When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Buildi...

As-a-service models offer huge opportunities, but also complicate security. It may seem that the easiest way to migrate to a new architectural model is to let others, experts in their field, do the work. This has given rise to many as-a-service models throughout the industry and across the entire technology stack, from software to infrastructure. While this has unlocked huge opportunities to accelerate the deployment of new capabilities or increase economic efficiencies within an organization, i...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Secure Cloud through Automated Compliance | @CloudExpo @CloudRaxak #Cloud #BigData #DevOps #Microservices
Cloud computing delivers on-demand resources that provide businesses with flexibility and cost-savings. The challenge in moving workloads to the cloud has been the cost and complexity of ensuring the initial and ongoing security and regulatory (PCI, HIPAA, FFIEC) compliance across private and public clouds. Manual security compliance is slow, prone to human error, and represents over 50% of the cost of managing cloud applications. Determining how to automate cloud security compliance is critical...

sweet...thanks ;D karma + ;D
I bought it today, and couldnt hit the torrent or ftp. I'll have to try later I guess.
the requirements for that game are insane, I think I'll stick to Quake3 for now - which also happens to be GPL'ed now - woohoo
[quote author=Lovechild link=board=8;threadid=10764;start=0#msg96643 date=1130035738]
the requirements for that game are insane, I think I'll stick to Quake3 for now - which also happens to be GPL'ed now - woohoo
Define insane.
I have a Athlon XP 3000+ 2GB Ram and a Geforce Fx 5700. It runs fine. Doom 3 sure as hell didnt. Considering same engine I am impressed.
Insane == will not run on 1600+, 512megs of ram and an ATI Radeon 9600.
Which in the grander scheme of things is a very fine setup, probably a million or two times the calculation power NASA used to send mankind to the moon.
I've tried to run windows version of doom3 under cedega, and I had lots of bugs with textures, so if Quake4 based on Doom3 engine ...
Btw I've run Unreal Tournament 2004 under cedega without any problems at all (I used OpenGL render, with editing UT2004.ini)
Why bother running the windows version? There is a linux binary you can download that will actually perform decent without needing Wine's overhead.
That's great! But I have a problem with gaming under linux. My video card is GeForce7300GT, I use the latest Nvidia opengl drivers, but in all games under linux (doom3, UT, UT2004) textures are overbrighted. So what I should to do??? And how I could run Quake 4 normally? TIA
(I use mandriva 2007, x64 edition)
I reccomend avoiding x64 OSs like the black plaque. Stick 32, and your results will improve. As for the textures, I dont see where that came from. I recently went from a 5700U to a 7600 and it looked better and is now faster, but not that dramatic in the quality department, and assuredly the textures were identical and quite fine.
Now, nVIDIA has a good GUI confiurator that can set global settings for you, and that just leaves the moron game that doesnt listen to be tweaked (none of the aforementioned games give me grief).

Businessman Brian H. Murray hopes to continue his success with downtown buildings after acquiring the financially troubled Solar Building through a public auction last week.
Mr. Murray purchased the 106-year-old structure at 200-212 Franklin St. for $1,200,001 at the auction. Fannie Mae, the Dallas mortgage holder, also bid on the property, which had been in foreclosure proceedings since 2011.
Mr. Murray plans to renovate the building over time, unit by unit, said Alison M. Williams, CEO of Mr. Murrays Washington Street Properties LLC. She expects the closing to occur in October.
Ms. Williams said the six-story, 73-unit apartment building with two commercial tenants is an important downtown building.
Property owner Solar and Frontier Buildings, San Francisco, has been criticized for neglecting the property since purchasing it in 2007 and still owes $1.8 million on a loan to Fannie Mae.
On Thursday, some tenants expressed concerns about a lack of maintenance, a problem with cockroaches and security lapses, noting that a couple of robberies have occurred at the Solar Building in recent years.
Mr. Murray has a lot of ideas for reviving the triangle-shaped Renaissance Revival-style building that resembles the larger and taller Flatiron Building in New York City.
We believe it has lots of potential, Ms. Williams said.
It has a bad reputation, and we plan to drastically change that, she said.
She said the building has a good cash flow.
Mr. Murray intends that the current tenants, a few of whom have resided in the building for about 30 years, will remain living there.
In recent years, Mr. Murray, who also owns the nearby Agricultural Insurance building on Washington Street, has had a connection with the Solar property; he has been leasing a tenant parking lot across the street to the former owners, Ms. Williams said.
In 2011, Supreme Court Judge Hugh A. Gilbert appointed a receivership to GM Property Management, Syracuse, to oversee the property while it went through foreclosure.
The building is assessed at $1,116,000 million, according to the citys assessor office.
For the past 49 years, Judith P. Hadley has leased ground-floor space for her Mixed Company hair salon, tanning booth and tattoo shop and Candy Expressions candy shop.
Earlier this week, Ms. Hadley talked with Ms. Williams to find out what to expect.
I just hope I can stay, said Ms. Hadley, who is worried her rent will increase.
Tenant Shari Kaly Tatum, who has lived in the building with her two young daughters for about two years, said news of a new owner is welcome.
Were hoping things change, she said.
City Assessor Brian S. Phelps said he is glad to see Mr. Murray investing again in downtown.
He always seems to do well, and Im sure he will be able to do well with this building, Mr. Phelps said.
Built in 1907 by contractor John A. Solar, the Solar Building was once the largest structure in the city.
The building was owned by Phelps Construction Co. from 1960 to 2007.
In recent years, Brian H. Murray has purchased a number of buildings in and around Watertown, including the lower level of the building that houses Stream International on Arsenal Street, the Lincoln Building on Public Square, the former Hospice Foundation of Jefferson County Inc. building at 425 Washington St., the Top of the Square Plaza, and the Palmer Street and College Heights apartments.

i'm not sure about this but mplayer might be able to play those files
i think it also supports asf
i did some searching and read that .asx files are only for micro$oft and will only work with the windows media player. now if quick time will work, real player will work, and xmovie(and many others to play mpegs) do you think mr. bill will ever help us out? ummm, no is my guess.
if anything is wrong in my post please correct me
i'm not sure about this but mplayer might be able to play those files
i think it also supports asf
Yep as Ralinx said mplayer play them
not unless they put a gun to his headdo you think mr. bill will ever help us out?
and even then i'm not sure he would
I can guarantee that he won't.
The whole point of developing the proprietary asf/wmf standard was so that people would have to use windows in order to watch them. It's just one of the many ways that Mr. Bill is trying to eradicate linux/others. If he released a linux program that could play them, he'd be shooting himself in the foot.
But his plan sort of backfired anyway, because mplayer _does_ play them, if you compile in the win32 codecs (not hard, just rtfm before you compile).
dang it.......and mplayer was the only media player i had a hard time compiling.
i tried the tarball and the rpm as well. guess its back to the drawing board to give it another shot. :
Your best bet is the tarball.
Remember, if you have trouble running it once it's compiled, read the error message carefully the most common error message actually contains instructions on how to fix the error ;D
i will be posting back with error messages i assure you!!! hehe
too bad mplayer's site has been down for the last hour. oh well, tomorow is another day
Ok. Whatever you do, don't go to the mplayer mailing list for help, they will likely just scream "RTFM!!!" at you. I (and likely others here, as well) can probably walk you though any problems you may have
ok, heres the message i get when i run make
__________________________________________________ __________
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'cpp0: no such file or directory
__________________________________________________ __________
on MPlayers support page it says this :
"The facts : MPlayer's compile process needs the --disable-gcc-checking to proceed upon detecting a GCC version of 2.96 (apparently it needs this option on egcs too"
i have gcc 3.0 anyhow for whatever that matters and i wonder if i really should downgrade to 2.95.2 like the manual says.............
but i tried a few different commands to disable gcc checking during the make but i dont know what the command is exactly. also a search through rpm manager shows nothing about cpp0 so what could be the problem? thanks

Ringling Student Artwork Featured in SRQ Magazine
January 28, 2009 - The artwork of three Ringling students is featured in the January 2009 issue of SRQ Magazine as part of the artwork for SRQ's inaugural Advice Issue.
Three works by Ringling Graphic and Interactive Communication juniors Cassandra Gilray, Jaime Williams, and Josh Power were selected to be published for this issue. Each piece of artwork goes with one of three subjects: Honesty, Practicality, and Adorn. The students were given one of the subjects in which to build their art around and make it coincide with the written piece.
Cassandra Gilray's piece, Honesty, had to do with a question regarding a neighbor's concern for the unsightly yard next door. Her solution was to create a piece that reflected the answer to the question: honesty is always the best answer. She chose to digitally create the word "Honesty" out of grass and also imply the act of trimming something. Cassandra noted that, "Working with SRQ was an amazing experience from start to finish. It is always nice to break from a school setting and get a taste of designing in a business atmosphere."
Jaime Williams' piece, Practicality, relates to an article about gas conservation. His work portrays a gas can with a fuel gauge on the canister to tie the car aspect into the design. Jaime says that, "Practicality, the word within the piece, was the word the magazine gave me during the designing of my illustration. The hardest part was simplifying the piece and using a minimum of colors to express my idea. Still, everything came out well and the magazine helped a lot with reworking and coming up with the final illustration that they put in their article."
In Josh Power's piece, Adorn, he chose to do a simple, typographic treatment, designed in a way that related to the given word. He told SRQ, "My solution for the topic of "Adorn" was to use the word itself in a geometric sans-serif type face and to ornament it with organic forms."
Congratulations to these three students for having their work selected and published!
For more information on the articles the work was designed for, check out the January issue of SRQ online at http://www.srqmagazine.com/index.cfm.

As I drive to work I happen to glance up and see the price of gas and gag a little.
When I leave work and drive home I glance up to see the price of gas has gone up by three, four or five cents. I would like to say that this is a rare occurrence but it seems to be happening on a regular basis.
Living in a rural setting makes it hard because we do not have the luxury of public transportation. Our vehicles are a necessity. What can we do that will affect any kind of change? When do we, collectively, say "Stop"? I have accepted I am powerless but when and where will we find politicians who will roll up their sleeves and jump in and say "Stop"?
I would like it explained why gas goes up the way it does. Don't tell me it is because of the price of a barrel of crude. Who cares?
At a time when everyone is looking at ways of "jump starting" our economy you would think that this is a good place to start. Are we still the "most powerful nation in the world"? Why can't this title be used in ways that will assist the hard working section of our society?
If I have offended anyone I am truly sorry but frustration rears its ugly head.

The Fireside at Partridge Berry Inn has been listed for sale since June by a Syracuse-based commercial realtor just two months after owners of the special-events center announced the closure of its restaurant.
A property advertisement for the Watertown business at 26561 Route 3 is listed on the website of CBRE, Syracuse. Owners Bruce C. and Lynn M. Strough bought the business in December 2009. Extensive renovations were made that included a complete kitchen modernization before the business opened in the fall of 2010.
The Stroughs announced the closure of the inn as a restaurant in April, when it became strictly an events center. They said the restaurant closed because of the rising demand for special events, such as weddings, anniversaries and special parties. But while no mention was made of cash flow issues at the time, the couple put the business up for sale two months later.
The Stroughs declined to comment Monday when called about the sale.
The 10,133-square-foot building includes a full-service restaurant and reception hall, three dining rooms and a cocktail lounge with a full-service bar, according to the property listing. The Stroughs bought the Partridge Berry Inn for $290,000 from Watertown Savings Bank in 2009, after former owner Stephen Sinclair sold it to the bank in January 2008. Because of extensive renovations made by the Stroughs, the property is expected to be sold for well above that previous price, said Robert C. Nelson, CBRE senior broker. It has been assessed by Jefferson County at $648,500, he said, but that amount doesnt account for the installation of new furniture and equipment.
That assessment is based on the real property only, and the price is above the assessed value, Mr. Nelson said, declining to reveal the listing price. The price includes all of the furniture and equipment. Its well-equipped and everything is new.
By choosing to sell the business, Mr. Nelson said, the Stroughs have decided to focus their attention on the second business they own in Watertown, Pala Wood Services Co. at 22566 Patterson Road. He declined to discuss financial circumstances of the business.
The Stroughs are looking to sell or lease the property because the operation of a food and beverage facility is not their core business, Mr. Nelson said. For personal reasons, they are divesting this ancillary business.
Several prospective tenants and buyers have expressed interest in the property, Mr. Nelson said. He expects it will change hands soon.
Our target marketing is well underway, and the sale will be hopefully soon, he said.
The Partridge Berry Inn, meanwhile, is still available to be rented for special events including weddings, reunions and birthday parties, according to its website: http://wdt.me/ko4LDJ.

What can Faux Wood Blinds do for me?
If light leakage through fully closed slats creates glare on computer or television screens or if light disturbs sleep, additional light reduction can be accomplished in several ways:
Slat Style - Slats are available in two different types: flat and curved. Flat provides a clean uniform look that is traditional. Curved provides stronger light protection for a darker room.

The exhibition program at the University of Delaware Library includes major exhibitions in the Special Collections gallery, smaller exhibits in the Information Area on the first floor of Morris Library, and displays of recent publications by University faculty and staff.
This collection of correspondence consists of thirty-nine letters written primarily between 1860 and 1863. The majority of the letters were written by Edward A. Fulton to his mother, Mary Fulton, of Wilmington, Delaware.
The collection consist of 10 photographs, most of them taken during the execution of four of the men who were involved in the plot to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. Alexander Gardner worked for the well-known photographer, Matthew Brady, and is known for his photographs of President Abraham Lincoln, the American Civil War, and and the execution of Lincoln's conspirators. Gardner was the only photographer allowed to photograph the execution of these four conspirators on July 7, 1865.

Letters from Delaware resident David N. Lilley to his sister Annie, written during his period of service in the Union Army during the Civil War.
The Robert B. McKee papers consist of correspondence, military orders, medical supply inventories, casualty reports, and other material related to service as a surgeon in the 1st Delaware Calvary regiment during the Civil War.
The American Civil War Digital Collections: Pierce Family Papers were written between 1833 and 1954. Most of the forty-eight items provide an excellent portrait of military life for two brothers, George and Enos Pierce. The core of the collection is a group of letters written by George and Enos to their parents and siblings. Beginning in February 1862, following their arrival at Fernandina, Florida, as part of the 97th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, the two brothers corresponded until their deaths in 1864.
Over the years the letters described the movements of their companies, detailed their daily lives as Union troops, recounted battles in which they engaged, depicted their surroundings, and recorded their feelings about the war and home. Enclosed in the letters are Enos's drawings of the defenses for Fort Wagner and a Presbyterian Church near Port Royal, South Carolina, as well as the words to a song titled "Song of George Riley."
These letters were the basis of a University of Delaware senior thesis titled The Pierce Letters: a history of the 97th Pennsylvania Volunteers, which was written in 1954 by Patrick Winston Morris. This thesis used the Pierce letters and various military records to trace the movements and activities of the 97th Pennsylvania Volunteers, as well as detail the history of the regiment. Because the information gathered from the military records adds significantly to information found in the letters, this thesis is an excellent resource for details concerning the regiment and the Pierce brothers.
Letters written by Union soldier Thomas M. Reynolds to his fiancee Louisa J. Seward commenting on his relationship with Seward and his opinions about the Civil War.
This collection comprises 23 color lithographs printed by Rosenthal's Lith. of Philadelphia between 1861 and 1865.The views are a part of a large number of Civil War battle and camp scenes published by the company. Over one hundred and fifty views of specific battles and encampments were made from pencil drawings and hand-colored after printing. Although not signed, the images are credited to Max Rosenthal, who had a pass that gave him access to every camp of the Army of the Potomac.

The Blue and Gold Yearbooks collection gathers together the yearbooks of the Women's College of Delaware. Founded in 1914, the Women's College and its coordinate men's institution, Delaware College, together became the University of Delaware in 1921. With the establishment of co-education at the University in 1945, the Women's College ceased to exist.
This collection contains yearbooks published by students of Delaware College and later the University of Delaware. First published in 1898 under the title "The Aurora," the early yearbooks appeared sporadically due to financial difficulties. The "Blue Hen" title was adopted in 1911 and used thereafter. From 1911 until 1948, the yearbook was published biennially although it ceased publication all together for a brief period during World War II. Until the adoption of co-education in 1945, the yearbooks represented only the all-male Delaware College. The 1916 yearbook, however, contains a section devoted to the Women's College of Delaware, which began operation in 1914. "The Blue and Gold," the yearbook of the Women's College of Delaware, returned the favor in 1945 by including a section on the men's college, which had only eighteen students in the 1945 graduating class as a result of the World War II. The 1946 yearbook is the first to include both men and women. In 1948, the "Blue Hen" began annual publication, which continued until publication ceased in 1999.
The William Augustus Brewer Bookplate Collection comprises 12,680 printed bookplates dating mainly from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The collection includes bookplates from the libraries of John Carter Brown, Lewis Carroll, Samuel L. Clemens, Calvin Coolidge, Charles Dickens, Walt Disney, Edward Gibbon, Alexander Hamilton, Harry Houdini, Samuel Pepys, Howard Pyle, Paul Revere, Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Alfred Stieglitz and William Butler Yeats, as well as many others. The designers of the bookplates include Thomas Bewick, Edward Burne-Jones, Kate Greenaway, William Hogarth, Howard Pyle, Rudolf Ruzicka, and James A. M. Whistler.

This collection consists of digital audio interviews with twelve former employees of the Chrysler Assembly Plant in Newark, Delaware. These interviews were conducted by University of Delaware students in HIST 667: Oral History, taught by Professor Roger Horowitz, in the Spring semester of 2011.
This collection of raw and edited footage of interviews of Newark, Delaware, area Afro-Latinas was created in Spring 2009 by students in a Women's Studies course (WOMS 410) at the University of Delaware. Included are Mini-DV tapes containing raw footage of the interviews and DVDs containing the edited interviews.
Scanned copies of Delaware Notes, No. 1 (June 1923) - No. 34 (1961). Annual publication of a series of studies contributed by the faculty of the University of Delaware. The series ended in 1961.
The University of Delaware Library Postcard Collection comprises over two thousand postcards of Delaware and nearby areas. The postcards in the collection date mainly from the very end of the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth, although there are also postcards from throughout the later part of the twentieth century. Most of the cards in the collection were commercially produced and represent well-known Delaware buildings, monuments, and views, such as the State Capitol in Dover, Wilmington's downtown buildings and historic structures, and Rehoboth's beaches and boardwalks. A number of the cards, though, document small town life in Delaware, including street scenes and domestic buildings. In addition to documenting the built landscape of Delaware as it existed during the last hundred years, some of these images may not exist in any other format.
Along with buildings, the collection also represents aspects of social life in Delaware during the past century. Some of the cards were produced privately and are in fact photographs that have been printed onto postcard paper. These were created by individuals for the consumption of their own small circle of family and friends and were not mass-produced or sold in retail stores. These postcards document many aspects of society including firemen at work, literary societies, and sports teams.
Although most of the cards depict sights in Delaware, the collection also contains images of places outside the State, most notably Longwood Gardens in nearby Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Other cards are simply related to Delaware. These include Delaware buildings built for fairs and expositions, ships that were based in Delaware, and the battleship, the U.S.S. Delaware. Other postcards represent Delaware soldiers during the Mexican Campaign of 1916.
Postcards are not only visual records. Many of the postcards were in fact mailed and so contain written messages, stamps, and postmarks. The backs of the cards were also printed with information about the publisher, captions describing the image, and ornament. The printed text, along with the stamp and postmark, can help to date and place the manufacture and use of the cards. Alternatively, the captions and written messages contain a wealth of information that can be used to learn about the postcard's image or to illuminate the attitudes and interests of the past.

A new compilation of bibliographies created by many individuals and organizations. The information presented includes two previously published bibliographies (Bibliography of Delaware through 1960 and Bibliography of Delaware, 1960-1974), annual bibliographies created and published by the Delaware Historical Society (formerly known as the Historical Society of Delaware), and additional entries created by Robert Fleck, proprietor of Oak Knoll Books. The project was intitiated by Robert Fleck, who created a personal and professional database of materials included. Mr. Fleck determined that the public would benefit from increased access to this substantial database and contacted the University of Delaware Library to host this online version.
This digital collection, drawn from the Historic Map Collection in the Special Collections Department of the University of Delaware Library, includes several hundred sheet maps representing Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.; and 4 atlases of the state of Delaware.

The Review is the independent student newspaper of the University of Delaware. Since 1882, it has served as a voice for UD students and strived to provide timely, accurate and insightful information about the university and the surrounding community.
The Willard Stewart WPA and HABS Photographs of Delaware Collection contains 245 photographs of landscapes and buildings in Delaware taken by the prominent Wilmington, Delaware photographer, Willard S. Stewart (1915-2003). Most of the photographs are undated. The two that are have dates of 1936 and 1938, which suggests that the rest of the photographs also date to around these years, as does the fact that some of the images appear in WPA publications that came out also in 1936 and 1938.

According to our calendars, 'tis the season to think of others-officially, December starts tomorrow!-so to help you get in that spirit, we've assembled an outrageous assortment of the best presents ever. Yes, dear readers, that might sound immodest, but this year's holiday gift guide is truly loaded with lovely options and ideas galore. Forgive us the prideful boasting, but these annual present presentations are truly a labor of love. All the WhoWhatWear.com editors brainstorm and brood over their contents for months on end, searching and sleuthing for the perfect picks. Today we're thrilled to unveil the first chapter of our weeklong holiday-shopping handbook and hope you enjoy all the offerings!
As you might have guessed by our patron saint of the day-the ever evolving, invariably stylish Nicole Richie-the Gypset Girl is a gorgeous global nomad. She's the sort of modern bohemian marvel who can whip up a homemade feast with just a few bags from the farmers' market and serve it dressed in a pretty vintage caftan. Her accessories are always a marvelous mixture of the high and the low, the ethical and the ornamental, the au courant and the timeless. Accordingly, our selections manage to meld the Gypset Girl's love of luxury and her earthy sensibilities into a few fabulous packages, read on for all the details!
House of Harlow 1960 Large Gold Seal Cuff ($220)
When looking for fabulous vintage-inspired baubles at really reasonable price points, we always turn to House of Harlow 1960. The line (which is designed by Ms. Richie herself) never fails to impress with its carefully curated collection of unusual pendants, bracelets, and earrings. We think the new HOH large gold cuff is an excellent choice for the Gypset Girl in your life; it's dramatic, yet refined, much like the GG. If she's not a fan of wrist jewelry, try the Large Peacock Cocktail Ring ($48), another excellent new piece for the holidays!
Lotta Stensson Nairobi Robe ($380)
The Gypset Girl loves a flowy floor-length skirt or maxi dress and certainly isn't afraid of a bold print, so why not combine the two and give her an amazing item like Lotta Stensson's stunning silk robe? The slightly diaphanous gown is the perfect hostess outfit and will make for a stylish backdrop for all of your GG's intricate jewelry!
Zuzuz Petalz Perfume Roller ($48)
Carrying a bottle of perfume on her escapades around the world is so impractical! Instead of giving her a clunky bottle of scent that's sure to break in a suitcase, we suggest picking up the Zuzuz Petalz perfume roller. The scent itself is stunning-think: gardenia, jasmine, and other white flowers-and the packaging is beyond sweet. Plus, since it's a perfume oil, it's easy to use and tucks inside any purse. Perfect!
Rebecca Taylor Faux Fur Vest ($350)
We couldn't resist including one of the season's key pieces in today's story-the faux fur gilet-as it's simply so spot-on for our muse. Rebecca Taylor's version of this must-buy item is ultra luxurious and will add a glam boho layer to any outfit. We know it's a bit pricey, but it's less expensive (and a kinder choice) than fur, plus, this style is so well made that your GG will surely wear it for seasons to come.
Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush ($6) in Pink Frosting
When we think of our favorite Gypset types, one of the first things that come to mind is gorgeous skin. Though she's never overdone or obviously made-up, the girl's always got a gorgeous glow nevertheless, which is why she'd love this uber-soft blush from Maybelline. The whipped consistency is truly miraculous and blends into your skin instantly, while the lovely natural colors make you look like the happiest version of yourself. It's such a swell product, you might want to pick one up for yourself while you're at it!
Gypset Style by Julia Chaplin ($30)
Every GG needs the original handbook, so don't forget to pick up Julia Chaplin's divine exploration of today's subject-Gypset Style. The book, which was published earlier this year, is an engaging ode to bon vivants and jet-set bohemians and will have you channeling your inner Talitha Getty in no time at all.
Urban Outfitters' Destroyed Love Scarf ($34)
The globetrotting Gypset Girl loves layers to keep her cozy and covered; after all, she never knows when she'll be boarding a private plane to Mustique or running out to the garden to pick tomatoes off the vine! This knit circle style is a pitch-perfect way to get a little extra coverage and add a well-worn accent to any of your favorite GG's effortlessly chic ensembles!
Today's Holiday Gift Guide is brought to you by Maybelline New York.

Microsoft has allowed a number of different media sources test out their brand new Windows Phone update which has been codenamed Mango since it was first announced. The update will likely not be available until sometime this Fall, but things are looking great based on what is out there so far. They have addressed some of the key concerns that users have had with the way that the previous operating system worked and you can bet that users will be more than satisfied with what Microsoft has brought to the table with their first real major update for windows phone users
The 7.1 version of the device will run Windows Phone will be the first version of the operating system to offer 4G support, which seems a little odd in this day and age and is one of the main things that many users were looking for. The new operating system will also allow for threads to run, which means that there will be more multitasking options available to users. It will also have some new features that allow for deeper social integration with all of your favorite networks.
Other upgrades that users can look forward to from Mango include the ability for voice dictation, and new multi-tasking abilities with the apps. In all, Microsoft claims to have added more than 500 new features but has not gone as far as to announce what those features might be. You can get a good look at the update for the first time this fall, when it is officially released. It is good to see that Microsoft is addressing the key concerns of their windows phone users . So far they have put together a very interesting package that will likely only be getting better as time goes on. For now, the update is being thoroughly tested and added to before its release, but Microsoft is already starting to build hype for the device.

Redevelopment agencies are expected to divert $48.8 million in funding from Utah's public school districts in fiscal year 2005.
Overall, the redevelopment agencies will receive $98.2 million in revenues that would have gone to counties, cities and special service districts as well as the public schools, according to Utah Taxpayers Association calculations based on state tax commission and office of education data.
Redevelopment agencies utilize a concept known as tax increment financing, explained the independent public policy organization. The increment refers to the increased property tax due to the developer's investment.
Normally, local governments like counties and school districts would receive 100 percent of the property tax increments.
But under redevelopment agencies, the majority of the incremental property tax revenues are diverted back to the developer to cover infrastructure costs.
The share of statewide RDA diversions coming from the public education system registers at 49.7 percent, slightly lower than the 55 percent of statewide property taxes allocated to fund school districts, indicated the association.
Since the statewide ratio of weighted pupil units is roughly 1.3 to 1, the reduction of $76.97 per WPU translates into approximately $100 per student per year, pointed out the independent public policy organization. In the last 10 years, RDA diversions have grown at 12.3 percent, more than double the 5.5 percent rate of total statewide property tax collections.
In Carbon School District, the property tax diversion associated with redevelopment agencies totals $120,391, according to the association's calculations. The estimated $22 reduction in Carbon County's weighted pupil unit translates into approximately $35 per student per year.
In addition, more than $12.4 million in property taxes will be diverted to RDAs from the minimum school program in 2005, noted the association. The minimum school program represents the primary funding mechanism for public education in Utah. The program accounts for 68 percent of all kindergarten to grade 12 operations and capital spending in the state.
Had school districts actually received the $12.4 million in property taxes, spending per WPU would have been $19.30 higher or roughly $25 per student, noted the association.
The statewide basic levy for education represents a fundamental component of Utah's minimum school program, pointed out the independent public policy organization. The levy is applied at the same rate statewide and is used to equalize funding between school districts. The more funding public schools receive from the application of the statewide basic levy to local property tax bases, the less state income dollars the districts receive.
A redevelopment agency in one area impacts all school districts in the state, indicated the association. School districts with RDA diversions receive more state income tax dollars to compensate for reductions in basic property levy funding. RDAs occur in 27 of Utah's 40 school districts. RDA diversions are most prevalent in Salt Lake, Park City, Ogden, Logan and Rich districts.

Beginning on April 1, the U. S. Census Bureau will start conducting its 2010 census. Although things are quiet at the moment, around 70 to 80 temporary part-time jobs will be created.
"The project's on schedule. Currently we're doing group quarters: hospitals, dorms, jails, military bases, etc. Things should go fairly quickly; the information has to be on Obama's desk by Dec. 1," said Matt Mace, local census manager.
One of the first phases of the new census will be to mail out forms for households and individuals to complete. If forms are not returned before May, a door- to- door campaign will take place. The Bureau plans to hire workers to conduct this campaign and will pay $11.50 per hour. Unlike previous censuses, employees must pass a detailed background check. In addition, they must be 18 years old and pass a basic skills test.
"We have no central office, so workers will mostly be working out of their homes during the evenings and weekends, when people are home," said Mace.
In the past, the Bureau has experienced difficulty recruiting in Carbon County. But, as of last spring, things have been going fairly well with positions being filled. Another difference from years past is the addition of new technology for the counting process. Now, hand-held computers will be utilized, not only to keep information, but also to record global positioning data.
"The GPS system will help us when we go out to follow-ups in remote and rural locations, because there is no other way to list some of these places," said Mace.
Currently, the Bureau is running a $100 million national TV campaign to promote awareness of the census. In Carbon County, the focus thus far has been recruiting for the positions which need to be filled by mid- March, when the forms will be mailed out.
The information should be available to the general public by March 2011, which will be one of the quickest-ever returns on information. Up until the late 19th century, the information took nearly 10 years to count and compile, just in time for the next census.

If Proposition 37 is approved by voters, it will:
- Require labeling on raw or processed food offered for sale to consumers if the food is made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways.
- Prohibit labeling or advertising such food as "natural."
- Exempt from this requirement foods that are "certified organic; unintentionally produced with genetically engineered material; made from animals fed or injected with genetically engineered material but not genetically engineered themselves; processed with or containing only small amounts of genetically engineered ingredients; administered for treatment of medical conditions; sold for immediate consumption such as in a restaurant; or alcoholic beverages"
I believe we have a right to know where the food we eat comes from, and how it is made. This is a step in that direction.

Orioles 2006 first-round draft pick Billy Rowell, who has struggled the last few years as a hitter, has agreed to take a shot at pitching.
He has been taking part in the beginnings of throwing program the last two days in Sarasota and will continue with that for about a month. At that point, the Orioles will decide if he has made enough progress to pitch in extended spring training games. If he advances past that, he could possibly join a minor league affiliate as a pitcher later this season.
After producing some solid offensive numbers very early in his career, Rowell, the ninth pick in round one, has struggled at bat since his first two seasons and has not lived up to the promise of a first-round pick. After spending three seasons in A-ball, he hit just .227 in a reserve role last year at Double-A Bowie.

Taste of Dresden generates $1,200
MORRIS, Ill. (July 9, 2010) – The employees at Exelon Nuclear's Dresden Generating Station raised just over $1,200 to help students in Dwight, Ill. who were affected by the tornado that struck the area last month.
"Dwight Public Schools and the community are grateful to the employees of Dresden Station for their generous donation," said Dwight Public School Superintendent Dale Adams. "These funds will be used to pay school registrations and supplies for the victims of the June 5 tornado. I am amazed by the outpouring of support that has come from outside our community. We are blessed to live in an area with such caring people."
The money was raised on June 23 through the Taste of Dresden, an event sponsored by the station's Diversity Council featuring food that reflects the ethnic origins of the site's workforce.
"When our employees learned that this year's Taste of Dresden would help students affected by the recent tornado, they opened their hearts and wallets to help," said Plant Manager Shane Marik.
Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two operating units can produce more than 1,700 megawatts net of electricity per hour. Dresden Unit 1, which began commercial operation in 1960 and was retired in 1978, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

XO Cognacs - Napoléon
A Napoleon, or X.O (for Extra Old ), also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
A Cognac may be sold only when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age. Once transferred into glass, Cognac stops maturing. It stands still.
However, most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.
XO is perhaps one of the vaguest classifications regarding quality, and should't be taken at face value without further search. Some of the XOs you can find in our site are certainly under-priced, while some others, which, of course, you will NOT find here at Le Cognac, may be quite mediocre . In fact, selecting Cognacs with a reasonably quality/price ratios is one of our raisons d'être.
On the other hand, regarding Cognac, beyond a certain level of quality one enters into the realm of subjectivity. And then, of course, there is always a premium in rarity. When a product is scarce, if demand remains strong, it is only natural that prices go up. This is exactly what we have been seeing with high-end Cognac prices in the last few years because of the huge Chinese demand.
As a rule, we would say that the XOs present at Le Cognac are all good value in general market terms. Some of them are indeed very good value.

In one of my previous posts I committed to posting some of the secrets of my success to my loyal readers when one of three events happened: 1) I played 75 of the top 100 courses; 2) I played Pine Valley or 3) I played Cypress Point.
Well, I haven't played 75 courses yet, but I'm a happy man and will share some of the love on this post!
On the other hand, gaining access to Seminole, Pine Valley, Augusta National, Los Angeles Country Club or Garden City Mens Club is a lot more difficult. While doing research on these clubs I finally figured out why they don't have more liberal visitor policies like those in the U.K. and Australia. Most of the elite golf courses in the U.S. are organized as non-for-profit entities. Allowing access to the public and generating profit beyond the private pleasures of their members would jeopardize their tax-exempt status. I always thought they were just being snooty and no doubt some are, but there is some logic to their position.
There have been a handful of people who have played the top 100 golf courses in the world. The Americans who have done so have all been members of a top private club. This makes gaining access to other clubs a lot easier, particularly if you belong to one of the highly regarded ones, by being able to offer a return visit to a member who hosts you. I have been successful gaining access without being a member of one of these clubs. Nor am I a member of the R & A as some of the prior participants have been. Nor am I a member of the press. I am doing this the old-fashioned way, gaining access one course at a time through nothing more than the charm of my glowing personality. What is surprising when I look at the courses I have played is that in only two instances did I directly know the member. As the hypothesis goes, there are six degrees of separation between all people on the planet. In my case, I have never had to go further than three degrees to get on a course. In most cases it was only two - that is, someone who knows an acquaintance of mine.
1. Pine Valley allows non-members access during early October for the playing of their annual club championship - the Crump Cup. While you can't play the course or visit the pro shop, you can walk it (sometimes in peaceful seclusion), which is closer than most people will ever get to playing it.
2. You can get on the normally difficult to access Muirfield on short notice by staying at the Greywalls Hotel, which is adjacent to the golf course. They have a small amount of tee times on Monday and Friday mornings that are allocated only to guests of the hotel. Overall, it will be expensive, but you are playing one of the top five ranked courses in the world, after all.
3. Your golf professional can be very helpful. The pro at your course can sometimes get you access to courses of other private clubs. Be discrete. Don't abuse the privilege. It probably won't work getting you onto the really elite courses such as Seminole, Shinnecock or Augusta, but you can get access to some of the lesser known, private courses on the list. Also, it is not free, you have to pay the greens fees. I have played about six of the courses this way thus far.
4. Make yourself known - Believe it or not I was called unsolicited to play two of the courses in the top 25 by getting my name out. Start a blog or a web-site. Chances are it won't be as insightful or wry as mine, but give it a shot.
5. Ask - but not for Augusta. If you ask a member of Augusta it's an automatic no. They have to ask you. Also, writing to or calling an Augusta member won't work. They've heard it all and get letters frequently requesting access to grant someone's dying wish. But aside from that one, as every effective sales person knows, you have to ask for the order if you want to get invited. You can lookup members of most golf courses in the United States by going to www.ghin.com to see if people you meet or acquaintances are members of any courses you want to play. You'll be surprised at some of the names you see.
6. Network - knowing or meeting members of the private courses is the best way to gain access. You don't necessarily have to know them directly, sometimes your friends know people. Don't be obnoxious, but when appropriate, ask and you can often gain access. Have good etiquette, though. Always offer to pay greens fees. Always offer to pay the caddies and tip generously. Send your host a gift afterwards.
7. Join the club. This is not really a practical option for most private clubs in the U.S. since you need to be sponsored by multiple members, pay the initiation fee, etc. However, you can join several of the top 100 courses in the world, particularly those in the British Isles as an overseas member, usually by just applying. Turnberry, Cruden Bay and Ballybunion among others, allow overseas members to join for a modest annual fee.
8. Playing the Old Course at St. Andrews can be difficult if you don't book well in advance, book through a tour company or don't spend a small fortune staying overnight in town, as is normally required to secure a tee time. A certain number of tee times are allocated to a daily lottery. Your chances of entering the lottery to play the next day are roughly 65% in season, but your odds go up to an almost certain 95% off-season. I suggest going off-season. Put on a sweater and some gloves and enjoy yourself. Or, alternatively, if you are a single, just show up and wait on line. Believe it or not there are people that don't show up for their tee times or threesomes that need a fourth.
9. A member of the greenskeeping staff can sometimes get you access. You probably will have to play at a non-prime time and won't have access to the clubhouse, but as lovers of the game, greenskeeping staff and superintendents can sometimes be very helpful. I played one of the top 25 ranked courses on the list this way. Again, this is not one where you can cold-call them and ask, you have to at least know them or know someone who does.
10. Befriend the course architect if they are still alive, they can sometimes get you access. This worked on one of the top 25 courses for me.
11. Bid for a round at a charity auction. You will probably write a big check, but you can usually split the cost with two or three friends, and after all, it's for a good cause.
12. Half of the courses on the list are public or resort, including some of the best- Pebble Beach, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Dunes, Pinehurst, Harbour Town, Kiawah Island, Kingsbarns, Turnberry, Casa de Campo, Kawana in Japan, Highland Links in Canada and Cabo del Sol in Mexico, are all public or resort courses. Just book in advance.
13. Follow the proper booking process to gain access to the elite private courses in the U.K. and Australia. You have to play on the days that they allocate for non-member play, have a valid handicap card, usually below 24, and follow their dress code. If you do, you can play some of the world's historic links and heathland courses such as Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, Royal St. George's, Walton Heath, Sunningdale, Royal Lytham & St. Annes, Royal Birkdale, Wentworth and Royal Liverpool, Royal Melbourne, Royal Adelaide and Kingston Heath, among others.
14. Play in a Pro-am at one of the courses if you can. It might not be cheap, but again, the money normally goes to charity.
15. You don't have to wait in the parking lot all night to play Bethpage Black. If you know a New York State resident, they can book a tee time a week in advance.
16. Get a job at CBS or become a golf journalist. Select employees and journalists that cover the Masters get to play Augusta National the Monday following the tournament. The winner and runner up of the british and american Amateur championships also get to play in the Masters. There is another longshot way to get on Augusta National but it requires a change in lifestyle. It involves moving to Augusta, GA and joining Augusta Country Club which is the course behind Augusta National. Augusta National only sends out foursomes. In the unimaginable circumstance when someone doesn't show up (our imagination can't conceive of a valid reason for not being able to play) Augusta National has been known to call over to Augusta County Club to have them send over a member to round out the group. I can already mentally picture myself sitting in the Augusta Country Club locker room every day in my boxer shorts, smoking a cigar just waiting for the call to come!
17. Join a golfing society. There are several societies that sometimes will have an annual outing at a named architect's course that you otherwise wouldn't be able to get on. There are societies for many of the architects that designed some of the world's premier courses: Seth Raynor, Donald Ross, Stanley Thompson, H.S. Colt, A.W. Tillinghast.
18. If the course hosts a PGA tour event, volunteer for the event. Depending upon the event, sometimes they let volunteers play the course after the event. You may have to work in the parking lot or at a non-glamorous job, but we never said this was going to be easy.
19. Work at a top consulting or financial firm. The unofficial best top ten employers to work for if you are golf crazed are McKinsey, Bain, The Boston Consulting Group, Booz Allen, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers or Sandler O'Neill. Chances are someone working there is a member, knows a member or has a client who is a member. Being in the right circles like these helps a lot.
20. Become a rater for Golf Digest, Golf Magazine or Golf Weekly. Many courses grant access to raters, although it is not universal.
21. Become a caddy at an elite course. Typically caddies are given playing privileges at off-times.
22. Become the US Ambassador to France where the Golf Club de Morfontaine has a tradition of granting the current post holder playing privileges. In the absence of becoming the ambassador you could freqently beseech him and his staff for access. Or, I am lead to believe that French professionals have reciprocity rights on certain days of the week and can help you get access to elite french courses.
24. Get invited to join The Links Club in New York City. Although his ultra exclusive club has no golf course, its member outings are at some of the world's best including Shinnecock Hills, The National Golf Links, Maidstone, Somerset Hills and Chicago Golf Club.
24. I've got no clue how to get on the private courses in Japan and would welcome any suggestions.

After Massena recorded a 6-4 upset over OFA on Monday, to deny the Devils a chance to claim sole control of the NAC Central Baseball Championship, both coaches said it was a game to focus on.
In terms of momentum, this was just huge for our young team after a very disappointing loss to Salmon River, said Massena Coach Greg Paquin after the Raiders finished 8-9 season with a 6-6 NAC Central mark.
This was really big, to get a win over an OFA team, which I think is one of the best in the state.
OFA Coach Tom Pinkerton urged his no. 12 state-ranked Class B team to learn from the loss which left the Devils and Potsdam, a 10-1 winner over Malone, tied atop the final Central Division standings at 10-2.
We werent real focused today and we werent tough mentally, said Pinkerton.
We just didnt make corrections fast enough. Seth Pinkerton and Breton LaRose both had uncharacteristic control problems and Massena took advantage with key hits.
Pinkerton and LaRose, who came on in the fourth inning and pitched the rest of the game, combined for 11 strikeouts and while issuing 12 walks and allowing five hits. The Raider tandem of Rory Corcoran and reliever Joey LaBelle, who picked up the win after taking to the mound in the sixth inning, combined for 10 strikeouts and five walks in a four-hitter.
The Raiders opened a 4-0 lead as number eight batter Jeremiah Reagan came through with four RBIs and prevailed with two runs in the eighth where Reagan scored the winning run.
In the second inning, Dave Phillips singled and scored on a single by Reagen. In a three-run third, Logan Deshane singled after walks to Issiah Dillabough and Phillips and Reagan hammered a three-run triple.
OFA answered with two in the bottom of the third as Pat Cosmo drew the first of three walks on the day, Alex Farrell singled and Konnor Murdock drilled a two-run triple.
The Devils pulled even in the sixth as Murdock walked and scored on a single by Zach Sharpe who rambled around the bases on a ringing double by Andrew Cole.
Dillabough plated Reagan with a bases-loaded walk in the top of the eighth and Zach Rusaw followed with a sacrifice fly. LaBelle followed by striking out the last two batters of a 1-2-3 bottom of the eighth.
OFA will be back on home on Thursday to host Salmon River in a 4:15 p.m. Section 10 Class B semi-final start. With a win, the Devils will meet the winner of Potsdam-Gouverneur game in next Wednesdays Section 10 Championship.
Massena and Malone will play for the Class A title next week.
OFA 12 - Malone 11: Alex Farrell pitched as a starter and a reliever and drove in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning as OFA secured a 12-11 nonleague baseball win over Malone on Sunday at Clarkson University.
Farrells second single of the game delivered Brendan Arsenault who led off the seventh inning with his fourth hit of the day and stole secondbase.
Farrell pitched the first five innings and returned to the mound to get the final two outs after Malone tied the game at 11-11.
The Blue Devils collected 17 hits to overcome 13 walks. Arsenault doubled in his four-hit day and Zach Sharpe lined two singles and a double. Jon Tayler and Farrell singled twice, Breton LaRose crushed a triple and Andrew Cole, Kinnon LaRose (1-1), DaKota Brady, JV call-up Jordan Miller (1-1 first varsity hit), Zach Barr and Dave Prudhomme all singled.
It was a nonleague game and our reserves got a chance to play alot and came through. Our pitchers gave up a lot of walks but Alex Farrell came through to get the final outs in the seventh, said OFA Coach Tom Pinkerton.
Alex Johnson and Tanner Studlack singled twice for Malone and Deven Monnet stroked a two-run double.
Massena JVs 7 - OFA 6: Massena claimed the NAC Central JV Title on Monday by scoring a run in the top of the seventh after OFA tied the score at 6-6 with a three-run sixth inning.
Nick Sweeney rapped a triple and a 3-4 outing at the plate and Peyton Lalone doubled in a 3-4 effort for OFA.
Jordan Miller, Jake Sias and Jon Rogers added singles and Sebastian Quintilliani, Connor Badlam and Miller combined on the mound.
The OFA Girls Softball team also dropped their Central Division final to Massena. The host Raiders (7-4) dropped OFA to 8-4 in a 10-6 decision which gave them a sweep of the season series.
Kaitlin Conto pitched the win for the Raiders who scored four runs in the fifth inning and six in the sixth.
Abailehy Dillabough belted a triple and two singles and Addy Rufa singled three times for Massena. Mackenzie Young singled twice and Vanessa Kirky doubled.
Adrianna Compo doubled for OFA while Brittany (4 inning) and Felicia Barr combined on he mound.
OFA JV 14, Massena JV 1: Jenny Dalton smacked a homerun and a single and fanned eight batters in the victory. Alicia Shaver belted a homerun and a two singles while Kristin Snider lined a pair of doubles and three singles. Kaylie Downie added a double and two singles, Alicia Shape stroked a triple and a double, Taylor Perry chipped in three singles, Erin Tooley and Jill Lincoln each added two singles and Tina Menza rapped a single for OFA.
