Spilled Water On Your Phone? Rice To The Rescue! | Android Phone Fans
Rice is a Myth...
I was going to post this detailed thread too. But, as for the rice, it's not totally a myth, I know first hand that they can bring a phone back, but not a reliable method.
This whole rice debate is pointless. It's like those zicam, and the like, cold remedies. They say to take them at the first sign of cold symptoms and they reduce symptom duration and intensity... the problem is there is 0 way to legitimize the claims. If you take it and still get sick, they say yes, but it would have been worse had you not taken it. And if you take it and don't get sicker, they say it worked, when we all know sometimes you feel a little sniffly then get better not taking anything. My point being that, the people who say rice works will say, if you use rice and your phone recovers fully, it was the rice, when they very well may have reached the same result without it. And if you don't use rice and your phone remains f*ed, they say ah you should have used rice, even though the same result may have been reached with it. If you want to use rice should your phone get wet, fine. And if you want to suggest it to others and let them decide on their own, that's fine too. Just don't tout it as the end-all be-all savior for wet phones and the "only" real remedy.
My mom swears by Zicam and I always tell her that she's crazy. Silly woman.
I used a combo method. Two days in rice and five days on my surround sound exhaust vents. Phone was completely submerged in water and works fine now.
Bottom line is to get the battery out the instant it gets wet. Then make sure it is dry before you power it on. Hair dryer, rice, silica gel, alcohol, whatever as long as it is completely dry when you power it back on. Personally I think the surround sound vents were the perfect solution. It was like holding a hair dryer on the phone on low for five days. I agree it's not totally a myth. Also cut some dry time by using the fling method. Whereby you flick the water out of your phone like you are casting a fishing line.
Great Reagan quote by the way.
I had my droid totally submerged in water yesterday. Drowned my fourwheeler out and hopped off and my droid stayed under water for bout a minute. It went to the bootloader screen. Took the battery out and laid it in front of one those standup fan heaters. Works perfectly fine now. The droid is one tough phone.

Stream Guided by Voices' New Album 'Please Be Honest' Immediately!
It's GBV's 22nd record, and on it Robert Pollard wrote and recorded and played every damn instrument.
Guided by Voices is Robert Pollard. He is the the constant creative force that stands at the center of one of the most beloved indie rock bands of all time. The GBV following is cultish, he is revered. GBV has seemingly unlikely fans like The Strokes, who rung in 2002 by sharing the stage with them at Harlem's historic Apollo Theater. Pollard's been making music either as GBV or under his own name for 30 plus years. Last month he dropped solo album Of Course You Are and now, after the (recent-ish) rollercoaster of break-ups and reunions, he's reclaiming the Guided by Voices moniker once more. This past February it was announced that the band—a.k.a. Pollard—would be releasing a record and hitting the road, joined live by returning drummer Kevin March, plus guitarist Bobby Bare, Jr., guitarist Nick Mitchell, and bassist Mark Shue (all pictured above).
We're premiering GBV's 22nd album Please Be Honest below. From the rascally chug and kitchen room clatter of "The Grasshopper Eaters," to the sparse, piano-wonky "Sad Baby Eyes," the pummeled thwacks of "Unfinished Business" to the raw lo-fi pop of LP closer "Eye Shop Heaven," Pollard is unswervingly, unabashedly himself. No doubt he'll continue to be so, in the coming months, on stages near you soon (see the newly announced dates below).
But for now here's the latest from the prolific songwriter:

Stay ahead of developments in federal and state health care law, regulation and transactions with timely, expert news and analysis.
By Alex Ruoff
Oct. 6 — The federal government Oct. 6 released two final rules establishing the requirements for the final stage of the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive programs and shortening the programs' reporting period for 2015.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in a release said the rules will bring simplicity and flexibility to the meaningful use program. The CMS also said it will give hardship exemptions to providers and hospitals that switch to new electronic health record systems.
"We eliminated unnecessary requirements, simplified and increased flexibility for those that remain, and focused on interoperability, information exchange, and patient engagement," Patrick Conway, deputy administrator and chief medical officer for the CMS, said. "By 2018, these rules move us beyond the staged approach of 'meaningful use' and focus on broader delivery system reform."
The CMS rule (RIN 0938-AS26 and 0938-AS58) establishes the requirements providers and hospitals must meet to obtain a Medicare or Medicaid incentive payment through Stage 3 of the meaningful use program, set to begin in 2017. The CMS rule also makes the first year of Stage 3 (2017) optional.
A second rule (RIN 0991-AB93) from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT establishes the criteria for electronic health records to be used by the providers and hospitals meeting Stage 3 requirements.
Both rules will be published in the Oct. 16 Federal Register, and the agencies will accept comments on the final rules until Dec. 15.
The meaningful use program offers Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments to health-care providers and hospitals that adopt EHR systems. The program has paid more than $30 billion to more than 5,000 hospitals and more than 400,000 providers since 2011.
Industry groups and lawmakers in recent weeks have repeatedly pressured the CMS to delay release of the rule establishing Stage 3 and publish only modifications to Stage 2, which would shorten the 2015 reporting period.
However, Conway said on an Oct. 6 call with reporters that a delay could result in penalties to thousands of providers and hospitals. He said a delay to Stage 3 rulemaking wouldn't delay the penalties, which are established by law.
The CMS final rule released Oct. 6 does shorten the reporting period for hospitals and providers.
Previously, providers eligible for meaningful use program incentive payments had to report meeting the requirements of the program for a full year, running from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. The CMS rule shortens that period to 90 days.
Hospitals were on the fiscal year, running from September 2014 to Oct. 1, 2015. The CMS rule also transitioned hospitals to the calendar year.
Conway said hospitals and providers have until Feb. 29, 2016—five months from the release of the rules—to report on meeting the requirements of meaningful use in 2015.
The move to shorten the reporting period has garnered support from a number of physician groups, including the American Medical Association and the American Hospital Association, which have said thousands of doctors faced the possibility of failing to meet the meaningful use program's requirements if the reporting period wasn't shortened.
The changes to the reporting period also mean hospitals will have to wait until early 2016 to attest to the federal government that they met requirements of the meaningful use program in 2015, the CMS separately announced Oct. 6.
The CMS's online attestation portal for hospitals didn't launch as originally scheduled on Oct. 1, the end of the 2015 fiscal year, Elizabeth Holland, a program manager with the CMS's Center for Clinical Standards and Quality, said at a special joint meeting of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT's Policy and Standards committees.
The agency will open the attestation portal from Jan. 4, 2016, to Feb. 29, 2016, in anticipation of modifications to the meaningful use program that will change the hospital reporting time frame from the fiscal year to the calendar year and shorten the reporting period from 12 months to 90 days, she said.
Hospitals and doctors can't receive Medicare or Medicaid EHR incentive payments until they attest to meeting the program's requirements. They also must attest to meeting the program requirements to avoid Medicare penalties in 2017.
The delay in opening the attestation portal will postpone hospitals' meaningful use payments, a CMS spokesman told Bloomberg BNA Oct. 6.
Health-care providers in the meaningful use program, unlike hospitals, are already on the calendar year and already are expected to attest starting in January 2016.

Today we have heard from Ayoze Perez, Tim Krul and Andros Townsend (via his father Troy) who have said they are willing to stay at Newcastle next season, when we are in the Championship and hopefully only down in the second division for one season – that's the plan.
We expect Ayoze Perez for one, to be hoping his Spanish compatriot Rafa Benitez is still the Newcastle manager next season.
Andros Townsend – wants to stay on Tyneside next season
Rafa has already brought the very best out of Andros Townsend and he seems to have a great relationship with the world-class manager.
Tim hasn't yet trained with Rafa, but he's been at the club for 11 years now and it seems he has no intention of leaving.
And Tim Krul is still recovering from his ACL knee injury but he has also used his Twitter account to let everybody know he is still fully committed to Newcastle .
There's going to be some competition for the goalkeeper jersey next season between Tim, Rob Elliot and Karl Darlow.
This is Ayoze's tweet today.
Thanks Toon Army #Howaythelads ?? pic.twitter.com/nmxYLzpCeK
— Ayoze Perez (@AyozePG) May 16, 2016
Here's Tim's tweet today.
— Tim Krul (@TimKrul) May 16, 2016
And it looks like new by Andros Townsend who has been a huge hit on Tyneside in a short four months is also intending to stay.
That's even though he could well be in the England squad of 23 for the Euro 2016 Championships next month – he was selected today in the initial squad of 26.
Andros' dad Troy has told BBC Five Live today:
"Newcastle could rise quickly and Andros looks forward to many more seasons with them."
It also looks like his dad is getting to be a big fan of Newcastle (and of his son of course) as he tweeted about Andros seemingly being subbed late in the game yesterday.
Still getting goosebumps from that standing ovation for the 'wrong' substitution and today's news just adds to that pride!!
— Troy Townsend (@Towno10) May 16, 2016
If we can keep and afford some of our top players to stay at the club next season – we will have a great chance of coming straight back up – and we will win a lot of games too.
Huge difference from this seoasn.
Comments welcome.

Tips for building bookshelves include anchoring shelves to the wall for added stability, creating adjustable shelves that offer greater flexibility and using a polyurethane plastic trim to customize the look of finished shelves. Bookshelves wider than 36 inches may require additional center or shelf supports. Recommended thickness for plywood is 3/4th of an inch for all pieces except for the back and solid lumber construction provides larger shelves with additional stability.
Many lumber yards and suppliers provide cutting services for a small additional charge. These services ensure all pieces have been accurately measured and properly cut and can reduce the number of tools needed to complete the project. An 11-inch space between shelves is suitable for most books, but the installation of adjustable shelving mounts can ensure a wider range of display options and configurations.
Bookshelves are typically constructed using either solid lumber or of plywood. Basic designs utilize a bottom and top piece, two vertical pieces and a back as well as any number of shelves. Using plain butt joints, nails or a high-quality wood glue may simplify the assembly process. Use cleats for shelves that are permanently supported on strips and fasten slotted-metal standards about 1 inch from the front and back edge of the vertical sections when installing adjustable shelving mounts.

Aecom wins big ME contracts
Abu Dhabi, July 19, 2009
Aecom Technology Corporation, a leading provider of professional technical and management support services for government and commercial clients, has clinched two major contracts worth $60 million in the Middle East region.
The wins are an extension from Aldar Properties for a multi-year, $45-million design and construction-management contract for the Al Raha Beach Development project in Abu Dhabi and a $15-million contract to provide program-management services for the first phase of the Knowledge Economic City in Madinah, the company said in a statement.
As the lead design and engineering consultant for construction services on the $14 billion Al Raha Beach Development, Aecom will enable the extension and further development of the project site, which is currently 5 miles long.
The project comprises residential, retail, recreational and commercial properties, including marinas and canal developments.
"We are proud of the excellent work provided by our Al Raha Beach Development team during the past four years and are excited about the opportunity to build on this relationship in providing design and construction management services to enhance and develop this area," said Aecom president and chief executive officer John M. Dionisio.
The construction services for the project are slated for completion by the end of next year, he added.
For the 2,075-acre Knowledge Economic City project in Madinah, which has an estimated construction value of $8 billion, Aecom will provide services such as project controls, procurement, construction logistics and construction-phase project management.
The Knowledge Economic City development is expected to be completed in 10 to 12 years. The development is expected to create more than 20,000 jobs and accommodate about 150,000 people.
'This exciting project in Saudi Arabia provides an excellent example of how Aecom is able to leverage our global expertise and presence to serve our clients,' said Dionisio.
"Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi are two strategically important regions for Aecom, and we are proud to play such vital roles in their further development," he added.

How a Head Cold Affects Your Brain Function
Feelings of malaise, low mood and muddled thinking go hand-in-hand with having a cold and may be due to changes deep inside the brain instead of the cold symptoms themselves, says a study in Brain, Behavior and Immunity. Research has shown the common cold can affect attention, behavior and cognitive function, even when symptoms aren't present.
Scientists compared mental functioning before and after head colds in 189 men and women from the U.K. When the subjects were healthy, they completed tests assessing reaction time, verbal-reasoning skills, memory and mood. Cold symptoms, such as sore throat and sneezing, were rated on a five-point scale. Sleep duration was assessed. Of the subjects, 48 developed head colds and were retested when the illness had been present 24 to 96 hours. The 141 who remained healthy were retested after 12 weeks.
There were significant differences between the cold and healthy subjects on measures of mood, including alertness and well-being, reaction time, memory, information processing and speed. Accuracy on memory-recall tests didn't change in either group, though the cold-free subjects improved their test results, indicating that learning may be impaired during a cold, researchers said.
No significant relationships were found between mood changes and nasal secretions, or between performance changes and symptom scores, sleep duration or mood changes. This suggests that cold symptoms per se aren't related to changes in performance, researchers said.
They recommended research to explore possible mechanisms that might explain psychomotor slowing during a cold, such as the role of inflammatory proteins and neurotransmitter changes in the brain.
Caveat: The severity of cold symptoms was associated with subjects' self-reported alertness and mood changes, not with objective measures of illness, researchers said.
Title: Effects of the common cold on mood, psychomotor performance, the encoding of new information, speed of working memory and semantic processing
Aspirin dose: Taking half a dose of aspirin twice a day, instead of a single daily dose significantly reduced biological resistance to the widely used heart-protection drug in patients with Type 2 diabetes, according to a pilot study published in the American Heart Journal. Low-dose aspirin is often prescribed after a heart attack because it helps to prevent blood clots from forming, but the drug's effectiveness is reduced in diabetic individuals compared with the general population.
The study involved 92 patients with Type 2 diabetes treated at a Paris clinic from 2010 to 2011. During a two-week period, the subjects took one 150-milligram aspirin in the morning. In a second two-week period, they took two 75-milligram aspirins 12 hours apart. Blood-platelet clumping, called platelet aggregation, was analyzed with a light-transmission technology after each two-week regimen. Patients were considered aspirin resistant if the rate of aggregation was 20% or greater.
Average platelet aggregation was 20% on one-a-day aspirin and 12% on two half doses a day, results showed. Some 42% of people taking a single dose showed resistance to aspirin, compared with 17% taking a half dose twice daily. Taking aspirin and at least one other blood-thinning drug didn't alter the results.
Caveat: The long-term effects of twice-a-day aspirin weren't assessed. Patient compliance might be lower on the twice-a-day regimen, which would compromise aspirin's effectiveness, researchers said.
Title: Biological efficacy of twice daily aspirin in type 2 diabetic patients with coronary artery disease
Skin health: Obese individuals are highly susceptible to bacterial and fungal skin disorders that may indicate the presence of an underlying disease, says a report in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology. Obesity is a risk factor for several serious health conditions, but its effect on skin health has gotten less attention.
The study compared skin conditions in 76 obese and 73 normal-weight patients in their late 40s who visited a dermatology clinic in Brazil from 2009 to 2010. Obesity was defined by measurements of body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or greater.
The rates of skin conditions were significantly lower in normal-weight patients than in the obese group. These included skin scarring called striae; the foot condition plantar hyperkeratosis; skin tags called acrochordons; a fungal skin rash called intertrigo; and areas of dark thickened skin or pseudoacanthosis nigricans. Bacterial skin infections, psoriasis and lymphedema were more common in obese subjects.
Skin abnormalities in obese individuals may be due to increased moisture and friction from skin rubbing, researchers said. Pseudoacanthosis nigricans and acrochordons are symptoms of endocrine disorders and should be investigated, they said.
Caveat: The study found no association between obesity and acne, hair loss, or excessive hair growth, researchers said.
Title: Skin manifestations of obesity: a comparative study
Premature anxiety: Teens who were born extremely premature with a very low birth weight are more likely to have serious anxiety problems than teens born full term with a normal birth weight, according to a meta-analysis in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology. Several behavioral and psychiatric disorders are linked to prematurity, but this study is the first to single out anxiety, researchers said.
The analysis, conducted in Denmark, pooled the results of six general psychiatric studies in six countries from 1997 to 2010 that had separate measures for anxiety. The studies involved 1,519 subjects 11 to 20 years old—with 787 born before 32 weeks gestation and weighing less than 3.3 pounds, and 732 born at about 40 weeks gestation with a normal weight. Parents and teachers reported anxiety problems.
Prematurity and low birth weight more than doubled the risk of anxiety symptoms compared with controls, but the risk was three times higher when the analysis only considered subjects under age 15, results showed. Dysfunctional brain circuitry due to prematurity may be an underlying cause of anxiety, researchers said. Maternal anxiety over a preterm birth is a possible factor, they said.
Caveat: The study didn't analyze anxiety by sex because of differences in data collection, researchers said. Anxiety problems weren't defined.
Title: Anxiety in adolescents born preterm or with very low birthweight: a meta-analysis of case-control studies
Grief and health: The death of a child can have adverse effects on the health of bereaved parents, especially mothers, but the health risks taper off over time and are even reduced in parents who lose a child older than age 25, according to a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Previous research has focused on parental health following the death of a young child, but little is known about the impact of losing an older child.
A national database was used to track mothers and fathers of children born in Sweden from 1948 to 1980. Parents who were alive at the time of their child's death were followed to their own death. A control group was composed of mothers and fathers of children who were born during the same period and didn't die before their parents.
Risk of adverse health effects was highest in mothers of children who died of unnatural causes, such as accidents, between the ages of 10 and 17. Compared with control mothers, these grieving mothers' risk of death increased by 48%, 13% in fathers.
The death of an adult child over age 25, from natural or unnatural causes, had less impact on parental health in the first eight years, especially if the deceased child had children. The risk of death in both mothers and fathers was significantly reduced compared with parents of living children, though bereaved mothers' risk increased to 7% after eight years.
This finding was surprising and may be due to factors that predate or even contribute to the death of an adult child, such as chronic alcohol and drug abuse, or criminal behavior, researchers said.
Caveat: Researchers didn't have access to biological and genetic information about the subjects or the nature of the parent-child relationships.
Title: Mortality in parents following the death of a child: a nationwide follow-up study from Sweden
Cold Water With Exercise Helps a Body
Drinking cold water during strenuous exercise is a faster, more effective way to regulate internal body temperature and prevent dehydration than consuming water at room temperature, according to a study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. Inadequate water intake during exercise can cause the blood to thicken, making the heart work harder to maintain normal function. Previous research on cold-water consumption has had conflicting results.
The subjects in this study were 45 physically active men about 30 years old from Phoenix, Ariz. They participated in two workouts about three weeks apart that included 60 minutes of strength and cardiovascular conditioning followed by performance tests in broad jumping, weightlifting and stationary cycling. Subjects consumed identical portions of water at 39 degrees Fahrenheit in one session and at 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the other. Before each session, subjects swallowed a biodegradable sensor pill that transmitted core-temperature changes to an external monitor every 15 minutes.
During workouts, the subjects' core body temperature increased 2.2% in the cold-water experiment and 3.1% in the warm-water experiment, sensors showed. Cold water slowed the rise in temperature. The average core temperature increased from 98.7 to 100.2 degrees Fahrenheit over 45 minutes with cold water and from 98.3 to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit over 15 minutes with warm water. Performance results between the two sessions weren't significantly different, though 50% of participants improved in the broad jump with cold water.
Caveat: External temperature and humidity were controlled throughout the study and the experiments were only 90 minutes long. Cold-water benefits may be more evident in higher temperatures and during longer exercise sessions, researchers said.

India and Pakistan in high-pressure knockout
Azeem Ghumman and Ashok Menaria were not yet in their teens when Sachin Tendulkar blitzed Pakistan at Centurion in the 2003 World Cup. They were merely 17 when Misbah-ul-Haq came agonisingly close to snatching the inaugural World Twenty20 from India in 2007. The pressure an India-Pakistan match in a World Cup brings is storied and, on Saturday, these two teenage leaders will experience it for the first time - when their teams clash in the quarter-final of the Under-19 World Cup in Lincoln.
Indian and Pakistani sides have traditionally been the form teams at U-19 World Cups. They enter the tournaments as favourites and rarely fall out of contention before the semi-finals. One will tomorrow. Few expected them to come up against each other so early in the competition. Pakistan won all their league games and topped their group. India won the first two but dropped their last against England. If they hadn't, they would be playing West Indies.
"We are seething after the loss [to England], and we'll take it out against Pakistan," Meenaria told the Hindustan Times. "The world comes to a standstill when an India-Pakistan match is on."
Pakistan perhaps hold the edge. They scored big against West Indies, bowled Papua New Guinea out cheaply, and held their nerve to win a thriller against Bangladesh. They have the tournament's highest run-scorer, Babar Azam - 260 runs at an average of 130, and the joint highest wicket-taker, Usman Qadir - eight at 15 apiece.
The victories India scored were against Afghanistan and Hong Kong and they ensured India's qualification even before the loss to England. Unlike the 2008 campaign, when Tanmay Srivastava and Virat Kohli led the batting charts, this time India's highest runscorer - Rahul Kannaur with 117 in three innings - is 15th on the list. Saurabh Netravalkar, their left-arm fast bowler, could prove to be key. He was exceptional against England, rattling the top order and finishing with figures of 3 for 25.
There is an external factor - and a significant one - in India's favour. They are familiar with conditions at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval, having played two group matches there. Pakistan only got to Christchurch a few days ago - their group matches were on North Island. The pitch at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval aids seam bowling, and is good for batting when the sun shines. Scoring runs, however, requires a disciplined approach as India found out the hard way against England. They must learn quickly from their errors; Pakistan, however, have no second chances.
Another external factor, an uncontrollable one, favours Pakistan. It rained all day in Christchurch on the eve of the match and although Saturday's forecast is brighter one can never be certain. Should the match end in a washout, Pakistan will go through to the semi-final because of their better group position. There is no reserve day.
Pakistan's manager, Shafqat Rana, says this side is the best U-19 Pakistan side he has seen but he's aware of the gravity of the contest. "These children have never played India, forget in a World Cup game, but have grown up watching the high-intensity clashes between the two countries," he told the Indian Express. "They are aware of the expectations back home. Be it an U-13 India-Pakistan game or a veterans' contest, it will always remain special."
And then there's the raging controversy in the subcontinent over the Pakistan players being ignored by the IPL, and maybe it would provide the contest added edge. Rana didn't think so. "They are kids, they have very little idea about IPL auction and other issues," he said. The absence of intense media coverage could also help them focus better.
Ghumman, Menaria and their team-mates will say they're approaching the contest like they would any other. They can try, but all will not succeed. Even the wealth of Tendulkar's experience in pressure situations couldn't prevent him from living the Centurion match a year in advance. And even he slept poorly for 12 nights before d-day.

In May I took two classes with Frank Garcia. It was Hobbyworld and some stores in Sweden who arranged his Sweden Tour. I design for one of the stores, Pyssloteket, and Anna arranged two different classes here in Stockholm. Frank was an amazing teacher! So much fun and with a heart of gold! If you haven´t taken any class with him I can really recommend him!
This is the layout we created. I really love how it looks with the black frame and all so I put it on a shelf in my living room.
This is how the kit looked thet we worked with. 7 packages from Prima, papers, a stencil from Prima and the pretty frame!
I buy lots of this different metal decorations but are lousy at using them? But now after creating with them here I will try to use them more.
Goregous flowers from Prima!
We also used some of the amazing Color Bloom sprays.
Cool textures and 3d effects!
Really sparkly bling from Prima.
Chipboard with texture paste, ink, crackle medium amd Color Bloom.

Anne Jackson finds tasty action at new Naked Winery tasting room in Bend
Whoever said "networking" is the key to finding a job must have had Naked in mind.
Anne Jackson, the first tasting room manager for Naked's new tasting room in Bend's Old Mill District, got caught in the Naked net.
Jackson's husband, James, runs the Side Effect Boardshop in Bend.
Through the store, Jackson met Becky Kinney, who at that time was working in marketing at Mt. Bachelor.
Kinney joined Naked in mid-2012 as its "secret weapon," later posted on Facebook about Naked's need for a tasting room manager in Bend, and Jackson saw a great opportunity to … sip into something new.
"I was hired to bring what this wine is doing here (in Hood River) to Bend, and bring that same fun to it," Jackson said during a recent visit to the mother ship.
"Bend embraces a lot of outdoor activities rather than working endless hours, which is a lot of what Naked is about."
Jackson is used to good things coming from chance meetings. She met her husband during one of her eight summers teaching at Mt. Hood's High Cascade Snowboard Camp.
She says the Bend tasting room delivers perfectly on Naked's indoor-outdoor vibe. It sits at a corner of its building, and features outdoor seating a short audio distance from the popular Les Schwab Amphitheater across the Deschutes River to the west.
"It's a little cozier than the Hood River space," she says of the 1,400-square-foot room. "There's great outdoor seating, for people to hang out in the summer."
While Naked awaits its permanent service license, the tasting room is open weekends. Jackson expects permits before July, when she and a couple of new hires will kick operations into summer style. From then on, Naked Bend will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m to 6 p.m. Sundays.
Club Naked members will have a separate space inside, but anyone and everyone (over 21; children are welcome with their parents or guardians.) can amble in for a taste, to purchase bottles or simply take a break from the milling mallions.
If you're one of them, be sure to introduce yourself to Anne. She's eager to help you and Bend get Naked.

On Sunday morning we were up bright and early to make the 45 minute trip to Mountain, ON where we went apple picking at Mountain Orchards. This was the same place we took Anna for her second birthday and we wanted to get back there earlier this year as it would be a) warmer and b) more apples would be on the trees.
We started and ended the day with some of the delicious apple cider mini donuts from the bakery. But in between the kids had fun going through the corn maze, picking apples, riding the tractor and playing in the hay.

So, once again, I am attempting some kind of weight loss. Surprise!
Actually it is kind of a surprise. I wasn't sure I would ever go down this road again, considering the trail of failure that drags behind me back to the age of 14. There's always temporary success, yes, but ultimately failure. That, plus being on the "self-acceptance" track for a few years now has kept me from wanting to pay attention to my weight.
But if I'm being honest with myself I AM UNCOMFORTABLE at this weight. I don't have much stamina. I start huffing & puffing after very little activity, and that's going to be a problem if I want to go to Italy in the fall. I need to be able to do a lot of walking around.
So. This topic came up at my last visit to the rheumatologist, and he gave me a referral to the "Center for Lifestyle Management" at Northwestern. That's a lovely euphemism, isn't it? Couldn't we all use some "lifestyle management?" I called in October and couldn't get an appointment until JANUARY. Which means they're either doing bang-up business or only see one person a day. I'm not sure which.
I am now living on 1400 calories a day, WHICH DOES NOT FEEL LIKE MUCH. I'm also keeping track of everything I eat, which is one of the things I always hated about being on a weight loss program. The constant evaluation and categorization of everything I eat or think about eating. How many calories does this have? How many calories do I have left today? How much of this is one serving? FIFTEEN tortilla chips is a serving? AAUUUUGGHHHHH. I just want to eat what I want to eat when I want to eat it and not think about it. But that's no doubt part of the reason I weigh what I do, so I just have to get over the idea that I can't do that anymore. The torturous task of food tracking is a bit easier now, thanks to the fancy phone apps that have practically every food known to humankind already analyzed and imported and all you have to do is click to add it to your diary. I've been doing it for about a week and a half now.
I weighed myself after the first week, and I'd lost eight pounds. I felt both good and "so what?" about it. There was very little of that past elation that came with weight loss. Because let's be honest, you can't weigh what I weigh, cut yourself back to 1400 calories a day and not lose at least five pounds in a week. Yes, I still had to actually do it, but this is the easy part. I know this. I have done this enough times to know that the first few months are easy. I can lose at least 20 pounds by Memorial Day, probably. But after six months, eight months, the weight loss starts to taper, every pound is hard-won, and the urge to eat 1400 calories worth of ice cream in one sitting will get harder to ignore. I HAVE DONE THIS ALL BEFORE. I'm having difficulty seeing how things will be different this time. But I'm going to do the work for as long as I can, and see what happens. I'm trying to take a page from the rehab world and narrow my focus to "one day at a time." I'm very good at sending myself to the future and examining all the ways my failure was inevitable. I need to spend less time doing that. Be Here Now, and all those bullshit clichés that are actually really important.
I'm hesitant to even publish this, because I don't want to talk about it. I don't want this to be the focal point of my life (that's another thing I hate about doing this. It takes so much mental energy). And I don't want to be a food martyr. "Oh, I can't eat that!" "Oh, I wish I could have seconds!" "Oh, I miss eating pizza!" It's such a tiresome topic.
So let's not talk about it, okay? I just needed to get some of this out of my system.

Southwark Cathedral's Millennium buildings have received an award for being one of the best new buildings of the year.
It is the only church in the list of 58 modern buildings and one of only two historic buildings in the list of winners. The Royal Institute of British Architects award recognises high architectural standards and the building's contribution to the local environment.
Dean of Southwark Cloin Slee, who was present at the announcement, said: "This is truly prestigious recognition. The Cathedral's buildings have been judged to be as outstanding as the Gateshead Millennium Bridge."
The cathedral's new buildings are now eligible to be shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize to be awarded in October.
The Iroko Housing Cooperative developed on Upper Ground by Coin Street Community Builders also received an award.

Ordinarily, one might not get all that stoked about an early-season 3-5 record. But Manhattan College coach Katie McConnell sees progress where others might see stagnation.
When you consider the Jaspers won five games all of last season in McConnell's first year at the helm, you can see why she's eager to begin the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference beginning Saturday. She thinks the Jaspers are poised to make a run at the MAAC this season.
"I think we're in a really good spot," McConnell said. "I think we are fine-tuning a lot more than we did last year, and I think we're implementing (the game plan) a lot better. We're learning from our mistakes and we're really growing."
The Jaspers (3-5) played a rather challenging non-conference schedule in preparing for the MAAC regular season.
Along the way, Manhattan picked up wins over Presbyterian, Vermont and Wofford, with losses coming against Mount Saint Mary's, Arizona State, Lafayette, LaSalle and Wagner.
But with three of those losses coming by five goals or fewer, McConnell sees reason for optimism.
"Really the biggest difference from last year to this year is we're trusting each other a lot more," McConnell said. "We understand how each other plays a lot more, and they're just connecting more things better than last year."
Last season when McConnell took over, her first priority was to change the culture around a program that had not had a winning season since 2009 and had not logged more than four wins in any season since then.
"I want the culture here to be extremely positive because I think everybody benefits in an environment like that," McConnell said. "We talk about effort, positivity and communication every day, and those are the three biggest things we want to make sure we're contributing on and off the field. And if we can do that then I think we'll always be in a good place. And that, as a team, is something they have all bought in to."
In Year Two of her tenure, McConnell likes the changes in attitudes and in dedication that might not have been there prior to her arrival.
"I love how hard we are working. I think it's awesome," McConnell said. "We're playing 60 minutes, and the effort is always there. I think we're learning a lot from our tough out-of-conference schedule. We're learning how to win and how to play together and that was the most important thing we learned in the non-conference portion of our season."
McConnell hopes her team's challenging non-conference slate will have the Jaspers battle-tested for a upcoming MAAC season that sees Manhattan face three of the top four teams in the conference in their first four games, with the first three of those contests coming on the road.
The Jaspers will open with road games at three-time defending champion Canisius College on March 24, followed by road games at Quinnipiac on March 31 and at Marist on April 4. Marist was picked third in the MAAC preseason poll.
The Jaspers finally return home April 7 when they host Niagara, the fourth pick in the poll.
Talk about baptism by fire.
"I think we're in a really good spot going into conference play because the out-of-conference schedule really prepared us for that," McConnell said. "Overall we're just a lot more prepared."
McConnell looks toward her core of Sarah Lang, Kara Hodapp, Molly Fitzpatrick, Nikki Prestiano and Emma Kaishian to lead the Jaspers this season.
And she points to freshman Carmella Liscio as another rising player to watch this season, a season which McConnell hopes finally leads a long lost program back to some winning ways.
"We expect more this year," McConnell said. "I think last year was more, 'Let's see what we can do,' and this year we know what we can do and we believe in what we're doing. So I think there is a high expectation for what we can accomplish in the conference because we see their potential every day."

while sharing a file from one pc to another in the same network which are all layers in the osi model act?
i didnt find any answers in google also!!
Google has plenty of information on the OSI layers model. But you won't find the exact, step-by-step answer to your question, and I hope that no-one here will supply you with that complete answer. You have to actually think about the problem and do a little work yourself. That is the point of a homework assignment. Alternatively, discuss it with your tutor.
If you find this too difficult then perhaps you should reconsider whether you are studying the right course. The last thing that the world needs is network engineers who don't understand the basic principles of networking.
yaa ..you are correct !! but im not working anywhere and im a fresher thats the reason im not able to find the answer ...and u mentioned the word " homework" .. for your kind information please visit my blog www.vamsismethngspcl.blogspot.in then you will come to know about my homework..
What the blog has to do with anything I have no idea. I think you misunderstand what is meant by the term "homework"
Home work in this context is a task given to you by teacher, tutors, instructor to be completed out side of normal lesson. The purpose of the task is to give you practice in finding things out for your self and working out a solution to a problem and hopefully learn something along the way. Not to not to have someone provide the solution for you.
Lovely response StuartS thanks for putting that down!
I like it so much, I'm going to quote it as I want to add one thing:
Home work in this context is a task given to you by teacher, tutors, instructor to be completed out side of normal lesson. The purpose of the task is to give you practice in finding things out for your self and working out a solution to a problem and hopefully learn something along the way. Not to not to have someone provide the solution for you.
As per the above. The term "homework" derives from the fact that it's an assignment/task (work) you do outside of normal lessons (ie: at home). Ergo: "homework"
If you know OSI model and how it works in real life, then the answer to your original question is really quite simple. You just have to think about it.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
***William Henley***
im working with this question and im searching for that in the internet too..after all the work i found that network layer will not be there in the scene in this case..and i want further details about this but you guys without telling the answer instead you are diverting this topic
" i found that network layer will not be there in the scene in this case"
If this was the conclusion you came to then you have no understanding of how the osi model works. Each layer talks to the one above and below it.
I would suggest you start with leaning how to search. You should go to google and follow their tutorial on how to search.
google "google tutorials"
google "how the osi model works"
Read your course material: all of it.
Ask your instructor questions
Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
How to properly post a question:
Sorry no tech support via PM's
wanderer!! in the question i mentioned "with in the same network" ..better once go through the question ..when the two systems are in the same network there is no use of network layer!!!!
And if the network layer is not involved, how do you suppose the two computers address each other? You are correct that, within a single network, routing is not involved but the computers still need to identify each other with network addresses (IP addresses most probably). Routing and addressing are different concepts, both of which are handled at the network layer.
Have a look at this article about the network layer: http://www.highteck.net/EN/Network/...
"First, the Network layer must provide a mechanism for addressing these end devices. If individual pieces of data are to be directed to an end device, that device must have a unique address. In an IPv4 network, when this address is added to a device, the device is then referred to as a host."
You might also like to look at post 6 in this thread for an analogy of how the OSI model works: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/t...
This misunderstanding demonstrates why it would not be a good idea to simply give you a solution. You have to actually understand that solution not just be able to repeat it.
in this case it wont use IP ADDRESS (which comes in network layer) instead of that it uses MAC ADDRESS(which operates in data link layer) ..because it uses mac address for communication there is no need of network layer!!
what do u say about this??
it communicates through mac address (48 bit) ..mac address operates in data linklayer of the osi model ...so there is no use of ip address
I say that you do not understand networking and seem unwilling to learn.
How do you suppose that computer A knows the MAC address of computer B? Or are you suggesting that we use MAC addresses to identify computers when we want to copy a file?
yeah mac address will be used for identifying a computer with in a network but ip address is used to identify a computer in different network (i.e internet) ...if you dont agree that network layer wont function in this case then please explain ...
waiting for your answer
As I said, you just don't understand networking and you seem unwilling to study the articles that I have linked to.
I suggest that you either have a discussion with your tutor or else think hard about pursuing a different career. I am not here to take the place of your tutor.
you just cant tell that im unwilling for networking...what i said is correct that network layer wont be there ...
thank you
once read my question..i hope u didnt get my question ..
there are two computers ..those are connected by cross over cable ..so we can share files between two..so in this case network layer wont be there ..
waiting for ur reply
You also need to learn about network protocols, specifically Ethernet(MAC) and TCP/IP (IP address) and how the two work together.
I am afraid ice2lave I have to agree with the others. You need to talk with your tutor as you have totally misunderstood something. Even if you were to plug two computers together via a crossover cable, the OSI layers would still be there.
hii stuart
im saying that only network layer wont be there ..im not talking about remaining layers ..
i really thank you guys for answering me without any irritation ...thank you ..thanks a alot..waiting for stuarts answer
One last attempt. Now think about this before you reply.
You have computer A and computer B. How does computer A know the MAC address of computer B if it wants to transfer a file to it? When you are copying that file do you specify the MAC address or do you just use names (or possibly IP addresses)?
Work through the process step by step from you typing, on computerA
copy file \\computerB\sharename
ftp computerB
and think about what happens at each stage and which OSI layers are responsible for what happens. (Hint: a crossover cable is still a network.)
You have been answered repeatedly but you do not understand the answer because you do not understand the mechanism of the OSI model. If you were to search a tutorial (as has been recommended) and read it through carefully you might have a better understanding of the OSI model and therefore, understand the answer.
I would highly recommend you talk to your instructor and ask him/her for some extra time of theirs to give you extra instruction.
Also, have a look at the following OSI chart in .pdf format (use controls at bottom to enlarge page so you can read it):
This is such a terrific chart, I got my boss to order a full sized one for me just because I like it so much and I have it hanging in my office.
Take a look in the orange section under "Routing/Switching Protocols" down in the "Network Layer" (layer 3). Notice "IP" is there. IP as in "IP address"
You keep saying the network layer is not involved and you've been told multiple times it is. Yet you keep insisting it's not. Well, the above chart proves conclusively it is indeed involved.
Since I know you're still confused I'll attempt to explain by adding on to what others have said.
You've had it pointed out to you that when you connect two computers together using a network cable...........regardless of whether or not it's a crossover cable going PC to PC, or in patch cable running to a switch...........in order to have communication, both PC's involved must have a valid IP address within the same subnet.
Take two computers and a crossover cable. Plug them in. Then try to copy a file from one to the other. You can't. That is, you can't until you give them both a valid IP address within the same subnet. Then, and only then, can they communicate with each other.
Now, if you still don't get it..........there's nothing else we, or anybody else in this world can do to make you understand and we're back around to the original point that you don't get it and need help learning it.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
***William Henley***
Guys this is a waste of time.
ice2lava has some kind of mental block to understanding these core concepts as well as having established misinformation as what he believes to be accurate.
A simple review of How the OSI model Works via the google search I suggested would have clarified the entire issue and answered his question.
He is not willing to do this. There are too many other people to help.
Please don't waste your time.
BTW ice2lava most of us answering your questions have more than 10 years in the field and some of us a lot more.
It is bad when you don't even understand your own question.
I believe ijack is correct and this will not be a field you will be successful in. Highly recommend you go into programming or other related IT field. Networking isn't going to work for you and you will live a life of frustration.
Answers are only as good as the information you provide.
How to properly post a question:
Sorry no tech support via PM's
ice2lava, an easy way to understand what is actually happening when you copy a file using SMB or NFS, etc, is to start up Wireshark, copy the file, and then look at the packets that went across the wire.
As the others have stated, you need to do some reading and learn this for yourself.

Weasels Ripped His Flesh
Here's a classic bit of TV -- a March 1986 "Crossfire" episode that pitted reactionary clown John Lofton against conservative musician/composer Frank Zappa. Topic: Obscenity in music videos. The two are flanked by Robert Novak and Ol' Tom Braden, the former CIA man who played "the left" on "Crossfire" way back when.
Watch Lofton and Novak go right for the (what else?) incest button. Watch Zappa swat them down. Watch Braden imply, between brief naps, that he doesn't masturbate.
Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson got nuthin' on these guys.

Exploring Inequality in Europe
Diverging Income and Employment Opportunities in the Crisis
Edited by Martin Heidenreich
Europe has become a dominant frame for the generation, regulation and perception of social inequalities. This trend was solidified by the current economic crisis, which is characterized by increasing inequalities between central and peripheral countries and groups. By analysing the double polarization between winners and losers of the crisis, the segmentation of labour markets and the perceived quality of life in Europe, this book contributes to a better understanding of patterns and dynamics of inequality in an integrated Europe.
Show Summary Details
Chapter 9: The European integration process and the social consequences of the eurozone crisis
Jenny Preunkert
AbstractThis chapter discusses whether the conditions imposed by the eurozone bailout funds have contributed to the social problems Southern European Member States and Ireland are facing. Two answers are possible. The first one proposes that the euro rescue funds have focused on the fiscal and economic side of the crisis while ignoring the social problems so far. The second scenario assumes that the European crisis management has defined the social problems as political challenges and therefore supported the national social policy measures to tackle the negative social developments. The analysis shows that the social problems have been recognized within the European crisis policy, however up to now social security systems have been treated mainly as a cost factor that has to be reduced. National assistance has been demanded only in terms of programmes for particular groups.

Mercedes is promising 'S-class levels' of ride comfort from the second-generation Mercedes GL luxury off-roader, which has been unveiled at the New York motor show.
The seven-seater has been re-engineered in a bid to raise its competitiveness against the likes of Range Rover and Bentley's forthcoming SUV.
The new GL is 5120mm long, 2141mm wide and 1850mm high, making it slightly larger than its predecessor in each dimension. The 3075mm wheelbase remains the same as the previous version.
A new, more rigid body, better insulation, an improved chassis and enhancements to the powertrain have contributed to improvements in the GL's NVH characteristics.
Almost 100kg has been slashed from the kerb weight, partly by using aluminium alloy for the bonnet, wings and axle links, a new acoustic windscreen, a magnesium cross member and electric steering and parking brake systems.
Power for the GL350 BlueTec 4Matic comes from a three-litre V6 diesel or a 4.6-litre V8 petrol, mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Both engines are more powerful, but also offer fuel consumption that's almost 20 per cent lower than the outgoing model.
The GL-class is expected to reach the UK towards the end of this year.

Greece's economic instability has become the Western world's longest-running monetary crisis. Will Germany allow the EU to keep propping up Greece's unstable financial system? Will the country leave the eurozone? Will such a departure, if it occurs, unravel the idea of "Europe"? All valid questions. But behind them stands another equally profound social and political crisis that has made Greece the weak man of Europe.
Since the restoration of democracy in 1974, the country's political system could be described as bipolar, with two parties, the center-right New Democracy and the center-left Pasok (Panhellenic Socialist Movement) dominating the political scene. However in 2012, during the first election that took place after the economic crisis, an upsurge of discontent fed an extremism that fundamentally altered the Greek party system and the country's political life itself. The far-left Syriza (Coalition of the Radical Left) marked an electoral breakthrough, gaining 26.89 percent of the votes cast, only 3 percent behind New Democracy. On the opposite end of the political spectrum, the far-right Anel (Independent Greeks), a splinter party from New Democracy formed in 2012, received 7.5 percent. And most disturbing, the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party moved from the fringes to receive almost 7 percent, translating into 18 seats in the Greek Parliament.
This trend intensified in the parliamentary elections of January 2015, which resulted in the formation of a far left–far right coalition government between Syriza and Anel. Syriza attracted 36.34 percent of the Greek vote, gaining 149 seats, just two seats short of forming a majority government. Anel received 4.8 percent of the vote, translating into 13 seats. Golden Dawn came third with 6.28 percent of the vote, marginally lower than in 2012, but an indication that its support remains constant despite the fact that its leading members were imprisoned during the time of the election, facing indictment for the murder of an anti-fascist rapper, Pavlos Fyssas, and for "forming a criminal organization." The party also did little campaigning.
During the July 2015 referendum on whether Greece should accept the terms and conditions of the international bailout package, these three extreme parties, all of them elected on an anti-austerity platform that emphasized the "independence, dignity, and sovereignty" of the Greek nation, supported the "No" position, helping it gain a landslide victory. It was clear that the traditional left-versus-right alignment of Greek politics had been altered and that the center could no longer hold.
Since the eruption of the eurozone crisis in late 2009, Greece has plunged into deep recession. Austerity measures increased taxes on income and property, sales taxes rose from 19 percent to 23 percent, and the tax-free threshold for income was lowered significantly. All sectors of the population suffered, especially the middle class. Homeowners were targeted by large increases in property tax, causing many to lose their homes. Salaries, especially public-sector salaries and pensions, were significantly reduced, in some cases as much as 50 percent. The Greek government abolished the two extra monthly salaries given each year, known as the 13th and 14th salaries. Public investment was cut and subsidies for local government were reduced along with spending for education, health, and other welfare benefits. Unemployment, which stood at 9.6 percent in 2009, rose to 17.9 in 2011 and 27.5 in 2013.
As the crisis progressed, Greek citizens increasingly lost their trust in the system. They saw the government as highly unstable as well as inefficient, doubting its ability to provide public services and to enforce law and order. As the state became increasingly perceived as unable to limit the socioeconomic impact of the crisis on individual citizens, the legitimacy of the system was called into question. What was discredited was not only the ability of the government to formulate sound economic policy, but the very foundation of Greece's post-dictatorship era.
Those who questioned the ability of the state to deliver on the basic social contract were not only the marginalized sectors of the population, but also the large middle class, which during the 1980s had ridden the growth of the public sector to expansion and prosperity. Its disaffiliation from the "system" showed the unplumbed depths of the crisis and resulted in the rise of anti-establishment parties of the right and the left.
These parties gained support on their pledge of providing an alternative vision for Greece based on national pride and defiant antagonism against the status quo. To an extent, the left-right divide in Greek politics was replaced by a pro-anti memorandum divide, expressing itself in fierce argumentation over whether to resolve the crisis within the confines of the eurozone or whether to reject European membership in order to maintain national pride and national dignity. The far right and far left, so different in every other respect, collaborated in deepening this division through their common Euroskepticism and fervent nationalism.
The most extreme of these extreme parties is Golden Dawn, a fascist and more specifically a neo-Nazi party. It is a pan-nationalist, authoritarian, statist, and militarist group that yearns to cleanse the nation of enemies both internal (political dissidents) and external (the EU, the IMF, immigrants, and foreigners). The party rejects liberalism and socialism and endorses an all-powerful state premised on "popular sovereignty." In its manifesto, Golden Dawn states that membership in the party requires the acceptance of the following principles: a state whose only ideology and authentic revolutionary movement is nationalism; the rejection of any authority that perpetuates societal decline; the nationalization of all social and economic institutions; and the belief in the continuation of the "Greek race" from antiquity to the modern day.
The starting point for Golden Dawn is the social decay of "Hellenism." The country is in "ruins" because of the incompetence of Greek politicians who have "destroyed the nation." Golden Dawn sees itself at the helm of a movement to purify the Greek nation from social decadence associated with corruption, deception, partisan interests, and kleptocracy and to lead the country back to its ancient golden era. It is the party's calling to lead the Greek people in a difficult struggle toward "Virtue and self-improvement." This can only be materialized through a government with a "socio-political vision aligned with the principles of Nationalism and popular socialism."
Golden Dawn envisages itself as the embodiment of the collective will: "The Nationalist Socialist leader does not stand above or beside the people, he is not part of the people, he is the People." Such a leader incarnates the secret "calling of the blood," and his ultimate goal is full control of state power in the name of the nation.
For Golden Dawn, representative democracy is "the child of capitalism," an instrument through which capitalism dominates the masses. For this reason, the party condemns liberal democracy and its institutions, and glorifies fascist regimes and personalities, portraying them as heroes for purifying their nations and epitomizing the will of the people. The ideal regime for Greece, according to Golden Dawn, is the August 4th Regime, led by Ioannis Metaxas from 1936 to 1941, a time when "Greece became an anti-communist, anti-parliamentarian, and totalitarian state with an agricultural and working class base, and hence an anti-plutocratic state."
Golden Dawn's key goal is eliminating political divisions and cleansing the nation of outsiders. Communists are identified as internationalists who seek the annihilation of the Greek nation. Contributing to this ethnocide are also Greece's other external enemies, which include immigrants as well as "foreign loan sharks, contractors, pimps, and media owners."
Golden Dawn seeks to achieve regeneration through violence. Committed to "blood, struggle, and sacrifice," the party's members see themselves as "street soldiers" fighting for the nationalist cause. Violence is at the heart of Golden Dawn's philosophy; democracy is a bourgeois construct useful only as a means for achieving its own abolition. Golden Dawn is also known for its paramilitary activities. Known as "battalions," "Phalanx," "Golden Eagles," or "Protesilaus," the party's paramilitary groupings have a hierarchical structure, receive army-like training, and are in possession of various weapons. They also offer protection. This paramilitary activity came under investigation after the murder of Pavlos Fyssas and during the subsequent imprisonment of Golden Dawn members in late 2013 and their ongoing trial.
Golden Dawn promotes the superiority of Greek descent, Greece's unique language and ancient heritage, and the glorification of struggle against outsiders whom it portrays as culturally inferior. But what makes Golden Dawn fascist, rather than merely a patriotic or nationalist group, is its commitment to "palingenesis," or national rebirth. Like other fascist movements before it, Golden Dawn sees itself as having the unique mission to lead the nation into a phoenix-like transformation in which it will rise from the ashes of the old, degenerate social order.
On the other side of the spectrum is Syriza, formed in 2004 as an alliance between Synaspismos and 11 other left-wing factions. The party entered the Greek political scene as a contender in 2012 exhibiting all features of a party in radical opposition. Previously marginalized, it put forward an anti-establishment agenda whose main goal was to renegotiate austerity at any cost. However, as the party came closer to power, it started to moderate its position in a bid to attract broader electoral support. According to 2015 exit poll data, the party managed to attract similar levels of support not only from the expected unemployed and public sector employees but also from a large number of private sector employees, the self-employed, and business owners. Similarly, the party's base includes left-wing voters, as expected, but also voters from right-wing Anel and, to a lesser extent, from Golden Dawn.
Syriza's electoral campaign emphasized the de-humanizing effect of austerity and the need to restore public sector jobs, expand on welfare spending, and halt privatizations. Indeed, the growth of Syriza's support basis has been explicitly linked to its ability to attract the middle class, whose position has been significantly affected by austerity.
Syriza's policies have been dictated by a fundamental antithesis: on the one hand its commitments to anti-austerity, and on the other the constraints facing a governing party. To this add the contradictory mandate of the Greek public, which overwhelmingly supports the euro while at the same time rejecting the bailout agreements and their austerity measures. A poll held in early July 2015 found that although the "no" camp was relatively strong, at the same time 74 percent of Greek people were in favor of remaining in the eurozone. These dilemmas are also reflected within the ranks of Syriza itself, with then Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the more moderate sections of the party supporting further renegotiations with Greece's lenders while the "rebel left" has adopted a more staunch position that would not be opposed to a potential return to the drachma. Post-referendum, these divisions within the party have been made increasingly apparent, threatening the stability of the government and potential party splits.
The results of the July 2015 referendum indicate the impact that austerity has had, and the appeal of a populist, nationalist anti-establishment rhetoric on large sections of Greece's middle class. While the most obvious outcome of the referendum was to give the government a popular mandate to renegotiate a deal on terms more acceptable for Greeks, its more profound effect was to further polarize an already deeply divided society, with the danger of creating uncertain conditions that could serve to aid forces such as Golden Dawn. History has shown that societies that in the past opted for extreme measures during crises eventually found themselves plunged into economic disaster, isolation, dictatorship, and totalitarianism. What is especially portentous for Greece is that not only the dispossessed and socially isolated are voting on the basis of anger and vengeance, but that these dispossessed now contain large sections of a middle class that is willing to sip the toxic brew being distilled by the forces of extremism.

An Update From Artez Photography – The Dominguez Family In Nanaimo, BC
November 2nd, 2015
A few days ago I heard from Mia Dominguez, the Mom/CEO of Artez Photography Corporation in Nanaimo, BC. Artez Photography is a very successful family run real estate photography and video company in Nanaimo. I've been following their success for many years. Here's a post where we first described their success back in 2011. Mia and Alberto founded Artez Photography back in 2007 after moving from Columbia, South America in 2000.
In Mia's recent update she said:
This year we have experienced incredible growth in our company. Photography continues to be our bread and butter, but video and particularly lifestyle video is becoming very popular.
After doing real estate video for quite some time, we decided to take things to the next level and started creating lifestyle videos which have been a huge success!
Exploring the possibilities of lifestyle video has been a great adventure that we would like to pursue for a long time. For this purpose, we have launched this promo reel that will give a taste of what Artez is all about and where we are heading.
Franchising Artez continues to be a very appealing idea but it's been quite challenging to move forward due to the volume of work that we are experiencing. I suppose that those are called "growing pains". Maybe next year will be the year to open Artez franchises.
I find Mia and Alberto's success very inspiring! Their new promo reel does a great job of presenting their talents and the hard work that has brought them success. Mia pointed out that the family works together so closely that Mia and Alberto are going off to travel the world this month while the kids will stay home and run the business. Congratulations to the Dominguez family in their real estate photography/video success and best wishes for achieving their next steps!

When Sony Online Entertainment-developed Free Realms – a free-to-play MMO RPG game – was released for the PC back in 2009, a PlayStation 3 version was meant to have launched alongside it. However, SOE decided to delay the PS3 release, in order for them to offer players a little bit more.
Up until now there has been no mention of a PS3 launch date, but gamers knew that it would be arriving eventually. Well it looks like that time has finally come, as according to Adam Wolfe at playstationlifestyle.net, the free-to-play MMO has now been given a PS3 release date.
There isn't too much of a wait for PlayStation 3 owners either, as the Free Realms game is due to launch on March 29th. The game isn't like most other MMOs, as it enables gamers to forgo the combat and instead concentrate more on things such as mini-games, exploration and social networking.
By offering the other gameplay mechanics, as well as the combat side, SOE hopes that the Free Realms game – which is set in a fantasy-themed world called Sacred Grove – appeals to a wider range of gamers. Have you been waiting to hear about a PS3 release date for the Free Realms title?
To learn a little bit more about the upcoming PS3 game, you can check out PSLS's recent interview with the game's lead designer Stephen Bokkes.

What's in a name?
A person who is ambidextrous is considered to be equally skilled with both hands. So why Ambidexter Management?
One of the dilemma's organizations face is that they need to be equally skilled in two opposing mind sets:
- On a day-to-day basis they need to run the operation of the organization
- On a long-term basis they need to change the organization to adapt it to changing circumstances
In other words, they need to have Ambidexter Management.
It is where the hands meet that things start to happen!
How it all started
It started in 2003 in the Netherlands when five project managers, all working for the same firm, got together to discuss their future and how to make the most of it. As you can imagine, ideas flowed freely. As with any brainstorming session, when it came to making decisons and agreeing on the destinations and the route it was not as easy. In the end they all agreed to let the matter rest for a while. But the seeds were sown!
Out of the original five that got together two, Arie den Ouden and Kees Steijsiger, started Ambidexter Management BV in the Netherlands. The other three all pursued other goals. One started his own company, one changed jobs and one moved to Canada.
When Erik Hamburger arrived in Canada with his family he took a full year off to get oriented and take a breather from a very hectic couple of years. He had stayed in close contact with Arie and Kees and slowly the idea evolved to go international with Ambidexter Management. And thus Ambidexter Management Inc. was born in 2005.
Ambidexter Management Inc.
We're not your typical company with a head office, a CEO, a bunch of partners, directors and invoice-generating worker bees.
Although that model works well for a lot of companies and the people they employ, we did not want to go that route. We are a network of like-minded people who take pride in helping their clients getting things done. Like-minded does not mean we always agree on everything. Quite often we don't! But there are a few things we all agree on:
- You reap what you sow!
- If you don't sow you won't reap at all
- If you don't take care of what you sow you may reap but not as much or of as good a quality as possible
Ambidexter Management Inc. is part of the Ambidexter group of companies with offices in Canada and The Netherlands.
We are part of a large network of highly qualified and known institutions, companies and individuals which makes it possible for us to always find the right knowledge, experience and expertise for you.
Associates and partners of Ambidexter Management Inc. have worked on or are working on projects for the following clients (in alphabetical order)

PHOENIX – The Arizona Corporation Commission is considering sweeping reforms that would lead the nation in clean energy usage and storage, Commissioner Andy Tobin said Tuesday.
The plan presented by Tobin calls for 80 percent of Arizona's electricity generation to come from clean energy by 2050, along with the goal of having 3,000 megawatts of energy storage deployed by 2030.
"Living in a desert like we do, our goal has to be to address peak demand," Tobin said. "Reducing usage in these peak windows will save Arizonans millions of dollars, but we also think we can do it in a way that is clean and maintains grid reliability."
Arizona's Energy Modernization Plan sets a path to clean energy by reviewing the state's current energy policies, including the Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff.
Those policies have made Arizona a national leader in the adoption of renewable energy, but Tobin says it's time for an update.
"It's no longer enough to just install solar panels as quickly as possible," he said. "We need to pair these resources with new technology to maximize their effectiveness and maintain stability."
Expanding energy storage gives Arizona the opportunity to capture low-priced energy during slow hours, and reinject that energy back into the grid during peak rate periods.
The 3,000-megawatt storage target, by far the largest such goal in the United States, is made possible by storage markets that have recently seen drastic improvements in technology along with falling costs, Tobin noted.
The full Commission will discuss and consider the policy at its open meeting Tuesday and Wednesday.
Details on the plan, including guiding principles and policies, can be found at www/azcc.gov/energyplan.

NEW DELHI — A U.N. special envoy arrived in Myanmar on Saturday for talks with the country's military rulers, whose ruthless crackdown on anti-government protesters has sparked international outrage.
NEW DELHI — A U.N. special envoy arrived in Myanmar on Saturday for talks with the country's military rulers, whose ruthless crackdown on anti-government protesters has sparked international outrage.
The streets of Myanmar's main city, Yangon, were virtually empty of demonstrators for the first time in nearly two weeks and devoid of the gunfire and chaos that marked three days of violent suppression by soldiers and police.
Security forces continued to patrol and seal off parts of the city, including the monasteries whose monks spearheaded the protests.
After landing in Yangon on Saturday afternoon, U.N. envoy Ibrahim Gambari immediately traveled to the new capital of Naypyidaw, about 240 miles to the north, where the generals who rule Myanmar live in relative isolation from the people.
Details of Gambari's schedule were not available, nor was it clear whether he would be allowed to visit Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and pro-democracy leader who has lived under house arrest for most of the last 18 years.
"I expect to meet all the people that I need to meet," Gambari told reporters in Singapore before departing for Myanmar, also known as Burma. He did not elaborate.
In Washington, D. C., Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council at the White House, urged Myanmar's leaders to give Gambari "access to all those he wishes to meet with, including religious leaders as well as Aung San Suu Kyi."
Analysts question how much Gambari, a former foreign minister of Nigeria, can achieve in discussions with an iron-fisted junta that has shown itself impervious to outside pressure.
His mission to Myanmar reflects the growing international concern and anger arising from the generals' brutal clampdown on protesters, in which the government acknowledges that 10 people have been killed. Diplomats and dissident groups estimate the true death toll to be many times that figure, possibility as high as 200.
Some observers have feared a repeat of a 1988 massacre of pro-democracy protesters in which an estimated 3,000 people were killed.
The demonstrations began last month in response to steep hikes in fuel prices but soon became a vehicle for popular anger over 45 years of autocratic military rule. Last week, as many as 100,000 people marched in central Yangon, including a large number of monks, who are of great moral stature in the deeply Buddhist society.
The uneasy quiet on Yangon's streets Saturday, however, suggested that the armed crackdown that began Wednesday might have succeeded in containing the biggest challenge to the military's rule in nearly 20 years.
"Peace and stability has been restored," state-run newspapers said. The authorities had handled the protests "with care, using the least possible force."
Internet connections remained cut off, constricting the flow of photographs and video that had helped galvanize world opinion against the junta.
"The strategy is to neutralize the demonstrators, and they seem to have done that very effectively," said Tim Huxley, executive director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies-Asia.
Human rights organizations and Burmese activist groups in exile have called on leading nations, especially China, Myanmar's traditional ally, to pressure the junta to eschew using force against its opponents. The U.S. has imposed new sanctions on Myanmar, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, one of the few multilateral organizations to which Myanmar belongs, issued a statement expressing its "revulsion" at the bloody crackdown.
But international condemnation, and efforts such as Gambari's visit, will probably have little effect, Huxley said.
"External leverage is extremely limited," he said. "There's been a variety of external pressure over the years — the dramatic approaches including successive U.N. envoys who have made representations and failed, representations in very muted form by fellow members of ASEAN and sanctions imposed by Western countries to varying degrees — and none of them have had significant effect."
