I had the opportunity to speak with Robert Herjavec, entrepreneur and host of ABC's Shark Tank, to talk about the newly released documentary film Small Business Revolution (#SmallBusinessRevolution) and what it takes to be a successful small business owner in the global digital age. The documentary profiles 100 small businesses around the country and really gets into the essence of what makes these individuals successful.
Continue Reading Below
Herjavec's passion for the project comes from his belief that small businesses are "the fiber of local communities" in this country. He notes that part of the success of Shark Tank is that "we have tapped into our ability as a society to not accept the status quo" and the small business owners profiled in this film really demonstrate that. Herjavec is excited about the evolving trend that "young people think it's not only acceptable, but cool to start a business."
Defining Success
According to Herjavec the measure of success is different for everyone. He notes that "before you have a purpose you have to eat" and these small business owners understand this. You can have passion but without opportunity you won't likely succeed. He explains that "success doesn't see color, gender, race, or size. It's a benchmark you set for yourself."
Nobody likes to lose. We all hate failure and entrepreneurs are no different. What sets entrepreneurs apart is their incredible resilience in the aftermath of failure. Herjavec defines resilience "as the ability to absorb failure" and move forward. Failure is an inevitable part of the learning curve in business. The fact is you always have to be excited about tomorrow.
Leading People
"Hiring your first employee is incredibly dramatic because you are doubling the size of your company" explains Herjavec. To make matters more stressful, you also have to give up a lot of what you spent your time doing and be ready to hand it over to someone else and back away. This is why hiring the right people really matters.
One of the mistakes he often sees in small business start-ups is too much reliance on the hiring of friends. Although it may seem comfortable and convenient at the time it can often come back to haunt you. The fact is you have to find people who get you, but also have the competence and drive to get the job done. Then, of course, you have to be prepared to lead them.
When it comes to leading those people Herjavec believes paranoia is good, but fear is bad. In other words, you have to be vigilant about the environment you operate in and unafraid of tackling the challenges ahead. As Herjavec explains "it's difficult to be a great leader when you live in constant fear." You have to be ready to step up to challenge even in the toughest of times.
At the end of the day for Herjavec "there is nothing more satisfying than getting a group of people to move in the same direction."

Renaming songs in WMP
I ripped a CD to my HD and it mixed up the tracks and the track names, so all are out of sync by two positions.
I renamed all the songs correctly but when I play them with VLC or WMP the music plays the correct song but the names remain the same.
How can I get the names to appear as per the song being played?

try renaming them in mp3tag, the tags are being read in the player despite the file names being different. if you use winamp you can easily change the tags automatically then use mp3 tag to change the tags to filename .saving ages of typing.
Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...)
if you go the winamp route then i can tell you how to go about changing the tags

The DNC chair isn't the first Democrat to defend payday lenders. A handful of House Financial Services Committee members consistently join the GOP's payday loan boosterism. But support from such backbenchers has been politically impotent. Wasserman Schultz, by contrast, is the nominal head of the Democratic Party. Her support undercuts efforts by liberals in Congress to draw contrasts with Republicans on economic issues.
The misleadingly titled Consumer Protection and Choice Act would delay the CFPB's payday lending rules by two years, and nullify its rules in any state with a payday lending law like the one adopted in Florida. The memo being passed around by Wasserman Schultz staffers describes the Florida state law as a "model" for consumer laws on payday loans, and says the CFPB should "adjust their payday lending rules to take into account actions Florida has already taken."
Consumer groups are appalled by the bill. The Consumer Federation of America, the NAACP, The National Consumer Law Center, The National Council of La Raza, The Southern Poverty Law Center and hundreds of others wrote a letter to every member of Congress in December urging them to oppose the legislation.

One of the dominant impulses of many Antifederalists was the fear of aristocratic rule. The Constitution, by centralizing authority and containing the right to enforce that authority, appeared to these Antifederalists to be a vehicle for exploiting the "low-born."The following satiric essay was indicative of these fears, but also exhibited the liberal freedom of expression that individuals enjoyed in that era. Written by the anonymous "JOHN HUMBLE," it appeared in the [ Philadelphia] Independent Gazetteer, October 29, 1787, and is reprinted in McMaster and Stone, pp. 173-75.
The humble address of the low-born of the United States of America, to their fellow slaves scattered throughout the world--greeting:
Whereas it hath been represented unto us that a most dreadful disease hath for these five years last past infected, preyed upon and almost ruined the government and people of this our country; and of this malady we ourselves have had perfect demonstration, not mentally, but bodily, through every one of the five senses. For although our sensations in regard to the mind be not just so nice as those of the well born, yet our feeling, through the medium of the plow, the hoe and the grubbing ax, is as acute as any nobleman's in the world. And, whereas, a number of skillful physicians having met together at Philadelphia last summer, for the purpose of exploring, and, if possible, removing the cause of this direful disease, have, through the assistance of John Adams, Esq., in the profundity of their great political knowledge, found out and discovered that nothing but a new government, consisting of three different branches, namely, king, lords, and commons-- or, in the American language, President,, Senate and Representatives--can save this, our country, from inevitable destruction. And, whereas, it has been reported that several of our low-born brethren have had the horrid audacity to think for themselves in regard to this new system of government, and, dreadful thought! have wickedly begun to doubt concerning the perfection of this evangelical constitution, which our political doctors have declared to be a panacea, which (by inspiration) they know will infallibly heal every distemper in the confederation, and finally terminate in the salvation of America.
Now we the low born, that is, all the people of the United States, except 600 thereabouts, well born, do by this our humble address, declare and most solemnly engage, that we will allow and admit the said 600 well born, immediately to establish and confirm this most noble, most excellent and truly divine constitution. And we further declare that without any equivocation or mental reservation whatever we will support and maintain the same according to the best of our power, and after the manner and custom of all other slaves in foreign countries, namely by the sweat and toil of our body. Nor will we at any future period of time ever attempt to complain of this our royal government, let the consequences be what they may.

Is facial hair looked down upon in Japanese Society?
I've watched a lot of anime, and I've realized that most of the male never grow facial hair or have to shave, especially in Slice of Life anime. So, is facial hair looked down upon in Japanese Society, or is it that beards are just tough to design, or is it that Japanese men don't really have a lot of facial hair?
He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.
It's not looked down, it's that the majority prefer flower boys. Plus most Asians in general don't grow a lot of facial hair.
the only time i ever really notice facial hair showing up in anime or manga is when its a mature fully grown man or when its a really really really old man lol but now that you mention it you never really see teenagers drawn in anime or manga with facial hair. i assume the main reason is maybe the dress code of schools over there requires you to be clean shaven perhaps? :/ even when you do see men with facial hair its normally just a goatee never a full on beard. wonder what they would do if the men of duck dynasty ever showed up in japan :p lol
At least when you hit bottom there is no where else to go but up again
I think that maybe Japanese guys just aren't as hairy as the guys you know, especially as teenagers. Also, it's anime, so they leave stuff out. It's not like you see the girls shaving their armpits in anime either.
The same thing we do every night, Pinky...
In my birth country, we consider facial hair as a bad thing; men with facial hair is perceived as someone who is like a thug or criminal. (When I say "we" I don't mean 100% of people over there think like this, I mean the general conformists and standards in that particular country).
Teachers or doctors (over there) generally do not have facial hair until they are around 50 years old or over.
In Western Society, it is a lot more acceptable for men to have (groomed) facial hair... even in a profession such as teachers or doctors...
I find this contrast rather interesting.
I'm assuming over in Japan, it's probably the same thing, they probably perceive facial hair on men as equivalent to someone who's in the Yakuza or something like that.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
Lol, I thought that they just didn't grow facial hair. Like it wasn't in their genetics or something. I can't recall ever meeting an Asian male with facial hair. Their skin is so smooth looking.
Now that I think about it you don't see it appear much in anime, especially on younger boys. I recall Harima from School Rumble having facial hair, but as far as young guys go that's it.
Now give me your peaches you little toad.
you wouldn't believe your pants, if ten million fire ants
younger guys (35ish below) tend to be clean shaven, (though some might have a goatee, or some pretty groomed facial hair, generally not beards for sure)
33+ may have facial hair more often
and.. maybe 50+ it's a even more likely.
But the majority do usually shave.. it's more a grooming thing than not being able to.. and employers tend to like/prefer clean shaven guys.
dA:used-rugs_______pixiv id=683696
this is an old post but still I'm Japanese and Native American and i have a lot of facial hair. That's just like saying Native Americans don't get it. we do it's just like berrie said is more of a grooming type thing.
I get the feeling that Japanese...And Easte-Asian society (and some other Asians) prefer the pretty boy look.
A look which I dislike a lot, mind you. I like my men manly
1% evil. 99% fangirl.
I have seen some anime where the "older brother" or that 20-30 year old hot shot drunk has a goatee but I would think that that japanese value a clean and honorable image and that would be why it is more than likely culturally accepted to keep clean.
My beard disapproves of traps and eats them for breakfast.
Status Alert: This is a Status Message.
This the general view where I live.
But I'm ok with that.
It's probably because a large majority of anime male characters are pre-teens. Adult characters don't really have the potential to grow facial hair for some odd reason 0_0

Cohiba Black Cigar Review
Even people who have never seen or smoked a cigar have at least heard of the name Cohiba. It's kind of like the Coca Cola or Nike of the cigar world; you know what they do. I was interested in trying this smoke primarily for this reason. It looks like Cohiba is taking it up a notch with their Cohiba Black, a premier cigar line.
This cigar is the brainchild of Cigar Master Daniel Nunez, the President and CEO of General Cigar Co. The tobacco is aged at least three years in tercio (pine bark bales) and has an amazing flavor.
From the moment you set your eyes on the Cohiba Black, you realize how stunning it looks. The outer wrapper is dark black and the band is dark grey and black, which looks pretty classy.
This cigar had good draw, no relight was needed, and it had a nice light grey ash. All in all, this is a great stick that you can tell took some time to blend. The only thing I didn't like was that eventually I had nothing left to smoke.
I'd recommend this as a gift for a wedding party, graduation or maybe even a special birthday. This would be a good smoke to recommend to friends who know a bit about cigars and would appreciate the complexities. I would definitely buy this one again! Thank you for reading my Cohiba Black Cigar Review.

In one of the stranger plot twists in Hollywood, BitTorrent Inc., the technology company whose name was once synonymous in the creative community with Internet piracy, is now doing business with the film industry.
The San Francisco company is partnering with Cinedigm, a leading Los Angeles distributor of independent films across digital platforms, to promote its newest release, "Arthur Newman," starring Colin Firth and Emily Blunt.
Starting Monday, BitTorrent will help promote the film by inviting the 170 million users of its software — which helps facilitate the transfer of large data files — to watch the first seven minutes of the film prior to its theatrical release Friday.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
The technology firm in the last year has promoted documentaries and albums from groups such as Counting Crows, but the Cinedigm deal marks the first time that BitTorrent has helped market a Hollywood movie. The partnership underscores the company's efforts to shed its image as the pariah that was perceived as encouraging consumers to illegally download movies and TV shows.

In fact it reveals a fundamental unrecognised problem that lies at the very heart of Mathematics i.e. that its symbols cannot in fact be coherently understood in a static absolute fashion.
Rather the number system - and indeed all mathematical relationships - should be properly interpreted in an inherently dynamic manner reflecting the interaction of complementary aspects.
Now for some considerable time, I had been aware that we can define the natural number system in this complementary fashion (using Type 1 and Type 2 formulations that are the inverse of each other).
So again the (analytic) Type 1 aspect is defined as,
11, 21, 31, 41,………
Here the base ranges over the natural number sequence (with respect to the default dimensional value of 1).
What this means in fact is that number is viewed in a merely independent quantitative manner (as parts).
Thus 3 for example = 1 + 1 + 1 (with each unit a quantitative part of the total number)
The (holistic) Type 2 aspect by contrast is defined as,
11, 12, 13, 14,………
Here, in inverse fashion, the dimension ranges over the natural numbers (with respect to a default base value of 1).
The essence of this interpretation is that number is now viewed in an interdependent qualitative manner with respect to its relationship with other numbers.
To illustrate let us start with the default base number of 1. Now, we can keep relating this number with itself (without changing the quantitative value) by moving into "higher" dimensions.
So we start with the 1-dimensional line (with a quantitative value 1) Then we move to a 2-dimensional square (again with a quantitative value of 1). And continuing we can next move to a 3-dimensional cube (once more with an unchanged quantitative value of 1).
So - quite literally - while the base unit remains unchanged as 1, we keep moving into higher dimensions with respect to this unit. These dimensions are possible precisely because we keep using 1 in a related ordered fashion, where it can represent the length, breadth and height of the resulting 3 dimensional cube.
Now in conventional physical terms, we cannot go beyond 3 dimensions (as our very notion of space dimensions is greatly limited by conventional quantitative notions of measurement).
However there is a deeper more fundamental meaning of dimension here which can indeed be extended indefinitely.
Imagine I make the statement. "There are 3 cars in the (same) car park".
This can be treated in the conventional Type 1 manner, where each unit is then defined in an independent manner.
So 3 = 1 + 1 + 1.
Imagine I now make the following statement "There is one car in three (different) car parks.
In conventional mathematical terms, this would be treated in exactly the same manner
i.e. 3 = 1 + 1 + 1.
However, in truth a very subtle change has taken place involving the shifting with respect to complementary reference frames.
In other words to add the 3 items in this case (recognising each as a component of a total number of cars) we have to establish the commonality, through relationship, of each of the three cars that lie in different car parks.
Now in the first case, this commonality (or interdependence) is implicitly provided through the recognition that the 3 cars are in the "same" car park. In this way we are then able to view each car in a - relatively - independent manner.
However in the second case, because the 3 independent units are in separate classes (i.e. car parks) we would not be able to recognise their common membership (of a group) without the holistic recognition of each unit as a whole.
So this is the crucial difference! In the 1st case we looked at each unit as a part. However in the 2nd case we must now look on each unit as an intrinsic whole (in its own right).
Now it is true that once we have established these units as wholes that we can again add each unit to obtain a total of 3.
However properly speaking ,we must now express this in terms of the Type 2 system.
So if we initially arrive at the total of 3 in Type 1 terms through the addition of parts (i.e. 31 = 11 + 11 + 11), then in relative terms, we must arrive at the total of 3 (with respect to the 2nd case) in Type 2 terms through the multiplication of parts.
So 13 = 11 * 11 * 11 .
However this latter expression can equally be shown as the addition of wholes (with respect to the dimensional number)
i.e. 13 = 11 + 1 + 1 .
Therefore what represents addition in Type 1 terms (with respect to parts) equally represents addition in Type 2 terms (with respect to wholes).
However what represents addition in Type 1 terms (with respect to parts) also, equally represents multiplication in Type 2 terms (with respect to parts).
So in truth number keeps switching - depending on context - as between a part and whole status. It is very much akin in this respect to the way in which sub-atomic matter can switch between particles and waves!
But in Conventional Mathematics, a merely quantitative interpretation of the nature of this relationship is possible (where wholes are reduced to parts).
It is not surprising that mathematicians realise that there is something fundamental missing from their appreciation of the relationship as between addition and multiplication.
However the implications of facing this are truly enormous, for as we have seen the basic paradigm on which Mathematics has been built for milennia clearly needs to be changed, whereby both analytic and holistic modes of interpretation (of equal importance) are fully recognised, that are clearly understood to dynamically interact in complementary fashion with each other.

I know that it's been a while since I put up anything new here. Life has kept me so very busy. I finally decided that I needed to take a break from just about everything and concentrate on only the very basics for a while.
Fall and winter are exptremely busy times for me as I not only design and create truly one-of-a-kind jewelry but I also teach the English language to young (and older) Greeks who have a need to learn the language and want to do so properly. This year I currently have 8 students ranging in age from 9 years old to 40 years old, all of whom require at least 3 hours per week of private lessons and the older one 4-5 hours per week -- and all after 3 in the afternoon. This means that my girls are in classes in the mornings and I work evenings. Tlak about lack of family time. But since learning 2 and often 3 foreign languages is something that is a must here and they are not taught in schools properly, people must take lessons in the afternoons and evenings. So my 'work' day begins when school lets out at 2:30 in the afternoon for highschoolers and 12:30pm for gradeschoolers. It's now exam time and I'm busier than ever preparing a couple of my students to sit for thier Internationally recognized ESL exams at the Lower or First Certificate level. This is the minimum level that is required to obtain or even be considered for a job of any type here. Fortuantely, both of them will pass as I never ever let a student sit for the exam unless I am sure that they are 100% ready and will pass becasue they are very expensive and if a young student doesn't pass, the psychological fallout is too great to risk it. Most parents think that the passage of these exams on the first attempt at a very young age is a must and exert tremendous pressure upon their children.
Hopefully, things will settle down and I can get back to what I like doing best. Creating new and beautiful peices of jewelry and sharing them with all of my friends.

Applying for the Revenue Canada disability tax credit certificate was something I did to help our friends' parents who paid more than they needed to.
When someone doesn't know how to do something they normally do research or call in the professionals to help them.
Often you hear stories about how people were taken advantage of or how they paid far too much for a service they could have easily done themselves.
Over-priced services
My friends' mother had not realized that she could claim disability tax credits until it was mentioned to her by her daughter. She wanted to claim for the 10 years previous so she could claim at least some of the money she had over-paid the government while working and looking after her very ill husband.
Her mother had already tried accessing disability tax credits through a company that advertised online and charged her $1300 for the service to no avail.
It reminded me of the time when my wife and I were filling out the immigration forms to become a permanent resident in Canada. You could hire a representative to complete the forms which you would need to obviously assist with.
All they really do is fill out the forms and read the instructions so if you can use a pen, use a computer and print you can do it yourself. It's the same thing with the disability tax credits application process. I think that people get too overwhelmed when it comes to government forms but they are pretty straightforward.
In the case of applying for the disability tax credits through my research Revenue Canada is telling you what they want in terms of information and you give it to them.
The hired company charged her to fill out representative forms and fill out the T2201 form for a few of the years and billed her $1300. This bill is ridiculous in terms of costs of the work completed but it did completed the process even at an exorbitant amount.
Not everyone in this world is here to help people as there are unscrupulous companies and individuals that are lurking in the background ready to pounce and whisk your hard earned money away.
Then again they are there to make money so if you don't do research then be prepared to pay the big bucks for something you can do for the cost of a stamp.
Her next port of call was a much more established tax centre in her city that talked her through the process and filled all the forms out for her. This service cost $329 but this time the disability tax credits were applied to her taxes for the remainder of the years.
The costs were for the same service of being a representative and filling out forms that you could easily do yourself. Cheaper, yes but again more than you needed to pay.
How I helped them apply for disability tax credits
All this happened 2 years ago but I was asked to go through this process because it was time for her mother to re-apply for her husband's last 2 years worth of disability tax credits to be applied.
I'm not a tax professional and I'm not writing this post to say this is the way it's done as a rule. This is the way we performed the process with a little guidance and research and I'm letting you know how we went about it.
I helped them because I was curious about this disability tax credit and so I started to do some research for them. It turns out I taught them how to save money in their budget instead of spending more than they will ever have to again when they apply.
The main applicant would be the husband in which tax credits would be applied to any income he has. If there is no income left to apply the tax credits against then any remaining tax credits would go to the wife.
As I understand she can receive the tax credits because she is a caregiver to her husband who can't work. I did not see the original T2201 form so I cannot confirm or deny that this the reason for her tax credits. Only the doctor and the government would know.
The process
So, the process of claiming disability tax credits goes like this:
- You need to print off or fill in form T2201 from the Canadian Revenue Agency. Fill in your details and any other information that it requires from you.
- Take the form to your doctor who will then fill in the appropriate parts that they need to.
- Send the form to your tax office that deals with disability tax credits. In our case, her mother had to post hers to Winnipeg. You are currently applying for the disability tax credit certificate which you will then use to apply the credits to your taxes.
- Wait, they will send you notification that the disability tax credit certificate is successful or not.
- If successful, you can then apply to get the disability tax credits applied to your current taxes or back taxes. As far as I know, you can go back up to 10 years and apply the disability tax credits to taxes filed then.
- To apply the disability tax credits, you now need to write a letter or fill in T1 Adjustment forms for each tax year. I went down the letter writing route as suggested by the lovely lady I spoke to from revenue Canada. I was told to be repetitive and redundant in writing the letter to eliminate any chance of mis-understanding between what we had been told and what the person receiving the letter read. Anything you don't understand they will tell you if you make the simple phone call.
Here is a sample letter for applying for your disability tax credits similar to what I wrote:
Address line 1
Address line 2
Tax centre
Address line 1
Address line 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
I (Name) (Social Insurance Number) would like to apply my approved disability tax credits towards my (Year) taxes. If I cannot make maximum use of the disability tax credits on my taxes, can you please apply them to my (husband or wife) (Name) (Social Insurance Number) taxes of the same year(s).
Yours Sincerely,
Name (First and Last)
The results
If the disability tax credits are to be applied against a number of years because you are claiming for previous years you could abbreviate the years to 2005 – 2013.
Personally I wrote the letter according to the rules given to me over the phone from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). I listed each year separately which sounds a little monotonous but it certainly seemed to work in our favour. There was no possibility of reading the instructions incorrectly.
My understanding of the process and forms led to her receiving her disability tax credits with no issues which isn't bad for just doing a bit of research. Take your time and phone the CRA as they were a great help.
When you receive the disability tax credits cheque in the post there will be some paperwork that accompanies it. Don't throw this paperwork away thinking you are all finished.
There will be a line on the paperwork stating how much interest you earned over the period if you applied for previous tax years to be re-calculated.
This interest is considered as taxable income and will need to be entered in on your taxes for the year it states in the sentence.
She was so happy and we will apply again for next years disability tax credits in the same manner. This time however I will simply review what they do since she knows how to apply for the disability tax credits on their own.

The grand total bill was a Canadian permanent stamp, an envelope and a sheet of paper. If you are applying for disability tax credits for the first time you will probably get charged $20 – $40 from your doctor to fill out the T2201 form needed for the disability tax credit certificate application.
I would be wary of those companies advertising online promising that they can get you up to $40,000 in disability tax credits as they will charge you an extortionate rate to go through a process you can easily complete yourself.
If you feel that your situation is too complex call the CRA and talk to them and let them know your situation. They will walk you through the process like they did when I made the phone call to learn about applying for the disability tax credit.

The story of a grieving mother and her unborn child
When Megan miscarries her first pregnancy it feels like the end of everything; instead it's the start of a curious relationship between the grieving mother and an unborn child who hovers somewhere between ghost and angel. Angela, Megan's "little angel" has character and dreams all her own, friends who may or may not be real angels, and a little brother who brings hope to her mother's world. But Angela's dream-world has a secret and one day Angela might learn how to be real.

Although this photo might look like a screengrab from a dystopian video game, or a made-for-TV zombie film, it's actually taken in the middle of a bustling city in the UK.
Mansfield General hospital, Nottinghamshire, opened for business in 1890, but after 102 years of service it shut down in 1992. Although the site was sold off successfully, nothing ever came of it, and the building was demolished late last year.
But before it was razed, an urban explorer snuck in and found this old x-ray machine lying abandoned.

Protest at Andhra Bhavan against assault on employeeJuly 22nd, 2011 - 7:46 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, July 22 (IANS) Around 100 employees of the Andhra Pradesh Bhavan here Friday staged an angry demonstration on the premises to protest the assault on a staffer by a Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader.
"We staged a dharna (sit-in) on the premises of Andhra Pradesh Bhavan and demanded the security of employees of the Bhavan be stepped up. We also made an oral submission of the demands to Resident Commissioner Rajat Bhargava," said one of the agitating employees.
"We have been assured a meeting with Telangana ministers. The issue on Telangana is between the central and state government but why are we being attacked?" said another employee.
In an incident Wednesday TRS party chief K. Chandrashekhar Rao's nephew Harish Rao and some party leaders went to Andhra Bhavan to keep the body of Telangana activist M. Yadi Reddy for public tributes there. But they were disallowed to do so. Yadi reddy, a young man in his 30s, hanged himself from a tree near India Gate to protest the delay in granting Telangana statehood.
In the full glare of media, Harish Rao slapped a Bhavan official, who said he was only acting on the directions of the state government resident commissioner.

Is there still an issue with using IDE/Pata devices?
I have a computer with all sata connections and have a brand new ide/pata HDD, I found laying around. I was going to get an adapter and install the HDD. I have read that people were having problems getting Windows 7 to recognize the device. I couldn't find a clear answer to anyone's problem with IDE drive being recognized. Is this still a problem?

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
As far as I have experienced this has been an old wives tale, I'm using an old PATA WD HDD as my primary with W7U on it and it works ok...aside from the un-nerving noise it makes.
This might help.

W7 Home Premium 32bit
Among my many home-builds and individual clients, there are eight pata drives working fine in sata ports with adapters.
You should not have a problem. BUT, there are caveats.
Buy the adapter only from Newegg or Amazon.
Make sure the adapter takes you from pata-to-sata.
Most of these adapters are NOT bi-directional; most of them take a sata drive to an IDE connection only (just the one way). Be careful.

As far as abstract algebra is concerned, I would focus on elementary group theory: basic properties, the isomorphism theorems and standard examples (finitely generated abelian groups, permutation groups, the dihedral group). That's not a lot of material but you want to understand it really really well. Artin is a great resource for this, but any other comprehensive algebra book should be fine too. (Why bother studying at all if you are not going to learn it well enough to use it on the GRE?)
You also want to know what rings and fields are, but you don't need to know much about them. I found that the GRE questions involving rings and fields could be answered straight from the definitions. (Though it might help to have a bit of practice proving simple statements about algebraic structures.)
I personally would not study topology for the GRE unless I had everything else down cold. Put your effort where you expect the highest pay-off per study time. Working through an entire topology book for 1-2 questions on the GRE is probably not a good use of your time.

Best of Another Round: 39 photos from our DIY neighborhood pub crawls
Orlando is ripe with delicious eats and tempting drinks, but sometimes the high-quality stuff can put a major dent in your wallet. We prefer that you save your money for all the other awesome things that are happening in Orlando, so we searched out some great happy hours at some of our favorite haunts for you. You're welcome!
If you're a fan of craft beer and Southern food, Cask & Larder may have one of the best happy hours going in Orlando right now. Wednesday through Friday from 3-6 p.m., you'll get $4 house-brewed beers and a special happy hour menu that changes daily. Recently spotted on the happy hour menu: $1 oysters and $2 ham biscuits.
In case you missed it in this week's Tip Jar, Fleming's Prime Steakhouse is offering a "5 for $6 'til 7 p.m." promotion – that is, five cocktails, five wines by the glass and five appetizers (pan-crisped pork belly and tenderloin carpaccio, for example) for $6 each until 7 p.m. nightly.
Over on the Millenia side of town, the Blue Martini offers a happy hour seven days a week from 4-8 p.m. You can expect half-price drinks and apps during the happy hour. Yes, this includes their mango mojitos ... and their baked Brie.
New (to Orlando) Darden chain Yard House is now open for business at I-Drive 360, and they've got a great happy hour going on already. House martinis are $6.50, and you'll spend from $7.50 to $10.50 on a yard of beer. Yes, a yard of beer. To lay down a foundation for that beer, Yard House'll give you half off select appetizers and pizzas, including the ahi sliders. Yes, please.
If you're in the I-Drive area of Orlando, you could hit up Morton's for their power hour. It happens daily from 5-6:30 p.m. and then again from 9 p.m. until they close their doors. You'll get $8 cocktails and "Mortinis" and apps that'll run you about $6 or $7. Our recommendation? Don't skip the mini crab cake BLTs.
And if you wanna skip the drinks and head straight to dessert, you can head on over to Bluebird Bake Shop the first Friday of every month for their cupcake happy hour.

Deletionism (noun deletionist) is a Wikipedian Philosophy advocating for deleting unpopular or famous stubs. Deletionists want Wikipedia to be similar to a paper Encyclopaedia. So, Wikipedia would have only a few, very long, articles.
Deletionism is quite irritating. They don't support whether or not the information on Wikipedia is valid, or can be expanded, they take the easy way out. They delete it rather than edit it!

Judging a Pre-Launch Game By Its Beta (Or At All)
Mark Jacobs notoriously talked a big game about how keeping a beta NDA up within a month of the product's launch is a vote of non-confidence in the product, only to keep Warhammer's NDA up until four weeks before the launch date. Today, four weeks is actually a comparatively generous amount of advance time for the closed beta NDA to be released. (Exception - Blizzard is still holding closed testing that remains in progress but free from an NDA for multiple months. Perhaps that's a quirk to their glacial development cycle?)
Instead, we see scheduled "beta events" which carefully manage what can be accessed by potential customers - or sometimes actual customers, since access to even these staged previews increasingly requires a non-refundable pre-purchase. From a marketing standpoint, these events are no doubt a huge success. Besides driving pre-sales, the limited and staged access fertilizes the grassroots, such that all the blogs are talking about the same parts of the same game at the same time for one weekend only. Meanwhile, all of the information that a customer would need to make an informed purchasing decision about the product remains sealed away for as long as possible.
I get what people are saying when they complain of feeling nigh persecuted for being overly enthusiastic about the upcoming hyped product. As gamers, their anticipation is perfectly natural. I think what we're seeing in this backlash is misplaced frustration on the part of each gamer that's also a consumer - trying to piece together enough information to tell whether to invest their time and money in a new product. As consumers, we're put in a position where it is all too easy to make the wrong call, whether it's purchasing an unfinished product, or, in the rare and fortunate case of MMOGC et al, in writing it off too soon.

The post by the blogger I linked to is actually a far better read than mine :P Like I said, I barely played the TSW beta and when I did it was practically last minute. On the other hand, he played the closed beta for a couple months so I think his reaction was stronger. I was however just struck by his earnest confession and his praise for the game, and hopefully those still on the fence who see it might give the game another chance to see its improvements.

You can judge by a Beta and a companies NDA, because it does say a lot about a game.
TSW kept up the NDA because it does have a lot of problems still. It's still very buggy, more so than a game which drops it's NDA six months or a year away from launch.
I also could not justify paying $15 a month on top of the box fee and adding a cash shop for TSW. It just felt greedy. Plus it didn't do a lot of innovating, just changed the story, setting, and went from a skill tree to a skill wheel. But not that innovative.
I will judge by Beta's, as they have always held true to launches. And I will judge by NDA's, as they do show the true confidence the developer has in their product. It's been true every time so far, and give it a few months and see what the hype is about TSW. Probably will be showing it's warts a lot more.

It's a lot to do with game saturation for me. When I was only playing WoW and was bored with it a beta seemed fascinating and I certainly bought into the pre-launch WoW and AOC hype. Now I have lots of real games to play I'm not interested in betas and don't really see them as strong evidence of a solid game.

The aspect of all this that really puzzles me is the angst going into what is really both a trivial decision (do I or don't I play this particular video game?) and a trivial financial outlay (typically less than a single evening out).
As I mentioned on my own blog the other day, I could get a year's subscription to TSW for the cost of a day and a half of my recent week's holiday in France. The cost of buying the game itself was less than we spent in petrol just driving from our house to the ferry port!
I understand that people don't want to waste money and I'm not advocating spending money you can't afford, but these are the kind of sums a socially active employed adult spends as a matter of course on other entertainments and activities that offer vastly worse time-to-cost ratios.
If it looks interesting, buy it and try it. If it turns out not as interesting as it looks, uninstall it and forget it. Is it any different to going to see a movie and hating it or going out for a meal and not enjoying it? These things happen all the time.
I'd much rather try as many things as I can in the hope they might be more interesting than I expected than sit back and wait in the hope that I can select only things that are perfect. That's never going to happen anyway. And experience tells me that I like far more things that I try than I dislike.
The only real restraining factor for me is lack of time. There just isn't enough to give everything, or even most things, a fair shot.

Why do months have different number of days?
Some months have 28 days, some 29 and so on to a maximum 31 days per month.

Only one month has 28 days, and it's the same month that has 29 days, and that's every four years, so it's not some months.

... i don't know the answer to your actual question, but i think you should know that there has NEVER been a year where 1 month had 28 days and another has 29 days. February gains one day every 4 years because 1 revolution around the Sun takes 365 1/4 days, so in 4 years, we are missing 1 day, and it is placed in February... That's all i know. Hope I helped

The circumference of Earth is 24,901.55 miles at the equator, located at zero degrees latitude and the point at which the planet is the widest. The circumference measures the distance around Earth. Measured around the poles, the circumference is slightly smaller at 24,859.82 miles.
Due to the rotation of Earth, a slight bulge is present at the equator, known as the equatorial bulge. Earth is not, therefore, completely spherical but rather ellipsoid or geoid, meaning Earth-like, in shape. The diameter of the Earth varies as well. Measured at the equator, the diameter is about 7,926 miles. At the poles, the diameter is about 7,900 miles.

Part 3, Rose Hsu Jordan, "Without Wood" Summary
When she is a child, she believes everything her mother An-Mei says. Her mother talks to ghosts. She and her sisters sleep in the same bed, but Rose is always the last to go to sleep, or to see "Old Mr. Chou", the guardian of a door that opened into dreams. Her sisters do not dream, but Rose has bad dreams involving Mr. Chou.
Thirty years later An-Mei is still trying to make Rose listen to her. At a friend's funeral, she tells Rose she is getting too thin. Rose recognizes the pastor as Wing, a boy who used to steal baseball cards with her brother Luke. Wing went to seminary but Luke went to jail for selling stolen car stereos.

Ascari A10 specs
Top Speed: 220 mph / 354 km/h
0-60 mph: 2.8 seconds
Engine: 5 liter, V8 BMW M5 4941 cc 625HP
The Ascari A10 sports car, developed by British manufacturers and similar to the Spanish GT version, is rated in the top ten supercars for 2006. Its lightweight carbon fiber body of less than 3,000 pounds (1,361KG) is designed more for the racetrack than the road. There were only a few models of this fast car built, somewhere between 10 and 50, and although expensive, it promises incredible speed and power.
The power of the Ascari A10 comes from the modified BMW 5.0 liter V-8 engine, with the standard six-speed sequential transaxle, where the gearshifts operate as paddles, similar to other race cars. Additions and modifications to the engine, however, include cams with advanced timing, new rods, and pistons, as well as a dry sump lubrication system. It has the same steel sub-frame for the power train and rear suspension as the KZ1 sports car, but the height of the coil spring units can be adjusted hydraulically on front and rear. This is a unique feature, not found on most other supercars, where adjustments can only be made manually. Handling should be easier than before, with front and rear anti-roll bars installed, which are also adjustable. The builders of the A10, not to be outdone by their competitors and to ensure adequate braking at such high speeds, have installed ventilated ceramic disc brakes, with 6-pot calipers on the front and 4-pot calipers on the rear.

Depart From Me For I Am A Sinful Man!How many see themselves as such a sinful person that any good that comes your way, you immediately want to draw away from that one doing you good. "I am not worthy!" "I have too many things I've done wrong in my life to deserve ANY good!"
Such was the feeling expressed by one fisherman named Peter.
Luke 5:4-8 (NKJV)Peter had worked hard all night and caught nothing! We try and try to make new friends, to go to church. We read our bibles, pay our tithes, visit the sick and the homeless, and for what? We still feel as if nothing has been accomplished. Our lives are just as empty as before. We feel we are cups with no bottom, pots with holes, broken and leaking vessels that cannot contain anything worthwhile.
When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, " Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net." 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"
So was this fisherman's existence. No matter how hard he worked, nothing came from his efforts. In this case, Peter had worked all night. When Jesus asked him to put out to the deep and let his nets down for a catch, his initial reaction...NO! But then, for a reason he himself did not understand, he did as was suggested to him. As he did this, what he could not do in the night, he was able to do in the day. What was the difference? One at night and one in the day. Was that the only difference? No! The real difference was when he worked by his own strength, according to his own direction, to do those things that seemed right to him, this brought unfruitfulness. It was at Jesus' word, in accordance to obedience to that word, that brought a fruitfulness he never had before.
Immediately, this man of constant failure realized there was One greater than him with him and he saw his sinfulness and became ashamed.
Brethren, throughout our lives, we have been taught and trained, to rely upon no one, to trust no one but to do it ourselves. If we wanted to accomplish anything, then it is up to us. Woe to the man or woman who does not make the "proper" attempt to do what is right in their own eyes. Society frowns upon the unmotivated, the failures, the outcasts, the rejected or those who have the appearance of such.
We accepted this, our lot in life and plod on in trying to do what we think is right, trying to please man or God according to what we perceive as their requirement. THIS is like Peter, working in the DARK and getting nothing for his efforts.
And yet, the solution steps into his boat and asks him to try again. Wearied by his many unsuccessful, laborious and frustratingly unfruitful attempts, he nearly rejects this Man too but at the last moment, decides, what can one more try hurt. He has done this dozens of times so if by one more try nothing happens, it will prove that God does not favor him, which he had already concluded.
Yet this time, his efforts were not rewarded with another failure but a bountifulness he never experienced overwhelmed him. With this, the light finally dawned in his mind and his heart, "I am a sinful man!"
What happened to this man that caused him to see the sinfulness of his own heart? No one told him he was sinful. The only thing that happened was that Jesus stepped into his boat, told him to try again and on Jesus' word alone, he found a truth about himself that he never considered before. All his efforts, all his works came from him and not from Jesus. For the first time in his life of fruitless labor, Peter saw that the reason he could not find the satisfaction of success was because "he" had been trying in his own strength and not according to God's direction.
The lesson for us all in this story is to show us that although we may try and try and try to do what is right, as long as what we do is according to OUR direction in OUR strength, we will be as Peter, tired, discouraged, hopeless. Yet when Jesus tells us, gives us His instructions, what we were not able to do before, suddenly becomes fruitful. The LONE difference lies in that fact that until we receive the Word of The Lord from The Lord HImself, we will not find success. LIFE comes only from God and to those who seek His face and will not move until they hear from Him.
God promises in His word that not a single word of His will return to Him without accomplishing what He intended. When God speaks, it happens. When we speak, it does not happen. Yes, it IS as simple as that!
Isaiah 55:11 (ESV)The result of this?
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:12 (ESV)
"For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Night Watch / Tom Scanlon
'Happy Death Day' with Jason Webley
Have you ever dared yourself to spend half a night in a cemetery? Or forced yourself to sit in that scary room — you know the one — with the lights out?
Have you ever followed the procession behind Jason Webley, wondering where the heck you're going?
Webley is that accordion specialist and globe-trotting troubadour who is a weird — very weird — concoction, some sort of cross between Tom Waits, Big Bird, Edgar Allen Poe and Karen Finley.
Every year on Halloween week, Seattle's oddest musician culminates a year of performances with a "death" concert.
When last we checked in with him, he was naked, tied to a tree — the coup de ghoul of his Halloween '02 performance, which started at the University District's Paradox Theatre (R.I.P.), and ended deep in the Ravenna woods. Typically, the finish of his fall shows are really just the beginning; when the music and story-telling ends, his crowd of fans/disciples follow him in a procession, until he stops somewhere (the location divulged to only a select few beforehand) and does death-oriented performance art.
"Happy Death Day" is the theme-in-progress for Webley 2003. Taking quite a financial risk, Webley has rented the spacious Town Hall — 1119 Eighth Ave. — for an all-ages concert Saturday (8 p.m., $9). He will be joined on stage by a dozen other performers: strings, brass, horns, puppeteers, dancers.
Where will he lead his followers, after this Pill Hill show? Webley is tight-lipped about that, as he is about many things, reveling in the cryptic, the ambiguous, the mysterious.
As for the concert itself, this will be by far his largest Seattle show, and he has built expectations with his increasingly over-the-top shows; yet he says he tries not to try to top himself. "That's a bad game to get into. What I try to be is responsive to what's going on inside me.
"Bigness can work against you in a lot of ways."
On one of his increasingly rare stints in Seattle, Webley strode up University Way in the University District the other evening, light brown hair flowing out from under a fedora, past his spindly shoulders.
For much of the year, Webley has been a solo artist, traipsing around the world. He spent two weeks in Russia, then hit Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium before England's massive Glastonbury Festival. Then he came back here to perform at the Oregon County Fair. And then Burning Man. And then the Fez and CBGB, in his first Manhattan performances.
"I'm in another world almost every day."
For all of his tomfoolery, his odd fascination with carrots and feathers, his habit of interrupting concerts to read children's stories, masks and singalongs, for all this and more, it is sometimes easy to forget that this curiosity is one of Seattle's most talented musicians, a singer-songwriter with a rare gift for crafting timeless songs that approach Waits and Leonard Cohen territory.
Webley says he will be performing some of the 12 new songs that he debuted at a spring performance, and perhaps a few other songs that have yet to be heard by the public. While he is one of those people the word "impromptu" was invented for, this big-band show will likely have him in one of his most structured environments.
"When I play alone, I end up talking a lot," he admits, pausing from an Indian food feast in the U District.
Wearing a green T-shirt with a carrot (of course) on it under a trench coat, he looks like an art student, or perhaps a theater student. Which, by the way, is what he was a few years ago — studying theater and music at the UW.
Asked if that joint education has contributed to his highly theatric musical career, he answers, sardonically and mysteriously, as is his wont, "I think I'm doing what I'm doing in spite of that."
He loves to travel, experience new worlds and meet new people in new cultures. Yet he has no plans to leave the Northwest, home: "This place is in my blood."
For more, check out the Web site (www.jasonwebley.com).
• The far-more-mainstream troubadour Pete Yorn plays the Crocodile on Saturday (10 p.m., $14).
• Carissa's Wierd, one of the quietest — and best — rock bands to come out of Seattle in recent years, is splitting up. ... This should be no surprise, considering CW's last album was called "Songs About Leaving." The Elliott Smith-meets-Cat Power act of Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto will sing farewell to their adoring fans with two shows at the Crocodile on Sunday, all-ages at 6 p.m., 21-and-over at 10 p.m. ($10).
• Former Candlebox crooner Kevin Martin sings from his solo album "The Possibility of Being" at the Crocodile on Tuesday (9 p.m., $18). The album is a peck of pickled power pop.

LOS ANGELES (March. 18, 2004)—National Geographic Feature Films is establishing a new specialty label: National Geographic World Films — "movies without borders" — to showcase great movies from around the world. The announcement was made today by Tim Kelly, president of National Geographic Television & Film (NGT&F) and Adam Leipzig, president of National Geographic Feature Films (NGFF). The new specialty label of National Geographic Feature Films reflects National Geographic's mission to bring films made by, and about, world cultures to a broader audience.
"Increasingly sophisticated feature films are being produced by and about diverse cultures around the world," said Kelly. "These are authentic, artistic and entertaining stories that National Geographic is committed to supporting. These movies deserve our attention."
For its inaugural film, National Geographic World Films joins THINKFilm in presenting THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL, it was announced by Jeff Sackman, THINKFilm CEO; Mark Urman, THINKFilm theatrical division head; and National Geographic's Kelly and Leipzig.
THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL, which enchanted audiences at the Toronto Film Festival and recently won the Jury Prize at the 21st annual Miami Film Festival, is directed by Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni. The movie, which explores an exotic culture where tradition, myth and family unity (both human and animal) are essential elements of daily life, follows the adventures of a family of Mongolian herders who face a crisis when a camel rejects her newborn, and only the miracle of an ancient ritual can bring mother and calf together.
The film employs a non-professional cast, who actually live the life and events of the story, and combines unstaged sequences with carefully prepared recreations of authentic experience, blending the best of fiction and documentary techniques. It will screen at the New Directors/New Film Series, presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art, on March 26 and 27 and will be released in the United States on June 4.
"When National Geographic came to us to co-present THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL, we were delighted. And when we talked to them about how their collaboration would benefit this film, we knew we had found the right partner to work with us on this unusual dramatic adventure," said Sackman.
"While we all know and love National Geographic, we discovered so much more than we expected. Its extensive resources and the synergies between multi-media divisions will provide a vast unexplored outreach for us and allow us to tap into new audiences for this unique film fable," added Urman.
Leipzig said, "When we saw THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL we were captivated by it. We decided that this was exactly the kind of personal filmmaking we wanted as the inaugural presentation of National Geographic World Films, and we wanted to join THINKFilm in bringing this unusual tale to the nation's screens."
In the star-driven slate of films on National Geographic Feature Films' docket, EMPEROR ZEHNDER, the true story of Bruno P. Zehnder who dedicated his life to photographing Emperor penguins in the Antarctic, starring Richard Gere, begins production fall 2004. Other NGFF projects in development are ON THE WING, adapted by Erik Jendresen from Alan Tennant's soon-to-be-published book and starring Robert Redford; ENDURANCE about Sir Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic exploration, to be directed by Wolfgang Petersen; and UNDAUNTED COURAGE, based on Stephen Ambrose's acclaimed book on the Lewis and Clark expedition. NGFF's first film, "K-19: THE WIDOWMAKER, was released July 2002.
Among THINKFilm's most recent acquisitions are Sundance Grand Prize-Winner PRIMER; FESTIVAL EXPRESS, which documents the 1970 "happening" that was Canada's answer to Woodstock; and Stephen Fry's star-studded comedy, BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS, which had its U.S. premiere in Sundance.
Following in the tradition of its Oscar-nominated, box-office-hit documentary SPELLBOUND, is Jonathan Demme's highly acclaimed film about Haiti, THE ARGONOMIST, which opens April 23. THINKFilm's next release, on March 12, WILBUR WANTS TO KILL HIMSELF is the English language debut of Lone Scherfig, the award-winning director of ITALIAN FOR BEGINNERS. WILBUR hits theaters on March 12.
Building on its global reputation for remarkable visuals and compelling stories, National Geographic augments its award-winning documentary productions (122 Emmy Awards and more than 800 other industry awards) with feature films, large-format films, and long-form television drama programming. Worldwide, National Geographic's television programming can be seen on the National Geographic Channel, MSNBC and PBS, home video and DVD, and through international broadcast syndication. The National Geographic Channel is received by more than 200 million households in 25 languages and 146 countries, including the United States.

THINKFilm is a privately held company with offices in Toronto and New York City. It was founded by President/CEO Jeff Sackman in September 2001.

Sunshine Homes invests in quality, and this shows across each model of home we offer to the public. Our business is based entirely around understanding, meeting, and even exceeding the lifestyle needs of our customers and only offering top-quality homes we can be proud of. We understand that we are building futures, not just putting roofs over heads.
Each one of our homes, regardless of model, is built using an agile and focused process. This is known as the "modular advantage" and sees each home built under controlled environments by a dedicated and professional team. Without weather getting in the way or different teams of tradesmen, quality homes can be devised, revised, built, and delivered quickly and without compromising on the original vision.
Our top-quality homes come in the following types:
Manufactured Homes
As the name implies, these are residential homes that are built and delivered quickly and at lower cost than conventional construction. Manufactured homes are often used as an alternative to building a home and provide the full look and feel of suburban living without the same hassles as a building firm.
Modular Homes
Modular homes are constructed using the same process as our other homes, but are delivered in two or more sections and assembled on-site. This allows for more control over the final layout and appearance of the home, making them useful for rural living or setting up on properties that may be difficult to bring a full-sized building up to at once.
Ready to Move (RTM) Homes
An RTM home is similar to a modular home except it comes in a single piece rather than sections. The other difference is that RTM homes can be installed on existing basement foundations or set up as a stand alone residence. Access to the site, as well as its current landscaping, will influence whether a modular home or RTM home is the better option.
Lake Homes
Lake homes are larger, more luxury-style homes meant for people looking for recreational retreats. Despite their name, lake homes do not necessarily have to be used as lakeside cottages and can be set up anywhere our other home models could.

About 2.5 hour drive from Bologna to 5 Terre was picturesque, but uneventful. We settle into our hotel in Levanto. Good hotel, amazing views
The next day we took a guided tour of 5 terre. It was both spectacular and educational.
For example we learned that the small villages are so tightly together from the old days to offer protection from the pirates
The same reason for streets being so narrow and resembling a maze
The houses facing the sea r the first line of defense
With our guide
Our car window would not go up "German engineering " on a 2 week old car. Luckily the local BMW center took care of it in about an hour. Them not speaking English was a bit of a challenge, but we are on our way to a day of a beach and a trip back to Milano.

Fiori, 100 Painters Mill Road, Owings Mills, 363-3131. Fiori, the former Reisterstown establishment, is new to this part of the county, being housed now in the former home of the Country Fair Inn. This gracious colonial home is truly an oasis in suburbia. Unfortunately, the food is not as spectacular as the surroundings, and the heavily Italian menu does not mesh with the elegant interior. We did enjoy a heady Black Bean Soup laced with onions and mozzarella and Stuffed Eggplant, for openers. The entrees left us looking for more flavor. $$moderate. (Last visited 1/91.)
LYNN WILLIAMS Akbar, 823 N. Charles St., 539-0944. Akbar is a popular Indian restaurant, and deservedly so. The small room is well-dressed -- ethnic needn't mean funky -- and the menu well-traveled. And if you want it hot, the kitchen will take you at your word; such dishes as chicken Madras are blisteringly spicy. Non-fire-eaters (and vegetarians) will be pleased with chane ki chaat, a tangy cold chickpea salad, and vegetable curries that are subtle but far from dull. $$moderate. (Last visited 3/91.)
JANICE BAKER Tabrizi's, 1026 S. Charles St., 752-3810. Bravissimo. Michael Tabrizi cooks beautifully, the rooms of the ex-Soup Kitchen glow gracefully, the waiters wait intelligently, and the casually dressed, chic clientele look like they love it all. Recommendations from the Mediterranean menu: gagi mish mish; salmon and spinach in a Roquefort cream; an appetizer combination of hummus, baba ghanoush, tabouleh, homemade stuffed grape leaves, and the best falafel around; cornmeal crepes; eggplant rolls; and Greek and Turkish pastries. $$moderate.

Fit Magazine features MyFitLife2Day: "Journey to Fitness"
Many of you may know that besides being a an educator, life coach and motivational speaker, I worked for many years at the start of my career as a journalist. In July, I decided to get back into professional writing (I figured why not make some income on all this research I've been doing as I continue to work on my book about overcoming super obesity). After I contacted the Albuquerque Journal to discuss doing some articles on weight loss, fitness and overcoming obesity (as well as hiking, of course), a Journal reporter apparently checked out my blog and became interested in doing an article with me as the subject. I said, "sure!"
The article is called "Journey to Fitness: Personal Life Coach Blogs About Weight Loss, Better Food Choices". Check it out!
Brian Schwarz is an award-winning journalist whose career was derailed by super obesity. He fought his way back to health - losing 165 pounds in the process of his "fit-life journey". A professional communicator by trade and activator by nature, Brian's personal mission is to inspire others live their fullest lives. Follow Brian on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Hello Brian, my name is Kelly Gossett, owner of New Mexico Kayak Instruction. I saw your story today searching for a kayak story in The Journal (a kayaking article for kids with developmental & physical disabilities). I'm not sure where you're at in your Journey to Fitness, down from 420lbs, it appears, but I'd like to make an offer for you. For the next 6 months, any time I am kayaking (in a lesson, community service event, or paddling for fun), I'd like to invite you to join us. This means I'll teach you for free thru April 2013 (this will include an Intro to Kayak class, kayak Roll class, Whitewater Weekend class and Touring Weekend class, ~$700 in value (more if you consider the opportunity to retake, as many students do)). I just ask that if you RSVP to an event, that you attend (no 'no-shows'). Kayaking is something anyone can do, and it's not extremely physical. Loading & unloading the boats are the hardest part, but I believe anyone can kayak - if not for the fitness, then for the mental and physical wellness of being outside, experiencing nature from a new perspective.ReplyDelete
You can contact me via my website at www.NewMexicoKayakInstruction.com
Paddle on,
Kelly Gossett
Owner/Lead Instructor - New Mexico Kayak Instruction
Founder - Kayak New Mexico (501(c)3 status pending)
Founder - Greater Albuquerque / Santa Fe Kayak Meetup paddling club

Sounds awesome, Kelly...I'll be in touch!ReplyDelete

[UPDATE: We've Added Some New Photos to the Gallery!]
Hardcore geeks and cinephiles have been waiting a long time to see the follow up project from District 9 director Neil Blomkamp - and with the debut of the trailer for Elysium, Blomkamp's sophomore effort certainly left an impression on those who watched it (especially those of us who were able to see extended footage from the film).
For those not yet in the know: Elysium tells the story of a future in which Earth has become a wasteland ghetto planet inhabited by the lower classes - while the upper classes reside in the pristine orbital colony known as "Elysium." After a life-threatening accident, Max De Costa (Matt Damon) embarks on a scheme to use sophisticated exoskeleton technology to break into Elysium, seeking treatment for his terminal condition. Only, things aren't quite what they seem - and Max soon finds himself in a situation he never bargained for.
Check out the Elysium hi-res images in our gallery below. Some will be familiar to you (only now in hi-res) while others you may not have seen before:
[gallery columns="2" ids="305809,305810,304029,304030,304026,304028"]
If you the trailer or photos leave you with a feeling that Blomkamp is "copying off of Halo" (as has been stated numerous times), let us just remind you that A) Blomkamp's new film is almost a companion piece to District 9 in terms of both look and overal aesthetic (i.e., his signature style), and B) Blomkamp was supposed to direct the Halo movie back in the late 2000s. However, since the Halo job came along before Blomkamp's breakout debut with District 9, Fox and Universal didn't yet have faith in his abilities. Elysium will surely make them regret that decision.
Comparisons aside, the film looks like yet another fine example of Blomkamp's ability to marry epic sci-fi imagination with a very grounded and insightful social commentary story. It also further evidences that the South African filmmaker is at the forefront when it comes to designing and rendering visual effects. For genere fans, this is no doubt one of the most anticipated films of summer 2013.
The film also stars Jodie Foster as Secretary Rhodes, head official on Elysium; District 9 star Sharlto Copley (in facial prosthetics) as "Kruger," Rhodes' chief enforcer on earth who attempts to track down and stop Max ; Alice Braga as a friend/love interest of Max's from childhood, and William Fitchner as a high-ranking Elysium V.I.P.
Elysium will be in theaters on August 9, 2013.

text: OverDrive Media Console v2.2 With a desire to see what ebooks my library had to offer, I installed this app onto my iPad (iPad model MC824LL (which is the iPad 1 model)), running iOS v4.3, via the App store. As far as I can tell OverDrive is only a DRM protection application. All the search and read functions appear to be in Safari. With the aid of a Library eTech, I was able to locate an available ePUB book, and download it. However, once the download was completed, the book never showed up in the OverDrive "library†section. At this point, I contacted OD Tech support. The OverDrive tech support, appears to be an automated email filter system, in which the term "iPad†is filter out as "iPhoneâ€. Also, every response from the OD Tech support took a full 24 hours. Each response requested that I do things to my iPhone to attempt to successfully load any audiobook. Note: "audiobook†not "ePUBâ€. Unfortunately, the majority of the iPhone fixes, do not relate to the iPad. After two weeks of steady work, with the OverDrive Tech support I was never able to find a single book in the OD Library screen. Extra points: My local library only has 312 ePUB books available. The DRM protection scheme only allows one instance per book at a time. You cannot return a ePUB book early. Each book is checked out for 21 days. I can only request 3 books at a time. Looking at this; 300 books, checked out for 21 days each, each with 1 or 2 people already in the que, I'll be waiting one to two months for any given title. While OverDrive Media Console v2.2 looks really commercial quality, for ME, it did not work. I would rate this with a single star (for looks) at the app store. Note: I assume that I am an unusual case and that for 90% (or better) of iPad users, this application would work fine – but not for me.

Just hours after Apple TV shipped out of Apple's Warehouse, it has been jailbroken yet again by iPhone Dev Team! In fact, it only took them 5 hours to successfully jailbreak and shoot the below video.
We all know that new Apple TV do not have any storage and only supports streaming rental from Apple. But what we also know is that Apple TV is running on iOS 4.1. It has 8GB of internal Storages, with 256mb of ram and runs on Apple's A4 Processor, to be honest, the specifications looks like a 8GB iPhone 3GS with a new A4 Processor. We have seen in the previous Apple TV Review and saw that Apple TV play 720p very smoothly. Quite impress with Apple's Streaming Service as they are quite new in this field.
Nevertheless, a jailbroken Apple TV means there will be countless of hacks, Custom Codec to play all formats of video? 1080p output? iOS App supports? Emulators? External Hard Disk Support? Who knows what will be coming, but we are very excited!
