Exclusive: To say filmmaker Michael Rapaport hasn't had an easy time in the press with his new documentary "Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest" is a bit of an understatement, but don't get it twisted. Since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, reviews about the seminal '90s hip-hop group -- which included members Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Jarobi White, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad -- have been glowing (it has an excellent 95% RT score). But like most longtime fans of the group, after they suddenly called it quits in 1998, actor and hip hop music aficionado Michael Rapaport was deeply affected by their spli...Read More »

Director Says Hip-Hop Group's Relationship Is Complicated Both Off And On The ScreenIf you're one of the lucky few that has seen the hip-hop documentary "Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest," perhaps at either the Sundance or Tribeca film festivals, you know the film is a knock-...Read More »
Captivating, well-balanced and at times, painfully honest, actor Michael Rapaport's directorial debut, the documentary, "Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest" is much more than a music doc about the seminal '90s hip-hop group; it's an engrossing and moving portrait of brotherhoo...Read More »
It's hard to quantify just how important A Tribe Called Quest is to hip-hop music, but the group stood apart from the harder edged gangsta rap of their contemporaries. The group were a singular act among their peers and, more anecdotally, if you need to liven up a party, "Can I Kick It?" is guarante...Read More »

Nolan N103
By Shotglass930
from Lansing, MI
Comments about Nolan N103 N-Com Solid Modular Helmet:
Excellent Excellent Excellent!My wife and I both bought N103's this spring to start the new riding season. We love them. It took maybe 2 weeks with little riding to break my in, a little longer for the wife (less time wearing it).In May we took a three week, 5,500 mile trip and we were both so glad we had the new helmets. The anti-for shield was prefect. More than once we got caught in the rain and cold temps - NO FOGGING - I could see without a problem.The vents work well, it was easy to adjust to the latches, and for those that wear glasses, the built in sun shade is awesome!
Service and delivery comments:
Easy of using the website, wide range of products, discounts, price matching.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nolan N103 N-Com
By Marc

See all my reviews
I ordered this helmet on Monday, it was on the door step on Wed. You can't get any better than that! I installed my Motocomm mic and speakers in the helmet that day and took off next morning on a 7½ run into eastern OR. 920 miles over the weekend and I'm thrilled with the fit and comfort of this helmet. The Nolan is much quieter than the HJC IS-Max-BT I've been using for the last few months. though not as quiet as a full face solid, but I need to be able to open the front. The N103 will definately be my primary helmet as I can't find anything wrong with it. The HJC will be reswerved for my back seat pax.

Pain can come in many forms, and Simple Cure Massage Therapy's single remedy works to address them all. The massage clinic's skilled therapists help adults, seniors, and even children to find relief from pain due to physical injury, overworked muscles, or stress from feuding with imaginary best friends. The massage therapists customize each treatment to accommodate clients' rehabilitation goals and problem areas, and they use massage techniques including lava stones, trigger-point therapy, and deep, targeted kneads. The clinic's staff also holds sessions where clients can learn relaxation techniques that they can self-administer, including stretching, hot and cold therapy, and self-hugging.
Along with a wide variety of massage techniques, Simple Cure Massage Therapy offers many customized skincare treatments. Technicians carefully analyze clients' skin in order to create an effective skin treatment, customized to a client's individual needs. Facials address a multitude of issues including acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. After skin has been pampered, technicians can also remove unwanted hair from the face.
Fuchsia lives up to its incandescent name: its hot-pink walls vibrate under shimmering chandeliers. The pink ceiling curves and cuts away to expose industrial chrome pipes reflecting the script of a neon fuchsia Fuchsia sign. Profiled by ABC's The Revolution, Good Morning Arizona, and magazines such as Everyday with Rachael Ray, the spa pampers its guests so thoroughly, it's earned a spot on Gayot's list of Top 10 Value Spas in the world.
Visitors call in or make online appointments to be bundled in body wraps, receive custom facials, or spruce up their nails. Massages take place in private suites where customers can tune into their own iPods, and hair-removal services prep parties for windstorms in velcro factories. The spa also contains a blow-dry bar, a makeup-artistry station, and shelves and racks of boutique apparel, accessories, and skincare products.
A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new-spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
Though she started her career in a traditional medical practice, Dr. Christine Brass-Jones believes that health is about more than prescriptions and pills. Her current practice at The Center for True Harmony Wellness and Medicine takes into account holistic remedies that factor in the health of the patient's body and mind no matter what ailment is being treated. An experienced staff of doctors and massage therapists offers services to promote a lifetime of wellness, such as women's health, family medicine, and massages. As they treat maladies, perform checkups, and test trivia retention, Dr. Brass-Jones and her associates offer naturopathic remedies for ailments when possible. The variety of treatments the clinic offers includes traditional Western massages as well as Eastern approaches such as reiki, pain-relieving cupping, and facials with Rhonda Allison products.
Vitality Medical's staff of Doctors and Nurse Practitioners help to reveal shapely figures with weight-loss programs and body-contouring treatments. Specialists listen with an understanding ear as they steer patients onto the proper treatment path, answer questions, and keep tabs on their progress. As the med spa's marquee treatment, the HCG weight-loss program revolves around injections of an all-natural fat-burning solution that seeks to fire up the metabolism, combating unwanted adipose with a combination of vitamins and microscopic trebuchets. Vein therapy, VelaShape body contouring, and laser hair-removal treatments perfect the skin that covered former curves as Botox and FotoFacial treatments forge more youthful complexions.
Both of The Healing Arts Day Spa?s two locations enhance the transporting effects of their services with decor that evokes a Tuscan-style villa. Vines crawl across shelves and along the backs of chairs, walls are painted to resemble lightly weathered stucco, and stone tiles create the feel of an airy courtyard. In softly lit rooms, the hands of licensed massage therapists and aestheticians deliver relaxation through massage, body wraps, and skin and hair treatments. Customers can even learn to pamper themselves: owner Terrell Lynn teaches a course in couples? massage that helps forge closer bonds between spouses or strangers on a long bus ride.

For the key facts on keeping your children safe, read our child car seat safety tips…
It's a legal requirement that all children under 12 years old or 135cms tall have the correct child car seat. Apart from the safety risks of not having the right seat, you could also be issued with a fixed penalty notice.
Most modern cars have airbags to protect adult passengers, but airbags can be fatal to children in safety seats. Never use a rear-facing child seat in a seat with an active airbag. If possible, place the child safety seat in the back of the car.
Do some research before you buy your child's car seat and think about how you'll use it. If you'll be taking the seat out of the car regularly look for a lightweight one. Most importantly make sure it fits your car and your child. Ideally try before you buy as many retailers will not accept returns.
Second-hand car seats are not recommended unless you're certain of their history. The child seat may have been weakened in an accident, might not meet the current UN ECE 44.03 safety standards, or could be incomplete or missing fitting instructions.
Car seats are grouped according to the weight of your child.Group 0 and 0+ car seats are for birth up to 13kg and Group I car seats are for children who weigh 9-18kg. Use a group II or III booster seat for children between 15-36kg.
Your baby's first car seat will be rear-facing which is safer and provides the best protection. It's best to use this seat for as long as possible and only change to a new car seat when your baby reaches the maximum weight or their head is higher than the top of the seat.
Don't forget to adjust and fasten the harness each time your child gets in it to their car seat. Clip the buckle closed and tighten the straps to ensure a snug fit.
If you have a relatively new car it may be fitted with IsoFix mounting points. This allows a compatible car seat to be easily and securely mounted without having to use a seat belt to secure it.
Before going on a journey with your new car seat check you know how to fit it correctly. Test that it's fitted securely and that the seatbelt is taut. Keep the instructions in the car and take a few minutes extra each time you go anywhere in your car to check that your child's safety seat is securely fitted.
Focus on the road ahead and try not to get distracted by what your children are up to. Fit a baby view mirror so you can keep them in your sight without your eyes leaving the road.
Be the first to know about new RAC products and special offers.

Tank champions would include Malphite, Cho'Gath, Shen, Amumu, Alistar, Blitzcrank and Garen. They're dmg output isn't too amazing if you build tank with them. If you want bruisers (a mix between dmg and health/armor, strong melee fighters) you could grab Lee Sin, Olaf, Volibear can be built a tank or a bruiser, Jax is a good one. Jarvan IV is a tank but can do some dmg if you build him properly.
For first time tanks, I'd go with Shen, Garen or Malphite.
For first time bruisers, Id go with Olaf, Darius or Pantheon.
There are obviously more champions to choose from, I just feel however that these are among the easier to learn at first. Now don't mistake easy for suck.

Bump up^^
My go to champ when I was lower levels was Master Yi...
You build him atk speed and crit/dmg, and you carry the whole game. When I want a quick win, I pick yi.
you can build him AP as well but that's more on the trolling side because you can alpha strike under their turret and just w...
I also recommend getting vayne. her true damage is SO OP! you build her just like Yi.
Alistar is a great tank champ and can support pretty well imo. He's got great CC for when your in team fights. He's also banned so much in draft games.
Garen is a great tank too! There's a joke where you never face check a bush with garen haha.
He is built as a tank because his passive. he also doesn't use mana!!

Create a conversation space in your living room. Living spaces are often designed around the TV, which essentially makes your set the room's focus. Instead, face your sofa and chairs toward one another with the coffee table in between. Not only does it look sophisticated, but it also makes your space conducive to entertaining.

Populate your space with patterns. Different patterns are a huge part of a successfully chic space, and they're simple to incorporate. Liven up your couch with a variety of throw pillows or toss down a rug with a colorful graphic. Displaying coffee table books with bright covers is another way to easily pull in pattern variety.

Break some rules about hanging art. Instead of carefully ensuring that each piece is perfectly in line with the next, create a more free-form, eclectic gallery wall that's balanced more by your eye than by rigid rules. It feels much more personal and interesting.

Incorporate an accent chair. An accent chair in a different color or fabric brings a pop of personality to your space. Reupholster your favorite chair in a brand-new fabric for utmost comfort and style.
Consider gray for your walls. Gray has been a hot color for several seasons now, and it's not going away soon. As a neutral, it's incredibly versatile, and it gives an air of sophistication to practically any type of furnishing. Plus, there is just something about the way color and pattern stand out against this shade that really makes gray rooms feel fantastic.
How to Pick the Right Gray Paint
How to Pick the Right Gray Paint
Go with grasscloth wallpaper. Want to take your walls beyond paint? Introduce understated elegance and serious texture with grasscloth wallpaper. Since grasscloth is more difficult to hang than typical wallpaper, you may want to hire a professional. It's worth the added effort if you want to cozy up in a space as warm as it is refined.
Jazz up the back of your shelving. Often overlooked, the space behind your shelves offers a wonderful design opportunity. Paint it a contrasting color or take it a step further with graphic wallpaper. You'll love the view while relaxing on the couch with a great read.
Consider a luxe upholstery fabric for your sofa. Who said a sofa can't be both comfortable and luxurious? When you upholster it in a material such as velvet, it becomes both a stylish sight for the eyes and a soft, relaxing spot for a restful evening.
Incorporate an animal print. Whether it's via a footstool, throw pillow or rug, a touch of animal print gives your space a dramatic look and an eclectic edge.
Give your animal print a contemporary spin by choosing an unexpected colorway. This practical bench just became a very chic spot to tie your shoes.
Place pieces with mirrored surfaces. These introduce instant glamour to any space, whether the piece is a side table, a coffee table or a dining room console. Plus, mirrored surfaces help smaller spaces feel more expansive.
Think a nursery can't be cozy and chic? It sure can with a mirrored chest of drawers that doubles as a changing table.
Keep something unfinished. There is something very urbane about unfinished surfaces, like this fireplace surround. Try leaving your moldings untouched or introducing a rustic coffee table to your setup. Regardless, the mix of a comfy sofa with natural touches creates an eclectic, inviting space.
Consider Lucite chairs. Swap out your everyday dining chairs for a sleek Lucite set. Lucite chairs are stylish and practical: A spill can be easily wiped off. Mix and match them with a banquette to make the look even more appealing.
Hang a chandelier in an unexpected place. Every room needs lighting. Why not introduce it in a surprising way? Hang a chandelier over your coffee table or use one as a bedside light. Your cozy space will instantly go glam.

Monarchs massacre sagging Worcester Sharks
MANCHESTER, N.H. It wasn't back to Square One for the Sharks last night. It was more like back to Square Minus One.
Worcester followed up its first victory of the season with another performance that was indescribably bad. The Sharks were beaten by the Manchester Monarchs, 5-1, to fall to 1-4-1 for the season.
The year is rapidly turning into a mess. Teams can play one good game every two weeks and play at least .500 in the National Football League, but that doesn't work so well over the 76-game schedule of the AHL.
"You know, that's a heck of a hockey team over there," coach Roy Sommer said of the Monarchs. "They've got goaltending, veteran defense and some guys who played for the Stanley Cup last year. At times, they just toyed with us."
That might have been the worst of it for the Sharks. They lost, 5-1, and it wasn't really that close.
The only Shark to beat Martin Jones was Sebastian Stalberg, getting his fourth of the season. David Kolomatis, Brandon Kozun, Marc-Andre Cliché, Andy Andreoff and Slava Voynov had the goals for Manchester.
The Monarchs chased starting goalie Harri Sateri, who may need some time in the ECHL to hit his personal "reset" button. Sateri is 0-2-1 so far this season and is 4-14-2 in his last 21 appearances going back to last year.
Al Stalock took over for Sateri when it was 3-0 and was not involved in the decision, but said, "We're giving the other team too many chances, with too many turnovers. And it's us goalies, too — rebounds, handling the puck. It's like in baseball, if you give the other team an extra out every inning, it'll cost you."
The kind of night it was for Worcester was emphasized by something that happened late in the second period with the Sharks down, 4-0. James Sheppard simply swiped the stick away from Manchester's Tanner Pearson and took it to the Sharks' bench with him, Pearson trailing.
When referee Chris Brown called the penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct, Sheppard showed him the stick as if to say, "See? He was hooking me."
Asked about it after the game, Sheppard just shook his head a little and replied, "I'd rather not comment — sorry."
The rout began early as once again the Sharks gave up a goal in the first half of the first period.
Kolomaitis got it, snapping a 50-foot wrist shot over Sateri's blocker with the Monarchs on a power play. Kozun made it 2-0 at 17:14, banking one in off Sateri after he had made an excellent save on Dwight King.
A 2-0 deficit wasn't ideal, but it seemed manageable as Worcester headed into the second period. But Cliché made it 3-0 just 16 seconds in with a snap shot off the crossbar and in from the right circle.
That made it three goals on 10 shots for Sateri, so Stalock came in, then Cliché went off for high-sticking 8 seconds after his goal.
Instead of using that power play to get back in the game, Worcester fell into an even deeper hole as Voynov followed up a two-on-one break with a short-handed goal at 2:19, making it 4-0.
Andreoff got the Monarchs' fifth goal at 10:05, then the Sharks finally got one past Jones in the final minute of the period to end his shutout bid. Stalberg popped in a rebound after a rush by Sheppard.
"You'll see some different bodies in the lineup (today)," Sommer said. "These guys had a chance to show what they can do, so we'll give some other guys a chance now."
Seems like it can only get better — maybe.

Heating costs 3 times what needy can pay

HARTFORD — The gap between heating needs and what struggling households can afford to pay for home heating has more than tripled to almost $700 million in the seven years Operation Fuel has been tracking it.
"The gap is not closing. In all the years since we have done the study, the gap has continued to widen," said Patrice Wrice, executive director of Operation Fuel.

Borderless World
The World has seen evolutions from the start. The birth of Earth itself was an evolution. Starting from the Stone Age, now civilization, the world has been through different evolutions. It's not wrong to stay that now the world is going to another era, the age of "Technology". Yes we are living in an age of information technology. Technology has made us connect, develop and respond. Technology for me is breathing in a world with no Borders. The World was given to us to connect and live peacefully but we made borders and divided ourselves in classes. But technology has given us the power to change that and make a whole new world with no borders. It is stronger than the real world. The first time I saw a computer I was not allowed to touch it because of the thought that I will probably damage it. I stayed determined and learnt computer use by just observing my elders when they used it. Today though I'm not a computer expert, I can connect anywhere in the world I want. The passion for advocacy in my heart got its pulse because of internet. Internet is the best outcome of technology.
I have used technology not only to connect but to educate myself with knowledge which was never taught in textbooks. It has open my mind and made me able to accept the challenges without any fear. I live online, I breathe online and I will die online. This statement might seem tricky but it's true. The concepts of migration have even evolved after the great migration from orkut to Facebook and now twitter. We have started living online and it will be a mistake not to empower yourself enough to easily breathe in this online world. It is said that diamonds are girl's best friend but for me it is "Technology is girl's best friend". If a single tweet can bring revolution in Egypt then collective efforst to bring peace and end hate speech through internet will result in a peaceful world of flowers.
The best gift given by internet is web 2.0. As it is said that "Television is a threat to democracy" I would say that web 2.0 is a savior of democracy. It has empowered people like me, at the grassroots level to let our voices be heard at the international level. In 2009 I decided to use this amazing gift of the internet, web 2.0. I wanted to use it to raise my voice on the topics which were ignored by the mainstream media because they were suppressed by the monopolies and conglomerates. I decided to digitally empower women of Pakistan and my journey got successful after I reached different communities and taught girls the art of photography and digital storytelling. In 2013 I got selected as a Voices of Our Future correspondent by World Pulse. It was the best moment of my life. Finally after years of establishing my writing skills I got a great opportunity to learn as well as to write for betterment. I remember once my mother asked me: why do you blog for women empowerment and feminism as mostly people in Pakistan are computer illiterate. I replied my purpose is not only to attract more people to read my blog but to actually change the mind of people and make them believe in feminism. Even if one person after reading my blogs starts believing in feminism, the purpose of my life will be served. As humans we are born equal but when we are not treated equal it is not our fault. However, not to raise our voice against inequalities is certainly our mistake. Today I see girls sitting in the most rural areas of my country using cellphone and becoming citizen journalists and human rights activists. This is what technology has given to me, a voice which makes me believes in equality and harmony and the journey continues.

This is a good product, if exactly what we needed The price was very good and delivery on time.
This vacuum is everything it's described to be. The push button auto rewind power cable is awesome. It has plenty of power for my 2 bedroom, the attachments are easy to although, a bit clumsy, but I write that off to being a guy using a vacuum.
I always used a Hoover upright, but gave it to my grandaughter for her apartment and ordered this one for myself. My dog sheds and I vacuum every day in the family room where she stays, so I thought a new vac would help keep up with the dog hair. I wish I had my old Hoover back! The suction in the new one isn't as good as the old one and because of the filter, you must clean it after every use. Yuck!
I hate this vacuum...It is hard to push....used it once and there is dust ALL OVER IT! makes you wonder if it's sucking or blowing...will find out about that. I would say BLOWING! want to return it if I can put it back in the box....that alone is a major undertaking! add to that....it came all the way from Utah??? to Houston??? not one a little closer than that??? hmmmm... will return this one!
This Bissell Upright Vacuum is a Great little vacuum ! Has good suction and is easy to maneuver around furniture and tight places. My carpet looks clean & restored back to its "new carpet look" in no time ! Thanks Bissell for once again providing an excellent quality product ! Thanks Overstock for the Excellent price !
It vacuums very well on carpets. I'm surprised by all the dirt and dust it sucks up. Love it!
I purchased mine 8-13-13,two days ago,it started making a loud noise,I had my husband look at it,and he said a piece broke off the brush\brushplate.It is not useable,i called the company,and all they can do is give me the adress of a repair shop,the warranty is for 3 years,but there is no model number on mine,and i have no recipt for proof of purchase because I brought it thru the internet.I do not feel it is right to have to pay for repair myself.I really hate loising it,I used everyday,and love it's features.

Dell 3130CN review
By Melissa Riofrio | Published: 12:07, 28 January 2009
The tall, broad Dell 3130CN is as powerful as it looks. In our tests, plain-text pages burst out at a rate of 25.3 pages per minute (ppm), one of the faster times we've seen. Its tested graphics speed of 5.7ppm is extremely fast. The speed isn't the only thing that impressed us, though: text looks crisp and black, and photos appeared realistic even on plain paper.
With so much available power, we were surprised that Dell 3130CN omitted a duplexer from the unit's standard configuration; this would let you save on paper, and - with the 3130cn's power - you would barely notice the speed hit. Dell sells an optional duplexer, but a duplexer comes standard on two laser printers that cost far less than the 3130cn: Lexmark's C543dn and Konica Minolta's magicolour 2530DL.
The Dell 3130CN's otherwise generous configuration starts with 250-sheet input and output trays and a roomy, 150-sheet multipurpose tray. An optional, 550-sheet second input tray expands capacity significantly.
Strategically placed decals and coloured markings make it easy to figure out common tasks such as loading paper and changing toner on the fly. A two-line, monochrome LCD with navigational buttons adjacent makes the Dell 3130CN's menus easily accessible.
Our only real peeve is with the Dell 3130CN's front panel. Well, actually there are two peeves in this area of the design: on the harmless side, anyone who wants to open that panel could easily unfold the multipurpose tray by mistake, because its pull-down handle is right on the front.
The harder-to-find side button, which opens the entire front panel of the Dell 3130CN to reveal the toner cartridges, also exposes the transfer belt; We're just waiting for some butterfingers to drop a toner cartridge right on this delicate piece.
The Dell 3130CN's toner costs reflect the greater savings you get with higher-capacity toner cartridges. The machine ships with standard-size supplies: a 4000-page black (K) cartridge, and 3000-page cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y) cartridges.
The high-yield versions (all 9000 pages) offer true savings: black costs £90, while each colour costs £131, resulting in a much reduced four-colour page cost.

3 Buys in This Year's Renewable Energy Rally
This year's gains in Renewable Energy Group (REGI) have been nothing short of stellar, with the stock rising by more than 147%. But this is just another market example of a company that has been largely undervalued, rather than one that is posting an over-extended run. In fact, the growth assets scheduled to come online suggest the company remains undervalued despite that run higher.
In 2012, the company achieved $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time and could soon be seen producing as much as 25% of the total supply in U.S. biodiesel markets. Annual capacity levels are currently seen at nearly 250 million gallons, but ongoing construction projects will soon bring these volumes near the 400 million gallon mark. The latest rally in REGI has been massive, but any downside retracements from here should be viewed as a new opportunity to buy given this positioning.
Next, we look at SunPower (SPWR), which is set to add to its growth in residential markets. Solar energy stocks have seen some well-documented volatility in the last few years, but there are reasons to believe most of the carnage is behind us. SunPower's panel efficiency is expected to reach an industry-leading 23% by 2015, along with a 35% reduction in power generation costs.
SunPower has seen an even more impressive, momentum-fueled rally (of more than 290%), but we are still well-below the 2007 highs and the company is positioned to assume a commanding position in the sector for years to come.Last, we look at a less conventional clean energy choice in Valero (VLO), which is now the third-largest producer of ethanol in the U.S. Known more for its production in traditional refineries, recent acquisitions in bio-refineries set the company on a path to enter into new markets (key progress has already been made in wind and algae farms). Transitions of this nature cannot be made overnight, but for investors looking for large-cap exposure to the renewable energy space, recent changes at Valero present an interesting alternative. Furthermore, Valero works better as a contrarian play, after its large drop-off in the second quarter put its year-to-date gains just above 4%. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned. This article was written by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

Left out of family get-together by sibling
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 08-02-2012 - 3:53pm
Some quick advice is requested and would be appreciated! I recently found out via Facebook that a family relative came into town last month, and met up with my sister and BIL for dinner. This relative had never been to our area before, and it was someone I had not seen in about eight years.
I found out when perusing Facebook about this. The relative had posted prior to the visit on my sister's FB page. Although I have FB, I only log in about 3-4 times a year, and although my sister knows this, she never contacted me about attending the dinner. And she did this despite knowing several weeks in advance that the relative would be coming into town.
A few days after I heard about this, I purposely let it slip to our mother that I had seen the post on her FB page. Although my mom "promised" not to say anything to my sister, I'm sure she did...which is what I intended anyway. The post has since been removed from her FB page, and she is not in the habit of removing anything from her FB. Of course, I have the screenshot of the post/replies saved already.
I'm sure some of the advice I receive will be to ask my sister why I (and my wife) were not invited to the dinner. The problem is that people rarely tell the truth when you ask them hard questions. My sister and I "get along" to the extent that we see each other at birthdays and Xmas, but that's the extent of our relationship. We get along when we see each other, but don't really stay in touch too often otherwise.
However, that is not an excuse on her part. If a relative were coming into town and contacted me, I would certainly have let my sister know, and not assume she saw the posting on FB. (I'm sick of people inviting folks to things on FB, by the way...not everyone is addicted to FB!)
Another problem with asking my sister is that she has the tendency to tell lies, especially when confronted. She could say she didn't think I was interested (which is not for her to decide), or that she assumed I saw the post on FB (which she knows I almost never use). The other possibilities are that she didn't think about letting me know (which is pretty hurtful) or she didn't want to invite us at all, which I sense is the real reason.
In any case, barring a direct confrontation which I know will lead to me being called "too sensitive", what else is a good course of action? I have considered ending our participation in family dinners altogether...why be around someone if they're only pretending to like you anyway?
|Thu, 08-02-2012 - 11:08pm
|Fri, 08-03-2012 - 9:41am
Thanks for the responses! Yes, at first I did wonder why the relative didn't get in touch with me as well. When I looked back at the Facebook messages, I did see that the original post she made on my sister's wall was shared (by the relative) with everyone in my sister's Friends list. The fact is, if I had checked my FB I would have seen it because she had shared it...this is the problem with people primarily communicating through FB, though...they think everyone else uses it just like they do.
Her original post mentioned that they had spoken over the phone about the upcoming trip prior to the FB post. That's why I feel my sister should have mentioned it to me, since this wasn't a last minute thing and she knows I hardly ever use FB. And I know there won't be a "next time" this relative ever comes into town...she lives on the other coast and has never come here before in 40+ years. I could actually understand being left out if she came here frequently.

|Fri, 08-03-2012 - 3:30pm
Sorry that happened to you. What is your plan now?
|Fri, 08-03-2012 - 4:57pm
That seems to be a pretty disfunctional family all around - instead of getting in touch with you directly, this relative called your sister to inquire about you; and instead of telling your sister you are upset with her, you "used" your mother to tell her.
If you are indeed close to this particular relative, why aren't you two communicating (directly)? I don't use facebook at all, but I keep in touch with my family and friends all over the world via written letters, emails, and phone calls. And normally if people really want to see each other, they will find a way to get hold of each other intead of asking a third party. What you described sounds rather odd.
|Sat, 08-04-2012 - 4:15pm
I get the part about the out of town relative contacting one family member, likely the one that they are closest to or that they think talks to everybody. That's pretty much the way they do it in my dh's large family. Most of the family members do talk to each other so the word gets around eventually. The system usually works fine unless, like in this case, someone lies about having passed on the word. What's interesting is that the sister didn't tell the mom or any other family about the meeting...or the mom didn't pass it on to the OP.
He could talk to his sister and tell her that he didn't like what she did, lying to the relative and excluding him, but there's not much point since he knows that she doesn't care. The best thing is to tell people to please bypass the sister in the future and contact him directly.
OP, maybe you should change your FB settings so you will receive an email notification when something is shared on your wall. Then you'll know to check FB and see what's happening. The fact is that nowadays many people (including some of your relatives) use FB for these type of communications and if you want to be kept in the loop then you need to get in the loop.
|Sat, 08-04-2012 - 6:28pm
I was wondering the same thing as ukgirl. The relative is the one who came to your town, so it would be up to them to contact the people they wanted to visit with while in town. It doesn't seem that you keep in touch with your relatives much, so perhaps the visiting relative returned the favor.
I think you're barking up the wrong tree blaming your sister.
|Sat, 08-04-2012 - 7:17pm
<< I think you're barking up the wrong tree blaming your sister. >>
His sister outright lied to the relative.
Do you think that ok?
|Sun, 08-05-2012 - 4:53am
No, I don't think lying is OK, but I think it's odd that the OP was so interested in seeing a relative they don't have personal contact with. I also find it odd that apparently Mom didn't see the relatives either when they were in town. It seems to me the relative could easily be blaming the sister because they didn't want to tell the OP outright that they weren't interested in visiting with any family members other than sister.
When I go to my hometown, I contact the people I want to see myself. I let them know I'm coming and ask if there's a time we could get together and/or I call them when I get there to be sure they know I'm there and would like to see them. I don't leave it to somebody else.
Of course, now the OP can take the relative's word against his sister and use it as a reason to say she's full of XXXX. If the OP is interested in visiting with relatives, and out-of-town relatives go through sis to make plans for their visits, the OP might consider trying to build a closer relationship with his sister in order to be kept in the family loop, getting on FB (which I hate myself) to keep up with the family news since that's how his family communicates, keeping in more frequent contact with relatives he wants to be closer to, etc. He might actually speak directly with his sister instead of going through mom pretending he doesn't want mom to say anything to sister but knowing she will which is a dishonest way to handle the situation.
|Sun, 08-05-2012 - 8:34am
It is very normal & a positive experience for us as the normal process is for the person hosting the meal/event for the one visiting to send out notes inviting everyone. You go if you can't & if not, then you either set up a personal visit or see them next time.
In this case, the sister didn't want to include her brother & lied. He isn't in the wrong here nor the relative as neither knew the sister had lied.

We have been using Xcode 4 and LLVM 2.0 for a couple of months now and after finishing a huge update to our application we thought we would send it off to Apple.
What we couldn't imagine however, was that although the program was able to be built for both the simulator and devices, when it came to archiving, XCode just threw a nasty linking error and left us hanging there.
The error is related to the ZipKit library (we previously discussed the issues we had with making it work under XCode 4).
This is what we get:
ld: library not found for -ltouchzipkit
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Command /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/clang failed with exit code 1
So the question is: do we need to change any settings for an app that builds fine to be able to get archived as well?

Premierleague.com rifles through the annals of the Barclays Premier League to find significant events.
New Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup made his third signing since taking over at the Liberty Stadium when he brought in Spanish attacking midfielder Michu from Rayo Vallecano for £2m.
The 26-year-old agreed a three-year deal in south Wales and said: "I really wanted to come to Swansea because of the coach, the style of play and the Barclays Premier League.
"I know how Michael's teams play so I'm looking forward to being part of that."
Michu scored 15 goals in 37 Primera Liga matches for lowly Rayo the previous season and Laudrup said: "I am happy that the player wanted to come here because I was here."
Michu set the tone for a successful season with two goals in a 5-0 opening day win at Queens Park Rangers and then scoring in each of his next two matches.
His sparkling form continued and by Christmas he had scored 13 goals in 18 Barclays Premier League fixtures, earning him a new four-year contract in January.
Although he was not quite so prolific in the second half of the season he still finished with 18 top-flight goals, making him the Barclays Premier League's fifth highest scorer.
He also starred in Swansea's run to the League Cup final and helped them secure their first major trophy by finding the net in a 5-0 win against Bradford City.
Despite making his debut for Spain's national team in October, Michu's second season did not go so well and after suffering ankle and knee injuries he underwent surgery on his ankle at the end of December.
He was out of action until the middle of March and when he returned, he failed to find the net in five appearances, leaving him with two Barclays Premier League goals for the season.
Earlier this week, Michu completed a season-long loan move to Napoli, with the Italian side having an option to buy.

"In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other's art, so we can effect a synthesis."
Related quotes
"If some musicians put more energy into their own craft, they'd be less likely to attack the artist they have a problem with 'not being'"
"Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music... The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside."
"A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland."
"The poet, the artist, the sleuth, whoever sharpens our perception tends to antisocial; rarely 'well adjusted,' he cannot go along with currents and trends."

U.S.-Cuba diplomacy sparks hope & warinessNASHVILLE (BP) -- President Obama's opening of diplomatic relations with Cuba may fuel an already-vibrant evangelistic movement there, or it may fuel a repressive regime, Southern Baptist leaders and pastors said in voicing divergent opinions to Baptist Press.
"Our prayer is that the Cuban church planting movement continue to expand. The Cuban people are very receptive to the Gospel," Kurt Urbanek, IMB strategist for Cuba, said in a statement to BP. Read More

Spurgeon Library.MBTS Photo
The film entitled, "Through the Eyes of Spurgeon," was directed and produced by Canadian filmmaker, Stephen McCaskell.

The "Porn Free WiFi" campaign, organized by the Internet safety group Enough is Enough (EIE), is urging the fast-food and coffee giants to implement Internet filters in their U.S. stores to stop customers from accessing or distributing child pornography and graphic adult pornography via their free Internet connections.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965)
Description: Based on the novel by John Le Carre, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold stars Richard Burton as a dispirited, end-of-tether British secret agent. He comes in from the cold (meaning he is pulled out of field operations) to act as a undercover man behind the Iron Curtain. To make his staged defection seem genuine, Burton goes on an alcoholic toot and is imprisoned and publicly humiliated. Once he has been accepted into East German espionage circles, Burton discovers that what he thought was his mission was a mere subterfuge--and that he's been set up as a pawn for an entirely different operation. Though Ireland and England stand in for East Berlin, Spy Who Came In From the Cold has the air of authenticity throughout, thanks in great part to the bleak black and white photography by Oswald Morris. The film was condemned as incomprehensible by those filmgoers accustomed to the simplistic melodramatics of James Bond; seen today, the double-crosses and double-double crosses seem all too clear and credible.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The U.S. Defense Department is investing billions of dollars in new military satellite communications systems. Unfortunately, reliance on these expensive and delayed programs has hampered the networked capabilities of operating units. Not only does a projected bandwidth shortage threaten the connectivity of U.S. forces around the globe, but the existing bandwidth shortage also is having repercussions on the morale of troops in theater who want to communicate with home. Given the considerable cost of military satellite communications systems and the consistently delayed deployments, why isn't the Defense Department taking advantage of an existing infrastructure to fill the gap today?
Given that 80-90% of today's SATCOM supporting military operations is provided by commercial systems it seems the question may be misdirected. Given that we already heavily use commercial SATCOM the questions are how much is enough and what is the right balance between military and commercial systems. I would say that we are meeting critical mission requirements now and there is a mechanism for obtaining additional bandwidth when needed. However, until we can transition to bandwidth on demand capabilities we will not be maximizing the bandwidth we currently have available. My opinion is that we need more balance between military and civilian SATCOM Systems. The first WGS satellite launched last week will start bringing that balance back but it will take commitment over the next decade to achieve.
COL Tim Coffin CDR 1st Space Brigade
No. This increases reliance on the private sector and takes away the militaries control over vital command and control resources.
Providing bandwidth is only one small part of the equation. Demand for imagery and full motion video will consume any bandwidth made available. We just need to be smarter about utilizing what's available.
The bigger issue affecting networking is getting data owners to share what's being collected and to convince the accreditation mafia to find an immediate answer to enable capability. Security concerns impede great ideas for information sharing and every service and agency carries a different set of rules governing connectivity. Cost for bandwidth is trivial when you consider about $.17 of every programmed dollar is spent on security accreditation.
No, it's faulty practices not policy and the answer is not to force feed an insatiable glutton with cheap commercial satcom. Military communications demands will exceed capacity until the services take painful steps they have consciously avoided for decades: First, tailor battlefield requirements and doctrine to match extant IT system capabilities, not hyped expectations. Second, support funds for rugged government IT rather than expensive platforms that are marginal or useless without assured connectivity. Third, develop and rigorously exercise tactics that will work in battlespace when the telephone doesn't.
We need complete control of satellites,before the war,without complete control we will have grey areas,and we dont want media or government controlling what the military can or cannot do!
Intuition tells us that satellite based communications are vulnerable. Keep the HF -VHF-UHF sets dry.

Morning peeps,
I am completely uncertified in IT (I can hear the gasps lol) - however my experience, dedication and other skills attained in management and project management, I am in a lucky position of running an IT team. Around 10 years ago I paid £800 to national distance learning in Middlesborough to do a hardware course. It was module based and every time I submitted a module my work was awarded a distinction. Anyhow half way through, the company went bust (no refund). Just over 4 years ago, I took redundancy from Royal Mail in which I paid £6,000 to Advent IT which covered (A+, MCDST,MCSA and MCSE), however shortly before sitting the second half of my A+, the company went into administration (no refund).
What I want to do is do quite a few of free on line tests, to gauge as to what I have picked up (plus my weaknesses), over my 5 years in the IT sector, and use library books and further on line free tests to judge when to book an exam. It's just I am no longer in a position to outlay big amounts of cash to learn, plus in this climate, what training companies can be trusted with your money?
Any ideas gang?

Nektar's recent share price decline comes despite encouraging data for PEGylated irinotecan NKTR-102 in breast cancer and ovarian cancer. The pullback appears to be due to a rebalancing of demand as more conservative biotech investors depart now that the company has declared their intention of proceeding to phase III trials of NKTR-102 without a partner. For the long-term, sales are likely a better strategy than royalties as long as the company is able to manage their debt with a looming repayment deadline in 2012.
The GBMB is not a long-term strategy, so I wouldn't look at Nektar for a real-life buy unless the pullback continued into the single digits.
