I've long been skeptical of the "green" movement in construction, while at the same time I hoped it could succeed.
My skepticism was born of early attempts at "environmental friendliness" that valued appearances over quantifiable data, and "green washing" that abused the hopes of many who truly wanted proven environmentally responsible products.
But as I toured Seattle's Bullitt Center — arguably the world's greenest commercial building — during its grand opening April 22 — Earth Day, and not by coincidence — I realized someone finally did it. Someone finally proved you can be environmentally responsible and sustainable, by the numbers.
I went to the grand opening because the Bullitt Center has a PROSOCO R-GUARD® FastFlash® air and water barrier system installed. FastFlash®, as you may know, is PROSOCO's ultra-durable, fluid-applied system for stopping air and water leaks through building envelopes.
It performs at a level that helps buildings reach Passive House and, in the Bullitt Center's case, Net Zero levels of energy efficiency.
Net Zero energy efficiency is one of the checkpoints of the Living Building Challenge. That's likely the world's toughest environmental construction standard, and the one the Bullitt Center was built to meet
The "Red List" is another checkpoint for the Challenge. It's a list of over 300 chemical substances, many of which are found in hundreds of common building materials — substances proven harmful to people. Bullitt Center design firm Miller Hull Partnership and general contractor Schuchart Corporation designed and built the six-story 50,000 square-foot office building for developer Point 32 without Red-Listed products.
To make the cut, every product had to be environmentally sound and proven effective — not just by itself, but also in concert with other building materials. At PROSOCO, we are justifiably proud that FastFlash® made the grade.
So they did it. There it stands, 1501 Madison Street, Seattle, a living building, a done deal.
It wasn't easy. When Denis Hayes, Bullitt Foundation president — and one of the founders of Earth Day in 1970, by the way — first envisioned a building designed from the ground up to be useful and healthy, he found local building codes prohibited much of what was needed.
That might've stopped some. Not Denis. He went to the mayor. He worked with the city and the state to change codes. Working together, they created a new regulatory environment — one in which buildings like the Bullitt Center could flourish.
Next step? More buildings like this, in Seattle and elsewhere. Obviously they can't all be the same design. The Bullitt Center is made for the Seattle climate. In Phoenix, for instance, with many more sunny days, the solar array will be smaller. With fewer rainy days, the rain-collection cisterns will be bigger.
Other cities and states will also have code issues. But they did it in Seattle. They can do it in Kansas City. I believe that one day they will. We will.
On a beautiful April opening day, as hundreds of people flocked in for tours, the fully operational Bullitt Center produced twice the energy it needed to run. The distinctive solar array atop the building captured sunlight to produce that energy, in line with the requirements of the Living Building Challenge.
I thought I might hear derogatory comments about the building's appearance. The "hat" as some call the solar array, makes the building look different from most other buildings, and people don't always like "different."
That wasn't the case in Seattle. I overheard at least one fan waiting in line for a tour giving a rundown on the building's features — along with energy, the Bullitt Center collects and treats all its own water. Its 26 400-foot-deep geothermal wells will help heat the building during cloudy winters. Its service life is designed for 250 years.
That guy rattled off the features like Mariners' baseball stats.
To me the building seems iconic. Fifty years after construction of the then-futuristic-looking Space Needle, Seattle's Bullitt Center also points toward the future — a future of legitimate and quantifiably green construction.
Our industry can do it. They did it in Seattle.

Neiman Marcus Unveils the Art of Fashion Campaign Featuring Artist Walter Chin
Neiman Marcus announced Walter Chin as the photographer of The Art of Fashion campaign for Spring 2013. The campaign includes twenty-two images of spring fashions and will appear in the March edition of the Neiman Marcus publication, the book.
Walter Chin was born in Jamaica and raised in Toronto.He graduated from art school with a specialization in contemporary painting, followed by a master's degree in photography. Today, Chin enjoys wide acclaim for a body of work that encompasses fashion photography, celebrity portraits, and advertising campaigns for, among others, Hermes, Chanel, Tommy Hilfiger, Missoni and Lancome. The Spring 2013 Art of Fashion campaign offered Chin a chance to blend both sensibilities, the commercial and the personal, tapping into his own aesthetic to create images he describes as "whimsical, graphic, and simple."
"The Neiman Marcus Spring 2013 Art of Fashion campaign and the March issue of the book, share the same theme the art of imagination," said Eddie Nunns, Vice President, Neiman Marcus Brand Creative. "Walter Chin's inimitable creativity reinforces that theme as he let his imagination loose to showcase our spring collection in a modern way." Other notable photographers of the Art of Fashion campaign have included Richard Avedon, Arthur Elgort, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, Lillian Bassman and Paolo Roversi.
Debuting nearly 20 years ago, The Art of Fashion was a revolutionary step for a retailer as the campaign was designed to feature cutting-edge fashion and provocative photography. Designer merchandise featured in the campaign includes: Chanel, Lanvin Paris, Alexander McQueen, Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Burberry Prorsum, Valentino, Azzedine Alaia, Oscar De La Renta, Prada, Tom Ford, Stella McCartney, Akris, Dolce & Gabbana, Haider Ackermann, Proenza Schouler, Jil Sander, The Row, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin.

Patriots sign DL Marcus Forston to future contract
|01.21.14 at 9:05 pm ET
The Patriots announced Tuesday they have signed defensive lineman Marcus Forston to a future contract. Forston finished the 2013 season on the New England practice squad.
Forston, 23, was originally signed by the Patriots as a rookie free agent out of Miami on May 10, 2012. The 6-foot-3, 305-pounder made the 53-man roster right out of camp, but was released early in the season and brought back to the practice squad where he spent the majority of the season. He eventually re-joined the 53-man roster prior to last season's AFC Championship Game. Forston spent the majority of the 2013 season on the practice squad. He was signed to the 53-man roster in October and played in three games before being released and re-signed to the practice squad.

Today was the last full day before we leave New York City. Started the day by seeing the last two films of our abbreviated Tribeca coverage. The first was Detachment, a relentless drama starring Adrien Brody. And when I say this was relentless, I mean it. This film was harsh and just when you think anything is about to get better for any character, it just doesn't. While I thought at the beginning of the film that this was just a tactic used by the filmmakers to make you think the film was "artsy," I quickly realized what it added to the story as a whole and the feelings that this film wanted to make you feel. Pretty great little film.
The next film was The Bleeding House, a very low budget horror film. The concept was interesting enough and the actors were game if not a little lacking, but the film as a whole suffered in a number of areas. Whenever I'm allowed/get around to it, there will be a full review on Movies on Film.
After a small respite back at the hotel, we headed to the city and Radio City Music Hall for the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
This was our view from the top balcony. At the bottom of the pic you can see Rich Eisen, Michael Ervin and the rest of the NFL Network team. Just out of frame to the right were the guys from ESPN. The whole experience was pretty surreal because of the amount of talent, past and present, that were in attendance, as well as simply being in the historic Radio City Music Hall. After the crowd let NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell know how they felt about him (hint: they don't really like the guy), we got the first picks. You can go somewhere else to find out who the rest were if you really want to, but I'm here to introduce you to my team's pick:
This is A.J. Green, the top wide receiver in all of the draft and the Cincinnati Bengals' first pick at the number 4 spot. Now it's almost 1am and I'm about to get some sleep before my long drive home tomorrow. You've been fun New York. I won't soon forget you.
Today at Tribeca Joshua and I watched 2 movies. The first was Trollhunter, a "found footage" movie from Norway about, well, a troll hunter. It was pretty good with really great special effects. I'd liken it to more of a Cloverfield and less of a Blair Witch Project, but with a lot more humor than either (which seemed even funnier to the Norwegian press guy we had sitting behind us).
The next film was The Guard, the poster of which I've displayed above. Really, the only reason we decided to see this movie was because Don Cheadle was in it and we needed a movie to see after Trollhunter. What we got, however, was the best movie of the fest I've seen thus far. Brendan Gleeson does a fantastic job as Gerry Boyle, a morally crooked but good-at-heart police sergeant in Ireland who finds himself in the middle of murder and drug smuggling. This film was hilarious. Almost anytime Gleeson opened his mouth something funny yet offensive would slip out and the audience would burst into laughter. As awful as some of the things said by Sgt. Boyle were, Gleeson played him in such a way that he was still charming. Much credit also has to be placed on the film's script, which was written by John Michael McDonagh, who also directed. If I had to compare it to another movie, I would say to think Snatch but Irish, a little less action and a few more laugh-out-loud moments.
There are two more films left to see tomorrow, but I'm not sure if they have what it takes to dethrone The Guard at the top of my personal Tribeca list.
Another day in New York, another list of firsts:
First film of watched during the Tribeca Film Festival.
First time seeing the Ghostbuster's firehouse in real life.
First slice of New York pizza.
First time seeing NBC studios
First time seeing Time Square.
First time at FAO Schwarz and seeing the giant piano from Big.
This was a super busy, super productive day. Had lots of fun seeing pretty much everything I wanted to see while here in NYC as well as getting to see two films (Everything Must Go, and Catching Hell). Tomorrow holds two more films and an attempt to get bracelets that will allow us to go to the NFL Draft on Thursday.
Also, my legs are burning from all of the walking the last two days. I need to exercise more, I think.
Today was a day of firsts:
First time in New Jersey.
First time driving in Manhattan (Yikes).
First time on a subway.
First time I was given a press pass for anything.
After driving for around 12 hours on little sleep, dealing with a number of high-anxiety situations, and experiencing what many consider to be the greatest city in the world for the first time, I'm spent. I'm currently typing this from mine and Joshua's hotel in Queens and planning to call it an early night to start the day seeing movies tomorrow. The last note I'd like to make on the day is this:
Cincinnati, take notes, cause this is how a real city is done.

Ocular biometric parameters can be influenced by race, ethnicity, and genetics; their differences across different populations can probably explain differences in refractive errors in these populations. The aim of this study is to determine the normal range of axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and vitreous chamber depth in the population of Shahroud in the north of Iran.
In the first phase of Shahroud Eye Cohort Study, the 40–64 year old population were sampled cross-sectionally; 6311 were invited and 5190 (82.2%) participated in the study. Biometric examinations were done using the LENSTAR/BioGraph (WaveLight AG, Erlangen, Germany) after vision tests and before cycloplegic refraction tests. Any type of eye surgery, extensive pterygium, and lack of cooperation were used as exclusion criteria, and analyses were done with data from 4869 eyes.
We found a mean axial length of 23.14 mm (95% confidence interval [CI], 23.11-23.17), mean anterior chamber depth of 2.62 mm (95% CI, 2.60-2.63), mean lens thickness of 4.28 mm (95% CI, 4.27-4.29), and the mean vitreous chamber depth was 15.72 mm (95% CI, 15.70-15.75).
Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests showed that the distribution of axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and vitreous chamber depth significantly differed from normal; axial length and vitreous chamber depth demonstrated a leptokurtic distribution as well.
Axial length, anterior chamber depth, and vitreous chamber depth significantly decreased with age, and lens thickness significantly increased with age (p < 0.001). All indices were significantly higher in men.
The distributions of axial length, vitreous chamber depth, and lens thickness are reported for the first time in an Iranian adult population. Compared to other studies, axial length was in the mid range, nonetheless, studying axial length components showed that the Iranian population had smaller anterior chamber depth and lens thickness. Age and gender were significantly associated with all indices assessed in this study.

Spring 2014: Exhibit Opening!!
Today was the opening for the Energy Net exhibit at the Carnegie Museum! Our exhibit is called, "Water Wise: Give Rain a Home." The exhibit explains ways to soak up and slow down polluted runoff.
The exhibit includes a diorama of a ran garden, complete with native plants.
We also had a house with a rain barrel attached to the gutter that stores rain water.
At the end of the day, we celebrated our amazing work with a delicious cake decorated to look like our exhibit! Great work everyone!!!!

Last Day! Putting the Exhibit Together
We did a lot of organizing and shifting of materials in order to get ready for the exhibit that opens on Sunday (April 13, by the way!)
The students took all of the materials up to the exhibit space and putt all of the big parts together. The only things we have left are a few signs and the big opening!
The students also participated in some experiments and then decided on their favorite so we could have it set up for opening day.
Check out what we have so far but come see the final product on Sunday!

The house will show visitors how rain barrels work! A rain barrel is set at the bottom of a gutter which collects all the rain that falls on the roof. The water can then be used to water a lawn or wash a car!
|A teen puts the finishing touches on the house. Looking good!
With the help of the Pittsburgh Filmmakers, the teens have put together an awesome video highlighting what we've learned this semester. It will give visitors a quick lesson in green infrastructure!
|Check out that focus!
We're officially in the home stretch! We've had another great semester at Energy Net and learned so much. We can't wait to share what we've learned with all the visitors at the museum!

Week 9: Adventures in Label Land
ENET today was all about selecting the right words. Kaleen is our trusty guide, leading us through our adventure in label land. Groups of teens reviewed PowerPoint slides with tips for creating labels. The main rule is that all labels must be less than 50 words. Short and sweet!
After reviewing the PowerPoint, we took a stab at revising our text for the exhibit. How do we turn all our facts into short, interesting stories? Label making truly takes a lot of skill. Each group worked on one piece of the text and suggested improvements.
At the end of the day, the GeoSquad took a look at the old exhibit panel and added their suggested changes. We all grabbed pencils and marked it up. What should we keep? What should we cut? What worked? What didn't work? All these comments will help Kaleen improve the text for this semester's exhibit.

Week 9: Caution Construction Zone
Today we made great progress on the exhibit components. The rain garden group began building the rain garden out of a large wooden box that will be filled with pool noodles and covered with coconut cloth.
Fake flowers will stick into the coconut cloth to represent native plants in the rain garden. The Geosquad finished making all of the plants for the rain garden.
We also did some painting today! We painted till we couldn't paint another stroke. Mac and cheese orange was the color selected for the table that will hold the green infrastructure map. Another group of teens spray painted the rain barrel green.
And the video team finished the last of their interviews! Two weeks to go!

Week 8 - Field Trip to Visit a Landscape Architect
Today the GeoSquad took a field trip to Wilkinsburg to meet with Sara Madden a landscape architect at Stormworks. Sara works on designing landscapes that capture and soak up stormwater using rain gardens, rain barrels, and cisterns.
She installs these practices on residential lots and at schools in Pittsburgh. Sara started our visit with a short presentation of photos from some of the projects she designed and installed.
After the presentation we went to visit some local projects within walking distance of her office. Our first stop was a patch of permeable pavement, called Flexipave. As we stepped from the concrete sidewalk to the Flexipave sidewalk we noticed a bit more squishiness under our feet. The pavement is made out of recycled tires!
Our last stop was a rain garden at the Edgewood train station. The rain garden captures runoff from the roof of the Edgewood train station. We learned that rain gardens should be at least 10 feet from the building to prevent water from soaking into the basement.
She installs these practices on residential lots and at schools in Pittsburgh. Sara started our visit with a short presentation of photos from some of the projects she designed and installed.
|Sara showing us some of her design work.
We tested the pavement with some buckets of water and watched the water disappear into the pavement. We also learned that the pavement needs vacuumed every year. The resident who installed this sidewalk uses a shop vac to suck dirt out of the pavement.
We also saw a dozen rain barrels attached to homes. These were really large rain barrels that hold 133 gallons of water! The barrels are designed to capture 1/4 of the runoff generated by a 1 inch rainstorm on the average roof (1,000 sq ft) in Wilkinsburg.

It was pretty cool to see real examples of rain gardens and rain barrels in our city. We are very grateful that Sara was able to share so much information about stormwater management. Here are some more photos from our trip!

It's really just Cory that's cluttering it up with DRM this and that every other day. I can't stomach reading the site on a day where Cory's gone on another DRM posting spree.

As you may remember from last week (poor show guys no reblogs :/ ) I'm using my Tumblr to help promote some of the awesome creator owned stuff I've discovered through the twitters.
This week it's the turn of fellow scotsmen Gary Chudleigh (writer) @OR_comics & Graeme Kennedy (artist) @graeme_kennedy
Here is their website.
At last weeks Thought Bubble Gary and Graeme released the final book of their Villainous Trilogy. Here is the official Blurb from the boys website.
Villainous is a crime thriller story, a dark and gritty tale of redemption and revenge. Scarred for life in a brutal attack when he was a young child, Victor Arkin became a crazed, psychotic murderer and terrorist. Captured and incarcerated in Straffen Asylum for the criminally insane for the past 15 years. Victor becomes aware of a similarly disturbed mind with a Villainous plan to attack the City.
And don't worry the guys have been smart enough to release a triple pack with all three issues at a reduced price so there are no excuses. Check it out and spread the love.

Posted by Robert Truglia on June 14, 2011 04:00 PM
Google is at it again, redefining the way we use the Internet and proving as an unstoppable force in the search-engine space. Earlier today Google announced on its official blog the added features of Voice Search, Image search, and Instant Pages, each demonstrated with a companion video on YouTube.
While Google tried to fooled us with futuristic operating capabilities via Gmail Motion this past April Fool's, this time…it's real. Google has integrated speech and images into search options. As long as you're using the latest version of Google Chrome, go forth and speak, drag, and upload as you conduct your endless inquiries on the web.
Instant Pages, makes your searches faster than ever before. With enhanced recognition, Google will more accurately and instantly display search result and pre-load pages so you wait all of "0.0" seconds to arrive at your site.
So next time you "Google yourself," don't type your name — that's far less fun. Here are some demos:

The stage is a big adventure for writer/choreographer/director/performer/teacher Michael J. Bobbitt.
The Gonzaga High School graduate went to college on a trumpet scholarship, switched his passion to theater, then discovered that he loved putting productions together. Now he's the producing artistic director of Adventure Theatre in Glen Echo Park, which is redefining children's entertainment in the area.
Last year, Bobbitt picked up Adventure Theatre's first Helen Hayes Award for If You Give a Pig a Pancake. This season, he's producing the premiere of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, the first show that award-winning Washington playwright Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Crazy for You, Moon Over Buffalo) has written for very young audiences. Says Bobbitt: "I can't believe he said yes."
Bobbitt admits he has challenges that directors of adult theater never face: "We keep our subscribers for only three years rather than 20. Our dirty little secret is that we have to entertain the parents as well."
It's working. Adventure Theatre is selling out and doing more off-site productions to accommodate bigger audiences.
"Luckily," Bobbitt says, "people keep having babies."
Adrienne Arsht is a director's dream: an angel willing to financially back not one play but an entire season.
A longtime Kennedy Center supporter and treasurer of its board of trustees, Arsht donated $5 million in 2009 to create a fund to support musical theater there. The first production, Stephen Sondheim's Follies, was a hit in DC this spring and moved to Broadway. "New York audiences are going wild," Arsht says. In June, Washingtonians will be treated to a new Kennedy Center production of Pal Joey with a book by Terrence McNally. Also coming in the summer: The Addams Family and Memphis.
Arsht moved to Washington from New York in 1979 and learned about theater producing from Kennedy Center founding chairman Roger Stevens. She's since become an arts benefactor both here and in Miami, where she ran a family-owned bank. In 2007, Arsht sold the bank and began to split her time among Miami, New York, and DC.
Musicals are close to her heart: "It's what I was raised on. Musicals are not only timeless, but they speak to our sentiments, from 'Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin' to 'I Could Have Danced All Night.' "
This season, theatergoers have good reason to stay up all night as the KenCen lights up with productions Arsht has made possible.
Ethan McSweeny has succeeded early and often. The native Washingtonian started as a protégé to Shakespeare Theatre artistic director Michael Kahn and directed the 2000 Broadway production of Gore Vidal's The Best Man while in his twenties. He's since directed at Minneapolis's Guthrie and San Diego's Old Globe, been co-artistic director of New York's Chautauqua Theater Company, and returned to direct several plays at Shakespeare. Last season, he conceived a production of The Merchant of Venice set in New York's Little Italy in the '20s. At Arena, he helmed an adaptation of John Grisham's A Time to Kill. This season, he's back at Shakespeare directing Much Ado About Nothing.McSweeny prefers to focus on character over poetry and considers Beatrice and Benedick among Shakespeare's most appealing characters: "They're not kids. They've made mistakes. It's a grown-up romance."
Much Ado opens December 5, and McSweeny knows he'll have a tough crowd that knows the Bard almost as well as the company does—plus parents Bill and Dorothy McSweeny, major local theater patrons. "Shakespeare Theatre audiences are extremely erudite," says Ethan McSweeny. "They've been following Shakespeare a long time."

They should do something!
Kinda funny on the argument about searching for "heathrow" in apple maps versus google (pages 2-3). I'm here in the US and I had to zoom into the US for it to stop suggesting the Heathrow Airport (apparently in the UK?) as the only logical place I would be looking for. To get it to mention the florida city, I had to wait for the suggestions to pop up. Not really sure what all the hubaloo's about. Everything new has pros and cons guys, don't start killing people over it!
Mine doesn't work in android unless I'm on Wifi with my Cox service. My Mifi and Wimax give me 8-12Mb but periodically stop and start and the native Android Youtube app stops buffering after a while (like it thinks it's far enough ahead). It doesn't buffer the entire clip at least on my devices. So when I get a WiMax or LTE pause watching 1080 youtube videos I chew through my buffer quick and the video stops.The native iOS app would buffer the whole clip. I am hoping the replacement version they will be pushing for iPad will be the same way. Already the iPhone one is worse with only mirroring support for Airplay. The native app would push HD video via airplay at true resolution without mirroring.I watch a lot of j/k pop videos on youtube pushing them to an Apple TV and the loss of good airplay support is a real bummer. Navigating the youtube on Apple TV is a PITA.
Alright, while messing around with the maps app while waiting for my iphone to be bought, I got confused. How is this supposed to look good?I zoomed in on manhattan and...
It's the painted topology? Beta? Wishful thinking?I don't bother with flyover. It's useless fluff.
Kind of amazing they get it to work at all, if you ask me.
It's the painted topology? Beta? Wishful thinking?I don't bother with flyover. It's useless fluff.
maybe the map has is showing images from the future, notice, messed up buildings and other superstructure, cars, trees, but NO PEOPLE!!! (or animals).----Standard disclaimers apply.--

The Apple maps actually shows me accurate routing time which Google Maps NEVER did.
does the Appple map even adjust for traffic, historic or real time?----Standard disclaimers apply.--
I had Apple maps give me different routes to the same destination based on traffic, route 1 is whichever the shortest time is. But I don't use it for turn by turn so I don't know if it changes routes DURING routing. It also gets its updates much faster than the Google Map does by about 30 minutes which during rush hour is the difference between a 30min ride and a 1hr ride or whether I take the toll road or stick to the freeway. I could never use Google Maps for deciding which route to take.
1 recommendation
It's only faster because they are transmitting maps from the future. Obviously it's faster to get where you need due to everyone being dead.
Nine pages on a topic that can be summed up in its specific entirety by saying ios6 Maps suck--big time, and Apple screwed the pooch big time by releasing the product as is. D-U-M-B!As an addendum don't look for the major flaws and total overall repair to happen for the map system in the immediate future.Coming to the iPhone 6, Apple's seventh iPhone, a new state of the art map system. If not, then there is all ways iphone 7 by which time one's modern most current smartphone subscription will be more than their monthly car payment and the one thing the Smartphone won't do is make or receive phone calls. LOL!
My wife's phone just updated. I have to say I like that the screen rotation is by the compass, not the GPS heading.----Standard disclaimers apply.--
Tim Cook just sent out a letter to customers apologizing for the Apple maps mess.
quote:To our customers,At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment. We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better.We launched Maps initially with the first version of iOS. As time progressed, we wanted to provide our customers with even better Maps including features such as turn-by-turn directions, voice integration, Flyover and vector-based maps. In order to do this, we had to create a new version of Maps from the ground up.There are already more than 100 million iOS devices using the new Apple Maps, with more and more joining us every day. In just over a week, iOS users with the new Maps have already searched for nearly half a billion locations. The more our customers use our Maps the better it will get and we greatly appreciate all of the feedback we have received from you.While were improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest and Waze, or use Google or Nokia maps by going to their websites and creating an icon on your home screen to their web app.Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world. We know that you expect that from us, and we will keep working non-stop until Maps lives up to the same incredibly high standard.Tim CookApples CEO
At least he owned up to the fact it wasn't good to start... SPJ would have said "you were mapping it wrong!" LOL
Just read that. Funny how he has to mention how many devices are using iOS 6. So there you go, even Tim Cook says Maps is a dud.
While we're improving Maps, you can try alternatives by downloading map apps from the App Store like Bing, MapQuest
Yes Waze is available, at least in Canada it is.
I've been wondering how the maps improve with more use by users. If I search a location and it gives me the wrong place how does that get corrected in the database? I realize I'm ignorant here. I'm just very curious how the maps will improved from use because I've heard it stated many times now.--My GalleryFormerly Nezmo
You bring up a good point. I would imagine it would automatically send Apple your actual position via location services vs you search results.--Not many people know this, but I happen to be quite famous...

Any way to turn off the alert on my Iphone 4 to upgrade to IOS6?

DAN CARTER is aiming to return to action when the Crusaders host the Cheetahs on March 24.
Carter returned to training after a two-month holiday in South America and the United States.
The All Blacks first five says he has recovered from the groin injury that ended his Rugby World Cup campaign and is hopeful of playing in the round five clash against the Cheetahs, which also doubles as the Crusaders' first match at the new Christchurch stadium.
"I'm refreshed now, the body feels good, the groin's good, and the excitement levels are right up there," he told the Christchurch Star.
Carter says the players were excited about being able to play in Christchurch after being forced to play away from home last year due to AMI Stadium suffering major damage as a result of the Christchurch earthquake.
"It's going to be a very important one for Christchurch and I'd love to be out and part of that game, so I'm working extremely hard to try and get that.
"But obviously it's up to Toddy (coach Todd Blackadder), and I can do whatever I can in the next few weeks to be playing."« Back to Articles

Not all our own way for NZ teams
Pressure is on Benji, but shouldn't we remember SBW went to France (Toulon) for 2 years to learn the game.
With all of the news around concussion do you think there should be safety measures in place for players to ensure they don't play on after a head know? How and who should police that?
With the start of club rugby upon us, how can we maintain the value of the clubs in player pathways and community spirit.

Understanding Attachment Disorder
What is Attachment?
Attachment is the deep and enduring connection established between a child and caregiver in the first several years of life. It profoundly influences every component of the human condition--mind, body, emotions, relationships and values. Attachment is not something that parents do to their children; rather, it is something that children and parents create together, in an ongoing reciprocal relationship.
Attachment to a protective and loving caregiver who provides guidance and support is a basic human need, rooted in millions of years of evolution. There is an instinct to attach: babies instinctively reach out for the safety and security of the secure base with caregivers; parents instinctively protect and nurture their offspring. Attachment is a physiological, emotional, cognitive and social phenomenon. Instinctual attachment behaviors in the baby are activated by cues or signals from the caregiver. Thus, the attachment process is defined as a mutual regulatory system--the baby and the caregiver influencing one another over time.
Beyond the basic function of secure attachmentproviding safety and protection for the vulnerable young via closeness to a caregiverthere are several other important functions for children:
- Learn basic trust and reciprocity, which serves as a template for all future emotional relationships.
- Explore the environment with feelings of safety and security (secure base), which leads to healthy cognitive and social development.
- Develop the ability to self-regulate, which results in effective management of impulses and emotions.
- Create a foundation for the formation of identity, which includes a sense of competency, self-worth, and a balance between dependence and autonomy.
- Establish a prosocial moral framework, which involves empathy, compassion and conscience.
- Generate the core belief system, which comprises cognitive appraisals of self, caregivers, others, and life in general.
- Provide a defense against stress and trauma, which incorporates resourcefulness and resilience.
Children who begin their lives with the essential foundation of secure attachment fare better in all aspects of functioning as development unfolds. Numerous longitudinal studies have demonstrated that securely attached infants and toddlers do better over time in the following areas:
- Self-esteem
- Independence and autonomy
- Resilience in the face of adversity
- Ability to manage impulses and feelings
- Long-term friendships
- Relationships with parents, caregivers, and other authority figures
- Prosocial coping skills
- Trust, intimacy and affection
- Positive and hopeful belief systems about self, family and society
- Empathy, compassion and conscience
- Behavioral performance and academic success in school
- Promote secure attachment in their own children when they become adults
What is Attachment Disorder?
More and more children are failing to develop secure attachments to loving, protective caregivers. These children are left without the most important foundation for healthy development. They are flooding our child welfare system with an overwhelming array of problems--emotional, behavioral, social, cognitive, developmental, physical and moral--and growing up to perpetuate the cycle with their own children.
Research has shown that up to 80% of high-risk families (abuse and neglect, poverty, substance abuse, domestic violence, history of maltreatment in parents childhood, depression and other psychological disorders in parents) create severe attachment disorders in their children. Since there are millions of substantiated cases of serious abuse and neglect in the U.S. each year, the statistics indicate that there are 800,000 children with severe attachment disorder coming to the attention of the child welfare system each year. This does not include thousands of children with attachment disorder adopted from other countries.
Disrupted and anxious attachment not only leads to emotional and social problems, but also results in biochemical consequences in the developing brain. Infants raised without loving touch and security have abnormally high levels of stress hormones, which can impair the growth and development of their brains and bodies. The neurobiological consequences of emotional neglect can leave children behaviorally disordered, depressed, apathetic, slow to learn, and prone to chronic illness. Compared to securely attached children, attachment disordered children are significantly more likely to be aggressive, disruptive and antisocial. Teenage boys, for example, who have experienced attachment difficulties early in life, are three times more likely to commit violent crimes. Disruption of attachment during the crucial first three years can lead to what has been called affectionless psychopathy, the inability to form meaningful emotional relationships, coupled with chronic anger, poor impulse control, and a lack of remorse.
Serious Problems Can Become Evident as Development Unfolds
Children who begin their lives with compromised and disrupted attachment are at risk for serious problems as development unfolds:
- Low self-esteem
- Needy, clingy or pseudoindependent
- Decompensate when faced with stress and adversity
- Lack of self-control
- Unable to develop and maintain friendships
- Alienated from and oppositional with parents, caregivers, and other authority figures
- Antisocial attitudes and behaviors
- Aggression and violence
- Difficulty with genuine trust, intimacy and affection
- Negative, hopeless and pessimistic view of self, family and society
- Lack empathy, compassion and remorse
- Behavioral and academic problems at school
- Perpetuate the cycle of maltreatment and attachment disorder in their own children when they reach adulthood

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
Why we all hang onto something we know we might have to let go. It's like we're scared to lose what we don't really have. Sometimes you don't want to ask certain things, not because you are scared to ask, it's because you're scared to know the truth behind it. Some say we'd rather have that something than nothing, but to have it halfway is harder than not having it at all.
It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, but then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. They did something dumb one day, and then your life changes. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you, and a simple phrase like "maybe we should be just friends" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.

Callback 12.12.12
Moyo says former Archbishop Kunonga has been abusing the law and should have been arrested for contempt of court for refusing to let go of the Anglican Church property. He also threatened to shoot journalists who tried to interview him, but he is still a free man; while Nikisi says the on-going brutality by the police and army is a clear sign that the partisan law enforcers will not stop their behaviour, even if there is a new constitution. There is no way we can have free and fair elections as they will continue to violate the law and human rights to protect their ZANU PF party and prevent any other party from taking over the running of the country.

Q: I have a computer that has contracted a bootstrap virus. I want to wipe everything off of the hard drive and install a fresh copy of Windows 7. Can I do this using my Windows 7 upgrade DVD?
A: More and more users are opting to install Windows 7 onto their machines instead of Windows 8. Some have hired me to wipe their hard drives of Windows 8 to install their preferred Windows 7, which requires more finesse.
There are several reasons to wipe the bootstrap of a hard drive, which not only removes any viruses stored in this area but also makes the computer run faster than it did when it was new. This is because all the bloatware has been removed in the wiping process. (Bloatware is the useless software the manufacturer installs onto a new computer. Bloatware can also be difficult to uninstall.)
In computing, a bootstrap loader is the first piece of code that runs when a machine starts. It is responsible for loading the rest of the operating system. If a computer has a bootstrap virus, it will keep infecting itself every time the system is turned on until the bootstrap area is cleaned. In modern computers, the bootstrap is stored in ROM (read-only memory).
If you are looking for a fresh installation, you would be wise to wipe the bootstrap whether or not you have a virus. Among other things, this involves using the bootstrap from external media, not the local hard drive. If you use your Windows 7 upgrade DVD to boot your infected computer, the system will not be able to see the version of Windows installed on the hard drive, so the new Windows installation concludes that you do not qualify for the upgrade. The computer will consider the new Windows 7 software as pirated.
However, the following instructions show a way around this Catch-22. Note that this workaround is not supported by Microsoft, although Microsoft itself uses it (which is how I learned it long ago).
- Install Windows 7 by booting from the upgrade DVD. If Microsoft refuses your product key during installation, simply don't enter one and move on.
- Once Windows 7 is installed, click the Start button and type regedit.exe
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/
- Double-click MediaBootInstall and change the 1 to a 0 in the dialog box that appears.
- Close RegEdit.
- Open the Start Menu again and type CMD but don't press Enter. The shortcut to CMD will appear at the top of the Start menu. Right-mouse click on this and choose "Run as administrator." You may need to handle the User Account Control (UAC) warning.
- In the command line window, type slmgr /rearm (There is only one space in this, and it's after the first r).
- Press Enter and wait for the "Command completed successfully" message to appear.
- Close the command line window and reboot the computer.
- Run the Activate Windows utility by clicking Start, then right-click Computer, then click Properties. The activation link is at the bottom.
- Type in your Windows 7 upgrade product key to activate, or use Microsoft's automated phone system.
- You're all done!

At $220 they're pricey but with the replaceable stainless steel face, ultra light weight handle, and excellent balance I can see myself using this for many years. I've had it 3 days now and it's just wonderful. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good framing nail to use with this hammer?

About This Person/Group
KING DIAMOND is quite possibly the most recognizable and prolific personality ever in heavy metal. Revered by icons as big as Metallica and Pantera to inspiring new upstarts like Goatwhore; KING DIAMOND, the man and the band, have left an indelible mark on the history, and now again, the future of heavy metal.
In August of 2008, KING DIAMOND joined Metallica on stage at Ozzfest in Dallas to perform the Mercyful Fate medley made famous from the Garage, Inc. album. Additionally, KING DIAMOND was featured alongside Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister as a playable character in Guitar Hero: Metallica in 2009.
By 2012, KING DIAMOND was prepared to return to the stage for a select number of shows. The band's triumphant return to the stage were the highlights of both the Hellfest and Sweden Rock festivals in France and Sweden. Fans at these festivals were treated to the largest and most involved stage production in the band's storied history. Horror concepts from multiple albums were used in the décor; fans can rest-assured that this show will only get larger and more impressive at future performances.
KING DIAMOND's 30+ year musical career is one of the most storied in history of heavy metal, but the tale is not yet over. The most recent release, 2007?s Grammy nominated album Give Me Your Soul…Please, stands as one of the most critically-acclaimed albums in an already iconic discography. Future albums will feature entirely new horror stories, concepts, haunting orchestrations, and the band's signature brand of heavy metal from the mind of KING DIAMOND and the talented group of musicians in tow: Andy La Rocque, Mike Wead, Hal Patino, and Matt Thompson. Many more albums, tours, and ventures lay ahead. - kingdiamondcoven.com
