Three South Australian artists, Janine Mackintosh, Peter Syndicas and Stephen Trebilcock, each long term represented artists of Hill Smith Gallery, exhibit together again in a group exhibition to end the year. The exhibition includes new works by the artists inspired by nature and aspects of the unique South Australian landscape.
Mackintosh's latest body of assemblages and sculptures titled Dead to the World pays homage to the trees and plants that have been cleared for development on Kangaroo Island where she resides. "I want to show what is being lost but also show why, because the obliviousness of most of our urbanised society makes the likelihood of investment in change more remote," she explains.
Syndicas travelled to the Flinders Ranges to collect materials for his sculptural forms, titled Imperfection. The work, Birdman, is honed from a rare fossil found in the Flinders Ranges, Stromatolite. "A Stromatolite is the earliest fossil reference to life on earth which is over 660 million years old and quite rare," says Syndicas.
Trebilcock's much admired textural paintings draw heavily on influences from the rural environs. "My new works depict iconic images of native South Australian flora, filling the canvas with organic shapes, colours and impasto texture to convey my passion of the natural environment," says Trebilcock.
Hill Smith Gallery Director, Sam Hill Smith says: "Whilst each of these highly accomplished artists present their own unique style and viewpoint of their environment there is a synergy between them which allows the viewer to appreciate the beauty of the work and respond to questions the artists pose about environment issues and the majesty of nature."

I decided to start a new blog. I've written about my feelings extensively and shared the good and the bad with the world. But I need a new beginning; a place to share all of the happy that is currently filling my life.
What does "stitched" mean?
Stitched is based off one of my favorite Augusten Burroughs quotes.
I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.
So, get ready. Here is life from my point of view – albeit, somewhat flawed occasionally.

Prison on release
After watching the ABC 4corners host a glimpse on the release of 3 males who were released to the real world, with a view that these guys would not return to prison brought back some sad moments in my life.
I was a first time offender, I owned my own company, employed staff, and was a successful athlete, (lucky it was martial arts). going to prison was bad enough, (3yrs) there was heaps of fights stabbing bad bushing's bad rapes, and several hangings, this was a wild wild world one could only adapt or become a victim, yes I did defend myself and others were badly injured, this included stabbing another person (his crime was sexual against another child to me he deserved it). In my three yrs I had lost common emotions, in away that the norm did not apply.
Now come time for release, I was not shown how to deal with the re-entry into the real world, an example: going to the shop and using a card to pay for food, this simple task had sent me over the hill, I went to prison with always having money in my hand, yet here I was 3yrs later & I had to ask my unity to help me pay for food at woollies, to most this is a joke, but people must understand the norm will not ever count in jail, and yes still to this day being in crowed places I start to feel like a knife is going to come through the crowd, and I am on edge all the time.
I will advise of other points but this story took me, in general a person released from prison will return if the "norm needs are not updated and safely Incorporated into general living.

COVENTRY and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce is being reshaped in order to improve the services it has on offer.
The regionalisation of Business Link services has led to a restructuring of the Chamber and the support services provided to its members.
Stuart Linnell, who has been elected chairman of the Coventry branch of the Chamber, highlighted their successes at an annual meeting at the Oak Tree Court, Binley Business Park, Harry Weston Way, Coventry.
Members were told about how Chamber services will be reshaped.
One plan is to increase the number of site visits and networking events during the next year.
Mr Linnell, who succeeds Darren Jones as chairman, said: "The branch is thriving and has more of a role to play than ever before.
"There are many key issues on which we can lobby - such as the future of Ryton - while the city centre is developing at an enormous rate and we need to make sure that the changes help business prosper.
"We will be working very hard to make sure the interests of our members are represented fully."
Alan Durham, director of marketing, membership and international trade, added: "We will be changing the way we offer our business support.
"But the core of our work won't change, we will always be picking up on local issues and lobbying local MPs and local authorities to influence their decisions on behalf of our members."

Building Community: Still More Updates
So I found a neighborhood that feels really established and safe. I feel like we could go for walks in the evening or on weekends, and we could ride our bikes to the park. And get this: there's a 1/2 acre for sale for cheap, cheap, cheap. And it backs up to a creek bed.
Let me continue listing out the pros: it's near the highway for easy access around Austin. It's on the east side, which means I would be creating a school for my own neighborhood and community, and Henry's friends from school would live very close to us.
I need to switch over to bullet points. They make me feel more organized and methodical. I apologize for repeating myself:
- It's a very good deal.
- It's 0.5 acres.
- Easy access to major roadways.
- In East Austin where I want to position my school.
- Henry's friends could come over and play in the neighborhood.
- It's on a cul-de-sac (the perfect place to learn how to ride a bike!).
- We would see a ton of green out all of our windows.
- We could garden in the front of our house.
- The park and library are near by.
- We could go for evening and weekend walks and feel safe.
- We could sit out on our porch and see forest.
- Whole Foods is about 15 minutes away without traffic.
Here are the downsides:
- It's close to a major highway, so I'm worried about the pollution. I've read about increased heart disease and autism linked to living near a highway (not to mention other things like asthma, etc.). My hope is that all the trees in the area would help mitigate the effect, at least a little.
- We would not be able to build the community we envisioned because it's not likely that the acre that is for sale next to it has very much buildable area. My hope, however, is that we would have plenty of community very near to us in the form of friends from the school community. This community would be like a more traditional neighborhood and less like an intimate and interdependent cohousing neighborhood.
- The view out the back includes overlooking some power lines.
- Even though it's a lot of land, it's not a lot of nature that you can navigate because the foliage is very dense. I'm wondering, though, what it would be like to get a landscape designer out there to take a look at it.
You may be wondering what happened to the idea I wrote about last week. Well, I started worrying that we couldn't make it work financially. I didn't think we could afford to purchase such a big parcel by ourselves and then have enough money to build on it and bring utilities to the house. And although I LOVED the idea of having a little pocket neighborhood of houses, I worried about the larger neighborhood around it and not feeling like we could walk anywhere and feel safe.
Decisions, decisions!

Niesce Upshaw
One of the major factors of modern marketing is the development of an effective marketing mix. The marketing mix is made of the four P's, Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. It is these four factors that are the groundwork for any business and often times is the major factor on whether a new business will succeed or fail. To really understand the marketing mix it is best to break down the 4 parts and see what makes up each element.
The first part of the marketing mix is the product. This is the good or service that the company offers to potential customers. It is not only the actual product but can also include the other benefits of the product such as warranties or other included features. For example Chevrolet sells the Tahoe in many different models which include various options but it also includes a comprehensive warranty that is also a part of the product. Many companies today also include a service plan to further enhance the product that they offer to their customers.
Price is the one element of the marketing mix that the business can have the most influence over. This can be changed very quickly and also can change as often as needed. The overall price of an item is affected by many factors which can include cost of the raw materials, cost to produce the product, overhead of the business, and also the cost associated with marketing and advertising of the product. With all of these factors and with the changes in the economy, it is very easy to see why price can change so often. Price also can be a major factor in customer's purchasing so there is a very fine balance of profitability and top line sales that must always be kept in mind when looking at the price portion of the marketing mix. Also included in the price would be various discounts, specials, and possible payment or financing options. For example most major retailers now offer a store credit card to entice customers to use their store and will give special discounts when you use their company credit card or financing.
The third and probably most stable of the marketing mix is place. Most of the parts of the place are set up early on and will not change that often. Place can include not only the place where the product is sold but also where it is stored, produced, and also the means of transportation that is used to deliver the product. This can often include partnerships with third party businesses that perform many of these functions for the company selling the product. For example automobile manufacturer's partner with independent dealers to sell the products, suppliers for many of the parts they use, and often times a third party logistics company to deliver the product nationwide to the dealerships they use. They support all of the other industries very heavily as they are key to the success of the end product they are trying to sell to consumers.
The last part of the marketing mix is promotion. This is the area that most people relate with marketing as it includes the advertising of the product, public relations dealing with the product, as well as various sales promotions that are used to get the word out about the product the company intends to sell. This is often the most visible of all the marketing mix and its sole purpose is to inform the public about the product and entice them to purchase the product that the company is offering.
Now that the four parts of the marketing mix have been identified it is easiest to relate this to a real world company so specific details can be given that show how the marketing mix all is related and how each one of the four P's play a role in a company selling the products they are offering to their consumers.
One company that uses the 4 areas of the marketing mix as part of their marketing strategy is Steve's Blinds and Wallpaper. Steve's Blinds and Wallpaper is a retailer of custom made...

I get asked a lot via comments and messages on fB Messenger,about some of the basics of fly fishing, fly tying and probably most, Czech Nymphing or bugging. I think here is a common misconception that it is complicated or is some sort of angling "black art". It is neither. Nor does it need any specialist equipment. You can , if you choose to pursue it as a regular method, go and buy a specific rod and reel, special lines indicators etc but at the outset, if you have a standard river fishing outfit, it is likely it will be more than adequate to get you started and take your first steps into bugging.
Is it true fly-fishing? Some will say not, but it uses tied, artificial flies uses a fly rod and can require the angler to "match the hatch" or at least the river residents. What it does do, is gets you out the arm chair and on the river bank in winter pursuing what I think is my favourite fish, the Grayling.
As I have been asked so often, and because a fishing day for me, needs to be broken up with something other than fishing to give my joints a rest, I have made this video to help those getting started. Yeah it is quite long, about 25 minutes, and no it is not action packed, its quite "talkie" but hopefully it helps iron out some of those puzzling questions if you are new to the method.
Undoubtedly there will be many experienced anglers who will say I am talking rubbish or that something I am saying is wrong . That's fine too: Keep it to yourself as this is to help beginners, and anything else you feel should be said, go make your own video! I am trying to offer advice in an unconfusing a way as possible. Alternatives, refinements and special gear, can wait until you have taken your first steps out on the river in winter!
What you will need is decent clothing suitable for cold water wading in winter and a sense of humour as winter fishing does bring its inevitable blanks!
Much of what's is used for regular main season trout fishing will be fine but make sure you have plenty of layers, avoid cottons and denim; fleece and nylon or technical fabrics are far more suitable, and something waterproof for the weather conditions and a decent hat for your head. These I would say are not optional. I would also strongly recommend a wading staff, and some sort of life preserver, especially if fishing alone. Finally always have a change of clothing in the car and a hot drink, as a wet ride home sitting in a puddle of river water in winter is no fun!
Most of all enjoy. and remember there are no hard and fast rules on method and set up!
I am in the process of making a follow on video on the method and set up known as braid fishing. Hopefully this will be on the site late next weekend.

education/archive/2018/01/the- false-promises-of-worker- retraining/549398/
Worker retraining is a classic chicken-or-egg dilemma. Employers don't want to expand or relocate without the availability of an already-skilled workforce. Workers who have been laid off through corporate downsizing or because their jobs were shipped to a foreign country don't want to dedicate the time and effort needed to go through retraining without the pledge of a sure-fire job with the same or a better paycheck.
So when you plug real people into the easy fixes designed by policy wonks, the situation suddenly becomes more complicated: Older workers who haven't seen the inside of a classroom for decades are frightened by going back to school. Men don't want to train for the jobs that are left in town, particularly in health care, because of the stigma of being employed in occupations traditionally filled by women—a phenomena that Lawrence Katz, a Harvard University labor economist, has frequently called an "identity mismatch," rather than a skills mismatch. And in a country founded by people on the move, unemployed workers are unwilling to relocate to find work.
For many dislocated workers—or employees who were terminated and are unlikely to return to that job or even that industry—it's often easier to collect unemployment or other cash benefits that come along with training and then either remain jobless or patch together work that doesn't require learning a new skill or acquiring a college degree. But that's not a recipe for sustainable careers or even long-term work. As a result of the 2008 recession, the U.S. shed 1.6 million manufacturing jobs requiring just a high-school diploma; only 200,000 returned.
The fastest-growing jobs in the country require training and education beyond high school. Between now and 2024, according to Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce, the United States will be home to some 16 million openings for middle-skill jobs—those that require more education than a high-school diploma but typically not a bachelor's degree. Some 40 percent of them pay more than $55,000 a year; another 14 percent pay more than $80,000. The National Skills Coalition has found that these jobs in sectors such as computer technology, health care, construction, and high-skill manufacturing account for 53 percent of the labor market, but only 43 percent of middle-skill workers are sufficiently trained.
"The U.S. faces a serious skills gap," said Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta in June when announcing the administration's executive actions to expand training opportunities, mostly through apprenticeships. Referring to the discrepancy between what employers need and what skills workers have, he pointed out that the U.S. has 6 million jobs—1 million in the health-care sector alone—the most since the Labor Department started keeping track since last decade.
Any number of the "fastest growing cities" are expensive to live in, expensive to move to, and have niche markets that can fizzle by the time any number of people have moved there. I don't even really remember the dot com boom being a boom I could really participate in much. I'm not exactly counting the month or so I spent in a warehouse packing thousands of items into small boxes. That was worse than season after season of work in unionized vegetable canneries because there was no stability to it and the pay wasn't that great. It was for a company that was considered one of the "it" start-ups but it was mainly a lame two months and trundling off to L&I.
But the prospect of continuing education or worker retraining was generally also a dead end. There are any number of reasons for that, I suppose, but some of it was that I got one of those communications degrees (journalism) that was already a gutted job market. Had I tried to get a degree in biblical studies it would have been worse, or if I'd done an English major probably. I'm not what I'd call the best interview in job-seeking terms. Though I perhaps have a capacity for politesse I'm not sure I could say it's characteristic of me. In the old days when I had a certain church affiliation I got told that I could be brutally confrontational in online interaction. I didn't feel like I was being an especially cold-blooded sort but it's never just about how you perceive yourself. At any rate, my acquired pessimism about the obscene level of debt college students get for liberal arts degrees on the one hand and the dead end of the job market if you don't happen to have translatable skills is what it is. The old axiom that "it's not what you know, it's who you know" never seemed true. It's never just what you know or who you know. It's what you know and who you know in exactly the right, mysterious combination that works for the right people or you just don't land a job that's something to write home about.
If someone were to make overtures of generating or restoring or reclaiming the kinds of jobs that have been lost in the contemporary economy, regardless of whether or not that person would be capable of doing so, or with the help of this or that set of people in a cabinet or advisory role, you might think that people might give that candidate a shot, even if maybe it's not the greatest idea.

Update on London cop Michael Graham
His trial was mentioned here on June 14
A sadistic police officer who was recorded repeatedly raping a woman after she installed a sleep app on her iPhone has been kicked out of the force.
PC Michael Graham, 49, was jailed for 16 years for his campaign of physical and sexual abuse against the victim on his houseboat in Uxbridge, west London.
He controlled his victim for months by telling her no one would believe her because he was a Met Police officer.
Booting him out of the police force, Assistant Commissioner Helen King praised the victim's 'courage and resilience' in reporting Graham to his colleagues.
At trial, the court heard how the officer tied the victim up, slapped her and choked her and also boasted that he would end up killing her.
He also branded her a 'slut' and a 'c***'.
Sound recordings of two of his attacks were captured on the victim's iPhone and were played to jurors during the Old Bailey trial.
Graham, a former marine who saw action in Yugoslavia, insisted that her repeated screams and shouts of 'No' were just part of their sexual fantasies and role-playing.
He was convicted of seven counts of rape and one count of sexual assault over a nine-month period from 24 December 2013 after trial at the Old Bailey.
Graham was cleared of two specimen counts of rape which each alleged he raped the complainant on at least 10 occasions.
Assistant Commissioner King said: 'The conviction of a police officer is always a serious matter and in this case is very clearly a breach of professional standards so serious that dismissal is the only option.
'At a time when much work has been done to improve the confidence of victims to report sexual offences to the police, the negative impact of an officer being convicted of rape and sexual assault in these circumstances is very obvious.
'His actions have very clearly brought the police service into disrepute.
'It is immensely to the victim's credit that she had the courage and resilience to report these matters and see them through the traumatic process of a trial to achieve PC Graham's conviction.'
He added: 'These convictions are so serious, as is the impact on the victim and on public confidence more broadly, that there is only one appropriate outcome in this case. That is for PC Graham to be dismissed without notice.'
Jurors were told that Graham became increasingly violent and aggressive after giving up cigarettes and using the drug Champix.
The victim said she did not initially go to police because he told her: 'I'm a police officer, I can do what I want, I'll tell people you are mad.' She said she finally decided to make a statement in September 2014 after he made repeated threats to kill her.
The woman told officers: 'I would just say "No I don't like it. I don't want you to hurt me". 'But he just did it anyway. He made threats if I didn't do it. I was absolutely terrified of him. 'I knew I had to leave because he is going to kill me next.'
The victim started using the iPhone sleep app to record Graham's increasingly aggressive rants and captured two separate sex attacks.
Graham, who served in the borough of Hounslow, can be clearly heard slapping her as she cries out in pain and repeatedly tells him 'no'. When she tells him: 'Don't hurt me', he replied: 'I like hurting you.' Later he says: 'I am going to beat you to death in a minute I can see it coming.'
She is also recorded begging: 'No please, please no', followed by the sound of a slap. Graham tells her: 'I'm going to kill you one day, do you think?'
Jailing Graham for 16 years, Judge Peter Rook said: 'You were domineering and controlling, it seems you obtained sexual gratification from arguing with her, punishing her and committing violent non-consensual sexual acts against her.
'It took extreme courage to report the matter to the police, no doubt you thought that you would be able to control her so that she would never do so.
'She felt you could do what you wanted because no one would ever believe her - you've caused untold and continuing psychological damage.'
The former officer was also barred from contacting the victim on his eventual release.
Graham initially denied hitting or tying up the woman but later claimed that he was too embarrassed to reveal details of his sex life to police officers, and claimed he had erectile dysfunction.
After being played the recordings, he said it 'appeared bad' but insisted that was how they had sex.
Graham, of Poole, Dorset, was convicted of seven counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. He was dismissed from the Met Police without notice.

And what does Premier Jean Charest (of the Quebec "Liberal" Party) have to say about it? The law is the law.
VIENNA, Austria -- The Montreal-area municipality of Beaconsfield must conform with Quebec's language laws on its street signs, Premier Jean Charest said Thursday.This isn't the first time the Quebec Censorship Boardtm has threatened Quebecers for ridiculous infractions. Every time it happens, the premier of the day says something like what Premier Charest said yesterday about how the law must be applied reasonably.
"Like all citizens, whether they are businesses, institutions or individuals, everyone must respect the laws,'' Charest said in Austria, where he is in the midst of a two-week official visit to Europe.
The largely anglophone municipality, which demerged from Montreal last January, has refused to change street names to give them a more French flavour. Consequently, the city is fighting the wishes of Quebec's language office and a provincial commission on place names.
Beaconsfield's council recently voted unanimously against 200 proposed changes that would conform with French-language charter.
Some of the signs are only in English while others are bilingual but fail to be predominantly French as is required by law.
Municipal officials say the changes are too expensive.
In a situation as delicate as language, flexibility and diplomacy by government agencies are necessary, Charest said.
"When a situation like this comes up, we must be able to talk to each other to find reasonable solutions within a reasonable amount of time.''
Ultimately, however, the premier said the municipality must conform with the law.
"I'm not saying that it must be applied stupidly and unreasonably, but it must be respected.''
The Gazette
Yet none of the premiers consider that the problem could be resolved by (1) clarifying the law so petty bureaucrats can't inject their own interpretations into the laws, and (2) modifying the law so that it is more reasonable and we avoid situtaions where Quebec towns with "bilingual status" are forced to remove their bilingual signs.
And just because I can, here is a photo of Katharine McPhee in that yellow dress.

I simply finished watching the popular Disney movie, "Frozen", for the other time. The media hype surrounding the movie was obnoxious and everybody was saying that, "'Frozen' is among the finest movies of all time. " Watching it my new around, it wasn't great; the tavern was set pretty high and my expectations did not meet up to the truth of the movie. Nevertheless after my second time watching it, it has solidified during my brain that this movie is one of the worst Disney has ever produced. watch free movies
Discover actually a funny record surrounding this movie. Walt Disney wanted to make this movie all the way back in 43. "Frozen" was supposed to be Disney's adaptation of the popular fairy adventure, "The Snow Queen", written by Hans Christian Anderson (Get it? Hans, Kristoff, Anna, Sven. Good job, Disney). "The Snow Queen" actually has, what would be Elsa, as the villain. They decided they couldn't create film development company in the forties because they couldn't find a way to modify it to a modern day audience. They tried again in the late 1990s, but the project was abandoned when one of the head animators on the project, Glen Keane, stop. In 2010, they abandoned it again because they still couldn't find a way to help make the story work. Then simply, this year, they finally made the decision on making Anna the younger sister of the Snow Queen, that has been enough for them to create "Frozen".
"Frozen" was taken by Chris Buck (known for "Tarzan") and Jennifer Lee (known for "Wreck-it-Ralph"). The line was established pretty high for me personally seeing as both those movies were well over a standards of a "kid's movie". The history was going to be similar to the fairy tale, but then, Christophe Beck made up the hit song, "Let it Go". The availableness team went crazy; rather than trying to fit the song into the movie, they rewrote the complete storyline and Elsa's entire personality to fit the music. I have never heard about an entire movie being converted to fit one song. Due to this, it's coldly clear that no person could decide on anything in this movie. Since Elsa isn't the antagonist, there really was no real evil force. The Fight it out of Weaselton is lifted to be the particular in the beginning if he states, "Open those gates so I may unlock your secrets and exploit your riches. Performed I say that away loud? " Why do you wish to unlock the secrets and exploit their riches?
The Duke has absolutely no development to the point where he doesn't have a name. He scarcely even gets screen time. So if he isn't very the villain, who is? Well, in the previous 15 minutes of film production company, Anna's future husband, Prince Hans, is helped bring up to be the villain, stating he desires to rule an empire and he can't because of his 12 other brothers. This comes away of absolutely nowhere. Right now there were no hints, no evil glances, no sidebars or monologues, nothing. This individual even provides blankets and hot soup to every person in the land of Airendale. Prince Hans even says, he will protect Airendale because Ould – left him in fee and "will not think twice to protect Airendale from treason" when the Fight it out states he wants to take over. I do not like it when they get so lazy as to just throw in a villain at the previous few minutes because they couldn't actually bring up a true villain. Prince Hans states that he wished to control and this individual was going to get rid of Elsa and all this other crap, but Elsa was just about to be killed and this individual saved her life. For what reason would he save her life if he wished her dead? None of it made sense and it irked me the complete movie.
Frozen recycles cartoon and character models from their previous hit, "Tangled". The main characters, Elsa and Anna, use the same exact model as Rapunzel from "Tangled". This kind of controversy has been huge around the internet, contacting Disney "lazy" and the such. Personally, I was okay with this. Disney is known for taking animations (which is seen here). Even though it was really strange that Elsa and Anna had the same exact face and body structure and the only difference between them were the freckles and their hair, it don't bother me too much. But, throughout the coronation picture, Elsa says to Ould -, "You look beautiful. inches Pretty ironic if you ask me.

Hello! Today's pic is of a wall/fridge calendar I made for the spooky month of October. I love fall & Halloween so I'm very excited it's almost upon us! I'm a big fan of the rain & cold weather so we're coming into my favorite time of year. Whoo hoo!
Anyway, for this calendar project I used paper/cardstock that I bought last year & I can't remember who's it is but I think it might be Heidi Grace. I love using purple & green along with the traditional black & orange Halloween colors. The pumpkin image was cut & printed on my NEW Cricut Imagine machine (so loving this!) & this image is one of the stock images pre-loaded on the machine. The "October" wording was also cut & printed on my Imagine & comes from the Designer's Calendar cartridge. The spider also came from the Designer's Calendar cartridge. The little bat I actually cut out by hand from a sheet of cardstock by Me & My Big Ideas. All the sparkly accents were done with Stickles and/or Smooch.
Well, there we go! I'll see ya'll later with some more projects! Have a fabulous weekend!

CASE: David A. Romero
PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney Donell Slivka, Homicide Unit
District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert announced that 19-year-old David A. Romero was convicted by jury of the first-degree murder of Thu Lan Tran with the special circumstance that the murder was committed in the course of a robbery. The jury also found that Romero used a firearm in the course of that murder.
Thu Lan Tran worked as the office manager for her brother's security business. On June 27, 2014, Romero went into the business and shot Ms. Tran behind the ear, killing her. He then took her laptop bag, which contained cash, paychecks and check books. The owner of a shop across the street saw Romero leave the business carrying the victim's laptop bag. He went to check on Ms. Tran and found her face down on the ground in a pool of blood. He ran to his car to try to locate Romero. He spotted Romero in a van and followed him while calling 911. He was able to get most of the license plate. Sacramento police investigators utilized those partial license plate numbers to identify the van and Romero. At Romero's apartment, police found hidden cash matching the cash taken in the robbery. During questioning, Romero and his girlfriend were left alone and the two whispered to each other about the facts of the murder. In that conversation, Romero stated that the police would have to let him go because there was no evidence as he had burned all of it.
Romero faces a maximum potential sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Sentencing is set for June 19, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Department 16 before the Honorable Marjorie Koller.

Ireland v Scotland – Story of the match
Jacob Stockdale became the first Irishman to score six tries in Five or Six Nations history.
Record-breaking Ireland set up an all-out assault on the NatWest 6 Nations Grand Slam by claiming a 28-8 bonus-point win over Scotland in Dublin.
Jacob Stockdale bagged a brace to become the first Irishman to score six tries in a single campaign in Five and Six Nations history, as Ireland moved within one win of just a third-ever clean sweep.
Conor Murray and Sean Cronin also crossed to secure the bonus-point victory that could even see Joe Schmidt's men claim the Six Nations title with a week to spare.
Unless England could claim a bonus-point win over France in Paris, Ireland would be crowned champions on Saturday night.

Former Ireland number eight Jamie Heaslip hails Joe Schmidt's men.
Championship potentially by the end of the day...Grandslam in touching distance! pic.twitter.com/aPf6T0O9Qy— jamie heaslip (@jamieheaslip) March 10, 2018
Star man – Peter O'Mahony
The TV commentators gave the man-of-the-match prize to Rob Kearney, while Stockdale would be an obvious recipient too after his try double but Ireland would not have won without O'Mahony. His contribution was the most crucial element of Ireland's win. Forget the fact he was replaced before the hour. His breakdown mastery snuffed out Scotland's top threat.
Moment of the match
Ireland had found Scotland a tough nut to crack in the early stages. But once again the visitors frailty on the road came back to haunt them as Peter Horne's intercepted pass handed Stockdale the opening score. Like Ali Price's similar
mistake in Cardiff, it was a needless mistake which left Gregor Townsend's team scrambling to recover. Huw Jones, Stuart Hogg and Peter Horne all had chances to put Scotland into scoring territory but compounded that initial mistake with costly misplaced passes.
More away day blues for Scots
In the 18 years during which the Championship has been contested by six teams, Scotland had managed just six away wins – four in Rome and once each against Wales (2002) and the Irish (2010). Curing that travel sickness against a side that has never lost a home game in the tournament under Joe Schmidt was always likely to be a tough ask. Now it comes down to whether the Irish can overcome England in London for the first time in eight years to decide their bid for the clean sweep.
Ireland take the high road to victory
Joe Schmidt's men gave their opponents all manner of trouble as Johnny Sexton rained bombs down from the sky. Scotland's attempts to build momentum early on faltered as Finn Russell and Ryan Wilson both let high balls spill from their grasp, while Sean Maitland found himself muscled out by Rob Kearney as they tussled for another aerial challenge in the build up to Murray's score.
Who's up next?
England v Ireland, NatWest 6 Nations – March 17

With my laptop all charged up, I'm typing as we're on our way to the airport to pick up the Claytons. David and Pamela are the couple who has answered the call for replacements for us in the SAM Regional Office. Their skills seem to be very close to ours, so the next two weeks' training should go well. The clouds are burning off with the sun coming up; it should be a beautiful fall day! Following the calendar, it has turned to autumn here this week. There are still warm days, but cooler nights and more variables – some mornings are foggy, some have a little rain.
Skype has become our best friend, connecting us 4 times last Tuesday, to get our Spanish lessons and give Mission Coaching sessions. It's hard to imagine what it would have been like to do this a few years ago, without the latest technology!
Constantly in the back of our minds, we're formulating lists of what knowledge and procedures we need to pass along!
Friday, Dan and Pablo completed the installation of the "MacGyver'ed" satellite-dishes-with-kitchen-sieves wifi signal extenders to operate the security camera at Campo 2 (Dos), the vacant property west of this compound.
Evenings, while Dan has been "tinkering", I've
been knitting, finishing up little gifts for our friends here. And
with Friday being quite cool, I decided it was time to start
distributing, at least to my morning co-workers! I gave Mirna and
Luana matching pink scarves – they turned out pretty cute! And I
think Liliana really likes her classy black scarf too.

The compound was well-populated this weekend with 2 different church groups having family retreats. It's fun to watch them enjoying themselves in the central park between meals and services and workshops.
With the school year well in session, it was time also to re-start Escuela Domenical (Sunday School) on Sunday mornings. The bus ministry is strong here and the opening program was outstanding! It was well-rehearsed with an excellent music-and-dance opening! The wooden benches had been pushed up against the walls, creating a perfect dance floor in the center. The program lasted about an hour, with more music and introduction of the "characters" who would be in the weekly skits that demonstrate Bible stories and Christ-like attitudes. All age groups were directed to their classes. The large adult class studied Psalm 1, taught by German – and we're always glad to hear from him, as he speaks distinctly enough for us to understand most of what he's teaching or preaching. Then Pastor Hernan took some time with us, explaining the discipleship and evangelistic purposes of the 2 levels of The Master's Plan curriculum that will be used this year. Maybe we can obtain an English version…
We're still in awe with how God works all "pieces and parts" of our lives and those around us into an intricate woven pattern! People and places, events and incidences – all working together for a precious journey with Him and for His Glory!

August seemed to fly by and as far as stitching was concerned turned out not to be a very productive month. I only managed to complete a few stitches on Landscape. On the other hand from a paper crafting viewpoint it was a very productive month as I completed a canvas, several birthday cards and made a good start on my Christmas cards.
I managed to put another three together yesterday before going into work using the gumdrops from scraps of paper (waste not want not Chris!) Instead of hunting for the jar stamp to put them in I decided to use the swirly die I have from SU to create a candy wreath. I used both the gumdrops and the round candy from yesterday's sheet of paper.

We are often asked "Where is a good place to buy property?".
Giving a useful answer requires more information about your intentions. Are you:
- Buying a home? In this case the most important factors are likely to be your work location, schools, local demographics and features that suit your lifestyle. Expectations for capital growth usually take a back seat.
- Buying an investment? The most important factors should be the predicted capital growth, ability to find a suitable tenant and ease of selling in the future.
Some valuable insights to help home buyers and investors alike are available on www.realestate.com.au. We offer our clients further detail through Residex property reports on specific suburbs and individual properties.
Past history is not always the best indicator for future years. When you have an area under consideration you should investigate the potential impact on property values from upcoming changes. Values could take a leap from improved infrastructure (public transport, shopping centres, schools). There could also be risks to local property values (high density development, rural areas could have a reliance on a single local employer).
Many investors make poor decisions because:
- They want to buy near their home because they "can see the property". The most successful investors don't limit themselves to their neighbourhood.
- They put more value on stamp duty savings from "off plan" purchases than capital growth. Why buy one unit amongst many similar ones?
Home buyers and investors alike can often benefit from a buyer's agent who's job is to understand nuances of the property market.
Contact us for further information, we have plenty of experience to offer.

It doesn't help that I had a great time chatting with some of the other Frag Doll Cadette applicants last night over a Skype-conference call - These ladies are incredible, sweet, and gamer-ific! It was so nice to be able to chat about all things girl and gaming related :-)
I'm seriously considering trying out for one of the PMS clans. Of the few girls that I've met so far, this seems like the perfect place for me to cultivate my skill in FPS's and make some great friends. I'm a little worried that I won't be "good enough" to join, but there's no hurt in trying huh? Plus, I keep surprising myself in the games I'm playing, so perhaps I'm better than I think ;-)
A friend of mine sent me this link about the PlayStation Network being down - I have totally missed this, considering my recent obsession/fight with Xbox Live. But sad times - I hope they're able to fix it soon so we all can get back to the important thing in life: gaming. And if you can, please avoid logging into the PlayStation Network - looks like just logging in will mess with your console and shut it down :-(
My boo just sent me this link, which I found hilarious. Not video game related, but still fun (for all you table-top RPGers out there). Oh, and alternative text FTW. Also, Duck Pin Bowling = super weird.
And finally, here is a link to the latest Frag Doll commercial - now playing on G4TV. Maybe someday, I'll at least get to meet these fantastic women :-D That's all for now!

In four days, Brett Favre's 20 years in the NFL will most likely end, when the Minnesota Vikings play their final game. On Wednesday, the NFL added an ignominious coda to Favre's career, fining Favre $50,000 for lying and failing to cooperate with the league's investigation into graphic photos and suggestive messages he was accused of sending to a woman while both were employed by the Jets in New York 2008.
The NFL said it found no evidence that Favre's behavior toward Jenn Sterger violated league policy about workplace conduct.
"The forensic analysis could not establish that Favre sent the objectionable photographs to Sterger," the league said in a statement. "The review found no evidence to contradict the statements of both Favre and Sterger that they never met in person, nor was there anything to suggest that Sterger engaged in any inappropriate conduct."
The league added:
"However, Commissioner (Roger) Goodell also determined that Favre was not candid in several respects during the investigation, resulting in a longer review and additional negative public attention for Favre, Sterger, and the NFL Commissioner Goodell stated to Favre that if he had found a violation of the league's workplace conduct policies, he would have imposed a substantially higher level of discipline."
The fine represents less than 1 percent of Favre's $16 million salary this season and is less than some of the fines the NFL has handed out in its crackdown this season against helmet-to-helmet hits.
The punishment prompted an angry reaction from Sterger and her lawyer, Joseph R. Conway. Saying that they were "extremely disappointed but not surprised" by the decision, Conway contradicted the league's contention that it had insufficient evidence.
"To the contrary, our evidence and the personal testimony of Ms. Sterger clearly showed a pattern of lewd and offensive behavior by Mr. Favre that lasted all of the 2008 season," Conway said in the statement.
In a telephone interview, Conway said that Sterger had not yet decided whether to pursue further action in the matter. But he rejected speculation that a two-year statute of limitations on bringing a case might have expired Dec. 28 — the second anniversary of the final game of the Jets' 2008 season — because, Conway said, that was not the last date that Favre sent Sterger a message.
The NFL began its investigation in early October, after the website Deadspin.com published the photos and messages it alleged that Favre sent to Sterger in 2008, when he was the Jets' quarterback and she was employed by the team as a game-day hostess. (Deadspin later said it paid $12,000 to an unidentified source to acquire the photos and messages.) Deadspin also reported that Favre had pursued two female massage therapists who worked for the Jets, citing comments by one of the women. The NFL said those allegations could not be substantiated because people with potentially relevant information declined to cooperate.
Sterger did not initially report Favre's contact with her in 2008 because, Conway said Wednesday, she was advised by colleagues in the sports industry from whom she sought advice that such a complaint could damage her career. Once Deadspin published its story, Sterger waited several weeks before agreeing to speak to the NFL for its investigation, raising speculation that she was hoping to reach a financial settlement with Favre in exchange for her silence. That, Conway said, was never the case.
"This wasn't about money," he said Wednesday.
"This is not anything she sought out," Conway said in the telephone interview. "She didn't come forward in '08. She did not want to come forward in 2010. She was forced to do so. This has taken a toll on her. She has lost some employment opportunities. She has been dragged through the mud. It has taken a toll on her, emotionally and financially. She is certainly angry at the way this whole thing has come down."
The NFL, which has been criticized for allowing the investigation to drag until the end of the season — thus making the possibility of a suspension that might have ended Favre's consecutive starts streak moot — said the investigation took so long because it had difficulty arranging to speak with certain people, and because of the time required to retrieve and review stored electronic records, and for Goodell to meet personally with both Favre and Sterger — who last met with Goodell in New York on Dec. 16.
The NFL said its investigation included an analysis of publicly available reports, a series of interviews, including Sterger and Favre, a review of communications between the two furnished to the league office, and independent forensic analysis of electronically stored material.
"The investigation was limited in several respects because the conduct occurred in 2008 but was not brought to our attention until this fall," the league said. "As a result, certain records and individuals were unavailable to the NFL."
The league said it was also unable to determine how Favre got Sterger's phone number and whether a Jets staff member acted as an intermediary, a point also contradicted by Conway. In a statement, the Jets said they consider the matter closed.
"Mr. Goodell completely failed to address the complicity of the New York Jet organization in Favre's conduct," Conway's statement said. "The evidence was explicit that Ms. Sterger's personal telephone numbers were provided to Favre by still-current employees of the New York Jets. This was done without Ms. Sterger's knowledge and consent."
As for Conway's charge that Favre had received preferential treatment, Stephen M. Paskoff, a lawyer who is the president of Employment Learning Innovations, a workplace compliance, ethics and behavior-training firm based in Atlanta, said that in most other settings, an investigation like this would have been handled much differently.
"If this had been a work-a-day person, not a star, not a celebrity, you would have handled it much more quickly," said Paskoff, who has worked with professional sports franchises, among other clients.
He added that when an employee is dishonest or deceptive in an investigation, the result is often dismissal.
"What really is going on is in that in certain workplaces, there is a whole different culture," he added. "People don't understand that the laws have been in place for everybody else for 35 or 40 years."
Favre, 41, has retired and returned to action multiple times, but he has said repeatedly that he will retire for good after the season ends Sunday. And while he has said that before, Favre has suffered numerous physical ailments this season — he has not yet been cleared from a concussion to play Sunday — and his consecutive starts streak ended Dec. 12.
After a season of injury and investigation, even Favre may finally think it is time for him to go.

To me, DW from 1963-1989 is what it is whilst 2005 onwards feels like the "Elseworlds" version.
I entirely agree, chaps, though the BBC, BIg Finish and rabid fans of the 21st century version* would not.
And they'd be right. As noted, the Doctor is the Doctor is the Doctor. "Alternate Universes" are the realms of fanfic. and if one indulges in them, one is installing oneself as one of the writers of the show.
The best thing, as with all serial fiction, is to drift along with the story being told, and ignore what does not fit one's own format.
Stopped watching Smith on any kind of regular basis shortly before Amy and Rory got the heave-ho -- in a particularly stupid fashion. May have been the Weeping Angels that broke the back for me. Loved "Blink"* but did not enjoy seeing the concept run into the ground. And don't even get me started on Clara!
* Can't watch it any more. Moffet's subsequent excesses have made it impossible to overlook the episode's flaws.
They introduced a companion that was supposed to be American, but played by an English actress whose accent jumped all over the place, had the characters use British idioms, and gave her a ridiculous name. (My theory? Peri has British parents and was only partially raised in the U.S.)
You LISTENED to Peri? What on Earth for? Sight was the only sense required!
I have not seen enough of her episodes to pass judgement on Peri's accent, but I have noticed that British actors seem generally to do a better job with American accents than American actors do with British. There we often end up with what Dave Gibbons calls the "Dick van Dyke accent" (referencing his role in MARY POPPINS).
SIDEBAR: Growing up in Canada, one thing that struck me was that, aside from an exaggerated "aboot" here and there, American actors used to portray Canadians as sounding British, while British actors portrayed them as sounding American. Place names would trip up both. There's a town in Alberta called Medicine Hat, which is pronounced with emphasis on the "Hat". Invariably it would be pronounced MEDICINE Hat. Similarly, Margot Kidder was born way up north in Yellowknife, NWT, pronounced with emphasis this time on the "Yellow". But when mentioned, it would become YellowKNIFE.

On the 19th of August in the year of Our Lord 1071 A.D., a terrible blow was dealt to Christendom at the battle of Manzikert, with the general rout of the Byzantine army at the hands of the infidel Turk. The resulting Islamic invasion ravaged the extent of the Byzantine Empire and would have overrun Europe itself had it not been for a special grace, the grace of shock and reaction.
The shock was the realization by Western man that a great hole had been breached in the ramparts of Christian civilization and that a pagan and barbaric host now plundered the Christian people and holy places surrounding Jerusalem. The reaction was a tremendous and organic movement of nobles, knights and arms which against all odds recaptured much of the Eastern Roman Empire and set Islamic conquest back for generations.
On the 26th of June in the year of Our Lord 2015 A.D. another grave blow befell Christian civilization at the hands of the Supreme Court of the United States with the decision to legalize same-sex "marriage". The resulting ravages of this unprincipled ruling have the potential to annihilate the very foundation of Christian civilization, that of the family. With so great a treasure at stake every Catholic, Christian, and indeed every person who has a mustard seed of a care for the institution of the family as God has established it, should be shocked.
Shocked by the grave affront that sodomite "marriage" is before God the omnipotent Creator of the Universe, Author of all life and Founder of matrimony; shocked by the blasphemy of placing unnatural vice on the same level as that of chaste wedlock between a husband and wife, raised to the dignity of a sacrament by Our Lord Himself at Cana; shocked by the scandal now offered to society and especially to children about which Our Lord said it would be better to be drowned in the sea than to scandalize. Indeed, we should be sorely shocked.
But shock is not enough, nor should it paralyze us to silence or acceptance. It should be the catalyst which propels us forward into the fray. Shock requires a reaction; and that reaction must be ordered. When the first fervor of Crusading zeal swept Christian lands, certain unprepared, ill-advised and selfish individuals led crowds of aimless peasants to sure death and no achievement for lack of wisdom. It was only when an organized force of knights led by wise nobles embarked, that the Crusaders recaptured the Sepulchre of Jerusalem. So today when we stand for God's marriage, always peacefully and legally, we must stand with order.
As the lies of the homosexual agenda are challenged and destroyed on the battlefield of ideas, in their place should be built a magnanimous Christian civilization. To this end, a guidebook, a pathway, armor and arms have been lain out for us to take up and challenge the foes of Truth. "Return to Order From A Frenzied Economy To An Organic Christian Civilization" by John Horvat provides just such a guidebook in the dark nights ahead for our nation and world. It uncovers the deceitful source of homosexual marriage: the lie of equality. It teaches the unifying elements of the 'Spirit of the Family' and the role of the State in society.
A 'Crusade for Marriage is required, an entrenched and sustained Crusade. The holy martyrs and crusaders of old call out for it; confused souls young and old are desperate for it; our conscience demands it … and God wills it!

Meat cleavers, bayonets and axes: The weapons seized from children as young as six at school
In one case a six-year-old carried a knife to school (posed by a model)
Hundreds of deadly weapons are being seized at schools each year from children as young as six, disturbing figures reveal.
The shocking arsenal includes a meat cleaver, an axe, a bayonet and a knife found on a Year 1 primary school pupil.
Some 1,145 weapons were confiscated between 2006 and 2010 according to the results of a Freedom of Information request to Britain's 52 police forces.
Only half responded, meaning the official figure is likely to be more than 2,200 – an average of around 440 weapons seizures each year.
Education sources said this represents 'the thin end of the wedge' as most blades and other dangerous items are smuggled into schools without being detected.
The figures were released in the same week that an official Government report exposed a doubling of violent incidents in schools to almost 1,000 in just a year.
It coincided with new guidance from the
Department for Education about how teachers should tackle violence in
the classroom.
New measures, to be introduced from September, include carrying out searches without consent and scrapping existing 'no touch' policies.
Nick Seaton, of the Campaign for Real
Education, said: 'Teachers are telling us on the quiet that pupils have
taken control of schools.
'For a lot of youngsters weapons and violence are becoming normal parts of their lives.
Police have also made 1,399 drug seizures on school premises, including cannabis (picture posed by models)
'Teachers must be more ready to work together to tackle youngsters with weapons, exclude them from schools and call police.'
'It shows how badly the situation has deteriorated and why something must be done about it.
are solutions like knife arches or searches but the fact these things
are being found shows the vast majority of teachers are aware children
could be carrying weapons.
'These serious weapons youngsters are bringing into school shows how discipline in schools is deteriorating.
'In general I believe schools are safe but with this sort of behaviour they can be very dangerous.'
This horrific knife was seized from a 17-year-old yob as he tried to get into Oxford and Cherwell Valley College's campus in Blackbird Leys, Oxford.
A member of staff seized the skull-encrusted knife with two five inch blades in July 2008 and handed it to police.
Police described the Klingon fighting weapon - used in the Star Trek films - which can only be bought on the internet, as one of the 'most horrendous' they had ever seen.
The teenage boy was charged with possession of a blade article and handed a six month youth offender referral at Oxford Youth Court.
The array of weapons includes a six-year-old child caught armed with a knife by Strathclyde Police in 2009.
Police in Surrey seized a sword from a 19-year-old in 2010 and a one-foot long bayonet from a 15-year-old in 2008.
figures also show two 10-year-olds carrying knives in Lancashire, a
13-year-old with a meat cleaver in Strathclyde in 2009 and an eight
year-old with a knife in Grampian.
Lincolnshire a 15-year-old was caught carrying an axe in 2009 and an
11-year-old was found with a snooker ball in a sock in 2008.
A cosh was seized from a 15-year-old by West Mercia Police in 2009 and knives taken from two nine-year-olds in Leicestershire in 2006 and 2009.
In Lancashire a 12-year-old was caught carrying a lock knife in 2006 and two 10-year-olds found with knives in 2008.
week the Government issued new guidance to schools, which reveals that
from September teachers can use force on disruptive children ending the
'no touch' policy.
The guidance allows teachers to use reasonable force to eject unruly pupils, break up fights and search them for weapons Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said searching pupils at schools risks turning them into 'airport style security'.
She said: 'There is a danger that concentrating on the small minority of badly behaved pupils will bring about an unhelpful change in the schools' culture if airport style security measures and frisking are seen as normal.
Strathclyde Police seized the most weapons, 373, followed by Kent Police with 125
'Schools work hard to develop and maintain relationships of trust between pupils and teachers which heavy handed tactics, in response to a problem which is confined to the minority, may not always be the best solution and are more likely to escalate rather than defuse potentially difficult situations.'
Katharine Birbalsingh, the deputy head dismissed after speaking out about pupils' behaviour at last year's Tory conference, said the reinstatement of teachers' powers would help tackle the problem but it would 'take years' to replace the authority that had been eroded.
Strathclyde Police seized the most weapons, 373, followed by Kent Police with 125, Lancashire Constabulary 81 and Leicestershire Police 80 Schools in Thames Valley Police area suffered the most crimes - 2,943 - followed by Kent Police with 2,081.
Strathclyde Police also made 199 drugs seizures ahead of Durham Constabulary, 158, Humberside, 105, and Surrey, 99.
The DfE also revealed that nearly half a million children play truant for the equivalent of one whole month every school year.
Some 430,000 of England's six million pupils aged five to 16 skip more than 15 per cent of their lessons, while 184,000 miss 20 per cent - the level defined as 'persistently absent'.
In an effort to tackle the worsening truancy rates the DfE yesterday reduced this level to 15 per cent and will name and shame schools to force head teachers to address the problem.
Charlie Taylor, the Coalition's behaviour tsar, said: 'Over time these pupils are lost to the system and can fall into anti-social behaviour and crime.'axes

Dr. Mac: Consider a backup to the backup
Don't depend only on Time Machine
Consider options for second level of backup system
I called Apple's Time Machine backup software "superb" in my first column of 2011.
It's still superb and for many — if not most - users it's the only backup system they'll ever need. But before you get too comfortable thinking Time Machine's got your back, consider this: What would happen to your Time Machine backup if your home or office were incinerated, flooded, blown up or burgled?
Do you see where I'm going with this?
While a single Time Machine backup may be good enough for most of the people most of the time, are you sure you want to store all of your eggs in one basket?
I say if your files are important enough to back up once, they're important enough to back up more than once with at least one copy stored offsite.
Personally, I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I maintain four backups in addition to my Time Machine backup. In this column I'll outline some of your backup options; next week I'll recommend tools to make the whole process painless.
Option 1: Add a second Time Machine disk.
If you buy another external hard disk, you can disconnect your current Time Machine disk and take it off-site. Then, just exchange the disks once a week or as often as you like.
If you buy another external hard disk, you can disconnect your current Time Machine disk and take it off-site. Then, just exchange the disks once a week or as often as you like.
Pros: Plug and play with no setup required. Free software.
Cons: If you don't rotate disks frequently, you could lose weeks of work. Requires additional hardware.
Option 2: Create a bootable clone disk.
A clone disk is an exact duplicate of your hard disk that can be used to boot almost any Mac.
Pros: Gets you back to work faster than other options.
Cons: It's an exact duplicate of your startup disk with no incremental backup, making it difficult or impossible to recover corrupted or deleted files. Requires additional hardware and software.
Option 3: Use traditional backup software.
Traditional backup programs such as CrashPlan (www.crashplan.com), Data Backup 3 (www.prosofteng.com) or Retrospect (www.retrospect.com) are flexible and versatile, with a variety of useful options.
Pros: Unlike Time Machine or a clone, traditional backup software lets you determine which files are backed up, how often they're backed up and where they're backed up.
Cons: Some setup and forethought required, so it can get a bit complicated. Requires additional hardware and software.
Option 4: Back up files to the "cloud."
There are a myriad of services such as CrashPlan Central (www.crashplan.com), Carbonite (www.carbonite.com) and Mozy (www.mozy.com) that back up your files to a remote server using your Internet connection.
Pros: Makes off-site storage a no-brainer.
Cons: Very, very slow.
