Auto record TV when receiving a skype call
Likes # 0
Posted November 13, 2012 at 3:53PM
I want to be able to get Skype calls while watching TV. If my mates ring then I want the program I am watching to automatically be recorded so I don't miss it. How do I do this?
At home I have a pogoplug which I bought for DLNA streaming. It's not great as it only streams certain formats of movies. So I installed Serviio on my Mac. That works fine, especially for live streams, but the downside is the Mac has to be on for it to work, and I don't want to leave a computer on 24-7.
However, as I also want Skype in the living room, so this got me thinking about Android devices, perhaps a DLNA client with Skype, but then how do I get it to automatically record what I am watching when a call comes in?
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think this can be done from within your PC/Skype etc - what you will need is something like BT Vision or Sky box which allows manipulating TV programs by recording fast-forwarding-playback etc. Google BT Vision and you will see what is possible (Sky will be similar).

Serene Blue Bedroom
A gallery wall above the bed makes good use of the room's high ceilings.
A combination of blue, taupe and mahogany brown is a timeless palette that gives this room its calm, sophisticated demeanor. Raw materials, such as the bed's linen slipcover, the bare wood picture frames and rattan basket add to the outdoorsy feel, which pairs nicely the vintage fauna artwork.

The RMPP is a red-meat sector and government collaboration
designed to boost sheep and beef farmer productivity and
It is being funded by the Ministry for Primary Industries
through its Primary Growth Partnership, as well as by
industry partners Alliance Group, ANZCO Foods, ANZ Bank, Beef
and Lamb New Zealand, Blue Sky Meats, Greenlea Premier Meats,
Progressive Meats, Rabobank and Silver Fern Farms.
Mrs Smith (35) and her husband Blair - winners of the 2012
national Ballance Farm Environment Awards - run Newhaven
Farms Ltd, a sheep, beef, forestry and dairy support
operation in North Otago.
When contacted, Mrs Smith said the RMPP was a ''wonderful
opportunity'' for the industry. However, it also presented a
significant challenge and was quite a responsibility.
''We need to make sure we get these returns from these
projects,'' she said.
Making it work and delivering on those things was not just
for the board to do, but also all farmers, she said.
It was the first time in the history of the industry the
various players had worked together on such an initiative,
along with the Crown.
The RMPP's newly appointed board includes chairman Malcolm
Bailey, Beef and Lamb NZ chief executive Scott Champion, Blue
Sky Meats chairman Graham Cooney, Brown Glassford director
Graham Brown and two independent directors - Lone Star Farms
owner Tom Sturgess and Mrs Smith.
Mr Bailey said the programme was about taking on board the
output of the red meat sector strategy - which was launched
in 2011 with the aim of almost doubling the value of the
sector's earnings - and setting up projects to deliver on
various recommendations.
'' It's not about structural change in the industry, it's
about focusing on what is within farmer control - and there
is significant financial upside from these projects,'' he

Apple: Beats Music to live on, could be swallowed by iTunes
When Apple acquired Beats Music earlier in the year, there were obvious fears that the service would shut down. While this type of rumor is often well-founded, it seems fears were misplaced on this occasion: Apple has no plans to shutter Beats Music. A company spokesperson made a statement to the Guardian making it clear that suggestions that the subscription music service is to close down are "not true". But could the brand end up being eaten by iTunes?
Beats Music has not been a runaway success. It has subscribers, but not all that many. With Apple's backing there is a chance that its popularity could increase, but it can be difficult to shake off the reputation of an old name -- Beats Music has singularly failed to reach the celebrated heights of Beats Electronic's headphones. Having spent $3 billion on Beats Music and Beats Electronic, it would be strange if Apple just gave up on a portion of its investment.
Apple: iOS 8 will keep your private data safe from the US Government
It's very important for us to know that the things we store on our mobile devices are safe from prying eyes. It gives us a sense of security knowing that our private thoughts, photos, videos and whatnot will only be seen by us and the people we share them with. But what if it is the US Government that wants to take a look? If the authorities get hold of our devices, what's to stop them from using search warrants to see what's in there?
If we are talking about iOS 8 devices, then its security design is standing in the government's way. Apple has updated its Legal Process Guidelines to reflect that it will be unable to extract data that its customers store on devices running its latest mobile operating system, as the key which unlocks the treasure trove is solely in its users' control.
How to prepare your iPhone and/or iPad for iOS 8
The latest version of Apple's mobile operating system is set to be released officially today.
Before you install it, it's worth taking a few steps to make sure your device is ready for the update (and of course if it's jailbroken, and you want to keep it that way, you'll want to avoid updating until a jailbreak is made available for the new OS). Here's what you should do in advance.
SwiftKey: Top Android keyboard reaches iPads and iPhones
Stock mobile keyboards tend to suck. There's always a deal-breaker somewhere that offsets all their strengths. There is friction when typing in multiple languages, the language support is limited, abbreviations and the like are a no-go, the layout can be unintuitive, there is a limited amount of customization options, or the touch vibrations are too harsh. Take your pick. I have ran into all of them. But, fret not, there are some solid keyboards out there.
The one keyboard which I am a huge fan of is SwiftKey. It shames every stock keyboard and it's generally better than any other third-party offering. With Google being the only mobile operating system maker to allow third-party keyboards, it has only been available on Android. But, now that Apple has followed suit, you can get your hands on SwiftKey on an iPad or iPhone too. And you should, first of all because it's free!
On Sept. 9th, Apple's Tim Cook era begins
I must disagree with colleague Mark Wilson, who last week asserted: "There is no reason for anyone to care about the iPhone 6", which as I write has 124 comments. I'm a big fan of provocative posts, because they engage the readership. But my feelings differ about commentaries that bluster without substance. Mark is absolutely wrong. There is every reason for everyone to care about the next iPhone.
Mark asserts that iPhone "used to be aspirational and high-end. Now the world and his dog has an Apple handset and it's turned from something special into a poor substitute for one of the countless alternatives...The iPhone is run-of-the-mill. It is predictable. It's just plain boring". In many ways, I agree, but his boring assessment is every reason to "care about the iPhone 6".
Secure your Apple iCloud account by enabling two-step verification
Unless you've been completely avoiding the news over the past few days, you will have heard about Apple's little problem with nude photos being stolen from celebrity accounts. The company has strongly denied that there has been a security breach, but in a statement it advised its customers to check the strength of their passwords as well as enabling two-step verification.
Two-factor authentication -- also known as two-step verification -- is a stronger method of security because it relies not only on something you know (your password), but also something you have (like your iPhone). Sounds good, but how do you do about doing it for your Apple account?
Apple finally opens up about why it rejects certain apps
It may have been something of an unknown quantity for years now. Just why was a particular app denied entry to the App Store? Now Apple -- the company so famed for its secrecy -- has finally laid its cards on the table and revealed the most common reasons apps are rejected. Taking a snapshot from the last week of August, the new Common App Rejections page on Apple's Developer site details the top ten problems that prevent apps from making their way to the App Store. Accounting for more than a quarter of rejections (14 and 8 percent respectively) are apps that do not have enough information and those that exhibit bugs.
Six percent of rejected apps fell foul of terms in the Developer Program License Agreement -- although no further breakdown is given -- and the same percentage of titles were given the thumbs down for not meeting Apple's exacting standards. "Apple and our customers place a high value on simple, refined, creative, well thought through interfaces. They take more work but are worth it. Apple sets a high bar. If your user interface is complex or less than very good, it may be rejected". Apps that are either misleading or similar to other apps, and those with inappropriate names and artwork were also stopped in their tracks, each accounting for 5 percent of vetoed apps.
Lumsing PBJ-6200 Power Bank: A stylish phone charging solution [Review]
I charge my iPhone 5s every night -- it's pretty much a standard routine. Although people moan about the iPhone's battery life, I have no complaints. In fact my old Samsung Galaxy S III needed charging more regularly. But every so often a little extra battery boost is required, which is fine if I'm at home, but less convenient when I'm out and about (and I have no interest in being a wall hugger). This is where an external battery pack can come in handy.
Lumsing's PBJ-6200 Power Bank has already proven to be a life saver in the couple of weeks I've had it. The device is roughly the same dimensions as my phone -- 4.88x 2.64 x 0.51 inches (124 x 67 x13 mm) -- and has a 6,000mAh capacity, which is enough to charge my iPhone about three times (a Galaxy S4 twice, or an iPad mini once).
Are weak iPad sales just a 'speed bump' as Tim Cook says?
In usual fashion, Apple has been the talk of the tech world over the summer, and for good reason. As well as being one of the premier companies in the world, it recently signed a landmark partnership with old enemy IBM and is set to launch a brand new batch of iPhones in a fortnight.
However, the Cupertino-based firm has also come in for a lot of criticism, especially where the iPad is concerned.
V.BTTN is a programmable Bluetooth button that can do anything your phone can
Think about wearable tech and your mind probably jumps to watches first. V.BTTN is a little different. It's a programmable button that links smartphones, tablets and computers via Bluetooth and it can then be used to trigger all manner of events. Looking for a remote shutter trigger for your smartphone? V.BTTN can do that for you. Need a remote control to start and stop recording? Got that covered too. The device comes from VSN Mobil and is available now for $59.99. It's one of those pieces of hardware billed as having virtually limitless possibilities, but this is one instance where the claim is justified.
What the button does depends entirely on the app you decide to link it to. It's slightly more advanced than just "hit the button" -- there are short and long press options, as well as gesture support thanks to a built-in accelerometer. As standard, V.BTTN is just a button. You can stick it in your pocket or bag and carry it around with you if you like, but there are also a number of accessories.

Microsoft unveils Word, Excel and PowerPoint for iPad 1.1, adds user-requested features
Microsoft has unveiled the first major update to its stable of iPad Office apps with the release of Word for iPad 1.1, Excel for iPad 1.1 and PowerPoint for iPad 1.1.
All three apps gain exclusive new features, but all gain the ability to export documents to PDF, improved picture editing tools and support for third-party fonts.
The technology I'm using this summer [Wayne]
My colleague Alan Buckingham has already detailed the different hardware he switches to when the weather warms up. He makes his changes to escape his hot office environment, but I have a rather different reason for swapping devices in the summer.
I work in a basement office. It's a very nice basement office -- it used to be a call center in the days before I moved in -- but the temperature rarely changes throughout the year down there and the lack of windows means the different seasons have very little impact on me. I'm unaware of when it's snowing in winter, or more importantly, when it's gloriously sunny in summer. So on days when I know the weather is nice, I move outside, so I don't miss the sunshine, and get a welcome (and much needed) dose of vitamin D.
New competition! Win a year's subscription to Office 365 Home
In the second of our (hopefully) regular competitions, we have quite a treat for you. You've read the headline so you should know what's up for grabs, but if you missed it, the prize is a year's subscription to Office 365 Home worth $99.99.
Microsoft has very kindly donated a full subscription for us to give away, but this is more than just one copy of the world-famous office suite -- you can install Office 365 Home on up to five PCs or Macs, as well as five tablets. Enough for all the family!
Win! Win! Win! Get your hands on a 5-port USB charger
Hitting the road means luggage, and luggage is a pain -- all that… stuff… to carry from place to place. Traveling light can help to make the journey less of a chore, but there are some things that simply have to be packed: no self-respecting technology fan would go on vacation without taking a raft of devices with them. But devices need power, and this means chargers are needed. iPhones, MP3 players, Android tablets, iPads, digital cameras, Chromebooks, and countless other devices all need power -- and that means a lot of chargers.
We just took a look at the Lumsing DCH-5U 5-Port USB Travel Wall Charger which enables you to leave the chargers at home and charge up to five devices simultaneously from a single power point. And we have one to give away!

Elections in this country have always been fascinating, be they at the level of Parliament or State Assemblies or local bodies. But, the principles, processes, and people behind them may not appear interesting. Yet, S.Y. Quraishi, the 17 Chief Election Commissioner (July 2010-June 2012), has demonstrated, through his work in question, that even these features can be lucidly narrated, keeping readers engrossed.
His book is not just about the poll processes or preparations for elections or legal positions but also about covering the uncovered eligible voters; using modern technology imaginatively to ensure fairness in the entire system and luring first-time voters and other sections of youth to polling booths. He has cited a number of examples from national and international experiences. Dr. Quraishi has thus sought to provide a comprehensive account of the subject.
Giving a historical background behind the establishment of the Election Commission of India (ECI), the author has also explained how the composition of election management bodies in a range of countries such as United States, Brazil, South Africa and Bangladesh is vastly different. He has hailed the decision of the Narasimha Rao government to make the ECI a multi-member body in 1993.
Dwelling upon the working of democracy in parts of Asia, he believes that Indian democracy has generated positive impact in neighbouring countries where, the author notes, "the seeds of democracy are germinating." But, what one must keep in mind is that holding smooth elections alone will not qualify for any nation to be recognised as a true example of democracy. People, at all levels, must have inculcated the democratic spirit in them. One cannot also gloss over reports of booth capture that have resurfaced in the just-concluded Lok Sabha elections.
A striking quality of the book is that the author has cited numerous case studies to convey how initiatives taken by State-level or district-level officials have brought in qualitative changes in the poll process. For example, the practice of the poll authorities themselves distributing voter slips was based on the suggestion of the then Bihar Chief Electoral Officer Sudhir Kumar Rakesh during the 2010 Assembly elections in the northern State. It was successfully experimented and this turned out to be, in the words of Quraishi, a "game changer." Tamil Nadu followed suit during the 2011 Assembly elections and Chief Electoral Officer Praveen Kumar had come in for widespread appreciation for a variety of reasons which included the voter slip distribution too. At that time, what was repeatedly conveyed was that either voter slips or elector photo identity cards (EPIC) would be sufficient for people to cast their votes. But, in the recent Lok Sabha polls, this rule has been altered by the Election Commission, which decided to allow a host of alternative documents too for the purpose of identification.
The author has discussed well topics such as the role of money power and the pernicious trend of paid news and yet, his account of the Commission's voter education initiatives is more stimulating.
Even though the author has cited case studies from different states, the examples of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have been quoted more, creating an impression that the work's portrayal suffers from inadequacy, given the size and complexity of this country.
Also, the author, in the chapter, titled "Reflections and Afterthoughts," has talked of the negative role being played by the Constituency Development Schemes for MPs and MLAs in distorting the principle of level playing field. But, the book does not provide any clue why the EC, when headed by the author, gave its nod to the Union government's proposal in 2011 for letting the then Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to announce the hike in the MP Local Area Constituency Development Scheme from Rs. 2 crore to Rs. 5 crore.
It is not that Dr Quarishi has not referred to this episode but what he mentions, in the chapter on the model code of conduct, was that the Commission had accommodated the Centre's last-minute request with a condition that the hike should not be given effect to in five States which were having Assembly elections then. These aspects, however, do not take away the significance of the work.

By Tim Nielsen: WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck (31-1, 23 KO's) should consider himself very lucky right now after "beating" challenger Denis Lebedev(21-1, 16 KO's) by a 12 round split decision on Saturday night at the Max Schmelling halle in Berlin, Germany. Huck appeared to have lost the fight, as Lebedev dominated the entire bout. However, the judges gave it to Huck, the home fighter, by the scores of 115-113, 115-113 for Huck and 116-112 for Lebedev.
If I were to be generous to Huck, I'd agree with the 116-112 score for Lebedev, but I had him winning the fight by much more lopsided score than that. Huck was just wild with his shots, spent too much time backing up and didn't throw enough punches in the fight. It was like watching a bigger, slower version of Arthur Abraham. Huck looked beyond poor, which is why it seems all the more crazy that he was given the decision. But he was the home fighter, and he was fighting in Germany. I wish I could see Lebedev getting a rematch, but I doubt he'll get a second shot at the title. Rather than waste time in possibly getting jobbed again in Germany, Lebedev would be better off going after one of the other cruiserweight champions.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the The Hamptons, Sag Harbor and Outlet Shopping Day Trip from New York City. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.

The tour was great. The tour guide was bilingual and very friendly. Even though it rained and the tour van had a tire blowout which delayed our tour for about 45 minutes, the guide made sure that we got to do everything on the tour. It was fun!
This tour was amazing!
This tour was fantastic.The weather was wonderful and our guide was delightful. The Hamptons is a great place to visit and see where the rich and famous live. Also towards the end of the tour we had a two hour shopping break at Tanger outlets which was the icing on the cake. Can not recommend it enough.
This trip was nice and our guide was knowledgeable. We had a variety of activities and stops throughout the day. Was nice to leave the big city for a few hours and see just what is close by. Fun!
Great day trip and great shopping the shopping down was just as it is on the Tv show
We really enjoyed our trip to the Hamptons and Sag Harbour. Despite the torrential rain we were able to get a sense of the area. The video on the bus about the men who built America was excellent and the guide, exceptional.We recommend the Lobster roll at the pub on the corner of the main street!
Enjoyed immensely - guide was informative and friendly. Small group was a bonus very relaxed.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We weren't so keen on the Tanger Outlets and would have preferred less time there and more time in Sag Habour and South Hampton. We had a beautiful lunch at the American Hotel in Sag Habour, unfortunately it was rushed because of the limited time we had there. However it is well worth doing this tour and seeing how the rich live!
Great day trip! It was a small group due to winter season but we had plenty of time. The tour guide was lovely. Very cold day but we made the most of it. Outlet shopping was amazing and ridiculously cheap!!
Guide was excellent and had great knowledge of the area and American history. If you want to do the outlets properly you would need to spend more than the 2 hours allocated on this combined tour.
A wonderful day - great sights - very diverse - breakfast stop was terrific at Motel/Inn - Lady Tour Gude was very informative. I would go again.
great trip, tour guide was really good and knew area well highly recommend. the shopping is only 2 hour which suited me
Pretty country, informative ...see how the other half live ...Enjoyable ....Barry O'Sullivan (australia)

Loved this day trip and most importantly is satisfied my curiousity of the Hamptons. We saw most areas in that region and got to enjoy a beautiful lunch at the Marina. Many thanks to Marco who was an excellent guide, Michelle Brisbane
Melissa F
fantastic tour
Triston L K
nice day out if you don't mind spending a lot of time in a bus. Great Food at Sag Harbor and reasonable shopping at the outlet. Surprise stop at the winery was a great bonus inclusion
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it. I didn't think the delivery of the guides presentation was particularly well executed nor the content that informative. The visit to Coopers beach, South Hampton and Sag Harbour were lovely but the wine tasting was a waste of time. The outlets were fun, very quick but a lot less crowded than others.
Enjoyed the Hamptons even tho disappointed that didnt really get to see all the beautiful homes as they are obstructed by very big fences. Beach was beautiful so good photo opportunities. Shopping outlet was great however husband was definitely not keen on that part of the tour thought it himself a bit of a waste of time, where as I liked it. lol. He did however like the stop we made at the small winery on the way back to NY. If you are more into shopping that seeing the towns then you will def like this tour.
Great trip, great guide, disappointed with shopping outlet, no way as good as Woodbury common.
Very pleasant experience, very expert tourist guide.
The tour guides were fabulous. The tour was good. I just thought the Hamptons was much more than I found it to be. But I still enjoyed it.
This is a fabulous tour! Very enjoyable and great scenery!
Great tour. Loved it.
Had a wonderful day. The guide was very informative. My only criticism would be timings. We arrived in South Hampton before the museum opened so missed out, and the restaurants recommended to us in Sag Harbour weren't open. Otherwise, lovely, chilled out day.
Was well arranged and guide staff was very professional, we recommend the same to any one willing to visit Hamptons

For 2009-10, look beyond the schedule

It sneaks up, doesn't it?
There probably are some North Americans who haven't changed their car's oil since the last time the NHL was involved in the Olympic tournament at the 2006 Torino Games. Even the 2002 Canada-USA final in Salt Lake City seems as if it happened a couple of years ago at most.
Yet we're six months out from the NHL's fourth full-fledged participation in the Winter Olympics, this time in Vancouver. The regular-season shutdown will last 14 days, ...

This thread has me drooling! I was going to say 'a roasted chicken' from your title, but since reading how hearty the soup is that would probably be too much food.
I'd make that crusty sage butter bread mamameg just posted because it sounds delish (and much more creative than my typical plain buttered crusty bread!).
I think a nice mixed winter greens salad would go really well with it - the kind with baby spinach and escarole and radicchio. Maybe with some sugared pecans or walnuts mixed in. Hardly genious, but it think it would balance out the soup nicely.

Go Harrison County! We have no crime here! We have no drug problem here! We have no industry or employment problems here! We have no children going to bed hungry here! We have no youth recreational facility problems here! What we do have in our county is a big fat "my opponent's campaign sign is too big" problem!
What a joke.

Why would the police department spend part of a $17,000 state traffic grant singling out motorcyclists? According to last week's newspaper article, it was because motorcycle fatalities were up and the police need to check licenses, permits, insurance and helmet laws. There is no helmet law for experienced riders over 21 years old.
My name is Clinton F. Gould and I have resided in Cynthiana and Harrison County for the past 12 years. I am a member of the Grand Traverse band of Ottawa/Chippewa Indians of northern Michigan. I am writing to inform of my desire to introduce the Native American culture to Cynthiana and Harrison County.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Shain Stephens for quite a few years. I have also had the pleasure of working with Shain at the Paris Police Department. I am hampered by a limit of 300 words contained in this endorsement letter. I could not possibly communicate to the reader the type of officer Shain Stephens is by using only 300 words. I shall try nonetheless.
My niece, Jennifer, has an iPhone.
Last week, she and her husband, Marc; my sister, Peggy, and I (and Jennifer's iPhone with all its cool applications — "apps") went to Baja, Mexico to visit my parents who live on a beach on the Sea of Cortez.
Want to know the name of a song on the radio? Jen's phone has an app for that. Want to know the Spanish word for just about anything? She's got an app for that.
There is only one candidate to endorse for the position of district court judge and that is Peter Newberry. He has over 20 years of legal experience as a trial attorney. He is a very honest and impartial person and believes that every person should have a fair trial. He believes in helping one another and has been very successful with bike programs for two counties that include all age groups. He is a major player in Relay for Life, Champions for a Drug-Free Harrison County and many worthwhile organizations.

Kalgoorlie Road Trip - Day 1
Greetings fight fans, will do a quick update of how the trip has progressed so far.
The tone of the trip was set early, had to catch public transport to Bombers place and was waiting for a train in Perth when a young bloke comes over to me and the following conversation takes place.
"Excuse me mate"
"I need to send a text to work, do you know how to spell 'from work'?"
'I'm sorry?'
"Do you know how to spell 'from work'?"
'From work?'
"From work"
After helping him through his conundrum, made it to Bombers and left Perth around 10.30. No real good road stories to report, don't eat Chicken Treat from Merridin is about the only thing I learned.
Arriced just after 5 and after some hopeless directions found the hotel where the weigh in was being held. That was done and dusted by 6.30pm so it was off to dinner and what would prove to be a very long night.
Dinner at the Palace with Bomber, ****** Footit, Linc Hudson, Paco Gonzalez & his trainer. I think the $450 bill for six people was a bit excessive, as only Bomber & I were drinking. Anyways, long dinner spiced up by Linc trying to fire Bomber up about the food/cost/anything. Nearly worked too.
Just after nine all trainers and fighters left, so was left to myself and Bomber to hold high the flag for local boxing.
Now my memories are a bit scattered from this point, but took my video camera along and have discovered its invaluable for peicing together a night out. Had a beer at the Exchange, then onto Paddys Ale House, then to the Criterion. Stayed there for ages, back to the Exchange (where I got some great pics which I'll upload when I'm back), then to the Palace where they didn't just have skimpies, they had topless barmaids. Of course operating a camera in a place like that won't win you too many friends but as a bastion or morality I didn't film the girls which was lucky, as some door ***** confronted me outside and demanded I stop filming. Took great delight playing her back the footage and proving her wrong but she rudely stormed off as I modestly gloated over how right I'd been.
By this stage Bomber was convincing anyone that would listen we were making a documentary on Kal and I began to feel like the camera guy for 'Girls Gone Wild' as we were swamped by people wanting to be in 'the film'.
Apparantly we left around 2am, took a early morning swim in the promoters pool and then passed out on his floor. Woke up at 11am this morning with a splitting headache that luckily seems to be subsiding rapidly.
So today is the day for the fights, no drinkies till the after party where I'm told its an open tab.
I love Kalgoorlie.

|Home energy conservation: psychological and environmental worldviews
|Felts, Anne
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|With recent changes in the economy and a dwindling supply of natural resources, energy conservation is a very relevant and important concern among homeowners. Each homeowner has a unique perception of environmental issues, including energy conservation, and yet all are similarly influenced. These different perceptions are based, in part, on differences in preferred worldviews. It is argued here that more effective educational delivery methods could be employed if they were based on these individual worldview preferences. This study investigates both psychological and environmental worldviews in light of energy conservation education. Using psychological worldview theory and environmental worldview theory, this research contributes to better understanding of individuals who are interested in home energy conservation. The research provides knowledge that will improve education delivery to help motivate individuals to conserve energy in the home. An online survey was distributed to a University Extension listserv composed of individuals who were interested in receiving more information about home energy conservation. The survey consisted of a psychological paradigmatic theory inventory and the revised New Environmental Paradigm scale. This research supports the assumption that there are many different ways of understanding environmental issues; no way is more correct than any other, but some are more preferred than others. It suggests that by targeting each individual's worldview and the way she/he comes to know and approaches environmental issues, researchers and educators can begin to contribute in a more individually meaningful manner rather than continuing to treat people as an aggregate homogenous whole.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
The movie's look is authentic, butas suits an epoch that predates photographyin no way naturalistic. Commissioning a series of paintings based on period engravings, Rohmer has contrived a glorious Méliès effect: Once they leave their drawing rooms, his actors are keyed into these virtual locations as though they were moving through 18th-century panoramas and tableaux. This irresistible magic-lantern show, screened at the last New York Film Festival, is also coolly formalist. Rohmer rarely moves his camera, taking his cues from D.W. Griffith's treatment of the French Revolution, Orphans of the Storm; his mode, however, is not melodrama. Distanced by narrative voice-over and intertitles, history is glimpsed always from Grace's perspective, as a series of discrete moments: the revolutionary celebrations of 1790, the Second Revolution and September Massacres of 1792, the regicide and Terror of 1793.
As overtly constructed as it is, this historical spectacle invites contemplation. In a key scene, Grace (Lucy Russell) stands on a balcony in a Paris suburb and gazes back at the smoky city, whereas described to her by a servant looking through a spyglassLouis XVI is being put to death. At other times, the action is far closer. But, despite the Tuileries aflame and corpses draped upon the phantom Pont Neuf, the effect is decorouseven when Grace spots the head of her friend, the Princesse de Lamballe, brandished on a pike. A woman whose noblesse oblige enables her to rise to the most extreme situations, Grace hobbles on foot alone to her château outside the city wallsonly to return to Paris on a mission that involves smuggling a wounded aristo past the sansculotte mobs to the safety of her boudoir.
Profit and Nothing But!
Written and directed by Raoul Peck
First Run/Icarus
Landscapes of the Soul: The Cinema of Alexander Dovzhenko
Walter Reade
Through May 21
First cousin to The Scarlet Pimpernel, The Lady and the Duke has considerable derring-do for a Rohmer film, but is not without its action-dialogue. Grace is introduced arguing politics with her former lover, the Duke of Orléans (Jean-Claude Dreyfus), a constitutional monarchist who has turned against his class and his cousin Louis. Grace is charmingly opinionated and, like a proper Rohmer heroine, thrives on conversation. Indeed, she almost never stops talkingimprudently mouthing off against the revolution and expressing an irrational devotion to the Sun King and his Marie Antoinette. (That a foreigner should be so loyal reproaches the fickle Frencha joke that Rohmer evidently enjoys.)
Political disagreements continue throughout the moviethe opportunistic Orléans defends the revolution until it devours him. Thanks in part to the actors, their discourse has an Olympian quality. Lucy Russell's magnificent bearing, corseted figure, and corona of curls would befit a Greek goddessshe's the avatar of post-revolutionary neoclassicism. Dreyfus's Orléans, by contrast, is ostentatiously theatrical. An oversized head pressing down on his hunched shoulders, he suggests a would-be Prometheus whose dark grimaces, grand gestures, and windy courtesies are in comic counterpoint to Russell's stubborn composure. The Duke is only seen in the context of Grace. She herself has no context other than being a rich lady (with a Jacobin cook) whose past romantic liaisons include not only Orléans but the Prince of Wales. There is little sense, for example, of the total war being waged against the French Republic by the rest of Europe.
As with his previous costume dramas, The Marquise of O (1975) and Perceval (1978), each stylized in its own way, Rohmer is self-consciously presenting a text. The period is filtered through artifice; similarly, Rohmer's scrupulous structure and attention to narrativity gives a material weight to Grace's distinctive voice as a writer. The Lady and the Duke is not the story of the French Revolution, but it is very much a story. Inevitably, Grace is arrested by the Committee of Public Safety's ludicrous functionaries and marched to her trial through a Paris of taunting trolls. But, knowing her as we do, it's scarcely surprising that she's able to confound the Committee and even bewitch Robespierre.
If you can forget the world-historic significance of the mass revolution that overthrew Europe's oldest absolute monarchyor rather, subsume it in the mysteries of personalityThe Lady and the Duke is the stuff of human interest.
The ideals of liberté, egalité, and fraternité are reprovingly embodied in Raoul Peck's Beta SP documentary-essay Profit and Nothing But!, which had its local premiere at the last Margaret Mead Film Festival and opens Friday on a bill with Diamonds and Rust (a prizewinning Israeli feature doc about African diamond mining).
"Capital has won. . . . Capital has swept the board," a somber narrator informs us, speaking on behalf of Peck's native Haiti, a country that "theoretically doesn't exist" and whose GNP for the next 30 years might barely equal Bill Gates's current worth. "Triumphant capitalism" means nothing in Haiti, often crosscut with shots of an imperial New York as devoid of human presence as the Caribbean nation teems with it. Profit and Nothing But! makes a gloomy postscript to Peck's rousing biopic Lumumba. In a tradition begun by D.W. Griffith in A Corner in Wheat, Peck creates an elegant 52-minute montage-cum-lecture applying Marxist economic theory to the forces of globalization. His points are interspersed with mordant clips of Ronald Reagan and other American tele-celebrities. Such juxtapositions make for a sharper argument than the depressed narrator's pronouncements, which unfortunately amount to a droning expression of moral superiority.

Disc tumbler lock
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2009)
A disc tumbler lock or Abloy Disklock is a lock composed of slotted rotating detainer discs. Considered very secure and almost impossible to pick, the lock was invented by Emil Henriksson (1886–1959) in 1907 and manufactured by Abloy.[1]
Disc tumbler locks are composed of slotted rotating detainer discs. A specially cut key rotates these discs like the tumblers of a safe to align the slots, allowing the sidebar to drop into the slots, thus opening the lock. Unlike a wafer tumbler lock or a pin tumbler lock, this mechanism does not use springs. Because they do not contain springs, they are better suited for areas with harsh conditions and are often used at outdoor locations like railroad and public utility installations.[2]
The classical Abloy design consists of a notched hemicylindrical key, and a lock with detainer discs with holes ranging from a hemicircle (180°) to a 3/4 circle (270°). The key is inserted and rotated 90 degrees. Notches, machined to an angle, correspond to complementary angles in the holes of the discs. Thus, the misalignment of the slots is "corrected" by a rotation to the correct angle. For example, if the hole is 270°, the key is 180°, and if the hole is 240° (270° minus 30°), the key is 150° (180° with 30° notch) of the circle. In addition, there is a notch in the perimeter of each disc. A sidebar inside an opening in the lock cylinder around the discs, and an edge in the casing obstructs the movement of the cylinder beyond the 90°.
When a correct key is inserted and turned, all the discs will rotate so that notches in the perimeters line up. This allows a sidebar to drop from the cylinder into the groove made by the lined-up notches in the disks, so that it does not obstruct the cylinder, allowing the cylinder to rotate and open the lock. If a key with one wrong notch is used, one disc will be rotated to an incorrect angle, thus its notch will not line up with the rest, and the lock cannot be unlocked.
The lock is locked again by rotating it into the other direction, sliding the sidebar back into the cylinder opening and allowing the straight edge of the key to return the discs to the scrambled "zero" position.
The mechanism makes it easy to construct locks that can be opened with multiple different keys: "blank" discs with a circular hole are used, and only notches shared by the keys are employed in the lock mechanism. This is commonly used for locks of common areas such as garages in apartment houses.
Disk tumblers are difficult to pick,[3][4][5] and are sold as "high security" locks. Picking the lock is not impossible, but requires a lot of time, a dedicated, professionally made tool and special expertise. The disc tumbler lock cannot be bumped. This level of difficulty tends to drive attention to alternative methods of gaining entry.
The locking mechanism can be disabled destructively by drilling into the lock to destroy the sidebar. Anti-drilling plates can be installed to prevent this.
- ^ Emil Vilhelm Henriksson was born in Helsinki, Finland on February 24, 1886. He became a mechanic specializing in office equipment. In 1907, he was repairing a mechanical cash register when he realized that its rotating cylindrical disks could be used as the basis of a lock. After two years, he had developed the first disc tumbler lock. In 1918 he applied for a patent, which was granted on February 15, 1919. Also in 1918, he formed the Ab Låsfabriken-Lukkotehdas Oy company (Ab Låsfabriken = Ltd. Lock Co. (in Swedish) and Lukkotehdas Oy = Lock Co. Ltd. (in Finnish)). (The name was subsequently shortened to "Ab Lukko Oy" and finally to "Abloy".) He died in Helsinki on December 19, 1959. See: History of the Abloy company.

IMF's Lagarde Sees 2013 as Defining Year Amid Weak Recovery
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said 2013 will be a "make-or-break" year as the world faces a slow economic recovery.
Hours after the IMF cut its global growth forecast to 3.5 percent and projected a second year of contraction in the euro region, Lagarde said uncertainties in the world economy need to be lifted.
"If we continue to act, 2013 will be a defining year in terms of finally getting beyond the crisis," Lagarde said today in an address to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland according to her prepared remarks. "But more than that, I believe we are standing in the antechamber of a new global economy, marked by rapidly shifting circumstances and new modes of thinking."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Dead Horse Point State Park
Situated 2000 feet above the Colorado River, the legend goes that cowboys once rounded up wild mustangs and herded them onto what is now called Dead Horse Point Overlook. After choosing the horses they wanted to keep, they somehow forgot about the rest and, trapped on that waterless point far above the river, the poor things died of thirst.
Sad as the story is, the panorama from this overlook is stunning. From here you can see a hairpin turn of the Colorado River (in my pix above), a little of the Green River off to the southwest, and across miles and miles of Canyonlands N.P.
I don't know if this is really an "off the beaten" as it was pretty lively but it's on the way to Canyonlands NP Island in the Sky district: take 191N. for 10 miles out of Moab, then southwest on 313 for 14 miles to the turnoff. Turn left and continue another 7 miles to the Visitor Center. Fee is $10 per vehicle, $5 for seniors, and the park has a campground ($28 per site) with electrical hookups, tent pads, covered shelter, charcoal grates and bathrooms. No showers. There are a handful of easy hiking/walking trails, and 17 miles of hiking/biking trails.
See the park website for visitor center/concession hours and more information.

I did this as a solo overnight backpack trip. I was amazing sunset views as I left late in the afternoon and hiked down into the canyon. The trail drops down into an interesting canyon and seems to go forever. Follow this to the White Rim road. Continue over the road for a while to find a suitable campsite. I loved my campsite, beyond the white rim. There are no set campsites beyond this point so follow "leave no trace" protocol. Permits are required for overnight stays. Left early in the morning becasue it is a steep hike up and wanted to avoid the heat past high noon.

Newspaper Rock
In 1961 Newspaper Rock, one of the largest and best-known petroglyph panels in Utah, was designated a state park. It is located about 12 miles west of U.S. Highway 191 on the paved road that leads to the Needles district of Canyonlands National Park, where you will see a sign for Newspaper Rock. This little area is well worth the stop if you are interested in the early history of the area. Newspaper Rock is a rock surface with hundreds of petroglyphs etched into the rock surface. If you rush past this short side trip you will be missing one of the finest displays of Indian rock art in the United States. It is believe that these were made mostly by the Anasazi people, which date A.D. 1 to 1275. We viewed bison, mountain sheep, footprints, snakes, and many other animals and abstract pictures. Besides the Anasazi there is also some ancient art most likely from the Fremont; and more recent UTE or Navajo dating from the 1200s to 1880. From what is believed to be the UTE or Navajo period one can see horses with riders, which would have dated in a period after the Spanish introduced the horse to the area. No one knows for sure what these pictures mean.

Dead Horse State Park
If you are in the Island of the Sky District of Canyonlands there really is no excuse for not stopping by Dead Horse State Park. The park is literally on the way! I'm not entirely sure why it isn't just park of Canyonlands...but I digress. This dramatic bend in the river has a grizzly history. Back in the cowboy days, the land between the bend was used as a corral for horses. One bunch of horse was unfortunately abandoned or forgotten by the ranchers and all the horses died of thirst while right in view of the river thousands of feet down. Hence, this is how the point and the Park got their names.
It really does not take a long time to tour if you are in a hurry, probably only an hour or so.
It costs $7 to get into the park. There is a visitors center with restrooms and of course a gift shop.
This park is also the scene of many a picnic, lots of tables to choose from, many with roofs for shade.

Many Opportunities
There are several isolated trails and backcountry opportunities which we were not able to do. The Colorado Overlook was a wonderful time as we encountered no one.
If you want to experience more formations take the shorter trails described in their website. We took the very short ones along the scenic route and decided on the Colorado Overlook for our long journey since it is a bike trail / jeep trail. It is quite a treat to be allowed to ride in a National Park.
Off the beaten path would be...
Off the beaten path would be if you take your backpack and start walking anywhere in the immens large National Park. You for sure have a big chance to be at places where no-one ever stood before! or at least not for centuries.

Paul Murphy / Eyewitness News
NEW ORLEANS -- It wasn't long ago that New Orleans was at the very bottom of the Wall Street Journal's Marketwatch survey of 102 metro areas across the country.
The study considers factors such as unemployment rate, cost of living and personal income growth.
This year, the city went from from 77th on the list to 33rd.
'This is great recognition from the Wall Street Journal,' said Michael Hecht, president and CEO of Greater New Orleans, Inc. 'They did a statistical analysis of the entire country, 102 metros, and we were the most improved of any metro in the entire country in terms of economic competitiveness and we're thrilled.'
Hecht said the recognition validates the hard work done to rebuild the region as a business center post-Katrina.
'I think now the story of New Orleans, the business case of New Orleans with low cost, great incentives, focused leadership and world famous culture is beginning to get out there,' said Hecht.
Newcomers to the city such as Patrick Comer, CEO of the startup market research firm Federated Sample say the word is out, New Orleans is the place to be.
'You have the culture and dynamic rebirth, rebuild, resurrection of the city, which is a story people like to be a part of,' said Comer. 'You have state incentives, whether it's the angel investment tax credit or its digital media tax credit.'
David Kearney's family has been in the local shipping business for four generations.
He said the positive momentum in the region helps existing companies like his attract new customers.
'Now, they actually come to New Orleans first, let us roll up our sleeves and compete before they go back to Miami or Houston,' said Kearney. 'We now seeing kind of an us being included in the decision, whereas before we weren't even in the cards.'
Kearney said if the potential new business hits, his company may expand next year.
'That means hiring drivers for our trucks,' said Kearney. 'That means hiring laborers and forklift operators and as potentially hiring customer service folks as well.'
While New Orleans has come a long way, there are still challenges ahead.
Local business leaders say now that the city is becoming a hub for new business activity, it's more important than ever to correct those problems still keeping the city from reaching it's full potential.
'Until we get, I think past the tenth anniversary of Katrina and come back to what I call a new normal and see a New Orleans, New Orleans region even a Louisiana with better educational outcomes, better health outcomes, lower crime rates then we had pre-Katrina, we're not going to done,' said Hecht.
'If I look at trying to relocate talent back or for the first time to New Orleans, especially talent that has a family, those are the first two questions that come up, crime and education,' said Comer.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu released a statement about the Wall Street Journal survey.
'Once again, the rest of the nation is taking notice to the positive economic momentum we see in New Orleans. Our work to foster a better business climate in the city, promote entrepreneurship, and grow jobs here at home is paying off.'

I would highly recommend if you're purchasing straighteners that do not include a carry case. 03 May 2015

This is perfect for when straighteners are heating up (my daughter managed to burn her carpet with her old cheaper alternatives!) so glad I treated her to a new set of straighteners and heat mat/case for her birthday!

However, I do use it to store my ghds in from day-to-day and it's great. The heat mat means I can do my hair in my bedroom on the carpet and not be worried about burning it. The case itself has a little separator so that the plug and cord isn't in direct contact with the styler. This prevents any marks or scratches on your styler. Great product and really good quality!

Teenagers are popping drugs and stimulants like they eat toffees, apparently to calm their nerves, before 12th standard exams, and doctors are worried.
A jittery Rohan Srivastava ran to a psychiatrist to get anti-anxiety medicines prescribed before the start of his exams. But not getting immediate results prompted him to try out ganja or charas a day before every exam.
The 17-year-old is not alone. There are many like him who are hooked to psychotropic drugs and narcotic substances. Most of them feel these drugs will drive away their exam fears. Also, they have a false sense of elation thinking they will perform better in exams if they take drugs.
"Students want immediate results. So, they go for high-end stimulants and even narcotic substances as the exam season approaches," Harish Shetty, senior psychiatrist, said. "Modafinil is a common choice as it keeps a person awake and acts like a memory enhancer."
Psychiatrists say some even go for Ayurvedic medicines such as Shankhpushpi, supposed to improve concentration. Then there are allopathic drugs such as Nootropil, Alprazolam, Clonazepam and Propranolol that are used to reduce anxiety, improve concentration and provide better sleep.
But the trend is alarming because students don't stop at these medicines. They also try out drugs, buying them from peddlers.
"I have seen at least 10 students, aged between 18 and 20, in the past three weeks seeking medicines for better concentration," Shetty said. "I have had parents telling me they are worried their children might get addicted to such drugs. We counsel them and ensure they don't get hooked on to these drugs."
The other worrying thing is over the counter drugs. Students try out medicines without consulting psychiatrists. And some chemists oblige them.
Hakim Kapasi, president of North West Chemist Association, said teenagers want anti-anxiety drugs like Diazepam. "This drug is not recommended for young people; but they ask for it as it drives away fear and anxiety," Kapasi said. "We usually don't sell these drugs without prescription. Brain tonics and other milder pills too are in demand. But these have to be taken over some months to find any noticeable change."
Psychiatrists say those who are addicted to ganja, charas or brown sugar increase its intake during exams to run away from reality. Students start experimenting with such illegal drugs and stimulants mostly during exams.
