Sometimes, the oddest thing will wind up in my in-box of things to review. Such is the case of the "Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure" DVD (also available on Blu-Ray) that hits retail shelves on May 20. I usually review animation DVDs and while most animation is targeted for children, this children's DVD is not animated. But Sophia Grace & Rosie are definitely a pair of animated children, so that's enough to file this as Animation for now. At the very least, "Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure" is the type of children's film that would air in the weekend afternoon after a cable channel's long cartoon block.
Upon receiving "Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure," my first question was "Who the Benedict Cumberbatching heck are Sophia Grace & Rosie?" followed immediately with my second question of "Why the Benedict Cumberbatching heck do Sophia Grace & Rosie exist?"
The answers to both my questions lie in Ellen DeGeneres. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres was the one who discovered Sophia Grace & Rosie on YouTube singing to a Nicki Minaj song. She found them cute and marketable enough to pluck them from YouTube obscurity and put them on her "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." After a few red carpet correspondent gigs, Ellen DeGeneres and Warner Bros. has given the pint-sized duo a chance to star in their own movie with "Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure" on Blu-Ray and DVD. A "Tea Time with Sophia Grace and Rosie" activity booklet is also included for added entertainment.
"Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure" pits the titular Sophia Grace & Rosie as Ellen DeGeneres' correspondents to the coronation of the new queen of the fictional country of Switzelvania, which will take place as soon as the best princess is chosen. The two kids meet the princess who they feel is most qualified but she needs a little more coaching to be more princess-like. Naturally, this coaching involves singing, dancing, tutus, tiaras, and lots of pink. So "Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure" is pretty much "The Princess Diaries" mixed with antics worthy of YouTube minus the charm of Anne Hathaway.
Children's programming usually packs in a moral for its audience to learn; so what does "Sophia Grace & Rosie's Royal Adventure" teach its audience?
1. Anyone with a YouTube account, kids, and a bit of luck has a chance to be the next Internet celebrity.
2. The popularity of afternoon talk show hosts like Ellen DeGeneres shows how short the average attention span is getting considering they can now YouTube to fill in their entertainment segments.

Bit of a fun post here - but Superman, if you're reading this, please email me as I'll require a meeting with you (and no I won't be wearing the same lingerie Lois wore in the original movie, sorry).
These matches are earth proof, water proof, boot-smashing proof, puddle of water/boot smash/dirt proof. They won't die. Ever. In the above video, they are put through torture tests and just as you think it's going to go out and you are about to scream "HAHA TweakTown your news poster is fai...... wait, what!" and yes, they are back on fire.
So if you see someone running around with these, you know whatever they're going to set on fire is going to serious. I see much more "DIAF" jokes involving these matches.

Category: vintage baby names
I don't you know if you've noticed a growing trendlet—at least among celebrities—for what we might call generic-boy-nickname-names. In other words, these aren't specific short forms like Charlie or Archie, but ol- timey macho boy tags like Buddy and Buster.
In the recent past, we've seen Noel Gallagher's Sonny, a choice shared by British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor—as well as Adam Sandler's daughter Sunny; Jamie Oliver's Buddy Bear Maurice; Michele Hicks and Jonny Lee Miller's Buster Timothy; the three Aces of Natalie Appleton, Tom Dumont, and Jennie Finch and Casey Daigle; the two Dukes of Diane Keaton and Justine Bateman; and the Junior of Peter Andre and Katie Price.
We can't help wondering if this is yet another offshoot of the midcentury Mad Men phenomenon, bringing us back to the days of Father Knows Best's Bud (birth name James Anderson, Jr.) and J. D. Salinger's Buddy Glass (real name Webb Gallagher Glass), and Marlon Brando, who was known to friends and family as Bud. In those days, though, Sonny or Buster were not usually put on the birth certificate, and over time those pet names began to be relegated to pets.
If I were a cookbook writer, I think my first title would be: "100 Ways to Dice and Slice the Social Security List." There is so much information to be found embedded in it and so many ways to look at it, that there seems to be no end of different and intriguing ways to parse the data.
Pam will be writing later about the startling number of names that have been in the Top 1000 consistently—which is to say every single year– since score-keeping began in1880. Today I'll take a look at the patterns followed by the names that have moved in and out of fashion.
First, the girls, grouped by the decades they first came into favor, followed by the specific years when they were included in the Top 100. (This does not include names that have been up there every single year.)
You may be surprised at when some of the names initially appeared—sometimes earlier, sometimes later than you might have guessed. Zoe and Chloe, for example, were both strong in the 19th century, as were Savannah and Samantha. Alexis was already up there in the 1940s, but Alexa didn't break through till the 70s; Kayla was there as early as the fifties, while—and this may not be such a surprise– Kaitlyn, Katelyn, Kaylee and Makayla all broke through as a group in the eighties, along with Hailey and Bailey.

Do you love vintage names but want to move beyond the usual classics and Biblical choices? We looked at the popularity lists of 1910 to uncover hundreds of vintage boys' names that are no longer in use — but could be revived.
It's odd that there seem to be more terminally-antiquated boys' names from 1910 than girls' names. After all, girls' names change more quickly and dramatically than do boys', which tend to hinge more on tradition and less on fashion.
Yet beyond the Johns and Williams that have always predominated for boys (and still do today), there are dozens, even hundreds of names that filled the Top 1000 list a hundred years ago and now are lost to time.
They include hero names, surname-names, nickname-names, androgynous names, and even regular old first names that few people seem to use any more.
Sure, some parents who love vintage names might revive Chester or Homer or Julius or Oswald. But many of these popular names for boys in 1910 are rarely heard today
- Alvin
- Arnold
- Bernard
- Carlton
- Cecil
- Chester
- Claude
- Cloyd
- Clyde
- Cornelius
- Delbert
- Dewey
- Dudley
- Earl
- Edgar
- Elex
Do you want a vintage name for your daughter but are hoping to uncover a hidden treasure from the past? We combed the popularity lists in search of cool vintage names you may not have heard before.
We've written a lot about the names of 1910 that are coming back, thanks to the Hundred Year Rule: Alice and Florence, Lillian and Hazel and Ruby.
But what about the names in the Top 1000 of 1910 that are virtually unknown now? A hundred years ago, Helen was the number 2 name for girls, right behind Mary. Mildred was number 8, Ethel number 13, and the dubious Gladys hot on her heels at 15. You don't meet many Ethels and Gladyses (Gladysi?) anymore outside the nursing home.
And I've never heard of a Ceola, Ozella, or Exie, yet those names and dozens of others now lost were in the 1910 Top 1000.
Several months ago we looked at the Lost Names of 1880, and were surprised by how many there were. We declare ourselves surprised anew by how many lost names we've located on the 1910 roster that are different from those we listed in the 1880 story.
The first group are not lost, exactly, as they're still heard from time to time. A few — Blanche, Lula, Viola — may even make a comeback. But most of these names, popular in 1910, have been in mothballs for decades now and may never make it out.

Love, love, loooove this singable story! Big thanks to my teacher friend (and huge supporter of Listen & Learn) Rene for sending me a copy of this book, which I'd previously never heard of. I've been getting lots of use out of it lately, and hopefully you can too.
Around the World We Go is a beautifully illustrated story by Margaret Wise Brown, the same author who wrote Goodnight Moon (one of several bedtime favorites in our house). The words fit the tune "The Farmer in the Dell" perfectly, but I slowed down the tempo and gave it a bit of a jazzy makeover.
This is a singable story you can use with younger children since it is so short and simple, but it can also serve as a gateway to more complex topics and activities with older kiddos. I'm having fun thinking of different ways to apply it in my music therapy sessions, and no doubt it will make its way into my music classes soon.
Do you already have this book on your shelf, and I'm just late to the party? If so and you have some fun ways of applying it, I'd love to hear 'em. And if you have a singable story you're digging, please do tell!
P.S. I'm sharing a download of this recording (along with the instrumental version and chords) over at Listen & Learn Plus! today.

Dolphins RB Reggie Bush Hits The Club Drinking After His Team Falls to 0-4
Reggie Bush is quickly realizing that Miami is definitely not New Orleans. Bush is under fire with fans yet again, and just like his previous fiascos, Twitter is at the center of it all. Last night Reggie hit the clubs drinking, as TMZ described it, "like he just won the Super Bowl" — but the problem is that six hours earlier, his Dolphins team was just dealt their 4th "L" in a row by the San Diego Chargers, making them winless on the year so far.
Some may say "well, it's only Week 4″ but any way you look at it, Reggie Bush is not off to the greatest start with his new Miami Dolphins team. In addition to his squad being winless, Reggie's contribution has been pretty lackluster and he definitely isn't living up to the "impact player" that Miami thought they were getting. To add insult to injury, yesterday's contest against the Chargers was Reggie's first game as an NFL player in his hometown of San Diego, rushing for an unimpressive 50 yds on 13 carries and catching a pair of passes for a total of 15 yards.
For the record, Bush is a grown-ass man and can do whatever the hell he wants in his downtime — but it's a questionable move for a guy who's been HEAVILY criticized for playing like crap this season.
[via TMZ]
TMZ is right. Reggie is a grown-ass man, and Miami fans may not actually be as upset as most would think. Let's not forget, this is the same city that LeBron James and the Miami Heat call home. If that that whole "clubbing with the opposing team after losing the NBA Championship to them" thingy has already slipped your mind, here is a reminder.
Party on Wayne. Party on Garth. Party on Regg.

Heat Shield Sample, Gemini 7
To survive the reentry into the Earth's atmosphere at a velocity of over 17,000 mph, all human spacecraft until the space shuttle used ablative heat shields based on technology developed for nuclear missile nosecones. The blunt end created a shock wave that held off the majority of the heating, but the ionized gases behind the shock wave nonetheless heated the shield to a temperature of several thousand degrees. This heat was carried away by the ablation (charring and evaporation) of the heat shield material. This sample shows the construction of the Gemini heat shield, and how the surface charred as it ablated. It apparently comes from the Gemini 7 spacecraft in which astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell spent 14 days in space from December 4 - 18, 1965.

A heat shield protected the Gemini spacecraft against the enormous heat generated by reentry into the atmosphere at more than 27,500 kilometers (17,000 miles) per hour. Like those of other early American and Soviet manned spacecraft, Gemini's heat shield derived from ballistic-missile warhead technology. The dish-shaped shield created a shock wave in the atmosphere that held off most of the heat. The rest was dissipated by ablation--charring and evaporation--of the heat shield's surface. Ablative shields were not reusable.
At the time of reentry, the spacecraft would be maneuvered to the appropriate orientation and the equipment adaptor section would be detached and jettisoned, exposing the retrorocket module. The retrorockets consisted of four spherical-case polysulfide ammonium perchlorate solid-propellant motors mounted near the center of the reentry adaptor module, each with 11,070 N thrust. They would fire to initiate the spacecraft reentry into the atmosphere, with attitude being maintained by a reentry control system of 16 engines, each with 5.2 N thrust. The retrorocket module would then be jettisonned, exposing the heat shield at the base of the reentry module. Along with the ablative heat shield, thermal protection during reentry was provided by thin Rene 41 radiative shingles at the base of the module and beryllium shingles at the top. Beneath the shingles was a layer of MIN-K insulation and thermoflex blankets. At an altitude of roughly 15,000 meters the 2.4 meter drogue chute would deploy from the rendezvous and recovery section. At 3230 meters altitude the the drogue is released which extracts the 5.5 meter pilot parachute. The rendezvous and recovery section is released 2.5 seconds later, deploying the 25.6 meter main ring-sail parachute which is stored in the bottom of the section. The spacecraft is then rotated from a nose-up to a 35 degree angle for water landing. At this point a recovery beacon was activated, transmitting via an HF whip antenna mounted near the front of the reentry module. The Gemini reentry module consisted of the pressurized cabin which held the two Gemini astronauts. Instrumentation pallets holding cameras, accelerometers, batteries, and other devices were situated in the astronaut area.
Separating the reentry module from the retrorocket section of the adaptor at its base was a curved silicone elastomer ablative heat shield. The module was composed predominantly of titanium and nickle-alloy with beryllium shingles. At the narrow top of the module was the cylindrical reentry control system section and above this the rendezvous and recovery section which holds the reentry parachutes. The cabin held two seats equipped with emergency ejection devices, instrument panels, life support equipment, and equipment stowage compartments in a total pressurized volume of about 2.25 cubic meters. Two large hatches with small windows could be opened outward, one positioned above each seat.

Know Your Enemy: Hull City
by Ashley Houghton
We take a look at another of the league's new boys.
The Tigers returned to the Barclays Premier League after a two-year stay in the Championship was ended last season with a second-place finish under former Sunderland boss Steve Bruce.
Bruce's side secured automatic promotion on the final day of the campaign with a draw against title winners Cardiff City.
The goal that sealed promotion for Hull, who won 11 away games during the campaign, was scored by Paul McShane, one of two former Black Cats to ply their trade on Humberside, the other being David Meyler.
Sunderland wide man Ahmed Elmohamady was voted Tigers' Player of the Year for the 2012-13 campaign after a string of impressive performances during his loan spell.
The 276-mile round trip to Hull's KC Stadium is the second-shortest the Black Cats' fans will make during the new campaign behind only the Tyne-Wear derby at St. James' Park.
The 25,404-capacity stadium, which has been the Tigers' home since their move from Boothferry Park in 2002, will be the second smallest in the Barclays Premier League with only Swansea's Liberty Stadium holding fewer fans at capacity.
Sunderland will look to extend a fine record against Hull in recent years with the Black Cats winning the last six games between the two sides whilst the Yorkshire side are also without a point against the Wearsiders in top-flight football.
The Tigers' last win against Sunderland came in 1990 as Denis Smith's play-off chasing side went down 1-0 in the clash at Roker Park.
And, though Sunderland have a fine run of form against Hull, City's manager Bruce will look to extend an excellent record against his former club which has seen the ex-Birmingham boss lose just three of the 15 games he has taken charge against them.
Black Cats head coach Paolo Di Canio never played against Bruce despite the two playing for Steel City rivals, Sheffield Wednesday and United respectively, though Di Canio did score an 89th-minute equaliser for West Ham United against Bruce's Birmingham on the final day of the 2002-03 campaign.
George Boyd, who made his loan move from Peterborough permanent this summer, will come up against international teammate Steven Fletcher when the two sides meet this season.
Equally, McShane, Meyler, Stephen Quinn and Robbie Brady will play against their international captain in Sunderland defender John O'Shea.
Corry Evans, brother of former Sunderland loanee Jonny, is likely to feature during the campaign for Bruce's side.
Following the announcement of the initial Barclays Premier League fixtures in June, the Black Cats are set to travel to Hull in November whilst Bruce will return to the Stadium of Light for the first time in February.

EUGENE, Ore.—The University of Oregon men's tennis program is proud to announce the signing of two new Ducks for next season, head coach Nils Schyllander announced Friday.
Kevin Farin joins the Ducks as a transfer from the University of Brussels in Brussels, Belgium. Farin has been ranked as high as number one amongst all junior players in Belgium. He was a participant in the doubles finals of the Belgium F9 Futures in Huy, Belgium in 2012. His ATP doubles ranking is 1283, while his ATP singles ranking has been as high as 1618. Most recently, Farin has recorded several wins over players ranked inside Belgium's top 30 men's players.
"Kevin has a huge serve and a world class forehand," said Schyllander. " He is so physically strong and can really cover the whole court. He comes from a tennis family and has been well coaches throughout his career. Kevin will have an immediate impact on the Ducks and college tennis."
Joey Swaysland also comes to Oregon as a transfer after playing at the University of Texas. Swaysland's career high junior world ranking is number 91, while his ATP singles ranking has been as high as 1423, and his highest ATP doubles ranking reached 1291. Born in Wagga Wagga, Australia, Swaysland was a member of Australia's victorious Junior Davis Cup team in 2009. In 2010, he earned an ATP point after defeating countryman Nima Roshon, who was ranked number 557 in the world at the time. He also competed at the Australian Open Junior Championships and reached the round of 32 in 2010 and 2011. His extensive resume also includes a victory at the under-14 World Cup competition as well as a doubles championship at the 17th Sarawak Chief Minister's Cup in Malaysia.
"Joey is very experienced and he has played tennis all over the world. He brings an aggressive style of tennis that will excite the fans at the UO Student Tennis Center. He is also a very accomplished doubles player and will help us keep our success in doubles going and hopefully reach new heights," said Schyllander.
Farin will have three years of eligibility as a Duck, while Swaysland will have two years to play in Oregon.
"To be able to bring in two athletes with the character and skill that Joey and Kevin possess this late in the game is really exciting. They both have lofty goals and will have an immediate impact on the future of Oregon tennis."

Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Astellas Pharma is paying Ironwood Pharmaceuticals a $30 million licensing fee for Asian rights to its late-stage treatment for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic constipation (CC), linaclotide. The exclusive development and commercialization deal covers Japan, Indonesia, Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand.
The deal is valued at $75 million in up-front and precommercial milestones plus escalating royalties on linaclotide sales. Astellas will lead clinical development in Japan and will be responsible for all activities and expenses relating to clinical development, regulatory approval, and commercialization in the licensed territories.
In May Laboratorios Almirall took over European rights to linaclotide in IBS-C and other gastrointestinal indications for $55 million in near-term payments. In the U.S., the drug is being developed and will be marketed under a 50/50 partnership with Forest Laboratories. In September 2007, when the agreement was signed, Forest paid $70 million in licensing fees. Forest retains exclusive rights in Canada and Mexico and will pay Ironwood a royalty on sales in these countries.
Linaclotide demonstrated proof of concept in two Phase II studies in over 700 patients with either IBS-C or CC. In patients with IBS-C, linaclotide significantly reduced abdominal pain and bloating as well as improved bowel function throughout the 12-week treatment period. In patients with CC, linaclotide reduced constipation throughout the four-week treatment period. In both studies the most common adverse event was diarrhea.
Linaclotide is a once-daily, orally delivered peptide that acts locally in the gut with no detectable systemic exposure at therapeutic doses. Linaclotide is an agonist of guanylate cyclase type-C, a receptor found on the lining of the intestine. Issued composition of matter patents for linaclotide in the U.S. and Europe provide protection beyond 2024.

I am trying to write *.desktop launchers for 2 applications (Aptana and Dart Editor). I have the same problem with both of them. When I click on the icon, they launch properly but neither are they in Unity sidebar nor alt+tab. I just minimized one and can't open it again :D It's simply GONE! But working.
Here is what I have in aptana.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Name[en_US]=Aptana Studio 3
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /opt/AptanaStudio3/AptanaStudio3 -application com.aptana.commandline.launcher.LauncherApplication "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Name=Aptana Studio 3
Can anyone spot the problem? The reason I don't just drag&drop the executable is because both, Aptana and Dart Editor, are just tweaked versions of Eclipse. If I did that, I would be able to launch application but then a second icon in the launcher would appear for editor's running instance.

Disease Proof
FDA: Farmed Fish Okay
If the FDA says its okay, then it must be good—right? Yeah, that's debatable. Anyway, remember how it was reported that farmed fished had been also exposed to the pet food contaminate melamine? No worries, the FDA now claims the fish is fine to eat—very fishy if you ask me. Randolph E. Schmid of the Associated Press reports:
The two fish farms that used the feed kept their fish off the market until the tests could be completed.
Dr. David Acheson, assistant commissioner for food protection, said fish being raised at Kona Blue in Hawaii and American Gold Seafoods in Washington state were found negative for the chemical melamine.
The questionable feed was also sold to 196 fish hatcheries. Because those fish are small and the feed has been recalled, Acheson said the FDA believes there no longer is any public health concern from them.
The FDA on Tuesday cleared for use 56,000 pigs given feed that included scraps of pet food contaminated with melamine.

My son's name is Peyton. He's known how to spell his name before preschool since we worked on writing letters at home.
The way we taught him to do his letter y was just like its typed here, a straight diagnol line and another diagnol line.
Well supposedly I taught him wrong and they're making him relearn to do it in a different way (using one single motion, all swoopy) and its really frustrating him since he's been doing his ys the other way for 3 years now (he's in kindy this year).
I work on it at home with him but he gets frustrated. I tell him thats just the way he has to do it now because thats how the school wants it.
I'll definitely back the school up and would never complain to them but I guess I dont understand what the big deal is? He writes his first name perfect except for the y and has to rewrite the ys.
I'd much rather have them teaching my son to stop skipping 18 every single freaking time he counts to 50, seriously every.single.time!!! :)

Perched on the banks of the river for which it is named, Wallowa is one of many charming outposts along the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway. The doorstep of the Wallowa Mountains is the historic home of the Nez Perce tribe, celebrated each year at the Tamkaliks Powwow, and the Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center, preserving the history of an early 20th-century African American logging town.
Wallowa is located in Eastern Oregon, where miles of scenic byways, alpine wilderness, working cattle ranches and basalt canyons are still the place for explorers to make their mark.

16th Annual Berea's National Rib Cook-Off
Memorial Day Weekend, May 23-26, 2014
Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds.
Take I-71 to the Berea/Bagley Rd. Exit.
Go West less than 1 mile to the Fairgrounds entrance.
There are two things that signal the start of the summer season. One is the phrase "Gentle Start Your Engines!" and the other is the Berea National Rib Cook-Off presented by the Berea City Club and Yuengling.
This year is the 16th time that the event has been held at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea, Ohio. The precise dates this year are May 23-26, 2014. Come rain or shine or heaven forbid that four letter word that begins with "s" the Rib Fest will go on. Parking is free all day and everyday and Friday is Free Admission Day with just $5.00 needed to get you in on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Children 12 and under are free all weekend long. Monday will be set aside to honor all active and retired military personnel showing military ID with free admission.
As in the past, Berea's National Rib Cook-Off brings some of the top National Rib Teams to compete for First, Second and Third Place in the following categories: Best Ribs, Best Sauce and People's Choice. The Awards Presentation is held on Memorial Day.
At the Berea National Rib Cook-Off, it's all about the food. Once you have satisfied your taste buds for the taste of ribs there are a host of other great festival food and drink to try from Fried Veggies, Kettle Korn and Cotton Candy to name a few. Back by popular demand will be the Children's Activity Area that features a Super-Slide, Kiddie-Bouncer and Rock Climbing Wall.
Friday Night is "Bike Night" sponsored by Rock-N-Roll City Harley-Davidson when all bikers are invited to bring their rides inside the gates to park next to the midway all weekend in a secure area.
The Fest would not be complete without the top notch entertainment that it offers. All visitors to the Fest are invited to enjoy a variety of local musical entertainment all weekend long at the Southwest General Health Center Stage.
Friday Night's entertainment kicks off with "The Clayton Brothers" at 4PM followed by a 7PM Show with the "Burnt River Band" and closing the night with Headliner "Colin Dussault's Blues Project" taking the stage at 9:30PM.
Country Music Lovers will enjoy Saturday with musical performances throughout the day starting at 2PM with "The Caliber Band" followed by shows by "Georgia & The Georgia Preachers", "Coalies Run" and "The Stickers" taking the stage with 9PM show.
The musical entertainment stays in high-gear on Sunday Afternoon with London Flatts followed by Shockwave, My Manic Episode and Escape closing out the evening's entertainment.
Memorial Day brings a little bit of country and a little bit of rock and roll to the fairgrounds with Cruisin', Haywire, Monica Robins and the Whiskey Kings with the Logan Wells & Jerry Colosimo Variety Show closing the festival with a concert at 6:30PM.
For all Festival information go to www.berearib.com or the Hotline Number at 440-234-5181.

Note: The standalone Online Backup program can only be used by the Windows user who installed it. Other users who log into Windows, on that computer, can't use the Online Backup program. If they try to, one of the following may appear:
With QuickBooks Online Backup, you are able to create an online backup directly from within QuickBooks or by using the Online Backup program.
You can back up files from local hard drives and mapped drives (on a network). You cannot back up files from CD/DVD drives or other removable media.
Important: The information in this article only applies to QuickBooks Online Backup service.
Typically, this service is used with QuickBooks 2010 and older. If you use QuickBooks 2011, QuickBooks 2012, or later you should use Intuit Data Protect not QuickBooks Online backup service. Please see Intuit Data Protect Frequently Asked Questions
There are two ways to create an online backup: from within QuickBooks or by using the standalone Online Backup program.
Create an online backup from within QuickBooks
Select Online Backup
QuickBooks closes the company file and opens the online backup program. A checkmark automatically appears to the left of the company file name in the Files tab of the program.
Select Online Backup
QuickBooks closes the company file and opens the online backup program. A checkmark automatically appears to the left of the company file name in the Files tab of the program.
Note: When you select a folder to back up, all of its sub folders and files are backed up as well. This could result in backing up a very large number of files, depending on the contents of the folder. Please ensure any selected files are also closed at the time of backup. Otherwise, you will encounter an error that the backup completed with errors.
Create a backup using the QuickBooks Online Backup Application
Note: To protect your QuickBooks data, be sure to select your QuickBooks company file and any related files (such as the .tlg and .nd files). Your company file ends with the extension .QBW.
Intuit also recommends backing up other types of files that can't be easily replaced (for example, text documents, spreadsheets, databases, and tax and finance files that you create and save to your hard drive).
Generally, avoid backing up the following file types:

Hitachi introduces W63H clamshell phone
If you fancy a new clamshell handset that's not a total ripoff of the Motorola RAZR, then you might want to take a look at the Hitachi W63H. It's a new clamshell up for release in the Japanese market right now, and comes with some pretty cutting-edge features.
By cutting-edge, of course, I mean its 3.1-inch OLED display which is only now making ways to the phones of tomorrow's mainstream market. It should offer crisp, bright visuals without draining too much battery life.
Can't say much else about this new handset for now, except that its screen resolution is a lovely 480 x 800 pixels (WVGA), it offers 1-Seg support, and is available in three colors: orange, white, and black. No details were available on pricing.

Yuhuang Mountain Park came into being after the Yuhuang Temple. In addition to the statue of Yuhuang Emperor (the Supreme Deity of Taoism), there are also statues of Guan Yu, Goddess, and Zhang Fei. Besides, modern facilities for entertainment like pavilions, pools, flowers, zoo, man-made lake, children playground and large-scale maze of 99 amazing projects are also inside the park.

It seems like she comes around every Spring,
I don't know how long she'll be sticking around,
so I ask:
"how do I best deal with the anxiety of the coming few months in particular, and the coming year in general, given all the changes I have so little control over?"
Your upcoming changes are throwing you into a bit of internal upheaval, especially since you know you'll be evaluated anew, and competing with others for security. It'll be too easy to feel anxiety and stress over it all. Maybe even frustration that you can't control the situation the way you'd really like to. Your creative sparks may be burning low while your way through thorny obstacles
but get this, take the path of least resistance this one time, don't be so hard on yourself.
Besdies your work experience and your reputation, you know, dry spells dont last, and you know you're going to emerge from this difficulty with renewed energy and creativity.
"A change is as good as a holiday."
Let your friends support you, and move forward deliberately and with confidence.
anyone else?

You have angels surrounding you. They are whispering in your ear, ever reminding you of your beauty, courage and strength. They wrap their wings around you, so when you feel that brush against a shoulder, it is them reminding you that you are never alone.
They fill your eyes and ears with deliciousness...with vigor and spark for this thing we call life. You see detail...every minute detail, and things that others so easily miss or take for granted.
They are here to remind you that have risen to new heights. heights in which you are able to fly and soar above the lower energies of the Earth plane. Take flight... you already have, and continue to travel to anywhere you wish. You are protected and loved deeply in your journey. Blessed.

Quite pleased with the Brooklyn Apartment . Rohan was most helpful.
Would be happy to go back to the Brooklyn Apartment if ever we are able to return to New York.
with my poor English i wand to say a big thank you to Rohan
The house had everything that you wand to have
a very nice large bed for Two
fantastic bath and a kitchen that has everything that you need
the neighborhood was quite but full of life
the metro 5 minutes from the house Kingston Av NO3
from the station to Times sq without chance train 30 min
take care Rohan and i am waiting for you come to Greece
Stylianos and Kyriaki
from Athens Greece
The appartament is fine, when i have got some issues with the wifi Rohan was responsive and helpful.
Apartment just as described, clean and tidy with a good secure coded door entry. Shops and subway very close. Host Rohan easily contactable by phone. Will definitely book Rohans apartment four the next visit in NYC.
Very good apartment, fully furnished and very clean.
Good position in the heart of Brooklyn with 4 subway stations on two different lines.
Rohan provided us all information for a good staying and solved us the problem of baggage in the last day (flight back in late evening).
Great experience
We have been during 6 days in this fantastic apartment. Very comfortable, clean, and quiet. Very easy to contact with the owner.It is easy to get to the metro to go to the center. There are supermarket, pharmacy, bus, ...everything near. I recommend this apartment if you are only two¡¡
Cozy little appartment, 5min walking to subway that goes directly to Manhattan. Very good door locking sytem based on a code. That means you do not need to schedule a handover of the keys, but can get into the appartment directly when you arrive.
Very pleasant stay at Rohans Place! Description of the room suits in every detail: It was clean and comfortable. Well equipped, the kitchen had everything you need for cooking, the bathroom was super clean and the shower was amazing.
Nice combination of historic building and new furniture. Lively neighbourhood with good subway connection, coffeestores, restaurants, supermarkets etc. all around.
Next time when in NYC definitively stay at Rohan again !!!

I had an itch, so I scratched it.
I had been pondering about xml:lang values for language en, yet without a locale, to use for UEBC, a proposed Universal English braille code. Eventually I joined the W3C I18N interest list, and asked. Silly thing to do! As is often the case I was out of date. rfc4646.txt was pointed to as the up to date version. Since I'd need to test it, even nicer I found a pointer to this, which proposes test cases. At this link, I found a proposed regex from Mark Davis. I looked at that regex for long enough before trying to break it down into it's component pieces. Initially in Python, I then moved over to netbeans (the new 5.5 version - very nice), and started testing. After most of the night I finally arrived at testing for a full language specification. If you take a look at the test cases, you'll see it can get rather messy! Certainly stretched my regex knowledge. Having been sold on TDD for a little while, I naturally started to build tests. A little tedious, but it does keep the confidence high each time you move on a step. I now have 82 part tests, which exercise the sub elements of the full beast. I've made a start on the fuller test list, though it's likely to be flaky. Any suggested improvements, please let me know. It's zipped up, ant build file and test code, here. Enjoy
Further debate puts common sense onto the formal words. The key part being that 'grandfathered' (lovely term!) stuff is being replaced by 'irregular' tags. New references are: iana, which provides the semantics. The update to rfc4646 is currently inter-locale.com, but note that the suffix of 01 will change over time.
Based on comments on the I18N <firstname.lastname@example.com> list, mainly from John Cowan. Some notes on language specification.
Grandfathered. I failed to understand this. John explained:
"Grandfathered" is a semantic concept (the meaning of the tag cannot be deduced from its parts); "irregular" a syntactic one (the tag cannot be parsed into parts using the regular parsing algorithms). All irregular tags are grandfathered, but not all grandfathered tags are irregular. Unfortunately this distinction was not clarified until after 4646 was published.
Okay, let me unpack that a bit.
Most 4646 language tags follow the general pattern of language-script- region-variant, with all but the first part optional. The ABNF makes it possible to (a) recognize a well-formed tag and (b) take it apart into the four components. Then you can look in the Language Subtag Registry at iana to find out what the various subtags mean.
There are some exceptions, however, based on tags that were registered before we adopted these rules. For example, "sgn" means "sign languages" and "US" means "in the United States", but "sgn-us" does not mean "any sign language used in the United States", it means the specific sign language called "American Sign Language". A tag like this has the regular form, but its meaning is grandfathered. You can recognize a tag like this using the ABNF, but if you try to understand its meaning piece by piece, you get the wrong answer. All such tags are listed in the Language Subtag Registry.
Furthermore, some of the grandfathered tags are also irregular: they don't match the language-script-region-variant pattern at all, and you cannot take them apart. "i-hak" is an example of this: it means "Hakka Chinese". These tags are also listed in the Language Subtag Registry.
You should ignore the "grandfathered" production in the ABNF altogether. It will be replaced in the next RFC (temporarily called "RFC 4646bis") with the following production:
irregular = "en-GB-oed" / "i-ami" / "i-bnn" / "i-default"
/ "i-enochian" / "i-hak" / "i-klingon" / "i-lux"
/ "i-mingo" / "i-navajo" / "i-pwn" / "i-tao"
/ "i-tay" / "i-tsu" / "sgn-BE-fr" / "sgn-BE-nl"
/ "sgn-CH-de"
Your code should simply check if a tag is case-insensitively equal to any of those 17 strings, and if so, declare it well-formed without further investigation. This list is permanently fixed, so it is safe to freeze it into code.
Addison Phillips responded with:
Grandfathered tags are those registered under RFC 1766 or RFC 3066 whose subtags are not all in the subtag registry.There are two classes of grandfathered tags:
1. Tags which are "well-formed" but for which some subtags are not registered.
2. Tags which are not well-formed and which are only valid as grandfathered tags (which are called "irregular").
If your processor does validation, you need the complete list of grandfathered tags. If your processor only does well-formedness checking, you only need the list of irregular tags (as above)
This latter list, please note is closed, as in it will never change.
Please note that there is test data in some of the LTRU WG archives which you would do well to try.
rfc4646.txt, at ietf is moving on. John points out. You can see the new draft ABNF at ietf (when replaced, it'll become -02, -03, etc. etc.)
For the curious, ietf manages a part of this standardisation work. Go see ietf which is the Working Group home page.

Nemec Hall
Located across from Smith Hall and next to Hatter Hall, Nemec hall serves as home to 150 co-ed new and returning students in shared-occupancy and single-occupancy rooms with community-style bathrooms. Built in 1966 and renovated in 2000, Nemec Hall is made up of five individual pods where students live (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon) and one central pod that features a full kitchen and laundry room. The entire building is pet friendly, and the Beta pod is home to the Second-Year Experience Living-Learning Community. Each floor of the five pods shares a common room for students to hang out, study and relax. Nemec Hall has a resident assistant (R.A.) in every pod that helps students by providing opportunities to develop deep and meaningful relationships not just within their pod, their roommates, but with members of the entire building. Nemec Hall also houses the full-time live-in residential life coordinator (R.L.C.)'s office in the central pod.

Stetson University is unique in allowing residents of a designated area to live with their pets. The future of the pet privilege rests on the successful administration of the policy and the willingness of students to abide by, and enforce, the policy. The opportunity to bring a pet to campus is a privilege, not a right.
What is a pet?
The Department of Housing and Residential Life defines "acceptable campus pets" to include: fish, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rats, mice, cats and dogs of certain breeds and sizes. Dogs may not exceed fifty pounds in weight when fully grown. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, chows, Akitas and wolf breeds, or any mix containing these, or any dog that displays aggressive behavior, are not considered an acceptable pet and are not allowed on campus at any time. Any cat or dog living on campus has to be at least one year old and has to have lived with the student's family for at least one year prior to living on campus. The acquisition of any dog or cat, purchased, fostered or stray, while a student at Stetson University is prohibited in our pet-friendly housing areas. Other types of pets may be approved on a case-by-case basis by the Department of Housing and Residential Life. Service animals that are being trained are not considered pets and owners should communicate with their residential life coordinator regarding their presence in the community.
How many pets can I have?
One pet is permitted per bedroom in the designated pet-friendly housing areas. Nemec Hall residents may have one pet per room and Stetson Cove residents may have one pet per resident. Residents found with more than the approved number of pets will be charged a $150 fine, will be asked to remove the non-approved pet immediately and will be referred to the Office of Community Standards. Pregnant pets will not be approved to live on campus. We encourage that you make sure this does not happen while the pet is living on campus. Should a pet become pregnant the mother and the litter will not be permitted to stay on campus.
How do I apply to bring a pet to campus?
Once a student has selected into a pet-friendly housing option - Nemec Hall, Stetson Cove and University Village Apartments (beginning fall 2013), the student will be contacted to complete the pet housing application in order to gain approval to bring their pet to campus.

Why can't my chick stand? I own two little chicks. They live in a box with newspaper for bedding. I let them out once a day since we live in an apartment.
They are about a month old and I love them very much. We feed them rice and such since our house is full of them. Then one day, I let them out and one of them returned with injured legs. What is the problem?
Is it because a child threw sand and tried to pet them? Also, when the chick walks, she uses her wing every second for support. And, when I looked at the feet ,sure it's pointed the right way it's just that the feet isn't like flat on the ground. It looks like Toto is trying to grab the air with her feet, even when walking.
The other one is starting to lose balance but right now, he is fine. One last question, my mom is feeding them milk because she thinks it can help. (She is crazy, right?). But is it necessary? And for an extra info, SHE TRIES TO SIT ALL DAY! Please help.
First, chickens should not be living in an apartment building. This is unhealthy for them as they need fresh air and a place to exercise to be healthy. This is not a good situation for the chicks. I am shocked that the building allows people to keep chickens.
Rice and milk is not the appropriate diet for chicks. They need chick starter crumbles and special vitamins for their water. Milk is not good for them either.
They need food that is well balanced for chicks, not rice and milk. It is no wonder that they are having problems. They are starving to death. This is a major nutritional deficiency and the chicks are going to die unless they get treated better.
Any child who would throw sand at a baby chick should be reprimanded immediately. Children should also know to handle all animals carefully.
I think that you need to find a petting zoo or farm that will take in these poor chicks and nurse them back to health. Why would you get chicks if you live in an apartment anyway?

My Baby Chick Can't Stand and more baby chicks are starting to hatch. I have one that appears healthy, but cannot stand on its legs in an upright position. What can I do? It moves around but doesn't eat, and I help it to drink water. I have heard about banding legs together, will this help it to stand?
Thanks for any help.
This is a fairly common problem. First make sure that the chick is getting the nutrients that it needs to give him a chance. You first need to separate him from the others. Next you can start feeding him some vitamin water with an eye dropper.
If he has what is commonly called "straddle leg," then band-aiding the legs together like you were talking about may help.
Commonly chicks have problems getting upright the first couple of days. You need to make sure they are warm and to make sure that they get the nutrients they need, which may require you feeding them with an eye dropper.
Hope it works out for you!

The No. 8 UCLA women's tennis team will play its highest ranked opponent of the 2002 season on Tuesday when No. 4 Duke visits the Los Angeles Tennis Center for a 1:30 p.m. match.

Bruins Check in at No. 8 in Latest ITA Rankings . . .
After checking in at No. 16 in the preseason ITA Rankings and then moving up to No. 11 two weeks ago, UCLA moved up four spots to No. 7 in the latest rankings released on Feb. 27. The Bruins fell one spot to No. 8 last week following a loss to No. 10 Texas on Mar. 2. New team rankings will be released this Wednesday.

When the latest individual rankings were released on Mar. 6, Sara Walker was No. 4 in the nation and Megan Bradley checked in at No. 5. Walker and Bradley are UCLA's only 20-match winners this season, as Walker is 23-6 overall and Bradley is 21-3. UCLA is also the only school in the country to have two doubles teams in the top-5 nationally. The Bruins' top doubles team of Petya Marinova and Walker are ranked No. 3 in the country, while Bradley and Lauren Fisher are close behind at No. 5.
Freshman Phenom Megan Bradley . . .
Saying freshman Megan Bradley has made a smooth transition to college tennis would be an understatement. Currently ranked No. 5 in the nation in both singles and doubles, Bradley has played No. 1 singles for UCLA in 10 of 11 dual matches this season, posting an impressive 9-1 mark. She won her first collegiate tournament back in September, taking the singles title at the adidas Invitational. Bradley currently owns a 21-3 overall record. Prior to arriving at UCLA, she was a member of Team USA and was the No. 1 ranked player in the USTA Girls' 18s singles rankings.
Head Coach Stella Sampras . . .
Stella Sampras is currently in her sixth season as the head coach of the UCLA women's tennis program with a career record of 86-55. Sampras became only the third head coach in UCLA women's tennis history when she was named the successor to longtime head coach Bill Zaima, who announced his retirement effective the end of the 1995-96 season. In her first five seasons at UCLA, Sampras guided the Bruins to four top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships, including two top-5 showings (1997 and 2000). In 2000, she was named the ITA West Region Coach of the Year.
