LastPass Beta Broken Peringkat 1 dari 5 bintang
Windows 7 with the latest release version of FF 64bit. When I go to create a new site login, the window that pops up is way larger than the screen and I cannot scroll. I end up having to use dev tools in a separate window so I can recode the page to have it be the appropriate size. It is awful and annoying.
Отличный менеджер паролей, но Peringkat 4 dari 5 bintang
Но огорчает отсутствие возможности иметь локальную копию зашифрованной базы данных паролей. Из-за отсутствия приложения для android пришлось перейти на использование менее удобного keepass (+google sync plugin+keepass2android). Для android есть лишь плагин к браузеру firefox, но на смартфоне я использую chrome - он быстрее и стабильнее в android os.
Best online password manager I've used Peringkat 5 dari 5 bintang
I'm using the free service for years now, but I'm very satisfied with LastPass. It gets the job done, and it syncs with Firefox so I don't have to copy-paste in a flash drive every time I update my passwords.
Best password manager in terms of functionality and convenience.
Very nice but some times stucks Peringkat 3 dari 5 bintang
It's very useful and visually good but some times stucks, some times i got login troubles to lastpass account.
edit page a bit slow.
3.3.1 is SO much better than 4.1.20 Peringkat 1 dari 5 bintang
I've been using LastPass for years. My only annoyance with the interface is that it wouldn't display my secure notes in alpha. Try as I might, I couldn't fix it.
Then 4.1.20 appeared, and voila, the notes sort correctly. But 4.1.20 is really slow compared to 3.3.1. It relies upon FF to draw windows that it then populates with data. 3.3.1 draws its own boxes. 4.1.20 also seems to require me to peel through more layers than 3.3.1 to get where I need to be.
Whatever LP might have gained in aesthetics by modernizing its chrome, it lost because it tried to do it within the FF tool set. Definitely not as pretty as it could be. But more importantly, it is SO much slower.
Needless to say, I'm staying with 3.3.1 until they pry it out of my cold, dead hands ...
The best and useful password manager for Firefox Peringkat 5 dari 5 bintang
It's gotten a lot of slack, but it's still the best password manager for Firefox.
Old design Peringkat 4 dari 5 bintang
Extension is overall great, but the design is outdated compared to Chrome extension.
When are we seeing Material overhaul or at least something more Firefox-y? :(
5+ Peringkat 5 dari 5 bintang
latest LastPass 4.1.24 seems to work fine... Peringkat 5 dari 5 bintang
I'm running Firefox 48 and updated LastPass today to version 4.1.24. The reason is the latest security bug. After some testing everything seems to work fine: no issues, no bugs....
I installed the latest and safe add-on for Firefox from the homepage of lastpass.
Went back to 3.x , the one on addons.mozilla.org Peringkat 5 dari 5 bintang
Version 3 works. Version 4 ... works on Apple mac +safari, works on same mac + firefox 47.x
But version 4 does NOT work with firefox 47.x on win7
So: fall back to LP 3
Apparently there IS a reason the addon-site doesn't "approve" this version - yet-
The menu bubble was empty after login, and made some "script on this page is still running" comments appear.
Neither continue, nor stop-now would work.
Still the best Peringkat 5 dari 5 bintang
Version 4 is better then 3 imho. Though I like the simple UI of version 3Pengguna ini memiliki 1 ulasan terdahulu untuk pengaya ini.
3.3.1 still safe and recommended Peringkat 4 dari 5 bintang
Review mostly a response to @amar7 :
3.3.1 is not vulnerable to the 2 flaws reported recently and fixes in the 4.x series. 3.x is still more stable, secure and recommended over 4.x for now..
In general, my favorite of the password manager options. I recommend making sure "Automatically Fill Login Information" is off and using a 2nd auth factor for a bit of added protection.
IMHO still the best Peringkat 5 dari 5 bintang
If you need a password manager solution that will work across all platforms (including smart phones), all OSes, all browsers and that is more than affordable (many users can use it for free and even a premium account is very affordable compared to competitor prices), LP is for you. Storing passwords on servers is always risky, but using poor passwords or the same passwords everywhere is much, much, much more risky today!
Regarding all the comments about 4.x: 4.x is still not stable, it's an alpha version. So it has bugs, it may not always work correctly, it may be slow, functionality may be missing, it may fail completely if there is a browser update. That's what alpha means. Seriously, how can you install an alpha version and then make complains like that and give poor ratings? That's also why there is no autoupdate to 4.x Users have to decide themselves if they want to test alpha versions. Once 4.x is considered stable enough to replace 3.x, there will be an autoupdate for sure. Right now you are not missing anything if you stay with 3.x (the biggest changes are the new UI look so far).
As amnesia mentioned, download from LastPass website! Peringkat 1 dari 5 bintang
I really like this add on, but since Mozilla is still not able to quickly test and release add on updates, I've been using the old version all this time. Unfortunately the new version is very much slower, though I like new look.
Thanks amnesia for the mention, now I'm running the latest 4a.
@mecki78: There's a new vulnerability, that can steal all your passwords with version 3.x !! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/07/27/zero_day_hole_can_pwn_millions_of_lastpass_users_who_visit_a_site/
So inform yourself befor spreading misinformation about the biggest change being "the new UI look so far"
Unusable right now Peringkat 1 dari 5 bintang
The latest version (4.1.21a) doesn't work with Firefox 47.0.1 - clicking on Preferences does nothing. Given that previous versions have a security flaw that allows sites to steal your passwords, right now this is an add-on that must be avoided.
Get the addon from the Lastpass website. It is more updated than the version on Firefox addon repository. Peringkat 3 dari 5 bintang
Despite both the Lastpass website and Mozilla website state the addon is at version 4.0, the version on the Lastpass website has the new UI, whereas the one from here is the old version. Love Lastpass, just be warned, and hope it will be fixed.
Stay with version 3 Peringkat 3 dari 5 bintang
I agree with the others, the new version 4 is not very well coded. It's slow, not easy to use and we waste time on a few operations. And sometimes it just bugs completely and I have access to nothing except white pages.
At the end I've been running 3.3.1 and I won't change for a while.
Ps: I'm also a paid user, but that doesn't change anything.
Gone downhill Peringkat 2 dari 5 bintang
I love Lastpass but since LogMeIn bought it it's becoming worse and worse. First they made a shitty new UI, now they won't even fix the blank forms and email/pw forms not saving issues, last but not least it's making Firefox SO SLOW! I hate not having the cloud saving feature, but I am contemplating the move to Keepass.
Love Version3, but... Peringkat 1 dari 5 bintang
I'm a paid user, and I love Version3. BUT, the UI for version 4 is crap, cannot edit anything, it's unusable.
Very Useful Peringkat 5 dari 5 bintang
I use it in my PC and my laptop and synchronization works without any problem.
I save a lot of time tiping keywords and user names.

They do explain this in their terms and conditions, but there is nothing on the order form or front page that even hints that you're about to sign up for recurring fees.

Skill Level Intermediate
When you're working with HTTP, get requests are strictly intended for reading data. However, sometimes you need to modify data. In this video we'll configure Express to handle other types of requests. Let's get the exercise files going. Open up chapter 5, video 4, and then copy the start folder to your desktop. Now let's install the modules. Go to Terminal, and then change Directory to that Start folder. I'm going to drag this folder into Terminal to get the path. Now type npm install.
Now I'm going to drag the Start folder onto Sublime Text. Let's take a look at app.js. Currently there is just one route defined. It's the flight number route. Let's add another route we can use for marking specific flights as arrived. Instead of using a get request, I'm going to create a put request using the put method. This path is going to be similar, but I'm going to add arrived to the end. We're using put because we're making changes to data on the server. Let's also change to a different function name.
I'm going to call this arrived. Now, when I first started building web applications, I didn't really pay much attention to the verbs used in HTTP requests. I knew that if I set the method on a form element to get, all of the form data would appear in the URL, but if I set it to post, it wouldn't. I eventually learned more about HTTP verbs and the intent behind them. To learn more about HTTP, I recommend watching David Gassner's web services title in the lynda.com library, particularly the chapter on using Restful Web services.
Now let's go back to the code and create a function to handle that put request. We've already decided we want that function to be named arrived so let's go to routes and index.js and then create a new function called arrived. Just like the get function we're going to receive the request and response objects as arguments. This function is going to be very similar to the get function with a few minor differences. So let's copy the entire body of the get function, and paste it down into arrived. First, we're going to use the trigger arrive method to change the flight record.
And now, instead of sending back the flight information, we're going to send a status. So now, let's go to the server, and test. I'm going to start the server by typing node app, and then return. Looks like there's a small parse error in my code. Let's go back. Instead of typing a semicolon, I typed an l. Let's fix that. Now, let's try starting the server again. So after taking care of the parse error, the server is now listening on port 3000. Just as before, I can load up flight information. So I've loaded up flight 33.
Now, what I need to do is create a put request, so I can mark this flight as arrived. In the past, I've used quick HTML-markup forms to get the browser to help me generate post requests to the server. While this worked for me when I was in a pinch, it's very limiting. You can't use every HTTP verb in a form element, and you can't customize your requests with different headers. Command line tools like Curl are much more flexible. But they tend to be cumbersome if you don't remember all of the flags.
These days, I use a tool called Postman. Now, don't worry. It lets you do far more than post requests. Postman lets you craft HTTP requests exactly the way you want them. Without the need to learn a bunch of command line options for something like Curl. It's available as a free download from the Google Chrome store. So now, lets generate this put request. I am going to copy the URL that I used for the get request and paste it in here. Then I am going to add /arrived to the end of the URL.
Now I am going to change the method to put, now to make this request all I need to do is click the Send button. It kicks back a status of done. And now I can go back to the original record and hit refresh and it'll give me the actual arrive property. Routing different HTTP verbs in Express is as easy as using different methods. As you build out an API, using the appropriate verbs will help other programmers know how to use your service. Routing different HTTP verbs in Express is as easy as using different methods.
As you build out an api using the appropriate verbs will help other programmers know how to use your service. In the next video we'll look at ways of adding functions applying to all HTTP requests.

Alas, the Lovie Bowl teams have six wins between them. The Bears' turnover-driven defense of the Smith era is a fading memory, and the coach's current defense has been more "ewww" than Tampa 2.

Bradley: Peterson The Best at 140, Beats Matthysse
by Luis Sandoval
Timothy Bradley held a media workout yesterday at the Fortune Gym in Hollywood, CA as he prepares to defend his WBO Welterweight title for the first time against Ruslan Provodnikov on March 16th live on HBO. Bradley was very personable with the media as he talked about a variety of topics as he worked out.
One of the topics of discussion was current IBF Junior Welterweight champion Lamont Peterson who just put on a dominant performance as he stopped Kendall Holt in 8 rounds this past Friday. Bradley shared how impressed he was with Lamont to the media in attendance.
"You guys seen that Lamont [Peterson] fight? He looked vicious huh? Lamont looked vicious, he looked good" said Bradley with a smile.
Peterson is already being slated to face feared interim WBC Junior Welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse May 18th though nothing has been finalized or confirmed. Not only does Bradley believe Peterson will beat Matthysse if they fight, he gave Peterson the highest of compliments by declaring him the best fighter at 140 pounds.
"Man when that fight happens I'm coming to take all ya'll money. I'm going to take all ya'll money. [Lamont has] guts and heart. The kid will find a way to win. And I fought him. The dude don't give up. Mathysse doesn't have the boxing ability to outbox Lamont. At all. I promise you. No way. Lamont right now is the best 140 pounder in the world. He beats everybody. Even Danny [Garcia]. Lamont beats all of them. He got a chin on him and everything. Take that to the bank. Lamont is beating all of them" declared Bradley.
Bradley holds a win over Peterson but turned down a rematch with him late last year. Bradley confirmed he plans to stay at 147 but would consider moving down to 140 for the right fight.

Plugin works smoothly and I have got just 1 issue.
FB social plugins on wordpress don't work well if we don't add the href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>".
Example: <fb:like colorscheme="light" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
Adding the permalink will make sure counts are right for the post page even if the URL is http://www.exaple.com/?12345 or http://www.exaple.com/#comment1
But when I add the get_permalink function to sharebar my buttons stop working, probably because PHP code is not allowed.
How can I fix this? Is there a way to get the permelink on WordPress without using PHP? I think there isn't. So, can you enable PHP on Sharebar?

The Scoop
When we are relaxed, focused and healthy, we are better equipped to excel in our day-to-day lives. During our school years this is particularly important, because this critical time paves the way to achieving success as an adult. Over the years, yoga has become increasingly popular as more and more people recognize its ability to improve overall health and well-being. Recently, schools have begun to incorporate yoga programs into students' schedules, in an effort to improve their health and well-being, and in turn, their ability to learn. While some agree that this is a good idea and can greatly benefit our young people, some parents have opposed the idea because of yoga's ties to religion and spirituality.
Encinitas Union School District (EUSD) has been under fire since introducing yoga to its 6,000 students in August 2012 after receiving a $530,000 donation from the The Jois Foundation, a yoga center based on the ashtanga form of the practice. While the program is not mandatory, many parents are outraged, and one parent couple recently filed a civil suit against the school, requesting that they remove the yoga lessons because it hurts their children's religious sensibilities.
"EUSD's Ashtanga yoga program represents a serious breach of the public trust," the couple's lawyer, Dean Broyles, said in a statement. "This is frankly the clearest case of the state trampling on the religious freedom rights of citizens that I have personally witnessed in my 18 years of practice as a constitutional attorney," added Mr. Broyles, whose says the lawsuit does not seek money damages.
Despite the controversy surrounding yoga in schools due to its religious and spiritual ties, the White House has made a stand to support yoga and encourage Americans to incorporate the practice into their lives. In addition to hosting a "Yoga Garden" during their Easter Weekend festivities, they've also incorporated yoga into PALA+, the next phase of their PALA (Presidential Active Lifestyle Award) campaign, which is designed to motivate Americans to make physical activity and healthy eating part of their everyday life. Participants who complete the Yoga PALA Challenge and achieve their physical activity and nutrition goals receive a Presidential Active Lifestyle Award.
According to a statement made by the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, "Yoga has become a universal language of spiritual exercise in the United States, crossing many lines of religion and cultures. Everyday millions of people practice yoga to improve their health and overall well-being. That's why we're encouraging everyone to take part in PALA+."
So how do the parents in Encinitas feel about this?
"Regarding the PALA initiative, I am completely for encouraging kids to be healthy," says Dean Broyles, the attorney representing the families who object to yoga being taught in Encinitas Union School District, which manages nine schools.
"However, to the extent the White House may be using taxpayer resources to promote religion, I have a big problem with that since it is a violation of the Establishment Clause guaranteeing what many call the 'separation of church and state.' Religious freedom is a bedrock principle of our country. The government should not be picking religious winners and losers," adds Mr. Broyles.
On the other hand, David Miyashiro, assistant superintendent of education services in the Encinitas School District says, "I think that in all areas of exercise and fitness, folks of all beliefs and viewpoints are recognizing the benefit of stretching, strength building and breathing."
The school yoga hearing is scheduled to start on May 20, 2013. John Meyer, the judge presiding over the hearing, practices yoga himself, but has assured Broyles that he will rule based on facts and laws, not on his personal experiences and beliefs.
What does ACE think?
"Research continues to demonstrate the numerous positive physiological and psychological benefits that mind-body exercise like yoga provides," says Jessica Matthews, ACE Exercise Physiologist and Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT). "From improving flexibility, balance and muscular strength and endurance to enhancing cognitive performance, reducing stress and improving relaxation and overall psychological well-being, it's extremely encouraging to see both the government and schools embracing the practice of yoga and encouraging individuals of all ages and beliefs to engage in more physical activity to lead happier, healthier lives," adds Matthews, who is an associate faculty member at MiraCosta College, teaching courses in the Yoga Certification Program.
"We're facing an obesity epidemic in our country that extends to youth and offering yoga provides a positive opportunity for kids to move and feel empowered about their abilities to be active," says Todd Galati, ACE's Director of Credentialing, who is also a parent of an elementary school student.
What does this mean for me?
From animal-inspired yoga that your kids will love to unique yoga-inspired classes, there are a number of creative ways that you and your family can reap the many benefits of yoga in support of a more active, healthy lifestyle.

CUSTOMER SERVICE: Rude and Unprofessional
SHIPPING: Unreliable
PRODUCT QUALITY: Over expired rotting supplements
The Whole Story about Vitaglo:
I have used vitaglo for almost 5 yrs with NO issues.Unfortunately their customer service and product fulfillment has taken a complete nosedive this year. Financial problems, ownership change, who knows?
I ordered 100 bucks of Muscle Milk RTD back in Aug '07. 1 case arrived and the other never did. It gets better. The case that did arrive reeked like rotten expired milk!
A few of the RTD's had exploded and the rest of the RTD's had their seals detaching. Nonetheless it was disgusting and made a quick trip to the dumpster.
I called the customer service # and spoke to a absolute A** HOLE ! When I told him what happened he questioned my "story" and before I could discuss a resolution he hung up on me.
Keep in mind, with credit card receipts to prove it, I have spent close to $2,000 with vitaglo over the years. How would you feel?
However, I did send an e-mail and received a reply back from a Mike who acknowledged they were having a problem with their RTD supplier.
He couldn't give a refund but he did offer me $100 credit. Fine, I own a business, mistakes happen.. Hatchet was buried......I thought..
When I chose to use the credit, I contacted him and he never responded again. I sent an additional 2 e-mails and still no reply.
Conclusion: They lost a life long customer

Sports tourists bring business to Sarasota
Published: Monday, March 3, 2014 at 11:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 3, 2014 at 11:52 a.m.
SARASOTA - A repeat sports competition hosted in the Sarasota area continues to bring consistent business to Sarasota stores and hotels, a study by the Temple University Sport Industry Research Center found.
The Philadelphia-based research center specifically studied the economic impact of the First Watch Sarasota Half Marathon, finding that revenue generated by the running race increased by 10 percent from 2012 to 2013 and pumped $2.5 million into the local economy.
Research suggest that families and competitors are likely turning sports trips into mini-vacations:
--Roughly 2,700 extra visitors came to Sarasota during the race to support family and friends.
--77 percent of the 3,500 participants were non-local, and 41 percent of these participants stayed in hotels for an average of two nights.
--Accolades gathered about the race included the scenic course, the post-race party and local beaches.
It's a trend not unfamiliar in an area growing into a major sports tourism hub. Race organizers expect the event to sell out at 4,200 participants.
Other events, like the Sarasota Pan American Cup, a series of sprint triathlon events held at Nathan Benderson Park, also are seeing growth. Registration for the sprint triathlon championship for elite competitors has doubled for both men and women as the race changed to a shorter distance.
In its inaugural year, the race attracted about 40 men and 25 women. This year, roughly 60 men and 40 women are registered for the main sprint championship on March 8, race director Bill Burnett said.
Race officials project that roughly 1,000 people will come out to support about 400 competitors in junior, mixed and age-group races during that weekend.

REST is part of an integrated plan to advance the science teaching experience for high school students and teachers, engage undergraduates in science and research and reach out to the local, largely Hispanic community to promote awareness in scientific research and applicability.
a number of educational and human resource development programs and we will develop and into Texas State's efforts to increase participation of underrepresented minorities and women in materials science and engineering research and professional development.
Initiative 1: Research Experience for Science Teachers (REST)
According to the report to the President from the President's Council of Advisors on Science and technology: "The success of the United States in the 21st century – its wealth and welfare – will depend on the ideas and skills of its population. These have always been the Nation's most important assets. The problem is not a lack of skills but a lack of interest in STEM fields by the students."[1] One of the two conclusions of the report was that "to improve STEM education, we must focus both on preparation and inspiration" We must prepare all students, including girls and minorities who are underrepresented in these fields, to be proficient in STEM subjects. Two of the recommendations of the panel were "to recruit and train more STEM teachers and create opportunities for inspiration through individual and group experiences outside the classroom."[1]
Teachers have the most impact on the decisions that students make upon entering a college and deciding on a Major. There are over 100,000 science teachers in US and over 16,000 physics teachers.[1] However, in the state of Texas, there has been a continuous shortage of science teachers since 1990.[2] Moreover, no transcript analysis is required for Texas high school teachers to determine whether they have formal training in each of areas covered in the teaching assignment or whether the earned grades of the potential teacher indicate sufficient mastery of the subject. [3] A research study in Texas[3] showed that among all science subjects, the most notable lack of training was within the content area of physics, for which only 8.6% of the physics teachers had more than eight semester credit hours of physics.
Science teachers have described a general ambivalence toward teaching when interacting with university science and math faculty. [4] They reported that one of the biggest challenges was motivating and engaging students in classroom work, and use content-based teaching strategies (beyond lecture) to actively engage students.
The objective of this initiative is to improve science teaching in high schools, and science teacher retention rates and quality through targeted professional development of the science teachers by expanding their science knowledge and content and increasing their confidence in their scientific training and understanding and supporting them.
More specifically, their training will have the following components:
Initiative 2: "Field Trips" and " Open House"- Outreach
The REST teachers will present their research experience and the "science in everyday life" modules and communicate their excitement in their science classes during the year. We will encourage a visit of a group of students from their high school that took a scince class and expressed an interest for a "Field Trip Day". The goal is to engage students in learning by relating their everyday life experiences to scientific principles and methodology so that they can experience the applicability and practicability of science. Dr. Theodoropoulou and her undergraduate and graduate students will prepare a lecture on Physics principles and a set of demonstrations in the Research Labs. We will tour the research Labs, the MBE facilities, the Clean Room, the Electron Microscope, the Atomic Force Microscope.

Pain Management Health Center
Shoulder Separation Injuries
A shoulder separation is the partial or complete separation of two parts of the shoulder: the collarbone (clavicle) and the end (acromion) of the shoulder blade (scapula). A shoulder separation can be type I, in which the acromioclavicular (AC) ligament is partially torn, but the coracoclavicular (CC) ligament is not injured. In a type II shoulder separation, the AC ligament is completely torn, and the CC ligament is either partially torn or not injured. A type III shoulder separation occurs when both the AC and CC ligaments are completely torn.

This tea is smooth and satisfying. I add only grated ginger. I add a cup of filtered water that has been heated to almost boiling (1 minute 30 seconds in my microwave) to 1 1/2-2 teaspoons of tea. I steep it for 2 minutes and enjoy. I can get a second cup from the tea if I steep for 4-5 minutes. The first cup of tea is green. Recycled tea leaves produce a brownish tea.

Combining with an extracellular signal and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein; promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G-protein complex.
The function of absorbing and responding to incidental electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light. The response may involve a change in conformation.
A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane (PMID:24568158 and PMID:16902576).
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the division of the cytoplasm of a cell, and its separation into two daughter cells.
The covalent or noncovalent attachment of a chromophore to a protein.
The series of events required for an organism to receive a visual stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Visual stimuli are detected in the form of photons and are processed to form an image.

One of my favourite things about being alive is music festivals. Those crazy, sacred places where you get a sense of a different kind of world void of normal society's rules, and where you know that all the glow-sticked, muddy-footed fellow revellers are there for a common purpose: for the love of music and fun. At festivals, the new norms include smiling and saying hi when you make eye contact with someone, and if this happens during a show, you have to have a mini boogie together. And if you're me, you whip out your stash of glitter and shiny stars to stick on friends you make while waiting in line for the loo. The first ever Eaux Claires fest in Eau Claire, Wisconsin was one of my favourites of all time, maybe because there was something extra special about all of us taking a chance on an inaugural affair, or perhaps because most of the acts hadn't been featured on the big festival circuit like Coachella and Bonnaroo. It was like one big campout with 22, 000 of your mates who are mates with all the coolest bands. And that may be what I liked the most – the chance to hear good music live and fall in love with something new. It's hard to narrow down the highest highlights after two days filled with jam after jam, but these are the ones that will forever be imprinted in my festival heart.
Some Music For Spring
So they days have finally gone from being about white tundra, grey skies and air so cold it hurts to breath, to late sunsets, skin prickling with warmth and the fantasies of festival season. It's only right that the music mood changes too, and this playlist is my own version of a summer roadtrip that covers all the outdoor revelry plus a tinge of the nostalgia that's as inevitable as the turning of Earth.
Be warned that this is a Passion Pit peppered playlist, and listening to 'Whole Life Story' (from the new album, Kindred) especially makes me so desperately want to geek out to Michael Angelakos and the gang live. Perhaps at the same festival that I'm imagining where I'm swaying to Courtney Barnett's dreamy steel guitar in 'Depreston' in the late afternoon, and then that night being warm and sticky, jumping up and down, hands clapping high overhead scream singing "I HAVE NEVER REACHED SUCH HIGHS!!" during Jamie xx's DJ set. And of course Kendrick Lamar would have to be there performing the album that is most likely to be named one of the most important of our times (because if you're not listening to To Pimp A Butterfly, you're not listening) and the song with the most DEElicious bassline of the decade so far (that's 'King Kunta').
There are also older songs from my '50s/'60s girl group obsession phase (Cults falls into this category because they are like a modern incarnation of that sound and style), which was inspired by a documentary called 50 Feet From Stardom about backup singers. Hence the significance of Lou Reed singing "and the coloured girls go…" in 'Walk on the Wild Side' and why I will always mentally see a young Luther Vandross giving it his all behind David Bowie in this video for 'Young Americans'.
Lastly, there's Michelle Branch's 'All You Wanted' thrown in simply because it is one of my favourite songs to sing out loud, and it specifically reminds of a Monday orthodontist appointment when I officially decided I liked this song after seeing this video on MTV. So listen and enjoy, and most importantly, ask yourself why I am not an actual festival line-up co-coordinator person because this playlist is nothing but a darn good jam.
Five Song Playlist for A
This is a birthday post for one of my favourite music lovers, with whom I spent a few glorious years making memories soundtracked by these, and many other, tunes. She definitely deserves credit for introducing me to so much music that I now can't live without, and consider myself lucky to be able to consult her wikipedic mind for pretty much anything music-related. I can't forget how much she obsessed about the brilliance of 'St John' and how she reinforced her super coolness by introducing me to the Brazilian Girls. And I love that she is someone that I can genre hop with so we can have KRS-One and the B-52's on the same playlist. Here's to the roadtrips, music festivals, parties and jams and our (obviously) exceptional taste in music. Happy Birthday A!
Dear 2015, I Already Love You
This year looks like it's going to be the year of my favourite music releases. Pretty much every morning when I wake up and scroll some news feed or other there's always a little teaser, or even better, a whole new single that gets me right in the gut – a tear was shed for Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and I screamed a little when I saw the headline NEW FLORENCE + THE MACHINE.
So, here are some singles (and/or a teaser video) from my Top Six Most Anticipated Albums of the Year: Why I Think 2015 is Going to Musically Rule. It's particularly exciting because a few of these artists (like Passion Pit and Florence) are releasing their third albums, which is when I think bands (and TV shows on their third seasons) really hit the sweet spot. By the third record, musicians tend to be more comfortable in their skins and they're past the pressure of the sophomore album that has to be as good as the debut. My ears can't wait.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra – I have 'Multi Love' on heavy rotation while I impatiently wait for the new album.
Passion Pit – I JUST WANT THE NEW MUSIC (in the meantime I'll just listen to Sleepyhead over and over and over)
Florence + The Machine – I want more of Florence's voice in my life. Not want. Probably need.
Alabama Shakes – I missed you (lead singer) Brittany!
Donnie Trumpet + The Social Experiment – There's enough Chance the Rapper and co. to hold me over on Soundcloud…for now.
Courtney Barnett – She's one of my favourite Australians and has some killer quirky songwriting skills. She also once said I could join her Anonymous Club.
Sam Smith vs Tom Petty & My Favourite Copyright Cases
So, if you ever listened to Sam Smith's über-ballad 'Stay With Me' and thought that it sounded kind of familiar, you were right. The male Adele just quietly settled a charge of copyright infringement by Tom Petty, whose people said that 'Stay With Me' sounded too much like the 1989 track 'Won't Back Down'. When I first read the news I kept singing both choruses over trying to find the link, and they definitely do sound alike. But the tune is kind of generic in that it's melodically logical (for easy-on-the-ears listening) so it's kind of a forgivable mistake to make.
Tom Petty actually acknowledged that this sort of unintended imitation happens all the time, and usually, any noticeable links between songs are caught before a track leaves the studio. I admire his coolness about the situation, because what is modern music if not a bunch of borrowings and inspiration? (It's still a little shitty for Sam Smith as the little guy who has to split his mega-earnings and songwriting credit with legends who probably need the credit and cash a lot less, though.)
This mash-up highlights the undeniable similarities (and sounds pretty sweet): Continue reading
Musical Cupcakes II
Today, I thought about living in the age of album leaks and what an unnecessarily destructive act of vandalism it is – Bjork's album was released yesterday instead of sometime in March because of internet bean spillers, and Madonna had to do the same a few weeks ago. As a fan of music, I don't understand why anyone would want to take the joy out anticipation and release-date countdowns, and why you wouldn't want to respect that the artist wants to share their work only once they feel it's completely ready? Album leaking is like breaking into a photographer's dark room and publishing all the undeveloped images (I know this example probably isn't the best in the digital age), and should be treated like a crime. I also want to know who the actual leakers are – is it someone on the inside with a specific agenda or an individual with so much loathing that they want to take the simple joys out of life for everybody else? Somebody help me understand!!
Rant over. Now I'd like to turn the attention to my Musical Cupcakes – delicious ear treats that are like rainbows on a cloudy day:
First, one of my favourite acts of 2014 remixed a track on the debut album of one of my other favourite acts of 2014. (That's Wye Oak and Sylvan Esso respectively).
I rediscoverd this sing-out-loud (not a) guilty pleasure by Daniel Bedingfield circa 2009. The song does get many cool points though because the track was produced by Mark Ronson, one of the actual coolest people on the planet.
I'm fairly new to the music of Rubblebucket, and this KEXP performance made me officially fall in love, mainly because of all the brass bedazzled tunes. Also, as anyone knows, I'm a sucker for female led bands, and Kalmia Traver is extra awesome because she has an awesome voice, a tambourine strapped to her shoe and a history of kicking cancer's ass.
My Favourite Songs of 2014
Ok, so before this year gets steamrolling with music I really love (I'm already smitten with an EP of dance tracks that samples space sounds recorded by NASA and an upcoming album by a band whose oldest member is only 16 (!)) I must share the tracks I loved in 2014. The year can be summed up as a musical dream come true, mainly because La Roux finally released an album after FIVE YEARS of luminous electro-poplessness and I could once again dote on her fabulous falsetto. And then,to add to the dream, I got to see her perform live: she was amazing and cool and she danced and played guitar and threw a sweat towel into the audience.
So this playlist obviously includes my Queen of Pop (La Roux's pop perfection is a whole 'nother post) and many ditties that are contenders to be my personal Song of the Year. Ultimately, I'd have to give that title to 'Hey Mami' by Sylvan Esso, because even though I've listened to it an abusive number of times, the tune actually still physically gets me every time Amelia Meath starts singing and the electronics drop a few seconds later. Plus, 'Hey Mami' is a bit of a feminist anthem calling out cat calling, and there's nothing I like more than a good jam with a good point.
As for Album of the Year, I want to say Chet Faker's Built on Glass for it's albuminess (take that The Album is Dead theorists!). The collection of tracks works best when listened to as a whole, and though there are single songs, like 'Talk is Cheap', that could be played on their own all day, most are best in the context of the thoughtful 51 minutes. Chet Faker also appears twice in this playlist because 'Lesson in Patience' is just the perfect track to wind down a party or listening session, and my favourite thing about it is that the song is so named because Faker doubts his sax playing skills (for no reason!).
So here's my 2014 in a nutshell.The best thing about the beginning of a new year is the thought of all the music that is going to embellish the seasons, and the thought of a soundtrack to remind you of those that have been.

To the Editor.
—The article by Dr Litwin and colleagues1 makes it clear that significant morbidity is associated with all modalities of managing localized prostate cancer, including surgery, radiation, and observation. Is there any way of avoiding this? A conceptually simple method would be to give the patient the opportunity of completely opting out of the prostate cancer case-finding process. The rationale for this is straightforward. First, in the absence of controlled prospective studies, it is unknown whether any case-finding procedure for prostate cancer decreases mortality.2,3 Second, the detection of a prostatic nodule on digital rectal examination (DRE) or the finding of an abnormal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level results in a cascade of events that entail psychological and physical morbidity and sometimes even death.Were we to accept this approach, we would present each patient with the data required for him to give informed consent for a DRE

FILM REVIEW: "The Disappearance of Alice Creed"
'Alice Creed' a taut, twisty thriller
Published: Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 5:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 5:14 p.m.
There's so much to say about "The Disappearance of Alice Creed," so much to pore over and praise. Trouble is, the less you know about this movie heading into it, the better.
Film facts
"The Disappearance of Alice Creed," an Anchor Bay Films release, is rated R for violent content, pervasive language and some sexuality/nudity. Running time: 100 minutes.
The film opens Aug. 6 in limited release. For showings and ticket prices, call 1-888-AMC-4FUN or visit www.movietickets.com or www.fandango.com.
Three and a half stars out of four.
So ... what can we say about it, then?
Well, it's one you should definitely see: a small, intelligent thriller you'll be glad you went out of your way to find, especially during the summer when so much is so mindless. It's so deftly handled, so sharp and clever, you'd never know it's the first feature from British writer-director J Blakeson. A tense, twisting tale about the kidnapping of a wealthy man's daughter, "Alice Creed" keeps you on your toes as secrets are revealed and allegiances shift. With its three characters in a cramped space, it has the claustrophobic feel of watching a play on film. Yet there's also a dry sense of humor that surfaces sporadically and keeps it from being completely suffocating.
But perhaps we've already said too much ...
Anyway, "Alice Creed" sucks you in immediately with a beautifully edited opening sequence. The whole film moves really well, but off the top it's especially fluid, as two guys wordlessly go to a hardware store to pick up supplies. Then they quickly and efficiently outfit a shabby, one-bedroom apartment with soundproofing and extra locks and line the inside of a nondescript white minivan with plastic sheeting. One of them says to the other, "OK," and that's it. Then they're off to steal away with the young woman.
We learn later that their names are Vic (Eddie Marsan) and Danny (Martin Compston). Their target, Alice (Gemma Arterton), is the daughter of a rich businessman. Once inside the apartment, they strip her down and place her in different clothes, tie her spread-eagle to a bed, then place a ball gag in her mouth and a pillowcase over her head. (And if there is a complaint to be had here, it's that the film has a slightly skeevy, exploitative vibe to it.)
And from there, Vic and Danny's scheme to make $2 million off Alice's father doesn't exactly go as planned. It never does, right? We know this going in and yet it's impossible not to be engaged, to hang on every word, wondering who's going to do what to whom next. "Alice Creed" feels almost quaint in its minimalism: It's all about story and character and pacing.
Barking orders and glaring intensely, Marsan — who was so great as Sally Hawkins' exasperated driving instructor in "Happy-Go-Lucky" — is even more formidable here. Scottish actor Compston is lean and squirrelly as the younger schemer who might not be as smart as he thinks. And Arterton, who recently co-starred opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," is a kick as the feisty, physical title character.
These guys thought they'd picked the perfect mark to make some easy money. Boy, were they wrong. But that's all we'll say about that.

Social gov
GSA's Sonny Hashmi
The General Services Administration's shift to modular contracts, cloud-based services and open architecture will continue, the agency's acting CIO said in an April 11 discussion.
During an hour-long GitChat -- a GitHub-based online discussion organized and produced by GovFresh -- acting GSA CIO Sonny Hashmi said the agency's investment in agile and modular contracts for IT will allow it "to buy just enough, ensure mission outcomes and then buy more as needed."
GSA will continue to buy various technologies "as a service" to align demand more closely with supply. "More of what we do will be in the open-source arena, so that poses new acquisition challenges for us, but we are working through them," he said.
Hashmi later added that in the future, more of GSA's resources will reside in the cloud, and its business systems -- particularly the "incredibly important" Integrated Award Environment and Common Acquisition Platform systems portfolios -- will migrate to open-first, API-driven architectures.
GSA also continues to seek alternatives to one-off IT systems for its federal agency customers. "Overall, we are looking to use what works...for us (public cloud services such as Google Apps for email), use someone else's solution if it's already available (partnering with other agencies for hosting, apps, modules, etc.), and focusing on common platforms that can be used over and over again (reuse of code, data, APIs), rather than monolithic built-from-scratch systems," he said.
Hashmi also said the conversation about cloud services at government agencies has evolved from "Can we do it?" to "How and when can we do it?" He attributed the change to the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program's common security framework for cloud solutions that all government agencies can use.
Hashmi said he serves on the FedRAMP Technology Evaluation Board with the CIOs of the Defense and Homeland Security departments, "and we are seeing a much higher level of capability maturity among the federal cloud service providers."
Hashmi's choice of venue for the discussion reinforced his emphasis on agile, open and collaborative IT approaches. Launched in 2008, GitHub is a platform for sharing and collaborating on code and has become an increasingly popular home for agencies' open-source IT projects. (The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency announced on April 11 that it was the latest agency to launch a public GitHub repository.)
GitHub government lead Ben Balter has been pushing the potential of non-code collaborations as well. A former presidential innovation fellow, Balter wrote and shared the code that allows for easy online Q&As on GitHub and has hosted his own with GSA's 18F team, Philadelphia's former Chief Data Officer Mark Headd and U.S. Open Data Institute Director Waldo Jaquith.
