Another day, another rant. This time Paypal is under the radar!
** I have just heard from Paypal.
They have refused to release the money to me OR to the sellers and will hold the funds for 180 days.
Let me repeat that.
They will hold this money for 180 days – that's SIX months. We can count, Paypal. Saying 180 days doesn't lessen the blow.
What I don't get is, we are just asking them to return money to the original card. There can't be any fraud committed surely, if the money is going back to whence it came. Why on earth do they need to sit on it for six months before returning it?
I will be pursing this as far as I can because they have NO right to charge our card, take the money, hold on to it for SIX Months THEN return it! What a joke! If they suspected fraud the money should never have been taken in the first place
Be warned everyone – if Paypal take your money especially with a new account – you may not get your money back for a long time OR see the goods that you bought. Both you and the seller will be left in limbo **
Oh well, I always wondered when my eBay addiction would stop – I spent a LOT of money with eBay and Paypal and this is it for me – I won't be using their services again until they get their act together.
I've heard people moan about Paypal a LOT but up until now, they've given me little grief – I've actually liked the way they've handled disputes in the past!
My problem begins as Mr C tries to open his first Paypal account. Everything seems in order and he lets me use his account to pay for several items.
Then suddenly – an email saying that all the transactions have been blocked because his card needs to be verified…
Ok fair enough. They charge your account with £1 and you enter a special code that shows up on your bank statement – it takes 2-3 days. Security and all that.
There's a few things that bug me though.
If the account needed to be verified before it could be used to it's fullest why didn't they state this BEFOREHAND?
I have ordered some things for a kiddies birthday and also for her goody bags. They take 2 weeks to arrive and with the current delays, they may not arrive in time at all.
On top of this, why didn't they allow one or two transactions through, THEN block the others – all they had to do was tell me that further transactions would not be accepted without account verification, not take our money THEN block the account!
Instead, they went ahead with the transactions, charging the card then HOLDING ON TO THE FUNDS!
After waiting 3 days, the verification code showed up so we entered this, did more verification checks and I called their stupid international number to get the block lifted.
Instead, some polite but hugely unhelpful guy just told me to "watch my emails".
Me "But I am kind of in a rush. I'd like to know what's happening. If you aren't going to lift the ban on my account then I need to find other means."
Him "Watch your emails".
I try sending an email to them later, only to keep getting a stupid error meaning my email didn't go through – (HA! I COPY AND PASTED IT THOUGH – HA!).
Can't call again, phone lines shut at 9pm.
I get another email later on asking me to send bank statements – by fax or I could 'upload' them to their customer services. Hello? Data Protection? Which part of that sounds safe? Are you the Queen? Are you Border Control? Thought not.
Guess what – I am NOT that desperate to use your payment services. I don't want to send you private material to examine – we already did two of your verification checks so if that's not enough – tough.
What I am peed off about if how I am now delayed (if they are holding funds, the sellers obviously can't send the goods) PLUS, they are just hanging on to the money, nicely collecting interest? Who knows.
I have contacted them again today – basically I want them to cancel all the transactions and return all the money. There will be other ways to pay people, I just don't see why they should be allowed to hold on to the cash with very little explanation of what THEY are doing with it with no consent!
It would've been a million times better if they just declined all of the transactions in the first place rather than processing each one and holding on to the money then making us work hard just to get it back!
How will it end? Keep your eyes peeled!

Overview and Design
** Updated on 3rd February 2012 **
The original article published on 26th December 2011 has been updated with performance results from an updated Android 4.0 equipped ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Price. If you've read this article previously, head straight to the updated performance and battery life sections.
ASUS' Prime Time
The first mention of quad-core Android tablets arriving by end of the year was made by NVIDIA's CEO and President Jen-Hsun Huang during an interview in September. While he prided the company for being the first chipset maker to deliver a mobile quad-core processor, he kept everybody guessing as to which Android vendor would be the first to bring a quad-core tablet to the market.
ASUS came on the radar scope when Lambda Tek Component Shop revealed an unnamed device with the model number TF201-1I020A on its listing. It was reported to have a Tegra 3 processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage capacity and a 10.1-inch display. Weeks later, ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih unveiled the Eee Pad Transformer Prime at the AsiaD Conference, where he proudly showed off a refined design that boasts an ultra thin 8.3mm thin profile. With Acer and Lenovo launching their quad-core tablets in early 2012, ASUS has an early head start in the market with the Eee Pad Transformer Prime. Read on to find out what ASUS has packed in its new tablet: -
Key highlights of the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime (Wi-Fi)
Design Aspects
Primed to be a worthy sequel to the original Transformer, the Transformer Prime needs more than a processor upgrade to make its debut. It would be an understatement to claim that ASUS "merely" redesigned the slate. It seems that ASUS gave the Transformer Prime a complete design overhaul to stay fresh, and more importantly, a step or two ahead of the competition.
Overall, ASUS did a great job with the design of the Eee Pad Transformer Prime. The choice of using aluminum not only makes the Transformer Prime lighter (586g), it also gives the device a very solid feel. Although the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the lightest (565g) among the 10.1-inch tablets, we are willingly to overlook the extra bulk and opt for a better designed tablet like the Transformer Prime. Having said that, you will feel right at home using the Transformer Prime in one hand although two-handed operation will obviously be more comfortable.
The major gripe we had with the Transformer Prime is its glossy display which is a fingerprint and smudge magnet. We found ourselves taking a cleaning cloth to wipe the display after a few minutes of usage. You may want to consider getting a screen protector to minimize the problem.

Metal Church – A Light In The Dark (2006, SPV/Steamhammer)
- A Light In The Dark
- Beyond All Reason
- Mirror Of Lies
- Disappear
- The Believer
- Temples Of The Sea
- Pill For The Kill
- Son Of The Sun
- More Than Your Master
- Blinded By Life
- Watch The Children Pray 2006 (for David Wayne)
Band Lineup:
Ronny Munroe – Vocals
Kurdt Vanderhoof – Guitar & Keyboards
Jay Reynolds – Guitar
Steve Unger – Bass
Jeff Plate – Drums
Like many Metalheads, I started listening to Metal Church with the release of their classic self-titled debut way back in 1984. I also got into the follow-up record, The Dark (1986)…..another classic! Metal Church had made a serious name for themselves in a short period of time. Over the years, I haven't really given the band much thought. I reach for the first two albums but subsequent releases like Hanging In The Balance or Masterpeace just left me looking for something from Metal's past.
In 2004, with new vocalist Ronny Munroe at the helm, Kurdt and company released The Weight Of The World. I heard some bits and pieces but I never got around to buying it, the lineup changes and change of direction had turned me off.
Enter 2006. Another Metal Church record…..A Light In The Dark. I picked it up the day of release and let it sit in the pile. I pulled it out on vacation last week and gave it some spins. At first listen, I didn't like it. The music was good but Munroe's vocals bothered me it sounded like he was trying too hard, straining and forcing. After at least a dozen more listens, I've decided that Ronny Munroe has that grit, that roughness that makes the songs seem harder. Reminds me of original Metal Church vocalist David Wayne (R.I.P.) crossed with Tim Owens (ex-Judas Priest, current Iced Earth/Beyond Fear).
This album is a grower. There is some killer guitar here and the songwriting is OK. All in all…..a good album, not a classic. Fave tracks here: A Light In The Dark, Beyond All Reason, and Watch The Children Pray 2006. The good news is that the band has new life and has an eye for the future. Metal Church has also given me a reason to pick up The Weight Of The World and revisit everything after The Dark.

Probably Not Effective Treatments
Originally, the term attention deficit disorder (ADD) referred to children who were incapable of concentrating at school. Hyperkinesia was used somewhat synonymously, as a descriptive term for children who simply couldn't sit still. Today, the definition has broadened to include many adults, and has been refined into two conditions: ADD and ADHD (attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder). Characteristics include difficulty sustaining attention or completing tasks, easy distractibility, impulsive behavior, and, in the case of ADHD, an excessive inclination to fidget and move about. These problems make it difficult to succeed at work or at school.
Conventional treatment focuses on stimulants, such as amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta), as well as the newer drug atomoxetine (Strattera). Certain antidepressants may also be useful.
Proposed Natural Treatments
There is some evidence that the supplement DMAE (2-Dimethylaminoethanol) may be helpful for ADD, according to studies performed in the 1970s. Two such studies were reported in a review article. 1 Fifty children aged 6 to 12 years who had been diagnosed with hyperkinesia participated in a double-blind study comparing DMAE to placebo . The dose was increased from 300 mg daily to 500 mg daily by the third week and continued for 10 weeks. Evaluations revealed statistically significant test score improvements in the treatment group compared to the placebo group.
Another double-blind study compared DMAE with both Ritalin and placebo in 74 children with "learning disabilities." 1 (It appears that today, the participants would have been given a diagnosis of ADD). The study found significant test score improvement for both treatment groups over a 10-week period.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full DMAE article.
The mineral zinc has shown some promise for treatment of ADHD. In a large double-blind, placebo-controlled study (approximately 400 participants), use of zinc at a dose of 35 mg daily produced statistically significant benefits as compared to placebo. 26 This dose of zinc is higher than nutritional needs, but not so high as to be unsafe. However, the benefits seen were quite modest: about 28% of the participants given zinc showed improvement, but so did 20% in the placebo group.
Another, much smaller study evaluated whether zinc at 15 mg per day could enhance the effect of Ritalin. 27 Again, modest benefits were seen. Finally, exceedingly weak evidence hints that zinc might enhance the effectiveness of evening primrose oil for ADHD (see next section). 28
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Zinc article.
Essential Fatty Acids
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are "good fats," substances as important to your general health as vitamins. Based on evidence that essential fatty acids are necessary for the proper development of brain function in growing children, EFAs found in fish oil and evening primrose oil have been tried for the treatment of ADHD and related conditions. The results have been mixed, though.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 75 children with ADHD found that daily supplementation with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may reduce ADHD symptoms in some children. 37 However, in a similarly designed study of 50 such children , use of essential fatty acids from fish oil and evening primrose oil failed to provide any consistent, significant benefit above and beyond the placebo effect. 29 And, in a slightly smaller trial, weak evidence of benefit was seen. But, the results are difficult to interpret due to the high number of people who dropped out. 3 In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of children already using stimulant therapy, the addition of the essential fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, found in fish oil) for 4 months failed to further improve symptoms. 20 A systematic review produced more promising results, though. In the review, 10 randomized trials involving 699 children with ADHD found that those who took omega-3 fatty acids experienced modest improvements in certain symptoms like inattentiveness and hyperactivity. 38
Evening primrose oil alone failed to prove effective for attention deficit disorder in a small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. 21 In a placebo-controlled, comparative trial, evening primrose oil proved less effective than standard medical treatment. 22 However, a close look at the data in this last trial hinted that evening primrose oil might have been more effective in people with adequate zinc levels. 28 This suggests that combination therapy with zinc and evening primrose oil should be tested, but, thus far, this approach has not undergone meaningful study.
Other Natural Treatments
A small, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial evaluated the possible efficacy of the supplement carnitine for ADD in boys 13 and younger. 23 Approximately 50% of the participants responded to carnitine , a significantly higher percentage than responded to placebo. These promising results suggest that a larger trial is warranted.
A combination of American Ginseng and ginkgo has shown some promise for treatment of ADHD. 30
Vitamin B 3 (niacin), vitamin B 6 , and multivitamin/multimineral supplements have been recommended for the treatment of ADD. However, a review of the literature found no meaningful evidence to indicate that any of these treatments are effective. 4
One study is sometimes said to have proven magnesium helpful for ADD, 24 but, in fact, the study design was too inadequate to prove much of anything.
Other supplements that are sometimes recommended for ADD include calcium , iron , inositol , trace minerals, blue-green algae, combinations of amino acids (usually GABA, glycine, taurine , L-glutamine , L-phenylalanine , and L-tyrosine ), and combinations of the polysaccharides galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylneuraminic acid, fucose, N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, and xylose. St. John's wort has also become popular recently, but unlike depression, there is no convincing evidence for its effectiveness against ADD. 36Note : St. John's Wort interacts with many medications and could conceivably impair the effectiveness of conventional treatments for ADD.
One study hints that massage might be helpful for ADD. 25
It is commonly said that, sugar, food allergens, and food additives, such as artificial colors, contribute to ADD symptoms. However, the body of published evidence regarding these therapies remains incomplete and contradictory. 5-19,31,35 The best evidence regards artificial colors and food additives. In a 2012 review of 35 controlled trials, researchers focused on the possible effects that artificial food coloring may have on ADHD symptoms. 39 A sub-analysis of 6 trials involving 195 children with ADHD found that restricting these dyes resulted in an improvement in symptoms. A larger sub-analysis of 20 trials and 794 children provided further evidence by showing that children experienced a worsening of symptoms when they returned to their normal diet after following a restriction diet. However, most of these improvements were not observed when the analysis was narrowed to include only FDA-approved food additives. The researchers estimated that about 8% of children may experience worsening ADHD symptoms when exposed to artificial food coloring.
A double-blind study reported in 2005 failed to find benefits for ADD with a treatment known as Bach flower remedies . 32
One study found that the supplement melatonin may be helpful for improving sleep in children with ADHD taking stimulant medications. 33 However, melatonin does not appear to be helpful for ADHD symptoms per se. 34
Suntheanine, a supplement that contains a compound of black tea, showed some promise in improving sleep quality in boys with ADHD. 40

I was just reading about a new book called "League of Denial," which was the basis of a two-hour PBS Frontline documentary which aired Oct. 8. The book was written by ESPN reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru, about the NFL's handling—or lack of same—of the rising incidence of health problems in players and former players resulting from repeated concussions.
I haven't read the book, and haven't decided whether I will: it would probably end my days of watching pro football, and I'm just not sure I'm ready for that, yet. However, from Amazon's promotional description of the book, as well as the reader reviews, the NFL's repeated denials of concussion-related problems in its players are strikingly similar to the securities industry's current stance on its responsibilities to its investor clients.
"Professional football players do not sustain frequent repetitive blows to the brain on a regular basis," concluded a 2005 NFL sponsored "scientific" paper, as reported by the Fainaru brothers. Hard to believe, right? It was statements like this, which would render incredulous any second-grader who watched an NFL game for more than five minutes, to finally settle a class action suit with 4,500 former players over the payment of benefits for concussion-related illnesses.
That's right: even harder to believe is that the NFL was denying medical benefits to players suffering from the aftermath of years of repeated concussions, such as dementia, brain damage, paralysis and even, eventually, death. What's more, the settlement amount of $765 million works out to only $170,000 per player, and that's before deducting legal fees. Many former players have already run up medical bills in excess of that figure, which have not been covered by the league.
"League of Denial" purports to show "how the NFL, over a period of nearly two decades, sought to cover up and deny mounting evidence of the connection between football and brain damage." That mounting evidence includes independent neuro-scientific studies that show "no amount of padding could protect the human brain from the force generated by modern football."
Now before I get a bunch of angry comments, yes, I'm well aware that football players assume the risk of their profession. Football is violent and dangerous and nobody knows that better than the players themselves. But what the players may not have known are the long-term consequences of their injuries. And if, as the Fainarus claim to show, the NFL did know it, and not only didn't share the knowledge with its players (read: employees, here), and worse denied them benefits for treatment to cover up the truth, I think most us would think there was a serious wrong committed.
The parallels here to the securities industry, at least to my mind, are pretty obvious. Instead of the employees being kept in the dark (although I suspect some of them are), it is the brokerage clients who don't understand how the game is really played. Not only are financial markets and investment vehicles complex subjects (and in the case of some derivatives actually "rocket science") that take years of education and experience to master, but study after study has shown that most investors are under the delusion that their brokers have a legal duty to act in their best interests.
I'm really not trying to cast aspersions here. In fairness, the brokerage industry grew up in a world where most clients were wealthy, and therefore at least presumed to be financially sophisticated, and investments were largely straightforward. (Not unlike football when they wore leather helmets, and before steroids.) But the world has changed since then, for both football and investing. Today, most investors are middle-class and financially unsophisticated—and therefore in need of professionals who are on their side of the table, to help them manage their finances.
Like the NFL, it's time for the securities industry to grow up: to face the realities of their industry and the needs of today's financial consumer. SIFMA is right that the issue today is about business models. But "business model neutrality" is not the solution: the brokerage model of retail securities sales is outdated, a thing of the past. And the brokerage firms know it: we see them wrestling with how to provide advice, yet still clinging to the conflicts of commissions, proprietary products, principal trading and controlled arbitration. (Just as the NFL has changed its rules to limit helmet-to-helmet contact.)
I don't know what the solution is for the NFL: large, soft Stay-Puft marshmallow-like helmets? Touch football?
The future of Wall Street is more clear (at least to me): Independent RIA firms that act as gatekeepers between their clients and financial product manufacturers. And the brokerage firms who accept this new model soonest will be those that survive.

- How to Read a Study Record
Pharmacists do not provide immediate contraception to women after emergency contraception (EC); they can only give advice on local contraceptive services.
The investigators wish to establish the following 2 pharmacy- based interventions in NHS Lothian, designed to increase uptake of effective contraception as soon as possible, after EC
- Pharmacists would provide one packet of progestogen-only pills, giving women one month to arrange an appointment with contraceptive services.
- Rapid access to a family planning clinic upon presentation of the empty EC packet. Women would be seen as a 'walk-in' and contraception provided.
If feasible, these interventions could reduce unintended pregnancies.
Participating pharmacies will be randomised to provide one of the interventions, or standard care (verbal/written advice on local contraceptive services).
Women requesting EC from study pharmacies will be recruited by the research nurse/doctor to participate in the study that will involve them consenting to contact by telephone 6-8 weeks after EC by the researcher, to evaluate the interventions in terms of :
(i) determine women's experiences/ views of the interventions and control. (ii) determine if women have commenced effective contraception and if not , reasons why.
A subset of 12 women will also be invited for in-depth interview to collect more detailed qualitative data on their EC experience.
The investigators also wish to (iii) explore pharmacists views on the interventions
Data from this pilot will enable the investigators to determine whether a larger multisite study is feasible. The aims of a larger study being to determine if either of the two interventions being tested result in an increased proportion of women using effective ongoing contraception compared to the control.
|Condition or disease
|Contraceptive Use After Emergency Contraception
|Other: rapid access Other: one month progestogen only pill
|Not Applicable
The investigators propose to test 2 pharmacy based interventions to increase uptake of effective contraception after EC:
- Pharmacists would provide one packet of progestogen-only pills to women, so that they would have 28 days to arrange an appointment with contraceptive services to get a supply of ongoing contraception.
- Rapid access to a family planning clinic upon presentation of their empty(used) packet of EC. Women would be seen as a 'walk-in' (without appointment) and ongoing contraception discussed and provided.
These interventions would be compared with the status quo, i.e. pharmacists give verbal advice and written information on local contraceptive services where ongoing contraception can be accessed.
The interventions that we are testing are low cost i.e one packet of progestogen-only pills (£3 for most costly brand) plus additional consultation time with the pharmacist (estimated 20 mins@ £1 per minute), versus the staff consultation time in a family planning clinic. In the family planning clinic, women would be seen as a 'walk-in' and so this may not add costs, since staff are already present.These interventions could, if shown to be effective, offer huge costs savings to the NHS, by reducing the costs of unintended pregnancies (abortion, miscarriage, birth).

TV for the Jetsons
Tuesday, March 12th 2013
This poem by Bing Gordon was presented at SXSW 2013, 3/12/13
Who will be left at the altar, who'll be the happy groom In the race to dominate the business of the new living room? Who will be the best and most innovative to adapt To couch potatoes with a second screen on their lap?
Will tablets and phones play such a significant role That wives will finally get to hold the family remote control? If content is still king who will be the distribution pawn To get paid lower and lower monthlies to put Game of Thrones on?
You'd have to be a Luddite or quite a bullshitter Not to give the inside track to the inventors at Twitter. Beyonce knocked the power out, brought Super Bowl fans to their feet, And, instead of watching commercials, viewers sent 22 million tweets.
Xbox Live is a great business, worthy of at least honorable mention, It's as big as a minivan, but with amazing customer engagement and retention! It's the new place to watch Netflix, its user interface is clean, And, when they launch the next Xbox, they'll actually show the machine.
The cable oligarchs have dug in, making big upstream bets; Is that why we haven't seen a real Apple TV yet? TV Everywhere is a big idea, could make Jeff Bewkes the Man! But I also kind of like the simplicity of tagging with Shazam.
How about Nintendo's Wii U? They are marketing it busily, But, imho, it depends on Shigeru Miyamoto, the game industry's Walt Disney. The dongle providers like Onlive and Gaikai have their defenders But will it be "HDMI-don't care" to all the add on pretenders?
All these Glass products kind of make me nervous! And does anyone actually use Windows phones or Surface? Will YouTube be a layer, a network or just a CDN? When we drive Google cars, will we still feel like real men?
This will drive mansion prices; where will they rise most? For Hollywood, the Valley, or the money people of the East Coast? Will the future be won by code, contracts or creative — That new grapple? Or, in the end, will we all just be vassals of Apple?
Don't expect neutrality from me, or an answer too formal, I am one of those people who see games as the "new normal." Whether it's a swipe, a click, or a Kinect move, I'll do whatever I must do, As long as TV content is as good as World of Warcraft, Madden Football or Farmville 2.

Located in Australia, we have a regional presence in a major city and influential local suburbs. Our business interests includes residential (unique,classy individual designed ) homes for clients.We do single and two storey buildings , adititions and alterations of homes. We are trying to portray a professional , classy individual building company that understands the clients dreams and visions.
We are a small building company that focuses on a small number of projects allowing us to concentrate our attention to detail while cutting costs
We are targeting elite clients that want individual designed homes, single and two storey homes, not project homes . They like classy simple designs , less is more .The clients dislike comical logos and tacky designs.Classy colours !
We have to compete against hundreds of builders and project homes so we need a simple eye catching logo that attracts the client to want to call us and not our competitors !
Our logo should meet the following design criteria:
- Emphasis is on word ROE more than the word builders . We can use the logo ROE if we expand to realestate or other ventures .Something like the word TRUMP .
- A visually bold and easily recognized design ( viewed from signs placed outside of construciton sites ) Logo will also used on trucks
- Presents a creative and professional image of our firm
- A modern and sleek interpretation on a traditional name brand
- Design does not need to be industry specific (building symbols, etc), but should not eliminate use in the building industry
- Logo should be usable in both color and black/white
- Logo colour should be appropriate for builders / trades / workmen to wear , no pinks/pastels!
-Logo should be a logo that with-stands time , can still be used 50 years later
Our company is looking to stand out from a traditional group in our industry. Our focus is on residential, commercial, and suburban individual building designs. We would like to develop an iconic brand and are open to various uses of color, fonts and illustration (i.e. Nike swoosh) to solidify the corporate brand.
Logo will be used in multiple forms of media (print, online, road signage, website , hats , safety wear, uniforms etc). Viewed on cars and trucks !

UH Hilo administrator to receive national award for outstanding serviceUniversity of Hawaiʻi
University of Hawaii at Hilo
Dr. Keith Miser, vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, has been selected as the recipient of the 2007 Scott Goodnight Award for Outstanding Service as a Dean.
The award is given annually by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA). Goodnight, a former dean of men at the University of Wisconsin, served as NASPA's founding president from 1919-1920, and was described by his colleagues as the "Dean's Dean."
"We're very pleased that NASPA has selected Dr. Miser for this important award," said UH Hilo Chancellor Rose Tseng. "Everyone from our students to administrators have benefited tremendously from his dynamic leadership and the special passion he brings to his job each and every day. The entire University joins me in congratulating him for receiving the recognition he so richly deserves."
The Scott Goodnight Award recognizes individuals who demonstrate personal commitment to student affairs administration, high-level competency in administrative skills, innovative response in meeting students' varied and emerging needs, effectiveness in developing junior staff members, and leadership in community and university affairs.
In recommending him for the award, Dr. Narbeth "Nobby" Emmanuel, vice chancellor for student affairs at Southern Illinois University, said Miser has earned the highest respect, admiration and approbation from those who have come in contact with him during his career as a teacher, advisor, educator, and mentor.
Miser has been credited with having created and developed one of the better nationally recognized college student personnel programs during his tenure at the University of Vermont. But Emmanuel said the quality that makes him so outstanding and exceptional is his compassion, caring and kindness, especially for underserved and disadvantaged students.
"His deep commitment and almost zeal-like passion to find ways to assure that these young minds achieved their hopes, dreams and aspirations has made a profound and lasting impact on the lives of many forever indebted students," Emmanuel wrote. "Keith's gentle nature and warm personality made the Miser residence a home away from home for those who were in need of additional caring and support."
Miser's commitment to his students has also had a significant impact on his profession. Emmanuel noted that he is perhaps one of a handful of mentors who have mentored numerous professionals who have gone on to assume senior- level student affairs positions across the country. They include Emmanuel and his two co-nominators who were mentored by and worked for Miser during his tenure at the University of Vermont.
"Keith is known to have walked the corridors and hallways of the placement centers with a briefcase of resumes of his advisees for colleagues that were looking for the best and brightest," Emmanuel wrote. "His network was wide and varied because of the reputation that he has earned over time in the profession."
Emmanuel said Miser epitomizes the attributes of Scott Goodnight for whom the award is named, and that his upcoming retirement will be an immeasurable loss to the profession.
Miser will formally receive his award at the NASPA Annual Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, April 3, in Orlando, Florida.

Although I pay attention to the miles that much of my family's food travels to get to our table and I buy a lot of local food, there are certain things that I can never get local. Bananas are one of them. I still buy them.
I have two growing boys who want to eat them. I also buy them grapes and apples out of season because quite frankly I'm afraid of having to take them to the doctors one day and finding out they have scurvy because it isn't local fruit season.
Apples and imported grapes (most of the grapes I can get in winter are from Chile) are two fruits that should be bought organically because the conventional ones are heavily contaminated with pesticides. They are #2 and #9 respectively on the Environmental Working Groups Dirty Dozen Foods.
Bananas fall way down at #37 on their list. Because they have a thick skin, the fruit inside is fairly protected from the chemical pesticides and fertilizers that are sprayed on banana trees. Some get through, but compared to some other fruits, they are less contaminated.
I used to buy conventional bananas because I wasn't too worried about the fruit and used my money to buy other foods organically. But then I read something that made me willing to spend the extra money on organic bananas. The fruit inside the bananas may be protected from many of the chemicals that are sprayed onto banana trees, but the workers who pick the bananas are not.
The workers on many conventional banana plantations are subject to harsh, unhealthy working conditions including being constantly exposed to the chemicals being sprayed on the plants. According to Banana Link many countries have laws on the books to prevent this, but those laws aren't enforced. Some employers will
fine workers who fail to continue working during aerial spraying. In Ecuador flagmen (often clothed only in jeans and Tshirts) are employed to guide in the crop spraying planes in the knowledge that they face 'a slow death'. Workers risk cancer, sterility or other serious diseases from pesticide poisoning.
In 2002 a human rights group report reported widespread child labour in Ecuador. In its investigation, Human Rights Watch found that Ecuadorian children as young as eight work on banana plantations in hazardous conditions. Although it is against the law, there are under-age young people working on banana plantations instead of attending school; this is so that they can help increase the family income to a decent level.
Not all of my food choices for my family are based on environmental decisions. Some of them are based on socially conscious decisions.
A few years ago, my grocery shopping decisions were made based on what store had the cheapest price on meat and where I could get the biggest bang for my coupons. Now my choices are more complicated, but I understand that paying more for some of the foods my family eats does good and it's worth the complication. I like to do good.
Next time you are at the grocery store, compare the organic bananas with the conventional ones. Take two bunches that weigh relatively the same and see what the price difference is on the scale. Then ask yourself if the extra money is that much of a hardship. I understand that it just may be. Your budget may not allow you pay the extra. But, it may, and I wanted to give you the information you need to make an informed decision in your produce isle.

To limit the spread of infection and at the advisement of the State of Montana (what's up Governor Bullock!) we have temporarily closed our warehouse. Items that were not shipped before we closed on Friday March 27th cannot currently be shipped because we only have one person in our warehouse keeping things secure and ensuring that the Hanklerfish don't get up to anything funny. This also means that we are unable to process any replacements or returns at this time. Seriously, though, this sucks but we are doing our part. - The DFTBA Team

The best way to manage the impacts of flood is to be prepared.
Knowing your local area and being aware of local conditions is essential when protecting yourself, your family, your livestock and your property.
Emergency flood plan and other resources
Like many natural disasters, it is very hard to respond to a flood efficiently without sufficient preparation and planning.
The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) has created an emergency floodsafe plan for your household or business. They also provide some additional resources for proper flood preparation on the FloodSafe website:
The Ministry for Police and Emergency Services has also worked with the SES to produce NSW State Flood plan.
This plan sets out the mitigation, preparation, warning, response and recovery arrangements for flooding in New South Wales and the responsibilities of agencies and organisations with regard to these functions.
We recommend you plan well in advance and understand the risks and hazards surrounding your home and/ or land.
How we can help
Local Land Services offer flood emergency advice and support where possible. Many of our officers are trained to oversee planning and lead relief programs during emergencies.
Flood information
For up to date and localised information about flooding in your region contact the SES on 132 500 or visit the NSW SES website.
Real-time water data app
The NSW Office of Water in DPI has released a mobile phone application for accessing real-time water data for New South Wales.
The application allows water users to instantly access information from handheld devices on stream and salinity levels for surface water, major dam levels and inflows and water table data.
This free mobile app is available for iPhone (iTunes store) and Android (Google Play store).

I was awarded the prominent price of Graduate of the Year 2012 at Aarhus University Herning.
The price is awarded to a student who has had significant impact on the study environment at Aarhus University and I was awarded Graduate of the Year 2012 for my work with the Thought Leader Series.
At the graduation ceremony Friday the 29th of June, everything was just as any graduation ceremony should be. There were speeches from directors, students and a long process of diplomas being handed to all the proud and happy graduates. I was among the graduates and together with all my friends; I enjoyed receiving my second diploma in a week.
The last entry on the scheduled ceremony program was presentation of awards. A total of 10 students received prices all for their great results on their bachelor thesis. The very last price awarded was the price of Graduate of the Year 2012. I had absolutely no idea that I was a candidate to receive the price, and as the University Director Michael Goodsite was reading out loud the argumentation for awarding this year's price, I was still in great doubt. However, my friends around me didn't seem to doubt that much and a lot of turning heads and pokes from those within reach became a reality.
Being awarded the price among so many great students is an honour and I was truly happy and a bit proud to be the one shaking the hands of the University Director. The price symbolised the ending of a great three years of my life and it feels good looking back knowing that I made a significant impact that was recognised and appreciated by the university and the management.
The following speech was read out loud by Center Director Michael E. Goodsite at the ceremony:
" The student, who are to receive the award "Graduate of the Year", has contributed to the value of Aarhus University, Business and Social Sciences, AU Herning in the best possible way. The student has taken a rare and original initiative to bring to AU Herning the experience and actions of real life companies. The initiative has made a difference for all students at AU Herning without exception. The student has in his spare time, next to his daily studies, and without any compensation, managed to arrange for a series of presentations, where CEOs with a nerve and thought have shared their story. Egetaepper, JBS, EG, Rationel, and MCH are just a few of the mid and western Jutlandic companies which have been represented in the "Thought-Leader Series". The Students activities greatly support our strategic value 'closeness to the Business Community'. The Student has also participated in our Buddy program to assist exchange student settle at AU Herning. The student is rich on initiative and a very responsible person. We have seen that this student has gone through an impressive personal development through his student life here at AU Herning – this is a flower that has been nourished by his study and social activities – and who is now UNIQ and ready to take new challenges. It is with pleasure we present the award to HAim graduate: Michael Alexander Hold. ,,

For GNOME 3, the GNOME Project has started from scratch and created a completely new, modern desktop designed for today's users and technologies. In GNOME 3:
- There is a new default modern visual theme and font
- The Activities view which provides an easy way to access all your windows and applications
- Built-in (integrated) messaging desktop services
- A more subtle notifications system and a more discreet panel
- A fast Activities search feature
- A new System Settings application
- ... and more features like: window tiling (Aero Snap like), an improved Nautilus etc.

GNOME3 comes with two interfaces, gnome-shell (the new, standard layout) and fallback mode. gnome-session will automatically detect if your computer is capable of running gnome-shell and will start fallback mode if not.
Fallback mode is very similar to the GNOME 2.x layout (while using gnome-panel and metacity, instead of gnome-shell and Mutter).
If you are on fallback mode you can still change the window manager with your preferred one.
Upgrade from the current gnome 2.32
Enable testing repo.
Edit /etc/pacman.conf and uncomment testing.
#testing uncommented [testing] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
For 64 bit systems you must also add the multilib repository below the code above. It will look like this.
#testing uncommented with multilib repository enabled for 64bit systems. [testing] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist [multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# pacman -Syu
Important: You will end up with a system that has GNOME 3.x fallback mode. To install the new shell:
# pacman -S gnome-shell
Installing to a new system
Enable testing in the same way as above.
# pacman -Syu testing/gnome
For additional applications
# pacman -Syu testing/gnome-extra
Daemons and modules needed by GNOME
The GNOME desktop requires one daemon, DBUS for proper operation.
To start the DBUS daemon:
# /etc/rc.d/dbus start
Or add these daemons to the DAEMONS array in Template:Filename so they will start on boot up, e.g.:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network crond)
GVFS allows the mounting of virtual file systems (e.g. file systems over FTP or SMB) to be used by other applications, including the GNOME file manager Nautilus. This is done with the use of FUSE: a user space virtual file system layer kernel module.
To load the FUSE kernel module:
# modprobe fuse
Or add the module to the MODULES array in Template:Filename so they will load at boot up, e.g.:
MODULES=(fuse usblp)
Running GNOME
For better desktop integration GDM is recommended (but other login managers, such as SLiM also work, see Policykit section).
# pacman -S gdm
Check out Display_Manager to learn how to start it correctly.
If you prefer to start it from the console, add the following line to your Template:Filename file, making sure it's the last line and the only one that starts with exec (see xinitrc):
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
Now GNOME will start when you enter the following command:
$ startx
Using the shell
See https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet
Using Gnome-tweak-tool
# pacman -S gnome-tweak-tool
This tool can customize fonts, themes, minimize & maximize buttons and some other useful settings like what action is taken when the lid is closed.
A good customization tutorial is http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/03/customizing-the-gnome-3-shell.html which explores the power of gsettings.
Setting an icon theme
Usefully, Gnome 3 is able to use Gnome 2 icon themes, which means you're not stuck with the somewhat drab default set. To do this, simply copy your desired icon theme's directory to /usr/share/icons. For example:
$ cp -R /home/user/Desktop/my_new_icon_theme /usr/share/icons
The new icon theme 'my_new_icon_theme' will now be selectable using the gnome-tweak-tool (under 'Interface').
# su - gdm -s /bin/bash $ dbus-launch
This command will print DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID. We need to export them
$ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-Jb433gMQHS,guid=fc14d4bf3d000e38276a5a2200000d38 $ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=4283
Check to see if dconf-service is running and if not, start it like this
$ /usr/lib/dconf/dconf-service &
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri $ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/SundownDunes.jpg"
Turning off the sound
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds false
Changing the GTK3 theme using settings.ini
Similar to Template:Filename for GTK2+ it is possible to set the GTK3 (Gnome 3) theme via Template:Filename. By default Template:Filename is interpreted as Template:Filename.
[Settings] gtk-theme-name = Adwaita gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true # applicable only if selected theme supports it
It may be necessary to restart one's DE or WM for the settings to be applied.
Start program automatically after login to GNOME 3
You can specify which programs to start automatically after login using the gnome-session-properties tool, which is a part of the gnome-session package.
$ gnome-session-properties
The displayed folders are specified in Template:Filename and can be altered with any editor. An execution of Template:Codeline will change them again, thus it may be advisable to set the file permissions to read-only.
Setting the default terminal via console
Template:Codeline, which replaces Template:Codeline in Gnome 3, is used to set e. g. the default terminal manually. The setting is relevant for nautilus-open-terminal.
The commands for urxvt run as daemon:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec urxvtc gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "'-e'"
Setting Nautilus to Use Location Bar Entry
If you want to enter path locations manually in Nautilus you can press ctrl+l. To make this persistent you can use gsettings.
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true
Enabling fallback mode
Your session will automatically start in fallback mode if gnome-shell is not present. If you want to enable it while having gnome-shell installed, open gnome-control-center. Open System Info > Graphics. Change Forced Fallback Mode to ON.
Gnome 3.0 hides a lot of useful options which you can customize with dconf-editor or gconf-editor for settings not yet migrated to dconf.
Changing Hotkeys
In dconf-editor, enable org.gnome.desktop.interface "can-change-accels".
An example of changing the delete hotkey: Open nautilus, select any file/directory, then click "Edit" from the menubar, and hover over the "Move to Trash" menuitem. While hovering, push delete. The accel should change from "ctrl+del" to "del".
Make sure you have selected a file, else the "Move to Trash" menuitem will be greyed out. You should disable "can-change-accels" afterwards, to prevent accidental accel changes.
For now, the Shutdown option seems to be hidden if the user presses the Status menu on the upper right. If you want to shutdown your system through the Status menu, click on it and then press the Alt button. The "Suspend" option will instantly turn into "Power off...", as long as you are pressing the Alt button, which will allow you to properly shutdown your system.
You can also install the "Alternative Status Menu" extension (see the section on Enabling Extensions, below). This will put a permanent "Power Off" option in the Status menu below the usual suspend option.
Enabling integrated messaging
Empathy, the engine behind the integrated messaging, and all of the system settings based on your messaging accounts will not show up unless the telepathy group of packages or at least one of the backends (telepathy-gabble, or telepathy-haze, for example) is installed. These are not included in the default Arch GNOME installs and the Empathy interface doesn't give a nice error message, it just fails to work silently. You can install them:
# pacman -S telepathy
Enabling extensions
Gnome Shell can be customised to an extent with extensions that have been written by others. These provide functionality like having a dock that is always present, and being able to change the shell theme. More details on the functionality of currently available extensions is given here You can use the gnome-shell-extensions-git package in the AUR to install them. Restart Gnome to enable them.
If installing the extensions causes Gnome to stop working then you must remove the user-theme extension and and the auto-move-windows extension from their installation directory (could be in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions or /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions or /usr/local/share/gnome-shell/extensions). Removing or adding extensions to these directories will remove or install them form the system. More details on Gnome Shell extensions are available here.
My GTK2+ apps show segfaults and won't start
That usually happens when oxygen-gtk is installed. That theme conflicts somehow with GNOME 3's or/and GTK3 settings and when it has been set as a GTK2 theme, the GTK2 apps segfault with errors like:
(firefox-bin:14345): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (firefox-bin:14345): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_default_colormap: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_colormap_get_visual: assertion `GDK_IS_COLORMAP (colormap)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_default_colormap: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_root_window: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_root_window: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (firefox-bin:14345): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_new: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (parent)' failed Segmentation fault
The current "workaround" is to remove oxygen-gtk from the system completely and set another theme for your apps.
I have multiple monitors and the Dock extension appears stuck between them
If you have multiple monitors configured using Nvidia Twinview, the dock extension may get sandwiched in-between the monitors. You can edit the source of this extension to reposition the dock to a position of your choosing.
Edit /firstname.lastname@example.com/extension.js and locate this line in the source:
this.actor.set_position(primary.width-this._item_size-this._spacing-2, (primary.height-height)/2);
The first parameter is the X position of the dock display, by subtracting 15 pixels as opposed to 2 pixels from this it correctly positioned on my primary monitor, you can play around with any X,Y coordinate pair to position it correctly.
this.actor.set_position(primary.width-this._item_size-this._spacing-15, (primary.height-height)/2);
There are no event sounds for Empathy and other programs
The sound-theme-freedesktop package must be installed for the default event sounds:
# pacman -S sound-theme-freedesktop
Editing hotkeys via can-change-accels fails
It is also possible to manually change the keys via an application's so-called accel map file. Where it is to be found is up to the application: For instance, Thunar's is at Template:Filename, whereas Nautilus's is located at Template:Filename. The file should contain a list of possible hotkeys, each unchanged line commented out with a leading ";" that has to be removed for a change to become active.

To some, 2011 is the year people will stop "checking in" at places, because the whole thing is just so over. To others, the idea of checking in to a place is very much alive – but as a feature, rather than as a standalone company.
Even check-in dissenters would concede that people are more likely to check in to a place if they're rewarded for doing so, whether for a discount (like the one at my otherwise un-wired local grocery store) or to get something for free.
We've just tested a new program new program from Neurotic Media that gives people who check in to a given location free MP3s from a single artist, a playlist's worth of tunes, or credits towards any music on an online music service.
The current example uses Facebook Places and an HTML5 mobile app; to try it, go to m.amplified.com with your smartphone with location services enabled for your phone's browser. It didn't work perfectly, in that the app put us many blocks away at the Atlantic Chip Shop; Neurotic Media spokeswoman Becka Hardy told us that venues need to be Facebook Places already, which my office is not.
Retailers and other businesses now have a potentially worthwhile new way to attract customers, while music marketers will likely experiment with this concept, whether through Neurotic's or some other technique in order to reach new fans.
"Our Music Check-In Incentives are like a musical 'Facebook Deal,' an incentive with high perceived value that grants a brand the power to acquire and retain consumers," said Neurotic Media CEO Shachar Oren in a prepared statement. "In the eyes of consumers, the perceived value of music is often greater than cash rewards or other forms of incentives [ed. note: we don't know about that]. Our new check in service can generate exposure for our clients, communicate great value about their brand, and help them reach new and existing consumers with a reward everyone loves: The gift of music."
There will be countless ways to do this wrong. Well-intentioned locations and marketers will surely stumble upon many of them.
The most obvious mistake will be to offer music from a heavily-promoted band that has nothing to do with the location in question. The average coffee purchaser probably doesn't need yet another way to have the latest Black-Eyed Peas creation rammed down their throat, but with the right music, at the right location, this form of check-in could pay dividends for all three parties: local businesses, artists, and listeners.
In other words, the check-in-for-music concept doesn't have to be just another annoying marketing gimmick — but only if marketers and venues take the time to associate the right music with the right places. For example, people could be more likely to check in:
- to receive a mix of the hottest-trending local bands in their area;
- to a live music venue, in order to receive music from the band that's playing, especially if it's a remix or unreleased single that fans aren't likely to have already;
- for three free months of MOG, Pandora, Slacker, Spotify, or another service (the idea here would be to offer something more substantial than credits towards downloads that might even convince users to subscribe long-term);
- for credits in a game-like social music app such as AudioVroom;
- for a mix from the same DJ who's spinning at the club where they're dancing;
- or maybe even for a playlist consisting of music from every barista on staff with a band. You know there are at least, like, six of them.

Raspberry marshmallowsWednesday, December 14th, 2011
As a teenager I had a long period when I made vanilla marshmallows on a regular basis, but as the years passed the marshmallow making slipped my mind. One week ago I found this amazing raspberry marshmallow recipe at Butter Sugar Flour. I would have never thought about combining homemade marshmallows with fruit. Do I need to mention that these lovely marshmallows were a hit at both my and my husband's office?
Raspberry Marshmallows
(adapted from Butter Sugar Flour. The original recipe calls for raspberries, making your own puree, but since I already had raspberry puree in the freezer I went with that instead. I also decreased the sugar a tiny bit and used icing sugar for dusting as I don't have snow sugar which was called for in the original recipe).
200 gram raspberry puree
475 gram caster sugar
1 cup water
20 gram powdered gelatine
2 egg whites
pinch of salt
Icing sugar for dusting
Line a cake pan (mine is 22 cm x 30 cm) with parchment paper. Dust it generously with icing sugar.
Combine the raspberry puree with gelatine in a bowl. Set aside.
Combine caster sugar and water in a pan. Cook over medium heat while stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat a bit and cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 125 degrees C. Remove from heat and let cool for max 1 minute. In the meantime beat egg whites and a pinch of salt until frothy. Carefully add the raspberry puree to the sugar/water mixture and stir until the gelatine dissolves. Gradually add the warm raspberry mixture to the egg whites while continuing to beat on medium speed. When the mixture has doubled in size decrease the speed and continue to mix until the mixture is about 40 degrees C. Pour the mixture into the cake pan, spread evenly and dust the top generously with icing sugar. Let the marshmallow batter set in room temperature for at least 3 hours. Make sure that it's firm before you start cutting with a sharp knife. Cut into squares and roll in icing sugar.
Store the raspberry marshmallows in an airtight container in room temperature. They will last up to two weeks, but you'll probably eat them all long before that…Don't forget to put a sheet of parchment paper between each layer.

Deli FAQs
Q: Why do I have to pay for my deli food at the deli register, it is sometimes very long?
A: You don't! You can pay for your deli purchases at any register in the store.
Q: I hate having to pay for my juice bar items before I receive them. They sit on the counter while I am in line and lose their nutritional benefits. Can't you come up with a better system?
A: We require all juice bar items to be paid for before receiving your item to prevent customers from drinking their juice or coffee and not paying for it. Before we put this system into place we were finding our price stickers stuffed into little crannies all over the store, which alerted us to the possibility of these items not being run through the register. You can always request that our staff wait until you return with your receipt before starting your drink so that it doesn't sit on the counter waiting for you. Just ask!
