Looks interesting, especially for the price. Still a lot of money though.
If it was around £300, this would be THE phone to have.
LG need to get rid of the split screen nonsense or do it properly.
Why are you expecting an extra 1Gb of memory to make any difference? This is only used when running several apps at the same time.
It is a fair amount of money but it's cheaper than other phones of this spec. There are very good phones around for less but they all tend to have quite a serious disadvantage somewhere along the line. The Nexus 5 for example is £300 but I'd pay the extra for the camera on this because I take a lot of phone pics and video.
We didn't expect an extra 1gb to make much difference it's just a little explanation that it's not something to worry about too much, especially as it's only going to the South Korean market (to start with anyway). A German site did some tests and found it to be a few percent faster in most tests (around 5% overall) https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Edit: The test was with no other apps running so there is a small benefit even when running a single app.
Agree with you about the price - it is cheaper than the competition.
I'm just saying that if it was £300 or thereabouts, it would define a whole new price point and sell exceptionally well. A bit like the Moto G which went on to become THE phone to buy at that price.
LG prices usually come down after the initial release so let's see ....
Yup - someone needs to "do a Moto G" at this end of the spectrum.
Can you put the main specs in table on the first page. I don't like to wade through to find out about removable battery and microsd.
Great phone.. Gonna wait till September..
Btw, which stand to you use?
Please provide with a link if it's possible..
I'm late to the party but the 3GB wouldn't really change the benchmark results and should not be expected to. What it should help is with the smoothness of the phone during daily use; switching between apps which may use a lot of RAM. It's possible that apps may use memory due to the ultra high resolution.
Average battery life!?!?!?
you might want to do another test on that lol
Err they have, it's called the Nexus range...
Loving this phone, I just bought it and I'm already in love with it! The 3GB RAM is absolutely a killer, its almost as much as my laptop!
The Laser Focus has to be the fastest focus I've ever encountered! The camera delivers brilliant quality pictures too!
Check out my own review here: http://tech-xyz.com/which-s...
can anyone tell me what the setting is under the front facing camera and press the settings (wrench). theres 2 heads facing outwards and if you press it, they both face left. i cant seem to find out what this does... anyone???
I just bought mine a week ago and boy oh boy is it a brilliant phone so far..... in the first 2 days that i had the phone i saw it needed a software update, i thought it was strange because we did all the updates in store, but non the less i did the update and one of the features for the update was a battery performance enhancer, after doing that my battery is 10x better!!! Not that it was bad before but now it lasts even longer!!
I love this phone, but the battery life is below average. I have uninstalled a few apps and tried monitoring my battery life. After 6 hours of ONLY texting about 20 times, 20 minutes of music, and the rest on standby the battery has went from 100% to 29%. How in the world did you do all those things and the battery last ALL DAY? Wow, this is some kind of joke right?
About 15-20% battery per hour than display is on with avarage brightness. 1% - 4-6 hours on standby than wifi is on, mobile data on and bluetooth on. I am not gamer, for me this phone holds 2 full days, 2 hours on display per day (web browsing, some youtube video, messages and calls). Also this phone have very good network reception, possibly one of the best antenas in world, not sure but i am happy enough.
Dont buy phones on ebay, mostly sellers selling refurbished phones, whats why they are cheaper than in shops and sometimes faulty.
Perhaps you got faulty phone
I don't know about you guys but my phones battery life sucks, I am a big widget user but haven't added any because of this. I also get told that they can NOT hear me. I have traded my phone thinking that it was a bad one but NOPE its not. I am disappointed with this phone. My G2 was better call quality and battery life was too (i know its because of the screen quality).
Perhaps! I really hope that is the case, and if it is, I REALLY hope verizon will let me try another one out. :/
A full day of use off a full charge and my battery is still over 70%. Light use, I've seen it in high 80% area. If I tether and use the camera a lot....I've seen it go as low as 58%. The battery life is superb.
I got this phone in early August - had a Nexus 5 before that and previously iPhone 5 and 4S. The LG G3 is by far the best of the lot, much better battery life than the Nexus 5, great screen and nice thin bezels, which in my opinion, make it look much more elegant and streamlined than any iPhone or Sony phones, both of which have unattractive wide bezels top and bottom. I really can't imagine how this phone could be better for my use. I mainly read news and sports apps, kindle ebooks, emails and web browsing - no graphics intensive games or videos. I have no regrets with this phone, the first time I can say that, so I highly recommend it.
wow , i could only dream of that...
i have the 32gb - 3gb ram version and today i only got a lousy 2.5 hrs of screen on time. havent watched any vids, i was on wifi for an hour or so... there certainly is something wrong
Just curious: have you solved this problem somehow?
It is £300 now and I have got it.
I think it's a "beautify" button. It makes your skin tones look better in different lighting.
You have settings and apps that are generating too much activity.

OK Give Me Your Best Line: Today In Saratoga It Will Be So Hot..
As I was going through my news feed this morning one of my friends posted this line. I immediately started to post my suggestions. They are not all winners but not everybody is when we are talking about the track!
So think about Saratoga and all it has to offer and about all the people braving the heat wave to experience opening day and let's have some fun at their expence. Maybe I will give a prize to to the person I think comes up with the most creative line!
Here are a few I came up with:
Today, it will be so hot in Saratoga……..
1. …even the horses are in the beer line!
2. … the dirt on the track turned to glass.
3. … the clubhouse had an over timer on it.
4. … the horses ask for the whip just to feel the breeze.
5. … the jockeys are wearing only , their jockeys.
OK, maybe they weren't great but they are original.. the last one came from Jeff Levack. So now it is your turn, give me the best "Its so hot in Saratoga…" line, and maybe I'll fix you up with a prize!

Safetech, a maker of automatic personnel protection based in the United Kingdom, has moved into new premises in Sunderland, England. The company manufactures the Guardian system designed to protect people working near conveyors and other potentially hazardous machinery.
"We decided to continue being based at Sunderland, in the north east of England", says Managing Director Robert Smith. "This central position in the U.K. has excellent transport links to Europe and America, which enable us to offer a rapid response to our many clients in those continents."
The company says over the last year the success of its latest product, Guardian, has led to a demand for additional manufacturing and office space.
The new location not only provides more room for the expanding company but also offers energy cost savings, Safetech says.
Safetech was established in 1986. The company makes products and systems designed to protect people working near conveyors and other hazardous machinery. The company's Guardian system uses technology to distinguish human beings from other objects, the company says. If anyone comes into the danger zone, for example by falling onto a conveyor or entering a hazardous area, Guardian switches off the machinery. According to Safetech, the system works even if the worker is unconscious or buried in material.
The latest Guardian system features a smaller control panel and what the company calls "extra fail-safes." According to Safetech, one Guardian system can offer protection for several conveyors or other machinery, offering cost savings for customers. Guardian also can also be configured to detect and protect workers in a wide range of circumstances, the company says, such as creating no-go zones: The Guardian system can tell the control hub where an operator is working and stop the machine before it arrives in that area.
Safetech systems are designed to safeguard workers in a wide range of processes, including applications in recycling facilities, paper and board mills and many manufacturing and engineering functions.

We commenced the decent to San Juan settlement down the second deepest canyon on the planet. Three hours later with Elvis legs we arrived at a small suspension bridge and a welcomed freezing cold dip in the river. The evening highlight was the stars, with no light pollution it was breathtaking and the Milky Way was beautiful. A small fire with stories about the town distinguished the sky so I turned in for what was going to be the most peaceful ten hours sleep I'd had in a while.
Waking up to the Colca canyon outside your front door created hairs on the back on the neck and a huge smile. I listened to some music as we weaved our way along a cactus laden path finding it difficult due to my lack of trust in the hostel staff and therefore bringing items I didn't need like the iPad I now write on. Twenty minutes into the trek we all got an early morning wake up from a random boar that perched on a head height embankment, a few choice grunts made us jump out of our skins.
Arriving a hotel paradisio four hours later we had a great little rock pool and more company. The tour included Claudia (Germany), Grant (USA) and a French couple who I don't choose to remember due to their lack of involvement in the group.
Met an American girl called Hilary from Indiana so sat drinking with her sister and friend the night before our mammoth climb out of the canyon.
Alarm sounded at four thirty and we started our ascent on what would turn out to be the hardest climb of my life. With my overpacked bag and lack of a good meal the climb was intense yet one of the best challenges I have overcome. The sunrise over the mountain ridges alongside the emerging colours of the canyon were spectacular.
Arriving at the top I felt such a sense of achievement, so we headed to a restaurant for breakfast and chilled out in some natural hot springs where you could see the water bubbling out of the earth. Returning to Arequipa completely content with my Colca Canyon experience aside from the group dynamics.
It doesn't come as fresh news but definitely reinforced to me that it doesn't matter where I am it's who I'm with that matters. Also I decided that I agree with people sometimes when my feelings contradict what they say and I made a mental note to express how I feel a little more than just agreeing for an easy life.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear Lists › Exaggerated pack weights????
Nov 7, 2012 at 9:35 am #1295853
Craig NadeauBPL Member
Okay, here is a pet peeve on mine – maybe someone can shoot me down and straighten me out.
How is it that on a 6 day WestCoast Trail trip I had on a 40# pack. I was not even trying to be light. I had about 2# more food than I needed, I carried the whole 2 man tent, I had my cell phone with me and a solar charger. I even carried the cooking gear. My wives pack was 30#. We had umbrellas and a water filter. I had 2 bear bags. I wasn't carrying an extra sleeping bag, firewood or a cast iron pan.
So when I hear stories about hikers with 65# packs or even 75# packs, what in the world are people finding to put into their packs? I think like so many things in life we love to exaggerate size and weight. One lady we were with was completely convinced that her pack was over 45# and she told everyone just that. I lifted it once for her and it was certainly not 45#.
Well from now on if anyone asks I only carry either an 8# pack or a 75# pack….Nov 7, 2012 at 10:05 am #1926855

"So when I hear stories about hikers with 65# packs or even 75# packs, what in the world are people finding to put into their packs?"
It all adds up:
Heavier Big 3: pack, tent, sleeping bag
Heavier sleeping pads and ground cloths
More and heavier clothes, lots of spares, camp shoes
Big cook pots, heavier stoves, more eating gear like a cup, bowl, plate, knife/fork/spoon, gadgets like French press coffee makers, heavy grills, salt and pepper shakers
Big filters– like a First Need at 16oz vs a Sawyer at 3oz, heavy water bottles
More toys: binoculars, SLR cameras, tripods, radios
Tools: hatches, axes, saws, shovels, multi-tools, large knives, machetes, big flashlights
Full bottles of insect repellent, sunscreen, soap, etc
Big first aid kits
Heavy food items and excess water
Camp chairs
Big rope bundles

While I wonder how anyone could end up with as much as 40 lbs. for a 6-day trip. My pack for 6 days (solo) is half that. On the other hand, back in the 1980's I was staggering around the North Cascades under a 50 lb. pack. It's all relative! We take what we think we need.Nov 7, 2012 at 12:33 pm #1926891

This is my buddy (he has never heard of UL backpacking) on a 3 day trip, yes 3-day! He is 6'1"
210lbs for reference of how gigantic his pack was. I felt overpacked with my 35 liter pack that ended up weighing 18lbs with my food. I'd say his weight right around 65-60lbs and he had a smaller backpack on his chest. Temps around 20f at night.Nov 7, 2012 at 1:20 pm #1926904

Come on Man! Look at all of his stuff…Nov 7, 2012 at 3:08 pm #1926929
Are we talking about nowadays or times past?
When I first started backpacking it was not uncommon for people to do 14 day trips without re-supply. And 2 lbs per day of food was not considered too much. Add a couple quarts of water and you have 32 lbs right there.
Now add a 20 lb base weight (some folks consider this "lightweight"), and you are at 52 lbs.
BTW, I think 40 lbs for 6 days is heavy unless you need to carry a gallon of water in the desert :)Nov 7, 2012 at 3:54 pm #1926937

Seriously? Your friend needs help in a bad way. I wouldn't even step foot onto the trail with him had I been in your position. In light of that recent article going around musing on the current state of "UL" validity, images like that of your friend make me cringe a bit. Obviously, his load is beyond heavy, it is is borderlining stupid. No, it is stupid. Five Finger shodded to top it off? Goodness…
I have to ask, was he proud of his ability to carry all that weight?Nov 7, 2012 at 4:00 pm #1926940

@saparisorLocale: Pacific Northwest
Aside from the obvious weight of his pack, why is he wearing jeans and why does he have a sweatshirt/jacket wrapped around his waist, under his waistbelt?
We here at BPL can argue the finer points of merino vs. polyester, but anyone can buy at least basic nylon or polyester clothing and fleece at Target, WalMart, T J Maxx, Ross, etc. for cheap.
Doh! Raquel beat me to it!Nov 7, 2012 at 4:37 pm #1926949

I have mates that lug huge packs, They just double up on things "just in case" that clearly they have never used. Apparently going bush means huge packs and no comfort, everything will break and you will die without backup. Also the comments on full bottles of this and that, yep, seen that. SLR's, big Bino's, large cheap synthetic sleeping bags rated to -20°C. Ah I just cringe.
Sad thing is a lot of the people I've crossed with huge packs are on a school trip and quite young. I'm sure it ends up there first and last backpacking trip. I know that's mentioned a lot on here.
Man I've seen some junk lugged bush but a spirit level ??? Man that's just funny.
Out of interest was it to get a hammock level or something ??Nov 7, 2012 at 7:40 pm #1926988

I agree with Nick. Blue jeans are completely fine for backpacking if there is no precipitation. And rain pants solve that. They are also heard wearing and durable. Obviously there are much better options out there, but it's still fine.
I have seen some crazy heavy packs on bushcraft forums. Some people really love the old Alice packs, which are probably like 7 pounds. Then there are the old military sleep systems which can weigh up to 10 pounds for the winter set up. Then some people will pack large axes, which are only useful in cold/wet or winter conditions, in perfect weather. Some people will also carry multiple pieces of cookware, like 2 large pots and a large frying pan.Nov 7, 2012 at 7:57 pm #1926993

I love that in the background there's a guy (forgive me if this is one of you) lookin' a bit portly, but who's carrying a pack small enough that you can't even see it peaking up over his shoulders. Ironically said guy will probably walk twice as fast and have just as enjoyable a time if not more so, carrying 1/3 the weight.
Seriously though, a builder's level?! That takes the cake. That even bests my girlfriend and buddy who each carry machetes in case of zombies (or in case I'm getting mauled and they figure they can fend off said big cat by accidentally lopping off one of my arms).
Btw I wish I were kidding about the zombies part…… it's endearing if nothing else, and hey the giggles I get seeing a lightweight Osprey pack with a machete lashed to the side, deep in the heart of Austin Texas's denses subtropical rain forests, weigh nothing.Nov 8, 2012 at 8:42 pm #1927207

From 1969-75 we did a lot of mid-altitude Sierra trips of 5 days. External frames, Svea 123s, canteens, Lowa Alspitz boots, spinning reels, but only tube tents, very little water, and no filters. We always bemoaned our "50 pound" packs. Then one day we actually weighed them. The heaviest was 33 pounds. The only guy that got close was a Coca Cola junkie who wanted to make a statement by never buying non-returnable drink containers (the ban-the-can movement was popular in Sacto then). He took a 6 pack of bottled Coke into Desolation and, of course, packed out the empties. He didn't offer to share and we didn't offer to help carry.Nov 8, 2012 at 8:52 pm #1927211

These kids were out for the weekend. Short hike into established campground. Set up their tents and soon reappeared all redressed in sweats and fleece. Not so heavy, but does take up a huge amount of room along with that synthetic filled, flannel lined sleeping bag and a real pillow will put you into a pack like dudes above real quick. But everything is fully lofted looks like.Nov 8, 2012 at 9:10 pm #1927215

I feel like I am going to show up to a group hike with traditional backpackers some day and the group leader is going to think I don't know what I am doing based on the size of my pack. And then I am going to be forced to pull everything out of my pack and show that I do, in fact, have the proper gear. And he will still look at me all befuddled.
I really think that the biggest obstacle to packing light for beginner backpackers are massive, cheap sleeping bags.
The weirdest packing job I ever saw was in Big Sur a couple weekends ago. Some guy had a very small backpack (the kind that mountain bikers use) and strapped to the bottom was a massive, at least 3 foot long tube stuff stack. I have no idea what was in that. I felt bad for his poor shoulders.Nov 8, 2012 at 9:14 pm #1927216

When i was much younger I went with uncle Wayne on backpacking trips in the Sierra with friends.
We usually had a frozen Tri Tip steak for the first night out.
Just before we left one time he asked if beans would be good with our steak.
I said "sure"!
Then he loaded a 1 gallon can of backed beans into the top of my pack and said "Good, you can carry them."
Anyhow, here are a few pictures of impressive loads I have seen carried on trails.
More power to these people.. as long as i don't have to carry it!
This last photo is me from 2004.
Seems only fair to lampoon myself as well.
My old Dana Designs pack weighed more empty than my entire base weight now.
Ultralighter crossing only? I mean, look at the tiny packs!Nov 9, 2012 at 1:36 pm #1927369

We recognise the valuable and important role of carers and understand that carers also need support and the occasional break. Yarra's respite care service offers both in-house and centre-based services to give carers a break from their caring role.
Our in-house respite care service is provided in your home. These sessions usually occur at a pre-arranged time although they can sometimes be arranged on an ad hoc or emergency basis. Feel comfortable discussing your needs with us, including the length of respite care and the type of care that will suit your circumstances.
Council has a respite service for carers of disabled children to enable parents/caregivers the opportunity to participate in family, social and community activities.
To receive the service, an assessment would be undertaken by an assessment officer. The services provided may include:

OH, so that's it.
Julia Gillard is not a real person and Kevin Rudd is going to steal Australia and sell it to China.
Thanks Nathan C.
When you posted your bizarre four-minute video on why you support Tony Abbott and why you are against Kevin Rudd, we were interested.
And it started well enough.
You said, "I have thought long and hard about this."
Sorry, but that clearly was a bit of a fib. Pretty soon into this election explainer, it gets a little confusing.
Nathan gets kind of tongue tied: " ... and now he's he's back and she's ... where has he been? And Wayne Swan, he knew and she knew, that day he knew beforehand ... and he's back and they are liars and they, they, they want to steal Australia and sell it to China.
"And he's for gays and it's voting and not abortions. And she's not even a real person."
But now Nathan has made his mark and we send him out for the world to enjoy.
We thank you, Nathan, but we are not so sure Tony Abbott will be doing the same.

Loading up on guns and ammo with no "real" preps...
But, the disturbing trend we're seeing now is that people, wary of the almost-assured attacks that are forthcoming against American's 2nd Amendment rights, are spending thousands of dollars on assault rifles and tens of thousands of rounds of ammo, many without setting aside a single can of beans or rice or even spaghetti-o's. Not only is this, in my opinion, a foolish (and probably ultimately doomed) proposition, but it is possible that it might even represent a clear and present danger to those of us who have prepped more responsibly. We are all aware that the veneer of polite society is all-too-easily torn away in times of crisis and that is why the reactionary behavior of these folks makes me very nervous.
How long would it take in a really bad scenario before hunger turned these sheep into wolves?

Saw your comment on this subject at the WV preppers network. Very wise decision on the purchase of the insurance policy or lead slinger. If you have no way to fend of the unwanted your SOL if anyone trys to take what you have worked hard to put back for your family. nitewalker comes up with some real good post that make you use your brain.As he said in his post you need to be well rounded in your preps, not dumping money all in one area of the bigger picture.

I am delighted you want to check out my personal website, however

I look forward to working with you.
It's funny how things turn out. Trained as an illustrator, Alexandra Ball drifted further and further from her vocation and ended up as a lender in a building society. The credit crunch of 2008 foreclosed on that avenue, so she launched herself as a professional illustrator. Now her curvy and colourful line drawings adorn many a children's book and the world seems better for it.
Alexandra completed an art foundation course at the University of Portsmouth in 1998, and then an illustration degree at Falmouth College of Arts.
Alexandra loves line drawings, spending the early stages of a project working on fluid, hand-sketched compositions. These are scanned into the computer for colouring, and textures are added to give the overall feel of a collage.
Looking at her illustrations, you can tell Alexandra's style is influenced by nature and the four seasons. Indeed, much of her inspiration comes when she takes Bee, her Springer Spaniel, out for a walk. Though she uses computers, here images are full of hand-drawn warmth and sensitivity. The animal characters in the worlds she creates have innocent and caring personalities – perfect for illustrated storybooks.

Yeah, this is something we all knew, but thought it worth posting. I know that the forum rules say this topic is off-limits when the skater hasn't said anything, but Weir has decided to come out in his book and to PEOPLE Magazine, so hopefully it's OK to post this.
Just a small excerpt. Rest here:Johnny Weir has a memoir coming out soon called Welcome to My World and savvy marketing chap that he is, he's promoting it by leaking/selling excerpts to People magazine. The big news (or non-news) is that Weir finally, explicitly comes out as gay: "With people killing themselves and being scared into the closet, I hope that even just one person can gain strength from my story."
In the People article, Weir talks about his childhood when he was often mistaken for a little girl. Also, his often being called a "homo" or "******" by middle school students. He also mentions a clandestine affair he had with another male skater he refers to only as "Alex."
Anyone have the January 17th edition of PEOPLE? Anything interesting in the Weir article?

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'TiVo Series3 HDTV DVRs' started by CraigK, Mar 17, 2010.
Ditto. My S3 is fine, 1xff aside. I'm not looking forward to an update to possibly mess things up.
I just mean a GUI that can accommodate a 16:9 screen more than the current one, where the fonts can be a bit smaller. And so long as you can choose new or classic, it would be nice.
I dunno why, but the ads never bother me. If TiVo is making some money, more power to 'em.
Agree... all Im looking for is a few bug fixes. From a features/function perspective, its fine just the way it is....
WooHoo... My THD downstairs got the new SW... Watched it for a while and so far no SDV pixelations....
Don't have it yet, did a few tried. About how long does it usually take before everyone starts getting it?
TiVo has already posted in another thread that everybody should have it by the end of the month.
What changed?
In previous releases (which were now quite a long time ago) everyone would be able to get it pretty much exactly 2 weeks after the initial test version rolls out like this. Now who says that is still Tivo's MO? It probably is but we'll find out.
My fingers are crossed that it makes the analog tuners more resistant to the errors that cause them to mess up. That way RoyK can stop his whining.
I missed that. Which thread??
This answers my rhetorical question. One of my THD boxes rebooted the other night and it had me worried since I had recently upgraded the hard drive. Looks like it got 11f so that explains that
From the 11.0f.N1-01-2-652 update faq:
Just kiddin.. I don't have analog so I cannot tell u if it is finally fixed. After living with that problem for awhile before going digital, I wish you grey screen guys luck.
"This answers my rhetorical question."
What?? Rhetorical questions don't need answers.
They do if I'm the one whom I'm asking
This post
Cool, thanks.
Got it on one of my 2 S3's. No change or problems so far.
Nothing but silence for three days now (?) The suspense is killing me! ( I don't have 11.0f yet.)
Don't expect it until 3/31, and it seems don't expect to see much difference otherwise we would be seeing a bunch of chatter.
Yeah, that would be true. the only talk I have heard about f so far is that it contains a mrv bug fix.
You would expect to see 11.1 for the version number if any changes were made / features added.
The SDV pixelation problem that SCSIRAID said might be fixed (in **this post**) is a big deal to those of us who experience it. I'm hoping he will confirm the fix is real.

What a difference a decade makes. No more than 10 years ago, the traditional knowledge worker had limited options when it came to simple document collaboration and file sharing outside of the office. Now with the consumerization of IT creating a workforce that is more mobile than ever, the idea of being tied to your desk is archaic.
Workers expect to have flexibility in the way they work, and this means being able to seamlessly move files between a desktop PC and a mobile device while on the move. In fact, it's become more than a mere expectation. For today's increasingly agile workforce, mobile file sharing and document collaboration is a major requirement.
With BYOD, Comes BYOA
This shift has caused Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to emerge as something of a staple in many enterprise environments, with recent research from Workshare revealing that 62 percent of employees are already using their personal devices in the workplace — be it a phone, tablet, or laptop. The benefits of BYOD are widely recognized, primarily for its productivity gains. Not only has it paved the way for greater overall efficiency, but it has created a truly engaged workforce — one that leverages instant communication and collaboration.
BYOD isn't just about the device itself, either — there are all of the mobile applications that come with it. Moving away from corporate-owned devices means users can download the productivity and file sharing applications they know and love. These apps — like Dropbox– tend to be the ones that users have primarily enjoyed using in their personal lives and have brought with them into the enterprise.
The emergence of BYOD and BYOA (Bring Your Own Applications) has evolved enterprises' approaches to document collaboration today. More and more, workers are moving away from traditional means of file sharing (like email) to more modern, cloud-based file sharing applications — in fact, 69 percent of employees are bypassing corporate policies and opting for free file sharing services to circulate corporate documents. This trend is most common within highly regulated industries, which incidentally, are those with the most stringent document security requirements. The highest usage of unauthorized, consumer applications were found to be among the professional services (88%), followed by financial services (78%), and then legal (78%).
Employees vs. IT: The Showdown
While the use of personal devices and consumer-grade file sharing apps have obvious benefits for the user, they have created significant difficulties for another key enterprise stakeholder: the IT department. It's one of the most notorious enterprise rivalries today — employees are pushing for the free and easy-to-use file sharing applications they're accustomed to, and IT is fighting for rigorous policies that keep information secure and help them maintain complete control.
And it's not just IT that's concerned with establishing responsibility around technologies in the workplace. More and more, IT decision-making is being expanded to line of business executives, with 7.2 percent of total U.S. spending on new technologies next year expected to be executed by business units without CIO involvement. Gartner predicted that by 2017, CMOs in particular will be spending more on IT than the CIOs.
For the IT department and C-level executives, it's a worthwhile battle against the employees that they have every reason to fight. When corporate documents are downloaded onto personal devices via consumer platforms, businesses lose visibility into what happens to that document. It could be forwarded to other parties, or edited without approval. And if the device is lost, then there's no telling who could be looking at your financial statements, legal documents, or patient records, for instance.
Building Blocks of BYOD
In the head-to-head battle, employees are the ones pulling ahead. While 81 percent of users access and share work documents from their mobile devices, a disturbing 72 percent are doing so without IT authorization, going outside the corporate firewall and seeking free — albeit unsecure — file sharing apps. This means that the IT department is being kept in the dark about the vast majority of BYOA users within their organization, leaving the employees — and their corporate documents — open to compromise.
To address these concerns around mobile file sharing, IT needs to start offering a better solution – and fast. Perhaps the most important application element is IT control over files shared via email and webmail on mobile devices, to prevent employees from inadvertently sharing sensitive or hidden data. Administrators should be able to set data governance policies for various factors, like document types, particular individuals, or even for specific words (like "confidential") appearing within a document.
At the same time, IT must remember that these solutions must cater to the very people that use them and way they like to work. Professionals are used to working off an intuitive interface with the simple and easy-to-use feel of popular consumer apps. The appeal of features like drag-and-drop folders for automatic syncing across devices, or social elements like real-time updates and presence indicators shouldn't be overlooked. This is the key to maintaining transparency between users and IT: giving employees an easy-to-use feel, while maintaining IT's full control.
Keeping the Peace
In one corner, stands the user — in the other, IT. But the battle can't last forever and ultimately both parties serve as key working parts of a wider organization, sharing common end goals. In order for the business to succeed, these stakeholders must be tuned into each other's best interests, and strike a balance between users' desire for ease-of-use, and IT's requirement for security.
With reputational risk at stake, there is ultimately greater responsibility on IT to achieve this balance. It's up to them to stay up to date with mobility trends and proactively introduce file sharing applications that benefit users and companies alike. This is not to say that IT should ban personal apps outright — there is a reason why people love to use them, and IT can gain a lot of value from studying them. But allowing consumer applications in an enterprise setting should be temporary — once IT understands what features employees love about consumer applications, they should then look to replicate those in applications that are enterprise-grade.
It's the ultimate peace offering: equipping the organization with simple applications that suit the way people like to work, so users no longer feel compelled to circumvent IT and use their own personal solutions.
Barrie Hadfield is the CTO of Workshare.

Here in Maine brutal levels of unemployment continue even as the Republicans now running the state prepare to dismantle government assistance programs for the poor. In this environment it was good to see Senator Susan Collins offer bold words about the government's obligations to the poorest citizens. Last week, brandishing a white potato like a hard little snowball she might hurl at Agricultural Secretary Tom Vilsack, she called his department to task for discriminating against her favorite "vegetable" in food subsidies for impoverished children. "What," she asked, "do you have against the potato?"
Some background: if you are young (under six) and poor, the government (through a program called Women, Infants and Children, or WIC) will spend $39 a month so you don't starve. WIC vouchers can be used for staples like milk, eggs, cheese, and juice. After finally completing a rule-making process dating back to 2006, the Ag Department has now set aside $6 of that $39 for fresh fruits and vegetables. The white potato, Collins noted with annoyance, is the only vegetable not on the approved list.
The Collins-Vilsack debate illuminates competing ideas about the role of government, and offers a fresh perspective on what Collins referred to repeatedly as the "fresh white potato" (like something you might pluck off a tree and bite into). I canvassed local restaurants in search of the Maine potato, so that I might eat this nutritional marvel while pondering the senator's ideas. Local 188 was serving them in several preparations. Even better, they make a Collins cocktail with Cold River Gin — made from Maine potatoes. After drinking a few of these the senator's ideas started to make a lot of sense.
Vilsack claims the government shouldn't subsidize potatoes for poor children because poor people already eat potatoes without the government's encouragement. So?! Bankers already get rich — should the government stop finding ways to make them richer? Of course not. So why shouldn't the government encourage poor people to play their role more perfectly as well? Collins's view of government is like Plato's: don't promote equality, but rather help citizens embody the class into which they are born. Pushing this idea further, Collins romanticized child labor, wistfully recalling her first job digging potatoes "during school recess when I was very very young." Collins's hint that poor children should work for their vegetables like in the good old days seemed lost on Vilsack.
Taking a more practical approach Collins pointed out that a white potato has twice as much vitamin C as a head of iceberg lettuce. I did not know that. Comparisons to oranges were apparently unavailable. Still that statistic was reassuring during cold season, as we dug into a potato tortilla made with yam and fig. The great virtue of the potato, much like the virtue of a Maine senator, is its bland-neutrality. It provided a dignified base, which prevented the palate from being overwhelmed by the sweeter ingredients. In the gin the potato had happily receded into flavorlessness, allowing hints of juniper and fresh citrus to animate the drink. The gnocchi transfigured potato into soft little clouds coated in a rich vodka sauce. In their very lightness, however, these dumplings become transcendent only by overcoming their potato-ness.

Bristol Sessions recording contract winner is a local
BIG STONE GAP, Va. - When it was announced back in June that a re-creation of the original Bristol Sessions would be recorded, there was a stellar line up of performers: Dolly Parton, Marty Stuart, Emmmylou Harris, Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers, plus many more.
It was also announced that there would be a spot for a local performer on the recordings as well. All that was needed was to submit some songs on Facebook and a group of professional singer-song writers would make their choice.
We were there when the Birthplace of Country Music surprised the winner who is one of the teachers at the Mountain Music School at Mountain Empire Community College.
The mid-day music concert at the Mountain Music School was interrupted Thursday for a very special announcement. Leah Ross with the Birthplace of Country Music took the stage to announce that the school's beginning banjo teacher would appear on the new recording, Orthoponic Joy, the 1927 Bristol Sessions Revisited.
This came after a national search, and the winner is Corbin Hayslett, a senior at the University of Virginia's College at Wise.
Ross couldn't be prouder. "We've seen Corbin sort of grow up with our festival because he's been playing in it for a few years. To see how he's matured and his talent, and to be rewarded with something like that means a lot to us," she said.
"I got my first banjo Christmas of 2003, I was nine years old and I kind of messed around a little bit on it. I remember Christmas Day, one of our neighbors came over and he played Bluegrass banjo and kind of showed me the beginning of "Cripple Creek." That was the first thing I could play," Hayslett says.
Corbin has come a long way since then, and that sense of sharing the music with others stuck with him because others had taken an interest in teaching him. "Teaching this kind of music really is a beautiful thing. It's really community central and community-based music and to share it you get to further it."

Martin Gruebele, the James R. Eiszner Professor of Chemistry at the U. of I. and corresponding author of the paper, says that prodding proteins to fold by suddenly removing high pressure (a technique also known as "pressure jumping") through electrical bursting makes for a "kinder, gentler way" of inducing proteins to fold.
"When you're increasing the pressure on something, you're squeezing the atoms and making them come closer to one another," Gruebele said, "but you're not necessarily causing the very complicated changes to the microscopic motion that occur when you change the temperature. Pressure is a simpler variable than temperature."
In order to carry out their biomolecular functions, proteins fold from a chaotic, random coil that looks like spaghetti strands floating in boiling water to their native state as an orderly, well-defined but compact structure.
From the point-of-view of the protein, Gruebele said, pressurizing it to about 2,500 atmospheres is much less disruptive than, say, cranking up the temperature by 30 degrees.
"Temperature is a pretty complicated variable in that it involves random motion at a microscopic level," Gruebele said. "When you perturb a protein by raising its temperature, its chains completely unravel, and it might take longer for it to collapse back down to the folded structure."
To induce protein folding, a sample contained in a sapphire cube covered by a small steel diaphragm is pressurized to several thousand atmospheres, causing the biomolecules to unfold. A powerful electrical current then bursts the diaphragm, which releases the pressure and produces a sub-microsecond pressure drop. The proteins re-fold, and are monitored through laser-excited fluorescence.
Gruebele's electrical-bursting method also allowed for a miniaturization of the apparatus, which improved the speed and sample volume of the diaphragm design. That, in turn, allows for a better comparison between how proteins fold in vitro in the lab versus how a computer algorithm would predict how they would fold.
After the pressure is applied, the proteins were able to re-fold or "spring back" to their native-state structures "much more readily than if we had heated them and cooled them down," Gruebele said.
Applying pressure to induce protein folding is not a novel laboratory technique. According to Gruebele, previous methods using electrically controlled valves, piezoelectric constriction and burst diaphragms weren't fast enough or didn't produce enough pressure to generate viable data on the microsecond timescale.
To reach the realm of simulation-worthy data, "you need hundreds of nanoseconds to a few microseconds worth of data-capture time," Gruebele said. With the previous methods, "we weren't close to the timeframe where you could perform computer simulations, right now or in the near future."
Ultimately, being able to feed experiment-generated data into a computer simulation will lead to better computer forecasts about how proteins fold, Gruebele said.
"By putting experiments and computer simulations together, we're going to be able to predict how proteins fold much more quickly and reliably," he said.
Gruebele, who is also a researcher at the Beckman Institute, believes that scientists will eventually be able to perform computer simulations of protein folding that are accurate enough predictors of folding so that "if you had a protein involved in a disease and its structure wasn't known, you could go to the computer and model how it behaves."
For example, when certain proteins in the brain mutate, that can lead to Alzheimer's disease, Gruebele said.
"The structures of proteins are ultimately what's responsible for their function," he said. "Changes to their structure often cause abnormal functions. That's why we want to understand protein structures, and be able to model how they change."
Gruebele said that computer simulations already yield a pretty accurate picture of a given small organic molecule. But with this new method that breaks the microsecond barrier, "we've just opened up a whole new world of proteins for study," he said.
"There are only a handful of proteins that we know about that would fold by temperature jumps or other methods in a couple of microseconds," Gruebele said. "But there are many proteins that do it in hundreds of microseconds, and that could be sped up to a few microseconds by pressure jumps."
Gruebele said that if you want to improve computer simulations of protein folding so that they're 99.9 percent reliable – so reliable that a medical doctor could trust the results – you need many test cases. And if you need lots of test cases, you need to be able to run computer simulations quickly, Gruebele said.
"This experiment enables a greater number of proteins to be tested by simulations and experiments simultaneously, which will push forward the agenda of getting computer simulations that are more reliable and faster," Gruebele said.
Gruebele's co-authors of the paper are Charles Dumont and Tryggvi Emilsson.

America's recycling in 2012 — more recycling in Cass County
Since 1997, Americans across the country have marked Nov. 15 as a day dedicated to recycling. Some people recycle to save money on garbage disposal costs, others because it is "the right thing to do" while others just know it as a part of life; breathe in, breathe out, recycle. No matter what the motivation, you are joining with millions of Americans to save money, save resources, reduce waste and reuse materials.
This past spring, recycling plastics in Cass County became easier than ever. Now you can put all of your household plastic containers, bottles, tubs, and lids, No. 1 thru 7, into the county recycling bins. This means that margarine tubs, syrup bottles, ice cream pails, yogurt cups, and those plastic "clam shells" that hold deli and bakery goods can join milk jugs and the pop, water and laundry bottles in the recycling bins.
Of course, there are always exceptions, still a few plastics that cannot go in the recycling, these include; plastic bags and films (Saran wrap), plastic cups and utensils, motor oil, and pesticide containers and all forms of Styrofoam.
Cass County is able to accept many more plastics than in past years since the materials collected in those brown or white recycling bins now are taken to a company named, Recycle America, located in Minneapolis. This company recently expanded their facility infrastructure to allow single stream recycling, where many different recyclable materials can be sorted through the combined efforts of magnets, disk screens, tumblers, and advanced optical sorters which can identify different types of plastic resins.
Not only is this good for recycling, but it might help alleviate a major source of domestic contention regarding just exactly what can go into the recycling bins and what cannot. It might even help reduce eyestrain caused by trying to find the tiny little number in the tiny little triangle on the bottom of the shampoo bottle.
Cass County also recycles one of the fastest growing waste streams in the country, "E-Waste", which is the solid waste category name for your "dead " TVs , cell phones, computers and computer –related electronics.
Cass County residents may bring their "E-Waste" at no charge to any of the three county operated transfer sites. These include; the Main Transfer Station located two miles north of Pine River on State Hwy. 371, the Walker-Hackensack Transfer Site located two and a half miles north of Hackensack, and the May Township Transfer Site located north of Pillager at the county highway garage on County Hwy. 34.
E-waste may also be taken to Slagle's transfer site near Longville for a fee and to the Leech Lake Transfer Station at Cass Lake at no cost to tribal members.
Celebrate America Recycles Day on Nov. 15 and all yearlong as you do your part to recycle your glass, plastic and metal containers, your paper and cardboard and those unusable or unwanted TVs, Computers and other electronics.
• Did you know that every year we produce enough plastic film in this country to shrink-wrap Texas? Or that Americans discard 38 billion plastic water bottles every year? While plastic offers the advantages of being flexible and lightweight, it also consumes fossil resources for its manufacture and contributes waste in our environment.
• Glass is endlessly recyclable, and most glass bottles and jars produced in the United States now contain at least 25 percent recycled glass – which also requires 75 percent less energy to produce than glass made from new materials.
• Does that plastic lunch container still have yesterday's pizza in it? Don't recycle it until it's clean!
• One dirty product, or one with food waste still in it, can contaminate an entire bale, containing hundreds of pounds of collected plastics.
• This can cause thousands of recyclable items to go to a landfill instead of being recycled.
• Cleanliness is essential.

PNC Investments deceptively sold me a Unit Investemtn trust with guaranteed 5% return but it was not. Linwood New Jersey
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was refered to PNC investments by PNC bank for investment advice on a large sum of money. I did not want the risk of the stock market and wanted reasonable interest 4-5% with low risk. They sold me a Unit investment trust that was supposed to give me a 5% tax free return. The trust ended up being no different that a volatile stock which dropped in value by 20% in a matter of months. They were not honest with their 5% guarentee on my money. Somehow the bankers have there definition of what a 5% return means. Despite all this money loss , PNC Investemnt gladly accepted their 5% commision. I would not recommend PNC Investments for your hard earned money. Next time I will try (((competitor's name redacted))).

DoDEA OSS: Pandemic Information
In the event of a pandemic there are actions we can take to help stop the spread of the virus. Supervisors, school administrators and school nurses should:
- 1. be watchful for flu-like symptoms;
- 2. review local pandemic influenza response plans;
- 3. update all emergency phone numbers and POCs; and
- 4. coordinate with the host military command and military medical authorities.
Those with flu-like symptoms should stay home from work, school and social gatherings. This can help prevent the spread of infection. Current recommendations are to maintain a distance of 6 feet between yourself and a person displaying symptoms of flu. Consult your health care provider if flu-like symptoms develop, especially for those personnel at a higher risk for complications of the flu.
All DoDEA staff and students are strongly encouraged to participate in the "Clean Hands" and "Cover Your Cough" campaign established by the CDC. This program is a preventive measure to help prevent the spread of the virus. Posters are available that can be printed for distribution around the work area and your schools. (See links below).
The CDC and the WHO take the lead in monitoring and advising the community on pandemics. Current information can be found on their websites at: www.cdc.gov/swineflu/general_info.htm and www.who.int/en/
An influenza pandemic is a global outbreak of disease that occurs when a new influenza A virus appears or "emerges" in the human population, causes serious illness, and then spreads easily from person to person worldwide. Pandemics are different from seasonal outbreaks or "epidemics" of influenza. Seasonal outbreaks are caused by subtypes of influenza viruses that already circulate among people, whereas pandemic outbreaks are caused by new subtypes, by subtypes that have never circulated among people, or by subtypes that have not circulated among people for a long time. Past influenza pandemics have led to high levels of illness, death, social disruption, and economic loss.
An influenza pandemic has the potential to cause more death and illness than any other public health threat. If a pandemic influenza virus with similar virulence to the 1918 strain emerged today, in the absence of intervention, it is estimated that 1.9 million Americans could die and almost 10 million could be hospitalized over the course of the pandemic, which may evolve over a year or more.
- Pandemic Flu: An influenza pandemic is a global outbreak of disease that occurs when three conditions are met: a new influenza A virus appears or "emerges" in the human population, it causes serious illness in people, and it spreads easily from person to person worldwide.
- Swine Flu: Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness and low death rates in pigs. Swine influenza viruses may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans. The classical swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930.
- Seasonal Flu: Seasonal influenza (often called "the flu") is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses and occurs every year. It can cause mild to severe illness. The best protection against seasonal flu is vaccination.
In the century past, we have experienced influenza pandemics three times: as recently as 1968 and 1957 and what has been called the Great Influenza in 1918, a pandemic that killed 40-50 million people worldwide. Although the timing, nature and severity of the next pandemic cannot be predicted with any certainty, preparedness planning is imperative to lessen the impact of a pandemic.
- Swine Flu
This guidance recommends that students and staff with influenza-like illness remain home until 24 hours after resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications. They should stay home even if they are using antiviral drugs.
- Avian Flu
Bird flu is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them.

Date of Stay: August, 2011
If you want a particular site make sure you get it in writing. The office staff is new to accommodating RV'ers and it appears that a good "working" plan is still being developed (how to keep up with who is coming/going-where/when and what site numbers). This is a nice, established, mobile home park close to I-40 and conveniently located. There are plenty of spaces, and large sites. Maybe more suitable for the longer stays.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
This State park features nice shaded sites. It is not very good for big rigs because of tight narrow roads. No sewage, and poor phone/internet connectivity in this area. It is very quiet, with great outdoor walking trails.It is not really convenient for an overnight from interstate 24 but it worked out due to pull through sites. The sites arey are not very level.

PM Abe should apologize for Japan's World War II atrocities
The China Post news staff Thursday, February 20, 2014, 12:20 am TWN
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has a revisionist view of Japan's atrocities during the Second World War, refuses to characterize Japan invading China and other Asian countries as "aggression," asserting that the definition of aggression has yet to be established in academia or in the international community. Except for most Japanese academics, the global academia as well as practically all members of the international community agree that Japan was the aggressor in the Mukden Incident that gave birth to its puppet regime of Manchukuo and in its invasion of China by causing the Marco Polo Bridge Incident of 1937, but Abe does not want to admit the Land of the Rising Sun fought a war of aggression.
One atrocity was forcing women in Taiwan, South Korea and China to serve as "comfort women," or sex slaves, for Japanese troops. Abe hasn't offered the apologies he promised in a statement before the Japanese Diet in 1995.
Well, Tomiichi Murayama, a former prime minister, called on Abe to do so during a visit to Seoul on Feb. 11. While meeting some of the surviving Korean comfort women in Seoul, Murayama urged Abe to live up to his 1995 statement. Abe promised in that statement to inherit the Murayama Statement, together with a similar statement issued in 1993 by then-Chief Cabinet Secretary Yohei Kono, in which Japan offered sincere apologies for the Japanese wartime atrocities, including the Rape of Nanking and the draft of comfort women. Abe was also urged to make sure that his cabinet members and other high-ranking officials do not make nonsensical remarks that whitewash Japan's wartime atrocities and deviate from the two official apologies. Such comments only anger Taiwan, China, South Korea and the other Asian countries the Japanese Imperial Army invaded.
These Japanese leaders were born after World War II. They do not know what it was like during what Japan calls the Great East Asian War, which began with its sneak attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 8, 1941. They did not sing "I Love Soldiers" while they were kids and do not know what the Japanese soldiers did in the lands they occupied. Neither did they experience the war that was a catastrophe and tragedy for those people conquered as well as for the Japanese themselves.

I think it all depends on how expensive and complicated the machine is. Good care and maintenance preserves them and make them perform good.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I think it all depends on how expensive and complicated the machine is. Good care and maintenance preserves them and make them perform good.
I don't think that is ridiculous. A lot of people really don't know how to care for their machines and do a good cleaning.
Years ago had a Bernina Club session on this and found out that a lot of people really didn't know how to clean out well, and where to oil (in bobbin area only on most).
oops...double post...sorry!
that is a great price. but it probably just includes what one would find in an owners manual.

And some ... Learn to do by doing!!
(OK 4-H'ers, this is where you jump in!!)
This could be a very valuable class, even to experienced sewers. Many are intimidated by the mechanical side of sewing!!!
My concern would be, how much does the instructor know about "all" machines that may turn up. And would I get valuable knowledge in this regard. Even if they sell machines, their knowledge may be limited to a particular brand and there are differences, from one brand to the other!
This class offering might instigate me to seek out my local dealer, and ask for a one-on-one, for a fee or for free.
There are lots of people that are new to sewing and sewing machines. They may not know the value of cleaning out the thread bunnies in their machine, oiling it if necessary, changing needles on a regular basis, not just when they break or had their machines long enough to be able to tell something is not quite right just by the sound of the machine. I would definitely be willing to get more information at this price if I did not know anything about machines.
I would take it.
I have a very beginning machine and I am unsure how to clean it. I have brushed it out and oiled where I think it should go, but who knows.
I also have a 1903 treadle, that I took apart and forgot how to put back together. EEK!
Needless to say, someone to help take the guess work out of these things would make my sewing time more enjoyable.
What's ridiculous about it?Originally Posted by ChaiQuilter
I think it sounds like a good idea! Most of the 3 hour classes offered at the LQS I go to are $10 so the price seems fair enough. It could be that they have noticed people need some basic knowledge and this is their way of providing some assistance in that area.

In our last episode, Bert showed us how to make an open book illustration in Photoshop. This week he finishes the illustration by adding the pages and a cover.
He begins by creating a new layer and draws a large rectangle over the center of the image. He fills the rectangle with white, adds noise, applies a motion blur, and then increases the contrast. The resulting pattern looks like a side view of the pages of a book. His next step is to go back to the illustration and draw in the left side of the book with his pen tool. He fills this path with black and adds it to a new layer called "side body". He duplicates the pattern and clips it inside the layer. To get the pattern to line up correctly with the book, he rotates it into position and then tightens it until it has the right look.
Next, he goes into the pattern layer, rotates it horizontally, and then closes it for later. He then uses the pen tool again to draw the shape of the pages on the bottom of the book. This becomes the "left front" layer and it too gets filled with black and the now horizontal pattern clipped in. To make the page pattern feel part of the curve of the open spread, he uses the warp tool to bend it. He follows by repeating the same process of creating the pages for the right side of the book. The last step is to create the cover. As with the pages he draws out the path, fills it with brown and creates a new layer called "Cover". A final bevel and emboss on the cover adds dimension and a drop shadow to the whole book grounds it on the background.
Watch this week's video to get started on your design, and be sure to check back next week where he'll create a logo with a radiant background.
