3 Things to Do to Ensure the Effectiveness of your Time Tracking App
Getting a time tracking app helps a lot to improve your business. It will be easier for you to determine whether or not your employees are really working to improve the company. You will know who finishes their tasks on time and who is late submitting them. You will also have an idea about the progress of your employees, especially in doing things expected of them.
There are different companies offering this app. You need to find one that is perfect for your business. Don't just stick with free apps available, especially if you can't make the most out of them. Be very meticulous about any apps you consider using and carefully analyse the benefits you will get out of them especially if used for your business. Here are some strategies you can use in order to make the most out of any time tracking app.
1. Read reviews
You should read reviews coming from people who have tried the app before. You should also check the ratings so you have a better understanding about how people in general perceive the app. If you think the reviews are positive and the app can really be trusted to get the job done, consider purchasing it. You can keep searching for other options though if you are unsatisfied with the reviews and you think there a lot of other options out there that you can benefit from.
2.Get a free trial
You can also get a free trial to ensure that you are getting the right app that you really want to use. The trial gives you an idea of how to actually use the app. If you are not happy with the app, you can just look for something else. In doing so, you have not spent anything.
3. Track the progress of users
You might also want to try the app and see how it changes your employees. If you feel like they have improved because of using the app, keep using it. Otherwise, you should start searching for other options. Rest assured, there is a time tracking app that is suitable for your company and your employees.
It takes time to decide on the best one, considering the number of apps to choose from. All of them seem really great. However, you need to be careful in determining which one to use or else you will be wasting your time using an app that does not work for you. Start by evaluating the needs of your employees and asking them what exactly it is that they want to see in any app you might use in the future. Getting information from them will help a lot in changing their perception about the use of a time tracking app at work.

'She actually asked me about it first': Nick Cannon reveals ex Mariah Carey confronted him about getting beauty queen Brittany Bell pregnant
He has a new baby on the way with pageant beauty and former girlfriend Brittany Bell.
And earlier this week, Nick Cannon stopped by LA's hip-hop radio station Power 106 and revealed how his family - Mariah Carey, 46, and their twins Monroe and Moroccan, five - reacted to the surprising news.
The multi-talented 36-year-old admitted he's always wanted more children, and that this new child was definitely not an accident.
Scroll down for video
Open book: Nick Cannon , 36, stopped by The Cruz Show on Power 106 to talk about his new baby and baby mama, and his family's reaction to the news
'The new baby, was it an "oops baby?"' prodded the morning show's host, J Cruz.
'Never an "oops baby!" I'm so calculated with my moves,' the rapper clarified, 'I've always wanted five kids.
'Just because my marriage was over didn't mean I couldn't continue my family.'
The Wild 'n Out star - wearing a black turban with yellow gold diamonds - spilled the details about his new baby mama Bell, 29.
All in the plan: The Wild 'n Out star - wearing a black turban with yellow gold diamonds - spilled the details about his new baby mama Bell
'I wanted to make sure it was someone who was solid, spiritual; had the same views [as me].
'She's been in my life, our families grew up in the same projects together in San Diego,' Nick divulged.
Cannon already has two children, Monroe and Moroccan, with ex-wife Mariah Carey.
Father-of-two: Cannon already has two children, five-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, with ex-wife Mariah Carey
Getting personal: Co-host Krystal Bee asked how Mariah took the surprising news
Co-host Krystal Bee then asked how Mariah took the surprising news.
'She came at me first about it, so it was actually easier,' the Baby On the Way singer recalled.
'She called me and she was funny with it, she was like, "Mhmmm I heard about you out here in these streets."'
And when it comes to his twins, it seems revealing the news to them was even easier.
All about the kids: Cannon reveals that his twins, Monroe and Moroccan, are excited about their new baby brother
'The kids are super excited,' the proud father shared, explaining he spoke to them after the two had watched the movie Sporks, which is an animated film about delivering babies.
According to Nick, his sweet daughter Monroe said as long as she stays the oldest, she's good with having another baby brother.
When asked whether having a child with a new baby mama means he's officially moved on [from Mariah], the actor answered:
'Mariah, Moroccan and Monroe will always be my family, but we always can have other aspects of our family.'
Baby mama no. 2: Brittany Bell, 29, is rumored to be about seven months along
The comedian and his songstress ex-wife are on great terms, having recently spent Thanksgiving in Hawaii together with their twins.
The America's Got Talent host revealed he's planning for more babies in the future, five being the ultimate goal.
And as far as watching his famous ex's show, Mariah's World, Cannon hilariously replied, 'I don't need to watch a show that I've LIVED for years!'

I created this recipe after eating in a local expensive seafood restaurant. Since a fisherman lives here and we generally have the fish and shrimp on hand all the time I decided I can do this. I was right! This is so popular that I was requested to repeat it from one day's meal to the next. The recipe was passed on to a group of outdoor enthusiasts and I was told they could not stop eating it... one man found his wife in the kitchen eating the "leftovers" in the middle of the night. If you do not have redfish, substitute another firm fleshed fish.Submitted by CHEFGLORIA1030

The vegetables can marinate for a couple of hours, so all you'll have to do at party time is arrange them on a platter and top with olives and cheese. Immediately place the prepared vegetables in the marinade so they won't discolor. Be sure to use fresh mozzarella, which comes packed in water and is usually found with the specialty cheeses. Coarsely chop leftovers and toss with pasta for a cold salad.

We know that breakthroughs in technology can be scary, but that is why we are here--to put your fears at ease, and leave you free to Cloud in Confidence. We don't want you left in the new technology dust, so here are 5 reasons why you should be in the Cloud. . .

Whether you are a small business owner, the CEO of a blossoming tech firm, or using the Cloud for personal reasons, the Cloud can store all of your files.
- The Cloud keeps your files organized. How many times have you sorted through emails looking for a file that was sent to you? No more. With the Cloud, your friends, co-workers, and business partners can easily upload files to the Cloud where you will easily be able to find them--every time.
- You, and your employees, have access to files 24/7. We've all had those times when we've woken up to an urgent email, but the files you need are on your work computer. That doesn't matter, you'll be able to access your files from your computer at home too--and now thanks to Viivo's iPhone and Android app, you can access it on your phone as well.
- The Cloud is a great backup for your files. Even if you have everything on your computer, and an external hard drive, it never hurts to have that extra protection when the worst happens.
- Because we always have your back. At Viivo nothing matters to us more than securing your data so that you can Cloud in Confidence. You never have to worry about your files when you have Viivo on your side.
Remember, the Cloud is a great tool--but only if you are keeping it secure.

Here is a Microsoft technet suggestion for backing up the DHCP server.
And here is how to roll the DHCP information to another Server 2003.
But just make sure you keep doing your backups daily at least and test them every once in a while and make sure they are actually working. You can always have a backup system to load the DHCP information on to roll out in a emergency. But otherwise an external backup solution that can restore the machine in a couple hours is about as good as you can do.
See my blog entry: Using net shell to backup/restore DHCP. Let us know how it goes!

There's nothing quite like the smell of turpenoid and oils after a long break from painting. This is my first painting since I finished my Black Series, and I think you'll see the connection.
I'm using a range of different media here, and this photo doesn't do it justice. I love to let my media interact and create textures I would never be able to replicate by hand. One of the richest textures in this painting comes from the a paint medium I use called galkyd, which helps me get that thick gloss surace, and some shellac I picked up at a hardware store.
I believe the galkyd is oil-based while the shellac seems (and I could absolutely be wrong about this) water-based, and I'm getting this really interesting shattering of the shellac surface when it's sitting on top of the galkyd.
As always, it's all about the process for me.

He's looking up at the stars
I'm a long way from home, and he's just lying there, he's just lying in that bed and he's looking up at the stars. The blankets white on his round body must shroud his limbs, and his great round body, and his limbs just lie there.
He's looking up at the stars, and he sees a bird out the window, and it's the only thing that he really knows at the moment, and he knows that a moment is a precious thing. It should be a precious thing, but he can't feel that way right now, even though he wants to. He needs this to mean something, and he can't just go out without any meaning.
And she could be lying there, sitting there with her head propped up against the arm of his bed. She tried to hold a pillow, but it fell, and she must have dozed off for another few minutes, and her head just leaned up against the railing of the bed, and the white blankets fall from him, and they cover her right leg as they fall from him and down past the chair.
The bird is gone for him now, and his eyes look at the ceiling for a moment, and he wonders when they'll come.
Why am I here,
And his eyes look around confused, and the room is dark and it's night time out and there's nobody around to answer him. What a precious thing lost, and I think how precious it might seem to me, and I think that this must have happened before, and it must have happened many times before, but it is fresh yet, beautiful by itself.
And she puts a hand unconsciously on his arm, and he looks down at his arm where another person has touched with him, and touch seems so far away now, and his brow furls, and he will miss this. He will miss her. But she's asleep, and I'm glad she is because it's too sad, and it's too pristine a thing. I wonder if he's glad that she was a sleep. If he knew. And his brow furled, and he can feel her hair, and he just had touched her hair a moment before, but he couldn't touch it now. He wouldn't touch it again, and it was quite real, then.

"Less is More" is cliche is an excellent collection of Judith Neisser's
Made a visit to the Judith Neisser Collection on display at the Art Institute of Chicago Museum. The title of the display is "Less is More", which I thought was kind of cliché and a little pointed at minimalist artists – but I love minimalist work, so it's a display I've wanted to see.
The exhibit introduces itself with a piece by Jannis Kounellus entitled "La Rosa". And yes, as you may suspect, it is the dark rose silhouette above. Actually, that image was probably taken a long time ago. The piece on display shows a significant amount of the unfortunately real force of wear and tear. While first viewing it, I didn't have a clue that the rose was as flat as it appears in the image above. The sides of the fabric are now curled and frilled. While I observed them, I thought textures to be interesting oppositions to one another. I enjoyed the play of the now-wrinkled black fabric upon the warm-neutral, flat canvas.
So I guess this piece has been like a fine wine. I can't imagine a flat rose on a flat background, no matter how dramatic the color and temperature differences, would be as interesting as it is now. I found the now-disassembled pieces of the rose especially interesting, which may not have been something Kounellus was intending at all. The rose called attention to being deconstructed a third time – it is observed in two dimensions with the eyes of the artist, translated onto the canvas and the separations of these pieces called to mind the third process of reinterpreting the piece by the viewer.
Another artist in this first room (actually, right next to Kounellus) caught my eye with some really interesting decomposition of the canvas. Lucio Fontana painted this series called Concetto Spaziale (Spatial Concept) between 1956 and 1966. You can see in the above and below images, the canvas does not function as we expect it to. What we want to be a painting is suddenly an object in and of itself – and I would assert that those are two very separate things.
I should note that these two images are very similar to those on display in the Neisser gallery, but I guess Judith didn't want them all floating around the Intertubes, so I picked these. And I think they pretty well represent the subtle differences in the two on display. I digress – although they are in a sense quite similar, the interaction with these two objects is achieved differently in either. In the top image, the imagery formed around the holes in the canvas come secondary visually to the holes themselves. The hole interacts with the space behind it, which I thought was an interesting concept.
In the bottom image, the holes are visual elements among the textures of the canvas. Their disobedience of the canvas is less obvious – they seem to ask "What is behind the canvas?" while the top image said plainly "Here's what's behind the canvas." I do think the bottom image is more visually interesting in its subtleties than the top image, but I think they're both well executed.
The last image I'll ramble about is this piece by Rosemarie Trockel. This is the part where I encourage you to go see the exhibit – seeing this piece as an image doesn't come close to how interesting it is. The black wool strings are stacked in places (the one above is similar, but the one on display here in Chi was more thickly covered in wool strings). As you move around the black wool, it allows slivers of the white canvas through and appears visually as this very rich textile – something like velvet. It's a very clever and quite thought provoking piece.
Anyway, go see the exhibit, definitely worth the trip (especially on free Thursdays) #winning

Piece of the novel
Okay, so getting over my anxiety about leaving this open for everyone to read (does every artist get that...?). This is a passage from early in the novel. It's a conversation between the character and his little bro.
" Are you awake
I can't really sleep right now
Yeah me neither
My brother and I shared a room, we were visiting somewhere, we slept on strange couches, we are young.
I want to play mega man
We would get in trouble
I don't think mom or dad would hear do you?
I think so but I don't know
What colors would you want to be
Do I just get to pick one?
Ok pick two
I would be the red and gold quick one and the metal one
I would take the blue one and the freezing one
Why would you be the freezing one?
He can stop time and shoot you, you couldn't do anything
Yeah actually that's a good one
How do you know what colors you see are the ones I see
Because we can both see red is red?
No but what if I saw red as your yellow, but we just learn them as the same
I don't know… that is weird
I know, weird
I wouldn't want to be the green one
But what if he was actually the pink one
We laugh
They both kind of suck
No they don't!
We laugh
I know, the pink one is good
Yeah I know!
We laugh
It would be cool if you could get multiple lives
Yeah, that would be cool. And if you could just find them around, like on different levels. You could get a bunch of them stored up.
That would be cool, I bet we would be good too.
Yeah, really
But what would happen if you didn't have any more lives?
You would just die
You don't think you would start over?
Hmm… maybe
Yeah, maybe… I wonder what it's like to be dead.
I don't really know. I think it would probably be dark, but that's about all I know
Unless you were in heaven
Yeah, then it'd be different
I wonder what heaven is like
I don't know, I just think of a bunch of clouds and light things and a blue sky
Yeah, I think of that one too, and God has a beard that's white
Uhhuh. I wonder what Hell is like.
Shut up, I don't want to talk about that!
Okay, I just mean I wonder what you know…
Are you okay?
It sat heavily upon both of our minds, we no longer spoke, we both looked blankly towards the white ceiling turned black with shadow. A fan hummed slowly above, we both watched it carefully, the severity of an eternal torture fresh and new, unexposed to the staleness it would eventually carry. The staleness of a red devil with a mustache, a pitchfork, the severity not yet diminished for repetition. The fires and oranges and demons and torture, and to be cast away from god and everyone else who went to heaven. And in the scope of one hundred years of life, eternity was anything but trivial, the implications of an afterlife were far but real. But children go to heaven, as long as they're baptized, maybe even if they're not, it's not obvious.
And where was death, how would I know it was coming, how could something be forever.
Do you think you could really live forever?
I think so… what else would there be?
I don't know, you would just… not be there anymore
Isn't it kind of scary to live forever?
Yes… but dying is scary too
We are lost in the predicament, and which is weightier.
Are you crying?
It's okay… it's not going to be for a long time probably.
Well yeah, well… I just think it's far away
Okay, yeah, me too
The light is gone save stars in the window, but they are mild and distant. The darkness encompassed the room, left the possibility for anything to exist in that intangible space.
What do you think dad meant on the phone. Do you think mom is sick?
No, he just said she had a cold, she's not really sick
Oh okay, who was he talking to?
I don't know, maybe the doctor's office.
And they said she was okay?
Yeah, she has medicine, dad picked it up.
I was a little bit worried about her
Yeah, I think she's fine though.
A short pause enters the conversation, we digest the conversation, he says it first
What if mom was really sick
I don't think she is.
I know, but what if she got really sick?
And silence slips into the conversation, into our thought processes. The possibility is unreal, it presents itself as an alien, it is impossible and amazing, it does not connect to everyday life. It is the other, real's counterpart, and slowly, slowly the realization came. The thought processes synergized, and the gravity of what this might mean was overwhelming.
It would be okay because she would go to heaven, and I exhale, I have solved the problem
Yeah, and I can hear him sniffle. The thought has him crying again, harder, it is painful and logical with the world as I know it. Coco died, I will die, Mom will die. But no one knew quite what it was to die, because no one could tell us. We knew only that it was quite separate. And so we must simply believe. And I try to believe, but I am not quite sure what it is.
But if I was the blue one, I'd freeze time, my grin invisible, but he could hear it. And he laughed, we laughed. And you'd just be stuck with the pink one.
Shut up, I wouldn't be the pink one!
We laugh, Fine, fine.
Did mom say you have a baseball game tomorrow?
Yes, in the morning. Can I use your glove?
Why, I ask, but I already know
Because… you know why… Mom wrote my name in big letters all over it, it looks so stupid
It really did look silly, I would have been embarrassed to wear that glove if I were him. She had this big black marker and wrote his name and phone number in big letters across one of the fingers, and again on the inside of the glove. So whoever was throwing to him saw all this silly writing with his name and some numbers, and it really did look silly.
I let him sit there in the dark for a little while though. It was my glove after all. I didn't really want him getting it all beat up or throwing it around or something. He probably wouldn't though.
Fine, I guess
Thanks, I could tell he was smiling
And the darkness to overwhelm the conversation, sleep to follow, rhythmically, the breathing in the room was grounding, he turned under his blankets and rustled his sheets. The sounds of the room, and the darkness just before sleep."
Appreciate any thoughts or opinions you guys have, I hope that my style leaves some room for you to find yourself in the character's perspective - perspective is something which really interests me.

Short version:
M W Taylor is otherwise known as Mark Taylor, but there seems to be a lot of them in the world, hence having to use his initials. Unfortunately he also thinks it makes him sound intelligent. A forensic photographer for Scotland Yard for over 23 years, Mark has seen many unusual sides to life, often giving a unique slant to his writing, especially in his first novel "The Awakening of Adam Capello". You can find copies at Amazon worldwide or Waterstones.com and in Foyles Bookshop Charing Cross at a ridiculously fair price.
Long version:
Right from the beginning I was hip. Born on the summer equinox, June 21st 1964, I was the illegitimate love child of a Scientologist father and a mother that was trying to escape her overbearing parents. I was born with a small crop of hair that was very fashionable at the time and so they nicknamed me "The Beatles kid". Unfortunately I have never managed to be that cool or fashionable since.
My mother finally escaped when I was two years old, but without me. This led to growing up in several children's homes, interspersed by cramped father's house stuffed full of his hoarded books, that left little room to breathe. This is not the reason I took to writing though. Instead that passion has always lain within me, stirred by being a little different amongst the other school children, or later when I started seeing the world. From the age of twelve I was lucky enough to start flying. Cyprus, Greece, Switzerland and Israel, but never staying in hotels, as my father did not like to spend his hard earned money. Instead we would hitchhike, and then burden ourselves on the poor driver's floor. Hay lofts, beaches, the most disgusting hostel in Jerusalem, bunk beds in a house that had left its door open, a park in Paris and several kibbutz camps as we travelled to the Dead Sea. Not bad by the age of seventeen, and possibly good training for three months in Honduras on an archaeological expedition at age twenty.
But all of this is about travel, which by all other endeavours can be counted as commendable if the host is kind enough to listen, but tells you nothing about my writing which had still not really started, save for short stories and poetry. A lack of confidence in my English grammar was possibly my first hurdle, fermented by my humble upbringing. The travel did furnish my mind with lots of different foreign worlds, all with their own flavours and spirit, and gave me the chance to see how big the world truly is.
At seventeen I had also managed to get a job as a photographer's assistant, a young virgin, bashfully setting up the lights around the naked models as they would tease me. Better than the bullying in the playground though and the memories are fun. From assistant to photo lab boy to Honduras to photo lab manager to cruise ship chief photographer to photo lab operations manager… it was all going so well, and then I joined the Met police as a crime scene photographer at twenty-seven. Yep, interesting days (and lots of nights) with interesting sights through the bright lights and murky streets of London. It was a job in which I stayed a lot longer than the three years I planned. Twenty-four years of crime scenes from Brixton to Phuket in Thailand. Working for the Met police served me well in some regards, but it also stifled my creative energy.
Writing finally became my artistic, creative outlet (crime scene photography is all technical stuff), and by the time I reached 48, all my experiences from life and travel and my father's Scientology ramblings bore fruit within my first book, "The Awakening of Adam Capello," a book that just could not have been written earlier, as I had to live through it first. Hopefully you will find it was worth the journey.

NJ Today
The tight security ring around the convention site in downtown Tampa has kept protesters far away from conventioneers, but a small group of Occupy protesters targeted this morning's New Jersey delegation breakfast where former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu and Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman were scheduled to speak.
It is a little publicized fact of political conventions that most of the extra-curricular activities are sponsored by corporations. Their interest is in lobbying the lawmakers and other politicians who are gathered here, and this morning's breakfast was no exception. But, right before Whitman was introduced — and, incidentally — after consuming the corporate-sponsored breakfast, a group of three Occupy protesters began chanting anti-corporate slogans.
The stunned delegates were silent at first, but then chanted the demonstrators down as they were escorted from the ballroom. We asked the protestors what it was about New Jersey that made them target this morning's breakfast.
"We were happy to target any convention breakfast," said Dana Rossing, who traveled to Florida from Minnesota for the convention. "This just happened to be the one where the New Jersey delegation was in."
Back inside, Whitman and Sununu ignored the disruption. Their job was to rile up the Republicans in the room, and Sununu, especially was on his game.
"The biggest problem we have today is we have a president who's never had to make a decision in his entire life. Never had to make a decision in his entire life until he became president of the United States," he said mockingly. "[The presidency] is not the right office for on-the-job training."
Afterword, before a small crowd of reporters, he continued: "This president is a fraud. This president never did anything in his life, and he's done nothing as president. It's the same as the 'Emperor has no Clothes' story. It's my job to point out that he's a fraud."
Whitman, an unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate in California two years ago, was a tad less strident, choosing instead to target President Obama as indifferent to American manufacturing. She said countries like India, Singapore and Russia are in HP's offices making the case for their countries.
"How often do you think the president of the United States has been in my office, making the case for the United States of America?" she asked. "Zero. And so we got to have somebody that wants to compete for America. We want someone who can lead and compete for our country, for the jobs here, for hi-tech manufacturing and that is what I know Mitt Romney is going to do."
Demonstrators say they were successful in making their point, delegates say they were successful in shouting them down and in a week where politics is the main course, it seems, for both sides, it was a case of mission accomplished.

About this image
M55 is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. Quite large on the sky (about two thirds of the Moon's diameter), but with a very loose, almost non-globular, appearance, M55 is about 18000 light-years away and about 100 light-years across. This composite was created from images taken in June 1996 at the Burrell Schmidt telescope of Case Western Reserve University's Warner and Swasey Observatory, during the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program operated at the Kitt Peak National Observatory and supported by the National Science Foundation.

When you travel often, you notice venues that fit perfectly into their surroundings. The beachside bungalow bars of Hawaii; the noodle shops in Vietnam; the sidewalk cafes of Western Europe. And then there are the places that stand out from the crowd, one culture in stark contrast to another. Harry's American Bar in Paris is an example, but with droves of Americans visiting Paris each year, it's no real stretch. But Mexican food in Japan? A tequila bar in Tokyo? That's enough to attract the attention of even the most seasoned traveler.
The aptly-named Agave in Tokyo is a Mexican bar and restaurant, serving up Mexican food, cigars and an astonishing 300-plus brands of tequila. And unlike "theme bars," which base their business on tacky themes rather than quality goods and services, Agave is the real deal. The food and drinks are spiked with traditional Mexican flavors, and the Latin music and artwork depicting historical Mexican figures further set the scene.
Drinkers who can't stomach straight tequila can opt for Mexican beers, wines and fresh cocktails, including margaritas, mojitos and daiquiris. The assorted menu features snacks and appetizers from nachos to tacos to stuffed jalapenos.
With so many bars and restaurants in Tokyo, a traveler could spend a year eating and drinking at different spots each day without making a dent. The variety and quality of Japanese food alone is enough to keep most travelers—and residents—happy, but travelers looking for something a little different would do well to check out Agave, the authentic Mexican oasis nestled under the bright lights of Tokyo.

This is a snapshot of North Devon in March taken by professional photographer Rosie Wade on her phone. It makes you feel wet just looking at it, but the damp atmosphere seems to bring out the rich red tones of the brickwork. I'm not arguing in favour of rainy weather tourism, but if you visit anywhere in the British Isles at any time you better pack a mac. Don't let rain be the reason for not doing what you want to do.
Do it anyway.
In fact, some of the most memorable days of childhood may come from the wet days. My sons remember with great affection clambering about on a deserted Cornish beach in the rain and none of us will ever forget the wet Sunday afternoon spent in Normandy when we took refuge in the Camembert Museum.
There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing, said Alfred Wainwright the famous guidebook author and illustrator. He was an authority on fell walking in the Lake District and in the 1970s worked out his own 192 mile Coast to Coast route from the Irish Sea in the west to the North Sea on the east coast. And if you're going to embark on a trek like that – which Wainwright thought should take 12 days – you know at some point you're going to get wet before you even think about taking a dip in the sea. It has since become the most popular long-distance footpath in the UK, but more surprisingly in 2004, the walk was named as the second-best walk in the world according to a survey of experts. It even beat the Inca Trail.

Palm Releases webOS 2.0, SDK to Developers
One of the most important new features is "Stacks" which has been touted as the "next-generation of multitasking." The new feature, which expands on the concepts of "cards" from the first version of the webOS, which can be seen on the Palm Pre, allows users to group related cards in stacks, which allows them to reduce the clutter on their mobile desktop.
Obviously a response to Apple's iOS 4 and Google's Android 2.2, webOS 2.0 is the first major update to the webOS platform since Palm was acquired by HP for $1.2 billion previously this year. Palm plans to appear on an HP-built iPad competitor soon, as HP has already indicated that they are interested in a webOS-based touchscreen tablet.

Automated Marketing is also known more commonly as "Drip Campaign Marketing."
It is a process whereby you set up a campaign made of up of a number of emails with relevant and interesting information to be sent on a regular basis to the people in your database, via an automated process. This is a way to consistently remind your database of the services you offer, an update on market conditions, and a way to ask for referrals. By keeping in touch with your database, you build a relationship with them.
Utilizing Automated Marketing frees your time up as an Agent, allowing you to do the things you so best. However, keep in mind, email marketing doesn't replace the personal touch. Campaigns should also be paired with call reminders, birthday or special occasion personalized contact, and handwritten notes when possible.
We highly recommend personalizing your campaigns so they appear to be coming from you personally. Campaigns built into company systems are OK for cold leads, but the people in your database whom you want to build a relationship with, deserve more than a canned email.
At Real Estate Technology Associates, we can write and implement customized campaigns on your behalf and manage your database marketing for you. CONTACT US TODAY TO LEARN MORE

About The Conservatory
The highly qualified staff at the Conservatory teach Violin, Viola, Cello and String Bass to students of all ages and skill levels, and is growing to meet the needs of the greater Corona area.
While the local schools teach band programs very well, strings are not covered to the same level. To help balance this, we began the Corona Symphony Conservatory. Immediately, the program garnered support from students and the community.
The Conservatory offers a complete curriculum for every level of player, including small group lessons, music theory and a large performance ensemble, and eventually participation in our Corona Youth Symphony. Our focus is on Classical literature, and we have orchestrated, arranged, and composed music for the Conservatory needs in an effort to make this literature accessible to even the most beginning students. We have created a curriculum and structure that can grow to serve hundreds of students playing orchestra instruments that are not currently served by public school music programs, often due to budgetary and other logistical concerns.
The Conservatory also acts as a bridge between young musicians, their parents, the community and the Corona Symphony. Our goals are to create a program which both supports the Symphony and benefits from the musical experiences the Symphony offers. The Conservatory is actively teaching toward the long term goal of a child that began at the Conservatory joining the Corona Symphony as a full-fledged professional member.

Designer Tans
As you may know, we're loving tangram puzzles at the moment.
I had the idea today that I'd like to make some out of shrink-film.
I didn't know if they would turn out alright, as this involves shrinking plastic, and I didn't know how plumb (flush) they would be. They're not absolutely perfect, but I think the fit is true enough to be quite satisfying.
Here's how we did it...
We only used shrink-film (four sheets for two sets of tans), sandpaper, and sharpies - you can also use colored pencils.
For tools, we used scissors, cardboard, and two pieces of wood.
First you need to sand one side of the plastic both ways - horizontally and vertically so that your medium can stick to the film. Leave the other side shiny.
Our sheets are 8x11 inches, so I measured to make an 8" square. (From this, the final size after shrinking was about 4 1/2 inches square.)
I then cut it out, and used that as a template for the second square.
Note: if you haven't cut shrink-film before, do so carefully - it can tear pretty easily.
I drew a line across one of the squares, dividing it into halves -
these are the large triangles.
The second square I cut into halves by way of making two rectangles (each 4x8 inches).
One of the halves can be made into two squares - leaving the second square for the second set of tans.
The other half of the square - the large rectangle, can be divided up easily into two small triangles and the parallelogram.
Mark the half way point of the long side of the rectangle - in this case, at 4 inches.
Draw a line from this half-way point to the corner of the rectangle, making the first small triangle, and then cut it out.
Take this triangle, and using it as a template, draw another line, making the parallelogram and second small triangle.
You now have six of your seven tangram pieces - plus an extra square.
With the third sheet of shrink-film make another 8" square.
Cut this one also into two large triangles.
Cut one of the triangles in half - making two medium-sized triangles. One of these is the last tan, and the other is the medium triangle for the second set.
With the other half, you can make the two small triangles and the parallelogram.
Either use a small triangle from your completed set to make your first small triangle at the top of your large triangle,
or by marking the 1/2 point on both short sides of the triangle,
the cutting it out.
Use this as a template for the second triangle, leaving you with a parallelogram.
Now you have one full set of tans, and the square, medium triangle, the parallelogram and two small triangles for the second set.
With the last sheet, cut it square, and then just cut it in half, leaving you with the two large triangles.
Your two sets are complete!
Decorate them as you wish, using permanent markers or colored pencils.
Place them on a piece of cardboard, place another piece of cardboard over the top of them,
and put them in the over on 300-350 degrees (f),
After a couple of minutes, check on them,
and when they're finished (it really only takes like three to five minutes) take them out of the oven and carefully (they'll be hot!) put them on a cutting board and then quickly cover that cutting board with another wooden board so that they'll harden as flat as possible. (Press on it if it isn't very heavy.)
They're done!
Aren't they beautiful?
Note: This was a true lesson in geometry for me, and I think it would be a great challenge for older children to try to figure out for themselves - ie to team up with another and work it out with paper to make the tans the most efficient way. It took some figuring before I could make two full sets with only four sheets - the first ones took me just a little over four sheets. :)
Happy puzzling!

these are BEAUTIFUL!! ani and i were just playing with our "tangoes" - a set i picked up somewhere. i was just trying to remember - didn't you also make some with foam? we just kind of make our own images, as the ones suggested are a big difficult for ani yet...ReplyDelete

We played with our tanagrams today too. These though...so pretty. Still...the melting, shrinking plastic freaks me out a little. Not sure I could get over that. xoReplyDelete
Yup. Foam. Clay. And now ShrinkyDinks. :)ReplyDelete
I love the clay - I'm just not sure yet how well they'll hold up....
Have a new recipe to try tomorrow, I think.
I know. It took me a while before I wasn't afraid of it. :)ReplyDelete
Those. Are. Awesome!ReplyDelete
We did something like this. I made tangrams out of paper. We didn't make them out of a hard material or color them, tho.ReplyDelete
We use to play with Shrinky Dinks when I was a kid. I found them again last year at some point and was obsessed with them for a while. My at the time 4yo didn't get how cool they are. Maybe I should try again and make some puzzles.ReplyDelete
So cool :-) My DD2 is currently into playing with Tangrams on her DS - I'll be knocking up a batch of these beauties for her to get a more tactile experience. I think I might get all the wee ones here to make a batch for themselves. Thank you :-)ReplyDelete
LOVE this so much. You have the best ideas :)ReplyDelete
I made foam tangrams that get fished out periodically, but tangrams you can decorate are so much more fun.ReplyDelete
Off to source some shrink plastic!
And I was going to ask you how long it took to work out the cutting plan. Very impressive :-)
beautiful, indeed!ReplyDelete

The theme of the day's assembly was "Save our Environment".
Children assembled enthusiastically in the bright morning sun and heralded the start of the event with the 'thought for the day'.
This was followed by the NEWS, where children highlighted the problem of fog in the national Capital New Delhi and Donald Trump's surprise victory in the race to the office of President of U.S.A. While latest technological advancements in telecommunication was the dominant News from the field of Science, the start of the Test series between England and India was the pick in sports News. The News concluded with an update on the weather.vChildren then presented a thought provoking skit and a Tamil poem on environmental degradation. They followed it up in their colourful attire and put up an excellent show of well choreographed dance.
It was now the turn of the very talented singing sensations in the class to render the melodious Michael Jackson hit number 'Heal the World'. All of this kept the assembly lively.
To conclude the events, it was time for some serious quizzing and the children responded spontaneously with many correct answers.
The assembly drew to a close with some inspiring words from Ms. Bhargavi and the vote of thanks by students thanking the Principal, the teachers, support staff and most importantly the people behind the day's show.
This assembly was the right opportunity for children to showcase their innate talents and they made best use of it by coming up with a spirited display.

One of Tom Landry's famous hats and game-worn Hall of Famer jerseys are part of next month's live auction by Heritage Galleries.
A Tom Landry game-worn fedora, sported on the sidelines of Texas stadium during the 1980s by the legendary Dallas Cowboys coach, will be featured in the Oct. 1-2 Signature Sports Memorabilia Auction at Heritage Auction Galleries. The hat is just part of a large group of Cowboys' memorabilia included in the auction event at the company's Dallas headquarters.
"Tom Landry represents everything hallowed about the 1970s and 1980s glory days of the Cowboys," said Chris Ivy, Director of Sports Auctions at Heritage, "and there was no symbol more emblematic of those amazing teams than Landry's iconic fedora."
Along with Coach Landry's stylish 7-3/8s Churchill, Ltd. Gray hat, Heritage will also be offering a 1970s-era clipboard used by Landry complete with handwritten plays and coaching whistle.
A game-used jersey worn by Roger Staubach and an early 1990s game-used uniform from Troy Aikman are being offered in compliment to the Landry lots.
"The Staubach jersey is from the early '70s," said Ivy. "It's a version of the dark blue uniform worn by the Cowboys mostly as road-jerseys during that part of the decade. Since the dark blue jerseys were worn with much less frequency than the home white there is much less wear and tear on this shirt than you might otherwise find, which makes it all the more desirable."
Troy Aikman's circa 1992 game-used uniform comes to Heritage in fantastic shape and is a hard-to-find relic from the beginning of the 1990s Cowboy dynasty, of which Aikman was arguably the biggest part.
Other Cowboys pieces, all hearkening back to the championship eras of the 1970s and 1990s, complete the team offerings in the Heritage Auction. Highlights include:
Early 1970's Bob Lilly Game Worn Jersey:
The white heavy-duty cotton shirt features the Hall of Famer's #"74 on the sleeves, front and verso. Exhibits some team repairs. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.
1993 Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl XXVIII Championship Ring:
The second of three Super Bowl Championships in a four-year period. Staff member's ring announces "Dallas Cowboys" on the face, along the perimeter of a faux diamond-studded football at center. Left shank pictures the logo of Super Bowl XXVIII, a pair of Lombardi Trophies, and the words, "World Champions, Back to Back." Right shank features a miniature Cowboys Stadium, the NFL logo, and the identity of the former owner. Estimate: $3,000-$5,000.
1980s-1990s Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famers & Legends Signed Helmet:
More than 35 autographs are included on the ProLine helmet. Among the names: Aikman, Landry, Schramm, Renfro, Adderley, Lee Roy Jordan, Howley, Walls, Too Tall Jones, Lilly, Dorsett, Perkins, Pearson, Wright, Morton, Herb Scott and more. Estimate: $1,500-$2,000.

3rd October 2015
Been a bit obsessed the last few weeks with sport esp football, rugby and cricket and won't go into details. Instead choosing to discuss what I have been up to recently. Well the volunteering is going well and currently getting help at the job centre. My nephew Lucas has turned a year old, doesn't time fly. As mentioned in previous blog post I went to see a show in Balham, South London with former Eastenders star Shana Swash, which was fun despite initial mix up which meant I accidentally went to wrong show at wrong time but I got refunded and still attended Swash's Private Peaceful Show.
Will be seeing another show soon Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with my old fave, Carley Stenson at Wimbledon with plans to do a tour of the All England Club there on the same day exploring the Ball family Womble origins. So yes a bit of sport mentioned anyway off to watch football as I write and have a good weekend people.

Italian line Fornarina manages to find a model who, just like the collection, is a complete mess!
Watch your back Gisele Bundchen and pack up your bags, and put down your Blackberry, Naomi Campbell, there is another model making her return to the modeling world — Lindsay Lohan! The utter mess is once again the face of Italian line Fornarina, managing to strike a series of awkward and unenticing poses to go with the generally lacking collection. It's a match made in fashion heaven!
Take a look at Lindsay working hard for the money in the gallery above! And if you are really a glutton for punishment, watch the video of Lindsay's last campaign for the brand. We can only pray another one of these gems is coming our way with this campaign!
Bang, wink, snap. Fornarina!

"What the hell is this?"
Just some pearls of conversation (conversatials) I've heard while out and about, because I'm a good listener.
"Who does the illos?"
My brother, Ainsley, does the illustrations. Visit his website. Please note: the interpretations of the conversatials by the illustrator may bear no resemblance to the original situation in which they were heard.

International civil society opposes binding rules on "Trade Facilitation" in the WTO
|No to Trade Facilitation in WTO, FTAs and EPAs English
|No Facilitacion del Comercio OMC - Español
|No Facilitation du Commerce OMC - Francais
Today, 188 organizations representing a wide diversity of civil society from developing and developed countries, called on government representatives in Geneva to "abandon the negotiations towards a binding agreement on Trade Facilitation in advance of the upcoming 9th Ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Bali." Among the endorsers were 23 major international and regional networks, such as the ACP Civil Society Forum, LDC Watch, the Africa Trade Network, the Arab NGO Network for Development (ANND), Plataforma Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, Democracia y Desarrollo (PIDHDD) in the Americas, the Pacific Network on Globalisation (PANG), and the Asian Peasants Coalition (APC). The letter was organized by the Our World Is Not for Sale (OWINFS) network.
The letter states "[b]inding rules on Trade Facilitation should not be promoted either inside the WTO through the proposed Trade Facilitation (TF) agreement, nor through other avenues such as bilateral or regional Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) or Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). Developing countries should have the policy space to adopt, at their discretion, higher levels or standards and customs–related procedures as and when capacity exists to do so."
WTO members in Geneva are currently negotiating a proposed package toward the upcoming Ministerial in Bali. Two aspects of the package could benefit development prospects, particularly the proposal of the "G33"group of 46 developing countries to allow developing countries to promote domestic Food Security, and a package of proposals focused on the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), which the letter states would be a "starting point" towards "rectifying historical imbalances and asymmetries in the WTO, in order to provide more policy space for countries to implement solutions to the global economic crises." But the letter highlights that on the contrary, the proposed agreement on Trade Facilitation follows a "model of corporate-driven globalization focused on increasing the volume of trade, rather than achieving globally-shared development goals through rules that facilitate countries' use of trade policy for their own development needs, and in accordance with their levels of development."
The letter notes that there is no empirical evidence of benefits to developing countries from the proposed Trade Facilitation agreement; that the costs are un-accounted for, while it would likely lead to a loss in budget support for development priorities; and that the agreement encroaches upon national regulatory and policy space, and would erode rights of LDCs and developing countries. It further notes that it would be more accurate to call it an "import-facilitating agreement", because it would require developing countries to implement a set of rules reflective of the current trade facilitation practices of the developed countries. "This would likely lead to the further privatization of ports, customs operations, and shipment processing, which leaves little or no space for local operators, and which has already led to a loss of jobs, downward pressure on wages, and erosion of labor rights for public workers in these sectors."
The letter is attached in English, Spanish, and French.

Fragile Travelers
In Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary, Flaubert attempted to highlight the ordinary, tired, and often crass nature of common expressions by italicising them within the text. When Charles, Emma Bovary's mediocre husband, expresses himself in a manner akin to that of a million other colourless men before him, Flaubert uses italics to lift the expression up from the page in order to highlight the character's paucity of creative expression. Here, Flaubert acknowledges, is a very boring man. And thus: Emma begins to dream of a life better lived.
Jovanka Živanović's novella, Fragile Travelers, also contains a dreamer. Her name is Emilija, or Ema, which is surely not a coincidence. In her waking life she is a high-school teacher. In her dreams she is much more: philosophical, introspective, able to fly, carrying a serpent baby in her womb. Dream things. And she has, perhaps accidentally, captured a man within her dreams.
Petar Naumov, an architect, lucky with the ladies, and bored at home, is this man. The opening chapter, which is narrated with a cool detachment that juxtaposes pleasingly with the later chapters which are told almost entirely in first-person, has Petar's wife return home to discover that he might have been burned up in a house-fire, although the evidence for this is more than a touch sketchy. On the fourth page of the novella we are told, "On his way to buy some coffee, Petar ended up in a woman's dream—and got stuck there." So has he died, or is he missing, or has something else entirely occurred?
Lest this concept frighten the less intrepid reader, Živanović takes pains to assure us that this novella, though it may explore difficult themes in a challenging manner, will remain, in terms of style, light and welcoming. Here is Petar's wife Anđelija reflecting on her life immediately upon discovering that her husband has likely burned to death:
She'd just come back from a seminar organized by a well-respected, globally renowned insurance company where she had recently secured herself a job. She'd learned how to convince people that there was nothing more urgent or more important than insurance.
This playfulness continues in chapter titles, which includes such examples as Chapter 8, "Association Games are for Experienced Players Only," or Chapter 7, "The Importance of Hydro Potential in Maintaining Mental Hygiene."
These chapters alternate relatively smoothly between Petar and Ema as they explore these dreams and attempt to come to terms with the people they have ended up becoming, and how that reflects on the man or woman they wish to be. Such introspection runs the risk of coming across as maudlin and self-indulgent, akin to the plaintive musings of a sullen sixteen year old, but by using the idea of the dreamer and the dreams, these traps are almost entirely avoided, and instead Živanović is able to dig deep to discover the true yearnings of her characters while retaining a light tone. Consider:
I admired everything about him because of my idiotic enthusiasm for people who could do everything that I couldn't: pilots, parachutists, divers, surgeons, high-rise window washers, professional prostitutes, jugglers, and practitioners of other marvelous crafts.
It is hard not to smile at the phrase 'idiotic enthusiasm." Živanović's writing reminds one of Gonçalo Manuel Tavares habit of blending the clever with the witty or, perhaps closer to home, the writing of Svetislav Basara, particularly the funnier parts of The Cyclist Conspiracy, or the entirety of Chinese Letter. Živanović remains aware, however, that a character thinking a thought is not sufficient to elevate it to the profound. Again borrowing from Flaubert, when characters think with humdrum thoughts, a similar technique of italicisation is utilised. For example: "My accomplishment was really something to take my hat off to." Instantly the text elevates the banal by drawing attention to it.
Petar and Ema, as the novella progresses, become bound closer together as Petar begins to understand the dream world in which he has found himself, and Ema comes to terms with her inner and outer fragility. Wanting—or needing—a protector isn't necessarily a sign of weakness, and being able to protect another person doesn't always mean that you are strong.
It's worth noting that, although the word "dream," or some variation thereof, has been used ten times in this review, Fragile Travelers is, in fact, a readable, concrete, tangible piece of work. Yes, there are times when a character's brain will (metaphorically) jump from his head and frolic in the grass like a sheep, but more often the novella is written to be understood—it is well anchored in reality. This is a novella about dreams that refrains from being dreamlike. The occasional use of an omniscient narrator further anchors the text, which provides the reader with the comfort that, no matter how far the text may roam, there is always a light shining the way home.

Ballynure man Lewis Stevenson is set to join Exeter Chiefs with immediate effect having been released from his contract with Ulster Rugby by mutual agreement.

Hospital officials said Monday morning that a man involved in a single-vehicle wreck Thursday is in good condition Friday morning.
Hospital officials said Friday morning that a man involved in a single-vehicle wreck Thursday is in good condition today.
Michael Theodorakis, 40, was airlifted to New Hanover Regional Medical Center yesterday after the Buick sedan his father George Theodorakis, 70, was driving northbound on U.S. 17 near Murrill Hill Road started to skid, lost lateral stability, entered the median and hit a tree.
George Theodoraki and his wife Betty Theodorakis, 71, of Lake Waccamaw in Columbus County died in the wreck.
Sgt. R.E. Dudley with the North Carolina Highway Patrol said that excessive speed was not a factor, alcohol was not believed to be a factor and that they would need to wait on medical examiner�s results before determining if a medical condition was involved.
All three passengers were wearing their seat belts.
George and Betty Theodorakis, who were the front-seat passengers, were pronounced dead at the scene. Michael Theodorakis was the back-seat passenger.
Authorities believe the vehicle was traveling between 60 and 65 mph in the 55 mph zone at the time of the wreck.

Wassup people,
Is there anybody out there who would be kind enough help me analyse my latest flight log that ended in a crash?
In the past i (since a year) have had good sucsess with my APM2 mounted in a standard rcexplorer tricopter. Any hickups in the past have been sorted with a suitably timed software update.
The latest code 2.7.3 has been brilliant for me especially with my newly flashed esc's. I have been experimenting with auto mode and waypoint missions with good success. Im using the standard gps.
This flight, I was watching the auto mission unfold via fpv. The waypoints were successfully (for me)achieved (apart from the last one, which i believe is a known issue) and the tri was in a hover after the last waypoint. As far as i can remember i switched to stabilize and took control for a few seconds then decided to switch back into auto and run the route again. (like i have done in the past, although not quite as quickly). I watched as the tri violently banked to the right and started loosing altitude, not going in the direction of the first waypoint. I let it go as long as i dared (too long as it turned out) until i switched back to stabilize to take control. There seemed to be a delay in me being able to take control, by which time i fumbled an unscheduled crash landing.
My current technique of log analysing consists of staring at different graphs that i assume somewhere will explain a fault, but where is the question!
Ive added all the log files that ive got of the flight (probably twich as ive just seen the attatch files tab below also). Ive also got gopro footage if someone thinks it may be helpfull.

I have asked the dev team to have a look at your logs but I also highly recommend Dan Gray's log visualizer
Hi Alex,
I had a look at your log using APMLogVisualizer version 1.34L, and found that in all probability, a motor failed OR your battery was low enough for one of the ESC's to shut down, OR less likely, one more possibility, your gyro failed in some way.
I suggest that you start logging your motors, you can do this with the CLI using Mission Planner. It would be easier to see what's going on.
I found that during your last auto run restart, your Yaw was pointing to the first waypoint like it should. I see that your pitch is pitched down, toward the waypoint like it should be. The problem is the roll is way off, I mean way off.
You don't happen to have an FPV video do you? in that case, I can compare the video to see if the roll is doing what the sensors say, and if so, we narrow it down to motors/ESC/battery.
Your servo output (RC3ServoOut) was maxed out at 800. When you went to stabilize, you had the throttle all the way up, and the copter was still was falling. The RC3ServoOut was still maxed out when you went to stabilize. It stayed maxed out until you brought the throttle down (I assume at crash time). This means that the APM2 was TRYING to keep the copter in the air, it just couldn't.
So to summarize, most likely, motor 1 or motor 4 failed in some way, probably motor 1.
Less likely, your gyro or gyro software failed in some way.
Dan Gray
Dan, I tried using APMLV from your site by the link in Craig's reference above... http://siderealtechnology.com/APMLogVisualizer1.3.zip
Is that the 1.34L version?
Nice analysis again Dan!
Thanks Dan!
Hi Dan, I found the problem. one of the connections to my motor (soldered) had snapped inside the heat shrink, hence the reason i heard it pulsing, it was missing a phase. What is interesting to me is that it is was the motor on the opposite side to which it fell. The APM must have all but stopped the right hand (tricopter) motor when the left one packed up, to try and keep it level. You may have already sussed that one because you did mention that you thought it could be motor 1 or 4! Thought that was pretty cool though.
