Belize Rainforest Video Overview by Belize Tourism Board
Our friends at the Belize Tourism Board have put together a great series of videos giving some useful background information on traveling to Belize.
The video in this article is an installment video in a series produced by the Belize Tourism Board. This particular installment covers one of our favorite areas, the Belize Rainforest. The video is only a couple minutes long, but it gives a very interesting slideshow mixed with a narrative over view of the Rainforest. It shares information about the birds and plants found in Belize, but this is only a sampling of the options you can explore in the rainforest of Belize.
It also talks about the only Jaguar preserve in the world at the Cockscomb Basic Wildlife Sanctuary preserve.
The Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary is a nature reserve in south-central Belize established to protect the forests, fauna and watersheds of an approximately 400 square kilometre area of the eastern slopes of the Maya Mountains. The reserve was founded in 1990 as the first wilderness sanctuary for the jaguar and is regarded by one author as the premier site for jaguar preservation in the world.[1] The site consists of two distinct adjacent watersheds and is accessible via a low intensity trail system to accommodate visitors and research environmental scientists. ~ Wikipedia
The Cockscomb preserve is just one of the areas covered in the video and only one aspect of the Belize Rainforest. For me when I watch this video, the views are amazing, but the trees, the imagery of the trees in this particular video are mesmerizing.

iPhone Charger Teardown Shows Apple's Attention to The Details
Submitted by lalit on May 23, 2012 - 11:42pm.
We all know the amount of emphasis Apple gives to design and quality while making devices like iPhones, iPads and Macs. However, Apple's attention to the details doesn't just end there, they focus on making everything related to the product perfect. And this is clearly shown in the design of iPhone charger, as revealed by a teardown done by Ken Shirriff's blog. Ken concluded his iPhone charger teardown report by saying:
Apple could have easily bought and shipped a third party charger with Apple's logo on it for the iPhone, but they went one step further and designed the best USB charger available on the market for the iPhone. You can read the complete explanation about how the iPhone charger works and how Apple designed it on Ken Shirriff's Blog.

OmniVision Launches 16-Megapixel Camera Image Sensors with 4K2K Video Support
Submitted by lalit on May 23, 2012 - 4:49am.
OmniVision today announced the OV16820 and OV16825, two 16-megapixel CameraChip sensors that support 16-megapixel burst photography and can capture 4K2K video, or Quad Full High Definition (QFHD), at 60 frames per second (FPS). Built on the high-performance 1.34-micron OmniBSI-2 pixel architecture, the OV16820 and OV16825 were developed by OmniVision to support emerging standards in high-resolution video recording for the digital still and video camera (DSC/DVC) markets and the high-end smartphone market, respectively.
"It was an industry-wide assumption that smartphones would cut into DSC/DVC sales; but at higher resolutions, we're seeing a very distinct divide between the two markets and both remain strong," said Devang Patel, senior product marketing manager at OmniVision. "Industry experts have observed that mainstream DSC products are shifting to 16-megapixel resolutions and are offering improved image quality and optics. The OV16820 supports such offerings, allowing DSC/DVC manufacturers to provide consumers a high-resolution, feature-rich point and shoot photography experience, while the OV16825 provides top-tier imaging and video recording capabilities for flagship smartphones."
The 1/2.3-inch OV16820 and OV16825 image sensors are capable of operating in full resolution (4608 x 3456) video at 30 FPS, 4K2K (3840 x 2160) video at 60 FPS, and 1080p HD video at 60 FPS with extra pixels for electronic image stabilization (EIS).
Both the OV16820 and OV16825 sensors are available for sampling and are expected to enter volume production by the fourth quarter of 2012.
9to5mac: Apple Testing Next Generation iPhone Featuring 3.9-inch Screen with 1136 x 640 Resolution
Submitted by lalit on May 22, 2012 - 5:55am.
9to5mac is reporting that Apple is testing multiple next generation iPhone prototypes and at least one of those prototypes feature a bigger 3.95-inch screen. Chuck Remington wrote on 9to5mac:
Even though 9to5mac has been right about Apple rumors sometimes, we have our doubts about this 1136 x 640 resolution. If Apple is changing the resolution why not just go with 1280 x 720 on a 4-inch screen, rather than go with some odd resolution that's between 16:10 and 16:9.
TiVo Announces IP Set-Top Box and TiVo Stream
Submitted by lalit on May 22, 2012 - 12:34am.
TiVo today announced two new products to enhance its whole home viewing solution – the IP set-top box, delivers the TiVo experience on secondary televisions throughout the home and TiVo Stream, provides transcoding to enable content viewing on mobile devices.
According to TiVo, with these new products, operators working with TiVo can give their subscribers the content they want on any screen within the home, including secondary televisions, tablets and smart phones and all through the same easy-to-use TiVo interface.
The IP set-top box works with the TiVo Premiere Q, a home's primary gateway device, to give consumers access to live and recorded TV, operator VOD, plus broadband-delivered content on every TV in the house. It includes integrated MoCA to simplify home networking and multi-room applications.
TiVo Stream seamlessly delivers the content available on a consumer's TiVo Premiere or Premiere Q DVR to alternative screens such as iPads and iPhones. Unlike similar offerings in the market, this is the first product to enable streaming or download of shows simultaneously to multiple portable devices without interrupting what's playing on the television. The TiVo Stream enables users to quickly transfer shows to their mobile device for viewing outside the home.
Availability for both the IP set-top box and TiVo Stream will be announced in the coming months. No word on price yet.

Submitted by lalit on May 21, 2012 - 8:11pm.
Pentax today announced the new weather and dust resistant digital SLR camera – the Pentax K-30. The camera features 81 seals set in its compact body and is built to be weather, dust and cold resistant, perfectly working at sub-freezing temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C).
"No detail was overlooked when designing the dynamic new K-30 to be weather resistant," explains John Carlson, Sr. Manager of Sales and Marketing, PENTAX. "Every seam, every button, every hinge has been weather sealed for adventure-proof creative photography. Whether enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking in the Rocky Mountains or on vacation cruising along on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls, photographers can stop worrying about weather conditions and start focusing on capturing the perfect shot."
Other features of the new camera are 16-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor, PRIME M imaging engine, 1080p video recording at 30 fps, 11-point auto focus, 6fps continuous shooting mode, ISO range of 100 to 12800, 19 scene modes, shake reduction (SR) mechanism, 77 segment multi pattern metering system, 100% field view optical finder and 3-inch LCD monitor.
The new Pentax K-30 will be available in July 2012, priced $849.95 for body only and $899.95 for the kit including the DA L 18-55mm zoom lens.
New Silicon Oxide Based Memory Chip 100 Times Faster Than NAND Flash
Submitted by lalit on May 21, 2012 - 3:48pm.
Researchers at UCL have developed a new memory chip based on pure silicon oxide called 'Resistive RAM' (ReRAM) that can operate in ambient conditions without the need of vacuum, which was needed for chips based on titanium dioxide. Resistive RAM memory chips are based in oxides of metals, whose electrical resistance changes when a voltage is applied and these chips can maintain the state when the power is turned off. Phys.org posted the following about development of ReRAM chips:
Though researchers were able to store and extract data predictably from the new ReRAM chip, the actual manufacturing of the chip for mass use is still at least 5 years away. Researchers say that the silicon oxide chip can not only be used for memory storage, but also as a computer processor because of its unique resistance properties.
Sony Announces NEX-F3 Mirrorless Camera with 16-Megapixel Sensor and Built-in Flash
Submitted by lalit on May 20, 2012 - 10:04pm.
Sony has added the new NEX-F3 entry-level mirrorless camera to their highly successful Alpha NEX series. The NEX-F3 features the same excellent 16.1-megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor found on big brother NEX 5N. The camera also gets new features like a built-in flash and 180 degree tiltable LCD screen.
One of the new party tricks that NEX-F3 brings is the new Auto Portrait Framing feature for creating top-quality portraits quickly and easily. This feature identifies a subject's position in a composed image, and follows the "rule of thirds" to trim the scene appropriately around the subject's face, creating a beautifully composed portrait. The cropped portrait is then boosted to full resolution using Sony's unique By Pixel Super Resolution technology, which uses pattern matching to maintain superb image detail, tones and textures in the photo. Both the original and cropped image files are saved for review.
By Pixel Super Resolution Technology is also used for the "Clear Image Zoom" feature, which digitally doubles the effective magnification of any lens attached to the camera. Ideal for travel and everyday shooting, it's a great way to boost maximum focal length without carrying extra hardware.
Along with the new camera, Sony has also launched the new SEL18200LE E18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS LE telezoom lens that offers a powerful 11x zoom range. Smaller and 12% lighter than the SEL18200 lens, the new E-mount model features Optical SteadyShot to compensate for the effects of hand-shake. It also features Direct Manual Focus to give users precise control over focus settings, resulting in crisp, beautiful images.
The new NEX-F3 compact digital camera will be available this June in silver, black and white with an 18-55mm kit zoom lens (model SEL1855) for $600. The new SEL18200LE telezoom lens will be available this July in black for about $850. Check out the first look video posted by Sony for the new camera and the new lens.
Samsung Gets 9 Million Galaxy S III Preorders?
Submitted by lalit on May 18, 2012 - 4:22pm.
Korea Economic Daily is reporting that Samsung has received 9 million pre-orders for the new Galaxy S III smartphone. The newspaper got this information from an unidentified Samsung official, who also said that Samsung is running their smartphone factory at its full capacity of 5 million units per month to meet the demand for the new handset.
However, we believe this 9 million preorders headline is bit misleading. Preorders normally mean orders from consumers directly before the launch of a product. But the 9 million number reported by Korea Economic Daily includes supply requested by over 200 carriers in more than 100 different countries for next 4-6 weeks not just for the launch. This means that carriers are stocking up the Galaxy S III for launch and first month or two of sales, rather than actually having 9 million preorders. [Via Reuters]

Art: A big week ahead for sculpture, large and small, plus exhibits by Brian Christensen and Utah legend Neil Hadlock
Neil Hadlock gets
his due
With installations at Energy Solutions Arena, IBM Plaza and Abravanel Hall, no other sculptor dominates Salt Lake City's public spaces like Utah's Neil Hadlock. "Maran," a massive bronze work that dominates the north end of Abravanel Hall, is a case in point, and best expressed by the artist himself. "It rests on two small points that are no wider than an inch, creating tension and gracefulness," Hadlock said. That's a quote from press materials for his upcoming exhibit, spanning four decades and appropriately titled "Neil Hadlock: 1990 to Now." Showcasing Hadlock's prints, sculpture work and public pieces, this is a comprehensive look at one of Utah's true artistic legends. A native of St. Anthony, Idaho, Hadlock developed an interest in art by way of the metal and paint he saw as part of potato digging equipment growing up, according to his artist's bio written by Frank McEntire, who also curates this show. His student years during the Vietnam era saw him forsake the trend of literal meaning in art for themes and contexts emphasizing form, color, structure and texture instead. Even today, with his work in collections worldwide, McEntire notes that Hadlock remains true to the materials that first made him fall in love with art. In Hadlock's hands, bronze, iron, stone, clay, pigments and graphite take on timeless qualities to remind us that art can approach the timeless qualities of Earth itself.

Christensen and
Chun at Art Barn
The small sculpture installations of Brian Christensen and rich, expressionist oil paints of Oonju Chun opened May 4 at the Art Barn of Finch Lane Gallery. That's just in time for the spring season, when art mavens come out from winter hibernation in true force. Christensen's work of two small installations, plus pedestal and wall sculptures, speak to what he calls the "minimal space between conscious and subconscious perception," playing on the way the brain processes visual stimuli at all levels, from information to hallucination. Chun, who earned her BFA from the University of Utah, paints at an instinctual level, but also with origins attuned to her Korean heritage. "When I walk up to a blank canvas, what happens is a spontaneous visual reaction with each stroke of line or color," she states in press materials. "I relinquish the responsibility to create meaning."

Forest Gate, London. As drug dealer Kirby (Keith Coggins) is released from prison, young Jake (Ryan De La Cruz) is accepted by a local gang and another dealer, Ed (Ed Skrein), searches for his lost mobile phone with Aaron (Ahmed). Their stories become interlinked with those of a would-be teen model, a crack-addicted prostitute, a runaway single mother and a vengeful dealer.
As gritty, urban British crime dramas go, this is a good 'un. It may be slow in parts and its heart-sinking scenarios won't fill you with cheer, but it has bags of style and a terrific soundtrack from promising debut director Drew. It might just kickstart a few acting careers, too.

"Third of a second faster than Lorenzo the world champion! That is HUGE! The Yamaha camp must be wondering where do they find that time? Posted by RG500"
Honda played down the advantages of their seamless shift gearbox, but it's introduction coincided with Dani starting to win a higher proportion of races than he ever had before on the MotoGP Honda. A Yamaha statement a couple of days ago revealed that none of their MotoGP bikes have a seamless shift gearbox yet, but hinted that they had developed one. I'd guess that when it arrives it will have an instant effect on that third of a second.

As Forbes points out Jay Z is selling his share due to his sports agency, Roc Nation Sports. As a reminder, Jay has also sold his stake in the arena's main attraction, Brooklyn Nets, earlier this year because of conflict of interest. Forbes estimates that Jay Z could get $1.5 million for the sale of his Barclays shares.

Control of union's construction wing under scrutiny
A former union boss with ties to shady crime figures is denying he allowed the Mob and criminal bikers to infiltrate one of Quebec's most powerful labour organizations.
Jocelyn Dupuis said they weren't running the Quebec Federation of Labour's construction wing during his time as its director.
Dupuis insists he wasn't an intermediary between mobsters and bikers and the union's investment wing, he was just trying to help people get ahead in life.
He testified at Quebec's corruption inquiry that he didn't realize he was involved with organized crime figures.
Dupuis said he knew Raynald Desjardins had previous convictions for drugs, but that he didn't know about his Mob ties.
Desjardins is a former Rizzuto lieutenant currently incarcerated pending his first-degree murder trial in the slaying of a New York Mob boss near Montreal.
Dupuis admitted keeping Desjardins' name out of a pitch for cash from the union's solidarity fund when he pushed for a company called Carboneutre, a decontamination firm owned by Desjardins and another man with Mob ties.
Dupuis said his only interest was in rehabilitating people like Desjardins and giving them a chance to get back on their feet by working in the construction industry.
Commission chair France Charbonneau wondered how Dupuis couldn't know about Desjardins' ties to organized crime, given the media coverage surrounding his ties to the Rizzuto family.
Dupuis has been inundated during his three days on the stand by wiretap conversations between himself and various people with close ties to organized crime, such as the Hells Angels biker gangs.
He said he hid Desjardins' identity from the fund members and outgoing FTQ president Michel Arsenault because he didn't think they'd agree to fund the firm considering Desjardins' criminal record.
The fund never did invest in Carboneutre.

Exploding the Myth of Magazine Lifestyles
I was flicking through a women's glossy lifestyle magazine earlier in the week.
The women were groomed, thin, wealthy. They had successful businesses and beautiful children and had written best-selling novels. They threw tea parties for their friends with sumptously dressed tables and home-made macaroons.
I sit here writing this in between my sneezes, crumpled tissues beside me. Yesterday I had a grouch about feeling poorly & unloved. Glamorous? FAR from.
The reassuring news is that those women in the magazines don't exist either. I know because they've come into my psychotherapy room and told me about their real lives. They get colds. Their marriages are falling apart. They yearn for more meaningful work.
The even-better-news is that we can find our lives satsifying exactly-as-they-are. Hey, my head is muzzy and my nose is sore, but this apple & raspberry juice really is delish. I can look up from my writing and watch Roshi kitten swiping at Tsuki kitten's lashing tail. I can glance out the window and see the long strands of white cloud garlanding the early morning sky.
We can't avoid dukkha. Impermanence, sickness, death… insecurities, litter trays, parking fines, spilt milk…
We can know that our ordinary, non-magazine lifestyles are enough. We can watch Tsuki kitten meticulously washing her paw. We can text our beloveds and tell them we appreciate them. We can buy our rainbow macaroons from the French deli. We can be held by love, and by faith.
"Whatever you may be sure of, be sure of this, that you are dreadfully like other people." ~James Russell Lowell

Error setting up AD Sync and Login - Servicedesk 7.5
I uninstalled 7.1 sp2 off a server then did an install of 7.5.1 to the same server but now i am having trouble with ad sync. Said can not find some net bios component. "CheckAndResolveDomainName - general error getting netbios domain name System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x80072030): There is no such object on the server." I assome I have some old service desk part giving me trouble. does anyone have a set of uninstall and clean instructions. for uninstall and reinstall.
Comments 8 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Hi Kevin,
To me it doesn't look like this is a problem with an incomplete install. Rather, I think it's related to the AD Connection Profile information you are using. Some changes were made to the workflow build that underlies ServiceDesk 7.5 regarding AD Connection Profiles, and this may be complicating the issue.
If you open the Credentials Manager, and edit your AD Connection Profile, what are you using for the Domain Controller and domain fields? The Domain Controller field is new to 7.5, and must resolve correctly for AD Sync to work. It was added to allow customers to specify which DC to connect to if there are multiple DCs in a certain environment.
When you've entered your Domain Controller, Domain, Username, and Password - Credentials Manager will automatically run a connection test. Does this pass, or do you see the same error here? If you get an error, try using a different method for addressing the Domain Controller or Domain (fqdn, IP address, etc). The specific error you got is a common .NET error, and I found several instances online where users resolved it by using a different method to address their domain (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8086322/userprincipal-findbyidentity-insists-there-is-no-such-object-on-the-server for example)
Hopefully that helps you resolve the issue. If it doesn't, give us a little more detail on your Connection Profile and we'll see if we get diagnose it further.
Good luck!
When you create the AD Profile in the portal what is appearing as your Domain Name? If this is showing your fully qualified name & not the netbios name of your domain it is more then likely what is causing your problem.
This will cause the AD Name information stored in the database to appears as FQDN\Username and not NetBiosName\Username.

Jill Zarin: I Cried for "Three Days" After Crashing Ramona's Party
Jill Zarin tells UsMagazine.com she still can't get over the frosty reception she received surprising Ramona Singer, Alex McCord and Bethenny Frankel on vacation in the Virgin Islands.
"It was such a Mean Girls moment that I literally cried for like two or three days," she tells Us. "They didn't offer me a glass of water or a bathroom! We had just traveled nine hours, and they knew it. I had to pee! You have no idea what a schlep it was. Schlep doesn't even describe it!"
PHOTOS: Meow! Reality TV catfights
Zarin, 46, originally told Singer, 53, she wouldn't go on the trip -- which was to celebrate Singer's marriage vow renewal -- because of her feuds with Frankel, 39, and McCord, 36. But she tells Us she decided to swing by on her way to St. Bart's to declare: "'I'm here to make up with everybody!'"
VIDEO: Kelly Bensimon opens up about her meltdown
Zarin says Singer and McCord refused to give her a chance to explain.
"Alex was the one to really throw me out," she tells Us. "If she said, 'I don't care'' then Ramona would have had me stay. [And] why didn't Ramona say to Alex, 'Jill is my friend. She should have called, but I'm not throwing her out'?"
Says Zarin, "It was the most hurtful thing that's ever happened to me."

Eugene Volokh posts links to Lott's latest defences. Mark Kleiman responds:
Eugene Volokh seems to think that John Lott's responses to his critics are worth reading. I can't imagine why, except for those interested in abnormal psychology. He has been detected in so many different lies [*], some of them utterly pointless [*], that his words have approximately the net information content of the sound coming from your window fan.
Well, put it down to my interest in abnormal psychology, but I examined both of Lott's responses. First was a response to Michelle Malkin's op-ed. This response doesn't contain anything new, but it does collect together all of his various responses on the survey in the one place, so I have written some comments explaining what is wrong with his responses.
His other response is just his August 20 posting where he finally admitted to making hundreds of coding errors. There were many things wrong with that posting. I already corrected his false implication that the errors only made a difference of thousandths of one percent and also corrected his claim that Ayres and Donohue were keeping their data secret. And the biggest problem was his denial of the fact that correcting his errors eliminated his findings, which I explained here.
However, there was a new bit, in an update hidden in the middle of his posting:
It is also not clear that applying STATA's clustering command to all counties within a state provides an adequate solution to the problem of cross-correlation. While it is possible that error terms are correlated across jurisdictions within a state, the more important correlations may be among neighboring jurisdictions across state lines. Professors Eric Helland and Alex Tobarrok paper also provides an interesting approach that deals with this problem in an novel way and shows that the results are significant even after these correlations are accounted for.
You know, every now and then Lott comes out with something so breathtakingly dishonest that you have to shake your head at the sheer audacity of it. Helland and Tabarrok show that STATA's correction for clustering is not enough. That means that after STATA's correction is made, you still might wrongly decide that your results are significant. But if STATA's correction means that your results are not significant then Helland and Tabarrok's further correction will not make them significant. Lott's postion is like someone arguing that an umbrella will keep you dryer than a raincoat and using that as justification for going out into the rain without a raincoat or an umbrella.
It is true that Helland and Tabarrok found that a couple of results from the original Lott and Mustard paper remained significant after correcting, but none of those results were in Lott's Confirming "More Guns Less Crime" paper. Correcting Lott's coding errors causes his results to go away whether you use STATA's clustering correction (as Lott originally did) or Helland and Tabarrok's technique.
And Lott still has not responded to the question I have been trying to get him to answer for weeks: "Why did he remove the clustering correction from his model?" Also of interest would be an explanation of why, after I started questioning about his table that used the corrected data, he removed it and replaced it with one based on the miscoded data.

'Men of a Certain Age' - 'How To Be An All-Star' Recap
(S01E09) There's nothing particularly unique or extraordinary about the lives of Joe and Terry and Owen, the guys of 'Men of a Certain Age.' But the very fact that the situations and circumstances are normal makes how their characters react all the more interesting.
A lot happened in this episode, even though it wasn't big, dramatic stuff like you might expect. No, it was small moments, little things that didn't seem like much, but oh, what a blast in the storytelling. With the last episode of the season airing next week, this was one hell of a lead up to the big finish.
How hilarious was it watching the salesmen try to hustle the guy who wanted $22,500 and that's it for the sports car? He insulted Owen Senior about the 1972 season on the Lakers! See, the Internet is evil -- too much information, right in the palm of your hand! Later, memories of the '72 season influenced the old man's decision to cut back at the dealership.
He realized that he would have preferred healthy knees to heart when it came to the playoffs, but that didn't stop Dad from metaphorically breaking his son's knees by making Marcus top dog in the shop. Still, if Marcus had not referred to Owen as the 'water boy' on the crew, would Owen have walked over to Scarpulla Chevy looking for a new job? Doubt it.
That was one major change, Owen being fed up. Another was Terry's opportunity. It was a good turn in the story that it was Annie's ambition for Terry that wound up screwing up their time together. Terry's heart was in the right place about their relationship, but those ego strokes he received on the movie set were just too much for him to walk away.
He's an actor and maybe a director. Returning to L.A. to clean out toilets in the building couldn't compete, and -- apparently -- neither could those promised surfing lessons for Annie. However, T-bag may want to keep his guard up with those old buddies. They could turn on him in a heartbeat and probably will when it's in their best interest to do so.
There are times when Joe really seems to do the things he does for the sake of his family. Watching his kids splashing each other at the pool got to him. His heart said 'get the house.' But to get $50,000 to bid on the property, Joe used the love for his kids to do what he loves just as much -- gamble. He didn't even think of coming up with the money in some other way. He was thrilled with the thought of losing 25 large, and was even more excited when he won... by the skin of his teeth.
The Gambler's Anonymous meeting was a diversion, not a real solution. At least not for Joe; not yet anyway. His going to the meeting was Joe making a deal with the Gods/Fates/Whatever. He was thinking, "I'll go to the meeting and that'll show I'm sincere and you guys make New York win."
He was hedging his bet, because if he was sincere, he wouldn't have run back to the car to hear the end of the basketball game. Joe has all the characteristics of sinner who doesn't really want to stop sinning. And he loves that he's on a hot streak ... so much so that he probably drove Dory away forever by telling her what he'd done. He scared her off. Honesty is not all it's cracked up to be, and the moment he told her, he started lying about his gambling addiction and rationalizing his behavior. Oh, Joe, Joe, Joe ... you are a wreck.
Other points of interest
-- There was no mention of Joe rejoining the senior golf tour. Maybe that was just something he said to the bookie without ever really considering it outside of the back room at the party store. Joe's not big on follow-through. Either that or he realizes he's not good enough to be a pro.
-- You gotta feel for Albert; his neuroses are very real, and therapy isn't helping. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it? Albert is like a little Joe.
-- The opening in the diner about who's getting sex and how often was very funny, especially the one-to-15 rate Owen revealed. If he was telling the truth ... well, let's just say he was probably exaggerating.

How to Supplement Your Income Sharing Your Stuff
As little kids our parents would sell us on the virtues of sharing. "Share your toy with your brother," says mom. You might have grudgingly complied. But, when your brother gives you a big smile in exchange you feel good. As adults, you might find yourself touting the same virtues to your kids.
In an era where sharing online is part of everyday life, our minds have begun a shift towards more sharing and virtual trust. We share our space, pictures, time, car rides and even our expertise.
But, this post isn't so much about what you share with your family and friends. It's how you can share with strangers for a profit. This new trend is called the "Sharing Economy."
What is the sharing economy? It's an economy based on sharing expertise, time, space and items with other people in return for monetary payback. Yes, sharing sounds like a feel good childhood idea but its big bucks. It's not so much sharing but renting or collaborative consumption. It's a $26 billion industry and one you can tap into to supplement income.
In many cases the people looking to "borrow" find it a frugal approach to getting an item or service at a discount. Think about the items you own or the space you live in that doesn't get the use that it should. Most of the time it collects dust not money. There are people interested in "borrowing" an item temporarily rather than purchasing.
Note that some of these startups are running into some legal issues as state governments are trying to make sense of this new industry of sharing. Our government authorities are looking at regulations and tax laws implications. The startups are fighting back and inevitably the sharing economy is here to stay. It reminds me of the Napster days of music file sharing. The big music corporations wanted it stopped and ultimately their roadblocks led to their demise. Now, online music downloads is part of everyday life and big business.
Make Money Sharing Your Stuff
So how can you start making some money for the things that was once an expense into something that generates income?
Auto and Ride Sharing
Getaround.com, launched in 2011, states that the average car sits idle for 22 hours per day. GetAround claims sharing your vehicle 25% of the time will add $5,000 into your pocket (up to $10,000 a year). I personally listed my BMW when I lived in Palo Alto. It's easy to join and the dashboard is simple allowing you to communicate with renters. The company offers its own insurance of up to $1 million. There are no fees to join.
RelayRides, founded in Boston and now headquartered in San Francisco went live in 2010. It's another option for you frugal and entrepreneurial folks to use a vehicle at a lower cost or rent your vehicle to others.
If you can't bear to let your car out of your site, you can join Lyft and Sidecar. These two startups focus on carpooling. You can earn money shuttling people from point A to point B and back. For those with time and own higher-end vehicles, you can check out Uber which performs more like a private car service and some might argue as a taxi/limo service.
Frequent Airline Traveler
It wasn't too long ago that my off-airport parking bill averaged $115 per trip. I can only imagine the savings and potential earnings if FlightCar was around back then. In 2012, three high school students came up with a car sharing solution for busy travelers or vacationers who park their cars at airport parking lots.

Homeowners and Apartment Renters
Airbnb has rented over 12 million rooms in 2012. Airbnb works with the idea that you have unused home space, a desire to be a host or both. Maybe you have an extra bedroom or vacation home used only part of the year. You can rent out that space to others. In NYC alone, some apartment renters are making $21,000 a year sharing their apartments with tourists.
Now, why would you or a stranger want to stay in a "home" versus a hotel? It's the same reason why people opt to stay at the Days Inn or Ritz Carlton – the atmosphere, the convenience, location and price. I've used Airbnb a few times to rent an apartment in LA for a night, a weekend cabin in Tahoe and for my best friend's bachelor party in Costa Rica for a week. I actually found my experiences not only affordable but of true value. For instance, the Costa Rican rental was a few yards from the beach, a beautiful open floor plan and a short walk to the center of town.
Living near Train Stations, Athletic Stadiums or Downtowns
Have you ever driven to the beach and can't find parking but can see all those unused driveways? Or have you driven to a baseball game and wished that ideal parking spot were accessible to you? There are startups helping you solve that problem. ParkAtMyHouse and ParkingPanda are two startups helping you with the need to park with those who have the space.
Do you live in areas where parking is limited but have a driveway? Why not supplement your income with your unused parking space? That unused space could very well be prime real estate for others. ParkAtMyHome, backed by BMWi, was founded on the idea that parking spaces are limited in areas where masses of people congregate. With Parkatmyhouse, homeowners can rent their driveways and earn income.
On ParkingPanda's website, they state parking space owners can earn income minus their 20% fee and users looking for parking could save you up to 70% off.

The GolfersThis book examines in detail the historical background to the painting 'The Golfers'.
Great Britain and Ireland (GB&I) will take a 7-5 lead into the final day of the St Andrews Trophy at Portmarnock Golf Club as they attempt to win back the biennial team title they lost to the Continent of Europe in Italy two years ago.
Conditions were testing all day at the famous north Dublin venue but Nigel Edwards' side stuck to their task with his lower order showing real character in the afternoon singles.
It proved to be a difficult afternoon for two of GB&I's leading players as Amateur champion Alan Dunbar and European Amateur champion Rhys Pugh both lost their singles.
Pugh, lost 3&2 to Manuel Trappel, the 2011 European Amateur champion, in the top match with the Welsh 18-year-old behind for the majority of the game against his Austrian opponent.
Dunbar was four down with four to play before a run of par, par, birdie was good enough to take his match to the 18th. However, the Rathmore golfer found trouble off the tee and eventually lost by two holes to Edouard Espana from France.
After the morning foursomes were halved 2-2, it was the bottom three matches that went in favour of GB&I, which proved to be the key difference between the sides. England's Neil Raymond and Ben Taylor plus Ireland's Kevin Phelan all recorded important wins. Phelan holed from 50 feet on 16 and got up and down at 17 and 18 to turn his match around and win by one hole against Germany's Moritz Lampert.
"I'm really pleased to take a two-point lead into tomorrow for at one stage it didn't look very good for us as we were only up in two matches," said captain Edwards after the singles session.
"The boys were great at the end. The finish by Neil, Kevin and Ben was really strong. There's a lot of fight in this team, they're a great bunch of lads."
The result was reversed in the Jacques Leglise Trophy as Gary Stangl's Continent of Europe under-18 side won the afternoon singles (4.5-3.5) to secure their 7-5 lead overall.
The top match saw Irish Amateur champion Gavin Moynihan play out a halved match with Austria's Matthias Schwab, who finished runner-up to Dunbar at this year's Amateur Championship. Moynihan holed a most unlikely winning birdie pitch from the back of the 17thgreen before going on to share the spoils at the 18th.
However the following three matches went the Continent of Europe's way with victories before Max Orrin, Ashton Turner and Matt Fitzpatrick answered for GB&I. France's Romain Langasque's one hole win over Patrick Kelly finalised the opening day scoreline.
"The result may be a little bit of a surprise but I'm proud of the way my team fought all the way, especially when you see the likes of Romain winning at the last. That really gives us a good push for tomorrow," explained Stangl, who refuses to take anything for granted.
"There are still another 12 points to win. We know it's tough to play a GB&I team here in Ireland and I know they have a lot of experience. I need to be careful not to predict anything.
"It was a great day for my team, I am very proud of them and hope we can continue tomorrow," added Stangl hoping to win back the trophy GB&I won in Spain 12 months ago.

3,000* UK internet users were subjected to phishing attacks each day in 2012-2013, an increase from 1,000 in 2011-2012, according to results from Kaspersky Lab's "The evolution of phishing attacks" report. The analysis, which was carried out in June 2013 and based on data from the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service, shows that what was once a subset of spam has evolved into a rapidly growing cyberthreat in its own right with Facebook, Yahoo! Google and Amazon the websites most targeted by phishers in the UK.
Phishing is a form of Internet fraud in which criminals create a fake copy of a popular site (an email service, an Internet banking website, a social networking site, etc.) and try to lure the users to these rogue web pages. The unsuspecting user enters their login information and passwords into these carefully forged websites as they normally would, but these access credentials are instead sent to the cybercriminals.
The scammers can then use this stolen personal information, bank credentials or passwords to steal the users' money, to distribute spam and malware via the compromised email or social networking accounts, or they can simply sell their databases of stolen passwords to other criminals.
For a long time, phishing was regarded as a variation of typical spam emails. However, the data from this report confirms that the scale of phishing attacks has reached such a significant level that they should be regarded as a dangerous threat category of their own, not merely an off-shoot of general spam. In fact, email is no longer the most common delivery mechanism for phishing emails with only 12 per cent of all registered phishing attacks globally were launched via spam mailings. The other 88 per cent of cases came from links to phishing pages which people followed while using a web browser, a messaging system (Skype, etc.) or otherwise interacting with the computer.
In 2012-2013, 3,000 users were attacked each day in the UK – three times as many as in 2011-2012.
In 2012-2013, phishers launched attacks affecting an average of 102,100 people worldwide each day – twice as many as in 2011-2012.
Phishing attacks most often target users in Russia, the USA, India, Vietnam and the UK.
Vietnam, the USA, India and Germany have the greatest number of attacked users – the total number of attacks in these regions has doubled since last year.
The majority of the servers hosting phishing pages were registered in the USA, the UK, Germany, Russia and India.
The number of unique attack sources – such as fraudulent websites and servers – has more than tripled from 2012-2013.
Over half (56 per cent) of all identified unique attack sources globally were found in just 10 countries, which means the attackers have a small set of preferred "home bases" to launch their attacks.
The services of Yahoo!, Google, Facebook and Amazon were most often attacked by phishers globally – 30 per cent of all registered incidents involved fake versions of their sites.
Over 20 per cent of all phishing attacks globally mimicked banks and other financial organisations.
Top 10 sites targeted in the UK include BT, PayPal and one of the most prominent British financial conglomerates
"The volume and variety of phishing attacks detected during the analysis indicates that phishing is not merely one tool among many for the illegal enrichment of fraudsters, but represents a significant and visible threat. These attacks are relatively simple to organise and are demonstrably effective, attracting an increasing number of cybercriminals to this type of illegal activity. The volume of phishing attacks, which according to Kaspersky Security Network nearly doubled in a single year, confirms this trend", said Nikita Shvetsov, Deputy CTO (Research) at Kaspersky Lab.
A PDF version of the full report 'The evolution of phishing attacks 2011-2013' is available to download here.
*Research methodology
Data was obtained from 50 million individual users with Kaspersky Lab products who have consented to anonymously contribute their data on detected threats to the Kaspersky Security Network cloud. All individuals used computers running Windows and data analysed was from 2011-2013 (two equal periods, each extending from May 1 in one year through to April 30 of the following year).
Data analysed included:
The total volume of registered phishing attacks over a specific period.
The channels via which links to phishing webpages are delivered.
The geography and number of attack victims.
The geography and number of attack sources.
The classification of attack targets (websites most frequently copied by malicious users).
Changes in attack targets depending on the targeted country.
Important note: During this study, Kaspersky Lab identified a large number of attacks against banks all over the world. The names of these banks have been deliberately redacted from the text of the report in order to avoid harming the reputations of these banks.

One of the most controversial issues in modern-day America is the debate surrounding the rights of same-sex couples to marry. Currently, same-sex unions are legal in three American states, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa. Legislation recently passed in Maine and Vermont to recognize same-sex marriage. Those laws will go into effect this September. The state of New Hampshire also has an equal marriage law in debate right now, with state governor John Lynch pushing for stronger language protecting religious institutions before he will sign. That itself seems like little more than a stall and it is likely that New Hampshire will see the legalization of same-sex marriage within the next six months.
Despite all of the progress in Iowa and in New England, the marriage equality debate has seen stronger opposition on the West Coast than one might imagine. The whale in the struggle for equal rights is California, the Supreme Court of which recently upheld the highly-publicized Proposition 8 altering the state constitution to overtly ban same-sex marriage. Prop 8 did not, however, nullify those same-sex marriages performed in the brief period when they were legal.
The debate has branches in other West Coast states as well. Groups opposed to same-sex marriage in Washington are currently circulating a petition to place Referendum 71 on the next state ballot. Ref. 71 seeks to roll back rights afforded to civil unions of same-sex couples in Washington. If Ref. 71 comes to a vote, those who want the laws to remain where they are will have to vote Yes. Currently in the state of Washington, same-sex partners in civil unions have all the rights and responsibilities afforded to heterosexual married couples. Though there is no technical difference between marriage and civil union in Washington, equal rights groups continue to pursue marriage equality based on the principle that the current distinction echoes the Separate But Equal laws applied to black Americans in the first half of the 20th century.
When the California Supreme Court handed down its decision on Tuesday, May 26th, equal rights groups around the nation held rallies and protests. Here in Seattle the largest rally took place at Westlake Center and was attended by several state legislators, including Senators Murray and McDermott. Like many of the demonstrations held outside of California, Seattle's rally focused more on the issues facing the local effort, as well as the increasing cooperation between civil rights groups around the country.
For proponents of same-sex marriage in California, there are still potential avenues to challenge Prop 8. In the next election it is possible that voters may come to repeal the amendment made by Prop 8, or if a reasonable argument can be made that the amendment and the proposition that created it are truly Federal concerns, the debate may rise as high as the US Supreme Court. The strongest argument so far for the Federal debate is the nature of Prop 8's primary funding. A majority of the campaign dollars for Proposition 8 came from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a religious organization which operates out of the state of Utah. The case can be made that an out-of-state organization should not be allowed to so strongly and overtly influence legislation, or that the funding from the LDS violates the separation of church and state.
On a less specific but considerably more powerful note, the same-sex marriage debate in any state in the union, but specifically California, may be found to be in violation of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Article 1 of Amendment 14 states:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
In the California State Constitution, it directly defers to the above article in terms of its own Equal Rights Clause. It is more than a little cognitively dissonant to see that very provision followed by, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
The center of this debate may very well become a debate of the semantics of the intentionally vague Equal Protection Clause. Is the right to marry, regardless of gender, a right of Life, Liberty, Property and/or Equal Protection Under The Law? There are cases on both sides of the debate, but when we get into the nitty-gritty of the rights and responsibilities afforded to people by marriage, it's difficult to make the case that individuals aren't being harmed by the restriction of marriage to only heterosexual couples.
In the United States, civil marriage has a number of meaningful, tangible impacts on the rights and responsibilities of individuals. Take, for example, legal guardianship. In a state in which same-sex marriage is not legal and civil union laws are not equivalent to marriage, a minor under the guardianship of a biological parent with a same-sex partner may find him or her self remanded to state custody upon the death of the biological parent, despite the fact that the biological parent's partner acted in every capacity as a guardian. The ban on same-sex marriage also has dangerous implications for how medical care is administered to individuals with same-sex partners, as well as how financial obligations are incurred by a household. Essentially, not allowing same-sex couples to have equal rights and responsibilities as domestic partners creates unnecessary legal messes.
The core of this matter is that the arguments against same-sex marriage are moral arguments. This begs the question, is it the place of our government to legislate morality? Where does the concern for public health, safety and equity end and the people's sense of moral propriety begin? Furthermore, is the legal inequality of LGBT individuals in America any different than the historic legal inequality of people of color? One thing is for certain; this debate is only becoming more heated and progressive laws are becoming more common. By 2010, five (and possibly six) states in our union will have legalized same-sex marriage and they are not likely to be the last.

This small change would make a world of difference for annotating on an iPad. Virtually all other PDF and note-taking applications have some basic pen and highlighting tools that can be activated from a toolbar at the top.
The tediousness of the present set-up has led me to do much of my annotating outside of Mendeley (in PDF Expert). I then have to reimport the PDF back into Mendeley via the Desktop app.

Representatives of the firms assisting Western Carolina University in drafting a comprehensive master plan that will guide campus development and improvements in the years ahead will return to Sylva on Tuesday, Aug. 13, to seek additional community input. The drop-in session is scheduled for 5:30 until 7 p.m. in the atrium of Jackson County Public Library. Refreshments will be served, and community members can arrive at any point during the event to offer feedback. The public session is a follow-up to a previous forum held in Sylva in May. It will be led by Ron G. Smith, a Sylva native who has worked on the renovation project for the Jackson County Public Library and on WCU's Hunter Library master plan. Smith is among the principal consultants with the architecture firm McMillan, Pazdan and Smith, which is working on the WCU project with Hanbury, Evans, Wright and Vlattas, a firm specializing in campus design and planning. Launched last year, the 17-month master planning process has included public forums held on and off campus last fall to help the steering committee set directions, with a community meeting at Cullowhee Valley School. Consultants were on campus in April soliciting feedback, gathering information and conducting impromptu focus groups with students, faculty, staff and members of the community. A preliminary report and plan by the consultants are expected to be completed by early September, followed by a series of campus and community presentations for reaction in October and November. After revisions based on that feedback, the final master plan should be ready for consideration by the WCU Board of Trustees at its meeting in December.
For more information about the master planning effort, visit the website masterplanning.wcu.edu, where there is a "share your feedback" link.

Just keep smiling!!! It takes so much more effort to stay mad then to just be happy. It's infectious too, so you'd be suprised how much better your environment gets when you spread the smile.
Happiness is wanting what you have, not having what you want.
I dont have a set day for having a treat, I wait until my weight hasnt budged a bit in more than a few days and I know I need a treat day. Not only do I see the weight i was struggling to shift disapear plus some within the few days after a treat day but treat days also make me feel yuck and remind me why I eat healthy every other day. Im averaging 1 treat day out of 10-14 healthy days. It feels good to finally know what my body wants/needs :-)
Knowing I had to fit into my wedding dress AND I wanted to look good in it - I did the INSANITY workout every day - I did look great in my dress
