DivineSublime All Will Be Well
This is supposed to the Scottish "Love Actually". It really isn't. It's okay, but very badly acted by some of the leads. Seven people looking for love through speed dating in Glasgow. It was charming in parts, and I did sort of like it, but the writing wasn't tight enough and they couldn't afford great actors. Having seen Ewan MacGregor and Eva Green earlier in the day, made me realise the difference between them. The actors in this overacted dreadfully. But it was very sweet – a Saturday afternoon movie in the rain.

"After the success of the inaugural Blue Note Jazz Festival, we decided to make this a yearly event as a way to continue expanding audiences, cultivate young talent and promote this wonderful music throughout New York City," Blue Note President Steven Bensusan said. "This year's performances go beyond jazz to include everything from flamenco, soul, and Latin to tap, blues and R&B, all with the common thread of improvisation. But the heart of the festival is and will always remain the type of jazz that we present night after night at the Blue Note club."Highline Ballroom, B.B. King's, Central Park Summerstage, The Apollo, Henry Street Playhouse, Brooklyn Bowl and Sullivan Hall are all on board to host parts of the festival, which will feature everyone from Béla Fleck to Stephanie Mills, Bootsy Collins to Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) and many, many other notables.

NY. yall treated a brother right last night at BB.Kings. We off to Canada now, but thanks for the love yall show us, the funk never forgets a good funkin'! Now that the Funkship is up & runnin', we plan to make many more Big Apple stops. We love, we funk! -[Bootsy Collins]Member of James Brown's band, Parliament-Funkadelic, a solo artist, and hands down one of the most fashion-conscious men in music, Bootsy Collins played BB King's on June 26th as part of the Blue Note Jazz Festival which comes to a close tonight (6/30). The starry-eyed one's 13-piece band Funk U-Nity, which featured former P-Funk members Bernie Worrell, Blackbyrd McKnight, and Frankie Kash, shook the booties of attendees at BB King's with the help of a special, and rather surprising guest:
Bootsy Collins brought the funk and Dr. Cornel West to B.B. King on Sunday night. The former Parliament-Funkadelic bassist and his all-star Funk U-nity band... tore the roof off the packed house with the help of the Princeton professor. West declared Collins an "unadulterated genius" before performing "Don't Take My Funk," a track off Bootsy's new CD, "Tha Funk Capital of the World." West guest-stars on the album, too, as does his Obama debating partner, the Rev. Al Sharpton. -[NY Daily News]The funkin' legend (and Dr. West) played a set of dancefloor burning grooves that included Bootsy's amp literally bursting into a cloud of smoke. Too much funky, I guess.
More pictures and a video from BB King's and all upcoming Bootsy dates are below...

Blue Note Jazz Fest continues -- Brian Wilson, Dave Brubeck, Bootsy Collins, The Roots, Roberta Flack, Estelle & more
Brian Wilson played the Highline Ballroom [Sunday] night as part of its sister club's month-long Blue Note Jazz Festival, and though the two-set show featured his entire current Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin album of Gershwin standards, it wasn't jazz, really, but no less demanding--and rewarding.As mentioned in that review, Brian Wilson's three shows at Highline Ballroom this week are part of the ongoing and inaugural Blue Note Jazz Festival, a month-long celebration of Blue Note's 30th Anniversary. The fest includes a ton of shows including the recent Aloe Blacc, Idle Warship, and Larry Graham gigs. Brian finished his run Tuesday night, while, Dave Brubeck (who just turned 90) and George Wein & the Newport All-Stars each began their own three-night run at Blue Note Jazz Club. Advanced tickets to the Dave Brubeck shows are sold out, but you can line up to sit be at the bar on a first come, first served basis (if you're 21+). Tickets are still on sale for George Wein.
The Beach Boys' beloved creative genius brought a 12-piece band of multi-instrumentalists/vocalists--and a local female string section--and all lived up to his contention that it's one of his best bands ever.
The Gershwin album, which was conceived under the aegis of his hero George Gershwin's estate, led off the second set--the first being a breathtaking recreation of Beach Boys classics ranging from the ultra-romantic 1963 ballad "Surfer Girl," his first composition, to the symphonic "Heroes And Villains" of 1967. While Wilson's ability to sing his signature falsetto vocal leads and harmonies is long gone, guitarist Jeff Foskett was downright spooky in mimicking it on hits like "Don't Worry Baby" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice." [Examiner]
The festival also includes many other shows we've mentioned before including the Jimmy Scott shows at The Blue Note on June 23. Tickets are still on sale.
The recently mentioned Bjorkestra show at Highline Ballroom on June 14 is also part of the festival. As discussed, tickets are on sale and can be purchased with a 50% discount by using the access code "BIGBAND."
The Chaka Khan shows at BB King's on June 18 are also part of the festival. Tickets are still on sale.
The festival also includes the Roy Ayers and Pete Rock show at Highline Ballroom on June 22. Tickets are still on sale.
Bootsy Collins
Bootsy Collins, who just played Bonnaroo, brings his previously announced Blue Note festival show to BB King's on June 26....
"Bootsy Collins was just one more band on our to-do list -- we didn't expect him to nearly steal the whole festival. After an annoying hour-plus wait that had the crowd chanting "bullshit," Collins instantly won the fans back in his favor by bringing THA FUNK. Everything was on the one after that. Lead guitarist Blackbyrd McKnight melted minds, while original P-Funk keyboardist Bernie Worrell provided the ballast. A special mid-set run found the band tackling classics by P-Funk, Jimi Hendrix, and Sly and The Family Stone." [American Songwriter]Tickets are still available for the NYC show.
Tickets are also still on sale for the two Roberta Flack shows at BB King's on June 24.
Questlove is presenting Mo' Meta Blues I at The Blue Note on June 20 and 21. Both days consist of an early show and a late show. Mo' Meta Blues I features Questlove on drums/electronics, Booker T on organ/keyboards/vocals, Eric Krasno on guitar, and Christian McBridge on bass. Tickets are on sale.
The following night (6/23), The Roots will present Mo' Meta Blues II - Paid In Full 25th Anniversary featuring Black Thought and Rakim at The Blue Note. There will also be an early and a late show. Advance tickets for table reservations are sold out, but you can still get in at the bar on a first come, first served basis (if you're 21+).
English R&B singer-songwriter, rapper and record producer Estelle plays two shows at Blue Note on June 24, her only upcoming appearances. Tickets are still on sale.
Al Kooper & Organ-asm play BB King's on June 29. Tickets are on sale.
"The Music of Stax Records" featuring Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, Eddie Floyd and Lester Snell is happening on June 26 at Highline Ballroom. Tickets are on sale.
Last but not least, we want to highlight the Dances of Vice presentred Powerhouse Stomp II: a musical tribute to the classic cartoons of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s on June 29 at Highline Ballroom featuring Brian Carpenter's Ghost Train Orchestra. Sounds fun and tickets are on sale.

Nashville 60's throwbacks De Robert & The Half-Truths will play their first funkin' NYC show ever at the Dig Deeper event at Southpaw on April 30th with Magic in Threes. Tickets are on sale. Though the band did not exist in the soul/funk heyday, it definitely mirrors the styles of that era much like popular retro-leaning acts like Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and Lee Fields & The Expressions. Check out a few samples of the band below.
Speaking of Lee Fields, he has some shows coming up too.
In other funky news, funk-jazz vibraphone great Roy Ayers will team with producer/DJ/MC Pete Rock for a show at Highline Ballroom on June 22nd. Tickets are on sale.

The FREE show features a "collective of jazz virtuosos, top MCs, singers, arrangers, and composers called The Jazz Mafia" who have "re-envisioned Ayers' classic works for this special show" which is one of many free Summerstage events that were recently announced.
BT Express will do it til you're satisfied, or at least until the endo of their set at Betsey Head Park on June 9th. They'll be joined by Felix Hernandez Rhythm Revue and the FREE show kicks off at 7PM. The Felix Hernandez Rhythm Revue will also support Harold Melvin's Blue Notes on July 29th in Queensbridge Park (also FREE, 7PM).
Jazz/funk/afrobeat trumpeter Hugh Masekela will play the Mainstage at Central Park on June 26th, teaming with Freshlyground and Somi for a FREE show. Doors open at 2PM with the show kicking off at 3.

She'll play a show as part of the Tribeca Film Festival on May 1st and the Apollo on May 19th as part of a fundraiser with Lou Reed and many others.
In semi-related news, Morris Day's former bandmate Prince is currently in the midst of a 21-night show stint at The Forum in Los Angeles with "roughly 85 percent" of the shows being only $25 with service fees. One of Prince's influences will also play NYC this summer. Larry Graham appears at BB King's on June 3rd with Funky Nights. Tickets are still available.

James Winkfield, (born April 12, 1882, Chilesburg, Kentucky, U.S.—died March 23, 1974, near Paris, France), American jockey, the last African American to win the Kentucky Derby.
In 1898 Winkfield's first race ended quickly with a four-horse tumble out of the gate that earned him a one-year suspension. On his return he soon made up for his earlier mistake and earned four consecutive rides in the Kentucky Derby, where he finished third, first, first, and second from 1900 through 1903. In 1903 he also rode in what was then the richest race in the United States, the Futurity Stakes in New York City. Already scheduled to ride for his usual stable in the race, he accepted a $3,000 offer to ride for another owner instead. His reputation was tarnished, and the number of his rides dropped by a third in 1903. With racetracks closing around the country because of antigambling legislation (down from 314 racetracks in 1890 to 25 by 1908), Winkfield accepted a position with an American-owned stable operating in Poland and Russia in 1904. (Many veteran American jockeys extended their careers in Europe, where heavier riding weights prevailed.) In his first season he won the Emperor's Purse in Russia and the "Tsarist Triple Crown"—the Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Warsaw derbies—and he was the 1904 Russian national riding champion. Beginning in 1909 he rode in Austria and Germany for a Polish prince and a German baron, notably winning the 1909 Grosser Preis von Baden in Germany. In 1913 he returned to Russia, where he earned 25,000 rubles a year plus 10 percent of all purses—at his peak, he earned roughly 100,000 rubles per year.
In 1919 the Russian Revolution reached him in Odessa, and, together with a Polish nobleman, he led the Southern Russian racing colony, along with 200 Thoroughbreds, on a hazardous escape to Poland. By 1920 Winkfield had reached Paris, where he resumed racing and won the Prix du Président de la République. He soon met and married an exiled Russian aristocrat, and he retired in 1930 to concentrate on breeding and training racehorses on property he bought near Maisons-Laffitte. Altogether he won approximately 2,600 races in the United States, Russia, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, and Spain.

The Top 10 Cars for Audiophiles
Car stereo robberies are on the decline. So are sales of aftermarket audio solutions. Why? Factory systems simply have become too good, essentially making both theft and the aftermarket unnecessary. Thanks to ever-increasing commute times, modern cars feature practically all the entertainment and amenities you'd expect from your living roomin fact, many offer audio quality that puts home theater systems to shame. So if you're a car-shopping audiophile, checking the stereo system that comes with the car is more important than ever. Here are our ten top picks, including obvious luxury players and some surprisingly affordable examples.
By James Tate
2011 Audi A8
Audi's flagship A8 luxury sedan is packed to the brim with state-of-the-art technology, and so it's not surprising that its audio system is one of the best we've ever experienced. The A8's top stereo option costs more than $6000, and Bang & Olufsen designed it for the Audi during the car's engineering phase. This digitally amplified system features an outrageous 1400 total watts and a 19-speaker layout, with each speaker meticulously designed and placed to match the acoustics and air space inside the A8.

Come cheer on your favorite angler at the 2009 Bassmaster Classic, Feb. 20-22, along the Red River in Shreveport-Bossier.
Billed as the Super Bowl of bass fishing, the spectacular three-day tournament will be one of the largest events ever held in the region. Hitch up
your boat trailer and get an up-close view from the Red River or watch from the banks at the Red River South Marina - the official launch site for the tournament.
The CenturyTel Center in Bossier City will host the tournament weigh-ins and also will be the official ESPN broadcast site. The 2009 Bassmaster
Classic Outdoor Expo, featuring more than 150 vendors, will be held at the Shreveport Convention Center in downtown Shreveport.
Complete with a theatrical presentation of the weigh-ins and hours of television coverage, the Bassmaster Classic delights fans of all ages. It is estimated
that 70,000 fans will attend the tournament's free, three-day consumer show and weigh-in. In addition, the entire event is expected to pump about $24 million into the Shreveport-Bossier economy.
The Bassmaster Classic will definitely be historic for Shreveport-Bossier, but also worldwide, as Kim Bain-Moore will be the tournament's first female angler
in its 39-year history. Bain-Moore, of Alabaster, Ala., snagged the Classic berth as the 2008 WBT Championship. She also was named the Toyota Tundra WBT Angler of the Year.

If it's the decision between greens, 333 questitems and some 346 heroic drops vs fully gemmed and enchanted 365 purple pvp gear i'd go with pvp, too. But comparing full heroic blues to 352 pvp stuff you'll only get some more agi/stam and lose a truckload of useful stats (considering you get x/mastery or x/crit and reforge x to dodge).
Some of our players also wear one pvp item or two while raiding just because heroic drops won't fly by (especially cloth and leather bracers/shoulders).

Wednesday's Health Winners & Losers
Boston Scientific (BSX) rose 3% to $17.23 after the company said 5,000 patients have now been treated with its Precision Spinal Cord Stimulation System, a rechargeable shocking device to treat chronic pain. The company is slated to report its quarterly earnings on Thursday.
Bovie Medical's (BVX) shares gained ground after the company announced it received Food and Drug Administration marketing approval for a suture-removal device for human, as well as animal, medical procedures. Shares were up 3.8% to $8.50.
Shares of DOV Pharmaceutical (DOVP) rose on positive results of an early trial on its experimental painkiller bicifadine. The drug didn't show signals of possibly causing cancer in rats or mice over two years. "This timeframe is accepted as analogous to administering the drug over a lifetime in humans," the company said in a press release. Shares of DOV were up 4.3% to $1.96.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals' (ALNY) shares fell 1.6% to $12.40 after the company reported a wider-than-expected net loss in the second quarter.The company lost $9.9 million, or 31 cents a share in the quarter, including $1.6 million, or 5 cents a share, in stock-based compensation expenses, compared with a loss of $11.1 million, or 54 cents a share, a year ago. Analysts were expecting the company to lose 28 cents a share. Revenue in the second quarter exceeded expectations, reaching $6 million vs. analysts' estimates of $5.6 million. Aspect Medical Systems (ASPM), a maker of anesthesia-monitoring systems, sank 14.9% to $15.66, despite better-than-expected earnings in the second quarter. The company earned $2.1 million, or 9 cents a share, compared with $1.6 million, or 7 cents a share, last year. Excluding stock-based compensation expenses, the company earned 16 cents a share, compared with analysts' expectations of 14 cents. Aspect's sales were up 21% to $22.6 million in the quarter. The company's third-quarter guidance was lower than analysts were expecting, however. In its earnings report, the company said it expects to earn 14 cents to 16 cents a share on sales of $22 million to $22.8 million. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First call were expecting earnings of 16 cents a share in the third quarter on sales of $24.1 million.

Minn. burglary suspect flees in kayak
Updated On: Jul 03 2014 04:26:44 PM CDT
Police in Minnesota had to jump into a boat to capture a man accused of burglarizing a restaurant.
The 31-year-old Austin man was arrested Sunday after trying to make his getaway in a kayak, according to The Associated Press.
The restaurant was closed when an employee giving a tour apparently interrupted the burglary.
Police determined the suspect was in a kayak on the nearby Cedar River. They got a fire department boat and, with the help of a firefighter at the wheel, were able to make the arrest.
The man is accused of stealing lighters and cleaning supplies.

6. Filing status errorsMake sure you choose the correct filing status for your situation. You have five options, and each could make a difference in your ultimate tax bill.
Make sure you choose the correct filing status for your situation. You have five options, and each could make a difference in your ultimate tax bill.
If this is the first tax-filing season since your divorce and you now are a single parent, writing "head of household" probably will be more beneficial. And what if you're still married, but you and your spouse are thinking about filing separate tax returns? That works in some cases, but not all.
Make sure you know what each tax-filing status entails, and choose the one that best fits your personal and tax situation.
Because the IRS stopped putting taxpayer Social Security numbers on tax package labels in response to privacy concerns, some taxpayers forget to write in their identification numbers. Your tax ID number is crucial because there are so many transactions -- income statements, savings account interest, retirement plan contributions -- keyed to this number.
The nine-digit sequence also is vital to claim several tax credits, such as the child tax and additional child tax credits, as well as ones for educational expenses and dependent care costs.
Did you give to charitable groups last year? All types of donations, from cash to cars, could be valuable tax deductions, so make sure you count them all when you file. Be sure to follow the donation tax rules, the most important being that you give to a qualified organization -- that is, one that has tax-exempt status with the IRS. Also be careful when calculating any gifts of clothing and household items. Tax law now requires that these donations be in good or better condition or the deduction is disallowed. And remember that the amount you can claim for donated goods is the fair market value of the items; that's what a willing buyer would pay for it in its current condition, not what you paid for it.
Sign and date your return. The IRS won't process it if it's missing a John Hancock, and that means on e-filed returns, too. Taxpayers filing electronically must sign the return electronically using a personal identification number, or PIN. To verify your identity, you'll have to provide the PIN you used last year or your adjusted gross income from your previous year's tax return.
Your tax software should walk you through the e-signature process, but if you're still mailing your return, don't be in such a hurry that you stuff your 1040 in the pre-addressed IRS envelope without signing it. And if it's a joint filing, both you and your spouse must sign.
Millions of taxpayers put off filing until the very last minute by filing Form 4868 to get a six-month extension. But you can't miss the Oct. 15 date. If you fail to send in your tax return and any additional tax you discover that you owe, you could face late- or non-filing penalties. Nobody wants to pay Uncle Sam a penny more than necessary, so don't make the mistake of missing the extended filing deadline.

As expected, there are lots of comparisons between Mac OS X and Windows Vista. This relatively recent article by Network Computing takes the two operating systems head-to-head; in most areas, Mac OS X takes the win. These comparisons are fully to be expected, and I imagine there are as many pundits, experts, and analysts that claim Windows Vista is the best as there are that claim Mac OS X is the best. It's just another phase in the Windows vs. Mac vs. Linux holy wars.
What's more interesting to me are the long-time Windows experts that are defecting the platform for the Macintosh, even as Microsoft is releasing the latest version of Windows—a version that is supposed to represent the next generation of usability and productivity. Why is this happening? Why, when Vista is now available, are Windows experts forsaking the platform?
The latest is Scot Finnie, who in this latest article states:
Bye-bye Windows! My three-month Macintosh trial has ended, but my permanent gig with the Mac is just getting started. Apple's MacBook Pro and Mac OS X are now my computer and operating system of choice.
A while back, there were rumblings that a couple of high-profile defections from Mac OS X to Linux were "canaries in the Mac OS X and Red Hat coal mines†and that Apple should be worried. When Mac OS X first started gaining ground, lots of "alpha geeks†adopted the platform; but, honestly, most of these were already UNIX-heads or Linux-heads to begin with, and I think they were really just looking for an alternative to Microsoft. That is, people who were already inclined to a Unix-like platform were more likely to jump ship than those firmly entrenched in the Windows camp.
Now, though, we are seeing the Windows die-hards switching platforms. This isn't simply moving from one UNIX-like platform to a different UNIX-like platform. Mac OS X is nothing like Windows, and switching from one platform to another is a pretty significant effort. Clearly, there must be a reason why these long-time Windows users are switching. These aren't your average Windows users—these are Windows power users, users who have championed the Windows platform for years. Now they're switching to the Mac.
I find this very interesting. I don't know; maybe I'm just reading more into it than is really there. But I can't help thinking that this may be the start of a much larger trend. When the Mac is winning marketshare from Windows at a time when Windows is supposed to be at its strongest, and when those switchers are the former champions of the Windows platform, there's something more at play here.

It's two things:
(1) the release of Vista implies a hardware upgrade (I know it can run on lower-end systems — with a speed hit — but most people won't upgrade unless forced to or via a hardware purchase, and the power users will want the newer kit anyway); this gives people an opportunity to look around, see what else is out there. Since they have to move on anyway, it's a great time to a serious look at the Mac.
(2) Once they look, they can see that Mac hardware is very low-risk commitment; you can now run Windows on it if you need to or want to. And it's the most modern and reliable hardware available. And there isn't a "Mac tax" anymore; Apple's prices are competitive.
Also, I have yet to see anyone doing a comparison decide that Vista is superior to the Mac. At most, they seem to be considered equals. Usually, the Mac wins for sheer elegance, though. It's like I missed some.
Anecdotally, I've have two friends, with NO prodding from me, buy Macs. I am a big Mac fan, from 1989, but more so now that the gap between Mac and Windows has widened with the release of OS X.
Yet, Apple's Mac sales weren't amazingly "off the curve" last quarter. I think it will take some time to see if large-scale switching or "adding" is really taking place.
Some of it is, no doubt, the internet noise factor. If I have a scratch on my lapop EVERYBODY in the world can know about it TOMORROW, if I post it on a blog– even if most laptops don't have scratches. Same with "switchers" or anything else.
As for Mac Vs. Ubuntu– in my view they are both a big step up from Windows; kudos to anyone who upgrades to either.
The only constant is change. But when change happens for the sake of change, it's time for a real change. That's what's happening. Whether it will reach tipping point and critical mass …. not any time soon. Inertia is a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Don't fear change. Change fear.
Part of what is going I'd chalk up to XP fatigue and people having really bad experiences with viruses. Personally, I think the trend will decrease with Vista on the market. People will want to at least check it out and its pretty cool in terms of look as feel. I still think the Mac is better.

R-Tools creates serious recovery software. R-Studio for Windows can help relieve you of many types of stressful disk disasters, including reformatted partitions, damaged disks and hard disks with bad sectors. It has an advanced RAID reconstruction tool and a powerful text/hex editor. This file recovery tool is nearly as complex and effective as professional data recovery software and earns our TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award.
R-Studio can easily recover all known file types that have been deleted as long as the files have not been written over. The software is compatible with all Windows operating systems back to Windows 9x, and it can create disk images. R-Tools provides utilities for all types of recovery needs, from simple file deletion to network editions and technician editions of the software for difficult data-loss disasters.
The version we reviewed is uncomplicated enough for most moderately tech-savvy users to handle, yet it also includes tools for advanced users. R-Tools do not offer professional recovery services, so you cannot send a damaged disk to the company to have them recover the files on it for you, but they do offer professional-grade software to those who provide these services.
R-Tools recovery software can recover lost files from any memory device, including hard disks, externally connected disks, memory cards, CDs and DVDs, floppy disks, USB-connected drives and more. It can even recover unknown file types if you create the parameters for the software to find them. The R-Studio version we reviewed runs on Windows PCs and can recover data from the same PC or connected devices and restore files to any memory device accessible by the host machine. However, the network version can run on any Windows-based PC and recover files from other types of machines and storage arrays via a network or internet connection.
The file recovery software can attempt to restore data after a variety of disk problems, including viruses, partition changes, reformatting, running of utility tools, or disks with bad sectors. It can even perform damaged RAID recovery by creating a virtual RAID from its components. The virtual RAID can process data like the original array. We tested this software's ability to discover and restore a group of files on three test PCs running Windows 7. This software was able to restore all our test files, and it even kept our deleted music album folder intact rather than splitting it into separate files.
This recovery software includes all the recovery tools we looked for, from a variety of scan options to disk imaging capabilities. It is a bit more complex than most consumer-grade recovery software, but there is an easy-to-use tool for simply restoring deleted files if that is all you need to do. However, this Windows product is suitable to handle challenging recovery conundrums, including complex searches and restorations.
R-Studio can recover files from unbootable computers in a variety of ways. You can remove the hard drive and attach it to a functioning computer running the software, run R-Tools recovery software with a startup bootable device such as a USB drive or via a network connection from a PC running the network version. These tasks are challenging but useful if you need them. This software also comes with a disk-imaging tool, which can create disk images of a damaged disk for file restoration. It can also create partial images that can be stored on smaller storage devices such as a USB drive or DVDs, which is useful since full disk images are usually large files.
Some advanced tools include the ability to create a virtual RAID, regions and unique file types, as well as the ability to configure scan options. The software also includes a capable text and hexadecimal editor. The advanced tools R-Studio provides may appear complex to use, but if you are familiar with the terminology and understand advanced restoration methods, you will appreciate its features.
R-Studio includes basic and advanced search tools to help you recover your lost files. The basic sort tools filter files by type, dates and size. One of the reasons that search tools are important is that in most cases, deleted or lost files do not display their original file names. A file once named "family Hawaii vacation 2012" may display in the recovery results as "$jfsldk959673," which makes finding exact files and folders difficult. Sort and filter tools can help you restore specific files or specific types of files that can be grouped as you save them, which should make managing mass volumes of recovered files slightly less tedious.
Advanced search and filter tools are extremely comprehensive. For example, you can view detailed file descriptions and even view drive scan maps. You can search for exactly what you are looking for down to the string options and specific locations. Most people will never use these advanced tools, but if you need them, this software includes them.
Recovery software can be complex. Since restoring lost files can be stressful and difficult, good technical support is paramount. If you need assistance with this software, you can consult the extensive user manual or contact the company by email or telephone during standard business hours. We contacted them by email and they responded to our queries on the same day.
The company also hosts an active user forum that covers hundreds of topics. To accommodate a wide range of customers, they provide customer support in English and French, and their website is localized in nine languages that include Spanish, Korean, Japanese and Russian among others. To learn more about the product and product updates, you can follow R-Tools on Twitter and Facebook.
R-Studio for Windows is as close as you can get to professional data recovery services in a do-it-yourself software solution. It can recover data lost due to all types of problems, from simple accidental file deletions to full system crashes and reformatted drives. Restoring mass quantities of data is complicated, but this software is multifaceted enough to handle complex situations. If you have a severely damaged disk, cannot start Windows or have partition issues, R-Studio is one of the best solutions available to help you restore your files and your peace of mind.
R-Studio includes all the basic and advanced tools you need to attempt recovery of all file types from all types of disk disasters.
This software is complex and more difficult to use than some consumer-level, do-it-yourself data recovery software.
If you have a challenging restoration project to accomplish, this software is suitable for the job. It can restore files from all types of disk and partition issues, and even remotely if necessary.

Leading in Tough Times: The Innovators
Leadership is not about finding a parade and getting in front; it's about creating a parade people want to follow!
Whether you are a leader of a small business or large corporation, leading during tough times is hard work. But hard does not mean impossible. It does, however, require a laser-like attention to detail and a hands-on shift from "business as usual." Profitability must be maintained to ensure your company can make it through an economic downturn, and leaders must take proactive, bold and decisive steps to achieve it.
With messages of doom and gloom permeating the news, it's easy to believe everyone is struggling to maintain profitability. And although there are companies and industries in serious economic crisis, many others continue to thrive and are poised for growth.
So what sets the two apart? According to results from a Bloomberg Businessweek.com/Hay Group 2009 Best Companies for Leadership survey, leadership is clearly linked to positive financial results, with the Top 20 Companies for Leadership consistently outperforming the S&P 500 by significant margins."The best companies for developing leaders recognize the value of strong leadership in both the good times and the bad," says John Larrere, national director of leadership and talent at Hay Group. "Culturally, they just cannot do away with leadership development, even in a recession. They don't see it as a perk but as a necessity." Effective business leadership is essential to a company's survival and is the key to its long-term success and profitability. Companies that place little emphasis on leadership development struggle to maintain profitability when key leadership departs, while top companies understand the importance of investing in leadership training and development. In her article "How Companies Develop Great Leaders," Patricia O'Connell writes that there is a sense of urgency to develop leaders in the best-led companies and that these companies actively manage a pool of successors for mission-critical roles. Jayne Johnson, GE's (GE) director of leadership education, comments, "Our culture is committed to leadership development....Today more than ever, we need our leaders going to Crotonville

We've put together quite the program for the February 18 Startup Rally. Now, the only thing we need is a wider circle of sponsorship partners to help us make this the great success that it can and will be. Just look at what's come together in a couple weeks:
- The largest gathering of startups in Georgia since 1895 will feature 100 startups, main stage speakers and panels all day, and the launch of Startup Georgia.
- Students from across the state of Georgia will be filling the hall to discover the great summer startup internships available to them.
- Potential customers and investors are lining up to be among the first to meet the next great wave of Georgia companies.
- The press and government officials are eager to see those leading the startup/innovation sector.
Sponsorships will cover the costs of producing the event and — more importantly — give us the resources to field a robust media team to produce as much video, photography, audio, and written content about the burgeoning Atlanta/Georgia startup community. With so many great startups and people gathering, we have the opportunity to create a large library of stories and other great content to generate massive awareness locally, nationally, and globally of the great things happening here.
Here's how you can help:
Presenting Sponsor (one remaining)
You can claim the last remaining spot to join MailChimp, BLH Venture Partners, KontrolFreek.com and NationalBuilderSupply.com.
Main Stage Sponsor (Claimed by Northwestern Mutual Insurance)
Your organization will be at the center of everyone's attention throughout the day.
Underground Lounge Sponsor (Claimed by Social Fortress)
You can help provide attendees a place to relax, have conversation, and grab refreshments.

You can make a great first impression at registration and everyone who looks at the agenda.

In a world of increasingly complex systems, we could enable social and environmental behaviour change by using IoT-type technologies for practical co-creation and constructionist public engagement.
[This article is cross-posted to Medium, where there are some very useful notes attached by readers]
We're heading into a world of increasingly complex engineered systems in everyday life, from smart cities, smart electricity grids and networked infrastructure on the one hand, to ourselves, personally, being always connected to each other: it's not going to be just an Internet of Things, but very much an Internet of Things and People, and Communities, too.
Yet there is a disconnect between the potential quality of life benefits for society, and people's understanding of these — often invisible — systems around us. How do they work? Who runs them? What can they help me do? How can they help my community?
IoT technology and the ecosystems around it could enable behaviour change for social and environmental sustainability in a wide range of areas, from energy use to civic engagement and empowerment. But the systems need to be intelligible, for people to be engaged and make the most of the opportunities and possibilities for innovation and progress.
They need to be designed with people at the heart of the process, and that means designing with people themselves: practical co-creation, and constructionist public engagement where people can explore these systems and learn how they work in the context of everyday life rather than solely in the abstract visions of city planners and technology companies.

Well, the economy may be driving the increase in thefts, including bank robberies, but should people blame foreclosures, credit defaults, unemployment or poverty as a legitimate reason for stealing? Obviously, some do.
According to insurancejournal.com, shoplifting, employee theft and organized crime cost the global retail industry $119 billion in the 12 months that ended in June 2011, up 6.6 percent from a year earlier.
The online insurance journal quoted Joshua Bamfield, director of the Centre for Retail Research and author of the study, as saying, "'A sluggish global economy and high unemployment likely contributed to the increase. Many people in every country feel that the political classes have let them down and probably bankers have let them down," Bamfield said, adding, "that may have given some people more psychological license to steal."
It is this "psychological license to steal" that is causing concern in a world where honesty is being questioned as the best policy. As one person said, "I don't regard it as stealing, I regard it as a badly needed reallocation of economic resources!"
Once a person justifies stealing — believing everyone does it — it is easier to convince oneself that stealing in normal. It is common. It is not normal. The first tangible crime mentioned in the Holy Bible was an act of theft, recorded at Genesis 3:1-6. Eve became convinced she had a "license to steal" when she chose to believe that taking what was not hers could improve her lot in life.
Engaging in property theft, joined by her husband, brought far more consequences than either of them had imagined. How so? Not only did Adam and Eve return to the dust, as God had warned, but they would suffer.
Consider the verdict God pronounced on the first thieves at Genesis 3:16-19: "To the woman He said, "I will make your pain much worse in giving birth. You will give birth to children in pain. Yet your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.
"Then He said to Adam, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I told you, 'Do not eat from it,' the ground is cursed because of you. By hard work you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will grow thorns and thistles for you.
"You will eat the plants of the field. You will eat bread by the sweat of your face because of hard work, until you return to the ground, because you were taken from the ground. You are dust, and you will return to dust." — New Life Version.
The first couple would experience more pain and less enjoyment in their family, in childbearing and in working to produce food. The worst penalty for stealing, however, was recorded at Genesis 3:23-24:
"So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove them out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life." — Today's New International Version.
Adam and Eve lost their paradise home and their close relationship with God. They lost their innocence, a happy future and the prospect of parenting sinless children who would fill the earth as God had originally purposed.
What about the consequences of stealing today? Some thieves have lost their lives — being shot and killed — in the process of a robbery. If caught, a criminal record can haunt you longer than you ever imagined, affecting future job opportunities. Also, companies think twice about giving convicted thieves a job. Can anyone blame them?
The prospect of losing life, one's freedom, a good name, a better financial future and even one's relationship with God has caused some people to rethink their options when their backs were against the wall.
Understandably, when faced with no money, no food, no shelter and nowhere else to turn, some people no longer think straight, adopting a "psychological license to steal" — not out of greed but out of necessity to survive.
Proverbs 6:30-31 acknowledges, "Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving. But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house." — New Living Translation.
The Bible's answer is found at Ephesians 4:28: "Thieves must quit stealing and, instead, they must work hard. They should do something good with their hands so that they'll have something to share with those in need." — GOD'S WORD Translation.
Christians who work at doing "something good," helping others, are often blessed with what they need, as Jesus said at Matthew 6:25-33. So try to save some money, borrow the money, ask for money, just don't steal the money. Because in the end, crime does not pay. You'll only be robbing yourself.

Tent Cot oversize DTC443
By Martin A. from Thompsonville, MI on Jul 30, 2012
Bargain Hunter
Seems to be a well made product. Does what it supposed to do and seems to be sturdy enough to last. Well thought out and designed. One thing that I suspect may break in the long run is the plastic clips that are snapped onto the legs to hold things in place. The plastic will probably get brittle and break eventually and then something will have to be improvised. Maybe they can make replacement clips with an open slot that can be slipped on the strap after cutting off the old one. Also, the instruction aren't very good. Some pictures with the names of the part and showing how they go on would be very helpful.

(Corrects name of village in first paragraph in story originally published July 14.)
Four Saudi security personnel were injured in an attack by masked gunmen while on patrol in Saihat in the oil-rich Eastern Province, the Saudi Press Agency reported, citing an Interior Ministry spokesman.
Gunmen also fired at a police station in Awwamiya and threw a Molotov cocktail while riding motorcycles, the Riyadh-based news service said today, citing Major General Mansour al-Turki. One of the assailants was killed in the attack on the station and three others escaped, it said.
While Sunni-majority Saudi Arabia largely avoided the unrest that spread across the Arab world last year, minority Shiite protesters have clashed with security forces in Awwamiya, al-Qatif and other eastern towns. In February, Saudi Arabia accused "a number of elements" of trying to provoke violence by firing on security forces in Awwamiya.
"A new cycle of Shiite protests against the Saudi regime and its policing tactics is developing in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia," Crispin Hawes, director for the Middle East and North Africa at Eurasia Group in London, wrote in an e- mailed note yesterday. "The immediate implications for state stability and crude oil production are limited, but the repercussions for the stability of the province in the longer- term are potentially significant."
Oil pipelines run near the village to Ras Tanura, the country's largest refinery, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) away. Awwamiya is close to the al-Qatif oil field, which produces as much as 500,000 barrels a day. Saudi Arabia is the world's biggest oil exporter.
Cleric Arrested
The attacks came about five days after Saudi security forces arrested dissident Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr in Awwamiya earlier this month, the Saudi Press Agency reported on July 8. Two Shiite men were killed after his arrest though there were no security confrontations, the Interior Ministry said said in a statement sent by mobile-phone text message on July 9.
Videos posted on Youtube and Al-Jazeera showed demonstrators in the streets al-Qatif and Awwamiya after the arrest of al-Nimr. The authenticity of the videos couldn't be verified by Bloomberg News. The Interior Ministry said a "limited number of people have assembled" in Awwamiya.
"The current demonstrations are more severe and appear to be more coordinated than previous incidents," Hawes said.
The U.S. State Department noted in a human-rights report on Saudi Arabia published in 2009 that Shiites in the kingdom face "significant political, economic, legal, social and religious discrimination condoned by the government."
Behind Riots
U.S. citizens living in or considering travel to al-Qatif and Awwamiya should exercise caution and be aware of the potential for protests that can result in violence, the American Embassy in Riyadh said in an e-mailed statement July 9. There is a potential for further demonstrations, the embassy said.
Awwamiya, a village north of al-Qatif on the Persian Gulf, was the scene of much larger demonstrations in 2009 after police sought to arrest al-Nimr, who had said in a sermon that Saudi Shiites may be able to seek a state of their own in the future. Al-Nimr has been one of the people behind riots in Awwamiya, the Interior Ministry said after his arrest.
Saudi Arabia has accused Shiite-led Iran of interfering in the affairs of Arab countries in the Persian Gulf, home to three-fifths of the world's oil reserves. Iran denies this and accuses Sunni rulers in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia of discriminating against Shiites.

What is 1ms response time? Response time in monitors refer to the amount of time a pixel (dot) takes to go from black to white and back to black again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). The lower the number, the faster the pixels can change, reducing the ghosting or streaking effect you might see in a moving or changing image such as in games and movies.
Common response times range anywhere from 14ms to 5ms. Monitors that are designed for faster applications feature response times as fast as 2ms. These monitors are ideal for gamers, video enthusiasts, engineers and movie production houses.

Fast (lower) response time
Full HD 1080p resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio The VX2739wm features a 27" widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution that is capable of displaying a native Full HD 1080p image. Today, devices that can display Full HD content output are getting more and more common. However, without a native Full HD display, you will not be able to experience the picture clarity and the details of the 1080p content you view.
The Viewsonic VX2739wm's 27" panel offers another new trend in the LCD panel market, the16:9 aspect ratio. This new aspect ratio not only natively supports Full HD 1080p content, but displays Full HD without distortion. For example, a 1920x1200 resolution monitor will also support Full HD 1080p but it will either stretch to fit into a full screen or would show blank side bars to avoid distortion. With a 16:9 aspect ratio panel, you will get the most out of your HD content since it is natively designed in this format.

Barack Obama Shares Bible Verses at Newtown Vigil
By Jason Boog on December 17, 2012 3:42 PM
In an emotional vigil in Newtown, Connecticut, President Barack Obama spoke about the tragedy that occurred in that community last week.
In his speech, the President quoted three passages from the Bible. Obama concluded with Matthew 19:14: "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them — for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."
You can read a transcript of Obama's speech online or watch the video below. If you want to see the passages in context, we've linked to English Standard Version of the Bible for the individual quotes.
