Recently I joined the 21st century when my husband bought me my first smartphone. Before then, I would have told you that I was perfectly content with my "dumb" phone. I could text, make phone calls, and take photos (that I never did anything with). Then, I discovered the world of apps and fell in love. I'm particularly obsessed with money-saving apps, like Target Cartwheel, that let me use my phone to receive special deals and discounts on things I'm already buying!
I was recently given the opportunity to test out the Cartwheel app for a review and, of course, I love any opportunity for a Target trip. I immediately downloaded the app and was impressed with how easy it was to navigate. There are many things that I am still learning about my phone, but this app made it easy to find what I was looking for, browse, and select the deals I wanted to take advantage of.
What is Target Cartwheel?
The Cartwheel app works like an online coupon database that allows you to save money on your in-store purchases. It can be used on your desktop, tablet, mobile web or iPhone and Droid apps.
How Does Target Cartwheel Work?
You can browse deals by category, scroll through the over 700 options, or scan an item barcode in the store using the app on your IPhone or Droid native apps to see if there is a Cartwheel offer on it. Simply click on your deal to add it to your Cartwheel list. When you check out, click on "my Cartwheel" and the app will generate a single barcode on your phone for your cashier to scan. This barcode works just like a personalized coupon for all your deals, no clipping required!
How to Make Target Cartwheel Work for Busy Moms?
We are all busy! I have never been the type who could sit down with a coupon insert and browse through for deals I might use. This app is no different. I simply don't have time to browse through every offer, so how can we use this to save time and money?
For each shopping trip, I make a list of things I know we need to get. This keeps me focused when shopping with 4 boys and makes sure that I won't forget something important, like toilet paper or dish detergent. Then, before going to the store, I browse through the corresponding categories and find any offers that are already on my list. That way, I don't need to worry about finding them at the store.
For this trip, I next looked through the Target coupons on their website to see if there were any coupons that I also had Cartwheel deals on. In this case, I was able to stack a Target coupon and a Cartwheel deal on Neutragena lip gloss saving me even more money! You can even combine them with manufacturer coupons (for those coupon divas out there)!
At the store, I realized that I also wanted to get some sippy cups, so I browsed through the "baby feeding" offers right there in the aisle and found a deal on Playtex cups, which also happened to be on sale. I quickly added those to my offers list and moved on to the next thing on my list.
One of the best features is the ability to scan the barcode of any item to see if there is a Cartwheel offer for it. This is probably the fastest way to find offers for those who don't want to browse or search for items ahead of time. Simply scan your items right before checking out, add any that apply, and then show your personalized barcode to your cashier for immediate savings!
Are There Limits to Target Cartwheel?
Yes - sort of. When you first sign up for Target Cartwheel, you have 10 offer spots that you can use each trip. You can earn badges to get more offer spots by reaching savings milestones, interacting with the app by adding offers, and through social media sharing.
You can use each Target Cartwheel offer 4 times per transaction. That means that if I find a great deal on a box of K-cups, I can buy 4 boxes in my first transaction. Then, Target will let me come back up to 6 times that day to buy more, giving me up to 24 boxes of K-cups from that deal until it expires.
Target has always been one of my favorite places to shop. I love their selection and their prices. Now, with my new Target Cartwheel app, I have one more money-saving reason to shop there!

Until recently, little was known about Jungle, the songwriting duo behind viral hits The Heat, Platoon and Busy Earnin'.
Through a combination of indifference, arty dance videos and a broken down smoke machine, the faces of Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland - known as J and T - have only recently started to appear as part of the band's publicity.
That doesn't stop them from issuing press pictures of bands which - as far as I can tell - don't feature them.
Intentional or not, the air of mystery still persists around this west London pair, and it only serves to make Jungle's appearance – or non-appearance – at Banquet Records' New Slang night on July 17 all the more intriguing.
The group heads to McClusky's in the week their eponymous debut album is released.
On stage, the duo is transformed into a seven piece live set-up, playing "mesmeric, kaleidoscopic modern soul", according to their record label XL.
Banquet Records manager Jon Tolley said: "Jungle are mysterious – the duo with a press pic of a gang.
"What we do know is there's a lot of interest around this lot, their all too rare London shows have been sell outs and if ever there was a time to see them it's the week their album's out.
"New Slang is 100 per cent an indie night, but on July 17 it turns into a Jungle rave. Fans of Hot Chip, Blood Orange, Kindness, Golden Silvers and Disclosure will love it."
As usual, the music continues long after the band finishes, with DJs playing classic indie anthems until 2am.
Jungle, New Slang, McClusky's, Thames Street, Kingston, Thursday, July 17, 9pm, £8; for further details visit Banquet Records' website.

Apple has launched its music streaming service iTunes Radio in Australia, as the consumer giant looks to maintain its dominance over the $9.3 billion online music market against emerging rivals.
The service allows customers to listen to music for free with advertisements, or pay a subscription fee to remove the ads. The music, which is streamed and cannot be, is played in similar fashion to radio stations created around specific genres or similar songs.
The consumer giant said in October 20 million users had taken up the service, about 3.5 per cent of the total 575 million global iTunes accounts, five weeks after its initial launch in the United States.
The launch of iTunes Radio comes as a bid from Apple to attract users away from rival music streaming services Spotify, Rdio and Pandora, which have rapidly decreased the amount of money users spend purchasing music.
Asymco analyst Horace Dediu last year estimated that the average iTunes user spent $US12 purchasing music on iTunes in 2012, significantly down on the $US39 average spend in 2007.
Local music executives have said they expect the emergence of online music streaming services to significantly cut into iTunes revenues as users abandon the need to own music in favour of instant access.

Obama has adopted the protocol of "dropping in" on a guest that is not a head of state as a way of showing respect for the senior government official. Israeli officials saw the act as the U.S. president´s way of expressing support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu´s decision to bring Kadima into the government.
Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren, was also present at the meetings.
Mofaz thanked Obama for standing by Israel and its security needs. A statement from his office said "The discussion went very well."
In his discussion with Obama, Mofaz said that the failure of three rounds of negotiations with Iran concerning its nuclear program means that the next set of tougher sanctions should include an embargo on Iran´s crude oil exports. However, if all other efforts fail, he said, including more severe sanctions, the U.S. must lead a military strike on Iran.
Six world powers and Iran failed to secure a breakthrough at talks in Moscow this week, the third round under the latest diplomatic initiative, and set no date for more political negotiations.
Technical talks with Iran have been scheduled for July 3 in Istanbul, but no further political talks have been agreed to, and some experts have said the risk of war will increase unless diplomacy is renewed.
On Wednesday, after a discussion with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Mofaz released a statement that said "It is time for the United States and Western powers to impose more severe sanctions in the oil embargo and financial sectors in order to stop Iran´s nuclear development program."
Speaking with the U.S. president, Mofaz sent a warning message to Iran, saying that if Israel feels its existence is threatened, it will be able to carry out a military operation against the Islamic republic on its own.
On his four-day visit to the U.S. capital, Mofaz is also seeking U.S. help in arranging a meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to try to renew peace talks deadlocked since 2010.
Concerning talks with the Palestinians, Mofaz told Obama there is no date for the renewal of negotiations and no outline for such talks, but there is a willingness to move forward and he plans to meet with Abbas in the near future.

The Bangkok Declaration and Strategy for Aquaculture Development Beyond 2000 and Philippine Aquaculture
This paper reviews the Philippine aquaculture sector in light of the Bangkok Declaration and Strategy for Aquaculture Development Beyond 2000, an internationally produced document that strongly encourages the incorporation of key strategy elements into the national aquaculture development programs. The purpose of the paper is to identify constraints to the full incorporation of the key strategy elements into the local aquaculture program and recommend measures for addressing them. The paper found that the various key strategies mentioned in the Bangkok Declaration have already been implemented in the aquaculture sector to a significant extent. While so, however, much remains to be done to hasten the implementation of the strategies. In general, they will be better pursued if the Philippine Fisheries Code and the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act are fully implemented. Adequate funding for the two laws must be provided to allow the establishment and operations of the different aquaculture institutions, programs, projects and activities they envisioned. Review of the contentious provisions of the two laws must also be conducted and amendments made at the appropriate time, if necessary. Streamlining of the different government institutions and functions involved in fisheries and aquaculture should be pursued to effect coordinated operations. Furthermore, increased support for training and extension is needed. In particular, the strengthening of regional offices of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and the offices of the Local Government Units involved in extension must be given priority.

The Crooked Billet is indeed a pub still serving the thirsty in the High
Street which is part of the old town part of Leigh.
Looking through various history books it seems there were many schools in
Southend during this period some based on religious affiliation or which
operated as small businesses. The National school (I believe this was a
Church of England undertaking) in Southend is mentioned as being started in
1855 though closed with 20 years due to lack of funds. At the same time a
non -conformist British School In the High St. had over 200 pupils on its
register at the same time. My books also mention that illiteracy rates were
around 60% at during the 1830-40 period so it is likely that many children
were unable to attend any school until non-denominational publicly funded
schools started in 1877 which incidentally lead to the closure of the
British school.

Subject: [Ess] Southend National School
Happy New Year to everyone from NZ,
Does anyone know if there are any records regarding the National School at
Southend for the period 1820's to 1860's. I have looked on ancestry for the
names of the schools in either Southend or Prittlewell for this time. My
JEMSON family was living in Southend at this time so I assume that the
children may have attended this school. The directory lists only the
National School, Southend, William McDonald , Master. Mrs Janette McDonald
was mistress of the infant school.
I have checked out SEAX for any records but there do not seem to be any for
this school.
One more thing, does anyone know what "Crooked Billet" is referring to? In
the 1851 directory for Leigh under WILLIAM HAY it has this written beside
it. The list is under tradesman. I am presuming it is a pub but thought
someone might know for sure.
Thanks in advance.

Age UK said that older people living in areas which are not connected to the gas grid were the "forgotten face" of fuel poverty in Britain.
The cost of a tank of heating fuel has fluctuated during the past year but last month prices were running at 14 per cent higher than the previous December – and 20 per cent more than in the summer.
The charity said many elderly people in rural areas are being forced to cut back on heating even in the coldest period of the year because of the cost.
"The prices mean that it is very uncertain for people who actually depend on heating oil to keep themselves properly warm," Age UK's Mervyn Kohler said.
According to the charity some older people are faced with the added problem that some suppliers require a minimum order, which puts the cost of a delivery out of range for some.
Age UK wants the Government to make elderly people living in "off-grid" areas a priority for measures to make homes more energy efficient.
Around 4.6 million people in England do not have access to mains gas, of whom it is thought that 55 per cent rely on oil from a tank
Age UK estimates that about 1.5 million people over 65s living in rural areas in England are reliant.
According to the comparison site boilerjoice.com, average prices in England hit 65p per litre last month, up from 57 pence the previous December.
A spokeswoman for the Federation of Petroleum Suppliers said that a recent Office of Fair Trading investigation into the industry had found that competition was working well and that customer satisfaction was high.
"Consumers get a pretty good deal and, with low margins, there is very little leeway to give them price reductions and still remain viable," she said.

The fact that a paper is published in a reputable scientific journal by
people with REPUTABLE credentials does not mean the conclusions are to be taken as
the final word. It is a progress report that invites further peer review.
This is particularly true in a discipline that is in its infancy, Sometimes such
review is not taken without pain, but it is accepted nonetheless by most as
part of the scientific method.

Looks like the church is covering for the city staff. After the Downtown Alliance came out with its statement about how the EIR didn't include the church's expansion plans, I'm betting somebody at the city called the church and asked them to put out this statement. With a wink, the church was probably told that they can bring back their expansion plans after the dust settles. Hope the Almanac or Daily Post dig deeper into this story. Sounds fishy to me.

A grain of rumor turns into a mountain of hot air.
The Downtown Alliance seems desperate when it has to bring up unfounded rumors like this. This doesn't look good for the status quo. NIMBYS beware, there in change in the air.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

|Re: Bug or my lack of understanding? "Reduce output must shrink more rapidly"
|Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:55:54 GMT
The reduce_limit heuristic is there to save you from writing bad reduce functions that are destined to fail in production as document count increases. The result of a reduce call should be strictly smaller than the input size (and preferably a lot smaller). If the number of keys in the returned object is fixed, you'll probably be fine, though testing with a sizeable number of documents (and graphing the performance curve) will prove it. B.

I had the great pleasure of visiting Melbourne jeweller Katherine Bowman at home last week… I've known of her work for a while, and it was so lovely to finally meet Katherine in person, and of course have a snoop around her beautiful home! Hers is such a special and creative home – both her jewellery workshop and painting studio are set up in spare rooms here, which makes for a very unique and industrious space, filled with creative energy (still, it was SPOTLESSLY tidy when I visited!).
As is often the case when I photograph someone's home, Katherine was a little doubtful about being included here…! "It's nothing like the gorgeous homes you feature" she said…. "…after all it's a rental" yeah yeah. I've heard that before! People never seem to notice the special details and imperfect beauty in their own homes! It's not until I rush about madly with a camera and post the pics online, that they seem to realise the innate cuteness of their surroundings! WELL I hope this post goes some way to alleviate Katherine's concerns… Fingers crossed!
The one thing that really stands out about Katherine's home, is her love of all things SPARKLY! As she recently sweetly quipped on her blog –
"…even though I am now an old lady, things like a little bit of glitter, some pipe cleaners, tinsel etc, still go a long way in my world"
For the record, Katherine is FAR from an 'old lady' – but it is certainly clear how much she loves a bit of sparkle! Her home is filled with glittery details – hanging metallic fringing, crystals, glitter, aluminium foil and even tinsel pipe-cleaner creations can be spotted throughout the house! As I photographed Katherine chatted with a sense of wonder about the tiny rainbows and twinkling patterns cast on the walls from her hanging decorations! It really is a magical thing to be reminded to stop and take note of these tiny, special details… I can see why Katherine took up gold and silver smithing!
Katherine's work is stocked at eg. etal and Studio Ingot in Melbourne. She was recently interviewed on the eg. etal blog actually! She is also having a exhibition at Craft Victoria in September this year … be sure to keep an eye out for the details! She also has a gorgeous little blog you should visit… I hope she won't mind me sharing another excerpt with you here… it just so perfectly sums up her outlook on life and making art and all the precious details she collects and displays at home… what a beautiful way she has with words!
"I find myself extremely moved at times by objects and things. These objects and things are often very simple – light and shadows, birds and flight, trees and wind, are perhaps the things that inspire me the most at this stage of my life. Every day I am struck by the randomness and beauty of these things. I love that I have no control over these experiences, but only can hope that I can be present enough to notice. This experience can take my breath away and fill me with wonder like a child.
I think about how to bring this to the work that I make and wonder how the things that I see and surround myself with take form in the things that I make."
Thanks so much for sharing your home and your sparkles with us Katherine!

You all know I'm a lake girl, right? Grew up on a boat or behind a boat or wishing I was on a boat, at Ute Lake. I've always been pretty certain Ute Lake is perfect – lower at times than I'd like it to be, but still consistently beautiful and definitely home to me.
The only thing we've really been missing has been a concession of some sort. A place where you could park the boat, grab a burger and a Dr. Pepper, or a cold beer if that's your style. . .
Well, now we have it. 12 Shores at Ute Lake, the resort community located on the south side of the lake where the new Nicklaus golf course is located, offers all that.
Right now, if you're on the water reading this (I know who you are), you can call David Frank at 12 Shores at 575-403-7177, tell him you're on the water and want to come by, and he'll send someone down in a golf cart to pick you up at the new community dock.
You can pull your boat up to their dock, tie up, and have a nice break in the 12 Shores clubhouse. If you're in the mood to play golf, you can pack your clubs in your boat and bring them along. Or rent from David.
By the way, April is free golf month – no green fees. So if you really are in the mood for golf, call David in a hurry. . .only a few days left on that great deal.
I was on the water this past Saturday with Sabrina, Bruce and Lloyd. We decided we were thirsty and gave David a call. "I'll have someone meet you at the dock," he said, and sure enough, Mitchell, a young guy from nearby Logan High, was sitting in a golf cart waiting on us when we arrived. We loaded up and headed up the hill to the clubhouse.
David and his wife, Christin, greeted us in the midst of showing other folks the property, getting people on and off the course, and congratulating little Truitt (his Dad, Josh Salee, is the 12 Shores Golf Superintendent) on his fishing success off the dock.
The clubhouse is gorgeous, but better than that, it's friendly and filled with activity and will be a huge success now that the principles, Brookfield and JC Resorts, have decided on a direction for the project.
We had a cocktail, visited with David, toured the clubhouse, visited with Christin, played the free jukebox, watched a little golf on the flat screen. . .it was a nice respite from the heat outside.
You can currently get a burger or a hot dog, and starting on Memorial Day, they're launching the Annex at 12 Shores (with an abbreviated Annex menu). You'll be able to call your order in and either go up to the clubhouse or have your lunch delivered right to your boat.
12 Shores is a beautiful place and a nice addition to the lake I grew up on .
Don't have a place here? You can rent a home for a weekend or longer, and the golf is thrown in for free.
Don't know the first thing about golf, or want to improve your game? Call David (575-403-7177) – he'll set you up. $25 for a half hour lessons seems pretty reasonable to me, especially if it keeps you from putting a ball through one of the new homes out there.
Although I gotta tell ya – his phone rings nonstop. This guy is getting busy.
Yep, I'm a lake girl. And these days, I'm a happier lake girl knowing that I can grab a snack and enjoy good company at 12 Shores. I might even take a golf lesson. . .

Photo gallery: Pasadena-Burroughs boys basketball
PASADENA - Even without its top player for most of the game, the Pasadena High School boys basketball team still proved too much for visiting Burroughs on Wednesday.
Brandon Jolley, the Bulldogs' 6-foot-5 power forward, was ejected late in the second quarter after picking up two quick technical fouls for arguing with the referees over a non-foul call. Didn't matter, however, as the Bulldogs turned a close game into a 65-35 win to remain unbeaten in the Pacific League.
"It's been a weird year," Pasadena coach Tim Tucker said. "Weird things have been happening all year long, from being sick to injuries. I think Jolley, who is arguably one of the top players in the league, got frustrated with the fouls that weren't being called down there and just blew his top.
"It's unfortunate that it came to that, but I like the way my team hung together, pulled together, was able to extend the lead and win the game."
Pasadena (10-4, 3-0) watched as Burroughs closed to within 23-19 on the technical foul free throws after Jolley exited. But 3-pointers by Nick Brown and Andre Spight helped send the Bulldogs into halftime with a 29-23 lead.
Burroughs closed to within two points early in the third quarter. That's when the Bulldogs' defense got downright stingy, and it was only a matter of time before the offense caught up.
Jeffrey McClendon's 3-pointer gave the Bulldogs their first double-figure lead at 41-31 with just over a minute left in the third quarter.
McClendon closed the quarter with another basket to put Pasadena up by 12 going to the fourth.
"I thought we weren't playing good team basketball anyway," Tucker said of his team's effort before Jolley left. "It gave us a chance to regroup and talk about what we needed to do. The guys just decided to go back executing the game plan."
The onslaught continued well into the fourth quarter. With Burroughs fortunate to simply get shots off, Pasadena seemingly got every rebound and quickly got into transition.
The Bulldogs relentlessly attacked the rim as seven players scored in the fourth quarter, and the lead soon was more than 20 points. MclClendon got fouled making a layup and added the free throw for a 54-32 lead.
"I thought we played way better defense in the second half, and that's our thing to do," Tucker said. "We come out and look at the other team and don't think they're great eye candy. The next thing you know, they're in the game and they want to beat you.
"That's been our biggest problem over the years. We don't respect a lot of teams in the Pacific League and they all want to come beat us."
Spight led Pasadena with 19 points. McClendon added 15.

Teen authors Michelle Gayle, Martyn Bedford, Mal Peet and Peter Cocks discuss the tricky topics of language and love in young adult fiction
Walker Books brought together four authors who write for teens - Michelle Gayle, Martyn Bedford, Mal Peet and Peter Cocks - and contributors to youth magazine Live for a panel discussion on all aspects of teen fiction.
After the event, Live editor Celeste Houlker asked the panel a couple of questions especially for the Guardian children's books site: how do the authors find the language to sound authentic to teens, and why do they all have a love story at the centre of their current books.
Books mentioned in this podcast:
Flip by Martyn Bedford
Pride and Premiership by Michelle Gayle
Life, An Exploded Diagram by Mal Peet

Sommeliers are known for their ability to identify a wine's subtle flavors, a feat they accomplish by defragmenting the molecules with the bonus taste buds in their livers. Trust their gut with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
$37 for a wine class for one (a $75 value)
$70 for a wine class for two (a $150 value)
$135 for a wine class for four (a $300 value)
Led by trained sommeliers, classes run from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the following weekend dates:
- April 27 or 28: pinot noirs
- May 18 or 19: California reds
- May 25 or 26: wines of South America
- June 1 or 2: summer of riesling
- June 22 or 23: sparkling wines
- July 27 or 28: wines of Australia<p>
Veritas Wine Bar
Evocative aromas ascend from swirling chalices at Veritas Wine Bar, a brick-walled lounge where sommeliers pair more than 70 wines by the glass with a menu of cheese and charcuterie plates. Grape-infused elixirs gush from a temperature-controlled tap system, ensuring uniform sips unmarred by sudden climate shifts or clumsy fire breathers. Reds and whites from Italy, South Africa, and New Zealand slosh into individual glasses or join forces to create flights. Globetrotting artisanal cheeses fall under four categories—blue, cow, goat, and sheep—and deliciously mingle with charcuterie selections. Sippers can scrawl an appetizing epilogue across the evening's feast by noshing on chocolate morsels laced with slow-cooked caramel or pistachio butter, which silence petulant sweet teeth without preemptively donning a bedtime retainer.

Oh Goodness my Guinness!
Best way for apple to MAXIMIZE sales for this "Product" is to have steve jobs signature on it or something. I should replace Tim cook with these amazing ideas haha
In the weeks the preceded his passing

In the weeks that preceded his passing
Great marketing ploy!
I'm sorry but i
Obviously Mr. Jobs was working on the next iPhone. You think it took any brain power to upgrade the iPhone 4 to the A5 chip? All those engineers and designers were hard at work prototyping, testing, and re-testing. New materials, shaving off weight, refining the design... Apple puts a lot of work into their phones (despite antennagate). They've probably been working on the iPhone 5 since before the iPhone 4 even hit the market.
looking forward for the iphone 5 steve jobs editon. they should name it after him iphone 4s is a joke anyway.
they need a redesign tired of the same look almost every year, just slight changes

Pujols, the N.L. home run (42) and RBI (118) leader, was selected for his club-record 6th Silver Slugger award and his 3rd-straight (2008-10). Albert tied Holliday for the team lead in batting (.312, T5th in N.L.) this season and compiled his 6th-straight "team" Triple Crown - his 9th in 10 seasons.
Pujols led the league in RBI for the first time in his career and paced the senior circuit in homers for a 2nd-straight season, joining Mark McGwire (1998-99) and Johnny Mize (1939-40) as the only Cardinals to have won consecutive N.L. home run titles.
Albert's five previous Silver Slugger selections came in 2001 (third base), 2003 (outfield), and in 2004, 2008-09 as first baseman.
Pujols, who earned his 2nd Rawlings Gold Glove award Wednesday, becomes just the seventh Cardinal to win "Silver and Gold" in the same year, joining Jim Edmonds (2004), Edgar Renteria (2002-03), Scott Rolen (2002), Ozzie Smith (1987), Willie McGee (1985) and Keith Hernandez (1980).
Holliday, in his first full season with the Cardinals, finished among N.L. leaders in batting (.312, T5th), hits (186, 3rd), RBI (103, T7th) and doubles (45, T2nd) and he had a league-best 50 RBI with two outs.
Holliday won Silver Slugger awards in three consecutive seasons (2006-08) with the Colorado Rockies. He's the first Cardinals left fielder since Pujols in 2003 to win the award.
The Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger awards are voted on by managers and coaches from each league prior to the conclusion of the regular season.

Unless you happen to own an oil well, sometimes you have to work those pennies hard to get you what you want. So it's good to know Panasonic is offering a "Try Before You Buy" scheme for its Lumix GH3 digital SLR.
At the retailers listed below, you'll be able to net yourself the Lumix GH3 for 48 hours – long enough to decide whether you want to drop £1200 on it.
At least all that money gets you top-spec photography performance. 15.9MP, a 3in LCD display and full 1080p video recording on top of a number of exposure modes complement very capable imaging skills and colour accuracy.
Where can you go and try out the camera? Good question:

Time change should serve as reminder
(Cleveland) - The switch to Daylight Savings Time can always serve as a reminder to do a couple things around the house.
When the time change takes place, as it did when we sprung forward an hour Sunday morning, it is always wise to change the batteries in your smoke detectors inside your homes.
Also, if your smoke detectors are more than ten years old, it is wise to buy new ones.
You should have a working smoking detector on every floor of your home and an escape plan in place in case fire breaks out inside your house.

When the Salt Lake City Council meets Tuesday evening, it has a chance to make a nearly immediate impact on the lives of many city residents, for good or ill. In deciding on the next leg of the Sugar House Streetcar, the council should choose the route that will provide benefits, both short-term and long-term, for the greatest number of people.
They should take the streetcar east on 2100 South.
After weeks of debate, much of it published in this newspaper, it is clear that the alternative route, north along 1100 East, is not the best choice right now. The first phase of the streetcar line will be completed this year from the TRAX Central Station at 2100 South and 200 West eastward to Fairmont Park. The logical second phase should take the line east on 2100 South to 1700 East.
Eventually the 1100 East line probably should be added to connect to the TRAX route on 400 South, but right now an extension on 1100 East connects to nothing. However, an eastward route would have two natural destinations in Sugar House Park and Highland High School.
While Westminster College students would have easier access to the campus from an 1100 East route, the college and its students would also be served by an eastbound line. The eventual extension of a 2100 South route to Foothill Drive and the University of Utah TRAX line would create a more useful loop with more ridership than one on 1100 East.
The 1100 East route championed by Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker has prompted vocal protests from a large group about 200 attended a public hearing on the alternatives of business owners and residents of the many single-family homes that line the narrow street. Their opinions should be taken into account.
They are rightly worried that the streetcar line would change the character of their neighborhood. While property values might go up, as Councilwoman Jill Remington Love says, that would undoubtedly change the neighborhood, and many people like it just the way it is. It would be better to choose the alignment that puts the streetcar on already more heavily commercial streets.
The worst choice of all would be to do nothing until the city adopts a citywide transportation plan. Such a plan is needed eventually, but this section of a connecting system of transit modes is already under way. There are only two feasible options for extending it. Waiting for months or years would jeopardize the federal funds the city needs to move ahead.
Go east, Salt Lake.

Technical Documentation Know-How
Resources for creating technical documentation, with a focus on software documentation and software user assistance
Do you write technical documentation? Here you can find know-how, tools, and links that will inspire you to design and write clear, concise, user-friendly manuals, online help files, screencasts, and other forms of user assistance.
User assistance bridges the gap between what the user already knows and what the user needs to know.
Many people in charge believe that writing technical documentation doesn't require any special qualifications.
From the technical point of view, this is true. Appropriate authoring software generates neat user manuals and online help files with a click of a button.
The didactical side, however, is much more challenging. It's no coincidence that so many people hate reading manuals and thus fail to use even simple products. This happens when a manual doesn't reflect how users think, and when a manual presumes prior knowledge that users don't have.
The know-how of writing plain user assistance that every user can understand is the ability to bridge the gap between the users' prior knowledge and the knowledge required to use the product. User assistance shouldn't challenge the reader. Instead, it should build up confidence, motivate the user to explore the product, and guide the user along the shortest way possible.
When planning to create new user manuals or online help files, or when reviewing existing technical documentation, you may find the following checklists useful:
▪Documentation Quality Checklist
▪Choosing a Help Authoring Tool
▪Choosing a Screen Capture Tool
▪Choosing a Screencasting Tool
To help you find suitable authoring tools, I've compiled a number of market overviews of useful software. The lists include tools to create and edit user manuals, online help files, and screencasts, as well as a number of other working aids for technical writers and translators.
Additionally, I've included a number of lists of useful web sites and recommended books. This is a collection of the resources that I use myself in my daily work as a technical writer.
You can find the links within the navigation area on the left.
I'll also be happy to provide individual advice and to design, write, or improve user manuals, online help files, and screencasts for you.

The notes she receives stress the feeling of being unchained, free, and having wind blown through their hair.
Wilson said she was on the wrong dosage of medicine, and was having severe depressive mood swings.
"We cannot accept that having 19 percent of women in [the U.S.] Congress is OK," she told moderator Andrea Mitchell.
It is also 27 years old, having first been published in 1985 in Hungary.
But as the mistaken-identity narrative crumbles, they are having second thoughts.
How can I think of any thing except the joy of having found you again?
Think of having the courage to talk that way about marriage!
"I can't understand why you are having them all alike," she complained.
The worst part of it is the having to decide how to make the most of liberty.
You wouldn't believe, would you, that your uncle is responsible for my having them?
Old English habban "to own, possess; be subject to, experience," from Proto-Germanic *haben- (cf. Old Norse hafa, Old Saxon hebbjan, Old Frisian habba, German haben, Gothic haban "to have"), from PIE *kap- "to grasp" (see capable). Not related to Latin habere, despite similarity in form and sense; the Latin cognate is capere "seize." Old English second person singular present hæfst, third person singular present hæfð became Middle English hast, hath, while Old English -bb- became -v- in have. The past participle had developed from Old English gehæfd.
Sense of "possess, have at one's disposal" (I have a book) is a shift from older languages, where the thing possessed was made the subject and the possessor took the dative case (e.g. Latin est mihi liber "I have a book," literally "there is to me a book"). Used as an auxiliary in Old English, too (especially to form present perfect tense); the word has taken on more functions over time; Modern English he had better would have been Old English him (dative) wære betere. To have to for "must" (1570s) is from sense of "possess as a duty or thing to be done" (Old English). Phrase have a nice day as a salutation after a commercial transaction attested by 1970, American English. Phrase have (noun), will (verb) is from 1954, originally from comedian Bob Hope, in the form Have tux, will travel; Hope described this as typical of vaudevillians' ads in "Variety," indicating a willingness to perform anywhere, any time.

Astoria Socks
Astoria is a coastal town where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. The Astoria Column stands 600 feet (183 meters) above sea level and offers beautiful views of the coastline. Constructed in 1926, it has a spiral design that is echoed in these socks.
This project is designed to be a first "in the round" (ITR) sock project. The diagonals to the left are identical to the ones knitted in the beginning workshops and will be familiar. If you want to do something different for the second sock, knit the swirls in the opposite direction. Bust your stash by working each stripe a different color, or vary the color patterning to your whim.

Grape Expectations: Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon
Boston Wine School
Tuesday, April 2, 2013 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (EDT)
Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon are related, as the Sauvignon part of their names suggests. In fact, if you cross Sauvignon Blanc with Cabernet Franc, the result is Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, the relationship is more like siblings, and Cabernet is seemingly the bigger, older one.
In this class, we'll taste a world range of SB and Cab so we can taste how they are the same across the planet, but also how they are different. Get ready to go deep into Bordeaux territory.
Bread, cheese, olives, meats, antipasto served with class.

This project is not covered by Drupal's security advisory policy.
The RDF SPARQL Proxy module allows to instantiate RDF resources on demand (lazy loading) via SPARQL CONSTRUCT queries. Site administrators can define profiles which specify the mapping rules of the remote data schema to the local Drupal RDF schema defined by the RDF API and RDF CCK. When visiting a node, it is synchronized with the RDF endpoint where the data originates from. Although this module can also act as an import module, it performs more than a regular import as it is able to keep track of the source of the data. An example use case is the ability to instantiate lists of publications from the DBLP SPARQL endpoint.
By leveraging the capabilities of RDF, this module will be able to instantiate complex structured data (graph) allowing for mass import of heterogeneous instances and their relationship. One query could instantiate all the pubs located in Paris with their address, picture, beers available, owner; this would create a node for each pub and each owner, and link the relevant pub nodes to their owner nodes via CCK Node references.
In the longer term, this module opens the door of distributed RDF update where the data can be pushed back towards the endpoint it comes from. (with required policies and appropriate version control).
Note the module is still unstable and its API can change with prior notice. It should only be used by experienced users until a more stable version is released.
Development has been sponsored by the Initiative in Innovative Computing at Harvard University, the Massachusetts General Hospital and DERI Galway.

5 Ways to Use Professional Development to Keep on Top of Your GameGuest_Blogger | May 09, 2012
Building a freelance business requires more than marketing to new clients and completing assignments for them; it's also essential to keep your skills and industry knowledge current. Recent studies have found that the average company spends more than $1,000 per employee per year on professional development. In order to keep up with the companies you're working with—and your fellow freelancers—it's important to spend money on your own development, too. As an entrepreneur, training and ongoing education can give you a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Here are five strategies for freelancers who want to stay at the top of their game.
1. Read about your industry.
Paying attention to industry trends can help you demonstrate expertise in your subject area when dealing with prospects and clients. Writing blog posts and bylined articles about industry-related trends and topics in the news can help you to market your services to a wider audience and build your client base.
Industry-related books and magazines fit into most small-business budgets and are generally tax-deductible, and, of course, blogs and websites are mostly free. Spending as little as 30 minutes a day reading the latest news and opinions broadens your perspective and knowledge in your field.
2. Participate in online or offline training sessions.
If you're in a technology field such as web development, in which best practices change on a nearly constant basis, it's imperative to keep your skills up to date—and industry standards. Even if your industry's tools and methods don't change too frequently, taking professional development courses can help you bolster your skill set and improve your earning potential.
Many organizations offer free or premium webinars and online or offline courses dedicated to improving your skill set in a particular field. For example, if you're a web developer, consider signing up for a lesson in PHP coding; if you're a copywriter, consider taking a course on a more niche topic, such as writing white papers. The website Lynda.com offers access to thousands of online tutorials focused around software products and specific skill sets for an annual $250 membership fee. For writers, free online training sessions through the Reynolds Center for Business Journalism and premium multi-week online courses through MediaBistro can help you develop your research, reporting, and marketing skills.
3. Stay up-to-date on software product updates.
Keeping up with software updates and new versions—and knowing how to use them effectively—will help you improve your efficiency and marketability as a freelancer. If you're familiar with changes to the application's features, you'll be able to offer innovative solutions to clients that your competitors may be unaware of.
If you use a software product, research upcoming product releases, and download or purchase them in a timely manner. Sometimes being an early adopter comes with a price, however: If you're aware that there are bugs in a particular new product or an upgrade, you may want to wait until issues have been resolved before upgrading your application(s). Software companies often offer free seminars and educational materials to help you learn about their product upgrades; take advantage of these resources. Make sure to brush up on the tools that your clients are using, too, even if they're not yet taking advantage of the latest versions.
4. Attend industry conferences.
Although you're likely to spend a thousand dollars or more on attending a single conference away from home, industry events are often well worth attending: You'll have an opportunity to participate in educational sessions led by many of the top experts in your industry, network with influential people, and may have the opportunity to show your expertise by speaking or moderating a panel. Trade shows can also be worthwhile, as they'll help you learn about new products and tools that may help you perform your job better and more efficiently.
Each quarter, research which industry-specific conferences or trade shows are in the works, and determine how many relevant events you can comfortably fit into your marketing budget. If you haven't previously attended an event and aren't sure whether it makes sense from a business perspective, read reviews of the previous year's conference, check out speakers' bios, and contact past participants to get a sense of whether a particular conference agenda suits your needs.
5. Get certified.
Formal recognition for passing a skills test or completing a program in your industry gives you additional credibility with prospective clients—and is likely to give you a competitive edge over other contractors who haven't made the effort to complete certification programs, enabling you to charge more for your services.
Elance offers more than 300 skill tests in a wide variety of subject areas, including software, language translation, and web programming. Freelancers who take these free tests can list their scores on their Elance profiles, which can go a long way in showcasing expertise in front of potential clients. Many software programs (such as Microsoft Excel) and online tools (such as Google AdWords) also offer rigorous formal certification programs. By meeting the criteria, you'll be eligible to promote your certification and get listed in a company's database of certified contractors. In fact, Elance also offers expert Groups for those who belong to professional affiliations and have verified expertise.
For entrepreneurs, professional development is an essential means to a lucrative end: driving business growth and innovation. Best of all, every dollar you spend on self-education and training is entirely tax-deductible. Seek out opportunities to learn and invest time and money into expanding your skill set, and you're likely to see significant dividends over time in the form of increased work opportunities, more credibility, and most importantly, higher pay.
