I recently used the partial downgrade then re upgrade method to root my Verizon s4. After I reinstalled all my apps I noticed that the stock video player app was now missing. I understand there are better players to use on my phone and I use one (MX player). However I do use the stock player to cast to my Samsung TV which is a pre Smart Hub device from 2012. It worked fine and mated up with no problems. Does anyone have an apk of the kitkat version (4.4.2) of the nc5 verizon stock player I can install?

Best Underlayment for engineered wood floating floor
I am putting in a 1/2" engineered wood click-float floor over a wood subfloor, and need to select an underlayment for it. My primary concern is not pass-through sound to the floor below or thermal insulation quality, but rather having a floor that sounds like solid wood when walked on. I have read many posts on this and other forums of people speaking very highly of the FloorMuffler product for achieving a "solid wood floor sound," even though it is only 2mm thick. Is this product still better than a cork underlayment? 6mm cork is three times the cost of FloorMuffler, but I would spend it if it created a better result.
Also, does a 6mm cork underlayment sound any more "solid" than a 3mm cork? And what can you tell me about the IIC and STC ratings? I am of the belief that the IIC measures the product's ability to absorb reflective sound, thus making it sound more "solid." Does a higher IIC number indicate a better product? Any help that folks can offer would be greatly appreciated.
I have not used cork, so I can't speak about that. I have used many other underlayments including FloorMuffler. In my personal experience Sound Solutions underlayment is the best for what you are asking about. One person can't hardly lift and carry a 6ft wide roll of this.
Three things you need to have to achieve a quiet and fairly solid feeling floating floor.
The substrate has to flat,flat,flat.
Use a premium underlayment.
Pick a quality floor with excellent milling and a stout joinery system, and the thicker it is the better imo.
I have installed this way before and it is very solid feeling underfoot. Most folks are surprised when they discover it's a floating floor.
How do the price and R-value of Sound Solutions compare to FloorMuffler or any other reasonable underlayments?
We'll be installing over a hydronic radiant floor (REHAU Raupanel), and want to be able to get good performance with low water temperatures.

"I had these invitations personalized and a few additional lines added to the top. They sent me a proof quickly and it was just what we wanted. The turn around was quick and the invitations were perfect! Amazing quality and honestly better than I thought. I initially had chosen a cheaper card but after reading reviews for this one, I switched. I'm so happy that I did. Very classy and elegant card, arrived sooner than they had initially projected. Perfect for my gold and black wedding!"
"We went with navy blue for the invitations, and got rid of the initials at the top. The designers were really helpful in making design edits. This design is simple, yet elegant, We were really pleased with the quality, and can't wait to send them to our guests!"
"I absolutely love my invitations. The pearl shimmer paper is really worth the extra (minor) cost as it enhances the overall classy look. I changed the color of the flowers on the front and the color on the back to the majestic purple and it looks gorgeous. Also changed the wording on the back to a scripture verse. Also ordered the silver envelopes (a minor increase in cost) and they look amazing with the purple. Customer service was so easy to work with! This is my second order with wedding paper divas (also got my save the date photo cards here) and I would definitely use them again!"
"We had a fall-themed wedding at a farmers' market in Washington, DC. The wedding invitations were one of the first things we picked after finding the venue. We thought these invites fit our personalities perfectly. The card stock is a really good/sturdy thickness and the colors (we went with orange and red) were a perfect match for us. We even had our cake designed to coordinate with the invites. Our wedding guests loved them as well. I got numerous compliments - especially that they were so full of color and set the tone for our fall wedding. I was especially impressed with the extremely fast turnaround times and the ease of making design adjustments. Never once did we have any problems or concerns. Using Wedding Paper Divas was the easiest part of our entire wedding planning process!"
"I ordered the invitations, RSVP cards and enclosure card for reception information and it all came looking better than I had even expected. I'm having a very neutral wedding so I went with the silver/gray text and it was the perfect touch. They are elegant and timeless invitations, I definitely will not be looking back in 10 years wondering what was I thinking."

Trouble for Rachel and Adam?
Super cute Rachel and Adam are one of our favorite couples, so we were so sad to hear that the two may be having some problems. The rumor is the two OC stars were very close to getting engaged, but now Adam is a little jealous of Rachel's friendship with her The Last Kiss co-star, Zach Braff. Our fingers are crossed this is all just one big rumor. They sure seemed happy at the premiere a few weeks ago. Here's more:
Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson have reportedly hit a rough patch. The stars of "The O.C." fell in love while working on the show, and it "looked like they were on their way to getting engaged just a little while back," a source told Star, but "are going through a really difficult period right now." One reason, according to the insider, may be because of Bilson's friendship with Zach Braff, her co-star from "The Last Kiss." "Zach calls Rachel a lot and they talk on the phone like girlfriends," says the insider. "But what really eats away at Adam is when Rachel starts talking about how mature Zach is. No guy appreciates his girlfriend comparing him to another guy."

Death Valley weather stats were fabricated
Discrepancy was noticed by a Rancho Peñasquitos newspaper reader
"The observations are still coming in," Stachelski said. "The record is being kept. Unfortunately, for anyone needing it for real-time publication, they're not much use."
The state and national highs and lows listed each day in newspapers and elsewhere are more to satisfy the public's curiosity than to serve as an official record, Stachelski said. There are dozens of volunteer weather stations around the country that don't report daily data to the National Climatic Data Center until after a month is over.
"This is all preliminary," Stachelski said of the national maximum and minimum temperatures listed in newspapers. "There is no guarantee that those are the absolute highest and lowest temperatures."
Death Valley National Park officials say they hope to be back in the renovated visitor center by late fall or early winter, and they will then resume taking the afternoon readings.
Stachelski said the rule of thumb is that Death Valley is, on average, 10 to 12 degrees hotter than Las Vegas, from mid-spring through October. But the U-T will be listing N/A until the afternoon data are collected again.

It's slightly amusing to me, because initially reading this article I was going to write a whole thing about "One would wonder how he manages to uphold his charismatic legitimacy to his people even through this public ridicule with the "bunga bunga" song and his obvious band of disapprovers..." However, the exact same thing happens in the United States all the time (SNL, any sort of political joke whatsoever). I guess it was just my still-narrow view of what goes on in foreign politics talking.
It makes me wonder how concerned Mr. Berlusconi is with his delicate position as prime minister. I'm sure even his loyal group of supporters are becoming skeptical...will his personal advisors persuade him to try a new approach to sway the public, or will he just keep his jovial mask on, and work on the economy while he gets jeered?
This article seemed to emphasize his age as well, perhaps in the past cracks have been made that his methods are outdated, or that his sympathy for young Ruby is evidence that he is tired of the political battlefield and wants to retire.
In any event, I'm impressed by Mr. Berlusconi's ability to roll with the punches, or perhaps the Italian people's ability to forgive and forget.

Android fans are expecting Nexus 8 at Google I/O event to present the next generation OS version. But if you already own Nexus 7 2013 and eligible to get Android 4.5, should you upgrade to Nexus 8 tablet?
There are no confirmed details about the specifications of Nexus 8 and rumours strongly suggest Qualcomm's upcoming 64-bit processor models to be released as samples this year.
Display Quality
Display quality may be upgraded to 2K resolution just like with Galaxy Tab S 8.4. 2K display will definitely blow away the HD screen of Nexus 7 2013 in terms of a larger 8 inches diagonal screen size and more immersive viewing experience with videos.
Google is rumoured to use Qualcomm's upcoming 64-bit processor that support 2K display and 4K video recording.
Brand New OS
New Nexus means a new OS and the next generation Android may feature additional support for new processors, new graphics processing chips and virtual memory. On Android KitKat, Google extended more driver supports on various hardware components and added OpenGL ES 2.0 for the SurfaceFlinger.
Qualcomm's candidate processors for 2014 support OpenGL ES 3.1 and Adreno 430 GPU that boasts 30 per cent improved performance and 20 per cent less power consumption.
Smoother User Experience
If Google and Qualcomm succeed on installing 64-bit processor cores in Nexus 8, there are several improvements that all users will enjoy when using Android 4.5.
1. Much faster compared to the processing speed of Nexus 7 2012 and 2013.
2. Much better graphics support due to Qualcomm's optimisation plans.
3. Capacity to use at least 4 GB of RAM chipset.
4. Enables use of bigger internal storage drives such as 128 GB.
5. Access to LTE-Advanced network mode.
4K Video
Nexus 8 may not get the 4K video recording support or slow-motion as it will affect the price if Google install high-class camera lenses. But users may enjoy watching them right on the Nexus 8 tablet or using the HDMI cable on larger screens. The 64-bit processor cores will do the trick to make 4K videos usable on Nexus 8:
- Support on native 4K Ultra HD interface and video
- OpenGL ES 3.1 support
- Frame buffer compression and external 4K display support via HDMI1.4.
More Add-ons
Qualcomm's 64-bit processors are not only limited to performance, speed and display. There are several perks for any mobile device powered by Snapdragon 810 and 808.
1. Multi-user version of Multiple Input Multiple Output Wi-Fi connectivity
2. Bluetooth 4.1 support
3. Qualcomm IZat for accurate location service
4. Support on advanced mobile camera features such as enhanced exposure, white balance and fast low light focus
5. Up to 300 Mbps speed using mobile data

Dark Spots on Brass
We have a pair of brass floor lamps for a few years. We thought we would let them tarnish naturally, that they would acquire a pleasant soft glow. That didn't happen. The base of the lamps especially got very dull and unsightly and developed some dark spots (like pimples).
To restore the lamps, I have been using CERAMA BRYTE which was recommended by someone on this forum who said, "Apply it and in a few minutes wipe if off and prepare to be amazed." It does work, but not perfectly, because I neglected the lamps for a long time.
I have two questions: The dark spots come off only with a lot of very hard effort. Is there something else that will make this job easier? Second, after restoring the brass to a nice luster, how can I keep it that way? I know lacquer is the recommended thing, but I don't know how to use it, and I'm afraid I may make a mess of it. Suppose I apply a thin coat of lemon oil. Will that work, assuming I apply some more periodically?
Thanks for your help.

The Division is responsible for several centers collecting data from a worldwide surveillance network of satellites, radars, and other sensors for year-round processing in real time.[citation needed] The centers include the Air Warning Center, Missile Correlation Center, Systems Center, Weather Center, and the Command Center. The Division maintains a skeleton crew at the Cheyenne Mountain facility as a "warm standby"[3] to a joint NORAD-NORTHCOM center[4] at Peterson Air Force Base which conducts the day-to-day operations once done at the Cheyenne complex.
Over 200 men and women from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Canadian Forces work at the facility.[citation needed]

No I didn't.
I did notice one part of the summary where they converted 100 km to 62 miles, and another where they noted that different groups define the edge of space differently, with some using 100 km as the boundary and others using 50 miles. However, at no point did I note someone trying to equate 100 km to 50 miles. Can you point it out for me?
The tests uncovered the fact that their initial motor design was a dud. Vibrations, instabilities... it would have torn the whole thing apart had they burned it full duration.
So they had to make a completely new engine. This is the first glide test with the modified SS2.

Fast bowler Kemar Roach has been ruled out of the remainder of the West Indies' tour of India due to a shoulder injury.
The duration of his illustrious and stunning career says it all and no doubt the two finals tests for Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
Darren Sammy said West Indies will enter the two-Test series against India with the same positive mindset which has helped them to win their last six straight Tests.
West Indies batsman Darren Bravo said he valued the half-century he scored against Uttar Pradesh on Thursday here, for one important reason.
Darren Sammy said West Indies have no intention of allowing Sachin Tendulkar's farewell from the game to overshadow their main mission on the tour of India.
The West Indies Cricket Board announced on Thursday that its Selection Committee has named a 15-member Test squad for the West Indies tour of India, starting later this month.
The American cricketing community, more so the New York metropolitan area is mourning the loss of Roy Sweeney, a cricket visionary

I Didn't Know That
I Didn't Know That: Can You Survive Quicksand?
Survival Skills
Is it possible to survive being stuck in quicksand? Jonny Phillips risks life and limb to experience firsthand what it is like to slowly sink into quicksand—just a few feet away from an incoming tide.
JONNY PHILLIPS: This quaint English village might look like the perfect place for cream teas and picnics on the beach. But it harbors a deadly secret. The whole area is covered with dangerous patches of quicksand.
JONNY PHILLIPS: When water floods into sand it forces the sand particles apart causing the ground to loosen, what's left is a soggy combination of the two that can no longer support as much weight, so when you stand on it you start to sink.
JONNY PHILLIPS: I want to find out if it's actually possible to get out of quicksand. And to do that I'm gonna have to get in it.
JONNY PHILLIPS: But I'm not going anywhere around here without the help of the professionals.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Hi George, how you doing?
GEORGE: Alright Jon.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Pleased to meet you.
GEORGE: And you.
JONNY PHILLIPS: How long have you been a Coastguard in the area?
GEORGE: 24 years.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Right, but you, you're a proper expert in quick sand, you're...
GEORGE: I am yeah, we are number one round here for quick sand rescue, yeah.
JONNY PHILLIPS: You're the right man to be in charge of this demonstration.
GEORGE: Yeah, we'll look after you.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Alright, that's, that's good to hear. Do I need any special kit or anything?
GEORGE: I don't think you'll do it like that, you might frighten the fish, I think we'd better go and get a suit on.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Alright, excellent, cheers.
JONNY PHILLIPS: To keep me dry and warm I put on a totally watertight dry suit, normally worn by divers. ..... Dry suit on and I was ready to go, but, as I walked out across the bay, I started to feel a tad nervous about my impending descent into the unknown.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Alright George, this looks like the right kind of stuff...
GEORGE: Yeah.
JONNY PHILLIPS: ...shall I just um, just step into it then?
GEORGE: Have a go in that one.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Ok, oh, here we go. I'm trusting you. I'm not just gonna disappear though am I?
GEORGE: No, no, you're not...
JONNY PHILLIPS: Sink like a stone.
GEORGE: ...you're not gonna disappear.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Right, I appear to be sinking, oh my goodness me.
JONNY PHILLIPS: I was sinking fast and my weight was pushing the water away from the sand creating a vacuum around my legs and pulling me south.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Ok, I'm starting to feel a little bit uncomfortable about the whole situation now.
JONNY PHILLIPS: I could feel the pressure of the sand against me, and as much as I tried, I just couldn't move my legs.
JONNY PHILLIPS: I'm gonna stop going down aren't I?
GEORGE: Yeah.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Before I knew it, I was in deep. It had only taken 8 minutes for me to sink down to my waist.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Why aren't there signs around this specific area here saying you know, danger quicksand don't walk here?
GEORGE: Well that'd work today, tomorrow all this won't be quicksand it will have moved.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Right.
GEORGE: And it moves day in, day out, via the tidal movement.
JONNY PHILLIPS: So what could I possibly do to get out of this situation if you weren't here George, because I feel completely helpless?
GEORGE: Well the first thing you're gonna do in the real situation is shout and scream and go mad, but er, the book says sit down, lie down. And if you sit down or lie down all you're doing is making your footprint bigger for your weight so it does work in certain circumstances where you can lie back and just let the uh, body float.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Right. George it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
GEORGE: No you're quite a way in, plus the fact it looks a fair thick mix of uh, quicksand that.
JONNY PHILLIPS: God it feels really solid, and there's nothing I can do like wiggling my legs or...
GEORGE: If you, if you wiggle you'll just go further in.
JONNY PHILLIPS: I can really feel the pressure now, I mean that feels like, yeah, really solid.
GEORGE: Yeah, it, it does get to the stage where it stops the blood flow, so you don't want to be in there too long.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Well I'm stuck fast and there's no way I'm getting out on my own, and to be honest with you I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable about the whole situation, so if you wouldn't mind getting me out George that'd be marvellous.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Although the coastguard team was here with me, I was scared stiff. To pull one leg free from this stuff requires the amount of force needed to lift a small car, so I had no idea how they were gonna get me out. ..... They started to flood the sand around my legs with water whilst frantically digging away with their hands. I felt like I was stuck in concrete.
GEORGE: Yeah.
COASTGUARD: Ah, there we go.
JONNY PHILLIPS: What about the other leg, that's the...
GEORGE: We'll get that, we'll get them out one at a time.
JONNY PHILLIPS: After frantically working for 10 minutes, they finally freed one leg, but my other was still wedged hard and I was starting to get tired. Such intense pressure on your legs can cause deep vein thrombosis. ..... I'm only submerged to my hips. If you're unlucky enough to go down as far as your neck, then there's a good chance that the pressure on your chest could prevent you from breathing properly, and believe me, whilst all this is happening, the last thing you need is to be short of breath.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Aghhhh
GEORGE: Stick your arm round me... [inaudible]
JONNY PHILLIPS: Alright, ahhh, cheers boys. I ca..., that is the most horrendous thing I've ever done in my life.
JONNY PHILLIPS: So, will you die if you get stuck in quicksand? If Tarzan isn't about and the coastguard's nowhere in sight, then I don't really fancy your chances, so tread carefully.

The present invention is related to co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 10/788,433, filed Feb. 27, 2004 and is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
The present invention relates generally to analog circuits, and in particular low dropout linear regulators and systems which incorporate low dropout linear regulators.
Most linear regulators have feedback which needs some type of stability compensation, either external or internal compensation. To obtain more precise voltage regulation, larger gain is required which inherently makes the feedback less stable. These two trade-offs, large gain and stability, create a design challenge. Other design considerations require low current, reduced silicon area, and good power supply rejection. Many techniques have been implemented for stability compensation. The following patents constitute a sampling of conventional solutions: U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,908,566, 5,168,209, 5,637,992, 5,648,718, 5,744,944, 5,850,139, 5,945,818, 5,982,226, and 6,522,112. All of these techniques use some type of internal zero compensation.
The P0 pole in
In essence there are many places where secondary poles can exist. As in
The other traditional method of stability compensation is to rely on the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the load capacitor. The ESR of the load capacitor can provide a compensating zero to offset the extra pole in the feedback typically from the amplifier stage. The issue with relying on the ESR of the capacitor is there can be a narrow range of ESR values allowed for a given design.
There is need for an integrated linear regulator have relatively large gain while maintaining stability, with reduced chip layout area and reduced power consumption.
The present invention is directed to a linear regulator and circuits incorporating a linear regulator. A typical linear circuit according to the invention includes an external pass transistor that does not rely on internal compensation, provides high gain, and exhibits reduced silicon area and power requirements. Circuits according to the present invention provide sufficient bandwidth with an error amplifier and drive capability to keep any secondary poles sufficiently far from the unity gain bandwidth (UGB) while maintaining good power supply rejection. In accordance with the invention operation of the circuit does not rely on the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the load capacitor.
Aspects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the invention presented in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Circuits embodied in accordance with the present invention keep the secondary poles beyond the UGB. See
Referring to
A resistor R1 is coupled between a second voltage source VDD1 and the drain of T1, at a node V2. Transistor device T2 is configured as a source follower, having a gate terminal that is connected to the node V2 and a source terminal that is connected to a current source represented schematically as Is. The source terminal of T2 is also coupled to 1 b flowing at a node V3. Typical devices used for transistor device T2 include, but are not limited to, P-type FET's (field effect transistors), N-type FET's, NPN BJT's (bipolar junction transistors), and PNP BJT's.
A pass circuit comprising element Tpass has a control terminal that is connected to the node V3. The voltage source VDD1 is connected to a first terminal of the pass element Tpass. The pass element can be any of a number of transistor devices such as a BJT. Though, the embodiment illustrated in
A second terminal of the pass element Tpass is coupled to an output node Vout to provide a regulated voltage to a load. A compensating capacitor C1 is coupled across the load. An equivalent series inductance (ESL) of the capacitor is schematically represented. A feedback path from the output node Vout to the node Vf is provided through the voltage divider network formed by a pair of resistors Rf.
In operation, a circuit according to the invention operates to drive the base node V3 such that the bandwidth at that node is high enough to place a pole beyond the UGB. This ensures stability of the circuit while providing efficient operation for low quiescent current and good power supply rejection. Referring to the illustrative circuit according to the invention, shown in
As noted above, the transistor device T2 is configured as a source follower and thus operates as a low output impedance gain stage to provide a low impedance drive to node V3. Current source Is provides a bias current to T2 that is substantially less than the base current, 1 b. The voltage source VDD1 provides a current to the pass transistor Tpass and a common voltage reference to R1. It is noted that the voltage source VDD2 does not have to be the same potential as VDD1. However, in a particular embodiment of the invention VDD2 can be the same potential as VDD1.
The compensating capacitor C1 provides the pole P0 (see
Another advantage with this configuration is that the source follower acts as a gain stage with an output impedance that decreases with an increase in load current. The current flow through transistor device T2 increases as the current draw through the load increases. This in turn decreases the output resistance of T2 thus increasing the bandwidth of node V3. More bandwidth at V3 is needed during higher current loads because the pole at Vout increases as well with higher current loads. So the poles at V3 and Vout track each other despite the load change. This is a desirable characteristic because it ensures stability during high current loads.
Is is a small current to keep transistor device T2 turned ON when no base current is needed during low current demands of the load. The current Is serves as a replacement current when Ib becomes very small during a low loading conditions, to ensure a bias current through the source follower while allowing the pass element Tpass to shut off. This aspect of the invention ensures low quiescent power consumption.
R1 is used to set a normal bias point for node V2 in the linear operating range of Tpass and to keep the pole at a frequency sufficiently higher than the UGB to ensure stable operation. The resistor R1 is also used to keep the power supply rejection of the linear regulator low. If VDD1 changes, node V2 will track this movement and force V3 to move in the same manner to keep the base-emitter voltage of Tpass constant. As noted above, VDD2 and VDD1 could be the same potential, but can be different if the voltage VDD2 for the OpAmp needs to be larger or smaller than VDD1.
A key aspect of the invention, as embodied in the illustrative circuit of
As a final observation, consideration with any linear regulator of the equivalent series inductance (ESL) needs to be understood. The resonance of the capacitor C1 is determined by the capacitance and ESL. The resonance of the capacitor should be chosen to be higher than the UGB.
Generally, a linear voltage regulator circuit according to the present invention, can be used in many electronic circuits which require a regulated voltage.
A linear regulator circuit 502 in accordance with the present invention is provided to control the pass element 504. The voltage nodes of 502 correspond to the same nodes as
Providing VDD2 separate from VDD1 allows a lower voltage to be used for the pass element than for the opamp. For example, VDD2=3.3V is a typical power supply voltage for an opamp. However, typical HDD electronics can be driven at a lower voltage of 2.5 V. Thus, setting VDD1 to 2.5 V provides about a 0.8V drop in HDD supply voltage levels with corresponding drops in power loss and heat dissipation.

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Grand Lake St. Marys in western Ohio is the state's largest inland lake. It's a state park that for years has been a popular tourist destination. But farm runoff has polluted the waters. Now there's an algae bloom that's the worst in the lake's history. Tourism is drying up and some local people are irritated by what they believe is inaction by state officials.

Agustín Fuentes, Race, Monogamy, and Other Lies They Told You: Busting Myths about Human Nature UC Press, 2012
Download program audio (mp3, 47.49 Mbytes)
Are men from Mars, and women from Venus, as the cliché goes? Did half of us evolve to start wars and dominate the rest of us? Could humans ever live together without warring? Biological anthropologist Agustín Fuentes separates the myths from the facts about aggression, cooperation, and human nature, arguing that we are not hardwired for war. He also takes apart conventional wisdom about the differences between men and women, suggesting that there is a yawning gap between what scientists know and what is reported in the media.

Moïse de Camondo
|Moïse de Camondo
Moïse de Camondo (date unknown).
15 March 1860
Constantinople, Ottoman Empire
|14 November 1935
(aged 75)
Paris, France
|Irène Cahen d'Anvers (m. 1891)
|Nissim (1892–1917)
Béatrice (1894–1944)
Count Moïse de Camondo (15 March 1860 – 14 November 1935) was an Ottoman Empire born Italian origin French banker and art collector.
As a child, Camondo moved with his family from their home in Constantinople, Ottoman Empire, to Paris where he grew up and continued his father's career as a banker. He was born into a Sephardic Jewish family that owned one of the largest banks in the Ottoman Empire, established in France since 1869.
In 1912 he completely rebuilt the family mansion on the Parc Monceau in order to house his collection of 18th century French furniture and artwork. Working closely with the architect René Sergent he created a palatial home suitable to 18th century traditions, even planning the room dimensions to match exactly the objects in his collection. The entryway is inspired by the Petit Trianon of Versailles. The home includes a kosher kitchen with separate sections for meat and dairy. The dining room includes a beautifully carved green marble fountain in the shape of a shell with a dolphin spigot for the ritual washing of hands before eating a meal.
Some highlights include a French silver service that had been ordered by Russian royal Catherine II, a set of Buffon porcelain (with exact reproductions of ornithological drawings) from the Sèvres manufacturer, and perhaps the only existing complete set of Gobelin royal tapestry sketches.
He married Irène Cahen d'Anvers, daughter of Louis Cahen d'Anvers, in 1891, and raised his two children in this home which he donated to Paris's Decorative Arts society as a museum (Musée Nissim de Camondo) in honor of the loss of his son in World War I. Following his only son's death, Camondo largely withdrew from society and devoted himself primarily to his collection and to hosting dinners for a club of gourmets at regular intervals. The museum opened the year after Moïse de Camondo died, in 1935. After the German occupation of France during World War II, his daughter, Béatrice, his son-of-law Léon Reinach and their children, Fanny and Bertrand, deported by the French, died in the Auschwitz concentration camp.[1] The Camondo family died out.
In addition to the Count's collection, the meticulously restored service areas, elevator and woodwork of the mansion are noteworthy.

Area softball: Baldwin-Woodville 6, Ellsworth 4
Ellsworth roared off to a strong start by scoring four first-inning runs against Baldwin-Woodville's Brooke McNamara, but a switch to Abby Klopp in the second inning proved too tough of a task to take.
The hard-throwing Klopp struck out 14 Ellsworth hitters in her five innings pitched.
"We just have to do a better job swinging the bats," Ellsworth coach Ryan Casper said. "We just have to adjust, we were over-swinging on a hard pitcher and you just can't do that."

Jessica Alba's the Eye Movie Premiere Beauty Looks
Which Premiere Look Do You Prefer on Jessica Alba?
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Jessica Alba's belly is really beginning to bulge, and in my opinion she looks more beautiful than ever. Last month in Los Angeles, she premiered her new movie The Eye wearing simple makeup and loose, flowy hair. Weeks later, she attended her Parisian premiere wearing a formal gown, an updo and winter-white sparkling eyes. Which premiere beauty look do you like better on this mom-to-be?

I don't like her eye makeup in the second one, it's caked on. She looks better with her hair down anyway, it balances her out a little bit.

This just reminds me of those Revlon ads with her monologue about finding the perfect foundation and completing her major goal in life. Oh dear, I say unladylike things every time I see it.

...thank you for the great Portal!!
I was looking for a while for a decent front-end/portal for SMF and found it with DP. Very happy with the outcome...
...ease-of-use when it came to managing layouts, also adding new content. The add-on modules developed here are a snap to install; I've never experienced anything so amazingly simple...
First, Dream Portal looks great. I'm switching one of my sites over... specifically for the Pages feature.
First off let me say that Dream Portal is amazing!
I dont think there is a better portal 'look and feel' that rivals Dream Portals - so I've decided Im here to stay.
First of all, I'm repeating myself, as I said in my intro post.... I LOVE THE DREAM PORTAL!!!!
Hey guys. Love the work you guys have done and Dream Portal has been working great for me.
...I LOVE the new addition of the Dream Portal to our new site. It was easy to set up and the ability to easily customize makes a somewhat novice like me very happy.
This is the first time I use DP 1.1 on an live site. I must say that I am very impressed! It can do anything that you imagine, there are a lot of options in the modules!
...thanks to the awesome support here, ...it is way better than any other portal out there. I just love it so much. And the support here is fabulous, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved in this project. Keep up the great work!
Hi there! Pretty new to SMF and DreamPortal, but so far I love it!

United Way rolls out new fund-raising effort
- Tracey Drury
- Buffalo Business First Reporter- Buffalo Business First
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
More than 100 area nonprofit groups will "blast" their supporters March 1 in support of a one-day online fundraising event.
SpringItOn, facilitated by the United Way of Buffalo & Erie County, will include agencies of all shapes and sizes, ranging from the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and Crisis Services to the Arts Services Initiative and the Nor-Ton Red Jacket Club. A total of 102 agencies in Erie and Niagara counties have signed up to participate.
"This didn't even exist a month ago. It's been a lightning-speed project for us," said Patty Olender, director of strategic communications at United Way.
The United Way of Greater Rochester facilitated a similar event the past two years, with agencies in that community generating $550,000 in 2011 and $875,000 on Dec. 12 from its Roc The Day event.
"We're hoping to catch some of that excitement. It's being done by a lot of United Way communities across the country as just a way to drive more resources to community agencies," she said.
There is no cost to agencies to participate, with agencies receiving a net of 91 percent of all dollars raised. The other 9 percent will help cover the cost of processing credit cards, fees to the Web vendor and to cover some costs for United Way facilitation.
Olender said the United Way helps spread the word to agencies, then provides a 45-minute training session to help agencies set up their fundraising page. The pages are active now, so donations can be taken at any time between now and March 2, but the idea is to keep the focus on the one day, she said.
Agencies will use their own lists of contact people, supporters and clients through their websites, emails, social media and through traditional communications to encourage online donations during a 24-hour period beginning at midnight March 1.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Why must we buy our good news?
Canadian Tire's jobs carry price tag of $24,000 each
If your glass of ice-cold Red River water is perpetually half full, the announcement of 50 new high-tech jobs coming to the heart of downtown is exciting enough to make you actually drink the murky stuff.
But if your glass is half empty, the sobering notion each one of those gigs comes with $24,000 worth of government incentives may drive you to consider quaffing something a little stronger.
On Thursday, Canadian Tire announced it will create 50 new jobs in Winnipeg when it opens up a "cloud computing centre" in the Air Canada building on Portage Avenue. The positions in question are precisely the sort of jobs this city and province absolutely must create in order to retain young, creative workers.
The knock against Winnipeg over the past few decades is its economy just hasn't offered enough in the way of opportunity to recent university graduates with the ambition to work at the razor's edge of their respective fields.
The belief, sometimes but not always borne out by statistics, is that young, university-educated Winnipeggers are more likely to flee this city than their counterparts in, say, Toronto, Vancouver or Calgary, where there are more cutting-edge jobs due to the presence of corporate headquarters, the film business and the oil industry, respectively.
Of course, not all the jobs younger workers find involve new technology. This notion, popularized by fetishistic business-press coverage of high-tech giants such as Google, Microsoft and Apple, portrays all 20-something workers (and even those in their 30s) as spoiled little babies who want espresso machines on every floor, a row of vintage video games against every wall and office hours so flexible no boss will ever care when they come and go.
In reality, most young people just want a job that pays well, keeps them interested and simply does not suck. So, if you're a Winnipeg university graduate who happens to be one of the 50 people qualified to work in Canadian Tire's new "advanced cloud computing centre," you may just be able to stick around the Manitoba capital long enough to complain about a few more winters and the lack of Canadian Football League championships.
The price of this centre to the public purse, as revealed on Thursday at a press conference, is at least $1.2 million in government incentives.
That includes $900,000 to $1 million worth of provincial tax incentives that will allow Canadian Tire to purchase equipment, provided Canadian Tire makes a minimum $10-million investment, Premier Greg Selinger said.
It also includes up to $300,000 from the city as part of what Winnipeg property director Barry Thorgrimson described as an "economic development incentive package" that will be presented to city council later this month.
That works out to $24,000 in government spending for each of the 50 jobs, though more may follow if the Canadian Tire venture is successful.
It's not clear how much of those incentives will be recouped in the form of business and property taxes that will be levied against the new high-technology office. The city package, as yet unveiled to the public, may simply involve tax breaks.
Downtown will also benefit by filling up 28,000 square feet of vacant office space with people who should have more earning and purchasing power than call-centre employees.
Nonetheless, it's still hard to escape the unfortunate message: Every nice thing we get in Winnipeg comes at the cost of a public subsidy.
Nonetheless, Selinger and Mayor Sam Katz are not concerned about the optics of this particular piece of public spending.
"Why would you, if you're getting this kind of investment and you're getting 50 quality jobs coming into our downtown?" Katz asked.
Selinger said the new centre will add to a critical mass of new-media business in Winnipeg. "The new-media sector has been doing very well," he said. "The products we're creating here have the ability to attract investment."
That may very well be true. But this city will only be considered a success story when it can attract investment without spending cash to bring it here.
You know what's even better than 50 interesting jobs? A day when a great, new business can set up shop in Winnipeg without making the mayor and premier feel compelled to attend the press conference.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Phal leaf problems, identify?
cwcervantes(9A / New Orleans)July 3, 2011
Hi everyone! I've had this Millie's Brown Bacon (venosa x braceana) for about two years. It has been a vigorous grower, putting out lots of basal keikis and a spike a few months ago. However, after moving it outside for the summer, the spike turned yellow and now the leaves are too! Can anyone identify the problem? Is it excessive heat? The plant is very far from any direct light, though I do think one of the blemishes on the smaller leaf is sunburn from previously being in direct light. Any advice/help is appreciated! I've moved it indoors to see if that helps!
