Drop off old electronics this Saturday at e-waste drive
By: Kathy Maynard, Loomis News Correspondent
Local schools wants to swap your old electronic equipment for new technology for students. The fifth annual Loomis Basin Education Foundation E-waste Drive will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., this Saturday, April 21, at Loomis Grammar School on Taylor Road. "I think it's a great service to the community because all of us seem to have garages and closets full of old TVs, monitors, speakers, keyboards and other things that we'd like to get rid of that we can't put in the garbage can," said Steve Stahlberg, Education Foundation vice president, who is in charge of the event. "If people look around their houses, it's a good excuse to start their spring cleaning while at the same time helping to support our Loomis schools." Electronic devices that can be dropped off for recycling include monitors, TVs, desktop PCs, notebook PCs, VCRs, stereos, speakers, keyboards, mice, PDAs, cell phones, digital cameras, zip drives, phones, video game players, printers/copiers, scanners, fax machines, cords and cables, hair dryers and small kitchen appliances like blenders, mixers, and toasters. However, it's important to note the types of things we cannot take, said Stahlberg. Larger household appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, microwave ovens, washers and dryers, or hazardous material such as fluorescent light bulbs, car batteries and paint will not be accepted. "We work with California Electronic Asset Recovery (CEAR) Inc., which sorts and recycles all the components properly according to code and shreds all the hard drives so people don't need to be concerned about clearing them," said Carolyn Petree, Education Foundation president. "People feel better when they know where it is going, which is why I love working with CEAR." According to their website, cearinc.com, CEAR's recycling services prevent end-of-life equipment from being disposed of haphazardly and decrease the amount of outdated electronics making their way to landfills and ultimately into all of our natural resources, Abiding by the three Rs of environmental stewardship, "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle," CEAR separates electronic parts and components into "clean" (uncontaminated) material categories in order to revert them back into their respective raw materials. The collected material goes through a vigorous 5-step process including demanufacturing, removal of hazardous materials and components, complete shredding of media devices, separating residual materials and baling/shredding. After this process is complete, detailed reports are generated and recycling certificates are issued. "They weigh the items and pay us by the weight. In the past, we've filled up four to five bins and collected over 43,000 pounds of E-waste," said Petree. "Last year we earned nearly $4,000 to enhance the technology in our schools." Petree said Education Foundation volunteers are also working on grants to help fund technology for the schools. E-Waste Drive Who: Loomis Basin Education Foundation What: E-waste collection, benefiting Loomis Union School District schools When: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, April 21 Where: Loomis Grammar School parking lot Information: lbef.net

Push for transit funds
ORANGE- The Orange County Transportation Authority unanimously requested that the Board of Supervisors today place a measure onto the Nov. 7 ballot that would extend a half-cent sales tax by 30 years and collect $11.9 billion to widen freeways, boost Metrolink service and build other transportation programs.
All five supervisors are on the OCTA board.
"It is a straightforward measure: It says what you will get and what it will cost," county Supervisor Chris Norby said.
The supervisors are expected to give the half-cent tax extension the same name as its predecessor: Measure M.
The campaigning will begin immediately.
A press conference is scheduled for just after the supervisors' vote today for the Committee to Renew Measure M.
The group is made up of individuals who intend to send out campaign mailers and establish a speaker's bureau that will offer Measure M proponents to any groups wanting to hear them, said Jeff Flint, the committee's campaign manager.
Members of the committee are representatives of such organizations as the Orange County Business Council and the Automobile Club of Southern California.
Unlike governments, the committee can spend campaign money.
But politicians will be voicing support for the new Measure M.
As part of the process to get the new measure onto the ballot, all 34 city councils, and the county supervisors, voted to support the ballot measure. Collectively, elected leaders voted 167-4.
To avoid any appearance that it is campaigning, the OCTA will stop issuing signs that are erected near projects that the current Measure M paid for, although the ones already up don't have to come down.
And five OCTA buses - wrapped in vinyl and including the slogan "Your half-cent goes a long way" - are being stripped clean of their artwork.
Larry Gilbert, 68, a Mission Viejo community activist, said Orange County residents are overtaxed and not enough progress has been made under the current Measure M; it will end up raising a projected $4.2 billion by the time it expires in 2010.
"Let's let this (current measure) run out and see what happens," Gilbert said.
In 1990 the current Measure M needed only a simple majority and 54 percent of the voters approved it.
If voters do approve the measure in November, the OCTA could actually begin construction on projects by 2008 by financing them based on future tax collections.
Under the new Measure M, some of the biggest projects would be:
•Nearly $1.5 billion would be spent to add lanes and fix interchanges along the Riverside (91) Freeway and to build, if eventually approved, an elevated highway.
•$1.2 billion would be spent for improvements along the Santa Ana and San Diego freeways.

Coral reefs provide important services to millions if not billions of people across the world. They are one of the most biologically rich and economically valuable ecosystems on Earth. Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by pollution, habitat loss, diseases, bleaching, and the effects of global climate change. There has been a rapid decline of these reefs recently and this could have significant social, economic, and environmental consequences in the United States.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) helps coastal communities and others to better understand and manage coral reef ecosystems.

When the members of No Doubt got together again to make new music, something unexpected came with them: a bit of doubt.
It had been 11 years since they'd put out "Rock Steady" and their priorities had changed. Each of the four had gotten married and had kids, producing eight babies between them. Music was no longer the most important thing in their lives.
Could they still make it work?
"That's pretty complicated stuff when you start to really look at it," 42-year-old lead singer and lyricist Gwen Stefani says. "You're playing this role your whole life — the singer of No Doubt — totally committed to this in the greatest kind of way, and then all of a sudden, you're saying, 'Actually, you guys cannot be No. 1 anymore or else this is not going to work.' "
The band has somehow made it work. They return this month with their first studio CD in more than a decade — "Push and Shove," which blends their signature mix of ska and British New Wave with lyrics that reveal some anguish at their new lives.
"Here we go again/Are you insane?" Stefani sings in first single "Settle Down." "Don't get me started/I'm trying to get a hold on this/Get in line and settle down."
"I think a lot of the record I'm writing about being overwhelmed by trying to do all these things at one time," Stefani says.
"You just never know when you become a mom what it's really going to be like. It's so different than you think."
In a recent interview, the bandmates reveal few outward signs that it's been 26 years since No Doubt formed. They all still wear eyeliner, have their hair bleached or in a mohawk — or both — and are stick-figure thin. Stefani herself seems to have defied time and can rock a midriff-baring top better than ever.
"Sometimes in my mind I still think I'm 16 onstage and my body tells me that I'm not 16 anymore," says Tony Kanal, the 42-year-old bassist, laughing. "In our minds maybe we think we're younger than we actually are."

So I've decided to never buy another WD Passport external USB drive, and here's why.
So my Passport decided to not mount anymore. Why is this? I've never dropped the disk and it's been reliable for almost 2 years now. It turns out that somehow or another the PCB decided to crap out on me for no reason. Normally this wouldn't be a problem as I could pop off the USB connector from the PCB and just use the SATA/IDE adapter and access the information, save it to one of my two systems, and take the drive out to the range and shoot it. The problem is as such: those two-legged twonks over at Western Digital decided to integrate the USB connector into the PCB and so I now have a brick that lights up and spins but doesn't mount on... more »

And this would be one of the reasons I admire +Linus Torvalds:
At the LinuxCon meeting in New Orleans, Linus Torvalds was asked if he had ever been approached by the US government to insert a backdoor into the Linux kernel. Here's his characteristic answer:
Torvalds responded "no" while shaking his head "yes," as the audience broke into spontaneous laughter.
Obviously, it's hard to tell from that whether he really meant "yes" or "no". But the question does touch on an important issue: whether open source might be less vulnerable than traditional applications to tampering by the NSA or other intelligence organizations. That's plausible, because by definition free software's code is always available for inspection; the idea is that even if backdoors are somehow introduced, they will be spotted by people looking over the... more »

Kmymoney; KmyMoney 4.6.2 KDE 4.8.4
I have used KmyMoney for a number of years. There follows below details of some of its features or not features that annoy me.
The principle bones of contention are really focussed on Investments, the normal day to day ledger entries are fine.
First a little bit about me and what I am trying to do. 75 years old – let that be an awful warning.
Virtually computer illiterate, but trying – that is endeavouring as opposed to annoying!
Diligently records all transactions. This, broadly speaking, involves recording the dissipation of two pensions and managing a portfolio of Shares quoted on the London Stock Exchange from which the dividends enhance my pensions
Why does Kmymoney apparently ignore the normal 'base units' of the Stock Exchange?
If I go to the London Stock Market and buy 391 shares at 1393.05p an entry in the Shares Ledger will say 3.91 shares at £1,393.05. Why can it not tell the truth?
Some accounts are empty - no money but have a history of entries.
The handbook implies that until you delete the entries you cannot close the account – fair comment.
I do not want to close the account I want to keep its records and put it into an 'archive' from which I may retreive it.
I closed a cheque account in 2005, changed my bank, its closing entry shows a zero balance but apparently I have to keep it or throw away the records.
I have an account called Shares. It is an Investment account.
This account records things like Buying and Selling Shares recording Dividends etc.
The column on the extreme right of the display is headed Balance – what is it a balance of?
One day I sold some shares the balance shows zero.
The next day I bought some shares the balance shown is the same number as the quantity purchased.
The following day I purchased some other shares and the balance shown is again the same as the number shown for quantity purchased.
The next week I received a dividend of £189.56 that was transferred directly to a savings account. The balance now shows £54.16.
A week later I receive a dividend of £320.21 that was transferred to a savings account. The balance now shows £17.79. What does it mean?
Stock Price Updates:
I have added 'On Line Price Update' to the task bar.
The icon for this operation looks as though it has come out from under a stone and it does not work.
The function works well from the 'Tools'.
The last feature which mystifies me are the files/backup files. The folder holding my backupfiles has 139Mb of records. The 'savedfile', from which the programme is started has only 206Kb.
In my 'backup' records some have names starting – backup, some have names kmymoney-2012-10-01.kmy, some have names like 'myname-2007-05-20-2007-11-01.kmy and others have names of the form " money or backup-2010-12-01-2011-01-31-2011-06-05-2011-06-07-2011-06-09-2011-06-13-2011-06-16-2011-08-18-2011-11-11.kmy".
Bear in mind that the folder has been in use for a number of years.
What form should your backupfolder have in both size and shape.
Surely if your backup record is valid you only need one of them – so why have I collected 139Mb of them?
Miser's Lament:
Each week I like to see how my shares are doing. It would be nice if somewhere the change in the value of the portfolio could be shown. The difference in value at the beginning and the end of the exercise. Say an entry on the Stock Update Prices form.

Concerning your UK investment, probably you did not properly define the quote multiplier. Check this manual page, especially the last paragraph: http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/online-manual/details.investments.securities.html#details.investments.newinvestmentwizard
Concerning account closure, you probably want to delete the account, which indeed requires all entries to be removed. If I remember correctly, deleting an account is not that easy, because there may be dependencies in other accounts. You can also just close the account and select the setting "Don't show closed accounts" ("Filter" Tab in the General parameters of the KMyMoney configuraton menu).
The "Balance" column in an investment account shows the number of shares you currently hold taking into account the current transaction. The balance corresponding to the last transaction for a share is the same number you will see in the Accounts window under that account. For your example, on the first day you must have sold all your shares, because the balance became zero. The payment of a dividend does not change the balance, unless the dividend is being reinvested. Do not confound with the associated brokerage account. There, the balance is the amount of cash, and a dividend payment will increase the balance.
Concerning the toolbar, I agree the Online Price Update does not work. I am using "Update Stock and Currency Prices" instead. The default icon is an empty document with the bottom right corner folded. Rather boring indeed, but the icon does work.
I cannot comment on the backups, as I am not using this feature. I do regular file system backups instead.
Concerning your "lament", you cannot graph the value of an investment account over time. At least I would not know how. I suppose it is too complex to compute. I use the "Investment Performance by Account" report all the time. It is extremely versatile to configure, and you can see the starting and ending balance for the period selected. You can also export the data and put it in a spreadsheet, which is a very handy feature. The only problem is that it is a bit slow, and may loop indefinitely if you make a mistake when defining the start date, e.g. typing the year "12" instead of "2012".
I hope that helps.

If a penny share is bought for one penny what "degree of precision" should be applied so that the entry describing its purchase produces a coherent answer?
I find that in order to buy 27,010 shares for £1.11 it is necessary to enter 270.10 shares at a price of £111.00 to get the Shares Ledger to produce rational figures.
You confirm what I had feared regarding the closure of accounts. There does not appear to be a mechanism for archiving unused accounts without erasure. Sad.
A similar thing arises with Stocks and Shares you cannot archive share transactions and you finish up with a load of dead wood in your accounts.
This has been brought about because I have amalgamated my wife's account with mine in joint ownership so now we have three entries!
Your statement that after a share purchase the balance shown in the 'Shares' account is the number of shares you have purchased. After I have bought '270.1' shares it shows a balance of 270.10. The next entry is a dividend of £363.99 which changes the balance to 110.30 taken to the savings account - what does that mean?
We look forward to the next issue of the software rectifying the icons in the toolbar hiding their lights under bushels!
The monster file I am referring to is the accumulated 'Back Ups' that I have accumulated.
All that the lamenting miser is seeking is when you press the Update button you are presented with a figure that shows the net change in the total after the update.
The reason for this monster whinge about this excellent programme is that after using it for some time it gets cluttered with historical rubbish and the only way that I can see to tidy it up is to start again.
Thank you for replying, eventually I will start again and I will let you know when I do so.

It's not the degree of precision. Since it does not look like anybody else has any idea, could you try to open a new database, create an investment and a savings account just like in your other database, and try to enter the transactions you are describing above? If you can reproduce the funny behavior on this small scale, it would be much easier to understand what is going on. If you cannot, then it is just a matter of finding out what is different between the two databases.

The handbook instruction for degree of precision states;
Fraction. The degree of precision to which your holdings are measured. For example, in the US most mutual funds measure holdings to three decimal places, so you would enter 1000 in this field. Stocks are often measured to only whole units, so you could enter 1 for a stock like this.
On the London Stock Exchange, based on penny stocks, I have elected to determine the precision to two decimal places.
Using this i entered;
Fraction 1/100 – London Stock Exchange based on pence to two decimal spaces.
London Stock Exchange not shown so used Eurex.
Price per Share.
Buy shares.
Murray International
3156 shares
Price per share 906.18p
Expenses 80p
Total Expense shown £2,859,904.88
They did not cost me that much!
So where have I gone wrong - what degree of precision should I have used and why?

I think I understand your problem - a matter of reading entries on the forum over and over again. Am I right in the assumption that you want to manually enter transactions in the ledger view for investments and while doing this, use Pence as the currency unit? You enter 1309.24p and the application makes that 1309.24£ instead of the expected 13.0924£.
Hmm, one way out of this would be to enter exactly that: 13.0924£ for the price of a share. This would probably require to set the fraction to 1/10000.
In case you want to enter the penny based amount, you will have to setup British Pence as an additional currency, enter a fixed conversion rate to GBP of 100 and use British Penny as the trading currency for the investment. That would probably do. I have not tried it myself and don't have the time to do so.
Don't ask me about any side-effects this may cause in case you start using online updates or already do so.
The factor field I mentioned in my earlier post is only useful for online prices that are provided in Pennies when the trading currency is Pounds. It will not affect the behavior of the application when entering transactions manually. Sorry, if this might have caused any confusion.

I feel that you have come to the same decision that I have - it is not possible to make an entry which produces reasonable ledger entries using real world components like pennies. The programme has been in this state since its inception fiddle factors appear to be a necessity.
Thank you for trying.

Re: 8 years on. The outcome.
Thu Dec 06, 2012 11:21 am
I elected to rebuild the accounts entering what exists now. The old Backup Folder is now in archive.
So we have five accounts and a credit card.
One of the accounts, Shares, is built as an asset account and its principle use is the transfer of Dividend income to a Savings account and the purchase and sale of shares.
The Share Account had Shares Added. The precision used was 1:1 and for shares in the London Stock Market this produced coherent entries:
2913 shares @ £6.5987 has a value of £19,222.01.
Off line updates using Yahoo.com demanded a factor of 0.01 to get the right answer.
Off line updates from the London Stock Exchange from ft.com did not work.
As far as I can yet establish the size of the backup folder is because you add a file whenever you backup. 300 backups a year equals 300 files.
On the principle that the last one added is a fair copy perhaps it would be better called a history file.
What changes would I like to see?
In the Share account the boxes in which you enter Activity(Buy, Sell, Dividends etc) is far too large.
All the box sizes should be commensurate with the size of the entry.
I do not think that "Fraction. The degree of precision to which your holdings are measured." is quite the right wording. I certainly misconstrued it. I think that it is probable that putting the details of the actual transaction will usually work - that is paid 'x' for 'y' shares total cost 'z' £s or $s or whatever.
And that is about it we are all set for another 10years. Thanks to all who have subscribed to the programme and the Forum,

Outer Banks, North Carolina
With outdoor activities, historic sites, and soft sandy beaches, the Outer Banks is a popular vacation spot among families, couples, and seniors. Our readers believe its claim to fame is its staying power, and visit it time and again.
Reader Lorri Robey said, "The very best beach in the world is in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The town specifically is Kill Devil Hills. Just hearing the name brings back the best memories. We have been vacationing here every August for more than twenty years. Family and friends relaxing and having fun on the warm sunny sand, playing beach games; staying out on the beach until sunset, laughing, talking and making more memories. Just the thought can warm up a winter's day with anticipation of the summer to come. The water is warm, the waves are big and so much fun to ride. The breeze is always blowing with kites flying, sea grass on the dunes swaying. The days are perfect for strolling the beach, or playing with friends, or doing nothing at all, just simply taking a nap with the sounds of the surf rolling as you drift off to sleep. This truly is our paradise!"
Reader kd33 added, "My favorite beach to go to is Cape Hatteras National Seashore, North Carolina. There are miles and miles of private white sandy beaches—great dolphin watching and wind sailing."

Hah! I love it! President Obama does what every pundit has been clamoring for in Washington, he compromises, and they jump all over his case. They're calling him weak and ineffectual. They're asking if he's lost it. This is why I don't watch that evening chatter crap.
Obama is probably the smartest president yet, right up there with, well, I don't know who he's up there with. I was going to say John F. Kennedy, but as I think about it, maybe JFK wasn't that smart. Obama is a pragmatist at heart. I realized that when he dropped the single payer issue as part of health insurance reform. But, when he and the Democraps had sufficient power, he pushed hard for programs he thought were the most important. Now that he's lost the power, or much of it, he'll have to cut some deals. And think about it, there's no reason why each state can't raise income tax rates on the wealthy.
It's been so long since we've had compromise in Washington that we've forgotten what it looks like. We've forgotten what happens with compromise. In a one-sided victory, the winning side feels victorious and the losing side feels bad. In a compromise, BOTH sides feel bad. A compromise isn't about winning, or losing. It's about getting something done. Anyone who's been married for more than six months knows that.
Now, Nancy Pelosi is balking and the Democraps are pissed at their leader. This is how extreme Washington has become over the years, but the game isn't over, and believe me, it's a game. There are still deals to be made. Is it too much to ask for ANOTHER compromise?
Apparently, the Liberals put their faith in Obama. I never put my faith in any president. I learned that a long time ago after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Yes, Kennedy stared down Russian Premier Kruschev after taking us to the brink of nuclear war, but the crisis was at its heart a political deal. Kennedy secretly promised Russia that he'd take American missiles out of Turkey if the Russkies took their missiles out of Cuba.
We weren't told that at the time. Instead, we were shaken to the core of our existence while these two leaders made a big show of their manliness to appease their "base," whatever the hell that means. I hope Obama is smarter than that. There's that word again. Hope.

Foods that appear sexy such as wine, steak, and chocolate can lead to a not-so-sexy experience in the bedroom.
Researchers are finding that foods heavy in saturated fats can negatively affect sexual performance.
"If the body is spending its time and energy cleaning itself constantly from these chemicals we put in it, it cannot begin to perform at its peak sexually," said Dr. Brian Clement, co-director of the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach.
Dr. Clement and his wife have outlined the do's and don'ts of romantic foods in their book "7 Keys to Lifelong Sexual Vitality."
"One third of young marrieds have fertility problems today and instead of seeing men with performance problems at age 70 the way we did a few decades ago, we now see it at age 40," Dr. Clement explained. "Fifty percent of 40-year-old men cannot perform."
His wife, Anna Maria Clement, PhD said that most of their patients at the institute ask about their sexual health.
So what foods should you avoid?
–Bacon, sausage, and other fatty meats-The high levels of cholesterol and saturated fats can cause build up in the penal and vaginal glands making it difficult to get aroused or reach an orgasm.
–Dairy-The same saturated fats found in fatty meats can be found in cheese leading to the issues above.

The Daily Agenda for Tuesday, December 18
Jim Burroway
December 18th, 2012
New York Court of Appeals Strikes Down Sodomy Law: 1980. New York became the twenty-fourth state in the nation to legalize homosexuality when the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, struck down the New York's consensual sodomy law. In a 5-2 decision, the court ruled that the law violated Constitutional rights to privacy and equal protection, noting that the law banned anal and oral sex only when those acts were performed by unmarried couples. Married couples were exempt under the law. Writing for the majority, Judge Hugh Jones wrote:
"We express no view as to any theological, moral or psychological evaluations of consensual sodomy. It is not the function of the Penal Law or our governmental policy to provide for the enforcement of moral or theological values. …the People have failed to demonstrate how government interference with the practice of personal choice in matters of intimate sexual behavior out of view of the public and with no commercial component will serve to advance the cause of public morality or do anything other than restrict individual conduct and impose a concept of private morality chosen by the State."
Jay Bakker: 1975. Having grown up in front of television cameras as the son of televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker at their Christian theme park home in Charlotte, North Carolina, he was deeply affected when his father's empire came crashing down. His father was sent to prison for financial irregularities and mail fraud, and his family was subsequently ostracized by fellow Evangelicals. For Jay, that led to a downward spiral of rebellion and drug abuse. But he eventually turned his life around and committed himself to a different vision of Christianity, one with God as a loving and accepting being rather than a God of judgment and wrath. In the process, he became a very different kind of minister, an "evangelical punk preacher," as he describes himself. Jay's experience of being outcast informed his own philosophy of inclusiveness which extends to LGBT people. In the 2006 documentary One Punk Under God, Jay is seen explaining why he supports same-sex marriage to a congregation that is not ready to accept that message:
In 2011, Jay Bakker released his book, Fall to Grace: A Revolution of God, Self and Society, in which he says that it's grace, not religion, that he believes in. "Religion can be a very dangerous thing," he told NPR. "It's a constant reminder to me to be careful." He co-founded Revolution Church in 1994, and preaches at the New York branch which meets every Sunday afternoon at a bar in Brooklyn.
If you know of something that belongs on the agenda, please send it here. Don't forget to include the basics: who, what, when, where, and URL (if available).
And feel free to consider this your open thread for the day. What's happening in your world?

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has signed an ordinance, believed to be the first of its kind for a municipality, that requires employers to offer employees at least one of three commuter benefit options.
Under the ordinance, which is intended to help reduce San Francisco's 2012 greenhouse-gas emissions by at least 20 percent from 1990 levels, employers will have a choice of three transit options:
• Set up a program under which employees can make pretax contributions to the federal legal limit of $115 a month to pay for mass transit expenses. That option is expected to be the one most likely to be offered by employers.
• Employers can directly pay for employees' transportation expenses, such as buying transit passes for employees.
• Employers can furnish transportation by setting up van pools for employees.
The ordinance, which will take effect in late December, will apply to employers with at least 20 employees and will have to be offered to employees who work an average of at least 10 hours per week.

/ Learn / Lighting Design
How to Light a High Ceiling
I remember way back when I was a sophomore in college, I had a pretty weird housing situation. Unlike most dorm rooms where you can barely get the door open without smashing into your desk, my dorm room was huge. Uncomfortably huge. I shared it with two other roommates, and yes, our furniture took up a lot of the space, but as I stared out from my lofted bed in the corner at the expansive walls and high ceiling, I couldn't help thinking it felt more like a gymnasium than a bedroom.
Eventually, I put up some posters and learned to ignore it. Then, I moved out.
Large rooms can be nice though, right? In them, you can spread out, or have parties – they're so versatile and the decor possibilities are seemingly endless. But when you're charged with making a huge space feel full and cozy - like a home - things can get real. Suddenly, the room is an ocean, and you are drowning.
While you can add furniture and wall hangings to your heart's content, there's nothing like a quality lighting scheme to fill a room without making it feel cluttered.
Warm light bouncing off the ceiling and walls gives you control over the entire area of your space. It will turn a huge cave of a room into a place that can envelop you.
Here's how:
Divide your room into three sections. Add lighting to all.
If you're at all into art, photography, or design, you've probably heard of the rule of thirds. Applied to a room, this rule has you split the wall into 3 equal, balanced parts - the top, the middle, and the bottom. These are your three different "design levels." Furniture or wall paneling can go at the bottom, art or other wall hangings in the middle, and the top remains as is.
By adding lights to each of these layers, the space will feel fuller and more cohesive, with focal points to diminish the room's large, intimidating feel. Add table lamps, step lights, or uplights to the bottom portion. Floor lamps, wall sconces, or low-hanging pendants can go in the middle. The top should have recessed cans, track lighting, or larger, higher hanging lights or fans.
Finally! You can make your hanging light dreams come true.
Speaking of hanging lights – you now have permission to go wild. In small rooms, with lower ceilings, you can have a few small pendants, or maybe a modest chandelier over a table. But in your room? Almost anything goes, because you have the space for it. How about an elegant set of lanterns or a giant, modern blown-glass pendant? Now is the time to make a statement.
Whatever lights you choose, they'll be able to fill up the top third of your room, and add a nice focal point so filling the rest of your space won't be quite so overwhelming. Don't be afraid to light your room with multiple chandeliers of different styles. This can help you subtly divide the room into different areas - dining, lounging, etc.
Be generous with recessed cans.
A high shadowy ceiling is a comfort to no one. That alone can turn an otherwise beautiful room into a spooky cavern. However, recessed lights can fix this. Their sleek, modern design allows them to provide great ambient lighting without making the ceiling look too cluttered. You can use them on their own, or to supplement the ambient light provided by a hanging fixture.
To get rid of those creepy shadows against the walls, install lights closer to the edge of your ceiling. To pull focus on a single point, place cans in a square or circle around the central fixture. You can install adjustable cans or even lights for sloped ceilings, so you can have just the right lighting scheme.
Track lighting is your new best friend.
Track lights are adjustable light fixtures mounted on an electrified metal track. When you install these lights on your ceiling (even your sloped ceiling – dream big!), you can turn them in almost any direction and adjust them whenever you feel the need.
You can aim the track heads in different directions for even illumination around the room, or to highlight certain areas or features. They can wash or graze you walls with light – another way to eliminate shadows and/or highlight texture.
Have you been blessed with serious architecture? Flaunt it, please!
Coves, cathedral ceilings, beams, high display shelves, arches and the like need the night kind of lighting to avoid that uncomfortable, imposing feeling. Accent fixtures like tape lights, rope lights, and puck lights in the right places will add texture and warmth to an otherwise bare-looking space.
No wonder my massive dorm room never felt comfortable. I had two fluorescent ceiling lights and a desk lamp. There were shadows in every corner! Oh, if I'd only known...

It's been eleven years exactly after you and your beloved knight parted. You were young and foolish back then, but even till this day your feelings never faded. It was as if they were preserved as an artefact of your heart or something. You remembered everything about Gilbert. His silver hair, his piercing cherry coloured eyes, his contagious laugh, and that cute yellow bird he would always carry.
After he left you in the courtyard that day, your life changed. Your mother was more than happy to have you marry a prince of a nearby kingdom. Your father, however, knew how upset you were. After all, he was the one whom you confided your feelings with, as if he was a living diary.
Anyways, you're now queen of [kingdom name] and you are now married to some guy who you don't even like. You still remember that promise Gilbert made you all those years ago. He would never marry unless it was you who received the ring. Too bad you couldn't keep that promise to him. Surely, he would understand this was bound to happen eventually.
You were walking down in the lower parts of the kingdom when you saw it. You saw a cute yellow bird sitting under a letter. Being the curious one, you walked over to where the bird was. Somehow, you didn't startle the animal; you made it chirp happily as it flew on your shoulder. You picked the letter up and examined it. It was a simple white enveloped letter with your name scribbled in red ink on the front.
You carefully opened the note up and read it.
Dear Princess,
I doubt you're even a princess anymore, but whatever. I'm returning to [kingdom name] and I'm hoping to see you. I bet you grew up into an awesomely hot uh, never mind. I bet you don't even remember the awesome me. But, you should!
You couldn't make out what the rest said, since it looked like it was erased and scribbled out many times. You giggled at this, because you knew who it was from. Your knight returned to you, but was in all in vain?
That's where the bird was familiar! It was Gilbird. How could you forget him? Shrugging that off, you turned around to head back to the castle. It was too late for your fairy-tale. You had to grow up and let go. Right?
Wrong. You only turned around to see him. He's obviously grown since you both were ten. He's gotten to be quite a handsome man. His eyes were still as red as ever and his hair was the same colour as the clouds in the sky. "[Name] " He reached out for your hand, but froze when he saw the ring.
"You you got married " You sighed and lowered your head in shame. He had been faithful to his promise all these years. "I'm sorry, I had no " He laughed that odd laugh of his, which startled you.
"Oh, I understand but, now that I'm back you'll be mine, right?" You watched as Gilbird flew over to his owner as they both waited for your answer. Your Prussian knight from your childhood became uncharacteristically nervous as you remained silent.
"Well " You trailed your words off as you thought for a moment. You made the choice of leaving him once, and here he is. This was destinies way of saying You belong together
Who were you to go against your destiny? You smiled sadly, though you remembered you already had a husband. A husband, whom you had synthetic love for, but he was also the one everybody liked...
"Gil this is way easier said than done, especially now. I'm married and the queen I can't "
"No, [Name] I'm done waiting. I I can't believe the awesome me is going to admit this, but I love you." It was as if he knew how to make you feel guilty about this all. You really loved him, too, no matter how wrong it is.
"Gilbert," You pulled him into a darkened area where nobody could see. "I love you with all my heart. I want to be with you and only you. But, I can't."
His smile went away as quickly as it appeared. "No, my queen, I guess I understand. Come on, Gilbird."
He turned away and started to walk away from you, once more. You let him slip away from you all those years ago. You were not going to lose him again.
"Gilbert, wait! Please " He ignored you and your cries, so you ran up to him. You didn't care about who saw any more, all you wanted was to be with him. You finally caught up with him, and kissed him, right in the middle of the courtyard.
"I love you, Gilbert. I always have and I always will." The albino smiled widely and kissed you once more. This was how it should be. It was meant to be this way.
Later that night, you talked to your father about a divorce between you and your current husband. Too much of your surprise, your father and your mother both agreed. They never said why they allowed you to break from your marriage, but you were happy they did.
A few days later, you and Gilbert finally wedded and became the new rulers of [Kingdom name].
This is how it ends, my dear readers; the fairy-tale that was always meant to be.
Your knight is now your king and you, his princess, are now his lovely queen. Together until death, but even in death you two will always love each other.
though, in simpler words, your love was true and to infinity and beyond. ~

Try sipping on some water and laying on your left side. Take deep breathes and just relax, it could be that your LO is resting on a nerve cord. You could also try taking a warm bath that always helps me when it comes to back pain.posted 12/12/2012 by mellisa_parrott

Videoconferencing Continues Precipitous Decline
The videoconferencing market felt the pain in 2012's third quarter, as the unyielding economic climate saw businesses shun high-end telepresence systems from Cisco, Polycom and others.
Send to Kindle
Editor's note: As part of our special editorial partnership, Channelnomics is publishing this recent article from CRN in the UK.
The videoconferencing market continued to feel the pain in 2012's third quarter, as the unyielding economic climate saw businesses shun high-end telepresence systems.
According to IDC research, the worth of the enterprise video market contracted 4.8 percent during Q3, with market leaders Cisco Systems Inc. and Polycom Inc. posting annual sales declines of 14.7 and 15.2 percent respectively. Cisco remains way out in front, but its market share has shrunk five points to 43.3 percent in the past 12 months. Polycom accounts for about a quarter of the market.
The Latin America and Asia-Pacific market appears to be in rude health, with Q3 revenue in these regions growing 13.7 and 9.7 percent respectively on an annual basis. But it was a different story in the more mature markets of North America and EMEA, with market worth falling 11.5 and 10.8 percent.
The market for immersive telepresence systems plummeted 35.7 percent annually in Q3, while sales of other videoconferencing components, such as gateways and firewalls, took a 26.8 percent hit. Revenue from single-codec video products were up just 0.4 percent, while the personal videoconferencing market grew 8.7 percent and the video MCU space expanded 5 percent.
"As expected, a down year for the overall enterprise videoconferencing and telepresence market continued in 3Q12. This is mostly due to uncertainty stemming from macroeconomic concerns, and a continuing decline in high-end immersive systems," said IDC analyst Rich Costello.
"We also feel that customers are considering more strategic approaches to deploying video technology and applications, leading to longer decision cycles," Costello said.
But Petr Jirovski, an IDC analyst focused on worldwide networking trackers research, claimed video adoption is still "being driven by video integrations with vendors' UC and collaboration portfolios". He added that the growing popularity of desktop, mobile and small workgroup video technologies will also boost the market next year.
"Video as a key component of collaboration continues to place high on the list of priorities for many organizations and we anticipate a return to positive market growth in 2013," said Jirovski.

We ran this post last year at this time – about the time that women start beating themselves up for not sticking to their New Year's resolutions. If that sounds like you, then today's post by Darla can provide some helpful insights.
There is something about the New Year that invites the word "should" into our lives.
"I should have de-cluttered my house last weekend" or "I should have been to the gym 5 times this week" or "I should weigh less by now."
1. understanding the trap
2. choosing to change
3. recognizing the "should" in my thoughts and emotions
4. releasing the "should"
5. looking inward to find my authentic self
I would contend that the more we "should" ourselves, the more rebellious we are likely to become. If I say to myself "I should go on a diet," I immediately find myself driving to the store and buying 3 candy bars.
So instead of "shoulding" ourselves, how about operating from a place of desire, or want, or possibility? The more we take the pressure off and let go of the "should" word, the more we can come from place of exploration and experimentation.
How can you decrease the "shoulds" in your mind?

A SPIKE in certain crimes in Cooma gave the police something to talk about with concerned members of the community on Friday.
Senior Constable Naomi Nemec from the Monaro Crime Management Unit said there has been an increase in stealing from motor vehicles and break and enters in the Cooma area recently.
The Cooma local government area is 32 per cent above the state average for theft from vehicles and 6.2 per cent above the state average for harrassment and threatening behaviour.*
"There has also been some concern in the community about that and underage drinking and scams targetting the elderly," Senior Constable Nemec said.
"I am here to talk to people about their concerns and provide information."
The police were in Centennial Park on Friday to bring awareness about a whole range of law and order issues on the Monaro.
Senior Constable Nemec said some people don't realise underage drinking laws apply to private property.
She said she was also in Cooma to inform the elderly about certain scams.
The police van had a display and handouts on legal matter and a glass showing standard drink measures for different types of alcohol.
"A lot of people don't realise what a standard drink is," Senior Constable Nemec said.

Jamia guy's winning shot story
Anshul Mehrotra, 23-year-old photography student of Jamia Millia Islamia, has been named a finalist for the Student Focus competition, part of the 2013 Sony World Photography Awards. Anshul is one of the 10 finalists from over 230 universities across the globe and will represent India at the competition in London next month.
Busy building his collection of photographs for the competition, Anshul feels his dream is going to be fulfilled. "As far as I remember, I have always had a camera in my hand. I chose photography out of many options during my graduation in mass communication," says Anshul, who shot Chhath Puja celebrations as his assignment.
"I was on a flyover at Kalindi Kunj and saw these two kids on a rickshaw on their way to Chhath celebrations. They were holding hands, and for me this was the perfect moment in which both exuded happiness and real celebration," shares Anshul about the winning image.
"It is not easy to create a perfect picture, and in a creative field like this, perfection is difficult to attain. I am getting the right guidance from Professor Farhat Basir Khan," he says. Anshul admires the works of photographers like Sebastião Salgado, Steve McCurry and Prabuddha Dasgupta. If Anshul wins the competition, his work will be exhibited at Somerset House in London. "I am happy to have come this far. It is a great platform, and my hobby has found a direction now," ends Anshul.

Spinal Diseases
Spinal Epidural Abscess: A Diagnostic Challenge - Article
ABSTRACT: Epidural abscess of the spinal column is a rare condition that can be fatal if left untreated. Risk factors for epidural abscess include immunocompromised states such as diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, cancer, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, as well as spinal procedures including epidural anesthesia and spinal surgery. The signs and symptoms of epidural abscess are nonspecific and can range from low back pain to sepsis. The treatment of choice in most patients is surgical decompression followed by four to six weeks of antibiotic therapy. Nonsurgical treatment may be appropriate in selected patients. The most common causative organism in spinal epidural abscess is Staphylococcus aureus. Spinal epidural abscess involving actinomycosis is rare.
The Painful Shoulder: Part I. Clinical Evaluation. - Article
ABSTRACT: Family physicians need to understand diagnostic and treatment strategies for common causes of shoulder pain. We review key elements of the history and physical examination and describe maneuvers that can be used to reach an appropriate diagnosis. Examination of the shoulder should include inspection, palpation, evaluation of range of motion and provocative testing. In addition, a thorough sensorimotor examination of the upper extremity should be performed, and the neck and elbow should be evaluated.

Sanctions Pushing Iran to Talks
Nazila Fathi, Foreign Policy

Iran's Ministry of Intelligence did something remarkable last month: It used its website to publish a report (link in Farsi) calling for direct talks with the country's foe, the United States. In the report, entitled "The Zionist Regime's Reasons and Obstacles for Attacking Iran," the traditionally hawkish ministry highlighted the benefits of diplomacy and negotiations with the United States: "One way to fend off a possible war is to resort to diplomacy and to use all international capacities."

Chester, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Union will look continue their
fine run of form at home on Saturday as the club welcomes the Portland Timbers
to PPL Park.
After struggling through a difficult two-game road trip to Salt Lake City and
Houston which resulted in a draw and a loss, the Union returned home to face
Chivas USA last Friday and came up with an inspired second-half performance to
claim a 3-1 victory, extending their home unbeaten streak to six consecutive
matches across all competitions.
Philadelphia fell behind last Friday 14 minutes into the match when defender
Amobi Okugo slipped on the wet turf, which allowed Chivas' Jorge Villafana to
collect the ball and send it an unmarked Jose Correa, who fired it into the
empty net.
But in the second half the Union grabbed control and found an equalizer in the
58th minute as a Sebastien Le Toux cross was flicked on by Conor Casey before
deflecting off the back of Brian Carroll and into the net.
Philadelphia grabbed the lead for good in the 82nd minute in a most
unconventional way as Michel Farfan smashed an indirect free kick from inside
the penalty area into the roof of the net.
The Union then added a third goal from Casey in the 89th minute to seal an
important three points.
"This means a lot the way we were able to battle back and get the three points,
it says a lot about our team," said rookie midfielder Leo Fernandes. "This
gives us a lot of confidence and now it's important we take this into the next
game and fight for another three points."
Philadelphia will also welcome back a familiar face as striker Jack McInerney
will be eligible to play after being returned to the club following the his
stint with the U.S. national team at the Gold Cup.
Portland, meanwhile, is coming off a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Western
Conference rival Los Angeles Galaxy last Saturday at Jeld-Wen Field, a result
which lifted the Timbers to second place in the West.
The Galaxy broke through first, in the 17th minute. Hector Jimenez perfectly
placed a cross from the right wing and Marcelo Sarvas was left alone in the box
to head home with ease.
Portland answered back 10 minutes later. From a free kick just outside the
Galaxy box, Diego Valeri took the restart quickly and fed a charging Darlington
Nagbe, who rolled a cross to Ryan Johnson for an open-net goal.
The game-winner came just before the final whistle when Andrew Jean-Baptiste
powered his way into the box to get on the end of a Valeri corner kick.
"With us, we're pushing the game so if we give up a goal, nothing changes,
we're pushing the game,"Timbers head coach Caleb Porter said. "To win the game,
you've got to score goals so the first goal doesn't change a thing for us
whatsoever, and you saw that in our play. We kept going, we kept pushing."
In four all-time meetings between the clubs, Portland holds a 2-0-2 record,
including a 3-1 victory at home last season.

Olive Oil Cake with Bittersweet Chocolate and Rosemary
Kim Boyce 'Good To The Grain'
You don't need to use a specialty olive oil for this cake. But if you have one with a lot of flavor, the cake will be that much better.
olive oil for the pan
3/4 cup spelt flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 eggs
1 cup olive oil
3/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
Preheat the oven to 350. Rub a 9 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with olive oil.
Whisk the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Add the olive oil, milk and rosemary and whisk again. Using a spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry, gently mixing just until combined. Stir in the chocolate. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is domed, golden brown, and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake can be eaten warm or cool from the pan, or cooled, wrapped tightly in plastic, and kept for 2 days.

The current longitudinal study examines precursors of sexual risk behavior among a cohort of adolescent children of HIV-positive and HIV-negative drug-abusing or drug-dependent fathers.
The study involved 296 fathers who were drug-abusing or drug-dependent; the men underwent individual structured interviews. Forty-three percent of the men were HIV-positive. An adolescent child of each father also was interviewed and re-interviewed approximately one year later. The mean age of participating children was 16.3 years (SD=2.8)
"Structural equation modeling showed multiple direct and indirect pathways from psychosocial factors to adolescent sexual risk behavior (sexually active, number of sexual partners and frequency of condom use)," the authors noted. The results showed that greater paternal drug addiction and being HIV-positive, and the teen's perception of environmental hostility (discrimination and victimization) both were related to increased maladjustment and substance use by the adolescent.
In addition, greater paternal addiction and being HIV-positive were associated with weaker father-child attachment; this, in turn, was linked to increased maladjustment and substance use by the adolescent. An enhanced perception of environmental hostility (discrimination and victimization), a weak father-child relationship, and greater maladjustment and substance use by the teens were identified as direct pathways to adolescent sexual risk behavior.
"Findings suggest complex interrelationships among paternal, environmental, social, personal and substance use factors as longitudinal predictors of sexual risk behavior in children whose fathers abuse or are dependent upon drugs," the authors concluded. "The importance of perceived environmental hostility, the father-child relationship and adolescent maladjustment and substance use may have implications for public policy as well as prevention and treatment programs."

Extension Installer/Installer Hooks
From Joomla! Documentation
< Extension Installer
Some extension installers offer installer hooks for the installing application, such as the component installer. This system replaces the older 'com_install' and 'com_uninstall' methods that used to exist instead using an object to contain this information.
The class name of the item should be the element name followed by "InstallerScript". So for "com_alpha" the class name would be "com_alphaInstallerScript".
- install
- uninstall
- update
- discover_install
- preflight
- postflight
Install and uninstall are analogous to to the old "com_install" and "com_uninstall" functions. Update is a new function handled for update situations and "discover_install" is a special version of install that is used when the extension is 'discovered'. Finally preflight and postflight accepts a param display what sort of operation we're doing (one of the above options: install, uninstall, update, discover_install) and is triggered before different operations take place.

The authors investigated whether providing a choice of condoms would increase condom acceptability and self-reported use and decrease incident STD infection. The researchers randomized 414 men in Jamaica who presented with urethral discharge: Some men received the standard clinic condom, while others were given their choice of four different types of condoms. The men were presumptively treated at enrollment, and they were followed up at one, two, four, and six months.
Although participants in the choice group had a strong preference (P<0.01) for the most popular condom available in the nation, this did not equate to higher condom use (P=0.16). The six-month cumulative probability of first incidence of gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomoniasis was slightly greater in the choice group (21 percent; 95 percent confidence interval (CI), 15-28 percent) versus the control group (17 percent, 95 percent CI, 11-23 percent). The difference in survival curves was not significant.
The researchers concluded, "A choice of condoms may increase perceived acceptability but not lead to increased condom use and subsequently lower sexually transmitted infection rates."

Committees are the building blocks of College governance: faculty, students, and staff serve together on nearly all standing and ad hoc committees.
Standing committees are responsible primarily for the formulation, review and implementation of policy relating to the educational program and student life. In most instances, policy decisions of the standing committees are made in the form of recommendations to College Council, which is the primary legislative body of the school, made up of the faculty, staff representatives and 16 student representatives, eight of whom are elected by the student body and eight chosen from the student members of the standing committees.
College Council
The College Council is the main policymaking body at Pitzer. Generally, all policy recommendations that are made by the various committees are forwarded to College Council for discussion and eventual vote. If passed, these recommendations go to the President and as appropriate to the Board of Trustees for final approval. The College Council has the power to recommend requirements for academic degrees and honors, as well as make recommendations to the President regarding the establishment of new academic divisions and the creation of standing and ad hoc committees. The President or the Dean of Faculty presides as the Chair at Council meetings. Council meetings occur several times each semester and may be convened at the call of the President, the Dean of Faculty, the Chairperson of the Faculty Executive Committee, or the Student Senate Chair. All faculty and student voting members are expected to attend such meetings.

NJ 12th Best State for Teen Drivers [AUDIO]
The summer season is the most popular time of year for teens to obtain their driver's licenses. It is also a dangerous time, as an average of 260 teen deaths result from car accidents during the summer months. There is good news for New Jersey, which ranks 12th-best in the nation for teen drivers, according to a new study by WalletHub.com.
The study looked at 16 factors including safety conditions, economic environment and driving laws that affect the overall driving conditions. It also examined the average cost of car repairs, the number of teen drivers in each state, impaired driving laws and teen driver fatalities.
"New Jersey's strengths come around safety and driving laws, but not around the metrics that have to do with economic environment like the average cost of a car repair or the increase you see in your car insurance premium when you add a teen driver to your plan," said Odysseas Papadimitriou, CEO of WalletHub.com. "The cost of speeding tickets, red light tickets or those you receive for not wearing a seat belt are also not high enough, so they are less likely to deter the behavior that leads to 260 teens losing their lives during the summer months in car accidents."
According to the report, the following is how New Jersey ranked when it came to teen driving conditions:
- Tenth – Teen Driver Fatalities per Licensed Teen Drivers.
- Thirtieth – Number of Teen "Under the Influence" Traffic Violations per Licensed Teen Drivers.
- Twelfth – Impaired Driving Laws.
- First – Distracted-Driving/Texting-While-Driving Laws.
- Twenty-second – Premium Increase after Adding a Teen Driver to Your Auto Insurance.
- Eighth – Teen Drivers as a Percent of Total Drivers.
- Eleventh – Percent of Teen Population with Driver's Licenses.
- Forty-eighth – Quality of Roads.
- Fiftieth – Average Cost of Car Repairs
New York, Hawaii and Illinois were the top three safest states for teen drivers. Nebraska, Mississippi and South Dakota were at the bottom of the list.
