RNC Digital Message at CRP: Hopeful/Promising
Kudos to the CRP at their convention this weekend for hosting the RNC's new digital CTO Andy Barkett (hired from Facebook) for an educational session entitled 'The Wonderful World of Data'.
In a fairly comprehensive (and somewhat technical) presentation, Mr. Barkett both instructed his audience at set forth hints of his overall vision for data development within the RNC for the near future.
Democracy.com Offers Dems Free Web Sites
Democracy.com has released a new web site resource that claims to offer you a free candidate web site (although we suspect there is a percentage charge for donation processing) and significant social media hooks.
Avoid Social Media Suicide: Consult Experts HuffPo and Kos for Free
I swear if I see another set of social media icons like I see at the right, I'm going to commit hissing, spitting seppuku right here online.
The sad part is, illiterate GOP consultants are giving candidates and parties the icons at left and guaranteeing that they are 'good to go' with social media.
Bunk. And even more unsavory expletives.
Let's consult the acknowledged experts, the Huffington Post and the Daily Kos. Leaders of the left social media, I guarantee you can follow the links to those sites above and you will not see the icons at right, nor pages similar to what those icons link to.
Instead, you'll see icons/buttons that actually work to promote their web site content - the very reason that the left is winning in social media spaces. At the experts' sites, you see icons and toolbars like this:
25 or so of them on each HuffPo page, fewer on Kos, but both take advantage of one idea: let your readers promote your ideas to their friends and followers.
If you are a conservative candidate or party you do not see the buttons immediately above but instead see the buttons at the top, you should immediately be on the phone with your consultant screaming bloody murder.
Why? Because the second set of buttons promotes your site and gets you free advertising. The first set of buttons does not.
Does the second set of buttons cost more to put on your site? No. They are copied/pasted onto your site just like the first set of buttons. The only explanation for the presence of the first set of buttons and not the second set is social media illiteracy.
Secure Email Self-Reliance is Easy.
At the end of this article, we'll offer you (free) the solution we discuss: subpoena-resistant email servers set up in Europe, with encryption tech you can use like a mini-storage: you lock it, you keep the key. NSAmail.us (or also innoc.us). Permanent FREE secure email accounts will be available for a limited time so you can try our NSAmail.us Beta.
Today, we learned that CryptoSeal has followed Lavabit and SilentCircle in stopping secure email operations for US customers. A moment's reflection (and wide discussion) reveal the theory that they shut down because they received US Government subpoenas for their encryption keys - subpoenas that contain secrecy orders, imposing severe penalties if they disclosed that that their encryption keys had been subpoenaed. We don't know for sure, because they aren't saying, but the fact that they won't disclose specific reasons for shutting down their services suggests they have been placed under legal obligations of a subpoena with a gag order attached.
Although these vendors benefited from the misconception, the entire scandal rests on one deplorable consumer miscalculation: that people and companies must rely on an outside vendor to manage their day-to-day encryption and privacy security for them.
That's simply not the case. Like Americans in an earlier era, we do have the capability to be easily and securely self-reliant for our privacy and ciphers to secure our own communications. The tech is available, and it's easy to use.
And if we are self-reliant with easily-deployable tech in that fashion, then the NSA, CIA, Homeland Security and DOJ can issue all the subpoenas, warrants and pen register demands they desire, and even retrieve encryption keys from the vendors... and the contents of our communications are still safe, still secure.
Tech Pushes Tea Party Caucus to Success at CRP Convention
Advanced tech was
By all reports, the 'maiden voyage' of the Tea Party California Caucus (TPCC) at the recent CRP Convention in Anaheim, CA was a complete success. The TPCC digital operation was a big part of that success.
At the convention, caucus managers discovered that they possessed a communications system that could help them deal swiftly with unexpected events in committees, etc., as well as a platform that allowed them to publicize the cause, enroll activist delegates, recruit volunteers, raise funds, organize workers, and cause its TPCC Convention App to go viral on delegates' mobile phones.
While political opinions may differ, few can assert that the TPCC did not make the splash it hoped to make at the recent Anaheim convention of the California Republican Party.
Digital tech was involved in nearly every aspect of the caucus' labors at the convention, to recruit additional voting delegates, and to manage the caucus politically while at the convention.
Many GOP Efforts Equal to OFA, but Don't Know it
So everyone knows the story of how the Dems used automation and social media to kick our butts in the 2008 and 2012 campaigns.
If you're using NationBuilder, you already have the tools to match that game. You do. Totally.
You can even do better than Obama and OFA.
Here's how the Dems do it:
CA Tea Party Organizing CRP Caucus - with Effective Tech
|Caucus Floor Management at the CRP?
Tea Party tech may allow minority to caucus like a majority
It's major good news, both politically and on the tech front as the Tea Party California Caucus (TPCC), a collection of Tea Party organizations from up and down California, announces its intent to be present at the California Republican Party (CRP) Convention in October as a formal caucus.
I dare say that many Tea Party activists may well look back on the last week of August, 2013 as the week that real Tea Party political influence began. Many savvy politcos I've talked to across the country regard this as a HUGE development.
There are four major tranches of good news in this story: the formation of a Tea Party caucus at the CRP convention, the technology that the TPCC is employing, TPCC help in becoming a voting delegate to the CRP Convention (this means you!), and TPCC help in becoming a voting member of your district/county party central committee (again, this means you!); in short: learning to actually help govern the GOP effectively toward more conservative Tea Party principles. Then exercising that governing power effectively at the state party and subordinate conventions (other states outside CA have subordinate conventions, CA does not).
All three, together and separately, are the most powerful short- and long-term tactics for exerting influence in governing the party.
But it's not just the intention of the Tea Party to start getting inside CRP governance that's good news, it's also the tech they've deployed to both manage and inform the caucus during the CRP convention in October.
Although the picture above, (which perhaps suggests a lot of delegates on the convention floor getting their voting instructions directly from caucus managers) is definitely a wild exaggeration, there are many very valid and exciting use cases for the technology that will help political underdogs wield real influence at a state party convention.
Use Cases
Imagine attending such a convention and getting a text message that says something like:
"Resolution committee considering affirming 'comprehensive immigration reform' now. Pls proceed to Ballroom A to speak out."
Surrender Cyber-Security Now? Or Next Year?
You might feel more that a bit assailed these days if you value privacy.
(read on, we'll give you the solution below) Recent headlines:
The NSA, CIA and FBI claim to have FISA court authorization to watch anything you do on the Internet or cellular networks; in spite of many legal prohibitions against the NSA and CIA engaging in domestic spying.
Microsoft gives your email/cloud data to the NSA before it's encrypted. Pretty much the same with Google and many others.
President Obama has encouraged federal workers to spy on each other.
Even local police are scanning and keeping records of where they see your car.
Obama loves leaks that benefit his administration, but cracks down oppressively and obsessively on the whistleblowers he really hates.
The DOJ swears before a court that an innocent FOX news reporter engaged in his trade is a traitor to the US.
Bring the real GOP power to your county
The idea that electoral power can be seized from central authority and exercised locally is gaining traction in many more quarters.
Well worth reading today is a Forbes article by Ralph Benko (read the whole thing: "Will Republican Superdonors Rein In Karl Rove And Other GOP Rogue Elephants?").
In his article, Benko explains that superdonors are getting very wary of RNC promises to deploy tech that will dominate future elections. Benko advocates 'pushing power to the edge' (the counties in my interpretaion) to empower local parties, and he advocates tech to do it. Benko's 'power to the edge' concept is so important, he mentions it no less than 7 times in the article.
NSA Sharing Data with NRCC??
NRCC copies creepy OFA tactics, but with less truth...
The NSA apparently has not forsaken all integrity - in truly ecumenical fashion, they appear to be sharing data with the NRCC as well as the IRS and OFA.
Lots of folks, including Jim Geraghty at NRO have noticed that former Obama campaign org OFA is sending out those creepy 'OFA is watching you personally' emails.
Geraghty has apparently never given the NRCC his email address or he'd probably be aware that the NRCC is doing exactly the same thing, but with an interesting and dishonest twist.
I'm a tech evangelist who's constantly calling attention to tech that our adversaries get right, but I've never advocated copying tech just because it's better. Yesterday I got the email below from the treasurer of the NRCC.
Not only have I never 'joined' the NRCC, but if I had, I suspect they would have remembered my name from the credit card transaction.

This isn't the new Capri, despite Internet rumblings telling you so.

What's New?
News place
Thanks to the cyber-skill of Rachel Reuben (a senior, Public Affairs), News Pulse can now be accessed online at its own website: www.newpaltz.edu/newspulse. See you there.
A welcome guest
The guest speaker and recipient of the Honorary Doctorate of Letters at this year's Commencement ceremony will be historian, writer and educator Nell Irvin Painter. Currently Edwards Professor of American History and Director of the Program in African-American Studies at Princeton University, Painter studied at the University of California, Berkeley; the University of Bordeaux, France; the University of Ghana, West Africa; and earned her doctorate in American history from Harvard University. She is the author of four books and numerous articles and reviews, mainly about southerners such as Hosea Hudson, Gertrude Thomas and Wilbur Cash.
Painter has visited the campus twice before, lecturing on Sojourner Truth, at the invitation of Women's Studies in 1991, and the Hudson Valley Study Center in 1996, just after the publication of her scholarly biography titled "Sojourner Truth, A Life, A Symbol." Since the 1997-98 academic year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Sojourner Truth and the 25th anniversary of the naming of our library in honor of this abolitionist and woman's suffrage advocate, it seems appropriate to close it with a word from her biographer. Painter will deliver her address at ceremonies planned for Sunday, May 17 at 11a.m.
Loop de loop
The road that leads from east to west on the south side of campus, formerly known as "The Loop," is now formally known as "Southside Loop." The Institutional Image Group, under the direction of Mary Kastner (Publications), has established names for previously unnamed passageways on campus and is currently pursuing the design of street signs bearing those names. Campus maps, appearing in all publications printed after April 10, will reflect the following additions/changes: Huguenot Court, Pond Road, Sojourner Way, The Courtyard, Excelsior Concourse, Haggerty Plaza, Student Union Plaza, Mohonk Ave. East, and Southside Loop. Nearby village roads have also been included to facilitate campus directions, such as Tricor Ave., Fairview Ave., and Mohonk Ave.
Additionally, new maps indicate the locations of College Theatre (which houses McKenna Theatre), Shepard Recital Hall, Studley Theatre, the Dorsky Museum, the Honors Center, Resnick Engineering Hall, Hopfer Admissions and Alumni Center, International Studies Center and Southside House. Map orders placed with the Print Shop will be filled using the revised map.
Scientific notions
Approximately 30 junior and middle schools will participate in the New York State Class B Science Olympiad to be held here at SUNY on May 2. Hosting students, coaches, teachers, chaperones and spectators, totaling numbers greater than 1000, New Paltz has the opportunity to both encourage the creative study of science and math among young people, and display its charm to approximately 500 potential students of the new millennium. With 21 events featuring tools of science such as eggs, bugs and bottle rockets, we should have no problem entertaining adolescents and adults alike, so be sure not to miss out on any of the fun. Owen Hill (Dean, Engineering) is coordinating the program on the campus for the state organization.
Awards, Honors, and Recognition
Lee Ann Bell (Educational Studies) has been appointed to a three-year term as a member of the Committee on the Role and Status of Women, a standing committee of the American Educational Research Association.

A woman asks Dr. Bill how she can bring romance back into her marriage Show Notes

Dear Dr. Bill,
My husband and I have been married for 10 years and I'm concerned that our relationship has gotten stuck in a rut. Long gone are the days of romantic dinners, love notes, and spontaneous dates. Can you give me some ideas about how to talk to him about this without sounding like I'm nagging him?
Dear Laura,
The place to start is by asking your husband some questions. You'll want to do this in a caring, non-threatening way, resisting the temptation to tell him what YOU think is wrong with the relationship.
Without interrogating him, tell him you'd really like to know how he's been feeling about life lately, and how HE views your marriage relationship.
Chances are that you'll learn one of three things. He may reveal to you that he's concerned about something that has nothing to do with your marriage. Perhaps he's stressed about work, worried about his health, or has been feeling depressed.
A second option may be that he is feeling fine and thinks your marriage is going great. In other words, he's pretty clueless and hasn't noticed anything wrong with the relationship. He loves you and feels warm feelings toward you, but simply doesn't express them.
The third option is that he'll tell you that he's been feeling unhappy in the relationship. He may open up with a whole laundry list of things that have been bothering him. If that happens, do your best not to get defensive, and just let him vent.
Once you get him talking, it's critical that you express to him that you want to work together to get things back on track. In other words, getting your marriage back on track needs to be a "team effort," not you telling him what he needs to do to "fix" things.
A great resource to get you started is "When Bad Things Happen to Good Marriages" by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott.
Thanks for writing, Laura. I'm Bill Maier for WBCL.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
See Joe Giudice's Look-Alike Brother, Pete Giudice! (PHOTOS)
Since so many of Teresa Giudice's family members are on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, we feel like we've come to know (and love!) her brother, cousins, and more — but we know very little about her husband Joe Giudice's family.
While various members of the Giudice clan are seen on the show every now and then, they are nowhere near as prominent as those fun-loving Gorgas. Tre may have tried to patch things up with her brother and Melissa Gorga in Napa, but the Giudices and Gorgas have always had a difficult dynamic.
With the Gorgas often on the outs, Teresa is spending an increasing amount of time with the Giudices, and even tweeted this picture of her hubby Joe and his brother Pete enjoying some Fabellinis several months ago.
"Time to break out The @Fabellini !!! Pete & Joe Guidice!!," Tre tweeted.
Die-hard RHoNJ fans may know that Joe's look-alike brother Pete (whose full name is Pietro) is the same brother whose ID Joe passed off as his own in an effort to get a new driver's license after his was suspended. Joe is currently awaiting trial after being arrested for fraud as a result of the incident. We'd also bet that Pete and his family will be there to help Tre and Joe through the next several months as they deal with their massive fraud trial.
Do you think Joe and his brother look alike? Sound off below!

Johannesburg — Four Lonmin platinum mineworkers have been arrested in connection with killings around the Marikana hostels, North West police said on Wednesday.
"The four suspects were arrested at about 3pm [on Tuesday] in a vehicle while they were coming from the Marikana inquiry," said Brigadier Thulani Ngubane.
"In the past three weeks, four mineworkers were brutally murdered and police have been working tirelessly in their endeavour to arrest the perpetrators."
Ngubane denied that the mineworkers were arrested because they were supposed to testify at the Farlam Commission.
The commission's brief is to investigate the shooting on August 16 that left 34 miners dead when police tried to disperse them in Marikana on August 16.
The workers, who wanted monthly salaries of R12,500, had been carrying knobkerries, pangas, sticks, and iron rods.
During the commission hearing on Tuesday, advocate Dali Mpofu, for 275 arrested miners and the injured, said five of his witnesses, two of them key witnesses, had been arrested.
Ngubane said this was not an intimidation tactic.
"We are confident that there is evidence linking the arrested suspects to the killing of the victims," he said.
Last week, mineworkers at the Lonmin mine went on strike in protest against the arrests.
In all, eight people have been arrested for killings which happened after the August 16 shooting.

Frog's Leap Winery Description
A leaping frog sculpture sits atop the large, red-barn-inspired winery building in Rutherford near the center of Napa Valley. The barn was the site of the Adamson Winery, originally built in 1884, and then refurbished 110 years later to become the home of Frog's Leap Winery. Visitors are encouraged to wander the extensive grounds and gardens. There may even be a sampling of organically grown vegetables, fresh from their gardens, for visitors to enjoy.
The Vineyard House Hospitality Center is just north of the barn and houses the offices, kitchen, reception and tasting areas of the winery. It has the feel of a country bed & breakfast, with an open floor plan and lots of windows, comfortable chairs and a wrap-around veranda. The house itself is a destination as an example of environmental energy design. It was built with reclaimed lumber, painted with low-toxin paint, and uses solar and geothermal power.
The 130-acre parcel is devoted to sustainable agricultural practices, using biodynamic methods that go beyond mere organic farming. By using cover crops and compost, healthy soils are created, producing complex microbial nutrients that contribute to the vines' health and fruit quality. These practices also encourage beneficial insects, eliminating the need for herbicides and synthetic fertilizers. Planting, pruning and harvesting are also directed with the help of the Earth's natural cycles. The results are real, and are supported by the increasing popularity of these methods by leading growers -- and by the product in the bottle.
Frog's Leap flagship wine is their Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc, made in a food-friendly style that complements but doesn't overwhelm. Also produced is Chardonnay, a Riesling Chardonnay blend, Rose, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot and a little Syrah. Look for their new offering of Late-Harvest Riesling.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Many people reach for a Pop-Tart as a breakfast on-the-go. But one University of Northern Iowa student has more of those breakfast pastries than many would ever dream of.
It started with a TV commercial that pointed sophomore Karelyn Pohl to an online Facebook contest.
She took second place in that national Kellogg's contest, winning a truck full of Pop-Tarts. "My favorite is hot fudge Sundae if you put it in the toaster it's just amazing," Pohl said.
Pohl said says she has always liked Pop-Tarts, but she never knew one day she'd win thousands of them. "I just logged and on the Pop-it Forward page. They had a form you could fill out," Pohl said.
The contest was organized in search of a special few with unique ideas for sharing the pastries with others.
Many people prepare their Pop-Tarts in a toaster, but Karelyn is doing something completely different. "Instead of putting the Pop-Tart on top, my idea was to put it in the ice cream so it's like, made into shakes," Pohl said.
And that's all it took to win 100,000 pastries. So now, what is she doing will all of them? She's holding one sweet party, sharing 5,000 with students at UNI Friday afternoon. "Being able to share my idea is best. I want to hear what people have to say about pop-tarts ice cream," Pohl said.
She came up with that idea of a Pop-Tart shake when she worked in an ice cream shop years ago. The party's not the icing on the Pop-Tart. She's sprinkling the other 95,000 out to organizations that will use them to sweeten the lives of others. "About half of them are going to a nation-wide charity to feed under-privileged children and a good portion is going to food banks in my home town of Davenport and then I believe ten thousand I am having go to troops overseas," Pohl said.
Still, she's excited to get a bite out of her winnings Friday, maybe even pocketing a few of her favorites for later. "I think if they do have the hot fudge kind, I'm just going to take them back to my room," Pohl said.

Stung By Wasps AND Suffering From Lyme Disease: I Can't Catch A Break
You know that funny, itchy feeling when something is crawling around or worse, lodged where it doesn't belong?
In addition to grizzly bears, blizzards, hunters, lightning, rattlesnakes, floods, tornadoes, forest fires and avalanches, those of us who dare to poke our heads outdoors now must be on the lookout for meteorites — not that you could do much to protect yourself from a 10,000-ton hunk of rock hurtling from space at 30,000 mph.
Until now, that is.
In response to the giant meteorite that exploded Feb. 15 over Chelyabinsk, Russia, I have come up the perfect protective device: the Fagin Meteorite Early Warning Detector and Deflector.
It is modeled loosely after the Skylab Safety Helmet a buddy and I devised in 1979 when the 169,950-pound space station began veering from orbit.
Back then NASA scientists feared molten Skylab debris would rain down on unlucky earthlings, which caused near-panic among millions of Chicken Littles. Our invention basically consisted of a hardhat and list of instructions ("Place on head. Avoid open spaces. Don't look up.") Later we saw somebody else had the same idea, and I admit that model included a superior feature: An early warning detector consisting of a spike protruding from the helmet that would give the wearer a nano-second alert.
I have refined this concept in the Fagin Meteorite Early Warning Detector and Deflector, offering both a standard version (3-inch spike) and deluxe model (9-inch spike). It also comes with a money-back guarantee; if the Fagin Meteorite Early Warning Detector and Deflector should ever fail, the wearer or his heirs will cheerfully receive a full refund.
I'm reasonably confident about this offer – not so much because of the design of the Fagin Meteorite Early Warning Detector and Deflector, but due to the law of averages.
Back in 1979, some of you may recall, Skylab broke apart and disintegrated when it reentered Earth's atmosphere, with only a small amount of debris striking remote portions of Western Australia.
And every year thousands and thousands of meteorites shoot to earth – nearly all landing harmlessly in the ocean or other uninhabited areas.
In fact, in all of recorded history there has been only one documented case of a fatality attributed to a rock from space – an unlucky Venezuelan cow struck in 1972 by what is now called the Valera Meteorite.
There have been numerous close calls – meteorites striking cars, houses and even, decades ago, grazing a German teenager and Alabama housewife in separate incidents. Scientists say the odds of a human getting turned to guacamole, or perhaps crème brule, by a meteorite are about a trillion to one, or only slightly less than, say, winning the Powerball jackpot.
Now that I think about it, maybe I should be selling meteorite insurance policies rather than hardhats.
Anyway, I'll be taking orders for the Fagin Meteorite Early Warning Detector and Deflector as soon as I come up with a supplier that can guarantee me at least a thousand percent markup. Stay tuned for details.

Mistrial declared for third defendant, who will be retried in the death of Bradley Capen
A jury Wednesday convicted a man of fatally shooting his uncle in a rural area near Temecula nearly two years ago and also found an accomplice guilty of premeditated murder.
A separate jury, however, failed to reach a verdict on another defendant who was accused of driving the killer to the residence of the uncle, Bradley Capen, where the attack occurred on July 6, 2011.
In addition to first-degree murder, jurors at Southwest Justice Center found Kyle Christopher Miller, 29, guilty of being a felon possessing a firearm and conspiracy to commit a crime along with related allegations.
The jurors found Patty Ann Lamoureux, 47, guilty of conspiracy to commit a crime as well as murder and other allegations.
Both face a punishment of life in prison without parole when they are sentenced April 19.
The Riverside County district attorney's office also charged Ian Edward Inserra, 38, with murder, conspiracy and related allegations, but Judge Angel Bermudez declared a mistrial after the jurors in his case said they could not reach a decision.
He was tried separately because of admissions he had made to investigators that created conflicts in trying his case along with the other defendants, said Deputy District Attorney Jess Walsh, who prosecuted each of the cases.
While 10 jurors voted in favor of Inserra's guilt, two on the 12-member panel had doubts about the extent of Inserra's involvement, Walsh said.
"Apparently, there were a couple of jurors who had some concerns about the amount of knowledge that Mr. Inserra had when he helped Miller," Walsh said.
Inserra will be retried on the charges, Walsh said.
"The evidence against Mr. Inserra is compelling, and it's appropriate to go forward and try him again," he said.
Evidence in the trial indicated Inserra and Lamoureux lived together with their son in Winchester, and Miller moved in with them weeks before the crimes after being kicked out of his family's home, where his uncle still resided.
In presenting the case, Walsh contended that all three conspired to rob the victim, Capen, 53, who was known to keep cash in his room for gambling.
Lamoureux helped obtain a sawed-off shotgun that Miller used in the robbery and shooting.
In his opening statements to jurors, Walsh said Miller "put this shotgun close to the head of his uncle and pulled the trigger."
Later, he said, Lamoureux arranged to get rid of the weapon, which investigators found buried in a remote area near Winchester, thanks to a witness's information.
Prosecutors allege that Inserra drove Miller to the family home and waited in a concealed locale until Miller returned and gave him several hundred dollars.
Miller's brother and a friend were awake inside the home near Capen's quarters in the early morning hours and told investigators they heard loud noises that could have been gunshots.
Both said they encountered Miller leaving the area where the uncle lived. The brother said he saw Miller carrying a gun and heard him warn them to forget that he'd been there.

This post does not offer anything to the theorycrafting thread. Please don't use this thread as a board for your personal opinions.
It seems that despite the amount of love MM got in 5.2, the DPS meters shows great favor for SV and BM over MM. theorycrafting on the other hand shows an equal DPS (or near equal) between the 3 specs with no clear winner for single boss fight.
As a hunter that only play MM I often wonder what is the reason for it. Is it the laziness of hunters to re-learn a new spec once they already mastered a valid spec. It is the (assumed) difficult DPS rotation of MM. Is it the MOP mechanics that require a lot of AOE or is it just follow the raidbots/WOL herd (or horde).
I suspect that most hunters just follow the general media which mostly quote SV and BM for the leading specs and don't bother to drill down to numbers. For me it is just fine as I always love to see me ranked in WOL.

It can be disabled by installing a third party launcher... it'll always be on the side-screen in the HTC Launcher. But, you'll never come across it unless you sweep to it if you're in that mode.

I built my scene. I animated my camera through the landscape. But when watching the movie I see an object floating above the water when it was supposed to be sitting in the water. It is stationary, not to be animated. When I tried to move it, auto-key created keyframe animation. Undo. Turn auto-key off. Move object. Hit play. Object reposition didn't take, still hovers.
How do I get Bryce to let me reposition/change an object, terrain, or anything without affecting the animation or creating keyframes?
I searched the manual but all I could find was how to move objects to create animation, not how to fix a mistake. Must I trash my camera path and reanimate after revising the landscape? Not a good solution.

Secret Life of the American Teenager
Secret Life of the American Teenager Recap of Season 4, Episode 9: "Flip Flop"
We love ourselves an emotional roller coaster, but Secret Life of the American Teenager is taking us on a ride full of so many highs and lows that we just might vomit up our sausage. Why can't any of these couples just kiss, make up, get married and have babies like normal teenagers (kidding!).
Relive season 4, episode 9 "Flip Flop" in Wetpaint Entertainment's jaw-dropping recap!
Livin' La Vida Loca
After pulling out all the stops to get her hubby to preggo her eggo, Adrian finally gives up on her evil scheme to win Ben back and sets her eyes on a new piece of tail: Sticky Ricky Underwood.
Adrian meets with her ob-gyn, Dr. Ottavi to chat about her pregnancy options, but the Doc convinces her that a baby isn't what she really wants in life. What she wants is Ricky to be back in her bed for good because (wait for it) she's in love with him! Does anyone else think this girl is overdue for a therapy session? Talk about a flip-flop!
Gossip about Adrian's procreation plans has spread around campus faster than Jack's STI, and before you can say "birth control" Ben knows that his wife is up to her old tricks. So does The Sausage Prince sit Adrian down and tell her to stop pouncing him in his sleep? No. Instead Dr. Fields has to remind Ben that in Secret Life Land, steamy lovin' equals a bun in the oven.
Adrian interrupts Ben's therapy session to tell him that she needs to real talk, and when he gets home, she gives him the OK to break up with her for real ... but is it just us, or does it seem like Ben doesn't want to go? Uh oh, someone wants his sausage stuffed!
Ben tells Adrian that he knows about her plan to get pregnant, and she's furious when she realizes that Grace told him. She calls Cookie up to have a biffle-breakup, but it's like, as if. Grace doesn't need friends when she has three sexy men trying to de-pants her!
Meanwhile, Ben chats to Henry and Alice about how bummed out he is that Adrian doesn't love him anymore, and it looks like he's a few packs of brewski away from crying on a park bench with his Teddy Bear. Things go from bad to worse when Ben realizes that Adrian only wants him out of the house so she can sex up Ricky against the walls of their condo. He tries to tell Adrian as gently as possible that Ricky isn't good enough for her, and then packs up and heads home to confide in Leo and Betty. RIP, Badrian!
Oh, by the way, Leo and Betty are breaking up, too. RIP Bleo!
Promiscuous Girl
Over in Graceland (she ain't nothing but a hound dog), Grace warns Daniel to set his sex-radar to red alert because Adrian is coming after his tighty whities with a vengance! Daniel tries to calm The Cookie Monster down, but it's no good.
She chats to Jack, who reveals that Adrian already called both him and Grant for a few rounds of tonsil hockey! Don't worry, they're both crushing on Grace too hard to give into Adrian's siren call.
Things get tense in Ramy's love shack when Nora needs a place to crash for a few night's so Margaret can have some sexy time with her hubby. Amy's perfectly happy to have a sleep over with Ricky's mom (pillow fight, anyone?), but is it really a good idea for his drunken mother to hang out in the same pad as Baby John? God knows that little kid has "future wino" written all over his onesie. He's impressionable!
Meanwhile, George and Anne are fighting more than ever about their business, so she kicks George out of her condo for good. Back at the loneliest bachelor pad in the world (aka George's house), Daddy Juergens decides it's high time to get himself a roommate. As luck would have it, Ramy, John and Nora swing by for their sleep over, and George invites her to rent out Ashley's garage!
The tension between Amy and Ricky reaches it's peak when Amy finds out that Adrian's on a mission to win her man back. After Adrian stops by The Juergens' to flirt with Ricky, Amy checks Ricky's phone and is devastated to find out that he listened to Adrian's booty call messages after all.
Note to Ricky: Next time your slutty ex-girlfriend offers up an afternoon delight, hit the delete button.
Amy and Ricky proceed to have a huge fight about his supposed feelings for Adrian, and Ricky's so pissed about his gal's trust issues that he storms out of the house for "alone time." Of course he forgets his phone and catches Amy listening to his three (count them: THREE) saved messages from Adrian. Uh oh ... is this the end of Ramy?!
Tune in to an all-new Secret Life of the American Teenager next week to find out!

Israeli soldiers return after crossing the technical fence along the southern Wazzani region, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mohammed Zaatari)
SIDON, Lebanon: The Israeli Army set up Saturday new posts for additional tanks along the border with Lebanon, security sources told The Daily Star.
Residents near the village of Ruweisat Al-Alam, which is located in the occupied Kfar Shuba Hills, said they saw three Israeli tanks guarding a bulldozer that was digging up earth and erecting a 6-meter high sandbag wall.
Lebanese security sources said the Lebanese Army was monitoring the work of Israel along the border, adding that the sandbag walls are often built for tank positions.
Ruweisat Al-Alam is one of three towns that Israel claims are part of Palestinian territories.
The security sources added that the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) are also monitoring the situation.
Israel has in the past crossed over from Ruweisat Al-Alam into Lebanon and kidnapped local shepherds only to return them a few days later.
The Lebanese Army and Hezbollah have been on alert in recent days, particularly given the increase of areal activity by the Israeli Air force, the security sources said.
The over flights are violations to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered an end to the hostilities of the 2006 war between Lebanon and the Jewish state, the sources said.
In January, Israeli jets raided a target in Syria which the U.S. claims was a weapons convoy. Days after the incident, Damascus claimed Israeli rockets hit a research facility near the capital, Damascus.

Everything about our test car was right, from the soft and supportive leather seats to the depth of the LeMans Blue paint and the beautiful Commemorative Edition emblems. The LS1's power band is a thing of beauty; it's so strong across the rpm range. The six-speed gearbox is smooth and concise; it's become the benchmark by which we measure all other domestic performance-car manual boxes. And hooked to the 3.42 rear axle, the CE convertible is a stormer off the line. Zero to sixty is achieved in 4.8 seconds, and the quarter-mile is done in 13.6 seconds at 107 mph. Those who are lucky enough to live in the vast Montana vistas can appreciate the top speed of 175 mph.
All of this factors into the '04 becoming the best in the breed's 51-year history. The clichd line, "It's the best Vette yet," certainly applies here. The '04 Commemorative Edition is a tribute to a generation of Corvettes that redefined what America's sports car is all about. The C5 is gonna be a tough act to follow.

NFC (or Near Field Communication) is a wireless high-frequency communication technology for small distances (up to 10 centimeters), which supports data transfer between devices disposed not too far apart, such as between a contactless reader and a cell phone or smart-card. NFC holds tremendous promise for the broadest gamut of applications in everyday life and in business, from commercial services to healthcare and education.
The world's foremost high-tech and finance players - Google, Intel, Samsung, Nokia, Visa, MasterCard, Citigroup, Barclaycard and others - are firmly committed to evolving and implementing the NFC technology. Their vested interest in NFC indicates that the technology stands to become the actual and juridical standard-bearer in contactless solutions for the next decade.
The latest trend in NFC is the simultaneous developing of services based on the use of smart-cards and mobile devices.
Both options fit in perfectly with a universal NFC ecosystem, where a smart-card or a cell phone with an integrated NFC chip become multipurpose devices used as:
The NFC chip can store large amounts of critical data, which, if needed, can be safely encrypted.
Truck drivers from UK-based construction firm McGee Group can now log their daily vehicle inspections by tapping a tablet or smartphone against NFC tags mounted on their lorries, using a platform supplied by mobility solutions provider Mobilengine.29.06.2015
