You may have heard the "buzz" about BDs new OnX LED light bars, head scientist Alan Roach says "finally, an LED light bar that has the distance of an 8" HID with the smooth spread of an LED".

I am so excited to have gotten out of the city shelter. I am thankful that Austin Siamese Rescue has given me a chance to find a new forever home. I am super friendly and can't get enough petting. I will even let you pet my belly for a little bit. I love to purr. I am also gorgeous!
I am not overly fond of the idea of sharing my to be new home with other kitties. Foster mommy keeps telling me to give the others a chance. After a couple of weeks, I kind of get used to the idea of having them around, but it takes a lot of screaming for me to get my point accross. I really need a home that will have some patience with me for a few days if there are other kitties involved.

This phenomenon is why PlayStation Now exists.
The PlayStation Vita has a lot going for it: Some fun games, good hardware and the backing of Sony, which is pretty popular with the gamers these days.
But even after the handheld console got a $50 price cut last year, sales are still lagging behind, with the Vita regularly getting trounced by its nearest rival, Nintendo's handheld 3DS, which is often ahead by a greater than 5 to 1 ratio. In a candid interview yesterday with VG247, PlayStation UK's managing director Fergal Gara conceded what the chart watchers already know: Whether stacked up against the 3DS or the phones and tablets it was designed to compete with, the Vita is a dud.
"In all honesty, higher sales would have been what we had hoped for," Gara said. "… The truth is that the number of people that want the core experience [that Vita offers] is not as big as the number that simply want any sort of game available on the move and, because the likes of a tablet and smartphone are so multifunctional in their use, they will always be very appealing."
That's an odd way to put it, since Sony has tried — hard — to make the Vita multifunctional. In addition to being a gaming device, a media player and an Internet-browsing omnibus (all of which could also describe the iPod touch), last fall the Vita gained two new pivots: It's now also the basis for a microconsole in Japan and a second-screen device everywhere, to be used in the home along with gamers' new PlayStation 4s.
Gara told VG247 that that was always part of the plan, and maybe so. But while any hardware flops carry with them a bit of schadenfreude, what's most interesting about the Vita is what it might tell us about the migration of mid-core/hardcore gamers. As my colleague Katie Boehret noted in her review of the device for AllThingsD, "Plenty of PS Vita games are geared toward the serious gamer," and even before PS4 frenzy kicked into full gear, Sony was touting mid-core as the future of mobile.
It's cause to wonder: If the millions who love PlayStation games can't justify the hop to a mobile-for-serious-gamers device, will they really cross over to phones and tablets like the mobile guys say?
I read this article three times, yet I'm still confused on what you are trying to say Eric. Having less than optimal sales does not mean that Sony has no idea what the Vita is. The mobile gaming market is anemic to begin with. People play games on cellphones in abundance because it's an available option. How many people purchase a iPad, iPhone, android or any others just for the intention to play video games? Gamers seem to prefer the Nintendo DS and "casual gamers" prefer the device they carry around everyday. That's it, really.
@Marc (DarcFlii LLC) Thanks for the comment, Marc.
* I'm not saying low sales automatically = no identity, but I am saying that the Vita has sold poorly and then pointing out that the Vita currently lacks a coherent identity.
* As for mobile, it's currently the smallest segment of the gaming industry reckoning by revenue, yes, but Gartner has it on track to surpass handhelds this year (though some numbers indicate that may have already happened) and PC gaming in 2015.
* Finally, who's to say that mobile gamers (not all of whom are casual) aren't gamers, but DS owners are? App stores are big business, and gaming dominates revenue there...

Hazardous and Nonhazardous Waste:
Demographics of People Living Near Waste Facilities
RCED-95-84: Published: Jun 13, 1995. Publicly Released: Aug 1, 1995.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided: (1) demographic information on people living near nonhazardous municipal solid waste landfills; (2) summaries of 10 studies on the demographics of people living near hazardous waste facilities; (3) information on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) efforts to address environmental justice issues; and (4) information on the extent of the health effects of hazardous and nonhazardous facilities on minorities and low-income people.
GAO found that: (1) minorities and low-income people were not overrepresented in the populations residing near nonhazardous municipal landfills; (2) the percentage of minority and low-income residents near landfills was usually lower than in the rest of the county; (3) the 10 studies reviewed did not agree on whether minorities and low-income people were disproportionately represented in the populations living near hazardous waste facilities; (4) it was difficult to generalize about the studies' conclusions, since the authors examined different types of facilities and used different methodologies and definitions of racial minorities; (5) none of the studies addressed changes in the makeup of the surrounding population after a facility's construction; (6) EPA requirements for hazardous and nonhazardous waste facilities and public participation in selection decisions have not focused on environmental justice, but EPA has recently proposed regulations and requested public comment on how to address the issue; (7) local government zoning laws were more likely to influence the proximity of pollution sources to low-income people; and (8) there is little available data on the health effects of hazardous and nonhazardous waste sites on minorities or low-income people.

For Access Call, or Walk Right In
Presumably the door sign should read "For Access Call…or Just Walk In".
Presumably the door sign should read "For Access Call…or Just Walk In".
Richard "Bo" Dietl lost his guns. The former NYPD Detective and media contributor on Fox News and the Don Imus show, founder of Beau Dietl & Associates, subject of a film where he was played by Stephen Baldwin, and Chairman of the New York State Security Guard Advisory Council was featured on Jon Stewart's show for being himself burglarized. What's funny is that his description of what happened, particularly his focus on the security measures he had in place but that weren't used, follow the well worn pattern of responses one typically hears after an information security breach (but we were PCI compliant, we had IDS in place, it was a sophisticated attacker, everyone gets hacked, and so forth).
The MGM casino was the victim of a robbery early this morning. Police responded at 4:42am according to a representative of the Las Vegas Metro police stating that a suspect produced a handgun, robbed the casino of an undisclosed amount of money, and fled using a motorcycle. This is not exactly an Oceans 11 style heist.

Jessica Biel knows a great accessory when she sees one. Example: Permanent arm-candy, hubby, Justin Timberlake. The dynamite-duo ignites a feverish sense of jealousy whenever they set about town, only to be heightened by their impeccable taste in fashion. So it was really no surprise when we first noticed (and lusted) over Biel's grey cape when they stepped out in NYC after a full day of Hurricane Sandy volunteer work.
The simple, silhouette sophisticates Biel's casual jeans and flats for the ultimate Sunday outfit. Little did we know, only a few days later, the jet-setting newlywed would don the cape again with a totally different vibe.
Hello, Hollywood. The baby blue trousers kick this cape way up from the original mellow Sunday morning and into the perfect power-lunch outfit. Louboutin-approved, the black pumps give Biel's heels the extra height to perfect the fitted trousers.
We also love how Biel switches up her bag-swag. Typically, you'd find the oversized bag paired with the casual outfit, but Biel's way to stylish to be caught in the norm. Her Chanel-clutch is NYC-chic, while the slouch-bag keeps her lunch look from being too formal.
Last stop, SoHo. Back in NYC, Biel braved the cold temps in her trusty cape for some holiday shopping. Leather pants are quickly becoming a staple in any women's wardrobe, if Beyoncè and Biel have them, it must be true. Biel rocks her leather skinnies with sparkle loafers and the same slouch bag we saw back in LA.
We know when we love something we've just got to wear it all the time, why should celebs be any different?
If you're loving Biel's cape as much as her and us, check out the full article at CBUY!
We know that celebs have the unfortunate duty of having to look amazing all the time due to the un-ignorable paparazzi, but, clearly, this is a non-issue for Mandy Moore. Spotted last week running errands and snagging take-out in LA, Mandy has all the fixings for the perfect lazy-day outfit. The rolled-up jeans and shearling leather jacket are simple and comfy without being sloppy. She's got the "oh-I–just-threw-this-on" vibe and we give it an A+.
Recently interviewed by E!, the singer dished on how she maintains a healthy, balanced life and manages to keep radiating that signature smile (Spoiler Alert: Sleep + SoulCycle!). Also, rumor has it that her and hubby Ryan Adams may be collaborating on a new album. Fingers crossed!
Even though you don't have paparazzi chasing you down Rodeo Drive, you can still, and should, rock Mandy's look. Hey, you never know!

"I can see. I can see. I can see!"
To my fellow glasses wearers, have you thought about how important wearing them are to you? Despite being a target of ridicule at times, your glasses can bring out the best in you. In one of the short stories in "Kaoru Mori's Anything and Something", we take a look at a young girl who regained her confidence after getting a pair of glasses. It comes at an interesting time where perception of people wearing glasses is changing for the better.
"To Come to See" covers a young girl named Yucchi who has terrible eyesight. She becomes depressed after noticing how her vision started to affect her school life. At the behest of her teacher, Yucchi decides to get glasses. She buys a pair of thin, oval-framed prescription glasses and becomes enthusiastic that she can see things properly again. The ending of the story has her being noticed by a boy named Shimada. Who can't resist a girl with sexy specs, right?
Here's a fun fact: glasses do kick ass. They allow you to see things from a whole new perspective. You become more aware of your surroundings. Glasses also generate an impressive aura as you appear smarter and more trustworthy to people. Yet stereotypes about those wearing glasses still persist. Kids believe that other kids who wear them are not good-looking and are not worthy to talk to. There are cases where children decide to make it a goal to not wear them as they get older.
However, glasses are becoming more mainstream in popular culture and wearing certain types of glasses can make you look physically attractive to someone. It also helps to have a support group that doesn't generalize. Yucchi had peers, family, and a teacher that see her for who she is. Even a small, confident group in a large pool of many can make the difference in making a smooth transition to trying something new and not be harshly judged by it.
As someone who wears prescription glasses to this day, my eyesight deteriorated at the age of 9 because I was always playing video games way too close to the television. I groaned at the fact that I had to wear glasses because I didn't want to be made fun of and be called "Chinese Steve Urkel". However, after wearing them, it wasn't so bad as I got to make friends who saw the fact that I was actually an interesting person to be around. Or maybe because I wasn't super-nerdy to the point of awkwardness.
So, my megane comrades, what experiences have you gone through after donning spectacles? Have they been good? Bad? Funny? I would love to hear how your "eyes" have been opened even more with regards to adding a facial accessory for the better. (Also, check out Kaoru Mori's "Anything and Something" and her other works. A Bride's Story is AMAZING.)
As Helen Keller once said, "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision."
Keep calm with glasses on, everyone.

It was the highlight of our weekend… and on Sunday morning, we whooped from our sofas as Jenny Jones took bronze in the slopestyle event at the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Here are five reasons why Jenny is such an inspiration…
1. She's a record –breaker
They've been going for 90 years. Yet Jenny is the first British woman to EVER win a medal at the Winter Olympics. Not that she let it go to her head. When she heard she'd got bronze, Jenny said, 'It's ridiculous. That's me. From Bristol.'
2. Her friend's love her
One of our favourite bits from Jenny's medal-winning performance was the sound of her friend – fellow boarder Aimee Fuller – going into meltdown in the commentary box. If you can't cry live on air when your friend gets bronze, when can you?
3. She's had crap jobs, just like us
Jenny used to be a cardboard inspector. Which is an actual thing.
4. She's proof age is irrelevant
At 33, Jenny was the oldest competitor in the slopestyle event by six years. She didn't even set foot on a slope until she was 17, and worked as a chalet girl to get more snowboarding experience. She said, "I absolutely did not think I would ever be in this position back then, when I was a chalet maid. I was cooking breakfasts, cleaning toilets… It's still sinking in, the history part. Hopefully I'll be in a few pub quizzes now."
5. She's an inspiration
Which doesn't need any explanation at all.

Burgler Alarm Systems: Ask the Security Alarm and Monitoring Expert
Responding to Carbon Monoxide Alarms Q: What should the proper response be to central station monitored CO gas detectors? A: Carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It is impossible to detect except with a CO detector. CO...
A: There are several services not in the usual palette of central station services that many centrals are now offering. In addition to the more familiar Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS), for instance, are the various GPS services.
Many full service central station companies and larger dealers use GPS equipped service vehicles to manage their fleets. They can track and better control the travels of their service calls. All sorts of sophisticated software packages are available to better route vehicles by location and skill set of a vehicle's driver. Payback is quick and plentiful if this technology is used diligently.
Beyond that, however, GPS services can be made available to existing and new customers. GPS in itself is well known. When a vehicle is equipped with a properly installed GPS receiver, the vehicle's position, speed and direction are easy to compute. But, to be useful to a remote location, it must be reliably transmitted to a central point. This can be done by several transmission modes. The correct choice is a direct function of what else is required to be transmitted besides the fundamental GPS data.
In the most simplistic scenario, only data is required to be transmitted. An efficient way to accomplish the task is to use a cellular based control channel technology. It is lower in cost and more universally available than some alternatives. However, it suffers from the fact that it is basically one way. While it is possible to communicate from the central location back to the vehicle, only a small amount of data can be transmitted in the reverse direction.
The possibility exists to use a proprietary RF system that normally carries alarm signals. This is particularly advantageous when an alarm company owns their system and has excellent coverage in the geographic area of interest.
For more robust communications, wireless services such as CDMA and GSM, for example, are required. The recurring cost is more but these services will allow for full two-way data streams, even compressed video. If voice is required, conventional cellular is the best way to go, even in combination with one of the above data services.
Most users are familiar with the OnStar type services. Such systems require integration with the vehicle to use all its service capability. Features include the ability to unlock doors, interconnect with the ignition system, interconnect with horn and lights, monitor airbag deployment and even monitor the vehicle's computer. OnStar is standard on high-end General Motor's vehicles. It is also available as a factory-installed option on other GM models and some foreign made vehicles.
One national company is now marketing a simpler, removable take-it-with-you version. It is extremely simple to install and offers many of the safety features of OnStar without the interconnections to the vehicle except for 12-volt power.
Even with the simplest of systems, a variety of services can be offered to customers. Basic data is the ability to know if a vehicle is in motion, the speed and direction of the vehicle and whether or not that motion is authorized (vehicle properly entered and started). This requires only the addition of a vehicle security system. With this basic data, a properly equipped central station can determine if a vehicle has been stolen, where it is located and, if in motion, its speed and direction.
Additionally with that data, as an example, a parent can call in and discover where a son or daughter is at any given moment. Using a GeoFence, that is defining an imaginary perimeter around a vehicle, you could know if a vehicle moves outside a predefined perimeter.
Additionally, the Internet allows these services to be delivered back to a customer's PC or PDA. This is especially useful if a central database can be accessed to deliver information such as the nearest gas station, restaurant, hospital, etc.
Extending the GeoFence concept, a delivery truck's route can be predetermined. Deviations from that route can be annunciated as required. This is especially useful in asset tracking.
Consider GPS-type services if you wish to grow your business.

Well too bad for you previous anon. Yeah her singing is not as strong as Leas. Sorry she didn't go for voice training from the age of 3. You can keep Lea. Her acting is however better than Leas by far. Suitable for movie and Tvs and not the stage acting of Leas. So it is a deserved award and Lea and chris can continue to be nominated for the publicity/hype/politics generated awards like Emmys and Globes.

Should breakthrough have gone to Lea Michele or Chris Colfer from glee. The ones people are talking about and emmy nominated? She is sweet but she isn't a strong singer and her acting is decent at best.

Testing NYE or New Year's Day?
Me 31
#1 Lincoln 3 #2 Cruz 2
Kim (36) and DH (40) - married 9/2006, ^mmc 10/2009^,Soren, 10/26/10, ^Vanishing twin 4/2013^, Arrow 12/11/13
(.)(.) Platinum +4 months!
@christine - hopefully that was just too early, KMFX for your next test.
@ela - I was mortified when my doc told me I was "at advanced age" for ttc (I was still 33 at that time). My Mom quickly got pg with my youngest sister at 35, and my aunt had her youngest at 35 without even ttc, so I'm hoping those genes are working in my favor.
Can it be Monday morning already?! I'm tired of watching for AF and not knowing, but I don't want to test and get a BFN. Ugh!
Me (35) & DH (44) together 2003, married 2008, TTC #1 since 2012
Clomid R4 = EDD 9/22/14, team blue!
I'm about to distract myself with some housework and maybe go for a short & slow run this afternoon - even though its 50f outside which is really cold for this neck of the woods. I just need to keep my brain away from this for a while!
Me (35) & DH (44) together 2003, married 2008, TTC #1 since 2012
Clomid R4 = EDD 9/22/14, team blue!
And what's with these doctors? I also was told I was "past my prime" and yet I am only a month away from being 29! Their attitude just doesn't help sometimes.
Christine - Stop testing so early, hun! Hate to see you needlessly disappointed! Anyone have a good book rec for her so she can make it to Monday at least?
Heather (30) + Brett (34) = Happily married since 6/05
TTC #1 since 11/11; MC #1: 5/12; MC #2: 10/12; stillborn IVF twins (Alexis + Eric): 1/14
I MIGHT test on New Years day. I haven't charted but I think I would be 11dpo. I had possible implantation bleeding this past Thursday. I stopped taking BCP after I got my period this month so it's highly unlikely that I am pregnant but who knows! With my last pregnancy over 4 years ago I stopped BC on March 16, had what I would assume was breakthrough bleeding, a normal period April 24 and then a very vivid BFP on May 26th. We only had sex once that month and I guess that was all it took.
Although I would love a BFP, I am hoping to conceive end of January/early February as to have maternity leave for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) - A spokesperson for the state tax and finance department has confirmed with Eyewitness News that the department has seized a truck carrying cigarettes from the Seneca Nation of Indians.
The truck was seized Monday while carrying the cigarettes between the Cattaraugus and Allegany reservations. Department officials say the cigarettes did not carry the appropriate state tax stamps.
Seneca Nation of Indians President Barry Snyder released the following statement in response to the cigarette seizure:
"The Seneca Nation of Indians has learned that the New York State Department of Tax and Finance has taken the unprecedented steps of stopping and seizing a vehicle containing cigarettes that were being delivered from one Seneca Nation Territory to another Seneca Nation Territory.
The seized product contained cigarettes that were legally stamped using the Nation's state-of-the-art tracking system under the Nation's comprehensive tobacco regulations. The product was being transported by a Nation-licensed business for delivery to retailers who are also licensed by the Nation.
The Nation does not take lightly this overt act of State aggression against the Nation and its people. We will weigh all of our options and determine what steps to take to protect and preserve the sovereign rights of the Nation and the Seneca people."
President Barry Snyder is expected to address these issues publicly Wednesday.

Hyde Park on Hudson
In June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his wife, Eleanor, host the King and Queen of England for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson in upstate New York in the first-ever visit of a reigning English monarch to America. With Britain facing imminent war with Germany, the Royals are desperately looking to FDR for support. But international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR's domestic establishment, as wife, mother and mistresses all conspire to make… Show more
Created by
I don't know if I've ever seen a movie as spectacularly tone-deaf as "Hyde Park on Hudson." A work of historical embroidery about Franklin Delano Roosevelt's bit on the side — make that plural — it comes to us at a time when we're used to our national icons covered with fresh bird-droppings. JFK was a serial womanizer, Thomas Jefferson was an adulterous racist, James K. Polk beat his horses (OK, I made that up). Knowing what we know of men in positions of power, the news that FDR probably had affairs with a number of women, including a possible longstanding romance with his sixth cousin, Margaret "Daisy" Suckley, is dispiriting but not surprising. Actually, a portrait that would fully humanize the 32d president, balancing his strengths and weaknesses with a clear eye to both national and personal responsibilities, would not be an unwelcome event.(Full review)

I am not going to spend a great deal of time on this, but wanted to bring everyone up to speed, in case you missed the info today.
The day started with news about Kellen Winslow. You may recall that he was recently arrested for possession of synthetic pot. Well, the police were apparently turned towards Kellen Winslow when a female witness called them in, reporting that he was masturbating in his car. Winslow claims this was not the case, that he was simply changing his clothes.
The only thing I will say here is that I believe that Winslow's talent will be severely outweighed by his issues off the field. As time goes on, the more I believe he will be one and done.
And then there is the issue with Geno Smith. "Deadspin" originally reported that he caused a problem on a plane, causing him to be escorted out of the airport. At witness advised the magazine of a profane-laced fit that Geno went through. What actually happened? A flight attendant ripped Geno's headphones out of his ears, and he requested to speak with a supervisor. He then left the plane and went to the cops himself.
Actually the mature move by Geno Smith.

It was my understanding that port mirroring was introduced because of
the inherent differences between a switched environment and a hub
If someone is running a sniffer on your switched network and has the
to login to your switch, enable port mirroring, and sniff data, you
much bigger problems than just having a rogue sniffer on the network.
Incorrect. A switch is basically a hub and router in one. You can flood
MAC address table of the switch, where is decides what port has what
on it so it knows what port to route the traffic to. Once the table is
switches then 'turn-off' the routing/switching systems and the switch
becomes a hub. There is a program called macoff that does this. So you
need to have access to the switch to sniff the entire network.

I am on the look out for a 2D/3D background artist for the sequel to LIMBO OF THE LOST. This is a % of royalty position for the right person.
The backgrounds need to be in 1024x768 resolution and the end result is a static 2D image.
Other parts of the job will be for alpha masks and layers within the scenes. Approx 80 backgrounds will be needed, if you can construct in 3D using an editor like Unreal 3 etc all the better."

Next bill, also big....phone again. Well, they gave me the option of having a calibrated test meter fitted....but if the bill was correct I had to pay for it (several hundred pounds). This scared me off and I just wondered if our consumption had gone up that much.
After checking old and new bills with a fine tooth comb, I found the problem. I had a new metric meter but they were charging me in imperial units approx. 2.5 times as big - hence the bigger bills. Idiots!

Windows 7 Gaming Performance Tested
Soulskill posted more than 5 years ago | from the take-with-a-beta-grain-of-salt dept.179
Timmus writes "Gamers holding onto Windows XP may not have to fear sluggish performance when Windows 7 debuts. While Windows Vista's gaming performance was pretty spotty at launch, the Windows 7 beta build seems to handle most games well. Firingsquad has tested the Windows 7 beta against Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1 on midrange and high-end gaming PCs across 7 different games. While the beta stumbles in a couple of cases, overall it performs within a few percentage points of Windows XP, actually outrunning XP in multiple benchmarks."

Snowball Express. It's not the type of name one would normally associate with a non-profit whose mission is to serve the children of our fallen military heroes. Yet, that is exactly what we do and is our purpose for being in existence.
Snowball Express is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the children of our fallen Military heroes. We connect the children with other children who are just like them. Its mission: Honor America's fallen military service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice since 9/11 by humbly serving the families they left behind. Champion their children's future success by creating opportunities for joy, friendship, education, and communal healing, by connecting these families to one another.
Each Year in December, the organization hosts the largest gathering in the world of children of our fallen Military. These children and their surviving patent come from all across the United States, and several overseas locations to Dallas/Ft Worth for a five-day event unlike anything else.
Every year, Presenting Sponsor and NaVOBA Corporate Member American Airlines plays a critical role in bringing these children together. American Airlines and the employees of American Airlines, make it possible for these children to connect with one another, and help change the lives of thousands of children. For eight years American Airlines has been our Presenting Sponsor and partner in providing these families with a life-changing experience. The tremendous impact that Snowball Express has in the lives of these children, and their surviving parent, simply would not be possible without the support of American Airlines.
This annual Snowball Express gathering introduces these children to other kids who are experiencing the same tragedy and grief; the loss of their Dad or Mom who died while serving in our Military since 9/11. This event helps these families heal together, honors them, honors the sacrifice of their hero, and shows them that the ultimate sacrifice made by their hero has not been forgotten. All of this is accomplished through activities that allow these children to simply be children again; shows them that it is ok to laugh, smile, have fun, and enjoy life. Together, these families help each other heal and move forward.
This year on December 11, 2014, 10 American Airlines planes will crisscross the country to pick up the children and their surviving parent, and transport them to the annual Snowball Express gathering in Dallas/Fort Worth. This year we anticipate hosting nearly 1,800 family members.
To learn more and to donate, please visit www.snowballexpress.org.

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, who was photographed through hotel room doors after employees provided a peeping Tom with both her room numbers and accommodations in adjoining rooms, has sued six hotel operators and the convicted defendant, according to a statement and press reports.
Andrews' suit, filed in federal court in Chicago, names Marriott International, Inc.; West End Hotel Partners, LLC , which operates the Nashville Marriott At Vanderbilt University; Windsor Capital Group, Inc.; Radisson Hotels International, Inc.; Ashtel Inc., which operates the Radisson Hotel Milwaukee Airport; the Preferred Hotel Group, Inc., operator of Summit Hotels & Resorts; and one college—The Ohio State University—which owns The Blackwell Inn.
The suit also names defendant Michael David Barrett, who pleaded guilty last year to federal charges of altering peepholes between the adjoining rooms and taking photographs of Andrews nude, which he then posted on the Internet. In March Barrett was sentenced to two and a half years in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender, according to the New York Daily News.
(For more on hotel and travel security and safety, see "Holes in Hotel Security," by Associate Editor Laura Spadanuta, Intelligence, in April's print edition, and "What Female Travelers Need to Know," by Darlene Radloff, March 2007.)
Andrews alleges negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy on the part of the hotel operators, and negligence, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress by Barrett. Andrews seeks at least $50,000 in damages, according to a statement from her law firm and the Chicago Sun-Times.
"I've filed this lawsuit to hold accountable those who put my personal safety at risk and who allowed my privacy to be invaded while I was a guest at their hotel as well as for actually stalking me and making my most personal moments public," Andrews said in her law firm's statement. "Although I'll never be able to fully erase the impact that this invasion of privacy has had upon me and my family, I do hope that my experience will cause the hospitality industry to be more vigilant in protecting its guests from the time they reserve a hotel room until they check out."
Andrews has launched a campaign to make hotels more secure, with recommendations that include installation of CCTV cameras on every floor, expanded employee training, and a requirement for guest consent before assigning adjoining rooms, according to USA Today.

Bono Finally Reveals Reason for Wearing Sunglasses at All Times
It's a question that has plagued U2 fans and the general public for years: Why does Bono insist on wearing sunglasses indoors?
It's a question that has plagued U2 fans and the general public for years: Why does Bono insist on wearing sunglasses indoors?
Swifties, Taylor Swift has just unveiled the opening track on '1989' -- 'Welcome to New York'!
Today's (Oct. 17) release of lyric snippets (posted above -- check 'em out!) are a little less cryptic than the last, but that doesn't mean we want to hear the full song any less.
Peyton Manning continued re-writing the NFL record books, and the Dallas Cowboys continued to be the NFL's hottest team. Here's what we learned on Sunday:
The SEC West still rules the roost and officials may determine the playoff teams. Just a few of the things we learned this week in college football.
Who knew we were all so, so wrong about Taylor Swift's cryptic lyrics this entire time.
Bill Murray has been well-established throughout pop culture as a legendary eccentric, whose next feats might well include emerging from your bowl of soup, or taking a flamethrower to your next karaoke jam, so what's next? Why, a TV yuletide special with 'Lost in Translation' director Sofia Coppola, featuring the erstwhile 'St. Vincent' crooning Christmas carols, of course!
Only by knowing the statistics of breast cancer will we be able to better arm ourselves against it.
There's scary and then there's whatever the heck this is.

Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas is making headlines, but they're not pleasant ones.
The countdown is on: Only five more days until One Direction's 'Steal My Girl' music video will be released. To whet Directioners' appetite until then, the band has released a teaser video featuring Liam Payne.
We'd previously heard that the 'Bond 24' filmmakers wanted the villain for the upcoming sequel to be unlike the modern day villains and instead a throwback to the big hulking henchmen like Jaws or Oddjob. The casting call was looking for "an imposing, extremely physically fit actor" over 6'2" tall. Not a ton of guys like that around, but the director Sam Mendes didn't have to look further than the biggest movie of the year.

I wish I had more time to make this happen….!
It didn't occur to me I could have done this earlier..?!
Over-saturated, though. If only instagram could allow you to fine tune their filters haha.
If I wasn't so lazy I'd crop Strawberry Mint's latest wallpaper as an album cover for all their songs on my phone too ; v ;
Anonymous said: (@°▽°@) Hi Chan~ Just wondering: How did you (and Starlight) come up with the character design for you vids?? They amazing~~
Hey Anon!
There's not much to say with our first entry 'P.A.R.A.L.Y.Z.E' because there really wasn't much development at all LOL; I just asked what everyone wanted for their avatars' hairstyles, outfits, poses and what our assigned colours would be. Then I pretty much just went straight onto final art after getting those descriptions.
With Renai Yuusha we intended to have our own PV somewhat resembling the original, so I used the design of the character in the original PV as a reference. However, I wasn't confident with drawing 5 complete fullbody avatars in a more 'mature' style, especially with that kind of detail in the outfits within the time before the deadline, so I compromised with a 'chibi' style.
I did an initial sketch to get a feel of the visual style first-
Then a colour mock up-
After I got the okay from the team, I asked everyone what they would like for their hairstyles and outfits. No one was too fussed to be honest, but they gave me enough of an idea to work with ☆
I got requests like 'hoodies', 'school shirt', 'chest binding', and the rest I just…doodled layers of stuff on. My main inspirations for the outfits were TWEWY (as most people would have pointed out already~) and visual kei.
Top: outfit design sketches
Bottom: group shot WIP
The concept sketches for the outfits weren't actually meant to be used for the video, but Aniki (our animator) suggested we may as well use it instead of having me redraw another set of sprites altogether. SMART THINKING!
Thanks for the question, anon! I'm really glad you enjoy the designs for our avatars!
I wanted to draw another batch of grunge-y, battle scene type of sketches to be used for the instrumental before the bridge, however, I was actually running a persistent fever during that week, so I had to give up; Aniki did a great job reusing the little art I had available for her though, because she is amazing like that ☆
ST☆RLIGHT would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support they've given to us throughout Voca★Fusion!
While the results have announced that we have made it to the third round, unfortunately, ST☆RLIGHT has decided to forfeit from Voca★Fusion.
This is due to a misunderstanding in the final score results- I would like to stress, this is no one's fault, and that it was a group decision. We assure you there is no drama going on- only a slight mistake in the rankings, and we do not wish to go on knowing where we really stand in the competition.
Although we have dropped out of the competition, we are not going to drop the group! If you would like to keep listening to our choruses, ST☆RLIGHT now has its very own Youtube channel you can subscribe to!
Please keep a look out for our new covers, we'll keep working hard for everyone who has graciously shown us their support! Thanks to everyone again for all the encouragement up until now, we hope you'll stay by our side from here on out! ☆
VOCA★FUSION Chorus Battle voting is now open!
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post with our PV:
Our animation will not be judged/given points as we did not make the deadline.
This is why your votes will be even more important than ever this round, as we need as much votes to make up for our loss…!
If you liked our PV and if you have the time, please support us by voting HERE!
PLEASE read the instructions on how to vote carefully, otherwise your vote will not be counted! >< Don't forget to vote for one more group too!
Thank you very much for those who gave such positive feedback on the video, and thanks in advance to everyone who will take their time to send in their votes! If we manage to make it to the next round, I'm really hoping to be able to make more of these PVs with our awesome animator… if you'd like to see that too, feel free to reblog this post and share our PV with your friends! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
Thanks for coming to my livestream today, everyone!
I've also added this avatar into the ST☆RLIGHT wallpaper:
Also, we got word that Last Note (composer of Renai Yuusha!!) actually saw our PV and tweeted about it.
I deeply apologise for those who had to witness me hyperventilating at this news during my livestream, but WOW!! Even if our animation won't be given any points for not meeting the deadline, this has just made our efforts even more worthwhile!
To be honest, I'm rather embarrassed to be heard by the original composer of the song we covered, but what a great feeling it is to be acknowledged by them. Though it does beg the question….h-how did he even find our video;;?!
And now finally an appropriate group picture to end this post:
ST☆RLIGHT's 2nd Round entry!
Animated by our own AE warrior, Aniki!
Voting is not open yet, but I just couldn't wait to show you guys the video that we poured so much blood and sweat into!
Current sizes available are ones I made for group members and friends, so please make do with what is already there. If it absolutely cannot fit your screen, send me a message and I'll try to find time to make one for your screen resolution :)
I'll be re-posting this once voting is open, so stay tuned!
A few of my friends and I joined this year's VOCA★FUSION Chorus Battle, forming the group ST☆RLIGHT! This is our entry!
If you like what you hear and if you have the time, please support us by voting HERE!
