Ok, many of us around the country are now becoming aware that winter may come a tad earlier than expected … For example, parts of southern New England (that's not the mountains of Vermont or New Hampshire), not to mention the Mid-Atlantic states, just received an early Christmas gift of anywhere from 6" to 24" of snow – yikes, I haven't even turned off my outdoor faucets.
So, it is clearly time to get off our couches and get prepared for the cold weather – hey, it even gets cold in Las Vegas and Florida. So, here are some ideas from www.cdc.gov/disasters/winter/ to guide you in this preparation:
If you're like me, I can write a great "To do" list, yet I am pretty poor at following through with getting it in place. Make a concerted effort to get as many items checked off your list as possible – it could save your life or someone else's life!

Falkenberg: Mother of 3 pressured into changing story, but jailed anyway
For 120 days, Ericka Dockery sat in a Harris County jail cell on Baker Street, a place she would later describe as hellish, "nasty," full of fights, "unclean women," and a world away from the most important part of her life - her three children.
Dockery had a choice: Stay locked up, or tell authorities the story they wanted to hear so they could prosecute her boyfriend for capital murder.
Nearly seven weeks in, Dockery chose the latter.
On Oct. 9, 2003, she dictated a jailhouse letter, a desperate plea to state district Judge Mark Kent Ellis, asking him to consider her children, then ages 11, 8 and 6, and vowing to be "a productive mother and citizen if allowed to go home."
"The time here without them is almost unbearable," she wrote in the letter, obtained from Alfred Dewayne Brown's court file.
As I recounted in Thursday's column, Dockery was a home health aide who had worked nights making Subway sandwiches when she found herself charged with three counts of felony aggravated perjury - allegedly for lying to grand jurors after they pressured her to change her story in a 2003 cop-killing case.
Read more award-winning work from Lisa Falkenberg.
Dockery had testified to the grand jury that her then-boyfriend, Brown, was at her apartment when prosecutors believed he was with guys he knew from the neighborhood, scouting venues for a burglary that would lead to the murder of Houston police officer Charles R. Clark.
Dockery also testified that Brown made a landline call to her workplace around the time of the crime, a contention that would have supported his alibi but was never supported with evidence at trial. It wasn't until more than seven years after Brown's 2005 conviction and death sentence that a phone record documenting the landline call turned up in a detective's garage. Last year, the judge agreed to a new trial, but the state's highest criminal court has been dallying for over a year on whether to allow it.
Back in 2003, the lead Harris County prosecutor, Dan Rizzo, believed early on that Brown was the murderer, and the grand jury apparently agreed. A transcript of the secret proceedings details how the group intimidated Dockery into changing her story by threatening to take away her children and send her to prison.
She did change her story, but Rizzo saw to it that she was charged with perjury anyway - perhaps to compel her cooperation, perhaps to help discredit her with the jury if she ever tried to defend Brown again.
Guilty of 'loving my children'
Another grand jury indicted her, in part for testifying that the last time she saw Brown on the morning of the murder was 8:30 a.m., when she later said it was 6:50 a.m. And in part for denying she had made a phone call to another of the murder suspects when phone records showed that she had.
Why Dockery would deny making the phone call to an acquaintance of her boyfriend's, if in fact she did, is still a mystery to me. She may have lied out of fear, or perhaps she forgot the call or didn't realize she had miss-dialed. Whatever the reason, it gave Rizzo rope to bind her.
Bail was set at $5,000 for each count and wasn't lowered, even though Dockery wasn't much of a flight risk - she had local ties, a steady job, and no criminal record beyond traffic tickets and children.
Dockery couldn't pay it. So, she appealed to Judge Ellis, and confessed her guilt of aggravated perjury.
"At the time I appeared in front of the grand jury I answered their questions to the best of my belief and knowledge," Dockery wrote, adding that she didn't know at the time that Brown was not at her apartment. "He (Brown) asked me to lie and tell anyone who asked that he was in fact at my home when in fact he was not."
She claimed that Brown's brother had threatened to kill her and her children if she gave any statement conflicting with Brown's.
"Out of fear for the safety of my children, I remained silent," she wrote the judge.
She gave details about the crime that she said she had gleaned from others, and reiterated her plea for leniency.
"Again your honor, I just want to say that I am guilty of aggravated perjury and of loving my children more than anything else in the world and would do whatever necessary to protective (sic) them and keep them safe from harm," she wrote.
Under prosecution's thumb
"Whatever necessary" apparently meant cooperating with the prosecutors and becoming their key witness.
Among conditions of Dockery's release from jail, she agreed to a 10 p.m. curfew, drug testing twice a month and to wear an ankle monitor. The last one made sure she stuck around. But it wasn't enough.
To make sure she stuck to her story, Dockery was required to call a homicide detective once a week.
Two criminal defense attorneys told me they'd never heard of such a thing. Rizzo, the prosecutor, defended the requirement for a witness who was expected to give important testimony at trial.
"That's fairly typical for someone we're not sure is going to be there, to just keep in contact so you don't have to go looking for them again," he said, adding that he believed the calls to the homicide detective came only after Dockery gave a sworn statement on her version of events.
Randall Ayers, who was Dockery's court-appointed defense attorney at the time, said the intent of the provision was clear, but it was one to which his client readily agreed.
"Obviously, I think their goal was to keep her under their thumb," Ayers said. "Of course I was concerned but there's nothing I could really do. The judge required it. It was just how it was."
Dockery held up her end of the bargain.
She testified at Brown's capital murder trial in October 2005 that, once, when she asked if he had done it, he told her "I was there. I was there."
It was the first time Dockery had ever mentioned that statement, according to Brown's appeal.
A persuasive visitor
After Brown's conviction and death sentence, Dockery tried to get on with her life. In November 2005, she was granted two years community supervision. And in 2007, Judge Ellis ended her supervision early and she avoided a conviction through deferred adjudication.
Years later, when an investigator for Brown's appellate attorneys came knocking on her door, hoping she would help lead them to the truth, Dockery turned the woman away and ordered her off the lawn.
Then one day they sent someone else, a capital murder exoneree who had survived his own tortured journey through the criminal justice system.
"Look, sister," Anthony Graves told her before she could close the door. "I just want to tell you what happened to me."
And she let him in.

This coconut mango smoothie will make you feel like you're on a tropical island! It's sweet, fruity, and it'll keep you energized all morning!
It seems like coconut is one of those things that people either love or hate. I personally love it. I love the flavor, I love the texture, and I love the healthy fats and fiber it contains!
I love using frozen mango chunks in smoothies because it makes the texture so thick and creamy. For this recipe, I used coconut protein powder from Tone It Up and Vega sells a coconut almond flavor! But if you can't get your hands on coconut protein powder, feel free to swap it out for vanilla!
If you hate coconut, you might want to try a different recipe. Maybe this peach cobbler smoothie? Don't worry, we can still be friends. But if you do love coconut, give this recipe a try! I think you'll love it.Print
Coconut Mango Smoothie
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Total Time: 5 mins
- Yield: 1 1x
- Category: Breakfast
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup frozen mango
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 scoop coconut protein powder (or sub for vanilla)
- 1/2 cup coconut water (or sub for almond milk)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- Add the ice, mango, pineapple, protein powder, and coconut water to a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour into a bowl or glass and top with shredded coconut.
- You can also add additional toppings if you like. I love adding strawberries and chia seeds on top!
Using frozen fruit will help your smoothie to have more of an ice cream like consistency. But if you don't have a high powered blender, you may need to add a bit more liquid to get it to blend.
Once it's blended up, add a sprinkle of coconut flakes on top!

Mike Lofstrom's 1970 Ford Mustang has been in his family since it was purchased new from Underwood Ford in Ukiah. He and this car have been through it all together, he even took his drivers test in this car in 1972. The car was driven by family for many years, and was eventually put into storage in 2000. After his mom passed, I moved it to my house, and it went through a complete restoration in 2011. Being the car guy that Mike is, he can never leave anything alone, so the restoration has been through about 4 iterations in the last 6 years.
So when Mike came to us to help get it to the next level in the handling department we were proud to be part of such a special project. Mike was thinking of getting more involved with local autocrosses and potentially some track days when he had some free time. As like other customers we have had when he came to us we discussed his goals and started off one step at a time. Over the years he has purchased most of our MOD 1 product line and as the updates came out he has always been one of the first in line for the new goodies.

CALGARY — The relationship between Amy Gough and Michelle Kelly — two of Canada's top skeleton sliders — can only be described as frosty, with little chance of sunshine in the forecast.
"We pretty much keep to ourselves," Gough said. "There's not much to say."
Regardless of the silence, Gough, 32, and Kelly, 35, know what's on the line over the next 24 hours in Calgary.
Despite wounded feelings and smouldering resentments, Gough needs Kelly to come through for her in a pair of Intercontinental Cup races at Canada Olympic Park.
"It's actually all up to Michelle," Gough said. "And I think it's fair to say when your fate rests in anybody else's hands, it's difficult."
For Canada to qualify three women's sleds at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Kelly needs to stay ahead of Anja Huber of Germany and Donna Creighton of Britain in the overall FIBT rankings.
It all comes down to the races Thursday and Friday night.
"It just happens to fall on her shoulders," Gough said. "I have full confidence in Michelle that she'll be able to get enough points to secure that third sled for Canada. She's a talented slider, and she's really good here in Calgary.
"She knows this track inside and out. So I'm confident."
By competing in Calgary this weekend, Kelly, of Fort St. John, B.C., will miss out on Friday's World Cup race in Switzerland — a move that could damage her positioning in the start order at the Olympics.
But Kelly agreed to return home to help her teammate, even if the two aren't exactly on the most congenial of terms.
"We're here to do a job," said Gough, an Abbotsford, B.C., native. "We just get the job done. I'm sure Michelle knows that she's responsible for Canada's third spot.
"We've all gone through a lot this year."
The drama erupted in October during the Canadian selection trials on the Olympic track in Whistler, B.C. A post-race inspection showed the laser-etched stamps on Kelly's sled runners — which indicate the equipment is approved by the FIBT — were faded.
The race inspector disqualified Kelly — a decision that dropped her off the World Cup team and all but ended her hopes of representing Canada at the Winter Games.
An appeals panel overturned the disqualification after learning Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton only had one inspector on site at the end of the race. The two others assigned to the event had left for the day.
Kelly's eventual reinstatement came at a price for teammate Sarah Reid of Calgary, who was demoted to the Intercontinental Cup circuit and lost out on her chance to qualify for the Olympics.
No wonder there were hard feelings.
Then came another instalment of the skeleton saga December, when Kelly's runners once again failed a pre-race inspection in Italy.
Don Wilson, CEO of Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton, pulled Kelly from the race. But he failed to realize only the top two countries overall qualify three sleds for the Olympics. That means Kelly's loss of potential points from the Italian race could damage Canada's chances of sending three skeleton racers to Whistler.
So Kelly is fighting to get those points back — and there are points up for grabs through two races in Calgary than one in St. Moritz.
"You always have the Olympics in the back of your mind," Gough said. "But it doesn't become a reality until that date actually arrives."
Gough is no stranger to pressure. Thanks to a case of the stomach flu in December, she dropped down to No. 3 on the Canadian depth chart and had to race off against Carla Pavan of Lethbridge, Alta.
The winner of the two-day race-off at the Whistler Sliding Centre earned a ticket to the Olympics — provided Canada actually sends qualified three sleds.
"It was a tough race," Gough said. "You can't really celebrate it, because you're taking away someone else's dream."

AT&T Will Become the First Carrier to Roll Out Mobile 5G
Company is activating networks in 12 U.S. cities
AT&T is firing up its mobile 5G network in parts of a dozen U.S. cities this week, making it the first carrier to do so. But as with many firsts in the early stages of the 5G arms race, the announcement comes with some caveats.
The company said today that its 5G service would be available starting later this week. That's technically in keeping with its promise to go live by the end of this year, but because 5G-compatible phones won't hit the market until early 2019, the network will only be accessible with a hot-spot device AT&T is initially only offering in select "early adopter" businesses in the 12 markets.
Despite the technical limitations and small pool of inaugural customers, the move represents another milestone in the march toward the next generation of wireless service, which is expected to eventually reach speeds of 10 to 100 times those of current networks with load times of less than a millisecond. Each of the other three major carriers plans to roll out some version of their own 5G network in the next year, and Verizon already went live with a residential form in four cities in October.
"Today's news is a seminal moment in the advancement of mobile 5G technology," said David Christopher, president of AT&T mobility and entertainment, in a statement. "This proves we are well on our way to the promise of mobile 5G for consumers."
AT&T said its hot spot and the data it uses will be free for subscribers in the first 90 days of the rollout. After that period, the device will sell for $499 with a 15-gigabyte data plan priced at $70 per month—a rate slightly cheaper per-datum than the 10-GB for $50 it offers with 4G hotspots.
An AT&T spokesperson said businesses and customers in the initial rollout areas can express interest in joining the early phase of the network on the company's website. The spokesperson also said the network should eventually reach theoretical peak speeds of 979 megabits per second, but actual average rates will be lower.
The 12 cities initially included in the deployment are Atlanta; Charlotte, N.C.; Dallas; Houston; Indianapolis; Jacksonville, Fla.; Louisville, Ky.; Oklahoma City; New Orleans; Raleigh, N.C.; San Antonio and Waco, Texas. Starting at some point in the first half of 2019, coverage will be expanded to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose, Calif., as well.

Maribel and Erick's Ohme Garden's Wedding photos was yet another wedding in 2016 that I had been looking forward to shooting since I booked it. Erick had been my Resident Advisor, RA, when I lived in the dorms at Washington State University. Erick and I were also roommates during my junior year of college when our WSU programs took us to Spokane for a semester of school. Having moved away from WSU's main campus we had a lot of free time and would spend it out taking photos, usually of Erick with his car or bike. I had not seen him since school and was looking forward to shooting his wedding.
Maribel & Erick's wedding was at one of the most beautiful and unexpected places to find in Wenatchee. The Ohme Gardens which sit at the top of a hill overlooking Wenatchee. The views from the top were gorgeous, and the endless trails remind me of something from Lord of the Rings. The hardest part was deciding where not to take pictures. Ohme gardens provided a picturesque location for their wedding and all the moments that unfolded. Please enjoy a few of my favorite moments from Maribel & Erick's wedding.

What causes cancer to the hospital workers?
By Ela Harnoi and Hila Alroi
Haifa's Carmel hospital workers are scared: lately there has been found a large
number of cancer cases, especially on one of the top floors of the main building.
Part of the workers are afraid that the cause
is the cellular antenna which is erected near
this floor.
The hospital opened an investigation.
Among the patients: the department
manager, a unit manager, nurses and official
physicians. In one of the cases, the
department manager left the hospital after
he got sick and the person who came
instead of him got sick too.
At least 5 team members of the same floor got cancer, and additional number of doctors and nurses
of other floors. Among the diseases: pancreas cancer, liver, lymphoma, breast cancer, multiple
myloma and brain tumors.
The team was worried for some time about the cancer morbidity that seems to be abnormal, and
during the last two weeks
another case was discovered in a nurse who works at the same floor where other team members
got sick.
The hospital manager, Dr. Hen Shapira, asked prof Gadi Renart, manager of the cancer control
center at the General Health
Services and manager of department of community and epidemiology in the Carmel medical center,
to start investigating the cases. "During these days accurate data is collected in order to check
whether there is excess of morbidity than expected"
explained prof Renart yesterday.
Part of the workers blame the cellular antenna which is located near one of the floors where large
number of cancer cases
was discovered. But prof Renart says, "the thought that the cause is an antenna is probably not
realistic, because according to the scientific knowledge that was gathered until today, there is no
proof that antennas cause cancer.
In the health professions there is an exposure to many substances that can cause cancer, in
addition they
are exposed to diseases which can weaken the immune system".
According to Dr. Avi Rotshild, a department manager, who got cancer, it is a coincidence:"I would
never come back to work
in a floor that will endanger my health, and I gladly returned to work at the department after my
I served in the Kishon [1] and it is impossible to know
where the cancer came from"
Dr. Rotschild told that nurses and doctors who worked at his depatrment came to him: "I have total
belief that it is a very weird
coincidence and each member of the team who came to me received all possible information"
Within 3 weeks the hospital workers will gather for a team meeting.
The workers are very afraid but according to Renart, "even if there will be found an excess of
morbidity, relatively than the expected in the population, it is possible that the investigation will end
in with dead end, as happens many times".
From the hospital it was said that "the management is committed and acts to insure the safety of the
hospital environment according to the law guidlines, and even beyond it.
Radiation measurements are done once a year. The latest ionizing radiation check was done in
( Note drafting, to read well : ionizing radiation !.)
More it was said that the cancers which were found are of many types, which reduces the chance
that the morbidity was caused by the one cause.

Explore America's Campgrounds
When it comes to handgun targets, there are only two typical targets you will find. The first is the dartboard target, which is essentially a series of decreasing rings set within one another like the target in the game of darts. The second target, typically used in law enforcement firing ranges, is the silhouette target, which depicts the black silhouette of a human head and torso against a white background. Other handgun targets exist, but these are the standard targets you will find at just about any commercial gun range.
Set up the target. If you are at a commercial shooting range, you can just attach your target to the appropriate background. If you are firing in the woods or in a similar outdoors location, make sure that there is a strong backstop to catch your bullets. Hay bales and a commercial bullet stop are recommended.
Start shooting.
Examine your target once you have finished firing to determine scoring. For dartboard targets, each bullet placed in the bullseye ring is worth 10 points, with bullets in the outer rings being scored one point less for each successive ring away from the bullseye. With silhouette targets, the scoring portion of the target is towards the middle of the torso, with the bullseye being a center-shot near the chest and progressively lower scores being assigned to the areas outwards away from the center. Some silhouette targets also assign high scores for the head area--this being representative of a "kill" shot--though they are not the typical format used by professional target shooters or law enforcement personnel. Head shots are scored differently depending on the target, with some targets assigning a score double that of a bullseye, and others scoring them far lower.

Donald Trump wants the United States to stop negotiating blanket trade deals that include a number of countries, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership, and instead negotiate one-on-one with individual countries.
"I don't mind making agreements, but we shouldn't make agreements with 12 countries," Trump said at a rally in this Indiana college town Monday night. "We should make agreements with one-on-one. One-on-one. One-on-one. And you know what? If they don't treat us right, we pull the agreement."
Trump has long been critical of the country's trade agreements and has promised for months that if he becomes president, he will hire the world's most aggressive negotiators to hammer out future deals. Trump insists that he supports free trade, but he has advocated for what he calls "fair trade" and "smart trade," which could involve threatening to charge some countries or companies massive tariffs in an effort to keep more jobs in the United States. In recent days, Trump has expanded on his trade plans, saying he doesn't want any blanket agreements because they are too complicated and too difficult to escape if another country takes advantage of the United States.
He said few lawmakers fully understand the ongoing negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which he says "will make NAFTA look like a baby." He warned his supporters that entering the new trade agreement would be like getting caught up in a spider web that's difficult to escape.
"I want one-on-one: If somebody treats us well, we make a trade agreement, and I'll have the best negotiators in the world make a fair agreement. Okay?" Trump said. "I don't want to be tied up: If 'Country A' does this and if 'Country C' does that, then 'Country D' will be able to come to — nobody knows what the hell is going on. And the bad countries, countries that haven't treated us well, benefit because they get the benefit of what the good countries are getting. So everybody is taking advantage. It's a disaster."

To the Stars audiobook
How far is too far? What price do we pay for expanding our knowledge to the limit, for exploring the farthest reaches of the universe, for extending our reach To the Stars?
Alan Corday, a smart yet desperate young man, is about to find out. His family fortune squandered and the woman he loves unattainable, Corday will go to almost any length to change his luck. But his desperation leads him into harms way—and into the hands of one Captain Jocelyn and his crew.
Shanghaied from the spaceport at New Chicago, Corday is taken aboard the Hound of Heaven, a craft bound for the stars … on a journey through hell.
186,000 miles per second. The speed of light. It's the only way for the Hound of Heaven to reach its distant destinations. But three months traveling at the speed of light is equal to half a century on earth—and the world they left behind is fast vanishing into the past.
Everything Corday loves, everything he believes in—is history. He is a wanderer in eternity, and nothing in the cold, dark forbidding reaches of space can prepare him for the astounding discovery he will make upon his long-awaited return from the stars.
Performers: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jim Meskimen, Bob Caso and Jack Armstrong.
"One of the greatest science fiction novels that has ever been written" —Jerry Pournelle, author of Lucifer's Hammer
The novel, To the Stars, is built with masterly skills from hard, scientific theory—in this case, the Einstein-Lorentz-Fitzgerald "time-dilation" equation: "As mass approaches the speed of light, time approaches zero."
L. Ron Hubbard initially encountered the theory as an engineering student at George Washington University and first broached the equation as a theme in his story "Beyond All Weapons." In To the Stars, the motif took on groundbreaking proportions—a story seminal in scope, technical detail and influence and, by reader and critical consensus, the classic science fiction treatment of the time-dilation effect.
The novel starts off with one of the most celebrated opening lines in the history of the genre:
"Space is deep, Man is small and Time is his relentless enemy."

For about the first 20 minutes, The Savages has the making of a classic comedy about a pair of neurotic intellectual siblings who become unhinged when their elderly father develops dementia and they have to put him in a nursing home. Unfortunately, once they get him into homecare, the film loses some of its comic drive. Both Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman, though, save the movie from sinking into total lethargy.
After a long absence, writer/director Tamara Jenkins returns to the screen after her biting debut comedy The Slums of Beverly Hills in 1998, a film that also carried the seeds of family dysfunction. In The Savages, Wendy Savage (Linney) is a failed playwright in New York City who makes ends meet doing temp jobs while sleeping with a married neighbor. Her brother Jon (Hoffman) is a theatre professor in Buffalo who is struggling along writing a tome on Bertolt Brecht and feeling ambivalent about his Polish immigrant girlfriend. Their father (Philip Bosco) is a cantankerous old coot who reminds the kids of their personal failings.
Linney continues to create wonderfully comic neurotics, playing a woman who doesn't feel that she's good enough, which still doesn't stop her from pretending that she's better than everybody thinks. Hoffman's quietly droll manner disguises a creative guy who, deep down, doesn't feel he deserves better things. But, while Bosco is initially disconsolately funny, the part becomes pretty much a one-note affair by the end. The Savages loses its comic edge, too, because of the story's inevitability. Jenkins doesn't provide enough inspired invention for the plot, but at least the characters in this flawed diamond remain vividly engaging.
Distributor: Fox Searchlight
Cast: Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Philip Bosco

Lighting is so important in your home, not just at night, but in general – placing your dressing table in the wrong part of your room lead to bad lighting and orange make up. But lamps can aslo add to your decor. Rather than going for a standard shape, or style try looking at stands with interesting shapes, I have some that look like Deer antlers for example.
As well as shape, you can also think about the texture or the material of the lamp shade – this can change the way the light fills the space. I love the patterned lamp shades that become more vibrant when they are turned on.
I ordered this Grenade lamp from Iconic Lights – my original plan was to add it to my lounge – it fits in quite well. The wooden frame matches our wooden furniture and the Grenade shape does not look out of place amoungst our collection of custom graffiti prints and various skulls.
I had planned to spray it white and rough up the edges a bit, but I didn't realise someone else had an eye on it. The grenade was quickly 'borrowed' to join the team at Scoundrels Barber, as Joe thought it would look more at home in his masculine work space.
I have to admit, he wasn't wrong – the lamp now sits in the sandy window, pride of place next to his cactus.
How do you light your rooms?

And All That Jazz
Fracture: Life and Culture in the West, 1918–1938
By Philipp Blom
Atlantic Books 482pp £25 order from our bookshop
In 'East Coker' (1940), T S Eliot looked back at the period from 1918 to 1939 in melancholy, regretful terms as 'the years of l'entre deux guerres': a sad, possibly wasted time, rather than a terrible one. His mood of gentle resignation seems apt, not only for his personal and spiritual life but also for the general tenor of those days as experienced by the people of his recently adopted country. By and large, the twenty-year breather between the two periods of mass slaughter was fairly cushy for the British. For us, gloom and grumbling; for others, atrocity.
To be sure, there was hunger, unemployment and

Samsung Galaxy S4 turns into smart TV remote with IR sensor and WatchOn
There have been more and more remote control apps coming out for the Android platform as of late, and it should come as no surprise as the hardware inside most or all devices these days almost begs for this type of feature to exist. And that is not a bad thing, considering that a built-in remote control feature means one less device to worry about when trying to operate the electronics inside your house.
And now, with the announcement of its latest flagship smartphone, Samsung has taken the idea of a built-in remote control on a smartphone just a little bit further. The Samsung Galaxy S4, which was just announced as the newest Android-powered Galaxy-branded smartphone from Samsung at an event held in New York's Radio City Music Hall, comes with a built-in IR blaster. This in turn will allow its users to transform it into a full-fledged smart TV remote control.
This type of feature was first demonstrated with the Samsung Galaxy Note tablets. Then called Samsung Video Discovery, it can be used to control a user's media center, look up on-demand content, check the latest TV programs, and even purchase media directly from any compatible devices. Now that the Galaxy S4 is here, the feature's name has been changed to WatchOn. But it still works in pretty much the same way.
With most of the Galaxy S4′s new software features being touted as merely gimmicks by some people, this is one of the things that will surely be useful.
The post Samsung Galaxy S4 turns into smart TV remote with IR sensor and WatchOn appeared first on Android Authority.

URL on the portal with a selected task
We want to send an email to the user with a link to the portal that shows the task he/she has to process. The following URL worked well with version 6.5. It opened the portal's task list and the task to be processed (in the example the task with id 480021) was already selected
This link doesn't work anymore with version 7.4. The portal open, but the task isn't selected. The new documented URL works differently : the task is directly started outside the portal, and without checking if another user already took the task.
Is there a way with version 7.4 to have a link that opens the portal with a selected task?
Thank you
+1 Sean, you have to assign the task to the first user to avoid that, because, in 7.x, the task is not assigned. So Portal display the task, you start to modify it and the submit failed because you are not the owner of the task.
To assign the task, you can do that in advance.
But Mupat has a different use case: the mail is sent to multiple users. So, he want then that first in, first in... [sorry about that one]
What is the solution ? The Assign widget is built for you!
Just drop this widget in your form. It does not pop up any visible part, and when the user arrives on the task, this widget immediately sends an Assign to the server. Then, you solve your issue at 95%. Second user access the same URL form the link? It will get a screen "sorry, this task is already assigned".
What about the last 5 %?
Well, there is a delay between the form and the Widget Execution. So, if 2 people click on the link, the portal check if the task is assigned: not in that situation.
Then, the two browsers display the form.
At initialization, the two browsers send the assignment request. We assume the transaction is correctly done in BonitaEngine : one assignment will work, second failed.
To be honest, I'm not sure what's the widget return then in case of error: I assume it displays then a warning to the second user know he lost at this moment.
Hope this help!
We got round this by assigning the task to the user first (using a Connector/API), then sending the email to the user.

Make A Complete Website From Scratch – Part 4:Server
Many people on the internet aren't familiar with how to make a decent website on the internet. In an effort to remedy that, this episode kicks off the first of a five part series explaining the different aspects of building a good looking, database driven website from scratch.
In part 4 of this series, we will look at the basics of creating a MySQL database that will store the content for our website.
Here's a list of the other tutorials in the series:

Kevin, http://www.icann.org/ is the one making sure that people pay for domain names so that they have the right to that name, like google.com is owned by google… and Domain names show professionalism, with your domain name, it is one of the best investments you can make in your site the domain name facebook.com can be sold for more than 25 billion.

PLEASE HELP! I have Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 router and I dont know how to add new port forwarding.
I have searched everywhere!
August 18, 2012 at 5:07 am
I am new, nay super new to anything outside the realm of word. I have been watching your videos and am at a stand still now that I have come to the webserver. It seemed so easy when you did it and I am sure with some routers it is that easy but when I tried to set port forwarding up mine looked nothing like yours or any other one I looked up on youTube. I am using the modem/router from Xfinity, everything I tried didn't work at all. HELP Please! If I can't set up my own server what company is good to go with that I can finish the rest of the tutorial videos using.
September 6, 2012 at 1:40 pm

I found this old journal in one of my bags. It's got entries from five years ago. Very interesting. Don't you just love finding your old journals and reading about your innermost thoughts from back then?
Well, here's an entry from 5/25/04 midnight:
Cleaning my bag
a dead cellphone

(CBS News) The defense is expected to call its first witness Monday in the trial of once-revered Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
He's charged with 52 counts involving the alleged sexual abuse of 10 boys over 15 years.
During a dramatic first week of testimony, eight accusers portrayed him as a sexual predator, saying he'd abused them. All were vulnerable "young men ranging from 18 to 28 years old, most raised in unstable homes with no father figure, who turned to Sandusky and his Second Mile charity for help, and hope," observes CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian.
One of Sandusky's defense lawyers told CBS News he met with his attorneys at his house Friday for more than six hours. Sources have told CBS News that Sandusky is likely to take the stand.
But Jean Casarez, a correspondent for truTV's "In Session," said Sandusky's wife, Dottie, "could be the best witness for the defense."
She told "CBS This Morning: Saturday" co-hosts Jeff Glor and Rebecca Jarvis that's because, "In Centre County, State College, Pennsylvania, Jerry Sandusky was a hero. I mean, he was someone everybody looked up to. He was a coach at Penn State University. He founded The Second Mile, a charity that helped so many. She could try to bring that back to this jury and this courtroom, something that everybody believed in until this happened to try to change the course of this trial to show, wait a minute, stop, maybe there are two sides to this story. Because the defense truly has to be that these children can't be believed that are now adults."
Casarez says, "Spending that time with Jerry Sandusky in his home (Friday), it looks like they're going to put him on the stand. They hinted toward it in their opening statements. And I think Jerry wants to take the stand. Because since he's been charged with 52 counts of sexual abuse and raping children, he's done two interviews. He likes to talk. So I think he very likely may take the stand and the Commonwealth (of Pennsylvania), I'm sure, in the cross-examination will try to get confessions out of him."
Complete coverage: The Penn State Scandal
The judge ruled Friday that Sandusky's lawyers can enter expert testimony saying Sandusky suffers from a personality disorder.
But that would be risky, Casarez points out, saying, "We'll see if the defense does this or not. Because there are pros and cons.
"First of all, histrionic personality disorder, what is it? It is who someone is aggressive, their behavior, their actions, their words. But the point is to get attention. And somebody can even be sexually aggressive, but it's not for a sexual intent. It's just to get attention. And I truly think the defense is going to want this for all of Jerry Sandusky's actions.
"So it sounds great, right? They're going to ask the judge to instruct the jury that he can be found innocent of everything.
"But here's the problem: Now the commonwealth's psychologist (could) actually assess Jerry Sandusky personally. There's an assessment. They ask him questions. All of that can be used against him. There can be a diagnosis. So the psychologist for the commonwealth can tell the jury, if he takes the stand, 'This is a classic pedophile. I assessed him myself. I diagnosed him. He's classic.'
"So, I think the defense may not even do this. But they can if they want to."

(BlackDoctor.org) — Haunted houses, horror movies and scary masks are not the only frightening things about Halloween. This time of year can be the beginning of three months of holiday weight gain.
Sugary, fat-filled treats seem to start appearing on co-workers' desks, in waiting areas, on every aisle of the grocery store, and even on your kitchen counter. It is hard to avoid giving into the temptation of having a few of these treats throughout the day.
But each piece of candy means extra calories, which can translate into weight gain. An extra 3,500 calories in one week can mean 1 pound of weight gain. Consider the fact that one serving of miniature peanut butter cups contains 210 calories and 12 grams of fat. That means just five peanut butter cups and a handful of candy corn can easily add an extra 500 calories in one day. What can we do to make this holiday the beginning of a healthy holiday season?
Buy healthy snacks to replace the traditional Halloween treats. Miniature granola bars, small boxes of raisins, mini-popcorn bags, and whole fruits are great treats that can be low-fat and low-calorie. Handing out non-food treats to the trick-or-treaters, such as stickers, crayons, or pencils, are more great options to help eliminate unhealthy foods from your household.
Avoid the temptation to have "just one more." Keep treats out of sight. If possible, buy an appropriate amount of candy that you do not like the day before Halloween. Avoid opening the package until trick-or-treaters start arriving and hopefully the candy will be all gone by the end of the night. If there is extra, put it in the freezer to prevent its enticement.
Host a healthy Halloween party. Offer to host a party and serve plenty of healthy snacks, such as a vegetable tray, popcorn, and homemade treats. If you are attending a party, exercise and eat a well-balanced meal before attending in order to curb your appetite.
Set a limit. If you want one piece of candy, limit yourself to one piece. One piece of candy should satisfy your craving. In case you are still tempted, keep other healthy snacks like nuts, granola bars, or sugar-free pudding around.
Remember the eating behaviors that begin on Halloween will set the tone for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, so make this the start of a healthy holiday season.

When i was in high school I worked at an eating establishment that shall remain nameless. Most of the time I worked nights, except when I opened Sunday morning. The girl that worked that sunday shift with me was one that to this day tops my list of hottest women I have ever personally known! And what made it even better was that she knew it.
She flaunted it to get tips from customers, and get anything else she wanted from co workers. I was 16, and she was 31and married with a couple of kids. I admit that I am not the world's richest, smoothest or most attractive man, but one wintry Sunday morning back in 1996 I might as well have been.
We came in and from the start that morning was different.
She was wearing a pair of form fitting khakis that threatened to show some camel toe, and beneath her uniform shirt she was braless. The cold weather had left her with hard nipples and I couldn't help but stare.
Chris was in charge of setting up the cash registers, while I was in charge of the kitchen, and by wonderful design, the floor safe was located up the isle directly in front of the cooking station. Although she had worked there for three years, this morning Chris found herself having trouble opening the safe.
For fifteen minutes she toyed with the dial, all the while her nice, firm young ass pointed directly at me and the top of her red thong poking out of her pants. And it was an amazing ass. The type of ass that you just want to bury your face in until you can't breath, and then you still want more. Beneath my apron I had a major hard on going. The kind that you HAVE to do something about if you want to remain sane.
A woman can never really understand that feeling. Sometimes you feel like you get so horny you feel like you'll explode or pass out if you don't do something about it. I decided that a trip to the bathroom was in order, so I headed that direction, right passed Chris. At the same instant she stepped back, right into my throbbing erection. It was the most exciting moment of my life, up to that point. It was also the most embarassing. I KNEW she was far out of my league, and expected her to smack the hell out of me.
Instead she kinda stepped back and grinned.
Not knowing what to say, and being an embarrassed 16 year old, I kept going. I got in the bathroom, dropped my pants and started masterbating wildly.
I was about to cum when she started knocking. It was one of those moments where you can almost feel the cum suck back up into your balls. I didn't know what was going on. I was expecting either her big former football playing husband or the cops to show up.
Instead the door squeaked open and Chris walked in. "Hello?" she said from outside the stall. I didn't answer, just sat totally still. "Are you okay?" "Uh yeah, I'm fine," I stuttered. "Well, uhm, not feeling so well." And suddenly she drops to her knees and stares up at me from under the stall's wall.
There I am, a fat 16 year old sitting there holding my rock hard cock with a hotter than hell 31 year old looking right at me. "Please don't stop, I want to watch," she said. Not beliveing my ears I try to say something else and she just smiles.
"Look, I've done everything with my husband. I've jerked him off, sucked him off, he's fucked me in the ass and he's fucked me in the pussy in a few hundred positions. I even let him and his little brother double team me once, when we were just dating. But he won't masturbate for me.
Will you? Please?" I'm confused and embarrassed and don't know how to respond. "If you will, I'll show you my pussy." Somehow I reached over and unlocked the stall, and Chris joined me inside.
She pulled her shirt off, and with the sight of those nice breasts and hard nipples just inches from my face and start to stroke again. She undid her khakis and as she bent slightly forward to slide them down, her mouth is almost right at the head of my penis. "Cum for me," she whispers and I can feel her breath.
I stroke harder. She pulls down her panties and reveals a neatly trimmed mane of blondish-brown pubic hair. I wanted it to keep going, I wanted to spend all day in there, but when she reached down and parted her pussy lips, I cam and cam hard.
When I was done she bent forward and kissed me passionately on the lips. "That was fun, wasn't it?
I think you'll do very well.' she asked. Guys, I don't know if you've ever jerked off for a woman before, but if you haven't, the first moment after you blow your load you really do just feel like a jerk. But Chris bent down and started kissing my neck and all was forgotten.
"But we're not done yet. We've got two hours before anybody else will be in, and I'm horny. My husband is out of town on a business trip…and I didn't get any last night." Then she whispered in my ear. "I did masturbate a lot, but that just didn't seem to do any good." "Wh-what do you want?" "Take your clothes all the way off," she ordered, and I did just as I was told.
Then she took me by the hand and led me out of the bathroom stall. She stopped to admire herself in the bathroom mirror, and the leaned forward to rest her arms on the sink. I stared down at her ass and felt my cock getting hard again. "Eat my ass, bitch. Eat it like you're starving." I dropped to my knees behind Chris's beautiful ass. My nervous hands slid up her legs and groped her cheeks. "We don't have all day!" I parted her ass cheeks so I could see her beautiful brown eye.
I hesitated for a moment, and then buried my face in her ass. I never would have imagined licking someone's ass would be so much fun, but it was. I ran my tongue up and down her crack, and then let it flick over her ass hole. She arched her back and moaned.
I gripped her hips and pulled myself deeper in. After a few minutes she stood up and pushed me back. Then she ordered me to lay down on my back. I did as I was told.
Chris crouched over my face, and then lowered her ass back down onto me. I picked up where I had left off, licking her beautiful ass clean until I couldn't breathe. But she kept riding me, even when I started gasping for air. Just when I thought I would pass out, she raised her ass off of me and lowered her pussy to my mouth. Before I could even start eating her, suddenly my mouth was filled with a warm gush of piss.
She laughed, and I swallowed as I started to lick her cunt. A few minutes later she orgasmed, and once again my mouth was filled with a hot liquid.
Then we got dressed and went back to work like nothing had ever happened. I worked with her every sunday for a year, and that day never happened again. Except in my head late at night.

So, I've been in a big pasta mood lately, as you can probably tell by what I've posted. Plus, it's super easy to make good pasta and lately I've been too tired to try and make something more involved. This dish is not hard, and I actually didn't put bacon/prosciutto in it because I forgot to buy it, ha, and it was still really good. I recommend putting at least 1.5 tsp of salt in it, as this recipe leaves it to your discretion I didn't put enough in and had to add to it while eating. I also just used a regular small white onion instead of a shallot so that's up to you as well. For me, simpler is always better. Even if it's what's simpler at the grocery store to grab. There's several steps to this recipe, but don't let that scare you, it's not hard at all, and actually it would be pretty hard to mess up. Go for it! Everyone will love it, I have my toddler and husband as proof :-).
2 eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
1½ cups heavy cream
⅔ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 shallot, diced
1 lb chicken breast, cut into thin strips
½ lb. dried spaghetti
⅔ cup peas (fresh or frozen)
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon zest and parsley, and whisk to blend. Set aside.
Cook the spaghetti in the salted boiling water until just al dente according to package directions. Drain.
Heat two teaspoons of olive oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the prosciutto, garlic and shallot, and saute, stirring occasionally, until fat begins to render, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Turn the heat on medium-low. Add prosciutto and stir to combine. Next, add the spaghetti, egg and cream mixture and peas, and toss over medium heat until the sauce coats the pasta thickly, about 4-5 minutes (sauce will thicken as it stands). Do not boil! Taste, and season with salt and pepper, as desired.

EQUIFit – for your personal vertigo therapy
without medication and non-invasive
Get back on your feet
Vertigo throws you off balance. Whether you suffer from chronic vertigo or attacks, vertigo limits every aspect of one's life, even though most forms of vertigo can be effectively cured.
EQUIFit is a unique, newly developed biofeedback system. It provides affected people of all ages with a targeted therapy for their vertigo – without any medication and using non-invasive techniques.
In the human body countless regulatory processes and bodily functions take place at any time without us being aware of this. Biofeedback detects these events and makes them accessible, e.g. through sounds. This allows the user to consciously influence otherwise unconscious body functions and control circuits.
When we are in equilibrium, we keep our head and body straight: we are in the so-called equilibrium position.
EQUIFit is worn just like a regular headphone. Through its positioning directly on the head, it captures the information that is otherwise perceived by our inner ear: the relative position of the head and its movements.
If the user deviates from the equilibrium position, EQUIFit provides them with acoustic feedback by surround sound, allowing the user to bring themselves back into equilibrium. Through regular training, the other senses involved in balance learn to determine this position and vertigo disappears.
EQUIFit is a complete system and is ready to use. All exercises and training programmes are already preinstalled in the audio guide.
The user starts with an introduction to the functions, such as gesture control, and undergoes an initial short evaluation.
EQUIFit dynamically adapts the exercises to training progress and of course individual form on the day – so you train safely and effectively at all times.
EQUIFit has been specially developed for the treatment of vestibular vertigo: for vertigo that is triggered by dysfunction of the organ of balance (the vestibular organ) in the inner ear. Our balance is based on the perfect interplay of numerous sensory impressions. The targeted training with EQUIFit allows the remaining senses to compensate for the failure of the inner ear.

|Condition or disease
|Headache Sinusitis Rhinitis Facial Pain
- Rationale Our aim is to conduct a prospective study to assess the patients referred for rhinosinusitis to a tertiary rhinologic practice whose symptoms include headache/facial pain, but have no evidence of significant rhinologic disease and determine whether a neurologic etiology is responsible for headaches or facial pressure/pain symptoms.
- Key Objectives 1. Assess prevalence of headache syndromes in patients with primary complaints of facial pain and headaches. 2. Correlate average Lund McKay CT scan score in patients with headache syndromes
- Study Population Patients referred to Dr. McGinn's otorhinolaryngologic practice for assessment of rhinosinusitis who do not meet the criteria for the diagnosis of rhinosinusitis.
- Major Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria Inclusion criteria include patients greater than 18 years of age, literate in the English language, referred by a physician for primary complaint of "sinusitis", major symptomatic complaint of headache or facial pain/pressure, CT scan must have been performed prior and available for review at the time of visit. Exclusion criteria include evidence of chronic rhinosinusitis, a modified LM score greater than 2, pregnancy, history of prior facial trauma or tumor in the head and neck region, specifically the nasal area, past history of autoimmune disorder affecting the head and neck region (e.g., Wegener's granulomatosis).
- Allocation to Groups None
- Procedures: Participants will be asked to complete a headache questionnaire and the SNOT-20 questionnaire (a validated tool developed by Dr. Picirillo). Information from the subjects' medical records related to their headaches and facial pain will be recorded for the research. This information will include the results of the CT scan, nasal endoscopic exam, and clinical exam.
- Major Risks and Discomforts: Loss of confidentiality.
- Confidentiality: No patient names or other identifying information will be revealed in the course of the study. There will be no direct patient identifiers on the database utilized for this study. The initial patient form scanned into the database will utilize a coded identifier based on chronological order in order to prevent inadvertent disclosure of private medical data. The code will be kept secure in a locked filing cabinet in the principal investigator's office and destroyed once the data are collected and the study is completed.
- Investigator Qualifications & Specific Roles in the Research Johnathan M. McGinn, MD is a board certified otolaryngologist.
- Study Site Location(s) - Hershey Medical Center outpatient clinic
