Star Wars: Episode VII
Producer Frank Marshall, who among many other connections to the Star Wars franchise is the husband of new Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, offers these general teasers on the directorial search:
"I do. But I can't reveal it, or I won't be alive tomorrow. [We have] a couple of candidates, but I don't know how soon that will be revealed. I'm really excited about this. I didn't grow up with it, but I was a big fan and have been since the series started. I'll always remember seeing that big mother-ship go over the screen. I've never forgotten it. I can't wait to see what's next."
He also says George Lucas' other property, Indiana Jones, is still theoretically chugging along towards a fifth film, but it's very much on the back burner now. [MTV]
Oz the Great and Powerful
Here's the latest poster for Sam Raimi and James Franco's Wizard of Oz prequel. [Coming Soon]
Rise of the Guardians director David Lindsay-Abaire gives this update on the Poltergeist remake, for which he has written the script:
Well, you know there's not too much I can say. I will say that I handed in a second draft and people are incredibly excited about it. They're not the director, but they're in search of a director. I will also say that there are very few people who are as obsessed with the original movie as I am, so I would try to write a script that I would want to see as a fan. I will say that.
There's more at the link, including his hints that this won't be a gory, Saw-style remake. [Collider]
Doctor Who
Courtesy of BBC America, here's a high-res photo, plus just about the vaguest possible synopsis for this year's Christmas special, which reintroduces new companion actress Jenna-Louise Coleman to the show and features the return of a few of the Doctor's old friends from "A Good Man Goes To War":
Following the epic mid-season finale, the Doctor gets in the holiday spirit in the all-new Christmas special written by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat (Sherlock). Accompanied by his newest companion, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman, the Doctor's latest adventure through space and time sees him once again crossing paths with the homo-reptilian Silurian Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh) and her cohort Jenny (Catrin Stewart).
Judging by the set photos, the episode should also see the return of Dan Starkey's Sontaran medic Commander Strax — or perhaps another Sontaran from his particular clone batch, considering Strax sure seemed to die back in "A Good Man Goes To War." But then, I really would have said the same of old Dorium, and look at how that turned out in "The Wedding of River Song."
Here's another promo for this Friday's episode, "Five-Twenty-Ten."
We can add two more names to a cast list that already includes Stargate Universe's Ming-Na and Agent Coulson himself, Clark Gregg — although I've got to say, even though that's been super officially confirmed, I'm not going to completely believe that one until I see some set photos or something. Anyway, joining the team is a pair of British actors, Hollyoaks actress Elizabeth Henstridge and The Fades star Iain De Caestecker. Henstridge will play "science whiz Agent Gemma Simmons", while De Caestecker is "Agent Leo Fitz, a technology guru", and the pair apparently "spend all their time together — mostly bickering — and are masters of their respective fields at a remarkably young age." Of course, one gigantic unanswered question still remains: whether that one dude playing Galaga will also return for the show. I will keep you updated as we learn more on that crucial topic. [Live Feed]
True Blood
Rob Kazinsky, best known for his work on the ultra-long-running British soap opera EastEnders, will reportedly have a regular role in the sixth season as Ben, described as "a highly charismatic faerie who takes a liking to Sookie (and vice-versa) and helps Sookie and Jason delve deeper into the mystery of their parents' murders." [TV Line]
Person of Interest
Here's a short description for the eighth episode, "Til Death", which airs November 29:
THE TEAM IS SPREAD THIN WHEN A HUSBAND AND WIFE'S NUMBERS BOTH COME UP, ON "PERSON OF INTEREST," THURSDAY, NOV. 29 — Mark Pellegrino Guest Stars as Daniel Drake, Whose Number Comes Up With His Wife's – The team is spread thin when a husband and wife's numbers both come up, on PERSON OF INTEREST, Thursday, Nov. 29 (9:01 – 10:01 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Mark Pellegrino guest stars as Daniel Drake, whose number comes up along with his wife's.
Here are some promo photos for next Monday's episode, "Kashmir." The official description is included below. [KSiteTV]
MILES LEADS CHARLIE AND THE GANG TO INDEPENDENCE HALL – Miles (Billy Burke) and the gang are bound for Monroe's (David Lyons) lair – Independence Hall, but their efforts are impeded when they begin to have difficulty separating fantasy from reality. Meanwhile, Danny (Graham Rogers) starts to grow suspicious of Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell).
Here's a promo for the midseason finale and twelfth episode overall, "Season of the Hexenbiest."
The increasingly unkillable ABC aliens comedy will reportedly feature a guest cameo from America's greatest living director: yes, people, Michael Bay himself is going to appear. The medium's foremost practitioner of making shit blow up real good (and also terrible, terrible comedy) will play himself and encounter the main cast at a club during an adults' night out. Say what you will about Bay, but this return to acting does provide him the long-awaited chance to build on his greatest creative triumph — you know, as that dude in Mystery Men who asks Geoffrey Rush whether they ought to bring their brewskis. [TV Line]
American Horror Story: Asylum
The true identity of Bloody Face, as revealed in tonight's episode, will reportedly be "disturbing and terrifying", in keeping with the whole American Horror Story oeuvre. [TV Line]
Here's another tease for tonight's episode:
Kit starts out the episode with a piece of good news, a first for him in Briarcliff. But as usual, his main concern is Grace and Sister Jude's plans to sterilize her. But Grace has other things to worry about, mainly her introduction to Kit's wife. Yes, the same wife that died in the first episode. Obviously there is a twist involved with their meeting, but let's just say Grace and Kit will be closer than ever by the end of the episode.
Here's a short description for the eighth episode, "Unholy Night", which airs December 5:
A murderous Santa wreaks havoc on Briarcliff. Sister Jude faces off with the Devil.. Meanwhile Arden has a shocking encounter in the Death Chute.
Having already brought Torchwood star John Barrowman into the mix, Arrow is now moving to incorporate another member of a beloved sci-fi franchise. This time around it's Seth Gabel, otherwise known as Fringe's Lincoln Lee, who will reportedly appear as a modified version of the DC Comics version Count Vertigo. This grittier, theoretically more realistic take on the character will cast Gabel's character as the purveyor of a deadly new drug in Starling City, and it's that drug which has picked up the name Vertigo. The episode should air in early 2013. [TV Line]
The thirteenth episode will reportedly introduce Halloway, described as "an imposing CIA black-ops agent who was sent to Lian Yu on a mission that didn't turn out so well and, as a result, now has major trust issues [which] tends to make an already dangerous man even more dangerous." [E! Online]
Here's a short promo.
The Vampire Diaries
Heroes and Californication actress Madeline Zima will reportedly guest star in the eighth episode of the season as Charlotte, a character thought to share a romantic past with Damon. Meanwhile, here's costar Candice Accola's take on what's ahead between Caroline and Hayley:
"She is definitely throwing a wrench in Caroline's perfect world and her perfect relationship with Tyler at the moment. If anything, we've learned at this point within the series that Caroline is a very resilient, strong character, so I don't think she's going to put up with it too easily."
[TV Line]
Falling Skies
The always welcome Jonathan Frakes has indicated he might be bringing a little bit of that Commander Riker charm to the show, as he tweeted that he will be doing something Falling Skies-related with show star Noah Wyle. Admittedly, it's probably at least as, if not more likely, that Frakes will be directing rather than appearing in an episode of the show's third season, but I say let's live dangerously and hope for the full Frakes acting experience. [Three If By Space]
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome
In case anyone is still interested in this attempted sequel to Caprica and/or prequel to BSG, which went from webseries to TV series to abandoned and now apparently all the way back to webseries, here's executive producer David Eick on the show's format:
"It was always developed, at least from my point of view, as a project for an online environment and it was something we would develop and structurally, narratively build as a 10 part serial. Kind of like the 'Raiders of the Ark' style adapted the 1930's style movie serials where you have 10 minutes of story and a cliffhanger followed by 10 minutes of story and a cliffhanger and after 10 of these episodes it would resolve itself and react structure as a whole movie. So when I set out to develop this, my thinking was to design a mission, sort of speak, of course once the characters and the overall ideas were approved by the network, a mission that could be, as missions are often are in the military sense, divided into 10 smaller missions."
There's some more from Eick at the link on just how this thing wasn't kicked around by Syfy nearly as much as you might think, and that this is more or less what was always meant to happen, most likely because of fate or angels or something, if my understanding of BSG is still correct. [Science Fiction]

In the past four or five days, a couple of pieces of information have developed around Covered California projects. The first is relatively easy to reference and encapsulate and certainly has the most immediate impact on public lbraries (as well as on anyone else seeking to access Covered California's website):
This Friday, November 22, through next Monday morning, November 25,the Covered California site will be offline. This press release came to all subscribers on Friday, November 15, and is also on Covered California's news tab as the lead story, but just in case it passed your library by, here is the full text.
A bit more complicated is a program that seems to have been communicated to some in the Covered California stakeholder community but which many libraries are now hearing in bits and pieces. Covered California has created a two-page flyer, titled "Partnering with Your Library," which has been circulated at least to those insurance brokers and other community members who have undertaken the grant funded "health marketplace assister" certification program. The flyer advertises the week of December 2 through 7 as a time when concerted effort should be made to do outreach to those who need health insurance through public libraries. So far, it does not appear that anyone on the library side suggested or agreed to this scheduling or that any communication was made to alert the library community to the conceptual development before the release of this flyer. However, some libraries are indeed receiving calls from assisters wanting to plan programs or other contact points within the local public library in keeping with the message the flyer bears.
So, what to do? First, make sure that your library's administration is apprised of such calls and that whatever your local policies may be concerning partnerships (which this program is designating itself in the Covered California Outreach and Education site) are applied. Next, be sure to cultivate the would-be partner as a potential asset in your library's own enrollment access efforts. However, given the brief window of planning time we have been given, it may well be that accommodating a prospective partner's outreach effort with space, program marketing or even access to group technology points for the first week of December just isn't feasible. In any case, this becomes a real opportunity to educate those involved with a specific program with how the public library can and can't partner and what all is entailed in a library partnership.
A challenge? Yup! And definitely a golden opportunity as well!

Yesterday morning, Heidi and Chloe left for Ontario. As Heidi is 15, they are old enough to fly together without anyone else and so they did.
I heard tell of a minor fiasco in Chicago; the girls inadvertently passed their seats while boarding the plane and had to fight the "traffic" going back the other way... only to sit in the wrong seats still and have to move! LOL That was the worst of what happened to them, so that is pretty darn good!
They didn't get to Holly's till quite late in the evening but as Holly's and Heidi's birthdays just passed, they made time before bed to do birthday presents.
Our presents to Holly were a pair of hot pink Doc Martens and a psychology dictionary. The girls each got Holly a MLP tin lunch box- inside of one was a cupcake/muffin t-shirt and inside the other was a pair of cupcake tea towels which Holly says are too cute to use as tea towels!
Holly got Heidi an LA Ink book signed by Cat VonDee (no idea if I spelled that right and not being a fan... well, I don't much care). But Heidi is a huge fan and was quite thrilled by the gift. Sigh. I just don't get tattoos and I never will.
Anyway, here are a few photos that they took at Holly's last night. I told Heidi and Chloe that they need to post things on their blogs too, so I can follow along. We will see if they do...

At the start of last month's Mille Miglia North America Tribute, Alain de Cadenet taught an impromptu physics lesson to the assembled crowd using a 1957 Ferrari 250 GT, a loose starting-platform cover, and some unsuspecting platform announcers.
Per Newton: An object in motion tends to stay in motion until acted upon. An object at rest likewise stays at rest. Alain de Cadenet's Ferrari is exuberantly in motion. The announcers — and the poorly-affixed checkered-flag/checkerboard surface on the starting platform — are at rest. As de Cadenet rolls up a bit too fast and spikes his brakes, the Ferrari's kinetic energy is effectively transferred to the platform surface. It is not effectively transferred to the announcers (high center of mass, rotational moment, etc.). The announcers are subsequently no longer at rest because of gravity acting upon them; note also that the heaviest of the group topples over at the same rate as the lightest.
This is why your grandmother never let you do the tablecloth trick at Thanksgiving. She just knew these things.

Tom Bagshaw –Canvas to pixels
"I never touched a computer until about ten years ago," says Bath-based artist Tom Bagshaw. "Up until that point I was still very much a traditional artist – set in my ways with acrylic, pen, pencil and airbrush."
Then he encountered Painter and Wacom tablets. "That change my whole outlook on using computers in your workflow," he says. "It allowed me to create work in a familiar way while cutting out the mess, shortening the time-span and easing delivery to clients."
The graphics tablet is key, he says: "You can kind of get away with not using one for some types of work but for painting it's such an intuitive way of working that if it didn't exist, I just wouldn't be working digitally."
Tom divides his work into two categories: 'pure' digital paintings, created almost entirely in Painter and others with painted elements but more graphic elements. However, he'll also dip into ArtRage, Illustrator and 3D software "when the need arises".
In his pure digital paintings, the Gothic colour schemes and solemn poses of his exquisite, sensual portraits are undercut with wit. Flashes of colour and extremely contemporary character design sometimes make it seem as though toys have escaped from a Japanese toyshop and are hiding out in a collection of Victorian photographs.
"My favourite tool in Painter is the oil brushes," says Tom. "Painter's brushes are quite amazing and I have a lot of custom brushes that I employ, but I do come back to a small selection of oil brushes which I've saved with quite minimal custom settings and use them for pretty much everything I do."
His mastery of digital brushes is indisputable, but he's currently contemplating experimenting with older forms again. "I hadn't even touched a paintbrush since I started working digitally," he says, "but I created a traditional painting for my solo show recently and I'm looking at getting back into it again."
Step by step: how Tom Bagshaw composes a painting
Working from a base sketch, Tom blocked out the basic face in ArtRage and worked up the fine details using the oil brushes in Painter. Then he painstakingly painted in the hair using layer masks and brush strokes in Photoshop, before layering gossamer-fine textures and brush strokes, set within more layer masks, for the clothing, all still in Photoshop.

With his numerous charity and humanitarian projects Jawad Hasnain a.k.a. Joe Hasnain has contributed a lot to the philanthropy work in Pakistan. He has supported various philanthropic and nonprofit organisations in the country that work towards the betterment of people in need. He has inspired many of the volunteers to reach out to people living in remote communities with no or limited access to the basic needs. Hasnain has supported many communities through education and by organising projects that include provisions of clean water supply, healthcare services, power supply, technological needs and housing support.
Pakistan is much affected by terrorism, bad economic conditions and lack of education facilities to everyone which is why the need of philanthropic leaders is much necessary. There have been several organisations such as the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) dedicated to working towards the improvement in the lives of the citizens and overall situations in the country but they can only do so much. PCP, established in 2001, works with a vision to engage the three sectors of society-business, civil and government to work together in a strong partnership for overall social development in Pakistan. The work of such organisations surely gets uplifted with the support of philanthropists like Jawad Hasnain.
"The lives of people living in Pakistan can only be improved if the people from other parts of the world come together and contribute towards change in the country. Any kind of support, whether in terms of a humanitarian project or financial is much helpful in improving the lives of those in need", says Hasnain in a statement. In the past few years, there has been an increase in volunteers, from Pakistan and now residential Pakistanis as well, supporting social and economic betterment in the country. "The best way to bring a change in the society is to bring awareness. There is a constant need to inform people about the importance of education, proper health services, and career options so that they can work for themselves too, while getting support from others", Jawad adds further.
Jawad urges the financially sound sector of the society to come forward and be involved in more philanthropic causes. He believes it is the utmost responsibility of a human being to help and support those in need if they are blessed with the resources. In the future as well, he is planning to be involved in more philanthropical projects in Pakistan and uplift the lives of the citizens.

Florida teenager's shooter faces deadline in court
ORLANDO, Fla. - Prosecutors in Florida want George Zimmerman to state publicly at a court hearing on Tuesday whether he will pursue his immunity defense in the 2012 shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin on the basis of the state's "Stand Your Ground" law, or waive his right to use it.
Prosecutors asked Judge Debra Nelson in a motion to remind Zimmerman "that should defendant in fact wish to waive any pre-trial immunity challenge under this statute, he may not attempt to do so later, particularly once trial has commenced."
Zimmerman will attend Tuesday's hearing, according to his lawyer, Mark O'Mara. However, O'Mara told Reuters he hadn't decided what he will do if the judge tries to question his client.
"I know the state would like to have that information, it seems. I don't feel compelled to advise anybody of my strategy in this case," O'Mara said.
Zimmerman goes on trial June 10 on a second-degree murder charge for shooting Martin after prosecutors say he profiled and confronted the unarmed black teenager, despite a police dispatcher instructing him not to do so. Zimmerman, 29, was a neighborhood watch volunteer at the time and Martin was walking back to a town home in the gated community in Sanford, Fla., in February last year.
O'Mara has talked publicly about pursuing immunity for Zimmerman under Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" statute, which bars prosecution of someone who is in fear of his life and shoots rather than retreats. O'Mara canceled a scheduled hearing earlier this month to make the case, but told Reuters he believes he has the right to raise the immunity defense at any time during the trial.
"If you can convince someone, a judge, by preponderance of evidence that you acted in self-defense, then you're immune, and that can happen however it happens," O'Mara said.
Prosecutors want to pin Zimmerman down on the record over waiving his right to pursue immunity in order to pre-empt the possibility that he might try to revive it after trial if he is found guilty, according to the motion. O'Mara said it would be difficult to raise the issue post-conviction.
Nelson also will hear a defense request to unseal a settlement between Martin's parents and the homeowner's association at The Retreat at Twin Lakes subdivision, where Martin was killed.
The association's insurance company at one point offered its policy limit of $1 million to the family, according to correspondence between the insurance company and association attached to the motion. The defense argues that the jury should be able to consider the financial interest of potential witnesses in the case.

My Favorite Episodes of Season Six
This might change after I've watched the whole season over again (which I can't do until I get the DVDs, THANKS A LOT, stupid DVR), but for now, these were my favorite episodes of this season.
"Weekend at Bobby's"
Dean's edge aside, I loved getting insight into Bobby's life. There was so much humor, and pathos, too, because my god, he must be lonely.
"Clap Your Hands if You Believe"
The story-of-the-week was delightful, with evil fairies and alien abduction and "crazy" people who knew what they were talking about. But really, the best part was seeing Sam freed of the constraints of hiding himself from everyone. It was a step beyond knowing why he was acting so strange, and I loved watching him acting at a whole new level.
"Appointment in Samarra"
Death is just an awesome character, and Dean's courage in seeking him was fantastic. It was great to see Tessa again, especially with her attitude toward Dean. She was a little tired of his defiance of the natural order of things.
From episode 15 on, things just got really good. "The French Mistake," because I love the meta. "My Heart Will Go On," because of the way they changed everything. I had to laugh that they were driving a Mustang, because of Kripke planning to have them drive that, and being told by his neighbor that it's a good car for pussies. "Frontierland" and "Mommy Dearest," finding ways to bring back old threads and old guests. Samantha Smith just rocks every time she's on.
"Let it Bleed" killed me, with Dean making that big sacrifice, and I will forever be impressed with Jared Padalecki playing FOUR different versions of Sam in "The Man Who Knew Too Much."
So that's my list of favorites. What's yours?

We are down also in Hungary
Down in Denmark as well. It seems like a general problem that support needs to solve.
Same... Very critical.
Same too in Russia Federation
Down in Australia too!?! Urgently need a fix as use TV to support my clients and they all waiting!
Same here in India as well
Same here in East Timor
Sorry - I can't do my job now. I guess I can just go home? (Melb, Australia - from all the posts its competely a WW outage.)
same here in Philippines. A teamviewer client. We use corporate account..
Sydney Australia here. Down as well....
Worst possible time really!
Same here Spain
See their status here. TV is down in Perth, WA.
Was connected just fine all day to my home work computer (I'm out of state). I tried to connect to my other PC at home and got the error. I tried a reboot on my local machine (laptop) and now I can't access any computer in my list. I'm assuming they must have gone down in the last few hours or something.
We are down also in Italy
In Belarus down too
Same in Australia as previosuly noted. Interesting to note that they take their phones offline too. Me thinks that this will be the biggest post of the day, unfortuantely for all of us.

Has anyone actually opened a support ticket regarding this issue?
I've been meaning to do so however to find the time has been a challenge. Will update when I do.
I have just done that, I think that it is a Teamviewer backend issue as we are all having the same kind of problem. None of my client remotes have updated TV and if I manually use IP addresses for computers on my LAN and not ID numbers. I can connect (they have options set for accepting LAN) but need to enter the unattended passwords I created for them manually too.
Same for my offices in California, Alabama, & Utah. I already opened a ticket with a paid corporate license.
same in Japan, too.
plz someone tell me how to solve this!!
Same here in Holland. Also getting message "Commercial Use suspected"....guess what I have a business license which can't connect. Thank you Teamviewer :(
Same problem, Sydney Australia. This has been going on for some hours now, not good enough when our customers depend on this system for support.
Funny thing is that status says everything is working...
Edit: Paid license here.
Also in Austria
Same here down in UAE as well.
That's the message I get too, suspected commercial use.
Maybe I shouldn't take it personal then, if everybody seem to have issues.

Denon MC7000...
话题: Denon MC7000 controller - Page: 1
That'll be the MCX8000 without screens, and not that much cheaper either. The one big advantage over the Pioneer controllers is that it has two dedicated mic channels.
We really need an up to date compact replacement for the MC6000 though. Again this is too big as it is (width x depth x height): 664mm X 378.2mm X 68.2mm where the MC6000 is (width x depth x height) 460mm X 315mm X50mm

If the built and sound quality of this is pretty much the same as the MCX8k, I see greater value on the dual USB audio inputs than the external displays/'engine' because for video DJs, a laptop is always a must anyways. Hence, a feature for standalone use is extraneous but a dual USB inputs offers more practical workflow possibilities.
This maybe what I need to go back to Denon. Got a MC6000 but my workhorse is a SX2 and I miss the upsides of the former (minus the size!)

We really need an up to date compact replacement for the MC6000 though.
I am also waiting for this. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on the 8000, but am still looking for a used 6000. There is no way I would buy a 6000MK2, as they took away some of the features of the original. I may end up getting another 6000, and wait until Mobile Beat in Vegas to see if something new comes out from Denon.

I also like the fact that the headphone monitor controls are on top of the unit rather than the front.

The asymmetrical layout is my main reservation with the unit, but I could probably get used to it in time.
How loose are the jog wheels compared to a DDJ-SX2? Loose enough to perform a good backspin?

since it is so similar, Is it presumptuous to assume that the 7000 mapping will be very similar to the 8K...just no screens right?

I too own the mc7000 and am waiting for it to have a mapping. Do you know for sure that it will be supported in the next build or is this just guesswork?

Fingers crossed that it's soon. I've created my own midi mapping which has pretty much everything mapped for 2 decks so I can wait..... (No led feedback though, and couldn't get pitch faders to map correctly. I'm using deck 3 & 4 upfaders as a workaround. Dodgy but it works!)

Anyone have any custom road case design ideas? I need a keyboard and mouse, I don't use the laptop shelf types, mostly because that's what everyone else does.

I have been trying around many note taker applications for Android and finally I settle down with Google Keep.
The one that I like most before Google Keep was "FreeNote" and it is very cool for the fact that you can convert your handwriting into smaller fonts that fits into the smaller space unlike other note taker software, where the handwriting eats up most of the space. But too bad that in overall it is not user friendly enough and keep popping up message to request you go for a non-evaluation copy.
Then, I came across this Google Keep by Google of course and have started using it until today.
What I like about Google Keep?
- It is synced with Google - you just need to go here: "https://drive.google.com/keep/" to retrieve all your notes. So technically, if you re-install or change phone, all your notes won't be lost.
- Very user friendly - Easy to take note. You can also create a check list note which I find it very useful. Also, you an insert picture and add notes to it (I seldom use this anyway). The notes are also very easy to read because it will automatically re-size to bigger fonts if you have a short note.
- Supported widget view - You can create a widget for it so you can view all your notes without open the Google Keep application. This is extremely useful if you want to have a quick look at your notes!
- Archive your notes - I'm using this feature to backup my notes especially for notes that are important but seldom refer to. I keep those notes into Archive. You can still view all notes in Archive when you need to, it is just that it won't be shown by default.
Why Not Perfect?
- No search function - Sometimes when your notes grow, you need to do a search but it doesn't have this feature. So you have to manually browse the notes to find it. Quite bad sometimes especially if you have plenty of notes. If Google can implement such feature into this Google Keep, that will make this application perfect!
- No Category or Label - To organize my notes, I need either category or label feature. No such thing can be done to organize your notes with Google Keep. Again, hopefully Google will implement it then it will make my notes much more organized.
In terms of priority, I would prefer the search function. Google, can you implement it?
[10/21/2013 - Update]: Sorry, the search function is already there. This Google Keep will be perfect if you can categorize your notes! :)
[11/15/2013 - Update]: Now I know why I said the search function is not there. I basically still can't search text within a note. I have a very lengthy note and it will be very hard for find what I look for if the search capability is not there.
You can download Google Keep here. Enjoy!

Free space optical communication has emerged in recent years as an attractive alternative to the conventional Radio Frequency (RF) approach. This emergence is due to the increasing maturity of lasers and compact optical systems that enable exploitation of the inherent advantages of the much shorter wavelengths characteristic of optical and near-infrared carriers.
Inherent advantages of optical communications:
- Large bandwidth
- Low probability of intercept
- Immunity from interference or jamming
- Frequency allocation relief
- Smaller, lighter payloads
For a conventional optical link, a good to high quality telescope that provides relatively accurate pointing and tracking capability and a robust laser with sufficient power, temperature stabilization, and requisite electronics are needed in addition to the usual modulation/demodulation and control and acquisition instrumentation and software.

Missy, see my Friday post on the early release…looks like you might get your hands on it quickly after all!
Matthew, the "what I learned" came from some questions I answered via email maybe five months ago. I wasn't really sure what it was for at the time, and I definitely didn't know I was going to be included in a feature like this.
Charissa, Kristie, and Lynnrush, thank you!

Patty, don't hurt yourself! Jumping without a sports bra can be very dangerous!
Xandra, I'm not sure if the list is in order or what. Now I have to go look at #3!

Vertically-stranded Color Work with Lorilee BeltmanExplore various ways that color can be added when contrasting stitches climb vertically from round to round. Always working in the round, we'll play with simple zigs and zags, intersecting lines for diagonal plaid, lines between lace, and purl-only columns that look like caterpillars. These techniques do not inhibit the elasticity of the fabric. We'll explore its sketchy history: it's used in Rovaniemi knitting, as a substitute for duplicate stitch in argyle, and it even appears in a Japanese stitch dictionary. After class, apply the coloring techniques to existing patterns worked in the round.
Materials fee: $3.
SuppliesYarn will be provided. To work in the round using #4 (worsted weight) yarn and a circumference of about eight inches, bring whatever needles you are currently comfortable using—DPN's, two circulars, or one 32" long circular for Magic Loop knitting. Choose one or two sizes smaller than you normally use with worsted weight wool—3.75 or 4mm/US 5 or 6, as we need snug stitches; blunt tipped tapestry needle.

Pharrell Williams
Pharrell Williams didn't only help change the face of pop music during the late '90s and early 2000s. He also was one of the faces of pop music -- as a charismatic star who often stole the show when producing and/or guesting on other artists' hit singles. His presence was unfading, whether he was in front of a music video or behind a beat. To trace the beginning of his ascent, you have to go back to 1992, when Teddy Riley tapped him to write a verse for Wreckx-n-Effect's "Rump Shaker." Since the late '90s, Williams and longtime friend Chad Hugo -- known together as the Neptunes -- began scoring songwriting and production assignments that slowly but steadily infiltrated mainstream music, whether it was via dance-pop (Britney Spears' "I'm a Slave 4 U"), hardcore rap (Clipse's "Grindin'"), or contemporary R&B (Babyface's "There She Goes"). Williams and Hugo were relatively obscure during the mid-'90s, doing spare work for the likes of SWV, Total, and Mase, but they would eventually develop a style that would become as recognized and as mimicked as that of fellow Virginia Beach native Timbaland. (Prior to stardom, all three producers were in a band together called Surrounded by Idiots.)
As the duo took on more work, Williams' voice became increasingly familiar. He was now more likely to provide the chorus and the background vocals of the same song, in addition to appearing in the video. (Hear/see Jay-Z's "Excuse Me Miss" and Snoop Dogg's "Beautiful" for two examples.) It wasn't until the summer of 2003 that he truly stepped out on his own. He released his first solo single, "Frontin'." Produced with Hugo and featuring a guest verse from Jay-Z, the song built anticipation for The Neptunes Present... Clones, a compilation of all-new tracks from artists produced by the duo. "Frontin'" was a ubiquitous summer hit and kept Williams' momentum running up to the release of Hugo and Williams' second funk/rock-oriented N.E.R.D. album, released in March 2004. Williams' first solo album, In My Mind, survived a number of delays and was finally issued in July 2006. The uneven set, produced by Williams alone, debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart.
Although Williams didn't release another solo album for eight years, his name, as well as that of the Neptunes, continued to carry much weight. The remainder of the 2000s was filled with commercially successful collaborations with the likes of Clipse, Britney Spears, Jay-Z, Solange, and Madonna. There was a handful of Grammy nominations, as well as a surprising 2007 win for Ludacris' "Money Maker" in the Best Rap Song category. N.E.R.D., who released their third album, Seeing Sounds, in 2008, remained an an occasional diversion.
The following decade began with a steady stream of activity. Williams was responsible for much of the music for the animated comedy Despicable Me. Along with outside production and songwriting work, Williams and Hugo put together Nothing, the fourth N.E.R.D. album. During 2011 and 2012, Williams produced most of Gloria Estefan's Miss Little Havana, dozens of cuts for R&B, rap, and pop artists, and tracks for two of the most praised albums of the early 2010s: Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City and Frank Ocean's Channel Orange. Williams won a Grammy for his role in the latter. The roll continued through 2013. "Blurred Lines," a Hot 100 chart-topper from Robin Thicke, featured Williams as producer, co-songwriter, and featured artist. He co-wrote and fronted "Get Lucky" and "Lose Yourself to Dance," two songs from Daft Punk's number one Billboard 200 album Random Access Memories. The soundtrack for Despicable Me 2 contained several Williams songs, led by "Happy," for which he conceived a 24-hour music video. When the nominees for the 2014 Grammy Awards were announced, Williams' name appeared in seven categories. "Get Lucky" won Record of the Year, Random Access Memories won Album of the Year, and, most notably, Williams won the award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. Williams signed to Columbia, home of Daft Punk, and released his second album, G I R L, in March 2014.

Four Experts Weigh In08 March, 2012 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
There's a spectrum of concerns related to the privacy of employee data: At one end of the continuum, employers may have basic questions about whether it's OK to send employee data across national borders to produce a holistic view of the company-wide workforce. Thankfully, there are clear guidelines for how to do this without running afoul of the data privacy laws. At the other end of the spectrum, however, are a host of new issues that companies will need to think about: 1. The growing use of social media creates massive amounts of new, employee-related data—both personal and professional —and raises questions about appropriate use by employers. 2. The emergence of "big data" will transform many aspects of business and competitive strategy. What might "big" HR data look like? How could it be used? 3. As more and more computing shifts to the cloud, internal IT staffs may shrink accordingly. Can companies count on external safeguards to protect the privacy of their employee data, or does cloud computing pose greater risks?
In this webcast, we'll discuss the spectrum of employee data privacy issues, from the familiar to the far-out. Hear four leading experts in human capital data, analytics and strategic workforce planning share their perspectives on what you should worry about—and not.

Baylor QB Petty has 2 cracked small bones in back
WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty has two cracked small bones in his back.
Petty had an MRI on Monday, a day after taking an early shot to his back and playing only the first half of the 10th-ranked Bears' season-opening 45-0 win over SMU.
The diagnosis was two cracked transverse processes, small bones that stick out from each side of a vertebra.
Coach Art Briles said during the Big 12 coaches teleconference that the reigning Big 12 offensive player of the year is day to day.
Baylor, which didn't practice Monday, is home Saturday night against Northwestern State.
Petty was hit in the back on his first series Sunday night. He still threw for 161 yards and two touchdowns, and added a 5-yard TD run for a 31-0 halftime lead.
The quarterback was clearly in discomfort, often clutching at his lower back. He grimaced and was slow getting up after taking a shot going into the end zone on his scoring run, but played two more series after that.
While he was 13-of-23 passing, Petty uncharacteristically missed open receivers on several throws he usually completes. Petty threw for 4,200 yards with 32 touchdowns and three interceptions last season, when he completed 62 percent of his passes.
"I was battling through some stuff that whole first half. I couldn't really plant and throw as well as I wanted to," Petty said after the game. "Every time I planted, I could feel it."
Petty insisted he was already feeling a lot better after the game and could have played more if needed.
"It's nothing that serious," he said. "Everything's good."

You shopped around and found a credit card with a decent interest rate. You know that rate can go up if you pay late or go over your credit limit, so you're careful to follow all the rules. Guess what? It doesn't matter. These days, you can be the perfect customer and still get socked with a higher rate.
Consumer Action, a nonprofit education and advocacy organization based in San Francisco, released its 2008 Credit Card Survey today. Of the 22 major financial institutions contacted, 17 (that's 77 percent) said they reserve the right to increase a cardholder's interest rates — even on existing balances — at any time and for any reason.
Consumer Action callers (posing as ordinary consumers) were told the interest rate could be adjusted for such nebulous reasons as "market conditions," "the economy" or "business strategies." In other words, if the bank wants to make more money, it can just jack up your interest rate.
"If a car dealer was having a bad year, he couldn't raise the interest rate on my car loan, but a credit card issuer can do that," says Linda Sherry, Consumer Action's director of national priorities.
Sherry says credit card customers at Bank of America and Capital One have already seen rate hikes based on the "market conditions" loophole.
"We consider this to be an abusive practice," says Ruth Susswein, who co-wrote the survey report. She says the practice is particularly bad because the higher interest rate applies to both future purchases and the current balance. You can close your account or stop using the card if you object to the rate hike, but you still have to pay off the balance at the new penalty rate.
"You cannot know how much it's going to cost you to pay back a credit card balance if you agree to one interest rate when you accept a card and find that the rate changes later on when you're still paying off the balance," Susswein says.
It's not easy to avoid the anytime/any reason rate hike. Most of the top 10 card issuers now have that provision in their contracts.
Lots of reasons for rate hikes
All sorts of things can send your interest rate soaring to what's called the "default" rate, the highest rate charged. These include: a drop in your credit score, late payments to another company, too many credit cards, too much debt or too many inquiries on your credit report.
Consumer Action says the average default rate is now 26.87 percent, up from 24.51 percent in 2007. HSBC had the highest default rate in the survey at 31.99 percent. Simmons First had the lowest at 15.25 percent.
Once you trigger the default rate you could be stuck with it. It's what Consumer Action calls "default rate purgatory." Some issuers will consider giving you a rate reduction if you have a good payment history for six months to a year. But this is not automatic. You have to call customer service and ask to have an account review.
Cutting your credit limit
Your credit card company regularly checks your credit score to see if you've become a greater credit risk. This information is used to decide whether to raise your interest rate (universal default) or to reduce your credit limit.
Customer service representatives at American Express, First Command, US Bank, Washington Mutual and Wells Fargo told the Consumer Action surveyors they reduce credit limits when they believe someone becomes a riskier customer. The factors that would trigger this action include late payments, balances that are too close to the credit limit or a drop in the cardholder's credit score.
A series of bad things can happen if you don't realize your credit limit has been lowered. You could be hit with an over-the-limit fee, and then be hit with a penalty interest rate for being over your limit.
A lower credit limit can also negatively impact your credit score because it looks like you are using more of your available credit. Statistically you've become a riskier customer, even if you pay on time and stay within your credit limit. That could trigger the universal default clause, which results in a sky-high penalty interest rate.
For the first time this year, Consumer Action surveyed — or at least tried to survey — the top credit unions. Susswein tells me in many cases it was "very difficult and in some cases impossible" to get information. When the surveyors were able to reach someone who could help, the credit union's rates and terms were generally better than the competition.
Few credit card companies give consumers the right to say "no" to a rate increase. But five of the lenders Consumer Action surveyed said customers could reject a change in terms — without paying off the balance in full — if they contacted customer service within a specific time period. These issuers are: Capital One, Chase, Citi, Town North Bank, and US Bank. For this reason alone, you might want to consider a credit card from one of these companies.
My two cents
The Consumer Action survey proves once again that the credit card industry in this country is out of control. Something is very wrong when lenders can change the terms of deal — for any reason — after you've agreed to it.
Congress has repeatedly promised action. Lawmakers held hearings and drafted bills. It's time to pass legislation that will outlaw these unfair and abusive practices.
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), sponsor of the Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights, has this to say: "Consumer Action's findings on card companies' any time/any reason repricing practices are unfortunately anything but surprising. Consumers will tell you that card companies can — and do — change their minds at any time and for any reason.
"A credit card agreement is supposed to be a contract between a card company and a cardholder — but what good is a contract when only one party has any power to make decisions? Cardholders deserve more bargaining power – and my bill would give them that bargaining power."
Write your senators. Tell them to support the credit card bill in the Senate Banking Committee. Write your representatives. Tell them to support the Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights in the House. Speak up. Good customers should not get caught by credit card traps.

Jan. 10, 2013 -- A Cleveland stripper died after attempting a tricky move during a lap dance that caused her to fall 15 feet from a balcony, according to MetroHealth Medical Center.
Lauren Block, 22, died Wednesday from major head trauma. She'd been in critical condition since her Jan. 2 fall, said the medical center.
Block's family released the following statement:
"We would like to thank the community for their outpouring of support and prayers for Lauren. She ... is an organ donor, and we hope this will enable her to save many lives and live on through others. We would like to express our gratitude to the staff at MetroHealth. They worked tirelessly to do all they could to save her life. We ask that the media respect our privacy during this difficult time. We know that she's in God's hands."
Block was entertaining a customer on the second floor of Christie's Cabaret at 12:40 a.m. on Jan. 2 when she attempted a "jump-dance" move that misfired, the man getting the lap dance told police.
"He stated that she grabbed the rail, as he was facing away from the balcony, and she tried to complete some sort of jump-dance move, and accidentally went head first over the rail," a Cleveland Police Department incident report said.
Block suffered "massive head trauma" and was lying on the floor of the club when police and paramedics arrived, according to the report.
She was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, where she was listed in critical condition for a week.
Cleveland Police said they were no longer investigating the incident, which they view as an accident.
Christie's Cabaret, a chain of "Gentlemen's clubs," has not responded to ABC News' requests for comment.

I've been using a pre-release "daily build" installation of Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" and noticed that current default for Gnome is for windows to resize themselves when you get close to the edge of the screen. I have two 22″ widescreen monitors and if I moved a window near the top edge it would maximize and fill the screen. If I moved a window to any edge Gnome would decide for me that what I "really" wanted was to enlarge the window to fill half the screen or do something else equally annoying. This might work well on a 10″ netbook screen, but on dual 22″ monitors it's annoying as hell.
I tracked the problem down to a setting in Compiz, the screen compositing tool used by many Linux desktop environments, so if you're using KDE or Unity with Compiz and you're finding self-resizing windows irritating this fix should work for you as well.
To fix the problem you need to install the CompizConfig Settings Manager, so fire up Synaptic Package Manager and search for "compizconfig-settings-manager" and install it.
Once installed, if you're using Gnome go to Applications > System Tools > Preferences and click "CompizConfig Settings Manager" to start the tool.
Scroll down to "Window Management."
Uncheck "Place Windows".
Leave "Grid" checked, but click the word "Grid" to get the Grid settings, then go to the Edges tab and change all Resize Actions to "None".
Click Back.
Now your desktop will do what you tell it to do, rather than second-guessing you and doing something that you do not want.
One thing that you can now do (that you probably really don't want) is to have the title bar (and it's controls) move off-screen, which means you can't move or resize the window unless you Alt-right-click on it. To fix that issue:
Check the "Put" plugin.
Click the word "Put" to bring up more options, go to the "Misc Options" tab, check "Avoid Offscreen", click Back, then Close Window.
Hope you find this useful.Follow earlruby

This week in the world of cartoons, Clone Wars continues the David Tennant saga and tosses the Younglings into their first adventure while Regular Show and Adventure Time return!
As always - minor spoilers ahead!
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – "Bound for Rescue"
The Younglings are on their own! The Younglings infiltrate the pirate base, while Obi-Wan Kenoni is reunited with General Grievious this week.
Gunji shows off his lightsaber in the first clip - he might be my new favorite Star Wars character.
Ahsoka is in danger, leading the Younglings (with their newly created lightsabers) to set out to find her.
David Tennant makes an appearance in this episode as well, an episode which also sees Kenobi face Grievous in a lightsaber duel.
Adventure Time – "Finn the Human & Jake the Dog"
Adventure Time kicks off with a two episode block that picks up where Season Four ended, continuing the story of Finn and Jake chasing The Lich.
In the first of these episodes, Finn wishes the Lich out of existence, leading to an alternate timeline.
In this alternate world, Jake and Finn are separated, so Jake falls in with Prismo.
Prismo knows that Jake can change everything back if he makes the correct wish, but will he?
Regular Show – "Bald Spot"
It's Muscle Man and Starla's one year anniversary, so Muscle Man tries a little grooming and gets a haircut.
In the process, the barber leaves a nice little bald spot on Muscle Man's head and Muscle Man handles the hang-up really well.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic – "Too Many Pinkie Pies"
Pinkie Pie doesn't like making decisions, so she uses a magic mirror to clone herself so that she can spend more time for friends. Do we really need an Equestria full of Pinkie Pies?
This is probably the shortest clip we've ever shown on SMC, but it has some really interesting imagery.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – "The Gauntlet"
April gets a message from her captive, leading the TMNT+1 to set on a quest to save him.
This mission leads them into the hands of Kraang, who is threatening to detonate a mutagen bomb.

Network Working Group B. Wellington Request for Comments: 3655 O. Gudmundsson Updates: 2535 November 2003 Category: Standards Track Redefinition of DNS Authenticated Data (AD) bit Status of this Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2003). All Rights Reserved. Abstract This document alters the specification defined in RFC 2535. Based on implementation experience, the Authenticated Data (AD) bit in the DNS header is not useful. This document redefines the AD bit such that it is only set if all answers or records proving that no answers exist in the response has been cryptographically verified or otherwise meets the server's local security policy. 1. Introduction Familiarity with the DNS system [RFC1035] and DNS security extensions [RFC2535] is helpful but not necessary. As specified in RFC 2535 (section 6.1), the AD (Authenticated Data) bit indicates in a response that all data included in the answer and authority sections of the response have been authenticated by the server according to the policies of that server. This is not especially useful in practice, since a conformant server SHOULD never reply with data that failed its security policy. This document redefines the AD bit such that it is only set if all data in the response has been cryptographically verified or otherwise meets the server's local security policy. Thus, neither a response containing properly delegated insecure data, nor a server configured without DNSSEC keys, will have the AD set. As before, data that failed to verify will not be returned. An application running on a host that has a trust relationship with the server performing the Wellington & Gudmundsson Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 3655 Redefinition of DNS AD bit November 2003 recursive query can now use the value of the AD bit to determine whether the data is secure. 1.1. Motivation A full DNSSEC capable resolver called directly from an application can return to the application the security status of the RRsets in the answer. However, most applications use a limited stub resolver that relies on an external recursive name server which incorporates a full resolver. The recursive nameserver can use the AD bit in a response to indicate the security status of the data in the answer, and the local resolver can pass this information to the application. The application in this context can be either a human using a DNS tool or a software application. The AD bit SHOULD be used by the local resolver if and only if it has been explicitly configured to trust the remote resolver. The AD bit SHOULD be ignored when the recursive name server is not trusted. An alternate solution would be to embed a full DNSSEC resolver into every application, but this has several disadvantages. - DNSSEC validation is both CPU and network intensive, and caching SHOULD be used whenever possible. - DNSSEC requires non-trivial configuration - the root key must be configured, as well as keys for any "islands of security" that will exist until DNSSEC is fully deployed. The number of configuration points should be minimized. 1.2. Requirements The key words "MAY", "MAY NOT" "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 1.3. Updated documents and sections The definition of the AD bit in RFC 2535, Section 6.1, is changed. 2. Setting of AD bit The presence of the CD (Checking Disabled) bit in a query does not affect the setting of the AD bit in the response. If the CD bit is set, the server will not perform checking, but SHOULD still set the AD bit if the data has already been cryptographically verified or Wellington & Gudmundsson Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 3655 Redefinition of DNS AD bit November 2003 complies with local policy. The AD bit MUST only be set if DNSSEC records have been requested via the DO bit [RFC3225] and relevant SIG records are returned. 2.1. Setting of AD bit by recursive servers Section 6.1 of RFC 2535 says: "The AD bit MUST NOT be set on a response unless all of the RRs in the answer and authority sections of the response are either Authenticated or Insecure." The replacement text reads:Show full document text

In this section
Nature provides the ingredients for Aberdeenshire's "water of life".
Whether it's the toasted barley from the fertile farmlands, the ice-clear mountain water from burns and springs, the smoky peats and heather honey from heath and moors, or simply the sparkling fresh air – the whisky distilleries are busy bottling the essence of this beautiful place.
Off the tourist track you'll find "The Secret Malts of Aberdeenshire", produced by a cluster of distilleries dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Here visitors can get right up close to traditional skills in rural settings among picturesque villages, wooded hills and rolling fields at places like the Fettercairn or GlenDronach distilleries, out on the coast for Glenglassaugh (its fans say you can taste the sea), or into the Cairngorms for Royal Lochnagar.
In winter, perhaps you'll take a wee dram or two at a special tasting of Glen Garioch – by a roaring fire in a traditional granite-walled bothy.
This is the stuff that makes memories. Cheers min!
If you are looking for extra inspiration to visit our region for whisky, the fantastic Whisky Galore! shows the stunning landscapes of Portsoy and Pennan. Released in May 2017, it's certainly worth a watch!

The five signs your business is ready for the next level
Whatever business you're in, it's not a case of where you go from here, but how you grow from here. Every company needs a clear-sighted growth strategy, but sometimes, smaller business owners are too close to their business – and, frankly, too busy – to draw up and action a credible growth plan for the next two, three, five or 10 years.
That's because many business owners are entrepreneurs at heart, not administrators. For them, the thrill of starting a business can be greater than the process of running it. If you can answer yes to the following questions, then your company may be ready to kick on dramatically – through investment, expansion or through acquisition by another organisation…
1. Are you turning away work?
It's a great problem to have, but if demand for your products or services is outstripping your ability to supply them, then your business needs to take action. We hate to say it, but it won't be long before potential customers start going somewhere else…
2. Are your customers household names?
Whatever the sector, working successfully for major organisations often creates a 'domino effect' of referrals and new business. And this means cross-selling opportunities. How often have your customers asked you, "I know it's not really your area, but could you just take a look at this for me…"
3. Are you pitching against the big boys – and winning?
Once you aspired to be like them, but now you are tendering for the same work as your larger competitors, and beating them to the contract, too. Whatever you do, it's clearly working – but maybe due to your size, you still find the really big jobs are just out of reach…
4. Do you need to recruit more staff?
Bringing in new expertise in new fields – or simply expanding your existing headcount – is of course a clear sign your company is growing fast. But it's also an indication that your company is transforming itself from within, as a great team will bring its own ideas, contacts and methods, and that will accelerate growth, too…
5. Do you need more hours in the day?
Many business owners know exactly what to do to grow the business, but don't have the time or cash to make it happen. One of the biggest frustrations of BCMS clients is that they can't justify committing the necessary resources to supercharge their company. And no-one wants a boss that keeps saying "If only…"
The acclaimed BCMS seminar offers tips, advice and techniques on the business sale process.

What's Up for July 2012?
How about See the Milky Way from a dark sky, Mars and Saturn too.
Jane Houston Jones: What's Up for July. The Milky Way rises in the East and Mars and Saturn sink lower in the West.
Hello and welcome. I'm Jane Houston Jones at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
If you haven't been under a dark sky for a while, July's a great month to make a getaway.
Many parks have astronomy programs at night and dark conditions to show off the summer skies.
In the southern sky you'll see the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius separated by the core of our Milky Way galaxy.
Even with a pair of binoculars, you'll find star clusters and knots of nebulae.
Just aim at the brighter, clumpy areas.
On the other side of the sky, watch a planetary pairing unfold.
Mars moves closer to Saturn this month, preparing for their planetary meetup in August.
Saturn, with its rings wide open, is larger and brighter than Mars.
Sound: Whoosh of spacecraft.
Jones: On August 5 they'll make a pretty pair, just in time for the landing of NASA's rover Curiosity on the red planet. That's at 10:31 p.m. Pacific Time on the 5th, or 1:31 a.m. Eastern Time on the 6th.
Early risers will witness a vertical line dance all month long starring red Aldebaran, bright Venus, the Hyades star cluster, Jupiter and the Pleiades.
The crescent moon joins the party July 14 through the 16th.
Send yourself a reminder to step outside on the evenings of July 24th and 25th.
That's when the waxing moon pairs up with Mars, Saturn and Virgo's great white star Spica.
To find a summer sky viewing event held by an astronomy club near you, check out the Night Sky Network map.
You can learn about all of NASA's missions, including next month's landing of the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity, at w w w dot NASA dot gov.
That's all for this month. I'm Jane Houston Jones.

The developmental years! The child years! Nothing happened! I never developed! Although I wanted to and expected to! And could not wait to be apart of my life! I assumed I would be developing! I got stuck with sycophants!
Im attempting to find out whats blocking me from relationships and activities!
For example!
I see a women and she's checking me out! What do I do?! Why would I ask this question! Whats really blocking me? Something is blocking me! Im seeing inadequacy as a problem! Im seeing sex as a problem! Being touched as a problem, poverty as a problem! Why would anyone want to get involved with me unless they really understood what was going on! It will cause more pain in the long run if they go out with me then dump me! I dont want more of that!
Understanding from a women is more important then pussy! Or, they are both equal!
I need a women who understands! If not; it will never get of the ground!
I knew a guy that got rid of his wife and found a new girlfriend! He was asked why he left her? He said; " she loved me, cared for me, took care of me, and all the details"! Why then did he leave her! He said she didn't understand him and the new women did! He would rather have understanding then love! And I agree! I need to be respected for who I am first, then we talk about love!
I does not work for me! " you just a poor teddy bear"! This type of talk does not work with me! Ive got real problems; I don't have time for this nonsense!
If you don't know something, ask!
How do I get new parents, a new house, new friends, new best friend! New school, and have new developmental years! How! Thats what Im asking God!

It proved to be a disappointing day for Teitur Thordarson's side, as the Blue and White were forced to play nearly the entire match with ten men after winger Tyrell Burgess was red carded after just two minutes of action. Though they performed well and created chances during the match, the hot conditions were a challenge for the 'Caps, who were playing their first-ever match on the African continent. Thordarson gave Whitecaps number one Jay Nolly the start in goal versus Yanga, while the Icelandic tactician partnered Wesley Charles with Mason Trafford in the centre of the Whitecaps backline. Strikers Charles Gbeke and Marlon James earned starts up front for the Canadian visitors. Looking to make a positive start to their set of friendlies in the East African nation, the Whitecaps found themselves down to ten men after Burgess reacted to a strong tackle from Amir Maftah just two minutes after the kickoff. The match referee deemed the Bermuda international's actions to be worthy of a red card and duly gave the young midfielder his marching orders. Though a man down, the Whitecaps remained undeterred and created a couple of first-half opportunities through Gbeke. The Canadian international was unfortunate not to convert a cross from strike partner James at close range before the former Montreal Impact forward misfired with another strike in the Yanga box, despite being in a fine goalscoring position. It was Yanga that broke the deadlock on 37 minutes when striker Tegete finished at the near post after a cross into the Vancouver box. Tegete then doubled Yanga's lead three minutes later with a goal of similar fashion to the first, though the Whitecaps felt aggrieved that the goal was not called back for offside. Though they were two goals down at the break, the 'Caps kept searching for their first-ever goal of the trip, with James coming closest to scoring in the second half for Vancouver. The Yanga goalkeeper denied the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines captain from getting on the scoresheet when he stopped his goal-bound header, while the Whitecaps striker hit the woodwork with a solid strike in the game's dying stages. Yanga sealed victory with a third goal on 65 minutes. Nolly made two saves at close range before Baraza converted the chance at the third time of asking for a 3-0 final score. Though the result was disappointing, Thordarson felt his players benefited from their first friendly in Tanzania, as the squad continue to prepare for the 2009 season. "I'm very happy we played this game today because it was a decent contest against a very good opponent," he told whitecapsfc.com. "I would have liked us to have created more chances because we kept the ball quite well today. Yet, being a man short, we had to work hard to stay in the match and we certainly got tired towards the end. Nonetheless, there was a lot that we were able to take out of today's game." The Whitecaps will look to rebound from Monday's defeat when they meet Yanga's arch-rivals in fellow Dar es Salaam-based outfit Simba SC on Thursday afternoon. Thordarson's side complete their three-match schedule in East Africa when they take on Tanzania's national team on Saturday. Vancouver Whitecaps FC Jay Nolly; Luca Bellisomo, Wesley Charles (Wes Knight 87'), Mason Trafford, Takashi Hirano (Justin Thompson 70'); Tyrell Burgess, Martin Nash (Gagandeep Dosanjh 82'), Kenold Versailles, Vicente Arze (Gordon Chin 75'); Charles Gbeke (Ansu Toure 70'), Marlon James Subs not used: Diego, Alex Semenets

Judges (Program #3) – The Miserable History of Israel's Forsaking God (2)
If God's people are to enjoy all the benefits of their relationship with Him, it is necessary for them to maintain this relationship in a proper way. In reality God is the king, the unique husband and the Head over all things. That means His people must be under Him, submissive and subject to Him in a tender and intimate way . But in much of the history of God's people they rejected Him in His headship always resulting in a condition of His people falling lower and lower and been evidenced by defeat after defeat at the hands of the various enemies of God's people. At such times we occasionally see Jehovah acting in an extra ordinary way to jolt his people into the realization of their actual condition. Such a time existed in the book of Judges after the death of Joshua, God chosen leader over Israel as the people turned away from Him and their enemies began to prevail, God responded by raising up not a mighty king to lead Israel back to victory but rather He raised up Deborah, a female. Though she was very capable, she was the one who lived in submission and in subjection to Him.

Upon video review, B.J. Upton's homer ruled double
PHILADELPHIA -- After rounding the bases with what he thought was his first home run in more than a month, Braves center fielder B.J. Upton found himself on the wrong end of the reversal that followed a replay review at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday night.
Upton was initially awarded a home run when he began the fourth inning by driving Phillies lefty Cliff Lee's first-pitch fastball to right-center field. The ball deflected off a fan's hand as it cleared the metal railing that stands at the top of the outfield wall.
Upon request from Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, umpires went to the video room to determine whether the ball would have cleared the wall without the fan's interference. After a lengthy review, the umpires returned to the field and reversed their call, leaving Upton with a ground-rule double.
Upton, who returned from the disabled list Saturday, has not homered since hitting two against the Giants on June 15. After returning to second base, Upton scored on a Jason Heyward two-out single that gave the Braves a 3-1 lead.
"I looked at it," Upton said after Atlanta's 4-1 victory. "It's debatable. But I guess they thought otherwise. We ended up scoring -- that's all that matters. It would have been a little more frustrating if we hadn't come across a couple runs that inning."
In the bottom of the second, the Braves benefited from the umpiring crew's decision to reverse a home run that was initially awarded Carlos Ruiz. After a quick video review, the umpires determined that Ruiz's drive to left field did not clear the metal railing atop the outfield wall before bouncing back into play.
