Today I rebuilt my work laptop for the first time in about 15 months. It was actually running fairly well in most regards, but I'm currently in a gap between projects so I thought it was a good time to clean out all the crap that one accumulates on a machine that's used every day.
I thought it would be interesting to chronicle the list of things I installed in the first few hours after the clean rebuild, and to find out how this compares with other people's critical software list.
I started with a Windows Vista Enterprise SP1 image that came with Office 2007 pre-installed by our IT department. On top of that, here's what I've added today:
And here's what I'm absolutely not going to install, no matter how many times other installers try to trick me into doing so:
BTW, if any of you ever meet a developer from any software company who believes it's acceptable to install icons onto my desktop or QuickLaunch bar without asking permission first, please give them a kick up the arse from me.
Instead of Adobe I install Foxit Reader for my pdf needs. No update crap as services which adobe wants to install
Recedtly I've been uding Foxit's PDF reader so I'd change Adobe Reader to Foxit Reader. For me it's much lighter weight and feels less buggy to me.
I've got a new system, which makes life easier:
1 - Install Ultimate, perform all updates: create back-up image.
2 - Install essential software, create back-up image.
Now I can re-image a machine exactly like I love within 30 minutes.
Additional apps I use:
Beyond Compare
SQL Server Manager Studio
Photoshop CS3
Pixie (natty software)
FireFox (for testing)
Office 2007
Amen about the icons on the desktop and the QuickLaunch bar! Who do these clowns think they are cluttering up my system with icons all over the place?
My list of musts:
1. Beyond Compare
2. Paint.Net
3. IrfanView
4. KeePass
5. Daemon Tools Lite
6. Maxthon
7. Debugging Tools for Windows

"Loved this card! The colors popped and the paper quality was great! We looked at other companies but the paper quality was bad. This was a little pricey but well worth it. We ordered by Sunday and got our cards by Wednesday. It was awesome."
"This year I chose an OLD photograph taken at our wedding 38 years ago. The card I selected was perfect for the photo, which itself was not that sharp an image. For the first time I got a lot of responses back complimenting the card. It was a big success."
"All of our friends and family commented on how great our card was this year. The combination of our carefully selected photos, modern layout and silver color scheme made for a successful design."
"Great choice of colors for the prints we added. The paper quality was excellent. Everyone has been raving about the design of the card."
"This was a fun card for us. We used photos of the kids, pets, selves, Winter and Summer shots to showcase what we did all year as a family. I really appreciated the card stock as last years holiday card (ordered elsewhere) was much more of a photograph in weight and feel than this card. Very happy to be back @ TinyPrints this year. Exceeded my expectations."

The Foxglove Spires Open Garden surrounds a 100 year old farm cottage.
Some other areas of interest which I didn't mention in my previous tip, was the pond at the bottom of the garden with the Irises in bloom, there was an area where you could sit and enjoy the peace, quiet and beauty.
It was not in flower when I visited, what a shame because it would have been magnificent! What I am talking about, is a 55metre long arbour of espaliered Manchurian pears which is a spectacular feature of the garden. Red and yellow leaves in autumn, and Blossom in spring, I was just a little too late.
The crabapple walkway, also wasn't in bloom, these are one of my favorite, under - rated Trees.
A little earlier, and the bluebells and daffodils would have filled the garden with shades of blue & yellow.
I visited in October, so you really need to be here perhaps a month earlier to see the bulbs and the fruit trees in blossom.
It was a lovely garden as it was!
A nice drive we did from Narooma, was to Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba.
These two pretty little towns are restored and well maintained period villages that are protected by the National Trust.
Set against the magnificent backdrop of Gulaga / Mt. Dromedary, Central Tilba has quite a good range of shops to browse around. There are antiques, traditional crafts and woodworks to unique modern jewellery, contemporary art, there was something of interest for both of us to look at.
There are also a variety of eating options with the Tilba Bakery, The Tilba Teapot, and The Dromedary Hotel is the local pub where you can enjoy a beer or a meal.
Bates Emporium is an old fashioned general store which offers groceries, petrol, post office and the renown Mrs Jamieson's Tilba Fudge. I didn't get to try any!
I did try an ice cream at the old fashioned lolly shop which had a shop full of lollies in jars. A good choice of flavours, and I settled on Rum & Raisin, which was yummy!
It is signposted from the Princes Highway.

- Road Trip
Got a sweet tooth? This lolly shop will make your mouth water!
The Tilba Sweet Spot is a Lolly shop like in the early days of Australia.
There were literally jars, jars, and more jars of all those old fashioned lollies. I guess what comes to mind are the boiled lollies and Humbugs, and yes, they had them here. There was a HUGE ASSORTMENT here. Musk sticks, lime sherberts, giant jaffas and boiled sweets of every flavour, colour and stripe imaginable, and much, much more, and chocolates and ice cream as well, this truly is a "sweet tooths paradise!"
It is advertised as having a ................." reputation for being the shop where lolly-lovers of all ages can find both that old fashioned classic that they haven't seen for years but also something new that they didn't even realise was being made."
But beside the old timers there is also a new range of exciting sweet adventures - new flavours, new combinations, new takes on old classics.
LOCATION...Main street, Central Tilba
Open every day 10.00am - 4.30pm
- Food and Dining
This is the name of an open garden at the town of Tilba Tilba. It is quite a well known one, having been on Television several times. It is open all year round.
A large garden, which was originally three and a half acres of farmland, is now a wonderful woodland garden with rambling walks, archways, hedges and masses of flowers.
Scattered around the gardens were make out ruins, with Ivy growing over them, lots of statues and Pots, every corner brought a new discovery in this part of the garden.
At the rear, was the Rose garden, gorgeous with them in full bloom. A vegetable garden was featured, complete with a Hen House, and lemon Trees. I noticed quite a bit of bird life in the garden.
This garden was a little disappointing in some sections, it gave the impression it needed some work done to it. I did enjoy wandering around it though, as it was a garden that full of surprises.
Corkhill Drive, Tilba Tilba
Well, after walking up and down Central Tilba's street, and browsing the shops, I decided to climb the hill to the lookout.
The track leaves up a side road by the Dromedary Hotel. You open a gate, and walk through somebody's paddock to where a tank is, this is the lookout.
The view is good. You get a view over Central Tilba, and of the road and scenery of Tilba Tilba
It is not a long walk, and not that steep, and I was happy that I made the effort.
I am not completely sure as it wasn't signposted, but from what I have read, I think the outcrop in my 1st photo is........Najanuga (Little Dromedary)
- Hiking and Walking
The ABC Cheese Factory was established in 1891 and was the first Cheese Co-op in NSW.
It is the home of the the famous Tilba Club Cheese, which is still waxed by hand and is sold exclusively through the cheese factory shop in 250 or 500 gram portions.
Some of the Cheeses available are Tilba Gold, vintage, Cracked Pepper, Sun dried tomato, Summer Herb, Italienne, and Applebox Smoke.
The range of unusual and distinctive flavours available makes the cheese tastings a must. These are available at all times.
The factory also sells a range of Honey varieties, local produce, jams & preserves, ice cream, souvenirs and gifts.
It is also the place where you can try a cup of Byron bay coffee.
Open every day - except Christmas Day
9:00 am to 5:00 pm
- Food and Dining
After enjoy my walk around the beautiful gardens, then it was time to browse the Nursery. Called "The Spires Nursery" (next to Foxglove Spires Open Garden) it had a good array of interesting Plants.
Quite a few were more unusual than what you find in another Nursery. There were quite a few Cottage and perennial plants (including many featured in the gardens), Australian natives, including Grafted Grevilleas, Roses - old fashioned & modern species just to name a few. Prices were above what I normally would pay, so I didn't buy anything.
It is open from 9-5pm daily.
We did stop in at the "Love at 1st Bite Cafe", the price here for a coffee was dearer than normal.
Free parking was available across the road.
LOCATION: Corkhill Drive, Tilba Tilba..........only a short drive from the Princes Highway.

Treating Low Libido
6 Ways to Take Control of Low Testosterone
When evaluating a loss of sexual desire, your health care provider will first look for physical causes. Any of a number of chronic medical conditions can impinge on desire (see "Health problems and sexuality"). So, too, can treatments for these conditions, including a wide variety of medications and procedures. The emotional effects of almost any chronic disease—such as frustration, depression, anger, fear of death, and altered body image—can indirectly lead to the loss of desire. In women, low libido may also stem from chronic vaginal, vulvar, or pelvic pain, which will typically cause discomfort with intercourse.
If there are no obvious physical reasons for low libido, your clinician will explore your sexual history, including your attitudes and feelings about sex and your relationship with your partner. One important distinction to be made is whether the problem is a lifelong lack of desire, a more recent loss of interest, or a problem that occurs only with a particular partner or in a certain situation. Sometimes, a history of physical or sexual abuse can manifest as low libido (or an aversion to sex) that may not show up until after the person has married or had children.
Treating the problem
If a medication is contributing to the problem, your clinician may suggest switching to a new drug or lowering your dose. While hormone changes are sometimes involved, often the problem stems from a mix of physiological, psychological, and relationship issues. If, after careful questioning and a physical exam, your clinician decides that the problem would improve with nonmedical treatment, many options are available, from stress reduction to sex therapy and relationship-building strategies.
Sex therapy. Low libido is the most common, challenging, and complex problem a sex therapist encounters. An early obstacle is that individuals with low libido often aren't eager to be treated—because they don't miss sex, because they don't feel hopeful about finding a solution, or because they worry that there is something seriously wrong with them or with the relationship. Most of the time they consent to therapy when they feel the problem is threatening their relationship.
Therapists often address this issue in a variety of ways. Usually, the problem is recast as a couples issue; therapy isn't a means to "cure" the person with the low sex drive. The therapist aims to reassure the low-desire partner that he or she won't be forced or even pressured by the therapist to have sex. The therapist will explore whether the individual may be missing out on a valuable part of life (and a way of being closer with a partner). The therapist also works to diminish any pent-up resentment on the part of the higher-drive partner by noting that he or she is making a choice to stay committed to the relationship by engaging in the search for a joint solution. The goal of treatment is to help create an atmosphere in the relationship that is less pressured, thereby allowing the low-desire partner to become more receptive to feeling and being sexual.
Another important step is to have the partner with the lower libido recognize, explore, and come to terms with any hidden feelings of anger, resentment, guilt, fear, or disgust that surround sex. If these feelings are present, the couple and the therapist explore the origins and impact of these emotions. This may take multiple sessions. The therapist may also gently challenge the couple's assumptions about how sex "should be." Sometimes sex can just be good enough. It doesn't always have to be spontaneous, creative, passionate, and satisfying for both members of the couple. The therapist will encourage the couple to examine the dynamics of the relationship that reinforce the discrepancy in desire. For example, the bedroom may be a venue for acting out power struggles, with the person who otherwise feels ineffectual in the relationship unconsciously avoiding sex as a means of control.

Whenever possible, we encourage the use of public transportation. Parking on Nob Hill is fairly scarce. If you need to drive, consider parking somewhere along the #1 California MUNI bus line. It is one the city's most frequent, dependable lines and has very convenient stops near the Cathedral both inbound and outbound.
The California Street Cable Car stops at California and Taylor which is at the foot of the Great Stairs.
The 1 California bus stops at Sacramento and Taylor (outbound) or Clay and Taylor, walk one block south (inbound).
The Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason Cable Cars stop at Powell and California, walk two blocks west (up the hill).
The 27 Bryant bus stops at Leavenworth and California (northbound), walk one block west (up the hlll) or Hyde and Sacramento (southbound), walk two blocks east and one block south.
All of the above lines connect with Market Street buses, streetcars, subways and BART. The two closest BART stations are Embarcadero and Powell. If you wish to walk from BART to the Cathedral, Powell is closer but please note that the Powell Street hill is quite steep. If you wish to take public transportation to the Cathedral, Embarcadero is a better choice since both the California Street Cable Car and the 1 California bus have stops nearby.
Daytime street parking near the Cathedral is limited to two hours, except on Sundays. There is no parking on the right (north) side of Sacramento Street on weekdays from 4 - 6 p.m. Please note that the tow away zone is strictly enforced.

Me and 12 friends will be staying near Cheltenham for my friends hen weekend, the last weekend in May. On the Saturday night we intend to get taxi's into Cheltenham but none of us have been before, therefore please can someone advise of a good night club to end up at after we've done a bit of a pub/bar crawl?
We're all mid to late 20's and we're looking for a fun club playing a mix of music - chart stuff, cheese, dance, r&b etc. Maybe a club with a couple of different rooms? We plan on getting glammed up, no fancy dress.
Any bars that you can recommend as well?

20 Essential Doctor Who Stories For The "New to Who" – Part II: The Moffat Era ('10 – Present)
When we last left The Doctor, he was undergoing a tearful regeneration that would change him from a man who…
When we last left The Doctor, he was undergoing a tearful regeneration that would change him from a man who just happened to look like David Tennant to a man that just happened to look like Matt Smith. Almost that very instant, the tone of Doctor Who promised to shift. As the last moments of Russell T. Davies more dramatic "Lonely God" tenure were playing out, the start of Steven Moffat's "Nutty Funster with A Past" began. Right from his first moment of existence, The Eleventh Doctor was setting us up for the man we'd come to know and love over the past couple of years. He would still have dour and serious moments and he'd still show us his darker edges from time to time. But indeed, a rediscovered sense of fun and adventure took place when Eleven began. Here now are the ten essential Doctor Who stories during the beginning of Steven Moffat's reign.
11. The Eleventh Hour (Series 5, Episode 1 – 2010)
Enter The Eleventh Doctor. Newly regenerated, he manages to crash land in the sleepy little town of Leadworth; more specifically, in the backyard of one Amelia Jessica Pond. Amelia is special as she seems to have a bit of a problem…a special sort of problem that someone like The Doctor could only solve. This episode probably has the most fun introduction to a Companion that the modern era has ever witnessed thus far, especially when it explores how poor Amy (nee Amelia) had to learn to accept that The Doctor didn't exist, only to have him come back years later and say "Sorry I'm late". The dynamic that would last throughout their pairing is firmly established, though the character/rapport of Rory would take a little more time to root into the show's mythos.
12. The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone (Series 5, Episodes 4 & 5 – 2010)
It didn't take long for Steven Moffat to revisit old friends, and old foes, that he'd introduced us to during the Russell T. Davies era. The Wreck of the Byzantium had been alluded to in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Damned, and we finally got to see just what Professor River Song was referring to as she checked her spoilerific journal the first time we met her. Also along for the ride are everyone's favorite stone cold killers, the Weeping Angels, as they were the reason the good Professor was even on the ship in question to begin with. This story not only pushes two key pieces of Moffat's mythology along the board, it also teases Series 5's big "Crack in the Wall" mystery.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A 14-year-old boy charged with intentionally setting a house fire that killed his mother is scheduled to appear before a judge.
Shelby County juvenile court officials say the teen is scheduled to have a detention hearing Tuesday afternoon.
The teen was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated arson after a fire that killed his mother on Friday.
Investigators say they questioned the teen after the fire at a home outside Memphis. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office say he acknowledged setting the fire after an earlier disagreement with his mother.
The sheriff's office did not identify the teen.
Officials say the teen missed a court appearance on Monday because he was in the hospital.

Review: Shadowfell by Juliet Marillier17
September 7, 2012 by Heidi
Title: Shadowfell [Amazon|Goodreads]
Author: Juliet Marillier [Website|Facebook]
Standing: 1st book in a new trilogy.
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy
Published: September 11th, 2012 by Knopf Books for Young Readers
Format: Hardcover; 416 pages
Source: ARC from publisher via Edelweiss
Challenge: MG/YA Fantasy Challenge
Sixteen-year-old Neryn is alone in the land of Alban, where the oppressive king has ordered anyone with magical strengths captured and brought before him. Eager to hide her own canny skill—a uniquely powerful ability to communicate with the fairy-like Good Folk—Neryn sets out for the legendary Shadowfell, a home and training ground for a secret rebel group determined to overthrow the evil King Keldec.
During her dangerous journey, she receives aid from the Good Folk, who tell her she must pass a series of tests in order to recognize her full potential. She also finds help from a handsome young man, Flint, who rescues her from certain death—but whose motives in doing so remain unclear. Neryn struggles to trust her only allies. They both hint that she alone may be the key to Alban's release from Keldec's rule.
Homeless, unsure of who to trust, and trapped in an empire determined to crush her, Neryn must make it to Shadowfell not only to save herself, but to save Alban.
Before I start my impending review of Shadowfell, and while I have the attention of all of you once and future Marillier fans, I wanted to mention an event that's happening next week: Holly, The Book Harbinger, will be hosting Seven Days for Sevenwaters. For all of you waiting most
impatiently for Flame of Sevenwaters to release this fall, now's the time to celebrate all things Sevenwaters! Holly will be hosting a variety of guest posts about the series, including a post from Juliet Marillier herself. She'll also be including a daily round up for Sevenwaters related posts around the blogosphere, so write a discussion post, share your love for this series, or finally write that review and share it with all of us! Even if you have yet to read Sevenwaters, I hope you'll attend and let us convince you must do so asap.
Shadowfell was my first foray into Juliet Marillier's YA books, and I have to admit I was nervous. I knew going in that there was no way it could level up to the breathtaking wonder that is her Sevenwaters series, and I knew it would suffer from comparison as I read Son of the Shadows at the same time. The unfortunate reality is, both these fears were justified, or maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. I enjoyed Shadowfell a great deal, but still couldn't help but feel a wee bit disappointed–I had to keep reminding myself that if this wasn't a Marillier book, I'd probably be rating it higher (alas, show me great and I will hold you to higher standards). Still, Shadowfell is the promising start to a new trilogy in a fantasy world that touches on what we know of Celtic mythology but twists it to something new and different. It is simultaneously that old school fantasy comfort read for fans of the genre everywhere and fresh new use of Marillier's deft hand with romance and magic.
Where Shadowfell was weakest, for me, was in its heroine. Neryn wasn't the strong willed female lead I was expecting or looking for. Despite being of age with her Sevenwaters counterparts, Neryn shows clearly that this is indeed a YA novel in her youth and naivety. Smacking of 'chosen one', we spend the majority of Shadowfell following Neryn's journey to the place that shares the novel's name as she faces the question of whether or not she has been born with a special gift that has the potential to set her people free. Living in the kingdom under a harsh ruler, Neryn has never known a life of freedom or without fear. She grew up with the knowledge that it is not safe to speak one's mind, or to acknowledge her canny abilities to see and communicate with the Good Folk. I was shocked at how utterly sheltered Neryn's life had been, despite the horrible things she had born witness to. I had a difficult time making sense of her when she was so desperate for hope, but unwilling to trust, or even to talk about things that seemed obvious to me. Neryn is meek, with brief flashes of backbone, and it took her a good 2/3 of the book to gain my confidence. She did, however, make an excellent contrast for the other leading character who I adored, Flint.
Neryn is young, and as such she sees the world in black and white, completely oblivious to the many shades of grey that seep into our perceptions as we grow older. Flint, however, is those shades of grey. I love this character and his existence on the very precipice of right and wrong, good and evil, love and hate. Flint and Neryn provide the perfect balance for one another, and it was with this realization that I began to accept Neryn a bit more. My comments on Flint will remain brief (though I could go on and on) so as not to spoil the story, but suffice it to say that he is the reason I kept coming back to this book, and it was the portions with him in it that for me flowed best.
Shadowfell is clearly the groundwork for a story, rather than a complete story in and of itself. It is that set-up novel leading to a very wrote path that is predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. At times it felt as if the world were being constructed around me as I went, as opposed to me being plopped down in a world that was already fully formed, but that made it no less intriguing. I loved the folklore that Marillier played with, indeed, the novel really took off for me when Neryn finally falls into this world and embraces it fully.
Shadowfell is very clearly a young adult focused novel, rather than one of those line-blurring crossovers I so adore, but as such it was very strong. As expected, I held my breath, I hoped, I despaired, and I replayed favorite scenes in my head for days after I'd finished. If I didn't fall head over heels for Neryn's tale, it's also not one I'll be turning my back on anytime soon. Neryn, her world, and her story only have room to grow, and left me with the promise to do so. If you enjoy Marillier or fantasy with enchanting mythology, captivating characterizations, and companions you will adore, look no further than Shadowfell.
Likelihood that I'll be back for more: I didn't completely love Shadowfell, but I recognize that the story is really picking up and starting to go somewhere I hope I'll enjoy. I read Shadowfell as a read along with bookish friend, Keertana, which may have led to some overanalyzing, but also allowed us to gush all spoilery to one another the whole way through. Sign me up for more of that! I will certainly be back to give Raven Flight a go in 2013.
Recommended for: Readers who enjoy dystopias or fantasies with hard handed rulers such as Throne of Glass or Graceling, the political structures here are similar. Any Marillier fan, readers who like old school fantasy, slow burn romance, and a good rebellion.
Get a second opinion:
See Michelle Read – "As soon as I put down this book I immediately flipped back to the beginning without hesitation, set on rereading the entire thing again right then and there."
Book Harbinger – "I'm sorry if I ever doubted your ability to write young adult novels, Ms. Marillier. More, please."
Books Take You Places – " a beautiful beginning to another trilogy that I am sure to love."

In his last post, Ryan introduced the story of Silver King John Mackay, and how he was a big winner in Nevada silver strikes in the 1860s and 70s. With success in the Comstock Lode, Mackay and his partners battled (business-wise, that is!) with other mines and other capitalists who would be Silver Kings. To stave off the Bank of California, Mackay and others established the Nevada Bank. (CR)
A decade after pushing Bank of California to the brink, the Nevada Bank itself faced collapse. Mackay had bought out his partners' interest in the bank in November, 1884, while Flood stayed on as President.
Unfortunately, in 1887 a rogue Vice President secretly extended massive loans to a group of brokers who were attempting to corner the wheat market. In the 19th century, California was a major wheat producer, and Nevada Bank owned a large grain warehouse where farmers could get loans with wheat as security.
Although Flood was in San Francisco, the first warning signs were seen by Mackay in London when Nevada Bank's correspondent account in London was overdrawn by $500,000. By the time Mackay got to San Francisco, he found less than $1,000 in cash left in the bank.
While Mackay could have let Nevada Bank fail and retain his personal fortune, he drew on personal lines of credit to support the institution. He reorganized the institution and in 1890 brought in famed Los Angeles banker Isaias W. Hellman to increase the level of banking expertise. The bank converted to a national charter at the end of 1897 and received charter number 5105.
After Mackay's death in 1902, the Nevada National Bank would merge with Wells Fargo & Co's Bank to form the Wells Fargo Nevada National Bank, retaining the NNB's headquarters at Pine and Montgomery Streets.
Once I had read Makley's biography of Mackay, I was able to put together the pieces of a silver puzzle of documents I acquired earlier this year.
The first document that I was looking to put together in the puzzle is a cover sent by Wells Fargo Express from San Francisco to John Mackay in Virginia (City), Nevada. It is canceled May 7 with a pencil docket notation of "Private acct up to May 1, 1878."
Imagine the information that this envelope contained, transmitted to one of the wealthiest men on the West Coast just after the Comstock mines had peaked in production! Notice the wax seal on the reverse—whose crest is this? Could it be Flood's or McLane's, the two men in charge of the Nevada Bank at the time? The motto is Praestat Opes Sapientia: "Wisdom Surpasses Wealth."
The second document is a cover sent via Wells Fargo Express from the Nevada Bank agency in Virginia City (the local office) to the head office in San Francisco, with a cancellation of April 25, 1887. What did this envelope contain? Maybe transfer of funds to San Francisco as wheat lending began to expand, and ultimately prove catastrophic?
The third document is a cover sent via Wells Fargo Express in San Francisco to the Nevada Warehouse and Dock Co., with four cents postage due. Did this contain loan documents as part of the failed attempt in 1887 to corner the wheat market?
While some people may view these documents as simply old envelopes, the enjoyment I derive from the research is touching documents that directly connect with the Nevada Bank, the Silver Kings and the Big Bonanza!

Daily use of mobile banking in Korea up 7.1% in 3rd quarter
The daily use of mobile banking in Korea rose 7.1 percent in the third quarter from three months earlier, aided by the growing popularity of smartphones, the central bank said Tuesday.
Transactions based on mobile banking or banking services accessed via wireless handsets were valued at 973.4 billion won (US$893 million) per day in the July-September period, compared with 908.9 billion won from the second quarter, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK).
The value of mobile banking via smartphones gained 12.8 percent on-quarter to 891.3 billion won, according to the bank.
Mobile banking via smartphones, a service that was introduced in December 2009, showed sustained growth on the back of the devices' popularity.
Mobile banking accounted for 29.1 percent out of total Internet banking use, which stood at an average of 45.7 million per day.
Meanwhile, the value of online banking transactions reached 33.2 trillion won per day in the third quarter, up 0.2 percent from three months earlier, the bank added.
The data is based on users checking financial records, transferring funds or taking out loans via the Internet.
The number of Internet banking subscribers registered with the 19 local financial firms rose 2.5 percent on-quarter to 84.1 million as of end-September. The data is an aggregated tally, including the use of multiple banks for online banking services.
The majority of online banking transactions were conducted via computers, but the weight of mobile banking has been on the rise.
Nearly nine out of 10 households in Korea have access to cheap broadband Internet. The number of smartphone users reaches roughly 30 million, making up around 60 percent out of the total population. (Yonhap)

Nicole, Keith and Sunday Rose ReuniteTrix
These three are just the cutest family. Keith Urban picked Nicole and daughter Sunday Rose up from the airport in Australia.
I bet they are happy to be spending the holidays together in the warm climate. I think Nicole's plane must have just beat the storm out of New York. You know, the storm that dumped all the snow along the eastern seaboard.

Feature extraction is the key step of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) target configuration recognition. A statistical model embedding the locality preserving property is presented to extract the maximum amount of desired information from the data, which is of crucial help to recognition. The noise, or error, of the SAR image samples is described by a Gaussian mixture distribution, and the locality preserving property is embedded into the statistical model to focus on the problem of configuration recognition. Along with the extraction of the information of interest through the use of the statistical model, also, the preservation of the local structure of the data set is achieved. Parameter estimation is implemented through the expectation-maximization algorithm. Experimental results on the Moving and Stationary Target Acquisition and Recognition data set validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. SAR target configuration recognition is realized with satisfactory accuracy.

Fibrocystic Breast Changes: Lumps That Are Normal
Do your breasts feel lumpy? It may be that you are experiencing fibrocystic breast changes—a benign condition that occurs in women of childbearing age. It sounds very unglamorous, but the human breast is no more than a lumpy gland made up of milk glands, ducts, and the tissues that separate and support them. Most breasts have at least one or two lumps; however, if your breast feels especially lumpy and uncomfortable, you are probably experiencing fibrocystic breast changes.
What Are Fibrocystic Changes?Fibrocystic changes are benign breast changes. The medical literature used to refer to them as fibrocystic disease . That was before fibrocystic changes were found to be no more a disease than menstruation or menopause . The breast tissue may feel dense with an irregular area of thicker tissue having a lumpy or ridge-like surface. You might also feel tiny bead-like masses scattered throughout the breasts. Your breasts may feel tender, swollen, and full with a dull, heavy pain. They may be sensitive to touch with a burning sensation. This discomfort is normal and does not indicate the presence of disease. For some women the pain is so severe that they cannot exercise or lie on their stomachs. Fibrocystic changes usually occur in both breasts, most often in the upper outer quadrant and the underside of the breast where most of the milk-producing glands are located.
Why Does This Happen?Fibrocystic changes are associated with hormonal shifts in estrogen and progesterone, which affect the breast tissue. During the menstrual cycle, the breasts swell as the milk glands and ducts enlarge and the breasts retain water. After menstruation, the breast swelling goes down and the breasts return to normal.Fibrocystic changes generally begin when women are in their 20s or 30s and usually last until menopause. For a small number of women, the condition worsens over the years, causing constant pain and lumpiness. In general, some of the lumps become permanent and may or may not shrink after menopause.
Breast CystsSome women with fibrocystic changes develop cysts in their breasts. A cyst is a fluid-filled sac that is usually smooth, firm, movable, and sometimes tender. The cyst will generally enlarge before the menstrual period and shrink afterwards. A large cyst may be round and feel like an eyeball when pressed with the eyelid closed. If you are concerned about a lump, your healthcare provider can determine whether or not it warrants further attention. Determining whether a lump is a cyst or something more serious can be determined by a simple office procedure known as fine needle aspiration . A fine-gauge needle is inserted into the lump and fluid is withdrawn. If the lump is a cyst, it will collapse once the fluid is removed. If there is concern about the lump, a needle biopsy or a surgical biopsy can be done.

Visions of Autumn Memories
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Being able to view the Alpine Tundra change to it's glowing golds is always something which I look forward to seeing, it is kind of hard to describe what it is one sees when standing here, but the best way to describe it is like rolling hills and valleys of very vivid golds...and I mean gold, not the kind of color one imagines with wheat fields, but something much more rich and deep in color.
It is kind of quiet up here, and your voice carries and echoes, but one thing is for sure, it sure is beautiful!
HDR processed from 3 shots, hope you all like it!
See more on my website www.jdebordphoto.com all work copyrighted 2009 John De Bord. Feel free to link to this shot on Facebook, Twitter, etc. I welcome the extra exposure!
More of my Autumn photography:
Great colors
Wonderful! Love the colours and textures!
Expertly captured!
Amazing Sky John
Great image my friend!
Lovely view! such deep colours and nice detail
I like the way the mountain pops from the sky.
I love the feeling being in a place like that gives me.
Once I realized that blurred vignette was intentional & not the Nyquil I just took taking effect, I liked it a lot. It's unique & really draws the eye to all the beautiful scenery.
Excellent composition...the depth of golden autumn color here is beautiful.
Aww K is going square!
lol I have been doing them for awhile now, I like to mess with cropping and composition at times, I always seem to do like 4 or 5 of the same shot in different styles
Such vivid colours and a great level of contrast. That little bit of blurring around the edges really serves to pull the viewer into the shot. Almost makes one feel like they're actually there, gazing off into the distance. Great work!
Wow! Gorgeous as always, John! The colors and textures are DE-LICIOUS!!!
Nice shot pal. Lovely clouds
If only we could have the colors of autumn all year long!
Another rich landscape John very pleasing to view
gorgeous scenery as ever and an intruiging use of a blurred vignette
That's beautiful!
Reminds me of Scotland somewhat Very nice small hill. I particularly like the array of autumn colours.
The whole scenario seems to be on a constant random movement that would never end. Mohter nature I guess.
Simply beautiful John!!!
What a wonderful place.

Cordless Blinds, Shades & Window Treatments
- The safest bet in blinds and shades
- Child and pet friendly without cords
- Clean, elegant look without cord clutter
- Gentle push/pull lift from bottom rail
- Simple, convenient operation
Cordless blinds and shades offer a convenient and safe option now available on most styles of window treatments. Instead of a traditional lift cord, the shade is operated with a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail to position the shade at any height. With no dangling cords, shades are safer for children and pets and have a clean, uncluttered look. Simply select the cordless option when customizing your shade and be sure you can reach the window at the maximum height you would raise the shade - if not, consider a motorized window treatment.

An interview with the stars of Joel & Ethan Coen's "Hail, Caesar!"
"It's My Turn" is one of those movies where you can almost keep a mental list of the Important Topics as they're ticked off in the dialogue. The people in this movie don't seem to be having conversations; they seem to be marching through current feminist issues.
The most dramatic, and inept, example of that comes in a protracted seduction scene involving Jill Clayburgh, as a math professor, and Michael Douglas, as the retired New York Yankee she may be falling in love with. They meet at a wedding dinner (her father and his mother are getting married), and feel attracted to each other. They walk, they talk, they spar with each other in the game room of their hotel, with Ping-Pong symbolizing their sexual duel.
Then they wind up in her hotel room, where they (a) flirt, (b) engage in foreplay, (c) are interrupted, and (d) fight, attributing to each other the sorts of motives you can't accuse someone of unless you really know them pretty well. Their mood-switches are so ungainly we can almost see them turning the pages of their screenplays.
None of this action seems to be flowing out of the instincts and impulses of two healthy adult people who want to make love with one another. Instead, this feels awkwardly like an "issue scene," in which the filmmakers are illustrating all sorts of abstract issues they've talked out beforehand. Issues can be illustrated by "real life" in the movies, all right, but they can't be substituted for it.
Clayburgh's dilemma, as the movie opens, is that she has that dreaded affliction of the 1980s, "too much space." That means too much emotional space, I guess; nobody ever has too much closet space. She lives in Chicago with a real estate developer (Charles Grodin), and they give one another so much freedom they hardly seem to share a commitment.
In New York, with Douglas, she finds more emotional intensity, I guess. He's married, with a family, but he challenges her to trust her emotions. Yet when she does, he doesn't trust his. The movie contains a ridiculous scene at LaGuardia, where he's flying to Akron and she's flying to Chicago and the issue becomes whether or not he has the courage to stop over in Toronto with her, while they determine how they really feel about one another.
The fact is, they hardly know how to spend time with one another. We never figure out what they feel in common. In one extended sequence that sticks out like a sore thumb, ex-ballplayer Douglas takes her out to Yankee Stadium, where he's being honored on Old-Timer's Day. And then, incredibly, the movie comes to a dead halt while we watch all the real Yankee old-timers being introduced, running out on the field, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, etc. They're all there: Mantle, Maris, Howard, Ford and the rest. But we never see them again in this movie.
In the advertising business, that technique is known as "borrowed interest." If you're afraid there's no intrinsic interest in the product you're trying to sell, you get a pretty girl or a famous athlete to pose with it. Well, it may work for Mr. Coffee, but it's no help at all to "It's My Turn."
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...
