Sara Bareilles and Bette Midler at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Bette Midler and Sara Bareilles came together at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony over the weekend to honor the late Laura Nyro.
Midler, who said she started out as a fan of Nyro's before actually meeting her, gave a rousing speech, mentioning that Nyro embodied the spirit of New York City in the '70s, joking that in that era, NYC was even more of a dump than Cleveland. She admired Nyro's uncompromising spirit, noting, "She embodied what everyone in our line of work could be, if they only had the guts," welling up with tears.
Sara took to the stage to play Nyro's "Stoney End," despite rumors that Midler would perform the Nyro song.
Shortly before her performance, Sara tweeted, "Uh. Carole King wished me luck and was talking me down from my nerves. I'm overwhelmed and so grateful to be here. Wow."
Also, it's ironic that last year, during Midler's speech at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's induction ceremony (for Darlene Love), she quipped that she was doing it so that if anyone ever Googled "Bette Midler" and "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" there would actually be a result. Her speeches in the last two years, though, would lead one to expect that she'll keep getting invites: even if it is just as a presenter and not as an inductee.
Laura Nyro, who passed away 15 years ago, was a part of this year's list of inductees that also included Donovan, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, Guns N' Roses and The Faces/Small Faces.

Did you even read the article. There was no drugs found in his system. So how could a drug screening have prevented this incident from occurring.
As to those that thought the Lindon Police Department "knew or should have known". Really how many things do you have in your life that know one else knows? Until its reported, or investigated it is going to be difficult for any agency to know what is occurring in personal lives.

The fact that his wife may have had an affair has nothing to do with this tragedy. She is a victim of a very disturbed man. An affair is not an excuse to commit murder.
It is called a crime of passion. The fact his wife did have an affair is a valid motive that any homicide detective will explore.
And with all the unconstitutional child support laws, he had a motive to oust the kids too.
We really need to abolish all law enforcement and instill a better system.

The pressure in this state to put on a good front that all is well at home is tragic in and of itself. There are some people with some histories that are not a good fit with law enforcement. Some military people who also do some crazy things have his kind of history as well. Some people shouldn't own guns. There needs to be more careful screening of people for law enforcement jobs. It is unfortunate that for whatever reason she felt like she couldn't calmly and quietly taken the kids and left. She would have likely needed to move out of state as he was a cop. Even that may not have save them if he was determined to find him and could easily use his job to do so. It is tragic so many men out there feel they have to wipe out their families because of relationship problems or divorce. It all gets back to power and oontrol issues they need a lot of help with. Some seem to have the perception that their families are their property.

Ruling awaited on mayor date
Last updated at 11:57, Thursday, 05 June 2014
COPELAND Council is yet to receive an answer to its request to delay the elected mayor vote.
By Andrew Clarke
Current legislation means that the historic vote must be held on October 16. However, the council – along with MP Jamie Reed and campaign group Time For Change – have asked the government to delay the vote until next May to tie in with local and general elections, thereby cutting costs.
The council confirmed this week that the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) has acknowledged its request and is considering whether to allow the delay.
A Copeland spokeswoman said that the council will need to learn of DCLG's decision by mid-August, to allow it to prepare for an October election or otherwise.
If DCLG rules that the election must take place in October, the full cost – estimated at £120,000 – will be met by Copeland.
Voters decided in a landslide last month that the elected mayor will be appointed to take the borough's key decision-making power, ousting council leader Elaine Woodburn and her five-member Executive in the process.
As yet, no candidates have put themselves forward publicly, and all the main political parties are about to start the process of selecting a candidate.
To be eligible, a candidate must have a "connection with Copeland" in terms of residency or work, and must not be disqualified, including being employed by the local authority or be politically restricted post in any local authority.
An existing Copeland councillor can stand, but must resign his or her seat if elected. There are no restrictions on parish, town or county councillors standing.
Full eligibility criteria can be found at www.whitehaven-news.co.uk.

"We loved these invitations. The card was nice thick quality but didn't go over the weight to use a normal stamp (Canadian stamp). The picture was excellent quality. The editor did a great job to unify the font (although did make a grammatical error but we caught it on review)."
"Could not be happier with this product or the service I received during the ordering and review process. We added multiple customized features, which were all implemented beautifully. The picture we chose printed clear and consistently."
"LOVED my invitations! I tried not to fall in love with these, the folding and the extra postage just seemed like a hassle. But so worth it. The print quality was awesome. We used a color picture (I think B&W would also be gorgeous) and it turned out great. The design is a little fussy, you will get an email the next day explaining why you did and why they changed it, but it's all for the better! This invite really has the wow factor. And there is so much room for information on the back! I also used the enclosure card and RSVP cards that matched, it was just wonderful overall!"
"I ordered several samples and this one jumped out at me the moment I saw it. I even asked my fiance which one he liked and he chose the same one before I even mentioned how much I liked it! First, the customer service is amazing! I had several questions about the design, wording and layout and everytime I called or reached out via chat everyone was SOOO helpful and patient! The quality of the paper is great and the shimmer look is a must! It just makes everything POP in all the right ways. So elegant! We opted for the folded card because of its uniqueness and everybody has commented on how beautiful the invitations are. The color Amethyst is full of richness, such a pretty color. There was only 1 hiccup and that was the printing of the wording appeared crooked and off centered, but a quick call and a quick second print (free of charge) was completed and we couldn't be happier!"
"The invitation is better than I could've expected! The turnaround for the design drafts and shipping was super quick. I look forward to using Wedding Paper Divas again soon!"

Eureka! It finally works on iPhone 6/iOS8!
After almost 6 months, Runtastic finally updated this heart rate monitor app so it works with the iPhone 6/6+ and iOS8. It even has Apple health kit integration. I've only taken a few measurements but it seems to be working as expected.
My only quibble is that I wish they would make the heartbeat sound optional because I think it unconsciously excites the user, speeds up your heart a bit, and gives a slight measurement error.
It works!!!
Thank you! Could you please make the other runtastic easier to use and understand and be more compatible with other apps on the iPhone like the health app
Great!! Only one thing...
Great app to measure heart beat. Integrated with Health Kit. Only feature it needs now is ability to go back and edit the additional information on the reading...notes, category, etc.

Why are there only happy endings in the movies?
I found that one of the oldest and most unanswered questions in this world is---Is your glass half empty or half full. What do you think???? In the past I have said half empty or at times half full-Depends on where my life was at that time.......But now I see it this way. it not about the level of the liquid in my glass- its all about whats in the glass and who I am sharing that drink with. Its about making sure theres enough for another round and celebrating life, happiness,good company and looking forward to many days of happiness ahead. So its not about half empty or full - yet the company you keep while you are celebrating. Lets celebrate.......... Looking for a partner- an equal.

Bill O'Reilly and Fox News legal analysts Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lis Wiehl dismissed and mischaracterized a lawsuit alleging that a citizenship question on certain Michigan ballot applications illegally burdens the right to vote. But the "citizenship checkbox" may keep citizens from voting, as the state's Republican Governor anticipated when he vetoed an earlier attempt to implement the practice.
The ACLU of Michigan has filed a lawsuit accusing Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson (R) of once again violating state and federal law by including a checkbox to re-determine a voter's citizenship on absentee and election-day ballot applications. Although supporters defend the practice as a means to prevent noncitizens from voting, election experts have pointed out redundant citizenship verification is a solution to an almost non-existent problem, contrary to the claims of Johnson and Fox's Guilfoyle.
O'Reilly characterized the ACLU lawsuit seeking to eliminate the citizenship checkbox as "madness and stupidity," and threatened that if a "crazy judge[]" granted the injunction, he would "put the judge's face on the screen and then send [Fox's Jesse] Watters out to see him." Fox's legal analysts not only agreed with O'Reilly's evaluation of the facts and law, but also his unsupported allegation regarding the motive behind the lawsuit:
What the ACLU wants is they don't want people committing perjury when they register. They do want people voting, who are not American citizens, to advance. They believe that most of those people would vote for the Democratic candidate in Michigan. That's exactly what's going on here.
No one acknowledged the actual arguments behind the lawsuit, namely that including a checkbox for citizenship affirmation on these ballot applications violates state and federal law and suppressed voters in Michigan's most recent primary election. It was this concern that led Governor Rick Snyder (R) to veto the proposed citizenship checkbox law in July. In his veto message, Snyder, a conservative Republican, stated the citizenship question could impermissibly "create voter confusion."
Voting by noncitizens is not a problem nationally or in Michigan. Indeed, according to the authoritative and exhaustive News21 study of thousands of alleged instances of voter fraud in the U.S., voter fraud such as noncitizen voting is "virtually non-existent." With respect to Michigan, an analysis by Wayne State University Law Professor Jocelyn Benson of the Michigan Center for Election Law demonstrates that:
[Secretary of State] Johnson has irresponsibly declared that 4,000 noncitizens vote in Michigan's elections, falsely claiming that the federal government is forcing her employees to register ineligible voters.
Her data is incomplete and unverified. The 4,000 number is no more than a general estimate of how many of Michigan's 7.5 million registered voters are not citizens.
In reality, she claims to have discovered 54 noncitizens who may have voted in Michigan's elections in the past decade, and as many as 900 others who are registered but have not voted. Yet the secretary of state is able to provide details on only two noncitizens who have recently voted. That's a far cry from 4,000.
State efforts, such as Michigan's, duplicate federal law that already prohibits and punishes ineligible voting and place excessive burdens on eligible voters. A recent Advancement Project report indicates that the Latino vote in particular is susceptible to the low turnout caused by redundant citizenship screens. According to the Michigan Election Coalition, this sort of unconstitutional burden was precisely what occurred during the 2012 Michigan primary election when poll workers across the state gave contradictory and erroneous instructions to eligible voters about the voluntary nature of the checkbox. It was this inconsistent treatment of voters across the state that led the ACLU to challenge the checkbox as a violation of the federal equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution, not the due process clause as Fox's Wiehl incorrectly stated.
Furthermore, Johnson may not even have the power to place the citizenship question on the ballot. The state legislature originally tried to pass the election change in a bill, and Michigan law does not appear to allow the Secretary to unilaterally adopt this failed legislation. Even if it did, there does not appear any justification for the Secretary to then ignore the standard administrative notice and comment procedure behind the introduction of new state rules. Finally, the Secretary appears to have passed an election practice change statewide, despite the fact that the federal Voting Rights Act -- in order to prevent illegal racial or national origin discrimination -- requires certain townships in Michigan to pre-clear any such changes with the U.S. Department of Justice before they are put into effect.

Right-wing media are acting as de facto political advisers for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, offering the candidate an array of advice that includes replacing his staffers, finding "his inner pit bull," and talking more about his faith.
Fox News' The Five went to bat for Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan by defending his controversial and harmful proposed changes to Medicare while reviving the myth that Obama's health care law will create a review board to ration health care.
Fox has engaged in a relentless and bogus effort to accuse President Obama of waging a "war on religion." That effort has become a central focus of the Romney campaign, which released an ad that adopts Fox's dishonest "war on religion" narrative.

Fox News has spent years complaining that roughly half of all Americans "don't pay taxes" and calling for tax hikes on working Americans. Now Fox is decrying the insurance mandate in the Affordable Care Act as a tax hike on the middle class -- even though it will affect only a small amount of people.
According to Fox's Kimberly Guilfoyle, the wearing of berets is "very Frenchy." Neither Guilfoyle nor any of her fellow The Five co-hosts indicated whether they think American military uniforms are also "very Frenchy."
Despite corrections to Fox & Friends by Media Matters, media outlets, and Fox's own audience, The Five picked up Fox & Friends' recent beret error by mocking the decision to top off the United States Olympic team uniform with a "French beret." Fox & Friends did acknowledge that most of the United States military wear berets, after receiving emails from their audience correction the error.
On Wednesday's edition of NBC's Today, American company Ralph Lauren unveiled the design for the U.S. Olympic team opening ceremony uniforms, which include a navy blue beret with red and white stripes. Fox & Friends mocked the decision to top off the uniform with a "French" hat.
As Media Matters noted at the time, berets have been in use by the U.S. military "unofficially as early as 1954," and as part of the official uniform as early as 1961. Moreover, the 2002 Olympic uniforms for the Salt Lake City Olympics also included berets.
Nonetheless, Fox News' The Five contributed its own mockery of the uniforms tonight.
Discussing the uniforms, Dana Perino asked fellow co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle: "A beret? Do you like the beret look?" Guilfoyle responded, "It's very Frenchy. I'm not too sure about that. I've been known to sport a beret every once in a while, but I don't know if it's in keep with kind of the Olympic tradition and some of the uniforms we've had in the past."
Moments later, co-host Bob Beckel said, "Why we'd ever look anything like the French, I have no idea. They're lousy athletes and their clothes are lousy."
Neither Guilfoyle nor Beckel mentioned that the United States military wear berets as part of their uniforms.

Jörg Niehoff EYE Opener Application Engineer for Paper Machines – what's that? Hi, I am Jan Lepper, working as an application engineer (surprise, surprise) at Voith Paper (Machine supplier) in Southern Germany. During the last EYE Conference in Strasbourg, I was elected into the EYE Taskforce Team, and so I decided to share with you a bit of my background. For the job of the application engineer, please imagine the following: You are a proud owner of a paper production plant, yearly producing 100.000 tons of copy paper. This is a 24 hours, seven days a week, process. The paper is produced at a speed of 800 meter/minute on rolls. You are lucky, since the demand for your paper is higher than your output. So you decide to upgrade your paper machine and get in contact with Voith Paper.

A low wing loading is essential to obtain a stable kite. With increasing altitude, the length of the hanging cable increases as well. This will introduce an ever increasing load on the kite during ascension. Pressure drag, friction and gravitational forces on the cable ensure that the cable will arc from the ground to the kite. An altitude of 10km for the kite will entail a total cable length of 20km, hanging freely in the air. The weather is of extreme importance during a record attempt.

DEFINITION of 'Closing Costs'
The expenses, over and above the price of the property that buyers and sellers normally incur to complete a real estate transaction. Costs incurred include loan origination fees, discount points, appraisal fees, title searches, title insurance, surveys, taxes, deed-recording fees and credit report charges.
Also known as "settlement costs."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Closing Costs'
Closing costs are separated into two categories: nonrecurring closing costs and prepaid costs. Nonrecurring costs are one-time costs associated with buying a property or obtaining a loan. Prepaid costs are those that recur over time, such as property taxes and homeowners' insurance. These costs are estimated by the lender on what is called a "good-faith estimate", which the lender must issue to the borrower within three days of a home loan application.

Bleach is as follows
Potassium Ferri- 32grams
Postasium Bromide - 32 grams
12 litres of water.
I will use this basic starting point- for Ilford Warmtone anywhere from 5 seconds to 1minute depending on the look I want.
Sodium Sulphide- 32 grams
12 litres of water
Immerse the print into the sulphide(stinky stuff) for 30secs to 1 minute.
Thanks to Bill Schwab on this one.... if the tone is not to my liking I will re bleach and build up the brown tone. I watched Bill doing this after a long day in my darkroom, making some murals. I thought he was crazy but once started is an amazing way of building up sepia tone to exactly where you want to be.
If I want a duo tone then I will mix up the Selenium.
I use: Selenium 1 : 5 and I will vary the papers to suit my desired look. I stopped using a weak dilution of 1:20 twenty years ago, as you can tell by this thread, I like working fast.
MAS - is Michael A Smith who wrote a nice article in the 90's about outflanking when printing, which is a method I was taught and I believe most professional printers use.
Cold tone papers generally require more bleach to get my look. I prefer cold tone papers for this particular look. (for Russell Monk series we used Ilford Warmtone,my favourite paper The bleach time was 5 seconds no more and the prints started to get too warm.
I only go full on sepia for one current client and I am not a really big fan of a full sepia toned print, I prefer a split where the highlights tone yellow and the shadows that tone cooler.
I always give a 20 minute soak in water after sepia toning before I go into the selenium or other toners.
It appears some of us here like to sepia first then selenium(me) and others prefer to selenium first.
I will never bleach and then selenium without fixing and washing the print between the steps, and I cannot explain the theory behind this.

October 23, 2012 — The TechAmerica Foundation recently released its much anticipated report "Demystifying Big Data: A Practical Guide to Transforming the Business of Government." The report was issued by the TechAmerica Foundation Big Data Commission, comprised of appointed members from academia and industry. The commissioners were charged with defining Big Data as well as providing policy guidance to the federal government on implementing and best utilizing Big Data to meet the mission.
The report delivers a comprehensive road map to the federal government on how to best use Big Data to better serve the public. It defines key terms, explains the underlying technology in simple terminology and identifies best practices and lessons learned from early Big Data implementation efforts. The report also offers a set of policy recommendations and practical steps agencies can take to get started on Big Data initiatives.
This week on Federal Tech Talk, GTSI's Prem Jadhwani, senior technologist and solutions architect, and Darren House, a data center technologist, served as Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner respectively, and will provide insights on the results issued by the Commission.

Have you been paying attention to the big stories in technology this year? Test yourself with our festive quiz
The good news: Dell is trying an Atom-powered netbook with a 12.1 inch screen, starting in Japan. The bad news: it's running Vista in 1GB of RAM
Is there something in the economic weather? Hmmm... I think perhaps there is
Jack Schofield: Despite quite a few compromises, HP's Mini-Note is the best of the bunch of ultraportables
Netbytes: What do Starbucks patrons really want? The global coffee chain has given them somewhere to put their suggestions, says Jack Schofield

Why Apple's secretive approach is so effectiveCharles Arthur
Charles Arthur: It turns out that there may be very deep reasons why Apple's secretive approach entices us so, and Microsoft's doesn't
Inside IT Look east for the new rulers of the PC marketJack Schofield
Jack Schofield: More than half the population in Japan does email and browsing on mobile phones
The computer maker Dell is knocking between $50m (£25m)and $150m off its previously reported profits after discovering that staff were massaging figures to meet financial targets.
Dell hopes that people will pay another £1 for a notebook or £3 more for a desktop machine to part-fund the planting of trees to offset the CO2 generated by the electricity needed to power them over three years. Charles Arthur reports.
Dell to sell machines for £350 at Wal-Mart in US
Dell's latest launch has really taken off, writes Jack Schofield. Unfortunately for Dell's crumbling profitability, it's a website called IdeaStorm, not a new PC.
John Naughton: Dell's attempt to harness the collective intelligence of its customers, IdeaStorm, has thrown up some surprising results.
The founder of the troubled Dell computer company, Michael Dell, took back day-to-day control of the American manufacturer last night following the abrupt resignation of its chief executive, Kevin Rollins.
Inside IT How HP has overtaken the bigger boys of computingJack Schofield
Jack Schofield: Dell may be losing its grip on the personal computer market, and Hewlett-Packard is taking over. What's even more surprising is that HP is now the world's largest IT company.
Perhaps, but only if your laptop comes from Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, Fujitsu or Apple. Which covers almost all the main portable manufacturers except HP and, oddly, Sony.
The decision to stop selling the player may be the final indication that the economies and tactics of the PC market really don't work in the consumer electronics space.
Profile: Kevin Rollins is the violin-playing, alpine-skiing and motorcycling chief executive of Dell - a man who will apparently not rest until there is a PC in every home on the planet.
Dell, the world's largest personal computer maker, posted a higher quarterly profit, in contrast to a profit warning from its rival Hewlett-Packard issued hours earlier yesterday.
Forget about $1,800-a-day consultants. Dell is pioneering a new approach, where computer services will be straightforward and clearly defined. Jack Schofield reports.
Inside IT Dell backs away from market standardsJack Schofield
Dell is aiming to sell a lot of printers at low prices, making life hard for Hewlett-Packard, says Jack Schofield.
One of the world's largest computer manufacturers, Dell, has stopped producing desktop PCs and laptops pre-installed with alternative operating system Linux, leaving fans of the open source system wondering if anyone can challenge the supremacy of Windows.
Perplexed by your PC? Enjoy it while you canJohn Naughton
What does the slowdown in PC sales mean? To the big computer manufacturers - Compaq, Gateway, IBM, Dell - it's just an unwelcome blip on a rising trend, a regrettable intrusion of old economy business cycles into their brave new world.

I have to say first that this review is based on one visit only and does not reflect the whole menu. My wife and I stopped on a Tuesday evening when we were very hungry and both ordered a California Burger with seasoned fries and a Pepsi. We visited based on Guy Fieri's reputation. The burger met our expectations and more -- delicious, juicy and full of flavor. Also big. The fries were nice and crisp, not too thick and not too thin. Our server was outstanding -- fast, helpful and cheerful. We also found the place clean, even the restrooms, contrary to the reports of other reviewers. The restaurant was a bit noisy and I don't know about the quality and value of some of the pricier items, of which there are many.

We've been at it for almost 10 years, and grow about 10 acres of vegetables every season. We're absurdly tiny compared to most conventional vegetable farms, but we don't plan to get any bigger, because we're doing just fine. Our farm is debt-free, profitable and employs both of us full-time. And we're far from alone.
If you look at Calgary and Edmonton, their skylines full of construction cranes, developers must do more than 'aim for height'. As the old adage goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day". Developers must be creative and work closely with architects to foster the development of robust communities that reflect cohesive design, and feature functional buildings that people want to live in.
There are far too many people, who are so far removed from what they eat that they don't understand what they are doing to their bodies. Our farming practices have become big business, and the little farms need to come back to the spotlight. It's not all doom and gloom, but we need a few tweaks on some things. Here are my big thoughts.
Farmers are committing suicide as you read this article. In countries like India, the rate of farmer suicides has become a national crisis. The World Health Organization (WHO) is particularly concerned with farmer suicides because of the impact it is having on families. WHO estimates that one person commits suicide every 13.3 minutes.
Oh Canada! While we may be known for some of our more decadent fare, like poutine and butter tarts, we are actually home to some of the world's greatest superfoods that can help keep up healthy all summer long! So even if this weekend may be more about BBQ and dockside beers, try including some of these healthy eats.
I avoid GMOs and those who promote and serve GMOs. There is no way that I knowingly want to put those ingredients into my body, my friends or family's bodies, and I certainly do not want to support Monsanto. I trace my food back to where it came from. This makes me feel good, and also makes me feel confident in all other principles I have listed as above.
I'm deeply disappointed by the news that Heinz is closing its Leamington processing plant. For over 100 years that plant made ketchup from tomatoes grown on Ontario farms. Support for local food processing is not only about securing jobs, it's also about investing in the economy we want. The Liberal government must take action to support our food processing sector.
At Savour Stratford this year, I was tasting different types of food from local chefs and producers and I noticed something. Each and every dish had its own unique flavour thanks to a homemade element. It was nice to know that I could pronounce all the ingredients going into my body and know where they came from.
I love farmer's markets. I love the atmosphere they create; all the produce and hand-made goods lined up on tables in wooded or cardboard baskets. Everyone attending can take in what real food looks, feels, and smells like (from our own backyards!). It reminds me of a simpler time when it was expected of us to grow and create the things we need for our daily lives.
Sustainable seasonal and regional cuisine is the focus, and this Ottawa restaurant's gardens provide the kitchen with the freshest of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. I recently nabbed a few moments of top chef Charlie Part's time to learn more about how he got started and what drives his pursuit of local excellence.
It's amazing to me that people argue organic vs. local when it comes to their food. Is organic only for those who don't want toxins in their bodies, and local is reserved only for environmentalists who weigh their food miles? It's actually best that we all strive to be eating local AND organic food. Our grandparents ate "organically" and locally.
With the current economic state in Ontario, many individuals are struggling to put meals on the table each and every day. Prices are rising across the board for food staples, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find accessible, affordable, and nutritious food. Since being re-introduced to legislature, the Local Food Act has passed its first reading.
