hello, I've been growing a beard for about 6 months with about 2 thorough trims in between. I usually shave clean in the summer but i decided to go the distance since for a whole uninterrupted year. my question is i want to wash me beard more often and I have come to the conclusion that sulfate shampoos are bad, they are cheap but i think i will start putting more money in a good shampoo and use it more effectively each rinse. right now im going through what I have left but mixing it with joba joba oil. I really like the results, my beard feels smooth but there is a bit of grease not bread stick thick but a little. I don't want things complicated so I have been looking for a shampoo that is made with Joba Joba oil that would be good for my head and beard. However I have had a hard time finding a good economical shampoo that is made with Joba Joba oil. I have tried putting the oil in my regular shampoo but it don't think its doing the trick. there are, however, alot of reasonably priced organic shampoos made with argan oil. i have done research and read threads before posting to stop some redundancy . some suggest applying straight oil t to the beard after showering, but i would prefer yo a shampoo in the shower. some thread suggest shampooing from every three days or even longer to avoid stripping oils etc. I personally think my beard would feel and look better if i cleaned it with something everyday, i know i would definitively feel cleaner and i probably would just do it out of ritual reflex anyway and i do like the feel of good lather on my beard in the morning. I figure if i use a non sulfate organic shampoo it won't hurt my beard hair if i do it every day.
my beard is at the longest hair about 2-3 inches all around
i would rather wash and let it shape itself. i have been careful and conscious about the shape and everything and sometimes spending too much time in the mirror. im kinda getting sick of it. i grow a beard for one reason really, because I can
i can't say for certain what answer Im expecting, usually people ask a question just to hear the word yes but I'm open minded.

Does the capital gain include the original purchase price ot the second home? If I purchase a rental property (second home) for 100k and sell it for 200K do I pay on the whole 200K or just the profit?
First and foremost, a second home is NOT the same as an investment property. Good news is that you don't pay capital GAINS on the purchase price, just the appreciation when you sell an investment property. Second home capital gains are treated differently, but if it's been rented, it's investment…..
One way to offset capital gains tax on investment property (one that generated rental income) is to complete a 1031 Exchange. This can be a really smart move if you intend to take the profits and reinvest them into another similar property. A 1031 Exchange differs capital gains taxes.

Communication Needs
Authors: Julie Maro and Lori Tufte
Designing quality programs for students who have AAC needs involves engineering communication environments, organizing and training team members, and developing appropriate lessons and materials. Strategies for achieving these goals will be presented.
Where to Begin
Communication is a Process - Not a Product
Professionals often indicate that a particular student's main challenge is their inability to communicate. While this may be true, we must then ask "Communicate about what?". This question allows us to identify the tasks and situations which need to be set up or "engineered" for communication.
So, where do you begin?
Getting the Team on Board
For AAC implementation to be successful, we need to have all people that interact with the student aware of and able to facilitate the use of AAC systems and strategies. This is an incredibly challenging process but can be accomplished with careful planning and a large amount of communication between team members. The days when the speech pathologist created the AAC boards/systems down in 'their room' and then handed them to parents and staff have given way to joint ownership of AAC system maintenance and development by wide array of people. How is this accomplished?
Engineering the Environment
The idea of "engineering the environment" comes from the monumental work of Carol Goossens', Ph.D., CCC-SLP, Sharon Sapp Crain, M.S., CCC-SLP and Pamela S. Elder, M.A., CCC-SLP.
These authors present a systematic approach to planning where, when and how to get student's communicating in various environments.
The initial implementation phase includes an intensive period of modeling communication board use by the teachers, aides, parents, therapists and other individuals who have significant contact with the students. This approach encompasses using the communication boards both expressively and receptively throughout the day.
For additional information and resources, please see the following books:
These resources can be found in many local assistive technology lending libraries and/or purchased through companies such as:
Considering AAC
When considering the use of an AAC system for a student we need to take into account normal speech and language development as well as some of the common myths about AAC use.
Speech & Language Development
Any child whose speech and language skills are not developing normally or who has a condition making normal speech development unlikely may be a candidate for an augmentative/alternative communication system. It is critical to note that introducing AAC does NOT mean we are "giving up on speech".This common misperception will be addressed in more detail later.
As practitioners consider the use of augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) strategies it is important to remember that AAC is a form of communication that all children use as they develop speech and language skills. For example, pointing to desired objects, gesturing, and using non-speech vocalizations. Using speech and language principles to develop appropriate goals and objectives for AAC students helps practitioners incorporate speech, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics objectives into their lessons.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association website provides guidelines for normal speech and language development in children. If you have concerns in any of these areas, please seek the advice of a certified speech-language pathologist.
Another site that provides information on normal speech and language development is KidSource where you can find answers to questions such as:
The Barkley Memorial Augmentative Alternative Communication website created by the University of Nebraska at Lincoln also includes a section: AAC Connecting Young Kids - YAACK. This section includes another excellent description of normal speech and language development. If children are not achieving these developmental milestones, it may be time to consider using AAC.
Common Myths About Using AAC
Reality: Research and clinical practice has shown that AAC systems do not interfere with speech development. In fact, many children demonstrate an increase in language, speech and communication skills once an AAC system is introduced. Proposed reasons for this include:
For additional information:
What we are learning about early learners and augmentative communication and assistive technology. (L. Burkhart)
Does AAC Impede Natural Speech - and other Fears - Includes a chart containing:
Reality: From the moment a baby is born, they hear and respond to the spoken word. We bombard that infant with language for the first 12-18 months of their lives. During that time, we do not expect that they will utter a single understandable word.
Why then do we expect a child to spontaneously begin using an augmentative system from the first day they receive it? They too, need and deserve a period of learning from the models of others. This modeling can and should be done by parents, peers, siblings, professionals and others on a regular basis for an extended period of time. In this manner, the system becomes not only an expressive language tool but a receptive one as well.
Reality: There are many types of augmentative communication systems. These range from gestures and sign to simple battery operated systems to high-tech devices. The best approach for students who require AAC is to have a menu of multiple systems. For example, the student may have a vocalization that means "yes", a gesture for "hello", a simple system that plays messages one at a time for greeting friends in the hall. They may also have another device for carrying on more complex conversations. No one system can and should "do it all".
Remember: AAC Competency Takes Time!
What we are Learning about Early Learners and Augmentative Communication and Assistive Technology - (L. Burkhart)
Getting Past Learned Helplessness for Children Who Face Severe Challenges: Four Secrets for Success- (L. Burkhart)
American Speech-Language-Hearing Association - Augmentative Communication Information Section contains:
Vocabulary Selection
Determining Appropriate Vocabulary
Begin with the following activity to create a communication board:
Look at the vocabulary you selected. Did you have any of the following?
eat _______drink_______ bathroom
Frequently, eat, drink and bathroom are among the first vocabulary items chosen by parents and professionals. Communication boards are then constructed to represent these messages and the child does not use them. The child is then accused of "not being ready for a communication system" or "not liking communication boards" and the idea of their using an AAC system is abandoned.
Taking a closer look at this scenario, we typically find that the child's basic needs such as eating, drinking and toileting are taken care of regardless of whether they request it or not. Thus, the child is left with little motivation or need to communicate these messages.
Motivation Formula
Bruce Baker developed the following formulation to identify the factors inherent in communication motivation. Each of the formula components are defined as follows:
Physical effort: This takes into consideration the amount of energy required to produce the message. This may involve pointing to a picture or series of letters. It could also mean pressing a switch once or multiple times as in the case of a communicator who has significant physical challenges.
Cognitive Effort: Involves remembering where a message is located and/or coded.
Time: refers to how long it takes to produce the message.
If the motivation to communicate a message is greater then the physical effort, cognitive effort and time required to produce it, then communication will occur. If not, no message will be generated.
Jenny is a 7 year old child who has cerebral palsy. She requires assistance going to the bathroom. Everyday she is toileted at 10:15. It is 10:05 and she has to go to the bathroom. Rather than using her switch to scan to a message that says "I need to go to the bathroom", she waits 10 minutes for a classroom assistant to take her to the rest room.
Jenny loves to interact socially with others. She has a communication system that produces sequential single messages. Jenny sees a friend in the hallway at school. She presses her sequential communicator to talk to her friend about a TV show they both watch.
Ideas for creating these "social scripts" have been compiled by Linda J. Burkhart and Caroline Ramsey Musselwhite. See communication social scripts for more information.
Vocabulary Selection Goal
Influencing factors to consider when selecting vocabulary include:
When selecting initial vocabulary for an augmentative system, keep in mind the following goals:
Core vs. Activity-Based Vocabularies
Core vocabularies represent a core of words identified as being important for a student to express across activities and environments. The core vocabulary is the main communication system that travels with the student, being available whenever other activity-based vocabularies are not represented. The fact that the vocabulary can be used across multiple situations builds in opportunities for repeated practice and generalization of the child's core vocabulary.
The following pictures show two overlays for a student's AAC system. The "Core" overlay is placed on the system whenever it is not being used for a specific activity. The student uses "The Picnic" overlay when reading a book by the same title. Notice the bottom four vocabulary items remain constant across both overlays.
Concluding Thoughts
Consider the following when designing communication systems for children:
Representing Vocabulary
Myth: Pictures are easy!
This is a common misperception among professionals and parents. Let's take the following quiz and see if you still think pictures are easy.
Representing Vocabulary
Evaluating Pictures
(Consider Picture Representation From the Student's Perspective)
Words can be divided into:
Representing Vocabulary
Selecting Symbols
"Much of the magic of AAC lies in the vast array of symbols and signals, other than those used in speech, that people can employ to send messages. Especially for individuals who cannot read or write, the ability to represent messages and concepts in alternative ways is central to communication."
A variety of symbols can be used to represent the messages a student needs to communicate. "Symbols" refer to something that "stands for something else". The actual "symbol" used can be anything from real objects to photos to line drawings to other forms of picture symbols.
Considerations when selecting a symbol system include:

Flaking and itching in dogs is very common, especially short haired breeds. Many times the issue is not just dry skin, but dog dandruff is also at play. So what is the difference between dandruff and good old fashioned dog dry kin? Well dandruff when skin cells reproduce, which is completely natural. As the new skin cells form, the old, dead skin cells are forced to the outer surface of the dog's skin. As these old cells form on the outer surface they flake off causing dogs dandruff. The correct medical name for dandruff on dogs is Canine Pityriasis Capitis.
A small amount of dandruff will always occur and should not alarm for cause. If however you notice excessive dog dandruff or flaking there may be a skin or gland problem that needs to be taken care of. Canine Seborrheic Dermatitis is a more severe dog skin condition which causes not only excessive build up, but also inflamed skin (dogs skin irritation.) When puppies have this, it is referred to as puppy dandruff.
So, how do you tell if your pet is experiencing dogs seborrheic dermatitis, or common dandruff that should be treated? If you notice 2 or more of the following the dandruff should be treated:
- 1. Your dog is scratching quite a lot
- 2. You notice excessive flaking and white dander on your dog, that does not go away after an hour. Let me explain this one: when dogs get nervous one place they show it is on their skin and coat in the form of small white dander. This dander will go away in a few hours if it is caused by temporary anxiety, fear or nerves.
- 3. You notice skin irritations or even dog hot spots
- 4. Your dog is biting his hind quarters often and you notice dry skin in that area
- 5. You notice oily patches, or what looks like a buildup of oily dead skin cells.
- 6. The dandruff looks more like crust than ordinary flaking
If you notice one of these, chances are you should use a dog dandruff treatment option. So how do we go about treating dogs dandruff? First, let me say that if you notice hot spots that seem severe, or a skin problem that looks like more serious, make a visit to your veterinarian as well to be safe along with your dog dandruff treatment. Now, we recommend using a medicated dog shampoo that is formulated just for animals. One with a base of oatmeal and aloe vera will have a perfect ph balance and provide great moisturizing relief. As far as the medication in the shampoo, the best for a dog is zinc-pca as it is very effective at regulating dandruff and oil production, at the same time it is not too harsh for a dogs skin which is very different than that of a humans. Never use a human's dandruff shampoo or coal tar. As dog dandruff is a constant reoccurring condition, as the skin turns itself over, it is also important to give your dog a daily supplement of digestive enzymes which will help rebalance the dogs skin so that it does not replace cells at an excessive rate.
So by using a quality dog dandruff treatment medicated shampoo, as well as digestive enzymes you will be on the road to beautiful and healthy looking dog that is pain free! With the dogs shampoo you should see results within 2 bathes. The enzymes will show a noticeable difference in 3-weeks time. With the enzymes you will also notice an overall improvement in the health and mood of your dog!

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL -- Sega Amusements USA is consolidating and reorganizing as part of a larger effort to create cost savings and greater efficiencies. To implement the strategy, the American affiliate of Japan's Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. will technically cease operations on July 31. However, according to officials close to Sega Amusements USA, the restructuring is simply a matter of reassigning corporate entities with an eye toward savings.
Sega's U.S. workforce will be reduced from 15 full-time people to 12. Operations will relocate on Aug. 1 to a smaller facility in Wood Dale, IL, one mile from present Sega Amusements USA headquarters here.
All email addresses, fax and phone numbers will remain the same. Sega Amusements USA's website is undergoing an upgrade to fireproof it against hacking of the type that occurred in recent weeks at the Sega Japan sites, but it will remain active at the same address -- SegaArcade.com.
"This is a good move for Sega and our customers. It will reduce significant overhead by cutting facilities cost and consolidating management," a senior level Sega official told VT. "But American operators will still call the same numbers and talk to the same people they deal with now. From the operator's point of view, it will be business as usual."
Parts and service for North and South America will be taken over by PlayIt Amusements, a new company led by Hiram Gonzalez, who is chief financial officer at Sega Amusements USA. PlayIt Amusements will support past, present and future Sega lines and all product brought into the U.S. under the Sega banner. It will also support equipment that is made by third-party developers but marketed and sold by Sega. The new KeyMaster, which is sourced from a Korean manufacturer, is an example of one of many third-party machines represented by Sega.
Sega's Peter Gustafson, Tom Keil and Vince Moreno will continue to handle sales, the official said. However, the U.S. marketing and sales effort will officially be under the direction of Sega Amusements Europe, based in London. As of Aug. 1 that company will cover North and South America in addition to its European territories.
Products will ship from the point of manufacture. For example, the Grid driving videogames will ship from the UK and Sonic redemption games will ship from Wisconsin, where a subcontractor builds them.
Sega has added a lot of third-party product to its amusement machine lineup over the past year, and the new organization will continue to develop this area. These include redemption novelties, coin pushers, prize merchandisers and photobooths. Overseas, Sega Europe represents products made by Andamiro, Fantasy Entertainment and ICE, among other factories, but these lines, represented by U.S.-based distributors, will not be sold in the U.S. by Sega's European division or PlayIt Amusements.
More information on Sega amusement products can be had by emailing to Tom.Keil, Vince.Moreno or Peter.Gustafson, all @sau.sega.com.

Apple was admired even before Wednesday's introduction of its iPad 2 tablet , as the company finished atop Fortune's list of the World's 50 Most Admired Companies for the fourth consecutive year.
Other companies from the tech and media sectors that made the list were: Google (No. 2), Amazon.com (7), Microsoft (9), IBM (12), Disney (14), Cisco Systems (28), Intel (32), Samsung Electronics (38), Netflix (40), eBay (45), Sony (46), and Oracle (48).
Shelley DuBois wrote in the entry for Apple:
Apple took a stock hit when iconic CEO Steve Jobs announced in January that he'd be taking a second medical leave, two years after receiving a liver transplant during a six-month sabbatical. But Jobs assured the market in the company's recent earnings report that Apple was still "firing on all cylinders."
It certainly appears to be. Apple nearly doubled its quarterly profits vs. a year ago. The iPad 2 was introduced in March, marking the second generation of one of Apple's milestone product successes. And Jobs made a surprise appearance at the launch.
Another huge move by Apple was the announcement this January that the iPhone 4 would be available from Verizon, offering another option to consumers frustrated with dropped calls on AT&T.

When he came to WSU from Fresno's Edison High in 2005, Hall was rated by most services as one of the top 15 or 16 prep quarterbacks in the nation. His No. 7 ranking by ESPN.com made him the highest-rated national QB prospect to sign with Washington State since Mark Rypien in 1981.
Via cyberspace, Hall's first 15 months on the Palouse took on a certain intrigue as his dad periodically chimed in that his son wasn't getting a fair shot to compete.
"He was just being a father," Hall said. "I didn't even know about some of the stuff he was saying."
While his proud pop has been low-profile of late, the commentaries had some fans speculating that Arkelon (pronounced are-KEY-lun) might transfer.
"I'm happy here," he said Friday. "I'm not leaving. I chose WSU for a reason. I just have to be patient."
Hall said quarterback coach Timm Rosenbach has been mentor on and off the field. Hall is touched when Rosenbach "says I remind him of him a bit" at this age.
Observers of Pullman High athletics in the early 80s, where Rosenbach was a three-sport standout, remember his beaming self confidence. After his third year at WSU -- when he threw 24 interceptions -- he appeared more grounded. He even asked head coach Dennis Erickson if could move to the defensive side of the ball. Erickson, of course, said no and the rest is part of Quarterback U history.
Hall redshirted in 2005 and came out of spring ball 2006 locked in a dead-heat with Cole Morgan for the No. 3 slot behind junior Alex Brink and sophomore Gary Rogers. But in August, in the first scrimmage of fall camp, the pocket collapsed around Hall as he was passing and he went down. "I knew right away it wasn't good, but I didn't think it was too bad," he said.
What initially was believed to be a high ankle sprain was in fact a broken fibula. Hall was on crutches for nearly three weeks and in a walking cast for six. He returned to practice at mid-season, working first on the scout team and then joining the travel squad starting with the UCLA game. The leg hurt, Hall said, but he was just glad to be back in uniform.
Hall said the forced time off led to soul searching and a truer assessment of his development so far. "I'm grown up now," he says. "To be a college quarterback, knowing everything there is to know or expect, on offense and defense, is necessary. It takes more than a strong arm and leadership skills. Coach Rosenbach will ask us questions during practice -- you don't want to get caught with 'uh...uh...' for an answer."
Today, with the sun officially set on the 2006 campaign, the 6-1, 203-pound Hall says he looks forward to the spring season and is preparing himself in all respects. "I'm back to 100 percent, or close to it, and will be ready for spring ball. I'm in the film room studying, out passing -- I need to work on my touch -- and working hard on explosive drills."
He's doing the explosive work -- running with a parachute, jumping while wearing a weighted vest, etc. -- on Mondays and Wednesdays, while agility workouts are every Tuesday and Thursday. He's throwing the ball all the time, and says three of his frequent targets -- Benny Ward, Finas Rabb and Trevor Mooney -- are looking sharp.
"I know the first and second spots are set, but I'm preparing with the mindset that I'm going to be the starter -- that's how you have to prepare," he said.
The competition for the No. 3 job looks to be a wide open affair with three bona fide contenders in Hall, Morgan and Kansas State transfer Kevin Lopina. All will be third-year sophomores in 2007. Morgan was the No. 3 guy this past season, but saw action in just one game (Idaho) and didn't throw a pass. Lopina, a top prep prospect out of California in 2005, handled the bulk of the Cougars' scout team work this year.
While all five of the Cougar QBs are fierce competitors, Hall said, the bottom line is that they stick together. "We're a group. We're all friends. We're competitors, sure, but we're all cool with each other."

Yes, I'm also having this problem. I have two copies of Webware on my

out via anonymous pserver. The SSH version has AllTests.py in it, but
the anonymous one does not. Is there anything funny with sourceforge

The Redskins and the rest of the NFL have until 4 p.m. today to use the franchise tag on a player due to hit the free agent market. As of Monday morning, it didn't appear likely that Washington would do so.
The Redskins used the franchise tag on tight end Fred Davis last season, awarding him a one-year contract worth $5.4 million. Davis, who is rehabilitating from surgery to repair a torn left Achilles' tendon, is up for a new contract, but the Redskins seem content to avoid using the franchise tag on him for a second consecutive year.
The Redskins have another 18 players with expiring contracts, but given their limited resources as they work to get under the salary cap and create some room for free agent signings, it doesn't appear that they will use the tag on any of those players either.
People with knowledge of the situation said Washington hasn't given any indication it would use the franchise tag designation this season.
The NFL's free agent negotiation period begins Saturday, and teams are allowed to sign players from other teams any time after 4 p.m. March 12. The Redskins are permitted to strike deals with any of their own players before then.
Is there a Redskins or NFL topic you'd like to talk about? Start a discussion in our new Redskins forum.

COLLEGE PARK, Md.
-- Missing its best player, Duke didn't skip a beat in a surprisingly easy victory over a ranked conference foe.
Elizabeth Williams
scored 16 points and the No. 5 Blue Devils shook off the absence of injured point guard
Chelsea Gray
to beat No. 8 Maryland 75-59 on Sunday, clinching its fourth straight Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title.
"It certainly is an honor to be the regular season champion," said Duke coach
Joanne P. McCallie
. "I think that's the hardest one to win because it says a team has gone through a season -- again, with injury or other things happening -- and really been consistent. I think that's really a special thing for our team."
Alexis Jones
Haley Peters
Tricia Liston
each added 15 points for the Blue Devils (26-1, 16-0), who won their 10th straight game and completed a season sweep against the Terrapins (22-5, 13-3).
Duke improved to 6-1 against ranked opponents and more than made up for the absence of Gray.
The Blue Devils won their second straight game without Gray, the All-American who sustained a season-ending dislocated right kneecap Feb. 17 against Wake Forest. The win gave the Blue devils a 40-39 advantage in the all-time series.
"This team has really grown tough and resilient," said McCallie.
In the middle of Sunday's victory was Jones, a freshman called upon to fill in for Gray whose point total represented a career high.
"I wouldn't say (it was) a coming-out party," Jones said. "I've been really humbled and just learning from the juniors. ... Just take the role of listening to them and also feeding off my energy."
McCallie said Jones "went to another level" against the Terrapins, scoring 13 second-half points.
"To have a freshman point guard come into this environment ... and do what she did is almost unheard of, really," the coach said.
Tianna Hawkins had 16 points and nine rebounds for Maryland, which had won three consecutive games since a 71-56 loss at Duke on Feb. 11. Alyssa Thomas added 14 points.
The Terrapins, who shot 34.8 percent from 3-point range entering the game, were 3 for 18 from beyond the arc.
Four Blue Devils scored during a 9-0 run midway through the first half, when Maryland went cold from the floor, failing to score in more than 6 1/2 minutes.
"We can't have the lapses that we had this game," Hawkins said, adding that the Terrapins weren't physical enough during that stretch. "We have to give maximum effort."
Liston had 10 first-half points and Duke led 37-25 at halftime.
What began as an up-tempo defensive struggle turned quickly after a baseline jumper by Hawkins put Maryland up 11-10 with 15:26 remaining in the first half.
Richa Jackson
's basket started the Blue Devils on a 9-0 burst, as the Terps missed their next six shots from the floor and committed three turnovers before Thomas' jumper halted the run.
Peters nailed a 3-pointer, Williams dropped in a running right-side bank shot and
Allison Vernerey
followed up her own miss to conclude the decisive burst for a 19-11 Duke lead.
Maryland finished the opening 20 minutes 12 of 31 (38.7 percent) from the field, including 0 for 9 from beyond the arc, and trailed by as many as 14 points.
"They made it really difficult for us to get easy looks," Thomas said.
Hawkins scored eight of the Terrapins' first 10 points in the second half, with the teams swapping scores early on. Maryland twice got within eight points in the second half, but could not rally.

Endomondo Sports Tracker, one of the better mobile fitness apps I've used, just got more social. So if you're looking for a little positive peer pressure to up your fitness game, this is a good time to check out the Endomondo iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone 7 apps.
Developer Endomondo just revised its apps last week with enhanced Facebook posting. You can now add photos, tag friends you worked out with and add status updates that show up in your Facebook Timeline (and your Endomondo online news feed). Most, if not all, fitness apps have social-sharing features, but Endomondo kicked it up a notch.
Social media aside, Endomondo is a good choice for runners, walkers, basketball players and other athletes. A large on-screen "Start" button is a plus; surprisingly, not all fitness apps make it easy to start tracking a workout.
Another positive: The free apps let you sync a heart-rate monitor using your phone's Bluetooth. (I synced a Mio Alpha heart-rate monitor/watch with the app.) Endomondo also provides stats on your average and maximum heart rate.
Endomondo's premium service gives you a graph that shows how much time you spent in five heart-rate zones—which, for serious athletes, may be worth the upgrade.
The premium service is reasonably priced, too, at $3 per month or $15 yearly. (RunKeeper charges $5 per month and $20 a year, and MapMyRun costs $30 a year.)
A few beefs: The iOS app has no music controls--a big drawback for people who listen to music during workouts. You can still switch to your iPhone's Music app, fire up a playlist and switch back to Endomondo. But why should you have to?
The Endomondo ecosystem is also a bit confusing. The app is available for free with ads and fewer features, or you can purchase the Pro version for $5 and get additional features including a pedometer and low-power mode. In addition, there's the aforementioned premium subscription service, which adds yet more features and includes the Pro app.
One more quibble: Endomondo apps (free and paid) have an automatic-pause feature. If you stop to, say, chat with a friend you run into on the street, then resume jogging, Endomondo is supposed to pause and resume as you do. In my experience, the app paused but didn't always resume.
Gripes aside, if you're a fitness freak and Facebook fan, you should take the free Endomondo app for a trial run. It's not perfect by any means, but even the free version has lots of valuable features.

vi. Reduce your child's need to work during the school year
I'm a big fan of students working during the summer, but I don't think they should have to work during the school year. Students should be free to work hard in their studies while also participating in sports or social activities.
6 Reasons Not to Start an RESP
RESPs are not for everyone. If you are not in a position to make contributions to an RESP, you should wait before opening one.
Here are some reasons to avoid opening an RESP account:
i. You need to get your finances in order
If you have excessive debts or spend more than you make, you should wait to open an RESP. You might end up cashing in the RESP to pay your bills, defeating the purpose of setting up the RESP in the first place. It is important to get control of your finances and fix the here-and-now before worrying about the future.
ii. Your retirement savings are inadequate
There is no exact amount of retirement savings you should have at any given age, but if you are working full time and don't have any retirement savings, you are not saving enough. The older you are and the less you've saved, the more you should worry about saving for your retirement rather than saving for your child's education. Your child can borrow to pay for her education, but you can't borrow for your retirement.
iii. No extra money in your budget
If your finances are in good order but you don't have any extra money, you obviously can't make RESP contributions. In this case, you might want to consider trimming your budget in order to free up some money for RESP contributions. Another idea is to look at ways to make extra income so that you can save for your child's education.
A great book for money-saving ideas is 397 Ways to Save Money by Kerry Taylor.
iv. Pay-as-they-go educational funding strategy
One common strategy for parents is to pay down all their debts before the child starts school. Once the child starts post-secondary education, there should be lots of extra cash in the budget to pay for education bills. The drawback of this plan is that you don't get any of the juicy RESP grant money.
v. You want your child to pay for part or all of the education
It is reasonable to ask your child to pay for part of her education. The drawback of this plan is that she might end up not going to school or dropping out if the financial burden is too onerous. If the student works part-time during the school year, her grades could be affected. Alternatively, she might graduate with large student debts.
vi. Your children are too old or ineligible for RESP grants
The last year your child can receive a grant in her RESP is the year she turns 17. However, children who are 16 and 17 are only eligible for grants if they meet certain eligibility requirements, which are outlined in Chapter 3: RESP Contributions and Grants. Creating an RESP for a child who is ineligible for the RESP grants has very limited benefits and is likely not worthwhile.
How much should you contribute to an RESP?
The amount you contribute to an RESP is highly dependent on your personal financial circumstances. Here are some things to consider when deciding on your contribution plan.
What are your goals?
Do you want to pay for all of your child's educational costs? Half of them? The more money you want to have available for post-secondary education, the higher the contributions will have to be and the sooner you'll need to start the RESP account.
How many years until they go to school?
If you wait until your children are older to start an RESP account, there will be less time for contributions and investment growth. This means that larger contributions will be required, compared to someone who starts the RESP when the children are young.
How much can you afford?
In order to get the maximum annual RESP grant of $500, you must contribute $2,500 per year or $208.33 per month to the RESP account. The reality is that many people might not be able to spare this much from their budget. My philosophy is that something is infinitely better than nothing, so even if you can only handle $50 per month, you should do it. If your finances improve in the future, you can always increase the monthly contribution. Even if you only contribute $50 per month from when the child is young, that will still add up to a substantial amount by the time the child goes to school.Report Typo/Error

Legally blind blogger working to improve pedestrian safety in Montgomery
Tuesday, July 13, 2010
The great irony for William Smith is that the worse his vision becomes, the more he sees.
There is the bus stop on Fenton Street in Silver Spring, encased by a concrete wall so close to the street that it's nearly impossible for a blind or disabled person to get to. There's the crosswalk where Georgia Avenue forks onto Veirs Mill Road in Wheaton that could pass as a maze. And don't even mention the construction zones that frequently block sidewalks.
Smith, 46, notices such things mainly because of his inability to see them.
The stay-at-home dad is legally blind. He has a progressive eye disorder that inhibits his central vision. But that hasn't stopped him from walking the streets of his Silver Spring neighborhood, camera in hand, to document each and every obstruction.
The hurdles he faces spurred him last year to launch a blog, Montgomery Sideways. There he chronicles the impediments he encounters, raises safety concerns for other disabled residents and lets Montgomery County officials know where they have fallen short.
Smith said he seeks to raise awareness because the problems he finds aren't mere inconveniences. They are roadblocks to something much more precious: his independence.
"Initially, it was just so I could walk around," he said of his blog. "I realize now, stuff like good sidewalks don't happen by themselves. I'm making it matter to people, and if I can make it matter to people, hopefully it will make people do something about it."
The things that Smith notices now haven't always concerned him.
His macular degeneration was diagnosed when he was 14. He still got his driver's license when he turned 16 and buzzed around the streets, not all that worried about the plight of pedestrians.
In 1989, when he was 25, the disease had progressed such that he could no longer drive. He was consigned to getting by on his two feet, which, to his surprise, was liberating.
"Being freed by not driving changes your perception -- it's profoundly sublime," Smith said. "Walking is the most natural thing. You don't need any special equipment. You don't need to buy anything, except for maybe shoes."
Knowing that his vision would continue to decline, Smith and his wife, Kathleen, moved to a house in Silver Spring close to schools, stores and churches. His mission as a self-described ambulatory activist began a dozen years ago with a sidewalk near his house. It was riddled with potholes and, apparently, bad luck.

|Mexican Airspace & ATC Overtime Regulation
Mexico charges for the use of its airspace and
for ATC over-time when pilots use a Mexican
airport after hours.
Mexican regulations are unique in the following ways:
Pilots should be aware that if, during the last 10 years, they made a flight through Mexican airspace that neither took off nor landed in Mexico, they are subject to airspace fees.
Mexico has had regulations for paying over-flight fees for years. However, they were not strictly enforced until the Mexican tax code was changed in December 2011. Since these laws are not published in Mexico's AIP, they have not made their way into third party aviation publications.
If all of your flights that went through Mexican airspace began or ended at a Mexican airport, you do not owe anything, even if you did not buy fuel while you were in Mexico. Only flights through Mexican airspace that did not either begin or end at a Mexican airport are required to pay.
More than likely, YES. Since you flew through Mexican airspace and did not take off or land at a Mexican airport then you are liable for airspace charges.
The SENEAM fee, often referred to as the wing tax, is the fee that is applied to aircraft flying within Mexico in lieu of having to calculate distances and make individual payments to the Mexican government.
Although the DGAC and the airport charge for over-time on the spot, SENEAM is forced to charge for their fees through the current tax system. Even customers who used a handler should check that they do not owe something as most handling companies were not making these payments either.
The Mexican government cannot publish an official list. You will need to consult with an aviation group that has a working relationship with SENEAM, like FltPlan, who can inquire as to your debt and make the payment on your behalf.
Since December of 2011, SENEAM has been forced to implement this law in its entirety and to advise the Mexican tax authorities of outstanding debtors as well as publish a list of these aircraft to all ATC centers and towers throughout the country. If your aircraft is on this list and you attempt to enter Mexican airspace you could be denied entry and forced to fly around the Mexican FIR. A number of aircraft have faced this scenario.
You are liable unless you provide SENEAM with documentation demonstrating the change of ownership. Once you have demonstrated the legal change you will only be liable for flights made after the change of ownership.

Very nice app. Good job.
I have created a similar one but it is a web-application and not desktop.
A few requests:
- Make it possible to add local provider playlists and epg xml files. Some lists are on a network share, and not on the web. If I use \\myserver\folder\myplaylist.m3u it does not work. I get "Bad url" error.
- All of my streams are choppy and do not look good in the video player. My connection is 100mb\100mb. They work fine in xbmc and simple-player.
- Add a keyboard shortcut to change aspect-ratio of the video playing.
- Add a keyboard shortcut to change audio tracks

Rather than making individual time calculations for each measure in an SSAS cube (i.e. YTD, Prior YTD, YTD Variances, etc), one can use a more dynamic approach to time calcs applicable to all measures and save a great amount of dev time and overhead in the process.
1. Create Named Query in DSV:
2. Create the dimension and add it to the Dimension Usage tab of the cube (no relations to the fact will exist)
3. Add the MDX script calculations:
The result!

On Monday, tragedy struck the annual Boston Marathon as there were two explosions near the 26.2 mile race's finish line. Reports surfaced that upwards of 50 people were injured, with "multiple casualties." Also, reports were swirling that some individuals even lost limbs due to the as-yet-unexplained explosions.
While there aren't many details known as to what exactly was the cause of the horrific explosions, a statement was released on the Boston Marathon's Facebook page that read, "There were two bombs that exploded near the finish line in today's Boston Marathon. We are working with law enforcement to understand what exactly has happened."
Celebrities immediately went to Twitter to react to the horrible situation. See what stars like Lucy Hale, Chloe Moretz, and more had to say below.

An interesting and very cool idea coming from Florida-based Solar Energy Initiatives Inc. on setting up job training for laid off/out-of-job workers as solar energy installation and maintenance technicians in Jacksonville.
The company's "Renew the Nation" campaign is being funded in part ($396,000) by the federal stimulus program American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The City of Jacksonville has partnered with Solar Energy for the program. The first class, according to Solar Energy will begin in late October.
The company is also training solar dealers that will sell and install solar systems to homeowners and commercial customers. Of course we wouldn't want phony and incompetent sales people to haphazardly install solar panels in our roofs.
I just hope these new trainees will get jobs as soon as possible so as not to waste their newly acquired skills.

Indiana Theater begins new chapter with familiar fare of movies and music
A new but familiar act has begun for the Indiana Theater, a longtime center for entertainment on downtown Indiana's Philadelphia Street.
Sean Howard and Brian Hemmick have leased the property and have reopened it to offer the same types of programs — live acts and, most recently, movies — that were presented when the building was constructed 89 years ago.
"We are going to approach it as an opportunity to be completely available to the community, and we want to try to offer and be what they need from us," said Howard of the team's mission. "We also want to be diverse in the artists and acts that we bring to town, whether they are local, regional or national.
"Though it may sound impossible, we want to offer something for everyone. If we do that, we will be adding to the culture of the area."
Bands that have performed recently on the Indiana Theater stage represent an eclectic blend of genres — including Baltimore-based Telesma, which describes its format as "psychedelic tribal modern world dance music," and Wisaal, a Michigan-based ensemble that presents Arabic-influenced world music and includes Indiana Area Senior High School alumnus Will Cicola on clarinet.
Scheduled May 3 is a concert by the Bernie Worrell Orchestra with guest artist Jazzam. A keyboardist, composer and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Worrell was a founding member of the 1970s Parliament/Funkadelic groups and performed with the Talking Heads in the 1980s.
Following it's nationwide release last fall, the Steven Spielberg film "Lincoln" recently was screened for local audiences in a one-day engagement at the Indiana Theater.
The timing appears right for the theater's revival as Indiana's downtown district is in the midst of a renaissance.
In addition to restaurants featuring traditional Italian, Mexican, Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisines, there are multiple cafés, an art gallery and a long-running community theater group — the Indiana Players, with its own performance space at the Philadelphia Street Playhouse.
Also, ground recently was broken for the latest phase of downtown Indiana's streetscaping improvements — creation of a space on North Seventh Street for social gatherings, festivals and other events.
And now downtown has its "big" theater back at 637 Philadelphia St. — with new lighting and sound systems, a new projection unit, updated seating and some fresh paint.
Before committing to a lease and sinking about $80,000 into the movie equipment alone, Howard and Hemmick piloted some events and fundraisers last year to test the marketability of the site and to generate some funding for the enterprise.
The reception was great, with a cross-section of patrons attending from the local community, Indiana University of Pennsylvania and surrounding areas.
Howard and Hemmick already had experience and connections in the entertainment industry through their work with Grey Area Productions, an event promotions and production company. The favorable response to their initial events at the Indiana Theater gave the pair confidence to proceed with plans for the Indiana venue.
"Downtown Indiana needs a theater, and it's a shame we've been without one for so long. Theaters have always played a big part in town. That theater in particular has a long history, and thanks to Tom Harley, it was saved and made available to lease," said Mike Reig, a history teacher at Indiana Area Senior High School.
Old newspaper articles archived by the Indiana County Genealogical and Historical Society cite the debut of film in Indiana in 1896 with the presentation of "scenic views representing railway journeys" at Library Hall (later called the Auditorium), at the corner of Church Street and Carpenter Avenue.
By 1913, there were four Indiana theaters serving up live vaudeville acts and moving-picture presentations: the Palace Skating Rink (transformed into a movie house, dance hall or basketball arena when needed), at Nixon and Carpenter avenues; the Dreamland Theater, at Philadelphia and Carpenter; Wonderland, at Philadelphia and Eighth streets; and the Globe Family Theatre, in the 700 block of Philadelphia Street.
The Globe was a nickelodeon theater, and it wasn't long before it was joined by a rival nickelodeon, the Star Theater, which advertised 30-minute programs of pictures taken at major sporting events.
Hit hard by the Depression, theaters found existence difficult. Eventually, Indiana theaters waned to the point that top entertainers and national vaudeville acts took the town off their circuit.
That's where the Indiana Theater and the Ritz (built in the 1920s but renamed the Manos and revamped in 1937) picked up the slack.
According to clippings and materials compiled by Clarence Stephenson at the historical society, the Indiana Theater originally opened on July 18, 1924. It seated 1,100 in the balcony, in theater boxes and on the main floor, which featured an orchestra pit and a large pipe organ for silent films.
The theater was modified in 1928 with the elimination of the balcony, boxes and pipe organ making way for three floors of office space. The theater's owner, Adda Elkin, died, in 1934, and the following year the venue was sold to a Greensburg amusement company.
The theater was altered again in 1936, when 747 larger seats were installed for more comfortable and longer viewing. The old projectors that were prone to fire during extended use were replaced with the latest technology. The theater reflected the new wave of "big" movie houses that ran major motion pictures while continuing to host live acts.
The updated Indiana Theater attracted big name comedy acts such as ventriloquist Edgar Bergen with Charlie McCarthy.
As the "golden age" of cinema and the star-making studio system peaked in the 1940s, business boomed for movie theaters, and the Indiana Theater was no different.
Among the stars was Indiana native Jimmy Stewart, who returned home in 1945 a decorated World War II pilot and hero. Life magazine featured Stewart, with the Indiana Theater in full view, signing autographs for a flock of swooning teenage girls.
Cornering the Philadelphia Street movie theater market in the 1960s, the Manos chain acquired the Indiana Theater. Then, by the mid-1970s, multiplex theaters in malls were beginning to emerge. The last first-run movie was shown before the Indiana Theater faded to black in 1980.
Randy Rapach bought the building in 1983. With the first-floor theater sitting idle for about a quarter of a century and time withering it away, Rapach had plans of converting the first floor to a parking area.
Indiana architect Tom Harley intervened in 2000 and purchased the theater. He and his partners at VRB Associates invested $625,000 in the property.
At about the time theater renovations began in 2001, Sean Howard was just graduating from Indiana Area Senior High. Howard said he was aware of the theater's long history and that he is proud he is now helping to write a new chapter in that legacy.
"The community has been very supportive, and I wouldn't have come this far without their help," said Howard. "I also wouldn't have been able to pull any of this off without the help of my associates and those close to me."
With the new tenants have come additional updates, including 320 reupholstered seats. Professional-grade L.E.D. lighting (executed by Howard's company, Cosmic Colors) and sound equipment was installed for live acts and shows. A high-definition multimedia projector has been added to stream movies on the big screen.
"The only movies we won't show are first-run movies," said Howard.
As the partners build the business in phases, concessions are planned, "but we will not serve or allow for incoming alcohol," stressed Howard. Otherwise, the theater welcomes community events, parties, recitals and conferences.
A listing of shows and show times can be found on the theater's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheIndianaTheater. For booking information, call 724-467-2065.

Dueling Healthcare Proposals Submitted to Super Committee
House and Senate committees submitted on Friday their recommended budget cuts and reforms for the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, which has until November 23 to develop legislation to cut a mere $1.2 trillion from the federal budget over the next 10 years.
I thought it might be useful to take a close look at the Democratic and Republican proposals for healthcare spending reform. This task contains an assumption that the parties' positions would be clearly stated. My bad. What I found instead is a big mishmash of policy statements wrapped in political dogma.
The biggest surprise is how the Democrats make their case to the "super committee." Republicans are all about the dollars—Medicare spending increased from $37 billion in 1980 to $514 billion in 2010, for example. The Democrats take a more touchy-feely approach, citing the potential loss of Medicare benefits to people who depend on the coverage. There's nothing wrong with that argument, but let's face it, the debt committee needs to find a lot of money fast to cut from the budget. The Republicans seem more than happy to help.
Here's a brief look at how the two political parties would address cuts to some specific healthcare programs. Let's start with an easy one—the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee would like the super committee to strongly consider repealing "this flawed and partisan health law as an essential step in improving our nation's future economic and fiscal outlook." In making its point, the group cites a Senate Budget Committee report that pegs the full implementation cost of the ACA at $2.6 trillion over 10 years.

QUETTA, (The News): Unknown gunmen attacked a coastguard check post with rockets and heavy weaponry near Pakistan-Iran border in Balochistan's Gwadar district on Saturday, killing seven officials and wounding seven others, officials said.
The incident happened in the Suntsar area of Gwadar district, 1,420 kilometres (882 miles) southwest of Quetta, the capital of the oil and gas rich Balochistan province that borders Iran and Afghanistan.
According to Interior Secretary Balochistan Akbar Durrani, armed attackers ambushed a security check post in Suntsar area, a mountainous region near Gwadar port city, where at least 14 security men were deployed.
"Around 24 gunmen armed with rockets and heavy weapons, attacked the check post and killed seven coastguard officials," Akbar Durrani told.
He said at least seven coastguard officials were also injured in the early morning attack.
A local tribal police official also confirmed the attack and casualties and said the identity of the attackers was not immediately known.
The district administration informed that the security personnel were on-duty at the coastguard check post where no effective communication system existed.
The FC, coastguard and Levies forces were sent to the incident site to kick off rescue efforts while the administration initiated the investigation.
Other independent sources told that ten security personnel were martyred.
