The Man Next Door (El hombre de al lado)
When two neighbours clash, their argument becomes less about proposed building alterations and more about the wider battle between class and social status. The hugely impressive building in question is the only example of a Le Corbusier residential home in all of Latin America, adding to the poignancy of their argument, and providing an appropriate trigger for their anger. Impressive performances and stunning cinematography lift this well beyond a typical comedy of manners.

STEP 4: Paint a coat of Sparkle Mod Podge over the entire surface of the coaster. You really do want to let the first part dry before doing this coat because if the tissue paper gets too soggy, the hearts will rip. Ask me how I know.
STEP 5: Cut felt squares and glue them on the bottom of each tile to protect your table from scratches.

Hmm,….I think I'm leaning towards the leaves, but not by much. I love how great these look when you have them tied up with the bow. Great for gift-giving.
I love these! They remind me of those tissue paper hearts we used to make in art class when I was little. (Of course yours look way better.) Great job!
Love them both!! What a cute seasonal craft, and it's so reasonable for supplies – why not make them for all seasons??
What a great useful craft for kids! They'd make perfect little grandparent or family gifts
Very cute! Love those leaf ones too!
I love them both, but I'm leaning more towards the hearts. Love it!!
Does the condensation from your glass puddle on top?

Thirteen farmers who own land north of Route 12 in the towns of Rutland and Champion have signed contracts with a Brooklyn wind developer, allowing it to build a 10-mile overhead power transmission line through their fields that is needed for the Copenhagen Wind Farm project.
Farmers who signed contracts with the company this year were given $1,000 bonus checks on the spot for signing the easement for the 115-kilovolt power line, which will run west from a substation to be built near the Jefferson-Lewis county line in the village of Copenhagen and connect to a National Grid substation near Burrville. Along with that bonus, the company agreed to pay $8,000 per acre of easement property in areas at which the line passes through tillable farmland. That payoff equates to about $2,000 for every 100 feet of farmland the line spans.
OwnEnergy was granted a 20-year tax break from local jurisdictions to help finance the $198.5 million project, which calls for the construction of 49 wind turbines that will generate 79.2 megawatts of power.
To be built on about 9,700 acres of leased land, the project will disturb about 372 acres of fields and 590 acres of forest or active farmland, according to a preliminary environmental impact statement for the project.
Farmers along the route said the plan for the power line didnt face much opposition because the company found ways to avoid installing electrical poles on their farmland. Much of the farmland north of Route 12 in the town of Rutland is owned by Michael W. Hill, owner of Milk Street Dairy, Woodville. He purchased most of the land near Route 12 in 2010 and 2011 from three local farming families, the Sawyers, Clements and Tousants.
The developer was able to engineer a plan that mostly circumvented Mr. Hills property, but it was compelled to pass through a 100-acre cornfield near the substation in Burrville. In recompense, Mr. Hill will be paid about $300,000 by OwnEnergy.
Its been an unexpected windfall, Mr. Hill said. Land prices have escalated and I bought this land for what it was worth, so this helps pay for it.
OwnEnergy could start construction on the project by late 2014. The company will own a 1,000-foot easement on property through which the power line passes 500 feet on each side. The developer will pay farmers based on the total amount of easement property under its control.
About seven power poles are expected be built on land owned by Mr. Hill. Workers operating farm machinery will be compelled to navigate around them. But Mr. Hill, who supports the wind project, called it a minor inconvenience.
Well be able to farm up to the base of the poles after construction, he said.
Copenhagen resident Lloyd G. Woodruff, who is a vocal supporter of the wind farm project, assisted OwnEnergy by contacting farmers on Route 12 affected by the power line and encouraging them to sign contracts. Only about one mile of the 10-mile line will cross tillable farmland under the plan, Mr. Woodruff said. Nearly all of the farmers on affected land have signed contracts with the wind developer over the past five months.
Most of the power line is in between fields from Copenhagen to Burrville, not affecting much tillable land, said Mr. Woodruff, who is the zoning officer for the town of Denmark.
The 20-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement, he said, is going to generate the town a lot of money. It will help pay off the debt on the town building, save taxes at the school and help lower our tax rate, which is close to four times more than in the towns of Champion and Rutland.
The power line will pass through a 50-acre cornfield on the north side of Route 12 at Sawyer Farms, owned by Donald H. Sawyer. The 74-year-old dairy farmer owns about 200 acres of tillable farmland and a small herd of about 90 cattle. Two or three power poles will be installed in that cornfield, Mr. Sawyer said, which is visible from the backyard of his house.
The Sawyers will be paid about $20,000 by OwnEnergy.
When youre struggling like most small farms are, this is a bonus, Mr. Sawyer said. Its just like selling land to big farms who can afford to buy it at $2,000 to $3,000 an acre. The average farmer in America is now 59 years old, so opportunities like these are valuable.
The welcoming reception for the Copenhagen Wind Farm project stands in contrast with the Galloo Island Wind Farm project proposed by Upstate NY Power Corp., which was rejected by the state Public Service Commission in June. That project would have connected the companys proposed 246-megawatt wind farm on Galloo Island, town of Hounsfield, to the Fitzpatrick-Edic Substation in the town of Mexico, Oswego County, or to the National Grid Route 12F substation near Salmon Run Mall. A contingent of shoreline owners and dairy farmers in the towns of Hounsfield, Henderson and Ellisburg voiced their opposition to the plan.
The Jefferson and Lewis County Farm Bureaus will host an informational meeting for farmers about the impact of power transmission lines on agricultural land at 7 p.m. July 30 at Grace Episcopal Church, 21 Cataract St., Copenhagen. Matthew J. Brower, an agriculture resources specialist for the state Department of Agriculture and Markets, will highlight the potential impacts of power lines on farmland and best-management practices that construction companies are required to follow.
NOTE: The story has been edited to correctly list the unit of power for the power line.

Green Coffee Beans are fresh coffee beans that have not been roasted. Standard coffee beans have been roasted at 475 degrees farenheit, and that is where their dark color comes from. The roasting process also causes Coffee Beans to lose 90% of their primary fat-burning and anti-oxidant component - Chlorogenic Acid. In their 100% pure form, Green Coffee Beans are rapidly becoming a significant breakthrough in the science of natural health and weight loss.
Green Coffee Beans have been shown to inhibit fat absorption and also stimulate the activation of fat metabolism in the liver, both major supporters of weight reduction. The Chlorogenic acid found in Green Coffee Beans is a natural phytochemical that is found in a wide array of plants, with very high concentrations in Green Coffee Beans. It has been found to inhibit the release of glucose into the blood, particularly after meals, and appears to help people lose weight as a result. Chlorogenic acid may also be able to induce body fat loss by increasing body heat produced, thus promoting thermogenesis, the natural burning of fat for energy. It is also believed to reduce the generation of new fat cells due to its superior anti-oxidant effects.
Normally, I don't recommend "weight-loss" supplements, especially weight-loss supplements that claim "easy" weight loss or "fast" weight loss. As a nutritionist, I strongly believe that the key to weight loss is a healthy diet and exercise, but there are some incredible superfoods that can deliver an added boost. One superfood in particular, the green coffee bean, is creating major media buzz, and the research has me truly amazed.
When you order your first shipment of Green Coffee Bean Max you'll be automatically signed up to get Free membership access to our
results-based online fitness program. This information is exclusively for Green Coffee Bean Max members, and is not available to the
general public. Combined with a sensible food program, exercise routine, and drinking plenty of water, the ingredients in Green Coffee

FORT DRUM A pair of West Point classmates of Maj. Jaimie E. Leonard, a soldier from post killed Saturday in a possible insider attack, described her as a hardworking student, a fierce competitor on the schools crew team and a caring friend.
Her presence made everybody rise to the occasion, said Susan W. Alden, a crew teammate. She certainly raised the bar with her enthusiasm.
Maj. Leonard, 39, of Warwick, was one of three people killed by a man wearing an Afghan army uniform. Also killed were Lt. Col. Todd J. Clark and contractor Joseph Morabito. In its announcement about the deaths, the Department of Defense listed the cause of the two soldiers death as small-arms fire.
Maj. Leonard is the fifth female soldier from post to die during an overseas deployment since 9/11. Her death came as she was about to be promoted to lieutenant colonel. Army public affairs on Wednesday afternoon confirmed her promotion, saying it would be made official later.
At the time Maj. Leonard graduated from U.S. Military Academy in 1997, Mrs. Alden estimated about 80 of the approximately 1,000-cadet graduating class were women, creating a strong common bond among the female cadets.
Theres one thing about the long gray line, she said. You share such colorful experiences with each other, you know exactly what they went through all those years.
On the crew team, Maj. Leonard competed in a number of different events. Mrs. Alden said in talking with fellow teammates the last few days, Maj. Leonards spirit was a common theme.
She wanted us to be resilient, she said.
Mrs. Alden said the club sport improved in status and facilities during the time she and Maj. Leonard were at the academy because of the teams competitiveness.
Id personally say Jaimies dedication to crew while we were there was a part of that huge shift, she said.
Plans are underway to dedicate a boat in her honor for use by future teams, Mrs. Alden said.
JoAnna L. Reynolds, who roomed with Maj. Leonard for two years in Eisenhower Hall, said she was in shock when she learned of the death over the weekend.
It feels very surreal, she said.
Ms. Reynolds described her roommate as constantly working on papers and reading books and magazines about international relations, which she was studying.
One of the most professional, driven women Ive ever met in the Army, she said. She wasnt going to let anything get in her way.
Maj. Leonard also was not afraid to speak her mind, Ms. Reynolds said.
She was not afraid to let her opinion be known, and usually it was very well researched, she said.
Despite her focus on her studies and crew, Ms. Reynolds said, her roommate was also a fan of taking midday naps, falling asleep to music like the soundtrack of the movie The Last of the Mohicans. She said they both reveled in the purchase of electronic blankets for the cold winters on campus.
Ms. Reynolds said the last time she remembered seeing Maj. Leonard was in 2009 at a conference, about the same time she was getting out of the Army.
I knew shed stay in for the career, she said.
Maj. Leonard, who served in the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, had been in the Army for 16 years. Among the honors she earned during her career were two Bronze Stars, two Meritorious Service Medals, the Joint Service Commendation Medal and three Army Commendation Medals.
Attempts to contact the family of Maj. Leonard on Tuesday and Wednesday were unsuccessful.
Maj. Leonard is survived by five siblings, identified in an obituary in the Warwick Advertiser as Elizabeth Anne Harman, Hannah J. Rudy, Allyson Basha, Samantha Leonard and Robert Leonard, along with her stepmother, Sally Asbury Leonard, and other extended family. Both her mother, Patricia Ann Oberst, and father, Robert Fulton Leonard Jr., died before her.
A service at the academy for Maj. Leonard is scheduled for June 20.

How-To: Google Voice Inbound/Outbound Without a Computer
Update (July 25, 2010): SIP Sorcery has disabled new account registrations as of today. If you don't already have an account then you're out of luck. More information here.
Quick History
Many of us have been using GrandCentral long before it was called Google Voice and have enjoyed many of it's features. One of the unfortunate side effects of the increased visibility that Google's acquisition brought to the service was the swift shut down of the SIP connectivity we were using to initiate calls. There were other workarounds using Gizmo5, different IPs, but all the tricks were eventually killed off in May 2009. Shortly thereafter Gizmo5 allowed users to make free outgoing calls by integrating Google Voice into their service but it was hampered by a 3 minute call limit. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. The current workaround came through two different projects that utilize Google Voice via JSON and XML requests: Google Voice for Python (pygooglevoice) and SipSorcery's Google Voice App.
This tutorial will show how to make inbound/outbound Google Voice calls using only a SIP client whether it's a computer-based softphone like Ekiga, a mobile phone-based softphone such as Fring, a hardware 3G/Wi-Fi SIP phone like my Nokia E71, or an analog telephony adapter like the Linksys PAP2T-NA that allows regular house phones to use VoIP. Any SIP software should be able to use this method of interacting with Google Voice. I put this together after Gizmodo and Lifehacker recently posted tutorials that had the incoming part of Google Voice working but neither showed how to get outbound calls working without a computer. I'm pretty sure this tutorial will also work for people that do not have a US phone number needed to verify a new Google Voice account as long as things are set up in the order below.
I'm doing nothing more than to take screenshots to illustrate a process that has been created by a number of very intelligent people who should be recognized for the their hard work:
- Aaron C – SipSorcery's creator who donates his time and servers to his project. The project was formerly known as MySipSwitch
- Joe McCall, Justin Quick et al. – Creators of the PyGoogleVoice Project
- Ward Mundy – Creator of The Incredible PBX
- Chad Smith – Creator of the Google Voice Firefox addon
- Mike Telis, EasternPA et al. – Creators of the Google Voice SipSorcery Dialplans Project
There are many more people that I'm certain I haven't listed. Feel free to e-mail me if I've made an omission that needs to be rectified.
This post is for educational purposes only and is not meant to replace your regular telephone. Read this document through in its entirety before attempting anything. If you choose to follow this tutorial then you do so at your own risk and take full responsibility for any and all consequences. I cannot be held liable for any damages. In other words, if anything terrible happens to you because of this tutorial then you're on your own. Do not use this configuration for anything other than leisurely tinkering and certainly not for emergency calls. You've been warned!
- Phone number (DID) from a VoIP provider such as SipGate, IPKall, IPComms, etc.
- Google Voice account
- SipSorcery account (Requires Microsoft Silverlight)
- Softphone (I'll use Ekiga but a hardphone or analog telephony adapter can be setup the same way.)
SipSorcery Account Creation
- Create a SipSorcery account by pointing your browser to: http://www.sipsorcery.com
- Click Click for SIP Sorcery Portal. Note: You must have Microsoft Silverlight installed!
- Click Create New Account
- Fill in the fields with your information. Make sure you put in your real email address (a confirmation email will be sent), choose a security question, and set the correct timezone. Once completed, click Create Account.
- If everything was created successfully then you'll see this message about confirming your email address.
- Head over to your email account and confirm your email address by clicking the link. Once completed, you'll see the following message.
- At this point you can login to your newly created SipSorcery account by pointing your browser to: http://www.sipsorcery.com. Then click Click for SIP Sorcery Portal. Enter in your username and password. You'll should see something like this:
- We'll come back to SipSorcery later. Let's set up our SIP softphone next.
SIP Softphone Set Up
Note: You may use any SIP softphone, hardphone, or analog telephony adapter of your choosing. The basic setup instructions will be the same for all of these devices. I'll use Ekiga because it's a free download. If you're not using Ekiga then skip down to step 13 for the SIP phone configuration information.
- Download Ekiga for Windows by pointing your browser to: http://ekiga.org/download-ekiga-binaries-or-source-code
- Once downloaded, install the application with the defaults. Note: You'll see a second installation wizard for GTK which needs to be installed in the same default manner. Once it's done, it'll exit back to the main Ekiga installation wizard.
- Start Ekiga. A window will pop-up called Ekiga Configuration Assistant (1 of 8). Click Forward on the bottom right.
- Enter your name. Click Forward on the bottom right.
- The panel is for those who want to create an Ekiga.net SIP account. We don't need it for our configuration so we'll skip it by clicking the checkbox at the bottom. Click Forward on the bottom right.
- This panel is for those who want an Ekiga outgoing call account. Again, we don't need it for our configuration so we'll skip it by clicking the checkbox at the bottom. Click Forward on the bottom right.
- This panel is for choosing your internet connection type. Pick LAN if you have a sufficiently fast broadband connection. Click Forward on the bottom right.
- This panel is for choosing the audio devices Ekiga will use for VoIP calls. The defaults should be fine in most cases. Click Forward on the bottom right.
- This panel is for choosing a webcam for video calling. If you one then pick it. If you don't have one then don't worry about it. Either way we won't be making video calls in this configuration. Click Forward on the bottom right.
- The final panel is to confirm your settings. Click Apply on the bottom right.
- The Ekiga's main window should pop-up now. Click the Edit menu. Click the Accounts option.
- In the Accounts window click the Accounts menu. Click the Add a SIP Account option.
- Fill in the fields Edit Account window as follows:
- Name: Your name
- Registrar: sip.sipsorcery.com
- User: Your SipSorcery Username that you created in the last section
- Authenticated User: Leave it blank
- Password: Enter your SipSorcery password that you created in the last section
- Timeout: 3600
- Make sure the checkbox next to Enable Account is ticked.
- If you typed in everything correctly then you should see Registered displayed under Status for your new account. If not, then edit your account settings. Click Close to return to the main Ekiga window.
- That's it our Ekiga softphone set up is now complete. Next we need to get an incoming phone number from a VoIP company.
Click OK.
Incoming SIP Phone Number
Note: Several companies offer US phone numbers for free incoming VoIP calls. I will use IPKall but you may get a free number from SipGate or IPComms.net. If you don't use IPKall then the configuration is slightly different. Instead of following this section, you'll need add the login credentials for the provider on the SIP Providers tab in SipSorcery. This is done by clicking on SIP Providers -> Add on the top box called SIP Providers. Enter your SIP provider's Name, Username, Password, Server Address, tick the Register box, and leave the Register Contact field alone (it should be your SipSorcery address), and click Add. Once you've successfully completed this step SipSorcery will show a message in the bottom box called SIP Providers Registration confirming that you're credentials work. Substitute your alternate provider's phone number wherever I put in the IPKall phone number in the remaining sections.
- Get an IPKall phone number by pointing your browser to: http://www.ipkall.com
- Click *Sign-Up*
- Enter in the following information:
- Choose your account type: SIP
- Choose Area Code for your IPKall Number: 425 (explained below)
- SIP Phone number: Your SipSorcery Username
- SIP Proxy: (ex. sip.fwdi.net): sipsorcery.com
- Email Address: Your Email Address
- Password: 4-digit numerical pin
- # of Seconds to ring before hanging up: 120
- Enter in the ReCaptcha and click Submit.
- This next page is a confirmation screen. Save the information so you can log back in later. Your new IPKall number will be emailed to you.
- Check your email and write down your phone number for the following steps.
- If you would like to test your set up so far, then call your IPKall phone number another phone. Your Ekiga client should ring on your computer. Once you pick up you should be able to hear your voice through your computer.
Note: IPKall only gives phone numbers in the state of Washington. This doesn't matter because no one will be using this number besides Google Voice to forward your calls. IPKall numbers expire if they aren't used for 30 days so the numbers are put back into the available pool. Many Google Voice accounts that are no longer used still reference expired IPKall numbers therefore Google Voice won't allow you to use them as your forwarding number. I've had the best luck with area code 425. If for some reason Google Voice does not allow you to use an IPKall number then log back in to IPKall, delete your account, and recreate another for a new number using the above instructions.
Google Voice Account Creation
- Create a Google Voice account by pointing your browser to: http://google.com/voice
- Pick your Google Voice phone number by entering an Area code, city or zip code and/or a Word, phrase, number. Click Continue once you find a phone number you like.
- Confirm your Google Voice phone number (write it down), enter a 4-digit numerical pin (twice), read and accept the terms and conditions, and click Continue.
- Add a forwarding phone number by entering in your IPKall phone number from the previous section. Leave the Phone Type as Home. Click Continue.
- If Google Voice did not accept your IPKall phone number because it is in use by another account then you must read the note at the end of the previous section. In a new browser window or tab you'll need to delete your IPKall account and create another one to get a different number. Then return to the Google Voice window or tab to reenter your forwarding number.
- If everything went smoothly then Google Voice will ask to confirm your forwarding number. Note down the two-digit code. Make sure Ekiga is running and switch to the Dialpad tab. Click Call me now.
- Wait for Ekiga to ring, answer, and enter the code on the Ekiga dialpad using your mouse. Once the recording says your phone has been activate hang up. The browser window will have a message confirming your Google Voice number. Click Finish.
- Now click Settings (top right) -> Voice Settings -> Calls. Turn off Call Screening. Google will ask you to confirm this change, do so. Finally, click Save Changes.
- You can now test your Google Voice number by calling it from another phone. Ekiga should ring on your computer. If so, congratulations inbound calling works! Now we need to setup outbound calling in SipSorcery.
Outbound Google Voice Calls
Outbound calling with Google Voice without a computer requires some clever magic with a SipSorcery dialplan. We will set that up next.
Note: You will need to enter in your Google Voice username and password into the SipSorcery dialplan. Some people have their reservations about this step but it's a choice that's best left up to you. I've been using Aaron's SipSorcery for a very long time and I trust him as do many others. However, if that's not enough then you can always create another Google Voice account with a throw-away email address and password. The choice is yours (see disclaimer above).
- Go to SipSorcery by pointing your browser to: http://www.sipsorcery.com
- Click Click for SIP Sorcery Portal. Note: You must have Microsoft Silverlight installed!
- Login with your username and password.
- Once logged in, click Dial Plans.
- Click the default dial plan. Erase sys.Log("hello world") that's in the dial plan so it is blank.
- This is Mike Telis' Simple Dial Plan.

- Scroll to the top of the black box where you just pasted the Simple Dial Plan so we can edit a 4 specific fields.
- The lines we're going edit are the following (do not edit anything else in the script):
1 2 3 4
AREA_CODE = '717' # my area code GV_USER = 'firstname.lastname@example.com' # my GV e-mail address (email@example.com) GV_PASS = 'GV password' # my GV password CB_NUMBER = '1aaaxxxyyyy' # my 11-digit SIP number (only one)
- Change 717 to the area code of your Google Voice number. Leave the apostrophes in place only edit the 3 number in between!
- Change email@example.com to your Google Voice login email. Leave the apostrophes in place only edit the email address in between!
- Change GV password to your Google Voice login password. Leave the apostrophes in place only edit the numbers or letters in between!
- Change 1aaaxxxyyyy to your IPKall number. Leave the apostrophes in place only edit the numbers in between!
- Just to be clear: leave the apostrophes in place and only edit the 4 lines above. Nothing else! Once done, click Update.
- If you took too much time, then the dial plan update will fail. To fix this problem you'll have copy your edited dial plan to Notepad, log out and relogin to SipSorcery, go back to the default dial plan, clear the box, and paste in your edited dial plan.
- If everything worked then you should see the following message:
- That's it! Now go to Ekiga and dial "266." If your dial plan is entered correctly then you should be hearing CNN headlines through your computer speakers. Hang up and try calling a US phone number and it should work. If it's not working then go back and recheck all the steps.
After logging out from Ekiga you can use your SipSorcery login credentials in another computer-based softphone, a WiFi/3G phone's SIP client, or a analog telephony adapter like the Linksys PAP2T-NA. I've used this configuration in all three scenarios and it works perfectly.
SipSorcery is a very powerful application but not a full PBX. The simplest usage scenario is to use SipSorcery to login to several SIP accounts on the SIP Providers tab so that you can receive calls from all of your other SIP accounts. There are several more complex use cases out there to do things like picking the cheapest VoIP provider to route outbound calls. Your imagination (and dial plan skills) is the limit so browse the SipSorcery forums to see what others are doing. If you want even more control over your VoIP calls such as menu systems for incoming calls and other great things then check out Ward Mundy's The Incredible PBX. It can incorporate several Google Voice lines in different area codes and much more.
How-To: Access Free IPv6 Usenet Servers
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the successor to the currently used IPv4. Outside of geek circles I seldom hear of people talking much about IPv6. Unfortunately IPv6 hasn't enjoyed broad deployment for reasons beyond the scope of this post. Several large web destinations exist today that allow access over IPv6 but they also available over IPv4. It wasn't until some tinkering in my free time with IPv6 that I realized there are free Usenet servers available only to IPv6 users. If you're like me then your internet connection is of the IPv4 type putting the IPv6-enabled internet out of reach. Lucky for us a simple solution exists called tunneling.
In this 'how to' I'll explain how to get a simple tunnel set up on a Windows 7 machine to access three free IPv6-only Usenet servers. I'm using a 32-bit clean install of Windows 7 Starter with no major changes to the OS other than disabling UAC and not having installed any virus scanner. Both are no-nos for production machines. I'll be using gogoNET's free tunneling software and the open-source SABnzbd+ Usenet client. Other options exist for both but the basic concepts will be the same.
As always, make sure you back up your machine before attempting this because I am not responsible for any disasters by following these directions. Lastly, don't use this information to do anything illegal or abuse the generous providers giving away these free services.
Part 1: IPv6 Client Setup
- Direct your browser to gogo6's website. You will need to register with gogo6 (its free) via their Ning-based social network.
- Once you've created the account and logged in to the above download page you'll need to download the appropriate "gogoCLIENT – Basic version" (either 32 or 64 bit) for your platform. Ignore the other downloads on that page.
- Run the "gogoCLIENT – Basic version" file you just downloaded. You'll need to agree to the license to continue the installation.
- Don't change any options on the "Choose Components" screen. Click NEXT.
- Don't change the Destination Folder on the "Choose Install Location" screen unless you know what you're doing. Click INSTALL.
- During the install Windows 7 may pop up a "Would you like to install this device software?" dialog box when its time to install the gogoTUN tunnel driver. It is up to you whether you choose to click the box next to "Always trust software from "gogo6 Inc." — I did. Then click INSTALL. It may take a few minutes to complete on slower machines.
- On the final screen leave the box ticked next to "Launch the gogoCLIENT utility" and unclick "Show README." Then click FINISH.
- You will now see the gogoCLIENT Utility on your screen.
- Click CONNECT without changing anything.
- If everything went correctly you should see a successful connection message similar to the one below.
- To be sure everything is working correctly navigate in an IPv6-enabled browser like Firefox http://ipv6.google.com. If you see the Google search page with an animated Google logo then you've succeeded in connecting to your first IPv6 website. Congratulations!
- For more advanced users: You can obtain credentials from gogo6 that can be put into the client which gives some benefits but I'll leave that to the reader to figure out.
Part 2: Installing and Configuring SABnzbd+ Usenet Client
- As stated earlier, I'm going to use SABnzbd+ but you're welcome to use the Usenet client you prefer.
- Go to the SABnzbd+ download page and grab the latest beta version of the Windows Installer.
- Once downloaded, run the setup file. You must agree to the license to continue. Click I AGREE.
- I dislike icons on my desktop so I untick the "Desktop Icon" option on the Choose Components screen. Click NEXT
- Don't change the Destination Folder on the "Choose Install Location" screen unless you know what you're doing. Click NEXT.
- Then click INSTALL on the "Choose Start Menu Folder" page.
- On the final screen untick "Show Release Notes" and click FINISH.
- A browser window should come up with the address: http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/. This is how SABnzbd+ is accessed. Bookmark it in your browser.
- Click CONFIG.
- Click SERVERS
- Fill out the first server as below:
Host: newszilla6.xs4all.nl
Port: 119
Username: < Leave Blank >
Password: < Leave Blank >
# Connections: 2
Timeout: 120
X Enable
O Optional
Where X is a ticked tickbox and O is a black tickbox.
- Click TEST SERVER. If the server is working and you filled in everything correctly this should pop up a box that says "Connection Successful!" If not, then recheck all your settings. If everything is fine then move on to the next step and read the note below about free servers.
- Click SAVE CHANGES.
- A new blank box should be next to the box you just filled out. Fill out the second server as below:
Host: news.ipv6.eweka.nl
Port: 119
Username: < Leave Blank >
Password: < Leave Blank >
# Connections: 2
Timeout: 120
X Enable
O Optional
Where X is a ticked tickbox and O is a black tickbox.
- Click TEST SERVER. If the server is working and you filled in everything correctly this should pop up a box that says "Connection Successful!" If not, then recheck all your settings. If everything is fine then move on to the next step and (if you haven't already) read the note below about free servers.
- Click SAVE CHANGES.
- The third server requires a free login. Open a new tab in your browser and navigate to: http://www.xsnews.com/ipv6/. Click the link that says "deze pagina" and type in your email address. This should result in you getting an email shortly with login credentials.
- Go back to the tab with SABnzbd. A new blank box should be next to the two boxes you just filled out. Fill out the third server as below:
Host: reader.ipv6.xsnews.nl
Port: 119
Username: < Put the user name you just got in your email >
Password: < Put the password you just got in your email >
# Connections: 2
Timeout: 120
X Enable
O Optional
Where X is a ticked tickbox and O is a black tickbox.
- Click TEST SERVER. If the server is working and you filled in everything correctly this should pop up a box that says "Connection Successful!" If not, then recheck all your settings. If everything is fine then move on to the next step and (if you haven't already) read the note below about free servers.
- Click SAVE CHANGES.
- Note: Usenet servers tend to be as reliable as their cost. If these free servers are down then give it some time and hopefully they'll come back up. At this time, only newszilla6.xs4all.nl is working for me. If you can't wait then you can always buy an account over at GigaNews.
That should do it for the basic configuration of both IPv6 and SABnzbd+. There are many more things that can be done with some time and Google by your side. Now find or make a NZB file from http://binsearch.info and upload the NZB file to SABnzbd and watch it download over IPv6. It won't be very fast but it should give the average user a taste of IPv6 and Usenet. There are some great Linux distro NZB files only a few clicks away so knock yourself out.
My Twitter Refollow Policy & Other Odds and Ends
Hard on the heels of @RayBeckerman's Twitter refollow policy, I've decided to pen my own. Twitter is a great tool for spreading information in short bursts but it has been hampered by the large amount of marketing, self-promotion, bots, and adult-content promoters. I have a finite amount of time per day so any extra time spent in one area means making a sacrifice somewhere else. Therefore, I aim to maximize my Twitter return on investment (TwiROI).
Let me first share how I use Twitter:
- I filter through hundreds of websites that post thousands of pieces of news, commentaries, studies, and other media on a broad range of topics (collectively referred to as "posts" from this points forward). The end result is a somewhat manageable amount of items that I can read. I further reduce this set of posts into potential tweets.
- My tweets are structured in a predictable way:
- The type of post comes first followed by a colon. For example: "News," "Politics," "Opinion," "Research/Study," etc.
- The headline is next. If I can't fit the headline within the character limit or it's ambiguous then I may modify it but I try to avoid this as much as possible.
- A link to the post through a URL shortener comes next followed by a hyphen.
- In this space I may include include a short comment. There are times when I let the headline stand for itself by omitting a comment.
- Finally, I include hashtags to ease the search for content. I may also go back and add hashes to key words within the headline.
- Due to obligations in real life, I schedule my tweets at no more than a 15-minute interval instead of sending them out in real-time. I break this rule when there is some breaking news or event upon which I can share articles and/or thoughts.
- Any content I tweet, even if I include a comment, is to never be considered an endorsement of the message, opinions, beliefs, or mission of that person, group, organization, business, government, etc. In fact, I will tweet items that are spread along the full spectrum from "completely agree" to "completely disagree." Therefore, all a tweet means is that I considered the information worth a set of eyeballs but nothing more. I prefer my readers to take the information and make up their own mind.
- I enjoy and encourage discussion but my replies will be delayed. I try my best to check Twitter when I can and respond where it is appropriate but it can take several hours. When I do respond my replies are almost always in real-time.
- I have been known to retweet noteworthy tweets using the classic RT format (or the "via" format). If the tweet is too long then I may use the newer (and much-hated) API-based RT method Twitter introduced. I try to avoid retweeting too much as I don't like to duplicate content.
- I encourage fellow tweeters to send me articles, blog posts, etc. that they find interesting and/or important. I will do my best to read it and if it is appropriate (and I have permission) then I may RT it my readers.
- I read every linked article. If I have not read it then I will not tweet it.
- I may post tweets that I categorize as purely personal. These refers to linkless tweets that are random comments or observations on whatever I'm doing (or have done) in real life. This may include pictures and other media.
- I will never send sponsored tweets.
- I read tweets through highly filtered lists due to "bandwidth/time" constraints. This means that I cannot promise to read every single tweet every person sends out. However, chances are that if we converse then I will read your stream and occasionally respond.
Here are my rules (apologies to Ray for stealing most of them) on how to not be refollowed:
- Your Twitter account is primarily about selling products (teeth whitening, car insurance, real estate, SEO, etc.), promoting yourself, promoting your business, promoting your products, or promoting your religion (with the expectation that I become a convert).
- Your Twitter account is primarily used for company PR that manned by an employee or an automated bot. I don't have a problem if you're providing another means for customers to provide feedback or to help use your business services but if you're advertising then I'm not interested. If you SPAM me (adult-content promoters especially) then I'll report you to @SPAM so you're account is terminated.
- You want to be my savior, life coach, or show me the path to spiritual redemption.
- A majority of your tweets come from a client called "API" (meaning you're a bot), you steal other people's tweets in an attempt to make your account look legitimate, or you are trying to make money by allowing business to advertise to your followers. We call this SPAM.
- You follow my account with multiple fake accounts with the same basic naming rules (i.e. firstname_lastnameXXX where XXX is a set of numbers) in the hopes of amassing a large following. I do not auto-refollow.
- You don't have a real Twitter picture of your face, you don't link to a blog or a homepage that you run or have contributed to, or your description is generic. If I can't identify that you are a real person then chances are I won't be following you.
- I'm not interested in adult-content. If your picture is not something I'd feel comfortable showing to my 5 year old cousin then I won't follow you. If a majority of links on your page are to an adult site then again I won't be following you.
- Your account has tons and tons of #followfriday (#ff) tweets with nothing more than a list of people's @ nicknames. I'm not interested in sorting through such tweets. Giving your readers a recommendation for a person is just as important as to why you've suggested them. This is why #followfriday was created. Also, please don't retweet another person's #ff tweet. It's tacky.
- You tweet frequently about how to make money, get more followers, or achieve as much success as you. I'm South Asian so (like most South Asians) my parents will serve in that role in some way for a long time whether I ask for it or not. Love you mom and dad!
- Your account has only a couple of tweets but you're following several hundred (or thousand) people and are slowly collecting followers (aka disproportionate follow/followers ratio). Chances are you're a bot or a company planning on spamming people. (Thanks to @plasticmadness for this rule. She's someone I follow on Twitter.)
- You follow a hit-and-run policy where you follow a ton of people, collect followers, and then unfollow everyone following at some later point to make yourself look like a popular celeb with a very high follow/followers ratio.

You might not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but you might be able to train your brain into doing right by your money.
And that's especially important for retirees who, according to the editors of a soon-to-be published book about investor behavior, reveal many mental mistakes and emotional issues that influence their decision-making processes.
"Although retirees cannot avoid all behavioral mistakes, people can reduce their effects," wrote H. Kent Baker, professor at the Kogod School of Business at American University in Washington, D.C. and Victor Ricciardi, an assistant professor at Goucher College in Baltimore.
This requires, Baker and Ricciardi wrote in an email, understanding one's psychological mistakes and emotions, and resisting the tendency to engage in such behaviors.
Sony joins health-tracker wars with Core
Sony entered the health-tracker market by unveiling its Core wearable device at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The WSJ's Deborah Kan meets Ravi Nookala, president of Sony Mobile Communication, to find out more.
"Retirees, with the advice of a financial planner, should develop and follow a disciplined investment strategy, assess their level of risk tolerance, establish an appropriate asset allocation strategy, and rebalance portfolios at least once a year," wrote Baker and Ricciardi, the editors of "Investor Behavior: The Psychology of Financial Planning and Investing."
So, from Baker and Ricciardi's vantage point, what are the most important things that retirees and those saving for retirement need to know about investor behavior?
Overconfidence vs. status quo
Some investors often exhibit overconfident behavior resulting in overtrading of their investment portfolios, wrote Baker and Ricciardi, the latter of whom is also the coordinator of Behavioral and Experimental Research for the Social Science Research Network.
Other retirees suffer from inertia and under-manage their investments.
"A compromise would be to create a solid approach between these two biases," they wrote.
Trust and control
Retirees need to create a balance between trust and control in the relationship between themselves and their financial planner, wrote Baker and Ricciardi. "Retirees who place too much trust in financial experts or relinquish control about financial decisions can suffer," they wrote. "The Bernie Madoff scandal is an example."
Yet, retirees who lack trust or overly controlling are unlikely to accept the advice of a financial planner, they wrote.
Retirees who take too much risk by not diversifying their portfolios often experience high levels of worry. "If they can't sleep because of their anxiety about their risky investments, they should consider rebalancing their portfolios to contain more conservative asset classes," Baker and Ricciardi wrote.

The United Kingdom's most prestigious art prize, the Turner Prize, was awarded yesterday. Congratulations to Elizabeth Price, who won the award.
In 2001, Martin Creed won the Turner Prize with the work shown below. We thought the occasion of the 2012 prize would be the perfect time to share this slightly hard-to-find video with you, plus a couple other of Martin Creed's well-known works.

A guide to unisex restrooms on campus.
The Unisex Restroom Guide provides the locations of unisex restrooms on the SFCC campus. Its purpose is to
allow all SFCC students, faculty, staff, and visitors to maintain their right to use restrooms in a safe
and dignified manner regardless of their gender identity or expression.
For many people who identify as transgender, the use of gender-specific restrooms can sometimes be
accompanied by judgment, forced removal, or feelings of vulnerability. Single-occupancy and non-gendered
unisex restrooms provide facilities that can be inclusive to all individuals, regardless of their gender
identity or expression. The presence of single-occupancy and unisex restrooms may be of importance to those
who are currently discovering their own gender identity, people with disabilities, and individuals with
body-image issues as well.
In order for learning to take place, students must feel safe; this safety is due all students, not only those
who share your values and beliefs. For this reason, courtesy, thoughtfulness, and acceptance are essential in
our discussions in and out of the classroom. Acceptance should not be confused with agreement; one need not
agree with a person to listen, and one must listen well in order to disagree respectfully. Every student in
this course has a voice and so deserves the courtesy of attentive listening and the freedom to express
diverse ideas.
"Misconduct for which the campuses may impose sanctions and/or disciplinary action includes, but is not
limited to…Intentional physical or verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion and/or other
conduct, including disorderly, lewd or indecent behavior directed at another person which has the purpose or
effect of creating a hostile, intimidating or disruptive learning or working environment at any
campus-sponsored or campus supervised function."
The legislature hereby finds and declares that practices of discrimination against any of its inhabitants
because of race, creed, color, national origin, families with children, sex, marital status, sexual
orientation, age, or the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability or the use of a trained dog
guide or service animal by a disabled person are a matter of state concern, that such discrimination
threatens not only the rights and proper privileges of its inhabitants but menaces the institutions and
foundation of a free democratic state.
The National Education Association believes that all persons, regardless of sexual orientation, should be
afforded equal opportunity within the public education system. The Association also believes that, for
students who are struggling with their sexual/gender orientation, every …educational institution should
provide counseling services and programs that deal with high suicide and dropout rates and the high incidence
of teen prostitution. These services and programs shall be staffed by trained personnel.

Music Monday
Jerry McGill recorded one single on Sun Records in 1959, then slipped from a rock'n'roll career into a life of crime, robbing banks and running from the FBI. He surfaced occasionally, to make brilliant records that never came out, tour with legends of country music, star in William Eggleston's notorious documentary STRANDED IN CANTON, and prove he was still free man. After three jail sentences (under two different names), aged 70 and suffering from terminal cancer, he's announced his return to recording. VERY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS follows a heavily armed McGill as he travels through four states, stealing whatever's not nailed down and charmig his way into and out of trouble.

Let's assume you export / download your orders to a 3rd party system, where you actually process the orders. The system downloads the orders, parse the products inside them and update the inventories accordingly. Your products comes with custom options with SKUs and Magento transforms your main product SKU to something like product_SKU - option1_SKU - option2_SKU.
When your system finds such product, it won't be able to update the inventory correctly, because a product with such SKU even doesn't exist. The SKU Policy feature can keep the main product's SKU untouched OR transforms all custom options to separate simple products in the order. Thus, you can export or download your orders without any issues in further processing.

PROVIDENCE – As one longtime newspaper scribe pointed out, "this is something that's been a long time coming."
In an effort to better coordinate with members of the working press – be their classification entail print, photo, television or the Internet – the Rhode Island Interscholastic League held a "Media Day" forum Wednesday afternoon at its headquarters, located on the Rhode Island College campus.
This first-of-its-kind confab featured journalists from daily and weekly newspapers along with one TV sportscaster sitting in a room that included a head table, where RIIL Executive Director Tom Mezzanotte, Assistant Director Mike Lunney and newly-appointed Director of Marketing Tracy Quarella presided.
"We want to give a better picture of what goes on," Mezzanotte explained about the primary reason why such a meeting was called.
For nearly 90 minutes, both sides discussed and exchanged ideas, the Interscholastic League explaining to the media what it does exactly, with the media offering suggestions that would allow them to complete their job in a more accurate fashion. The dialogue was open and frank, and always seemed to refer back to the primary mission that both parties share – better promoting high school athletics in the Ocean State.
Before getting into the specifics of the league he oversees, Mezzanotte expressed gratitude for the coverage provided. He brought up several states where the chronicling is not even close to being as comprehensive and inclusive as what this state's press corps provides.
Every outlet brings something to the table, whether it's a game recount from the previous day's action, a TV segment devoted exclusively to "Friday Night Lights," or the weekly magazine show that WJAR Channel 10 and Cox Communications produces entitled "Varsity Life."
Mezzanotte went on to discuss the league's stance on realignment and why the formula that's used in all sports is in place. Before introducing hard-core figures that would serve as the primary means in placing schools in divisions, the league would position a team based on feel.
One time, a school wished to know why it was placed in one football division as opposed to another. When the league could not come up with an adequate reason why such a move transpired, that same school threatened to take the Interscholastic League to court.
Such a near misstep resulted in the creation of a mathematical calculation that shakes out to 70 percent of a team's win-loss record over an eight-year period with 30 percent devoted to the school's male or female enrollment.
Citing a prime example of how the math shakes out, Mezzanotte brought up the Tolman High football program, and why it's competing in Division I this season after a successful run in D-II. The numbers computed placed the Tigers in the top tier while North Kingstown, a team that has struggled in recent seasons, could drop down a division.
"It's the procedure we have in place," said Mezzanotte about realignment, which is now revisited once every two years. "Is it fair for everybody? No, but we're trying to promote competitive balance."
Mezzanotte also clarified how the league handles the belief that the private schools hold a recruiting edge. He stated that prior to each season, the league makes it a point to sit down with representatives from each of those schools to specifically discuss what those parameters entail. Should the RIIL receive a call or an e-mail about possible recruiting violations, Mezzanotte says the school in question is immediately informed.
"We are not an investigative body," Mezzanotte stated.
The role of the Principals' Committee on Athletics was clarified; the PCOA is a group that includes 15 principals, one athletic director and one superintendent. This governing body meets close to a half-dozen times during the school year.
"They make the final decision," said Mezzanotte, adding that all realignment tabulations must be approved by the PCOA before becoming official.
The league unveiled some upcoming events, beginning with a student-ambassador program that will take place Thursday. One student from every high school is expected to be on hand.
"Kids have great ideas that can make a positive impact in their schools," Lunney remarked.
Another RIIL-sponsored event will focus on the 40th anniversary of Title IX, set for Friday, December 7.
Lunney addressed how the RIIL goes about scheduling facilities for tournament usage. He brought up challenges such as availability and whether the location is affordable and meets management needs (i.e. adequate seating arrangements and concessions).
"Our philosophy is that we want to get into first-class environments," said Lunney.
When it came time for the media to speak its peace, the notion of having an official scorer on hand at tournament sites was bandied about. It was a suggestion that has plenty of proverbial legs, especially when taking into account that one publication may adhere to a different set of stats than another, which then leads to confusion on the part of the viewer or readership.
"We're encouraging consistent scoring," remarked one journalist.
Before the meeting was adjourned, Mezzanotte announced the formation of a Media Advisory Committee that would use Wednesday's get-together as a jumping-off point to further strengthen the ties between the two sides. Several media members quickly raised their hands, a sure sign that positive steps were, indeed, taken.

Farmers and ranchers in Utah will soon have the opportunity to make a positive impact on their communities by taking part in the 2012 Census of Agriculture. Conducted every five years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), the Census is a complete count of all U.S. farms, ranches and those who operate them.
The Census looks at land use and ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, income, expenditures and other topics. This information is used by all those who serve farmers and rural communities from federal, state and local governments to agribusinesses and trade associations. For example, legislators use the data when shaping farm policy and agribusinesses factor it into their planning efforts.
In 2007, farmers reported a total of farms, spanning almost 11,095,000 acres. This shows a 9 percent increase in the number of Utah farms from the previous Census in 2002. Wheat remains the number one cash crop, while the sale of cattle and calves remains the number one livestock item. This information and thousands of statistics are only available every five years as a direct result of farmer responses to the Census.
NASS will mail out Census forms in late December, to collect data for the 2012 calendar year. Completed forms are due by February 4, 2013. Producers can fill out the Census online via a secure website, www.agcensus.usda.gov, or return their form by mail. Federal law requires all agricultural producers to participate in the Census and requires NASS to keep all individual information confidential.
For more information, visit www.agcensus.usda.gov. The Census of Agriculture is your voice, your future, your responsibility.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings
IngredientsFor the fruit coulis:
- 1 small cantaloupe, peeled and seeded
- 1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cups jumbo lump crabmeat, carefully picked
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons nuoc nam (fish sauce)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced jalapeño pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh avocado, halved with pit removed
- 1/4 cup fresh mango, diced
To make the fruit coulis:
Pureé the cantaloupe in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment until smooth. Pour into a mediumsized mixing bowl.
Purée the pineapple until smooth. Combine pineapple purée with cantaloupe purée.
Tie the fresh cilantro leaves in a 5-inch-square piece of cheesecloth. Add sachet to purée. Add lemon juice and stir to combine.
Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of sugar, if necessary.
For the crabmeat:
Combine crabmeat, lemon juice, cilantro, fish sauce, and jalapeño in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Fold carefully with a rubber spatula to prevent breaking up lumps of crabmeat.
Place a ring mold, cookie cutter, or PVC piping that is about 2 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide on each of 4 chilled plates.
With a teaspoon, scoop about 1/4 of the avocado from the shell and place at the bottom of the mold. Pack it down lightly with the back of the spoon.
Place 1 tablespoon of mango on top of the avocado and press down gently.
Top with 1/4 of crabmeat mixture and smooth off the top with the flat side of the knife. Carefully remove ring mold.
Repeat process on the 3 remaining plates. Ladle Tropical Fruit Coulis around the edges of the crab mold and serve chilled.
