"I sent off the order, only to realise that night that I had to change the date of the event due to scheduling problems! I called Tiny Prints early the next morning and was able to put a hold on the printing until I could confirm the date. I called 2 days later and they were able to send it off to a designer before it went to printing. The staff were very understanding and helpful. And I got the order 2 days later! And I live in Canada! Very happy with the quality of the invitations. I will definitely use Tiny Prints again and recommend it to my friends!"
"I love the way these invitations turned out! The quality is great, I love that I was able to personalize the text layout. All the different picture arrangements were awesome, I was able to find the perfect layout, and make this card exactly how I pictured it in my head. Everyone loved how they looked, a few people even framed the back of the card because the picture quality was so good. I am very happy and proud with how this product and will definitely be ordering cards from TinyPrints again"
"I truly love how the invitations came out, everybody loved it! The process was so easy! I Will definitely be printing out all my future invitations here!! AMAZING JOB!"
"I was so pleased with the design review process. I requested that the writing on the card stand out against the photo that I selected so it could be easily read and the proof I was sent was exactly what I was looking for."

BIRDS are dying in Britain because agriculture is robbing them of their food. A survey published in the
Tim Benton's team at the University of Stirling examined the contents of a 12-metre-high suction trap that sampled insects daily from April to October between 1972 and 1998. Their findings confirm that insects and birds have declined in tandem. They say modern farming robs insects of hedgerow habitats and exposes them to more pesticides.

Post your ads on most popular free classifed sites
Since the very beginning classified sites have a specific internal structure, which is dictated by the simple human requirements to separate the wheat from the chaff, and apartments from cars. Classified sites are divided into sections frequently repeated as a blueprint. Almost every "wide-ranged" site has sections as "Real Estate", "Services", "Transport", "Household appliances" and many others depending on its popularity. We agree that such rubrication is convenient and practical. Visiting a classified site you can always decide where to go next. For instance, you are looking for a Persian kitten. Most likely you will not be interested in section named "Construction". You will go directly to "Animals" section to choose the kitten you like. The same is with classifieds posting. A motorbike sale ad is much more efficient if placed in the correct section and not just put somewhere between basement rent and horse feed sale.
So what are the most popular classified sites categories today?
First of all, and it's obvious, these are real estate and transport. The reasons are simple: people need to live somewhere and drive something. You can find tons of offers for apartment or commercial real estate rent, sale or purchase to any taste and wallet amount. The same situation is with transport. Offers vary from grandfather's bicycle for 100$ to representative limousines cost over 100000$.

For 90 years, the embalmed corpse of Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin has been on public display in Moscow's Red Square. But ever since the Soviet Union collapsed, a debate has raged over whether to move it – or bury him once and for all. UC Berkeley social anthropologist Alexei Yurchak, an expert on the science and politics surrounding the corpse, believes the body won't be moved anytime soon.

Welcome to the Australian Wine Centre
This nero d'avola is another. It's sweetly fruited, leathery but bright, and is awash with integrated, refreshing acidity. A 'one glass isn't enough' kind of wine. It tastes of jubey boysenberry shot through with spice, dust and aniseed, and has plenty of grippy dryness through the finish. Not a big wine, but it makes more of an impact than its size would suggest. " 92 points Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $100.00
Special Price: $96.00As low as: $89.99
"94+ Points. I reckon I've tasted every vintage of Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay on release since 1992, so this brings me up to 21 vintages. I'm an adult now. I like this a little more than the 2011.
Hazelnut, pear, melon, toast and clove spiced wood. Full bodied, toasty savoury wood plays a leading role in the flavour profile, though of course there's the typical Leeuwin fruit power to go with it. Pear and lime in the mix, silky honeyed texture, then a little crunch of tannin on the finish. Great length. Has complexity already as a young wine, but really needs a few years to settle down and mesh, at which point it will almost certainly rate a little higher. Tasted: Mar15 Alcohol: 14% Price: $99 Closure: Screwcap Drink: 2018 - 2025+"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front. 94+ points

.....It tastes like the future of Barossa Mataro. Just 1290 bottles produced.
Dark maroon-purple, it's genuinely fragrant - which is revelatory for dour old Barossa Mataro - with the spicy whole bunch fruit giving a whole new sexy edge. There's a lightness and freshness of black fruit, tilled earth and fine tannins, if not quite the depth and length of a superstar. Gee this is much more approachable and lively than nearly any other Barossan Mataro though! Love the licoricey fruit and refreshing style.
Yes. Yes yes yes.
Best drinking: 2015-2025
Score: 18/20, 93/100
Would I buy it? If I saw this on a list I'd buy it for sure. - Andrew Graham OzWineReview"
Regular Price: $100.00
Special Price: $95.00As low as: $90.00
Contemplative wine this one, and much like grand Pinot Noir, of which it shares a certain weight and perfume, it really evolves and shifts around with time in glass. Turkish delight perfume dusted with pepper and dusty exotic spices, raspberry and ripe strawberry, raw almonds, pears poached in red wine studded with clove and cinnamon, and a host of other things, real or imagined.
Light to medium bodied, rippling with tone and muscle, funk and spice, slaty tannin and dryness, then that kiss of red fruits and perfume. It's pretty, and tough at the same time. Takes some time and effort to get to know, though certainly it's worth the effort. Quite outside the mainstream of Australian wine too, which is no bad thing. Real vinosity and verve. Think the score is more or less right. 96 points Gary Walsh Winefront.com.au"Learn More
Regular Price: $28.99
Special Price: $27.00
The lifted wine offers briary fruit dominated by fresh cherries, blueberries and complexing nutmeg spice. The palate is full, flavorsome and long with evident fine tannins.
"93 Points. From Paringa's three leased vineyards, hand-picked on 11 days between 6 and 20 Mar. A wine of remarkable length, behaving as much like chardonnay as pinot in its structure; the flavours of damson plum and red cherry are pure pinot, the mouthfeel fresh and balanced.

Special Price: $19.00As low as: $17.99
Nice wine this – feels like essence of Hunter Valley Shiraz. Medium bodied with savoury tannins drawling through the wine. Offers up red fruits, dustiness but not too much, and light, washy acidity keeps things fresh. It might lack some stuffing but it's pitch-perfect as an example of Hunter and drinkability with savouriness. Crunch and chew in the finish lends a hand.
Better than you think. 91 points Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $22.99
Special Price: $21.00As low as: $20.50
In the vernacular of cricket commentators, 'whaddarippa!'. Does everything you want of a lightish to mediumish bodied red. Bright, friendly, fruity, spicy perfume. Juiciness to texture, some savouriness of earth and stones in the mix of dark, gently sweet fruit with a whip crack of acidity to freshen the palate. It's like every wine you've drunk too much of because you're onto a good thing. Slurp away, satisfied, touch of complexity, feels good in the mouth,
goes down with a glide. Yes thanks; and what a bargain! 93 points Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $22.99
Special Price: $21.50As low as: $21.00
Bright plum red; the nose has a soft red fruit fragrance - there's a reference on the back label to 'pink marshmallow' which I think is great. Sappy, dry palate is framed with tannins - bitter, mouth-cleansing, proper tannins. Complement that with some cherry red fruit late juiciness and you've got frankly one utterly delicious, dry and savoury red. Those tannins are perhaps just a little too bitter, but gee it makes for a refreshing and vital one.
Massive yes. Drink 2015-2025+. 18/20, 93/100

Miss Universe 2013: Miss USA's Transformer and more national costumesAdd to Favorites | 2013 Miss Universe
Before the 2013 Miss Universe pageant gets underway, the contestants took part in a preliminary runway where they donned costumes that represented their countries. The results were mixed, with some being truly lovely, while others are a bit confusing.
Take Miss USA Erin Brady, for instance. Her costume, created by Victoria's Secret costume designer Martin Izquierdo, is a Transformer of all things. Brady looks like a strange version of Optimus Prime from the Michael Bay film series. Brady addressed the costume on her Instagram, writing, "Nothing screams national costume like the first Miss USA transformer. Embracing powerful women to a transforming country that's made up of so much. That's what Miss USA means to me." The irony is the Transformers line of toys originated in Japan, before they were renamed for the United States.
The other costumes range from over the top, to abstract. Then there's Miss Canada, who picked up a "sexy bounty" costume at the Halloween store. Check out some of the highlights below, before taking a look at the gallery of all 85 participating countries.
The 2013 Miss Universe pageant airs Saturday, November 9, at 9 p.m. ET.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Spoiler: We Will Definitely See [SPOILER] Again
On Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 3: "Lady of the Lake," another hero emerged in an unlikely way. In flashbacks to the time when Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) got married, we met Lancelot (Sinqua Walls), a fallen knight who was supposed to be working for King George (Alan Dale).
Lancelot wound up on Snow and Charming's side, and worked with Charming's mother to make sure Snow could break King George's infertility curse. He even officiated their wedding!
So it was shocking to find out that, in present-day Fairytale Land, the Lancelot that Snow thinks she's reunited with was actually Cora (Barbara Hershey) in disguise. Should we believe Cora's story that she killed Lancelot a long time ago?
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
In a series of lightning round questions, executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis were asked by TVGuide, "Even though Cora says she killed Lancelot, have we seen the last of him?"
Adam answered "No," and Edward said, "Why does everyone just believe what Cora says? Not one person on the blogs have doubted Cora, as if she's the most trustworthy character that we have! She's not Snow White, for God's sake!"
Fair enough! Sounds like Cora was just making that story up, and that Lancelot is still around in Fairytale Land. Has he changed since the curse was cast and then broken? Will he still be fighting alongside Snow? Only time will tell!
Catch the next new episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, October 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Nowadays most of the Restaurants and other businesses have a "Find Locations" functionality on their websites which lists nearest locations for a given address/Zip. How is this implemented? Matching the zipcode against the DB is a simple no-brainer way to do but may not always work, for example there may be a branch closer to the given location but could be in a different zip. One approach that comes to my mind is to convert the given zip-code/address into map co-ordinates and list any branches falling into a pre-defined radius. I welcome your thoughts on how this would've been implemented.If possible provide more detailed implementation details like any web-services used etc.,
A lot of geospatial frameworks will help you out with this. In the geospatial world, a zip code is just a "polygon", which is just an area on a map which defines clear boundaries (not a polygon in the math sense). In SQL 2008 spatial, for example, you can create a new polygon based on your original polygon. So you can dynamically create a polygon that is your zip code extended by a certain distance at every point. It takes the funky shape of the zip code into account. With an address, It's easy, because you just create a polygon, which is a circle around the one point. You can then do queries give you all points within the new polygon that you created in either method.
A lot of these sites are basically just doing this. They give you all points within a 5 mile extended polygon, and then maybe a 10 mile extended polygon, and so on and so forth. They are not actually calculating distance. Most ma stuff on the web is not sophisticated at all.
You can see some basic examples here to get the general idea of what I'm talking about.
There is a standard zipode/location database available. Here is one version in Access format that includes the lat/long of the zipcode as well as other information. You can then use The PostgreSQL GIS extensions to do searches on the locations for example.
(assuming of course that you extract the access db and insert into a more friendly database like PostgreSQL)
First, you Geocode the address, translating it into (usually) a latitude and longitude. Then, you do a nearest-neighbour query on your database for points of interest.
Most spatial indexes don't directly support nearest-neighbour queries, so the usual approach here is to query on a bounding box of a reasonable size with the geocoded point at the center, then sort the results in memory to pick the closest ones.
Just like you said. Convert an address/ZIP into a 2D world coordinate and compare it to other known locations. Pick the nearest. :) I think some DB's (Oracle, MSSQL 2008) even offer some functions that can help, but I've never used them.
I think it is pretty universal. They take the address or zipcode and turn it in to a "map coordinate" (differs depending on implementation, probably a lat/long) and then using the "map coordinates" of the things in the database it is easy to calculate a distance.
Note that some poor implementations convert the zipcode in to a coordinate representing the center of the zipcode area, which sometimes gives bad results.
Your thoughts on how to do it are how I would probably do it. You can geocode the co-oridinated for the zip and then do calculations based on that. I know SQL Server 2008 has some special new functionality to help doing queries based on these geocoded lon/lat co-ordinates.
There are actual geometric algorithms and/or datastructures that support lower O(...) nearest location queries on point, line and/or region data.
See this book as an example of information on some of them, like: Voronoi diagrams, quadtrees, etc.
However I think the other answers here are right in most cases that you find in software today:
I had table that i would compile a database table every 6months it contained 3 columns, I used it for a few clients in Australia, it contained about 40k of rows, very lightweight to run a query. this is quite quick, if just looking to get something off the ground for a client
There may be plenty optimization that you could do to speed up this query!.

Academic Programs: Concentrations
Biophysics Concentration
Much of today's scientific effort is directed toward an understanding of biological processes from the physical and chemical points of view. Curricular initiatives at Haverford, begun as a result of a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, led to the development of biologically oriented courses of study in the chemistry and physics departments. The concentration in biochemistry and biophysics recognizes current and undoubtedly enduring trends in interdisciplinary science by establishing in the curriculum a formal program of classroom and laboratory training at the interface between the physical and biological sciences. To be a member of the concentration a student must major in one of the three sponsoring departments: biology, chemistry, or physics.
Visit the Biophysics Concentration Website
Scientific Computing Concentration
The concentration in scientific computing gives students an opportunity to develop a basic facility with the tools and concepts involved in applying computation to a scientific problem, and to explore the specific computational aspects of their own major disciplines.
Visit the Scientific Computing Concentration Website
Computer Science Concentration
Computer Science Concentrations are available to physics and math majors. Concentrations are grounded in two or more majors and function to expose students to fields related to their major in substantial ways. The physics computer science concentration focuses on the hardware aspects of computer science and their basis in physics and electronics, as well as the use of the computer as a tool for physicists. The mathematics concentration is centered more on the logical and mathematical underpinnings of the field.
Visit the Computer Science Concentration Webpage
Education Concentration
In the past year, our Education Program has added a number of options. Formerly, our majors interested in Education could elect a Education Concentration from the physics major and consider studying for certification as part of their four-year-degree program. Perhaps the most significant change is the addition of a 5th year certification option, which enables graduates of both Bryn Mawr and Haverford to obtain a secondary teacher certification with us at an affordable rate after they graduate.
Visit the Education Concentration Webpage
Independent Materials Science Concentration
Students interested in pursuing intensive study in Materials Science should contact the Chemistry or Physics Department for advice in formulating an independent program of study. You can then apply to the Committe on Student Standing and Programs for consideration and approval of such an independent Concentration.
Visit the Independent Materials Science Concentration Webpage
Engineering Options
While Haverford does not offer a formal engineering degree program, many of our alumni/ae have pursued successful and interesting careers in various engineering disciplines. Students have several options which they can pursue to gain exposure to engineering during their B.S. studies.

E' un capolavoro? Può darsi, ma non è così evidente. E' tra le righe che si sviluppa la maestria di Y, non nelle parole. Le parole sono semplici, immediate, comprensibili. La tela che tesse con questi pezzetti di quotidianità, invece, è leggera ma vischiosa, trasparente ma oscura, così reale che diventa iperrealista. Hopper ha dipinto le sue opere solo qualche anno prima, e Y. le mette su carta, con il vigore e la semplicità di un maestro zen. E' un capolavoro? Sicuramente lo è. E se fossimo cresciuti in quegli anni, negli States, e non li conoscessimo solo per aver visto Happy Days, avremmo avuto qualche brivido nel leggerci così scoperti e ridicoli. Così ovvi.
Good. Moody, dissolution of modern marriage.
This book got me looking for everything she wrote.
Noted during my 1980's attempt to read every book in my small town library.
This is a 1961 novel which Time in 2001 named as one of the 100 best novels of all-time, though when it first came out in 1961 it sold poorly. The author, Richard Yates, was born Feb 3, 1926, which happens to be the exact date one of my brothers was born. Yates died Nov 7, 1992. I used to think the book was a historical novel dealing with the American Revoluiton, but the title is a road in a Connecticut suburb. Frank Wheeler is a pretty obnoxious person and one can sympathize with his wife, who is also a weak and non-admirable character. There is a time in the novel when one admires Frank for opposing his wife's desire to kill their unborn child. But in general I could not appreciate much in this novel, which reads smoothly enough but is an account of vapid folk.
This is a sad, we'll-written novel of a flawed couple that move to the suburbs during the 1950s.
Having read the book after seeing the movie--I was a little surprised at how strong and potent it was, and the feelings that it arose. I felt more sympathy (pity?) for the characters even than I had in the movie. I also felt that the characters had more say and responsibility in what happened than I did in the movie. They became more real--but less likable.
Definitely worth it!
Writing in controlled, economical prose, Mr. Yates delineates the shape of these disintegrating lives without lapsing into sentimentality or melodrama. His ear for dialogue enables him to infuse the banal chitchat of suburbia with a subtext of Pinteresque proportions, and he proves equally skilled at reproducing the pretentious, status-conscious talk of people brought up on Freud and Marx.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0375708448, Paperback)The rediscovery and rejuvenation of Richard Yates's 1961 novel Revolutionary Road is due in large part to its continuing emotional and moral resonance for an early 21st-century readership. April and Frank Wheeler are a young, ostensibly thriving couple living with their two children in a prosperous Connecticut suburb in the mid-1950s. However, like the characters in John Updike's similarly themed Couples, the self-assured exterior masks a creeping frustration at their inability to feel fulfilled in their relationships or careers. Frank is mired in a well-paying but boring office job and April is a housewife still mourning the demise of her hoped-for acting career. Determined to identify themselves as superior to the mediocre sprawl of suburbanites who surround them, they decide to move to France where they will be better able to develop their true artistic sensibilities, free of the consumerist demands of capitalist America. As their relationship deteriorates into an endless cycle of squabbling, jealousy and recriminations, their trip and their dreams of self-fulfillment are thrown into jeopardy.
Yates's incisive, moving, and often very funny prose weaves a tale that is at once a fascinating period piece and a prescient anticipation of the way we live now. Many of the cultural motifs seem quaintly dated--the early-evening cocktails, Frank's illicit lunch breaks with his secretary, the way Frank isn't averse to knocking April around when she speaks out of turn--and yet the quiet desperation at thwarted dreams reverberates as much now as it did years ago. Like F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, this novel conveys, with brilliant erudition, the exacting cost of chasing the American dream. --Jane Morris, Amazon.co.uk
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:02:33 -0400)
The devastating effects of work, adultery, rebellion, and self-deception slowly destroy the once successful marriage of Frank and April Wheeler, a suburban American couple.

On Trend: Men's Novelty Socks

Socks are catching up to ties and cuff links on the list of fashionable flair items for men. From short to tall or ribbed to smooth, these days bright colors and bold patterns are de rigueur among dapper fellows.
According to Stephen Skoda of Houston boutique M Penner, "lots of CEOs and docs of all ages are pairing novelty socks with their pinstripe suits."
Socks stock is on the rise nationally as well. Swedish company Happy Socks recently opened its first U.S. outpost in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. And Robert Kardashian, who comes from a family that's no stranger to product enterprise, last year debuted his latest business venture, a splashy sock line called Arthur George.
A few distinguished pairing suggestions for sharp dressed men: A Brioni suit would do well with a vibrant color sans pattern by English brand Pantherella, and a more casual Diesel-loving guy might opt for pastel skulls by Alexander McQueen.
Perhaps the best part about the trend? Unlike most men's accessories, socks are mostly inexpensive, and can be changed seasonally without buyer's remorse. To keep hues Tide bright, turn your flair pair inside out before washing on the gentle cycle and them hang dry, as heat from the dryer causes the breakdown of the fabric's elasticity.

* U.N. largely shut out from Syria during crackdown
* Ban also calls for genuine national dialogue in Bahrain
GENEVA, Jul 7 (Reuters) - United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon called on Syria on Thursday to give U.N. aid workers immediate access to evaluate the needs of civilians caught up in a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests.
The world body has been largely shut out from Syria, which has also prevented most independent media from operating inside the country, making it difficult to verify accounts from authorities and activists.
Ban urged the government of President Bashar al-Assad to allow a team of U.N. human rights investigators, who have been in the region, to carry out their mission in Syria.
"In Syria, the killings continue and this must stop. I call on the Syrian leadership to deliver on its commitments and allow in the United Nations humanitarian assessment team and the human rights fact-finding mission mandated by the Human Rights Council. It is time to see progress there," Ban told reporters.
Residents in the Syrian city of Hama blocked streets with burning tyres on Thursday to keep out busloads of security forces, and dozens of families fled to a nearby town, an activist and a resident said.
On Bahrain, where Sunni rulers crushed mostly Shi&${esc.hash}39;ite-led pro-democracy protests in March, Ban welcomed the start of a national dialogue.
"That dialogue must be genuine, fully inclusive and concrete. It must set the stage for real reforms that meet the legitimate aspirations of the Bahraini people," he said. (Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Elizabeth Fullerton)

In keeping with a 2008 campaign promise, President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats have moved health care reform to the front of the current legislative agenda in Washington.
The Senate is weighing what's known to some as the Kennedy-Dodd health care bill, named for two crusading health care reformers, Ted Kennedy and Christopher Dodd, both of whom have championed meaningful health care reform for decades.
Thank you Tom Perriello — for stabbing the working people of the 5th District in the back.
On June 29, 41 House Democrats had the courage to stand up to Supreme Leader Nancy Pelosi. They voted against her cap-and-trade energy bill. Congressman Perriello was not one of them. He voted for this nightmare, which narrowly passed the House of Representatives by seven votes.

Summer became official last week.
It wasn't the summer solstice that kicked off the season. Rather, it was the opening of several sports camps across the county.
Though a definite determination will probably never be possible, authorities from Bedford County Fire and Rescue believe that a fire that destroyed a Forest shopping center on June 20 was caused from a cigarette, or the match that was used to light it.
From photographs submitted to the agency, Fire Marshal John Jennings determined that the fire began in some cardboard boxes at a deck behind the Blackwater Bike Shop. Those photographs were taken by Laura Layton who was inside the I.C. Studios tattoo shop at the strip mall when the fire began.
The cause of the March fire at the $1.2 million Smith Mountain Lake home of Wesley Earnest is still under investigation, according to Bedford County Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Krantz.
Bedford Main Street, Inc. will receive funding from the city of Bedford for the next six months, but representatives from the organization must appear before city council in July to explain how they plan to reorganize.
As soon as the teachers checked out, the construction crews checked into the administration building at Staunton River High School.
As part of the project that included construction of a new gymnasium and classrooms at the school, completed earlier this year, crews from JSK Partnership are now working on a $750,000 remodeling of the office space at SRHS. The entire building was gutted and is being redesigned.

Nothing like Open Country was, though we've had a few very big donations
from some of our members. (A number of them by Tim Riley from AppaHost.)
We may simply have enough cash to afford it w/o any donations, and without

Picabo Street is not only an Olympic gold medalist, she's a mom striving to inspire her children to achieve their goals. Picabo set her sights on Olympic gold at age 10. She now shares why it's important to find inspiration and how she discovered what inspires her children to succeed as well.
|Be Inspired Tips
Discover their passions:
Practice what you preach:
Discovering Your Children's Passion
According to Picabo, there are two important rules for parents to keeping kids motivated: Don't judge what your children want to do, and support them once they have found what they are interested in. If your child needs help finding something that inspires them, providing options is a place to start.
"If they're not motivated, and they're not fired up, and there's nothing out there on the table, you've got to discover it," she says. "I think the way you motivate anyone is by finding out what they're passionate about. What do they like? What are they interested in?" Picabo suggests going to a store, and ask your kids to pick out a magazine and then see what subject they choose. If one of Picabo's children becomes interested in something that she doesn't know much about, she adds that it helped her to learn about it as well. "If they're into something you're not into, you'd better get busy figuring it out. If they're really into it, and they really like it, they're probably going to go for it," She says. "And the sooner you get onboard in figuring it out, too, the better your journey's going to be together."
Chart A Course With Your Family
Picabo uses familiar tools to help communicate goal-setting with her children. She talks about the road ahead when her family is in the car together planning a trip with the vehicle's GPS."What is your GPS set to? Where are you headed? Do you have your GPS set on something successful?" she says. "This opens up the conversation to talk to about where they're headed, and it's in a language that they can get because it's technology that they're dealing with on a daily basis."
Keep Reasonable Expectations For You And Your Kids
Picabo works hard to find the balance between her own expectations as an individual and her expectations of her family.

Design vs. Internet Design
1. How
is Designing for an Intranet Different?
Examples of
Good Intranets / Good Intranet Uses
to Nielsen, intranets should be complete "information structures"
for a corporation. And, the list of intranet capabilities is growing
every day.
An intranet
can be used to:
I. Hewlett-Packard/Compaq
Merger: In May of 2001, two large technology companies, Hewlett-Packard
and Compaq, merged to form one company. As many companies have
learned in the last decade, mergers are becoming more and more
complex. Two sets of leadership, two workforces, two sets of buildings
and locations all had to be combined--including their two intranets.
How did they
do it? It takes a lot of time and hard work to make ONE intranet
effective, much less two intranets. They began by analyzing the
strengths and weaknesses of each separate intranet. Then, they
decided that HP's intranet should be the core of the new intranet,
because it had more advanced capabilities, better functionality,
more streamlined content management capabilities, and cleaner
navigation. Once the core intranet was set up, all of the content
from Compaq's intranet was moved over to the combined intranet.
The "new"
intranet of the combined company played a large part in helping
employees and management stay informed throughout the entire merger.
In fact, online merger communications played a large part in easing
the two cultures through a major change. Before the merger began,
the intranet featured Q & A resources, informative presentations,
interviews with senior leaders, and recent news clips. These resources
were constantly updated and developed throughout the merger. Then,
as the merger ended, employees were able to fill out online forms
outlining their questions and concerns. These forms were then
submitted to the "merger integration team," which then
All of the
questions and concerns that the team received were tracked so
that they could file them into various categories. Simple reports
were conducted to find out if there were trends that needed to
be addressed company-wide. Sometimes, the merger integration team
was able to spot a trend in one geographical location and then
give a "heads-up" to other locations.

Some of us use the same password for every login. (Very bad idea.) If you are one of these people, you don't require a password manager. (Unless, of course, you need a password manager to remember all your usernames. Would it then be considered a username manager? o_O) However, many of us don't use the same password for all logins. While we may not necessarily have a different password for every login, we do use multiple different passwords for our logins and need help remembering them. (There is no shame in needing assistance to remember login information.) This is why God created password managers.
Take note while the norm for password managers in Windows is to be highly integrated with the Internet browser (i.e. how Roboform shows a popup window whenever you load a login page), password managers are more simplistic on Android: They typically aren't integrated with the Internet browser, but rather they serve as a visual reference which you can look at before you go to login. In other words, with password managers on Android you look at the login information, store it in your short-term memory, and login before you forget the login information. Android password managers don't perform "automated logins" – they don't enter the username/password for you into websites. (Most of them don't right now, anyway; Android password management may evolve in the future to include automated logins.)

Best Free Password Manager
App Name: KeePassDroid
Developer: Brian Pellin
Download Size: 943 KB
Version Reviewed: v1.9.2
Requires: Android 1.5 and up
- Allows users to easily create and easily access login data.
- All login data are stored in an encrypted and password protected database.
- Allows users to easily copy username and/or password to clipboard for easy pasting when logging in.
- Hides passwords behind astricks, giving users the option to temporarily show passwords if they want to see them.
- Has the ability to automatically logout of KeePassDroid after inactivity.
- Has the ability to automatically clear clipboard after a username or password has been copied.
- Supports the use of keyfiles, for enhanced security.
- Allows users to have multiple different databases.
- Can be installed in/moved to the SD card.
- Can generate secure passwords.
- Ads-free.
- Does not have the option to have a KeePassDroid icon in the notification bar for app quick access.
KeePass is a free, open source (and highly popular) password manager for Windows, Linux, and Mac. KeePassDroid is the Android version of KeePass. As such, it includes all the excellence and security of KeePass… in 'droid form.
In terms of storing passwords, KeePassDroid provides the same basic password management functionality as all other password managers for Android. What makes KeePassDroid more attractive than the competition is its combination of simplicity and security:
- KeePassDroid is very simple to operate and easy to use. There are only two things users have to worry about in regards to password management: Groups and entries. Groups are simply a way to organize login entries; you can think of them as folders. By default KeePassDroid comes with "eMail" and "Internet" groups, but you can add more if you feel the need or even delete "eMail" and "Internet" if you feel inclined to do so. Entries are what store login data. An entry is comprised of entry name, entry icon, login URL, login username, login password, and comments. All entry data is optional except for the entry name: You can pick and chose which fields to fill in and which fields not to fill in.
- Accessing login information is as easy as selecting the group the entry is located in and tapping on the login entry you desire. When you click on the login entry, two things happen. Firstly, you are shown the information associated with that login entry. For security purposes, the password is masked with astricks but you can manually temporarily show it by pressing the menu key and tapping "Show password". Secondly, KeePassDroid adds two items to your notification bar: Copy password to clipboard and Copy username to clipboard. These notification bar entries allow you to easily copy the username and/or password to Android clipboard so you can paste it in wherever you are logging in.
- KeePassDroid encrypts its databases using Rijndael AES. For those that don't know, this is a very secure algorithm.
- In addition to requiring a master password to access databases, KeePassDroid supports the use of keyfiles for additional authentication security. (Keyfiles, however, are optional – you don't have to use them if you don't want to.)
- For all login entries, KeePassDroid masks passwords with astricks. This prevents wondering eyes from seeing your passwords. You do, of course, have the ability to temporarily show passwords (Menu key -> Show password) or turn off the masking totally (from the settings).
- KeePassDroid has the ability to automatically logout of the database after 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes of inactivity. (You select whether you want 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes. You also have the ability to disable this option.)
- KeePassDroid has the ability to automatically clear Android clipboard 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes after a username or password has been copied. (You select whether you want 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes. You also have the ability to disable this option.)
- KeePassDroid does not have internet access privileges. This means piece of mind for users; without internet access privileges there is no way passwords are being shipped off to some server in the middle of not here.
That said, I would like to point out three things:
- If you use a clipboard manager, every time you copy a username and/or password from KeePassDroid, the clipboard manager will record it. KeePassDroid is able to clear Android's clipboard but it cannot clear a clipboard manager. Your usernames and/or passwords will be recorded in the clipboard manager. Be aware of this fact.
- KeePassDroid uses .KDB databases. Since KeePass also uses .KDB databases, that means you can import/export data from your Windows (or Linux or Mac) to/from your Android phone. (However, take note KeePassDroid does not use .KDBX databases. It can read, but not write, .KDBX databases.) You can use an app like Dropbox to sync the databases across all your devices and machines.
- KeePassDroid does not have the native ability to import passwords from other password managers (such as Roboform passwords). However, as I just mentioned KeePassDroid can import/export .KDB databases from the desktop version of KeePass. The desktop version of KeePass has extensive support for importing passwords from other password managers. If you use a password manager on your desktop other than KeePass, you can download KeePass, import the passwords from the other manager into a .KDB database using KeePass, then export the .KDB database onto your Android phone so KeePassDroid can use it. In about 10-15 minutes you can have the passwords stored on your desktop onto your phone.
Lastly, there is one issue I have with KeePassDroid. In my opinion, it is reasonable that a user may heavily use KeePassDroid. It gets very annoying to have to navigate to KeePassDroid on the homescreen (or in the app tray) whenever you want to access it. I would like KeePassDroid to have the option of placing an icon in the notification bar which would allow users to access KeePassDroid with the tap of a button.
To conclude, sure KeePassDroid may not have a very fancy interface, but the combination of simplicity and security and interconnectedness with the desktop version of KeePass puts KeePassDroid at the top of my list as the best free password manager for Android.
Runner Up
App Name: Pocket
Developer: Tim Clark
Download Size: 1.3 MB
Version Reviewed: v2.5
Requires: Android 1.6 and up
Like KeePassDroid, Pocket allows users to save login (username, password, and notes) information. However, in addition to that, Pocket provides users with the ability to save many other types of information such as bank account details, credit card information, insurance information, and a lot more other categories. Pocket also has built-in support for Dropbox sync, whereas you must manually do it with KeePassDroid. Supporting more types of information, however, makes Pocket a bit more cluttered and "harder" to use than KeePassDroid. I put harder in quotes because Pocket really isn't that hard to use.
In regards to login information, like KeePassDroid, Pocket masks passwords and allows users to copy usernames and/or password. (Uou must tap the username/password in Pocket to copy it; there are no shortcuts put in the notification bar.) Pocket also has the ability to automatically logout after X time of inactivity.
In my opinion, the biggest attraction of Pocket over KeePassDroid (aside from the obvious fact that Pocket supports more types of information) is Pocket's interface. Pocket's interface is very well designed, as opposed to KeePassDroid which is basically just black. On the other hand, however, Pocket shows ads so it requires internet access privileges. (You can purchase Pocket Pro about $2.20 USD to get rid of the ads.) According to the developer, Pocket uses AES encryption and SHA hashing to protect you, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about regarding internet access. However, for the truly paranoid (like myself) internet access in a password storage app is a deal-breaker.
Overall, I feel the final decider between KeePassDroid and Pocket will come down to simplicity vs features. If you are looking for a simple, secure password manager KeePassDroid is the way to go. If you are looking for a password manager with other functionality, Pocket is superior.
If you do end up going with Pocket, let me give you a heads up about something so you are aware. When trying to access Pocket, you are asked to enter the master password. At that same screen there is a question mark button in the top right corner. When the question mark button is tapped, it tells users a password is required to login and shows a "Forgot" button for users that forgot their password. This "Forgot" button does not remind you of the master password. Rather, it gives you the option to completely delete the whole database and start from scratch. Anyone can access this and erase the database. If you piss someone off and they know about Pocket, they can get back at you by wiping your whole database via the method I just described. I highly suggest you consider using an application locker on Pocket to avoid being ****ed by someone.
Honorable Mention
App Name: B-Folders
Developer: JointLogic Ltd.
Download Size: 327 KB
Version Reviewed: v2.9.2
Requires: Android 1.6 and up
Like Pocket, B-Folders manages users' login information and then some. However, in regards to password management B-Folders is not as good as KeePassDroid; in regards to support for other types of information, Pocket has B-Folders beat. Plus out of all three apps, B-Folders probably has the most confusing interface. (Although, it isn't that bad either.) However, what makes B-Folders a competitior is its native sync feature.
B-Folders has the ability to sync your data with other B-Folder apps on your desktop, laptop, smartphone, and/or tablet. It should be noted, though, while B-Folders is free on Android (smartphone and tablets), it costs $29.95 USD on desktops/laptops.

Hi can somebody tell me if it is actualy encrypted and safe to sync my Pocket app into Drop Box,
the last thing I want ironically is that all my Bank accounts, passwords and numbers to be on public view through Drop Box not familiar how DP works so Im paranoid to sync the app to the Drop Box.
Has any one else done this and as long as I don't put the Secure Wallet folder into the Public folder, nobody can access it right?
pleeeeease help, the owner doesn't reply and don't know who else to ask
I have been using "my password manager" my password manager from past 3 months and its far better than its other alternatives. It has innumerable ways to recover your password, updates dont corrupt my data and i can easily transfer data from one phone to other. Moreover since i am a french it supports french language as well!!!
Petr S
Hi guys,
try as well aWallet
It has category editor, so you are free to customize record types.
Cheers, Petr
Well, one shortcoming is that you are locked to a specific type of record. Only websites, would be nice to also have credit cards and such, not just the url/username/password like combination, but any combination of data would be nice. I thought that the also free app password safe pro was nice, it had the option to make templates for my different data profile needs (credit cards, webserver, etc.). But it can't sort the order of the data fields, so it looks messy.

+1 on KeePass. My PWs are sync'd between my desktop and phone, so I always have what I need with me in a secure format. Great for organizing.
You keep picking the apps I already use, so you must be very good at evaluating apps =)
