Michael, as I wrote before in response to your previous Llano story, my A8-3850 integrated Radeon HD 6550D works well with the open Radeon driver. My story starts here. Using Ubuntu 11.04 I had exactly the same problems as you, could have made exactly the same screenshots. With 11.10 alpha (first steps with alpha 2) though, it works just fine. Even better with the git stuff from xorg-edgers. Did you do tests with Ubuntu 11.10?
Only problem: the KMS/kernel DRM doesn't seem to recognize the monitor connector correctly, I have a 1920x1200 TFT at the DVI port but radeon sees a ghost VGA monitor, activates that one and sets the resolution to 1024x768. I can correct this by fiddling with xrandr or better by adding "video=DVI-D-1:e video=VGA-1:d" to the kernel parameters. For details see my link above and following posts. If more details are needed, just say so, I'll try to provide them.

Marietta, Georgia, the largest Marietta in the United States. With a population of around 60,000 people, Marietta is one of Atlanta's largest suburbs. One distinct monument in this area is the Big Chicken, used often by ordinary people as well as traffic reporters as a reference point. Marietta is also home to Alton Brown, host of the TV show Good Eats, not to mention the infamous rap group the BDB Highrollers (look up "highrollers" on myspace).

Marietta is a unique individual (with a name like she has to be). She's loyal, friendly, VERY charming and lovable. She is pretty but doesn't know it. She loves to laugh and once you've hung out with her she owns you.
Was she fun?
Yea, she was Marietta all the way!

Marietta is a GORGEOUS girl. She is the prettiest person you will ever meet in the world. Every guy wants to date her. She usually has a dark complexion, dark hair and beautiful dark big eyes. You will be so lucky to ever meet a Marietta. Cherish her for life if you know one. She is also one of the most hilarious people you will ever meet in your life. She attracts everyone with her beautiful looks and great personality. She is super kind and sweet. Most Marietta's are not spoiled but when they are you can't tell because they are so generous and caring and don't brag much. Marietta's are super talented with singing, dancing, artwork, and very athletic. All guys want to marry her and all girls want to be her. EVERYONE loves her especially little kids and adults. She is very polite and sometimes shy around others but around her friends she is very outrageous.
Girl 1: Woah she is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!
Girl 2: Yeah! I wish I was her!
Boy 1: I wanna date her!
Boy 2: Yeah her name is Marietta
Girl 1 and 2: Of course it is!
Girl 2: Yeah! I wish I was her!

Anyone else think we're about to enter a cinematic dark age? Posted by OMLandshark on 7/21 at 4:30 am This shooting makes me sick to my stomach, and something tells me once the dust settles, the psychopath behind this is not going to be made the main villain in this by rights groups and spiral this completely out of control. The main villain will be Hollywood, and particullarly creative directors like Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorcese are going to be taking most of the blunt of this shit, no different than video games supposedly inspiring mass murders and Marilyn Manson inspiring the Columbine shooters. I know that with these psychopaths it was probably merely a matter of time before they exploded and killed many despite their interests in these artists works, but let's just ignore that for now. More or less, I think the creative film making process will die with "The Dark Knight Rises". Pretty much these producers will now approach their entire audience as potential psychopaths who are one scene away from mowing down a theatre, not normal people who will in no way do the violence shown on screen. I expect violence to decrease as a whole over the next 10 years. You can rest assured that they won't dare make a truly dark and great Batman film for the next say 20-30 years due to the fact that the films' darkness inspired this massacre. It wouldn't shock me "Django Unchained" were the first victim of this and had its violence forcibly edited by the studio. Also wouldn't shock me if they sent "Catching Fire" back for a rewrite so there would be less on-screen murder. Don't get me wrong, action and violence against non-human forces will be encouraged like Avatar, Transformers, Pirates of the Carribean, and Alice in Wonderland. They play it safe and the masses will go to it. The films are incredibly formulaic and don't push the envelope. These films if you'll notice are also run from a more production stand point to make as much money as humanly possible, instead of pushing it in a storytelling perspective. Pretty much I'm saying is that writers and directors visions that are controversial, violent, foul, or with a morally grey message (with any combination of the previous 3) will be discouraged by producers and the studios, and will from this point on adopt a more James Cameron or Michael Bay approach. Over-the-top villains, a forced message, and violence kept to merely cartoonish and completely nonbelievable standards. The producers will now be meddling to the extreme with great directors visions, and thus we'll now be victims to dozens upon dozens of Spiderman 3s. This punk, who I hope has the thrust of a thousand dicks destroy his arse in prison, has destroyed lives and mutilated cinema. James Holmes will do to cinema what Jerry Sandusky has done to college football, only the backlash won't be against a single institution. It will in my opinion damage creative filmmaking even further and be run completely by producers who rarely step foot on the set or truly immerse themselves in the filmmaking process.

Posted by BluegrassBelle on 7/21 at 5:29 am to OMLandshark quote: No. Mostly because the scapegoat as it stands is going to be gun control instead of movies, video games, and etc. But I also think people have been there and done that with the music industry and maybe realize that limiting those industries or blaming them is not the answer. You also can't underestimate how desensitized people have become to these things since events like Columbine. Now I will say we probably won't be seeing any violent movie theater scenes in movies anytime soon. Reply Back to Top |

quote: Legal guns become illegal ones. Everyone will say the shotgun is the best home defence weapon. So the handgun truly has zero use. I don't hate handguns, I have a couple. But one I bought in twenty minutes at a gun show. It is just too easy to get them, and the ammo for them. I guess that is "our right" but not every gun crime is with an "illegal" gun. How many shootings in Canada? The UK? France? Japan? Obviously our gun culture and the ease at which we make gun sales has contributed to our high rates of shooting homicides. Also, speaking of poli-talk, look at this heavily slanted piece on the shootings. Talk about tin-foil hat nut-jobs. Colorado Batman shooting shows obvious signs of being staged Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Helo on 7/21 at 6:34 am to OMLandshark It is easy to have a knee jerk reaction right after a traumatic event but to answer your question, If we enter a cinematic dark age, it will have zero to do with this shooting and will be pushed by the continuing expansion of the 'Michael Bay' effect. quote: Yes nothing like blaming others.

Holmes would've found another way to kill these people if he couldn't get guns. It may have been even worse. Those countries have different cultures, different beliefs, etc that contribute to their homicide rates as well. It's not all about the guns. You think if gun laws were stricter, we'd be better off? You should keep up with the news in Chicago. The have insane gun laws. Insane. Yet there's still crowds of people getting shot up fairly frequently out there. Illegal guns and gang violence.

Posted by OMLandshark on 7/21 at 6:49 am to Helo quote: I think it will be a bit of both. They will look at what Nolan's creative vision supposedly led to and may figure that a Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises is worth truly less than Michael Bay films. But there will also be another reason which will enable the cinematic dark age: China. China now has the second highest amount of ticket sales in the world. And please note this is of last year, when only 20 foreign films were permitted for theatrical release. Now, with last year being such a big success, they are now allowing for 34 films to be released each year. This has changed plots completely, from Battleship to Red Dawn. Film producers are now consciously thinking about the Chinese audience when they make these films. You know what China doesn't allow to be released in this country: R-Rated films. So regardless of this recent tragedy, there are going to be less R-Rated films regardless due to China's overwhelming presence (and I still have yet to see Prometheus because of this). So with China on the rise, this tragedy causing a national media and public shite storm, and the popcorn eating masses continuing to prove they'll pay for stupid bull shite (though for the most part I've been proud of film goers this year for what they're paying big money to see), the timing is perfect to frick everything up and make it a producer driven industry that plays it safe rather than creative driven industry like most writers and directors want it.

College, the good old days. I remember it like it was just yesterday. The smell of dorms, the beautiful people walking throughout the campus everyday, the disgusting dining hall food, the brainkilling finals that required you to study 50 chapters the night before. I remember it all like it was yesterday. Continue reading
Managing My Finances The Smart Way—No More Manual Paper Work
The other day I was having coffee with a friend at Starbucks and something hit me. We occasionally meet up to catch up on life and see how we're both doing and this is someone I have great respect for. I woke up late for our coffee-meet and she hates waiting, so I made it a priority to not be late.
How Technology Has Made Traveling Easier For Me
During the summer of 2013, I recall that I was traveling to New York to visit family relatives. I come from a family that believes in keeping in touch and getting together once or twice during the year. I chose summer because I've heard a lot of great things about New York during the summer time and wasn't sure if I wanted to go there during the Winter.
How I Keep Fit With All My Computer Work
During the day I usually do a lot of work on the computer, but we all know the way sitting at your desk the whole day can affect our body. However, I believe in taking care of myself and keeping my body fit and healthy. I understand the importance of it and that how good I feel depends on it. That is why I always try to maintain a balanced diet and have an every day rigorous exercise routine.
If you are like me and spend most of your workday not actively but working behind a computer, then maybe the following tips that I use myself to keep fit will also be useful to you.
- Morning runs. Every day I start with a jog around the park near my home. I believe that a morning run is a perfect start for a morning. It helps me to stay fit and fills me with energy for the whole day.
- Drinking lots of water. We all know about drinking enough water every day. At the same time I try to stay away from sodas, coffee and alcohol, though I could never say no to my regular morning coffees.
- I follow a Paleo diet. Our health depends on what we eat, that is why I mostly include natural produce in my diet. Most of my meals consist of farmed, natural and locally grown produced. You can try out many different Paleo recipes. You can make up your own or use online resources, like the http://www.paleodietgrocerylist.net that has a lot of information to help you with that. The Paleo diet can help to loose weight, then maintain it a healthy level.
- Every 30 minutes or so I make a break and stretch and take a little walk around the room. It can be just a couple of minutes, just get those muscles moving. I can make a break to make a call and walk around while talking on the phone. Or sometimes during those couple of minutes, I'll just stand up and do some dancing to my favorite tune, which makes a good break not for just the body but also for the mind.
- Take walks at lunchtime or after work. For lunch I often like going out to meet some friends and on the way I prefer doing some walking. Even if I am lunching at home, I'll go out to just walk around the block or around the nice park that I have right by my place. And if the weather is nice I also get some natural sunlight while walking.
- Maintain my hobbies. My work usually takes a lot of my time. I sometimes I work late into the night. However, I never forget to maintain my hobbies to keep myself active. I still like to go out for a nice bike around my area whenever I get the time in the evenings. The work sometimes keeps me busy even on weekends, but whenever I can and when the weather is perfect I try to go out of town for hiking and some time with the nature.
Startup ShipHawk Aims To Make Shipping Process Seamless
A tech shipping startup known as ShipHawk aims to turn the shipping world on it's head by providing seamless shipping integration online stores and large item auction houses. They'veexpaned their carrier network which is currently supporting over sixty regional and national carriers. Some of these carriers include, blanket wrap, LTL, courier, small parcel and intermodal transportation providers like Roadrunner Transportation, Greyhound, Justo blanket wrap delivery service and Pilot Freight Service while naming a few.
Shipping has long been a stressing, hard, complex and even difficult activity for those who have had an opportunity to engage in it. For this reason, ShipHawk is fully committed to simplify shipping process for anyone and everyone. Having some shipping experience, I know first hand how much of a headache it is to ship pretty much any large item.
Seting up a shipment is fast and easy. It take just a few minutes, depending on how many items you're shipping. ShipHawk takes care of it regardless of whether your item is pakced or not. With the extension of the carrier network, the company aims at bridging the gap between the carrier and the shippers.
The company, through CTO, Aaron Freeman, has also announced that new and current customers have equal chances to access the on demand shipping and packing information. By doing so, customers will enjoy a shipping experience that not only meets but exceeds their expectations.
With ShipHawk, the user only informs the company what they're shipping and leaves the rest to the ShipHawk staff to carry out. ShipHawk has steamlined the process and in order to attempt to lower the cost of transporting goods from one place to another. This whole process has now become easy for anyone with any shipping experience to use. This has greatly streamlined the shipping process.
The user gets a chance to decide whether they want to book the job immediately or they want to compare rates from other areas that this company suggests getting quotes from. You don't have to worry about how to pack stuff or how to organize the delivery process, this is all taken care of.
ShipHawk is located in Santa Barbara, CA. It is a Starup Tech Company that seeks to simplify the process of comparing and finding shipping and packaging rates. They offer a simple shipping experience by making options accessible and transparency. This is in regardless of how much you are shipping or whom you are.
For their system to match your shipping requirements with optimal carrier, ShipHawk accumulates logistics and transportation data from umpteen local, national and regional shipping carriers. If you would compare packaging combinations, mode alternatives, truck routes, lane imbalances, times among others you would realize that this company has the best deals when it comes to shipping.
The ShipHawk crew is doing all they can by combining all their efforts in order to offer the best to shippers. They are also aiming at making things easy in this industry to make the shipping process simple, economical and time saving.
How Can the Internet Help You Choose Your Career?
Higher education, today, is becoming more of a civil right than a privilege which is why so many people are enrolled in some college, seeking higher education. If the lack of proper career counseling information which was so typical half a century ago had kept up, today's diversity of careers would mean that there was an even higher probability of people getting into the wrong field and ending up unhappy with their career. Thankfully, this isn't the case because of the internet, which has brought together information and people in a manner which never ceases to amaze, as I can affirm from personal experience.
Being the type of person who can't make a firm decision on their own, I was in a state of utter confusion upon graduating from high school without a fixed career planned for my professional life. There was a lot of psychological pressure on me due to many of my friends going off to colleges to study law, medicine and business. I figured that I should get a move on and pick out a career for myself but wasn't sure how to go about that – all I knew was that it should be something that was both enjoyable and educational for me, like specializing in a hobby. For me, the ideal college education would have something to do with my pastime of tinkering with old guns – I didn't want to be a lawyer, doctor or manager just because it was the fashionable thing to do.
With such a unique requirement for my degree, it was naturally hard to find good career advice from the traditional sources – there were no friends or family who had any information so I turned to the Internet and was amazed at the amount of guidance available specific to my chosen career path. I discovered whole forums dedicated to gunsmithing and gun collection where real life professionals and hobbyists answered my queries as to where I should go to earn a gunsmithing college degree. Not only this, there were many schools who detailed their gunsmithing programs on their websites but since I was a total newcomer as far as weighing the pros and cons of smithing schools, I turned my attention to actually learning something about what it means to be a professional gunsmith. The internet, with its vast sea of information, didn't fail to disappoint here either since a simple search engine query revealed a vast collection of websites dedicated towards guiding total novices who aspired to become gunsmiths. Not only did these websites explain the basics requirements for becoming a gun expert, they also detailed the professional aspects of gunsmithing, including potential salaries associated with various specializations in the field and even entrepreneurial guides on how to kick start one's gunsmithing business. In just one week, I knew more about this profession than I ever had before in my life and was all set to send out application letters to several gunsmithing colleges all over the country – I was able to choose the ones that were right for me because of the detailed information and reviews that were available on the internet. For an excellent resource on gunsmithing and gunsmithing schools, click here.
To sum up my experiences, technology has progressed to the point where, provided you show some commitment, you can plan out your entire higher education from the comfort of your home. In my case, I found everything from guidance on the best gunsmithing schools to the best air mattress's for my dorm room from simple search engine searches on the internet!
How To Use A Gun Safes App To Manage Your Guns
It seems just about everybody in the US nowadays owns a weapon. In fact it's more likely that if you own a weapon you actually own several of them if not more.
Here in the US gun ownership is on the up and up. More and more people are feeling the need to purchase a firearm, or a number of firearms, for personal protection, or for other uses, for example because they are a sporting shooter who enjoys hunting.
Modern technology is producing all sorts of solutions to various problems, and one of these solutions is a new app, called Gun Safe, which can be used to track your firearms on your phone.
Of course the term "gun safe" does not refer to an app but to a particular type of safe which is used to store firearms securely under lock and key. Every firearm owner should have a gun safe to lock up their weapons when not in use.
Firearms, obviously, are extremely dangerous and should always be responsibly locked away if not being used. Every firearms owner should purchase a quality gun safe to do so. If in doubt about which gun safe to purchase read some quality gun safe reviews at http://www.gunsafeadviser.com/gun-safe-reviews/.
Our personal preference is Stack-On gun safes, see http://www.gunsafeadviser.com/stack-on, however as long as you purchase a quality gun safe all is good.
However this app is also called "Gun Safe" which is a little confusing as it does not refer to the physical gun safes. It is in fact an app which you can use to store data about all your various firearms so that you have the data available to you on your phone.
What can you store on your gun safe app?
Wouldn't it be handy to know exactly how much ammunition you had left at any one time? You're out in the guns store and you're wondering whether or not you need to purchase more ammunition. Pull out your phone and there is all the data of exactly how much ammunition you have left for each weapon.
Wouldn't it be handy to have all the details on your phone of every single weapon that you own? The name of the weapon, a photograph, the serial number, details of licences and so on.
Let's say your house burned down and you lost all your weapons (which you shouldn't if you have a high quality fireproof gun safe). You come to claim on the insurance and right there on your phone you have a photograph of every single weapon you own together with all the pertinent details. Wouldn't that be handy?
Let's say you're heading into another state. What are the firearm and CCW weapons laws in that state? Wouldn't it be handy to just pull out your phone and find out, state by state?
You can achieve all of this, and more, with the Gun Safe app. Simply buy it for a few dollars and load it on your phone and you're good to go. Spend a little time inputting your data recording each of your firearms, upload a photo, and you've got all of your data right there in your hand.
(And remember, if you don't own a real gun safe then get one straightaway, it's a very important responsibility on your shoulders if you're a firearm owner).
How Technologization Improved Hunting Experience
By nature, I am definitely a technology devotee. Technology has changed rapidly for thousands of years, and in more aspects than one. I know that it has definitely made a change for me in one of my favorite hobbies, which is hunting. It is nice to live in a modern society where I, as the hunter, have the upper hand with the advancement of both weapons and clothing.
Technologization improved the hunting experience in a number of ways. Clothing, specifically made for hunting purposes, has advanced over the years in terms of materials. The amalgamation of wool and fleece jackets and pants created with Goretex are amazing. Don't hesitate to add an orange fleece vest so that you are prepared for the climate shifts. Keep yourself warm or cool with the proper layers of underwear and/or scent control.
Boots insulated with Goretex or Thinsulate will keep your feet warm and protected. Make sure there is scent control. You can tell how warm the boots are by the grams of Thinsulate, the more the merrier! Also, leather is the best material to use for protection and durability. Wool-blended socks should be warn instead of cotton because of sweat.
Cell phones can be used on your hunting trip. It is good for emergencies and to alert your hunting pals about spotted targets. A GPS and compass are great ideas to have included in your smartphone. Still, bring a handheld GPS to help you get back to camp and inform you about area boundaries between public and private land. Another great capability is that a GPS, depending on its brand, can use SD cards for memory purposes.
Optics are very valuable in hunting. A perfect execution can be made when you can see the game clearly. Enhanced hues and highlighted coatings make close and clear views. Invest in power optics and you will be glad you made the change. For accurate range, save up for a range finder. If you are at a lengthy distance, you can get increased accuracy with this tool.
I love using my rifles to hunt a deer or rabbit for a meal (with potatoes!). Hunting air rifles have great accuracy, especially those with stainless steel barrels. Another advantage? It is easier to clean. The technology behind bullets have improved as well. Avoid cheap ammunition and purchase high-quality rounds. In-depth penetration with the polymer tip bullets and greater expansion is what attract hunters and firearm enthusiasts to purchase them.
If you do not want to use a rifle, look into bows. They can be lightweight and can make a hit up to 100 yards. All you need is the right bow and you will be able to hit your target. This is a complete difference compared to a decade ago. The advancements of technology is evident each time we see new capabilities.
Times have truly changed so rapidly in only a few years. The changes made in the world of hunting has been beneficial in terms of preparation and better shooting technique. Also, tools such as GPSs and cell phones can allow us to look through areas and keep in contact with fellow hunters. This adventurous hobby of mine allows me to combine hunting and technology, two of my most favorite things in the world, and have pure fun.
The "Tech" Behind High Tech Home Security Systems
There is something really cool on my mind today that I need to share. I'm always writing about the cool stuff I get to play around with and places I go and with all that travelling you might be wondering how I keep an eye on things and make sure it is all safe and sound. Well I'm going to share the awesome tech that does just that, and along with protecting my home and myself from danger, does some really cool stuff.
Security is a really important concern, one of the basics according to the hierarchy of needs in fact. Today we have many security concerns from home security to personal, online, financial and concerns about how to be safe in different countries, while on vacation and while doing just about anything including simply walking down the street. If you listen to a lot of the news that airs these days you might be scared senseless and afraid to even go outside. While I don't think it is as bad as all that, there are still concerns I have about safety and security and one of the ones I know I can do something about is home security, which is one of the things I often worry about when I'm away for a bit.
A security system, with all the sensors, detectors and panels is a big project to take on and so before I took on the challenge of getting my own I got the expert opinions and comparisons on the best home alarm systems from sites like SecuritySystemsAdvice.org and other industry leaders, as well as doing my own personal research of the companies themselves (ie. LifeShield, FrontPoint, etc) and now I can share with you all the awesome details I learned about the tech that goes into protecting a home.
First off are the sensors. There are the normal ones that have been around for a while, the magnetic window/door open sensors and the motion detectors but there are also some pretty cool ones that you might not know about if you haven't had a security system in a while. First are the glass break sensors, the updated way to protect windows from the old open/close sensors, and let's be honest, unless you leave the window open or unlocked a criminal is much more likely to just break the glass than open the window. These sensors are cool because they can protect an entire room and they work via sound detection which is pretty neat. They work by detecting two sounds that go along with glass breaking, first they detect a "thud" sound, then a "smash" sound. A lot of new technology went into making these effective and they are one of the coolest new sensors available, very effective and much simpler than the old method, plus they work on windows that don't open, such as those in and around doors, which are frequently targeted.
The next high tech upgrade that modern alarm systems have over old varieties is the ability to remote access via smartphones, tablets and PCs. They basically give you full control over your system from anywhere, plus allow you to check video cameras, motion detection cameras and other functions from anywhere. The video cameras are especially cool, with the pan-and-tilt variety being the most interesting. You can manually manipulate this kind of camera to check a wide range, even right above or below, depending how it is mounted.
This mobile integration leads right into the next, and probably most interesting part of the system, and that is the home automation aspect. Home automation is exactly what it sounds like, it allows you to automate those annoying tasks that need to be done but are often forgotten. Most notably are the thermostat and lights. I can set my thermostat to different temperatures depending on if I'm at home, asleep or out of the house, which saves money. The lights are great for vacationing as I can have them come on at night to make it look like I'm home, which is pretty standard, but I can also change the time they come on and off from my phone. I can even hook the timers up to other appliances to have them come on at specific times as well, so a window air condition can come on a few minutes before I get home to cool things down or I can have it turn on the TV along with the lights when I'm away to really throw anyone off who might be looking for an easy mark.
I can't cover every cool piece of equipment or interesting use here, but there are a few more I think you should check out here if you're looking for the best home alarm system and want to know just how to install and use all the functions to their best. Now that I'm setup I find that I worry less when I'm away and feel more sleep when I lay down at night too, all in all a great investment.

How GPS Helps Drivers Get to Places Quicker and Safer
GPS equipment and devices are commonly used inside of many automobiles and even inside motorcycle helmets. This technology is designed to help drivers to reach their destinations in a quick and efficient manner. Here is a list of GPS features that can be used to safely and efficiently guide drivers while they are out on the road.
Pinpointing an Exact Location
GPS technology has the ability to pinpoint a person's exact location in relation to a map and has been especially helpful in the truck driving industry for new drivers learning the ropes. This feature is very important for drivers because it can help them to track their position in real-time while they travel. When a driver knows where they are at they can drive more confidently and decisive.
Plotting Routes
Motorist can now use their GPS units to plot the fastest way to get to a place. This feature is important because it will help people to save time and gas when they travel to a location. Drivers have to put in the information about a particular location and their equipment will give them data about the fastest way to reach that point.
Traffic Information
Advance GPS technology allows motorists to receive updates from news announcements from the web about traffic problems and issues. Once a unit receives this information it could then alert a driver to a potential problem out on the road.
Safety Camera Identification
Motorist can use their GPS units to avoid being ticketed by safety cameras. Updated GPS technology is able to provide this feature by using satellites and sensors to detect the locations of stationary safety cameras. When a driver accesses an area with a camera the unit can be set to inform him about its location and position.
Locating Places of Interest
GPS units have the ability used to track the locations of restaurants, movie theaters and night clubs within an area. This way motorists can find what they are looking for without having to struggle to find a place of interest. GPS units can provide drivers in different cities with directions that they will need to find a specific location.
Nighttime Driving and GPS Technology
GPS technology gives drivers the ability to ride on the road more efficiently during night-time hours. Vehicle operators will be able to safely navigate dark roads road by following their location as it unfolds across an electronic map in real-time. Motorists will be able to detect turns and curves long before they appear. This feature can even help people to drive through bad weather.
GPS Communication
Advanced GPS units have the ability to communicate with drivers in real-time. They can even tell them if they are driving in the wrong lane on a city street. GPS units with the ability to communicate can be used to call for help and can give directions or information in real-time.
A good GPS unit is a great feature to have for people who do a lot of driving and they are also good for recreational use. GPS technology really does work to help people to reach their destinations in the shortest time possible with safety in mind.

Thus, if you have a home business and you wish to promote it, then go for an online campaign. If this is your first time to do such type of advertising campaign, here are some tips that you can follow:
- Host your own blog site. This is where you will write things related to your business.

How Technology Can Make Our Lives, And Us, Better
Technology has, without a doubt, improved our quality of life significantly. Okay, so maybe I'm not the best person that should be saying this because I'm an absolute tech nerd, but really, modern technology has given us so much. For instance, we are able to communicate with each much easier than we were able to 20 or 30 years ago. Just think how much cell phones help us on a daily basis, whether it's for business or personal matters. And not just cell phones. High-speed internet, coupled with software such as Skype, has enabled us to communicate with just about anyone on the globe. To be fair, you could have done that before, but you would have probably had a stroke at the end of the month when you had received your telephone bill. Nowadays, you can talk for free for as long as you want.
Also, if you want to buy something, it is available for you online, and all you have to do is click on that tiny "Buy" button, and it will be delivered to you in a matter of hours or days. But, those are just some of the creature comforts we have come to embrace as something normal. The internet can also be used to help others, and not just ourselves. It is the perfect medium to spread the word or raise awareness about a certain issue or a problem.
I was recently doing some research into medical careers and came across a range of websites with tons of information about different medical careers and salaries – like http://nursesalaryguide.net/ – it covered several nurse specialties including Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners. Another site – here – dealt specifically with becoming a medical assistant, covering lots of salary data. The point is – in a very short time I had gathered a massive amount of information, my research was made incredibly quick and easy thanks to the internet!
It doesn't have be nursing or medical careers, you can connect with people in your line of work, regardless of what you do, just by doing a simple thing such as creating a group on Facebook, writing your own blog, or starting up a website, or better yet, a forum.
It is things like that that help people connect with each other, share experiences and expertise, and even make them decide to do something that can have a significant positive impact. All they have to do is take their collective knowledge, which can be considerable, and apply it to achieve a certain goal or a mission.
Furthermore, the internet is one big library, with vast amounts of knowledge. You can pretty much learn anything, if you put enough effort into it. I, for one, have learned to speak a new language, solely though courses, books and materials I found on the internet. I even managed to improve my accent, by meeting some native speakers online, and chatting with them on Skype. And it doesn't have to be a foreign language. It's even better if you are more oriented toward visual arts, such as design, drawing, photography or cinematography.
There is a whole mountain of useful and informative content if you are into that kind of stuff. It may even help you discover a talent you didn't even know you had, which can eventually become a career. If not, there's always the satisfaction of learning something new, and that is still pretty cool in my book.
How the use of a water softener has saved me considerable time and money around the house
Your home is your biggest liability for a number of reasons, but the one which always gets me is maintenance costs. It seems like it's a never ending job when it comes to keeping your house in good shape, costing you money, and time in the process.
You will be happy to know that there are certain technologies that make house maintenance a little less painful, for example, have you go your hands on an automatic vacuum robot yet? It's my duty to share what I've been benefiting from, and how you can too.
My latest discovery: The water softening system.
How I decided to install a water softener
One day while I was on all fours scrubbing the ever-so-present soap scum from my shower screens, I decided I'd had enough set out on a mission to find a cleaning product that would make the task easier and quicker. After a little research and a lot of failed product attempts (I won't mention names) I was defeated; I could not seem to make the task easier.
During my last trip to Walmart, the cashier suggested that my problem was hard water, and that if I installed a water softener system, my problems would be gone. Was the solution really this simple? I came across www.watersoftenercritic.com and after reading some water softener reviews, made a decision to purchase a salt-based system.
What is a water softener?
A water softener is basically a machine which turns hard water (which is water full of minerals such as magnesium and calcium) into soft water (which is additive-free water). Hard water was my problem; it has a range of negative effects; it leaves soap scum 'scale' on all surfaces it touches and damages clothing among other things.
The technology that water softeners use
I went for a salt-based water softening system after discovering that they are the most effective from the 4 choices available. A salt-based system uses technology that exchanges hard water ions for soft water ions, leaving you with soft water in the process. Simple, yet brilliant!
Benefits and how it's saving me money
Soft water has a range of benefits:
- Reduces plumbing problems – hard water leaves mineral scale on the inside of your pipes and fixtures, which means after long enough they will become blocked and you will require an expensive visit from the plumber. Soft water, however, does not!
- Less time and money dealing with soap scum- The soap scum marks you find in your showers and sinks, which was the bane of my existence, are the direct result of a reaction between soap and the minerals found in hard water. Once you have soft water, you'll find you use less cleaning product and less time, when dealing with soap scum.
- Appliance shelf life – Hard water will reduce the life of any appliance that uses heated water in its process e.g. dishwashers, hot water systems, and other appliances. I start each day with a fresh nutrient filled juice from my awesome juicing machine which I found at The juicer fanatics (who review the best juicers on the market). I sleep easier at night knowing hard water is no longer damaging my favorite appliances.
- Softer clothing – Hard water has a terrible effect on clothes you wash with it; they become brittle and lose color. Soft water is ideal for washing your clothes in, and will actually make them last longer.
After about 6 months of running on soft water, I begun to notice considerable short term cost and time savings around my home. I'm yet to see the longer term benefits, but I suspect they will be huge; appliances will last longer and I will require less visits from the plumbing doctor. The best part of this technology is that its maintenance free; once installed, with minimal effort you can realize huge time and cost benefits for years to come.
Taking A Pregnancy Test While Travelling The World.
It's pretty hard to find any one area of our lives that has not been affected by technology. There are just so many things which a few decades ago was the stuff of a James Bond flick or a sci-fi movie, and today, is a simple convenience that we almost take for granted. Look at emails for example, or skyping friends in different countries. Not too long ago this was stuff only James Bond could pull off with the help of his super gadgets. But we live in a world today where the most amazing technology is right at our fingertips. There are just so many ways that technology makes our lives easier.
And it's not just the big inventions from Microsoft that have contributed to the simplicity of our daily existence, but there have been so many great little innovations that also deserve a mention. I love the way technology impacts upon the way my father manages his diabetes for example. Those little insulin tests are a brilliant at-home product that just makes his life so much simpler. And have you ever stopped to consider how brilliant a home pregnancy test is?
Last year my girlfriend and I were on holiday in Asia and she had a pregnancy scare. With no doctor around that she had a long standing doctor patient relationship with and trusted enough to consult and following an online pregnancy test calculator, like this, our nerves were soon calmed by her popping into a local drug store in Thailand and purchasing a pregnancy test. And within minutes the answer to our problem was solved.
Now that right there is a modern day technological innovation that we take for granted. I've heard though that most people (about fifty two percent of people) don't really trust the first result that they get from a home pregnancy test. It seems that whenever someone takes one of these tests, they always feel the need to do a follow up test, and then visit a doctor for another test, "just to be sure". Leading experts however, have gone on record stating that this is entirely unnecessary. Apparently the result you get from these types of home pregnancy tests are highly reliable, as outlined in this guide, and there is really no need for a follow up test for confirmation, as you can just go with that first result and take it as confirmed.
Have you ever wondered how these tests work? I mean think about it, how could these tests possibly come up with a correct answer as to whether you're going to have a baby or not? Well the answer is scientifically pretty simple. Apparently once a woman is pregnant her body releases a hormone called hCG. Scientists advise that once the egg has been fertilized in the uterus a woman's body will release this hormone. The at home pregnancy tests are designed to detect this hormone. If your test result is positive you will probably not need to confirm it, as the hormone is clearly present. If however your test result is negative, it may mean that the level of this hormone has not risen high enough to be detected yet, so negative results are less accurate. And that is how it works; simple but brilliant.

Well you are simply wrong.
In March of 1999 Steve Jobs made a new announcement, Apple was giving away some of its source code. Apple then introduced Darwin. He also stated that Darwin itself was going to be Open Source, this announcement immediately drew Open Source developers, including myself, out of the woodwork and immediately drew support from the Open Source community. This announcement also ended the FSF Boycott that the Free Software foundation had laid on Apple Computer. Darwin is based on the original NeXTStep implementation of Mach brought over from NeXT Computer. Darwin 1.0 was released shortly after the announcement and while it was primarily for Apple PowerPC based computers, preliminary support for Intel based machines was built into Darwin.So in reality Apple actually open sourced most of the code from NeXTStep. The core of OS X is open source including Darwin and the code is released around the time when the system update is pushed to massess.NeXTSTEP (also written NeXTstep, NeXTStep, and NEXTSTEP[1]) was the object-oriented, multitasking operating system developed by NeXT Computer to run on its range of proprietary workstation computers, such as the NeXTcube. It was later ported to several other computer architectures.

Thanks to those who gave their all so that we may live in freedom.
Thanks to those who gave their all so that we may live in freedom.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Ba-bump! But it's more than just one day; it should be every day. :salute: Thank you all!
"That's what Sheev said."
Just could not believe the wide-spread confusion (helped mightily by a befuddled media) between Memorial Day and Veterans' Day. Sheesh! Let's get it right, folks!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I heard a few reporters and anchors who realized their mistake(s) when they were thanking current "veterans" as Memorial Day people.
If I'm right...
- Memorial Day (last Monday in May; those who've died in action)
- Veterans' Day (Nov. 11; those who've served in military; formerly Armistice Day for WWI treaty)
- Armed Forces Day (May 18th [?]; those who are/have been in military)
- Independence Day (Jul. 4; when we repelled those s... or started a new country)
- Patriot Day (Sep. 11; commemorating 9/11 events)
- Patriots Day (third Mon. in April; commemorating Lexington/Concord battles)
- Flag Day (Jun. 14; for Old Glory)
"That's what Sheev said."
And Memorial Day originated after the Civil War, and was formerly known as Decoration Day.
I also just found out that Presidents' Day is still officially called Washington's Birthday, at least as a federal holiday.
Our community center is having their flag disposal urn dedication on Monday. I plan to be there.
"That's what Sheev said."
And despite the cloudless sky and hot temps, it was a wonderful ceremony. The pictures below don't do it justice.
"That's what Sheev said."
This Friday will be the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
"That's what Sheev said."

NIKE LAUNCHES CALVIN JOHNSON'S CJ81 COLLECTION INSPIRED BY MEGATRONNike celebrates a long-standing weekend of football and an athlete that has truly transformed the game.
In celebration of Thanksgiving weekend, Nike celebrates a long-standing weekend of football and an athlete that has truly transformed the game. The Nike CJ81 Collection Inspired by Megatron speaks to WR Calvin Johnson's rare combination of physical talent and mental toughness. This menacing combination creates a prototypical specimen that undoubtedly deserves a moniker like Megatron. Much like the fictional character, Johnson relies on his uncanny ability to pull out an arsenal of physical strengths or "weapons" based on anything he encounters on the field.
The collection, inspired by the Hasbro Transformers character created in 1984, features iconic Nike silhouettes across lifestyle, training and performance including the CJ81 Nike Air Max Flyposite, CJ81 Nike Huarache Free Shield, CJ81 Nike Vapor Jet Glove 2.0, CJ81 Nike Vapor Football Sock, CJ81 Nike True Adjustable Hat, and the CJ81 Nike KO Hoody.
Merging the old and new, the traditional Transformers grid pattern and colors of black, silver, purple and blue from the original Megatron packaging, help highlight the CJ81 logo design.
The limited collection will be available starting November 23 at several Nike retail locations as well as Nike Yardline at Champs Sports and Eastbay online.

Weird. I mean good on TF/Nike for the effort, but it's just done in such an odd way. It's almost like a knock-off collection instead of a licensed collabo piece.

I suspect unless you are very careful those figures aren't going to look pretty.
Keep in mind that a lot of artists have already invested a couple of years and several 10s of thousands in Max or Maya (say doing a 3 year degree) that isn't going to be counted into the equation. There are still some patchy parts of import/export for some game engines.

Wood welcomes pressure in Braves' rotation
Southpaw ready to step up as No. 2 starter; Brewers counter with Lohse
Braves left-hander Alex Wood, who was a redshirt sophomore in the University of Georgia's rotation two years ago, got a taste of pressure when he came out of the bullpen in Games 1 and 3 of last season's National League Division Series against the Dodgers. With Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy done for the season and Mike Minor working back from injury, Wood is ready to assume an increased role early in 2014 and deal with even more pressure as he takes the hill on Tuesday at Miller Park as Atlanta's No. 2 starter.
"I'm excited, because I feel like there are a lot more expectations for me this year," Wood said. "I like the expectations, because I feel like that is what keeps you focused. I can't wait to get out there tomorrow."
Wood, who posted a 3.13 ERA in 77 2/3 MLB innings last year, faces a Brewers club that mashed southpaws in 2013. Milwaukee ranked second in the NL and fifth in the Majors with a .267 (371-for-1389) clip against left-handers.
Ryan Braun, who played Monday after serving a 65-game suspension to end last season, hit .368 (28-for-76) against southpaws in 2013. Jean Segura hit .317 (45-for-142), Carlos Gomez hit .315 (40-for-127) and Jonathan Lucroy hit .312 (39-for-125).
Milwaukee will also start right-handed batters Rickie Weeks at second base and Mark Reynolds at first base in place of lefties Scooter Gennett and Lyle Overbay. But the left-right platoon at those two positions is not set in stone.
"We're going to try not only just go left-right, but when the matchup is right, Reynolds will be in there more, Rickie will be in there more," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Then we'll just play it out. I think they're all going to get their at-bats, but whoever's doing better is going to be out there more."
Will figuring out a healthy balance between Milwaukee's options at first and second base prove tough for Roenicke?
"It may be," Roenicke said. "Even [Monday] was tough figuring out who would start between the first basemen and the second basemen. ... Somehow, I've got to figure out how much matchups overcome just right-on-right and left-on-left."
Until Roenicke decides what he will do long term, the Brewers will simply try to match previous success against lefties when they start a mostly right-handed lineup against Wood on Tuesday as they look to back right-hander Kyle Lohse.
Lohse, who posted a 3.35 ERA in 2013, hopes to capitalize on a Braves lineup that has been shut out in six of Atlanta's past nine games against the Brewers.
Lohse pitched the most recent Milwaukee shutout of Atlanta, giving up only two hits and striking out five in nine scoreless innings at Turner Field on Sept. 25, 2013.
If the Braves continue to struggle offensively against the Brewers on Tuesday, they will put the kind of pressure on Wood that the young left-hander craves in his new role.
Brewers: Aramis comes up big
• Aramis Ramirez, who hit .438 (7-for-16) against Atlanta last season, continued his success against the Braves on Monday by finishing 2-for-3 with a two-run double in the bottom of the fourth. He also came through with his glove, making a diving play to rob Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons of what would have been his third base hit of the game.
Braves: Minor, Floyd receive rehab assignments
• Minor will serve as the Opening Day starter for Double-A Mississippi in a rehab start on Thursday. Right-hander Gavin Floyd will also make a rehab start on Thursday, taking the hill for Triple-A Gwinnett at Durham.
Minor is coming back slowly from a nagging shoulder that came about when he started throwing again after recovering from surgery on his urethra. Floyd is in the process of returning from Tommy John surgery.
"[Minor] and Gavin are lined up about the same day some place," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said on Saturday. "Assuming everything goes well for both of those individuals, we'll get them back end of April."
• The Braves achieved the first overturned call as a result of MLB's new replay rules in the bottom of the sixth against the Brewers.
Ryan Braun was initially safe with a leadoff infield single on a close throw from third baseman Chris Johnson, but a challenge by Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez resulted in a review that lasted approximately 58 seconds before the umpires ruled Braun out.
• Right-hander Gus Schlosser and left-hander Ian Thomas each made their MLB debuts as part of relief appearances during Monday's 2-0 loss to the Brewers.
Thomas gave up a hit and got former Brave Lyle Overbay to ground out to first in the seventh. Schlosser pitched 1 2/3 scoreless frames with a strikeout to finish the game.
Worth noting
• Lohse owns a 4.26 ERA in 11 career starts against the Braves, but has give up only two earned runs in his past two starts against them.
• Simmons entered Monday's game with a team-best .316 (6-for-19) career average at Miller Park. He finished 2-for-3 on Opening Day to raise that average to .333.

The Triple Bottom Line: Not a Zero Sum Game
19 October, 2012 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
In his webcast, Professor Bhattacharya will point out that it is not enough nowadays for companies to "do well" (Profit). Companies need to "do good" as well for communities (People) and the environment (Planet). Achieving this triple bottom line (People, Planet, Profit) is not a zero sum game but these linkages and strategies are often underexplored as most companies are largely in the dark when it comes to understanding how their stakeholders think and feel about their Corporate Responsibility (CR) programs. Based on the research in his book, Prof. Bhattacharya suggests that stakeholders' responses to a company's CR initiatives are driven by three levers: Understanding, Usefulness and Unity (the 3U's model). Drawing on empirical research insights, Prof. Bhattacharya points out how companies can maximize the value of their CR initiatives by fostering strong stakeholder relationships to develop, implement, and evaluate compelling social responsibility programs that generate value for both the company and society.
Audience: Executives in charge of corporate citizenship, community involvement, corporate social responsibility and sustainability, business ethics & compliance, corporate communications, public affairs and public relations, foundations and contributions managers and other professionals responsible for integrating community and business management strategies across the global enterprise

PSA recognizes individuals and clubs for their exceptional service with PSA Service Awards. There are many outstanding individuals and clubs who volunteer their time and efforts to make the activities of the Society successful and/or to provide valuable photographic help and assistance to community endeavors. It is important that these volunteers are thanked for their efforts, and PSA members are encouraged to propose or endorse deserving individuals and clubs.
The Service Awards Committee is composed of five PSA members who serve five year terms. The President appoints one member each year and the most senior member of the Committee is the Chair. The Service Awards Committee reports to the Executive Vice President.
PSA Service Award proposals may be submitted anytime during the year, and awarded locally as appropriate, if favorably processed by the committee. However, if the person receiving the award will be attending the PSA Annual Conference, it is preferred that his or her Service Award be presented during the Opening Meeting of the PSA Annual Conference. In order to be presented at the PSA Annual Conference, completed proposals need to be submitted to the Service Awards Committee Chair no later than August 1 of the year they are to be presented at the conference. Club service awards are expected to be made at the PSA Annual Conference with a representative of the club present to receive it.
Service Awards
Deadline: August 1 (to be eligible for presentation at the PSA Annual Conference) |
PSA Service Awards are presented to PSA members in recognition of outstanding service to the Society. These awards are not based on photographic performance, but are given for exceptional service to the Society via local, regional, national, or international efforts that advance the Society's Mission or contribute to the accomplishments of the Society. A Service Award can be presented to a member who has initiated a new service or completed a special project for PSA. There is a minimum waiting period of five years between receiving successive PSA Service Awards for Individuals.
Club Service Awards are presented in recognition of photography service efforts made by PSA-member clubs in communities worldwide. The award recognizes clubs participation in photographic projects of a civic nature such as town or area publicity, welfare and charity fund-raising, historical documentation, animal adoption, nature conservancy, community promotion, free holiday or event portraits, and education in the art and craft of photography. There is a minimum waiting period of three years between receiving successive PSA Service Awards for Clubs. |
Any PSA member may propose a PSA member or a PSA-member club for a PSA Service Award. The proposal also needs to be endorsed by two additional PSA members. Club members, who are PSA members, may propose or endorse their own club. PSA Board Members may propose or endorse members or member clubs (but not their own club) for Service Awards. Board Members are not eligible to receive a Service Award.
The PSA Service Award Proposal as an interactive PDF (pdf) file is available to be completed and submitted to the Committee Chair via email. The PSA Service Award Proposal as a Word doc (.doc) can also be downloaded, printed, typed, and mailed to the Committee Chair.
Service that does not involve photography can be included in the proposal, but the importance of this service would be less than photographic service.
For a Club Service Award the Proposer may also include supporting documents not to exceed three pages. Supporting documents might be, for example, newspaper publicity, documentation showing the involvement of the club, an event program, a PSA Journal article, or record photographs of club service events.
