A Big Year for New York Member Jason DaSilva
News Source : A Big Year for New York Member Jason DaSilva
In the wake of his first feature film, New York member Jason DaSilva, 35, has been lauded with superlatives and praise by some of the country's most heralded voices. Among many favorable reviews for his documentary When I Walk, The New York Times applauded his "uncompromising intelligence" and the Hollywood Reporter cheered his "strength and reliance."
His movie about his life with MS has won numerous awards at film festivals across the continent, including the Grand Jury Prize at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Vancouver International Film Festival. It was even selected to kickoff PBS' POV series of documentaries, making its national television debut on June 23.
"It's definitely been a one-up on everything I've done before," he says.
Yet, perhaps the most meaningful feedback has come from the steady flow of emails and Facebook comments thanking DaSilva for telling his story so candidly. It's been an enlightening experience for DaSilva.
"I didn't realize that making yourself vulnerable and putting yourself out there would really help other people confront what they were going through," he says. "Just by emails that I get, people really feel good about it because they can tell their own stories. Hearing my story makes it more possible for others to tell theirs."
DaSilva encourages the people who contact him to find outlets for their emotions. "The real thing people can do is be advocates for people with disabilities," he says.
DaSilva is not just providing lip service to that idea — he has a long resume as an advocate. He took part in United Spinal's first-ever Roll on Capitol Hill in 2011 and attended again this year. He filmed an op-ed for the New York Times in January 2013 highlighting the woeful state of public transit in New York City, and he has long-championed AXS Map, a crowd-sourced tool he designed for sharing reviews on the wheelchair accessibility of businesses and places.
"It's keeping me ludicrously busy," he says with a laugh.
Being that busy would be hard for anyone, but DaSilva's MS only adds to the challenge. He says he manages thanks to a horde of interns and a solid support group. He also thanked PBS for being very supportive and going above and beyond what was required. Managing all of his projects has shown him many ways he can be more efficient in future endeavors.
Asked what those future endeavors may be, the normally effusive DaSilva grows discreet. "I'm not going to talk about it yet," he teases. "There's something in the pipeline, but I can't say just yet."
When I Walk is available for free online viewing through PBS until July 23 at www.pbs.org/pov/wheniwalk. To get involved with, or learn more about AXS Map, visit www.axsmap.com.

Upon the executive recruitment of new employees, former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch laid down some ground rules for proper recruitment analysis of job applicants.
In his book, Winning, Welch discusses in detail the importance of recruiting the right employees and how he gave his head of human resources immense power, responsibility as well as autonomy. Welch was intelligent enough to know that staffing and recruitment was too important to leave on the back-burner.
Therefore, in his book, he lays down a system for any manager or entrepreneur looking for executive recruitment and staffing advice when it comes to hiring the right employees. Welch also maintains that if you get the hiring right over 50% of the time, consider yourself talented at executive search consulting and recruitment services.
Therefore, in his book, he lays down a system for any manager or entrepreneur looking for executive recruitment and staffing advice when it comes to hiring the right employees. Welch also maintains that if you get the hiring right over 50% of the time, consider yourself talented at executive search consulting and recruiter services.
4-E (Welch looks for the 4-E's when hiring, then finally passion).
1. Positive energy – does the person go, go and go some more. Do they thrive on action and relish change? Do they start the day with enthusiasm and usually end it that way.
2. Ability to energize others – positive energy is the ability to get other people revved up. People who energize can inspire their team to take on the impossible – and enjoy the hell out of doing it. Doing so takes a strong knowledge about your business and strong persuasion skills.
3. Edge – the ability to make yes or no decisions.
4. Execute – the ability to get the job done.
Passion – people who are passionate about work also tend to be passionate about other things in their life.
Hiring for the Top
Authenticity – self-confidence and conviction should be rampant in the ideal job candidate looking to be recruited. These traits make a leader bold and decisive, which is absolutely critical in times when you must act quickly. Must be comfortable in their own skin.
Ability to see around corners – the best leaders have to have a vision and the ability to predict the future, but good leaders must have a special capacity to anticipate the radically unexpected.
Surrounding oneself with better people than they are – a good leader can put together teams that make him or her the dumbest in the room. They are not insecure about having highly intelligent and sometimes more competent employees working for them.
Heavy-duty resilience – every leader makes mistakes, every leader stumbles and falls. The question is whether they can regroup and then get going again with renewed speed, conviction and confidence. Welch liked leaders who had the wind knocked out of them, but proved that they could run even harder in the next race.
The former CEO of the giant organization knew that business, in order to succeed was not as easy as some think and hard times befall on everyone.

One hundred years ago, it all began on Dec. 12, 1913. The Northampton County Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) was founded by Mrs. Mary Macon Aylett Fitzhugh.
Adopting the motto of the NSDAR, "God, Home and Country," the Chapter began with 15 charter members, all descendants of Revolutionary War soldiers. Two of the charter members were direct descendants of two signers of the Declaration of Independence: Dr. Benjamin Rush and Francis Hopkinson.
Mrs. Fitzhugh was born at "Sylvan Scene" near Johnsontown in Northampton County, Va., on ...

Your baby needs lots of sleep, but she won't stay asleep for more than three hours or four hours at a time in her first few months. She needs to wake frequently so that she can refill her tummy, so be prepared for some interrupted nights.
But be reassured that once your baby is about three months old, you can start to follow a set pattern every night. By six months she may even sleep through the night, allowing you to get more sleep again.
Your baby will quickly come to appreciate the consistency and predictability of a routine. Your baby's routine could include a bath, a change into night clothes, a favourite story and a cuddle. Knowing what's coming every night will help your baby to learn sleep habits that will stand you both in good stead for the future.
Discover how to establish good sleep habits for your baby.

The interrelationship of the ontologies. The interrelationship of the ontologies is based on the notion of the state of an entity, characterized by the four properties: amount, location, dynamics, and physical. This division into four properties is found in three subtrees of the two ontologies: the property and process subtrees of the entity type ontology and the change subtree of the relationship ontology.

Atria- Licensing for IBM Rational ClearCase
Saurabh.Tyagi 270005CY2K Visits (3441)
Atria Licensing:
IBM Rational ClearCase is a software configuration management solution that provides version control, workspace management, parallel development support, and build auditing. You can integrate Rational ClearCase with other IBM solutions, including IBM Rational Team Concert, IBM Rational ClearQuest, IBM Rational Asset Manager, and IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software.
Rational ClearCase Atria licenses uses a proprietary floating license scheme. To use ClearCase, you must obtain a license, which grants the privilege to use ClearCase on any host served by the same license server. The license server component is installed with a Rational ClearCase server installation; it cannot be installed separately or as a license server only. The full installation of ClearCase is required in order to serve out ClearCase licenses, and there is no separate license server program.
To request new or additional ClearCase (or ClearCase MultiSite) licenses, go to Rational Support Licensing, and then select the Rational License Key Center. If you obtain additional licenses, review this Technote for specifics related to modifications made to the ClearCase license server. The considerations for moving ClearCase licenses to a new server are outlined in Technote

Common features used in the flexlm licensing options file
Robert_Stephen 270005GQ3U Visits (7878)
It's always good to have options!
Let's discuss the options a license administrator has to use for a license. The options file is a plain text file that allows a floating license administrator to control user access to specific features or versions of licensed software. Users are identified by their username, hostname, IP address, or project.
For concurrent (floating) licenses, the license administrator can:
This looks good but your next question will likely be: "How can I create an options file?"
For example: VENDOR /etc/test [opt
Let's create an options file assuming Peter, Matt, and Steve are all part of a team named 'Licensing' in an organization. We can create a group named 'Licensing' and have these users added into the group. The syntax would be: GROUP Licensing Peter Matt and Steve
Subsequently this group can be included to allow access to IBM Rational product license. Hence the final syntax in the Options file would appear as follows:
GROUP Licensing Peter Matt and Steve
INCLUDE RPE_PUBLISH GROUP Licensing ( considering the .opt file is for RPE )
If the system usernames in your organization have a space OR comma in them, then the names need to be enclosed within double quotes.
Example: Let's assume the usernames are <USER A>, <USER B> and <USER C>. Then the Options. opt file would have: INCLUDE RPE_PUBLISH USER "USER A" "USER B" "USER C" Alternatively, you can utilize the same concept of adding all the users into a GROUP and then specifying the name of the GROUP in the INCLUDE line of the options file.
Also, if you have only one USER_BASED license for IBM RPE in your license file, you would be able to specify only one user's name in the Options file. Once the Options. opt file has been updated as per the format of the system usernames, please save the same while making sure that the file is saved as "Options. opt" and doesn't have a .txt extension.
Open the License.dat and add the complete path of the newly created Options. opt file at the DAEMON line. The DAEMON line should be the next line (one soon after the) SERVER line in the license.dat file. If you don't have a word DAEMON instead have Vendor, please perform the following changes in the License.dat file.
SERVER LicenseServerName 12AcDe 19353
DAEMON telelogic "C:\Program File
After performing the above changes, save the License.dat file while making sure it's saved with only (.dat) extension.
Launch LMTOOLS and click on "Start/Stop/ReRead" tab. Stop the server, restart it, and wait until it says "Server Started successfully".
After the server has started successfully, please click on "ReRead License File" and wait until it displays: "ReRead license file completed". Once the message is displayed, click on "Server Status" and click on "Perform Status enquiry" and check if there is any error with the RPE_PUBLISH license. Ideally there shouldn't be any.
Any changes that are made to the Options file gets read either by doing a re-read or stopping and starting of the license server. The ability for vendor daemon to participate in rereading of its option file is introduced in the version 8.0 vendor daemon. If the License server is stopped and started the license file and option file are automatically read.
Now before proceeding we need to understand the most commonly used syntax of the options file:
Now we know how to create an options file lets use the options file to reserve or deny licenses. IBM Rational provides the least restrictive licensing environment possible. By default, the server does not restrict access to a client requesting a license key. This configuration works best for most customers. For a more controlled license environment, use the options file to reserve or deny licenses for certain users, hosts, displays, groups, or IP addresses. You can also limit the number of licenses each user or group can access.
The options file is a case-sensitive text file that sets the options for the license server. The options file can be used with the different types of floating licenses keys: temporary, evaluation, or permanent licenses keys. Your options file is located in the rational_dir\common directory and might have the name ibmratl.opt. If you do not have an options file, you can create one.
Example :
Options file that reserves licenses:
You have 10 floating licenses for IBM Rational ClearQuest®. You want to ensure that users Greg and Michelle always have a license of ClearQuest available for their use. Configure the options file as follows:
RESERVE 1 ClearQuest USER greg
RESERVE 1 ClearQuest USER michelle
Options file that excludes users from accessing a license:
You have 10 floating licenses for IBM Rational ClearQuest. You want to ensure that user Sally does not have access to a ClearQuest license. Configure the options file as follows:
EXCLUDE ClearQuest USER sally
How to configure USER_BASED license:

Deploying Rational License servers in mixed protocol environments ( Ipv4 / Ipv6 )
@Sharma~Pankaj 270001DHR3 Visits (2851)
For a Rational License server ( version v 8.1.2 or above ) to work properly using IPv6 addresses, all systems in an enterprise (including the network hardware and software) must be configured properly to support communication using IPv6 addresses.
Before testing or deploying a Rational Common Licensing-supported or -based application that supports IPv6 or IPv4/IPv6 dual communication, make sure that all systems on the network can communicate successfully. If the license server will run under any of the following operating systems, it can communicate with clients using either IPv4 or IPv6 (as long as the network is configured properly).
Because these operating systems support dual-layer communication, both IPv4 and IPv6 enabled clients can communicate with an IPv6 license server. Moreover, IPv6 clients can communicate with an IPv4 license server using the IPv4 address, as seen below:
In the case of a license server hosted on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating systems, there are certain drawbacks because of limited dual-layer support on these operating systems.

Firearm security rules, ban on some bullets at issue
SAN FRANCISCO A federal judge has rejected an effort by the National Rifle Association to block enforcement of local gun laws in San Francisco.
U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg ruled Monday that the laws don't appear to violate standards set by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 2008 ruling that declared a constitutional right to possess firearms at home for self-defense, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The NRA sought an injunction on behalf of gun owners.
A 2007 ordinance requires San Francisco handgun owners to keep weapons locked up or use trigger locks when stored at home.
A 1994 law bans bullets that can expand or splinter on contact, causing more damage to a human body than conventional bullets. Seeborg said the restriction does not prohibit San Franciscans from possessing guns at home or using them for self-defense, the rights specified by the Supreme Court.
The judge also said constitutional standards on gun rights are in flux. He added higher courts may issue new criteria for evaluating state and local regulations before the case is concluded.
San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said he agreed with the judge's decision.
"This is a thoughtful and persuasive ruling that affirms our position that San Francisco's gun laws protect public safety in a manner that's reasonable and constitutional," Herrera said in a written statement. "I'm proud of the efforts we've made to beat back these legal challenges, and preserve local laws that can save lives."
C.D. Michel, a lawyer for the gun owners, told the newspaper the ruling would be appealed to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which is preparing to hear separate challenges next week to California's licensing requirements for carrying handguns in public.
Michel said San Francisco's gun-storage ordinance "requires you to sleep with your gun in a holster if you want to have it ready for self-defense in the middle of the night. We respectfully disagree that it's a minimal burden."

While the biggest, most opinion-dividing war in history is still undoubtedly the rebellion of Lucifer, the Flame War between Xbox, PlayStation and Wii is considered a close second. It began with the forging of the great consoles, each different, separate, coveted by their masters. The keepers of the consoles bestowed great compliments on their game-playing devices, and fiercely defended them from the judgement of other, less sentient human life forms.
To the owner, each console was a box of unimaginable wonders, a gift from the Heavens in the comfort of their living room. A magical, precious thing that granted wishes, and fulfilled their utmost desires. The consoles had to be protected, especially by the heretics, the foolish ones that claimed false superiority with their own consoles.
The gamers grew mistrustful, hating the blasphemous game-playing devices of their fellow men. They built armies of like-minded believers, the Xbox, the PlayStation, the Wii, factions separated by their conflicting faiths. Each army strengthened by a bond of power, an unbreakable will, a thirst for justice, to be recognised as Kings among mere men.
But they were all of them deceived.
The conflict had began, of course, with the age old power of "us and them", casual racism, instilled in the gamers by the console companies, in a bid to create loyalty out of fear. The proud gamers themselves, were slaves to the will of the consoles they loved so much.
And yet the war raged on, and it was bloody. For the gamers were too deep into their own delusions, too scared to admit that actually, it probably didn't matter which console you chose, because in the end it's just a device for playing games on. And when anyone did choose to reject their allegiance to any particular console, the companies wrath was unimaginable; they released exclusive titles, so that inevitably, some people would miss out on a game they'd been looking forward to.
This spiteful act ensured that gamers stayed loyal to their consoles, and even fuelled the fires of hatred. For the followers of Xbox would claim that Uncharted was just an overhyped rip-off, the followers of PlayStation would laugh at Halo, call it boring and geeky, while the followers of Wii would hold high their banner of Mario, and dare anyone to question their power. This console loyalty was exaggerated to the extent that each gamer believed that their console was perfect, untouchable, all-powerful. It was inconceivable that perhaps each console had both good and bad qualities, far easier to believe that one console was better in every way than the others.
This loyalty to a machine prevented the gamers from interacting in peace, for even in neutral lands, on forums and social networking sites, there would always be a crusader, ready to denounce the heretics.
The console wars lasted for many, many years, and even now, when the bloodshed is but a distant memory, some believers remain. They have hidden themselves well, but they are simply biding their time, waiting for their chance. All it takes is a catalyst, perhaps someone will announce that they are excited about the new Gears of War game, or Ratchet & Clank, or Zelda... Then the crusader will strike.
But together, I know that we can prevent another war, if we learn to accept our differences; can we not be at peace? I believe there is still hope, there is always hope.
So join me, and reject the blind allegiance to your game-playing device. Accept that it is just a machine, and that other consoles probably do have games you'd like to play, and isn't it a bitch you can't? Who's really at fault here? That's right, the very things we have sworn to protect. But never mind, because when all is said and done, they are just machines, and if you're going to get aggressive over a games console, well, you're probably an arsehole.
Thank you for your time
Peace x

Oracle-Google Patent Trial Is at Least 4 Months Away, Judge Says
Oracle Corp.'s patent lawsuit against Google Inc. over Android software may start as early as April or as late as September, a federal judge said.
"I am reserving my right to put the trial on in April or May, but as a practical matter mid-September may be the first time we will be able to try the case," U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco told lawyers today during a hearing. He also told the attorneys to keep October and November open to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Oracle is seeking at least $1 billion in damages from the operator of the world's largest search engine. Oracle, based in Redwood City, California, accuses Google of infringing its Java patents and copyrights in the Android operating system, now running on more than 150 million mobile devices.
Google, based in Mountain View, California, has denied the claims.
"I can't see this case going to trial before the first day of spring," Alsup said in court today after the lawyers updated him on the status of pre-trial evidence gathering and other matters.
The case is Oracle America Inc. v. Google Inc., 10-03561, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).

Karl Jansen, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo district. "A lot of that attention goes to the Atlantic coast, but it impacted the great lakes, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie to a degree as well."

Activists are trying to get the word out that this wage theft is happening here in central New York. Rebecca Fuentes is an organizer with the Workers' Center of Central New York.

'Gallons of gravy' for Rescue Mission's Thanksgiving dinner By Ellen Abbott • Nov 25, 2015 Rescue Mission Alliance Syracuse's Rescue Mission is getting ready for Thanksgiving. Alan Thornton, with the Rescue Mission, said you need a lot of food when you're making meals for about 2,000 people.

Alcoa announces 3 1/2 year grace period for Massena plant By David Sommerstein • Nov 25, 2015 Brit Hanson / NCPR There was a deep sigh of relief in Massena Tuesday, if only a temporary one.

Protesters try to focus on solutions to Syracuse poverty By Ellen Abbott • Nov 25, 2015 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News Some Syracuse residents are trying to focus the spotlight on poverty in the city. More than a dozen members of some Syracuse churches marched through downtown during a busy midday, calling for more action to prevent poverty in the Salt City. Organizer Raymond Blackwell says there are three things that need to happen for Syracuse to lose the distinction of having the highest rate of concentrated poverty among minorities. "One, is job training and job placement. Two, is fair housing policies, and three, is fully fund the public schools," said Blackwell.

Google helps small central NY businesses take advantage of Internet By Ellen Abbott • Nov 23, 2015 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News Google's program "Let's Put Our Cities on the Map" came to Syracuse last week.

But the phone recordings paint a revealing picture about how Albany really works behind the scenes.

Spat over computer use at Syracuse City Hall continues By Ellen Abbott • Nov 19, 2015 Ellen Abbott / WRVO News A dispute over internet use at Syracuse City Hall is again headed to the courts. The issue over whether lawmakers should sign a city computer use policy hasn't been able to be resolved through negotiations. Councilor Kathleen Joy expects the Syracuse Common Council to file court papers in the next few days asking a judge to settle the issue of whether lawmakers should be forced to sign that computer use policy which is required of and agreed to by all city employees. A majority of councilors believe it would allow the Mayor's office too much access to Council business.

Despite trials, little talk of reform in Albany By Karen DeWitt • Nov 19, 2015 governorandrewcuomo / via Flickr The New York State Legislature is seemingly back to business as usual, with majority parties holding planning meetings and the new session set to begin right after the holidays.

InterFaith Works prepared to welcome Syrian refugees By Tom Magnarelli • Nov 19, 2015 Tom Magnarelli / WRVO News An organization that helps resettle refugees in central New York is celebrating the one year anniversary of its headquarters in Syracuse. The agency said it is fully committed to helping refugees from Syria if any are relocated to the area. InterFaith Works unveiled a new sign outside the building they own, which is a big deal considering they have been renting different spaces since 1976 to provide refugees with the living, employment training and medical services that they offer. Entergy: Talks over between company and state officials; FitzPatrick to close by early 2017 By WRVO News • Nov 18, 2015 Entergy Entergy informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Wednesday that it will "permanently cease power operations" at the James A.

The difference between a vegetable and a fruit is that vegetables are the edible portions of a plant, such as the leaves, stem, roots, tubers, bulbs and flowers, while a fruit is the mature ovary of a plant. Many plants that are considered fruits are botanically vegetables.Know More
Some plants commonly known as vegetables, such as tomatoes, squash, pepper and eggplant, are botanically fruits. Fruits don't have to be sweet. Fruits provide protection for seeds in many plants and aid in the distribution of seeds.
In nature, plants produce fruit only after fertilization. However, widely cultivated plants produce fruit without fertilization through a process called parthenocarpy.Learn more about Fruits & Veggies

Vitale spoke from heart at Hall of Fame induction
Originally Published: September 5, 2008By Andy Katz | ESPN.com
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Throughout Friday, Dick Vitale was nervous and anxious about the most difficult speech of his life.
ESPN communications personnel were told Vitale had only five to eight minutes to speak at the Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremonies.
But there was no way he could be expected to hold to that number. Good thing for Vitale, the other six members of the Class of 2008 -- Pat Riley, Adrian Dantley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, William Davidson ...

I hope I have become wiser as I have aged. For I have surely aged! I work in Human Resources & Training at the bank, and we had a great managers round table discussion the other day, and I had possibly the best question that has ever come up in one of our sessions. A young, very new manager asked: If you knew then, what you know now (about managing people), what would you do differently?
And every manager in the room had an answer. This was a great reflective question. We had engaging and wise comments shared, and so, I am going to turn this question inward, twist it a little, and share: If I knew then, what I know now, about preparing for my financial future, what would I do differently?
Yes, I was a not-so-smart-but -thought-I-was-da-bomb-college-graduate-newlywed-burgeoning-career person, way back when, and as I am now aiming for some financial goals so I can live comfortably in a few years, heres how I answered my own question:
If I knew then, what I know now, I would do these things differently, to plan for a more secure financial future:
Hindsight is 20/20. So, hopefully Ive learned. If nothing else, maybe my shoulda coulda wouldhaves will help someone else make better decisions.

If it bleeds it leads! That supposedly is an old adage of the news reporting profession. I dont know if hard-nosed newspaper editors ever did actually say that to fledgling reporters any place other than in a film noir movie script but it does symbolize a true human tendency. We pay attention to negatives.
Why we do it, I dont know. Disasters and crime, personal scandals of celebrities, politicians and the powerful are hot topics. Weather reporters breathlessly (and endlessly during my favorite TV programs) train their radar on every wind that shows the slightest circular motion during every thunderstorm that blows through regardless of how mild. And we watch.
Its the same with financial news. You still occasionally see an investment person on television today bragging about how they predicated the stock market crash of 1987! Cable TV hosts, authors of magazine articles and investment newsletter writers thrive on highlighting negatives because it gets your attention and helps them sell the commercials, ads and newsletter subscriptions from which they make their living.
Today we hear about the fiscal cliff approaching with the New Year, the sovereign debt crises in Europe, the declining U.S. dollar, geo-political upheavals abounding, the greater regulatory burden being put on business, and the ups and downs of the stock markets which appear to be of greater magnitude than before. This gloomy haze of negative news and focus on the short term makes it easy to lose sight of the long range reasons to be invested in the stock market.
Most of the financial news media is geared towards short term trading otherwise, why would you need to watch every day? If you own a local dry cleaning business or florist shop you dont pay much attention to how much you could sell your business for on any given day. Your focus is on taking care of your customers so you can increase sales and profits and continue to pay yourself an income that rises over the years. If you do that, the market price of the business will also increase over time.
For most people, investing in stocks should be the same. Stocks represent businesses that you own a piece of. Selection of good businesses that take care of their customers and have rising sales, profits, and dividends (income to the owners) should be the primary concerns. Day-to-day or quarter-to-quarter fluctuations are generally insignificant in the long run. This doesnt mean you dont keep an eye on value or change investments from time to time just try to focus more on your long term objectives.
There are many, many companies in the U.S. and elsewhere that have survived depressions, recessions, world wars, socialist governments, and other adversities while paying a cash dividend every year for 50, 60, or 100 years or more. They followed the short term ups and downs of the market but generally are worth much more today.
A business-owner approach to investing with a long term focus may make you lose interest in most of the financial news. Maybe thats a good way to go ahead live a better life.

Mentor and Encourager
Like the Biblical Barnabas, Louise Altick was an
encourager of others. She could say just the thing
that you most needed to hear in times of crisis. Her
comments were always honest and heartfelt. She did
not patronize others, nor did she in any way keep
you from knowing when she was not pleased with
your actions. Still, she was always there for her family
and friends, ready with a word of encouragement
when it mattered most.
For women in my generation, Louise was a trea-
sured mentor.While she could hardly be classified as
a "women's libber" there can be no doubt that she
was a pacesetter for other women. She was not one
of those "crash through the glass ceiling" women,
but she definitely, and adeptly, showed us all how to
carefully set the glass aside and move forward in our
careers while carefully balancing the demands of our
A college graduate and accomplished profes-
sional, Louise always wanted other women to excel
in their own right. Her own daughters reflect that
drive, as do her granddaughters. Louise was a born
competitor, a fierce sportswoman, and a tenacious
opponent. Her father, according to Louise, instilled
in her the belief that women should be able to take
care of themselves.
"My father insisted that I go to LSU and get a de-
gree in something that would empower me to take
care of myself, if necessary," she recalled in 2010."He
understood that the old adage of going to college 'to
catch a man' was short-sighted and not very smart.
I always remembered that, and I've been grateful to
him for his wisdom," she said.
Louise's Cheese Straw "Ministry"
Louise loved her parties! She had that very spe-
cial talent of making everyone present at one of her
parties feel as though each were the guest of honor.
Her culinary skills were well-known, but it was her
sense of fun and her ability to put everyone at ease
that set her apart.
Louise is well-known in our community for many
things, but some would say that nothing tops her
cheese-straw "ministry." In some ways (think: tomato
aspic), homemade cheese straws (always better
homemade, you know!) have gone by the wayside as
the ladies who knew how to make them best lost
their ability for one reason or another to do so.
Louise kept track of those lady friends who could no
longer make their own, and periodically would make
huge batches of the treat and deliver them.
A small gesture? Perhaps to some, but not to
those ladies who looked forward to these tangible
evidences of a kind and caring heart.
Throughout the years, many of us have found
ourselves volunteering a little more often, taking on
larger challenges, daring to dream of --- and then
find --- a path to better days, and cherishing our
families a little more because we were privileged to
know Louise Altick. We --- her family, her friends,
her church, and her community --- shall miss her
warm smile, her delightful laughter, her incredible
courage, and her indomitable "can do" spirit.

perature, all that we expect - to which many a girl's
sushi night out can attest.
But other than that, what do we really know
about Sake?
Sake, as generally defined, is an alcoholic bever-
age of Japanese origin that is made from fermented
rice. The word for Sake in Japan is nihonshu, or
"wine of Japan." Sake is
often referred to as rice
wine, however, unlike
wine, in which alcohol is
produced by fermenting
sugar that is naturally
present in grapes or oth-
er fruits, Sake is produced
by means of a brewing
process - more like that
of beer. To make beer or
Sake, the sugar needed
to produce alcohol must
first be converted from
Although Sake is
brewed only from rice, it
offers a wide variety of
tastes like that of wine
or beer. There are nearly
2000 Sake breweries
throughout Japan, each
using different Sake-brew-
ing rice, Koji mold (yeast),
and water (either spring
water or filtered water) and each with their own
unique brewing method.
Before the brewing process begins the rice
must be polished or milled down. The rice polish-
ing ratio is the percentage of the rice that remains
after the husk (outer portion) of the brown rice
(all rice is brown prior to removal of the husk) is
polished off. The husk and the outer portion of the
kernel contain more protein and fats than the inner
portion of the grain. These two components can
produce undesirable aromas and negative flavors in
the sake. The Sake with the more highly polished
rice is cleaner and more refined, nevertheless, re-
gardless of how much the best rice is polished the
process is useless if it's not done correctly.
There are five crucial elements involved in
brewing Sake – water, rice, technical skill, yeast and
land/weather. The rice is first washed and steam-
cooked and then mixed with yeast and koji (rice
cultivated with a mold enzyme). The mix then
ferments, with more rice, koji and water added in
three batches over four days. The fermentation
occurs in a large tank called a shikomi. The mash is
allowed to sit from 18 to 32 days, after which it is
pressed, filtered and blended.
So now we have a very basic description of
what Sake is, but what exactly do you need to know
when ordering at our favorite sushi place or perus-
ing the wine aisle? Sake is divided into four major
categories: Daiginjo, Ginjo, Junmai, and Honjozo.
Daiginjo is prized as the top of Japanese Sake;
it is very light, fragrant and fruity. It is brewed with
rice in which each grain has been polished away
50-65%. Horin by Gekkeikan ($12.99 -300ml) is
a ultra-premium Sake, best
enjoyed chilled, offering a mild
fruity aroma with delicate
notes of over-ripe cantaloupe,
honeydew melon and honey-
suckle. Round and smooth
on the palate, with a medium,
creamy body, finishing long and
smooth with a hint of pear.
Ginjo is brewed with
rice in which each grain has
been polished away by 40-50%,
like Daiginjo, the flavor is light,
fragrant and complex.
Junmai is brewed only
with rice, filtered water,
and Koji mold; in general
it is full-bodied and slightly
acidic, pairing well with a wide
variety of food. Black and
Gold by Gekkeikan ($13.99
- 750ml) is a Junmai offering
hints of honeydew, papaya, an-
ise and roasted nuts. It is well
balanced and has a long and
smooth finish, it is best enjoyed chilled or at room
Honjozo is brewed with rice, filtered water, Koji
mold and yeast. The grain of the rice is polished by
more than 30%, and a small amount of alcohol is
added in the final fermentation process. Honjozo
is dry and smooth, usually lighter and more fragrant
than Junmai.
The traditional Japanese toast is "Kampai!"
(pronounced like "Com Pie") meaning dry the glass
or empty the glass, and is the Japanese equivalent of
So now, raise your Sake of choice and let's
toast! Kampai!

BEWARE OF ADS AND/OR LETTERS OFFERING QUICK RETURNS FOR CASHING A CHECKGfK and its GfK Mystery Shopping division will rarely, if ever, conduct mystery shops involving check cashing or money transfers. We never ask shoppers, consumers or survey respondents to send us money. A new twist on this scam is shoppers are being contacted by GfK "HR Representatives" via email and provided with a GfK Agreement and Q&A Document. Once the documents are signed the first check cashing or money transfer assignment is provided.
GfK will rarely, if ever, reach out to consumers via unsolicited email in order to engage them as service providers for our clients. We have been made aware of a scam where consumers are contacted via a false GfK email address and asked to become Service Evaluators for GfK. The email asks consumers to respond with their personal information.
For both of the scams noted above, and in general, an additional warning sign that the ad, email or letter may be the work of a scam artist is the inclusion of incorrect or false company contact information, including our name, address, phone number or other details. Please note: representatives of GfK only send emails from @gfk.com or other trusted partner domains. Emails from ISPs such as gmail, hotmail, outlook, yahoo should be questioned.
If you have received an ad, email or letter and you are unsure whether the correspondence is actually from GfK, DO NOT attempt to cash any included check or respond to the email or letter with the requested information. Instead, call 212-240-5402 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com immediately.
GfK is working with the MSPA (Mystery Shopper Providers Association) as well as the appropriate local, state and Federal authorities to crack down on all individuals involved in perpetrating these schemes.

Manufacturer: Dixieland Gaited Saddles (View all products by Dixieland Gaited Saddles)
Model: Butterfly Plantation (View all Butterfly Plantation reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I purchased this saddle directly from Cynthia at Dixieland and paid $1069
Likes: Where do I begin. The quality is outstanding, leather is great quality and looks even better than I had hoped. I had shopped for many saddles and the quality of this saddle is better than most of the saddles that cost twice as much.
Dislikes: Nothing
Quality: The tooling and stitching are all perfect. The leather is super soft and has a wonderful deep color. The trooper fenders are the best fender style I have ever tried and I never want a saddle with any other type of fender. Ordering and fitting my horse was so easy with Cynthia and my saddle moves better than ever before.
Summary: I would definitely recommend these saddles and working with Cynthia to find the saddle of your dreams.

Version 9.0 has been uploaded! It can be found at the Downloads page of this mod. It's still a WIP, so expect some issues.
A quick post on several bits of news concerning Fallout 3 Reborn, including MOTY, reviews, V8 DLC mods/patches, V9, and more.
Posted by Slayer_2 on Nov 25th, 2010
Mod of The Year
If you enjoyed Fallout 3 Reborn (any version), please nominate this mod for MoTY. Every vote counts, and making it to even 100th place would be amazing. Thank you.
There is a review feature on the mod page, I'd ask that if you have a minute or so to spare, it'd be nice if you left a review about the mod. You can also agree/disagree with reviews. Review Page.
V8 DLC and Patches
You might be wondering where the mods for the DLC's are, and the 8.2 patch I've been planning on releasing. My computer died about a month ago, and I lost Fallout 3 (but thankfully not my mod files!), and I need to buy a new copy. It'll be at least a few more days before I can get my hands of a copy, and at least a week or two before I can release anything solid, hard to say though, without playing the mod.
I'm also working two jobs, and money is still tight. I get payed in two weeks, though, so if need be, I'll wait till then to get Fo3 (depending on the price). Hopefully I can find a copy under 20 bucks.
Version 9
voted! You are my hero Slayer =)
Hah, thanks man :)
This doesn't mean that New Vegas: Reborn is dead though, right? Because when they release a few DLCs it will be much better. I've actually found evidence of DLCs already as I traveled the Wasteland. Areas around the borders of the map where it says there is a map marker for a tunnel, but when you get there the tunnel is blocked by a landslide. I honestly hope they make a DLC involving Area 51, since they are in Nevada and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to believe that Area 51 would have been built to survive nuclear holocaust. Maybe there are even some people still alive there. Enclave stronghold anyone?
It's not dead, per say, just slowed down a lot. I really can't play NV for more than a few minutes at a time, it's ok for testing, but doesn't help motivation. On the other hand, I just finished playing Fo3 for an hour straight, and only found two tiny little bugs with V8.2.
As for modding the NV DLC... I dunno, I likely won't be buying them...
true, there is also the BoS bunker south of forlorn hope... and also the remnants bunker, and a few others besides.
as for FNV: reborn, V1 is already out with a update attached... we are planning at least a few more versions, it will be a while before we have any information for V2 though. in the mean time just chill with the knowledge that reborn goodness is coming your way.

I'm glad they've brought charges against her. That poor child is going to have some serious issues to deal with.
On the other hand, maybe he was the spawn of Satan and they were only reacting to his evil nature.

The child who was bitten was the ONLY conservative in the crowd. He told the other ones that if they wanted to eat they would have to ask the nanny for a bottle and they got angry with him for not DOING IT FOR THEM so they ate him...

Can't help you with Euromaster, sorry... But, I do have several "original" Westons - I use Weston V on a daily basis.
They're not particularly suited for low light situations (no battery). I think the lowest you can reliably go is about EV 4.
Otherwise, nothing but praise! Once you learn how to use them and where to point, they are very reliable.
However, if you shoot LF, perhaps something with spot metering (for zone system readings) would be more appropriate - and at about the same price of a new Euromaster.
If you want to try out the Westons, a Weston V can be had reasonably on xBay... Make sure the seller guarantees that it works as it should (accurate readings, etc.) - they can be had for $20-$40, AFAIK.

Lawsuit Updates
Updated May 6, 2015
On April 20, 2015, the litigants against the Library filed a Motion for Discretionary Review with the Kentucky Supreme Court. In the next steps, the Library will file a reply to this Motion and then the Kentucky Supreme Court will decide whether or not to reconsider the Court of Appeals' March 2015 decision in favor of the Library. The Court of Appeals unanimously ruled the Library acted in good faith according to the correct statute in determining its annual tax rates.
After the March decision, Cathy Howard, president of the board of trustees of the Campbell County Public Library, said in a statement:
"We are thrilled the Appeals Court firmly and unanimously ruled in our favor. The Court set a strong precedent with this ruling. We are happy to move forward from this litigation and focus on serving the public. The Court's decision confirms that this library and other libraries across the Commonwealth have been acting in good faith, following the direction the legislators intended. We have always been open and accountable to the taxpayers, providing the best library services possible for the people of Campbell County."
Read the court's decision {PDF}
A lawsuit was filed in January 2012 in Campbell County Circuit Court by attorney Brandon Voelker on behalf of Charlie Coleman, John P. Roth, Jr., and Erik Hermes. The plaintiffs held that public libraries should be following Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 173.790 while the Libraries had been following KRS 132 in setting their annual tax rates.
On April 1, 2013, Campbell Circuit Court Judge Julie Reinhart Ward ruled that KRS 173.790 should govern the Library's tax rate. The Library filed an appeal to that ruling with the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
On March 19, 2015, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the library in a unanimous, 3-0, decision. The Court determined it was the legislative intent for libraries to follow KRS 132 stating, "the General Assembly clearly intended that its provisions would apply to all existing taxing districts."
In addition the court said, "For over thirty years, without protest or challenge, the library districts created by petition have acted in good faith and conducted their affairs in accordance with the directions of the Executive Branch."
Tax Rates for Campbell County Public Library
- The current tax rate is 7.7 cents per $100, or $77 on a $100,000 property. An average homeowner in Campbell County has a $150,000 property and pays about $116 per year in library taxes.
- The library's board of trustees adopts tax rates in the summer and will abide by the Court's decision when considering any changes.
- The library budget for FY 2014-2015 includes $2.85 million for personnel and benefits, $1,098,000 for operating costs, $147,000 in capital expenses, and $710,000 for the circulating collection.

Explore the origins and evolution of ISIL
'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary
29 Jun 2013 14:42 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, Latin America, Brazil, China
During the financial crisis the world looked to China to stabilise the global economy, and with a massive $586bn stimulus programme, it did just that.
Much of the money went to local authorities for infrastructure programmes, but another subsequently large amount went to the banks leading to a credit explosion.
It therefore came as a shock to the banking system, markets and investors alike, when China appeared to be facing the same fate that befell Lehman Brothers in the US.
The credit markets almost froze as the People's Bank of China set out to very publically tame the banking sector in order to avoid its own North-Atlantic style financial crisis. Particularly in the firing line were the 'shadow banks' - leasing firms, pawn brokers and underground banks - which according to JP Morgan Chase, lent $5.8tn [about 70 percent of the country's GDP] between 2010 and 2012.
Its so-called investment trusts have $1.4tn under management. It also has $3.4tn in foreign reserves, but the money can not be used to fix banking problems as it would involve selling foreign currencies and buying up its own currency, the yuan. This poses a problem for exports.
The People's Bank of China is determined to promote less speculation in property and stocks, and the new Chinese leadership is in search of quality of growth and not quantity.
There is a possibility that China will miss its growth target for the first time since the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s.
For some explanation and analysis Marshall Mays, the director at Emerging Alpha Advisors in Hong Kong tells Counting the Cost where the problems stem.
"This is what I call an experiement. It's also part of the new administration trying to exert its influence, its reform ideas and its plans for the future. One of the problems is there's been an excess amount of unregulated financing vehicles in the market in the last four or five years, which have caused a little bit of a havoc. Traditionally the system works from the banking system being this major supplier of funds, but that's only now half the major supply and much of that money flows through the banking system and it's still not easy to control. There's a second problem related to this which is a lot of corruption ... and the goverment has been trying to squeeze both of them out of the system," explains Mays.
Beijing also has the desire to use the yuan in global trade and finance - to challenge the dominance of the dollar and the euro. It is not willing to let the currency free-float at present, but has been signing up countries to use the yuan for trade.
Stephen Cole sat down with HSBC's Middle East chief economist, Simon Williams, to discuss the rising use of the yuan in global trade.
"I think it's a long term story. The growth of the Chinese economy is hardly a new trend .... When you have that shift in the structure of the global economy, it's inevitable that the structure of the world's currency will change with it and that the reminbi [the yuan] will become part of that global currency mix," says Williams.
Brazil's misused windfall
Brazil is a nation that became synonymous with the rise of the southern hemisphere. But has it misused that windfall of the last decade? Any man or woman on the street who is protesting would probably answer with a definitive 'yes'.
The current lack of infrastructure is leading to huge frustrations.
The transporation system is not integrated due to a lack of urban planning and record car sales in recent years.
"Mass transport is not a priority. Statistics say only 25 percent of the people in Rio use public transportation, the rest is buses and cars. So we have a system that is congested, does not integrate, and does not allow fast travel, that's why the passengers have to pay high costs in travelling," says Orlando Santos, a specialist for urban planning at Rio de Janeiro Federal University.

The division and unification of Germany is captured in two events that shook the world: the erection of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961 and its fall on 9 November 1989, the images of which were seen around the world. Today's relics serve as visual reminders of nearly three decades of division. These include the East German border watchtower on Potsdamer Platz, which is the last of its kind still standing. The tower, restored as part of a private initiative, tells the story of a nation and its people and is a firm favourite with visitors.

I have made som photos. Distance about 23 m from the ruler. Lenses in the following order: Tamron 90 mm, DT 16-105 at about 90 mm, 70-300G at about 90 mm. f 5.6 for all. At 23 m I cover 6 m on the long side (90/24*2300=6000). Is it good enough? OK, the weather was not the best. Used tripod but forgot to set SteadyShot to off. Also both Tamron and 16-105 are used with polarizer. Exported from Lightroom with 2000 pixel at long side, 300 dpi. Jpeg.

finally i can start linux on my slim ps3!
Keep up the good work!
You guys think too small.... what we need is kinect + xbmc running on PS3 linux = Ultimate Media Centre.
PS. Love this guy's attitude towards hacking... a rare trait indeed.
Sorry N3XuS but i don't really agree with you at least for now...i think its more important to write the linux drivers needed for running Linux with the full access to the PS3 Hardware. The RSX driver is still a big problem and also the driver to access the HD.
After you have Linux running with full compatibility then you will be able to have your ultimate media center.
LoL I think that's pretty much apparent... But it shouldn't stop us from dreaming up endless possibilities, others are getting excited by finally having the chance of running XBMC, (although this is awesome enough in itself), but imagine the fun we'll have when the open source kinect drivers get ported over to linux.

Good job playa! Would love to replace ps3 media server for mkvs.
Just wait for 3.55 i can update my 3.15 with Yellow dog.
And why not Amiga OS 4.1, multiboot CFW OtherOS OFW
Why stop there?? I would love to be able to mount my disk on my NAS and stop soiling my PS3`s HD with files I already have elsewhere!!!
Keep up the good work!!
A hell lot of smiley face Deserved smiley face Great work again Graf Chokolo.
I've been holding onto my Old Xbox1 for YEARS because of its awesome Media Center... it seems like the Xbox1 is really the ultimate media center... of course, I do have a 160GB hard drive in it instead of the original 8GB... it plays everything I throw at it music/movie wise with the exception of MKV (which it at least PLAYS, but the audio/video is way out of sync)... so if that is ported to the PS3 but with MKV playback, then I will finally have a good enough reason to sell my Xbox1.
Can someone please explain to me what will linux do to the ps3? How can it improve ps3's features.. etc. Also, could i be able to change the graphics card, memory, cpu.. put something "stonger" and install drivers for linux??
