Learn how to create stunning motion graphics and animations for video production. Author Ian Robinson explains how to format and animate type with the Transform Glyph tool and explores Motion's real-time 3D tools. The course also covers working in 3D space, creating depth with lights and shadows, keying green screen effects, and working with particle systems. In addition, Ian offers practical advice on integrating Motion into a professional video workflow and explains how to work smarter using rigs and templates.
There are four different kinds of lights you can create within Motion, and they each have their own set of options to help you recreate something that looks more like the real world. The thing to understand with lights, adding them to the scene is only the first part of the process. Usually you want to select all the other objects in the scene and determine how the light is going to bounce off of that object, so you can make things look shiny instead of dull or have shadows instead of no shadows. So let's look at these lights and see some of the different options we can adjust.
The first light that I have set up here is a Point Light, and a Point Light, the easiest way I like to think of it, think of it as something like an empty light bulb in a scene. If you had a lamp and you took the lampshade off, the light would come out in 360 degrees. Well, that's how a Point Light functions. If you press F7 to open up the HUD, you'll notice we have an option for the Color, the Intensity, the Falloff Start and the Falloff. These are pretty common sets of options for all of the lights.
So once I teach this to you once, I'm not going to jump back over again with the other lights. First thing with color, again you try and simulate the real world, so if we change this white light to a kind of blue light, now all of a sudden we can make it look sort of like dusk in the winter time. Intensity just controls the brightness of the light, and the Falloff Start determines how far the light can travel before it starts to decay, so the larger the number the brighter you'll notice the scene.
Now the Falloff is actually how fast that transition actually happens once the Falloff Start occurs. So notice as I adjust the Falloff Start here, as my Falloff is at 100%, it's a very sharp contrast from bright to nothing. This next option is for Shadows. If I turn that on, notice as I move this light around now, these letters are casting shadows. Softness just controls the softness of those shadows.
Now there are some other options. If you press I to open up the Inspector, notice that under Shadows, when I open that up here, there is a setting for uniform softness. Let me magnify this image, just Command+Plus until we're up to 100%. Notice how the shadow almost looks like it's darker up at the top. With Uniform Softness on, what it does, it just blurs the shadow the same all the way across everything, and you want to leave this selected while you're building your animation, so your system doesn't start to lag. But just before you go to output your project, you probably want to deselect Uniform Softness and this will actually create a much more realistic blur to your shadow.
Also, I can adjust the opacity of the shadow, so it doesn't necessarily have to be so dark. And yes, of course, I can adjust how soft the shadow is as a whole and again with Uniform Softness deselected, it will feather that out over the length of the shadow. So let's re-enable Uniform Softness and look at our next light in the scene. I want to disable the point light, and notice the scene just pops up to 100% brightness everywhere. Whenever you add a light--you go up under Object and choose New Light-- whenever one is added to the scene, everything else just kind of changes.
So that Ambient light here, which is the next light we're going to look at, if we look at that right here, you notice the only option is for the Color and the Intensity. Notice there isn't even a light to physically grab in the canvas. That's because this is just controlling all the light in the entire scene all the way around. So if you crank up the Intensity or bring it down, you notice everything is adjusting all at once. These circle shapes have gradients on them, so as I adjust the Intensity, it does look like the shape of the objects are changing. But if I just click on one of these in orbit around here, you'll see these are flattering than a pancake.
Okay, there's no real depth to those objects. I just like using the gradient shading, so it does appear more like a 3D object. Now Ambient light, you typically want to use this to add light throughout the scene after you've added something like a Point Light. See with the Point Light, I've tinted the scene blue, and then the Ambient light, it is just making sure that the rest of the scene has some kind of light going on, just to kind of brighten things up a little bit. So yes, as you have multiple lights, you can mix them together to create different feels.
So for example, the Point Light is blue and if we change the Ambient Light to yellow, now notice--that's kind of a heavily saturated yellow, there we go. If I bring that back over here, you notice now over here the light has turned green. That's because yellow and blue mixed together and make green. So as you mix different colors of lights, you can create all different kinds of looks to your scenes. Now let's disable both of those previous lights and look at the Spotlight.
Spotlight is kind of an interesting. Let me just zoom out the magnification here. Spotlight looks literally just like a light you would have at a theater show. You can adjust, yes, the Color and the Intensity like everything else, the Falloff Start in the Falloff, yes, but the cone angle and the softness of the edge of the angle are really aware the power of the spotlight lies. See, if I bring the Cone Angle down, here I can just illuminate one specific area and if you wide in the Cone Angle, obviously you'll brighten everything else.
The Cone Angle can go from 0 to 90. Let's bring that back down to something a little more manageable, around 20, and if you soften the edge, that's just going to soften the transition. So if you want kind of a sunlight feel, I would use a spotlight, have a really soft edge on it, and then just adjust the color with a slight yellowy orangey tint, depending upon the time of day that you want to create. Notice there are no shadows here. You need to enable Shadows just by clicking this box here and then if you go under Show, notice we have the same options for Shadows here. I can adjust the Shadow Opacity as well as it's Softness just like with the Point Light, so Spot Lights and Point Lights have shadow capabilities.
Now with a light like this that's so yellow, you might want actually tint the shadow, so let's up the Saturation here and tint the shadow in kind of a burnt orange color. Now if we bring the Opacity up here, you can really kind of see that color that that's coming through. Now if we disable the Spotlight, the last light you want to check out is this light here, the Directional Light. If I rotate this light around so you can see it from the profile, notice it's just in open ended cylinder. Okay, it's kind of hard to see.
Let me rotate around here a little bit more. There we go. There you can see the open-ended points. All it's doing is casting light in a direction at 100% intensity forever. So it makes no difference if I pull this light way back away from the objects or even behind the objects, it doesn't matter; this light just shoots light in a direction and that's that. As I mentioned earlier, there are setting options for all of the different objects in the scene.
So once you actually start adding lights and blending them together, you can definitely create some different looks and some more natural feels. But to really start to pop things, you need to start getting into the settings for each of the objects in the scene and how they interpret lights. We will definitely jump into that in our next video.

Bruno Mars Reps Gretsch On Cover Of April's Playboy
Posted: March 28, 2012
Bruno Mars brought out a special green Gretsch G6118 on the cover of the April edition of Playboy, which is on newsstands now.
Mars is only the 10th male to appear on the cover, joining Peter Sellers (April 1964), Burt Reynolds (October 1979), Steve Martin (January 1980), Donald Trump (March 1990), Dan Aykroyd (August 1993), Jerry Seinfeld (October 1993) Leslie Nielsen (February 1996) Gene Simmons, (March 1999) and Seth Rogen (April 2009).
He's also the first to hold a Gretsch guitar.
In a Q&A inside the magazine, Mars picked the legendary Jimi Hendrix when asked if he could play with any musician, dead or alive.
"I think he's the greatest guitar player in the world, and I would want to see him do his thing in person," Mars said. "He's the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place."

How to check the health status of a USB stick? How do I know that a USB is broken beyand repair, or repairable?
migrated from serverfault.com Jan 9 '12 at 4:16
This question came from our site for system and network administrators.
There is no way to query a USB memory stick for SMART-like parameters; I'm not aware of any memory sticks which support doing so even via publicly-available proprietary software. The best you can do is to check that you can successfully read+write to the entire device using
You want to specify one of the write tests, which will wipe all data on the stick; make a backup first.
Find the device by looking at
If the stick is formatted with a valid filesystem, you may have to
Example syntax, for a USB stick enumerated as /dev/sdz, outputting progress information, with a data-destructive write test and error log written to usbstick.log:
You'll need to repartition and reformat the stick afterwards, assuming it passes; this test will wipe everything on the stick. Any failures indicate a failure of the device's memory controller, or it has run out of spare blocks to remap failed blocks. In that case, no area of the device can be trusted.
It depends on the failure mode, I suppose. They're cheap for a reason.
As a USB device, watching the bus via device manager in Windows or the output of dmesg in Linux will tell you if the device is even recognized as being plugged in. If it isn't, then either the controller on board or the physical connections are broken.
If the device is recognized as being plugged in, but doesn't get identified as a disk controller (and I don't know how that could happen, but...) then the controller is shot.
If it's recognized as a disk drive, but you can't mount it, you might be able to repair it via fdisk and rewrite the partition table, then make another filesystem.
If you're looking for the equivalent of S.M.A.R.T., then you won't find it. Thumbdrive controllers are cheap. They're commodity storage, and not meant to have the normal failsafes and intelligence that modern drives have.
Via [ubuntu] Error Check USB Flash Drive, I eventually found this, which could be helpful:
Addendum by @pbhj: F3 is in the Ubuntu repos. It has two part, f3write writes 1GB files to the device and f3read attempts to read them afterwards. This way capacity and ability to write and effectively read data are tested.
USB drives are pretty rudimentary, there's not a lot that can go wrong on them! Generally, if it shows up as a drive and you can format it then it works. You could try having a look at the Portable version of CrystalDiskInfo as that's a quick lightweight analysing tool. Very few USB sticks report back S.M.A.R.T. info and the like though.

we've got signatures, help us get to 100,000
In a land mark ruling yesterday, Justice Stephen Isaacs ordered the import permits of the dolphins revoked, the dolphins moved to an appropriate area, and that the land be restored! This judgement does not come into effect for 6 weeks in which time the government is likely to appeal. Huge step forward for dolphins Thank you everyone for signing and sharing! Please continue to share!
We have been granted permission to commence Judicial Review proceedings on this issue. Please do the dolphins a huge favour and let's get out 100,000 signatures! Thank you!!!
We now have almost 69,000 signatures on our petition. Thank you all!
Can we ask you to please email or share our petition to help us stop dolphin abuse in The Bahamas?
Thanks again, Sam & Sonya
We want to put an end to the exploitation of this species. Our objection is based upon the premise that captive marine mammal facilities are out-dated, inhumane, and anti conservationist in practice.
The building of two new marine mammal facilities has been preliminarily approved in The Bahamas. Neither of these projects was made public. This is wrong for The Bahamas, and wrong for the international health of dolphin populations worldwide.
It is critical that we express our objection to these facilities and any future marine mammal facilities in The Bahamas. Please sign the petition today.
Dear Minister Gray,
We, the undersigned, appeal to you, the Minister responsible for Marine Mammal issues in The Bahamas to put an end to the exploitation of dolphins and deny approval for the Blackbeards Cay and Grand Bahama Marine Mammal entertainment zoos.
Neither facility was made public, nor was any public consultation invited. We feel very strongly, that this is wrong for The Bahamas, and wrong for the international health of dolphin populations worldwide.
We write to express our unequivocal objection to these facilities and to any future marine mammal facilities being created in the Bahamas. Our objection is based upon the premise that captive marine mammal facilities are out dated, inhumane, and anti conservationist in practice.
We seek governmental support in preventing any future dolphin facilities in The Bahamas.
In conclusion we appeal to you to enact legislation that:
- prohibits the opening of any additional marine mammal facility in The Bahamas
- prohibits any live marine mammal captures in our waters
- prohibits all marine mammal facility breeding programs going forward
- prohibits any future imports or exports of marine mammals to The Bahamas
- looks to a tiered closure of all marine mammal facilities in The Bahamas with a plan to house retired dolphins in a sanctuary funded by the very industry that has benefitted from their enslavement for decades.
[Your Name]

I. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to systems which utilize memory array architectures. More specifically, the invention relates to a system and method for an improved sense amplifier architecture.
II. Description of the Related Art
Electronic systems typically store data during operation in a memory device. Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is very popular as a data storage device for such systems. Basically, a DRAM is an integrated circuit that stores data in binary form (e.g., "1" or "0") in a large number of cells. The data is stored in a cell as a charge on a capacitor located within the cell. Typically, a high logic level is approximately equal to the power supply voltage and a low logic level is approximately equal to ground.
The cells of a conventional DRAM are arranged in an array so that individual cells can be addressed and accessed. The array can be thought of as rows and columns of cells. Each row includes a word line that interconnects cells on the row with a common control signal. Similarly, each column includes a digit line that is coupled to at most one cell in each row. Thus, the word and digit lines can be controlled so as to individually access each cell of the array.
To read data out of a cell, the capacitor of a cell is accessed by selecting the word line associated with the cell. A complementary digit line that is paired with the digit line for the selected cell is equilibrated to an equilibrium voltage. This equilibration voltage (Veq) is typically midway between the high Vcc and low Vss (typically ground) logic levels. Thus, conventionally, the digit lines are equilibrated to one-half of the power supply voltage, VCC/2. When the word line is activated for the selected cell, the capacitor of the selected cell discharges the stored voltage onto the digit line, thus changing the voltage on the digit line.
Referring to
An input/output device for the array, typically an n-channel transistor 240, 242, passes the voltage on the digit line 102, 104 or 106, 108 for the selected cell to an input/output line 244, 246 for communication to, for example, a processor of a computer or other electronic system associated with the DRAM. In a write operation, data is passed from the input/output lines 244, 246 to the digit lines 102, 104, 106, 108 by the input/output device 240, 242 of the array for storage on the capacitor in the selected cell.
Each of the components of a memory device are conventionally formed as part of an integrated circuit. To more effectively use the area of the integrated circuit, the memory array may include sub-arrays which may have sense amplifier circuitry shared amongst the sub arrays. In such memory devices, the sub-arrays are coupled to the sense amplifier 110 through isolation transistors 202, 204, 206, 208, typically n-channel transistors. The n-channel isolation transistors 202, 204, 206, 208, selectively couple the sense amplifier 110 to the digit lines 106 and 108 or 102 and 104 for a data reading or writing operation, as is well known in the art.
The above arrangement of shared sense amplifiers is illustrated on a higher level in FIG. 2 and is commonly referred to as an interleaved folded scheme. In this scheme digit pairs (e.g., two digit lines) are interleaved and run next to each other inside a sub-array 112, 114. Each digit pair forms a true and complement combination which is read by and written to by a sense amplifier 110. Each of the digits lines, e.g. 102, of a pair, e.g. 102, 104, is coupled to a memory cell of a sub-array, each cell including a capacitor connected through an access transistor to the digit line. Referring to
Another known memory cell arrangement is known as 6F**2 cells. The 6F**2 cells are different from the 8F**2 cells in that for an interleaved folded scheme a sense amplifier 110 must fit into the width of two (2) digit lines rather than within the space of four (4) digit lines as are used with 8F**2 cells. While 6F**2 memory cells can be utilized with the same sense amplifier layout shown in
The present invention relates to a sense amplifier layout for use with 6F**2 memory cells. The layout uses an open digit architecture where digit lines fed from each adjacent sub array do not share sense amplifiers. This open digit architecture utilizes a perpendicular orientation of the sense amplifier length with respect to the digit lines. This layout allows for an efficient memory array system using 6F**2 memory cells, while avoiding the complexities of implementing an interleaved folded scheme for 6F**2 memory cells.
The foregoing and other advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of exemplary embodiments provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Referring now to the drawings, where like reference numerals designate like elements,
Referring to
Since the sense amplifiers 110 are arranged perpendicular to the digit lines 102, 104, extra interconnect spaces become available parallel to the digit lines 102, 104. The extra interconnect spaces may be used for control signals, power strapping, or local interconnection for other devices.
Referring to
Although the invention has been described as providing benefits for arrays having 6F**2 memory cell arrangements, the present invention may also be used for 8F**2 memory arrays and others.
Accordingly, it is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative of the invention and not restrictive. Many variations, modifications and substitutions for the structures described and illustrated herein will be readily apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art. The present invention is not to be considered as limited by the specifics of the described and illustrated embodiment, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.

Looking for a list of perennial plants other than sedums, that will tolerate winter rock salt, so far sedums are the only one that I have found. I want to plant perennials beside my walkway into my home. I have tried minature roses, speedwell, and a few others they end up dying come the spring. This area faces the south east and gets morning to early afternoon sun.
Hi, LaurieB!
Sorry for the delay! If you google "perennial salt tolerant plants" there are a few hits that come up that could be of use. I recommend asking your local gardening centre, as well. You could write down some of the web suggestions and see what they say at the centre as they'd have a good idea.
Good luck and let us know what you end up going with.

HONOLULU (AP) — Security screeners at a Honolulu courthouse noticed something moving inside a defendant's bag as it passed through an X-ray machine earlier this week.
After initially refusing to open it, the bag's owner reluctantly revealed that his pet was inside. When he opened the bag, screeners found a live duck and a bottle of beer, Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Toni Schwartz said.
Screeners told Michael Hubbard that his pet and beverage wouldn't be allowed inside Circuit Court, so he left. He returned a short while later and asked that screeners look after his belongings while he went inside for an appointment, Schwartz said, adding that visitors are allowed to leave their things outside at their own risk.
Hubbard went to his appointment, while the duck waited outside. Hawaii News Now reports Hubbard has two felony assault cases pending. He couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.
Schwartz said Hubbard didn't appear intoxicated. "Everything was peaceful," she said.
"We recommend people not bring their pets to court," she said. "Believe it or not this is not an unusual occurrence. A lot of people try to bring their pets to court."
But those pets are usually dogs.
"A duck is unusual," she said. "I don't think we've come across that one before."

Thinking of Answers Questions in the Philosophy of Everyday Life
written by A C Grayling
Bloomsbury | ISBN 9781408809532
Paperback – 352 pages
Member's price: $22.50
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
The essays in this book, drawn mainly from A. C. Grayling's columns in Prospect, the Dubliner and The Times, are in fact responses to questions set by editors and readers. If beauty existed only in the eye of the beholder, would that make it an unimportant quality? Are human rights political? Can ethics be derived from evolution by natural selection? If both sides in a conflict can passionately believe that theirs is the just cause, does this mean that the idea of justice is empty? Does being happy make us good? And does being good make us happy? Are human beings especially prone to self-deception? As in his previous books of popular philosophy, including the best-selling The Reason of Things and The Meaning of Things, rather than presenting a set of categorical answers Grayling offers instead suggestions for how to think about every aspect of a question, and arrive at one's own conclusions. As a result Thinking of Answers is both an enjoyable and inspirational collection.

Alden Research Laboratory Inc. has acquired the AECOM hydraulic engineering and modeling laboratory in Redmond, HydroWorld.com has learned.
Alden, based in Holden, Mass., says the acquisition creates the largest commercial hydraulic engineering laboratory system in North America.
"This transaction will establish Alden's presence on both coasts and will enable us to better serve the growing hydraulic design and flow modeling market by bringing together two companies with extensive capabilities and complementary cultures," says Alden President Stuart Cain.
The lab was founded by Charles "Chick" Sweeney in 1978 and has since worked to optimize hydraulic structures and fish passage systems associated with hydroelectric power generation. The lab says it works closely with municipal utilities, federal agencies and hydroelectric power utilities in the Pacific Northwest.
AECOM acquired the facility in 2005, which was formerly known as the ENSR hydraulics lab.
"It's a win-win-win arrangement," Sweeney says. "I am very excited about the evolution of the laboratory, as both teams get to draw on each other's knowledge base, and our clients will have much more to bear on their challenging projects."
Alden says the acquisition is part of its geographical expansion plan. The company opened an office in Fort Collins, Colo., in 2009, and established a presence in Portland, Ore., in 2011.

The Discovery Expedition's arrival at Fort Mandan in the winter of 2004 was decidedly less harmonious.
As with most of its stops along the trail, the customary crowd had gathered to greet the re-enactors and snap photos.
"There was this woman standing on the front of the boat with one foot on the gangplank and one foot on the bow of the boat," Mandrell recounts. "The river was raging. It was not good."
Crew members, concerned the woman might fall, asked her to step back. Mandrell says that when she ignored the warnings, he ordered her to get off.
"She took her camera down, smiles at me smugly, and then starts taking pictures again," Mandrell says. "I walked over [after she got off] and said, 'I don't know who you are, but that was exceedingly rude. I hope those pictures don't appear in print, because I'm not giving you authorization to use those photos.'"
Bad move. Mandrell later learned that the woman ran the local newspaper, and that her husband had contributed to the local heritage association. When Mandrell returned home for the winter break, he met with the Discovery Expedition's board, which urged him to apologize. He refused. Executive director Larry McClain and another board member invited Mandrell out for a drink and lowered the boom.
"They said, 'We're not sure we're going to renew your membership,'" Mandrell recalls. "I just laughed at the absurdity of it. I was at the table when we incorporated as a 501(c)3 before either of these guys had even heard of the Discovery Expedition. I said, 'Well, I guess I'll have to go on without you.'
"Larry McClain flew into a rage and said, 'You'll never be on the trail again!'"
Mandrell ordered another beer. "These guys were idiots."
Larry McClain declines to comment about the split. "I'd rather focus on the positive," the executive director says. "People have different visions. They have different dreams, and Scott's group grabbed the spirit of the trail in a different way."
Sniffs one Discovery corps member: "Let's just say there was a personality conflict. [Mandrell] had a lack of people skills and was asked not to return."
In the spring of 2005, when Discovery Expedition returned to Fort Mandan to pick up the trail, Mandrell arrived with a rival crew.
"The silliness started right away," says Churchill Clark, as he describes a camp-out on the shores of Lake Sacagawea. "Those guys came in and camped below us. Some of our friends [from Discovery Expedition] snuck up to see us they were told they were forbidden to see us. These were grown men!"
Tempers soon flared on the Idaho-Montana border, when First Squad disrupted one of Discovery Expedition's flag-raising ceremonies on Lost Trail Pass.
"We came riding into camp on horseback, and here they come riding in their cars. My cousin is getting dressed in the parking lot,'" Churchill Clark says scornfully. "I asked him how the trip was going. He said, 'All right,' and walked away."
When Discovery's two principals stepped up and introduced themselves as Lewis and Clark, Mandrell came forward and said he was Meriwether Lewis. A shouting match ensued.
"We could've arranged it better," Churchill Clark allows.
Bud Clark calls the encounter an isolated incident.
"We haven't butted heads on the trail. If anyone said that, it isn't true," says Clark, who's a dead ringer for distant cousin Churchill (if you age the latter 20 years). "The only time we had a real confrontation was on Lost Trail Pass, and it was all their doing.
"Certain individuals behaved in an unacceptable, intrusive and despicable manner during a color ceremony. And that's as much as I'm going to say about this, because I'm not into media jousting. I'm not going there," he concludes.
But members of First Squad say mutual animosity dogged the fractured expeditions from then on. They paint their Discovery counterparts as a crew of aged peacocks, eager for the glory of the trail but unwilling to endure the slightest hardship.
"It increasingly became an old guys' club. They want to dress up and get patted on the back for something people did 200 years ago, but they never really do it themselves," Mandrell scoffs.
Discovery crew members dismiss Mandrell's claims as mere braggadocio.
"That's their only out," says Norm Bowers, a steely ex-Army Ranger. "The long and the short of it is that there were a lot of folks who were relieved to have them gone. Whatever you call it, rustic or a re-enactment I don't think coming out of a canoe in a flyfishing outfit is very rustic, no matter what they may think."
First Squad-ers say that after Lost Trail Pass, Bud Clark attempted to sabotage them by badmouthing them to park rangers and law enforcement officials. While on horseback in the Lolo Mountains, they say, a "cop" stopped them.
"[The cop] says, 'I heard you guys were trouble,'" says Churchill Clark. "And then he says we can proceed but that we can't set up any tables or give any presentations. Now, I wonder who could've tipped him off?"

We all want to be loved, don't we?
Well, no. There are people in the world who don't care about love. They don't even know what love is. But they do care about power, control and sex.
These people are called sociopaths. The media would have us believe that a sociopath is a deranged serial killer. This isn't true. Sociopaths know exactly what they are doing, and most of them never kill anyone. But they are social predators, who exploit just about everyone they meet. They have no heart, no conscience and no remorse.
To meet them, however, you'd never know it. They're fun. Charming. The life of the party. They sweep us off our feet. They specialize in the whirlwind romance. Unfortunately, sooner or later, the whirlwind turns on us.
You'd think that at our age, we've already seen everything and met every type of person. But it's possible that we've never before been targeted by a sociopath. If we find ourselves widowed or divorced after a long marriage, however, it could happen. All of a sudden, after many years as half of a couple, we're on our own—perhaps with a home, a business, an inheritance, and a big, fat retirement account.
We are ripe to be plucked. And believe me, because of my website, Lovefraud.com, I've heard some truly heartbreaking stories of newly single women who have given all their assets to beaus who appeared out of nowhere. I've been contacted by the adult children of these women, who are positive that the guy is a con artist, but Mom is in love and won't listen.
We're especially vulnerable if we've had a good marriage. We naturally assume that the next man we meet will be as considerate and reliable as our husband was. It could be a very dangerous assumption.
If your new romantic interest exhibits all or most of the following behaviors, be careful. He might be a sociopath with a hidden agenda—taking you for all you're worth.
1. Charisma and charm. They're smooth talkers, always have an answer, never miss a beat. They seem to be very exciting.
2. Enormous ego. They act like the smartest, richest or most successful people around. They may actually come out and tell you that.
3. Overly attentive. They call, text and e-mail constantly. They want to be with you every moment. They resent time you spend with your family and friends.
4. Jekyll and Hyde personality. One minute they love you; the next minute they hate you. Their personality changes like flipping a switch.
5. Blame others. Nothing is ever their fault. They always have an excuse. Someone else causes their problems.
6. Lies and gaps in the story. You ask questions, and the answers are vague. They tell stupid lies. They tell outrageous lies. They lie when they'd make out better telling the truth.
7. Intense eye contact. Call it the predatory stare. If you get a chill down your spine when they look at you, pay attention.
8. Move fast. They quickly proclaim that you're their true love and soul mate. They want to move in together or get married quickly.
9. Pity play. They appeal to your sympathy. They want you to feel sorry for their abusive childhood, psychotic ex, incurable disease or financial setbacks.
10. Sexual magnetism. If you feel intense attraction, if your physical relationship is unbelievable, it may be their excess testosterone.
Donna Andersen is the author of Love Fraud—How marriage to a sociopath fulfilled my spiritual plan. She is also the author of Lovefraud.com, a website that teaches people how to recognize and recover from sociopaths.

Advisory board seeks changes to solicitation law
An advisory group has urged the City Council to alter its roadside solicitation ordinance to allow panhandlers to approach cars "upon invitation" in more places than the city currently allows.
The practical effect of the request would be to rescind a rule the council adopted late in 2012 that said panhandlers can work only on sidewalks. It barred them from medians and from the sides of non-sidewalk highway interchanges like the one at U.S. 15-501 and Interstate 40.
Now, members of the Homeless Services Advisory Committee agree the council should backtrack, save on the ban on the use of medians.
Its proposal, endorsed by committee members on Wednesday, would allow solicitations provided the people making them avoid walking in front of vehicles and only ask when a vehicle is stopped at a traffic signal or stop sign.
Committee Vice Chairman John Bowman said the recommendation also stresses the need for an invitation from a solicitation's intended target, be it via eye contact, a nod or some other sign.
The point of that is to discourage "aggressive panhandling," he said.
One committee member, Assistant County Manager Drew Cummings, questioned the invitation language on Wednesday. He termed it a "squishy concept" that could prove difficult to enforce.
"Whether one has been given a signal adequate or clear enough to approach a car is a difficult one for anyone to assess," Cummings said. "I'm trying to imagine if aggressive panhandling would ever be enforceable."
But Durham County Sheriff's Office Capt. Stan Harris said a scenario involving a solicitor walking down a line of cars, knocking on doors or windows to get the attention of their occupants, would clearly run afoul of the wording of the proposed revision.
The committee also endorsed a broader set of policy recommendations that included what Bowman described as a call to "decriminalize" violations of the soliciting by handling them through a new "community life court."
The idea is modeled on a program in Orange County, where prosecutors defer low-level charges if the person targeted by them agrees to seek counseling and other social services.
Homeless Services committee members delved into the issue after the City Council began fielding complaints about the existing rules, which went into effect in January.
Critics of the ordinance alleged city leaders in passing it were trying to "criminalize poverty" and that the new rules had barred panhandlers from the most lucrative places to seek donations.
The opposition was spearheaded by Carolyn Shuldt, an Apex preacher who leads Open Table Ministries, and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, found of Walltown's Rutba House ministry.
But a separate criticism, voiced most prominently by Urban Ministries Executive Director Patrice Nelson, was that city officials hadn't asked the Homeless Services Advisory Committee to weigh in last year before the council approved the no-medians rule.
Wednesday's recommendation will also be making its way to the Durham County Commissioners, as the county also regulates solicitations and does so in a way that's much more restrictive than the city.
County law prohibits asking the operator of a motor vehicle for money when the vehicle is in a road right of way. That applies everywhere in Durham County outside the city limits.
It's to the city's "credit we had an ordinance that allowed solicitation," Bowman said. "The county doesn't."

Collier Commission: Henning to call for settlements in mobile home park, airport lawsuits
When Collier County commissioners meet Tuesday, there will be one new face and a possible realignment of political loyalties.
And if Commissioner Tom Henning has his way, work will also begin to end two lawsuits the county is engaged in.
Hoping to "stop prosecuting citizens on frivolous court cases" and have "better working relations with the citizens we serve," Henning is asking commissioners to support directing County Attorney Jeff Klatzkow to work on settlements.
The first lawsuit is a years-long battle between Jerry and Kimberlea Blocker over the proper zoning use for a mobile home park they own in Immokalee. The second is a lawsuit filed this year by Stephen Fletcher, owner of Fletcher's Flying Service, against Collier County Airport Authority Executive Director Chris Curry and Immokalee Airport Manager Thomas Vergo.
The executive summary for Henning's request to settle with the Blockers said the objective is to "stop prosecuting citizens on frivolous court cases."
Both lawsuits involve constituents in newly-elected Commissioner Tim Nance's district. He said he has not spent much time thinking about the lawsuits or whether the county should bring an end to them. Still, he said lawsuits between the county and citizens or businesses are regrettable.
"We need to minimize these things," he said.
Nance would not discuss how he would vote on Henning's requests, saying he wanted to hear what everyone had to say before making a decision. But just his presence on the commission could mean more openness to settling the lawsuits.
Nance's predecessor, Jim Coletta, supported fighting the Blockers, saying their mobile home park is not conducive to "safe, healthy living" and that housing in Immokalee needs to be brought to an acceptable standard.
"It's a shame," Coletta said of Henning's request. "Who's going to be the losers? The people of Immokalee. But I knew when I lost the election, they would try to settle them."
The Blockers and the county have been in a dispute since 2006 about the correct use for their mobile home park, which is in the 1100 block of Alachua Street.
At issue is whether the Blockers can operate the park in an industrial zone. The county says no and has fined the couple about $1 million. The Blockers say the property, which has been a mobile home park since the 1960s, was grandfathered in and they have the right to continue to operate it as a mobile home park.
The Collier Code Enforcement Board concluded in April 2006, that the property did not have the proper zoning. A Collier judge denied the Blockers' appeal of the board's decision in 2010.
Henning reviewed the case and the Immokalee Master Plan with former Collier planning commissioner Mark Strain, who concluded that the Immokalee future land-use map industrial zoning for the Blockers' property also allows for commercial uses, according to the executive summary.
The request asks that the settlement be brought back to the commissioners for consideration within 30 days.
Attempts to reach Jerry Blocker for comment were unsuccessful.
Henning would also like commissioners to agree to settle a lawsuit brought by Fletcher against Collier County Airport employees. The objective, according to his executive summary, is "better working relations with the citizens we serve."
Fletcher, a tenant at the Immokalee airport, sued Curry and Vergo in March, seeking a permanent injunction against them. The suit "seeks to restrain" Vergo and Curry from "harassing, abusing, injuring or otherwise violating" Fletcher's rights.
The complaint alleges that Curry and Vergo have undertaken "an unjustified campaign of harassment" against Fletcher and his business; that he was subjected to "unfair and excessive fuel flow charges;" and that Fletcher's driving privileges were improperly revoked on the airport property by Curry, among other things.
The suit is set for a hearing on Dec. 18, according to Collier County Clerk records.
Henning's request puzzled Curry, who said Friday that Klatzkow's office doesn't have the authority to settle the lawsuit, because another attorney is handling the case. He also contends he and Vergo did nothing wrong.
In April, the commissioners voted 3-2 to hire an attorney with aviation experience to represent Curry and Vergo. Henning and Commissioner Georgia Hiller dissented. Klatzkow said he could negotiate a settlement for the county, but added that all parties would have to be willing to settle.
Attempts to reach Fletcher were unsuccessful.

It was the general consensus of the The City of Georgetowns Architectural Review Board Monday, during a short discussion, that some procedural tweaking needed to take place to facilitate routine projects.
It is a real handicap for the owners and architects to wait 45 days when a minor problem presents itself, board member Jean Rothrock said.
We need to find a way to assist the citizens of Georgetown, and cut down on the wait time for approval, especially when it is something that city staff could approve, said Chairman Jerry Miller, who asked the board members to check their calendars and report back with possible dates they would be available for a workshop on the issue.
The board approved a request for a change in materials to a handicapped ramp on Front Street, and members called for a special workshop to expedite approvals for similar minor projects.
In the only business action item on Monday evenings agenda, the board approved a request by Dr. Mike McGinnis for a change in materials for a handicapped ramp at 624 Front St.
The house at the location, built in 1920, is planned for use as a dentists office.
After recusing himself from consideration of the issue as a board member, project architect Dwayne Vernon explained the need for the change in materials to the board.
Seeking the advice of city staff, the board turned to Janet Grant with the Department of Housing and Community Development. Grant said the project had been reviewed by city staff and was recommended for approval.
The board, with member H.E. Bonnoitt Jr. absent, voted unanimously to approve the change.

I have been going for almost 14 years. It is one of New Yorks hidden gems . The paella is authentic rustic . The atmosphere is not pretentious by any stretch, it is by no means fancy but what character and warmth. I often send friends when they come to visit and they can't believe how good the food is. Upon being seated you are given food . I won't say what it's a surprise . But if you are a lover of Spanish cuisine and you desire a hearty meal over fancy and looking for a slice after you walk out of a restaurant after dinner, you can't go wrong with Spain.

I've been coming to this Spain since I was a child. Love the food and service...
Posted by Michael on 11/17/2011
I have been a patron here for years. This place is a hidden gem in NYC. The food is outstanding, the staff are genuine. If you are looking for a fancy place then don't eat here but if you want a real taste of Spain then this place is for you. Hidden in New Yorks west side on 13th street it is a place you have to try.

One of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I have ever had. From the moment we entered the restaurant, the old man who works there was abusive and rude. He sat us down in the bar area without asking, and then got angry with us when we told him we wanted to order food. He then rudely moved us to another section of the restaurant. Both him and the wait staff kept trying to push my friends and I to buy alcohol even after I informed them that I am pregnant! The food was subpar. The complimentary salad was dressed with barbecue sauce, the lamb ribs were overly salty, the mussels were too vinegary. My cocktail shrimp were not deveined! The paella was an overcooked, mushy mess. There was no toilet paper in the restroom and there was a BAR of soap to wash your hands with. So unsanitary! Don't come here unless you enjoy getting berated.
Posted by Alberto Fernandez on 06/07/2011
Since my first visit in 1982 through today, Spain has remained one of my favorite tucked away prizes in NYC. The cuisine reminds me of growing up in Madrid, always authentic and true to the flavors of days gone by. The decor is reflective of the theme- simple, not ornate, well presented and consistently pleasant. I recommend Spain to all, and have been for the better part of 30 years now....

What a great place! The sangria, both white and red, was the best I've ever had. Before you even look at your menu, you have bread, salad and FOUR appetizers on your table. The Paella was to die for, and very large quantities. We ordered one other dish for four people, two who are big eaters, and we had food left over. Can't wait to eat here again.
Posted by anuman on 05/07/2010
way back in the 80s i was brought to this restaurant by a friend and I was delighted with the food- the appetizers were on the house: a large plate of salted grilled ribs and salad. we had zarzuela de mariscos - a seafood medley among other things but what I remember most was the polite service and respect the establishment had for the staff. when the dinner crowd left they all sat down and ate family style at the next table

The unbelievable strength a dust devil packed ripped the roof right off the gym of a Los Alamos school.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 got a firsthand look of the damage at Barranca Mesa Elementary School.
Wednesday afternoon, there was green tape blocking off the front doors of the building because it is closed for extreme repair.
Call it a dust devil or an unbelievably strong gust of wind, but those who were there at the time say they have never seen anything like it.
Dawn Marie Shipley was inside with all the other teachers when she says everything started shaking.
"Things started blowing off my walls," Shipley said.
"We started moving to doorways and stuff thinking it might have been an earthquake, then I looked out the front window and saw the wind just whipping around like crazy I said, get back in the gym," another teacher described.
The doors blew wide open, teachers said, and a hallway turned into one big wind tunnel of dirt.
In the front parking lot, it also shattered the glass on the rear windows of more than a half dozen cars.
And no more than 15 or 20 yards right across the street, a gigantic pine tree was completely uprooted.
"It looked like Wizard of Oz with the chunks floating around," Shipley said.
Superintendent Gene Schmidt says the roof came collapsing down in the area where the youngest students usually play. But with how bad it looks, Schmidt said, he is thankful it was not any worse.
"Everybody's standing and what a relief that is because I'm thinking, everybody's okay, I'm thinking, the quantity of debris and everybody standing, it was a disconnect because you're thinking, how is that possible."
Experts with the National Weather Service checked the radar around 1:15 p.m., when the incident occurred, and said it appeared completely clear in that area. The strongest wind gust registered around that time was about 40 miles per hour.
School is closed Thursday and Friday.

A great number of innovations characterize Claber range of sprinklers to satisfy every garden watering requirement. Oscillating Sprinklers have the new stunning design of the outer housing in weather resistant, ABS plastic and new turbine motor complete with new non-wear gears, while the rotary sprinklers have special offset jets that create pleasant water games with a light rain effect. Pulsating sprinklers are specifically designed for watering large distance, from 0° to 360° and without any lateral dispersal.
Easy to set oscillating sprinkler with 5 preset water settings provides uniform coverage for lawns or gardens. The eight end nozzles (4 on each end) of the spray bar can be shut off for even more narrow coverage and sprinkler arm is removable for inspection and/or cleaning of the sprinkler. The unit is complete with hydraulic motor and self-lubricating, non-wearing acetal resin gears. Large diameter turbine offers high performance even with low water pressure. Works effectively with water pressure as low as 14.5 psi up to 58 psi.
Area Coverage up to 3,445 sq. ft. (63 ft x 55 ft)
We used this in our garden while our seeds were in the ground and into them becoming small sprouts. The sprinkler works great. You are able to turn off the side sprayers which is nice in smaller areas.Review by Kim (on 5/30/12)

After being accepted to the Berklee College of Music class of 2014 for guitar, I can say that without David's knowledge of music and ability to teach, this dream would not have been possible. David is a natural teacher and knows how to advance a student without overloading him or, in a case that has become prevalent in music education, diminish the student's interest in the music itself. The learning environment he creates is always professional and never feels sterile or overbearing. David is a gifted musician himself and is sure to inspire students at all skill levels. I cannot recommend him enough.

Each year New Orleans' magazine, Gambit, picks 40 New Orleanians under the age of 40 to honor and pay homage to those that make the city a better place through the arts, business, charities, and the like. We are proud to announce that New Orleans Music Lessons' voice teacher, Dody Nolan, has been awarded such an honor this year.
When Dody Nolan's first-grade choir teacher prompted the class for a volunteer to sing a song, she probably didn't expect a 6-year-old to rattle off a full song from a musical. "I sang 'Castle on a Cloud' from Les Miserables," Nolan says. [...] She also performs as a Victory Belle at the National World War II Museum and at Cafe Giovanni, as well as cantoring at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, Divine Mercy Catholic Church and St. Louis Cathedral. Last summer, Nolan spent two weeks at SpringboardNYC, a highly selective program sponsored by the American Theatre Wing. more...

Future looking bright for Siena Heights theater studentWritten by John Dorsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Lucas Wells will soon be singing a different tune. The Lambertville, Mich., resident was recently cast as an ensemble member/understudy in the national tour of the Tony Award-Winning musical "Spring Awakening."
Wells landed the gig by first creating an audition video, singing Ashley Parker Angel's "Soundtrack to Your Life" to the show's creative staff. About a month later the show's casting director called and invited him to audition on Broadway. After seven auditions over a four-day period, Wells was offered a spot in the cast for the play's first national tour
Wells, who just completed his sophomore year as a theater/speech and communications major at Siena Heights University, began acting in high school.
"The only reason I auditioned for my first production because they were doing a play that was a favorite of my mother's," Wells said.
The 2006 graduate of Bedford High School has since appeared in productions of "Footloose", "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", "Into the Woods" and in the Croswell Opera House's upcoming production of "Titanic," which is set to run June 13-15 and 19-22.
In addition to being cast in "Spring Awakening," Wells was recently signed by Nancy Carson of the Carson-Adler Talent Agency.
"I asked one of my teachers about how you go about getting an agent and he made a call for me to his agent and I ended up getting signed. So much is happening right now, I don't know what my future is going to hold, particularly as far as school is concerned. Right now I've decided to continue taking classes online. Both my family and everyone at Siena Heights have been so supportive."
Wells recently made the move to New York, where he plans to aggressively pursue a number of audition opportunities. He will be on tour with "Spring Awakening" for a full year. Rehearsals will begin in July. The play is set to open in San Francisco in September and then move to different venues around the country, as well as dates in Toronto.
"This is been something I've wanted for a long time, but I never really thought of doing musical theater as a career choice, mainly because I didn't think it was a realistic possibility, but here I am getting to start my career. I feel like I've gotten to achieve something already at such a young age that almost nobody gets to."

Google has chosen to honor Earth Day 2014 with a Google Doodle of a Rufous Hummingbird. We can hardly think of a better choice.The Rufous Hummingbird is a brilliant bird, orange in the male, orange and green in the female. When you see one, at a glance, you might say to yourself, "Oh, it's just another hummingbird (as if there could be such a thing)." But then you realize that it's not just any hummingbird. No, you're seeing something unique: a Rufous Hummingbird on its way north. Savor that moment. Right now, the Rufous Hummingbirds are passing through California on their way from Central Mexico where they winter, to the Pacific Northwest and Canada where they breed. The Rufous Hummingbird has a strange migration, because it doesn't necessarily come back the way it came. While it will go northward along the coast, it typically comes back southward through Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico. So get a good look in the spring while you can. (photo by USFWS)
