If you've been searching for the perfect iPhone 5 case, look no further than the Q Card Case by CM4. Not only is this a great iPhone 5 case, it may allow you to clear some space in your back pocket.
The Q Card Case made its debut earlier this year for the iPhone 4S/4. It quickly became my favorite iPhone case and also allowed me to leave my wallet at home. This simplistic case doubles as a card holder, but the term "card holder" is really an understatement.
The Q Card Case can basically hold anything you can fit in its card-size pocket. I use it for my ID, debit card, and a twenty dollar bill, all of which fit perfectly snug inside the Q Card Case's backside slot.
Check out the video review below:
Forget about liking this case … I love it! It's mildly protective without adding too much bulk and replaces my wallet. It's also compatible with the Lightning to 30-pin adapter so you'll never need to pull the bottom of a case off when using your old school accessories. That alone is worth the asking price of $39.99. As an added bonus, you also get a nice little microfiber cloth with the case. Sure, not everyone cares about that, but it's always a nice little surprise.
Nothing to say here really. You could argue that $39.99 may be a lot for an iPhone case, but it's definitely competitively priced when you compare it to other cases on the market.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I think the Q Card Case by CM4 is fantastic. I loved it on my iPhone 4S and I love it on my iPhone 5. If you're looking for a good case with dual functionality that is actually useful, check out the Q Card Case. If you happen to pick one up, I highly doubt you'll regret the purchase.

So many of my readers are friends with me via FB and saw that a few days ago my "Relationship Status" changed. This is the first time since my engagement to M ended, that said status has changed.
I met one of the kindest and genuine men, back in Jan. when I wasn't even looking, us meeting was by chance. He is an elementary school teacher and has a lot of the same interests I do. He is a true southern
Since Jan. we have been strictly friends, we spent a lot of time hanging out and getting to know each other. I had feelings for someone else when I met "The Teacher" (TT for short), and he knew that, but this person did not share the same feelings I had, relaying this message to me in black & white via email. Ouch. Oh well it was no big deal, I mean yah I was
TT and I continued to hang out, as friends, he would tell me how much he liked me and that he wanted to be more than friends, a couple, exclusive.
He went to church with me, dinner at my moms, to the park with E and I, came over and watched TV with me, tried, against my will to help me around the house, we did a lot of things that most would consider dating but since there were no strings attached, I felt that if I decided that I wasn't ready, no one got hurt and we could still be friends.
I had a hang-up but couldn't put my finger on what was bothering me.
One night a few weeks ago when I was in the shower (where I do my best thinking), it hit me. I was worried that he would wake-up one day and not want to be with someone who had a kid. Who had been there and done that. I wanted to make sure his parents were "ok" with my past and my child. I am all for family and didn't want to cause problems.
I didn't want to get my heart or E's broken, again. I am a grown woman and I can deal with, as crappy as it is, heartbreak. E on the other hand is just a child and SHOULD NOT have to deal with heartbreak.
He was out-of-town, with some of his friends, when I came to my conclusion, so I called him and I told him what was up. I told him not to say anything but to think about it while he was gone and we would talk when he got home.
He got back a few days later and we discussed my feelings. I felt like even though we weren't dating, that we were in the "honeymoon" stage; That all was rainbows and unicorns. I didn't want, that when that stage passed, for him to no longer be interested in a mom, like previously mentioned.
He assured that "honeymoon" stage or not that he cared for me and he absolutely loved E (I mean she's amazing, how could anyone NOT love her?!)
After hearing his thoughts and feelings, I still wanted to think about it before I made my decision. I liked him and he is sweet and kind and genuine. He's a good man, who when he looks at me and I can see how much he cares.
But I wanted to be sure.
A few days later, after talking to my mom and gran, I decided that I needed to trust again and why not trust him and take a leap of faith. I mean we had been strictly friends for roughly 2 months and I knew what a great guy he was and the thought of him not being in my life was not an option.
So I waited for about a week before making it FB official
This is the first time since M, that I have been going to bed happy and waking up happy. I had moments here and there, after M, but those were fleeting moments. This one seems to be a continuous feeling and I like it. A lot.
I have a feeling you will be hearing about TT more in blogs to come.
On an UNRELATED note:
5 days until my girl turns 3!
3 days until her birthday party!
I am so excited to have all the people that E and I love, that love her, in one place to celebrate her life. It is going to be a beautiful day.
Keep up in between posts, I Tweet , A lot.

Propane Assistance Available
- Written by Bob Gabrielson
- Published in News
(1/31/14) Low-income Wisconsinites who use propane to heat their homes will get an extra 14-million dollars under the federal fuel assistance program.
U-S Senate Democrat Tammy Baldwin announced the allocation yesterday, as state residents continue to struggle with a propane shortage that has raised prices beyond five-dollars a gallon. Governor Scott Walker made a similar request to President Obama this week, and he reinforced the urgency of the matter when Obama flew into Milwaukee yesterday for a speech in Waukesha. Baldwin said rural homeowners are facing quote, "crisis conditions." U-S propane supplies fell to their lowest levels on record during the second week in January -- a week after Wisconsin suffered the first of two massive cold waves that dropped wind-chills down to 55-below. U-S Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz says his agency is looking for ways to mitigate the propane shortages. He noted that farmers used a lot more fuel than normal last week to dry their crops before they could be harvested. Moniz did not cite higher U-S exports of propane. Those exports have doubled in the past two years, rising to 410-thousand barrels a day as of last November.

Rooms filled with light for a sense of openness
More light, more space, more of the joy of living: a wintergarden is the ideal way to extend your living space. There are a variety of possible uses and designs for your dream wintergarden. Experience for yourself the unique Solarlux standard of quality and create your personal oasis of well-being with a Solarlux wintergarden.
Elegance bathed in light, optimum thermal insulation and tailor-made solutions make your personal dream wintergarden a reality: whatever the specification – an architect-designed house, a half-timbered house – Solarlux products have the ideal solution. High-quality materials such as aluminium or wood/aluminium lend the wintergarden its individuality.
Spezielle Aluminium- oder Holzprofile erzielen eine lichtdurchflutete und behagliche Eleganz. Durch den Einbau von entsprechender Verglasung, Lüftungselementen und Beschattungen werden die Anforderungen der Energieeinsparverordnung (EnEv) an beheizte Wintergärten in Wohnraumqualität erfüllt.
Shade system
Even optimally heat-insulated wintergardens can become too warm in strong sunshine. High-quality shade systems provide the solution: awnings, which catch the sun's rays before they hit the glass surfaces, provide effective exterior shade. Interior shade systems, such as roller and pleated blinds and canopies, are also available – sun blinds, pleated and foil blinds can even be fitted between the panes! Wind and temperature sensors automatically control the shade system.
Harsh, unpleasant weather really brings out the value of the protected comfort of your wintergarden, and cosy hours spent overlooking the snow-covered garden are a delight. Surprisingly little heating energy is required to create comfortable temperatures, even on cold days. Fireplaces and tiled stoves, as well as underfloor heating, radiators and underfloor convection systems can easily be integrated into the wintergarden.
Well-positioned light sources create a cosy ambience. Lightstrips with integrated low-voltage lights, fitted under the individual rafters, are a subtle yet effective solution. A range of spotlights, halogen lights and star spotlights, all equipped with dimmable transformers, are available.
The automatic controls offer maximum convenience: thanks to a reliable, highly sensitive automation module, not only the ventilation but also the shade and lighting can be automatically controlled.

When the economy slides into a recession, layoffs are inevitable. Whether it's three or four people laid off, a massive downsizing or a company that has been forced to shut its doors, the layoff experience is nothing short of a nightmare for most workers.
Years and even decades of valued work, input and influence on a company comes to a screeching halt in a surprisingly formal and succinct process. Rarely are the pink-slipped given time to download personal documents from their computers or say goodbye to peers. If severance is involved, there will be papers to sign. HR might want an exit interview.
And that's all there is. The process happens so quickly, most are too stunned and shaken to consider what rights or entitlements they do or do not have.
1. Go to HR First
Further reading
If you're wondering why on earth you'd spend your first five minutes of unemployment with the people who delivered the message, you are not alone. But experts say this is the best place to start.
"The first thing someone who has been laid off should do is get to their HR department, instead of running in five other directions. They are a resource whose job is to help their employees," said Brian Hoffman, a partner in the IT division of Winter, Wyman, a recruiting firm.
As every company handles layoffs differently, the HR department can let you know what the company is offering, from severance to paying out unused sick time. But there is another reason that an employee should talk first to HR.
"You're entitled to some kind of reference from the employer, saying that you worked there, that you were a good employee and that you were laid off and not fired," said Hoffman, something that will be no small distinction to make down the road.

2. Your Rights from Written Agreements
As a laid-off employee, you have three major categories of rights that you might be entitled to. The more you know about them, the better protected you will be.
The first source of rights is employment agreements, which can include an individual contract that extends for a period of time or a collective bargaining agreement--that from a union or union-like entity.
"Look at the original terms under which you are hired," said Jay Warren, an attorney with Bryan Cave LLP with a specialty in labor and employment law.
"An individual contract for a period of time will include provisions of what will happen if you are terminated before the end of it. Check this first."

At the minimum you would at least expect once they start on work that Dischert Properties would try to do it well.
What can I tell you? This list goes on and on… doors left unhung, dirty floors, dust all over the place, baseboards not painted as promised, not meeting repairmen to take care of fixing a leak and leaving the bill unpaid for collection, the list goes on and on.
Dischert Properties just doesn't care. They are notoriously unresponsive, late, incomplete, sloppy and just plain irresponsible. Just try waiting for a a complete email response from them!
My new property manager fortunately took care of everything. But Dischert Properties left me – and would leave you as well – with nothing but headaches.

Any tips or things to keep in mind when a fan wants to meet a performer they admire at the stage door? I've heard both wonderful and horrible stories and I want to be the best kind of "fan" I can be!
Thank you,
What a FAN-TASTIC question! So thoughtful and something very few people every discuss at length. I am so happy to provide a little insight into what it feels like on both sides of the stage door experience!
When you are a professional actor, singer, artist, speaker, performer, noted person of any kind, you often meet strangers that have been influenced and affected by your work. There are many kinds of "stage door" experiences, some beyond beautiful, some verging on the inappropriate, and some downright upsetting.
It should be noted that most are wonderful, but just in case you are ever in fear of crossing a line, it might be helpful to lay out some helpful hints about what it feels like to be on the other side of the exchange, and hopefully encourage more positive and meaningful encounters, and lessen the chance of a cringe-able moment for all. :)
I want to begin with a recognition: it is, without a doubt, a privilege beyond imagining to be any kind of human "of note." If a fellow human feels the desire for an autograph, a photograph, or any moment of time with me, I continue to be honored, and, frankly, slightly in shock. Why? Because I don't feel particularly remarkable. Especially when I sit at home pretending that "putting on my bathrobe" is "getting dressed," watching crime drama with my cat, on my sofa in Queens. But hey: I recognize and respect that being a public performer comes with certain visibility, perceptions, honors, and also, sacrifices. It is all part of the gig.
Ruthie Henshall, West End star and creme-de-la-creme of singing actors, taught me at the very beginning of my career that being generous with people at stage door is "Act 3" of our job—and I believe that. That, if a fan is brave enough to come up and thank you for your work (and perhaps even express what you mean to them); that, despite a long day of life-giving, energy-draining performance, those audience members have earned that extra 5-10 minutes post-show. Everyone has earned it. It is courteous, generous and rewarding from, and for, both parties.
Some of my most beautiful encounters in the theatre have been experienced after a performance with extraordinarily generous people, sometimes young hopefuls that remind me of my younger self, and others simply filled with emotion, gratitude and lifelong memories.
When I was a young theatre-goer, I came to see my first Broadway shows at 14—it was the 1998 Broadway season and my eyes were full of stars and my ears full of show-tunes. Audra MacDonald, Rebecca Luker, Douglas Sills, Judy Kaye, Donna Murphy, Patti Cohenour, Marin Mazzie— they were my idols and role models and dare I even say it? In a certain way, my saviors. I was spending every single day with "them" as their voices and vulnerabilities blazed through my stereo system in metro-Detroit.
I respected, adored, and felt grateful to them, but I was also quite shy, and could never in a million years have built up the courage to thank them in person for the gifts they had given me. I would have melted down in a puddle of "I-don't-deserve-to-breathe-the-same-oxygen-as-this-human" incomprehensibility; rendered incapable of articulating what they meant to me, what they had given me, let alone kept it vaguely together long enough to avoid asphyxiating on my own tongue.
All of this is to say: I think about 14-year-old Al whenever I meet someone at stage door, because they could be feeling just like I did.
Perhaps you, dearest readers, can't entirely imagine how ordinary I feel when I come out of a stage door. Often times I'm thinking "Did I fully remove my makeup / I have to find some food / check on my cat's Instagram / call my pharmacist / I wonder if my mother made her connecting flight in Atlanta yadda yadda yadda" …BUT I DO. I'm an "all-grown up" version of that 14-year-old girl who might never be able to believe this is her life.
So I recognize now, that Rebecca Luker likely felt the same way about herself. (Just, ya know, without wondering about her cat's Instagram...) All of my idols were (and still are) just people: normal, talented people going to work; and when they had the wherewithal, they were happy to greet fans at stage door because they couldn't believe this was their life…
I don't know when we become like our role models, but oh dear reader, we do. I still can't believe people even vaguely know who I am. In fact, this week at Yankee Stadium while supporting my Detroit Tigers, a sweet fan and her Dad came up to me and said Hi, we got a picture, and I followed up by asking her how the heck she knew who I was. (I'm clearly... a total Pro.)
Hopefully, as we grow, we can open ourselves to the realization that none of us are gods; that even our idols are people, and that we can respect the fact that authenticity is all that is required to make a meaningful connection with a person you admire.
I have had stage door experiences that have been touching, meaningful, and moving—I will hold them in my heart for the rest of my life. And, I've also had some stage door experiences that have been really challenging.
Know this: what lies within the confines of our inner-most selves is not only where an artist's best and most authentic work comes from, but it is also ours, to both defend and share at our own pace, and at a level of comfort that feels appropriate for us. We also have the right to change our minds, to retreat if we sense danger, to be discerning. And, we have the right to not engage for any reasons we deem fit, particularly if the work on stage is at risk (such as in terms of rest, energy, germs, etc). You have purchased a ticket to the performance, and that price tag does not include meeting the cast outside stage door. It is not a requirement, and should not be perceived of negatively if the actors wish to decline their participation.
We have rights—just like everyone else on earth, for again, we are also human beings trying to figure it all out too. I truly mean this: no matter how remarkable you may deem someone to be, at essence we are all souls striving to grow, to heal, learn, and be better versions of who we are every moment.
Social media (and the media at large) has in many ways warped our sense of what it means to "share." Even the words "friend" and "follower" have become warped by this phenomenon. In my own, introverted and very privately held life, I define a friend as: one who has borne witness to, and held, my inner life. I will not allow that definition to be exploded by Facebook. But it would be irresponsible to ignore the very blurry lines surrounding the word "friend" in our society. A "follower" on the other hand, feels slightly clearer—I do not follow your comings and goings, but you choose to follow mine. That feels appropriate, and like the boundaries are clear. Above all, remember this: never confuse friendLY, for freindSHIP.
Still. Confusing.
Dearest theatre goers, television watchers and fans of all kinds: those you admire are human beings too. We have limitations, emotions, off-days and downright bad days. We have previously arranged appointments, we have beloved family and friends visiting. We get sick. Sometimes very sick, and have to disappoint people, which is, believe me, heart-wrenching.
But above all, we too have very real vulnerabilities and basic rights to any privacy we deem to be appropriate for ourselves. Those boundaries are self-set and deeply personal; and everyone, no matter who they are or what they do, has a right to maintain those boundaries and be respected for it.
- Come prepared!
- Bring a pen!(Preferably a Sharpie or other permanent marker)
- Have the playbill/ poster/CD/autograph book facing the performer, not facing you. It will expedite the process.
- Have the camera open, prepped, and the photographer ready-to-go.
- Have a special request? Just ask! But also be prepared for a "no" if the performer is unable or unwilling to accommodate your request, and be gracious about it.
- Keep your comments authentic, but be brief. Remember that there are other patrons, and that we have to get home (to our famous cats)
- Remember that friendLY is not friendSHIP: these performers are strangers, and not your actual friends (however friendLY they may be!)
- Meeting the cast at stage door post show is not included in the price of admission. Be compassionate and gracious if performers decline to engage.
The last thing I want to do is frighten anyone away from sharing their joy, from expressing their gratitude and laughter, getting a fun photo or above all, those sacred, deeply felt moments that can only be shared in a theatre.
I simply urge you to be discerning, and recognize what you are asking of strangers. Above all, to remember that performers are people too.

LibraryThing and InfoCentre
I have been having trouble with my school account on LibraryThing. I use it to highlight our new books to our community. Each month or so, I import records from InfoCentre, our integrated library system, into LibraryThing. It seems so easy - I can batch import, and tag the whole batch with the same tag (I use NewMonthYear, for instance, NewMarch2009). Sounds perfect, right?
Well, I must be doing something wrong, because in a batch of ninety three, ten are duplicated - often with different cover pictures! Does anyone else have this problem? I'd love your help.
(Update! I figured it out! The MARC records for the duplicated books had more than one ISBN in them, and since I don't do the cataloging at my library, I didn't realize that would happen sometimes. I have since asked the cataloger to only include in the record the ISBN of the book we actually have.)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Savannah Guthrie will replace Ann Curry as co-host of NBC's "Today" Show, NBC announced on Friday, a day after Curry made an emotional early exit from one of America's most high-profile television slots.
Guthrie, 40, who previously served as co-host of the morning program's third hour, will join Matt Lauer in the main hosting chairs in a shake-up of the show's line-up aimed at curbing a recent decline in ratings, the network said.
"She's got an undeniable range, and she's earned the trust of the news community, her colleagues and our viewers alike. I couldn't be happier for Savannah and the entire 'Today' team," NBC News President Steve Capus said in a statement.
Guthrie joined "Today" in June 2011 after a nearly three-year stint as a White House correspondent for NBC News. She holds a law degree from Georgetown University and will keep her title as chief legal correspondent for NBC News.
Guthrie replaced Curry after "Today" had slipped in the ratings since Curry took the chair co-hosting with Lauer in June 2011.
In April, ABC's "Good Morning America" moved ahead of "Today" in the weekly ratings race among total viewers for the first time in 16 years, according to Horizon Media. "Today" kept the lead among adults aged 25 to 54.
Since then, the two shows have traded the No. 1 spot among total viewers.
"It's going to take a while to see if Savannah Guthrie will make a difference in the ratings," said Syracuse professor Robert Thompson and director of its Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture. "Was Anne Curry the problem, or has Good Morning America just become more aggressive?"
The departing anchor was part of the show for 15 years as its news reader before becoming co-host, Thompson said, "so she ought to get some credit for its ratings success as well."
Curry made an emotional on-air departure from the show on Thursday after just a year in the job, tearfully thanking the viewers who had supported her and saying that for those "who saw me as a ground breaker, I am sorry I could not carry the ball across the finish line."
She will remain as an anchor-at-large for "Today" and other NBC newscasts while reporting on stories from around the globe.
"Today", a huge profit center for NBC, generated $848 million in advertising revenue for the company last year, while "Good Morning America" made about $298 million, according to Horizon Media.
Comcast Corp owns NBC, and Walt Disney Co owns ABC.

I think those conditions are pretty good.
The conditions look fine to me, and a list of characters with possible future player tie-ins can't hurt :)
Something else I've been thinking about...I'm curious what everyone thinks about having a 'character list' attached to the story. Instead of this being a character list of people already involved in the story though, this would be a list of interesting characters that others would be interested in incorporating into the story at some point. I'm trying to design a story that will allow for other writers to join in along the way. I was thinking if we had a list of characters for them to glance over, inspiration might strike them. I know that sometimes I just get overwhelmed with decisions and would love a list to help me narrow down my choices.Just a thought!
Is this just a list like, "I wanna see character x" in the game! or is it more like, "I was wanting to have Jack the Giant Slayer (and hunter of other creatures) to have come after Ruby when she was the Big Bad so I'd like to see her played" ?
It's more like, "Here's a list of characters that would fit in really well if you need some additional inspiration to find a character".
Less approved and more like "saw your sheet...didn't see issues...let me know if you have issues" kind of thing....lol. I just got lazy and called it an approval.I've been thinking about the 'conditions' of Storybrooke when the story opens. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on how Storybrooke is when Emma arrives so everyone has a solid base to start their stories from. 'Conditions' would be like....#1 - Storybrooke is under curse #1 and protected from outsiders. The city does NOT get visitors....with the exception of Emma. Because of the curse, the townspeople acknowledge that visitors are rare but don't seem to think anything of it.#2 - Henry Mills exists similarly to his character in the show but he is to never be used directly in any plot.#3 - For the purpose of having a 'control character', the character of Emma Swan will be almost identical to the tv version. Expect her to be heroic and brave and the perfect little savior. What 'conditions' do you all think would be appropriate to start with?Annnnnnnnd go!Prior to the start of the story, everyone will need to agree to the 'conditions'.
Also, if anyone wants to talk potential plots or connections either pre or post curse just let me know :)
Jazz lives above her shop. Her shop that she owns. All the civilized people hate her for it and don't let the little children go in the shop. This amuses her greatly.
Lol. True. I assume post curse Ruby just gives Mr. Gold not very well hidden dirty looks and has to be scolded by Granny on those occasions she can't help herself and mouths off?
I say yes to all those conditions! Aislinn and I are still going over my char, but I'm pretty sure I'm going with Genie. Completely something different than the mirror in OUAT though, so having my own fun with creating him. I do see him as a free man in my head, but perhaps somebody has a cool idea that they want to corporate Genie into their story as well? He'll probably be some kind of handyman in the town post-curse. If you need something fixed, or a favor he's there for you. In a less, soul-sucking way that Rumple is, of course.
... why do people hate her for owning a shop? Am I missing something?Sounds appropriate to me!

She knows everything going on and has a wealth of sneaky knowledge few could hope to equal, even Rumple.
Oh, come on, no twisting of wishes? Think of all the fun! Classic jinn are wonderfully wicked forces of nature! A good handyman is certainly useful though, especially to a landowner. Would you care to be on retainer? Basically being the go-to for people living in homes Rumpel owns in exchange for a discount. Depending on what needs fixing, he'd get pay from Rumpel or the people renting ... assuming that works like over here. Like if something is wrong with the home itself or within the walls the owner has to pay, otherwise if it's a machine or damage caused by the renting party they'll have to pay? I haven't a clue. But should be good business either way.

ReFS and What it Means for Windows Users

NTFS, Fat32, Ext3, and ReFS — That's a lot of acronyms, the first three are some of the most widely used system partitions today while the latter most is something new. Microsoft has developed the successor to the most widely used NTFS file system for Windows called the Resilient File System — You might be asking yourself: "How does this affect me?"
The short answer is — Aside from performance and stability improvements, you won't notice a thing. The ReFS file system will maintain the crucial backwards compatiblity with the NTFS file system and your applications should remain in working order if you choose to make the switch.
ReFS will be released on Windows 8 however it's initial launch will only support the next release of Windows Server in the 8 series, and while Microsoft has not confirmed or denied the possibility of it being added as a feature to the popular Windows 7 operating system, it is not out of the question.
Microsoft has laid out some key goals of what they want to accomplish by utilising this new file system:
- Maintain a high degree of compatibility with a subset of NTFS features that are widely adopted while deprecating others that provide limited value at the cost of system complexity and footprint.
- Verify and auto-correct data. Data can get corrupted due to a number of reasons and therefore must be verified and, when possible, corrected automatically. Metadata must not be written in place to avoid the possibility of "torn writes," which we will talk about in more detail below.
- Optimize for extreme scale. Use scalable structures for everything. Don't assume that disk-checking algorithms, in particular, can scale to the size of the entire file system.
- Never take the file system offline. Assume that in the event of corruptions, it is advantageous to isolate the fault while allowing access to the rest of the volume. This is done while salvaging the maximum amount of data possible, all done live.
- Provide a full end-to-end resiliency architecture when used in conjunction with the Storage Spaces feature, which was co-designed and built in conjunction with ReFS.
So let's break down each of these points. Microsoft is aiming to maintain a high level of compatibility with the current file structure — So most applications will be able to run on the new file system. Which is a win for everyone. They will however, be removing some features which are outdated, or not as widely used. That being the case, I wouldn't worry about whether your applications will run or not.
Now the next bit, is something that I personally am glad to see. Microsoft will be introducing some features similar to the HFS file system used in OS X to automate and correct drive corruption to optimise drive performance. What this means for you: Less worrying, less problems, less defragging and waiting for your computer to free up hard drive usage, and best of all, less disk checking. The ReFS file system aims for a smoother, better performing operating environment from it's predecessor.
Isolation of corrupted data is another big selling point for ReFS — This means that if there is bad data on your hard drive it will most likely not interfere with the repair process. This means you will be able to identify, and repair the issue while the drive is still active and your session is still live. This means less downtime in critical situations, and in day to day use.
Lastly — ReFS is designed to work together with the Storage Spaces feature which will be introduced in Windows 8. Storage Spaces, in short combines all of your physical drives, SAS, RAID, internal, external, NAS, etc, and combines them in to one consistent virtual drive you can use for direct and organised storage.
Now that all the hefty reading is out of the way, I do have to break some bad news to everyone else who is looking forward to this — Initially ReFS will not be bootable. Microsoft intends on taking it in "evolving steps" to quote a Softpedia Article it will be implemented "…first as a storage system for Windows Server, then as storage for clients, and then ultimately as a boot volume…"
If you are looking forward to Windows 8, the beta will be available in mid, to late February.
Until next time, thanks for reading.

I'm spending New Year's Eve at the art table, penciling and inking like a madman, but I did want to take a moment and say, "Happy New Year!".
2010 was a good year for me. I got to work on IDW's Doctor Who comic book -- my all-time favorite character -- which led to not only doing more art on the book, but even getting to write and draw my own Doctor Who story for the 2010 IDW Doctor Who Annual. Definitely a career highlight for me. Not to mention, I also got to write a prose story for the 2010 Witchblade Annual, my first professional credit as a prose writer.
Speaking of Top Cow, I'm closing the year working with my old friend Ron Marz on two issues of Witchblade, which is a thrill. We haven't worked together since our days at Crossgen, and it's good to be a team again, if only for a couple issues.
And I even got to do one last project with Ben Abernathy at WildStorm before they closed their doors for good -- a few pages from a FRINGE graphic novel/motion comic they've been serializing on their Facebook page. Always a thrill to work with Ben.
So, yeah... it's been a good year. And there are lots of things either already on my slate or currently in development for next year. So here's to 2010, and to whatever 2011 will bring.
Have a great 2011, everyone!

text: Hi everybody, well, my problem is with matlab. it's about dividing a row A containing 2700 values by a column B containing 168 values. my first question : is it possible to divide them while they don't have the same length ? if I suppose that the result is C=A/B, I want that C will also be a vector, cause when I obtain C, I have to plot a 2 dimension graph of x and y, where x is the time and y is C... I attached a part of the file, where you will find 256 different values in row A and 168 value in column B anyone has an idea ? thanks lefou

DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles - Kolexxxion
Primo and Bumpy are a combination that is pretty unfuckwithable. Kolexxion serves up seventeen hot tracks (nineteen in the deluxe version), mostly new, but there is a Primo remix of Turn Up The Mics and The Lah reappears for nostalgias sake. Listening to Primo rip tracks like The Key, it becomes painfully obvious that most of the new school cut and paste kids have a lot to learn about making quality hip-hop. Bump bodies the mic for the duration here rhyming on and off the beat between ridiculous scratching and beat dropping. Highly recommended to anyone who still remembers that hip hop was light years better last century.

|Copper Patina Velvet Necklace
A mix of fantasy and stunning texture.
|Amethyst Velvet Choker
The detail each unique piece has is astonishing.
She states in her profile that her first inspiration is where she lives, The Azores, Tolkien's middle earth.
She has lived there for 20 years and often uses lava stone in her pieces, symbolic of the volcanic island.
I desperately want Mary Anne to become involved in Art Bead Scene challenges.
But I also want to go to her house and have tea and cookies.
Not only does she create jewelry but she also .....
weaves throws and shawls!
SOOOO perfect, this one is called The Woods and I think I need it for my bedroom.
The piece above is a hand made tile pendant of Santanne, ST Anne, reading to Mary.
Her jewelry comes in these amazing pouches that she calls Middle Earth's Precious Pouch.
Oh, Lord, I want one so bad.
Please visit Mary Anne at her blog and make her feel as welcome as you all did me, when I first joined in the Art Bead Scene.

I frequently take the Type 9 gearbox out of my Mk1 Escort and am sick and tired of smelly and expensive oil dribbling out the back once the propshaft is removed. I have seen in another (old) thread a reference to a bung, sold on eBay, that stops the issue. Do these exist? Anybody got any links?
I know I could just go to the wreckers and see if I can match up an old prop end but I just don't have time for hunting around.

Apple's iPad can fill 'in-between' niche
Apple's iPad can fill 'in-between' niche
Apple introduced its iPad last week, and everyone is talking. Our own Dwight Silverman provided technical details — its size, speed, models, price, features, availability, and more — last Thursday (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/tech/news/6839013.html), and Apple's Web site has any additional info you might need (www.apple.com/ipad), so rather than rehash the technology, let me instead offer my opinion on why I believe the iPad is destined to become one of Apple's greatest success stories.
Let's start with some assumptions:
• • It offers a maximum of 64GB of storage, a 9.7-inch screen and isn't able to run multiple apps simultaneously, so it's not going to replace many desktop computers.
• • It doesn't have a cell phone, so it's not going to replace many iPhones.
• • With prices starting at just $499, lots of people will want them anyway.
• • With iWork, Mail, Safari, and 100,000-plus iPhone apps available, many users could use iPads instead of laptop computers.
So who is going to buy all these iPads? First and foremost, I expect lots of notebook computer users to abandon their Mac and Windows laptops completely and replace them with iPads. And I expect a substantial number of iPhone and desktop computer users to buy an iPad to use in addition to their desktop computer and/or iPhone. Ergo, I predict the iPad will become an instant best-seller.
So, if the iPad does become a smash hit, how will it affect Apple?
The biggest concern, I think, is that the iPad is going to cannibalize some MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro sales, perhaps a lot of them.
That sounds bad for Apple but it's really not, as I'll explain in a moment. I also believe the iPad is going to convert a good number of Windows laptop users, which you have to agree, sounds pretty good for Apple.
Finally, the iPad will appeal to many users who will buy it in addition to all of their other devices, which would also be quite good for Apple.
The question is how badly will those lost MacBook sales hurt Apple. I believe the answer is not much. Sure, in the short term it will mean that some Apple notebook profits are lost to the less expensive (and thus less profitable) iPad sales. But in the long run Apple will more than make up those profits selling music, video and applications to iPad.
In other words, though Apple makes a tidy profit when you buy a MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, the iPad will become a gold mine that delivers profits month in and month out, year after year, and will be one of Apple's greatest success stories.

Here I am at the winery this morning, tasting through the 2013 vintage for the first time with any sense of formality.
When does a wine not need a table, delicious things and two people in love? When a winemaker, or a consumer or trade member, really wants to intellectualize a wine, really understand and study it.
Studying a book in class is different than studying it in a solitary sense. It's important for me to understand my wines at table, with fun people, but also in silence with the only context the cellar, vintage and a quiet room.
How do you enjoy wine the most?

Sorry I'm so late visiting, but life truly got in the way today, as I tried to install the new phones I purchased. What should have been an easy "plug into the outlet and go" turned into a nightmare, since my internet is connected to my phone service. Need I say more?
How gorgeous! I love your gilded textures - this is beautiful, Yvonne, as well as useful. It passes the William Morris test on both counts!ReplyDelete

I want to set up a PHP page exactly like an iframe, but without the iframe. say i have 5 links. link1 displays link1content.php in a table. link2 displays link2content.php in that same table removing link1content and so on just like an iframe would.
im understood that this code pulls a page and displays it exactly where i put it?
and this code interperets the URL?PHP Code:
include "content.html";
(got that info from here)PHP Code:
include "pagedirectory/".$_GET["q"].".htm";
any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Hair Transplant Scar Repair
You have finally undergone the hair restoration surgery but the job is still half done as yet. This is because you want to see the results of this surgery as well as the hair transplant scar repair. One of the things which tend to bug most seekers of hair restoration surgery is the scar that is left over. Some people may be least bothered about it but there are many who expect to have absolutely immaculate results if they undergo any surgical procedure.
It is very much unlikely and rather weird not to have enough information before undergoing a surgical procedure. This is another reason why most people run a risk of coming across risk and side effects. As far as the hair transplant scar repair is concerned, there are a few things which need to be understood. Although there is no way that a scar left over as a result of surgery could be hidden but there can be some way outs with the help of which the appearance can be minimized.
If we talk about the types of surgeries for hair regrowth, the one which is most common and rather pioneer is called strip method. On the other hand there is another which is comparatively less invasive and is known as Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE method. The former involves removal of hairs from the back of the head and people undergoing this worried about hair transplant scar repair. However, like most other scars this also heals with the passage of time.
When the strip is removed, the surgeon closes the donor area with the help of sutures. There can be just a little bit of pain but that is not of that much intensity and can be easily minimized by medicines that are prescribed by the surgeon after the treatment. Besides, there are some medicines for hair transplant scar repair but the time which it will take to completely heel cannot be remarkably reduced. Nevertheless, it is quite unlikely that there would be any hair growth in that particular area.

User talk:Paula
Just a reply to the stuff on my talk page:
1. Fine I relent on the airports but I condensed the information. No need to describe the airports in detail in the country article. Do that in the city articles.
I hope this cleared the air a little and I certainly do not wish to have any animosity with you. Cheers. Superdog 02:34, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
Welcome, external links[edit]
Hello Paula! Welcome to Wikitravel.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.
Thanks for your work on South Korea, but please don't make deep links to http://english.visitkorea.or.kr (or any other site, for that matter). Eg. Insadong is supposed to be covered in our very own Seoul article, not other travel guides. Jpatokal 01:38, 4 June 2008 (EDT)
Wikitravel's policy is that we generally accept only primary external links. This means that links to the official homepages of tourist attractions, museums, district offices, airports, ferry terminals etc are welcome. However, links to other travel guides are generally not welcome. This means that you can link to eg. the website of the Port of Incheon (a primary link), but you should not link to the KNTO page about the Port of Incheon (a secondary link). In all cases, though, the most important information (eg. phone number, how to get there, prices) should be copied to Wikitravel itself. Jpatokal 05:48, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
Please use the standard Revised Romanization for any Korean phrases for consistency. There's a handy conversion tool at [1], just punch in the hangeul and it will give you the correct transliteration. Jpatokal 04:11, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
I really don't want to bring Wikipedia's edit wars here, and that's why I don't want a lengthy history section for Dokdo. Please summarize your concerns on Talk:Dokdo if you object with what I've written. Jpatokal 08:05, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
Map of Korea[edit]
Image:사본 -kor map03.jpg is a nice-looking map, but do you really have permission from the KTO to license it under Creative Commons? It will be deleted if you don't. Jpatokal 03:46, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
Hi Paula... I noticed that you reverted my edit to Ulleungdo. Was there any specific reason for this? Has the tourist ferry service been suspended? If so, could you type that into the summary box as a reason for your edit... If you do that, I'll no longer revert this specific edit... Much appreciated... Cheers... WindHorse 06:10, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
Temples in Korea[edit]
Re: North Gyeongsang and a few others, temples like Buseoksa should not get their own articles, unless they're so huge and remote that they don't make sense in a city (eg. Guinsa). Please place them in the nearest city, like Yeongju in the case of Buseoksa, instead. Jpatokal 12:34, 11 November 2008 (EST)
Incheon Airport[edit]
Incheon Airport is on Yeongjong Island, so the airport is best covered there. The Seoul article should discuss how to get from ICN to Seoul, and the Incheon article should discuss how to get from ICN to Incheon city. Jpatokal 02:56, 15 December 2008 (EST)
Edit Warring[edit]
Your contributions of late have been composed of little other than edit warring. Edit wars are undesirable -- please leave the article alone until a suitable compromise or discussion can be pursued. There is no harm in allowing discussion to precede minor notions of correctness. -- Colin 01:17, 6 January 2009 (EST)
Rogue Bureaucrat[edit]
I would like to address some ongoing issues with a particular bureaucrat and one of his admins. The general idea is he follows me around and basically harasses me whenever I make an edit to one of his pages. He seems to need the last word on all the edits. I'm finding this a little perplexing since I thought it was understood that edits can be made and that factual information matter. Frankly, I think it's getting a little personal and the boundaries of fairness and good sense are being breached. I've written the details in a letter I have sent to your Wiki email since I thought it would be too much for this talk page. I am a travel writer and enjoyed working on this site very much initially. However it's become a demoralizing and draining experience lately. It's unfortunate and would hope to return to my original opinion on the task. ThanxPaula 20:02, 22 January 2009 (EST)
Ha, Ha. You'd be laughing too if you saw my letter to Evan. What you have written is exactly what I had assumed and predicted the problems are with Wikitravel. You have confirmed to me that the "Old Boys Club" mentality is as pervasive as I feared it was. At least you freely admit the obvious bias that exists within the admins and which you demonstrate yourself. So, you will forgive me if I don't consider your criticism of what you perceive to be my "overly aggressive" ways as credible. Paula 00:42, 5 February 2009 (EST)
It is not a "cry...for backup" as you put it that I am looking for, it is the observance to the original ideals, objectivity, fairness and the freedom to make legitamite edits, of the site that I was demanding. And when I did not receive that from the people I thought most committed to those principles I was taken aback and responded concurrently.Paula 00:42, 5 February 2009 (EST)
By the way, I was not the one who had asked for the page to be blocked. I am always willing to compromise and have in the past. And if Evan is not active why has he not been removed on the active list?Paula 00:42, 5 February 2009 (EST)
No.1: If the traveller comes first shouldn't we be giving them accurate information? Does that not count as being necessary? It's not about, "my pony is prettier than your pony." It's about do these things exist or not. Is this information necessary or not? I don't know about you. I REALLY don't know about you but that's what I understand as the "traveller coming first" to mean. If the facts are not important and you refuse to see them and what you're really interested in is creating your own terms for places and inventing things because it's easier or follows some arbitrary guideline beknownst only to you and your band of bureacrats then PLEASE, PLEASE tell me now. I will be happy to let you have your way so you can play with yourselves. But if you genuinely are interested in accepting accurate information that is helpful to anyone visiting these places then believe you me, my "aggression" will subside.
No.2: Have you actually seen my edits? You would be hard pressed to see a simpler structure in some of them. I would be hurt. Every Korean local I have explained this bizarre argument I'm having with y'all would be hurt. And most importantly, anyone trying to get to the beaches and markets on Yongyu Island would be hurt. The official Incheon tourist map lists it as an island [6], Wikipedia describes the map as Yeongjong Island and Yongyu Island [7], the description on the link YOU listed also describes it as Yeongjong and Yongyu Island [8], the airport PR Centre confirms that distinction as well. I mean WTF? Even information you and Jani have listed say exactly what I'm saying. I mean which part is difficult to understand? Every official body acknowledges this. There are 2 islands and the airport is on reclaimed land between them. That's it. Paula 00:42, 5 February 2009 (EST)
Letter to Evan (SysOp)[edit]
January 13, 2009
Dear Evan Prodromou,
This letter is in regards to an ongoing issue with one of the other bureaucrats on the site, Jani Patokaillo. I have been working on the South Korean pages for about 9 months now.
I first discovered Wikitravel by accident when I was researching some information on some of my future travels. I was really happy to read about your goals and general principles. They were basically saying that "it's all free and we are all equal in the eyes of the Wiki." However, I wasn't sure how easy it would be to maintain these objectives.
When I wandered into the South Korean page I found there were many areas in which I could contribute some insights and updates. I not only speak the language but have grown up with the Korean culture and have been living/working here for over 6 years.
Right from the beginning my edits were being reverted by the person whose work I changed somehow. However with a little discussion on the "talk" pages we would come to a compromise and work it out like adults. The system works…at least that's what I thought.
At first, Jani Patokaillo was quite helpful when I would ask questions on the site's mechanics or when he would direct me to relevant guidelines. Although his tone could get caustic at times, I made the assumption his ultimate goal was the same as mine, to make the site better. However, progressively, his actions were running contrary to the site's principles. He would reword sentences unnecessarily then explain his edits were better somehow or more correct. If it was a matter of factual information and I would challenge him with objective sources he would dismiss them and base his whole argument on a Wikipedia entry.
This started with the Dokdo page. He disputed a few lines in the intro which was referenced from historical sources recognized by both sides (Korea and Japan). He rewrote it so it would sound ambiguous regardless if it had any basis in fact or not. He had nothing to back up his statement other than one Wikipedia page which was being hotly disputed and was itself blocked from more edits. To try to reason with him I had asked him to refer to sources outside of Wikipedia but he refused. He argued that the readers did not need to know anything more than what he had written. I was flabbergasted and moved on. It seemed he did not respond to reason.
As I moved on to other pages, he followed me and made similar objections with subsequent pages but when I would ask for help he would be no where to be found. Lately, I was working on the Incheon and Yeongjong Island pages. I transferred the airport information from the Seoul page to Yeongjeong which JP had created but had neglected to put the airport information there. Ironically he had instructed me to do exactly that way back when I was working on the national page. But when I did, of course he was unhappy with that. He kept changing any updates I made on the page. It seemed senseless. He was basically saying the same thing. Correct me if I'm wrong. Aren't we supposed to edit work that's out of date or incorrect regardless if it's an administrator, bureaucrat or the King of the Wikitravel and not get hassled about it needlessly? In addition he is never interested in compromising unless it's his last word on it. I really did not expect this exceedingly proprietary attitude from a system's operator on the Wiki.
Every official island, city and tourism website recognizes 2 islands as having been connected by the airport even Wikipedia does, as I have stated and referenced in the Yeongjong page. Refer to the map. When he didn't get his way he asked his buddy Colin (administrator) to block the page, who then sent me a reproaching message similar to the one he (Colin) coincidently, sent me on the Dokdo page.
He is insistent on pointless arguing on the Talk pages. When I find myself repeating myself I desist from the petty squabbling. I could reference sources written on stone tablets to him but with no effect. He doesn't want to listen.
It looks to me decisions are not being made by fair consensus but by a popularity contest. JP is a bureaucrat. He knows all the sysops, the admins and many of the contributors and he's probably a good friend of yours. Hopefully writing to you will not meet with the same result as writing to him.
Ultimately, if this is allowed to continue, the views permitted to be shown on the site will only echo those of the chosen few. As far as I remember, this is the exact opposite of what the site was meant to be.
Apparently the system does not work very well. I am disappointed that I have to resort to writing to you about this. But this has been an ongoing thing and if every time I challenge JP on something he blocks the page, this will be a very slow progress. Like I told JP on his talk page, it is really unfortunate how he has turned something that was initially admirable and fun into something laborious and irritating.
One way or the other this needs to be resolved. I am asking for suggestions. Perhaps a reasonable outcome will come out of this mess.

Yeongjong, again[edit]
Per Talk:Yeongjong Island and the Pub, User:Wrh2, User:Peterfitzgerald and User:Wandering have all indicated that the article should not be renamed, so please stop moving it. Jpatokal 05:36, 4 March 2009 (EST)

There has been a progressive development of the TV industry over the years. You had the first black and white TVs which gave way to color sets, flat screen TVs and now plasma as well as LCD TVs. The fact of the matter is that the evolution of TVs is quite relentless and unending in the search for the perfect technology that will delight you and bring a better viewing experience for you and your family. One of these technologies that is making waves nowadays is 3D TV, which represents the brand new frontier of TV viewing technology. Companies like Vizio and Sensio are promoting the spread of this revolutionary 3 Dimensional technology that everyone is raving about.
Sensio is a company that believes strongly in the promise of the 3D TV industry and the fact that it represents the future of the television industry. This is a company that visualizes the day when 3D home theaters will become the standard and where programming will be in the form of 3D alone. When you are able to view depth of scenes with backgrounds and foregrounds clearly demarcated, the viewing experience is like nothing can compare. If you are watching a football match, you feel as if you are sitting in the stands and not in your living room couch. When you are watching a fashion show, you almost feel as if you are present right there in a seat next to the ramp watching the models strut their stuff. This is the magic of 3 dimensional television, which Sensio is striving to get to our home.
The other company that is brining HD TV and also 3D TV technology is Vizio. This company has a huge range of high definition TVs so that your TV viewing experience is like nothing before. The pictures are clear as well as true to life so that you never have to feel that you are watching a show. Rather, you get a ring side view of the goings on and experience an inimitable spectacle that plays out in front of your almost unbelievable eyes. There is no wonder then that there is a great deal of interest among people in terms of TVs and home theater systems that are available in the market. What's more, the prices of these TVs are also falling rapidly so that you do not have to be a celebrity or a millionaire to enjoy the wonderful watching experience that these television sets promise. 3d television

Bound to a wheelchair all his life because of spina bifida and cerebral palsy, 7-year-old Hayden Trigg of Austin, Texas had often watched other kids play in the distance because not too many playgrounds and facilities for kids have provisions for those using wheelchairs.
Pitying her son, Adrienne Trigg wrote to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a wheelchair-accessible treehouse to be built in the family's one-acre property. The foundation responded accordingly. With the generosity of a local contractor, Austin Tree Houses, etc., and the foundation, a special treehouse was built for Hayden.
When it was finally finished, he was so excited that he went up and down the 65-foot-long ramp on his manual wheelchair, essentially "breaking new barriers for himself". Mommy Adrienne revealed, "He has very low muscle tone, so it's hard for him to go long distances in his manual chair."
All his classmates arrived at their house to enjoy a day of play at the new treehouse – and Adrienne felt that Hayden had the best day of his life.
"It was the best day of his life," she said. "His wish was to share it with his friends. He's got to be the most popular kid in school right now."

5 things I do to make me imagine I'm in a Period Drama
8 comments:
I knew I should look in the mirror more often! ;)ReplyDelete
Oh this is perfect! I love the idea of pretending you are in a carriage & I guess now I know why I like drinking tea the "proper way" so very much :)ReplyDelete
Sink meh, m'dear, you've hit the nail on the head! :-D I quite agree. Especially the leaning-head-out-window one-- you can also pretend you're in a covered wagon, heading West on the Oregon Trail. (These are the things that go through Emma's head.) Or you can be like Beatrix Potter, and drive through ALL the parks...ReplyDelete
And oh yes, the banister. Unfortunately our house doesn't have one. :-( Oh! The deck out back does! In fact, that's where I'm sitting right now. I think I'll go try it. ;-P
Haha! YES! I was actually mildly surprised to realize that I do three of these on a rather regular basis ;)ReplyDelete
I pretend I'm in a carriage, stare dreamily into mirrors sometimes, and place my hand "just so" XD It's such fun, isn't it?
I don't actually drink tea *cough cough*, so that one's kind of out...but yes, I can definitely see that working!
Ooh, the ruler-back thing and all that rot!:D I agree about the plush chairs thing. We actually just bought an antique (I think) love seat, and I cannot for the life of me sit back in it;) Ramrod-straight is the only way with that chair. But, m'dear, supposing you are relaxing by yourself on a cool stone bench at your home, alone or with family. Could you not lean back then? Molly Gibson did it, after all, and we all know she's "been capable of proper behavior ever since she was a little girl!" ;) :)
This post was such fun!
a very pretty post naomi!ReplyDelete
i think i look in the mirror too much!
Haha! The things I do when no one else is looking - then I'm in my own period drama! :) Thanks for the cool post, Naomi!ReplyDelete
YAY YAY YAY THIS IS EXCITING!!!! And I can't wait to see the ideas you have. I'm listening to the North & South BBC soundtrack as I read, so I'm in an especially period-drama-ish mood. :-)ReplyDelete
Yes. I do this (pretend I'm in a carraige). I also pretend I'm some celebrity in a cab in London. Ha. (That was random...)
"They had skies back then too, you see." Heehee.
Yes, I like #3 and I DO it... sometimes. I have horrible posture and so it helps to imagine I'm Lizzy or Anne Elliot (heehee) and sit up SUPER straight.
Ha. I always hold teacups with both hands, too! But it's not very period-drama-ish, you're right. Bother. :-)
YES I HAVE DONE #5. But I haven't run into many nice staircases. Ours is split in two and it's Straight and Boring. Heh.
Thank you! These are lovely good tips and I'll definitely try them. Period dramas... they're such good fun, aren't they? <3
- Anonymous5 May 2015 at 00:21
Naomi m'dear you just made school more fun! xDReplyDelete
Spam comments are lame. I got SO many of them I had to disable Anonymous comments. (Sorry nice Anonymites)
Anyway. Other comments = I LOVE YOU. :-)

Marty! We need to go back!
It's 30 years since the film 'Back to the Future' was released. Did the trilogy's bold predictions about the future come true?
Thirty years ago, the first film in the Back to the Future trilogy hit the screens. A youthful Michael J Fox played Marty McFly, an American teenager who is transported back to 1955 in a DeLorean DMC-12, which has been converted into a time machine by the eccentric inventor Dr Emmett Brown. McFly bumps into his parents and their high school colleagues – a meeting that will change all their lives. But the issues that preoccupy Marty and his parents in 1985 and 1955 are timeless: love, family, relationships and work.
The year 1955 saw the opening of Disneyland in California, while in the UK The Archers was first aired on radio. In the year that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man – sparking the civil rights movement in America – it would have seemed as inconceivable that Barack Obama would be president of the US in 2015 as it did to the residents of Hill Valley in 1955 that a black man (Goldie Wilson) would be its mayor in 1985. It was also the year in which Steve Jobs was born – at that time there were only 250 computers worldwide.
By 1985 the McFly family has a Mac computer, while Doc Brown has embraced technology with an electric can-opener in his kitchen. But it is in the sequel, Back to the Future Part II, where the technology really takes off. Marty travels to 2015 and the film features flying cars and hoverboards rather than the luxurious driverless cars that Mercedes, Audi and Tesla are currently developing. While technology will clearly reduce the workload for some, these show how it will create more work in other areas: lawyers in California are currently working on legislation to cover these vehicles – being computer-controlled, it is unlikely that they will be involved in as many accidents as conventional road vehicles.
While critics may enjoy spotting predictions that have failed to materialise or developments notable by their absence, such as the internet, the film-makers weren't completely wide of the mark. The high-tech specs worn in the film perform many of the functions of Google Glass, while, as in the film, we have fingerprint and facial recognition in the form of biometric identification. Petrol pumps are no longer manned, although they are not yet run by robots; it seems unlikely that petrol retailers would invest in such technology now given that we do the filling up for them.
As technological change takes place at an exponential rate, our ability to predict 30 years into the future must be even shakier now. Our lives, and the way in which we interact with each other, will be transformed.
We may become hypochondriacs, caused by wearing a range of sophisticated devices that could allow us to monitor our health. Devices such as Fitbit are already encouraging us to monitor our activity and calorie intake. Common viruses could be harnessed to help fight diseases like cancer. Most – if not all – surgery could be performed by robots.Our domestic lives could also be made much easier as we use robots to do everything from vacuuming the carpet to answering the door, and our fridges will tell us when they need replenishing.
Once brain implants have been developed, coupled with advances in genetic engineering, we may be able to cure illnesses like dementia and Parkinson's, which Michael J Fox was diagnosed with shortly after making the final film in the trilogy.
In 1955 the worldwide average life expectancy was 48; by 2025 it is expected to be 73. In 1955 there were, on average, 12 people aged over 65 for every 1001; by 2025, the World Health Organisation predicts there will be at least 31, with more in developed countries.
Increased longevity raises all kinds of questions. How will we finance our pensions, healthcare and public and private medical insurance schemes? Will there be enough food, water and energy for everyone?
The world will be more complicated, quite possibly divided between an American and a Chinese sphere of influence. The kind of jobs that we do are also likely to be very different from today's. A survey conducted by Fast Futures, the consultants, found that the best-paid job in the future was expected by worldwide respondents to be 'nano-medic' (45%), while in the UK the preferred option was 'virtual lawyer' (59%).
Technology will provide its challenges, but it will also provide solutions. But as the Back to the Future films demonstrate, it seems that what will matter most to us will still be how we provide for ourselves and our families.

- It is safe with the thread that naturally melts!
- Ultra V-Lifting uses the thread with ingredient called PDO which is approved by
Ministry of Food and Drug Administration with prime grade in safety classification.
The irritation, inflammation, or allergic reaction of the thread are minimized which
makes it suitable for sensitive skin as well.
- The treatment can be applied to most body parts!
- Ultra V-Lifting can be applied to most body parts including face, neck, breast,

- Thread can be inserted as much as the patient wants and the pulling direction can
be also be chosen by the patient to maximize the lifting effect.
