Steel Wheat Medical ID Bracelets
- Product Review (submitted on June 10, 2013):
- I absolutely love this stylish MedID bracelet. It fits well and works well with my other jewelry.
I find that the clasps are easy to open and close and being able to mix the bracelets up depending on my outfit is an added bonus. I wear my bracelet 24/7 and I hardly know that I have it on!

WASHINGTON -- President Obama hosted a screening of Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" at the White House the other day. He should do it again -- and again and again.
In case you haven't noticed, there's something called "Obamacare" that is changing healthcare in the United States. It's been controversial, especially during the recent presidential election.
As the Christmas shopping season approaches, we should all be reminded of just how important shopping at home really is. Studies show that money spent at independently owned local businesses stays in a community, multiplying as it circulates.
WASHINGTON -- Let's talk about the halter top.
Greetings again from New Mexico. We were blessed as we arrived in El Paso, Texas, back in October with very nice weather. It was cool during the day, great for training and cool at night, great for sleeping. Well the arctic shift has come our way and today it is in the 30s. Over the last several days we have continued to train and have focused on Unarmed Self Defense (USD), base defense, vehicle rollover training and Pashto language training.
During this holiday season, I'm thankful for:
(The following is a portion of Camden Archives and Museum Asst. Director Katherine Richardson's keynote speech at the Baruch Society Annual Meeting, Nov. 15, 2012. Further portions of the speech will be printed in further editions of this column.)
Yesterday, people all over the country gave thanks for the various people and opportunities they have in their lives. In a moment of humility and love, some people probably even recognized that they have all they could ever really need in the present moment.
Mitt Romney finally has it figured out. He knows why he lost. Guess what? It was all President Barack Obama's fault.
Past CIA officers have been known to withhold information about questionable activities so presidents will have "plausible deniability." In the matter of retired Gen. David Petraeus' career-killing extramarital affair, President Barack Obama is stuck with a deniable plausibility.
Brad Keselowski's gift to Roger Penske on Sunday was nearly 40 years in the making. The 28-year-old Michigan native helped Penske fill his trophy case with his first Sprint Cup Championship after crossing the finish line at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the final race of the year.
WASHINGTON -- As the debt ceiling loomed last year, President Obama believed Republicans had him over a barrel. They had won the midterm election. More important, calling the GOP's bluff seemed too big a bet: defaulting on the debt risked plunging the global financial system into chaos.
There's a bumper sticker that I've seen a number of times and saw again just recently. It says, "If you can read this, thank a teacher." That's well said and actually, it's not said enough for many reasons beyond reading. As I thought about what to write for the month of November, a time for giving thanks, I thought it would be appropriate to ask our teachers and other staff to talk about a teacher whom they would want to thank. I sent out an email to this effect and got more responses than I could ...
In my first installment I discussed that I was assigned to the 304th Military Police Battalion in Nashville, Tenn. So why am I writing an article for the Camden Chronicle? I am a Kershaw County resident and have lived in Kershaw county on and off since 1972 when my dad, John Baird Sr., retired from the Army here. When someone writes a résumé in the Army, we call it an autobiography. I will give you a short synopsis of my military and civilian career and how I ended up in Nashville as an Army Reservist. I graduated from Lugoff-Elgin ...
NEW ORLEANS -- It is tempting, oh so tempting, to unleash the snark as the script unfolds: Real Housewives of Tampa. Or is it Real Generals of Kabul?
As much as I love Christmas, I have to give Thanksgiving just as much acknowledgement -- unlike a lot of television networks.
Gov. Haley recently took an 11-day trip to India. There are some who are grumbling, calling her trip just another post-election junket by a politician.
WASHINGTON -- By now, most Americans probably have formed an opinion about what comedian Bill Cosby did or didn't do sexually to or with at least 16 women beginning in the 1960s.
A long, long time ago... oh, wait, that's another pop culture reference.
It started accidentally. Some good ideas and memorable moments are like that. They aren't planned. They're born, bringing with them an ability to nudge a way naturally into our lives and become a tradition.
As a part of writing this column, I go to lots of meetings, community events and conferences all across the state in my never ending search to find out about the people, businesses and community groups that are doing good and important things to make our state better.
• "Glenn," writes my friend Waylon Fortenberry of Chesterfield County, "I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out."
WASHINGTON -- News that Pope Francis will visit the U.S. next year for the triennial World Meeting of Families brings elation to Catholics, excitement to pope watchers -- and perhaps a little chagrin to some who too soon interpreted Francis' broad compassion as a precursor to doctrinal changes related to marriage.
This space in the Friday edition of the Chronicle-Independent each week is where I am allowed to share my personal stories, opinions and basically whatever is on my mind as I write this column. I know I complain about a lot of things and, eventually, the time may come when I have covered everything that aggravates me and the rest of the columns in my career won't be the kind where you can imagine me pounding my fist on my desk as you read them. But, if that day ever does come, it's a long way off.
In 2008, a group of graduate students from the University of South Carolina's Public History Program produced a study entitled, "The Camden African-American Heritage Project." It was the product of a student group assignment conducted in 2005-06. The students were assisted by many Camden residents in their search for the history of African-Americans in Camden from the Colonial period through the era of civil rights. Though able to spend only one semester researching and writing, the students pulled together an admirable overview of the lives of African-Americans here. In their final recommendations they suggested, among other things, that an ...
I try to live life as a journey full of unknown destinations. And I do believe it is the journey that matters most. During the last year, I was blessed enough to experience a journey throughout our wonderful state of South Carolina. A campaign for governor is a journey through the hearts and souls of many people and places. A statewide campaign is sometimes brutal and sometimes joyful, but never dull. I treasure that journey and thank my friends in Camden and Kershaw County for letting me experience it.
WASHINGTON -- Millennials are foolhardy spendthrifts. But young people basically always are, and that's probably OK.
I used to have high and/or specific expectations for everything. I was never cynical. As a matter of fact, I was the most optimistic person I knew.

Beach moves artist's brush
Catherine Dzialo-Haller can't remember a time that she didn't paint.
"I've been painting as long as I was able to hold a Crayola," she said.
A figurative painter working in oils, Dzialo-Haller considers herself a contemporary realist.
"I love painting everyday scenes, especially at the beach because there's peacefulness and a joy about the beach, and even on a gray day the colors are beautiful," she said.
The never-ending beauty of the beach frequently serves as inspiration for Dzialo-Haller's brush, and surfers are often the focus of her paintings. But her inspiration centers on something far deeper than a surfer catching a wave.
"I prefer painting the contemplation and the solitude of each surfer as they're leaving the ocean, going into the ocean or looking at the waves, deciding where they're going to surf," she said.
A Del Mar Highland's resident for more than 20 years, she also lived in Hawaii for 15 years, so her color palette reflects the vibrant shades of the pacific coast.
"I'm inspired by the colors of the sky and nature here," Dzialo-Haller said. They are clear, brilliant and vibrant."
As a skilled plein air painter, Dzialo-Haller also enjoys depicting the local lagoons.
"I like to try to capture the environment - it's good practice for me," she said.
She attended the Art Institute in Los Angeles before moving to Hawaii where she studied art at the University of Hawaii. She also attended art classes while living in Moscow. In 1983, she graduated from San Francisco's Academy of Art College
Dzialo-Haller said that despite the many classes, seminars and workshops she has taken, her high school art teacher, John Sweeney, remains her key mentor.
"He taught me discipline and structure, and I think that's what you have to have if you seriously want to be an artist," she said. "I think there are a lot of talented artists, but I also think successful artists are the most disciplined."
Dzialo-Haller follows Sweeney's advice by diligently painting every day, often working on several canvases at the same time. While she often favors painting large pieces, she also enjoys doing quick painting sketches.
"Every day for one hour, I try to do a little 6-by-8-inch painting sketch in oils just to loosen myself up," she said. "Or if I'm outside plein air painting, I paint smaller works because the sun moves too quickly, so you have to capture the scene within an hour or it changes."
Her favorite artists include Edward Hopper, Richard Diebenkorn, Elmer Bischoff and figurative painters Alice Neel and David Park. Partial to the contemporary work of today, Haller loves the work of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
Dzialo-Haller is now eager to expand her artistic horizons by returning to the world of sculpting.
"I used to sculpt but haven't in years, so my next venture is to start sculpting a figure," she said. "I think I'll be an even better painter if I go back to sculpting because I'll get that three-dimensional thing going."

The purchase of properties in Los Angeles by foreign nationals has seen a healthy growth lately and many may not be familiar with the mechanics. Hopefully the summary below will help shed light on what is really not such an overwhelming process. Step 1 Most foreign buyers are going to be all cash as it is difficult to get a loan. Should getting a loan be an option then a pre-qualification/approval will be required from the lender before an offer can be made. For cash buyers proof of … [Read more...]

Los Angeles Homes for Sale. The Calm Before the Storm?

Real Estate is a Business of Emotions Not Actions
When buying a car there is an unwritten rule that you are supposed to haggle for the best price and emotions generally don't factor in. Some people enjoy the dance and don't take it personally when they don't get what they want. Real estate is a business in which emotions probably run higher than any other. The purchase is huge and it is personal, and often the process is approached like preparation for battle. The buyer knows the seller is out to get them and vice versa.

Bahati Rejected from National Prayer Breakfast
BY Advocate.com Editors
January 19 2010 5:40 PM ET
The Ugandan politician who introduced the so-called kill the gays bill, has been disinvited to the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. David Bahati was invited in October, before the bill was introduced, according to the Box Turtle Bulletin, which has been closely following the situation.
Ambassador Richard Swett, a spokesman for the breakfast, confirmed that Bahati was no longer allowed to come to the event, scheduled for February 4.
He added, "The National Prayer Breakfast is an organization that builds bridges of understanding between all peoples, religions and beliefs and has never advocated the sentiments expressed in Mr. Bahati's legislation."
Early reports from the Monitor newspaper in Uganda said that Bahati had planned to go to the even, and make a speech.
The organization that puts on the National Prayer Breakfast is the Fellowship Foundation, also known as the Family, an evangelical Christian group linked to the development of the "kill the gays" bill.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Condo boom in the Village
Multi-family developments springing up
Winnipeg's most densely populated neighbourhood -- Osborne Village -- is about to get a little more crowded.
At least two new condominium developments are in the works or underway in the area, a third is nearing completion, and two more are in the initial planning stages, real estate industry officials say.
While none is a big project -- they range in size from five to 25 units -- they'll add a few more residents to a neighbourhood Wikipedia says is the second-most densely populated in Western Canada.
While many of the multi-family residential buildings are apartment blocks, some new condo developments have also been springing up around the neighbourhoods.
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. statistics show seven new projects with a total of 172 units have been started since 2006. They include the Edgewater Condominiums on Wellington Crescent (52 units), the Pulse on River Avenue (45 units), the Oz Condos under construction at the corner of River and Bole Street (25 units), a 33-unit complex at 330 Stradbrook Ave., an eight-unit building at 548 Stradbrook and two four-unit complexes -- one at 118 Wilmot St. and the other at 609 Gertrude St.
And that total doesn't include the recently completed conversion of the First Church of Christ, Scientist Church at 511 River Ave. into 46 one-bedroom condos.
The newest area project, which is still in the pre-sale stage and isn't expected to break ground until early next year, would see a century-old triplex at 290 River Ave. demolished to make way for five new condos.
Four of the tri-level, townhouse-style units are 1,200 square feet in size and will be contained in a single building to be built near the front of the property. The fifth -- a 1,268-square-foot, coach-house-style unit -- will be built above a five-car garage that will be erected near the back of the property.
The project's listing agent -- Blair Holm of Kilkenny Real Estate -- said the developer hopes to pre-sell at least three of the units before proceeding with the project. They're all priced at $399,000.
Holm said they hope the condos will appeal to young professionals who want a condo styled more like a house, with three levels, a partial basement, a garden and a detached garage.
The owner and developer of the property is transplanted Winnipegger Andrew Thompson, who now lives in England. Holm said Thompson inherited the aging triplex from his family, "and he wants to do a nice, quality project (on the site), and maybe make a little money for himself."
He said Thompson hopes to begin construction in late winter and to have the units ready for occupancy by sometime next fall.
The architect for the complex under construction at 548 Stradbrook -- Sasa Radulovic of 5468796 Architecture Inc. -- said that project is about 75 per cent built.
He said the eight units will range in size from 850 square feet to 1,300 square feet, with prices starting at around $250,000 "and going up from there."
Radulovic and 5468796 Architecture are also the architects for the Oz Condos project and two other projects that are still in the preliminary planning stages. All he could say about the latter two projects is one is expected to have 10 units and the other will likely have five.
The Oz, which should be ready for occupancy in early December, has 25 units ranging in size from 805 square feet to 1,900 square feet.
Listing agent Alison O'Toole, of Century 21 Bachman and Associates, said 13 of the units have been sold so far, with the most expensive -- a penthouse suite -- selling for $550,000. The remaining units are priced at between $340,000 and $425,000.
O'Toole, Radulovic and Jenny Gerbasi, city councillor for the area, said they aren't surprised to see new condo developments springing up around the neighbourhood. They said there's still a demand for new housing.
"For one thing, it's a great place to live," Gerbasi said. "It's close to public transit routes and it's close to all the amenities people want. And I think more and more people also want that urban-type of experience."
Radulovic agreed, saying, "I think some people are drawn to other people... and that's one of the reasons they want to live in Osborne Village or the Exchange District. You feel like you're living in a city."
Gerbasi said city officials are pleased to see infill, multi-family development taking place, and that it includes a variety of different sizes and styles of condos. But one thing they'd like to see is more "affordable" units being built.
"That's an issue with cities across Canada. But we have very low (apartment) vacancy rates... and it's hard for people just starting out to find affordable housing."

Yankees Place Mark Teixeira On the DL with Hamstring Injury
(NEW YORK) -- After playing in just 15 games last season, New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has landed on the disabled list once again after injuring his hamstring Friday night against the Toronto Blue Jays.
It is unknown what hte severity of the injury is, but the Yankees will be without him for at least the next couple weeks.
Teixeira missed just 16 total games his first three seasons with the Yankees, but now finds himself unable to stay on the field.
"I wanted to break everything in the clubhouse last night when I came in here, but I respect the Blue Jays organization more than that" he said. "I felt like I did everything this offseason and this spring to get my body in position to play all season."
Allready thin on infielders, the Yankees will shift third baseman Kelly Johnson to first base. The team plans on rotating rookies Yangeris Salarte and Dean Anna at third base going forward.

Senior Member
havnt played an ap on dom in about a week, still cata health+passive health+hp regen makes you scary tanky for the 4on4 team fight that eventually is going to break out top.
because it's almost 1500 for a total of.. 25 ap. flat spell pen doesn't scale well.
Needlessly large rod: 1600 gold, 80 AP
Haunting Guise: 1485 gold, 250 HP, 25 AP, 20 MPen
If you use a level 3 Null Sphere as an example:
180 tooltip damage
+0.7 per AP
On a target with 20 MPen (after other mpen):
NLR damage = 196 damage
HG damage = 205 damage
This is assuming you have 0 other AP. More AP makes haunting guise even more attractive. This is also assuming you aren't over or under penetrating (both situations make penetration look worse)
If you compare Rabadon's versus a Haunting Guise / Morello's combo,
and assume you have 50 AP from runes and masteries:
Rabadon's: 247 AP
HG / MET: 150 AP +250 HP +20% CDR + Mana regen + grievous wounds passive
Assuming level 5 Null Sphere:
On a target with 20 MPen (after other mpen):
Rab damage = 376 damage
HG/MET damage = 430 damage
Assuming target with 100 MR (after other mpen)
Rab damage = 226 damage
HG/MET = 211 damage
Haunting Guise is a decent item. Use your own discretion in deciding when to build it.
Also consider champs that like Mpen more than AP, like Warwick.
Hmm sounds interesting! I think it might be more effective against bruiser comps that are likely to have early MR, either through treads or MR/level glyphs.
Could get HG, Ionian, and Sweeper, have max CDR very quickly, your spell pen and an appropriate amount of AP to suit it... and the nifty reveal passive/active.
Before Ionian boots were introduced to the game, HG wasn't a viable option at all since you could not forgo the spell pen... but now that you have that cheap early CDR option, HG becomes more attractive. You also have Codex/Morello's.
The effectiveness of flat pen is often underestimated in terms of how it improves your damage output, compared to raw AP. Unless your champion has some form of innate MR shred, you can often improve your damage by a greater amount for cheaper, than you would with raw AP.
Then you also can factor in the prospect of getting no incremental upgrades until you save 1600 gold, which could result in losing you and your team more gold than its worth, assuming you're losing towers/kills a result of the team power differential during the period of time it takes to save up that sum of gold.
I don't often build the NLR items on casters anymore, because tankiness, CDR, and penetration I find is more valuable in Dominion. I could be wrong, just my experience.
Remember guys, Guise sells back for 1035, recouping all but 450 of its cost. Its EXTREMELY cost efficient to get an early guise and sell it for Void Staff later.
I always get Guise as my first item on AP chars (after prospectors+sorc boots).

Hello guys/girls, I have a 1998 triumph t595-.23000 miles on the clock. I purchased the bike last august- since I have had it I have a tiny amount of oil coming out of the oil filler cap. I replaced the oil cap and rubber washer with new ones. I still have the problem. I have changed the oil and filter and made sure its not over filled. Someone said it could be a breather hose blocked? Im hoping someone could advise me on this and praying its not a piston etc. Thanks in advance, lance

After a couple of minutes mooching around the 'net, it looks like it's on the left of the crankcase (as you sit on the bike), an ovalish plate, held on with 5 bolts.... looks like there are moving parts behind the plate...... check the hose is clear before you remove the plate.

also there`s something about a centrifugal breather on this model. Anycase the pipe usually go`s into the airbox.
Thank you for your help. I hope to get the panel off and have a look sometime soon. It's starting to drive me mad..
Thanks for your help, I hope it's an easy fix and sorts the leak out. I don't have any other leaks apart from the dipstick leak so I do t seem to have th air box with oil in problem.?
Turned out to be the o ring. The one triumph supplied with the new oil cap. ...

How to Tie a Ribbon Bow for a Puppyby Laure Justice
Creating a big bow can give your puppy extra pizazz for special pictures or for a holiday get-together. Make sure the ribbon shows clearly by choosing brightly colored ribbon that stands out against your puppy's fur. Also, put safety first when dressing up your puppy. Do not loop the ribbon around your puppy's neck. It's more safe for your puppy to have the bow attached to the collar.
Easy Puppy Bow TutorialStep 1
Wrap the collar around the rolling pin and fasten the collar's clasp.
Easy Puppy Bow TutorialStep 2
Slide one end of the ribbon under the collar and pull until the ribbon is centered, with an equal amount sticking out on each side of the collar.
Easy Puppy Bow TutorialStep 3
Cross the ends of the ribbon with one end going under the other ribbon to form an X shape.
Easy Puppy Bow TutorialStep 4
Slip the lower end up and through the part of the X shape between the center of the X and the collar. Pull the ends until the ribbon forms a snug knot around the collar.
Easy Puppy Bow TutorialStep 5
Make a bunny ears shoelace knot to form the bow. Create a hook-shaped loop with each ribbon end. Cross one hook-shaped loop over the other. Slide the tip of the top loop around and under the lower loop, then up through the center of the spot where the loops cross. Pull the ends until the center knot tightens and the bow looks a bit wider than your puppy's body.
Easy Puppy Bow TutorialStep 6
Cut off excess ribbon, only an inch or two, from the loose ends. This is to make the bow look balanced and appealing.
Easy Puppy Bow TutorialStep 7
Remove the collar from the rolling pin and attach the collar to your puppy. Position the bow above your puppy's shoulders or slightly to one side.
Items You Will Need
- Loose-fitting collar
- Rolling pin or helper
- 2 feet of 1/2 inch wide ribbon
- Scissors
- Large bows can get caught on things, causing a choking risk, so watch your puppy extra closely while the bow is attached to the collar.
- Remove the bow as soon as it is no longer needed.

College students are still buying PCs, not tablets, for now
We all know the PC market is changing, and it isn't selling as many units as it used to, but then there are hundreds of millions of smartphones and tablets sold each year. Where one market shrinks and slowly dies, another emerges, making billions of dollars.
Well, one section of the market where PC still reigns king, is in college campuses. Market research firm Deloitte found that 82% of college students own computers and 80% of them own smartphones, but just 18% of them own a tablet. Deloitte's Brent Schoenbaum told MarketWatch: "The combination of smartphones and laptops makes the tablet redundant for students."
Sony see profits from smartphones with over 9.6 million units sold
It looks like Sony are starting to make some money from their smartphone business - and so they should - they've been releasing some great smartphones lately, such as the Xperia Z, and the new Xperia Z Ultra.
Sony's latest earnings report showed that the Japanese company sold 9.6 million smartphones in the last quarter, a huge improvement year-over-year for the same quarter in 2012 of just 7.4 million units. As for the business side of things, Sony made a $60 million profit in their smartphone division, which is a stark contrast to the same quarter of last year, which saw them gobble up a $28.1 million loss.
This might not sound like much, but this is big for Sony considering the strong competition in Apple and Samsung. These two companies secure most of the profits in the smartphone market, and Sony are making waves pretty quickly if you ask me.
Micron acquires memory maker Elpida for $2 billion
Micron have just closed a deal to purchase Elpida for an estimated $2 billion. Micron have been working on the deal to acquire the Japan-based company since mid last year.
Included in the deal are the entirety of Elpida's assets, which include a DRAM fabrication facility located in Hiroshima, Japan and a 65% stake in Rexchip, who are another memory company with a DRAM fabrication facility in Taiwan. Micron also scored Elpida's 100% stake in Akita Elpida Memory, who owns an assembly and test facility in Akita, Japan.
During a statement, Micron said that Elpida had built themselves a strong presence in the mobile DRAM market using advanced technologies to target mobile phones and tablets. Considering Elpida is one of Apple's biggest clients, this is a huge opportunity for Micron.
Micron now has the ability to produce over 185,000 300mm wafers per month, which doubles their current manufacturing capacity by 45%.
Take-Two posts $143 million net revenue for Q1, GTA V will help soon
Take-Two Interactive have posted a $142.7 million net revenue for Q1 2014, down from Q1 2013's $226.1 million. The company took a net operating loss of $61.9 million for the three-month period, compared to $110.8 million from the same quarter last year.
Take-Two have said this is part of the loss of software development costs for a cancelled game from 2K, that cost them $29.6 million. The company attributes their first quarter net revenue to the strong sales of Borderlands 2, NBA 2K13, Grand Theft Auto IV and BioShock Infinite. The latter, selling over 4 million copies.
Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two CEO, said during their financial call: "With Grand Theft Auto 5 launching on September 17, followed by the releases of NBA 2K14 and WWE 2K14, fiscal 2014 is poised to be one of our best years ever. Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities presented by the upcoming launches of the next-generation consoles."

Apple employees file suit after alleged frisking incidents
Apple is once again coming under fire from former employees of its retail stores. This time a group of ex-employees have filed suit against the Cupertino giant as a result of TSA style security searches that were performed daily by managers who were searching for stolen merchandise.
According to the employees, they would have to stand in line for 30 minutes a day without pay while their managers searched their bags and persons in an attempt to discourage theft of devices. The employees have filed a class action suit that claims that they were cheated out of $1,500 per year in unpaid wages due to the unlawful searches.
The court documents say that Apple managers were not just looking for Apple devices either; apparently, they were searching for and confiscating other "contraband" without the permission of the employees being searched. Apple's official "personal package and bag search" policy routinely results in staff being forced to stand around for 5-30 minutes each day without pay, each and every time they clock out for a break or meal. How do you feel about this policy? Let me know in the comments.
Ex-Mozilla Chief to head up antivirus giant AVG Technologies
Today, Gary Kovacs announced that he has been named the new CEO of AVG Technologies. The former CEO of Mozilla said that he wanted to join AVG and help them further their expansion into the mobile space. He will be taking on a company that has over 150 million users globally, which include the consumer and small business markets, and with 25 percent of its users already using the company's mobile solutions, Kovacs should have no problem kicking things into high gear.
"AVG currently has a big footprint on desktop, but it also wants to be leading in mobile," said Kovacs in an interview yesterday with All Things D. "As more and more people access the Internet via these devices, what AVG does in this area will become ever more important." Kovacs comes to AVG after about three years at Mozilla and Adobe before that. AVG says that Kovacs is a good fit because of his strong mobile background and that they also feel he will help them usher in a new open source era at the company.
Microsoft files DMCA Takedown with Google against itself
Last week during a team effort to combat piracy, a company working in conjunction with Microsoft filed a DMCA takedown request with Google which included 6 URLs from Microsoft itself. Yes, that means Microsoft filed a DMC takedown notice against itself on the grounds of copyright infringement. The links were generated by automated software and show how flawed the system truly is.
The software used to automate the process often hurts many more innocent webmasters than it does copyright infringers, and false triggers like this are far less rare than anyone would ever expect. In the past, Microsoft has accidentally filed DMC takedown request that targeted the US Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, TechCrunch, Wikipedia, BBC News, Bing, Google, and so many others that I could write all night and never get to the end of the list.
The takedown requests are becoming so frequent that in the past Google might have received 225,000 DMCA takedown request per week, but just over a year later they are receiving between 3.5 and 4.5 million requests every week. Google can not simply read every request and check for validity and as a result, the first half of 2013 saw Google erase 100 million links from their search engine all because an automated copyright crawler thought they might be infringing on someone's copyright. That number is double the amount of links Google removed in all of 2012 and several times more than in 2011.

Senior Apple VP leaves his team, is now working on 'special projects'
It looks like Apple's Senior Vice President, Bob Mansfield, has left his post and is now working on "special projects" where he reports directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Mansfield did semi-retire last year, but returned two months into his retirement. He eventually led a new division within Apple that worked on semiconductor and wireless hardware. What could Mansfield be working no now? The New York Times recently wrote that he was "engrossed" with wearable technologies, so we might see his products in the coming years.
I'm sure that with Google Glass and other wearable tech, Apple doesn't want to be left behind.
Amazon creates 5,000 new full-time jobs across the US
It wasn't long ago that we were reporting that US-based e-tailer Amazon reached record highs on their share prices, and not long after that we reported about Amazon tripling their employees to over 97,000 in the last three years.
Now the company has announced they've created 5,000 new full-time jobs in its US fulfillment network in order to meet increased customer demand. Amazon are quite generous, too, with their median pay in their fulfillment centers around 30% higher than employees in traditional retail stores. This isn't even counting the fact that Amazon offer stock grants to full-time staff, which add an average of 9% to base pay each year.
Dave Clark, Vice President of Worldwide Operations and Customer Service at Amazon said: "We're hiring more than 5,000 people to join our team and help us continue to innovate and serve our customers. We're focused on sustained innovation across Amazon and want to help our employees succeed-whether at Amazon or elsewhere-so we offer programs like Career Choice, where we'll pay for up to 95% of eligible employees' tuition regardless of whether the skills they learn are relevant to a career at Amazon."

A trip back from Boston the other day, and then a talk we heard on the Native American "highways" of Maine, reminded us of our rivers again. We focus so much on the Atlantic, here on the Mid-coast, and on the "oceanside memories made in Maine" at Spruce Point (where we greet the dawn over the ocean every day), the great rivers of the lands Down East can get overlooked.
Until you're driving north to get here.
November mornings still bring the occasional "V" of migrating ducks, Canada geese and raptors, heading for sheltering harbors and marsh bays where they can winter over, secure from the northeast storms that will batter their summer islands. We welcome back the chickadees, bluejays and dozens of others who spent summer deep in the forest and watch the woodpeckers foraging for suet and the tasty delights beneath the bark of birch trees past their prime.
While we were prolonging the season, holding out for an authentic "Indian Summer" – defined by the Old Farmer's Almanac as warm days following the first hard frost -- the climate caught up with us in a blast of wintery weather on the first day of Standard Time. If ever there was a day good for turning the clock back an hour and going back to bed, it was this past Sunday.
The Nature Conservancy recently observed that "trees can't tell us what they do for us and why we should care" and so they posted a blog featuring musicians and poets speaking for the trees.
It's pumpkin season here on the mid-coast of Maine. So much so you'd think that calendars should automatically make the word "October" start with the round orange orb. Everywhere we look there are joyous signs of this garden mascot, from the pumpkins on the lawn at the Foliage Festival at Boothbay Railway Village to the pumpkinboat regatta at the Damariscotta Pumpkin Fest to the Great Pumpkin Hunt at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.
The "Peanuts" cartoon this morning had Snoopy wishing one of his feathered friends a fond farewell. The last panel showed the bird flying back across the frame, with Snoopy thinking "I knew he was headed the wrong way, but didn't want to tell him."
This year is the 150th anniversary of the posthumous publication of Henry David Thoreau's The Maine Woods, and the musings he derived from three trips on the lakes, rivers and mountains between 1846 and 1857. We're reminded of it now when September brings the yellow woods that Robert Frost wrote about. Frost's "path diverged in a yellow woods" and taking the one "less traveled by, made all the difference."
Looking out the kitchen window the other day, we noticed the very tips of some of the hardwoods are starting to turn color. As we stood watching them in the morning sun, we were trying to decide how we would describe the gradual lengthening of the fall foliage 'shadow' as it spreads across the branches of Mid-Coast Maine. We hit upon the comparison with ripening fruit (or pumpkins). And that brought us around to apples.
Some of us think of September days in the caramel colors that marked the end of the old Super 8 home movie films. When the light got into the canister when you opened the camera and tinged those last frames you strained to include in the reel. Though this sounds like ancient history to those accustomed to shooting video with their smart phones, the analogy applies to the idea of grasping onto the gilded days of the end of the season to make sure they make it onto the memory reel called "Summer 2014."
In 1682 when two English noblemen teed off at Hoy Lake against the Duke of York and local shoemaker, John Patersone to determine whether the game of golf had originated in England or Scotland (the Duke and the Scots won), Maine was still the American frontier, a wilderness of dark spruce forests crowding down to a rocky shore. Yet already Maine was being eyed for settlement, by 1764, Europeans had settled Boothbay sufficiently to incorporate a town. Another hundred years and the coast of Maine had become vacationland for rusticators and holiday-makers streaming out of the Northeast cities on trains and steamers to places like Spruce Point Inn, expanded from a gentleman's hunting/fishing lodge to an inn in 1892. Golf kept pace.
