I'm a digital strategy creative who is fluent in tech. I've got 13 years beneath me as a new media designer, but my early kung-fu training was computer science. L33t meets letterpress. I geek out with both art directors and developers daily.
My current focus is online marketing and branding. I lead digital culture and strategy for Grady Britton. BizDev? Yup, that's me in the pitch. In-the-trenches-from-the-hip hackery with my team to launch a project on time? Oh yes, that's me at the whiteboard.
I believe that complexity needn't be complicated. I enjoy taking complex concepts and making them approachable for users, clients, and developers.
I'd probably spend a 25th hour bathed in UX and IxD. I am constantly generating sketches and wireframes. Diagrams are my preferred language. I love elegant design with purpose. I love clean, commented code.
Once, I was a musician and DJ. Then, I was an audio engineer, no wait, a video editor. Then, a graphic designer.
I keep a Flickr photostream of UX and IxD images.
Sometimes, I give talks on online presence, pragmatic social media marketing, and web design.
I am passionate about elegant, intuitive, efficient, and uniquely bold projects.

Everyone has something to say about Michael Bay. Even if you don't watch his movies, you probably have an opinion of him, and that's not something you can say about many directors in Hollywood. But what do Michael Bay's actual peers think about him?
GQ gathered together dozens of quotes from friends, family, and fellow filmmakers like Steven Spielberg, Will Smith, George Lucas, James Cameron, and Shia LaBeouf to pool together a highly amusing portrait of the bombastic director.
We have in turn pulled out some of our favorites below and separated them into categories:
Praise for Bayhem
Gabrielle Union: You know when people talk about the very first time they did drugs? Being in a Michael Bay movie was like my drug. It's like I'm chasing the dragon—I've been chasing that experience ever since.
Will Smith: My first impression of Michael was that he was like…you know how at the go-kart races, there's always one kid who's got real wheels on his go-kart and everybody else got the plastic baby wheels? That one kid who always had it elevated? That was Michael. I think he had just done the Meat Loaf video—this guy had a plane crash in a music video. I was like, Damn.
Robert Consing (Visual consultant on Pearl Harbor): One day, I was on the way to meeting with Michael on a battleship at Ford Island. Complete Bayhem. I passed a squadron of Zeros chasing two P-40 fighter planes forty feet above the deck, guns blazing, followed by the camera ship. Then watched fireballs exploding on a nearby frigate as burning stuntmen leaped into the water. Then saw another Zero come around and buzz our battleship as Cuba Gooding Jr. fired back with a .50 caliber fifteen feet over my head. It wasn't even 10 a.m.
Steven Spielberg: I couldn't think of a better director to turn a truck into a robot and make us believe it was really happening.
Back-Handed Compliments
George Lucas: Michael's films are immediately identifiable.
Jeanine Basinger (Bay's film professor, Wesleyan University): I always tell my husband, "My tombstone is going to say, 'She taught Michael Bay.' "
Shia LaBeouf: Mike is a vulnerable guy. He's the guy who laughs at a joke, then asks you why it's funny.
Shia LaBeouf: He's not at all this alpha male, this machismo legend s**t—he's not any of these things. You know what he is? New York. If you can make it on a Bay set, you can make it on any set.
Yep, That Makes Total Sense
Brad Fuller (producing partner): The first time I saw Michael on a bigger set, he was doing a video, and there was the hottest blonde girl I've ever seen in my life, and she's got a wind machine on her. She's dancing, she looks hot, she's wearing a short skirt. He's shooting her from a low angle. And he looked at a few of us, and there was this look in his eyes, like he had reached nirvana. It was childlike wonderment.
Roger Barton (editor): My wife tries to limit my outings with him.
Michael Bay: Some nights I sleep like a baby. Other nights it's, Oh God, I just came up with a bomb shot.
Scarlett Johansson: I ran into him leaving a party once and asked him if I could be the Easy-Bake Oven Transformer. He looked at me in all seriousness and said, "There isn't one."
And then there's this hilarious exchange, regarding a particularly nasty moment between Bay and LaBeouf on the Transformers: Dark of the Moon set.
Michael Bay: She sent me a text three months ago. She said "I hope you're doing well." I responded, "Who is this?" She goes, "Megan, you dork!" I said, "Oh, well, thank you, hope you're well." When you're days and months on a set, it's like a family. You say rude things and you make up. Like, we were shooting a scene in front of the space shuttle and Shia called me a "c**ksucker."
Shia LaBeouf: Sometimes to make [a scene] real for me, I need to mindf**k myself. And part of that is having a speaker on set with an iPod plugged in so I can conjure emotions. And some of the songs that I like to play, Mike's not going to have it.
Michael Bay: So Shia's gonna do his emotional scene. He gets out of his car and says, "Michael, you're gonna start with me first." And I said, "No, we're gonna start this way. This is a space shuttle! The United States of America! The last one to be launched!"
Shia LaBeouf: So I'm playing my song and he finally says to me, "No, we're not going to play that song." And he puts on some orchestral Batman soundtrack s**t. Not for me, you know?
Michael Bay: Then he called me a "c**ksucker." But I knew that he had just broken up with his girlfriend. So I didn't go after him. I just said, "That's rude. Don't call me that."
Head over to GQ for more hilarious quotes about Michael Bay. Also, did you know Bay directed the original Got Milk? commercial?

The Global Post's talks with Nokia (NOK) employees finds them to be demoralized, bitter, and speculating over whether CEO Stephen Elop is a Microsoft (MSFT) mole. Matt Rosoff takes the story as evidence Nokia employees, some of whom mocked Apple (AAPL) as a "California fruit company" even as of 2011, are still in denial.

I worked with Nokia for 4 years and this sentiment does not surprise me in the least. It is also very typical of companies who have been at the top of their particular market and fall from grace. It takes a very significant event to get them to see the new 'way of things'. I guess this has not happened for these folks at Nokia. They still hold significant market share, they are just not the infallible market leaders in all things mobile as they once were.

This week, we saw both the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve deliver massive amounts of stimulus to the markets.
The ECB is now backed by the 500 billion euro European Stability Mechanism facility, which has been ratified by the German parliament. This is a game-changer for Europe, as now it is finally moving toward a federalist system, similar to the one in the United States. This measure has been successful in bringing down the bond yields for Spain, Italy and Ireland to a very manageable level. And it is likely that those central banks might not even need to tap the ESM.
The big surprise this week, however, came from the Federal Reserve.
The Fed has decided to go all-out in fueling the next massive asset bubbles through its QE3 bazooka. The Fed announced plans to buy $40 billion worth of mortgage securities per month on an open-ended basis, while continuing to reinvest its income from the securities purchased during QE1 and QE2.
The following statement from the Fed shows its clear intent to support its mandate of full employment. But I fail to see how it will manage to do that "in the context of price stability" while creating asset price inflation through unabashed QE programs.
If the outlook for the labor market does not improve substantially, the Committee will continue its purchases of agency mortgage-backed securities, undertake additional asset purchases, and employ its other policy tools as appropriate until such improvement is achieved in a context of price stability.
This new move by the Fed is unleashing massive amounts of money into the risk assets. Markets will now believe that, between the ECB and the Fed, all tail risks to the markets have gone.
In other words, this could mean that all the money that was hiding in the safety of U.S. Treasuries will now leave the Treasury markets and flow into equities and commodities.
If so, I would not be surprised to see a parabolic move into year-end in both gold and equities that could take the S&P 500 to 1,650 and gold to $2,000 per troy ounce by year-end.
Now here is the dangerous side to this equation. This rally will also lead oil and grains to new highs, which will results in higher gas prices at the pump and food prices at the grocery store. While employment and wages are still low, this will hurt the working class.
This massive and irresponsible Fed stimulus package by Ben Bernanke & Co. will make the rich richer by fueling their asset portfolios and bringing loads of misery to the poor, who will find it harder to make ends meet.
Besides the poor, this latest move also declares war on the retirees or those who subsist on fixed income returns from bonds. With the Fed's monetary policy stuck at zero for another three years at least and more Federal money creating artificial demand for fixed income assets, yields will not rise for quite a while. This means that the coupons on newly issued government and agency bonds will be stuck at below inflation rates.
Another debilitating aspect of the latest round of QE is that by removing coupon generating bonds from the monetary system, it reduces the amount of money in the economy, thus reducing aggregate demand.
In summary, QE will reduce net savings of U.S. dollar holders and increase paper wealth in terms of higher equity market valuations.
While the initial reaction of the markets has been to sell the U.S. dollar, fewer U.S. dollars as a result of QE will result in the dollar eventually rallying hard, especially against the EUR. My target will be around 1.3500 before EUR/USD starts heading back down towards parity.

WNC boy, 7, bitten 60 times by dog
Published: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 10:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 10:39 p.m.
SYLVA, N.C. (AP) The mother of a 7-year-old boy says her son was mauled by a dog and suffered 60 bites to his neck, throat and face and can't talk because of a punctured voice box.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reported Sunday that Dalton Mathis remained in critical but stable condition at Mission Hospital, where officials weren't available for further comment Sunday evening.
Jennifer Roberts says Dalton arrived home from school Thursday afternoon, dropped off his book bag and went back outside before a 100-pound Shar-Pei-chow mix attacked him. Roberts says the dog had broken free from its chain.
State Highway Patrol troopers and Jackson County sheriff's deputies tried to keep the dog contained for animal control officers before the deputies had to shoot it.
Roberts says Dalton will need several surgeries.

There's an issue that would allow local communities to partner with companies to provide health care services. In this voter guide we look at Referendum B.
Paying for health care is a constant struggle for many families. And in smaller towns, medical centers also struggle to survive. Referendum B allows communities to start up or keep these facilities running. Yet it protects towns from going into debt because of the partnership.
Supporters say this referendum would expand the range of health care services available in communities such as hospice care, emergency clinics, mobile mammography units and surgical centers. And they say it could generate revenue and jobs for towns -- especially those in rural areas.
Opponents say local governments should not risk taxpayer money by investing in private companies. It could open up conflict of interest questions. Plus, the interests of these partnerships may not always be to the public's benefit.

This is so easy to prepare and delicious to eat! I used chicken tenderloins and cut them in half. Cooked them on the George Foreman grill for about 3-4 mins. They were nice and tender. Thanks for posting. Made in honor of Sharon's DH.
Yummmmy...this was SO delicious! I used chicken stock and fresh ginger and basil in my version and marinated overnight,before cooking the strips on an indoor electric chargrill hotplate. They turned out beautifully tender and packed full of flavour...and tasted a little like a chicken version of Chinese Char Siu,which in my household (I'm half Chinese!) is no bad thing! We served it on top of a fresh,crisp salad,and enjoyed it no end. Thank you Sharon,for a fabulously tasty and simple recipe,that I will be using again!!

"Oh." Purple swallowed, then turned his head slightly. "Why?"
"She wasisa surprisingly decorated soldier," Red said, aware that this didn't really answer Purple's question. "I mean, combat scores were kind of low, but she was an expert in engineering and infiltration. That's why we sent her to Meekrob, remember? It's almost impossible to get past their energy readings...it's amazing that she managed to blend in as long as she did."

As long as he doesn't endorse Romney, he should expect no, and get no support to pay off his campaign debts, either from Romney's campaign, or the superpacs and others who support Romney for President. In this case, there SHOULD be a quid pro quo. I wouldn't give Sanctimonious Santorum a cent without something of value in return. He dissed Romney. He may miss Romney, his money, and the money of Romney's supports, IMO.

Former Senator Santorum may take a few more days to come around to endorsing Governor Romney. But he will come around. He loves America too much to be a thorn in anyone's side in the Republican effort to steer the country in a direction different from its path of the last three and one-half years. To make up for the slack during the next-ensuing two weeks (before the Pennsylvania primary), Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is not a former, lost-by-18-points senator, but one of two presently-sitting senators from the Commonwealth, has endorsed Mr. Romney. Once Pennsylvania speaks its voice (in favor of Mr. Romney), then Mr. Santorum, healed by time and circumstance, will step forward and urge Republicans to support Mr. Romney as the "anyone-but-Obama" candidate of "choice" (pun intended, I suppose, though inapplicable, really).

Boy, the Chicago Tribune sure isn't taking sides in this race, is it? As far as they are concerned, President Obama stamped his ticket for a second term already and is just waiting for the coronation ceremony... er, swearing in.

Santorum never had a chance. I'm always amused at social conservatives who
want the government telling people what to do in their bedrooms. The vast
majority of women taking birth control pills are MARRIED. Santorum said that
birth control eliminates the purpose of sex and people do it only for pleasure.
This is old-time Catholicism. The celibate Pope and priests preach this, but few
American Catholics listen.
Of course Santorum also wants to overturn Row vs Wade, which will never happen. And of course, phony scientific religions like Evolution and Climate Change needs to be outlawed, too.
Next to Santorum, Romney looks like an intelligent and capable guy. Until he opens his mouth. Sigh. Voting for Obama this year, guys. The GOP is off the rails.

I originally set up my website with 2 installations of WordPress, one in the root and the other in /blog. That didn't really work out for me, so I recently merged the 2 together, but now jetpack lite stats have stopped working and I wondered if there was a way to fix it?
How can I "reset" to now collect statistics for my entire site and at the same time, hopefully, merge my historic stats from the 2 installations together and include them in my on running total. Any help anyone can give would be really appreciated.

Leonardo by monstrous64Watch
©2012-2016 monstrous64
Leonardo down and on to Mikey
ok this version does some justice to the turtle characters in general because the designs are anthropomorphic, but their faces let you know they're still turtles! and not just like a photoshopped turtle's face onto a green man's body, but like a turtle's skull evolved and adapted to be highly intelligent without taking on the shape of a human's head (or evolving some weird pair of lips like the michael bay version) and it actually looks GOOD too, no one seems to appreciate that, you did a great job here with this thing
I think thats raph with leonardo's weapon you don't know your ninja turtles.
Originally all of the ninja turtles had red masks. They gave them all different color masks once they did the cartoon to make it easier for kids to tell them apart.
Leo's mask is supposed to be blue. Are you sure this isn't Raphael? Great work otherwise.
The original Eastman and Laird's turtles all wore red.
Ahh, thank you for telling me. I didn't know.
I much prefer them with the different colors.
They look really cool that way. (:
I much prefer them with the different colors.
They look really cool that way. (:
Really cool!! I love it
original series was gory and had tits and they were red masked!
one of the best TMNT i'v seen on here
Your redesigns are incredible! I can't wait for the next one Are you planning on doing one with all 4 together?
In the original comic they all had red masks. Thanks for the praise though.

I've vnc-java running on an Ubuntu box, with the IP address 192.168.1.68, using port 5800 (because port 5900 is being used for normal VNC).
If I connect to 192.168.1.68:5800 using another computer on the network, I can use VNC fine.
Using www.whatismyip.com, I find out what my IP address from the outside world is, and if I go directly to that, I get to access my modem/router. If I try to navigate to that IP address, with ':5800' on the end, I get a "This web page is not available." error.
I have port forwarding set up in the router as follows:

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Steve Holcomb picked the perfect time to send a message.
Holcomb and his crew of Justin Olsen, Steven Langton and Curt Tomasevicz dominated the World Cup four-man bobsled race Sunday at Mount Van Hoevenberg, beating three-sled teams from Germany and Russia. The victory moved Holcomb into second in the four-man and combined WC standings behind Manuel Machata of Germany midway through the season.
And Holcomb did it nursing a hamstring injury on a frigid Adirondack Mountain morning.
"It feels pretty good, especially the way the last two weeks have gone," said Holcomb, who won the season opener at Whistler, then finished fifth at Calgary and sixth at Park City a week ago. "It was nice to come back today and actually put a full day of racing together.
"The Germans came over here and kind of dominated on our turf, and that's not cool," he said. "We need to fix that for next year, especially leading up to the worlds here. It's nice to send them off home thinking, 'Oh shoot, Holcomb's back. When he gets healthy again, he's going to be a force to be reckoned with."
Holcomb finished the two-heat race in 1 minute, 48.01 seconds to beat Maximilian Arndt of Germany by 0.58 seconds at Mount Van Hoevenberg. Lyndon Rush of Canada won the bronze.
Holcomb, who said it felt like "winning a marathon by an hour and a half," dominated the first run in USA1, posting the best start time and nearly eclipsing the track record. He finished the first heat in 53.70 seconds, just 0.03 off the track record set in November 2003 by Andre Lange of Germany and 0.47 ahead of Rush.
Machata finished sixth, while Alexsandr Zubkov of Russia, second in the four-man standings entering the race, was disqualified for being underweight on the first run.
John Napier continued his comeback with a seventh-place finish with his crew of Jesse Beckom, Colin Campbell and Laszlo Vandracsek in USA2. Napier, who returned in mid-November from a tour of duty with the Vermont National Guard in Afghanistan, had trouble at the start of his first run when one of his crew members slipped getting into the sled, then drove a clean second run.
Still, the ringing cowbells and cheers from his fans, including members of his unit, made it a memorable day for the affable slider who lives a stone's throw from the Lake Placid track.
"I definitely don't think I deserve it, but I appreciate it," said Napier, who turned 24 in early December. "There's people here that have done a lot more than I have. Now, I get to go home and sleep in my bed. It's been a long time since I did that."
Before Napier left the mountain for some egg nog and a dip in his new hot tub, he gave war buddies Matt Hefner of Pittsfield, Vt., and Eric Duncan of Northfield, Vt., a ride down the track. It was another step in readjusting to normal life.
"There's a significant transition period," said Duncan, who has done three tours in Afghanistan. "The culmination of that will take months before he kind of blends the life that he had there and the life he has here. The competitive nature and the stress that's involved in what he's doing as a bobsledder in the beginning is going to give him a great ability to transition and put his energy into. That will actually help him.
"One of the problems that a lot of service members find when they come back is just a feeling of a loss of importance, a loss of drive or direction in their life. John has that here."
Holcomb, the four-man Olympic gold medalist at Whistler last February, was surprised at the small field. Only the top teams made the trip, a sign of both economics and the year after an Olympiad.
"It was really strange," said Holcomb, who was headed to Colorado Springs for rehab work on his injury. "I thought they made a mistake on the board. I was like, 'Where's the rest of the field?' "

Mic-O-Mic: Design to play with
I couldn't resist buying German toys at the Munich airport on the way home. Even if they are for toddlers and up… i was fascinated by the way the connectors work on the Mic-O-Mic building systems and when i couldn't decide which to get to try it out, i bought four - a little boat, car, helicopter, and seaplane. And they are awesome! Solid plastic. Ok to toss in the water. They are connected by little plastic pegs that perfectly fit and rubbery eye mask like pieces that allow a nice flexibility to connections. They even come with a tweezer like tool made of the pieces themselves to pinch-remove or push-hammer in the pegs with. Nice simple graphical pictures to diagram how to assemble each as well, and for the more creative ones, they have extra pieces and are all modular enough to mix and match. Take a peek at the sets on the next page!
p.s. yes, i built these on the bed in my jetlaggedness…

A romantic and relaxing getaway in a cliffside coastal setting.
Perched 1,200 feet above the sea, this inn blends into the hillsides of Big Sur. It was built in the 1970s by producer Lawrence A. Spector, who used the money he made from the movie, "Easy Rider." No two rooms are alike, and accommodations are spread out over a number of buildings. Common amenities in all rooms include: oceanview terraces, wet bars and wood-burning fireplaces. Around the property, there are romantic pathways, two Japanese-style Jacuzzis, a spa, a fitness center and two swimming pools. The bathhouse also features a number of "clothing-optional" areas. The Restaurant at Ventana incorporates local ingredients into fresh California cuisine.

Residential Property Prices in Central, Eastern and Southeastern European Countries
The large movements in residential property prices in emerging markets observed over the past decade have raised interest in housing market developments. Within a cointegration framework applied to an unbalanced panel, we assess the relationship between residential property price developments, economic fundamentals and transition-specific factors in Central, Eastern and Southeastern European (CESEE) EU countries from 1999 to 2011.2 Our results show that demand-side fundamentals (disposable income, population, interest rates) and transition-specific factors related to housing demand (such as funding through remittances and credit growth) as well as construction costs on the supply side have been particularly important in residential property price movements. Nevertheless, these factors cannot fully explain residential property price movements, i.e. we find evidence that house prices moved above the level indicated by those factors in the years preceding the crisis. The sharp correction of residential property prices that took place following the outbreak of the financial crisis reversed these overshoots and brought house prices back to – and in some countries even below – the level indicated by the explanatory factors. This suggests that residential property prices are likely to rebound somewhat when economic conditions improve.

My Product thumbnail image size in Woocommerce in Twenty Fourteen Theme is small just 105px each, I have tried increasing the thumbnail to 200px but nothing happens, I have also tried taking out a column reducing from 4 to 3 or even 2.
The whole thing seem constricted by the overall width allowed, I have look in Twenty Fourteen style.css and found a few items in size around the overall 4 column width of 474px and I have tried increasing these but nothing happens. It seem there is an overall width restriction, but which isn't there on a normal blog page, just on woocommerce pages.
I've looked in Firefox with Figbug but can't find anything.
The template works well on my smartphone when it's in 2 columns.
Does anyone know what controls this?

Make your own bokeh-effect photos in a very simple way.
"Bokeh" comes from the Japanese word "boke" (暈け or ボケ) which means blur or haze. The English word "bokeh" has to do with the aesthetics of out-of-focus points of light. Different types of lenses may render different qualities of bokeh, so if you own an SLR or DSLR, experiment! With this project, you can create an effect where the out-of-focus point-source lights in your pictures appear any shape you want.
Measure the diameter of the front of the lens where you'll be able to place the circle of paper. Set your compass to draw circles of this size. If the diameter of the front of the lens is 50mm, set the compass to a 25mm radius.
Cut out the circle using scissors, but leave a tab hanging off of it that you can use as a handle.
Use your knife to cut out any shape you want in the paper. Try to make it fairly small and centered.
I chose an S, but you can do anything you desire. You could even do more complicated things.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
Suggested Strategies for Remedying Missed Petition for Review Deadlines or Filings in the Wrong Court
This Practice Advisory addresses situations in which a court might excuse a late-filed petition for review and discusses other administrative and federal court options for remedying the failure to timely file a petition for review. The advisory also provides an overview of 28 U.S.C. § 1631, which authorizes courts to transfer a case to cure a lack of jurisdiction when an action is filed in the wrong federal court.

That's like saying you've been an upstanding, law-abiding citizen for the past 30 years, but a few weeks ago you robbed a bank and now the cops arrested you.
Like everyone else said, a bounced check isn't really a minor detail that GE should ignore.

Hi to everyone, I m planning a 3 days trip (12/08 to 14/08) on the beautiful mountains of the Triglav National Park. If there is anyone who wants to join me or will hike the same trails..he/she is welcome!!!!!
I will be visiting Slovenia in September.
The day of my departure, I will be flying out from Jose Pucnik at 6:45am to Paris CDG.
Should I stay the night in Ljubiajana and take a taxi very early in the morning (around 4:30am)or should I sleep in the nearest hotel from the airport?
I wish I could take a shuttle but from the city center at 4:30 there ain't (too early). :(
I really want to make sure to be there on time at least 1 hour in advance (5:30am).
Thanks a lot in advance for your…

Thank you!
Morning travellers!
I am planning a 2 week trip in Slovenia with a detour into Istria.
Current plan - Ljubljana - Bovec - Bled (plus Bohinj?) - Rovinj (Croatia) - Ljubljiana.
I am travelling by public transport and, as I am planning to see Ljubljana at the end of my trip, am hoping to get a bus to Bovec on the same day as I arrive. I have checked the connection works on http://www.ap-ljubljana.si/en/ but want to know if I need to book. This will be in mid August so peak holiday time. I'm…
I am planning to travel by train from Venice to Lake Bled in September via Gorizia and Nova Gorika and am wondering which is the best booking site to use for price and dependability. Also will be travelling between ljubljana and Rovinj, probably by bus and, again, I am seeing a reliable and reasonably priced booking site.
I would like to do a 3 day / 2 night hike in Triglav National Park during the second week of September. I'm looking for assistance and feedback on a possible route. I know I want the route to include Triglav Lakes Valley. I think I would like to start at Blato Valley (Planina Blato 1147m) and found route information from there to Koča Pri Triglavskih Jezerih 1685m.
I would like to change the route as follows:
Day 1: Planina Blato to Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih, stay at this hut…
Hello, we're trying to decide whether to stay in Bohinjska Bistrica or Bled in October. We will be there for 4 nights for hiking and outdoor pursuits. For that reason, we are much more drawn toward Bohinj. However, we do like to go out in the evening to enjoy a good meal and are a little unsure if there are enough interesting dining options in Bohinjska Bistrica for 4 nights. We have a car, but don't like to drive after dark. I haven't seen much online info on restaurants in Bohinjska…
I am a Scottish backpacker and have been travelling solo through europe the past 2 months.
I have just landed myself a job in Ljubljana working in the Aladin hostel, just outside the city centre. My shifts I work allow me to have a lot of spare time which is great. So i should be here for the next 3 months hopefully.
If anyone happens to find themselves in Ljubljana and wants to do something give me an email.
Hello All,
We plan to travel by train between Nova Gorica and Ljubljana in two weeks time, stopping to visit/hike around Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled. I have few questions and hope someone can help :)
Most important question: do we need to buy train tickets in advance? I went to Slovenske railroad site and while they provide schedule and info, I do not see any way to buy tickets online? Do we need to go to a travel agent or can we assume we'll b able to buy tickets for any train on the…
After reading a few less than stellar reviews about Avant Car rental, I am thinking of canceling the booking I made through AutoEurope and trying another agency. My starting point is Bled so there are only a few other options. Does anyone have any POSITIVE suggestions to share- the negative ones would probably crash the site!! I dont mind paying a little extra for CDW ( my credit card does cover me somewhat) but I dont want to get hosed for 150 Euro for a minor scratch that was probably there…

DB Coe joins Colts' injured ranks after knee surgery, likely down for year
Updated: August 12, 2008, 8:25 PM ETAssociated Press
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Colts defensive back Michael Coe will be placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee last week.
Coach Tony Dungy had said Coe was likely to miss at least eight weeks and Indianapolis hoped to wait until the two roster cutdowns before making a decision.
The plan changed Tuesday when Dungy announced they couldn't wait for Coe to return because they needed a roster spot.
"We wanted to hold off as ...

According to Wikipedia "heat build-up in notebooks is reduced by 15 to 20 percent, when a laptop is situated at an angle compared to a laptop in a horizontal position". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop_cooler
I use an external monitor and keyboard, so it doesn't matter if the laptop is in a horizontal position and it seems a very simple way to improve cooling. My only concern is the hard drive, but probably it doesn't care if it's not completely horizontal.
Have you tried improved cooling with this technique? Did it help?

Kirsten Gillibrand to Jill Zarin: Fellow Senators 'Treat Me Like Their Daughter'
Zarin: "I sadly kind of think it's in more of a condescending way."
Jill Zarin was an honorary speaker at last Saturday's Human Rights Campaign's annual gala, "Speak the Truth," and the very real housewife introduced Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who of late has become a vocal advocate for pro-LGBT legislation. By the time we approached the reality leading lady (who is no stranger to confrontations among peers), we discovered she'd already done some reporting herself: "[Senator Gillibrand is] beautiful, young, and very personable. And I actually asked her what it's like in Washington with all the old men, because she's so beautiful," Zarin told us. "She said, 'Well, they treat me like their daughter.'" Really, now. We wondered whether Zarin bought that line, considering Gillibrand's stature as a newbie with potentially rocky future prospects. "Yes, but I sadly kind of think it's in more of a condescending way. You really have to earn respect [in Washington], you don't get a free pass walking in, especially because she was appointed, so it's harder for her to fight her way." We have yet to hear back from Gillibrand's press office on the accuracy of Zarin's reporting and political analysis.

When the LittleBigPlanet Beta came out, I played the hell out of it. According to my roommates, I stayed in my room for three days straight, only eating two meals in that 72 hour span as I played the crap out of the LBP beta starting the day I received it. Playing this joyful platformer for the rest of the week had me highly anticipating its full release, as I posted a handful of blogs consisting of guidelines, afterthoughts, and level ideas for the game. Yet, when it finally came out, I barely touched the thing. To this day, I have only played a dozen or so single player and user generated levels combined. Why the sudden downfall of interest? Well, I bought another Xbox 360 and became immersed into its game library, as I played Gears of War 2, Prince of Persia, Mirror's Edge, and Grand Theft Auto IV. All the while, my PS3 sat in the corner collecting dust. Even when I went back home for winter vacation, I neglected my PS3 and only took my 360 home.
But not anymore! Today I went back to my apartment and picked up my PS3, fully committed to getting back into the Playstation family of games, and I'm starting with LittleBigPlanet. Now, while the single player of LBP is fun and I really want to get into the meat of the best user-generated levels the community has to offer, the creation mode is what interests me the most. Unfortunately, the creation mode can be considered limited currently since I have to unlock a variety of tools in the single player campaign. Because of this, I'm going to buy the LittleBigPlanet game guide in order to fully unlock the creation toolset. Once I'm done with that bothersome chore, I will work on my first LittleBigPlanet level since its full release, which is…
LittleBigPlanet Level: Sack, James Sack (Tentitive Title)
With the announcement of the Paintinator, there have probably been thousands of level ideas focusing on hectic gunfights, large scale warfare, and other violent scenarios. But I think such ideas go against what LittleBigPlanet is about, which is a cute and clever platforming game.
So how will I be using the Paintinator? Inspired by James Bond (I was watching Casino Royale when the idea hit me), my level will be about Sackboy infiltrating the headquarters of a corporation. The level will be about getting around dozens of guards and solving puzzles that will unlock new areas that will eventually lead you to the end of the level. How Sackboy deals with the onslaught of infantry is the focus on the game design. Players can choose to blast their way through the whole level with the Paintinator, but these officers are merely innocent men who are working for a possibly evil organization. Thus, players will be rewarded with using their environment to incapacitate these guards instead of killing them. Take for example James Bond in Casino Royale, where he is trying to escape the Embassy where the bomb maker was hiding. As he walks out of the office, he sees two guards coming at him with assault rifles. Opting to not cause anymore damage, he shoots a nearby pipe that spews out hot gas, distracting the soldiers. My level will basically be that, with hopefully more creative ideas.
I'm not going to go into more detail about my future level, but hopefully I will be able to draw out the whole level design and be able to finish my LittleBigPlanet level before winter break is over.

Global Payments Reports "Unauthorized Access"
Global Payments reports incident does not involve our merchants or their relationships with their customers. Global Payments continues to provide uninterrupted processing services.
ATLANTA March 30, 2012 – Global Payments Inc.

Don't Let Your Bank Hide Fees
Michael specifically calls out SunTrust for purposely redesigning their merchant statements to eliminate all rate and fee detail, leaving merchants no clue as to how charges are calculated. SunTrust made the decision to keep merchants in the dark about their "surcharge fees, bill backs, annual fees, PCI fees, etc." because when merchants "don't actually see the rates and fees month after month" they can't ask questions.
Michael warns "Merchants need to be vigilant in monitoring their merchant … more

April 2012 Interchange Modifications Impact B2B and Small Ticket
Update 3/3/2011: MasterCard is creating new small ticket Interchange charge types as discussed below but NOT introducing new rates. MasterCard is implementing these new buckets for small ticket likely so they can track the volume separately from other regulated debit transactions. We expect that companies like USA Tech will continue to opt out of accepting MasterCard debit until they lower the small ticket debit Interchange rate.

Small Businesses are Missing Out on Debit Interchange Savings
Thanks Michael for helping call attention to this small business issue. Ever since this debit Interchange debate started we have been advocating for small businesses because we knew that while they were held up as the face of this legislation by mega retailer lobbyist, that the system was rigged against them.
In October 2011 when the Fed debit rules went into effect, we posted "Durbin's Debit a Trick or Treat for Small Merchants". … more
Paycards better for unbanked than prepaid, traditional checking
New federal regulations have impacted the banking industry's business model of subsidizing once "free" services, driving banks to focus on "profitable" customers while discouraging others with higher fees on basic banking services.
Big retailers have stepped in to profit on the unbanked by charging fees to cash checks and by selling prepaid debit cards. Retail fees charged for these services, when added up over time, can be just as high as maintaining a checking account.
Yet one of the best solutions for the unbanked and underbanked was not … more
Searching for the Best Merchant Rates?
To be the best, can you just claim it or buy the best domain name? The Best Merchant Rates may be an SEO search term, but a company name? Isn't that like naming your company "the best cola" instead of Coke or Pepsi? Do you trust a financial services company with a generic company name like "Merchant Services" or do you go with brand names like Bank of America or Costco?
For small businesses looking for the best merchant rates, turning to mega-banks and mega-retailers is not their best choice. For example, Bank of America Merchant … more

This article specifies an efficient numerical scheme for computing optimal dynamic prices in a setting where the demand in a given period depends on the price in that period, cumulative sales up to the current period, and remaining market potential. The problem is studied in a deterministic and monopolistic context with a general form of the demand function. While traditional approaches produce closed-form equations that are difficult to solve due to the boundary conditions, we specify a computationally tractable numerical procedure by converting the problem to an initial-value problem based on a dynamic programming formulation. We find also that the optimal price dynamics preserves certain properties over the planning horizon: the unit revenue is linearly proportional to the demand elasticity of price; the unit revenue is constant over time when the demand elasticity is constant; and the sales rate is constant over time when the demand elasticity is linear in the price.

Dom Thomas (Finders Keepers) @ Star & Shadow Cinema, Saturday 18 February 2012, 10pm-4am, £6
Endless Race have really gone out on a limb with this one. As if we haven't already been doing our best to bring you the least predictable/posy disco around, we've gone and booked someone who'll play some truly unusual oddities and rarities.
Dom Thomas and partners in crime, Andy Votel and Doug Shipton, are best known for their endless compilations on the legendary Finders Keepers label, who specialise in trawling the world in search of lost gems, and who have brought us (well, the Western world) some of the most surprising mutations of disco, funk, pop, and whatever, from the least reachable corners of the world, deliciously fused with local influences. Expect the finest in Turkish Disco, Malaysian Funk, Vietnamese Boogie – who knows? Dom also co-runs Brutal Music, focusing on mixing up obscure and forgotten selections of some of the finest proto house, weird psyche and mashed up funk.
As a founding director of vintage vinyl archeology team "Finders Keepers" and cross-continental club night B-Music, Dom Thomas has travelled the world twice over supplying Psych-starved mods, b-boys and misfits throughout the world with his unique brand of unidentifiable cosmic slop. An ardent, assiduous B-Music crusader - whose love of obscure, obsolete, deleted and delectable experimental vintage Pop music and graphic design has sparked a vibrant record-stall, dancefloor and sub-cultural uprising, this Manchester beat-freak spearheads an infectious, impetuous campaign that champions long-forgotten way-out sounds...
So, if you're willing to take a chance on a night where even we don't know exactly what to expect, do come along and be ready to dance to music you've never heard before.
Do check out this great mix by Dom Thomas for a taster:
Plus some samples here:
And a blog:
We have the finest warm up we know of for this sort of night in the form of DJs Jack Archer and James Pole, coming all the way from Glasgow, where they run the eclectic Habibi club night. With a firm background in disco and Italo Boogie, they have a firm understanding of how to make people dance, and they're relishing the chance to bring some of their more exotic records south of the border for this one.
