Samsung Galaxy K zoomCompare8 reviewThe Samsung Galaxy K zoom has drawn inspiration from the Galaxy S5 as it features the flagship's distinct perforated pattern and shimmering finish. What's new, however, is the dedicated camera button on the side, which is a must-have for any camera-centric handset.The screen on the Samsung Galaxy K zoom measures 4.8 inches in diagonal. It is Super AMOLED with resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. Under the hood of the Samsung Galaxy K zoom beats a hexa-core SoC – an Exynos 5 model featuring a 1.3 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 setup handling lighter tasks and a 1.7 GHz dual-core Cortex-A15 CPU which kicks in when extra power is needed. Two gigs of RAM have also been thrown in for good measure. On-board storage capacity is limited to only 8 gigs, but a microSD card slot allows that to be expanded with cards of at least 64 gigabytes. As for the most exciting part of the equation – the device's camera – Samsung has chosen to go with a 20.7MP BSI CMOS camera sensor that is 1/2.3" in size. Furthermore, the Galaxy K zoom packs a powerful xenon flash accompanied by an assistive LED light, just like its predecessor.+ View Specs

The post that follows this one is by Jeffrey A. "Jeff" Bockman. I ran across it over on Google+. It is one of those mindset changing things. I hope you will read it, and we can engage in a discussion in person or online or both. I think it has merit.
While going to Jeff's site, I ran across a book of his which I think might just make a good Christmas present for someone you are trying to get interested in genealogy or your family's specific history.

The Islanders move to 9-10 overall on the year, while the Owls improved to 15-6 this season. It was the third straight road match for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi, with number four coming tomorrow against Prairie View A&M in Houston before returning home to face UTSA on April 14.
"Give a lot of credit to Rice, they have a very well-coached team that is really starting to peak here at the end of the year," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "We were close in every set, a lot of 6-4 and 7-5 scores, but just didn't quite rise up and take it when it got close to the end of the set."
In doubles play, Aurelien Tave and Matt Westmoreland earned an 8-5 final at the No. 2 position, but it was not enough as the Islanders came up short at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. Peter Nagy and Alex Pavlov lost an 8-2 final at No. 1, while Andrew Maingot and Nathan Robinson were on the wrong end of an 8-4 finish at the No. 3 spot.
In singles, Robinson earned the only point of the match in three sets at No. 3, winning the first and dropping the second before finishing with a 6-4, 3-6, 12-10 final. Tave also pushed his match to three sets before coming up just short at No. 2 with an 0-6, 6-0, 6-2 score.
Westmoreland played a pair of close sets at No. 4 before falling 6-4, 7-5. Nagy lost a 6-4, 6-1 final at No. 1 singles, while Gergo Weidinger fell by a 6-4, 6-1 score at the No. 5 position. Fernando Llorens finished the play in singles with a battling 6-4, 6-4 loss at the No. 6 spot.
"I thought we fought extremely hard," said Moore. "Give them credit; I thought they were just better than us today on the big points at the end of the sets.
"We just have to get a little tougher and play a little smarter in those key moments. Overall, the guys fought very hard, and we lost to a very good, well-coached team today."
In addition the men playing Prairie View A&M, the women will play at Sam Houston on Saturday afternoon.
Following the Saturday match, the Islanders will return home on April 14 for senior day. The program will recognize Tave, Robinson and Pavlov for their contributions to the Islanders Tennis program.

60 years ago
Liberty Gridders work for speed: Preparation for the first game of the season, and the first game with Antioch in a number of years, has had Coach Lou Bronzan and his assistant, Jack Ferrill, working overtime with the Liberty Union football team. Until school started Wednesday, double sessions were the order of the day, the second session starting in the evening and winding up under the lights.
Thus far, the greatest progress has been made with the offense, but coaches Bronzan and Ferrill are having problem in whipping a line into shape that will move fast enough to permit this year's speedy backfield to function to its fullest capacity. Work next week will be slanted toward a defense that will stop whatever may be thrown against it, on the theory that it doesn't make a great deal of difference how many touchdowns can be made if the opposing team can make more of them.
25 years ago
Sand Hill area now quiet and peaceful: When Larry Cox moved to Oakley's Sand Hill area 25 years ago, Davis Lane was a "rough area" with rowdy neighbors and homes unkempt, sandy lots.
Now, the block-long street off Highway 4 near Gehringer Primary School is a peaceful neighborhood with neat fences around the yards and flower gardens at nearly every house.
"It's nice out here now," Cox said from the front yard of his home, which is located about 100 yards from the highway. "Most of us are retired and it's quieter since they blocked off the end of the street a few years ago."
Frank Martinez and his wife Elsie, manage nine rented homes along the private road for Frank's brother, and trace the neighborhood back at least 40 years.
"These houses came from Camp Stoneman a long time ago. They've been here as long as I can remember," Frank said. The neat wood homes brought from Pittsburg's military processing center, which was active from 1941 through 1954, have been remodeled and repainted over the years, and recently tenants have taken new pride in the way the neighborhood looks.

Colorado hospitals are hoping a new blood test will stop the spread of West Nile virus. The new test can detect particles of the virus, instead of the body's reaction to infection. That's an improvement over the old test because antibodies can take up to 10 days to produce, which could allow tainted blood to get through.
Just last year, at least 23 people across the nation contracted West Nile Virus through blood transfusions. The 16 donors who passed along West Nile didn't get sick. It has already been confirmed in mosquitoes in Pueblo County. Magpies in Fremont, Larimer, and Crowley Counties have also tested positive for West Nile.
Now health experts hope to prevent a repeat of last year. That's when more than a dozen Coloradans were infected with the virus. Blood banks, like the one at Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs, will be only be doing the West Nile testing during the summer. They say it's just one of many tests they do on every unit of blood.
Barbara Clinebell has been a blood donor for years. "My father one time needed several units of blood when I was a child, so I just learned that it was important to do." And she welcomes the new West Nile testing. "It's not a big deal. I'll find out I have West Nile before anyone else," she says.
"It's just a simple blood test that we are already doing when you come in to donate," says Penrose Hospital's Karen Gordon. She says blood donors must agree to the test before they give. "If you don't, basically we do have to defer as a blood donor."
Many blood centers across the country tested for West Nile last year, but this year, the test is more sensitive. "It's an earlier test that catches it before it has left your blood stream and at that point, once you develop the antigens, you probably are infectious for the West Nile Virus and it can be transmitted through the blood," says Gordon.
Gordon also says catching it earlier will make the blood supply safer. "Now that we have this testing and it's so specific to the West Nile Virus, we do expect to find more cases in Colorado."
No human cases of West Nile have been reported in Colorado or anywhere in the U.S. so far this year.

CW Behind the Scenes: Thompson Square at The Wheel
They say it all begins with a song. But for Shawna and Keifer Thompson of Thompson Square, it all began with a bar. The duo worked together at a downtown Nashville bar called The Wheel. Country Weekly decided to take the duo back to the bar for a photo shoot. Take a look at some behind-the-scenes photos from that shoot as the duo takes us back to where it all began.
To see the results of this shoot, pick up the April 1 issue of Country Weekly, on stands now, and catch up with Thompson Square.

'Family Ties' creator Gary David Goldberg dies
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 8:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 8:29 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Gary David Goldberg, who created the 1980s sitcom hit "Family Ties" and expanded into feature films, has died.
Goldberg died of brain cancer in Montecito, Calif., on Saturday, days before his 69th birthday, The New York Times reported.
Goldberg's TV successes also included the ABC comedy "Spin City," which in 1996 reunited him with "Family Ties" breakout star Michael J. Fox as the deputy mayor of New York City.
"With a full heart I say goodbye to my mentor, benefactor, partner, second father and beloved friend," Fox said in a statement on Monday. "He touched so many with his enormous talent and generous spirit. He changed my life profoundly."
A more modest hit for Goldberg yet much-acclaimed, CBS' "Brooklyn Bridge" (1991-93) was a tender comedy based on his experiences growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y. Marion Ross starred as a character inspired by his grandmother.
Goldberg's films included "Dad" (1989), starring Jack Lemmon and Ted Danson, as well as "Bye Bye Love" (1995) and "Must Love Dogs" (2005), which he wrote as well as directed.
His own dog, Ubu, contributed the name of his production company and was widely known from the onscreen credit where viewers heard the command, "Sit, Ubu, sit," then a bark.
Goldberg began his TV career in the 1970s as a writer for series including "The Bob Newhart Show," and was a producer of "Lou Grant."
In 1982 "Family Ties" premiered on NBC, introducing Michael J. Fox as a business-loving Young Republican son of left-wing baby boomers who were former hippies.
"Basically, those parents are me and Diana," Goldberg once said, referring to his wife, Diana Meehan, who survives him.
The series became a huge hit, making Fox a star and Goldberg an important behind-the-camera name.
During his career, Goldberg won two Emmy awards, two Golden Globes and a Peabody award.

Are Law Schools Heading into a Bull Market?
It's a confusing time for those deciding whether to take a chance on law school.
The odds of a law-school graduate landing a job at a large law firm have improved since the recession days, but the total number of available positions is still far lower than it was four years ago, as WSJ's Jennifer Smith reported this week.
Over at Slate, business reporter Jordan Weissmann assesses the bigger picture and offers advice for law school fence-sitters: Apply to law school now.
Thanks to the historic enrollment crash that has shrunk law school classes during the past few years, it means that graduates might soon be looking at a shockingly strong job market.
Here is the key number to keep in mind: 36,000. That is roughly the number of new J.D.s we should expect to graduate in 2016. Getting to that figure is pretty straightforward: In the fall of 2013, 39,700 students enrolled in law school. Given that about 10 percent of each law school class generally drops out, we should expect no more than 36,000 to reach commencement. (I'm actually rounding up the number a bit to be conservative.)
In comparison, 46,776 law students graduated in 2013. So we're talking about a potential 23 percent plunge. With less competition it should be far easier for graduates to find decent work.
The argument advanced by Mr. Weissmann is one that's slowly gaining currency among legal education observers.
University of Washington law professor Ryan Calo expressed similar optimism in an article for Forbes last fall. Law Blog, in an earlier post, peered into the crystal ball as well and, using slightly different assumptions, predicted that the number of graduates would fall to about 34,000 by 2017.
The Slate piece concludes on a cautious note, tacking on several "to be sures."
"Some lower-ranked schools will continue to deliver miserable job prospects for their students, just as they have for years," the piece says.
The analysis, the writer suggests, is less an endorsement of law school than a recognition of the law of supply and demand.
Says Mr. Weissmann: "The only reason the class of 2016 is looking at a relatively upbeat future is that enough students gave up on the idea of becoming lawyers amid a market that was flooded with jobless young people."

Study: Pedaling might power down Parkinson's
Published: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 4:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 4:51 p.m.
Inside a sweat-steamed cycling studio at the Frank G. Berlin branch of the Sarasota YMCA, members of a highly select class are pedaling their hearts out.
The program: The Sarasota YMCA, in cooperation with the Neuro Challenge Foundation, has offered cycling classes to Parkinson's patients since November 2011, based on Cleveland Clinic research showing that forced exercise lessens symptoms of the disease. The class is now held three times a week at the Berlin branch, and has expanded to the Potter Park branch of the Y.
The study: Neuro Challenge tracked 17 volunteers with Parkinson's disease who cycled at least twice a week for a 12-week period. Their motor and non-motor symptoms were measured before, during and after the course. Cleveland Clinic researchers will help analyze the results, which are expected to show that this kind of cycling program can help Parkinson's patients anywhere.
For more information:
• Neuro Challenge Foundation, 780-2710, neurochallenge.org
• Sarasota YMCA, 955-8194, thesarasotay.org
• The Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute, lerner.ccf.org.
In the narrow, dimly lit room, the cyclers seem intent on a bright screen before them that looks like something from a TV game show, with colored squares that display their first names and their real-time heart rates. Each square is green, yellow or red — depending on how close that participant is to an individual, pre-set goal for sustained high-energy exercise.
When the session ends, the riders dismount, beaming with exhilaration from their efforts, softly chatting and laughing with each other. Some show the off-kilter posture or slightly fluttering hand that is a hallmark of the Parkinson's disease they have in common. Others may sway their hips from side to side as they speak about the class.
But all of them — at an average age of 71 and 12 weeks into their experimental cycling program — believe they are better off than when they started.
The 17 participants, from age 60 to 78, are local patients diagnosed with Parkinson's — an age-related progressive neurological disorder that limits movements, balance and the ability to have a normal life. They volunteered for a study conducted by the Neuro Challenge Foundation, a Sarasota non-profit, with a grant from the Roberta Leventhal Sudakoff Foundation. Once the research data are analyzed and published, Sarasota's fledgling "Pedaling with Parkinson's" class could become a model for offering hope to patients like them everywhere.
This observational study is intended to quantify what so far has been anecdotal evidence that twice-weekly cycling sessions at top speed can soften or delay many symptoms of the disease.
"Some of the benefits we have already seen are improved speech, improved gait and balance," says Jennifer Williams, a care advisor for Neuro Challenge who has tracked the volunteers through the 12-week study. "A lot of folks are coming in without their walkers and their canes. Now they are getting on and off the bikes by themselves, which is huge. And the camaraderie of the class has helped with a lot of the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's, the depression and anxiety."
Doug Tate, 64, was diagnosed with the disease about a year ago after he and his wife noticed some early signs, like a new habit of tapping his foot. Now he has tremors in his right arm and leg. But a week into the study, he noticed that the tremor in his arm vanished temporarily as a result of the cycling sessions. Even better, his overall energy level rose.
"It's the trying that gets you going," he says. "It's one thing to notice the progress on those charts, and it's another to notice the changes yourself. Even my neighbors have noticed it; they said to me, 'Your facial expression is brighter, you're walking more upright, your pace has picked up.'"
Serendipity on a bike
Tate is right; trying harder is the secret behind this low-tech treatment for the ravages of Parkinson's. When biomedical engineer Jay Alberts was an assistant professor at Georgia Tech in 2003, he went on a summer long-distance cycling event with a friend whose wife had the disease. Riding a tandem bike, the couple "had the traditional difficulties that married people do," and Alberts offered to ride with the wife.
"I remember that one time she said, 'It doesn't feel like I have Parkinson's when I'm on the bike,'" recalls Alberts, now at the Cleveland Clinic. Then one night at the camp, Alberts saw a birthday card the woman had written to a cyclist in their group.
Instead of her usual "micrographia" — the tiny handwriting typical of Parkinson's sufferers, "that card looked perfect," Alberts says. "That was my first idea that there might be something going on."
In 2009, Alberts published a research paper in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, reporting experiments at the Cleveland Clinic using a stationary tandem bike that increased Parkinson's patients' speed to 30 percent more than their preferred cycling pace. This forced exercise, he and his co-authors wrote, led to "global improvements in motor function."
The paper caught the eye of Sarasota neurologist Dean Sutherland, the medical director for Neuro Challenge. Sutherland knew Alberts' cousin, who lives in Sarasota, and used the connection to invite him to speak at the foundation's annual symposium here.
Sutherland calls this chain of events "serendipitous," the same term Alberts applies to his initial mental link between pedaling and Parkinson's.
"We wound up putting an idea together to obtain a grant to do a pedaling study," Sutherland says. While the motor skills measurements from the study have not yet been crunched, he says, "The people who've done the spinning classes — in or out of the study — are more mobile and have better endurance and balance than other patients."
Because the program is so new, researchers do not yet know why these improvements occur or how long they might last. But after years of having to tell people they have an incurable disease, Sutherland is heartened by the idea of having something helpful to offer them.
"It's fantastic," he says. "It's such a positive thing and it's not even that complicated — ultimately, not even that expensive. It shows them they have more capability than they realize, and that gives them self-confidence and hope."
Alberts, now studying why forced exercise lessens the motor impairments of Parkinson's, says the Sarasota pedaling project can prove that what works in his lab will achieve comparable results in the real world.
"I give the Sudakoff organization a lot of credit for supporting something that's not necessarily what you would typically consider for medical support," he says. "I think what's really important about this study is that the volunteers set an example. Now Sarasota can be this crown jewel with respect to a program that can be emulated across the country."
The smell of cookies
Charlie Campbell, a senior cycling instructor at the Berlin YMCA, has been part of the Parkinson's project since it began as a trial effort in November 2011. Now the Potter Park Y also offers a class, and a video and training manual are in the works for YMCAs nationwide.
"We started out with one time a week, because we were trying to learn what we were doing," Campbell says. "We really wanted to go slow because we were concerned that nobody had ever done this before. If we were going to make mistakes, we said, let's make as few as we possibly can."
Campbell admits he had some doubts when the first Parkinson's patients — many of them older and not used to exercising — had trouble even mounting the stationary bikes. But he and the instructors learned to step up the workouts gradually, lengthening their intervals and speeds so they could begin to feel benefits.
"After they do it for a while, you see consistent results," Campbell says, "like tremors being reduced, and feeling a lot better about their balance. And their hearing, taste and smell come back. If you haven't smelled a chocolate chip cookie in a while, and then you can, it's a big deal."
Christine Ludwig, diagnosed 14 years ago, had not ridden a bicycle for years when she agreed to participate in the study. She has enjoyed watching her classmates' confidence levels rise as they "walk taller and straighter."
Although she has not yet seen her own before-and-after measurements, Ludwig says, "I absolutely believe that the progression of the disease has been slowed in my case. With Parkinson's, even just to hold your own is wonderful, and I was not as good before as I am now."
George Mass, 72, has lived with the disease since 2000. Since his wife signed him up for the study, he has gone from a stationary bike at the Y to being able to ride a recumbent bike in his Sarasota neighborhood. He describes the class as hard work, but worthwhile.
"Well," he says, "you have to earn a lot of things. And that includes your health when you're my age."

Gaylor Leaves Morgan Stanley for Twitter
Losing a senior technology banker isn't usually cause for celebration at a Wall Street firm.
But there could be a silver lining for Morgan Stanley in Cynthia Gaylor's decision to leave. Gaylor, a veteran Silicon Valley banker who helped work on transactions for FacebookLinkedIn and Netflix, is leaving the investment bank for Twitter Inc., the social media company that some expect to do a big IPO in the next year or so.
Twitter general counsel Alex Macgillivray announced Gaylor's hiring as head of corporate development on his Twitter account Thursday morning. Gaylor responded on her Twitter account that she looked forward "to joining and focusing on M&A + strategy." She then threw in an apparent reference to Twitter's bird logo, saying "let the migration begin!"
Morgan Stanley and other banks are eagerly eying Twitter as the next big tech stock offering that could generate a big fee for the banks and help build their reputations as Internet rock stars.
Morgan Stanley, in particular, may be looking for redemption after the rocky Facebook IPO last May. Morgan Stanley, along with fellow lead underwriters J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs, took heat for the deal after the company's stock fell sharply amid exchange technology glitches and worries about Facebook's revenue growth.
And while Facebook shares have rallied since last fall, they're still about 20% below the offering price. Despite the Facebook deal, Morgan Stanley has maintained its spot as the top investment bank in generating revenue from technology deals, according to a Dealogic report last month.
Of course, Gaylor joining Twitter doesn't mean that Morgan Stanley will get a choice role in this potential IPO. According to Gaylor's LinkedIn page, she led the Morgan Stanley's "technology execution effort, advising clients across a broad array of strategic financing activities including IPOs, follow-on offerings, equity linked, private placement and debt security transactions."
Twitter has been coy on the IPO. Co-founder Jack Dorsey told Bloomberg News last week that the company is "not even thinking about" an IPO right now. Twitter and Morgan Stanley confirmed Gaylor's move Thursday, but spokespeople at the firms declined to comment further. Gaylor couldn't be reached for comment.

Now she encourages others to have their annual exams
This article appeared in our Spring 2013 Update publication.
Hilda Gray is a strong proponent of mammograms. The South Royalton resident has had one every year at her community hospital, Gifford Medical Center.
Last year was the first time this active grandmother got some unsettling news, however.
A small lesion in her left breast was found and merited further study. Gifford Patient Care Navigator Brittany Kelton scheduled all of Hilda's follow-up care and was at her side during each appointment.
A diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound were performed and then an ultrasound-guided biopsy was done right in the Radiology Department.
At first, Hilda didn't want the biopsy. "I wasn't too thrilled about that," she says. Her family, however, was insistent. "'Momma, you're going to have the biopsy and that is all there is to it,'" Hilda recalls one of her daughters saying.
On the day radiologist Dr. Scott Smith delivered the news that the small mass was indeed breast cancer, three of Hilda's children and her husband, Robert Gray Sr., were at her side.
Dr. Smith "took the whole family in the office and explained to everybody. He didn't try to hurry you out. He wanted to make sure all of our questions were answered," Robert recalls.
A lumpectomy, surgery to remove the mass, was the next step. This time, Hilda was fearless. "If its something that's got to be done, it's got to be done," she recalls saying at the time.
She also had every confidence in the general surgeon who would operate – Dr. Maury Smith. "To Dr. Smith, you are a person, not just a patient," says Robert.
This time with Robert, all four of her children and their spouses with her, Hilda returned to Gifford last fall for surgery to remove the cancer. A follow-up mammogram earlier this year found no additional lesions, says a happy, cancer-free Hilda.
"I feel like the hospital did wonderful by me," she says, encouraging others to have their annual mammograms.
"Just do it," she says. "If I hadn't gone, I would never have known it was there. I really think it's something women should do every year."

EDWARDS, Colorado - Rachel Joy Scott was a senior at Columbine High School, having lunch with a friend on the lawn outside the library that warm spring day when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold started killing classmates.
Rachel had known Klebold since kindergarten, but that didn't stop them from making her their first Columbine murder victim.
Not long before that dark day, Rachel wrote in her diary, "I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."
She was right.
Rachel's life is over, but her love lives on.
Rachel's Challenge is one of the nation's largest school-based character-development programs. More than 2,200 schools were part of the Rachel's Challenge program last year alone.
Rachel's Challenge helps students replace acts of violence, bullying and negativity with respect, kindness and compassion. It was originally aimed at teenagers but has been expanded to include their parents and the rest of the community.
"In the past 24 months, 500 teen suicides and seven school shootings were averted nationally because of Rachel's Challenge," said Scott Mayeux, national director of business development.
Each day, 160,000 students do not go to school because they are bullied, teased and harassed, according to data Mayeux provided.
At Columbine, 13 people were murdered. When Adam Lanza murdered 27 people in Newtown, Conn., the Rachel's Challenge crew were among the only ones who knew how it felt.
"The pain of their loss is indescribable, and we can only encourage them to lean on the support of their community and loved ones in dealing with this tragedy," the group said in a statement.
Rachel's Challenge is based on the 17 year-old's writings and life. It was started by Rachel's dad and stepmom, Darrell and Sandy Scott, after they said they realized Rachel's writings and drawings influenced her friends and classmates, as well as students around the world.
The Scott family said they knew Rachel's story would inspire others to make their world a better place.
Almost 20 million people have heard Rachel's message, more than 2 million each year, Mayeux said.
The results are measurable, Mayeux said.
After seeing Rachel's Challenge, 78 percent of students indicated they would intervene to stop a bullying incident in their school.
Mayeux said in the past three years, Rachel's Challenge has received nearly 500 unsolicited emails from students stating that after hearing Rachel's story, they reached out for help as they were contemplating suicide. Some even state that "Rachel saved their life," Mayeux said.
When Rachel was murdered, her younger brother, Craig, was in the Columbine High School library where most of the killings occurred. He survived unharmed.
After the killings, Rachel's car was turned into a flower-shrouded memorial in the adjacent Clement Park after being moved from the school's parking lot by grieving students.
Rachel Scott's funeral, April 24, 1999, was attended by more than 2,000 people and was televised nationally. More people watched Rachel's funeral than watched Princess Diana's.
Rachel's life is over, but her love lives on.

Mini vMac
3 Opinions
Using miniVmac 3.2.1 but under Linux, not OSX.
Due to the way the intervening time has passed, there is a difficulty using older diskette images in miniVmac. A stock miniVmac will emulate a Macintosh Plus, provided YOU can extract a ROM file from a living Macintosh Plus that YOU own.
Problem is, so many modern Mac users started on or continue to use newer Macintosh models, and aren't SUFFICIENTLY familiar with older hardware. Why is this important? MANY floppy disk 'images' don't work with the emulated Macintosh Plus because the most popular disk images are 1.4 meg floppy images, which are created by and created for a system that has a 1.4 meg floppy drive (a 'Superdrive').
Why is that important? Because a Macintosh Plus NEVER had a 1.4 meg floppy drive, and never could support them using the ROM found in the real Macintosh Plus. The available disk images leaves a gap in what you can install into an emulated Mac Plus - some unique disks images just aren't what a Plus can read.
somewhat ironically i use mini vmac on a windows machine, getting older software to run within mini vmac through system 7 is a little bit tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm.
There is also a emulator-tag in use. IMO this should use it also.

A portion of High Street in Victor will be closed on Saturday, Aug. 9, while new storm sewer piping is installed between the village line (Saint Patrick's Cemetery) and Lane Road.
The closure will take place from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and will involve both lanes of High Street from Route 96 in the village to Lane Road. Local traffic — residents within the detour area — will be able to use the road while it is closed.
Message boards will be placed to notify drivers, and detour signs will be posted while the work is being done. The detour will direct motorists to use Lane Road and Route 96.

I have this unique ability (curse) of being able to exhaust a devices usefulness in no less than two weeks. Since Dec 2007 I've owned a Palm T|X (sold), an EeePC (still love it), an AT&T GoPhone (total crap), a Nokia e61, and two Bluetooth headsets. So I hope to be valuable to this site. My buying habits (which conviniently line up with my pay schedule) combined with the fact that I work at a computer store should help.

New River marks 30th anniversary of Beirut attack
Published: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 7:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 18, 2013 at 7:25 a.m.
NEW RIVER AIR STATION, N.C. (AP) — Marine Corps Air Station New River is honoring more than 240 Americans killed 30 years ago when terrorist attacked the military barracks in Beirut that was home to a U.S. peacekeeping force.
The event will be held Friday at the air station theater. The military says it will give Marines a chance to learn more about the attack, which happened Oct. 23, 1983.
Speakers include teacher and historian Ron Bower and Lt. Cmdr. Bryan Crittenden, a Marine chaplain who was a CH-46 pilot in 1983. Also speaking are two retired sergeants who were nearby when the barracks was attacked.
Many of the 241 killed were from Jacksonville because Camp Lejeune's 24th Marine Amphibious Unit was stationed in Beirut at the time.

"It's a totally preventable tragedy. There are alternatives that a woman in a desperate situation should know so she doesn't abandon a baby," said Michigan Department of Human Services Director Marianne Udow.
The safe delivery of Newborns law provides parents with a safe place to leave a newborn infant without punishment. Under the law, parents can surrender a child from birth-- up to 72 hours to an emergency service provider.
"Obviously hospital personnel, fire department personnel, law enforcement... the legislation was just changed to also include medical type EMS personnel," said Captain Dan Smith of the Michigan State Police.
The Governor proclaimed Tuesday as safe delivery of newborns day. A new public service annoucement was unveiled to raise awareness.
"Michigan in just the past two months, we've had two," said Udow. "Our goal is to have that baby in a safe situation."
As of April of last year, 44 newborns have been safely surrendered in Michigan.
Captain Smith went on to add, "We have some parents that have newborns that aren't capable or able to handle them because of a narcotic or durg addiction...that's why this program is so viable."

What Do These 3 Things Have in Common: Writers, Smells, and Apples?
26 comments:
- Annalisa Crawford said...
The smell that inspires me is freshly cut grass. So I'll be smelling that, this weekend, rather than rotting apples :-)
Apple pie sounds good though...
- May 4, 2012 at 6:54 AM

No kidding? How interesting. Guess I'm buying some apples today, or maybe I'll just lit an apple-scented candle. ;D
- May 4, 2012 at 7:16 AM

That is cool. I might get myself an apple scented candle now. :)

I have not baking time this weekend. If I feel blocked, I walk, doodle, and listen to music. I even talk out loud to my characters.
- May 4, 2012 at 8:26 AM

Yessss! I just bought a bunch of apples from the market! *wanders off to sniff them*

Sheri- An apple scented candle is a great idea!
Jennifer- Go for it. You might suddenly become super productive!
Christina- LoL, I know, I love our strangeness!!
Kyra- Even if it doesn't clear my mind, I'm always up for apple pie!!
Stina- I love peppermint scent! Peppermint has some really great health benefits, too. I think it helps with upset stomachs and tension headaches, which some blocked writers probably feel I'm sure!
Tara- Ooo, I didn't know that about grapes! That's interesting. An apple-scented hand sanitizer is a great idea!
Shelly- Those are great ways to help with writer's block!
Julie- I expect you'll be super productive this weekend!!

First I am going to have a huge slice of your apple pie, then when I am feeling better I will make my own :)
Great post, Laura. How is your writing going?

What a fun post! You've inspired me to take out some candles today--not sure if I have apple stashed away, though. But I definitely will check.

Wow, what a fun bit of trivia!

Well, if I've been blocked I probably smell like shower gel. I always seem to get my best idea while showering so when I need to conjure up something that where I head.
When the ideas are flowing on their own, I might be a little stinky.
- May 4, 2012 at 5:40 PM
- Clarissa Draper said...
Wow, that's so interesting. I'll have to keep more apples nearby.
- May 4, 2012 at 7:55 PM

I'll be making some apple crisp this weekend. That will be a yummy apple smell to fill the house, even if only for a little while. : )
- May 4, 2012 at 8:37 PM
- Jemi Fraser said...
Okay - I really need some apple pie now! Looks like I'll be baking tomorrow! :) I'll be adding in some cinnamon too - that's my favourite smell! :)
- May 4, 2012 at 9:22 PM
- Laura Marcella said...
Shannon- Mmm, that sounds perfect! And even better if someone else makes them for you. :)
Rachna- Sounds good!!!
Susan- Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines! I hope you found an apple-scented candle! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Jaycee- Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
LD- I rarely get ideas in the shower or washing dishes. Supposedly water is excellent for stirring up creativity. It doesn't work for me, though. Oh well!
Clarissa- Absolutely! It's worth a try for sure. :)
Susanne- Mmmm, that sounds so good! I love the smells of homemade baked goodies throughout the home. :)
Jemi- I love the smell of cinnamon, too! Enjoy your apple pie!! :)

I guess apples are good for us in more ways than we knew! I'll keep this in mind ...

Never knew that about apples, but suddenly potpouri makes more sense. Also, I don't know how to spell that word.
- May 6, 2012 at 9:23 AM
- Peggy Eddleman said...
As I writer, I totally smell like flowers and cookies. :)
ANNNNND, I just happen to have an apple crisp in the oven right now! Hm. Maybe I better take advantage and start writing. :) I also heard that the smell of oranges can help you think more clearly. I was working through a particularly difficult part of editing and just couldn't quite figure it out. So, I got an orange and started peeling it, putting the peels right in front of my keyboard. Then I'd work a little, peel a little, smell my hands a little, ;) and it totally worked!
- May 6, 2012 at 8:06 PM
- Laura Marcella said...
Jessica- Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines! I hope you got a pie! Have a great week. :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting and I appreciate the follow!!
Melissa- Absolutely!! You can't go wrong with apples in taste, smell, and attitude. :)
Krista- Do it!!! I didn't get a chance to make an apple pie, but I'm making banana bread today. We'll see how banana bread helps my creativity! :)
Libby- Hello and welcome to Wavy Lines! Ooo, you're write! Maybe I should get some for my desk! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Peggy- I know you definitely smell like cookies!! I love the smell of oranges. It's my favorite color and fruit and makes me happy, so I know it works for me. :)

My contract is over with Verizon, so I can go where the free phones are. Sadly, looks like the Nexus is a dud on the actual "phone" part. Verizon thus far won't give me anything decent as an upgrade phone for free. No reason to reup with them if I don't get my device.

SAN JOSE -- A real estate agent has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for using a Ponzi scheme to bilk friends and family out of more than $2 million, which she spent on luxury cars, expensive clothes and fancy furniture, according to prosecutors.
Jill Marie Silvey, 51, was convicted earlier this year in Santa Clara County Superior Court of 52 fraud-related felonies. Her scam involved convincing at least 20 investors to lend their money to homeowners whom Silvey had dealt with before. The homeowners would then send the investors monthly interest payments.
But the homeowners knew nothing of the supposed transaction -- Silvey would take the cash herself and in true Ponzi fashion, use money from later victims to make payments to those she'd brought into the fold earlier.
"The real loss to the victims was the emotional pain they suffered at the hands of Ms. Silvey," said deputy district attorney Katharina Wells in a statement. "Jill Silvey victimized her own family and close friends, stealing over $2 million to keep her Ponzi scheme going while spending the victims' life savings on lavish personal items."
At her sentencing, Silvey was also ordered to pay restitution to her victims.
The scam came to light when investors, frustrated by late payments, directly contacted the homeowners and learned they had no knowledge of ever getting a loan. The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office Real Estate Fraud unit began an investigation in 2012, and believe Silvey had been running the scam since 2005.
Silvey was arrested in June of last year.

Ikea Lack Side Tables Turned Ottomans
Materials: 2 Ikea Lack Side Tables, 2 Yards Ikea Sofia Fabric, Batting, Foam Camping Carpet Pad from Home Depot, Spray Adhesive, Staple Gun, Hacksaw, Scotch Guard, and scissors of course!
Description: I made these inexpensive custom ottomans for my mom for Christmas to make her Ektorp sofa more comfortable for multiple people because although its great for one person, but add another and it's not quite as comfortable. It's difficult to really stretch out and relax. So ottomans were the perfect solution. Its not the most original Ikea hack, but effective and simple none the less, and I think they came out quite lovely! Not only do ottomans provide a place to put up your feet, but they also function together as a coffee.
First, line your table top up with your foam (I skipped expensive upholstery foam and bought a camping foam carpet pad at Home Depot) and cut along the edges with a sharp kitchen knife so that the foam is the same size as the table top.
Spray both the table top and the foam with adhesive and stick them together. Make sure the foam is on the top of the table. You'll need the holes on the bottom free to screw in the legs.
Next, lay the top onto the batting (foam side down), pull the batting over the sides and staple the batting on starting at the center and stapling one side and then the opposite side to making sure it is evenly taut. When you get to the corners, make sure you don't cover up the hole where the legs will screw in.
Use a hammer to make sure all staples are not sticking out and trim away the excess batting.
Cut your fabric to size and line it up so that it is centered over your foam. Staple using the same method used for the batting. To make clean clean corners, first staple down the side fabric, pull the fabric over the corner to the front, staple again, and then fold down the front and staple again. Hammer in any staples that are protruding and trim off excess fabric. I also coated them with a few coats of Scotch Guard to give them a little added protection.
If desired, cut table legs with a hack saw so that the ottomans will be even height with your sofa. You want to cut the finished end off so that you still have the hole to screw the legs on. I discovered that Home Depot wont do this for you because they are hallow and their machine might split them. But a hacksaw works great and with a little sanding, you can get them looking pretty nice and finished.
Finally, follow Ikea's instructions to screw the legs on and you're done! Now relax and put your feet up on your beautiful new custom ottomans.

Where else can you get the camping foam carpet mat? I can't seem to find it at home depot anymore.
Looks great! I am afraid that I won't be able to cover my lack so neatly. How did you fold the fabric at the corners?
CooL, CooL, CooL!
These are awesome. I actually plan on doing the exact same thing
