Into The Future
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, iheartslFeed, new releases on Sunday, December 30, 2012
A year and a half ago I made some predictions about mesh. Unbelievably, the search feature on my blog found the post for me. Surprising as that widget stopped working well (shall we just call it being "selective"?) after a thousand posts. Who can blame it?
Anyway, as we move into a new year I was thinking about the future -- our virtual one and what it might hold. I haven't reread my precognitive musings in their totality but I do remember that I had a few things right. I did miss two big points. One, the advent of prim breasts (I so don't care and that might have left me unaware of the "need").
The other is definitely more important and something I am basing my NEW predictions on -- the thriftiness of mesh in the land impact equation.
I have the opportunity to view some exceptionally well made mesh up close and personal. I am very grateful. If you read this blog often you have seen mention of the fantastic "prim" savings that can be accomplished by designing -- well let's call it "smart mesh". I am often in awe and definitely thankful for the designers who have worked hard to give us thrifty options.
I just finished a casita today (a tiny New Mexico pueblo style house). It took me eight days of work and many hours logged into the Aditi grid. I learned a ton and I am very pleased with my almost finished product. I made it for myself as I often do, looking back at places I love and forward to the time when I will no longer have a full sim. I do well on a 512; I am adaptable.
My finished house will be weighing in at about 17. That includes numerous small details like hinges and window hardware, about a hundred "sticks" in the walls that surround the patio and a door that took me eight hours (well most of a day anyway) to build. The good thing, aside from the knowledge gained is that this same build would have been about 150 prims in the old days. And of course it would never have looked so good. THAT'S what I didn't understand about the advent of mesh.
So my prediction for the coming year is that mesh will become even more popular as more designers learn how to make "smart mesh" and more consumers see how it can expand their land impact budgets. I am so looking forward to seeing what can be made.
Now what on earth does all this have to do with the photo up top? Well not much really, but I do hate posts with no pretty pictures. And, along with my rousing applause for mesh, I want to say that I still believe there is a place and a market for nicely designed texture clothes. There are some things mesh does well and some things -- not so much. So I won't be throwing out my system clothes any times soon. There are many I am very fond of.
Lady Vane from deviousMind comes in a huge variety of colors. I also noted that Lola appliers are now included -- well of course they are!
I like this shot. It has that Vogue on the Sahara look - LOL. This is a perfect Mardi Gras outfit! Think ahead girls. The mask is to die for!
Wishing you a spectacular new year!

Almost a New Year
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases on Saturday, December 29, 2012
A new year is on its way; that means new beginnings and champagne. I am not sure which I am most fond of. I will enjoy making a new directory on my computer. 2013 has a nice ring to it. I will also enjoy sipping some "captured bubbles" as the calendar turns.
If you plan a party or even just an intimate get together, I have a great prop for you. See all those champagne glasses on the table? There are 18 of them. Are you ready for the drumroll? They weigh in at .5 land impact. That means that you can take two sets of them (36 in all), link them and STILL have only one "prim" :D. Woot!
Those of you that are old enough remember when wine glasses were 3 - 4 prims each depending on their liquid contents. I recall a building class long ago when we made fancy bar drink props. They were 11 - 13 prims each and they so didn't look this good. So here's to a new year and to progress!
You can find the retail version of these glasses at a very low price at Mesh Depot. A single unscripted (but mod) glass is also available. There are three styles to choose from. OR, if you want to design your own and give them out to friends, there is a full perm version on the Marketplace. Either way, I am very impressed. 36 for 1. My, my we have come a long ways.
My party dress is a new release from AD Creations called Ephemeros. The pretty table is from Trompe Loeil and my hair and old gift from Dura.
Ah, I forgot to mention that New Years Eve is also my rez day. An old lady of FIVE will greet 2013. And "no", as some friends suggested I was not bored that evening. I was actually born in the morning. Beyond that I don't remember much. I may have spent my first day in SL hanging out at Calla sitting for hair. Happily I had some friends that knew the ropes so aside from learning how to walk, it was fairly easy. My first skin was one of the Eloh Eliot ones. So many memories.
Have a great New Year! I may see ya again before then or not.

When Is A Prim Not a Prim?
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, iheartslFeed on Tuesday, December 25, 2012
By now most all of us know about Land Impact, the replacement to Prims in our virtual accounting budgets. A 512 starter lot used to come with 117 prims, now it isn't so clear. Do prims still count? Well, sort of. Here's the scoop and my holiday present for those of you that had no clue you may have the option for MORE SHOPPING.
Most of us, even builders, don't pay all that much attention to all the info in the new build menu. Been there, done that, we know what we need to know. But along my mesh learning journey I came across some very interesting info -- not only for builders.
If you edit an object (any one that you can modify for those of you that don't build) you will see that the traditional looking build menu tells you the number of objects selected and the land impact (in the case of my photo the numbers are 1 and 1 and I have a mere 18 "somethings" left to use in my shop.
If you click on the More Info link (in bold to the side of the "Remaining capacity" text) you get an advanced menu that tells you more about the object. In the photo above you can see that the item selected IN THAT MENU says 1 object and 2 prims. But the land capacity only takes away 1. In this case it is because the item is mesh. But wait -- it gets better.
Many of our older prim items can be TURNED INTO Land Impact units from prims. There is a choice under Features in the build menu. The Prim you know. Convex Hull is the default mesh physics shape. "None" hides the item from the server physics-wise, helping your sim run better; it also turns the item phantom as a consequence. This can work for many things, but certainly not all. By changing from Prim to Convex Hull, this street photo prop went from 26 prims to 13 land impact.
Now there is a BIG CAVEAT here. Sometimes changing from prim to convex hull can raise your land impact, costing your more. Not our plan. A friend and I did a fun test this eve and found many things were cut in half accounting wise when changed. Some however increased. So you DEFINITELY need to experiment on a sandbox where there are plenty of prims so that items on your land don't get returned for overwhelming your land capacity. You also want to try this on COPY items and you will of course need MODIFY permissions in order to make the changes.
Sculpts and complex shapes like the torus, are not good candidates for this trick. Scripts count in the land impact equation, but I have no idea about the formula or reasoning. Still, with a bit of work, you might save enough prims to add some new homewares to your environment.
My lead photo illustrates the point that a cube when in convex hull form can ONLY count as .5 land impact. Any two cube shaped prims can be turned into convex hull physic shapes and linked to get ONE prim. So all is not equal in the cubist world these days.
And that is my tip for you for the new year.

A quick post to let you know that there is a plethora of holiday goodness awaiting you at PATRON. Gifts from many shops can be found under the tree. A similar event happened last year and I suspect that the same gifts will be available at many places. All the presents are great and this is just a tiny sampling. There are styles for guys and petites also, some very lovely candelabras, a fun avatar, and an impressive spell hud. Drop by and enjoy the goodness.
And yes, I do realized I am overdressed and ill-matched *wink*.

Last Minute Shopping
Posted by Chic Aeon in comment, design, hair, hunts, iheartslFeed on Sunday, December 23, 2012
We might as well be stylish and in theme for the season. So shopping, design -- and in some cases hunting -- is the focus of this post.
First up, cute new hair from eXxEsS, RAVENNA in this case the cinnamon tone. This looks great from all angles (something as photographers we appreciate). I have to say I am really liking these new styles!
Prim & Pixel Holiday sim on the POE hunt. Last year I got over there and won a weekly photo contest. This year there were too many things tugging at my strings. I did, however take the time to go look for this hunt outfit after I saw the prize photo (well, yeah). It comes with its own boots, a decorated cowboy hat, the sweater, scarf and leggings. AND the Christmas shopping bag (so cute). You still have time to pick this up and carry that bag into your holiday present give away.
Now the traveler's trunk in the background isn't a hunt prize (don't you wish). It was a present from Barnesworth Annubis. I love the trunk and that got me thinking about art and creation.
There aren't all that many designers that stand out as being different. I'm not talking about good craftsmanship, we are very lucky to have so many talented folks that have taken the time to learn about mesh which I am guessing is a very big part of our virtual future. I am speaking of style.
When I was in the fine art game (real life scenario) we were encouraged (well THAT'S putting it lightly) to have our work be so individualized that anyone could pick out a painting as ours. That "in the style of Picasso" thing. BA excels at that artistic edict. There is a look that puts his work in its own genre. I think we as designers should celebrate difference. I for one applaud.
And here is my color coordinated boots shot *wink*. These great winter shoes come from the hunt I mentioned yesterday. Find them at h.m.a.e.m, here. I spotted these in other colors as I was looking for that star; just sayin'.

Reading Notecards
Posted by Chic Aeon in hunts, iheartslFeed, new releases, skins on Saturday, December 22, 2012
With so much going on these days it is easy to miss a great event. Sadly the feeds don't seem to be fulfilling my needs these days. And, some of my favorites are no longer. Still, I have designers that let me on on things; all I need to do is read those notecards *wink*.
There is a new sim hunt going on, a very nice one to boot, over at KV Dream Fashion Agency. Look for the decorated stars and come away with some very nice gifts. Best of all, if you click on the poster at the landing point you are given a preview and SLURL to each of the shops participating. So you can search for things that fit your style. I picked up a couple of goodies but there are many to choose from. If you are planning on celebrating the New Year in a fancy way, you definitely want to stop by.
My outfit is another new release from AD Creations, the notecard with the hunt info was included in the new release pack - yeah! My hair is a new release from Vanity Hair, "Closer". My skin is the new desaturated holiday gift from Adam and Eve.

2013 - The Hunt
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, hunts, iheartslFeed on Friday, December 21, 2012
I ventured out on the New in 2013 Hunt yesterday morn. Lots of nice prizes, most easy to find, some not set for sale at the time I went by :D. So be sure and keep the official web list at hand.
Shown here are a few of the goodies to be discovered. The topping bookcase is from Atooly. The lamps are part of a lamp pack from CIRCA, and my very cute clubbing dress is from 1Hundred.

The Tower
Posted by Chic Aeon in new releases, places on Thursday, December 20, 2012
I haven't been out and about much lately. Just released duds from AD Creations had me yearning for a new locale. I started out in one direction but ended up at The Tower, the December installation by Rebeca Bashly, currently the number one editor pick on the Destination Guide.
As it turns out, my "Fishnet" outfit was quite appropriate; I felt very much like a cross between an archaeologist and and a spelunker as I wandered through the dark walled cubes with mysterious naked figures.
It is an impressive build.

Between Taupe and Gray
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, hair, hunts, iheartslFeed, new releases on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Between taupe and gray there is a special color. I'm not really sure what to name it. Chameleon-like it wanders between warm and cool tones dependent on the light -- and in our cases, the Windlight settings. I am a big fan of this unnamed tone. This post is in its honor.
New releases and a hunt prize mix with old favorites in this minimalist shoot.
The Aksal Skybox Extended - Snowy is from Cheeky Pea. If you missed it at the last SUYS event (sad to see that go) I am hoping it is still at the store. Too many great things to show you and the chocolate cart won this weekend *wink*. This is a calm place. Quiet and introspective it asks for us to stop for a moment and relax. For many of us that would be a well heeded request.
My scarf and leg warmers which do indeed turn to taupe in warmer lighting are a prize from .::IRON CLAW::. on the upcoming New in 2013 Hunt which starts at MIDNIGHT! There are some great looking prizes on that hunt and I am hoping to take it in between work times.
I am very fond of this new hair out from MINA. Slightly messy updos often fit my mood. I was also pleased to see a big list of grays in the color change hud (several huds are available with different "packs" in each). Whether a new addition or something I simply missed before, I chose a medium gray for today. Look for Babette starting the 21st at the DECK. A My Attic release means savings for you and we like that!

If you've been around long enough you may remember that I produced some cameras awhile back. They were very popular. I haven't sold any lately; I am not surprised. The 2009 rezzable prop with tripod weighs in at 44 prims. I mean REALLY!
So as my mesh making skills improved it was obvious that these products needed a makeover. I spent several day designing both hand held and tripod versions; I feel both smarter and accomplished. I am also very pleased with the final land impact count - 1. Yep, ONE for both camera and tripod (linked objects).
During the redesign process I decided it would be a good idea to have the cameras work as wearable attachments that called the poses. While not all that difficult to do, it was something I never got around to learning. Much more usable, I just put them up at my shop (see them up close and personal there) and on the Marketplace.
Now this actually is an ad of sorts, something I rarely do -- but it is also a bit of philosophy. Every once in awhile I get some very nice items from designers that are just too damn primmy. I don't post them because of that. We all need to move forward. If that means taking a month to learn a new (very hard) software program, then it does. If it means changing our design strategies? That too.
There are plenty of items used and still being sold in world that hale from my first days out of the pod. I sometimes cringe when I run into them. Honestly -- red and blue pose balls on furniture? Time to take some steps into the present.
As I was taking vendor photos I noted how quickly I had embraced the new photo tools in the current Firestorm viewer. In some ways it is a bit like going BACK; I seem to remember sliders a year or so ago before those very large and difficult to love Windlight panels appeared. So sometimes the future and the past can come together in a wonderful middle ground.
Meetcha there.

Gifts are out at both AKERUKA and DieselWorks. Pick up this lovely lady skin with your group tag. Group was open for free for a few days and may still be, so check that out. You should get an invite as you TP in. Everyone I know is already a member so testing is tricky :D. There are giant vendors to click, one in the gals side of the store -- one in the guys. One tone and one makeup per gift.
Along with some new holiday gifts, you can pick up all the presents from 2012 at DieselWorks. One is this very nice strolling pose.

OK. This is the second time in not all that many days that Blogger has done a roll-back on my blog and most likely lots of others. I am not happy and I am way too tired to redo the whole post, so sorry. Aside from my entry paragraph it was all gone. So I am going to put in the photos again and the links. That's all I am up for. It was a LONG post and I hope some of you saw it before it disappeared.
I've been working hard of late, learning and such. But I gave myself a reprieve this afternoon and ventured over to a small holiday bizarre where Cheeky Pea has a super cute prop out for ya. I was so impressed with the snowy landscape I took a walk and grabbed some photos. This LOOKS like a photograph and some fancy Photoshop work but in actually it is a raw shot. You just never know.
Necklace from KOSH for Together for Sway.

That View Thing
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases, props, sneak peak on Thursday, December 13, 2012
Barnesworth Anubis has a new skybox out at COLLABOR88. If you were one of the first to visit the venue on the 8th through 12th, you missed it as it hadn't arrived. I suggest you return and take a look!
The star of the show is the view. Now if you read between the lines of my architectural posts you have probably figured out that I am not fond of photographic backdrops for skyboxes; there is something about mixing the real world and the virtual world that often doesn't set well for me. So I was thrilled and totally impressed to see a "real" virtual landscape outside the snowy windowpanes. There is even falling snow.
Lots of nice details add to the ambiance of the interior. People sized bricks (something we rarely see for whatever reason) and a slatted ceiling count as two. Fashionwise, I am wearing a jacket from Nya'S Shop (main store) exclusively for the End of the World Fair (15th). The texturing is very nice and has a realistic leather look. Standard sizing runs true. My boots are oldies but goodies from RedMint and my sweater and jeans hale from PARADISIS.
The skybox comes with a kitchen but there is also a basic version if you have a small lot and are watching your prims. The physics work well -- something as a consumer you rarely notice unless they are not *wink*, but one of the more difficult of mesh tasks to accomplish.
With a large inventory from a group of extremely talented designers, I can get a little jaded. It would be difficult not to become so. But now and then sometime tickles my fancy and this time it is a plate of avocados from Kaerri (main store) available at the End of the World Fair. Nicely done, they make me smile and look quite at home in the minimalist modern kitchen.
I am bookending this post back at the view. Here it is. Honestly, even if you don't need a new house (or perhaps already have your winter home), this makes a terrific background photo prop for the cold season. I am leaving it out at MOSP and will surely be taking some photos there as winter progresses.
The backdrop (no back to save land impact) and trees weigh in at 24.

Wintry Nights and Days
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases on Wednesday, December 12, 2012
I was never much of a snow camper. I remember waking up one morning and having the water bottles INSIDE the tent frozen solid. I do love the outdoors however -- especially the virtual kind where you never really gets too cold or too wet. Cheeky Pea has a new camping set with a variety of fun props suitable for wintry times and on into Spring. Find the Chestnut Winter Camp at COLLABOR88.
One of my favorite pieces is the log with activities. Now most of our real camping blankets aren't this pretty, but we can by stylish -- why not? The log comes with lots of animation choices including activities like roasting marshmallows.
There are two sleeping bag choices -- pink or blue. The sleeping bag adjusts to fit your body when in use and gets realistically flat when you are out cuddling or whatever *wink*. The igloo in back comes in a natural style as shown as well as one decorated with holiday lighting.
Also in the news is this super fun snowman set. The snow people come in three sizes, with or without message changing signs. They really make me smile. Find them at Sway's and don't forget there is an advent event going on there.The snow people come in a variety of colors including multi-color and weigh in at 3 LI.
Also from Sway's the beautifully crafted train set. Two sizes let you use it around a large tree outdoors or a smaller one inside. The wood textures are lovely and look very much like fine polished woods. There are versions with or without sound. I like the little toot now and then. I have often lived by train tracks and like the hominess of the echoing song.
Original mesh. Isn't it wonderful?

Falling Stars and Other End of the World Stuff
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, places, shopping on Tuesday, December 11, 2012
It's coming up on the shortest day of the year. This is good; it means that I can start waking up to lighter skies and save on that light bulb electricity. But this year as the change of seasons roles around, there is a calendar to watch. It reads 2012 and you know what THAT means -- why the End of the World of course.
I used to live an an area that was on the cusp of Survivalists country. My town was definitely more metaphysical than get out the guns, but the impending date was talked about often even though it was many years away. So time flows; here we are -- December 2012.
I am in with the positive thinkers on this. There are many things our world and leaders could rethink in my humble opinion. Starting over at least in spirit could be a good thing. Whatever your thoughts on the date or even if you don't HAVE any beliefs about the possible upcoming changes, you'll want to venture over to the End of the World Fair opening the 15th.
The offerings are definitely varied with some of the vendors really getting into the mood and following the theme :D.
Shown here are two of my personal favorites (don't worry there are more coming), the telescope with three poses -- one a star gazing animation -- from End of Daze Designs (main store); the shooting stars as part of a fantastic particle effect generator. The cosmic display comes with a menu of choices including Armageddon which I haven't tried yet. I am more of a meteor shower gal. The two prim wonder hales from Fotoscope (main store).
My corduroy trench coat complete with leather trim is from Kaithleen's (main store); leggings from SD Wear (main store).
This cute mitten earrings set is brought to you by IMaGE Factory (main store). A necklace and lip piercing are also available.
Along with regular merchandise and some newly made items for the fair (it seems so anyway) there will be specially priced offerings from the merchants. So mark your calendar for the 15th.

More Holiday Cheer

I'm feeling very posh out here in the snow with my First Class chair from Black Tulip at the 2012 RFL Christmas Expo. Bright sun, cool shadows, pretty new snow covered trees (yep, I copied them from the Trompe Loeil cottage set *wink*). The Expo is still going strong with lots of events and plenty of shopping, so if you haven't been over, now's the time.
Also from the Expo is this Julia dress from Sassy! one of the clothing merchants at the event.Very glittery!
I love these earrings, a gift from Purple Moon. Now I am thinking that these were a prize from the Santa Bag. I might be wrong, but it's worth a try. With all those Santa bags you are bound to find something you love. Hair by Vanity Hair, The Hamptons.
I switched gears and dug a cavern in my beachfront so that I could show you this cute dolphin from Oceania Breedables. A great companion, it circles you and swims nicely with an undulating motion. It blows air out its snout now and then.
I also wanted to mention Pet Peddlers who have friends for my dolphin buddy. These are the breeding kind. Their booth is lots of fun to explore and for those of you looking for new adventures, you might want to check out their packs of boy and girl fish and fish food. I have some that I'm saving. Just too busy now to give them the kind of attention any pet needs.

What's in the News?
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, freebies, iheartslFeed, new releases on Sunday, December 9, 2012
What's in the news? Plenty!
First up a little freebie fashion. You can pick up this very cute poncho as a gift from "DEW" at the Winter Market. One size fits all in the unrigged mesh topper. My sweater and jeans are from PARADISIS (sorry, map wont load the LM) and my boots another color of the new release from Serina Lacava.
Now you have likely seen this terrifically cute house (OK, I'll call it adorable since it is.) from Trompe Loeil for COLLABOR88. It comes in four muted tones; I picked the pink version. It is cosy and homey and perfect for a single gal or a couple who doesn't need that 3,000 square foot mansion (I honestly don't get that). Beautifully detailed it comes with optional trees and snowy entrance.
Now the vendor tells me that the complete setting with lovely trees fits on 26 x 26 -- so that means a 1024 lot. But, being a gal who often lives in 512dom, I did a little test and the house itself fits nicely on 16 meters. You could even move the trees in front of the house on a typical 32 x 16 lot. So all good for everyone.
There have been plenty of posts on the OUTSIDE of this house, but I am guessing you'd like to see the interior too. So here it is. A pretty fireplace lots of smallish window with texture change panes (frosty and clear) and stucco walls make this a very comfortable winter abode. See all the details here.
Other COLLABOR88 releases include this Corduroy Loveseat in a variety of colors along with a matching club chair. Change the blanket and pillow colors via a menu. The book stack and phone hale from Black Tulip at the Christmas Expo. I have something really fun from that shop to show you tomorrow.
Last up but certainly not least is this new Bistro Table from Dutchies. Choose your number of diners (alas I am alone this eve) and what you want to partake of. Really fun and new is the SEQUENTIAL choice which serves you courses as times goes on. Wine, dinner and I am now having espresso. Chocolates comes next *wink*. Loads of fun for a group get together and nice even to treat yourself if you are on your own. The table when not in use weighs in at 7 prims.
From the notecard: "The table serves 1, 2, 3 or 4 people, either a la carte or in 4 long looped sequences, with 45 different animations, 40 rezzer scenes and 6 props. You will never play the same animation as one of your guests.
Dinner for 2 ends with holding hands, dinner for 1, 3 or 4 end slightly drunk. "
If you are a social person, this is definitely for you. You'll need 30 prims to rez things for four folks. Not bad at all.

Think positive!
I've had a couple of conversations this week about how important a positive attitude and some visualisation is when it comes to fat loss/body transformation goals. And then this article was delivered to my email inbox. Synchronicity.
This summed up what I've been trying to tell people:
When you're driven by negative thoughts about yourself, you just don't have the raw materials that are necessary to achieve the results you want.
I speak to so many people who really, really hate themselves. They use their before photos as motivation in the worst possible, most negative way. Their self-talk is awful, horrible. They 'punish' themselves for eating "bad" foods by doing hours of exercise (and usually hating every minute of it). I know someone who used to drive herself on at the gym with words like "come on, fat girl, get that blubber moving".
All this makes me really sad, because it's so difficult to help these people. Many of them have deep-rooted problems, but are firmly in denial about them. They think that when they achieve their weight loss goal, they'll be happy, but the ones who get there are surprised to find that they still feel bad about themselves, still have the same problems as when they were overweight. And they still deal with those problems the only way they've ever known - with food. So in most cases, they regain the weight and find themselves stuck in a yo-yo pattern of weight loss/weight gain, never really achieving what they think they want.
What's the answer? I don't have it (except maybe to recommend a good therapist). All I can do is to point people in the direction of some books or articles or programs that include goal-setting and visualisation, and preferably journalling. And some exercises to promote positive thinking.
Tom Venuto writes some good stuff on the subject, if anyone's looking for somewhere to start.

The CRTC has actually momentarily remembered that its job isn't to rubber-stamp requests from the big telecoms: It has squashed Bell's plan to buy Astral and thus control a massive share of the telecom market:
"BCE failed to persuade us the deal would benefit Canadians," said chairman Jean-Pierre Blais, who took over the post earlier this year and has quickly put a populist stamp on the regulator. "It would have placed significant market power in the hands of one of the country's largest media companies. We could not have ensured a robust Canadian broadcasting system without imposing extensive and intrusive safeguards, which would have been to the detriment of the entire industry."
Anglos are breathing a sign of relief because this will save TSN 690, Montreal's English-language sports radio station (and official home of the Habs, when the NHL isn't on lockout). Rival media conglomerate Quebecor is breathing a sigh of relief, because its dominance in the francophone market won't be challenged by a Bell/Astral giant.
But there's a bigger issue here, and one that should be of interest to all Canadians who are concerned about the extreme amount of media consolidation that we've witnessed in our country over the past couple of decades. When two or three companies are allowed to control both the media and the messaging via television, radio, newspapers, digital and mobile channels, we all suffer. Just about every Canadian has a nightmare story about one of the telecom giants (and Bell figures at the top of most of those nightmare story lists). Canadians already pay the highest cell phone rates in the world, and that's only getting worse due to the lack of competition in the marketplace. The telecoms are all working hard to produce exclusive content, and are licensing it to their rivals for high costs. The limited choice in television service offerings is leading many Canadians to simply pull the plug rather than put up with poor service and content offerings for high prices.
Canadians are fed up. And plenty of them spoke up at the CRTC hearings. There were 9,700 interventions filed, and while many of them were from rival media conglomerates such as Rogers, plenty of others were from the general public. They were standing up to say that having one company in charge of nearly half of what we see, hear, read and watch isn't in anyone's best interest.
I've been really hard on the CRTC in the past for being in the pockets of the telecom companies and shirking its mandate to protect the consumer. Thanks to this decision, I have to issue this blog's first-ever kudos to the CRTC. It's a step in the right direction. Keep it up.

The Cubs seem to spring to life in the ninth inning today, unfortunately poor at bats from Starlin Castro and Josh Vitters brought a would be rally to a grinding halt. Trailing 7-3 heading into the ninth inning the Cubs strung together four straight hits which resulted in two quick runs but that's as far as it would get. With runners at second and third, trailing by two with nobody out, Castro and Vitters both struck out and looked bad in doing so, and the Cubs inched closer to the 100 loss mark. Chris Volstad was Chris Volstad bad today as he could only last for three innings giving up seven runs on ten hits while walking none and striking out none, with the loss he falls to 3-11 on the season. The Cubs were actually uncharacteristically clutch, I mean not counting the ninth inning. The Cubs pounded out 13 hits, and were 5-for-12 with runners in scoring position, but still managed to leave 11 guys on base. Anthony Rizzo snapped out of a mini funk by going 3-for-3 with his 15th home run of the season, two RBI's, two walks, and a run scored. Alfonso Soriano added to his career high RBI total in this one as well, registering an RBI double in the ninth inning to give him 106 for the season. The Cubs now head to Arizona where they will meet the Diamondbacks and possibly 100 losses.

IDF Intel's upcoming 'Conroe'-based Pentium processor, the E1040, will be supported with its own 945-series chipset, reports coming out of Taiwan claim. The part will also be pitched to customer who buy the Core 2 Duo E4000 line.
Like the Pentium E1040, the 945GC chipset is due to ship in Q1 2007. It will support a maximum frontside bus speed of 800MHz and provide a PCI Express x16 slot for add-on graphics. At the 'G' in the model number suggests, the 945GC is an integrated part. It has Intel's previous-generation GMA 950 graphics core on board.
The 945GC will support dual-channel memory configurations, but only one DIMM per channel for a total memory capacity of 2GB. The chipset can take DDR 2 memory clocked at up to 667MHz.
The new chipset's feature set slots it neatly between Intel's existing 945GZ and 945G chipsets - the former has the same memory configuration but no PCI-E x16 slot, while the 945G has the graphic card connector support but ups the maximum RAM to 4GB.
The 1.6GHz single-core E1040 is expected to be followed in Q2 2007 but the 1.4GHz E1020 and the 1.8GHz E1060. All three will contain 1MB of L2 cache. Apart from the Execute Disable Bit and 64-bit addressing, the E1040 will support none of Intel's trademark technologies - so no VT, no HT and no Enhanced SpeedStep. The chip's not certified for Viiv or vPro usage. ®

SSG at SXSW
Second Story Garage hosts Quentin Young and Ashley Dean will be in Austin checking out Colorado artists through SXSW. Follow their coverage at secondstorygarage.com, on Twitter at @QYoungTC and @AshaleyJill and at facebook.com/SecondStoryGarage.
The Big Freedia circle is hard to miss.
Freedia, a man whose stage persona is female, dresses outrageously. One of his bandmates has an orange-blonde mohawk. They twerk.
That's what they were doing when Second Story Garage spotted them on Sixth Street in Austin, Tex., during the South by Southwest music showcase on Tuesday.
Second Story Garage caught Big Freedia during SXSW 2013, and it was one if the best shows of the showcase that year. She's one of the hundreds of artists performing during this year's showcase, which started Tuesday and runs through Sunday.
Second Story Garage hosts Ashley Dean and Quentin Young headed down to Austin on Tuesday. SXSW is one of the largest annual music events in the world. Music professionals are everywhere, and artists travel from all over the world hoping to get discovered — or just to make new friends and be a part of the SXSW madness. Many of those artists are from Colorado.
Downtown Austin on Tuesday night was a riot of sound. Scores of bands were performing in Sixth Street's countless venues, and hundreds of people swarmed the street, which was cordoned off for the occasion.
Colorado organizers, such as the Denver Post's Reverb, CPR OpenAir, SpokesBuzz and Oskar Blues, have their own showcases planned for later in the week. Second Story Garage will be there checking out Wheelchair Sports Camp, The Epilogues, Grant Farm, Gungor, Inner Oceans and more.
The Yawpers are down here, too, though singer Nate Cook has Tweeted that he had a serious case of the flu and had to go to the emergency room.

When you think of a webinar, what comes to mind? It depends on who you are. It might be an online meeting with other office branches, a training session, a sales and marketing presentation, or an interactive classroom. Either way, webinars have become commonplace in our ever-changing society. There are so many great ways to utilize a great communication tool like a webinar, and those ways are better when they are free!
Being the "new kid" on the web, we at Freebinar feel that it is vital to know what our consumers think of our service, and what industry they are using it for. We decided to draft a survey to truly get a feel of our current demographic and their needs. What we found was both surprising and exciting.
According to our survey, 44.4% of our customers are utilizing the free platform for training and educational purposes. Marketing and sales follows closely behind at 33.3%. This was surprising to me, considering how often I see webinars utilized in the sales and marketing realm. Online teaching and training, however, have been gaining momentum in the last few years. Today, human resources programs have been known to bring on-the-job training online, and virtually every college institution has online course opportunities.
You do not need to be a college professor or HR administrator to conduct lessons online; anyone can use webinars to train and teach—to large or small groups. Tools that are useful in educational webinars include screen sharing (this can encompass anything on your screen, like PowerPoint slides) Q&A-style chat, survey and polling capabilities, registration tools, voice communication through phone conferencing, and so forth. These features can be found on Freebinar.com.
eLearn Magazine posted an article by Jo-Ann Driscoll, all about online training—equipped with tips on how to get started. The article is titled "Designing and Delivering Live, Online Training," and answers many common questions regarding online education. She ultimately states that it is not difficult to move to live, online training from a physical classroom environment.
Ken Molay, president of Webinar Success, and blog-master of The Webinar Blog, is a firm believer in moving training courses to the web. He recently held his own webinar dedicated to this subject matter, where he addressed advantages and disadvantages of educational webinars versus local training, how to benefit from web conferencing, what types of training does and does not work best in webinars, and the best way to interact with online students. Molay's webinar took place earlier this month, but his blog consistently provides useful tips and commentary on the subject of webinars and their successful implementation.
If you are considering conducting training or lessons online, you may be pleasantly surprised with an increase in student enrollment due to the flexibility of the given course. It is an avenue definitely worth exploring, and will save money in the long run. You won't only save money for choosing a free platform like Freebinar, but you will ultimately save money by not having a need to secure a classroom or space, provide tangible materials, or travel!

It is well known that on any compact Riemannian symmetric space $X$, the eigenvalues of the Laplacian have very high multiplicity (comparable with the Weyl bound), and the resulting actions $\operatorname{Isom}(X)\to \operatorname{SO}(W_\lambda)$ for eigenspaces $W_\lambda$ give many representations of the Lie group $\operatorname{Isom}(X)$.
Suppose one has an unknown compact Riemannian manifold $X$ ($n=\dim X$), but where the eigenspaces of the Laplacian have large dimension (I don't have a precise definition of "large" here; the weakest definition would probably be something like $\dim W_\lambda>1$ for infinitely many $\lambda$. I'd be happy even with a much stronger assumption, say $\dim W_\lambda$ is at least $\epsilon$ times the Weyl bound $\operatorname{const}\cdot\lambda^{(n-1)/2}$ infinitely often). Can one conclude that $X$ is a symmetric space, or close to one in some sense?
EDIT: I would be interested in any result which takes as a hypothesis some assumption of large multiplicity in the Laplace spectrum, and whose conclusion is some sort of symmetry of the underlying manifold.

Honey Boo Boo has at least one celebrity fan who "redneck-ognizes" her skills: Rosie O'Donnell.
The comedienne tells People she loves the Thompson family so much that she wants to buy them a new home.
"I love Mama June. I love Sugar Bear. I love Chubbs," she said, calling the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo stars by their nicknames on the show. "I'd love to meet them and buy them a house."
Of Honey Boo Boo herself — 7-year-old Alana Thompson — O'Donnell had high praise: She compared the precocious beauty pageant contestant to another legendary child star. "She is like Shirley Temple," O'Donnell said. "She has a presence and an intellect that goes way beyond her years. Some of the stuff that she says and she comes up with ... I don't know."
What do you think of Honey Boo Boo? Watch our interview with her below:

I am always browsing workwear like jackets and work dresses online. I seem to only have two extremes. Work clothes or track pants and PJs! I desperately need a black jacket and black closed toe heels but I always get distracted by colourful work heels and seem to be drawn to a lot of blue suit jackets. These are my picks for a work day. What do you think?
I am not sure if it is my having an enabler Mum or because she used to work for a global and international brand that I expect clothes to be cheap. Well most of the times it was free back then! And we would only splash out (A LOT) on shoes and handbags. Because of that I cringe if I click on sale automatically if I am browsing for clothing. For handbags and shoes, never ever .. if it was on sale, it was a bonus. There is a reason why every Asian Louis Vuitton and Chanel has a queue outside, us Chinese we love the brands.
If you know me at work and you are reading this, yes I wear Temt and Target to work. Bet you thought it was Cue. The blue studded detail top had caught my eye for some reason, but I am not sure on the sheer. Let me know if I look like mutton as lamb in this number, as you can tell from my latest Hall of shame post I have a anti-mesh stance. The military jacket is on the website for $30!! I was thinking to myself that I need a black jacket as most of mine are blue!
I went to David Jones recently and tried on the Ferragamo Carla heels. Lucky I did as I found out that I am size 6.5 not 7 as I earlier thought. Another suddenly realisation that I do not have closed toe black shoes. I just got stuck into a peep-toe thing for many years ok! So this is on my next to buy list. Please Shopbop gimme a code soon kthxbai? The Miu Miu Bow bag that Mum gave me last year is still unused. Yes yes yes.. it's expensive ok I will use it! And the cute earrings are from Alannah Hill which you might likey too. Also comes with a pink centre.
Let me know what you think and if you like the Lingy Style files! Hate it? Tell me and I'll go back to Claw pics!

It's Money That Matters
Yes, Rick Warren actually tweeted that. And begun the pile-on has: here, as well as here; here, and here, just to name four. Most of those are with either analyses of the statement (no, it is neither true nor correct) or with references to Scripture (probably someone somewhere has even reached to the "10 Commandments" to say something about bearing false witness, i.e., telling lies).
I would prefer only to point out that Warren retracted this tweet. Not, apparently, because he saw the light and realized the inhumanity and stupidity of what he said; but rather, because it embarrassed him. Perhaps he didn't like being reminded that people matter more than things and ideas; perhaps he realized he stood as exposed and malevolent as Ebenezer Scrooge declaring the poor should die and decrease the surplus population. I don't know that he realized the life his Lord and Savior led, or who he lived among on this earth, or he'd never had typed that tweet in the first place.
And I'd rather not respond with more scriptures. A), that's been done; B) it smacks of prooftexting; and C), I prefer the words of St. Basil and St. Ambrose, who more directly addresses Warren's particular sin:
"What keeps you from giving now? Isn't the poor person there? Aren't your own warehouses full? Isn't the reward promised? The command is clear: the hungry person is dying now, the naked person is freezing now, the person in debt is beaten now-and you want to wait until tomorrow? "I'm not doing any harm," you say. "I just want to keep what I own, that's all." You own! You are like someone who sits down in a theater and keeps everyone else away, saying that what is there for everyone's use is your own. . . . If everyone took only what they needed and gave the rest to those in need, there would be no such thing as rich and poor. After all, didn't you come into life naked, and won't you return naked to the earth?
"The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry person; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the person who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the person with no shoes; the money which you put in the bank belongs to the poor. You do wrong to everyone you could help, but fail to help."
4th Century
"The large rooms of which you are so proud are in fact your shame. They are big enough to hold crowds--and also big enough to shut out the voices of the poor....There is your sister or brother, naked, crying! And you stand confused over the choice of an attractive floor covering."
4th Century
17 centuries later, and it's a lesson we still struggle to learn.
UPDATE: Rick Warren has not only removed the tweet, but tweeted again to acknowledge "it did sound mean." Which is a lovely use of the passive voice and a masterful misdirection: Rick Warren didn't say the poor don't pay taxes and would love to see the rich taxed! The tweet did! And it was mean! Not wrong, ignorant, or cruel; not directly contradictory to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth! No. It was just "mean." No, wait; let me be accurate. The tweet wasn't "mean." It "sounded mean."
Silly me, I didn't even know tweets had voices. I thought they were messages created by real people. Tweets are alive! Or at least, they are independent of their creators.
Well...that's okay, then. Mean ol' tweet. Good thing Rick Warren had no responsibility for it. He's not mean! He said so.

Legislation introduced this month would allow state law-enforcement agents to disregard federal law relating to gun regulations and make it a first-degree felony if officers in Ohio enforced a federal ban on assault weapons.
Legislation introduced this month would allow state law-enforcement agents to disregard federal law relating to gun regulations and make it a first-degree felony if officers in Ohio enforced a federal ban on assault weapons.
�Our state has to push back on Washington policies that clearly infringe upon the Constitution,� said Sen. Kris Jordan, R-Delaware. �We need to stand strong at the state level.�He said he hopes the bill is more than just a political statement and that it becomes law, which he says is possible because of support he has received from other senators and the Buckeye State Sheriffs� Association.
The association is speaking out against proposed gun regulations from Washington, and one sheriff has said he would not enforce federal law related to guns.
President Barack Obama has called for a ban on military-style assault weapons, more information in the nation�s background-check system, and incentives for states to share information with the federal government, among other proposals.
The plan was put together after the December school shooting in Connecticut where 20 children and 6 adults were killed. The Buckeye State Sheriffs� Association opposes new state or federal laws that would result in citizens losing any type of firearm � even assault weapons, said Robert Cornwell, executive director of the association.
Hancock County Sheriff Mike Heldman wrote a letter to Obama this month that read: �Any edict, regulation, or so-called �federal law� which infringes on the right of the citizens of Hancock County to keep and bear arms for their security will not be tolerated, recognized or enforced by me or my office.�
Jordan�s bill would attempt to make Heldman�s proposal to Obama legal.
But because of the supremacy clause in the U.S. Constitution, which says state law ought not to supersede federal law, the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio opposes the bill.
Mike Weinman, director of government affairs for the FOP, said the bill is �grandstanding� and blatantly unconstitutional. Recognizing that Jordan plans to send a message to Washington with his bill, Weinman said his efforts would be more appropriate as a senate resolution.
�It�s designed to invoke controversy than address any pending issue,� Weinman said.
Joshua Jamerson is a fellow in Ohio University�s E.W. Scripps School of Journalism Statehouse News Bureau.

New Movies
There have not been any new movies in the last 2 to 3 months. I am very disappointed in this.
Dear CM,
I'm sorry if you have not found new titles that look interesting to you. I can assure you that between 70 and 130 movies are ordered for the library each month, including feature, documentary, Children's, blu-ray and nonfiction titles. Please feel free to make recommendations for purchases at the AV desk. OR, on the library's website, under Common Tasks, there is a link to Suggest a book or other item for the library to purchase.
Perhaps the very best titles were checked out when you visited. There's a sign posted on the AV Desk each month listing all the new movie acquisitions and this list can be emailed to if you like! On the library website, on the left side, there's a link to Subscribe to Library News. Simply enter an email address and then choose which lists or newsletters you'd be interested in receiving. Then you'll be sure to know about all the latest movies the library has to offer, even if they're checked out.

For some time, I`ve been using Cheat Engine to cheat on games, its pretty fun .
This program is modifying memory addresses, like health, money etc.
Anyway I became curious about it, I searched on google about how it works, and stuff like that. But I wasn`t able to find anything. The only thing I know about it, it`s that it has to do with pointers ...
The memory addresses are shown in HEX. If I`d want to make my own cheat engine, would I have to use HEX in my code too ? If so, how ?
I`m very confused and I appreciate every piece of knowledge... So if you got any idea, please post it here ...
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I`m not English ( nor American ), therefore, I guess I made some mistakes in my post. Please let me know if you spot any, so that I can correct myself right away.
Thank you very much, in advance, again !

A Guide to the Reading Wood Black Papers, 1847-1892, 1934
Biographical Note
Reading Wood Black (1830-1867) of Uvalde, Texas, was alandowner and merchant at the head of the Leon River, a commissioner to the Comanche and Kickapoo Indians, and a member of the Texas Legislature (1866). His opposition to treatment of German settlers by Confederate soldiers caused him to flee as a refugee to Mexico during the Civil War. Tom Wall killed Black, who had aroused local resentment by his Unionism and attempts to found a Loyal Union League in Uvalde.
Scope and Contents
Papers of Black include correspondence, diaries, business papers, legal papers, obituaries, and photographs of Black and his family and contain information on his activities as landowner, Indian commissioner, refugee, and legislator. Family papers include correspondence between Mary Wills and Jane Black after Black's murder.

iOS 8 and Mac OS X Yosemite: All the Features You May Not Know
While Tim Cook's WWDC keynote on Monday failed to deliver any of the hardware some WWDC attendees had hoped for, it packed the event with a wealth of major software announcements.
In fact, CEO Tim Cook and senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi had so much software news to present that some of the details were either delivered too quickly for attendees to process — or are only just becoming apparent now that developers have their hands on the beta versions.
See also: 'Superman' Gave 70% of the Apple Keynote
We looked into the dozens of new features packed into both OS X Yosemite and iOS 8, and compiled a list of the more interesting tweaks that weren't prominently highlighted during yesterday's presentation.
iOS 8
Safari Desktop Option In iOS 8, the browser will give you an option to see the desktop version of a website instead of the mobile version, a handy tool already found on the iOS version of the Chrome browser.
Wi-Fi Calling T-Mobile has confirmed that the ability to make calls over Wi-Fi only — even if you don't have a cell signal — will be enabled on devices running the iOS 8 update.
Camera App In iOS 8, after you tap the screen to set the focus in the Camera app, you'll also have the ability to adjust exposure using a tiny slider right next to the onscreen focus icon. The updated app also includes a self-timer option, allowing you to put yourself in the photos you're taking, as well as a time lapse option that delivers a high speed compliment to the existing Slo-Mo option. Photo App In the sharing panel in the Photo app you'll be able to rearrange or disable the app icons and rearrange the activities icons (such as Copy, slideshow, Assign Contact). Also, the Panorama photo option will also be available on the iPad.
Siri The updated version of Siri will integrate Shazam music recognition, giving you the ability to hear a piece of music and say "What song is this?" and get an accurate answer. After Siri delivers the answer, you're also presented with a "buy" button, allowing you to purchase the song on iTunes.
And in case you missed it, Siri will offer hands-free functionality — all you need to do to bring the assistant up in iOS8 is to say "hey, Siri."
Messages In Messages you'll have the ability to set how long you want to save your messages: forever, 30 days or one year.
Accessibility The update will give users the ability to apply a greyscale effect to the entire phone in the Accessibility panel. Currently, the closest equivalent is the "Reduce White Point" option. Zooming has been enhanced by a magnifying glass option — one that effectively gives you a resizable virtual loupe you'll be able to move across the screen.
Battery Usage The updated OS will be able to show you your current battery usage by individual app. The amount of energy being used by each app is represented in number percentages. Battery hogs beware.
Virtual Currencies Welcome Although Bitcoin isn't specifically mentioned, Apple's updated developer guidelines indicate that it plans to offer support for virtual currencies: "Apps may facilitate transmission of approved virtual currencies provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions."
Location-Based App Suggestions Several users have reported that in iOS 8, when you have Location Services enabled, apps on your phone will be suggested on the lock screen via a tiny translucent version of the app logo. For example, if you're near a Starbucks the company's app may show up on your lock screen as an option.
OS X Yosemite
Bing Takes Over Spotlight The new version of Spotlight offers web search suggestions from Bing as the default instead of Google, yet another subtle slap at Google as Apple continues to divest itself of the search giant's influence. Despite the fact that Google results still showed up in the iOS 8 version of Spotlight at WWDC, a Microsoft spokesperson told SearchEngineland that Bing will be "the default web search provider in the redesigned Spotlight search feature for the next generation of iOS and OS X."
Safari The new OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 has added Duck Duck Go, the upstart search engine touted for its privacy features, as an option for searching in Safari.
The Bad News
Unfortunately, the iOS 8 update won't be available to all: Owners of the iPhone 4 or earlier won't be able to take advantage of the iOS 8 update. The new software is only available for iPhone 4s/5/5c/5s, the iPod touch 5th generation, and iPads going all the way back to iPad 2.

Summary Report
Western Hemisphere Convention
The Convention on Nature Protection and Wildlife Preservation in the Western Hemisphere set the stage for the Fish and Wildlife Service's dedication to international wildlife conservation. In 1940 the U.S., along with 22 other American countries, signed the Convention and agreed to develop natural parks and provide technical training as a method to conserve native species and their habitats.
In 1988, the Department of the Interior received congressional funding to implement provisions of the Convention. This funding allowed the Service to provide grants and technical assistance within the Convention's signatory states. Additionally, through the Convention the Service has trained natural resource managers from multiple western hemisphere nations.

Typography is one of the easiest super important parts of civilization to take for granted. It seems like it just sprouted where it is, weed-like. But an enormous amount of effort goes into every letter—here's a visual tour.
PBS' little sprint through contemporary typography highlights several important bigwigs—perhaps most notably Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones, whose work you've very likely looked at without knowing it. These people exist to make signs and sentences both beautiful and effective, and they're damn good at it. [via Laughing Squid]

Quand la technologie nous fait rêver : Fujitsu invente l'écran tactile sans écran
|Aucun réel rapport avec la cybercriminalité et la protection des données personnelles, mais je ne peux rester insensible, lorsque la technologie m'impressionne. C'est une forme de morceau choisi de la technologie que j'avais envie de partager, avec vous : un écran tactile… sans écran, le papier tactile !
Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a next generation user interface which can accurately detect the users finger and what it is touching, creating an interactive touchscreen-like system, using objects in the real word.
"We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn't use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology."
Using this technology, information can be imported from a document as data, by selecting the necessary parts with your finger.
This technology measures the shape of real-world objects, and automatically adjusts the coordinate systems for the camera, projector, and real world. In this way, it can coordinate the display with touching, not only for flat surfaces like tables and paper, but also for the curved surfaces of objects such as books.
"Until now, gesturing has often been used to operate PCs and other devices. But with this interface, we're not operating a PC, but touching actual objects directly, and combining them with ICT equipment."
"The system is designed not to react when you make ordinary motions on a table. It can be operated when you point with one finger. What this means is, the system serves as an interface combining analog operations and digital devices."
To detect touch accurately, the system needs to detect fingertip height accurately. In particular, with the low-resolution camera used here (320 x 180), if fingertip detection is off by a single pixel, the height changes by 1 cm. So, the system requires technology for recognizing fingertips with high precision.
"Using a low-res webcam gives a fuzzy picture, but the system calculates 3D positions with high precision, by compensating through image processing."
This system also includes technology for controlling color and brightness, in line with the ambient light, and correcting for individual differences in hand color. In this way, it can identify fingertips consistently, with little influence from the environment or individual differences.
Also, in situations that don't use touch, the system can be operated by gesturing. In this demo, when you move your fist, you can manipulate the viewpoint for 3D CAD data. So, there could be applications for this touch system by combining it with current gesture systems.
"For example, we think this system could be used to show detailed information at a travel agent's counter, or when you need to fill in forms at City Hall."
"We aim to develop a commercial version of this system by fiscal 2014. It's still at the demonstration level, so it's not been used in actual settings. Next, we'd like to get people to use it for actual tasks, see what issues arise, and evaluate usability. We want to reflect such feedback in this system."
Après cette lecture, quel est votre avis ?

�Finding Nemo 3D� G � In 2003, The Family Filmgoer suggested �Finding Nemo� was fine for kids 6 and older. This is still her opinion, but parents need to be mindful of kids getting too scared and perhaps needing reassurance or a lobby break when seeing the story in 3-D on a giant screen.
The fable is unchanged: A timid orange-and-white clownfish, Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks), travels many hundreds of miles through the Great Barrier Reef and all the way to Sydney Harbour to rescue his little son, Nemo (Alexander Gould), who was captured in a net after disobeying his dad and venturing too far out on his first day of school.
A sweet but forgetful blue tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) joins Marlin on his journey. They learn that little Nemo was probably taken to Sydney. They ride the current with surfin� sea turtles, they�re helped by a whale who blasts them out its blow hole, aided and sometimes stalked by sharks trying to swear off fish-eating, and guided by a busybody pelican.
The film cuts between Marlin�s and Dory�s travels and little Nemo, imprisoned in a dentist�s office aquarium, and very sad. A tough old fish named Gill (Willem Dafoe) urges Nemo to plan an escape through the aquarium filter before he�s given as a gift to the dentist�s bratty, fish-killing niece (LuLu Ebeling).
In 3-D, the shark�s huge gaping grin, with rows of teeth behind it, is scarier, but the stinging jellyfish, the coral and the creatures under the sea and above it are more beautiful.
The movie is preceded by a funny Pixar short, �Partysaurus Rex,� in which bathtub toys, plus some of the �Toy Story� characters, are partying in a bathtub that overflows.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The 3-D actually increases the emotions in the film � the sense of loss and danger and even sadness. In a prologue, we see how Marlin lost Nemo�s mom and all her newly laid eggs � except for Nemo�s � to a hungry shark. This explains why Marlin has been so overprotective and crystallizes a theme about parents learning to let go. Dory�s short-term memory loss is played for comedy, but is also sad.
�The Words� PG-13 � A struggling writer, unsure of his talent, finds a manuscript and passes it off as his own in �The Words.� Questions of artistic and personal ethics weave through narratives-within-narratives in this initially intriguing film, which never strikes emotional or intellectual gold.
Literary-minded high-school and college students may be drawn to it, though, with its attractive cast and brainy premise, even if they come away feeling slightly cheated. Middle-schoolers may find it tedious.
The film starts with a successful author (Dennis Quaid) doing a reading from his newest book. We enter the story he tells, about a young writer, Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper), who lives with his college sweetheart Dora (Zoe Saldana) and can�t seem to sell his work. He finally gets a lowly day job at a literary agency.
On a trip to Paris, Dora buys him an antique briefcase. In it Rory discovers an old manuscript that he loves so much he types it into his computer, just to feel the words go through him, as the narrator says. Dora reads it and thinks it�s genius. Rory can�t tell her the truth.
The book is published and becomes a hit. One day, an elderly man (Jeremy Irons) confronts Rory and claims authorship. We then enter the old man�s tale: A young GI (Ben Barnes) in Paris, circa 1945, falls in love with a girl (Nora Arnezeder), marries her, loses a child, then turns his pain into a novel, which is lost.
The third thread focuses on Quaid�s storyteller, but the three stories never weave into a tapestry.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The film earns its PG-13 with steamy but nonexplicit sexual situations between lovers who eventually become married couples. The subplot about the death of a baby is upsetting, but an important narrative turn. Characters drink wine and smoke cigarettes. The dialogue includes occasional moderate profanity.
�The Possession� PG-13 � Despite its moderate PG-13 rating, this thriller about a 10-year-old girl possessed by a demon could prove too intense for many middle-schoolers. It�s not that the depictions are so graphic � it is the looming creepiness factor, which the film successfully conjures.
In the prologue, an older woman tries to destroy a mysterious carved wooden box, which seems to emit voices. Invisible forces toss and twist her and she is badly hurt.
�The Possession� then recounts what ensues after a little girl named Em (Natasha Calis) buys the box at a yard sale with her recently divorced dad, Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Alone with the box, Em opens it, and finds dead birds, dried moths and a ring.
Her bubbly personality darkens. She stabs her dad in the hand with a fork, and attacks a schoolmate who tries to look at the box. At first her mother (Kyra Sedgwick), dad and teachers assume she�s just reacting to her parents� split. But after Clyde slaps Em without wanting to, as if forced, he starts to suspect supernatural forces.
A professor tells Clyde the box is an antique � used by certain ultra-Orthodox Jewish sects since medieval times to capture evil spirits. Clyde consults a Hasidic rabbi, whose son (Hasidic reggae star Matisyahu) performs an exorcism.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Creepy images abound � strange black moths fly out of little Em�s mouth, fill her room and terrorize her father and sister. Sometimes Em�s eyes roll back and her throat emits a low growling voice. Looking in a mirror, she sees a hand deep inside her throat. The dialogue includes occasional profanity. Some may be uncomfortable at the idea of Jewish lore being mined � and perhaps distorted � for a horror film.

Today, I have was looking through the list of my subscribers to the newsletter. I was checking out where people hear about the site and such. Also, love looking at the locations of the subscribers. I have members all over the United States of course, a few friends as members here in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia, Canada, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Australia. I know where all these places are. Easy geography. Then well, I came across one recent addition in the country of Mauritius. That's when I had to head over to The World Fact Book to find out where exactly this place was. I found out that it is in Southern Africa, an island in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. Wow. This ranks right up there with the member in Crete.
I am not bragging. I am bringing this up to make a point. Country music is an international love. There are fans of the music everywhere. It is amazing that something that is thought of an such an American tradition is truly loved all over the world. It is always said that music is an international language. I agree. I have always thought of country music being fairly regional though in the vast world. The U.S., some in Canada, the UK, and Australia. However, I am learning in my 11 years of writing that this isn't the case.
It makes me so proud to be a country music fan and even more privileged to be able to spread the word of county music in my writings all over the world.
If you are a country music fan and read this blog, I also invite you to visit my website and join the newsletter. The website, this blog, and especially the newsletter is free of charge. The website is http://www.countrymusicalive.com
