They show others that we are proud to be part of a worldwide organization that has helped develop boys into good leaders for many years. Here are a few tips for parents about what the well dressed Cub Scout wears. The hat, shirt, and neckerchief are the most visible aspect of the Cub Scout uniform. The distinctive blue color makes Cub Scouts stand out as someone special. The patches on the uniform identify the unit or group the boy belongs to as well as his personal accomplishments or achievements like rank awards and arrow points. These awards are sewn onto the shirt. Cub Scouts can usually get three years of wear from a Cub Scout Shirt. This is important as your son will be wearing his uniform to all Cub Scout Den Meetings, Pack Meetings and activities unless the Class B uniform is designated (Pack T-Shirt is worn to clean ups and some Summertime activities). The official Cub Scout blue trousers or shorts are another distinctive part of the Cub Scout uniform. Worn with the official Cub Scout belt, socks complete the uniform. (Note, Cub Scout belt loops fit only the Cub Scout Web Belt.)

Included in Annual Dues Important Changes to the Boy Scouts of America's Youth Protection Training Policies Youth safety is the No. 1 concern of the BSA. To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implementing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies: Effective June 1, 2010: Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers. New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins. Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer's Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered. To ensure these policies are fully implemented, please take the following steps: If you have not taken Youth Protection Training within the past two years, please log on to MyScouting and take the training. Be sure to have your member ID number. The number can be found on your Boy Scouts of America membership card. If you do not know your member ID number, contact your unit leader or committee chairman. Your council can also assist you. If you have taken Youth Protection Training online but did not input your member ID number, please log back on to the Training section of MyScouting and input your member ID so the training will be linked with your records. If you have taken Youth Protection Training within the past two years but did not take the course online, log on to MyScouting to ensure your records are up to date, or contact your council and have them verify that your Youth Protection Training records are accurate. Finally, please share these important changes with other Scouters. Youth Protection Training is available online at http://www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx. To find out more about the Youth Protection policies of the Boy Scouts of America and how to help Scouting keep your family safe, see the information available in any of the Cub Scouting or Boy Scouting handbooks, or go to http://www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx.

Baden‐ Powell served in the British Army from 1876 until 1910 in India and Africa. Several of his military books, written for the army, were also read by boys. Based on those earlier books, he wrote Scouting for Boys, published in 1908. During writing, he tested his ideas through a camping trip on Brownsea Island with the local Boys' Brigade and sons of his friends. That began on August 1, 1907, which is now seen as the beginning of Scouting. Scouting for Boys was published in six installments in 1908, and has sold approximately 150 million copies as the fourth bestselling book of the 20th century. Boys and girls spontaneously formed Scout troops and the Scouting Movement had inadvertently This portrait of Baden-Powell is from the 1929 painting by David started, first as a national, and soon an international Jagger.

It may only be the midway point of the season, but Robinson Cano's father is already looking ahead to what uniform his son will be wearing next season. The All-Star will become available for free agency when his contract expires this offseason, but Jose Cano, a former major league pitcher, believes that the second baseman will be staying put in New York. "I think he is coming back," Jose Cano said told reporters in the American League clubhouse prior to Tuesday's All-Star Game. "I don't think he is going to go anywhere else. Hopefully, he can stay here." "I have confidence that the Yankees are going to come up with something good in the end. I hope he can stay here. It is close to home and it only three hours. If he goes someplace else, it might be five or six hours. I don't want to go there. But it is not my decision. He has to make that decision." The younger Cano was more tight-lipped about his future — as he has been all season — and didn't answer any questions about his future or his contract. His father went on to say that his son could become the new face of the franchise and eventually become a captain after Derek Jeter's reign ends. "He could be the leader," Jose Cano said. "Robinson is very smart and quiet; he is not going to talk too much. He is going to talk when he needs to talk — he is doing everything straight. Robbie signs, then I think he is going to be the captain [after Jeter.]" Cano, who will turn 31 at the end of October, has been one of the few bright spots for the Yankees this year, hitting .302 with 21 home runs and 65 RBIs.

ATI's CATALYST A.I. - Honest Application Specific OptimizationsATI is today launching a new feature in their upcoming drivers called CATALYST A.I. which "allows the driver to intelligently analyze applications and textures to maximize graphics performance and stability". It's ironic that a year later ATI are making this feature public and active in their driver which both they and nVidia used to try and deceive us.
Last year both ATI and nVidia came under fire from several websites regarding application specific optimizations in 3DMark03. Basically when "3DMark03.exe" was loaded, the graphics card driver would drop image quality to give a better score which of course meant the graphics card in question would look better in terms of performance numbers against the competition. If you rename "3DMark03.exe" to something different, such as "3DMurk.exe" (such as Scott from The Tech Report did) you'll get the correct and true score since no application specific image quality optimizations are in play.
In an interesting turn of events, ATI is today launching a new feature in their upcoming CCC (Catalyst Control Center) drivers called CATALYST A.I. which "allows the driver to intelligently analyze applications and textures to maximize graphics performance and stability". It's ironic that a year later ATI are making this feature public and active in their driver which both they and nVidia (more so nVidia) used to try and deceive us.
Nevertheless, ATI has turned a cheap, nasty and sneaky feature around in application specific optimizations and introduced CATALYST A.I. which promises to improve 3D performance in many popular modern games whilst maintaining original image quality. The feature uses ATI's new texture analyzer technology which looks at individual textures as they are loaded and determines the most efficient way to display them. Current application *.exe files detected are Doom 3, UT2003, UT2004, Half Life 2 engine, Splinter Cell, Race Driver, Prince of Persia and Crazy Taxi 3. ATI say that in future releases of CATALYST, more support for other games will be included.
We didn't get much time with the new software from ATI (less than 24 hours in fact) but we did get time to try out ATI's new CATALYST 4.10 BETA drivers (which will be released next month along with the updated CCC) which supports A.I. We have compared the performance of A.I. turned on and off with an ATI Radeon X800 PRO in Doom 3 and CS Source BETA along with a few tests determining whether or not ATI's claims hold true in that they will never specifically optimize solely for synthetic benchmarking software, this of course mainly relating to FutureMark's 3DMark03 and 3DMark05 BETA.
Without further ado, let's continue on and find out what all the fuss is about, mainly checking to see if ATI's new CATALYST A.I. technology really provides any noteworthy performance increases without compromising image quality.

Fools Rush In: A True Story of Love, War, and Redemption
IPG, 2010 - Biography & Autobiography - 380 pages
Offering an in-depth personal account of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian war, this autobiography follows the author as he departed for conflict-ridden Eastern Europe in the early 1990s. Demonstrating how the protagonist discovered his own love of humanity, this narrative documents his career as an aid-worker, toiling amidst a motley crew of expatriate punk rockers and thrill junkies who dressed as clowns to deliver food to bombed-out orphanages. Touching on his later role as a dogged emissary, this chronicle also relates how the author convinced the rock group U2 to help bring the siege of Sarajevo to the planet via satellite broadcasts beamed out during their PopMart world tour. A forthright and powerful memoir, this searing reconstruction depicts an innocent city under attack as well as indelible portraits of the people of Sarajevo, who continued to live their lives with hope, humor, and passion. This updated edition also includes an introduction by Charles Bowden, the author ofDown by the River.

"Some men walk to live. This man lives to walk."
The story of Chase McDermot. We created this originally as a 5 minute short but there were too many jokes to share. After countless hours of editing and the destruction of a hard drive it took us nearly 1 year to complete.
We debuted this film in front of a live audience of just under a 100 people. The proceeds all went to the M.S Society of Canada. A fun night and a great cause. This was simply a project that got WAY out of hand...
The entire thing was shot on a Sony waterproof (broken) HD point and shoot. We were trying to prove something. I just can't remember what.

Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

*Update Bug*
[Gem Knight] Taric's Radiance is still heal per second and not *true heal* or "instant heal".
I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned the change to the Runes... personally, I'm a bit annoyed that they refocused the marks/seals/glyphs, just as I had figured out what each one was really meant to do. Why did they swap it from marks/red/attack, seals/yellow/health, glyphs/blue/mana? It made sense. Also, now that they're cramming mana regen in with the health regen that the seals already had, it's impossible to really make a "regen book"... which was a logical choice and not even OP, since you'd have to sacrifice your seal/glyph slots to make it. Any word on why?
I agree some of the rune changes are a bit confusing. What is the reasoning behind changing mana regen to seals for example?
When will we get our preordered package?

Thánh Gióng
Thánh Gióng, also known as Phù Đổng Thiên Vương (扶董天王), Ông Dóng[1] and Xung Thiên Thần Vương (冲天神王), is a mythical folk hero of Vietnam's history and one of The Four Immortals. The boy Gióng grows in size to be a giant hero, who rides on a iron horse leading the Văn lang to victory against invaders.[2]
The folk hero was a popular subject for nationalist poets, such as Cao Bá Quát who wrote an epic poem to Thánh Gióng in the 19th Century.[3] Today Thánh Gióng features with other legendary figures such as Kinh Dương Vương, Âu Cơ, Sơn Tinh and Thủy Tinh, in elementary school texts.[4]
Between 1718-1631BC, the setting occurred during the 6th King Hung Dynasty - Hùng Vương where a war wages with the invading An tribe.[5]
- In the small town, there was a poor, yet hardworking couples who wished to bear a child.
- One day, the wife fitted a big feet printed on the farm, and magically became pregnant.
- She gave birth to a son named Giong and at three years old, he was unable to talk, smile, or walk.
- Due to the attacks by the Ân (Yin), the king sends out messengers to call his subjects to arms. Gióng unexpectedly gains the ability to talk and ask his mother to see one of the messenger. He requests the king to arm him. the villagers fed Giong and he grew instantaneously into a magnificent man. Simultaneously, the king's blacksmiths works hard to forge Gióng a set of iron armour, an iron sword or whipping rods and an iron horse. Adorning the gears, he rode out on the iron horse and defeats the An invaders.
- After defeating the An (Shang or Yin Dynasty, China), Giong and his horse ascends to Heaven.
The Saint Giong Festival has been held since the defeat against the An, and it officially became a national holiday in the 11th century during the dynasty of King of Lý Thái Tổ, the founder of the Lý Dynasty.
- In 2010, UNESCO has listed Thanh Giong in Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding [6]
- UNESCO officially recognized Saint Giong festival as a world intangible cultural heritage of humanity at 10:20 pm in Indochina time zone. [7]
Thanh Giong (god Giong) also known as Saint Giong
Usually celebrated at Phu Dong village, Gia Lâm District on April 4th on Lunar calendar every year
The Celebration tributes the hero who saved the country that stood against the army invaders.
People have to prepare their performance for this festival from 1 st of third lunar to 5th fourth lunar month. On the 6th of Fourth lunar month,the festival begins with the ceremony of praying the weather. On April 7, villagers bring trays of vegetarian food to recreate the moment villagers who contributed food to Saint Giong. The festival continues the ritual until April 12.[8]

This November, I am presenting at SYS-CON's 4th International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo in Santa Clara, CA. I welcome any opportunity to speak about my favorite subject: cloud storage, and how the cloud storage segment is providing a viable roadmap for how to create a profitable cloud computing industry.
One year ago, the Mezeo Software team was finalizing plans to emerge from stealth mode. Since that time, the cloud storage market has undergone some significant changes and advancements. We may not have crossed Moore's proverbial chasm just yet, but the energy in the space is tangible. As an industry, we are very close to a tipping point.
In my talk at Cloud Computing Expo, "The Profit Model for Cloud Computing," I will discuss how the cloud storage space has quickly evolved. It is truly a "magic moment" situation for those who have historically been responsible for providing IT infrastructure. In fact, the very foundation of that market is shifting before our eyes due to the advent of cloud computing, and other factors including economic changes and technology advancements.
What used to be known as the "Web hosting industry" is now better described as the "IT service provider space." The old label is just too limiting. It is not just about hosting Web sites anymore. New applications, requiring compute and storage clouds, are hitting the market, including new Web-based applications. To satisfy these evolving needs, cloud storage solutions are now a necessary element of the IT service provider's infrastructure.
From an IT service provider's perspective, daydreaming about the glorious profits associated with cloud computing, including cloud storage, may be nice, but the truth is that if they don't adapt, they will go out of business. Period.
Thankfully, the discussion doesn't end there, because that would be a pretty short and depressing presentation!
So what are the emerging infrastructure needs and expectations? I will cover the basic cloud computing infrastructure and cloud storage and explain how they work together to deliver a cost effective solution that allows for the following:
- A convergence of the mutual interests and capabilities of the enterprise and service providers.
- Scalability in terms of unique moments of demand such as "the Oprah effect."
- A pay-for-use model that allows access to capacity on an as-needed basis at any given time versus always paying for what's provisioned to meet maximum demand. What a waste!
- Op-ex versus cap-ex. Driving down infrastructure costs by using cloud computing images.
I will also discuss the expectations of Web developers who are creating the new applications that are reshaping the industry. Simply put, they expect to access a robust, programmable storage with advanced services via REST APIs. Cloud storage provides them unlimited capacity and extraordinary parallel access to match the scalability of performance that their CCIs need and it does this at a very low, compelling price point.
As that world busily gets fired up, it will create a number of revenue stream and profit opportunities. And that's where it gets really interesting. You see, people will look for these services via a trusted service provider. Small businesses will pay. Big businesses will pay to develop internal clouds and you and your family will pay to preserve, protect and share your data.
My discussion will highlight the following:
- The new world that's coming for the service provider.
- New revenue streams and profit opportunities.
- What you should be doing now to prepare for all of this.
- How the enterprise can also benefit through cost reductions, new opportunities for collaboration and opportunities to enhance profit.
I will discuss the five revenue stream opportunities and the profit consequences associated with each. We will also drill down into the unusual opportunities that the enterprise can take advantage of, including greater collaboration, cost efficiencies and profit enhancement. Here is a hint: it goes far beyond just gigabytes of storage per month.
I hope you'll join me at SYS-CON's 4th International Cloud Computing Expo. My session, "The Profit Model for Cloud Computing," is scheduled for 3:25 p.m. on Monday, November 2nd. The conference runs November 2-4 at Santa Clara Convention Center. More information is available at http://cloudcomputingexpo.com/.

ELMSFORD, N.Y. — The Elmsford school district's capital plan was overwhelmingly turned down by voters Wednesday, with 468 people voting against the plan to consolidate students into Alice E. Grady Elementary School and close Carl L. Dixson Primary School.
A total of 583 people voted, said school district Clerk Diane Caperna. The $21 million plan would have renovated and expanded Grady, raising school district taxes by about $340 per year.
The capital plan was turned down despite receiving the support of Elmsford Mayor Robert Williams. The village planned to buy the Dixson building and turn it into a combined village hall, police headquarters and senior community center, which would have relieved the tax burden from the Grady construction costs, Williams said.
Elmsford school board President Matthew Evans said the overwhelming defeat means the board will look for a new way to address facility issues in the district.
"When you look at a vote like that, the board needs to revisit, look at and listen to figure out where we go from here," Evans said.
Evans added that the board hasn't had the opportunity to fully digest the results, and will have to look into how it will fix the schools' structural issues.

Sisters is an attractive go-to recreational location and if your desire is to simply park and walk you are 2 blocks from the first specialty shop and downtown core area. Your private key card privileges include swimming, separate hot pool and tennis just 1/2 block from from your front door.
The Cottage is located in popular Pine Meadows in the midst of walking/biking trails, open space and the spectacular views of the Three Sisters mountain range, a great relaxed approach to a few days away or a few weeks. (Secure WiFi is included as well and air conditioning,)
And on an added note, Jill Stanford, your concierge will make sure your stay is even more enjoyable. Your relaxed stay and enjoyment is at the top of her list. For price, location, cleanliness, service and decor one would have to look hard to find its rival.

The Sisters area appeals to so many people for its laid-back and relaxing life style. And that is why we decided after three years of providing a vacation rental in the downtown core area of Sisters to purchase our second property with the view to satisfy the growing demand our rental has enjoyed. Our first purchase has met the needs of so many guests that returning guests make reservations early each year to capture their favorite dates. One of the highlights of our guests is getting to be personally welcomed by our concierge, Jill Stanford. Jill writes western style cookbooks and lore and can be easily engaged in conversation not only about the Sisters she loves but about her favorite books that are so popular. Friendly and helpful is her middle name and she makes sure your stay is comfortable and informed. Without Jill we'd have just another place to stay but with her help she has increased our guest list and as a result have so many people choosing to come back.
We are real estate brokers and have enjoyed investing in Sisters and surrounding areas. The opportunity to purchase a cottage in the Pine Meadows development was a very easy decision. It is a couple blocks from downtown Sisters, is one level and is just plain cozy. We have a condo home also just one block away and both cottage and condo are expertly managed by Jill Stanford, our concierge.
Our Sisters Cottage vacation rental is very unique since it is located in the Pine Meadows development which includes the clubhouse and its various amenities that aren't found in so many vacation rental properties. If you like tennis, swimming and hot pool and a clubhouse to sit by the fireplace or play some cards in a larger venue it is yours with your reservation as guests of our vacation rental during the time of your stay.
I will never stay in a motel again!!!
This cottage is the way to really vacation!!
No noisy neighbors, all the best things about home are here. Kitchen for meals you like, washer and dryer, garage for vehicle or bikes, private patio, sunny front porch, wonderful friendly caretaker, short walk to town with shoping and eating.
The list of good just dosnt end.
Most of all, CLEAN & QUIET!
Had a wonderfull week, already looking forward to next time.
I booked this cottage for 3 nights in Nov 2014 to get away from the moisture of the valley! Owner was quick to respond and extremely accommodating to my special requests. Jill and her dog greeted me with a warm welcome and was just down the street should I need anything. I found everything i needed in the kitchen and found the house very comfortable for my needs. I didn't use my vehicle the entire time as this house is in walking distance to all the shops and restaurants! I saw deer every day on my walks.
Two of us stayed at this cottage for a week to take a quilting course. The location was perfect as we could walk to our course. The cottage was well equipped, and clean. The owners were very businesslike and well organized. Sisters is a lovely place to visit.
We stayed at this very nice cottage last week for five nights. The cottage was exactly as described and met our needs completely. We stayed with another adult couple and had everything we could possibly want at our fingertips. Many lovely evenings and mornings were spent on either the front porch or the back patio. Really clean and tidy facility, and stunning views from everywhere in the neighborhood. The owners and the concierge were great to work with and made us all feel very welcomed. We hope to stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the fresh and spanking clean condo near the village of Sisters Oregon. We were able to spend most of our time outdoors enjoying all this fabulous area has to offer. Next time we visit we will be sure to bring our bikes as it is a rider's paradise.
My husband and I stayed at the cottage for my birthday get away. It was just we needed from our very hectic lives. A nice little retreat walking distance to everything in downtown Sisters. I loved laying in the soft little sofa, and soaking in the tub. I like that I could make a hot cup of tea. There is quite a great collection of reading material to choose from. The internet works great as well as the TV. You could easily have 4 people stay here comfortably. It was fun to wake up early in the morning and look across the field to see 11 female deer grazing. Then to walk to the corner of the street and look back at the spectacular view of the three Sisters. We love eating at the Gallery for breakfast, The Agave for lunch and the Three sisters brewery for dinner. The Sisters movie house is a must so charming. We stayed at the little suite this owner owns also in Sisters for a business planing meeting also very nice for two. They also have another place we hope to rent sometime in the future. Thanks again for another wonderful stay.

I was playing around a bit with the Lux Auto brightness app and noticed that the lux readings on my S4 I9505 seem a bit on the low side. every app that uses the lightsensor seems to report a very low lux reading where i expect it to be a lot higher. For example, it only reports 8 lux inside at around 7pm in the Netherlands (still pretty light outside).
The sensor and driver itself seems to be fine, whenever i look in the sysfs i seem to get perfectly sane values:
cat /sys/class/sensors/light_sensor/lux 251,263,170,366
Does anyone else have this same issue? Or does anyone have a solution for this? Would be nice to have a somewhat bigger granularity so that i can improve my Lux profiles. I am now running Samsung stock rom for KitKit but also had it on different vanilla roms...

Marlene Dietrich, A Personal Biography
By Charlotte Chandler
Marlene (Marlene Dietrich, A Personal Biography). Applause Books. Softcover. 304 pages. Published by Applause Books (HL.314911).
ISBN 1557838380. 6x9 inches.
In Marlene, Hollywood legend Marlene Dietrich is vividly brought to life. In the mid-1970s Charlotte Chandler interviewed the reclusive actress in Dietrich's Paris apartment. The star's career was all but over, but she agreed to meet because Chandler hadn't known her earlier, "when [Dietrich] was young and very beautiful." Marlene is further enriched by Chandler's interviews with others who knew Dietrich well, including Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Burt Bacharach.
Chandler relates how Dietrich began her career in her native Berlin as a model, then a stage and screen actress during the silent era, becoming a star with The Blue Angel, then moving on to become one of the brightest lights in Hollywood. Prior to World War II, the fiercely anti-Nazi Dietrich resisted Hitler's flattering invitations to return to Germany and became an American citizen instead, later entertaining Allied troops on the front lines. After the war, she embarked on a new, outstanding second career as a stage performer.
Dietrich had a strict Prussian upbringing, but she refused to be constrained by society's expectations. She spoke candidly with Chandler about her unconventional marriage; she and her husband both had affairs, each with the other's consent. She even expressed warm feelings toward her husband's mistress.
Marlene Dietrich lived an extraordinary life, and Marlene relies extensively on the star's own words to reveal how intriguing and fascinating that life really was.

Kudos to graduates and their mentors
As is the norm, Principal Mary O'Brien requested the public withhold their applause until each student had received their diploma. And as is the norm, applause and shout-outs erupted from friends and family for their own. As the names moved from the A's into the D's, I realized each student was receiving applause and a shout-out and not from only family members. The students themselves were honoring each member of the 2014 class with recognition. I cringed as I thought that there is no way they can do this through the Z's — there are 200 graduates! But that is exactly what they did! Not one of their fellow students walked across that stage without applause and a shout-out! Talk about respect, empathy and camaraderie! I was moved to tears.
Congratulations to all who have influenced this incredible group of young people! Job well done and as Principal O'Brien said in closing, "Go North!"
Carolann Sullivan

So again, Happy New Year, Adventure ...

Some of these towns have so much history. Silves was originally Roman, then came the Moors who had a big influence. So many of the neighboring town names start with AL that is because of the Moors. The Moors were sent back to Spain at some point and then I guess it ...
