Currently DH is gone and will be back within a week or so. When he comes home, we are supposed to go to FL to get a few things done with our house and for him to meet with people for his job when he gets out of the Navy. When his parents were here for Thanksgiving, his mom ended up taking a percocet from us. We count when they are going to visit because we noticed ones missing in the past. He confronted his mom and she gave a explanation that she is depressed and just wanted the pain to stop and all these things that made no sense as to why she took our pills (like them not having a big house for her grandkids to grow up in). I got annoyed with her explanation because how is she supposed to watch my kids if she is depressed and taking pills and we don't and never have lived with them so why does it matter if THEY have a big house? Anyways so DH then pretty much tells her not to do it again but then the whole message is about making her feel better about the house and any thing she said. She never had to really own up to it, she never said it would never happen again and she never said sorry for doing it. DH also lied about why we counted the pills... he said it was to make sure our boys never got into them (because our 6 year old is totally going to go pop some pills right?
Anyways, when we go MIL wants to watch all the kids. I already told DH I wasn't ready to leave Kara and me EBF is a good excuse. MIL has talked about wanting to drive and take the boys to a restaurant. I'm not comfortable with this. I think there needs to be consequences for what she did and one of which should be she isn't allowed to drive our kids around until she gains our trust back and we KNOW she isn't taking anything. Also with Kara having two teeth now, my nipples are sore (even though I haven't felt her bite at all) and I'm debating giving her some bottles which is a debate I've been having with myself for some time. I worry that if I am no longer EBF that MIL and DH will try to convince me to leave Kara and I'm just flat out not ready for that... plus the issues with not trusting her just adds to me not wanting to.
So should I email DH trying to explain everything or should I wait until he is home? I worry about face to face because I worry I'll get emotional and end up expressing my concerns in a way that he feels like I'm attacking his mom and also we might be on a time limit with this conversation because of actually leaving for FL. I also worry about email because if it starts an argument, he is on the ship and can't email frequently and might end up going on for a couple days.
Input? TIA!

The virtual-reality hype train sure is running on full steam lately. In recent years, we've seen the fledgling concept of virtual reality rise from the grave of obscurity into an all-new tech trend. Devices like the Oculus Rift and Samsung's Gear VR headset are selling out in huge numbers, and it's no wonder why so many game developers are eager to work with VR. The technology offers so many possibilities for consumer immersion that filmmakers (and even restaurants) have started using it, hoping to revolutionize the way they tell stories and sell products, respectively. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that the amusement park industry is trying to make use of the technology as well.
Virtual reality is said to be the next big thing in amusement parks
This year, we've already seen several "virtual reality roller coasters" pop up at Alton Towers and various Six Flags theme parks. With the use of VR headsets, these parks hope to turn their seemingly ordinary roller coasters into fully immersive media experiences for guests to enjoy. Instead of just seeing the track ahead of you, you can be surrounded by explosions and city skylines as you fly through the air. It sounds promising, but can such an ambitious concept as a whole live up to its potential?
As a huge coaster fan, I wasn't sure if completely updating the traditional experience of a roller coaster would be more than just a trendy gimmick. However, I was still willing to give it a shot, as the idea of adding immersive media to already thrilling rides admittedly caught my interest.
I decided to try out the VR roller coaster for myself
Last Sunday, I drove up to Six Flags New England, where a VR experience was recently added to Superman: The Ride. Upon entering the station, I didn't exactly get a good first impression of the ride. The experience uses the Samsung Gear VR headset, which is held onto riders with three Velcro straps that go around the head, a Velcro chin strap, and a lanyard that is buckled around the neck. Right off the bat, I noticed many of the passengers struggling to put on their headsets while seated. This caused ride attendants to go back and forth making sure the guests had their headsets on correctly. Meanwhile, the passengers in the train behind them were sitting in the hot sun waiting for the train to leave the station.
In the meantime, a ride attendant gave me my headset in a haste, as two other attendants rushed to sanitize the ones from the last train. While it was good to know that the sweat and grease from the previous passenger wouldn't be on my face, I was concerned at how the headsets were being cleaned. The employees seemed to be rubbing the headsets' padding with damp hand towels at an alarmingly fast pace. I suddenly felt a rush of sympathy for the workers, as they were probably instructed to clean the headsets as quickly as possible.
One year ago, when the ride was painted purple and called Bizzaro, the workers at the station were much more relaxed, and nobody was rushing to clean twenty pairs of VR headsets at a time. I could only imagine how much the workers longed for the days without VR and stressful labor.
The VR headsets were difficult to hand out promptly
The wait times were also much shorter, and this ride could dispatch 10 trains in five minutes. Now it takes 10 times as long for guests to board just so they could put the headsets on. In fact, later that day, the ride had a wait time of over two-and-a-half hours, while most of the park's other rides had wait times of under 20 minutes. It sure didn't seem like a worthy investment to me.
After getting my headset, I was immediately told to wait behind the gates, as I was the next person to board the roller coaster. The previous train was still not ready to leave the station, so I still had a little while to wait before I could get on the ride. At this point, I noticed that the ability to choose which seat to take was gone. Instead of getting to wait a little longer to sit in the front seat, I was directed to sit in the middle. While this isn't that big of a deal, I was pretty disappointed to see the front row queue taken over by a cabinet full of headsets. It seemed like traditional convenience was sacrificed in favor of modernizing the ride.
I finally boarded Superman: The Ride
After about 10 minutes, I was finally able to board the next train. I got in my seat and attempted to put on the headset, only to realize that I was not instructed on how to put it on. After all, it's pretty hard to put on something when it's blocking your vision. Eventually, a ride attendant was able to help me put it on, and I was greeted with the sight of some pretty underwhelming visuals.
The on-ride graphics
Upon putting on the headset, I was greeted with a blurry view of Metropolis. I took on the role of a kid wearing a Batman shirt sitting in what seemed like a single-person monorail. The headset uses a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge to display the graphics, so they were naturally quite lacking for such a hyped-up ride experience. Everything looked like it was straight out of a PlayStation 2 game, and, for something that was billed as being a high-tech experience, I was fairly let down by it. Still, though, at least it was in color and not in red and black (*cough* Virtual Boy *cough*).
A few more tedious minutes went by before the train finally left the station, sending me and the rest of the passengers up the lift hill. As the train ascended the lift hill, the screen showed Lex Luthor using a tractor beam to derail the monorail and send it floating into the air. This could have been a cool scene, except for the fact that I could barely hear the audio on it. As Lex Luthor tore up the monorail station, the soundtrack was pretty much drowned out by the sound of the lift hill. The lack of any sound effects killed much of the immersion, and I was suddenly pretty apathetic to the experience.
The ride was exciting once I got past the uneven quality of the VR
Soon enough, the train reached the top of the lift hill, and Superman showed up on screen to save the day. Thankfully, this is where the ride finally started getting good. The second that Superman blasts Lex's tractor beam, you're sent flying down towards the street. This is the part where I started screaming repeatedly as the force of the drop completely took me by surprise. The inefficiency of the headsets and the sub-par graphics had lowered my expectations to a point where I forgot that I was riding a 200-plus-foot-tall ride.
Once the ride got going, my criticisms of the graphics went straight out the window, as I was suddenly fully immersed in the environment. I was flying through an epic battle between Superman and Lex Luthor, and enjoying every second of it. I hadn't memorized the track layout, so every new twist and turn was unexpected and added to the ride's excitement. Not being able to see the track made the ride an unpredictable and terrifying experience, and I had a big fat smile on my face by the end of it. Of course, that smile was quickly flattened out by having to wait for the train ahead to leave the station.
While I was entertained by the experience, I still think that the ride would be better off without VR. The inefficiency of the final product has far too many problems to work out in the long run.
Although the VR is optional, it still put a heavy burden on guest service and efficiency. With long lines, confused passengers and stressful working conditions, the desire to make the next big thing in thrill rides feels feels like more of an inconvenience than an innovation. According to other coaster fans I've spoken to, many of the other new VR roller coasters have the same problems. While the concept still has potential, the amusement park industry should probably have waited a bit longer before green-lighting it. The idea is still too young, and the inefficiency of its current execution overshadows the enjoyment of the ride itself. Hopefully in the future they can figure out a way to create new thrill ride experiences without sacrificing the necessary elements of efficiency and convenience.

Hi guys and gals, I'm Bennie, a new cat here with an interest in the darker shades of imagination. I've been doing this for quite some time and you may notice about any style I may use that I love to manipulate and bend and flat-out break rules of punctuation because (a) I have one degree in journalism and another in mass media and one more in plain old English and (b) after all that noise you realize that wayyy too many punctuation rules are truly, purely arbitrary and too often get in the way of smooth flow and authentic dialogue.

NY Mag writer pens the best defense of the Brooklyn youngs
Look, even us here in the sticky, stale-beer-smelling heart of the Brooklyn blogosphere have grown weary of reading story after trend piece after think piece dissecting this whole "Brooklyn" thing, so we can only imagine how sick of it the rest of the city, country and world must be (Field and Stream is probably planning its own centerpiece story at this moment). But the latest one that everyone is talking about, New York Magazine's cover story by Mark Jacobson this week comparing "new" and "old" Brooklyn, is worth a full read, in that it neither condemns gentrification nor consigns Brooklyn to a future entirely constructed of beard trimmings and artisanal mayonnaise.
Jacobson, a Brooklyn native and the father of two self-identified hipster gentrifier daughters, looks at what the Nets arena means for the changing borough, among all its other new elements. He reaches a conclusion that it's perfectly OK for young people to make Brooklyn their playground, because it's better than living in Miami on the "Jell-o shot diet." Read his succinct defense of the youngs:
Jacobson writes, after a run in with a Coney Island freak named Adam, who decried that the new Brooklyn was "horrible!"because of "Hipsters, fucking hipsters!":
Didn't like to disagree with Adam, whom I love. But these were my kids we were talking about, them and their friends. They weren't the ones building high-rises in Williamsburg, the big arenas. They were just looking for a place to be young. Who knew why perfectly normal-seeming people get tattoos, drink so weirdly much, make fetishes out of various food groups like cupcakes, and adopt the diffident poses of actors in Wes Anderson movies? Youth occurs in a time of its own, immune to criticism from those claiming to have had better youths. As idiotic and privileged as it might seem on the surface, growing up remains no easy thing. Every passage to adulthood is a hero's journey, to be respected, in its own way.
So it was a good thing these people lived here now, sold their overpriced sodas at Smorgasburg, downloaded from Pitchfork. What else were they supposed to do? Work on the docks, like some Arthur Rimbaud figure? Fly off into space? Brooklyn, of ample context, was a good place to spend a youth, better than South Beach, on the Jell-O-shot diet. Besides, most of them would soon be gone, back to wherever they came from. The ones who stay would be subsumed into the giant swirl of time and place that is the true Brooklyn Brand.
So if you're one of the ones who stays around for awhile instead of fleeing back to the Midwest (a smaller group than you might think, actually), you earn some cred, at least in his eyes. For the record, we would totally take a job in space, if only they were freaking hiring. Until then, we toil on through this Brooklyn youth. And somewhere in their deep underground volcanic dungeon, the curmudgeons at DieHipster are frothing at the mouth with rage.

The more I think about this article, the more I like it. Such a thoughtful and well-written examination of Brooklyn past and present, without all the judging.
We'll all be judging Brooklyn in our own right, from here to eternity over however many beers and whiskeys, and no one needs another essay damning the borough for its often-ridiculous flaws. This is just solid storytelling.

Space Launches in China and Russia
Two space launches, that were conducted in China and Russia this week, became the 7th and 8th missions for the period from March 25 to March 31 - unprecedented launch activity over the latest years. Moreover, launch of BeiDou navigation spacecraft was the 4th (out of 8 overall), when a navigation satellite was orbited, after GPS IIF-9, Galileo FOC 7 & 8, and IRNSS-1D missions. Some latest missions details:
On March 30, 2015, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) conducted successful launch of Long March-3C launch vehicle with a satellite for BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the southwest China's Sichuan Province. The mission orbited the 17th satellite of BeiDou orbital constellation and marked beginning of its expansion from regional to global coverage. The latest satellite is expected to test a new type of navigation signaling and inter-satellite links, providing a basis to start building the global network.
On March 31, 2015, Russian Aerospace Defence Forces ('VKO') conducted successful launch of Rockot launch vehicle with three Gonets-M communications satellites into a low Earth orbit (LEO) from Plesetsk spaceport in Russia. This was the 23rd orbital mission for Rockot, a derivative rocket from UR-100N (SS-19 'Stiletto') intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The mission orbited the 11th, 12th, and 13th spacecraft in existing Gonets LEO satellite constellation.
European governments, ESA and Ariane 6 prime contractor, Airbus Safran Laucnhers, decide on how to share responsibility over Ariane 6 funding. While both Airbus Safran Launchers and ESA have signed a two-page document that appears to express a common view of Ariane 6 costs, the two sides agree that the underlying disagreement over who pays what remains unresolved, reports SpaceNews.
"There are many, many questions to be solved over the division of responsibility between industry and government, and we all knew it would be a long road to settle... There is no catastrophe. The program is moving forward. But at some point these issues will need to be resolved." An official from a European government with regards to Ariane 6 funding issues
It was noted that the document reaffirms Ariane 6 development cost at 3.215 billion euros ($3.91 billion) between 2015 and the planned inaugural flight of 2020. This figure does not include new Ariane 6 launch pad, which is being built under the authority of French space agency, CNES. It is also known that Ariane 6's solid-fuel strap-on boosters - two in case of Ariane 62 rocket and four for heavy-lift Ariane 64 - will be the same as new small-class Vega-C rocket first stage.

"When you get punctured and open a wound, you have to stop the bleeding. Like a boxer, you have to dig in and keep coming forward. You can't get on your heels."
Related quotes
"We dropped a few minutes on the second stage today when we had to change a front left puncture, which is a real pity as we were quickest on stage one. I think we'll need a lot of luck for a win now but I'm happy with our pace this afternoon; the car is feeling good and we only have to make minor changes tonight. We have another repeated set of stages tomorrow; most people seem to make up time the second time through so I prefer to try and take a bit of an advantage on the first run."
"Tire debris and wheel shrapnel resulted in damage to the No. 2 engine, puncture of three fuel tanks, and severance of several hydraulic lines and electrical wires. Additionally, a large hole was torn in the top wing skin which covers the wheel well area."

NEW YORK - Higher gasoline costs and steeper rates at hotels and motels might have some families worried that they won't be able to take a vacation trip this year. But experts say there are affordable alternatives - and many of them are close to home.
Vacation costs are indeed rising. The price of regular, unleaded gasoline currently averages about $2.90 a gallon, 36 percent higher than the average of $2.13 last summer, according to the latest figures from the AAA motorists' club. AAA also found in its annual holiday survey that a family of two adults and two children can expect to pay an average of $261 per day for food and lodging, up more than 5 percent from $247 last year.
Geoff Sundstrom, a spokesman for AAA, headquartered in Heathrow, Fla., said consumers who want to hold down costs will benefit from comparison shopping.
"Get on the Internet and look for discounts ... or evaluate and compare properties and their pricing," he said.
For example, families can lower the expense of visiting a theme park in several ways - by purchasing discount tickets in advance over the Internet, by downloading coupons that can be redeemed at the gate or by using memberships in associations such as AAA or AARP to get discounts at the facility.
Diane McCurdy, a financial planner in Bakersfield, Calif., said families should remember the important thing about vacations is taking a break.
"It's important to take the time, but that doesn't have to mean you're going to an expensive spa," she said. "There are ways to recharge without breaking the bank."
McCurdy, the author of "How Much is Enough? Balancing Today's Needs with Tomorrow's Retirement Goals," said the most obvious thing families can do is explore their hometowns - or nearby cities - as if they were tourists.
Check out the museums and art galleries, she suggests. Find out what's free during the summer, like tours through landmark or historical districts. Or you can check out the local zoo or aquarium.
"It's good to get the whole family involved in planning the activities," McCurdy said. "It gets everyone excited, and it's part of the fun."
Families also can consider hiking and camping in nearby state and national parks, she added.
"For most kids it doesn't matter if you're an hour from home or 10 hours from home," she said. "It's about the experience."
Troy Corley, who publishes guidebooks such as "Free L.A. - The Ultimate Free Fun Guide to the City of Angels," said she has often found low-cost or no-cost vacation activities close to home.
Start at the public library, she advises. Besides lending out books and DVDs, libraries often have free summer reading programs for kids as well as special programs for adults, such as classes on how to write memoirs or how to research family history.
Next, check out the schedule of the local department of parks and recreation for nature programs, hikes and even storytelling around a campfire. A city's convention and visitors' bureau should have a list of local festivals and special events, she added.
Corley also is an advocate of taking out memberships in local institutions.
"If your kid or family enjoys the zoo or a particular museum, become a member," she said. "It will almost pay for itself on your first visit. And you can visit every day that it's open for the entire year."
In addition, many cultural institutions have reciprocal programs with other institutions so the member of a museum in one city gets free admission at museums in other cities, she said.

Viking Longship Ve
Cruise line: Viking River Cruises
Ship: Viking Longship Ve
Viking Longship Ve
Every single member of the Viking River Cruises' Longship-class fleet follows the same exacting standards as its predecessors, with patented corridor design, cutting edge green credentials (including solar panels and diesel-electric hybrid engines) and beautiful interiors that reflect the line's Scandinavian roots. Released in 2015, the Viking Longship Ve is one of the latest Longship-class vessels demonstrating the innovative engineering, outstanding design features and elegant, yet relaxed and comfortable, style that Viking River Cruises has a strong reputation for.
All Longship-class ships, including the Ve, can accommodate up to 190 passengers, with staterooms and suites situated on three out of the four decks onboard. Most passengers who choose to travel with Viking Cruises tend to be English-speaking, mature and well-travelled, with an intrinsic love of travel, history and culture. The Programme Director and Viking Daily newsletter ensure free time and excursions are planned effectively to ensure all guests onboard can make the most of their river cruise experience.
The main dining room onboard is furnished beautifully, with tables featuring crisp white linens, gleaming silverware and glistening glassware. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of the river too - a perfect accompaniment to any service. The open seating policy and the casual dress code ensure guests can feel relaxed and comfortable among the elegant and sophisticated décor. It is here where breakfast and lunch are served as a varied buffet, with a vast selection of dishes available from the central buffet station. Hot dishes including made-to-order eggs at breakfast and entrees during lunch service are also available. Dinner is different, with a five-course a la carte menu available for all diners, including a choice of popular favourites and locally-inspired authentic dishes which will appeal to anyone wishing to try something a little different. Itinerary-specific meals are also occasionally presented during the voyage. Complimentary drinks including local wines, beers, soft drinks and water are available with lunch and dinner, and hot drinks can be poured from the self-serve beverage station around the clock. If you wish, you can upgrade this drinks package to include premium wines and spirits at a fixed cost. One of the popular features of the Longship-class ships is the al-fresco Aquavit Terrace that can be found at the front of the Observation Lounge. If guests fancy something a bit more casual, lighter fare and dishes served from the grill are available daily, and thanks to the innovative design of the area, the views can be enjoyed even when the weather isn't pleasant.
The Observation Lounge is the main social hub of the ship, and features a full-service bar and a resident pianist. Entertainment is low-key, with local performers occasionally invited onboard to showcase regional music and acts, including Austrian and Hungarian classics. The welcome and farewell dinners are perfect opportunities to socialise and enjoy the lively ambience of an exciting river cruise.
One of the main draws of a river cruise is the offshore opportunities that are on offer, and Viking cruises are no different. Guided tours are included in the fare, and audio headsets are available to ensure the local guide's narrative isn't missed. Optional shore excursions can also be joined, such as following the 'Romantic Road' to Rothenberg as part of the Grand European tour. Of course, guests can explore independently when there is free time to do so. The enthralling Viking Culture Curriculum ensures that guests can delve into a range of unique experiences, no matter what itinerary they choose to book. Passengers on the Viking Ve can learn how to make their own Alsatian Flammkuchen or regional Rudesheimer coffee, and can observe a traditional glassblower onboard or attend a number of expert-led lectures which cover topics such as the current affairs in Germany, Holland and the EU, and the origins of Rhine River cruising. In addition, the ship also features a boutique and library corner, and guests can make use of the ship-wide Wi-Fi at no extra charge.
There are 95 staterooms and suites onboard – all of which provide an outside view of some description, ranging from half-height picture windows in the standard staterooms, to either French balconies or verandas – or both. Suite accommodation features both a French balcony and a full-size veranda – Explorer suites have wraparound verandas that deliver beautiful 270-degree views. Amenities that come as standard include: comfortable hotel-style beds (with optional twin configuration available), ample storage solutions, flatscreen TV with entertainment package, individual climate control, hairdryer, refrigerator, telephone, in-room safe and complimentary bottled water. Suites have separate sleeping and seating areas. Every stateroom has a private bathroom with shower, premium bath products and bathrobes & slippers (on request). In addition, higher end accommodation features heated floors and mirrors in their spacious bathrooms.
The expansive Sun Deck onboard features a large walking track, putting green and deck games for if you fancy a little healthy competition. If you'd prefer to kick back, relax and admire the beautiful 360-degree views, the comfortable sunloungers and shaded seating area are also available.
The Viking Longship Ve currently sails two itineraries – the eight day Rhine Getaway and the 15 day 'Grand European Tour' which includes parts of the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers. The Rhine Getaway offers six guided tours as part of its itinerary, including visits to Heidelberg where guests can wander around the ruins of its impressive castle, Cologne and its incredible Dom, the windmills and waterworks at Kinderdijk and the beautiful, cultural city of Strasbourg. Extend your cruise with a stay in Amsterdam or Lucerne, or sign up to optional excursions such as the Black Forest, Alsace Wineries or Marksburg Castle. The Grand European Tour includes 13 guided tours – the first four days mirror the above itinerary, but then the cruise branches off to include visits to Miltenberg, Wurzburg, Bamberg, Regensburg, Passau, Melk, Vienna and Austria. Follow the 'Romantic Road' between Wurzburg and Rothenberg, sample smoke-flavoured beer in Bamberg or enjoy a tour of Krems and the Steiner Tor city gate. This itinerary is jam-packed, and it's easy to see why it's one of the most popular tours that Viking offers.

The Panasonic DMP-BDT300 is a 3D-enabled Blu-ray disc player that's quiet and fast, and it can access the Viera Cast suite of Internet features as well as media files from your home network. Apart from its expensive price, it is an excellent device.
The Panasonic DMP-BDT300 is a Blu-ray disc player that can read the new 3D Blu-ray disc format. It can also access Internet content such as YouTube and Picasa. It's as full of features as any other Blu-ray disc player we've seen, but it does come with a hefty price tag.
The DMP-BDT300 is an attractive device, but its styling is at odds with the Panasonic Viera TH-P50VT20A 3D plasma TV we set it up next to. A smooth, highly polished fascia hides the disc tray and single-line display. Around the DMP-BDT300's rear, you can find the usual component and composite analog video connectors, USB and Ethernet ports as well as two HDMI sockets. This makes it easier to connect the Panasonic DMP-BDT300 to an external home theatre system or A/V receiver as well as directly to a 3D television — since only a few receivers support HDMI 1.4, connecting the DMP-BDT300 to the television via most current receivers will not allow 3D content to be displayed. Having two HDMI ports neatly solves this issue.
Strangely enough the Panasonic DMP-BDT300 doesn't have any internal flash memory, which is required for the player to access BD-Live content. You'll need to purchase an SD card and plug it in. On the plus side, the DMP-BDT300 does support playback of AVCHD video and JPEG picture files — which is convenient if you're using a card out of a digital camera or video camera.
The Panasonic DMP-BDT300 starts up quickly and quietly. Its Quick Start mode means the device draws more power in standby than if it were completely switched off, but this eliminates long start-up times for movies. If you're used to switching your Blu-ray player on and making a coffee while the disc loads, this is a useful bonus. The DMP-BDT300 draws a reasonable 32 Watts during operation according to Panasonic, and HDMI-CEC support means turning off your television will send the Blu-ray player into standby as well.
During loading and playback of our Coraline 3D, Ice Age 3 3D and Terminator: Salvation test movies, the Panasonic DMP-BDT300 remained quiet and didn't make any untoward disc-seeking noises. If you value a serene home theatre environment where movies' quiet scenes aren't interrupted by whirring fans or disc lasers, the Panasonic DMP-BDT300 will serve admirably.
If you connect the Panasonic DMP-BDT300 to your home network, you'll gain access to DLNA media streaming from a compatible PC (which requires Windows 7 to be installed), as well as Viera Cast Internet services. While we were disappointed that the Viera Cast services were limited to YouTube, Picasa and weather services — the TH-P50VT20A 3D plasma TV is able to access Twitter and Skype — it's a useful extra for passing the time. DLNA media streaming is a bigger drawcard if you've got a photo or music library saved on your desktop PC or laptop.
The high price of the Panasonic DMP-DBT300 is in part justified by its ability to play 3D Blu-ray discs. If you're hell-bent on being on the bleeding edge of home entertainment tech then your choice is limited to this Blu-ray player or a handful of others like the Samsung BD-C6900. At the moment we believe they're unnecessarily expensive given the tiny amount of 3D Blu-ray video content available.
If you can get past its price tag, or can justify purchasing it and waiting for more 3D content to be released, the Panasonic DMP-BDT300 is an excellent Blu-ray disc player overall.

Well, everyone must at least feel better now, having chanted and declared for days that we're all Charlie.
It was, or it seemed, a cry for freedom of speech, ringing outward from one of the world's first secular democracies.
In reality, though, with all due respect to the sentiment behind it, Sunday's great march through the centre of Paris, and others like it around the world, must qualify as one of the greatest collective acts of slacktivism so far this century.
And the consequences of all this outrage may be far from what the protesters intended.
Think about it: just whom were these marchers addressing? The executioners who showed up at Charlie Hebdo last week?
If those characters were still alive, they would probably answer no, you're not Charlie, because we killed Charlie.
Perhaps the slogan was directed at the bearded ISIS fighters who've been slaughtering and raping and oppressing their way through modern-day Mesopotamia and the Levant.
If so, the message was probably received with some bemusement. Perhaps even a bit of triumphalism. Score another one for their version of Islam.

Regrettably, eye-candy trumps functionality in this ever-evolving electronic world, and the persons hunting for a CMS to showcase their latest, greatest works of art are quite likely to give this fabulous CMS a miss because they haven't quite seen past the superficial skin. And they will never know what they missed when they rejected it because it wasn't 'pretty' enough for them.
Starting out with the default theme means that all of ocPortal's functionality is present from the 'get-go', and that the 'Admin' and 'Content Management' zones, the heart and lungs of the engine, will always work for you no matter what else you manage to screw up!
When ocPortal has been set up and is working flawlessly for you, that is the time to start 'prettying-it-up' to welcome your hordes of visitors (you wish)!
And that is the time to check out these links, BEFORE you start tweaking:
If that isn't enough, visit Jean's Site where you get an insight into how his mind works, and further links to some of the excellent themes he has already designed. Go on, you know you want to!
Let's cut to the chase. When I first started with ocPortal, none of the references above existed. That didn't matter because I was 'taken' with the default theme and used it 'as-is' for a couple of years - having made the biggest mistake any new user of ocPortal can make.
Sure, we can all attest to the functionality of ocPortal, but it is a truism that there are more 'casual' users than there are discerning webmasters. And we need to appeal to the former as much as we know we appeal to the enlightened latter.
An angry penguin left a rude remark about my site in one of the forums! It was a wake-up call, not just for me, but the ocPortal staff as well. Time for me to give back a little in exchange for the pleasure I've had using this CMS, so, I've taken a completely fresh installation (version 7.0) and hacked at the theme display.
The attachment is a scaled down image to limit the upload size, and you will necessarily need to visit the test site to view the site in all its glory on your own screens. The URL and login details will come at the end.
The fundamental idea was to put up the skeleton of an alternative 'add-on' theme that a casual user might find appealing, but that it should encompass ALL the functionality of an ocPortal installation. They can strip away stuff they don't want, or may never use, but at the very least the theme should support whatever they decide to retain.
If the response I get from you more knowledgeable users of the CMS borders on the affirmative, then the foundation laid by this theme can be expanded into offerings of 2-column, 3-column, fixed-width, flexi, boxy, non-boxy, light, dark, any colour variation/combination, or whatever else is suggested.
Let's have your feedback, even if it is penguin-ish!
Edit: Jean took me to task for omitting one of the more important tutes on this site. So, let me rectify that omission immediately:

As a new ocPortal user, I would have liked that more themes exist even if only for inspiration and quick deployment. I have settled on the standard them, for now, and plan on focusing on getting my site live with a fairly bare-bones set of features as I firmly believe "content is king". This will give me the opportunity to add features as the community grows. And, I will also do a new theme at some point.
But, here's to hoping that more theme choices become available because I think that many potential users strike ocPortal off the list for this one issue alone (in spite of the Theme Wizard).

You've got a way with words and a whole lot of other things to make this presentation one-of-a-kind. It will certainly serve splendidly as the foundation for the evolutionary theme layers you've suggested.

London, July 4: The Indian doctor arrested in Liverpool, named as 26-year-old Sabeel Ahmed, was disabled with a Taser gun, it emerged today.
This suggests that Merseyside police considered him to be a possible suicide bomber and were not prepared to take any sort of risk with him.
The American-built Taser gun, which emits a 50,000-volt, does not kill in theory (though it has proved fatal in some circumstances) but human rights groups like Amnesty International have been unhappy about its use by British police.
The Taser was fired on Ahmed outside the Adelphi Hotel near Lime Street station on Saturday evening.
It is considered a less lethal option than firing on a suspected suicide bomber, which is what Scotland Yard did and repeatedly on the Asian looking man at Stockwell police station on July 22, 2005. Only, he turned out to be the totally innocent 27-year-old Brazilian electrician, Jean Charles de Menezes.
Since that appalling case of mistaken identity, police have become much more conscious of the need for certainty before using firearms. Hence, use of the Taser has become more frequent.
If Ahmed turns out to be innocent and India House was today, under instructions from Pranab Mukherjee, getting round to seeking information about him his lawyers may take up the use of the Taser against him.
More details will emerge about Ahmed who is said to have trained originally at the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences in Bangalore. He works at hospitals in Halton and Warrington, which are in the surrounding Cheshire countryside.
Ahmed has been linked with Mohammed Haneef, 27,who was arrested in Brisbane as he was about to fly to India.
Haneef and Ahmed may have worked at the same time at the Royal Liverpool Hospital, though this has not been confirmed.
The Taser guns, pioneered in America in the 1970s, deliver a five-second 50,000- volt charge. In September 2004, following a year-long trial, the Home Office announced that all firearms officers in England and Wales would be allowed to use the Taser.
Tests have shown that the Taser is very effective while the charge is being applied, according to Assistant Chief Constable of Merseyside police Mick Giannasi.
It reduces the risk to officers, offenders and members of the public because it can be fired from a distance and is an alternative to a firearm. It is a strong visual deterrent that does not cause serious injury and has no lasting physical effects.
Giannasi, whose jurisdiction includes Liverpool, said: The Taser, along with the plastic baton round, is a less lethal option and in no way replaces the conventional firearm. Armed response teams will now have the option to use Tasers as part of a range of equipment to diffuse a difficult situation.
However, Amnesty argues Tasers should be treated as potentially lethal weapons and be subject to the same restrictions as conventional firearms.
Amnesty Internationals UK director, Kate Allen, pointed out: Tasers have been used in the US against pregnant women, unruly schoolchildren and mentally ill people. In some cases, simply walking away from a police officer has led to people getting a 50,000-volt electric shock. Is this a glimpse into the future of UK policing'
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said it shared Amnestys concerns and accepted there were inherent dangers in their use.
The chairman of the IPCC, Nick Hardwick, commented: The IPCC supports the use of Tasers as less lethal options for trained firearms officers only. If the option is to shoot somebody dead or use a Taser, we back the use of the Taser every time.
This is an opinion with which Dr Sabeel Ahmed would probably agree.

EBS's Haven further tightens mortgage-lending rules
HAVEN mortgages, the broker-focused division of EBS Building Society, has further tightened its lending criteria for first-time buyers.
The lender has decided that new buyers will no longer be able to use income from renting out a room when calculating how much they can borrow.
In the past, the lender used lodger income even if the applicant had no proof that they were in receipt of such income, Frank Conway of Irish Mortgage Brokers said.
People who rent out a room will still be able to receive up to €10,000 a year tax-free, but Haven will not consider that income for a mortgage application.
The move comes weeks after EBS and Haven altered their lending criteria in a number of ways, including changes to the amount of income to be taken into account when assessing mortgage applicants.
EBS also said it would stop lending money for apartments outside major urban areas or commuter-belt locations.
Mr Conway said the change on rental income was in line with calls by the Financial Regulator and the Central Bank to make risk-avoidance the central philosophy. "This very much includes the assessment of incomes used for mortgage applications," he said.
"The announcement by the lender is a move in the right direction and will add to a growing trend of sustainable underwriting criteria and sound lending."
Last week, the regulator accused some lenders of continuing to give out risky loans to first-time buyers.
They were also accused of being more interested in competing with rival banks than in designing mortgage products to suit consumers.
It is understood that regulators are concerned that some lenders are still lending people high multiples of their salaries.
In a letter to lenders, regulatory staff said standards needed to be raised.
"The Central Bank and the Financial Regulator will intervene where they are not satisfied that adequate safeguards exist within a bank," it said.

Phones 4u marketing director Russell Braterman is leaving the independent mobile phone retailer to join Vodafone Group as its brand and creative strategy director from 1 November. Phones 4u has also announced that it is setting up a new Trade Marketing department.
Phones 4u CEO Phil Dobson said: 'Phones 4u marketing director Russell Braterman has decided to leave the business to take up an opportunity in group marketing at Vodafone. Russell will continue to see through the creation and planning of our Q4 marketing campaign and will leave to pursue this new opportunity following that. We would like to wish him all the very best for the future.'
Explaining the creation of the new Trade Marketing department, Dobson said: 'As the mobile marketplace continues to innovate and grow, along with consumer demand for the latest technology, we need to stay ahead of the market in retaining our strong position as a key partner for launching product. As a result, we are pleased to announce the creation of a Trade Marketing department, consisting of the current campaign and PR teams, which will report directly to trading director Scott Hooton.
'This will ensure that we are structured in the most effective way to co-ordinate and control the entire 'Campaign' for each of our products, allowing us to successfully fulfil our promise to manufacturers to create the best product launch across all channels and all customer touch points both in retail and online.
Dobson continued: 'As a result of these changes, the marketing department will now consist of brand positioning and communications and customer insight, which will report directly into a new strategy director (currently in the process of recruiting). The trading team will continue to be responsible for determining the timing, purpose and weight of any ATL campaign.'

Shooter is labeled for use on a wide variety of crops, but Arysta plans to focus on vegetables, including fruiting, corm, root, tuber, bulb, cucurbit and sweet corn, says product manager Marty Wiglesworth.
The insecticide contains a pyrethroid and a blend of essential plant oils, including thyme oil, he says.
The essential plant oils bind to or interfere with the insect's olfactory sites, Wiglesworth says.
Shooter provides broad-spectrum contact activity against a host of pests, including aphids, whiteflies, thrips on the plant surface and lepidoptera—the order of butterflies and moths. It is effective against both adults and nymphs.
Arysta also plans to introduce a product that contains only the essential plant oils.
State registrations are pending.

My main business is PHP Link Directory, and I started that back in 2002. I also do a good deal of web development outside of phpLD. In my free time my wife and I go for walks and compete in ballroom dancing.
