This is my youngest son, Hayden. Today's his birthday. That picture was taken at a petting zoo. I remember snapping that picture and having a whole ton of stuff run through my mind in that instant. Ever have that happen? Well today, I'd like to give you a peek into my mind. Today you get to read all of the random thoughts that flowed through my mind in the instant it took me to snap one photo. I know it's a frightening prospect, but here goes.
Holy smokes I can't believe that giant kid is my baby. That's funny, my kid is holding a kid. How could anyone kill a cute little goat? Goats have been used for religious sacrifices all over the world. The Jews used lambs though. Can't imagine being a temple priest and killing a bunch of little lambs. I don't think I could do it.
For that matter, if I owned a cute little baby lamb I don't think I could take it to the temple to be killed. God did a lot more than take his cute little lamb to the altar of sacrifice; He took his son. Look how cute Hayden is. He's so big. I love him more than life. There's not a chance I'd let him die as a sacrifice for all the screwed up people in the world. NO WAY!
How'd you do it, Lord? I can't even begin to imagine.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
~John 3:16 (NLT)

Potsdam, Germany (SPX) Jun 24, 2013
The Indian monsoon is a complex system which is likely to change under future global warming. While it is in the very nature of weather to vary, the question is how much and whether we can deal with it. Extreme rainfall, for example, bears the risk of flooding, and crop failure.
Computer simulations with a comprehensive set of 20 state-of-the-art climate models now consistently show that Indian monsoon daily variability might increase, according to a study just published by scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
"Increased variability - this rather technical term translates into potentially severe impacts on people who cannot afford additional loss," says Anders Levermann, one of the study's authors and co-chair of PIK's research domain Sustainable Solutions.
"The fact that all these different models agree is a clear message that adaptation measures can be built on." Even if seasonal mean precipitation would remain unchanged, impacts could be substantial, Levermann points out.
"Focusing on the average is not always useful. If rainfall comes in a spell and is followed by a drought, this can be devastating even if the average is normal. This requires the right kind of adaptation measures that account for this variability - such as intelligent insurance schemes, for example."
"Limiting global warming is key, adaptation cannot replace but rather complement it"
The strongest change of 13 to 50 percent is found in a scenario in which greenhouse gases continue to be emitted unabated. However, even if global warming would be limited to the internationally acknowledged threshold of 2 degrees Celsius of global warming, this would bear the risk of additional day-to-day variability between 8 and 24 percent above the pre-industrial level, according to the analysis. "So limiting global warming is key to reduce day-to-day monsoon variability, adaptation cannot replace but rather complement it," says Levermann.
The researchers focused on the ten models with the most realistic monsoon pattern - a conservative approach, as these ten models yield generally lower rates of change. The other ten models showed higher rates of change. "This is not about exact percentages. It is the clear trend that conveys the message," says Arathy Menon, lead-author of the study.
The scientists used the latest ensemble of climate models, prepared for the 5th assessement report of the International Panel on Climate Change. All of them show increased variability.
"This is a robust indicator"
About 80 percent of annual rainfall in India occur during the monsoon season from June through September. Factors that could perturb rainfall regularity include the higher holding capacity of moisture of the warmer air, but also more complex phenomena like cooling in the higher atmosphere which changes current pressure and thereby rainfall patterns.

Richard Bachman
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
In a shocking confession, best-selling horror maestro Stephen King has admitted to having shared "home, hearth, and bed" with another writer, Richard Bachman, for several years during his marriage to wife Tabitha. Having nearly died following his having been struck by Bryan Smith, who, although driving, was involved with his dog, Smooches, and claims not to have seen King, who was walking alongside Route 5 while reading a novel, King decided to "come clean" about his relationship with Bachman.
edit Close Relationship Admitted
Without commenting on whether he and Bachman shared an intimate relationship, King admits that "we were closer than brothers; it was as if we were the same person." Tabitha, too, has declined to comment on whether her husband's "friendship" with Bachman included sexual dalliance. "Let's just say that Stephen and Richard were closer than Stephen and me" is all she will say.
edit Initial Attempt at Subtrefuge
At first, King claimed that Bachman was merely a "penname," which he'd used, according to the notoriously unreliable online encyclopedia Wikipedia, to determine whether his books "would sell without having his name on them" and because King "worried that many of the non-horror novels he wanted to write would clash with the expectations of his fans." His explanation suggested that the apparent similarities between King's works and Bachman's resulted simply from the fact that King and Bachman were the same writer by different names.
However, after his near-fatal accident, King decided that "God told me to be honest about my relationship with Richard." King first told Tabitha, and then he informed the public through a press conference in Bangor, Maine, his hometown.
edit A Ménage a Trios?
Bachman is rather reclusive, and it is not known whether he still shares bed and board with his more famous friend. Fans speculate that he, Stephen, and Tabitha may be involved in a ménage a trios. "They're kinky," a neighbor said, citing the lesbian "marriage" of one of King's daughters, Naomi, to a former university professor, Unitarian minister Thandeka.
The Rev. Dr. Thandeka says the fact that Bachman's semen has been found in the Kings' bedsheets doesn't necessarily mean that Bachman has had sex with her father-in-law. "Believe me, if Richard's semen were to be found in my bed, it wouldn't mean he'd been intimate with me, and it doesn't mean he's been intimate with Dad [i. e., Stephen King]. Maybe he's banging Tabby, or maybe he had a wet dream, or maybe he was masturbating and became a little too exuberant. Like shit, semen happens."
edit Bachman's Books
Bachman is the author of seven novels, all of which are successful, but none on the huge scale of King's works:
- Rage (1977)
- The Long Walk (1979)
- Road Work (1981)
- The Running Man (1982)
- Thinner (1984)
- The Regulators (1996)
- Blaze (2007)
edit Bachman's Alleged Death
In a foreword to The Regulators, King claims that Bachman died of cancer in late 1985 and that his widow, Claudia Inez Bachman, found the manuscript in 1994 while preparing to move into a new house. He says that she asked him to help her find a publisher, which he did. Neither the widow nor Tabitha will comment on King's allegations. However, the local postmaster contends that mail addressed to Richard Bachman, including royalty checks from his publisher, is still delivered to King's Bangor residence "and not to the dead letters department" of the local post office, and declares that "opening another person's mail is a felony."
A close friend of the King family says that "Bachman is alive and well and living with Stephen and Tabby." He is terrified to admit that he is alive, however, because, for personal and financial reasons, King "wants him 'dead.'" The friend observed that Smith, who struck and nearly killed King while dallying with his dog Smooches, "died on September 21, 2000--Stephen's birthday." This source believes the "coincidence too ironic to be coincidence" and notes that King also anonymously purchased the car that struck him "so he could have the pleasure of destroying it with a sledgehammer, as a character in King's novel Misery used a sledgehammer to break the ankles of a writer who wanted to abandon her." (King was convinced to allow the vehicle to be crushed in a junkyard instead.) "Maybe," the friend confides, "Richard doesn't believe in coincidence; maybe he gets Stephen's messages loud and clear."
If Bachman didn't die, who is buried beneath the headstone that bears his name? "Stephen's not saying," the friend declares, "and neither am I!"

Crossovers and sport utility vehicles that blend functionality and luxury are in demand. GMC is working at enhancing its entire lineup with the premium Denali treatment. For 2013, the truck manufacturer gives Denali prestige to its Terrain, adding style and sophistication to this small crossover.
Like its larger Acadia and Yukon siblings, the 2013 GMC Terrain Denali ups the ante with distinctive interior and exterior appointments, as well as with new infotainment and safety technologies. Starting at $35,350 with FWD and $37,100 for the AWD version, the Terrain Denali's exterior is distinguished from the standard Terrain with upscale appointments.
This premium Terrain wears the signature Denali round-hole chrome grille, boldly adorned with a red GMC logo; more satin-chrome accents, including special side molding, door handles, heated power mirrors and roof-rack side rails; front and rear body-colored fascias; and distinguishing headlamps and taillamps.
Models powered by the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine get a single chrome-finished exhaust outlet and 18-inch, five-spoke satin-chrome-clad aluminum wheels. The 3.6-liter-V-6-powered Terrain Denali models have dual chrome-finished exhaust outlets and roll on 19-inch, six-spoke satin-chrome-clad aluminum wheels.
Powering the Terrain Denali is a standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder, delivering 182 horsepower at 6,700 rpm and 172 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,900 rpm. Benefiting from Direct Injection and camshaft phasing, the four-cylinder's estimated fuel economy is 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway on FWD models, and 20 mpg city/29 mpg highway on AWD models.
The four-cylinder is a respectable performer, but the optional 3.6-liter V-6 provides a considerable power boost, albeit at a sacrifice in fuel economy. The V-6, which adds $1,750 to the price tag, generates 301 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 272 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm. While the 3.6-liter is more powerful than its 3.0-liter V-6 predecessor, its estimated fuel economy is the same -- 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway with FWD and 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway with AWD models.
Both engines are mated with a six-speed automatic transmission, and regular-unleaded gasoline is recommended to fill their tanks -- 18.8 gallons for the 2.4-liter and 20.9 gallons for the 3.6-liter.
An engineering highlight exclusive to the 2013 Terrain Denali is a new dual-flow damper system, which enhances the suspension with a smoother ride quality and better handling across a wider range of driving conditions.
Along with a compliant ride, those aboard the five-passenger Terrain Denali enjoy an interior with a luxurious look and feel. Seats and door inserts are clad with Jet Black perforated leather with contrasting stitching, and driver- and front-passenger seats provide eight-way power adjustability. Front seatbacks are embossed with the Denali logo and the soft-touch instrument panel is trimmed with French stitching. Smoked mahogany wood trim accents the interior, including the leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The 60/40-split-fold rear seat can be moved fore and aft, and the seatbacks recline. Folding the seatbacks flat expand cargo capacity to 63.9 cubic feet. The cargo compartment is accessed via a programmable power liftgate, featuring a memory function that stops the liftgate at a chosen height.
Standard entertainment/infotainment features include: GMC IntelliLink Hands-Free smartphone integration with Bluetooth Audio Streaming and voice-activated audio controls; and Color Touch AM/FM/Sirius FM radio with 7-inch screen, CD/MP3 player, auxiliary input and USB port; and premium eight-speaker sound with amplifier and equalization.
Radar-based safety systems standard on Terrain Denali include Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Forward Collision Alert audibly and visually warns drivers when the chance of a collision is high; Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver with three low-pitch beeps that the vehicle is straying out of the lane; Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert help avoid collisions by using radar to watch spots the driver may not be able to see.
StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction control, and four-wheel-disc brakes are standard, as well as six airbags -- dual frontal airbags; head curtain side airbags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side airbags.
GMC's smallest Denali is a solid addition to its family of premium vehicles, adding an extra dose of style and luxury to the company's "Professional Grad formula.

'US Taleban' refused access to lawyer
A US appeals court has refused an American-born Taleban prisoner captured in Afghanistan permission to see lawyers in a case that could have implications for other such detainees.
Yaser Esam Hamdi, 21, was detained at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba until US authorities discovered he was born in the state of Louisiana to Saudi parents and had him transferred to US soil.
He is currently being held in a jail in a US naval base in Norfolk, Virginia.
The court ruled that in a time of war the US attorney general has the right to hold an enemy combatant in military detention incommunicado.
The decision reversed an earlier ruling by a district court in the state that had permitted Mr Hamdi to meet public defender Frank Dunham.
The news comes as the British alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid lost a legal battle to have the term "al-Qaeda" removed from the indictment against him.
Mr Reid, whom US authorities accuse of attempting to blow up a commercial flight using bombs hidden in his shoes, had argued that the wording was inaccurate, however the presiding judge said he was satisfied with the reference being used.
Legal arguments
Mr Hamdi's lawyers had argued that, as an American, he should be given all the rights as granted to him by the US constitution, which would include access to a lawyer and the right to a trial by jury.
But presiding Judge J Harvie Wilkinson disagreed, saying that in their previous decision the district court had not considered the implications of Mr Hamdi's case, such as the gathering of intelligence.
However in giving his decision the judge said that such decisions could still be open to judicial review, otherwise, he said, the US Government could hold indefinitely anyone it claimed was an enemy fighter.
Human rights groups in the US have contended that the rights of several US-born terror suspects, such as Mr Hamdi, John Walker Lindh and alleged "dirty bomber" Jose Padilla, accused of trying to mount a radiation attack in the US, are being violated.
BBC correspondent Alex Van Wel said that the judge appeared to address this by saying that in a time of war the US president had the right to determine who could be classified as an enemy combatant.

Is heading in soccer dangerous? It's a question that has met its fair share of controversy.
It works kind of like a soccer net. When you kick the ball into the net, it absorbs the energy of the ball and eventually stops its forward motion.
It's commonly believed that children are socialized into their respective gender roles. Pink is for girls, blue for boys, right?

'Saturday Night Live' Recap: Martin Short Spreads Holiday Cheer With Paul McCartney; Samuel L. Jackson's Questionable F-Bomb (VIDEOS)
The show opened with a tribute to the Connecticut elementary school shooting victims with help from the New York City Children's Chorus, who sang a beautiful rendition of "Silent Night." The group also delivered the classic "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night" announcement (video below).
"SNL has always been my first love, followed by my movies, then theater, then my money and my family," Short joked during his opening monologue.
The 62-year-old SNL vet then launched into a musical number, to the tune of "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," but tweaked the theme to represent the real meaning of Christmas: being "amorous."
With cameras following him through the halls of the SNL studio, Martin delivers a whole lot of love to Tom Hanks, Jackson, and SNL alums Kristen Wiig, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels, who was on the receiving end of a very big kiss from the host.
No changes are to be made to this player
The evening wrapped with McCartney taking part in for a sketch that turned into a full-blown performance of "Wonderful Christmas Time," along with the return of the New York City Children's Chorus.
Saturday Night Live will return Jan. 15, with host Jennifer Lawrence and musical guest The Lumineers.
What did you think of this week's 'Saturday Night Live?' Do you think Samuel L. Jackson dropped the f-bomb? Weigh in below.

As a new author I am seeking advice or suggestions to a recent rejection. I uploaded a pack of audio which included a female voice speaking the letters of the alphabet and numbers, fairly basic..
The audio pack was rejected and the reason sited was "The file did not meet our criteria", and the email went on to say that there was nothing wrong with my submission and that the submission "offered very little utility to our audieance". No other information, feedback, or suggestions were given. Therefore I am seeking some advice on this situation as, especially from some of the senior members of the marketplace. Before I provide my perspective I will first say I respect the decisions of the reviewer(s) and the rules of the site and am only posting hopes to see where I went off the tracks, no pun intended.
Again, the audio pack consisted of spoken letters "A"-"Z" and numbers "0-9" and is a subset of spoken words for each key on a standard computer keyboard.
I disagree with the statement that these sounds provided little or no utility to the audience. I have seen numerous audio files on the marketplace that had huge sales and be nothing more than a beep. There are various voice overs on this site that provide just a countdown and/or random phrases. Who knows or can say what is useful, in my opinion these spoken letters and numbers can be utilized numerous projects, here is just a few examples:
- An app/project that uses a virtual keyboard where audible feeback is desired
- An app/project that provides some benefit to the visually imparied
- An app/project, or other project for teaching childeren their 'ABC's
- An arcade game that annouces the initials selected by a player during highscore screen
- An app/project that requires a count-up or countdown such as "3..2..1", etc.
This is just a few off the top of my head. Would I of sold any of these packs, who knows and would it eventually get removed by the moderators for lack of sales after a specific time frame, who knows? I believe if the audio falls within the quality standards and is not something that is overally saturated in the marketplace it should be the consumers that make the ultimate decision on the usefullness.
My only other issues is that being a new author and truly wanting to belong and provide great and useful content, I would be given more detailed reasons and/or suggestions as to how I could improve and/or alter my submission. Nothing was useful….sorry try again seems a little vague.
Thank you to all that read this post and who have or will comment with/without suggestions.
I totally agree with the author.
Hello Onyx
Don't worry about it to much. I had the same reason rejections lately on "special" or "niche" files. I just upload them usualy as free content to my website
You have to keep in mind, that every single person has another view of things. One thinks this could be of great use, while another would not see any use for it. Reviewers will always decide, if there could be a majority of customers being interrested in that particular file. So, as i could see many places where your file is useful, it is something special and many of the customers probably have a basic 1-9 number voice recording already.
Keep on uploading, and you will shortly have your first sale for sure

Need help pinpointing vibration on a 2000 323i auto steptronic

Need help pinpointing vibration on a 2000 323i auto steptronic
I have a 2000 323i steptronic transmission, am33. 109689miles
I have a intermittent vibration that feels like it's coming from the rear. I thought it was coming from the right rear tire but my girlfriend swears it's coming from the left rear tire so that makes me think it's starting at the diff. The best way I can describe it is it feels like I'm hitting a rumble strip for a second and the car pulls back. You can feel the resistance in the rear end and the tach drops in rpms. I made a video of the tach when it happens, this is a less severe occurrence then normal but I frigured a video would help more than me trying to explain it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I should also mention that there are no codes and the vibration occurs in all tranny modes, d, s d, and m. I thought it was the transmission for awhile but it doesn't do it under acceleration. It only seems to do it when i'm driving at a steady rpm.

text: Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) ok, so i have this friend whose husband is driving her up the wall. he is so stubborn in everything and never considers her in decision or considers her feelings. he is a very detatched, emotionless person, i have seen this for myself; and doesn't respond to her, period. needlesss to say, she feels totally alone in their relationship. not a good example for their two very young children. they've been married for three years. the guy says he's a christian, but as far as i can tell he's just outward for show to others. my friend is at the end of herself, she feels like she can't even pray about him anymore, or even love him. she says: how can you love someone who will never ever love you back? any thoughts/advice as well as prayer is appreciated. i really know what to say to her anymore, but my heart so goes out to her.

Wonderful NOS cruise experience: Navigator of the Seas Cruise Review by Happy_Traveler_2008
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful NOS cruise experience
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
We took the train from Rome to the port thanks to advice from fellow CruiseCritic.com members and find it to be a relatively easy process. Be prepared for the 10 minute from train station to the port entrance.
The check-in process at Civitavecchia was quick. Our room was ready when we got there at 1:30. Our room steward was very efficient and he also made us towel animals for the last 5 nights. Room was spacious enough for 3 people and we were able to hang up or store most of our clothes. The location on Deck 2 turned out to be great since it was quiet and close to the disembarking area located at Deck 1 below. The only thing to be aware of is that you can't walk through the whole ship on decks 2 and 3.
We had the early 6:15 seating but we were able to show up as late as 7 pm. Our waiters (Tirencio and Valentin)were very friendly More and helpful. We got our food delivered very quickly and can finish dinner in about an hour if we wanted to. Food was plentiful and generally good. The Indian menu is very authentic. We especially love the chocolate desserts, cheesecakes and parfaits. The Windjammer Cafe can be crowded during breakfast time, especially on the last day but has a good variety of food selections.
Loved the activities on board. We did rock climbing, ping pong, miniature golf, shuffleboard and inline skating. Enjoyed watching the 2 ice shows and many of the nightly entertainment. The comedian acrobat and magician were very entertaining.
We explored Palermo on our own. Really loved the architecture at Monreale Cathedral which we took a bus to get to. Also saw the Norman Palace inside Palermo. Many sights and stores were closed for afternoon siesta unfortunately.
Since we've been to Athens before, we chose to hire a taxi to take us to the lovely Vouliagmeni beach, about 30 minutes away. Did have to haggle with many taxi drivers before settling on a reasonable rate. Also visited the spa lake nearby that had therapeutic waters. Had trouble buying bus tokens to take the bus back to the port but otherwise, it was a great escape from the heat in Athens.
We hired a private guide from Sammy's Travel to visit Ephesus and it was a great experience. We got to see the ruins, Terrace Houses, Mary's House, St. John's Cathedral and a local mosque. Had lunch with our lovely tour guide. Still had about 1.5 hour to shop at stores in Kusadasi which is a very lovely city.
Hired another private guide in Istanbul through Ekol travel and was disappointed in the guide. He was not very informative so we didn't feel as if we got our money's work. Got to see the Blue Mosque, Haghia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. Only got to spend 30 minutes in the Grand Bazaar which is not nearly enough time.
We walked from the port to the White Tower in Thessaloniki. Saw many cafes along the waterfront. Visited the nice Byzantine and Archaeological Museums before heading back to ship. No time for local churches.
Booked a private car through Malta Travel Net for Malta which was great. The driver was friendly and informative and allowed us to change the itinerary at the last minute. We saw the ruins of Hagar Qim, fishing village of Marsaxlokk and the marvelous medieval city of Mdina. Wished the ship will dock for longer period so we'll have more time for sightseeing and shopping.
Joined the ship's excursion to see ruins at Nora in Sardinia. The guide was very informative. The beach nearby was beautiful and clean. Too bad we didn't have time to stay. The city of Cagliari is hilly but interesting to see. We visited the local cathedral, tried the local gelatos and did some shopping in the old town area.
The departure at Barcelona was not too bad. Had to wait in the Ixtapa lounge for about an hour for our tour to Montserrat. The rock formations at Montserrat is very interesting. Couldn't really visit the cathedral since services were taking place but did get a view of the Black Virgin statue from afar. We were then driven to the airport for our flight to Granada.
We spent an extra day in Granada and Barcelona to visit the local sights and had a great time as well. Alhambra is amazing as usual with the fine detailed carvings of walls and ceilings. Got to see it at night from the vista point in Albacin.
Visited Gaudi's Batllo House and Sacred Family Temple which were very interesting.
All in all, we really enjoyed our RCL cruise. Would definitely take it again for the right itinerary!
The passenger were a mix of Americans, British, Spaniard, Italians and some Germans. Mostly older people since it's not school vacation time.

wikiHow to Access Your Samsung Galaxy S's Files
Two Methods:Using Your ComputerUsing a File ManagerCommunity Q&A
Your Samsung Galaxy S is a lot more than just a phone. Like all Android devices, you can plug your Galaxy S into your computer to access the files stored on the device. You can also download a file manager app that allows you to see your files without having to connect to a computer.
Using Your Computer
1Open the Settings app on your Galaxy S. You will need to change the USB connection settings so that your device properly appears when you connect it to your computer.
2Tap "Wireless and network". Select "USB Settings" from the list of available options.
3Select "Mass Storage" from the list of ways to connect. This will turn your Galaxy S into an external hard drive when you connect it to your computer, allowing you to access all of the files on it.
- Note: Different versions of the Galaxy S will have different labels for these options, but generally they are all very similar.
4Plug your Samsung Galaxy S into your computer using a USB cable. You should see a notification that the drivers for your phone are being installed.
5Pull down your phone's Notification bar. Tap the "USB Connected" option.
6Tap "Connect USB storage" or "Mount USB storage". This will enable your phone to appear on your computer.
7Open your computer's connected devices. In Windows, press ⊞ Win+E to see all of your connected devices. In OS X, the Samsung Galaxy S should appear on your desktop.
8Double-click on your Samsung Galaxy S. This will open the phone's storage, allowing you to see all of the files and folders on it. You can copy, delete, move, and create files just like you would with any folder on your computer.
9Find your files. There are several places the files you are looking for may be located:
- Downloads - Anything you download through your browser or from email attachments should be located in your Downloads folder.
- DCIM - Pictures you've taken with your Samsung Galaxy S camera will be located in the DCIM folder.
- Music - Any music files that you've copied over using Samsung Kies will be located in the Music folder.
- Pictures - Screenshots and other system images will be found in the Pictures folder.
10Install Samsung Kies if you cannot connect. Some versions of Windows and OS X may not be able to properly connect to the Samsung Galaxy S. If this is the case and you are receiving errors about missing drivers, download and install Samsung Kies. This is the management software for all Samsung devices, and contains all of the necessary drivers for your phone to connect.
- You can download Kies for free from samsung.com/kies.
- Download version 2.6 for older devices like the original Samsung Galaxy S.
11Troubleshoot a non-working connection. If you still can't get your Samsung Galaxy S to appear on your computer when it's connected, there are a couple things you can try.
- Windows - Update to Windows Media Player 11 or newer. The latest version of Windows Media Player is required in order to successfully connect your phone. To update Windows Media Player, start the program, click Help, select Check for updates, and follow the prompts to update the software.
- Mac OS X - Download the Android File Transfer program. This is a tool developed by Android to allow Android devices to connect to Mac computers. You can download it for free from android.com/filetransfer/. Double-click the download DMG file and drag Android File Transfer to the Applications folder. You will need to run it once when you connect your Samsung Galaxy S, and then it will run automatically in the future.
Using a File Manager
1Open the Google Play Store. The app store allows you to download a variety of free and paid apps for your Samsung Galaxy S.
2Search for a file manager app. There are a large number of file manager apps available on the Google Play Store. These apps allow you to access all of the files on your device, and you can perform standard computer functions such as copying, deleting, renaming, and even archiving.
- Popular free file managers include ES File Explorer, Astro File Manager. File Manager, and X-Plore File Manager. All of these file managers have free versions.
3Open your new file manager. Once the file manager app has been downloaded and installed, you can open it to access the files on your phone. You'll see a list of all the folders in your phone's storage. You can navigate the folders much like you would on a computer.
4Press and hold files and folders to take actions. Most file managers allow you to press and hold a file or folder to select what action you want to take. You can copy, cut, move, rename, delete, and more.
5Find your files. There are several places the files you are looking for may be located:
- Downloads - Anything you download through your browser or from email attachments should be located in your Downloads folder.
- DCIM - Pictures you've taken with your Samsung Galaxy S camera will be located in the DCIM folder.
- Music - Any music files that you've copied over using Samsung Kies will be located in the Music folder.
- Pictures - Screenshots and other system images will be found in the Pictures folder.

This message originated from http://www.balidiscovery.com/ Find it online at http://www.balidiscovery.com/messages/message.asp?Id=10013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(11/15/2013) Internationally renowned zoologist and zookeeper, Bernard Harrison is now confirmed to be the Keynote Speaker at Indonesia's first Animal Training and Enrichment Conference to be held at the Bali Safari and Marine Park December 1-5, 2013 (ATEC 2013).
Bernard Harrison at ATEC
Harrison is the former CEO of the Singapore Zoological Garden and the man credited with developing the creative vision and innovative approach to zoo management now synonymous with that facility. Addressing the world leaders and innovators in animal training and enrichment techniques gathering in Bali, Harrison will share insights and experiences gleaned from his stint as the "Boss of the Singapore Zoo" during which he pioneered The Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia Exhibit depicting an Ethiopian village; The Fragile Forest containing a miniature eco-system; and the world renowned Singapore Night Safari.
Famous for creating enclosures that resemble playgrounds instead of cages. His "open" concept also extended to human enclosures as well, creating see-through fencing and basins surrounded by plants in washrooms – an idea Harrison says was inspired by a Bali holiday.
When the Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) was formed in 2000 to oversee the operations of the Singapore Zoo, the Jurong Bird Park and the Night Safari Harrison was appointed the CEO.
After leaving that position in 2002, he established the consultancy firm of "Harrison and Friends" specializing in zoo planning and design.
ATEC at Bali Safari and Marine Park
The Bali Safari and Marine Park is a 40-hectare park that is home to more than 400 animals representing 60 species found in Indonesia, India and Africa is hosting ATEC 2013.
A recognized leader in captive animal breeding and animal enrichment programs, the safari park features animals in natural and spacious surroundings, a water park, a boutique safari-themed hotel and the 1,200 seat Bali Agung Theatre – home to a daily theatrical extravaganza featuring hundreds of dancers, actors and musicians – both human and animal.
World leaders and innovators in animal training and enrichment techniques for use with captive animal populations are traveling to Bali to trade insights and share cutting edge methodologies for use by zoos, sanctuaries and animal parks.
As another keynote speaker at ATEC 2013 will be Steve Martin of Natural Encounters, Inc - a recognized animal trainer who has worked with Disney's Animal Kingdom, San Diego Wild Animal Park, AZA Animal Training School and the Elephant Management School in Hamburg Germany.
Also on hand will be Valerie Hare of The Shape of Enrichment, Inc. (SHAPE). A recognized guru of animal enrichment and a worldwide ambassador for best practice in animal care, Valerie serves on the board of International Conference on Environmental Enrichment Committee (ICEE) and Bear Care Group Board of Directors.
Those attending ATEC 2013 will also encounter Joe Coe who has designed zoos in more than 40 countries including the Bali Safari Marine Park. Coe will conduct walking tours while sharing his expertise on creating enriching animal exhibits.
Hans Manasang, General Manager of the Bali Safari and Marine Park, says the hosting of ATEC 2013 is a natural outgrowth of the Park's commitment to the tender care of its animal population and educating the community of the need to foster a mutually beneficial coexistence with the animal kingdom. "By gathering experts from around the world at ATEC 2013 we hope to share and obtain ideas and insights that will compliment the Park's commitment to captive breeding and animal husbandry programs," said Manasang.
The Bali Safari and Marine Park is actively involved in conservation efforts of a number of endangered species including Bali's iconic Bali Mynah (Bali Starling), the Sumatran elephant and the Sumatran Tiger
Manasang says the Bali Safari & Marine Park has an unwavering commitment and dedication towards providing the highest standards in animal husbandry and care. Taman Safari has placed an enormous amount of focus in developing the very best animal care facilities and invested heavily into training young animal care professionals whom have the ability to provide the very best care for their animals.
Led by Dr. Purwaningtyas Kusumaningsih, The Bali Safari animal 'enrichment' team are gearing up for ATEC 2013 conference eager to meet with delegates and colleagues from international and Indonesian zoos and animal care facilities to advance in their professional development areas of animal management.

'Tombstone' is Hot 8 Brass Band's third LP. The second instalment in a two-album set, it closely follows sister album 'The Life & Times Of…' (Nov 2012), which gainedfour and five star reviews including The Observer, MOJO, Metro, Songlines andThe Big Issue, and widespread major UK and international radio support.
This new music comes hot on the heels of a three week sold-out tour of the UK and Ireland in March, in which the roof-raisingNew Orleans band treated audiences to the first live performances of hits from 'The Life & Times Of…' such as "Ghost Town", as well as upcoming nuggets from 'Tombstone'. Having always attracted attention for their music and their story (including featuring in Spike Lee's documentary When the Levees Broke and the recent HBO series Treme), on this visit Hot 8's ever-growing appeal led to their most diverse slew of media appearances yet, with sessions forGuardian Music, Cerys Matthews (BBC 6Music), BBC 1Xtra Breakfast, Loose Ends (BBC R4),Monocle 24, BBC World Service; and feature interviews for Craig Charles (BBC 6Music) and The Sunday Times.
'Tombstone' is a counterpoint to the straight-up party side of the band showcased on 'The Life & Times Of…'. Thematically a more sombre, emotional record, it presents another chapter in the history of the Hot 8 Brass Band - a new window onto the lives, the friendships, the heartbreaks, the roots and culture of New Orleans brass music and its players. The majority of the songs are personal dedications, in memory of the four Hot 8 band members, and other musicians and dear friends, who have passed away. And those that aren't dedication songs are new, original Hot 8 jams, party tunes that remind us – and the band - of why the music is worth it all; setting the scene for where the band are at today, while their city and its people still bear the scars of Hurricane Katrina, and where they are carrying the spirit next.
"These two records celebrate the times we have had both before and after the storm. Burying our dead and letting their spirits soar, celebrating our city and the lives that our band mates have lived individually and collectively as Hot 8," explains band leader and tuba player Bennie Pete, of these two complementary releases.
'Tombstone' is an album of stories. "Tombstone Intro" is a prologue to all the tales contained within. As much a hip hop track as a brass one, the Intro spans the many styles and musical inspirations of Hot 8, and tells as many stories, giving way to an uninterrupted run of great songs infused with jazz, blues, funk and a heightening hip hop influence. Sparkling hooks, charged vocals and dynamic rhythms wind out into expressive and playful horn solo breaks. Life, death, tragedy and revelry come together in a bittersweet sonic stew. A symbolic symmetry emerges as the "Tombstone Outro", rocking to the same atmospheric sway as the Intro, closes out he record. The first single, "Milwaukee Fat" (out 6th May), epitomises the album, showcasing one poignant and spirited dedication song for a lost musician and friend, and oneraucous party tune (B-Side "Hot 8 Shit") that updates the age-old tradition of the drinking song along a Big Easy hip hop tip.
In many ways their most deeply personal record, 'Tombstone' is also the first Hot 8 Brass Band album to feature all original compositions. While the roaring success of inspired cover versions - including "Sexual Healing" and "Ghost Town" - may have widened their renown, this innately talented ensemble, ensconced in New Orleans' musical and sociological heritage, have lyrical depth and dexterity, compositional chops and improvisational flair to spare.

I've read some good posts and tutorials on how to create custom user permissions for groups, but have yet to figure out how to manage the task I'm working on. Basically, I'm using Silverstripe to run an intranet site. Anyone attempting to access the site will need to login with LDAP credentials (I have all that working great) but I need a generic user group that is completely unable to access the CMS/Admin area. Ideally attempting to access /admin/ would redirect to the main page or an error page. I assume I need to create a custom permission code and then insert code when the /admin/ area is accessed that will redirect the user somewhere else with a "permission::check('USER')" routine. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble figuring out where to insert that code... Any help is appreciated!
Well, I'm pretty sure I figured it out, so I figured I'd post the answer here for anyone else who is looking for this functionality. Using the info I found on ssbits and after digging a bit, I figured I would just dump a permissions::check('Administrator') into the init() for CMSMain.php. I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow to test it on the live server, but I'm pretty sure it will work :) Here's hoping, eh?
Nope, but I ended up coming up with another way by editting LeftAndMain.php's init to include:
if(Member::CurrentUserID() && !Permission::check('Full Administrative Rights')) Director::redirect('home/');
Which works like a charm.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- In six days, thousands of small businesses across the U.S. that take the American Express ( AXP) card will promote Small Business Saturday -- an initiative meant to rival big-box retailers vying for consumer dollars on Black Friday and Cyber Monday as the holiday season kicks into full gear.This is the second year American Express is running the promotion meant to encourage consumers to shop -- hopefully by using their American Express cards -- in locally owned, non-chain stores. But this year the initiative has seen significant expansion, a foreshadowing of the potential of this growing movement.
|American Express saw a 28% rise in sales volume for Amex-accepting small-business merchants on Small Business Saturday 2010 versus the same day in 2009.

Pretzels are a classic fixture at sporting events, along with "the Wave" and children who would just prefer to be at home. It's food, food, food for the home team with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $50 for a pretzel field trip for 10 (a $100 value)
- $100 for a pretzel field trip for 20 (a $200 value)
Ideal for groups of all ages, from school field trips or scout groups to seniors, the field trip includes a tour through an Auntie Anne's kitchen, a lesson about the history of pretzels and Auntie Anne's, and an opportunity for each participant to roll their own pretzel. Each person also receives an original pretzel, a lemonade, and a goody bag to take home, and each group of 10 receives one bake-at-home kit to share amongst themselves.
Auntie Anne's
In 1988, Auntie Anne's founders Anne and Jonas Beiler purchased a Pennsylvania farmers'-market stand, where they experimented with dough until they created a pretzel that seemed to strike the perfect chord with their customers. Today, at their more than 1,150 locations worldwide, the pretzel makers still hand roll the original recipe but have added to the menu with inventive options, such as the pepperoni pretzel and eight signature dipping sauces. The team constantly explores new uses for the pretzel dough, such as wrapping it around hot dogs, slicing it into bite-size nuggets, or using it to build historically accurate Austrian villages. To transform the snack into a meal, they accompany it with specialty drinks, including frozen-lemonade desserts.
When not twisting dough, Auntie Anne's team partners with the national charitable organization Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, which raises funds to fight childhood cancer. Auntie Anne's also reaches out to the community through fundraising opportunities.

Sean Combs' daughters are soapy and smiling for the camera in an image the man commonly known as P. Diddy recently posted on Twitter. D'Lila Star, Jessie James and Chance — all of whom are currently 5-years-old — are seen here in a photo captioned, "My 3 Princesses."
No, Diddy isn't the father of triplets, as it may appear, the kiddos seen here are twins D'Lila Star and Jessie James, and their half-sister Chance.
In December 2006, Kim Porter gave birth to her and Diddy's daughters. The couple also has 19-year-old son Justin Combs together, and the music mogul has been informally raising her 21-year-old son Quincy for many years.
Diddy questioned if Chance, who was born to Sarah Chapman, was his daughter for over a year after her birth. In October of 2007, he explained, "At first, I wasn't sure of this was my child. Now that it has become clear she is, I will take care of her for the rest of her life."
The six kids recently all got together in honor of their father's 43rd birthday:
A very modern family, indeed!
Looking at the picture of the three 5-year-olds in the tub, I'm realizing I can't recall the last time my two sons bathed together. For many years it was the norm, with the younger one sitting in a tub safety seat and the other splashing freely, but at some point we started putting them in separately for fear wrestling and/or drowning might occur!
At what age did bath time become a solo experience for your little ones?

Re: Search in Documetation center does not work
I've been having a similar problem. But in my case the DC window doesn't close. It freezes for a while, then I get a warning box that a process is taking too long, do I want to cancel or wait, then it unfreezes with the search term still in the search window but the search not done. THEN I can hit return and the search will happen. I do not have this problem in M8.
But I've found a work-around: instead of typing the search term into the DC search box, type it in the notebook, highlight it, and hit F1. This works fine.

SEATTLE — Rick Porcello went nearly three months without a loss. A trio of swings from Nelson Cruz, Mike Zunino and Adam Lind were enough to bring that long winning streak to an end.
Cruz, Zunino and Lind all hit solo home runs, Hisashi Iwakuma threw 7 1/3 shutout innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Boston Red Sox 3-1 on Wednesday night.
Seattle handed Porcello his first loss since May 17, snapping a streak of eight straight wins by the Boston right-hander. Porcello (14-3) had allowed one home run in his previous seven starts before losing on three solo homers in a ballpark known for not yielding the long ball.

C.D. Henry and the Big Ten C.D. Henry Internship
Feb. 1, 2011
Dr. Charles D. Henry joined the Big Ten Conference on June 1, 1974, becoming the first African-American assistant commissioner of any conference office. Until his death in 1982, Henry was a committed man with foresight, who helped usher in the era of women's athletics in the conference, while also dedicated to easing the transition for African-American student-athletes on all Big Ten campuses.
"We were very fortunate to have C.D. Henry on staff, because he had such a wealth of background and a wide range of acquaintances in minority representation throughout the entire country," said former Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke. "He was also enthusiastic and passionate about improving the opportunities of all student-athletes, not only in the Big Ten, but also on the national front as well."
On Dec. 14, 1982, Henry passed away at the age of 59 from a brief illness. After his death, the Big Ten created an internship in his name, which provides training for minorities interested in pursuing a career in intercollegiate athletics. Former University of Minnesota football player Carlos McGee began working for the Big Ten as the first recipient of the C.D. Henry Internship on Dec. 11, 1989.

A management reshuffle at the
CBA is expected to report earnings before interest and tax next Wednesday of $12.86 billion for the year to June 2014, say consensus earnings forecasts from S&P Capital IQ. The annual dividend is expected to rise 10 per cent to $4.01 a share. Net profit is expected to come in at about $8.66 billion on revenue of $22.29 billion.
The profits of CBA and the other three large Australian banks are closely monitored because they form the bedrock of most self-managed super funds and a critical part of the retirement savings managed by big super funds.
But questions are being asked about whether or not the big banks can continue to deliver strong capital gains. High-profile broker
He says he is arguably the only institutional investor in the country with no net exposure to the Australian banks.
Braitling says the banks have passed the sweet spot in the earnings cycle. Pressures are building on profit margins and bad debt charges are at a cyclical low.
He says asset performance can only deteriorate from here as interest rates normalise and financial stress increases with rising unemployment.
"They are amongst the most expensive banks in the world, based on peak-cycle earnings," he says. "The final nail in the coffin for the sell case is capital – if APRA pushes for higher capital requirements which will have to be met either from lower payout ratios or dilutive capital raisings, it is hard to see how the value of these shares could move much higher."
Chanticleer is not so bearish.
Banks are heading into a period of increased lending as the economy shifts from mining, which was self-funding, to the non-mining sectors of the economy.
Also, bad debts are unlikely to spike significantly, even if unemployment rises.
The furore over the financial planning scandal at Commonwealth Bank of Australia will colour any assessment of
His retirement will inevitably be interpreted in some circles as a concession by CBA that someone needed to take the fall for the problems that occurred in the wealth management division more than six years ago.
However, there is no indication from the bank that Petersen was forced out or that the bank wants to distance itself from him.
He will remain on a number of CBA subsidiary boards of directors following his retirement.
Petersen was head of wealth management from 2006 to 2011, which covers the period when wayward financial planner
Systemic problem
It later emerged that ASIC was tipped off about Nguyen's activities in 2008 by people inside CBA.
But ASIC failed to take the whistleblower's claims seriously.
Documents presented to a Senate inquiry show that Nguyen was part of a systemic problem within CBA's wealth management division. But the documents also allege there was a cover-up in the management ranks well below Petersen.
It is difficult to blame Petersen for an aggressive sales culture among financial planners, or for the poorly designed remuneration systems.
Those aggressive targets and sales cultures were part of the DNA of the Colonial First State group when it was bought by CBA in 2000. It remained in place after CBA took over.
On Friday, ASIC and CBA revealed the new conditions attached to CBA's financial services licences. This provides a way for CBA to redress its aggressive push-back against demands for compensation.
It would be unfair to solely blame Petersen for the financial planning problems but his retirement will clear the air. CBA was full of silos that ensured responsibility for problems was diffused.
A fair assessment of Petersen's legacy running wealth management would have to include his restructuring of the insurance business.
Petersen showed his management skills over the past three years as group executive business and private banking. Its revenue and underlying earnings have been growing.
His retirement marks the end of an era at CBA as he is the last senior executive who worked under both David Murray and Ralph Norris.
The other big management move was shifting

Administrative Council
April 5, 2004
428 Library
Present: Paula Kaufman, Chair, Rod Allen, Bob Burger, Tina Chrzastowski, Barbara Ford, Lisa German, Peggy Glatthaar, Betsy Kruger, Tom Kilton, Bill Maher, Diane Schmidt, Karen Schmidt, Sue Searing, Karen Wei, John Weible
Paula has had several comments about the plan. One thing that has struck her from the comments she's received so far is that there doesn't seem to be acceptance of the fact that the finances of this University are not getting better. The attitude towards higher education is not positive; at least not in terms of where they sit in the priority list for funding.
Doug Vinzant from UIUC Planning and Budgeting will be 210 Illini Union on April 23 from 8:30-9:30 to talk to us about the budget. He has already said things won't get much better for at least five years. The perception in Springfield seems to be that faculty don't work very hard and the administration is bloated.
GA benefits are going up which will cost us $21,000 the first year.
Minimum wage is going up January 2005 which will cost us in excess of $85,000.
We also have debt repayment and other things, such as the LOAs salary is compressed and overlapping with the LTAs.
The faculty are compressed within $10,000.
The Implementation Team has put together details of the plan. They will hold a series of discussions based on concerns expressed by the divisions at the next Faculty meeting and separate meetings with untenured faculty and staff. They will be looking at savings in the immediate future and over time.
Tuition increase looks substantial but incoming freshmen will pay the same tuition through their senior year.
Tina Chrzastowski announced that the graduate student survey is completed. The results will be posted in the next couple of weeks. The data will be put in a file on the G://drive. Undergrads will be surveyed in spring '05.
