Lexington, Mass., was in glorious, late-spring bloom when I visited Windows Secrets reader Helene Mayer.
Helene had a houseful of PCs (running XP, Vista, and Win7) exhibiting a variety of problems. I was there to help.
This is the second installment of the 2012 House Call series — an off-and-on project in which I visit a reader's home or business and attempt to diagnose and cure real-life PC problems.
The idea behind House Call is simple: I collaborate with selected Windows Secrets readers to learn what really works in analyzing, maintaining, and improving our personal computers. We then share what we find with all Windows Secrets readers via articles like this. (For a fuller explanation of House Calls, see the first article in this series, the April 12 Top Story, "House Call 2012: Fixing a sluggish PC.")
Assorted glitches, problems, and annoyances
I selected Helene for this House Call because — like many of us — she maintains a variety of Windows systems in her home. As she's added new systems over the years, the older systems remain in use, handed down to family members with less intensive computing needs.
Here's the note Helene sent in when I originally asked for House Call participants:
- "I'm one of those users who are afraid to do almost anything complicated to my computer, for fear of doing irreparable harm. I have a 6GB laptop running Windows 7 x64. I'm finding Windows 7 a bit wonky. [Helene then included more details, which I'll get to later.]
"My son has my old laptop, which is running Vista. It's still registered to me, and I have no idea how to change that. I used to clean that PC up regularly. I tell my son to do the same, and to apply updates — but I doubt he ever does. He's 15 and spends a lot of time online. Who knows how much junk he has on that laptop!

Staff writer Dakshina Chetti explores the diverse stories of international students at Columbia, particularly the idea of home and recreating a sense of home. Quality photos with HONY-level of inspiration included.
Columbia is commended at-large for having one of the most diverse, accepting, and distinct student bodies. Speaking as an international student, and reflecting upon the horror-story that was application season, I distinctly remember thinking of Columbia as a sort of double rainbow—should I be accepted (*shudder*), not only would I have the opportunity to benefit from a (literally) world-class education, but I would be doing so in one of most eclectic cities (and institutions).
Looking back, the transition was not without its ups and downs. I'm from Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean off the coast of, well, nothing much, boasting a paltry population of just over a million. Thus, I'm relatively accustomed to a general level of incredulity when I tell people where I'm from. For the most part, it doesn't affect me, because I have a close-knit circle of people, family or otherwise, with whom I am able to share a common experience. Settling into life as a Columbia student was more of an adjustment than I anticipated; home is home, and being 18+ hours away from all of it can become emotionally taxing. I am so fortunate to have been roomed in Furnald, which is (no hyperbole intended) teeming with international students. In an effort to further explore this common experience, I embarked on a late-night expedition to find out more about the international student's plight to reconstruct a sense of "home." Talking to other international students in my building, it is apparent that we are all coping a little differently: doing things here and there in an attempt to adjust to a drastically different environment, but all the same, trying to recreate a sense of belonging.
I've included some of their stories here.

Need method for controlling shutter remotely
Here's my setup:
Phantom 2 with no Zenmuse, wanting to add a high quality and very light weight P&S such as the Sony RX100 or Lumix DMC-GM1. Problem is, I have no way of tripping the shutter since I'm using the DJI transmitter and therefore do not have any extra switches (no, changing transmitters is not an option). I've read somewhere (should have bookmarked it) that there is a small hand held device which looks like a key fob that will control one or two servos that can be stuck right to ones transmitter.
Anyone know where I could find that again or perhaps have another solution for remotely controlling a P&S camera at distance? I would be flying up to 2000' on occasion so the range is an issue.
Also, (as if I'm not asking too much already), I would like to adjust the tilt of the camera without necessarily using a standard brushless gimbal (stability is not a big issue in this case).
There's still a lot of kinks to work out with WiFi control apps --- but sure beats adding a bunch of servos to control separate features on an aerial camera Of course, with range out to 2000' then WiFi control is probably not going to work for you (even with a good WiFi extender).
2.4GHz systems don't play nicely with other 2.4GHz systems.
My first experience with this was using the WiFi interface to a Gopro Hero3 on an RC airplane. As soon as I turned WiFi on, the control surfaces all started jittering. DOH!
This is why I use a different band for my video downlink. WiFi control apps are neat and all, but while everyone is trying to play on 2.4GHz there will be collisions.
As far as controlling the camera and mount goes, you could always add a completely separate system and use a second person to control the camera and mount while you fly the aircraft. Given the number of RC systems out there, you should be able to pick something that won't collide with your DJI system.
I've used a keyfob system that worked on 433MHz, but it wouldn't have nearly the range you're looking for. I've also used a Hahnel Inspire, which plugs into a DSLR rather than a compact camera. But it's also range-limited, and operates on (you guessed it...) 2.4 GHz! So it would collide with your DJI system as well.
No easy answers that I've found.

It is for all the newer Sony's giving you a viewfinder and remote camera controls, but don't expect more than 10ft of range.
The amount of wifi bandwidth and amplification needed for shutter/viewfinder control is so much there is no way you could do it at a reasonable distance for AP without freaking out everything onboard the quad. As people said, even the factory low power versions can cause interference.
As for an extra trigger, why not buy a cheapie used 72mhz radio / receiver and use it for a trigger. The biggest issue really would be routing the 39" antenna.
Is there a 2-device (Tx and Rx) system that can convert a 2.4GHz WiFi signal into 1.2 or 1.3 GHz (and vice versa) so you have maximum range but still have all the menu commands on the camera?
I suppose most amateurs just doing a quick "fly and shoot" wont care about changing settings on the DSLR while it's in the air --- but most professionals and semi-pros will want to have maximum control over their DSLR in flight. Trust me, a realtor trying to sell a $1 million property is going to want to adjust settings on the DSLR in flight because it makes economic sense to get the best photos and videos possible in 1 or 2 AP flights rather than spending all day on multiple flights. I have friends who are realtors and they are too busy talking and schmoozing potential buyers to be wasting all their time flying AP craft.
Assigning separate servos and frequencies to operate shutter and zoom seems like a lot of extra work (and weight to the quad) and the ultimate goal in the future will be having all this available via WiFi controller of your DSLR
Here is a device that will give you interval shooting by using a servo to continually nod giving adjustable shutter intervals.:
Looks like you should be OK fitting the Sony RX100 at a pinch as you only have 300 grams payload available on the Phantom 2.
If I was looking to do this I would use a Canon s110 then installing CHDK running a intervalometer script to take the shots.
Hope this is of some help.
1) Stills vs. Video -- self explanatory
2) Zoom -- self explanatory
3) Shutter Speed -- depending on UAV and subject relative speeds
4) Focus Options -- depending on single or multiple targets in view
5) Lighting Modes -- if sun or clouds suddenly appear
6) ISO -- adjust ambient light conditions changing rapidly (day or night)
There's other stuff that's coming in the next few years -- such as motion tracking synched with the gimbal to automatically track a moving target.
It's funny. We've got very different approaches to aerial photography.
I treat the camera's menu and the camera's photographic settings as two different beasts. The menu on my camera has tons of stuff I don't touch when I'm in the field, even when I'm on the ground. I almost never want to touch any of it in the air. I tend to treat that more as camera setup - something I do at home before setting out.
As far as photographic settings go, here's my take on each of the ones you mentioned:
Stills vs. video I get. But I'd still rather fly two cameras or make two separate flights.
Zoom... yeah, I can sort of see that. But with the ability to reposition the aircraft at will that's less of an issue. I know, I know, an 18mm from up close is not the same as a 50mm from a distance, even if they have the same footprint on the ground. But in close to seven years of flying cameras I've only really wanted this feature a handful of times. Mostly that was when I didn't set it the way I wanted before I sent it aloft. I may change my opinion on this when I fly from a stabilized gimbal. I don't know.
Shutter speed... eeeeh... Again, I tend to pick that on the ground. So far in the air I haven't been after any sort of motion blur in an image, so I tend to set it fairly fast and not mess with it.
Focus - I like having a single focus point, and use AF in the air. It's the same trick people used to use with film SLRs back in the day: aim at the subject, half-press to focus and get exposure, recompose, and fully press the shutter. That way you know where your focus is, you still get the composition you're after, and it's a heckuvalot quicker than moving a focus point around. This is how I use my camera on the ground, too, unless I'm working from a tripod. Maybe it's force of habit, but it's effective and efficient in the air.
I don't even look at the lighting modes. I do everything with RAW these days and dial in color temperature during post-processing.
ISO is another one I set on the ground and leave alone. If I'm working in broad daylight I set things to the slowest ISO to drive the noise down. If I'm working near sunset I'll set ISO to Auto and dial in either the aperture or shutter speed I want and let the rest float. Even on the ground it's rare that I'll mess around with ISO in a given session. Again, this may be force of habit from the days of film. But I've rarely found it to be an issue.
Keep in mind I almost exclusively do stills. So I don't know how any of this translates to video. Also keep in mind that I'm only describing how I work in the field, not how one should work in the field. So there may well be a need for the features you're describing among a good number of photographers. I'm just not one of them.
To get back to Quiet Riot's question:
This may sound utterly sacrilegious, but here's another option for triggering the shutter on your camera: Don't.
If the camera supports it (I'm pretty sure the Sony doesn't), set up an intervalometer and stick a big memory card in the camera. Start it going on the ground, fly until you have to land, and turn it off when you land. Pull out the keepers during post-processing and cull the rest.
A typical DJI flight is going to be no longer than 15 minutes, or 900 seconds. At one frame every five seconds that's only 180 frames. Even if you ran one frame per second and shot RAW, 900 files would fit on a 32GB card pretty handily. If in doubt get a 64GB card and be sure you won't run out of space.
This sounds pretty random, but it actually makes it easier to fly. Position your aircraft, aim, and hold station for two to three times your intervalometer period. Then move to the next position. This will give you two or three frames to choose from for each location.
Technology keeps getting better and cheaper like it always does, so AP hobbyists are going to expect full control of their cameras while in flight. For example, I have friends who are avid hunters who like to scope out game in the late summer in preparation for fall hunting seasons, and they desire the best possible still photos of deer in the fields so they can make decisions about where to hunt later on. Changing zoom and focus modes while in-flight will give them those desired stills, and repeatedly landing/taking off to change camera settings is a good way to lose out on getting that awesome photo of the trophy buck! Wild animals don't make a habit of just loitering around while a human UAV pilot makes changes to his/her DSLR.
I see the aerial photography industry increasingly focusing more on camera control than UAV control in the coming years. I just dont expect the average Joe Schmo consumer to spend most of his time learning how to be a great UAV pilot in order to get really nice aerial shots. Instead, the drone makers will fine tune the GPS hover locks on their machines, and the short-attention span Joe Schmo's can then concentrate on operating their pan-tilt-zoom DSLR/gimbal systems to get their tasty photos + videos.
Yup, we've got different approaches.
You said, "Wild animals don't make a habit of just loitering around while a human UAV pilot makes changes to his/her DSLR."
That's exactly my point. If I'm messing around with camera settings in flight, I'm missing potential photographs. I'd rather put my camera in the air with a very clear idea of what I want, set up the way I want, and spend my time doing photography rather than messing with the camera.
This doesn't mean I want a "do everything for me" camera. Quite the opposite. I want complete control over the camera. I just don't want to mess with it in the air.
Since you mentioned wildlife, I guess a photo session I did last night is a good case in point. This was from a tripod, not an aerial platform, but the same idea applies. I was photographing sand crabs. I knew the focal length I wanted (100mm), the aperture (f/10), and the shutter speed I wanted (1/250 was fine in this case). So I set it up, put my camera on the tripod, composed the photograph, and waited. It worked great. And over a two hour session I didn't need to make any changes to the camera. I just needed to wait, watch, and trip the shutter.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that some photographers will value having complete remote control over their camera the same way some photographers value the capability of doing a tethered shoot (which I do any time I'm doing studio work.) But it's not a universal need, and doesn't necessarily apply in every situation.
P.S. My apologies for hijacking your thread, QuietRiot. I hope you've been able to find a method for triggering the shutter on your camera that'll work with your Phantom 2.
Shooting stills of whitetail deer from a UAV camera hovering 80 ft. in the air would pose all types of scenarios where quickly changing DSLR settings could mean the difference between a bad shot and a great shot. Are the deer standing still or running across the field? Shutter speed, auto focus mode, and burst rates are all vital to getting the best frames. What if it's getting close to dark and your AF is going wacky and you want to change ISO and manually focus on that huge set of antlers? Many variables here that don't lend well to repeatedly landing a UAV to make adjustments.
I agree with your basic premise that there is no "one size fits all" philosophy when it comes to AP equipment needs and situations. However, I tend to look at overall trends and past history to predict the future --- and it seems like Android/iOS apps are controlling everything with a chip, and I dont see how AP is going to be immune to this trend. AP hobbyists will only be a small fraction of the consumers who want full WiFi control of their DSLR's features and settings.
I bought a Mobius just for this reason.
It shoots great 1080p video, but at 3.0 MP stills, the quality is far from what I would like.
The good part is that it is very light and is only $70.00
I set it on time lapse to shoot a still automatically every 10 sec and on a 5 to 10 min flight it is great.
I thought about doing the servo arm on a P+S camera "shutter" button but I have put that off thinking there must be a better way in this age of technology.
I would think the guys doing Aerial Photography for real estate would have a easy reasonably priced solution for this.
I look forward to reading more posts.

Sage Instant Accounts is accounting software aimed at new and small businesses. It aims to help you manage your money, invoicing, VAT and end-of-year accounts, even if you have no prior experience of accountancy or book-keeping.
Sage Instant Accounts: features
For your £132 outlay Sage Instant Accounts offers a customer relations and contacts manager that helps you create quotations and invoices, chase payments and receive card payments. Sage lets you share information electronically with your accountant, prepare and submit VAT returns, and produce a coherent balance sheet. Indeed, with Health and Safety legislation advice, Microsoft Office integration and an electronic diary, Sage sets out to be integral to small businesses. But is it any good?
To fully test Sage Instand Accounts, we recruited around 30 small business users from the 300,000-member PC Advisor forums. We gifted them copies of Sage Instant Accounts, and asked them to keep us appraised of their experiences. You can read the full conversations about Sage in our Beta testing forum.
For more on using Sage Instant Accounts, read 'How to use software to manage business accounts'.
Sage Instant Accounts: getting started
Despite the complexity of the software, the vast majority of our testers had no problem downloading and installing Sage Instant Accounts. One or two found the activation process a little complicated, but with only a little support were soon up and running. There was some dissent: user 'woody' said: "When the program is started for the first time it should open the 'Activation' window. No other choices should be offered till the activation is completed. Allowing other choices,"Logon" for example, only causes unnecessary confusion."
Confusingly, even when you've downloaded the software and purchased an activation key, you are still only set up to use it for 30 days. After this point you have to call a freephone number to get Sage to complete the activation process. This is perfectly legitimate, but seems uneccessarily complicated, and it doesn't exactly encourage you to commit all your company's data to Sage.
After the initial setup, most of our users found getting started with the software relatively straightforward. Despite the odd gripe about setting up his accounts, user 'Proclaimer' was impressed: "Overall my first impression is 'Good' no big hassle setting it up or getting my products listed in the Accounts Package. I could be up and running live with this in just one day if I wanted to."
Another user, 'jjss' said he managed to "set up customer and supplier base with no problems", describing the process as "straight forward enough", but he said that it took him around 40 minutes to input his bank details.
All of our users managed to get their businesses working through Sage Instant Accounts, and the vast majority said it was sufficiently easy to use.
Sage Instant Accounts: anything missing?
Out of the box Sage Instant Accounts packs in a huge amount of features, but we wanted to know if any of our 30 or so small business users felt that any important capabilities were missing. Perhaps reflecting the complexity of the product, some users complained about the absence of features that are, in fact, present - email invoices and the ability to import a company logo, being two such examples. Indeed, plenty of our user group agreed with 'sunnystaines' who said of Sage: "it's so extensive, I have not come across anything yet I could suggest to add."
But there were some dissenting voices. 'jjss' said he would like "to be to able to correct input errors easily without having to reload 'yesterday's' backup data. I prefer to have control rather than the software having the control. Reloading back up data is fine if it's first thing in the morning but I'd hate to make a mistake if it's at the end of a long and tiring day with all the data that would/could have been entered, and then having to re-enter it again because of a typo!" This point was echoed by one or two other testers.
A couple of our user group had some trouble with quotations. 'Pine Man' said: "Unless I've got it wrong you can't have one quote for services and products together; ie Supply and fit an item. The goods appear to have to be on one quote and the labour on another."
A final gripe was with stock control and other, more complex business tasks that may be more suited to some of Sage's more expensive products. 'Newuser38': "I have now searched the Help section and it does seem that Instant Accounts Plus is needed to manage the product stock area. It has also been suggested that Sage 50 may be needed for some who need more detailed and deeper accounting."
NEXT: should you buy Sage Instant Accounts?
Sage Instant Accounts is accounting software aimed at new and small businesses. It aims to help you manage your money, invoicing, VAT and end-of-year accounts, even if you have no prior experience of accountancy or book-keeping.
Sage Instant Accounts: should you buy it?
On the question of whether Sage Instant Accounts is a worthwhile purchase, our small business user group were almost unanimous that Sage represents good value for money. Most users praised the excellent contextual help.
'Pine Man' described Sage Instant Accounts as an "excellent piece of kit", and said: "I found it very intuitive and soon found my way around it. What I couldn't work out was resolved by the help files.
"The only real niggle was quotations. The fact that to provide a quote for products and services, i.e. supply and fit, you needed two quotations, one for parts and one for labour."
'Roger Evens' broadly agreed: "I've never used business software before but found it fairly straight forward to use for my purposes."
'Proclaimer' said he would recommend the product to people who are starting a business, and would port over his own concern. He particularly liked "the option to set a value in the bank balance that was a positive number but shows Red. My short term memory escapes me, but it effectively said that you were low on funds even with say £500 in the bank and would then show you in the red until you go back over the limit you set. That is quite handy when you deal with small accounts".
'mark2' agreed, saying: "If I was just starting a new business it would be ideal."
'ajm' was one person who didn't agree with the general praise for Sage Instant Accounts, saying: "I will continue to use MS Accounting as it ticks all the right boxes for me and I have great accountant who deals with all the nitty gritty once I have exported my accounts to excel for him."
Sage Instant Accounts: customer support
'Cara2' wanted to add to the other comments a note about his experience of Sage's support: "I am an existing user of Sage (previous version) and needed to clarify a couple of points about the ugrade including the activation number I had. In my experience, on this occassion, Sage were more than helpful and I am now fully up and running."
'Chaz10' agreed, saying he'd offer "10/10 for the phone support".
NEXT: our expert verdict >>
Sage Instant Accounts: Specs

- 1000MB hard disk
- Windows Vista/XP/7/Server 2003/Server 2008
- 2GHz processor
- 1000MB hard disk

Sage Instant Accounts is full-featured software that offers good value for money to small business users. It's easy to use, and fulfils a host of functions. But the activation process is uneccessarily complicated, and there are a few features that some of our user group would like to see.

Middletown votes budget todayApril 30,2013Middletown votes budget today
MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS Residents will return to the polls today to vote on a proposed school budget.
Residents can vote from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Middletown Springs Firehouse on a proposed budget of $1,994,899 for fiscal year 2013-14. The budget is an increase of $58,276, or 3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,936,623.
On Town Meeting Day and by a four-vote margin, voters defeated a proposed budget of $1,998,890, which was an increase of $62,267, or 3.2 percent.
Despite the increase in the budget, the tax rate is projected to drop 2 cents, from $1.64 to $1.62, due in part to the towns common level of appraisal rising from 91.2 percent to 95.85 percent.

Big tobacco doesn't care about consumers
Published: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 at 9:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 at 12:11 p.m.
If you have been led to believe that the tobacco industry cares about its customers or is interested in helping people quit, think again. According to a report released this month by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, major tobacco manufacturers increased the amount of nicotine delivered to smokers by 10 percent on average, from 1998 to 2004. Additionally, nicotine levels tended to be higher in brands that target youth and African-Americans. What does all of this mean? It means that it is easier for youth to get hooked and more difficult for smokers to quit today than it was a decade ago.
As if that werent enough, last month the U.S. Department of Justice ruled that tobacco companies can no longer use labels such as "low tar" and "light" on cigarette packaging because such labels (deceptively) suggest that certain brands are less hazardous to health than others.
In response, big tobacco lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler to allow them to continue advertising "low tar" and "light" cigarettes overseas because, in their own words, "Banning the use of the low-tar descriptors in foreign countries would be an unwarranted intrusion upon the right of these countries to regulate cigarette sales within their own borders." Unbelievable!
Fellow Louisianans, dont be fooled by the tobacco industry and be wary of arguments in support of tobacco use and against good public health policy. According to the World Health Organization, tobacco is responsible for about 5 million deaths every year, and the number of fatalities could double to 10 million a year by 2020. In Louisiana alone, tobacco claims the lives of an estimated 6,400 people annually. Stand up to big tobacco by supporting programs that prevent youth from developing deadly tobacco addictions, campaigns that work to help people quit, laws that prohibit smoking within all workplaces, and higher taxes on tobacco products. Together, we can make tobacco-free living a reality in Louisiana.

This isn't the sweetest cookie so don't be afraid to use a sweet jam. The previous commenter is right, though; the dough is very difficult to work with because it's so dry and crumbly. I didn't coat the cookies in chocolate - an extra step for already time-consuming cookie - but it didn't matter, because the flavor was fantastic without it. I used homemade blueberry jam. The cookies tasted really good and looked nice, but nowhere near as perfect as the picture. Overall, a tasty cookie good for special occasions that I won't ever make again.
Apricot-Almond Sandwich Cookies
From EatingWell: December 2006
Elegant and delicious, these cookies are the perfect addition to your holiday spread. For a variation, try with raspberry preserves; you can show off the jewel-like filling by cutting the center out of half of the cookies. If giving these as a gift, be sure to pack them carefully with a layer of wax paper between each cookie.
2 Reviews for Apricot-Almond Sandwich Cookies
The flavor is wonderful, but I had a hard time making these cookies.
The dough was hard to keep together when rolling out and had to be rerolled several times in order to make the cookies. I didn't take the second batch off the cookie sheet soon enough and they all broke apart. Rather than waste them, I crumbled them up and added a little of the apricot jam and formed them into a rectangle. I frosted the top with the chocolate and was able to cut them into small squares. Delicious! I would love to hear how others made out. If there were some way to make these into bar cookies, it might be easier.

Warlords Of Draenor: Blizzard Thinks Glyphs Are Too Expensive
From Blizzard's Warlords of Draenor: Alpha Patch Notes: (Emphasis ours.)
"Automatically Learned Glyphs
While leveling, characters unlock Glyph slots at several specific levels. However, in order to get glyphs, characters need to visit an Auction House (and potentially pay way more gold than an average character of that level has yet), or know a Scribe from which to request them. To solve this, we've made characters learn some Glyphs automatically as they level.
All classes now learn some of their Major Glyphs as they level. Recipes for these Glyphs have been removed.
At level 25, the following Glyphs are automatically learned by characters of the appropriate class:
Entangling Roots, Fae Silence, Ferocious Bite, Maul, Omens, Cat Form, Liberation, Pathfinding, Frost Nova, Blink, Fortuitous Spheres, Rapid Rolling, Afterlife, Harsh Words, Flash of Light, Alabaster Shield, Dazing Shield, Avenging Wrath, Templar's Verdict, Levitate, Holy Fire, Fade, Deadly Momentum, Stealth, Flame Shock, Thunder, Healing Storm, Healing Wave, Spiritwalker's Grace, Siphon Life, Drain Life, Demon Training, Ember Tap, Long Charge, Victory Rush, Bloodthirst, Gag Order
At level 50, the following Glyphs are automatically learned by characters of the appropriate class:
Might of Ursoc, Nature's Grasp, Rebirth, Rejuvenation, Savagery, Mending, Chimera Shot, Black Ice, Polymorph, Spinning Crane Kick, Denounce, Divine Storm, Word of Glory, Reflective Shield, Smite, Mind Blast, Recuperate, Totemic Recall, Fear, Executor
At level 60, the following Glyphs are automatically learned by characters of the appropriate class:
Dark Succor, Unholy Command, Death Grip
At level 75, the following Glyphs are automatically learned by characters of the appropriate class:
Death and Decay, Dash, Faerie Fire, Healing Touch, Master Shapeshifter, Misdirection, Slow, Frostfire Bolt, Water Elemental, Breath of Fire, Mana Tea, Fists of Fury, Light of Dawn, Final Wrath, Double Jeopardy, Penance, Renew, Dispersion, Ambush, Cheap Shot, Lightning Shield, Eternal Earth, Healthstone, Bull Rush, Enraged Speed, Shield Wall"
I'm not really leaning one way or another on these changes. It seems pretty obvious that Blizzard isn't happy with the glyph prices they are seeing on live realms.
They state that a low level player won't have enough gold to buy glyphs so they'll give them some.
By my rough count there are 86 glyphs listed above to become automatic (read free). If my calculations are correct this equals out to roughly 20% of the glyphs in the disappearing from scribes books.
As for how this effects the economy I honestly believe a large majority of players will simply use the "free" glyphs Blizzard will give them.
This will likely mean that glyph sales for all but the most desirable glyphs will dry up. If that happens glyph sellers can go one of two ways: sell even higher or sell even lower.
Which way they choose to go is likely going to be up to the glyph sellers on each realm/faction.

Heat up cooking oil.
Add minced shallot, fresh minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to the cooking oil. Fry it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the garlic and shallot become golden but not burnt. Once it is all fried, remove the shallot and minced garlic and keep the oil in the pan.
Add the dark soy sauce and regular soy sauce to the oil. Add sesame seed oil, rice wine, water and sugar and chili peppers; bring the mixture to a boil. Cook it for about 10 minutes at the simmer until the mixture thickens.
You can keep the Sweet Soy Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
You will be needing so many little airtight containers, and I have found a way to keep all the lids and containers organized!

|National Center for Parents with Disabilities and their Families
There are more than 4 million U.S. parents with disabilities with children under age 18, and several million more parents with disabilities who have adult children. In 1998, TLG became the first National Center for Parents with Disabilities, initially funded under a three-year grant from the National Institute of Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), U.S. Department of Education. Since that time, TLG has received additional funding from NIDRR as well as other sources to continue our national work concerning parents with disabilities and their families. The National Center offers consultations, trainings and publications to parents, family members and professionals. Most of these services are free, including consultations by phone or email as well as publications via mail, email or our website.
TLG's National Center is staffed by nationally recognized experts regarding parents with disabilities, most of whom have personal or family experience with disability or deafness. The National Center builds upon TLG's nationally and internationally recognized expertise and leadership in working with parents with disabilities, their families, and their providers -- 33 years of groundbreaking research, services, training, and resource development.
In December 2011, Through the Looking Glass and its National Center for Parents with Disabilities was awarded a five-year 2.5 million dollar federal grant to conduct research, training and provide consultations and materials regarding families in which an infant, child, parent or grandparent has a disability. This new national project titled "Families with Disabilities through the Life Cycle: Disability Culture Perspectives" is funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Over these five years, project activities will focus on critical issues that impact families with disabilities across the lifespan: from those disabled and non-disabled parents who are at the initial stages of having an infant with a disability through children with disabilities growing up to parents and grandparents with disabilities. In keeping with Through the Looking Glass' 33 years of groundbreaking research, training and clinical intervention work, project activities will address family members with diverse disabilities and draw from the experiences and perspectives of the Disability and Deaf communities. Among the innovative activities planned are:
* Free consultations to parents, family members and professionals regarding families with disabilities across the lifespan.
* Online reviews of equipment and adaptations designed to help grandparents with disabilities care for their grandchildren.
* Trainings to professionals from Japan regarding services to infants and families with disabilities.
TLG's National Center continues TLG's overall mission of empowering parents and potential parents with disabilities by disseminating disability-appropriate information regarding parenting to parents, disability advocates, and legal, medical, intervention and social services providers. The National Center's overall goal is to increase information and support more disability-appropriate resources for parents with disabilities and their children throughout the U.S.
TLG has been serving ethnically diverse families in which parents have all categories of disability: physical, vision, cognitive/learning, medical, psychiatric, as well as deafness. TLG is a disability culture and Deaf culture-based agency which is part of the independent living movement. Its staff has trained more than 225,000 professionals regarding parents with disabilities and deaf parents, from all U.S. states and 50 countries. Since 1993, TLG has provided technical assistance to over 50,000 parents with disabilities, family members, and professionals.
In recent years TLG has provided custody technical assistance to over 1,000 contacts annually. Its expertise has contributed to the passage of legislation in three states to decrease discrimination against parents with disabilities.

Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha rode a tram and then a hand-pulled rickshaw with Saif Ali Khan following her in an unbuttoned shirt to take passers-by in the city's Dalhousie area by surprise today.
Shooting for their film 'Bullet Raja', the stars are these days capturing the old-world charm of Kolkata with its Victorian era heritage structures, hand-pulled rickshaws and signature trams.
Led by director Tigmanshu Dhulia, the actors today shot in the Dalhousie area of central Kolkata where the 'Dabangg' actress rode a tram and a hand-pulled rickshaw.
Saif sported a rustic look as he plays a kurta-clad gun-toting goon from Lucknow who follows his love to Kolkata.
Sonakshi, who wore a bright red salwar, plays a Bengali girl in the thriller.
They are also shooting a song sequence in the city, in which Saif serenades Sonakshi in the narrow by-lanes of north Kolkata.
Exploring the narrow lanes and bylanes and the grand old mansions of north Kolkata, the team will shoot in other locations such as Princep Ghat, Kumartuli, flower market and the famous Laha Bari.
The Vidya Balan starrer superhit film 'Kahaani' (2012) had prominently captured the unique landscape of Kolkata on the silver screen.
Saif has shot for films like 'Parineeta' and 'Love Aaj Kal' in Kolkata before.
Sonakshi too has been to Bengal before to shoot her other upcoming film 'Lootera' with Ranveer Singh.

Two Gallants
Worth the wait
On the surface, Two Gallants seem to be your standard-issue, dime-a-dozen folk-rock band of the same ilk as every other bearded band currently taking up residence from one side of the radio dial to the other. They took their name from a James Joyce story. Their songs are about things gothic and biblical. They've released most of their albums on Saddle Creek, home to such artists as Bright Eyes and Cursive. Their hair is artfully disheveled. They wear a lot of plaid.
However, as with so many things, to give this San Francisco duo only a cursory glance is to do them and yourself a disservice. Because there is more to Two Gallants than meets the eye.
First of all, Two Gallants really is just two guys—Adam Stephens and Tyson Vogel. The former is the band's singer and guitar player. The latter, its drummer and backing vocalist. Other instrumentation is involved here and there, but it's sparse and secondary.
Unlike most bands in which each member has a singular and distinct musical history they bring to bear in the formation of some kind of whole, Stephens and Vogel started playing music together as tweens and have been playing and recording and touring with each other nearly all of their musical lives. And, while the brand of dark Americana Two Gallants peddles is commonplace enough these days, when they first started playing shows 10 years ago, they were ever so slightly ahead of their time.
For awhile there—for several years, in fact—Two Gallants was a band on a mission. Critical response to their albums was generally positive, if a little confused by Stephens' love of distortion and pinched-sounding vocal stylings and Vogel's unexpected drumming, and the band was generating the kind of steady buzz that seemed to bode well for their future. For their part, Two Gallants did everything they could to feed that buzz, touring relentlessly, playing every backwoods bar, basement show and off-the-beaten-path venue they came across. If they could set up and play somewhere, that's exactly what they did. Ever-voluble, Stephens wrote song after song, gave interview after interview—in short, Two Gallants was a band possessed. That, and their well-reported penchant for trouble (in a now-infamous incident, Vogel was once tasered onstage by a Houston police officer), made keeping an eye on Two Gallants both easy and interesting.
The good news was that their manic pace had its intended effect: The venues Stephens and Vogel played began to be bigger and cleaner, their audiences larger and more diverse, the depth and breadth of their draw stronger and more far-flung. As well, other bands of the same sort as Two Gallants were gaining traction elsewhere, and rather than over-saturating this particular musical market, it gave them more of a foundation upon which to stand.
In short, things were looking pretty good for Two Gallants.
Which would make what came next all the more inexplicable.
Sometime around 2008, after touring like crazy behind their critically lauded 2007 self-titled album, and while their career was still enjoying a considerable upswing, Stephens and Vogel decided to walk away from Two Gallants. They weren't quitting, they said, merely taking a "hiatus." Even given rumors of internal strife and the frantic existence they'd lived during six years of nonstop touring, the hiatus didn't make a lot of sense.
But to them, it did. And for four years, that was that. Both worked on music, but they did so separately. From Two Gallants, there was only silence.
As months turned into years, nearly everyone suspected this hiatus would likely become permanent. That feeling was further bolstered when Stephens was in a serious van accident, which left him unable to play music for several months.
Then, unexpectedly, Two Gallants roared back to life earlier this year—and, along with a renewed sense of purpose, they brought with them their best album to date, called The Bloom and the Blight. Heavier, messier, harder than they've ever been, the album also displays a welcome sense of surefootedness and level of maturity that's been missing from previous efforts. For many bands, progression means polish, but for Two Gallants it seems to mean becoming more comfortable with their harder edges as they make peace with their tumultuous past.
The duo's Jan. 16 show at the Shakedown will be the start of a month-long tour for the band, which will take them down the West Coast before landing them in Australia for a series of shows. At this point, Stephens and Vogel are pretty circumspect with regard to plans for anything but the nearest of futures, well aware their current state of stability is both hard-won and a long time in coming.
But if the music they're making now is any indication, whatever comes next from Two Gallants will be worth the wait—however long that may be.blog comments powered by Disqus

CD Leganes is taking a new approach with their club badge in their debut season in Spain's top division, La Liga. The Madrid club along with technical sponsor Joma have included a scratch-and-sniff badge as part of the 2016/17 jersey.
'Los Peperioneros (Little Cucumbers)' took an interesting approach sidestepping the obvious scent to have this year's badge smell like fresh cut grass.
"The idea fitted really well with how we see ourselves," club's marketing director, Daniel Abanda, told the official La Liga website. "A close-knit club, with a sense of fun, and with a desire to do things differently as we have been doing since we were in the Segunda Division B."
"The response from the fans on the first day was spectacular with enormous queues at the stadium shop. We are where we want to be, we want to stay close to our fans and help make them smile."
Who knows maybe fresh cut grass scent it easier to make than cucumber. What scent would you have made the badge?

Most of us have at least one terribly embarrassing memory of watching something inappropriate with our parents or kids. We know you've all been through it — gone to see a film you thought would be a crowd-pleaser only to realize it's cringe-inducing — at least while sitting next to the parental units or offspring. Here are some true stories about unbearably embarrassing movie moments, starting with my own confession.
Full Frontal Horror: A couple of years ago, I asked my friend if she could watch my kids until my husband came home from work, and in exchange, I offered to take her 12-year-old daughter to the screening. I didn't know much about the movie other than that it was a musical biopic parody called 'Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,' starring John C. Reilly. During the movie, I was bothered (on her behalf) by the strong language and innuendo but figured it was still PG-13-level stuff. All of a sudden, there's a scene of all-night partying that ends with a close-up shot of a man's penis. I had no idea what to do! I felt I couldn't leave the movie, because it was my job to review it, but I couldn't just pretend there wasn't a man's genitalia on full display. I looked over at my middle-school plus-one, and she had her head turned away. I was relieved but am sure she saw at least a glimpse of the full-frontal nudity. Telling my friend afterward was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. To her credit, my friend joked, "Well, now we'll all remember where she was when she saw her first penis.
Watch the trailer for 'Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story'
Twice the Embarrassment: "Sadly, there are too many to recount from my childhood. It's a wonder I'm not more scarred. Top 2: (1) My parents took me to see 'Risky Business' in the theater when I was six or seven because someone had told them it would be appropriate, and the ads were all Tom Cruise dancing with candlesticks. Let's just say I was not eager to ride the subway for a long, long time after that; (2) I saw 'Basic Instinct' with my dad in the theater. A girl should never have to see Sharon Stone's lady parts sitting next to her father. EVER." — Lauren G., New York, N.Y.
'Talladega' Nightmare: "My twin nephews convinced us all to go to the movies together (me, Hubby, my eldest son, my sis, her hubs, and all her kids) — it was 'Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby.' I didn't know the rating but thought it was just a racing movie comedy. Um, er … not quite. It was PG-13 and I honestly, to this day, think it should have been R — and I'm NOT a prude! To make matters worse, we got there late and the kids and the dads were sitting separately (I was in the back with the stroller and infant). The theater was packed and I could not get my husbands attention to get him to take Noah out (he and my brother-in-law were laughing too loud). Once it was over I made a bee-line for the car so no one would no I was the mother of that little boy watching the inappropriate movie and blame his dad for the indiscretion. I remember feeling so appalled and thinking "I'm a bad mother," but son wasn't scarred (he did however keep saying 'RickyBooby' in that fake French accent Sasha Baron Cohen used in the flick)." –Emily M., Alexandria, Va.
'Big' Disappointment: "We Netflix Livestreamed 'Big' thinking the kids would love it. I clearly remembered the scene with them going to sleep in separate bunk beds. I did NOT remember that later things got much steamier. Oops." — Mir K., Athens, Ga.
Sleepover Regrets: "I let my twins watch 'Kick-Ass' for their 9th birthday party sleepover. The next day when parents came to pick their kid up was not a shining parent moment." — Megan G., Brooklyn, N.Y.

Anywhere But 'Home': "For some reason, my mother took me to see 'Coming Home' with Jon Voight and and Jane Fonda. There is a way too graphic love scene between them and I wanted to DIE!!! I'm sure she did too!" — Diana P., Plant City, Fla.
Lesson Learned: "My husband and I took our teenage daughters, and two of their friends, to see 'Hoffa.' I was as you say 'MORTIFIED.' After that one, we were very careful about the movies we exposed ourselves and the kids to!" –Barbara A., Miami, Fla.
Foreign Film Blues: "I won tickets to an art film festival in downtown Miami and went all gussied up with my mom. My boss and her dad were behind us. The Italian movie started: artsy, rains, wandering, and then sex. Lots of sweaty, arty Italian sex. We left after about the third coupling and got dinner and chatted instead." — L.B., who thinks the movie is 'Bámbola'
Even Professionals Make Mistakes: "I took my son to the PG-rated 'The Man Who Knew Too Little' with Bill Murray. There is a scene of an elderly couple dressed in bondage gear. 'Why did he ask her to spank him, Mom?' The MPAA apparently thought because it was an elderly couple it was too funny to be sex-related." — Nell Minow, aka The Movie Mom
"We started 'Look Who's Talking,' which begins with a lovely sequence of sperm swimming along looking for an egg and making innuendos. Then has a storyline about the baby being the result of an affair. Yeah. We didn't get very far into it. I remember loving it." — Rebecca Cusey, movie critic, Six Seeds.tv

Historically, papers have been physically bound to the journal in which they were published; but in the digital age papers are available individually, no longer tied to their respective journals. Hence, papers now can be read and cited based on their own merits, independently of the journal's physical availability, reputation, or impact factor (IF). We compare the strength of the relationship between journals' IFs and the actual citations received by their respective papers from 1902 to 2009. Throughout most of the 20th century, papers' citation rates were increasingly linked to their respective journals' IFs. However, since 1990, the advent of the digital age, the relation between IFs and paper citations has been weakening. This began first in physics, a field that was quick to make the transition into the electronic domain. Furthermore, since 1990 the overall proportion of highly cited papers coming from highly cited journals has been decreasing and, of these highly cited papers, the proportion not coming from highly cited journals has been increasing. Should this pattern continue, it might bring an end to the use of the IF as a way to evaluate the quality of journals, papers, and researchers.

Syria's opposition chief Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib on Wednesday demanded that all women held in Syrian prisons be freed by Sunday, or the regime will lose its chance for dialogue, in an interview with BBC Arabic.
"These things cannot wait until judgment day. The demand that the women are released means that if there is one single woman still in prison in Syria on Sunday, I consider that the regime has rejected my initiative," the Syrian National Coalition leader said.

A Preliminary SPICE Model to Calculate the Radiation Impedance of a Baffled Circular Piston
Acoustic systems often use circular pistons to radiate sound into fluid media. Mathematically, the solution to the radiation impedance of a baffled circular piston is well known. Implementing the exact solution in circuit analysis packages, such as SPICE, however, can be difficult because many commercial packages do not include Bessel and Struve functions. A SPICE subcircuit is presented that calculates the radiation impedance for all frequencies to a good approximation.

View mapYangon intro. Yangon used to be the capital of Myanmar, or Burma, until the military junta moved the capital to Naypyidaw in 2006. However, Yangon remains the country's largest city and the main gateway for visitors. Yangon hotels are dotted around the city, with most high-end options located around Kandawgyi Lake. The highlight of any visit to Yangon is the Shwedagon Pagoda. Situated atop Singuttara Hill, the pagoda is simply breathtaking. There are many temples in the city, but Shwedagon is the most beautiful, although Sule Pagoda is also a sight to behold. There are two museums in the city that are worthwhile visiting: the National Museum of Myanmar and the Myanmar Gem Museum. Shopping is also fun and a cultural experience. Bargaining is a must, but most sellers are not pushy, which makes shopping fun. The best place to start is Bogyoke Aung San Market. However, stay away from buying gems in the markets.

The Queen's Staircase
The Queen's staircase is named after Queen Victoria who is revered in the Bahamas. The canyon there was created as stone was quarried for things like the fort that was built up the hill from it. The staircase was hand carved by the slaves that quarried the stone to get it up the hill to the fort as it was constructed. The stairs are now faced with brick to make them more stable and protect them from the wear and tear of countless feet, so you can't actually see the part of the stairs that were carved out.
I loved the look and feel of this place, descending into the cool, shady, narrow stone space with trees and plants softening and greening the weathered walls. Our tour bus met us at the bottom, so we had the easy climb down without having to return. There are people selling stuff at the fort and all along the bottom of the canyon. Our guide suggested we buy from the straw market and the port market if we wanted to find some native handicrafts instead of imports from China.

Queen's Staircase
The Queen's is one of the top attractions of Nassau and its... well - a staircase. A staircase of 65 steep steps carved into limestone by slaves in the 18th century. The staircase is not clearly visible from the street, but when you reach the parking lot under fort Fincastle, keep to the left towards the tiny green wooden shed, and past there you'll come to it.
There's a reason behind the number of steps - and the name: 65 were the numbers of years that Queen Victoria had reigned. There's also a reason why it is so hidden away. It was to provide British troops a protected route to Fort Fincastle.
Address: Bennet's Hill
Directions: uphill from downtown Nassau
Queen's Staircase
On the way to the Water Tower and Fort Fincastle, take Elizabeth Ave which is a passage through a 90 foot deep gorge. The passageway was cut from solid limestone by slaves, beginning in the 1790's, with the intent of constructing a roadway through Prospect Ridge. The passageway features seats in cool shade and is nice to stop by on your way through. At the end is the Queen's Staircase which features 66 steps up out of the gorge.

Carved out of the Nassau Bedrock, this impressive structure leading to Fort Fincastle orginally had 66 stairs, but now there are only 65. At the top is the water tower and fort, at the bottom is an astounding view of the tiers and some vendors awaiting a good bargain.
