Armed Robbery at Sunoco Xtra Mart
The Colonie Police Department is investigating an armed robbery that took place Sunday, Jan. 5 at 10:38 p.m. at the Sunoco Xtra Mart, 616 Broadway. Two suspects entered the business, armed with black handguns, and demanded the clerk hand over cash and cigarettes, police said.
The suspects ran off with approximately $450 cash and several cartons of cigarettes and no shots were fired, police added in a statement. Police say they may have gotten into a white sport utility vehicle driven by a third suspect.
Police are still trying to see if they are linked to similar armed robberies that took place Sunday night in both Troy and Albany.
Suspect Descriptions:
Suspect 1: male, unknown race (possibly white), 6' tall, black bandana covering his face, black pants, black shoes and a grey hooded sweatshirt – armed with a black handgun
Suspect 2: male, unknown race, shorter than suspect 1, black ski mask, black pants, black sneakers and black hooded sweatshirt – armed with a black handgun
Suspect 3: (driver), male, unknown race, driving white sport utility vehicle
Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to contact the Colonie Police Department at 783-2744.

Dr. Brandes tells us that it followed Danish models, the sagas, and the national ballads.
Some critics, and among them Dr. Brandes, place it later, and they have some reason for their belief.
Brandes sat down on the parapet of the bridge and held his straw hat on his fat knees.
Brandes rose with an air almost jocular and smote Stull upon the back.
An unusually large number of falling stars were seen by Brandes, December 6, 1798.
Brandes tightened his dental grip on his cigar and squinted at him good-humouredly.
His last signature in the letter to Brandes reveals the preoccupation of his memory with the religion he despised.
It was entirely new to her, this attention which Brandes paid her.
A more extensive plan was organized by Brandes in the year 1823, and carried into effect in the neighborhood of Breslaw.
Brandes walked down to their car with them after they had taken their leave.

Since breastfeeding involves no bottles with milk measured in visible ounces, it is important to monitor your baby's milk intake in other ways—particularly during the early weeks and months of life.
The best way to make sure your baby is eating enough is to have her weight checked regularly— at every visit to the pediatrician and even between visits if your pediatrician recommends this.
In the meantime, try keeping a breastfeeding log or diary to note each nursing session and wet diaper. There's no need to be obsessive about this, but spot-checking can be very reassuring as you establish your milk supply, and the information is useful to share with your pediatrician.

Santa Maria Couple Arrested for Child Endangerment
Santa Ynez - March 13th, 2014
A Santa Maria couple is arrested for child endangerment at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez. At around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11, Sheriff's deputies assigned to the Solvang station responded to the Chumash Casino to a report of a 4-year-old child who was found walking by herself around the casino parking structure. The passerby, who found the child, took her to the security desk and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office was notified.
Through the course of the investigation, Sheriff's deputies determined 28-year-old Petra Zaragoza and 23-year-old Bulmaro Reyes, the child's parents, had stopped at the casino around noon to gamble and had left their child in the car sleeping. About ten minutes later, the child was seen leaving the car and looking around for her parents.
Due to the fact, their actions could have resulted in great bodily injury to the child, Reyes and Zaragoza were arrested for felony child endangerment and transported to the Santa Barbara County Jail where they are in custody.

The New DILFs
Nancy Dubuc
President and General Manager, The History channel and Lifetime Networks
How she got there: As the senior VP of nonfiction programming, she amped up AETN with Growing Up Gotti, Inked, and Intervention; as president of History, she championed the risky Ice Road Truckers, Ax Men, Pawn Stars, and now, Top Gear—about which Dubuc gushes: "I'm so intimately attached to it. We waited for NBC to pass on the pilot, and then aggressively went after it, selling BBC executives on why it was okay for this show to be on History." Top Gear led to the best ratings ever for the network.
But if it doesn't work? "We're known for celebrating failure. The day after the show premieres and those ratings come in, we ask ourselves if we would've done anything different. If my team can look me in the eye and say no, then they've done their job."
Go with your gut: "We're all creative, and we often let the business get ahead of us. We let the research data tell us `No.' "
Michele Ganeless
President, Comedy Central
How she got there: As executive VP of USA (2001–2004), Ganeless revitalized the network with Monk and The Dead Zone. As Comedy Central's senior VP of programming, Ganeless presided over South Park, The Man Show, and The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. Last summer, Comedy Central was the number-one cable network in prime time among the elusive holy-grail demo, men 18 to 24.
Proudest moment: "The [Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear] in Washington, DC—I can't think of a prouder day. Jon and Stephen Colbert created a live TV event attended by over 300,000, watched by millions on air and online. When we went live, everything came together exactly how Jon and Steve wanted it, from broadcast to the merchandise to the charities that benefited."
Why ladies are leading in cable: "So many of us [female executives] grew up in cable TV. We rose through the ranks."

'Tis the season for awards campaign hashtags; more Designated Reads
• Collin Klein and Kenjon Barner would like a word. We can think of a few folks who might take issue with USC's assertion that Marqise Lee is the best player in college football, but he certainly has a compelling case (and his own hashtag). And will fruitless Heisman arguments stop us from posting kickass highlight reels? They most certainly will not.
• We see what you're saying, but all we hear is "start looking for parking in New Orleans, like, tomorrow." Brett "Sources" McMurphy was first to report yesterday that the Sugar Bowl has won the Champions Bowl bidding war and will host an annual SEC-Big 12 champions clash, when it's not serving as a playoff semifinal site. The first game will take place on Jan. 1, 2015, and the agreement runs through January 2026. So, Arlington for the title game, then?
• Roster blotter. No updates from Houston as of Wednesday morning on the condition of defensive back D.J. Hayden, who was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital after a collision with a teammate in Tuesday's practice, other than Tony Levine calling whatever happened a "freak accident." Hayden was honored last week as a Conference USA Player of the Week for his pair of interceptions against UTEP ... surgery on B.J. Daniels' broken leg is complete ... Bill Snyder, unsurprisingly, hopes to have Collin Klein back in action for Kansas State's game at TCU ... Kevin Hogan will start at quarterback for Stanford against Oregon State ... have we seen the last of Munchie Legaux? ... Zach Maynard is day to day for Cal ... and Mark Richt has what we're probably all going to end up calling a swingset-P90X injury to his hip, which is all we have to say about that, except that at least he didn't hurt himself butt-dialing a recruit.
• Schedule matters. Announcing future games of a non-bowl nature this week: Hawaii will travel to Michigan on Sept. 3, 2016 and shifts 2013's season opener against USC to Thursday, Aug. 29 ... Michigan has also established a home-and-home series with Arkansas for 2018 and 2019 and booked BYU for Sept. 26, 2015 ... not to be outdone, the Cougars have signed a home-and-home deal with Virginia for 2013 and 2014 ... Maryland and FIU will play a home-and-home series to open 2013 and in Week 2 of 2016.Darrell Royal, RIP. remembers a Texas legend

|When we at Trans-MISSION were running regular monthly events, we developed a reputation for being a safe, relaxed and friendly environment for transvestites and cross-dressers to come and for them to bring their partners along without 'freaking them out'. Since we stopped our regular events, one of the questions we get asked most frequently is, "Where is a safe and friendly place to go out as a tranny in the UK?"
It'sad to say that there are actually very few places like Trans-MISSION in the UK. Many of the regular transgender events have more of a 'hard edge' than we used to and can be a little daunting to newcomers, first-timers and partners. If you're after a completely 'no risk' place to go, then local meetings of the Beaumont Society tend to be very relaxed, but they also tend to be small and in some cases rather unexciting and cliquey and for these reasons they may not be ideal, especially for wives and partners.
Of the remaining clubs, some are there almost purely for transvestites and transexuals interested in 'getting it on' with each other or with admiring males, some have undertones of this but are more mainstream and some are genuinely nice places to go. Transvestite and cross-dressing events come and go with alarming irregularity - we try and keep our links page up to date where we can, so hopefully you will find the places we list still open! We've tried to add a short description to the tranny-friendly bars, clubs and events listed below to give you an idea of what they are like. One good place to try to find out what's going on is Roses Forum which despite the rather flowery name is one of the most active, welcoming and up-to-date transgender chat forums in the UK.
|London and the South East
The Way Out Club is London's longest running transgender night spot. It runs every Saturday (almost) without fail and is hosted by the lovely Vicky Lee. Each week there is usually a drag show of some kind. The atmosphere at the club has been slightly tarnished by the number of transsexual 'escorts' and the like who can be found hanging around the bar chatting men up but in recent years, Vicky Lee and the others that run the club have made an effort to remove this unwanted menace and although the club still has an edgy feel it's much more relaxed than it once was.
Held on Thursdays and Saturdays, this tranny venue in Walthamstow is worth a visit. The venue is shared with other clientele (and clientelle - spot the extra 'l' - see what we did there?) so it's not exclusively tranny, but the girls who go certainly know how to have fun. If their kind of 'fun' is your kind of 'fun' you're on to a winner.
Lacy Ladies is held every Monday in Stepney in East London (a part of London with a long history of being home to transvestite clubs!) The club has a 'play room' which, whilst it might be full of toys, is most definitely not intended for the under-18's! Not for the faint-hearted.
Candy Girls is held every Friday night in Sunbury, just of the M25 to the West of London. They also do occasional tours and hold some events on a Tuesday. It's one of the clubs we could call 'edgy' with, for example, a resident 'dungeon master' but it is possible to go along and just have a drink and a party without getting drawn into anything more fetish.
|National (UK)
Sparkle is an annual celebration of all things tranny which is held early each Summer in Manchester. The idea for Sparkle followed Trans-MISSION's own first birthday party in Manchester!

I just need some space, you know?
No, I'm not repeating the line I received from Mary Beth McSlurp when she dumped me back in sixth grade. Or the numerous similar heave-ho messages I got from other Marys in the years that followed, for that matter.
I'm talking about display space, or lack thereof. In many moderate to smaller stores, a produce department may be in an area with lots of produce supporters and high customer traffic, but is likewise cursed with what grocers casually refer to as a "small footprint."
It's pretty hard to build spillovers when the edge of a produce fixture is only 6 feet away from an equally busy bakery rack or dairy case.
However, this doesn't mean it's time to give up. Sometimes the extra space needed to display fresh produce — and build sales — is right under your nose.
One of my old produce manager buddies used to muscle his way into the store's front lobby. This space was usually reserved for soda pop displays by grocery-minded store directors.
The produce manager compared notes of what volume the square footage moved versus what produce he estimated he could sell using the same space over a similar timespan.
Then, like the good space predator he was, he went for the kill.
The produce manager presented the store director with the gross profit projections. As anyone in the business knows, fresh produce doesn't always drum up comparable gross sales figures but it overwhelmingly returns a higher, gross-profit margin.
"You know," he said, "money you can actually deposit in the bank at the end of the day?"
He succeeded by at least getting to share the space on a rotating basis.
Another produce manager I knew was able to gain extra sales space in an unconventional area. He noticed that the in-store bank located at the front of his department closed at noon on Saturday, and remained shuttered until Monday morning.
So he prepared half a dozen bins and lined them in front of the bank's vacated real estate. Each of the bins was piled with produce items he wanted to push for the prime weekend period. It was a great opportunity to snag the premium, unused space that until then nobody noticed was even available.
Depending on the time of year the mix varied: Apples in the fall; holiday items; lemons and limes on hot summer days; iced bins of asparagus; or a single, big display of strawberries. You name it, it worked, and simply because for the sharp-eyed merchandiser there was available space to work with.
Space that even Mary Beth McSlurp would appreciate.
Armand Lobato works for the Idaho Potato Commission. His 30 years of experience in the produce business span a range of foodservice and retail positions.

Work Retreats at the Forest Refuge
What is a work retreat?
A Forest Refuge Work Retreat provides an opportunity to use work as practice, to develop and apply mindfulness to daily life activities in addition to formal meditation sessions.
Work retreats are scheduled in calendar-month blocks.
Work retreatants follow the same retreat guidelines as other Forest Refuge participants, but with longer periods of activity where mindfulness can be integrated into action. A work retreatant can still engage in formal practice and benefit from dharma talks and interviews with the teachers.
Silence is maintained except for any necessary communications with work supervisors and teachers. Otherwise, there is no interaction with staff members or others on retreat. Participation is limited to experienced meditators and requires a high degree of self-reliance.
Your service as a work retreatant is an essential aspect of the smooth functioning of the Forest Refuge. Flexibility in accepting work assignments, usually in the Kitchen or Housekeeping department, is important.
Work can be physically demanding at times and requires the ability and energy to engage in solitary manual activities for five hours each day.
If you don't see an opening during the month(s) you wish to be a work retreatant here, feel free to still apply, and on acceptance you will be placed on a wait list.
All spots are currently filled

November 6 - December 5 (lottery application deadline is July 26)
Work retreatants maintain a full daily retreat schedule that combines periods of work with sitting and walking practice. Work times can often be adjusted to suit both individual and departmental needs.
A typical daily schedule might look like this:
5:00 am – Wake up
5:30–6:30 am – Personal Practice
..... 6:30 am – Breakfast .....
7:30–9:00 am – Personal Practice
9:00 am–12:00 noon – Work Practice
..... 12:00 noon – Lunch .....
2:00–3:30 pm – Personal Practice
3:30–5:30 pm – Work Practice
..... 5:30 pm – Light Dinner .....
6:00–7:00 pm – Personal Practice
7:00–8:00 pm – Dharma talk
8:00–10:00 pm – Personal Practice
Days off for more intensive formal practice, as well as for personal chores and laundry are given during a work retreat. These are scheduled with the work supervisor.
Length of stay
Work retreats are scheduled in calendar-month blocks, starting on the first of the month. Positions are available for one month or for two consecutive months within a calendar year. Once you have committed to a work retreat, we count on your participation. If you must cancel, please let us know as soon as possible so we can find a replacement.
Program rates
In undertaking a work retreat you are offering IMS a form of dana (a heartfelt donation) through your work efforts. We greatly value this form of service. There is no nightly rate – all that is required is a non-refundable $35 application processing fee.
Application process
Work retreat applicants must be eligible to sit at the Forest Refuge. To apply for a work retreat, complete both the Forest Refuge Application and the Forest Refuge Work Retreat Application.
Due to the increasing popularity of our work retreat program and our ongoing commitment to expanding access to all, we will collect work retreat applications through the end of June 2017, at which point we will notify work retreat applicants of their registration status.

"This was a wonderful application of practicing equanimity and integration."

Protecting your Mexican
real estate investment
By David M. Brown
Contrary to what you may have heard, Americans, or any non-Mexican nationals, can purchase property fee simple (or direct deed) in Mexico except when the property is in the restricted zone: 32 miles from the shoreline or 62.5 miles from the border.
However, buyers can acquire coastal and border-area properties in the restricted zone by establishing a Mexican Bank Trust, or fideicomiso. The bank, as trustee, charges an annual service fee and holds the legal title to the property for up to 50 years. For less than $1,000, the potential buyers register for a permit to establish the trust at the Secretariat de Relaciones Exteriores. The permit issued, a notario prepares the deed or "escritura." After acquisition taxes and filing fees are paid, the deed is recorded.
Unlike the English common-law based American system, Mexican law is a civil law system and therefore heavily codified. However, it is specific regarding fee-simple ownership. The Foreign Investment Law of Mexico (FIL), established in 1971 and amended twice since, explains what properties must be in a "fideicomiso" and what properties are nonresidential and therefore can be purchased by foreigners in a Mexican corporation, explains Mitch Creekmore, director of business development for the Mexico Division of Stewart Title Guaranty Company in Houston.
As beneficiary of the 50-year fideicomiso, the buyer can basically do what he or she wants: Improve it, lease it, sell it, mortgage it, will it. Your estate becomes the beneficiary, and you or the estate can indefinitely extend the trust in 50-year periods. Buyers of a property already in a fideicomiso can begin a new 50-year cycle.
Dinero is spoken here
Don't worry about financing either. Although most purchases of Mexican real estate by Americans have traditionally been cash deals, through home equity loans on a primary residence, or through private lenders, a growing number of developers are becoming involved in financing. In addition, third-party lenders in the United States are available, often accepting as little as 20 percent down on a purchase.
One of these lenders is the International Mortgage and Investment Group, based in Phoenix with offices in Austin and New York. Led by Timothy K. Kelley and Kevin Hardin, the IMI Group is helping to solve the former challenges of securing financing for property in Mexico. "In the past year and a half, there have been entities that have lent private-equity money to individuals buying homes," says Hardin, the company's CEO and a certified mortgage banker and certified mortgage consultant who has placed more than $10 billion in mortgages into the secondary market.
"Right now our biggest initiative is to educate people on either side of the transaction," adds Kelley, a native Phoenician who learned about the Mexican industry by living and working in Mexico City for 10 years before returning to Arizona.
In addition, the men are working to establish a sound secondary market for selling Mexican-based mortgages. By providing a dependable means by which existing mortgages can be sold, more capital will be freed for new buyers, creating what Hardin calls a "free-flowing market."
The IMI Group is also leading a nationwide effort to create an International Mortgage Lenders Association to represent individuals and entities involved in or related to the business of lending money to Americans buying property in Mexico. The men are working with stakeholders such as the Arizona Mexico Commission, the National Law Center for Inter-American Free Trade and financial-industry players such as GMAC-RFC, Stewart Title, Collateral International and M&I Bank.
Both men agree that the process for financing property in Mexico is much more accessible than it was even a few years ago. "It's identical to the U.S. mortgage process, much like a Fannie Mae structure, in U.S. dollars, with a U.S. company, a U.S. escrow agent, and with a high level of confidence." Similarly, title insurance policies are almost identical to those issued for American properties.
Get good counsel
Most importantly, when buying property in Mexico, have the right information and the right counseling, specifically with professionals who have experience on cross-border matters.
"More and more, the practice of law in Mexico is resembling the practice of law in the United States," explains Benjamin Aguilera, an attorney with the Phoenix office of Greenberg Traurig. The reason for this, of course, is that so much of the capital is from the United States, though a U.S. attorney must still be familiar with the proper documentation in order to comply both systems.
Aguilera underscores: "There is no single glove that will fit every transaction." Different states, for instance, may have different laws. "Despite the proximity, the ease of traveling, the appeal and allure of doing business in Mexico, it is a different country with very stringent laws and its own judicial system."
He offers a few caveats: "Don't eschew common sense in your south-of-the-border transaction. Don't do in Mexico what you wouldn't do here." Furthermore, just being able to habla espanol isn't enough. "It involves being knowledgeable of the interrelation of the two legal systems, the protocol for doing business, the nuances of the spoken and body languages and the financial effects on both sides of the border," he says.

You are correct this has nothing to do with backtrack linux.
Stop using his network and the problems will also alleviate themselves.
Hi everyone,
I know this isn't really a question that belongs in these forums but I didn't know where else to ask so here it is anyways...
I'm living in a studio apartment that shares the building with 7 other apartments. My neighbor has the only internet connection available for the house and he shares this connection with the others over WIFI only. Since I was having some connection problems I did some checks and then found out I am being arp-spoofed and my email traffic get rerouted trough my neighbors computer. Also when I take one pc offline and scan from another he spoofs my mac/ip and tries to connect to sites I've visited.
I turned-on Wireshark for a while to collect enough info to go to the police (for my neighbor doesn't do anything he says) but got the message back that me scanning HIS network is a crime and my proofs can not be used in court and would cost me about 300 euro's in fines
Now all I can do is try to protect my computer and data but here I can use some advice for I don't know an awful lot about networking myself. Here is what I did to protect myself;
- Inbstalled tor/polipo
- installed https everywere plugin and updated bookmarks to use https
- Installed trackmenot plugin to mess-up tracking of site visits
- ssh autentication only with keys and use ssh trough proxy tunnel (ssh -D)
- set-up iptables to only allow incomming connections that I started locally
Will this protect all my data or is there a better way? I also have a remote VPS, would it be better maybe to set-up forwarding on my VPS and then set-up a ssh tunnel to connect my local machines?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards, Arjan

Frederic DemersAffiliation:
Soloist, Fred Piston and his 7 Trumpets, Trio Débonnaire, Magnitude6
Artist's BiographyFrederic Demers, trumpet player and pedagogue
Frederic obtained his Doctor's degree in Cornet Performance at the Montreal University.
Upon having attended Frederic Demers's concerts, everyone agrees that this musician may surely be considered as one of the best trumpet and cornet players to be born in Canada in generations. Currently, Frederic is teaching at the Val-d'Or Conservatory, in Canada's Northern Quebec, as well as at Montreal's Regina Assumpta College. In addition, this strong-willed and technically flamboyant young virtuoso is in great demand as an orchestral soloist. Since 2009, he has been invited to play with someone dozen Canadian symphonic and major wind ensembles.
Frederic Demers also happens to be one of those musicians for whom chamber music is a passion. To that effect, he is a founding member of the IMPACT Brass Quintet Magnitude6, which has given itself the mission of making the general public better acquainted and appreciative of new and avant-garde music that, more and more, is being written for brass ensembles. since 1994. More recently, namely in 2007, he also joined the very dynamic
Frederic Demers very much enjoys the contact he can establish with children by means of music. He can thus pass on strong emotions, different from what movies, television or video games can bring them. In 2006, he created a multimedia show that features eight or more different types of trumpets. Since 2007, with the collaboration of Jeunesses Musicales du Canada, Mr. Demers performed a one-man-show called Fred Piston and his 7 Trumpets over 400 times for about 40,000 youths aged between 3 to 12.
Stemming from a family in which classical music has always been present, Frederic Demers has nonetheless also taken an interest in jazz for over 20 years. This versatility has been following him throughout his career's progression, which explains why he can be heard improvising as much on disc as in concert.

I am a former "Buckeye" girl turned California girl. Eleven days after signing up on ChristianMingle, I saw Danyel's profile and was curious about this Midwest Indiana boy. I made the first move by reaching out to Danyel, which caught his attention. From that moment on, communication progressed quickly from two e-mails exchanged a day, to the first phone call lasting more than three hours! Since I lived in California, we planned to meet in-person over the Christmas holidays, when I came to visit my family in Ohio.
How do you know you should continue a relationship with someone? Some people just "know" as they progress through their relationship and love is a gradual process. Others have this one moment to pinpoint the time when they fell in love and knew this person was "the one." I was a mix of the two. My love deepened as I got to know Danyel, but on New Years' Eve, while having breakfast together, I knew this was the man I wanted to marry and I hoped he felt the same way. I actually told Danyel about that moment a month later and he said the Lord confirmed the same thing to him the very same day! Our God is a God of mystery and love!

One consequence of the sheer ubiquity of capital-A Art in Miami this past week—Art Basel in Miami Beach, Art Miami in Midtown, the Scope fair in Winwood—is that looking at design objects suddenly seems very refreshing. The crowds toward the close of this year's fair were evidently looking for a little refreshment, with attendance still running strong late Sunday afternoon at Design Miami, the modern-and-contemporary mainstay in the big white tent just opposite the convention center.
There, exhibitors were generally positive about the 2012 experience. "I've done lots of fairs, and this one is the best," reported Patrick Parrish of New York gallery Mondo Cane, which was featuring work from Minneapolis-based design studio RO/LU. Parrish, who was marking his first year at the show, had tapped RO/LU and its oddball, angle-cut furnishings in response to show organizers' requests for more American-made work. "The French own this show," Parrish says: Since Art Basel attracts a certain class of buyer with a taste for more established, modernist design, European galleries are at an advantage, and collections like Parrish's helped Design Miami to diversify its offerings. Just the same, there still looked to be a preponderance of mid-century European work, from exhibitor Demisch Denant's suite of tables and chairs by designer Pierre Guariche to Galerie Patrick Seguin's items from Le Corbusier's Chandigarh project in India.
But Design Miami wasn't the only place to go for quality design-peeping. All over town, little surprises turned up. At the NADA fair in North Beach, the booth for Natalie Karg/CUMULUS overflowed with the eponymous gallerist's artist-designed outdoor furnishings, an unusual sight at an art show. "I'm the only one," Karg says. "It's challenging, it's out of the norm." At the Standard Hotel on the Venetian Causeway, artist José Paría turned interior designer for a small pop-up café serving cheap Cuban snacks to guests and party-goers. The Miami-based YoungArts Foundation, which promotes and rewards promising young performers and artist from around the country, unveiled its new offices in the former headquarters of the Bacardi company, a perfect modernist ensemble from the mid-1960s that seems to have been completely untouched by time (and is being judiciously untouched by its new tenants).
Of course, the hub of design in the city remained the famed Design District. Even as the area nabe undergoes a rapid transformation from cozy cultural enclave to glossy luxury lifestyle district, the design community here still seems vital. The stores stayed open late Saturday to welcome evening partygoers, and some even opened up on Sunday to take in a few final stragglers. Working the desk at the Jonathan Adler store, Pilar Campos was in high spirits. "Everybody wants to be here now," she says.

text: California Faces 'Gloomy' Water-Supply Year March 1, 2013 05:32 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email Third 2013 snow survey shows continuing dry conditions in the state. Source: California Dept. of Water Resources California snow surveyors confirmed Thursday that water content in the mountain snowpack is well below normal for the date. The snowpack hasn't actually lost much water content since the season's first survey on Jan. 2, when it was 134% of normal for that date, but it hasn't continued to build as winter has deepened because of the continuing warm weather that set in after the storms of late November and early December. In other words, the snowpack has not kept pace with the calendar. As a result, the Feb. 28 snowpack water content is only 66% of average for this time of year, and only 57% of the average April 1 reading, when the snowpack normally is at its peak before beginning to melt into the state's streams, reservoirs and aquifers. The snowpack – often called California's "frozen reservoir "– normally provides about a third of the water for California's farms and communities. With no precipitation in the forecast, the Northern California region whose storms fill key reservoirs that supply water to farms and millions of Californians is headed toward the driest January-February on record (since 1920). This is the normally rain-rich, mountainous area from Shasta Lake in the north to the American River basin in the south, where a scant 2.2" of rain has fallen since December, 13% of average. The next driest January-February was in 1991, with 4" of precipitation. Forecasters note there could be a weather turnaround in March, but it is unlikely late-season storms will make up the water supply deficit. "Near-record dry weather combined with pumping restrictions to protect Delta smelt are making this a gloomy water supply year," said Department of Water Resources (DWR) Director Mark Cowin. "This scenario is exactly why we need an alternative water conveyance system as proposed in the Bay Delta Conservation Plan to both protect fish species and give California a reliable water supply." Electronic readings indicate that water content in the northern mountains is 70% of normal for the date, and 62% of the April 1 seasonal average. Electronic readings for the central Sierra show 67% of normal water content for the date and 58% of the April 1 average. The numbers for the southern Sierra are 60% of average for the date and 51% of the April 1, full-season average. DWR and cooperating agencies conduct manual snow surveys around the first of the month from January through May. The manual measurements supplement and check the accuracy of the real-time electronic readings from sensors up and down the state. DWR currently estimates that it will be able to deliver 40% of the slightly more than 4 million acre-feet of State Water Project (SWP) water requested for this calendar year by the 29 public agencies that supply more than 25 million people and nearly a million acres of irrigated farmland. The delivery estimate may change to reflect changing conditions. The final allocation of State Water Project water in calendar year 2012 was 65% of requested deliveries. The initial delivery estimate for calendar year 2011 was only 25% of requested SWP water. However, as winter took hold, a near-record snowpack and heavy rains resulted in deliveries of 80% of requests in 2011. The final allocation was 50% in 2010, 40% in 2009, 35% in 2008, and 60% in 2007. The last 100% allocation -- difficult to achieve even in wet years because of pumping restrictions to protect Delta fish -- was in 2006. Despite the dwindling snowpack, most key storage reservoirs are above or near historic levels for the date thanks to November and December storms. An exception is San Luis Reservoir, a critical offstream reservoir south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta that is only at 69% of its historic level for the date. San Luis normally is filled by pumping from the Delta, but today is only 60% full because of the Delta smelt pumping restrictions. Electronic snowpack readings may be found here. Electronic reservoir level readings are available here. Back to news Click here to learn more about the Million Dollar Wildfire Relief Challenge, and see how you can help in the rebuilding effort.

The Patron Saint of Writers and JournalistsBy Dan Piepenbring
Today is the feast day of Francis de Sales, the patron saint of writers and journalists. A bishop of Geneva, Francis died in 1622. He was fond of using flyers and books to convert Calvinists—hence his patronage, though one can imagine him just as easily settling into a post as patron saint of marketing, or patron saint of well-meaning finger-wagging.
Francis's most enduring work is 1609's Introduction to the Devout Life, which was written for laypeople—a novel idea at the time. CatholiCity, a repository of "the Finest Catholic CDs, Booklets, and Novels," calls it "the most popular Catholic 'self-help' book of all time," and when you peruse the table of contents, it's not hard to see why. There's plenty of practical wisdom on offer, e.g., "All Evil Inclinations Must Be Purged Away"; "One Word to Maidens"; "Dryness and Spiritual Barrenness"; "How to Exercise Real Poverty, Although Actually Rich"; and, conversely, "How to Possess a Rich Spirit Amid Real Poverty." Then there's the meditation on hell, which goes from yogic to despairing at the drop of a mitre:
1. Place yourself in God's Presence.
2. Humble yourself, and ask His Aid.
3. Picture to yourself a dark city, reeking with the flames of sulphur and brimstone, inhabited by citizens who cannot get forth.

Feminism | Posted by Brukea on 09/18/2013
I Need Feminism Because I Am Blind Without It
The feminist fight is one that the general public tends to sweep under the carpet.
In other words, the feminist movement is often overlooked as a useless fight. Far too many people believe that the women's fight is over.
Speaking from the perspective of a 17-year-old male, I believe that it is not hatred towards women or a belief that they should be in a lower status or portrayed in a certain manner that keeps us from moving forward, but rather a lack of knowledge for the actual causes being fought for in the feminist movement and the long-lasting effects these issues have in society.
Taking a feminist studies and activism class in high school opened my eyes to domestic as well as international issues that devastate our world. These …

bahahahaha definitely the best story I've read all day
Someone herped when they should have derped lol
Well, it could be read that the lady is trying to point out that the Tab and iPad are "virtually indistinguishable", essentially putting on a show for the court, albeit, in a very odd way.I mean, they're trying to prove that Apple is infringing on their patents, right? So what's to keep their lawyers from playing coy and pretend to not be able to tell a Tab apart from an iPad?
Well maybe Samsuck shouldn't rip of the iPad 2 design with a black border and metal silver frame.Seriously, if Apple released an all silver tablet so would Samsuck.
In my opinion, Galaxy Tab and Xoom are better products. Apple should out design their competitors, not sue them once they notice a threat to their market share. This silly litigious strategy stymies technology, prevents consumers from accessing good products and allows the second best to reign supreme. I'm pointing my finger at all the big players here, patent law is getting out of hand and us consumers have to pick up the tab for expensive lawsuits whilst purchasing a less competitive range of products. All these companies should nut up.
lets see how VERY DIFFERENT the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is to the iPad/iPad 2 and I CHALLENGE YOU TO SHOW ME HOW THEY ARE:
10.1 = 16:9 wide screen iPad2 = 4:3 square screen
10.1 = no physical home button iPad2 = physical home button
10.1 = camera in landscape mode iPad2 = camera in portrait mode
10.1 = dual surround sound speakers iPad2 = single speaker
10.1 = 2 tone white/grey or grey/grey iPad2 = brushed aluminum
10.1 = no screen rotation lock button iPad2 = screen rotation lock button
10.1 = 3.5mm jack in landscape iPad2 = 3.5mm jack in portrait
10.1 = 2mp rear camera iPad2 = 0.7mp rear camera
10.1 = 10.1 inch display iPad2 = 9.7 inch display
10.1 = 1280x800 resolution iPad2 = 1024x768
10.1 = rear camera flash iPad2 = NO camera flash
10.1 = 256.6x172.9x8.6 iPad2 = 241.2x185.7x8.8
10.1 = 595g iPad2 = 601g
10.1 = plastic and glass iPad2 = metal and glass
10.1 = rounded edges, flat design ipad2 = wedge shape, tapered edge
Epic failure
really cant see from 10ft. Then they shouldn't be allowed to drive either if you can't see within 10 feet.
This whole thing is complete BS. Who the hell cares if you can't tell the difference 10 to 20 feet away. It runs a completely different OS/iOS and it's different hardware also. Do you see Ford/Chevy/Toyota crying about how a certain vehicle may look alike or any other companies? The fact is Apple doesn't like competition and someone made a compete-able tablet so what's Apple do? They do what they do best and that's sue.
Looks like Samsung should look into getting a better Lawyer.

What the iPhone 5S Reviews Say
The long procession of iPhone 5 reviews are marching by as launch day arrives Friday.
There is no getting around it: the reviews are universally positive, with many calling the latest refresh of Apple smartphone the best in class. Given that Apple also just released its completely rebuilt mobile operating system, many reviews pulled in commentary about iOS 7, too.
There are nearly as many review roundups as there are reviews. If you are pressed for time, the Atlantic Wire has the tightest roundup that not only skims reviews but presents them in a table so you can also compare the 5S against the 5C. If you are not pressed for time, kick off your shoes, pour a glass of wine and settle in to a long night of AnandTech, whose review also serves as user's manual and explanatory, historical guide.
We broke the reviews into categories about the phone, rather than the more traditional "bottom line" word sorted by the reviewers (if you want that, All Things D did a good job), so you will see reviewers names show up multiple times. As always, if we missed a good review, let me know @bryfitz or in the comments.
The Guts: Chips and Speed
One of the biggest changes to the iPhone was inside, so we'll start there. The top-line model sports a new A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, as well as a separate chip dedicated to motion-sensing. There is a lot of debate as to whether a 64-bit chip helps — or hurts — overall speed, and whether it even matters given the skimpy amount of RAM in the iPhone 5S. The consensus is that 64 bits will matter farther down the road, when developers reconstruct their apps to take advantage of the new chip.
Walt Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal:
The iPhone 5s boasts something called a 64-bit processor, which means the system can process data in bigger chunks, and thus much faster. But I didn't notice any dramatic speed improvement, partly because few apps have yet to be rewritten to take advantage of it.
By the time 2015/2016 rolls around and Apple starts bumping into 32-bit addressability concerns, not only will it have navigated the OS transition but a huge number of apps will already be built for 64-bit. Apple tends to do well with these sorts of transitions, so starting early like this isn't unusual
To put that in context, the iPhone 5S beats my 2008 15-inch MacBook Pro by a small measure in the Sunspider benchmark (with the MacBook Pro running the latest Safari 6.1 beta). The iPhone 5S is, in some measures, computationally superior to the top-of-the-line MacBook Pro from just five years ago.
Apple says the 5S's chip is twice as fast as before. Nobody was exactly complaining about the iPhone's speed before, but, sure, it's plenty quick. Since it's a 64-bit chip, Apple says the graphics in 3-D video games look especially smooth and detailed.
There's also a second chip devoted to tracking motion data from the phone's compass, gyroscope and tilt sensor. Apple says this coprocessor should save battery life when you use fitness tracking apps, because it can monitor your data all day long; the main chip, which requires six times as much power, can remain asleep.
Those are both fairly invisible changes, though.
The introduction of the M7 coprocessor, which is able to monitor the phone's movements (so that it can do health monitoring, for example, or tell when you're in a car and where you're heading) seems like Apple offering us a little peek into its future plans. Movement? Low-demand processors? What can it be about? If the 5s is forward-looking, this might be something that it's looking to make more in the shorter term. I wouldn't be surprised if the M7 turns up in another Apple product soon.
In general, the 5s is noticeably speedier; apps load faster and everything just feels zippier. The greatest improvement, however, is in gaming. Not only is gameplay smoother, but also cutaway scenes in between missions load faster and look better. As an example, we played Infinity Blade II on the iPhone 5 and then the 5s, and were amazed to see that we'd missed out on minute-long sections of the animation on the older device because of regular frame-freezes.
Apple's core apps on the 5S are 64-bit optimized, but I didn't anecdotally appreciate huge gains in most of them … except for the camera. It's hard to tell how the A7 will make the iPhone 5S better, even if you can sense the speed. The killer apps don't seem to be here yet.
The Fingerprint Reader
The Wall Street Journal:
The iPhone 5s is the first digital device I've seen with a simple, reliable fingerprint reader — one you can confidently use, without a thought, to unlock the device instead of typing in a passcode. You can even use this fingerprint reader, called Touch ID, to authorize purchases from Apple's App, iTunes and e-book stores.
It sounds like a gimmick, but it's a real advance, the biggest step ever in biometric authentication for everyday devices. After using Touch ID, I found it annoying to go back to typing in passcodes on my older iPhone.
Daring Fireball:
Once you've added a fingerprint, subsequent scans of that finger are nearly instantaneous. Touch ID is way faster than "fast enough." I'd call it "I can't believe it works this quickly" fast. It's also very accurate — only a handful of times over the past week have I had to try a second time, and each of those times, I hadn't really squared up my finger with the sensor. (The key is simply to make sure your skin covers the surrounding metal ring. Do that and it seemingly never misses.)
Apple's Touch ID was the biggest surprise for me. I found it very well executed and a nice part of the overall experience. When between the 5s and the 5/5c, I immediately miss Touch ID. Apple is still a bit too conservative with where it allows Touch ID instead of a passcode, but even just as a way to unlock the device and avoid typing in my iCloud password when downloading apps it's a real improvement. I originally expected Touch ID to be very gimmicky, but now I'm thinking this actually may be a feature we see used far more frequently on other platforms as well.
The fingerprint sensor, unlike some other questionable recent smartphone tech like gesture control or eye-tracking, doesn't feel like a gimmick or tech demo; it feels like a mature feature that actually enhances the overall experience of using an iPhone in a noticeable way that you encounter very frequently.
The Camera
Daring Fireball:
Technically, the 5S camera appears to be an improvement, but a relatively minor one, over that of the 5 (and 5C). The sensor's pixels are slightly bigger, and the lens has gone from an aperture of f/2.5 to f/2.2. I definitely see some improvement in low-light situations, but not radically so. The new True Tone flash sounds great, and in my testing really does noticeably improve the quality of photos taken using the flash — but personally I almost never take photos with flash, and True Tone won't change that.
The Wall Street Journal:
The new camera is still 8 megapixels, but has a bigger sensor that allows for larger pixels that can capture more light and color information. It has a lens that lets in more light and a flash that allows for warmer tones in low light. All my pictures were slightly sharper than on the iPhone 5 and low-light pictures were much less washed out by the flash.
Unlike some of the larger flagships we've reviewed lately, the iPhone 5s doesn't ship with optical image stabilization (OIS). We've seen devices from HTC, LG and Nokia all ship with OIS, and have generally been pleased with the results. It's not a surprise that the 5s doesn't come with OIS as it's largely the same physical platform as the outgoing 5. Still it would be great to see an Apple device ship with OIS. Perhaps on a larger iPhone.
As we said earlier, one of the only cosmetic changes to the iPhone is the addition of a dual-LED flash known as True Tone. The setup consists of a white and amber flash, which the phone uses to analyze the ambient color temperature and determine the intensity at which to fire each LED to match that specific temperature. As a result, our images showed more natural colors — and that was true for both still-life shots and human subjects.
Battery Life
On a day of what we consider to be normal usage, however (this varies by user, naturally), we had no problem getting through a full workday with extra juice to spare. You'll still need to charge it up every night — or sooner than that, depending on your use — but its runtime is at least above average. As an aside, it only took an hour and 50 minutes for the iPhone 5s to charge to full capacity using the supplied charger.
In practice, it does indeed beat its predecessor in terms of general usage. A full charge was good for around 15 hours of actual usage, with over a day and a half of standby time, with a heavy usage period that involved a lot of video viewing on a plane bringing that down to just shy of a day with nearly 11 hours actual active use. It's very close to what I experienced with the iPhone 5c, and shows that both these new phones have made some good changes with regards to power management.
Over normal full-day use, I found I could get to the end of the day with about 20 percent charge left — unplugging around 8 a.m., and looking for an outlet around 8 p.m. I'll need to use it even more to get a better sense, but it's roughly equivalent performance to what the iPhone 5 had during my first week of using it. This isn't the iPhone-with-superpowered-battery that I sometimes dream of, but at least the newer, faster A7 processor hasn't hurt battery life at all — in fact, it seems a little improved.
Design / iOS 7
New York Times:
You might love this design, and you might loathe it. You also might get used to it. But in any case, iOS 7 is more efficient to navigate, because nothing on the screen is eye candy; everything is a button, so you spend less time hunting for things.
New fonts, icons, colors, graphics and gestures abound; the keyboard sports a new look, as do most of the core apps. Spotlight is accessible from every panel now with a small downward tug on the screen; folders can hold a lot more apps; Siri shed the beta tag and got an extra voice with a few new abilities; physics and layers add a new dimension to the UI; and you can even get dynamic wallpapers with parallax.
and later:
Time will tell if this also means that the 5s is just as susceptible to dings and scratches as the iPhone 5; Apple tells us this year's selection of colors are more "metallic," and that will help them wear better. We'll see.
The multitasking interface really shines on the iPhone 5s, since the new design offers thumbnail previews and is a fairly processor-intensive feature., Scrolling through the open apps is smooth on the iPhone 5s, and really demonstrates the muscle under the hood.
Apple is quick to point out that iOS 7 does attempt to make better use of display real estate, but I can't shake the feeling of being too cramped on the 5s. I'm not advocating that Apple go the route of some of the insanely large displays, but after using the Moto X for the past month I believe there's a good optimization point somewhere around 4.6 – 4.7". I firmly believe that Apple will embrace a larger display and branch the iPhone once more, but that time is just not now.
Et Cetera
Daring Fireball:
This is what innovation, real innovation, looks like. It's like the Thomas Edison quote, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Innovation is missed by most people because it is so often incremental.
After a week of using them, my view is simple: If you like Apple products, you'll like these; if you don't, you won't.
With its ease of use, enormous wealth of high-quality apps and content and well-integrated online services, the iPhone still provides the best overall user experience of any smartphone. But while Apple has never introduced this many iPhones, it's also never changed so little from the previous generation.
The Wall Street Journal:
My biggest disappointment is that there have been only minor improvements to the keyboard. Unlike in Android, Apple still bars you from substituting third-party keyboards with better auto-correction. The company says this is due to security worries.
Even compared to a relatively modern phone like the iPhone 4, the jump to a 5s is huge. The gap isn't quite at the level of an order of magnitude, but it's quickly approaching it. Using the single core iPhone 4 under iOS 7 just feels incredibly slow. Starting with the 4S things get a lot better, but I'd say the iPhone 4 is at the point now where it's starting to feel too slow even for normal consumers (at least with iOS 7 installed).
In what would otherwise be considered a mundane update to the iPhone 5, Apple somehow managed to appeal to both the geek (64-bit support, M7 coprocessor, Touch ID) and the average Joe (a fresh, colorful iOS 7), all while laying the groundwork for the company's future.
Taken in totality, the features new to the iPhone 5s make what I consider to be the best smartphone on the market even better, helped enormously by Apple owning the entire end-to-end experience. In my view, iOS is still simpler to use than Android, and made even simpler in iOS 7.
As always, if we missed a good review, let me know @bryfitz or in the comments.

Bills, Byrd remain in contract stalemate
No surprise.
Still, Buffalo Bills fans must've been hoping for a surprise development regarding Jairus Byrd's status this weekend.
The Bills and Byrd have not made progress on a new contract, and he will not report to St. John Fisher College for the start of training camp, two sources with knowledge of the stalemate told The Buffalo News.
Players will begin arriving at St. John Fisher today and must report by Saturday. The first practice is Sunday night.
Byrd, a two-time Pro Bowl safety, technically isn't staging a holdout and cannot be fined for missing practices because he's not under contract. He's the last of eight NFL players to have not signed his franchise tag.
The Bills and Byrd already missed the July 15 deadline for franchised players to negotiate multiyear contract extensions. He now may sign only a one-year deal.
A key issue preventing Byrd from signing could be his desire for a no-franchise clause, which would prohibit the Bills from franchising him again next year. The Bills gave cornerback Nate Clements a no-franchise guarantee in 2006, clearing the way for him to sign with the San Francisco 49ers the next year.
While the Bills would prefer to have Byrd at St. John Fisher and learning new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine's playbook, that might not happen before the team breaks camp Aug. 21.
Byrd would, however, begin to miss out on weekly game checks if he's not under contract before the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against the New England Patriots. Players do not get paid until then.
Byrd has until Nov. 12 to sign a contract and still receive credit for a season toward free agency, his pension and other NFL benefits. If he doesn't sign by that deadline, then he will be ineligible to play until the 2014 season.
The franchise tag for safeties is one year for $6.916 million guaranteed. That would rank Byrd seventh among all NFL safeties in average annual salary, but he wanted the open market to dictate his worth.
The franchise tag prevented Byrd from exploring unrestricted free agency.
But the Bills likely wouldn't have been able to compete with other teams for his services and would have lost their star defender altogether had they not franchised him.
Byrd made his second Pro Bowl last season. He led the Bills with five interceptions and four forced fumbles. He tied for the team lead with two fumble recoveries.
He would be Buffalo's top returning tackler this year. He made 76 tackles, including five for losses.

WASHINGTON According to The Organic Consumers Association, Whole Foods Market has introduced a new policy that states that it believes personal-care products that claim to be organic should meet the same standards as food products, which are currently regulated by the USDA's national organic program.
"In the wake of the BP oil spill, Whole Foods' announcement couldn't come at a better time. Now more than ever, Americans are searching for alternatives to petro-chemicals, including in the bodycare aisle," says Ronnie Cummins, co-founder and executive director of OCA. "The new Whole Foods policy is a major victory for people who want to stop washing petrochemical formulations all over their bodies and then down the drain. These consumers want trusted options for real organic personal care. Whole Foods policy will force major organic cheater brands to drop organic claims from their branding and labeling."
Whole Foods' new policy mandates that "organic product" or "product made with organic [specified ingredients]" claims must be certified under the USDA National Organic Program, just like food. A more limited "contains organic ingredients" claim for personal care may be certified under the NSF ANSI 305 standard, which has additional allowances for personal care products. All organic claims which are not certified, including "organics" in branding must otherwise be dropped. Brands have been told they have until August 1 to explain how they will change their labeling or formulations to comply with the new standard. Those that don't submit an explanation are expected to be dropped from store shelves over the coming year while those that comply will have until June 1, 2011 to be in full compliance with Whole Foods' new policy, OCA reported.

Where did the "t" come from?
Published March 27, 2012
In the most recent past, maybe the last year or so, I have noticed that more and more people are pronouncing the "t" in the word "often." I understand that English is a living language and constantly adjusts itself to the introduction of new words, like "internet" and "website," but when did it become acceptable to pronounce the "t" in "often"?

The entire list
Çay TV, July 23- 2008
Adnan Oktar: Everybody considers the European Union to be very reasonable. They think that the Mediterranean Union is very reasonable, but not the union of our Turkic brothers. Let's consider that if, may Allah forbid, Konya, Erzurum, Izmir were separate from us and we say that we have to unite since we are brothers, that would be a very reasonable thing to do.
Çay TV: It is just that normal you say.
Adnan Oktar: Just that normal. Our religion is one, our language is one, everything about us is one, we are from the same roots, we are brothers but we are separate. If said to Azerbaijan "let's unite", they don't think for one day, they accept it. This has to be just proposed in an officially. We could easily unite as two states and one nation. There is no obstacle. This holds true for Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Turkmenistan, East Turkestan; they would all be very comfortable as a result of this union, just like the whole Muslim community, like Iraq and Syria… THEY LOOK FORWARD TO UNITE WITH TURKEY. The only matter if for Turkey to put this forward, to give a name to it. Only a demand for it should be sufficient.
The Guardian, October 1- 2009
Visa liberation agreement between Syria and Turkey was signed fifteen days ago. President of Syria, Bashir Esad declared Turkey as the closest friend of Syria while Prime Minister of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan addressed the Syrian people as "my brothers and sisters."
