City sales tax revenue down 16.6 percent
CORPUS CHRISTI - Aggressive sales promotions early this holiday season didn't seem to influence Corpus Christi shoppers who spent significantly less in November than a year ago.
The numbers, released this week, showed a 16.6 percent decline in retail sales tax revenues, from $4.8 million in November 2008 to $4 million in November 2009.
November sales proved to be a disappointment for local government officials who were expecting better results with the approaching holiday season. Recent reports of improving unemployment rates and home sales had fueled some hope for increased sales.
"We were hoping it might be a little better than it was," said Susan Vinson, financial director for the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority. The majority of RTA's funding, 95 percent of its operating budget, comes from retail sales tax revenue.
Jim Lee, an economist at Texas A&M Univeristy-Corpus Christi who monitors local economic indicators, said consumer confidence still remains low despite the push for holiday sales that occurred a week before Thanksgiving.
"It looks like the economy is not picking up as quickly as we thought it would be," he said.
Retail sales taxes are generated mostly from places such as department stores, restaurants and gas stations. Those revenues in November decreased for the ninth consecutive month. October revenue fell 17.9 percent from October 2008.
Local government entities relying on revenues have been planning for a budget shortfall.
RTA has already predicted a $2.5 million hit to its $28.7 million budget, prompting an administrative hiring freeze and cuts in staff travel and community events.
The City of Corpus Christi is working to trim $6.6 million from its 2009-2010 fiscal year, which is a conservative estimate of the shortfall it had previously predicted, said Constance Sanchez, interim director of the city's financial services. That figure was increased from $4.6 million at the urging of City Council in November.
Sales tax revenue makes up 25 percent of a $196 million budget the City Council approved in July for its general fund. That budget, which covers Aug. 1 to July 31, pays for most city services such as police, parks, libraries, streets and administration.
The city has seen a 12.6 percent decline in revenue during the first five months of its fiscal year, Sanchez said. It will suggest a list of budget cuts during a Jan. 19 presentation before council members.
Vinson said the RTA would hold off on making any budget decisions, if needed, until sales revenues for December are released. Those are expected some time in early February and will set the tone for what's to come this year, Lee said.
"Going into 2010, it's going to be an interesting year," he said. It seems like consumers are still pretty cautious about what they spend."

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Tax cut for small brewers would create jobs, Tammy Baldwin says
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin is backing a tax-cut bill for small beer brewers that she says would create jobs.
The Madison Democrat told Wisconsin Public Radio: "Alleviation and reduction of the excise tax is going to be a direct investment in our local economy, in our local communities and lead to jobs."
A story by The Hill details the bill and mentions that another Wisconsin Democrat, U.S. Rep. Ron Kind of La Crosse, is sponsoring a bill to lower taxes for all brewers.

The Southern Counties East League are mourning the loss of their president Roy Vinter who died on Friday aged 76 following a long illness.
A former referee, Mr Vinter who lived in Ickham, moved to the county in 1971, joining the Kent League list the following year.
He was appointed secretary of Whitstable Town and joined the league management committee in 1980, before being appointed secretary-treasurer in 1990, a post he held until last year when he was elected president.
The Football Association also honoured him with a 50-year long service award.
Mr Vinter cut his footballing teeth in his native Teeside, qualifying as a Class 3 official with the North Riding County (Minor) FA, starting in local leagues, before being promoted to Class 1, continuing to officiate while on national service.
His career in league administration began in 1961, when he was appointed registration secretary of the Middlesbrough & District Youth League, before taking over as treasurer of the North Riding County (Minor FA).
Work commitments then saw him move south, first to Slough in Berkshire, before switching to Kent.
A SCEL spokesman said: "Roy served football in various capacities over seven decades, and all of those involved in football in Kent have been able to benefit from the experience and knowledge that he had gained.
"Kent Football and the Southern Counties East Football League will be poorer for this loss."
Mr Vinter was also an active and successful member of Chilham Short Mat Bowls Club, both as chairman and player, winning many competitions with his wife of 52 years, Carol.
Funeral arrangements will be announced shortly.

Bombardier Commercial Aircraft president Gary Scott says more CSeries orders will be announced in the "not too distant future".
Giving a programme update to media attending the European Regions Airline Association general assembly in Barcelona, Scott said the manufacturer is in talks with "dozens" of potential CSeries operators.
"I would say we're in advanced discussions with a handful of those," says Scott. "We anticipate that these discussions will turn into orders in the not to distant future."
He declines to elaborate on the timelines and says the orders could be from virtually any corner of the world.
"The [CSeries] orders we've seen so far have been for 20, 30, 40 aircraft and these are representative of the kind of orders which are likely to continue," says Scott. "This is a new fleet type, so customers are looking at a significant number of aircraft."
He says the talks which are nearing competion are "not small orders". Most of them are for 10-12 aircraft.

Hello, I've been lurking on this site for a long while now, but never had the courage to post my own stuff.

So here I am, posting the latest from my visual diary. Any critiques and comments would be greatly appreciated! The more the better =D

What should we do then ? Next season, we could trade Desharnais and Plekanec ? I'd trade Plek because he has much more value than Desharnais; and moreover, Plek salary is higher too, and he's older.
I'Ve been thinking this for a while now. I had the same view on Bulis: when we got him, I thought he had 2nd line LW potential, 50 points guy. It became slowly but surely pretty clear that this would never happen. I loved him on our 3rd line at the time, although not really a physical presence, but he wanted a bigger role.
I think Eller will never be more than a 3rd line. He's a good one at that, although doesn't hit often, but he plays a sound defensive game and can chip in offensively sometimes. If he insists on playing higher in the lineup, then trade him.
EDIT I mostly think Eller lacks hockey sense and vision. He doesn't make the right plays at the right time, and is not a great (but not bad) passer either.

Streamlined Sales Tax Project
"Take two on taxing"
State governments this year are coming closer to ending the tax-free ways of online and catalog retailers.
After a three-year effort, 20 states passed laws to simplify and modernize the way they administer various sales taxes, paving the way for the creation of tax-collection software that can be distributed to Internet retailers and mail-order companies, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The Streamlined Sales Tax Project — launched March 2000 by the conference, the National Governors Association, the Federation of Tax Administrators, and the Multistate Tax Commission — included representatives from 36 states who developed the model agreement. Last November, 31 states and the District of Columbia ratified the final proposal. State officials say it harmonizes the mishmash of sales and use tax codes while letting states set their own rates.
The agreement may be a basis for Congress to give states authority to require all sellers to collect sales and use taxes, because the tax application software will make it simple to determine, collect and remit such taxes, said Illinois state Sen. Steven Rauschenberger, who's chaired the legislature conference's taxation of e-commerce task force.
As long as they don't operate a bricks-and-mortar store in the buyer's states, retailers currently aren't required to collect sales tax or complementary use taxes, which are levied on out-of-state goods. As a result, the legal responsibility for paying use taxes falls on buyers. Although most companies and business entities pay a use tax because they are audited regularly, most individuals do not.
Forty-five states and the District of Columbia levy a sales tax and a use tax. However, two U.S. Supreme Court decisions established that states can't require out-of-state retailers to collect sales taxes on items sold to their residents because keeping track of rules in 7,500 taxing jurisdictions is an undue burden to interstate commerce, Rauschenberger said.
State agencies for years have complained of tax revenue losses because online stores and their mail-order brethren don't collect sales tax. And traditional retailers have long argued that online and catalog retailers have an unfair advantage as a result.
According to the state legislatures group, recent research indicates state and local governments collectively may have lost out $13 billion in uncollected sales tax revenue. The report predicts that figure may increase to $45 billion in 2006 and almost $55 billion in 2011.
Conversely, online retailers argued that electronic commerce cannot grow unless it is free of sales tax. But as a result of the states' sales tax project earlier this year, several prominent retailers started collecting sales tax online, including Amazon.com Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp. and Toys 'R Us.
Rauschenberger said he was "stunned" that 20 state governments, representing 30 percent of the U.S. population, enacted legislation complying with the model agreement so quickly, double the 10 needed for the agreement to take effect. Participation from states and retailers is completely voluntary.
States will give retailers software to calculate and remit taxes. The states will more than make up for the deployment costs through increased tax revenues, said Charles D. Collins Jr., former director of North Carolina's revenue department and currently government affairs director of Taxware, which has developed one such tax software program. Merchants will not be held liable for calculation errors, Collins said.
Participating states have to meet at least 30 standards. They had agreed on uniform definitions of products, such as when a candy bar is considered food.

Russian Tea Embrocation
Issue : Nov 2011
Editorial Review
Mad Alchemy's Russian Tea is a medium-heat embro with a base of grapeseed and soybean oil with beeswax, and a mellow, spicy cinnamon and clove aroma from essential oils. It smells just like Rasputin's kitchen.
It has a resinous, slightly gritty texture out of the jar, but rubs in quickly. The heat comes on a bit slowly, compared to other embrocations, and, I felt, a touch inconsistently. On one ride, my knees were toasty, but not my quads. Take care not to get it on anything white; so far it's come out in the wash but the orange color not only gives your legs a faint "fake bake" bronzing, it instantly stains any fabric it touches, and hot water or a run in the dryer will set any stain because of the oil base.
Russian Tea is perfect, however, for rides in cold, inclement weather—the kind only a mad monk would love. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be waterproof, put this stuff on. After 90 minutes in a steady rain one day, water still beaded up on my shins and ran right off. And the heat continues a pleasant, slow burn even two hours in.
Take care when removing it post-ride. Cold water, soap, and scrubbing are necessary to fully strip it off your skin; otherwise, it'll reactivate in a hot post-ride shower. Similarly, if you use chamois cream, always follow these instructions: chamois, THEN embro. Otherwise you risk some unpleasant, uh, cross-pollination issues best suited for locker room pranks.
The best thing about Russian Tea, other than that it works well, is its aroma. Most embros have a minty, spicy flavor about them from the capsicum, but Russian Tea's herbal notes are unique and have a special character. It stands out, and isn't afraid to.—Joe Lindsey

Always tough to put St. Lucia in the rear view mirror. It's a beautiful, serene place. Now, home in NY, it's back to the reality of fall as the pace of the city accelerates, the leaves turn, and I feel like a squirrel on a highway dodging eighteen wheelers with signs on them saying "End of the year 's coming!" and, "There's too much to do!"
But, good memories linger. We had a great class, filled with talent and high spirits, certainly exemplified by the artwork offered by the estimable, hysterical and talented Virginia Pinkston, who created a postcard in honor of the workshop. Yes indeed, TTL flash can be frustrating.
We were hosted as always by the gracious staff of Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain resorts, where chances for lovely pictures grow in abundance, right there on the beaches and in the lush jungles. My heartfelt thanks go out to Nick and Karolin Troubetzkoy, from whose imaginations these places sprung, to the hotel staffs, and of course, Edmund Modeste, who makes everything happen for the workshop.
Also thanks to RC Concepcion, our guest instructor for the week. It was fun watching RC gambol about like a kid in a candy factory. His peerless sense of composition and post-production mastery of HDR were perfectly suited to the sweep and audacity of Jade Mountain.
We made a trip to the Soufrieres Firehouse again, and saw Garvey and his mates. I did a quick demo about creating window light with small flash by using a tri-flash with SB910 units and a Lastolite skylite panel to camera left, which worked out well.
And it's wonderful and soul soothing for me, always, to photograph one of my favorite people, Claudette Adjodha. A wonderful guitarist and vocalist, she always, for me, has a calm and direct connection to the camera. Shot with a Quadra, fitted with an 59″ indirect Rotilux soft box.
The warmth of the islands will surely fade into the cool of the fall with a trek north to Lansing, Michigan for Friday's One Light, Two Light tour. Looking forward to once again trying to wring good light, simple and fast, out of a couple of speed lights.
And, then, further north. We go back to Toronto, one of my favorite cities, to join with colleagues and friends for the PPOC convention, Oct. 14 and 15. It's being held at the Westin, and it'll be great to back in the north country. More tk….
Back in St. Lucia
Oct 3
In Seminars & Workshops at 12:10pm
Once again, we are in one of the most beautiful places on earth, St. Lucia. We are doing our annual lighting workshop at Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain resorts, where the lush forests of this island meet the sea in a truly wonderful way.
We have a terrific bunch of folks, and we are moving lights and lenses all over the myriad possibilities this place presents.
The kick this year is we have as our guest instructor none other than RC Concepcion of the Kelby Media Group. RC is simply one of the best shooters and teachers around, and he's also a dear friend. He has found himself in the middle of a place uniquely suited to one of his specialties, HDR photography.
I mean, it's really a match made in heaven, this place and RC's formidable skill set. He's posting like crazy on his site on Google Plus.
We are already planning for next year. It's tough to resist coming here with a camera in your hands, as I have now for 20 years. More tk…
Once again we head to paradise this year, to visit one of my favorite places on earth, St. Lucia. I've been going there, to the same place, Anse Chastanet and Jade Mountain since 1992. We go back again this year for another five day lighting workshop, which over the years have been extremely popular.
We always bring in a guest instructor for a few hours, late in the week, to show different techniques, and this year we are proud to have none other than RC Concepcion, who is simply one of the most multi-faceted, talented, warm-hearted people in the business. How talented is RC? That itself is a daunting question. He's an extremely intuitive and versatile shooter, a flat out genius at post-production, an accomplished, best selling author, and, quite simply, one of the best teachers I've ever seen. He will teach all that stuff that I can't, namely, post-production wizardry, and of course, HDR. He is the authority about the technique with his most recent book on HDR having sold like hotcakes since it hit the newsstands. He's just an amazing shooter and teacher.
So, all week, we do on location lighting in all ways, shapes and forms. Small flash in the jungle, with jungle bikers, exotic hotel rooms and balancing indoor/outdoor exposure situations, sunsets on the beach, location portraiture, and field trips. Late in the week, on Thursday, RC joins us and mixes it up by leading an HDR adventure into the jungle, showing everyone how to shoot this technique, and then, on Friday, he will run the class for the afternoon, taking the images created into Photoshop and working them into final form. I will continue right through the whole week teaching lighting, culminating with our sunset extravaganza on Friday evening with models and fire on the beach. It's a loaded workshop..location small flash, HDR, post processing, with tons of time in the classroom every day for critiques.
It will be a wonderful week of photography in one of the most beautiful places on earth. For the whole skinny on schedule and availability, hit this link. (After hitting the link scroll down!) Read the summation below, and factor in the "RC effect."
I'm super excited RC was able to make time to join us this year. As of this writing, though, the lighting workshop is almost full. If you might be thinking about it, hit the links above. The hotel will walk you through the discount room packages (only available to the workshop) and the itinerary. More tk…
Creative Asia, Coming in July….
May 22
In Seminars & Workshops at 8:59pm
My bud and fellow shooter Louis Pang continues the adventure by launching another version of Creative Asia, which in a very short time has become an absolute go to event for photographers, art directors, and visual communicators from all over the Far East. Louis has not only positioned himself as one of the world's leading wedding shooters, he's also determined to influence an entire generation of shooters via his teaching and energy. Hence, Creative Asia. Below is a bit of a mission statement, if you will.
Wonderful goals, and lofty language. But then Louis throws everybody a curve and invites a coupla dudes from the States. This guy from Atlanta who only uses one light, and a bona fide looney tune from NY who totes around bags of speed lights. How we gonna fit in?
Really honored to be teaching with Zack, who is a supremely talented shooter out of the South, and a guy who has already has earned his stripes as a shooter through the school of hard knocks and ups and downs. And, unstintingly, in the grand and honorable tradition of this pass it on business of photography, he takes his accumulated experience and uses it to teach wonderfully and well.
July 16-20, in Hong Kong, there will be a gathering of photographers and educators from all over, converging to talk and teach photography. Here's a link for details. Lots of wonderful days, and late night BS sessions. Many beers will be consumed. And it takes place in one of the most amazing cities on the planet. More tk….
Way Down Under
May 18
In On Location, Seminars & Workshops at 8:31pm
Back in Sydney after almost a week in Tasmania, which is as wonderfully out of the way relative to everyplace else as its name might suggest. Lovely land, wonderful people. I was assigned by Tourism Australia to do a somewhat open ended assignment described as the Faces of Tasmania. I fully disclosed to them beforehand that I was a relatively awful rock and tree shooter, and preferred to stick with subject matter that talks back. (There have been location days of course, and people subjects, that have made me dearly wish I was better at the rocks and trees.)
But, I am, resolutely, a people photog, despite (or because of) its unrelenting unpredictability.
By pure chance, and by asking some questions of Sam, our intrepid ATV guide and mentor, we ended up photographing a terrific Tasmanian character nicknamed Muddy. He's worked the water his whole life, and we asked him to come down to the dock for sunrise, which was a tad earlier than generally required of him. His fee for this was a case of VB beer. Done.
He's got a wonderful, knowing gaze, the kind that says, in unspoken fashion, something along the lines of, "Get this over with, silly ass photographer and let me get to my work, and my beer." Which is okay. I'll gladly ride through any sort of ridicule to photograph a face like Muddy's. Very brief, but fun, shoot.
Out there on the dock with the Numnuts Ezy box. Really fond of it as a character driven light. The white interior is pretty rich and forgiving, unlike its cousin with the silver interior, which is naturally a touch harder and more splashy. And, even though I only met him for a few minutes, I'll venture to say that Muddy doesn't do splashy. Also, for reasons of air travel and price per kilo of baggage, we left behind the c-stands, and used a Manfrotto stacker stand fitted with a extension arm.
Also, it being a portrait, I was able to orchestrate wardrobe, believe it or not. I saw an old pair of yellow slicker pants in the wheelhouse of the boat Muddy was working, and asked him to wear them. The touch of yellow up front resonated well with the blue of the background sky. I didn't go into color wheel theory with Muddy. I was just happy he was easygoing about putting them on.
We had a another early morning photo session with Rob Pennicott, the Tasmanian of the Year in 2012. An entrepreneur, environmentalist, and sailor extraordinaire, he recently completed the first circumnavigation of Australia in an outboard powered vessel. The feat was accomplished in conjunction with the Bill Gates Foundation in an effort to raise money to eradicate polio.
We got a good portrait here mostly due to Rob's good graces, and the fact that, pesky photog that I am, I asked him to come down to the dock at 7am, instead of the 2pm slot that the tourist board had originally arranged. Two pm light from a cloudless southern sky is the rock and the hard place, simultaneously, and a portrait shot then could have easily been DOE (dead on exposure). Turned out that Di, our irrepressible guide, knew Rob and made the call. He joked on the phone about whether there would be nudity involved. I answered that, if we headed that direction, it would only be partial nudity, which he was comfortable with. He is, as they say down under, a good bloke.
And, it being a tourism type shoot, I couldn't leave Tasmania without a portrait session with one of its most amiable and recognizable faces.
Greg Irons and Petra Harris run an animal sanctuary called Bonorong Park, where they take in orphaned or injured animal infants, nurse them back to health and then release them into the wild. With the wombat, such as Petra is holding below, this can be a two or three year process, waiting for the dawn of wombat adolescence, and its naturally rambunctious push for independence.
They are also participating in efforts to discover the cause and cure for a cancer of the mouth that has decimated the Tasmanian Devil population. Called devil facial tumor disease, it can be transmitted from critter to critter, unlike most cancers. The Tasmanian wildlife community is rallying around the devil, trying desperately to contain and eradicate the disease.
Back in Sydney now, preparing for our last Sydney workshop, to be held this Monday. After that, off to Melbourne, where we'll be for Aussie PMA, and doing another workshop, keynote and seminar. It'll be a super busy week, and then, home and Annie…..more tk…

Today, let's write a script for "CSI: Indianapolis," the political forensics show. Our plot will center on just what led to the death of Mayor Bart Peterson's police merger plan.
It appears the merger died from a fatal mixture of partisanship and political miscalculation. The mayor took the blame for not effectively selling his plan, but here are other findings from the cause-of-death report:
Police opposition. This goes deeper than hostility to the merger. This is about the mayor's longstanding feud with the Fraternal Order of Police leadership. It finally hurt him.
GOP Councilman Scott Keller put it best: "The mayor needs to go out and win over the Police Department. If he does that, he'll have all 29 (council) votes."
That could be tricky. FOP President Vince Huber is not easy to deal with, and after months of bashing the merger, now he's emboldened.
Republican unity. With the help of county GOP Chairman Mike Murphy, Republicans persuaded their 14 council members to vote as a bloc. That was quite a feat for a diverse group. But by unifying, the GOP pressured Democrats, who have 15 votes. Just one Democrat defection was needed to kill the merger.
Democratic miscounts. For weeks, council Democratic leaders insisted they had more than the 15 votes needed.
They were wrong, and this miscount wasn't the first.
In May, the leaders were shocked when the council derailed an anti-smoking ordinance. The measure was later revived, but the vote raised questions about whether Democrats could count votes.
Sherron Franklin. Yes, the Democrat cast the vote that killed the merger. But in a twist, Franklin didn't even want to participate. She'd spent weeks trying to argue her way out of voting because, as an Indianapolis police officer, she said she had a conflict of interest.
Democrats, from the mayor's office down, disagreed. So Franklin voted. And she voted no. (For the record, the merger would have died with or without Franklin. Fifteen votes are needed to pass ordinances, whether or not all 29 members vote.)
Mayoral say. Many were concerned that the mayor would have no say in day-to-day police matters under a merged department. "He's supposed to be the go-to guy," said Cathy Burton, head of the Marion County Alliance of Neighborhood Associations. "Where's the accountability?" Her question resonated.
Meanwhile, at the Capitol
Now that state Sen. J. Murray Clark, R-Indianapolis, has resigned, talk is turning to his replacement. GOP leaders say City-County Councilman Isaac "Ike" Randolph of Pike Township has emerged as the front-runner. He formally declared his interest in a news release Tuesday.
There are other possible candidates, though, including Wayne Township Trustee Dan Gammon, insurance agent Pat Downey and Mike Delph, a former aide to U.S. Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind.
Precinct leaders have until Dec. 15 to pick a replacement. And while Gov. Mitch Daniels isn't publicly endorsing anyone, through a spokeswoman he tellingly called Randolph "a terrific public servant."

Twinfinite wrote a quick article about Pixel Boys newest trailer to celebrate reaching the top 100 on Steam Greenlight
Posted by GiantBoxGames on Nov 2nd, 2013
"Valve's Greenlight process is a troubled, long, winding road for developers. Only the crème de la crème make it onto Steam's storefront, and Pixel Boy's crème looks delectable. Pixel Boy is a top-down dungeon crawling action shooter with pulsating beats, and a pixelated art style that is alluring and nostalgic. The game looks ripened to be Greenlit. To celebrate their spot at number 69 on Greenlight's top 100 Giant Box Games, developers of Pixel Boy, have released the third trailer for the game."

My Problem
My wife's MacBookPro was becoming ever more sluggish. I had seen this before: the last time it happened, a hard drive had a catastrophic failure and data was lost. I decided it was time to banish moving parts from her computer forever. SSD, here I come!
My Fix
The hardest part was getting the drive set up -- it took about an hour to download OS X, and another half hour or so to set up the drive and install. I used the provided usb adapter and enclosure to install it directly to the new disk, and then swapped the old disk out. The swap itself took a whopping 15 minutes! The provided toolkit was impressive -- it and the enclosure together cost a meagre $20, and it was money well spent. I can't comment on its long-term sturdiness yet, but it looks very promising.
The end result? My wife's computer performs 50% faster (at least subjectively, because of load times) and suddenly has 150% of its former battery life. I think I just added another 2 years to that computer's lifespan.
My Advice
I had no idea how simple it would be. Be not afraid!
But do look up how to install OS X onto an external drive. That's actually the hardest part, easy as it is.
March 16, 2015
My Problem
My original HDD in my 2010 MacBook Pro died so I needed to get this issue fixed so I could continue with my school work.
My Fix
The repair was super easy to do. It took me about 5-10 minutes from start to finish and it was just a matter of popping the old HDD out and transferring the screws to my new SSD.
My Advice
If you have the opportunity to upgrade to a SSD, I would recommend doing so!
March 12, 2015
My Problem
I was gonna upgrade the Mountain Lion to the latest OSX, which has new features such as Facetime audio. However, it's really hard for the 2012 13" Macbook Pro to run the new systems with an HDD(actually it also performed poorly on Mountain Lion). Hence, I decided to get rid of the CD-ROM and replace it by an SSD.
My Fix
It took me 30 minutes to finish the replacement of SSD (didn't change the HDD from the original place).
The process by iFixit is quite enough but not so perfect. I've searched for some other websites which include much more pictures for each details.
If iFixit would have more pictures, I might be able to finish it within 15 minutes.
My Advice
Wearing a glove would be better.
February 26, 2015
My Problem
There is nothing wrong with the computer except its speed. It needed much more memory to handle the new Mac OS software, Microsoft Office and Turbo Tax. It would take almost 5 minutes for the computer to just boot up getting ready to be productive.
My Fix
I up graded to 8 Gig of ram, a really easy install. Then I put in the 128 Gig new SSD drive and used Super Duper to clone my original hard disc. Worked like a charm and now I am off to the races for the first time in years.
My Advice
I took the old disk out before cloning the new one. Put the replacement disc in, the plugged in the old hard drive, booted the computer off the old disc and did the Super Duper. Worked like a charm. The video and tutorials made this an undaunting task. I don't usually tear my electronic gear apart like this. Thanks for the confidence to do this.
February 4, 2015
My Problem
Bought a MacBook Pro early 2011, but getting slow with all the updates and software.
My Fix
Changed the 2 x 2GB RAM Chip into 2 x 4 GB Ram Chip,
Made a FusionDrive - The 500GB HDD and the 128GB SSD made together the MacBook Pro 3 times faster...
in Allignment with a Clean install of OS X I have new computer for peanuts.
My Advice
know how to make the fusion drive, ask advise and if you have questions.. => internet
December 28, 2014
My Problem
No problem, just little slow
My Fix
It went well
My Advice
It's easy, just do it your self and save some money. Here (finland) they took 89€ from that work.
December 15, 2014
My Problem
Constant beach ball. Simple tasks painfully slow to execute.
My Fix
Swimmingly. Opened it up, dropped in the goods (solid state drive, new RAM, new battery), and boom! Back in action. I had a few hiccups installing Yosemite from USB drive, which were quickly countered with the moves shown below.
My Advice
Before installing OS X, you will probably need to format your drive to GUID (http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/16/make-os-x...).
If you get an error message installing OS X (in my case Yosemite) for no apparent reason, you may need to set the time through terminal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvd1D129...).
November 3, 2014
My Problem
The SMART status of the old hard disk failed.
My Fix
Got the Solid State drive with the installation kit. Unfortunately, none of the supplied bits worked for the Unibody's screws. I had, however, an eye-glass repair kit with the tiny screw drivers that you need.
The sleeve with the USB connector was fabulous as I could migrate the system from the old device.
My Advice
As always, the fixit website's instructions and the figures were marvelous.
I would suggest you add to the screw-bits kit an instruction which bit to use for what screws.
It may also be useful to add for disk purchases instructions of how to migrate a boot disk onto the new disk. I used this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onorIa2b5.... Although clunky, the steps worked exactly as described.

My Problem
Hard drive was failing, and had to replace so I decided to go with a solid state drive.
My Fix
Easy, the guides made it go flawless. At first I thought it would very difficult and even thought to take it to a repair place. iFix it saved me money and in the process I learned something new.
My Advice
Keep screws together, or else you are going to have lots of trouble trying to find them. Also don't screw them all the way in, because I broke part of my screwdriver that came in with my kit.

My Problem
My free-spirited sister could not be bothered with caution when drinking around a computer! Despite having a keyboard protector, she still managed to spill a drink into her MacBook Pro, ruining the hard drive and fan. She's been studying in Belgium, France, Africa, and now Australia, so it was up to me to bring the mighty MacBook Pro back to life!
My Fix
What an awesome experience!!! I bought the parts here, cheaper than I found elsewhere, and the detailed instruction guides were spot on! I was done, what I think is a pretty major repair, in no time and had the MacBook Pro up and running - like new!!!
My Advice
YOU CAN DO IT! Don't fear my friends, these guides are your own personal tech expert, sitting right beside you! And the gratification of completing a project yourself cannot be matched!

The current economy is making it tougher than ever to try to grow a startup — but in many ways, it's never been easier to launch a new business. Tech platforms like social networks and open-source software have boosted the chances that people with good ideas will get their startups off the ground, even if they don't know how to write code and haven't raised a round of funding. Meanwhile, people that do have tech skills can get their products in front of potential consumers directly — no middleman required for distribution (or promotion).
That evolution is the jumping-off point for our new editorial list "Fresh Faces in Tech: 10 Kid Entrepreneurs to Watch," which will go live on our site Monday afternoon, after our EconAffinity event in New York. It will look at 10 kids — one as young as 15, and none yet of legal drinking age — who have created companies that in some cases are already bringing in millions of dollars in revenues.
To get a read on which trends are having the biggest impact on new-business creation — and to find out what entrepreneurs need to do to make sure they're set up for the long haul — we talked with three people who have been analyzing and investing in startups for years: George Zachary, a partner at Charles River Ventures; Ben Schachter, formerly an internet analyst at UBS; and Vivek Shah, group president of digital at Time Inc.
Their responses, after the jump.
— George Zachary: Zachary has led Charles River Ventures' investments in startups like SocialMedia.com, GoTV, and, of course, Twitter. Zachary pointed to two developments in tech that had an outsize impact in sparking the Web 2.0 boom: increased use of open-source software and the shift toward "cloud-computing" services (like *Amazon* Web Services). "Startups can create a solid tech base with cheap hardware and a single server; once they get past that, they can rent CPU on demand from Rackspace or work in something like the *Google* App Engine," Zachary said. "That's having a huge impact; it's leveling the playing field because the founders don't have to put in all this money upfront."
— Ben Schachter: Schacter has been asking CEOs the hard questions during earnings calls and investor conferences for about 10 years. (He joined Broadpoint AmTech as its Internet & Video Games analyst earlier this year.) He said it's easier to be an entrepreneur now because service providers like *Akamai* and *Amazon* have made digital content distribution easy and cheap. "There's zero incremental cost for digital goods — whether its a music track, an article or an app — so now anyone can put up a piece of content and sell it to a billion people," he said. "That makes it much easier to start and reach a massive market."
Schachter said the cost benefits extend to tangible goods too, noting that "on-demand" retail startups like CafePress and Zazzle had lower costs than their brick-and-mortar retail counterparts.
— Vivek Shah: Shah has seen publications like Fortune and CNNMoney.com chronicle the rise and fall of many startups. He said the biggest Web-based change has been in "audience accumulation": "Traditionally, entrepreneurs were limited to a few obvious channels if they wanted to accumulate an audience and attract advertisers," he said. "With channels like social media, apps and online video, you have multiple ways to grow a very specific audience very quickly — which is far more attractive from an advertising point of view." Still, Shah said the days of just building an audience around content or a "feature set" were over. "Even a year ago, strategic buyers were interested in acquiring features and audiences," he said. "Now that the market's changed, if you don't have a way to generate positive cash flow, those buyers aren't going to be an exit for you."
The caveat to all this innovation is that it lowers the bar for entry (and competition) across the board. "The startup that utilizes *Amazon* and manages its server costs more efficiently, for example, is going to have the advantage," Schachter said. Zachary agreed. "If you have a good idea, the reality that you

Marissa wanders around her forest, pondering the recent events. Her lover, Brett, had cheated on her with her sister, Lisette. Even so, she tried to forgive him, but two months ago was the most she could take. She had found out that Brett and Lisette had already made plans to marry behind her back. For days, she despaired, until she finally confronted the two. Lisette had betrayed her. So had Brett. And yet the two had the audacity to lie with their eyes wide open. One day, Brett began to notice her changes in behavior. She had become depressed and suspicious of the two. And so he grabbed a length of rope and he and Lisette drowned Marissa together. Now, her regrets tie her to the forest where the two of them had met secretly before. Every day, she sees them shamelessly enjoying each others' company, even though they knew that Marissa's body lay still beneath the waves of the lake. Marissa snaps her head up. Is she imagining things? She could have sworn she heard quiet laughter somewhere in the forest. Time to investigate, she thought to herself. Determined to find the cause, she follows the sound of the laughter through the forest, finally stopping at a clearing where a woman and man were sitting together laughing. On the opposite side of the clearing, two men dressed in white sit on a rock, muttering under their breath. As she enters the clearing, all sound stopped and the four strangers stood, approaching her. She backs away nervously. They had stopped a couple of feet away from her. Then, one of the men dressed in white began to speak.
"Good morning, madam. Is your name Marissa Evans?" he asks quietly. Marissa scrutinizes him for a moment before answering.
"I am. Why do you ask? I am sure I have never seen any of you before." The man smiles.
"Then, Azural, we have found her. My name is Gabriel, an angel from Heaven. This is Azural, one of my fellow angels. He has graciously offered to accompany me on my journey to find you. We have come to offer a chance to come with us to heaven and rest for eternity." The woman with short green hair frowns.
"Well, looks like Heaven is sending competition again. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ira, an incarnation of Wrath. This here is Leviathan, an incarnation of Envy. We've come to offer a chance at revenge. Well, there is a price. Just come with us down to Hell and we can add you to our ranks. In doing so, you'll be able to avenge the betrayal your sister and her little cheater caused." Marissa hesitates.
"I don't know what to choose. I really do want to exact revenge on them, but Lisette is still my sister and Brett is still the man I love." Ira smirks.
"Then how about your would-be friends Mia Lee and Amelia Summers? I'm sure you haven't forgotten how they shunned you after you fell in love with the Adams boy." Leviathan's face twists into a sneer.
"Those girls were so weak. It wasn't hard to drag 'em down with us," he gloats. Ira laughs.
"Too right! Those girls hated you, Evans. Mia hated you to the point of disgust, while Amelia hated you because you had Adams. You sure you don't want that power?" While the conversation goes on, Azural begins to lose his temper.
"Ira and Leviathan, why have you come here? It should be easier to simply drag her forcefully. Why do you try to convince her to become a demon instead of simply bringing her with you? Unless your kind have been rained upon by holy water." Ira's eyes widen slightly, and she quickly turns away.
"O-Of course not! We simply want to increase our numbers!" she defends. Gabriel smiles, however it is not quite kind.
"Ira, tell me this. Has your brother noticed what you are trying to do? If not, I believe you and we, too, shall prepare our forces. If he does, then I will be forced to believe that Hell has been rained over by holy water, as Darcy promised to you all. In any case, I have not come for this reason. Marissa Evans, I have come to offer you a position as a guardian angel. Time and time again, you have forgiven what has been done to you, despite your pain." Marissa flinches. Her forgiveness was simply because she didn't want to believe. She didn't want to acknowledge the fact that Brett and her sister had already been meeting each other behind her back. She never wanted to know. However, fate, in its cruel and unchanging ways, carried on in such a way that she eventually found out. Marissa hesitates again. Who will she choose? There isn't much choice. On one hand, she wants revenge. On the other hand, she has longed for her soul to rest in peace, instead of remembering all of her regrets and feelings of jealousy. Ira sighs.
"This is taking too long. I'll tell you the benefits one more time. We'll let 'prim and proper' here explains his one more time. If you choose us, you'll gain enough power to exact revenge on your ex-friends down in Hell and also on your betraying sister and ex-lover. There's not much to choose from. We're probably the better choice, since on the other side, you don't get anything." Gabriel glares.
"Azural, why don't you explain the benefits of joining us again to Marissa here? You do it much better than me and also, I would much rather deal with these two rule-breakers." Immediately, Leviathan and Gabriel move away in order to fight. However, Marissa is barely aware of that fact. Her mind is reeling from her choices.
"First, you will be able to rest in peace. No more regrets or pain. Second, wandering around takes quite a bit of energy from you. In Heaven as a guardian angel, you will not need to expend much energy traveling. Instead, it will mostly be on training your abilities. You will be assigned a person to watch over once you are prepared. Otherwise, a guardian angel does not have much responsibility." Marissa hesitates once again. Which would be better? In her mind, the two choices begin to go at war with each other. She does not even notice when Ira and Azural growl at each other and begin to fight. It takes a while, but finally, her mind reaches a decision. Her quiet voice stops the battle.
"I will go to Heaven to become a guardian angel," she whispers. "I do not wish to be in pain any longer. I feel as if I have suffered long enough." Ira snarls in frustration. She lunges at Gabriel once more before she turns to Leviathan.
"I will not stay in the presence of these rule-makers. We're leaving, Leviathan." Leviathan complies and the two disappear into green fire. Gabriel smiles warmly at Marissa.
"Welcome to Heaven, then. We shall gladly accept you with open arms, Marissa Evans." With that, he opens his arms and Marissa joins Azural and Gabriel as they arrive at the Gates of Heaven.

Yep, brilliant plane well ahead of its time performance wise. Was known as a bit of a 'hangar queen' though due to the amount of time it spent in them. I believe the fuel tanks used to leak fuel on the ground but expand and seal at mach 3+. Has something called the Aurora replaced it? Rumoured to be hypersonic. Don't know if this is the same thing as Lockheed TR3A 'flying triangle', something else which also crops up.

Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill won't face a felony charge in his January arrest for investigation of domestic violence. The King County Prosecutor's Office said Wednesday the case for a felony charge was legally insufficient to pursue. Prosecutor's office spokesman Dan Donohoe says the case is being referred to the city attorney in Issaquah, the suburb where Hill was arrested. Hill could face possible misdemeanor charges. Hill was arrested shortly after the Seahawks' season ended for investigation of third-degree assault-domestic violence and unlawful imprisonment-domestic violence. Both are felonies. Hill's girlfriend told police she was assaulted numerous times for more than five hours. Hill has spent his entire NFL career in Seattle, but the Seahawks seem ready to move on. Hill became a free agent after the season and Seattle has issued his No. 56 to new defensive end Cliff Avril.

As health care in the United States continues to move toward a patient-centric system, new opportunities are opening up for technology providers.
While drug stores across North America have diversified their mix over the past few years, over-the-counter medications remain at the heart of most every pharmacy retailer's efforts, helping to maintain the drug channel's inherent value as a front-line healthcare provider and the outlet of choice for consumers suffering from a wide range of minor illnesses.
"All providers in the healthcare system should practice to the fullest extent allowed by their license."
While diagnostics may be a $1.1 billion business at retail, the value inherent in that business, especially within the sale of blood-pressure monitors and blood-glucose meters, can be so much more.
"We have a system that needs fixing." That comment on the state of the nation's healthcare system, shared by physician and New York Times correspondent and senior writer Elisabeth Rosenthal, served as the springboard for a high-level summit on the future of health care in the United States. The event drew a who's who of nationally known health experts, scientists and government officials.
"Leading change." That was theme for this year's Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference, held in Washington, D.C., last month at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, from July 23 to 26.
"The consumer healthcare market has experienced a steady stream of mergers and acquisitions in recent years. Some of this has created small ripples — like pebbles being gently tossed into still waters. Then there are the mega-mergers that have had a tsunami-like effect," writes Dave Wendland, Hamacher Resource Group VP, in his latest blog entry.
CVS Caremark on Monday announced that its Accordant Health Services division has received full NCQA Patient and Practitioner Oriented Disease Management accreditation.
While drug stores across North America have diversified their mix over the past few years, over-the-counter medications remain at the heart of most every pharmacy retailer's efforts, helping to maintain the drug channel's inherent value as a front-line healthcare provider and the outlet of choice for consumers suffering from a wide range of minor illnesses.
About 30% of top-performing OTC drugs today were once prescription-only medications, Dave Wendland, VP Hamacher Resource Group, noted during a videocast hosted by GMDC, titled "Rx-to-OTC: Getting it Right at Retail."

First with its iPod, and then with its iPhone and iPad, Apple has successfully introduced the kind of disruptive innovation that has helped redefine whole industries.
Walmart met low second-quarter sales and profit expectations it set for itself, but significantly lowered its full year outlook due to a tepid third-quarter sales forecast and increased e-commerce and healthcare costs.
The majority of Americans report they have had a good year when it comes to their personal health, and are paying more attention to their health compared to just a few years ago, according to From Hope to Cures: PhRMA's Second Annual National Health Survey.
LloydsPharmacy is launching a new healthcare service concept, the Gazette reported Thursday.
Walgreens pulled the trigger on step two of its proposed Alliance Boots merger a full six months early.
ThoughtSpot 2014, AmerisourceBergen and Good Neighbor Pharmacy's annual tradeshow, concluded this weekend after four days of programming focused on helping independent pharmacies navigate industry changes caused by healthcare reform.
Community pharmacists can dramatically help their patients stick to their prescription regimens, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy.
Walgreens said it has exercised its option to complete the second step of its strategic transaction with Alliance Boots ahead of the original option period, which was between February and August 2015.
CVS Caremark's portfolio of enterprise assets is enabling the company to provide innovative solutions and products that are delivering results.
CVS/pharmacy is the first pharmacy in the nation to earn the new Community Pharmacy accreditation from URAC.
Kermit Crawford, Walgreens president of Pharmacy, Health and Wellness, has decided to retire after 31 years with the company.
Recognizing the important role that community pharmacy plays, McKesson has long focused on providing solutions to help pharmacists improve patient adherence and enhance patient outcomes as evidenced by programs and solutions offered through McKesson Patient Relationship Solutions (MPRS). However, the growing understanding of pharmacists' impact on adherence and its importance in today's evolving healthcare landscape has validated pharmacy based solutions as McKesson bolsters its portfolio of tools.
They say the early bird catches the worm, and that was definitely the case as attendees of this year's McKesson ideaShare conference arrived at some early morning continuing education courses last week that were geared toward enhancing the pharmacy as a business and improving patient outcomes.
On the final day of meetings at McKesson's ideaShare 2014 Wednesday morning, Ann Richardson Berkey, McKesson SVP public affairs, reviewed the key political issues impacting pharmacy today — from controlled substances to provider status — and closed the session with an interview with Florida Rep. Matt Hudson, R-District 80.
