WALNUT CREEK, Calif. � Brett Dalton admits he was �a little frightened� when he arrived for his first day of work on the set of �Marvel�s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.� � even if his initial scene figured to be a breeze.
All he had to do was walk from one end of a room to another when director Joss Whedon signaled �action.� And Dalton did so, it seemed, without a hitch.
Then he saw Whedon rushing toward him, and he panicked.
�What the hell are you doing?� the filmmaker bellowed. �How could you mess that up?�
Dalton�s heart froze for an instant � just before he realized Whedon was messing with him.
�He could sense that I was nervous and wanted to let me know there was no need to stress out,� recalls Dalton, who is making his debut as a TV series regular. �He got me laughing and broke the tension. It was much easier after that.�
You can understand why Dalton, or anyone associated with the show, might be a little on edge. �Marvel�s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,� an ambitious offshoot of last year�s big-screen blockbuster, �The Avengers,� is the most high-profile, high-stakes endeavor of the fall season. It�s Marvel�s first live-action foray into television and signals the return of Whedon (�Buffy the Vampire Slayer�), a revered geek god, to prime time.
�There�s a lot of pressure on this show, for sure,� Dalton says during a phone conversation. �There�s a big budget and some really big expectations.�
Even so, success is by no means guaranteed. Yes, when the �S.H.I.E.L.D.� pilot episode debuted at Comic-Con this summer, it received a rapturous response from fan boys and girls, who ate up every morsel of its fast-paced action, slick production values, cool gadgets and Whedonesque wit. But the show will have to reach well beyond the core comic-book fan base to have a shot at longevity.
And there are some substantial obstacles. �S.H.I.E.L.D.� is airing on ABC, a network known more for soapy shenanigans than super heroics, and it�s in a time slot that pits it against �NCIS,� TV�s No. 1 drama. Moreover, it has the daunting challenge of trying to lure viewers to a show that is only loosely connected to �The Avengers� and doesn�t feature Thor, Iron Man or The Hulk.
Instead, the focus will be on characters who don�t possess stupendous powers - the mortals, as Whedon says, �who didn�t get the hammer or the super soldier serum.�
�The thing that appealed to me from the very beginning was the idea that everybody matters, that the people who get shunted to the side in a giant epic can take the spotlight,� Whedon told reporters at the TV critics summer media tour. �You know, the underdog, the common man.�
These underdogs in �S.H.I.E.L.D.,� which stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, are a group of quirky operatives who travel the globe in a high-tech plane as they investigate bizarre threats to humanity. The story picks up where �The Avengers� left off, after the epic Battle of New York, in which aliens raided Manhattan. Now, the public is aware that superheroes - and super villains - do exist.
Leading the covert agency is top cop Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) - yes, the same likable bureaucrat who was killed by Loki in �The Avengers.� His return from the dead will be explained as the series unfolds, but for now, Gregg is just thrilled to be part of the fun.
�I feel like they�ve put together an amazing team with a really interesting idea,� he says. �I�m completely compelled by the idea of a world post-�Avengers� where things are out of control, and humans are once again either eager to get ahold of, or are already in possession of, things we aren�t really socially evolved to the point of dealing with.�
Coulson�s agents include Grant Ward (Dalton), a �lone wolf� highly trained in combat and espionage, Skye (Chloe Bennet), a mysterious computer hacker, and Melinda May, an expert pilot and martial artist played by Ming-Na Wen, the former �E.R.� star who now gets to show off her fighting skills.
�It�s wonderful to be put to task and having to raise the bar and do the training to really be able to carry this character off,� Wen says. �I�m really enjoying it, surprisingly, because I normally hate working out. But I do like kicking a--.�
As for the Ward character, Dalton describes him as �a one-man ninja, or a Swiss Army Knife� - a guy with a vast variety of talents, but no people skills.
�Before being recruited to this agency, he was used to going it alone and being the sole solution to any problem,� Dalton explains. �He�s not used to being part of a team, so he�s struggling to adapt.�
Dalton is adapting just fine to his first major screen role. A relative newcomer to Hollywood, he received a master�s degree from the Yale School of Drama in 2011 after graduating from UC Berkeley. Other than a few TV guest stints on shows such as �Army Wives� and �Blue Bloods,� his resume was hardly eye-popping when he went in for his first �S.H.I.E.L.D.� audition.
�I initially thought there was no way in hell that I would get this role. It seemed like they saw everyone in the world,� says Dalton, who admits he was a comic-book nerd as a kid. �But Joss has a history of taking chances on someone new, and clearly, it has worked for him.�
Whedon, who co-wrote the pilot with his brother Jed and sister-in-law Maurissa Tancharoen, is on board to write and direct �The Avengers� big-screen sequel, so it isn�t clear how much involvement he will be able to have with the TV show. But he pledges that the producing team he has put in place will keep things fresh and interesting on an episode-to-episode basis.
�Every week, it�s not going to be some new hero. It can be a device. It can be a mystery,� he says. �We want to deal with every aspect - spy stuff, hero stuff, heartfelt stuff, humor. We want something that feels a bit different, so it�s not just turkey every day.�

The following is a guest post from our friends at The Beauty Department.
There are two tricks to making pretty braided hairstyles when you have short hair (and we do mean short, like chin-length or even shorter).
The first involves using a curling iron to get your pieces of hair to hug each other and stay in place. The second involves the kind of braid you use: standard, normal braids won't look quite as full as you might want them to. Curious what type of braid will?
Click through to find out—and to see the step-by-step guide to this pretty hairstyle— at Thebeautydepartment.com.

Personal preference is for Delta 400 in DDX. The dev can be hard to come by but when I needed it on a trip to Florida a quick email to Ilford produced a rapid reply with a recommended dealer.
The data sheet for Delta 400 recommends ISO 500 and 9.5 mins (which I haven't tried) when using DDX, but ISO 400 at 8 mins looks good to me.
Ricardo, I suggest you drop by Monochrom - www.monochrom.com - when you get to Berlin. They have both an exhibition, and a wonderful selection of film. My first choise for the kind of look you want woud be MACO - either UP400+ or CUBE400c. The CUBE film is one of those traffic surveillance films with extended red sensitivity. Combine it with a red filter for daylight use, and you're right up against the border of IR photography.
Ricardo, Another tip: www.fotoimpex.de I think you can even rent a darkroom there. Also Efke, Foma, Classicpan, Ilford film.
Tri X developed in Rodinal would be my first choice. It can be rated from 200 ISO to 1600 ISO to deal with the changing lighting you will experience. I would also have a supply of Ilford Delta 3200 for those situations where the light levels are really low.
That suggests an idea. Maybe I should pick up an old Voigtlaender from the flea markets?Quote:

Or a FED Leica-copy? Try EFKE 25 and 50 flims with these, they have reduced red-sensitivity. Not quite ortho, but gives very dark lips :)Quote:
Originally Posted by Ricardo41
Assuming you are shooting 35mm, I would go for Tri-x 400TX and xtol. Or even tmax 400 rated at 800 and developed in xtol.
Just as a point of interest a very good commercial photographer named Mark Tucker has posted in his website a lot of pictures from Berlin you may want to look at.

For several years, my WordPress has had intermittent problems with hanging while I am logged in - this affects loading admin screens and published parts of the blog. The request will take minutes to be acted upon, then retrieve no content - for example, an admin screen will display that says there are no posts or pages, and similarly a post or index screen will show with the themes, heading etc but no content, including the title. This does not affect when I am not logged in (for example, using a Chrome incognito window), does not affect XML-RPC requests (e.g. WordPress for Android or my custom blog posting app QTM), and it does not affect other sites I am running on the same host using Drupal. The problem strikes suddenly - after working fine - lasts about fifteen to thirty minutes and can occur at least once daily.
I am using the Weaver II theme and the following plugins are active (latest version unless otherwise stated):
- Akismet
- Breadcrumb NavXT
- Brian's Latest Comments (just deactivated this as I am using Disqus)

In the past, this problem has been solved by eliminating contact with Automattic, such as by disabling stats and Gravatar. I am using Total Choice Hosting. My blog is http://www.blogistan.co.uk/blog/ which is a single site (if you load, you won't have this problem as you are not an admin).
I have noticed that others have reported slowness when logged in, but it's not that it takes seconds rather than milliseconds to display the data, as others have reported - it's that it doesn't, at all.

ROCK HILL – The skein is still a pain.
In eight football clashes with Lancaster High School, South Pointe has posted wins in each game, including a 16-7 comeback victory at the SPHS Corral on Friday, Oct. 16.
Much like the previous meeting last season at Lancaster Memorial in a 14-7 Bruins' loss, LHS had its chances, but couldn't convert.
Ditto 2015.
The Stallions, the defending Class AAA state champions, snapped a 7-all halftime draw, taking the ball in on their opening drive of the second half to gain the lead.
The Region III-AAA champion Lancaster Bruins will compete in the Class AAA state meet at the University of South Carolina Natatorium on Saturday, Oct. 17.
Lancaster, led by co-head coaches Midenna Anderson and David Taylor, was slated to compete in the annual meet in Columbia on Saturday, Oct. 10, but the meet was moved to Oct. 17 due to the flooding in the Columbia area.
Lancaster High has a host of swimmers slated to compete in the field.
u LHS girls in state meet:
INDIAN LAND – If it seems Indian Land High School senior offensive guard Dakota Brigman embraces his role as a Warriors' offensive lineman, he does.
Brigman does enjoy his role in the trenches, but he's known that for a while.
"Growing up, there are those glamour positions in football, like quarterback, or running back or wide receiver," he said.
Don't even go there with Brigman, a 6-1, 245-pound IL line veteran.
Since his early days of organized football, he's always been on the line.
The "Rock Hill Bad Boy" Ben Watkins is set to defend his Carolina Clash points lead this weekend at the King of the Carolinas race.
The racing focus will be on Carolina Speedway in Gastonia, N.C., for two busy nights for the driver known as the "Rock Hill Bad Boy," Watkins.
On Friday night, tonight, Watkins will be in his No. 16 Sandwood Racing Limited Late Model car at Carolina.
The action has qualifying and the main event for the Limited Late Model Division.
RICHBURG – A quartet of Lancaster County football players was honored at the week seven meeting of the Tri-County Football Coaches Association meeting held Tuesday, Oct. 13 at the Front Porch Restaurant in Richburg.
The county players selected for honors included Andrew Jackson High's Heath Gandy and Dalton McKittrick along with Lancaster High School's C.D. Catoe and Caleb Funderburk.
The Lancaster Lady Bruins, 20-1, 8-0, are looking to wrap up their second straight Region III-AAA volleyball championship.
LHS, in action last week, posted two home wins, topping South Pointe and Clinton.
LHS visited Chester on Tuesday, Oct. 13 and hosts Broome to wrap up regular-season play on Thursday, Oct. 15.
Lancaster, in the win over South Pointe High School, was led by Hayden Thorne's seven kills.
Keyotta Garris and Amirah Steward each had five kills.
Buford High School has tapped into the college ranks for its new boys basketball coach.
Raheem Waller, an Atlanta native who has coached 10 years in various levels of college basketball, was introduced as the Jackets' new basketball coach Thursday, Oct. 8 in the BHS auditorium.
Week eight of the 2015 Lancaster County football season features a host of pivotal clashes Friday, Oct. 16.
Lancaster and Buford will be in quest of wins to boost their region title and playoff chances.
Andrew Jackson and Indian Land will be seeking victories to aid their postseason hopes.
Lancaster ventures to Rock Hill to battle defending Region III-AAA champion South Pointe, while Buford, in its annual homecoming game, will face Central as the Jackets seek to stay unbeaten in Region IV-AA play.
South Carolina football coach Steve Spurrier, in his coaching career, was known for his knack of the element of surprise, but his final call at USC was the stunner of his 11-season career with the Gamecocks.
Spurrier, mired in a 2-4 start and an 0-4 record in Southeastern Conference play, announced his retirement effective immediately following the Gamecocks' evening practice Monday, Oct. 12.
PROSPERITY – The month-long odyssey for the Indian Land Warriors continued on Friday night, Oct. 9 against the Mid-Carolina Rebels, and once again the Warriors had trouble getting started.
The host Rebels, led by Terrence Long, bolted to a 28-0 lead en route to 54-30 non-region win over the visiting Warriors, who dropped their third straight loss.
Long's first rush, the opening play from scrimmage, went 75 yards for a touchdown.

Wise in the ways of the world a gentleman's stickpin from 1920 has been transformed into a charming owl motif ring. Roosting upon a 10k yellow over white gold branch, the owl stares into the night with tiny garnet eyes. His 10k white gold body is studded with fourteen (14) rose cut diamonds designed to create the illusion of textured feathering. Even the yellow gold stick has been has been cleverly converted for use as the band of the ring. Who's wise?
Date: Circa 1920.

Long before Ashton met Demi or Topher got lost in Traffic, the makers of Third Rock from the Sun stepped into the Wayback Machine and emerged with That '70s Show. It would go on to become the Fox Network's most successful sitcom since Married... with Children. Set in the Wisconsin suburbs of 1976, the action centers around 17-year-old Eric Forman (Topher Grace), his friends, and his family. He's an ordinary teenager, much like the slackers of Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused, with an interest in girls, cars, beer, and rock & roll (but not necessarily in that order).
Eric's friends include hipster Hyde (Danny Masterson), exchange student Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), and dim-bulb Kelso (Ashton Kutcher). Donna (Lora Prepon), Eric's neighbor, is also a friend, but she'll soon become something more, while Kelso already has a girlfriend, the bossy Jackie (Mila Kunis)--and a crush on Eric's sister Laurie (Lisa Robin Kelly). Kelso and Jackie will spend a good part of the first year breaking up just to make up, while Hyde pines for Donna and Fez for Jackie. Eric's family also includes father Red (Kurtwood Smith) and mother Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp). Donna's includes mother Midge (former Bond girl Tanya Roberts) and perm-sporting father Bob (Don Stark).
The first season boasts a period-perfect bevy of guest stars, including Danny Bonaduce ("Eric's Burger Job"), Eve Plumb ("The Keg"), and Marion Ross as Erics grandmother ("Sunday, Bloody Sunday" and other episodes). That said, if That '70s Show were just a nostalgia trip, it wouldn't have lasted for over seven seasons. Alas, lightning wouldnt strike twice. When the same producers followed-up with That '80s Show a few years later, it would soon disappear without a trace. Accept no substitutes: That '70s Show is the real deal--a retro-comedy, like Happy Days, with heart. --Kathleen C. Fennessy --This text refers to the DVD edition.
I love that 70's show . I was glad to get it on blu-ray. I hope the other seasons come out in blu-ray also.Published 8 months ago by tina
What more can I say, plays great, sounds great, quality is clear, no complaints, I am very happy with this productPublished on Nov. 15 2013
finally we can watch the best show anytime we want..i just can't wait until the rest of the seasons come out to buy.Published on Jan. 8 2005 by Cody
I'm so happy it's finally out! the first season of the worlds best show is finally out for us to enjoy anytime.Published on Oct. 31 2004 by Fun Girl

The wrong vice presidential candidate would be anybody who is not a cultural conservative. If McCain picks a running mate who does not have a strong record of defending life and traditional marriage, McCain will lose. A socially "moderate" Republican vice presidential nominee not only would depress turnout among conservative Republicans but also curtail McCain's potential appeal among the culturally conservative swing voters Ryan explained to NPR.
The right vice presidential candidate would be somebody who not only inspires the conservative base of the GOP in a way McCain himself has not, but who also has demonstrated appeal to Northern swing voters.
In a number of venues recently, Rep. Paul Ryan himself has been floated as a potential vice presidential pick. (When I appeared on Bill Bennett's nationally syndicated radio show this week, for example, producer Seth Leibsohn, who guest-hosted part of the segment, asked what I thought of Ryan as a potential running mate for McCain.)
Ryan has much to recommend him (as do a number of other potential candidates). He is pro-life, pro-gun and pro-marriage, and has other assets to offer conservatives, too. In 10 years in the House, where he has served on the Ways and Means and Budget committees, his main focus has been on fiscal affairs. He has been an eloquent advocate for lower taxes, earning an "A" rating last year from the National Taxpayer's Union.
He is the top proponent in the House for Social Security reform based on personal retirement accounts. He co-sponsored a specific plan with Sen. John Sununu of New Hampshire that would have guaranteed current benefits, while also making Social Security solvent (according to the actuary of the Social Security Administration) and liberating future generations of working Americans from having to depend on the government for their retirement income.
Even so, Ryan's fiscal record is not perfect. He voted for President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act and Medicare prescription drug plan, which were unwarranted expansions of the federal government.
He is also only 38, which could be both a plus and a minus. He would balance the older McCain, of course -- and with 10 years service in Congress, he would enter the race with more than twice the federal legislative experience as the likely Democratic presidential nominee.

My problem is that when I goto "write" or "edit" a post or a page, it loads extremely slow and then half the time will load the first part of the edit page but not the actual form. It is very frustrating when trying to do any type of editing in the WP admin panel.
I imported a custom user database of about 20k users once everything was successfully installed. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the slow load time, just thought I would mention it.
Other than tryin to edit pages, the site loads extremely fast. I haven't had any slow database problems in the past.

Perhaps this doesn't apply to Majestic but it sure sounds similar to the Canaco story. I guess it would have to be up to the BCSC to decide.

January 2012 mary Active Directory, Administrative Rights, application control, Principle of Least Privileges, Privilege Management, Security, Security Protection (0) Wednesday January 11, 2012 2:00PM EST In this joint webinar, Viewfinity and PolicyPak will demonstrate how to best protect your endpoints with true desktop and application lockdown, and manage the lockdown environment so that user productivity is not impacted. Alex Shoykhet, VP of Product Management at Viewfinity, will demonstrate a best practice approach for using Microsoft Active Directory and Group Policy to manage administrator rights for standard users. The demo will kick off with tools for removing administrator rights and then segue into how to manage privileges for standard users with zero impact on user productivity. This is done via Viewfinity's end-to-end approach for managing admin rights such that end users don't need to involve the help desk every time a user needs admin rights. Next the PolicyPak team will demonstrate how to lock down individual applications by controlling settings within the application. PolicyPak prevents users from manipulating important settings, but also quietly reapplies misconfigured settings if a user or application happens to work around them. You'll learn how to answer questions such as "How are you able to guarantee key application and operating system settings for users?" and "How can you prevent users from messing up their apps?" and "How can we prevent application pop-ups and application questions?"

Re: FLASH series being developed for The CW
The Hollywood Reporter
is saying that
The Flash
is also still being developed for the big screen, with an eye to a 2016 release, and that Greg Berlanti is attached to direct and co-write:
For his part, Berlanti is also developing a
movie for Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, with sources telling
that the feature is being eyed for 2016. Berlanti will direct and pen the screenplay alongside Chris Brancato, Michael Green, Johns and Guggenheim. Pedowitz also noted that there is no conflict between the movie studio or DC when it comes to the TV series and feature film as previous efforts have proven troublesome when there's such an overlap.

Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
It's no secret that share price appreciation goes hand-in-hand
with earnings growth.
If only it were that simple.
Screening for companies with the strongest outlooks will only get
you so far.
You might know that Chinese search engine
Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU)
is expected to deliver +40% compounded annual earnings growth
during the next five years. But so do about 10 million other people
that are watching the stock. That optimism is already priced into
the shares, which trade for about 50 times forward earnings at this
That doesn't necessarily mean Baidu's meteoric ascent is over, but
any future gains are hardly a slam dunk. The surest path is for the
market to rethink (and revise upward) its growth assumptions, which
in this case won't be easy.
The real winners spotted the company's potential back in 2006. They
understood what surging Internet traffic, skyrocketing paid search
revenues and a highly scaleable business model could do long before
it actually played out. Then they held on tight as the shares went
from $50 to $450.
My point here is that it's far more important to focus on the means
than the end.
If the crash of 2008 taught us anything, it's that all those
numbers on a firm's balance sheet and income statement can change
with the financial weather. So I prefer to spend less time
monitoring sales and profits and more time evaluating the
underlying factors that influence them.
If for no other reason, they can give you a critical "heads-up"
that changes (either positive or negative) are right around the
A flash-in-the-pan stock rally can come from anywhere. But
virtually all long-term wealth creation stems from durable
competitive advantages. Companies like Baidu have something that
their rivals just can't emulate -- and that's why they've been so
These advantages form economic moats that help businesses defend
their territory from marauding competitors. The wider the moat, the
longer a company can hold rivals at bay and continue generating
outsized returns for shareholders. Warren Buffett won't even sniff
at a company without a moat to protect its returns on capital.
One of the most basic rules of stock analysis is that it can be
misleading to compare the profit margins of companies in different
sectors. After all, a grocer pocketing 5% of every dollar in sales
might be best-in-class, while a biotech firm with margins of 25%
could be the group's laggard.
Most experts will tell you that it's best to compare grocers to
other grocers and biotechs to other biotechs. And that may be true.
But they're missing the bigger picture. Instead, ask yourself this:
Why can some industries maintain profit margins five times greater
than others?
The answer lies in the "Five Forces" diagram below, which was
developed by Harvard Business Professor Michael Porter.
Let's briefly examine each of these forces:
We've barely scratched the surface here -- but you get the idea:
a company's profitability and stock are both governed by the
competitive framework of its industry.
All of these forces interact to determine whether a specific
industry is highly attractive to investors, or screams, "stay
We see these forces at work all the time. Sometimes suppliers must
cave to the demands of a powerful buyer like
Wal-Mart (
. Other times it's the buyers that must yield to the demands of the
seller -- like when
BHP Billiton (
dictates iron-ore prices to steelmakers.
There is a symbiosis to any business relationship. The buyer needs
the seller's wares, and the seller needs the buyer's money. But,
the balance of power always favors one party over the other. If you
can determine who has the upper-hand in these relationships, you'll
be a step ahead of the crowd.
Nathan Slaughter
Editor: Market Advisor, The ETF Authority
P.S. While the five forces above can launch a stock over the
long haul, there's only one force -- the most powerful of all --
that can send it to the moon in a matter of days. This driving
force is the reason that InterDigital (Nasdaq: IDCC) shot from
$4.50 to $82 in just six weeks... and it's the reason that 54 out
of 62 of our open Market Advisor picks are up today. What is this
"driving force" -- and how can you get on the next rocket stock
before it takes off? Answers here.

doesn't that mean that you love her?
Is it ok to fart in front of your girlfriend??
What Girls Said 6
hahahah. one of my guy friends I hadnt seen for a year started hanging out with me recently and he was farting and I just laughed and said at least I know your comfortable around me. lol. there's no shame in farting just make sure you don't fart in front of a fan and it gettin blown all up in her face HAHA
Strangest thing I've read on here possibly. Definitely wouldn't take it as an equivalent of "I love you" if a guy farts on front of me.
Although I wouldn't not love him just because of it. I guess it just shows that you're at a stage in your relationship where you don't find you need to be embarrassed in front of each other.

Why DevOps Changes Everything
Jeffery Payne, Coveros, Inc.
DevOps is more than a buzzword or a passing fad. It's a radical new approach to rapidly deliver and manage high quality software applications. However, many organizations don't fully grasp the magnitude of this change or what it means for everyone involved in the software development lifecycle. When done well, DevOps drives higher quality and efficiency into software development, software testing, and application management activities. It empowers teams to remove quality and productivity impediments throughout the entire software lifecycle. When done poorly, critical bugs are deployed directly into production and software failures increase. Today, team members are often confused about their changing role and become frustrated. Jeffery Payne discusses how DevOps changes everything and what you must implement to reap the benefits of this movement. Learn what steps to take to successfully implement a DevOps process while avoiding the pitfalls. Take home ideas for how to leverage DevOps to advance your career.
Better Thinking for Better Software: Thinking Critically about Software Development
Laurent Bossavit Laurent Bossavit, Institut Agile
To paraphrase a famous Albert Einstein quote—
We cannot solve our problems by applying the same level of thinking that we used when we created them.
Although Einstein was originally talking about war, this also is applicable to software development, where one
level of thinking
—known as software engineering—has prevailed for the past four decades. Laurent Bossavit explores why several of the key assumptions are no longer—or never were—credible. These include the cost of defects curve, the notion of 10x engineers, and the origin of software bugs. Not stopping at debunking suspect claims and sharing techniques to expose them, Laurent goes on to explain the driving motivation which helped the claims become widespread—a misguided search for universal laws of software development—and suggests an alternative approach at a different level, hinted at by lean and agile practices. In this alternative approach each of us, backed by hard data and critical thinking, puts on the scientist's lab coat in search of local truths within our development organizations.
Lean UX: Turn User Experience Design Inside Out
Jeff Patton Jeff Patton, Jeff Patton & Associates
It's usually the finer points of the user experience (UX) design that separate good-enough software from really-great software. For companies launching new products or adding new capabilities, how well they understand their users and their needs differentiates the wild successes from the dismal failures. This is user experience design, and doing it well in the past took experienced specialists and lots of time. But the world has changed. Jeff Patton describes how Lean UX turns product design into a team sport in which everyone participates. Learn how Lean UX thinking breaks what we thought were good design rules. In Lean UX design, it's OK to guess. It's OK for developers to talk to users. It's OK for bad artists to design user interfaces. And, it's OK to demonstrate half-baked ideas. You'd think that if we break all these rules, good user experience couldn't possibly result—but it does. Jeff shares examples of how all this rule breaking is supported by a culture of experimentation and learning—and that makes all the difference.
Shaping the Future of Agile Software Development
Christin Wiedemann, Professional Quality Assurance, Ltd.
Software development needs to continuously re-invent itself to take full advantage of new and evolving technology trends—and to keep up with user expectations. Are our agile approaches evolving as quickly as the new technologies, or are we being left behind as we use the same methods and techniques of a decade ago? Christin Wiedemann says that the future of agile development is ours to shape, and in shaping it we must be willing to question our habits and overturn today's conventions. We must create a collaborative environment that encourages creativity and innovation. Christin shares what she means by innovation and why the future of agile depends on innovation. She explores ideas around brainstorming and collaboration, and discusses the importance of having the creativity and courage to investigate new approaches. Christin says we must continuously challenge and question methods, techniques, and core beliefs. Discover new insights that can change how you view the future of agile.

I have been developing a Joomla module. This is my first module development.
Is it possible that I enable a module in Joomla and let there is no output in front page?
Because I don't want to display anything in a front page position, just show a popup.
my tmpl/default.php content is:
<?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); // no direct access ?>
and in module entry, I commented the line:
However, the content of a text-area parameter(backend) is shown in front page.
There was a variable named "$content" in my php code. Whatever i assign to it, displayed in front page. Now I changed the variable name from $content to something else, there is nothing diplayed in front page. This is what i was trying to do.

12-Year-Old Makes Real-Life 'Angry Birds' Game – With Pumpkins
Doesn't everyone think that life should be more like Angry Birds?
A 12-year-old from Warwickshire, England decided to do something about it.
Young Sam Beards combined his Angry Birds obsession with his father's Halloween invention – a £500 ($800) cannon that shoots pumpkins in the air – to create the ultimate real-life version of the game.
Sam, his sister Jessica and two brothers, Ben and Davy, paint the pumpkins as birds or pigs, and the compressed-air canon fires them – as far as half a kilometer (almost a third of a mile), the Metro reported.
Father Dorian Beards told the paper: "We fire it every two hours in the run up to Halloween, which all the kids seem to love."

The electricity went out five times in two days, during the evenings and early morning when it was too hot to go without a fan. Air conditioning is 50 euros a night and causes the power to go out. They asked us to leave our passports upon arrival, and when we said we'd rather wait while they took our information down they were insistent on us leaving our passports.Their bookings were handwritten in pencil.

Szczechura also played in 35 games with the Norfolk Admirals in 2009-10, recording eight goals and 29 points. He was tied for fifth on the team for assists and tied for sixth with a plus-2 rating.
A native of Brantford, Ontario, Szczechura has played in 83 career NHL games, all with Tampa Bay, recording nine goals and 16 points with 134 shots on goal.
Szczechura has played in 135 career AHL games with Norfolk and the Iowa Stars. He has amassed 40 goals and 96 points. During the 2007-08 season he led Norfolk rookies in scoring and tied for the overall team lead with 3 game-winning goals.
Originally undrafted, the Lightning signed Szczechura as a free agent on April 24, 2008.

Dollar Climbs as China Confirms Its Global Reserve Currency Status
Pound Hits 8-Month High Against Dollar on Improved Economic Data
Australian Dollar Down After Chinese Comments
The Australian dollar, often referred as the Aussie, fell for the first time in 5 days against the U.S. dollar and other currencies after Chinas comments indicating that the greenback will continue to be the main world reserve currency, damping demand for the Australian dollar high-yielding profile.
The Australian dollar had a significant rally last week pushed by a risk aversion decrease, several positive days in stock markets and a rise in commodities prices, being the latter of the most important exports for the nations economy. After 5 days climbing against the greenback, Chinas comments reaffirming the greenbacks position finally pushed the Aussie down in a rather corrective movement, since even with a bearish pattern formed by a less attractive sentiment towards the Aussie, it still managed to post just a slight fall against the North American currency, which is gaining sharply against other currencies like the euro.
Most of economists agree that there isnt a sustainable and short-term option to substitute the U.S. dollar as the main world currency, which brought traders to purchase assets in dollar, damping demand for the Aussie, nevertheless, the Aussie has been really bullish during the past week and there isnt any reason to make it fall considerably, being todays movement a rather corrective one.
AUD/USD traded at 0.8041 as of 11:20 GMT from 0.8075 when the session opened yesterday, after bottoming at 0.7985, the Aussie keeps strong and has already started a rebound pattern.

Cliff Allen | January 30, 2001 | Comments
Losing touch with a valuable business contact might mean starting from ground zero in building a relationship with a prospect or vendor. Cliff offers some strategies for keeping your network strong in volatile times.
The frantic pace of many businesses makes it hard to find the time to keep in touch with personal and business contacts. So I was pleasantly surprised the other day when I received an email from a friend I hadn't talked to in a long time.
At the same time I had a few other surprises that were not so pleasant. Email and voicemail messages I had sent to a number of contacts went unanswered longer than normal. I later learned that those people are no longer working at the companies I contacted.
Keeping the Network Strong
In these volatile times, people we've worked with as customers and vendors can suddenly disappear as companies reorganize. These experiences reminded me just how important it is to take time to stay in contact with a personal network of friends and business associates.
After my coauthors and I finished our latest book on one-to-one marketing, I decided it was time to apply some one-to-one conversation techniques to stay in touch with people. I started compiling a list of people I wanted to contact -- and the list keeps growing.
Companies have the same need to keep in touch with several groups of people. These people may work for customers, vendors, or other "stakeholders" with an interest in a company.
For instance, if you have customers who buy from you only periodically or only during certain seasons, you normally hear from these customers every few months. If they drop away, it might be a few more months before they are missed.
In many cases, you probably deal with one key person who knows how to use your service or is familiar with when to order from you. If that one person leaves the company, you are likely to be left out in the cold when that person's replacement is brought in. This happens because the new person is not familiar with how and when his or her predecessor used your product or service.
Lost Prospects
Prospects can present the same challenge, especially in the business-to-business world in which the sales cycle can be rather long. Long sales times occur when prospects need to research competitors, choose a solution, and obtain management approval for the purchase. This process can take several months. If your key contact leaves or is transferred, it is likely that you'll need to start building the relationship over.
A good way to overcome these problems is to proactively stay in contact with people before they make a change. In some cases you might even be able to meet their successors early on. In other cases you can help the new person become acquainted with the procedures that have been used to purchase from you.
Salespeople frequently use contact management software such as GoldMine. to update contact and profile data after each contact. This helps the salesperson build a relationship because past data is instantly available during a subsequent call.
Salespeople also use contact management software to send broadcast emails and faxes to their contacts. This works well to update a few people about what their salesperson wants them to know. However, this technique may not present a consistent marketing message to customers and prospects.
Using an Email Newsletter
Other tools and techniques are more effective in communicating a company's message to groups with different interests and needs.
An email newsletter service that provides personalization, such as the one from ListHost.net, can deliver tailored messages throughout a sales cycle. Services such as this make it easy to ask the audience questions about their preferences, interests, and needs.
This type of interactivity not only provides profile data for tailoring content, it can also track which people are actually reading the newsletter.
In addition, using a centralized contact database with decentralized updating via the Web allows field salespeople to help manage profile data. This makes it easier for busy salespeople to maintain contact with prospects and customers while the marketing department develops appropriate and consistent content.
Whatever technique you use to maintain profile data, it's important to remember that people change -- and move -- so frequent updates are essential. This means making frequent contact to maintain long-lasting relationships.

I first browsed through the site getting a understanding of the organization of the site. It has so much information but it is all easy to get to and you can even search for topics you are looking for. I than narrowed my search to educational materials. The content of this link was very interesting. They had games, audio, visuals, puzzles and more. The content was presented in a way where I could either play or I could look up serious topics through other links, but either way I was learning something. I really liked how diverse this website was, you can find so much information it applies to a vast amount of students ranging from elementary to college levels. This website was very easy to use and for first time users it will be very fun and informative.

text: After I watched A Serbian Film, I had to drink a very large glass of whiskey and watch The Muppets. Since then, I've watched several films that were supposed to be some of the most disturbing films ever made, including both Human Centipede films, Salo, and The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane. I've found none to be at all disturbing. A Serbian Film broke my fragile little mind.

The Pope is Leader of the Catholic Church and Bishop of Rome. That in turn makes him Leader of the Worldwide Catholic Church.
Pope Benedict XV1 assumed his "Papal" duties on the 19th April 2005, also referred to as the "Papacy."
The Ecclesiastical jurisdiction is known as the "Holy See or the "Apostolic See."
The chief duty of any Pope historically of course was to spread Christianity and the role in the 21 Century is one primarily focused on "Religious Affairs."
Child Abuse Scandal that has cracked at the "Rock" of the Catholic Church
"Critics of the Papal Visit although their case by no means insignificant, should look at the wider significance a "Papa" visit can achieve. The Pope had shown genuine remorse and he has an individual greatness, that will take him beyond the church, in terms of credibility. The Times 13092010.
Some of the Pope's Work
The Papal praised Martin Luther on his reforms
Paid tribute to Galileo once condemned for heresy
Called for better relations with the Muslim Community
Peter Tatchell
Well known Gay Activist presents a programme tonight on Channel 4, 8pm, entitled "The Trouble With The Pope." Peter expresses surprise to be asked to present such a programme but the following is an overview of his findings;
That as a commoner "Joseph Ratzinger" was an inspiring and popular man. Noted for Liberalizing the 2nd Vatican Council and was involved in student protests in the late 1960's
Mr Tatchell says on the programme that he approached mainly "Catholics" not atheists because he wanted to give the programme a fair balance. He talks of disquiet amongst his own in the Pope's hometown of Germany.
Dismay at the unwillingness to allow Channel 4 to speak to either the Papal or one of his cardinals and it was reported that the Church would not co-operate with Peter Tatchell. Finally he conveys that they were able to talk to a "Catholic Pressure Group" a "Fiona O Reilly"
Mr Tatchelll wanted to put aside his "Gay Rights Issues" which are well documented, but his concerns with "The Pope's" opposition to Contraception. to embroynic Stem Cell research.
Other issues are:Equality, Same sex couples not being permitted to adopt, women priests, Safe Sex education and the use of condoms to prevent HIV & Aids.
Public Opinion according to the media appears to suggest that the Pope's views are upsetting his own flock and the Tatchell film would appear to suggest that this is the case.
Peter Tatchell finally concluded that his presentation was not "Anti Catholic and he cited several people who have helped him with his "Human Rights Campaigning, 2 those included anti war campaigned "Father Daniel, Philip, Berrigan.
Whilst Pope Benedict does not have the popular appeal of his predecessor, he does have deeply held values and his knowledge base is not in question. The Pope's visit can turn even a sceptical public into something of memorable significance and be of benefit to the wider world. An Example of this:
The Pope's beautification of "Cardinal John Henry Newman" this Sunday 19th September 2010.
Newman in "An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent," wrote: You cannot base "Guide for life on probabilities and inferences. Life is for action, to act you must assume and that assumption is faith.
So the Pope based on that piece has assumed the faith and stands by his beliefs and is prepared to act on them.

Image via Wikipedia
The question people ask is, should he not be prepared to question more, or risk alienating more in Society who would have endorsed and worshiped his faith.
My story should reflect that the Pope has visited the United Kingdom, but that my article serves as a Profile of the Leader Of the Catholic Church.

Beijing Transport
The subway is a great way to get around in Beijing. Though it can be very crowded at peak commuter hours, the service is comprehensive and efficient. Line 1 and Line 5 can be used to access many tourist attractions. The subway shuts down at midnight and starts again at 5am. Be aware that travellers carrying luggage will need to go through x-rays. Prepaid cards (Yîkâtông) can be bought that allow travel on subways and buses. This prepaid fare is the same for the subway, but reduced for buses. The Beijing bus system is comprehensive, but confusing for foreigners as most of the signs are in Chinese. Most buses operate from 5am to 11pm.
There are many taxis available, both official and unofficial. They charge a base fee of around RMB 10, and there is a fuel surcharge of CNY 1 on each trip. Tourists will generally pay more than locals, but travellers who feel cheated should ask for a receipt to make a complaint with. All official taxis have license plates that begin with the letter B. It is a good idea to have the destination written in Chinese to show the driver, as most do not speak English.
Driving in Beijing is a complicated and sometimes frightening process, with few English signs and non-stop traffic jams in the city. Visitors are not permitted to drive in Beijing without a Chinese driver's license, which can be acquired at the airport or transportation police stations.
Cycling is a good alternative, with numerous bicycle rentals around the city and well-defined bike lanes, bike parks, and the company of millions of other cyclists, especially at rush hour. It may seem intimidating, but cycling can be the best way to get around for the more adventurous traveller. For the Olympics in 2008, 50,000 brand new bicycles were made available and can now be rented at outlets close to subway stations, commercial districts, Olympic venues, hotels, and office buildings.

Re: How do I get the sound on my iPad? in response to Heather1963
If you have sound when you play songs in the Music App or when viewing videos in Safari, you have system sounds muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
IF ... You have no sound at all, check the volume button on the side of the iPad and adjust it up. If you still have no sound, reboot your iPad and see if that helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.If that doesn't help, you may have a bigger issue, but see if any if those things work for you.
