Thank you.
It's still hooked to the stuff showed in the above pic.
Perhaps I really should restart?
[Edited by ArchDuke, 4/21/2010 12:26:24 PM]
And to be honest, I dont think you uninstalled correctly.
What I mean is, you probably uninstalled, and didnt bother to restart the PC and used 2 crappy registry cleaners after that. So when you did finally restart registry entries and files are missing to finish the uninstall procedure.
But click the link on the autoplay window the rest should be straight forward enough.

Abstract : An analysis of the radar cross section data acquired from the NORDSEE tower during the MARSEN Experiment by the Naval Research Laboratory was made. A dependence on both wind speed and sea state was expected, based on observations and results obtained during the Gulf of Mexico Experiment. The range of variation of wind speed and wave slope during MARSEN were substantial. However, within a narrow range of wind speeds the range of variation of wave slopes was insufficient to demonstrate a radar cross section dependence on it. The results contained herein display appreciable randomness at each slope value; this tends to mask a likely dependence of radar cross section on slope. These results do not conflict with those obtained in the Gulf of Mexico, some of which are included for comparison, they are just too limited in range to add independent support.

Washington, June 22: The ball, according to Pakistanis here, is squarely in Pervez Musharrafs court. On Tuesday, when he meets George W. Bush at Camp David, he can kick the ball and score a goal if he so chooses.
The goal, sources here say, is Osama bin Ladens head, dead or alive, as the US President said after September 11.
The prize for Musharraf for scoring the goal, they say, is delivery of 28 gleaming new F-16 planes, which Pakistans President has made a touchstone of sorts for Washingtons friendship with Islamabad.
Stories have been swirling here in the last one week about a deal on F-16s. But South Asia Tribune, a well-informed Pakistani web newspaper, here today went on record to say that the quid pro quo for the planes would be bin Ladens head.
The hard bargaining began long before Musharraf left Islamabad last week on his four-nation tour, including the US and Britain.
First, the Pakistanis, who were miffed by a special gesture from Bush in meeting Indian national security adviser Brajesh Mishra in the Oval Office, dropped broad hints that Musharraf should stay overnight at the presidential retreat at Camp David.
The generals factotums who negotiated the visit would have preferred a meeting between Pakistans dictator and the US President at the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas, the highest reward in protocol terms for guests the kind of special treatment reserved for leaders like Vladimir Putin, Tony Blair and Chinas Jiang Zemin. But Bush wasnt going to be at Crawford and it is common knowledge here that Musharraf isnt quite there not on that rung of the leadership ladder as Putin or Blair.
So the overnight stay at Camp David was proposed, but several Bush aides were opposed to the idea. At White House meetings, sources said, the aides articulated their worry that a Camp David event would send the wrong signals to India.
The intelligence agencies ultimately prevailed, arguing that Washington still needed Musharraf and that there was little hope of finding bin Laden without placating the Pakistani dictator.
The Washington Post reported a few days ago that ultimately it was Bush who settled the debate and decided that Musharraf will, indeed, fly to Camp David on Tuesday. But there will be no overnight stay at the retreat, which would have been next in protocol terms to a trip to the ranch.
Instead, Musharraf will take a helicopter ride from here to Camp David, lunch with the President and return to Washington in a few hours.
Even in Washington, Musharraf is not being accommodated at Blair House, the presidential guest house, where Atal Bihari Vajpayee stayed. So did Musharraf earlier but, this time, he is staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown, an upper end of this town.

Sometimes I go to Pinterest to check out some of the things that I've pinned in recent months. I ran across this recipe and thought it would be great to try out on our students at the preaching school. It's never a problem getting taste testers in that group! I believe it turned out to be a success! I came home with one lone cupcake from the batch.
I had some crockpot applebutter that I made last fall that was used in the filling. Store bought would be totally fine. I followed the original recipe exactly for the cupcake, but made a slight change to the buttercream frosting from the original. It seemed a little too sweet to me, so I added a sprinkle of salt and 2-3 ounces of softened cream cheese. That little extra tang offset some of the sweetness and made a terrific frosting!
So are your Pinterest boards overflowing with great ideas for organizing, decorating, crafting, and baking like mine are?
Ingredients for cupcakes:
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/3 cups whole milk
- Approximately 3/4 cup apple butter
For the frosting:
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 ounces cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Cinnamon
- Pecans, toasted
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
To make the batter., cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until combined.
Add the baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, and salt and mix for about a minute, on medium high, until creamy.
Add the milk and flour, alternating between the two ingredients (to avoid lumps) until the batter is smooth and everything is well combined.
Fill paper-lined cupcake tins so they're about 2/3 of the way full.
Make a small crater in the center of the batter and spoon a heaping teaspoon of apple butter into it.
Use the back of a spoon or your finger to gently spread a little bit of the batter over the apple butter (it's okay if it doesn't cover it all the way—the batter will back up and around the apple butter).
Bake for about 22-25 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and set.
Allow the cupcakes to cool, while you make the frosting.
For the frosting, whip up the butter until creamy.
Add the powdered sugar a cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions.
Frost the cupcakes, then sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon.
Top each cupcake with a toasted pecan or two.

|3,336 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
From the rooftop of this luxurious hilltop home on a narrow cobblestoned street in San Miguel, you can almost reach the glittering spires of the Parroquia on starlit nights. The house renovations highlight the amazing artisan work by local artists who are masters in carved furniture, metal repoussé works of art, sculpted stone, sponged paintwork, tile work, vaulted ceilings (bóvedas) and wrought iron. The architect created light filled spaces, fully taking advantage of the golden light of this town...even the bathrooms all have skylights.
You enter from the street through heavy mesquite doors into the older colonial part of the house dating to the 17th or 18th century. As you come into this original colonial foyer with 15 ft high ceilings, you'll find the ground floor bedroom and its hand painted tile bathroom. The bedroom has a gas fireplace with a stone mantel carved out of the local cantera stone. Going past this columned entrance into the renovated part of the house you will walk through the courtyard and to the 'portal' containing a wet bar with red cantera sink for dining al fresco. The courtyard has a grill and an authentic pizza/bread oven. The scent of jasmin tangled around the columns and the Juliette balconies perched above this courtyard will dazzle you.
My husband and I are both serious cooks and our 'hacienda style' kitchen is designed to cook and entertain, with a tiled kitchen island and custom designed gas burners fitted with a 'comal' (griddle for tortillas). It is a delight to cook in this kitchen, with enough space for friends and family to be part of the fun around this kitchen island.
There is filtered water throughout, including the wet bar.
Only the faucets for watering our plants have unfiltered water from the city.
The heavy mesquite dining table can accomodate up to 8 persons. This dining area is a combination dining/living room. Our cook is on call to prepare breakfast for you three times a week and for a nominal fee you can arrange for her to prepare a gourmet Mexican dinner for you.
The living room space has a carved cantera stone fireplace and a seating area. A flat screen television is hidden behind a handcarved entertainment center/bookcase in this area.
The master bedroom, on the second floor has a balcony towards the street as well as a courtyard balcony. It has an imposing fireplace for cold winter nights (in fact, every bedroom has a gas fireplace) and a spacious lightfilled, tiled bathroom with a bidet.
This floor has the 'mayan blue' bedroom with its boveda ceiling and Juliette balcony. The ensuite bathroom is a vision in travertine with prehispanic looking cantera columns lining the entrance to the giant tub/shower area. This entire area is bathed in sunlight from multiple skylights.
The third bedroom with en suite bathroom is also on this second floor.
The stairway from here takes you up to the rooftop through a horizontal sliding glass door, a design by the architect to bring light into the house and allow a passage to the roof at the same time. The rooftop is the non plus ultra of this house, the perfect place to have breakfast, sunbathe, or to contemplate a beautiful sunset with a glass of wine, surrounded by pots of lavender.
Our housekeeper, cook, and gardener/manager are there to help make this a perfect vacation.
Please be sure to check out additional photos in our blog link on this website.
I recently retired after teaching at a boys' school in Washington DC. I love the idea of travel and the world it opens up. I have brought my students to San Miguel in the summer for several years hoping to instill in them a respect, curiosity, and understanding of our neighbors to the South. I hope our guests experience an enriching and unforgettable cultural adventure in San Miguel de Allende as well.
Gilda purchased this house in 2012
Coming here with 'my boys' made me think about what a special place San Miguel was: its unique history, the people who have lived here for generations and the international flavor that expats from all over the world give it.
When my husband and I stood for the first time on the rooftop of this home one evening as the sun set, we knew this was the perfect place. We had rented in different areas of town and knew we wanted to be in the historic center, but not necessarily in the midst of the noise and commotion of the frequent San Miguel celebrations. We wanted a leisurely walk into town, but not too far of a walk either. We felt like Goldilocks when we found this house...not too far...not too close...just perfect!
We came here for my spouse's 70th and it was without doubt one of the happiest weeks in our long lives. We were greeted warmly by sweet Miguel and lovely Maricruz, and the moment we entered the foyer we knew we had struck gold, as we approached an attractive courtyard and a large homey kitchen/dining room. Upstairs, three beautiful bedrooms beckoned.
But the jewel in the crown is the vast roof, with its lush container garden and magnificent skyline views and intoxicating spring scents and the exquisite sound of bells.
Actually, there two jewels in this crown, the other being Maricruz and her sublime cooking. Not to be missed are her sopa de lima, pescado a la Veracruzana, tamales both savory and sweet, mango & jicama salad, pay de guayaba.
And yes, we can't wait to return.
We came back to Gilda's house after three years to find it equally spectacular. The owners keep the property up beautifully and maintain the same wonderful staff.
We had a fabulous 60th birthday meal prepared by Maricruz. Miguel was totally attentive to our needs.
This time we brought another couple who were also taken by this amazing house.
My wife and I found the place for a wedding that was taking place down the street. There were 5 of us staying at the house and it was a blast. The town was great, the house was gorgeous and had no problems getting in and out.
This was our second year renting this beautiful home,and we would have rented again except that the owners are staying the months that we would have liked... And who can blame them! Everything from the location,to the gorgeous views from the rooftop, the cook and gardener couple, Maricruz and Miguel, the beautifully appointed interior, is a great experience.
Maybe next time they will give us back our slot...
We rented for a month and could not have been more pleased. This is a wonderful house with interesting architectural detail, well furnished and very comfortable. The roof terrace was a special treat with amazing views of the Parroquia and much of San Miguel ... the perfect spot for reading, playing games and cocktails. We have rented in SMA several times over the last ten years and this is one of our favorite properties. Location is perfect for quick walks to the center of town with all its great shopping and restaurants. The staff is particularly outstanding. Miguel (speaks good English) and Maricruz are wonderful and most accommodating. Maricruz is an excellent cook and kept the house filled with flower - her arrangements were amazing. All in all the perfect place for our stay in San Miguel.
This is a lovely home. Open the door from the steep cobbled street and enter a green, private openair courtyard with burbling fountain. There are flowers and pots of jasmine that perfume the air. Step through arched doorways into a comfortable living room and kitchen area equipped with everything a cook could want, and then relax in the evening with a glass of your favorite in the patio dining area.
Upstairs there is an airy master bedroom with balconies on 2 sides. The beautifully tiled bath is ensuite. Another bath and study is just across the hall, then flanking the open courtyard the hall leads you to yet another gorgeous bedroom with ensuite bath.
If you want the most enchanting view of all, go up to the rooftop terrace and zen out with the sunset or sunrise as day begins or ends over the historic village.
This is a very well-located home. Just up the hill a bit from the hustle and bustle, but high enough to catch a fresh breeze. It's enough of a limb from town to justify dessert, but not enough to deter you from going out.
Miguel and Maricruz will spoil you for ever returning to regular life. My boyfriend kept saying Maricruz should open her own restaurant, she was so proficient in the kitchen and her food was so delicioso.
Majestic town of San Miguel de Allende, World Heritage Site, cradle of Mexico's battle for independence from Spain in the historical heartland of Mexico.

June 2nd, 2017
Monmouth Park Racetrack
Robert J Kulina, Bill Anderson, Bill Knauf
175 Oceanport Ave, Oceanport, NJ 07757
Dear Mr. Kulina, Anderson and Knauf,
I have made three attempts to contact you via phone, leaving voicemails and my phone number with Mr. Heims, Mr. Brad Thomas, Ms. Laura and Mr. Kulina, during the week of May 30th through June 2nd. Not one call has been returned. Please review the demand letter, synopsis and summary below.
On May 27th, 2017, I came to Monmouth Park Racetrack. Seconds before Race 3, while using pari-mutuel computer number 139 with a voucher totaling $350.70, 1 man walked to the left pari-mutuel computer 138, while another man reached to my pari-mutuel computer 139, hit final on my computer, grabbed the voucher and ran. I followed the man outside and approached him and he laughed in my face about stealing the voucher or giving it back. I went back to the pari-mutuel phone while keeping eyes on him, and called for pari-mutuel customer service. A pari-mutuel customer service agent came in about 5 minutes. I relayed to him what happened, showed him where the man was moving too, and asked him to immediately cancel the voucher. I had trifecta vouchers in my hand (3 at $18 each) printed seconds before the theft, therefore I had the voucher number and the exact time the voucher was taken. His response was there is absolutely nothing they could do, despite all the information I provided. He called his supervisor and told me to wait while he followed the man. His supervisor Joe came with another pari-mutuel customer service representative and both said there is nothing they could do and I would need to go to the information desk to request security while they kept eyes on the thief.
I went to the information desk and spoke to pari-mutuel supervisor Laura, who I am very close with over the last 21 years of attending Monmouth Park Racetrack. Laura called for security, and made several calls in search for the stolen voucher. Security Manager Jerry Russomanno arrived after about 10 minutes and had me guide him to the pari-mutuel computer, and to where the pari-mutuel customer service representatives were watching the thief, after I explained to him what happened. When we arrived outside, the pari-mutuel representatives were gone, as was the thief. The man that approached my left shoulder using computer #138 at the same time, was sitting in a chair with his son and his son's fiancé. I asked security manager Jerry Russomanno to simply review the camera tapes, and speak with the 6 witnesses that watched this happen, that were still currently standing at the pari-mutuel computers. Security manager Jerry Russomanno said that there are no cameras on any of the pari-mutuel computers in the entire park, so there is no camera to review and it would be my word vs. the thief's, and even if we find the thief, he must have the ticket on him for anything to be done, despite all the documentation of proof I had on the theft.
We walked back to pari-mutuel supervisor Laura, she stated after several calls, she tracked down the voucher and the thief cashed it in the mezzanine. I asked both security manager Jerry Russomanno and pari-mutuel Supervisor Laura if they could review the cameras where the ticket was cashed, as this is a teller computer, not a pari-mutuel computer and security manager Jerry Russomanno stated that he shouldn't be telling me this, but there are also no cameras at the pari-mutuel tellers in the mezzanine so we have no way of catching the thief or finding out who he is. I asked if we could get the police involved as this is a theft and security manager Jerry Russomanno called the Oceanport, NJ Police.
When the Oceanport, NJ Police arrived, they asked security manager Jerry Russomanno if there were cameras that they could review, he again stated to officer Gaita that there were no cameras to review. Officer Gaita #497 told me that If I wanted to move forward that I would have to track down the thief throughout the 20,000+ people on hand at Monmouth Park for the food truck festival. Officer Gaita #497 and security manager Jerry Russomanno, also approached the man in the chairs that walked to my left, and they both reported back that this man was with his son and son's fiancé and due to "who he was with" he could not possible be the cause of wrong doing. However, he refused to provide any information, vouchers or cash on hand.
In conclusion, despite being one of the biggest supporters of Monmouth Park Racetrack over the last 21 years, I was robbed of $350.70, lost 3 hours of my time with my ill father and all involved were unable to help in any type of way outside of pari-mutuel supervisor Laura, who did in fact, do everything she could to try and track down the voucher and thief. Despite voucher proof, exact time proof via pari-mutuel phone with pari-mutuel security while the thief cashed the ticket, 6 witnesses, 3 pari-mutuel customer service reps following the thief and additional trifecta voucher proof of theft, I was told oh well, it happens.
There were no cameras to prove anything was done, which is a complete negligence in security that is considered a family friendly park that also involve wagers of an excessive amount of money throughout each day. No customer knows that there are no camera's while thousands, to hundreds of thousands of dollars are being handled. I am sure many Monmouth Park Racetrack customers would be in fear of handling any money, at any pari-mutuel computers going forward. This thief also now has the confidence to go to anyone's computer, hit final, steal the voucher at any point and time and run, and there is still no security in place to catch him.
I demand that a check be sent for $750 by July 2nd, 2017 for my stolen voucher, the 2-3 hours that were supposed to be an ill father/son day wasted while dealing with this situation and the additional time spent after work having to write a demand letter, speak with legal services and make several calls during my lunch to try and rectify this matter via phone. If I don't receive payment by that date, I'll promptly file this case in small claims court, have a public record available of the report, police case number and follow all legal avenues to collect it. I also think I could be a valuable piece on correcting the current security problems, I would be more than willing to help in this area as a longtime customer of Monmouth Park Racetrack. You may reach me anytime at 732-691-1949.

Anyone got anything they can share on the AtomLab AirCorp saddle or Demolition F1 or Odeyssey Aitken? Comfort, size, durability, any fit problems with stems?
We sell the crap out of the Demolition saddle. Light, cheap, and pinchable but a little long for some people/bikes. It can definitely cramp up a top tube.
I prefer the Veteran to the Aitken...more comfy.
I have never ridden the Air Corp but the Trail King I had was grippy, compact, and small but it was heavy compared to others.

Ah, Spring, when eggs flow abundantly and barbecue season is beginning. Deviled eggs are such a wonderful, easy side dish for barbecue get togethers and picnics. I've tried so many different recipes over the years, but I do believe I finally came up with my favorite – Carolina Barbecue Deviled Eggs. Peeling boiled fresh eggs … Continue reading
Delicious Homemade Potato and Leek Soup
I love Julia Childs. She's my cooking hero. She's way too much fun to watch on TV. But when it comes to her potato and leek soup recipe, "simmer the vegetables for 40 to 50 minutes until vegetables are tender", ain't nobody got time for that. I like quick, home-after-a-long-day of work recipe instead. I … Continue reading
Homemade Apricot BBQ Sauce
The deli at our local grocery store used to give away an apricot BBQ sauce with the chicken tenders. I bought the chicken just so I could get the sauce. I loved it. For whatever reason, they quit carrying it and switched to a boring honey BBQ sauce. No thanks! So I decided it was … Continue reading
No Sugar Canned Pears
Fresh fruit in Alaska can get expensive, organic fruit even more so. So when Costco has cases of organic pears for less than $2.50 per pound, you buy a case and get to work on no sugar canned pears. The hubby isn't a big fruit person, so most of the fruit in our house … Continue reading
Cooking from Scratch is Scary
Cooking from scratch is scary, or at least I used to think so. I've often told the hubby that I married him because he can cook (he used to cook in restaurants.) I can bake. I've been baking since my early teens and my mom decided at that point I was the house baker (except … Continue reading
Blueberry Rhubarb Lemonade Popsicles
It's been hot. Well, it's been hot by this Alaska girl's standards. Mid-70's in the shade, and I've spent the week in the non-shaded garden trying to get all my starts in the ground asap. Finally almost done! But I've been needing something to cool off. Ice cream is easily the first thing that comes … Continue reading
Foraging Spruce Tips
I've been determined to do more foraging this year. Believe it or not, Alaska wilderness has a lot of food to offer, not just ice cubes and snow cones. One of those treats is spruce tips. There's a fairly short window for foraging spruce tips. I managed to pick a few right at the end … Continue reading
Egg Recipes When You've Got Too Many Eggs
Ah spring, when seedlings are started, it snows in Alaska, and the chickens are laying eggs like crazy. I've got 5 dozen eggs in fridge ready to sell and two more dozen on the kitchen counter, and I still need to collect eggs today. I think it's time to break out the eggs recipes when … Continue reading
Smoked Salmon Chowder
One of the very first meals I made for the hubby when we were dating was smoked salmon chowder. He was a little wary at first, but now it's one of his favorite meals. I made it for dinner the other night and thought I'd share the recipe with you! Every year, the hubby … Continue reading
Homemade Moose Summer Sausage
The hubby has discovered charcuterie, "the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products, such as bacon, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, ballotines, pâtés, and confit, primarily from pork." I, personally, am loving it. After faithfully following recipes for a while, he finally decided it was time to branch out with his own recipe. Thanks to … Continue reading

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy – or all the time, am I right?! As a young professional and millennial (like it or not), we're often under the microscope, having our every move scrutinized and criticized. So much so that if not properly managed, it can even get in the way of our own successes. Even if you're a seasoned pro, or just starting out, here's a quick list – a "spring cleaning" of old habits, if you will – of what not to do in order to get ahead:
1.) Play it safe
Being successful doesn't happen overnight, nor does it rarely happen while playing it safe and staying inside the box. Many successful young professionals have contributed to their team's success with bold and innovative ideas. Being the most junior person on a team doesn't mean to silence your creative ideas, it just might give you – and your company or client – an advantage. Even if your big ideas don't pan out, it will put you on the radar for future opportunities.
2.) Not making mistakes
Why is it you always hear the most successful people rave about making mistakes? Because time and time again they admit what they have learned from making mistakes. As young professionals we hear the advice, yet we're still afraid of making them. We should be making plenty of mistakes – as long as we're learning from them of course. By making different mistakes, we as young professionals, can understand what works and what works better, and we can learn – a lot.
3.) Ignoring work/life balance
As young professionals, we try to live up the expectation of being a workaholic, and so much so that we might even glamorize it. We give ourselves projects, deadlines and volunteer commitments, that it is easy to get caught up in work and forget the most important thing – ourselves. But the more young professionals enjoy life outside of work, the better they are at producing quality work.
4.) Not speaking up
It is often so hard finding our voice, and even harder when you're most likely the newest face in the room. Part of having professional success is knowing when to listen, and when to speak up. More often than not, young professionals don't speak up when they have a great opportunity. If there is an event or project you're interested in, let your CEO or supervisor know you're interested. If you have a skill that needs improving, take a leap and volunteer for a project that will allow you to do it. Speaking up when you have a fresh idea, a different approach or valuable insight can yield the greatest reward.
5.) Let learning become stagnant
As young professionals with plenty of access to the internet and other resources, we should be constantly searching for articles, case studies, etc. that can help us be in the know and on top of industry trends. Being well-informed will make you a valued resource within your team, and others will be willing to turn to you to bring outside knowledge to an important project or deadline.
There you have it, now let the success ensue! Have something to add? Drop the chamber a line, or join us for an Ignite meeting!

The camcorder can record still images to a Memory Stick Pro Duo card at a maximum resolution of 1152 by 864 which is about 1 mega pixel. The DCR-HC42 fits well in the hand and it is light enough to be carried around all day. The camcorder is 2 inches thick and 4.5 inches long, a size that should just squeeze into a large pocket. While the controls sit comfortably under the fingers.
The DCR-HC42 is the midrange camcorder in Sony's DCR-HC series. Like the rest of the DCR-HC line this model is fairly easy to use, with great automatic controls and the Easy Handy-cam mode. Easy Handy-cam leaves all image quality control decisions to the camcorder. The DCR-HC42 separates itself from its smaller sibling with a larger image as well as bigger 2.7" 16:9 LCD screen. It is the most affordable camcorder on the market to offer such a feature. As with the Sony DCR-DVD403, the zoom and record controls are duplicated around the 2.7-inch wide-aspect LCD, which looked great in all but direct sunlight. Most camcorders, when shooting in 16:9 mode, display the video with black bars at the top and bottom, resulting in a smaller image; but, its wide-aspect LCD lets the HC42 use the whole screen, which means you can see the image much better.
For recharging and linking to the PC, the camcorder docks in the included Handy-cam Station, which is also where the USB 2.0 and Fire-Wire ports are. To recharge the camera you need not connect it to the dock, instead you can charge the device directly from a power source. The device accepts Sony Memory Stick Duo media for the storage needs. The camcorder has also added two Burst modes and Exposure Bracketing. Burst takes several consecutive photographs with a single push of the photo button, while exposure bracketing takes three photographs at different exposures.
The DCR-HC42 tries to provide convenience and good ease of use to its users. The camcorder is fairly portable; it can be carried with relative comfort, slipping easily into a sizable purse. The camcorder provides great automatic controls, and adjustments are made fairly swiftly. The camcorder succeeds at being a great auto pilot with its Easy Handy-cam mode. This camcorder provides convenience for those who want the joy of recording without the decision making process. Sony"s DCR-HC42 is a good camcorder is suitable for point-and-shooters and beginners. It provides decent images in bright light conditions.

Georgia Tech Hackathon
Georgia Tech Hackathon scheduled for September 19th, 20th, and 21st (2014) in Atlanta, Georgia. This will be an amazing collection of hackers from around the country and they will descend upon the Georgia Tech campus and take over the Klaus Advanced Computing Building to create, build, hack, rebuild, rehack, get motivated, and most importantly have a ton of fun. Oh and win big ass prizes! BOOM.
I am very excited about this event and happy to throw my full support behind it. As I have shared in earlier posts regarding my involvement in TechSquare Labs, focusing on technical founders and helping them create something from nothing – is the goal. Over the last five months through TechSquare Labs I have had the opportunity to build relationships with many technical founders, and specifically spend time with many of the Georgia Tech students building amazing technologies.
This is a student lead event, but will need the full support of the Georgia Tech and Atlanta technology communities. There are several ways that you can get involved and support this event. Here are some high level details:
Location: Georgia Tech Campus, specifically Klaus Advanced Computing Building
When: September 19th, 20th, and 21st 2014
Size: Big, we are expecting nearly 1,000 student hackers from around the country
Website: www.hackgt.com
Twitter: TheHackGT
This will be an amazing opportunity to show off the Georgia Tech talent, campus, and the momentum in the broader Atlanta technology eco-system. A couple of interesting facts before I make the big "sales pitch", the event is being organized by students, lead by students, and they are really talented (and cool). These are the same students that hacked the Yo App, and many of them have traveled as TechSquare Labs (Sponsored) Hackers to other hackathons and cleaned up on the awards stage.
Of course we owe Chris Klaus a special thank you, this event will make him proud, and be a wonderful reflection of his desire to help support technical founders and student entrepreneurship. The university (Georgia Tech) is being incredibly supportive from staff leaders to professors – thank you. We already have a group of fantastic sponsors – thank you, thank you – (BUT), here we go, you ready? We need your support! Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and sponsor this event, we need your help. Guess what, if you don't email in, I will be emailing you, count on it…

Congratulations to Dr. Harim Kwon and Dr. Tridha Chatterjee
Two of our graduate students have successfully defended their dissertations during the first half of May, and can now deservedly call themselves "doctor"! We congratulate both Harim Kwon and Tridha Chatterjee on this achievement, and wish them well as they start out on the next phase of their academic careers. The title and abstracts of their dissertations are given below.
Harim Kwon: "Cue Primacy and Spontaneous Imitation: Is Imitation Phonetic or Phonological?"
(Advisors: Pam Beddor and Andries Coetzee)
Previous research on spontaneous imitation examines how speaker-listeners' own production changes after hearing a few minutes of model speech, and suggests that speech perception and production are closely related. This dissertation asks how cue primacy influences imitation by separately manipulating two co-varying cues differing in their primacy for one phonological category. By examining how similarly or differently primary and non-primary cues operate in spontaneous imitation, this dissertation investigates the nature of the cognitive representations that are responsible for imitation.
In order to examine whether the cognitive representations that are involved in speech imitation are abstract phonological categories or individual phonetic properties, this study tests spontaneous imitation of aspirated stops by Seoul Korean speakers. In Seoul Korean, at least two distinct acoustic properties, stop voice onset time (VOT) and post-stop fundamental frequency (f0), differentiate aspirated stops from stops of different phonation types, with post-stop f0 being the primary cue for aspirated stops. Seoul Korean participants heard and shadowed (i.e., immediately repeated what they heard without being told to imitate) target model speech, including aspirated /th/ with either extended VOT or raised post-stop f0. The realization of these properties in their own /th/, /t/, and /t*/ productions were compared before, during, and after exposure.
The results show that enhancements of both primary and non-primary cues trigger imitative changes, and that exposure to an enhanced non-primary cue (long VOT) influences the production not only of that cue but also of the primary cue for aspirated stops (post-stop f0). However, an enhanced primary cue (high f0) does not have similar effects on the non-primary cue. Moreover, the imitative changes are generalized to maximize the relevant phonological contrast, as evidenced by lowering of f0 after lax /t/ and sonorants. These findings suggest that imitation is not strictly tied to individual phonetic properties but it is rather phonological in that abstract categories are involved in the process of imitation. This dissertation provides a new insight on the role of phonology in spontaneous imitation.
Tridha Chatterjee: "Bilingualism, language contact and change: The case of Bengali and English in India"
(Advisors: Marlyse Baptista and Acrisio Pires)
This dissertation examines the nature of bidirectional influences in Bengali and English in the understudied bi/multilingual setting of West Bengal, India. Close contact between the languages has resulted in extensive bilingualism including code-switching between the languages in a section of the population. In order to get a better understanding of language change and development in this community, the following research questions are investigated i) What types of contact effects are observable in Bengali today? ii) What are the grammatical features in bilingual Bengali-English speech that have changed under contact and what are those resulting from language-internal developments? iii) How can we ascertain that new properties found in bilingual Bengali-English are contact-induced? iv) What are the grammatical differences between monolingual and bilingual Bengali? v) What is the direction of change in contact? These questions are addressed from both diachronic and synchronic standpoints and following the methodology of Thomason (2001), two current monolingual and bilingual Bengali corpora (collected and compiled through fieldwork) are compared with nineteenth-century Bengali plays for a set of linguistic features. Further, a corpus of English speech data from Bengali-English bilinguals is investigated to evaluate what types of changes occurred in English. This investigation has also been complemented with a quantitative analysis of the distribution of linguistic features in the corpora following the variationist methodology discussed in Poplack & Levey (2010). The findings are as follows: English influence has led to heavy lexical borrowing in Bengali, as well as code-switching and morphosyntactic changes in the domain of bilingual Bengali-English verbs comprising English 'nouns' or 'verbs' alongside 'do' verbs from Bengali. Change has also occurred in Bengali equational sentences where the new meaning and position of the 'be' verb hocche, unattested in nineteenth-century Bengali, seems to emerge from multiple causation. The English data reveals slight divergences in the use determiners and progressive tenses, which have resulted only partially from interference from Bengali, but mostly conditioned by speakers' different proficiency levels in English. These findings provide evidence for overall stability in the grammar of both languages (specifically for this subject pool) despite the presence of extensive bilingualism in the community.

Milngavie's Imogen Bankier helped Scotland make it two wins in a row at the Sudirman Cup in Kuala Lumpur this week.
Bankier and fellow mixed doubles world silver medalist Robert Blair continued in their winning ways in the World Mixed Team Championships, beating the USA 4-1 to replicate their winning score-line over Russia on Sunday and take a commanding lead in Group 2A.
On Sunday the pair won their opening mixed doubles matches 21-13 21-6 against Ho Halim Haryanto and Jamie Subandhi.
Meanwhile Scotland team mate Kieran Merrilees kept up his good form by toppling Howard Shu 21-16 21-11 in the men's singles.
It then fell to Kirsty Gilmour to again secure a winning lead when she defeated Iris Wang 21-9 21-15.

See the lady on the left, that's my mother. We used to fight a lot. We still fight every now and then but it's easier to see things from her point of view these days1. I worry about her and I'm sure she worries about me2. Sometimes I wonder about whether she would have preferred raising us with her own family around but she does well3 to keep in touch with her siblings and my Grandfather. I know she would still be keeping in touch with my Grandmother too if she was still with us today. I could learn a thing or two about keeping in touch with people who are millions of miles away from her.
I have learned a lot of things from my mother; not necessarily through any intention of hers but I learned them all the same. I'm attentive like she's attentive. I'm incapable of being unproductive like she is incapable of the same. I snack a lot… but that's something both of my parents do. I am good at baking… but again that's something both my parents are good at. I can talk a lot like she talks a lot4.
Anyone of my friends who has met my Mum always goes on about how cute she is. And if you look at her, you'd see why: at 5'1″5 she's petite but it's more than her height that makes her adorable. She is ever-caring and a gentle soul; she wouldn't hurt a fly6; and she's always smiling, yet another thing I learned from her.
We're going to dinner at a Chinese restaurant in
Markham China Town to celebrate her birthday tonight even though it's a school night because that's just how we like to roll. I'm glad my Mum is my Mum. She's beautiful, talented, intelligent and patient7. I can only hope I make her just as proud of me as I am of her.
- and potentially vice versa[↩]
- Nothing major, typical stuff I am sure[↩]
- better than anyone else I know[↩]
- she is usually the one talking when the four of us get together[↩]
- sorry if you are taller than this Mum, but this is how short you feel to me[↩]
- but do not be fooled, if you ever get her upset you better be prepared[↩]
- and so much more, but that is all I'll list out for now[↩]

It's not every day that I can say that I'm way ahead of the curve in comparison to Arizona Republic columnist Ed Montini. He has posted a column discussing the possibility of Janet Napolitano getting tapped for the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy left by Justice Souter.
I wrote about this issue back in early February. Here's what I said at the time:
I was one of the people that was shocked that Governor Napolitano took Department of Homeland Security. I was shocked because I have always viewed her as a pretty political animal. Anyone who has ambition for higher elective office is taking a huge risk in heading up DHS. Politically, it's almost a no-win situation. Do your job perfectly, no fumbles on major disasters, no terrorist attacks, nobody notices.
But one slip-up can be career-ending.
That is, unless you have your sights on the Supreme Court. Then it begins to make a lot more sense. Take on the responsibility of the largest agency in the Federal government, do a competent job, and tee yourself up for a nomination to a justice for SCOTUS.
Bottom line: don't be surprised if Napolitano gets tapped for the bench.
Now that Secretary Napolitano has had a couple months under her belt, it's more clear than ever that the only place she can land is the Supreme Court. The number of clumsy missteps she has made over the last few weeks have been near-fatal for seeking a future elective office.
1 Comment
The Souter appointment was definitely a foul up on the Republican side, however, the dems are more calculating than we usually dream of being and will not make similar mistakes. If they go for an easy court appointment on the first go 'round it will be because THEY'VE done their homework. I hope we will have done ours.
Sean, this is my first time on "Noble Thinking". You must have quite a tribe!

Certona participates in Computer Science Education Week – Spreads Passion to San Diego Youth
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." – Nelson Mandela.
At Certona we couldn't agree more which is why our technology team participated in the Computer Science Education Week at Double Peak K-8 School in San Diego, CA.
Certona software developer, Lee Blackwell, spent a day with 6th grade math students of Double Peak K-8 to share her passion for computer science. Lee noted how, "as I talked about what Certona does, it was exciting to see these bright students easily understand how we provide recommendations and personalize the online shopping experience."
During Computer Science Education Week students participate in the nationwide "The Hour of Code," an opportunity for every student to try computer science for one hour. As a way to enhance the hour of code, schools bring in guest speakers to help solidify the message and show what the future holds if they stick down the path of Math and Science.
Lee led the kids in an unplugged programming activity where they took turns as robot and programmer with a goal of motioning the "YMCA." The fun and engaging activity drove home the concept that machines operate on a specific predefined set of instructions. "I can't tell you how great it is to hear one of the students eagerly tell me that she's working on a website with her dad and another student who was able to provide the textbook definition of a "loop." Warms the programmer's heart."
Our passion for big data, AI, and all things computer science is what creates the backbone of our technology. For over a decade, our passion for leveraging computer science to innovate and change traditional e-commerce interactions has resulted in important changes to the retail industry. We're lucky to have talented employees, like Lee, who are passionate not only about what they do but passionate about making a better tomorrow for today's future, our youth.

Western leaders have hailed a decision by Syria's opposition to attend Wednesday's international peace conference alongside representatives of a regime they despise and remain determined to overthrow.
After weeks of hesitation and threats to boycott the talks, the deeply divided National Coalition said it will go to Switzerland, with the sole aim of toppling President Bashar al-Assad.
The so-called Geneva II meeting aims to set up a transitional government to end a brutal war estimated to have killed more than 130,000 people and forced millions from their homes in nearly three years.
US Secretary of State John Kerry hailed the opposition's "courageous" decision to attend the talks, describing it as a "path that will ultimately lead to a better future for all Syrians".
"We all know that the process ahead will be difficult, but I say directly to the Syrian people: we will stand by you every mile of the journey as you seek to achieve the freedom and dignity that all Syrians deserve," he said in remarks echoed by Britain, France and Germany.
Russia, too, hailed the announcement.
"That is the right decision, we have always said that one has to go to the forum and enter into dialogue with the government," Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told the state ITAR-TASS news agency.
"The work of the conference will be based on this, the main thing is the launch of inter-Syrian talks," said Bogdanov.
The Coalition voted Saturday by 58 to 14 to attend the peace conference in the Swiss town of Montreux, with only 75 of the around 120 delegates taking part in the secret ballot -- a sign that strong disagreement persists.
Coalition leader Ahmad Jarba said the group was going to Switzerland to remove the "butcher" Assad from power.
"The Geneva II negotiation table is a one-way road aimed at achieving all the demands of the revolution... and first and foremost stripping the butcher (Assad) of all his powers," he said.
The head of the rebel Free Syrian Army, General Selim Idriss, called for a "peaceful resolution" to the conflict, and urged the opposition to uphold the "goals of the revolution" and remove Assad and his allies from power.

The FSA, the armed wing of the Coalition has been greatly marginalised by the emergence of Al-Qaeda-linked jihadists and Islamist rebel brigades.
Coalition member Munzer Aqbiq said the opposition would form within 24 hours a delegation made up of diplomats, politicians, FSA representatives and legal experts.
The Coalition has been under intense pressure from its Western and Arab backers to attend the talks.
UN chief hails opposition participation
UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Sunday hailed the opposition's decision as a boost to efforts to halt the Syrian war.
"I look forward to the opposition's expedited formation of a delegation that broadly represents the diversity of the Syrian opposition, including women," added the UN Secretary General, who is the convenor of the conference.
Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said Damascus was determined to ensure the talks were a success, and sent a letter to the United Nations saying the conference is about tackling extremists.
More than 35 countries will gather in the Swiss cities of Montreux and Geneva from Wednesday for the peace talks.
The lead-up to the talks has been marked by rebel in-fighting on the ground in Syria, which in two weeks has killed nearly 1,100 people.
One of the groups, the Al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), on Sunday appealed for a halt to the skirmishing.
"Today, the (Islamic) state is reaching out to you to stop fighting us, to focus on fighting the nusairiyah," the voice in the message, purportedly that of ISIL chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, said, using the term often used by jihadists to refer to the Syrian regime.
The remarks mark a shift for ISIL, which said earlier this month it would "crush" opposition fighters and considered members of the Syrian National Coalition and the military command of the Free Syrian Army to be "legitimate targets".
Meanwhile at least another 30 people died on Sunday in violence across the country, including 15 killed when regime planes dropped barrel bombs on rebel zones in the northern province of Aleppo, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

It's a little upsetting that girls are so quick to pass up a well made women's cleat simply because it's in the women's section of the store. I will say that a lot of women's cleats are worth passing up because it also seems there just isn't proper time spent constructing the boots, not to mention the weird colors they believe all girls want to wear. The Women's CTR360 Maestri FG is one of those rare women's shoe finds that I think every girl should stop and take a look at. I give Nike a lot of credit; it's a shoe tailored to a woman's foot and is a high quality shoe built to maximize ball control.
This boot strays away from the classic shoes such as the Tiempo, but this is not an over the top cleat that blinds you when you look at it. Nike has integrated their innovative features to double as design aspects of the shoe also. I actually like the teal accents throughout the shoe. It's a neutral color that doesn't scream "I'm a girl, so I have to have a pastel color on my shoe." In all honestly, if I were just walking past the shoe aisle I would have never pegged this as a women's soccer shoe. This is finally a cleat that allows you to be an individual on the field in a women's cleat without having to go with the typical color choices.
Physical Attributes
The Maestri is a cleat that was designed to specifically help a player's first touch and ball control. They have added a handful of innovative features to help improve the players game. First off, Nike has made a revolutionary Kanga-lite synthetic leather. This provides the player with extra comfort, a better fit to help increase performance, and is great in all conditions. Whether you're trying to keep your foot cool on hot turf or from weighing you down during a rainy game, these cleats will always help you perform at your best ability. On the front of the foot Nike has added dampening pads that are there to help you with the first touch of the ball. I really noticed that I had a little more touch compared to my normal touch. Most importantly, my touch was more consistent. On the inner arch of the foot, there is a receiving pad that helps receive the ball and also helps you give a better pass by giving you a better grip on the ball. Lastly the gradually off-centered lacing is engineered to create a bigger surface area on the foot to control and play the ball.
I really liked this cleat, and as I mentioned earlier, I think it's one of the first cleats that was given the attention and quality other women's cleats aren't. I was worried the ball control features were going to be a little bit of a gimmick, but I was wrong. The different surfaces on various parts of the shoe only helped not only my ball control a little but also made my touch more consistent as I was playing around in them. They were also super comfortable and not too heavy. I didn't have to search for my size. What I normally wear in shoes is what I fit in, so it was nice not having to try on a bunch of different sizes to find the right one. I would recommend this cleat to any girl soccer player who is looking for a quality shoe built for our foot.
A quality soccer shoe like this that is awesome will be in the upper price range of about $180.00. This may be high priced for a women's cleat, but the quality and wear you will get out of this cleat will not let you down. If you really want to take your game to the next level, you will love the extra ball control you'll get out of this cleat. Don't pass up this awesome cleat because of its label; you'll be missing out!

Have you ever dreamed of going out into nature and building a small but elegant home using natural materials, growing a garden, and having time to really live your life? Have you ever dreamed of living in some sort of community where your neighbors are not strangers, but your own family and friends?
If you have had these dreams, you have plenty of company. But what makes these dreams so hard to realize? It is not just money. Look how much we pay for our present lifestyle. It is not just skills, either, for skills can be learned. Most of all, it is a lack of vision and determination.
We tend to accept things the way we find them: the sprawling suburban neighborhoods, the traffic, the constant round of work and school that consumes most of our days. And we can get so caught up in living this kind of life that our dreams get pushed to the side and we end up feeling there are really no alternatives to what we see around us.
Even if we mobilize our energy and imagination to try to find an alternative, the obstacles are daunting. We must swim against the tide of the way things are. Land, for example, is expensive, and even if we could secure a loan, that means we will be out earning the money to repay it rather than living on the land we bought with it. And the whole world conspires to tell us how to live on this land. It is constantly bombarding us with propaganda about what a proper house should look like and how it should be furnished. And if this propaganda doesn't take hold, we still have to deal with a mass of rules and regulations that tell us where and what we can build, and dictates to us how to do it down to the very size of nails to use. On top of that, we are told that all these rules and regulations are for our own good, and so we are obliged to pay for the enforcement of them on ourselves!
No wonder, when we travel around the U.S., we see thousands and thousands of new stick-built tract homes and search high and low for a genuine alternative building, which is usually to be found pushed out to the far margins of our society. But it should not be this way. In one of the richest countries of the world where we are constantly being told of the economic good times and where material excess is visible at every turn, we lack the imagination to create genuine alternatives.
A Checklist for What is Needed
1. Vision and imagination. We need the firm belief that another way of life is possible, a way that is simpler, more ordinate and more sustainable, and serves higher values.
2. Skills. Basic skills in building, gardening, alternative sources of power, cooking, handcrafts, small businesses, ecological action, etc., etc. A lot of these can be learned by doing and studying.
3. Land. Real land with enough space so that nature is still alive and not crammed into an odd corner here or there; land with room to build and freedom from having people and noise right on top of us.
4. Freedom to do. The freedom to experiment and build and make mistakes and rebuild without constantly having to look over our shoulders and be told that we really ought to live like everyone else.
5. Money. Enough money to buy the land outright and to buy the materials to build our homes, and to put the whole thing on a sound economic basis. No mortgages, no loans, no constant fretting about bills.
6. Like-minded people. We all differ in the size and kind of community we aspire to. But no matter what that is, it would be wonderful to have like-minded people sharing our dreams and helping us realize them whether they live in the same house, or on the next ten acres.

|Help update the distribution records of African mammal species.
|Add your recent photos of animals photographed in Africa.
|Global, anywhere on the planet
THE BROAD PICTURE: The aim of MammalMAP is to update the distribution records of all African mammal species. Through collaborations with professional scientists, conservation organisations, wildlife authorities and citizen scientists across Africa, we consolidate all reliable and identifiable evidence (camera trap records, photographs) of current mammal locations into an open-access digital database. The database software automatically generates online distribution maps of all recorded species which are instantly visible and searchable. The information consolidated within MammalMAP will not only yield crucial information for species conservation policies and landscape conservation policies, but provides an excellent platform for educating the public about African mammals and their conservation challenges.
WHY MAMMALMAP IS NECESSARY: In Africa, our knowledge of mammal distribution patterns is based largely on historical records. However, the last three centuries have seen extensive human-modification of African landscapes with the associated conversion, compression and fragmentation of natural land. With further land development presenting a likely reality for the future, the effectiveness of mammal conservation efforts depends on ecological records being updated so that they accurately reflect mammal distribution patterns in the 21st Century. With MammalMAP we plan to conduct these ecological updates over the coming years, by mapping the current distribution of mammal species (including marine mammals and small mammals) across Africa.
HOW MAMMALMAP CONTRIBUTES TO CONSERVATION: The conservation benefits of this research are multiple. First, the comparison of these updated distribution records with both historical and future records will enable the detection of species' distribution changes in response to human-related and climate-related habitat changes. These change detections will assist the guidance of continent-wide conservation policies and decision making processes. Second, the research will promote and facilitate interdisciplinary and international collaboration amongst scientists and conservation practitioners, with potential benefits to the advancement of conservation science. Finally, both the project input stage (data collection) and output stage (data dissemination) will offer interactive, dynamic and widely applicable education tools suitable for both formal and informal education sectors.
THE WHERE AND THE HOW OF MAMMALMAP: The area of interest for MammalMAP is the whole of Africa. To achieve this we collaborate with scientists, conservation organisations, wildlife authorities and citizen scientists across the continent. Our methods involve consolidating evidence of mammal occurrence in a given location (camera trap records, photographs and other reliable records) into a digital database hosted by the Animal Demography Unit (ADU) at the University of Cape Town. In time, we will use the records in the database to generate distribution maps for all recorded species, in the same way that the ADU has done for birds, reptiles, frogs and butterflies.
|How to Join
Anyone, anywhere can contribute to MammalMAP! All you need is a recent photograph of an African mammal (taken in Africa) that has date information (so we know when it was taken) and location information (so we know where it was taken). Then follow the simple steps on our website to submit your records to MammalMAP's "Virtual Museum".
|Social Media
|Required Gear
All you need is a camera or a camera trap so that you can photograph African mammals. The quality of the photographs needs to be good enough to allow us to identify the animal in the image.
A handheld GPS device is useful, but not essential as we have a link to Google Maps on our website that allows citizen scientists to identify the location of their photographs.
|Ideal Age Group
|Elementary school (6 - 10 years), Middle school (11 - 13 years), High school (14 - 17 years), College, Graduate students, Adults, Families
