Now's the Time to Finally Learn a New Language
You can do this! And if you use the right apps and programs, it'll be easier than ever before.
Step No. 1: Start With the Basics
Before you can form sentences, you're going to need to get acquainted with some basic vocabulary. If you've decided to learn a language in preparation for an upcoming trip, it's best to focus on phrases that might actually be of use when navigating a foreign country. Chances are, "¿Hablas íngles?" will come in handy more often than "¿Donde está la biblioteca?"
The Helpers
Tinycards: When you need to memorize something, there's nothing quite like a good set of flash cards. This free app offers flash card decks for studying vocabulary in more than 20 languages, so you can find just the words you're looking for.
Drops: Got five minutes to spare every day? Then you have time for Drops. The app (available in five languages) adds a little fun to the process of learning vocabulary, providing a game-like setting in which you advance by connecting words with the correct corresponding images.
Step No. 2: Throw in Some Grammar
Once you've got a grip on some key words and phrases, you can start to piece those words together into simple sentences, and that means it's time to start getting into verb conjugation. When you're first learning a new language, keep it simple and stick to nailing the present tense—a little later down the road, you can start adding in the past, future, and subjunctive.
The Helper
Duolingo: This addictive, user-friendly app walks readers through various exercises involving repetition, listening, translation, and writing. Here, you can start putting together sentences while picking up plenty of new vocabulary along the way.
Step No. 3: Speak Up
If, by the middle of the year (or even the end of the month), you've stuck with your vow to learn a new language, you might decide it's time to make an investment in your studies. With the right language-learning software, you can find more thorough lessons, and start to practice speaking aloud. With enough practice, you can even become close to fluent.
The Helpers
Babbel: For $13 a month, Babbel's lessons offer in-depth explanations of grammar conjugations, pronunciation courses, and exercises for both listening and speaking.
Rosetta Stone, $149: One of the most renowned language-learning softwares, Rosetta Stone takes an immersive approach to teaching. Instead of asking its users to translate from their native language into the one they are learning, it relies on image-based content to connect vocabulary to concepts and objects. They also offer additional live tutoring sessions, to supplement the software's offerings.
Step No. 4: Immerse Yourself
The best way to learn a language is to surround yourself with it: Listen to music and podcasts in the language of your choice; watch movies; read books and newspapers. Keep it up, and you just might have a compelling excuse to travel the world—or, you'll at least be able to enjoy a foreign flick without reading the subtitles the whole time.

your other family member's opinions when naming your children?
I don't.... I see it as being my child (well, and DH's too) and we can name our children what we want. Our parents had the chance to name us what they wanted, now its our turn!! If DH and I like it, thats all that matters!
Nope. Its up to my dh and I. I may listen to family, but we ultimatly make the decision.
Not really. In fact I haven't told anyone my choices for this baby. Only once I have decided against a name have I shared it :) If a name is still in the running I don't want to hear anything negative about it.
Definitely not . We see her as ours and only ours .
It wouldn't have mattered what anyone thought of the names we chose .. because she is our child and we were going to name her whatever WE wanted .
Maybe a little I ask my sis and mom what they think of the names that we are considering but in the end it is our descision.
My mil was constantly trying to influence my descision ugh she drives me nuts she would actually say I think if you have a boy you should name him John Monroe or she really wanted us to use her maiden name Roby she is such a pain. I told her point blank that she had her chance now it is mine :angry2:
In the beginning I did ask for opinions...but when I finally chose a name I didn't tell any family or friends because I didn't want anything negative to be said about it.
Kind of, it depends how much they bug me about a certain name.
My boyfriend's mother wanted us to name her Blessing Jacklynn.. Jacklynn is my middle name.
But, there was no way I was going for that. I asked my sister, but mainly more for her opinion, but it wouldn't affect our decision at all.
I think family influences my opinion a little, especially my mom, me and her are super close and I really look up to her for her aprovel of everything I do lol.. I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ask her opinion and her advice, I dont think id really care what anyone else thought other than my mom..

Enterprise IT organizations including; Infrastructure and Operations, Security, and Application Development, are attempting to achieve some control in the rapidly evolving mobile environment.
Data protection as well as identity and privacy concerns will shift IT Security focus from device level MDM to more broadly cover MAM (mobile application management) and MEM (mobile enterprise management). Mobile-cloud, as-a-service, mobile virtualization and HTML5 advances in the next year will provide additional options and challenges for enterprise IT.
Enterprises must manage the implications of increasing remote access to company resources. Companies will continue to invest in wireless, virtualization, and cloud computing technologies and services as well as have an increased focus on security of mobile devices and mobile applications.

text: Remember how in the original Borderlandsthe combat felt stiff and repetitive? Enemy AI was predictable, andmost could be dealt with by simply chewing away at their health with whatever gun you happened to have equipped at that particular moment. Well, in Borderlands 2, it's a completely different story. Enemies are now smart and vicious and have some fiendishly clever tricks up their sleeves to force you to play tactically. This makes the co-operative experience - which is, let's be honest, the main reason to play Borderlands - even more rewarding. "We call it the AI ecosystem," says Gearbox Software's Steve Gibson. "The idea is that not only are enemies more reactive and more aggressive, but they can co-operate." We see this frightening prospect in action during our hands-on. We're fighting a pack of Skags, the feral dog-like creatures from the original game. Only this time they've become trickier to negotiate, tougher to bring down. One special breed of Skag has the ability to rally its weaker companions, which sets them on fire and makes them just that bit more dangerous. "This is just one example of the AI working together," says Gibson. "In battle, you now have to prioritise more than just who's closest to you. We want all the combat to feel richer and more tactical." FIVE STAR There are five character classes in total: four brand new (and one returning class), with familiar faces from the previous game serving as quest-givers. First up we have the Siren, Maya. The first game's Siren, Lilith could use the Phase Walk ability to turn invisible and sneak up on enemies; Maya's power is the Phase Lock. "She can grab an enemy and trap them in a floating bubble," says Gibson. "This can be upgraded too. The Routing add-on, for example, will freeze any enemies near your bubble." Then there's the Assassin, which is a stealth class. "He's good at finding critical points on enemies, and can create a copy of himself to distract his foes," Gibson tells us. "The Gunzerker is self-explanatory. He can dual-wield weapons and blow stuff up twice as fast." This is the class we played in our hands-on. Dual-wield power only lasts a few seconds (you can increase this with upgrades), and places another weapon in your left hand, doubling damage. Whenever we found ourselves backed into a corner, activating it would gave us the extra punch to fight our way out. Finally, there's the Commando. "He's an evolution of the Soldier from the first game. He has a turret he can deploy, which has a lot of really cool upgrades. You can place multiple turrets, or unlock the Longbow turret, which can be placed anywhere in the world, even if it's out of reach." Hang on, didn't we say five new classes? The fifth is the Mechromancer. Part pigtailed girl, part mech her special ability is control over a huge robot called Deathtrap. The catch? She's only available as day one DLC. The new classes have been designed to interact with each other. "Through upgrades the Siren can actually remotely resurrect another player, even if they're way across the map," Gibson explains. SHOOT IT YOU SLAG Adding yet another layer of tactics to combat is a new element - the unfortunately named slag. A weapon infused with this unseemly purple gunk will reduce an enemy's stats, making them weaker. "This works well for the Gunzerker. If you're dual-wielding a weapon with slag, and maybe a weapon with the lightning element, you're really going to do some damage. The idea behind including this was to reward the role-playing guys; the guys who think about all the stats and number-crunching." The hour we spent with the game was impressive. The combat feels much more dynamic, and missions have branching paths and unpredictable structures - a far cry from the fetch and carry quests of the original. Guns are also more satisfying to use, with enemies reacting to every shot in a far more readable way. Gibson also assures us that Gearbox are making the game friendlier for solo players, with a more involving story. Borderlands 2 is a radical improvement over its predecessor, and feels like the game the great, but flawed original threatened to be.

Buckingham Palace Tours
Visit Buckingham Palace and watch the Changing Of The Guard Ceremony
Live like royalty as you join a Buckingham Palace tour.
When can I visit Buckingham Palace?
Visits to Buckingham Palace's State Rooms are available in the summer – in 2017 this is from 22nd July to 1st October inclusive. Visits may also be available on a limited basis during select weeks in the Winter.
During the summer opening, visitors are provided with a multimedia guide as they tour Buckingham Palace, its State Rooms. Guests may also visit the Buckingham Palace gardens.
How much does it cost to visit Buckingham Palace?
The cost to visit Buckingham Palace in 2017 currently stands at £23 for adults, £21 for seniors and students and £13 for children (under 17) and disabled visitors. Under 5s do not pay to enter. For the garden highlights tour add an extra £6.50 to £8.50 per person.
Can we visit Buckingham Palace with a tour guide?
No external tour guides are permitted inside Buckingham Palace, so visits are self-guided or with a Buckingham Palace guide. Buckingham Palace tours usually take about 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes for the full experience.
During most of the year, you can enjoy the Changing the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. There is no cost to attend this ceremony and our guides can include it in your tour of London, securing you the best position – this is an must-see event.
Changing The Guard At Buckingham Palace
The Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace is one of the most famous ceremonies anywhere in the world. We allow you to join in the experience with a unique Changing the Guard walking tour. This experience is also included in our London small group walking tour.
Not many countries have a monarchy or a military ceremony that takes place with dozena of guards, a marching band and enough pride to fill your heart with joy.
The wrong way to see Buckingham Palace Changing of the Guard is to turn up at 11:00 when the ceremony starts and think you can watch everything. The ceremony is very popular with 10,000s of people attending every time it is on.
Buckingham Palace Changing of the Guard Times and Dates:
One of the most common questions we get asked is "What time is changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace?". The answer is: "It depends". During most of the year (August to March) the ceremony takes place on set days, during the height of the summer (April to July) the ceremony takes place daily.
If there is heavy rain, the ceremony does not take place. It can also be impacted by major events such as marathons or races.
The Changing of the Guard schedule and timetable dictates that the guards reach Buckingham Palace at 11:00am precisely. From there it will last about 45 minutes. Please note that these times are new since early 2017 - the Guard Change previously took place later in the day.
As the schedule for Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace changes so regularly, and it is not publicly released too far in advance we provide the following information to help you – not this is provisional and may change.
January, February, March and April 2017 - Every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday (no change on 23rd April - on 22nd April instead)
May 2017 onwards - To be confirmed
The best way to see the event is, of course, with our Changing of the Guard tour. As part of your private, guided experience we will take you to a little-known spot where you can see the Guards preparing for their change. Your Changing the Guard walking tour uses your guide's knowledge to beat the crowds at Buckingham Palace and see much more than the hoards of visitors wondering where to stand to get a good view. Let your Private London tours guide do the work for you with our Changing the Guard tours option. With us you can even march with the guards to the palace, have fun and make the best use of your time. This ceremony is also included in our magnificent London small group walking tour.
Many people also call this ceremony the 'Changing of the Guard', or the 'Guard Change' - all these terms are used interchangeably.

What Can Distribution Center and Warehouse Managers Expect in 2013
Doing more with less remains a common theme, but time is ripe for new investment.
They see 2013 as a mixed year. The economy is improving and unemployment has fallen below 8 percent, yet the outlook remains uncertain enough that companies are reluctant to start spending heavily.
Still, with American businesses sitting on $2 trillion in cash, it could be the perfect time to ask for upgrades to your WMS system, automated material handling and storage equipment, and other warehouse technology. Just be sure you can make a case for the cost savings that will be reaped by any new investments. In fact, warehouse technology has already begun to show signs of a rebound.
A recent survey by the Materials Handling Industry Association found that 74 percent of manufacturing and distribution operations are planning or pondering an automation investment.

Now that Trump has officially stated that he plans to create a wall on the Unites States and Mexico border, many people are beginning to worry. While some people believe that the wall is going to help keep out illegal immigrants and slow down the drug trade, others are more convinced that it will do absolutely nothing but hurt our economy.
Why I Believe the Wall Will Help the United States
Now, I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert on politics, but I'm actually somewhat convinced this wall will help us out. I don't know if you've ever been to the southern part of California before, but if you have then I'm sure you've seen firsthand the amount of violence that illegal immigration has attracted there.
I truthfully believe that if we were to put up a wall on our border we would be able to drastically slow down the amount of drugs coming into our economy. And of course, if less people are getting hooked on drugs and sending all of our money to the pockets of El Chapo (yes I know he was finally extradited) then our economy will begin to rise once again.
Why I Believe the Wall Will Hurt the United States
Unfortunately, building a giant wall on the Mexico border isn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows. Over the years I've met many illegal Mexican families living in our country who are very nice and hardworking people. And I have to admit that if this wall gets built I'm afraid that Donald Trump may try to deport many of the families already living here and I just don't believe that is right.
Sure, I don't mind if we deport all of the people who aren't working and getting into gang violence, but other than that I think the families already living here should just be left alone. You can stop future illegal immigrants from coming into our country all you want, but that's it. Leave the families alone.

Midlands rivals chase Barker
Nottingham Forest and Derby County are battling it out to sign Blackpool defender Shaun Barker.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 23/06/09 5:51pm
Nottingham Forest and Derby County are battling it out to sign Blackpool defender Shaun Barker.
The East Midlands rivals have both seen offers of around £750,000 knocked back by the Tangerines in recent weeks.
They have been informed that it will take a seven-figure approach to lure Barker away from Bloomfield Road.
Forest are keen to bolster their defensive options after releasing Ian Breckin at the end of last season, and have also identified Doncaster's Matt Mills as a top target.
Derby may hold the upper hand in any dealings with Blackpool, though, as they could be prepared to offer Liam Dickinson - who enjoyed a productive loan spell with Tangerines last season - as a makeweight in any potential agreement.
However, for now neither side is making any headway with their advances, as Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is reluctant to do business with the current terms on the table.
"Shaun has a three-year contract and he won't be going anywhere unless we want him to," said Holloway.
"He shouldn't have signed that contract if he wanted to move on. It is as simple as that."

User talk:RogerR
Hello RogerR! Welcome to Wikitravel.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.
Thanks for your edits on Barbuda. If I can help in any way, please leave a message on my talk page. -- OldPine 12:18, 30 December 2007 (EST)
Codrington should get any listings that apply to there. Generally speaking the region articles do not get Eat and Sleep listings unless there is nowhere else to put them. Also, please see Wikitravel:External links, as non-primary links are generally not allowed, only the facility's own website. -- OldPine 12:37, 30 December 2007 (EST)
Wikitravel:Article status[edit]
With one exception (the empty "Get out" section), it's definitely a guide level article. "Get out" should have information on "next destinations" like Anegada and Tortola. (And maybe even some other smaller, uninhabited islands for diving/snorkeling that I'm unaware of, although these might better be included in the see/do sections.) Here's an example of what a small get out section should look like.
The only things that stand out that would bar it from being a star, are perhaps slightly more specific directions to each listed restaurant/bar/hotel (since there are no addresses on the island), and maybe a brief subsection of "Get around" for byciclists—aren't there bike rentals on the island? That and a tourist map, which I might be able to throw together at some point—I've always been interested in doing a small island map. --Peter Talk 20:08, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
Virgin Gorda map[edit]
Hey Roger, I put together a map of Virgin Gorda, but I had to guess for some of the restaurant and bar locations. Would you mind taking a look at it to make sure there aren't any glaring errors. --Peter Talk 20:52, 20 June 2008 (EDT)

During the first week, we want to visit Hiroshima, Osaka and Kyoto plus maybe 1 day trip before taking the train to Tokyo late on the 21st or early on the 22nd as we have tickets for the sumo tournament in Tokyo that day! We then leave on the 27th at night from Narita. Probably 1 day trip to Fuji or elsewhere this forum would recommend.
What would be our strategy for the JRP? Pay separately to go from KIX to Osaka, stay 1 day, then activate the pass for Kyoto, Hiroshima, day trip (Nara?) and Tokyo? Would a 2 week pass be worth it to include a day trip from Tokyo and to reach Narita?
Your advice is appreciated.
A one week JR Pass would pay off and make the most sense. If you want to go to Tokyo on the 21st then you can start using your pass from the 15th. If you go to Tokyo on the 22nd, then activate your pass on the 16th. A 2 week pass though would not pay off, unless you added to your travels, like Himeji near Kyoto and NIkko, north of Tokyo. But as far as value goes, a 7 day pass works best.

This groundbreaking, Emmy award-winning show debuted on NBC on Monday evenings at 8:00 p.m. and ran until March 12, 1973. Hosted by the dashing duo, Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, the show made no apologies when it poked fun at any and all targets with comedy guests as stunning as some of the stars: Burbank's Mayor Compton, Pat Morita, Regis Philbin, Dinah Shore, Milton Berle, Flip Wilson, Bobby Vaughn, Tim Conway, John Wayne, Peter Lawford, Jerry Lewis, Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon, Jill St. John, Ken Berry, Tom Smothers, Walter Slezak, Richard Dawson, Connie Stevens, Sonny Bono and Cher, Jerry Lewis, little Anissa Jones, Joey Bishop, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Don Adams and Barbara Feldon, Sally Field, Harry Belafonte, Lorne Greene, Robert Culp, Hugh Downs, Leo G. Carroll, Muriel Landers, Willie Mays, Buddy Hackett, and so many more -- and who could ever forget the dynamic Sammy Davis Jr. introducing "Here Comes the Judge." Dan Rowan and Dick Martin introduced acts featuring their regular performers Henry Gibson, Roddy Maude-Roxby, Larry Hovis, Arte Johnson, and announcer Gary Owens, with female regulars Judy Carne, Eileen Brennan, Ruth Buzzi, Goldie Hawn, and JoAnne Worley. Other performers for this initial season included the Bee Gees, the First Edition, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Temptations, The Curtain Calls, The Strawberry Alarm Clock, and Tiny Tim performing as "New Talent" in the first and last episodes.
Time Life has now launched Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In: The Complete First Season with its hysterical classic bits and pieces, beginning with the fashionable Cocktail Party with the "in-crowd" dancing away and commenting on the craziest of topics just to get you in the mood for what was to come. Arte Johnson as the man from India prophesying he "who soweth his oats in the garden of his neighbor, perhaps he has not a pot to plant in." You'll see mini and evening dresses, Nehru suits, and even shots of graffiti body-painted bikini dancers like Judy Carne and Goldie Hawn with a comment like "Pimples are wasted on the young." You'll get a peek of Arte Johnson as a WWII German Soldier while he hides secretly away, commenting "Very Interesting." Some of the shorts you might see will be Tim Conway as a pole vaulter, a 106-year-old man, and "The Great Nervo," JoAnne Worley singing short songs, and romantic Ruth Buzzi trying to catch Dick's eye.
Laugh-In's New Talent Time might feature Tiny Tim with his weird classic "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" ukulele melody, or Paul Winchell performing as a ventriloquist with his dummy. News of the Day would give headliners from the past, present, and future where you'd be most likely to read "Peace Breaks Out in Vietnam," and in the Bobby Kennedy family, "Ethel's not expecting." Classified Ads and Mod Mod World might feature commentary on money, advertising, or censorship. And, of course, the show wouldn't be complete without Judy's reluctant "Sock It To Me" skit, and JoAnne's Short Song might declare that there's "No More Money in the Bank," to round out the show as it closed with that rapid-fire comedy from the Joke Wall where the faces of guests and stars would pop-up with note-worthy comments throughout the show and end it with hilarious jokes and quips.
All-in-all, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In: The Complete First Season is great fun and entertainment for the entire family perhaps a little risque for some, but from a time when this show was what was "happening." There are four discs with 14 episodes of hilarity and side-splitting laughter. Bonus features include the Laugh-In Pilot with the original date being September 9, 1967, showing some of the New Talent with Ruth Buzzi performing a song about Lady Bird and the Audubon Society and JoAnne Worleys song with a hand-puppet.
This feature also showcases some of the shorts with the Weatherette girls giving their rendition of the weather report, Henry Gibson performing some poems, the ever-changing door, and Dan and Dick reporting the News. There's an in-depth interview with Creator and Executive Producer George Schlatter explaining the origin of the series and particular aspects of the show such as "Here Comes the Judge" and "Sock It To Me Time." There's an interesting question and answer format from the audience during Laugh-In's 25th Anniversary Cast Reunion; and the Bonus feature is rounded-out with the ever-funny Laugh-In Bloopers.
Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In: The Complete First Season is a very comprehensive collection of one of America's iconic shows and would be a great addition to anyone's library. Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In: The Complete First Season is geared toward an older crowd or enthusiasts seeking nostalgic shows from days gone by. I was extremely anxious to receive this product for review, and even though I found the entertainment top-notch, after several episodes, it did become a little monotonous. However, my adult son found the show fascinating, and, in some respects, thought that some of the content amazingly mirrored what's happening today.

…but joy comes with the morning.
you make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forever more.
for the righteous man will never be moved…he is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord…
Last night, I drove in the wee hours of the morning, through the pouring rain, to board a plane to Oklahoma where my dad has been in the ICU for the past week. As I drove, I reflected on the gripping reality that I could be saying goodbye to my dad. I am hopeful and trusting in the Lord for his full recovery, but I still had to grapple with the possibility that this could be it. While acknowledging the total and perfect sovereignty of God in my life and my dad's health, and resting in the peace that this brings, I still found myself weeping and challenging God that this can't be it; that he can't take my dad yet, that there are still too many things that my dad has to do with his life before the Lord can take him: walk me down the aisle, hold the children I may have one day.
It was then then that I realized how my love for this world and the things of this world is still so ingrained in my heart and mind that all I could feel was worldly grief, and my sorrow overshadowed my desire for the glory of God.
But God, being rich in mercy, yet again brought me to the cross. In the cross is this astoundingly beautiful reality of true joy in the midst of suffering. For in the cross of Christ, we are presented with this depiction of worldly grief and sorrow, that the King of the Jews, the Appointed Messiah, was struck down; that darkness reigns, evil has triumphed. But we know that this is not true because God's word is never in error, and the Word of God became flesh in Christ, and Christ triumphed over evil on the third day when he overcame the grave.
And this, the gospel, is the Christian's joy in suffering. See, I have always been apt to pay lip service and mental assent to James 1, to count it all joy in suffering, without really coming to grips with what that really means. But the gospel shows us the even in the depths of our despair, when we are weeping in our sorrow, we have joy in the fact – not in the feeling, but the fact – that God's word never fails and this is fully realized in Christ.
So, I am reminded of beautiful promises from scripture that encourage me to be strong, that at His hand are pleasures forevermore and in Him there is fullness of joy; that strength and dignity are my clothing and I don't dread the days to come because I am planted firm in the Lord.
This is my joy. The cross is my joy. Christ is my joy.

An impact assessment of EU's CAP income stabilisation payments
To help farmers cope with increased income volatility, the EU may be introducing a farm income stabilisation payment in the post-2013 CAP. This payment would generally cover dramatic risk exceptionally leading to more than 30 per cent of income losses. This paper applies a model for a risk-averse farm producer facing output price, yield and policy uncertainty, to examine the impacts of the potential implementation of such payments in French crop specialist farms. The proposed scheme reduces farm income volatility, after 5 and 10 years, respectively by 2.08% and 1.19%. Interestingly, the proposed scheme reduces volatility in farm investments by about 11.45% after 5 years.

text: So if you're not aware of it, MOG just came out with some Android goodness, which you can find out about (and sign up for a free trial of) here: MOG's Streaming Music Service Launches Ground-Breaking Mobile Apps Now I'm not big on a monthly fee for this kind of thing, but I was curious so I decided to give it a whack. If I like it, I might go for it. If not, no loss, right? So I downloaded it and went for it. First off, the interface is stellar. I mean that. It may be the best interface of any of the various radio apps out there. Better than Last, Slacker, Pandora, or Sirius. Open 'er up and you're greeted with a friendly, well-laid-out screen that makes it pretty obvious what's what. (note: the Kalmah background is because that's what I searched for) Pick anything and you get a simple list of what's new, what's popular, or "featured" picks which I assume are selected by the Mog staff. Album art loads swiftly, information is full and accurate, and I have to admit, the selection seemed pretty good. Of course, that's just based on all the popular stuff. One thing I do is pick an artist that's fairly well known but not ridiculously obscure to see what they've got. Today's selection was Kalmah (as per the above screen), and I selected "Kalmah radio" after going through the intuitive search interface. The selection was actually surprising, it did indeed look like everything was there. One thing that separates this from things like Pandora or Last is that if you pick "[Artist] Radio", it's ONLY that artist. Similar artists are a separate link and you can't simply say "give me everything that sounds like this". But I have to admit, Mog had TONS of artists. In this respect, Mog whipped the CRAP out of Last and Pandora. I put in something like "Kalmah Radio" into Pandora and within four songs I'm getting Tool and Pantera. Last does better, but not by much. Mog? Well take a look for yourself. Mog did something most streaming radio fails at: giving me NEW stuff. I was really surprised. Playlists are kind of a pain, because you have to build them manually it seems. There's no "set it and forget it" a la Pandora or Last.FM, if you don't want to listen to one artist, you can do one of two things. You can either start building, or search other playlists. If you do the latter, you once again can't search by genre, so pick an artist you like and start from there. I was impressed by the number of playlists, found a few that looked interesting, and browsed. As before, Mog delivered: Okay, fine, but there's one hook: you can't just hit "play" and start streaming. It insists on DOWNLOADING everything you find via a playlist, and THEN it'll play. Thus far I have yet to find a way to simply stream playlists. Mog devs: it takes a bit of time to download songs over a 3G connection, longer than I want to wait. Just let me play. Fortunately, once the first song is downloaded, you start listening, and generally speaking the 2nd song will be done by the time the first song finishes playing. Still, it's an annoyance. I don't want to store anything on my phone, I just want to stream. The actual play screen is pretty good, too, with basic info and the ability to branch into similar artists and such. Nothing too fancy. Okay, but what about the sound? Well, it sounds pretty dang good. Won't blow you away, we're not talking lossless, but it's a damn sight better than Last.FM, and probably on par with Pandora. So, overall, I give it 4 horns outta 5. Check it out.

A case study of network neutrality in Korea
This study investigates the network neutrality issue in Korea by focusing on the debates among the stakeholders. It examines the dynamic discussions of the issues by identifying how diverse groups of stakeholders are affected by various actions taken by the emergence of network neutrality. It also presents a quantitative analysis that reveals the factors implicated in the net neutrality debate and statistically significant differences among individuals on opposite sides of the debate. A qualitative analysis reveals insights into the connection between specific factors and positions in the net neutrality debate. The findings show that the issue of net neutrality is not only complicated, but also as complex as the parties' diverse interests. The paper concludes that a careful combination of government intervention and market forces is an effective way to govern net neutrality.

Hi friends and welcome back for another Thursday challenge Create With Connie and Mary. Today we have a color challenge for you. They're the perfect colors for making an autumn project or Halloween project with the rich and vibrant colors.
I went along with a clean and simple autumn project that has my usual texture and dimension. It's difficult to tell in the background but on my Whisper White card stock, I used the Perfect Details Texturz Plate. It's exactly what the card needed to take away the stark white look and add some subtle texture while keeping my focal point. My edgelit was cut with Rich Razzleberry textured card stock which also lends itself to additional subtle texture. I stamped the script from the French Foliage stamp set down the right of the image panel using Sahara Sand which seems to be a go-to color for me when it comes to ink distressing or adding, again, something subtle. Sahara Sand compliments our entire color palette. I added a few rhinestones to brighten up the card just a tad and did some 2-step stamping. My image panel was adhered to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
We would love to have you play along with us today and be sure to check out what the rest of the design team made for you. Thank you so much for stopping by to visit me and God bless you. Have a great day.

Mar 31, 2011 Russ Tarby Uncategorized
The classic comedic clash of the nebbish vs. the neatnik plays out this weekend at an unpretentious North Side nightclub.
Neil Simon's biggest hit, "The Odd Couple" stars two of Syracuse's most gifted actors – J. Brazil and Gerrit Vander Werff Jr. – as slob sportswriter Oscar Madison and clean freak news writer Felix Ungar, respectively.
Produced by Dustin Czarny's Not Another Theatre Co., the play's staged at an unassuming, dare we say unsightly blue-collar bar with the wordy name Fire and Ice Banquet Facilities at The Locker Room, 528 Hiawatha Blvd. East.
With sheer force of energy, however, Not Another Theatre Co. manages to rise above its humble surroundings to present above-average entertainment.
Accents and earrings
That's not to say this "Odd Couple" is perfect. For a show that's set in Manhattan in 1960 there's a decided lack of downstate accents among cast members. Even worse two characters, – including Brazil's Oscar – sport gold earrings, of all things. Those of us old enough to remember know that the only men who wore such jewelry in 1960 were transvestites and out-of-the closet gayblades. And Brazil's scraggly beard appears about a decade before facial hair became fashionable.
Those period details aside, though, this show deserves appreciative audiences. Simon's script about two polar-opposite divorced guys sharing an apartment is still funny after all these years, and this cast rises to the occasion to milk the daffy dialogue for a barrel of laughs.
The leads are perfectly cast. The beer-bellied Brazil stands as the archetypical man's man while Vander Werff's Felix is rail-thin and fidgety as an old maid.
Polar opposites
As Oscar bellows boisterously, Felix complains constantly. Sometimes he fumes in silence, and Vander Werff is a convincing facial contortionist whether popping his ears or pouting over burnt London broil.
Directors Daniel and Steven Rowlands gathered a decidedly quirky supporting cast. James Uva as Speed and Greg Hipius as Murray the cop each utilized Noo Yawk twang. Two more poker playing pals are played by Alan Stillman and David Vickers, who both create colorful characters despite their lack of lines.
In Act 2, as Felix endlessly annoys Oscar with an aerosol can and a vacuum cleaner, the sudden appearance of two air-headed neighbor girls provides a needed flicker of feminine presence in the ol' bachelor pad.
Wendy Viggiano and Anne Freund seem to have a ball playing two swinging sisters from London named Gwendolyn and Cecily Pigeon, and the birds' innocent appreciation for the odd couple actually helps save the guys' relationship.
"The Odd Couple," runs at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 31, and Friday and Saturday, April 2 , at the Fire and Ice Banquet Facilities at The Locker Room. Couples can dine and catch the show for $55; dinner and show for singles costs $29; and tables of eight cost $199. For show only, you pay $20. For tickets, call 446-1461.
McDowell helped found Eureka
Pastabilities' happy hour will never be the same.
One of its longtime regulars, Eureka Studios woodworker Bill McDowell, died March 21 at his home in Fabius.
Having graduated from Syracuse University's art program in 1968, McDowell went on to help establish Eureka Studios in 1976 in downtown's Armory Square. Seven years later the studio's artists incorporated as Eureka Crafts, at 210 Walton St. Following Eureka's lead, quaint gift shops, restaurants and specialty retailers have since filled Armory Square.
McDowell's funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Sunday April 3, at Fabius Community Church followed by a reception at the Highland Forest Park Lodge.
Bill is survived by his wife, the versatile artist Deborah Haylor-McDowell.
Big band at Suds April 6
The hard-driving Salt City Jazz Collective returns to the Syracuse Suds Factory at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 6.
The 16-piece orchestra led by trombonist Joe Colombo boldly delivers compositions by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. The band has also forged its own sound by performing original tunes by band members Joe Riposo and Angelo Candela.

Five Reasons to Love Air Supply
A chance meeting between two aspiring musicians at rehearsals for a Sydney, Australia production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 1975 was the catalyst for the formation of Air Supply, one of the most popular and successful soft-rock bands of the past quarter-plus century.
Guitarist/songwriter Graham Russell and vocalist Russell Hitchcock became friends almost immediately, discovering their shared love of music, and specifically, the Beatles. The duo began performing at various coffeehouses, pizza parlors, bars and practically anyplace they could convince the owners to give them a stage, regardless of how small or out-of-the-way the establishment happened to be. Their matchless, heartfelt harmonies and ability to connect with audiences drew the attention of record labels, but only CBS Records took a chance on them, signing them to a recording contract in 1976. Their first single, "Love and Other Bruises" hit the airwaves in November of that year, reaching the #6 position on the Australian singles chart in early 1977. Their first full-length album ("Air Supply") was released in December of that year, peaking at #17 on the charts.
A second album, "The Whole Thing's Started" was released in July of 1977 with only modest chart success, but a big break came their way when Rod Stewart asked them to open for his Australian tour. This opportunity gave them added exposure, even more when Stewart requested they travel with him to Canada and the U.S. Reaction was mixed on their first trip abroad, but a single from their second album, "Lost in Love," found its way to the desk of the legendary Arista Records executive Clive Davis, who signed them to a recording contract in 1980, after which "Lost in Love" became an international hit and was named Song of the Year.
More than three decades later, Air Supply has sold over 100 million albums, as well as putting together a remarkable succession of chart-topping singles. Ironically, Air Supply even equaled a mark set by their musical idols The Beatles by placing seven consecutive singles in the top five of the charts. They continue to tour extensively (and internationally), drawing capacity audiences on every continent. One of the undeniable high-water marks of their career was their participation in Australia's bicentennial in 1988 during which they performed for an audience that included Great Britain's Prince Charles and his wife, Princess Diana.
1. The music.
From "Lost in Love," "Sweet Dreams," "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All," "All Out of Love," "The One That You Love," "Even the Nights Are Better," and countless more, Air Supply has solidified their legacy by creating timeless love songs that never grow out of style.
2. The live concerts.
Since their first hit singles in the early 1980s, Air Supply has proven to be a consistently reliable concert attraction, filling venues across every continent for over three decades, an accomplishment very few musical acts can claim. An Air Supply concert eschews the high-tech razzle dazzle of other traveling units, focusing instead on the unparalleled music they've become synonymous with.
3. Universal appeal.
Love songs hold a universal appeal that effortlessly cross all barriers, whether they are language, ethnicities, race, religion, political differences or borders. Air Supply's ability to reach audiences of widely differing backgrounds is nearly unmatched, especially during recent turbulent global times. In such disparate countries as China, Cuba, Israel, Brazil, Canada, India, Jamaica, Korea and of course Australia, Great Britain, Europe and the U.S., Air Supply fans have filled arenas to experience their timeless music that speaks without prejudice or labels.
4. Simplicity.
Almost from the moment that Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell first met, what mattered the most to them was the music, and the combination of Hitchcock's clear tenor vocals with Russell's uncomplicated yet sincere compositions became the essence of musical simplicity at a time in musical history when most groups were cluttering up their sound with extraneous add-ons.
5. Love.
A quick scan of Air Supply's discography reveals one unmistakable common thread that is present in nearly all of their songs, and that's love. In a world sorely lacking in that essential emotion, Air Supply provides it in both quantity and quality.

Unanswered: Error at Cancel DoCmd.SendObject
When I cancel the Docmd.SendObject statement then I got an error.
In the procedure I used the following statements to send a report as snapshot attachment by e-mail:
On Error GoTo MailError
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "R_Report", acFormatSNP
I placed the following error handling in the procedure:
If Err.Number = 2501 Then
'Put the focus on the parent form in case sending of the e-mail was cancelled
End If
When I close the email-message, without sending it, it generates an error.
The stupid thing is, when I run in debug mode it works fine.
When running the application as normal, it produce a form_error with error number 0.
Does anybody knows how to fix this? (rebooting the system won't work)
(Win2K prof. and Off2K Pro SR1)

Impact of farming practices on soil diatoms and testate amoebae: A pilot study in the DOK-trial at Therwil, Switzerland
Testate amoebae (Arcellinida and Euglyphida) and diatoms (Bacillariophyta) respond to different ecological gradients. These protists are useful tools for biomonitoring and paleoecological studies in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about the responses of these micro-eukaryotes to soil management practices. We analyzed the testate amoeba and diatom communities from the DOK-trial (D: biodynamic, O: bio-organic, K: german "konventionell" integrated conventional) agricultural experiment at Therwil, Switzerland. Soil samples were collected from biodynamic and conventional plots and subsequently incubated for four months in a growth chamber. The diatom diversity tended to be higher in the biodynamic than in the two conventional systems. Redundancy analysis (RDA) suggested that diatom community structure differed between organic and the two conventional systems. Testate amoeba abundance was about five times higher in biodynamic than in conventional systems (P < 0.05) but no significant differences in diversity were reported between treatments. Altogether, these data suggest that diatoms and testate amoebae are sensitive to farming systems. As direct analyses of soil samples are time-consuming, molecular tools would be very useful for further development of the use of protists in bioindication.

Sean Lora-Hetzner, manager at United Way
Nov. 26, 1971 – Dec. 24, 2013
Sean Lora-Hetzner, a City Honors School graduate and community advocate who was pursuing a master's degree in urban planning at the University at Buffalo, died Tuesday of a heart attack at his family's Buffalo home. He was 42.
Mr. Hetzner was an active member of numerous community organizations and passionate about the environment and housing rehabilitation.
He has been agency relations manager at United Way of Buffalo & Erie County since 2006 and worked to rehab two homes in the Delaware District over the past two years.
He was a member of the Partnership for the Public Good, Buffalo Micro Parks, Erie County Youth Services and the West Side Community Planning Cooperative, among others, according to his father, Donald Hetzner.
His death was believed to be the first from the City Honors Class of 1989, whose members learned of their classmate's death Tuesday evening. He was also beloved by friends and family, who posted tributes on his Facebook page.
"He was an outgoing, friendly guy, just easygoing," his father said.
Born in Buffalo, Mr. Hetzner attended School 56 and graduated from City Honors. He earned a bachelor's in urban and policy studies at UB, held both a National Hispanic Scholarship and an Empire Minority Honors Scholarship, and was on the dean's list from 1992 to 1995.
From 1998 to 2006, he worked at Grover Cleveland High School as a full-time substitute teacher before joining United Way.
He was completing his master's degree at UB and attended an intensive summer program at University of Havana in Cuba as part of the degree. His mother, Coralia, is from Cuba.
He is survived by his parents and a brother, Matthew Joseph.

Do you think more states should stand up to unlawful and dangerous sanctuary city policies? Let us know in the comments. – Ed.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott acted to protect the citizens of Texas on Sunday when he signed into law SB 4, a bill to punish (and deter) local cities and counties like Austin from implementing sanctuary policies.
Abbott and the legislators who sponsored this bill are trying to stop the Lone Star State from being a sanctuary for criminal aliens. They want to make sure that criminals are removed from the state and deported from the country, rather than remaining in Texas so they can victimize even more citizens of the state.
Tonight I signed the law that bans sanctuary cities in Texas. Stiff penalties for violators. #txlege #tcot pic.twitter.com/MeVSCpg2oR
— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) May 8, 2017
SB 4 requires local governments in the state to comply with federal immigration law. That includes 8 U.S.C. § 1373, which forbids state and local governments from preventing their officials from exchanging information with the federal government on the citizenship status of any individual.
Under the new Texas law, local governments can't prevent their law enforcement officials from sending information to the feds on criminals they have arrested or detained.
City and county officials also can't prevent federal immigration officers from enforcing immigration laws in local jails, and are charged with "assisting or cooperating with a federal immigration officer as reasonable or necessary" to provide "enforcement assistance."
Further, Texas law enforcement agencies are directed to "comply with, honor, and fulfill any request made in the detainer request provided by the federal government."
This means that local jurisdictions that fail to honor federal detainer warrants—which are requests issued by federal immigration authorities to hold illegal aliens for pickup—will also be in violation of state law.

Dear Sunny South
A chatty account of a trip to Denton in 1887.
Denton, Texas.
Texas Booming - A Bright, Pushing Little City - Schools, Churches, Banks and Business
Since I last wrote you I have made a very pleasant trip to Texas, to the thriving little city of Denton, Northwest of the Queen City of the West, Dallas. The latter place I took in on my return. Let me here say that I have returned to Louisiana better pleased than ever with my native State. Having never been in Texas, I imagined that it was "flowing with milk and honey," and that dear old Louisiana was not a very desirable portion of this moral vineyard. I do not mean to say that Texas is not all she claims to be - oh! no; though she has plenty of room every way, but I do wish that fair Louisiana was as well advertised - then she would be on a grand boom indeed, for she has the best or as good natural resources. Dallas I found to be on the boom, arranging for a grand fair to take this month, which promises to be a big thing, as she is making extensive preparations and will no doubt make it a success. Her city park is very nice; her business houses and hotels are all they should be. I found the Grand Winsor a rival of the St. Charles in New Orleans - in prices, if nothing else.
Denton is the county seat of Denton County, and was laid out by Col. Welch over a quarter century ago. It has a large square with a splendid Court House in the centre and large business houses fronting it. The ambitious little city puts on all the style of her more matured sisters in every respect except streetcars. She has a population of four or five thousand inhabitants, numerous churches and one of the best schools (public) in the State. They get aid from the State, and besides levy a special city tax . The school has directors, who are elected by the city to manage the same. Capt. Carmenyges (Comegys), of Alabama, is Principal, and has a number of competent assistants. He is one of the finest educators in the State, and took pleasure in showing me through the different grades (nine). They use the word method of teaching, which I think is the natural one. I did not fail to tell him about our Louisiana State Normal school at this place, and how advanced we are becoming in the way of teaching since the Normal was established and the new methods introduced. Denton boasts of two banks.
The Exchange National is a model of its kind in arrangement and decoration. The polite cashier, Mr. Wm. A. Ponder, was kind in showing us around, and even took us in the fireproof vault. He called our attention to the beautifully painted scene (Southern) of the fleecy staple and golden grain on the ceiling of his office, also to that in the directors office (Judge Carroll's), which was a cattle scene delineating the long and short horns in all their glory on the rolling prairies of Texas, as "it was, is now and ever shall be." There are two flour mills in Denton - the last, but not lease, the Farmers' Alliance mills, built, owned and managed by the Association. These mills, an immense brick structure, were completed this year, and cost over $250,000. They were fortunate in getting Mr. Grant to manage them, as he knows his business. He is very obliging, and seemed to take real pleasure in showing us how flour is made. I had no idea that it went through so many processes to come out so pure and white, but suppose it is like life - the more grinding, sifting, fanning and rolling will only bring out the perfect individual. It rejoices one to see the farmers doing so well. The Farmers' Alliance is in its infancy in this State. If it does so well in infancy, what may we not expect from maturity? Texas is far ahead of us in co-operation and real American push.
There are two newspapers, the Post and Chronicle, published in Denton. I suppose the press will have a rest now, as Texas has just passed through one of the most heated and closely contested campaigns ever engaged in. Lawyers, of course, all have plenty to do, though. While there I read in the Dallas News "The Lawyer's Lament," in which it was stated that there were too many of them in Texas; and one would think so, as the other day there was a suit (a $10 one) in which four were interested, and the perch, divided between them, only amounted to twenty-five cents each. I know that the Denton lawyers are doing better, or they would not look so happy; besides, there are not so many as there is in Dallas. The dear SUNNY SOUTH is appreciated out there. How grand are the prairies! I felt that awe and inexpressible feeling that sometimes comes over us on beholding the sublime and beautiful in nature.
Hoping my communication will not tire you, I am, as ever, an interested reader of the ever welcome SUNNY SOUTH.
Natchitoches, Oct., 1887.
Editors Note: In November of 1874, J.H. and W.B Seals established the Sunny South in Atlanta as a literary magazine. The paper printed stories of prominent southern authors and covered the news of the state. In 1893, the paper was published as supplement to the Sunday editions of the Atlanta Constitution. The Sunny South, during this period, was the first newspaper in Atlanta to support the cause of suffrage for women.

Creating a Shortcut direct to a control panel sub-level window
I find that I'm wanting to change the Microphone level quite often and wonder if I can somehow create a shortcut direct to it, so it's a 1-click thing, straight to the Levels tab.
Currently I have to click about 7 times to get to that tab. Is it possible to create a shortcut to a drilled down level like that? If not, does anyone know if there's a way to find where in the registry the Level number is stored ? Then I can at least create a few preset .reg files that I can click on to set it without even going into that Levels dialog.

I see now that it's come up before, and this is as close as anyone got.
I'd love to know where Windows is storing this recording level value though. It's got to be either in the registry or in a file.

|15 Oct 2016
Replying to my own (old) thread for completeness. I did end up solving my problem in a different way. My main goal was to get to change the volume level quickly. I thought that getting to that screen was the best way, but it turns out it's easier than that. By installing NirCmd, I can create batch files that immediately change the volume to a preset level and I can have a couple of them on my desktop for different values. I even created a batch file that uses the nircmdc command which has a loop property, so it re-sets the volume 10 times per second and that overrides the automatic volume takeover features of things like skype, lync, and gotomeeting. Sometimes they'll raise your recording volume to 100% if they detect no noise from you (which can be because you're not doing/saying anything, so it's correct). With the microphone I have, the perfect recording level is 10%, so naturally I deafen everyone when these dumb programs take over. With my nircmdc loop, I get to fight back and change it back to 10% before it can even be noticed they made a change.

Marine tells of US torturing Afghans, commits murder-suicide
The veteran had previously been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome, which may have been brought on in part by an incident in which 8 Marines unit died (source). Another contributing factor was observing CIA officers torturing and killing mostly innocent Afghans at Kandahar airport.
Before his death he was working with LA Times reporter Ann Louise Bardach to air his allegations. From an article in the LA Times
In the beginning, Jeff supported the administration's policies in the region. But over time, that began to change. As we talked, Jeff brought out an album of photos from Afghanistan. He pointed to a series of photographs of a trailer and several huts behind a barbed-wire fence; these were taken, he said, outside a U.S. military camp not far from the Kandahar airport. He told me that young Afghans some visible in blue jumpsuits in his photos had been rounded up and brought to the site by a CIA special operations team. The CIA officers made no great secret of what they were doing, he said, but were dismissive of the Marines and pulled rank when challenged.--
Jeff said he had been told by soldiers who had been present that the detainees were being interrogated and tortured, and that they were sometimes given psychotropic drugs. Some, he believed, had died in custody. What disturbed him most, he said, was that the detainees were not Taliban fighters or associates of Osama bin Laden. "By the time we got there," Jeff said, "the serious fighters were long gone."
Jeff had other stories to tell as well. He said the CIA team had put detainees in cargo containers aboard planes and interrogated them while circling in the air. He'd been on board some of these flights, he said, and was deeply disturbed by what he'd seen.
