The Post and Courier
It's almost serendipitous that a broad, stuccoed house with German windows and "Juliet" balconies would be raised on an Old Worldly-named street.
But not everything was so lucky for the dwelling at 918 Casseque Province. Sitting on nearly an acre in Snee Farm in Mount Pleasant, the house is neatly framed on the outside. But there's plenty of work left on the interior.
Now bank owned, the property is like a painting that was stopped in mid stroke.
The 5,807-square-foot custom home, "built" in 2010, is on the market for $599,900. The expectation is that a buyer would spend a sizable chunk of change to complete the project.
Such a purchaser would be "someone who has good taste (and) understands the quality of construction," says Gil Aviles, who runs Aviles Real Estate Brokerage with his wife Susan Aviles. They are listing the property. "This is like a fort," he says.
Structurally bolstering the house is a host of upgrades, notably super-strong Autoclave Aerated Concrete floor panel and block construction. Copper gutters, 30-year architectural shingles and copper roofs are in place.
At the same time, the interior has been roughed out and gives form to everything from a Roman tub to library with towering skylight that looks out on the great room.
The home "just needs the finishings to be complete — some sheetrock, landscaping, trim, flooring, paint, cabinetry installation," Susan Aviles says in the listing. She says most materials were already purchased.
The house expects to be energy-efficient. Highlights are a geo-thermal mechanical heating, ventilation and air conditioning and hot water system; and open-cell spray insulation.
Another set of perks are tilt-turn Henselstone windows and doors. The German engineered products are hurricane resistant; The windows can be opened two separate ways, to the side or upward.
"You can count on extraordinary low utility and maintenance costs, insurance benefits and also tax credit advantages," she says in the listing.
According to the Aviles Real Estate information, the house and property as designed would showcase scores of distinctive interior features, including:
• A sizable foyer and 26-foot-high family room with a wrap-around grand staircase and central octagonal tower.
• A study, library, wine cellar and balcony overlooking the main living area.
• A two-way gas fireplace that opens into the family room as well as the adjacent formal dining room, which boasts a built-in china cubby and full butler's pantry.
• A nearly-400-square-foot kitchen. As planned, the culinary center will include a wooden soffit-and-barrel ceiling, two kitchen islands and an indoor herb garden with a light tower overhead. Off the kitchen is a breakfast area ringed by windows. There's also a walk-in pantry with wooden walls, shelves and room for an additional upright freezer.
• A mud room, which open onto two garage bays and a workshop.
• An oversized first-floor master suite sporting a sitting area, two walk-in closets and private laundry. Spotlighting the master bath is a circular ceiling that accents a glass block, walk-in steam shower and a Roman tub with waterfall and another light tower.
• A spacious second floor featuring two bedrooms with their own baths on one side of the home and two bedrooms with a shared bath on the other side. There's also a recreation room and a second floor laundry.
• A surround sound and security system.
Also on the property is the completed foundation for a large back porch and swimming pool, which rim an existing backyard pond.
One of the finished amenities is a detached landscape shed with attic storage. The shed, located just off the driveway, is in keeping with the home's stucco design. There is an attached two-car garage and workshop, which could be turned into a third vehicle bay.
Subject to membership fees, Snee Farm has its own pool, tennis courts, clubhouse and private Snee Farm Country Club with championship golf course.
"You don't see these kinds of homes every day," Gil Aviles says. "It's more from Europe."
The house is not far from the golf course's 18th hole. Traveling north, take U.S. Highway 17 past the Isle of Palms connector. On the left is the Snee Farm main entrance. Get on Snee Farm Parkway and go to the traffic circle. Pass two exits and take the third, which is Farm Quarter Road. Travel on Farm Quarter Road to Casseque Province and turn right. On the right at the corner of Casseque Province and Chersonese Round is 918 Casseque Province.

Comments about Levenger Accordion Wallet with Walletini Pen:
I have been eyeing this wallet for a while now and I finally decided to get it. I'm really very satisfied with it: the leather is of high quality, the color options good: I got the red one but might also get the brown one for myself (for abroad) or for my adult daughter. I love the zipper since it prevents items from slipping out. The various compartments are excellent for organizing your cards, currency/money and receipts. I highly recommend this product!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It is genuine leather, soft, and has ample room inside to hold my cash, cards, coupons, stamps, etc. I'm glad Levenger had this product as it was something for which I've been looking for a long time. I highly recommend this wallet for men or women. It's beautiful!
Men need more room
By wolfiecat
from Bristow, VA
Because of the number of i.d. cards, credit cards, business cards, loyalty cards and Starbucks gift cards my husband routinely carries, I've been buying him women's wallets for years--shh, he still doesn't suspect! A week ago his best friend came over and I had the opportunity to see his wallet--guess what Bob is getting for his birthday in September! Bob's wallet was packed tight and was nearly 4 inches thick! Wake up, gentlemen, it is no longer 1956--men don't just slide in their driver's license, a nice photo of the family and a 20 dollar bill--men carry a serious amount of stuff in their wallets.

A lovely soft leather with ample room for id, credit cards and cash. I sometimes use it in place of a purse because it has everything I need for everyday purposes. However, both the leather and the fabric are thin, so I don't expect the wallet to hold up for a very long time. I enjoy the quality as the trade off.

Exercise and Your Heart
Why Exercise?
Exercise can improve the way we look and feel. It also has other benefits.
What Kind of Exercise is Best for the Heart?
Exercise must be tailored to each person's needs. The type of exercise your doctor will suggest is called aerobic or isotonic exercise. Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, cycling and swimming. These exercises increase the flow of blood to the heart muscle and body tissues.
Patients with heart disease should initially avoid isometric exercise. Isometric activities include weight lifting, pushing against an immovable wall, or straining to open a window. The pressure or tension created by this activity:
Avoid straining and heavy lifting. Instead, look for ways to perform aerobic exercises.
**After about one month of regular aerobic exercise and with doctor approval:
Light resistive weight training may be safely started with close supervision and strict guidelines. Light resistive weight training should always be used with (not in place of) aerobic exercise.
Activity & Exercise After a Cardiac Event
Remember, activity and exercise after a cardiac event must be done in a safe manner. Activity and exercise for the cardiac patient begins at a low level and gradually increases to a higher level. While you are in the hospital, the Cardiac Rehabilitation staff may work with your doctors to develop an exercise program to meet your needs. They will also help you safely increase your level of activity.
When you are ready to go home, your doctor and/or the Cardiac Rehabilitation staff may give you a Home Walking Program tailored to your needs. You will also be given a target pulse rate to follow. Your pulse will be your guide to activity. If your pulse exceeds the target rate, you know that you are doing too much exercise and that you need to slow down. If your pulse never reaches the target range and you feel as if you are not working, you may need to increase your pace. It is important to remember that exercise must be done on a regular basis to gain the full benefits of an exercise program.
General Activity Guidelines
Avoid crossing your legs while you are in bed or sitting in a chair. Pressure on the area behind your knee may decrease blood flow in the legs. Relax for at least 30-60 minutes after eating before starting any vigorous activity. Avoid unusual tensing and straining of the body.
If you've had heart surgery:
Ask your doctor when you may resume sexual activities. In general, it is safe to resume sexual activity if you are able to climb two flights of stairs without chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness. To conserve energy during sexual activities:
Points to Remember About Exercise
For more risk reduction information:
Take Your Pulse
Since your pulse is one guide to exercising at the right pace, it is important that you learn how to take it yourself. Your pulse is simple to take; it can be felt with every beat (or pulsation) of the heart in various arteries throughout the body.
To take your pulse, keep a watch or clock with a second hand or a stopwatch in sight. Be sure to wear a watch with a second hand if you are walking outdoors. Locate an area to feel the pulse beats. The pulse beats can be felt over any number of arteries. The radial artery in the wrist area is one of the safest sites for taking the pulse. (This is called the radial pulse.)
Your pulse should feel regular and rhythmic, like the beat of a drum. If your pulse is irregular, notify your doctor.
Home Walking Program
Your home walking program should begin the day after discharge from the hospital. Walking may be done indoors or outdoors. Indoor walking can be done in your home, in building hallways, or in a shopping mall.
If you will be walking outdoors, follow these guidelines:
In Winter: No outdoor exercise if the temperature is less than 20 degrees or if the wind chill factor is less than 10 degrees.
In Summer: No outdoor exercise if the humidity is greater than 75% or if the temperature is greater than 80 degrees. The best times for exercising are early morning or early evening.
If you have had angioplasty or stenting only (no heart attack), ask your doctor for guidelines.
If your doctor has prescribed nitroglycerin tablets for you, always carry them with you on your walk. If you have signs of angina (chest, arm, neck, or jaw pain or discomfort, or the pain that you know as your heart pain), STOP WALKING AND SIT DOWN. If the angina is not relieved after a couple of minutes of rest, take a nitroglycerin tablet under your tongue. You may take up to 3 nitroglycerin tablets, each 5 minutes apart. If the discomfort is not relieved after a total of 3 nitroglycerin tablets, call 9-1-1 or the emergency number in your area or go to the nearest Emergency Room. Do not drive yourself. If the symptoms are relieved, you should still call your doctor.
If any of the following persist, contact your doctor:
After discharge, visit the Health Learning Center (3rd Floor Galter Pavilion) for more information. The Health Learning Center staff can help you access websites that discuss exercise and health.
For questions or concerns regarding exercise, call 312-926-7883.
Record walks every day. Take your home exercise log to your follow-up doctor appointments.

BEAVER TOWNSHIP - Several area fire departments responded to a house fire that destroyed most of a Detwiler Road home Thursday afternoon.
Firefighters from Beaver Township, Green Township, Springfield Township and Canfield responded to the home at 11500 Detwiler Road at around 3 p.m. after a passing motorist observed flames and called 911, according to Beaver Township Chief Russ Osborne. The property was secured and Beaver Township firefighters were still on scene at press time to monitor multiple hot spots.
Osborne said that the cause of the fire is still unknown and that due to its severity he is requesting the state fire marshal to investigate. He said that the garage and a mother-in-law suite sustained moderate damage, but that the rest of the home had been heavily damaged by the fire.

The Geffken Pullen book covers Baccarat marks from the end of page 52 to the end of page 53. The ONLY case of the Baccarat wording without additional "logo" details is the final entry, which is accompanied by a date (1915) as an example of a signature "engraved on cameo ware" - Note the
cameo ware
As has been stated by others, I agree that the signature on the Murano weight is false.
My own expertise is mainly with Ysart paperweights, but over the past 17 years of collecting weights I have studied lots of books and discussed various fake signatures with many other collectors.

I am convinced that this is a fake Baccarat, and that is the question raised by Teri.
But I am interested to know the outcome of any request for a refund. The seller did leave the authenticity up to the buyer to decide.
If it were a fixed price BIN sale then I think there would be no dispute about getting a refund. But if you made an offer, surely the offer reflected a level of doubt about the authenticity. Does the offer act like an auction bid?
It would be good to know for my own selling of items that are not 100% in attribution and also as buyer who may himself buy a fake in the future.
Teri, are you going to ask for a refund?

I think the refund issue may be quite complicated, because it appears that the buyer and seller may be in different countries not both within the EEA (the seller is in the USA). As I understand it the The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (which are relevant to BIN sales within the EEA) would not apply to this sale even if it had been BIN.

I wouldn't think ebay would refund. They are not in the business of allowing someone to buy something, then try to confirm its identity and return once it was not confirmed, unless some correspondence occurred that the 2 parties agreed to this. I believe they would say this needed to be completed prior to purchase or else pass. Exception would be if it could clearly not be determined by the pics presented in the listing or the buyer blatantly misrepresented the item.. I don't believe this is the case here, as many have noted above. This one will have to be chalked up to a learning experience, me thinks!

I'll say it again. It is a significantly not as described (SNAD) via Paypal. Paypal are incredibly buyer sided and would almost certainly refund once it can be proven it has been posted to and received by the seller. It is nothing to do with ebay.
The worse one which paypal do is refund a buyer if an item isn't posted by a trackable online method of posting. I've had people request untracked postage and then claim through paypal when they say they don't revieve it. Under paypals T&C's they refund the buyer without recourse if something is sent untracked. Don't ever send anything untracked unless you know the buyer well!
Teri, I would ask for a refund first, the seller can only say no. They do have over 3000+ feedback with 100% so will almost certainly want to protect it. As ebay do not allow sellers to leave negative feedback, there is no possible way you can possibly have anything done which impacts you.
I really think it's obvious the seller knew it isn't a baccarat weight, people don't list things with ?'s unless they think it isn't right. Any seller worth anything will and should refund you on return without having to involve paypal etc.....
Let us know what you decide to do and how you get on!

I look forward to the outcome. Ebay, paypal whoever, I don't
the description weighs in favor of either on doing anything about it, but hope I am wrong. I fortunately have not been stuck in this situation. The buyer, if they are upstanding person, will do something. The description is written ambiguously but certainly gives fair warning that you may not be buying an authentic piece.
Please do keep us apprised of the outcome.

I am again interested in the outcome of a refund request. I don't see how it is a SNAD when the the seller says it has the word ... not it IS.
Ebay are firmly against people selling fakes of any kind. I think the buyer could get a refund if they could demonstrate that it was a fake ... however, this is policy is policed by the copyright holders.

Whew!! Thanks everyone for their help!! I've had quite a busy week, and I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I didn't think anyone would be on because of the holidays...
Ok, update. I've contacted Paypal. The first lady said (after seeing the listing) that 'they did put a question mark after Baccarat.' I told her that my sister tried to list an AUTHENTIC belt and purse bought at the Gucci store in Rome, but was asked for a receipt. She didn't have it, and they took the listing down. The listing started at $50!! So, they let THIS seller list something like that with all the question marks, etc... w/o doing the same thing? I told the first lady that if that's all I need to do is put question marks, and vague wording in the description, then I'm going to the flea market and getting a ton of Coach bags and add the "?" after Coach...(I said this sarcastically, as I know this is a felony.) Then I was transferred to a supervisor after my smart a$$ remark...LOL!!
The supervisor came on and said the same thing, so I asked her for her name and repeated her words as I was writing them down and said I was going to order some Chanel purses for $50 from China and use the same wording 'she said' was sufficient for the listing... She backed up. I told her that distribution of counterfeit items applies, also, to ebay and if they don't get my money back then they will all fall under the RICO act for aiding and abetting crimials. I said there is enough counterfeit selling going on ebay to start a claim, and if that's what they want, then 'bring it'... Boy have I learned a lot during the last few days...
I said the fact that it #1. Was a 3 day listing (usually used for counterfeit items because they usually get the listing pulled before 7 days) #2. The fact that the seller even doubted the authenticity of the item, put question marks, etc... and if there is doubt, they shouldn't list it, especially when it is a felony to even try and sell it. #3. It's a felony for those who sell it, an additional felony for using the postal service, and a felony for whomever has it in their possession, and an additional felony on the part of the buyer if he/she turns around and sends it through the mail back to the seller. Distribution of a counterfeit item is distribution, even if it's given away.
The seller wrote me and was like, "So, usually the buyer will get in touch with me to resolve the issues first...Just wondering why you didn't." I responded, "Well, yes, but I didn't want to go back and forth and get in an argument about it. You should have never listed it if you had doubts." Etc...
I'll keep everyone informed, and thanks to everyone for their help!! Especially those with references to what it is and what was in the book. If I can ever return the favor, please let me know. (As long as it's not about paperweights...you know I'm clueless...LOL!!!)
Happy New Year everyone!!
Be kind to one another...you might not get another chance.

First I have to admit to being a big fan of the L-Tech pens, just a little bit less on this one. I guess one of the big point is that it is just too "Skinny", the diameter is just too small. I was looking for an analog of my other two L-Tech pens (they seem sort of like Clones and if I were to replace the Roller Ball with a Fountain Pen Nib it would work. In fact, I have to admit that on occasions I actually grab the wrong one. This pen lacks the heft and feel of the others. Other than that it is a fine pen, well-constructed, some heft, and the stylus end I bought it for, and if this is your first pen of this type you will love it. Pretty much like when you buy a "C-Class" Mercedes, its a nice car better than most cars, just not an "S-Class" car. It is just that the price differential is not worth the sacrifice. Listen to an old timer, if you are a lady or gentleman with small hands, prefer a "200-Series" Pelikan pen this one is for you, if you are a fan of the "800" or 1000 Pelikan pens you will be disappointed. Bottom line, buy the "Rollerball" if if you must have a pen without a nib, or need to fill out multi-page forms, that is the better choice. The upside, it is not a case of Good v. Bad pens, this is a quality pen. It simply competes out of its league, it is a "Almost Great" Pen (only thing it lacks is a good flexible 14k or 18k nib, or in the case of the Rollerball, gel refills) v/ a "Good" pen ( and it is one of the better pens and one of the best ball point pens, just not Almost Great. Think of it this way, when all is said and done I am NOT sending it back for an exchange.

I will start by saying I have this pen in silver and I love! I loved it so much I decided to buy one in purple. The pen itself is great but I am pretty sure that the purple pen I just purchased is going to be silver (or metal color) very shortly. The color of the pen wears off on everything it touches…very disappointed in the quality, but the pen itself writes nicely and fits nicely in my hand.

Great pen & stylish stylus combo
By Smartfire
from Tampa, FL
I love Levenger products--they are great quality and this didn't disappoint. The lavender is lovely, the pen writes well, it is solid weight and the stylus seems to work well the few times I've given it a whirl. I don't find the shape of the pen to be my favorite--the angles can wear a bit on the hand after a while--but it isn't that bad. Overall, a good pen.
Great product

Great balance and feel when used for either function. Stylus requires just a gentle touch to my iPad. The pen function is where it looses one star. It is a quality ball point and a smooth writer, but I am disapointed that the ink doesn't flow immediately. Example: put it to paper to begin writing, and the first letter you write won't have any ink till the end of it, and then the ink continues to flow.
Great Pen!

This pen is a great writing pen and the stylus is very useful.
A little disappointed
By Artsy3
from Jacksonville, FL
Although I rated this pen a 5 in most categories, I was extremely disappointed with placement of my name - it was too near the clip. It should have been lower, much lower - because of the clip, the name is not noticeable.
These pens stay and work.

Comfortably useful. Doesn't roll around. Stylus works well on all my touch screens. Well made, doesn't come apart. Refills available. Good selection of colors. My favorite pen.
By BSPHYSICS
from Carlsbad, NM
Wish I had known that the stylus replacements has been discontinued. Customer service did help locate some in the Boston outlet store. Bought 6. Should last awhile.Very satisfied with the quality of the pen. Weight is good. Uses Parker refills. Wish I could get microfiber stylus tips for it.
Best pen / stylus
By KCTGR
from Atlanta, GA
Absolutely love the weight of this pen. The quality is beyond compare as I expect it to be from Levenger. Love it so much I bought a second one.
Stylus Flaws
By MangoKid
from Fresno, CA
The stylus was not very sensitive on my Android phone. And then I quickly lost the stylus after putting the pen in my pocket and the stylus quickly twisted off to be gone forever!!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Levenger is grateful for your feedback on our L-Tech Plus Ballpoint Twist with Stylus. We apologize for the difficulty that you are experiencing. Your concerns have been forwarded to our quality assurance team for review. It is our sincere hope that you will allow us to make this situation right for you.

I took a quick look at your web site. I was impressed by the nice layout.
However, I don't play the Detroit casinos. My Midwest play pretty much covers the casinos in MI, WI, and MN that are located above the 44th parallel. Would your web site be of any value to me?
Also are members of the "Detroit Faction" included in your membership.
Hi MP:
If you don't actually PLAY in the Detroit area stores (MGM, MC, GT) plus fairly nearby Native American joints (FK, 4W, probably the Toledo place opening soon) then our site may not be as useful to you as that's where we are planning to focus.
It's a web based community site but still more "real world" interest than strictly-computer like this site or bj21 etc. I actually don't want the membership to get too BIG just so it won't become such a difficult job to manage, as what's happened here with KEN throwing in the towel. People don't realize how much hassle keeping a good board going really IS when it gets fairly large.
That said, however… you might be interested in an "Associate" team membership (vs. CORE player) for a different reason.
That "reason" and the mechanics of the Associate idea is something I will be discussing with other AP's from here at the EVENT coming soon.
Unfortunately this board will be shut down MONDAY which will prevent me from putting that info on here (will be too late) SO if you're interested in learning more about *that* please just add your email address to our mailing list by clicking the Mailing List Manager icon on the main page at http://www.detroitblackjackteam.com/
That news will be coming pretty soon… as soon as I have time to get a few more things done on the site, as well as AFTER we talk about it among the CORE team members.
P.S. By the way, my intention for this site is for it to have NO ADS, EVER!!
That one curling-corner "ad" on the index page at the moment is actually just a 'placeholder' which I intend to eventually use for internal site-news purposes — The script code I cribbed for it just had the e-cig graphic in it and I have not edited it yet.
No offense meant to other web forum admins, but it really bugs me that all the other sites in this space STILL have frikkin' ADS all over 'em. I know ya gotta try to get revenue wherever possible, but I just think it cheapens the site too much. ESPECIALLY the CASINO ads… WTF, right?
Quote: Midwest Player said:
I don't really want to be on a team. Just looking for information on northern Midwest casinos.
Same here, if the associate thing goes through, that could focus more on the midwest proper while the core section stayed focused on Detroit and surrounding areas.
Hey all:
Just as a final post here on Ken's board (and for the archives) I'll note that I'll be getting back to everyone who either added their email address to our mailing list OR actually registered on the forum in the next day or so… gettin' that set up and running ASAP.
Thanks again to KEN for all he's done — I actually only have twenty posts on this board (hey, this will be 21! Does that mean I WIN?) but I lurked here forever before my first post, and I will certainly miss it even on that level alone.
Hopefully our Detroit Blackjack Team site can help take up some of the slack for Midwest AP's… I'll do my best and hope to measure up to Ken's great example as Admin here.
Here's to PAINT on all your ACES, guys… now and in the future. Keep up the good fight… & see ya'll soon

Synge's The Playboy of the Western World takes place in the early 1900s at a pub on the west coast of Ireland, where a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father, finds the locals are more interested in vicariously enjoying his story than condemning the immorality of what he did.

Most of us use more than one PC these days, and if you count up the different machines you use on a weekly basis, they can easily reach double figures. You might have two or three machines in the house, and then a work PC as well. If you add that to the PCs owned by friends, family and colleagues, and machines found in libraries and internet cafes, you can start to see a trend emerging.
The upshot of this trend for PC polygamy is a disconnection between the computers we use and the files we need. Anecdotally, many people will find themselves in a situation where a file they were working on is stuck on their home PC while they are at work, or vice versa.
Not having your files when you need them can be incredibly frustrating, but online storage and syncing can cut the worry and keep your files at your fingertips. We've covered online storage services before, but Microsoft's Windows Live Mesh2011 has been revamped to offer something different.
Unlike most online storage services, Windows Live Mesh 2011 is designed to sync files between your PCs, taking the effort out of storage.
Like a lot of other companies, Microsoft has its own online storage service, called Windows Live SkyDrive, but Live Mesh is different. Its job is to fill the gap between your locally-stored PC content and the other PCs you use by creating automatically syncing folders.
Getting started
To get started with Windows Live Mesh you need to download the Windows Live Essentials client onto your PC.
The installer will ask you which of the family of programs you want to install, but you only need Windows Live Mesh to start syncing your data. You'll also need a Windows Live ID. This is the key to bringing in cloud services such as SkyDrive, which are used behind the scenes.
Once Windows Live Mesh is installed and you've signed in with a Windows Live ID, you can start syncing your files. In the main window choose 'Sync a folder' beneath the name of your PC.
A dialog box will open and you can choose any existing folder or library from your PC. If you'd rather not have everything from these folders sprayed onto the internet, you can create a Live Mesh folder locally on your PC. Anything added to this folder will be automatically synced to the web.
Windows Live SkyDrive, the service Live Mesh uses to store your files, has a 5GB limit, so if you have extensive libraries, you may want to be selective.
Upload your files
When you've designated a folder, Windows Live Mesh will sync it and all of your files will be uploaded to the cloud. Once this process has finished, the newly synced folder will have a green tick placed next to it to show that everything is now up to date.
Once a folder is synced in Windows Live Mesh, you can start to do more with it. In the main Live Mesh console, click on one of your synced folders to adjust who can see and share it.
This lets you give other web users access certain folders, even if they don't use Windows Live Mesh. The ability to set public folders has long been a feature of SkyDrive, and guests are able to access this area of your online storage space provided they also use a Windows Live ID.
After your first PC is synced with Windows Live Mesh, you can start adding other PCs. The best way is to install the client on other PCs you use, and sign in with your Windows Live ID. When you log in on another PC, you will see all of the folders that have been synced with your account at the top of your screen.
You can then choose to have the folders synced with your PC so they appear among your other files as normal. To do this, click one of the folders and a box will appear letting you choose a folder from your local PC with which to sync the Windows Live Mesh content. This can be any existing folder, like 'My Documents', but you can create a new one if you want the synced content to stay separate.
If you're using a PC without the client installed, you can then go to SkyDrive from any PC or mobile device to retrieve it. While it might seem cumbersome to use SkyDrive to access files you synced using Windows Live Mesh, it means you don't need to have client software installed at the other end to access your files - perfect for locked-down corporate networks.
Unfortunately, there's no provision yet for syncing to other services like Dropbox, so if you want to take advantage of Live Mesh, you need to use SkyDrive. This is something Microsoft would do well to change, because Mesh is a great service that gains nothing by being tied to SkyDrive, which is adequate at best.
Syncing settings
Windows Live Mesh doesn't just deal with your files - it can sync your settings as well. This is one of the most innovative yet simple parts of the service, and essential for anyone who's particular about the way their PC works. Live Mesh can save settings from Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office, which can be synced to other PCs.
Syncing your Internet Explorer settings may sound duller than a fortnight in Penzance, but it lets you port your favourites and bookmarks from one PC to the other as if by magic. This means that any web page you find while at work will be accessible from your home PC, so there's no need to hunt for information you've already found. In Microsoft Office, the syncing goes further, extending to templates, dictionary entries and email signatures.
To enable settings syncing, you need the Windows Live Mesh client installed on every PC on which you want the settings to appear. On your main PC, install the Live Mesh client and a list of supported programs will appear under 'Program settings'. You can choose to enable these individually by clicking on the program name and choosing 'Turn on'. You need to install the client on any PC on which you want to use the settings, log in with your Windows Live ID and turn on syncing.
Remote connections
One of the best features of Windows Live Mesh is the ability to remote-connect and share the screens of computers within your Windows Live circle. This has plenty of benefits, like the ability to access your files from anywhere in the world, or help family members overcome PC problems without having to go round and listen to their explanations.
To share screens remotely, you need to do a little groundwork. First, you need to have the client software installed on both PCs, and be logged in on both with your Windows Live ID. When a PC is connected for the first time, it's added to the list of devices in the Windows Live Mesh console, although it's greyed out initially.
To bring these devices to life, you need to activate remote sharing. In the Windows Live Mesh console, click the 'Remote' button at the top to be taken to a special menu. Click the 'Turn on remote connections' link at the top to allow other PCs to connect to yours. Your Windows account needs to be password-protected.
Once you've enabled remote connections on two PCs, you can share screens. Choose one of the PCs and click 'Connect to this PC'.
A new window will appear while the connection is made, which can take around a minute. If the PC is logged into an account, you need permission from the person using it to connect. If the remote PC is logged into Windows Live Mesh and left at the password screen, you can take control instantly. You'll need to use the machine's password to log in, as if you'd just turned the machine on.
When the connection is made, the remote machine's desktop will appear in the window and you can browse as if you were sat down in front of it. You can launch any program, although as with any remote connection software, their fresh rate is slow and the screen will be jerky to use. You also can't make your local PC interact with the remote one directly, so if you want to retrieve files, you will need to send them as if you were sat at the remote PC.
Windows Live Mesh isn't the most advanced or customisable syncing program available, but it's one of the easiest to use. The remote access features are some of the best we've seen, and if you need to access your PC online, it's well worth checking out.
If you're looking to do more with syncing, Dropbox is fantastic and offers support for mobile devices, which Windows Live Mesh lacks. Windows Phone 7 users can take advantage of extra syncing though, and with Microsoft developing its Windows Live suite so rapidly, we'll be keeping a close eye on what's coming next.
Once you've got yourself set upwith Windows Live Mesh, andyour circle of PCs has been added and enabled with the client software, you can start to fine-tune your syncing so you're in full control of your information. After you've made a folder available to be synced, you can tell Windows Live Mesh manually which PCs you want to access it.
Choose one of the synced folders from the list in Windows Live Mesh, then click on it to expand more options. Now, on theright-hand side of the screen, click 'Select devices'. A new option menu will appear, with a list of every device in your circle. Click the tick box to have that folder synced to the device, or leave it blank if you don't want it to be listed.
It doesn't matter if the PC you want to sync with isn't switched on, because the updated content will be sent as soon as you log inon the second computer.
However, the original PC from which the files are being synced will need to be logged into Windows Live Mesh when you doso.
The beauty of organising your files this way is that you don't have to use Windows Live SkyDrive to sync them.

This thread has taken some interesting turns for sure. What does V/M vs D/W have to do with Phil Hersh?
In any case I agree with KKonas; as I said I disagree with him most of the time, but I don't think he does anything that's particularly out of line.
Yes, I think this thread has served whatever purpose it might have had. It is now closed.

Niagara County sheriff's deputies reported three drunken driving arrests Sunday night following the annual Polar Bear Swim.
Filicia A.M. Rutherford, 36, of Hartland Road, Gasport was stopped by deputies at 8 p.m. in the 2300 block of Lockport-Olcott Road in Newfane and charged with DWI and failure to keep right. Rutherford told deputies she had three beers and a lot of Jell-o shots throughout the day and just had a beer before she left a hotel bar.
Charles R. Weaver Jr., 44, of Old Beattie Road, Lockport, was stopped at 7:30 p.m. in the 2600 block of Main Street, Lockport, and charged with DWI and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. Weaver allegedly did not pull over for a patrol car with lights activated, and was within two feet of hitting the patrol car. When he was stopped he told deputies he had a few beers at the Polar Bear Swim. Deputies said he had a blood alcohol level of 0.14 percent. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.
Just before 2 a.m. Monday deputies picked up a reveler in the 7600 block of Rochester Road in Gasport.
Shaun C. Baker, 30, of Ranshaw Road, Lyndonville, was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation, drinking alcohol in a motor vehicle, failure to keep right, a lighting violation and driving without a license. Baker and his passenger said they were coming from the Polar Bear Swim.
Baker was stopped after he had no license plate lamp and was crossing the center line, deputies said. He was also found to have an open can of beer in his cup holder, deputies said.

Aside from living together, Bell also stars in Hit & Run, a film directed and written by Shepard – and when they came out to a special screening of the movie on Wednesday at the Downtown Independent Theater, it was clear the engaged couple's flame has not died down.
During the Q & A for screening guests, "Dax lifted Kristen up and gave her a really affectionate kiss," an onlooker tells PEOPLE at the Brancott Estate Wines-hosted viewing. "At one point, Dax said to her, 'Shouldn't you be saying something really adorably cute right now? You're so good at that.' "
The source adds that Bell, who shared soda and popcorn with her fiancé until the screening started, told the audience having him as a boss was tough because, "If you think Dax Shepard the actor is cute, you wouldn't be able to handle it!"

Infinite Tickets
The seven members of the South Korean group Infinite all bring unique talents to the table, and that diversity has allowed the band to seamlessly blend rap, hip-hop, and rock influences into its polished pop sound. The group formed in 2010 and swiftly rose to international prominence thanks to a string of hits including "Be Mine," "Paradise," and "Destiny." In 2012, Billboard even selected the group's single "The Chaser" as K-pop song of the year, confirming Infinite's strong influence in this ever-expanding musical genre.

2012 BC Alpine Awards - Event of the Year
Each year at the BC Alpine Awards Banquet the coveted award for the Event of The Year is presented to a ski club that has demonstrated the ability to host an outstanding event, whether it be a race, special event or a festival. 2012 the Big White Racers together with the Big White Ski Resort pulled out all the stops for the BC Alpine Teck K1 Provincial Championships winning this prestigious award. Voted on by their peers this truly was a feather in the cap for the club and the resort.
A total of 205 racers ages 11-12 competed in 3 day event that included Giant Slalom, Slalom and Ski Cross races under glorious sunny blue skies Mar 16-18. To execute an event of this magnitude is not for the faint of heart as it takes 120 volunteers a day with a can do attitude under the leadership of a dedicated Race and Social committee. Race courses groomed to perfection, timing that was flawless and race officials that radiated pride were eminent all weekend long.
Topping off these first class races were social events, starting off with a thank you to the backbone of a race event the volunteers with a gathering at the end of the day with pizza and brew. The crowning jewel was a fantastic VIP appreciation party held in the Village Centre Mall for parents, coaches and volunteers.
All the while the young athletes were dancing the night away down at Happy Valley after their own dinner banquet. They too went home with great results, memories and swag bags compliments of the various sponsors. Everything was done right and nothing left to chance.
"This was one of the best provincial ski events ever, every little detail was thought of and the races were extremely well executed, a job well done. How anyone can top this event is beyond me" commented Teresa C. Fernie Alpine Ski Team Mom

Reading the article "Boy Scouts considering retreat from no-gay policy," my first reaction is, not good enough.
The scouts' executive board is passing the buck to local troops to decide whether or not gay scouts and leaders will be able to participate; this stance is not good enough. Boy Scouts of America means all boys.
Until the BSA includes all boys, I will not support their organization in any way.

The Wall Street Journal is
reporting that a new version of Apple's iPad -- one with a faster
processor and at least a front-facing camera -- is now being manufactured.
Despite earlier
reports of improved resolution, the unnamed sources in the WSJ report
fail to corroborate that rumor, saying that the new iPad will have a resolution
similar to its first-generation cohort. "People familiar with the
situation said Apple has had trouble improving the display technology, in part
because of the iPad screen's larger size compared with the iPhone," WSJ reports.
the new device is allegedly lighter and thinner than the current iPad, will
boast more memory, a more powerful GPU, and will sport at least a front-facing
camera for video conferencing.
Since its
debut in last April, the iPad has reportedly
moved 14.8 million units. The iPad 2 is expected to launch in the next
few months, and will be available from both Verizon and AT&T at roughly the
same price as the current model. Analysts Piper Jaffray & Co. predict
Apple will move 27 million iPads this year, while others predict a number as
high as 35 million units.
Meanwhile, research
firm IHS iSuppli believes that the iPad's market share could decline to less
than 50% of the tablet market that by 2013.
quote: It makes little sense to change the resolution until they can come close to being a 'Retina' display. At this time the technology just is not here yet for the cost that is required.
quote: Had they bumped it up only a little, then we would be sitting with several different iPad resolutions that developers would have to code for as one would think they would eventually do a full 4x pixel bump to put it in Retina territory. That would be a developer nightmare and would go against everything Apple has done in the past. (3 iPad resolutions in 2 years which is unacceptable)

An FBI special agent accused of driving on the State Thruway in Eden without wearing pants will see his charges dismissed if he steers clear of additional trouble for the next six months.
John A. Yervelli Jr., 48, assigned to the Buffalo FBI office, was granted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal Tuesday night in Eden Town Court.
Yervelli was charged with misdemeanor public lewdness last month by State Police. A truck driver told troopers Yervelli was driving a passenger vehicle about 9 p.m. Dec. 7 when the off-duty FBI agent "pulled up next to his truck, turned on the dome light and displayed that he was not wearing pants, while making lewd gestures," according to State Police.
An Erie County prosecutor Wednesday confirmed this week's court ruling, and said Yervelli is required to complete a psychological counseling program as part of the decision.
Yervelli, a Lakeview resident, has continued his job since his arrest.

After hearing from three real estate agents, the Tonawanda City School Board delayed a vote Tuesday to finalize a deal with a firm to market the vacant Central School building.
Tonawanda officials hope to further decrease the district's footprint by selling the Central building, which has long been used as storage and rental space.
The district has heard presentations from Reality USA, M.J. Peterson and Hunt Commercial Real Estate. The firms each discussed how they would market the building, but the board tabled its decision so board members could have more time to review their information.
Complicating the sale of Central is the fact that another former district building, Highland Elementary, just went back on the market. The district closed Highland due to falling enrollment in 2008. Tonawanda tried to sell the building through Reality USA, but the property was ultimately sold at auction for $152,000 last year.
The building was purchased for a proposed People Inc. location, but it never materialized. The Highland property is now priced at $325,000.
Hunt representative David Supon said the Central building is similar to the Highland property and may fetch a similar price.
"You're aware that it's a very difficult market now, especially for schools and churches," Supon told the board. "The key is getting it off your hands as soon as possible."
If the Central building is sold to an interested party, Tonawanda voters must approve the final sale through a district referendum.
In other news, board President Jackie Smilinich said the district is still reviewing candidates for the vacant superintendent position and hopes to have a final decision made by the end of December.
Whitney Vantine retired as Tonawanda superintendent in October. Mary Beth Scullion, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, has been serving as the interim superintendent.

- Speakers: Howard Dierking
Right click "Save as…"
Of course everyone wants to save money – right? But how true is this in practice when it comes to cloud computing? And more importantly, if the cloud is little more than a bunch of rented virtual machines hosted by someone else, are you actually saving money? At the end of the day, business exists not to save money, but to make it, and if you're going to invest in the cloud, you should expect it to help you make money. Put another way, the cloud should be about adding value, not simply reducing costs. Come learn how Windows Azure makes the cloud into something that helps you reach more clients, gain deeper business insights, and yea, even save some money in the process.

"If you're gonna run in the front of the pack with a white horse, you're gonna be shot at." – Tom Buchanan, Survivor: Africa
Wednesday night, Survivor kicked off its new season with big characters, an epic challenge and groundbreaking stupidity.
At the center of the melee were three returning players: Mike Skupin, Russell Swan, and Jonathan Penner each started the game as captain of his own tribe. But while they entered the game with the same status, they quickly set off on three very different paths.
The Good: Mike Skupin
The secret to Survivor is adapting to your circumstances. In Australia, Skupin was the tribe leader, an alpha male who dominated at the challenges, hunted the food, and tended the fire (a little too much). Skupin 2.0 knows that he's not the same man and it's not the same game. "My strategy coming into this was – make sure that you go with the game," he says. "If your tribe is moving slow, go slow with them. Don't be the person that jumps out in the lead."
Lucky for Skupin, the person who does jump out is feeling friendly. RC, the investment banker from New York, starts scheming as soon as she steps off the raft. She builds an alliance with Abi, Pete ... and Mike. Skupin could have been ostracized, as Russell and Penner are, if RC weren't so dedicated to working with him.
RC wins the first Fishy for quickly building a majority alliance. That said, she may be playing too hard, too fast. Like a stereotypical banker, she pushes her own agenda rather than building a consensus. On day one, she's already vilifying Lisa. "I don't trust her," RC says, as the rest of her alliance shuffles their feet and looks uncomfortable. Poor Lisa can't even defend herself; she's too busy emoting to the cameras.
Skupin is put off by RC's speed, but he plays along. "This is a little bit foreign to me, the three-minute alliance," he says. "But the three younger people move fast. I feel like I have to move fast with them."
The Bad: Jonathan Penner
Penner's never been much of a joiner. On Cook Islands, he hopscotched between every alliance in the game. But isolating yourself from your tribe is a losing strategy – especially if you're team captain.
While his tribemates bond, Penner is off hunting for idols. Meanwhile Jeff Kent, who actually makes a superb villain, is plotting his demise. Penner had better find one of those idols fast.
The Ugly: Russell Swan
This may be the fastest implosion of a returning player ever. Like Penner, Russell falls into his old habits – in his case, being the overbearing leader. He quickly alienates his tribe.
I loved watching dreamy bartender Malcolm bristle under Russell's thumb. Almost every comment Malcolm makes is along the lines of, "Russell's in charge, I guess – for now." But Russell's bossiness may be the best thing to happen to Malcolm. It forces him to curb his obvious leadership instincts, and focus on building actual bonds with Abi and, in particular, Denise.
Lucky for Russell, he's playing against an even worse opponent – Zane, who asks his tribe to vote him out. Why? Because he wants them to beg him to stay. "My whole reason for throwing my neck on the chopping block is to establish how I'm running this game," he says. That logic is about as coherent as his onion metaphor at Tribal Council.
Has Zane ever seen an episode of any reality show ever? People are hungry for a reason to eliminate you – especially if you look like the Pillsbury Doughboy when you run.
So Zane is voted out. However, he's definitely in contention for the title of Dumbest Survivor Ever.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
BIND Therapeutics today said it entered into a collaboration with Pfizer to develop and commercialize a new class of highly selective targeted and programmable therapeutics called Accurins™ using select molecularly targeted therapies, in a deal that could exceed $210 million.
Pfizer will employ BIND's Medicinal Nanoengineering® platform to impart tissue and cellular targeting capabilities to molecularly targeted drugs. In return, BIND could receive $50 million in combined up-front and development milestone payments, plus about $160 million in regulatory and sales milestone payments for each Accurin commercialized, as well as tiered royalties on potential future sales.
Under the partnership, both companies will work together on preclinical research, while Pfizer will hold the exclusive option to pursue development and commercialization of the Accurins it selects.
"The power of this partnership is taking Pfizer molecules that they've developed and have characterized activity, and combining them with the BIND platform. What this enables us to do is get now three levels of targeting," Scott Minick, BIND's president and CEO, told GEN. The three are tissue targeting, cell targeting, and molecular targeting using Pfizer's molecules.
Minick said he could not discuss which disease areas the collaboration will focus on. Accurin technology has shown effectiveness in internal research, he said, against inflammatory diseases and cancer, where vascular irregularity and permeability allow particles to escape the blood vessels, as well as against cardiovascular diseases, since the Accurins can bind to targets on blood vessels or plaque formations.
BIND's targeted Accurins consist of:
"Essentially, our nanoparticles give the appearance to the immune system of just being a tiny water droplet, so they avoid immune detection and clearance. That's what gives us very long circulation time," Minick said.
Nanoparticles can vary by size, disease being targeted, method of adhesion, and numerous other parameters, he added: "There could be hundreds of different combinations and permutations of those characteristics. Then we screen them to find out which has the optimal therapeutic properties."
BIND's lead Accurin, BIND-014, is entering Phase II clinical testing in cancer patients. BIND-014 is designed to selectively target a surface protein upregulated in a broad range of solid tumors.
The Pfizer collaboration marks the second major partnership between BIND and a biopharma giant focused on applying its nanomedicine technology to molecularly targeted therapies. On January 8, BIND and Amgen said they would collaborate to develop an Accurin to treat a range of solid tumors, based on BIND's platform and Amgen's undisclosed proprietary kinase inhibitor.
The Amgen collaboration could net BIND more than $180.5 million—$46.5 million in up-front and development milestone payments, plus up to an additional $134 million in regulatory and sales milestone payments for the first therapeutic indication, with potential for more payments. BIND will also receive tiered royalties on potential future sales.
BIND—which yesterday changed its name from BIND Biosciences and named oncology veteran Gregory I. Berk, M.D. as CMO—was founded on technologies developed by Robert Langer, Sc.D., David H. Koch Institute Professor at MIT, and Omid Farokhzad, M.D., associate professor of Harvard Medical School.
