Are you having problems determining periodic payment due on your loan? Well, you are at the right place. We are equipped with professional staff and best amortization calculators to render quality loan amortization services to esteemed customers. Our calculation to arrive at the first periodic payments assumes your loan payment is not due on the first day but rather one full payment period into the loan. We ensure each customer is provided with an amortization schedule where each payment on an amortizing loan is shown. It includes how much of each payment is interest and amount going towards the principal balance.
Since people are less informed on mathematical calculations involved in creating this schedules, we provide the step by step calculations we do to customers for easy understanding. This also helps customers keep track of their Loan repayment statistics. Our loan amortization calculator ensures your loan amounts are adjusted until your monthly payments fit comfortably in your budget while varying of interest rates to see the difference a better rate. Our amortization calculator helps you work out how long it may take for you to pay your loan. Through the process we also amortize your debt e.g. a mortgage, and display your payment breakdown of Interest paid, principal paid and loan balance over the life of a loan. Each calculation we conduct shows you amortization tables with complete amortization schedules for the loan. You can view the amortization table either yearly or monthly.
For Instance, let's say you want to purchase a new home for $300,000 with a $50,000 down payment. Your bank agrees to give you a mortgage of $250,000 at a fixed interest rate of 5% for 30 years. We help you determine your monthly payment, how much money you are going to pay towards Interest and each month's principal. Let's find out. First of all we determine for you the number of total payments you will make. In the example above, you have to make one payment per month for 30 years. This means you will make 360 payments over the course of the mortgage i.e. (12X20.360). Secondly, we help you determine your monthly payments. explore transfer pricing definition which impacts finances.
In the above example, if there was no interest rate it could be simple determining monthly payments by just dividing the loan amount by the number of payments i.e. ($250,000/360-$694.44) But the bank has to make money therefore the mortgage comes with 5% interest. It is important to note that the interest in annual. Since all payments are based on a monthly rate, we convert the annual Interest rate into a monthly basis i.e. (5%/12—0.416%). Using the formula, A—i x P x (1 +i)nI (1 + i)n – 1, we determine monthly payments to account for interest. A Is the monthly payment, P Is the loans initial amount, I Is the monthly interest rate and n is the total number of payments. Using the examples numbers, P-$250,000, i-0.416 and n-360. The formula yields a monthly payment of $1,342.05. Finally we determine for you total interest. From the example, we can determine total cost of the loan then subtract the original loan i.e. (360 x $1,342.05)- 1250.000—S233.139 after rounding off.

Linderhof, Hope you won't be too exasperated but I've read about your Plan B several times but never wrote it down! I've been "assigned" bringing a green salad plus the rolls/bread for Christmas Day at DH's family. No problem, I was planning on a spinach with strawberries salad (thought it would be festive with the green and red plus everyone would like it) but, alas, no fresh strawberries available here so on to Plan B.... I don't have a Plan B so will yours work? It's going to be a Turkey dinner prepared by the hostess with all of the usual fixings including asparagus plus, I am sure, lots of vegetable platters so will your Brocculi crowns with Grape tomatoes meet the "green salad" definition or would it be considered more as just an extension of the "vegie" appetizers? Don't want to disappoint anyone's expectations re a green salad (leafy?) but think your Plan B does sound good! In a pinch, I thought that perhaps I could find some frozen strawberries and go with my original salad although I've never tried using them. HELP !!! | |||
Because it is dressed with salad dressing, I would consider it a salad -- not an extension of a veggie platter with a Ranch type dip. I've even made it a pasta salad by adding pasta to it. I suppose you could add spinach to it, dress it just before you serve it and then it would have "leaves" -- and I think the combo of spinach, broccoli (which I think with the spinach would have to be cut into pieces about the size of the cherries tomatoes) and the cherry tomatoes would be a good salad. I would probably do a package of baby spinach, a package of broccoli crowns, that I would cut down into smaller crowns, and the small package of cherry tomatoes, cut in half. And I'm not sure I would use a whole bottle of dressing, I would pour and toss, see where you're at, and pour and toss, until everything is coated but there really isn't anything in the bottom of the bowl. Martha | ||||
As to frozen strawberries -- they would work if you took them from the freezer and put them in your salad and then it was promptly eaten. But if it's going to be passed, and the strawberries have a chance to thaw, I don't think that they would be pretty or good in that salad. Martha | ||||
You could also replace the strawberries with mandarin (canned) oranges in your original green salad. | ||||
Thanks for the responses, Linderhof and Annon! I think I'm going to go with the idea of mixing in baby spinach with the brocculi crowns and cherry tomatoes (actually, for some reason, we only seem to get the grape tomatoes here recently - no cherries) so it will be grape tomatoes, cut in half, which will work fine since they are larger than the cherries and I have an all time favorite "store-bought" dressing on hand ~ "Bernstein's Restaurant Recipe Italian" that I think will meld well. I was hesitant about using frozen strawberries for the same reason as you ~ afraid they would be mushy, unattractive and add to much water! So frozen is out! Annon, great thinking about the mandarin oranges ~ I love them and actually have a case of them in the garage ~ but, for the Christmas dish, I was hoping for green/red so will experiment creating a salad with them and spinach at a later time. Thanks for the suggestion! Will let you know how the salad turns out! | ||||
[QUOTE]Originally posted by Idaho Resident: (actually, for some reason, we only seem to get the grape tomatoes here recently - no cherries) so it will be grape tomatoes, cut in half, which will work fine since they are larger than the cherries. [QUOTE] I always thought the fruit of grape tomatoes are smaller by about a half, more elongated, sweeter, lower in water content and have thicker skin than cherry tomatoes which has made them popular for use in salads as they are easier to manage than the larger, juicier cherry tomatoes. | ||||
One of my favorite salads is spinach, thinly sliced red onions, pink grapefruit sections and a good Italian dressing. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
I use both grape and cherries for this salad -- whichever they may have OR whichever is less expensive. They definitely are interchangable in this recipe! Martha | ||||
What about pomegranate seeds--they are red and are in season. Use a poppy seed or french dressing and I would still add some mandarin oranges too! | ||||
16 paws, Thanks for the suggestion. Actually pomegranates were my first thought as well but they are NOT in season here. We get the first ones about the last week of September and the last ones the week of Thanksgiving. After December 1, they are nowhere to be seen here in our grocery stores until next fall. I've decided to go with baby spinach, brocculi crowns and sliced grape tomatoes with Italian dressing and maybe a few croutons as well ~ will let you all know if is a success! PS. Spanish Revival, it's been so long since our local grocery stores have had cherry tomatoes that I had forgotten that some were larger than the grape variety! Think I was thinking about the only ones I've had lately - ones I grow myself every summer - Sweet 100's! And you are right - the grape tomatoes do seem to have a thicker skin - wonder why?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Idaho Resident, | ||||
I use fresh oranges in my winter holiday salads - with field greens or other leafy lettuce - and thinly sliced red onion - dress with an oil and basalmic vinegar dressing sweetened with honey. I toss the salad and arrange on plates before placing on the table - pomegranate seeds would look wonderful - and I have used toasted walnuts as an addition as well. I take the peel off of two oranges and section the orange sections from in between the white membrane - catch the juices and add it to the dressing. Seaborne | ||||

SMF Support > Install and Upgrade Help
Installation and MOD Errors etc Please help.
I really need someone with experience when it comes to install a SMF Forum with an Arcade and possibly a Teamspeak 3 block. Myself and my friend who has a bit more insight into this type of thing have been trying for such a long time and we keep getting this error..
When I attempted to install the mod smf arcade I recieved the following error; "You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!" Now the only way to fix this that I have found through searching on google is the change several ftp files to the permissions to 777 versus 755 which I am not allowed to do due to restrictions placed on me by your servers. I don't know what to do at this point I've beening calling and using online chat for about a week and a half and I have gotten no where I am literally back to square one. Is there anything you or I can do to resolve this issue?
I have contacted my host multiple times and you know what techs are like, they kinda pretend to know, or they pass the blame on to someone else... this time it being SMF even though I know it isn't simply because previously when we had this problem someone at my hosts end solved the writing issue and they installed SMF and SimplePortal.
If someone would maybe like to Skype with me and maybe be willing to help I would appreciate it so much.
Many thanks and I hope this was not too confusing.
David :-)
Is it a free web host?
If yes you can switch
Uhm i like 000webhost so maybe you can use that
and maybe i can help you if you have teamviewer and can tell me ur details
Try creating a directory, inside your "Packages" one, named "temp".
That needs to be read/write-enabled, too.
If your host doesn't allow you to change file permissions then there isn't much we or you can do. Are you sure you are unable to?
In most cases 755 should work even if there is a restriction on setting 777. Who is your host?

More than 80 young adult Catholics gathered for a faith-filled weekend at the third annual Emerging Adults Conference Aug. 2-4 at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Grapevine. The conference targeted young adults ages 18-29, giving them the opportunity to pray, listen to speakers, and socialize with fellow young adult Catholics.

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- "It is not my work only. It is the Lord's." Such was the summation of Sister Angelique Namaika, a member of the Augustine Sisters of Dungu and Doruma, as she spoke to reporters in an international conference call upon winning the Nansen Refugee Award bestowed annually by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.

In a review quoted on the back cover of Ian Ker's G.K. Chesterton: A Biography (Oxford), Susan Elkin suggests that Father Ker's book "has the potential to establish Chesterton in what Ker regards as his rightful place as a major English author." That's certainly true; but one does wonder about that "Ker regards…" business. Does Ms. Elkin not regard Chesterton as a "major English author"? I imagine she would regard George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's friendly antagonist, as such; and Shaw without doubt regarded Chesterton as such.

Started in 1987, Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful public witness of pro-life Americans standing in honor of 56 million lives lost to abortion, praying for our nation, for people in crisis situations, and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death.
September 3, 2013
Deacon Greg Hall prayed hard earlier this year before waging a costly legal battle over a federal law requiring his company to offer health insurance for abortion-causing drugs, contraceptives, and sterilization. It was not the first time Dcn. Hall, a business owner from Cypress, Texas, has had to dig down deep in his soul and stand firm about his convictions, his company, and his Christian beliefs.

Only the the non Operating System releases are on offer at the moment -- these being the Common Modules and Extras. Of course also the Admin Tools Package.
At least this will allow you a start to updating your APUP.
The download link is posted in http://www.autopatch...ent-apup-links/
Any errors or problems please report here, not in the release threads that they pertain to.
Thank you

is the correct value for MRT v4.22.7601 for July
Your mod would make it black for those with the July update.
Try and Install the new version and then check your registry.

Repeated for Windows 7 x64, Windows XP x64 and same as for the other OS's.

Q: Why does the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) install and run twice this month? It runs once during the first pass through Windows Update, then if you run Windows Update again it shows that MSRT is needed again. Once it downloads and runs the second time, Windows Update no longer thinks it needs to run again.
A: We are in the process of rolling out a new version of MSRT and to manage the risk, we are releasing the new version in stages over a few months. In this month, if you let Windows Update automatically download, you will get the old version. But if you manually check for it, you will get the new version. This is possibly the reason for the two offerings.
If this is the case then it needs to be decided what values to be inserted into KB890830_x86 and KB890830_x64 apms..Open for discussion

Have releases on the location as corrections and additions were needed, once these were made then signed the release. The downside to using the dropbox is that I need to maintain 2 copies of the work, one with dropbox location downloads and another for the autopatcher location, time consuming to say the least at keeping both in sync.
Will update the MRT (KB890830) apms shortly and update the dropbox location, once I cleared other matters out of the road first.
UPDATE: Common Modules has been updated and signed

text: Home- Offices and Services- Commencement- Speakers 2013 Speakers and Honorary Degree Recipients Duncan L. Niederauer '81, chief executive officer of NYSE Euronext, will deliver the keynote address at this year's commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 19. Duncan L. Niederauer '81 Doctor of Humane Letters Duncan L. Niederauer '81, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of NYSE Euronext, has played a pivotal role in leading the evolution of global markets. Before joining NYSE Euronext in April 2007, he was managing director and co-head of the Equities Division Execution Services franchise at Goldman, Sachs & Co. His career at Goldman Sachs spanned 22 years — experience that he would use to facilitate the merger of NYSE and Euronext and transform the organization into an applied technology company with a high-tech, high-touch focus. Niederauer serves on several boards and is involved in many charity efforts, most notably his advocacy for autism awareness. He and his wife, Alison, are co-chairs of the Newmark School's Destination of Promise campaign, which is building a state-of-the art-school in New Jersey for children with autism and related disabilities. During Passion for the Climb: The Campaign for Colgate, Niederauer provided generous support for the Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology, making gifts in honor of both his mother and his father. After graduating from Colgate cum laude in 1981 with a degree in economics, Niederauer earned an MBA from Emory University in 1985. His current board service includes the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation, Operation Hope, the American Ireland Fund, and the Partnership for New York City. A 2006 recipient of Colgate's Maroon Citation, he has also served on the university's alumni council and board of trustees. Niederauer and his wife reside in New Jersey with their three children and enjoy beekeeping as a hobby. Baccalaureate Speaker – The Very Reverend Dr. Jane Shaw Doctor of Divinity As dean of Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Dr. Jane Shaw is the spiritual, intellectual, and liturgical leader of one of the largest and most well-known churches in the United States. She is heralded as much for her intellect as for her sense of embrace, as she engages the church in the civic life of San Francisco and beyond, and fosters an environment where the arts, technology, sustainability, and education flourish along with questions of faith. Before becoming the first woman dean of Grace Cathedral in 2010, Dr. Shaw was one of the highest-ranking female religious leaders in England. As dean of divinity and fellow of New College, Oxford, she ran the college chapel, and taught history and theology at Oxford University for 16 years. She is the author of three books, including the prize-winning Octavia Daughter of God: the Story of a Female Messiah.a From 2003 to 2011, she co-directed The Prophecy Project, on modern prophecy movements, which was the largest research project in the humanities at Oxford University. She has served the Church of England as canon theologian of Salisbury Cathedral, honorary canon at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, and theological consultant to the House of Bishops. Raised on the grounds of a 13th-century medieval hospital in Norwich, England, Dr. Shaw was educated at Oxford University (BA and MA in history); Harvard Divinity School (MDiv) and the University of California at Berkeley (PhD in history). She is currently a visiting scholar at the Center for the Advanced Study of the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. Honorary Degree Recipients Both Niederauer and Shaw will receive honorary degrees during commencement. The other honorary degree recipients will be: Jeff Fager Doctor of Humane Letters Jeff Fager '77 became the first chairman of CBS News in February 2011, after re-energizing the network's flagship broadcast, 60 Minutes, and growing the program's brand online. With 60 Minutes, he created a model of successful electronic journalism in the digital age and began a strategy to reshape all of the CBS News division's platforms on television, radio, and the Internet. Fager has infused a fresh focus on harder news and brought in new talent. One year after promoting Scott Pelley to the helm of CBS Evening News, the show won a Peabody Award and became the only network evening news broadcast to grow its audience. A year later, Fager guided the re-launch of the network's morning news program, CBS This Morning. These successes and others led the Hollywood Reporter to name Fager one of the "35 Most Powerful People in Media" in 2011 and 2012. Fager began his career in Boston at the CBS station WBZ-TV. He was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather from 1996 to 1998 and the program's senior broadcast producer from 1994-96. Fager launched 60 Minutes II, serving as its executive producer from 1998-2004. His experience includes coverage of the war in Bosnia and the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Fager graduated from Colgate with a bachelor of arts degree in English. He is a trustee emeritus and a frequent presenter at university events both on and off campus, connecting with students and acting as a mentor to those interested in pursuing careers in media. Jill Lepore Doctor of Letters Jill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper Professor of American History at Harvard College, chair of Harvard's History and Literature Program, and a staff writer at The New Yorker. Lepore, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, focuses on the histories of war and violence and of language and literacy. In 2012, she received the Sarah Josepha Hale Medal for Distinction in Literature. Lepore's biography of Benjamin Franklin's sister, Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin, will be published in October 2013. Her most recent book, The Mansion of Happiness: A History of Life and Death, is a finalist for the Carnegie Medal. Her previous books include The Story of America: Essays on Origins; The Whites of Their Eyes: The Tea Party's Revolution and the Battle for American History; New York Burning: Liberty, Slavery and Conspiracy in Eighteenth-Century Manhattan; The Name of War: King Philip's War and the Origins of American Identity; and Blindspot, a novel written jointly with Jane Kamensky. Lepore received her bachelor of arts in English from Tufts University in 1987, a master of arts degree in American culture from the University of Michigan in 1990, and a doctorate in American studies from Yale University in 1995. In 1999, she co-founded the magazine Commonplace. Her writings have been featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, The Daily Beast, Smithsonian Magazine, the Journal of American History, and American Quarterly. She currently serves on the boards of the National Portrait Gallery and the Society of American Historians. Hamdi Ulukaya Doctor of Humane Letters Hamdi Ulukaya was born in Erzincan, Turkey. A political science student at Ankara University, he moved to the United States in 1994 to study English at Adelphi University, later transferring to the State University of New York at Albany to continue his studies. In 2002, Ulukaya founded Euphrates, a wholesale feta cheese company that found quick success. Capitalizing on that success, three years later, he purchased an 84-year-old Kraft yogurt facility in South Edmeston, NY, and with just five employees, he set out to introduce high-quality, low-priced Greek yogurt to America's consumer market. Ulukaya called his new company Chobani. Since October of 2007, Ulukaya's yogurt start-up has exceeded the $1 billion mark and become America's top-selling yogurt brand. His team of five has grown to more than 1,700 in South Edmeston alone, and local dairy farmers help supply the almost four million pounds of milk that Chobani requires every day. In 2011, Ulukaya opened a Chobani plant in Australia, and in December 2012, he opened the largest yogurt plant in the world — a one million square-foot facility in Idaho. In 2010, Ulukaya founded the Shepherd's Gift Foundation, which gives 10 percent of Chobani's proceeds to nonprofit initiatives worldwide. He was named Ernst & Young National Entrepreneur of the Year in 2012, the same year that he won the Small Business Association's Entrepreneurial Success Award. He is an advisory board member of Pathfinder Village, the American Turkish Council, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

"The Wolf of Wall Street?" Give me a break.
If you've been to the movies lately, you may have seen a trailer for a Martin Scorsese film with that name. It's the title of the first book in a two-volume memoir by former stock swindler Jordan Belfort, upon whom the film is based.
The trailer appears to portray Belfort as a player in a small part of lower Manhattan that's become the world-famous icon of capitalism. It opens with dizzying shots of famous symbols such as the Wall Street sign and the bronze Charging Bull statue, a favorite photo backdrop for tourists.
There's a hilarious scene with Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, hamming it up with one of his early mentors, played by Matthew McConaughey, at a window table in a restaurant with fabulous city views. You think Wall Street big shots might go there. And if you haven't caught on yet, the camera moves to Belfort on his yacht, which happens to be bobbing in a harbor with the World Financial Center in the background.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" might turn out to be great entertainment, which is what Hollywood is for. And maybe Belfort really did dock his 167-foot yacht near the Financial Center at least once before it sank in a Mediterranean storm.
But don't fall for the scenery. As Nadine Belfort, his second wife, said during an argument portrayed in his memoir, "My husband, the Wolf of Wall Street! It's almost too ridiculous for words."
For starters, almost all of Belfort's lucrative criminal career took place in a less glamorous locale than those opening scenes. After seven months in his first job in the securities industry, pitching stocks over the telephone for a genuine Wall Street-based firm, Belfort left there after stocks crashed in 1987 and headed east. His intention, he says in the memoir, was to bring "my own version of Wall Street out to Long Island instead."
The Expressway to his schemes
To convey what Belfort's professional life in this "version of Wall Street" was really like, the film trailer should start with shots of Long Island Expressway traffic and segue to a scene in a Greek diner near Lake Success, Long Island, population about 3,000, near the border with Queens. Belfort's firm, Stratton Oakmont, was headquartered there. In his memoir, he says he had breakfast at the diner with another mentor three times a week.
Employing hundreds of brokers, Belfort's Long Island version of Wall Street was a huge, infamous example of a type of thievery known as a "pump and dump" scheme.
In the scheme's first stage, Belfort and his partner, Daniel Porush, secretly got control of stock in small companies that Stratton took public. Then Stratton brokers, working banks of telephones, called individuals throughout the United States, using scripts that included wildly optimistic predictions about how high the stocks' prices would go.
When enough people had finally been fooled into buying the shares, the price really did rise as a result. Ignoring instructions from ordinary investors who wanted to sell, Belfort and other insiders cashed in at the peak, dumped all their stock into the market for a huge profit, and left the people they'd duped holding nearly worthless stock.
Trying to impress potential victims, brokers at Stratton and many other so-called "boiler rooms" said they were calling from "Wall Street." In fact, their only real connection with Wall Street was that some of the stocks they sold were traded at exchanges there, and the boiler rooms' "clearing firms" (companies handling the mechanical details of stock trades) might be there.
The tactic evidently worked.
Altogether, individual investors, many of them retirees, were cheated out of about $250 million by Stratton Oakmont by the time regulators managed to close it in 1996.
There was a book in 1929 called "The Wolf of Wall Street," based on a B-movie by that name about a fellow who cornered the market in copper. That helps me believe someone really did call Belfort that at least once.
But during more than a dozen years following Belfort's story for Newsday, I never once heard him referred to as "The Wolf." Not by his friends, enemies or ex-employees, and certainly not by the legions of regulators trying to close him down.
Joseph Borg, director of the Alabama Securities Commission, headed a long investigation of Stratton in the 1990s. He told me he hadn't heard it either. He thinks Belfort invented the "Wolf "nickname himself. "I have to give him credit," Borg says. "He's not stupid."
Not 'Wolf,' but something else ...
A word I did often hear to refer to boiler-room operators was something farther down the food chain -- "cockroach."
The brokers themselves used it. Belfort made it into a verb when he testified in the trial of Stratton's accountant years after Stratton closed. After it became obvious that regulators were about to shut Stratton down, he, Porush and some advisers decided to "close Stratton's doors ... and cockroach," he said.
In his memoir, Belfort explains what he calls the "Cockroach Theory," saying it meant setting up satellite firms when regulators got close to a big boiler room, moving brokers there in batches and continuing to operate as before at the new location.
For regulators, he wrote, closing a crooked brokerage suddenly became "like stepping on a cockroach and squashing it, only to find 10 new ones scurrying in all directions."
It's a real pity that the "Wolf" movie trailer doesn't give you some idea about who these victims were.
Decidely middle class, unsophisticated investors, they included Dorothy and Louis Dequine, 88-year-old Florida residents. They lost $252,000 in 1994 after a Stratton broker replaced their holdings with worthless stocks without authorization.

Rain delays Benton's bid for state softball championship
Sports Editor
FLOWOOD – The Benton Academy softball team started off their bid for a state title on Saturday about as well as they could have hoped for.
The Lady Raiders defeated Veritas School in the first game in tournament play 8-1. Benton Academy and top-seeded Bayou Academy will resume their game from Saturday afternoon today with the two teams knotted 5-5 in the sixth inning after heavy downpour in the Jackson area forced tournament officials to postpone until later in the week.
"We're playing the best softball we have all year," Benton Academy coach Vince Davis said. "All year, our hitting has been (inconsistent) but against Veritas we finally started getting bunts down and putting the ball in play."

Some wild prototypes that could someday be features in your mobile phone - from special steering wheels to unlocking a door with the bones in your hand - were recently shown to NY1 at the AT&T Labs. NY1's Adam Balkin filed the following report.
A prototype steering wheel that has GPS built in, literally on top of that though, in order to help keep your eyes on the road and off a tradition GPS screen, also vibrates in certain patterns to tell you when to turn. It was just one of several innovations NY1 was given a very early look at being worked on at the AT&T Labs. It's called a Haptics Enhanced Steering Wheel.
"The vibrators are vibrating in sequence either in a clockwise or counter clockwise pattern and you're feeling that under your hands on the steering wheel and it gives you an idea then when you should be turning the steering wheel in the indicated direction," said Hal Purdy of AT&T Labs.
Another innovation most of us would likely shell out decent money for ASAP is called Got My Stuff. It's a system that will tell you as soon as you sit down behind the wheel what you accidentally forgot to bring.
"You tag all your items up with these RFID tags and then when you get in your car you turn your car on, the system scans all the stuff you have to tell you all the things you have or better yet what you don't have it says, 'Donnie, you're missing your wallet,'" explained Donnie Henderson of AT&T Labs.
Finally, how about unlocking your door using just the phone in your pocket and the bones in your hand?
"Using these piezo transducers, they're essentially guitar pickups," said Brian Amento of AT&T Labs. "We can now produce and sense vibrations so the initial proof of concept was sending a digital key so I have my cell phone set to send a unique digital key through vibrations through my body so if I'm touching this microphone here when I touch the door it recognizes 'Ok it's Brian' and it unlocks the door."
Even wilder, developers say the same technology could also be used to swap contact information with someone by simply shaking their hand.
AT&T says while it's showing off the projects with the greatest commercial potential, there's no timetable set for when we might actually get to use some of these everyday ourselves.

Awesomely Inexpensive Winter Vacations
While spring may be just around the corner, winter is still definitely upon us. Whether you plan to travel on your weekends off or are simply looking for enjoyable ways to spend time in your own neck of the woods, there are a variety of winter vacations within your financial reach. (See also: 14 Fun Winter Staycation Ideas)
Downhill Ski Getaways
Don't immediately think cha-ching when considering ski getaways as part of your winter vacation repertoire. Remember, resorts are competing heavily for your tourist dollars, which means more savings opportunities for savvy shoppers. One popular strategy is for resorts and destinations to offer free lift tickets on the first day you arrive. In Park City, Utah for example, out-of-state visitors are allowed to convert same-day boarding passes from their flights into complimentary lift tickets at any of the town's three major ski resorts. The tickets have to be for the day of your arrival, but with more than 90 cities offering direct flights, it's possible to leave home in the morning and be on the slopes for free by shortly after lunch. With night skiing being an option, you can definitely get your money out of this perk. Just there for the weekend? Ski that first day and save your sightseeing for the second. That way, lift ticket prices won't even need to be on your budget radar.
For affordability and direct access to Mother Nature, snowshoeing getaways are where it's at. Many state, local, and national parks allow winter access to their trails and meadows, making way for a variety of winter hiking experiences. These also are great road trips for Rover, as the snowshoeing scene is particularly canine friendly. Just make sure you bring along winter booties and paw balm. The other great thing about winter vacations that involve snowshoeing is that you can travel if you want to or simply do a day trip to nearby wooded lands. Tow along a little hot cocoa and some power bars in your backpack, and you've got a great little family outing that fits the bill.
Scenic Drives
I love including scenic drives on winter vacations because, as with snowshoeing, you can flex this idea to suit any budget or travel agenda. Got a new squeeze you want to impress? Take a drive through a particularly picturesque area and spend the night at romantic inn or secluded (but not overly rustic) cabin. The whole idea is to curl up by the fireplace anyway and perhaps take a few pictures of the winter wonderland. If you can squeeze in an ice wine tasting, all the better. If a family friendly weekend is more what you're hoping to experience, then by all means book a family road trip. Drive somewhere with great public sledding options and toss a couple of 99 cent crazy carpets in the trunk. The kids will have a great time, and your cost will be minimal. This is also a trip you can take anytime during the winter. In the beginning when all the snow is fresh and new is a great way to go, but so is the beginning of spring thaw when you can capture all of the waterfalls and spring flowers poking through the remaining white.
Nordic Ski Options
This is another way you can skip the lift tickets and still enjoy active winter vacations. Granted, you can't just toss these in the trunk like you can with your snowshoe gear; you'll definitely need a ski rack if you're riding with a group. That being said, there are numerous ways to affordably experience a cross-country ski getaway and maybe even get in a little cold-weather camping while you're at it. For example, the Snow Mountain Ranch located near the town of Winter Park, Colorado has pet-friendly yurts you can book for just $89. This rate includes several complimentary amenities such as free access passes to the ranch's Nordic ski trails and the opportunity to go tubing as well.
Prefer to stay close to home? Kids of all ages love to make things and there are plenty of nature crafts you can whip up during winter weather. Combine the snowshoeing or scenic drive ideas above with a bit of supply gathering and create a batch of red dogwood wreaths to use as gifts. They are great at any time of year, but are fun to add a bit of color while there's still snow on the ground. Children also love creating homemade bird treats from pine cones and gathering pine branches for earthy displays around the house. Keep your craft plans as natural as possible, and your cost for kiddy entertainment during winter school vacations will be minimal.
Indoor Family Time
If all you're able to swing is a weekend off from work and you want to maximize the time you have, then don't pressure yourself by planning the ultimate getaway. Get those Netflix and Hulu accounts smoking with a family movie marathon, or have another family you're close friends with overnight to enjoy some serious board game competitions. That way, you'll be able to break things down by age group and combine game supplies to keep things fresh. Have a few easy crock pot recipes ready to roll to keep cooking time to a minimum and make sure there's plenty of hot chocolate to go around.
Winter vacations and long weekends don't have to break the bank. With some savvy shopping and careful planning, it's possible to enjoy this time of year with your family, significant other, a few friends, or even on your own.
While 90% of me doesn't miss winter living in Southern California, reading this has made me pine (pun intended) for cross-country skiing in the New Hampshire woods. Depending on where you're going, XC skiing can be a great option for a family vacation where some, but not all, members of the family want to go downhill skiing -- some slopes offer cross-country trails as well.
Sadly winter really never came in the Tahoe area. There's a site called Liftopia where you can search for discounted lift tickets on a specified date, this will definitely help you save some money!
I live in FL and I've only been skying once but it was the one of the most fun things I've done in my life.

Over the past six months or so we have started to see an improvement in the economy here in the United States. It seems that the economic downturn is finally behind us and that we might be in for a number of years of solid growth ahead. But, just like there are dangers during a downturn, there are also pitfalls during years of economic success.
One of the professions that seems to be as much science as art is economic forecasting. Most forecasters miss important economic signs. Even the best economists did not predict the crisis of 2008 and the Great Recession that then ensued. There is a fascinating account in the Torah that offers advice and a framework to economists who predict future economic health.
The Pharaoh of Egypt had two very disturbing dreams. In the first, he saw seven healthy and well-nourished cows and seven undernourished cows which proceeded to eat the seven healthy cows. He then dreamt a second dream where he saw seven healthy stalks of corn and seven withered stalks of corn. These withered stalks of corn then swallowed the healthy stalks.
These two dreams botherd the Pharaoh greatly and he consulted with his advisors to decipher their meaning. None of the advisors were able to offer a satisfactory explanation. Eventually Joseph was brought before Pharaoh and he interpreted the dreams in the following manner. The seven healthy cows and corn represent seven years of plenty — the time of growth and stability. Whereas the seven malnourished cows and stalks of corn represent seven years of economic contraction and famine. Joseph advised the Pharaoh to conserve food during the years of plenty to ensure that they were prepared for seven years of economic recession and famine when it inevitably arrived.
Jews, especially those who keep to the traditions of Judaism, are often uncomfortable celebrating secular or non-Jewish holidays. We make it a point to let people know that we have enough of our own holidays to celebrate and are in no need of extra festivals. In fact, even secular Jews tend not to celebrate Christmas. Recall Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan during her confirmation hearings saying that on Christmas Eve she can usually be found eating at a Chinese restaurant. Because they are the only restaurants that open on Christmas.
In fact, last year I was in Las Vegas with my wife on December 25, and we went to see a mentalist perform. We noticed that the stand-in performer was Jewish and so was most of the audience. In short, we Jews on the whole do not generally celebrate Christmas and for good reason. It is fundamentally a Christian holiday, and besides we have our own festival Chanukah which lasts for eight days rather than just one.
But, when it comes to Thanksgiving things are different. For starters, we don't really have good excuse not to celebrate Thanksgiving. It's not a Christian holiday, and it's all about thanking God for everything good we have in our lives - sounds Jewish enough doesn't it? In addition, there is no Jewish holiday with which it coincides. Clearly many Jews are very comfortable celebrating Thanksgiving, turkey and all.
It has already been a month since the Pew research study came out alerting us to what can best be described as the potential demise of American Jewry and Judaism. To be sure, there was plenty of handwringing and pontificating following the release of the study, but now, it seems, the news cycle and people have moved on. Yet the urgency, the desperate need to dial back this tragic trend, remains.
It seems clear that for big problems we need big solutions, and the oft-cited ship analogy here is pertinent. When one passenger drills a hole in the side of the ship in his cabin, it is no use for him to argue that he is only damaging himself, because in time the water that seeps in will sink the entire ship and everyone will lose their lives. The challenge facing American Jewry cannot only be the problem of those who take leadership positions in the community. This has the potential to destroy the entire community, it therefore must be seen as everyone's problem. We need an all-hands-on-deck approach to solving this stupendous challenge facing American Jewry, where more than thirty percent of Jews don't identify as being Jewish by religion.

The last thing I'm looking for right now in my life is a new project to take on. My plate is currently full with things to do from the moment I wake up (usually very early) in the morning to the second I close my eyes at night.
Despite all of this, this week I launched a new project entitled "Frum and Stuck" (www.frumandstuck.com) together with a my friend, Rabbi Ysoscher Katz. The need for this project became apparent about a year ago when someone very close to me came to the realization that as a result of all their doubts and struggles with matters of faith, they could no longer continue as an Frum (Orthodox) Jew. This decision resulted in him leaving his community, his wife and his children. The heartbreak and destruction that resulted from that decision is still lingering.
Britain has a new Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, and as any one who knows Anglo Jewry could have predicted, in less than six weeks of his installation, he is embroiled in controversy. For the uninitiated some background might be necessary. In Britain there is an annual conference where laypeople can go and study Torah known as Limmud. This conference is multi-denominational and teachers from all movements within Judaism from Reform to Orthodox attend.
For many years, London Beth Din and its then former head Dayan Chanoch Ehrentreu was of the opinion that Orthodox rabbis were forbidden to attend that conference because it gave equal legitimacy to non-Orthodox clergy. Not wanting to antagonize the London Beth Din, the former Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks complied with that ruling and did not attend Limmud. To his credit, the new Chief Rabbi Mirvis has broken from that precedence and has just recently attended the Limmud conference. The response was shock by Ehrentreu and his orthodox colleagues, who wrote a letter accusing Mirvis of action that will "bring about tragic consequences for Anglo Jewry."

If I build a website while on salary, is it considered my bosses intellectual property? I have never had a contract and the domain is registered in my own name. I put in a lot of extra time to build it without getting payed for it. it wasn't directly what I was hired to do but I built it to help me do my job better.
If you are a salaried employee who officially works for the company, then the work that you do for the company belongs to the company. They do not need a contract with you. Your putting in extra time has no bearing on it. Technically, you only have to put in the time you are salaried for. They do not have to pay you for extra time unless they consider it overtime that they mandated. The product is their property in entirety, including any extra work you put in on your own to it. It doesn't matter if you were instructed to do it or not. What you do for the company belongs to them. That includes any tools you build to help your work. It includes your emails on the company account. It includes everything you put on their computer except items that are illegal for you to put on their computers including copyrighted items and your personal items. If you build something for yourself at home, and you take it to the company and put it on their computer, then that is an infringement. In that case, the item is yours and for you to use it at the company, you must get the company to make a contract with you or purchase it for you to use it. Otherwise they are using it illegally. And you are acting as the company when you are working - not as yourself. It's the same for someone else's software. If you purchase it for your home use (really you are purchasing a license for using it), you cannot take it to work and use it there unless the purchase agreement allows it. Otherwise, your company would have to purchase it for your use at your company. You cannot purchase it yourself for use at your company. It must be purchased by them to be used on their machines. Also you may not make a copy of the item and use it for anything not work related. It belongs to them. All you may do is use the knowledge and techniques you learned from the work, and apply it to other things you do. The overall concepts and ideas behind the item you developed for them are also theirs. You have to show that you've significantly changed the ideas to use them. e.g. as Mark Zuckerberg did for Facebook to the guys with the original idea (see the Social Network movie). | |||||||||||||||||||||
Its a hard one, if you are a standard employee and the thing you have built is within their domain, then most likely they own it. If its nothing to do with them (they play in CRM and work in .NET and you write a computer game in JAVA) then you can argue its yours. What do you want to do with it is the real question? If your looking to leave your employer and start a new business based off this thing then they may be unhappy. If all your really doing is using it as part of your "library" then most employers wouldn't complain and would either let you have it or at least work out a shared arrangement if it did benefit them. | |||||||||

If not, then you could put on a large pair of cojones and walk off with it - in which case you must work out if you are facing a huge legal bill defending yourself. | |||||
