I have hated my nose and chin for as long as I can remember! I was in denial for the longest time that I had a big nose and chin but as I'm getting older both my nose and chin seem to be getting even more prominent! It used to be that I only hated these features in pictures, but in the last few years I've really begun to see in the mirror what the camera has been telling me all along. There was a period in my life where I felt great... I was complicated frequently and despite my less-than-tiny features I still felt pretty! Now I feel just downright ugly! I don't like meeting people or running into people I used to know because I feel as though they will say to themselves "wow, she got ugly!". I think about my ugliness constantly! Even when I wake up in the middle of the night it pops into my head! I'm a new mother to the sweetest almost 5 month old boy who is my whole world! And when he looks up at me with his adorable little face and those beautiful eyes... as much as I LOVE it when he does... I can't help but wonder if thinks I'm ugly. Horrible thing to think, I know... I hope not to be judged here, but it happens. I feel bad for my husband at times as I wish I were prettier for him. Especially knowing how pretty his ex-wife is! Ouch!! I am hard-pressed to find a doctor who is experienced with chin reductions, especially in my area! (Grand Rapids, MI area). Despite my deep insecurities I do have a good outlook on life! I love greatly and enjoy the simple things! My husband and I have lots of fun just living life... yet underneath it all I am plagued with this embarrassment and hatred of my face. I feel manly! I just want to feel more feminine and pretty and get rid of this feeling I live with! Financially it is not the right time yet, which is a little depressing, but I will find a way someday! At least for rhinoplasty... that is first priority... chin reduction comes second. I will put photos up eventually, though it will take some courage! Haha. Any chin reduction experiences out there would be great to hear! Any Dr's in the area who have experience in this area would be great to hear from as well!

According to Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette......
Railbird Central discusses the somewhat surprising development that the Packers and Shields are talking about more than a one-year deal.
The Packers and cornerback Sam Shields are reportedly working on signing a long-term contract. That and more in today's Daily Links...
With free agency officially opening at 4 pm EDT March 12, the Packers are making moves to apply tenders to their restricted free agents.
Since returning to the active game day roster, Sam Shields has been making a difference for the Packers. His type of return is exactly what the Packers needed.
The Packers secondary is getting healthy upon the return of Charles Woodson and Sam Shields. That and more in today's Daily Links...
Despite practicing this week, it's not looking like the Packers cornerback will play against the Lions. That and more in today's Daily Links...
Sam Shields has gotten the message. He's willing to tackle. It's time to make him the starter and only allow Bush to play in the slot.
Pro Football Focus, a noted football stats site, has sifted through three years of NFL data to comprise a healthy number of rankings. We highlighted how the Packers fared in many of their signature stats.
It's never too early to start looking ahead to next offseason. CHTV breaks down the Packers' free agent for the 2013 offseason.
Free agent cornerback Pat Lee signed with the Oakland Raiders Wednesday, re-uniting with Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie.
Head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed cornerback Sam Shields has suffered a concussion. That and more in today's Daily Links...
Sam Shields is tied for the league lead in missed tackles - and hasn't displayed a whole lot of "want to" when it comes to contact.
The second year cornerback had a pedestrian summer followed by an uneven game against the Saints. While its nowhere near time to panic, Shields has some work to do.
B.J. Raji, Sam Shields and rookie Alex Green were all injured during Thursday nights practice.
One of the more intriguing matchups to watch on Super Bowl Sunday will be when Packers cornerback Sam Shields is lined up across from Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace.
The undrafted rookie cornerback has played at a high level all season long. With the stakes the highest they've ever been, the Packers will need his help.
With Brandon Underwood sidelined by a shoulder injury, the undrafted rookie is all but assured of undertaking the nickel cornerback role on Sunday against the Eagles.
The Packers would just be wasting time playing Brandon Underwood or Pat Lee ahead of Sam Sheilds.
The undrafted rookie cornerback has been one of the pleasant surprises in the early days of training camp.

This is an awesome start to a great project. IMHO, I think that the visual mapping of drama is an awesome idea, which would make it easier for Noisebridge (together as a community) to be able to work out what ever issues there are. One cool aspect that I can potentially see from this is that if it does in fact decrease-even curb drama, then productivity from the community will go up; as it seems that more people come and enjoy hacking on stuff when there is no drama, Dr@MaTiZiNg the space.Ā

I know that I wasn't there for the meet, but could we maybe categorize and set different levels of drama as well? The thinking behind that is that is that since there is repeat drama that happens, we may be able to implement solutions that have already worked. (I may be just words on to this email with this
 , Ābut hopefully the ideas are good). And maybe a "Recommended How To - De-DramatiZe at Noisebridge." or "Hack the Drama."

Cheers and thank you everybody who invested time in this community project.Ā

Very much a personal project for Mitchum - he produced, took the lead (his son also appears, as his younger brother), wrote the story, even composed the theme song - with a subject very dear to his heart, since it depicts the activities of an Appalachian community of moonshiners up against the feds (and more organised rivals) as they race the highways with tanks full of illegally-brewed whisky. Cheaply made, disreputable, and blatantly anti-authority, it's a winner all the way, what with a stunningly laconic performance from Mitchum, white-hot night-time road scenes, and an affectionate but unsentimental vision of backwoods America rarely seen in cinema to this day.

Airborne law enforcement developments in the age of terrorism
Spreading threats demand new skills.
Job opportunities
Metro Air Support MD500E during a tactical demonstration at SUS (Spirit of St Louis MO). This aircraft is fitted with an IAI Tamam POP 200 observation system.
Many agencies require their pilots to be sworn officers before they are assigned to their aviation unit. This requires meeting the same standards as a newly hired police officer and attending the police academy.
In recent years, the trend has been to hire non-police pilots-often high-time ex-military or civilian pilots-to fly law enforcement aircraft. Each agency is different. An individual agency's website normally lists hiring opportunities, requirements and other specific criteria.
This type of flying usually brings advantages such as excellent medical and dental benefits, and generous vacation and sick time. The disadvantage to law enforcement flying is that missions are conducted 24/7, every day of the year.
This means working unusual hours as well as holidays and weekends. James McVey, a former NYPD pilot and now a chief pilot in the corporate world, summarizes his feelings: "Law enforcement flying was very challenging, fast paced and exciting.
I enjoyed every minute of it!" Regardless of how they view their particular job, all law enforcement pilots attest to the wonderful feeling that comes from saving a life.
As one pilot puts it, "Stealing form a popular TV commercial, 'The look of relief and gratitude on a family's face when they have been rescued after being stranded hiking-priceless'."
Unusual turns of events
During the Presidential term of George Bush senior, First Lady Barbara Bush was visiting New York City. At the last minute her helicopter from VMX1 was grounded due to a mechanical issue. NYPD Aviation was called, and history was made when NYPD became the first nonmilitary unit to transport a member of the first family on an official mission.
Texas DPS Aviation Section Eurocopter AS350B2 AStar, equipped with L3 Wescam 12DS200 and Spectrolab SX16 Nightsun, during an exercise at AUS (Bergstrom, Austin TX).
And no, they did not get to use the coveted Air Force One call sign! Another case from the 1970s which involved the White House found a Maryland State Police helicopter hovering between the White House and an emotionally disturbed pilot flying a stolen helicopter.
If his intent was to crash into the White House, 2 brave and determined Maryland state troopers flying a Bell 206B JetRanger had other ideas. Fortunately, the incident was resolved when the stolen aircraft landed on the south lawn of the White House.
Into the future
With the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicles and systems (UAVs and UASs, respectively) and their success in US military operations, it is only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies start taking advantage of such systems.
Some agencies have experimented with UAVs on a limited basis. FAA and law enforcement are working on a host of issues that need to be discussed and resolved before these systems enter mainstream airborne law enforcement.
Among the most pressing are safety and ATC concerns. As ALE continues to grow and develop, one thing is certain-as new threats emerge and bad guys come up with new and creative ways to commit crimes, airborne law enforcement will be ready to meet them.
Ken Solosky retired from the New York City Police Dept Aviation Unit as chief pilot after 21 years of service. He is currently chief pilot for the Newark (NJ) Police Aviation Unit.

A photographer takes legal action, claiming that the 'Beauty and a Beat' singer ordered his bodyguards to attack him, while the others forcefully took his camera's memory card.
A photographer who was involved in a feud with Justin Bieber's bodyguards took legal action against the 19-year-old superstar and one of his bodyguards, Hugo Hesny. According to TMZ, the photographer, Jeffrey Binion, sued Bieber because the singer allegedly ordered his bodyguards to harass and threaten him after he tried to take Bieber's pictures at Hit Factory's parking lot.
Binion said that Hesny threw him to the wall following Bieber's order. Hesny also allegedly grabbed Binion by the throat, and "displayed a gun" under his shirt while other bodyguards grabbed his camera to take the memory card. Because of the incident, Binion suffered from injury, pain, mental anguish and incurred medical expenses.
Binion's lawyer Russell S. Adler told the site, "Justin Bieber is now an adult, and he should act like one. He needs to learn that he cannot use bodyguards as weapons to harm innocent people. Bieber's violent behavior toward photographers must end, and he should take responsibility for his actions."
"No amount of fame or fortune justifies Bieber's shameful and outrageous conduct. To send him that message and deter his misbehavior in the future, we will seek punitive damages against him as allowed by Florida law," Adler continued.
On Saturday, June 8, a report that Bieber and his group harassing another person in a lounge emerged. Someone, who reportedly was not a paparazzo, allegedly had a heated argument with Bieber's bodyguards after he tried to snap a picture of the singer. The police came to the Hollywood lounge after they received a call from the alleged victim, but Bieber and his group already left.
According to the site, the police are going to investigate the incident for misdemeanor battery. However, Bieber is not considered a suspect and his role in the incident is unclear.

California Spousal Support
The California Family Code determines the nuances and specific circumstances in which spousal support will play a role in divorce proceedings. Factors such as the duration of the marriage and the standard of living during the length of the marital union are considered when gauging the amount of spousal support.
At the time of divorce, courts may order a spouse to pay the other spouse spousal support if one party does not have the financial means to provide for their previous standard of living. Spousal support is intended to protect a spouse's standard of living. It is usually provided to spouses who have been out of the workforce during the marriage, who worked part-time positions during the marriage, or who earn a significant amount less than their spouse. It is estimated that less than half of all divorce settlements entail spousal support as one of the end agreements made between both parties. Nevertheless, it is imperative for divorcing parties to recognize when eligibility for spousal support is applicable and the potential amount of spousal support the court may order to ensure the amount allocated is just and reasonable.
Spousal Support Eligibility
To be eligible for spousal support, there must be a "need for support". To determine this need, California courts rely on a number of factors set forth in California Family Code section 4320, which states:
"In ordering spousal support under this part, the court shall
consider all of the following circumstances:
(a) The extent to which the earning capacity of each party is sufficient to maintain the standard of living established during the marriage, taking into account all of the following:
(1) The marketable skills of the supported party; the job market for those skills; the time and expenses required for the supported party to acquire the appropriate education or training to develop those skills; and the possible need for retraining or education to acquire other, more marketable skills or employment.
(2) The extent to which the supported party's present or future earning capacity is impaired by periods of unemployment that were incurred during the marriage to permit the supported party to devote time to domestic duties.
(b) The extent to which the supported party contributed to the attainment of an education, training, a career position, or a license by the supporting party.
(c) The ability of the supporting party to pay spousal support, taking into account the supporting party's earning capacity, earned and unearned income, assets, and standard of living.
(d) The needs of each party based on the standard of living established during the marriage.
(e) The obligations and assets, including the separate property, of each party.
(f) The duration of the marriage.
(g) The ability of the supported party to engage in gainful
employment without unduly interfering with the interests of dependent children in the custody of the party.
(h) The age and health of the parties.
(i) Documented evidence of any history of domestic violence, as defined in Section 6211, between the parties, including, but not limited to, consideration of emotional distress resulting from domestic violence perpetrated against the supported party by the supporting party, and consideration of any history of violence against the supporting party by the supported party.
(j) The immediate and specific tax consequences to each party.
(k) The balance of the hardships to each party.
(l) The goal that the supported party shall be self-supporting within a reasonable period of time. Except in the case of a marriage of long duration as described in Section 4336, a "reasonable period of time" for purposes of this section generally shall be one-half the length of the marriage. However, nothing in this section is intended
to limit the court's discretion to order support for a greater or
lesser length of time, based on any of the other factors listed in this section, Section 4336, and the circumstances of the parties.
(m) The criminal conviction of an abusive spouse shall be
considered in making a reduction or elimination of a spousal support award in accordance with Section 4325.
(n) Any other factors the court determines are just and equitable."
The court has full discretion when calculating the exact amount of support that will be ordered.
It is important to note that spousal support can be requested by either a husband or wife. It is a common misconception -- that is rooted in how spousal support was ordered by the courts in the past -- which involves the notion that only women who stay at home and do not work are the only party that is eligible to request spousal support. This notion no longer holds true and it is important to examine your situation meticulously before deciding to collect spousal support.
Additionally, the court may also issue support during litigation, also known as "pendent lite" support or relief pending litigation. Obtaining a pendente lite order is important because the order allows the parties to pay their bills and maintain financial equilibrium while the case is pending. Pendente lite orders also prevent one party from asserting a financial advantage over another party who may have lesser means and fewer financial resources at her disposal when the litigation commences. With this in mind, there must be a need for this relief to maintain said equilibrium, as well as the means available for the party providing support to do so.

The Creators Project: Could Hollywood Flicks Exist Without The Visual FX?
Author Kevin Holmes examines VFX technology in the concept and creation of blockbusters in light of recent bankruptcy scandals.
Suspension of disbelief is obviously key to immersing yourself in any work of fiction. From reading a novel to watching a movie, but with a movie the suspension of disbelief isn't entirely down to your imagination, it also involves the work of the filmmakers and their crews who help turn a script into a full fledged motion picture.
In the modern age visual effects play a huge part in aiding that suspension, but even though they play such an integral part in many Hollywood blockbusters (and hit TV shows like Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones) the industry is in crisis. Last week animator Erica Gorochow wrote for us about how, even though Life of Pi won the Oscar for Visual Effects, the company behind them, Rhythm & Hues, has filled for bankruptcy in a financial situation which is echoed across the industry.
A protest movement has sprung up around it—Twitter profiles and websites are going green to show solidarity with the movement—to highlight the poor state of the US VFX industry and the less-then-ideal labor conditions it endures. High profile film critic (in the UK at least) Mark Kermode has spoken about the issue, rallying calls from motion designershave been issued, movie industry publications and film mags are writing about it, and the VFX Solidarity InternationalFacebook page is showing no sign of giving up the fight. With VFX professionals—like Dave Rand, Scott Ross, andScott Squires who seem to be turning into figureheads for the movement—voicing their dissent and showing that they're in it for the long game, it could be awhile before some kind of resolution is achieved.
And, if you wondered just how those mega-budget movies might look without the skills and craftmanship of the VFXindustry, the Tumblr Before VFX details summer blockbusters without the post-production tinkering. Take a look at some images below, along with the site's author detailing why it was set up.
My intention is to highlight the artistry of VFX by showing you the canvas. At a time when even Hollywood can't seem tell the difference between Oscar-winning Visual Effects and Oscar-winning Cinematography, I think it needs to be made clear which is which. Without the fantastic VFX work by talented artists, Hollywood films would not be what they are today.

VATICAN CITY -- American victims of clerical sex abuse protested at the Vatican on Thursday (March 25), charging that Pope Benedict XVI had personally mishandled the case of a Wisconsin priest who molested up to 200 deaf boys more than 35 years ago.
"What the pope will not admit is what he knew and the Vatican knew," said John Pilmaier, Milwaukee leader of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, at an informal press conference a few yards from St. Peter's Square.
Pilmaier and three other SNAP members sought to draw attention to the case of the Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy, who was the subject of an article in Thursday's edition of the New York Times.
Murphy, who died in 1998, resigned in 1974 as director of a Catholic school for the deaf in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, following accusations that he had molested students during his nearly 25 years on the staff.
The priest received no further pastoral assignments, yet continued to work with children. Though allegations against him were apparently reported to the police, Murphy was never prosecuted.
In 1996, then-Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee referred Murphy's case to the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), writing that he had learned only recently that Murphy might have approached some of his victims in the confessional, a violation that would have brought the case under the CDF's jurisdiction.
The CDF was at that time headed by Pope Benedict, then known as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. The office's second in command was then-Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone, now a cardinal and Vatican Secretary of State, the Catholic Church's No. 2 official.
After consulting with Bertone, Wisconsin church officials moved to try Murphy under church law, a process that could have led to his defrocking. But in January 1998, the accused asked Ratzinger to call off the trial.
Stating that he was 72 years old and "in poor health" and had "repented of any of my past transgressions," Murphy asked to be allowed to "live out the time that I have left in the dignity of my priesthood."
Later that year, Bertone instructed the Wisconsin church authorities to end judicial proceedings against Murphy.
The Vatican's actions in the Murphy case appear consistent with statements earlier this month by the Catholic official in charge of investigating clerical sex abuse, who told an Italian newspaper that his office has handled 60 percent of the cases referred to it without resorting to a trial, "above all because of the advanced age of the accused."
But the SNAP protestors stressed the gravity of Murphy's crimes, and especially the involvement of the future pope.
"[Benedict] owes it to every survivor and their families to be honest with us and explain what happened behind those walls, what was covered up, and to finally tell us the truth," Pilmaier said.
A few hours later, the Vatican responded with a front-page article in its official newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, under the headline "No Cover-up."
Insisting on the "transparency, firmness and severity" of the pope's approach to clerical sex abuse, the newspaper denounced what it called the media's "obvious and ignoble intention of striking, at all costs, at Benedict XVI and his closest collaborators."

Joss Whedon fans found something intriguing buried in ABC's website for advertisers: A page touting its heavily buzzed pilot S.H.I.E.L.D. revealing a new title and a more detailed description (below).
The title: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. A network representative tells EW that this title is not yet official. Keep in mind that titles often change during the development process (remember how Fox's The Mindy Project was originally called It's Messy?). At the very least, however, this title made it through enough layers of network approval to get previewed to Madison Avenue, and we hear this is what Marvel and the producers are currently calling the project as well.
Personally, I prefer S.H.I.E.L.D. It's one of the simplest and strongest pilot titles in contention for fall. Sure it has six periods — us TV bloggers haven't been so burdened since CBS unleashed $#*! My Dad Says. But as a title, S.H.I.E.L.D. has a clean M*A*S*H-like impact.
The issue could be the title's similarity to FX's former cop series The Shield. Perhaps all those periods aren't enough to distinguish S.H.I.E.L.D. from The Shield, either from a legal or marketing perspective.
If this is the new title, I hope ABC considers ditching the Marvel shout-out. Last year, The Avengers was officially called Marvel's The Avengers (most media outlets simply opted to call it The Avengers). In that case, too, there was the possibility for confusion with another TV show — the 1961 series The Avengers. But if ABC goes with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., there's no need for the intrusive studio branding of "Marvel," too. You don't see Sony's Justified and Warner Bros.' Big Bang Theory on the schedule. The play is the thing.
If greenlit to series — and we're pretty confident M.A.O.S. will be greenlit — the official title will be unveiled in May when ABC presents its fall schedule to advertisers. Frankly, ABC can call this project The Joss Whedon Superhero Action Variety Hour and we'll still watch.
Here's the new description. This is also not "official" but…
Joss Whedon (MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) shows us not all heroes are super with MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.
Fresh from his role in the summer's box office smash, MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D. He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to tackle the cases that haven't been classified yet, the new, the strange and the unknown. That team consists of straight arrow Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), an expert in combat and espionage; pilot and martial artist Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); and brilliant if socially awkward scientists Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge). They'll be joined by civilian new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).
Prepare for an epic adventure that showcases the hope and wonder of the human spirit. This is a world of Super Heroes, aliens and the unusual – of action, spectacle and world spanning stories. The show will speak to the human condition through the lens of our very human, non-powered S.H.I.E.L.D agents – that together we are greater than we are apart, and that we can make a difference in the world.
Executive Produced and co-written by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen (Dollhouse, Dr.Horrible's Sing-Along Blog), Jeffrey Bell (Angel, Alias) and Jeph Loeb (Smallville, Lost, Heroes) comes Marvel's first live-action TV series, MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

With World War II just over and her husband still away, Grace moves to a remote mansion in Jersey with her two children, both of whom have a dangerous allergy to sunlight. However, the arrival of a trio of servants brings with it a host of supernatural go
Fans of slasher horror - complete with spiralling body count, disfigured, wisecracking killer and hellishly sharp instruments of death - will find such things lacking in The Others.
The film marks the English language debut of Spanish writer-director, Alejandro Amenabar, already a Hollywood darling thanks to his previous effort, Open Your Eyes - which has been remade as the forthcoming Cameron Crowe/Tom Cruise collaboration, Vanilla Sky.
What you will get with The Others, however, are some of the creepiest, most atmospheric chills to permeate a cinema screen for years - for by choosing the unseen over the blatant, swapping graphic violence and gruesome murder for self-closing doors and self-playing pianos, and spilling not a single drop of blood along the way, Amenabar has created a haunting, imaginative shocker which is likely to rattle around in your brain for days after.
Kidman is superbly cast here, nailing the plummy English accent to perfection, as the repressed young woman who is forced to keep her photo-sensitive kids (Mann and Bentley) in a world where the curtains stay drawn.
It's the appearance of the new servants (including - yes!! - Eric Sykes) that serves as the catalyst for things to begin happening. And while you know that most of these are going to revolve around Kidman's desire to shield her children from the dangers of daylight and the peculiar list of rules she has imposed upon the household (permanently closed doors which suddenly develop a life of their own, forever-drawn curtains which mysteriously vanish overnight), that doesn't make them any less effective when they do.
While all of this might sound on paper like bog-standard haunted house theatrics (and anybody who saw The Haunting might well dread the thought of that), Amenebar's film is far cleverer.
The director's decision to opt for a slow ratcheting-up of tension is a wise one, given that it lends further credence to the scariest bits and instils a sense of dread and confusion in the audience during the film's quieter moments - the ones that serve to remind you that you never know exactly what's lurking round the next corner.
The small but strong cast display just the right level of creepiness, and the two child stars are a real find. Mann and Bentley do fall victim to the occasional bit of English whimsy, which makes the film feel rather too much like a BBC1 Sunday afternoon teatime drama, but for the most part they manage to be as unsettling as everybody else.
Ultimately though, it's Kidman who takes centre stage - and the big question now, of course, is whether her inevitable Oscar nomination will be for her role in Moulin Rouge, or for this, as the mother driven to distraction, consumed by over-protective love for her children, yet at the same time unable to comprehend the downfall of her safe haven.
In a way, The Others finishes what The Blair Witch Project started - once again reminding us that unseen forces often make for the scariest, most memorable cinematic experiences. It's certainly true if this is anything to go by.
A cracking bit of psychological horror which should confirm Amenabar's status as one of the hottest directors around.

Ever since the dotcom crash, I have been leery of growth stocks trading at insane multiples. Bubbles are real, and they have a way of popping. Bubbles may last a long time, but eventually they explode. That's why I've never been a fan of solar stocks. Here's why, and some stocks I think are destined to die.
In my opinion, solar power will never achieve global acceptance as a truly viable long-term power source. Currently, solar produces less than 0.1% of the world's energy usage. Sounds like a lot of market share to grab, right? The problem is that if you talk to homeowners and CEOs, they'll tell you the same thing: even with government subsidizing the purchase of solar equipment, solar does not pay for itself over the long haul -- and that is with government subsidies. America even has the most anti-oil Congress and President in ages. With both money and politics in solar's corner, there has been little to advance its cause or growth.
Some may laugh, and tell me to think long term. The problem is that over the long term, even if solar overcomes its hurdles and becomes more widely accepted, the technology and equipment will be commoditized. You don't want to own companies that produce a commodity because prices are continually driven lower, margins get squeezed, and growth shrinks.
So I suggest avoiding solar stocks and if you hold these stocks in your porfolio, you may want to exit sooner rather than later.
STR Holdings (NYSE:STRI) just reported sales that were down almost 50% year over year. The company had to sell its quality assurance unit to raise cash. It carries $235 million in debt, and has only generated $9 million of free cash flow in the TTM. By losing the $150 million in revenue from the sale of the assurance unit, it now must rely on its solar business in its entirety. I think STR is a possible short.
JinkoSolar Holding Company, Ltd (NYSE:JKS) is based in China, which is a red flag just to begin. I'm highly skeptical of Chinese stocks, whose companies are not required to have the same controls and procedures that domestic companies have. There are no SEC filings, and what little financial data exists doesn't look good, such as negative free cash flow of over $100 million in 2010. This may be a good short.
The same goes for JA Solar Holdings Co, Ltd. (NASDAQ:JASO) Negative cash flow, Chinese company, no SEC filings, huge increase in accounts payable, more debt than cash.
I don't care for SunPower Corporation (SPWRA). Despite $100 million of net cash on its balance sheet, the company had big negative cash flow numbers in 2008, and 2009, and did see some positive free cash flow last year. However, its net margins are under 1%, and while it grew revenue by 50% in 2010, its SG&A grew by almost 60%. Possible short, or at least a sell.
If you want to make money in energy, invest in oil producers. The world runs on oil and always will. Conoco-Phillips (CPO) had $17 billion in cash flow in 2010, against only $1.2 billion in interest and $27 billion in debt. ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) generated a whopping $48 billion in cash flow against a tiny $260 million in interest, and $12 billion in debt. Even BP, despite the Gulf spill, generated $13.6 billion in cash flow against $45 billion in debt, and they usually run $27 - $40 billion in annual cash flow. Chevron (NYSE:CVX) produced $31 billion in cash flow against only $11 billion in debt. And none of this even mentions the billions of cash these companies have on their balance sheets.
Each stock also offers steady, growing dividends. BP reinstated its dividend to a 3.8% yield, Chevron pays 3.1%, Conoco yields 3.6%, Exxon pays 2.3%. The compounding of reinvested dividends also helps turbocharge returns over time.

A province-wide ban on all open fires has gone into effect as of July 12.
The open fire ban will remain in effect until further notice. A significant rainfall will be required before a decision is made to lift the ban. The ban prohibits setting open fires for any purpose in woods or within 305 meters (1,000 feet) of woods in any part of the province.
The warm, dry weather we have been experiencing has brought the fire weather index to high or extreme throughout the province. An open fire ban is needed to reduce the potential for fire starts.
Significant rain is needed to improve conditions before the ban can be lifted.
People caught lighting fires can be fined, and they can be held responsible for all costs associated with suppressing a forest fire and any damages caused to homes and properties.
The ban applies to all outdoor fires, including devices such as chimineas. People can continue to use their barbeques and camp stoves, but should use extra caution when operating these appliances.
The decision to initiate an open fire ban is based on a number of factors, including a prolonged period of little or no rain, and a fire weather index of at least 80 per cent in any region. The fire weather index is a prediction of potential fire conditions and intensity.
There have been 289 wildfires in the province this year, covering 766.9 hectares of land.

The 1938 version of Ernst Jünger's The Adventurous Heart: Figures and Capriccios must be considered a key text in the famous German writer's sprawling oeuvre. In this volume, which bears comparison to the Denkbilder of the Frankfurt School, Jünger assembles sixty-three short, often surrealistic prose pieces—accounts of dreams, nature observations, biographical vignettes, and critical reflections on culture and society—providing, as he puts it, "small models of another way of seeing things." Here Jünger experiments with a new method of observation and thinking, uniting lucid and precise observation with the unconstrained receptivity of dreams. He calls this method stereoscopy, a form of perception by which our commonplace understanding is extended to include a simultaneous awareness of additional dimensions of sense or value in the object observed. But equally important to Jünger is an intuitive receptivity that comprehends matters directly at the midpoint of the matter, making laborious determinations of the periphery superfluous—intuition is a master key that opens all, and not just the individual doors of a house. With these methods, Jünger attempts to penetrate to the hidden harmony of things that lies behind the dualities of surface and depth, image and essence. This superb translation offers Anglophone readers a fresh look at one of twentieth-century Germany's most extraordinary writers.
"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
"This long-awaited translation of Ernst Jünger's surrealistic threnody to aestheticized violence and the stimulation of the senses still has the power to unsettle and fascinate its readers. For rather than a straightforward paean to the heroic glories of war, The Adventurous Heart dwells in exorbitant detail on other horrors. No wonder it dashed the expectations of readers like Josef Goebbels, who revered the Jünger who had once extolled the intoxicating 'front experience' of the First World War." --Martin Jay, Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley
"Not since Walter Benjamin's One Way Street have we seen a book open such a panoramic window into the state of perceptions and experiences in Weimar Germany. The vignettes collected here show a comparable degree of compression, but Jünger reverses the direction in his intense glance to search along that other road, down a street lined by another set of addresses, where he looks for traces of a surviving eternity, a persistent nature, rather than intimations of revolution." --Marcus Bullock, author of The Violent Eye: Ernst Jünger's Visions and Revisions on the European Right
"The Adventurous Heart is the last revolt of romanticism against the traditional world of normative laws and bourgeois beliefs. Jünger invents a strange somnambular landscape of terrifying events, daydreams, and allegoric scenes. His language produces different appearances of the fantastic or miraculous, which show significant similarities with early French surrealism. The dominating perspective is one of an aesthetics of sudden terror, shock, and suspicion, which finds its subversive or majestic symbolism." --Karl Heinz Bohrer, Professor Emeritus of Modern German Literary History, University of Bielefeld
"Among German writers of the twentieth century, Ernst Jünger holds a fascination that few can match. He was a remarkable witness of his time and place. This book offers a genuine service by making two of Jünger's more fanciful pieces available in English translation." --Allan Mitchell, author of The Devil's Captain: Ernst Jünger in Nazi Paris, 1941-1944
"Even Jünger's war reports include a metaphysical and moral dimension, replete with insights into nature and appeals to meditative reflection. This aspiration is especially evident in The Adventurous Heart, an extraordinary work where one finds not only the care of a certain literary poetics but also a reflection that one might well designate as mineral or crystalline, concerning the immutability of things and therefore nourishing a 'stereoscopic vision' in which two flat images overlap in order to reveal a dimension of depth." --Alain de Benoist, Editor of Krisis

Weaning from the breast
Whether you love (or loathe) breastfeeding, some day it has to end. And whether that day comes after a year or more (as the baby-health experts recommend) or earlier (for whatever reason), you may find weaning brings with it a bit of physical and emotional fall-out.
If the decision to wean from the breast is yours, you'll definitely find it easier if you:
1. Go slow. Gradually cutting out feeds over several weeks is much easier on your baby and your breasts. (Bear this in mind if you've a 'deadline' such as going back to work.) Drop the feeds one by one, starting with the one your baby seems least interested in. If your baby's on solids, that's likely to be the feed after her biggest meal of the day.
2. Have alternatives ready. If your baby's under a year old, you'll need to replace the breastfeeds you're dropping with bottles of formula. So, unless you really want to crank up the challenge, it's wise to make sure your baby will actually take a bottle before you start.
If she's over a year, you can offer her full-fat cow's milk instead, preferably in a beaker (then you won't have to wean her off the bottle habit later).
If your baby's just shy of her first birthday and you don't want to introduce formula or bottles, just make sure she's well-established on solids, including plenty of dairy products, and be careful to phase the breastfeeds out very slowly, not dropping the last feeds until after she's old enough to have cow's milk. Also try to find different ways to provide the comfort that breastfeeding gives her.
3. Don't give up. If you're trying to wean an older baby (or toddler) off the breast and you're not able to wait for her to self-wean, you may meet with a little (or a lot of) resistance. Again, dropping the feeds slowly will help your child adjust to the new way of things, as will being calmly consistent (no 'Oh, all right then, just this once!' relapses).
4. Treat yourself gently. Hanging up your nursing bra can send your body into a bit of a spin, especially if you stop rather abruptly. One Mumsnetter describes it as "like having two rock-solid footballs in your bra".
If your breasts are painful, try the old chilled cabbage-leaf trick again, wear a supportive bra, take a painkiller and avoid banging into anything at chest height. Try not to express to relieve the engorgement: it'll only trigger your breasts to produce more milk.
You may also find your emotions take a bit of a hormonal nosedive. This is normal, if a little heavy on tissue usage. Every time you well up because you're sad (or guilty or secretly relieved) at having given up, remind yourself that breastfeeding is only one stage of a lifetime of parenting - and there are plenty more just-as-special (and just-as-challenging) stages to come.
Self-weaning and nursing strikes
Breastfeeding experts will tell you that, left to her own devices, your child will one day decide for herself that she's had enough of the breast milk thing. Trouble is, that day may not always coincide with your own hopes, plans or inclinations.
And that could leave you feeling a bit shaky, as this Mumsnetter confirms: "It can be very upsetting - breastfeeding is very bound up with giving love in the mother and child relationship, and a child rejecting your milk can be extremely distressing."
If your baby's very clearly had enough of breastfeeding, though, you're probably going to have to accept it (especially if she's over 18 months).
But it's worth knowing that a younger baby can self-wean without really meaning it. This is called a 'nursing strike' and it's a kind of temporary hissy fit about breastfeeding that can be caused by anything from illness to a change of routine, or even having got a bit of a fright while feeding.
Babies who go on a nursing strike can usually be persuaded to get back to the 'breastface'. It may take some time and a fair bit of coaxing, though.
Mumsnetter tiktok suggests: "Try when your baby is sleepy, lure your baby to the breast, go somewhere quiet, keep skin to skin, try co-bathing. Don't fight, be patient. Try feeding in an unusual position: lying down, say, or standing up or twirling yourself around as you latch her on."
And if the nursing strike continues for more than day, express milk to ensure you maintain your milk supply and don't get blocked milk ducts or mastitis.
What Mumsnetters say about weaning from the breast
- Cold turkey isn't recommended because you'll end up engorged and susceptible to mastitis. I found it best to start with the feeds that coincided with a normal meal, replacing them with a beaker. I clung on to any feeds which resulted in a sleep! SoupDragon
- Offer a drink from a cup. Tell her she can have a feed later – and then distract her like mad. Mears
- Reclaim your body for yourself and enjoy it, knowing you have done the best you could for your kids. ProfessorGrammaticus

Foreign Exchange Risk of
Firms in Asia-Pacific
With financial markets becoming ever more global and fast-moving, currency exchange exposure can have a rapid and enormous impact on profitability and can be potentially devastating. Managing such exposure is a big, complex challenge, and studies have shown that companies in Western industrial countries are quite sophisticated in currency hedging and operate with a modest amount of risk. But what about companies in the rapidly emerging Asia-Pacific region? There, reliable data has been much less available.
PHOTO: David Parsley, Professor of Management (Finance)
Professor David Parsley of the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management and Helen Popper of Santa Clara University undertook a study that substantially clarifies the subject. They evaluated the extent of foreign exchange exposure among firms in Hong Kong and eight Asia-Pacific countries – Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand – and compared it to that of two benchmark countries, Australia and New Zealand. In addition, they researched whether there was a link between currency risk and the use of exchange rate "pegs."
13-Year Regional Analysis
The study examined the exchange rate exposure of companies in Hong Kong and the eight Asia-Pacific countries from 1990 through 2002. An average of 80 of the largest publicly traded companies were selected in each of the locations. In some cases, the economies of these countries varied greatly from Western economies in terms of size, participation in international trade and borrowing, financial development and exchange rate arrangements – that is, the policies and practices by which they interacted economically with the rest of the world and by which they pursued domestic monetary policy.
The 13-year span of the study encompassed a host of major changes in the economic landscape of the selected countries. In addition to dramatic macroeconomic shifts of the 1990s, there were sweeping financial reforms in many of the countries, including a liberalization of regulation of foreign exchange derivatives, which can be used to hedge some exposures. To highlight how the changes may have influenced currency markets, Parsley and Popper split the full sample into four three-year periods: 1990-1992, 1993-1995, 1996-1998, and 1999-2002.
Much Greater Currency Risk
Their findings? As reported in the November 2006 issue of The Journal of International Money and Finance, they show that many Asia-Pacific companies have significant exposure to foreign exchange risk, and their vulnerability is much greater than that of companies in large, developed Western economies, including the benchmark countries of Australia and New Zealand. "The basic issue we highlight is that many Asia-Pacific businesses haven't hedged their exposure and face significant risk of depreciation of their assets or severe increases in their debt obligations held in foreign currencies," said Prof. Parsley.
The researchers also noted that the increased orientation of Asia-Pacific countries to reduce restrictions on capital flows could, in some cases, have magnified currency risk. They suggest that currency market liberalization proceed at a "gradual" pace accompanied by more intense oversight of how companies access foreign exchange markets.
Dollar Yields Highest Risk
The study found that many Asia-Pacific firms showed significant exposure to fluctuations in one or more of the world's four major currencies: the U.S. dollar, the euro (deutschmark prior to 1999), the Japanese yen and the British pound. Some of the greatest vulnerabilities resulted from fluctuations in the dollar which, over the study period, impacted 76 percent of the studied companies in Korea, 61 percent in Malaysia, 58 percent in the Philippines, 54 percent in Indonesia and 47 percent in Singapore. Against the euro, Taiwan had the most exposed companies (27 percent), while the highest exposure to the Japanese yen occurred in Singapore (31 percent), and Hong Kong (30 percent). Relatively few companies in any of the nine markets were vulnerable to the British pound.
"These levels of exposure," the study reported, "are in stark contrast to those in most Western economies, where individual companies are adept at hedging their exposures against individual currencies, or more able to shift operations in response to major changes in exchange rates."
The researchers pointed out that "a potentially wide range of firms were exposed to rate movements regardless of their direct financial exposure." As might be expected, currency fluctuations affected the profitability of companies whose financial assets and liabilities (most notably debt) were held in foreign currencies and that had foreign-based operations. However, possibly less obvious was the significant impact that exchange rates had on companies with no foreign currency exposures but who competed with companies that did. Such companies could increase their market share as a result of a favorable exchange rate movement to the detriment of the firm with no apparent foreign currency exposure.
Not surprisingly, the greatest period of vulnerability was the Asian financial crisis, which occurred during the third study segment (1996-1998). More than half of the studied companies in Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines, and about a third of those in Japan and Singapore, were exposed to the dollar, and about a quarter of the firms in Singapore were exposed to the yen.
The Verdict on Pegs
The researchers discovered that currency pegs – where a country fixes the exchange rate of its currency to that of another country – are an imperfect solution. "It is sometimes argued that a fixed exchange rate regime offers a hospitable environment for business by providing stability and removing the need for expensive hedging," the study pointed out. However, the research showed statistically significant risk related to the dollar for a much greater number of companies with a peg in place than without one in Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. The results were even more pronounced with the yen. More than half the companies in Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines, and nearly a third of the companies in Taiwan and Thailand, showed significant exposure to fluctuations in the yen with a peg in place.
Even in the "rare case" of a stable exchange rate peg, the study found, the exchange rate cannot be fixed independently against more than one currency. "A firm's value may be quite sensitive to exchange rate fluctuations in this setting," the study warned. For example, if a currency is officially fixed against the U.S. dollar, say, it will still fluctuate freely against the yen and euro – and remain exposed to foreign exchange rate risk. "In contrast, firms in countries with freely floating currencies may be accustomed to hedging, and hedging may be less costly in such countries."
Exposure Has Not Abated
Prof. Parsley believes that the extent of exposure in the Asia-Pacific region identified in the study almost certainly continues today since hedging practices there have changed little. With this in mind, Prof. Parsley noted that the study makes a strong case for a gradual approach to liberalizing restrictions on currency flows and that liberalization should be accompanied by closer government oversight of how individual firms access foreign currencies, particularly in countries that have pegged exchange rates.
"Simply abandoning capital controls is not the way to go for these emerging economies," he contended. "Despite a Western push for market liberalization, economies throughout the region would be well advised to maintain a slow-and-steady approach, encouraging more company-level hedging, moving away from single-currency pegs, and further developing bond markets in the Asia-Pacific region."

By Joe Infurnari
Here we are at last, the final post in the Before Time F*cker series. Up until now, all of the hypothetical graphic novel proposals that I developed here never went any further than a cover image and maybe a synopsis. With Time F*cker, the creation of the proposal was so much fun and had so much potential, that it had to be only the beginning.
The original story synopsis went as follows.
Ronnie Macaluso is a New Jersey native deep in the throes of a brutal mid-life crisis. The years have not been kind to poor Ronnie. With all of his glories now behind him and none of his dreams on the horizon, Ronnie's lost his swagger. At age 40, he mostly staggers. While making his way to pick up lunch from the salumeria, Ronnie is deep in retrospective bliss when he's rudely awaken by Gianni Gigolo whose reckless hosing down of the sidewalk has soaked Ronnie to the skin. "You muthafu-" barely passes Ronnie's lips when he's struck with an idea! Two ideas, actually. The first being that he's always wanted to pork Gianni's mom and the second being that if he could do her before Gianni was born, maybe the kid would have turned out alright. If only he had a time machine, Ronnie pined, he could kill two birds with one bone.
As amazing as that sounds, Ronnie's too resigned to his failed life to either fantasize about Samantha Gigolo's foxy ass or to dream of having a time machine. As consolation, he trudges his way to the Cozy Cooze Cumporium's dumpster in search of some delete bin delicacies. But instead of outdated porn, Ronnie finds Thomas Edison's fabled Peepshow Time Machine! Moistened by Gianni's hose and his mom's derriere, Ronnie hops on the time machine and zips back in time to take care of business!
Ronnie knew exactly what to do. He had all the necessary information to finally seduce and preemptively impregnate Samantha Gigolo. As revenge, Gianni's genes would get a splash of Ronnie's RNA! Mission accomplished he flits back to the present. Success! Gianni no longer splashes water all over Ronnie's clothes but he's too busy chatting up shopgirl Pina Lorda to make Ronnie's sandwich! And so it was that every affront Ronnie avenged through time fucking only seemed to incur more affronts. As his list of names grew Ronnie was riding the time machine and many Jersey moms until he could no longer rise to the occasion of the overwhelming demand for genetic rejiggering. He had to explore the possibily of grandmothers, great grandmothers and even great great grandmothers to get more bang for his…bangs.
Eventually Ronnie had the idea that he would go so far back in time that he would seduce a female cro-magnon (a filly magnon as it were) and forever change the course of human history! Things didn't go exactly as planned but Ronnie persevered and the deed was done. While sharing a cigarette with the missing link, it occurred to him that he had become a modern Prometheus offering life and a light to future generations. It was the only time during Ronnie's adventures that the pheromone fog had cleared enough to see the larger significance of what he was doing. Ronnie was now father to all of humanity.
Upon his return to present day New Jersey, Ronnie was shocked and insulted! A race of sentient naked mole rats had inherited the Earth and his beloved New Jersey! The genetic material he had imparted to his Cro-Magnon mate just didn't have the right stuff to survive in those difficult times. Sad and dejected, Ronnie hops back onto the time machine/peep show a Chrononaut to explore the furthest reaches of time and space to reclaim mankind's grandeur through The Glorious Wormhole of Destiny!
There you have it; Time F*cker's original cover and origin story! But that's the past! Let's look to the future!
I'll be officially debuting the first Time F*cker story in print this weekend at SPX! Fans will want to snatch their own copy of this very limited edition of 300 books available in two formats; Standard and Deluxe. The standard version has the revised and final edit of "I'm Taking this Laying Down!" and the Deluxe 'Black Sack' version will have a copy of the book, a limited edition 1.25″ button (only 100 made!), an original inked sketch (each one unique!) all packaged in a discreet black ziploc bag! The Standard edition is limited to 200 copies while the Deluxe is limited to 100 copies.
Here is a scan of the book's cover:
Now let's take a look at the Deluxe 'Black Sack' Edition:
Each Deluxe Edition comes with an original ink sketch. Below is a sampling of some of the sketches:
Also included is a 1.25″ button that is also limited to an edition of 100. The button with custom card looks like this:
The book alone retails for $8.00 and the Deluxe Edition sells for $15.00. Considering the button and sketch incentives, I think you'll agree that the Deluxe is hard to pass up!
But that's not all! For those of you not going to SPX, both the book and the Deluxe set will be coming soon to the newly launching Time F*cker website, www.timefucker.com! Visitors to the site will see all the latest TF news and reviews as this project continues to grow!

Emma Stone: Sunset Tower Golden Girl
Enjoying a relaxing afternoon out, Emma Stone made a low-key arrival to the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, CA on Tuesday (November 20).
The "Easy A" actress looked casually chic in skinny jeans, an edgy jacket and gold shoes as she was escorted into the luxury hotspot by a hospitable staffer.
The sighting comes amidst rumblings that Emma and her "Spider-Man" beau, Andrew Garfield, may be taking their relationship to the next level.
According to a report put out by Real Estalker, the Hollywood lovebirds are planning on shacking up in a new 3,862 square foot Beverly Hills home that was sold for an impressive $2.5 million.
However, public records indicate that the new pad was purchased under Stone's manager Doug Wald's name, which still leaves open the possibility that the new abode is actually for himself and not for his famous client.

Project Management v1 to v2 Upgrade
- 1 Overview
- 2 Who does this apply to?
- 3 Worst case
- 4 The upgrade process
- 5 What should I do?
1 Overview
If you are currently using Project Management v1, and intend to upgrade to Project Management v2, read this entire article. Version 1 customers upgrading to v2 must perform some initial analysis prior to loading the v2 plugin.
2 Who does this apply to?
When you upgrade from Project Management v1 to v2, the system makes many changes to remove all the old, v1 functionality, and make way for the new v2 files. We want to ensure that no customizations in the system get overwritten in this process. Contact ServiceNow Technical Support prior to loading the v2 plugin if you are a v1 customer and you have:
- Modified any of the v1 Business Rules, Security Rules, UI Policies, Client Scripts, forms, or lists.
- Added your own Business Rules, Security Rules, UI Policies, Client Scripts to the pm_project or pm_project_task tables.
- Data in the pm_project or pm_project_task tables that is not accounted for in the Data capture section below (basically if you have added custom fields and want that data moved to the new system).
3 Worst case
Forms/Lists - If you've modified any pm_project or pm_project_task forms or lists, we won't be able to overwrite them with our new forms and lists (as you now own them), so after the upgrade they'll look as if they're missing some of their fields. This is due to us dropping most of the older fields, and replacing them with new ones. Fixing this is as simple as configuring the forms and lists again and re-adding the appropriate fields.
Data - When you upgrade your projects will be converted to the new v2 system. But the data in any custom fields might be left behind. Recovery of this data is simple, but is something that's not preferable if we can get ahead of it.
Policy - If you've made any changes to the out-of-box business rules, or have made any of your own policy, it may conflict with the new v2 policy.
If you find that any of these might apply to you, please contact ServiceNow Technical Support prior to loading the v2 plugin.
4 The upgrade process
4.1 Data Capture
Prior to making any changes to your system, we capture all existing projects (pm_project) and project tasks (pm_project_task) for the later step of reinserting all the data into the new structures. We capture the following fields:
- name (NOTE: short_description is NOT captured - rather, the name field is used to populate short_description. If a customer is using short_description in Project Management v1, they must copy those values to the name field BEFORE upgrading to v2)
- order
- state
- description
- cmdb_ci
- url
- work_notes
- comments
- location
- priority
- impact
- urgency
- number
- estimated_cost
- project_lead
- assigned_to
- assignment_group
- planned_start_date
- planned_end_date
- planned_duration
- parent
- project
- active
- percent_complete
- actual_start_date
- actual_end_date
- actual_duration
- automate
- company
|Note: If you have added custom fields to the task, pm_project, or pm_project_task tables, the data is not captured and is therefore not reinserted after the upgrade. If this occurs, contact ServiceNow Technical Support prior to loading the v2 plugin. We will help you export the custom data and reimport it after the upgrade.
4.2 Fields removed
After capturing all the appropriate data, the following fields from the original v1 plugin are no longer used and are removed from the system:
- pm_project - name
- pm_project - automate
- pm_project - template
- pm_project - task_count
- pm_project - planned_start_date
- pm_project - planned_end_date
- pm_project - planned_duration
- pm_project - actual_start_date
- pm_project - actual_end_date
- pm_project - actual_duration
- pm_project - estimated_cost
- pm_project - project_lead
- pm_project - template
- pm_project_task - name
- pm_project_task - has_child
- pm_project_task - project
- pm_project_task - uid
- pm_project_task - planned_start_date
- pm_project_task - planned_end_date
- pm_project_task - planned_duration
- pm_project_task - actual_start_date
- pm_project_task - actual_end_date
- pm_project_task - actual_duration
- pm_project_task - estimated_cost
- task - order
4.3 Policy Removed
All v1 Business Rules, UI Policies, Security Rules, Client Scripts, and so on are removed as part of the upgrade. With the upgrade, you get an entirely new set of rules that are better designed to work with v2.
If you have customized any of the v1 Business Rules, or created any of your own rules against the pm_project or pm_project_task tables, these rules must be removed manually (to prevent them from interrupting any of the new functionality).
4.4 Data Reinserted
After capturing your data, removing the old fields, and removing the old policy, we insert the new v2 fields and policy. Once that is complete, we reinsert your data. We reinsert most of the attributes listed above into the same fields. We also convert some of your old data using the following rules:
- Name becomes Short description
- Order gets converted to relationships in the planned_task_rel_planned_task table
- Documentation becomes HTML description
- Estimated cost (estimated_cost) becomes Estimated cost (cost)
- Project lead becomes Assigned to (only for project records)
- Planned start date (planned_start_date) becomes Planned start date (start_date)
- Planned end date (planned_end_date) becomes Planned end date (end_date)
- Planned duration (planned_duration) becomes Planned duration (duration)
- Project becomes Top task
- Actual start date (actual_start_date) becomes Actual start date (work_start)
- Actual end date (actual_end_date) becomes Actual start date (work_end)
- Actual duration (actual_duration) becomes Actual duration (work_duration)
- Automate gets converted to all project tasks in the form of their Time constraint...'ASAP' if automate was checked, 'Start on' if not
5 What should I do?
The best way to be sure that your upgrade is guaranteed to go smoothly is to contact Technical Support and let us do a quick analysis of your system. We'll be able to tell you whether additional work will be necessary in order to complete your upgrade. But if you'd like to do it on your own, follow these steps:
5.1 Data backup
If you think you're ok, but want a fail-safe, go ahead and do the following:
- Create a report against the 'Project (pm_project)' table. Make it a list report, not grouped, selecting ALL columns to be displayed.
- Run the report, and when the results come back, right-click on the header bar of the list, and choose 'Export -> Excel'.
- Now do the exact same process for the 'Project task (pm_project_task)' table.
Taking this rudimentary data backup ensures that we can quickly recover if any data is lost during the upgrade.
5.2 Reconfigure forms and lists
If you had made changes to them while using the original v1 plugin, your forms and lists may look odd after your upgrade. Not to worry, they just need to be reset using our new fields. Feel free to configure them any way you'd like, but here are the defaults:

UPLAND - The latest action taken by the city to shut down a medical marijuana cooperative has failed.
The 4th District Court of Appeals in Riverside returned the city's motion to dissolve a stay granted to G3 Holistic because jurisdiction lies with the California Supreme Court, said Rachel Borba, the court's assistant deputy clerk.
"We're still waiting to see what the Supreme Court has to tell us," Borba said.
The city and cooperative disagree whether a stay granted in June by the appellate court on an injunction granted to the city in August 2010 by the West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga allows the co-op to remain open.
G3 and city lawyers met Jan. 9 in court, but Judge Barry Plotkin decided to have the Court of Appeal's stay further reviewed as well as the West Valley court's jurisdiction.
They will reconvene Thursday in court.
Upland City Attorney William Curley said the Court of Appeal's return of the motion would mean the stay expired.
"If this is the case, it means that the stay order previously issued by the Court of Appeal expired by its own terms, which should clear the way for the court in Rancho Cucamonga to grant Upland's request to issue contempt citations and order the appointment of a receiver on January 19," Curley said.
However, G3 attorney Roger Jon Diamond said West Valley does not have jurisdiction over the case and the city should cancel Thursday's hearing.
"After this goof by the city attorney, I was hoping that they would finally agree with them that they're wasting all this money, all these resources and should simply wait until the state Supreme Court decision what to do in my case," Diamond said.
"But, apparently, they're undeterred and they're going ahead with a hearing on Thursday at 1:30 in the face of what just happened in the Court of Appeals."
The city filed a motion last week with the court requesting it dissolve the stay granted to G3 in June.
The stay was granted to allow G3 to remain open until their case against the city was heard in November.
The co-op was fighting an injunction granted by the West Valley Superior Court in August 2010 that shut them down along with several other co-ops in the city.
The city's zoning ordinance prohibits medical marijuana dispensaries.
The appellate court ultimately sided with the city on Nov. 9, but G3 is appealing the decision to the state Supreme Court.
Diamond filed an appeal with the state Supreme Court in December.
The Supreme Court is expected to make its decision on whether to take the case on Feb. 8.
G3 closed following a raid by DEA agents on Nov. 1.
They reopened on Dec. 30 under the belief that the stay granted by the Appellate Court was still in effect because their case is pending on appeal.
City officials took them to West Valley Superior Court on Jan. 6 because they do not agree the stay is still in effect.
The judge ruled to have further research done on the Appellate Court's decision as well as on West Valley's jurisdiction.

Subject: Double allele values in haplogroup G
Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2006 11:14:45 -0800 (PST)
We had a new member join the Sicily Project today. He
has 37 markers and has been predicted as haplogroup G
by FTDNA and he has ordered their new deep clade test
for G.
In looking at this haplotype, I saw values for DYS19 I
have never seen before - 15+17. Does anyone know what
this means?
Also, his DYS464 values are 14-14-14-16. Do these
values, in G or any haplogroup, indicate anything
unusual going on, such as some values for DYS464 in
R1b indicate a recLOH?
I don't know his ysearch ID, but if you go to our
website, at
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Sicily/, he is
#18/kit 33943 on the list of yDNA haplotypes.
