While Android 4.4 KitKat is out in the wild for few months, the number one smartphone manufacturer Samsung is yet to comment on their device upgrade plan officially. And the users of 2 years old flagship owners Galaxy S3 and Note 2 users are the most concerned person in this matter. Because Galaxy S4 and Note 3 is already getting the firmware in few areas, so worldwide release is surely near now. But it has been anxious time for S3 owners. Because their device is already out of industry standard 18 months upgrade cycle. We have heard many rumors regarding this situation. And the good news is all the sources are positive on Galaxy S3 and Note 2's fate. Another new rumor confirms the news again with some other model number eligible for Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317Surely this list is made for US carriers only. But this will also ensures all others around the globe. As for the Samsung Galaxy S4, it was only this morning that Samsung began pushing out KitKat for users of the LTE-A variant over in South Korea. Note 3 KitKat upgrade is already Ota for the last couple of days in Poland and other few regions. Early reports of firmware from both the Galaxy S4 and Note 3 suggest Samsung didn't change much in KitKat. It is fair because most of their significant upgrades came with the upgrade to Android 4.3. Which mainly enables new camera features and Galaxy Gear compatibility along with other enhancements.
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-t217a
Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-i537
Samsung Galaxy Mega SGH-i527
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom SM-c105a
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900a
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 SGH-i467
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini SM-g730a
Unfortunately, that's about the length of our knowledge thus far. There's no telling when, exactly, Samsung will look to push the upgrades out, nor do we know if they're even close to being ready for public consumption. But it is safe to say that Android 4.4 upgrade is not coming to Galaxy S3 and Note 2 not before April 2014 because these devices just received Android 4.3 two months ago. And seeing Samsung Galaxy S3 mini is also pleasing for many eyes i am sure!

Help your friends visit you.

Do you have a digital camera?
Why not produce a one page PDF of how to get to your home? Or two pages if you need to show a "by public transport" and a "by road" scenario? There are many free utilities that will give you a PDF driver to print to, and many programs already offer this internally.
You can include parts of a map you can scan in from your road atlas, photographs of the approach to your road, simple directions that all can understand. If you are using one of the Map websites, you could include their websites full URL address to your sectional map. It is difficult to actually copy the maps as they come in nine separate pieces, but a screen capture program may get around this.
This can also be useful if you make a purchase on the Internet and are expecting delivery by van. You can then send them the PDF to help their driver reach you.
Don't forget to include your full postcode in case the driver has a GPS system in their vehicle. If you have SatNav (Satellite Navigation GPS) yourself, you could also include the waypoint details (Lat and Long) as well.
Apart from saving you postage in sending written directions, your friends and family will think you efficient. And what is more important, the company you are dealing with will mark you down as someone who, perhaps, knows their way around , and should get a good service!
Unless the company is Minolta, then they wouldn't give a damn either way!.

(The Sports Xchange) — RHP Ronald Belisario applied for a visa on time this year and doesn't have any pending trials that would affect him arriving to spring training on time.
However, after arriving late two straight years, including more than a month tardy last year, team officials still don't know if Belisario will arrive with his teammates on time.
If he doesn't arrive on time this year, his chances of making the team decrease dramatically.

I'm too old for bleeding edge tech innovations but love how the following made my life easier this year. Most, but not all, are apps on my Droid Smartphone. They are all things I began using this year:
- Wool cycle on my Whirlpool Duet washer – Much easier, faster, and cleaner than my former handwash days.
- Netflix – it's convenient, with instant download for movies I want to see.
- Hootsuite – it's like social media on streamlined steroids, and I love the phone app too.
- #Tristatewx – a Twitter hashtag – Easily see weather changes in the Tri-State area, from weather professionals and locals. Love to see a whole community collaborate with it.
- Bump – phone app – Quickly exchange business card information with other iPhone and Droid users who use it.
- GStrings – phone app – when my kids carry their violin or guitar places to play, they can quickly and accurately tune their instruments.
- Maps – phone app – though I struggle sometimes reading the map, it has saved my bacon while travelling. Though it's a little hinky sometimes, I like the voice Navigator that helps me get to new destinations.
- Voice to Text – phone app – I can ask my phone to search Google, Tweet, or update my Facebook status. Though it struggles with my southern drawl, it saves time.
- Barcode Scanner – phone app – I can scan bar codes and compare prices while I shop. QR codes will use this to make 2011 a different kind of year.
- Smart Protractor – phone app – helped my kids with their math when we couldn't find a real protractor in the house.
- Evernote – phone app – Thanks to Dan Sully of the Social Media Club of Evansville for introducing this new super organizer tool for those of us who organize better by computer than by way of real paper.
- Color Flashlight – phone app
- Air Horn – loud horns. When a friend was in a touchy situation alone one evening last year, she downloaded this with her phone on highest volume.
- Rosary – phone app
- Contacts – My Outlook contacts are synced to my phone, along with my Facebook phone directory.
The Android LightSaber app did not make the list because they still have no female Jedi, so I have to fight like a guy. The whoopie cushion app can provide fun laughs, but my more mature, saner half would hate it if I listed it.
Watch in 2011: the Holiday World phone app which promotes a whole community of cool places.

We spent two days in Sterling, VA at the Mid-Atlantic Jam. Due to the people and the talent, you really want to spend a week at the jams. Saturday morning came a bit too early since we tend to stay up pretty late playing and catching up with friends. Voodoo Shilton was hosting a looping demonstration, so I was up and at 'em. It was fantastic to hear from Voodoo and to see him in action while he explained what he was doing and how he accomplishes his performances.
The afternoon is when the scheduled artist slots happened which are always a highlight. They go by too quickly and it's an honor to play a set for our colleagues. AJ is laying down the foundation during our set in this pic.
Things really get crazy when random pairing occur. So, names are tossed in a hat and two names are pulled out. These two musicians figure out a song to perform together, practice a bit off in a corner somewhere, and a lot of times these performances are outstanding. Here, Troy performs "Fire and Rain" with Quai Franklin and AJ plays with Chris M. Thomas and Ed Lowell.
One of the people that is crucial to the success of most of the jams is Bruce Lomasky. Bruce supplies the audio stream, the video stream, the cameras, and many times the sound system. Bruce also documents the jams on film and we are usually lucky to get a professional photoshoot from Bruce. His pics have been staples for many of our promo pics in the last several years. Thanks Bruce!

FLINT, MI -- Flint bus passengers heard strings and classical music cut through the din of loud buses and terminal announcements at the downtown bus station Wednesday.
From noon to 1 p.m. July 16, a trio of musicians from the Flint Symphony went to the MTA terminal on Harrison Street in downtown Flint to play classical selections with violin, viola and cello.
The performance was part of the "Culture Shock" program by Communities First Inc., a Flint-based nonprofit community development corporation that focuses on affordable housing, economic development, green programs and quality of life programs. "Culture Shock" aims to broaden residents' tastes and deepen their understanding of arts and culture.
A different trio of musicians from multiple orchestras played during the Second Friday Artwalk in June, and in this July's Artwalk, "Culture Shock" set up a performance by Exclamation, a percussion group from Mott Community College. On Saturday, it took families from the Flint Housing Commission to the Flint Institute of Arts for an art activity and a tour of the museum and gallery.
Future "Culture Shock" programs include another possible Artwalk performance and an event that combines food and sports.
Martha Dellinger-Nass and Miranda Salinas ride the bus every morning, and took time out of their day to watch the trio play at the station. For Dellinger-Nass, the performance was a reminder of her younger days of playing the cello. For Salinas, it was an introduction to a genre of music that she doesn't usually listen to.
"Some people don't even realize that they like it until they hear it, because they're not exposed to it," Dellinger-Nass said. "There's going to be that one person who's never heard it or been exposed to it, and it's going to click with them."
Dellinger-Nass listens to classical music on her record player at home, but she and Salinas agree that the music is best enjoyed in live settings.
"A lot of the time when there are concerts like that, a lot of people can't afford it, even if it's just $10 or $15. Plus, the buses don't run late, so a lot of people don't have the opportunity to go and watch that kind of stuff," she said. "If it's just there, and it's free, I think everybody can appreciate it.
When they saw the string trio playing at the MTA terminal, they decided to wait for the next bus so they could enjoy the performance.
"I don't have a car, so even though there might be concerts that may play throughout the area, I don't have the money or the time," Dellinger-Nass said. "I've got an hour to listen to it, because this might be my only time this year to listen to this."
Near the end of the trio's performance, MTA passengers came by to ask them questions about classical music, their experiences backing up popular artists, cite recognizable compositions like Beethoven's Symphony 5 and Mozart's "Ein kline Nachtmusik," and ask about future performances.
Daniel Winnick is a fourth-year member of the Flint Symphony, and a teacher for a nonprofit that encourages minority participation in classical music.
"Particularly nowadays, the classical world is looking for ways to broaden our audiences. We believe our music can be enjoyed by anyone, it's just a matter of getting it exposed to more people," Winnick said.
"People have some idea of classical music by learning those pieces that seem to purvey the consciousness, but there's so much more to it. That's a foothold that they have...it's just a jumping-off point."

Monogamy continues to be the default for relationships, so discussing a different choice may seem like a very difficult proposition. If you're interested in hooking up outside of your relationship, but don't want to be a cheater, this is one discussion you must have.
Learn the basics of how to talk to your partner about an open relationship, in order to make the experience as effective as possible. Start by being honest with yourself and move on from there with these simple tips.
Figure Out Your Reasons
Bisexuals often prefer open relationships, but that's not the only reason why people end up in a monogamish relationship. A big difference in libidos or simple the need to experiment with things that your partner isn't interested in also lead some couples to open their relationship. However, if the reason is just that you're bored sexually, but your partner is willing to experiment and spice things up, don't rush into opening your relationship.
Make Sure That Your Relationship Has a Strong Trust Bond
Before you talk to your partner about an open relationship, it's important to know that trust is part of the foundation of your relationship. When trust issues are a problem you're already dealing with, trying to go monogamish will probably end up destroying your relationship, especially if you have a jealous partner.
Don't Confuse Being Monogamish with Polyamory
Most open relationship allow some leeway for sexual encounters, either threesomes or separate hook ups, but few allow for any feelings for others get in the way. Polyamory is a lot less common and it involves a strong romantic connection with more than one person. If you cherish your current relationship, make sure that you figure out the rules of opening it up correctly.
Pick the Right Time
The worst time to talk to your partner about an open relationship is in bed, either before or after sex. Choose a good time when your man is in a good mood and approach the subject gently, without rushing into big statements like "This is the only way!".

Be Patient
Once you've brought the idea into the conversation, don't pressure your partner in any way. Some people need a few minutes to make a decisions, others could ponder it for weeks before leaning towards accepting or rejecting it. Time usually works in your favor, so don't push things.
Compromise When It Comes to Rules
As soon as you start to talk to your partner about an open relationship, it's important to make it clear the setting up the ground rules is a collaborative process. There's not one size fits all solution for becoming monogamish. Some couples discuss details, other prefer to be completely in the dark, and most agree to never bring others into their home.
Discuss Healthy Boundaries
While rules can change and evolve, it's important to have some boundaries. Sharing too many details with your partner, even if he says he's fine with it, might prove like too much emotional baggage. Before even thinking about your first experience in a monogamish relationship, talks these things through so there are no misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
Don't Make Ultimatums
Regardless of whether you're taking it slowly when talk to your partner about an open relationship or revisiting the idea, it's important to not make ultimatums. If you feel trapped by monogamy and you're starting to resent your partner for it, you might need to be single. If you do offer the option of a monogamish relationship or no relationship, you might blackmail your partner into something that will create resentment for him.
More: Things You Should Never Say to a Guy
Decide If You'll Keep It a Secret
Many monogamish couples keep that aspect of their lives to themselves and don't discuss it with friends or family. Find common ground and make a decision together on when or if you'll open up to others about your situation.
Make Sure You Show Your Partner He's Still No. 1
One very important thing to always mention when you talk to your partner about an open relationship is how he's the guy you want to be with in the long run. Make sure that your actions send the same message, and you always put him first before any sexual encounters outside of your couple.

Telecom tribunal TDSAT today gave a split verdict in the 3G intra-circle roaming case with its Chairman allowing operators' plea against the government order to stop the service,while its member dismissed it.
The two member bench comprising its Chairman Justice S B Sinha and Member P K Rastogi differed in theirs findings.
Justice Sinha allowed the telecom operators' plea against the government's directive to stop intra circle 3G roaming saying that it was violative of natural justice.
Rastogi,however,dismissed telecom operators plea saying they cannot provide roaming.
The chairman was of view that the DoT had not followed the proper procedure and the operators were not given proper time to put their views.
According to Justice Sinha it was a violation of natural justice. Setting aside the DoT's order to operators to stop ICR roaming,he asked DoT to start the procedure afresh by giving proper time to operators to respond.
Meanwhile,Rastogi dismissed the appeal of telecom operators saying that they can't provide 3G services by having mere 2G licence.
TDSAT has a sanctioned strength of three people including the Chairman. However,due to retirement of its technical member the tribunal now has two people,which led to the split verdict.
The Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) had concluded its marathon hearing on the plea in April.
The tribunal had conducted in-chamber proceedings on the matter,at the request of the operators as they feared leakage of details and cost inputs of their respective Intra-Circle Roaming (ICR) agreements.
The tribunal was hearing a bunch of petitions filed by the operators – Airtel,Vodafone,Idea,Aircel and Tata Tele – challenging the December 23 directions of the Department of Telecom (DoT) to scrap the pacts within 24 hours.
In an interim order on December 24,TDSAT had asked DoT not to take any coercive action against the operators till further orders for their 3G roaming pacts.
Earlier,the operators had handed over the copies of their ICR to DoT on the direction of the TDSAT.
On February 16,the tribunal had asked them to explain as to how they would compensate the government if they lose the case.

Hi Folks, Lloyd here.
Day two of Tea Party Express tour III. Yesterday, we launched in Searchlight NV, Harry Reid's town. Sarah Palin was awesome as usual. Even though I had just performed and was still standing at the foot of the stage, I only got to chat a bit with Todd, Sarah's husband. Great guy! The Secret Service and the crowds, made it almost impossible for me to get to Sarah. Still, I was able to make eye contact and a brief handshake with Sarah. The people absolutely LOVE HER.
Our Searchlight kick off rally was a wonderful madhouse of activity. The location was a dust bowl: not the best venue for such an event. And yet, spirits were high and the atmosphere was electric.
I chatted with Joe the Plumber. Joe complimented me for calling myself an unhyphenated American. Joe said, "I love it every time I hear you say that". Joe and I have done several rallies together. Joe also pushes for us all to simply be Americans.
Actress/comedian Victoria Jackson of Saturday Night Live fame is also on the tour. What a great sincere and honest conservative woman. Victoria spoke and sang her hilarious songs while playing the ukulele. The audience loved her. She wrote a new funny song while we were on the bus. She and I rehearsed it a bit and performed it on stage in front of thousands. It was a hit.
We did two rallies yesterday. We arrived at our hotel around 11am dead tired. Early call this morning to get on the three buses. We are headed to Phoenix. Talk to you later.

25 ways to improve Irvine
We highly suggest residents take the time to read through the plan. After revisiting it ourselves, we were reminded how much thought, work and (yes) planning has gone into managing the city and its growth.
All of this focus on the future got our creative team thinking. How would we improve the city of Irvine? Imagine a great city, circa 2025 or even 2050, and then brainstorm ways to get there. Ideas range from definitely doable to the probably impossible, and even a few that are a bit tongue-in-cheek. Practicality and price weren't necessarily a major consideration—hey, this is blue sky brainstorming, after all!
1. Appreciate Irvine
First things first: can we all agree that we're starting from an admirable place? While some would have us believe that the city is in crisis, in fact things are going pretty much as planned—as in master planned. So one way to improve the city would be for folks to appreciate that Irvine continues to be an economically sound city, with safe neighborhoods and outstanding schools. We have businesses and jobs, with more being created every day (and think of all the places in the country that would love to be able to brag about that). Plus, we have parks (including a Great one that keeps getting better), bike paths, open space and cool new restaurants opening all the time.
2. Preserve Our History
Let's honor our older residents, particularly first generation city of Irvine pioneers who live in University Park and other original/early neighborhoods. We suggest the city support an oral history project, perhaps in partnership with UCI or Cal State Fullerton's Center for Oral History. Students would interview long-time locals about what Irvine was like back in the day, and preserve those memories for posterity.
3. Honor Our Veterans
Speaking of honor, if our veterans believe consideration of a new site for their cemetery is worth studying, let's honor them by actually considering the land swap proposal.
4. Install Wi-Fi Citywide
May we move quickly on high speed Internet, please? We believe the ball's in Google's court, and they're working on entitlements and such. "This means understanding local requirements and challenges – from roads and infrastructure to permits and utility paths. This will take time." So says their website. We'd love to see cable in the ground ASAP.
5. Embrace Planned Growth
Let's all try and embrace the fact that we're a vibrant and bustling 21st century city, not the beige 20th century suburb some still think we are. That means working hard to maintain the quality of life in the villages, while accepting that growth and added density in IBC and Spectrum has been part of the plan for sometime.
6. Improve Traffic Flow
No. 5 being said, let's speed up the process of studying and planning to improve traffic flow.
7. Synchronize the Signals
Let's start by synchronizing the signals. The city's website explains the process as part of the Intelligent Transportation System work. We get that it's not a "flip-the-switch" proposition. But sooner rather than later, please?
8. Realize It's Not Bad
In the mean time, can we just stop complaining about traffic, for a week or month, maybe? Remember, part of the master plan we all enjoy was building our major avenues and parkways wider than needed initially, in anticipation of the growth we're now seeing. For years our roads were underutilized, which is part of the reason why the traffic seems bad now.
9. Encourage Creativity
Let's encourage more civic and commercial creativity like the giant mural on the wall of the Tillys building, off of the 405 and the 133. Whether you loved the art created by painter Zio Ziegler or not, it sure gave us something to look at. Now, give us more.
10. Consider Laguna Canyon Transit Center
In fact, while the big white Cavalia tent was up, that corner seemed incredibly cool and creative. But what's next for the open property between Quail Hill, the 133 and the 405? Cavalia will be back in late November for the holiday season, but then what? Entitlements are for a million square feet or so of commercial space. We'd like to mix that up a bit with a Laguna Canyon Transit Center. All of SoCal impacts traffic in Laguna Canyon, including Irvine residents. Imagine a 21st century mixed-use station where folks could hop on electric shuttles and head to the beach and back. And the center would in turn be connected to Irvine Station, the Spectrum and other areas, while also having a nicely designed parking structure. It would be a joint project between the landowner, our city, Laguna Beach, OCTA, the county of Orange and others. We'd put it next to the freeways and away from the homes of Laguna Altura and Quail Hill, landscape it nicely, add retail and perhaps a few hundred units of transit-oriented high density affordable housing. But otherwise we'd make it as unobtrusive as possible.
11. Look at Light Rail
Speaking of transit, can we seriously study the idea of light rail in the city? It's in the master plan: "Regional Advanced Transit Corridor: Advanced transit routes which serve Irvine and provide connection to the inter-City and regional transit corridors. These corridors use flood control right-of-ways, as well as utility easements, planning area edge buffers, arterial parkways, safety lanes, or similar open space areas. The system envisioned for these corridors is an elevated, grade-separated transit facility."
12. Connect It All
Connecting the Irvine train station to the Spectrum (and maybe to the Laguna Transit Center) would be a good start. Later, connecting the Tustin Station to the IBC and perhaps JWA should be studied. The density we're adding to those areas becomes much more workable with a transit option, and there are "last/first mile" funds available for projects extending connectivity from the rapidly growing SoCal transit network into our city centers.
13. Start Cooking
May we have a food hall, please? Anaheim, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa and other SoCal cities have the cool culinary gathering places where young chefs can flourish. We should too. What's that you say? One's planned for Great Park Neighborhoods? Well, alrighty then. Make it a good one, please.
14. Keep It Civil
Let's celebrate our city's diversity. Most of us do, but there is a bit of "us vs. them" sneaking into online discussion boards and other forums of civic discourse.
15. Put Safety First
We need to continue to improve infrastructure and safety for bikers and walkers in our community.
16. Walk On Over
Plan and build pedestrian overpasses connecting housing to retail centers, like the Spectrum and Park Place, especially where the roads are wide, signals long and drivers impatient.
17. Share The Road
As we're looking at ways to improve traffic, please keep the safety of cyclists in mind. Things that make our drives easier and quicker often put cyclists in mortal danger. They have a right to the road, too.
18. Stop Whining
Let's stop the international airport at El Toro—oh wait, we won that one two decades ago. Just try and picture how Irvine would be different with 1,000 takeoffs and landings a day, and all that traffic and trucks and noise. With that in mind, the issues the city faces today don't seem quite so insurmountable, do they?
19. Improve the Trails
Protect and preserve our open space, but also make it more useable. The dirt Quail Hill Loop Trail, for example, should have a segment connecting to the University Trail, the Jeffrey Open Space Trail overpass and/or the Juanita Moe Trail.
20. Supersize Signage
The signage for our bike paths and trails could be improved, including maps showing the connectivity of it all. Don't take our word for it; this is from a cycling message board: "Irvine has lots and lots of nice trails, but their trail signage program, if they have such a thing, is from the Dark Ages."
21. Build An Amphitheater
This is the last season for Irvine Meadows Amphitheater, alas. Many of us have great memories of concerts and cultural events there. Let's hope we're all making new ones one day at a Great Park outdoor amphitheater.
22. Keep OurElders Moving
Let's study Irvine parks to see how senior-friendly they are. A recent study revealed that parks in the U.S. are largely geared toward the young, with far less appeal for adults, especially older ones. Adults ages 60 and up made up only 4 percent of park-goers, according to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, even though they're 20 percent of the population. We're likely already doing better than most cities at this, but let's make sure.
23. Let's Get Over It
If we had a magic wand, we'd wave it over the city and remove any remaining bitterness and acrimony from the history of how the Great Park got from there to here. Honestly, we're a bit bored with it all. Let's move on, and celebrate the place people are going to enjoy for generations to come.
24. Give Us More Stars
Let's build more amenities and make the city more attractive to tourists. We could use a five star hotel, for example. The new and improved Hotel Irvine is a great start, and we're fans of the surprisingly stylish Courtyard Irvine Spectrum and the evolving Irvine Marriott, among others. But we could use a Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, or something similar to add to our luxury credentials. A design-forward boutique brand would do the trick, too, like a Standard or W.
25. Tidy Up The Tracks
Speaking of the Irvine Train Station, it could use a refresh. We imagine a day when commuters, visitors and tourists would arrive at a cool, aesthetically pleasing station and easily access the Great Park, Irvine Spectrum and other areas of our city. Maybe take a light rail ride over to the Laguna Canyon Transit Center and ride an electric shuttle to the beach.
26. Make Living Here More Affordable
Here's a bonus entry, as long as we're dreaming big: We need affordable housing. We're strong proponents of free markets and property rights. But with some one-bedroom apartments starting at $2,500, young families will simply move elsewhere. Mixed-use developments and infill help fill the need, but only if enough units are reasonably priced. Some OC cities have down payment assistance where first-time homebuyers may borrow up to $40,000 with 0% interest rate. There are upper limits on the value of the home and the income of the buyer. Perhaps Irvine should explore similar programs.
Which ideas do you like, which do you loathe and what are your ways to improve Irvine? Send your comments to firstname.lastname@example.com or post them on our Facebook page.

On April 26 and 27, 2014, Decatur's Mingei World Arts Gallery owners, Ann VanSlyke and Ellen McFee, and TASA members Barbara Sherman and Junco Sato Pollack hosted a weaving demonstration by the Burmese Karen women. The refugee women set up their backstrap weaving looms, yarns, and market bags for sale in Mingei's outdoor courtyard.
Junco, who also answered questions about the future of this project, has worked with the women to create various marketable fabrics and products. The collaboration begins with Junco producing a design sketch with assigned colorways. Artisan Weaver Pa Taw produces one design from it and moves on to improvising and interpreting in the Karen style. She then creates individual warps and sends these to others to weave on their own looms. Junco accompanies Barbara Sherman on her weekly visits, to discuss colors, tools and techniques. The vision is ultimately to leave the designs and yarn selections up to the Karen weavers themselves as soon as they gain experience in the marketplace.
The Karen Weavers Workshop (KWW) was established in 2013 by two women who are members of the Textile Appreciation Society of Atlanta (TASA), an organization promoting an appreciation of the textile cultures of the world. There are many thousands of refugees within the Atlanta metro area and Clarkston, Georgia, in particular. One very fine group of weavers, originally from Myanmar, is the Karen. The Karen women's traditional weaving techniques and designs have been passed down for generations. KWW's goal is to encourage support and preserve this wonderful cultural heritage. The Workshop also hopes to be able to provide a sustainable income for the weavers by marketing their products through the Women's Cooperative at the Clarkston Community Center which believes that collaborating and marketing as a community will translate into success for all artisans.

Stephen Fry: Wagner and Me
Somehow this film, approaching four years old, has evaded me until only a few days ago and I've now watched it twice. The BBC produced documentary finds Stephen Fry, an ardent fan of the music dramas of Richard Wagner, exploring Wagner's world while wrestling with his own Jewishness and the composer's anti-Semitism.
Fry's personality will always be a bit much for some (personally, I've always loved the guy) and he's prone towards a type of childish over-exuberance that puts some off, but he is sincere, earnest and (for folks like me) an engaging part of the film, making me recall my "falling in love with Wagner" experiences of my own youth. (The overture to
Rienzi, then Parsifal - which I understood not a word of but nonetheless grabbed me by the heart and has never let go in the ensuing 40+ years.)
Fry gives short biographical analyses as he retraces some of Wagner's steps through Lake Lucerne, Geneva, St. Petersburg, and opens and closes the film at Bayreuth, first during rehearsals and ultimately entering the Festpielhaus for his first Bayreuth performance. In between he explores the music, speaking with Wagner scholars and historians, a
Jewish cellist who survived Auschwitz, Valery Gergiev, a clearly irritated Eva Wagner (whose German coolness can barely tolerate Fry's exuberance), costumers, and others, (all too briefly), with each shedding their own light on the myriad aspects of Wagner's creative genius and his role within and without music.
His schoolboy enthusiasm may irritate some as in a constant of awe, he reveres a doorknob, Wagner's chair, boxes of wigs, costumes and props, but again, there is an earnestness here that I found endearing . . . and amusing.
The most satisfying musical "bit" explores Tristan und Isolde, as, with Fry, we wander into into the villa Wahnfried, catching Stefan Mickisch playing the snippets of the Liebesnacht and Liebestod on Wagner's own Steinway. whilst explaining the nature of a certain "chord." As Mickmisch plays, the scene intertwines with a live performance (Robert Dean Smith and Irene Theorin, looking more like Richard and Pat Nixon than the legendary Irish Princess and her consort). During the final pages of the Liebestod we weave back and forth between an ecstatic Fry and his pianist friend, and Theorin's Isolde, creating a magically, satisfying effect. It's the best part of the film and a wonderful moment.
Since watching I've had several discussions with friends who deplored the movie, claiming it to be too "vapid" and complaining it didn't go deep enough into Wagner's life and creative process. I could only counter by explaining, the name of the film is "Wagner and Me" not "Wagner and You" or "Exploring the Creative Genius of Richard Wagner," etc. It's one man's sharing of a deeply personal journey and as such, it succeeds marvelously.
If you like Stephen Fry and love Wagner (as I do), and haven't yet seen this, I give it a hearty and heartfelt recommendation.

A study by academics at the University of Lincoln, UK, and the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Kosice, Slovakia, aims to improve our understanding of dogs' behaviour in the owner's absence.
Dog owners are being asked to complete a detailed survey to help researchers analyse the various clinical signs and situations in which problems occur.
Raquel Matos, from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy, is conducting the research alongside the University of Lincoln's Professor Daniel Mills.
She said: "Separation-related problems are extremely common and in some cases can lead to owners feeling they have no other option but to surrender their pet. Through this study we aim to identify the relative prevalence, severity and characteristics of the different types of emotional problems related to separation from the owner.
"Different emotional problems may have a similar presentation with superficially similar clinical signs but may have different underlying motivational and emotional factors. By taking the time to fill out this questionnaire people will be helping to improve our knowledge on this important subject, which may help us develop more effective treatments."
Destructiveness, vocalisation such as barking and whining, and house soiling are among the most common complaints of dog owners.
It has also been established that dogs showing these problems are at a higher risk of a range of other complications.
The researchers hope to apply the findings from the survey to aid the development of more specific treatments and prevention programmes.
Dog owners are asked to take part if their animal shows any signs of depression/sadness; destructiveness; vocalisation such as whining, barking or howling; or house soiling when separated from the owner or left alone.
Please do not complete the survey if you have owned your dog for less than one month; your dog is under 12 weeks' old; there has been a significant change in the household in the last month; or your dog previously showed any of these signs but no longer does.
Owners that wish to further collaborate are invited to send a video of the first 30 minutes after their dog is left alone at home.
To take part please visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/separation-related-problems_dogs

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Black and Hispanic home buyers are more likely to pay high mortgage rates than white borrowers with similar credit ratings and income levels, an advocacy group found.
The Center for Responsible Lending said either loan sellers are charging higher rates to the minority customers or those borrowers are being steered to loan sellers that specialize in higher rates.
Using an industry database, the Durham-based nonprofit center compared credit scores, down payments and other financial information on about 177,000 loans made in 2004 by "subprime" lenders — companies that charge higher interest rates than banks. The lenders provided the borrowers' income and race.
The study, released Wednesday, found that blacks were 29 percent more likely to pay a high interest rate on a fixed-rate home purchase loan. A Hispanic borrower also was more likely to pay a high rate, it found.
"African Americans and Latinos are paying a premium for home loans because of the color of their skin," said Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP's Washington bureau.
The Federal Reserve Board said last fall it had identified about 200 lenders whose records showed possible discrimination. Regulators said they would look more closely at those lenders.
The center's data did not include all the factors used by lenders, such as a borrower's total debts, making the study's conclusions incomplete, said Doug Duncan of the Mortgage Bankers Association. He also questioned the ability of any national study to prove discrimination, which would require an analysis of specific lenders.
The Charlotte Observer reported in August that blacks who borrowed from 25 of the nation's largest lenders were four times more likely than whites to pay high rates. Even blacks with incomes above $100,000 a year were charged high rates more often than whites with incomes below $40,000, the newspaper found.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: buckworks
I had one a couple of weeks ago for $500. The card holder's name, address and phone all checked out. He wanted the item shipped to him in another state. I should have checked to see what association that other address had with him (second home, workplace, relative, etc), but didn't. I just assumed that it was ok, because everything else checked out.
Wrong. His card was stolen, and the thieves charged thousands of dollars of merchandise all over the internet.
I have an address the item was shipped to, and confirmation that it was delivered. That's it. I'm out $500.
At the opposite end of the money spectrum, here's a story about how much of an effort someone will go through to steal a lousy $10 from a merchant. This just happened within the last couple weeks:
Customer orders widget. Billing & shipping addresses are the same and all verified (normal practice). Billing name was different than shipping name (even though same address). Order ships and is delivered. Customer then calls ranting about a charge from us on her card and claims to have never ordered anything, denies knowing the billing name, and demands refund. She's outrageously rude (which is normal behavior for scammers trying to bluff). Call ends. Five minutes go by - we receive another call. This time she suddenly discovers the she has received merchandise and now begins a new cussing rant about the widget itself. We indicate that returning it for refund is no problem. Hangs up. We receive the package marked "returned to sender" which bills postage to us on a non-Priority package. We open the package... no widget (probably because the widget had already been opened and used).
Our summary is that the customer was calling and attempting to bluff her way to a refund... even though the card was not stolen and the transaction was not fraudluent. All that effort for 10 bucks. Sadly, few things are surprising anymore when it comes to how people plan to rip you off.
I once had a week that provided surprises in the mail each day. I received weight-loss programs, stop-smoking patches, male enhancement products, magazine subscriptions and a dozen other items all under $50.
Some scammer had got my credit card information and signed me up for all sorts of stuff. The product was all shipped to my billing address. I could never exactly figure out why it was done, what the scammer had to gain from it. VISA credited me back everything (even though it was less than $50 per item).
Same thing as happened to me so we won't ship until cardholder has been contacted...
I think we have caught 3-4 of these the last couple months. The fraud order has all the correct info but when we contact the card owner we find out it wasnt placed by them.
I really hate to call customers but, with this being the third time in two years that I've been burned, I guess I'll have to do that if the shipping address doesn't directly correlate to the customer's name.
...guy calls up and wants a bunch of ram fedexed...
None of the below behaviors are surprising, but over the last decade or so, we find that orders by scammers usually include some of the following:
1. Ship to different address
2. Ship expedited even if the price is outrageous
3. If comments are allowed on order, there is often a note about urgency
4. Often, there are follow-up emails expressing the urgency and/or notes about compromise just to get the order shipped
5. Communications often include rude or abrupt patterns
6. Something about their order is irregular. Sometimes it's the quantity of an item, combination of items, something selling out of season, etc. Something is breaking a pattern.
Some of these like #1 & #2 are part of regular everyday legit customers though, so it makes it tough to catch them. If we take #1-6 as a collection, we find they can work together to try to profile a scammer.
Aside from actual authorization security measures, I think #6 can be helpful on its own though for attempting to prevent a fraudulent order from shipping. For us, it's partially about our being familiar with our customers' shopping habits. Knowingly or not, experience at order acceptance and fullfillment has profiled a store's customer and sometimes instinct can tell you when something isn't right.
All that being said, we still get burned now and again, but I think experience has helped us keep the monetary loss minimized (especially on a per occurence basis).
Don't ever go out of your way to avoid customer contact. Most people appreciate it to know you're taking care of them.
Best Regards
Either you find out it is a good charge or fraud.
It won't be the scammer because you contacted the bank the card is drawn from and confirmed the cc phone number in the banking files and call only that number to ask the above question.
i'm pretty sure that my auth.net reports just tell me "Visa", not the bank. are you saying you can call Visa, without a full card number, and verify the card holder's phone number?
i was guessing you all meant you called to catch the obvious scammers, the one who either listed the actual owners phone or a dummy phone number.
Recently, for instance, I had a large order with a Canadian billing address shipping to Glasgow. Okay, that's within the realm of possibility. But:
The ip address was of a mobile phone in England.
The phone number of the billing address was located at a different address in Canada and under a different name.
No such person as the billing person seemed to exist in that city.
The shipping address on Google Earth was of a curry shop.
There was a delivery failure on the notifying email address--no such address.
So I figured that one was probably bogus. You might ask why I did not call the phone number given in the billing address. Because a) it wasn't located at the billing address and even if it was a cell phone, b) none of us has any assurance that the phone number given in the billing address actually belongs to the person who owns the card. As soon as you call a thief and ask "Is [customer's billing name] there?" they know they have a dupe on the line. One thing I have noticed. Thieves do not usually contact me about where their order is--only at the beginning, when they want it shipped now now now. Another giveaway. Sometimes I will hang on to an order like this just to see if the customer will contact me and what they say.
I end up wasting a lot of time checking this kind of thing. I wish there were some easier way, but with my setup, not that I know of. It is kind of frightening just how much "fraud prevention" is just plain gut instinct. Why aren't people with cards enraged about this?

You can bet that if the credit cards were held liable for the costs, they would move VERY quickly to put better safeguards in place.
I am sure you can get the numbers call authorize.net and ask and then let me know.
Holy smokes I called them myself and yep your correct you can't get the numbers. How in the world can you do business like that. authorize.net is nutin but a go between you and the cc processor.
I can't see why someone would want to use a go between when you can get a merchant ID and go to the cc processors yourself.
I should add that I have it set up to authorize only. Then I decide whether I want to capture or not. That allows me time to decide if I think it's bogus or not. When I had it set to capture, I did get screwed a couple times.

Well, First Data looks like a payment gateway. They have a gateway charge, which authorize.net does also, depending on your processor. It looks like First Data incorporates the processors into themselves rather than standing separate, like authorize.net does. All this stuff is like one big shell game, IMO. :) Like a bunch of leeches.
You did used to be able to see the whole card number on authorize.net. Then it got so you could only see it if you downloaded a tab file. Then they got rid of that. It was a bother for me when I used to get recharges. Now I figured out how to do that on authorize.net, so I don't care.:)


text: The fighting began shortly after rival political parties agreed to hold elections on September 24 [Reuters]At least 98 people have been killed in three days of ethnic violence in Guinea, nearly double the previous death toll, the government said.The violence happened last week and erupted on July 14 after a man accused of being a thief was lynched. It took place during tense preparations for long-delayed elections meant to restore civilian rule after a 2008 military coup in the West African nation."We are today at around 100 dead - 76 victims in [Guinea's second-largest city] Nzerekore and 22 others in Koule," Damantang Albert Camara, a government spokesperson, said.The government said on July 18 that 58 people had died in the clashes in the southeast of the country between the mainly Christian or animist Guerze community.The Guerze is dominant in the region while Konianke are mainly Muslim.At least 160 more were injured, the government said at the time.The fighting began shortly after rival political parties agreed to hold legislative elections on September 24 after months of deadlock and street protests which often degenerated into ethnic clashes.The government deployed troops to the region to quell the violence, and at least 131 people suspected of having taken part in the killings have been arrested, Camara said."We're now doing a triage to find out who did what. Some were arrested with machetes or clubs but others had (hunting rifles) and military weapons," he said. SOURCE: Reuters Politics Africa Guinea

Taking a Little Seat
by Rachel Hertzberg, Bryn Mawr student and Wyck's Collections Intern, Summer 2018
In most upper-class American homes in the 18th and 19th centuries, children lived totally separate lives from their parents. They were cared for by servants and ate their meals in the nursery. The adage "Children should be seen and not heard" ruled the day. In Quaker households, however, children were integrated into family life; the Quaker belief in equality applied even to the youngest of the community. Children at Wyck took their meals alongside adults and all family members read, conversed, and relaxed together in the parlor. We see evidence of children's participation in life at Wyck in the many children's chairs throughout the house.
This tiny chair is known as a ladderback, a simple style that can be traced to medieval Europe and remains popular to the present day. The carved details at the top of the chair, known as ring and ball finials, are one example of the fine craftsmanship that was prized even in a chair for a young child. This particular chair was custom-made for Richard Wistar who was a toddler at Wyck around the 1730s. Originally painted green, it was known affectionately as "the Wistar throne" and was used by many subsequent generations.
This diminutive chair has an interesting connection to another piece housed at Wyck. As an adult, Richard Wistar suffered from gout and so once again had a custom-made chair, this one enormous to accommodate his swollen legs.
We get a glimpse into the daily lives of Reuben Haines III and Jane Bowne Haines by delving into the history of this adorable high chair. When the two were married in 1812, Reuben purchased a set of formal dining room chairs made of maple and rush, with latticed backs from local "fancy chair manufacturers" Hayden & Steward. A year later, the birth of their daughter Sarah warranted a return trip to get a matching high chair, for which the family paid $3.75. Reuben, or perhaps his mother Hannah, also purchased a small child's chair for Sarah, costing $1.00. As with other children's chairs in the house, the beautiful craftsmanship that was devoted to Sarah's chairs differs only a little from that of the adults' chairs, reflecting the equality of children and adults.

Well it's day two and my new plan seems to be working well for me. I've been focused on eating healthy, protein rich foods the last two days. No problems at all with the plan! I haven't felt hungry, so the protein is definitely keeping me full! I've been cooking a bit more (always a good thing!)... Not just cooking; I do that all the time. I'm actually taking time to plan meals out and prep them. I'm doing more than cooking one or two things a week and eating them all week. I've managed to change up the plan both days and will continue to do so.
I'm doing so well tracking that even with eating out tonight I'll be in my calorie range. Eating out can be annoying when you're trying to eat as healthy as possible. I think that's why it is so easy for people to slip up. Let's face it, when you're out and about the unhealthy (but oh-so delicious) foods are right there on the menu you and at surrounding tables, almost calling out. Boo to them!
I know what the restaurant serves (and what I usually eat there) so I looked up some foods on MFP. I decided that I'll go with a Pleavalean burger (also described as Michigan cherry burger). The burger is made of beef (91% lean, which is way better than most restaurants!) and is enhanced with cherries. They're delicious and somewhat healthy. I tracked a full bun but may only eat the bottom part, or none. We'll see how hungry I am! Those are generally served with fries, which I would've been in okay shape to eat (after working out) but I decided I don't want to waste calories on fries. Instead, I'm asking them to sub a side salad for the fries. My splurge will be regular ranch dressing because that restaurant has awesome ranch! I'll use it on the side, so I won't eat it all. I'm sure there will be an extra cost for the substitution, as there usually is in restaurants. I'm used to it by now!!
Sometimes I dread eating out because of the limited healthy choices offered at some restaurants. Luckily I know what to look for and do the best research I can before I go so that I can have a decent plan in mind. I generally try to aim for the healthiest of choices!!
Yesterday's workout went well. My strength training workout was focused on triceps and shoulders. I did three exercises for each body part, and did three sets of those exercises. I ended up doing them in circuits. I did a set of all of the exercises, then rotated through them again, and again. Some people do a set of one, rest, do a set, rest, etc. I find that to be a bit boring so I changed it up a bit to make it more interesting. I'm still working the muscles which is what matters to me! I'm sore today, so I know the arm moves worked!! After ST I did some cardio; 30 minutes on the treadmill. It was far too hot to consider running outside, so I stayed in the basement. For short periods of time on a hot day, the dreaded torturemill really isn't so bad.
Today is a leg day. I will likely just do legs; no cardio. I am going out to dinner, as I mentioned, to meet with my Mom and some cousins to plan our family reunion. It's coming up in a few weeks so we like to get together before hand to make sure we have a plan of action and to divide up tasks. Naturally I want to get my workout done so that I can shower with plenty of time to get ready for dinner! I also happen to think that running after working the legs probably isn't the greatest idea.... Just sounds painful or something. I'll resume cardio tomorrow, along with abs!
After dinner I'm headed over to my boyfriend's for the night. I'm assuming we will spend some time watching the All Star game and just hang out, as usual. I love how good company really makes time fly (but then I get bummed because it seems to go so fast!). It seems like even if we are just hanging out watching a game and talking, we always have fun. I definitely like being able to just relax and still have fun. I seem to keep busy a lot of the time and really do cherish the moments that the two of us can spend together, not being busy.
So that's about it - so far my new plan is working well. I'm really enjoying it - both the change of pace in workouts and diet. I'm also liking the variety of foods I'm adding to my plan (and the new things I'm trying!). I need to go get my workout started so that I can get ready to head out for the night.
I hope your week is going well!

Once a Friend told me, you have to be content in you singleness before you get married...
I had to think about that long to understand it, that you have to be a whole person before you can offer yourself to someone else, but I wonder if being happy, content, finally accepting your singleness is actually accomplishing being a whole person??...If that was the case, prince charming should be knocking on my door, but the reality is that I don´t think that accepting my single life is accomplishing that.
Don´t get me wrong, I love my single life, I´m content with it, I´m actually attache to it, but I wonder if that's the main reason I´m not in a relationship, but deep down I know the truth (at least for now) I´m loving my new life, and I don´t know if I could give it up.
All my Valentine days where a remainder that I was alone, or in a relationship, they were never about loving my self, and being happy on my own...Now that I look back, I realize that I was never truly happy that day, I never love my self and celebrate my self loving. You know, in your birthdays everything is about you, but not for me, I´m always checking if everyone is having fun and I´m to stress to have any fun, so I never had that day that revolved around me until this last Valentine´s Day.
My friend, Laura decided we would have a girls night Valentine (yeah she took the idea from the movie Valentine´s day) but her idea was different, we make this great invitations, where we had to put something we like about the girl that we invited, so they feel love, the card I receive was decorated with Nicholas Sparks quotes. The party consisted in a party where you could bring only one plus one...YOUR SELF. And we make that day that reminds us all that we where single, a day that reminds us all how awesome we where, we dance, we sing, we play games, we talk, we drink wine...we had a great self loving night.
Of course, me and my single girlfriends still have "not so great" days, when we watch sappy love movies, or read Nicholas Sparks novels, or any romance novels...and we know that doesn´t help, but sometimes is necesarry; but after that down day, that you eat all the ice cream in the world, the next day remember to have fun, go out, and have a self loving day.

Megatrends influence economy, society and politics. What are the impacts on logistics? An Overview on five big Trends:
1. The demographic development of economies
The increasing concentration of the population in large cities and conurbations will also place high demands on logistics in the future. Just think for example about the distribution of goods in these regions over the last mile. In addition, changes in the age pyramid are also leading to new demands among the population, as older people increasingly want goods delivered to their homes.
2. Globalisation and the division of labour
More and more countries that were once recipients of goods and services now want to participate actively in the creation of added value. As a result, more and more products are now manufactured locally, which leads to a greater division of labour and therefore to additional flows of goods.
3. Technology and the Internet
Online shopping has led to almost a doubling of the flow of goods, not least because about 60 per cent of the goods are also sent back. Ever faster data connections provide the opportunity to participate in this trend. This means that warehousing, picking and transport planning will again grow in importance. The efficiency of the Internet has significantly accelerated the processes in logistics and made them more efficient.
4. Customised products for specific markets
There are very few actual global products left these days, and demand in the future will be forcustomised products for specific markets. Customisation leads to diversity and increases the complexity of logistics. The trend towards the ability of online shops to deliver within 24 hours accelerates logistics processes enormously.
5. Sustainability and environmental impact
The various modes of transport must be assessed in terms of their environmental impact, both inintralogistics and in international trade. All logistical elements, from production through to picking to transportation, must also be considered with reference to their sustainability.

The Australian duo The Veronicas are back with Lolita, their first brand new single in almost five years!
Lolita is a smash dance track with a darker twist than what the identical twin sisters are known for.
It is produced by Toby Gad (who previously produced their hit song "Untouched") and it is taken from their forthcoming album Life On Mars which is scheduled to be released next fall.
Listen to it below!
We are already in love with it! Are you?
