The Los Angeles City Council voted Tuesday to study the effects of doubling the city's tax on property sales and increasing a tax on private parking lots.
The council acted on the recommendation of City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana, who said the increases are needed because the city is on pace to spend more money than it takes in for years to come.
In a report to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the council, Santana said city revenues are projected to grow 2.5 percent over the next four years, while spending – mainly from employee salaries, pensions, healthcare and workers' compensation – are predicted to rise faster at 3.9 percent.
The city is facing a structural budget deficit between $200 million and $250 million for the 2013-14 fiscal year.
Without the tax increases, Santana said city officials would likely be forced to shrink the size of the police and fire departments, which have largely been spared from severe budget cuts in recent years.
Santana recommended that the council ask voters in March to approve doubling the documentary transfer tax, which property owners pay when they sell a home or building, from $4.50 to $9.50 per every $1,000 of a property's value. Raising the tax would generate an additional $100 million or so per year for the city, based on current home sales.
He also recommended asking voters to raise the parking occupancy tax from 10 percent to 15 percent of parking charges, a move budget analysts estimate would raise an additional $45 million above what the city collects per year.
The Beverly Hills/Greater Los Angeles Association of Realtors opposes raising the tax on home sales, saying it would harm the recovery of the city's fragile housing sector.
"Home buyers have a choice. They can go across the border to Glendale or Burbank or West Hollywood and get the same home in an area where there are good sidewalks and better services," said James Ward Litz, government affairs director of the Realtor group. "We don't want Los Angeles to be at a competitive disadvantage from surrounding communities.
Litz said the association is prepared to wage a campaign against the tax increase. The group this week sent out 100,000 pieces of mail urging residents to ask their council members to keep the measure off the ballot.

VIENNA (Mar. 13)
President Kurt Waldheim apologized Thursday night for Austrians' Holocaust crimes and called for reconciliation, but insisted that Austria was the first victim of the Third Reich.
Waldheim, whose controversial history led to his prohibition against speaking at any official event commemorating the 50th anniversary of Austria's annexation by the Third Reich, made his apology during a five-minute television address.
"An avalanche of suffering went down on this country, which was the first victim of Hitler's aggression, but the worst ever happened to our Jewish compatriots," Waldheim declared.
He said the victims of the Holocaust "have to be a steady warning for the future. Although we do not accept the idea that there is a collective guilt, I do want to apologize as head of state for the crimes committed by Austrians."
"Austria has also proven in the past 40 years that it is guarding and respecting the values of freedom, human rights and tolerance," he continued. "We are also open vis-a-vis criticism, but as head of state I also ask the critics for fairness and objectivity and to refrain from collective condemnation and generalization."
Waldheim began his speech with a personal reminiscence of the Anschluss. "On this very sad and traumatic day for Austria, we were all sitting at home listening the radio," he recalled.
"When Chancellor Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg said those historic words, 'We give way to violence, God save Austria,' we all knew that a tragedy was happening to our dear fatherland. I was 19 years old then. After listening to the radio, my mother cried and tears were running down her checks."
The president said his family's experience "was not the exception. There were hundreds of thousands who felt like that. But let us not deny the fact that also hundreds of thousands welcomed the annexation of Austria to the German Reich. Austrians were not only victims; they were also involved in terrible crimes and atrocities."
Waldheim, who has admitted trying to conceal three years of service in the German army, said: "The days of commemoration must also be days of thinking and evaluating the things which happened. There is only one lesson to be learned from the past, and that is to bridge the differences and restrain from any feeling of hate."

Declines in housing starts and building permits data suggest Canada is headed for the soft landing in real estate that policymakers have forecast, damping concern that a rapid fall in home prices could hobble the world's 11th-largest economy.
Home construction dropped 18 percent in March to the lowest annual pace since the 2009 recession, Canada Mortgage & Housing Corp. said from Ottawa on Tuesday. Residential building permits also dropped 21 percent in February from January's record high, Statistics Canada said in a separate report.
Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz has said the housing market is heading for a "soft landing" with consumer debts as a share of income stabilizing around record highs. The International Monetary Fund said Tuesday that house prices and household finances remain a "key vulnerability" for Canada.
Real estate is "not crashing like some were expecting, but sales demand is a bit more subdued," said Robert Kavcic, a Bank of Montreal senior economist in Toronto. "I don't know if it's a bad thing; it's what policymakers want to see."
The drop in housing starts to an annual pace of 156,823 units in March will help bring construction to the 180,000 annual rate that is needed to fulfill demand from population growth, Kavcic said.
Tuesday's data showed sharp declines for multiple-unit housing, which has been the focus of policymaker concern, particularly in Toronto and Vancouver. Construction starts on urban multiple-unit housing fell 26 percent in March, while the value of building permits fell 32 percent in February.

The Gender Situation & the Situation Room
20th May
A few news events have caught my eye this past week—particularly, the Orthodox Jewish newspaper that photoshopped Hillary Clinton out of the iconic Situation Room photo and The Atlantic Monthly's report "Danger: Falling Tyrants" by Jeffrey Goldberg on the move toward democracy in the Middle East. But it was an email exchange with one of our former editors/writers, Maura O'Connor, who is reporting from Afghanistan where she's embedded among US troops, that made me think about these events in the context of our responsibility, as sophisticated postmodern individuals who are living in a pluralistic global society. We often literally brush up against those who have very different worldviews—radically different ways of understanding reality and human relationship.
Maura told me that she and a friend, another young American female journalist, were talking about whether to wear headscarves in … Read More »

Recalling moments that linger from 2013
Published 4:59 pm, Thursday, December 19, 2013
Moments. It all amounts to moments. Any concert, any play, any performing arts event, comes down to series of instants that clip past briskly, drag on painfully or leap headlong into timelessness, never to depart.
Below are five live highpoints from 2013 that, for me, went and stayed there. They don't represent a survey of the Capital Region arts scene in the past 12 months — the hottest, biggest, best — or a cross-section of media and disciplines. They're just my own unforgettable moments from a year jam-packed with them.
Pete and Peggy Seeger, Proctors, May 15
Was it a concert? Or was it a chance to bask for a few hours in the presence of a 94-year-old folk legend and his sister, hearing them sing a little, talk a little, be a little (more than a little) adorable and spread a little peace, love and understanding throughout the world? It was all those things — and a sing-along, too. But his performance of "Quite Early Morning," that soft meditation on humanity's chances, was the moment to cherish: one part warning, one part hope. Pete barely has a voice any longer, but his grace that night still hit the rafters.

"Seeing," Albany Symphony Orchestra with pianist Orion Weiss, EMPAC, June 1.
The ASO had so many moments this past year — on the road at Carnegie Hall, at home with Yo-Yo Ma and other world-class soloists — that I had a tough time choosing just one. I finally settled on its performance of this Christopher Rouse piano concerto because, frankly, a lot of people hated it. As a meditation on madness, it wasn't an easy work by any definition: not to play, not to hear. As Rouse told the crowd at EMPAC, "I hope you don't enjoy it," and I'm not sure I did. But I was engulfed by it; I was disturbed by it; I was mesmerized by it. One long moment in a surreal, disorienting scherzo drilled me to my seatback, made me think and feel. And that's all anyone can ever ask of art.
"Animal Crackers," Williamstown Theatre Festival, June-July
There may have been weightier, more cutting-edge productions with much higher brows mounted this year. But Williamstown's revival of the bananas Marx Brothers musical (about deranged goings-on at a glam party) packed more belly laughs per minute than anything else in any medium I experienced this year. The sum was less mimicry than a winking, slapstick, note-perfect homage to age-old punnery and ageless, zany fun. Although the moments streaked past way too quickly, one of them — a loony dream sequence with massive wigs — went on forever and ever. In a good way.
Bryn Terfel, Tanglewood, July 18
Andrea Bocelli's poperatic stop at the Times Union Center might have been the bigger ticket, but the Welsh bass-baritone's recital in Ozawa Hall was the keeper: a rapturously performed, giddily entertaining night of English and German art songs, familiar Celtic tunes and delicious, salty ham. Terfel proved himself a charismatic and hilarious storyteller, capping off the evening with a gorgeous take on "Home on the Range" — yes, "Home on the Range" — that became, in a Seeger-like moment of transcendent communal joy, a sing-along. You had to be there. I'm glad I was.
David Griggs-Janower's memorial service, Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, Aug. 30
I'm including this because the service marking Janower's life and death was as much a musical celebration, and a glorious one at that, as a goodbye. The crowd filling the Music Hall that Friday noon heard spoken tributes and performances by members of Albany Pro Musica, the exquisitely deft choral group that Janower founded and led, with passion and erudition, for more than 30 years. In a sense it was his final concert, a fitting cap to a career that embraced wide audiences, diverse collaborators and centuries of music. But the moment that struck me most occurred afterward and outside, as members of the music community milled around talking in the sunshine. Some had never even met, much less worked together. Thanks to Janower, maybe they will.

Quick Start
2.1.- Setting up the Development Environment
If you are new to iOS developing the following steps will guide you through the very basics of getting started with apple mobile development.
If you already are an iOS developer and have the development environment set up skip to Create new project. Read more on Apple's developer site:
2.1.1.- Become an iOS Developer
3D Engine applications can not run in the simulator, must be deployed on iOS devices.
You must enroll to the iOS Developer program to deploy applications on iOS devices.
You can enroll here:
2.1.2.- Install Xcode and the iOS SDK
Once you have enrolled in the iOS Developer program, you should have access to the iOS Dev Center.
Go to the Dev Center and download Xcode.
2.1.3.- Set up a Provisioning Profile
- Sign into the iOS Dev Center: http://developer.apple.com/membercenter/
- Go to the iOS Provisioning Portal
- Follow the process to obtain a certificate, assign a device, create an App ID and create a provisioning profile. Use the wildcard character (*) to build and install multiple applications with a single ID.
- Download the provisioning profile you have just created and install it on your computer (double click on it).
2.2.- Installing 3D Render Engine Framework and creating a Hello World
2.2.1.- Create new project
Select Create New Xcode Project from the splash screen (seen below) or file→new→project.. from the menu.
2.2.2.- Choose Single View Application template
It will give us a basic app template, with a single UIView we can add the EAGLView to.
2.2.3.- Fill project details
Make sure use Automatic Reference Counting is selected. Automatic Reference Counting is not mandatory but it makes memory management easier.
2.3.- SDK Files
- 3D Render Engine advanced
- libs/
- 3dEngine.framework
- EADUtilities.framework
- samples/
- Hello3dLite
2.4.- Create and configure the project
2.4.1.- Add the following frameworks
Click on the project icon in the project navigator view, and under Build Phases tab, add each framework by clicking on the + button in the Link Binary With Libraries forum.
- AVFoundation.framework
- Foundation.framework
- UIKit.framework
- CoreMotion.framework
- CoreGraphics.framework
- CoreMedia.framework
- CoreVideo.framework
- OpenGLES.framework
- QuartzCore.framework
2.4.2.- Add the CVSDK (matcher) framework
- Add the 3dEngine framework and EADUtilities (as explained above) from the SDK
- libs/
- 3dEngine.framework
- EADUtilities.framework
Here is how your frameworks folder should look like after you finish:
- On the top of ViewController.h Include the header file EAGLView.h and a class member of type EAGLView:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h> #import <3dEngine/EAGLView.h> @interface ViewController : UIViewController<renderProtocol>{ EAGLView* glView; } @end
- In ViewController.m alloc and init EAGLView in the viewDidLoad method and Set the App Key you received from the registration service in the website.
- (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // Create our OpenGL view. glView = [[EAGLView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds withAppKey:@"--Your API KEY--" withCamera:FPS]; glView.pMainViewController = self; glView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.5f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:0.0f]; // Add it as a subView to the View Controller's view. [self.view addSubview: glView]; // Bring OpenGL view to front. [self.view bringSubviewToFront: glView]; // Register delegate, this is optional. [glView setRenderDelegate:self]; // Start rendering. [glView start]; }
- If you set the render delegate, you must add this method
-(void)frameRendered { // TODO }
- Configure ViewController.m as a file of type: Objective C++ Source.
- Set Portrait Orientation.
2.4.3.- Add data
- Search data folder under the Hello3DLite project and add it into your project with the Folders option: Create folder references for any added folders and with Destination option deselected.
2.5.- How to Run
- Connect a supported device (see 1.1)
- Select the device from the target menu
- Click on the Run button or cmd + r.
2.6.- How to Debug
- After running, make a breakpoint at the wanted line to stop the debugger on runtime.
- To make a breakpoint, click on the left margine of the line and a blue arrow will appear indicating a new breakpoint was made.
- Click on the debug navigation or cmd+5, to browse a list of the breakpoints.
2.7.- How to upload to the AppStore

South Korea could announce in about a week a decision to resume US beef imports based on its inspections of US beef processing plants, an agriculture ministry official said.
South Korea, once the third-largest export market for US beef, agreed in January to resume imports but has delayed implementing its decision several times out of concern over safeguards against mad cow disease at US processing facilities.
South Korea has dispatched a beef plant inspection team to the United States.
"We will hold an experts' meeting this week based on reports of the delegation," said an official at the ministry.
If the reports raise no additional safety issues, Seoul will announce the resumption of US beef imports soon, he said.
South Korea imposed its ban on US beef imports in December 2003 after a reported case of mad cow disease in the United States.
In the agreement not yet implemented, South Korea said it would resume the imports of boneless US beef from cattle less than 30 months old.
Japan, once the leading foreign market for American beef, resumed imports last month. This has increased US pressure on South Korea to allow American beef back into the country.
However, thirty-six South Korean lawmakers sent a letter to President George W. Bush on Monday in which they said the safety of US meat was still in question.
"We would like to urge the US to stop calling for resumption of US beef imports in Korea until the safety of the meat is scientifically proven," the letter said.
The United States once accounted for 68%of South Korea's beef market, or some $850 million worth of products. (Reuters)

So far the only thing that I do not like about T410s is its short battery life. I can only get 2 – 3 hours out of "standard" usage. Hopefully this will improve as I tweak things more.
To Begin With: A Problem
Unfortunately I had a major issue with my T410s recently (November 17, 2010). A few months ago, the LCD started showing a vertical band in which graphics was lost. Fortunately, the issue seems to be fairly prevalent with T410s, which means there was a solution. So, I just got a warranty repair done, which involved replacing the LCD and motherboard. It took exactly two weeks for the whole process using the local Lenovo contractor (in Canada), but now the laptop is fixed. Anyone who got T410s around June 2010 or before should be aware of this LCD issue.
As of November 26, 2010, I decided to reinstall Debian Squeeze from scratch. So this installation note now reflects the nearly stable version of Squeeze installation procedure. Things that did not work before now works from the beginning!
General Hardware Specifications
My Lenovo T410s is 2901-CTO.
|Hardware Components
|Status under Linux
|Intel Core i5 M520 2.4 GHz
|14.1 WXGA+ TFT Display, w/ LED Backlight
|Intel HD Graphics (IT 5700MHD, i5-520M AMT)
|80 GB SSD (INTEL SSDSA1M080G2LE, 2CV102J6, max UDMA/133)
|Integrated Ethernet Card (Intel 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06))
|Wireless Network Card (Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 35))
|Need to download firmware to /lib/firmware.
|Matsushita DVD-RAM Drive (UJ892)
|6 cell Prismatic Battery
|Integrated Sound Card (Intel 3b57 (rev 06))
|Integrated Speaker & Microphone
|Integrated Camera
|Fingerprint Reader
|Not tested
|TrackPoint & TrackPad
|Not fully tested
|Haven't thoroughly tested special keys
Note: Currently my T410s is operating on kernel version 188.8.131.52 from kernel.org which I customized and compiled myself. I don't think is necessary to get the basic things working though. On the other hand, I see some problem with kernel 188.8.131.52. When I do
dmesg, I get numerous "scsi host1: __pm_runtime_resume()!" errors, and sometimes T410s locks up for several seconds. In order to alleviate the problem, I have to boot with kernel option
Why Debian Squeeze?
I have always liked the leanness and stability of Debian, but I admit that I have recently flirted with the idea of migrating to Ubuntu; near the end of Debian release cycle, I have always found myself building from sources various programs for which their Debian versions became obsolete. When I tried, I also liked Ubuntu for its ease of use; I didn't have to do whole a lot of configurations myself to get my old laptop (a Dell Latitude) working. However, it slightly felt like using Windows on a new computer; a lot of software that I don't care to install are bundled with Ubuntu. In the end, I decided to stay with Debian for now, but with Squeeze, still a testing distribution (Nov. 17, 2010).
Installing Debian Squeeze
First of all, make factory recovery disks in case you need to restore factory default. There is little reason to keep Windows 7 around, but it's always a good thing to have a way to restore default setting. In order to do this, launch ThinkVantage and go to Factory Recovery Disks. Check both boot and data. In my case, three blank DVDs were used (one for boot and two for data; it looks like the boot disk only needs to be of very small capacity). After making the disks, it is recommended to test if they work or not by rebooting off the boot disk just created. Mine passed the test and factory reset was completely working. I also updated BIOS to its latest version on Windows to avoid problems later.
Debian Squeeze will soon become the stable distribution, but till that happens I fetched the installer from the testing distribution site, and made a install USB stick, following this article. For this installation note, I use the Beta1 release of Squeeze.
Boot off the USB stick by pressing F12 to start the installation.
Installation Customization Options
Debian installation has gotten easy enough that I don't feel the need for this any more, but just for completeness. Obviously you should customize to your liking. I use a graphical installer here.
- Language: English
- Country, territory or area: (your choice)
- Keyboard layout: USA
- Primary network interface: wlan0 (for wireless network installation, only WEP or manual appears working, for which you specify the wireless key and password perhaps.) or eth0 (wired network installation is often easier)
- Hostname: (your choice)
- Domain name: (your choice)
- Root password: (your choice)
- Full name for the new user: (your choice)
- Username for your account: (your choice)
- Choose a password for the new user: (your choice)
- Select your time zone: (your choice)
- Partitioning method: Manual
I'm not doing dual boot, so my partition scheme is very simple:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 323M 149M 157M 49% /
/dev/sda6 46M 27M 17M 62% /boot
/dev/sda7 4.6G 138M 4.3G 4% /tmp
/dev/sda8 2.8G 1.8G 841M 69% /var
/dev/sda9 5.5G 4.4G 914M 83% /usr
/dev/sda10 6.9G 4.4G 2.2G 67% /usr/local
/dev/sda11 8G Linux Swap
/dev/sda12 46G 19G 26G 43% /home
- Policy for handling keymaps: Select keymap from arch list -> qwerty -> US american -> Standard -> Standard
- Debian archive mirror country: (your choice)
- Participate in the package usage survey: No
- Choose software to install: (I want a fairly minimal install. I only check Laptop.)
- Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record: yes
Reboot and a very simple Debian box is ready!
Post-Install Admin Tweaks
Login as root. First I install a few essential packages for system administration, etc.:
# aptitude install sudo ssh rsync wget wireless-tools
If I need to run 32-bit applications, it is also a good idea to do:
# aptitude install ia32-libs
Setting up sudo
At this point I add myself as an sudoer by adding my regular username to /etc/sudoers, just under the entry for root, giving full admin privileges (i.e., just copy the line for root).
# chmod 640 /etc/sudoers
# emacs -nw /etc/sudoers
... add a regular user to the list ...
# chmod 440 /etc/sudoers
I believe in using
sudo rather than becoming root to do admin tasks.
Setting up APT Sources
It is also a good idea to modify /etc/apt/sources.list now. Mine looks like this:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
As I see, the debian-multimedia.org repository is added. Though this isn't absolutely essential, I may wish to do
# wget http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/debian-multimedia-keyring/debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
# dpkg -i debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb
# aptitude update
in order to avoid GPG error accessing this repository in future.
Setting up DHCP Hostname
Modify /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to have the line:
send host-name "yourcomputershostname";
This way, identify this computer on a router, for example, will be easier.
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300
The built-in kernel for Squeeze (2.6.32) appears to have the driver for this WiFi card, but firmware need to be loaded:
$ sudo aptitude install firmware-iwlwifi
Or alternatively I can download firmware, and manually copy the file iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode to /lib/firmware. For example:
$ wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-6000-ucode-22.214.171.124.tgz
$ tar -xvzf iwlwifi*.tgz
$ sudo cp iwlwifi-6000-ucode-184.108.40.206/iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode /lib/firmware
Either way, WiFi should be working after reboot.
Integrated Webcam
To check if the webcam works, the easiest is to use Kopete on KDE (Menu -> Applications -> Internet -> Kopete). Go to Settings -> Configure -> Video, and see if the preview works.
To install KDE,
# aptitude update
# aptitude install kdebase kdenetwork kmix
# reboot
Upon reboot, the KDM login screen appears.
KDE Network Manager
If I don't see any network manager on the system tray of the bottom bar, click on the system tray (this one is located to the left of the clock by default). Right click -> System Tray Settings -> Plasma Widgets and check Network Management. Try to add a wireless access point.
Suspend and Resume
I have always been a type who turns off computer when not used, but I am now using suspend/resume frequently. Fortunately I have few problems using suspend to RAM/disk on T410s so far.
TrackPoint Scrolling
I can use the red TrackPoint for scrolling as well! There are several ways to do this, but I'm going to use
xinput. If it is not installed, do
$ sudo aptitude install xinput
See what ID is associated with TrackPoint:
$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated Camera id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
The TrackPoint's ID is 13 in my current configuration. Then add the following lines in ~/.xsessionrc:
xinput set-int-prop 13 "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop 13 "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2
xinput set-int-prop 13 "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 8 6 7 4 5
After restarting X, moving TrackPoint while pressing the blue middle button acts as scroll, either vertically or horizontally.
Now that TrackPoint can be used for scrolling, I see little reason to enable TrackPad, as I never use it. It may be a good idea to disable TrackPad in BIOS to save power consumption as well as to prevent accidentally touching it with my hands while typing. Note that after disabling TrackPad, ID (see above) may change, so ~/.xsessionrc may need to be rewritten.
Power Consumption Tips
I now have a separate article for this topic.
snd_pcsp Inturrpts
Under certain conditions (which I cannot always reproduce), the system becomes sluggish after playing sounds off Flash on Firefox, for example, and until KDE restarts, sounds are not working. Looking at the processes with powertop, I found some process using snd_pcsp tends to make frequent interrupts. A solution to this problem is to ensure that the snd_pcsp kernel module gets loaded after snd_hda_intel gets loaded by feeding "index=2" option. Make sure that the file /etc/modprobe.d/snd-pcsp has a line like this:
options snd-pcsp index=2
Installing Applications
Just a list of applications to install on my machine:
- Firefox 4 (beta)
- Dropbox
- Mendeley
- F.lux
- KeePass
- More to come…

Kathy Reiffenstein, founder and President of And...Now Presenting!, is a passionate educator in the art and science of public speaking.

How It's Done
You will notice from our presentation skills course offerings that we use terminology often heard on the acting stage. One of our founding principles is our belief that each time we step in front of a business audience, whether one or 1,000, we step onto the stage and don responsibilities similar to those of the actor.
The intentions of the actor are closely aligned with those of the business presenter. Both inform, entertain, inspire, persuade and even educate the audience. By combining the strategies of effective public speaking with proven techniques from the acting stage, we help participants become presenters who know how to create the *Magic Moment* experience that moves the audience.
Whether you've never presented before a group, need a refresher or simply would benefit from some individual coaching, we offer a selection of presentation skills training programs to suit your particular needs.
Let us turn you and your people into confident, powerful and persuasive presenters.

There are a lot of reasons why you may wish to disable and turn off the annoying Windows Live Mail Skydrive from you personal Windows Live Mail (2010, 2011 and further versions) account. The first thing the average user considers when it comes to getting rid of the useful Microsoft Skydrive web service is privacy. In fact, if you attach a picture or a photo to your email messages, Windows Live Mail will store them to SkyDrive automatically and by default. As a consequence, the recipient will only see small thumbnails. If he wants to see the original picture he will have to download it from SkyDrive. This apparent meaningless behaviour is due to the very nature of the web service itself whose primary goal is to "provide enough free storage for thousands of documents and photos" so that you will be able to share them later with your friends thanks to handy photo albums. The issue is that all your private stuff will be stored online without your consent. Useless to say, a lot of users are against this. So, let's see how to protect our important files and stop the SkyDrive automated behaviour permanently.
Let me tell you that you can not turn off SkyDrive as it is part (feature) of Windows Live Mail. Period. Don't look futher because this is what a Microsoft IT told me. Also, Microsoft didn't provide any proper solution to this issue. The online storage service is on by default and the user can not do anything to disable it. However, in order to stop it from harvesting your private files you can perform the following actions:
- If you want to prevent the Skydrive from collecting your photos (and other files) follow these steps. In Windows Live Mail, click Insert on the Menu bar and insert your pictures, images and photos.

Here's what your property ads in newspapers must have in order
to get the best offer. When Muslims and Christians weren't in good terms, Christian monks believe to have escaped the persecution and found a shelter within the walls of the persecuted tombs and temples of ancient Egypt, but ironically, those monks have ripped many of the reliefs on those tombs because they distracted them from practicing their religion, not to mention that the reliefs represented "fake" religion that they didn't want to be
associated with. It ends when God kills thousands of His Chosen
People with a plague (love those germs) and an earthquake (shake, rattle and roll) as punishment for rumblings in the ranks.

Pope will visit Croatia next year
October 29, 2010
Pope Benedict XVI will travel to Croatia in 2011, authorities in that nation have disclosed.
In their October 29 announcement, Croatian President Ivo Josipovic and Cardinal Josip Bozanic, the president of the nation's episcopal conference, said that the Pontiff will visit Zagreb sometime in the first six months of the coming year. Details for the papal visit have not yet been settled.
The Vatican has not officially confirmed plans for the papal trip. Traditionally the Vatican does not make a formal announcement of a papal voyage until several weeks before it takes place.

Budgets is an Android application that helps you track your spending and keep to a budget. You can easily see your total income and your total expenses for a period, plus which expenses you are spending the most on and which expenses you are going over budget on.
Simple Just what I was looking for. I only use it to budget my monthly expenses, not to keep track of them.
Exactly what I need I give myself $x a month for silly, impulse spending. I tried many many tracking and budgeting apps and they were all WAY more than I wanted or needed and complicated. This is so simple that it's perfect. I plug in my X number for my budget and then, as the month goes on, I plug in my spending and watch X go down until I know that there will be no more impulse spending until next month. I'm using it on my EVO 4G LTE and I love it.
Too Basic If you just want to create a quick place to view your monthly budget without marking items paid on a monthly view basis, this is perfect. Otherwise, keep looking. So far My Economy and basicbudget are WAY better, but even those need a few tweeks.
Simple easy to use Great app it's simple and easy. Of only there was a reoccurring expense and reoccurring income button it would easily be 5 stars
Super This is exactly that I was finding for. The app is very easy to use, without plenty unneeded funcions, and very useful.
Simple. Quick. Perfect! Exactly what i was looking for. Quick and easy to setup and no jumping through categories and what not just to add a transaction.
Manage your personal finances and easily track your money, expenses, budget.

All quotes by Mickey Arthur
(82 quotes found)
"I guess it made our selection poser a little bit easier for us, but unfortunately he (Kemp) is not available for selection. Kallis will slot in at four, the world's best player, he'll bat in a position that he's quite familiar with."
"I guess the final poser will come down to do we play a four-man seam attack or do we play a spinner? It looks a little bit browner than it did yesterday. I think it has dried out quite nicely."
"I think his success comes down in large part to the fact that he had two months off when he left the tour of Australia because of that injury."
"We have borne the brunt again of a dropped catch. The bowlers toiled hard and I can't fault them for that. They tried to take wickets all the time."
"We are always a bat-first team, but the local guys said we could break through on the first morning and that days two and three would be best for batting. Well, we didn't make the breakthrough and batting certainly looked easy today."
"It looks a little bit browner although there is still moisture beneath the surface. I do like going into a Test match with a spinner, to be honest, because it gives you greater options. But conditions must allow for that."

Wilton's Visiting Nurses seek patient support volunteers
Published 3:00 am, Tuesday, January 19, 2016
WILTON — Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County is seeking mature, compassionate individuals from Wilton to serve as patient support volunteers. Patient support volunteers visit homebound adults who may be experiencing loneliness, personal loss, bereavement, life transitions or chronic illness and they provide companionship and counseling for one hour a week.
Those who are interested may register to participate in a three-session training course, scheduled to run Feb. 1-3, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. The training sessions will be held at the offices of Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County Care in Suite 114 at the Health and Wellness Center at I-Park, 761 Main Ave.
"The goal is to help keep homebound patients from feeling isolated. We want to help patients remain active and connected to their communities," said Laurie Petrasanta, volunteer coordinator for Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County. "In most cases, the relationships that develop between patients and volunteers become meaningful, long-lasting friendships."
For more information about the Patient Support Volunteer Program, or to register for the three-session training course, contact Laurie Petrasanta at (203) 834-6341, ext. 316.

Coffeehouse Post
Single Post Permalink
@androidi: This reminds me of a game we used to play in high school instead of counting rhymes (hey, we were grown ups, right?): we took a chronograph and tried to stop it as close as possible to some predetermined time, usually 10 seconds.
That's a highly predictable event, so there's no reaction timing involved, and yet it's quite hard to nail the time exactly (that would have been an error of -5..+5 ms as the cheap digital watches we used only had two decimal digits) and nearly impossible to do that consistently. I would be surprised if anybody could get an average significantly better than the (roughly) 17ms of a 60fps game loop.
If you have a chronograph lying around, you may want to try that.

I worked in an Italian company located in Saudi Arabia. All the experiences I've got there made me a better person. What I am now, and who am I now, somehow, are based on such experiences.
Not all experiences were good, or should I say, there were few experiences which I can consider good. Lots were really a terrible experience.
Dealing with other nationalities was really one of my struggles during my stay. Why? It was difficult. First, I've got to study their cultures, behaviors, and attitudes.
Some were patience, some were kind but lots were really bad ass.
Those who were given a chance to have a good position in the company, they acted as if they were untouchable. It seemed that their heads were disproportion with their bodies. They were so big headed individuals clothed with smelly-junkie rude personalities.
Second, I've got to mingle with them despite our differences. I was really struggling in this part since, I have to be really humble in order to reach out with them.
How can you relate to those guys who were acting as if they know everything where in fact they can even write a single correct sentence. YES! That's true. They wrote an email as if they were just talking.
As a licensed English teacher who even passed in the comprehensive exam in Master of Arts in English Language Teaching, it was really hard for me to swallow the fact that was dealing with these people who can't even use at least three fingers on the keyboard when they are using the computer.
I had a lot of fights, or should I say I had an ample of misunderstandings with them. But then again I managed to stand my grounds and expressed what I believe is true and correct based on the objective facts.
Lastly, I learned a lesson which is very beneficial to me who is working overseas. I worked now in a Spanish company, and I am trying to maintain a low-profile personality.
I don't care if some colleagues would like to bully me or would try to impose themselves on me. What matters most is that, I for one believe, that I am not a fly by night employee.
Modesty aside, my higher education is more than enough to use as a barometer of my professional qualification. But my experiences in the Philippines and abroad would support my claim that I am now a better person.
Humble though I may seem, but my quality of work and my critical thinking would be a living statement of my own BEING.
