We know the Grammys are over, but I just found this great interview with Lindsey Parker and had to post it for you! It was done at the Grammy Media Summit, on February 11, 2011 at LA LIVE.
They talk a lot about the Grammys, and how Adam wanted to go solo to the event. She also asks if Adam wrote his speech and planned his Grammy outfit when he was a boy!
There's some great talk about the For Your Entertainment album. This interview was the first time I heard Adam address the comments from the fans when the CD was first released (almost 16 months ago!) about the vocals being "a little buried or overprocessed." He even criticizes this, but gives the reason for this. He talks in more depth about the direction for the new album. He's moving more in the Whattaya Want From Me? direction, letting us know it's because it's the one "everybody loves!" It's the Grammy-nominated song, the hit single, and ultimately the best sound for him.
There's a lot more to enjoy, so have a good listen! Thanks to devenlane for posting this to youtube.
Love ya!

Get Your Red Pen To Help You
With an extravagant flourish, you summon your red pen, and it comes- zap!- into your hand, as if you are the magnetic and it is your metal object.
As you stand, pen out, in your friend's back-garden, thinking of ways to get inside, you hear noises from around the other outside of the building, heading your way. However, instead of panicking, you feel safe with your trusting writing instrument.
You have your red pen in hand and so you...

Location description from owner
The Turkish Mediterranean Coast region
Welcome to Villa Lapaz Breeze - Kalkan Expeirence Property. Our villa is in seventy-year-heritage vineyeards, where you can find peace and quiet within its restful and calm environment, Stunning views across to Patara Beach and surrounding mountains. We are just opposite the line where the Mediterranean meets the Aegean Sea.
The world's second longest beach ( Patara) is in view from the Villa. We are close to the Ancient Roman Lycian cities. The Ancient Lycian's way is passing from our second garden which is 150 meters close to our villa. Kalkan and Patara are 10 minutes, Kaputas Beach is 12 minutes, Saklikent Canyon is 15 minutes away by the car. You will be just far away from the hot holiday resort of Kalkan. Here in Uzumlu humidity is lower as we are 400 meters higher in a green environment.
You can enjoy the welcoming gardens designed in an unusual and querky way. All furniture in the villa is new and of high quality. It is furnished for the comfort of ten people. You will never forget the peace you can have on the terrace on a beautiful summers night, especially with the starlit night.
The Turquoise Coast / Lycia region
Turkey's mediterranean shore, called the Turquoise Coast, is nearly 1600 km ( 994 miles ) long, scattered with sand beaches and sprinkled abundantly with classical cities turned to picturesque ruins.
It has more and better beaches and resorts than does the Aegean coast and warmer,saltier water than the black sea coast.
The Taurus ( Toros ) mountains form a dramatic backdrop along much of the coast, often dropping steeply right into the sea but in some places rivers have washed down enough sediment over the ages to form beaches backed by fertile alluvial plains good for growing cotton, vegetables and even tropical fruits like bananas.
Kalkan is an elegant harbour town set in the heart of the old Lycian region. It is relatively cosmopolitan with wonderful restaurants and great places to stay. The Taurus mountains provide a stunning backdrop whilst the views across the bay are remarkable.
This beautiful and sophisticated bougainvillea covered harbour town is set in a breathtaking landscape in the heart of the Turquoise coast.
Tourism is still relatively new in Kalkan with the first visitors being yachtsmen who discovered the delights of the harbor and the town in the late 1980's.
Strict conservation laws have ensured that the heart of the old village retains and authentic ambience that attracts ( according to the Sunday Times ) the sort of visitor who might also be enchanted by say Tuscany or the Dordogne. The result is a discerning mix of predominantly British guests tegother with Istanbul Turks attracted by Kalkan's reputation within Turkey.
Winding cobbled streets, colourful shops and excellent harbour side or roof terrace restaurants and bars are combined with stunning views whether you are looking up to the dramatic Toros mountains behind the town or down across the harbour to the broad sweep of the mediterranean, Kalkan Experience Property

"Séjour parfait"
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette maison avec nos trois enfants. La maison est située à la campagne dans le village de Uzümlü, très calme et bien placé pour visiter toute la région. On y trouve une supérette pour le pain et quelques produits de première nécessité, pour les grosses courses, nous sommes allés à Kalkan. La maison est très bien équipée, très propre, les chambres sont spacieuses et la terrasse sur le toit offre une vue magnifique sur la côte et la plage de Patara ! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la piscine et le jardin autour à l'abri des regards. La présence discrète du propriétaire, Metin, et de sa femme, qui habitent dans le village et leurs gentilles attentions nous ont donné l'impression de séjourner chez des amis. Nous recommandons vivement cette maison à ceux qui apprécient de retrouver un lieu calme après les visites de la journée.

Quote:I think you misread me a little. The whole point of that post was just that I see it as counter-productive to try and convince someone your strong beliefs w/o proof are more correct than their strong beliefs w/o proof. It's just as bad as a religious or political argument. The chances of one side swaying the other with their argument is next to nothing.And now I may be misreading you, but it seems that you thought I said chi was silly. I didn't. I merely said arguing about it's existance was silly. That also means I didn't say researching it or studying it was silly. Just the argument.

Whitney Houston's Sister-In-Law Pat Houston Hospitalized After Suicide Scare
Pat Houston manager and sister-in-law to the late Whitney Houston had a suicide scare Tuesday. According to TMZ, she was moments from taking her own life.
Cops and paramedics rushed to Pat's home in Alpharetta, GA after receiving calls from people close to her who thought Pat had tried to commit suicide. Allegedly, she was found passed out on her bed next to a pill bottle.
The Facebook message that stirred up the entire hullabaloo:
"Sometimes you just feel like giving up on life and its many challenges. And for the first time in my life…I'm tired…and I want to finally rest. I love you guys."
According to sources, when Pat woke up, she explained to the cops that she took medicine because she was having back pain. Her phone was turned off before she fell asleep. She went on to explain that she was never suicidal and that the Facebook posting was just because she was stressed.
Fortunate enough her family and friends reacted quickly, without second-guessing! Its good to hear Pat is doing ok.

Editors' pick: Originally published Nov. 17.
NBC's telecast of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a rolling commercial hosted by the Today show crew... and sponsors know it.
There is no other non-sports show on television that's able to draw the audience that this parade provides, and it's basically a pep rally for Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping. Before it was cool for stores to open their doors and host "Black Friday" sales on Thanksgiving itself, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade spent the better part of the last century using Thanksgiving to get Americans all riled up Christmas shopping. Of the 30 most-watched television broadcasts of fall 2015, only two of them didn't involve a National Football League game: the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and its 22.3 million viewers and a Republican presidential debate. In fact, the parade drew a larger audience than 35% of NFL games aired last season.
With NFL ratings slumping of late, the parade is one of the few times advertisers are guaranteed an viewing audience of this size.
Though the the Detroit and Philadelphia Thanksgiving parades are far older, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is the breadwinner. The dulcet tones of Today show hosts Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Matt Lauer whisper ad copy into your living room as each floating billboard passes, while the actual commercial breaks fills the air with promises of crescent rolls and the touch, the feel of cotton. If you're lucky enough to be there in person, hordes of marketing interns will be on hand to fill your frostbitten hands with swag.
There are other, less outwardly commercial viewing options available, but they just seem a bit hollow. Though NBC partners with Macy's and has official broadcast rights, CBS takes advantage of the public venue (and its studio near Times Square) to broadcast The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS seemingly as punishment for employees who'd rather have the day off.
Granted, it's those sponsors that bring you performances by The Muppets, Aloe Blacc, Regina Spektor, De La Soul, Fitz and The Tantrums and Sarah McLachlan, but they do so on floats dedicated to their products and beneath balloons shapes like their mascots and other intellectual property. It's the companies' street party, and you're just invited to watch. While it goes without saying that Macy's will be on hand for the festivities, here are 20 companies dragging Santa Claus down from his cozy Upper West Side digs near the Museum of Natural History to Herald Square:

- Ngata's effectiveness, being out on an NFL field for the 1st time
- Whether or not McNair can continue some of what he started on Friday
- The effectiveness of our DT depth (which was very solid last game)
- How fast we get after the QB, and how we protect our's
- How our depth at DB seems to be working out
- Whether our quality depth/success at RB will continue
- How DWill seems to be progressing, along with whether or not aligator arms has progressed at all
- And obviously, NO INJURIES!!

Related post: Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2002 02:07:46 +0000 From: Logan Rollins Subject: Harry Potter and the Quidditch CaptainTo all my fans (and to my surprise, there are a few of you) I little teen starlets apologize for the little willie delay, but the holidays and work took up a lot of my time, so I didn't get to work on this as much little vergin as I wanted. Plus, they take little girls ******** some time since I try to make them a little better than the average slash fiction. wet little I'll leave you readers to be the judge at whether or not I succeed. Of course, all character and place names are copyright by Scholastic Books, J.K. fuck littlegirls pictures Rowling, and probably Warner Bros., and are used here without permission, obviously. As always, if you enjoyed the story, let me lola little angel know, and let me know where you want things to go. This story is a direct result of the requests little nudest thumbs of people who read the first story. As usual, if you are offended or shouldn't be reading stories where underage boys have sex, then stop now and go little estate agent do something else. To the rest of you, I hope you enjoy it. Let me know. My email is loganrollinshotmail.com. HARRY POTTER AND THE QUIDDITCH CAPTAIN "Congratulations, Harry, you did it again," Fred Weasley said as he got ready to leave the locker room. The Gryffindor team had just won their latest match against Hufflepuff, Harry again pulling a miracle grab of the Snitch from the girl little nude grasp of the Hufflepuff seeker. The resulting celebration and congratulations had anal little kept Harry on the field, receiving pats on the back until well after the game had ended. The result was to make him the last one into the locker room to shower. "Thanks loads, Fred," Harry said. "You played a great game, too." Fred little hairless girls blushed. "See you in the dorm," he said, waving as he left. Harry slipped littlest incest off his robe, shoes, and underwear, throwing them all into his locker. "Securum," he said, and heard the bolt click on his locker. He didn't really need to lock up his clothes, but he little preeteen nud enjoyed practicing his magic. As he walked toward the showers, his hand little japanese schoolgirl ran lightly over his boy wand as he remembered the wonderful thing Ron had showed him. Almost immediately it stood out teeny little nudes and Harry shivered as his fingers touched the sack beneath. Perhaps he would get a little stick practice while he was showering. Drawing closer littlest pussy photos to the showers, he heard the rush of spraying water and knew someone else was in the shower. Harry looked at little girl slut his little nude russian turgid wand. It wouldn't do at all for someone else to see him like hot little breasts this, foto little boy unless it was Ron, and xxx little boys Ron didn't play Quidditch. Frowning, Harry pointed his finger between his legs and said, "Deflateamus." His tiny boyhood shriveled, turning short and floppy. horny little kids Satisfied, Harry walked into the shower room. And little boys pissing his heart almost stopped. Standing under a downpour or water, his eyes closed, hands running through little porno his brown hair, was Oliver Wood. Harry's breath caught in his throat little sweet porn as he looked at the third year student's body. The Quiddich captain almost never showered down here little incest hardcore and this was the first time Harry had ever seen the older boy imgboard girl little naked. He was almost perfection as near as Harry could see, from his tan skin, sharp nose, and dark brown hair, to his tight stomach and firm legs. little nudism teen little pussi teen Harry's eyes little loita girls fell on Oliver's wand little non nud and he was surprised to see a small little upskirts patch of curly brown hair nestled above it. They hadn't taught anything about this sort of thing at Hogwart's. Embarrassed, Harry thought to turn and leave, but before he little hentai tgp could, Oliver's eyes opened. fuck of littles "Oh, hello Harry," he said, spotting the boy. "Here to take little naked sister a littles insest 14 late shower?" "Y-yes," Harry stammered, porn little free surprised at himself. little cute teen Why was he acting like this? It was every little thing only Oliver, but Harry thought it might be more. It was Oliver in the nude, and Harry found, to his astonishment, that he rather enjoyed dirty little secert seeing the Quidditch captain like this. He feared that his wand might betray him, despite the earlier spell, as even now the area surrounding it tingled. "Well, come little girl ornament on in, I victoriah nichole little don't mind. I littlegirl thumbs usually like to shower by myself, but sometimes I enjoy other company." "Thanks," Harry said, stepping further into little ped the shower. He stopped at the showerhead furthest from the captain and took off his glasses. "Oh, come off it, Harry. If you stand down there, I'll have to yell at you. Come to this one." Oliver pointed at the nozzle next to his. Harry hesitated only a moment before walking down and standing next to Oliver. "That's better," the Quiddich captain said, smiling. Harry smiled back. "Aqua sprayus," he said, and the water turned on, pelting him little puss with little miss porn a warm spray. It felt marvelous after the tough and sweaty game, and for a moment Harry forgot everything as he enjoyed the pounding shower. "You played a great non nude little game today, Harry," Oliver said little childs porno after a minute or so. "Thanks," Harry said, beaming. "You were great yourself." "You're a very cute lad, did you know that?" Harry looked up at the older boy, surprised. He had been called many things by the other boys, but never photos little tits cute. little sister hentai "Thanks." "That's an interesting scar you have little kim nude on your little chica wink, there. I thought it was only on your forehead." "No," Harry said, blushing and pleased that Oliver would look that closely at his body. He felt the stirring and his wand came to half-life. He turned so that his rear faced modls little Oliver and tried to will his wand back down. "Do you know why I usually like to come down here by myself?" "No. Why?" "Because I like to play my little girls ddoggprn own game down here." "What game is that?" Harry asked, but he little lollita fuck thought he already knew, because he looked over his shoulder and saw that Oliver's wand, beneath its furry patch, had begun to grow. In almost no time , it stood straight out, five inches long and as thick as the end of Harry's Nimbus 2000. The pink head throbbed and Harry felt his own wand spring to full stance, hot and hard. Oliver took Harry's shoulder and turned pics little sucker littles ilegal nude him so they little sister incest faced each other. He smiled. "I see you know this nude little girl game, too," little cunts pics he said as he took his wand in hand and began to stroke. "Yeah, Ro...really only recently." Oliver smiled wider. "So little boys bath Ron showed you, did he? I'll bet he learned it from Fred and George. I like this game, but there's little drummer girl another that's even better that you can do when there's two people. Want to try it?" "Sure," Harry said. He trusted Oliver, and if the were even half as pleasant as the one Ron showed him, it would be wonderful. "Okay, step out of the shower spray and close your eyes." Harry did, leaning again the warm tiles. "So, wha-" He stopped as he felt something warm and wet around his wand. He opened little sahara his eyes and found tit little pussy Oliver on his little asian teen knees, his mouth engulfing Harry's little girls xxx magic tool. horny little sister He started to protest, but as the older boy's head began bobbing, his tongue flickering over Harry's shaft, all thoughts of complaint disappeared. Harry laid his head against the shower wall little nudism as Oliver worked his own magic, his mouth playing over Harry's pulsing little angles fucked rod. Ron's game was fun, Harry thought, but this one was exquisite, almost too much to bear. Under Oliver's expert mouth and tongue, Harry didn't last long. After only a minute, arrows of pleasure shot up his spine, straight to his head and back down, as his daddies little whore wand throbbed and nubile little girls jumped, rushing waves of ecstasy hitting him. He moaned as the magic raced through him, a thousand times better than what his own hand could do. His hips bucked, slamming between the shower tiles and Oliver's face. Another moan escaped him as the second wave hit, and he had to grab the older boy's head to keep from falling as his knees became wobbly. The pleasure subsided far too soon, and Oliver pulled away. dirty little secrets "Did you like that?" he asked. Smiling, Harry could only nod. "Great, will you do it for me, then?" "Of course," Harry little nud pics said. "But I may not be as good as you." "You'll get the hang of it. little pantherinfo It's easier than riding little girl games a Quidditch broom." They traded places, Oliver against the wall, Harry on his knees. He looked at Oliver's wand, staring at him with its one eye, so big and imposing. He wasn't sure his mouth would fit around it, but he would give it a try. He wanted so much to return the wonderful feelings to his captain. Putting his hand around the wand's base, he opened his mouth wide and put it over the head. He closed down and felt the spongy hardness of it on his tongue and lips. little angel naked It seemed nice, and little dirty preeteen Harry thought it might nude little people be as good to give this sort of magic as it was to receive it. He started moving back and forth slowly, taking in more and more of the silky, clean tasting wand as he went, until he soon had it hitting the back of his throat. At first little african girl he almost little cuties fotos choked, but he relaxed, much like he did when riding incest little kiddy his Nimbus, and he soon found it easy to take in all of Oliver's wand, right down to the tickly hairs that grew above little nudeboy pics the captain's pole. It was easier than riding a broom. As Harry grew more confident, he began moving faster and little girl bras little girls imgboard faster, applying pressure with his tongue. He felt his own wand grow rigid again as he enjoyed the feeling of the Quidditch captain's rod in his mouth. He moved faster, Oliver's loud grunts attesting to Harry's sweet little tgp success at this new game. Harry felt Oliver's body suddenly stiffen. "Pull off, Harry," Oliver said, his voice husky, and Harry took his mouth away, afraid he had done something wrong. Oliver reached down, wrapping one hand around his wand and putting the other on fisting little girls Harry's head to steady himself. He stroked his rod three times and let out an enormous moan. Harry watched in amazement as Oliver's wand fired a thick stream of white liquid, which struck Harry's chest with a sexo little forceful splat. Mesmerized, Harry saw bolt after bolt of this magic juice naked little children squirt from Oliver's quivering red wand head, each shot punctuated by a deep moan from the older boy. It ran down Harry's chest, some of it dribbling on to his pointing boy baton. After what must have been ten squirts, the flow of magic slowed to a trickle, a thin stream hanging from the end of Oliver's hole. Oliver looked down at Harry with little nicky quotes a great grin. "That was wonderful, Harry. You're a natural, just like your broom riding." "What is this?" Harry asked, rubbing at the goo on his little tiny girl chest. "It's magic Jizz Juice," Oliver answered. "It's what makes babies, and it feels totally outstanding tiny little gallery when it comes out. You'll do it some day, when you're a little older. I had you pull off so it wouldn't scare you, but next time I hope you'll keep your mouth on there and take it. That is, if you want there to be a little april sex next time." "Absolutely," Harry answered. He looked down hot little tits at his own pulsing stick, the pressure to again feel that little preeten girls wonderful release foremost in his mind. "In fact, next time could be right now if you want." "Wicked," another voice suddenly spoke up. Harry and Oliver turned to see a naked, red headed Ron Weasley staring at them, his own boyish wand looking at them when its unwinking eye. "But I want to be a part of it this time." "How long boy porn little have you been standing there?" Harry asked, embarrassed. "Long enough little red porn to know that I want you to that to me," Ron said. "I will if you'll do if for me." Harry said. "This will be fun," Oliver said, "but I've got an idea. Other people might start showing up, since it's getting close to dinnertime. Let's go to a place where I little boys pix know we can all be alone, and I'll show girl little photos you even better games. There's something that's even more fun to ride than a broomstick." "Great," Harry said. "Totally wicked," Ron little loita galleries agreed. "Then get dressed and follow me," Oliver said.TO BE CONTINUED

Braids have been a popular presence on the court since the days of Ms. Pierce, Anna Kournikova, and Venus (No. 36) and Serena (No. 27) Williams (late 1990s-early 2000s). But in the last few years, they have become ubiquitous. Even Ms. Sharapova of Russia (No. 4), famous for her sleek on-court pony, sported a braid at a pre-Wimbledon party earlier this summer.

Griever: Eternal Lion's BladeMature
Griever wandered through the camp. They had recently returned from distributing food and nothing had seemed wrong, but Griever was curious if it had really gone so smoothly. Women tended to hide things they thought was unnecessary to tell others. Well, at least no one seemed missing or hurt.
"How did it go?" Griever asked a passing woman. She ignored him and kept going. Not all women in the Night Hawks liked him yet. He would have to work on that.
Then, a face caught his vision. Following Kiera was Rowan, a soldier for the Marshall and a mass murderer of innocents. Griever wasn't the only one to pause. Others in the camp did the same. Griever wasn't surprised at the newcomer, though. No, surprise was the last feeling he felt. The Night Hawks had just gave him something. An opportunity.
Quickly! Griever's hand found a sword handle on the waist of a girl. Norida was her name. She hadn't the time to stop him, though. No one did. He was a lightning fast Lion in a flock of birds, going after the Hyena. It was weak. It would fall quickly.
The sword in his arm settled to a strike named Lion's Roar, arcing toward's Rowan's foul neck. It was almost there. Almost there! This beast would die.
Hands jerked him to a stop, causing the sword to only nick Rowan's neck. It was then that the man noticed Griever. Their eyes met, recognition sparking from Grievers and the Beasts knew what from the creature before him.
"Let. Me. Go!" Griever whispered to the five people, three of which were men, who were holding him back.
"Calm yourself Griever!" Kate's voice called, "He is no longer with the Sheriff!"
Griever looked to her, then to Rowan. The man looked haggard. Easily killed. It would be so easy. So easy...
"Fine," Griever snapped, throwing the people holding him back. He aimed the sword toward Rowan. "So help me God, should you give me a single reason to kill you, I will not hesitate to use the Eternal Lion's Blade to strike you down!" With that, Griever walked off.
The women made a path for him. He didn't notice. He was too angry. His grip tightened on the sword in his hands. One day, he WOULD get his revenge.
"Give it back!"
Norida grabbed the sword and pulled it from Griever. He let it go and continued walking. He would feel bad if he snapped any more today. And Norida was a nice enough lass. No need to hurt her feelings...
No, he would simply plan. Plan on how to kill the one who killed his sister.

On Monday, Apache released a patch for the Struts 2 framework [1]. The patch fixes an easy to exploit vulnerability in the multipart parser that is typically used for file uploads. A Metasploit module was released that same day, and some readers reported seeing already exploit attempts in the wild.
You should be running Struts 2.3.32 or 220.127.116.11. All prior versions are vulnerable.
Struts 2 is a Java framework that is commonly used by Java-based web applications. It is also knowns as "Jakarta Struts" and "Apache Struts". The Apache project currently maintains Struts.
The vulnerability allows an attacker to include code in the "Content-Type" header of an HTTP request. The code will then be executed by the web server. Here is a request that I collected against one of my servers:
Yes... the content type header is quite long. About 800 bytes. It should be easy to catch these exploit attempts with Snort by just setting the "max_header_length" parameter in the http_inspect preprocessor. I haven't tried it yet, but setting this to 500 should work fine (the default is 750, which should work too).
Snort.org included a rule in Tuesday's subscriber update.
The exploit should work on Windows and Linux. It tests which operating system it runs on via "@java.lang.System@getProperty('os.name')". It it runs on Windows, then it will execute cmd.exe /c followed by a command (highlighted in red in above's sample). One Unix, it will execute /bin/bash -c followed by the same command.
Commands I have seen so far:
Simple vulnerability checks:
echo "Struts2045"
Packet capture of the exploit running against a lab system

According to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-045, the vulnerable versions are: "Struts 2.3.5 - Struts 2.3.31, Struts 2.5 - Struts 2.5.10", but the handler's diary says all older versions. Are older versions affected?

You say that "All prior versions are vulnerable," but that isn't what I've seen elsewhere. At https://struts.apache.org/docs/s2-032.html they say that the affected versions are: Struts 2.3.20 - Struts Struts 2.3.28 (except 188.8.131.52 and 188.8.131.52).

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › iPhone for Backpacking article is updated
Sep 12, 2013 at 12:43 am #1307573
I just updated the iPhone for Backpacking article.
I rewrote the info about what the user needs to do to tune different models of iPhone to prevent battery drain (I'll try to get my hands on the about-to-be-released 5S and 5C and add that info soon).
I improved the list of battery-conservation settings.
I added a link to a list of non-map apps that various people said they like to use while hiking.
I still need to update the linked spreadsheet of map apps.
Thanks to folks who gave me input. It's a moving target, but together we can keep the info current.
AmySep 12, 2013 at 6:15 am #2024240
danke- very timely as I'm looking at finally getting into the smart phone arena (probably the C)- I'm the guy who bought his first ipod just two years ago :)Sep 12, 2013 at 8:44 am #2024282
Marc EldridgeBPL Member
@meldLocale: The here and now.
Thanks to your articles, Amy, I have successfully used the iPhone 4S as a back country GPS and mapping device. For whatever reason I settled on the National Geographic Topo maps. I down load the maps onto the phone and also print a set on waterproof paper and take these. I've already gone through the phone and done all the battery saving tips that you suggested and if I know I'm not going to need the phone very often, I shut it down and only turn in on to take a position and then reference it to the paper map and make a decision about the route. If I know that I will be needing it more frequently I make sure all the apps are shut down and then put it in airplane mode and leave the phone on. To use it again I have to go into Settings and turn off the airplane mode then go into the app and look at the map to get a location. Even with having to go into the Settings and turn off the airplane mode it is faster than having to turn on the phone each time I want to get a position. I also like to read and listen to music sometimes so I also carry a backup battery in case those activities drain too much of the battery. On a recent 5 day trip I didn't use the GPS very often and didn't read or listen to music and only used about 45% of the battery.Sep 12, 2013 at 8:53 am #2024285

I'm car camping at Mt. Hood and keeping up with BPL — 2 bars but 3G nene the less. Stored Podcasts at bedtime are great.
I've been using the Gia GPS app for a couple months. I'm happy with it, but you do need to remember to download the maps when you have good bandwidth.Sep 12, 2013 at 9:16 am #2024294
Marc –
Alan confirmed with me this morning that the ATT 4S does behave like the ATT 4, and we'll update the article tonight.
If your 4S is an ATT model (I don't know about Verizon), and if you lock the SIM, then you don't need to power down or use Airplane mode. The baseline battery drain is only 1-2% per day. I've used an ATT iPhone 4 (and Alan&Alison have used their 4S) for many long trips and never put it in airplane mode or powered down. If for whatever reason you don't want to remove or lock the SIM, then the toggle-Airplane-Mode solution is just right.
I'm not convinced that powering down and back up is less battery intensive than just leaving it in standby mode with all the battery conservation settings. I haven't tested it, but I have a hunch that all the diagnostics run at power-up may be more power consuming than the 1-2% per day you lose in standby mode. No data, just wondering.

Any usage or feedback regarding battery drain on iPhone 5s's?Oct 24, 2013 at 6:10 am #2037308
I don't know about the 5s, nor about iOS7. I may install iOS7 soon and rerun my tests, but I won't be getting a 5s, so hopefully somebody else on this forum who has one will run some tests. If you've got one and are interested you can PM me and I'll work with you and then include your results in the article.Oct 24, 2013 at 6:22 am #2037311
any insight into the 5c as far as gps/mapping, battery life, etc? my wifey just purchased one
dankeOct 24, 2013 at 6:35 am #2037314
Mike – as far as GPS and mapping, the 5c will undoubtedly be just like the other iphones, as described in the article.
As far as battery life, I don't know. If you are a slightly obsessive, attention-to-detail kind of person, and you're willing to spend the time running the tests, I'd be happy to take your results and incorporate them into the article.
For sure, if you don't tune the settings for improved battery life while you are backpacking, you will be disappointed, so study that section of the article and do at least nominal testing at home before you head out on a multiday trip.
AmyOct 24, 2013 at 3:59 pm #2037523
^ thanks- wasn't sure :) if I get some off time I'd consider doing some testing- might have a tough time prying it out my wife's hand thoughOct 27, 2013 at 6:08 pm #2038466
I just updated to iOS 7. I haven't done any testing, but on very first glance here are the new settings that I think might affect battery life. I don't know for sure, but these are things that appear (to me) to need to use CPU power just to be enabled.
Control Center -> AirDrop. I turned it off, I don't need the phone to waste battery broadcasting itself.
Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh. I turned off everything except one or two apps that I care about (Gaia and Google Maps). I'm sure this will save battery life. I don't need it spending any cycles while I'm asleep updating data for the Stocks or Weather app, etc.
Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services They've added some new battery-consuming things in that list, and all should be turned OFF to save battery (except Compass Calibration if you care about true vs magnetic north). This is a very sneaky place where Apple hides stuff that really does drain the battery and which many users would turn off if they knew these existed. One new setting Frequent Locations keeps track of where you are for reasons that most of us will never make use of.
Also, this is not new in iOS7, but I just noticed it's missing from the article and this is my reminder to update the article.
Settings -> General -> Date & Time. Set Automatically should be OFF. If it's ON, then the phone is detecting your location in order to adjust your time zone for you.Oct 28, 2013 at 5:26 pm #2038826

Pesticide Use and Fish Harvests in Vietnamese Rice Agroecosystems
Criticisms of the Green Revolution have focused on environmental and human health problems associated with pesticides. Pesticides may also have adverse effects on wild fish and other aquatic animals in rice paddies that supply an additional source of food and income for some farm households and provide natural pest control. We use survey data from the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam to estimate the impact of pesticides on fish harvests from rice fields. The results confirm findings of ecological studies that pesticide use harms fish populations. However, fish harvest losses are small enough that ignoring them is likely economically rational.

I used to think that building a business was just about generating sales. As I have become older, my eyes have been opened.
Day by day, I have pieced together a tapestry – a more complete picture of what is takes to build a scalable and saleable business. I have been applying what I am learning in real-time to my own businesses. Each book, each course, each mentor is supplying a new piece of the puzzle.My main issue is the density of the information I can gather from any one individual, as each has his or her own area of expertise. After studying personality types (DISC), I realized that we all have different tendencies which, like gravity, shape who we become, which explains why it is so hard to find information from all-rounders – people who have either broken the model or gone against the grain to learn a broader set of skills.
I want to transcend my personality type, my learning style and my natural talents. I want to improve my weaknesses as well as my strengths. I want to understand business holistically from the board room to the support desk, as no one part is more important than the next… it takes all of them to build a successful business. I search out sources of information from all-rounders: people who excel in all areas of business. I learn as much as I can from their journey.
To date, I have found less than a handful of people who have put in the effort to become an all-rounder. One of who recently published a course aptly titled Wealthification. You can learn more about the course in this post.
This is a little scary. Think about it: by controlling the filter bubble around someones search terms and online social interactions you can literally mold their perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes.
"As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there's a dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a "filter bubble" and don't get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy."
On WillFranco.com, I created a visual of my workflow. It is now outdated, so I am having another crack at visualizing my workflow. I have so many sites and use so many pieces of software and hardware, visualizing my everything really helps me stay productive and remember how everything is connected.
Playing around w/ MindMeister, one of my favorite mindmapping tools. I did a quick visual diagram of the chapters in VideoEmailWebinar (one of my free webinars).

How should you grow your organization?
It's one of the most challenging questions an executive team facesand the wrong answer can break your firm.
The problem is most firms' growth strategies emphasize just one type of growthsome focus on organic growth, others on M&A. When these strategies falter, the common response is simply to try harderbut firms falling into this implementation trap" usually end up losing out to a competitor whose approach is more inclusive.
So where do you start? By asking the right questions, argue INSEAD's Laurence Capron and coauthor Will Mitchell, of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. Drawing on decades of research and teaching, Capron and Mitchell find that a firm's aptitude for determining the best resource pathways for growth has a defining impact on its success. They've come up with a helpful framework, reflecting practices of a variety of successful global organizations, to determine which path is best for yours.
The resource pathways framework is built around three strategic questions:
BUILD: Are your existing internal resources relevant for developing the new resources that you have targeted for growth?
BORROW: Could you obtain the targeted resources via an effective relationship with a resource partner?
BUY: Do you need broad and deep relationships with your resource provider?
Written for large multinationals and emerging firms alike, Build, Borrow, or Buy will help solve a perennial question and will guide you through change while priming your organization for optimal growth.
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
"... a timely book." -- strategy+business magazine "What is so interesting about Build, Borrow or Buy is that while it identifies the problems facing a company approaching a growth phase it also offers strategic solutions based on a combination of approaches. The book says that essentially it is getting the mix right that has empowered companies of the calibre of Johnson & Johnson, Essilor, ResMed and Cisco more than anything else." -- Engineering & Technology Magazine, The Institution of Engineering and Technology "The logic is impeccable and very informative, evidencing the key points with real examples and models." -- Supply Management (supplymanagement.com) "This is not just another compilation of tips and tricks about how to manage the growth of your company. Its framework, the 'resource pathways', raises the exact questions you need to ask yourself when faced with strategic choices. The book contains the perfect balance between up-to-date examples and cogent analyses based on in-depth studies. It's a must-read before committing your firm to major investments, alliances, or acquisitions." -- The Independent "Much recent thinking on strategy emphasizes execution, but Capron and Mitchell's research shows that companies can excel at execution and still fail, because they choose the wrong "resource pathway." -- CFO Magazine "According to Capron and Mitchell, firms using a robust "build-borrow-buy framework" to gain new resources have a significantly greater five-year survival rate than those using only one of the approaches... The book is liberally laced with case studies of companies that have either got these strategies right or have got them wrong... The core message is that those who learn to select the right pathways to growth gain competitive advantage." -- Irish Times "In Build, Borrow or Buy, Capron and Mitchell argue that company leaders spend too much time searching for targets to take over and not enough asking themselves whether they need to do a takeover deal at all. ...Companies that want growth have two other options to consider alongside acquisitions: building the resources they need, or borrowing them from somewhere else. The most important aspect is taking the time to think through which approach is most appropriate... Think before you swoop." --The Sunday Times "Build, Borrow, or Buy serves as an outstanding resource for senior leaders and anyone working or interested in organizational growth and development." -- Leader Lab "... Build, Borrow, or Buy, by professors Laurence Capron, of INSEAD, and Will Mitchell, of Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, is such a timely book... Confident decisions about what strategy to adopt and what capabilities to develop are highly dependent on knowing how to obtain the required resources. For these reasons, reading Build, Borrow, or Buy could help you enhance your company's strategy as well as its execution." -- strategy+business magazine "This range of ideas is important because Capron and Mitchell make it clear that no single strategy will deliver specific outcomes and that the firms that survive and prosper create their own mix." -- The Australian "The book offers a series of more tactical questions and tips to help you as you probe more deeply into the build-borrow-buy possibilities... the keen insights stir the mind and offer many rewards" -- The Globe and Mail "Excellent case studies back up the authors' contention that sustainable growth comes when leaders make active choices across the full portfolio of growth options. A highly recommended read for all would-be strategists." -- Economia Book Review "Build, Borrow, or Buy serves as an outstanding resource for senior leaders and anyone working or interested in organizational growth and development.." -- David Burkus, LDRLB "There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all" is one of Peter Drucker's better-known maxims. Or, as Will Mitchell paraphrases it to CFO, "You can royally mess yourself up if you try to do the wrong thing really well." Either way, that nugget of wisdom lies at the core of an original new book on strategy and growth by Mitchell and Laurence Capron, Build, Borrow, or Buy. Much recent thinking on strategy emphasizes execution, but Capron and Mitchell's research shows that companies can excel at execution and still fail, because they choose the wrong "resource pathway." -- CFO Magazine "They've come up with a helpful framework that reflects the practices of a variety of successful global organizations, to determine which path is best for yours." -- The Hindu (India) "... an excellent book... fascinating... I'd say this book is essential reading for anyone involved in the growth of their company, and in the end, that's all of us." -- Business Traveller magazine ADVANCE PRAISE for Build, Borrow, or Buy: Bob McDonald, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, The Procter & Gamble Company -- "Capron and Mitchell accurately capture the dilemma that today's business leaders face--how to deliver long-term sustainable growth. They lay out a compelling framework by which to judge how to best fill capability gaps and position companies for growth." Roger Martin, Dean, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto -- "Laurence Capron and Will Mitchell have written a valuable book on how to think through the question of securing the capabilities that a company needs in order to win. Full of helpful checklists and frameworks, Build, Borrow, or Buy brings what could be abstract concepts down to earth for practicing executives. I recommend this book for all those who strive to make their company more prosperous." Peter Johnson, Vice President, Corporate Strategy, Eli Lilly and Company -- "Much has been written about identifying 'what' core competencies firms need to create competitive advantage. Build, Borrow, or Buy addresses the critical problem of 'how' to obtain those competencies. A clear, practical guide to thinking about successfully obtaining, integrating, and managing resources over time." Patrick Cescau, former Group CEO, Unilever -- "This rigorous and well-researched analysis provides an invaluable guide for any executive looking to address that greatest of growth conundrums: knowing precisely how and when to deploy a firm's resources and capabilities in pursuit of the biggest opportunities." Kathleen M. Eisenhardt, Stanford W. Ascherman M.D. Professor, Stanford University; coauthor, Competing on the Edge: Strategy as Structured Chaos -- "Capron and Mitchell will change how you think about business. They offer a crystal-clear framework, demystifying the thorny choices of when to acquire, ally, or 'do-it-yourself,' and they back it up with rich, global examples. A must-read for executives and business development professionals."Biografía del autor:

State Planning Policy 5/10 Air, Noise and Hazardous Materials
Note: the State Planning Policy 5/10 Air, Noise and Hazardous Materials is effective from 2 May 2011.
The development of sensitive land uses (like houses) near industry, can impact on community and human health, wellbeing, amenity and safety.
Industrial activities are important to the economy for the provision of goods and services but may cause impacts from air, noise and odour emissions, as well as from hazardous materials. Appropriate planning is necessary to maintain a balance which protects the health and wellbeing of communities and individuals, while allowing for sensible industrial development.
- Existing management framework
- The policy
- Local planning instruments, structure plans and master plans
- Development assessment
- Mapped management areas
- More information
Existing management framework
The potential impacts of most industrial activities, including the impacts from air, noise and odour emissions and the impacts from hazardous materials, are currently managed on a site-specific basis through assessment and conditioning of activities. This framework exists under the Environment Protection Act 1994 and the Dangerous Goods Safety Management Act 2001. As part of the assessment process, potential air, noise and odour impacts are evaluated against the Environmental Protection (Air) Policy 2008 and the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008. However this framework does not apply when:
- preparing planning instruments (like a local planning scheme)
- assessing the impacts of sensitive land uses (like houses) that encroach on industrial land uses.
As a result, sensitive land uses can be exposed to air, noise and odour emissions and the impacts of hazardous materials. This can also lead to impacts on the viable operation of industry.
The policy
The policy complements the existing management framework by providing a more strategic focus on the location of industrial land uses. The policy will ensure that planning instruments provide strategic direction about:
- where industrial land uses should be located to protect communities and individuals from the impacts of air, noise and odour emissions, and the impacts from hazardous materials
- how land for industrial land uses will be protected from unreasonable encroachment by incompatible land uses.
For further information, refer to frequently asked questions
Download the State Planning Policy 5/10 Air, Noise and Hazardous Materials
Local planning instruments, structure plans and master plans
Local planning instruments, structure plans and master plans are prepared by local governments to manage growth and change in their area.
To provide strategic direction on the location and protection of land for industrial land uses, the policy has a section on making or amending local planning instruments, structure plans and master plans. The policy particularly focuses on the relationship and compatibility of zones for industry and zones for sensitive land uses.
Further information on how local governments should reflect the policy in local planning instruments can be found in the standard advice sheet for making or amending local planning instruments.
Development assessment
The Integrated Development Assessment System is the process for assessing and deciding development applications at the site level, including assessment against local planning instruments. Under the planning legislation, local governments are not required to immediately remake or review their local planning instruments upon commencement of a new State planning policy. Accordingly, this policy has a section for specific development assessment decisions that apply only until a local government has reflected the intent of the policy in their local planning instruments. The section on development assessment applies where defined sensitive uses are proposed within a mapped management area.
Further information on how the policy impacts upon the development assessment process can be found in the standard advice sheet for development assessment.

Final WarMature
This will be a newer, and probably very similar, version of "Faces of War". I have decided to focus my attention on a new story because my old story lacked description. I have learned more on how to describe characters in my writing class and through reading, so i truly hope it will show here. The first "Chapter" is actually a Prologue which introduces the main character, Ryan, as he deals with his prison life. This story will focus on the future if you are curios.
The body slammed into the dark gray concrete floor with a mighty bang. Without thought, my eyes followed it as it was dragged away. The mans soul having already left it, leaving it without any colour, or facial expression. Only the pain in his eyes remained, sending a message to whoever had the heart to look into them, almost completely covered by the blood which was streaming from a hole in the back of his head.
"Execution is a hell of a thing," a man said beside me. "To know whats coming, and to not be able to do anything about it."
I didn't, couldn't, say anything back to him. I only felt the glare of his eyes on the back of my neck, burning into it. His name was Burns, so I was told. I was never told the real names of anyone around here, for, you see, I am a prisoner, stuck behind the bars that separate me from him. Stuck behind bars, hid away from the freedom of my earlier years of life.
Burns is a tall, skinny man who only wears raggy clothes. His cheekbones clearly protrude from his face, like he he not eaten in months. I slowly looked up to him and saw his eyes were half covered by his long, redish, hair. He then turned and walked away, back to his own job, without another thought.
My eyes trailed back to the concrete where a blood trail was now visible. I could not stand the sight, because I had known the man. He had been my best friend in this prison since the day we had been captured.
I then tried to get up, putting my hands out in front of me onto the concrete. Pausing, I just stared at them. I could not believe I was so skinny. All of the bones in my hand were visible, with no fat or muscle covering the fingers. I slowly rolled up one of my sleeves, scared of what I might see under the green combat shirt I was wearing, the same one I had been wearing since I arrived here seven months ago. I first saw the many scars, then the fresh wounds from being beaten, and all together my arm was nothing but skin and bone.
After climbing to my feet, pressing my back against the wall to support me, I looked into the mirror. I was immediately shocked by my appearance. I had chosen not to look into the mirror the day I arrived here because I knew I would constantly look different every day. I felt I would rather see the end result rather than watch my body rot day after day. But now, I did not even look like myself anymore. My round cheeks had shrunken to nothing. The brown hair that had been so short and neat, was now much longer and in many knots. I was a short man coming here, and I felt even smaller and less significant now that I had no weight left on me. Not even muscle remained. I could tell because the shirt I was wearing was torn and ripped in many places from when I had attempted to hand wash it. I now did not even care how I looked, I knew none of the people I cared about would ever see me again. My life is now all in a cage overlooking a small square where many of my friends were shot everyday.
My cell is very small. There is no bed and it has no seat. It only has a mirror hanging, without a purpose, on one of the two concrete walls. The other walls were jail bars, one connecting to the hall and the other facing the square from the third floor of the prison.
To the best of my knowledge, it is still 2040, or early 2041. I am stuck in a prison on some random, private, island just off the coast of Africa, so the seasons and exact months are hard to define. Sometimes they tell me the day, sometimes I ask and I just get hit over the head with a gun. These "people", who are more like cruel animals, care about no one and they have killed millions in the war that brought all of Europe, and the world to its knees. So, seeing as you may not know about all of the history of the war and why I am here, then I should explain it to you before I continue on. I am currently writing all of this on the strong paper napkins that have been provided for me. Once a week I would receive two, but soon enough they just stopped giving me any. I have hardly used any because they are so tough they tear the skin. One of the guards gave me a pencil to write letters home, so I still have it and I have never been given one stamp for any letters. Now, with the limited supply of napkins I have, here is my story for any who care. My name is Ryan, by the way.
