Un apartamento muy bonito, pequeño, pero con muchas funcionalidades (microondas, nevera, cafetera, tostadora, cocina, TV, DVD, radio,...).
Cerca del centro y con buen servicio de transporte público.
Bernhard ofrece muchas facilidades y mucha información sobre los transportes, los lugares donde comer y algunas palabras básicas de checo.
Recomendable... Para repetir.
Nice apartment, small but well-appointed (microwaves, fridge, TV, DVD,...).
Close to Old Town and good transport connection.
Bernhard was very attentive and gave us a lot of facilities and information about the transport, eating places and also some basic Czech words.
Recommended... We'll repeat.
+Gute Lage
+netter Vermieter
+alles notwendige Vorhanden
+nahegelegene Einkaufsmöglichkeiten
Bardzo miły gospodarz, udzielił nam wielu cennych wskazówek z których skorzystaliśmy podczas pobytu. Mieszkanie czyste - dodatkowo gospodarz zapewnił nam możliwość przechowywania rowerów. Blisko do najlepszych miejsc do zwiedzania w Pradze. Polecam:-)
Das hat ja bestens funktioniert! Unkompliziert, freundlich, kommunikativ, die Gegebenheiten waren genau wie beschrieben.
Netter und praktischer geht's nicht. :-) Vielen Dank an Bernhard !
Der Gastgeber war leicht und rund um die Uhr zu erreichen. Er gab gute Tipps für Restaurants und Wechselstuben. Einen Stadtplan von Google Maps gabs obendrauf auch noch. Das Preis Leistungsverhältniss passt ihr sehr gut.
Wonderful place to stay at! The flat itself is nicely done up, the flat has a lovely owner. The area is recommendable because of its human prices - pubs and restaurants aren't that expensive.
Thank you, Bernhard, for the opportunity of staying at your place and especially for the useful information about the local surroundings!
All the best and take care!
Bernhard was good host. There was no problem with contact. He gave ass all information that we needed. Flat was cosy, and fully equipped. We had 3 min to tram and about 7 to metro. Everything was OK :)!
I stayed at Bernhard's not for the first time, so I can compare.
There were some difficulties with the placement. Bernhard was out, so his helpers were responsible for it.
Zuzanne doesn't speak English at all, only Czech, so we had to wait for Thomas. He helped us to go upstairs with the luggage and gave us the keys.
He didn't even explain what can we lock and unlock by using these keys.
The next problem was in using the washing machine. That is mentioned in the description that you can use it for the small fee. But in fact you can't use it in this building. We were given this information only after 2 days staying.
The use of iron is by request, this also was told in w days.
All in all, the apartments are not bad.
The service became wòrse.
I suppose, Bernhard will not be offended, because when he met us in 2014 everything was perfect.
It seemed to Bé a professional Person renting THE accommodation, not a private Person. Had to wait For long time before we Could enter THE apartment. And that was not a very Nice apartment.... Bit disappointed
Mr Schilling is a very kind and helpful person. He gave us all sort of information for a pleasant stay in Prague (how to deal with restaurants, public transportations, money exchange shops, shopping...). He was also very kind in providing an hair drier and an extra pillow on request. The apartment is nice and confortable. We had a great time there! As info for further guests: if he does not answer immediately when ringing to the bell, just call him on the provided phone number. We this happened to us, he joined us in 2 minutes after our call. We can definitely suggest this place!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Aggressive calf feeding makes more milk
Aggressive calf feeding makes more milk
Research has been piling up for nearly 20 years that the old mantra of one pound of regular replacer powder per calf per day does little more than just keep them alive – and that's if the weather is ideal; when the weather is nasty, it can actually help kill them.
The latest layer of compelling evidence comes from Michael Van Amburgh at Cornell University (pictured here). Lower mortality, less disease, faster rate of gain, earlier breeding, less culling, and more lifetime milk production are just some of the payoffs to aggressive feeding of calves prior to weaning. Cornell has used such a program for many years in its own herd and now has calf feeding and lactation data on over 1,200 head.
"When we evaluated the 450 animals that had completed a third lactation, we found a lifetime milk effect of preweaning average daily gain of over 6,000 pounds of milk depending upon preweaning growth rates," he says. "This suggests that colostrum status and nutrient intake and/or preweaning growth rate have a greater effect on lifetime milk yield, and account for more variation and progress in milk yield associated with the management of the calf than genetic selection. Generally, milk yield will increase 150 to 300 pounds per lactation due to selection, whereas the effect of management is three to five times that."
"The bottom line is, there is a positive economic outcome to improving the management of our calf and heifer programs starting at birth," he adds.

From the announcement on the mailing list:
The Grizzly Team would like to announce the release of Grizzly 2.0 RC1 (release candidate). This goal of this release was a stable core and solid API. While this is a significant step to getting Grizzly 2.0 finalized, we still have work to do in the area of documentation, performance, and resolving any feedback solicited by this release.The bits are available on our maven repository under the group ID com.sun.grizzly, versioned 2.0.0-RC1.
Here's some info on the artifacts that are currently available:
There are several samples available that demonstrate all of these modules in action.
- framework (artifact ID: grizzly-framework) : The core Grizzly runtime.
- http (artifact ID: grizzly-http) : HTTP protocol implementation, which contains HTTP Filters and utility classes to work with HTTP artifacts.
- webcontainer (artifact ID: grizzly-webcontainer) : Lightweight Grizzly web server implementation, which provides high level
abstractions based on the entities provided by the HTTP module. While the concept is similar to the Grizzly 1.x web server, it does expand this abstraction
idea by providing an API for non-blocking streams to read/write application content.
- websockets (artifact ID: grizzly-websockets) : Web Sockets implementation based on http module.
We're looking forward to hearing back from the community about their experiences using this release (either good or bad). Feel free to start a discussion on the grizzly mailing lists or send us an issue report.

You already read last week how generous my friends Lynette and Sonya were to blog about Knit-a-Square. I then had a new Etsy friend invite me to do a guest post on her blog. Alyssa and her sister Ashley make beautiful accessories for babies and children. Please stop by their shop Kadydid Designs and visit Alyssa's blog. She's sharing a recipe for raspberry white chocolate muffins today. I definitely have to go back and try that!
You see that I have made a button (thanks again to Sonya!) to spread the word about the challenge. You don't have to knit or crochet to add the button to your blog. Spreading the word is as important a part of the challenge as making squares is. So I want to thank those of you who have added the button to your blogs, Sonya, Alyssa and another new blogging friend, Carolyn, who has a beautiful blog on Wordpress. Thank you all so much! If you have grabbed the button, please let me know, so that I can share your blog here!
One of the things that inspires me the most about Knit-a-Square is that it is a family organization. Mother and daughter, Rhonda and Erin, live in South Africa. They were devastated by the plight of the children, but they didn't throw up their hands and say, "It's too big of a problem. We can't do anything." In 2008, they shared the horror of the situation with their family in Australia, wife and husband Sandy and Roger, daughters Kalai and Cressida and Sandy's, mother, Zanny. Together they came up with this extraordinary idea.
In 2009, they received 54,000 squares and 4,000 knitted garments, just one year after having the idea. Today we, and I proudly say we, because however we help, we are a part of KAS, we are more than 5000 people from 40 countries in the world who knit, crochet or donate time or money to help the orphans of South Africa. No one will ever convince me that a problem is too big or that there is nothing I can do! What the McDonald family has done is extraordinary!
|Kalai, Sandy and Cressida McDonald
It is natural then, since KAS was begun and is still run by a family, that a whole community has developed around the Knit-a-Square mission. If you have visited the website you have seen that in addition to all kinds of important resources, there is an ezine, The Square Circle, written by Sandy McDonald to keep us in touch by stories and photos of the children of South Africa. There is also a very active Circle Square forum filled with wonderful and friendly people that you can join.
Mary Anne is one of these lovely people that I have met in the Square Circle forum. She blogs about KAS and other crafting and has been crocheting squares for the children for some time. After she sent her last package to South Africa, Rhonda sent her an email thank you letter. Yes, the Rhonda who is at the heart of KAS sends personal notes to everyone who writes to her! Isn't that amazing? In Mary Anne's post that you can find here, she shares Rhonda's letter with us. Thank you, Mary Anne for letting me share it with my readers!
So, let's get going! Knit, crochet, felt, donate, spread the word! Tweet, Like on Facebook oh, and there is a group on Ravelry too.
Will you join us? Let us know !

Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! An active period of weather is upon us in southeast Wisconsin. In today's blog we do an LRC checkup to see where the pattern is at in our cycle, and when the next round of rain or snow hits the area.
While no major storm systems are in the works for our area in the short term forecast, quick disturbances continue to race by our area producing bursts of flurries and snow showers. The photo below was taken early Tuesday morning when snow showers swept through Milwaukee between 3-5am. Only a trace of snow was officially recorded at Mitchell Airport...the snowless streak continues.
A couple more rounds of flurries or snow showers will be possible into early Wednesday, then a nice warming trend returns to the forecast.
Any moisture is welcome with drought conditions still persisting in our area. On the heels of the 4th driest November on record with only 0.35" of precipitation in Milwaukee, some were worried about a dry December. Not Weather Watch 12, using Lezak's Recurring Cycle we were confident of an active period of weather when we issued our December forecast, and even farther back our winter forecast.
For a quick summary of what Lezak's Recurring Cycle is, check out the link to our winter forecast here.
The last time the active period occurred was around October 13-25. This period produced 2.73" of rain in Milwaukee as numerous weather systems took aim at the central U.S.
So far this December the active period has produced 0.90"(+0.13") of precipitation in Milwaukee, with more rain or snow looming for this weekend. Early indications show a good chunk of it being rain in Milwaukee, with a possible change to some snow.
After the weekend system passes, the focus will shift to the part of the cycle that produced Superstorm Sandy. The 'Superstorm' was basically a Nor'easter on steroids with a tropical influence. Remember the LRC is based on the 500mb or middle of the atmosphere flow. The long term long-wave trough at this level of the atmosphere will once again be in place, and so should a storm system.
Let's do a few map comparisons to show you how this system may look in this cycle. The 500mb map below is from October 29, 2012. This shows a large upper level trough over the mid-Atlantic.
The cycle duration for the current LRC pattern is around 51 days, give or take a day. The GFS computer model forecast below is 51 days after the map above, or 1 cycle into the future. The GFS shows a strong upper level low over the mid-Atlantic on December 19, 2012 at 12am.
Another computer model we use is the ECMWF or EURO. The 500mb forecast map below is valid on December 19, 2012 at 6pm. Again a large upper level low pressure area is present. The EURO has it positioned a little farther west and slower. As we near the 19th it look likely a storm system will form, probably favoring the East. Something we will keep very close tabs on...is this a 'signature' storm of this year's LRC?
When Superstorm Sandy hit the East back in late October it gave us northeast winds for a long duration. If this were to occur again we would need to watch for the potential for lake effect snow as colder air would likely be in place.
If you have questions about the LRC or the pattern, please feel free to ask.
For the latest weather information watch WISN 12 News, and for updates throughout the day follow me on Twitter @jnelsonweather
Have a great day!

The Planet Eclipse Ego11 Paintball Marker in Dark Trooper is the epitome of what a high end marker should be. The main design goal of Planet Eclipse over the past 18 months has been to develop smoother shooting markers with a reduced sound signature. These markers are able to handle even the most brittle, tournament grade paint. The Ego11 comes standard with an industry first bespoke solenoid, manufactured by MAC Valves USA. This solenoid incorporates twin flow control devices allowing for full customizability and control. Solenoid flow controls are used to independently adjust both the forward and rearward speed of the rammer and bolt meaning, for the first time ever in a poppet marker, the user can tune the feel of the marker. With a simple twist of a screwdriver, the Ego11 can be switched from a high speed, uncapped beast to the smoothest, gentlest and softest shooting poppet you have ever felt.
Of course, the solenoid isn't the only part of the Ego11 that received a complete overhaul. The brand new POPS ASA or Push On Purge System is a completely new concept in On/Off and Purging ASAs. The idea is simple, push back on the front æBonnet' section of the POPS and depress the air system valve pin gassing up the marker. Once gassed up the bonnet stays in position until the push button is depressed at which point the bonnet slides forward and the marker purges itself of air. The gassing and degassing process takes only seconds as opposed to previous generations of On/Off ASAs. The POPS also incorporates a front porting for the first time on an Eclipse ASA. Together with a new fitting that seals without the need for Loc-Tite or PTFE tape makes removal simple. The shortened macroline transports air into a second fitting in the new angled swivel on the exceptional SL3 regulator.
The SL3 regulator needs little introduction, it was first seen on last season's SLS and went on to appear on the Geo2. The SL3 retains all of the simplicity of previous Eclipse regulators while introducing many new features. Notably, the regulator seal has improved durability and can be flipped to for longer use. Piston replacement is no longer necessary with this new design. Improved regulation across a wide range of input pressures has also been achieved, providing superior performance with both HP (High Pressure) and LP (Low Pressure) Air Systems. Alternating between the two will have no effect on marker velocity. The benefit of this added stability is evident, you can now shoot the Ego11 at full velocity right down to the last 200-300psi.
The Ego11 has received some interesting changes to the frame and grips. The new frame profile sees a higher grip position, placing the rear hand still closer to the barrel axis and firing line. The all new grip design is slimmer in the middle section and sunk into the frame around most of its perimeter. These grips combine with a brand new molded rubber console that runs all the way up the back of the frame to add more comfort and grip. The combination of grip and console make the Ego11 by far the most comfortable and ergonomic Ego to date. Further, simple mechanical changes ensure that the grip screws clamp down firmly into place without the chance of crushing the grips or any internal components.
Inside the protective cocoon of the frame lies the Eclipse circuit board. Designed to negate the need for an expensive aftermarket æupgrade', this board has all of the features that the discerning player needs. The large screen LCD module provides excellent contrast in even the brightest sunlight. In low light situations a true color backlight can be customized to taste. It uses significantly less power than its OLED counterparts. Furthermore, in the event of damage, the LCD module can be quickly and easily replaced. Twin trigger sensing circuitry (microswitch or opto-electronic sensor) can be selected and tuned to individual requirements using multiparameter trigger debounce algorithms. Prioritized solenoid drive circuitry produces superb shot to shot consistency and rate of fire accuracy. An expansion port allows the Ego11 to be connected to a PC using the optional Eclipse E-Portal kit. It provides firmware reprogramming, splash screen design and control parameter editing functionality. A low power 16 bit microprocessor provides the brawn; and stable firmware refined over years of tournament play provides the intelligence. With all the adjustability and functionality you could ever need, the range of features on the Ego11 is simply breathtaking: a refill counter; ROF indicators; timers; audible indicators; RF transmitter compatible; you name it, the Ego11 board will do it.
Internally, the Ego11 boasts the Zick2 kit; the Cure3+ bolt; the SLS LPR; the same LP protection vent that was found in the Ego10; and the same infrared break beam sensor system used on all Eclipse markers to date. All of these internals are highly proven, tournament winning components. Up front, is the new Shaft4 barrel. Supplied in the same 14 inch, 0.689 bore configuration that has been receiving outstanding reviews since its launch on the Geo2, this two piece barrel has been redesigned for better efficiency and consistency. Also it is ported for a reduced sound signature. There really is no need to replace this exceptional, stiff arbor honed, premium barrel. Stayed tuned for optional extra boost with different bore sizes and tip lengths.
Finally, the Ego11 comes packaged in a newly designed zippered case along with a full hex key set, oil, barrel sock, a comprehensive spares kit, and a full color 84 page manual. The Ego11 is created with the modern player in mind. Giving them what they desire and want in a modern paintball marker: smoother shot, quieter sound signature, outstanding efficiency, unparalleled reliability, simplicity, ergonomics, built-in user adjustability, industry leading customer service, and an optional 50cal conversion kit. All this from a company that (whatever the situation, whatever the occasion) will always have your back. The Ego11, born of the player.
Please wait, your items are being added to the cart...

The body art was courtesy of none other than Kat Von D. Cyrus posted another photo on Twitter of Von D at work in her studio. Cyrus, dressed in black with her midriff exposed, is seen lying on a table as Von D, 31, inks her arm.
Von D shared her love for their session right back in an Instagram post. "Love, love loved tattooing you last night," she wrote, showing off a photo she used of Finley to do the portrait.
In September, Cyrus revealed that she'd tattooed the words "Rolling $tone" on the bottoms of her feet, honoring her first cover on the famed magazine with a post on Instagram.

Frank Ocean Cited for Marijuana Possession on New Year's Eve — Report
Frank Ocean rounded out 2012 with a legal kerfuffle. The 25-year-old musician was reportedly cited for possession of marijuana on Monday, according to KRNV Reno's News 4.
The Mono County Sheriff's Department reportedly saw a black BMW racing northbound on U.S. 395 on the holiday and, with the help of California Highway Patrol, stopped the speeding vehicle. When approaching the car, the deputy reportedly smelled marijuana. The Sheriff's Department says when Ocean (whose real name is Christopher Breaux) was searched, they found a small bag of weed on him. He was cited for possession and released.
During the stop and search, the officer reportedly gave Ocean a verbal warning for speeding and also allegedly cited him for driving with a suspended license, according to the Associated Press (via ABC News). His license was then reportedly confiscated and another passenger in Ocean's car was permitted to drive the car from the scene.
The Associate Press reports that Ocean was also pulled over on Sunday and allegedly cited for speeding, making Monday's stop the second in two days.
While Ocean's rep has yet to comment on the citations, Ocean himself has taken to Twitter to deliver a message to his fans. "hi guys, i smoke pot. ok guys, bye," he wrote on Thursday. "hi guys, i drive a m3. that bitch fast..ok guys, bye. :)"

Hi everyone,
My boyfriend and I are planning our trip to Slovenia. We are landing in Trieste and from there we'll be taking a direct bus to Ljubljana. We prefer not to rent a car.
Roughly, we are planning to visit the following:
- Ljubljana (2 days?)
- Lake Bled and surroundings (1 day?)
- Postojna caves
- Soca valley
- Bohinj
- Kranjska Gora
- maybe paragliding
We have 6 days (excluding day of arrival (evening) and the 4th, where we will be going to Trieste). Do you think that it is…
Hi, I am in bled to Do some hiking or perhaps cycling . If anyone wants to join in i would be pleased. As i don't have hiking Boots with me i won't Do the Most challenging tours.
I think i'll stay till wednesday.
Looking forward to her from you.
Is it just me, or is it really complicated getting from Italy to Slovenia.
I thought Trieste to Slovenia would be quick and easy but it takes a long.time. Trains seem to go via Austria.
Hello all!
My girlfriend and I are planning to explore Solvenia in May next year and were hoping to do at least an overnight tramp around Bled.
Any info would be awesome, ie, recommended trails, accommodation (we're used to New Zealand back country huts, so basically a roof and fire), weather at that time of year.
We both have quite a lot of experience tramping both on and off the beaten track and aren't afraid of a bit of a challenge.
Any info will be much appreciated!
Hi guys!
I'm thinking of embarking on my first solo trip, perhaps a little ambitiously, to Slovenia in end-October without a car. I'm hopeful about exploring parts of Bled, Bohinj and Soca valley within a short 6-day trip. I'm looking for any suggestions as to how this can be done, as I'm aware that weather won't be great, transport might be shut down, and I really don't want to be stranded alone! (That might scare me off future solo trips)
Thank you so much! :))
I've read that buses are hourly from Ljubljana to Bled but what time does the last one leave? We're travelling on 15th September and our train from Budapest gets to Ljubljana at 4.45pm. I've checked timetables and there doesn't seem to be a bus after 5.00pm. i looked at earlier date (Aug) and there are evening buses. I thought mid September would still be tourist season.
I will be in Slovenia for 1 weeks from mid September. For during the day do you think layers will be fine, that is: short sleeve top, a fleece zip-up and a light jacket. Then for the evenings (dinner time - 8pm-10pm) will a knitted top and a parka be required?
Hi all,
- I also posted this on the Tripadvisor Forum so I hope I'm not asking the same people :-) -
My partner and I will be going to Slovenia for a weekend mid-September. We arrive in Ljubljana on a Thursday evening and fly back around dinner time on Sunday. I normally don't plan ahead much but since we have such a short time I want to make sure I make the most out of it and not spend time on location arranging things that I can sort out now. But I need some help!
We are looking to do…
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…

As some of you may know, I joined the industry in November when I started at Security Systems News. This means that 2015 will be my first time at the ISC West show. I'd love to meet everyone, and hear everything, but that might not be possible, so reach out to me when you can. I already have several appointments set up, but I'll be as accommodating as I can be.
Also, give me a heads up on what you'd like to talk about. Definitely tell me if your company will be showcasing something big at ISC West, like mergers and acquisitions, new directions for the company, opening another central station or releasing a new software platform—or anything else notable.
If you want to meet me, or have something new to talk about with your company, feel free to reach out to me by email at email@example.com to set something up. Just let me know what you'll be doing at ISC West and where.
I look forward to seeing those of you who will be at the show in person!
BOCA RATON, Fla.—Tyco Security Products announced yesterday that it wants to invest in tech startups and other "innovators." TSP, a division of Tyco International, launched InnovationWorks, a program designed to "help innovators and entrepreneurs bring new and advanced ideas to the marketplace."
TSP is soliciting applicants who will present their "business ideas and goals" at the InnovationWorks Summit that will take place during ISC West (April 15-17) in Las Vegas. Interested? You need to apply online at http://innovationworks.tycosecurityproducts.com. You'll have to answer questions about your company/product profile, present funding, channels and unique selling points.
Applications will be reviewed by TSP VP of marketing Anita Santos (Santos is also an SEC accredited investor and owner of Ascend Investments), Tyco VP of corporate development Robert Locke, and other TSP managers. I have an interview request in to Santos. In a prepared statement, she said: "We encourage all those with creative products and ideas to submit an application on the InnovationWorks website."
SALT LAKE CITY—Alarm Protection Technology, also variously known as Alarm Protection and APT, will change its name next month to Alder.
On the heels of a big court win against resi giant ADT, which sued APT for trademark infringement and deceptive and fraudulent sales practices, APT told Security Systems News that a rebranding is in the works.
Before the ADT vs. APT case went to trial in February, a federal judge had issued a preliminary injunction preventing Alarm Protection Technology from using its APT acronym. So the company temporarily dropped the "T" and went by Alarm Protection, according to the company's general legal counsel, Adam Christian.
The company could go back to using its full name now that it has won its case, Christian said, but is opting instead to go with Alder.
"Alder, comes from alder tree. We like the symbol of the tree. It's a tree of protection, a tree of opportunity and it reflects family as well," Christian said.
It also reflects the company's future expected growth and expansion of services, he said, declining to comment specifically on what that service expansion will include.
"There will be other services that are closely aligned with protection and our interests," he said.
The Blackstone Group, which bought home security giant Vivint for $2 billion in 2012 is reportedly exploring the sale of security guard company AlliedBarton, according to a report this week from Reuters.
The report said the deal should be valued at about "$1.5 billion, including debt."
Blackstone has hired investment bank Credit Suisse Group AG to explore the sale, the report said.
The report quoted an AlliedBarton spokeswoman saying that it's "the right time for a new private equity sponsor."
That timing seems right or even a little overdue as PE generally holds a company for three to five years.
According the report, Blackstone has owned AlliedBarton for six years. Blackstone acquired AlliedBarton from Ronald Perelman's MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings in 2008 for up to $750 million, Rueters said.
Rueters said AlliedBarton has EBITDA of $150 million.
AlliedBarton, based in Conshohocken, Pa., has more than 55,000 employees and 120 offices.
Last week, AvantGuard's CEO, Josh Garner, told me a story. He had recently heard of a woman recovering from a fall, one who was set up with a traditional PERS unit. After hearing that it wouldn't work outside of the home, she hadn't left the house for 15 months, he said. After a dealer heard of this, he set her up with one of Securus' mPERS devices.
"Eventually, she took a walk to the garden, then she walked down the street," Garner told me. "She would test her device in all of these scenarios, and realized that if something were to happen to her… it still worked."
"She celebrated by buying a puppy [which] she walks around her block every day."
Garner wanted to incorporate this sense of Freedom into the naming AvantGuard's new sister company, Freeus, which recently acquired the PERS business built by Securus.
"We really liked having something that linked us to the past. Securus has had a legacy of innovation, developing products."
Thus, "freedom" and "Securus" combine to make "Freeus."
"It sounds crazy, but that story—to us—just epitomizes what our business is about, and it's delivering freedom to individuals," Garner said.
That's where the name comes from.
In the March issue of Security Systems News we launched a new series of stories dedicated to Women in Security Technology. It's a topic I've written about frequently. Here's a blog I wrote last May when I was at PSA-TEC and interviewed IST's Christine Lanning (who was also subsequently featured in our Women in Security feature in November.)
We decided to formalize the topic of Women in Security Technology into a series last month after I interviewed Ellen Cargill, CTO for video surveillance provider Scallop Imaging. Here's that story in case you missed it.
Since I wrote that story I've heard from a few people with suggestions of women to interview for the series, so I'm happy to have some interviews lined up and I'm looking for more. If you know a woman who works in a technical/technology role in the physical security industry who would be perfect for this series, please email me at email@example.com
In February, Security Partners appointed Rick Guzman to the role of west coast operations manager, where he will be overseeing both the new Las Vegas facility as well as the Anaheim facility. I got to speak with Guzman, as well as Bob Schott, director of information technologies at Security Partners, about what this role will entail.
A big item currently on Rick's plate is getting the Las Vegas location ready for its opening ceremony at ISC West.
In order to meet this date, Guzman is hoping to get the facility up and running by the beginning of April.
Anything special planned for the ceremony? Other than tours, there are a couple of surprises planned, Schott said.
"A priority is people. … Making sure that we have enough people to take care of both facilities, the current dealer base, and also to be prepared for the growth we're looking at," Guzman said.
Part of this growth might come from the ability to show the new facility at ISC West, they said.
"Rick is also going to be a key player in establishing that continuity between the four central stations, evaluating best practices across the organization and putting that into production," Schott said.
Schott said this will involve weekly evaluations with the staff in each location, and "taking the best of what each of our four centers have to offer, and then translating that into a standard operating procedure for the entire organization."
Another duty for Guzman is connecting both of these facilities with the network of Security Partners' other facility in San Antonio, and headquarters in Lancaster, Pa. This involves a redundancy to a point where each location could handle communications from all four stations at one time.
Will you be at ISC West? Will you have news about residential security, home automation, impactful legislation or end-user focuses that our Security Systems News readers need to know? If so, please let me know.
I'm putting together my show schedule now. Because the show is so huge and offers up so many opportunities, it's difficult to meet up with everyone I'd like to, but I do my best, as do my SSN colleagues.
I'd like to hear about new and emerging resi securty technology, its current uses and successes. I can't write about every new product out there, but if you'll have end users in attendance to tell me how it works for them, that works for me.
It's a busy show so let's—and I mean this politely and beneficially to all—try not to waste each other's time. I've booked booth visits and attended ISC press conferences before that have promised news for our readers that just haven't panned out. As readers of SSN, you know the types of articles we report on and print.
Please contact me at email@example.com with your news items.
Also, we'll be holding our annual "Meet the Editors" event from 9:30-10 a.m. April 15 at our media stage right near the entrance of the show floor. Please stop by to say hi to us. It's completely informal, no presentations, just a way to reconnect and in some cases put names with faces.
I look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas!
Vivint CEO Todd Pedersen wasn't "fast enough" to work in one of his own warehouses, was "moving a little slow" on an installation job and should have been more adept at handling a basic tool, according to two of his employees.
Pedersen got those professional reviews during his stint on the CBS show "Undercover Boss" on Feb. 20. I wrote about that here. During that experience, he says, he learned much about being a company leader and that "details matter most."
For the popular reality show, Pedersen posed incognito, which included wearing a wig, as a Vivint trainee and met with four of his company's employees at their workplaces.
First he worked with Mark on an install job that involved being up on a roof. That encounter enlightened him on the need for Vivint workers to have proper, non-slippery footwear.
He then worked with a monitoring center rep, Sandy. Pedersen, handling a call, disconnected it inadvertently. During one call, static was prevalent and Sandy told Pedersen that the system needed some fine-tuning.
On his third stint he worked at one of the company's warehouses with Alma and was surprised when he had to fill out a work order on paper rather than digitally. Alma is the employee who told him he wasn't suited to work for Vivint: "Too slow."
He also was told he was working too slowly by employee Will during Pedersen's final "Undercover Boss" gig at a smart-home installation. And, Will added, Pedersen needed practice working with a basic tool—a drill.
When I talked to Pedersen before the show aired, he couldn't say all that much about the outcome of the show due to CBS restrictions. But I did catch up with him via email this week to get more details.
Here's what Pedersen had to say.
Q: What was the top lesson you gleaned from being on the show?
A: As a leader, it's your job to look at the big picture and focus on the vision of the company, but I learned that when it comes to employees, the details matter most. The smallest upgrades in equipment and installation hardware can shave off significant amounts of time and stress for employees. Little things really do make a big difference to the people you employ.
Q: How will the show have an impact on the way your company is run/managed in the future?
A: After each day on a new job [for the show], I would get on a conference call with senior management and discuss what I learned and potential improvements pertaining to that job. And while the experience hasn't changed the way we run the company in a major way, we have made several changes in equipment and processes.
The most significant change we implemented was announcing a brand-new facility for our monitoring professionals. As I worked alongside Sandy, she had interference issues with her equipment. In addition to improving phone cords and headsets for Sandy and her coworkers, we decided to give them a beautiful new facility.
Q: Any other insights? Would you do this again?
A: The most interesting part was just being able to work alongside my employees as a regular guy, rather than the CEO. I truly enjoyed getting to know each of them on a personal level and learning about their backgrounds and the things they've overcome. I've always believed in cultivating strong relationships with my employees, and this experience reaffirmed the importance of that for me.
While not every executive has the chance to go undercover like I did, taking the time to work side by side and connect with employees is important for all members of the leadership team. I plan to give this opportunity to other executives so they can benefit from the invaluable insight that comes from being on the ground. (Although, I won't make any of them wear a wig!)
I don't think I could get away with going undercover again. Word has definitely gotten out around the company, but I did really enjoy going out in the field and working with employees across the business. I would definitely do that again, and I'll probably take some of our other executives along with me next time.
Pedersen also heard the four employees' personal stories and responded to their hardships—widowhood, bankruptcy, cancer treatments, custody disagreements and more—with compassion and with his wallet. Kudos to him.
ISC West is a short seven weeks away and the editors at Security Systems News have already started to book appointments.
Are you interested in talking to us about your new products, your business plan, trends in the industry? We want to meet and talk to as many SSN readers as possible in Las Vegas, but since there are only three of us, we cannot meet everyone. We do have to make some choices. Below is some information you may find helpful.
NEW PRODUCTS Will we cover your new product? Security Systems News is dedicated to breaking business news and does not do much pure product coverage. However, we do much more product news at ISC West than we do elsewhere, so please let us know about your new product launch at ISC West. If you can also tell us how and why our readers—the integrators, installers and professional monitoring companies—will be interested in this new product, we will try to fit you in to our calendars.
An excellent way to get coverage of your new product is to have it featured for free in Security Systems News April (ISC West Show) printed publication. If you're launching a product at ISC West, you can get a nifty description and photo in our April issue for free. Click here to find out about that.
NEW COMPANY or NEW DIVISION, TECH TRENDS, M&A ACTIVITY, BUSINESS PLANS FOR 2015, OTHER NEWS TIPS? We want to hear about this stuff. Our coverage areas are divided this way: Spencer Ives sives@securitysystemsnews covers monitoring and general news; Amy Canfield email@example.com covers residential security and home automation, fire, legislative news, end-user related news; firstname.lastname@example.com, I cover commercial and systems integrators, and suppliers (manufacturers).
NEWS CONFERENCES Will we come to your news conference? Yes! On one condition though—please have news to share. Every year we get some "Announcements!" that so-and-so is having a news conference and they would like us to commit to attending. What's the news conference about? Well that information will be forthcoming, we're told. We understand that you may not want to announce every detail ahead of time, but we do need some information.
TIMING FOR EVENTS and NEWS CONFERENCES We love news conferences that are coordinated with the organizers of ISC West. We like news conferences that take place in the press room or on the show floor while the show is going on. If you coordinate with the organizers of ISC West, your event won't overlap with someone elses. We do not like breakfast or dinner news conferences. We'd rather just have breakfast or dinner. Lunchtime news conferences can work in our opinion. HID used to do a well organized, informative, news conference with boxed lunches in a room close to the show floor. It was crowded too.
THINK ABOUT MAKING YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT AHEAD OF ISC WEST So much happens at the show that we can't possibly cover it all. The really big news can bury some important news items. If you can talk to us three or four weeks ahead of time, we can probably give you more complete coverage. Reach out to us now if you want to talk about ISC West announcements ahead of time.
IF WE CAN'T MEET YOU AT ISC WEST If your news falls within our coverage area, often times we can do a call a few weeks after ISC West.
IS YOUR EVENT HAPPENING DURING THE Security 5k? Between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 16? Oh Well. You should be at the Security 5k, running, walking, or cheering the runners on. Get your company to put together a team and support the sixth annual Security 5K, (which was founded by Security Systems News). You'll get some exercise during ISC West and you can literally help save a child. In 2014 we raised more than $110,000, used to provide food, water, education and healthcare for more than 260 children for one year through a wonderful organization called Mission 500. Click here for more information. Some folks do have other commitments during that time--If you're one of them, consider sponsoring a runner. You can make a difference.

This holiday season, homeless pets across the nation are receiving much-needed holiday meals thanks to to Freekibble.com and Ellen DeGeneres' natural pet food company, Halo, Purely for Pets. DeGeneres, who co-owns Halo, Purely for Pets, has teamed up with 17-year-old Freekibble.com founder Mimi Ausland to launch the third annual Holiday Kibble Drop.
During the Holiday Kibble Drop, 500,000 meals of all-natural Halo Spot's Stew will be delivered to pets at 65 shelters across the country.
Founded by Ausland when she was just 11, Freekibble.com has donated more than 11 million meals to shelters and rescues since 2008. Each day, its website features a new trivia question. Every time visitors answer a question, right or wrong, they earn 10 pieces of kibble for homeless pets.
Helping homeless pets find their forever homes is a cause close to DeGeneres' heart, too.
"Pet adoption is something I'm extremely passionate about," DeGeneres says. "I believe that by working together, we can find good homes for the millions of homeless and abandoned pets out there."

A 'Few' Travel Tips for Visitors to Puerto Rico
These personal observations come after
having spent my first full year in Puerto Rico.
General facts about Puerto Rico can be had by visiting the CIA fact page that was updated in September of 2010 and Wikipedia's site which I quote from often. Other links can be found in the Sidebar on the right. Ideas regarding what to see and do can be found by simply surfing the Dog's site or follow the occasional link within. You will need to look elsewhere for golf or health spas. Both activities are very popular here.
Don't forget to check out the 'Maps Page' too!
WEATHER: The weather in PR is typical of the Caribbean. It only varies a few degrees year round and it's a lot cooler up in the mountains. Its not uncommon to be clear in the morning and rain in the late afternoons. The North side gets more rain than the South side. In fact, the South is quite dry (but hot), the price you pay for living down by the ocean. The Hurricane Season is from about mid June until the end of November. Fortunately, most folks from elsewhere take their vacations in the winter… it all works out. Here's a tip- When Puerto Ricans take a vacation, they usually go to the Mountains or the West end of the island. Freshwater fishing and clean air up in the 'hills' or the great beaches and seafood around Rincon or Cabo Rojo are very popular. My favorite time of the year is late June and July… The Flamboyans are in full bloom and everything is bright green. Plus, it's still too early to really think about hurricanes.
PASSPORTS: For Americans traveling to Puerto Rico, it's very easy. PR is a territory of the USA so no passports are needed if you fly directly back and forth between the mainland and the island. If on the other hand, you will be joining a Cruise with 'Ports of Call' outside Puerto Rico, then yes, you will need one. Visitors on holiday from other countries will need their respective passports too.
LANGUAGE: Though Spanish IS the local language, as long as you stay in the main tourist areas of San Juan, Fajardo, Ponce, Cabo Rojo, Mayaguez and Rincon, you should always be able to find someone who speaks English. Once you get outside the big cities and into the hills, it's a different story… Speak some Spanish or carry those silly little cards you can point to. Many cops outside the big towns do not speak English. I rode the bus from my hotel in Isla Verde (in Carolina) to Old San Juan twice and always found someone who spoke English to chat with. Most folks are very friendly… I like that about Puerto Rico. As a rule, most Puerto Ricans love the opportunity to practice their English. There are many locals who once lived on the mainland with lots of retired military as well.
SAFETY: The same rules apply here as they do at home. Stay to the tourist areas and you will not have any problems. San Juan's hotel district in Condado, Carolina and Old San Juan are well patrolled, 24 hours a day. The Plazas of all the towns I've visited seemed safe to me. I felt safer in Old San Juan than I did in Honolulu (and its cheaper too). I wrote in more detail about good safe practices in this article about photography. Common sense is the rule of the day.
CELL PHONES: You will not have any issues with your cell phones as long as you stick near the coast and major highways. Inland is another issue. AT&T does not fare as well as Verizon (Claro in PR), up in the central mountains, but at some point they all fail. Wireless Internet will only work in the main metro areas. Almost all hotels have Internet service, but I would ask about it if it's something you have to have. Hanging out at the 'Business Center' of the hotel to send an email sux. Also worth noting, the Plazas of all towns (big or small) have wireless Internet. It's very common to see locals sitting on benches, surfing the Net from a Netbook, cell phone or iPad since Wifi is free.
ACCOMMODATIONS: If you are the typical American tourist looking for the same level of comfort you get back in the USA, then you need to stay in San Juan or maybe Ponce. All the regular chains have hotels in San Juan. Gambling is legal on the island so most hotels have their own casinos. If you are more adventurous, then there are lots of alternatives. Locally owned 'Mom 'n Pop' hotels are everywhere. I stayed in one such hotel while in San Juan, The Coqui Inn and loved it, but you might not. Paradores are popular with the locals and there are a few Motels scattered across the island, but they are really used for 'one-night-stands' and 'afternoon quickies'. Most rent out by the 8 hour block. Very discreet as most feature private garage parking so no one can see you come and go. There is also limited camping capability, but it's not considered safe to do in small groups and requires advanced registration for most locations.
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS: You can always get prescription meds re-filled here, but its a pain if you don't speak Spanish or deal directly with Walgreen's. There are NO deadly critters on the island and if you stay to the main tourist areas you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Most hazardous animals are nocturnal.. you will never see them. If you are prone to reaction (anaphylactic shock), then bring an extra syringe for emergencies.
Mosquitoes can carry 'Dengue' (like Ben-gay) known as "Break-bone Fever". So use bug dope when out in the woods and you'll be fine, really. I live rural and its not a big issue. I often take odorless garlic gel-caps before I head out. Dengue is common to PR, the Caribbean and Latin America.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Or lack of it would be a better call. From within San Juan, there are regularly scheduled public buses that run from the hotel areas in Condado or Carolina to the Old San Juan Bus Terminal. Ask at the front desk and they will tell you which bus to get on and where. Bus stops are rather nondescript, nor is there a posted schedule. Fortunately, the terminal in Old San Juan puts you right in the middle of things. I felt safe on the public bus.. lots of local folks of all ages were riding it. Most small towns including Old San Juan, Ponce and Mayaguez maintain shuttle buses that run in and out of the main plaza. These are free and many are air-conditioned. You can always hail a cab, but San Juan is a huge place- Always insist on a price in advance or you'll likely get stiffed. They seldom drop a 'flag'. The 'Tren Urbano' mass transit system serves Metro San Juan, the main university and the main hospital, but not the tourist areas. Outside of San Juan, there are only small privately owned 'Publicos'. These are 'one-man vans' running to only one destination. What's more, you have to get there early to get a ride to where ever you are going and if it don't fill up with riders, they may not go at all. Publicos are a Puerto Rican tradition from years past. They are fine if you are not in a hurry and speak Spanish. DOH! Renting a car or jeep is your best, most practical option. A ferry service provides access to Vieques and Culebra from the docks in Fajardo. They make the run on a daily basis.
DRESS: Dress is always casual. Temps are in the mid to high -80'sF during the heat of the day. And in the low -90's on the South side of the island. Sandals, shorts and tank tops are very common as is jeans and polo shirts. The more ritzy hotels and restaurants will have formal dress codes, especially at dinner hour. When walking on Old San Juan's 500 year old cobble stone streets, good shoes are in order. 'Stylish' heels might cost you a twisted ankle. A hat is a good idea if you will be out and about during mid-day. Its also possible to be caught out in an afternoon down pour so a small umbrella or 'rain-slick' is a good idea too.
EATS: Puerto Rico has all the fast food chains most Americans are familiar with and a couple more. Do not expect the same 'fast' service you are used to, Puerto Rico runs at its own pace. If you have not tried Pollo Tropical, you should. Think up-scale Taco Bell with a Caribbean twist. It's my favorite. I have not been to McDonalds or Burger King since I moved here. Restaurants in the main tourist areas are many and varied just like back home. I was surprised to see a big helping of french fries served with every meal, at every Chinese Restaurant I've been to. It's a local thing. Authentic Puerto Rican dishes are similar to other Caribbean fare, but not quite as spicy hot. Its all good so dive in! If you manage to take a road trip, I recommend stopping at a 'Pincho' stand and try one of their roasted chicken or pork skewers. Hopefully they will be set-up next to an outside bar where you can wash it down with a Medalla Lite beer (Brewed in Mayaguez). It's pretty good too.
DRINK: If you drink water, make sure its bottled AND that the cap is intact. Tap water is OK. It's simply loaded with chlorine and heavy with minerals. We use a reverse osmosis system for drinking water at home.
Another good reason for drinking beer! At least you know its not been tampered with. The drinking age is 18.. I'm surprised this place has not become a hot spot with the 'Spring Break' crowd. Drinking in public is banned in Old San Juan, but open in most other places. Puerto Rico is home to several RUM distilleries so it would be sad to pass on trying a few of the local concoctions. I have an article about RUM for those that are interested. Don Q is the favored Rum since they are local. If you prefer something else, you'll need to speak up. Bacardi has a big presence as well. Roadside bars are very common in Puerto Rico and most allow you to sit outside where its cooler. Hopefully, the Pincho guy is right next door. Most roadside bars are not open during the week, only on the weekends. As far as the nightlife goes, San Juan runs non-stop, 24 hours a day. There's something for everyone.
DRIVING AND ROADS: Since PR is a territory of the United States, they drive on the same side of the road as the rest of the US. Your US Driver's License is good for up to 120 days. They also recognize International Driver's Licenses as well. A lot is said about those 'Crazy Puerto Rican Drivers". I think New York cabbies are way worse. San Juan, with 2 million people has 2 million plus cars so its real crowded and parking is almost always a problem, no matter where you go. THE busiest time to be on the road is between 3:00PM and 4:30 PM. All local and state government offices AND schools let out at between 3:15PM to 3:30PM. Traffic grinds to a stop, when mom comes to pick up the kids from school. If you plan on renting a car, make sure your hotel has off street parking. Some hotels charge their patrons for it, some have no parking at all. Car rental is more expensive here than most other places and your own car insurance may not cover you while in Puerto Rico adding more to the cost. Check with your insurance company first AND get something in writing too or they will not allow it once you get here. A GPS unit will go a long ways in keeping you on track. I still use one, but bear in mind, some don't cover Puerto Rico. Tip: Looking at maps marks you as a mark. Don't do it in a public place, unless it's relatively private. Road signs are another issue. There's a real lack of them and they are in Spanish. Not a big deal since they use shapes and colors, we in the US are familiar with. Speed limit signs are in miles-per-hour, but road signs are in kilometers (distance to..). The roads off the few main highways are paved, but pretty bad. When they do road work, the patches that follow are almost always poorly done. That is why you see sooo many folks zig-zagging around.. trying to avoid the crap in the road. Driving in PR is NOT a casual experience, you got to stay on your toes. Yes, its not unusual to see a Puerto Rican absorbed in his/her cell phone while dodging pot holes.
You been warned.
MONEY AND ATMs: American greenbacks rule. Banco Popular's ATHs (ATM) are your best shot at drawing cash from your debit or credit cards. Most transactions will cost you something. Very few, if any gas stations accept cards, cash only and paid in advance. Gasoline is dispensed in Liters so its not near as cheap as it looks at first glance.
TOUR COMPANIES: My suggestion is to talk to your hotel desk and ask them for ideas. From San Juan, there are many 1/2 day and full day excursions. If you are on a tight schedule, this is the way to go. I did a 1/2 day trip to El Yunque from San Juan on my first visit and it was worth it.

3 Responses to A 'Few' Travel Tips for Visitors to Puerto Rico
Wonderful blog. I have wanted to visit Puerto Rico. My ex-fiance (who is PR) and I were supposed to go so he could show me around, but now I am planning my trip alone. I really don't like the tourist trap kinds of places. I am more into the old churches, more the culture type. Any advice on where to stay outside of San Juan? (S.Dog- I cannot make specific recommendations, but if you are in an area you want to stay, go to the plaza and ask at the Alcaldia (Mayor's Office). Then ask for their Tourist Office. They will very likely speak English and can be of great help in finding a place. Best bets are Ponce, Mayaguez, Caguas, Cabo Rojo, Rincon, Aguadilla, and Fajardo, but all towns have an Alcaldia on the plaza.)
First trip to Puerto Rico and want to see everything. We arrive Mar 12, 2013 -April 10th, We r renting a condo in Luquillo. Also have rented a car. I can't do a lot of walking, so taking a lot of tours r not ideal because it slows everyone else down. Thanks for your pages. (S. Dog- Glad you like them.)
This is so fine. Show me more posts.

"Lincoln" (PG-13): Any fears that Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" would be a preachy epic will fall away for teens who see this extraordinarily entertaining movie about Abraham Lincoln's struggle in early 1865 to pass the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery. Daniel Day-Lewis' magical, bone-deep Lincoln portrait is alternately – and sometimes simultaneously – kind, sly, funny, courageous, and briefly, thunderously angry. Tony Kushner's stunning script was partly inspired by Doris Kearns Goodwin's book "Team of Rivals," about Lincoln and his Cabinet. Lucky as flies on the wall, we watch as the president conspires with Secretary of State William Seward (David Strathairn) to reel in votes in the House of Representatives through blatant offers of patronage to get the amendment passed before the end of the Civil War and before Lincoln's second inauguration. He wants the abolishment of slavery to be a done deal before he makes peace. A trio of smarmy political operatives played by James Spader, John Hawkes and Tim Blake Nelson start courting congressmen. All this unfolds amid the Lincolns' difficult but, as portrayed here, loving marriage, with Mary Todd Lincoln (wonderful Sally Field) unable to stop grieving over the loss of their son Willie. The president understands but can't help. The debates in the House are gripping, and Tommy Lee Jones steals scenes as bewigged Rep. Thaddeus Stevens, an Abolitionist who hurls hilarious insults at opponents. A couple of scenes seem contrived or superfluous, but most of "Lincoln" is divine.
Three scenes make "Lincoln" problematic for some middle schoolers: One shows soldiers knee-deep in a muddy battlefield, fighting intensely but nongraphically with bayonets; another shows Lincoln riding through a battlefield seeing endless bodies, at least one graphically gutted; and the third shows Lincoln's son Robert watching as a wheelbarrow full of severed limbs is dumped near an army hospital while his father visits amputees inside. Characters (though not Lincoln) smoke, drink, and cuss colorfully. The N-word is heard often, with other racial insults. A marital fight between the Lincolns feels so genuine, it is truly upsetting. They also discuss mental illness.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" (PG-13): Teens in love with the books by Stephenie Meyer and the four preceding PG-13 films based on them will not be disappointed in this final finale. (The fourth book was made into two films.) Bella (Kristen Stewart), new bride of vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), has become a full-fledged vampire instead of a groupie. She's now endowed with super-strength and senses, intensifying the steamy-dreamy but nongraphic sexual charge between her and Edward, which has fueled the entire series. As the film opens, she wakes from a difficult pregnancy and childbirth. Her eyes are now vampire-red and she has a thirst for blood. Bella finally sees her baby, Renesmee. The infant is a human-vampire hybrid because Bella was human when she was conceived. Renesmee grows very fast (played as an older child by Mackenzie Foy). Bella's friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner), a werewolf, imprinted on Renesmee while Bella was unconscious. Bella fumes at that, but Edward makes her understand that Renesmee needs Jacob as a protector. That becomes clear after a vampire from another coven mistakes Renesmee for an "immortal child" – a human child who has been turned into a vampire. That is a capital crime in the vampire world because immortal children can't keep their vampire natures secret. The Cullens call in vampire friends to testify on Renesmee's behalf before the ruling Volturi Clan and their leader Aro (Michael Sheen). The confrontation could turn violent and destroy the Cullen Clan forever.
While bloodless, the battle scenes among vampires show heads torn off, and some of the immortal creatures set ablaze. A few werewolves who join the fight alongside the Cullens also get hurt or die bloodlessly. When one Cullen ally causes a huge crevasse to open on the battlefield, some vampires and werewolves fall to their deaths. The sexual charge between Bella and Edward increases a bit in this film, as it has incrementally in every film. There is really only one bedroom scene, but it is stylized and nonexplicit. At other moments, the pair kiss passionately and joke nonexplicitly about the violence of their lust. The newly transformed Bella, trying to sate her thirst for blood early in the film, nearly kills a deer, but a snarling mountain lion leaps into the frame. The camera cuts away, but one guesses the predator cat loses its life while the deer survives.

Happy Birthday, Tarra!
It has been well over a year since Tarra lost her friend – the little white stray dog named Bella. Bella's loss was mourned by the global Sanctuary community, and Tarra received the well-wishes and messages of sympathy from all around the globe. In this tragedy, Tarra has taught us all an important lesson: life goes on. In the days and months after Bella's death, Tarra sought solace in her sisters. Shirley, especially, seemed to really reach out to Tarra to offer her friendship, and Tarra and Shirley are now quite close.
Tarra is a friend to all, freely giving her love and affection to reassure and comfort her Sisters.
This from Caregiver Laurie: "Tarra came over to visit Misty and Dulary the other day. After Sissy and Winkie had wandered off for their afternoon nap, I saw Tarra standing behind the barn looking into South Yard. We had just finished training and treatments with Misty and Dulary and so they were about to come out of the barn. We opened the back gate for Tarra before Misty and Dulary came out and Tarra scooted over, excited to greet her friends. Misty and Dulary came out of the barn at a normal pace until Misty saw who was waiting to see her. BIG eyes, BIG smile, tail curved out to the side and with a trumpet, she RAN to see Tarra! This alerted Dulary to something exciting, and they all had a happy reunion. All three made their way out to Delhi's yard to enjoy hay and sunshine. Tarra led the way, picking up as many flakes of hay as possible, a whole one in her mouth and carrying another two in her trunk as she made her way over to another pile where they all settled in and grazed in the sun. Another great day in Sanctuary :)"
Of course, you can never replace a lost loved one. Tarra knows this, too, but she also seems to realize that the world is full of potential new friends, and you never know when you might make a connection. The following scene, recounted by Caregiver Kayleigh, took place during a recent night feeding: "Virgil (one of our sanctuary dogs) was assisting me and [Caregiver] Cody with giving Tarra some hay and treats. Tarra started making her dog bark vocalization and kept reaching her trunk out at Virgil with her ears happily flapping. Virgil was busy picking up the scraps of apple on the ground when Tarra started stroking Virgil's tail with her trunk. Virgil didn't seem to mind at all. He just kept eating the apple scraps. She was so excited with big wide eyes and flapping ears while she was petting his tail. Sissy was in the stall next to her and must have fed off Tarra's energy because she started flapping her ears and making her happy "pop-pop-pop" noise with her trunk. That was definitely a night I will never forget."

There are several community managed operating system project around that you can look at:
JOS: Java based OS. It's on SourceForge.
SharpOS: C# OS (The one I am working on), the kernel is written 100% in C# (don't flame me before you actually have a look at it). Also hosted on SourceForge. There is also ONE video on YouTube.
SmallTalk: Has been around for decades. Pick your favourite one.
PowerShell is, well, a shell. It's sits on top of a kernel. The kernel is what communicates with your hardware (via drivers, interrupts, raw CPU instructions, whatnot).
Singularity is a kernel written in C#, not a shell. Although I can't see why they couldn't use the code from powershell once they have the code in the kernel nailed down and complete.
Jus go to wikipedia and look up kernel and shell...

You might write a .PS1 script which takes advantage of a cmdlet/feature that is only available in V2. If you send this to someone that has PS V1, it will fail "in some way and at some time".

In response to the proposed ban on assault weapons, is there anyone out there with a little common sense? If you want to ban guns, just say you want to ban guns. An assault weapon is not just a gun that carries more than 10 rounds.
Everything from a CD to hands and feet can be considered an assault weapon. Let�s put contractors out of business and ban hammers. Sounds stupid, doesn�t it?
The same people who want to take away my right to protect my family in the name of saving lives are the same people who are in favor of murdering millions of unborn children every year. If you don�t like guns, don�t get one � that�s your right. My right is to have one.

Data-Based Modelling and Analysis of Coherent Networked Systems with Applications to Mobile Telecommunications Networks
Rajala, Miika
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2009-04-21
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication;799
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Faculty of Automation, Mechanical and Materials Engineering
Department: Department of Automation Science and Engineering
Due to interactions of nodes, a networked system may behave coherently with the nodes collaborating to perform a joint task, such as transferring speech and data traffic in a mobile telecommunications network (MTN). On one hand, coherence may lead to high network performance and an ability to withstand high external node loadings caused by the traffic. On the other hand, however, because of coherence, a network may exhibit such qualitative properties that lead to a drastic sensitivity of the network to even smallest node loading changes under a high loading. At worst, such sensitivity may lead to a coherent collapse of the entire network and thereby to severe financial and quality-of-service related losses. This thesis examines interacting coherent networks with a focus on MTNs and aims to provide information through statistical modelling for supporting the decision making of network operators and helping to improve the network robustness against unexpected node failures or excessive local node loadings. In this thesis, Markov random fields (MRFs) are applied as statistical collaborative models of networked systems, describing a network through the joint probability of network node states. Instead of trying to model the exact dynamics of complex networked systems, which is extremely difficult, MRF models provide all the uncertainty information related to the network state under given conditions. Ising model, a simple MRF model, is adopted to model the joint probability of network node states under given external node loadings. Though it describes nodes in binary states, the Ising model is highly capable of describing the behaviour of complex coherent networks and thus proper, e.g., to study the qualitative properties of MTNs. As an MRF model, identification of the Ising model consists of two parts: identification of the graph structure of the nodes and identification of the model parameters. Graph structure defines the neighbourhood relations of the nodes, and after the graph is fixed, the model parameters then determine the coherence of the network. Both the graph structure and the model parameters hence contribute to the qualitative network properties. In this thesis, for graph structure identification, a method especially suitable for systems assuming an underlying spatial node configuration, such as MTNs, is developed. However, the method is likely to be relevant to other applications as well and, more generally, serve as a means of learning a graph structure for MRF models. For parameter identification, an approximation of the maximum likelihood method, the pseudolikelihood method, is applied. The uncertainties of the parameter estimates are then studied via approximating the parameter distribution, under the pseudolikelihood assumption, with a Gaussian distribution. To study the qualitative properties of an identified Ising model, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are used for model simulation under varying uniform node loading and local excessive node loading situations. Moreover, MCMC simulations are applied for studying the adiabatic and transient dynamics of the Ising model. By using the MCMC methods for generating samples from an identified Ising model, the identification methods are tested extensively with MCMC-generated synthetic data in varying qualitative network behaviour cases. By using real MTN data, the model identification methods are finally tested in a realistic case.
