"I have a new manager who's actually from the music world," she tells TV Guide Online. "And there's somebody out in L.A. I'm not going to say who until everything's signed who's seemingly pretty interested in doing a serious record with me. So hopefully that will come together."
Between acting gigs, such as her upcoming February-sweeps Will & Grace guest spot, the former Madonna galpal always has incorporated original tunes and carefully chosen covers into her stage productions including her latest one-woman show, The Love Machine (which begins a limited run at Manhattan's Jane Street Theatre on December 27). However, she hasn't released a straight-up rock disc since 1994's Excuses for Bad Behavior, Part 1, and is eager to give pop tarts like Britney Spears an earful.
"What are you going to do that's what sells records," she muses. "That's what kids want to hear. But I think if I get the opportunity to do another album, it's going to be something evocative and great. In this atmosphere, that's the best you can do."

After recording a National League-best 96 victories during the regular season, the Washington Nationals will need one on Monday just to remain alive in their best-of-five Division Series versus the San Francisco Giants. Winning Game 3 will be tough against host San Francisco, which secured its NL-best 10th straight victory on the strength of a ninth-inning rally and Brandon Belt's homer nine frames later in a 2-1 triumph on Saturday.

Android Apps Secretly Sending GPS User Data to Advertisers
Researchers from Duke, Penn State, and Intel Labs confirm the process.
Privacy has been a long-held concern with the Android OS and the news that a significant number of popular apps sending GPS location data to advertisers certainly won't quell these concerns.
Ars Technica reports that researchers from Duke, Penn State and Intel Labs have confirmed that of the 30 popular applications they tested, half sent data to remote advertising servers without the users' knowledge. The researchers performed this test with an application called TaintDroid, named so because it uses dynamic taint analysis to detect and report when applications send sensitive information.
Any Android user who has installed an app knows that before installing, the app prompts the user with a list of phone features the app will be able to access. A user looks these over and if they approve of the features, approves the app and it installs. It's a safety feature designed to give users control and reveal permissions that might seem fishy.
But when an app already uses location features to function, there's no way of knowing what else the app will use those features for, based on the generic description.
OMGThats because I use rooted firmware, protecting from 3rd vendors software crap.

I got a Fitbit Flex for Father's Day....
I don't know how accurate it is but it sure is inspiring, as I took 11,153 steps today before taking it off when I went to shower. I do know it can be worn in the shower and pool, but I would rather not.
I only wish they made a bigger bracelet for it so I could attach it to my ankle when riding my bike. As I understand it, it counts arm swings for the pedometer, so I was thinking it might work well on an ankle for biking.
I have yet to really use the app with it for anything but walking, but I did enter my weight. Oh, and I did use the silent alarm function.
Pretty nifty little device!
I think you will enjoy your fitbit. There is something very motivating about using it to meet your activity goals.

Ace comedian Kapil Sharma who is climbing the ladder of success through his performance in the laughter show Comedy Nights with Kapil is extremely happy as the Comedy
King Kapil Sharma got a chance to celebrate his birthday with the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. Yes you all heard it right! The witty actor who turned a year older today celebrated his birthday with his team members of the show at midnight.
Kapil who is quite active on the social networking sites also tweeted about his birthday celebrations "Today i dont mind working on my bday bcoz the legend @SrBachchan is coming. The biggest gift ever on my bday. Thnk u god n love u maa."
Well it seems the cast and the crew of the show are working round the clock as the guest of honor is the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan. The actors are ensuring everything to be precise as this is the first time Big B is making an appearance on the show to promote his upcoming film Bhoothnath Returns.
But the entire cast and crew celebrated Kapil's birthday on the sets joyfully. Our source informed us, "Mad family of the show Comedy Nights with Kapil was called at the last night for the rehearsal and were told that they have to be present by 12 mid night on the stage. When all the actors of the show gathered on the stage to start their rehearsals, all the lights went off. As soon as the clock ticked12 entire set was lighten up and it was beautifully decorated and a huge cake was placed before Kapil. He was very happy and delighted with such a great surprise which he has got on his birthday. It was a surprise even for the all the actors as even they were not aware about the surprise and after cake cutting Kapil along with other actors went back to their rehearsals."
We contacted Upasana Singh to know more about their celebrations she said, "I won't be able to talk as we are doing rehearsal because today we will be shooting with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan."
We also contacted other actors but they remained unavailable as all were busy in shooting.
We wish
Kapil a very Happy Birthday and a great future ahead!

campaign tactics
Posted by Barry Silverstein on June 7, 2010 11:00 AM
Summer is a time for ice cream, and Baskin-Robbins is wasting no time scooping the market.
The world's largest chain of ice cream specialty shops is launching a multi-million dollar ad campaign in the U.S. featuring animated characters. The first ad, above, promotes its June flavor of the month, Baseball Nut, and introduces the character Humphrey Hound. Four additional animated commercials will run through the end of the year.Baskin-Robbins keeps a high profile. It has managed to score product placements in movies including Sex and the City and Shrek 2, as well as television shows like The Sopranos and The O.C.Across the pond, the ice cream maker is going head-to-head in the U.K. with such premium ice creams as Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Dazs by bringing four premium ice cream flavors to Morrisons, one of the UK's largest supermarket chains.
The move marks the first time the Baskin-Robbins brand has moved into a major supermarket, and the company is planning further expansion in the UK retail sales marketplace.Sixty-five year old Baskin-Robbins claims to have over 1,000 varieties in its "flavor library." In addition to producing products for sale in supermarkets and convenience stores, Baskin-Robbins operates a franchise business that boasts more than 6,000 retail outlets in 33 countries.
That's not just a lot of ice cream; it's a pretty cool business model, too.

Virtualization provides a lot of opportunities and advantages for SMBs. They can reduce their capital and operating expenses and use fewer servers for the same number of applications. But many SMBs are unfamiliar with virtualization and that was the key driver behind our latest SMB Twitter chat.
Last week, Symantec's SMB security experts, Dan Nadir and Elias AbuGhazaleh, engaged with Small Business Trends' Editor-in-Chief Anita Campbell for a Twitter chat about what SMBs need to know about virtualization. The chat covered a variety of topics including benefits, challenges, and how to get started.
The chat drew more than 100 participants which included SMB owners and thought leaders; and it produced more than 550 Tweets. Most importantly, we listened and learned a lot from SMBs directly: We learned they're eager to take advantage of the benefits of virtualized technology and hungry for information. We heard there is some confusion about virtualization vs. cloud, and so you'll see us doing more education in the future to help SMBs move forward. Thanks to all who participated!
In case you missed it, following are some sample questions from Anita, with the resulting responses from Dan (tweeting from @SymantecSMB) and Elias (@BE_Elias), as well as other participants:
What are the biggest benefits for SMBs of going virtual with technology?
· One of the best benefits we've seen is an improvement in efficiency because physical IT resources are simplified. (@SymantecSMB)
· Some of the top benefits SMBs have cited include reduced capital expenses & reduced operating expenses (@BE_Elias)
· How much IT know-how is required to virtualize on site? (@Robert_Brady)
· It is fairly simple utilizing #VMware or #HyperV, it is a simple installation (in my opinion) (@BE_Elias)
Does virtual technology automatically solve security issues –example: antivirus and firewall in servers?
· Previously implemented security tools may need to be reconfigured or replaced in order to maintain adequate protection (@SymantecSMB)
What about data backup in a virtual environment? Concerns? Benefits?
· Carefully consider the user interface. A simpler solution will save a significant amount of time in the long run (@BE_Elias)
· Nearly half of SMBs would lose 40% of their data in disaster, acc to Symantec research: http://t.co/aZ4TQAxm #SMBChat >frm 2012 chat (@TJMcCue)
· You will want a solution to manage physical and virtual backups centrally, eliminating the need for two processes (@BE_Elias)
What are some best practices if you are considering virtualization but haven't yet jumped in?
· You can work with a consultant/reseller on a strategy. They can help determine your needs and help with implementation (@SymantecSMB)
· Determine what hardware and software you want to virtualize and how many users will need to be accomodated (@Symantec SMB)
· What size/type of organizations benefit most from virtualization? Industries or # staff (@CathyWEbSavvyRP
· Generally, the more physical servers you have, the more compelling virtualization will be (@BE_Elias)
· Develop guidelines and assess data protection & security needs. Decide if you should move to cloud for these services (@Symantec SMB)
· Research, research, research. Read reviews and make sure that you make the best choice to fit your needs (@tiroberts)
Thanks again for a great chat, and we're looking forward to the next one! In the meantime, we want to hear from you so please feel free to leave your thoughts and comments below, and don't forget to follow us on our Twitter handle @SymantecSMB. If there is a topic you'd like us to consider for our next #SMBchat, let us know.

"Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune." -- William James
Time surely is flying as we are head first into the spring semester and more than halfway through our season. I have been busy taking care of business in the classroom and am on track to graduate next spring, which is an exciting but scary thought. The whole reason I went to a smaller NAIA school was to be happy and more relaxed with my daily workload. Honestly, I can say ...

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party leaders are still maintaining that party patriarch LK Advani is not upset. Senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj met Advani on Saturday, a day after Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was anointed as party's PM candidate, and said, "No one is upset."
It seems efforts are still on to bring LK Advani on board. Sushma Swaraj along with Ananth Kumar met Advani on Saturday. This after Advani skipped the Parliamentary board meeting in protest and wrote a letter to BJP President Rajnath Singh, expressing pain at the way he is running the party.
In fact, after being anointed, Modi too went to meet Advani on Friday immediatley after the announcement and thanked the patriarch. "The guidance and hard work of Advani and Vajpayee, and the work and wishes of the BJP cadre will make the party successful in the upcoming elections," Modi said on Friday.
Advani not only skipped the party's Parliamentary Board meet on Friday but also expressed his disappointment over party President Rajnath Singh's style of functioning.
In a letter written to Rajnath, he said, "I had expressed my pain to you and I am disappointed with the way you are running the party." "I have told you, I will think about coming to BJP Parliamentary Board meet to tell all the members what I feel now. I have decided that it will be better I don't come," he wrote
Advani had been against the anointment of Modi as PM candidate. Adamant over his decision, Advani had suggested that any decision on Modi's anointment should be taken after Assembly elections later in November 2013. He had said that announcement of BJP's PM candidate before Assembly elections of Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi would affect the party's performance in the polls.
He had been very vocal against Modi's anointment as PM candidate after the Gujarat Chief Minister was made BJP's campaign committee chief in June, 2013 at the Goa meet.
Earlier, after Modi's anointment as campaign committee chief Advani resigned from all posts he held in the BJP. However, he later took his decision back after BJP President Rajnath Singh and other senior leaders succeeded in placating him.

Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE:AEM)
Agnico-Eagle Mines explores, develops, and produces gold in the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Finland.
I'm having trouble laughing at these gold mining stocks. I can only see the lost savings of all the newbs buying into this prop job, One of my friend's dad went all-in long SLV at 19.50 last summer in his IRA. That cost him a good 150k. All the evil people (avoiding expletives for all the CAPSters with sensitive ears) touting and promoting these fraudulent companies at 3x their real value better enjoy sulfer cause their afterlife ain't going to be fun. Selling junk to uniformed people puts you in the lowest rungs of hell in my opinion. It's almost as evil to tout GG at 30 as it is to tout RPRX at 11... large losses are guaranteed either way.
Gold at all time highs and GG @ 40.
When I hear that someone lost his entire retirement on Enron or someone went all-in long on SLV, I wonder
Ignoramousii and their moneys are eventually parted.
Gold and silver seem similar but are quite different. The entire annual gold production, worldwide, is about 50 million ounces. That means, 50 million Indians could buy one ounce each, which would consume one year's production.
This is not far fetched. Europe just printed a TRILLION DOLLARS to bail out Greece.
Also, when banks or auto makers pay back their TARP bailout funds, the $$ are not removed from circulation.
Owning gold or stock in gold miners is an effective and available and proven method to preserve wealth.
FINALLY someone who bought SLV at $19.50 is not likely to find a better investment. There's an enormous amount of information on the web, including Motley Fool, for anyone with a little initiative. In the words of Yogi Berra, You can observe a lot by looking.
Your friends dad was and idiot. If it cost him 150k, i guess you mean he sold it at about $8, which means, he bought the absolute high and sold the absolute low. thats smart investing. now that silvers near $30, I bet he feels stupid. tell him to seek advice from a professional. When my pipes burst, i call a plumber, cause I'm a financial manager, i dont know anything about plumbing. most people wouldnt attempt to operate on themselves. thats just common sense, something people are lacking these days.
If your friend's dad held on he made a bundle. Last time I checked slv was pushing $30. He paid $19? I'll take that kind of "pain" all day long!!!
silvers now at 40 guess he was smart but impatient. this i can have a laugh at.

She serves sexy mermaid realness — swimming underwater in an evening gown, no less — before perching in a tree and singing like the most beautiful bird in the rainforest. If that's not enough glamour how about Trey Songz' magnificent six pack or a nude Mimi covered in glitter? Let me press repeat.

What amazes me is how big Webber looks sitting on that sidepod!!! How does he squeeze that lanky frame in and not have his knees around his ears ?

GREENING COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AT WARP SPEEDMay 30, 2012 on 12:19 am | In Green Building, Green Workplace, LEED, Trends, U.S. Government, Uncategorized | 3 Comments
We evolve and we learn. When it comes to building efficiency, we are advancing at warp speed. The Department of Energy has revealed that buildings meeting the new 2010 energy efficiency standard will conserve 18.5% more energy than structures using the previous 2007 DOE standard. It's like making the jump to hyperspace.
The DOE did some pretty serious study to come up with the new codes. For its findings, DOE simulated 16 representative building types in 15 U.S. climate locations. In addition, they analyzed the energy codes published by the American National Standards Institute/American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America.
The evolved 2010 standard covers a wide spectrum of the energy-related components and systems in buildings ranging from simple storage units to complex energy usage locations like hospitals and laboratories. The size of the structures also ranged from under 1,000 square feet to the largest buildings in the world.
States are expected to review Standard 90.1, Energy Standard for Buildings and update their building code to meet or exceed the energy efficiency of the new standard within two years. Certification statements by the states are due October 18, 2013.
California requires our state-developed commercial code the 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, comprising Title 24, Parts 1 and 6, of the California Code of Regulations.
The DOE boasts that the newer version of the standard contains 19 positive impacts on energy efficiency. Among the modifications are new requirements for daylighting controls under skylights; increased use of heat recovery; cool roofs in hot climates; skylights and daylighting in some building types; reduced ventilation energy; supply air temperature reset for non-peak conditions; efficiency requirements for data centers; control of exterior lighting; and occupancy sensors for many specific applications.
Over a 20-year span, green buildings can $53 to $71 per square foot back on investment. LEED and Energy Star certified buildings achieve significantly higher rents, sale prices and occupancy rates as well as lower capitalization rates potentially reflecting lower investment risk…and green buildings make the world a better place.

AB 1103 – California's nonresidental building energy program implementation delayed 3 to 4 years
Will these proposed dates in 2013 and 2014 be delayed yet again? What underlying influences are driving these delays? Perhaps the answer is found in the fledgling real estate economy and California's projected budget shortfall of $16 Billion. Perhaps California is losing its will to go green while it flounders in a sea of red ink.

Six New Partners Join the Better Buildings Challenge
The Obama Administration announced on June 14 that six major U.S. companies are joining the Better Buildings Challenge, which encourages private sector leaders across the country to commit to reducing the energy use in their facilities by at least 20% by 2020. Starbucks Coffee Company, Staples, and the J.R. Simplot Company will upgrade more than 50 million square feet of combined commercial building space, including 15 manufacturing facilities. Financial allies Samas Capital and Greenwood Energy will make $200 million in financing available for energy efficiency upgrades through this national leadership initiative. And utility partner Pacific Gas and Electric has committed to offering expanded energy efficiency programs for its commercial customers, who are responsible for 30 million square feet of commercial building space.
The Better Buildings Challenge is part of a comprehensive strategy to improve the competitiveness of U.S. industry and business by helping companies save money by and reducing energy waste in commercial and industrial buildings. Under the challenge, private sector CEOs, university presidents, and state and local leaders commit to taking aggressive steps to reducing energy use in their facilities and sharing data and best practices with others around the country. With the addition of today's partners and allies, nearly 70 organizations have now joined the Better Buildings Challenge. Together, these organizations account for more than 1.7 billion square feet of building space, including more than 300 manufacturing plants, and they have committed almost $2 billion to support energy efficiency improvements nationwide
To LEED or not to LEED, that is the question. The government wants your green opinion > through April 6th. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking public comments on a long-awaited recommendation regarding green building rating systems. Go to http://www.gsa.gov/gbcertificationreview and share your opinion.

Raspberry Pi Synthesizer – live demo (Oscillators and Phase Distortion)
Background video information below:
You lot should be happy that it was a grim, wet, windy Bank Holiday as I got to plug in my Pi and make a video. Sorry the frame rate of the second half is low, it's my Mac not being fast enough to capture everything.
So – here's an indication of quite how rich a single-oscillator synth can be (as in, I left OSC B cranked down to zero throughout). OSC A is set to a 'sin' wave (which does actually have a *little* bit of harmonic content as it's not really a sin, it's a short power series), but all the amazing richness comes from manipulating the phase of the oscillator during each cycle of the waveform. An EG is used to stretch and squash the phase over the lifetime of each note, then the LFO is pulled in to add a warbly, squishy immenseness.
And no explicit frequency manipulation – everything here is being induced by messing with the phase within each cycle of the waveform, the fundamental is not being manipulated, at all. Things get beyond awesome when you add in pitch modulation at the same time as Phase Distortion.
Alesis Andromeda Tutorial – Oscillators
'gstormelectro' continues to provide us with good tutorials on the Alesis Andromeda, in this one he checks out the oscillators:
In this video I will examine the OSCILLATOR and PRE-FILTER MIX sound modules in more detail. I will introduce and explain topics for Oscillator FM, Filter FM, SYNC, Ring Modulation and Filter Feedback. And I will also show how to program a couple of basic patches along the way.
0:10 Introduction
0:35 Tune Page
1:32 Wave Page
2:39 ENV1 Page
3:13 Patch: Classic Or Deviant Sync
4:56 OSC2FM Page
7:57 NZEXT Page
8:48 Modulations + Control Routes
9:49 Patch: Mod-Wheel PWM
11:23 Pre-Filter Mix: Ring Mod + Filter Feedback
12:14 Closing
Join me for my next video which will cover the Filters in more depth, including examples of Filter FM and Filter Feedback. Thanks for watching!
Two Moogs and five oscillators
A short video showing the powerful sound of 5 analog oscillators and actually being able to play more than one note. Simply adding another Moog via a MIDI cable, using last note priority on the Moog SP, you get to play 2 notes without having to go into the menu and setup a chain (both Moogs have this ability in the menu – Voyager 1, Voyager2 etc and the same deal with the SP).
A rather quick and dirty video – but you get the benefit of having your ear drums pummeled by the 5 osc's

Roland Jupiter 4 Self Oscillating Filter and Strymon TimeLine ICE mode
Nice video featuring the first Jupiter synth from Roland.
All sounds from Jupiter 4 are produced by its self oscillating filter with VCO waveforem set to "OFF". Modulating filter with ENV-1 and LFO and adding a little noise from time to time. Strymon TimeLine is being used in ICE mode with 1.5 octave interval.
The first Jupiter synth. It was among one of the first poly synthesizers (4 individual voices which could be synced together for one fat monophonic lead), it had a pitch wheel that could be assigned to the VCA, VCF, VCO or all together, there are 8 memory locations and a cool arpeggiator – the arpeggiator can in the Duran Duran classic, "Rio". It also has a very slow LFO for those ever-so-long filter sweeps. Pretty good for 1978!
Not so cool however, are the 10 preset sounds which sound nothing like the piano, brass or strings they claim to be. The placement of all the preset buttons below the keyboard can be inconvenient, especially while playing it. And as with most old analog synths, the Jupiter-4's tuning can go out often. Still it is a nice analog synth for creating weird trippy analog sounds.
Make Noise DPO Dual Prismatic Oscillator. Wave forms and simple sequence
"Here's a demo for the Wigglers out there who demand it. The new Make Noise Dual Prismatic Oscillator.
Disclaimer: I'm functioning on about three hours restless sleep. UPS man knocked on my door surprisingly early and well… I couldn't bring myself to go back to bed.
What we have here is a quick demo showing the raw wave forms from both sections of the DPO. Then some tweaking of the knobs and the modes. Then I use the Make Noise Pressure Points/Brains combo to construct a very simple sequence. Only other modules in use are the Make Noise Optomix (Low Pass Gate) and a mixer. There is some wave folding and FM modulation going on during the sequence. I hope it's pretty self-explanatory. I will be doing a proper tutorial when I've had time to spend with the DPO and hopefully borrow a nice HD camera. Until then enjoy!"
Oscillator – new and free audio-controlled synthesizer
SineVibes has released Oscillator– an audio-controlled synthesizer for the Mac – as a free download.
Oscillator is an AudioUnit effect plugin that lets you turn any audio into sci-fi effects, glitches and noises. It is based on a multi-waveform oscillator with up to six voices and variable frequency stepping, whose parameters are modulated using the input signal's dynamics.
The oscillator output can then be processed via effects which include ring modulator, sample rate degrader and bit crusher. This lets Oscillator turn any audio signal into a wide variety of sounds and effects.
Oscillator is a free download at the SineVibes site.
Tips & Tricks: Animoog and Moog Little Phatty combined together
Short video showing the process of adding a third oscillator from another device to the Moog Little Phatty. In this case, the additional oscillator comes from the iPad iOS app ANIMOOG.
Patch Chord in context
Using the Erthenvar Patch Chord to generate chords in a Eurorack system. Visit http://erthenvar.com
Erthenvar Patch Chord – a bank of 25 "Oscillator Controlled Oscillators", which can be used to generate chords in a Eurorack system.
The Patch Chord continously samples the cycle duration and duty cycle of the input waveform. It outputs 12 semitone steps above the input note, 12 semitone steps below the input note, and the root note itself (available from two output jacks). All outputs are pulse waveforms with continuously variable pulse width.
An oversized tri-color LED spans the color spectrum in each octave, so each note has a unique color! The input jack is passively multipled to an output jack so the visual effects of the LED can be had even if the module is not part of the current patch.
There four modulation types available, each with an input jack and a three-position switch. The switch can turn off the modulation, allow the CV value to control the parameter, or turn on the modulation. The modulation jacks are all DC coupled and respond to audio rate signals, though the tracked waveform has a lower limit of around 20 seconds per cycle.
- The SQR modulation forces the tracked duty cycle to 50%, making all of the 25 outputs into square waves
- The INT modulation changes the relationship between each output from a semitone step to an integer or harmonic step
- The ZERO modulation resets all of the output counters to 0, similar to a sync function
- The HOLD modulation stops tracking the input and keeps the last counted cycle duration and duty cycle values

For the original cast of Teen Mom, Catelynn Lowell, Farrah Abraham, Maci Bookout and Amber Portwood, the story has come to an end. On the other hand, these are real women whose personal stories will carry on and play out beyond the camera's view. Maybe that's why Tuesday night's season finale (after four seasons) didn't feel like much of an ending.
Sure, when the volatile Portwood became unhinged during yet another hostile argument with baby daddy, Gary Shirley, it was some series-finale-sized drama. (Shirley lost his temper, called his baby mama a slut puppy, and swore that Portwood would never see their daughter, Leah, again. Then they made up and made cupcakes together.) But fans who have followed the media coverage also know what happened next: Portwood is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for felony drug possession. So in her case, it felt like the series ended somewhere in the middle of a downward spiral. And that's not exactly a satisfying ending.
As for Bookout, we saw her ruminate on the poor choices that led her to her life today, slogging her way through college as a single mom while fighting Ryan Edwards for custody of their son Bentley. From the beginning, Bookout has maintained her desire to get the word out to other teens about the struggles she's faced since getting pregnant at 16. In this clip from the finale, she leaves viewers with one last mention of this message. "I was young and dumb," she says, with a sigh.
Abraham made no such confession in the finale, but the cast member -- who came to be known for her contentious relationship with her mother Debra -- finished out the series on a positive note. While Debra was watching baby Sophia, Farrah made straight A's in her first quarter of culinary school. In the finale, she cried tears of joy to be reunited with her daughter.
As the show closed up shop, Lowell and Tyler Baltierra, the couple who chose to give up their baby, Carly, for adoption, seemed to be the most settled in their lives. Though Baltierra expressed some regret for giving Carly up, they both concluded that it was the right decision. Now they are married and for the time being, they appear to be the most stable of all the Teen Mom couples. Sadly, Tyler's abusive father Butch didn't fall in line to complete this attempt at an emotionally healthy family tableau. But then, if there's one thing we've learned from this show, there's no such thing as a purely happy ending.

The people affected were those like me; strong believers in our US Constitution and our 2nd amendment rights. Somehow I wound up in the crosshairs of this firestorm, and that's not a problem. Now I can take action. Of the hundreds of advertisers with WRAL, some blogger or bloggers instructed it's readers to contact me and only me, to let me know that my ad dollars were funding WRAL's attack on North Carolina gun owners and their rights. I don't disagree with that sentiment, plus there are many more merchants that spend much more to advertize on WRAL than me so I'm sure these bloggers are not done with their work. As for me and my company, I'm a concerned citizen and strong believer in our constitutional rights. I have made contact with WRAL and I have instructed them to remove anything that bears the Chris Leith name. At this point they have chosen not to pull the article and therefore I have severed ties with them. I really hate that this situation has occurred and I hope my actions will speak louder than words.

Huge upside and great investment for value investors. New Seekingalpha article " tells all..."GigaMedia Ltd: CEO Recently Bought 365,000 Shares And Guided For 30% Revenue Growth"
Go to seekingalpha site and search for GIGM ...it's the top story.
GIGM CEO filed October 28 that he purchased 365,000 shares of common stock becoming the largest % insider buy of any CEO of a Chinese public company trading in.
The company plans to launch six new games products during 4Q 2014: four new mobile games, one MMO, and one social games platform.
Management expects 4Q 2014 revenues to increase 20-30 percent to approximately $3.0 million to $3.5 million, boosted by new game products and a small increase in cloud revenues.
Total revenues and gross margins are expected to grow substantially starting in 4Q 2014 and continuing into 2015 and beyond due to the combination of: 1) expanding and capitalizing opportunities in several new Asian regions thus increasing addressable markets by at least 10-fold, 2) shifting away from products licensed by other developers towards self-developed products (social casino platforms, mobile games and MMOs)..
GigaMedia Ltd. Finished 3Q 2014 with cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities-current, and the market value of GigaMedia's holdings of a listed game company as of September 30, 2014 totaled approximately $80.4 million, or approximately $1.47/share. Discounting $19 million in debt, the net cash/share results in $1.1/share, or 10% higher than the current share price.
I see $2+ after upcoming "January Effect" because new games will be announced staring next week. Don't miss the boat!!

Andrew Rawson to fill Milton selectmen vacancy
Tuesday, August 5, 2014
MILTON — After the sudden and unexpected resignation of Selectman Bob Bridges at the last Board of Selectmen meeting, current Selectmen Mike Beaulieu and Tom Gray appointed a fill-in until elections in March.
During the June 16 selectmen meeting, Fire Chief Nicholas Marique approached the board seeking opinions as to which direction the Fire Department should take. Marique said during the meeting that the department could either move to a new location in Milton or present the building costs of a new station in multiple parts.
The board approved the contracts, which gave the fire department $143,000 to complete the new station's design. The design is planned to appear on the March 2015 ballot. If passed, bidding will begin in December of that year.
At the June 16 board of selectmen meeting, Beaulieu detailed his proposed plan, explaining he will use two highway department workers and two private residents to assist him with the project.

The following document describes why compensation is required for flow cytometry and how to apply it. Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions and software manual for a more detailed compensation procedure for the instrument you are using.
What is compensation?
All fluorochromes have excitation and emission spectra. The excitation spectrum is a range of light wavelengths that add energy to a fluorochrome, causing it to emit light in another range of wavelengths, the emission spectrum. Within a flow cytometer, the appropriate ranges of excitation and emission wavelengths are selected by bandpass filters. However, when emission spectra overlap, fluorescence from more than one fluorochrome may be detected. To correct for this spectral overlap, a process of fluorescence compensation is used. This ensures that the fluorescence detected in a particular detector derivesis soley from the fluorochrome that is being measured.
In the example below, following excitation with 488 nm light, PE emission is largely detected in the detector specific for PE but the emission tail lies within the range of the bandpass filter used for detection of PE-Cy5. This will be seen as "false positive" signals in the PE-Cy5 channel and fluorescence compensation is needed to correct for this overlap.
Example summary:
- Run a sample stained only with a PE-labeled antibody. Observe the signal in both PE and PE-Cy5 channels.
- Adjust the compensation settings until no PE signal is seen in the PE-CY5 channel (see the procedure below).
Essentially what the software is now doing in the PE-Cy5 channel would be the following:
(PE-Cy5 + PE overlap) – (PE overlap) = accurate PE-Cy5 results
General procedure:
The procedure for setting correct fluorescence compensation is essentially the same on any cytometer but there are differences between the various available makes and models which means it is difficult to provide a 'one size fits all' protocol. However, the following guidelines should be suitable in most cases. We would recommend to review the flow cytometer manufacturer's instructions for more information and specific guidelines for compensation using your particular machine.
- Ensure that the cytometer is performing within specification using standard beads.
- Set voltages for fluorescence channels using an unstained sample. Forward scatter and side scatter should be adjusted so that the cell population is clearly delineated. Dead cells, clumps and debris should be excluded from further analysis.
- There are several rules that should be followed in order for correct compensation to be set. Compensation controls should contain both a positive and a negative population. The positive should be at least as bright as anything that will be encountered in the experiment and should form at least 10% of the population. The autofluorescence of the positive population before staining should be the same as the negative control. If this is not possible using a biological system, consider the use of compensation beads to set compensation.
- Compensation is correctly set when the median of the negative population is equal to the median of the positive population in the spillover channel. For example, if using a positive FITC-stained sample to apply compensation to the PE channel, the median of the negative and the FITC-positive populations should be equal in the PE channel. On a FITC vs. PE dot plot, place a box around the negative population and another around the positive population. In a statistics box, adjust the PE-%FITC level until the PE medians are equal. With modern digital systems the use of a bi-exponential display is advised.
- Repeat for all channels into which FITC leaks.
- Repeat for all single color controls.
- Compensation levels may be set live (either manually or via software "wizards") or this can be performed offline. In all cases, though, the single color control settings should be saved to allow post-acquisition compensation or adjustment to be performed.
It is also important to remember that the controls used to set compensation are used solely for that purpose. They should not automatically be used to set the negative level of fluorescence.
Tips for compensation:
- For each of the fluorochromes used in the test samples, a single color positive control is required for compensation.
- Each control should ideally be made up of a population of negative or unstained cells and a population of single color control positive cells. Both the positive and the negative cells should have the same level of background autofluorescence. Ideally, they will be the same type of cell.
- As a general rule, compensate with the fluorochromes from the far-red end of the spectrum (higher wavelength), step-wise down to those fluorochromes at the lower end of the spectrum (lower wavelength). Do not forget to check the compensation in all channels. Although most of the overlap will occur in the range on the higher wavelength side of the peak emission, due to the shape of the spectral emission curve, there may also be some bleed through/ overlap to the lower wavelength range, below the peak emission. This will become more of an issue as more fluorochromes are used.
- Compensation can be difficult if there is a wide range of fluorescence intensities in negative populations, which in turn can compromise sensitivity.
- Some fluorochrome combinations should be avoided if possible (e.g., APC and PE-Cy5), given the high degree of emission overlap.
- Ideally, the positive and negative populations in the control samples should both be large, well defined and well separated. However, if you are looking for a rare population or have a very limited number of cells this might not be possible. There are some ways to overcome this problem:
a. Use different cells for your compensation controls. For example, if the test samples are primary tissue in limited supply, find a cell line that expresses the markers of interest and use these for the compensation.
b. If a marker of interest is rare or possibly absent in the control cells, it is better to use a different antibody, directed against a more common marker, but carrying the same fluorochrome as will be used in the test. CD45 antibodies are often used for this purpose when studying rare lymphocyte markers. It is important to note however that exactly the same fluorochrome should be used. Tandem dyes (e.g., PE-Cy5, APC-Cy7) are more problematical due to variations in chemical conjugation; if a tandem conjugate is being used, e.g. PE-Cy5, the same batch of tandem should be used.
c. Use compensation beads. If the markers of interest are rare or absent on/in the control cells, you can still use the antibody if you substitute compensation beads for the cells. Compensation beads are polystyrene micro particles that bind to rat or mouse light chain Ig antibodies. (Check which ones are correct for your antibodies). Beads with no binding capacity are also available and can be used as a negative control to determine background fluorescence, ensuring that clear positive and negative populations are present in all compensation controls.

The biggest threat to the open internet is Apple's stranglehold over apps development, not an end to so-called net neutrality, according to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.
Speaking today at Bristol University, Wales said the app model is "a real danger", whereas net neutrality fears "are largely theoretical".
"The debate is a highly overblown issue," said Wales in a response to question about his personal view of net neutrality. "A lot of the things that people are afraid of are in reality a long way from happening. The real threat comes from the apps model."
On the open internet anyone can develop software and give it away or sell it. "But in the apps model, you have to get Apple's permission," said Wales. "That choke point is very dangerous. It's not theoretical like a network operator potentially shutting out Skype, it's real and it's happening now."
Championing legislation to promote net neutrality is "well-intentioned but naïve" and likely to suppress innovation, he added.

We are quite a ways into my RE project and had most of the same problems and criticism as you. One big thing in my opinion is that the spinner is too small (as you also stated) and does not look that good. the next american size up is a little too big, cannot find a correct metric spinner anywhere ( 10 cm.) . the whole cowl thing was designed and executed quite poorly.
Any suggestions, it appears by your pictures that you didn't junk the kit spinner but used ?!

I agree, if Piccoli were to focus on improving any part of this model, it should be the cowl. It seems as if it was an after thought.
Here's a few more pictures showing the spinner better. I also made an aerial for the 2005.

Thanks Peter,
I think I will be flying mine within a month, will let you know how it behaves.
The paint is quite thick (chips easy) and makes the plane a bit heavy, so wing loading might be worse then it appears.
I bought electric retracts from "Wingspan retracts" seem to be high quality.
The Black Horse Macchi 200 is out and a friend of mine "Veltro" bought it in S.Ca. and seems impressed, he has a thread on it in RC universe. He also is putting together an RE 2005 and will have a thread on it soon.
P.S I guess the weather up there still has you grounded!

Yup, still grounded up this way, although, it is improving day by day. Most of the snow has melted here and the day temps have been on the + side of the themometer, but there are now shallow lakes on most of the fields. I haven't checked out the club's field yet, but I would imagine it is waterlogged like the rest. it will probably be 3 or 4 weeks before things dry up....that is unless we get the typical spring snow storm....

Hi Peter,
I am having a dear friend of mine build it for me, since I am totally incompetent at building. I fly OK probably because I am afraid to break things. This friend has already built for me a IMP Macchi 205 (nightmare kit, almost threw it in the trash a couple of times), but after a lot of work and over 2 years it came out quite nice (85 in.w.s.). He also has also scratch built a Macchi 202 1/6 scale for me from plans. I still haven't flown them, since they are quite rare. Now with the new ARF's I will be able to fly with less fear.
My friend in S. Cal says good things about the Black Horse MC 200 and I plan to pick one up in the next 2 weeks, they plan to import only a limited number. Don't know if it's too big for electric?, since I assume you don't fly gas.?! As I said before I have worn out 2 VQ Macchi 205, and now happy that there are more choices. The quality on the RE is not the best as we know...half shinny half opaque, big cowl etc.etc. and I do hope that Piccole Ali will improve the kit as time goes by, otherwise this will be, my one and only RE. I went with 90 deg. retracts, no reason to complicate things, but my friend Veltro went with 95. I will post photos soon as I figure out how to do it.

Hello Peter,
I am building this kit for Saetta and have encountered a problem with the fit of the wing to fuse. Picture 1 shows the wing sitting in the saddle. Notice the flap to fuse edge. It is off by over an inch. Pic 2 shows the wing centered on fuse. Notice the wing is on top of the fuse on one side and there is a gap on the other. I checked wing tip to tail and the second pic is correct. One of the wing bolts fits here and the other is off 1/4" Did yours have this problem? The gap at the trailing edge wing joint is shipping damage
Thank You,

Wow! I did have a small misalignment issue with one of the bolt holes, but nothing like what you are experiencing.
The wing itself, on mine, lines up perfectly in the saddle and also from wing tip to wing tip; all I had to do was enlarge the misaligned bolt hole by maybe 30 or 40 thou in order for the bolt to go through.
Is the center-line of your fuselage out of true or is the saddle not correct?

It was the saddle molding that was incorrect. Sorry I have not gotten back to sooner but I have been correcting the issue. I had to remove the rear of the saddle with a Dremel cutoff disk, reinforced the hole it left and I filled it with auto body filler and reshaped it to fit the wing. Just a couple of days extra work.There is still a twist at the wing mount but it is OK when the hold down bolts are tightened. Every thing lines up very well now.
Saetta loves his Italian planes so I have to make this one right and he will be my friend for life...........

5 Natural Gas Stock Trades That Look Past Low Prices
Golar LNG
Golar LNG (GLNG) recently had to retrofit three-decade old vessels to meet demand for its natural gas shipping services.
Golar is another case of where investors can bet on the long-term secular trend: If the U.S. natural gas export market takes off that could be a huge driver for the LNG shipping companies.There is an important caveat here: the shipping sector does tend to attract a lot of hot money, and investors often chase short-term trends in the market, such as an increase in day rates and exogenous events that throw expected supply and demand out of balance. That has happened in Golar's market, where day rates have more than doubled since the beginning of 2011 and Japan's need for increased natural gas imports in the wake of the Fukushima disaster created an unexpected opportunity. Previous to the January move to retrofit 35 year-old vessels because demand was higher than expected, Golar and its peers had been laying up ships. That's still the case for dry bulk shippers, many of which have just started to rally from the 52-week lows at which they started 2012, while Golar tested new highs. Golar has been on such a nice run that investors recently took some profits, and shares are flat year-to-date. There is still some upside potential in day rates, but ultimately there will be a new ship building cycle in 2013 and 2014 and that could bring an end to the trend. Golar doesn't have the opportunity to increase its ship capacity in the near-term -- unless through acquisition. That's why an increase natural gas export market from the U.S. could be a wildcard in keeping the LNG shipping sector trade from rolling over.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with both of these wheel sets. I am getting a cannondale supersix 5 and considering changing the wheels set. I have a 2010 Mavic ksyrium elite kicking around but I can grab a pair of the spinergys for cheap. I ride about 90 miles per week through all weather conditions in philadelphia. Never any racing, just want to keep up with the club rides. Any input would be appreciated.

Chatter: 'Design Star' Leslie Ezelle
By Jjannise
"I went to a reunion like two years after I had cheered, and somehow a gal had found out about it. I was out to my close friends, but not to everyone. So, I was still uncomfortable with the terminology, and I didn't really want those girls to know. This gal comes running from across the football field yelling, "Oh my God, Leslie! I can't believe you're gay!!" Screaming at the top of her lungs. I was dying."
--Former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader (DCC) Leslie Ezelle, the first openly gay female contestant on HGTV's Design Star, on what it was like coming out to her DCC teammates. Read a full interview with Leslie at Shewired.com.
