Seth Rogen Weds!
The "Knocked Up" actor, 29, wed longtime girlfriend, writer Lauren Miller, at Kunde Estate in Sonoma, Calif., Us Weekly confirms.
Officiated by a female rabbi, the Jewish ceremony took place atop a hill surrounded by vineyards, with such comedy all-stars attending, such as Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, "The Office" star, Craig Robinson, director-producer Judd Apatow and wife Leslie Mann (plus their three kids).

After exchanging their vows, the bride and groom drove off in a convertible, headed for another spot on the property for the reception.
"The wedding was more laughs than anything else," one source tells Us of the three-day celebration. "Every other line was a joke and the crowd couldn't contain their laughter. It was nonstop fun!"

Opening up about the engagement on Conan in November 2010, Rogen revealed wacky details about the proposal.
After buying the ring, "Literally, I felt like someone had given me like a truckload of heroin to hold onto, I felt like the feds were going to kick in my door at any second," he said. "I couldn't have a conversation with my girlfriend. All I could think of was this ring. Like, 'Don't say 'Lord of the Rings!' Don't mention anything about a ring!"

To calm his nerves, he proposed on the spot -- while she was changing in the closet.
"I didn't picture it like this, and I know she didn't picture it like this. No little girl is like 'It'll happen in a closet with my [chest] out.'"

Hello Folks,
I have been using CS4 in 36bit mode in Windows 7 for about two months now. Before moving over to do all my editing on this setup I have to get a wierd bug fixed, so I am reporting it here hoping someone may know the reason for the problem.
Upon opening CS4 and editing the first photo of the day, on a fresh boot the program will freeze after a few editing steps and will have to be closed. Upon reopening the program it runs fine for the rest of the day. I am at a loss to understand this. The very latest video driver is installed.

NAACP speaks on mayor and chief's response to shootings by Cleveland police officers
CLEVELAND - The NAACP spoke out about Mayor Frank Jackson and Cleveland Chief of Police Michael McGrath's handling of the deadly police shooting that left a man and woman dead a week ago.
The questions and comments came hard and fast at the NAACP's community forum at the Greater Abbysinia Baptist Church last night.
"All of a sudden we've got this one big, big case that has a very threatening tendency to your leadership, to your mayor's office to the police chief," said one community member. He said he was ready to fight to the end for justice for alleged Cleveland police shooting victims Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams.
"They were very profound and the mayor and his staff gave as profound an answers as they could," said NAACP President Hilton Smith, "the questions were just excellent."
Reverend Smith said they are pleased with the proactive response from Cleveland's Mayor Frank Jackson and Chief of Police Michael McGrath Thursday night. He said the mayor's words resonated with the NAACP and the community.
"He was very honest. Everything that he said the mayor will do. He will not sugar coat anything. He is the type of mayor that will tell it like it is and he did that last night," said Reverend Smith. "He handled some rough questions with some very direct answers so we're very pleased with that."
He said the chief's ability to be fair is not in question and they believe he's doing all he can behind the shootings.
"The chief is a very popular chief. People throughout this city really care for him and they respect him greatly because, again, he is very proactive," Reverend Smith said.
What is in question for the NAACP, according to Smith, are the findings from the East Cleveland Police Department and BCI investigations.
"That is the reason for not being satisfied because there were questions that the mayor and his folks simply could not answer last night," he said.
There were rumblings that the forum was to pacify the black community, but Smith said those rumors aren't true. Instead, he said the forum gave the community a voice.
"This situation is so critical so crucial to these families so the word 'pacify' is a nonentity here," said Reverend Smith.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — To unlock the riches contained in the massive Bakken oil field, oil companies are using relatively new technology.
Directional drilling reaches down nearly two miles, aiming to hit a narrow vein of rock wedged between two bands of oil shale. Then liquids are pumped into the rock, a process called "fracking." The technology is crucial and expensive.
North Dakota enacted lower royalty rates and tax incentives to encourage development of the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing industry -- going from one of the highest oil tax rates in North America to one of the lowest.
Production has quadrupled in the state.
That result is fueling the debate over taxes here in Alaska.
Bryan Butcher, commissioner of the Alaska Department of Revenue, says he and Governor Sean Parnell are backing legislation that would change parts of a tax code called Alaska Clear and Equitable Share.

›› Photos: Children find safe haven at the Soles de Anapra
JUAREZ -- Alejandro López, a skinny, smiling young man, was 16 when he started doing drugs on the unpaved dusty roads of his Anapra neighborhood in northwest Juárez.
It didn't take him long to move up the road of delinquency, first smoking marijuana, then using cocaine and soon, selling them.
"I have been roaming the streets since I was 11, when my mother left us," said López, now 18. "When you don't have anybody that tells you what is right or wrong, you think everything you do is OK. (My brother and I) didn't have anybody to advise us."
A few months ago, López found himself at a crossroads after meeting Lourdes Contreras, the founder of Soles de Anapra, a community center aimed at helping children whose parents have been killed or incarcerated for drug-related crimes.
He vowed to change his way of life and help the kids in his neighborhood walk away from drugs and violence.
"The majority of the children that come here are not with their parents, either because they were killed, or are in prison or (they) just abandoned them," said Contreras, 46, who runs the center in a three-room house owned by a woman who is currently in jail for drug crimes. "Many of these kids just need to be hugged and listened to. They need to know they are not worthless."
Contreras describes the center's philosophy using Jesús, an 11-year-old-boy, as an example.
"He was on the road to becoming a hit man. He was already selling drugs. His mother abandoned him. He was not able to give a hug. His heart was very hurt," she said. "All that I give them is love, attention, a hug. I want them to have self-esteem, to feel loved and trusted."
Located behind Mount Cristo Rey, Anapra is one of the poorest and most neglected neighborhoods in Juárez, according to a recent demographic study. It has also been an area with a high concentration of crime, including human and drug trafficking, prostitution, carjacking, extortion and sicariato, or killing for money.
"Most of the families are composed of five members and receive a weekly income of around 250 pesos -- the equivalent of $20," said Blanca Ruiz, who developed a demographic study for the Desarrollo Integral de La Familia, a governmental agency known as DIF. Ruiz now collaborates with Soles de Anapra.
"We found a remarkable lack of schools, day cares, public parks and opportunities for children," Ruiz said. "This is in area where the most vulnerable people, among the vulnerable, live."
Contreras, who was raised in the streets of Anapra, didn't need the study to understand the reality of the neighborhood.
Fifteen years ago, without planning it, she started helping children in the neighborhood.
"I used to sell tamales and atole for living. One very cold day, I met these two kids, Sandra, 4, and Sergio, 2. They asked me for a tamale and I asked them what were they doing outside. They said their mother 'had a client,' so they had to be outside," Contreras recalled.
"I let them in and they kept coming," she recounted. "Then, they brought other kids, the sons of alcoholics, prostitutes and drug addicts. They started coming to me when their parents beat or abused them. I became their defender."
Contreras said she tried to help as much as she could, but wasn't getting enough support from government or social organizations. She stopped feeding and caring for the children.
She again came across some of those children 10 years ago in an incident that seems straight out of a movie.
"I was a victim of carjacking. The guys put a gun on my head, ordered me to kneel down and not to look at them. I thought they were going to kill me and I just asked them to allow me to take some sand in my hand," Contreras said. "Then, one of the guys told me to look at him, and we recognized each other. He was one of the kids that I had helped."
That was a calling for Contreras.
"We talked for many hours. He told me that entire area had become a delinquency school. The children were learning how to use drugs, how to traffic people, how to extort. Between the ages of 13 and 15, they were taught how to kill," she said.
A week after the carjacking, some of the children were taken by the crime organization for which they worked to a nearby mountain, Contreras said. Twenty were killed during an armed confrontation, and two were incarcerated.
"One of them called me and asked me to take care of his little brothers," she said.
Contreras has since been helping the area's children, establishing Soles de Anapra in August 2012.
Today, 30 children attend the community center every day. They have breakfast or lunch and a place to play, study, do their homework and stay off the streets.
About 20 women -- mostly the mothers and grandmothers of the children -- help care for the children, keep the center clean and cook on an improvised wood stove.
Many of the women, including mother of three Ofelia Sarai, volunteer because they want a brighter future for their children and themselves.
"(My children) have changed a lot since coming here. They are more focused and they are getting better grades," said the 26-year-old Sarai, who was motivated by Contreras to take computer classes and is working to complete her middle school education. "I want to have a better job."
Other women are taking classes in education and basic computer skills in a government education center a few blocks away. The classes are paid by Chocaste, a local auto-parts store.
Soles de Anapra doesn't receive any funding, just occasional donations of bread, tortillas or food.
Marco Torres, a 41-year-old father of three who lives far from Anapra, is working to change that.
Last December, he launched a Facebook campaign to collect toys and candy for Christmas for Soles de Anapra.
Mesilla Valley Transportation responded and organized a rally that raised 60 gifts, two boxes full of Barbie dolls and clothes.
The company later also donated $3,660, which Torres plans to use to buy a truck and to register the community center as a nonprofit organization.
"There are a lot of needs there. They need qualified people willing to donate their time to help the children, but also basic things, like money to pay for the power, the water," said Torres, who sometimes takes the children to the movies in a private bus owned by one of his friends. "Many of these kids have never gone to the cinema before."
Torres and Contreras dream of turning the undeveloped lot next to the railroad tracks where the children now play into a public park with a playground and soccer fields. They dream of having a daily and ample supply of food, books and school supplies, and money to pay for teachers.
"Our love has been so big here, that I can proudly say that we have disbanded a (criminal) organization," said Contreras. "You see, Alejandro (López) is now helping us with the kids and with everything he can."
As Contreras was talking, López organized the children for lunchtime. The menu for the day consisted of three mashed potato tacos and a glass of soda. He volunteered to fix the wood pallets that divide one house from the other.
"I don't have anything to lose now," said López, who plans to go back to school. "I don't want to be a bad example for these children. I don't want them to see me smoking, making a joint É If they follow us, we should lead by example."

MP demands answers over Gdynia Way flood
Posted: November 24, 2012|
A CITY MP has written to South West Water and council leader Tudor Evans, demanding to know why a new road was incapable of handling this week's flooding, writes Keith Rossiter.
Gdynia Way, the main route into Plymouth from the east, was closed by flooding for more than seven hours on Wednesday.
On Thursday drivers were faced with more chaos as the deluge continued, closing the road for a second time.
"It's utterly appalling that the rain came down and the city hasn't been able to cope with it," Oliver Colvile, the MP for Sutton and Devonport, said.
Gdynia Way has been open less than a year after a multi-million pound revamp that left local traders fuming.
Mr Colvile said: "A lot of Government money has been spent on this road and local businesses were badly affected. I am just stunned that we may have to go through the whole thing again."
He said that if the road had to be dug up again he would fight to ensure that the council pays "proper" compensation to businesses hit by the disruption.
Engineers from South West Water last night sent a camera into the drains and overflowing sewer to try to identify the cause of the problem.
A spokeswoman for the company said they were "very much hoping" it was a blockage which could be dealt with there and then.
"We believe the problem is entirely unconnected with the new road layout," she said. "We have had a lot of rain recently and this is the first time this has happened which is why it took us somewhat by surprise. It indicates to us that the problem has happened recently.
"The working hypothesis is that it is a blockage or partial collapse, most probably something that has happened relatively recently."
Plymouth City Council, which came under fire after the initial road closure, said the flooding on the road was not linked to the £19million East End Transport Project, which began in 2010 to improve traffic flows in the area.
A council spokesperson said: "South West Water now believes that there may be a problem with the network in this area beyond the extremely bad weather, such as a sewer collapse or serious blockage. The company will be surveying the sewer to locate the damage and arrange to carry out any necessary repairs.
"Plymouth City Council would like to make it clear that the flooding this week was in no way related to the flooding that historically affected this road.
"Previous flooding was caused by inadequate highway surface water drainage and this was successfully resolved as part of the £19million investment in the East End.
"Prior to starting work on the East End scheme, Plymouth City Council consulted with all the local utility companies to ensure they carried out any necessary alterations to their apparatus, as well as give them the opportunity to include any future proposed works they had planned.
"South West Water carried out various diversion works necessary to accommodate the East End Scheme.
"There were no known problems with the sewer on Gdynia Way at that time."
South West Water will be holding a meeting this afternoon to discuss the findings from last night's investigations.

Whether you hope to write the articles that accompany your photographs or not, you might find it helpful to know what goes into a good article. Nonfiction storytelling is an important skill for photographers interested in working with photo essays as well.
Learn these three tips for telling nonfiction, journalistic stories. They can help you spot good stories, evaluate the written content and even write better headings under your photographs:
The "lede," which originated as an intentional misspelling of "lead" in the journalism world, is the opening paragraph of a news story. The lede also establishes the voice of the author and the direction of the story. In today's technology-driven age, in which many people read on their smartphones, ledes keep readers interested in the article. The goal of a good lede is to hook readers and ensure that they read the entire piece. For this reason, it is considered the most important part of the story and it is responsible for grabbing the attention of readers.
According to the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL), a resource for journalistic writing, the most important things to remember when writing a lede are:
The Online Writing Lab also advises you to avoid using flowery and unnecessary language. You do not have room to waste words in journalism.
Good lede-writing techniques can also be helpful when you are writing the heading that goes underneath your photograph.
Quotes can add authority to your argument and can support your article. But they can also weigh down your article if they are too long.
Peter Cole of The Guardian advises writers to use short, incisive, direct quotes to "change the pace of a story, add color and character, illustrate bald facts and introduce personal experience."
Work on paraphrasing longer quotations. If the language is specific or interesting, then you should quote it. Otherwise, a summary of the quotation can be attributed to the speaker.
Nonfiction storytelling has been popular for centuries – it was a valuable medium for sharing information and telling stories long before the novel became popular.
Here are some of the basic rules of nonfiction storytelling to live by, outlined by Poynter reporter Chip Scanlan:
Creative nonfiction storytelling relies on these elements. Mastering these basic elements of nonfiction writing can improve your Visual Journalism skills. Learn more at Brooks Institute today.

I'd just go to Northstar if I were you. I went to all the Tahoe resorts last year and had the most fun at Northstar. It also has the best village and your girl can just chill out there if she's not snowboarding. It's got a lot of good mid range terrain for a snowboarder which I personally think is more fun for a vacation.

If you stay at North Lake, Carnelian Bay is pretty far away from everything, but "Everything" is a relative term on the North Shore. There a few good restaurants, LOTS of good mountains...that said, one that everyone leaves out is Mt. Rose. It's on the mountain road from Reno. Highest base elevation of any mountain out there, so if you're not sure about altitude sickness, not the best place to start. Also, being on the middle of the mountain, there is absolutely nothing to do there if your girl isn't riding, but on Wednesdays they have 2-for-1 lift tickets, and the diamonds down the front are great for some serious charging. It has two main lodges on opposite sides of the mountain, one with a big-ass deck for enjoying a cocktail, especially on a warm Tahoe day. Great vibe, there will lots of people lounging around in tank tops on the deck. And while the views are great from up top, the peak is not only high, but tiny. It might kind of freak you out when you first get off the lift, because it drops right off. It can be a weird experience at first, but once you're used to it and know where you're going, I think Mt. Rose is a lot of fun and highly underrated. As is Homewood, also in North Lake. Homewood is super quite, only two green trails whose only real purpose is to return you to the two base lodges, otherwise it's all blues, blacks and glades -- and the most beautiful views you'll find on Tahoe. Some trails you can't even see the bottom, you just feel like you're going to ride right into that beautiful lake.
That said, the others' advice for your girl isn't bad. Personally, I can't stand Northstar, except for the long-long black trails running down the opposite side. Otherwise it is just a huge shopping mall with ski trails. Again, though, it will give your girl something to do while you ride. Mostly blues, mostly short, and the parking situation is terrible, even if you get there early.
Even if you stay at North Lake, the drive to South Lake is easy, beautiful, and scary as shit in places. The trip around Emerald Bay is not to be missed...just leave Heavenly or Kirkwood in time to kit the sunset and get home before dark. It is NOT a road you want to be driving after dark. If it's snowing at all, they'll close it in a heartbeat, too, but you can always drive up the other side of the lake, which is a much bigger road, still pretty, just longer.

I rode all over Tahoe last season and Northstar was the only place where I wish I could get my money back. I mean it is just stupidly crowded, as it is insanely oversold. And its totally gnar free. I can usually have an awesome time inbounds just about anywhere, but Northstar is the one place where I come close to saying - ugh, no thanks. You have to stick to the backside to not be annoyed out of your mind. BUT is IS workable for a day of riding. AND your girl can hit up the spa or go tubing or do something while you are out riding at Northstar. It really caters to the stay behind SOs
Or go to Heavenly at south lake and take the gondola from downtown. There's a little downtown shuttle bus that she can hit up. Then she can have something to do that isn't waiting around for you. Seriously, I remember from the one time I was injured and hung out at the base while my friends and my brother were out riding. I was bored to death. If your lady has a penchant for the booze, she'll be damn trashed by 2 PM everyday because she'll have nothing better to do. Yes, south shore is total cheese. But there are other human beings there. And while Sierra is a great mountain on the south side, its still a good 30 minutes from anything.
If you are looking for a big terrain vacay where the boarding is the most important thing then look at staying at Squaw or def Kirkwood (which is hands down the best boarding you'll get in Tahoe.) But if you just want to have a decent time out there and spend time with your girl - then Northstar is a good option as is Heavenly.

Northstar is pretty damn flat. But great for hitting up the parks.
Put it this way. I had three guys with me, that was on their 2nd time boarding ever, and their first time was Bear Mountain. And basically took them all over the mountain with no issues whatsoever (they fell but weren't intimidated by any of the runs).
Fun mountain. But not if you are looking for challenging steeps.

I've noticed that most people recommend flying into Reno, but I've been checking flight prices to Sacramento and they are significantly cheaper. Sacramento is an extra hour drive from North Lake Tahoe, but you can save around 300 in plane tickets between 5 people.
Is there a reason that people don't like to fly into Sacramento to get to Tahoe?

What made it FUN was a big storm that moved in mid-day, after the wives were off at the spa having a rub-down from Lars. Soon the wind kicked up and it started a classic Tahoe dumping...I've never seen snow fall that fast. 30 mph winds, white-out conditions. That's when we moved to the diamonds on the backside. Each run had a couple more inches of pow than the last. While I think Northstar sucks in general, it wound up being one of the best powder days ever. We rode those diamonds on the backside, all alone, for three hours, until they finally shut the lifts down because of wind hold.
All told...anywhere you go in Tahoe is awesome. Really. Just take your lady to the the lakefront park, or do the dinner cruise, whatever. You can't go wrong.

Reno is small, and you can find a nice casino-hotel to spend the night in after your flight. And it will be a long flight, you DON'T want to drive for hours through 2,000 ft high mountain roads after you land and deal with you bags and transfers. Your lady will appreciate a short trip and a nice hotel with a fine dinner and a hot-tub room for CHEAP. Seriously cheap...check Kayak, Expedia, whatever. You wake up early (maybe another in-room hot tub and bloody mary), drive up the crazy mountain road past Mt. Rose...pull in for a bloody mary at one of the two lodges, piss your pants looking at the chutes, maybe take few runs, and be at your hotel while the sun's still up.
Sacramento? Fly into a massive city and drive drive drive, and if you are coming in to Tahoe on a Friday/weekend night, they literally -- not kidding -- have cops blocking off all the in-roads to the lake with traffic cones and special lanes for the tourists and weekenders.
Just my humble opinion.

I've flown into both. Actually just had two weddings in Sacramento in the past month. Just got back this morning from one. Pissed because they could have scheduled weddings when the resorts were open so I wasted flights to the area without any boarding
My wife went to school in Davis so we go up there a lot.
Reno is more convenient. Both are quite doable. I've flown into Sac and drove to Reno. Flown into Reno and drove to Tahoe City. Flown into Sac and drove to Sierra at Tahoe in the morning, etc. etc.
While not ideal you can stay in Reno and drive to the resorts. Northstar isn't too far away actually. Being from Southern California and hundreds of Vegas trips, Reno during prime time feels like Vegas at 6:30am on the weekend after an all night bender. Kind of dead and slow. A few stragglers around town.
My friends are absolute gamblers so they always, always stay at Grand Sierra resort. And just drive out to Squaw/Alpine/Northstar in the morning. They get comped rooms so that's how they roll. and I've stayed there twice on Tahoe trips. But we haven't hit a snowstorm yet so not sure how it would be if one hits while we're trying to drive to the resorts.

Got a yen for yoga?
HOT TREND: Bikram Yoga instructor Fred Currin (center right) joins the class in a humid downtown studio. RACHEL E. BAYNE HERALD
Kie Relyea, The Bellingham Herald
You've decided this is the year to hit the yoga mat.
Bikram Yoga is arguably the hottest trend going in the yoga world right now - and not just because it's practiced in a humid room with temperatures ranging from 100 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit.

Banjo player George Buckner has passed his life-long love of mounain music on to his daughters Carly Mae, pictured, and Lily.
- Filed Under
George Buckner loves banjos and automobiles. Known as one of the best Earl Scruggs-style banjo players in the region, Buckner not only had the opportunity to play with Scruggs, he painted the iconic banjo player's car.
His Buckner Auto Body Shop moved to a new, much larger facility in Weaverville this fall, where you might find him playing banjo when he's not busy restoring a wrecked car.
"I just like cars and it amazed me that you could take an old junky car and make it look like a show piece," said Buckner, who went to work at Pike's Body Shop in 1989, making $100 a week. ...

I'm surrounded by Skins fans, and they all noted the punch and the jawing that lead to that.
Russell Wilson went to high school nearby, so lots of folks are pulling for the Seachickens. However, there is a fair amount of Skins diehards that are rooting against them just because of Sherman.
Me, I'm not at all surprised by his comments.
I am just rooting for chaos... and a good game
"Dick" Sherman makes me pull for the Broncos even harder. What a jag.
I see what you did there
An interesting take on it http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/1/20/5319032/richard-sherman-interview-nfc-championship-2014
The player I hate the most in the NFL (except Suh of course).
Go Peyton!!!
If he was wearing our colors, either of them, we would love the shit out of him.
Is it really bad to talk shit when you consistently seem to back it up?
He's the best corner in the league, he can say whatever he wants.
I live 70 miles west of Seattle. When we went to the store last Sunday morning, I swear EVERYBODY was wearing Seahawks apparel. I think I'm going to walk in there on Super Bowl day wearing a Bears sweatshirt.
Screw 'em if they can't take a joke.

Justin Bernier endorsed by American Conservative Union
Justin Bernier, Connecticut 5th District Congress candidate.
Justin Bernier, Republican candidate for Connecticut's 5th Congressional District, has been endorsed by the the American Conservative Union, organizer of the popular annual CPAC conference.
"Justin Bernier is the clear conservative choice in the Fifth District of Connecticut," said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas in a press release issued by the Bernier campaign. "Whether it is fighting for economic growth or our national security, Justin stands for policies that will help renew America's greatness."
Cardenas said Connecticut's 5th District is important to Republicans nationwide, calling it "a unique opportunity to elect a conservative in the Northeast" and urged Republican delegates heading to the May 18 state convention to support Bernier.
"As an Afghanistan war veteran and former head of the Connecticut Office of Military Affairs, Justin proved his ability to accomplish difficult tasks when it matters most," he said.
"I'm honored to have the support of such a strong national organization as the American Conservative Union," Bernier said. "The 5th Congressional district is the best opportunity for Republicans to win a seat in the Northeast, but this will only happen if we nominate a candidate who isn't afraid to show daylight between our party and the Democrats."
Founded in 1964, ACU is America's oldest and largest grassroots conservative organization. Its annual conference, CPAC, is the largest gathering of conservatives in the nation. ACU PAC says it supports candidates for office who reflect the conservative principles on which the organization was founded.

One thought on "Justin Bernier endorsed by American Conservative Union"
Kiss of death for Justin! In order to with the 5th there needs to be a moderate candidate. Too bad, I think he's a great guy!

Wherein a program coded to control sights, sounds, and smells bombs at the office
It has been a hard week, and Susan and I are chilling by the pool. Actually neither of us has a swimming pool, so we're having drinks in front of Susan's computer, on which I've just called up a screen saver that shows a moving image of water in a pool.
Actually Susan and I barely know each other, but we have been pretending to have an affair so that we won't get restructured. "They'll be too intrigued about whether we're an item even to think about letting us go," explains Susan. She's probably right. In today's business environment, everyone has to have entertainment value.
"Well, Sugarlamb," I say with a contented sigh, "this is about as virtual as it gets."
Susan and I are nervous about our jobs because the project we've been working on just got canceled. We weren't surprised because it was something way off what our company usually does. We were marketing software -- our company had never sold software before -- so the powers-that-be devised a pretentious code name for the product. Microsoft had used the code name "Chicago" for Windows 95, so we used the code name "Buffalo" for our thing. I guess the connection was Rustbelt metropolises, but I kept thinking about bison -- short-horned ruminant animals on the brink of extinction. We had a lot of in-house names for Buffalo as well. "Smell-o-Vision" is one I can print here.
Buffalo was supposed to be an extension of the special computer system Bill Gates is installing in his $30-million to $40-million mansion. The Gates's home computer will be programmed to control every system in every room, from heat and lights to music and TV. It's rumored that residents and guests will wear electronic identification so the computer will know where they are and program the rooms accordingly; artificial intelligence will fine-tune the system to suit the regulars.
Somehow our company developed the illusion that it could take this little hobbyhorse away from Bill Gates and let it loose on a whole new market -- perhaps businesses looking to establish room-by-room control of the corporate environment. Like Gates's guests, employees would be outfitted with microchips that tip the system off to their personal preferences in screen savers, lighting, music, and the like. We hoped, of course, to establish market leadership for Buffalo before Microsoft even noticed. Besides the element of surprise, we had one other big advantage over Microsoft: Gates's mansion was still under construction, but the prototype of Smell-o-Vision was up and running right in our office.
As the CEO put it: "To really sell those systems, we all have to be living personally in this ultimately networked world where the office becomes an extension of ourselves."
I met Susan on the marketing task force for Smell-o-Vision, and it was not an obvious virtual match. I would step out of my cubicle (Simpsons screen saver, Tommy as ambient sound, yellowish lighting, phone ringer set to "high siren," aromatic hints of popcorn and coffee) and go over to Susan's, where my microchip would send totally opposing signals to her default setup (Manet screen saver, Mozart, natural light, muted phone, scent of cinnamon-orange spice). The primitive Buffalo program had only one option when atmospherics clashed: it clicked into "meeting mode," a neutral, blue-gray-elevator-music kind of environment. It brought to mind the office before the prototype was installed, only without the personal touches people had applied with air fresheners and boom boxes.
In this featureless setting, Susan and I set out to find the optimum market sector for Smell-o-Vision -- the types of establishments begging to have their environment computer-keyed to individuals. We studied the reports market research had compiled from surveys of companies with revenues of $1.5 million-plus. They indicated that most respondents feared a loss of privacy. Gee, here you could be wearing an identifying microchip that would feed all your likes and dislikes into a central computer, with AI software that tracks the music, TV, Web sites, and computer applications you actually use, minute by minute, and people take that as a loss of privacy. Go figure.
Whom to turn to? Perhaps people whose privacy was not an issue to start with, say, prisoners or politicians. Susan and I figured we would start with the Big House. It had some money to spend and was a perfect setting for controlled experiments. We put together a focus group -- not your sadistic gestapo types, but modern, educated, progressive criminologists, thoughtful prison administrators whom we knew could see past the control aspect to the ways Buffalo could raise prisoners' self-esteem and improve their sense of themselves.
They loved Smell-o-Vision. "With this, we could really control those rockheads" was one comment. "Could you wire in electric shocks?" was an important question for product development. Then there was the hardware issue: "How can we surgically implant the chip so they don't know we're doing it?" The system defaults, on the other hand, would be a snap: "Just give us cement-gray everything, deafening metallic clanks, and foul odors, and set all the machines in occupational therapy not to work."
They could see that Susan and I were disappointed. "I know you imagined the prisoners customizing their environments," empathized one penologist. "But you see, our more stable population is conditioned from previous sentences. They identify the classic prison environment with security and status. They like it the way it is."
"Or they wouldn't keep coming back now, would they?" remarked another.
We would have gone ahead with the program anyway, but the economics were hard to justify. You see, virtual space travel, for one, is a lot cheaper than a real launch. But with virtual concrete, the numbers are reversed: virtual concrete is made out of video monitors and disk storage, whereas real concrete is made out of sand, water, and cement.
So despite the privacy issue, we decided to revert to our original idea: the computer-controlled office environment. The software developers updated the prototype, eliminating meeting mode as a response to opposing wills, for example, and adding a "couple's default setting," which lets the environment reflect a meeting of the minds. Then we sent the complete package to 50 select companies for alpha testing.
Some highlights of the alpha testers' reports:
Company A (makes natural bedding out of recycled dirt): "We put the individual chips right on our mood rings, but every time one of us picked up a cold natural-juice drink, fluorescent lights came on, the music changed into binky electronic Bach, the screen saver morphed into rapidly shifting geometric patterns, and the room got perceptibly colder, with a bracing scent of pine-wood and a whiff of freshly brewed coffee. We have a coffee-free work environment. The whole thing has way too much yin energy."
Company B (does market research on long-term responses to follow-up surveys): "The program worked so well that no one did any work; everyone was too busy trying different stimuli. Every time we had a meeting, they were like 'Let's talk about new products so the room will turn red,' or 'Let's ask some nasty questions so the program will go magenta to get us back to work.' "
Company C (sells product placements on cable-television advertorials, so when, for instance, the juicer guy stops for a soda, he turns the label toward the camera): "We got hacked. One day we came in and every office looked like a different type of syndicated TV show. Human resources was set up like a soap opera, so whenever Linda finished a sentence about your 401k plan, enormous organ chords sounded. The bosses' offices made the sound effects from Hee-Haw. The CFO got the audio of the car chases from Dukes of Hazzard. The help desk got the Outer Limits sound track. Your program needs a lot more security."
Susan and I decided to move on to the beta test, but then the plug was pulled on the entire Buffalo project. What happened was that our own CFO, Jerry, found out that our network administrators had been messing with his default pattern, changing the up-tempo music, pinstripe screen saver, and computer-screen wallpaper that read "Spend every dollar as though it were your own!" to a tie-dyed screen saver and the Grateful Dead as acoustical background. He ordered every copy of Buffalo destroyed -- as a cost-cutting measure.
Susan and I have the last one, set to our virtual lovers' paradise. However, some bug in the code sometimes burps the program back into Jerry mode. Once when that happened, Susan stomped her foot in frustration, and the swimming pool screen saver came back on.
Which proves nothing about Buffalo's potential or the nature of business, but only that no matter how smart they get, computers are still half television set. Stomp the floor, and they behave themselves.* * *

I don't understand why this is happening.

Your orders Array is only of size 4. Why the magic number 5 in the writeOutput for loop? It should be i < orders.length.

Silly me, that's what I did at first but I guess I wrote "i <= orders.length", and the equals is what screwed me up. Thanks!

indicates you have asked for an element of the array that doesn't exist.
If your array was:
int[] array = {1,2,3};
and you asked for array[3], you would get this exception. (remember,
arrays are zero based, so array[3] would refer to the 4th element, if it existed)
That said, it is always better to use the length of the array to control a for when iterating through an array, as so:
for( int i = 0; i < array.length; ++i )
this way, you can't overrun the array because the array size itself is controlling the loop.
In your case, you need to fix line 135 in your program (as per the error message)
I agree. Here's the link:

"Thursday is my favorite day of the week!
For the past seven years, every Thursday night, I have helped a multidisciplinary team of Children's staff and volunteers teach patients, siblings and parents about their upcoming surgeries at Children's-St. Paul as part of the Pre-Surgery Program (PSP). After the program, kids who were initially scared are often excited to come back and pick out a Lip Smacker smell for their anesthesia mask. In addition to witnessing the changes in the children that occur within a few short hours, I have also spoken with staff members who rave about the difference this program makes, and have volunteered with families throughout other areas of the hospital who have told me how much the program helped. We've also seen families return to the program when they have another child who needs surgery. Often the parents thank me again and tell their children, "This is the girl that taught [you or name of sibling] about surgery." Although this makes me feel super old (way older than 23), every time it happens, I glow for weeks thinking about it!
Pre-Surgery Program Volunteers Jake Starsiak, Evan (puppet), Leah Grengs
and Robert Mills
In addition to PSP, I have volunteered on the inpatient units in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, the surgery waiting room in Minneapolis and the Emergency Department in St. Paul, but have always thought of PSP as my baby. Not only because I have done it for so long, but because the mission of the program resonates with me on a much deeper level.
When I was younger, I had a stroke from a brain tumor and remember waking up at Children's after my surgery, scared and confused, while my parents and doctors started throwing all of these big words at me, such as hemorrhage, glioma and thalamus. I was paralyzed and told I would probably not be able to walk again, but that was all I understood. At PSP, we talk to the kids about special medicine air and going into a special medicine sleep. We help the kids understand what will happen and not to be afraid; that people at Children's are nice, wear clean clothes called scrubs, and will take good care of them.
After seven years, every Thursday before PSP (and now every Tuesday for my Emergency Department shift), I still experience an excited anticipation, and wake up in the morning so happy, because I know that I will be able to make such a huge difference for Children's patients and their families!"
Thank you, Leah, for all you do with the Pre-Surgery Program, and as a volunteer here at Children's Hospital!

Russell brand talks about Katy Perry on Howard Stern, Russell Brand just wants what every other guy wants. In what may have been a subtle jab at his ex-wife Katy Perry, Brand said he intends to get married again and wants his future wife to be "sexually adventurous." Brand and Perry were officially divorced last year after being married for 14 months.
"I would like to get married again and have a family," Brand told British newspaper the Daily Mirror. "I am looking for my future wife. I hope she's kind and sweet and sexually adventurous. I don't ask for much, do I?"
It remains to be seen if his second wife could be his current girlfriend, Alessandra Balazs. The 23-year-old hotel heiress, 15 years younger than Brand, is the daughter of Chateau Marmont boss Andre Balazs, whose girlfriend is Chelsea Handler.
It's a safe bet that Perry won't be attending any future weddings for Brand, though. She revealed to Vogue magazine that she hasn't spoken to Brand since December 2011, when he allegedly sent her a divorce request via text message.
Prior to Balazs, Brand was seen with a bevy of different women in the few months following his split, including actress Isabella Brewster, a Mexican actress and a Hungarian model. Brand admitted to heavily playing the field after his divorce to Perry in a recent interview with Howard Stern. "I had a little bit of a reaction," he said. "Like if you've been on a diet of rice for a while and then suddenly Willy Wonka said. 'I need you to run my chocolate factory.'"
Brand has long been known for his womanizing ways. He previously won British tabloid The Sun's "Shagger of the Year" award in 2006, 2007 and 2008, leading the paper to rename the honor the "Russell Brand Shagger of the Year" award. He then reclaimed his crown last year following the split with Perry.
Brand was also previously in rehab for sex addiction and admitted in a June 2010 interview with Playboy that he hired a team to help him target dream women to sleep with.
"My selection process was outsourced. I had a team of experts who took care of finding women for me," he said. "They had very specific instructions. It was as if I was talking to a wine steward. 'I'm looking for something French, a bit fruity, smells of oak.'"
Brand is gearing up for his upcoming stand-up comedy tour The Messiah Complex, which will launch on July 27 in Lake Tahoe, Nev. The tour was supposed to debut in Abu Dhabi, but he canceled all planned shows in the Middle East last week due to safety concerns.

Parking lot for Sammamish Landing comes in over estimate
July 31, 2014
By Ari Cetron
Council approves $2.07 million to build 35-stall lot
New: July 31, 1:19 p.m.
Sammamish's wildly popular beachfront park will be getting a parking lot, but it's going to cost nearly half a million dollars more than expected.
On July 15, the Sammamish City Council voted 6-1 to award a contract to build a parking lot and pedestrian crossing at Sammamish Landing Park. Councilman Ramiro Valderrama was opposed.
Sammamish Landing is the only public access to Lake Sammamish within the city limits. The long, narrow park runs between East Lake Sammamish Parkway and the lake along the northern edge of the city.
Sammamish also owns land on the other side of the parkway, where the parking lot will go.
The park has been popular since it opened, but has not had a dedicated parking lot. Instead, people have parked along the parkway, or on 187th Avenue in Redmond.
Last year, however, Redmond re-striped 187th to allow for bike lanes, effectively removing about 35 parking spots.
In response, Sammamish has done work along the shoulders of the parkway to allow for safer parking there. And its council has now authorized construction of a new parking lot specifically for the park.
The city had estimated the 35-space lot would end up costing about $1.56 million. However, as City Manager Ben Yazici pointed out, contractors are busy and costs are going up. As a result, the lot will cost $2.07 million.
The city expects to pay for it from the sale of nearby land (see sidebar) combined with King County Parks funds from a 2007 levy, supplemented with money from the city's parks department budget.
Valderrama recognized the need for the parking lot, but thought the city should ask Redmond to chip in for part of the cost.
He reasoned that many of the park users are Redmond residents. He also noted the city will soon have a big – and not yet known – expense for repairing Snake Hill Road, and he would rather wait to find out that cost before committing to the parking lot.
Yazici pointed out that Redmond already donated part of the land on which the park is built.
He also noted it was a slippery slope since Sammamish residents routinely use parks and other facilities in neighboring cities.
"I know our kids play on their fields," Yazici said.
The funding will pay for more than just the parking lot. There will also be a pedestrian crossing, including an island halfway across the parkway, to allow people to cross the street more safely.
City Engineer Jeff Brauns explained there will also be new electronic signs posted on the roadway on both sides of the park to keep drivers alert.
Construction on the lot should begin within the next few weeks. Philpot said the contract forbids working on the west side of the area, nearest the beach, until after Labor Day. As a result, it won't be completed until the fall or possibly in early 2015, depending on weather conditions.

I came across a number of turkeys on my way home from work on Tuesday. Fortunately, they were in a 'posing mood.'
These photos were taken just outside of Madison shortly before sundown. I'm amazed at the amount of wildlife activity you can find at this time of the year. The lack of leaves and taller grass make it much easier to get a clear view of what's out there.
Browse sandhill crane, prairie chicken, snowy owl, pelican, loon, goose, eagle, whooping crane, tundra swan, heron, turkey, cardinal, blue jay, woodpecker, hummingbird and other bird photos.

Man, Adobe and its kin are not letting up here. In addition to the company releasing a terse, carefully worded response to the Apple iPad's apparent lack of Flash, the Flash Blog took a much more truculent approach. Exhibit A: a post entitled "The iPad provides the ultimate browsing experience?" followed by several mockups of sites laden with the infamous Blue Lego Block of Ambiguity™. Adding to the conversation in the comments, Adobe employee / platform evangelist Lee Brimelow accuses Apple of not wanting the Flash player to succeed, and that the company's tried to work with Cupertino since the iPhone. " They don't want you to go to Hulu or play Flash games because they worry that you won't buy their apps," he says. Frankly, we wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, and while we understand Adobe's frustration, this probably isn't gonna help relations between the two tech firms. Hey Adobe, trust us, we feel your pain -- we really want Hulu on the iPad, too.
In other, more amusing news, it seems Apple's official iPad promo has slipped up a bit in showing off what the tablet can really do. Namely, one clip of the New York Times and an article on 31 places to go in 2010. Here it clearly shows a Flash-based module up top, inaccessible without the plugin. We're not thinking this is a sign of things to come -- if anything, it's probably just a mistake by the producers. Don't get your hopes up, folks.
Update: Clarified relation of The Flash Blog to Adobe.

Seesmic Adds Creative Commons License Support
Jon Phillips, July 16th, 2008
Super cool video conversation site Seesmic just rolled out its most requested feature today, Creative Commons licensing of course! Seesmic added all 6 primary licenses as option and CC Attribution 3.0 as default license for videos uploaded. "This means you determine how other people can use your content. Your choices are now between six combinations of Creative Commons licenses, and "All Rights Reserved," says Jeremy Vaught from Seesmic.
Joi already beat me to the punch in blogging about this and posted up a video. If you head over to my site or Joi's and you can see also the video that Loic shot with me at the CC office in San Francisco yesterday.
And, if you head over to Seesmic's main page right now, they have a community video discussion with a fair use and copyright expert (~3:30 PM PST).
Tim "ROFLcon" Hwang and I have been working with Seesmic to add this over the last few weeks and they rocked it out pretty quick! Joanne and Loic followed up with me noting where they added CC support, which is cool for others in similar position to note as well because Seesmic relies heavily at present on Flash video (like Youtube and others) and Flash-based interface elements:
- Either logged in or out you see a link where it says's Some Rights Reserved at www.seesmic.com
- When a community member goes to post a video there is a small icon that defaults to the Attribution license, but one may click, scroll down to see the other license options and learn more.
- Community members also access CC on their profile page and in the embeddable player, where the license option links out to the selected CC license deed page.
- You can read more about our announcement at http://blog.seesmic.com/.
- Also added to CC our Terms of Service (ToS) with links to CC's site where appropriate: http://www.seesmic.com/docs/TOS.html
As such, IANAL, and CC doesn't provide legal support. These are just notes on how Seesmic has integrated CC licensing.
CC integration should be rewarded with traffic, right! Head on over there and start posting videos. Oh, and if you want to know the verb form of Seesmic, its to Seesmic.
2 Responses to "Seesmic Adds Creative Commons License Support"
Thanks Jon! We have received a lot of really great feedback for going with CC. CC is clearly respected by everyone and speaking for myself, this was an important move for Seesmic.
When I saw the CC both at SXSW last year, I made sure to get some stickers, but sadly, there were none of those coolio t-shirts I saw Loic sporting in the video with you. :) Maybe next year.
Thanks again! You guys rock!

World Cup: Lessons from England defeat
Yes, no class at all. No matter whether they we denied the second goal by Lampard in the first half. they were no match to the fast and determining Germans.
And, Malaysia can go on watching the EPL. Malaysians know the English players more than our own Cabinet members. How many of you out there know who Jelaing is? How many Malaysians know who our Dewan Rakyat Speaker is?
Learn from others. British soccer is one of the most exciting but they are still not the best. While they have reached a 'saturation' point, other countries are catching up fast. Take a look at Ghana, Japan or Uruguay for instance.
Perhaps the Mexican, the Argentinian or the Brazilian soccer would be more exciting to watch from now on. And why not learn soccer from the Germans?
Malaysian soccer has been worshiping the English style for too long now. Yes, their standard of football is still far too high as compared to many other teams but if the Germans can demolish them, it shows they too got to learn something new from the Germans and others.
By the way, was it the British who teach us football?

Bolasepak di Malaysia meningkat hebat bukan di atas padang tetapi di meja meja judi, mereka sanggup membayar jutaan ringgit untuk membeli semua pemain bagi menentukan permainan.
Dalam keghairahan bolasepak, negara juga sedang diperjudikan dalam soal perjanjian kalah mati dan tempoh yang diberi 3 bulan, kalau pun bukan ugutan tapi mungkin amaran, kalaupun bukan kad merah, sudah pasti kad kuning. Dan semua itu disampaikan sendiri pengadil perlawanan. apakah kita ada pilihan???
Begitulah malangnya Malaysia kalau kepimpinan banyak sangat fail peribadi.
Terkenangkan Mahathir yang dilempar pelbagai tuduhan rasuah dan seleweng, jangankan ugutan, nyamuk pun tak berani menggigit.

elok kita belajar bolasepak daripada vietnam dan laos je. paling bagus pun daripada korea dan jepun yang layak ke piala dunia.
mutu bolasepak malaysia dah lama terbantut sebab banyak perkara, antaranya pemain yang kini memandang ganjaran dan wang ringgit.
persatuan bolasepak tempatan dan negara pulak terlalu banyak main politik. yang memimpinnya dah macam maharaja, tak boleh ditegur.

siaran tv pun bagi keutamaan kepada bolasepak england.
pemain bola pun dilattih di england.
apa nak heran.
sebab tu mutu bolasepak malaysia banyak kelemahannya.
kita ingat selama ni england tu bagus, sebab tu la kita hancus
apa salahnya kita stesen tv kita ambil liga brazil ke, argentina ke, jepun ke....
- June 28, 2010 at 6:11 PM
u know nothing about soccer, bro.
soccer is a game for fame in england. in malaysia, its a game for dropouts!
- June 28, 2010 at 6:16 PM
saya sokong kluangman. memang banyak karenah dalam urusan memartabatkan mutu bolasepak negara. yang tak patut pimpin persatuan pun nak memimpin jugak. yang tak patut jadi pemain pun dipilih jugak sebab mak bapak dia orang dalam persatuan. last2, bolasepak kita yang ke dalam gaung!
- June 28, 2010 at 6:23 PM
damn u bujai!
u dont like england, rite?
then, why did u go there last summer?
- June 28, 2010 at 6:24 PM
tak payah jadikan england contoh terbabit bolasepak pun, mutu kita memang dah teruk sejak lewat 80an bila liga semi-pro bermula.
nak jadi pro konon tapi pengurusan biolasepak kita masih berotak udang
