By students, for alums
PLACENTIA They fought and died serving our country, attended our schools and came from our own backyards.
And one Placentia student is making sure their memories aren't forgotten.
As part of his Eagle Scout project, Andrew Binnings, 16, constructed a memorial to honor three El Dorado High School graduates, Marine Cpl. Claudio Patiño IV, Marine Staff Sgt. William Harrell and Army Sgt. Jason M. Weaver, who died while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
More than 200 people attended the Veterans Day ceremony at the school on Monday to pay tribute to the three fallen heroes and all those who've served.
Binnings, a member of Boy Scout Troop 54 and an El Dorado student himself, got the idea to memorialize the three men after noticing Patiño's name, written in chalk, kept getting erased from a wall near the Placentia school's campus last school year.
"Anyone that lives around here has seen that. It goes up and it comes down. Then it goes up again," Binnings said. "I just thought it would be cool to have something permanent to remember him, and then later, I found out there were more" service members.
He decided he wanted the memorial inside the school grounds so all students could see the sacrifice of their fellow Golden Hawks.
First, he went to El Dorado Principal Carey Cecil with his proposal, offering a detailed PowerPoint presentation that included architectural drawings and a proposed time frame. Cecil presented the idea to the school district, which approved the memorial in July.
"I am honored to work with young people like Andrew, people who respect and appreciate the freedoms others have fought to protect," she said.
The memorial features five stones in a semicircle by a 5-by-5-foot wall. Three are dedicated to Patiño, Harrell and Weaver, and two are reserved in case other El Dorado graduates die in military service.
Monday's event started with some 35 veterans marching to the ceremony area before Binnings spoke to the crowd about his inspiration for the project.
Guest speaker Marine Lt. Col. Andrew Murray conducted a roll call for the group of veterans standing in military formation. After the names of the deceased men were called to no response, Binnings and his fellow Scouts played taps.
Binnings escorted each family to their respective stones to place a bouquet of roses.
Mayor Scott Nelson, who earlier attended a Veterans Day ceremony near City Hall, said he was impressed by the work put in by those involved.
"This is phenomenal," he said. "This is by far the best one I've been to today."
Kelli Harrell, whose husband was among those honored, was similarly impressed by Binnings' work and dedication.
"It absolutely blows my mind," she said in a previous phone interview. "For this to come from a 16-year-old blows my mind – that he would think to want to honor these men like this."
William Harrell, 30, was killed in 2004 while fighting in Fallujah, where some of the fiercest battles occurred in the early stages of the Iraq War.
Evelyn Patiño, the mother of Claudio Patiño, said in the days before the ceremony that she is glad others want to keep her son's memory alive.
"I'm very appreciative that someone thought of my son," she said in Spanish through an interpreter. "I have always wanted to have a little memorial at the school."
Claudio Patiño, 22, a scout sniper who was on his third deployment to Afghanistan, was killed by small-arms fire in 2010.
The memorial's construction started in early October. The Home Depot donated concrete, plants, tools and soil. Some employees volunteered to help build the memorial.
Every weekend beginning in October, Binnings went to the school to help construct the monument, often with other teenagers helping out.
Placentia resident and Vietnam veteran Richard Garza, who attended the event, said he would like to see more young people recognizing the nation's vets.
"I wish more students would do something close to this," he said.
Patricia Weaver said before Monday's memorial she is still dealing with the loss of her 22-year-old son, Jason, who was killed in 2011 by an improvised explosive device while serving as a military policeman in Kandahar province, Afghanistan. He was her only child.
"I feel overwhelmed and touched," Weaver said. "I'm honored that someone was inspired by my son."

MOSCOW, February 1 /TASS/. Militants from Ukraine's Right Sector radical nationalist movement and Ukraine's Interior Ministry police units have attacked Ukrainian marines in an outskirt of Mariupol, a Ukrainian government-controlled city on the Azov Sea, Eduard Basurin, a spokesperson for the Defense Ministry of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), said on Monday referring to intelligence data obtained by the republic's intelligence service.
"On January 28, a group of Right Sector militants jointly with Ukraine's Interior Ministry police units attacked a column of the 36th marine brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. One armored personnel carrier and two trucks were destroyed in the fight that followed. There were dead and wounded from both sides. Police and army leaders arrived at the scene," the Donetsk News Agency quoted Basurin as saying.
According to the DPR Defense Ministry, Right Sector provocateurs had organized the attack. They had wrongly informed the police headquarters that the DPR forces had allegedly broken the line of contact in the Mariupol direction.
"Nikolai Poboiny, the head of the Mariupol national police department of Ukraine's Interior Ministry, issued a personal order to set up an ambush. For the moment, the army and law enforcement bosses are doing everything to prevent the fact from leaking into the media. The wounded soldiers have been taken to hospitals in the country's central regions," Basurin added.
The DPR Defense Ministry has reported numerous clashes among various Ukrainian army and law enforcement units in Donbass. Shooting incidents between servicemen of the Ukrainian armed forces and various voluntary units have been reported in the directions of Gorlovka, Donetsk and Mariupol.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated.

Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

I don't wanna rant on here and be off-topic, but I greatly respect all u guys and value your feedback so I'll make it brief.
Maybe the depression is a side effect from feeling a 'disconnection' from the world lately. Anxiety has been very high lately, can't even bring myself to walk in a store or hang out with people. Can't even get on here sometimes, the exposure is overwhelming. I'm between jobs and cannot afford psych treatment. Things just seem to be spiraling out of control lately and I don't know what to do anymore.
That's all, starting to tear up a bit here. If you have advice or moral support, feel free to inbox me :)
apologies to anybody offended for getting off the solar track there.
Bro'...You need to know you can talk to any of the regulars you know on this thread about anything,I'm sorry you are feeling it so hard at the moment,I get similar due to the BPness' - All I can say is you got to ride it through,try and learn coping mechanisms even though they can take time to learn,mate,I used to be so,so Ill in the head as I went through 2 whole Years of a Psychosis,lol,I was literally scared of the Horizon and all sorts of messed up - Feel free to message me any time you want Brother

Glamourous Madonna has taken up the role of a simple housewife for the new Dolce and Gabbana ad.
In the new ad campaign, pop queen is seen preparing vegetables and tucking into a plate of pasta with her hands, sitting on top of a kitchen work surface.
The pictures feature in this month's Vanity Fair Italy, which has a preview of the fashion label's spring/summer 2010 collection.
Designer Stefano Gabbana insists that the Material Girl indeed take on domestic chores in her home, despite having both the money and the staff.
"Certainly...she's a very practical woman," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.
The D&G new collection is inspired by Italian neorealism cinema, something Gabbana says Madonna knows all about.

YUVsoft Corp. (
www.yuvsoft.com), developers of 2D-to-stereo 3D conversion and production software solutions, has announced the immediate availability of the Render Version of its 2D to 3D Suite for Nuke. YUVsoft 2D to 3D Suite for Nuke is a family of stereo 3D conversion plug-in software tools designed to support the conversion workflow in The Foundry Nuke environment. The newly launched Render Version is designed for those Nuke customers with render licenses and who are engaged in large-scale depth propagation and stereo 3D generation.
"We created the Render Version of our 2D to 3D Suite for Nuke primarily to give our customers options. We understand that, for some of our users who are generating large volumes of stereo 3D content in render farms, they may not need all the capabilities of our complete suite," said Dmitriy Vatolin, CEO of YUVsoft. "One of the most compelling affects of our technology is that the automated and accelerated workflow saves 3D artists considerable time and money. The Render Version of this suite goes even further, enabling them to batch render at significantly reduced cost — in many cases, with up to 50% savings."
Today, the Render Version of 2D to 3D Suite is available immediately and for The Foundry Nuke platform only. The Render Version offers uses the same functionality as the full version, however without support for the Nuke GUI mode. Existing projects (made in the GUI version of Nuke) can be rendered, or scripts can be executed in the same way, and without making any changes to the workflow. Because of Nuke's scripting engine, it is also possible to complete practically any processing from scratch in the terminal mode, but without access to visual tools available in the full suite, such as the universal depth brush.
The Render Version of the 2D to 3D Suite for NUKE is available immediately on the Windows platform.

HANOVER, Germany, Sept 3 The example of Portugal shows that the euro zone's economic adjustment programmes are working as the Southern European country will swing to a primary surplus in 2013, Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Monday.
Schaeuble added that Greece, where the economic reform programme attached to its double-bailout has stalled, should not be the only measure of performance for the currency union's ability to fight its sovereign debt crisis.

Papers submitted to this Journal for publication are considered on condition that they have been neither submitted elsewhere, nor published elsewhere other than in abstract form. The Editors do not enter into correspondence about papers considered unsuitable for publication; their decision is final. Requirements for publication in the Journal are in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors' Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals [ICMJE, 2007].
The Therapeutic Advances series adheres to a blinded peer review process in which the reviewers' names are routinely withheld from the author unless a reviewer requests a preference for his or her identity to be revealed. Authors are invited to suggest the names, affiliations and contact information of up to six individuals who may be suitable to serve as referees, but the Editors are under no obligation to use all or any of these individuals as reviewers. All manuscripts are reviewed initially by the Editors and only those papers that meet the scientific and editorial standards of the journal, and fit within the aims and scope of the journal, will be sent for outside review. Each research article and review manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, and a first editorial decision is generally reached within 3 weeks of submission.
8. Journal contributor's publishing agreement
Before publication SAGE requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor's Publishing Agreement. SAGE's Journal Contributor's Publishing Agreement is an exclusive licence agreement which means that the author retains copyright in the work but grants SAGE the sole and exclusive right and licence to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than SAGE. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society. For more information please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.
9. Declaration of conflicting interests
Within your Journal Contributor's Publishing Agreement you will be required to make a certification with respect to a declaration of conflicting interests. It is the policy of the Therapeutic Advances series to require a declaration of conflicting interests from all authors enabling a statement to be carried within the paginated pages of all published articles.
Please include any declaration at the end of your manuscript after any acknowledgements and prior to the references, under a heading 'Declaration of Conflicting Interests'. If no declaration is made the following will be printed under this heading in your article: 'None Declared'. Alternatively, you may wish to state that 'The Author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest'.
When making a declaration the disclosure information must be specific and include any financial relationship that all authors of the article has with any sponsoring organization and the for-profit interests the organization represents, and with any for-profit product discussed or implied in the text of the article.
Any commercial or financial involvements that might represent an appearance of a conflict of interest need to be additionally disclosed in the covering letter accompanying your article to assist the Editor in evaluating whether sufficient disclosure has been made within the Declaration of Conflicting Interests provided in the article.
For more information please visit the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.
Authors should declare whether or not they had assistance with study design, data collection, data analysis, or manuscript preparation. If such assistance was available, the authors should disclose the identity of the people that provided this assistance and the entity that supported it in the published article. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged.
Therapeutic Advances in Neurological Disorders and SAGE take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article, for example, is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article; taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; or taking appropriate legal action.
To comply with the guidance for Research Funders, Authors and Publishers issued by the Research Information Network (RIN), the Therapeutic Advances series additionally requires all Authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. All research articles should have a funding acknowledgement in the form of a sentence as follows, with the funding agency written out in full, followed by the grant number in square brackets:
This work was supported by the Medical Research Council [grant number xxx].
Multiple grant numbers should be separated by comma and space. Where the research was supported by more than one agency, the different agencies should be separated by semi-colon, with "and" before the final funder. Thus:
This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Natural Environment Research Council [grant number zzzz]; and the Economic and Social Research Council [grant number aaaa].
In some cases, research is not funded by a specific project grant, but rather from the block grant and other resources available to a university, college or other research institution. Where no specific funding has been provided for the research we ask that corresponding authors use the following sentence:
This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
Please include this information under a separate heading entitled "Funding" directly after any other Acknowledgements prior to your "Declaration of Conflicting Interests" (if applicable), any Notes and your References.
Important note: If you have any concerns that the provision of this information may compromise your anonymity dependent on the peer review policy of this journal outlined above, you can withhold this information until final accepted manuscript.
For more information on the guidance for Research Funders, Authors and Publishers, please visit: http://www.rin.ac.uk/funders-acknowledgement
Authors are required to ensure the following guidelines are followed, as recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals. Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information, including patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that a patient who is identifiable be shown the manuscript to be published. Authors should identify Individuals who provide writing assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance. Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, however, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning and editors should so note.
When informed consent has been obtained it should be indicated in the submitted article.
14. Permissions
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission from copyright holders for reproducing any illustrations, tables, figures or lengthy quotations previously published elsewhere. For further information including guidance on fair dealing for criticism and review, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.

Close to the parkPosted Apr 6, 2016
Pros: It was close to the park and we really like to have Internet access in the room
Cons: I hope they can have more breakfast room and shampo in the bath
Location: Location isn't so good or quality but it is close to the park
We stayed 1 night. On the reception the lady help me ( I don't really remember her name but I think it was Mona or something like that and she was look like an Indian) to get non smoking room because my husband mistakenly reserved smoking one. She helped immediately and it was so helpful.

Clean & basicPosted Mar 21, 2016 on Hotels
Quick overnight stay for a conference; room was updated and spotless! Wifi was easy to connect to, and worked well. Only thing I didn't like was the very overstuffed pillows--couldn't get comfortable because they pushed my head forward too much. Did not have the breakfast, but it was available.

Not worth the savingsPosted Mar 14, 2016 on Hotels
I want to start out saying that the front desk lady did all she could. The hotel review is in no means a refection of her! With that being said, DO NOT stay here! Our first room did not have a working tv. We were then moved to another room. This room was about 80 degrees and did not cool down for the hour that we sat and waited for the ac to begin working. We then asked to be moved again. The third room was slightly cooler, but still very hot. The ac unit was literally falling apart. The walls also were dirty. It was not a pleasant experience. We left after trying the third room. It is unfortunate that I tried to stay here just to save a few bucks but then ended up spending a lot more to stay somewhere decent at 10pm.

Pros: We liked that it was close to the Meadow Event Park which is why we stayed there for us to be able to go their Xmas light show.
Cons: Needs carpets updated & better food selection.
Location: The only thing nearby was the Meadow Event Park.
The lady at checkin was very friendly. The hotel didn't show up on GPS so that was disappointing. The carpets thru out need to be replaced. The free breaksfast didn't have alot to choose from so that was greatly disappointing.

Manhattan In Miami
A recent mixology competition put a new twist on a classic favorite
The next time you visit your favorite bar, ask yourself one thing before you order a cocktail. Are you a purist or a radical?
Not sure? Think about how you like your Manhattan. Do you prefer a classic interpretation that's true in form and free from influence or do you enjoy an innovative variation?
Most bartenders in Miami's flush cocktail community support the freedom to deviate from original pre-Prohibition recipes. With a combination of whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters, the Manhattan represents an early definition of a cocktail in general and has maintained a high level of respect since the late 1800s.
The simplicity of the Manhattan lends itself to an opportunity for creativity that is hard for modern mixologists to resist. Bartenders, like most artists, enjoy complicating things with experimental concepts based on, well, just about anything.
One of the first departures from the norm was to replace straight rye whiskey with its cousin, bourbon, for a subtle sweetness. And that's the route many top mixologists take today.
Woodford Reserve, a super-premium small batch bourbon, and Esquire magazine challenge bartenders across the country each year to put their twist on the classic Manhattan cocktail. The bourbon's distinct flavor notes and smoothness allow for modifications that complement and contrast with ease.
Nick Nistico, the winner of the third annual "Manhattan Experience" in Miami in mid-October, stood out with a recipe that combines a whole lot of bourbon, a cognac-based liqueur, ginger syrup, sweet vermouth and two different kinds of bitters that add a powerful citrus essence to the nose.
Nistico is relatively new to the cocktail scene and, while he respects the traditions of his bartending forefathers, he's more inclined to experiment in order to make a drink "his."
Served up with a refreshing orange oil garnish that almost fills the room, this drink and Nistico will represent Miami at the finals in New York in January 2012.
"When a variation of a classic is done well, it's great," said Nistico, who bartends at Mojo Lounge in Fort Lauderdale. "It's important for me, however, to put a spin on things. It's the drive that keeps me going behind the bar."
Even the master distiller of Woodford Reserve likes to get playful. Instead of the conventional dark and sweet composition of the classic, Chris Morris opts for light and sweet by adding Limocello, orange bitters and a twist of lemon.
Morris says the innovative spirit in general is a reaction to two decades of effortless vodka drinks that saturated the market.
Ezra Pattek is slightly more old school. He's a bartender at Sra. Martinez in the Design District and he sits on the board of the local chapter of the United States Bartenders' Guild (USBG). Through his involvement with the USBG, which is the largest network of professional bartenders, Pattek and his colleagues foster Miami's tight-knit community of masterful mixologists.
Pattek won the Woodford semifinals in Miami in 2010 and generally prefers the classics the way they're intended to be.
"The culture has evolved so much that I'm now more open to the opportunity to try new things. Any time I have the opportunity to walk into a bar where a bartender knows how to create a variation on a classic, I will definitely go," said Pattek.
And so should you. No matter which school of thought you come from, there's a bartender who will make it happen for you in Miami. You just have to know what you want and how to ask for it.
Meet Nick at Mojo Lounge, 4140 N. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale; 954-586-4443
Go classic with Ezra at Sra. Martinez, 4000 NE 2nd Ave., Miami; 305-573-5474

Exploring New Nepomuk Features in Mandriva
You have probably heard of Nepomuk, the semantic desktop technology we've been shipping for a while as part of the KDE Platform. However, so far, you may not have noticed it really doing very much useful for you. So what is this thing called Nepomuk, what can it do for us now and what will it bring us in the future? We asked two of the driving forces behind Nepomuk, Stéphane Laurière and Sebastian Trüg of Mandriva, to tell us about the real Nepomuk features that are already available in KDE software and those that have been introduced with Mandriva Linux 2010.
An overview of the current status
So, where are we at with Nepomuk now, compared to where we want to be? Stéphane explains that "Nepomuk initially aimed at two main achievements: 1) the ability to interlink data semantically on the desktop across the applications, 2) the ability to share semantic information with other desktops". The first is "getting mature from the infrastructure point of view" and he believes that Mandriva Linux 2010 gives a good insight into the improvements it can bring to the user, but much remains to be done. The design of the framework for the second main objective started only recently: "a workshop took place in Freiburg early November and resulted in a first draft of the Nepomuk Sharing Ontology, and in a set of sharing use cases". Ultimately, it should be possible to share semantic information everywhere from mobile handsets to enterprise servers so that "the sky's the limit".
Nepomuk is already there in ways that you hardly notice - when you tag an image in Dolphin that tag is also visible in Gwenview. Obvious right? Well of course, but that is Nepomuk in action behind the scenes.

Xiaomi Redmi Pro launched – Everything you need to know
Xiaomi is well known for their range of affordable smartphones and tablets, and the company continues to grow their device portfolio with some great options. After much anticipation, Xiaomi has finally taken the wraps off their latest smartphone offering at a launch event in Beijing earlier today. Here's everything we know about the Xiaomi Redmi Pro! The Redmi Pro features a full metal unibody construction with a brushed metal finish, and up front is a 2.5D glass that covers the 5.5-inch Full HD OLED display. The change to OLED, from the usually standard in this price range IPS LCD, is a nice touch, and should provide a more vivid and pleasing viewing experience.
