A cardinal-archbishop like none before him

VATICAN CITY — Once more, the Archdiocese of Boston has a cardinal-archbishop — yet one unlike any of his predecessors. For the first time in the history of the Archdiocese of Boston — and only the 10th time in Church history — the Holy Father has elevated a Capuchin friar to the position of cardinal.
On March 24, Cardinal-designate Seán P. O'Malley, together with 14 other cardinals-designate was elevated to become a prince of the Church by Pope Benedict XVI in a consistory at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.
Foul weather plagued Vatican City the days preceding the consistory, and the dark threatening clouds looming overhead indicated rain would not be far away. Nevertheless, the entire College of Cardinals, hundreds of bishops and thousands of invited guests, many of them waving flags from their native countries, filled the seats in St. Peter's Square to witness this pontiff's first Ordinary Public Consistory.
As the choir sang the words of Psalm 32, "Exult you just in the Lord; to Him give praise," the 15 cardinals-designate clad in their scarlet robes processed into St. Peter's Square to animated applause and cheers. Cardinal-designate O'Malley, smiling widely, periodically paused in the procession to greet friends and family members.

On a recent Wednesday evening, a youngish crowd gathered on the banks of Paris' Seine River to catch a ride to a nearby island. After the short crossing, they sat on blankets and pillows amid crackling fire pits and ate Irish tapas. Plates of salad greens tossed with Clonakilty blood sausage, thick with oats, and bowls of chunky seafood chowder with smoked salmon were followed by creamy mocha hazelnut meringue. All of it helped absorb a variety of whiskey-based drinks, including whiskey mojitos. Folksy rock bands played on a makeshift stage, not loud enough to overwhelm conversation. The event was called Foodstock. And while most of the guests were better dressed and better smelling than attendees at the namesake Woodstock festival 41 years ago, both groups shared a spirit of revolution.
Foodstock was organized by Le Fooding, a movement-turned-business that, for the last 10 years, has spoken for a new generation of Franco foodies. As the French Revolution replaced stale traditions of hierarchy with ideals of diversity and freedom, Le Fooding is a break from the narrowly defined principles of traditional French cuisine. The old guard is epitomized by the Michelin ranking system, which grades the dining experience with one, two or three stars based on a variety of exacting standards. Where the Michelin standards are based on the assumption that there is a right and wrong way to do everything, Le Fooding standards are based on the overall feeling of a place, food included. Accordingly, Le Fooding has produced its own restaurant guide that covers select restaurants all over France.
If you ask a Foodingueur to explain what he or she means by "feeling," expect a starry-eyed response. "Feeling doesn't have a translation in French," explains Constance Jouven, a communications specialist with Le Fooding. "It's a quality you feel that makes you think, 'I have to come back here.'"
According to Anna Polonsky, co-executive of Le Fooding, "Feeling is not about strict codes for how many centimeters are between each table, or how the bathroom is arranged, or how this or that food is prepared, or having truffle on the menu. Sometimes a restaurant has all the codes, but isn't memorable."
If you find it strange that French foodies are reorganizing the French dining experience according to an American word that doesn't translate into French, brace yourself for this: They also claim there isn't even a French translation for "food"—hence the adoption of the word "food" in Le Fooding.
"In France, food is either industry, science or art," says Polonsky. She says there are different French words for each, but none so inclusive as "food." By choosing a word with many different meanings, Le Fooding marked a broad chunk of culinary territory.
The word "fooding" was coined in 1999 by Le Fooding's founder, Français Alexandre Cammas. Writing for Nova magazine, Cammas observed a shift in the habits of younger Parisians, who were showing an increasing interest in food as a recreational pursuit. "Clubbing is out," he wrote, "and Fooding is in." Today, Le Fooding shares a Paris office space with a rock 'n' roll magazine on a narrow side street, barely a stone's throw from the Bastille.
Like many of the impressionists who followed the realists, the Le Fooding guide favors broad strokes over minute detail. For example, "casual stubbly waiters, a hustle-and-bustle trendy crowd, a chef with moods, no bookings at lunch," says the guide of Le Chateaubriand. Of Les Delices du Shandong: "Chinese food and training camp for potential 'Survivor' candidates. Can you take the garlic medusa, the trashy tripe, or the super hot beef soup?"
Le Fooding happenings like Foodstock are conceived as demonstrations of food-borne feeling. Recent events have included a clandestine cognac bar in the basement of the Hôtel Thoumieux, and a "Paris loves New York" event at P.S. 1, in New York City. This September Le Fooding will return to the states with a New York vs. San Francisco event, partly inspired by the rivalry of East Coast and West Coast rap—minus, one assumes, the drive-by shootings.
"The idea is to gather what's happening right now, in terms of food, art and music," Polonsky says. "It's a snapshot of the moment."
Following a Le Fooding guide recommendation, I booked a reservation at a Paris restaurant called Derrière, which means—pardon my French—"buttocks."
An eclectic dining service was arranged around a tastefully decorated and somewhat cluttered bohemian apartment. There was a motorcycle parked beneath a crowded coat rack just inside the door, a ping-pong table in the middle of the room, and a cluttered desk between two tables.
My companions and I sat in an upstairs bedroom, two of us on the bed. Another party occupied a table at the foot of the bed, and another dined between components of the room's entertainment system, their bread plate on the TV, their wineglasses perched on a stack of magazines. Across the room was a painting of a naked woman with her knees pulled together in the air, her derrière winking at us.
A cheerful waiter sat with us as we ordered pumpkin soup with sea urchin whipped cream, steamed cod with nori, cabbage and creamy clam jus, braised beef cheeks, scallops with orange and ginger, and lentils with horseradish. The food was exceptional, each dish arriving beautifully presented on mismatched plates. The mood in the room was jovial, and the layout seemed to foster a rare kind of inter-table intimacy. Our pumpkin soup drew questions from across the bed thanks to our chatters of approval.
"You go to a restaurant not only for the food but because you have a specific desire," Polonsky had said. Indeed, after weeks of food that substituted cream for creativity as it chased a crusty, nostalgic ideal, at Derrière I finally found the cutting edge. It was the elusive, funky and brilliant Paris dining experience I was craving. I suppose I can go home now.
Ask Ari
Harvest help
Q: Dear Flash,
I planted garlic last fall and mulched it. Now it's coming up through the mulch, but there are a few gaps in places where plants should be growing. What should I do? Also, looking forward, what else should I keep in mind between now and harvest? And when do I harvest?
—Mulch Madness
A: It's possible that the mulch is so thick in places that it's stopping your garlic from coming up. What I usually do this time of year is pull all of the mulch off, which allows the ground to warm up faster and also allows any garlic plants that were thwarted by the mulch to catch some rays and stand up. As the plants come up I lay out soaker hose in the garlic, and when the plants are about 8 inches tall I put the mulch back in between the plants and on top of the soaker hose. This is a very efficient irrigation system that keeps the weeds down and keeps the water from evaporating.
Make sure your garlic is watered between now and harvest. If you planted a hardneck variety, you'll also have the added "chore" of harvesting the flowers as they emerge. This encourages the bulbs to get bigger, and also supplies you with some early-season garlic. Pick the flowers as soon as you see them and store them in the fridge. Substitute the spring garlic for bulb garlic as you cook.
You'll know it's time to harvest when the leaves start turning yellow, no matter how much you water. To make sure it's time, dig or pull up a plant and see if it has a nice bulb at the bottom. Harvest the garlic, clean them off, and hang them in a garage or shed for a few weeks to cure.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
There's been plenty of movement over the past week, particularly thanks to a jam-packed Eastern Conference. Teams jumping five spots after one game is becoming a commonplace event, which makes them slide out of the picture just as quickly as they entered it. It's that tumultuousness that's the reason for the Bruins, despite their very poor stretch, being only two points out of the race, at #12.
The #13 Islanders are only three out, and meanwhile (in the West) the #13 Blues are only five points out themselves. We've seen no signs of the brackets stabilizing any time soon, so with that in mind, let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Tuesday, February 2 at 11:30pm (sans the late games):
The Sharks are 8-0-2 in their last 10, and have even put some modest distance between themselves and Chicago. Detroit is struggling with Calgary for the last spot, and Dallas is only one point out of that hunt after defeating Minnesota Tuesday. San Jose has shown themselves to be the better team as far as records go, and their 53 to -5 goal differential edge puts even more pressure on Detroit.
Just like the last series, Chicago is the better team with the better goal differential (51 to -2). Nashville could conceivably make things a little interesting in Nashville, but Chicago's home prowess will be too much to overcome. And Nashville's been a little shaky as of late, too.
This should be rather similar to the Blackhawks/Predators series. Vancouver has the 23-7-1 home record, which should be good enough to hold off the Avs, and have a +45 goal differential against Colorado's +17. And to top it off, Vancouver's Olympic road trip will mean they'll have a lot of experience playing at home before the playoffs.
This one has the potential to be very close. Phoenix is up by four points, but has played two more games. Los Angeles has a 15 to 10 goal differential edge, and is a higher scoring team. But again, I refer you to Phoenix's 21-8-2 home record. With so many variables, this series should be dragged out, and could go either way.
Not only is Washington the NHL's leading scorer, they have a very good home/away edge, and have won their last 11. Washington should easily dispose of the Lightning, unless Joe Namath comes out of nowhere and guarantees Tampa Bay's victory.
New Jersey should win easily, but they've been running into a lot of trouble lately, including losing 3-0 in Toronto on Tuesday. Isn't Brodeur supposed to be the one dishing out the shutouts? If New Jersey can't get it together, this could be the big upset this year, and New Jersey would get knocked out by an inferior team in the 1st round, again.
Buffalo is ahead by 12 points, but only has a 21-14 goal differential edge. Buffalo has won four more games, but that also means they've lost four more games in overtime. And Philadelphia's the higher scorer. All this adds up to drawing first blood being very important for Philadelphia to capture and maintain momentum. Otherwise, Buffalo could force Philadelphia to lose their grip on things pretty quickly.
Pittsburgh won a 5-4 high scoring affair over Buffalo Monday, while Ottawa has won their last nine games. Eight of those games were won in regulation, and six were decided by a multiple goal margin. They're only five points behind Pittsburgh (and Buffalo), and could definitely use their momentum to dethrone the champs.

OK, I wasn't sure if this should go in Sarlacc Pitt or Custom Mandos, so Mods move if needed.
I asked for input a few weeks ago as to whether or not to go to the Clone Wars opening weekend with my 6yr old daughter in my partially completed Boba Fett costume. Jumpsuit is wrong color, no gauntlets, knee armor, wrong gloves, boots etc.
However, thanks in part to the encouragement of Fett heads here, we went. SO GLAD WE DID!
Special thanks to HONUS for the armor, flak vest, belts, jet pack (it had to stay home)
Thanks to everyone for answering my questions over the past two years and helping a newbie out.
Enough blabbering, here's the pix. Don't be too hard on critiquing my costume. BTW, I cut my daughter's body armor out and shaped it.
SHE sanded it herself and painted it. I just sprayed the primer on.
I hope y'all enjoy the pix.

The model for three-mode factor analysis is discussed in terms of newer applications of mathematical processes including a type of matrix process termed the Kronecker product and the definition of combination variables. Three methods of analysis to a type of extension of principal components analysis are discussed. Methods II and III are applicable to analysis of data collected for a large sample of individuals. An extension of the model is described in which allowance is made for unique variance for each combination variable when the data are collected for a large sample of individuals.

i use the latest 9.11 version of xbmc with all video/system settings set on default.
the problem is that i get a very annoying stutter in any mkv file i play on xbmc, most of my files are 720p. when watching the log i see the cpu usage picks at 50% and only 5 frames lost at most in any movie, but actually watching the movie seems like alot more then 5 frames are dropped, the movie is really stuttering.
now using the "sync playback to screen" option using the "video clock (resample audio)" syncing method seems to make the playback abit smoother but still laggy sometimes.
i use Sony Bravia 52kdl5500 as my screen and desktop resolution is set to 1920x1080
i would thank you for some help on this...

STPEC Brown Bag with Michaelann Bewsee from Arise for Social Justice
March 12, 2014
11:15 am-12:45 pm
Campus Center
Room: 168C
UMass Amherst Campus
We are proud to announce the second year of the STPEC Activist Brown Bag Lunch Series. This semester, four extraordinary local activists will visit UMass to share their experiences and perspectives on activism in the Valley and beyond. Come ready to ask questions (for example, about internship opportunities!) and participate in a wider discussion of their work. The series is open to the general public, so please bring your friends.
In 1985, Michaelann Bewsee and a group of other women on welfare organized Arise for Social Justice to support the rights of low-income people in Springfield, MA. Twenty-seven years later, Bewsee and Arise continue to work overtime both to provide direct services to people in need and to organize Springfield residents—especially poor, homeless, at-risk, unemployed, and otherwise marginalized people—to tackle the deep-rooted causes of poverty in their city. Arise has won many important victories, from the safeguarding voting rights and increasing political representation, to the creation of Sanctuary City (a tent city established in response to shortages of beds in the homeless shelters), to the defeat of a proposed new biomass plant that would have raised already high levels of asthma in Springfield. Arise is currently focusing on three areas, all of which would benefit from the assistance of committed student interns: environmental health and climate justice; homelessness; and reforming the criminal justice system. Bewsee sees these three areas to be closely inter-related and is helping Arise create a vision of what a just, sustainable Springfield would look like.
Light refreshments will be served, but you are encouraged to bring a lunch.

No. 1 USC Starves Anteaters In Second Half To Win 11-3
April 6, 2013
IRVINE, CALIF. -- The No. 1 USC women's water polo team held its host scoreless for just under 22 minutes of the last stretch of play today, beating No. 7 UC Irvine 11-3 to keep that undefeated Trojan record intact to date. Now 20-0 on the year, the Women of Troy broke a 3-3 tie with eight straight unanswered goals to drown out the Anteaters in a nonconference clash today in Irvine.
Hannah Buckling blasted a hat trick today to charge up the USC offense. She followed up an early Kaleigh Gilchrist rocket with back-to-back goals to get USC out of the gates on a 3-0 run. The Anteaters would manufacture a three-goal response to close the gap to 3-3 with 5:56 on the clock in the second period of play. The referee whistle blew a grand total of eight exclusions in the second frame, but aside from the tying 6-on-5 finish by UC Irvine, both teams struck out on their power play chances. The USC defense clamped down and stopped four of UCI's five power plays in the second as the Trojans' defensive domination began to build.
After UCI struck to pull even at 3-3, USC went the other way and Anni Espar found Dominque Sardo. Espar laced a perfect pass to Sardo at the post for the go-ahead goal for the Trojans. Colleen O'Donnell would plug in a nifty shot from the perimeter next, and Eike Daube launched a slick bar-in score before the close of the half to make it a 6-3 USC advantage.
And while the USC defense -- anchored by goalie Flora Bolonyai and bolstered further by many USC field blocks -- continued to click, the USC offense distributed the ball among five pairs of scoring hands before the final buzzer. Only one goal would go in the third frame, a missile launched by Gilchrist off a feed from Daube. That put USC up 7-3 entering the fourth, where Chelsea Silvers, Constance Hiller and Monica Vavic got in on the scoring action while Buckling plugged in her third of the day. Espar hit Vavic for the capper in the final minute of play, and USC had an 11-3 win in the books.
The top-ranked Trojans now return home to put their undefeated overall record and perfect MPSF mark up against No. 2 Stanford in a 4 p.m. matchup on Saturday (April 13) at USC's home pool at the site of the under-construction Uytengsu Aquatics Center. Before the game, the Women of Troy will honor their five graduating seniors: Constance Hiller, Nicolina McCall, Blair Moody, Dominique Sardo and Chelsea Silvers.
#1 USC 11, #7 UC Irvine 3
SAVES: Flora Bolonyai (USC) 7, Jillian Yocum (UCI) 9.

2010 Indian Chief Vintage - Media/Press Releases
News Brief: New Indian Motorcycle Models announced at Dealer Meeting
New Chief Dark Horse and Chief Bomber will be on display at the Sturgis Rally
Kings Mountain, NC- Indian Motorcycle revealed two additional models- The Dark Horse and Bomber-to an excited dealer network. Fifteen Indian Motorcycle dealerships are open worldwide and representatives from each location were on hand for the first official dealership meeting June 22-24th.
Inspired by WWII aircraft, the Bomber is a limited edition Chief model and will only be available for one year. The Bomber is available in Military Green and Silver Smoke finishes. The pin-up girl tank artwork is inspired by the Bomber nose art of that era. The leather used on the seat and saddlebags are reminiscent of the feel and color of an old bomber jacket. The price of the Bomber is $30,999.
The Chief Dark Horse is a dark, sinister, mechanical looking motorcycle with a smoke "matte" finish and is available in Thunder Black, Indian Red and Deep Water Blue. The colored headdress on the tank is a new twist on the colored versions of the past. The dark components on the bike including the blacked out headlight, tappet blocks, suspension, engine components, exhaust system, and hand controls make the remaining chrome components stand out. The Dark Horse is priced at $27,999.
The new Classic is the entry level Chief and is the only Chief model available with short fenders. It features the Indian script tank logo and is available in standard Indian Red or Thunder Black. Optional colors are also available in Dark Water Blue or Starlight Silver. The price starts at $25,999.
All Chiefs feature a 105 cubic inch PowerPlus V-Twin powertrain with electronic closed loop sequential port fuel injection. Engine cylinders are Nikasil plated and the stainless stell exhaust system is an integrated 3-way catalytic converter with heated oxygen sensors.
A six-speed Baker transmission delivers power through the belt drive. Stopping is achieved via Brembo 4-piston calipers, with 11.5" dual rotors up front. Standard 5.5-gallon tank helps extend cruising range. Seats are all-leather and built to exacting specifications.
"We're very excited about the new Indian models which bring a more distinct range to the Chief line," said Chris Bernauer, General Manager. "Releasing new, superior product is a legacy that we are happy to continue."
Assembly takes place in Kings Mountain, NC with an incessant emphasis on quality and craftsmanship. For more information on Indian Motorcycles, dealerships, apparel, and accessories

Cemetery notes and/or description:
This cemetery is located in the northeast quadrant of Red River County, Texas. GPS COORDINATES: Datum WGS84: 33 Deg 37.375N, 94 Deg 51.720W. In English, at the intersection of FM 114 with CR 3300, turn right or southwest and go 5/10 mile to the cemetery which is on the left. On October 10, 1859 the Savannah Methodist Episcopal Church paid $1 to Andrew J. Williams for 2.84 acres of the Asa Dean survey, instrument filed for record on 10 Oct 1859 in Book CH Vol M Page 260. There is a transaction dated 9 Dec 1872 and recorded 3 May 1873 for Asa Dean Survey for Order of Free Masons from O. C. English in Book CH T page 112. The oldest marked burial with a complete date is that of Margaret A. Dunagan, This cemetery was surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale on 1 Mar 1999. While taking the survey, this cemetery was divided into 5 sections: Center, North, East, South and West. Just prior to publication of the year 2000 book on cemeteries we returned to this cemetery and prepared the accompanying map. We were on this site on 30 Jan 2003 to take the GPS Coordinates. We also did a re-walk of the cemetery on 2 May 2004 adding new burials and noting marker changes. An update was accomplished in the summer of 2010 by Richard L. and his wife Gertrud (Rodemers) Hankins. Richard prepared a new map of the cemetery which includes the newly formed area called West Extension. With their work they were able to add burials to a current time and to add marker changes made since 2004. As of 12 Jul 2010 this cemetery had 977 documented burials. All information for this cemetery location/notes is from the books Burial, Cemetery and Death Records for Red River County, Texas' by Lawrence and Sue Dale, Copyright © 2005.

24 Tenn. courthouses receive bomb threats
The bomb threats forced the evacuation of 24 courthouses across the state, including the federal building in downtown Memphis
By Adrian Sainz
Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Authorities in Tennessee are investigating bomb threats that forced the evacuation of 24 courthouses across the state, including the federal building in downtown Memphis.
Tennessee Emergency Management Agency spokesman Jeremy Heidt said Tuesday there were seven courthouse threats in West Tennessee, four in Middle Tennessee and 13 in East Tennessee.
Heidt said no bombs have been found at any of the locations.
The federal building in Memphis that houses the federal court and other federal offices was evacuated around 9 a.m. Tuesday for a couple of hours while authorities checked it.
Heidt said the threats were made by telephone to court clerk offices.
A similar bomb threat hoax last week targeted 28 courthouses in Oregon.

A range of test shots are shown over the next two pages. Here, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and in some case a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.
The wide angle end of the zoom is equivalent to 37mm. The full-size version of this image is only 1.1MB, very small for a 7MP camera.
The telephoto end is equivalent to 111mm.
Colour rendition is OK, but blotchy.
The poor quality metering system and the low dynamic range have burned out the highlights in this shot.

I have bought this camera, and really makes me remember the poor quality of the old but famous Sony MAVICA (I had one before, I think it was the MVC-FD73)...there´s something I still can´t understand about the KODAK C743...if having 7.3 megapixels, then why the pics have so low quality?
I always thought a "more-than-5-megapix" camera should have, at least, good quality shots...but this broke my classic way of thinking...
Anyone can explain, please, what´s the point (the main bad point) in this camera, that makes it´s shots so bad?...I read all but, as a non-expert in the world of digital cameras, cna´t still get it.
thank you a lot!
It's no good having even 7 megapixels, baxter if the lens or the other vitals are not up to snuff. I can't see Kodak making specially bad sensors to go in their cheaper cameras so in this case I suspect the lens is simply built down to a price and therefore responsible for the inferior image. If this camera were cheaper, it would be fine for those who want 6X4 prints and the ultimate simplicity of operation. In other words a "soccer mom's" camera!
Have a look at the images from a Kodak DX6490 which has FOUR megapixels and you'll see what I'm getting at.

In the early 1900s, author Kin Hubbard said, "A bee is never as busy as it seems; it's just that it can't buzz any slower." A century later, things haven't changed much — except that today, those bees are us and that buzzing comes from our mobile phones.
Survey data tells us that consumers regard their mobile phones as catalysts for productivity. Considering the amount of time consumers spend using the device and how essential they characterize the technology to be, it's easy to take their word for it. But not so fast: Mobile tracking metrics show that consumers rarely ever conduct productivity-related tasks on their devices. In fact, the official US productivity rate has dropped to its lowest point in the past two decades.
In this case, the conflicting data points are not wrong, they are complementary — and the resulting insight is even more valuable than the sum of its parts. A combination of Forrester's Consumer Technographics® data, mobile tracking numbers, and ConsumerVoices output reveals that consumers engage far less frequently in productive behaviors than expected — and suggests a new understanding of what "mobile productivity" really means.

A journalist called and asked me today about the market size for wearables. I replied, "That's not the big story."
So what is? It's data, and what you can do with it.
First you have to collect the data and have the permission to do so. Most of these relationships are one-to-one. I have these relationships with Nike, Jawbone, Basis, RunKeeper, MyFitnessPal and a few others. I have an app for each on my phone that harvests the data and shows it to me in a way I can understand. Many of these devices have open APIs, so I can import my Fitbit or Jawbone data into MyFitnessPal, for example.
From the story on 9to5mac.com, it is clear that Apple (like with Passbook) is creating a single place for consumers to store a wide range of healthcare and fitness information. From the screenshots they have, it also appears that one can trend this information over time. The phone is capable of collecting some of this information, and is increasingly doing so with less battery burn due to efficiencies in how the sensor data is crunched, so to speak. Wearables – perhaps one from Apple – will collect more information. Other data will certainly come from third-party wearables - such as fitness wearables, patches, bandages, socks and shirt - and attachments, such as the Smartphone Physical. There will always be tradeoffs between the amount of information you collect and the form factor. While I don't want to wear a chubby, clunky device 24x7, it gets better every day.

My colleague Reineke Reitsma recently published a blog on the limited but growing uptake of QR/2D barcodes.
Let's face reality. Usage is low and marketing execution is poor to date, with too many campaigns that lack a clear consumer benefit and that provide a bad user experience by not offering mobile-optimized content. Today, mobile bar codes are an interesting tactic to engage with early adopters.
However, moving forward, we expect QR codes to gain traction and to be increasingly mixed with other technologies (including radio technologies like NFC) to provide extended product packaging solutions. Bar codes do not have to be just cold, emotionless, black-and-white squares. Solutions now exist to personalize QR codes' designs and seamlessly mix them into a logo or band chart – even merging QR codes and NFC tags, as in the example below from mobiLead solutions.
The 2D bar code market will follow the same path as the 1D bar code market: fulfilling the need for certified and scalable platforms dealing with millions of standard code generation. Mobile bar code vendors will have to move into scalable mobile engagement platforms, progressively integrating multiple access technologies, such as Near Field Communications (NFC) tags, image recognition, or audio tags such as Shazam, and offering deep analytical tools. Beyond the emerging role of 2D bar codes in sales, we expect a growing number of brands — especially in the nutrition and health space — to systematize the use of bar codes on product packaging. Consumers want access to more product information, and brands can leverage mobile technologies to create a consumer relationship.

That's kind of a bold statement to make when many companies — be they media players or the likes of Facebook — face a mobile monetization gap and when most successful companies generate only dozens of millions of dollars of direct mobile transactions. Despite the hype around "freemium" models, the reality is that few companies can now rely on a standalone mobile business model and that most mobile business models remain unproven.
The Web extended most business models and created only a small number of truly successful new ones. Mobile will follow the same path: Extension, rather than disruption, will be the norm for most businesses, with a few disruptive mobile pure-plays as the exception but not the rule. That doesn't mean, however, that mobile-first businesses won't disrupt existing players. Mobile is an enabler of new direct-to-consumer products already, in industries such as car services, food delivery, and home health products. And mobile is disrupting born-on-the-Web companies such as Facebook.

New to the BMW world!
Hey guys and gals I am new to the forums. My name is Tony and I live in the hills of Huntington, WV. I bought my first BMW 3 days ago and let me tell you, I love it. I have owned over 50 cars since the age of 16 and I'm only 20 now but I went through cars every month because of my dad owning a car dealership. I will not be selling my 2004 325xi. There is just something about this car that I love. I wish it was a stick but I found this clean one owner Bimmer rolling through the auction block and couldn't resist. They traded it on a new 3 series and it don't look like its ever been set in. I will add a couple of attachments of pics of it. They are crappy photos and the only ones I have right now. I am looking forward to learning about the BMW world and being a part of this forum.

I really appreciate all the effort everyone has put into this situation. My ability to get time to work on it has been put on hold due to my wife just having surgery.
I was able to get the before and after print out of the readings. Camber before was 1.3 on left and -1.3 on right. Caster before was -1.1 on left and -5.3 on right. Toe was -0.17 on left and -0.04 on right. SAI was 9.1 on left and 12.2 on right. Included angle was 10.4 on left and 10.8 on right.
Front readings before were as follows. Cross Camber was 2.6, Cross Caster was 4.1, Cross SAI was -3.0.
Rear Readings before are - Camber -0.3 left and 0.1 right. Toe was 1.30 left and -.069 right.
Rear Readings before were Cross Camber -0.3, Total Toe 0.61 and Thrust Angle was 0.99.
I have had the car out and driven it and it really doesn't seem to have any 'bad habits'. It tracks straight and doesn't pull. Doesn't seem to oversteer when turning. The power steering may be masking effort.
The Actual Final Readings per the print out are as follows:
Camber 0.2 Left and 0.4 Right, Caster -3.2 Left and -3.5 right. Toe 0.02 Left and 0.05 Right. SAI 10.1 Left and 19.1 Right. Included Angle 10.2 Left and 19.5 Right.
Front Final Readings were Cross Camber -0.3, Cross Caster 0.2, Cross SAI -9.0, Total Toe 0.06.
Rear Final Readings were Camber -0.5 Left and 0.2 Right, Toe 0.34 Left and 0.26 Right.
Rear Cross Camber -0.7 Total Toe 0.60 and Trust Angle 0.04.
I still intend to pull the wheels and take measurements and more pictures. It may be awhile before I can get the time to do it.
Thanks again to all who have spent so much time on this. I will post more information as I get to it
Thanks again,

This year at school the teachers were aloud to dress up! My department chose the theme "Movie Night Out" and dressed up as different movie characters. I was.......Edward Scissorhands!!!! Here is the costume I threw together.
My birthday weekend was amazing!! Friday night I went to my girlfriends to carve pumpkins. An annual Halloween tradition. Since I am pretty much obsessed with Halloween, I decided to dress like a vampire for the fun of it!

I wish I could heal you,
To bring you into my arms and soothe you, restore you,
Tell you everything kindly, gently.
But that is not who I am.
I yell out, OUT! into nothing. 'Who am I? ' 'What am I? '
Does my name, my title, mean anything at all?
Perhaps I embalm you. Preserve you.
I can stop you from falling to pieces and keep you,
Safe, in a little jar. An unaltered state.
But that is who I don't want to be.
Or am I merely a product for you,
A manufactured item made just for your enjoyment.
Keep me away from you. I am a lunar crater,
Broken! Filled with untouchable remains.
This is who you have created.

By Dianne Cornish, REVIEW STAFF

Last year's decision to change the route for Waterdown's Terry Fox Run proved beneficial for the annual event, garnering more donations, as well as greater participation. As a result, the downtown route, starting and ending at Memorial Park, will be retained this year, with the event set to go on Sunday, Sept. 16.

"We felt a change would be good for everyone," said site organizer Michael Collette, noting that the new route changed its starting point from the Flamborough Family YMCA to the Hamilton Street park to increase visibility. "It was a good move," he added, with donations climbing to $5,208 last fall compared to the previous year's $4,532. The number of participants also rose, from 105 in 2010 to 118 in 2011.

This year, those lacing up their sneakers to take part in the 2.5-kilometre event will follow a clockwise route from the park taking them north along Hamilton Street, east on Parkside Drive, south on Main Street, west along Dundas Street and then north along Hamilton Street on their final leg to the finish line at Memorial Park.

The early morning start of 9 a.m., with registration at 8 a.m., will also return this year, with everything expected to wrap up before noon. Official 2012 Terry Fox T-shirts will be available for purchase by participants and guests.

As in previous years, participation will not be limited to walking the pre-set course; participants can jog, rollerblade or cycle and people in wheelchairs are also welcome, Collette said.

To ensure the safety of everyone, there will be a staggered start, with cyclists and rollerbladers leading off the event, followed by the runners and, lastly, the walkers. A core group of six volunteers, who have consistently helped over the past decade, will be on hand to ensure things run smoothly. "There are always more volunteers who show up on the day of the event," Collette noted.

The Waterdown Rotary Club, headed by Collette this year, is the sponsor of the annual run, which raises funds for cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation (TFF). The club covers the City of Hamilton's road fees ($220) for the event every year; also assisting are Fortinos and Sobeys, which provide free water for all participants.

Last year, the TFF invested about $27.5 million in cancer research and, this year's funding from the Foundation for research projects in Ontario includes $727,000 for the Juravinski Cancer Centre and $580,000 for McMaster University. "It's important to let everyone know where the money goes," Collette said, adding that 84 cents out of every dollar raised goes to cancer research.

The run is named in honour of a young man, who, in 1980, decided to run across Canada to raise funds to find a cure for the disease that resulted in the amputation of his right leg. After running daily for 143 days, the 22-year-old was forced to stop when cancer recurred in his lungs, later causing his death.

That should be 3 reception TD's for Jones. Two were stolen by the zebras.
Also LOL @ the Jets for bringing in a guy that called the FO "idiots" 6 days ago.
That's probably why they brought him back. The guy knows what he's talking about!

24: Introduce yourself to everyone that doesn't already know who you are.
Vic Freeze: Yep. What's good fam? 4 more years..Obama!! We witnessing history in the making. Anyway..Thx for having me for the interview session. For those of you that don't know.. my name is Vic Freeze. Currently up da way, reppin Cleveland. Salute to all of Ohio as well.
24: Before we get into your music, can you describe your history and how you got into music and what inspired you?
Vic Freeze: First and foremost..my parents had me young. I think 16 and 17..and they still made it.
That's serious. You know a lot of kids don't get that. I remember it and respect it. As far as inspiration musically, my momma and my daughter standout. My first memories are of music and sports u know. Choir rehearsals, p-funk vinyls, jazz, rock, and pop…They will be the first to admit that Hip-Hop found me at an earlier age..I remember one of my mom coworkers was a DJ and he gave me my first mixtape when I was 8. It had KRS-One, Rakim, Luke, Ice T, NWA, Geto Boyz, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane and Kool Moe Dee. Run DMC,Beastie Boyz, and early Public Enemy.
Music is powerful…I mean if you listen to Sam Cooke it's gonna make you feel somethin' Recently, When my daughter was born the songs and concepts just changed for me. My agenda is much different now..not concerned about time any more. Everything is much more calculated n precise. And more pocket driven..oh yeah and a point. As far as how I got started rapping..I always wrote poems, songs, thoughts and rhymes. That was natural. I think the emceeing part was just the progression of me as a person being able to express myself. Like being on a basketball team and everybody know you nice but they just want you to show what they believe and have a break out game. Where you just erupt for a 20 spot in a quarter. That's how me and rap was for a long time..I was good…but now I know I'm good and can prove it consistently. If you can freestyle for hours at a time but can't put together a song or got a 100 songs and got a whack ass show..Or got dope music and nobody hear it..what's the point fam? I learned to be myself and be great at what I'm good at and get better at the shit I m not. That's when I found my niche. I'm just gone be me and keep banging out. I gotta thank my ace Paulie Rhyme for that one. I wish I could tell you I just hopped On stage and …well okay I did just hop on stage lol.. but I wasn't a battle champion or showcase winner Hip-Hop has kept me sane over the years..spotlight or not it's part of who I am. At first, I made beats, then I was on shows, helped throw shows, and was in 3 different groups. There was a hiatus..Eventually I understood this is the way it need to be. Besides my daughter…recording and performing is where my passion lies.
24: What was the Hip-Hop scene like for you growing up where you're from?
Vic Freeze: I gotta say this. I only met him a handful of times but he a legend around Cleveland man..
Suave Goddi…made me want to become an emcee. There is a difference between an artist and an emcee. The thing that I like about true emceeing is though somebody might not be your ace, you never know what a bar can do. It can kill a career or it can jumpstart one. So that time frame was amazing to me because I went to the Bone Thugs & Harmony shows, MC Brains, Brothers4theStruggle. There was a whole bunch of cats, I bought they music and went to they shows before I learned how to make music myself. I was a fan. I didn't have to watch MTV or listen to reggie radio all the time. I felt linked in with flyers, mixtapes, live shows, and clubs ..that was it for me. And it made me want to figure out how can I get my ideas to come out the speaker like dem cats.
There was so much talent around Cleveland back then…and now as well. If you go to Cali..or New York or Atlanta..you meet Cleveland transplant..We definitely out here.
24: What makes you Unique as an artist and different from other Rappers out now?
Vic Freeze: Lol..I have done shows in Montana, Idaho, and West Virginia places like that.. not many can say that. Beyond being dope which every artist thinks they are. Underground, conscious, old school, or intelligent…whatever you try to label it at the end of the day it's on somebody playlist and it's a win/win for me. You gotta be willing to invest in yourself to put your music out to as many people as possible. I had to learn what I wasn't too perfect what I am. And it's helped get my music from Cali to Germany. And I know what I'm not now. I think a lot of artists try to be too much. I've heard people say best actor win out. But I'm only best at being me talk or not..it's a market for that. Keep it real with yourself first. The biggest positive I got going for me is people feel something about my content. My lyrics cut across genres, races and generations.
24: Tell us about what you are working on.
Vic Freeze: Eventually, I'm going to do another solo album in 2013. I'm just reaching out working w/ other artists/ producers I think are dope on singles and EP's. Connecting with DJ's and media outlets. Letting people get to know me. Performing and to step up the viral presence. I'm not kidding myself I know this is a business but there's no reason I shouldn't be out here even as a unsigned artist. I gotta get and keep the buzz up. Dot I's and cross T's u know.
24: What producers have you worked with and who would you like to work with in the future?
Vic Freeze: Right now, I ve worked with De-App Did That for Ohio Soundlab.. that's family. As well as my homie Rey Res I met him on tour a couple years ago. He from San Jose. Dude is nasty. Madd Caesar is a production duo that had me out a couple times to Oakland. We vibed out and when I wasn't induced into a THC coma we recorded Oakland, Ohio. Others that left an impression..Chris Avery, IQ, Malcolm Lee. As well as the dudes that produced "4 Da Guap", Clockwork Muzik in Cleveland. I m not gonna act like they haven't been a good look. A breath of fresh air is more like it..sometime as artists we just need a little inspiration and the canvas start getting wet up, lol. For the record I'll do it but I don't like the sendspace, dropbox shit. It's necessary but when possible I just hop in the whip or be in the wind to track out. Let's knock out a session or two during a weekend and everybody wake up Monday and keep it movin, lol. Those are things you never forget. Hmm..in the future. If I had a choice ..honestly there are still some people in Cleveland I haven't caught up with yet. It's a dude named Phenom that all my homies have at least one track from. DJ Besto is dope. Oh I d like to work with the Kickdrums too .That's what's real right now. Thanks for the reminder, I need to make those things happen ASAP. On some "I shook up the world" who wouldn't work with Kanye, Just Blaze, Big K.R.I.T? Or getta a classic Primo beat. That's wet dream territory. One day I guess..but the process won't change for me. You know whether it's right or wrong before you get in the booth.
24: Are you happy with the feedback you have been getting from people on material you have released?
Vic Freeze: A year ago, when I released Reluctant Star I would have said no.
Two years ago I was just doing my first solo vid…I was just trying to get material out.
I don't think nobody was paying any f'in attention. But Oakland,Ohio kinda threw everybody off. I had a single "Hard Times" that charted on Internet Radio and I actually had to start checking my inbox, lol. It was more of a concept project..electro, downtempo, and it got me some burn. But I think I did my due diligence, studied, and worked doubles and triples to make this shit take off. Life has a way of evening things out. People been listening/ commenting/ watchin'..u know its love and hate. But it's way better than being ignored..Who makes music for people not to feel anything. If it ain't making you feel some kinda of way then u need to get back in the lab. Point blank.
24: In today's free download age, what do you need to do to make yourself a household name?
Vic Freeze: Understand that "a household name" is a brand. Bumped my head a couple of times, but I got that point. I'm headed in the right direction. Definitely want to keep creating a movement beyond music where people spend they money because they believe and want to be a part of it. My job is to stay consistent. Keep the product A1 and make sure I m easy to find when people check for me or they will check for somebody else.
24: How do you feel about the current state of the Hip-Hop scene?
Vic Freeze: You can hear the music changing. IN CLEVELAND..it's amazing..a little watered down like everywhere else but there are a lot of artists that get it. And people are coming out…and not to support just they groups. I went to the Ohio Hip-Hop Awards this year and that was a like a new life for me. (Promoters, artists, producers, managers, brand designers, and media people) There's a support system that wasn't there when I started or damn.. maybe I wasn't paying attention.
Overall, I think it trend both ways. For the naysayers, I say you got control over some stuff.
What? nobody turn off the radio no more..or reload the iPod or change the channel. Or delete the f'in spam…Or even get the hook off the stage no more? It must not be whack if you buying show tickets.
Maybe you just like whack shit, lol. Seriously though..there are some ultra talented emcees and some groundbreaking, mind altering messages and music taking place as well. Like anything else out here some of its in your face..some of it you gotta google and search for or you might just go down the street in your town and watch some history. I just been walking into shows in Cleveland lately to soak up the ambiance. That's just how I am. I enjoy hip-hop and like watching what it mean to them. People still lazy..but people still grind. You do still have a choice who and what to support. Honestly, it don't really bother me though cuz without all the garbage, we wouldn't feel the way you do about all the dope shit. (Pause) Do I wish dudes would stay creative? Sure I do..but we
do live in a copy & paste society and we wouldn't be doing this interview if you thought everybody was next.
24: Outside of the music, what else are you currently working on?
Vic Freeze: Right now ..Working on helping getting my daughter situated. Sometime life throw
you a curveball..I have responsibilities and I gotta make sure she good. There are things bigger than music. Other than that I wanna hit the road w/ the homie DJ Jack da Rippa "Dust Attics Tour" to really say it's official. This weekend warrior crap needs to be over. If I'm out here..I want to be out here.
24: Where do you see yourself going in 2013 and how do you plan to separate yourself from the other artists out today to get the recognition you feel you deserve?
Vic Freeze: Continue to grow and keep our pockets correct. I've learned respect earned is usually respect given. #Buzz. Being everywhere and nowhere, rocking 2 or 20000. Being a link in the chain when I have to and layin the foundation to continue to build a future for my brand, music partners, family, friends , fans. I want people to stop and listen when I'm on something I truly feel like that's possible even with all the competition. With that said.. take advantage of opportunities like
this one and make the best of them..u know..Things will shake. They already shaking.

24: Thank you for providing 24HourHipHop.com with this exclusive interview, do you have any last words for your present and future?
Vic Freeze: Yeah G, I owe a lot of people that looked out when they didn't have to..they know who they are. And like it or not we are participating in another "Renaissance of Hip-Hop".

Review: 2013 Never Summer Cobra (Leo)
So... this is my second season riding Never Summer snowboards. I've been very happy with the Proto and Evo and I've been riding the ish out of them. I was obviously stoked to hear about a completely new NS board in the works. Initial email exchanges revealed a less than likable graphics. NS has since redesigned the graphics and while plenty are still indifferent, I dig it. Alright, enough small talk, let's get to it.
Board: 2013 Never Summer Cobra 158
Bindings: 2011 Rome 390 Boss L/XL
Boots: 2011 Burton Restricted Hail 9.5 US
Stance: +18/-12 Regular @ 23.5"
I am 5'9, 180lbs.
The Cobra is a hair past mid-flex and stiffer through the tips. Torsionally a bit stiffer as per my experience with the carbonium line.
Right off the bat I'm going to say the tail swings around super easy. It actually caught me off guard at first ride. The Cobra does in fact have a blunted spade tail. While not a tapered shape, the tail does taper off from the widest point more than the nose. It also has a later kick. All of this combined with the setback stance is what gives the tail its handling properties. In short, the Cobra is great for paint brushing turns.
My first day on the Cobra was on hardpack powder. The slopes got hit with about a foot over the prior two days so snow conditions on the day I rode were great. I easily hit 42mph on a blue run without even trying. The Cobra was plenty stable without feeling too dead. It's definitely not as lively as the Evo or Proto, but not as damp as the Heritage. The Cobra held and amazing edge and I only encountered a problem when doing a long, drawn out skidded turn at speed. I experienced chatter there.
I was able to take the Cobra through some MI glade riding with excellent snow conditions. The hill got about 8" of dry pow the night before and there were plenty of untracked pow stashes in the trees. I was initially on the Proto and swapped out for the Cobra. Let me tell you, the Cobra loves the pow. It was literally destroying everything in it's path. Even though the Cobra is stiffer than the Evo (my choice for these tree runs), I was able to turn on a dime because of the aforementioned shape. These conditions and terrain are where the Cobra shined for me. It kept planing on top of the snow even in the slower areas. The earlier rise in the nose also helped for riding over buried branches and whatnot. I would still choose the Evo for glades under normal conditions for some freestyle shenanigans though. However, if there's pow, I am grabbing the Cobra without hesitation.
I've also come across concern that this is a big mountain board and people have questioned whether or not it's worth having in a place like LP Michigan. I don't care what anyone says. The Cobra works really well on the groomers too. I did take it down moguls and although my mogul riding isn't the best, I was able to navigate the the tight lines. The Cobra has no problem handling groomers and you can get some scary speeds on this thing. Don't listen to anyone that tells you that you have no business on a Cobra for a small East Coast hill. The Cobra is a great board to lay carves down on. Just tilt on an edge and put in work. Handled all the blacks I threw at it well including ones with mogul fields. Again, it's not as damp or beastly as the Heritage though.
Not the Cobra's strong suit. I hit plenty of boxes and did a few tree jibs (even breaking one after landing ass first on it) and it wasn't as lively as I would like. Felt very minimal input from board to feet on jibs. Butters aren't the Cobra's strong suit, but doable.
Lots of it. In fact, I'm going to say the Cobra has more pop than the Proto in the tail. Just try an ollie while maching and see what I mean.
I definitely like this board. It's nice to know that I have a board to go to for powder days and future visits out west. The Cobra's shape definitely lends it unique handling characteristics compared to NS's other rides. Just be cautious with switch riding. I almost want to say that it's better to lean back a little during switch on this board. If you put pressure on the tail while switch, it feels washy.
I would not recommend this board for a beginner or even a new intermediate. Advanced intermediate and above all-mountain shredders are welcome. The Cobra can also handle a sprinkle of freestyle.
Let me know if you have any questions. As always, thanks for reading.

So, I dinged my side mirror backing out of the garage yesterday. I may opt to just live with it, but figured how much it would cost to either replace a part on it or the whole unit. I figured I'd start here for direction.
The clear glasslike plastic that houses the light is cracked. I barely hit it, but it was enough to crack it. Let me know if anyone has parts for sale or can point me where to find them.
Thanks in advance

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/7/2014 (1071 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Friends — check.
Meeting place (favourite watering hole!) — check.
Really good time — check.
Safe drive home — check.
Yes, many of us like to go out and have a good time. But if you've indulged in alcoholic beverages, it's not responsible to drive home — nor is it legal.
Now, thanks to some local entrepreneurs, you have another option to get home safely and get your vehicle home as well.
Wheat City Designated Driver Services — also known as Wheat City DD — began offering safe rides back in February.
Jeff Carey, his fiancée Tara Teall, and Tara's brother, Tanner Teall, are excited about their new business venture.
"I drive truck and I heard an ad one day on the radio for a similar service that was being offered in Ontario," Carey said. "As Brandon continues to grow, I thought this would work really well here."
The key, he said, is that customers get home safely in the comfort of their own vehicle and don't have to worry about leaving it anywhere. Drivers are insured and bondable and offer a flat rate for a direct trip within the city of Brandon (other options are also available).
You can reserve your ride ahead of time or call 204-717-5100 for immediate service.
A lifelong resident of Brandon, Carey said their business is home-based right now, but they hope it will grow with time.
"Our biggest challenge is educating everyone on what we offer," he said. "Because it's a new type of service, it'll take time for it to catch on."
For more information, find Wheat City DD on Facebook and on Twitter @wheatcitydd.
Solidifying new grounds
Western Concrete Products has relocated part of their business — what is referred to as the Block Yard — to a new location.
This concrete company has been in Brandon at 1920 Park Ave. since 1953. General manager Fred Kennell said the new location at 1540-14th St. East makes more sense.
"It's a way better location for a concrete company," Kennell said. "Brandon pretty much grew around the concrete plant; when it first opened, there was field almost all around the business."
The Block Yard offers a variety of products for commercial or retail sale, including bricks, paving stones, mulch, black dirt and crushed rock.
Kennell said the three- to five-year plan includes moving the entire concrete plant.
Two years ago, Western Concrete Products amalgamated with C&C Construction Ltd. and Allen and Bolack Excavating to form the All West Group. These businesses are also operating at the new location.
Keeping kids busy
Shoppers Mall is looking for organizations and businesses that provide youth with extracurricular activities to participate in the second annual Clubs For Kids registration event.
It will be held on Saturday, Aug. 23, from 9:30 a.m. to
6 p.m. at Shoppers Mall.
Clubs For Kids is a great opportunity for any organization to receive complimentary exposure and provides a central location to gather registrations prior to the start of the 2014-15 school year.
<t-2.5>To receive a registration package, contact mall
guest services supervisor Samantha Wells at firstname.lastname@example.com or 204-728-3255.<t$>
Happy anniversary!
Coffee Culture at 501 First St. is celebrating its first anniversary this month.
After taking a couple of years to put together, the popular coffee shop and eatery opened in Brandon on July 12, 2013. Franchise owner Lori Versavel says it has been an interesting year.
"It's been a lot of fun, but we've also had a super steep learning curve," she said. "Overall, it's been a really good year; I feel like I'm quite a bit more solid and things just keep getting better and better."
Versavel had been retired for a number of years from the Western Medical Clinic after working as an administrator for 17 years. She had heard from a friend about this Canadian franchise that started in Ontario. Versavel did some research, really liked what she saw and pursued it.
"People, hospitality and food is what I like more than anything, it's a good fit," she said. "It's been quite a wild ride, but I really lucked out on staff, we have a good team and hats off to them for helping to make it work."
