If there's one word that comes to mind regarding our online activities over the last few years it is security. Not only are there people from as far as the Ukraine and China trying to access our private information but there's also been plenty of occasions when friends, family and co workers have felt the compulsion to see what we are up to on our devices. I've lost count of the number of times that I've seen an embarrassing post on a friend's social media account which has obviously been entered by someone other than themselves when they have left ...

Have a look around you. I bet you have a ton of stuff that works perfectly well and yet you don't use very much - if at all. Most households are the same. We've all got useful stuff that is just taking up space in our homes. Your nextdoor neighbor or the family down the road probably have the same situation. The fact is, when we need something like a circular saw or a bicycle or a microwave, we just go out and buy a new one rather than asking if our neighbors have one that we can buy or ... Read more
It's kinda rare for me to remember my dreams at night past that first ten minutes when I wake up in the morning. It seems so vivid at first but then it just seems to disappear as your mind grasps for more... like smoke in a breeze.

The fact that the friend was the girlfriend of a good friend of mine just made it more complicated - but, that's another story. They say ... Read more
You might have seen a review that FeedMyApp posted recently for an app called BooksTo.Me. In it, it was mentioned how posting daily Instagram photos has become the new diary for many people and how it was a convenient way of documenting your life. The diary concept has all but disappeared for many these days, but with so many popular online versions available as well as the plethora of personal blogs and journals, it's obvious that many have a hankering to document their daily activities. But anyone who writes on a daily basis will know that the hardest sentence to ... Read more
We've all been there I'm sure. You found an amazing photo or video that you liked a while ago and you added it to your social media stream and now you want to find it again. But the only way to find it again is by scrolling back through your Facebook timeline and trying to remember when it was you shared it. Or maybe it was a photo that you shared on Instagram that you've been telling people about but can't find. If you are looking on your iDevice it could take you hours, right?

Have you checked out the price of greetings cards recently? It's no wonder that so many people choose to use social networks to say happy birthday to their friends rather than their rather expensive paper equivalent. What's more, having looked at some of the examples of physical birthday cards in a shop the other day, let's just say that many of them leave a little to be desired.

Former Gbagbo aide faces ICC judgesComment on this story
The Hague - Ivorian ex-president Laurent Gbagbo's right-hand man, Charles Ble Goude, faced International Criminal Court judges for the first time on Thursday for his alleged role in a deadly post-election standoff three years ago.
The leader of the so-called "Young Patriots", a fanatical group of Gbagbo supporters, is facing four counts of crimes against humanity for his role in the 2010-11 unrest which the United Nations said left 3 000 people dead.
Also called Gbagbo's "Street General", Goude was arrested in Ghana more than a year ago and extradited to the Ivory Coast, but authorities previously were hesitant to send him to the world's only permanent war crimes court.
The firebrand leader on Sunday joined his former boss at the ICC's detention unit in a seaside suburb of The Hague.
Gbagbo, who was transferred to The Netherlands in late 2011, also faces four counts of crimes against humanity, but the court has yet to confirm the charges, pending further investigation. - Sapa-AFP

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get LO to sleep at a decent hour at night. She's always been a night owl. Shes 3 months and 2 weeks, before she would go to bed around 3-5am. Now around 2-3am she'll go to bed. It doesn't bother me , i dont mind staying up with her but it would be nice to have a normal bedtime. Im thinking maybe its too early to try to get her into a decent bedtime...maybe wait until she's 6 months? or maybe I should start now? Any tips? Am I the only mom staying up so late ? I hope not lol
Madison Alexandra 06/20/12
Wow. Really?
What time does she "nap"? How much sleep is she getting?
No, it's not too early for a decent bedtime.
We started our bedtime routine early (within a couple weeks of LO getting home from the hospital). 6:30pm, bath & pajamas. Read or music. Bottle. In bed by 7:30pm.
He'll sleep until approx 6am with 1 wake between 12-2am. And he'll nap a few times during the day.
Consistency is key.
I agree, consistency is key! I thought my DD was a "night owl" too because she also started off wanting to play around at night. However, she wasn't usually hungry -- just looking for attention (that was way back wtihin her first month). I moved her bassinette into her nursery at that point because nobody was getting any sleep, and I nearly got into a car accident (scary story) from sleep deprivation. I used to set my alarm to make sure I woke up to feed her, but I stopped doing that and used her monitor to listen for her cries. What do you know? It didn't take long for her to go from 11 PM to 6 AM straight! A few days later, she fell asleep on my chest at 9 PM, and I realized she could handle a 9 PM - 6 AM sleep cycle (with feedings if needed). Lo and behold, within another week, she was sleeping straight through the night. I started a consistent bedtime routine of bathing, bottle, story/song, and then bed. It worked and has been a huge lifesaver for all of us. So it is entirely possible to help your child adjust and start to sleep through the night, and there are a ton of sleep-training ideas out there -- CIO methods and non-CIO methods as well. Now my DD goes to bed between 7:30-8 PM and sleeps until 7 AM.
Oh, and the other "trick" is to keep it dark and quiet whenever you want baby to sleep. Sounds over simple, but I don't turn on any lights when LO wakes up overnight and he's back to sleep within 15 minutes of his wake up.
Me(25) + Him(34) = Remi (6/13/12)
Good luck!
when she was a newborn, my baby went to bed around 11pm. she just wouldn't fall asleep sooner, even though she was crabby and tired. at about 6 weeks i started moving bedtime up towards 8pm, and now she goes to bed between 7 and 8 every night. i was happy with 8-ish, but she decided she sometimes wants to go to sleep earlier. she's pretty committed to waking up around 2am for a feeding and waking up for the day around 7am, but some nights she has a lot more night wakings.

Hey everyone,
I don't normally like to air family drama, but I don't really know where to go to get this one off my chest. I am freaking out! I went on a lovely cloth diaper spending spree this morning and when I went to my online banking in order to make sure I reappropriated funds for paypal I noticed that a substantial amount of money is gone. Pretty much all of my savings was gone, but my checking was left alone. I was really confused and started investigating, knowing the bank must have made a mistake. I found a large withdrawal two days ago and called the bank. The clerk told me that the withdrawal was made in my mother's name at her home bank. I was not even aware that my mother still had access to my accounts as they were originally created as a cosign years and years ago. I have been trying to get ahold of her, but so far no calls back. I have no idea why she would do that? I am trying to think positive thoughts here and the only thing I can come up with is there is a chance she withdrew the money to use for my student loans I have been working at paying of,f as some of my mail still goes to her address and there is a chance she opened it.t I cannot justify why she would overstep that bounds and not tell me. She has mentioned nothing about money to me, and I am so blindsided as we talked a few days ago. I have now rearranged my money into my checking accounts so she cannot get at it, but I am so confused...
I am so angry right now. She is unhappy about my choice in mate and us expecting. She does not want to be a grandmother and never asks about the little one. She did buy us a very nice baby gift however. She is crazy, but I would have put this outside her range of crazy. She keeps telling me my life will fail, but when it does she will be there to catch me. Somehow I get the feeling this is her trying to get us to fall (though I am sure she has a brilliant story cooked up to tell the extended family so they all know why I am in the wrong) ... Thank goodness for DH and him coming from a different family.
Here we are less than two months from our due date. I now lack the spending money I had to get ready for the little one. He/she will have what they need, but nothing more, not that we had lavish goals in the first place as we are young. I am heartbroken that we wont be able to do the small frills we had planned (like painting and a swing). Now the money I had for paying off my student loans is gone (if that is not where my mother put it). More than that, I cannot imagine I will be on positive speaking terms with my family after this all goes down, and this is supposed to be a happy time for us all. Monetarily my husband and I will work it out and find ways to make ends meet. I had enough saved up that I could continue to work on my doctorate in the fall, but now I will have to put that off and work instead. All of these things can be fixed, however. The bonds and trust I have with my parents is now gone. I am speechless and extremely hurt. I could deal with them being less than happy expectant grandparents living across the country, but I cannot allow them to steal food from my childs mouth and jeopardize our future as a family.
I have an extremely important exam tomorrow that I dedicated this afternoon to studying for, and now I cannot concentrate. Who does this? WTH?

Live Piano Music for your Wedding Day...
...Enhance the romantic atmosphere of your day with the delightful sound of a grand piano playing in the background.
You and your guests can enjoy a rich and varied selection of romantic ballads, hits from the London stage, popular standards played in a jazzy style and well-known classics.
Before the day I will contact you to discuss the playlist, so as to include some of your own special favourites in the programme. For the ceremony, your chosen pieces will need the approval of the Superintendent Registrar - I will prepare a programme that can be submitted in advance.
Each programme is prepared individually according to taste and will depend on which of the options is chosen.
If your chosen venue has a grand piano, I will ensure well in advance that its condition is up to the standard of public performance. If there is no piano, then I have my own electronic Yamaha P250 that can be set up for the day. The Yamaha is also suitable for use on a patio, a lawn or in a marquee.
On the day you will receive a 15-track CD featuring some of the pieces played during the performance.


text: Hi all... I'm new here... 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data this is not a homework question, I'm just solving practice questions for exam preparation Two wheels with masses M1 = 2 kg and M2 = 4 kg are connected. The ratio is R1 = 5 cm and R2 = 10 cm Considering an angular velocity of ωo = 10rads-1 for the small wheel and a constant angular acceleration of α = 1 rads-2 What will be the torque τ required to stop the system after 20 s within a period of 2 s? 2. Relevant equations T1ω2=T2ω1 and P = E/t 3. The attempt at a solution I already found the energies of the Gears, E1= 1.125J and E2=2.25J but I have no idea how to find the torque needed to stop them in 2 seconds. I'm not even sure if I'm on the right track. I have like 3-4 A4 sheets worth of work all scribbled on/crossed out... actually my problem is that if I work out the Torques, their ratio comes out at 0.25 rather than 0.5, so I'm not sure what to do.

"Animal Cruelty and the Law: Permitted Conduct," by Professor Joan Schaffner
As a part of Animal Cruelty: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Understanding, an anthology that addresses all aspects of animal cruelty, Professor Schaffner's chapter discusses legally permissible treatment of animals used for food, research and entertainment in institutional settings exempt from the anti-cruelty laws yet arguably in violation of their standards.
Introduction to Animals and the Law, by Professor Joan SchaffnerThroughout history, humans have raised and confined animals for food, clothing and research, trained animals for entertainment, fought animals for sport, bought and sold animals for profit, and lived with animals for companionship. The law under the umbrella of 'animal law' regulates these human uses and interactions with animals. Animal law is extremely diverse, cutting across every substantive area, jurisdictional boundary, and source of legal authority. Although most countries have enacted Animal Welfare Acts and Endangered Species Laws, the law is currently designed primarily to protect the interests of humans as owners of animals, or as users of environmental resources. The animals' inherent interests, if considered, are secondary.
This text surveys the laws allegedly designed to protect animals, identifies the themes that link them, analyzes and critiques them in light of their consideration and protection of animals' interests, and explores characteristics of a future legal system that would adequately protect animals' inherent interests. Full book review
Professor Joan Schaffner receives the 2009 Henry Bergh Leadership Award for unwavering commitment to ending the systematic killing of animals in U.S. shelters. Please see the press release for more information.
Two groundbreaking books on animal law have been recently published by the American Bar Association under the auspices of the Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section's Animal Law Committee (the Committee).

This test expects results which are dependent on the precision of the results of decimal arithmetic, which is implementation-dependent. I have changed the test to use round-half-to-even() to remove this dependency. Please check that this change is OK.
It seems to have broken for me. I'll investigate further.
I am ok with this change, but will hear from more implementers.
We have had an issue with several tests when it comes to decimal precision across implementations, which we need to look at individually.
I have made a similar change to the test-case "itunes", rounding all decimal values to four decimal places to remove implementation dependencies.
currencysvg.xq required a few more calls to round-half-to-even.
itunes3.xq required a stable order by.
Please mark as CLOSED if you agree with the resolution. Otherwise, REOPEN.
Thanks, these tests are now working with Saxon so I assume they are now interoperable.

8 Ways to Use Social Listening for Your Business
Do you monitor what people are saying about you online?
Are you using this information to enhance your business?
The insights you gather about your customers, prospects, products and competitors with social listening can be valuable.
In this article you'll discover eight ways to use social listening for your business.
Why Social Listening?
Social listening (or media monitoring, as some people like to call it) is about searching the web and the social space to see what's being said about your company, your competitors and other topics of interest.

How to Respond to a Social Media Crisis
Does your brand have a crisis response plan in place?
Do you know what tactics to use to defend your reputation online?
In this article, you'll discover three examples of reputation crisis response and seven steps for defending your own reputation online.
Why Reputation Matters
A global survey by Deloitte ranks reputation as executives' top strategic risk. The study found most reputation management programs don't support their business strategy well.
It's important to understand the way online conversations roll out.
Here are some key factors to consider:
- Anyone's voice in social media can be heard.
- Companies can have more difficulties than individuals in avoiding bad news.
- Due to online social and web search, kindred spirits can easily become aware of others who share their criticisms.
- Bad news travels faster and further than good news.
Keep these factors in mind as we explore three case studies of companies with major reputation management problems and how they handled them.
How Buffer Responded to Crisis
Buffer, the online social media scheduling site, was recently severely hacked.
Buffer became aware of the problem very rapidly and took immediate action to handle the problem. You can see a full account of their actions during the 24 hours immediately following the hack on their blog.
They were quick to inform their customers of the problem and explain what they were doing to fix it before most of their customers were even aware there'd been an attack. Here is just one of the messages they sent via Facebook.
3 Tips to Manage Your Social Media Reputation
Are you managing your online reputation?
Reputation can affect purchase decisions and influence the growth or decline of a business.
Many businesses are using social media to develop online reputations, manage and respond during a crisis and monitor the conversation to prevent future crises.
Try searching your company and product names to make an assessment of your online reputation. What do you see in the top 10 search results?
What follows are three tips to help you manage your reputation with social media.
#1: Establish Your Online Reputation
When someone Googles your brand name, your business should be sitting right there on the first page waiting for the user. And yourbrandname.com shouldn't be the only branded search result.
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social brand pages should assist in owning the first search engine results page. Especially if you have a common name, owning your brand name search queries is important for users to find the right information.

SAN CLEMENTE What if taxpayers could encourage dog owners to contribute some of the $8,892 the city spends in a year to equip its beach trail with dog-waste bags? Or maybe invite all users of the trail to pitch in toward keeping it clean?
But how do you collect donations in a way that doesn't add clutter, tackiness or vandalism along the 2.3-mile path?
City Council members think they've come up with ideas that could work. This week they agreed with city staff not to go with a suggestion to put decorated parking meters at select spots on the trail with a sign inviting people to insert donations to help pay for doggie bags and other trail needs. Council members said there could be nicer ways:
Invite local veterinarians to sponsor the bags and provide the sponsors with discreet recognition on the bag kiosks.
Put up a "Like the beach trail?" sign at trail entrances, directing people to san-clemente.org to donate for trail niceties.
Display a QR code that would instantly connect a trail user's smartphone to a donation site.
"People are more generous when they're giving electronically," Councilman Tim Brown said.
" 'Bob's Veterinary Shop sponsored this dog-waste bag!' … I like it!" Mayor Bob Baker said.
The council took no action but left open the ideas.
The council had asked staff to look into donation boxes or decorated parking meters. Sharon Heider, director of beaches, parks and recreation, said decorative meters in Laguna Beach have doubled as public art while raising donations to help the homeless. She also noted, however, that San Clemente once tried parking meters at tennis courts asking 25 cents an hour to offset lighting costs, but donations were nil and someone cut off the meters and trashed them.
Other types of donation receptacles could invite vandalism – "anything people know money is in," Heider said.

Hotels in Bordeaux
To mark its 10th anniversary, the renowned French hotel and spa commissioned the avant-garde fashion house Maison Martin Margiela to revamp its stand-alone suite, a favorite with local residents. Black-and-white photographs cover the walls, and white curtains are draped over cowskin floor mats.
The property, just southwest of Pomerol, is now in the hands of Martin Krajewski, an English businessman who has added several large and immaculate guest rooms, regional cooking classes, and a freestanding art gallery filled with John Hoyland and Terry Frost canvases.
For its renovation of the 232-year-old historic palace across from the National Opera, Regent tapped Jacques Garcia to revamp the 250 rooms. The whole place verges on the ornate, with 19th-century French furniture, richly colored brocade fabrics, and vast marble bathrooms.

Weight Watchers by Conair WW45PDQ Compact Tracker Scale
The Weight Watchers by Conair WW45PDQ is advanced for a basic digital scale: This model is capable of comparing your current weight to your start and goal weight. A compact unit with a white surface, its clear display proved a bit more difficult to read than other models in our test. Although it weighed volunteers consistently, it wasn't as accurate in testing. This Conair model boasts a convenient carrying handle built into the design of the scale.
Reviewed: September 2013
Price When Reviewed: $34.99
- Lightweight
- Inexpensive
- Smaller platform
- Less accurate than other scales in GHRI tests
- Some consumer testers found it difficult to read the display

As it lacks the 2 vs 1 component, it'd be impossible to recognize for a native speaker of English as similar to the birds/stone phrase. And I suppose Grimm's tales aren't that well known in the US though I recall having seen an abridged volume in a LA bookstore. (Interestingly, they edited quite a few endings, like the evil witch in Hänsel & Gretel
getting shoved into the oven and burnt to death.)

I respectfully disagree. It is not always that easy to recognize the origin of a poster. I myself have been mistaken for a native speaker on this very board more than once. I was even thratened with a ban, under the (false) assumption that I was a well-known Anglo-Canadian troll's dual.
As a general rule, you can recognize foreigners by their better command of grammar and spelling (no offense meant, just pointing out an - admittedly somewhat embarrassing - fact)

At a board I used to frequent we had a good way of dealing with that sort of guy. It was a game of sorts, called "hug the troll". We'd follow the victim everywhere, be absolutely annoyingly friendly and spam the person with hugs until they were so disgusted they left in a hurry. It worked infallibly.

Errand of Mercy Why didnt Kor deport spock?
View Single Post
March 21 2013, 10:15 PM
Re: Errand of Mercy Why didnt Kor deport spock?
How many visitors did Organia get? Not many, by the looks of it.
The very fact (false, but Kor doesn't know that) that there was a Vulcan merchant there would appear to establish the "visitors" thing, a means for the Vulcan to move his merchandise etc. If Kor wanted to deport the Vulcan, he could certainly tell the man to contact his organization and get the hell out of Dodge. Apparently, for some reason, it wouldn't be a factor that Vulcans were UFP members and far from neutral in the conflict - so letting a Vulcan transport pick up the businessman should be okay, too.
I think the big question here is, why didn't Kor's interrogation technique work? Why did he trust that Spock was as bona fide as bona fide gets when in fact his technique was so thoroughly faulty? Had it perhaps worked on Vulcanoids (say, Romulans) before? And if so, why was Spock able to thwart it?
I could well buy Kor not really minding the two suspect civilians. The trouble they caused by blowing up the munitions dump wasn't that big a deal, and arresting the duo afterwards should have been the end of it. We never learned if the Klingons wanted to eradicate the Federation once and for all, or merely to gain a few more systems - but the latter goal would be better reached if Kor didn't burn too many bridges, whereas only the former would call for ruthless crushing of all resistance. And that only if Organia really mattered; a true Armageddon conquest campaign would involve moving on soon thereafter, and the Empire should not really be interested in the strength of its grip on the backward little planet in that scenario, unless Organia had some inherent value we weren't told of in addition to being a strategic stepping stone.

Yet another official blog from Google, this one for Google Talk. When we gained the Google Base blog, I wished for Google to give us an all-in-one feed. Philip over at Google Blogoscoped was feeling the same frustration, and he solved that by creating a web page that unites them all. The only problem is, you can't get a feed of everything that goes onto that page. Hopefully, Google itself will come up with that unified feed.
Postscript: Philip's created a feed now, which you'll find here.

I wear opera-length black gloves and a tutu. Over the years I have also done various other styles of bosom dance. There was the Bosom Tap Dance, which I performed in a nightclub off Broadway...'

I am making a geometrical optics demo in HTML5 canvas, the mouse points the light source, you can craft some barriers, javascript do the calculation work and display light and shadow on on a line behind those barriers.
from those canvas drag'n'drop tutorials I found online, all of them are using
setInterval() to make mouse interactions happen, which means the whole canvas is updated and re-painted all the time. This makes me feel the whole canvas business is an ugly hack.
My question is: are there any other way to make mouse interactions in
canvas without the
setInterval() way? I want to paint the background once and only redraw the moving part while
onmousemove when the mouse is actually moving.
Any idea is appreciated. Thanks :)

4 stars (out of four)
Terrence Malick's "Days of Heaven"--a tale of two fugitive lovers, a child, a wealthy farmer and a doomed Texas wheat-field idyll in the early 1900s--is one of the legendary '70s American films. Often regarded as a miracle of cinematography (shot by Nestor Almendros, for which he won an Oscar), it's far more, a movie that remains just as lyrical and powerful as it seemed in 1978. It's Malick's best--even though, of course, he doesn't work that often. (He's made only four films in a directorial career that started in 1973.) More than that, it's a picture that ranks high on any sensible list of the great American films.
"Days"--narrated with touching mix of hard-shell savvy and glowing innocence by the 12-year-old Linda (Linda Manz)--is the love-on-the-run story of Linda's older brother Bill (Richard Gere, in a part intended for John Travolta) and his lover, Abby (Brooke Adams), who, to help him elude the law, poses as Bill's other sister. After Bill kills his Chicago steel-mill foreman in a fight, the three flee the North for Texas. There they join a band of migrant workers on the huge farm of a young, rich farmer who may be dying and who remains nameless. The farmer is played, in the role that started his movie star career, by playwright Sam Shepard.
What follows is a classic triangle. The farmer falls for Abby, marries her (with Bill's cynical encouragement, since he knows of the fatal illness). Then Abby falls in love with her husband. Bill leaves, then returns, and a tragedy ensues. All this is told, with a casual yarn-spinning air, by Linda, whose streetwise child's voice gives the movie a mixed air of timelessness and great specificity, knowingness and naivete.
That tone contrasts sharply with the incredible, rapturous images of the Texas Panhandle (actually Canadian) farm and wheat fields, filmed by Malick, Almendros and "additional" cinematographer Haskell Wexler. The cinematography, as well as the wistful, melancholy score by Ennio Morricone, helped make "Days" one of the great American romantic films. The images of threshers and wheat and the dying light before sunset suggest a world of untapped beauty and promise. The story breathes with eternal tragedy and unavoidable fate. Malick entered the pantheon of American filmmakers with "Days of Heaven" and his 1973 debut picture "Badlands," and he's remained there. This great movie, re-released in a new 35 mm print, is perhaps the most typical example of a `70s American art film--daring, romantic, rebellious but also filled with longing for the beauty of the past.
'Days of Heaven'
Opens Friday at the Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Ave.MPAA rating: PG.

Movie Preview: Sicko
Along with the animated rat chefs and dying ladies with stories to tell this Friday, there is Michael Moore and his latest documentary, Sicko, in wide release. The film explores health insurance in the U.S. and how it compares to that of other countries.
Back at Cannes the film got a ton of attention — and a surprising amount of praise. Assuming that critics and audiences alike had tapped out on Michael Moore, it piqued my curiosity when I saw the reviews roll in calling Sicko an indication of a steadier, wiser and more mature Moore. If you haven't seen the intriguing trailer yet, you can check it out if you

Almost-Instant Hot Kimchi
More ∨
"The first time I had kimchi was when I arrived in New York City in 1986," says Jean-Georges Vongerichten. "I was like, Oh my God, what is this? It's fermented like the sauerkraut from Alsace, where I'm from, but the flavor is different. I didn't have a recipe, so instead of fermenting, I used vinegar for the sourness." Like sauerkraut, he serves this kimchi hot.
