I'm looking at getting a 2011 CTS Coupe that doesn't have the iPod adapter as it is a tradein and didn't come with it. Do I just call a local dealer for the part? Does anyone know where else I could get one or how much it is?
Get the adapter from your Cadillac dealer. I first purchased one from eBay and it was bogus. I then got one from the dealer and it works great. I think it was about $30, but its been awhile, so I can't really remember.
You can contact Rippy Cadillac on here (RippyPartsDept) or http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/rippy-cadillac/ , chances are they can offer you a good deal with shipping. You need the GM cable in order for the system to work properly, people have said on here that other cables do not work. Also, make sure you have the USB port for this option...not all CTS models have the USB/iPod functionality.
Rollin37, I see forum members have already jumped in with their feedback but I wanted to let you know that I too recommend consulting with a dealer about your parts question. If you have any lingering questions, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I can investigate!

why not get it thrown in as part of the purchase deal?
Thanks guys!
I use a nano with a regular iPod USB cable and it works fine. I actually like it better than the supplied one. With the supplied one the tracks come up in the order they are on the album. With the regular cable they come up alphabetically.
I got one free short and stubby USB/Aux adopter to iPod adopter from the dealer. I did buy extension cord. Since I bought iPhone 5 I had to buy another adopter from 30 pin to new Lightning connection
danoh123 -
Does your iPhone 5 work as expected using the adapter plus the short cable? I recently got a new 7th gen iPod that has the new pin configuration. Using the Apple adapter, I noticed that sometimes my CTS will see the device as an iPod, and sometimes it will see it as a plain Jane USB device. If I pull just the USB portion of the cable from the car input and plug it back in, the car will then rescan and see it as n iPod. I was wondering if this was related to something I had found on the net about the adapters -
"Apple has confirmed to Macworld that these adapters support analog and USB audio-out, as well as syncing and charging. However, the adapters don't support video-out or iPod mode, the latter a special mode that lets particular accessories, such as car stereos and some whole-home-audio systems, display your iPod's menus on the accessory's own screen."
Since I also have my 3rd generation iPod, I just loaded that up with the playlists and books I like and have dedicated that as my car iPod so this issue isn't a big deal for me. I was just wondering if others with new lighting devices with adapters saw the same thing.
GM 30-pin iPhone/iPod cable shown. Available from any GM parts outlet either online or dealer. Pricing varies - best prices online.
(Lightning adapter from Apple also needed for iPhone/iPod 5 and newer).

Circular Saws Review
How to Choose a Circular Saw
The top performers in our review are the Makita Magnesium 5007MGA, the Gold Award winner; DeWALT DWE575SB, the Silver Award winner; and, SKILSAW 5780-01 the Bronze Award winner. Here s more on choosing a system to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of 10 systems.
In the pantheon of power-tools an electric saw is pretty high on the list of must haves for do it yourselfers and carpenters alike. Whether you want to build furniture or frame a house, you'll need a reliable circular saw with power and portability. That's why we've narrowed down the best corded-circular saws available.
A corded-circular saw is an electrically powered blade with powerful cutting teeth attached to an adjustable lever, which allows you to cut at various depths and angles. Circular saws are helpful for quick woodwork or DIY housework. Using the saw, you would set it up on a wooden board or sheet using sawhorses or a worktable and line up your blade with the area you want to cut.
This kind of tool would be an excellent addition for craftsmen who are looking for a portable and easy to use option. With a corded-circular saw you can connect to a power source, be it on the job or at home, and make quick work of projects. Circular saws are very fast to set up and easy to take with you, as opposed to a chop saw or other types that are too bulky to take on the go.
If you want to build furniture, remodel parts of your home or frame out an addition, a powerful circular saw will give you the versatility to meet your project goals. If you are looking into adding a circular saw to your power-tool collection you might also take a look at table saws, laser line levels and cordless drills for additional tools to help complete your DIY projects.
Circular Saws: Consider a Different Type
All circular saws share a few common elements, such as portability, basic design foundations and relatively high power. However, there are a few different types of circular saws that lend themselves to specific projects better than other circular saw types. The most common type of circular saw is the sidewinder circular saw, also known as an inline saw. The blade of these saws attaches directly to the motor's driveshaft, allowing for a lightweight, compact design. All of the circular saws we reviewed are sidewinder saws because of their power, design and versatility. However, there are other saw types to consider for different situations.
Worm drive saws are some of the best portable cutting tools on the market because of their raw power. As opposed to sidewinder saws, this saw type utilizes a worm gear to translate the power from the motor to the blade more effectively. These saws can carve through even the most difficult material without issue, and even if you do meet resistance while cutting, the handle rests behind the tool so you can better resist kickback. However, the tool sacrifices maneuverability for its raw power making it slightly more awkward to handle, especially for smaller cuts.
Cordless circular saws are the epitome of portable cutting tools. This type of circular saw is less powerful than its corded counterparts, but the fact that you don't have to drag an extension cord with you is very convenient. If you're working in an area where power isn't easily accessible, cordless tools become that much more useful.
Finally, mini-circular saws, also known as trim saws, are ideal for finish work or wall paneling because you can make quick cuts on the spot. This saw type allows you to rip through a variety of lighter materials ranging from low profile lumber to fence boards. To learn more about trim saws, check out our article on the Rockwell Versacut Mini-Circular saw. You can also learn more by checking out our articles on circular saws.
Circular Saws: How We Tested, What We Found
During our research, we looked into a variety of circular saws, and different types of saws. We noticed that what people are primarily interested in are corded-circular saws. Using this data, we narrowed our results down to the 10 best models on the market based on their power, cut capacity, design, safety and help features.
While researching, we identified the features and categories that would be most helpful to users and compared the circular saws. We used the products hands-on to test manufacturer's information, verifying accuracy, and tested the tools for subjective features you would only understand from using the tools. This allowed us to independently rank the products based on their features and handling. We tested each of the saws using 2x4 wood boards and plywood, which are the most common wood types for the everyday consumer. We tested each of the features, cutting depths and angles as well as safety features. For each product we contacted the manufacturer as both a reviewer and an independent consumer to fully inspect the tools capabilities and ensure there is no difference in the tools services and support based on who the manufacturer speaks to.
After assessing our products and gathering testing data we use scientific formulas to weigh each of the features based on importance to you, the consumer, and determine the best circular saws. Our rankings are more than subjective; they use numbers and real data to determine which products deserve the top spots.
What Should You Look For In a Circular Saw
When you first think of a power tool you may think that their power or cutting ability would be the most important decision makers, but in the long run, when comparing the absolute best saws on the market the cutting features and power are all reasonably similar. That's why design is our highest ranked category. Design features separate which saws can do an ok job and which can do a great job. This is important when you take into consideration that each of these saws will cut through wood, they will be accurate, and they will be powerful. Therefore, the differentiators are in the design. Some important aspects to consider are dust chutes and blowers. When we tested we realized that some tools had both a chute, like an opening on the back of the saw, that whipped saw dust toward the back and away from the blade, making it easier to see and cut. Other saws featured a dust blower, which pushes sawdust away from the blade and clears visibility in order to maintain an accurate line. Some saws featured both, and this was particularly helpful when seeing the blade and line are crucial for keeping all your fingers.
Another feature we noticed was helpful were carrying cases. These saws are lightweight, all under 12 pounds, but still, they are clunky and not the sort of thing you want to haul around without something to contain all the pieces. Saws that included a carrying case were easier to transport and store. On a job site or in your backyard this feature will come in handy and ensure you don't misplace any of the included pieces, extra blades or twist up the cord. Lastly, some tools included a wrench to help remove the blade, and even offered on tool storage, meaning that the wrench fits neatly into the saw so you won't lose it. This feature was very helpful when assembling the tools, tightening the blade, and taking it apart for cleaning.
Cutting Features
The intention behind purchasing a circular saw is to cut something, so cutting features, while similar across the board are important to note and especially to verify. While testing we explored each tools' ability to cut both 2x4 boards and plywood sheets. Well, they all can cut, but some can cut better than others. Depending on the tools' bevel capacity, it can cut at a sharper angle and offer more versatility. Some of the saws also offer bevel stops, which are designed for increased accuracy. You can use the bevel stops to lock in a degree, a common one being 45 degrees, and guarantee the saw cuts at a 45-degree angle. You can also compare the depth of cuts at popular angles like 90 and 45 degrees; this helps if you know that what you are planning to cut is deeper than 2 inches or any standard wood depth.
Power Features
When it comes to power features, the important thing to remember is that all the tools we reviewed are powerful, extremely so. They have an average of 5600 RPMs. The numbers are similar across the board whether they are RPM or maximum watts out, the amount of wattage the tool is using to power the motor. The main discovery on power features was an intangible feel for the tool. How did it handle while testing? Was it slow? Did it stick or jam? These are the sort of subjective offerings that reading about a tool's RPM won't tell you. Each of our reviews will break down the specifics on how the tools handled during each phase of testing and which displayed more power and efficiency.
Safety Features
In an effort to retain all our fingers we took safety precautions including work gloves, protective glasses and ear covers. However, the tools have additional safety features, which would certainly be an important factor when purchasing a circular saw. Professionals and experts may feel comfortable using saws this powerful without additional safety features, but DIY users and beginners will likely enjoy features like electric brakes and trigger locks. Each saw is equipped with a blade guard, covering the blade when the saw is not running. Additional features included trigger locks, much like the safety on a handgun. When the trigger lock is on, the blade will not spin even if you pull the trigger. You have to physically set the lock to off before you can power up the saw. Additionally, the electric brake feature rapidly slows down the blade so that you don t have a blade spinning at 5,000 plus RPM once you are done cutting. Also, some saws have indicator lights which tell you that the saw is plugged in. You might think that is a frivolous feature, but considering how often you might come back to make another cut or adjust an angle and forget that your saw is plugged in, it is a helpful feature that your hands and local paramedics will appreciate.
Help & Support
All the products that made our list come from reputable manufacturers with established customer service. Each tool has a warranty. These saws aren't overly expensive, but a warranty is still nice when you have a power tool with multiple parts. Many products feature online manuals and Frequently Asked Questions to help you narrow down your decision and maintain the life of your tool after purchase.
Circular Saws: Our Verdict and Recommendation
After testing a variety of circular saws, we determined that the Makita Magnesium 5007MGA, the DeWALT DWE575SB and the Skil 5780-01 are the best circular saws currently on the market. These tools feature excellent designs, which we considered highly valuable during our testing process. These three tools also offered excellent cutting capacities, making them highly versatile and easy to handle. Finally, these tools offer a high level of power that allows you to cut through even the most difficult of materials.

- Get married
- Have more children
- Buy a house
- Write a book
- Get a full time job
Now, to most, this seems like a doable list... but to me? Not so easy. I was coming off of state assistance (better known as welfare) and I had so many mountains in front of me. (A whole range of them already behind)
I can say that it took me twelve years, but I've completed all of these dream-tasks.
So, I need a new list.
Here it is:
- Have Stephen King read one of my novels, enjoy it and then have coffee with me
- Write professionally and become a writer in residence at a university somewhere
- Have one of my novels made into a movie
- Home school my children
- Age like J-lo
- Meet Loretta Nyhan
- Earn enough money to situate my mother and my gram
What do you think? Too lofty? :)
I don't know... I like shooting for the stars.
What about you? Do you have any Dream Lists?

|st: Transforming numeric to categorical (not to string!) variables
|Tue, 10 Aug 2004 19:22:08 -0400
Dear Statalisters, Here's something I've been trying to figure out for a while, even though it seems so straightforward. How do I take a regular numerical variable called COLOUR that takes on the values 1, 2, and 3, and change it into a categorical variable so that 1 becomes "green", 2 becomes "blue" and 3 "white"? I.e. when viewing the data in the data editor, say, I want to see the colour names and not the numbers. And yet if I were, say, to type sum colour I want it to give me as the min "1, the max "3", the mean and std.dev. etc. So I don't want to make the variable a string variable. A related question: Once I have achieved that, is there a way I can make the data editor window show me the number values instead of the name values of such categorical variables. That is, is there a way to toggle between one view and the other? SPSS, which is in many other ways of course inferior to stata, does however have such a toggle option that stata doesn't seem to have. Thanks much!

In brief: Holy Spirit, HACC adjust radiology program
A radiology technology program that since 1980 has allowed students to enroll at Harrisburg Area Community College or Holy Spirit Hospital will now use Holy Spirit only as a clinical site.
The six students currently in Holy Spirit's program will finish at HACC but continue their clinical rotations at Holy Spirit. Prospective students must now apply to HACC, which accepts the top 25 students for its two-year program. There are typically 100 applications. The next class starts in January 2014, according to HACC.
HACC currently has 19 clinical sites throughout Central Pennsylvania where students will do their clinical studies. HACC will be applying to the Joint Review Committee on Education of Radiologic Technology to add sites within the Holy Spirit Health System.

The mystery of a Kiwi officer photographed with a woman in the Somme region during World War I may have been solved, with a military historian identifying the man as Captain Albert Arthur Chapman.
Chapman was born in Tasmania but moved to New Zealand and volunteered as a private, probably served at Gallipoli, and later fought in the Battle of the Somme, one of the bloodiest campaigns of the 1914-1918 war.
London-based New Zealand military historian Andrew Macdonald identified Captain Chapman by cross-referencing the insignia on his uniform with military records.
In one of the photos Chapman's collar and cap badges identify him as a lieutenant in the 7th Southland Mounted Rifles. In another photo with the woman, believed to have been taken in the garden of a villa near Abbeville, the officer has been promoted to captain and transferred to the New Zealand Pioneer (Maori) Battalion, and has been awarded the Military Cross.
"There are only two officers who meet these criteria," Mr Macdonald told the Independent newspaper. "One of these did not reach the rank of captain, leaving Albert Arthur Chapman as the prime candidate.
"His service record fits the man in these images like a glove. He was transferred from the Pioneer Battalion to serve with the New Zealand Division headquarter staff behind the lines of the Somme in April, May and June 1916.
"He was transferred back to the same Pioneer battalion when the New Zealand Division entered the battle [from 15 September]."
The woman in the photos, who is shown wearing the officer's uniform and also sitting playfully on his knee, has not been identified. She wears a wedding ring.
Records show Captain Chapman, who emigrated to the United States via Canada in 1924, was not married, leading to speculation about the nature of his relationship with her.
Officer in mysterious photo identified
Mystery man?
Captain Albert Arthur Chapman:
* Born in Tasmania in March 1880.
* Lived in Dunedin, where he worked as a shipping clerk.
* Probably served at Gallipoli.
One of 15,000 Kiwis to fight in the Battle of the Somme.

By 2020, as the digitization of business increases, nearly everything we use will be embedded with cameras and sensors — our smart phones, our self-driving cars, our wearables, and our traffic lights will all depend on imaging technology. What does this mean for the future and what will we do with all this data?
During this time, in every industry, from transportation to medicine, the Internet of Things and its technology ecosystem will have created an $8.9 trillion market. Of that ecosystem, the combined IT and telecom market will hit almost $4 trillion, or 5 percent of the global GDP, according to this year's Gartner Symposium in Orlando.
We are looking at the dawn of a new economy, says Peter Sondegaard, senior VP at Gartner and global head of research at Gartner, clarifying, "[it's] a new era: the Digital Industrial Economy [that will] result in revenue associated with the Internet of Things exceeding $309 billion per year."
The Internet of Things is going to require heavy-duty processing of all that information, too. It will depend on our ability to capture, store, sort and analyze images. Given that over 100 hours of YouTube® videos and 500 million photos are uploaded and shared every single day, we're looking at a massive amount of unstructured data. So how can we turn those pixels into actionable, visual data?
This is where the power of intelligent imaging turns dumb pixels into smart images. Intelligent imaging essentially brings visual data to life, thereby opening up a whole new level of effective and mutually influential interaction opportunities. The smartest businesses are already taking advantage of the unique ability to directly reach consumers while others are ramping up to do so.
Imaging Puts Big Data At Our Fingertips
The term "big data" is being thrown around a lot these days. But what does it actually mean? Big data is, essentially, the sheer volume of dynamic information as it pertains to the intelligent systems that are installed to collect and analyze it. Today, Bill Maher addresses Orwellian concerns — with requisite humor in "New Rules" at the end of his nightly talk show. We'll need to require "New Rules" to ensure we do not compromise individual rights, and that "safety and security" is not a convenient excuse to pry into people's private information. An enormous challenge – properly and securely managing this data — will also be an equally huge opportunity.
Powerful imaging technology can improve our lives while also advancing other industries, such as healthcare, transportation and retail. Because big data is becoming an entire industry unto itself, the application of it, specifically with regard to facial recognition technology, possesses tremendous possibility for obtaining greater collective knowledge. We will be able to access this intelligence at all times: by 2017, mobile device categories will represent more than 80 percent of device spending.
Imaging Turns Data into Knowledge
Three-dimensional facial recognition technology can assist businesses with making sense of big data in numerous ways. And they can act upon these insights in real time which is useful for us. Knowing who we are helps them customize our entertainment through our SmartTVs at home. We can be reached when we're on the go no matter where we are. In other words: businesses can connect and respond to customers immediately, delivering what we want when we want it.
The Future of Imaging Technology: Some Predictions
As intelligent imaging technology comes to the forefront of a "new normal" in an era filled with image-related data, we will be rising to the challenge of storing, sorting, and classifying this visual information in a moment's time. Facial recognition technology and gesture technology will continue to enable people to connect with one another in more interesting ways and to make their lives easier.
Last but not least, here are some predictions for this new future:
1. Your five-year-old son will never drive a car. Sure, he might drive a "classic" '05 just for fun but what will give him a real thrill at 16 are the incredible sensors, cameras, scanner and GPS data that allow him to be in "command central" without actually having to worry about steering, stopping or changing lanes. And he can put his arm around his girlfriend just like the kids used to do in movie theaters in the olden days.
2. The FBI won't have a Top 25 Most Wanted List anymore. Why? Because they'll catch everybody on it. Security cameras will be able to capture far better quality images even in low lighting and will use facial recognition and biometrics to identify criminals and terrorists. This sophisticated imaging will be the next big breakthrough in fighting crime.
3. Coaches in the NBA will be Ph.D's. In data analytics, that is. SportVU Player, a statistics-driven platform, will include six cameras and exclusive software, enabling all 30 NBA teams to record and measure the ball movements and all players on the court – all at once. A continuous stream of data and statistics will be available, chronicling speed, distance, player separation and ball possession. Talk about rabid future fans.
4. Your home will recognize you faster than your spouse does. That's right. Your home will become almost as intelligent as any of the sentient beings that live in it. How? Again, high resolution cameras and sophisticated software that instantly recognizes you and your intentions and lets you in even if you've misplaced my keys. It will know what room you're in and all your favorite settings — from temperature to lighting, from music to the way you like the blinds adjusted.
As we face a dramatically digital future, advances like these — and more — will depend on highly intelligent imaging technology that can turn pixels into actionable, visual data. As the Internet of Things connects more and more things with cameras and lenses, entire industries including retail, medicine entertainment and automotive will be transformed, changing the way we interact, learn and live through technology.

Injured Sydney star Michael O'Loughlin would have to make rapid improvement in the next couple of days to be a chance of playing in the preliminary final against the Brisbane Lions on Saturday night, according to Swans assistant coach Steve Malaxos.
O'Loughlin tore his hamstring in the round-22 match against Melbourne at the MCG. Scans revealed damage to a 17-centimetre area of the muscle. Run-of-the-mill hamstring injuries usually require a 21-day rest from the game and, on Saturday, it will be three weeks to the day that O'Loughlin tore it.
O'Loughlin is on a carefully planned rehabilitation program that involves doing some form of exercise every second day. He has also been getting four to five hours' treatment a day. Last Friday he ran three kilometres.
Malaxos said yesterday a decision on O'Loughlin could be made as early as Wednesday. "He'll need to be looking pretty good on Wednesday (if he's) to be looked at again on Friday," Malaxos said. "I guess it all gets down to how much he improves in the next 48 to 72 hours."
Coach Paul Roos and his match committee will be advised by club medical staff before deciding whether to gamble on O'Loughlin or wait another week and hope the team gets through to the grand final.
Roos said his side had needed the weekend off and he conceded several key players would not have played at the weekend had the Swans been involved in the semi-finals.
Irishman Tadhg Kennelly (corked thigh), Stephen Doyle (sprained ankle) and Ryan O'Keefe (shoulder) would have all missed the game, he said.
But Roos was adamant that the trio would definitely play next week. He said Jason Saddington (knee soreness) was a 50-50 chance with match fitness a concern.
Meanwhile, Roos yesterday labelled the omission of Swans defender Leo Barry from this year's All-Australian team as "a huge oversight" by selectors.
Barry's non-selection has been a major talking point since the the team was announced last week, particularly given the inclusion of Brisbane's Nigel Lappin on a half-back flank. This surprised Lions coach Leigh Matthews, who has played Lappin in the midfield for virtually the entire season.
Roos said he could sympathise with the dilemmas the All-Australian selectors faced when choosing the side, but said Barry, who has been a critical part of the Swans' defence and success this year, had thoroughly deserved a place in the team.
"No question, he should have been in the team. I understand how hard it is to pick the team; it's certainly not casting any aspersions on the selectors or the players that have been picked, but no doubt, he should have been in the team," Roos said on 3AW.
The Lions are banking on an eight-day break to give Chris Scott, Aaron Shattock and 300-game veteran Marcus Ashcroft enough time to get over injuries for the Sydney match.
Scott missed the team's 42-point win over Adelaide in the second semi-final at the Gabba last Friday night because of groin soreness. Ashcroft hurt a knee during the Adelaide game.
Shattock injured a knee in the round-22 match against the Western Bulldogs and has missed both of the team's finals. Brisbane will be boosted by utility Tim Notting's return from a one-match suspension for charging.

Where I stayed
Our physically most demanding day absolutely was this one :D We were hiking a 10-kilometer-route in the Grand Canyon. The views were spectacular! For me it was quite different that I had expected beforehand. The path was quite narrow and there were no safety fences at all. So you really had to concentrate where to step! The first part, going downhill, was almost effortless activity, even though you could feel your thighs shaking a bit.... Also, I started to feel dizzy every time I looked down in the canyon. But that was probably just me...
When coming up the same route I didn't question anymore the meaning of various signs making sure that everyone takes enough water with them. I and Onni had almost 7 litres of water and we consumed all of it during the hike. It wasn't even really hot (around 25 ⁰ Celsius, could have been over 40⁰) and still was hard to get up. Apparently around 250 people every year have to be rescued from the canyon, and the stories of young people who have died there were quite terrifying.
I sure don't consider myself as a fit person anymore...
After the exercise we drove to a near-by-city called Flagstaff, found a motel, had shower, had dinner and fell asleep.

Razer Hammerhead Pro In-Ear Gaming Headset Review
Luckily it seems like Razer is catching onto the fact that there is such a void in the market and have introduced the Razer Hammerhead along with the Hammerhead Pro – the only difference between the two is that the Hammerhead Pro comes with an inline microphone and play/pause/call/stop/etc. button while the Hammerhead standard doesn't. Today though we'll be reviewing the Hammerhead Pro… at CustomPCReview

Those couple of weeks turned into a full time job. The very day I was a full time employee, and therefore the very day I was covered by insurance in the good ole' USA, I was wheeled out the studio (mid-show) in an ambulance. Over the next few months, I was wheeled out of that studio 3 times in an ambulance ... which was becoming pretty embarrassing!_ _EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. Turns out I was dying. I knew it, the doctors kept telling me it was something else. Over 18 months of being very ill, I found the right doctor and was feeling good enough again to take a consultation job at The Home Shopping Network; that, along with the changes being made at Etsy, led me to where I am now ... running a site for small businesses called The CraftStar. It's my dream = crafting and production, and helping small businesses grow.

Please make a note of it!* This week we turn the spotlight on special guest +Katherine Kotaw: _A one-word definition of Katherine Kotaw: storyteller. It's not just what she does, it's who she is. She sees life with a once-upon a time perspective. She sold her first story when she was 10, convincing a Reader's Digest editor to publish a joke. Since then she's written newspaper and magazine articles, a New York Times-acclaimed book and a memoir that is being produced by Lifetime. Yes, Katherine's life story is, literally, a movie-of-the-week. Or part of it was. She left a marriage that went from bad to dangerous which is, sadly, a common story. But it was not a story that was supposed to happen to someone like her – a well-educated, successful, strong-willed woman -- and it was not a story that anyone expected her to tell. And that's exactly why she wrote it – to reclaim her voice, which had been silenced by shame._ _Today, she has something to say about practically everything. Ask her why she founded KOTAW Content Marketing in June. Why she loves getting lost. Why she borrows dogs. Why she became a vegetarian. Why she's on a mission to brand pit bulls as lovable dogs. Or why she vows to be the last person on earth to own a smart phone. Ask Katherine anything you want. And she'll have an answer – and a story – for you._ *Wednesday, November 20th* 11:30am PST/12:30pm MST/1:30pm MST/2:30pm EST Find your time zone here >>>http://bit.ly/1aa4MR6 Each week +Christine DeGraff & +Mia Voss (+The Mia Connect) will spotlight a new guest who will share their inspiring stories of ingenuity, tenacity and courage!

Chief among the elements that define strong character are these: honesty, humility, responsibility, self-discipline, self-reliance, optimism, a long-term focus, and a lust for learning. A free society is impossible without them.

Well well look who is browsing my LinkedIn profile. Why it's CIG's global Q.A director Justin Binford!! Finally decided to come around eh?? Some of you might be wondering what the heck is CIG!? Well it's just short for Cloud Imperium Games, the developers behind one of the most anticipated PC games of 2017 Star Citizen. I might as well tell you the whole story. Earlier this year, I drove from my home in Chicago, IL to CIG's branch studio in Austin, TX to ask for the QA Tester's job in person. At first, I didn't think I would make it past the front door because I didn't give them any prior notification of my visit. I thought I would just drop my resume off at the front desk and hoped that it would get to the right person. What happened there instead was something of a miracle!

Now watching......Jason Bourne
I'm excited to see Matt Damon play this character again. For those of you who've seen the original trilogy, you know this role fits him like a glove.

Will Travel for District: History's Notable Carpetbaggers
Word is that Dennis Kucinich is on the hunt for a new political home. The Ohio Congressman's losing his seat to redistricting, and rather than run head-to-head with a neighboring representative, he's considering flexing his national celebrity across the country from Cleveland in a Congressional district in Washington State.
There is also speculation that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin may be the new owner of a home in Arizona, and that she's motivated by more than just the mild winters. The state is home to both her daughter Bristol, who recently bought a home there, and an open Senate seat being vacated Republican Senator John Kyl.
This is just political chatter for now, but they would follow a long history of candidates relocating for better political fortunes, a phenomenon otherwise known as carpetbagging.
Here are some of our favorites:
Hillary Clinton – The then-First Lady launched her campaign as the Clinton administration prepared its exit from the White House. A native of Illinois, attended college in Massachusetts and law school in Connecticut before moving to Arkansas for husband Bill Clinton to launch his political career. The Clintons bought a house in Chappaqua in 1999, in anticipation of an election for the seat vacated by Daniel Patrick Moynihan in 1998. She won the race in 2000 and was reelected in 2006 before running for president in 2008.
Elizabeth Dole – The wife of the Bob Dole, the long-serving Kansas Senator, moved from Washington back to her home state to run for retiring Senator Jesse Helms' seat. She had been active in politics for decades, serving as Secretary of Transportation during the Reagan administration and Secretary of Labor under President George H. W. Bush. She also explored a run for the Republican nomination for President in 2000. She served in the U.S. Senate from 2003 to 2008, but lost her bid for reelection.
Jay Rockefeller – Born in New York City into a family with Republican roots, Democrat Jay Rockefeller has represented the state of West Virginia in the U.S. Senate since 1985. He moved to West Virginia as a VISTA volunteer in the 1964, where he worked in coal mining community. Two years later, he ran for House of Delegates as a Democrat. He was also elected West Virginia Secretary of State and served two terms as governor before joining the Senate .
Robert Kennedy – After serving as Attorney General in his brother John F. Kennedy's administration, Kennedy moved to New York to run for Senate in 1964. He had lived in New York for a few years as a boy, but he still faced fierce that he was an ambitious carpetbagger. He made light of the criticism, and his wife Ethel Kennedy even suggested this campaign slogan: "There is only so much you can do for Massachusetts." His victory in the race set him up for his 1968 bid for the presidency. He was killed while celebrating his win in the California presidential primary in June of 1968.

Summertime, and the living is easy, at least that's what Michelle Obama thought when she decided to take daughter, Sasha on a trip to Spain. Little did she consider how right wing kooks would interpret going to Spain in the summer while millions of Americans can't even go to Six Flags this summer with the kids. Right wing media has unleashed a torrent of criticism concerning a trip that included lunch with the King and Queen of Spain at which Michelle tasted; Andalusian style chilled gazpacho soup, chargrilled turbot, veal escalopes with mustard, oriental rice with sauted mushrooms. And, rather than staying in two or three star hotels as do most Americans, Michelle had to park her body in a 7 star hotel which cost $7,000 a night. Of course, the Secret Service selected the hotel. Most probably this is another of those storm in a teacup episodes in American politics.
However, perhaps, Mrs. Obama might have reflected on the current situation in which so many millions of people are desperate and are cutting back on summer activities for their own children. A trip to someplace in continental America would have resonated with Americans. There are times when the powerful have to be cognizant of how the powerless feel.
Oh, Michelle, after assuming office in March, 1933, Mrs. Roosevelt had a party at which hot dogs were served. In the midst of the Depression, she had to entertain the visiting King and Queen of England– once again, hot dogs were served. Got the point, Mrs. Obama?

Marna Cohen of Mill Valley, a retired social worker at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center who devoted her life to social justice causes, died Jan. 26 at the age of 91.
Mrs. Cohen was appointed to the Marin Human Rights Commission in 2001. The day before she died, she was honored with the commission's Lifetime Social Justice Award. Although she was in failing health, she was able to accept the award in person with the help of her son, Paul Cohen, a former San Rafael city councilman and current city school board trustee, who drove her to the awards dinner.
"She was able to see everyone and hear the applause," he said. "She definitely knew what was going on and what the award was about. She touched a lot of people in her lifetime of service. The timing couldn't have been better."
Mrs. Cohen died 24 hours later after being admitted to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Rafael with pneumonia.
A life member of board of the Marin Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, she was a holder of the Benjamin Dreyfus Award for achievement in civil liberties.
"She was a calming influence and fairly quiet, but when she did speak up it was something that was helpful and decisive," said fellow board member Bob Harmon of Mill Valley.
During her 25-year tenure at the UCSF Medical Center, Mrs. Cohen worked in the neonatal ICU and the adolescent medicine unit. She was also an assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at the UCSF School of Medicine.
After her retirement in 1986, she wrote that she enjoyed community service "without the drag of a contract for money." She served on the Marin Civil Grand Jury and chaired its Health and Human Services subcommittee. Her advocacy on the subcommittee led to the establishment of a clinic in Marin for mothers of drug-addicted babies.
Mrs. Cohen helped start Support Services for Elders and served on the board of the Family Service Agency and the Marin Institute on Aging.
In the 1960s, she protested the Vietnam War and was deeply involved in the Civil Rights Movement, fighting for the desegregation of housing. After moving to the Redwoods senior community in Mill Valley, she joined Seniors for Peace and participated in demonstrations against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Born in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. in 1921, she graduated from Antioch College and got her master's in social work from Simmons College.
In addition to her son, Mrs. Cohen is survived by her daughter, Judy Cohen-Baer of Ohio, and two grandchildren. Her husband, Irving Cohen, died in 1985.
A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at The Redwoods at 40 Camino Alto in Mill Valley. Donations in her name may be sent to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

MADISON - A decade ago, Italian judges did not convict a rapist because the victim wore tight jeans and, they reasoned, her attack could not have been rape; she must have helped the rapist remove them.
The decision has not gone unnoticed.
Ever since then, rape crisis centers around the world have recognized what Morris Cares – formerly the Morris County Sexual Assault Center – calls both "the absurdity and the danger of this type of thinking" by marking "Denim Day," challenging their communities to wear jeans and sponsoring a host of prevention activities.
This year Morris Cares, a service of Atlantic Behavioral Health at the Morristown Medical Center, together with the members of the Morris Alliance to Prevent Sexual Assault and Drew University in Madison, will celebrate New Jersey's fourth annual "Denim Day" with a 5K Walk/Run of Awareness at 9 a.m. Sunday, April 27, on the campus of Drew University at 36 Madison Ave. in Madison.
The 5K will be followed by live music, survivors speaking out regarding their stories, jeans decorating, a T-shirt display, a silent auction, and many booths with awareness-raising materials.
The Morris County Board of Freeholders will present a proclamation designating April 27 as "Denim Day in Morris County."
Registration for the un-timed 5K Walk/Run of Awareness is open to the public and will begin at 8 a.m. on April 27. The three-hour event will include a table where the public can decorate jeans with messages of advocacy or support, as well as information tables with materials on such topics as "Media Literacy," "AIDS Awareness," and "Drug and Alcohol Facilitated Sexual Assault," as well as tables hosted by local agencies.
Live music will be provided by the popular New Jersey-based band Alan Grant and Primitive Soul, which has donated its talents to New Jersey's "Denim Day" every year.
To register for the 5K or to make a donation, visit http://denimday2014.myevent.com.
Chilling Statistics
In 2013, Morris Cares treated more than 200 new survivors of sexual violence and fielded more than 1,100 calls from victims or family members. The all-volunteer Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) trained advocates handled Hotline calls and accompanied new victims to safe shelters. Morris Cares for Sexual Assault Survivors: Counseling, Advocacy, Respect, Education and Support currently sees an average of 40 to 50 clients, age 12 and older, weekly either in individual or group therapy sessions. All services are free and confidential.
Morris Cares noted that, according to U.S. Bureau of Justice statistics:
• Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted;
• Females between the ages of 16 and 24 are four times more likely to be victims of a sexual assault than any other age group;
• Persons younger than 18 account for 67 percent of all sexual assault victimizations reported to law enforcement agencies. Children 11 and younger account for 34 percent, and children 5 and younger account for 14 percent, of those cases;
• Law enforcement arrests for Internet sex crimes against minors are on the rise;
• 15,000 to 19,000 people with developmental disabilities are raped each year in North America.
Morris Cares added, however, that according to recent studies by several universities, the reality of attitudes toward rape is:
• 46 percent of eighth and ninth graders think being raped is sometimes the victim's fault;
• 40 percent believe that wearing sexy clothes, or drunkenness by the victim, causes or excuses rape;
• 33 percent think they would not be arrested if they forced sex on someone;
• 35 percent of college men who voluntarily participated in psychological research indicated they might commit a rape if they knew they could get away with it.
'Victim' To 'Survivor'
Founded in 2001 by the Atlantic Health System, Morris Cares works to empower adolescents, women and men who have been sexually victimized and assist them in making the transition from "victim" to "survivor." It pursues this mission through individual and group counseling, community and corporate education programs, medical and legal advocacy, the Sexual Assault Response Team which operates 24/7, the Sexual Assault Hotline, professional trainings, and newsletters designed for both teens and college students.
Morris Cares may be reached at (973) 971-4754, and its Sexual Assault Program Hotline phone number is (973) 829-0587.

babes The 13 Smartest Porn Stars of All Time f p @
Sasha Grey
Here's a video of Sasha Grey describing her 5 favorite films.
Only in her early 20s, Sasha Grey has starred in over 170 adult films.
She's been on various programs throughout television and the internet defending her lifestyle and those who choose it. She has been quoted as saying that she's never done anything she didn't want to do.
How is she intelligent enough to be on this list? Well, she turned to p*********y as an art form. She says she used to watch it when she was in college and used it to m********e, and was a huge fan, but always felt like something was "missing" from it.
Her unique brand of name-calling and vocal reactions to what is happening in every one of her scenes are what she describes as a sort of "psychological warfare" she wages on her co-stars and the audience in order to challenge them all.
In addition to her successful adult film career, she's also starred in mainstream director Stephen Soderberg's film The Girlfriend Experience and even has her own band.
She has since used her popularity to herald such causes as the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' initiative for animal birth control.

Shy Love
Shy Love has starred in over 250 adult films during her career.
She legitimately graduated high school at the age of 16, then earned a bachelor's degree and two Masters Degrees. She got her Bachelor's degree in Accounting, then got her Master's Degree in Accounting immediately afterward.
Soon after, she became the comptroller of a multi-national pet pharmaceutical company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. And during her employment there, she found the time to take night classes to earn her second Master's Degree in Taxation. By the age of 25, she was a certified public accountant, which means she's probably REALLY fun at parties.
She's currently a talent manager, as she even started her own talent management agency.
Here's a video about this lovely lady's lucrative career and how she runs some of her business from her bed:

Jenna Jameson
Jenna Jameson is widely considered the most successful woman in porn. (As well as starring in mainstream films.)
While her academic career isn't much to marvel at we have to give credit to the woman who almost single handedly brought porn into the mainstream. She owns multiple businesses and built up, then sold to Playboy, an enormously profitable production company in ClubJenna (that has over $30 million in revenue, with at least half of that being profit).
The biggest reason for Jenna Jameson making this list, though, is her debating skills. In 2001, the Oxford Union debating society invited Jameson to come to Oxford to debate a proposed British law against pornography. Shockingly, she led her side to victory, winning the debate 204 to 27.
She's also taken Bill O'Reilly to task for some of his hypocritical ways. Here's a youtube video of her appearance on his show, Jenna Jameson on Bill O'Reilly . Later, in February 2003, Pony International planned to feature her as one of several porn stars in advertisements for athletic shoes. This plan was attacked by O'Reilly, then Jameson sent a sarcastic email to the show, writing:
"I hope Bill understands the difference between a porn star and a hooker. I assume he has done some research on the subject because he requested some of my videos after we finished taping my appearance. I imagine he wanted them for professional reasons."
Jenna Jameson for the win.

58 people just voted on Asia Carrera
Not to be mistaken with Wayne's World's Tia Carrera, Asia Carrera was born in New York City and studied piano as a child (which is probably where she gets her fast fingers). She was so good at this, in fact (the piano playing), that she performed at Carnegie Hall TWICE before even turning 15.
She's starred in over 275 adult films in her career (as well as some mainstream films) and has as IQ of 156. She also attended Rutgers University from which she earned a full scholarship, where she double-majored in Business and Japanese. She was also an avid Woman's Basketball fan.
She never quite finished her full degree, though, because she made more money at the stripping job she had during college and according to her just "had more fun" and, according to Cyndi Lauper, that's all girls want to do anyway, so everything seemed to work out.
She's gone on to own the rights to some of her most famous films, including "A is for Asia", and has become one of the most well-known adult film stars of all time.
She's the self proclaimed "nerd of porn" and is an avid player of Unreal Tournament (a popular First-Person-Shooter game). She even went as far as designing her own game skins.
Her gamertag is megabitchgoddess, for anyone who's interested.
You may recognize her from the fake porn film in The Big Lebowski (Not to be confused with the Real Porn version of the Fake Big Lebowski) or from the action figures of her that are sold in some novelty stores.
In this video: Asia's rocky journey to success, fueled primarily by her intelligent survival.
A.J. Bailey
The Scottish 29-year-old blonde holds a Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology and studied art at St Andrews, the top Scottish university attended by Prince William.
While she attended the university and was in MBA courses with some of Prince William's friends, she got her first spread in Hustler magazine.
She's admitted that she spends a lot of her free time reading Tolstoy and Oscar Wilde.
"I quite like being called the world's brainiest porn star... it is a cliche that all porn stars are airheads." see more on A.J. Bailey
Laurie Wallace
Scottish adult film actress Laurie Wallace graduated Summa C*m Laude (must not... make... joke) with a double major in German and Political Science from Loyola College in Maryland. She later attended law school at George Washington University.
She was also an intern on K Street, a center for various think tanks and advocacy groups located in Washington D.C.
She later moved on to modeling and intelligently moved onto p*********y afterward, because that was (obviously) her calling. She used the pull from her modeling career to make appearances in Maxim, FHM, many national commercials and over 300 romance novel covers.
She's definitely someone who could have stayed a scholar, and could have become a very successful, well-connected lawyer, but CHOSE another profession she just happened to enjoy more. And for that, we salute her. see more on Laurie Wallace
39 people just voted on Nina Hartley
Coming from Buddhist parents, Nina Hartley started working in strip clubs during her sophomore year of nursing school to support herself. She graduated magna c*m laude (must not... make... joke....) from San Francisco State University's nursing school, and is a registered nurse.
One of her best quotes is: "Sex isn't something men do to you. It isn't something men get out of you. Sex is something you dive into with gusto and like it every bit as much as he does." She's a well-known sex educator and sex-positive feminist.
Before Jenna Jameson's rise to fame, she was pretty much THE go-to eloquent, well-spoken spokesperson FOR p*********y. She even appeared on Oprah Winfrey defending the subject in front of dozens of angry women in the audience.
She is also a really experienced and wise sex educator and teaches via a series of "Guide to..." films that pretty much cover the entire spectrum of sexuality. She has a "How to" video on how to do just about anything and will teach you and your partner to do all that stuff you've always been afraid to do. see more on Nina Hartley
Joanna Angel
Joanne Angel is not only a star, but is a director and writer of the adult films she stars in, which is hot.
Even hotter still, she has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature with a minor in Film Studies from Rutgers University.
Like Asia Carrera, she enrolled in Rutgers University. She earned her B.A. in English Literature and minored in Film Studies.
She's extremely well spoken and very eloquent, as well as informed about her trade. Her writing has been featured in magazines and newspapers such as The New York Times. She even wrote a sex advice column for popular music magazine Spin.
Here's a video of her views on the evolution of p*********y and what effect the internet has had on it:
Here's her learned perspective on the demise of legitimate sexual contacts on Craigslist:

text: If you have read this blog, you know in the past I have shared some of my favorite easy-to-make breakfast casseroles and dishes that can be made in advance and then merely popped into the oven in the morning. Why? I do not like baking or cooking elaborate things in the morning. Although considered a morning person by SPH, the truth is I seldom enjoy being in the kitchen in the morning other than to pour a coffee, tea or bowl of cereal. Enter R, who loves hot breakfasts. G? He is content as can be with a bowl of cereal, but R is not a big cereal fan and consequently often requests eggs for breakfast. Eggs are preferable to his frequent request of pancakes or homemade waffles, so I usually oblige. But since breakfast can be somewhat hectic, with me trying to get three (SPH flies solo on breakfast) breakfasts prepared at once, I have found a little-less hands on way to get eggs on the table. Baking eggs in the oven is a good way to get a large number of scrambled eggs on the table at once, but it also works for a our small-ish weekday egg needs too. Instead of constant monitoring, just a quick peak once in a while allows for the eggs to cook up perfectly. How to make Oven Scrambled Eggs 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2. Choose the number of eggs you want to prepare. 3. Add one tablespoon milk per egg you are preparing, plus a dash of salt and pepper. 4. For every 4 eggs, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or melted butter. 5. Mix well and choose an oven safe dish that will be ample for your egg mixture (for 8-12 eggs, we use a 9x9 glass pan). 6. Bake at 375 degrees. The time you need will vary on how many eggs you are baking in the oven, but basically you will want to check on the eggs after 6-8 minutes of baking and then every few minutes from then on, scraping the dish each time, as you would a pan on the stove top. 7. Once *almost* set, turn the heat on the oven off, crack the oven door open, and let finish while you finish your other breakfast items. To make preparing oven scrambled eggs even easier, you can mix the egg, milk, salt, pepper and vegetable oil the night prior and then give it a quick re-stir before you pop it into the oven. SPC

Moffat County High School girls varsity basketball team, but the results of the following day made that easier to take.
The Bulldogs won their final regular season game, 51-43, hosting the Grand Valley Cardinals on Saturday. Grand Valley's 18-point victory earlier in the season was a distant memory as the Moffat County girls took an early lead and held it the entire game.
Grand Valley started to gain some ground in the second half, capitalizing on some errant passes, but MCHS was too far ahead.
Head coach Matt Ray said some decisions were clearly rushed as the team, worn out from a long week, struggled slightly in the troublesome third quarter that has plagued them frequently.
"We just need to take care of the ball the whole game," he said. "This is our sixth game in 12 days, so you can tell they were tired. We played really well and we attacked it, and now it's time for districts."
The win was an important one for the Bulldogs, 11-5 in the 3A Western Slope League, giving them a home-court advantage for Tuesday's first playoff game, which will pit the No. 4 seeded team against Coal Ridge once again.
Senior Brittany Walker has entered the playoffs all four years of high school and hopes to stay strong entering the next round.
"We need to work together as a team and we'll be able to go far," she said.
Walker and fellow seniors Allie Ehlers, Cheianne Pinnt and Jazmine Swindler, as well as boys basketball team member Taft Cleverly, were honored in a ceremony between the girls and boys matches by the younger players.
This is the first year on the team for Pinnt, who said she was honored to share the court with the rest of the Bulldogs.
"It feels good being able to go this far, and I hope we can go farther," Pinnt said.

Among pressure to prove that there was nothing to hide, Senator John McCain and his wife, Cindy, announced last week that, despite earlier comments that they would not release Ms. McCain's tax info, they would do so. The information was made public and is available on McCain's web site.
Senator McCain had previously released his personal tax information. The Senator and his wife filed separately in 2007, as they had done for the past 27 years.
The McCains did not release the entire tax return – only a two page summary. The summary revealed that Ms. McCain received a salary of $299,418 and interest of $40,488. She reported taxable gains of $743,476. The lion's share of her income, $4,551,901, was reported on Schedule E. Schedule E includes income from rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, corporations or trusts. The information which was released to the public did not include a Schedule E nor explain the source of that income.
The tax information is only for the tax year 2006. Ms. McCain (like me) had requested an extension for 2007.
In response to the release, a spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee said, "It is laughable for the campaign to release so little information and say they are being transparent." The Republican National Committee noted that Ms. McCain had released more information than her predecessor, Teresa Heinz Kerry, in 2004. Both had similarly claimed that such information should be private… should it?Want more taxgirl goodness?
