Security is a top priority for Google. We've invested a lot in making our products secure, including strong SSL encryption by default for Search, Gmail and Drive, as well as encrypting data moving between our data centers. Beyond securing our own products, interested Googlers also spend some of their time on research that makes the Internet safer, leading to the discovery of bugs like Heartbleed.
The success of that part-time research has led us to create a new, well-staffed team called Project Zero.
You should be able to use the web without fear that a criminal or state-sponsored actor is exploiting software bugs to infect your computer, steal secrets or monitor your communications. Yet in sophisticated attacks, we see the use of "zero-day" vulnerabilities to target, for example, human rights activists or to conduct industrial espionage. This needs to stop. We think more can be done to tackle this problem.
Project Zero is our contribution, to start the ball rolling. Our objective is to significantly reduce the number of people harmed by targeted attacks. We're hiring the best practically-minded security researchers and contributing 100% of their time toward improving security across the Internet.
We're not placing any particular bounds on this project and will work to improve the security of any software depended upon by large numbers of people, paying careful attention to the techniques, targets and motivations of attackers. We'll use standard approaches such as locating and reporting large numbers of vulnerabilities. In addition, we'll be conducting new research into mitigations, exploitation, program analysis—and anything else that our researchers decide is a worthwhile investment.
We commit to doing our work transparently. Every bug we discover will be filed in an external database. We will only report bugs to the software's vendor—and no third parties. Once the bug report becomes public (typically once a patch is available), you'll be able to monitor vendor time-to-fix performance, see any discussion about exploitability, and view historical exploits and crash traces. We also commit to sending bug reports to vendors in as close to real-time as possible, and to working with them to get fixes to users in a reasonable time.

37 year old man | Rutherford, NJ, USA | Seeking women 18-42 within 25 miles
Be excellent to each other.
Hello, is it me you're looking for? First off, let me apologize for quoting Lionel Ritchie just then. That's an awful way to start any kind of relationship. I'm a journalist and a New Jersey native who recently returned to my home state for a job in NYC that I really like. I spent the past seven years in Florida, where I was looking after my mom. I have two sweet cats, and we just moved into an apartment in Rutherford. My hobbies: Riding my motorcycle, lifting weights, playing basketball, watching movies, keeping up with news and current events big time. I'd like to meet someone who has similar hobbies or could introduce me to her interesting pastimes. Though I'm from northern New Jersey, I don't really know many people in this immediate area and would like to meet people. Some of my better qualities: Very funny, though in a way that can be viewed either as brash and inappropriate or creative and uninhibited, depending on how cool you are; very loyal, reliable, sweet, caring, hardworking and cool. Some of my faults: A bit impatient and stubborn. Physically, I'm strong and imposing, someone with whom you'd definitely feel comfortable walking on any street in America.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Bowling, Football, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats, Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc.
I like Birds, Dogs, Fish, Horses
I have two cats named Ren and Snoop, the latter named after the very excellent character from "The Wire."
Very Liberal
I'm still learning about Rutherford, and I spend a lot of time in Midtown.
I love pizza and almost all Italian food. Both my car and my bike are navy blue. I think The Wire is the best fictional show in TV history, so intelligent and bold. And, being a journalist, I think 60 Minutes is the greatest.
I'm really into riding my motorcycle, weightlifting, taking long walks, cooking for that special someone, playing basketball, watching movies, the HBO series, sports and politics. I'm not much of a bar person, but I don't mind it on occasion.
I mainly read news web sites like Huffington Post, MSNBC.com and Slate.

Sorry, but the community site makes this tricky. If we would only change your name here on the forums, the community site would be completely broken for you. I know how to fix that, but if I change one name I will have to change more, and I don't really have time for that. I can probably make an exception if you make a donation though

What does Occupy Wall Street mean to you? Do you have a story about something you saw at a protest? Thoughts, opinions, experience?
Submit to the Occupy Wall Street Zine!
Check out this blog post about zines on Black Pineapple, Adee Roberson's blog!
Drawing on the inspiration of doing the Meet Me at the Race Riot zine event, I decided to teach everyone in the world how to make a micro-mini zine - otherwise known as a 16-page mini booklet made out of one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Enjoy!

For the second issue of our zine, we're looking for personal stories, artwork and/or photographs that center around physically, emotionally, psychologically or otherwise awkward sexual experiences.
Get ready for the grand opening of PEOPS, a gallery show featuring "a collection of portraits & stories of people by Fly.

Joining the TASUED debate
Today, the raging issue in Ogun State is the desirability or otherwise of the decision of the Ibikunle Amosun administration to rationalise the number of state-owned higher institutions for the purposes of effective deployment of scarce resources and to shift emphasis of the state education policy from quantity to quality. There have been many opinions expressed on the issue on the pages of newspapers, through television and radio programmes, on the internet and other fora.
Some of the opinions have been based on sentiments. Some others expressed genuine concern for the numerous Nigerian students who troop into Ogun State every year to seek admission into the many tertiary institutions in the state while some other opinions are mere samples of political manipulation aimed at creating distraction for the state government.
For some of us, in and outside the government, the debate signifies a good turn of events in our state. It means the culture of suppression, silence and impunity which had been imposed in our state before now has been dismantled. The people of Ogun State have regained their natural assertiveness, power of articulation and predilection for healthy exchanges. We are indeed happy that those who imposed the repulsive and repressive regime of silence are now benefitting from the liberalised environment. Their voices seem to be the loudest in the TASUED debate.
However, beyond the cacophony of voices, the decision of the Ogun State government to reduce its 10 tertiary institutions to six can be better appreciated in the context of the administration's overall education programme. The Amosun administration's education policy is hinged on affordable qualitative education. The programme was given full expression when the administration abolished all forms of fees in its primary and secondary schools and commenced rehabilitation of blocks of classrooms in secondary schools to correct the general decay in the education infrastructure. A hundred of such abandoned classroom buildings in 100 schools were totally rehabilitated in the first 100 days of the administration. Similar treatment will soon be extended to 200 others.
Twenty-six model schools are to be built across the local government areas to accommodate students displaced by the arbitrary return of schools to missionaries. The government has devoted 22 percent of its 2012 budget to education, the closest to the UNESCO recommended 26 percent while it ended the era of seizure of WAEC results of students in Ogun State because government now pays the examination fees as at when due.
The government now regularly provides running cost for all primary and secondary schools, thereby ending frequent imposition of levies by headmasters and principals. We have supplied instructional materials which included notebooks, writing materials and mathematical sets to all pupils and students in primary and secondary schools. More importantly, the government re-enacted the free textbook programme last enjoyed in Ogun State under the Onabanjo administration between 1981 and 1983. All primary and secondary school pupils and students are provided free textbooks in all core subjects which they can take home and return at the end of the session.
Having given good attention to the primary and secondary sections of the education sector and determined to continue to do so, the focus now shifted to the tertiary section. Visitation and Fact-finding panels were set up. Consultations were made through meetings with critical stakeholders like lecturers, non-teaching staff, students and parents. From the reports of the panels, it is obvious the institutions are not adequately funded, equipped and provided for. The 10 tertiary institutions are therefore sub-standard institutions, or in some instances, glorified secondary schools.
From the reports of these panels, it was obvious that government over the years had shirked its responsibilities. That was why the debate of the report of the panels by the State Executive Council led to the question of whether we need so many higher institutions in Ogun State. Another panel was set up to answer the question. That panel recommended this rationalisation policy.
While the rationalization policy as it affects the ICT Polytechnics has been smooth, the TASUED case has generated controversy. There have been different motives for different groups to join the fray. While the apprehension of the students over their future is understandable, the government has continued to engage them for the purpose of explaining the emerging issues. After all, it is true that the students will not lose anything.
Almost all our tertiary institutions in Ogun State are sick. They are also grossly underfunded. Their total monthly subvention is not up to what either Lagos State University (LASU) or Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) gets. For example, while all our 10 higher institutions get a total of N340, 019, 508 monthly, LASU alone gets N302, 000 million salary subvention while the Lagos State government funds many of the on-going capital projects in the institution's campuses.
Lagos State with about 1,500 percent more monthly revenue than Ogun has only one university in addition to four other tertiary institutions. That means Lagos State has just 50 percent of the number of higher institutions that we have in Ogun State, a case of the rich dad with a small family compared to a poor dad with numerous children.
Ogun State has the highest number of state owned higher institutions, perhaps in Nigeria. While Oyo and Ekiti have four each, Osun, like Lagos, has five, Ondo, an oil producing state, has three. Edo has two. It is a known fact that Ekiti and Osun have commenced a process of rationalsation. Ekiti is now merging its three universities to become one.
In Ogun, we have four other federal government-owned higher institutions with eight privately-owned ones. Just two weeks ago, the Federal Government again approved the licences of two private universities to be located in Ogun State.
It bothers me when people who are members of the elite argue that TASUED which does not have viable consultancy and thriving business arms like University of Lagos is self-sufficient. Even UNILAG still depends on the federal government for payment of staff salaries and other expenses. TASUED generates whatever funds that are ascribed to it by indiscriminately admitting students, whether qualified or not. The interest is not in the academic development of the students but in the school fees they will pay. That was why the authorities of the institution borrowed N500 million from a bank, using the anticipated school fees as collateral. Apart from this N500m loan, TASUED has other pending loans. That is why its student population is almost more than that of OOU.
Again, what quality of facilities is being provided by the donors? Do they include the type that should enable TASUED to run courses like mass communication, petroleum and chemical sciences, transport management, tourism development, business administration, accountancy and many other non-education courses which this University of Education now offers to thousands of students? It should interest all of us that contrary to Statute 13 of the enabling law of this university and the founding objective of TASUED which is to produce teachers for our secondary schools, approximately 31% of the courses in that school are non-education courses and will not deliver the type of teachers that the state needs. We are waiting to be told whether mass communication is a secondary school subject. We need to be told if secondary schools now offer subjects in transport management or tourism or petroleum and chemical sciences.
The population of students running part-time programmes in TASUED stands at almost 50% of the total university population which exceeds the maximum of 25% recommended by the National Universities Commission (NUC).
In taking the decision on how best to reduce the number of our higher institutions, we based our judgment on merit. OOU is a 30 year-old multi-disciplinary institution. TASUED is a uni-disciplinary institution. Having decided that we can only cater for one university, we chose the former over the latter because what TASUED was established to achieve, a better funded, equipped and administered OOU can achieve it through its Faculty of Education.
For those who argue that the rationalisation will deny more students some admission slots, our answer is that we are already reforming our primary and secondary schools so much that their products will perform so well in both WASCE and JAMB examinations that they will easily secure admissions into any university of their choice. We do not want to continue to sustain institutions which merely exist to admit students for the purpose of generating funds.

The respondents to the survey indicated that over 75 percent of the patients in their practices were children or adolescents and they saw an average of 70 children per month, the majority of whom were age 6 or older. The percentage of patients who were identified with insomnia was substantial and also increased with age. Overall, the results suggest that among children receiving psychiatric care, more than 20 percent of preschoolers and almost one-third of school-aged children and adolescents are affected by insomnia.
The researchers report that past studies have found that behavioral treatments such as relaxation techniques, sleep restriction and cognitive behavioral therapy are effective for childhood insomnia, and multiple studies conducted in the United States and abroad indicate that sleep disturbances are one of the primary indications for psychotropic medication in children. This is true despite the fact that little data exists about the safety and effectiveness of pharmacotherapy for the treatment of insomnia and other sleep disturbances in children and adolescents. In addition, there are currently no medications specifically approved for use as hypnotics in children under the age of 18. Lead author Owens says, "Yet treatment of insomnia symptoms with both over-the-counter and prescription medication is a common clinical practice, particularly for children and adolescents with special needs and co-morbid psychiatric disorders."
The authors point out that virtually all psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders in children including depression, ADHD and autism spectrum disorders can be associated with delayed sleep onset and sleep disruption and, as a result, with significant daytime sle

DEAR TOM AND RAY: I bought my used 2000 Nissan Xterra almost three years ago. Every once in a while it did this weird thing where all the dashboard functions froze. The tachometer, speedometer, temperature gauge, fuel gauge and digital odometer all stopped working. The odometer would, at first, be random nonsense. Then it would gradually fade away. It seemed to be happening when the car got hot, so I used my windshield cover and parked it in the shade most of the time, and it stopped happening.

An April 1999 invoice lists a "2nd installment" of $175,000.
In one case, money was paid in cash to a contractor who used a fictitious company name on the invoice.
"We were told to submit our first invoice after the first week and then every two weeks after that," says Vrondran.
1550s, apparently from Middle French envois, plural of envoi "dispatch (of goods)," literally "a sending," from envoyer "to send" (see envoy). As a verb, 1690s, from the noun.

I worked at Definity Partners full-time (More than 5 years)
I had exposure across many industries with different project themes that truly taught me more than I could have learned anywhere else. Working with the best of the best - the folks you work with here are all top notch. Lastly, autonomy to do your job and develop relationships with clients that last a life time.
When I started we were a local based company, but through the years business expanded so travel expanded. There was not a lot of room for upward mobility because they are a smaller company.

Continue to involve everyone it is what keeps your culture great!

I ordered one in silver, just to have something to add up to the collection of my long necklaces. I like the length ,looks great on my sweater dresses, but disappointed with a cheap looking chain and tassel. I bought great pieces of costume jewellery in the past, mainly from Joan Rivers collection and this does not compare to it. Maybe gold tone looks different ????
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I propose that we link to one or two of our current favourite colour photographs by APUG members, and say a few words about it.
Oh, alright, I'd be happy to begin! :rolleyes:
This was posted by member "stevewillard" in March 2008:
This image was one that really sold me on colour 4x10 and motivated my current explorations. The unusual aspect ratio, the intense (but credible) orange and green colours and the epic composition made this, instantly, one of my APUG favourites. I had some more things to say in the thread under the post.
I love anything by Gene Laughter. Unique, mystic, mythical.
Oh yes, I remember that one!
Great idea! Here are two of my faves.
Wally Hampton I have a thing for a well done Polaroid prints.
The print of the beach scene sings like a impressions painting.
I have to say that Gene Laughter is one of the best creative photographers on APUG.
This image is one of my favorites The image of the farm and the one of the truck and I know that he has several other like it.

text: Samsung Galaxy S II Variant Confirmed for Verizon Jacob Cunningham 8 June, 2011 5 Comments In the way fo the original Galaxy S phones the Galaxy S II is said to be visiting multiple US carriers as well. An article posted on Engadget early last month gave us a glimpse at the new names these phones would be carrying but so far no news has been mentioned by the carriers themselves. One of our sources gave us inside information regarding the Sprint variant or Samsung Within, but what of the Function and Attain. Can't say much for the Attain but the Samsung Function is finally making a footprint as a Verizon spokeswoman responded via email that this device was to be expected in July although there's "no date just yet." This information lines up with the information we received regarding the launch of the Sprint version as well as the rumors about the Galaxy S II US launch. Is this phone going to come in time to be a major competitor when so many big devices are slated for release by the end of this month and into early July?

YIELD: Serves 6
Make semifreddo:
Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water.
Beat together yolks, sugar, and 1/3 cup grappa with an electric mixer in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water 10 minutes, or until thick and pale and mixture registers 170°F on an instant-read thermometer. Put bowl in ice bath and beat mixture until cold.
Beat whites with a pinch of salt in another bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold stiff peaks. Beat cream in a separate bowl until it holds soft peaks. Whisk one third of whites into yolk mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites and then cream, gently but thoroughly.
Spoon into molds and freeze, covered with plastic wrap, until firm, about 2 hours.
Make espresso sauce while semifreddo is freezing:
Cook sugar in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork, until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel without stirring, swirling pan, until deep golden. Remove from heat.
Stir together boiling water, espresso powder, and lemon juice. Carefully add to caramel (mixture will bubble up and vigorously steam), then cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is smooth.
Unmold semifreddo:
3Dip molds in hot water 5 seconds, then run a small thin knife around edges and invert onto plates. Spoon a teaspoon of chilled grappa on top of each and drizzle plates with warm or room-temperature espresso sauce.
Cooks' notes: If egg safety is a problem in your area, you may want to use pasteurized egg whites in the carton for the semifreddo. Semifreddo may be made 1 week ahead and kept frozen. Let soften 30 minutes in refrigerator before unmolding. You can make espresso sauce 3 days ahead and chill, covered. Reheat to warm before serving.

Well here it is, Fun with Explosives. I hadn't really worked on it in a long time because I wasbusy with school stuff. I know it doesn't make the most scense, but who doesn't love random destruction? I know the lag is still pretty bad in some spots. I did all I could to help that, but I can't do a lot about it until I get that new video card in a few weeks here. Oh, and does anyone else hate how Gamespot's video player makes it sound like you're listening to the video inside a metal bucket?

January 2nd 2012 last day in Panama!
We had to meet the other riders near the airport for the ride out to Carti to load the bikes. Both James and I had reservations from our bikes but we could not take the boat, but booked a flight to Cartagena to meet the bikes.
We met up with 5 other bikers. Two from Germany. tony the father, Pablo his son. Then Duncan from Seattle, Mark from Olympia both on KLR's and then Jay from SF on his 650GS.
Rolled to out the road toward Carti. Was a winding road with tons of very steep hills.
Had to pay $9.00 to ride through the Kuni area to get to Carti.
Beautiful ride.
But of course you always have to be aware of the road hazard, like this wash out that was barely marked.
Rode down into Carti which is just a little concrete pier that people catch small boats out to the island on. But we spoted the Stahlratte just off the pier.
Then we rode out through all the people to the end of the pier. Took our bags and gear off and loaded it into the Zodiac for transport out to the Stahlratte.
Mark started up a conversation with some Panamians who were out to Party in the islands....
Ludwig the German Captain then moved the boat bow into the shore for loading.....
It is by far the biggest boat to make the passage to Columbia with Bikes for Columbia.
ready for the next step.
We were all sort of finding out the system of how they load the bikes.... all a bit nervous to have our bikes hoisted aboard.
James's R1200GS was first as we all watched.....
Then my 800GS.
Others onboard also watched.....
The young German guy was really funny....
His dad just could not watch
All loaded up and we took the Zodiac out to board the ship. we needed to get paperwork done, paid before we headed back to Panama City.
Ludwig the captain of the boat.
All our gear on the boat.
Bikes on Deck waiting to be lashed down.
All sorted out and tied down. They will cover them before they head out.
Met with the captain and got all paid up. $450 for the shipping of the bikes.
We headed out to the San Blas islands.... Had a great lunch on board.
Locals coming aboard to talk to Ludwig...... and Ronnie
This big boat was moored right next to us.......
Locals coming aboard to sell stuff to people onboard, and charge there cel phone
Leaving in the carved out wooden canoe.
Finally we headed out in a small boat back to shore to get a jeep back to Panama City. Was a bit of a long wait as Ludwig had "arranged" the transport.
We take the boat up a river to a "pier" which was just a dirt clearing and off the boat we got. There were some jeeps loaded, but no one seemed to know if more Jeeps were coming or ? it was about 4:30. The bugs were biting and we did not want to be stuck here.....
These guys were all talking away. We ended up in a jeep that should hold 6 but we had 7 .... it was cramped but we did not want to get out.... with no alternative transport for the 2-3 hour drive back to Panama City.
It was a long drive back.... You can see James is not real happy :)
The steep roads also had some washout areas....
You can see I am hanging on as we made our way back out to the main road.
Some great views but a much better road while riding my bike
Was dark when we got back to Panama City. We had dinner again with Frank and Petra! it was great meeting both of you. Hope we see you again!!

Mark, watch out for blood clots or DVT with your knee problem. With the swelling and injury, combined with the riding and the fixed position of your leg (bent), it is easy to get clots behind your knee or in the lower leg. My son just had minor arthroscopic surgery, and he now has a 6-month battle with DVT on the horizon.

Glad you are making progress. Take care of that knee - at the least, maybe get some x-rays done. In Latin America this is easy and more than likely the radiography places have people that speak English. There... often you don't need a prescription. Looks like you have been mobile, so its probably soft tissue if anything long lasting. We cross our fingers that it is not.
Keep an eye on redness and hot feeling in the area. Seek attention if this happens. Dont wait (Clot related)

Enjoying your report. After viewing your Panama Canal pics this morning, I picked up today's business section of the Oregonian and there was an article about the widening of the Panama Canal-how ironic. The article mentioned that the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach could lose a huge share of their cargo business when the expansion is completed in 2014 because the biggest ships that can squeeze through the canal now carry 4,400 to 5,000 containers. A wider canal would accommodate 12,600 container vessels and bypass California.

December 3rd Panama City to Cartagena, Columbia
Last day in Central America and then a 1 hour flight to Cartagena. Feels really weird not to be on my bike but to be flying to Cartagena. But could not get on the Stahlratte Boat as they had 24 passengers booked.
Had a small backpack to carry on the plane..... As I went through security, they ran my bag through the scanner. OK. Can they look closer.... Sure. Came back and still something was bothering them. I started pulling out stuff from my bag.... No that is OK. Run it again. She spoke no english but said Yaven 12? Yaven 12. Got out an electronic dictionary....? have no idea. after some digging ..... I had left a small 12MM open end wrench in a small inside pocket of the bag They could read the 12. For some reason I could not take this on the plane. Lost my wrench
Got to the airport at about 9:30 Am.This security dog was funny ......
James from the UK and I were the only two motorbike riders who had to fly. But actually in talking to many people the crossing can be really rough this time of year..... We might be really glad we flew
It was so easy and comfortable to get on the plane, and get through customs compared to the central American border crossings..
Without the bike, carried just a few items .... Traveling light. Caught a cab to the old city and a run down hostel.
My knee had really been bothering me for the past 10-12 days. Not while riding, but while walking. So Frank and Petra had told me about the Hospital in Cartagena that he had to go to for stomach issues. Decided I should go talk to a doctor ...
Started at the Hospital. had to fill out the forms and put a deposit of 150,000 Pesos (about ($78.00) for the visit.
Had to wait about 30 minutes and a young doctor spoke english, looked at the knee and said I really need an Orthopedic doctor. I knew that but had to start somewhere. He told me there is a medical offices right around the corner. Great! He did not charge me anything for the visit as he did not do anything. After I said who was the best Orthopedic doctor, he said DR. Haydar.
I hobble over to the office building, and find Dr Haydars office. It was packed. I spoke with the receptionist and said I needed an appointment for my sore knee (all in my broken spanish). She said come back at 6 PM.
Took a cab back to the Hostel and the taxi driver owned a harley. In spanish we had a great conversation about my ride and my knee. He told me doctor Haydar was the best!. A bit worried about what the outcome of the doctor visit will be....what if I need surgery, how, where, when etc....
Back at 6PM, still people waiting but after an hour, I get to see the doctor. Really nice guy. Looks at my knee, probes a bit, then gets to the sore part. Looks like it is the Medial Collateral Ligament that is very sore. He speaks some english, so we talk in english and spanish, and he says I need to stay off it for 5-10 days and use IBprofin, ice, and brace (all of which I have been doing except lots of ice as it is sometimes hard to get). No MRI yet. If it is still hurting in 5-10 days he will do an MRI.
The hostel was a bit of a bad place to be stuck hanging out. We decided to find another place. Used Lonely planet to seek out other hostels and hotels. Nothing really good and cheap around, so I decided to spend a bit more for a hotel that I could just relax and heal up a bit before the bikes arrive on Friday.
Get to a couple that are all booked up in the El Centro district. but then found one. Had a sitting area that got my knee up.
and then Iced the knee....

January 4th Cartagena, Columbia
So trying to stay off my knee proves a bit difficult as we changed places to stay, and wanted to see some of Cartagena
We moved to the EL Centro area which is much more upscale. was not offered drugs or anything as we walked about
Saw some street dancers....
lots of cool sights with the buildings and the people.
This part of the city was being cleaned all the time.
Lots of hats for sale.
cool beach bike rolled by.
Lots of interesting door knockers.
and lots of street vendors.
Lots to see in Cartagena.... But best way is walking So I did not go far and then rested.
lot of sculptures around.
The old city is a large fortress.
James walking the top.
We had to get something to eat for dinner, so we wandered a bit. This guy came up to us and wanted to sell us a BMW motorcycle that he said a british guy had given to him..... Who knows what the story was on this...
lots of lighted symbols in the parks.... making it festive around town.
Then back to the hotel to continue resting and icing my knee.
I had hurt my knee a couple times in my youth and it has flared up now and again over the past 30 years. This is by far the worst it has ever gotten. Everything I am reading says to stay off of it and ice it until it heals up. So I will try to take it easy, but it is hard to sit still.

Well although I am young I certainly know my way around knee injuries. (Rugby Player)
If the diagnosis is correct you should be very pleased. The MCL tends to heal up quite quickly and well...but I am told only to 80 percent...I have torn it twice as well as my ACL once...The MCL was nothing comparatively...I would grab a tensor bandage and some ziplocs...even better if you can get one of those blue gel ice packs...Put some paper towel between your leg and the ice/pack and then tensor it on to the MCL side reasonably tight. Leave it elevated and iced for 10 12 mins at a time no longer.
When I played at a high level this is what the professionals did....and trust me it works better. I hope you heal up quick so you can snap some photos.
I have years of experience with bad knees so you can quit talking about that! I need to hear about your life on the road!!!!

Life on the road
I am going on 7 months traveling now and life on the road has been good. As I try to slow down a bit and let my knee heal, I am in a good hotel, with time to read another good book, write a bit more and relax. Not too bad.
Part of long term travel is all the logistics about where you are going next, and how to do it. Takes some time to investigate options and know what the financial consequences will be.
For me, I love wandering around in places that I stop to explore, interact with people, take photos and enjoy. Then getting on my bike and riding a bit more!

Severinsen lights up Christmas in MSO seasonal concert
Nothing ushers in the holiday season quite like Doc Severinsen and 200-or-so instrumentalists and singers raising the roof of Uihlein Hall with seasonal music.
Severinsen, who retired from the Milwaukee Symphony Pops principal pops conductor post in 2007, returned to the MSO podium on Friday with trumpet and flugelhorn in hand. He led a high-energy, festive program of holiday music that meshed classical music with pop, jazz and traditional carols. »Read Full Article(4)
Bright lights outshine Trans-Siberian Orchestra in ho-hum show
Taking on Christmas staples with a blend of symphonic bombast and progressive rock drama, Trans-Siberian Orchestra brought a much needed edge to the pleasant, ho-hum holiday music landscape beginning in 1996 , and in the process TSO has become one of the highest-grossing touring acts in North America.
But right before the start of the first of two TSO shows at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Sunday, there was a curious sound, or really a lack of a sound. Following some meek applause when the lights went dark, the crowd strangely grew quiet, to the point that the only noise was the awkward, quiet hiss of fog machines. »Read Full Article(14)

Press release from Marketwire
McDonald's Celebrates 90 Groundbreaking Advancements in Environmental Practices Around the World
Innovations in Energy Savings, Recycling & Other Environment-Focused Areas
Wednesday, April 18, 2012
McDonald's Celebrates 90 Groundbreaking Advancements in Environmental Practices Around the World11:38 EDT Wednesday, April 18, 2012OAK BROOK, IL--(Marketwire - April 18, 2012) - Reusing air conditioning condensation to water plants and clean. Repurposing advertising banners into fashionable tote bags. Recycling used cooking oil to power generators at a hospital. Today, McDonald's Corp. (NYSE: MCD) celebrates these and dozens more examples of passion and innovation in the 2012 Global Best of Green report.Best of Green is a collection of best practices that focus on the environment and provide tangible positive impact for the company's business and brand. The report illustrates progress in eight categories -- energy, packaging, anti-littering, recycling, logistics, communications, green building, and greening the workplace."Our commitment to environmental sustainability truly comes to life in our restaurants," said Jeff Stratton, McDonald's chief restaurant officer. "By implementing these solutions, McDonald's demonstrates its commitment to building a better business through effective environmental practices around the world.""I'm proud of the progress in all these areas and I'm especially excited to see the number of impactful advancements in energy/carbon reduction and green building -- two of our key planet priorities," said Bob Langert, McDonald's vice president of Sustainability.2012 Best of Green includes more than 20 energy-efficiency initiatives, including carbon-reduction practices, and green building advancements in more than a dozen markets around the world.In the U.S., for example, McDonald's USA has made a national commitment to match 30 percent of its electricity use at company-owned restaurants in 2012 with renewable energy credits from U.S. wind sources. Renewable energy credits help fund the development of new renewable energy resources to increase the amount of available clean energy for everyone.Other report highlights include:- A maintenance technician at a McDonald's restaurant in Brazil suggested re-using condensation generated by the air conditioning unit. The resulting collection, storage and re-use system provided water for plants and cleaning external areas, and reduced daily water consumption 15 percent.- Restaurant crew at McDonald's restaurants in the U.K. created new environmental best practices, leading to key changes including a 20 percent increase in cardboard recycling.- McDonald's focus on sustainable meetings is illustrated by actions at the 2011 gathering of 16,000 U.S. Owner-Operators, restaurant managers, staff and suppliers. More than half the waste stream was diverted and 1.35 tons of waste kept out of the landfill through soap/amenity recycling. Additional recycling initiatives kept more than 85 tons out of the landfill.
McDonald's collaborated with key external stakeholders to recognize "best of the best" actions by selecting "Planet Champions" for each report category. The selection committee voted for projects and included representatives from BSR, Ceres, Conservation International, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and McDonald's. They made their selections based on the level of innovation, environmental and business impacts, scalability and business integration. The 2012 McDonald's "Planet Champions" are:- Energy: McDonald's Europe's innovative carbon footprint measurement "toolkit" sets the stage for identifying future carbon reduction opportunities- Packaging: McDonald's Canada's switch to unbleached napkins and bags leads to positive environmental, customer and cost savings impacts- Anti-Littering: Through a focus on litter reduction for more than 20 years, McDonald's Australia works to establish a leadership position by engaging its restaurant employees, staff and customers to control the impacts of litter around restaurants in Australia- Recycling & Waste Reduction: McDonald's Austria achieves a 95 percent recycling rate in its restaurants with the McRecycle(R) program- Logistics: McDonald's entire fleet of supply trucks in the UAE currently run on 100 percent biodiesel, made from vegetable oil recycled from McDonald's restaurants- Communications: For McDonald's restaurant employees in Spain, environmental training is a core element of orientation and training- Greening the Restaurants: McDonald's USA plans to build 25 additional LEED-certified restaurants by 2015 through its participation in the LEED Volume Program- Greening the Restaurants: The first green restaurant in Pilar, Argentina, built by Arcos Dorados, McDonald's development licensee in Latin America, becomes the first new building in the country to receive LEED Gold for New Construction certification- Greening the Workplace: McDonald's Japan helps nearly 5,500 of its crew members achieve a 15 percent reduction in their power usage from July through September 2011
"These actions are important," said Ryan Schuchard, manager of climate and energy, BSR. "The environmental progress from the U.S. market's energy-saving commitment alone is meaningful, and it provides good examples of initiatives that could have a huge impact if scaled throughout the McDonald's system globally."For more on Best of Green: http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd/sustainability/signature_programs/best_practices.html About McDonald'sMcDonald's is the world's leading global foodservice retailer with more than 33,500 locations serving approximately 68 million customers in 119 countries each day.

First Posted: 5/2/2013
WEST WYOMING — Residents from surrounding communities concerned about the effects of a proposed natural gas facility planned for a part of West Wyoming testified about their fears Thursday night at a Public Utilities Commission hearing.
UGI Penn Natural Gas has petitioned the PUC for permission to build a gate station that would measure natural gas from the Auburn Pipeline before it enters the Transco international pipeline.
By using its sister company, Penn Natural Gas, which is a public utility provider, UGI is able to bypass zoning restrictions because a utility directly services its customers.
Held at the borough's Hose Company No. 2, the hearing brought out residents who stated their fears and worries about what problems the facility may cause.
Raymond Metzo of Firecut Road lives 100 feet away from the proposed site, with half of his property located in West Wyoming and the other half in Kingston Township. He said trees have been cleared to make room for the facility, which includes four structures on a 3.2-acre plot.
He said he not only worries that his property will be "worthless" if the gate station is built, but also about the noise pollution that would accompany it.
"The noise travels in the country like you would not believe," he said.
UGI spokesperson Joseph Swope said that gas delivered through the proposed gate station will save UGI/PNG customers approximately $11 million from Dec. 1, 2013 through Oct. 31, 2020.
But Bunker Hill resident Maria Dubiel also lives close to the proposed site in Kingston Township. She said neither she nor the "hundreds and hundreds" of people she said she's talked to who live near the proposed site would benefit from the facility because they are not natural gas customers.
"If this exception is allowed it will open a Pandora's Box," she said.
In a prepared statement, West Wyoming Borough Council President Eileen Cipriani stated the borough objects to UGI's petition to build the structures for the metering station.
"There has been no submission of any kind by UGI Penn Natural Gas that the proposed structures in any way directly result in any convenience or welfare for the public in West Wyoming Borough," she stated.
A final, evidentiary hearing on the plan will be held in Harrisburg on June 3 and 4.

Woodhaven, Fife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coordinates: 56°25′59″N 2°57′11″W / 56.433°N 2.953°W Woodhaven used to be a small village between Newport-on-Tay and Wormit in Fife, Scotland but over the years due to expansion of both these villages it is now just the name for a harbour. During World War II there was a flying boat station at Woodhaven operating four PBY5 Catalina aircraft manned by Flight A of 333 Squadron Royal Norwegian Air Force. The Norwegian personnel were based at RAF Lechuars along with their colleagues in Flight B who flew land based Mosquito aircraft.

Another reason we should all hate Micheal Eisner. But hey look!! Tony Baxtor was planned to lead that. And to be honest with you. It sounds really cool!!!!! I think now that Tony is in charge of Disneyland, there will be hopes of this returning!!!"Tomorrowland 2055"
The first Idea that the Imagineers had for a 'New Tomorrowland' for Disneyland was Tomorrowland 2055. Bruce Gordon and Tony Baxter (of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad fame) were to champion this grand rethemeing. It would be set in Disneyland in 2055. A time when quite of a few extraterrestrials have made the trek to Anaheim and have set up shop in Tomorrowland.
Many buildings would be redone, to match the new theme, such as what used to be the Carousel of Progress. Which would be a full-sized flying saucer that's reminiscent of the Mother Ship from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." After walking up a gangplank, you could sample "Plectu's Fantastic Intergalactic Review.", an animatronic show. The aliens included this flying circus' three-armed ringmaster, P.T. Quantum, as well as some giant swamp creature that rose out of the muck and sang operatic arias with its multiple mouths.
Overhead, glistening steel catwalks would allow guests to access to a whole new level of Tomorrowland shops and restaurants. On the ground, mysterious crystalline shapes that glowed brightly and unusually shaped plants would have given this side of the park a truly unusual feel.
Also, Tomorrowland 2055 would be where The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter was originally planned to debut. An attraction that was then thought of as a franchise attraction, being at every Disneyland-style theme park. It would be situated in a building with a roof that appeared to be held up by statues of X.S, Tech employees.
"Tomorrowland 2055" would have become an elaborate showplace at Disneyland. It could have set a whole new standard for theming and storytelling at the Anaheim park by taking guests on a fantastic trip to the future. But all of this was stopped by Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who reportedly never truly wanted to build 'Plectu', because Animatronic-heavy shows like this are expensive to build and difficult to maintain. In meetings where the Walt Disney Imagineers would try and present to him various versions of the show, Eisner would allegedly say things like "A revolving theater full of singing aliens? How is that different from what they've got at Chuck E. Cheese? We need a better idea for this show."

Milo: SXSW Review
The Bottom Line
Ostentatiously tasteless shock-com aims for cult status
Ken Marino, Gillian Jacobs, Peter Stormare, Stephen Root, Patrick Warburton, Mary Kay Place
Jacob Vaughan
Jacob Vaughan makes irritable bowel syndrome look like a cakewalk in gross-out comedy.
AUSTIN — How a festival with a "Midnighters" section could slot a film like Milo anywhere else is as puzzling as, well, what would compel someone to tell the story of a guy with a vengeful little monster living in his colon. Director/co-writer Jacob Vaughan got big laughs by informing a SXSW audience that this is a "very personal film"; playing against earnestness will attract viewers at fests, but careful marketing will be needed to drum up a cult following in the outside world.
Ken Marino plays the unfortunate man in question, Ken, who has had painful gastrointestinal issues his whole life. His doctor says poor stress management is to blame, but it's hard to de-stress when your manager (Patrick Warburton, jockeying to win this year's Gary Cole Award for most infuriating onscreen boss) moves your desk to a men's room and tells you to fire half your co-workers. Or when your mother (Mary Kay Place), not content to have lots of icky sex with her much younger second husband, invites a fertility doctor to dinner to discuss your failure to get your wife (Gillian Jacobs) pregnant.
It doesn't get easier with the help of a hippy-dippy hypnotherapist (Peter Stormare, giving the most cartoonish performance in a deliberately cartoonish production) whose own parrot calls a "witch doctor." But the doc does wind up witnessing the nature of Ken's woes: When he gets so upset he can't contain himself, he writhes until he's unconscious (an Incredible Hulk reference late in the film makes the obvious comparison), whereupon -- cover your ears, kids -- a beast crawls out of his anus, runs off to kill the source of his misery, and returns to climb back inside Ken before he wakes up.
Still with us? This is where Stormare's shrink pulls out ancient Mayan texts to identify the symbiotic relationship Ken has with "Milo" (who looks like E.T.'s ugly cousin with a mouth full of shark teeth), explaining that Ken must bond with the beast if he wants to end the killing spree.
Readers will be right to assume that Milo offers more than one painfully long explosive-diarrhea scene, but may be surprised just how far the excrement flies here -- Marino, game to play the role straight, spends much of the film in a feces-stained shirt; he not only pantomimes having a baby-sized critter climb up into him, he tries to feed the thing mice while it's inside. (Finally, a new chapter in gerbilling lore.)
It's unlikely that those who aren't laughing now will laugh when they see all this onscreen; those who are may not keep it up for 83 minutes. Though Vaughan and his co-writer Benjamin Hayes work a few non-fecal jokes in between the action scenes, the film plays like a feature-length version of an absurdist comedy sketch only a team like Mr. Show should approach. Milo will certainly be talked about, but whether it can attract a cult remains to be seen.
