- Good value for the quality. Review by Mrs. C.
I purchased these as a favor for a Disco party and for the most part was very pleased with them. The one draw back was that they were not advertised as ladies glasses and I didn't notice the label on the box until the day of the party. I handed them out to the men anyway, but would have preferred a different style for the men.

Pitfalls of Young Companies
Monday, November 11, 2013
David Young is a partner at DLA Piper (http://dlapiper.com/). You can watch more content here on Docstoc.
There are two common pitfalls companies fall into in the early stages.
- IP ownership. Any company when going to raise money needs to own its own intellectual property.
- Vesting of common stock. Over a period of time, you earn into the stock, if there are multiple founders you must impose this early on.

Halakha must inform Israeli legislation but the halakha itself needs to become more flexible to meet the needs of a functioning modern state. Its ok to set clear halakhic boundaries between different kinds of Jewish groups - in fact, the diversity is an advantage to Jewish society - as long as the groups can work together like a team. Lithuanians can demand certain halakhic requirements to be Lithuanians, American Reform can have other halakhic requirements to be Reform, but we all must be Jewish.

NEW YORK, Oct 8- The dollar fell to one-week lows against the euro and yen on Thursday as investors grew cautious about the impending release of minutes of last month's U.S. "While financial market volatility has eased somewhat since the Fed's last meeting, many doubts about the health of China and emerging economies remain, which is likely to dampen the prospects...» Read More
The dollar traded at three-week highs against the euro Friday, boosted by a growing view the Federal Reserve may stop cutting interest rates soon.
Japanese annual inflation hit a decade-high 1.2 percent in March, as energy prices soar, but the central bank is expected to sit tight on interest rates in the face of a soft economic outlook at home and abroad.
The dollar rose broadly Thursday after government data showed signs of resilience in the U.S. labor market, while a key consumer confidence measure in Germany plunged, weighing on the European currency.
The euro had its biggest drop against the U.S. dollar in three weeks Wednesday, as soft economic data and comment from European policy-makers indicated the weaker U.S. currency is hurting euro zone economic growth.
The euro roared to another record high Tuesday, crossing $1.60 in late afternoon trading in Europe after a pair of ECB governors said high inflation may cause the bank to raise interest rates.
The dollar fell broadly on Monday after weaker-than-expected Bank of America profits damped investors' initial optimism that companies may escape the pinch of the crisis in global credit markets.
For the week ending Friday, April 18, 2008 the US Markets ended the week rallying on earnings news. The Dow had its best week since Feb 1 and rallied 256.8 points on Wednesday and another 228.87 points on Friday, for its biggest point gains since April 1st.
The dollar touched a seven-week high against the yen and pulled further away from a record low versus the euro Friday after Citigroup earnings contained less damage from the crisis in credit markets than some had expected.
Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa said on Friday that the economy was slowing due to rising energy and raw materials costs, but he maintained that it would likely pick up gradually.
The euro retreated from a record high against the dollar in choppy trade Thursday after a top euro zone official called recent euro appreciation "undesirable."
The euro pushed to a new record high Wednesday after a lower-than-expected gain in U.S. inflation last month and a sharp fall in housing starts boosted the case for more Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
The dollar extended gains on Tuesday after U.S. Treasury data showed foreigners increased purchases of U.S. assets in February, easing some concern that the credit crisis would dry up U.S. capital inflows.
The dollar was mixed against European and Asian currencies Monday after the Commerce Department reported that retail sales edged up in March.
For the week ending Friday, April 11, 2008 the US Markets ended the week in negative territory. There was not a lot of movement in the markets for most of the week, as the major indices traded on a mix of news including same store sales, record highs in oil, flight cancellations from major airlines, and disappointing first quarter results from Alcoa (AA). The markets tumbled on Friday on General Electric's (GE) disappointing earnings.
The yen rose broadly after a fall in industrial conglomerate General Electric's quarterly earnings stoked fears about the health of the US economy, causing investors to dump riskier trades.
The dollar fell to a record low against the euro Thursday, but pared losses as European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet did not drastically change his growth and inflation views for the euro zone.
The dollar extended its fall against the yen Wednesday, dropping to session lows as U.S. stocks deepened losses after a surge in oil prices.
The Bank of Japan left its interest rate target unchanged at 0.5 percent on Wednesday, as expected, in a unanimous vote.
The U.S. dollar edged lower versus the euro on Tuesday as minutes of the last Federal Reserve meeting showed policy makers felt that a prolonged and severe economic downturn can't be ruled out.
The U.S. dollar held steady against the euro Monday in European trading at the start of a week that will see the latest interest rate decision from the European Central Bank.

Nonmetric calibration of camera lens distortion: Differential methods and robust estimation
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the problem of calibrating camera lens distortion, which can be significant in medium to wide angle lenses. Our approach is based on the analysis of distorted images of straight lines. We derive new distortion measures that can be optimized using nonlinear search techniques to find the best distortion parameters that straighten these lines. Unlike the other existing approaches, we also provide fast, closed-form solutions to the distortion coefficients. We prove that including both the distortion center and the decentering coefficients in the nonlinear optimization step may lead to instability of the estimation algorithm. Our approach provides a way to get around this, and, at the same time, it reduces the search space of the calibration problem without sacrificing the accuracy and produces more stable and noise-robust results. In addition, while almost all existing nonmetric distortion calibration methods needs user involvement in one form or another, we present a robust approach to distortion calibration based on the least-median-of-squares estimator. Our approach is, thus, able to proceed in a fully automatic manner while being less sensitive to erroneous input data such as image curves that are mistakenly considered projections of three-dimensional linear segments. Experiments to evaluate the performance of this approach on synthetic and real data are reported.

ABSTRACT: We propose an interpolation method considering barrel distortion of fisheye lens using nearest pixels on a corrected image. The correction of barrel distortion comprises coordinate transformation and interpolation. This paper focuses on interpolation. The proposed interpolation method uses nearest four coordinates on a corrected image rather than on a distorted image unlike existing techniques. Experimental results show that both subjective and objective image qualities are improved.07/2013; 50(7). DOI:10.5573/ieek.2013.50.7.181

- "Equidistant fish-eye cameras are designed such that the distance between a projected point and the distortion centre of the image is proportional to the incident angle of the projected ray, scaled only by the focal length. A commonly used model of radial distortion is the odd-ordered polynomial model [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. However, due to the particularly high levels of distortion present in fish-eye cameras, there have been several alternative models developed, including the Fish-Eye Transform [6], the Polynomial Fish-Eye Transform [6], the Field Of View model [7], the Division model [8] [9] and the Rational Function model [10] [11] [12]. "
ABSTRACT: Radial distortion in an image is a geometric distortion that causes a non-linear variation in resolution across the image, with a higher spatial resolution in the central areas of the image, and lower resolution in the peripheral areas of the image. This is particularly evident in fish-eye cameras, with very wide fields-of-view. Equidistant fish-eye cameras are designed such that the distance between a projected point and the distortion centre of the image is proportional to the incident angle of the projected ray, scaled only by the focal length. The perspective of the projection of a given scene in an equidistant fish-eye camera differs greatly from the projection of the same scene in a rectilinear pin-hole camera. For example, while the field-of-view is significantly larger for a fish-eye camera, the non-linear radial distortion of the scene results in straight lines mapping to curves of a particular shape in the equidistant fish-eye image.In this paper, we describe equidistant fish-eye perspective in terms of the projection of sets of parallel lines to the equidistant fish-eye plane, and derive an equation that describes the projection of a straight line. We also demonstrate how the shape of a projected straight line can be accurately described by arcs of circles on the distorted image plane. We also describe an application of the equidistant perspective properties, by showing that the distortion centre of an equidistant fish-eye camera can be estimated by the extraction of the vanishing points. Additionally, we examine the accuracy of this estimation procedure on a large set of synthetically created images and a smaller set of real images from fish-eye cameras.Image and Vision Computing 03/2010; 28(3-28):538-551.

- "Utilizing all the parameter values calculated in the first step, camera lens distortion coefficient is calculated in the second step based on a camera model that incorporates distortion, using linear least squares method. Then the whole procedure is repeated for a number of time, using the inversed formulation of distortion model [14], to improve all the parameters. In [12], Weng et al. used an iterative nonlinear optimization approach in the second step, that computes and improves all the parameters. "
Conference Paper: Star Camera Calibration Combined with Independent Spacecraft Attitude Determination[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A methodology for determining spacecraft attitude and autonomously calibrating star camera, both independent of each other, is presented in this paper. Unlike most of the attitude determination algorithms where attitude of the satellite depend on the camera calibrating parameters (like principal point offset, focal length etc.), the proposed method has the advantage of computing spacecraft attitude independently of camera calibrating parameters except lens distortion. In the proposed method both attitude estimation and star camera calibration is done together independent of each other by directly utilizing the star coordinate in image plane and corresponding star vector in inertial coordinate frame. Satellite attitude, camera principal point offset, focal length (in pixel), lens distortion coefficient are found by a simple two step method. In the first step, all parameters (except lens distortion) are estimated using a closed-form solution based on a distortion free camera model. In the second step lens distortion coefficient is estimated by linear least squares method using the solution of the first step to be used in the camera model that incorporates distortion. These steps are applied in an iterative manner to refine the estimated parameters. The whole procedure is faster enough for onboard implementation.American Control Conference, 2009.

Domestic dispute leads to mud, manure slingingStaff Report | December 12,2012WEST HAVEN — A romantic dispute between two women on a dairy farm on Route 22A left one woman's minivan full of mud and manure and the other charged with a pair of misdemeanor criminal offenses, according to Vermont State Police.
State Police were called to a barn at 2474 Route 22A Tuesday afternoon for a reported fight.
At the farm, Jessica Drake told police she was shoved head-first into a pipe by Laura Richards, 39, and later left the barn to find the seats, dashboard and other interiors of her minivan filled with mud and manure.
Drake said Richards accused her of having an affair with her husband during the confrontation which other workers at the farm say they witnessed, according to a police affidavit.
Richards was arrested and charged with simple assault and unlawful mischief. She pleaded innocent to those charges on Wednesday and was released on court-ordered conditions.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The states highest court has upheld a jury conviction for a Lyndon man charged with...

Oklahoma football: How Nick Saban built a bond with the Stoops family
The Hawkeyes played at Michigan State twice — in 1983 and 1986 — while Saban was an assistant coach there, and Dee Stoops remembers her family visiting the Saban home.
"I guess we needed a break before we headed home," Dee Stoops recalled. "That was a wonderful gesture on his part. That's just how they are."
Saban left Michigan State after the 1987 season, and Ron Stoops died of a heart attack only months later during a Cardinal Mooney football game, but the families stayed in touch.
Bob Stoops remembers visiting Cleveland Browns practices and studying their defense with his uncle during Saban's four seasons there.
"He was always very good to my family," Bob Stoops said.
The relationship continues today, with the Oklahoma and Alabama coaching staffs visiting one another to exchange ideas. Mike Stoops said the Sooners looked to Alabama during OU's transition last offseason to a 3-4 defensive scheme.
"There's some people in the coaching profession that you just have sort of a professional relationship with, that you always like to trade ideas and have mutual respect for, and Coach Stoops has always been one of the guys we've done that with," Saban said.
'You don't forget people who treat you like that'
Ten years ago, Saban and Stoops met for the first — and, until now, only — time as opposing head coaches in the Sugar Bowl, a game that determined the 2003 BCS national champion.
LSU beat the Sooners 21-14 that night, earning Saban the first of his four national titles as a collegiate head coach.
Dee Stoops never got a chance to visit with Saban or his wife, Terry, during that trip, but said she's determined to catch up with her old friends this time.
"I have to make sure I see them this trip," she said. "My husband had a great admiration for Coach Saban. I think for sure, he would remember my Ron in a fond manner."
There's no questioning the fondness with which the Stoops family matriarch remembers Saban and the early impact she believes he had on her boys' careers.
"You don't forget people who treat you like that," she said. "Little did I know my kids would go on to be coaching in a prominent fashion, and the kindness and consideration he gave to our family left an impression on all of us.
"I always pride myself on my family being about more than X's and O's, and Nick Saban certainly is that."

Someone explain why Republicans like Don Coram are so hard to find. You'll have to travel all the way to Montrose, Colo., to find him, unless he's in the Colorado state Capitol.
There the state representative recently encountered frustration with fellow Republicans on something you'd think every person of any persuasion would support: fewer unwanted pregnancies among teens, and fewer abortions.

There are few moments of grace in our politics these days, especially where conflicts over religion are concerned. Last week, I witnessed one. Perhaps it was a mere drop in an ocean of suspicion and mistrust, but it was instructive and even encouraging.
Last week, Baltimore's chief prosecutor, Marilyn J. Mosby, charged six officers in the death of Freddie Gray. The charges included second-degree murder, manslaughter, assault, misconduct in office and false imprisonment.
(These were only charges. There will be a defense and a trial. The officers remain innocent until and unless proven guilty.)
Every time you're tempted to say that America is moving forward on race - that prejudice is no longer as important as it used to be - along comes an atrocity to puncture your complacency. Almost everyone realizes, I hope, that the Freddie Gray affair wasn't an isolated incident, that it's unique only to the extent that for once there seems to be a real possibility that justice may be done.
Today's topic is toxic substances and the appalling gaps in the current law that is supposed to protect the public from dangerous chemicals.
For example, before a new chemical enters the market, the manufacturer must demonstrate its safety and the substance must win approval from federal regulators, right?
Not even close.
Our topic today is: Bernie Sanders for president?
"My fifteen minutes of fame," the Vermont senator said gruffly over the phone.
Gruff is pretty much his normal way of speaking, but Sanders was actually in a good mood at this point in the conversation. Later, the volume would escalate.
Up to now, most talk in Democratic Party circles about the 2016 primaries has been about whether a challenge would be good or bad for the clear frontrunner, Hillary Clinton. But now comes Bernie Sanders, making the case that it will be good for the party and the country.
Unlike my own parents, I normally do not condone lifting a hand to spank, slap or whip misbehaving children. Yet I salute Toya Graham, now known widely known as Baltimore's Angry Mom, for making corporal punishment look like high art.
In a normal year, no one in California looks twice at a neighbor's lawn, that mane of bluegrass thriving in a sun-blasted desert. Or casts a scornful gaze at a fresh-planted almond grove, saplings that now stand accused of future water crimes. Or wonders why your car is conspicuously clean, or whether a fish deserves to live when a cherry tree will die.

Automated electron microscopy for evaluating two-dimensional crystallization of membrane proteins
ABSTRACT Membrane proteins fulfill many important roles in the cell and represent the target for a large number of therapeutic drugs. Although structure determination of membrane proteins has become a major priority, it has proven to be technically challenging. Electron microscopy of two-dimensional (2D) crystals has the advantage of visualizing membrane proteins in their natural lipidic environment, but has been underutilized in recent structural genomics efforts. To improve the general applicability of electron crystallography, high-throughput methods are needed for screening large numbers of conditions for 2D crystallization, thereby increasing the chances of obtaining well ordered crystals and thus achieving atomic resolution. Previous reports describe devices for growing 2D crystals on a 96-well format. The current report describes a system for automated imaging of these screens with an electron microscope. Samples are inserted with a two-part robot: a SCARA robot for loading samples into the microscope holder, and a Cartesian robot for placing the holder into the electron microscope. A standard JEOL 1230 electron microscope was used, though a new tip was designed for the holder and a toggle switch controlling the airlock was rewired to allow robot control. A computer program for controlling the robots was integrated with the Leginon program, which provides a module for automated imaging of individual samples. The resulting images are uploaded into the Sesame laboratory information management system database where they are associated with other data relevant to the crystallization screen.

ABSTRACT: Electron crystallography is a powerful technique for the structure determination of membrane proteins as well as soluble proteins. Sample preparation for 2D membrane protein crystals is a crucial step, as proteins have to be prepared for electron microscopy at close to native conditions. In this review, we discuss the factors of sample preparation that are key to elucidating the atomic structure of membrane proteins using electron crystallography.Methods in enzymology 01/2010; 481:25-43.

- "grid tray and load them into the specimen holder aided by an actuator to raise and lower the specimen holder lever arm. A second implementation, developed at the New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) shares the same principle but uses a Cartesian robot (which moves back and forth along a single, fixed axis) for the task of inserting the loaded grid holder and a Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA, limited to motion within a defined xy-plane) for loading grids from the grid tray to the holder (Hu et al., 2010). Some advantages of subdividing the grid loading and holder insertion tasks include a decrease in the requirements for robotic alignments, an increase in fine-tuned motion specific to EM grid loading, and an overall decrease in cost. "
ABSTRACT: Throughout the history of single-particle electron microscopy (EM), automated technologies have seen varying degrees of emphasis and development, usually depending upon the contemporary demands of the field. We are currently faced with increasingly sophisticated devices for specimen preparation, vast increases in the size of collected data sets, comprehensive algorithms for image processing, sophisticated tools for quality assessment, and an influx of interested scientists from outside the field who might lack the skills of experienced microscopists. This situation places automated techniques in high demand. In this chapter, we provide a generic definition of and discuss some of the most important advances in automated approaches to specimen preparation, grid handling, robotic screening, microscope calibrations, data acquisition, image processing, and computational infrastructure. Each section describes the general problem and then provides examples of how that problem has been addressed through automation, highlighting available processing packages, and sometimes describing the particular approach at the National Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopy (NRAMM). We contrast the more familiar manual procedures with automated approaches, emphasizing breakthroughs as well as current limitations. Finally, we speculate on future directions and improvements in automated technologies. Our overall goal is to present automation as more than simply a tool to save time. Rather, we aim to illustrate that automation is a comprehensive and versatile strategy that can deliver biological information on an unprecedented scale beyond the scope available with classical manual approaches.Methods in enzymology 01/2010; 483:291-338.

Frustrated with the disobedient men who insist on entering the Women Only cabin, Delhi women decided to mete out their own brand of punishment.
November 29, 2010 5:11 by kippreport
Kipp has blogged about the wonderful experience that is travelling on the Dubai Metro during rush hour before, and the rants have sure proven therapeutic. But perhaps not as effective as the actions of female passengers on Delhi's metro; we are officially inspired.
Over the weekend, reports emerged of women passengers, joined by women cops, frustrated by the men who repeatedly entered the "women's only" cabin. They finally took to slapping the men, and even made them do sit-ups.
The Delhi metro recently instituted the policy of a women's only cabin after complaints of sexual harassment from female passengers and tourists. And following complaints that men have been entering the metro women-only sections, police at a station in Gurgaon raided the women's only cabin to weed out the intruders. The actions of the police, it appears, helped encourage the women passengers' dormant feelings of resentment. It wasn't long before they joined in on the action and many began slapping and beating the male passengers.
The men were then required to pay a fine of Rs250 (less than Dh20) and were weirdly forced to do sit ups (a humiliation tactic, but we're not sure how they managed to force them to carry it out).
Gurgaon police commissioner S. Deswal, who led the raid, told The Times: "We found many male passengers in the women's coach. The moment the women saw us, they got the courage to teach the men a lesson (…) We want our young girls and women to feel confident and safe while travelling in the Metro."
Kipp is not advocating violence (for once), but having been pushed, squashed, pressed up against, stared down at, and having had our feet trodden upon by many less than courteous Dubai metro passengers, the action of the Delhi women is pretty appealing. A few sit ups wouldn't hurt some of Dubai's commuters, we think.

I don't think this is right. what if men do the same with women. Is this fine in India where we talk about equality? where is equality here? In any case no one has the right to break law.
all women and guard should get punished for this.

On the Mend
August 24, 2015
It's been about a week and a half since surgery and every single day feels better. It's a daily lesson to take things slowly, refraining from pushing myself so that I don't set myself back.
The gift of all of this time has been the surrounding community offering prayers and words of encouragement. Opening my inbox or logging into Facebook offered a distraction from the surgery. I could feel the love and support despite the distance between all of us. Our families came to fill our fridge and freezer with food, clean, and enjoy time with our son. We're still working on digging ourselves out from under all of the comfort food!

The location of this hotel is ideal - close to major highways and an ample selection of restaurants. The lobby has been updated and was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. Despite not being able to use the pool due to the cold
weather, the property outside was well maintained.
Room was extremely outdated and our beds were uncomfortable. The mattresses were ancient! As far as cleanliness, there were dead bugs mashed on the wall - DISGUSTING! We actually had to call housekeeping to change our sheets after four days. The housekeeper that changed the sheets was apologetic and really sweet with our children.
Lastly, I am not sure if this is a common practice in regards to valet; they kept track of our tips ($3, $5, $10, $10 and so forth) on a tag attached to our keys. I thought that was unprofessional and tacky.
My family and I stay at Marriott Hotels on a regular basis. I felt as though that this hotel was not reflective of the brand that I know and love.
great for Sea World Lovers
Incredible room service, fast, efficient, friendly and attentive. Perfect location for Sea World. Outdoor pool is cold in cooler weather, wish it were more heated. Overall we love this place, 4th time staying here. Great rooms. Food is pricey but
the buffets are fun. Parking expensive too,
Excellent Value and Great Staff!
The location is perfect and the hotel is excellent, if you are there for Seaworld/Aquatica. The discount cards save real money and Quick Que passes make a BIG difference since there is almost ZERO wait time for a ride! Rooms are very comfortable,
perfectly cleaned, and the hotel has a first class pool and water park area.

First of all - excellent 5-star quality hotel. This is definitely the best hotel for your money in the Orlando theme park area. I did a lot of research on where to stay and am very pleased with my choice. I would definitely stay there again as a
result of my experience there. If you have children, this is the place to be. It's right across the street from Sea World and only a 15 minute drive to the Disney and Universal theme parks. There is a Starbucks in the lobby right next to an ice cream store. There is a game room for the kids and ping pong tables. There is a sushi bar in the center of the ground floor restaurant area. The pools are magnificent - one for adults along with water park areas for older kids with a separate one for younger kids. The photos online were accurate depictions of what you will see in person. I am very happy that I chose the Renaissance for my week long vacation with my 3 children.
Try the sushi bar behind the lobby elevators, but get there before 10:00 P.M.
Great trip
PROS-Very nice hotel great location right across from Sea world. Super friendly staff with awesome pool area or toddlers. My kids ( ages 2 & 4 ) had a great time!
beds are really stiff. Seem to be on the old side- hubby and I woke up with a
backache every day. Room clean but still a little dusty. No liners in the trash cash in the room. Watch out for using the water bottles in the room. They cost 3$ each and if your child
Get their hands on them you are charged. Also
Food is good yet VERY expensive. Stay away from the sushi bar. 14$ for a regular tuna roll.....!?!?
If you are planning to go to sea world- ask the front desk the day BEFORE you are planning to go for the quick passes which means u can go on all the rides without waiting in long lines. These passes are based on first come first served so make sure to do that a day earlier to guarantee your passes!
Fun place
I was on biz trip, stayed an extra day to visit sea world. This hotel is easily within walking distance of sea world. Parking is $16/day but can come and go with the room key.
Bar is welcoming and good place to meet others.

Man City beats Chelsea to reach FA Cup quarters - 0 Comments
MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City powered forward with ease into the FA Cup quarterfinals on Saturday, overcoming Premier League title rival Chelsea 2-0 to maintain its quadruple chase.
Stevan Jovetic and Samir Nasri provided the goals to avenge a 1-0 league loss this month, with a formidable City in complete control and preventing Chelsea from hitting the target once.
"We can beat everyone," Jovetic said. "We learnt something (from losing to Chelsea), you could see that on the pitch."

This Just In
Wildlife is on the upswing on the site of a historic nuclear disaster nearly 30 years ago.
Nature's epic beauty is evident in new footage that shows humpback whales hunting underneath the Aurora Borealis.
According to a Moscow researcher, the search, and debate are over concerning which free-living bug is the tiniest.
The ability, known as protrusion, allows fish to extend their jaw and snap up otherwise elusive prey, making them effective hunters.
Eleven of the animals were killed in Hwange National Park, the same park where Cecil the lion lived prior to his death earlier this year.
Smithsonian's National Zoo staff have brought 1-year-old female Lulu in as a companion for Thor and now hope kittens are in their future.
A Danish zoo said it would dissect a lion in front of children, undeterred by the outrage a similar experience in a Copenhagen zoo caused last year.
Nature has figured out how to prevent cancer in elephants, and now new research is revealing their disease-fighting strategies could also work in people.

Putting In at Puddingstone
... inspection. So, this is my third trip to the RAM dealer service bay in 2 hours! They check everything and we are fine. Removing the oil filter drops some "residual" in an area which tends to drain slowly.
Once again, I am reminded that often our trip is about the people and perhaps not so much the place. Thanks for fixing our RV and Truck.
Enjoy the ride - just watch out for screws on the road!
Leaving Los Angeles
... by the fact that everyone blocks an intersection during the yellow and even when you get a green arrow, you can't go anywhere. Instead of 10 cars being able to turn on a green arrow, only two get through.
If law enforcement wrote traffic citations for half the offenses I observed, the California Fiscal Crisis would be solved and the State could import tankers of Fiji water to solve the drought crisis as well.
But ...
Knackered Towns.
... I got stuck in the sand, didn't we Fran!
At Topock is the State Line between Arizona and California and it has been the main place to cross the fast and deep Colorado River ever since a bridge was built for Route 66 there. That is now a bright, white, painted arched bridge that carries a pipeline (you can see this as Route 66 in Grapes of Wrath), but there are also the remnants of another bridge, the current railroad bridge and of course I-40.
Arriving at the Croy's
... open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Located on Interstate Highway 5 between the cities of Castaic and Gorman. There is a Vista del Lago off-ramp,
north and south. For more information, call (661) 294-0219.
This was a great 1/2 hour stop that lasted over an hour. Both Dave and I really enjoyed the visit.
Off to Mike and Jenny's Place.

Grand Terrace, CA 92313
We arrived at their house at 3pm and relaxed for a while ...
Only two weeks of class left!!
... our birthday with people we love and care about in the states. I remember celebrating our birthday last year in Argentina and that is something I will never forget but it made me appreciate having people to come to at home as well. Not soon after our birthday was it our lovely mother's (yay mama!) She wants to be 60 so bad but only has one more year to go. Next year we are going to have a big shindig for her so keep that in mind :)

Amy Poehler made out with Bono, Tina Fey mocked George Clooney's taste in women and Matt Damon emerged, bizarrely, as the night's recurring gag.
But at the end of a madcap Golden Globes (Fey toasted it as "the beautiful mess we hoped it would be"), the major honors soberly ended up with the favorites. David O. Russell's con-artist caper "American Hustle" led with three awards, including best film comedy. And despite missing out in the other six categories it was nominated in, the unflinching historical drama "12 Years a Slave" concluded the night as best film drama.
"A little bit in shock," said director Steve McQueen, before shrugging "Roll, Jordan, roll" — the lyrics to the old gospel song sung in the slavery epic.
Russell's 1970s Abscam fictionalization "American Hustle" had the better night overall, winning acting awards for Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. Best picture was the only award for "12 Years a Slave," which came in with seven nominations, tied for the most with "American Hustle."
The awards returned Lawrence, a winner last year for Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook," to the stage for an acceptance speech — something she said was no easier a year later.
"Don't ever do this again," she said to herself. "It's so scary."
Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto both won for their startlingly gaunt performances in the Texas HIV drama "Dallas Buyers Club." Leonardo DiCaprio, a nine-time Golden Globe nominee, won his second Globe for best actor in a comedy for his uninhibited work in "The Wolf of Wall Street." He thanked director Martin Scorsese for his mentorship ("Wolf" is their fifth film together) and for "allowing me to stalk you to make this movie."
Alfonso Cuaron won best director for the space odyssey "Gravity," a worldwide hit and critical favorite. The film will likely join "American Hustle" and "12 Years a Slave" as an Oscar front-runner on Thursday, when Academy Awards nominations are announced. (The academy honors technical categories that the Globes don't.)
The night's biggest winners may have been hosts Fey and Poehler, whose second time hosting the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Beverly Hills, Calif., ceremony was just as successful as last year's show (a six-year ratings high with 19.7 million viewers).
The pair came out with a spree of punch lines, dishing them around the Beverly Hills Hilton, much to the delight of its starry audience. Damon, Meryl Streep and, naturally, George Clooney were among the targets. Fey particularly had the crowd roaring with a description of "Gravity," which stars Sandra Bullock and Clooney.
"George Clooney would rather float away in space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age," said Fey.
The Globes are unique in celebrating both film and television. Perhaps more than ever before, those lines were blurred Sunday, capping a year in which TV was much celebrated as the more dynamic storytelling medium. The beloved and now concluded "Breaking Bad" earned some of the night's loudest cheers for its first Globe wins: best drama TV series and best actor in a drama for Bryan Cranston.
Cranston called his honor "a lovely way to say goodbye." Creator Vince Gilligan said the award gave him "one more chance to thank the fans of the show."
The big TV film winner, the Liberace melodrama "Behind the Candelabra," was made for HBO by one of cinema's most talented directors, Steven Soderbergh, after Hollywood passed. Along with a best movie Globe, Michael Douglas won best actor for his performance as the flamboyant classical pianist. He thanked his co-star Damon.
"The only reason you're not here is I had more sequins," Douglas told Damon. (Earlier in the evening, Poehler said among such a famous crowd that Damon was "basically a garbage person.")

Having been on the Unified Communications team for over two years now, I thought it might be time for me to join the blogging community. When I first arrived on the team, many of my peers already were publishing blogs and not being as comfortable with the product, I didn't feel qualified to post one of my own. However, as time has progressed, I think I am ready to take the plunge. I rely very heavily on my teammates for their knowledge and experience on a daily basis and cannot thank them all enough for this. That being said, I often find myself searching for information on a topic and not finding anything on it. So, I thought that must be my opportunity to create a blog! So here we go.
Before I get into my technical postings, I would like to a moment to again thank my team both locally and across site for all the support and knowledge they have shared with me. Without them I would not be able to do my job, period. The Unified Communications team is still small, compared to Exchange or some other products. That doesn't change the quality of the work one bit, I assure you. The team consists of both new as well as senior engineers, developers and managers that make working in this environment a true pleasure. Thanks folks, thanks for everything.
Also, since some of those teammates do publish blogs of their own, I would like to specifically mention them here. This list is by no means a complete listing of all blogs related to UC, but the ones that I know personally and have relied on daily for the past 2 years.
In addition, there are literally hundreds of blogs related to UC, created by employees, solution providers and customers too. All valuable in their own way, here is a link to a recent list of all UC blogs; http://communicationsserverteam.com/archive/2009/08/11/550.aspx
Finally, there are a couple of UC related Twitter feeds you might want to follow as well;
Now after composing this post and seeing all the great knowledge already published out there, I am back to wondering what could I possible add to this? Well, we will just have to see. :)
Mark "/\/\arkBarr" Barringer
Welcome aboard Mark!!! All the best! :)
Welcome to the growing community of OCS/UC bloggers Mark!
Next Hop will feature a highlight and pointer to your latest blog post at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ocs/ee410018.aspx on 12/22.
We'll also get you added to the Next Hop UC Blog Roll.

Timid YES. However, the President has done many things in his 3 years but not logically or with common sense for the country that depends on an executive that is supposed to have advisors that know what they are doing. We don't have to have snippets of what he has done or articles about what he has done. The President has a broad range of activities and responsibilities and that is to lead the country. In the first two years he had the Congress to do his bidding for him as they were both houses and he didn't have a solid success with the majority. For a year, he has had only the Senate and Senator Reid has been almost quiet this past year without the Speaker of the House at his side. The President needs to lead and not just speak as if he is the king and grants you the wish you want. He needs to work with the Congress and not mandate them. If he was the president or chairman of the board, he may have the power to say what the company will do but he would be dumb to do that all the time.

Pagan is right. If you whip up an audience of neo-NAZIs, then Santorum's message becomes the administration's failure to keep close to our ally in the Mideast, Saudi Arabia. Anyway, what would Santoum do - pledge to always take orders from Natanyahu?

The Art of Crying. ~ Treska Stein
I never used to cry.
I would gulp back my tears and sternly furrow my brow and deny myself even one drop of salty water. Instead, I would find myself snapping at loved ones, eating chocolate and miring in my present displeasing emotion. I never used to cry, neither during the sad parts of films, nor for the heart-wrenching, beautiful moments of life.
My crying began gradually, it began to seep into the special minutes of my day, into the quiet introspective moments driving alone in my car. I knew that I had truly become a woman of crying when I would find myself laughing through my tears and finding an unbelievable amount of lightness in this release.
Slowly I began to accept this part of me. This acceptance grew into a tentative pleasure, and today has flowered into a great love. I love this part of me. I love sitting and watching a play with tears streaming down my face. I love the tears that seep out onto my cheeks when I do my gratitude practice, like gratitude spilling into the corporeal, the warm and salty me. I love my ocean goodbyes.
What I have learned is that not everyone knows how to be a crying partner. When I cry, I do not wish to identify, I do not wish to explain. When I cry, I am cocooned in the experience of my sniffles and sobs. What I want is for others to be the branch onto which I can suspend myself until I emerge, butterfly-style. I do not need them in my cocoon.
As we cultivate the art of crying, natural partners will emerge. These partners may be a girlfriend, husband, mother or brother. Sometimes the best partner is our dog. Sometimes we need a human.
I've created a list of five things that I would like anyone who wishes to become a partner-in-cry to be aware of:
1. Please don't ask me what is wrong. Often it is in these moments of mid-sniffle that things are the most right. Other times, I may not know the cause of my tears yet. If I do want to talk about it, we will, but let's save it for after the cry.
2. Please don't hand me a tissue. Even though the gesture is meant to support me and it can feel good to keep my hands busy as the snot and tears run in a little river over my lips, don't. The message that is conveyed in this gesture (even though it may not be the intention) is to dry my eyes—I'm not ready yet.
3. Please do hold me close. Please do let me soak the offered shoulder and listen to a calm and steady heartbeat.
4. Please do tell me you love me, with your voice, or with safe silence. With the way a tender hand traces spirals on my back, or with sympathetic eyes, and kisses (both applicable to humans and dogs.)
5. Don't always assume that if I am crying that I am sad. Sometimes I am sad, but other times I'm simply overwhelmed with feeling. Sometimes it's just a crying day. We all have those.
Be a safe place for me and I will do the same for others.

Agreed! I love watching a movie where someone invests 1 million or 200 million to entertain me for two hours and it takes me on a roller coaster of emotion including tears! What a fantastic payoff to a great and touching film!!
Good work!!
Thank you! I agree, sometimes the best tears are those you feel for others… especially in dramatic films!
