Network locations were first introduced in Windows Vista. At that time, they somehow managed to feel half-baked and confusing to users. They were improved in Windows 7 and later on in Windows 8. Now they have a simple implementation and they are a very useful way to manage network connections and network sharing. Let's learn together what they are, how they work and why they are useful.
What is a Network Location in Windows
A network location is a profile that includes a collection of network and sharing settings that get applied to the network you are connected to. Based on the network location assigned to your active network connection, features such as file & printer sharing, network discovery and others might be turned on or off.
These network locations (or profiles if you would like to call them that way) are useful to people who are very mobile and connect their computers to many networks. For example, you could use your work laptop to connect to your company network, take it home at the end of the day, connect to your home network and, during the weekend, travel and connect to free Wi-Fi's in hotels and coffee shops.
Each time you connect to a new network, Windows will ask you to assign a network profile. With this choice, you set the network and sharing settings that are appropriate for that network connection. This help you maintain the security of your system and turn on network and sharing features only when they are useful to you.
Network Locations in Windows 7: Home vs Work vs Public
Windows 7 allows you to choose between three types of profiles/network locations:
- Home network - choose this location when you are connected to your home network or a network with people and devices you fully trust. By default, network discovery will be turned on and you will be able to see other computers and devices which are part of the network. Also, this will allow other computers from the network to access your computer. On home networks you will be also allowed to create or join a HomeGroup.
- Work network- this profile is good when connecting to the network from your workplace. This profile shares the same settings with Home network. The only difference is the fact that it won't allow you to create or join a HomeGroup.
- Public network - this profile is perfect when you are in a public place like an airport, pub or coffee shop. When this profile is used, network discovery and sharing are turned off. Other computers from the same network will not be able to see yours. This setting is also useful when your computer is directly connected to the internet (direct cable/modem connection, mobile internet, etc).
The default settings can be changed for all profiles. To learn how to do this, check our article named How to Customize Network Sharing Settings in Windows 7. Personally, I don't recommend changing them, at least not for the Public network location. The default settings for this profile give you the best security.
There's also a fourth network location profile named Domain network. This one cannot be set by a normal user. It is available for enterprise workplaces and it is set by the network administrator. The settings applied to this profile are those set by your company and you cannot change them.
Network Locations in Windows 8: Private vs Public
Windows 8 further simplifies the concept of network locations, reducing them to only two choices:
- Private network - This profile should be applied to your home network or to the network from your workplace. When this profile is assigned to a network connection, network discovery is turned on, file and printer sharing are turned on and homegroup connections are allowed.
- Public network - This profile is also named Guest. It is the more secure of the two because network discovery is turned off as well as file and printer sharing. This profile should be used when connecting to public networks you don't trust, like those found in airports, coffee shops, bars, hotels, etc.
There's also a third network location profile named Domain network. This one cannot be set by a normal user. It is available for enterprise workplaces and it is set by the network administrator. The settings applied to this profile are those set by your company and you cannot change them.
How to Change the Network Location in Windows 7
Open the Network and Sharing Center. There you will see your active network connections. For each of them, Windows 7 displays their name and assigned network location. Click on the link with the name of the network connection you want to edit.
The "Set Network Location" wizard is now opened. Choose the new location, based on the type of the network you are connected to and the recommendations shared by us earlier in this article.
Windows 7 will inform you that the network location has been changed.
Click on Close and you are done.
How to Change the Network Location in Windows 8
The procedure for changing the network profile is different in Windows 8. You can no longer change it from the Network and Sharing Center. Open the Settings charm. If you are not familiar with the charms concept, read this tutorial: Introducing Windows 8: What are the Charms?.
On the bottom, there is a section with many buttons. The first button on the top left shows the name of the network you are connected to. In my case it is named Network. Click or tap this button.
This opens the list of networks available in your area. If you are connected to the network via cable, only one connection is listed as available - the active one. If you have virtualization software installed, you might also see some virtual network connections being displayed.
If you are connected via wireless, you will see the active network connection as well as other wireless networks available in your area.
Another way to open the list of networks is to go to the Desktop and click or tap the Network icon found in the notification area of your taskbar.
If you are on a tablet or a laptop, this icon will be a Wi-Fi icon.
Let's get back to the Networks list: right click or press and hold your active network connection. A menu is displayed with several options, depending on the network type.
Click or tap "Turn sharing on or off" (the only option common to both wired and wireless networks). For wired networks you will see less options being displayed din the contextual menu.
You are asked if you want to turn on sharing between PCs and connect to devices on this network.
Selecting "No, don't turn on sharing or connect to devices" is the equivalent of applying the Public profile. Selecting "Yes, turn on sharing and connect to devices" is the equivalent of applying the Private profile.
Make your choice and the appropriate settings are applied.
How to Change the Network Location in Windows 8.1
The procedure for changing the network location is very different in Windows 8.1 than in Windows 8. That's why we documented it in a separate tutorial, that can be read here: Change the Location of a Network from Private to Public in Windows 8.1.
Network locations are a useful feature of Windows 7 and Windows 8. With only a few clicks or taps, you change the whole set of network sharing settings applied to the active network connection. If you have any more questions about how it works of if you encounter problems when working with this feature, don't hesitate to leave a comment below.

Is (name's) natural mother alive?
Interviewer instructions
For all children under age 18, we want to know whether either of their own (natural) parents is listed in the Household Listing, and their survival status. This information can be used to measure the prevalence of orphanhood and child fostering in the population. For everyone age 18 and older, HL9-12 will be left blank. --- By 'natural' we mean the biological mother. In many cultures, people consider other people's children whom they are raising as their own, especially children of their husband or sisters, etc. You should be certain that the respondent understands that you are asking about the woman who gave birth to the child. Record whether or not the child's natural mother is still alive by circling the code corresponding to the response given. If the child's natural mother is not alive or if the respondent does not know, skip to HL11. Otherwise, continue to the question in the next column.

Human Centipede 3 Will Begin Filming In May
By Sean O'Connell 2013-01-08 07:29:44 comments
Heres some news to turn your stomach: Plans are afoot for a third chapter in the illustrious Human Centipede franchise -- music to ears of horror fans everywhere.
A lawsuit blocking progress on a third Centipede reportedly has been dropped, according to EW.com. The legal battle was being waged by HC writer-director Tom Six and his producing team against series star Dieter Laser, who Six had claimed had allowed his ego to grow to laughably big proportions and was demanding unacceptable script changes prior to the shoot on part three. Wait, there are scripts for these movies?
Laser reportedly walked out on the production with just a few weeks to go before shooting, leading to the lawsuit. But EW says that the parties have settled their differences, and the third Human Centipede is now expected to begin production in May. In addition, theyre claiming that Laser will play a different character than the demented surgeon he portrayed in the first two films. It still will be a lead role, and hell be teamed with Centipede 2 star Laurence R. Harvey as duo with a storyline no one will expect, according to co-producer Ilona Six.
I know my Human Centipede 3 will be very politically incorrect, but I didnt want to change anything in the script, said Tom Six in a statement. I am very happy Dieter will follow my vision for a full 100% now and know he is absolutely the most brilliant actor I could wish for.
Yes, brilliant. So, the Centipede movies arent my cup of tea (or mouthful of feces), but for those who appreciate Sixs storytelling method, theyre likely thrilled that Lasers back in the fold, and ready to do whatever it takes to horrify for another installment. The movies dont make money, so Im a little surprised that they are even trying to make a third one, but there you go.

An estimated 10,000 Sri Lankans trooped to the Al Arabi Sports Club
in Qatar despite the hot weather to celebrate the Sinhala and Tamil New
Year – Bak Maha Ulela 2013.
Singer-comedian Tissa Abeykoon entertains the audience.
Picture by Joey Aguilar
Sri Lankan Ambassador Jayantha Palipane led the lighting of the
traditional oil lamp. This was followed by traditional games,
entertainment shows and sports activities.
Artistes like Damayantha Kusum Perera Jayathungage, Biyanka Fonseka,
Tissa Abeykoon and Dinusha Lakmali Rajapathirana entertained the crowd
with their songs, acting talent and a comedy show.
"The New Year is one of our major events aside from the Independence
Day celebration where thousands of expatriate workers can enjoy and have
fun," Sri Lankan Co-ordinating Committee, Qatar, President Lenny Cramer
When he came to Doha 17 years ago, the New Year was already being
celebrated by over 35,000 Sri Lankan expatriate workers. The community
now has more than 150,000 members, mostly from the construction sector.
Many believe that attending this annual event will bring prosperity
and other blessings to their country and their families for the entire
year. "They know everything works well for them especially in the
future," Cramer said. Employment and Welfare counsellor W M V Wansekara
said there was a high demand for Sri Lankans in Qatar, with as many as
68,000 coming to the country in 2012. Of the 150,000 Sri Lankan
expatriates, 15 percent are in the domestic sector, 65 percent in
construction and the rest in hospitality and other sectors. The Sri
Lankan Community Benevolent Fund set up a food stall at the venue to
raise funds for those in need.
During the entertainment shows, groups of people were seen dancing
and singing on the field while the artistes sang on stage.
"This is a time to release our stress, a day to bond with friends and
families and a chance to get entertained by our local artistes," said a
young Sri Lankan who was part of a group which stayed until the end of
the programme.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I would like to find an attorney at law who would be upfront about the fact that the UNITED STATES is a FEDERAL CORPORATION and work with me on redeeming my Birth Certificate Securities in accordance with PL 73-10.
PL 73-10 a.k.a. HJR-192 of June 5, 1933.
Need to know how to "redeem" birth certificate securities to discharges debts for the US Trust account named on documents like driver's license, social security cards, IRS tax forms, etc.
I believe that you are referring to a cestui que trust.
There are conspiracy theories that these exist, however, after careful review I see no proof of this being the law in 1933 or otherwise. I see allegations but no proof.
I will opt out so another attorney can assist you.
Thank you.
The first attorney replied that my question(s) may be referring to a trust, but that was not my question.
"United States" means—
yes...Please continue to search for an attorney. The next attorney should already have read the previous postings for this topic...
yes, the STATE OF X creates the birth certificate, but those certificates are forwarded to the US Dept of Vital Statistics, USA COMMERCE DEPT and US TREASURY DEPT and are monetized by the Federal Reserve. The consideration for the security is the mother's pledge (signature on certificate of live birth) of the child's labor and citizenship into the corporate USA government.
I agree that doing business with a corporation does not mean you have stock in the corporation, but that angle is irrelevant to the point.
Please opt out...

Alaska-based singer-songwriter Marian Call has produced something rather special for her latest project. It's a celebration of space exploration and the music video — filmed on location at Space Expo by Arjan Kroonen and produced by Patrick Race at Alaska Robotics — depicts Call orbiting high above Earth with accompanying NASA archival video footage.
I think the music speaks for itself; it's a fun, uplifting and charming addition to the independent artist's already impressive array of work.

A nasal corticosteroid spray is medicine prescribed by your doctor to help make breathing through the nose easier.
How does a nasal corticosteroid spray help you?
A nasal corticosteroid spray reduces swelling and mucus in the nasal passageway. It also relieves bothersome nasal symptoms. The sprays work well for treating:
- Allergic rhinitis symptoms, such as congestion, runny nose, sneezing, itching, or swelling of the nasal passageway
- Nasal polyps, which are noncancerous (benign) growths in the lining of the nasal passage
A nasal corticosteroid spray is different from sprays you can buy at the store without a prescription.
A corticosteroid spray works best when used every day without stopping. Your doctor will recommend a daily schedule of the number of sprays for each nostril.
You may also use the spray on an as-needed basis only, or as needed along with regular use. Regular use gives you better results.
It may take two weeks or more for your symptoms to improve. Be patient. Relieving the symptoms can help you feel and sleep better and have fewer symptoms during the day.
Starting a corticosteroid spray at the beginning of pollen season will give you the best results in terms of decreasing symptoms during that season.
Several brands of nasal corticosteroid spray are available. They all have similar effects.
How do you use a nasal corticosteroid spray?
Make sure you understand your dosing instructions. Spray only the number of prescribed sprays in each nostril. Read the package instructions before using your spray the first time.
Most corticosteroid sprays suggest the following steps:
- Wash your hands well.
- Gently blow your nose to clear the passageway.
- Shake the container several times.
- Keep your head upright. Do not tilt your head back.
- Breathe out.
- Block one nostril with your finger.
- Insert the nasal applicator into the other nostril.
- Aim the spray toward the outer wall of the nostril.
- Inhale slowly through the nose and press the spray applicator.
- Breathe out and repeat to apply the prescribed number of sprays.
- Repeat these steps for the other nostril.
Avoid sneezing or blowing your nose right after spraying.
Side effects
Nasal corticosteroid sprays are safe for all adults. Specific types are safe for children (age 2 and older). Pregnant women can safely use corticosteroid sprays.
The sprays usually work only in the nasal passageway.The medicine does not affect other parts of the body unless too much is used.
Side effects may include any of the following:
- Dryness, burning, or stinging in the nasal passage. This can be helped by using the spray after showering or placing your head over a steamy sink for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Sneezing.
- Throat irritation.
- Headaches and nosebleed (uncommon, but report these to your doctor right away).
- More likely to have an infection in the nasal passages.
- In rare cases, perforation (hole or crack) in the passageway may occur. This can happen if you do not spray away from the middle of the nose.
Make sure you or your child uses the spray exactly as prescribed to avoid side effects. If you or your child uses the spray regularly, see a doctor periodically for examination of the nasal passages to make sure problems are not developing.
When to call the doctor
Call your doctor if you have:
- Nasal irritation, bleeding, or other new nasal symptoms
- Continued allergy symptoms after repeated use of nasal corticosteroids
- Questions or concerns about your symptoms
- Trouble using the medication

Brow Lift
Cleveland Brow Lift -
Dr. Bahman Guyuron
The eye area is especially vulnerable to the effects of aging. Some of the most common signs of an aging face are a sagging brow line, which can make the face look tired, and creases across the forehead. Brow lift, otherwise known as forehead lift, is specifically targeted to improve smoothness and tightness in this area. With more than 30 years of plastic surgery experience, Dr. Guyuron helps his Cleveland brow lift patients as well as those from out of state and international patients, look refreshed and youthful. Dr. Guyuron frequently shares his forehead lift techniques with other plastic surgeons internationally through lectures during symposia and courses.
Brow Lift Consultation
During the brow lift consultation, Dr. Guyuron explores why the candidate is seeking plastic surgery and what his or her ideal outcome entails. Brow lift candidates often complain of one or more of the following:
- Sagging brow line
- Lines and wrinkles across the forehead
- Frown lines (vertical creases between the eyebrows)
- An older or unintentionally sad/angry appearance
- Elongated forehead
After establishing an understanding of the goal of surgery, Dr. Guyuron performs an evaluation of the candidate's face and forehead, and inquires about his or her medical history. This is to confirm the candidate is in good health and can undergo surgery without increasing the surgical risks. Dr. Guyuron will also discuss brow lift techniques and other aspects of the surgery, including anesthesia and incision placement. He may also discuss other facial plastic surgery procedures such as facelift or eyelid surgery. He will advise how the patient can prepare for their day of surgery and make arrangements for recovery (e.g., scheduling a ride home, filling prescriptions).
Dr. Guyuron instructs his patients to refrain from consumption of aspirin, NSAIDs and herbal products for three weeks before and a week after the surgery.
For out-of-town patient who plan to visit Dr. Guyuron , our staff can arrange for a Skype, FaceTime or phone consultation instead of a face-to-face meeting.
The Brow Lift Procedure
Brow lift is performed on an outpatient basis. Patients will receive medications to keep them comfortable and relaxed during surgery. Dr. Guyuron first makes 5 incisions, each about ½ of an inch, all within the hairline. Alternatively he may suggest making a long incision along the hairline to shorten and lift the forehead at the same time. He may move, rearrange or weaken the wrinkle-causing muscles in the forehead and brow area. Then, he will lift the brow skin and remove excess, loose skin. Excess fat is also removed. For patients who need forehead shortening and the lift or shortening alone, Dr. Guyuron may make the incision at the hairline. For those who have frown lines but do not need eyebrow lift he may trim the muscles through an eyelid incision.
The length of surgery will depend on the particular case and patient. After resting in the recovery suite for a short time, patients are released to go home, the condominium nearby the facility or a hotel, if the patient comes from long distance.
Recovering from Brow Lift
Brow lift recovery varies by patient, but typically takes two weeks. Dr. Guyuron and his staff will provide detailed post-operative instructions to speed healing as much as possible. Brow lift patients will have some bruising and swelling, but this should resolve quickly. Patients should rest as much as possible in the days after surgery, and avoid strenuous activities until Dr. Guyuron clears them. He will schedule follow-up appointments to check on the patient's healing progress.
Contact Dr. Guyuron
To schedule a brow lift consultation with Dr. Guyuron, please call us at 440-646-2173 or email our practice today. A member of our staff would be happy to assist you.

Mississippi lawmakers will be busy this week trying to meet a key deadline for advancing legislation.
Some of the bills up for discussion include early voting, more charter schools and Medicaid reform.
If bills aren't reported out of committees in the chamber they originated in by
Feb.3, they will die this session.
Hundreds of bills have been filed in the 90-day regular legislative session that began earlier this month and ends in April.
In the House, leaders want to move an early voting bill out of committee and onto the floor for discussion. The bill would allow Mississippians to head to the polls 15 days before an election.

He starts with his tongue gently and her head rolls back as she experiences waves of pleasure and ecstasy.
As he opens her further, he can envision how amazing it will look when his cock is buried in the tight folds of her flesh.
After she rides his face to multiple orgasms, she lowers her head and opens her mouth, allowing his cock to slowly push past her lips. Her wet tongue gently encircles the head of his cock.
Suddenly, she lets her jaw open as wide as she can and she pushes the head of his cock against the back of her throat. She wanted to touch her lips against her hand, now wrapped firmly around the base of his cock. She's surprised how comfortable it is now that she's relaxed and aroused.
He can feel her throat closing around his cock as she pushes it as far down as she can. In unison, he returns the pleasure with a well timed glide of this tongue across her pussy lips and her clit.
Both moan in pleasure as they climax on the other.
A nice nap after and then waking up for a Merry Christmas.
HD Video coming next. I love it and think it is one our best ever! Members hope you do too.
Happy Holidays! XOXO

I'd hit it
that is all
Apple Stores have started selling the iPhone 5 in Australia, the country where this kind of thing happens first thanks to accidents of geography and the location of the International Date Line. Your correspondent was there and can report that, in the suburban store he visited, the sale was an orderly affair. Our first encounter …
that is all
Going by the older one, you'd need to make sure you had protection on it first otherwise it's going to end badly.
I'd like to see Amy in her Nurses outfit and some black stockings, plz.
Geek girl alert. The blogoshere may approach melt down in the next few days. There is probably already a fan page for her. Mind you she is quite cute.
Are you dry-humping your office desk, or does every photo of a woman under the age of 25 elicit this response?
We need a side by side photo page to compare with with the Asus eee girl......Oh I am having good thoughts now.....I better go and have a cool beer quickly to calm down.
I'd say about 80% of the 18-25 age bracket, can't speak for the OP though
LOL - Fancy that - people masturbating over the phone, without any porn on it.
Damn - must be a "Really Great" phone.
Stick to my cheapy basic mobile - cause I want to make calls more that I want to wank over it / wank with it.
At least they only queued from the night before unlike the iDiots in NY queuing up for 8 days. I assume that there are less obsessive compulsives in Oz, after all it's only a fucking phone, owning one isn't going to change your life.
But there is a chance media will interview you and you'll be in the papers or on the TV or something!
That was the Broadway store... That Apple Store is inside the shopping centre and Centre management wouldn't allow the queueing inside the store.
At the "Standalone" Apple store in the centre of Sydney people had been queueing since last weekend. We have the same fanboi idiots here that they have in the US.
Joke icon because it is the iPhone5 the biggest joke played on the fanbois yet.
And here I thought they weren't queuing up for several days because the people of oz have such short attention spans. Then again, the iPhone is pretty shiny.
"there are less obsessive compulsives in Oz"
Should be, "there are fewer obsessive compulsives in Oz"
Pardon me, I have to go and shout at the pigeons in the park now.
Well, I suppose everyone knowing you're an idiot will change your life, but perhaps not in the way you might have hoped.
(Note: this sentiment applies to anyone who queues for days for anything, not just to iPhone buyers.)
"owning one isn't going to change your life."
But it will!!! My very soul needs validation from such things. Oh God please, someone define me, I am so vacuous without such affectations!
No, I think I am right to use 'less' in this instance, less is used when referring to something that can't be counted or doesn't have a plural, to quote Albert Einstein "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.", since the level of stupidity is infinite, and we are talking about the iDiots, it is uncountable and therefore 'less' is the correct comparative to use (or is it a superlative?)
I'd also like to offer you my most enthusiastic contrafibularities for the helping me to get learned gooder English like what it ought to be spoke and embiggening my vocabularly.
"less is used when referring to something that can't be counted or doesn't have a plural"
"obsessive compulsives"
Or is it that the compulsives are less obsessive?
@ Field Marshal Von Krakenfart
Your proposition concerning the infinitude and consequent indivisibility of human idiocy is an exquisitely handsome example of the genre, and I salute it thus!

Travelling on public transport one can clearly see that Apple owns Australia. Every douche and his dog owns an iPhone.
Having said that.... Aussie is always a few yearss behind the curve and I reckon this will change.
And if you went but what I see flying business class you'd think Blackberry still had 60% of the market.
God I hate that phoney corporate team crap.
"There's no I in team! Am I right..I mean, err...WE mean WE are right, yeah!"
We all work together, we're one big happy family here, we're a TEAM!
Until your job gets outsourced to some third world shithole for a tenth of your wage, then it's "there's the fucking door sunshine, security will escort you off the premises to make sure you don't fuck with the computers."
Absolutely, Johnny. That shit makes me sick too.
...but there is a ME
But there's a U in MUPPET
"There's no I in team!"
But there are two in idiot. :-D
There is also no 'F' in WAY.
TEAM; Technically Excellent Android Mobile
Does Amy actually know what a phone does? What will she do after the Zombacalypse when the only phones that work have a rotary dial and a cord? I suppose the zombies will enjoy a light snack.
What, no zombie icon?
If you want a phone that works, your choice has always been cheap dumbphone, such as a Nokia with a goddamn monochrome screen and lasts for weeks.
I would definitely not say you need to spend hundreds on an iPhone 5 to achieve working calls, or are people really that stup... don't answer that, of course, she was waiting in a long line to buy a phone.
"If you want a phone that works, your choice has always been cheap dumbphone, such as a Nokia with a goddamn monochrome screen and lasts for weeks."
Don't be so literal.
A 'phone that works' means 'A phone that I can easily use the full functionality of'. That is what Apple do: They make phones that any feul can use. That is why they sell to masses of people who otherwise are often very non-technical: They are simple to operate and require no faffing.
It's not my cup of tea, but that's a major contributing factor to their popularity. It's like the difference between stereo with a hundred buttons and twiddly bits and one with an 'on' and a volume button. Some people don't want to fiddle: They want a simple experience.
Battery in BlackBerry Bold 9790 lasts for a week, if one is using it only for few calls and not much else. Same battery as 9900 but slower (i.e. frugal) CPU. It's also briliant at texting (thanks to proper keyboard) and the reception is good, as are other traditional phone qualities like switching calls, contact book or phone log. So I would say, (some) BlackBerries work great as a phone.
Of course some will grumble about poor choice of apps in RIM store or imminent death of the platform, but it is not app store, or platform, which makes great phone (unless you own an iPhone).
iphones are not my cup of tea either but i recommended one for my dad because again, it just works. He doesnt want to do things outside the box but he does understand the internet, email and taking photos and videos. It is easy for him to use his phone and mac and can do everything he wants on them both.
I personally dont like the extra expense or walled garden approach but I can appreciate her sentiment.
I hear this a lot, but I find that Android on ICS and above is very easy to use, as does my not-really-technical-i-just want-to-send-a-text-and-check-facebook girlfriend.This was maybe not the case a few years ago but I think times have changed.
I'm sure I read a study once which compared how a 'virgin' user would perform tasks on iOS and Android, and I think it was really close. They measured things like hunting around to find the correct button etc.
I find the amount of comments for these articles from people who want to defend apple whilst distancing themselves from their products to be most amusing, keep them up.
Infact I may even write my own.
"Yes but you have to remember this is what Apple do well, they make functionality easily accessible to the masses, whilst not my sort of thing and i would never own one i can understand the appeal."
oh so thats how the undead track the living so effectively, use of a radio network. or is it because the living tend to be noisy and loud.
" ...it is pleasingly light, so much so that an Apple Store staffer joked it may be disconcertingly so."
He was then taken into a back room by two black shirted staff, for re-education and attitude adjustment.
" ...it is pleasingly light, so much so that an Apple Store staffer joked it may be disconcertingly so."
Think I may be an exception to the norm but I don't like ultrathin/ultralight mobiles so I'd probably agree with this Apple store bod.
Well done to the coffee shop, I trust they sold the right coffee, all froth and no substance.
Now what would that match?
I am getting sick and tired of these 'news' stories regarding Apple and their products.
When Apple create a product that cures cancer, then write about it.
too soon
"When Apple create a product that cures cancer, then write about it."
The Chuck Norris Phone has an app for that.
so daft as folk
My grandfather made it plural ... "Nowt daft as folks".
Folk is a plural, surely?
Of course "folk" is plural. I was just reporting Granpa's variation on the theme :-)

Just listened to the BBC World Service 'reporting' from the queue at the Regent street shop. Some seriously fucking scary people there including one who flew from Sweden to London to buy his iHit, apparently to show his thanks to Apple for blah, blah blah. Scary, scary shit. Like the Borg after a collective Masters at a version of the Royal College of Art where they only admitted people under six years old and closed down the Union bar.
I've owned a dozen Macs, even have an iPad, but if I ever end up like that, someone please shoot me.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The secretary of the Army says he will have the final say on whether a disgraced brigadier general at the center of a sexual misconduct case retires at a lower rank with sharply reduced retirement pay.
John McHugh told a House committee Tuesday the case of Brigadier General Jeffrey A. Sinclair remains open a week after he was spared prison and sentenced to a reprimand and a $20,000 fine.
Sinclair had a three-year affair with a female captain who accused him of twice forcing her to perform oral sex on him. He pleaded guilty to lesser charges of adultery and conducting inappropriate relationships with two others by asking them for nude pictures and exchanging sexually explicit email.
House Democrats called the Sinclair sentence shocking.

I'm using the RODBC package inside an ORACLE DATA BASE (DB). Everything is doing very well, but I need to obtain a table from this DB and some variables as characther type, not numbers.
So, I made my query like this:

t.plancheta from c_araya.proy_dist08_todo t where nvl(t.fono_tipo_dis, '-') not in ('CLIENTE', 'POTENCIAL', 'CARTERA') and nvl(t.x, 0) <> 0 ")
Is imposible to get the ID number as Character, this query change the type of my iDs variables from Character to Numberic type (The ID has a zero at the begining, but has been changed it into a number). I have read the function description, but I can see how to manage it.
Any idea would be really apreciated, thanks in advance!

Red Dragon – Marijuana Strain Review
Red Dragon Marijuana
Red Dragon is the outcome of cross breeding two exotic strains of marijuana, the Utopia Haze strain and the West Himalayan Kush. Red Dragon begins with a strong sativa high and settles out with a mellow long lasting kush high. It's buds are large and shattered with shades of red and green.
The Red Dragon is a strain of weed that is extremely effective at warding off stress and anxiety. Red Dragon is known to increase hunger, curing the lack of appetite that comes with cancer treatment and anorexia.
Smoking Red Dragon gives the user a 'happy high'. The smoker experiences high levels of happiness mixed with uplifting and euphoric feelings. Red Dragon also increases how talkative you are and decreases your want for activity.
The major negative aspect of Red Dragon is that it is more lightly to give you a headache or cause dizziness then other strains. As seen in many types of weed, Red Dragon also causes dry mouth and dry eyes.

Sharon Osbourne Is Not Leaving America's Got Talent…For Now
July 26, 2012 08:00 AM by Lisa Princ
Sharon Osbourne left America's Got Talent fans in a panic yesterday as she posted a very cryptic Tweet suggesting that she may be leaving the show. After the rumors started to swirl, NBC executives tried to calm fans down, but no one was buying it unless they heard from Sharon herself. Well fans, you can rest assured now – Sharon Osbourne confirmed that she is not leaving America's Got Talent…for now anyway. More after the jump!
The mystery has been solved – Sharon Osbourne is not leaving America's Got Talent, at least according to Sharon herself. After much speculation and buzz yesterday after posting some cryptic Tweets suggesting that she may be leaving the show, E! News was able to corner Sharon Osbourne (and Howard Stern) and get the truth from her! "I will be here today, tomorrow," Sharon Osbourne replied when asked about whether or not she would be leaving the talent competition as a judge.
So why did she post the Tweets then? We can only assume that she was just joking around and having fun with Howard Stern, as the two appeared to keep the jokes going for E! News. "I would never leave you," Osbourne told Stern during the interview, but then comically added: "That's why we're going to CBS to have a late night talk show together." Stern's response? "You're going to stay with AGT. I'm going to American Idol with Mariah Carey."
So, is she serious or not? According to E!, Sharon is not going anywhere right now, but who knows what the future holds. What do you think RTVM: Is this really Sharon Osbourne's last season of America's Got Talent? If so, who do you think should replace her on the judges' panel? Sound off in the Comments section below.

If Sharon leaves AGT then I'll quit watching it! I love all the current judges on the show this season… I hated Mr Morgan

I think Stern should leave. I don't understand why the network is playing him as the "STAR". I had much rather see Sharon and Howie and almost anyone else together than to have Howard Stern on there. He can go to American Idol if he wants to, I don't watch that show anyway. Sharon, Howie and Nick make America's Got Talent and they should all stay put for the Fans.

Darwinism, as used since the late 19th century, refers to the concept of natural selection in evolution. Based upon the studies of Charles Darwin, Darwinism promotes that the "fittest" of its species will survive and live to create the next generation. Applied to business, this theory makes a lot of sense. The fittest or most profitable businesses should survive, and others will follow their business models to eventual success themselves. But what happens when the system fails?
Survival Of The Poorest
Today, the bailout loans for the Big Three automakers, General Motors (NYSE:GM), Ford (NYSE:F) and privately held Chrysler, were announced by the Bush administration, throwing what many believe is "good money after bad". These companies have not been profitable for years, and in particular, General Motors hasn't made a net profit in the past three years, and lost almost $39 billion ($39 per share) over the past 12 months. How can a company that hasn't been profitable since 2004 blame its situation on the goings on of the past 24 months? The answer to this question is that it can't - General Motors is not a fit company. (To learn the difference between Chrysler's structure and the other two, be sure to read our frequently asked question What's the difference between publicly and privately-held companies?)
The loans were made to the troubled automakers with danger to the nation's economy through closures as the reason for the bailout. In exchange for the rescue, tough concessions are required from the companies and their workers (represented by the United Autoworkers Union or UAW). In addition, the government will have the right to become a shareholder - much like it did with many of the major banks that it also bailed out.
Under the conditions of the loan, GM and Chrysler would have to provide warrants to the government giving it the option to buy in at a specific price. Ford, whose CEO Alan Mulally said would not need the short-term financial assistance, will not be offering up any ownership as of now. Ford's hope is that the aid to the other companies should be enough to stabilize the industry and that Ford will not need to take advantage of the loans being offered. (Discover the advantages of warrants to see why the government might want to use them in our article: What Are Warrants?)
Automakers Are Different
In any other industry, in any other time, companies that are not profitable either close-up shop or are strategically acquired by other parties. So, why did the government feel it had to step in this time?
Given the current financial environment I agree that a failure of these businesses would be detrimental to the economy, but I wonder if artificially propping up these companies is going to change that. Investors (both at home and abroad) are aware of the aid, and this will not necessarily make them any more comfortable in pouring money back into the economy. Yes, the workers will continue to be employed for now, but the concessions required of these companies will result in pay cuts and layoffs - things that would have occurred in a pre-packaged and orderly bankruptcy process. As it stands, I wouldn't be surprised if General Motors still went belly up. Indeed, Fitch Ratings has downgraded GM and Chrysler's debt rating to C from CCC believing that a default is imminent.
Thanks to this act of government, these companies won't be able to just default on the billions in debt they already have, they will default on the tax payer's money now too. I wonder who gets paid first if and when a bankruptcy actually does occur. (Be sure to read our related article What Is A Corporate Credit Rating? to learn more about this concept and An Overview Of Corporate Bankruptcy to learn about chapter 11 and chapter 7 filings.)
Bottom Line
I say let them fail. Darwinian pain has been necessary for many other species and industries to reform - take for example, the airline industry or the recent banking industry pains. If the banks can merge, file bankruptcy and arise better, then why can't the automakers? Darwinism must be dead.

Quake Epsilon is a graphically enhanced build of shareware Quake 1 for Windows/Linux/Mac, which can be upgraded to the full version of Quake along with it's mission packs Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity by copying the full-version .pak files into the correct folders.
It's made out of the Darkplaces engine and many mods from members of the Quake One forums and elsewhere (these are listed at the bottom of the page) as well as my own work. If it were not for these people, this build would not exist. These builds are legal and do not contain pirated content. Just simple unzip-and-play stuff.
There are four graphics modes, which you can switch between via an external batch file ('High' is default):
The videos below show the differences between the four graphics modes, as well as some of the gameplay. Best viewed fullscreen at 720p:
v2.52 to v2.53 patch (0.24MB): Moddb
Quake Epsilon build v2.52 (1.45GB): Moddb - Google drive
Mission Pack 1 (scourge of armagon) addon v2.52 (325MB): Moddb
Mission Pack 2 (dissolution of eternity) addon v2.52 (476MB): Moddb
Mission Pack 3 (abyss of pandemonium) addon v2.52 (220MB): Moddb
Third-party expansions/map-packs at bottom of the page.
Epsilon v2.50 to v2.52 patch (for those with v2.50 builds) (28MB): Moddb
Changelog at bottom of page.
|Mission Pack 1
|Mission Pack 2
|Mission Pack 3
On first run, my script will ask you to choose a graphics quality level (and on linux, will install dependencies). Choose one.
Then go into video config and adjust your resolution and brightness/gamma to taste.
That's all!
Follow the first two instructions for the shareware version as above then copy the "PAK0.PAK" and "PAK1.PAK" files from your commercial installation of quake (if you're using the steam version these will be in your steam/steamapps/common/quake/id1 folder) to the "id1" folder in your quake epsilon installation. Your computer will probably ask whether you want to overwrite the existing PAK0.PAK - do so. Then run the game as per the third step above.
You'll need the Quake epsilon build (with full commercial .pak) installed on your computer as per the above instructions.
You'll need the Quake epsilon build (with full commercial .pak) installed on your computer as per the above instructions.
You'll need the Quake epsilon build (with full commercial .pak) installed on your computer as per the above instructions. Mission pack 2 addon also must be installed (mission pack 2 .pak not required).
I can't include the original soundtrack for Quake (and the steam version doesn't contain it either) for legal reasons, but it can be found around the net. Alternatively I've included my own retrotastic "Diabolipak" music replacement pack in the build, which I hope you'll enjoy.
The soundtracks for the mission packs are also not included with the steam download but can be found around the net- instead I've included an alternative soundtrack by Baz (Barry Gibson) for Mission pack 1, and a correctly-looped and edited version of Sonic Mayhem's "Methods of Destruction" for Mission pack 2. Mission Pack 3 (Abyss of Pandemonium) was released for free in 2004 by the development team and contains a fixed (correctly-looped, volume-adjusted) version of it's own soundtrack + a couple of my own tracks for the two initial maps (which were without music originally).
One bug that I am aware of is associated with the darkplaces engine, which is the gold door at the end of the first level in Mission pack 1. If you do not approach it correctly it won't open.
Workaround is: if you move to the left side of the door and slide slowly to the right while pushing into the door, you'll get it to open. This bug also occurs in HIP3M4 (The Gauntlet) on the Silver door. If you approach it running or to the left of it, it won't open. Approach it slowly and from the right.

If you happen to like the music in the compilation, it's mostly taken from one album I did: xolve.bandcamp.com - it's free, and quite retro (pre-2000). Some of it was also taken from my other albums, thelorax.bandcamp.com (acoustic), exolve.bandcamp.com (electronica) and onefatalpunch.bandcamp.com (angst), which are more modern but not free.

Additional 2 tracks for the levels without music - one taken from this album: http://exolve.bandcamp.com/, the other is some of my own non-album work, reused.
These are third-party Quake expansions/map-packs which the authors have kindly allowed me to adapt for the Quake Epsilon builds - but they should also work with any current-generation modded build of Darkplaces (but will probably not look as pretty). All expansions assume you also have Epsilon MP1 and MP2 addons already installed, and will not look as good without them.
This is the best partial-conversion/map-pack/mod I've seen for Quake, and rivals the original game, once you get into it.
The first few levels feel like your usual space marine thing, but the further you get in... dark and interesting.
This was released by the Travail team in 2007, who have thankfully given their blessing for me to patch/package it for use with the epsilon builds.
It consists of 3 episodes, 15 levels, plus a secret level - plus it's own (highly atmospheric) soundtrack!
Great work by the team.
* Quake Epsilon build
(or any modded darkplaces build with (at a minimum) the quake reforged bestiary skins, shambler castle pk3, rygel texturepack (or QRP texturepack) and dp pretty water mod in your id1 folder).
* Quake Epsilon Mission Pack 1 addon (will run fine without it, but may use some textures from MP1)
* Quake Epsilon Mission Pack 2 addon (will run fine without it, but many textures will look blurry)
* the full commercial version of quake (ie. full-version .pak files copyed into your id1 directory)
* NOT required: full commercial version .paks for quake mission pack 1 and 2
Travail for Quake Epsilon v2.52 (226MB): Moddb
1. Fixed final level for use with darkplaces (original level could not be completed in darkplaces due to script/spawn problem), thanks to Jack Meacher!
2. New azoth model from Andrew (Preach) Denner added.
3. My quake-reforged-mod alt-enforcers added for the 2nd and third kinds of enforcers in travail.
4. Multiple travail packages combined.
5. Some older models stripped away.
6. A few models added courtesy of Quake Reforged, fragger, lightning hunter, the Shambler castle team/OoPpEe and Seanstar.
7. Handy startup batch/bash files added with lighting adjustment on first run to compensate for lack of 'full lighting'.
8. Original quake flame models added back in (otherwise any build using the small mod compilation and these maps will have no flames in some places).
9. .ent and .rtlight files generated for travail start map to properly differentiate from id1 directory start map settings.
10. Seven's transparent HUD used.
11. Travail soundtrack converted from .mp3 to .ogg for darkplaces engine.
12. Jakub's VIS'ed maps and relight files used.
13. All files extracted from .pak in order to override any files in id1 directory - particularly travail's progs.dat, which is required to complete the game.
14. Gloss, norm and luma maps generated for all the travail-specific monsters.
15. Different knight-spike added.
16. Travail-specific monster & weapon textures edited and detail added by me. Also placement corrected. Ver 2.5

The talented Matthias Worch has allowed me to port/package Beyond Belief for the epsilon builds. This is a seminal and classic 7-level (8 if you count the secret level) quake map/mod-pack, with great attention to detail and excellent construction. Loads of fun.

Me and Baz's soundtrack
This excellent expansion/6-map pack is brought to us by the talented vIE888, who has graciously allowed me to adapt it to work with the epsilon packs.
It's a very difficult, tricky and puzzle-y sort of set, bound to test your brains.
Even the first level is pretty tricky to get through (hint: you need TWO tridents, not one)!
Another hint: the end sequence text is a joke (as explained on the moddb page, there is no "commercial version"...).
Enjoy! And make sure to thank vIE888 on moddb!

Ochre's Fictional Soundtrack: http://www.ochremusic.com
Christopher Leary (Ochre) has kindly provided me with the unused tracks that he made for the halflife 2 mod, "Metastasis". I've looped and joined them into a soundtrack for The Myths, along with two of my tracks for the opening level and between-level music.
Minor bug in windows version batch file for this expansion meant game crashed when it tried to run. No need to download if using mac or linux.
Corrected really dumb bug in the batch files for the 3rd party expansions. If you're not running windows, no need to download. However, if you are on windows and you already downloaded the v2.0 versions, you only need to change the 22nd line of the expansion's batch file from "goto PAUSEEXIT" to "goto STARTGAME", rather than re-downloading the thing.
Basically, don't redistribute any of the above content on a website or magazine or torrent without my permission. You can get this by contacting me through Moddb - the reasons aren't that I have a problem with redistribution, it's just that there's certain technical details people need to be aware of when re-packaging this stuff, and also I prefer not for there to be many lingering copies of old versions floating around the net.

The art of horticulture
Recently, the Philadelphia Inquirer published an article titled "Is horticulture a withering profession?" Paul B. Redman, director of Longwood Gardens, a premier display garden, stated that horticulture is competing against a lot of other careers.
Pierre S. DuPont initially started Longwood Gardens as both a display and educational garden. This is the same DuPont who made the DuPont company the success it is today as a business. As a chemist, an engineer, innovator and a lover of great landscapes and flowers, DuPont saw the wisdom in implementing a public garden not just for display and collections but also research for plant breeding, propagation and conservation, as well as education.
The Professional Gardener Program, which is now an accredited two-year program, started as a way of training young students to be professionals in the green industry. This program encompasses landscape design and installation, plant biology, botany and nomenclature and other plant science, soil science, entomology, vegetable gardening, specialty crops, greenhouse production, arboriculture, natural lands management, turf management and more.

Now, companies are beginning to take yet another step forward. It's what Jim Barksdale, president and CEO of Mountain View, California-based Netscape Communications Corp. refers to as: "the beginning of a whole new attitude in business about how to communicate-within the business, among employees and managers, as well as between the business and its external constituents: partners, customers and vendors."
It has been dubbed the extranet, and it promises to usher in another wave of productivity and efficiency gains. Quite simply, it means designing virtual private networks so that data can flow freely between companies. A growing number of organizations suddenly are realizing the value of linked databases. For example, Oracle Corp. of Redwood City, California, now conducts open benefits enrollment for more than 8,500 employees in only three weeks. Here's how it works: Oracle's intranet contains a link to pages on Aetna's Web site that have been specially designed for Oracle employees. Using a variety of electronic forms and hyperlinks, employees can step through the entire enrollment process online—even choosing a doctor directly from insurance provider Aetna.
At New York City-based AT&T Corp., employees use an array of decision-support tools to help them understand the company's health-care policies and providers, compare the salary impact of various benefits options and conduct secure benefits transactions online. By querying the database, an employee can model his or her benefits elections in real time. Most employees now have access to this customized data, using desktop computers at work and their PCs at home. Later in 1997, AT&T will open the intranet to the company's retiree population.
Extranets give employees direct access to their 401(k) accounts. Other companies, including Houston-based Compaq Computer Corp., now are allowing employees to access their 401(k) accounts from the corporate intranet. They then can link directly to the financial institution or mutual fund provider's computer, in which it's possible to jump in and out of various funds or reallocate assets. No paperwork, no phone calls-and the end user has the advantage of using online tools to do sophisticated modeling and then immediately view various scenarios on the Web browser. Compaq's intranet links directly to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania-based The Vanguard Group, the company's 401(k) provider. Some industry experts believe that the entire 401(k) industry will be on the Internet within five years.
According to Shellie Unger, a principal at the Vanguard Group, the extranet is allowing employers to better educate workers and get them more involved in their retirement planning. "People are able to view personalized, customized data. They can view balances and fund performance that's current rather than several weeks old. And they can do it from their PC, whether they're at work or at home. It's marrying the educational side with the transactional side, and cutting costs and paperwork in the process."
Extranets make it easy for users to find pertinent information. The linking of databases can provide benefits far beyond retirement and insurance, however. Interactive Corporate Communications, a White Plains, New York software company, now provides the ability to link into The Dependent Care Connection Inc. (DCC) based in Westport, Connecticut using its Java-based intranet software. A company's employees can obtain referrals directly from DCC, a company providing dependent-care counseling, education and other services. The module also will provide users with the ability to participate in e-mail discussion groups, perform financial modeling and receive wellness assessments.
Although security concerns are still holding some companies back, secure socket layer (SSL) encryption and advances in firewalls and corporate security have made it safe to conduct sensitive transactions. "A tremendous array of opportunities exist. We're at the very early stage of the adoption curve," notes Roger Lee, manager of Internet products for Santa Clara, California-based Edify Corp., a company offering workflow automation software for intranets. "If you think about it, tremendous synergies exist by automating transactions within a company and between companies."

APPLICATIONS BEING ACCEPTED FOR PERSONNEL MANAGER (beginning Fall 2016) AND FACILITIES MANAGER (beginning Spring 2017).
Living and working at Camp Denali and North Face Lodge represents a lifestyle, not just a summer job. We are a community of approximately 50 people, ranging in age from 4 to 72. We share our summer home with up to 75 guests from all corners of the country and globe.
Our remote location and commitment to stewardship require us to be a resourceful team. More often than not, we bake it, we sew it, we build it, we fix it, we grow it, and we recycle it. A sense of place grows from the earnest work of maintaining this enterprise, from the camaraderie and friendships that grow, and from our commitment to provide the best quality experience for our guests in a setting that is beyond compare.
Working here can be an opportunity to learn a variety of skills and develop a strong work ethic, and it can be a place to grow professionally as a server, cook, housekeeper, maintenance worker, or naturalist. Each summer we employ new-to-Camp-Denali people as housekeepers and servers, kitchen helpers, cooks, operations crew members, and naturalist guides. Summer management positions and year-round jobs are often filled by returning staff. Most staff members work at both lodges and often work two or three different positions during the course of their workweek. Job descriptions and base wages for the various jobs can be found by clicking the Job Descriptions button at the left.
Wages are paid monthly. Pay is based on a 10-hour workday and a 5-day workweek. Gratuities are pooled and divided equally among all staff. There is no charge for room or board during the summer season. We offer travel stipends for out-of-state employees.
