Implementing powerful and flexible login scripts!
At work we've always had separate login scripts for each user. However, we recently changed that to use a login script that checks for group membership. We used the "Implementing powerful and flexible login scripts!" and it works great.
If You Think You're Anonymous Online, Think Again
I'm a little behind in my podcasts, but today I listened to a Fresh Air broadcast from 6 weeks ago about all the data that online services know about you.
Investigative reporter Julia Angwin was curious what Google knew about her, so she asked the company for her search data. "It turns out I had been doing about 26,000 Google searches a month … and I was amazed at how revealing they were," she tells Fresh Air's Dave Davies.
From NSA sweeps to commercial services scraping our Web browsing habits, to all kinds of people tracking us through our smartphones, Angwin says we've become a society where indiscriminate data-gathering has become the norm. Angwin has covered online privacy issues for years, and in her new book she describes what she did to try to escape the clutches of data scrapers, even to the point of creating a fake identity.
"I want all the benefits of the information society; all I was trying to do is mitigate some of the risk," she says.
Angwin's book is called Dragnet Nation: A Quest for Privacy, Security and Freedom in a World of Relentless Surveillance. She considers dragnets — which she describes as "indiscriminate" and "vast in scope" — the "most unfair type of surveillance."
If you are interested in this sort of thing, I highly recommend that you listen to the podcast
A few great links from ghacks
I follow the ghacks blog, and over the last few weeks, there have been several sites that I've booked mark. Rather than take any credit for finding these sites and/or programs, please click through to the ghacks website to read the original postings
- Zero Install: portable app catalog software for multi-user systems
- MediaTab adds media information to Windows Explorer's Properties window
- DUMo scans your system for hardware driver updates
- tinyMediaManager is an excellent cross-platform media manager
- TinyTask is probably the smallest automation tool for Windows
Give Easy Context Menu a try
Ghacks recently posted some information about a program called Easy Context Menu that lets you put all sorts of options in a context (right-click) menu. It looks interesting. I'm going to give it a try…
Turn yourself into a cartoon with Fiverr
I'm guessing that many of you have heard of Fiverr. This is an online marketplace where you can have almost anything done for $5. People are offering to proofread/edit documents, type transcripts, and more. I'm a bit of a fan of online avatars, and I recently heard about someone on Fiverr who would draw you as a Simpson's character. I thought it looked very nice, but I don't really watch the Simpson's, so it got me thinking about what other cartoons might be available. I found someone who would draw a character (no particular style) and someone who would draw a Tim Burton style character.
I ended up deciding on someone who would draw you as a LEGO character. I did one for each of my kids and they look fantastic!
Unlocking PDFs
A few weeks ago I posted some links to some websites that help you with various PDF operations (merging, splitting, unlocking, etc). I tried to use the unlocking one recently. I have a PDF that I wanted to print so I didn't have to sit at the computer. The PDF was protected and I couldn't print it. I tried to use the unlocking service mentioned, but since the file was over 5 MB (it was 7 MB), it was going to cost $4.99. I found another service that seems to do the job. It is free and supports PDFs up to 200MB in size.

Fast USB flash drives?
I'm looking to get a good USB flash drive. I've had cheap ones, but they just aren't fast enough. I've looked at the SanDisk Extreme 64 GB USB 3 drive. It was on sale for $56.99 around Christmas, and I was hoping to pick one up, but when I went to order one a couple of days later, the price had gone up to $86. I hate it when that happens.
SanDisk also has a "slower" model, the SanDisk Cruzer 64 GB USB Flash Drive, which is slower and is still $47.
Of well, I picked up a Lexar JumpDrive S70 32GB USB Flash Drive for a decent price recently to keep me going until I can get a high capacity drive.
For PC Makers, the Good News on 2013 Is That It Is Over
From the New York Times:
The two leading analysis companies tracking the PC industry just delivered their reports on the fourth quarter of 2013, and it was bad.
Gartner had worldwide PC shipments for the quarter at 82.6 million units, a drop of 6.9 percent on the number a year ago. It was the seventh consecutive quarterly decline, Gartner said. IDC put the figure at 82.2 million units, a drop of just 5.6 percent, and less bad than the 6 percent the firm had earlier expected.
XBMC – Open Source Media Centre
Today I just heard about XBMC, an open source media centre. It looks pretty cool. I'll have to check it out!
XBMC is an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub that can be installed on Linux, OSX, Windows, iOS, and Android, featuring a 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. It allows users to play and view most videos, music, podcasts, and other digital media files from local and network storage media and the internet.
Accessories for my Samsung Galaxy S4
A couple of months ago I got a new Samsung Galaxy S4. I love it, and have recently been looking for some accessories. I'm looking to get a cable that will let me have video out to a TV, as well as something that will let me connect a USB device to the phone. I haven't purchased one yet, but this is what I've come across:

A$AP Ferg, Bodega BAMZ, the Underachievers, and the Flatbush Zombies
Hip-hop is having a renaissance right now in the city of New York, where it seems like every other day a new MC rises up out of the five boroughs with an even more unique style and approach to the music than what we thought was possible before. Motley crews like the A$AP Mob, the Beast Coast, and World's Fair have given us a reason to love rhymes again. We've written a lot about this stuff, but sometimes words don't do it justice. So, we've linked up with scene insider Verena Stefanie Grotto to document the new New York movement as it happens in real time, with intimate shots of rappers, scenesters, artists, and fashion fiends.
For this installment, Verena caught up with A$AP Ferg, Marty Balla, the Underachievers, and Bodega BAMZ. She then shot photos of the Flatbush Zombies during their headlining set on Brooklyn's Summer Stage, where she came across a mysterious pile of one-dollar bills.

Introduction and Overview
Exercise science is the study of physiological and functional adaptations to movement. The field is richly interdisciplinary, involving such disciplines as anatomy, chemistry, biology, physiology, biomechanics, exercise prescription, psychology, nutrition, and injury management. Rigorous and systematic study of these disciplines enables students to understand how and why people move and the factors which limit and enhance our capacity to move.
The exercise science major at St. Olaf is designed for students interested in the advanced and specialized study of the biophysical aspects of exercise. The major supports academic linkages across disciplines and provides excellent preparation in a wide variety of fields. It also prepares students for entry into graduate school in one of the disciplines related to exercise science (such as physical therapy and rehabilitation, biomechanics, nutrition, exercise physiology, sports medicine, chiropractics, cardiac rehabilitation). It is recommended that this major be complemented by other majors or concentrations of interest to the student; the Biomedical Studies Concentration or Neuroscience Concentration may be of particular interest.
The major introduces students to the principles and methods of exercise science. The following goals will be met within the framework of this major:
- It provides students with a broad introductory exposure to the field of exercise science.
- It presents students with an array of theories, findings, techniques, and equipment used in exercise science.
- It requires students to integrate material from several disciplines.
- It challenges students to think critically and to communicate effectively in the areas of physiology, mechanics, fitness, health, and training – thus enabling them to be more richly engaged citizens in a complex world.
- It prepares students for graduate-level study and research in a wide range of sub-disciplines (biomechanics, exercise physiology, physical therapy, athletic training, nutrition, etc.)
The senior capstone course provides an integration and synthesis of all material.

Batter up! Spring training is underway across the valley. But a Seattle Mariners pitcher wasn't sure he would be able to play after serious brain surgery.
It's hard to believe this young ball player was at death's door.
Anthony Vasquez plays for the Mariners. His symptoms started with headaches and vision problems, slowing down his pitches.
"I knew something was going on and it wasn't good," he says.
Vasquez didn't know it at the time but a blood vessel burst in his brain and it was leaking. It was life threatening.
"Surgery wasn't too crazy, especially when you have something going on in your head, there wasn't too many options," he says.
The next day he was on an operating table at Barrow Neurological Institute. Dr. Robert Spetzler, a major league player in his own profession, took a portion of his skull and repaired it. It took 5 and a half hours -- a very difficult surgery.
"They are in a sense like a bomb and you have to take off hundreds of little wires, anyone of them can create a problem," said Dr. Robert Spetzler.
Three months later Vasquez is back with the team, but he's still rehabbing. Still, he feels like he's ready to play ball.
"It is frustrating to see guys fired up and ready to go and I am on the sideline. It's part of the game."
He hopes to get a second chance with the Mariners, but more important he has a second chance at life.
Vasquez has not been cleared to play yet, but he is grateful to have been here in Arizona and have a doctor like Robert Spetzler at Barrow Neurological Institute.

But anyway. . . back to the organization! To get started, I went through the entire collection and cleaned house a bit. I sorted through all of my stickers and I donated the really uncool, outdated stickers to someone that had a use for them. I also trimmed some of the larger sticker sheets to create a more uniform feel to the collection. I have a TON of stickers that I have earned from Highlights Magazine. You guys know what I'm talking about. I used the highlights sticker sheets as my reference-the pages all measure to be 5x8". All sticker sheets larger than the highlights pages were trimmed to a smaller size.
Next, I found a box that was the right size for holding all of my newly-tidied stickers. The best thing I could find was a men's shoebox. It was gray and boring, but that was ok-I had a plan! I wanted my sticker box to match my classroom decor so I decoupaged the box with the scraps from when I Fancied Up my Sterlite Drawers.
As you can see, I cut the scrapbook paper into strips, then glued them to the shoebox with Mod Podge. The next day, I sprayed the newly-decorated box with clear acrylic spray to ensure a good seal.
Once the box was ready to go, I filled it with my organized stickers. I created my own dividers with poster board cut into 8.5x5" sections. The top 1/2 inch of the poster board pieces was designated for creating tabs. My wonderful friend Nicki labeled all of the tabs for me. I placed seasons of the year in front (ordered chronologically from Fall to Summer), followed by an alphabetical arrangement of non-seasonal themes (animals, reading, smiley faces, etc.)
This shoebox had a few inches to spare after I filled it with my sticker collection, so I added a some fun flair to the back of the box. I'm so thrilled with the final product!

Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
This is my latest project.I've been working on the beast for about three and half months. It's made out of automobile transmission parts, electrical conduit, pipe, rod and sheet steel It's about 36 inches high and 36 inches long and weighs about 80 to 90 pounds. It's definitely the heaviest sculpture I've made so far and it's also the most dangerous. It's almost crushed my hand twice.
I made the elephant to fit into the "Timmy" universe http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=117055
My thinking is that it would act as a forklift, lifting loads with its tusks and holding them in place with it's trunk.
All the joints move and lock in place, turning a gear on the elephant's side winds a cable around a shaft which raises and lowers the trunk and the ears move back and forth and can fan out (to dissipate heat).
I realize the last shot is a bit goofy, I did it to show the elephant's range of motion.
All feedback is good, let me know what you think.

Wow... After the slender giraffes, the weightlifter elephants.
How is the Timmy project going?
The poseablility is amazing! Wow.
That really is very cool bravo!
I would love to see someone standing next to it to get a sense of scale. Maybe you could photo shop yourself in there so it looks life size! That might be fun.

Hi again,
Thanks for all the great comments and feedback.
conceptzaholic10-"lol you do anymore stuff like this" yes I do have more stuff, I wrote and illustrated a book called "Timmy" and posted a bunch of images in this thread
I'm starting on a second book and the elephant will be a character in it.
Leo Ki-"How is the Timmy project going?" No luck so far
Bai Fan-"would love to see someone standing next to it to get a sense of scale"Thanks, I'm working on it
spookybabydoll- "I wild to see some wip pictures if you can." sure, I'll post some later today.
Clochette- "It reminds me the Sultan elephant parade" Yes, I've seen them. They were a huge inspiration to me.
Hazart- "I wish I could use this for out bands promo cd cover. " No problem, your welcome to use them for a promo cd cover. If you get signed,send me some money.
Thanks again to everyone who posted, I really appreciate the encouragement and hey, if you hate the thing, I'd like to hear from you too
Some WIP shots for spookybabydoll
These are a couple pictures of my first try. Bad, very bad. Legs were too tall, the head was too small and poorly shaped and the trunk was too long
Here's my second try, still bad. The body's a bit better but still wrong. As I figured out later, the shoulders and hips should be about halfway up the body, not at the top. Also, the head is still too small and weird looking. Over all, it looks too much like a dog.
I finally swallowed my pride and found some good reference material, this drawing was a huge help in figuring out how an elephant is stuck together.
Third try, it's finally staring to look somewhat pachydermey. Head and hips are too low though
Fixed the head, not happy with the hips, and the ears are starting to look wrong as well.
Fixed most of the issues, overall I'm pretty happy. if I made another one I'd add more bulk above the hips and shoulders. Also, the trunk isn't as flexible as I'd like it to be so I'd change the trunk segment pivot points from the bottom of the trunk to the middle. Also I'd add universal joints to the neck to allow it to rotate and turn from side to side.
Let me know if you want to see anything else
Dude! You should do a stop-motion animation of this thing... Fantastic work!
Kab is right. That would be awesome.
It's always good to try it yourself, get frustrated and then look up the reference.
So is it a Metallephant? Sorry, had to.
nice work man;
good study of things.

We have had the pleasure of working with Kyle since his newborn session. We've seen him 3 more times, as part of our Busy Bee program. Now he's taking a few steps, and he is raring to go! We met the parents at the beach for our first outdoor session. We hit our favorite spot at La Jolla beach, and most babies have a hard time with either the feel of the sand, or the roar and splash of the ocean. Not Kyle!! He wanted to go get in that water – and the sand, apparently was good enough to eat!! We'll miss this family, as they're moving to Hawaii this month . . . we do have suitcases, tho!

Such beautiful pictures of beautiful people!
I am biased though, that's my grandson! Thanks for the beautiful pics over the last year…I have my grandma brag books and love them!
Thanks, Sandy – we'll miss them. Watching them grow is definitely a perk with this job! Glad you like your brag books, too! (Rumor has it there's another on the way!)

Tasty recipes for the great outdoors!
This pork tenderloin recipe gets its zip from an easy-to-make dry rub that's applied to the meat before grilling. The modified barbecue sauce is just the right consistency for dipping. (For a milder version, omit the hot sauce.)
Our grilled pork tenderloin is guaranteed to be moist and tender, and its delicious sweet and savory glaze does double duty as a dipping sauce.
These custom-made grilled dinners let everyone in the family be a chef.
Succulent shrimp and spicy andouille sausage team up with sweet onion, tomatoes, and okra for a delicious dish that tastes like gumbo but doesn't take hours to cook.
Here's a tasty twist on fajitas that replaces hard-to-find skirt steak with equally appetizing pork tenderloin.
This Asian-inspired recipe straight out of food editor Ken Haedrich's kitchen may be the perfect cookout finger food.
Set out a big dish of these roly-poly, bread crumb-topped armadillos, and it won't be long before you hear a chorus of "Please pass the potatoes!"
In this version of a cookout classic, pesto adds a savory, garden-fresh flavor to extra juicy chicken burgers.
Satay is an excellent dish for introducing kids to the flavors of the East. These skewers of grilled marinated beef and the spicy-sweet peanut dipping sauce have kid appeal from every angle.
These Moroccan Chicken Kebobs are prepared with a dry rub that deliciously combines cinnamon and cloves.
Four simple but flavorful ingredients bring out the best in shrimp, and all in a matter of minutes. Serve the skewers with grilled asparagus and orzo for a light, fresh, healthful Italian meal.
Any cowboy can tell you that it takes more than meat and marshmallows to make a campfire meal. Here's a side dish perfect for rounding out the menu.
This was the sort of spiffed-up burger a guy can actually prepare without gourmet credentials.
A quick and healthy variation of an American favorite.
These delicious fajitas have a unique fusion of Asian and Mexican flavors making this a dinner your family is sure to remember.
This satay's appeal is easy to understand: tender, grilled meat dunked in the most delicious peanut sauce and served with a sweet, salty cucumber relish. What's not to love?
This cookout side dish combines grilled new potatoes — the first tiny red potatoes of the season — and a yogurt-sour-cream dip.
This recipe is a spicy alternative to the more traditional turkey burger. Healthy and delicious, these Asian-style turkey burgers will satisfy those who crave the spicy!
This simple skewer recipe is perfect for shrimp lovers!
Seasoned with spiced butter, this grilled corn makes plain boiled corn pale in comparison. Plus, your kids will think it's really cool to cook the ears right in their husks.
This family favorite requires a two-step process, but it goes fast. First you grill the vegetables and shrimp, and then you use them to prepare the quesadillas and a quick batch of salsa.
It's fun for kids to nibble these tender meatballs straight from the skewer or slide them off and wrap them in Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves along with slivers of cucumber, shredded carrots, and sprigs of fresh cilantro or mint.
Ham steaks are great campfire fare because they're precooked, so you essentially need only to heat them through.
This superb salmon recipe is simply sensational.
This colorful and delicious grilled-steak-and-veggies salad makes a light but satisfying summertime dinner.
A sweet glaze of soy sauce, sake, and the Japanese cooking wine mirin coats these tender chunks of chicken. Thigh meat is preferable because it stands up better to high-heat grilling.
Here's a delicious Tex-Mex spin on tostadas made with marinated grilled chicken.
This versatile dinner dish is a great idea for outdoor cooking, camping, or just a delicious meal anytime.
In this recipe, half the marinade is used to flavor the meat and vegetables. The other half is whisked with peanut butter to create a tasty dipping sauce -- a fun job that kids can lend a hand with.
These mini quesadillas are best enjoyed while they're still warm - which gives your child the chance to play party host, walking around with a serving tray of savory appetizers he helped make.
This hearty and flavorful turkey burger will be a big hit with the whole family!

Summer is the season for scammers in Minnesota, and a St. Paul couple says they narrowly avoided being taken for a ride by a door-to-door driveway sealer.
Experts say door-to-door offers often involve watered-down chemicals or substandard materials that shouldn't be used at all. For an average person who answers the door, shady service providers may deliver a dud and get away with a few hundred bucks -- but if an elderly person is inside, they could be out thousands.
It should cost a couple hundred bucks to have a driveway properly sealed, but one metro couple was charged more than $8,000 for shoddy work.
"You feel so stupid and you're embarrassed," Opal Kuehn admitted.
Opal and Bob Kuehn have spent 53 years living in their St. Paul home, but they'd never had an experience quite like the one they did a couple weeks ago.
The Kuehns said it all began when a person claiming to be associated with a company that could do the work insisted they needed to have their driveway sealed. When the work was done, Opal was approached for a payment of $8,640.
After some squabbling, Opal Kuehns wrote a check for $7,000 -- but she didn't feel good about it.
"I didn't know," she said. "I didn't know."
Thinking she may have been taken for a ride, she called the police. Soon after, she got another call.
"The bank calls and said, 'Do you want to cash it?'" she recalled. "We said, 'No!'"
Nick Kelso, of Jet Black, was called into help fix the mess left behind.
"I saw it right after the fact, after it dried," he told FOX 9 News. "It had partially washed away and blobs all over -- it had splattered up on concrete. It definitely wasn't sealant. It was another oil product of some sort."
With help from Blue Dawg Power Wash, Jet Black fixed and sealed the driveway for free.
"This happens way too often and it amazes me who they target," Kelso told FOX 9 News.
According to Kelso, disreputable dealers go up and down neighborhoods looking for driveways to fix this time of year.
"The best bet is if an elderly person answers the door, they got a chance there to pull something off," he warned.
The Kuehns say they feel fortunate the check didn't get cashed and a company was willing to help them out. Now, they hope everyone learns a lesson from their experience.
"If it doesn't seem right, it's not right," Opal Kuehn said.
Kelso told FOX 9 News he tried to check out the company that contacted the Kuehns, calling several times but getting no response. He said they had a pretty generic name and did not believe they are local.
He also shared some advice, urging people to avoid walk-up sellers unless they have a recognizable name -- or if you can look them up online before you buy. Generally, he says the best approach is for the customer to seek out the job than the other way around.

A Great All-Around SUV by Cheryl on 01/25/2012. Trim: 2010 Chevrolet HHR 2LT, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Just bought this SUV a few months ago, used, and love it. I have put 3 or 4 teenagers and 2 labrador retrievers in it and still had room to store beach gear or picnic supplies. The under floor storage is great to hide all the stuff the dogs would otherwise snack on while we are on the road. MPG is running 25 city32-25 hwy for me. Ive hauled everything from siding for my house to sod for my yard and never lacked for room with the fold-flat seats.
Cons: Need to have a redesign on the cupholders in the front. It never fails to turn on the rear wiper when I put my travel coffee mug in the cup holder if the HHR is in park. Backing up is a little dicey also as the range of vision in the blindspot is larger than I'm used to.
Overall review: Overall I would rate this a solid 9.9. I'm just a bit unhappy with the amenities for the driver-side and the blindspots. But I guess a smaller coffee cup and wide-view mirrors will take care of most of my problems.

Faith leaders speak in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-affirming Methodist gathering in North Carolina
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
Methodist meeting on Sept. 2-5 may be target of protest by Georgia-based Ku Klux Klan chapter and other anti-LGBT groups
'In contrast to the anti-Christian hatred and bigotry of anti-gay demonstrators, more than 500 pro-gay people of faith gathering in Lake Junaluska will shine a beacon of love, inclusion and dignity for all the world to see.' — National Religious Leadership Roundtable member the Rev. Steven Baines, an ordained elder in the Disciples of Christ denomination
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 — Reconciling Ministries Network, which advocates for full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the United Methodist Church, will hold its bi-annual convocation titled Hearts on Fire at Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center in North Carolina on Sept. 2-5. A Georgia-based chapter of the Ku Klux Klan, along with several other anti-LGBT groups, has planned to protest the event, even posting a Web site called "Queers on Fire." The following are statements by members of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force National Religious Leadership Roundtable, an interfaith network of leaders from LGBT-affirming faith organizations:
"We're coming to Lake Junaluska confident of our place in the United Methodist Church," said the Rev. Troy Plummer, a Roundtable member and executive director of the Reconciling Ministries Network. "Although anti-gay forces have objected to the event, we've received many letters and messages of thanks for bringing a positive focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender inclusion to churches in this area. We look forward to this time of rest and renewal in the presence of our fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and LGBT-affirming Christians."
Roundtable members called on local law enforcement officials to ensure that convocation participants are allowed to gather safely for prayer, worship and fellowship, without threats or interruption from extremists.
Said the Rev. Cedric Harmon, a Roundtable member and minister in the mostly African-American Missionary Baptist denomination: "All homophobia, even that which is based on 'deeply-held religious belief,' sprouts from the same root of hatred and fear of difference that underlies all racial, ethnic, religious and social discrimination. The presence of the Klan joining the forces against gay-inclusive Methodism shows that those who oppose the work of Reconciling Ministries are on the wrong side of history."
The Rev. Steven Baines, a Roundtable member and ordained elder in the Disciples of Christ denomination, said, "In contrast to the anti-Christian hatred and bigotry of anti-gay demonstrators, more than 500 pro-gay people of faith gathering in Lake Junaluska will shine a beacon of love, inclusion and dignity for all the world to see. Their courageous witness of grace and compassion to all of God's children will outshine those who speak from places of ignorance and fear."
First convened in 1998, the National Religious Leadership Roundtable of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is an interfaith collaboration of more than forty denominations and faith-related organizations. The Roundtable seeks to reframe the public religious dialogue on issues involving the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community by amplifying the voices of LGBT-affirming people of faith, countering religious voices of bigotry and intolerance, and working to advance full equality for all.
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

I understand very little Spanish, so I don't understand the text. But I love the music, the voice and the rendering of the song.

Single-family homes and multi-family homes up to four units will receive the carts, which have wheels and an attached lid. The real key is the metal lift bar, which allows the City to move to semi-automated trash collection.
In semi-automation, workers won't be manually lifting and dumping trash anymore. Instead, they'll roll the cart over to the truck, which has a mechanical flipper arm. The mechanical arm does all the heavy lifting and dumping. For comparison, recycling is already collected through a semi-automated system in Cincinnati.
"By implementing standardized trash carts, Cincinnati joins cities across America that have seen tangible benefits to modernizing their trash collection systems," said Cincinnati City Manager Milton Dohoney, Jr.
Delivery will take about 5 months, following the planned schedule:
Monday April
Tuesday May
Wednesday June
Thursday July
Friday August
Each eligible household will receive only one cart, but they can swap for a larger or smaller size depending on what they need. Citizens should try their new cart for two weeks before swapping for another size.
The City also plans to have Trash Amnesty Weeks around certain holidays, so that citizens can set out more holiday-related trash than fits inside their cart without penalty.
Visit www.cincinnati-oh.gov/trash for more details about the program, including Important Trash Dos and Don'ts.

Shih Tzu
Chinese Lion Dog, Chrysanthemum DogFamily: Canidae Canis lupus familiarisPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy Justin Brough
The Shih Tzu is an ornamental toy breed, known for its beauty and happy disposition.
Shih Tzu dog is one of the oldest small dog breeds. They are also called the Chinese Lion Dog, and described as an is an ornamental toy dog breed. They are spunky, loyal, and friendly. They are very attractive, admired for the long hair of their coat. They make both a wonderful show dogs and an excellent companion.
The Shih Tzu is a small dog breed that is basically an indoor pet. It doesn't require a large amount of space and it doesn't need a yard. This makes it great for apartment living. As with most toy breeds, the Shih Tzu can be very vocal, but training can reduce indoor barking. Things to look for when choosing a Shih Tzu include eye, ear, and respiratory problems.
Shih Tzu Facts
Report Broken Video
Shih Tzu Facts: Tiny Wolves
Common Name(s) Shih Tzu, Chinese Lion Dog, Chrysanthemum Dog, Chinese Shih Tzu
Breed Type The Shih Tzu is an ornamental toy breed, and one of the oldest dog breeds in the world. Known for its beauty and happy disposition, the Shih Tzu is best suited to moderate to cool climates.
Background The Shih Tzu is thought to have originated in the seventh century in China. A prized breed, it was not exported to other countries until the 1900s. The Shih Tzu may have been bred from the Lhasa Apso and the Pekingese. Today, Shih Tzus are often crossbred with Poodles, Bichon Frises, and Maltese.
Description Shih Tzus are known for their small size and long hair. They have short muzzles, large, usually dark eyes, and small ears that are covered with hair. The 'Apron; is a term used to describe the long hair on the dog's chest and a 'Pot Hook Tail' is a term used to describes the breed's tail, which is held in an arc.
Shih Tzus can be found in a variety of colors, all of which are acceptable for show purposes. Average height is about 11 inches, and average weight is 9-16 pounds.
Care and Feeding A Shih Tzu's diet should include high levels of animal fat and low levels of protein. Good food options include poultry, soy, and rice. Care should be taken not to overfeed, and teeth cleaning chews can be beneficial.
Shih Tzus require lots of brushing, and their hair is usually tied in a topknot if left long. The hair may be trimmed shorter for easier care, but this should not be done with show dogs. Teeth require special care and observation. Some Shih Tzu owners have their dewclaws removed, but this is optional.
Shih Tzus are usually fairly healthy, but yearly checkups are advised. Vaccinations should be administered on the following schedule:
- 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
- 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
- 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
- Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster
Due to the Shih Tzu's frequent respiratory problems, it is advisable to keep their environment as dust-free as possible. They shed very little hair and dander.
Housing Your Dog The Shih Tzu is an indoor dog, and does not require a large amount of space or a yard. They are sensitive to high temperatures, so they should be kept inside with the air conditioning on during hot weather.
Social Behaviors Shih Tzus are friendly dogs, and tend to get along well with most people. They usually do well around well-behaved children and other pets of all types.
Handling and Training The Shih Tzu is somewhat stubborn, so training requires patience and consistency. They may be difficult to housebreak.
Activities Shih Tzus are playful and active, and they need to be walked daily. They enjoy playing with dog toys, and like to go outside without a leash every now and then.
Breeding/Reproduction Eye, ear, and respiratory problems are things to consider when looking for a mate to breed a Shih Tzu with. Litters usually consist of three to five puppies, and whelping is usually uncomplicated unless the mother is small.
Common Health Problems Potential health problems include ear, eye, and respiratory problems, as well as spinal disc disease. This breed also has a tendency toward dental problems, so its teeth should be checked regularly by a veterinarian.
Availability Due to the Shih Tzu's popularity, breeders can be found in most areas. Prices range from $300 to over $1,000.

Ecuador is truly unique. There are many places around the world where you can find cheap land, Ecuador included. But in many of those places, you'd lead an uncomfortable life, far from friends and family and disconnected from the rest of the world. Not so in Ecuador.
The tropical coast of Ecuador is one of International Living's hotspots. It's diverse, it's beautiful, it's largely undeveloped, and, best of all, it's overlooked. You can still buy a beachfront home here for $50,000.
Learn more about Ecuador and other countries in our daily postcard e-letter. We'll also send you a free report- Ecuador: Live Like Royalty on Half Your Social Security.
This special guide covers covers real estate, retirement and more in Ecuador and is yours free when you sign up for our postcards.

Baños, Ecuador: Hot Springs, Waterfalls, and Miracle Cures
She's a wanton woman with a feather beneath her skirt, cause for her constant state of libidinous arousal. Men and women alike are smitten with her overpowering beauty and limitless energy. But she has a temper, this one. When her flirtations are not returned, her anger boils and she quite literally blows her top like nothing you've ever seen.
Pacific-Coast Buys for a Fraction of the U.S. Price
Warm and sunny days…beautiful people lounging on the sand as surfers vie for choice waves… palm tree-lined boardwalks in picturesque beachside towns, dramatic craggy cliffs…the California coast has certainly captured the popular imagination. No wonder; it's one of the most pleasant places in the world to live. But on the flip side, it also has some of the most expensive real estate in the world and a high cost of living.
Fall in Love with Jungle Life in Tena, Ecuador
Toucans and macaws glide around the lush jungle canopy and scores of monkeys parade through the overhanging branches. Neon-green and electric-blue butterflies of preposterous sizes flit across gurgling streams, while waterfalls drop into deep pools. Welcome to one of my favorites among Ecuador's secret spots…a place hidden in the east of the country, where indigenous shamans still perform timeless rituals and a small number of adventurous expats have found new lives surrounded by nature.
Buy in Ecuador's Most Popular Beach Town for as Little as $60,000…
Picture waking up to the sound of the Pacific Ocean crashing against the rocks outside, the sun bursting through your windows, warming your skin, and the fresh, clean, salt air filling your lungs as you step onto your balcony to survey the scene below.
Ten Tips for Renting a Home Overseas
When moving abroad, renting a place to stay is an attractive option that offers a lot of advantages, whether you're headed to Costa Rica, Malaysia, France, Mexico, Ecuador, Ireland…or any country. If you plan to buy or build a home eventually, renting allows you to investigate a region and/or community…or several…before you put down roots. You don't want to be stuck in a neighborhood, region, or home you don't like.
Get into Emerging Markets This Year
If you want to increase your future returns while reducing your risk, you should add some emerging-market stocks to your portfolio. It may surprise you that adding riskier, emerging-market assets to a portfolio will reduce overall risk, but it shouldn't. These markets do not move in lockstep with the U.S. market, which hit a series of all-time highs in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Discovering Ibarra—Ecuador's "White City"
I had just polished off an al fresco meal at an Argentine steakhouse with my family, and was relaxing to the mingling sounds of several street musicians, when the bill arrived. Though I've been in Ecuador for some time, I still suffer from reverse sticker shock. A similar meal for four at a restaurant of the same caliber in the U.S. runs well over $100.
Best Places to Own Premium Water Views for Less than $150,000
In Mexico, Ecuador and Costa Rica properties with stunning views can be bought for as little as $119,000, according to a new report by InternationalLiving.com. "A great view usually translates into a premium price tag. But if a buyer knows the right places to look, he can find properties with world-class vistas for much, much less than you'd expect," reports InternationalLiving.com's property correspondent, Margaret Summerfield.
Properties with Premium Views for Less than $150,000
This west-coast destination in Mexico hit the headlines in 1963. John Huston filmed part of Night of the Iguana in Vallarta. The world's press descended on the town to follow the romance between Richard Burton, a star in the movie, and Elizabeth Taylor. Many viewers simply wanted the real skinny on the famous Hollywood stars. But others were grabbed by Vallarta's colonial architecture and sun-drenched beaches. Tourists and expats started to flock to this little fishing village. Today, around 50,000 North Americans live in Vallarta…
This Ecuadorian "Eco-Valley" Won't Stay Undiscovered for Long…
This thick cover acts as one of the few remaining intact habitats for elusive pumas, jaguars, and other smaller felines. The endangered spectacled bear also calls the Intag home along with hundreds of varieties of exotic birds. As the condor flies, this cloud forest valley is not far from the market town of Otavalo. In fact, it's only 35 miles away by road. But for years now that one-and-only road has been a narrow, mountain-hugging dirt track accessible only from the towns of Otavalo or Cotacachi.
Latin American Mountain Homes from $138,000
For many, Latin America conjures up images of steamy, wildlife-filled jungles and beautiful people lounging on tropical beaches, sipping umbrella-bedecked drinks. But there's a whole other side to Latin America…regions where temperate—even cool—climates and jaw-dropping vistas of snow-covered volcanos are the order of the day.
The REAL Cost of a Good Life in Ecuador
For three days now, I've been telling you that in Ecuador, you can have it all…but at what price? What must you give up to make a good life here? International Living is, at times, accused of seeing the world through rose-colored glasses…of overlooking the bad and omitting the blemishes. If you've been here in Quito the past few days, I doubt you'd agree with that.
Five Spots Where You Can Find Premium Views for Less than $150,000
A great view usually translates into a premium price tag. But you can afford a home with stunning vistas if know the right place to look. For example, I know of one Pacific coast town where a beachfront condo with Californian-style ocean views and a similar lifestyle will only set you back $119,000. You'd need at least three times that to get close to the beach in California.
The Valley Lifestyle—Just One Hour from Cuenca, Ecuador
Yunguilla is a long valley that begins just south of Cuenca and ends near the seaport city of Machala. Its elevation ranges from about 7,000 feet near Cuenca down to 4,500 feet at the Santa Isabel side (closest to Machala on the coast). At its highest point, Yunguilla is 1,500 feet lower than Cuenca, which translates to a warmer climate and very short rainy season. Since the valley is oriented east-west, it gets direct sunshine all day long.
The Best Places to Buy Real Estate When You Retire Overseas
Whether you are looking for a home on the coast, on an island or in a colonial city, these three countries have the best value real estate. If your dream home includes a pool, a big back yard in which to swing from a hammock in the sun, a place close to the beach where you can snorkel, relax with a good book or watch the sunset…rest assured, you can have it—because your real estate dollar stretches further overseas. You can buy a superior property in a better location for the same amount or less than you would spend on a home in the U.S.
Sun, Sand and Good Living in Ecuador's Top Beach Town
Outside the window of the condo I was renting, two huge pelicans sat nodding in the sun. Or so it seemed. Because in an instant, and in perfect synchronicity, they leapt from their perch, pulled in their wings, and dove headfirst to the emerald water below. No small feat since we were 20 floors up. Hmm, I wondered, what's for dinner? Because, as the pelicans know, these waters are rich with a choice of seafood or every kind.
Small-Town Beach Life in Ecuador
Crucita is about 40 minutes north of Manta, Ecuador's largest coastal city. But while Manta is big and busy and full of shopping and social opportunities, Crucita is the opposite. It's a little fishing village with a produce market, a fish market, but no supermarket… You can get eggs, bread, beer, toilet paper, soap and other necessities of life at some of the local mom-and-pop shops, but for anything more exotic than that, you'll need to go to Manta or the closer town of Portoviejo.
"Beach Condo or City House in Ecuador? We Can Afford Both"
I'm typing this from the comfort of a lawn chair on the patio of my house in Quito. It's early December and even though Quito is moving into winter, today is warm and sunny. Quito, Ecuador's capital (a UNESCO World Heritage site), sits on the spine of the Andes nestled between two mountain ranges and several ice-capped volcanoes. The climate is mild, with high temperatures in the 70s and lows of around 50.
Two of Ecuador's Best Coastal Towns
If there were ever two towns that complement one another perfectly, they would be Montañita and Olòn on the coast of Ecuador. About an hour north along the coast from Salinas—one of Ecuador's best-known and most popular beach destinations—these two beach towns each offer a very different vibe. Montañita is named for the "little hill" that sits at its north end and separates its picture-perfect golden-sand beach from Olòn's picture-perfect golden-sand beach. It's less than a five-minute drive from one to the other, and a taxi ride will cost you just $2.
3 Beach Buys on Ecuador's Pacific Coast—$100,000 or Less
A pound of fresh shrimp—$2.50. Someone to cook and clean for you—$20 per day. Property tax of $200-$250 a year on the beach homes below… It's easy to see why Ecuador tops International Living's Retirement Index. It's a top spot for those looking for a comfortable lifestyle that won't break the bank. And Ecuador rates as one of the best-value destinations on my beat, too. On the country's unspoiled Pacific coast, in particular, you get a whole lot more for your dollar. And that applies to real estate as well as your cost of living.
Healthier and Happier—The Appeal of Ecuador's Sacred Valleys
A patchwork quilt of blue-green grass stretches before you, complemented here and there with splashes of fuchsia, lavender, coral, bright yellow… The unmistakable aroma of eucalyptus hitches a ride on a fresh breeze, accented by wood smoke that you can just spy wisping its way out of a red-brick chimney poking from an adobe-walled casita, barely visible on the mountainside far across the way.
Find A Property Bargain in Ecuador
You've got the options of a cosmopolitan lifestyle in cities like Quito, Cuenca, and Salinas… or a more quiet existence in any number of smaller enclaves where you can garden with a view. And your choices extend to the kind of home you'd like as well—from the convenience of a modern high-rise condo…to the space afforded by a single-family home with a yard…to raw land on which you can build your dream escape.
The Top Three Best Places to Retire Overseas to Buy Real Estate
Buying real estate overseas is different in each country as they all have their own laws and rules to abide by. But once you have an in-country attorney the process should be straightforward. In International Living's annual Global Retirement Index 2013 we took real estate into consideration when coming up with the best places to retire overseas.
Real Estate in Cuenca, Ecuador
Cuenca is known for its rich intellectual and artistic traditions that match its colonial architecture. It is famous for its colorful festivals and is one of three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Ecuador. Located on the southern edge of the mountains, Cuenca is Ecuador's third largest city. Here foreigners have the same rights as citizens to own property…and real estate in Cuenca is a bargain.
An Insider's Guide to Buying Property in Ecuador
Real estate prices in Ecuador are low—among the lowest anywhere. That means you can find some of the best bargains in the world. So if you choose this country, you may decide it makes sense to buy a residence.
A Sense of Community in Your New Home Overseas
Sunday morning breakfasts, poker nights, backyard barbecues, book clubs, church groups, happy hours…expats all around the world know that a sense of community is what truly makes you feel at home.
An Insider's Guide to the Best Neighborhoods in Cuenca
For many reasons, Cuenca, Ecuador earns top billing as one of the world's top expat destinations. The cost of living is low—three-course lunches start at $2.50—the weather is great, usually around 65 to 70 F during the day, and it's never too cold or hot. When we want to travel back to the U.S., it takes us as little as six-and-a-half hours' flight time to New York (plus you'll get a major discount on your fare if you are a resident retiree).
Cliff-Top Homes and Staggering Views
There's no other view in the world like it. In a cliff-top home, there's nothing between you and the beautiful vista but empty space. You never have to worry about a house going up in front of you or that your neighbor's new satellite dish will block your line of sight. Badminton in the back yard may be out. But morning coffee and sunset drinks on the terrace are in. If you're on the seaside, the rumbling waves pounding the rocks below will be your lullaby.
Coastal Ecuador is a Buy Today—Prices Are Already Rising
Right now it feels like civilization has forgotten about this place. It's the coast of Ecuador, running from north of Canoa to Pedernales. One of the last stunning and undiscovered stretches of Pacific coast in the Americas, it is now set to be developed. And if you are interested in buying best-in-class real estate at deep, early-in values, this is a stretch of coast that should be on your radar.
13 Great-Value Buys in the World's Top Havens
Whether you dream of a pastel-painted, old colonial home surrounded by lush gardens or a super-modern condo just yards from the beach, in locations all over the planet you'll find incredible value. Affordable, good-value real estate is a "stand-out" factor of the world's best retirement havens.
Buy in Quito, Ecuador from $46,000; or Rent for $400
Every time you turn around, another travel piece appears about Ecuador's capital city, Quito. Mainstream travel writers, it seems, are just now discovering what we've known for years… that the city is a worthy destination that blends new and old in alluring ways. It doesn't hurt that Quito is one of the world's most affordable cities.

Every time you turn around, another travel piece appears about Ecuador's capital city, Quito. Mainstream travel writers, it seems, are just now discovering what we've known for years…that the city is a worthy destination that blends new and old in alluring ways. It doesn't hurt that Quito is one of the world's most affordable cities, where you can still take a taxi anywhere in town for $1 to $5 and find a menú del día…usually a four-course meal of soup, salad, meat/rice/vegetables, dessert, and beverage…for $1.50 to $2.50.
Run Your Own B&B Overseas
Own your own four-bedroom B&B in the middle of one of the most beautiful spots in Ecuador. At 8,000 feet, you're surrounded by mountains. And the climate is ideal year-round—no need for heat or air conditioning—and there's a large open patio and summer kitchen. The colonial town of Cotacachi, known for its leatherwork, is just 10 minutes away. Otavalo (pictured), a larger town famous for its Saturday open-air market filled with indigenous handicrafts, is just five minutes down the road. The country's capital, Quito, is just a two-hour drive.
Homes for Less Than $150,000
Famous for its artisanal leather goods, the colonial town of Cotacachi (pictured) features open-air markets and small mom-and-pop stores. For other amenities Ecuador's capital, Quito, is only two hours away by car or bus. Here you'll find a three-bedroom, three-bathroom condo, one of six in a secure building. There are great mountain views and at 8,000 feet, there is no heat or humidity. It's cool in the evenings.
Best Beach Deal on Ecuador's Pacific Coast
On Ecuador's best stretch of coast sandy coves and verdant hills showcase jaw-dropping views. Prices have stayed low here because it was difficult to get to. But a new highway means that this has changed. Members of Real Estate Trend Alert can buy a lot in the best-in-class project in this area, with a manageable down payment and monthly payments of $470.
Buy Here, on the Best Beach for Hundreds of Miles…
Not only is it the finest section of Pacific coast in Ecuador…it's the finest anywhere. This is a place of explosive colors and contrasts, forests and coves, exotic butterflies and monkeys. Fishing villages and little surf towns dot the coast. Fishermen bring their fresh bounty ashore and sell it from their boats. Pioneer surfers catch waves and enjoy a cold beer at sundown.
Beach Home Bargains in Ecuador
If you're looking for a beach home and you're on a tight budget, one country should top your shortlist: Ecuador. Ecuador's coast is a sleeping giant. For years foreign buyers ignored it as a second-home destination. When it came to buying a place in the sun, they focused on better-known (and more expensive) beach destinations. That lack of foreign buyers is why beach homes in Ecuador remain affordable.
Long Life and Low Costs in Vilcabamba, Ecuador
In Vilcabamba, Ecuador, you feel like you could live forever. It's no wonder that this boasts of being the "Valley of Longevity," where long, healthy lives are common and many of the locals claim to be centenarians—living well into their 100s. Perhaps it's the climate. Just shy of the equator in southern Ecuador and at an elevation of 5,000 feet, temperatures in Vilcabamba average between 65 F and 81 F.
Long Life, Low Costs in Ecuador's Sacred Valley
The morning mist burns away to reveal an expanse of velvety mountains and the green-carpeted valley in all its glory. Fresh air and blazing blue skies are to be expected here in the Andes. Here, you feel like you could live forever. It's no wonder that this boasts of being the "Valley of Longevity," where long, healthy lives are common and many of the locals claim to be centenarians—living well into their 100s.
Properties that Earn their Keep
Every month we take a look at some of the properties available around the world. This time out, we're highlighting properties that not only provide you with a roof over your head, but an income to boot. Escape to Ecuador's Yunguilla Valley and surround yourself with blossoming fruit trees and fresh fish on your own tropical property.

STONE MOUNTAIN — Residents of a metro Atlanta apartment complex say they're living in fear of bats that circle the sky and invade their units.
Video shown by WSB-TV shows several bats flying around the rooftop of the apartment complex in Stone Mountain, just east of Atlanta.
Justin Fleetwood says he recorded cell phone video of a bat clinging to an air conditioning vent in the room where his 4-month-old daughter sleeps.
Another resident, Tavolsia Brooks, says he returned to his apartment after some time away, and the bats were flying around when he opened the door. Brooks said, "I'm thinking I'm in a movie."
The residents say that maintenance crews have taken some steps to remove the bats, but some of the critters remain in the building.
