Welcome to our coverage of WWE Cyber Sunday. We will be updating this page throughout the night with results from the show, so check back often!
The pre-show was the usual pre-taped "Free For All", just plugging the different matches and possible stipulations.
Cyber Sunday began with WWE almost immediately saying that ten million people voted. Of course, since people were able to vote as many times as they wanted, that is WWE stretching things right off the bat. The set is a giant computer, pretty much like a Taboo Tuesday. Maria and Todd Grisham hosted the voting results, with Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler doing commentary.
Umaga vs. ???
Umaga came to the ring, then they showed Kane, Chris Benoit and Sandman in the back, standing together. Kane won the vote with 49%.
Armando tried to distract Kane at the start, but Kane caught a charging Umaga with a back elbow and then got the better of an exchange of punches. Kane rammed Umaga head first into the top turnbuckle. They went back and forth, with Umaga hitting a headbutt, but Kane came back with punches and elbows. Umaga gave Kane a belly to belly suplex, then as Kane sat up, Umaga kicked him in the chest. Umaga hit a diving headbutt on Kane. Kane battled up, but Umaga took him down with a spin kick. Umaga choked Kane against the middle rope. Kane came back with a punch, but Umaga gave him a face plant. Umaga chopped Kane, and they exchanged shots again, but Umaga raked his eyes and slammed him.
Umaga went to the middle rope and hit a diving headbutt for a two count. Umaga delivered some kneelifts to Kane, then hit the running posterior charge on Kane as he was slumped in the corner. They went to the floor, and Umaga missed a clothesline and hit the ringpost. Kane rammed Umaga into the steps, then elbowed him as Umaga's neck was stretched off the ring apron. Back in the ring, Kane pounded Umaga in the corner repeatedly, then hit an uppercut. Kane headbutted Umaga, then hit a charging clothesline in the corner. Umaga gave Kane a Samoan Drop. Armando got on the apron to do the cigar breaking, but Kane sat up and grabbed Umaga for a chokeslam as Umaga turned around to do the spike. Umaga raked Kane's eyes to escape the chokeslam, but missed a charge and Kane gave him a back suplex. Kane went to the top rope, and Armando tried to stop him, but Kane kicked him away. Kane came off the top, and Umaga hit him with the spike as he came off. Umaga then lunged at Kane and hit the spike again, and got the pin at the nine minute mark.
Winner: Umaga.
Backstage, Queen Sharmell tried to convince Big Show that it was more important to retain your respective title than be Champion of Champions. Sharmell said Booker would help him if the ECW title was on the line, if he did the same for Booker in case the World Title was on the line. If Cena's title was on the line, Sharmell said it could be every man for himself. Big Show said it was every man for himself regardless, and said being Champion of Champions was important. He started to tell Sharmell what she could do with her scepter, but Sharmell stopped him and said she would inform King Booker of his decision.
Cryme Tyme vs. Highlanders vs. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs. Charlie Haas & Viscera.
Texas Tornado win the voting with 50% of the vote, so it is everyone in the ring at once, with one fall. A huge brawl broke out, with Cryme Tyme fighting Haas & Viscera in the ring and the Highlanders brawling with Cade & Murdoch on the floor. Haas got sent to the floor, while Viscera was double teamed by Cryme Tyme, only for Cade & Murdoch to run in and clean house. Then the Highlanders ran in and knocked Cade and Murdoch to the floor. The Highlanders did pescados on opponents to the floor, and we had no one in the ring. Haas and JTG got in the ring and Haas stomped him down. The traded punches and JTG hit Haas with a dropkick. Haas came back with a German suplex. Chad came in and gave Haas a big boot to the face. Viscera came in and began brawling with Chad, but Viscera planted him with a side slam. Viscera went to avalanche JTG, but he pulled Haas in front of them, and they all squashed together in the corner. The Highlanders and Cade & Murdoch got back in the ring, hitting a big boot combo and then a clothesline combo on Robbie. Cryme Tyme ran in and knocked Cade and Murdoch out, then scored the pin on the downed Robbie at the five minute mark.
Winners: Cryme Tyme.
Cryme Tyme went to ringside and celebrated with JR and Lawler, and while doing so, stole Lawler's laptop.
Backstage, Shawn Michaels was voting on a laptop over and over, trying to get the referee he wanted. Triple H talked about how Eric Bischoff claims that DX doesn't know what controversial is. Shawn said he was the person that put Bret Hart in a Sharpshooter, and that Triple H married "What's Her Name". Shawn got angry over Bischoff's comment, and proved his was "controversial" by superkicking a bunch of backstage workers (including "Stan" who Shawn asked the name of before superkicking). Triple H said that might not be controversial, but it was funny.
Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy vs. ???
Carlito was an overwhelming winner over Shelton Benjamin and Johnny Nitro.
Carlito offered to shake hands at the bell, and they did. There was a "Hardy" chant at the start. Carlito snapmared Hardy at the start and they traded pin attempts with small packages and backslides. Hardy hit a shoulderblock, and Carlito went for a leapfrog, and they awkwardly collided. Carlito dropkicked Hardy's leg out, then hit a back elbow. Carlito suplexed Hardy for a two count, but missed a clothesline and Hardy dropkicked Carlito in the gut. Hardy hit a clothesline, then covered Carlito for a two count. Carlito went for a springboard moonsault off the middle rope, but Hardy moved and Carlito landed on his feet. Hardy sent Carlito to the floor and hit a baseball slide kick. Hardy tried his walking the security wall bit, but Carlito caught him. Back in the ring, Carlito put Hardy in a chinlock, but Hardy got out and pounded Carlito in the corner. Hardy went for a V-Bomb in the corner, but Carlito got his feet up. Carlito put Hardy in a reverse bear hug, but Hardy elbowed out and hit a jawbreaker. Hardy went for a Twist of Fate, but Carlito shoved him into a corner and rolled him up for a two count.
Carlito pounded on Hardy's chest, then went back to the reverse bear hug. Jerry Lawler said 14 and a half million people have voted. I wonder if Shawn Michaels has voted that many times backstage. Hardy started to get out, but Carlito clamped on the reverse bear hug again. The fans chanted "boring". Hardy got out and elbowed Carlito, but Carlito caught him with a flapjack. Carlito got a two count, then hit a backbreaker for a two count. Carlito applied a sleeper, but Hardy got out and hit a DDT. Hardy hit a clothesline, then a second for a two count. Lawler started naming the colors in Jeff's hair. Seriously. Hardy hit a gourdbuster for a two count, then went for a Swanton Bomb, but Carlito got the knees up and scored a two count. Carlito hit a springboard senton and immediately followed with a springboard moonsault for a two count. Carlito went for a reverse DDT, and Hardy tried to reverse, but Carlito punched him. Carlito went for a springboard bodypress, but Hardy ducked. Hardy went for the Twist Of Fate, but Carlito shoved it off, only for Hardy to scale the ropes and hit the Whisper In The Wind for a two count. Hardy went to the top again, but Carlito stopped him with right hands, crotching him. Carlito went to the top rope, mocking Hardy's hand gesture, and went for a top rope rana, but Hardy blocked it, sending Carlito crashing to the mat. Hardy then hit the Swanton Bomb for the pin at the fourteen minute mark.
Winner: Jeff Hardy.

Happy Sunday all! I love fall, the season of change, -and less humidity here in South Florida – Halleluiah! This weekend I've been re-organizing and cleaning up my Pinterest boards, yes making them pretty for all the new products and images that are calling my name 🙂 [hint, hint.] Anyway, as I was changing and deleting I came across this gorgeous beaded dress by Jenny Packham, Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Don't you think? Well, if you may remember, a while back I started blogging about how your fashion style is a great starting point when decorating your home. Decorating with your favorite fashion style, it makes your space that much more personal. Select your favorite piece of clothing from your closet, choose three colors from it, and if it's a solid like in this dress, add your choice of accessories to the mix for a more dynamic look. To help in making the selection easier, use a design "mood board" to visualize the look before you buy. Easy peasy!
For inspirational rooms with the color "orange" "tangerine tango" and "orange spice" click here, and here.
I was inspired by the simple style in this solid bold orange dress the beads, the model's hair style and color.
Color Scheme Mood Board Living Room
Contemporary Style with bold orange for accent, neutral color (white heron) to calm the bright, and dark brown to ground the room.
Paint color palette by Sherwin-Williams:

I bought this pattern (The Weekender by Amy Butler) sooo long ago. Like 3+ years ago. I love this bag design, but it's a bigger project and a lot of the reviews I read said that it takes a long time to make. So it sat in a basket of patterns for years. Recently (last fall) I noticed a bunch of quilters making them on Instagram and fell in love all over again. The Quilt as you go Method is very popular and looks awesome! I'm not sure who did the quilt as you go method first, maybe Elizabeth of Oh Fransson, and I'm pretty sure there is a post on someone's? blog that shows a how to.
Anyway. I started mine before Christmas. Set it aside and decided to push through to finish it right before we left for our trip to Miami last week (9 year anniversary trip: can you believe that?). I went with the quilt as you go method using my stash of selvedges I've been saving forever.
I cut the pattern pieces from white canvas, then a layer of batting, then I sewed the selvedges on top of the batting. In hindsight I could have done without the batting. It adds nice thickness, but those seams around the bottom with all the selvedge fabric coming together were exceptionally brutal to sew through as they are super thick.
I didn't waste selvedges on the inside of the pockets and used mainly a white and gray polka dot, but also used some of this lovely fruit fabric I love so much. The inside of the bag is the same white and gray polka dot. I also used this awesome grass green canvas from Joann's for the top zipper placket and the straps. I wanted to break up the selvedges a little bit and thought this made it look modern and fun.
This bag is HUGE. I was wondering as the side pieces don't feel that big as your cutting them out. But once you get to the sides and bottom on it is so big. Bigger than my diaper bag, which is saying a lot. :)
Below it is holding a couple books, a magazine, a couple notebooks, a bag with my instax, the bigger bag with a knitting project, and the oilcloth bag with snacks, and there is still sooo much room left in it.
There are a couple things I would do differently than the pattern and what I did this time. I would use thicker cording, I went with the prepackaged cording from Joann's to save time and because it's thinner, the pattern calls for 1/4″ (I think) and that would probably have been perfect. It's not as crisp as some I've seen and doesn't hold it's shape as nicely with the thinner cord. I also would (maybe will) sew the straps down right below the cording. I am not sure why the pattern calls for the first tack down to be a couple inches down the bag, and maybe it would be fine with thicker cord, but I think mine would be better with the straps tacked down higher up. Oh and in hindsight of my trip I should have taken a small purse to carry when I didn't need it as carry-on or to tote beach towels around because it's huge. But that's it! I love it, especially all the selvedges, and the size, and the green. This is definitely my go to carry-on/big bag now. I think I may need to make another one that is plain. I love this bag by lbg Studio and I think these colors would make a fabulous Weekender.
Have you made a Weekender? Please share a link I would love to check it out. And if you haven't, please go make one. :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Golden Globes red carpet: five fashion myths dispelled
Gorgeous gowns, impeccable hair and makeup, millions of dollars worth of jewelry. And then there are the handsome guys in their tuxedos. What's not to love about award season?
There's more than a month to go before the Academy Awards but the Golden Globes is a great warm-up.
Sunday night's red carpet disproved a things you thought you knew about awards show fashion:
1. Lace is matronly. Jennifer Lopez, Emily Blunt and Michelle Dockery showed that in the right designer's hands and on the right figure, lace is anything but bride-y and boring.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The final two presidential search forums, held April 3 at Penn State's Berks and Beaver campuses, rounded out a series of five events that sought input and guidance from members of the University community in the search for Penn State's next president. Three forums previously were held at University Park.
Michael Baer, vice president and director at executive search firm Isaacson, Miller, said feedback from the forums has been extremely helpful to the firm as they prepare to recruit a pool of candidates in the next phase of the search.
"The feedback from these sessions was excellent. The members of the University Community who attended the sessions clearly feel strongly and positively about Penn State and wanted to convey their thoughts and feelings about the qualities the University's next president should possess," Baer said. "The sessions touched on a wide range of topics, and that's a good thing — there are many issues that constituents want to have addressed. All participants want a candidate who is a good listener; someone who is passionate about the institution; and someone who can convey that passion across Pennsylvania and beyond."
Paul Esqueda, senior associate dean of Academic Affairs and professor of engineering at Penn State Berks, was in attendance at the April 3 session. He said the format of the event, led by Nan Crouter, University Presidential Search and Screen Committee chairwoman and dean of the College of Health and Human Development; and Dan Hagen, committee vice chair and professor of animal science, lent itself to open and free-flowing discussion.
He said the 90-minute forum provided a capacity crowd with an opportunity to address search committee members and share thoughts about the challenges and opportunities facing the University's next president, and priorities and goals for his or her first years in office.
"The forum was very good, in my opinion. It was a very honest and frank discussion," Esqueda said. "A particular focus, from a campus perspective, was on the geographically dispersed nature of the University, and how the president should help to promote a sense of integration across the University as a whole."
Feedback from all five sessions, Baer said, will be combined with feedback from groups and individuals from across the community, including the University's Blue and White Vision Council, as the firm works to create a position profile. The profile will be designed to provide context and history, and to convey to candidates the nature, breadth and depth of the University.
Current President Rodney Erickson has announced that he will retire no later than June 30, 2014.
Updates on the search for Penn State's next president will be posted at http://presidentialsearch.psu.edu, where the public can offer input, learn about those tasked with finding the University's next leader and view the history of the Penn State presidency.
Faculty, staff, students and alumni also are encouraged to share their insight and make confidential nominations by emailing email@example.com. Other comments on the process can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. Links to both of these addresses can be found on the new site.
Additional news about the presidential search process is available at http://news.psu.edu/tag/presidential-search.

LONDON - British regulators have fined Sony 250,000 pounds ($396,100) for failing to prevent a 2011 cyberattack on its PlayStation Network which put millions of users' personal information - including names, addresses, birth dates and account passwords - at risk.
Britain's Information Commissioner's Office said Thursday that security measures in place at the time "were simply not good enough." It said the attack could have been prevented if software had been up to date, while passwords were also not secure.
David Smith, deputy commissioner and director of data protection, acknowledged that the fine for a "serious breach of the Data Protection Act" was "clearly substantial" but said that the office makes "no apologies" for that.
"There's no disguising that this is a business that should have known better," he said in a statement. "It is a company that trades on its technical expertise, and there's no doubt in my mind that they had access to both the technical knowledge and the resources to keep this information safe."
Smith called the case "one of the most serious ever reported" to the data regulator.
Sony, which has previously apologized for the data breach, said Thursday it "strongly disagrees" with the ruling and plans to appeal.
David Wilson, a spokesman for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Ltd., said the company noted that the ICO recognized that Sony was the victim of a criminal attack and that there is no evidence payment card details were accessed.
"Criminal attacks on electronic networks are a real and growing aspect of 21st century life and Sony continually works to strengthen our systems, building in multiple layers of defense and working to make our networks safe, secure and resilient," he said in a statement.

The series: The Bears lead the all-time regular-season series, 91-87-6, although the Packers have won seven of the last eight meetings (including playoff games). The Packers swept the season series last year, winning 35-21 at Lambeau Field on Dec. 25 and winning at Chicago 27-17 on Sept. 25, 2011, and also won the first meeting this season, 23-10 at Lambeau Field on Sept. 13.

The Bears' 28th-ranked offense is No. 10 in rushing and No. 17 in passing. Their fifth-ranked defense is No. 12 against the run and No. 6 against the pass.
The line: The Packers are favored by 2.5 points.

Talking takeaways: While bolting to a 7-1 start, the Bears forced a whopping 28 turnovers in the first eight games, and returned eight of those turnovers for touchdowns. Since then, the Bears have managed only seven takeaways in their last five games, and not coincidentally, Chicago is 1-4 in those games. While the Bears still lead the NFL in takeaways (35), it's become obvious that their defense has to take the ball away to be successful.
That's been the case in Chicago's matchups with the Packers, too. The Packers' only loss to Bears in the teams' last six meetings – in Week 3 of the 2010 season at Chicago — was when they lost the turnover battle. They were minus-1 in turnover differential in that game, then were even in the regular-season finale at Lambeau Field and plus-1 in the NFC Championship Game in Chicago. Last season, the turnovers were even in the first meeting and the Packers were plus-2 in the second. And in the Sept. 13 meeting this season, Cutler threw four interceptions and the Packers were plus-2 on the night.
Meanwhile, the Packers defense has forced 13 turnovers in the last five games between the teams (including playoffs), with nine interceptions in four games against Cutler. By comparison, Aaron Rodgers has thrown only five interceptions in those games. The Packers also have 19 takeaways this season in their nine victories but a grand total of one in their four losses.
That said, the reason the Packers offense can't afford to turn the ball over is the way it translates to points – not only for the Bears, who obviously are terrific in that department with all their touchdown returns, but the way the Green Bay defense has responded to turnovers by the offense. The Packers rank dead last in the 32- team league in points allowed off giveaways.
"You go back a couple years ago, we were in the top two or three in the league. We haven't been as good in that area this year. Hopefully, from this point on, we're good in this league," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said.
"Chicago's obviously, their defense does a great job of taking the ball away and you don't have to look at them very long to see that when they take away the ball they win games. When they haven't, then they've had a hard time winning games. That's the case with most people and that's the case with us, and that's why we place such an emphasis on it. Our offense does a great job of protecting the ball and over the years we've been a defense that's done a good job of taking the ball away."
Jay being Jay: As much time was spent this week on the war of words between the teams, it's instructive to remember where it all started: With Cutler wishing the Packers' secondary "good luck" before facing the Bears' physical receivers in the teams' first meeting. After the Packers picked him off four times in that game, Woodson had his verbal revenge.
"Heard some talk out of the Bears (about), 'Packers secondary not working coverage, bigger receivers … we heard about it," Woodson told ESPN's Rachel Nichols after the game. "We understand that Jay is excited about his new weapons, but it's the same-old Jay. We don't need luck; Jay will throw us the ball."
If that's what prompted Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshal to go on the offensive to open the week, fine. But the reality for the Bears is that Cutler simply has been bad against the Packers. His regular-season passer rating against Green Bay is a lowly 60.5, and including the 2010 NFC Championship Game, Cutler has thrown 17 interceptions against the Packers but only eight touchdown passes.
"I think they've had good schemes against us," Cutler said in a conference call this week. "I haven't played my best ball against them. It's a lot of different scenarios. A lot of different variables go into the quarterback position. At the end of the day, I've just got to play better."
Capers didn't do any crowing about having Cutler's number this week. But he knows his defense must continue its controlling of Cutler.
"We're very familiar with the schemes. They know us and we know them," Capers said. "The way we're built on defense, our defense is built to try to stop the run and be disruptive on the quarterback, if you put it in a couple terms. When we're playing efficiently, we've been able to do that. Over the years, our opponent quarterback rating has been one of the top two or three in the league. The way the game is built so much around the quarterback, and you know you have to stop the run because there are certain times in every game that if you can't stop the run, you're going to be in for a long day. We try to get the game a little more one-dimensional, and when we do that, then we'll try to do things to try to be disruptive to the quarterback."
Claymaker returns: Talk about a sight for sore eyes: While it's unclear just how much Matthews will play against the Bears, he will be back in action for the first time since hurting his hamstring Nov. 4 against Arizona. And while the Packers went 3-1 in the four games Matthews missed and had a whopping five sacks in his first game on the sideline (Nov. 18 at Detroit), the pass rush has evaporated since.
In the last three games, the Packers have only two sacks: A sack of New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning by Dezman Moses on Nov. 25 at New York, and a team sack that was credited to them when the Lions' Matthew Stafford lost the handle on what wound up being Mike Daniels' fumble return for a touchdown.
The Packers' pass rush has definitely been a reason for their recent success against the Bears as well. In their last four games against Cutler, they sacked him an astronomical 18 times, including seven when they played him on Sept. 13. And at the center of that sack attack: Matthews, who had 3.5.
"Yeah, he was a dominant player that night," Capers said. "He kind of got on a roll, got the momentum going and had a lot of fun."
The only question with Matthews at this point is how many snaps he'll play. McCarthy suggested Friday he may not go the entire game.
"We'll kind of see how it goes. Generally speaking, I think you try to ease a guy back in," Capers said. "Clay's a guy that normally doesn't come off the field. So I don't know that'll be that kind of game, but we'll see how he feels once he's out there."
Line dancing: As if the Packers' offensive line wasn't having enough issues already, Sitton had a hip injury flare up on him at the end of practice Thursday and had to be added to the injury report. While Newhouse's wrist injury hasn't been serious enough to affect his practice reps significantly, and center Jeff Saturday's appearance on the injury report last week with a foot injury was apparently just a one-week thing, the fact that starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga is on season-ending injured reserve and Lang had to dress for an emergency backup role last week when he had no business playing on his sprained ankle underscores just how perilous the situation is.
Sitton downplayed the injury in the locker room on Friday, saying, "(It's) nothing too much. Just kind of hurt it a little bit (Thursday). It shouldn't be a big deal. We'll see. I don't know (how it happened). It just kind of happened. It's one of those things."
That's how the line has looked at its issues all year. Lang, who was playing with an elbow injury before hurting his ankle, figures to be back at his customary left guard spot, meaning the Packers should line up with Newhouse, Lang, Saturday, Sitton and rookie Don Barclay from left to right. Even with Melton and McClellin unlikely to play, the unit will still be challenged by Julius Peppers, who still packs a wallop as a pass rusher (although he's not as dominant as he was), Corey Wootton, Israel Idonije and Stephen Paea.
Improved – but not by leaps and bounds: Frustrated Packers fans probably remember the statistic as vividly as Aaron Rodgers' 45 touchdowns/six interceptions: The sieve-like passing defense last season gave up a stunning 71 pass plays of 20 yards or longer, second-most in the NFL behind New England (79). The Packers also surrendered more passing yards than any team in NFL history.
This season, the Packers have given up 44 completions of 20 or more yards, ranking them 20th in the league and on pace for 54. That would be a drop of roughly 25 percent. For the season, opponents are averaging 6.7 yards per pass attempt, down from 7.8 yards per attempt a year ago.
While the Bears' 28th-ranked offense may not be the most explosive around, the Cutler-Marshall duo is certainly capable of the big play, and against an offense with limitations elsewhere, avoiding a big play defensively is vital.
What's remarkable about the improvement in this area is that it's happened with Woodson sidelined for much of the season, Shields out from Oct. 14 until last week and a rotation at both safety (McMillian and M.D. Jennings) and cornerback (Shields, House and Casey Hayward) for portions of the year.
"I think communication has been good and I think the guys are getting comfortable with one another. With that being said, the more experience guys get (and) the more comfortable they get in the system, the better you expect the communication to be," safeties coach Darren Perry said. "I think Morgan and M.D. have done a good job. (McMillian) and Wood — even though he's been out, he's there on the practice field and doing the mental reps and I think all of those thing help."
Cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt said the conversations aren't just happening on the field pre-snap but during the course of the week – and that communication might be the most valuable of all.
"They've done a very good job in the meeting rooms of discussing, 'Coach said this is how we're going to do it but let's make sure we're all on the same page.' We hear them discussing it more in the meeting rooms than ever before," Whitt said. "(It's) not just, 'Joe and D.P. said this is how we're doing it, but let's talk about it ourselves.' Most of it is pre-snap communication has really increased. If everybody's on the same page before the ball is snapped, now we can be on the same page when the play is going."
Even if the Packers don't win Sunday and clinch their second straight division title, they'll still be in good shape to win the division if they can win their last two games – against Tennessee on Dec. 23 at Lambeau Field and at Minnesota on Dec. 30. They'd rather take care of business in this game, of course, get their 10th victory and then set their sights on a first-round bye – something else that isn't out of the question. But to have a chance at that accomplishment, they'll have to take care of business with the Bears. The guess here is that Chicago's injuries, coupled with the return of Matthews, will lead to victory for the visitors, as long as they don't turn the ball over against the Bears, who lead the NFL in takeaways. Packers 28, Bears 20. (Season record: 7-6)

The island of Hong Kong is overrun with tourists. What, if anything, should a city do when it becomes too popular?
HONG KONG – It's the gift that keeps on giving. For over a decade, mainland Chinese tourists have been dropping billions of dollars a year on luxury handbags, watches, and electronics in Hong Kong, undeniably stimulating the city's economy. But they've also made the city more crowded and expensive than ever. Many Hong Kongers are starting to wish the gift wouldn't give quite so much, and some are demanding the government stem the tide.
Last year, the former British colony, which has a land area slightly smaller than New York City, received 28 million mainland visitors, nearly one-quarter more than a year earlier. Counting other countries, this city of 7 million had a whopping 42 million visitors in 2011, nearly double the population of Australia. Half of those stayed overnight, the World Tourism Organization's definition of a tourist. The growth in mainland arrivals shows no signs of slowing, jumping 23 percent to 23 million in the first eight months this year compared to the same period a year earlier.
For years, Beijing and Hong Kong have been liberalizing the regime for mainland tourists to go to the city in the early 2000s. They introduced the individual visit scheme in 2003. At the time, Hong Kong's economy was in the doldrums following the outbreak of SARS. Under the scheme, mainlanders who up until then could visit only on business visas or group tours could do so independently. Today, two-thirds of mainland travelers come on that scheme. The total number of mainland tourists has since quadrupled and their spending has ballooned from $3.6 billion in 2002 to $19 billion last year.
But has the scheme become too successful for its own good? It's a question that will resonate with other tourist-heavy metropolises like London, Paris, and Venice.
Residents, urban policy experts, activists and lawmakers in Hong Kong say the massive tourism industry is putting an unbearable strain on the city's transport system, shopping areas and sightseeing destinations, as well as driving up shop rents and prices on goods. Some want to eliminate multiple-entry visas for mainlanders and institute a daily cap on mainland tourist arrivals. Others want the government to study the city's capacity for more tourists before further relaxing the regime. The current growth rate, they say, is just not sustainable.
"Every year, there are more and more of them," says Roy Tam, president of activist group Green Sense, which has petitioned the government on the issue. "Our public transport is congested and our living space has been affected. It's not worth it for the small economic benefit they bring. The social cost is too great."
It's not just the public. Last month, following outcry over a decision by Shenzhen to let 4.1 million non-permanent residents apply for multiple-entry visas to Hong Kong, the territory's chief executive, Leung Chun-ying, said the scheme would be put on hold pending a study on the city's ability to accommodate more visitors. Earlier this year, tourism board chairman James Tien said the city's scheme for receiving mainlanders needed to be reassessed.
Residents say the city's subway, the Mass Transit Railway, and particularly a line running from the Chinese border in the northern New Territories to the city center, has been hard-hit. "The trains are packed even at non-peak hours," says Chan Yung, a north district council member and chairman of the New Territories Association of Societies. "If the tens of thousands of mainland visitors we get per day were spread evenly across the system, it might be fine, but that's not the case." MTR does not provide the number of passenger on this line specifically. From 2008 to last year, the overall daily passenger numbers on the system rose 13 percent, to 4 million.
Crowding has grown, especially in popular shopping areas like Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui, in and around MTR stations, and tourist destinations like The Peak. "Crowding is a problem," says Yip Ngai-ming, an associate professor specializing in housing and urban policy at City University of Hong Kong's department of public and social administration. "The tourists' activities tend to be highly concentrated in a few specific locations, especially the more popular tourist spots. This can frustrate local residents."
The proliferation of stores aimed at the tourists, the kinds that sell high-end watches, jewelry, bags, and clothes, has created a bidding war for the best retail spaces and forced out smaller vendors. "All we have now are foreign luxury labels, watches and jewelry, which are willing to pay higher rents," Yip says. "It's the same brands, over and over." Though the demand for luxury goods and retail space has eased over the past year, according to a July report by property consultant CBRE, the territory remained the most expensive location for shop rents.
Differences have led to clashes. Hong Kongers have lashed out at mainlanders for eating on the MTR and letting their children relieve themselves in public. "They have their own hygiene practices, and there are cultural differences between us," says accountant Carly Wong, 22.
Tourism undeniably contributes to the local economy. It contributed 4.4 percent to the territory's gross domestic product in 2010 and employs 218,000 people, or 6.2 percent of the city's working population last year.
Simon Wong, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Restaurants and Related Trades and of the Kampery food and beverage group, said mainland tourists had benefited various industries. "Some might not feel so warmly about mainland tourists due to their impact on transportation and some areas of the city," he says. "But from an economic perspective, if it's an orderly expansion [of mainland tourist numbers] and Hong Kong can cope with it, we would support that."
Beyond all this balancing of pros and cons, a larger, even more complicated issue looms in the minds of Hong Kongers: that their home is changing faster than they would like. "The historical places are gone," says Carly Wong. "It feels like we've made a sacrifice."

New Pittsburgh Parking Authority rates take effect
Price increases will generate millions of dollars for city
New increased rates at the Pittsburgh Parking Authority that will generate millions of dollars for the city started Friday.
In an eight-hour work day, parkers can expect a rate increase ranging from 23 to 33 percent, with the largest hikes at Oliver, Second Avenue, Mellon Square and Smithfield Liberty garages.
The price parkers pay will depend on the garage or lot and the length of stay.
VIDEO: Watch Bofta Yimam's report
"I'm very disgusted because I'm living paycheck to paycheck as it is," said Charles J. Horsth.
When Horsth learned of the increase, he took the signal to change routes.
"I've got to cross the 10th Street Bridge, park down there on the side street and the lady that lives at the house there is letting me park there and I'm paying her $30 a month for letting me park in front of her house," said Horsth.
Others have skipped driving altogether.
"I really don't come down here because it costs too much," said Hill District resident Mike Crowley.
Now, Crowley walks to work.
Some anticipate the cost and stay away from downtown altogether.
"I'm only dropping something off -- $5 for 2 minutes, so it's irritating," said Paige Lyons, of North Huntingdon.
The reason behind the spike? The city needs the money. Since it can't legally increase the parking tax, officials figured out a way to increase the parking rate.
"They went to the Parking Authority and said, 'Would you consider increasing your rates?" said Eric Montarti, senior Allegheny Institute policy analyst.
The Allegheny Institute analyzes city finances and says the higher rates will boost the city's parking tax revenue by about $2 million each year.
"They're relying very heavily on their parking tax in the next three decades to fund the pensions," said Montarti.
Friday is just the start. There's a series of increases over the next four years. But with parking in high demand, Montarti doesn't expect it to steer drivers away.
As for private parking garages, they can set their own rates. But beware, they may follow suit and increase their prices, too.

The W3C is the global body setting standards for the web. In the past its helped to codify vital online standards such as HTML and CSS but its yet to tackle the issue of the many different types of marketing data that websites now produce and manage.
This is now set to change with the introduction later this year of a new digital data standard that has the potential to revolutionise the way that every website handles marketing data.
It promises to massively simplify the process of rolling out new marketing, analytics and personalisation technologies, but what do site owners need to do to be ready for this revolution?
The 'Customer Experience Digital Data Acquisition' standard aims to create a standardised data model for behavioural information about website visitors.
At the moment, every technology ingests and outputs this information in a dizzying array for different formats. This means that every time a site owner wants to deploy a new technology on their site, they have to build a bespoke set of data interfaces to make it work.
The new standard will remove this unnecessary complexity. By unifying the language that marketing, analytics and personalisation tools all use, the deployment of new technologies should become a plug and play affair.
However, to take advantage of this new simplicity, site owners need to take a few basic steps to get prepared:
Audit your technologies
The first step is to look at your existing technologies and see what your data requirements are, in this way you can easily see where a standardised data model will help you increase site efficiency.
Implement when you re-platform or add a data rich technology such as web analytics to your website
A major shift in data handling like this is best managed as part of a broader project, ideally when you're in the process of re-platforming or migrating to a new web analytics provider.
If you can get the new standard into the spec for the new platform or a new analytics implementation then you can ensure that its going to be integrated from the ground up.
Make it part of your procurement process
When you're procuring any new technologies, whether it's remarketing or web apps, ask the vendor to conform to the standard before implementation, ensuring that you don't have to re-do the work over again.
Implement in full
You should look to implement the full standard from day one, even if you don't need it all. This will future proof your site as new technologies will inevitably require more data to help optimise your website.
Use a tag management system
By implementing a TMS on top of the digital data standard you can make it quick and easy to deploy new third party tags, reducing technology implementation times from days down to minutes.
Of course, your TMS vendor must also be W3C Digital Data compliant.
With backing from the W3C, as well as technology and retail giants such as Google, Adobe, Accenture and Best Buy (not forgetting Qubit!), the digital data standard will, hopefully, become ubiquitous over time.
However, its advantages are undeniable so the quicker you can get on board, the faster you'll be reaping the benefits.

Post subject: Off Topic: Thermoworks Thermapen 2013 Giveaway!
Last year, I had the opportunity to give away a
and a
Oven Alarm/Timer provided by Thermoworks
. This year, they've offered to give away another Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen! Read on to see how to enter the drawing which will take place on December 11, 2013.
I've written about the Thermapen before during
last year's giveaway
and when I
tested a variety of thermometers
back in 2005, and I still believe it is the best thermometer I've ever used. I sheepishly admitted during last year's giveaway that over the years I've collected several Thermapens which I use in various places in the house.
For cooking, I reach for my Thermapen whenever I need to a temperature check, and that's not limited to cooking meats. I use it when I make candy (like my
English Toffee
which I make several pounds of each Halloween to give away), baking bread, checking the temperature of simmering stocks, or whether or not a stew has chilled enough to go into the refrigerator. The less than 4-second readings is really what makes it so convenient - with typical "instant read" thermometers that take about 10 seconds to stabilize, the extra time (which doesn't seem so long) really does prevent me from using them more often. With a fast and accurate probe, the Thermapen is quick enough that I don't feel held up by my tools.
My newest use of a Thermapen is to get Emma's bathwater to the right temperature. Touching the water sometimes works too, but when my skin temperature is cool, the water can feel hot when it isn't and when my skin warms up from the water, it feels lukewarm to me and super hot to Tina. Using a thermometer is just as fast and is actually accurate. The Thermapen makes it really fast, is easy to read, and I don't worry about it getting splashed with water. I wouldn't but a Thermapen for this purpose, but since I've got them already, it's a great use. (Since the probe is sharp, I don't use it to test the water before putting the baby in!)
Thermapens come in a variety of colors. If you win, you can pick a red one like the Emma is holding in this picture or any of the other standard colors listed on
Thermowork's website
. (I am apparently not above using my daughter as a model.)
I thought I'd take a moment to mention a couple of other Thermowork devices that I've been using on a regular basis. To take surface temperature readings instantly (less than a second), I reach for an infrared thermometer. Measuring temperature with an IR thermometer isn't as simple as pointing and shooting (although, usually that's all you have to do) because the emissivity of the material you are aiming at changes the coefficient used by the device to calculate the temperature based on the infrared measurement. So, taking a reading on a shiny stainless steel surface is quite different than reading the surface temperature of a pot of water. Most IR thermometers have a fixed emissivity coefficient of 0.95 which works well for water and organic materials, but the IR thermometers I've tried from Thermoworks have adjustable emissitivy values in case you need to measure the surface temperatures of other materials accurately. I use this
IR Thermometer
I bought a few years ago, but this
IR thermometer
is on sale for $45 as of the time of this posting.
Other tool I've been playing with regularly is their new
which has a super fast probe (5 seconds vs 12 seconds for most probe alarm thermometers) and an option for a super thin probe that is suitable for use in sous vide applications.
Lastly, I've found the their splash-proof
to be handy when I've got something in the oven or is time sensitive. I used to set an alarm in the kitchen (and still do), but when I know I'm stepping away (which is fairly often with work and baby care fighting for my attention), this lightweight but rugged timer has come in handy on more than a few ocassions. I know I can just set a timer on my phone, but somehow it's not as handy to do that while I'm at home. The TimeStick slips into my pocket conveniently (also comes with a lanyard and a magnet on the back) and is easy to set with one hand.
Anyway, hopefully, I've given you some holiday gift ideas so onto the giveaway instructions:
You need to be in North America to qualify for this giveaway.
Join Cooking For Engineers
(through the forums) and
post a comment
to this article with whether or not you'd buy a Thermapen as a gift and who that gift would be for (you can admit that you would buy one for yourself). I need you to join so, if you win, I'll have an email address to contact you with to get your mailing info so Thermoworks can send you the thermometers. I won't have contact information for guest/anonymous posts so I can't include your entry unless you are logged in. (If you are an existing member, be sure to
double check your email address on file
to make sure it's accurate.)
On December 11, 2013, I'll post a comment signifying the end of the contest. All entries (where I have contact info) above my comment will be eligible to win. (I don't know what time I'll be making the post, so it's best just to enter early.)
I'll number the participants and generate a random number which will determine the winner and post the winner as well as contact them via email. If there is no response within 48 hours of my email, then I'll probably pick another number and winner (and so on).
I'm running the giveaway until December 11, 2013, so the new thermometers should arrive in time for Christmas (for your perfect holiday
prime rib
). Good luck everyone!}?>

If I bought one for a gift, it would be for a buddy who taught me how to homebrew; if I bought one for myself it would be for the same reason.
I've read countless reviews about how great the thermopen is at quickly and accurately measuring mash temps and providing just a little bit of a boost to the brew day.

I have a ThermaPen that sees heavy use in the kitchen - I would love to have another that I could use elsewhere in the house.
Also, I must have been living under a rock, because I missed any baby announcement. Congratulations! (I assume that you meant to say that you
use it to test the water before putting the baby in, not that you wait for the opportunity to stick her with sharp objects.)

I think I've been too busy with the newborn and then the server crashes / stability (and full-time work) and forgot to announce that I am a first time father now. Emma Rae Chu was born on July 4, 2013.
And thanks for catching that typo. I think it was one of those sentences that started off one way and then I changed it but forgot to remove a keyword.
Article fixed.

An RNZAF P3 Orion is returning to New Zealand after finding no sign of three fishermen missing for four days south of the island of Tarawa, Kiribati.
The Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) directed the Orion to the area yesterday, after a request from Kiribati search and rescue authorities.
A search area of 21,000 square kilometres, based on modelling of currents and weather conditions, was covered yesterday. The aircraft stayed on Tarawa overnight and an extended search area, totalling around 42,000 square kilometres, was covered today.
RCCNZ Search and Rescue Coordinator Dave Wilson said the Orion had thoroughly investigated the search area.
"Search conditions on Sunday were described as ideal, and while rain showers today reduced visibility the Orion crew are confident that if the men were in the search area they would have been found," he said.
The men, aged 33, 41, and 30, did not return from a day's fishing last Wednesday (21 November).
A decision on the next stage of the search will be made by search and rescue authorities in Kiribati and the rescue coordination centre in Fiji.

Colorado craft beer garden opens at Denver airport
A mini-Colorado beer festival started Friday in an unusual location: a terminal of the Denver International Airport.
The "Beer Flights" — get it? — beer garden is offering tastings from 11 Colorado breweries at the Jeppesen Terminal on level five near the arrivals and baggage claim. A $10 ticket gets you 10 two-ounce samples.
It's primarily aimed at travelers and people meeting arriving passengers, but airport spokesman Heath Montgomery said he also expects some dedicated craft beer drinkers will drive out to DIA for the event. He said it drew a crowd on its first day but no traffic numbers were available.
Open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Oct. 4, the beer garden coincides with Denver Beer Fest and the Great American Beer Festival. The breweries participating are Avery Brewing, Breckenridge Brewery, Bristol Brewing, Dry Dock Brewing, Great Divide Brewing, Left Hand Brewing, New Belgium Brewing, Odell Brewing, Ska Brewing, Pug Ryan's and Telluride Brewing.

launchbrand necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 22 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
embode design (pronounced m-body)
established jewelry designer poised on edge of breakthrough needs logo update to incorporate existing and new elements to represent her brand. embode design (pronounced "m-body") is a line of ethnic jewelry created using unique components, traditional pieces and a keen eye for detail. the collection is comprised of one-of-a-kind pieces and custom orders. eventually embode design will encompass more than just jewelry: homewares, apparel, essential oils for aromatherapy, philanthropic endeavors. embode design, as it exists now and as it will evolve and flourish, is when the spirit of beauty takes physical form.
this logo will be used on packaging, and may be simplified to be used as a signature element within the jewelry that is created. it needs to incorporate the existing text logo (see attached) with an image based on a multi-armed hindu goddess within a circle, with each arm representing one of the designer's passions: jewelry, textiles, aromatherapy, philanthropy, spirituality. the graphic image should be able to stand alone, as should the "embode design" portion, in addition to the elements being able to work together.
target audience
women 25-45, with disposable income, with a sense of spirituality, who gravitate towards intellectual, visceral, non-traditional whole living. the jewelry uses ethnic (often african/egyptian) design elements and semi-precious stones, hand-beaten silver/copper/gold, and wooden/glass beads.
- black and white line art
- goddess symbol must be prepared in full version in conjunction with text logo (embode design) as well as a simplified version of the goddess symbol only which could be used as a signature element on the jewelry.
- earthy, timeless, immediate.
- will be used in print and online media as well as on textiles
- the text portion of the logo artwork (see attached) needs to be recreated, and the word "design" added to it, please, to provide the foundation for the complete logo design. (the original file was destroyed in a computer meltdown!)

About the Department
The BBA with a Management Concentration prepares students to become organizational leaders, in the sense that today's organizations need leaders at all levels, not just at the top.
Our philosophy is based on the premise that organizational leaders do more than just manage;
- They understand that success for individuals, as well as organizations, is largely based on how effective they are in developing people;
- They know that organizational success requires leaders who know how to coach, mentor, and facilitate, rather than simply how to monitor and control.
We know that leaders in business, not-for-profit, and governmental organizations face similar problems and challenges and thus need the same core of leadership knowledge and skills to be effective. Therefore, this curriculum is designed to develop critical conceptual and interpersonal skills for successful performance in all types of organizations.
In addition to requiring a theoretical foundation, the curriculum provides students with numerous opportunities to integrate and apply these concepts in a variety of situations.

In my opinion fd-arm is considerably inferior to QX814. Credit to Don570 for doing a good job on packaging it and making it easy to install.
Having a save file is a pain. Installing to a partition is much better.
fd-arm was designed for a specific purpose - to run on hand-held devices. I trust it does that job well. But the original purpose of fd-arm and RPi are not a good match. If I remember rightly you can't swap the mouse buttons over on fd-arm. For a hand-held device that's irrelevant functionality. It was designed to be a largely closed system and it's not compatable with any major repository.

Tested and it works fine.
Some notes:
There is a good assortment of wifi drivers preinstalled.
Samba is preinstalled so a connection to a windows server can be created quickly.
DropBear isn't installed by default. But it is easy to install.
Here are instructions
If you are installing from a Thumb drive...
You must decompress the .tar.gz file first to create the img file.
To add the operating system to your card, you must hold down the icon
labelled 'Add OS' and then you select your img file located on the thumb drive.
config.txt is automatically created from the berryboot config.txt file.
It is easy to modify if you wish.

Dang Don can I best you at anything. Found out about this a few days ago and testing its limits. Very solid and fast ( as fast as full install)
Its like old school Puppylinux sfs main file < as Alex states recompressed SFS for speed of decode then xz compresses that image > with new save folder idea in a EXT4 full sized single partition not the horrible divide into many like before.
After xz decompression the QX814 image is right at 500M
BerryBoot has its own lookup timer function so best to leave the QX set time function unchecked at QX main firstrun setup.
The BBoot Kernel works great so far no issues, also holds promise that CEC, BlueTooth keyboards, and a few other not fully finished in QX814 could be made functional
I am running on a USB hardrive and BerryBoot it did reformat it completely, but I copied files to a different USB harddrive and changed the config.txt file to point to the correct EXT4 and all did fine ( no forced reformat ), so if you want to run QX814 and the many dozen more images offered with an existing USB harddrive, format a spare- usbflash first and copy install.
Good or bad BBoot doesnot hide or lock the layered drives data so becarefull snooping about.
also pro-tip the .img files are same as our .sfs renaming image files to .sfs allows QX814 to snoop into other 'donor' OSs

new added stuff with berryboots kernel ( added temp and lightingbolt )
did not know what device was placing a yellow bolt of lighting in upper right part of screen. was using new BBoot and media OS with that projector that has caused issues before. Turns out the newer kernels have updated firmware to change the confusing square power/temp onscreen with real useful icons. Also found out that there is a feedback on HDMI for its 5v level. The Projector and a long power line to RPi2B+ was causing low power conditions.
Also learned that you can control HDMI power feeds and sdcard speeds,
looks like fun ahead.
Downloading PixelOS image to test next. Should be able to test my Pi3 tomorrow left it, expecting to return, a week of rains kept me from getting back to it.
There is a version for PCs as well, may try that.

Not impressed with Jessie-PIXEL. Does look nice IF your system doesn't have overscan. My first test HDMI TV (first gen, actual CRT tube type) has extreme overscan due to age/technology use.
Could not see menubar at all and the menu with mouse click did not offer a path for a fix. Background graphic I could change, why a lonely blacktop road with a thunderstorm on the horizon was its default I never can tell, but the 'guy' who made the choice needs some serious counseling. The Symbology alone is unsettling but also foretelling, First Blush it looks nice 'clean new road' nice hills, but also that distant storm already over the road. Pixel looks nice, but offers less useful GUI, no default icon 'run' programs for the stuff I had on the test disk, no root,sudo or method that sticks to change permissions.
Horrible video playback, alpha blend methods removed (acts more like this QX814, then past versions without Pixel ) did not even have ffmpeg or the forked renamed version.
QX814 has multiple options for video, that only jittery webbrowser <its suppost to be the best > and omxplayer and it still preformed worse same everything else, verses the version on QX814.
I am going to snag some nice desktop backgrounds from PIXEL and call the review over.
SHORT VERSON: stick with QX its still better then the others newest 'best'

Right now I am compiling SeaMonkey 2.46 on the Pi3, running Quirky Xerus 8.1.4.
It has been chugging along for about 20 minutes, but many hours to go...
Just a little note, I plan to get Easy Linux running on the Pi2 and Pi3.
Same Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus 64-bit DEBs as in Quirky 8.1.4, but Easy uses the layered filesystem, and has "q.sfs" with all of the filesystem in it -- like in Puppy.
However, there is no "save file", which I consider to be too much of a hassle. You can read how Easy works here:
Finally got there:

1. Using
for guidance...
a. I did all of the necessary to extract the berryboot files to my 32GB mmc, 1 partition formatted as FAT32.
b. Put it correctly into my RPi2 mobo [I put it in squint once], [it's connected to my newly swapped-in Virgin Hub 3.0 using 2 "Devolo Powerline Adapters"].
c. Powered it on, and did all the necessary.
d. Chose to install both Raspbian and OpenELEC, with OpenELEC as default.
The necessary files were auto-downloaded from the internet, and the OS's installed [NICE
e. Eventually managed to get Kody to work [NICE
, stuff is BIG in Kody
, so it can be read on my 32-inch Sony Bravia smart TV from 12-feet away].
2. What should I do to additionally install the "special version of Quirky Xerus 8.1.4".
I don't see it offered on the berryboot "Add OS" window.
Perhaps I need to look at that again.

Then decompress to get the img file.

The Pressing on 'Add OS ' icon should show img file if you wait for 10-15 seconds. (It's slow to show thumb drive contents

don570's way of doing it is how you "side load" an image downloaded from here: (The Latest Quirky Xerus 8.1.4 is in the list.)

When I do this, to install the Puppy OS, will it copy the contents of the image [held in the .img file] to the mmc [micro memory card?]
And can I then dispense with the use of the USB Flash Drive?
I may find time to try it before you reply.
So far I've extracted the img to a single partition formatted FAT32, on a spare Flash Drive.
Tried booting the RPi2 with the Flash Drive and mmc both in place, and they work as they aught.
Quirky Xerus 8.1.4 installed, rebooted and the newly installed Puppy booted OK. rebooted again without the Flash Drive and the Puppy still booted OK.
All good.

Yes! The purpose of berryboot is to install several OS's on one card.
After you install there will be a list of OS's when you boot up
and you choose the OS you want.
There is a modification that allows part of the OS to installed on a thumb drive but that isn't too useful.

Insufficient power? Incorrect USB connection/hub design? SD card not pushed home? Incompatible HDMI arrangement? - are just a few of the issues I've encountered!
Try powering it from pins 4 & 6 on the GPIO with an independent old AT or ATX PSU - you can use the small Molex(for FDD) directly if you unhook the 12V (yellow) and adjacent 0V (black) leads. [let me know if you need a dozen or so, but it may be easier & quicker to lift one from your roadside skip.]
Disconnect your USB hub - only USB2/3 ones work and if you try to power them (not necessary with RPi2) you can get conflicts. When/if reconnecting later after fault discovered be sure to connect board microUSB via the USB-B on hub and not one of the USB-A slots.
Use an HDMI - VGA adapter in the first instance as not all nativeHDMI s on TVs and monitors are compatible - or their leads. There may be nothing you can do about that.
There are plenty more possible issues including you've blown it, blown a fuse, bad cable, you-name-it.
Either way, please be sure to report back when you sort it so that it will help legions of others struggling ...

Traction and Progress in HaloLight TM at Conexpo
Winner of the inaugural Seattle Angel Conference, ILLUMAGEAR continues to show great traction and progress. The company launched it's first product, The Halo Light™, only a couple of months ago, but in that time, interest and feedback has been very positive and demand has been high. Product has already been shipped to customers around the world. The company attended CONEXPO in Las Vegas in March, the construction industry's equivalent to CES, and generated over 1600 leads, more than 3x their stretch goal. The company has now generated over 3000 leads and is rapidly building a sales force (they're hiring!) and locking up distributors in order to drive those leads through the sales funnel.
Series A Round Nearing Completion
The Halo Light is a patented 360º light system worn on any hard hat that produces a halo of light around the wearer, enabling him or her to see and be seen in all directions at all times, especially in low light conditions. ILLUMAGEAR is already working on new products. Longer-term it imagines combining hardware and software to redefine personal active safety on job sites around the world.
ILLUMAGEAR is nearly closed on its Series A round of financing.
