We can't get enough of Hillary White's mashups of classic fine arts with pop culture. In her latest series, she turns her wily brush to portraitures, with monsters, Muppets, villains, and superheroes as her subjects.
White's portraits are currently on display not at a gallery, but at Nosh Kitchen Bar in Portland, Maine, so you can enjoy your art over peppered beef stew. Some of these portraits are based on actual paintings—R2-D2 stars in a knockoff of Francois-Xavier Fabre's Portrait Of A Man, Batman in Anthony Van Dyck's Portrait Of Jan Brueghel, the Green Ranger in John Singer Sargent's Portrait of Louis Alexander Fagan, and Kermit in Frans Hals' Portrait of a Young Woman (so technically, Kermit sits for his portrait like a lady). Others come off as the wackiest CEO portraits ever to grace a boardroom wall. You can see more from the series in White's deviantART gallery.

Boarding Schools in Kentucky
Zion Educational Systems is a online directory of therapeutic schools, that offers a directory of the most suitable treatment facilities for their adolescent in Kentucky; who may be experiencing opiate abuse/addiction and/or defiance.
Zion Educational Systems is a family advocacy and consultation organization for parents, meaning that parents teens can complete their diploma through our programs, while simultaneously learning the skills required for sobriety and recovery at a "School for Troubled Teens." Parents of troubled teens should also keep in mind that, while the best boarding schools may be located outside of Kentucky, these schools for troubled teens accept teens from all throughout the country.
Ideally, parents will be looking for quality boarding schools in Kentucky that are academic institutions, that also provide intensive integrated therapy. This means that, while the students may not be able to function in a traditional school as a result of emotional disturbance or behavioral issues, they will find the treatment and academic focus they need in a therapeutic boarding school.
How Do Boarding Schools Help?
Boarding schools serve specific needs, such as emotional issues, disciplinary issues, and substance abuse problems. Most boarding schools are staffed by skilled, highly credentialed staff to ensure the best possible outcome for teens. In fact, the state in which a school is located will have legislated minimum requirements for curriculum content which every school must either meet or exceed. BoardingSchoolReview shows that 99% of boarding schools exceed these minimum requirements while providing a warm, family atmosphere.
This nurturing environment facilitates both healing and learning, making the therapeutic boarding schools recommended by our consultants at Zion Educational Systems the best options available in Kentucky. Our consultants are available to help parents of troubled teens find the optimal facility for their child. We help to place teens in programs and boarding schools that improve academics, provide the necessary life skills required for a life of successful sobriety, and bolster self-efficacy.
Although it is possible that the best boarding school or therapeutic center for struggling youth may be located outside the state of Kentucky, these premier treatment facilities are devoted to at-risk adolescents from all over the country. Also, the expert family advocates at Zion Educational Systems recommend to have troubled teens receive help away from the negative influences of unsupportive peers.
Zion Educational Systems is a premier online resource for parents of troubled youth, committing their help to the parents of struggling teenage boys and girls in Kentucky; who are looking for the optimal therapeutic center for their troubled adolescent.
Co-Ed Boarding Schools for Teens from Kentucky
While attending a co-ed school for teens, suggested by our consultants, teens will be able to complete their diploma, while simultaneously learning the skills required for sobriety and recovery. Such programs and residential boarding schools have been proven to have a dramatic impact on the lives of teens, turning them onto the right path of healing and success.
Some parents worry about there being less distractions afforded to their teens in a school segregated by sex. However, modern psychology and knowledge of the workforce will tell you that the genders need to be educated together as equals, and that co-ed schools are critical for teaching male and female teens to get along with one another. Co-ed boarding schools are far more beneficial than schools segregated by sex.
Benefits of Co-Ed Boarding Schools
Co-ed boarding schools create a feeling of equality between the genders, and prepares teens for the workforce. Troubled teens will be able to create healthy, interpersonal relationships based on mutual respect, rather than with a focus being on gender. By contrast, schools segregated by sex are quite misguided and actually increase gender stereotyping, which can lead to myriad issues later on.
This is why co-educational students grow to be more confident in expressing their views in the presence of members of the opposite sex. Furthermore, collaboration between the sexes in the classroom helps to develop confidence in teens and helps them to excel during their time at university, and as leaders in the workforce.
Parents of teens are encouraged to enroll their troubled teen in a co-educational environment as a way of preparing them for the workforce and "real world" situations. Being around members of the opposite gender will help to demolish misconceptions of the genders and provides an excellent foundation for the development of realistic, healthy relationships throughout their lives. Our consultants at Zion Educational Systems are happy to help parents of teens to find the optimal boarding school for their teens and their individual situations.
Helping Parents Research the Best Schools
As a Family Advocacy group, our job is to help parents research schools and programs in your state of Kentucky; designed to best treat troubled teens. Next, we represent parents as we help to get an enrollment at the best boarding school offered at the best price. Since ZES is able to work directly for parents, representing the best interest of the child and family, we are able to get scholarships and discounts from top schools in Kentucky where others can't.
Helping parents to determine, "what is the perfect school for troubled teens" is the most important step we offer. Our second step, after we have helped to evaluate your unique situation, is is to help you secure an enrollment at the school of your choice. This would include the process of securing you the lowest possible tuition rate based on scholarships and discounts. We can't promise you that a school will offer a discount, but if anyone can get you the best price it is ZES.
Zion Educational Systems is a leading online directory of treatment centers, giving guidance to parents of troubled teen boys and girls in Kentucky who are looking for the most suitable therapeutic centers for their teenager child; who may be experiencing anxiety and/or alcohol dependence problems. Call our skilled family advocate at (866) 471-8579 today!

Harriot Musgrove is my 3x great grandmother. She was born Harriot Francis in Kendal, Westmorland sometime around 1795. Harriot married William Musgrove on 30 October 1815 in Kendal.
Harriot has been one of the census "missing person" mysteries I've been trying clear up. I have found her on the 1841 and 1851 census returns together with her husband William. However on the 1861 census William is on his own.
I know that Harriot died in 1866 so she must be there somewhere – right?
Anyway I got my breakthrough this week.
As I was trawling through the newspaper archives on Find My Past I discovered the following article in the Kendal Mercury of 9 February 1861.
Harriet Musgrove, wife of Wm. Musgrove, sawyer, resident in Capper, and a very ill-favoured creature, was charged with stealing, on the 23d of January last, a sheet, the property of Mrs Ward. The sheet had been put out to dry on the drying ground near the Church Yard Dub, and was missed the same morning, and she did not see it again till last Saturday. Sergeant Hoggarth apprehended prisoner in her own house on Sunday, and on charging her with the theft, she said she had bought the article of a traveller, and gave a shilling for it. Prisoner elected to have the case settled by the Magistrates, under the summary jurisdiction act, and was sentenced to 2 months' imprisonment in the House of Correction.
Mr Hibberd, Inspector of Police, stated that they had recently had complaints without number of articles being stolen while out to dry.
There was another charge against the same prisoner of stealing a child's petticoat and a cotton apron, the property of Isabella Esmondhalgh. Prisoner had sold the articles to a man of the name of Wm. Leather, who had given her 7d. for them. They had been laid out to dry last Saturday, and were missed on going to the mangle. Prisoner was committed for another month on this charge.
Eleanor Hopkinson, a daughter of the prisoner in the above cases, was charged with stealing a petticoat, the property of Sarah Bryans. Prosecutor, who is a widow, stated that she missed the article in question along with some others, on the Tuesday fortnight previous, and it appeared that prisoner had offered then to pawn at Mr Willison's. Prisoner asserted that the petticoat was her own, and she had had it four years, and worked it up at Preston. Having chosen to submit her case to the decision of the Magistrates, she was committed to the House of Correction for three months.
So there it is – in the 1861 census, which was taken on 7 April, Harriot must still be in the House of Correction in Kendal along with her daughter Eleanor Hopkinson.
There were 14 enumeration districts in the Kendal 1861 census. I searched them in number order and there it was in the next to last district – the House of Correction. All the prisoners were just identified by initials – but there they are on consecutive lines – HM and EH – Harriot Musgrove and Eleanor Hopkinson.
Job well done!!

Unforgettable showBrilliant concert - my first ever U2 concert when I was a mere 16 years old. I love that this show is also immortalised on video and now DVD. A great selection of songs including old favourites such as Streets, Pride, New Years Day and With or Without You and songs from Achtung Baby and Zooropa. I was so jealous of the girl Bono selected to dance with him on stage during Love is Blindness. Bono's renditions of Unchained Melody and Can't Help Falling in Love were also pretty special. Thank goodness too that Adam Clayton was back on stage at this show.

Water has been used as a source of healing since ancient times. Ancient Roman public bath houses included baths and steam rooms and was a place where people would relax and socialize, and the mineral springs of Spa, Belgium became a place of healing and health as early as the 14th century. Even the word "spa" originates from the Latin phrase "Salvs per aquae" which translates to "healing through water." The benefits of bathing in hot springs has been well known for centuries and help us to relax tired muscles, heal skin ailments, and can even be drunk as a tonic to cleanse the body. Many modern European spas still incorporate water and hydrotherapy as a vital part of wellness and the spa experience, while in the United States water therapies tend to be viewed as a luxury. Adding hydrotherapy to your spa is a great way to enhance your spa services and add value to your business. A relaxing mineral soak, steam treatment, or Swiss shower before a massage treatment helps to relax the muscles for your clients and rid the body of impurities. Your spa patrons will leave feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated with the addition of these healing therapies.
Let's a do a quick rundown of water therapies used in the spa. The first and most well known are the Greek, Roman, and Turkish bath houses. In these bath houses patrons would go through steam or sauna rooms with gradually increasing heat, then cool off in a cold room at the end. They would then receive a massage and scrub down, and relax in a warm room before leaving. These bath houses were places to socialize and unwind, and were the beginning of today's modern spa treatments.
Today the traditional bath house treatments have been reinterpreted into water journeys and wellness resorts. In a water journey spa-goers travel through pools, steam rooms, saunas, and spa showers with varying temperatures and massage therapies. They are then treated to the massage of their choice. Wellness resorts built near hot springs featuring soaking pools and various wellness treatments using natural remedies can be found throughout the world. They are especially popular in Germany where people escape the daily grind to rejuvenate or seek physical therapy in what they called the "kur".
Swiss and Vichy showers were developed at the spas near the natural springs in Switzerland and France. Swiss showers feature and overhead shower and vertical shower heads that alternate warm and cold water for an invigorating experience. Vichy showers are mounted horizontally above a bed on which the client lays face down and simulates rain fall. Vichy showers and Swiss showers are gaining popularity in the United States and when done correctly are a fantastic addition to spa services. Depending on where your spa is located these showers can be used with mineral spring water or warmed sea water to add even more restorative properties to the treatment.
The simplest way to add hydrotherapy to your spa is with a soaking tub or whirlpool. With this simple addition you can create dozens of beneficial treatments. Herbal baths like the Krauter bath sooth aches and pains, while dips in hot and cold baths cleanse the body and strengthen the immune system. Spas also add dead sea salts or mineral salts, and even have entire baths of warm mineral or sea water. Jetted tubs offer the additional benefit of massage to the bathing experience.
The health benefits and calming affects of water treatments can't be denied, and adding hydrotherapy is a great way to add variety to your spa menu. What great hydrotherapy treatments have you incorporated into your spa?

Achievements and trophies are a relatively new phenomenon in the world of gaming, but what if they weren't? Gamerpaper takes a look at the achievements that might have been.
Duck Hunt, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mario Kart, and Mortal Kombat are just a few of the classic games that Gamerpaper gives the achievement treatment, to varying degrees of funny. Button mashers will enjoy the Mortal Kombat "No Luck" achievement, which requires that you actually do a move intentionally. I'm not sure the Roller Coaster Tycoon achievement that requires you to create a coaster that ends instead of killing the riders is realistic, and the TMNT "Leonardo? Psh..." achievement means nothing to me, as I was always a Donatello fan, but all and all its an excellent selection of achievements that makes people in video game website comment sections want to add their own *hint hint*.

From the girl who was handed Bono's setlAmazing, as always. Seventeen hours in line and worth every second and every single inch of my concrete bed from the night before. I love these guys. What more can I say? Every concert changes you - and makes you feel like you can change the world. ps: "Desire" was on the setlist but wasn't played!

Fantastic 2 nights in TO!Have been a fan since the War album. Jean Coffee if you still have my tape....get me the CD in return! I remember not being able to afford the Joshua Tree album as a starving grad. student in London, England. After waiting so many years, 2 concerts in Toronto came close to making up for it. To see and hear New Year's Day live on the 17th was a wish come true. May there be many, many more U2 concerts to come.

FORGET WOODSTOCK - U2 360 TOUR, BEST CONU2 was absolutely amazing both nights at the Rogers centre in Toronto in an unforgettable two night rock odyssey. The second night, I was in general admission and it was the greatest concert experience of my entire life. I was so elated after the first five songs that if the concert had ended just then I still would have been completely satisfied. The energy was absolutely amazing and U2 were at their very best. They could have sung "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and still make it sound like the greatest rock song ever written. I'm NOT exaggerating when I say this may have been the GREATEST CONCERT EVER!!! It was certainly MY greatest concert experience. I've seen U2 seven times in total now (NOT NEARLY ENOUGH BY THE WAY - IF ONLY I HAD MORE MONEY AND MORE TIME), but again, even though they're always amazing, this was my very best experience of them thus far. The concert was so unbelievably, mind-blowingly great, it left me speechless - there are simply no words to describe how truly awesome it was. All I can say is that, pardon mylanguage here, but the concert was basically a two and half hour auditory orgarsm.
03 October, 2009
And the statium is tinted a bright red bAll I can say is wow. My first U2 concert and the best one i've ever seen. You know, even though they are reaching their 50's in a year or two, seeing them live, you can't even tell. I believe god shows us little glimpses of heaven, that U2 show must have been one of them.
25 September, 2009
From Scotalnd to TorontoWe saw them in Glasgow and just had to do it again so we flew in on the 16th, dumped the luggage and headed straight down to the stadium to queue. My hubby, 13 year old daughter and myself were rewarded with inner circle spaces right in front of Edge for BOTH nights. WOW!! What an amazing experience. Met some excellent people along the way. TORONTO YOU KNOW YOUR NAME! Thank you for 2 Amazing Nights U2!! xxxx We will be back again!
24 September, 2009
MAGNIFICENTI was at the Thursday show...in the inner circle about 10 ft away from the stage. That was almost two weeks ago - and I'm still there in my mind. That was the most incredible concert I have ever been to -and I've been to plenty. Breathe was a GREAT choice to open the show - and I was ecstatic when they added my favourite U2 song, Mysterious Ways, to the set list. Bono is amazing, he didn't miss a note! New Year's Day and Unknown Caller were amazing, the acoustic Stuck In a Moment was awesome (love the Edge's voice), Magnificent was...well, magnificent :-) My favourite part had to be One/Amazing Grace/Streets - that was breathtaking. I just stood there watching. When are they coming back?!?! LOL P.S. To the person who asked about being under the bridge - the bridge swung over our heads at the front during Magnificent. Frankly, everyone was LOVING it!
23 September, 2009
What a night!What a concert! We attended both nights and Thursday night wasdefinitely the better performance out of the two. Bono was really connecting with the audience and he had them eating out of the palm of his hand. It was such an amazing concert that it has left me trying to decide whether its the best concert I've seen in my life, or if its tied with their Sept 16 performance from the Vertigo tour. Either way, its a night I'll never forget. I wonder how the boys felt about this concert - I wonder if they feel if its right up there as one of their best shows of this tour.
23 September, 2009
UNFORGETTABLELong time fan, sold out show – drove for four hours from Ottawa to Toronto and hoped I'd be able to get a ticket AND make it in time – luck was on my side! Got a ticket in less than a minute and didn't miss the opening. Acoustics, visual / screen, performance…everything was larger than life. When Bono brought Lucas onstage…wow! The one and only criticism would be that they could have made better use of the stage so fans on the sides and at the back could get a better experience – maybe have a slow spinning stage so it literally does a 360? That said, they still did not disappoint – totally worth it! My first experience at the Rogers Centre was a lasting one - skydome open to boot! Hope the rumored Montreal date gets added to the tour (Ottawa would be even better! lol). MAGNIFICIENT!

THANKS BONO,LARRY,EDGE,ADAM!!!What an unbelievable tour! I felt you guys were not given the best Canadian welcome at last nights show. There was a lack of enthusiasm throughout the crowd and i was personally disappointed for you guys as a canadian fan. I went all the way to Dublin to see you play this year on July24/27 and there was pure magic in the air.!!You could feel the love and energy in the crowd! For such outstanding musicians it was hard for me to look around the toronto crowd and see such lack of appreciation. The second show was alot different and there was a stronger feeling of elevation and joy. Thank you Bono for singing your heart out! You are an amazing frontman! Thanks for being spontaneous and showing how much you care for your audience. When you brought Lucas on stage there were tears in my eyes. Tears of joy and happiness, knowing how much it would mean to him and how much you love what you do! Thank you Larry for uniting this band and keeping the strong rhythm throughout the show. Loved your drumming during I'll go crazy tonight! Thank you Adam for your amazing talent and bass playing. Loved New Year's Day! Thank you Edge for sharing your gift! Extraordinary! Love you guys! Wish that i could attend all your shows! I will be patiently awaiting your next tour when i will be going back to Dublin! God bless!!
20 September, 2009
New Delhi to TorontoI travelled from New Delhi(India) to Toronto - especially for the show. I had travelled 5 years back too,to Toronto, for the Vertigo Concerts. Seeing them i felt it was 'No line on the HORIZON', was there for both the MAGICAL shows & now am waiting to start my march towards Australia/Japan - for my Moment of Surrender.!!
20 September, 2009
An Unforgettable Experience!!!My husband and I had been looking forward to this concert for months!!! What an incredible night!! Snow Patrol were excellent and definitely warmed us up for U2!! They never cease to amaze us!! They put their hearts and souls into every show and even after 30 years they perform with such incredible passion...passion for music and passion for changing the world!!! We are hoping they come back to do more Canadian dates!! We plan on camping out all day so that we can get a spot inside the circle...seeing them on the overhead screen just isn't the same...we need to be closer!! Ever since I first saw Bono pull that lucky woman on stage during their Live Aid performance, I have dreamed of having that same experience!! Hearing Bono sing Bad would have made the night even more perfect if that's possible!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you....please come back soon!!!!
20 September, 2009
Kinda bummed...Sorry to be the one to burst the Toronto 2 bubble here, but, as someone who has waited almost 25 years to see U2 live, I am honestly a bit disappointed. Before I purchased our tickets, I read on U2.com somewhere (maybe it was The Edge who said this?) that the behind the stage seats were some of the best in the house. So, when the second Toronto show was added and the seats we got were section 103, row 9, I was thrilled! Especially once we arrived and saw the catwalk coming all the way around to the back, I thought for sure the entire band would make their way around often and spend a good amount of time showing their stuff to those of us near the rear. This was definitely not the case. I think Bono made it to the back 2 or 3 times for just a few seconds at a time, but, more than that, because we were under a bit of an overhang, we could not understand one word he said to the crowd. I'm trying hard to not be too critical here, because I still love U2, and I'm sure it was an amazing show for those who got to see them from the front of the stage (even those who were up higher), but, I really felt like the behind the stage seats should have been priced at one of the lower brackets, not the 2nd highest. $100 bucks is still a lot of money for a concert ticket...I was hoping to at least feel like I was in the same building as the band and have the full Bono experience that I'd been waiting so long for. Do you really have to pay $250 per ticket to get it? I hope not! (The photo I took was my camera zoomed-in as far as it would go. I wish we had been that close!)
19 September, 2009
Must come back to Make full 360!I was at both shows!! First in the fiftth deck, second 100 Level. That stage is the most impressive thing I have ever witnessed and I was there for POP, which was incredible. The second show I had to admit brough mixed emotions as my friend suffered a panic attack and had to leave after three songs. This guy had been going to concerts since ZOO TV. So I really hope you comeback to T.O. We both need a second chance, cause we were both down after that. Still It was a spiritual experience to see U2.
19 September, 2009
Tina loves U2 AWESOME IN TORONTOWell what can you say that hasn't already been said. Happy that those of us that arrived early. it certainly paid off. They allowed the first 2400 people in line to be in the circle. The show was Magnificent. I would say maybe not as good as the Vertigo tour but the atmosphere was fabulous. Bono sang his heart out and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. Can't wait until we see them in Las Vegas in October.
19 September, 2009
U2 x 2The 2nd of two great shows in Toronto. Loved hearing New Year's Day, Mysterious Ways and Stuck In A Moment all for the first time live. The No Line songs are exceptional in concert, and the classics were amazing, as always. Loved hearing the rareities like Unforgettable Fire and Ultraviolet as well. U2 are definitely at the top of their game. Come back soon!
18 September, 2009
Rock the 'Casba'Show last night was GREAT! There were some seriously humorous moments. Like he sung rock the casba (80s song ..I think?) near the end of Sunday Bloody Sunday. Fuuny! That was strange and funny all at the same time. One of the best I've seen (first time seeing U2). First theatrical production/rock production concert I've been to..pretty cool. The opening was Amazing! And I got some rockin' pictures too..but there're too big and not feeling like compressing the file right now. Hopin' they tour next year too.
18 September, 2009
U2's still got itThis stage and light show made a huge stadium feel like an intimate theatre at times. There were moments that were absolutely mesmerizing, and I was in the nosebleeds. I saw the Joshua Tree Toronto show in '87 and two decades later U2 still blew my mind. Ticket holders: you are in for a special treat. This band is electric!
18 September, 2009
Rogers Centre should be renamed Bono-domWhat a wonderful, awe-inspiring concert last night! U2 were in incredibly good form last night! The "space oddity" was just about the most inventive stage I have ever seen. The thing that struck me during the concert was how tight U2 are. It's not a surprise to me with this being my third time seeing them live, but aside from the band playing like a well-oiled machine (as they always do), the themes inherent throughout the concert were what struck me. We are ONE, whether we live in Canada or Africa or are a political prisoner in Burma. We have to carry each other. Not the first time that U2 has voiced this message, but still, very powerful. Loved the set list, even Magnificent, which is my least favourite song from Horizon. It was redeemed last night - definitely a "live" song and not a "CD" song. Stroke of genius opening the concert with Breathe. I took one deep breath and the band took my breath away! Having been a fan for over 25 years, hearing Unforgettable Fire and MLK was simply magical. Sunday Bloody Sunday was striking, but it always amazes me that the audience gets so excited when this song is played. For me, hearing it creates an introspective moment, to reflect on the atrocities in the world. Bono was the ultimate showman. He has such charisma and presence. I believe we all would have followed him to the ends of the earth last night, singing at the top of our lungs the whole way!
18 September, 2009
Absolutely IncredibleIt was my first U2 show, and I couldn't have asked for anything more! From when Edge was singing/playing on "Stuck in a Moment" to the people flicking their condo lights on and off during "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" it was amazing. I think the highlight of the evening for me though will always be singing 'Amazing Grace' with 60,000 other people as a lead in to "Streets". Thanks again for a wonderful evening!
18 September, 2009
Amazing!I've been a fan since high school, but this was my first opportunity to be able to see them live. I was not disappointed! The stage, lights, sound, performance all perfect! My favorite moments were the tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi and Bono swinging around the stage during Ultraviolet. It will definitely be a night I will always remember. Only slight disappointment was the lack of people that showed up to see Snow Patrol open. They're an awesome band, they sounded great, and got those of us that were there wound up for the big show.
18 September, 2009
First timer Of U2This was my first time ever seeing the band. We had General Admin Floors and we picked the right spot the whole night Bono and Edge were on our side of the stage and the fact we were only 50 feet away was simply amazing. I have to say this has been one of my top 3 concerts of all time. Rock on boys you do it very well

25 years, 40 shows down, always impresseWe were at both shows. Toronto 2 was my 40th U2 show (more than 25 years after my first one). Boy I'm getting old! Only thing missing last night was Bad (my on-stage song with U2 back in the 80s!) Now I bring my family and we are always so impressed with how well U2's crew treat our children. Thanks so much, especially AJ. My son Thomas was the lucky boy during Vertigo in Ottawa and I was thrilled to see my longtime U2 buddy Russell see his son Lucas on stage last night. The CN tower in the background was a perfect complement to U2's stage. Loved Crazy... a definite highlight. When are you coming back?
18 September, 2009
Toronto 2nd Night ShowNow I think I will go CRAZY Tonight. It was amazing!!! I have never seen a venue that can best be described as " ART IN MOTION " The Instrumentals, Vocals---Straight on and BONO HIT IT. The Spaceship and Showmanship and the CN Tower made it a once in a lifetime moment. AND I WAS THERE!!!! Thank You U2.
18 September, 2009
Toronto through your u2's eyes!I was only a feet away from the stage (to my surprise) and I felt an energy that is hard to describe in words. At the end of the concert Bono said "Thank you for making this dream come true" - pointing to the "Claw" and for giving us a great life". All I can say in return is thank you for giving us a great life experience. "May we leave the ground, only to get lost in your sounds" Sebastian
18 September, 2009
Even Better Than The First ThingLoved the tweaks made to the second night's set list, loved Bono's interaction with crowd--and heck, his interaction with the apartment building dwellers who watched from their terraces! Took my 11-year-old son, who was absolutely thrilled to be there (and, I might add, a wee bit jealous of Lucas, who got to run a lap of the track and don Bono's shades). Before the concert I asked the gentlemen behind me if they were planning to stand. One of 'em responded with, "I don't get why people stand at concerts. They don't stand up when they listen at home." I gave a knowing smile and said, "With these guys, you can't stay sitting." By "Boots," he was on his feet too. If they'd added a third night, without a doubt, the Rogers Centre would have liftoff.

In observance of the 13th Annual National Survivors of Suicide Day, the Hawai'i State Department of Health in conjunction with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will present the "Prevent Suicide: Survivors, Provider and Community Partners In-Action Hawai'i Conference 2012," on Wednesday, November 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Elks Lodge in Honolulu, located in Kapi'olani Park. Each November, survivors of suicide loss come together at healing conferences in their communities nationwide for support and guidance.
In Hawai`i, this year's conference is being held to acknowledge the grief that survivors experience and to provide hope and assistance for them in an atmosphere of support and healing. The conference will also address the community need for education and information among service and health care providers, school personnel and professional caregivers. Sessions will be offered on survivor debriefing, healing through the arts, and strategic planning for suicide prevention in Hawai'i. This year's conference themes are hope (man'olana), help (kokua), and healing (ho'ola).
Conference keynote speakers include Dr. Kamana'opono Crabbe, Chief Executive Officer of Office of Hawaiian Affairs; Dr. David Brown, Regional Director, Behavioral Health, Pacific Regional Medical Command, Tripler Army Medical Center; and Dr. Ishmael Stagner, Program Specialist at Alu Like.
In addition to the DOH Injury Prevention and Control Program and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Division, conference sponsors include Hawai'i Suicide Prevention, Education, Awareness, and Research (SPEAR); and Queen Liliuokalani Children's Center.
The conference will be enhanced by an Awareness Walk in Kapi'olani Park at 5 p.m. and an Aloha Reception at 6:30 p.m. at Elks Lodge. Both events will be held on November 14, the same day as the conference. For registration information for the conference, walk and reception, contact Pua Kaninau-Santos at (808) 271-8582 or firstname.lastname@example.com
One million people die by suicide every year in the United States. In Hawai'i, someone dies by suicide every other day. These individuals leave behind countless family members and friends to make sense of the tragedy. Survivors often experience a wide range of grief reactions, including anger, shock, and symptoms of depression and guilt.

Scientists at 26 Alzheimer's Disease Centers have collaborated on a study that concludes that a test for a form of an Alzheimer's-related gene, called ApoE, when administered after an initial clinical evaluation, reduces the number of false positive diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease by approximately 30 percent. The researchers, who were supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), also reported that testing only for the E4 form of the gene, although strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease, is not sufficient to be used as a diagnostic tool by itself. In fact, nearly 40 percent of Alzheimer's patients with a confirmed diagnosis did not have the E4 form of the APOE gene.
The researchers suggest that, following a thorough evaluation by a trained physician and using recommended criteria and other diagnostic tests such as MRIs, a test for the E4 form of ApoE might be a helpful supplemental tool for physicians trying to make clinical diagnoses of different types of dementias. According to Dr. Creighton Phelps of the NIA, "we cannot underestimate the usefulness of increasing a physician's confidence in diagnosing a disease of this magnitude. When facing a family who must bear the weight of such devastating news, most doctors would appreciate as many tools as possible to help them in their certainty of diagnosis. ApoE testing may be such a tool."
The study appears in the February 19, 1998 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine and represents the largest cooperative investigation to date among 26 Federally-funded U.S. Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs). Dr. Phelps, who supervises the ADCs Program for the NIA, points out that the ADCs have been established by the NIA over the past 15 years at academic institutions nationwide to enroll patients for research studies related to Alzheimer's disease in the hope of improving diagnosis, and to create and test new therapies for the disease. For this study, data from 26 centers were pooled, and without the establishment of the ADCs, it would have been much harder and taken much longer for this study to gather data on 2,188 people.
The presence of the E4 form of the ApoE gene, discovered 5 years ago as a risk factor for Alzheimer's, is found most often in people who exhibit signs of the disease after age 65. One of three forms of ApoE, E4 has been associated with the greatest risk for Alzheimer's. Initially, researchers thought that genotyping (distinguishing among different forms of a gene) for ApoE-4 alone might be sufficient to diagnose and predict the disease. But, ApoE-4 status alone is not predictive of the disease. Other factors must contribute to the risk of developing Alzheimer's. Thus other studies are searching for additional genes or environmental factors that may also play a part in determining whether or not a person develops Alzheimer's.
The study analyzed data from 2,188 patients who had been enrolled at the Centers for diagnosis of dementia, subsequently died, and had post-mortem examinations for the presence or absence of Alzheimer's pathology in the brain. Investigators, led by Richard Mayeux, M.D., at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, were ultimately able to examine records of 1,108 women and 1,080 men submitted by the ADCs. The average age of the study participants at diagnosis was 72 and the average age at death was 77. Ninety-seven percent of those studied were Caucasian, thus limiting the extent to which these findings can be generalized to other populations.
Each of the patients received the recommended battery of clinical and behavioral tests for Alzheimer's. The patients had been followed throughout the course of their disease and their brains were examined after their death.
Ninety-three percent (1643) of those individuals found to have Alzheimer's by examining their brains after their death, i.e., their brains showed clear evidence of Alzheimer's-related changes, had been diagnosed by a physician as having the disease during their lifetime. However, 45 percent (190 persons) of those found to have other forms of dementia at the time of brain autopsy had also been diagnosed by physicians as having Alzheimer's during their lifetimes. This high rate of false positive diagnoses (45 percent) shows the limitations of using recommended clinical criteria alone.
Dr. Mayeux and colleagues examined the effect of the ApoE genotype in reducing false positive diagnoses and in adding to the assurance of clinical diagnoses. By using the ApoE genotype only in those patients who first met clinical criteria for Alzheimer's, the false positive rate of diagnosis decreased from 45 to 16 percent.
Thus, the addition of ApoE genotyping to an arsenal of other tests that are used to determine Alzheimer's status may be useful. Dr. Mayeux cautions, however, that the study was "done in a selected group of people who received treatment in specialized centers for Alzheimer's disease, and that the results do not apply to individuals of other ethnic groups or in other healthcare situations. More broad-based study is needed before these results can be assumed to be universally applicable."
The NIA, one of 18 institutes at the National Institutes of Health, leads the Federal effort in studying Alzheimer's disease and supports basic, clinical, epidemiological and social research on aging and the special needs of older people.

What testing does Foonf undergo?
The Clek Foonf convertible child seat has undergone rigorous dynamic crash testing, including:
- Compliance testing which is federally required and represents 98% of all real-world crashes
- NCAP testing which simulates forces experienced in extreme crashes
- Side-impact and other extensive due-care testing which tests conditions outside of compliance testing, such as structural integrity for maximum occupant weight and various installation positions, the effect of extreme temperatures, misuse conditions, etc.
The Federal Government has established dynamic performance (crash testing) criteria that all Child Restraint Systems are required to meet. These criteria are used to assess the probability of injury.
Shown below are the independent results of the forces measured during FMVSS213 crash testing.
|Head Injury Criteria1 (must be below 1000)
|Test Dummy Class
|Rear-Facing Installation
|1 year old
|339 66% below
|3 year old
|521 48% below
|Forward-Facing Installation

Over 150 years of KWS history began with growing sugarbeet and today, KWS is one of the market leaders in the commercialization of sugarbeet seed.
Due to the intensive research and breeding activities that were undertaken over the past years, the sugar yield has been continuously improving and the disease and pest tolerance became more important.
Regardless of the intended use, whether it is the production of sugar, ethanol or biogas, KWS provides the right variety for the each purpose and region. To meet the growing requirements of our customers, not only do we invest in research and breeding but we also continuously improve our production processes to obtain the highest seed quality. As seed specialists, this is a very important goal.

Here's my Facebook page if anyone would like to "like" it:
There is a petition on whitehouse.gov regarding bans on atheists in public office. Please sign!

i wanted to invite all members of "Atheist Politicians" to our new group page for the National Atheist Party of Georgia. You can find us at the following link: www.atheistnexus.org/group/national-atheist-party-ga
If I were a voting Democrat USA citizen, I'd do all I could to favour the least likely-to-win GOP candidate :)
I thought this was very useful
Check out my Atheist Nexus post here
It about the U.S Supreme Court Ruling on Corporate Personhood.
Did you hear about it? If so, why didn't you discuss it here?
I am in no way interested in running for public office, HOWEVER, I am interested in helping organize a campaign. I guess I will be waiting a loooong time since I live in TN and there is practically NO chance an open atheist could get elected here as things are right now. I DO think that it might be possible for someone who might not be an open atheist. I'm finding more and more acceptance here, and I think the more of us there are, who are open about our non belief, the more it will HAVE to be accepted and eventually represented.
Anything I can do to help that.......I'm IN!!

To order the iPPV, click the graphic below:
The show opened with the former Chris Master, Chris Mordetsky came out and cut a promo ripping on the crowd. He said that he would issue an open challenge to "any of the so-called Superstars in the back" to try and take the Masterlock Challenge.
Matt Taven, with Kasey Ray, came out. He said that he has no respect for the people in Brooklyn but he has even less for Masters. He accepted the challenge. Masters told him that when he was done, a real man will have to take care of his girl. Taven said that he must mean the referee.
They rang the bell for the challenge. Taven sat in a chair and allowed Masters to put the full nelson on him. Taven was unable to break the hold and finally submitted.
Your winner, Chris Mordetsky!
Firebird Jorge Santi came to the ring. He took the mic and questioned Masters whether he actually thought he was done and going to go home. He said they were in Brooklyn (big pop) and challenged him to face Santi tonight. He said he wasn't going home without a fight.
Mordetsky said that he accepts the challenge but he's going to whoop him right now. They rang the bell. The crowd chanted for Santi.
They locked up and Masters used his power to shove him down. He played to the crowd and posed. Santi grabbed a side headlock but was sent into the ropes and shoulderblocked down.
Santi grabbed another headlock and was again sent into the ropes, but this time slipped through Masters' legs and nailed a series of dropkicks. He went for a sunset flip but Masters tried to fight it off. Santi pulls his tights down and we had a full moon in Brooklyn. The place loved that. Santi rolled him up for a two.
Santi went for a rana but was caught and powerbombed by Masters for a two count. Masters worked him over and whipped him hard into the corner. Santi used a jawbreaker and a Buff Blockbuster for a two count.
Masters went for a bearhug but Santi fought out of it and hit a high cross bodyblock off the middle turnbuckle for a two count. He kicked Masters in the gut and went for a leaping kick but Masters recovers and kicked him back. Santi used a bodypress for a two count.
They went back and forth. Santi nailed a enziguiri. Masters went for the Masterlock but Santi pushed off the ropes and went over for a two count. Masters locked him in it again and Santi appeared to be fading fast. He finally submitted.
Your winner, Chris Mordetsky!
Good match with Santi playing the local hero who got some hope spots and two counts in before losing the valiant fight. Nice opener. Mordetsky has gotten even better since he left WWE, from an in the ring standpoint.
Masters worked over Santi, leading to Taven hitting the ring and attacking him. Santi and Taven worked over and double teamed Masters. Masters powdered out of the ring. Santi and Taven shook hands. Weird to see two babyfaces working over one heel but I guess technically Taven is a heel here too.
FWE Tag Tournament: House Party vs. Adrenaline Express
They will be crowning champions tonight. The idea is that the tournament draw is blind so no one knows who they are wrestling until it is announced. Party is formerly known as All Money Is Legal and trained at the LIWF Doghouse. Express are EJ Risk & VSK.
They all shook hands and hugged before the match and went back and forth with some nice wrestling. They had a really hot match, most of which was too fast to keep up with.
Adrenaline hit an awesome finisher with one nailing a flapjack and the other drilling their opponent down with a backstabber across the chest.
Your winners, Adrenaline Inc.
Really fun match. They did so much it was ridiculous.
As Adrenaline returned to the back, The Midnight Sensations attacked them through the curtains with chairs and beat them down. They announced that they have "landed."
FWE Tag Team Title Tournament: Sonay Dutt & Daivari vs. Diamond Inc.
Inc are Jason Gotti & Joey Ace. Ace and Dutt started out, going back and forth with some nice wrestling, Dutt really shined early on. Ace grabbed a side heasdlock but was sent into the ropes. He shoulderblocked Dutt down. Dutt came back with a tan and sent him to the floor. Dutt hit a dive to the outside.
Back in the ring, Daiviari tagged in and they worked over Ace. Ace regained control on Daivari and tagged Gotti. Gotti choked Daivari against the ropes and used several big uppercuts. Gotti drilled Daivari with a clothesline for a two count. Gotti whipped Daivari into the corner but was nailed with a forearm. He recovered to hit an overhead belly to belly suplex for a two count. The crowd chanted "Chaz Bono" at Gotti.
Daivari came back with a series of chops in the corner on Ace and a superplex. Both men were down but recovered and Dutt made the hot tag. He nailed a series of hot maneuvers including a slingshot legdrop on Ace for a two count.
Ace went for a superkick but missed and recovered with an enziguiri on Dutt. Dutt nailed a DDT. Daivari nailed a Death Valley Driver. Diamond Inc's valet distracted him and he went to nail her. Gotti charged but Daivari moved and Gotti knocked his girl off the apron.
Daivari and Dutt hit some cool combination moves and pinned Ace.
Your winners, Daivari and Sonjay Dutt!
Good match. One thing FWE does well is putting their locals in with "name" talent to give them the rub and help them learn. This was a good example of that.
Mike Bennett (with Maria Kanellis) vs. Colt Cabana
The crowd was all over Boston Boy Bennett with "Let's go Yankees" chants. Bennett said the Yankees will soon have the biggest collapse in baseball history. He said he was going to talk about a real winner, himself. He said that he is the Prodigy and he is better than the best. He said he was going to take out Cabana tonight.
Cabana said he wants to come out and issues challenges, so he accepts and accepts "a different challenge." He said he was going to keep it as family friendly as possible. He said he wants to accept the challenge of "shtupping his girlfriend." That enraged Bennett and he charged and attacked Cabana.
Bennett ripped off Cabana's jacket and worked him over. Cabana made a comeback and chopped Bennett hard on the floor. They battled around the ring and did some funny comedy spots.
Cabana worked over Bennett and went for a back senton splash but Bennett rolled out of the way. He covered Cabana for a two count and locked him in a rear chinlock. Bennett brought in a chair and sat down on it while working over Cabana. Cabana mad ea comeback and started clubbering Bennett. He nailed the Butt Butt for a two count.
Bennett whipped Cabana into the corner but was kicked off. Cabana went to the top but was pulled off. He whipped Bennett into the corner for the Flying A-hole but Bennett moved. Maria Kannellis got on the apron and distracted the referee as Cabana charged Bennett and was nailed with the chair as he pulled it up into Colt's path.
Bennett scored the pin.
Your winner, Mike Bennett!

Well with the windows command line it goes like this:
copy /B C:\part00.ty+C:\part01.ty+C:\part02.ty c:\combined.ty
ok, i'm a dummy. i've got this installed and have successfully pulled off a .tmf, and i want to make a dvd.
the tmf is a 30 minute show, and is in two parts in the tmf. so, i have two .tys that i need to concat and what - vsplit and mux? how do i put the two ty back together?
sorry if this has been covered; please feel free to point me to a faq
Well with the windows command line it goes like this:
copy /B C:\part00.ty+C:\part01.ty+C:\part02.ty c:\combined.ty
Just as an FYI: I am running TiVoWeb, mfs_ftp and ftpd simultaneously with out problems. I just started mfs_ftp on a different port. I have extracted 6 shows today without any problems.
https://www.panic.com/transmit seems to work good for me.
I had *exactly* the same problem. As soon as you turn of the multiple connection option in FileZilla it all starts working again....Originally posted by mini__me
Strange my problem is slightly different to yours as I can get them to run from 1.2.1 and I can browse around with the phoenix and shutdown working fine and I'm able to see shows however I get this critical error when I try to download and upload just hangs as if waiting for something that never happens.
Are you running the .tcl through dos2unix just in case? I am doing this to every file now and have had no problems of file not found anymore.
( at least one place was under Queue, Use Multiple Connections )
I've noticed a number of posts about why the mfs_ftp.tcl script doesn't run for some people. I think I can clarify the confusion.
First, what's really going on:
A text file on a dos system has a <cr><nl> at the end of each line. Unix expects just a nl.
Looking at the 1st line in mfs_ftp_1.2.3.tcl, we see a line that is supposed to start the tcl interpreter:
This invokes a program called /tvbin/tivosh. So
far this is 1st grade stuff. Now for the fly in the ointment...
If the file is a DOS format file, the <cr> before the <nl> becomes part of the filename, and looks like this:
Yes, in UNIX a <cr> *can* be part of a filename. Of course the tivo can't find the tivosh<cr> program, and, well, end of story.
The dos2unix command probably strips the <cr> (I dont use this utility myself), or Unix purists might use the command
"tr -d '\r' <mfs_ftp_1.2.3.tcl >mfs_ftp_1.2.3_unix.tcl"
to do the same thing. In either case, this will remove the <cr> and fix the problem.
why does the command "/tvbin/tivosh ./mfs_ftp_1.2.3.tcl" work? because TCL doesnt
need that filename, and doesn't (usually) care
about the extra <cr> in the file.
Why is this happening? I looked at the unziped files on my unix system, and find that the mfs_ftp_1.2.2.tcl and mfs_ftp_1.2.3.tcl files are in 'DOS' format. In order to work the <cr> needs to be stripped.. somehow...
IF you use FTP from a *DOS* system up to the tivo
(unix) system in *ASCII* mode, the format translation is done for you , and things should work out of the box. If you use *BINARY* mode,
OR come from a UNIX system, FTP believes no translation is needed... and the extra <cr> is left intact (booo).
If you are running unix, or have the 'od' utility on your Tivo, the following command will show the line terminators and you can see it for yourself:
od -c mfs_ftp_1.2.3.tcl | less
Conclusion: Just run the dos2unix command, or the tr command to remove the 'cr', and enjoy the use of the program!

gtkfxp worksOriginally posted by jodell
[B]Has anyone found a suitable Linux GUI FTP client that supports FXP?
I haven't downloaded or tried this yet, in fact, I just found it, but I have a question...
With this, and a corresponding client/server app sitting on another tivo, how hard would it be to have Tivo A pull a recording from Tivo B, then start playing that recording once it has buffered enough data, ala HMO for Series 1...
I think the real challange would be doing that from the Tivo interface w/o having to actually log into either box.
Just wanted to report in another successful installation of this program. I really love the feature, you did a great job.
Just to let you know a little about my experiences:
I am using 1.2.4 on a SA Series 1 (S-2000) v3.0. Turbonet card using the standard 3.0 drivers. (Should I change these?)
I have to start it using tivosh mfs_ftp.tcl, and I edited the script to call tivosh directly also.
I am getting 1.2 to 1.5 MB/s downloads using FileZilla 2.1a, but uploads are between 200 and 300 kB/s. I haven't gone through the debug suggestions a few pages back yet.
A few times I seem to have locked up the program, either from aborted transfers, or unknown causes. Sometimes using the abort.txt file fixed it. Sometimes I was able to telnet to 3105 and issue the exit command. Other times, however it wouldn't accept new connections and never responded and I ended up killing the process (and causing a TiVo reboot).
One file which NowShowing reports as 5GB shows up on the tmf directory as being only 1GB. When downloading it actually is splitting itself into 2 pieces. The first 1GB file gets then conflicts with the remaining 4GB file at the last moment. Download fails with a "Critical transfer error" message. I need to kill mfs using the abort.txt file to recover.
All other files seem to report the correct size. I don't know if this is a FileZilla issue or the mfs_ftp package. Let me know how I could trace down better debug info.
Thanks again for the great package.

I was one of the few experiencing the critical transfer errors. I have switched clients to WS-FTP and am having NO problems whatsoever. However, if I try to use filezilla, I still get that error.
I haven't had time to really debug this situation, but apparently it's a client issue, NOT necessarily an mfs_ftp error.
Hope you have luck fixing your problem.
Just wanted to be one of the folk that says thanks for all the work on this. It works great! mfs_ftp is the icing on the cake for the tivo network!

I have not yet attempted to re-insert a program, but I have a question regarding the process. Say I download a tmf file, extract the ty files from it, and then use cat to join the ty files into one big ty file.
If I replace the multiple ty files in the tmf with the large ty file I created and then re-insert the tmf file, will this work? I guess my question is whether or not the re-inserted tmf needs to have the same number and size ty files as the original tmf.
I don't think it will work if a pice is larger then 512M I don't know if it will work with multiple pieces smaller then that (it's designed around multiple 512M pieces plus one smaller piece at the end)
Can you put a cat'd ty back into a tmf and reinsert?
No. (unless you segment it into 512mb chunks and generate the required xml data for Now Showing to display).
Does it need the same sized segments to reinsert?
I'm running a stock Philips 20hr SA (no hd upgrades) with a turbo net card - anyone else got this setup?
I'm getting 500k/sec - which is fine, but I'm seeing others get 6x that speed.
Is my hub the limiting factor (compared to a switch), or the hard drive?
Riley - this is a truly great app - takes me 11 minutes for a half hour show at basic quality - takes about a minute in tytool 6r3 to convert it to a m2v which I can watch through media player.

Four Things to Know About Cupcakes
Artisan cupcakes are a relatively recent phenomenon, but cupcakes have been around for more than 200 years. Read on to learn more about the personal-sized pastry.
1. The origin of "cupcake" is straightforward . . . Simply put: they're baked in cups. As early as the 18th century, some cookbooks called for baking individual cakes in small earthenware teacups or similar vessels. Baking them in tins didn't happen until later, after gold rushers sought out other uses for their sifting pans.
2. . . . but there's another, equally plausible explanation. In the US, at least, the term also could have originated from the volume of ingredients used to make small cakes—a cup of flour and a cup of butter, for instance—much like the term "pound cake" referred to the ingredients' individual weights.
3. Thank HBO for the cupcake's resurgence. Many people attribute the recent popularity of cupcakes—once a mere staple of childhood—to a 2000 episode of Sex and the City, in which Carrie eats a cupcake from New York's famed Magnolia Bakery.
4. The flavors are limited only by imagination. Around the country, bakers have topped the diminutive delights with everything from candied bacon and heirloom tomatoes to chocolate-covered potato chips.

A password manager won't shield you against Heartbleed or the NSA, but it's an excellent first step in securing your identity, helping you increase the strength of the passwords that protect your online accounts because it will remember those passwords for you. A password manager will even randomly generate strong passwords, without requiring you to memorise or write down these random strings of characters. These strong passwords help shield against traditional password attacks such as dictionary, rainbow tables, or brute-force attacks.
Many password managers allow you to automatically populate your password vault by capturing your Web log-ins using a browser plug-in and allowing you to store these credentials. Other options for populating your password database include importing an Excel spreadsheet or manually entering your log-in information. Further, using these stored credentials is typically automated using a browser plug-in, which recognises the website's username and password fields, then populates these fields with the appropriate log-in information.
Although several browsers offer similar functionality out of the box, many password managers offer several benefits over the built-in browser functionality -- including encryption, cross-platform and cross-browser synchronisation, mobile device support, secure sharing of credentials, and support for multifactor authentication. In some cases, usernames and passwords must be copied from the password manager into the browser, reducing the ease-of-use but increasing the level of security by requiring entry of the master password before accessing stored log-in information.
Some password managers store your credentials locally, others rely on cloud services for storage and synchronisation, and still others take a hybrid approach. Some of the options using local storage (such as KeePass and 1Password) still support synchronisation through Dropbox or other storage services. Deciding which password manager is best for you will come down to features and ease-of-use, as well as to whether you're comfortable storing your passwords on the Internet.

If having your critical data stored in a cloud service worries you, then KeePass, 1Password, or SplashID Safe (sans SplashID's cloud service) offer the best options. If you trust cloud-based services with your passwords and believe they will really protect your data using good security practices and encryption, then LastPass, Dashlane, or PasswordBox are your best bets.
In my judgment, KeePass is the best of the options using local storage. The fact that it's open source, free, and complemented by countless plug-ins adds up to a very flexible option. With the right combination of plug-ins, KeePass can be made to do just about anything you could require of a password manager. My favorite cloud option is LastPass, primarily due to its low cost and the consistent implementation of features across all of the clients. Each LastPass client I tested was easy to work with, stable, and remarkably uniform from a usability perspective. Additionally, the fact that a LastPass Premium account is all of $1 per month makes it an extremely compelling option.
But one of these other options might suit you better. Really, you can't go wrong with any of these password managers.
Like KeePass, 1Password uses a local file to store encrypted passwords. AgileBits does not provide a cloud service for synchronisation with mobile devices, but 1Password does support synchronisation of the password vault using Dropbox (all platforms) or iCloud (Mac and iOS only). 1Password also supports synchronisation over Wi-Fi between Windows, Mac, and iOS clients. Because the 1Password vault is contained in a single file, you gain the convenience of a portable password vault without having to store your passwords on the Internet.
1Password clients allow you to create and maintain multiple password vaults. Multiple vaults can be used to share some of your passwords with another family member or coworker. Secure sharing between 1Password clients is supported, giving you a method to transmit a login (or any sensitive information, such as a credit card number or the answer to a website's security question) to another licensed 1Password user over an encrypted channel. Emailing login information in plain text is also supported, but this information is only as secure as your email traffic.
The cost of using 1Password is markedly different than cloud-based password lockers. Users must purchase clients for each platform they intend to use, costing more up front than a subscription service, but potentially saving money in the long term. 1Password for PC and Mac cost $49.99, while the universal iOS version runs $17.99. The Android app is free with in-app purchases, providing read-only access to your password vault until you purchase the upgrade. AgileBits also provides bundled options for purchasing 1Password for PC and Mac or a five-user family license.
My biggest concern with 1Password has to do with feature parity between the Mac and PC versions. Currently both platforms offer similar features, largely due to a massive update to the Windows version just days before publication of this article. Previously, features such as secure sharing or Wi-Fi sync were nowhere to be found. AgileBits has made good on promises to bring these features to all platforms, but if you're primarily a PC user, the lag may be cause for concern. Regardless, 1Password is a strong password manager. With AgileBits' strong ties to the Apple community, this is particularly true for Mac and iOS users.
Dashlane toes the line between cloud service and local password manager in an attempt to answer every security concern. You can store your password database on Dashlane's servers and take advantage of synchronisation across devices, or you can store your password vault locally and forgo synchronisation. It's your choice.
If you store your password database in Dashlane's cloud, your master password remains with you only. Rather than storing a hash of the master password on its servers, Dashlane claims to use your password merely to encrypt and decrypt the data locally. For this reason your password database on the Web is read only, and changes can solely be made on a client.
Authentication is performed against devices that are registered with Dashlane through a two-step process, incorporating your master password and a device registration code sent via email. Two pricing tiers are offered for Dashlane users. A free account allows access to your passwords through a single device of your choice. Premium accounts, which cost $29.99 per year, let you synchronise your passwords across multiple devices, give you access to the read-only Web app, and entitle you to Dashlane's customer support.
With Dashlane, retention of your master password is critical. The company states that it is unable to perform password recovery in the event of loss, a necessary side effect of its decision to not store a copy of your password in any form. Two-factor authentication is also supported through the use of Google Authenticator. Support for two-factor authentication must be enabled through the Windows or Mac client and can only be used on Internet-connected clients. Dashlane's secure sharing process combines an email containing a link and an access code, both of which expire within a short period of time. It's the best approach to secure password sharing I've seen.
Because Dashlane attempts to be a hybrid of a cloud-based and local password manager, it isn't as full featured as other cloud offerings, and it may not win over customers fearful of cloud services. However, Dashlane has been able to accomplish something truly remarkable through no small amount of ingenuity and attention to security precautions. Before you dismiss Dashlane because it's a cloud-based service, take a look at the company's security whitepaper, which details the concepts and security practices it has implemented.
Next section: Keepass
A mature open source project (GNU GPL version 2), KeePass is a free password management solution for Windows, OS X, or Linux, running natively on Windows and requiring Mono for the other platforms. Many of the benefits of open source software are prevalent in KeePass, including ports to other client operating systems and a robust plug-in ecosystem. With the extensibility offered by plug-ins for KeePass, you can change the encryption algorithm, automate logins through your browser, integrate an on-screen keyboard, or even create scripts you can run against KeePass.
KeePass was designed to store a local copy of the password vault. Cloud backup and support for synchronisation across multiple devices are obtained through plug-ins that work with the likes of Dropbox, Google Docs, and Microsoft OneDrive. A side benefit of a local password database such as KeyPass is the ability for multiple users to share a database or for one user to keep multiple databases, sharing some and keeping others private.
With KeePass, you can lock your password vault using a combination of password, key file, and Windows authentication.
Mobile support for KeePass is a little more obtuse than some of the commercial options. Ports are available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, but the big question becomes synchronisation support. Not all mobile ports support cloud synchronisation, and those that do support only a subset of the cloud options. Some mobile KeePass clients carry a cost, though most are in the $1 to $2 range.
If you're more concerned about the security of your password vault than mobile clients and device synchronisation, you'll be pleased to know that KeePass supports multiple authentication methods by default. KeePass database files can be locked by a combination of password, key file, and Windows user account. With a key file stored on removable media such as a USB thumb drive, two-factor authentication can be used to secure access to your critical passwords.
The biggest downside to KeePass is complexity. Getting all of the advanced functionality offered by the competition will require quite a bit of research, setup, and maintenance. While KeePass is a great solution for fans of open source, maximum flexibility, and free software, it is certainly not as straightforward as some of the cloud-based services listed here.
LastPass may be the most popular password manager in this review, due to a rich set of features, support for a wide range of mobile platforms, and straightforward licensing, not to mention aggressive marketing. Unlike KeePass, LastPass is decidedly cloud-centric, using its own cloud service to store user information and synchronise data.
LastPass offers a free and premium pricing tier for consumers, with the premium service costing just $1 per month. Users of the free edition get many of the basics you'd expect from a cloud-based service, including plug-in support for multiple browsers, anywhere access, and even support for multifactor authentication using Google Authenticator on an Android or iOS device or Microsoft Authenticator on Windows Phone. Mobile device support requires a premium account but includes support for iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone. Even some mobile browsers such as Dolphin and Firefox Mobile work with LastPass Premium to automate username and password entry. Finally, premium users get access to the LastPass support team, rather than being relegated to the user forums.
LastPass offers handy functionality for sharing accounts with friends and family. The free service allows you to selectively share account login information with other LastPass users, allowing them to authenticate to individual Web applications using your information, without giving them direct access to your passwords. Premium account subscribers get access to a Family Folder, a feature that lets you specify exactly which login information to share with up to five other LastPass users.
Desktop support for LastPass is somewhat confusing. Downloading the basic installer for Windows provides browser plug-ins, an import tool (for migrating from another password vault or spreadsheet), and a shortcut to the LastPass Web app. Premium subscribers also have access to LastPass for applications, which provides increased utility by allowing you to automatically log into desktop applications such as Skype or a corporate VPN client.
LastPass supports several forms of two-factor authentication. I've already mentioned that both Microsoft Authenticator and Google Authenticator are supported with free accounts, providing simple integration using a mobile device. Premium accounts gain support for Yubikey, a USB hardware authentication device, and Sesame, a software authentication tool run from a USB storage device.
If you need simple password management in a Web app, you can't go wrong with a free LastPass account. For more granular credential sharing and mobile device support, LastPass premium will be the best $1 you spend each month.
Next section: PasswordBox
PasswordBox bears a number of similarities to Dashlane. Master passwords are neither stored nor transmitted, meaning that password data is secured throughout the process, and password resets are technically impossible. PasswordBox even takes extra steps to ensure the security of your information in other ways, such as PCI-compliant data centers and providing the ability to send the company encrypted email using the PGP key published on its website.
PasswordBox is currently missing some of the features available in Dashlane, such as two-factor authentication, but both two-factor and fingerprint-based authentication are reportedly coming soon. You can read about the security measures PasswordBox uses to safeguard password data in the company's security whitepaper.
PasswordBox does not use stand-alone client programs on Windows and Mac, opting instead for browser plug-ins (Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer), but mobile apps are available for both iOS and Android. Another minor oddity: PasswordBox doesn't offer a Web app to view or edit passwords or manage your account -- everything is handled via mobile app or browser plug-in.
PasswordBox is priced competitively with the other cloud-based password managers. Free accounts support up to 25 stored passwords, including synchronisation and full sharing capabilities. Premium accounts cost $12 per year and give you unlimited password storage. Referring five friends nets you a premium account for life.
PasswordBox allows users (free or premium) to share saved log-in information seamlessly between accounts, even without the passwords being visible. Shared log-ins persist even through password changes, and they can be revoked at any time. An interesting and unique feature of PasswordBox is the Legacy Locker, which allows you to designate one or more responsible parties who get access to your account information in the event of your death. Account transfers using Legacy Locker are not performed until a death certificate is provided and validated.
For truly cutting-edge security, PasswordBox has partnered with the soon-to-be-released Nymi authentication device. The Nymi wristband measures your cardiac rhythm to offer three-factor authentication to PasswordBox -- using your master password (something you know), your Nymi wristband (something you have), and your heartbeat (something you are). The Nymi can be pre-ordered for $79, and it will include a premium PasswordBox account for life.
SplashID Safe
SplashID has been in the password manager business for years. Its product, SplashID Safe, has been particularly popular on mobile devices. Currently SplashID Safe supports access through the Web and client apps for Windows desktop, Windows 8, Mac, iOS, Android, Blackberry 10, and Windows Phone.
Where other password managers are either local or cloud-based, SplashID Safe supports either option. The SplashID cloud service allows you to synchronise your password vault over the Internet for $1.99 per month or $19.99 per year. For users who don't want to store their password vault in the cloud, SplashID is available in a version that supports manual synchronisation over Wi-Fi (for a one-time cost of $29.99) or a no-sync version for $9.99.
For an additional $5 per user per month, families or businesses can leverage SplashID Safe Teams edition, which adds an admin panel that allows you to control who has access to each record, either by assigning a record to an individual user or a group of users. Note that the Windows 8 client is not currently supported in the Teams edition.
SplashID Safe has at least one feature we wish all the cloud-based services would implement: the ability to configure a login as local only, giving you the ability to prevent your most sensitive data from being stored on the Internet. The idea is that if you have certain login information or other sensitive data you don't trust to the Internet, you can prevent this information from being uploaded to SplashID's servers.
SplashID Safe lets users share login information by sending an email containing a link to retrieve the information. Links to shared information are secured with a password (which can be included in the email or shared using another method), are valid for only 24 hours, and expire after the first use.
Two-factor support in SplashID only provides an extra layer of security when registering a new device (not on each login), requiring you to enter a six-digit code sent via email. While a registered device paired with a password technically meets the definition of two-factor authentication (something you have and something you know), it's not quite up to par with services offering support for Google Authenticator or other two-factor methods. SplashID Safe offers a pattern unlock feature as an alternative to a master password, but I found this feature to be somewhat inconsistent.
Next section: Other contenders
Other contenders
It's always nice when a security product is backed by a brand synonymous with computer security, and Symantec's Norton Identity Safe certainly has that factor in its favor. Identity Safe has another plus: It's completely free. You have a number of free password managers to choose from, but none are cloud services operated by a software vendor with a level of trust built up over decades. Norton Identity Safe used to be part of a Norton security suite, but it's now a stand-alone service with a Web front end and clients for Windows, iOS, and Android.
RoboForm is a popular password manager and form filler, but it falls short of the leading contenders on a few counts. Though it offers synchronisation across multiple platforms, there is no Web app, two-factor authentication, or sharing capability. Individual RoboForm desktop licenses can be purchased outright for Mac or PC at a price of $29.95, and a Windows portable version for USB storage is available for $39.95. RoboForm also offers subscription-based licensing for $19.95 per year, which provides synchronisation and access through mobile apps on iOS, Android, Windows 8, and Windows Phone.
KeePass isn't the only open source password manager. There's also Password Safe, currently available for Windows in both installable and portable versions, and for Linux in a beta version. Password Safe is not nearly as feature-rich or mature as KeePass, and I'd be hard-pressed to give you a reason to use it over its big brother. That said, Password Safe is a viable alternative, and if all you need is a local password manager, the decision may come down to which program you find easier to use. The result may be Password Safe.
My1Login has both a free version, supported through advertisements and affiliate links to partner sites, and a pro version, which eliminates the ads and affiliate links for $2 per month. My1Login offers features commonly found in the other contenders such as secure sharing and strong password generation. The problem with My1Login is that the entire service is Web-based, with mobile support coming through the mobile Web app only. While My1Login is enthusiastic about the minimal setup requirements due to the lack of client applications, I find this method to be more difficult to use in the long term.
Keeper Backup is full-featured password manager supporting multiple client platforms, including Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. Security features offered by Keeper Backup include two-factor authentication and secure sharing. Keeper offers three pricing tiers, starting with a free edition that supports one device, no sharing, and a limited amount of data. Keeper Backup provides unlimited storage, access to the Keeper Web app, secure sharing, and access to the support team for $9.99 per year. Backup Unlimited adds support for synchronisation across devices for a heftier $29.99 per year.
Trend Micro's DirectPass has a free option that supports only five passwords. Trend Micro's subscription service, which costs $14.95 for one year or $24.95 for two years, supports an unlimited number of passwords and devices. Desktop clients are available for both PC and Mac, and mobile clients are available for iOS and Android. While there's nothing wrong with DirectPass, it doesn't match other competitors in features or polish.

Slide observations - Promoting active learning, landscape appreciation, and critical thinking in introductory geology courses
S. J. Reynolds, S. M. Peacock
Journal of Gescience Education v46 no5 p421-426
The authors propose starting an introductory geology class by projecting an image showing the subject of that day's lecture in a geologic context. Rather than immediately telling the students what they are looking at, the instructor asks the students what they see and then asks leading questions to help them interpret it. Likewise, introduce specialized terms to the students after they have taken a shot at describing the feature without them.
