Revamped Apple Mac mini takes on Apple TV
You would have thought that Apple would be content with dominating the day's tech news with the iPhone 4 pre-orders. Not so it seems, as it has chosen today to also announce the launch of a brand spanking new Mac mini.
The updated mini is, according to Apple, "the world's most energy efficient desktop".. It features, deep breath...Mac OS X Snow Leopard, an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz processor, 2GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM, expandable up to 8GB, a 320GB Serial ATA hard drive running at 5400 rpm, a slot-load 8X optical DVD drive, an Nvidia GeForce 320M integrated graphics card, AirPort Extreme 802.11n wireless networking, Bluetooth 2.1, four USB 2.0 ports, an SD card slot, a FireWire 800 port and a HDMI port...exhale.
There's also a server version running Snow Leopard Server which has a bit more oomph. This one's got a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB of shared L2 cache, 4GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM, expandable up to 8GB and two 500GB Serial ATA hard drives running at 7200 rpm.
The Mac Mini measures 7.7 inches square and is just 1.4 inches high. There's also an integrated power supply meaning you don't need an external power adaptor and you won't have an extra cable to worry about.
"The sleek, aluminium Mac mini packs great features, versatility and value into an elegant, amazingly compact design," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing. "With twice the graphics performance, HDMI support and industry-leading energy efficiency, customers are going to love the new Mac mini."
The Mac mini is available now on the Apple Store online (if you can get it to load) and will cost you £649. The Snow Leopard Server edition is £929.
Are you a Mac mini user? Will you be upgrading to the new edition? Or, if you're a PC user, will the new Mac mini tempt you over to the dark side? Let us know the usual way.

After having read a lot of material on REST versioning, I am thnking of versioning the calls instead of the API. For example:
instead of first having
then going to
The advantage I see are:
- When the calls change, I do not have to rewrite my entire client - only the parts that are affected by the changed calls.
- Those parts of the client that work good can continue as is (we have a lot of testing hours invested to ensure both the client and the servers sides are stable.)
- I can use permanent or non-permanent redirects for calls that have changed.
- Backward compatiblity would be a breeze as I can leave older call versions as is.
Am I missing somthing? Please advise.

A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW)-fed circularly polarized (CP) antenna array with a broad bandwidth of axial ratio (AR) is presented for 60-GHz wireless personal area networks (WPAN) applications. The widened AR bandwidth of an antenna element is achieved by positioning a slot-coupled rotated strip above a slot cut onto the broadwall of an SIW. A 4 × 4 antenna array is designed and fabricated using low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology. A metal-topped via fence is introduced around the strip to reduce the mutual coupling between the elements of the array. The measured results show that the AR bandwidth is more than 7 GHz. A stable boresight gain is greater than 12.5 dBic across the desired bandwidth of 57-64 GHz.

When it came to presenting themselves as appalling on the ice last season, the Buffalo Sabres were a bunch of geniuses. Buffalo finished an astounding 30 games under .500 in 2013-14 and ended the season with just 52 points. It was, by far the worst in the league and the fewest full-season points Buffalo ended a season with since 1971-72.

Schlemmer (1888-1943), a German artist associated with the influential art school known as the Bauhaus, turned to choreography because of his concern for the relationships of figures in space. Some of his Bauhaus dances have recently been reconstructed in New York by Debra McCall, a dance historian. But the 75-minute ''Triadic Ballet'' is the most elaborate work by Schlemmer ever to be staged here. His costumes, emphasizing such shapes as cones, tubes, hoops and spheres, have been lovingly restored by Ulrike Dietrich. And what astonishing costumes they are! One woman wears a bubble. A man appears to be a marionette without strings. Another man seems to have a snowbank attached to him. The heads of two others peer out from enormous golden...

The people of Polk County cherish their land. Farmers can tell you the soil conditions on every square inch of their acreage and landowners reverently discuss their properties' history. These residents would never knowingly submit to strict zoning regulations or government control of their land. Yet without their knowledge or their informed consent, that is exactly what is about to happen.
Thrive 2055 is a planning scheme to roll 16 counties (including Polk) in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia into a single regional bundle effecting over one million residents. Drive distances to work, bike paths, light rail, mixed-use construction, and greenbelts will all converge into a unified scheme that is a carbon copy of plans unfolding across America. By forming a region, zoning decisions now made by local communities, will ultimately fall under the authority of a powerful, regional board.
Most Polk County residents never heard of Thrive 2055. It is no wonder. Only a handful of residents attended planners' meetings. On a recent radio appearance, a regionalist spokesperson stated that after two years of community outreach, planners received just 1,200 completed community surveys. Of the planned region's one million residents, 998,800 did not participate.
According to planners, community members decide their plan's makeup and the surveys are critical for gathering their information. The anemic participation suggests very few are interested. Nor have planners been forthcoming about who took the surveys. Were they stacked with the families of venders who stand to profit from Thrive 2055, or possibly groups of opponents and their friends? Why are they continuing with a so-called 'community plan' with so little interest on the part of the community? The planners have not answered one of these questions.
Community participation and full-disclosure about the good and bad of regional planning is fundamental if residents are to make informed decisions. Thrive 2055 offers no plan details. They claim the community decides the plan. What community? Are the 1,200 who took the survey deciding the plan for the remaining 998,800?
The few who have heard of the Thrive 2055 have scant idea of the outcomes beyond the colorful brochures and trendy planner-speak. Feel good phrases like, "educated people with good jobs living in a great place" do not inform people. Rather, they disarm them from questioning the underlying flaws of the process.
Since many people own their land and can produce a property deed, they feel their rights are safe. Where regionalism is involved, this fatal misunderstanding sets people up to lose their property rights, their home values and their way of life.
Large regional initiatives like Thrive 2055 eventually depend on government grants for funding. These grants will place Polk County property rights at risk.
The government does not need to own land to govern what owners can do with it. Instead, they need to control the zoning of the land. That is what regional planning does. It turns zoning decisions over to un-elected boards who must comply with the requirements of the federal grants that paid for the regional plan's implementation.
Already, in Chattanooga, the economic epicenter for Thrive 2055, planners are entertaining the idea of form-based codes. This is a programmable system for fast tracking zoning ordinances while marginalizing or altogether bypassing legislatures.
Nowhere do planners discuss these important facts with community members.
The community did not ask planners to sell them a regional plan that would swallow their communities' choices. It is incumbent on the planners to reach a representative number of people with full disclosure. It is not incumbent on the people to participate in a poorly defined and unsolicited scheme that endangers their property rights.
Perhaps it is time for Thrive 2055 to admit their failure to inform and engage the public, and simply to move on.
John Anthony
(The story you have just read is unfolding in communities across the country. New York's Capital Region Sustainability Plan, Together North Jersey's Regional Sustainability Plan, Envision Lehigh Valley [PA], Florida's Seven50 and California's Plan Bay Area are a few examples. Google "regional sustainable development" and the name of a city near you to learn more about regional plans in your area. JA)

Mr. Anthony,
Search Wikipedia on the subject "Agenda 21" and you will learn more than you can peacefully want to know about this takeover via the United Nations and the president's executive order establishing a Conference (or Council) of Mayors. (Littlefield joined the conference and Berke is continuing to participate). "Sustainability" is the magic word that few generally would be concerned about, but it is only one piece in the global agenda.
Thrive 2055 is something all of us should be concerned about. I conclude that our people are not participating in great numbers with all the busy bees setting up a region because we want no part in it. I have been researching for the last several years the origination and activities of the elite group in Europe under which evolution of Agenda 21 sprouted. Dwight Eisenhower was the U.S. representative when the group was formed. My research tells me that the thrust is one world order under the control of big money and one power. That is why you may see me here fighting against trade agreements, UN observation of elections in some of our states (remember Texas and Governor Perry's threat to arrest anyone who came within a mile of his border?), and the recent effort by the UN to take over gun control in the U.S. following the tragic school shooting near Boston. I might add to the list what I observe as a trend toward weakening our military that disturbs me greatly and of course political leaders at all levels creating or revising laws, regulations, or ordinances to take more power out of the hands of the people to give to themselves to accommodate their own agendas.
Keep your eyes wide open and expect kicking and screaming from those pushing this attempt at a land grab as you call it. I would expect our rights would go with the land, including our Constitution, over time if we blindly allow them to get away with it. That is what happens when the background and facts are hidden or cast in a favorable light to fool the people. There definitely is an "agenda" here stretching into the future.

Using Cognitive Interventions with Counseling Practicum Students during Group Supervision. (Innovative Methods)
Fitch, Trey J., Marshall, Jennifer L., Counselor Education and Supervision
The authors argue that students in counseling practicum courses experience many self-defeating thoughts and anxieties. These worries can impede their performance as new counselors and can have a negative impact on the supervision process. The authors outline innovative methods used by cognitive therapists to address this anxiety. In addition, a model is presented for counselor educators to use cognitive restructuring techniques as a supervision tool.
First-year practicum students often indicate that they have many fears and worries about their initial counseling experiences (Bernard & Goodyear, 1992). If this anxiety becomes excessive, it can impede the skills development of the practicum student and impair his or her functioning as a counselor. When excessive anxiety lingers past the practicum experience, counselors might become at risk for burnout. The ability to handle the anxiety and stress related to practicum and initial counseling experiences is a crucial skill that is needed by practicum students. Cognitive therapists (Beck & Emery, 1985; Ellis & Grieger, 1986) identified interventions that can be used to alleviate stress and anxiety problems. These techniques can be used effectively with practicum students (Dodge, 1982). The purpose of this article is to outline an innovative strategy for identifying practicum students' common self-defeating thoughts and to provide cognitive intervention strategies for addressing these thoughts.
Anxiety in Supervision
Bernard and Goodyear (1992) identified personalization skills as a major area of development for counselors. Personalization skills relate to the personality and emotional traits of the counselor. Being patient with resistant clients and managing anger if clients are confrontational are examples of personalization skills. The ability to manage and to cope with anxiety is another personalization skill. Counselors need to learn how to keep their own personal issues (e.g., performance anxiety) from interfering with the counseling relationship. This can be achieved by applying the principles of cognitive therapy in the training of counseling practicum students. The supervisor is not acting as the practicum student's therapeutic agent but is instead simply working on ways of managing the cognitive stressors that are related to training.
Bernard and Goodyear (1992) suggested that anxiety is pervasive among both supervisors and supervisees. They reported that there is no apparent need to avoid anxiety altogether, especially because moderate levels of anxiety probably improve counselor performance (p. 176). However, unchecked anxiety can negatively influence the counselor's speech rates, the accuracy of his or her perceptions, and his or her ability to provide appropriate affective feedback. Bernard and Goodyear also noted that anxiety can lead the supervisee to play supervision games that distort and impede supervision. For example, an anxious practicum student might be too critical of his or her performance in the hope that the supervisor will give only positive feedback. If supervisors can find effective ways to combat anxiety early in the process, the need for such games diminishes.
A distinction must be made, however, between irrational self-criticism and realistic self-appraisal. A practicum student may experience anxiety because he or she is actually ineffective with clients. In such cases, the anxiety is warranted and is a warning that supervisees need to change their behavior. Practicum supervisors need to address these worries with a clear remedial plan and increased supervision. Cognitive interventions would not be appropriate in these instances.
Neophyte counselors are rarely able to avoid anxiety during early counseling sessions (Yager & Beck, 1985). The anxiety involved in demonstrating counseling skills stems from rational and irrational beliefs about the counseling process, uncertainty about necessary skills, and anxiety related to the change process. Yager and Beck stated that the effects of practicum anxiety may interfere with counseling effectiveness, ability for recall in sessions, and supervisory relationships. Resistance may be used by new counselors to counteract their fears of criticism and evaluation. It seems that addressing this anxiety is a major step toward successful counselor development (Bradley, 1989).
There are multiple sources of anxiety for the counseling practicum student (Liddle, 1986). First, evaluation anxiety is evident in supervision settings. Evaluation anxiety can also be fostered in the academic climate of high achievement (Ronnestad & Skovholt, 1993). Students who are accustomed to academic success may struggle when a course focuses on performance skills rather than content knowledge. For many, this shift in orientation can be a threatening experience. Second, performance anxiety also threatens a counselor trainee's sense of competence and ability. Students often have an unrealistic sense of the counseling process, and they tend to set high expectations despite their lack of experience (Liddle, 1986). Studies on the impact of anxiety (Skovholt & Ronnestad, 1992a, 1992b) showed that intense anxiety existed among graduate students in counseling. Interviews with senior practitioners revealed that they experienced a high degree of anxiety as student counselors. The respondents who were currently students, however, did not report this anxiety. This discrepancy might have been influenced by the current students' fear of acknowledging insecurity and the students' need to maintain a feeling of competence.
Third, counselors' own personal issues can surface during the practicum experience. For example, a student with a high need for approval might be afraid of appropriately challenging and confronting clients. The student has learned how to compensate for this tendency in his or her personal life but now must address the issue in supervision. Addressing a personal weakness in an already threatening process can be a source of tension for the practicum student. Fourth, the fear of trying new techniques or dealing with client anger frequently scares practicum students. During practicum, students must be open to trying new strategies, with no guarantee of success. This requires a sense of self-confidence. Without this confidence, they are likely to gravitate toward safe harbors and avoid positive learning experiences (Liddle, 1986).
Supervisors need to understand the effects of anxiety during practicum. They also need to be prepared to help supervisees learn to manage and reduce their anxiety levels. When using cognitive strategies or other techniques, practicum supervisors must be careful to avoid dual relationships. In using such approaches to help supervisees reduce anxiety, supervisors are not counseling their students. Rather, they are helping supervisees learn about interpersonal factors that might affect their performance during the counseling process. Supervisors can help avoid dual relationships by teaching and applying these techniques in a group setting.
Cognitive Interventions
Many authors have emphasized the influence that cognition has on affect and behavior (Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979; Ellis & Grieger, 1986; Meichenbaum, 1977). Cognitive therapists attempt to identify maladaptive cognition and thought patterns, challenge and dispute these thoughts, and delineate alternatives to the maladaptive cognition. This approach has been widely accepted as the treatment of choice for anxiety disorders and depression (Beck et al., 1979). Therefore, this approach is well suited for addressing the anxiety of practicum students. More recent research also showed that cognitive interventions were highly effective in relieving anxiety (Borkovec & Costello, 1995; Mitchell, 1999). For example, Mitchell studied the effects of medication alone versus medication combined with cognitive-behavioral group therapy in the treatment of panic disorder. Members of the medication plus therapy group had lower posttest anxiety scores than did those who received medication alone (Mitchell, 1999, pp. 188-201). However, this study may not be generalized to a nonclinical population, nor does it support the use of cognitive therapy without medication. Borkovec and Costello compared treatments for generalized anxiety disorder. Ten different rating instruments showed that cognitive-behavioral treatment was effective in treating anxiety.
Cognitive therapists use different methods for achieving the same results. Beck and Emery (1985) stated that people with anxiety problems have a pattern of negativistic thinking. They reported that the manner in which such individuals perceive information is skewed toward defeat, helplessness, and lack of hope. These reoccurring themes are prevalent in the thinking of some practicum students. Ellis and Grieger (1986) emphasized the presence of specific irrational thoughts such as "I must be liked by everyone" or "I must be perfect." These themes are seen in practicum students when they believe that all of their students or clients must love them. They also tend not to allow themselves room for error. Meichenbaum (1985) focused on the tracking skills (i.e., the ability to mentally gauge patterns of thought) needed by people with anxiety problems to help identify their self-defeating thoughts. By tracking these thoughts, practicum students can identify their damaging thoughts and actively replace them with more reasonable, productive ones.
Cognitive Interventions With Practicum Students
Cognitive therapy techniques have been used in counselor supervision (Dodge, 1982). Dodge outlined the following steps for using cognitive strategies in supervision: (a) identifying and accepting counselors' anxiety and related defensive reactions, (b) identifying cognitive patterns regarding approval and performance demands, (c) challenging and disputing these irrational beliefs, (d) constructing more rational and logical thoughts, and (e) taking behavioral risks that support the soundness of the logical arguments. Specific thoughts that elicit a strong emotional reaction are termed "hot thoughts" (Padesky & Greenberger, 1995). Each approach to cognitive interventions includes the need to identify hot thoughts. Counselor educators constantly hear recurring themes of hot thoughts. For example, anxiety about being taped during a counseling session is a common worry for practicum students. If counselor educators can anticipate or identify these anxieties early in the course, then they can remove those barriers to performance quickly and efficiently.
To help identify common self-defeating thoughts during practicum, students in one counselor education program, over a 2-year period, were asked to identify specific anxieties they had in the practicum course and to write specific anxiety-related thoughts. This was done in a 1st-year practicum class. These hot thoughts were collected by the practicum instructor in order to anticipate common anxieties. The hot thoughts were identified and placed in thematic groups (see Table 1). Examples of the thoughts included "I do not have time to complete my hours," and "I am worried how I will sound on tape."
Once the self-defeating, anxiety-producing thoughts were identified, the counselor educator used several techniques during group supervision to reduce the tension. Although the techniques can also be used in individual supervision, doing so is more likely to lead to dual relationship issues. Using Ellis and Grieger's (1986) ABCDE (activating event, belief about the event, consequence of belief, disputing belief, and new effect) model, the practicum students disputed irrational thoughts about their class. They were given examples of self-defeating thoughts and then discussed possible disputes to this belief. One popular dispute was to think of all of the graduates before them who had completed the requirements. Basically, it was an "if they can do it, I can do it" belief. Going through this process not only helped the practicum students improve their coping skills, it also modeled cognitive therapy interventions.
The stress inoculation technique (Meichenbaum, 1985) was also applied in practicum settings. A practicum student experienced disabling anxiety about listening to a taped session in class. The instructor went through the process of conceptualizing the problem (fear of hearing tapes), skill acquisition (calming self-talk), and then application (using techniques before class began). Identifying specific positive self-statements was a crucial element of this approach. The statements had to be easy to remember and powerful enough to counter the hot thought. The counselor educator facilitated this process by having a list of self-statements available. For example, by using the statements listed in Table 1, the counselor educator asked the student to identify the applicable thought. The supervisor used the "thoughts list" to help the student confront these fears.
Beck and Emery's (1985) collaborative empiricism was also applied to reduce the practicum student's anxiety. When practicum students were asked to identify anxiety provoking thoughts and then questioned on the evidence supporting and not supporting the thought, they thought of ways to test their beliefs. For example, one student stated that she was fearful that committing time to practicum would ruin her teaching performance. She was asked if anyone had commented negatively on her performance since she started practicum. The answer was "no." She was asked to give specific examples showing that her teaching had been compromised. She reported that she showed more videos than usual, which the students actually preferred, and that students' test grades were not negatively affected by this approach. She admitted that the pressure came from herself and not from outside sources. The conclusion was that if the students' class grades were not affected and if she had received no complaints, then she could allow herself not to feel guilty about time that was redirected toward practicum.
One effective way to begin these interventions is to review cognitive therapy during group supervision and then to discuss some of the common hot thoughts listed in Table 1. Practicum students work with the instructor to create disputing thoughts to counter the anxiety-provoking thoughts. The students are then asked to identify their own hot thoughts and to develop a list of alternative beliefs. The reduced levels of anxiety improve counseling effectiveness, enhance the supervisory relationship, and create a more positive classroom environment. The summative evaluations of supervision effectiveness revealed several open-ended statements from students who reported that these interventions helped to reduce anxiety and to promote a collaborative supervisory relationship. Researchers, using this technique, might empirically test its efficacy by conducting pretest and posttest assessments of practicum students' levels of anxiety and stress compared with the levels of a control group.
Throughout their studies, counseling graduate students face many possible fears and anxieties that arise from their classroom experiences. The greatest fears and anxieties seem to be related to the counseling practicum experience. This experience is one in which students may feel incompetent, vulnerable, and unskilled as they begin to put their classroom knowledge and experiences into practice. If these fears and anxieties persist, students have a hard time making progress in the area of the counseling relationship and skill building.
We have examined how practicum students' fears and anxieties might be addressed, using cognitive interventions. Such interventions allow students to take irrational thoughts and change them to rational thought patterns. This is accomplished by asking students to state their fears verbally, to think about the effects of the fears and the consequences, to think about intervening beliefs and thoughts, and to restate the fears in a rational manner.
Our experience suggests that cognitive interventions are useful strategies to help practicum students combat fears and anxieties. Further research might examine the use of other behavioral interventions to address these fears. For example, does role-playing a counseling technique in supervision make a student less anxious about applying it in a real counseling session?
In summary, fear and anxiety can impede the preparation of counselors during their practicum experiences. Understanding the underlying thoughts that cause these fears can help students overcome self-defeating thought patterns. Cognitive restructuring techniques have been shown to reduce tension and can be used with counseling practicum students to help relieve performance and supervision anxiety.

Day 45: Zao Onsen
WE DID: - took a train from Utsunomiya to Yamagata then a bus to Zao Onsen - used the cable car to get to the top of Mount Zao, explored the peak and went back again - Checked in to our hotel before making our way to Dairotemburo Onsen, a sulphur-laden public bath for a soak amongst nature - an incredible buffet dinner at ...
Let the Adventure begin - First stop.
This is our first layover for a few days. We are hoping to spend a day touring and then a day to tour and enjoy lunch with our friend Yuko. The house that we are staying at is incredibly beautiful. We are up the side of a cliff with lots of stairs and very steep small road up so no worries about getting exercise. The sun ...
The perils of walking alone in the dark
... to the lack of any other creative outlet, be it work or play, I miss the venting it allows me.
This becomes the reason for my next destination and, more specifically, the method of transport there. Remember how I mentioned listening to a song on a Shinkansen a few blogs back? Well, I was traveling to Sendai then, which is almost 2 hours north of Tokyo.
When picking the place to head for next I searched for somewhere my JR pass could take me with no extra ...
... though. And now here we are in another big city. But this is so different from Sapporo. It's a jeans and T-shirt kind of town full of hustle and bustle. Still lots of parks but all empty as no one seems to like the sun. Women wear sleeves with UV protection which they pull off to bare their beautiful white arms when they go indoors. There are blocks of covered shopping streets with no apparent order; Gucci is next to a running ...
Samurai Houses and a paradise bay
... Bay where we could almost not find our hotel, but it was beautifully located on a small hill overlooking the Matsushima bay with the small islands.
We immediately were exploring the island that was accessible by the bridge and to capture some of the pictures when the sun was setting.
The hotel and onsen were really nice and the meal was excellent. All variety of sea food nicely prepared overlooking the bay -- just nice

The Girls, Shopping and Brisket!
... reason it's called The Girls is that a group of men opened a food market called The Boys. Then their wives opened The Girls. It has children's areas too and would be lovely for a child's party.

First Look: 2009 Nissan Nismo 370Z
I like it. It reminds me of the Joker..."Why so Serious!!!"
It would be nice to see a sedan. I bet it performs well but I don't want a Brady Bunch station agon looking thing.
That lower front grille is so annoying!
I really don't see what the problem is with the front. I think the car looks much better. Too bad they didn't up the power though, but I would so get this over an STI, just 'cause of the looks. I say let it keep the happy face. I like it
could do without the "smiley face", but I'm sure its an incredible car! Zoom zoom zoom
I like it but the first thing I would do is paint the entire front end the same color as the rest of the car. I think that would take care of the Heath Ledger look(think his last movie).
The styling is decent, I guess, but couldn't they have at least given it 10 more horsepower? It's a turbo, 10 hp would be way too easy. Must be a left over philosophy from when ford was pulling the strings...
the smiley face is slightly annoying, but the sheetmetal is improved, more sleek looking, a little more muscular in the right spots. It is growing on me a bit- The smile kind of made me a little angry, but each look I take, it grows on me a bit. Looks great from most any angle but the front. Still a great fast car for less money than most.
Take the ugly "Lightning McQueen" face off this and it would be a looker!
a party in the front all business in the back. i dont think itll be smiling while being passed by a chevy cobalt.
I just found out we are getting 2 black ones in, likely by May!
ugly on the outside bland on the inside, I bet it drives good though.
i love it but there is only one small flaw for those OCD people. The body line going down the side it runs threw the center of the front door handle but it just misses the rear door handle. that would drive me crazy.
Not too bad, but it's too happy-looking for me. Replace that big grin with the Camaro's scowl, and I'll buy it...
A little STI-esque, which is a good thing. Sick-nasty car!!!
Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a Toyota Matrix. They could be sisters. The Toyota gets complaints for being bland . Why doesn't this? other than the way it drives. The bodies look very much alike go compare them.
Much uglier than the current one on the outside. Hopefully the improvements in other areas are significant enough to compensate.EDIT: I should clarify that I really like the way the current version looks.-T
Looks like a clown on steroids, or Carrot Top on anti-depressants
Noticeably absent is an image directly of the front. The 3/4 frontal shots above don't adequately convey how cartoony the new smiley styling is. Car and Driver has a couple frontal shots.
It kinda looks like the new STI. I like it...

Forgive all the I's, Me's and My's in this piece. It's to do with narcissism.
Back in 2005, I got my first social media account; MySpace. I distinctly remember squirming at the prospect of having to select my own profile picture. It felt like a horrible window into the soul: revealing to all and sundry what I thought was the best representation of me – or at least, how I wanted the world to see me.
It was a form of self-publicity that simply wasn't normal to a repressed Brit in 2005. David Brent was the national acknowledgement that self-awareness was preferred to self-publication.
But let's not kid ourselves. It's not an unfair generalisation to say that most humans, to one degree or another, are susceptible to narcissism. Some are better at hiding it that others, but its existence is in no small part evidenced by the mushrooming of our social media profiles ever since.
But in 8 short years, there's been a massive turnaround. We not only select a profile pic, but take it too – "selfie" has entered the dictionary, even Obama & Cameron happily snap themselves at Mandela's funeral celebrations.
To me, the selfie had come to embody a compete transformation of what is socially acceptable. But instead, we're starting to see that this matter is not settled. The selfie is not necessarily synonymous with narcissism. It's a complicated beast.
The organic #NoMakeUpSelfie trend last week in aid of Cancer Research UK was compelling for a number of reasons, beyond the £8m it raised. Firstly, it simultaneously struck a blow to the often self-interested sentiment of the selfie, while challenging us not to worry about what we thought was our best look. Secondly the now infamous 'nominations' dynamic was gradually adopted. As the movement matured, nominations were almost the permission required to even post a selfie. Permission is a subtle point, but one with quite interesting implications.
Consider and contrast a recent campaign run by Calvin Klein in the US. To promote their underwear, they asked people to post underwear selfies with their CK hashtag. The agency noted that the campaign was a "the world's best excuse to pose half naked without seeming self-serving".
But as self-awareness around the selfie matures, we wonder whether that simple 'permission' is really enough anymore. Right now, it is the sticky tape selfie that has taken hold. The idea is essentially to try and look your worst. Posting an image of yourself in CK underwear while your mates have sellotape on their heads, doesn't quite work…
Perhaps evidence is mounting, that slightly more 'narcissistic' behaviours are becoming less ok than they were – and the selfie is not so prepared to be its agent.
These trends and counter trends shift as quickly as the zeitgeist, and watershed moments can be hard to predict. But for brands, the challenge is to keep at the edge these trends, which means being highly tuned in, and responsive.

I saw your external-database-authentication plugin and it's very nice!!
But I need a plugin that does the inverse course: if an user is on my wordpress site and he want to login in my moodle site could use the same user ad password used in wordpress site.
Other way may be create a moodle login block on my wordpress site. But I don't see anything about this.

The Ocean Plaza is a nice little hotel for the money. The rooms were clean and roomy with a kitchenette (complete with microwave, toaster, coffee maker, stove, refrigerator, dishes and sink). We had an oceanfront room, which are the only rooms I would recommend if you want to see the ocean. The side rooms overlook the parking areas of the hotels on either side.
The PROS:
Clean towels provided daily. The bed was very comfortable. The view from the balcony was great! No foul odors and the walls and ceiling looked to be freshly painted.
The problems we encountered were:
DO NOT BOOK THROUGH ORBITZ (or any other service like it) - book directly through the hotel. That way, if there is a problem with your reservation the hotel will correct it without an additional charge. We booked through ORBITZ and was "promised" an OCEANFRONT room. When we arrived we had a side view (or should I say NO view). Luckily they had one oceanfront room available but we had to pay an extra $20/night.
The bathroom was a little outdated but tolerable.
The elevator was out of service -- good thing we're in shape having to climb seven floors a few times a day. Orbitz failed to notify us of this fact.
The pigeons on the balcony were annoying with their flapping and cooing all night long!! Not to mention the bird crap all over the balcony.
People slamming doors and yelling to others out on the beach. I know there's no way to control this but it would be nice to have a quiet time posted (maybe I'm just used to camping).
No safe in the room - so take your valuables with you when you leave the room.
No HBO!! I thought all hotels had at least one movie channel. Guess I'm wrong on that one. I was told "there's a problem with the cable provider." Hmmm....kind of vague....
In summary, I've stayed at a lot worse places - it's definately not an upscale hotel but for the price, the Ocean Plaza was worth the stay if you can overlook a few small inconveniences.

- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Travelocity, Orbitz, Cheap Tickets, BookIt.com, Odigeo, Priceline, Expedia, Hotels.com and Low Cost Holidays so you can book your Ocean Plaza Motel reservations with confidence.
