It's life...You can have an expert do work for you, pay them for it, and usually get it done faster and more proficient. Or you can do it yourself and save money. There is nothing wrong with doing your own work...But don't give guys that do it (to feed their families) grief because they charge for it. The funny thing is you're an engineer...what do you charge for your services? I bet if I DIY'd some local buildings or bridges I could save the town a whole bunch of money! Or is it that your "highly technical and super expensive expert mind" is over charging people for your services? ;)

Fire up your internet connection and get to programming... oh wait, you can't really program them. I say adios. Please keep your word and don't buy another URC product.
Do you really think URC that makes literally tens of millions of remotes a year will miss your diy purchases? Do you really think us successful CI shops will miss your incessant whining and complaining (we wont have to read it since we don't read the harmony forums)? The answer to both is no.
My favorite post here is the guy who told his parents not to go with a CI quote since it has URC remotes in it. LMAO you idiot. You think your parents are going to thank you later for you forcing Pronto or Harmony on them? Ha. And all because you're an expert who has programmed 20 remotes. I love this place.
This place is great.

And have you noticed how the worst offenders don't even have the balls to list where they work? All in all, pretty pathetic.

It's one thing to agree with what URC has done, it's quite another to revel in the fact and continuously rub it in their faces.
But whatever. If you can't see that, then I'm wasting my breath discussing it with you.

This announcement from URC is simply a clarification of policy. I'd like to remind everyone that for years, I have posted here and warned consumers that buying from unauthorized dealers is not a good idea.
Additionally, URC has always advertised our PC programmed products via our Custom Professional division. We make products for Consumers via our Consumer division. Our website and all advertising reflects this. When we speak about easy programming for a custom product, we have always been speaking to custom installers. When we speak about easy programming of a Consumer product, we are speaking to consumers. Easy programming means different things in different markets.
We do not warrantee product that is purchased from unauthorized dealers for a number of very good reasons:
1) The product may be stolen. As evidence, I would point out that we have purchased product every month from Ebay and other unauthorized sellers to trace their source of supply. In a few cases, we were able to trace and cut off their source. However, in too many instances, the seller has REMOVED the serial number!
2) The product may be sourced from a bankrupt custom installer. It may be old. It may be defective. It may be counterfeit. How is a consumer to know? Should consumers have to ask for photos of the serial number before they buy, then email us to ask if this is current, legal stock? No, they should be able to ask the dealer, "Are you an authorized URC dealer?"
3) Unauthorized dealers tell everyone who asks that the software is EASY, ANYONE can do it. SOME of the people who buy from unauthorized dealers ARE NOT prepared for the learning curve. These people obviously are not satisfied with advice on avsforurms, not satisfied with the manuals, and they call our custom profession technical support lines asking for step by step instructions over the phone. ALL TO PROGRAM ONE REMOTE. On the other hand, a custom professional , who programs fifty or more remotes a year and has a real issue (he can't get paid until the job is finished) can't get his question answered until technical support finishes with the consumer.
Yet the numbers of remotes sold through these unauthorized dealers are a tiny fraction of our custom professional business. An authorized dealer honestly explains whats involved and gladly offers the software to a consumer who is, as most of the poster here are, extremely intelligent professional people who wish to do it themselves.
We at URC want to make one point perfectly clear. We do not disrespect the DIYers here at remote central. We intend to continue to support this wonderful web site and a great group of enthusiasts.
An AUTHORIZED dealer is the right way to get honest answers and good advice. We give over 300 all day trainings a year to train our dealers on how to exploit the flexibility and customization capabilities of our software. They can advise you on how to unleash the software for your system.
For those of you with remotes that were purchased from an authorized dealer,
Fax me a copy at:
We will arrange for another authorized dealer to support you.
I'd like to hear your stories. Do your remotes have serial numbers? Who did you purchase them from? Do you have a copy of the original purchase receipt?
Please email or fax me at the above numbers. We do care about anyone who purchases our products or who has purchased our products. We simply want to ensure that every customer gets good advice and is well protected by a FACTORY warranty, not a shallow promise from a fly by night con man/woman on the internet!!!
Best Regards,

Trust me when I say programming a actual control system is a lot more complex then a simple remote; no offense.

My point was that people on this fourm tend to like things like DIY type solutions as opposed to professional ones. The attitude tends to be that if they cannot do it themselves, then there must be some sort of corporate conspiracy going on. People on here like to say things like "this XYZ system can do anything AMX/Crestron can!". I find these posts very humerous.

Originally Posted by McNasty

In the case of URC remotes, the CI companies were upset because any Joe could go on eBay or other on-line stores and buy a brand new remote for cheaper than the CI company could them for through their distributer. What this led to was smaller companies trying to sell the remotes, and the client saying "You're ripping me off...I can get the same remote from eBay for $100 less" Most reasonable clients would still buy it when they realized that the price not only included the remote, but we would come anytime they called to fix issues or update the devices when they got new equipment. Anyhow, this ended up causing many CI companies to wonder if they should go with another brand. I'm sure that when URC heard this they decided to do what they did. In My opinion, I believe the bulk sales of URC remotes are to the CI industry, and they did what they thought was best for their company. I think they could have handled it much differently, but I had nothing to do with how they handled the situation...neither did any of the other CI's you guys think are out to screw you.
DIY people are not lost sales to a CI firm. Most of the profit that a CI firm makes comes from labor. If the client is a DIY person then we would make no money, and obviously not take the job.

I spoke at length with Magnolia/Best Buy and they seem quite confused as to how to help me get the software version that allows live updates again, as you alluded to in your last post and as my product originally promised. It seems that your new policy has not been communicated well with your authorized dealer base.
I am all for protecting one's business and customers from unauthorized dealers; I have dealt with grey market items and have decided they are certainly not worth the hassle. When I make any major purchase, I always ensure that the dealer is factory-authorized. A big reason I do that is knowing that the manufacturer will support me. However, I question your execution. It seems that you have charged your customer with the awkward task of seeking valid URC software from a third party. This I assure you is not a simple thing; my "authorized dealer" has no idea of your policy change and after several phone calls I have gotten nowhere. I am even a bit embarassed for URC in that I have to explain to your dealer about your new policy.
Why can't you go the extra step and allow those who have validated their products on your web site to download the live update-enabled software directly from URC? It seems that as allegient and responsible "authorized" customers we should at least be entitled to direct support from URC to help us through your new policy transition. If your concerns about authorized purchases have any altruistic intent for your customers - as your post clearly implies - then having us do this legwork for you belies that fact.
Really, Eric, it seems that although the intent of the policy was smart (and I do in fact support it), the execution of that policy makes me feel more like an unauthorized user and an outlaw of sorts. It's an ironic and perhaps unintended result of how you are implementing this change, and I would think you would find that - at least from a business aspect - very disturbing.

BTW - I can't find the serial number authorization link on your web site.

Kicking off 'Quantum of Solace' from the box office reign, 'Twilight' easily won the weekend with a blockbuster debut, landing itself on the fourth biggest opening of 2008.
Proven to be one of the much awaited movies in 2008, "Twilight" has taken a giant bite out of the North American box office. Screened in about 3,419 theaters across the U.S. over the three-day weekend, the romantic vampire drama sells $69.6 million, dethroning James Bond's 22nd movie "Quantum of Solace" and besting over Miley Cyrus-voicing animation "Bolt".
Drawing in a huge number of teenage girls, the Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel adaptation has made an impressive $20,636 per theater, according to Sunday morning estimates. With the huge opening bow, this Catherine Hardwicke's film has etched a new record as biggest opening ever for a female director, overshadowing the $41.1 million previous record set by Mimi Leder's "Deep Impact" in 1998.
"Twilight" has also become the biggest debut for Summit Entertainment, whose previous best was when "Never Back Down" collected $8.6 million in March. On the overall scale, the Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson-starring movie has landed on the fourth slot for 2008 biggest premiere, better than "Quantum", "Wall-E" and "Hancock" to name a few.
The movie about the 'breaking barriers' romance between human and vampire has also become among the best first-weekend bow of all time, behind the $70.9 million opening of "300" and the $70.5 million debut of "Transformers". What makes it even better of the top highest opening movies of all time, it is one of the films made with a budget of under $100 million, beside "The Passion of the Christ".
Putting "Twilight" aside, "Quantum" has fallen to the second place at the chart. With a 60.4% drop in sales, the Daniel Craig-starring Bond movie hauls in $26.7 million, less than half of its North American opening. Hot on the Marc Forster-directed action movie's heel is "Bolt". The Walt Disney Pictures animation that features John Travolta as the voice actor for the titular character collects $26.2 million over the weekend.
Rounding up the top five are "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" and "Role Models" in respective orders. While the sequel to comedy animation "Madagascar" has brought in another $ 15.7 million to the total of $137.1 million, the David Wain-directed "Role Models" rakes in $7.3 million. Additionally, Miramax Films' "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" has shot out eleven spots to the eight position with $1.6 million.
Top Ten Movies at Weekend Box Office for November 21-23, 2008:
- "Twilight" - $69.6 million
- "Quantum of Solace" - $26.7 million
- "Bolt" - $26.2 million
- "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" - $15.7 million
- "Role Models" - $7.3 million
- "Changeling" - $2.7 million
- "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" - $2 million
- "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" - $1.64 million
- "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" - $1.61 million
- "The Secret Life of Bees" - $1.3 million

Review/City Ballet; Balanchine on the Menu: Dances, Friends and Food, Food, Food
By ANNA KISSELGOFF
Published: June 29, 1993
"This is our Woodstock," a happy fan said in the midst of "Dinner With Balanchine" a six-and-a-half-hour gathering that concluded the New York City Ballet's two-month Balanchine Celebration with thematically linked meals and performances on Sunday.
As the final blowout, it couldn't have been bettered. George Balanchine's ballets were on the table, as always. But so were literally hundreds of box dinners that spectators nibbled on as part of the event at the New York State Theater.
The City Ballet, in its highly energized exuberance, plunged into a mini-retrospective of disparate excerpts from Balanchine's works with absolutely no sign of battle fatigue. (The 1981 "Garland Dance" was the last entry on Saturday afternoon.) There was also a poignant moment when Stephanie Saland, a principal whose performances have been colored by beauty and feminine grace, took a solo bow. It was her farewell to the company, unannounced but obviously known to the many who gave her a standing ovation.
The surprise was how well a group of guest stars, from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Seattle, fitted into the mix-and-match casting. The program will always be remembered for the astonishingly sensuous performance that Darcey Bussell, the golden girl of the Royal Ballet, drew out of the familiar pas de deux in "Agon," clearly inspiring her City Ballet partner, Lindsay Fischer, to dance with newly charged intensity. There is nothing like sex appeal to set an audience roaring.
Balanchine, one had always heard, was too athletic for British-trained dancers in the Royal, who supposedly move with well-bred reserve. Well, Viviana Durante -- also from the Royal, and cast as the love interest to Robert La Fosse in the first duet of Balanchine's Gershwin ballet "Who Cares?" -- was all minx and seduction, never missing a step in the process.
That there are many ways to dance Balanchine has always been true, but not always recognized. In devising this program, Peter Martins, the City Ballet artistic director, filled out the spectrum with flair and brilliance. Toward the end of the event (it started at 4:15 P.M. and ended at 10:40 P.M.), the audience was virtually rolling in the aisles at film clips of the witty choreography Balanchine created for Hollywood musicals in the late 1930's and 40's.
It was an upbeat evening, with so many of Balanchine's famous unison finales that one might think these were his specialty. The films, for instance, were followed by the sure-fire Sousa parade with which Balanchine ends his "Stars and Stripes." Riding the crest of overall euphoria, Mr. Martins grabbed the well-planned moment to step onstage and thank the company's staff and volunteers for their work in the Balanchine Celebration. It could not have occurred, he said, "without Balanchine's spiritual guidance." But if the event had taken place, it was "ultimately because of him," he said urging Lincoln Kirstein, the company's co-founder out of the wings.
Mr. Kirstein embraced Mr. Martins and as the company gathered around, beckoned to Jerome Robbins. Mikhail Baryshnikov, who was a company member in 1978-79, suddenly marched in as a waiter, with a napkin over his arm. The three men took their vodka glasses off his tray; Mr. Martins invited the audience and dancers to toast Balanchine, not "the dignified way but the Balanchine way," or bottoms up. Mr. Kirstein kissed Mr. Robbins on the forehead as the orchestra played the finale from Stravinsky's "Firebird."
The performance had started with the piece Stravinsky wrote for the opening of the State Theater, "Fanfare for a New Theater," played onstage by two trumpeters, Robert Haley and Ronald Anderson. The four conductors for the evening were Hugo Fiorato, Gordon Boelzner, Maurice Kaplow and Donald York. Mark Stanley was responsible, as always, for the unobtrusive but sharply focused lighting.
Through an artificial but effective format, each program segment referred to a period in Balanchine's career. Russian music introduced the Stravinsky "Scherzo a la Russe," an epigrammatic curtain raiser led by Helene Alexopoulos and Diana White. Stravinsky's "Apollo" was represented by Nilas Martins in the title role, performing the pas de deux with Isabel Guerin, an especially supple Terpsichore from the Paris Opera Ballet. Her solo contrasted with that of the sweet and muted Zhanna Ayupova from the Kirov Ballet and the elegantly dynamic Patricia Barker from the Pacific Northwest Ballet.
Darci Kistler and Igor Zelensky offered the pas de deux from Tchaikovsky's "Theme and Variations," leading its finale before the European segment introduced the rip-roaring Royal Navy section from "Union Jack" and the male solo to Corelli's music in "Square Dance." Manuel Legris from the Paris Opera danced here with nobility and passionate physical power.
Another duet and finale came in "Walpurgisnacht Ballet," led brilliantly by Nichol Hlinka, Kyra Nichols and Ben Huys. A set change made for an orchestral interlude before Miss Saland, arching back in Adam Luders's arms, introduced the Opera Ball in the Richard Strauss segment of "Vienna Waltzes."
Ballets with what the program called "an American flavor" began with Nikolaj Hubbe, acting up as a hilarious cowboy to an uninhibited dancehall girl, Susan Jaffe of American Ballet Theater. The indefatigable and stunning corps spun like mad to the superb score that Hershy Kay, as in so many other excerpts, had fashioned out of popular material.
It wasn't only Miss Bussell's phenomenal extension in the Stravinsky "Agon" that caught the eye, but also the utter daring of her expansive movement. She was well matched by other soloists: Peter Boal and Wendy Whelan, less dramatic but no less clear.
"Who Cares?" expanded its cast to include the guests. Ronald Perry of Dance Theater of Harlem enthusiastically partnered Melinda Roy; Jeremy Collins of Ballet Theater was a hippie hoofer. Elizabeth Loscavio of the San Francisco Ballet dazzled as never before in the difficult "My One and Only" solo. Judith Fugate did the same among the other regulars, Lourdes Lopez, Heather Watts and Jock Soto.
In all, a fitting program to top a singular event.

Microsoft Buys Skype for $8.5 Billion
Microsoft is set to shell out big bucks - a whopping $8.5 billion - to buy Skype Global, the NY Times is reporting.
According to the report, the deal will allow Microsoft to leverage Skype, which last year had 207 billion minutes of voice and video conversations, on platforms including Xbox 360, Kinect and Outlook.
"Skype is a phenomenal service that is loved by millions of people around the world. Together we will create the future of real-time communications so people can easily stay connected to family, friends, clients and colleagues anywhere in the world," Steven A. Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive, said Tuesday in a statement.
Bristol Palin Lands Reality TV Show
And now for the most convoluted-sounding show ever: EW.com is reporting that Bristol Palin will star in a reality series for Bio, in which she and her son, Tripp, will move from Alaska to Los Angeles to live with actors Chris and Kyle Massey. Oh, and she'll also work for a charity.
According to the report, Bio has ordered 10 half-hour episodes of the series, with a launch date set for later this year.
Palin and Kyle Massey met while they competed during the eleventh season of 'Dancing With the Stars,' in which they finished in third and second place, respectively.
Commodore 64 Making a Comeback
The Commodore 64, the classic personal computer from the eight-bit '80s, is making a comeback. Sort of.

Alligator Vandalizes Florida Cop Car
Law enforcement officials are trained to deal with most scenarios. But an alligator attacking a police car? That's a different story.
According to reports, a rascally 10-foot alligator took a bite out of an Alachua County sheriff deputy's vehicle in Florida. The creature was reportedly spotted attacking the patrol car near a country club in Gainesville. The deputy watched the carnage as he waited for an alligator trapper to show up. Naturally, the car's front bumper was heavily damaged.
Young People Don't Know Who The Beatles Are [VIDEO]
And now for something that will make you feel really old: The blog, I Hate Young People, recently took to the streets to quiz our nation's youngsters on their knowledge of The Beatles. The results: Well, let's just say they could use a little 'Help!'.
Not only had they never heard of the "Fab Four," most couldn't even name one member of the band, let alone one of its songs. In fact, one interviewee mistook John Lennon for John Legend.
Check out the horrifying video after the jump; and for all you youngsters out there reading this, here is a list of every single Beatles song ever released, you know, just in case.
Cuban Strives to Beat World Record With 268-Foot Cigar
Last month, Cuban native Jose Castelar set out to break his own record for the world's largest cigar.
Castelar began the project at the end of April and, with the help of assistants, finished the super-cigar on Tuesday.
Cops Find Robber Via Cash Trail
The scene was straight out of a classic Saturday-morning cartoon: After a robber took an undisclosed amount of money from a local CVS, he made a mad dash to a nearby laundromat.
As he ran, the pile of cash in his arms left a trail behind him, making it an easy catch for police officers.

Osama bin Laden Rises From the Dead, Starts Tweeting
Twitter has seen some zany faux-accounts lately, including a NY Bronx Zoo snake escapee, Adolf Hitler and some random guy's liver.
So when Osama Bin Laden rose from the dead and began tweeting via numerous accounts on Sunday night, it was only a little strange.
Mostly, though, it was funny.
Bin Laden Paid Neighborhood Kids for Soccer Balls Lost Into His Compound [VIDEO]
As we try to unwrap the mystery of how the world's most wanted man was able to hide in an affluent Pakistani suburb - in a house located only 1,000 yards away from Pakistan's equivalent of West Point Military Academy, no less - the folks at NBC have offered up a bizarre detail of Osama bin Laden's domestic life.
Acording to reporter Tazeen Ahmed, when neighborhood kids would mistakenly kick soccer balls over the walls of bin Laden's compound, they would not be returned. Instead, someone would appear at the gate and offer the children money to buy a new soccer ball.

Adidas India could become the German sportwear maker's third largest subsidiary in Asia after China and Japan, said Andreas Gellner, the newly appointed managing director of Adidas India.
"The business environment here is certainly very positive. If everything goes well, India could be our number three market in Asia, and that is my mandate," Gellner said.
He added that Adidas is seriously considering of increasing its apparel sourcing from India. The company is also evaluating the idea of launching a low-cost range targeted at the Indian market. "I haven't made up my mind on it but I'm told there is a big market for such products," he said.
Adidas recently had a change of guard after Tarun Kunzru stepped as the managing director. In his previous assignment with Adidas, Gellner was the MD of the company's Malaysian subsidiary.
According to Gellner, his top priority will be to restructure the Indian operations to take on the competitors.
"Although we posted double digit growth in India for the past two years, not everyone in the company was aligned to the same goal. I will try to make it a more lean and mean organisation that can be proactive in a fast growing market," he said.
The Indian subsidiary has been separated from Adidas' south east Asia business cluster and will now report directly to the regional headquarters in Hong Kong.
"The Indian market is very different from south east Asia. We will now get a lot more direct attention and greater budget priority," he said.
In the next two years Adidas plans to add nearly 60 more exclusive showrooms to its 75 existing ones in the country's top 10 cities. The company is also planning to triple its advertising spends in the next two years.
"We have two of the most popular cricketers, Tendulkar and Sehwag, and a whole host of international icons such as David Beckham as our brand ambassadors. We need to capitalise on that and increase our visibility," said Gellner.
"Opportunities such as being the official kit sponsor of the Indian cricket team are very exciting and we will be exploring them," the new managing director added.

I know, I WAS going to report you to Winicki for sexual harrassment...but he's still up to his ears in the hazing rituals.
Good!!!! I'm glad MW is being kept busy..................
Agreed...it keep the place less chaotic...right now he's scrubbing toilets in the back...
Troy Brown
Career Transactions
Troy Brown was selected by the Patriots in the eighth round of the 1993 NFL draft (198th overall)
Placed on injured reserve (quadriceps) on Dec. 31, 1993
Waived (08/28/94)
Re-signed (10/19/94)
Re-signed as a restricted free agent (02/02/96)
Re-signed as an unrestricted free agent (03/10/97)
Became an unrestricted free agent (02/11/00)
Re-signed to a five-year contract (02/28/00)
I don't want to know who we took ahead of this guy. I know somebody will look it up. But I still don't want to know. Probably another damn special teams player. Drafted in the 8th round, you know that means he wouldn't have even been drafted now?
OK that was wrong.
But I liked it!
TD called back.
And New England leads by 3.
talk about dodging a bullet on 4th and goal for the Colts...
3-0....what a shootout...I can't even keep up with all this scoring
Wow. Peyton looks confused.
sigh.....anytime you want to make a play, Peyton...
Dillon or Eddie George?
Nice job Bill.
These FG's instead of TD's could come back to haunt the Pats..
At least the Colts D is playing reasonably well. One quick strike to Stokley, Harrison, or whoever and its a new game. Come on Manning......
Over/Under was 52 for this game. I love it. Plus, I think Pitt would beat Indy. So I want to see NE win. NE is good for the NFL.
So is me winning ;-).
This is greatness.
Wow, nice "int" by Bruschi.
Man same old colts they just quit when they play NE the offense is shot
They are calling that a fumble. I would have challenged it myself.
I always thought joint possession went to the offense.
It is - but it didn't look like joint possession. Screwy play.

Athletic scholarships are a fantastic way to pay for college, but just being good at sports in high school isn't enough to qualify for them. Finding the scholarships and applying for them is the first hurdle. For many scholarships, there is a rigorous application process, and each scholarship is highly competitive, with many applicants using professional services to help them write great applications and emphasize their potential value as a collegiate athlete. Knowing the admissions requirements of each of their top schools is also an important piece of the puzzle for student athletes.
On top of that, many schools that offer substantial athletic scholarships also have intense recruiting processes for their prized sports teams. Any student athlete who is serious about paying for college with athletic scholarships should find out the details of every school and scholarship they want to apply for. Getting the help of a professional recruiting consultant isn't a bad idea either, especially for student athletes applying to highly competitive schools or scholarships. These websites offer information on some of the best options out there for student athletes looking to go the extra mile to get admitted to top schools and score great scholarships.
This list isn't a ranking, but a diverse sample of the best sites and organizations offering scholarships, application assistance, recruiting consultation, and even private coaching for student athletes.

We had an amazing time working with the film crew and the Poore family during our two episodes of Fix It and Finish It. The day started out early with meeting Antonio, and getting to know the crew and their roles. The day was filled with fun, laughter, hard work and amazing people. The best portion of the day was the reveal to the family. We could hear their responses from outside, and it was very gratifying! We enjoyed the opportunity to get this project completed it one day and make it such a great success!


text: That said, somebody will see value. Buyers will vie for at least parts of the business, if not the whole thing. It's more sensible for News Corp to continue empire building by collecting regional sports networks, eventually assuming full control of YES (Yankees Entertainment and Sports) and taking Madison Square Garden ( MSG) out. News Corp, Disney, Time Warner ( TWX) and Comcast ( CMCSA). They're the players. They call the shots. If regulators allow it, expect a merger between two of the four. Either way, they'll absorb smaller players, entire sports franchises, venues, sports broadcast rights, you name it. And, as they continue to build out to massive scale, you win. Cable already has you by the short hairs. Despite Reed Hastings' nocturnal fantasies, Netflix ( NFLX) isn't changing that game. Intel sure as hell won't. And I don't suspect Apple ( AAPL) wants to. The old guard will change the game when it's ready. It will wean itself off of things like affiliate fees and sweet and easy third-party digital licensing deals (also known as "fleecing Netflix") when it's good and ready. The old guard will merge and partner and partner and merge to deliver the content people need to see live live and everything else on-demand via multiple platforms. It will look a lot like Hulu. In fact, it might even end up being Hulu. We'll see. However it shakes out, when the dust settles, we'll have an exciting living room, dominated by a handful of hardware makers (Apple, Samsung, maybe Sony ( SNE)), purveyors of awesome user experiences (Apple, Microsoft ( MSFT) via Xbox) and the big old guard media names. Things will change profoundly, for the better, while, in many ways, staying the same. Follow @rocco_thestreet --Written by Rocco Pendola in Santa Monica, Calif.

This article presents a review of the recent history of information and communication technologies in education through a retrospective of the paths traveled in countries whose actions have had strong influence on the Brazilian trajectory, with special emphasis on the United States, France and Portugal. The subject is next addressed in the context of the Brazilian reality, characterized by the current proposal to introduce small, portable, low cost equipment (educational laptops) in schools. Finally, the major convergences that stand out in the history of technology in education in these countries is highlighted. It is concluded that, despite the quantitative disparity between these countries with respect to the availability of resources, the implementation of actions has not achieved the objectives, goals, desires and utopias, and many challenges remain to be overcome, particularly with regard to the training of educators for the effective integration of ICT in schools and the curriculum.

MONTVILLE - He would duck out of school instead of going to wrestling practice and it became a game when then first-year coach John King would assign one of his assistant coaches to nab him before he left the school building.
"I'm not sure what my problem was," Cvitan says today. "I would just skip out and run away from the coaches … it was just a dumb little freshman thing, I guess.
"I wasn't really into wrestling … my parents didn't want me to do it and the only reason I went out for the team was because of my friends."
Now, before one starts to believe that King was less the disciplinarian because he didn't kick Cvitan off the team, King explains that he "… had only eight wrestlers out for the team so I had to cut him a little more slack than usual.
"Besides, I don't like getting rid of freshman," King adds. "But it was close with Chris … it seems I was on the phone with him two, three nights a week asking him where he was that day for practice."
In the summer between his freshman and sophomore years, Cvitan recalls that he "…woke up," and came to school that September with a new attitude.'
"I don't know what it was, but I was a totally different person and never even thought about cutting practice," Cvitan says. "I guess maybe I just grew up a little over the summer."
Glad For The 'Slack'
Today, both Cvitan and King are glad that enough "slack was cut" and Cvitan didn't get bounced from the team.
The wrestling program is now flourishing to the point that this season's team qualified for this week's state sectionals for the first time.
"It was one of our team goals at the beginning of the season," Cvitan says. "We wanted to turn it around this year as a team.
"We found out there were two teams in the '70s that won conference titles with records like 10 or 11-0. But in the past 20 years, there have been maybe only two teams with records better than .500.
Last week, the Mustangs won two of three matches to take a 9-7-1 record into this week's Sec. 2, Gr. 2 first-round match against Caldwell.
The match that Montville lost last week was a 33-27 decision to the same Caldwell team, a match that Cvitan missed because he was out of school a couple days with a touch of the flu.
"I was at the match and I had my doctor's permission to wrestle," Cvitan says. "But I couldn't compete because I wasn't in school that day."
Take away the six points Caldwell were awarded for a forfeit victory at 215 - Cvitan's weight class - and you have a tie match. Add the points that Montville would have won if Cvitan had wrestled and you get a Montville victory.
"Yeah, I know … when coach was checking out the scorebook after the match he just gave me this funny look," Cvitan says. "I almost got sick again."
Before the suggestion is made that perhaps the Montville people were too hasty in feeling that Cvitan would have won his match, it must be remembered that Cvitan is unbeaten this year in 24 matches, 14 of them pins and another handful of forfeit victories.
Back At Full Strength
But Cvitan is back at full strength now and, as of the weekend, was ready to go against Caldwell in the match scheduled for this past Tuesday.
The Montville-Caldwell winner gets top-seeded Pequannock this Thursday.
Although the team sectionals are Cvitan's focal point now, his personal goals are never too far out of his mind.
King tells the story of Cvitan's junior year when he set lofty goals for himself and, despite King warning him that he shouldn't be disappointed if he didn't make them because they seemed too unrealistic, Cvitan came very close to accomplishing all he set out to do.
So when Cvitan announced at the beginning of the season he wanted to finish 38-0 and be first in every tournament he entered, King said nothing.
"After last season, I'll never question him again," King says.
Armed with his 24-0 record and three tournament titles to date - the last one the 215 championship at the Morris County Wrestling Tournament - Cvitan says he is comfortable with where he is right now both physically and mentally.
He has turned up his conditioning a notch by doing more running and lifting on his own before and after practice.
He also thinks back to the last match of last season, a loss in the first round of the states.
"I lost to the kid who finished third in the states and, looking back, I think maybe I should have beaten him," Cvitan explains. "That thought has given me a little more drive, a little more motivation this year."
Cvitan says wrestling for the team and wrestling for himself call for two different strategies.
"I usually go out and wrestle to get my points and then, when I do, look to pin if the team needs the points," Cvitan explains. "That adds a little pressure to the match.
"In the districts and beyond, you have to win by only one point - it's a different type of wrestling."
The results, however, have been the same for Chris Cvitan so far this season.
Another victory.

Big Bang Theory, The: The Complete Seventh Season (Blu-ray+DVD+UltraViolet)
Socially challenged they remain, but the scientific geniuses of The Big Bang Theory always deliver hilarious results. Leonard returns from his North Sea expedition to find that his relationship with Penny involves more beta-testing than he's ever done in a lab. Howard's attachment issues with the women in his life in particular and Raj's social breakthrough with women in general provide more laughs. Bernadette and Amy stand staunchly by the men in their life, even when they're sitting in marathon role-playing games. Sheldon sees his mom (Laurie Metcalf) in a totally different way, parties with James Earl Jones, establishes a (sort of) bond with his idol Professor Proton (Emmy® winner Bob Newhart) and makes a scientific breakthrough that breaks down before you can say Science Friday. Experience your own humor breakthrough with this 3-disc, 24-episode Season Seven set of TV's most popular comedy.]]>

This season picks up exactly where the last one left off. Leonard (Johnny Galecki) is on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on a research trip. Back at home, the gang must learn to deal with his absence, especially his roommate Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and his girlfriend Penny (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting). However, when he comes back, his desire to spend some time with Penny over Sheldon shows the beginnings of the first changes in the group, a theme that actually echoed through the season.
What do I mean? Well, following up on the sixth season finale, Raj (Kunal Nayyar) is now able to talk to girls even when he's sober. What didn't change there is that he still isn't a lady's man, although it does open up a few new relationship possibilities for him. Speaking of relationships, Sheldon and Amy (Mayim Bialk) wind up taking what for them is a huge step forward in their relationship on a romantic train ride up to the Napa Valley. Penny makes a huge change to forward her career as an actress and finds herself in a less than desirable roll opposite a surprising co-star. I would argue that the only main characters not to have major changes this season are Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch), but since they adjusted to married life last season, maybe that's for the best. They still get some great stories, like Howard's drastic change after trying to help out his mother and how they deal with having Raj has a house guest for a week. They also have to deal with Howard's mother (voiced by Carol Ann Susi) when she breaks her leg.
Now I know some argue that the addition of Amy and Bernadette have actually harmed the show. I will certainly agree it has changed the show (there's that word again). Penny spends more time with them than she does the guys, and Penny's dynamic with the guys was always fun. However, the show is just as funny as it always has been. How do I know? I regularly watch reruns any time I find it on TV, and I laugh at the old episodes just as much as I do these new ones. Heck, how can you not have fun with a city wide scavenger hunt or an old fashioned murder mystery game (both compliments of Raj)? Or Howard wearing an itchy sweater to prove a point to Sheldon.
And the geekiness continues. Stuart (Kevin Sussman) and his comic book store regularly appear in the series. When the guys don't get into Comic Con, Sheldon decides to start his own, leading to a day with James Earl Jones. Speaking of which, the show finally celebrates Star Wars day in what is a touching and funny episode featuring the third appearance of comedy legend Bob Newhart.
My big complaint with the show continues – it often goes of the sex joke. It can be just as funny with clean jokes when it wants to be.
But make no mistake about it, this show is hilarious. They definitely still use the awkwardness of the characters for humor, but it is a loving kind of humor that is never too mean. It does not matter how many times I've seen an episode, I still laugh the entire way through it. And yes, I will watch these reruns just as much as I will watch reruns from previous seasons.
As always, Jim Parsons gets the majority of the praise and awards for his work here, and it is well deserved. Sheldon is the most awkward of the characters, and I'm sure he isn't easy to play, but he gets so many of the best laughs. However, the entire cast shines as they bring their characters to life each week. It is a shame that the rest don't get the praise they deserve.
As with the last couple of seasons, this season is being released in a DVD set and a combo Blu-Ray/DVD/UltraViolet combo pack for just $10 more. That's the set I'd recommend. In addition to the 24 half hour episodes, the set has several bonus features including one on James Earl Jones's guest spot, highlights from the 2013 ComicCon panel, Johnny Galecki crashing a writer's panel, and of course a gag reel.
For pure laughs, there is no better comedy than The Big Bang Theory. If you are new to the show, you'll be glad you discovered why it is so popular. Season seven is just as funny and as much fun as what has come before, so sit back and get ready to laugh.
The celebrity cameos/guest appearances this season are Bob Newhart reprising his role as Professor Proton (in a hilarious Star Wars themed episode), James Earl Jones, Carrie Fisher, Bill Nye and of course Wil Wheton. Almost all the characters end up in very different places by the end of the season than where they were at the beginning. Howard and Bernadette are the exceptions having settled into a fairly stable married life. Toward the end of the season the comic book store owner Stuart begins to take a larger role in the series.
As far as extras go for those who get the blu rays (or DVDs), there is a lot of behind the scenes material, a comic-con panel with the writers, a making of the Star Wars day episode and a gag reel. All in all probably around an hour's worth of bonus material. Definitely enough to make those who like going through that stuff happy.
Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur....
On the DVD, the Blue Ray picture is noticeably better than the regular DVD. I also enjoyed the gag reel that comes on the disk.
I never did get around to calling Amazon; however I recently check it out again and apparently the problem has been resolved. As promised, I have updated my rating to five stars.

Right now on Korean television, the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) is airing Uncontrollably Fond, a romantic drama starring Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy, who is better known simply by her first name, Suzy.
After the success of Descendants of the Sun, KBS hoped they could make Uncontrollably Fond just as popular, if not more popular. After the first episode, it looked like Uncontrollably Fond was well on its way to becoming the noteworthy successor of Descendants of the Sun.
Prior to the release of Uncontrollably Fond, Master: God of Noodles tried and failed as a follow up to Descendants of the Sun. Proving that duplicating success can be difficult, the second episode of Uncontrollably Fond showed a decrease in viewership. The downward trend continued after the third and fourth episodes of Uncontrollably Fond aired, but KBS still had high hopes simply because it captured Chinese audiences.
After six episodes, Uncontrollably Fond is on the brink of single-digit viewership in South Korea, and many Korean netizens are blaming Suzy's poor acting for the K-drama's current decline.
Before detailing why Suzy's poor acting is considered the reason Uncontrollably Fond (also known as Lightly, Ardently) is failing, it should be noted that criticizing her acting has nothing to do with criticizing her as a person. Apparently, Suzy is recognized as having a very good reputation. In one example of her charity, she donated $8,770 to Dream On Social Welfare Society to help poor and needy children. However, Suzy's easy demeanor and humanitarian heart do not make her a great actress.
The negative criticism of Suzy's acting comes primarily from the group of people who matter the most when it comes to K-dramas, and they are the K-drama fans. It is the fans who contribute to the viewership ratings, and it is the fans who often make or break K-dramas.
Star power, at times, means nothing if they show disdain. The Time We Were Not In Love is a prime example of a K-drama, which had strong star power in Ha Ji Won and Lee Jin Wook, but the K-drama viewers criticized it, and this resulted in poor viewership. Once again, the K-drama fans have spoken, and many of their negative reviews for Uncontrollably Fond point squarely at Suzy and her poor acting; an issue she has had since her very first acting gig in Dream High.
Reviewer One: "Suzy's acting… it's hopeless."
Reviewer Two: "Suzy, stop 'uncontrollably' acting… just stick to pictorials."
Reviewer Three: "Are part time staff at work today? The plot was moving at a boring pace today and the leads were still bad at acting. I think the only reason the articles aren't getting hate anymore is because people stopped watching after yesterday."
The constant flow of criticism about Suzy's acting will surely be a problem for Uncontrollably Fond, especially against rival K-dramas Doctors (also known as Doctor Crush) and W(also known as W – Two Worlds). For starters, both feature a very-popular cast in which the actors are well-known for excellent acting. Doctors has Park Shin Hye and W has Lee Jong Suk.
W just started, so it cannot be compared against Uncontrollably Fond just yet, but Doctors already aired ten episodes, and its ratings are high, as reported by The Bit Bag. Since the fifth episode, viewership ratings have been around 21 percent average for the Seoul National Capital Area and 18 percent for the nation. If W proves to be another K-drama that dominates in viewership, Uncontrollably Fond might become irrelevant unless Suzy steps up in her acting.
Uncontrollably Fond airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9:55 p.m. KST on KBS. It will air simultaneously in China, North America, and South America, too. For those in China, it will stream on Youku Tudou. For North and South America, it will air one hour after the Korean airtime, free with ads on DramaFever, but it is also available on Viki, depending on the region.

Respected industry scientist Doug Schoon is acknowledging important industry innovations with an annual award. The first recipient — earning the title Most Innovative Idea for 2014 — is Famous Names IBX System.
Says Schoon: "Without a doubt, the most scientifically advanced products in the beauty industry are artificial nail coatings. Famous Names takes this high technology inside the nail plate to toughen and protect it from within. These products absorb into the upper layers of the nail plate and then join together to create a super tough protective shield for nails." The system benefits nail techs by protecting clients' nails from harsh treatment both in the salon and at home. "The IBX system protects the nail plate from whatever abuse comes its way and can even correct existing damage. The system also improves adhesion of nail coatings, including polish," says Schoon.
The first runner-up title went to Aerovex Systems for its Chemical Source Capture Systems. "Their equipment consists of well-designed ventilation systems that make the performance of any salon service much safer, including artificial nails, keratin hair smoothing treatments, laser hair removal treatments, and any other salon service that generates vapors or dusts," says Schoon. "Aerovex Systems promotes total salon air quality solutions through their Three Zone Protection salon ventilation approach, which helps to ensure high-quality air throughout the salon, not just one station or chair."

I have some awesome ideas for new rules in chat. A lot of people have noticed we have a moderator by the name of SaberSworn, he has his chill moments but he can be a major pain in the ass sometimes and he really is a very strict guy when it comes to the rules.
One of his biggest flaws is that almost every word to him is a curse word, because wikipedia tells him. Thing is, every weirdo can add stuff on wikipedia, it's often full of bullshit. Hell, he could even be adding all those "bad words" himself, right? "According to SaberSworn, the word bloody is bloody UNACCEPTABLE!!??!?". See? He could, like, add that one wikipedia and then it would be a fact. Or something.
Whatever. I suggest we change the rules a bit. We only ban words from the chat that are normally censored on television. Not the once that can be said out load without the "bleeping noise". Just, loosen up a little, and not banning people for saying words that really aren't offensive to anyone but Saber and a few nerds on wikipedia. It not only makes no sense, it is unfair and sorta taking the fun away of being in chat if you always have to be careful what to say or what not to say because half of the words could be seen as curse words. If we'd bleep out all words Saber hates on television, all shows would be nothing but one big bleep.
Another thing is the maximum number of mods. There's like this rule, that makes absolutely no sense at all, and that rules says you have a maximum ammount of mods. I say we get rid of that rule so we can have as many mods as there are people fit for the job. Having more then one mod in chat is a good thing because if there's only one, he can basically do whatever the hell he feels like doing. If there is another one, there is some more control. Keeps the ego's in check and whatnot.
So, I suggest:
- We get rid of the "maximum number of mods" because it's a pointless and illogical rule (even Saber will agree, aswell as our logic queen so can't go wrong there)
- We loosen up the rules a bit when it comes to "bad words" in chat and not outlaw a million different words, some of whom are pretty harmless... like the word, badass. Pretty normal word, not offensive to anyone, yet it almost got me banned for 1000 years. Or the word "bloody", which can be used to sound British.
Hope y'all think my sugegstions are highly ACCEPTPABLEEEEEE!!!!!!

Found a photo of one of my canvas'. I have others done in the same dry brush technique which I will upload when I am able to take photos of them. Then maybe I can upload a better photo of this one as the angle of the camera is off distorting the face slightly but never mind.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Storyboard Project
Back into second year of uni at the University of Glamorgan !
To kick off the year we had a storyboarding project. We were given a script for an episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and had to make a storyboard for our own selected part in the script. Seeing as I have never watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I struggled with the action sequences with only a help of a standard standing turn around found online, but apart from that I am happy with how the overall storyboard came out.
I decided to do use a fine liner for the outlining, then adding grey pen to give slight shading and to overall make the drawing easier to read. I then went back with coloured pencil to show the turtle characters. I wanted to keep the overall look very simple with only a colour spotting look to show character, and used a dark background only when the background was of importance within the scene so it was clear what the main subject of the shot was.
The script I was given was Rafael ripping off the military ribbons of a gangster as he is impersonating an officer, followed by a cheesy joke involving a satellite falling on his back and impersonating a turtle. After this, the "Globfather" and Rafael battle as the turtles look on shocked and helpless.
If you see that's whats going on then I guess my job is done !
Tuesday, 12 June 2012
The first post .. Well I'll start with the last project of my first year of uni ! This is some concept design I had to create for a specific era beif, in which I chose the Georgian period. My first time proper doing a design project, fun and a huge learning curve.

Trigger was a sweetie form the moment we met him, even on his own turf he had no hesitations to meet us, strangers to him. The image will never leave us of his wagging tail on his wounded battered body, yet all he wanted was to make friends. From that moment until the present, Triggers temperament has remained the same, a happy, joyful guy. Trigger is happy as a clam here at the shelter, the smallest things we take for granted in our own dog's lives, are what Trigger lives for now each and every day. Trigger has a room set up outside of our main kennels, where he has the King suite of accommodations. Trigger enjoys coming in each morning to find what new soft comfy bed he will have that day. He demands his breakfast, then he rests comfortably, with a rawhide or Kong slathered in peanut butter. Throughout the day, Trigger enjoys walks on our trail with staff and volunteers. Trigger also enjoys down time cuddling on our couch with his human friends here at the shelter. Trigger tries to convince everyone that he is hungry by carrying his bowl around in his kennel; we have even caught him falling asleep with the edge of his bowl in his mouth. We know that Trigger had experience at his previous home with other dogs who shared the yard he was in, but they were kept under stressful conditions. An adoption to a home with other dogs or children would need to be carefully considered as Trigger may have food resource guarding issues, given the prior living conditions of how he was kept.

As this is the début post here on Web Tech Gadgetry I am going to start with a relatively short one to get into the swing of things.
This is a tip that may not apply to all as this only really works on Macs that were supposedly not shipped with AirDrop capabilities, no doubt a marketing ploy by Apple to encourage consumers to upgrade.
This little trick is deceivingly simple to undertake, simply open up a terminal window and enter:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1
You may find that this does absolutely nothing to start with, however open Activity Monitor, force quit Finder and start her back up again. You should now find that you have the AirDrop icon in your Finder's sidebar.
This is of course only a very quick, quick tip so to speak and in the future James and I will be writing posts consisting of slightly bulkier content. In the mean time I hope that this little trick helps those of you out there who are still running some of the older Mac models and require the features that AirDrop offers on OS X.
In the future we will be posting articles on the latest innovations of technology, and the occasional review on the latest hardware and software.
Get ready for a OS X Mavericks review sometime later this month!

Facebook is becoming way too important to so many people, myself included. Sure it is wonderful to be able to keep in touch with friends and family, share funny things about our day, pictures of our kids, food, and many other things. But when you roll things like blogs, twitter, Instagram, snap chat... and any other social media platform in to our daily lives, when is it TOO MUCH?
Since the election, I have come to realize that social media is a toxic force in my life as well as many other people I know. I sit back watch people I care about, fight and cut ties with one another over political stances. I have also seen a side to many people in my life, that I wish I hadn't. My constant connection to people, you'd think would create stronger relationships, but the reality is, facebook is ruining them for many of us.
So, I have stepped back, because I don't want to preserve friendships, and my sanity.
In November, I deleted my account for a couple weeks, then got back on during the holidays, but then had to delete it again a few weeks ago because it was just too much. Too much news, too much hate, too much shit that I just don't need in my life.
Something that started to happen this time however, friends and family members noticed I was off, and then got mad at me. I just deactivated my Facebook account (but kept Facebook messenger, a nifty new option)however, people thought I restricted them, or somehow blocked them from seeing my page and posts. The fact that they could see me on messenger but not on Facebook confused them. Seriously everyone in my personal life if you noticed that I deleted my Facebook page and your first reaction to that, was and angry and defensive.... you really need to step back and ask yourself, why do you care so much? It is just Facebook!
During this disconnected time, some crazy things started to happen in my life. I am more organized, I am not as stressed out, my kids and I spend more quality time with no interruptions, and I am just over all happier and healthier. I honestly do not believe that mentally it is a good thing to be connected to people and to the news every single day, all day. If the state of our world is weighing you down too, I highly recommend stepping back from the internet for a bit of time, you'll feel lighter, I promise.
A couple months ago, (before the holidays) I made these donuts, but during my hiatus, I forgot to share them with you all. With sugaring season right around the corner, I think you all need to have a Maple Bar recipe in your back pocket!
Maple Bacon Bars
These donuts are light and airy, topped with a pure maple syrup glaze, and a crispy strip of bacon.
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup maple syrup
3 tbs room temperature unsalted butter
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 package Red Star Platinum Yeast (or other quick rise yeast)
2 tbs warm water (for yeast)
1 tbs granulated sugar (for yeast)
About 3 cups of bread flour (all purpose flour works too)
Vegetable Oil for frying (at least 4 cups)
1 pound of bacon, fried
For the glaze:
1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
pinch of salt
Meanwhile, add milk, 1/4 cup water, 1/3 cup maple syrup, butter and salt together in a sauce pan, heat until the butter melts and the mixture reaches 90 degrees.
Add mixture into a mixing bowl and mix in one cup of flour until a thick batter has formed. Add in yeast mixture and the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time.
When the dough comes together and is only slightly sticky pour it out on to a well floured surface. Knead for about 6-8 minutes (add in more flour as need) or until the dough is elastic, when you pinch a piece, it should pull back.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise. On a cold winter day, I crack the oven and place the bowl on the cook top so it stays nice and cozy!
Allow dough to rise until it has doubled in size. Forget timing it.... every one's rise time with be different. So please, pay attention to the size of the dough!
Once the dough has doubled pour it out on to a well floured surface again, and roll it out until it is about 1/4-1/3 of an inch thick. Using sharp knife cut doughnuts out into rectangles (about 2x3in) and set aside on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet (again choose a warm spot). You can re-roll and cut scraps if desired, I usually just cut them into small pieces and fry them as they are. My kids enjoy the odd shaped scrap doughnuts for some reason!
Allow cut doughnuts to rise until they have fully doubled in size (or even bigger, I let them go until they triple)
Once they have at least doubled in size. Heat the frying oil in a heavy bottomed pot. I use my dutch oven, whatever size pan you choose just make sure you have at least 3 inches of oil in the bottom. Heat oil to 360 degrees.
Fry doughnuts a couple at a time, making sure not to crowd them. About 2 minutes per side. Once they are golden brown remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain any extra grease.
Once all the doughnuts have fried and have cooled a bit, start preparing your glaze.
In a mixing bowl whisk maple syrup and powdered sugar with a pinch of salt together until smooth.
Dunk each fried doughnut in the glaze and coat just the top. Place on a baking rack, and top with a slice of bacon.
