Digital Media Online Launches New Virtual Reality Sites - VR Developer Net and VR Gamer NetTwo sites bring focus on VR Developer Community needs as well as VR consumer games and applications
Oct 3, 2016 - Digital Media Online today announced the launch of two vertical sites focusing on the emerging Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality markets and technologies. According to CEO Lou Wallace, "The timing of the launch of these new sites is perfect. Research firm Superdata Research has projected sales of VR software and hardware will hit $2.8 billion this year, and they foresee it increasing to $22 billion by 2019 and $40 billion by 2020."
"Now that Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Samsung Gear are shipping and Sony's Playstation VR is schedule for release Oct 13, 2016, the need for information for consumers on hardware, peripherals, graphics cards and of course games has become critical. Our new www.VRGamerNet.com will address those needs."
"Just as important however is the VR Developer side of the equation. While the technology is now real and shipping, there is still a lack of industry wide standards and processes for developers to implement the software and content. The needs from the VR Developer point of view are significant. From 360 Video to 3D Software, User Interface issues and multiplatform development, to where to go to find production services, equipment purchases and rentals, hire talent, programmers and technicians. To discover the best way to create and monetize VR/AR, developers will need this kind of information along with an industry wide vehicle to get their voices heard. We intend to offer that on www.VRDeveloperNet.com."
Jeff Edson, CEO of Assimilate said "The VR market is exploding with content being created every day. All agree, the key to the broad success of VR lies in delivery of high quality imagery. The tools being used are evolving along with the workflows. Having a place to go to that consolidates information to content creators is critical."
VR Developer Net will feature project stories from real developers, opinions and suggestions from within the developer industry as well as news from and about the producers, product resources, service providers and facilities in the market. VR Gamer Net will supply the reader information on the latest games, buying guides, news and reviews and videos showing game play and products and peripherals. Each site is a standalone publication but will allow easy access to the other from its navigation menus.

Mobile Workstations for CAD Users
Find out what you need in a mobile workstation.
Editor's note: Through a sponsorship by Dell and Intel, Cadalyst editors bring you this feature, part of a special series of articles designed to educate CAD users and managers about the benefits and realities of professional workstations. Find even more information at the CADspeed blog.
By Tony DeYoung
While the simplest advice for choosing a mobile workstation is "buy the most powerful one you can afford," CAD users have special needs. The size and complexity of CAD applications and data change this advice to "decide what you mean by mobile and then choose the specs that offer you at least 80% of the functionality you ideally want."
The 17-inch Desktop Replacements
Mobile workstations with 17-inch screens are an amazing feat of miniaturization. When settled on a desk and plugged into a power outlet, they provide almost the full CPU and GPU performance of a full-sized workstation, with support for all peripherals — all in a self-contained package.
That said, they are not mobile devices that you can carry around and use on the go. To use them you need to settle in and nest.
Dual vs Quad Core: If you are rendering (e.g., SolidWorks RealView), go with a Quad Core. RealView takes advantage of all cores. If you are not rendering, I would probably look for dual core models because they typically have higher clock speeds. Clock speed matters more than cores for applications that are not multithreaded, and you get much better heat dissipation, which is a real issue in a small package.
RAM: Minimum 6 GB. Most 17-inch laptops have 4 DIMM slots, so you can buy less expensive DIMMs to get to the RAM you need (e.g. 4 X 2 GB DIMM as opposed to 2 X 4GB DIMM).
Workstation graphics card: This is mandatory and fortunately standard in most CAD-capable workstations. Just a caution — don't select the low end default graphics card. You will come to regret it.
Built-in display: If you can afford it, go with the 1920 x 1200 screen. It is big enough to make that resolution viable (no tiny, tiny text) and screen real estate is always useful when you can't hook up to your external displays. If color accuracy and no grayscale-banding-when-rendering matters to you, go with the pricer Dell RGBLED or HP DreamColor display. The standard WLED/LED displays are fine for Office tasks as well as non-shaded CAD or architectural drawings (but verify they are at least 8-bit and not 6-bit displays).
Working on the Go? The 15-inch Mobile Workstation
15-inch devices are small enough to actually be considered mobile (as in you can use them anywhere, anytime). With some intelligent buying choices, you can get a lot of CAD goodness in a small, portable form factor. Pretty much everything I mentioned for 17- inch laptops applies to 15-inch mobile workstations, but let me add on a bit.
CPU: If it is an option with the laptop vendor, stick with dual core at higher clock speed, then quad core at lower clock speed. This saves battery life and gives you faster performance for non-rendering CAD tasks. Remember, your goal is to be unconstrained by the need for a nearby power outlet. You want a laptop that stays cools and has staying power. 15-inch laptops can go about 75 min when processing CAD under battery power. Not bad, especially when compared to the 17-inch average of just 45 min. (Your mileage will vary depending on the size of models and the amount of time you spend thinking vs. manipulating.)
RAM: Don't skimp on RAM to save cash. Go with the 8 MB option. The default 2 MB or 4 MB offered for some 15-inch models just means you will spend more when you eventually need to upgrade.
Display: For the display, just make sure that it is at least an 8-bit option. Check out a grayscale blended image with your own eyes, before you buy. If you see banding, you want to look for a different display.
Hard Drive: While a regular hard drive is fine for a 17-inch workstation where you are putting down roots when you use the system, with a 15-inch mobile workstation, you need an SSD (solid-state drive) for two reasons:
- You are going to move this computer around while it is working. You are supposed to power down your hard drive when you move it, but I never do. I simply move the laptop with the hard drive spinning away. This is a recipe for data loss. However, SSDs can be moved without potentially damaging your data. There are no moving parts to break. So, get a 200+ GB SSD. If you can afford it, spring for extra storage in a 500 GB SSD.
- The other big advantage of SSDs over hard drives: typically they are faster and lighter.
Backup: Finally, get some kind of backup option in place, preferably cloud-based so it is offsite. 15-inch laptops are magnets for theft because they are small and relatively lightweight.
What about 14-inch or smaller mobile devices?
For CAD production work, forget anything smaller than 15 inches — you won't have the performance or the real estate you need. But for CAD or architectural presentation work, smaller laptops or tablets can be great options. You can do some incredible demos of your CAD work to clients on an iPad. While you can't really modify anything, you can present your work in a form factor that makes everyone want to interact.

Damn, i wanted to watch that one! Cool beans!
You missed a really great episode.
BS. The Moon itself is a lie.
On a side note, I encourage people to call the moon by it's real name: Luna. "The Moon" just won't do.
I don't beleive any of this, I'm just pointing out it's possible. Once again mythbusters make wild assumtions about things and take them as proof.

Record Description
This collection covers the years 1848-1991.
The records include digital images of probate records from the New Zealand Archives. The records were created by local courts throughout New Zealand regions. Images are being published as images become available.
The probate records are categorized in order by county, record type, date range, and volume. The earlier probate packets are arranged in three series arranged alphabetically by surname. The more recent records are filed by date.
An index is available on the Archives of New Zealand website, which will give the probate record number associated with a name. When you search for a name on the index, it will bring up a list of documents that mention that name. When you find the entry you are looking for, click on "Order Details" to find the probate record number. On FamilySearch find the range of record numbers that includes your record number. Be prepared to sort through the files as they are often out of numerical order at the beginning of the set.
Anyone of legal age and sound mind, who owned property (real or personal) in New Zealand, had the right to leave a will. The probate process began with a testator executing a will, followed by witnesses attesting and subscribing the will. After the death of a testator, the will was probated by the executor, usually at the court nearest the deceased's place of residence.
Whereas a will was the only record necessary for the transfer of property and belongs to family and close friends, disagreements often occurred. To solve such disagreements, all those involved instigated a probate. The records in this collection represent the eventual conclusions of those probate hearings.
Probate records are court records that describe the distribution of a person's estate after he or she dies.
Even though probate records were not created for every person who died, they are very helpful for research because civil authorities began recording probate actions earlier than they recorded birth and death records.
To learn more about the probate records, the article New Zealand Probate Records has an expanded description of the records.

General Information About These Records
The earliest probate packets are arranged in 3 series arranged alphabetically by surname. The more recent records are filed by date.
While probate records are one of the most accurate sources of genealogical evidence, they must be used with some caution.
For example:
- They may omit the names of deceased family members or those who have previously received an inheritance.
- The spouse mentioned in a will may not be the parent of the children mentioned, or relationships noted in the will may not have the same meaning as they do today.

Roger Brown on High School Basketball: Seeds will be sown tonightBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 27. 2014 10:13PM
The final weekend of the high school basketball regular season is upon us. Much has been settled, but there is plenty still to be determined as well — especially in Division I.
Manchester Central (18-0), Trinity of Manchester (16-1) and Merrimack (16-2) will be the top three seeds for the Division I boys' tournament, which begins Tuesday. Trinity will finish No. 2, regardless of tonight's outcome against Dover.
The No. 4 seed will go to either Bishop Guertin of Nashua (13-4) or Londonderry (13-4). BG will wrap up the regular season with a home game against Spaulding of Rochester tonight, and Londonderry will finish with a contest at Nashua South. Londonderry holds the tiebreaker edge because it beat BG 64-58 earlier this season.
Since the highest-seeded teams will be at home for the tournament's preliminary round and quarterfinals, the No. 4 seed could earn either BG or Londonderry an extra home game.
Winnacunnet of Hampton (11-6), Bedford (10-7) and Exeter (10-8) are the other teams that will be at home for the preliminary round. Bedford will enter tonight's home game against Keene with a nine-game winning streak. Exeter won its last five games to secure the No. 8 seed.
The other question mark comes further down in the standings, where Alvirne of Hudson (5-12), Manchester West (5-12) and Nashua North (5-12) are all fighting to get in the tournament. Two of the three teams will qualify.
North will play at Alvirne tonight, and the winner will extend its season. The loser of that game will also qualify if West loses at Concord tonight, since both North and Alvirne beat West this season. West will qualify if it beats Concord.
- - - - - - -
DEFENDING champion Bedford (17-0) has secured the No. 1 seed for the Division I girls' tournament, which begins Wednesday. Londonderry (14-3) will be the No. 2 seed if it defeats Nashua South in Londonderry tonight.
After that, three teams — Bishop Guertin (13-4), Nashua North (13-4) and Pinkerton Academy of Derry (13-4) — are battling for the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds.
BG will wrap up the regular season at Spaulding, Nashua North will conclude its regular-season schedule with a home against Alvirne, and Pinkerton will finish at Salem. If there is a three-way tie, BG and Pinkerton are in the best position because two of North's four losses came against teams that would be involved in the tie (both against BG).
If Keene (4-13) loses to unbeaten Bedford tonight there will also be a three-way tie for the 15th position between Keene, Concord (4-14) and Exeter (4-14). Two of the three teams will qualify for the tournament.
Exeter and Keene are in the best position to win that tiebreaker since two of Concord's victories came against Timberlane, a team that will not make the tournament field. If Keene upsets Bedford, however, Concord would win a two-way tiebreaker against Exeter because it beat Exeter during the regular season.

THE Hinsdale boys' and girls' teams were headed in opposite directions for most of the season. The Hinsdale girls earned the No. 1 seed for the Division IV tournament and improved to 19-0 with Tuesday's 58-21 preliminary-round victory over Concord Christian. The Hinsdale boys lost their first 17 games, but ended their season by beating Concord Christian 49-45 Wednesday night. … Mascenic of New Ipswich junior Jake Stauffeneker reached the 1,000-point milestone when he tossed in 45 points during Tuesday night's 77-54 triumph over Monadnock. He became the eighth Mascenic player (fifth boy) to reach milestone. … Pending its game on Thursday night against Nute of Milton, Derryfield School of Manchester (17-1 before Thursday) was primed to be the No. 1 seed for the Division IV boys' tournament, which starts Tuesday.

This summer, along with an al fresco dining experience, craft beers and mountain views, Standing Stone Brewing Co. will offer live music from 3 to 5 p.m. on the last Sunday of every month.
Ashland's Djangoholics, accompanied by Gayle Wilson on vocals and melodica, will kick off the short concert series Sunday, June 30, on the patio of the restaurant, 101 Oak St., Ashland.
The trio, featuring upright bassist Jeff Addicott and guitarists George Rubaloff and Dan Fellman, typically play small, casual, private events but will make an exception for this prized gig.
As its name suggests, the band plays music by pioneering jazz guitarist and composer Django Reinhardt (1910-1953).
A French gypsy, Reinhardt learned to play violin and banjo guitar at an early age but, in his late teens, taught himself to play guitar after being severely burned in a caravan fire that limited the use of two fingers on his "chording" hand.
"What he did was take gypsy music and fuse it with American jazz to create this hot jazz brand of music," Rubaloff explains. "Eventually, he met (violinist) Stephane Grappelli, a legend himself, and formed the Hot Club of France. They were like the European Beatles, playing stuff that nobody was playing in tea houses around Europe."
In 2002, Rubaloff heard Seattle gypsy jazz band Hot Club Sandwich play at Caldera Tap House. Enthralled by the music, he signed up for jazz lessons with Ed Dunsavage and, shortly after, co-founded the Back Porch Swing band with violinist Linda Powers.
After the project dissolved in 2011, three of its members — Rubaloff, Fellman and Addicott — decided to continue playing Reinhardt's music as a trio.
Addicott often says, "We're the Djangoholics, but we can quit any time."
"But that's not true," Rubaloff says. "We're addicted to Django music."
At Standing Stone, the band will play four of Reinhardt's simple but elegant compositions — "Djangology," "Hungaria," "Swing 42" and "Heavy Artillery" — as well as other popular jazz tunes, including "Monticello" by French gypsy jazz guitarist Romane, "Estaté" ("Summer") by Italian jazz composer Bruno Martino, "Night Off" by Paul Whiteman, and "Belleville Rendez-Vous," a popular song from the animated, cult film "The Triplets of Belleville."
The patio setting and music lend themselves to a "Euro-feel," which is further accentuated by Wilson's melodica.
"The melodica plays a really important part because it gives the music that French element, sort of like an accordion," Rubaloff says.
Standing Stone's summer lineup features more than jazz. Father-son duo Generation Jones, with vocalist Lily Baugh, will play Celtic-flavored acoustic music July 28.
LEFT will present originals and covers from the American rock catalog Aug. 25, and the Paul Schmeling Quartet, with vocalist Calysta Cheyenne, will perform a groovy batch of jazz, pop and blues Sept. 29.
Shows are free to attend. Call 541-482-2448 or see www.standingstonebrewing.com for more information.
Patio Players
This summer, along with an al fresco dining experience, craft beers and mountain views, Standing Stone Brewing Co. will offer live music from 3 to 5 p.m. on the last Sunday of every month.

Students protest 'fracking' Thursday in Mount Pleasant
Chants of "Hell no, hydro-fracking has got to go," were heard near the Mount Pleasant Comfort Inn and Conference Center on Thursday.
Members of the Student Environmental Alliance and Taking Back the Tap were protesting from 2 to 6 p.m. outside the Inn, 2424 S. Mission St., where the Michigan Oil and Gas Association was holding a seminar.
A Facebook event was created by Saline sophomore Chloe Gleichman, president of SEA, to raise awareness by protesting. About 70 people attended the event, coming and going over the four-hour time period.
Gleichman said if water is poisoned, there is no turning back.
"Water is a basic necessity for life," she said. "If there's no water, there's no life."
Walled Lake sophomore Mariah Urueta, SEA member, held a sign that read, "You can't drink money and oil."
"We are here in opposition and protest of hydraulic fracturing," Urueta said. "Fracking is absolutely outrageous and horrible."
A fact sheet on the Michigan Oil and Gas Association's website said fracking is, "a safe, proven and essential process for recovering natural gas and oil from reserves found deep below the earth and often in tight rock."
Ureta said fracturing, "fracking," is extracting natural gas from marcellus shale, and the process includes pumping gas that includes more than 600 chemicals into the ground that goes to the water table.
According to msetc.org, marcellus shale is "a geological formation that was formed by the accumulation of sediment into a sea. This formation was eventually buried over many thousands of years and compressed to produce an organic-rich black shale."
Urueta said fracking is not in Mount Pleasant yet, but it's prevalent in areas north like Pennsylvania with marcellus shale.
The problem with fracking, Urueta said, is it contaminates clean water sources.
"It affects people's health and farming," she said.
Hazel Park senior Carlos Coronado held a sign that said, "Poisoning our water."
"I'm going to be here all day," he said. "It's a very unique opportunity on a local level to raise awareness."
Coronado said many people are unaware of what fracking is, and this is a way to get the word out. People are recognizing what we are doing and honking to support us, he said.
"Previously, the list for fracking-fluid was a disclosed list," he said.
Saline resident Kurt Gleichman came to support his daughter and spread awareness by holding up a sign that read, "Fracking jobs are grave digging our children."
He said the fracking process harms the environment and the water supply. There have been accidents that have contaminated the water supply, specifically in Pennsylvania, he said.
"A lot of (it) flows back out, and they take those toxins and eject them into wells in the ground," he said. "We are trying to nip it in the bud before it comes to Michigan."

LOWELL -- Twenty-seven state legislators and two mayors signed a letter over the weekend calling for a boycott of Market Basket to support employees calling for the return of Arthur T. Demoulas, and on Sunday, some of those employees were fired.
The moves came on the eve of a planned rally aimed at supporting Arthur T. Demoulas at the Market Basket store at 10 Main Street in Tewksbury, which is slated to begin Monday at 9 a.m.
State Sen. Barry Finegold, D-Andover, whose district includes Market Basket's headquarters in Tewksbury, started circulating the letter over the weekend and said he expects many more of his colleagues to sign on.
The letter says the legislators and mayors will boycott the chain to stand with employees who are calling for the Market Basket board of directors to return Arthur T. Demoulas to the position of CEO.
Meanwhile, word emerged Sunday afternoon that at least seven front-office employees were fired over the weekend, including Dean Joyce, supervisor of the company's Tewksbury warehouse.
According to wearemarketbasket.com, a website set up by those working toward Arthur T. Demoulas' reinstatement, other employees who received a termination letter delivered by courier on Sunday include Tom Trainor, Tom Gordon, Steve Paulenka, Jim Lacourse, Joe Schmidt and Mike Kettenbach.
"Others await a similar knock on their door," an unnamed website administrator wrote in a blog post announcing the terminations.
Market Basket management confirmed via email Sunday night that some employees were fired, but did not confirm individual names.
"Their actions continued to harm the company, negatively impacted customers, and inhibited associates' ability to perform their jobs," management said in a statement.
Reports in The Sun and on social media showed empty produce shelves at Market Basket stores around the state over the weekend in the wake of employee protests over Arthur T's firing.
Finegold and at least two other legislators who signed the letter, Rep. Colleen Garry, D-Dracut, and Rep. David Nangle, D-Lowell, said there is nothing they can do legislatively because Market Basket is privately owned.
Both Garry and Nangle said they also wrote to the Market Basket board of directors last year when the board was considering removing Arthur T. as CEO.
Finegold said he usually believes private-sector issues should remain in the private sector, but he said the Market Basket situation is different because employees are risking their livelihoods for a cause that goes beyond wage issues.
"If they're willing to risk their livelihoods, at a minimum, I should be willing to stand up with them," Finegold said.
Other local signatories to the letter include Rep. Tom Golden, D-Lowell; Sen. Jamie Eldridge, D-Acton; Rep. Marc Lombardo, R-Billerica; and Rep. James Arciero, D-Westford. Lawrence Mayor Daniel Rivera and Methuen Mayor Stephen Zanni also signed.
"The current actions of the board and officers is one motivated by corporate greed and will only serve to destroy the legacy the Demoulas family has worked generations to establish," the letter states. "We ask that all of our colleagues join with us across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and boycott Market Basket and stand with its employees and with the standard of delivering low-priced, quality groceries that Arthur T. Demoulas has set."
Attorney General Martha Coakley, who is running for governor, also released a statement calling the actions of Market Basket employees "inspiring," and calling on the current management to respect the voices of employees.
"I hope the current management of Market Basket will respect these voices and that these employees will be able to make their case without losing jobs or their hard-earned benefits," Coakley said. "Market Basket has been a great employer and community partner for decades, and I hope those values are maintained."
Coakley's statement was released just hours before the terminations were announced.
Efforts to reach the employees who were fired Sunday were unsuccessful, but www.wearemarketbasket.com posted a letter from Trainor, who worked for Market Basket for 41 years before his termination, to his former colleagues.
Trainor said he knew he could be fired, but that he did not expect to be fired by a letter delivered by courier.
"I was fired by a courier at my home with my wife and youngest daughter watching," Trainor said. "It wasn't unexpected. When I started this fight over a year ago, I knew the risk but I also knew I was fighting for something much bigger than myself.
"I was fighting for my MB family, for Arthur T. Demoulas, a man that I have tremendous respect, loyalty and admiration for. A man that I would run through a wall for. I have no regrets. I would do it all over again and I leave the company I love with my head held high in the knowledge that there wasn't a single thing more that I could have done."
Trainor signed the letter after saying he would still attend the rally planned for Monday at store number 8 at Stadium Plaza in Tewksbury.

What is all the ROAR about?
- 116 Posts
Ask the students or...Katy Perry? Students and young bloggers
from 3 New York schools gathered in the UNICEF House in New York
anxiously awaiting the announcement of UNICEF's newest Goodwill
Ambassador, Katy Perry. Today, December 3rd, UNICEF was excited
to announce and welcome Katy as the newest Goodwill
Katy's role as a Goodwill Ambassador is to engage young people in speaking about the issues they believe are most important in their own lives and enlisting them to come up with solutions to those challenges" (http://www.unicef.org/media/media_71241.html). While waiting for the global star, I had the chance to ask one student about her thoughts on Goodwill Ambassadors. Trisha, from Plainview Old Bethpage High School in New York stated that a Goodwill Ambassador is "someone who takes initiative, and is involved in projects and in the global community."
Hannah Godefa, UNICEF Ethiopia Youth Ambassador, moderated this
special event and Katy Perry was also welcomed by UNICEF
Executive Director, Anthony Lake. Katy Perry's trip to Madagascar
inspired her to become a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. It was a
life changing trip where she was "inspired by the incredible joy"
on the children's faces. Katy explained that "it's the education,
the information, the intelligence, that you feel valuable with."
She learned this through her trip to Madagascar. Here is Katy's
Unconditionally video inspired by her trip: http://uni.cf/katyperry.
Anthony Lake, UNICEF Executive Director, urged young people, just like you, to "Be involved. Educated. Agitate. ROAR." After smiling for pictures for the press, Katy took the time to pose for student and blogger pictures. Students were beyond excited after meeting Katy and taking pictures with her. One student from The Brooklyn International High School, Souzie (originally from Haiti) told me that Katy's status as a Goodwill Ambassador "is touching because not all celebrities usually do what she just did." Sanousy also from The Brooklyn International High School (originally from Haiti) also said that Katy Perry as a Goodwill Ambassador is "Great. Not many people go to the areas she went to. The people she visits sometimes don't have others that can support them."
Congratulations to Katy Perry and let's continue to let our voices roar!

WILMINGTON, Mass. — Although he's feeling healthy enough to maybe return to the Boston Bruins' line-up soon, winger Milan Lucic needs the entire four-day All-Star break to continue his recovery from an upper-body injury that's forced him to miss the last six games.
So he won't be squaring off with rookie teammate Blake Wheeler as a member of the sophomore squad at Saturday night's YoungStars Game at All-Star weekend in Montreal.
"It's just being safe and whatnot," Lucic said after going through a full practice with the Bruins this morning at Ristuccia Arena. "Obviously it would've been great to be a part of it once again, especially with the 100-year anniversary of the Canadiens. It sucks that I have to miss it. But I got to experience the young guns game last year and now Wheeler can have fun at that game this year."
Lucic involved himself in the all the drills today, including some 3-on-3 battle drills. He said it's up to the trainers to give him clearance before he returns to game action.
"I don't think there'd be an issue of dealing with the pain and whatnot, but you don't want to reaggrivate it. There's still a good chunk of the season left and every part of the season is important, but the most important part is near the end," he said. "So you want to make sure that you're doing the right things to get yourself back and you won't get re-injured."
The other recovering Bruins are still on the same path toward a return. Center Patrice Bergeron said he's still feeling strong. However, he'll stay in Boston to do some conditioning rather than join the team on its trip to Toronto. Defensemen Aaron Ward and Andrew Ference, like Lucic, will go on the trip so they can skate with the team in the morning. Ference took contact in practice today for the first time. He said he'll skate during the break while in New Hampshire and then target a post-break date for his return.
Ward and Lucic will be game-day decisions.
And Phil Kessel, out since Jan. 10 with mononucleosis, made a locker room appearance after a brief workout. You can forgive me for not getting close enough to the sick winger to chat.

As a new mom, I love the insight, parenting tips and ideas I get from blogs—and I especially love to work with bloggers. After attending the Reviewer's Retreat at Great Wolf Lodge Concord, PA-based mom-blogger, Gina Badalaty, wrote about her children's dining experience on her blog, Mom-Blog.com. I asked her to share her story with you.
Gina Badalaty blogs about parenting, raising children with disabilities and advocating for special needs families at Mom-Blog.com. She lives in PA with her husband and 2 beautiful daughters, and a cat that thinks he's a dog.
Tips for Traveling with Kids with Allergies
My children have allergies. Specifically, their diets need to be gluten- and casein-free, which means they can't have dairy or any kind of wheat products. When we travel, we have to be careful not just to avoid glutens, but also to make sure the food they eat is not cross-contaminated. They can't even eat something that has been on the same grill as food filled with glutens.
Going on vacation can be challenging! As you can imagine, this means that vacationing takes extra work on our part, so our favorite trips are to resorts that help make this easier. Great Wolf Lodge is a place we really enjoy. The resort's chef will personally talk with you and discuss your needs for a gluten-free menu. My kids love that at Great Wolf Lodge they can eat food they love, and we are happy that everything can be made to their health requirements. Our meals are even cooked separately!
We've learned a lot along the way. Here are a few of my top tips for traveling families whose children have special diet restrictions and food allergies:
Do your homework beforehand.
There are dozens of apps that tell you where the gluten-free restaurants are, but it's up to you to do your own due diligence. We once went to a park that advertised itself as being dairy- and gluten-free, and when we got there, we discovered that was not the case. Spend time on your destination's website. Call the resort or attraction. We were pleasantly surprised by how accommodating and helpful the staff at Great Wolf Lodge was—it made our vacation less stressful!
Buy fresh produce along the way.
My children eat tons of fruit and vegetables because they are naturally allergen-free and will do in a pinch! We try to buy organic, and during family road trips, when we drive by a local farm stand, we make a stop.
Take advantage of resort amenities.
At Great Wolf Lodge, each suite has a refrigerator and a microwave. We often travel with our own snacks and this is a great way for us to keep fruit fresh during our stay. Gluten-free bagels are easy to carry and eat in the car, as well as serve as late-night snacks!
Talk to the staff.
It is always a good idea to talk to the chef. Many restaurants and resorts, like Great Wolf Lodge, invite you to talk to the chef specifically about your family's dietary needs and allergies. You can share your family's needs and he or she can detail what steps they can take to prepare food that best suits your child.

How does AISI develop standards?
An AISI standard is developed by a panel of experts, within a technical committee. Once the need for a standard has been established, these experts meet to discuss and negotiate a draft standard. As soon as a draft has been developed it is shared with AISI's members who are asked to comment and vote on it. If a consensus is reached the draft becomes an AISI standard, if not it goes back to the technical committee for further edits. Click on the diagram below for further details.

Today and according to our experience, the internet sales activation really is not the mainly problem. The main question is to Create a Sustainable and Lasting Business on Internet. For that reason it is so important to developing a long-term eCommerce Business, using a business plan perfectly controlled.
After 15 years of creating eCommerce, we have clear the way to follow to achieve success in an online project. Really the first thing is to adapt each idea to electronic commerce and not try to adapt the e-commerce to our idea or company business processes
Internet businesses, are made in a particular way. Should Keep in mind that Internet businesses incorporate a very important point.
Between the seller and the buyer exist intermediaries who are the search engines and social platforms so to develop an online business and the business plan has to be present the search engines and social networks as a factor with great importance, and in summary to achieve success we have to adapt our project to the operation of the search engines
For that reason. and as a key factor we have created a structured system to develop business that want to operate on the Internet. Our system is a set of rules and processes that we have used over and over again in the last years, and that the end result will give us an internet business lasting and sustainable.
our Online Business Development system consists of 5 factors:
1 -Build a Online business plan:
Before creating a Online business, we have to know the sales volume we need to meet our needs, and if the niche business we've chosen, allow this sales volume .
We have to know clearly the business economic goals and timelines. Really need this answer before start to invest money
What Online turnover we need to obtain a sustainable project?
To obtain this information, should analyze real data, for that we will analyze the Competition Data .
We will analyze the companies already sell online products and services as ours.

Minute by minute, individuals and companies are bailing from the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in apparent disgust over the show promoter's refusal to allow modern sporting rifles to be displayed at this year's event.
The show, held annually in Harrisburg, Pa., was supposed to begin Feb. 2. From the list of boycotters, it now appears the show is in real jeopardy of being canceled altogether.
Within the past three hours, Deer & Deer Hunting has learned the following individuals/companies have allegedly severed ties with this year's show:
Realtree Outdoors, Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo of Archer's Choice TV, Fred and Michelle Eichler of Muzzy Products and Predator Nation, Barry and Gene Wensel, Larry Weishuhn, Jim and Eva Shockey, and TV personality Stan Potts.
More organizations and companies are withdrawing from the show, including the International Bowhunting Organization. The IBO released this statement Monday night:
Due to the announcement by Reed Exhibitions that manufacturers and vendors with legal modern sporting rifles, accessories, magazines and related items will not be permitted at the 2013 Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show, the International Bowhunting Organization (IBO) will not be attending the event.
The PA-3D Bowhunter's Challenge and IBO Indoor Nationals will take place as previously advertised, albeit without IBO representation. The local PA-3D Bowhunters organization has opted to host and oversee the shooting event on its own. The logistics involved in administering the competition, along with registered participants' concerns with travel plans and airline reservations, are contributing factors for the decision to continue these events.
Proceeds received by the IBO in shooter fees, along with the Rinehart Target Fee, will be donated to the National Rifle Association specifically to fight the threats to The Second Amendment currently being faced by law-abiding American firearms owners.
The IBO stands with those who have chosen to boycott the Eastern Sports and Outdoor show and strongly condemns the action taken by Reed Exhibitions.
We will not stand idly and tolerate the ignorance of political correctness in the face of the truth.
For years hunters have sometimes sniped at each other or failed to support one group that uses a specific hunting weapon or tactic. Seeing the IBO's support of the Second Amendment and donation of proceeds from the 3D tournament to the National Rifle Association is a strong statement.
This blog includes a list of those who have withdrawn from the show: Click here
Here is the initial report posted by DDH.com last night:
by Keri Butt
Hordes of hunting industry manufacturers and TV personalities are thumbing their noses at a one of the country's largest sports show promoters because the event is taking a hard stance on, among other things, modern sporting rifles.
The promoters of the popular Harrisburg outdoor show announced late last week they would not allow certain firearms to be displayed at the event in early February. Manufacturers and hunting industry celebrities took this as a pointed message against the Second Amendment. As a result, manufacturers and TV personalities are now boycotting the show and are urging consumers to do the same.
By boycotting the show, the manufacturers and seminar speakers will be walking away from a significant portion of their annual incomes.
The Background
Reed Exhibitions, owner of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, issued this press release on Jan. 17:
"The Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show is a unique celebration of the authentic hunting and fishing traditions that are cherished by millions of Americans and their families.
"We are proud to celebrate these pastimes by featuring 1,200 exhibitors offering a diverse range of products from outfitters to fishing boats and RVs, from archery to art and from clothes to cabins.
"As a hunting-focused event, we welcome exhibitors who wish to showcase products and firearms that serve the traditional needs of the sport.
"Clearly, we strongly support the Second Amendment.
"However, this year we have made the decision not to include certain products that in the current climate may attract negative attention that would distract from the strong focus on hunting and fishing at this family-oriented event and possibly disrupt the broader positive experience of our guests.
"ESS is proud to participate in the preservation and promotion of the rich hunting and fishing tradition passed from generation to generation by American families."
TV Personalities Unite for Gun Owners
It's unsure if those responsible for this official announcement anticipated the swarm of negative media attention that enveloped them within a mere two days of issuing the release, when vendors and hunting's television personalities began pulling their names along with their credentials from the show's roster. More than likely, they did not.
Statement by Pat Reeve
Pat Reeve, co-host of Driven TV, along with his wife Nicole, spoke candidly with Deer and Deer Hunting earlier today:
"We don't feel like it was a good position to take on their part. I'm baffled at why they would take such an approach when their entire consumer base is comprised of hunters. Even more baffling is that they believe that those consumers would find their decision acceptable. We, along with everyone else who pulled out of the show, stand to lose a lot of money, but it's more important that we have to stand up for what we believe in. Nicole feels the exact same way.
"All of us (TV people) have banded together and are supporting each other in the decision to back out of the Eastern Sports Show. We all want and need to make the statement that we believe in our Second Amendment rights and will stand up for them no matter what.
Statement by Lee Lakosky
Lee and Tiffany Lakosky of The Crush TV show, made the tough decision to step out from the show's lineup as well. Lakosky also talked with Deer and Deer Hunting today:
"This was a hard decision, not because of the show and what they did, but that we won't have the opportunity to talk and shake hands with the fans that will be at the show," he said. "But, we can't support a show that doesn't completely support the Second Amendment."
Lee and Tiffany were at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas when they heard the news of the press release, but because of obvious time restrictions, weren't able to act immediately. "Right away when we heard, we figured we'd pull out of the show, but wanted to make sure we knew all the facts first. As soon as we learned what was happening, we made the choice not to go."
Lakosky also commented on the press release from the National Shooting Sports Foundation:
"I don't know why the NSSF would promote this ban just to please one vendor out of twelve hundred," he said. "Anyone who believes this isn't a big deal is wrong. It is a big deal because this is where it starts. There's a reason for the Second Amendment and we all need to band together and stand behind it."
Weishuhn Bows Out
Veteran hunter, writer and TV personality Larry Weishuhn of Texas announced he will not be attending and posted this on his Facebook account Sunday night:
A Personal Statement Regarding the Eastern Sports Show:
As someone who has been in the outdoor industry for many years and has long supported our gun rights both in words and deeds I am tremendously disappointed in Eastern Sports Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and their recent decision regarding firearms!
With many vendors, as well as outdoor celebrities and speakers deciding not to be at the Eastern Sports Show as they have done in years past in an act of unity to support all our gun rights, (because of the show's decision) it will be the attendees and the Harrisburg community which will be disappointed and hurt most by this action.
I humbly ask these people to be most understanding of my decision not to attend the Eastern Sports Show. My not attending is a personal decision based on my beliefs regarding firearm rights!
I do not personally own or use any of the "guns in question," but strongly support those who do!
I would ask each and everyone who loves our United States of America and our American outdoor way of life to pray for our beloved country. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
"Team Shockey" Also Says No
Jim and Eva Shockey released this statement:
"Due to recent decisions made by Reed Exhibitions regarding the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, Jim and Eva Shockey will not attend this year's event. We have carefully considered the feelings of our fans, customers and business partners in making this decision. We will miss seeing all of our friends who visit us in Harrisburg each year. Thank you for your support and understanding."
– Team Shockey
NSSF press release:
The National Shooting Sports Foundation strongly disagrees with the decision of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show's management to disallow the display and sale of Modern Sporting Rifles at its 2013 exhibition. In our discussions with Reed Exhibitions, we have made this very clear. While assuring us that all legally available firearms will be welcome at future Eastern Sports and Outdoor Shows, it was explained that this unfortunate decision was made in response to the planned actions of a single retailer that would have drawn significant unwelcomed media coverage at a time when firearms ownership is being assailed in the media. It is important to note that this year's show will continue to feature a wide variety of firearms. However . . .
It would be unfair to penalize the 1,200 exhibitors or the some 200,000 sportsmen and women who will attend the show by discouraging participation at a time when the hunting and shooting sports community needs to be united in the face of political challenges. We urge industry exhibitors and attendees to participate in the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show as planned and encourage attendees to visit the Reed Exhibitions booth at the show to share their concerns and to then enjoy the show.
The NRA's Statement:
The National Rifle Association strongly disagrees with Reed Exhibitions' decision to ban Modern Sporting Rifles from the Eastern Sports Show in Harrisburg, PA, February 2-10. We encourage Reed Exhibitions to reconsider their position.
While this decision has come as a surprise and concern, we have made a commitment to our members in Pennsylvania and surrounding states and are eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to interact with as many as 250,000 fellow hunters and sportsmen. We encourage all attendees to stand and fight for the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens and not cower from our principles in the face of media pressure. We urge you to follow the NRA and the outdoor industry's lead by voicing your displeasure with Reed Exhibitions both before and during the show and encourage them to reconsider their position.
The NRA's future participation in the Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show will be determined by Reed Exhibitions actions in response to the concerns raised by the NRA, the outdoor industry, and America's law-abiding gun owners.
Contact Reed Exhibitions directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Public Agrees
The hunting community has gone crazy on social media sites over Reed Exhibition's decision. Comments like, "I attend the show every year, but won't be buying tickets this year," are being shared all over. One person stated, "I hope the place is a ghost town." Some say that even if they lift this ban next year, the damage is already done and they won't attend unless it comes under new management.
What in the Show's Future?
Any way you look at it, this is a media nightmare for the Reed Exhibition management.
Hunting TV personalities such as Ralph and Vicki Cianciarulo of Archer's Choice, and Fred and Michele Eichler of Muzzy products and owners of Full Draw Outfitters, have also opted not to make an appearance at the show. A growing list of vendors is also backing out, as they all stick together in order to make their point clear: Any type of infringement of our Second Amendment rights, rights that protect all other freedoms, will not be tolerated.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS/AP) - A solid offense, but a much better defense helped the South Carolina Gamecocks defeat the East Carolina Pirates.
A disruptive Jadeveon Clowney and a strong defensive line forced the Pirates to set sail with a 10-48 loss.
Picks and interceptions were some of the key elements to the victory over East Carolina, but you can't get the wheels moving without a good driver, and Dylan Thompson proved to Gamecock fans that his license is valid.
East Carolina gained 403 yards. But the Pirates turned the ball over five times, including four interceptions and a fumble in just 16 plays.
High expectations were on one of the nation's top running backs, Marcus Lattimore, to help carry ninth ranked South Carolina to a win in a non-conference contest against East Carolina, as Thompson replaced injured quarterback, Connor Shaw.
An early completion by Thompson set the pace of Saturday's game as the Gamecocks hit the field fired up and ready to take it to the zone.
After two incomplete passes, Thompson seemed confident at the starting QB spot with a connection to Damiere Byrd early in the game for 53 yards, helping set up Lattimore for his 33rd touchdown, tying the school record.
By the end of the 1st quarter, Gamecocks lead 14-0 with Thompson 7 of 11 passing for 200 yards with a touchdown.
Second quarter began with Thompson showing off his running skills, not quite Connor Shaw speed, but enough speed to get a 1st down. Mid second quarter Thompson threw a 30-yard touchdown to DeAngelo Smith stretching South Carolina's lead 21-0.
With just over a minute into the second half, Shaq Wilson would get his fifth pick of his career, while Thompson connected with D.L. Moore for a touchdown.
Thompson completed 21 of 37 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns
The rejuvenated passing game allowed Spurrier to use star running back Marcus Lattimore sparingly. He gained 40 yards on 13 carries to help South Carolina defeat East Carolina 48-10.
With the win, the Gamecocks improve to 2-0 on the season.

Following weeks of rumors, James Franco has been confirmed to star in an upcoming production of "Of Mice and Men" on Broadway.
The multitasking actor -- who lately has been devoting himself to directing, writing, the visual arts and a recent Comedy Central roast -- will co-star alongside Irish actor Chris O'Dowd in the production, which will begin performances on March 19.
Franco will play the role of George and O'Dowd will play his lumbering, mentally disabled friend Lennie -- two migrant laborers looking for work during the Great Depression. The play, which John Steinbeck adapted from his own novella, is a favorite among regional theaters and was last seen on Broadway in 1975, with James Earl Jones in the role of Lennie.
CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat
Anna D. Shapiro, who won a Tony Award for directing "August: Osage County," will stage the production at the Longacre Theatre in New York. The revival is expected to run through July 27.
"Of Mice and Men" will mark Franco's Broadway debut. The official opening date for the run is April 16.

Difference between revisions of "Mexico City/Coyoacán"
Revision as of 07:28, 6 January 2013
This relatively large area in the southwest of Mexico City has always been a counterculture hotbed. This is where Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera lived, a few blocks away from Leon Trotsky (their houses are now the Frida Kahlo Museum and the Leon Trotsky Museum, respectively), and the tranquil residential area, with parks, squares, and cobblestone streets, is now a favourite spot for the bohemia set.
Get in
By metro
Metro stations are not conveniently located to the Coyoacán center-- don't let the existence of a Coyoacán station (Line 3) fool you. Be prepared for at least a twenty minute walk from any of the nearest stations: Coyoacán, Viveros, and Miguel Ángel de Quevedo (all on Line 3). The neighborhood is safe, so you shouldn't have a problem if you decide to walk from the metro. You may also approach from General Anaya station (Line 2); take the Calle 20 de Agosto exit for a picturesque twenty minute walk to the Frida Kahlo and Leon Trotsky museums.
By Microbus
If you don't fancy a 20 minute walk from Metro Coyoacan to the main square Plaza Hidalgo, you can take a microbus also known as a Pesero. These are the small green and grey busses that can be seen breaking road rules all over the city. As you leave either exit of Metro Coyoacan, cross the to the other side of the large road directly outside the metro (Av Universidad). Peseros will stop outside all metro stations, and all display their destinations in the front windscreen. Look for a sign saying Plaza Hidalgo, or ask the driver.
The small neighborhood around the Anahuacalli has several nice cafes and a quiet charm; it is popular with university students and creative bohemian types.
In the rough center of Coyoacán there is a pair of large squares, Plaza Hidalgo and Jardín Centenario, which are the center for a lot of the activity in the area. On Saturdays and Sundays, there's an open-air market in the squares, mostly focusing on arts and crafts, clothes (a lot of tie-dye and t-shirts), piercings and tattoos. With a bit of selectivity, and some haggling, you can pick up a lot of interesting things here, and none of them are horribly touristy or tacky. There are also impromptu African dance performances, Aztec dancers, fortune tellers, and lots more to see. The market square is surrounded by cafes and restaurants, as well as a small 16th century church and a small public library. In the smaller streets nearby are even more cafes and restaurants, as well as stores selling antiques, clothes, crafts, and so on.
Grab-a-bite places
There are not many hotels and hostels in Coyoacan, but do try the following:

"One of Microsoft's hottest new profit centers is a smartphone platform you've definitely heard of: Android. Google's Linux-based mobile operating system is a favorite target for Microsoft's patent attorneys, who are suing numerous Android vendors and just today announced that another manufacturer has agreed to write checks to Microsoft every time it ships an Android device. Microsoft's latest target is Wistron Corp., which has signed a patent agreement 'that provides broad coverage under Microsoft's patent portfolio for Wistron's tablets, mobile phones, e-readers and other consumer devices running the Android or Chrome platform', Microsoft announced." That's the reality we live in, folks. This is at least as criminal - if not more so - than Microsoft's monopoly abuse late last century. After the Nortel crap, it's completely left the black helicopter camp for me: Microsoft, Apple, and several others are working together to fight Android the only way they know how: with underhand mafia tactics. Absolutely sickening. Hey Anonymous, are you listening? YES I WENT THERE.

RE[4]: Patents are patents
by pantheraleo on Wed 6th Jul 2011 16:08 UTC in reply to "RE[3]: Patents are patents"
When a hardware patent is applied for a schematic. A very specific schematic is provided.
That's not always true. Hardware patents can as big of a hornet's nest as software patents when non-legit patents are granted. See IBM v. Sun Microsystems. IBM nearly put Sun out of business because of a bogus hardware patent on RISC processor technology that was so generic it basically said "If you make it simpler, it will go faster".
