Tweaking Windows has always been a challenging job and nowadays there are quite a lot of dedicated utilities, some more complex, others rather specialized on tinkering with certain areas of the operating system.
TrueTransparency is one of the solutions that fall in the latter category and although it does only a single thing, it may still be worth your attention because it will bring a new level of transparency to your windows.
The application comes as a very light tool that adds a windows border with transparency, thus trying to make the operating system a bit more attractive throughout, without hampering computer performance at all.
During our tests, nonetheless, we did notice some performance problems caused by the app, mostly related to the window behavior when they are dragged around the desktop.
Although the utility remains light on computer resources, the rest of the windows, now with a more appealing border, seem to be seriously hindered, regardless of the enabled features.
TrueTransparency doesn't come with a proper interface. Instead, it sits in your system tray and right-clicking its icon provides access to all its options. These include the possibility to enable three different features, AeroShake, WinRoll and AeroSnap. The program also has some customization preferences, letting you choose between multiple skins.
To conclude, its safe to say that TrueTransparency is nothing more than a good tool that performs decently overall, in spite of some occasional glitches. The looks of the system windows are indeed very nice but the performance issues may deter some users from keeping it permanently no their systems.

($60) Medium red with an amber rim. Scented nose shows dried cherry, dried flowers, brown spices, licorice and menthol. Large-scaled, rich and deep; a step up in texture and richness from the foregoing 2003s. Layered and deep Barolo, with slightly exotic flavors of dried cherry and marzipan. And yet there's something almost elegant about this big, warm wine. Finishes with building, sweet tannins and impressive persistence. Very impressive for the year.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Soon after paralegal Lynn Brown of Salisbury, MD, had her second child in the mid-1990s, she started putting on weight. Within 18 months, she recalls, "I was 50 pounds heavier than I should have been, and I was miserable."
"I tried every diet and every exercise program you could imagine," says Brown, 50, "and all I ever lost was a few pounds." Then she found a nutrition program that called for avoiding glucose (dietary sugar) and amylose (a starchy substance in foods such as potatoes and rice).
"I stayed with the diet for two years, and it really worked for me — because I'm one of those people with insulin resistance who really balloons up after eating sugar or starch. The diet helped me lose nearly 50 pounds and keep it off. Of course, I had some very good motivation, because I want to live to see my two kids get married." She keeps her weight down "by thinking about every bite of food I put in my mouth, and by getting lots of exercise."
"Reward yourself periodically by enjoying a small amount of food you love. In my case, that's pepperoni pizza — but I only allow myself one slice per week!"

NSW Business Chamber, the state's peak business organisation, has been helping to promote the prosperity and capability of Australian businesses for more than 185 years.
The Sydney Business Chamber, a division of the NSW Business Chamber, was established in 1826 as the Sydney Chamber of Commerce. This makes the Chamber the second oldest business entity still operating in NSW today.
In 1885, the Chamber of Manufactures of NSW was founded to lobby on behalf of its members, primarily for a better deal on tariff policies. Since adopting a new constitution in 1895, the Chamber has maintained a non-political stance to champion the broader interests of NSW businesses, which it continues to the present day.
In 1912, the Chamber of Manufactures of NSW set up the Manufacturers Mutual Insurance Company (now MMI). The insurance company arm was established primarily to indemnify employers against claims that might be made by their employees who were injured at work, and was in direct response to the new Workmen's Compensation Act of 1910.
The Chamber continued to expand in NSW over the following years, opening offices in Newcastle, Lismore, Wollongong and Ballina.
In 1995, the Chamber of Manufactures of NSW broke its tie with MMI, selling its shares of the company and changing its name to Australian Business Limited. The sale of MMI shares made Australia Business Limited one of the most well funded business organisations in Australia.
In 2006, Australian Business Limited merged with the State Chamber of Commerce (NSW) to become Australian Business Limited (incorporating the State Chamber of Commerce) then later ABL/State Chamber.
In January 2007, ABL/State Chamber changed its name to the NSW Business Chamber.
Today, NSW Business Chamber represents over 16,000 member businesses and provides a wide range of business services to both members and non-member clients through our Commercial division, Australian Business Solutions Group.
Over 20,000 businesses each year benefit from our education, networking, products and services necessary for businesses to operate effectively and grow - domestically and abroad.
As a member of the Australian Chamber Alliance and the broader Chamber movement across Australia, NSW Business Chamber continues to provide valuable support to its members through a range of programs and services, and actively represents their concerns as the 'voice of business' at all levels of government.

In February 2008, China Sky signed an agreement to acquire Heilongjiang Tianlong Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Tianlong"), an external-use drug manufacturing specialty pharmaceutical company, through which the Company will obtain $8.3 million in assets, which include $0.5 million in inventory, land use rights, GMP-certified manufacturing facilities, state-of-the-art production equipment, a research and development center, a portfolio of 69 approved drugs (in 98 forms) and a pipeline of 38 new drugs, all of which have been submitted to the SFDA for approval. The acquisition is subject to a due diligence review of Tianlong, as well as approval by the appropriate regulatory authorities in the PRC. In 2007, Tianlong generated revenue of $5.2 million with a net profit margin of 13%. China Sky One Medical expects Tianlong to be accretive to earnings, generating revenues of approximately $7.5 million and net profit of approximately 30% in 2008.
In March 2008, the Company appointed four new independent directors to its board: Song Chun Fang, Jiang Qi Feng, Zhao Jie and Qian Xu Feng. As a result, the number of directors has increased from three to seven and the majority of the Company's directors are now independent. The Company also formed finance, executive, compensation and corporate governance and nominating committees.
In March 2008, the Company filed an application to list its shares on the American Stock Exchange.
2008 Outlook
"In 2008, we expect to see continued growth in sales and anticipate a
growing contribution from sales of our proprietary products. We plan to
utilize the capital raised in our private placement to fund our exciting
new R&D initiatives and to make strategic acquisitions. We anticipate
completing complete our acquisition of Tianlong, which will not only be
accretive to earnings, but will expand our product lines and improve our
production and R&D capabilities

Art Project, powered by Google - Flock. Zis Code » Criando mapas utilizando a API do Google Maps - Flock. Google Earth Flight Simulator - Flock. Related article: Traffic analysis of this post Some time last week, Google expanded Google Earth with Google Sky.
As fascinating as Google Sky is, that's not the focus of this post. Along with the latest update comes a hidden feature of which I cannot seem to find any other information about. It's not in the release notes and a search on Google produces no results. Seems Google have done one of their unpublicised updates they're becoming well-known for. What I'm talking about is a flight simulator embedded within GE. First of all you'll have to install the latest version of GE. As you can see from the screenshot there are only two aircraft to choose from at this stage.
Before going wild pressing random keys like I did, have a look at the controls. Once you have entered flight simulator mode for the first time, you can re-enter the mode by choosing Tools > Enter Flight Simulator. It can be rather tricky to get the hang of as the controls are quite sensitive. Linux: 15 Coolest Google Earth Finds - Oddee.com - Flock.
Dubbed the "Badlands Guardian" by locals, this geological marvel (Google Earth coordinates 50.010083,-110.113006) in Alberta, Canada, bears an uncanny resemblance to a human head wearing a full Native American headdress--and earphones, to boot.
Of course, The Guardian was produced naturally. A synthetic wonder that can be truly appreciated only from above, this giant man-shaped lake (-21.805149,-49.089977) is located near Bauru, Brazil. This heart-shaped island in the Adriatic became a hit on Google Earth for Valentine's Day. The uninhabited island is only 130,000 square yards and is called Galesnjak. The owner didn't even know how perfectly this island off the Croatian coast was until he was swamped with requests from couples to stay there.
This fingerprint can be found in Hove Park, near Brighton and Hove in the UK. 10 Amazing Google SketchUp Buildings - PC World - Flock. Among all the free tools that Google produces, Google's 3D modeling software, SketchUp, has to be one of the best and most addicting.
Top Ten Google Sightseeing Posts 2009 - Google Sightseeing. 1.
Top 10 Street Views, April 2009 Following an absolutely massive launch of Street View imagery across Europe in March, one particular image attracted a lot of traffic to the site. It has since been removed from Google Maps, but others from our roundup remain; like the brilliant depiction of British people's astonishing ability to queue, even in the face of compelling evidence that it's utterly pointless. 2. Naked Street View Immediately after the European Street View rollout, this post also seemed to attract a lot of traffic. 3. We're not sure what this post says about Britain and our place-naming methodology, but a lot of people seemed to find something amusing in places called Titty Ho, Crapstone, Sluts Hole Lane, Penistone, Dick Place, Minge Lane and Butt Hole Road. Or was it just us that thought this was hysterical? Earlier this month we also posted a follow-up featuring the Top 10 Rudest Place Names in America, featuring the brilliant Climax, Michigan.

More than ever, the internet has enabled us to work in global and distributed teams.
Whether as part of our jobs, voluntary ventures, or joint blogs, working with people around the world has become part of life for many of us. Sometimes, it is so easy that we don't even know where the people we're working with are located. Shared, collaborative Google Maps can help solve that issue and improve the perception of proximity by creating a visualization of all the team members' location.

During the UN Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen this week, Google unveiled an advanced Google Earth prototype that allows satellite imagery to show and measure the progression of deforestation in regions around the world.
Google teamed up with software experts Greg Asner, from Carnegie Institution for Science, and Carlos Souza, from Imazon (both institutions with forest data programs used in Latin America) and created a "cloud-based computing" technology that gathers all satellite imagery data for a region and displays them in a user-friendly format. Google offers before and after stills of the technology on their blog: BEFORE: Deforestation in Rondonia, Brazil (1975-2001) using satellite imagery AFTER: Deforestation in Mato Grosso, Brazil (Augustin 2009-September 2009) using SAD technology created by Carolos Souza.

A fully differential Doherty power amplifier (PA) is implemented in a 0.13-mum CMOS technology. The prototype achieves a maximum output power of +31.5 dBm with a peak power-added efficiency (PAE) of 36% (39% drain efficiency) with a GMSK modulated signal. The PAE is kept above 18% over a 10 dB range of output power. With a GSM/EDGE input signal, the measured peak output power while still meeting the GSM/EDGE mask and error vector magnitude (EVM) requirements is +25dBm with a peak PAE of 13% (PAE is 6% at 12 dB back-off). Instead of using a bulky lambda/4 transmission line, a passive impedance inverter is implemented as a compact lumped-element network. All circuit components are fully integrated on a single CMOS die except for an off-chip capacitor for output matching and baluns. The die size is 2.8times3.2mm2 including all pads and bypass capacitors

Introduction from the U.P. of Michigan
After lurking for the better part of two years, I figure it's time to post. My name is John Richardson, and I live in Negaunee, MI. Currently I am employed as a millwright, working the local paper mills, power plants and iron mines, but I always have been and always will be a heavy equipment mechanic. Can't deny your past, I guess.
Machining is always something I've wanted to do, and I began shopping for machines about five years ago. The current arsenal includes an Atlas 618, a 4901 Clausing, a Sieg X3, and a Rockwell vertical with DRO, etc. I soon learned the limits of the Atlas, and purchased the Clausing. The X3 is still in use, as the Rockwell is in storage with my welders and other non machine related tooling until I can dismantle it and bring it into our very small basement.
I have no machining experience at all, and the local schools have discontinued their programs years ago. Although I have always been a quick learner, I am having trouble with a lot of the basics. I've got an Upshur vertical engine partially complete, and am starting to use my 4901 a bit more. I believe that a lot of my issues have to do with the cheap tooling I purchased, ie Chinese boring bars, etc.
If anyone in the area is interested in meeting up, please let me know. I have a few questions to ask already, but will save those for a bit later.

J Richardson:
My great grandparents from Germany settled in Negaunee in the late 1850s. Unfortunately my great grandfather failed to buy the farm which later became the Moss mine. Instead he bought the property on the Carp river where iron ore had previously been first smelted. No significant ore was found there. That property is now a park. From my memory a long time ago there was a marker by the river where the first smelting was done.
Sorry to hear about the schools and shop courses. This is happening in most places. About 1900 Negaunee was considered to have had one of the best school systems in the state.
When my dad was a young boy they could go close to the mine shafts and watch the machinery. Also the rail track ran right thru downtown. In those days much of what was made was local. Butcher shops, bakeries, blacksmiths, and so on. Thus, young people were closely exposed to how things were done. Deer hunting was a prime source of winter food. My dad's uncle owned the hardware store, livery stable, and the furniture store. So these were all part of his experience.
When I was young and my dad took me to see the mine shafts we were not allowed to get at all close. Quite a difference.
I wish you good luck in finding others with similar interests in the area.

I have a barber that plays a button box. He comes up to your neighborhood for deer hunting, playing in various bands, etc etc. Did I say he never drinks when playing in these bands. I am taking this thread to him just for giggles. Same hometown.

Hello John,
Greetings from down south. Glad to have you here.
Had a friend from Ishpeming years ago. He once asked me "Why you no hello me when you know me so well?"
I have no idea what he meant. I just smiled and nodded anyway.
When asked what he thought of the rednecks down here he replied "Ya people got noothin on the fookin necks in UP Mishghen".
Good luck to you and yours,

Hi John- glad to hear from someone who is almost a neighbor; I have a camp in SW Marquette Co., near Horseshoe Lake. While that alone doesn't make me a Yooper, it gets me a nickname so I can go to town, Eh? Yup, still reffered to by locals as a "trunk slammer".
Glad to see you post. I have a son and grandchildren in the Houghton/Hancock area and sister-in-law in Marq.
Anyway, I will be glad to help/answer questions anyway I can; PM me. If you have a digital camera, the guys/gals here will be happy to respond.
I'm at camp in the spring (until the bugs come), some summer and most of the fall chasing grouse until the snow comes.
Stopping around will not be a problem on our weekly grocery run to the IGA in Ishpeming.-Jerald (Clio, near Fliint/Frankenmuth/Birch Run)

Thanks for the welcome. To answer a few questions to those who responded. Ispheming is roughly 3 miles from Negaunee, and can be thought of as "sister cities", if they can be called cities at all. As far as snow, we really got hammered last week, and certainly have a few feet on the ground, although yesterday's and today's warm spell are putting a dent in it.
The weather here has been as inconsistent as the rest of the country. And as for Horseshoe Lake, I'm out there several times a year, as a friends parents live there full time. Let me know the next time you're up.
Anyhow, I start a 10 day stretch at the Empire Mine on Monday, working on the balling drums, and then will be back on the roof at the Tilden Mine after that. It can get pretty cold up there in the winter. I believe they offer tours in the summer, if anyone gets up this way then. If you've never been in a mine you may find it interesting.
Take care, and thanks again.

If you can outshoot a 150 6.3 Fuji, you be a better photographer than me. I have had mine since 1985.
Of course I don't blow mine up to 30 by 40 but I see nothing in my 16x20s that would indicate any lack of sharpness other than personal mistakes, I mean artistic decisions, I might have made.
Save the money. Buy more film.

UltraVPN is a practical tool that allows you to route your Internet connection through a secure server in order to protect your personal data. It is based on the OpenVPN application and allows you to use its features in order to create the secure connection.
The interface of the app is simple and allows you to connect to the VPN by simply entering a user and an address. You do not need to create a paid account or open a webpage in order to create the account. Just enter the login credentials in the main window of the application and you are done.
The main window provides you with information about the connection status and displays the potential errors. When started for the firrst time the application scans the OpenVPN folder for configuration files and attempts to create a connection with the detected parameters.
You can set a default connection for the program by creating a shortcut and using the "--connect" parameter. The Options window allows you to change the connection parameters and to use a proxy server for connecting the Internet.
In our tests, the program had problems in connecting the secure network and did not manage to successfully anonymize the IP address of the user. It seems as the support for this application has ceased and it is no longer suitable for routing the Internet access.
Overall, UltraVPN is a lightweight application designed to protect your identity while you are browsing the Internet. Unfortunately, it is no longer functional due to lack of support so you need to look for another solution.

These plastic barrier properties were tested and validated by the Centre for Process Innovation, UK.
With a level of protection that surpasses the ideal requirements for such films to date, manufacturers now have the opportunity to extend the lifetime of plastic electronic devices by leaps and bounds!," says Senthil Ramadas, principal investigator of the project.
Research that offers total solutions:
A stumbling block in developing ultra-high barrier substrates has been the availability of an appropriate testing methodology.
Overcoming this hurdle, the IMRE project team has developed a highly sensitive moisture and oxygen permeation measurement system in tandem with the development of the film which is able to effectively measure permeation of less than 10-8g/m2/day. This system has been successfully implemented in a number of service based industry projects.
Adds Senthil, Together with our expertise in encapsulation processes and permeation measurement technologies we are also able to provide a total solution package for industries such as flexible solar cells and OLED displays producers.
The Next Step:
Recognising the potential of the high performance substrate technology, Exploit Technologies Pte Ltd (ETPL), the commercialisation arm of A*STAR, has funded the team through a flagship project that seeks out research with excellent commercialisation potential.
Boon Swan Foo, the Executive Chairman of ETPL said, Exploit Technologies sees commercial potential in A*STAR IMREs breakthrough barrier film technology. It has excellent promise for enabling the fast growing plastic electronics industry. We want to take this technology from the lab to the market.
The research team is already in talks with solar cel

In the study, 222 children ages 5 to 17, including both typically developing children and high-functioning children with ASD, were tested for how well they could understand speech with increasing levels of background noise. In one test, the researchers played audio recordings of simple words. In a second test, the researchers played a video of the speaker articulating the words, but no audio. A third test presented the children with both the audio and video recordings.
The test mimics the so-called "cocktail party" effect: a noisy environment with many different people talking. In such settings, people naturally rely on both auditory and facial clues to understand what another person is saying. "You get a surprisingly big boost out of lip-reading, compared with hearing alone," said Dr. Foxe. "It's an integrative process."
In the first test (audio alone), the children with ASD performed almost as well as typically developing children across all age groups and all background noise levels. In the second test (video alone), the children with ASD performed significantly worse than the typically developing children across all age groups and all background noise levels. "But the typically developing children didn't perform very well, either," said Dr. Foxe. "Most people are fairly terrible at lip-reading."
In the third test (audio and video), the younger children with ASD, ages 6 to 12, performed much worse than the typically developing children of the same age, particularly at higher levels of background noise. However, among the older children, there was no difference in performance between the typically developing and children with ASD.
"In adolescence, something amazing happens and the kids with ASD begin to perform like the typically developing kids," said Dr. Foxe. "At this point, we can't explain why. It may be a function

With the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity, the metabolic syndrome has been studied among children in many countries but not in Malaysia. Hence, this study aimed to compare metabolic risk factors between overweight/obese and normal weight children and to determine the influence of gender and ethnicity on the metabolic syndrome among school children aged 9-12 years in Kuala Lumpur and its metropolitan suburbs.
A case control study was conducted among 402 children, comprising 193 normal-weight and 209 overweight/obese. Weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and body composition were measured, and WHO (2007) growth reference was used to categorise children into the two weight groups. Blood pressure (BP) was taken, and blood was drawn after an overnight fast to determine fasting blood glucose (FBG) and full lipid profile, including triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC). International Diabetes Federation (2007) criteria for children were used to identify metabolic syndrome.
Participants comprised 60.9% (n = 245) Malay, 30.9% (n = 124) Chinese and 8.2% (n = 33) Indian. Overweight/obese children showed significantly poorer biochemical profile, higher body fat percentage and anthropometric characteristics compared to the normal-weight group. Among the metabolic risk factors, WC ≥90th percentile was found to have the highest odds (OR = 189.0; 95%CI 70.8, 504.8), followed by HDL-C≤1.03 mmol/L (OR = 5.0; 95%CI 2.4, 11.1) and high BP (OR = 4.2; 95%CI 1.3, 18.7). Metabolic syndrome was found in 5.3% of the overweight/obese children but none of the normal-weight children (p < 0.01). Overweight/obese children had higher odds (OR = 16.3; 95%CI 2.2, 461.1) of developing the metabolic syndrome compared to normal-weight children. Binary logistic regression showed no significant association between age, gender and family history of communicable diseases with the metabolic syndrome. However, for ethnicity, Indians were found to have higher odds (OR = 5.5; 95%CI 1.5, 20.5) compared to Malays, with Chinese children (OR = 0.3; 95%CI 0.0, 2.7) having the lowest odds.
We conclude that being overweight or obese poses a greater risk of developing the metabolic syndrome among children. Indian ethnicity is at higher risk compared to their counterparts of the same age. Hence, primary intervention strategies are required to prevent this problem from escalating.

► Sir Peter Fahy will enjoy "the traditional Greater Manchester Police (GMP) dish of chips and gravy – none of this posh nosh" for his last supper as chief before he rides off into the sunset to head up international children's charity Retrak later this month. But where will the greasy grub come from? The desolate zone around GMP's glossy new HQ in Newton Heath is a nutritional desert. Despite being a hub for thousands of police officers as well as salarymen working in nearby offices for firms including Fujitsu, there is not so much as a barista in sight. The only source of nourishment is the headquarters' café, described as "crap" by a source, who added: "There's nothing around here. There's butterfly bushes and that's about it." This time last year PoliceOracle.com reported that GMP officers were "too busy to eat", but maybe it's just that they can't find anywhere to fill their bellies. Someone should occupy this gap in the market – fast.
► Speaking of refreshment, police family favourite, author and all round twitterholic Mike Pannett has exclusively revealed that he has 10,000 of boxes of Yorkshire Gold tea stored in his house. "I'm sponsored by them," explained the Yorkshireman, who hands out tea boxes in place of business cards. "It's me and Wallace and Gromit." During the London Riots, Mike sent scores of boxes of tea to New Scotland Yard to help with morale. His books include "Now Then, Lad" and "Just the Job, Lad". You get the picture. He served for two decades in the police, latterly as a countryside and wildlife crime officer.
► While we're on the subject, Sergeant Rob Taylor of North Wales Police, who is an expert in rural policing, took to Twitter last month to post a picture of a canine sledge puller. "Recently this breed of dog has been responsible for a higher number of sheep attacks than other breeds," he wrote. "Husky. Why?" He added: "Thinking outside the box here. Links to full moons? Anyone got any thoughts on this? Must be something I'm missing." The local paper duly obliged. "Game of Thrones could be linked to increase in husky attacks in North Wales," ran a headline in the Daily Post. The article added that an unprecedented rise in unwanted huskies could also be linked to the success of American film franchise Twilight.
► Congratulations! The prize for the most incomprehensible speech by a police chief goes to Cheshire Constabulary's Simon Byrne. Promoting a Twitter hashtag, #LeadersMakeChoices, as an alternative to the Fed's #CutsHaveConsequences, he spoke about his "focus on prevention, coupled with a personal wrap around when that effort fails". Personal wrap around? Does this mean a big hug? Incidentally, the Cheshire force recently celebrated its work helping "customers". Blegh! How about another hashtag, #Gobbledygook?
► The prize for the worst spelling by a police organisation, meanwhile, goes to the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC), which recently sent out a press release talking about "powerful encrytion" of digital communications. "NPCC Lead on Communications Data, Assistant Chief Constable Richard Berry, responds to Apple's recent anouncement (sic) that they are committed to using powerful encrytion (sic) on their devices." The NPCC replaced ACPO earlier this year at a cost of goodness knows what. At the time, no one in the press office could explain what had changed. As one senior cop remarked at the time: "Marathon has become Snickers."

What Customers Are Saying About the DVD:
Here is a photo of me next to the control panel for my new Aprilaire 700. Unfortunately you can't see the unit itself because of the tight installation area on the supply run. Your service and support have been awesome! The installation video was very helpful with this unit. Thanks for you prompt shipping! I will definitely use your company again for my a/c and furnace supply needs.
The instructions and video made installation very easy. The entire job took about two hours. The added humidity has made winters almost enjoyable in New England.
The installation was very successful with absolutely no problems. Your DVD was very helpful. As you can see in the pictures, I decided to tape down all the wiring. It all works great! Thank you.
Installing this 2-ton Goodman central air conditioner was not only easy but also a lot of fun. The installation video was very helpful because of the step-by-step instructions. It helped me to complete the installation faster than I expected. Thank you.
Installation was relatively easy, even though, in my case, I had to install on the return side which was a bit tight, as you might see from the picture. The video included helped a lot.
I must say this portion of the install went like clockwork. The video showed just what to do. Thanks, Chuck Hall
I was able put in the furnace and electronic air filters with help from your DVD and my mother. No kidding! Very happy with your service and your company.
The unit arrived in a short time and in good shape. The installation went well, and the video was of help for a few details I was not sure of since this was my first AC installation. Thank you for your help and the great pricing.

'Oblivion' blends clichés into satisfying escapist fare
The thuddingly titled "Oblivion" stitches together genre clichés into a surprisingly satisfying tale with enough twists to give you a surprise or two.
There's not much original here on the face of it. A dash of "Wall*E," some "I Am Legend," a climax straight out of "Independence Day," and all of it based on a graphic novel by director Joseph Kosinski, who previously directed "Tron: Legacy." The result is good enough to feed the hunger for big-screen fantasy until the summer movie season begins. »Read Full Article

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Anybody have this setup with little kids?
My main concern is if there was a fire and we couldn't get upstairs. We will have a fire ladder, but I don't think our son can use that now.
At what age do you think a kid would be able to use a fire ladder?
Lindsay; Chloe 2/07, Quin 5/09, Kelley 2/11
Check out my handmade jewelry: Twisted Designs
I live in a 1.5 story with the master on the first floor and 2 bedrooms upstairs. We purchased it back in 2001 before kids were ever a consideration. I personally like the set-up as it allows me to keep all of the kid stuff upstairs and have more adult space in the rest of the house. I also keep a baby gate up overnight in the upstairs hallway so that they can use the restroom but aren't roaming all over the house or tumbling down the stairs. It was a PITA when the kids were infants to have to run upstairs to tend to the MOTN a couple of times but now that they are both STTN I have no problem with the set-up, especially with the addition of a video monitor to their room.
I'm not too concerned about fire. Although a possibility it is most likely a slim possiblity that you would actually be home and asleep and not able to wake by alarm before the house burst into flames requiring a second story window exit, YKWIM?

I don't but I would tend to agree that as far as possibilities go, it's a remote one. According to the NFPA, 2/3 of deaths were from homes not having working smoke alarms. www.nfpa.org/assets/files/PDF/Smoke... That is what you should make sure to concentrate on. If it helps you sleep better at night, double up on the fire alarms and maybe install the ones that sense for heat/smoke and CO2. You could also look up all the other 'risk factors' and make sure those aren't the case and I think you'd be 1000% safer than the average American (that does have all bedrooms together). For instance, from the National Fire Protection Ag. lists lighters/candles/other heat sources as a factor in home fires with children. Some very reasonable precautions can make you and your DH able to sleep well in the master IMO, but again, if you're not going to be able to sleep at night, go ahead and make up a guest bedroom and sleep up there for a few years, its not the end of the world either.
I hope I'm not just making this worse but I wanted to provide this link. There doesn't seem to be anything that has an increased risk of deaths regarding the number of floors and its broken down by a LOT of factors. Don't read it all if it'll just make you crazy, but wanted you to know I looked.
I have the nagging "what if" also. I don't sleep on a different floor from my kids until I'm positive they could get out by themselves in a fire. I can't imagine fire on the stairs and I couldn't get up or down to them.

Cameron pilots plans for 3-D film about ocean dive
Director James Cameron is photographed during a portrait session at a central London hotel following the 'Titanic 3D' UK film premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington, West London, Tuesday, March 27, 2012. The re-launch of the Titanic 3D version comes 15 years after the film was a huge box office hit. The film director also recently completed a record dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, plunging 35756 feet to the depths of the ocean, spending 3 hours on the sea floor in a specially designed submarine. (AP Photo/Joel Ryan)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Cameron will be one of the stars of his next big-screen adventure, a chronicle of the expedition on which he has made record-setting ocean dives.
Cameron said he plans a TV special for National Geographic and a 3-D theatrical release on the Deepsea Challenger missions, which included his seven-mile descent to the ocean's deepest point in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific. It was the deepest solo dive ever, surpassing the five-mile descent he made a few weeks earlier.
The film could be ready late this year or early next year, depending on how much additional shooting he and his colleagues need to do, Cameron said in a telephone interview Tuesday night, after the premiere of a 3-D version of his 1997 blockbuster "Titanic," which sails into theaters next week.
"We're shooting the whole expedition as a 3-D film," Cameron said from London, where he had rushed for the "Titanic" screening after completing his dive Monday in the one-man sub Deepsea Challenger, which he helped design.
Much of the design effort focused on building small, lightweight digital 3-D cameras that could withstand ocean pressures of 16,000 pounds a square inch, Cameron said.
They were a huge leap forward from the cameras he used to shoot his first 3-D film, the 2003 Titanic documentary "Ghosts of the Abyss."
"They're a tenth of the size and weight of the 3-D camera that I used to go down to Titanic depth," Cameron said. "We spent a fair bit of the development budget of the sub figuring out how we would be lighting it and how we would do 3-D photography at full ocean depth. We did tackle a lot of challenges, but always, the thinking was this expedition is going to get paid for by a film."
Cameron has been planning the expedition since 2005, while he simultaneously worked on the 3-D conversion of "Titanic" and made "Avatar," the sci-fi blockbuster that displaced "Titanic" as the biggest modern blockbuster with $2.8 billion worldwide.
"Titanic" co-star Bill Paxton, who dove with Cameron to the wreck of the ship for "Ghosts of the Abyss," said he had nervously followed accounts of the filmmaker's dive and that his first words when seeing him before Tuesday's premiere were, "Godspeed, Jim Cameron."
"I was very apprehensive and so anxious to hear that he was OK," Paxton said. "I've been two and a half miles down at the wreck of the Titanic with him. That's one thing. But seven miles, that's like going to the moon. In a one-man sub that's only been tested to a certain depth. ... Here's a guy who bets his life on the technology he makes. I've been very lucky to have a front-row seat to one of the most remarkable careers in Hollywood and beyond."
Cameron's dive was the first in 52 years to a section of the trench known as Challenger Deep. The only other manned dive there was done in 1960 by U.S. Navy Capt. Don Walsh and Swiss engineer Jacques Piccard.

The HP Pavilion x360 is a convertible hybrid laptop that flips its touch screen around to act like a slate tablet. It has an entry-level price, making it a good system for the Windows 8 novice.Read the full review →
As low as
conclusion:Pass on it
The Pavilion x360 is yet another 11-inch device looking to combine the work capabilities of a laptop with the comfort and intimacy of a tablet. The screen even folds back to let you switch between the two modes, just like Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga 2 11. Unfortunately, the x360 is all style with very little substance.
The x360 certainly looks good, with PC World noting that its "striking, slightly glittery, red chassis wowed me as soon as I opened the box." PC Mag compared it to a "flashy convertible automobile" and CNET says the x360's "rounded corners and playful design gives it an accessible, consumer-gadget feel." And no need to worry about the hinge, which PC World says "is nothing if not sturdy." But the screen doesn't live up to the x360's otherwise good looks, delivering a 1366 x 768 resolution that Trusted Reviews says "means immediate compromise," while Laptop Magazine calls the image quality "serviceable" and "a bit too dim for our liking." CNET says its "excessively glossy overlay" helps make it "virtually unusable, even in modest sunlight" and ultimately, the display "could be a dealbreaker."
… show more While not as bad, the x360's performance is also middling, with CNET calling it "sluggish at times" and Pocket-Lint says that even "simple tasks were slow." CNET at least found that compared to the Yoga 2, "the x360 ran some of our benchmark tests faster" and "the tile-based Windows 8 interface is fast and responsive with virtually any processor," but you shouldn't expect "mainstream laptop performance." The battery life was also a letdown, with CNET calling it "merely average" and PC World says it struggles "to last just half a day."
If you're looking for that one convertible device that will allow you to ditch both your laptop and tablet, the Pavilion x360 is not it. It's too slow, the screen is too dark and even the device itself is too chunky when compared to a tablet. If you're willing to trade performance for convenience the x360 still isn't a good deal, as you'd be better off with the Yoga 2 11 or even the Transformer Book T100, which offers solid performance and a convertible form factor at a great price.

First Looks
You can use it in regular laptop mode or flip the screen around and perch it on the table tent-style to use it in a more tablet-like fashion ... it seemed to work well on basic tasks, and the 1,366 x 768 IPS touchscreen was bright and responsive.Read the full preview →
The x360 has a really great price point and user modes, but we can't help but be disappointed with the relative lack of power. We know it's a budget device, but we'd certainly rather pay a little more for a tad more get-up-and-go.Read the full preview →
