You could also take a modern lens and reverse one of the elements. The 180mm from a Mamiya TLR (I know, that's MF, not LF), if the rear element is reversed, is sharp at the center, with increasing blur towards the edges. It improves when stopped down, but is always softer along the outside. The only downside to this particular model is that it's miserable at infinity when rearranged this way.
For large format, if you were to get a copy-camera lens (cheap enough to experiment with), and rearrange it, you'd have the advantage of modern shutter and variable formula.
On the Other Other Hand, check out the book "Primitive Photography", which discusses how to make your own 19th century designs with cheap lenses and PVC pipe.

James is making everything look easy. He scored 32 points, Dwyane Wade had 30 and the Miami Heat beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 107-97, on Sunday for their fifth straight win.
It was James's fifth straight game with at least 30 points, a franchise record. James, who was 12 of 18 from the field, also joined Adrian Dantley (1979) and Moses Malone (1982) as the only N.B.A. players to score at least 30 and shoot at least 60 percent in five straight outings, the team said. "Don't take it for granted," Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra said. "He's making greatness look easy."
Kobe Bryant had 28 points and 9 assists for the Lakers, who also got 18 points from Earl Clark. The Lakers had eight turnovers in the fourth quarter; Miami had none. "Turnovers," Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni said. "You have to give them credit. They're good." Miami moved two and an half games ahead of the Knicks in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks lost to the Los Angeles Clippers earlier Sunday. Dwight Howard and Steve Nash each scored 15 points for the Lakers.
"They have a couple of sensational players over there that made some big plays," Bryant said. Wade also hit 12 of 18 shots for Miami, which made 55 percent as a team and held a 38-29 edge in rebounding. Wade had 5 straight points for Miami, the last of them coming with 7 minutes 15 seconds left when his 3-point play put the Heat ahead, 89-82 - at that point their biggest lead.
A minute later, Wade started what might have been Miami's signature sequence. He stepped in front of a pass by Bryant under the basket, then flipped it to Chris Bosh before falling out of bounds. Bosh got the ball to Cole, who beat Nash down the court, then lobbed a pass over his head to James, who soared for a slam that gave the Heat a seven point lead once again. "You could feel the buzz in the arena today," James said. "We were just happy that we were able to play our game, weather some of their storms that they had and come
out with a win." With 3:25 left, James turned in another highlight. He stole a pass, drove down court and past Nash, who found himself in the lane against a fast-charging James plenty of times Sunday.
It was almost as if Nash was not even in James's field of vision. James leapt for a dunk, giving him 30 points and the franchise record, and Miami's lead was 9. Bryant scored on the next Lakers possession, but Shane Battier hit a three pointer with 2:42 left to put Miami ahead, 100-90, for the first double-digit lead by either team. That was the last gasp for the Lakers, who finished their trip at 4-3. "We had our chances, but we weren't good enough tonight," Nash said. "We had too many breakdowns and we had opportunities to stretch the lead at times in the game, and we couldn't do that either, so probably in the end, we didn't deserve it." The teams finished the first half tied at 53-53, and neither team allowed the other much in the way of breathing room in the third quarter until the final seconds. That is when James started flexing some muscle. James scored Miami's last 11 points of the third quarter, all in the final 4:20, and four of those came in the last six seconds. He was fouled by Clark and made the first free throw.
Then the second attempt was tipped back out by Battier to James, who was just beyond the three point line. He connected from there, and the Heat took a 78-73 lead into the fourth.
It took a few more minutes, but James and Wade helped Miami put it away. "D-Wade came and he just started cooking in the fourth quarter," Bryant said. "He started doing what D-Wade does and made sensational play after sensational play." Rapper Lil Wayne, a semi-regular at Heat games, was there for the first half, then posted on Twitter that he was ejected for rooting for the Lakers. Security personnel were seen talking to him at halftime, and a Heat spokesman said was not ejected, leaving on his own. (New York Times)

5800 XpressMusic is stealing the lion's share of the spotlight today, but the first S60 5th Edition handset out there actually isn't the first to get hooked up with Nokia's all-you-can-eat Comes With Music service. That honor will instead go to the lowly 5310 XpressMusic candybar, which will get access to about 2 million track downloads when it hits Carphone Warehouse in the UK in prepaid form for £130 (about $228) on October 16, a day earlier than rumored. Other models will have to wait, though Comes With Music versions of the N95 8GB and 5800 are both planned.

Wonderland Books and Games offers new experience
Walking into a local bookstore and experiencing the crack of a new spine isn't something most UTM students can say they've been able to experience, at least, not without driving for an hour at minimum.
Wonderland Books and Games, an independent bookstore, opened on Aug. 1 and is hoping to offer the Martin community a new experience.
"We are the anti-Barnes and Noble. If you go to a Barnes and Noble, it is a big impersonal bookstore with a Starbucks inside it; here you've got an independent coffee shop with a small and personal bookstore inside it, a reverse Barnes and Noble," said Jeff Stumpo, bookstore owner and UTM English professor.
The personal feel of the store is one that Stumpo prides himself on. As long as his distributor can get the book, Stumpo has no problem placing custom orders for his customers. As another bonus to the new store, UTM students and faculty will receive a 10 percent discount on all books and games.
Working in a bookstore has always been in Stumpo's plans, he just hadn't planned on it being so soon.
"I wanted to retire someday and do one of two things, either work in a museum or a bookstore," Stumpo said.
Though he currently isn't planning his retirement, his dream of working in a bookstore has just begun. Stumpo opened Wonderland inside The Looking Glass, which is a specialty coffee shop in downtown Martin. Both stores are located at 215 S. Lindell Street.
"The books are important, but it's not just the books; you have to be able to provide an experience," Stumpo said.
The combination of Wonderland and The Looking Glass offers an experience that cannot be found in Martin right now. Coffee, books and games in one location brings something unique to UTM students and the community alike.
"Every college town deserves an independent book store," Stumpo said.
Wonderland provides the community with a variety of genres including, but not limited to Young Adult, History, Philosophy, Religion, Children's Books, Science Fiction and of course, the Classics. Stumpo also plans on selling several local authors' works in the store as well.
"I'd like [opening Wonderland] to make Looking Glass even more of a community anchor than it already is," Stumpo said.
The store is hoping to host several events such as poetry readings and game nights. Although the poetry readings are still in the early planning stages, the first game night will be held Aug. 6 at 7 p.m.
"I'm trying to reach out to different poets I know around the country to set up live Skype readings; it's hard to bring people to the area, but [through Skype] I can still offer the experience [of a live reading,]" Stumpo said.
In selling games, Stumpo wants to introduce ones that aren't necessarily in the mainstream. He says there are many games out there that aren't Monopoly but are just as easy to play.
"There are a lot of gamers in the area and the store will make it much easier for them to get supplies and games," Andrew Cochran, an Electrical Engineering student, said.
Stumpo handpicked the variety of advanced board and card games that he offers in Wonderland.
Even since its opening just a few days ago, Wonderland has become a hit among students, recent grads and community members.
"I like Wonderland because it is inside The Looking Glass, which I already love and I don't have to drive an hour to get to a bookstore," Misty Dunlap, a recent UTM graduate said.
To experience the magic of Wonderland Books and Games, visit the store Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m.- 6 p.m., Friday 7:30 a.m.-9 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

My surgeon discovered a small umbilical hernia while I was receiving other cosmetic surgery. She decided to do the hernia repair, and I told her I disliked the naval piercing scar above my navel. She decided to do an elliptical excision of the scar tissue. This is the results. I am only 3 weeks post op, but the scar looks worse than what I had before thus far. There is bulging around the sutures and excess skin at the ends that appear folded over. Is this going to flatten out and heal normally??

•The administration has put Ekiti in bondage over N25b bond
Charles Adegbite,
Former Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Femi Bamisile, is not happy with the N25 billion bond taken from the Capital Market by Governor Kayode Fayemi's dministration, saying it has become the financial habit of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to put the state it rules in the bondage of debt without having a clear-cut plans of how to pay. In this interview, he laments that the governor is taxing the people more and wasting the bond on road rehabilitation, which now puts the state in dilemma of how to pay. Excerpts:
What do you think are the effects of the recent governorship election in Ondo State on your party?
Well, we clearly saw that the Labour Party won the governorship election in Ondo State. And without being partisan, I want to clearly say that it was a deserved victory for Olusegun Mimiko. After he was sworn-in as governor in his first term, he hit the ground running. I mean he took virtually every basic electorate along. He took along everybody within the state irrespective of party divide and started working for the interest of the state. And based on the fact that I see him again as a person who knew when he wanted. I will give you a very good example. Look at the health programme… this Abiye "Mother and Child Care" and the way he has been running this programme. In fact, he celebrated the third year anniversary recently, which shows that he knew what he wanted to do when he said he wanted to become the governor and he went for it. So he has hit the ground running.
So for him, the victory of Labour Party is a well-deserved on. And as far as I'm a not a Labour person, I'm a core PDP man and PDP chieftain for that matter, I will want to say that if you look at the way our party performed in the last Ondo gubernatorial election, you will discovered that our party performed tremendously well too. Without being immodest, it clearly shows that, as the result was presented, shows the strength of each party in the state; that is the Labour Party, the PDP and the ACN.
Looking at your state, Ekiti, how do you assess the performance of your government and the possible effects of such performance on 2014 governorship election?
Talking about Ekiti State, I will like to talk about our brother, Governor Kayode Fayemi. I cannot really point out a particular programme he has started. The man has just celebrated two years last month. And I cannot point out a progrmme that he started from the beginning and he has been able to complete by now. Obviously, he has commissioned many projects, projects that were started in the time of Governor Segun Oni. Unfortunate, most have been completed by the former governor. Some of the projects were almost about 80 per cent or 90 per cent completed. And most of these projects are now being commissioned by Fayemi. I want to sincerely give it to him anyway. I'm giving it to him because most governors in the past would just abandon those projects and say they are not his own projects. That is the reason I said I'm giving it to him; at least, for completing those projects and not allow them to become abandoned projects. Government is a continuum as we all know.
However, at least someone who says he wants to become governor of a state must have his own basic programmes. Let me tell you clearly. Aside that, I want to say that the days of ACN in the South West, I think, are over, looking at what happened in Ondo State. At least, looking at this you will know that the days of ACN are over in the South West. With Ekiti State as a case study and what will happen in the next election, I want to sincerely tell you that our people have spoken. You may say is it too early to say that, considering the fact that election is till far? When I say our people have spoken, I'm talking on the context of a people who are homogenous, who speak with one voice. When you hear what our people are saying on the streets, you will realize that they are yearning for a change.
But a lot of internal crisis within the PDP do not show you are prepared enough to tackle ACN in South West?
I really want to appreciate that question because a lot of people have asked me times without number that "How prepared are PDP in Ekiti because Ekiti is prepared for a change?" But I want to clearly tell you that our party, the PDP, under the present executive, is prepared to send the ACN parking, considering the fact that our party is the opposition. You see, the internal rancour that you are seeing in the PDP is not a strange thing. It is a norm in every political party. And a party that is as large as PDP; as we keep saying that the PDP is the biggest party in Africa, you will expect all these things to happen, especially as people are jostling for positions and their future.
I want to, at this junction, tell you that what happened when the ACN was wrestling with the PDP for power during the PDP regime is completely different from what is happening now. As we grow and advance as a people, we change our methodology, our style, skill and ways of doing things. And if you are expecting that it is the same manner with which the ACN took over power from the PDP through the judiciary is how we are going to approach issue, you will be missing it.
For us as a party, we have adopted a very subtle and better strategy now. A lot of you might consider it a "sit-down-look" method, but it is not. One thing I want you to understand is that we can never join issues with the ACN. We are more in close contact with our people in Ekiti State because these are the people who will effect the change we are talking about. We believe strictly in election, which is the basic process that is well known to the constitution.
If that is going to be what we are going to do then we should be more focused at the people, the electorate in Ekiti State who are going to effect the change that we are talking about· It is left to the ACN as a party and those in government now to prove their worth to the whole of Ekiti people. And that is exactly what we expecting them to do. That is exactly what I have been trying to explain to you at the beginning. That there is a different between governance and the way this people are handling their own. To me as a person I will not want you to bother yourself about the rancours within the PDP. Those rancours with time will face out.
How would the EXCO at the state level handle the zoning palaver, which is already becoming a serious issue among those clamouring for it within the party?
Well, let me take the issue from the way it was handled in our nation. There was a time when people from the South South before now kept agitating that they should be allowed to have a taste of governance at the presidential level. Today, the issue has been addressed, at least to some extent. People of the south in Ekiti State have clearly said it. I'm from the south of Ekiti. Today, I'm a member of the state EXCO of the party. But as this question is being directed to me, I don't want to be selfish about it, so I want to be as objective as I can be. It is clearly stated by the people of the south at every forum; the Southern Forum meeting, the youth meeting, everybody is agitating that the Ekiti South should be given an opportunity to govern this state. It is clear from the history that the Ekiti Central has had two opportunities. The north has had two opportunities. They are presently having second opportunity. My people are now saying that it is time for south to be given governorship opportunity. We the people in the party believe in that too. But it becomes difficult within the party to just take a decision and say it is Ekiti south's turn because it is not a game for the south alone. You know when it comes to general election, the people from Ekiti north will participate, the central and south will all participate. It is clear that when it comes to matter of election, one third of a state cannot sit down to determine who will be the next governor. It has to be a collective decision. Because of this, I want to advise my people from the south that there are so many ways to kill a rat. We can adopt all these ways by continuing to prepare themselves, agitating from various manners at different fora. But as a party stalwart, like I said, it will be difficult for me to solely.
How will you describe the two years of Governor Fayemi?
I think I spoke about this earlier, but let me be more specific now. Two years of Governor Fayemi has been a show for nothing. I want to again reiterate that the gentleman has been able to complete a part of governance, which is continuity. In other words, irrespective of any government in power, the good projects embarked upon by previous administration must be continued. And he has been able to successfully do that. Aside that, to me as a person, I've not seen anything he has done to affect the lives of people to fulfill any of the electoral promises he made to the people during his electioneering campaign; even when he did not win the election that he was taking to court. There were basic electoral campaign promises that he made. I have not seen any of that, two years after being government, now third year is on. As an Ekiti man I'm not yet impressed.
What of all the roads here and there?
My dear brothers, these are basic things; all these he is doing are just resurfacing. I'm surprised that he could claim to have spent the same amount of money he should have spent on new roads on just resurfacing of old roads. These are township roads. Of course, some of them are dilapidated, which needed rehabilitation, but they are not roads that should gulp up to the amount he has spent on them.
In the 2003 elections, PDP won in all the states in the South West, with the exception of Lagos. In 2007 PDP still won in all the states, with the exception of Lagos. Those we lost to ACN in 2010, I mean Ekiti and Osun, are mere judicial victory. If you look at the 2011 elections as well, you will realize that where we lost, that is Ogun and Oyo, it is because of the fact that there were unresolved crisis between our political leaders there. Take Ladoja for instance who went to join the Accord Party. It was not because PDP was not on ground or that we were not in close contact with the people, but because our votes were divided among our leaders who went to other parties. You remember what happened in Ogun as well, which led to the formation of People's Party of Nigeria there by the PDP governorship aspirant in the then Governor Gbenga Daniel faction of the party? You know, as it is often said, a house that is divided against itself cannot stand. So, those are some of the challenges we faced then.
If you look at the financial status of the state don't you think this may as well be affecting the performance of the governor?
This is the reason they don't have to be wasteful when it comes to awarding contracts. They went to take a bond of N25 billion and put Ekiti in bondage of debt. Now, there is no clear-cut way by which the debt would be paid. No governor in Ekiti has ever gone to take bond since the state was created, except the AD (Alliance for Democracy) during Governor Niyi Adebayo's administration. When Governor Fayose of the PDP came, he paid the N5 billion debts within a period of two years. He never attempted to go for bond. Neither did any other governor got bond since then until when the ACN, which metamorphosed from the AD came under Fayemi and went for N25 billion. I could remember vividly that when Segun Oni wanted to get N5 billion bond, I was the Speaker of the House of Assembly then, and we refused to give him a go-ahead when we could not see reasons why the state should go for bond. We said we will not be part of the people who will commit the future of yet unborn Ekiti indigenes into debt. I don't understand why the current members of the State House of Assembly who are supposed to be representatives of the people and play the role of check and balance should allow Fayemi to take N25 billion loan for construction of roads. They said it is to allow investors to come to Ekiti.
Look! We had many investors in the past. The Ikogosi tourist centre they are making noise about now. The Iree Block Industry is not a new innovation. Oni started it. All these projects were started when Engr. Segun Oni was governor. He even brought investors for this alternative to petrol called biofuel. There is this basic problem that I have seen here several times. I, as a person, spent most of my adolescent life in the USA. When budgets were being brought to the Assembly we challenged them. We told the governor we are tired of this idea of bringing budget to the Assembly on yearly basis whereby the same roads are being put in a budget every year for the same amount of money. What happened to these roads? Are the roads being taken away after a year? No!
That is why somebody like me, I've been living in Lagos now and the toll gate at Lekki Peninsular area, many have gone as far as faulting it, but I see it as a way of generating funds that will increase the IGR (Internally Generated Revenue). We can say the amount of money the state government is getting from people is exorbitant, but it is for them to determine that. But I can assure you that the same roads that have been tarred now, wait for another one and a half year, you will see that they will present budget on same roads. That is why, for me, I don't believe in this idea of getting bond to tar roads in the name of wooing investors to this state. Fayose constructed many roads without taking bonds. Oni also constructed roads without taking bond. We are worried about all these because the lives of Ekiti people are tied to this bond now.
I am surprised that the Commissioner for Information, Funminiyi Afuye, who was a member of the House of Assembly during my time, could be among those championing going to the capital market to raise money for projects that would not bring any financial return to the state. The people of the state are now asking them what they are using statutory allocations and IGR for.
What baffles me most is the presence of Afuye, the Commissioner for Information in the executive arm government today. He was the leader of the minority, who opposed approving the N5 billion bond, Oni intended to get then when I was the Speaker of the House of Assembly. For him now to be among those who championed the idea of going to the capital market to raise N25 billion bond for projects that would not bring any financial return to the state, shows that the ACN is a party of hypocrites, who will tell you that something is bad, don't do it and very soon, you will see them doing same thing they condemned. The people of the state are now asking them what they are using statutory allocations and IGR for.
What of the new Government House they are trying to build, of what relevant is that in boosting the economy of Ekiti State and what benefits will that bring to common man who is suffering? Is that how Fayemi is going to eradicate poverty among the poor in Ekiti State?
There is this controversy trailing your academic qualification over whether you attended the Obafemi Awolowo University. What is your response to this?
I've said it before but let me say it again that all the accusation the mischievous opponents were carrying about was all fallacy. There is no iota of truth in it. They started with "he said he graduated from the University of Ife (Obafemi Awolowo University), I told everybody that cares to listen that I gained admission to study Political Science in 1983/84 and I left the university in 1986 when my father died. I said this clearly to everybody. I went to Channels TV to say this to the whole world because there is nothing to hide.
They were trying to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it. And when they discovered that that could not work, they went further, to say that while I was in school I took some fire extinguishers away. I took the case up and went to court in Ado-Ekiti between 2009 and 2010. The judgment was given in my favour. The newspaper organisation, which published the story was asked to apologise, which it did. And all those things were corrected immediately. For those who do not know me very well, I'm a certified System Analyst. I B.Sc in Business Administration. I'm highly qualified for the position I occupied. I later left for the United Kingdom where I qualified as certified business analyst and later bagged a degree in Business Administration from the University of Ado-Ekiti. Those who peddled the rumour did that when I was the Speaker of the Assembly and they saw me as the person they must target to get at the then governor, Chief Olusegun Oni.

Imagine an environment based on seamlessly integrated intelligence that is so immersive that geospatial analysts in the intelligence community are able to "live within the data."
That futuristic-sounding scenario is on pace to be reality by 2020 at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, according to NGA Director Letitia Long, who spoke at a conference hosted by Esri on Feb. 11.
NGA's Map of the World will serve as the backbone for the agency's innovative geospatial efforts, which are outlined in the Intelligence Community Information Technology Enterprise initiative.
Decades ago, static maps were usually enough to satisfy the geospatial appetites of the 17 intelligence agencies, but major advances in cloud computing, mobile technology, networking, data transfer and computing in general now allow for immediate access to geospatial data processed by NGA.
Long said the Map of the World is the platform for all geo-intelligence, multisource content and knowledge, with corresponding analysis and reporting stored there as well. Imagery from satellites, maritime and air safety data, and a smorgasbord of other types of geospatial information are available to analysts with the proper credentials. And it all has been processed, curated and meta-tagged.
Using the Map of the World, analysts can focus on a geographic point in time and see layers upon layers of what is happening. The data is not, however, limited to geographic information. The Map of the World can also use social media and countless other datasets to highlight any object of interest, which can include human targets, at a highly detailed level to better show the true story.
Map of the World information is then made available via the Globe, a Web portal through which NGA shares intelligence information.
"In the past, you had to access multiple databases and search by hand for hours, sometimes even days, to find our information. That doesn't cut it in our rapidly changing world," Long said. "Map of the World provides a seamless, integrated environment so analysts can live within that data. [Our interest] is all about national security -- geospatial content far beyond any commercial offering.… All this content [is] tailored for specific defense, intelligence community and senior decision-makers' requirements."
NGA's Map of the World and its current geospatial capabilities will see improvements in the coming years, the largest of which might occur through big-data analytics, Long said. NGA is pioneering activity-based intelligence, which Long said will help the agency find the "unknown unknowns, and discover them more quickly than ever before."
The automated process allows analysts to find answers to questions more quickly because its systems sift through petabytes of geospatial data in real time. Long said the bottom line is more insight so "our policy-makers and warfighters make better decisions."
"Everything exists, every activity occurs, and everyone is somewhere at some time," she added.

Bootstrap @ Forager Farm – On Equipment and Capital
Unlike many other young farmers, we had access to land even before we made a concrete decision on whether to grow vegetables or not. We were fortunate enough to have family and friends willing to rent us a slice of land. Ultimately, we decided to rent land from some of our friends. This option allowed us access to some equipment as well as a place to live. Renting versus buying, whether land or equipment, allows us to get a feel for what works and... Read More
Bootstrap @ North Country Creamery – Investing in Equipment
Much to my surprise, my first investment when landing on this farm in the spring was stainless steel. Since I highly valued keeping the milk from my herd on the farm, I threw down for the high-dollar equipment that the previous owner (and fabulous cheesemaker) Sam Hendren had installed and used in his hay day (cheese day). I bought Sam's previous set-up: 300-gallon bulk tank, milk pails and cans, 200-gallon vat pasteurizer (also the cheese vat),... Read More
Bootstrap @ Blue Sage Farm – On Capital and Equipment
One of the most difficult things I had to do to get the dairy up and running was finding capital. "You want to milk what??!!" was the standard response from bankers.

I hate being in debt but if I hadn't borrowed so much money, I might have quit... Read More

New update does work on my older iphone
I bought this app and used it for several months. When the update came out I updated it and it no longer works. I am running a 1st gen phone running on ver 3.1.3. When the app loads it shows the screen for about a second and then goes back to the home screen. I have restored my phone, reinstalled and ran the app with no other apps on the phone. Nothing works! The developer site gives no help at all. No support info and they state do not email them for support. I was happy with the previous version and wish I had not upgraded. At this point I can NOT recommend this product. What a shame. Maybe it works on iOS 4, it does not on iOS 3.1.3. I want the old version back but can't find a way to get it.
As of August 31 the app works again. The update released on the 30th did fix my problem. Data was still there, and I am happy. I still am not happy with the support/developer site however. Therefore I can only give it a 4 star. When it works it is a very good program. but I will be very hesitant to update again.
Very Good TIme Management App!
I read all the reviews and downloaded the lite version. It was indeed lite, but the interface was easy to use and intuitive. I ran it on an iTouch V2 with OS 4.0.1 with no problems and saw none of the problems previously mentioned. I took a chance and have since bought the full version and am now running on an iPhone 3G with OS4.0.1. Getting ready to upgrade to 4.1 so let's hope it continues to work. Everything works great, the projects and tasks are very easy to create and the time reporting is easy to do. Does not take much time away from your activity and the reporting appears to be solid. A couple of nice to haves:
- Expenses section: allow to create an item for mileage with the allowed per mile/km amount.
I may be able to do this with the current setup, but since the expenses look for an hourly
rate rather than a per mile/km rate it's not straightforward.
- Migration capability between the lite and full version: I had to reenter all my data
for the past 3 days. With a longer test time and hence larger implementation this would
take awhile.
I haven't tried the Backup, Export or Data Management capabilities as yet, but I am not expecting any issues related to the app. All in all I am very happy with this app thus far and am looking forward to using this in my new position.
Want a time management app that delivers? Try this one ...
Fixed it
Ok, so it had been crashing for me every time I tried to save the first project since the last update. I gave up for months, waiting for an update to make it as awesome as it used to be when it first came out. No update came, though.
I got a new assignment and really wanted this app to work, so today I just deleted it and reinstalled it for free and voila! It works just fine now. So wish I had tried doing that months ago!!!!

Use roasted garlic instead of butter! Great way to add flavour using less fat and calories!Great on sandwiches, on baked potatoes and grilled cheese sanwiches (on the inside, not the outside). I add this to mashed potatoes, hummus and corn on the cob. Let's just say I try to slather anything I can with this garlicky goodness! LOL
If the thought of roasting your own bell peppers scares you away, reduce the time and effort by opting for jarred roasted peppers instead.
Use ground turkey instead of ground beef. Mash potatoes, use fat-free milk instead of whole milk & trans-fat-free margarine instead of butter. Mash steamed cauliflower into your potatoes. Steam green beans & season with a little curry & pepper, then top with a few slivered almonds instead of butter, or do a stir fry with any combination of green beans, broccoli, carrots, zucchini, onion, snow peas, red, yellow, green peppers, baby corn and then sauté in low-sodium soy sauce with garlic. Enjoy
Take a bulb of garlic (or more!) and roast them in the oven for an hour at 350 degrees. Then add some black pepper and puree. Use this everywhere you would use another spread - use it to replace butter, mayo, or peanut butter.

Instant analysis: Wizards 97, Bobcats 83
Rapper Nelly sits courtside for Bobcats-Wizards
CHARLOTTE -- The streak is over, and the Wizards finally have their first win of 2014 by beating the Charlotte Bobcats, 97-83, at Time Warner Cable Arena on Tuesday night.
The Wizards (15-17) ended a three-game losing skid, all coming at Verizon Center, to begin this three-game road trip. It was their eighth road victory, already surpassing last season's total of seven when they won just 29 games. The Wizards have won of five of their last six road games.
It was a sluggish first half as both teams shot just 42.9%, but after Cody Zeller put Charlotte ahead 39-36 the Wizards closed with a 7-0 run going into halftime. And for the first time in four games, the Wizards came out after break to score more than 20 points in the third quarter to extend the advantage to 66-55.
[RELATED VIDEO: John Wall throws down alley-oop from Booker]
Athough the Bobcats were able to trim the deficit to 88-81 on Anthony Tolliver's three-point play with 2:38 left in the fourth quarter, a jumper from Bradley Beal and a three-pointer by Martell Webster sealed the outcome.
The Wizards had four starters in double figures led by Beal with 21 on 10-for-18 shooting, his first 20-point game since returning from a right leg injury last month; Marcin Gortat with 18 points, John Wall's 17 and 12 from Trevor Booker. The bench contributed 25 points, led by 10 from Webster. Wall didn't have a turnover.
Turning point: The Wizards led 47-45 early in the third quarter and then went on a 17-0, 10 coming from an unlikely source in Booker, as the Bobcats were held four minutes without a field goal.
Best in show: Gortat. After having a bad stretch as a rebounder and defender, he was a difference-maker on both ends with his 11th double-double. His seven rebounds at the half were the most he'd had in six games. And he shut down Al Jefferson, forcing the Bobcats' center into airballs and second-guessing his moves to the bucket and contesting attackers at the rim. Jefferson was held to six points on 3-for-9 shooting and 10 rebounds. Gortat finished with 18 points on 7-for-13 shooting, 13 rebounds and three blocks.
Highlight reel: The pivotal run was inspired by Booker's lob to Wall for a dunk in transition. Wall then had a desperation three-pointer from about 33 feet, with the shot clock about to expire after Gortat mishandled his pass, for a 54-45 lead. And Jan Vesely's dunk in the second quarter isn't to be overlooked. He took off just inside the foul line -- for a moment it appeared he jumped too early -- for a throwdown.
[RELATED VIDEO: Vesely throws down big dunk in transition]
Around the bend: The Wizards left for New Orleans after this game, where they'll play the Pelicans on Wednesday (CSN, 8 p.m. ET).
From the locker room: "We didn't start the game making shots but we never lost that bounce and fire. When you give yourself a chance you can turn a game around. That's what we did. Of course, only having seven turnovers was key but we had different guys give us a boost. Trevor Booker in the third quarter was great. He had solid play on both ends of the floor. Bradley Beal was good in the fourth quarter. Gortat, I told him that he could play Al Jefferson. He fought him all night long. He turned it into an 18-and-13 night. Overall it was a good effort." -- Wizards coach Randy Wittman
"We went over a couple of things that we wanted to do in practice like moving the ball and we added facets to the game. After a missed or made shot we wanted to push the ball up the court. We did that and we got into a rhythm and we trusted each other. Book got hot in the third quarter and that got us on a roll. Then we just rolled with Brad down the stretch and he was making plays." -- Wall
"Collectively it was a great win. We kept our poise and we executed down the stretch." -- Webster
"We have great attitudes now. Everybody's happy. It's just something about the road that just makes us play better. We have to start protecting our home a little bit more." -- Beal
"We actually did a good job against their two biggest strengths. They're a good fast-breaking team and we did a good job with our transition defense and they're a good three-point shooting team and our three-point defense was good. We didn't play with the offensive energy level or strength. They were more physical than we were and that was the difference in the game." -- Bobcats coach Steve Clifford

Familiarity Breeds Content: As the Charter Movement Grows, So Does Public Approval
Gary Larson
A review of recent national and state-level polling data suggests that as the movement is expanding and people are becoming more familiar with charter schools, support is growing as well. "To know them is to love them" may overstate the case, but the trend is moving in that direction.

News Releases by Email
News Release
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Media contact: Kevin Baxter, 727-896-8626
During the past two months, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has received reports of more than 100 dead brown pelicans in Brevard County from Merritt Island to Melbourne. FWC researchers are trying to find out what is killing them.
"The pelicans are emaciated and have heavy parasite counts, and, to our knowledge, other bird species have not been affected," said Dan Wolf, an FWC researcher.
FWC researchers are assessing specimens and the environment for information that can help identify a potential cause.
Two weeks ago, they sent samples to the National Wildlife Health Center for testing but, so far, there are no definitive answers. Researchers are awaiting results from additional samples sent this week that may determine whether botulism, which is sometimes the cause of die-offs like this, played a role. However, according to Wolf, botulism generally kills its victims quickly, leaving little time for the bird to become emaciated. Citizens should continue to report any dead pelicans online at MyFWC.com/Bird or by calling the FWC's Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922.
For sick or injured birds, contact a local wildlife rehabilitative facility for assistance or call your local FWC office for names of rehabilitators in your area.
Remember to protect yourself when picking up dead birds or other animals by always wearing rubber gloves or inserting your hands in plastic bags. Place the bird in a plastic bag, tie the bag closed and then place it inside a second bag and tie it shut. If you take the dead bird to the landfill, be sure to let employees there know you are disposing of an animal carcass. In some landfills, carcasses are buried immediately to prevent vultures, eagles and other scavengers from feeding on a possibly diseased carcass.
FWC Facts:Healthy lakes with vibrant fisheries enhance property values & development potential and justify the need for sustainable development practices to protect them into the future.

's Nestor Carbonell will finally be a series regular next season. "I'm moving my whole family to Hawaii next week," Nestor tells me. "This whole time I've been flying back and forth, but now I'll be living on the island with the others. They tell me I'll be in 16 of the 18 episodes." Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof say his backstory will take a significant time to reveal. Adds the actor: "Obviously Richard doesn't age, so I'm most curious to know how old he is and if he's in fact pulling the strings.
-We won't see much DHARMA in Season 6.
-Jacob has NOT appeared as another character on the show.
-[Ian] Somehalder told EW exclusively that
producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse only told him half an hour before the
Vampire Diaries
panel that he will be coming back next season. "It's not clear yet" when it'll happen but "it'll be very soon." Somerhalder said he wasn't necessarily surprised at the development, because he had been talking to the producers for some time about returning. "It's just a matter of timing and getting me down there," says Somerhalder.
"Everyone's always in favor of saving Hitler's brain. But when you put it in the body of a great white shark, ooohh! Suddenly you've gone too far!"

Park Newsletter for August 3, 2007
Cheryl Higbee, NPS
Betty Fleming Honored
With a ready smile and cheerful greeting, Betty Fleming welcomes hundreds of people each day to Olympic National Park. This year, she celebrates her twentieth summer as a visitor use assistant at the Heart O'the Hills entrance station.
Betty's known for her attention to detail and unfailing good spirits at Olympic's busiest entrance. She was recently honored with an On-the-Spot employee award.
Congratulations, Betty! And thank you for your 20 years of welcoming and helping park visitors.
Student Conservation Association
Student Conservation Association Celebrates 50th Anniversary
About 50 people gathered on July 27 to celebrate the 50-year partnership between Olympic National Park and the Student Conservation Association (SCA).
The SCA was founded in 1957 by Liz Titus Putnam, who based her senior thesis at Vassar College on the idea of helping national parks by involving students in conservation work. Olympic National Park was one of two parks to host students that year and is the only park to have hosted SCAs every year of the organization's five-decade history.
This summer, Olympic is hosting a six-member high school trail maintenance crew, along with 13 college interns working in a variety of disciplines, including backcountry work, visitor service and volunteer group project coordination.
Members of the original 1957 all-male crew joined other SCA alumni and this year's crew members and interns (including both women and men!) in the celebration.
Passing of Matt Albright
Surrounded by his children, parents and friends, long-time park employee Matthew Albright passed away on Friday, July 20th in Seattle, two months after being diagnosed with germ cell cancer.
Matt loved the wilderness of Olympic National Park and was the park's nursery manager for the past 19 years, specializing in wilderness revegetation. A pioneer in northwest native plant propagation, Matt gathered seeds and plant cuttings from highly-impacted backcountry sites and brought them to the park greenhouse where they were used to propagate hundreds of thousands of young plants for restoration of the vulnerable areas where they originated.
Matt taught hundreds of employees and volunteers to propagate and care for native species, and to successfully transplant them in wilderness. His energy and presence will remain a part of the roots, stems and leaves of the plants now thriving at the park's revegetation sites and in the park greenhouse.
A native of North Carolina, Matt moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1980. He held Masters of Arts degrees in Islamic Studies and in Near Eastern Languages and Literature and was an amazing linguist, comfortable speaking and writing in several languages including Arabic and Portuguese.
The most important thing in Matt's life were his children, Abraham (29), Margaret (26), Joseph (24), Annie (22) and Elizabeth (20). He is also survived by his mother Patricia K. Nelson, step-father, Walter Nelson, and brother, Manny.
Matt was an avid runner and talented vegetarian cook and was known for always being there if needed with advice and understanding. Matt was a wonderful father and friend and a person who stood out in every encounter. He will be greatly missed.
Several hundred people attended a potluck and celebration of Matt's life, held on the shores of Lake Crescent on Sunday, July 29.
Cards and letters of condolence to Matt's family may be sent to: Pat and Walter Nelson at PO Box 65048, Port Ludlow, Washington, 98365.

"The EV-HD10 Cool mist humidifier is very poorly made. Does not work after one season of use. Contacted the manufacture and they gave no consolation what so ever. If all of Sharper Image products are this poorly handled I will not be stung again by purchasing them."
"I wish I could give Sharper Image a BIG zero, this is the worst Company ever, can't understand why they are still exist. I placed an order for a Bose Quiet Comfort on 12/18/13, received Email Confirmation right away, however, today is 1/6/2014 and the order is still In Progress, I called but got no human, I just posted a negative feedback on their Facebook and now I just got an email from them saying sorry that the item is "out of stock and my order has been canceled". I just checked their website and the item is still listed there. Bye bye SI!"
"I ordered an item that was in-stock to get for Xmas. I paid for expedited shipping so that it would get to my location faster.
Obviously, I didn't get the item in time so I called customer service. The lady said that it was backordered two weeks, so I asked if I could cancel, nope. I asked if I could switch to ground shipping, nope. Basically they can't do anything after you've placed an order. Ridiculous."
"HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SITE. DONT WASTE MONEY ON THIS SITE. DONT FALL FOR COUPONS/SALE ON THIS SITE. This site IS SCAM."
"I ordered a product 2 weeks ago and it has not even shipped yet! According to the automated message I received, it has is still being processed. This is absolutely unacceptable. I reached out to customer support through email yesterday morning and have not even received a response. I bought this product from Sharper Image over other sellers because I thought it was the most reliable option....boy was I wrong. If you want your product to arrive on time, DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM SHARPER IMAGE."
"Apparently there is not even a single person happy with their purchase. Hopefully by the time you read it, you have not made a purchase yet. I'm sorry if you did. This company is just a mess. They won't provide you a minimum customer service. Did you see their prices? Are very high - today you can find them cheaper in other websites. Even charging that much, they don't have provide a minimum level of customer service.
Don't do business with them. You'll loose money, like I did."
"Horrible experience and I will never shop here nor reccommend it to anyone! I ordered a fathers day gift and when it came in it was broken! I returned it and after calling 3 times to check the status I was always told it is being shipped! I just hung up with them and was informed it never has been in the process of being shipped because it is on permanent back order! They lied 3 times to my face and then offered me a gift card! No thanks! They have terrible customer service and lye to their shoppers! Never again! !!"
"As a 20 plus year customer of what was once one of the best stores and on line catalogs in the history of shopping, the new Sharper Image is not what one would expect...the products are really good but this is where it gets dicey.
Customer Service Sucks! I was so excited to find the Smartphone lightbulbs and immediately ordered a set. This is where it all went bad. Upon receiving these items over week later - more than the expected shipping that I paid for- they were in a thin bubble envelope. They were totally disintegrated. Why the shipper mailed lightbulbs in a packet versus a box is so mind blowing. Not only that- upon opening the packet- the glass wall broken into bits and I sliced my hand.
Upon calling TSI customer service to recount this horrible experience, the person I spoke to was robotic and had not concern. When I saw that they wherever"reading from a CS manual" I asked to speak to her supervisor. At 5:00 pm - the CS department of a major shopping catalog went home. There was just the CS operators. However, I was promised a call back within one - two days- a week later no call. When I called yesterday- they are closed Friday after 6pm and reopen on Monday.
My advice- don't order until they get their shit together because this venture capital resurgence is an experiment gone bad. There are other catalogs that offer the same stuff ( Herrington, Hammacher Schlemmer , brooks tone) who have excellent CS departments."
"My parents recently purchased two Sharper Image handheld vacuums at a trade show and gave them to myself and my sister. My vacuum cleaner only worked once and never started again (despite following the instructions of cleaning the filter and waiting at least 20 minutes). My sister's still works; however, only for about five minutes at a time (at best) before overheating and shutting itself down. I called the help number listed on the cord and after being placed on hold, was transferred to an answering machine. When I contacted Sharper Image by email, they sent me a message back saying that they could not help, as they do not manufacture their own products, and therefore are unable to service or replace them. I truly feel that my parents' trusting nature was taken advantage of and I am highly disappointed (and quite frankly, disgusted) with the ethics shown by this company."
"Worst customer service. I ordered a product and was told it would be shipping on June 8th and then I called back two weeks later to find out when my product would be arriving and was told it was now shipping July 1st. I was beyond upset being that this was supposed to be a Father's Day gift for my husband. The representative was then argumentative with me and said extremely rude remarks to me. I asked for her employee ID and was told she could only write her initials. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was on hold for several minuets and then the same representative came back on the line and told me a supervisor would have to call me back within 24 hours because no one was available. According to her there are only "6 customer service reps" so I can only imagine how many supervisors there are. What a ridiculous company! They seriously have the worst customer service representatives I have ever dealt with."
"Extremely poor customer service. I received a defective item; when they issued a refund, they conveniently forgot to credit back the shipping cost. They claimed an error but given the totality of poor customer service, I am rather skeptical about that. Before I received the product, Sharper Image requested that I post a review. I took the time to post a honest review that was not offensive or disparaging in any way of the defective window vacuum robot. Several weeks passed & Sharper Image never posted it. I complained to Sharper Image &they said they reserve the right which reviews to post. This means that consumers think that they are reading all of the reviews; instead the negative reviews are apparently dropped. The only posted reviews for this product are 2 5-star reviews. This means the next customer who considers the robotic window vacuum & relies on the impressions of other customers will be deceived. This constitutes a deceptive practice on an unknowing public."
"4 mos. later...
'Customer Service' (a sad joke on customers) told me I had no recourse..'sorry 'bout that'- laughed & hung up!
The item I ordered for a xmas present was defective. After Finally obtaining "authority" from supercilious person at the manufacturer; I followed their detailed instructions and sent back the pool thermometer that had failed after 10 days.
Over 2 months later, I contacted them to find out why it hadn't been returned. They told me they would have to send a new one because it couldn't be fixed - AND, they would not being doing anything further for me!!! (? this is my fault right??) Didn't argue, said, thank you. After only a few more weeks I actually received it.
Less than 2 weeks later, the 'new' one failed. (Same way, they take on water.)
"I ordered two items from Shaper Image for Christmas. Only one of the items I ordered arrived which turned out to be defective. After waiting a couple of days, I called Sharper image and was told that other item was not in stock and there were no plans to order more. I was also told that I would recieve a refund which I never got. I contacted the company via their website and was finally issued a gift certificate for the defective item but still have not received credit or a refund of the other item. I don't understand why I can't seem to get a refund from the people. When I called the customer service line it sounded like they consisted of two teenages working from home. There was a lot of background noise and they had zero product knowledge. "
"I ordered some Christmas presents on 12-12-12, so I knew they would be here in time, and the 1st item I ordered I had no problem with, it got here in time and was in good condition. The second item however did not ship out with the 1st so I emailed customer service and they said there was a strike in the warehouse and it affected this item. I was not happy that I was not informed that I would not get it by Christmas before I placed the order. I understand that s**t happens, but they should have notified me before I paid so I could have chosen an item that was not affected by the strike. A week or so later I get an email that says they cancelled my second order and the next day I got another email saying it shipped. I finally get the Western movies I ordered and the box is smashed. The dvd's were not affected, but the box was not worth saving. I emailed customer service yet again and they asked me to ship it back so I can get a new one. I told them I would just keep it since the movies were ok and because it took so much effort just to get them in the 1st place. With as much money they make you would think they would use better packaging to make sure the items get to the customers in good condition. Overall, I was not happy about the service I received and would recommend you save yourself the headache and shop somewhere else."
"can't stand by The Sharper Image quality. i received a sharper image led lamp as a present and when we went to use it for the hurricane it didn't work. it was missing a piece to hold the battery. i contacted sharper image and this is their reply: Unfortunately we cannot replace the lamp/lights if it was not purchased from sharperimage.com. We recommend you refer to your instruction booklet for the manufacturers name and number or ask the gift giver where they purchased it from so you can get a replacement or return.
BOO on them!
i attempted to contact the manufacturer and waited on hold for 20 minutes. i emailed them and have not yet heard back. it's been 4 days."

GREENEVILLE, Tenn.(WVLT) -- Faith and family is the core of many of us in East Tennessee.
It's even more so for Eli and Wilma Mullett, owners of Mountain View Furniture in Greeneville
"I was Amish. As I grew up we went Mennonite then and we had vehicles," said Wilma.
They are very fundamental in faith but also having high standards when it comes to furniture. All you have to do is say the word Amish.
"The Amish and the Mennonite both have always taken great pride in their workmanship," said Eli Mullett.
The family moved to Greeneville by way of Pennsylvania, a mecca in the Amish way of life.
Wilma says, "The dividing line is if you drive a horse and buggy if you're Amish. If you have cars you're no longer Amish, dress is a little different, religious beliefs are about the same."
It was only natural they opened up their business after noticing there weren't many local Amish furniture stores around.
"One thing that's unique about this furniture is, it's all made in the USA , all hand crafted and you can come in the store and create your own furniture", said Eli.
Whether it's rocking the little one or eating at a hand crafted dinner table, the Amish and Mennonites feel family is a huge center of their faith.
"They believe what they do is all to the honor and glory to God, and I think they're hearts are there."

Curt McPherson denied most of the allegations against him.
- Filed Under
The executive director of the Butler County Veterans Services Commission narrowly survived a bid Monday to get rid of him after he was accused of not helping a veteran who threatened suicide, verbally abusing a commissioner and his wife, discussing the health of an employee and filling out his sister's claim for widow's benefits.
That wasn't enough for three of five commissioners who voted against forcing Curt McPherson to retire or firing him. The same members - Tom Stamper, Ken Smith and Lowell Stewart - then opposed lowering McPherson's $91,400 annual salary by $15,000 as discipline.

Three games into Donovan McNabb's tenure with the Vikings, he remains winless and coach Leslie Frazier is being asked whether he has considered benching the veteran quarterback.
Frazier dismissed a postgame question about McNabb's status as the starter, with first-round pick Christian Ponder waiting on the sidelines, after Minnesota's 26-23 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions, which dropped the Vikings to 0-3 on the season.
"I don't think the quarterback position is our problem right now," Frazier said. "No. We're not thinking about anything at the quarterback position."
McNabb completed a season-high 22 passes and discovered some chemistry with receiver Michael Jenkins, who caught nine balls for 88 yards. He finally connected with tight end Visanthe Shiancoe for an 8-yard touchdown strike to give the Vikings a 20-0 halftime lead.
But McNabb finished with only 211 yards and misfired badly on several attempts - imprecision coming under greater scrutiny.
With 1:22 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Vikings driving toward a potential touchdown on third-and-five from Detroit's 31-yard line, McNabb had good protection but overthrew Bernard Berrian, who had a step on his defender in the end zone. The Vikings settled for Ryan Longwell's field goal to force overtime.
McNabb twice missed tight end Jim Kleinsasser in the open field while rookie tight end Kyle Rudolph was forced to make an acrobatic catch to haul in a 20-yard pass that was behind him to extend the Vikings' drive.
"I feel like I left some plays out there," McNabb acknowledged. "You recognize the opportunities you had that you didn't take advantage of. Things can get cleaned up, and for me that's the part that I look forward to - cleaning up."
McNabb is 1-8 in his last nine starts, which includes his final six last year with the Washington Redskins. The Vikings signed the free agent to a one-year, $5.05 million contract, hoping McNabb would rekindle the fire that made him a dynamic playmaker for a decade with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The move also allowed Minnesota to groom Ponder behind a veteran while trying to stay competitive with an aging roster. But if the Vikings continue to lose and demonstrate little progress in the passing game, the cries to give Ponder a shot will only amplify.
"I'm not going to show my anger right now but I'm upset," McNabb said. "Everyone is upset. It's going to be a week where we watch what we do, correct our mistakes, go out and have a different attitude at practice."
