It's hurricane season and we all need to be prepared, which for some people includes generators in case a storm knocks out power.
Florida's Department of Transportation is buying generators as well, and installing them along Interstate 75 in Manatee and Sarasota counties.
"It's an insurance policy in case the power goes out," said Robin Stublen, a spokesperson for FDOT.
The insurance policy isn't cheap. Seventeen diesel generators cost FDOT just under $300,000. They'll be used to power electrical service stations if the power were to go out.
The service stations provide power to large message boards along the interstate as well as the highway advisory radio and traffic video cameras.
FDOT says the entire system is called the Intelligent Transportation System, (ITS) a $20 million project now being installed on I-75.
Stublen says the generators are essential for the ITS system; however, he concedes there may be long stretches of time before the generators are ever used.
"But when we need them, we are glad we spent that money to buy it," said Stublen.
Bill Newton, Executive Director of the Florida Consumer Action Network, understands the possible need for the generators, but questions why they were put on I-75 through Sarasota and Manatee counties.
"It seems completely arbitrary in this case, it's hard to understand why they would do it," Newton said. "Why don't we look at the places people are likely to get stuck and are likely to need help?"
FDOT told FOX 13 that many state roads and some Tampa Bay area bridges are not covered by fixed diesel generators, and in some cases portable generators will be used to keep traffic updated and flowing.
The Gandy Bridge is one example. Motorist Joe Dudash from Sarasota believes keeping the power on and the information flowing though message boards won't be very helpful in the end.
"At least you'll have something to read when you're sitting still," said Dudash.
The new ITS project along I-75 in Sarasota and Manatee counties should be fully operational later this summer or early fall.

The history of heavy metal has seen bands rise from all corners of the earth, but when the numbers are crunched, the majority of bands who have achieved a degree of notoriety come from a select few regions. It all started in England, then spread to America, Germany, and the countries of Scandinavia. Between them, they have amassed the most numerous and most influential metal bands we have ever seen. There are countries outside of those cornerstones that have made an impact on metal, but each time a band comes from somewhere else, it's almost viewed as an accident.
There's always a drip of anticipation when putting on a record from a legendary band, even when you have no personal history with them. My Dying Bride had never entered my radar, so even though I knew of their legacy in establishing doom as we know it, my take on the album is with fresh ears. Anytime I put on an album by a band with such a pedigree, there's an understanding in the subconscious of my mind that what I'm hearing is not yet another average record.
For all the talk of rebellion and freedom that metal music purports to stand for, the reality of the situation is that just like every other aspect of the world, metal music is buried as deeply in clichés as anything else. We don't like to admit it, and we try out best to point out the infinitesimal differences that allow us, in our minds, to think every band is offering something unique to the scene. But the reality is that clichés exist for a reason. There is always some truth that leads us in that direction, whether we want to admit it or not.
I first heard the name Between The Buried And Me around the time "Alaska" was released. A nascent metal fan delving deeper into the waters, I read as many reviews about as many albums as I could. The words that were written about "Alaska" were rhapsodic, a level of reverent praise that demanded I pay attention to the masterpiece the band had unleashed. And so, like anyone intent on experiencing the best music out there, I listened intently. Perhaps the timing was off, or I had yet to develop an appreciation for outside-the-box thinking, but "Alaska" left me feeling cold and empty.
It's one of the inherent truisms about metal that when a band needs a shot of attention, or want to prove they are more artistic than merely a group of guys bashing loud instruments, the concept album is the end result. There's something about a story set to music that piques interest in a way a regular collection of songs doesn't. The strength of a concept, hitting at just the right time, is enough to elevate a set of songs and turn them into something we will always remember, no matter what the actual merit of the music.
The downfall of extreme metal is the overemphasis on the word 'extreme'. So often, bands become obsess with making sure their music is extreme, which ends up taking it so far away from the core of songwriting that little is left but a shell of noise. Listening to those kinds of records can be exhilarating, if in the right frame of mind, but for people who don't fall into the category of angry young men, extreme metal comes off as a parody.
In what has been a quiet year for traditional power metal, there's a gaping hole waiting for someone to step through and become the next big thing. The mainstay bands are either in between albums, or have moved too far away from the core sound for purists, which sets the stage for someone to claim this as their time. One thing we have learned over the years is that power metal is never going to go away, no matter how much it is looked down upon by the masses.
The struggle between brutality and melody is something that has come to define much of the modern metal movement. On one hand, there are the bands that don't believe any interplay is necessary, choosing instead to treat their listeners as punching bags, pounding song after song of relentless heaviness until they decide to retire. It's an approach that seems to be gathering more and more followers, one I would contend does nothing to help the cause of metal.
Even with a fractured landscape, there are bands that persevere for ages without gaining the acclaim many believe is deserved. Though hyper-categorized, too many bands fall under each label for all of them to make an impact. It's unfortunate, but reality cannot be denied. Certain artists, no matter how many albums they make, no matter how much influence they wield, will always be legends of the underground.
There's so much music written, recorded, and released each year that it's impossible for it to all maintain artistic integrity. Music was, at one point, an expression of thoughts and emotions that swirled inside the head of a creator, but as it became a business that has increasingly catered to the whims of fans, a growing proportion of the music we hear is written with the explicit purpose in mind of appealing to as many people as possible.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Fuel Icon Foolery
The placement of the handle on a dashboard gas pump icon indicates which side the vehicle's fuel door is on.
[Collected via e-mail, October 2007]
I have been driving for many years. One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my dash that was staring me right in the face the whole time. I didn't and I bet you probably haven't either.
Quick question, what side of your car is your gas tank? You probably can't remember right away especially if you drive more than one car or if you do a rental while on vacation.
My solution was to uncomfortably stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don't do this in your own car you definitely have done it in a borrowed or rental car.
If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the pump.
If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see attached images).
It is that simple!
Why don't the dealers share such important information with car buyers? I have on purpose asked many car salesmen since I found this out and 'THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS - NOT ONE DID'.
This seemingly helpful heads-up began circulating on the Internet in October 2007. As anyone who has driven a rental car well knows, it would indeed be useful to
have some sort of indicator on the instrument panel that would reveal on which side to refuel on. Sadly, "The World's Best Kept Auto Secret" (as the
is often titled) doesn't live up to its hype: while the icon it describes is real, the hidden message it supposedly communicates is not.
The nozzle-and-hose side of the "low fuel" indicator (which is usually presented as an icon depicting a gas pump) doesn't consistently correspond with the side of the car where the fuel door is to be found, nor does its placement on the instrument array (left side versus right side) tell whether you should bring the passenger's or driver's side up next to the pumps at your local gas station.
There's no magic to it. Although "The World's Best Kept Auto Secret" will prove true for some vehicles, it won't for others — akin to the many folkloric "tests" for determining an unborn child's
, it has only two outcomes (the icon's nozzle-and-hose side and the side the vehicle's fuel door is on match or they don't), so this "secret" will work sometimes but not always. (Yes, we know that some vehicles have their fuel doors in the back, but there are so few of them that for the purpose of this discussion we might as well ignore that
However, while the placement or shape of the fuel icon doesn't signify anything in itself, nearly all newer models of automobiles do include a small triangle next to it that indicates which side of the vehicle bears the fuel door. While you can't count on finding that triangle on every single instrument panel, it's certainly worth looking for.
There's no agreement among manufacturers as to which side the gas cap should be on (which, if they would just choose one side or the other, would solve the whole problem right there: you'd then always know which side of your vehicle to park closest to the pump). It would make more sense to consistently position the aperture on the passenger's side, both because it's easier to get out of your vehicle when you don't have to weasel your bulk past the gas pump you've just parked next to, and because should you run out of gas on the highway, it's a lot safer to pour more in when you're not standing next to the traffic whizzing by you.
An argument can also be made for placing the gas cap on the rear of vehicles. Were it there, you would no longer need be concerned about getting any particular side of your car sidled up to the pump: provided the rear of the vehicle were somewhat close to the refueling array, it wouldn't matter if the gas pump island were to the left or the right.
Yet another solution would be to have two fuel entry doors, one on each side. That notion, however, fails on cost. According to Rick Asher, a spokesman for General Motors, the cost of putting a gas cap on both sides of a vehicle would far exceed the value of the added convenience for the vast majority of people.
Which leaves us right back where we started, which is having to make mental note of which side a vehicle's fuel door is on when driving rentals or other cars unfamiliar to us (or try checking the side-view mirrors to see where it is before pulling up to the pumps).

The Founders' Welfare Program

I believe we could all agree that the founding documents were primarily based on the individualism of the people and the freedom and liberty to pursue their personal dreams without government interference. The Preamble of the Constitution spelled out the only duties to be taken on by the federal government on behalf of all the people in the various colonies. "... establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity ...". They made the Preamble perfectly clear in Amendment 10 ... "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
The Constitution was their will for the people to follow ... a roadmap, so to speak, leading us in this new 'grand experiment' called the United States of America. They also released the individual citizens to pursue their lives with their own will to follow the rules and use Judeo-Christian principles as their guideline. The Bible, both old and new testaments, was their recognition that the Creator was in charge and that He had the same set of rules for our lives. There is God's will for individual people and He gave us our own will to either follow him or pursue our lives in a different fashion. It's not complicated.
Getting back to the subject, 'promote the general welfare' was not intended to insinuate the meaning of welfare as we know it today. The document was written in the 'old' English and many words had totally different meanings than we have today. Promoting the general welfare, as understood by our founders, simply meant that they (the federal government) were to be vigilant in seeing that nothing that happened in any of the portion of the nation, unconstitutionally, would be allowed to alter the tranquility or internal security feelings of the people as they went about their individual, daily lives.
The founders also expected us to not only produce and take care of ourselves in our pursuit of happiness, but to also not burden other citizens with their failures. That included taking care of our elder family members in old age, helping other family members when going through hard times, and other citizens (strangers perhaps) that they saw in need of a hand up. Not one of the hundreds of welfare programs, as we know them today, is mentioned in the Constitution as a federal government responsibility to the general population. No Aid for Dependent Children (AFDC), no Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC), no food stamp program, no federal housing program, and on and on.
Just where did the founders get their ideas in forming the greatest nation on the face of the earth? Their belief in a Creator of all things ... where else?
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me". Mathew 25: 35-36.
"Honor your father and mother - which is the first commandment with a promise - that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth". Ephesians 6: 2-3
"But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents". ! Timothy 5:4.
" ... and love your neighbor as yourself". Mathew 19: 19
"... If a man will not work, he shall not eat". 2 Thessalonians 3: 10.
Can you now see what the secular Constitution and the Christian Bible have in common? They both speak to people as individuals, not as a collective group. In the Constitution, you are personally responsible for the success or failure of your own lives on earth. Collectively, you are the owners of this nation. In the Bible, you are personally responsible for whether or not you choose to follow God's laws to the best of your ability or go off on your own. Collectively, you are all loved by God as individuals, no matter what direction you have chosen for your lives. Another likeness in these documents is that neither one of them has any mention of government responsibility for any of the items or programs talked about above.
Until we decide that we will stop destroying the Constitution word by word, page by page, we will never return to the country our founders envisioned. Likewise, until we stop spitting in the face of our Creator, we won't continue to receive His blessings that we've enjoyed for over 200 years. Putting it simply, we will see our secular lives on this planet end in a country we no longer recognize and, worse yet, we will not have a leg to stand on the day we die ... eternity could look awfully bleak.
I'm sometimes as guilty as everyone else, so don't take this as a rebuke to others or a self-righteous blog. It's simply food for thought and discussion.

D.C. Sniper
This exhibit is not available at the Newseum and is exclusive to Newseum.org.
When 10 people in the Washington, D.C., area were killed in a series of sniper attacks in the fall of 2002, a local police task force was overwhelmed. The FBI was called in and mobilized its "Rapid Start" computer program, which helped sort a deluge of tips and develop investigative leads. The program, while cumbersome, proved crucial to the case, which has been called the largest manhunt in U.S. history.
More than 140,000 tips were received, resulting in about 35,000 people identified as possible suspects, but most tips were useless. When a white van was spotted at the site of one shooting, it became the center of attention. Authorities released a sketch, putting virtually every white van in the region under suspicion. When two snipers were captured in a blue sedan, the task force and the news media faulted each other for focusing too heavily on the van. Other police frustrations included leaks to the news media and difficulty communicating with the snipers.
In the end, the snipers' boastful phone call to police about a murder in Alabama led to their capture. FBI agents followed up with fingerprint analysis and international investigations. The cooperative efforts of federal and local law enforcement agencies led to the arrest of two suspects. Both were convicted of murder.

A cool, quirky lighting gadget making its debut at CES this year was miniWIZ's Solarbulb. The lamp fully charges with three to four hours of direct sunlight and nassmc.org then provides six hours of LED lighting.
The coolest part is the best choice 50mg viagra retail price that the weather proof lamp then screws into any left over plastic water or soda bottle you have lying around to create a nice diffuse light for your living room or garden. The light can be amplified by adding water to the bottle.
A sensor switches on the light when it detects darkness, so no need to worry about the light being wasted during the day. The lamps will come in an assortment of colors and are expected to cost around $25 each.
Compared to generic cialis paypal many eco-gadgets, this one is relatively cheap and is attractive enough to proudly display in your home and, even better, it's truly useful. This could definitely help you save electricity if you turned off your outdoor flood light and used one of these instead.

They cut up the carbohydrates (the sugar) and put smaller quantities back into the juice. The control of sugar quantity is thereby improved and the fibre content increased.
Apple acids present a challenge
The new juices with less sugar and more fibre were first tested on apple juice. Apples were chosen because they present a real challenge in finding the correct balance between sugar and acid. This makes it vitally important to find the optimum apple varieties for every country. For example, because of the number of varieties and the growing conditions, there is much more acid in Norwegian apples than in those from Mediterranean countries. Pilot production is going ahead at Lerum Industries in Sogndal and partners in Germany.
Consumer acceptance?
The connection between raw materials knowledge, technique, sensory considerations and consumer perception is vital to the project. Consumer surveys are being carried out to rank both juices currently on the market and the new juices with less sugar.

Greatest Films of the 1940s
1940 | 1941 | 1942 | 1943 | 1944 | 1945 | 1946 | 1947 | 1948 | 1949
Title Screen Film Genre(s), Title, Year, (Country), Length, Director, Description
Adam's Rib (1949), 101 minutes, D: George Cukor
A great, sophisticated, battle-of-the-sexes comedy, one of Hollywood's greatest comedy classics, about husband-and-wife lawyers who take opposite sides of a court case, from a forward-looking screenplay with snappy dialogue by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin - the husband and wife's second collaboration with director George Cukor. Often rated as the best pairing of the nine films of the legendary screen team of Tracy and Hepburn - it was their sixth film together. The film was originally titled Man and Wife. Chauvinistic District Attorney Adam Bonner (Spencer Tracy) prosecutes a 'dumb blonde' Doris Attinger (Judy Holliday in her debut role) for attempted murder. The bombshell vengefully shot and wounded her philandering, two-timing husband Warren (Tom Ewell) with mistress Beryl (Jean Hagen). His savvy wife Amanda Bonner (Katharine Hepburn) victoriously defends the woman with feminist, women's rights arguments, upsetting sexist double standards. At film's end, Adam conclusively admits the profound differences between males and females: Vive la difference.
All the King's Men (1949), 109 minutes, D: Robert Rossen
Best Picture-winning film. Robert Rossen's fictionalized account of the rise and fall of backwoods rebel lawyer and politician - a story inspired by the rule (and despotic abuse of power) of Louisiana's colorful state governor (1928-32) and Democratic U.S. Senator (1932-35), the notorious Huey Long - better known as "The Kingfish." It is a melodramatic story of the corruption of power by an ambitious demagogue, adapted and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning and best-selling 1946 novel of the same name by Robert Penn Warren, and filmed from a script by producer-screenwriter-director Robert Rossen (known for directing other films such as Body and Soul (1947) and The Hustler (1961)). The main difference between the novel and the film was the reversal of the major roles: the narrating newspaper reporter took precedence over the power-hungry governor in the novel. In the film, the secondary character was the reporter Jack Burden (John Ireland), while the central character was small-town lawyer-turned-politician Willie Stark (Broderick Crawford). One of the film's posters proclaimed: "He thought he had the world by the tail...till it exploded in his face...with a bullet attached..." This great political drama was a breakthrough film for Broderick Crawford from his B-picture status - his performance is very compelling, electrifying and impressive as he is transformed from a backwoods, honest and naive lawyer into a dirty, unscrupulous and sleazy politician.
Battleground (1949), 118 minutes, D: William A. Wellman
Beyond the Forest (1949), 96 minutes, D: King Vidor
Champion (1949), 99 minutes, D: Mark Robson
The Heiress (1949), 115 minutes, D: William Wyler
A great romantic drama based on Henry James' 1880 novella Washington Square, with an icy musical score from Aaron Copland. In mid-19th century New York City, a plain, repressed, shy and virginal 'heiress' daughter Catherine Sloper (Olivia de Havilland) lives with her wealthy, arrogant, imperiously abusive, and domineering, widowed, patriarchal physician Dr. Sloper (Ralph Richardson). She remains a spinster, after her young, first love toward a handsome, but penniless, mysterious suitor and mercenary, scheming fortune hunter Morris Townsend (Montgomery Clift) is thwarted by her stern, tyrannically-selfish father, who threatens to deny the bride-to-be her inheritance. Pitifully, she is jilted on the night of their elopement. Over many years, her anger is suppressed and simmers, and surfaces when insincere scoundrel Townsend returns and again asks for her hand in marriage. With rational, cold, controlled rage, she turns the tables on him in the final, chilling scene.
Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949, UK) (aka Noblesse Oblige), 106 minutes, D: Robert Hamer
On the Town (1949), 98 minutes, D: Gene Kelley and Stanley Donen
The Reckless Moment (1949), 82 minutes, D: Max Ophuls
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), 103 minutes, D: John Ford
The Third Man (1949, UK), 100 minutes, D: Carol Reed
A British film noir thriller adapted from Graham Greene's novella written to prepare the film's screenplay, then later published. It was set in corrupt and desperate post-WWII Vienna during the Cold War. With a haunting zither musical score and theme from Anton Karas. A pulp Western novelist Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) assumes the role of an amateur sleuth as he looks for old friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles) who has reportedly been killed in Vienna. He seeks to unravel the mystery of the presumed-dead friend with a probing search, and an infatuation with Lime's girlfriend Anna Schmidt (Alida Valli). The first appearance of Lime is in a doorway, as a light suddenly illuminates his sardonic smile. Includes the dramatic scene atop a ferris wheel, a suspenseful manhunt - into the underground city sewers for the shadowy, marked man - a notorious black-market drug dealer who preys on the sick, and the famed ending of Anna's stoic shunning of Martins.
Twelve O'Clock High (1949), 132 minutes, D: Henry King
Whisky Galore! (1949, UK), D: Alexander Mackendrick
White Heat (1949), 114 minutes, D: Raoul Walsh
One of the most volatile, super-charged gangster-crime films ever made, about a psychopathic, homicidal, mother-devoted gangster. Tough-guy, eccentric Cody Jarrett (James Cagney) leads a gang of train robbers, supported by the ministrations of his beloved Ma (Margaret Wycherly) and the love of wife Verna (Virginia Mayo) who is unfaithful with gang member Big Ed Somers (Steve Cochran).

STOWE, Vt., June 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- You are being watched! Schools are spying on students… The CIA and NSA are spying on Americans… Employers are spying on employees. Yes, hackers are able to watch you through your webcam, even remotely turning off your "on" indicator light. What can you do? Well, increasingly the public is turning to a very low-tech solution to feel 100% safe from spying eyes – they are covering up their camera lenses. And, a plethora of new products have emerged to help cover webcams and block those bad intentioned spies and hackers.

A simple Post-It Note or masking tape may be able to temporarily do the job. But, Post-It Notes fall off, masking tape may not come off cleanly, and besides, those solutions look rather sloppy. Enter a number of companies with just the solution – basic, low cost covers made of plastic or vinyl.
One recent entry into the webcam blocking product pool is Gawk Stop (http://www.gawkstop.com). Owner Jeff Nicholson got the idea to make a low cost, sheet of vinyl webcam cover after seeing another webcam blocker on the TV show, Shark Tank.
"It was just such a ridiculous idea that a piece of specially molded plastic was needed to cover your camera lens," says Nicholson. "It is total overkill. People are using Post-It Notes and Band-Aids… it was obvious all they really need is a clean looking, low tack way to cover and uncover their webcams."
The Gawk Stop product is a sheet of six different super low tack stickers designed to work on every device a consumer may have. They are selling the sheets and guaranteeing 100% protection and satisfaction for only $3.95 and free shipping.
According to Nicholson, "Plastic blockers are a higher cost, tend to break, and don't work on many devices. Static decals don't stick to all surfaces. No one wants to use the term 'sticker' for many of the other products that have popped up, but a Post-It Note is basically a sticker – it's just necessary to use a very low tack, movable adhesive."
Nicholson admits that selling the low cost sheets is not profitable but hopes companies see the value as a custom branded promotional product. "This is an excellent promotional product for any school, organization or company that wants to show they are serious about online privacy while also keeping their name front-and-center," says Nicholson.

A darkly comic docudrama detailing the unusual friendship between a likable Texas mortician and a wealthy but reviled widow, and the shocking crime that followed. Inspired by Hollandsworth's 1998 Texas Monthly article, Bernie takes place in Carthage, TX, where effeminate mortician Bernie Tiede (Jack Black) enjoys a reputation as a friendly and upstanding member of the community. Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine), on the other hand, couldn't hold a lower position on the local social scale.
Repressed and bitter, nasty Marjorie has isolated herself from her neighbors, and as a result has been essentially shunned in her small town. The moment Bernie shows Marjorie a shred of kindness, she clings to him tightly and refuses to let go. Meanwhile, as Marjorie becomes Bernie's sugar mama and the pair becomes inseparable, the local rumor mill begins to churn.
Eventually, her intense jealousy becomes too much for Bernie to take. When the caustic widow's body is discovered stuffed in her own freezer, local District Attorney Buck Davidson (Matthew McConaughey) vows that justice will be served, but he finds it difficult to build a convincing case against Bernie as the locals rally to his defense.

2012 Guide Analysis: This first film in three years for Richard Linklater debuted at the 2011 Los Angeles Film Festival where it scored quite good (but not great) reviews with many critics in attendance claiming "Bernie" was Jack Black's best work in years.
The kicker here is that it's based on a true story of a local mortician who strikes up a friendship with a wealthy widow and then kills her - going to great lengths to maintain the illusion that she's alive.
Residents of Carthage, Texas where the real incident took place are reportedly unimpressed that a black comedy is being made out of what was a rather brutal murder.

Get on-the-go access to the latest insights featured on our Trustworthy Computing blogs.
By: Tim Rains, Director, Trustworthy Computing
Consumers of cloud services generally don't get to see the layers of technology that they rely on. For many, this seamless delivery is part of the value proposition of cloud computing; depending on the type of deployment, customers expect their cloud provider to manage the details so they can get on with the business of running their business.
The reality though is that cloud providers leverage the services and infrastructure of many other vendors to be able to deliver a service to their customers. For example, network services to and from a data center are likely provided by two or more network providers in order to provide redundancy, load balancing, and address other architectural needs.
It's not surprising then that for a cloud provider to deliver a reliable service that meets customers' security, privacy and compliance requirements there is significant interdependence between each of the layers that make up the cloud. In this episode of the Trustworthy Computing Cloud Fundamentals Video Series I discuss the concept of cloud service interdependency with Mark Estberg, senior director of Microsoft's Global Foundation Services. In the video, Mark states "The question we hear again and again is, 'How can I, the cloud consumer, have confidence that the entire stack meets my own security compliance needs?'" Mark generally advises consumers to "Think about the layers of the cloud service they are using, understand the seams between those and then make sure that when they get an evaluation they understand that entire stack of compliance capability." Please watch the video to hear the entire conversation.

Please check back on this blog regularly as we continue the Cloud Fundamentals Video Series and explore topics that are important for IT professionals and business decision makers who are interested in cloud security, privacy, and reliability.

Les Schtroumpfs: Blue Smurfette Lips (feat. Lime Crime No She Didn't Opaque Lipstick)
This blue lipstick was really just for kicks and not something I'd actually dare to wear out. (I know, I'm a wimp.) I applied Lime Crime No She Didn't Lipstick and placed a piece of Fimo flower (nail art) on top, using tweezers.
I bought so many fimo canes on a lark last year, and never got around to using them for my nails much. (But I do love them on the face!) Now I've lost my slicing blade and I need to locate it…
Actually on a side note, this looks so much like blue cake icing, you wouldn't believe it. Yum.

It is challenging being a CFO these days. Complicated decisions have to be made on many fronts, and knowing exactly how to proceed at any given time is harder than it looks. A smart move for one company could be unreasonable for another - and understanding which way to turn requires experience and insight.
Deloitte CFO services combines all of Deloitte's capabilities to help CFOs improve in the multiple roles they play - from reporting and controls to finance operations or strategy and execution - and address the challenges their finance functions faces.
At the same time, CFOs face never-ending pressure to cut costs, grow revenue and tighten controls - while assuming unprecedented personal risk for their company's mistakes. Given these internal and external forces, it is no wonder that CFO turnover is on the rise. One reason the CFO's job is getting more complicated is because it comprises four major roles. We call these distinct roles, the 'four faces' of the CFO:
According to our experience - and conversations with CFOs - these are the challenges we often see cited for today's CFOs:
In the current global economic and financial context, a number of other priorities have made it to the top of the list:

At the top of the agenda of Monday night's Webster Parish School Board meeting, were ways to save taxpayers money.
Grant Sutter, board counsel, presented a resolution giving approval to the issuance of General Obligation School Refunding Bonds, of Springhill School District No. 8.
"Based upon current market rates, net savings to taxpayers is estimated at $700,000," said Sutter.
The board passed the resolution by a vote of 11-0, with school board respresentative Charles Strong absent.
The school district has saved more than $3.1 million by refinancing the bonds at a lower interest rate, over the last 10 years.
By a vote of 10 to 1, the Minden High School Band was granted permission to travel to a Mardi Gras parade in Alexandria on February 10, Black Heritage Parade in Farmerville on February 16 and Band Showcase in Panama City Beach, Florida April 26 through 28.
Frankie Mitchell, District 9, opposed the request saying she feels the band needs to participate in local parades.
"I am not going to support it," she said.
She questioned why bands from the community were not present at the Martin Luther King Parade and the Mardi Gras Parade.
Superintendent Steve Dozier agreed with Mitchell that they need to participate in the future.
"I have heard a commitment that our band director insists that they participate in the future, and I would be supportive of these trips, despite our disappointment," Dozier said.
Other business:
Joan Almond of LSU Agriculture Center presented new hire, Extension Agent Cliff Rainwater, former elementary teacher. The Webster Extension office is now at full staff.
Kevin Washington was granted permission to add 'or Designee' to the CDA Policy. The policy previously stated "...he/she shall be responsible to the Superintendent." The requested change now reads, "....be responsible to the Superintendent or Designee."
"This was a time-sensitive issue to be changed for upcoming evaluations, he said. "Under the previous flow chart, it doesn't give supervisors authority to evaluate. However with the new change, the superintendent can designate persons to evaluate. A three member team will perform Compass evaluations."
Unanimous approval was given to the following requests:
$2,530 for reimbursement to Minden High for cost of refinishing gym floor, using District 6 half- cent Sales Tax.
$1,133.80 to Camus Electric Co. for replacing ballast in the gym at Webster Junior High, using QSCB funds. (The difference of the quote of $7,925 that was approved at the 11/27/2012 meeting.)
$775 for removal and disposal of 70 foot of old fence at Browning Elementary and installation of four foot cyclone fence using Springhill Maintenance fund.
$3,663.49 for service contracts with Homeland Safety Systems for Central Elementary using Consolidated 3 Building Funds.
$4,783.50 for service contracts with Homeland Safety Systems for Lakeside Jr/Sr High using Consolidated 3 Building Funds.
$4,931.55 for service contract with Homeland Safety Systems for North Webster Lower Elementary using funds from Shongaloo Building Fund.
$4,858.14 for service contract with Homeland Safety Systems for North Webster Jr. High using Sarepta Maintenance Fund.
$4,560.81, $3,470.96 and $3,663.49 (total $11,695.26) for service contracts with Homeland Safety Systems for North Webster High, Brown Upper Elementary, and Browning Elementary Schools using Springhill Maintenance Fund.
$2,942.19, $3,237.10, $2,895.15, $5,581.97, $3,663.49 and $3,368.57 (total $21,688.47) for service contracts with Homeland Safety Systems for Harper Elementary, J.L. Jones Elementary, Webster Parish Expulsion Center, Minden High School, Phillips Middle School and Richardson Elementary.
$70,787.16 for installation of digital camera system in Doyline High School using Doyline School Building Fund.
$11,430 total from QSCB funds for the removal of a four foot high nine gauge chain link fencing and reinstalling a six foot high 11.5 gauge chain link fence along with the installation of 29' of the four foot high gauge in between the buildings at the Webster Pre-K location by Pepper Fence, LLC. and proposal for a 50' x 50' pad area for the Webster Pre-K playground by Construction Consultants.
n Approval for Doyline High School to add the sport of Indoor Track at no cost to the system or school.
Amendments to the agenda were approved for the following:
$6,813.21 for ALTEC company to provide oversight and air monitoring during abatement of asbestos at Doyline school utilizing Doyline Bond fund.
$12,950 for Gill Industries, Ltd. To remove asbestos as per Project No. 19455. Funds will come from Doyline Bond fund.
Change Order Number 1/Architect's Project 2012-01 which covers CI-002, CI-003, CI-004 and demolition and disposal of storage building to be performed by Mann's Construction.

St Jude
A round of applause was given after the Superintendent's report was read that included the $130,967.51 contribution of Webster Parish schools to the St. Jude Auction. Since 2007, the schools have raised almost $690,000 for St. Jude.
"It is just amazing what they are doing. Everyone does a great job," Dozier said.
Next meeting of the Webster Parish School Board is scheduled for Monday, March 11.

"Bought this for a small bathroom but am now planning on running it through the hall and kitchen as it was so easy to work with. Made two deep scoring cuts with a Stanley knife folded and one good downward cut with the board on its side made a clean straight cut every time. Admittedly kept the blades sharp by replacing as often as they blunted. But never found the need for a saw. Only other tip is check if the plumber masticked!!! the cistern to the wall as we couldn't lift the toilet to slide under so have had to cut around it. Not my ideal but an easily solved glitch."
"After reading the previous review I was somewhat put off this product. But my other half was quite taken with its good looks against the usual laminate flooring. So I bit the bullet and bought enough to do the job. I found that if I used a saw for the cuts it was like a hot knife through butter. Forget using a knife on this stuff. I even used a jigsaw for the awkward round cuts to impressive results................. And the Wife is most impressed with it............ So there you have it. Use saws not blades. Just make sure you are safe when using sharp tools."
"dont even think about buying this product if you are not a master craftsman with an array of tools. it says on the box the tools required are, a tape, a pencil, a stanley knife. no way whatsoever. its far too thick to cut with a knife, you have to score it at least 10 times with your knife in exactly the same spot, on the long horizontal cuts along the board, forget it. the blade will skid everywhere and go blunt after 3 scribes and will need to change the blade again and again. i cut myself at least 3 times doin a small kitchen. i dont know why they have designed this tongue and groove vinyl flooring. its not an easy sticky back strip that peels off and sticks to the floor like most vinyls. its too flimsy and trying to join the tongue and grooves is much, much harder than a laminate wood floor. i would of taken this back, but the customer had already bought it for me. i had to use chop saw in the end as i had alot of cuts. forget what it says you need on the box, i will tell you. a very,very good stanley knife, 30 new blades, a box of plasters, a straight edge, a hand saw, a chop saw, a hammer, a tape measure, a large chisel, a huge bag of patience and a magic wand. certainly not a sunday morning d.i.y project. instead use sticky back vinyl tiles, very easy too cut and install and much, much, cheaper or laminate wood flooring. this is a mixture of the 2 and is an awful design. steer well, well clear. you will be pulling your hair out using this stuff, im outta here"

From its beginnings, it's been a place where narrative artists–writers, filmmakers and the like–welcome the discipline of structure in their work lives, and build a community of peers.
Fall Session Grotto Classes Now Open for Registration
We offer classes in everything from screenwriting to flash fiction, poetry to blogging, in both multi-week sessions and one-day intensives. All classes are taught by working writers actively publishing in their genres. Visit our Upcoming Classes page to see what's in store.

Death by Chocolate Cakes: An Astonishing Array of Chocolate Enchantmentsby Marcel Desaulniers
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
For the chocolate lover, there is nothing like biting into a rich, dark slice of chocolate cake. More than a mouthful of something wonderful, it's a chocolate celebration. And nobody knows how to celebrate chocolate cakes better than the "guru of ganache," chef Marcel Desaulniers.
In Death by Chocolate Cakes, Marcel serves up some of his most inventive, most sinful, most seductive chocolate creations ever. His Chocolate Heart of Darkness cakes are the ultimate cupcakes. The secret--a melted chocolate truffle center. For an unforgettable birthday cake, serve the one he created for Julia Child: a ganache-covered chocolate almond cake with red raspberry mousse.
Have the desire for something that towers over ordinary chocolate desserts? Look up Excessively Expressive Espresso Ecstasy or Chocolate Strawberry Teardrop Cake. These are exactly the things when "over the top" is what you want. And for an elegant taste of Paris, try Marcel's Chocolate Pistachio Madeleines.
When you just can't wait for that chocolate fix, Marcel has plenty of quick-and-easy recipes, some of which come from Marcel's mom's circle of chocolate-lover friends. Pour yourself a cold glass of milk and dig into Margie's Golden Raisin Heavy Fudge Cake, Virginia's Cocoa Pound Cake with Warm Buttered Brandy Berries, or Mimi Montano's Chocolate Zucchini Cake. As a bonus, there is a collection of ice creams, sauces, beverages, and other delectables that are the perfect partners to Marcel's creations and an informative section on equipment, ingredients, and techniques.
Death by Chocolate Cakes truly takes the cake and then takes it to where it's never been before.
The multiaward-winning chef Marcel Desaulniers serves up some of his most inventive, most sinful, most seductive chocolate creations — including plenty of fast and easy recipes for chocoholics in need of a quick fix. 50 color photos.

and Girls Club hosting
photography show
Throughout the month of March, Boys & Girls Club members have been capturing life through the Boys & Girls Club of America photography program which introduced them to the medium of photography and taught them photo technique.
"By introducing members to photography, we are giving them the priceless opportunity to express themselves in creative and unusual ways," said Nicole Harr, Boys & Girls Club manager.
The community is invited to a sneak preview from 5:30 – 7 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club at 8th and H streets on March 28. Members photography will be judge in the following five categories, including color process, black-and-white process, alternative process, digital and photo essay.
Winners will then advance to the county competition in Bellingham in April . Selected photos will then compete at the regional level; regional winners will be judged nationally.

When the red light flashes at an intersection, drivers knows a ticket could be in the mail.
Red light cameras now line intersections all over the Bay Area.
Senator Jeff Brandes, of District 22 in St. Petersburg, wants to ban them in the state of Florida and filed the bill Wednesday.
"I've come to believe this has become a back door tax increase for some municipalities and we see small municipalities putting these in intersections and generating thousands of tickets and sometimes it's accounting for a huge portion of overall budgets," said Brandes.
Brandes is not convinced the cameras increase traffic safety. "There's some data that it does not decrease accidents at all. In fact some municipalities are seeing an increase in accidents at intersections where they've installed red light cameras."
Also, his office has received hundreds of emails from people complaining about inconsistencies with the violations caught on camera, including right-hand turns on red, and the length of yellow lights.
Driver Annette Horner supports his efforts. "I have to agree that some of them are money makers, some of the yellow lights are shorter than others," said Horner.
But others, like Erica Nieves, believe the cameras make drivers more careful at busy intersections. "It does. I think about the camera and I don't want to do something stupid and end up getting a ticket," said Nieves.
Brandes is the chairman of the transportation committee, where the bill should come up for consideration first. S
State Representative Frank Artiles of Miami has written a companion bill for the house.

Janet Evanovich
Adult Fiction EVANOVI
Summary: Read the Dynamite Blockbuster that Started It All! Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems (since losing her job as a lingerie buyer for a department store). Stephanie needs cash--fast--but times are tough, and soon she's forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family. Stephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie's bail bonding company. She's got no experience. But that doesn't matter. Neither does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got into her pants to the time Steph hit him with her father's Buick, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water--wanted for murder. Abject poverty is a great motivator for learning new skills, but being trained in the school of hard knocks by people like psycho prizefighter Benito Ramirez isn't. Still, if Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she'll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight--and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man.

August 25, 2010
2 p.m. - 3 p.m.
Office of Health Information Technology (OHIT):
Bala Hota opened the meeting at 2:05 p.m.
Peter Eckart asked for additional clarification about the charge of the subcommittee. Bala Hota suggested the subcommittee needed additional definition from OHIT regarding their deliverables. Patricia Cunningham (not in attendance) was asked to provide a more detailed scope of what the subcommittee should pursue, in the short and long term, at the next meeting.
Krysta Heaney provided an update on public health related topics from the August 16, 2010, ILHIE Technology and Interoperability Work Group meeting; that Work Group has requested Public Health to identify their desired transmission standards for public health data.
There was a discussion about the relationship and coordination between the various Work Groups of the ILHIE Advisory Committee.
Mary Driscoll provided an update from the Public Health Use Case Subcommittee meeting (August 25, 2010); the subcommittee has selected immunizations as its first use case. Bala Hota asked about the readiness of the state system to receive immunization messaging. Judy Kauerauf explained that the state system was capable of receiving immunization messaging; however there were functional product/system limitations on the provider side. Illinois is currently working to test messaging with Wisconsin. Although there appears to be some limitations, Bala Hota reported that there was substantial interest within the provider community and increasing interest among the informatics community for immunization messaging/exchange.
The subcommittee hopes to focus future discussions on: 1) how data is transmitted to public health via the ILHIE; 2) recommend standards for data storage; 3) recommend how knowledge bases are developed; and 4) identify specific use cases, with attention given to how the scope of those use cases may change over time.
The next meeting was tentatively scheduled for September 8, 2010.
Meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m.

Olly smith - Live, Mail on Sunday 22/01/2012
A classic to decant. When the weather's lashing outside, a glass of Port is your personal insulation system, operating one glass at a time. Fantastic with a slice or two of stilton of course, or, with its sweet, luxuriant, spicy flavours, as a glass after dinner. Try it with a good book or - my personal favourite - an episode of The Sopranos
Jamie Goode - S Magazine (Sunday Express) 22/07/2012
Of the 1994 vintage, Jamie Goode said: "A proper vintage port, this is expensive but well worth splashing the cash. While it has faded a little in colour over 18 years, it's become mellow, sophisticated and smooth with tasty cherry and plum flavours."
Victoria Moore - The Daily Telegraph 15/12/2012
Of the 1994 vintage, Victoria Moore said: "Another Symington family Port, this time a cut-price vintage under Tesco own label."
Jancis Robinson - Financial Times 22/12/2012
Of the 1994 vintage, Jancis Robinson said: "Treacle and dried herbs and lots of throat-soothing stuff. A little harsher than a great vintage port but it's a seriously silly price. Apparently Tesco selected this years ago, and the Syms keep supplying new shipments."
Port is produced in the mountainous Douro Valley in northern Portugal. The Douro Valley was the world's first demarcated wine region (1756). Port takes its name from the city of Porto where the wines are matured.
Peter Symington
It's a region of extremes, long hot summers alternate with cold winters and a low average rainfall. The terrain is rugged, the vines planted in schist soil under terraces because of the very steep slopes. Grape yields are amongst the lowest of any major wine-producing region in the world, but as elsewhere, low quantity translates into very high quality.
