I was hoping the Hitachi DZ-HS550A Hybrid was the ultimate "all in one" still-DVD-hard drive camera. 30GB hard drive, 30x optical zoom and 1500 digital zoom. WOW!! Out of the box it looked great. Immediately it fits perfectly in your hand, with the DVD drive serving as an excellent grip.
This camera is easy to shoot in both the HDD and DVD formats. I was recording immediately upon inserting the newly charged battery. Swapping between recording modes is as simple as turning a dial and waiting anywhere from 5-15 seconds, depending on whether or not the function has been used since turning on the cam. The 2.7" screen is bright, sharp and colorful, with the option to turn all white and serve as a light in dark shooting environments. The screen although bright was difficult to see in daylight. But it's always easy to just look thru the viewfinder.
Is the DVD/HDD/SD an advantage? Aside from all other points, the main premise of the Hybrid is that one can shoot multiple formats and transfer between them with ease. This was not my experience. I was able to record but dubbing was power intensive and unless you had the ac adapter, the battery life was too short to transfer 30 minutes to DVD. Still shooting is fine as long as you remember your SD card. You also can't back up video to the SD card from either the hard drive or the DVD.
While the 16:9 ratio makes for footage that's happy on my TV, the video is adequate at best. For the most part, colors appeared washed out, with springtime purples muddied to make us crave winter. The best moment was from one of our vibrant yellow tulips, but even within acceptable exposure levels, texture detail from the pedals was lost almost completely. Following my daughter around in available light condition was over dark or over bright. The camera did react, but slowly. Maybe I was just expecting too much. Because of time and lack of skill I never shot in HD format. I also found 11 minutes to be too short a recording time for the DVD.
Sound Quality: Audio playback was surprisingly clear at mid to high ranges. Low ranges, such as background traffic, were emphasized a bit too much. Camcorders never have great mics and the Hybrid's could be a lot worse, so this one should suit most users.
I'm no tech wiz kid but I found the software is all but unusable for the Mac. On my PC I was able to navigate with a 43 minute call to tech support. I still found the software challenging. Tech support was very user friendly, patient and easy to follow.
Despite its limitations of sharing footage between recording methods, the Hitachi Hybrid is a decent solution for those looking to make in-camera DVD dubs. Plus, one can edit their clips, group together play lists and even add some limited transitions without ever leaving the comfort of a their LCD. Either bring the power cord or use the aftermarket long life batteries for about an hour of use each.
My search for the holy grail of video cameras still goes on.
I give this one a "swing and a miss" for Hitachi, sorry.

Felipe Calderón's Arrogant Call for U.S. Gun Control
The Mexican president shamelessly used the Aurora, Colorado tragedy to push his own agenda.
The blood had barely dried in the tragic Aurora, Colorado, shooting before Mexican president Felipe Calderón put the blame on permissive U.S. gun laws. In a post on his Twitter account, Calderón offered his condolences to the victims but then added that the incident showed that "the American Congress must review its mistaken legislation on guns. It's doing damage to us all."
It was hardly a new theme from Mexico's lame-duck president. But his latest statement requires an extraordinary amount of gall. During Calderón's presidency, more than fifty thousand of his people have died in the war on drugs that he chose to escalate. A foreign leader with that awful of a track record daring to lecture the United States on its policies regarding firearms is not likely to sit well with most Americans.
But Calderón repeatedly has blamed U.S. gun laws rather than his decision to launch a military-led offensive against the drug cartels for the resulting violence in his country. The Mexican government even posted a massive sign on the border with the United States between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso reading "No More Weapons!" The sign was made from recycled guns seized by Mexican security forces.
But the location of that sign undercuts Calderón's own argument. Juarez has been for the past five years the epicenter of gun violence in Mexico. Yet El Paso has a very low violent-crime rate. If "lax" U.S. gun laws were the cause of the carnage in Juarez, wouldn't El Paso also be awash in blood? Some other factor must account for the extraordinary violence south of the border.
Extensive research on restrictive gun laws in both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions shows no correlation between tough laws and a decline in homicides and other crimes. Mexico's own experience confirms that point. Following sometimes violent radical leftist challenges to the government in the late 1960s, Mexico enacted some of the strictest gun-control measures in the world. Today, it is nearly impossible for a civilian to possess a handgun or rifle legally in that country. Yet such tough restrictions have done nothing to disarm the drug gangs. In fact, those measures may have made it easier for cartel enforcers to terrorize portions of the country, since they don't have to worry much about law-abiding civilians being armed and able to defend themselves and their families.
Conversely, the trend over the past decade or so in various jurisdictions throughout the United States toward conceal-carry and other permissive policies regarding firearms has not produced the surge of killings that gun-control zealots predicted. To the contrary, the rates of homicides and other violent crimes in most of those jurisdictions have actually gone down.
Calderón should have had the decency not to exploit the Aurora tragedy to push his misguided gun-control agenda for the United States. During his remaining months in office, he should instead focus on easing the suffering that his policies have caused in his own country.

I browsed through a few social networks lately discussing basic Service Support activities like password reset. Interesting to see how even experienced IT professionals have different points of view on elementary procedures like this one.
We can take for granted that these portals consider the simplest case of Password Reset event: the user forgot hers/his password. In a consolidated service desk of 2000s this was the most frequent event, making 50-80% of all calls.
So, could it be an Incident? Obviously NOT. Incident definition requires a service downtime or probability of downtime. No service downtime here, only end user can't log in, by his own fault.
Is it a Service Request?
Is password reset request a Service Request? Of course it is, there it is in the ITIL definition of a Service Request:
- A request from a User for information or advice, or for a Standard Change or for Access to an IT Service. For example to reset a password, or to provide standard IT Services for a new User. Service requests are usually handled by a Service Desk, and do not require an RFC to be submitted.
- Simple web application user passwords are a mild example of the above described case.
- Enterprise domain user password is closer to what first comes to our mind when we think about password reset. Now, we said it is a Service Request. In which cases it escalates to a Change Request? Well, if you have a strong security policy, implemented SOX or ISO/IEC 27001 and influential security officer, then it's possible that they require formalized approval cycle and implemented operational Standard Change procedure.
- VPN account passwords which enable user to connect from the outside of the company to internal network are a very sensitive security case, so all concerns regarding domain user accounts apply to them, and then some. A special case is a VPN account given to a 3rd party employee. Usually such a request has to have defined start and end of usage and approval from a high position (chief security, IT manager or CEO).
- Application Administrator account passwords enable the user to create a significant amount of damage to a company according to the importance of the application to the business. Examples: Intranet applications, CRM, ERP. Which one contains the most sensitive data for your company? Probably the ERP application.
- System Administrator Account presents the highest possible level of trust to an employee. Only security officer , Operations or IT Manager should approve these account creations and their password reset requests.
- Service Accounts under which different IT services are executed. These have to be taken care by the security officers, their catalogue has to point to services they enable (1:M relation) and access to their passwords has to be restricted only to most confidential people. Usually these accounts have broad authorization and they are set to rarely or never expire, so they should be maintained with utmost care, especially in organizations with frequent employee fluctuation. Best practice is to deposit them in a safe box by a single person.
Until recently, the recommendation was to lock the user account after three to five unsuccessful attempts. What changed? Implementation of security standards and best practices introduced higher password complexity and more frequent user password changes. Majority of users have some kind of mobile device for connecting to an enterprise mail system. These devices cache user credentials and often lock-out user's accounts after password change. Virtualization also contributed to simplification of lockout policy since various user credentials can be cached on different physical and virtual machines.
Brute force attacks are measured in hundreds if not thousands of attempts in a short period of time, so it is now advised to lift the lockout attempt number to 60-100, or to turn the policy off completely and survey security logs with adequate tools.
Let me just finish here in a nicer tone. ITIL is not too prescriptive in telling you how exactly to do things.
In the above example, if you process Service Requests as a special category Incidents, you are still in the green. Customers get their service, all needed reports can be generated as agreed, KPIs are there, you are good!
We are in business of keeping the customer business going. In the spirit of current holidays, I wish you the very best of luck with it. Because you are going to need it :)
For further reading I recommend 4.2 Incident Management, 4.3 Request Fulfilment and 4.5 Access Management chapters in ITIL Service Operation book.

Cocktail Crawl: Where to Drink Classic Cocktails in New Orleans
New Orleans has a reputation for being a town where drinking is not only accepted but encouraged, to put it mildly. But aside from the thousands of gallons of cheap beer and tacky, fluorescent drinks sold on Bourbon Street, New Orleans has a cocktail culture that's well over a century old.
If you've come to New Orleans to explore, your crawl should include a few classic cocktails: the Sazerac, the Vieux Carré, Milk Punch, and yes, the Hurricane. Some of these drinks are original to New Orleans and have spread outward from here; some—like the Pimm's Cup—are transplants that have been welcomed and found a new home. Some of these cocktails have a long history and tradition at one venue, and often the "original" bar is indeed the best place to belly up, but occasionally it's worth drinking outside the box. The Big Easy is currently experiencing a boom in craft cocktail culture, and some of these new establishments have embraced the old guard of drinks, serving the classics with care and respect—plus the occasional nip-and-tuck.
Check out the slideshow for 6 essential stops on your New Orleans classic cocktail tour »

Mugen Souls Review
The Good: Character designs are great.
The Bad: Loading and slowdown issues.
The Ugly: Battle systems are either too simplistic or convoluted.
Mugen Souls peaks with its intro, which sees the world-conquering Chou Chou and her ally Altis bathing together. There's a slew of amusing dialogue, some fun is poked at RPG and anime conventions, and then…battles begin and problems start to appear. A mix of SRPG character placement in a 3D world and JRPG menus certainly can work well. Unfortunately, that isn't the case here.
Early tutorial battles are just a flood of information and loud, annoying beeps alerting you to pertinent information. I'm all for a game telling you how to do things, but the execution here is just bothersome to the player. It isn't fun to have to skip through screen after screen of dialogue to explain a convoluted setup for something like CC's moe kill. With it, she can make an enemy into an ally, but doing so requires you to pay attention to that particular enemy's emotions throughout the fight since they change, and then make three choices on a menu that either work out and you gain an ally, or fail and you don't, and lose her for the few turns it took to execute the attack.
The camera is a hindrance in battles, as it tends to get stuck behind the giant crystal in the middle of the screen. It's not a huge problem, but is annoying, and becomes a major issues outside of the battlefield when it spazzes out. If it does so at the wrong time, like when you're trying to time an attack on an enemy before a battle is initiated, it means you can miss the attack, get attacked, and then be at a disadvantage. Dealing with camera issues like this was barely tolerable in the PS2 era, and it's long past that point now. Regular battles are also annoying due to the super-long and elaborate animations for linking moves. When you're near another party member, you'll do 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 attacks on enemies. These, like the Final Fantasy VII summons many years ago, look AWESOME when you first see them. Then you see them for the billionth time, they aren't funny, and just take up a ton of time since they can't be skipped.
While there's quite a bit I don't like about the battle system, I do love some elements of it – like the Blast Off system that lets you bounce enemies into one another or into the environment for more damage and XP bonuses. I also have a soft spot for any RPG that gives you the ability to skip battles by avoiding enemies, however, this game also has a ton of random battles, so it somehow manages to take a good thing and nullify it with random battles. That's a game design element that was annoying eons ago and only sticks out more as time goes on and fewer and fewer games utilize them because they reek of a cheap way to increase the time spent playing the game and only serve to distract you from the task at hand.
Beyond standard on-field battles, you've also got ship vs. ship battles that pit your kitty cat-headed one against rivals throughout the universe. These battles are rock-paper-scissors affairs that are entirely too easy. The initial tutorial battle explains all you need to do to counter an enemy's attack consistently, which just requires you to pay attention to hints given in every battle, resulting in easy wins every time out. These battles are entirely too simplistic and net you so much XP that it makes the regular battles more of a cakewalk then they should be.
Mugen Souls has two battle systems, and neither of them is much fun. It's a real shame too since the game has some things that work for it, but they're just bogged down far too much by the flawed battle systems. I like the writing – it's self-referential, and while it isn't the funniest script in the world, and the world-domination storyline and its characters aren't particularly compelling or deep, it is funny to hear the characters interact with each other. The voice acting is great, and makes the script much better than it reads on paper. The soundtrack is a mixed bag, with some music being way too cheery and repetitious, and then there are slower, more melodic tracks that I enjoyed quite a bit.
Mugen Souls is also a mixed bag visually. The anime-styled art looks fine, and is very Disgaea-esque which makes sense given that MS and that series share character designers. The in-game character graphics look quite good, and their cel-shading reminds me of the latter-day PS2 game Rogue Galaxy, although that wound up being a far more impressive game visually on the whole. Here, the environmental graphics have a strange blur effect on them. It almost looks like the textures are popping in, but it isn't quite that – it's still ugly and distracting though and makes it harder to tell where you are in relation to your enemies, making it harder than it should be to attack enemies on the field before the proper battle.
Other major technical issues rear their ugly heads throughout the adventure, including hideous load times before each battle and a shockingly high amount of slowdown while you're just running through open areas. It's been a long time since I've played a game with as much slowdown as this, and I can't recall an RPG since the PS1 era with loading before battles at all, let alone anything crafted with a modern console in mind.
Mugen Souls is the worst RPG experience I've had in a long time. I like that the game has two different battle systems, I just wish either was fun to use. Neither is able to hold your interest for very long, with one growing tiresome due to needless complexity and the other being too simplistic. Normally, if an RPG had a weak battle system, its storyline might be able to save it, but that isn't the case here. There isn't much depth to the characters or the plot, and there isn't anything about the game that can really be recommended. I enjoyed the voice acting and the music, but not enough to warrant buying it. I normally wouldn't recommend renting an RPG given their length, but I think many could rent this and get their fill in a day or two. Unless you rent it and love it, I don't see a reason to buy Mugen Souls given that the PS3, thanks to PS1 classics alone, has far better offerings in the genre than this that are more worthy of your money and time.

There is so much riding on what you name your child. It's the name that he will be called forever. Unless he emancipates himself from you and changes his name. Which could very well happen if you choose poorly. Choosing a baby name also comes with the challenge of you and your partner liking (or not liking) the same name. Not always easy. In an effort to delve into the male psyche, I asked a couple dozen of them what they would name their son if it were solely up to them.

University of Nebraska head track and field coach Gary Pepin has never been one to brag during his 29-year tenure with the Cornhuskers.
University of Nebraska head track and field coach Gary Pepin has never been one to brag during his 29-year tenure with the Cornhuskers.
But, he has a lot to brag about.
He is the winningest track and field coach in the Big Eight/Big 12 conference. Under his coaching, the Cornhuskers have 64 conference titles, 11 top-10 NCAA team finishes and his student-athletes have combined to win 116 Big 12 and 18 NCAA individual titles — including a tie for fourth by the Husker women at the 2008 national championships.
Now, the Pittsburg High School and Pittsburg State University graduate can boast about one more thing.
Being inducted into the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
But, none of that fazes Pepin, who graduated from PHS in 1961 and PSU in 1966.
"As long as I have been coaching, there have been so many people that have been a part of the program and the program is bigger than any one person," Pepin said. "My success can be contributed back to all of the assistant coaches and great athletes."
Joining Pepin in the Hall of Fame will be Charlie Craig, Kim Duyst, Mark Guthrie, Dean Hayes, Dave Murran, Peter Tegen and Alex Wilson. The 2008 Hall of Fame induction was be Dec. 17 at the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Ariz.
Despite a modest nature, Pepin still said the honor is surreal.
"I guess, I was surprised," Pepin said. "I have never been into those honors and I have almost been a little embarrassed because there have been some people that I have tried to get in the Hall of Fame and they didn't get in."
Pepin came to Nebraska after serving as an assistant coach at the University of Kansas — where he earned his master's degree — under Hall of Famer Bob Timmons.
He was quick to turn around a struggling women's program that had been living in mediocrity for several years.
"I had just the women's program and, in a short amount of time, we won three national championships," Pepin said. "We won the last ever AIAW (in place of the NCAA) then we won the first-ever NCAA championship."
Three years later, he took over the men's program as well.
"The men's program was not really very good," Pepin said. "They had some good individuals but not really a good team.
"I always thought that Nebraska was a sleeping giant and that they had the potential to be very good."
During his time at Pitt State, Pepin was coached by Prentice Gudgen and ran with Girard's Jerry Hudson. Hudson later was Pepin's best man when he married his wife Jean Anne Frank in 1966.
Over his years at Nebraska, Pepin has coached numerous star track athletes. Not the least of which was a sprinter from Jamaica named Merlene Ottey — an eight-time Olympian, world champion and world-record holder.
"She was perhaps the finest collegiate track and field athlete," Pepin said. "She headed up that team and there were other nationally ranked and world ranked athletes on that team."
He said that the support from the university has been why the Cornhuskers have been a mainstay in collegiate track and field.
"When you are living in Lincoln, Neb. it is not the easiest place to recruit to so academics have been a spot where they have placed a lot of resources in that area and we have a lot of really good students," Pepin said. "We've just been fortunate that we have really recruited well. We have great facilities and they are among the best in the country and, as a result, we have had great coaches."
Continuing with his modest nature, Pepin said that being selected for the Hall of Fame is somewhat humbling.
"I would say that it correct," Pepin said. "It is a very nice honor but it has never been a deal that I have worked for or been concerned about but it is nice and humbling considering others that are in there.
"There have been a lot of people that have been a big part of my coaching career and they deserve a lot of the credit."

What Happened to Ajmal Kasab's Body
It took more than a year for the nine militants who were killed by security forces during the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai to be laid to rest.
For a long time, government officials didn't know what to do with the bodies, which were preserved in a morgue in a Mumbai hospital, according to the BBC.
But eventually, the bodies started to rot and, in January 2010, they were buried in secret in an unknown location on Indian soil. The news was shared with the media only months later, according to this Indian Express report.
For Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving gunman of the attacks that killed 166 people four years ago, the decision was much faster.
Within hours of his execution on Wednesday morning, he was buried on the grounds of Pune's Yerwada prison, Prithviraj Chavan, the chief minister of Maharashtra state, told reporters. Mr. Kasab was transferred from Mumbai to the nearby city of Pune two days earlier.
Where to bury terrorists has been an issue India has struggled with in the past. After the 26/11 attacks, as they became known, Muslims in Mumbai made it clear they did not want the nine terrorists, who were Pakistani citizens, buried in their graveyards. Pakistan didn't want them either. For a while, New Delhi had tried – in vain – to get Islamabad to accept the bodies of the nine terrorists, as it sought to get Pakistan to accept some responsibility for the terrorist attacks.
India tried to give Pakistan the option of reclaiming the body of Mr. Kasab but Indian officials say Islamabad was unresponsive. Ahead of the burial, Indian Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said the government tried to inform Pakistan about the execution with a letter. "They refused to accept the letter, so we informed them also via fax," Mr. Shinde said during a press conference on Wednesday morning. He said that Pakistani officials had not "demanded the body of Kasab."
A spokesman for Pakistan's High Commission declined comment.
Pakistan was never likely to accept Mr. Kasab's body. Under pressure from New Delhi, Islamabad only recognized him as a Pakistani citizen in January 2009.
Burying Mr. Kasab in a prison is a way of preventing his burial ground from attracting interest while respecting Islamic traditions.
"If burial happens in a prison, that's OK," says Zafarul-Islam Khan, the president of the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, a non-political Delhi-based organization.
Mr. Khan compared Mr. Kasab's burial with that of Osama bin Laden, which he described as "unacceptable." In May 2011, within 24 hours of his killing by a U.S. Navy SEALS team , Bin Laden was buried at sea, something Mr. Khan says Muslims should avoid unless, say, someone dies on a ship far from the shore. At the time, Saudi Arabia, bin Laden's country of origin, declined to accept the body.

In the yarbels? Ok, that is hysterical! That they followed you, not cool!
Ugh. Like shopping with all the kids isn't hard enough!
wow. i would have asked the management to throw the guy out. there's no place for harassment like that anywhere.
yarbels! holy cow that is a new and seriously funny one to me! AND what a creepy kid. i would have ...given him a dirty look and told him to go away.
UGH and shopping with all the kids is crazy anyway. and creeepy kid commenting on the amount of "action" you get is disconcerting. glad no one picked up on the TONE.
Kids these days. Did I just say that? What am I, some kind of old fart?? Anyway, I think I would have had to shoo him away. There is just no time in our busy lives to deal with the likes of hoodlums.
Personally I like the term gonad's! You would think he would have better things to do!!!
What a little punk! Guess what???! We are really going to do it!! We are going to move to California!!!! Ryan's boss is going to let him work from home out there! Angie, I'm so excited!!!! Were just trying to decide if we should go out in Oct. right when our contract is up here, or if we should wait until after the Holidays and come out in January. Part of me says THE SOONER THE BETTER! The other part says it would be nice to get one more semester of school done out here first. What do you think?
How immature!!
How you kept your cool I will never know. I am always so disturbed when I get exposed to people like that. Gives me pause for our future society. SERIOUSLY!
I am so impressed you didn't kick him in his yarbels! You deserve an award for keeping your cool!!!!
What a jerk! Anyway, Good Job Angie for not kicking the hoodlum in the yarbels.
What are yarbels, and why didn't you?
yea, what are yarbels? I couldn't find it in my dictionary I always use when I read your blog...
oh, and that boy, is really annoying. I bet it was being with the kids that didn't let you do it
What nerve that young, immature boy had!!! I bet that was really annoying!
♥ I can't believe he followed you around! I think I would have said something after a little while. How frustrating!
My vote is that he was a hoodlum that needed a lesson.
I have not had someone follow me around yet, but having 3 kids in 3 years I've heard many remarks that just make me want to laugh. Now I am taking care of a 1 year old. So my ages are 3, 2, 1 and 6 months, but I never let it slow me down. We still go shopping and out to local events. My favorite was Ann Taylor to get a dress. I had all the kiddos in the fitting room as I am trying on dresses as fast as possible. I am sure it sounded like world war 3 but I was really under control.
That is just not acceptable I would have gone to the manager. So rude. People like that...UGH!!
I once had a check out girl look at me (pregnant-@8 months w. Andrea) and say, with a look of disgust, "You think you have enough kids?" I just looked at her and said with a smirk" no, I don't" She was quite taken back and tried to then make some lame comment on how cute my kids were. paleeze! I just don't understand some people.
Let me be clear. Not that my kids aren't cute but after the first comment...A little to late. :)
I agree--a total hoodlum--and a good yarbel awakening would have served him right!
Good job keeping your cool in front of the kiddos. Your good karma may have kept them from picking up the dirty 'street talk'--Great JOB!
Please tell me you said something to him!!!
Oh baby! That wouldn't have flown with me! You are amazing keeping your cool with that one. I'm afraid I would have had a very hard time not letting my words fly.....So sorry you encountered that little punk!
I would have been SO pissed. He would have gotten the stink eye from me atleast. I'm impressed that you kept your cool!
Yarbles...perfect. Who raised that kid?
I so would have had to bite my tongue not to say anything...but if i had it would have come out stupid and I would have regretted it...that always happens to me...
I hope so too Angie. I've always wanted to get to know you and your family better.
I think I would have at least faked a phone call into 911. Creepy. I never have good come backs when I need them...
ohhhhhhhh I would have not be very happy AT. ALL.
oh man, you have a lot more composure than i do. i always end up yelling at people like that. i'll have to blog about the time i yelled at some guys fresh out of prison during a cross country trip on greyhound. afterwards i'm always praying that i don't get murdered in the parking lot after an outburst.
That would have seriously creeped me out. I would have wanted to kick him too.
OOh that's creepy!
Yarbels!! I love it!!
Little creep!
Ok, I love that word..."yarbles." With four boys and many words to describe those very special parts this is a funny one indeed. And though it seems kind of funny in hindsight, I probably would have said something. I don't tolerate punks very well...I guess I've forgotten what it was like to be one.

Lark silent alarm clock system launching June 14 at Apple Store
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, Smart Home, Science
If you're tired of waking up your significant other (or your significant other waking you up!) when the alarm clock goes off, you may want to take a peek at the Lark. They're calling it a silent "un-alarm" clock, and the promise is that it will wake you up without disturbing those around you. How does it work? You wear a sleep sensor on your wrist, and dock your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad into the cradle. The device will now act as a bedside clock, while the sensor tracks all sorts of into about your sleep cycle. When it's time to wake up, the sensor on your write starts to vibrate, which is enough to wake you from your slumber.
The device will be available in Apple Stores starting on June 14th, and it'll cost $129. We've already got one in for review, so look for our thoughts on the Lark shortly.

(Costa Mesa, CA) April, 2013 – Life is never easy and it's rarely understandable and simple. Famous writers of all mediums---prose, poetry, plays, and screenplays---have been trying to figure out life, its meaning, and its challenges for uncounted years. These literary geniuses include William Shakespeare, Herman Melville (ah, that white whale), Edger Allen Poe ("Nevermore"), Ray Bradbury, Thornton Wilder, Douglas Adams (The answer is "42" apparently) and Monty Python (the image of Eric Idle strolling through infinity singing "The Universe Song" will be forever burned into the minds of physics and philosophy undergraduates everywhere). But rarely does a playwright capture the emotional frailties of the human condition, how one faces life's challenges headfirst, no matter how tough (or in some cases, weird) it gets. A character in Noah Haidle's latest dramatic creation at South Coast Repertory, Smokefall, sums it up with perfect simplicity: "All things change, and we change with them." Led by the brilliant Orson Bean, Smokefall is a profound, surreal theatrical ride about family, life, and even the joys of apple pie.
On the surface, all is well at the Michigan family home of Daniel (Corey Brill) and Violet (Heidi Dippold): Violet is pregnant with twins; Daniel's job is flourishing; their teenage daughter Beauty (Carmela Corbett) is thriving in school; and Violet's aging father aptly named The Colonel (Orson Bean) is well taken care of. But then a Thornton Wilder/Stage Manager-type of narrator called Footnote (Leo Marks) reveals the unhappiness that each family member faces: Violet is physically neglected by Daniel; Daniel is about to abandon his own family; Beauty hasn't spoken for three years and eats dirt and paint for nourishment; and The Colonel's dementia is getting worse with each passing minute. The story then delves into the delightfully surreal as a pair of unborn twin babies have a philosophical debate about the positives and negatives of being born, including discussing literary theory by Michel Foucault and singing "Send in the Clowns." The play soon ends with a 95 year old Beauty (who mysteriously doesn't age at all) reuniting with one of her twin brothers (aged 79, who does look his age) after traveling the world for almost 65 years.
This three-act production wisely continues without an intermission at a brisk, but not rushed, 90 minutes, due to Haidle's intelligently imaginative dialogue and Anne Kauffman's tight direction. To interrupt this triptych would have spoiled the poetic beauty of the story, as though a fifteen minute break was added in the middle of Hamlet's "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy. The transitions from one act to another is absolutely flawless, most notably Orson Bean's hilarious "magic trick" he conducts after the first act.
But it is the poignant acting that provides the necessary links for this theatrical "chain". Dippold's Violet is a painful portrayal of longing, confusion and matriarchal loyalty. Corbett demonstrates silent power as a mute in the first act and then shows conflicted turmoil in the third act as an older woman. Her scenes with Bean in both acts are heartbreaking; their chemistry together is magical. Both Brill and Marks expertly demonstrate their ability to capture both of their dual roles. Brill mixes Daniel's tragic selfishness with empathy, while also hilariously portraying the insecurity of the unborn Samuel. Marks's Footnote exudes a likable, vaudevillian type of showman confidence (like a young Orson Bean. Subtle hint, there.) as the narrator of the play, a confidence that translates well when he plays the self-assured unborn twin, Johnny.
And then there is Orson Bean's dual portrayal of The Colonel and the aging Johnny, which serves as the solid hub to this "wagon wheel" of a cast. As a veteran of stage and screen, Bean's ability to combine his memorable comic timing and with his sense of dramatic flair is practically legendary. He captures the confusion and frustration of The Colonel's dementia with incredible potency, but avoids being maudlin by intertwining self-deprecating humor into the mix. And as the ever-hopeful Johnny, Bean mixes a subtle pain with endearing flavors of wisdom, a wisdom that penetrates his lost sister's soul with each passing minute. At 84 years old, Bean is an absolute wonder to behold and his performance in Smokefall is a true testament of his artistry in both drama and comedy. By the end of the play, all elements---the writing, direction, and acting---are mixed together, slowly baked, and patiently served like one of the apple pies that feature in the show, continuing to tantalize its audience through its run at South Coast Reparatory.

Firefighter down: Friends mourn 'good ole country boy'
The last time Howard Sisk saw his son, Walker, was the evening of November 7. Walker had been on duty the night before at the Seminole Trail Volunteer Fire Department and had run a bunch of late calls, including a couple of people in cardiac arrest who couldn't be saved.
"That bummed him out," says his father. "He had a headache and said he was tired. He put on shorts, and I thought he was staying home."
That wasn't in the cards for the gregarious Walker. A couple of buddies from the fire department came by and persuaded Walker to go out for a couple of beers.
"He hemmed and hawed and decided to go," recounts Howard Sisk. "He gave me a couple of high fives, and said, 'I love you,'" before walking out of his parents' Free Union house.
Walker's evening would have been unremarkable for a 22-year-old out with pals on the Corner, had he not allegedly crossed paths with third-year UVA student Andrew Robert Alston.
Alston, 21, is accused of stabbing Walker multiple times around 2am November 8 on 14th Street.
The two men were not acquainted, and friends and family are still trying to understand what led to the fatal encounter.
If there's anything his father worried about, it was Walker's passion for firefighting. "I worried about him every time he walked out the door," says Howard Sisk. "But he was going to do it because he wanted to do it, and he was well trained."
Walker had wanted to be a firefighter since he was a child. "He had a little fire hat," his father recalls.
After spending last summer working as a guide in Skagway, Alaska, Walker had made two decisions: to go back to Alaska, and to pursue firefighting professionally.
"He had a new life plan," says Carrie Keyser, who graduated with Walker from Western Albemarle High School in 1999, and who admits she had "the biggest crush on him" in the ninth grade.
She describes Walker as "a good ole country boy" who could make friends with anyone. "Walker was a wild child," she adds. "I was so impressed he spent time volunteering and taking off to Alaska, that he would up and do something because he was that confident."
"He wasn't afraid to do anything," says his father. "He wanted to see the world." Back from his summer in Alaska, Walker was already trying to bankroll himself to get back there next spring.
His interest in Alaska came from his father, who grew up there, and from his grandfather, who lived there before it was a state.
"He was just starting to have a direction," says Howard. "He goes across country to live in the wilderness... I was just starting to see him take hold."
On a drizzly November 12, over 450 friends jammed into Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Greenwood. "The minister said he'd never seen anything like it," the elder Sisk says.
Best friend Dustin Medley eulogized Walker at the packed church. "He was absolutely the funniest person on earth," says Medley. "He was Hollywood material."
Medley thinks the number of mourners says a lot about Walker and his ability to make friends. "It was hard to be mad at Walker," he says. "He was outgoing and had a big aura around him. He made friends everywhere he went."
That's what makes it even harder to understand how a well-liked "country boy" and volunteer like Walker would end up stabbed to death by a UVA student he didn't even know.
Medley says of Alston, "I don't know anything about the guy except he was a third year, and he killed my best friend."
Howard Sisk doesn't even know the name of the man accused of killing his only child. "He destroyed our lives and our family, and he destroyed his family," he says.
"Let's say he was killed in a fire or in a car accident," says Sisk. "You could get your mind around that. This was a senseless, mindless thing to happen."
Andrew R. Alston is from Gwynedd, Pennsylvania, where his father, Robert A. Alston, is an attorney and sits on the Lower Gwynedd township's board of supervisors.
Charged with second-degree murder, Alston remains in the Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Jail without bond.
He's scheduled to appear in court November 21 on misdemeanor assault and battery charges for allegedly punching an ex-girlfriend in the face September 7 when she tried to leave a party.
And no one has been able to explain why the UVA student would set out on a Saturday night with a five-inch knife in his pocket.
Alston's neighbor, Erica Schaul, told the Progress of seeing him with the blade earlier that evening. "He took it out for no reason. It was sitting in his hand. It just sketched me out. It was a big knife," Schaul said.
And James Reinhold, who was out with Walker that night, described Alston to the Progress as having "some kind of blank stare in his face."
"I just hope this doesn't turn into something you can buy your way out of," says Medley.
Howard Sisk prefers to dwell on the positive aspects of his adventurous son's life, and the overwhelming support he's gotten from the community, particularly from Walker's friends and fellow firefighters.
"We were proud he volunteered at the fire department and went to Alaska," says Sisk. "There are people who never get a chance to do what they want to do."
Walker Sisk on the way to Skagway, Alaska, where he'd met a girl and planned to return next spring.

School Bus Idling Airborne Toxic Control Measure
This page last reviewed Janurary 19, 2018
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) approved the Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) (Amended Regulation)
limiting school bus idling and idling at or near schools to only when
necessary for safety or operational concerns. It has been in effect
since July 16, 2003. The program targets school buses, school pupil
activity buses, youth buses, paratransit vehicles, transit buses, and
heavy-duty commercial motor vehicles that operate at or near schools.
In 2009, Senate Bill 124, Oropeza (SB 124) acknowledged and codified
ARBs ATCM limiting school bus idling raising the minimum penalty for a
violation of this rule from $100 to $300. The bill also clarifies local
peace officer and air district authority to enforce the state's school
bus idling program. SB 124 became effective on January 1, 2010, and the
existing regulation was revised to reflect this change.
Please see the Historic webpage for the background information on the School Bus Idling ATCM.

Hi there,
As a side product for making IoT devices accessible to you through their web interface, we also quickly thought about how this could work for enabling remote support. So, we dug into the code and ported our IoT Remote AppControl solution to Synology NAS boxes, making it possible to access these devices from anywhere!
When tracking the device landscape out there, there is definitively a trend to replace large standalone servers with small, easy to administer NAS boxes. They are quick to set up, do not eat up too much space and are convenient to use. So especially SMBs/SMEs and home users start to pick them up more and more for easy file sharing or backup purposes. These boxes also create add on values by offering interfaces to calendars, web mails, audio players, photo collections and more. And now, you can easily access everything on there just by double clicking a device in your TeamViewer Computers & Contacts List.
And here is how you start:
At first, you have to download the correct package for your Synology NAS box. Usually, your Synology Marketplace picks the correct architecture for your device, but you have to know the device details and find out what your CPU is to get the right download.
If you do not know what architecture you have, a quick look here may help you.
We are currently supporting ARM and Intel based devices. For both, Intel and ARM, you will find two download packages: armv7 and armv5 target different ARM architectures, while amd64 (x86-64) and i386 (x86-32) target Intel. armv5 are used on older models dating back to the 2011s, while x86-32 is not used by many models (DS214play and DS415play). So, if you are in doubt and you want to access a recent system: In case you have an Intel CPU, try out the amd64 package and if you have an ARM CPU, use armv7.
EDIT: Update: We noticed, that some of the most recent Synology models introduced a new architecture that we did not support, yet. For all of you that are using the DS418, DS418j, DS218play, DS218, and DS118 models, we created an updated package that makes TeamViewer also run on these models:
After downloading the package, you have to install it using the package center from Synology. Log into your DSM as administrative user. Please note that we only support systems from DSM 6 onward.
Open the package center. First, you have to adapt the trust level of the package center to allow packages from any publisher. You can do so by selecting Settings and by setting the Trust Level to Any Publisher.
Then you can hit Manual Install and upload the package file.
After that you will have to accept our EULA for proceeding with the installation.
Once you finish the wizard, your TeamViewer installation will start automatically if you had previously selected the autostart checkbox in the last screen.
Now your TeamViewer is ready to connect to your account. But before doing so, please make sure that you reset your Trust Level to its former value.
Hint: Leaving it at Any Publisher is not required for operation and may make your DiskStation susceptible to attacks.
Now it is time to assign your DiskStation to your account. There are two ways to do that. If your device is in the same subnet you can use the Nearby feature of TeamViewer.
Just click the Add item-button in your Computers & Contacts List and select Nearby contacts and devices. A list with all devices in the same network running TeamViewer will show up and you should be able to locate your Synology device in this list. Just double click on it, and you are all set: You can now directly connect to your device. Please note that now, as long as the device is assigned to your account, it will not show up in this list anymore.
If the device is not located in your subnet or cannot be found, you will need to do a few more clicks. Open the TeamViewer dialog from the DSM application menu.
You will find your assignment ID and assignment password in this dialog. Add the assignment ID to your Computers & Contacts list by selecting Add item --> Add remote computer. Enter the assignment ID as TeamViewer ID in the shown dialog. Enter the assignment password as Password and press OK.
Please note: You cannot connect to your DiskStation yet and your password is only valid for assignment and cannot be used to connect to a device. This means that you to have to assign it to your account. To do this, go to your option dialog of your device and select Remote assignment. If all goes right, you can now connect to your Synology NAS device.
Go ahead, double click on your new entry in the Computers & Contacts list, log in and start enjoying your DiskStation from everywhere. Download files or listen to your music -- (almost) everything is possible now, and all via TeamViewer.
Please note that there are some known issues:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello All TeamViewer Users,
Today, new TeamViewer package has been released for Synology. This package includes:
Yes, now you can access Synology terminal via TeamViewer. In order to use this feature, you require minimum TeamViewer 13.2 version.
Please download and update your Synology's TeamViewer package.
Enjoy :)

already? If you encountered any issue during the installation, was there any error message, screenshot, you can provide?
For the DS414j it's which package ? The CPU is "Marvell Armada XP MV78230"
great news indeed ! thank you.
just installed on both DS413J and DS1515+ and seems to be Ok.
Hi @Kris-I
Thank you for your question.
Please try to install the package for armv7 on the DS414j which should be the appropriate version for a Marvell Armada XP MV78230 CPU.
If you have any questions, feel free to get back to us again.
I downloaded and installed the ARMV7 package for my 218Play but when I start the TeamViewer application on my Nas I get no ID......
The package seems stopped and when I force it to start it stops immediately!
Hi Thomas!
It seems that the new Synology models sport an architecture that we did not support, yet. We now uploaded the packages for the 218play and others, you can find them at https://download.teamviewer-iot.com/synology/1.0.6139/aarch64/teamviewer-1.0.6139_aarch64.spk
Thanks Andreas,
My nas is yet appaired but i don't access to.
My nas reject the connexion. why? is it necessary to configure the firewall?
Best regard
did you add the synology to your trusted devices list of your TV account first?
if not you cannot connect to it, for security reasons - which was an excellent idea to avoid hijacking
I try on my macbook pro and it doesn't work but on my Windows10 pc it's ok !!
Thanks for your help
Best regard
I can connect to my Synology, but all I get is a white screen! (I have a DS214Play)
Hi @EmualliuG,
Thank you for your post!
The agent is compatible with a Synology DS214 Play, if you see nothing than a white screen, then your TeamViewer version on your computer might not be the latest version.
Can you please update your TeamViewer on your Windows PC to the latest version and try again?
If the issue still persists, please do get back to us again.
on both DS1515+ and DS413J with DSM6.2 teamviewer is working perfectely. However i ned to tighten my firewall and was wondering if the synology version of teamviewer is also using in priority port 5398 the 443 then 80. if not what is the primary port ?
Thank you
Don't forget to open 5000 and 5001 http port on your adsl box To access your nas on a Web browser !
No, you don't have to any ports. That is the whole sense behind using TeamViewer: To not make your device accessible for the world. You can open the standard TeamViewer port, but usually that is not necessary.
for me there is no assign to account button.
and when i want to connect it rejcts me every time.
PC:Windows 10
could anyone help me?
best regards
Hello @rschunk-falch,
Thank you for your message. Please open your TeamViewer on your Windows 10 computer and search for "Nearby contacts and devices". If the Synology device does not show up, please open TeamViewer on the Synology device and note down the ID and Password of the device. Add a remote computer on your Computer & Contact list and enter the TeamViewer ID and Password on the "Properties". You should now be able to access your device by double clicking on the device on your Computer & Contact list.
Otherwise we can offer you a remote session to assist you assigning the device to your account.
Best regards,
hello @PatrickG,
sadly i tried this bevore, the synology could not be found in the nearby section and when i added it under computer & contact list i couldt conect either.
yes that would be perfect for me with your help.
best regards robin
We figured out, that the device was assigned to a group that required additional permissions to add new devices to. If you add a device to the group "My Computers", the Option "Assign to Account" will appear.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to get back to us anytime.
I can connect to my DS918+ but if I start the "Package Center" the connection breaks up with the message: "connection has been terminated" (or something similar).
And after that my DS918+ is shown as offline in the teamviewer application.
So teamviewer stopped on my DS and i have to start the application manually.
This is bad, because I only can start it manually from home.
Works great on my DS415play and DS416, are there any plans to release this for the synology royters e.g. RT2600ac?
Hi @wboevink
Thank you for your feedback. Did you try to install our agent for
32 bit:https://download.teamviewer-iot.com/synology/1.0.6153/i386/teamviewer-1.0.6153_i386.spk
64 bit: https://download.teamviewer-iot.com/synology/1.0.6153/amd64/teamviewer-1.0.6153_amd64.spk
on your RT2600ac already? If you encounter any issues during the installation, please provide us with the error message / screenshot of the error shown so we can investigate further.
Hi @Pattiack
Can you please download the log files of the agent and submit a ticket via https://www.teamviewer.com/en/support/ with the log files attached?
We will then be happy to investigate on this further.
Is the Teamviewer Synology app able to send WoL requests to computers that have Teamviewer installed and are on the same network?
I think you can not send WOL requests from TeamViewer on the Synology at the moment.
But I found a solution: Your Synology and your PC must be on the same network:
Create a user-defined task on your Synology
At the task settings fill in the following line at "user-defined script":
synonet --wake XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX eth0
(instead of the XX you put in your MAC-Adress)
After that you can run the task manuelly and your PC shuld start up.
I've installed on 1817+ (teamviewer-1.0.6153_amd64.spk) and I can see the Synology in my contact list on my PC (Version: 13.1.3629) but when I try connect it I get error message "Connection could not be established".
Did you assign your Diskstation to your Teamviewer account? See the manual at the top ;-)
Did you open the teamviewer app on your Diskstation? I believe that's the place where you actually assign it to your teamviewer account.
I had to assign Synology on my PC, I've missed the last step, thank you for your help.
I have a ds715 and package install fine but will not run starts then stops it is arm71 thanks
Tried on two 714+ boxes (amd64). Client has been updated today to 13.2.5287.
I've been tried both boxes to add to list with Add remote computer with ID and password for assigning. Added. I have no option for Remote assignment.
I found on of boxes is in Nearby contacts and devices. Added, assigned. On box is assigned too. But still on both boxes not possible to connect.
So tried to remove assignment on assigned box and remove from list. Restarted service. Possible to add to list of computers, it is on list of Nearby, but no option for Remote assignment.
Both boxes are now on same situation. Added, not assigned, not possibility to assign.
BSOD on computer, so after restart tried again and nearest box has option to assign. Assigned, and connection is available. But new item is added to list with NAME [Synology]. Original item still not possible to connect it, so I removed it. Second box without changes, not possible to connect, not possible to assign.
Hi @Jonr
Thank you for using our integration for Synology. Please assign the device to your account first, then you will be able to connect:
There are two ways to do that. If your device is in the same subnet you can use the Nearby feature of TeamViewer.
Just click the Add item-button in your Computers & Contacts List and select Nearby contacts and devices. A list with all devices in the same network running TeamViewer will show up and you should be able to locate your Synology device in this list. Just double click on it, and you are all set: You can now directly connect to your device. Please note that now, as long as the device is assigned to your account, it will not show up in this list anymore.
If the device is not located in your subnet or cannot be found, you will need to do a few more clicks. Open the TeamViewer dialog from the DSM application menu.
You will find your assignment ID and assignment password in this dialog. Add the assignment ID to your Computers & Contacts list by selecting Add item --> Add remote computer. Enter the assignment ID as TeamViewer ID in the shown dialog. Enter the assignment password as Password and press OK.
the problem is that the app will start and stop on synology not a connection issue yet. Can start app and immediately it stops with no error message. presume there is a log somewhere but issue not logged in synology logs
I get "Authentication Failed" error when attempting to connect using the Partner ID....
If I try a different random Partner ID it at least says "A Connection Could Not Be Established".
Sessions from other devices running TeamViewer can connect fine.
is there already a matching solution for
- ds218+
- dsm -> last found
when trying to load the actual package it shows that this version doesn't fit for this device
Hi @Pando
This error message is related to the account assignment. Please assure, the step with "Assign to account" is completed successfully before connecting to the device.
Hi @kal10bach
Please use the version for AMD64 on your DS218+
This should work.
Still not possible "Assign to account" on one box. No that action in the application or at web console.
@vpa_axis Do you have the TeamViewer ID of the device and can you download the logs of the DS and send it to us at https://www.teamviewer.com/en/support/

Hi @Jonr
ds715 is an Alpine platform based device. We are aware of this problem. We don't know as why this is the case with Alpine platform based devices. We don't have the device with us but we are still trying to figure out as why this is the case. Hopefully, we will fix it by next release else we will drop support for Alpine Platform.
@PatrickG Has been sent.
@arpitjindal Written above. There is not possible to assign a box to account, there is no option menu. One box has been added because has been found on Nearby devices, but the second box is remote and there is no option to Assign.

@vpa_axisIs the remote device already asigned to anyone else? One device can not be assigned to multiple users. If you don't know whether the device is already assigned to someone else or not the I would suggest to open the TeamViewer application in that device and if the device is already assigned to someone else then it will be mentioned there.
that did it.
@vpa_axis wrote:
@arpitjindalNot assigned.
Hi @vpa_axis
In which group does this device lies in your "Computer and Contact" list? Is this device being added to a shared group of which you are not the owner? If so, please move the device to an unshared group (best would be "My Computers" group) amd try again with the assignment.

text: Sailorwolf 0 Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) Well some of you know that I removed my two budgies Isis and Arkady from the main cage and put them into a breeding cage. Well the two budgies left in the flight cage seem like they are trying to make babies. I don't really want them to as the hen is almost 5 years old. She is spending all her time running in the exercise wheel, but I have a suspicion that she us is trying to use it as a nest (all though I don't know how she would prevent her eggs from rolling off of it), she sits in it and the male sits out side of it and feeds her in it. I don't know what to do as I think she is "pregnant" with an egg as her stomach is swollen and her vent is showing. What should I do? She is obviously keen on breeding.

Come help the CBF Oyster Restoration crew prepare oyster shells for the upcoming restoration season!
"Shell shaking" involves cleaning oyster shells by shaking off the dirt and debris so baby oysters can successfully grow on them. This is critical in our oyster restoration efforts, as without cleaning the oyster shells, we could potentially lose millions of healthy larvae as they attach to debris, rather than the shell, and are later washed out into the silt.
This event is a bit of a workout, but a fun hands-on experience. With lifting involved, it is not recommended for individuals with a bad back or other health concerns. Water will be provided, but please wear closed-toe shoes and bring a water bottle for refills. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
[If you have difficulty with the registration form, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, address, phone, and number of attendees and we'll get your registered asap!]
