UEFI Gentoo Quick Install Guide
Gentoo doesn't officially support UEFI, but it is not hard to install gentoo onto an UEFI system. To do this you will need to basically follow the installation handbook of your architecture. The first place you will diverge from the guide is the partition setup.
UEFI doesn't use MBR (Master Boot Record), so you'll need to create a GPT partition table. UEFI works by reading an .efi file in a FAT32 partition, that you will need to create and upon which you will mount /boot.
Here is how I created my partitions.
Now continue along with the install guide.
For the kernel configuration, make sure you specify the kernel options mentioned here: EFI stub kernel
Here are my steps:
Now the tricky part. You need to tell the UEFI Firmware about your new bootx64.efi, to do this you will use a tool called efibootmgr, but also you need to have booted the system WITH UEFI.
So you can grab any linux distribution that support boot in UEFI mode, and do the work. Another option that does work, is if you stick your new bootx64.efi file on a USB flash stick, the laptop will automatically find that and boot it.
So insert a USB stick, we'll pretend it comes up as /dev/sdd in the following code:
Now reboot the box and hit F2 (or whatever) to enter the UEFI Firmware Boot Menu on boot.
In the UEFI list, choose to boot the new USB flash stick that should be showing up.
The kernel should load up and boot your sytem.
Make sure efivars kernel module is loaded:
Now you can tell the UEFI Firmware about your bootx64.efi that is on the hard drive:
Now enter the UEFI Firmware Boot Menu again and you should see "Gentoo" in the list!
Congrats, it should now boot!

The AML opens divisional play this week after three weeks of AML North vs AML South. The 2-1 Kane Wolves will host the 3-0 Brockway Rovers on Friday night in what appears to be a contest of two closely matched teams.
The Rovers have dominated the first three teams on their schedule, defeating Cameron County in their season opener by a score of 42-8, then beating Otto-Eldred 42-6, and last week jumping out to an early 35-7 lead to Sheffield before sending the Wolverines home with a 35-21 loss.
JOHNSONBURG – The Kane Lady Wolves gave the home team fits Thursday night in the serve-receive statistics category in a 3-1 (25-21, 25-17, 21-25, 25-12) win over the Johnsonburg Ramettes.
Kane had little trouble in the first two games against the Ramettes before a hiccup in the third game sidetracked the visitors. The Lady Wolves regrouped quickly, however, to clinch the decisive fourth game for the win.
Kane's seventh- and eighth-grade girls' basketball teams both won in their home openers on Wednesday. The seventh-grade girls won in the first game of the afternoon, defeating the young Lady Wolverines by a score of 14-10, followed by the eighth-graders' 32-3 drubbing of Sheffield.
Coach Mary Espin's seventh-grade squad evened their record at 1-1 with the win. Trinity Clark led Kane with six points, followed by Amber Carlson with four. Gina Marconi and Mackenzie Witherell chipped in two points each for the Lady Wolves.
Kane school administrators are planning to develop and implement strategies to increase parent involvement in the education of their children.
One of the proposed initiatives calls for the creation of a "parent advisory committee" to work with school officials.
Ideas for increasing parent involvement in Kane schools were discussed Thursday at a meeting of the school board's Curriculum Committee.
Dr. Maryann Anderson, superintendent of the Kane Area School District, said "we're trying to create more interest" among parents.
BRADFORD – In recent cross country action, the Kane Wolves competed at the Bradford Invitational and also at Brookville on Tuesday, besting many teams in the process.
As has been the trend this season, the only squad to field a full team was the varsity boys, although the other teams had fine individual performances. At Bradford, the varsity girls would start the day with Kristin Boyer placing fifth overall with a time of 21:42 and Olivia Kumher running a time of 36:04.
High school students can explore their post-graduate options at the first annual Career and College Fair to be held next Wednesday, Sept. 26 at Kane Area High School.
Representatives from businesses and colleges will be providing information and brochures from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the high school cafeteria.
Recruiters for the branches of the Armed Forces also will be on hand to answer questions about military service.
In total, at least 25 representatives are expected to reserve table space for the Fair.
The Kane Lady Wolves defeated the Ridgway Lady Elkers in four games on Tuesday in the Wolves' Den.
Kane won easily in game one by a score of 25-12. Game two was a much closer affair, as the home team rallied for the 25-20 win. The visitors took game three as Kane struggled with their passing and communicating. Kane head coach Judy Kessler's team then regrouped to take a marathon game four by a score of 30-28, winning the match.
The St. Marys Area Dutch soccer team added another win to their season record on Tuesday afternoon, shutting out the Kane Wolves 4-0 at the SMAHS soccer field.
"I'm happy for the kids. We were able to score four goals, which was tied with our season high so far," said St. Marys Area coach Russ Micale. "They played a good, solid game the whole time. I'm proud of them."
All three Wetmore Township supervisors will share the responsibility of directing the two-man road crew.
This decision was made Tuesday by a 2-1 vote of the supervisors at a 59-minute meeting at the township building on Spring Creek in East Kane.
Supervisors Bill Ryding and Elaine Bodisow agreed that "all three" members of the township board will direct the road crew. Supervisor Steve Dyne, who resigned Aug. 7 as the volunteer road superintendent, cast the lone negative vote.
Mrs. Alverta A. "Pete" Castor, 86, passed into the next life at 6 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012 in Kane Community Hospital following an extended
She was born Oct. 12, 1925 in Accident, Md. to the late Harry and Ida Holliday Wilhelm.
An area resident for the past 50 years, "Pete" retired from Sylvania after 30 years service. She was a workaholic and kept an immaculate home and
enjoyed going to Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and playing bingo.
She is survived by three daughters, Noreen Griffith and husband Dan, Sheffield, Anita Frederoski, Sheffield, and Loretta Davidson and husband

An eight-week yoga program boosts working memory.
Adults who did yoga three times a week for eight weeks improved their performance on tests of their brains' executive function, while adults who did a stretching and strengthening program for the same time didn't, according to research published in The Journals of Gerontology.
Executive function is a term applied to a collection of mental tasks that appear to happen automatically. Examples of executive function include planning, working memory and troubleshooting.
In the study, 118 people with an average age of 62 were divided into two groups. One group took a one-hour Hatha yoga class three times a week for eight weeks; the other group took a one-hour class consisting of stretching and strengthening exercises three times a week for eight weeks. Hatha yoga is a common type of yoga that features sequences of relatively gentle poses and emphasizes focusing on one's breath and being present.
Both groups took a series of executive function tests before and after their eight weeks of exercise classes. The stretch-and-strengthen group performed the same on the tests before and after, but the yoga group improved significantly on some, especially those having to do with working memory.
One of the tests the yoga group improved on was correctly identifying what item they'd seen two items ago when presented with a series of images.
The brain's frontal lobes are thought to be heavily involved in executive function. Earlier research has suggested that a yoga practice can lead to increased activity in the frontal lobes.

I am a singer its my talent but sometimes its hard being a talented person cause they want you to do everything and it annoys me as for school its important to stay in school if you want to be so famous then you have to finish school they do not want no uneducated child playing in a movie or being a singer im not a nerd i kno cause i discovered it myself.
I want to sing, because im passionate about music and for no other reason
i just wanna go to the x factor then i dont have to go back to school
I agree with the Getting Schooled part. I did that and I'm really go at it now.

You don't know JB stop lying
Well sell your soul and you'll be famous how do you think JB and the rest got famous all you need is the illuminati but be careful you'll have to sacrifice someone you love later on in your career
I wanna be a actress and songer
Think hard about being famous, it seems amazing now, but do u reallly wanna be stalked 24/7 and never have any alone time? THINK HARDER ABOUT THIS DECISION!

Need Advice About Nightmare Project
I just started working at a web development firm Monday, and I was assigned a project to allow users to switch between a grid and list view.
Problem is, this is some awful legacy code. There are hundreds of nested tables, spacer gifs, inline styles, evals, almost no classes or ids on anything, it's organized terribly, no doctype, and tons of different files spread everywhere that mix tons of table markup with JSP logic (and I don't even know JSP).
I spent my first 3 days trying to make the whole tables thing work, and eventually decided it's not going to happen. I've managed to tame some of the tables, but I have to re-do the global nav as well, and that's filled with nested tables and all that crap too. I've run into wall after wall because of how poorly this (big) site is implemented.
I feel like this is a test for me to see if I can swing it, and I want to pass the test and get this done on time and budget. Anyone have any advice or tips for making awful markup work, or has anyone else had a similar experience in their career?

Many Americans are struggling to gain access to oral care, as more individuals find themselves without dental insurance. Tragically, it is not just adults who are experiencing dental health problems, but children as well.Recently, ABC World News reported that more than 16 million American kids are going without dental care, which resulted in a major surge of young patients in emergency rooms with blackened teeth."People think just because you have insurance that you're going to have access to care - which is not the whole story," said pediatric dentist Falguni Patel. "They're very few pediatric dentists that accept Medicaid in this area, so these children have nowhere to go even if they do have insurance. It's a big problem."In November, PBS spoke to dental health professionals who said that the government has identified more than 4,500 areas in America where there aren't enough dentists. Individuals without insurance should look into discount dental plans that can help connect them to an oral care professional.For more information on discount dental plans, call 1-888-632-5353

Range to 660°C
Meets all ITS-90 reMeets all ITS-90 requirements for resistance ratios
Rtp drift < 20mK after 500 hours at 660°C
Strain-free sensor design by Hart's SPRT engineers
Hart's high-temp secondary standards fill the gap between affordable, but temperature-limited secondary PRTs and more expensive, highly accurate SPRTs.
If you're using block calibrators, furnaces, or temperature points above normal PRT temperatures (420 °C), then these two PRTs are for you. The 5626 is nominally 100W and the 5628 is nominally 25.5W. Both instruments have a temperature range of –200 °C to 661 °C. They make great working or check standards for calibration work up to the aluminum point.
Using a regular PRT at temperatures above 500 °C exposes the platinum to contamination. If the PRT is used as a reference or calibration standard, contamination is a major problem. SPRTs, which are more expensive and delicate, can handle the higher temperatures, but with greater risk to the instrument due to shock, contamination, or mishandling. The 5626 and 5628 are designed to reduce the contamination risk through the use of internal protection while not impairing performance.
In addition to the right measurement performance and durability, a PRT for secondary applications should be priced affordably. Hart's new PRTs are inexpensive and come with an accredited calibration. The calibration comes complete with ITS-90 constants and a resistance-versus-temperature table.
Check the temperature range, check the stability, check the price! Who else gives you this much quality, performance, and value for your money? No one!

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A record crowd at last month's auto preview show meant a big pay day for local charities.
The Syracuse Auto Dealers Association handed out $241,000 worth of checks Thursday to area charities all of it from ticket sales.
The only stipulation, the money has to be used locally.
The Central New York Make-A-Wish foundation has received nearly $250,000 from the auto dealers over the years.
And while the money is great, it's only part of what makes Thursday's event special.
"As much as the money is important, the opportunity to be showcased with other local charities and create awareness about our organization to help make wishes come true for kids with life threatening medical conditions, it's really extraordinary and it's a ton of fun," said Diane Kupperman, Central NY Make-A-Wish President.
More than $2 million has been donated to charity in the 16 year history of the event.

Sneak Preview of the Customer-Centric Culture Track at CXP Forum 2009

[Posted by Megan Burns]
Happy Friday everyone! It's hard to believe, but Forrester's Customer Experience Forum is just 17 days away. A few of my colleagues have already talked about the event, but I thought I'd add my own take with a sneak preview of the track I'm leading.
My track is all about Customer-Centric Culture and the role it plays in helping companies along their customer experience journey. Our research shows that culture is a huge piece of the puzzle, so it was hard to narrow the list of topics to just four. But we did it, and I'm excited about the lineup we've put together. Here's the agenda:
- Leaders from Intuit, Discover Financial, and Verizon Wireless will participate in a panel discussion on what it takes to build a world class Voice Of The Customer program. (Note – if you're interested in this topic, stick around for the first annual Forrester Voice Of The Customer Awards later in the afternoon on Monday!)
- Author Jeanne Bliss will lay out a step-by-step roadmap to success for new Chief Experience Officers and others charged with leading transformation of their company's culture.
- Senior Analyst Chad Mitchell will look at how the customer-centric culture at leading insurance companies translates into a better end-to-end customer experience. Chad will be joined by customer experience leaders from AllState, who will talk about their own journey toward customer-centricity and the lessons they've learned along the way.
- Principal Analyst Dave Frankland will talk about how companies are using the customer database and customer analytics platforms to nurture a customer-centric culture across the enterprise.
In addition to coordinating these sessions, I'm giving a speech on Tuesday afternoon in the "Designing Great Web Experiences" track. I'm not actually talking about design, but something equally as important - how to find money to actually implement great design in a tough economy. I firmly believe that the money is out there to be had; you just have to be a little more creative than normal to tap into it.
We're going to be very busy in the next few weeks putting the finishing touches on all these sessions, but if you have any ideas or questions let us know.
I hope to see you at the Forum in New York, but until then take care and enjoy the start of summer! (This really is the best time of year, isn't it?)

Launching in February in conjunction with Black History Month, "Spirits of the Passage" includes real artifacts from slave ships as well as other period items. Iron shackles (some small enough to restrain a child), ivory tusks and brass bowls are only a few of the objects guests will find.

When it's January in Germany, all roads lead to Düsseldorf. At least they do if you're a boat person. You can look over a hundred-foot motoryacht that's been plucked from the nearby Rhine river, paddle a canoe on an intricately landscaped mock river, cast a fly on an alpine stream, get rescued from an overturned Opti on a manmade lake, outfit yourself in bargain-basement foulweather gear or put a deposit on a new sailboat—all without stepping outdoors and all before your lunchtime bowl of goulash.

Ever since I discovered NetworthIQ, I've religiously tracked my numbers every month. Sometimes I'll browse through the profiles to see how others are doing, but mostly I keep track of my numbers for myself and for this blog. From the time I started up until today (8 years), my net worth has increased by over $110,000 (an average of approx. $14,000/year).
Now, that's pretty good considering I have never been a high income earner. Before this year, my average gross annual salary (not including freelance/side income) for the last 8 years was around $45,000. And even when you factor in the freelance/side income, my average gross annual salary only increases to $53,000. 2011 was my best year when I earned just over $82,000. This year, I'll hover between $75-80,000 when you add up my salary with my freelance income. That's a comfortable amount to live on… but it's not life changing.
My net worth hasn't increased enough for me to feel satisfied, and that's mainly due to my retirement savings. In 2011, I had a consultation with a fee-only financial advisor (provided by the Toronto Star), who informed me that if I want to retire by my goal age of 55-57, I need to be saving a lot more aggressively than I have been. Unfortunately last year, I barely saved anything, and this year it's been a struggle to get back on track. I'm earning less money than I did in 2011, so is early retirement still my number one goal? If so, then every other financial decision I make needs to reflect that fact. And if it isn't my number one goal anymore, then what is?
This is what I need to figure out before I start tackling what I want to achieve for next year. I see next year as a pivot point to my finances (and my life). I'm finally settled down in Vancouver. I have a home and a steady job, and at my advancing age (yep, I said it) I don't see myself dropping everything and moving abroad again or doing anything drastic anytime soon. Travel will always be a big part of my life, but I've already acknowledged the fact that I need to scale back. Even this year (where I was supposed to really slow down) was a bit excessive.
Right now I'm saving 10% of my gross annual income for retirement. It's not enough. Based on my calculations, I need to be saving 18-20% of my gross if I want to hit my early age goal (without counting on CPP, OAS, or property). Since that doesn't include other savings goals, this will mean making significant lifestyle changes, or increasing my income somehow. Likely both.
A lot to ponder over the next few weeks, that's for sure.

I finally got back to look at your pictures from your last update and they are freak'n great. Your skill is really good and so is your camera. I am so jealous. I want to take pictures like that! I keep telling DH that we need to upgrade our camera and I need a photography class. I can't believe how much food they gave you at Ohana. Did they seriously think Nobby was going to help you finish it off?

Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Keys to the Kingdom, Relaxation in Style, and a DIS Meet to Boot!
When planning my trip Monday was one of the days I was looking the most forward too. It was going to be a full day but a most wonderful day at that. The morning began pretty early with Nobby and I getting ready and heading to Magic Kingdom to check in for our Keys to the Kingdom tour. This is one of the things I was most looking forward to on this trip. Im a huge Disney history fan and love learning little tidbits about Disney and I was hoping I would learn a lot about Disney on this tour. Nobby and I quickly drove over to TTC and hopped on the Monorail and had a bit of a hold up at the turnstiles (of course LOL). For some reason they kept sending me back and forth to get in, one person said I couldnt go in the character breakfast entrance, the other person would send me back, finally I was able to go in and check in.
Nobby patiently waited while I went in and checked us in and got our name tags and hearing device, I made sure to grab a cold bottle of water while I was at it. I have to say I love that they give you hearing devices, not only does this mean I can hear everything, but then your tour guide doesnt have to yell and that is a good thing because there are some parts of the magic that are not meant for little ears to hear. Our tour guide this morning was Matthew.
Boy was Matthew a hoot, he was HILARIOUS!! He had such a great sense of humor and had me laughing the entire time. He was also extremely knowledgeable and knew tons of things about Disney. I was greatly impressed with his knowledge. Now Im not going to give away any of the tour because well its a great tour and I would suggest if you are interested that you go on it yourself, it is well worth it, trust me!!! However a couple of the really cool things we were able to do was go backstage and see some cool things back there. We rode on the Jungle Cruise and got some really cool things pointed out to us.
We went in the back entrance of the Haunted Mansion which just added to my dream come true and boy was I giddy with excitement. Matthew who must have sensed the I love HM so much you could leave me here forever vibe coming off of me picked me to touch a few things in the back entrance suffice to say I was totally on cloud nine LOL! Then it was time to lunch. As part of the tour lunch is provided at the Columbia Harbor House, they rope off a very nice section upstairs and your order is ready for you when you arrive (You preorder that morning when you check in).
For lunch I had chosen the Fish and Chicken basket!! It was so good.
Because I was a single traveler I was able to sit at the table with Matthew and ask a lot of questions. It was a great time and I really enjoyed being able to pick his brain.
Shortly after lunch our tour was over and I was off on my own to explore. I was still a bit hungry so I decided it was time to try the one snack raved over on the DIS boards. The DOLE WHIP!
Now dont stone me or ostracize me but this was a bit too much for me! I really enjoyed it but it was very sweet and very pineapply. I think I would have been happy with just the pineapple ice cream, but with the juice I just couldnt finish it all. Next time I will stick with just the ice cream!
By this time I figured I would head over to the Grand Floridian and leisurely explore the grounds and get ready for my date at the spa. You see as part of my dream trip I wanted to go to the Grand Floridian spa for some treatments. What started as just a pedicure turned into a massage and pedicure and I was really looking forward to some relaxation and so were my poor footsies!!! So I headed towards the exit of Magic Kingdom when I saw her.
DAISY!! I was on a character roll so I knew I had to meet her especially since one of my dear DIS friends (Soleil) was a huge Daisy fan so I wanted to get a few pictures for her!! Daisy is just quite the lady my friends!!
Then out of the corner of my eye I saw a certain Mouses best friend and rushed over to meet him!!! Pluto was quite the charmer; he might have even given Nobby a run for his money. He insisted that I scratch his ears and give him a kiss on the nose and I happily obliged.
At this point I knew it was time to head to the Grand Floridian! So I waved goodbye to the Magic Kingdom for the day and headed to the Monorail.

Isnt she a sight to behold! This resort is just gorgeous and the grounds are just so beautiful. I really enjoyed the few minutes I had to just explore and take it all in!!
I just loved this fountain! I would like to have a mini fountain in my front yard some day! Although for me in January, it was way too cold to swim the pool at the Grand Floridian during this time was being renovated so they were inviting all the guests to head over the Poly and enjoy the pool there.
Inside was even grander and more magnificent!
Check out that light fixture!!!
And that is how window displays are done in a deluxe resort!
Well I obviously had no clue where I was going so I made my way over to the front desk and asked for directions to the spa. They pointed me out the front door and told me to follow the path along the beach and I wouldnt miss it. On my way out I was able to see a bride and her bridal party getting pictures taken. I took a moment to observe, the bride was glowing and I could only imagine what it was like to get married on Disney property, I was very happy for the lucky couple!
The walk to the spa was very relaxing and I simply just took it all in. It had warmed up a bit, but not enough for anyone to be out laying in the sand on the beach LOL! Finally I arrived at the spa.
And this is where I become a bad DIS trip report writer, because there are no more pictures until dinner time. This was about me relaxing so I put the camera away and did just that. I went inside and boy did it smell heavenly and I changed into one of those cushy bathrobes and then waited to meet my CM for my massage. The massage was exactly what I needed. My masseuse did a great job and I felt like jello afterwards, it definitely was an enjoyable experience. Next was the pedicure and that was also fantastic, it was exactly what my poor feet needed and something I would highly recommend if you ever get the chance. From that day on my feet werent even sore! I had my toesies painted a bright red LOL and then it was off to make my early dinner at 1900 Park Fare!
I had chosen this dinner, not for the food but once again for the characters! I had read on the DIS (of course!) how much fun the stepsisters were! Well the food here was okay, wasnt the best but I did enjoy the options I had chosen.
Okay this I loved hmmm Strawberry Soup it was FANTABULOUS!!!! I would go up later and get some more!
For dinner I had the prime rib, a tomato and mozzarella salad, mashed potatoes (which were so good), a roll, and a Caesar salad. It was all good and I enjoyed it! However I wasnt very hungry and there were some people I really wanted to meet. The first guests of the evening were Cinderella and her Prince! They were royally introduced and then they danced, well the romantic in me swooned LOL! It was so sweet! Then they were off to meet their guests for the evening!
Both were very friendly and I loved watching the Prince interact with the little girls, it was so cute!!! Then came the comic relief of the evening!! The Evil Stepmother and her Stepdaughters!! THEY WERE A HOOT!! Lady Tremaine was the first to come by and the moment she laid eyes on Nobby she immediately yelled at her girls to come over because they had to see the little dwarf who ran away from Snow White LOL! Okay well Nobby was not impressed with being called a dwarf so he didnt want to get his picture taken with Lade Tremaine, so it would just have to be me LOL!
Drizella however was a whole other story. She knew that Nobby was a gnome and she just adored him! She asked if she could take him home with her, but the look on Nobbys face showed he didnt really want to go home with her, so we had to politely decline. However Nobby did enjoy all the wonderful attention and the kiss from Drizella (Im telling you this gnome knows how to get the ladies LOL)
Drizella was also kind enough to get a picture with me! Well Anastasia she wasnt too impressed that Nobby had run away from Snow White (I tried to tell her he was a gnome not a dwarf, but she wasnt listening, because Drizella wasnt making things better telling her that Nobby liked her better). So she was a little grumpy when we took our picture together LOL.
After that I was ready to head out you see this special day wasnt quite over yet!! I had one last stop to make to meet a very special person. So I headed back to my car and made my way to DTD. I think I was running a bit behind and I was getting nervous. I was hoping this friend and her family would still be there. I quickly parked the car, grabbed Nobby, and then grabbed a couple of gift bags that I had made for her girls. Who was I meeting??? Well I call her Kim (NorthernDisneyGirl)! This was their first night at Disney and I was extremely grateful they had agreed to meet up with me. I knew the girls would be exhausted after their flight but I had wanted to give them their bags as a surprise for their arrival to the most magical place on Earth. Well I headed towards Lego Land where we were going to meet and sure enough watching her girls play with legos was Kim and her hubby Ken! I was so excited!! It was like meeting a long time friend! We were very excited and spent a few minutes chatting and then I was able to meet the girls and give them their gifts!! Kim has assured me they were a big hit!! The girls then showed me some of the purchases they had already made while in DTD. Then we asked Ken if he would be so kind to take some pictures of us so we could remember this moment, he was such a good hubby!
Kim insisted on getting one with Nobby (I told you a ladies man LOL) and then one of just us!
We then decided as a group to head over to Goofys Candy Co. I wanted to get some make your own treats and the girls wanted to get a sweet snack. Along the way the girls and Ken stopped in the fountain to play so Kim and I could just chit chat and we made plans to meet up the next night after their dinner at Chef Mickeys in Magic Kingdom.
We walked into Goofys and that smell gets me every single time it is just plain sinful! Kim and family got their trips and we said our goodbyes, it had been a long day for them and they wanted to go get some rest!! I stayed and waited while my treats were made! Okay I failed here again too guys because we all know I love pretzel rods and the marshmallows and that is what I got but I have no pictures to share I know I know Im horrible!! After my treats were ready and boxed, I was ready for bed! Nobby and I headed back to the car and back to resort for another night of very happy Disney Dreams.

Great updates!! So much to comment on!
I've never been to Goofy's Candy Co... will have to check that off the list this fall!
How sweet of you to bring gift bags for Kim's kids. I'm sure they loved them. And how fun to meet DIS'ers you've been "talking" to online!
The spa sounds glorious. I can't wait for a pedicure in September (or is it technically Oct?) Either way, can't wait.
I am jealous of that bride you saw too. I think Disney weddings are just that much more magical!
I think it is beautiful but for whatever reason, GF just isn't high on my list of places to stay.
You didn't like the Dole Whip? Just kidding. To each his own. Here's a tip - add rum.
Keys to the Kingdom - I have been debating whether or not to add a tour to my itinerary for this next trip. Now you have me thinking harder about it. I'm sure I'd love it. And how perfect that you were the one selected to "touch things" in the Haunted Mansion!

Now that was a GREAT day! MK tour, relaxation at a spa, character interactions, and a DIS meet. A full but wonderful day.

Once again great updates.
I really want to do the Keys to the Kingdom tour. I also have always wanted to attend one of their management classes to know how they get everyone to do what they are suppose to do with a good attitude.
Did you say pedicure? My toesies are in need of some attention.
I put 1900 Park Fare on my list every year and end up ditching it for something else. The food really doesnt appeal to me but I really want to meet those stepsisters. But then Mary Poppins is at breakfast. Decisions, Decisions.
Do we get to see what you got at Goofy's? Do we Do We?

Wow, another great day!!! I've always wanted to do the Keys to the Kingdom tour but never can seem to find the time to do it. I will make it happen one day though, you'll see!!! I'm glad you were able to get in some "You" time at the GF. Great pictures, too!! I got married at the Wedding Pavillion and the pohotographer took some fantastic pictures from that staircase at the GF
Never been to Goofy's Candy. Does it smell like chocolate in there? DH will flip out as he's deathly allergic to it

1900 Park Fare was one of my favorites from our trip as well.
I actually need to update my TR...I was hoping to get it done before I left on our next trip, but alas I am too slow.

Yahoo CEO bans working from home
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 02-25-2013 - 3:04pm
Marissa Mayer,CEO of Yahoo, recently sent out a memo, banning Yahoo's employees from working at home:
What's even more disappointing, imo, is that Marissa is a mom herself! I would have thought she would be more understanding of the logistical challenges working moms face but it appears this is not the case. Of course, this is the same woman who only took a mere two week maternity leave so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, sigh.
When I was laid off a couple years ago, one of the reasons why was because the companies were wanting to move towards hiring people who could come into the office. When I was looking for work, my options were severly limited by not living in California or New York and being able to come into an office. I fear that moves like this are only going to encourage companies even more to move away from WAHM (and dads). Maybe they should try reading one of the MANY studies that support the idea that employees working from home are indeed quite productive!
"The study's results revealed that people who worked from home were 13 percent more productive than people working in an office. The study also showed that people working from home were more efficient. "
The above is just one of many studies that prove this. It's really a shame that more companies often just assume that "the office is the best and only way".
|Mon, 02-25-2013 - 3:58pm
I read about this the other day and was very disappointed in her decision. She sounds like a micromanaging control freak which is the worst kind of boss (I've been there and she made our lives h - e - double toothpick.)
The employees have every right to be upset. I can just picture them all gathered around the water cooler complaining rather than working. She needs to be careful about what she wishes for, HAHAHA.

Explorer Toolbar Editor and or remove buttons on Explorer toolbar
Explorer Toolbar Editor is powerful and easy-to-use software that helps you add or remove buttons from the Windows Explorer toolbar in Windows 7.
Unlike other existing programs, Explorer Toolbar Editor supports many folder types and displays the current set of buttons for each one. Also, you can use it to reorder the toolbar buttons.
Explorer Toolbar Editor allows you to:
Explorer Toolbar Editor supports two button display modes:
File or folder selected means that a button is only displayed when you select a file or folder. This mode is useful for adding buttons that deal with file management, e.g. Copy, Paste, Cut, Rename, etc.
Nothing selected means that a button is only displayed when there's nothing selected in a folder. This mode is useful for adding buttons that deal with the Explorer display, e.g. Preview Pane, Navigation Pane, Details Pane. Note: it makes perfect sense to also add such buttons when a file or folder is selected, so you can always see them on the toolbar.
In the Explorer Toolbar Editor, each display mode has a dedicated tab:

SEC charges China affiliates of top accounting firms
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Aruna Viswanatha and Dena Aubin | December 4, 2012 7:49 AM EST
Regulators on Monday charged the Chinese arms of five top accounting firms with securities violations over their refusal to produce certain audit papers, raising questions about whether talks between the United States and China to resolve the issue have stalled.
The Securities and Exchange Commission began proceedings against the Chinese affiliates of Deloitte, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, BDO and Ernst & Young.
It was the SEC's widest enforcement effort yet to procure documents in connection with probes of possible accounting fraud of U.S.-listed Chinese companies.
The SEC has been seeking documents related to investigations of possible wrongdoing at nine China-based companies, the agency said. Chinese secrecy laws have stymied efforts to obtain audit documents that investigators need to determine whether there were accounting irregularities.
An administrative law judge will schedule a hearing to determine potential sanctions against the Chinese arms of the accounting firms, the SEC said.
In July the agency disclosed it was in discussions with Chinese regulators on cross-border cooperation, including access to documents. The Monday action suggests those talks have not progressed to the SEC's satisfaction.
"Firms that conduct audits knowing they cannot comply with laws requiring access to these work papers face serious sanctions," SEC enforcement director Robert Khuzami said in a statement announcing the action.
The accounting firms pinned the blame on lack of progress in the negotiations.
The action "is the result of conflicting laws between the U.S. and China," PwC China said in a statement. "This action involves an issue that needs to be resolved between the US and China."
"While it is unfortunate that the two countries have not yet been able to find common ground on these issues, we remain hopeful that a diplomatic agreement can be reached, and we stand ready to assist that effort in any way we can," Deloitte said.
Ernst & Young's China affiliate, Ernst & Young Hua Ming, said in a statement it hoped U.S. and Chinese regulators can reach agreement.
The other firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Top accounting firms operate as global networks of legally separate member firms in each country, so all member firms are not liable for the actions in any one country.
The SEC action accuses the affiliates of violating U.S. securities laws that require foreign public accounting firms to provide the SEC with audit work papers involving any company trading on U.S. markets.
Many of the Chinese companies under investigation traded on U.S. exchanges through so-called reverse mergers, and have since been deregistered by the SEC.
Last year, the agency took Deloitte to federal court to try to force that firm to turn over documents in connection with an investigation into Longtop Financial Technologies Ltd. In July, it sought a six-month delay in that legal battle, citing negotiations with Chinese regulators.
Reuters reported last month that the U.S. auditor watchdog, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, had completed observations of Chinese inspections of auditors and expressed optimism about talks over access to audit documents.
PCAOB spokeswoman Colleen Brennan said on Monday the agency met with China regulators in Washington in the last week of November.
In a statement, PCAOB Chairman James Doty said his agency's negotiations are proceeding on a separate track from the SEC.
If the agency's efforts don't lead to an agreement, "then we will need to consider other alternatives," Doty said.

Contemporary gray kitchen great room
January 16, 2013 in Before & After
We had very little counter space before we knocked wall down between 2 rooms. Kitchencraft cabinets in gray. Color is interesting because it reads gray in natural lighting, but more navy with the lights on. Counters are all quartz. Island is cambria praa sands, surrounding countertops are granite master, think its concrete beach. Backsplash is marble, legno, white park slope pattern that I turned 90 degrees so the rectangles echo the cabinets. Flooring is Anteres N in a 20x20 size.

Looks very modern and functional - Love the colors in the kitchen - the pendant lights - and actually your counter stools for the island - nice counter space -

Cheap international tour packages advertised in newspapers were the bait.
Those who fell for them are now short of a few thousands, and in some cases, lakhs.
More than 150 persons from across the State were cheated of nearly Rs. 50 lakh by a fake travel agency that promised cheap holidays in destinations abroad.
The Central Crime Branch has launched a probe into the fraud.
According to one of the victims, T.K. Dinesh, an AC mechanic from Washermenpet, he paid over Rs. 1 lakh to the travel firm — Star Events — after he came across their advertisement in a newspaper in October 2012.
"They were offering a Thailand tour package for just Rs. 21,500 per person, including return airfare and three-star accommodations. I contacted them by phone and then visited their office on Anna Salai. I made a booking for six persons including myself," he said.
Later, Dinesh received a call from the firm and was informed that the onward journey to Thailand would begin on January 17, 2013.
"But they kept changing the dates and, on January 18, when I went to their office, it was locked. The mobile phones of the employees who kept in touch with me were switched off," said Dinesh.
On Monday morning, Dinesh and his friends went to the office of the commissioner of police to lodge a complaint. It was there they met nearly 50 others who had been duped by the same firm.
On Tuesday, another 50 persons approached the commissionerate with the same complaint. Many more are yet to file complaints, the police said.
The firm offered tour packages to destinations in Asia, Europe, the Gulf and also, affordable tickets to individual travellers to the US and Canada.
"Apart from cash, the passports of a few complainants too are in the possession of the firm. In some cases, the employees of the firm went to the homes of customers and collected lakhs, as part of their 'doorstep collection' scheme," said an investigating officer.
A few city-based travel agencies too fell for their bait and bought the cheap tour packages in a bid to sell it at a higher price to their customers.
A case has been registered and a police team is on the lookout for the owner and three employees of the firm.

CBOE Holdings Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Turning first to product development, we remain keenly focused on our high-margin proprietary products, which include CBOE's S&P 500 options or SPX and options and futures on CBOE's volatility index, VIX. Our S&P 500 Index product line, which includes SPX, SPXpm and SPX Weeklys, carries our highest options rate per contract. Second quarter average daily volume in SPX rose 12% over the prior quarter and 10% over last year's second quarter, while trading in SPXpm increased 17% against the previous quarter. SPX Weeklys continued to be one of the year's fastest-growing product. Through June, in SPX Weeklys, trading is up 46% over the previous year, while the second quarter volume rose 54% over the previous quarter and 65% over the second quarter of 2011.
We continue to design new SPX products to respond to specific customer needs. Last Friday, we launched SPX Variance Strips or V-Strips, which are aimed at qualified professionals, including OTC users. V-Strips are designed to trade a portfolio of SPX options series that replicate implied volatility in a single transaction and employ quoting conventions similar to those used for trading OTC variance swaps. After execution, each V-Strip is broken down into its components, which might include as many as 1,000 SPX contracts, which are then transmitted to and cleared by the Options Clearing Corporation.
As you can imagine, the unique construction of the V-Strip necessitates the support of highly customized trading technology. Our systems teams responded with the creation of a new patent-pending technology called BasketWeaver, which employs reverse engineering to deconstruct the VIX into its component parts. It is a wonderful example of how systems development is leveraging to power product innovation at CBOE.
Moving on to our volatility franchise, trading in options and futures on CBOE's volatility index or VIX continued to provide tremendous growth through the quarter despite relatively low volatility and low marketwide options and futures volume. VIX options volume rose 22% over the second quarter of 2011 and the dramatic growth in trading in VIX futures shows no signs of abating.Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

(New & Improved Design Now fits 99% of Pushchairs)
Order in the next 15 hours 49 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
All BuggyBoards are carefully designed to be safe, comfortable, fun and speedy, and you can be sure the Mini fits almost everything. However, the compact size of the BuggyBoard Mini make it look particularly good fitted to umbrella fold buggies and smaller pushchairs. Cheaper than the Maxi, it is also more likely to suit your pocket!
Compact and lightweight, the MINI now includes the easy-fit connector mechanism. an anti-slip platform, in-built suspension and a lift 'n' store hang up device.
No tools needed, the BuggyBoard Mini attaches to the upright tubing of a stroller or to the frame of a pram, where the width between uprights is 31 - 54cm (12" - 21"). Connectors need to be fitted no more than 39cm from the ground.
The connectors are made to fit square, oval or round tubing with a maximum circumference of 22.5cm (9"). No wheel axle is required.
Bought this for my 2 1/2 yr old to use rather then buying a twin pushchair as he likes to walk but can still get tired currently he is still unsure of getting on it. I received the order within 2 days of ordering and found it very easy it set up and does not interfere with the pushing of the pram as we also have a stroller which we would like to move it to later the connection can be removed easily or spare parts can be bought of not. So far very happy with this product
Really good buggy board, fits great on my iCandy apple pram. Perfect for my 2year old and he loves being able to see baby when we're out and about. Perfect for tired little legs too.
Great invention for toddlers who get distracted and tired from walking easily. However if your toddler is not very tall, s/he might not be able to see. My daughter(2 years 7 months) always have to peek on the sides of the buggy(Maclaren Techno XLR). In order to use the same buggy board on another buggy you will need to buy an extra set of connectors which is not cheap compare to this whole set.
Bought to encourage toddler to walk and only stand on pram when tired. With a sick husband I was worried how easy it would be to install. It was actually pretty straight forward and I was impressed by the engineering and my toddler loves it. Also handy for overseas when not wanting to take double buggy
Why have I not bought this sooner? I have a 9 month old and a 4 year old! It was easy to assemble, its durable and love how easy it clicks on and off. If you have got 2 small children, you NEED this product!

Just as non-vessel-operating common carriers got their first chance to offer customers contracts with confidential rates, the new Federal Maritime Commission NVO "service arrangement" rule has taken a turn back into the legal jungle.
Two groups representing shippers associations have petitioned the FMC to reconsider its NVO "service arrangement" rule, and halt any contracting that has taken place. They also asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to review the rule.
The worst-case scenario is that NVOs with contracts in hand may find them nullified by the FMC or the court, but the rule is also getting strong support from the NVOs and trade groups that urged the commission to pass it. Nor is the FMC likely to back down. Attorneys said the shippers associations do not oppose the idea of NVO contracts, but they are angry at being excluded by a portion of the rule that prohibits contracts between NVOs, or between NVOs and associations with NVO members.
"By this restriction, the commission has deprived small NVOS and their shippers associations of the benefits of this rule. They don't have the volume or mass of shipments to deal directly with vessel operators," said Alan F. Wohlstetter, who represents the International Shippers' Association, a group of household-goods shippers. "If the shipper is an NVOCC, then he can't do this. We're saying it is wrong and discriminatory to have transportation rates, terms and conditions vary with the identification of the shipper."
Wohlstetter argued that the FMC lacked the authority to exempt NVOs from the 1984 Shipping Act's requirement to maintain tariffs. He said the FMC also exceeded its authority under the Administrative Procedure Act. The court of appeals, which has jurisdiction over federal agencies, can overturn the rule if it determines that the FMC acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner.
"We support the process and the FMC's basic decision, but we sure don't want to see shippers associations taken out of the loop," said Ronald Cobert, general counsel for the American Institute of Shippers' Associations. He said it doesn't make sense that the commission would prohibit NVOs from working in concert, because rules for co-loading containers have been on the books for years. "Twenty years ago, the FMC told us shippers associations could and should have NVOs as members. Now they're basically backpedaling and to an extent taking away a position they had for many years."
Shippers associations exist to negotiate ocean service contract on behalf of their members. Their worst fear is losing shipper-members by having them picked off by NVOs that can offer better terms.
When the FMC proposed its rule last October, it said that allowing two NVOs to enter a service agreement could give them antitrust immunity, which is still the sole province of vessel operators. Commission attorneys cited court precedents to back up their assertion. Critics said the cases the FMC cited had no bearing on NVOs.
"The rule did not allow this because under judicial precedent, it would have provided antitrust immunity to concerted NVOCC activity, and would thus have reduced competition in the industry. This result would be contrary to the commission's statutory exemption authority," said Amy Larson, FMC general counsel. "The two petitions do not appear to present any new information or circumstances that could justify reconsideration of the commission's rule.
Larson said that when the commission approved the rule, it said it would continue to monitor it, and see if there were ways to accommodate or address concerns of shippers associations.
A coalition of NVOs and trade groups has lined up in support of the commission. The group is composed of UPS, BAX Global, FedEx, C.H. Robinson Worldwide, BDP International, the National Industrial Transportation League and the Transportation Intermediaries Association. After they filed individual petitions with the FMC in 2003 and 2004, several members of the group worked out a compromise that became the basis for the FMC's rule.
The shippers association attorneys said that the FMC's problem with NVOs contracting with NVOs could be solved without scrapping the entire rule. Wohlstetter said that any service agreement could certify that it did not restrict competition.

Apple unveils new iPad Air, Retina iPad mini, MacBook Pros and more
The invite said, "We still have a lot to cover." Apple wasn't joking about the "a lot" part. The company announced a pair of new iPads, updated MacBook Pros and new info on the cylindrical Mac Pro, and OS X Mavericks.
We understand the week's still young and not everyone has time to read the torrent of 150-word blog posts other technology blogs are pumping out. In the spirit of efficiency, we've compiled a guide to all of the new products Apple announced today. Which one is going to earn your hard-earned dollar this holiday season?
iPad Air (fifth-generation)
It's funny to think that just three years ago the iPad was laughed at by many as just a really big iPhone. The iPad isn't just a hit, it's a juggernaut. Many companies have flooded the market with "cheap" iPads that skimp on hardware and don't even get us started on how most Android apps still aren't optimized for tablets. The iPad is the undisputed king of all tablets.
Within the last few years we've seen the original iPad lose its convex rear and slim down to a mere 8.8mm thickness in the iPad 2. The iPad 3 brought a Retina display and the iPad 4 dumped the aging 30-pin connector for the sleeker and smaller Lightning port.
For the fifth-gen iPad, Apple's adopted the iPad mini's design with 43 percent thinner bezels, 7.5mm thickness (20 percent thinner) and weight of just one pound. The iPad Air also screams — it has the iPhone 5s' A7 processor (8x faster), the M7 co-processor, and 2x faster GPU performance (75x faster than original iPad). Wi-Fi performance is now faster, but not because of 802.11 ac; it's still 802.11 n. A 5-megapixel iSight camera, 720p HD FaceTime camera and dual microphones round out the new iPad Air. Battery life is still 10 hours.
The 9.7-inch iPad Air replaces the fourht-gen iPad and will come in Space Grey/Black and Silver/White and start at $499 for a 16GB model. A 4G LTE model will start at $629. It'll be available November 1. Interestingly enough, Apple's still keeping the iPad 2 around — non-Retina display and all for $399.

iPad mini
The iPad mini has been a runaway success for the simple fact that it's smaller, lighter and cheaper than the larger iPad. Despite its old as molasses iPad 2 internals and pixelated non-Retina display, crowds of Apple fans lined up to buy the tinier iPad mini last year.
As expected, the iPad mini has been revamped with a Retina display — 2048 x 1536 resolution, the A7 processor, 5-megapixel iSight/720p HD FaceTime camera an faster Wi-Fi antenna. Battery life remains the same at 10 hours. New Smart Covers come in five colors for $39 and new leather Smart Cases come in six colors for $79.
The iPad mini with Retina display comes starts at $399 for a 16GB model and $529 for a 16GB+4G LTE for $529. The iPad mini with Retina display goes on sale in November in white/silver and Space Grey/black. The non-Retina iPad mini remains but is now $30 cheaper starting at $299.

MacBook Pro with Retina display
Last updated in February, Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display notebook now boast fourth-gen Intel Haswell chips starting with a 2.4GHz i5 processor, Intel Iris chips that are 90% faster, 4GB of RAM, 128GB SSD and 9 hours of battery life. PCIe flash storage, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac and Thunderbolt 2 round out the 13-incher. It's also lighter at 3.46 pounds and slimmer at 0.71-inches thick. The 13-inch MBP with Retina display starts at $1,299, $200 cheaper than the previous model.
The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display starts at $1,999 and comes with 2.0GHz quad-core i7 processor, 8GB of DRAM, 256GB SSD, an NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (twice the graphics power of the previous model), Intel Iris Pro Graphics, Thunderbolt 2, and Wi-Fi 802.11 ac. Battery life is 8 hours on a single charge.
Both updated MacBook Pros are available starting today.

Mac Pro
Apple's top of the line Mac is almost here. Revealed in June at WWDC and hyped until now, the new redesigned Mac Pro finally has a proper availability and pricing: $2,999 in December. Like the short-lived G4 Cube, the Mac Pro ditches traditional desktop convention design for a cylindrical chassis that takes up one-eighth of the volume of previous Mac Pro towers. There's not much in the way internal customization, but the 3.7GHz quad-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, two workstation-class AMD FirePro D300 GPUs with 2GB of VRAM each, 12GB of DRAM, six Thunderbolt 2 ports, four USB 3.0 ports and 256GB of ultra fast PCIe-based flash storage and ECC RAM should provide creative professionals with a serious machine for all their design work.
Additionally, the Mac Pro is also super quite and super energy efficient. And as CEO Tim Cook alluded to earlier this year, the Mac Pro will be built in the U.S.

OS X Mavericks
As promised Apple's delivering OS X Mavericks on time. The latest Mac operating system brings some slick features from iOS such as iBooks, Maps and smarter notifications. Finder now has tabs and using multiple displays actually makes sense with each screen getting its own menu bar. Other nifty features include App Nap, a power saving feature, and Compressed Memory, an intelligent way to free up RAM.
So, when can you download Mavericks? Today. It'll cost only $0. Yep, it's F-R-E-E. That's free for everyone with an iMac and MacBook Pro from as far back as 2007, provided you have Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion installed.
