Singapore, once a quiet fishing village, was founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles, an official of the British East India Company, who though it was an ideal location for a trading post. Since then it has become one of the world's most prosperous cities. Known as the Lion City, Singapore is by far the largest and most significant island among the others that constitute the state of Singapore. Here, Asian tradition meets modern technology - glinting skyscrapers tower over traditional dwellings, while Chinese and Hindu temples dot the city. Singapore is an interesting combination of ancient and modern. The city is home to an ethnic mix of Chinese, Malays and Indians, as well as expats from all over the world, in a mostly English-speaking society. Its free trade policy as has led to an extraordinary rise in the standard of living and exponential economic growth, due mainly to the export industry. Singapore is frequently designated as Asia's top business destination, and is regarded as one of the finest places for international conferences, conventions and exhibitions. Singapore will host the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics.

Sony made a splash with its point-and-shoot 10 megapixel, 4x optical zoom Cyber-shot DSC-G3 - the first digital camera with a built-in browser. While it's not perfect, the G3 is a huge step forward in digicam connectivity since other wireless digital camera implementations limit the user to a single online sharing service.
With the G3's browser, you can choose from any number of sites and can type in passwords and/or credit card information if you need to pay for WiFi wherever you happen to be. But the G3 is more than just a techno novelty; read on to find out more and whether or not the camera is worth its premium price tag.
In addition to a built-in browser, this slender but solidly constructed point-and-shoot camera is equipped with a mega-sized 3.5 inch high resolution (921,600 dots) touchscreen LCD and a whopping 4GB of internal memory. With all that memory, the G3 is the perfect device for showing off your images while you're out and about.
At its heart, though, the G3 is a capable point-and-shoot camera with all the features one expects from a snapshot camera, with a few extras thrown in. You'll find some good face detection options, Smile Shutter, an anti-blink mode, mechanical image stabilization, and Sony's DRO (Dynamic Range Optimization). The latter, which helps retain details in highlights and shadows is a trickle-down feature from Sony's alpha line of digital SLRs.
Ergonomics and Controls
Measuring approximately 4x0.9x2.4 inches and weighing about 7 ounces, the G3 isn't quite as slim as some of its siblings but is still small enough to slip into a jeans pocket. It's a little weighty but that just gives the camera some substance and a good balance when trying to slide the camera open. Actually, it's more like you have to pull the camera apart in order to power it up, so grip the top and bottom of either side and pull.
Alternatively, you can use the tiny power button to turn it on but you still have to open the camera to shoot. If you simply want to view images, you can leave the camera closed and hit the playback button to review images. There's a WLAN indicator on the top left edge and a WLAN button on the right that starts up web browser, as well as a zoom switch and that's about it for hard controls. Everything else is accessed via the touchscreen.
The camera is a little awkward to hold since it's basically flat when open. But, after a while, you'll find the right balance.
The touchscreen interface isn't as responsive as I had hoped. And while the camera comes with a stylus, I found it easier to use my fingertip (or the tip of my nail) to navigate the screen. Be sure to have a microfiber cloth handy at all times to wipe the inevitable smudges from the LCD.
Menus and Modes
Unfortunately, the menu system isn't as clear cut and easy to navigate as other cameras in its class (including the G3's siblings from Sony). Visually, the icons and text are small and pale against the LCD's background, making it even more difficult to figure out what you're doing. This is one camera that, even though it's a point-and-shoot, requires a thorough review of the manual to really understand all of the camera's features. Of course, if you're patient and like to experiment, you'll eventually find your way around the menu system.
Capture modes are pretty straightforward: Auto, Program, Scene, Easy and Movie. Here's where the manual really comes in handy since there's a chart that lists the options available in each mode. For example, Smile Detection Sensitivity can be adjusted in Auto mode but not in the other options. DRO (dynamic range optimization) can be accessed in Program mode but none of the others. However, the G3 is smart enough to tell you when a feature is not available because you're in the wrong mode-press the "smile" icon and a message appears saying the Smile Shutter is only available in Auto mode. Additionally, the G3 has a very good on-board help function that explains the different settings.
While the touchscreen interface is less than super-responsive and the menu system can be confusing, the G3 offers a lot of features for a camera of its class.
First and foremost is the WiFi browser. Before you can connect, you need to set up your connection. Once you get it set up, uploading images is relatively easy. It's just that with anything WiFi, things can become complicated. If you're comfortable with terms like SSID and know your way around a virtual keyboard (the supplied stylus comes in handy here), then you'll be fine but just a little frustrated by how tedious the process can be.
Sony offers free access using WayPort and AT&T hotspots through 2012, but I found it just as easy to get a signal at a local Panera while out having lunch. Services such as YouTube, Photobucket, Picasa and Shutterfly are accessed via a Sony portal, so you'll need an account with an online photosharing site before you start. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect is that you can only upload one photo at a time, which is time-consuming and labor intensive. Still, having a browser is a huge leap forward for digital cameras.
Other features of note include the ability to simply touch the screen to indicate a focus point-which is very helpful when your subject is off-center.
Sony has implemented innovative technology for taking pictures of people that go beyond face detection that ties in exposure and AF to the recognized subjects. Like focus, you can activate face detection only when a face is touched or keep it set to Auto, where the camera will automatically recognize the faces. For even more detail, you set face detection to give priority to children's faces or to adult faces. At the same time, redeye reduction can be turned off, on or work only when faces are detected so you won't have the pre-flash delay when you're not photographing people.
DRO options are not as extensive as they are on Sony's DSLRs but you can turn the feature off or set it to standard or plus. The latter, of course, would be for higher contrast scenes. DRO can't create image information (i.e., details in highlights or shadows) that aren't there but it does a decent job of balancing the range of lights to darks in an image.
Exposure bracketing, normal/vivid/sepia/black and white color modes and three macro options are some of the other features offered by the G3. Autofocus and metering options are available as well.
Sony's SteadyShot mechanical image stabilization works fairly well when low light drops your shutter speed to slower settings.
As a portable photo album, the G3 offers tons of options including on-board organizational and creative tools and some nifty slideshow with music options as well. And a host of retouching options and a fun painting tool are some of the features that round out the G3's playback selections.
As expected, the G3 does not have an optical viewfinder. There's simply no room for one given the LCD's 3.5 inch size which occupies almost all of the camera's rear real estate. The display can be set to normal, with lots of camera data (pretty much everything you need to know when taking a photo) or you can opt for a simpler, less crowded view or pare it down so that only the image appears on the screen when you're composing a shot. You can also choose to show a live histogram to help gauge exposure and then adjust via the EV (exposure compensation) feature.
The LCD is very good under most lighting conditions and is superior for viewing images you've just shot or when using the G3 as a portable photo album to show off your pictures to family and friends.
In low light, the screen is a little grainy and doesn't refresh quickly enough when panning. There's very little gain up (brightening) of the LCD in low light and even upping the brightness setting to "bright" versus its default setting doesn't make much difference. But it's still good enough to compose in low light and works pretty well outdoors in all but the brightest sunlight
The Sony G3 is fun to shoot with and it definitely has a cool factor with its pull-apart design, huge touchscreen LCD and WiFi capabilities. Shooting with the G3 has its frustrations-the touchscreen interface (like those on other cameras) can be a little unresponsive at times, although it does pretty well when you select a focus point with your fingertip. Getting the WiFi feature to work can be tedious, as is the one-by-one uploading of images.
As a point-and-shoot camera, the G3 fares better. As you'll see in the following paragraphs, it performs pretty well from start-up to shot-to-shot time. However, there are a couple of areas in which the camera delivers only-average or below average performance.
Shooting Performance
Once you figure out how to open the camera, the G3 starts up pretty quickly. Shutter lag is minimal and there's relatively little delay between shots. Of course, the flash will slow down shot-to-shot time-but not by much.
Autofocus is decently fast and accurate in bright light and even at dusk. In low light, however, the G3's AF is a little sluggish as it searches for enough contrast to lock in. But the face detection functions work well at honing in on faces, while the smile shutter and blink detection features, for the most part, worked as planned.

Continuous shooting speed, at about 1.6 frames per second is nothing to write home about but it's not terrible for a camera of this type. But the buffer is pretty large and you'll be able to capture close to 100 images in a single burst, according to Sony (I stopped after about 55 shots).

|1.6 fps
|Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS
|1.5 fps
|Casio Exilim EX-Z150
|1.3 fps
* Note: Continuous shooting framerates are based on the camera's fastest full-resolution JPEG continuous shooting mode, using the fastest media type available (300x CF, SDHC, etc.). "Frames" notes the number of captures recorded per burst before the camera stops/slows to clear the buffer.
Shutter speed is limited to a high of 1/1000th of a second but that's generally fast enough to stop most action. And when the lights are low, Sony's SteadyShot mechanical image stabilization can be used to help compensate for slower shutter speeds. You might gain a stop or two, so a small tripod will come in handy when you don't want to raise the ISO (read on to find out why).
Where the camera falls short is in battery life, which is limited to about 200 shots per charge. The numbers might not look bad comparatively but since the G3's 4GB internal memory, huge LCD and multiple viewing options are so enticing, as is its WiFi functionality, it's a shame that if you make use of these features the battery will drain more quickly than expected.
Lens Performance
Equipped with a 4x optical zoom, with a 35mm-equivalent focal range of 35-140mm, the G3 doesn't excel at either end of the spectrum. With a mere 35mm wide angle, the camera can't compete with the multitude of 28mm-equipped point-and-shoot models on the market. The telephoto range isn't bad, though, and should work for zooming in mid-distant subjects.
The lens isn't terribly fast with an f/3.5-f/10 range. On the other hand, having an f/10 aperture helps give you a better depth-of-field.
Even at a mere 35mm wide angle, the G3 exhibits minor distortion at wide angle. It's noy gt terrible but at 35mm, but it should be better. Chromatic aberrations, i.e., purple fringing along high contrast edges, and some softening in the corners were also present in some test images.
Wide angle
Video Quality
The Sony G3 offers three video options (no HD, though): 640x480 at 30fps (fine), 640x480 at 17fps (Standard) and Web-ready 320x480 at 8fps. Not surprisingly, the best results are achieved at the "fine" setting, and footage at this resolution and fps is quite good for this class of camera. Colors and exposure are generally accurate and noise isn't overwhelming under better lighting conditions.
The zoom can be operated during movie capture although it's fairly slow, and recording times max out at 10 minutes. Be aware, though, that you need a Memory Stick PRO Duo (vs. the Memory Stick Duo) when shooting at the highest (fine) quality.
Image Quality
Image quality is good for this class of camera. Colors are nicely saturated and accurately rendered-unless faced with some shades of red (mostly flowers) where many digital cameras stray a bit from reality. If you want a bit more pizzazz, colors can be bumped up via the Vivid color mode option.
Intelligent Scene Recognition is pretty good at analyzing shooting conditions and choosing the right "scene mode" settings for it, but it does get it wrong on occasion. Still, it's one of the best ways to truly achieve no-brainer photography!
Otherwise, exposure is fairly accurate even in tricky just-before-sunset lighting outdoor conditions and Las Vegas' cacophony of neon displays.
The lens, despite its faults (see earlier discussion), delivers fairly sharp images with good detail and can handle macro shots pretty well. Try to engage the DRO setting when shooting in high contrast settings, though, to get the best results.
Auto white balance worked well outdoors but delivers very warm images under incandescent light indoors. Best to use the presets when you're shooting in anything but daylight conditions.
Auto White Balance, 3200K incandescent light
With an ISO range of 80-3200, the G3 offers a lower light sensitivity setting than most and, whenever possible, you should keep the ISO as low as possible to keep image noise at a minimum. As you can see from the samples, image noise starts to minimally affect image quality at about ISO 200 and increases from there.
Ideally, ISO should be topped at 200 for the best results but you can get decent prints up to about ISO 800, although you might want to keep them at snapshot sizes of 4x6" or 5x7". Overall, though I was pleased with my test shots, especially the ones shot in Vegas, which is a colorful but sometimes challenging environment to shoot in.
Additional Sample Images
The Sony DSC-G3 isn't flawless but with its built-in WiFi and browser, 4GB internal memory, good functionality as a portable digital photo album and 3.5 inch touchscreen LCD, this slender camera certainly differentiates itself from every other consumer digicam on the market. The big question is whether or not it's worth the high price tag. And that's a question that only you can answer, although given that when this review was posted, Sony had dropped the price of the G3 from $500 to $420 on its website, the cost of ownership is slightly more reasonable.
As a digital camera, the G3 offers good performance and image quality and a solid point-and-shoot feature set. But if you're not going to make use of the WiFi/browser or the huge internal memory, you'll find better value elsewhere.

Beddington - Use Disasters To Pass Green Laws
Foreign disasters 'can justify costly climate measures' | The Times
Climate-related disasters overseas should be used by the Government to persuade British voters to accept unpopular policies for cutting carbon emissions, says Sir John Beddington, the Government's chief scientific adviser. Droughts, floods and storms in foreign countries could be used as "policy windows", making it easier to introduce "bold actions" that would otherwise be politically unacceptable.
Sir John yesterday published a report entitled International Dimensions of Climate Change, which identified "a very real gap between people's expressed concerns about the environment and their actions".
The report concluded that the Government must find ways of overcoming growing scepticism and "fatigue with climate change as an issue" to convince the public of the need for "costly environmental policies".
It said the impacts of climate change on Britain would be too modest over the next two decades to convince people of the need to place the country on a "war footing" to address emissions. Politicians should instead take advantage of disasters overseas in the same way that their predecessors had used natural catastrophes in Britain to push through expensive measures.
"These would allow legislators the licence to take specific bold actions which they ordinarily believe would not otherwise be possible or politically acceptable, such as the introduction of the Clean Air Act after the London smog, and the development of the Thames Flood Barrier after the flooding of East Anglia in 1953," the report said.
It pointed out that people needed to be persuaded to take personal responsibility for climate change. A survey last year found that only 10 per cent of people thought that the main responsibility for action on climate change lay with individuals and their families.
The report said that the Government should also seek to use voluntary groups and campaigning organisations to help to persuade the public of the need for action on emissions. It said these groups could be more trusted on the issue than politicians.
"If public trust in government messages and authority remains relatively low, it might be necessary to put more effort into indirect influencing via trusted third parties in civil society, through new forms of public engagement and policy dialogues," the report said.
It conceded that it would not be possible to justify curbs on emissions by claiming that there would be significant direct impacts on Britain's climate by 2030. It stated: "The UK, compared with many other parts of the world, is not expected to experience significant adverse direct climate change effects over the next two decades."

We're moving Mobile Portland from this site to Meetup.com. Please join us there for future meeting announcements.
When thinking of technologies in the far future it's common to think of devices that allow us to add to and replace reality: heads up displays, the Minority Report's hovering interfaces, virtual worlds from the holodeck to name a few. They are fantastic devices that could make incredible new experiences. So how could we create them?
Augmented Reality, or AR, is a growing technology that overlays digital content onto the real world. Bryan will explain what could be done with the technology, both as a form of entertainment and in day to day life. He then will then present a case for how AR could be developed in a way that makes economic sense to make those dreams into reality.
Bryan Ransil is currently a software engineer at the hand gesture detection startup OnTheGo Platforms. He has worked on many other projects to bring virtual objects into real life including augmented reality on the Kinect and allowing users to create virtual objects through bluetooth-enabled pens. When not pursuing virtual immersion he plays board games and hypothesizes about a wide range of topics.

Like every other industry, educational institutions are adopting mobile devices. What does it look like today, four years after the advent of the iPad? What are the challenges and constraints unique to using mobile devices in educational institutions? How has these devices affected classroom management, instructional strategies and student achievement?
Tonight's "back-to-school" presentation will feature two speakers to share facts and opinions on what works (or not) for mobile devices in education.
To start us off, Thor Prichard will share slides about device adoption data, implementation trends and use case examples before sharing advice about what to do (and not do) when building an app for schools. Following him will be Sean Williams, who will walk through how different devices are used at different grade levels, why Google ChromeBooks have become so popular in education, explain the constraints in education (power, wifi coverage, bandwidth, student data privacy) and give a wish list of what educators wish app developers would build for education.
Come take an in-depth look at the world of iBeacon. Find out what they are, how they work and what other types of Bluetooth Low Energy beacons exist and how they differ from the iBeacon standard.
We'll also talk about security and privacy concerns for businesses and consumers of iBeacon; different use-cases for iBeacon in retail and business; what hardware options are available; and give a high-level overview of iOS and Android facilities for communicating with these devices.

Early in 2008, Critical Path Software was introduced to eBay by its Apple friends. Critical Path was a premier developer with the skills and experience to launch eBay into the initial iTunes AppStore on July 10, 2008.
It was a heady time. The deadline was tight. The team had to fight through issues with the iPhone SDK and integration with eBay servers. It was a grand success. The eBay app went on to be number 3 of all free apps in the first year of the App Store. Contemporary industry-wide mobile ecommerce revenue estimates were vastly exceeded by the eBay app alone. The mobile ecommerce revolution was born.
Fast forward to today. The eBay Mobile products produced here in Portland are responsible for over 30 percent of eBay revenue. Ladd Van Tol and Dan Weston have graciously agreed to discuss their insights into the architecture of these enterprise-class mobile apps. Their discussion will cover the evolution of the product architecture, lessons learned over the past six years, and how to architect state-of-the-art apps in an enterprise environment.
Learn how they went from an under-the-radar consulting project to 35% of Fortune 500 company.

North Korean Refugees Press ConferenceApril 7, 2005Washington, DC
Contact: Alexis Rice or Avital Weinberg202.387.2800
In North Korea today, a totalitarian regime subjects its citizens to unspeakable human rights abuses. We pray for an end to the abuses in North Korea. But until the day that this brutal repression of the North Korean people ends and human rights are respected in that country, bordering nations, especially China, have a special role to play in caring for those seeking refuge.
While we cannot tell from the tape exactly who the people executed really were, what we do know is that those caught trying to flee or those returned by China face the mockery of a judicial system depicted here: the prospect of imprisonment, torture and death.
We come together today to join with this diverse array of religious and human rights organizations to urge the United States to make caring for these refugees a foreign policy priority and to condemn China's refusal to allow the UN High Commissioner on Refugees access to the North Korean refugees seeking haven there. Towards that end, our Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism has joined with the National Association of Evangelicals to disseminate to the entire Congress the painful and alarming recording of the public execution shown here today. We join in sending the attached letter to Congress depicting our common efforts. We know that for the members of Congress, as it has for so many across the globe, this footage will dramatize both North Korea's human rights abuses as well as the consequences of China's treatment of refugees fleeing this oppression.
The UN Convention on Refugees, to which China is a signatory, states that: "No contracting state shall expel or return a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion." Yet China has refused sanctuary for these refugees, continuing to insist despite all evidence to the contrary, that they are economic migrants, not protected by the UNHCR. As the UNHCR is consistently denied access to refugees, China continues to send people back across the border where they and the people facilitating their flight, face the public executions that we bear witness to today.
As Jews, we know well the plight of refugees. In two weeks, we will be observing Passover, remembering both our ancient experience of oppression and the desire and determination of the oppressed to flee to freedom. Throughout the centuries, Jews facing persecution and discrimination were forced to flee from land to land. All too often nations closed their doors to us as we fled oppression, leaving us to the mercies of those whom we were fleeing. Our past experiences make us particularly sensitive to the plight North Koreans face today and makes us particularly troubled by China's response.
The Reform Jewish Movement has expressed concern over China's human rights record in the past when China persecuted religious minorities and we do now when it sends those seeking freedom back to prison, torture or, as the video shows, death.
And so we call on China to protect refugees fleeing the brutal totalitarian regime in North Korea.
We call on all members of Congress to join Senator Brownback and Representative Wolf in voicing concerns about North Korean refugees and making their plight an urgent concern of U.S. policy.
And we call on the United Nations, particularly the UN High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR), to redouble its efforts to address China's illegal refugee roundups.
We call on all those who value human rights and human life to join together today to say, in the words of one of the central songs of the Passover ritual, "Dayenu" – enough. "Dayenu" – there has been enough oppression. Dayenu – there has been enough inhumanity. Dayenu – there has been enough killing. Dayenu – there has been enough silence.
### The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 1800 Reform rabbis.

DULUTH - Last Place on Earth will remain shut down through at least August after a judge's order Friday.
St. Louis County Judge Shawn Floerke sided with the City of Duluth's motion for a temporary restraining order against the head shop.
The city says Last Place Jim Carlson sold synthetics earlier in the month even though he never applied for a city license to do so.
Last Place will remained closed until at least Aug. 19 when a court trail begins on complaints by the city.
City attorney Gunnar Johnson told FOX 21 he is relieved the controversial head shop will be closed through the height of the summer tourism season.

I guess I'm really into this 12 Days thing this year. We are currently have a very fun class at BPS featuring twelve days of inspiration and ideas around the new My Book Planner — and the best news is that the classroom will be open for downloads throughout the month of December (we know you are busy.)
On a personal note, I thought it might be fun to share a cool gift idea each day for the first twelve days of December. So here goes (btw, I have already ordered most of these great presents for someone on my list!)

Comments about JETBOIL SOL Advanced Cooking System:
I have had my Jetboil for about 5 seasons now and still love it. It is the best investment I have ever made in a cooking sustem. It only boils water but if you use dehydrated / freeze dried foods then this is the system for you. It will boil eggs to perfection. If you want to use it to cook actual food then invest in the large pot that is available. I also have the French press kit and I use it all the time when I travel; even in motels.

Comments about JETBOIL SOL Advanced Cooking System:
This stove rocks. I will never have to buy another one again. No priming, no filling a little cup with gas, and no hoping that little, flaming cup of gas doesn't spill over and cause a forest fire. I had a Whisperlite for a long time and finally switched over to Jetboil after watching my friends eat their meals before me.

Great product, def. more durable and versatile that the titanium version, boils 2 cups of water in roughly two min and only uses 5 grams of fuel per use. The only bad thing about these things is that it boils water so quick you have to supervise it while using it, otherwise a great buy

I love this stove. Packs away great. Boils water lickety split. The only issue i have had is the bottom plastic cup is very brittle. I cracked mine inside of a week.

|Ben Nevis in the rain.
Date Climbed: Nov 12, 1960
|In November 1960 as a final gesture before leaving the UK for good, I hitchhiked northward from Oxford. After a tramp in the English Lake District, I found myself at Fort William beyond Glasgow. While my memory of this uphill hike has faded, I remember following a trail in dense fog to Nevis's summit still enveloped in clouds. Lack of any view disappointed me but I felt some satisfaction of having reached the highest point in the British Isles.
I subsequently hitchhiked along Loch Ness to Inverness and on around Scotland to Edinburgh. There on a rainy Sunday morning before the castle, I met a madcap American heiress and had a smashing time riding in her rented Ford around Edinburgh looking for a bar to have a drink, then hurried south to England to find an open pub while carrying a lump of coal to Newcastle. At around midnight, we found the country hotel along Hadrian's Wall. Far more exciting than mountain climbing. Whoopie!

|Started out in mist at 9am from Water of Nevis car park. Mist soon burnt off, and sun shone brightly for the rest of the day. Spectacular weather, one of those rare clear warm days on Ben Nevis. We were happy to find there is a faint track up along the river of Allt Choire Giubhsachan. It fades out on the marshy flats, but re-emerges on the steep sections. Made it to the Col between Carn Mor Dearg and Aonachs at 12:30pm, took our time with lots of long rests in the warm sunshine. there is also a faint track up the Watershead to Cairn Mor Dearg. Took us two hours, and then two hours to Ben Nevis! Totally clear views from summit. It is a great route with spectacular views all the way, and even though it was August we were completely on our own until Cairn Mor Dearg.

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.Marcel Proust
Words do not change their meanings so drastically in the course of centuries as, in our minds, names do in the course of a year or twoMarcel Proust
Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.Marcel Proust

Silence, Please
The lines had started to tangle. I was in danger of winking out, going cold, vanishing.
It was a case of too much. It was a series of scenarios in which I couldn't remember names or small events, manage the pairings of nouns and verbs, or send an email without either losing a word or making one up (we now have revier, instead of river; celebrait instead of celebrate).
"I'd like to make an appointment with, um . . . " I'd say, calling my long-time hair salon. "I'm not sure if I ever actually answered your email, but . . . " became a worn-out phrase. "You know that guy, on that show 'The Voice,' that country singer . . . ," I'd say. Meaning Blake Shelton.

The Gipsy Kings were already busting the charts abroad with their Eurotrash favorite, "Bamboleo," when they first hit the United States in 1988. Standing somewhat stiffly in identical black leather pants and patterned blouses, the six husky, dark-eyed members of two gypsy families from the south of France performed at that summer's New Music Seminar in New York City, after which they took off for clubs and theaters around the nation. Subsequently the infectious flamenco-pop of their self-titled debut album provided the score for the waning years of Bright Lights, Big City yuppiedom, with the record going platinum in the U.S.
The group's rumba rhythms proved ideal for late-night dancing on the tables of trendy restaurants or as an accompaniment to more intimate get-togethers, during which guests would stomp about the kitchen in a sort of camp version of the dinner scene in the movie The Big Chill. The Gipsy Kings followed their wildly successful debut with the single "Volare" (from their second album, Mosa�que), which worked listeners' nostalgia for the Italian classic. Then, like George Michael, Tracy Chapman, and other short-lived superstars of the era, the Gipsy Kings went out of fashion, pretty much disappearing from mainstream radio and the music press.
But just when it seemed as if the brothers Reyes and Baliardo had headed back to their respective caravans in Arles and Montpellier, the Gipsy Kings multiplied. After the release of Mosa�que in 1989, Chico Bouchikhi, the Moroccan brother-in-law of lead singer Nicolas Reyes, left the band and decided to take the name with him. Bouchikhi formed his own group, which he also called the Gipsy Kings (he later changed the name to Chico and the Gipsies). Locally, confusion regarding the name reached its peak a couple of years ago when a duo, who turned out to be distant cousins of some of the Gipsy Kings, called themselves the Gipsies and added the line "Gipsy King Productions" to their advertisements for gigs at the Fontainebleau Hotel and other area venues.
"Gipsy this, Gipsy that, so many of these groups have popped up I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow there was one called the Gipsy Queens," sighs the real Gipsy Kings' manager, Pascal Imbert, who initiated successful lawsuits against Chico Bouchikhi and the other Gipsy Kings imposters to stop them from using the name. "I explained to them that there is room for everyone to play flamenco rock, but there is not room if everyone is going to use the same name. If everyone uses the Gipsy Kings catalogue and plays Gipsy Kings music, nobody's going to last very long.
"It started to get so confusing," continues Imbert, who represents other international musicians, including Fela Kuti and Kassav. "Every time we announce a concert, people want to know if these are the real ones."
Rest assured that the Gipsy Kings who will perform at Bayfront Park Amphitheater on Saturday (September 2) are the genuine article. Lead singer Reyes, lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo, and most of the other original band members remain on-board. One of the Reyes brothers has left to work on a solo album and was replaced by another musician from the Reyes clan, Paul; yet another Reyes relation, Canut, has stepped in for Bouchikhi. The other current Gipsy Kings are brothers Diego and Paco Baliardo, who both play guitar and provide handclapping accompaniment.
The Gipsy Kings' U.S. tour, with stops in Atlantic City and Boston in August, supports the recent release of The Best of the Gipsy Kings on the Nonesuch imprint. A third of the eighteen songs included on the new CD are from the band's first record. The familiar guitar strains of such implausibly named popular tracks as "Bem, Bem, Maria," "Djobi, Djoba," and, of course, "Bamboleo" date back to the time when what is now commonly known as world music was just beginning to provoke widespread interest.
It was Imbert, who in the Eighties worked in the New York offices of the pioneering Paris-based world-beat label, Celluloid, who picked up on the potential of the Gipsy Kings, long before most American record executives had a clue. Back then the group recorded on CBS in France, but as Imbert puts it, "They [CBS] forgot to pick them [the band] up for the U.S. market. I knew they would be great." Imbert had heard "Bamboleo" while in France, persuaded the group to let him represent them, and ultimately shopped around their French album to record companies in New York. According to Imbert, Elektra was one of several major labels that turned him down. But a week later, a vacationing Elektra A&R executive played the tape in his car and couldn't turn it off. He called Imbert from his car phone and offered the Gipsy Kings a deal.
"'Bamboleo' was one of those songs like Los Lobos' 'La Bamba,'" says the manager, attempting to explain why the group's debut was so successful. "Some songs are just catchy, and this song had that momentum." The record sold so well that Rolling Stone later would pronounce the Gipsy Kings "the first world music superstars." While other musicians (such as Paco de Lucia) had appealed to select audiences with purer forms of flamenco fusion, and African artists such as King Sunny Ade had established a hip urban following by the early Eighties, the Gipsy Kings' accessible exoticism was more akin to that of early international music hits in the Sixties A Astrud Gilberto's "The Girl From Ipanema," Miriam Makeba's "Pata Pata," and Mongo Santamaria's "Watermelon Man." While much of the Gipsy Kings' audience was made up of European nightclubbers and partying young professionals, the group was one of the first acts really to cash in on the U.S.'s growing bilingual Hispanic population, one raised listening to both pop and ethnic rhythms.

Well, I'm not finished learning… but I do feel that I'm in the zone of never stop learning. I've always loved learning new things and still have lots to learn but I guess that's how I know I've made it. I'll probably go to University someday even though I'm 33 now. Just finished 5 certificate programs with in the last year. Many of them over lapped so I don't know I could match this in later years but I have learned a lot in the last year… and I'm starting to take topics I've already covered in other courses so I know that I've reached a level of some kind. Taking classes is one way to keep learning new things. I find that taking extension type classes and continuing education classes is a good way to keep learning and you'll probably learn more from your experienced class mate then the teacher… which leads me to say, that one can learn a lot just by listening to friends and family. This might be one what to do and what not to do – If you have reached this level of Never Stop learning. I guess its a state of mind.

My story - Family is a MESS :(
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 02-15-2012 - 11:47pm
I'm nearly 19, I have a 2 and a half year old son, I live with my boyfriend/son's father. We both work full time and I think we do really well with supporting ourselves! We've worked very hard to get where we are today, and we still work hard. It's a constant struggle and what happens is childcare is too expensive. We can't pay hundreds every week to have someone watch him so my family is burdened with this. Instead of trying to see it as a good thing like yay you get some with your grandchild, I get to hear how irresponsible I am and how I've messed up our family and added so much stress and such a burden.
I admit I'm not perfect. After my son was born I did act irresponsibly more than I like to admit. I did dump him on family a lot in that first year especially. I just didn't know what I was doing and I was in denial. I got some counseling and outside help and it really helped me a lot. I've taken responsibility for my life and for my son. I rush to my grandma's after work to pick my son up, I rarely ever ask any family to watch him when I'm not working even when I very badly would love some peace and time alone or with my boyfriend. I don't ask for that except on special occasions any more. I leave him with them as little as possible. I can't help that we have to work to live.

Running as a live CD will not touch your Windows install. Assuming your wireless card is supported, drivers would be part of the live environment, just like other software. It is possible to "install" software in a live environment, but changes are not usually persistent across reboots. Some live CDs or live USBs have a "persistent" option that will save changes, usually as a file(s) on the USB drive or harddrive.

Packing for a leisure trip is always a bit of trouble, isn't it? Unless you have a rigid itinerary, it's hard to know exactly what to bring and what to leave behind. I have fully embraced DaniBP's "color story" philosophy for packing, but even with the simplicity that offers, there's still margin for error.
And, for me, that error has most often been manifest in my shoe choices. This time, I got it right for both comfort and style. At least, I think I did. Steadfastly refusing to wear athletic shoes for non-athletic pursuits, I packed a pair of Tom's espadrille-type shoes in a neutral color, a snappy navy-and-white striped pair of espadrilles, and a pair of pointed toe flats, just in case. In case of what, I'm not sure. At any rate, they looked cute and were good for a couple of miles of walking. And to see Charleston, one must walk. And walk.At times, you will walk on brick, as seen here on Church Street. Later, you may find yourself walking on slate near the Battery. The slate can be uneven.Old brick is practically guaranteed to trip you up if you're wearing kitten heels or, heaven forbid, stilettos! The oldest manmade surface looks beautiful, with its multi-colored stones and time-worn texture, but cobblestones are tough on the feet.
So, if you're planning a trip to Charleston, take my advice and pack several pairs of comfortable shoes. My secret tip, perfected in New York, is to switch heel heights throughout the day. I may start the day in a low heel, then, after several hours of walking, change to a flat, and then back to the low heel. I am convinced that this helps to alleviate some of the stress put on joints by hours of walking on hard surfaces. And, as we all know, comfortable feet open the gateway to happiness. Or something like that.
And speaking of gates, here are some of my favorite Charleston examples.
The Mister and I loved this Scottish admonition, found below a gate on one the Peninsula's side streets. Can you figure it out? It's quite clever, I think, and I'd love to replicate it for a garden gate. Boxwoods and creeping vines adorn many of the city's wrought iron gates. Our innkeeper, who was born and raised in Charleston, told us that she wanted to print a bumper sticker that states, Real Charlestonians don't have Topiaries. Too funny. I loved this gate, although I would have to paint that door, if it were my house.These gates welcome worshippers to the First Baptist Church of Charleston, a congregation that was formed in Kittery, Maine in 1682 and moved to the Holy City in 1696. The current sanctuary was designed by architect Robert Mills and was built in 1822.I loved the monograms, left over from a Saturday wedding, and I plan to borrow this idea when the time comes for Big, Middle or Little to tie the knot. Hydrangeas, ferns, ivies, and boxwoods form the backbone of many Charleston gardens, softening the structures and offering welcoming pockets of green throughout the city. This gate opened up to a wide yard, an uncommon feature for a downtown Charleston house. Of course, it's painted the ubiquitous color known as Charleston Green. The legend goes that following the Civil War, or the Late Unpleasantness, if you prefer, that the federal government sent gallons of paint for Charlestonians to use to spruce up their devastated hometown. Supposedly, the paint was all black, and Charlestonians bucked at using the so-called Yankee paint. So they added yellow to create "Charleston Green." Depending on the source, the recipe is either nine or 10 parts black to one part yellow for a true Charleston Green. Of course, nowadays Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams have their own formulas. Either way, it's an awfully good color against the red brick and white frame houses found in the city.More ferns, azaleas and myrtle fill this charming garden, and look at all that velvety moss. I love this classic gate, opening to a narrow garden shared by neighbors. So elegant.
Not so elegant, my feet. Remember, pack comfortable shoes, but don't forget the Band-Aids.
And now, for the riddle of the gate,
Be Ye Man or Be Ye Woman,
Be Ye Sune (Soon) or Be Ye Late,
Be Ye Guan (Going) or Be Ye Cumin (Coming),
Be Ye Sure to Shut This Gate.
But you figured that out already, right?

You all remember cybersquatting, a popular sport in the late 90s, right?
McDonalds.com, JenniferLopez.com, Hertz.com and Avon.com thankfully all point to the right web sites today, but thaiairline.com, mcdonald.com, luftansa.com, gugle.com, barnesandnobles.com and other misspellings are fake web sites intended to trap the casual surfer with a hand that's a bit too much quicker than the eye.
These web site traps are successful because web sites are so easy to remember, people don't bother bookmarking them. It used to be that if you wanted to know the weather in Minnesota you had to go to http://www.geocities.com/Athens/rubytuesday71/weatherinminnesota281007.html . Today you go to weather.com (or type "weather for Minnesota" in google) and get an immediate response.
If you want to go to the McDonalds web site, you don't even spend the 10 seconds to look it up – you will type McDonalds.com and expect to see the latest dollar meal menu.
But the same is true for the other popular form of communication – email. If I know the person's name and company (or free email system) I will generally just type it up rather than look it up on my address book.
Of course, back in the hotmail days when John was firstname.lastname@example.com I couldn't rely on my memory alone. But today, if your name isn't John Smith, it's probably not too difficult to get a decent first name/last name combination on gmail, yahoo or some other free mail system, and certainly on your corporate email system.
So will we start seeing cyber-squatting on email addresses? Maybe we already do. There is no real way to know who's behind a certain email address and while it's merely funny if a guy names Roo Taylor gets the email firstname.lastname@example.com, it could actually be dangerous if some bad guy owns email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, etc. Imagine how much legitimate mail is accidentally sent to those accounts by people who send the latest budget figures to their boss at work and also CC his personal address so he can watch it from his home machine too.
I have first-hand experience of this 'attack'. Luckily for me I've got the login to firstname.lastname@example.com (piece of cake. All you need is to have a "google-in-law". For me it was as simple as my office neighbor's wife having a cousin that works for google. Then they sign you up for a new experimental beta google product called "google mail" and you get not only to pick your first name as login, but send invites to a bunch of envying friends). As gmail becomes more popular I'm receiving invitation to birthday parties of people I don't know, detailed minutes of brainstorming meetings I've never been to and last week a bunch of emails with the list of hospital equipment and inventory, all sent to some other 'aviram'. I can't imagine what would have happened if my first name was more common. I'm also pretty sure it's still possible to register gmail accounts with common misspellings and dig out some of the emails that come out.
At the very least, this would give the bad guys get a fresh harvest of active email addresses. But if they're lucky, they may receive an email that carries a personal story that can be exploited further. Think about a young guy sending his parents pictures from an Internet cafe about his Africa safari trip. A simple typo sends the email to our bad guy who then forges a follow-up email to the parents telling them his wallet was stolen and that they need to wire money to help their stranded son.
Cybersquatting is easy to identify and is usually settled in court. With "email-squatting" I don't see a clear and obvious solution; in the meanwhile, be sure to only use your address book…
