Review for European Collision Center
Carla D. on 08/17/2015
Carla said the facility did a good job on the repair, everyone was very kind, and they helped facilitate the repair on the vehicle. The repair was completed about one week later than had been promise due to having to get a part. Sergio was very helpful during the repair and answered all of her questions.

Nokia is introducing a handheld tablet for Web-browsing over a wireless broadband connection, the company's first nonphone mobile device...
NEW YORK — Nokia is introducing a handheld tablet for Web-browsing over a wireless broadband connection, the company's first nonphone mobile device and the latest in a long line of attempts to create a so-called "Internet appliance" for quick online access around the home.
The new Internet Tablet, unveiled yesterday and slated to go on sale this summer, is based on the open-source Linux operating system rather than the Symbian platform Nokia uses for "smart" cellphones.
Priced at $350, the Internet Tablet is being positioned as an alternative to buying an extra personal computer or laptop for different rooms, providing a cheaper, quicker and less-cumbersome way to connect to the Web and e-mail at home.
There's no hard drive but rather 128 megabytes of onboard flash memory and a memory card slot. Nokia says the device is not intended as a rival to Apple Computer's iPod or other MP3 music players. A software update is expected early next year to add features such as voice-over-Internet telephony and instant messaging.

While fairly unique in terms of its handheld size, the Internet Tablet can be seen as another variation on a concept that has repeatedly failed to catch on — a device that offers easy Internet access and basic tasks such as e-mail for which the computing power of a full-blown PC is unnecessary.
During the Internet bubble, prominent names from a wide range of technology industries dabbled with Web appliances. Intel, Gateway, 3Com, America Online, National Semiconductor and Honeywell all either launched or promised such devices. Nokia itself weighed in with a tablet called the MediaScreen.
Many were wired devices, such as the "Audrey" from 3Com, though a few such as the Airboard from Sony and the WebPAD developed by National Semiconductor used wireless technologies similar to Wi-Fi.
Since the Nokia tablet is meant to be carried from room to room, its 4.1-inch screen is considerably smaller than the display on most of these predecessor appliances but also far bigger and sharper compared with most cellphones and handheld computers.
And rather than serving up stripped-down versions of Web pages like most mobile devices, the tablet uses an Opera browser to display sites as they'd appear on any computer.
Weighing half a pound, the Internet Tablet is three-quarters of an inch thick, 5.6 inches wide and 3.1 inches long. It includes a loudspeaker but there's no typewriter keyboard for thumb-typing e-mail as on popular handheld computers such as the Treo and BlackBerry.
Instead, the tablet comes with a stylus to tap a virtual keyboard on the screen.
The device is designed primarily to use at home, though its Wi-Fi transmitter can also connect with public and commercial hot spots. There's also a USB port to connect with a PC and a Bluetooth transmitter that can be used to connect with a mobile phone that has cellular online access.
The Nokia announcement marks the second time in days that a prominent producer of mobile devices has veered into a new product category.
Last week, PalmOne unveiled a $500 device called the LifeDrive, essentially a cross between a mobile media player, portable hard drive and an organizer.
The LifeDrive features 4 gigabytes of internal storage and a high-resolution screen for on-the-road access to music, video, digital photos, e-mail and office documents.

Local Security Bug in GNU Emacs
A vulnerability in the extended text editor GNU Emacs gives local attackers the ability to run arbitrary code.
Developer Drake Wilson disclosed the vulnerability on the Debian Security mailing list. The error is caused by incorrect behavior of the "hack-local-variables" function if it is set to ":safe". The documentation for the function states that Emacs only runs variables that are declared as safe in this case, but this is not true: Emacs actually ignores the function and uses any local variable. An attacker could exploit this to modify the current user's init file and execute code by means of a carefully crafted Emacs Lisp file.
The bug affects Emacs version 22.1 and possibly others. The Emacs 22.1 package in the Debian Etch repository does not have the bug says another developer. A fix is available from the CVS repository. The vulnerability has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2007-5795. The GNU Emacs maintainer has been notified.

Shanghai port knocks Hong Kong off No2 spot
Shenzhen expected to overtake the city by next year
Shanghai has overtaken Hong Kong as the world's second-busiest port behind Singapore, according to first-quarter throughput figures released by the Hong Kong Port Development Council, marking another drop down the rankings for the former No1.
The mainland port outstripped Hong Kong by 380,000 20-foot equivalent units (teu) in the first three months and is expected by analysts to remain ahead at the end of the year.
Hong Kong lost its position as the world's busiest port in 2005, when it was overtaken by Singapore. Within two years, the city has slipped behind Shanghai and is poised to fall further, with fast-growing Shenzhen port expected to overtake it next year.
'It won't take long. Shenzhen will outstrip Hong Kong as the third-largest port next year,' said Sunny Ho Lap-kee, executive director of the Hong Kong Shippers' Council.
Hong Kong port, including container terminals at Kwai Tsing, the river terminal and mid-stream services, handled 5.5 million teu in the first quarter, up 2.3 per cent over the same period last year. Shanghai moved 5.88 million teu, up 28 per cent. Shenzhen throughput rose 8.2 per cent to 4.26 million teu.
Throughput at Hong Kong declined 8.8 per cent last month after 5.4 per cent growth in January and a 14.2 per cent increase in February. Shenzhen also had mild growth last month.
Mr Ho attributed the slow growth at the start of the year to seasonal effects related to the Lunar New Year, which this year extended to March.
Hong Kong is being overtaken by mainland ports as the city's industrial plants have moved across the border and further up the Pearl River Delta, where exporters are increasingly choosing Shenzhen as their port of call.
In 1994, Hongkong International Terminals, the largest port operator in Hong Kong, started building a container terminal in Yantian to capitalise on the movement of shipments to Shenzhen.
Shanghai was a different story, said a transport analyst. The city is at the helm of the Yangtze River economic zone and cashing in on the economic growth of the region. The Shanghai government pressed hard to make the city the largest port in the world, let alone China, by constructing the 18 billion yuan Yangshan Port.
The local government has also introduced concessions and government instructions to divert shipments to Yangshan.
Relay handling charges for cargo containers moving to and from locations in the Yangtze River delta were cut 53 per cent and shuttle rates between Shanghai's older port at Waigaoqiao and Yangshan were lowered in May last year to 150 yuan from 350 yuan per teu.
After implementation of the measures and an order that Europe-Asia trade be reallocated to Yangshan from Waigaoqiao, Yangshan handled a remarkable 3.25 million teu throughput in its full-year of operation last year.
A second phase of the port, which went on stream in December, will add four more berths by next year.
Shanghai International Port Group, the main operator in Shanghai, is looking to its hinterland along the Yangtze River to lengthen its catchment area, reaching as far as Wuhan, in Hubei province.
As for Hong Kong, the problems of the terminal business have been addressed by the industry for years but the city's government has yet to implement effective measures to stem the damage.
A proposed bridge linking Hong Kong to Macau and Zhuhai has yet to be decided on, as has the construction of Container Terminal 10.

Maryland Philoptochos Chapter Raises Money by Baking Christmas Bread.
A 35-year tradition continues at the Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Parkville, MD.
Members of the St. Demetrios Ladies Philoptochos Society, who are mostly women in their 70s or 80s, gathered recently to make traditional round loaves of Greek Christmas bread, known as Christopsomo, literally translated as "Christ's bread."
With a goal of making 150 loaves, the women are organized into various shifts and responsibilities.
Proceeds of the sale of the loaves will be used to fund national and local charities ranging from the Ronald McDonald House to serving needy children at two area schools.

We had a wonderful week in this house - it has all of the amenities and was very comfortable for our family of 8 which included a 3 year old and a 1 year old. It was a very easy walk to the bay or the beach or into town.
Spent a wonderful week in Lavallette at this beautiful house. Spacious, clean, modern, fully equipped. The owners are very nice people and a pleasure to deal with. The location was ideal. a block from the bay and 3 blocks from the beach. The welcome bottles of wine were a nice touch and tell you the quality of the people you are dealing with here. The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms modern and spacious.
I would recommend this rental to anyone who enjoys all the comforts and cleanliness of home! This rental didn't feel like an empty rental - the owners made it really feel like a home away from home. Everything you could have wanted was provided, not to mention the wonderful location to all the wonderful Lavalette amentieis. We had a great time with our whole family and looking to book again for next year!
Kathy F.
We were most pleased with this house. The owners put a lot of TLC into their home and are gracious enough to share it with others. The place was impeccable upon arrival and really felt like a home (not a rental!). Great distance to everything, especially the bay beach and playground. We made some wonderful memories!
My family and I stayed at this home this past July.. We have been renting in Lavallette for 15 + years.. By far this is THE BEST rental we have ever rented... The owners met us on the day of our arrival. They cordially showed us around their home and welcomed us to make ourselves at home..They presented us with a bottle of Red & White wine, very classy... They made themselves available should we have any questions or concerns.. The home was immaculate ,spacious with great views of the bay and the sunset. It was great for entertaining...The home had all the comforts of home and then some. Just a GREAT RENTAL.. We are hope we (my family) can arrange to rent it again next year...
I can't say enough good about this house. It's gorgeous!! It's spotless. It's spacious. Everything is beautifully new and of very good quality. The decorations are especially tasteful. The kitchen is upscale & fully equipped with enough of everything to make meals of any kind.
The bedrooms & bathrooms are beautiful. Beds are excellent. The master bathroom is a suite, with a large bathroom, walk in closet, and sitting room--again, quite wonderful.
For the beach, there are two nice kayaks (with life jackets), beach umbrellas and chairs & plenty of beach toys. We enjoyed both the beach oceanside and the beach bayside (swings & playground equipment).
It's easy to tell that this home is very much loved and attended to. We couldn't have asked for a better week's vacation for our six adults, two babies, and a four year old and highly recommend staying here.

well, i apologize to my readers or followers for not updating in a few weeks.. been a busy geek lately and trying to catch the attention of a girl at the same time! i tell ya, a full time job indeed!
this last week, one of my mac pals called me and dropped off his G5 Mac.
basically he had it looked at and found out the motherboard/logic board went bad in it. the place he went to though wanted to charge him $700 to get a new board and to put it in. so he decided to go out and buy a new board (around $500) and asked me to remove and install the new one.
the removal was going great until i got to removing the two heatsinks for the processors. there are 4 screws that are nearly impossible to get to. to get to them, you really need a long (8inch or so) screwdriver w/a very narrow shaft to get to them. however, finding such a tool can be nearly impossible.
my pal decided to try out his welding skills and we have in turn gotten one of the two heatsinks off. we'll see if his second tool gets to the final screws.
this is my biggest gripe of apple products. they work great and have great warranties; but once that warranty is up and gone, your basically screwed and are better off getting a new mac if its a mainboard/logic board issue.
if my motherboard on my windows pc goes down, i can have a new board in in prob about 25mins if i have the part..
arggg!! i like oranges much better than apples when it comes to fixing.. hehe.. :P
i'll post a full dis-assemble pics later and also the order in which i did it and also a shot of the tools we made to get to the screws.

Grandbois family mourns son's death; National concert tour in support of ALS still on
[Final Edition]
The Post - Burlington, Ont.
Abstract (Document Summary)
ALS is a rare and rapidly-progressive fatal neuromuscular disease. It degenerates nerve cells and paralyses muscles, to the point where the person can only move their eyes. Most ALS patients live about 2-5 years following diagnosis. Grandbois is entering her eighth year with ALS.
The Burlington resident, a 2004 Governor General Award winner and 2003 Halton Woman of the Year, came up with the idea to host Elizabeth's Concert of Hope after being diagnosed with ALS in 1997. She wanted to raise money for ALS patients and raise awareness of the disease. It was her hope that increasing the profile of ALS could lead to more funding for research and eventually a cure.
Nearly $2 million raised by the shows has been split evenly between the national ALS society, which funds research, and the regional ALS society that helps provide equipment and supplies for ALS patients. Some of the money created a waiting room for ALS patients at a McMaster hospital clinic.

Senate Clears Defense Authorization Bill, Sets Stage for Conference Negotiations
December 7, 2012
Government Relations Update - Defense
After five days of debate, on Tuesday evening the Senate unanimously passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013 (FY13). The Senate approved the bill by a vote of 98-0, setting the stage for what is expected to be the 52nd consecutive straight year an NDAA has been passed. The Senate adopted about three dozen more non-controversial amendments this week that were passed en bloc. The only amendment that was subject to a roll call vote this week was one offered by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), which would require DOD to conduct a report on establishing a no-fly zone in Syria. McCain's amendment was adopted by a vote of 92-6.
The differences between the Senate-passed bill and the House version of the measure, which was passed in May, will now have to be worked out during conference negotiations between the two chambers. The Senate named its conferees after passing the bill Tuesday night, and the House is expected to name its conferees early next week. Some of the differences between the House and Senate versions of the NDAA have already been resolved at the staff and Member levels, and both sides have expressed confidence that they can quickly agree to a compromise on the bill. However, the conference committee will still have a number of outstanding issues to resolve:
- Funding Levels – Conferees will need to settle on the overall funding level. The Senate funding level aligns with the Administration's FY13 budget request, while the House bill's funding level aligns with the FY13 budget resolution passed by House Republicans. Overall, the Senate bill would allocate $631.4 billion in discretionary funds for defense activities, while the House bill would provide $642.7 billion in discretionary funds. Ultimately the final bill is likely to be closer to the Administration's budget request, but it is unclear if this will be a major point of contention.
- East Coast Missile Defense Shield – The House bill includes $100 million for exploring locations for an East Coast missile defense shield; the Senate bill does not provide any such funding. There are some Senate Republicans that support the project, however, including Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), who announced her support on the floor during debate on the NDAA.
- Policy Riders – The House bill includes a provision that would ban gay marriages on military bases and would clarify that military chaplains are allowed to object to performing gay marriage ceremonies. The Senate bill contains a provision offered by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) that would allow the military to provide abortions on military bases in cases of rape and incest. Neither of these provisions are likely to make it to the final bill, but could provoke intense debate.
- Biofuels – The Senate adopted two amendments that would provide the authority to continue the Defense Department's alternative energy programs, while the House bill includes restrictions on the development and purchase of military biofuels.
- Indefinite Detention of U.S. Citizens – The Senate adopted a provision offered by Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) that would make it illegal to detain a U.S. citizen or permanent resident apprehended in the United States without charge or trial. The amendment faced some vocal opposition from Republicans in the Senate and is likely to face more of the same from House Republicans during conference negotiations.
House Democrats Announce Committee Ranking Member Positions
The House Democratic Caucus steering and policy committee controlled by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) selected its committee ranking members on Tuesday and the full Democratic Caucus ratified those selections later in the day. Subcommittee leadership positions are still undetermined. The House Ranking Members for the 113th Congress for committees of note to the defense industry are:
- Appropriations – Nita Lowey of New York
- Armed Services – Adam Smith of Washington
- Budget – Chris Van Hollen of Maryland
- Foreign Affairs – Eliot Engel of New York
- Homeland Security – Bennie Thompson of Mississippi
- Veterans' Affairs – Michael Michaud of Maine

On Monday, the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) sent a letter signed by over 100 defense industry CEO's to President Obama and Congress, urging them to find an immediate solution to the budget crisis before sequestration takes effect on January 2nd. The letter emphasizes the urgency of finding a solution and notes that there are only 28 days left to act. AIA also held a press conference Monday with four industry leaders during which it reiterated its call for an urgent solution, but did not lay out specific recommendations.
General Dunford Confirmed as Top U.S. Commander in Afghanistan
Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford was confirmed by the Senate on Monday night to take over the post as the top commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan. He replaces Army Gen. John Allen, whose nomination to be the Supreme Allied Commander Europe and Commander of the U.S. European Command is currently stalled. Gen. Dunford becomes the fifth top commander of coalition troops in Afghanistan. He previously served as the Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Next Week on Capitol Hill
Quote of the Week
"Sequestration is only a relatively small, short-term and tactical part of the greater challenge facing the country, one that can do great damage without doubt if allowed to happen. But the challenge of restoring America's long-term fiscal integrity is what we've got to focus on. And we all need to accept this reality and the implications."
David Langstaff, president and CEO of TASC Inc., at a press conference held by the Aerospace Industries Association on December 3, 2012

China's national brands are emerging as a force to be reckoned with as the country's automotive industry evolves and matures. A decade ago, their sales were negligible, their market share insignificant and their force non-existent. Not these days.

How December Could Make or Break the Trump Presidency
How December Could Make or Break the Trump Presidency
Donald Trump is unique among modern Presidents in that he has no significant legislative accomplishments to show for ten months after taking office. Year one is when Presidents usually make their mark, especially if they came into office with unified control of the government, as Trump and his party did. Presidents in the first year of their first term are often at the peak of their popularity, have the biggest margins in Congress, and are free from the scandals and intense partisanship that start to gather around them later and make governing ever more difficult. By the second year, a President's legislative agenda becomes complicated by the hesitancy of members of Congress to take risky votes as midterm elections approach, particularly if a President is unpopular. The math is stark: on average, modern Presidents have historically lost thirty House seats and four Senate seats in their first midterm elections.
Trump is governing well below the optimal levels of recent successful first-year Presidents. In 1981, Ronald Reagan's first year in office, Reagan was so personally popular that he was able to convince a Democratic-controlled Congress to pass a major tax cut. In 1993, Bill Clinton used a Democratic Congress to pass a major economic plan, the Family and Medical Leave Act, gun legislation, and NAFTA, though his signature health-care bill eventually failed. (The political cost was high: in midterm elections the following year, Clinton lost his Democratic Congress for the rest of his Presidency and was later engulfed in scandals that slowed his agenda.) In 2001, George W. Bush, who also started with a Congress controlled by his own party, passed a major tax cut and a significant rewrite of federal education policy, two pieces of legislation that came with significant support from Democrats. Barack Obama came into office, in 2009, with large Democratic majorities, high approval ratings, and a massive economic crisis, all of which he leveraged to pass the most ambitious first-year agenda of any President since Lyndon Johnson, including an enormous economic-stimulus package and major reforms of the financial regulatory system and health care. (The final version of Obamacare, after some drama, was actually signed into law in March of his second year.)
Trump's first year has been different. He has a record low approval rating. He is mired in scandal. And he, so far, has no major legislative accomplishments. He looks like a President in his eighth year rather than one in his first. All of this makes December crucial for the White House.
From now until the New Year, Congress will be jammed with legislative activity that may make or break Trump's first year in office. Most of the attention has focussed on Trump's tax-cut legislation, which is deeply unpopular according to public-opinion polls but which Republicans believe is essential to pass in order for them to have something to show for the year. But there are many other politically consequential bills that must be passed in the weeks ahead. On December 8th, the money to fund the federal government runs out. Staff members for the four top Democratic and Republican leaders have been meeting with the White House for weeks to negotiate a deal. On Tuesday, these leaders—Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, and Chuck Schumer—will meet with Trump at the White House about the issue.
Schumer and Pelosi have been maneuvering for this moment all year, and they have significant leverage. The Republican Party, despite unified control of Congress, does not have the votes to pass bills to fund the government in either the House, where many conservatives refuse to support annual appropriations bills, or the Senate, where they need sixty votes but have only fifty-two Republicans. For several years, a coalition of mostly Republican defense hawks, who want higher levels of Pentagon spending, and Democrats, who want higher levels of discretionary spending, have joined forces to provide the votes for the annual appropriations bills. Pelosi and Schumer will not deliver those Democratic votes without extracting a price from Trump and Republicans.
There are three major pieces of legislation that Democrats want: a bipartisan fix for Obamacare, a legislative fix for the Obama-era DACA program that Trump recently ended, and the extension of a popular health-care program for children—SCHIP—that recently expired.
Some liberal Democratic senators have said that they won't vote to fund the government unless the DACA fix is included, though that is not yet a Party-wide position. As for the Obamacare fix, which is known as Alexander-Murray, after the two senators who negotiated it, the current version of the G.O.P. tax-cut bill includes a repeal of Obamacare's individual mandate, which would hobble Obamacare rather than fix it. The politics for Trump are tricky. Senator Susan Collins, of Maine, a shaky vote on the tax bill, has hinted that she wants the bipartisan health-care legislation passed as the price for her vote on any tax bill that repeals the mandate. Schumer has said that passing a mandate repeal would blow up the Alexander-Murray Obamacare fix. In other words, Schumer is not going to help pass the health-care fix as a way to grease the skids for McConnell to secure Collins's vote on tax cuts. Trump is likely going to have to give ground on one or more of these Democratic priorities.
"Any Republican senator who thinks they can pass the individual mandate [repeal] and then turn around and get Murray-Alexander passed is dead wrong," Schumer said on November 15th, after McConnell added the Obamacare-mandate repeal to the Republican tax bill.
The last time Trump cut a deal with Schumer and Pelosi was in May, when the leftover spending bills from the previous year were negotiated and passed to keep the government operating through the end of the fiscal year. In fact, this was arguably the most significant piece of legislation of Trump's first year, and it was widely considered to be an enormous success for the Democrats because it included high levels of discretionary spending opposed by Trump and no funding for the border wall that he requested. Trump was so angry about the coverage that he tweeted that perhaps there needed to be a government shutdown the next time the two sides entered spending negotiations. "The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there!" Trump said in a series of tweets. "We either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good 'shutdown' ."
Tuesday's meeting at the White House between Trump and congressional leaders from both parties is meant to avoid a December 8th government shutdown. How much Republicans are willing to give Democrats may depend on the status of the G.O.P. tax bill. There are at least half a dozen G.O.P. senators with serious policy concerns regarding the tax proposal. And there are three Republican senators—John McCain and Jeff Flake, of Arizona, and Bob Corker, of Tennessee—who dislike Trump so much that they may be looking for reasons to oppose any legislation that empowers his Presidency. Republicans already have a ready-made conservative reason: the proposed tax changes will increase the deficit by $1.5 trillion.
If the tax bill is cruising through the Senate—McConnell wants a vote next week—there may be less incentive for Republicans to risk a shutdown. But if it dies next week, or is delayed, Trump will be under intense pressure to avoid ending the year with no major legislative accomplishments—and the chaos of a government shutdown. In order to keep the government running, Trump would have to strike another deal with Pelosi and Schumer and sign a bipartisan spending deal that includes major Democratic priorities.
As a result, Trump would end his first year in office with no Republican legislative accomplishments and two deals with Pelosi and Schumer that boost the Democratic agenda. If that seems likely to happen, it would enrage conservatives and the Republican base. For Trump, December could be the month that makes or breaks his first year in office.

App Review: Drop Aims to Help Users Earn Free Gift Cards
App Review: Drop Aims to Help Users Earn Free Gift Cards
A few years ago, Derrick Fung, the CEO of Drop, noticed some distinct characteristics in millennial spending habits. This tech-savvy sect, he realized, is willing to spend more money on frivolous things like expensive coffee and Uber — but they're also more likely than previous generations to switch loyalty if that means saving some money.
With that in mind, he set out to create a platform that earns credits for purchases regardless of which bank, credit card or loyalty program you belong to.
"We focus on this demographic because we believe there really was a gap in the market from a rewards perspective," Fung said. "We decided to build on top of the existing debit and credit cards because there are already too many rewards programs on the market, and we were really trying to consolidate them into one main program called Drop."
Here's how the app works and my experiences using it.
In This Post
A Bumpy Rollout
Drop is a Canadian-based company that launched in July, 2016 to users in Canada. It expanded to the United States in October of 2017 and has more than 500,000 users to date. Most recently, moments before the launch of the app in the US, Drop received over $5 million in venture capital funding. With its headquarters in Toronto, this company plans to expand outside of the US and Canada in the near future.
But there has been backlash. During its initial rollout in the US, some customers were upset that certain qualifying purchases didn't earn them points, and others were unable to redeem their points when the company froze a number of accounts from users who had quickly accumulated a large number of points. Communication from the Drop support team was also extremely poor during this time, with user queries going unanswered for days.
Drop then changed its terms and conditions to specifically exclude "repeat purchases, high-value purchases, purchases of gift cards, and purchases made for business or corporate purposes." While that may have eliminated the heaviest Drop users, the company also later increased the limitations on acquiring points by adding an earning limit of 5,000 points ($5) per week.
While at least these issues appear to have been settled, the question of privacy and security also exists when it comes to Drop. The app requires you to connect it to your credit and debit cards by providing the personal credentials you use to log into your bank accounts, something that more than a few people are uncomfortable doing. There's no way around this requirement, so while there's been no reports of security issues to date, if you're not keen on connecting your bank to a third party system, this app might not be right for you.
How It Works
Drop removes the need to have numerous brand-specific cards or accounts — all the rewards are generated in-app.
The app lets users shop for a bunch of different brands on one cohesive platform; they may earn points by simply using any debit and credit cards that are linked in the app. Drop is different from other loyalty programs in that it pushes merchants to fund the points, as opposed to typical credit card programs where the fee is paid by the merchants to accept whichever program you're participating in.
1. Download the app. Drop is available for free through iTunes and Google Play for iPhones and Androids respectively; you can also sign up through links on the company website.
2. Link Cards. After downloading and opening the app, Drop will prompt you with a screen of participating banks (all major US banks participate). From here, you can log into all banks where you hold a debit or credit card, and you can link your PayPal account as well. Drop is fully-bank encrypted and your bank login credentials are never stored on Drop's servers. The company states that the app uses security to ensure all data is securely transmitted and not susceptible to interception.
3. Select Your Favorite Brands. When you initially set up the app, you will be prompted to choose five of your favorite brands. These are the brands that you'll earn Drop points on whenever you use your linked cards. Choose carefully as you won't be able to change these five choices again — at least for now. Options include Starbucks, Uber, Seamless, Walgreens and many more well-known companies which change out periodically.
4. Earn Drop Points. The best part about Drop is that it's effortless: While you continue spending at your favorite places, you earn points that are independent of the bank loyalty program you're already participating in. Meaning, there's no interruption of your daily spending habits.
5. Redeem Limited Time Offers. There are also additional limited-time offers that you can activate. These offers come in various forms, like earning points for signing up with a company like Harry's Razors to earning points per dollar spent at places like Amazon, Whole Foods, Lululemon and dozens more retailers. (Drop uses an algorithm to tailor certain offers and rewards for users based on their spending habits.)
6. Unlock Rewards. 1,000 points = $1, so the more points you rack up, the more valuable they become. Users can unlock rewards once they've reached the value of the offers. For example, Starbucks has a $5 gift card redeemable for 5,000 points. The offers range in value and size and as of publication date, American Airlines is offering the largest reward with $100 towards your next trip, redeemable for 100,000 points. Drop users receive an email when redeeming the points, which includes a code specifically for the points redemption reward.
7. Collect Bonuses. There's a bonus tab on the app where users can get extra points by doing simple things like connecting a Facebook account or becoming an Ambassador after five of your friends sign up with your invite code. My personal favorite bonus is the Drop game, Supercharge, which is activated after you spend on any offer five times. Supercharge is basically the pre-smartphone game Snake — ensuring every millennial kid can make money the way they always wished they could.
What's Missing
I would like to see the company improve on the first five offers users choose after signing up. Users can never change these so you're locked in at these five places. But they have so many limited-time offers — from so many varying companies — that this isn't really an issue.
What's Next
In addition to expanding to the US from Canada in a little over a year after its conception, they have plans to roll out in countries like Brazil, Australia, the UK — "countries where there's this concept of cross-merchant rewards," Fung said, adding, "We're really just modernizing the traditional program which is more physical card, point-of-sale integration. We've gone directly to the consumer to get the data as opposed to relying on the merchants. We've made redemption as simple as clicking a button on the phone."
Overall Impression
Drop is the first app of its kind and offers a new spin on a loyalty program tailored for millennials and their specific spending habits. The app has changed the points system game by removing the need for another account or card. The cross-merchant aspect of this app makes it easily accessible for members to access and redeem points.
And although Drop got some well-deserved backlash regarding security and its retroactive changes to its terms and conditions and spending limit, the app is helpful for those trying to earn a little extra for spending nothing more than they would otherwise already be spending. While the 5,000 points per week limit equates to only earning $5 in gift cards per week, it's still $5 towards your next Venti latte at Starbucks or any of the qualifying merchants.
I will continue using the app because it's simple to use and doesn't require much more than downloading the app, connecting your cards and spending money. And when you want to redeem, you simply log in and redeem your reward of choice. I engage with it often — be it through activating offers, redeeming points or racking up bonus points via the Supercharge — and I find myself logging in just to check how many points I accumulated since my last login.
In essence, Drop is paving the way for a new points system and I'm looking forward to seeing how the company grows and adapts in a world where points, miles and loyalty programs are becoming the norm for spending (and earning) money.

Need a Boeing 747? Alibaba's Taobao Just Auctioned Off Two of Them
Need a Boeing 747? Alibaba's Taobao Just Auctioned Off Two of Them
China uses auction platforms to sell the assets of bankrupt firms. In this case, Taobao sold two Boeing 747s. Luke Sharrett / Bloomberg
— Dennis Schaal
You can buy almost anything on Taobao, China's biggest e-commerce platform, even a jumbo jet.
While most Chinese consumers traffic the Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. app for groceries, clothes, or the odd knickknack, SF Airlines Co. took Taobao shopping to a whole other level on Tuesday.
The Chinese carrier bid more than 320 million yuan ($48 million) for two Boeing 747 freighter planes, according to the Xinhua News Agency, which cited the seller: the Intermediate People's Court of Shenzhen City. A third plane failed to sell.
"Online auctions are a good way to handle the property of bankrupt firms," Long Guangwei, the court's vice-president, said to Xinhua. The jets originated from Jade Cargo International, the Taobao listings show.
Taobao's court auction platform is a trove of assets from cities across China, with real estate, industrial equipment and vehicles — in various states of repair — up for bids. Taobao, which translates roughly as "digging for treasure," also auctions off bad loans from Chinese companies.
Alibaba dominates e-commerce in China, with Taobao and the company's other shopping platforms accounting for more than 75 percent of online retail sales in 2015.

Review: American Express Lounge — Sydney (SYD)
Review: American Express Lounge — Sydney (SYD)
In This Post
American Express operates seven Centurion lounges in the US, and most have gotten rave reviews. Could the American Express international lounge at Sydney Airport keep up? The verdict is: Not exactly, but it's still worth a visit.
The lounge is easy to find, with signs throughout the terminal, an icon on the digital map kiosks and a huge billboard perched over the security lines. It would have been impossible to get to my gate without seeing it.
Fortunately, I saw another sign before the security line that led to an unexpected bonus. Express Path — an expedited security screening line — is available to cardholders of The Platinum Card from American Express. I showed my card to the uniformed worker next to the sign and breezed through to the shortest queue in the terminal.
A sign at the lounge's front counter lists the 15 different American Express cards that allow entry, 11 of which are exclusive to Australia. US-based travelers can access this lounge with The Platinum Card from American Express, The Business Platinum Card from American Express OPEN and the Amex Centurion card.
Check-In and Layout
After showing my Platinum card along with our boarding passes to the attendant, my guest and I were quickly on our way in. The layout of the lounge is a long rectangular room, with tall tables and stools in the center and seating areas to the sides. At the other end are the food and beverage options.
A lone TV (thankfully on mute during a Cops-style show) hangs on a side wall. Toward the front are monitors with flight information, as flight departures are not announced by the staff.
One side of the seating areas features framed photos of American Express's long history. The other provides a close-up view of various aircraft at their gates. While tastefully appointed, the narrow room did feel cramped. The chairs were mostly roomy, but the tables tiny; and as more and more passengers entered prior to their evening flights, the room filled with a constant low din. The crowds also put pressure on the wait for the bathrooms, which while roomy, were a one-at-a-time operation.
Electrical outlets were plentiful, though a little tricky to access along the floor. The free Wi-Fi clocked in at pleasantly fast speeds of 26.31/36.37 Mbps.
Unlike the Centurion lounges I had visited, here there were no showers, massages or chaise longues.
Food and Beverage
My guest and I have almost exact opposite diets (she vegetarian and fish, and me meat and no fish) and both found plenty to snack on — snacks, not the full chef-inspired meal you get at a Centurion lounge.
All the prepared foods were more banquet quality than restaurant quality, but the disappointment was tempered by the variety and quantity of cold options.
Whether you wanted to make a sandwich, assemble a salad, sample whole fresh fruit or stack up on cheese and crackers, you could find it here.
The beverage offerings showed a little more creativity and flair, with regional wines (including a delicious sparkling wine) offered up alongside draft beer, quality liquors and the usual soft drinks. All was complimentary, the downside being that aside from the soft drinks, every item had to be served by the lone bartender.
A custom coffee bar was a nice touch as well.
Overall Impression
The condition of the lounge was excellent, and the service was attentive, with used glasses and dishes whisked away quickly. Food seemed to be replenished regularly, and the staff was all polite and professional.
I would visit the American Express Lounge at Sydney Airport again, but I would first check out other lounges there to see who might provide a more relaxed and luxurious experience.

Step Inside the SR-71 Blackbird's Cockpit With a Veteran Pilot
Step Inside the SR-71 Blackbird's Cockpit With a Veteran Pilot
The SR-71 Blackbird is an icon of the Cold War. The supersonic spyplane was seen as an aircraft that the Soviets couldn't match — a symbol of American prowess.
It's also an AvGeek's dream — the SR-71 has a huge amount of extra equipment that isn't found on a normal passenger jet. The plane, first introduced into service in 1966, would fly at 80,000 feet and supersonic speeds to avoid detection by the enemy.
The Warzone unearthed some old videos of veteran Blackbird pilot Richard Graham giving an in-depth tour of the spy plane's dual cockpits. Filmed by by aviation videographer Erik Johnston, Graham goes into extensive detail about the hundreds of controls, dials, gauges, switches and screens that he had access to as the pilot.
About 14 minutes into the video, Graham shifts back to where the surveillance equipment is located, which is actually a completely separate area from the forward cockpit. Interestingly enough, the two cockpits weren't connected, so Graham and his navigator had to receive physicals before every flight to ensure they had a clean bill of health — if one of them had problems, neither would have full control of the aircraft.
Graham goes into even more detail about the massive J-58 engines built by Pratt & Whitney:
And if you really want to go deep, the pilot gives an hour-long interview reciting the aircraft's history and some of his experiences at the helm of the legendary aircraft.

Taxi Drones Could Take Flight in Dubai in 2018
Taxi Drones Could Take Flight in Dubai in 2018

— Dennis Schaal
A Chinese startup has developed a flying car that it plans to roll out as soon as next year.
EHang Inc.'s E-184 drone can carry one passenger in its small cockpit, but the firm says it's working on a model that can carry two. EHang's Chief Executive Officer Hu Huazhi says they'll be in operation as "taxi drones" in Dubai in 2018 — as long as they get approval from regulators there.
Four battery-powered propellers lift the drone off the ground, and it's equipped with fully-automated navigation, according to CEO Hu. Passengers select a pre-programmed flight path and then strap in for the ride. The E-184 has a cruising speed of up to 100 kilometers (62 miles) an hour and can stay in the air for 25 minutes, the company says.
It's currently being tested at EHang's headquarters: a disused theme-park on the outskirts of Guangzhou, southern China, a city that's at the vanguard of the country's push to move away from cheap, low-end manufacturing and toward cutting-edge technology.
"We will start mass production of our passenger drones at the beginning of next year," Hu told Bloomberg TV. "We also plan to install fully automated production lines to enlarge manufacturing capacity in 2018."
EHang has big ambitions — it wants to develop a network of taxi drones around the world. The company plans to sign deals in Saudi Arabia, Singapore and "several European cites" next year, the CEO said.

Deal Alert: Flights to Hawaii From $336 Round-Trip
Deal Alert: Flights to Hawaii From $336 Round-Trip
Want to see the latest flight deals as soon as they're published? Follow The Points Guy on Facebook and Twitter, and subscribe to text message alerts from our deals feed, @tpg_alerts.
Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you're using the American Express Platinum Card, you'll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia's courtesy cancellation if you're unable to get the time away from work or family.
This Black Friday, Hawaiian Airlines is advertising flights to Hawaii from $357 round-trip. That's pretty good, but we found even more competitive fares starting at just $336 round-trip from west coast cities to the 50th state. Meaning, a slew of other airlines have matched these deals: Six airlines are offering round-trip fares from six west coast departure airports to four Hawaii airports for under $370 round-trip — and these probably aren't the only deals out there.
Available dates for under $400 round-trip fare are available for departures from this Sunday through mid-May. We recommend using Google Flights to search for deals from your airport. If you aren't set on a particular Hawaiian island, enter "Hawaii, United States" in Google Flights to explore a variety of destinations.
Airlines: Hawaiian, Virgin America, Alaska, American, Delta, United
Routes: SJC/OAK/LAX/SFO/PDX/DEN to OGG/HNL/LIH/KOA
Cost: $336+ round-trip in economy
Dates: late November 2017 to mid-May 2018
Booking Link: Orbitz or Expedia
Pay With: The Platinum Card from American Express (5x on airfare), Chase Sapphire Reserve, Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express, Citi Prestige (3x on airfare) or Chase Sapphire Preferred (2x on travel)
Here are a few examples of what you can book:
San Jose (SJC) to Honolulu (HNL) for $336 round-trip with Hawaiian:
Oakland (OAK) to Kahului (OGG) for $336 round-trip with Hawaiian:
Los Angeles (LAX) to Honolulu (HNL) for $356 round-trip on American:

How sociability and trust impact on welfare attitudes. A cross-european analysis (English version)
The bulk of the literature investigating the connection between social capital and the welfare state explores the impact of the latter one on various manifestations of the first one. The tested assumption is therefore usually related to the effects of the institutional arrangements on the existing resources. Our paper proposes a different approach, focusing on the effects of four social capital indicators on very general attitudes towards the welfare state. Using multilevel models, we show that the less formalized manifestations of social capital are negatively related to the support for a broader welfare state, while for the more formal ones the opposite holds true. Considering the relations between the welfare culture and the shape of the welfare state (as described in the literature), and our findings, we conclude that the institutional arrangements represent both a factor which models social capital, as well as a consequence of the latter one.

On February 8, the Alley Theatre presents Syncing Ink, a semi-au- tobiographical play by NSangou Njikam that leads audiences on a mystical, lyrical Hip Hop ride to discover what it really takes to freestyle. Tickets are on sale now at www.alleytheatre.org or by calling the Box Office at 713.220.5700.
"Now what you hear is not a test/I'm rapping to the beat!" In Syncing Ink, Gordon wants to learn how to rap, thinking it will gain him respect, admiration and the attention of a beautiful woman. What he doesn't know is that his journey to learn how to rhyme will take him not just deeper into Hip Hop, but deeper into his legacy and his purpose. Syncing Ink is directed by Niegel Smith, Artistic Director of New York's Flea Theater.
Njikam's Syncing Ink was first seen at the Alley in a workshop performance in the Alley All New Festival last year, and it is the first play to receive a full production at the Alley since the launch of the Alley All New initiative. The Alley All New Festival is one component of Alley All New, a major new work initiative that expands the Alley's commitment to playwrights and to produce more world premieres.

"I assist fellow business owners in the pursuit of their dreams of running successful and profitable businesses," she says.

Not enough free space?
My laptop is a Dell L702x (XPS). I had to start all over because of a file permission issue. I have the factory installation disc with Win 7 Pro 64. When I get to the stage where I select the drive to install on, I always get an error telling me the installation cannot proceed because the selected drive does not have enough free space. I have formatted the drives. No help. I have deleted the partitions and allocated them again. No help, same error. One drive is a 250GB SSD and the other is a 500 GB HDD. I cannot install Windows. Now what?
|My System Specs
|19 Feb 2014
I figured it out. There was an extra partition on each drive. Each was small (~100 MB). I deleted both of those partitions and then reallocated the space on each drive and now Windows is installing.

You said you deleted all the partitions ?
Glad you got it going though
|My System Specs
|19 Feb 2014
I didn't think a 100 MB partition would prevent Windows from installing on a 250 GB drive. It was the remaining partition that I formatted and then deleted and reallocated once again.
