Stay Woke: This New iPhone Feature Could Cost You Hundreds Of Dollars
Apple's latest iOS9 update came with several new helpful features, but there's one add-on that the software company could have kept to themselves. The feature is called "Wi-Fi Assist," and technically, it's supposed to help you out. However, if not properly monitored, it can send your monthly cell phone bill skyrocketing.
How it works: According to Metro UK, the feature is programmed to switch from Wi-Fi to 4G whenever the software determines that your wireless internet connection is poor.
In other words, you could be laid out in your living room kiki-ing as you watch every silly video that pops up on your Instagram and Facebook feeds because you're thinking your phone is hooked up to the Wi-Fi and out of nowhere, the iOS gods decide that your connection isn't up to par and switches back to 4G. Hours pass—because we all know what a black hole Instagram and Facebook can be when you have free time—and just like that, you've used up half of your monthly data allowance in one sitting and U.O.E.N.O.
Thankfully, for those of us who don't have much data to burn, there is a simple solution to this problem. Just turn off the feature.
Step 1: Open the Settings tab.
Step 2: Select the Cellular option.
Step 3: Scroll all the way down and when you reach Wi-Fi Assist, swipe left. The setting is located at the bottom of the page.
Step 4: Scroll back up and hit the Settings tab at the top of the page. If you simply exit out of the Cellular window, the change may not be saved.
And you're all done!
Apple May Be Releasing A New iPhone In September
There has been heavy speculation and reports that Apple will be releasing a new phone in September.
Apple is known for announcing new releases in September, so with their upcoming event on September 9 we're pretty sure we'll be hearing about the new iPhone 6s or 7.
The Verge, a technology news and media network, predicts that since Apple is on it's "S" cycle, the new phone will be physically identical to the iPhone 6, but will come with some internal upgrades like hardware changes. Features such as the Apple Watch's "force touch technology" may be included. Along with the possible iPhone reveal, Apple usually introduces a slew of other new tech products. We're hoping for a new iPad and a new version of Apple TV.
Stay tuned for more updates on what Apple is creating for tech savvy consumers.
Tech Specs: Flipagram Fun For Families
The Internet has given people the opportunity to do a myriad of things. Aside from being an endless source of information, people can communicate using a variety of apps and networks. Social Media is a key component to keeping people informed and connected. Moms are beginning to use social media networks a little more. They like sharing family pictures and happenings as they occur. Imagine being able to share stories, events, and announcements with family and friends with the click of a button. Flipagram allows users to create awesome photo visuals with great sound clips to match.
Flipagram is one of the top social media photo-sharing sites to date. People are creating their stories and accomplishments and setting the presentation to the tunes that best suit their visual. This is a great tool for families who are ready and willing to get their tech on. Flipagram posts can be shared across a variety of networks, saved as a file, and even emailed to others to be seen. This is a great way to keep everyone in the loop, especially family members who are many miles away.
Viewers can integrate video and voice recordings into one Flipagram post. The speed of the post can be adjusted so that people will have enough time to see everything. If viewers missed something or want to see a specific visual, the app allows them to go back and scroll through the presentation flick by flick. This app is easy to use so people of all ages can get involved.
Celebrities are taking to Flipagram to show off some of their best family moments as well. "Extra" host Mario Lopez showed off his family with this Father's Day Flipagram http://flipagram.com/MarioLopezExtra
We played with the app for quite some time and came up with a few cool ways for mom's to use Flipagram. These are definitely fun and creative ways to do things different and outside the box.
Birth Announcements: Flipagram is perfect for putting together a collage of pictures to announce the birth of a new baby. While selecting one picture is always tough, you can use as many as you like with a Flipagram announcement. The presentation can be set to a lullaby or your favorite tune of choice.
Party Invites: Flipagram is a fun and creative way to make invitations for any kind of gathering. Weddings, birthday parties, BBQ's, and even family reunion invites can be created with the Flipagram app.
Event Recaps: Parents are always taking pictures of their kids. Dance recitals, athletic games, family vacations, and graduations are just a few of the events that seem to get a lot of camera action. Flipagram makes it easy for families to share their child's special moment. Instead of randomly uploading pics, create the story of the event on Flipagram and share!
Recipes: Sharing recipes on Flipagram is a great way to show other moms some of the cooking tricks that work for them in the kitchen. Whether it's how to trick kids into eating veggies or food prep methods the week, Flipagram is a great way to share ideas.
Milestones: Most moms go crazy with the milestone pictures. Take those month to month pics and Flip them to tell the story of the whole year! Folks won't have to click picture to picture. They simply press play and see the entire montage of pics.
Inspirational: Inspire someone with your journey through motherhood via Flipagram. Being a mom is not an easy job. Sharing your story and experiences with other Flipagram users can help motivate someone else who may be having a difficult time.
Take a few minutes and visit Flipagram.com to download the version that works best for you.

Customers Voice Frustrations Over Verizon Wireless Trade-In Deal
When the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus phones were announced, phone carriers scrambled to offer the best deals, plans and discounts to lure new customers and incentivize current customers to upgrade. However, Verizon Wireless seems to be giving several customers the run around when it comes to cashing in on their trade-in promotion.
The company's promotional trade-in program is supposed to allow customers who purchase the iPhone 6 or the iPhone 6 Plus to trade-in their old iPhone and receive up to $350 in-store credit (depending on the phone's condition, make and model). Models that are eligible for the promotion include the 4S, 5, 5C and the 5S.
Full disclosure, I am also a Verizon Wireless customer who attempted this deal. For my 4S which was in good working condition I was quoted $200.
All went well initially. I was able to complete some information online and got my packaging information within seven days. I cleared off all my data, reset my phone and deactivated Find My iPhone–also known as the Activation Lock.
There were a lot of steps to complete to ensure that the full value of the promotion would be honored so I went into my local Verizon Wireless store just to make sure I had done everything correctly. I got the all clear and sent my phone in the mail on September 22nd. Then, I heard nothing for weeks, until I got an email that said they had not yet received my device, and in the meantime they'd give me a $36 gift card.
However, Verizon has a website where you can check the status of your device. Upon checking that site, I realized they had received my device but changed my value to $36 because they claimed my Activation Lock was not turned off. Knowing this was not true, I attempted to get in touch with them to correct the issue. (There's also another website where you can enter your device's serial number and check the status of the Activation Lock, upon checking this I learned that my device's Activation Lock was definitely off). However, due to high call volume, you cannot reach anyone at the trade-in program customer service desk. It's simply a recording that offers a few prompts and then hangs up.
A quick look through Twitter shows several customers have taken to social media to air their frustrations after being unable to get in touch with the customer service representatives for the trade-in program, and being denied their promo deals:
One user points out that they were told the trade-in program is being handled by a third party. Verizon Wireless has not yet confirmed or denied this claim with us. However, not everyone is complaining.
The whole trade in thing with verizon to get a new iPhone is perf — Kate (@k8huds) October 14, 2014
But further inquiry revealed that she hadn't completed her promo deal yet. She just received a quote and sent her phone in the mail.
For those customers who were able to go into the store to redeem the deal, the process seemed to go smoothly.
Other customers like Larry Artzner, who emailed us, are experiencing frustration because they intended to complete the deal, and have not received the mailing materials to send the old iPhone in.
"Long story short: I am completely in limbo with the trade in. I have been left to hope that the mail-in materials arrive, and Verizon honors the trade-in despite the fact I received my phones more than 7 days ago," he explained in a lengthy email to us detailing his experience. "This was absolutely the most horrendous display of customer service from start to finish (whenever it's finally finished)."
T-Mobile and Sprint have previously stated they would match any trade-in offer. Sprint also offers another deal called the "iPhone for Life" plan. According to Sprint, the plan allows customers to lease the newest iPhone for $20 a month and after two years you can trade up to the newest iPhone while still paying $20 a month.
We reached out to Verizon Wireless for comment. Here's what they had to say:
While we do not disclose numbers I can say that we have been experiencing higher call volumes due to the positive reaction to our latest trade-in promotion. The teams are working to ensure customers have a positive experience and I can certainly pass along the feedback to the teams here.
We reached out with further questions specifically addressing where a customer can turn if there's a dispute regarding the condition of the phone. We also asked whether Verizon is handling this program internally, or if they've brought on a third party. We have not yet heard back regarding those specifics.
Have you successfully completed the trade-in program for Verizon Wireless? Let us know if you have a success story or a frustrating failed experience with the promo deal in the comments below.

Protecting Our Children: 5 Mobile Safety Apps for Parents and Kids

Circle Sept. 9! Apple Rumored To Announce iPhone 6 Next Month
iPhone lovers mark your calendars. Tech blog Re/Code reports Apple will officially debut its latest smartphone, the iPhone 6, on next month September 9th. If Apple does make the announcement on that day, the phones will hit the market 10 days later, on September 19.
The phone is expected to be larger than any iPhone before it, featuring a 4.7-inch screen. "Apple has also been said to be working on a 5.5-inch version of the iPhone 6, but recent reports have said Apple may not announce that version until later this year or possibly in early 2015," reports The Los Angeles Times. Japan's Famitsu newspaper reported the iPhone 6 screen would be "significantly" higher in resolution. The resolution for the iPhone 5S is 1136 x 640.
The larger-screen iPhone is expected to help Apple compete with smartphones by Samsung and HTC that have screens larger than the 4-inch iPhone 5s. However, it might be tough to match the sales of the iPhone 5. During its first weekend, the sales figures for the iPhone 5s and 5c totaled nine million, making it Apple's biggest launch, reports 9 To 5 Mac.
Additionally, the iPhone 6 is rumored to be thinner and will feature an all-new metallic design.
"One of the most persistent rumors has been that iPhone 6 will be covered in near-indestructible sapphire glass. Several online videos purported to show users bending, stabbing, scratching and hitting these displays to prove their worth. However while sapphire will still be used for the camera lens and home button, analysts recently said there had not been enough sapphire glass in the manufacturing supply chain to indicate the phone will be covered in it," reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
Of course, Apple is staying mum on the details for now.

New iPhone Case, The CaseCam, Helps You Get Your Arm Out Of Selfies
One of the worse things about selfies–other than they tap into everyone's narcissism–is the photos almost always have your camera-holding arm pictured as well. Well, someone has come up with a way to get rid of the "I-am-taking-my-own-picture" look. It is an unofficial new iPhone case called CaseCam. It actually works as a mini tripod so you don't have to hold the phone while taking photos.
It has a little mirror that holds your phone up that serves as the tripod. The camera is then basically taking a photo of the mirror, which is pointed at you, reports The Huffington Post.
The one drawback: you have to find a surface of the right height to use the case properly. But still a cool idea and now the makers of CaseCam have launched a Kickstarter page. They want to raise $25,000 before August 21 to make the CaseCam for iPhone 5 and 5S. The proposed price: $40 for a CaseCam.
The CaseCam might turn into something big. Who doesn't take a selfie these days? Even President Obama has been caught doing so. "Millions are shared each and every day across all the major social media platforms. Indeed, according to data from Samsung, selfies make up almost one-third of all photos taken by people aged 18-24, with Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat bearing the brunt of that load," reports AllTwitter.

10 Ways To Extend Your iPhone's Battery Life When You're In The Red Zone
Team iPhone won't hesitate to rattle off a long list of features that make their device superior to other phones. Still there are some things about the iPhone life that drive us mad!
Perhaps the most infuriating alert to pop up (aside from the message telling you you've run out of space and can no longer take photos) is the "Low Battery" message. When we're out enjoying the day, or having a night out on the town, it's inevitable that before the night is over you'll be racing and running around to find an outlet.
Well, if you're reading this post you're in luck, because we dug up a few tips and tricks to help you stretch that battery life when you're in the dreaded red zone.
My Little iPad Addict: iNeed Help From Steve Jobs!
My admiration for Steve Jobs is well documented. In fact, in the earliest years of my company's formation, I drew extreme inspiration from the man that founded Apple computers in the 1980's. All of this information is floating out in cyberspace. The point is, I truly do respect the man. Bless his creative, ingenious soul and may he forever rest in pod.
I wish I had the same level of solace in the land of the living. Steve Jobs was a genius of of the unfathomable variety and his inventiveness permeates just about every facet of our lives one way or another. He did it with computers, mobile communication, music, lifestyle and technology. My career has been predicated on being ahead of the curve as far as computers, mobile and technology is concerned. I've never used any other computing device other than Apple. The time has come to rebel!
My daughter is an iPad addict; no, she's addicted to every iProduct imaginable. There are iPads, iPhones, iPods and even the good ol' MacBook. One time, we were supposed to be having a daddy / daughter movie night. In the family room, we watched The Life of Pi together, but she was acting oddly as she nestled herself on the couch. Eventually, she got "sleepy" and I knew something was awry when she got under the covers! She was trying to use her iPad in secrecy all the while pretending to be too fatigued to watch Pi.
This summer I have managed to put my foot down – with Timberland boots on! There is a limit to the time she can use all of Apple's creations. Instead, she will be reading Henry Louis Gates' Africana almanac, swimming, running, playing, helping around the house and generally enjoying youth. These kids just don't get out like the days of old! We would play outside until it was time to come in the house, it seemed. Granted, there was the allure of MTV and video games, but they were nothing like this. Today's child wants to vegetate in front of an iPad and stare – even when they are with friends. There are times when I need to force mine to talk to her home girls when they are together.
There is a flip side to this.
My daughter hates my iPhone too. And my MacBook. It takes time away from her, in her mind.
I let her know that my affinity (not "addiction") is because I am working. And I am working, but we all know a lot is intermingled in that hard work. She even went so far as to buy me a device called "Cell Lock-Up," a toy jail for smart phones. The "Cell Lock-Up" has been collecting dust until recently. I'm doing my best to carve out time to attend to her.
I guess, I'll need to take the proverbial Timberland boot out of my own mouth from time to time.
Steve Jobs. Dude is a part of my life and times. I just have to remember to take his products out of my life from time to time.

i hope this is the right site to post this question.
First of all in my organization we have a lot of HP network printers (2015 and 2055) all have static ip configured and SNMPv2 up and running. I'm looking for a lightweight tool that allows me to monitor the toner status of these printers.
Spiceworks do the job but IMHO has too many features and it's all except lightweight. I'd like to run it in a Linux VM with 512 Mb Ram (if possibile). I checked out Nagios, Cacti, Zabbix, Zenoss and many other i don't recall the name but all of these tools are studied to check uptime or route status.
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance

The much-awaited Settlements on wage revision and pension option have been signed today with the IBA, achieving another landmark in our trade union movement.
The 9th successive Bipartite Settlement has been signed and the wages and service conditions of bank employees have been improved. The Pension option Settlement has also been signed today which enables all the remaining employees to be covered by the D.A. linked Defined Benefit Pension Scheme, which is the best social security measure in the post-retiral life of employees.
We are happy that under the banner of UFBU, all the 9 unions have simultaneously signed the Agreements covering both employees and officers, manifesting the true spirit of the UFBU.
The Settlement covers 46 Banks (26 Public Sector Banks, 12 Private Sector Banks and 8 Foreign Banks) and would benefit 4,77,000 workmen employees and 2,75,000 officers. The Settlement would cost the Banks an additional increase in wages by Rs.5,200 crores per year (Rs.4,816 crores for Public Sector Banks and around Rs.400 crores for private and Foreign Banks). The Settlement will be effective from November 2007 to October 2012.
Under the Settlement all the remaining 2,60,000 employees and officers who are now covered by CPF would be given a chance to join the Pension Scheme – a long time demand of the Unions. More than 50,000 retirees will also get the option to join the pension scheme.
The Settlement is preceded by 30 months of protracted negotiations between the IBA and the unions, and was backed by various agitational programmes and strike actions, which were enthusiastically implemented by the members. There were many anxious moments during this period coupled with loads of misinformation's, orchestrated columnies and virulent propaganda against all our efforts to settle. Added to this were the attempts to undermine the organization, decry the leadership and derail the negotiations. But overcoming this and these, we have concluded the Settlement successfully.

Wishbone replacement opening on Roosevelt
Capri Ristorante returns to Berwyn 15 years after the original burned down
An Oak Parker is reopening an Italian restaurant in Berwyn tomorrow, some 15 years after the original burned down.
Gigi Rovito is unveiling Capri Ristorante Thursday at 6615 W. Roosevelt Road, the former home of Wishbone Restaurant. Here's a story we wrote about the new eatery back in October.
The restaurant will stay open seven days a week and offer both lunch and dinner, according to a press release from Fitzgerald's Nightclub, which owns the property. Check out the full menu here.
"Our customers have been looking forward to a restaurant opening here since last May," owner Bill FitzGerald said in the release. "Capri is going to be a great addition to the block — they have excellent Italian food. We're looking forward to having them provide food for the club down the road, too."

I'm a Dino fan, Epic, but music on a website is never welcome. I understand they're trying to create atmosphere, but photos and good copy work fine for that. Music always seems intrusive.

Jeesus, I have to give their website an A for Annoying. I hope they know their food better than they know their web marketing. And I have to agree with the critics, the pricey Italian niche seems to be overfilled already. I'd love to take a look at their business plan.
Posted: January 26th, 2012 5:46 PM
To those complaining about the price: they are not too much more than Al's or The Olive Garden-they only seem to be a dollar or two higher. And sorry but sometimes some of us want to go to some thing a tad bit more class. I wish them the best of luck !

Great. Just what we needed, because Oak Park does have a shortage of Italian restaurants.... (sarcasm off) Good to see businesses trying to open and succeed in this economy, but can we at least try to be a little more innovative.

It's great that another restaurant has come to the area. The article had a link to the menu, but it was for the Burr Ridge restaurant. If the menu is similarly priced - this will be the most expensive restaurant in the area. More than I can afford.

How would I take a string and only take up to a certain point in the string? If I have the string:
testSetting = f"C:\Users\bgb\Documents\Brent\Code\Variable\Visual Studio\Local.testsettings"
The only part of the string I need is the
Local.testsettings part, but I don't know how to accomplish this, I know you can use
string.strip() But the part in the filepath that says
variable changes every time the filepath gets triggered. (the filepaths are stored in a list and it's in a loop)

Long before he was a big Oscar winner, and prior to his first real break in Dazed and Confused, Matthew McConaughey starred on the small screen – in a country music video.
Yes, that's the future Hollywood superstar playing a sexy hunk in Trisha Yearwood's 1992 video for her hit song, "Walk Away Joe."
The future Hollywood superstar played a hunk in Trisha Yearwood's 1992 video for "Walk Away Joe."
The video, which also features Don Henley on vocals, shows the boyishly handsome, 23-year-old McConaughey chasing his girlfriend through a field of corn, giving her some bedroom eyes, and even skinny-dipping.
So how did this all come about?
"He was cast from local talent in Austin, Tex., where the footage was shot," Yearwood tells PEOPLE. "The performance with Don Henley was shot in Nashville, so I never met Matthew. About 10 years ago, we were both at the Grammys and trying to connect but we kept missing each other – he was backstage when I was in the audience, and vice-versa."
Still, Yearwood says she feels somewhat responsible for discovering his talents early on. "Honestly, I'm so happy to see him recognized for his work in Dallas Buyers Club," she says. "And if he ever wants to be in another Trisha Yearwood video, I won't make him audition."
See other stars who got their big breaks in music videos:
Josh Holloway as a purse snatcher in Aerosmith's "Cryin"
Matt LeBlanc as a hunky hustler in Alanis Morissette's "Walk Away."

Over the last year there has been a recurrent refrain about the seeming bromance between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. More seriously, but relatedly, many believe Trump is an admirer and would-be emulator of Putin's increasingly autocratic and illiberal rule. But there's quite a bit more to the story. At a minimum, Trump appears to have a deep financial dependence on Russian money from persons close to Putin. And this is matched to a conspicuous solicitousness to Russian foreign policy interests where they come into conflict with US policies which go back decades through administrations of both parties. There is also something between a non-trivial and a substantial amount of evidence suggesting Putin-backed financial support for Trump or a non-tacit alliance between the two men.

TL;DR ... Trump is a lying fraud repeating an endless list of fraudulent horror stories and blood libels meant to induce fear and desire for revenge. The rising police death toll claim is another one of these ...
Per the Trump lie factory, the Washington Post notes that these are the average number of police fatalities per year from all forms of attack broken down by presidency ...
Donald Trump's dark, angry law-and-order appeal was a throwback to Richard Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign. Here's Nixon's 1968 acceptance speech:
As we look at America, we see cities enveloped in smoke and flame. We hear sirens in the night. We see Americans dying on distant battlefields abroad. We see Americans hating each other; fighting each other; killing each other at home. And as we see and hear these things, millions of Americans cry out in anguish. Did we come all this way for this?
Ohio Republican says he's now sorry for saying Clinton "should be hanging from a tree." Licking County Commissioner Duane Flowers said he thought public county board of commissioner meeting were off the record and spoke in a moment of high emotion in response to criticism of Melania Trump's speech.

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
One of my babies is still breech — I'm definitely going to have a c-section, right?
Most OBs will recommend a cesarean, but a vaginal birth might still be an option too, especially if a version (turning the baby manually) is successful. When your due date nears and baby is still breech, you and your OB will inevitably discuss both the risks and benefits of giving a version — or even a breech delivery — a shot.

Key challenges to widespread deployment of mobile robots include collaboration and the ability to tailor sensing and information processing to the task at hand. Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), which are an instance of probabilistic sequential decision-making, can be used to address these challenges in domains characterized by partial observability and nondeterministic action outcomes. However, such formulations tend to be computationally intractable for domains that have large complex state spaces and require robots to respond to dynamic changes. This paper presents a hierarchical decomposition of POMDPs that incorporates adaptive observation functions, constrained convolutional policies, and automatic belief propagation, enabling robots to retain capabilities for different tasks, direct sensing to relevant locations, and determine the sequence of sensing and processing algorithms best suited to any given task. A communication layer is added to the POMDP hierarchy for belief sharing and collaboration in a team of robots. All algorithms are evaluated in simulation and on physical robots, localizing target objects in dynamic indoor domains.

The paper develops a numerical procedure based on constrained optimization for evaluating the modal transformation matrices of overhead transmission lines and underground cables. In the method, the eigenvalue-eigenvector equation is transformed into an objective function which is then minimized for finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The method developed avoids completely the problem of eigenvalue switching which causes the discontinuities of eigenvectors encountered in the QR-method. Initial values for starting the optimization at each frequency are the eigenvalues and eigenvectors evaluated at the preceding frequency. This technique leads to the set of smooth eigenvectors that define the modal transformation matrices. The form of the objective function derived in the paper for minimization together with the sequential quadratic programming technique guarantees that convergence to valid eigenvalues and eigenvectors is achieved. Using the method, transformation matrices for a wide range of frequency for representative double-circuit line and underground cable are evaluated

2013-07-26 - Big Sky Country, Montana. After the run-in with the Evil Kanevil motorcycle nuts in Butte, this was an interesting continuation . . .
Signs of travel.
Driving up the good part of the dirt road to the Gimli Peak trailhead. It gets much worse.
2013-07-27 - The three summit of Mt Prestley towering above the dirt road on the way to Gimli.
The three summit of Mt Prestley towering above the dirt road on the way to Gimli.
Alec and his car ready to go. The wire mesh is to keep rubber-eating porcupines from getting in and eating the tires! I think our mesh extends high enough to keep bears out, too. ;-)
Gimli Peak seen from the trailhead.
Gimli Peak seen from the trailhead. The campsites are between the two mounds of rock on the left.
Gimli first reappears after a steep hike through the trees. Almost there!
Nearing the campsites. We took a less direct way up and over the mound on the left of the snowpatch, but the more correct way is to stay to the right of the snowfield.
Gimli Peak and the camping area seen from atop the first rocky mound. The South Ridge is on the right.
Gimli Peak and its awesome S Ridge on the right.
As I neared the camp, this mountain goat trotted down the trail from the site to greet me.
He stopped about 10 feet away and would not get off of the trail. As I didn't want to provoke any charging, I waited until he would move - which he wouldn't do!
Friendly mountain goat overstaying his welcome. Let me pass!
There's something crazy in those eyes.
At last he steps off the trail and lets me pass, but this wouldn't be the last that I'd see of the mountain goats.
Gimli Peak and its awesome S Ridge on the right, seen from camp.
As we set up camp, an entire family of mountain goats trotted down from the slopes above to hang out with us. They hung around all day and the next day after we came down, sometimes hanging out, sometimes coming up to us.
Big and little mountain goat.
Mountain goats. They were more than just indifferent to our presence, they were drawn to us!
Little mountain goats at play.

2013-07-28 - Prestley Peaks to the West.
Nisleheim Peak to the West, forming a pass next to Gimli that a well worn path passes through.
Heading towards Mt Gimli in the morning. Despite there being several parties at the campsite, we were the only ones climbing the South Ridge today!
Alec roping up at the base of the first pitch.
P1 of the S Ridge of Gimli Peak. A long, sustained and classic pitch, one of the best on the route, and in my opinion, the crux.
P1, looking at the crux, a hard undercling. I thought this was more committing and nearly as difficult as the big roof crux higher on the route.
Alec following P1.
Alec leading P2. Unfortunately this pitch eased up in a hurry and was then mostly a scramble.
Following P2, which had some interesting face climbing on horizontal dike bands.
Looking down P2. Getting some air!
Alec on the comfy belay pedestal atop P2. I stepped across onto the face to lead P3.
Looking up P3, which has a lot of thin, airy face climbing. Seeking cracks for pro and more comfortable climbing, I went too far right and around the corner, but found my way back to the ridge crest on a ledge a short ways above the 'official' ending ledge with a small tree.
Alec leading the remainder of P4, a fun but short 5.6 lieback, before the terrain eased up dramatically before the big grassy ledge.
Following class 4 terrain on P4 towards the large grassy ledge.
Wolfs Ears to the east.
Alec looking up P5, a sustained and classic 5.8 crack. As I felt bad that he had gotten the only two boring pitches of the climb, I offered this pitch to him, also thinking he was still going to lead the roof above.
Alec leading P5 as it recedes into the sky.
Prestley Peaks to the west.
Following P5, an excellent 5.8 crack!
The 'crux' roof looms above on P6. Originally rated 5.8, this route's rating was bumped to 5.10a due to this.
Alec offered me the lead, so off I went! Very easy climbing up into the roof, where I had to figure out how to make the big step left.
Mark leading the crux pitch (5.9+) of the South ridge. (by Alec LaLonde)
Alec leading P6 to finish the route. Basically cl. 4 apart from the short 5.7 step that he was on, then it eases back into class 3 and then class 2. I'd recommend halfing the rope and simul-climbing to the summit for this pitch.
The easy 'scramble' to the false summit.
The easy 'scramble' to the false summit, the main summit lies beyond. I read it was cl. 3-4 getting over there . . . but it was only cl. 2!

Summit Regist Entry
Hello Javad! A random FB friend from Iran had request that I place his name on one of the summits I climbed. I kept forgetting to on my earlier trip with Steph, but this time I remembered!
Looking down the East Ridge as we descended. It is a little steep at the top, but only light class 4. It quickly eases to class 3 and mostly class 2 for the descent, and is very straightforward once you find the entry-exit on the summit ridge.
The imposing East Face of Gimli Peak, seen on the descent. This is home to many 5.12 climbs. The South Ridge is seen on the left, from about P4 to the top.

I Just Love This Guy….
St. Landry Parish Crime Stoppers is asking for help identifying the burglar who broke into Stelly's Supermarket on July 8 and stole hundreds of dollars in cash.
Selfie after teen's act of kindness toward cop goes viral
Ever since Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Darren Goforth lost his life at a gas pump recently, deputies can't help but feel anxious.
"You shouldn't be afraid to get gas or have your hand on your hip when you get gas," Deputy Tommi Kelley remarked to CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV.
But Kelley wasn't alone the last time she needed to fill up, the station reports.
"He walked up behind me and said, 'Ma'm, ma'm,' so our first reaction is, 'Yes?"' said Kelley.
"I was like, 'Can I watch you pump your gas,"' said McKinley Zoellner. "She asked me why and I said to make sure you're safe."
Woman Walks Into A Police Station To Hug A Cop
An elderly woman who walked into a police station on Monday surprised officers with her unique request.
She picked up a dispatch phone in the lobby of the Lake Arbor police station in Arvada, Colorado, to ask for a hug.
After listening to the woman explain how she was upset with the recent loss of officers across the country, including slain Fox Lake police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, dispatch complied and radioed-in to officers.
Within seconds, a sergeant responded: "This is Cruiser 12 — I'll come get that hug."
But another officer managed to beat him to it.

I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 and need to find out my 20 digit SIM number somehow.

However, it isn't! Does anybody know where this information is stored?
I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 and need to find out my 20 digit SIM number somehow.
I have been told that I should go to
However, it isn't! Does anybody know where this information is stored?
How about taking the SIM out and see the number printed on its back side (the other side of the contact surface) or next to it? Just thought to say this just in case if you are not aware of!
In many versions of Android for Verizon networks (e.g. Nexus devices, Moto X, Moto G), you can find this by going to Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> and this is listed as ICCID.
Because of the huge number of different models of Android phone and the wide range of different software versions, you may find that your handset doesn't have the SIM number in the same place. In this case, you can use a 3rd party app to find your SIM information. Such as the sim card info app. Hope it helps.
try the Sim card Details App , this is the best. easy to copy the numbers you get.
How about the old fashioned way? Either calling another phone with it and checking it via Caller ID or if that doesn't work, call the Provider and ask for it via the SIM Serial?
On another note: Many Providers forget to configure the SIM Cards phone number onto the SIM Card. That is why you probably cannot see it in your menu.
If you find out what the number is and want to correct the problem for the future, check out this thread.
or you can dial
I think the best solution is SIM Card Manager.
the best way actually is to dial *#06# on your Android phone and it will pop up.

Hi guys i've been wondering how to do source engine - like shadows in opengl? I mean, they are always showing a single shadow map style shadow for each character, even if there several lights in the scene. How are they creating it? I've tried to limit my character shadow only to nearest light, but it's "jumping" in a very annoying way. Are they using some kind of interpolation? how do they determine the light/shadow view pos/projection? anyone have any ideas? thanks in advance

If the shadow edge is jumping, you should move the shadow casting light in texel-size increments. See the following link, especially chapter Moving the Light in Texel-Sized Increments:

I think they just cast a shadow in a fixed direction at all times, regardless of light positions. I'm not entirely sure, but that's what it seemed like to me.

Beckham gives Manchester United fan a day to remember
David Beckham made a cancer patient's dream come true when he paid a surprise visit to meet the youngster.
Lloyd Burton, 11, from Shrewsbury, met the star while filming Stand Up To Cancer, the joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.
The Manchester United fan had his own budding football career cut short when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour (medulloblastoma) in May last year.
Before his diagnosis, he had been scouted by Manchester United, Aston Villa, Port Vale and Shrewsbury for their junior teams. But following surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Lloyd now uses a wheelchair.
I had no idea that I was going to meet David Beckham, it was such a brilliant surprise.
"He was really nice and we chatted lots. He told me a bit about his family and other normal stuff and we talked about football quite a lot too. I love football and Beckham is one of my favourite players so I'll always remember that day."
The meeting will be aired during Friday's Stand Up To Cancer TV show, starting at 7pm on Channel 4. For more information about the campaign, visit www.standuptocancer.org.uk
Full report: Cancer patient kept "in the dark" to help research
This is how Irene Williams has appeared to the world for the last month.
Wrapped in a balaclava and wearing dark glasses whenever she's ventured out of her home.
Irene has inoperable bile duct cancer and is being treated by specialists at Aintree University hospital.
The drug she's been taking is light sensitive, so keeping away from sunlight has become the norm.
Patient 'lives in dark' for cancer treatment
A care assistant has become the first person in the world to take part in an international trial of a new cancer treatment.
But the procedure, being pioneered at Aintree University Hospital in Liverpool has meant Irene Williams has had to spend a month away from bright light.
The drug Irene was given for bile duct cancer is a photosynsthesizer, meaning it would react to daylight.
So Irene was forced to completely cover up when she left the house.

Cancer 'super hub' launched in Manchester
A new lung cancer initiative is being launched in Manchester to bring together top researchers in the fight against the disease. A 'centre of excellence' will combine skills from experts at places including the Christie and University of Manchester to come up with new treatments.
Cancer Research UK hope by drawing together world class research and medical expertise, lung cancer patients nationwide will benefit. The Centre will foster strong links with the local community, increasing awareness of the world-class cancer research taking place right on their doorstep.
"We are delighted to have been chosen as Cancer Research UK's first Lung Cancer Centre of Excellence. By establishing the Centre jointly at Manchester and UCL, we are bringing together internationally renowned expertise across the full spectrum of lung cancer research."
Creating this new focal point for lung cancer research will help recruit global leaders in this field of research, adding further strength to the UK's reputation for world class research.

Royle Family star backs eye cancer campaign
The Royle Family creator Caroline Aherne is backing a new campaign to raise awareness of a rare form of eye cancer she suffered as a child.
Caroline, who revealed last week that she is recovering from lung cancer, has provided the voiceover for the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) online video campaign aimed at highlighting key symptoms of retinoblastoma.
The 50-year-old has previously been treated for bladder cancer and retinoblastoma (Rb) which typically affects babies and young children.
Aherne said last week: "It is absolutely crucial that parents are aware of this horrible cancer and know what the early signs are so that treatment can be given as early as possible."
Cancer mum's joy at bringing baby home
A mum from Preston diagnosed with terminal cancer, weeks after discovering she was pregnant is bringing her baby home from hospital for the first time today.
Emma Grandison from Longton in Preston was over the moon when she got the news she was expecting her first baby with her husband Ian. Soon after the 31 year old developed a pain in her side, a further investigation revealed tumours on her liver.
Despite her pregnancy Emma needed to start chemotherapy. Erin Grandison was born almost 4 months premature back in November weighing less than 2lb and has remained in hospital ever since.
Earlier this year we spoke to Emma about her fight to stay alive for baby Erin. See more here.
Ovarian cancer awareness campaign launched
North West Cancer Research a charity which funds pioneering exploration into the causes of the disease is launching a campaign to raise awareness around ovarian cancer.
The cancer kills almost 4,400 women a year is the focus of a month-long campaign called O-Very. Dubbed the "silent killer" it affects almost 7,700 women each year.
The campaign aims to raise awareness around the symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, swelling and loss of appetite are well known.
Detecting ovarian cancer at an early stage is crucial and symptoms can often be mistaken. Our O-Very campaign enables us to communicate this crucial information to large numbers of people."

Example sentences
- Turkish cuisine is famous for its kebabs, stuffed eggplant and boreks—stuffed pastry with meat/spinach.
- My contribution was a platter of boreks, which are Mediterranean phyllo pastries filled with a mixture of feta cheese, dill, chives, mint, parsley, toasted pine nuts, and nutmeg.
- Every morning, the seven-month-old bakery's display case is stocked with enough buttery Turkish pastries and breakfast breads, or borek, to make the average New Yorker swear off cream cheese forever.

The internet is having a meltdown over the new Baby Groot in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2"
If you aren't familiar with these cats, here's what you need to know: Larry is the Mouser in Chief at the Prime Minister's residence in the U.K. and Palmerston is the Foreign Office cat that lives next door. The two don't seem to like each other very much and British news outlets can't help but cover all of their cat-on-cat drama.
Larry and Palmerston had their worst fight yet the other night and the MiC had to make a visit to the vet. Hopefully they'll be able to settle their political differences soon, before they both get hurt.

Tip 3: Eat Healthy continued...
When you don't get enough sleep, you might be more likely to crave carbs. Lack of Zzz's and fatigue have also been linked with changes in the hormones leptin and ghrelin, which control your feelings of hunger and fullness. When you're tired, you may want to eat more, and you might feel less satisfied when you do.
You don't need to be overweight to have an unhealthy diet. In a study of 320 adults, those with more severe sleep apnea ate more protein, fat, and saturated fat than those who had a less-severe problem, regardless of how much they weighed.
Tip 4: Take Charge of Your Allergies
It's no surprise that sleeping and breathing are harder when you're stuffed up from nasal allergies.
Picture your airway as a long, muscular tube running from your nose to your windpipe. If your allergies aren't under control, the tissues of your upper throat swell and make the airway narrow. With less space for air, breathing gets harder.
If you have nasal allergies, talk to your doctor about how to get them under control. It may help to use a neti pot or a saline nasal spray before bed.
Tip 5: Build a Good Sleep Routine
Shut-eye is an important part of good health. The catch is that sleep apnea makes it hard to get enough.
About half of people with the condition have most of their breathing problems when they sleep on their backs. So most doctors encourage people to try to stay in other positions.
But how can you get into the habit? Some doctors suggest a simple trick: Put two tennis balls into a tube sock and pin it to the back of your PJs.
Devices that improve breathing for people with the disorder, including a CPAP machine, can also help. Talk to your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.

Not alot is known about this picture all I know is that my grandfather had it and someone in the family is in it. I don't know anything about it at all.

Helen Kennedy Looks like Civil War era. Some of the boys look awfully young, but many kids of 16 or less were in that war.

Carol Moore Caux My maiden name is Moore. I looked at this war picture, and I have a son that looks like the man standing in the back row with the beard. I say this man is related to the Moore. My guess...?? The Rev. war. Picture?

Jean Mccluskey I agree it looks like Civil War Area (1860's,) but don't know if its in the US. Almost has as German / Russian feel to it for some reason. Maybe this was a hunt club or society somewhat like our "boy scouts"? Just a suggetsion.

Kathleen Moore I do have family from Germany on that side of the family that came after the 1860's. Maybe this picture is of him or his father before they came over. the german surname was Thorward. Just to add more to what it could be.

Kathleen Moore Yes my grandfather is a Moore and the family was mostly from the Essex County, New Jersey area. The pictures I'm finding that were with this one are either of the Moores or Thorwards in my family. All from New Jersey.

Bill Herder Since everyone is guessing, here's my guess: This is a group of boys at a military school. I would also guess that this photo was taken in Germany or Prussia, where military schools were required for young boys. The rifles being held are not real rifles, which would have been much too heavy for boys - they are wooden replica's which were used at military schools. Quite possible one of these boys is your Great Grandfather while he was a student at a military school in Europe. Research on the flag (since it is not a US/Confederate flag) would tie down the location. You didn't indicate what type of photograph you have & this would also tie down the date it was taken. I would guess that it is 1855-1870 period.

Canadian Side of Niagara Falls Finds Tightrope Walking Beneath Them
Lighten up, Ontario.
Niagara Falls, New York is, in the words of the Times, a depressing "shell of a city." Officials there are excited about the boost to the local economy that would result from a high-profile tightrope walk across the gorge, performed by famed daredevil Nik Wallenda, a normally outlawed act, which received the special blessing of the state legislature in June. But Niagara Falls, Ontario, on the other side of the gorge, is "booming as a casino-enriched tourist metropolis." Wallenda is lobbying officials there, but they don't seem to need this tightrope walk, and more than that, they have kind of an attitude about it.
"Our vision is to have people come and be inspired by the falls, by the beauty of the natural environment," the interim chairwoman of the Niagara Parks Commission, Janice Thomson, said in an interview. "We don't believe that stunting has any place in front of that natural splendor."
Oh heavens, stunting? What a horrid little distraction. The only proper activity at Niagara Falls is sitting silently while observing the view through your monocle.

This wall-to-waller is kicked up a few notches in the fun department by having all the girls dressed in little girl outfits and wearing their hair in pigtails.
