Google Buys Israel's SlickLogin
Google has acquired the Israeli startup SlickLogin, an apparent bet on a new way to more securely log into computer systems.
Launched just a few months ago by veterans of the Israeli Defense Force's cybersecurity unit, SlickLogin had been working on a type of authentication technology using high-frequency pitches emitted by a computer.
SlickLogin announced the deal in a short statement on its website, stating that Google "shares our core beliefs that logging in should be easy instead of frustrating, and authentication should be effective without getting in the way."
The technology works by placing a smartphone next to a tablet or laptop emitting a unique sound that is inaudible to humans. The smartphone registers the pitch, relaying to the website's security systems that the right user is seeking to log in. Such technology can be used as a secondary authentication method, similar to the widely used SecurID tokens from EMC's RSA Security unit that generate random numbers that users enter as part of the log-in process.
Google has been a leader in so-called "two-factor authentication." When users of its Gmail service seek to log in from a computer Google doesn't recognize as their own, for instance, then those that have set up the extra security are prompted to enter a 6 digit code that is sent to their smartphones. That is, after entering the correct username and password as they normally would.
Adding a second authentication step make it harder for hackers to break into someone's account–similar to the way bank ATM networks require something users have, a card, plus something they know, a PIN number.
The acquisition of SlickLogin is the latest demonstration of Google's interest in improving authentication technology. Last year it joined the board of directors of the FIDO Alliance, a non-profit organization that hopes to reduce reliance on passwords for authentication.

The resources below will help you be a good neighbor and make the most of your off campus living experience. Signing ALease?Be A GoodNeighborImportantContactsMaking ItWorkPetPeeves Tips for Signing a Lease Important: Read the fine print and be aware of what the landlord expects of you. Accuracy: Make sure the lease accurately reflects the terms and dates of the lease as agreed upon by you and your landlord. It is also helpful to know what happens once the lease is up. Be sure to know if you have the option to renew, or does the lease change to a month-by-month agreement? Along the same lines, know what the lease says about termination. What events give the landlord the right to evict you, and what events might allow you to get out of your lease early if necessary? Security Deposit: The purpose of the deposit is to ensure that rent is paid on time, and to cover unusual repairs that may be needed when a renter moves out due to damage caused by the renter. Make sure you take pictures of things you didn't do before moving in. Utilities: It is important to know which utilities you are expected to pay for, and to have those utility bills put in your name when you move into a new residence. Monthly Rents: Make sure your lease states the monthly rent amount and what day the rent is due each month. It also important to have a clear understanding of what happens if you pay your rent late and if you are given a grace period for paying. Also, some landlords will put a provision in the lease that provides for automatic rent increases. Renter Insurance: Some leases require a tenant to have renter's insurance, while others do not. Even if your landlord does not require this insurance, it is wise to invest in some insurance for the property in your rented space. Landlords are not responsible for damage or theft of your property and possessions. Maintenance and repairs: Another issue to educate yourself on before signing the lease is maintenance. What repairs or maintenance are you, as the tenant, responsible for? What is the process for requesting maintenance or repairs from your landlord or rental agency? How long can you expect it to take for repairs to be made? You're out on your own and away from family or University authority...but you need to consider some other people now: your new neighbors! Keep in mind that your neighbors may not be fellow college students and they want to keep their neighborhood nice, with your help. Introduce yourself: Become a part of the neighborhood and let your neighbors know they are welcome to talk with you if they have a question or concern. Noise and parties: Remember, most of your neighbors need to get up early to go to work or school, or they may be elderly. Late night parties or loud music won't win you any friends, and it may get you a visit from the police. If you do have a party, let the neighbors know a few days ahead of time, keep it contained in your house, and keep the noise down. Be aware that Denver has a noise ordinance in effect from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., which is enforced by the police. You should also make sure your guests don't take your neighbors' usual parking spaces or leave trash on the streets and in the neighborhood. Trash and yard care: If you are living in a house, it is your responsibility to keep your yard from becoming the neighborhood eyesore. Do not let grass and weeds become unmanageable. The City and County of Denver enforces ordinances regarding unsafe, unsightly or unsanitary conditions. Problems to watch out for include rubbish in yards, rubbish along alley, weeds, accumulation of junk, misuse of City containers and junk cars. Neighborhood parking: Be considerate to your neighbors in sharing street parking. Watch out for street cleaning days to avoid citations. Don't leave your vehicles parked on the street as they can be cited and towed after 72 hours.

Rental agreements: Be sure to get a written rental agreement or lease, even if the arrangement is only month-to-month. The agreement should spell out all the normal features of the rental arrangement, including the services for which tenants and roommates are responsible. Roommates: Make certain everyone who will be living with you signs the rental agreement so you're not left as the only one responsible to the landlord. Work out an agreement on who will handle the billing for phone, utilities, rent, groceries, etc., and who can contribute what (monetary or otherwise) to the house or apartment supplies. Bills: Make sure that everyone shares the bills equally and that no one person is responsible for everything. Phone: Each roommate should have their own plan for phone charges (either cell phone or personal long distance calling card) and separate billing so that one person doesn't get stuck trying to collect an enormous bill and suffer credit problems as a result. Deposits/Damages: Confirm the purpose of any advance deposits are described in writing in the rental agreement. Also, provide the landlord with an inspection report of the premises before moving in so you have a record of problems in case you are charged for them later. Keep a copy of this report for your records and take pictures of any damages. Living off-campus gives you an opportunity to adopt a pet! However, keep the following information in mind: License it! This is a requirement for pet owners in Denver. Have your pet inoculated against disease. Obey leash laws: Don't allow your pet to run loose. Make sure to clean up after your pet! Fence your yard: Don't confine your dog to the end of a chain. Chaining a dog leaves it defenseless if it is threatened and in many places causes the animal to become extremely frustrated and possibly dangerous. Seek professional advice about obedience training. This may be especially helpful if your dog barks. Denver has an ordinance which prohibits persons who either own or keep a dog to permit it to continuously bark, howl or yelp and disturb the neighborhood. This is considered a public nuisance and could result in a fine. Spay or neuter your pet to curb aggressive behavior and eliminate the tragic overpopulation problem. Realize the time commitment that comes with owning a pet.

Healthy Food During Pregnancy
I am glad to be pregnant after trying for two years. I do not want to gain weight during pregnancy at the same time I do not want to deprive my child from essential nutrition. What are the foods, which may seem fatty or calorific to me, but are essential for the proper growth of my child?

Hi Sarah,
I thought I answered this earlier but I don't see the post, so maybe it didn't go through. I apologize for the delay.
Pregnancy is definitely not the time to be restricting calories. You'll want to avoid sugar and white flour products, along with limiting your pasta and white rice intake.
You'll also want to avoid deep fried foods and hydrogenated fats like shortening (and foods that have this in them). But you'll want to be sure you get plenty of the "good fats". This includes avocado, fish that is low in mercury, high quality, organic, butter, and flax seeds or flax oil, cod liver oil, or other oils that offer essential fatty acids.
If you are sure to get at least one big green leafy salad (aim for 2), some high quality animal protein like beef, fish, chicken, turkey, lamb, etc., raw nuts and seeds, legumes (cooked dried beans), a little whole milk cheese, organic eggs, and a limited number of whole grains, you'll be feeding you and your baby a well rounded diet full of lots of nutrients. Just make sure you get enough of the "good fats". That's super important for baby's development and for pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.
Warm Regards,

Stephen says he and Jenna are "so thrilled to be parents," calling it "the best thing that has happened" to them. He adds that his son's birth was "the greatest rush" he's ever experienced.
The singer also praises Jenna, saying she was "awesome, calm and collected" all throughout her labor - during which they "stayed up all night and watched 'SportsCenter' and 'Friends.'"
Stephen adds that he didn't immediately introduce his son to his own music, but that they "listened to Mozart during the delivery."
Jett Barker Liles is here! Congratulations to Stephen and Jenna!!! http://t.co/hI82rMSWao pic.twitter.com/5fdUnU9nYi

Florida Georgia Line ties Brooks & Dunn chart record
Listen to Florida Georgia Line on iHeartRadio | Listen to Brooks & Dunn on iHeartRadio
Florida Georgia Line is matching the chart success of Brooks & Dunn.
Billboard.com says "Stay," the latest single from the new duo, has reached the top spot on the Country Airplay chart. It's Florida Georgia Line's fourth release from their debut album, Here's To The Good Times, and their fourth number one hit following "Round Here," "Get Your Shine On," and "Cruise."
Brooks & Dunn is the only other country duo to see their first four singles rise to the top of the chart, starting with 1991's "Brand New Man." They followed with "My Next Broken Heart," "Neon Moon," and "Boot Scootin' Boogie." Brooks & Dunn's fifth single, "Lost and Found," ended the run, peaking at number six.
Congrats to Florida Georgia Line!

DNA Used to Catch Man Voting Over and Over
(NEWSER) – How convinced may Robert Monroe have been that his vote in the 2012 presidential election mattered? So much so that the Wisconsin man allegedly cast an in-person absentee ballot in Shorewood on Nov. 1 then rented a car and drove some 250 miles to Lebanon, Ind., five days later, using his driver's license from that state (he owns a home there) to do so. And that's not all: When Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker faced a recall vote, Monroe voted five times, per a criminal complaint filed Friday. The 50-year-old has been charged with voter fraud after allegedly voting multiple times in a series of elections, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

By Lesli Nolen
August 2009
I can't believe summer is almost over and here we are in August. Before you know it, school will be back in session, schedules will be busier than ever and yes, Christmas is just around the corner. But this has to be one of the most bitter-sweet months for me.
Five years ago this month, my dad passed away. He had lung cancer and fought the battle as long as he could. I was very blessed to be able to spend that last week with him and be able to do and say all that I thought I would have years to do. At the time, Skylar, our daughter, was 3 years old. She was Grumpy's (that is what the grandchildren called him) little girl. They had a special bond and that bond is still with her today. She can remember sitting in my dad's lap talking about everything or nothing at all and being a big helper with the hospice nurse who was there taking care of him. My dad told Skylar he would always be there watching her and that she could take him with her wherever she went. She didn't really know what that meant at the time, but believed deep down she knew she could. I didn't know how either—I just knew there was something special there and that only God could make that happen. And He did.
A couple months after dad passed away, we were outside on our back porch and Skylar looked up at the moon. It was so full and bright and seemed so close that if we reached our hand out far enough we could touch it. She looked at it and said, "Look, mommy, there's Grumpy. He is watching over me!" My heart exploded with all sorts of emotions. I stopped and looked up at the moon and there it was, "the man in the moon. He had done it. We had received our special something our connection with Grumpy that would be with us—something that Skylar could carry with her wherever she went. Today, Skylar, now 8, and I still look at the moon, talk to the man in the moon, and take him with us wherever we go.
If we had not suffered this loss, if all of this hadn't of happened, I don't know that we would have discovered our new love for the night sky. Through the years, as Skylar has gotten older, her curiosity about the moon and stars has grown. When she turned 5 years old, we got her a telescope. I think I wanted it just as much as she did. We began spending our nights looking at the moon and then just picking out a star and looking at it through the telescope. I'm still amazed at what our Creator created. The more and more we looked at the stars the more I became fascinated with it all and wanted to know more.
It was about this time of year when I started researching the stars. I wanted to know more about them and teach Skylar something about them. And to my amazement not all those big bright stars were stars. The brightest star in the southwest that I was so fascinated with was actually the planet Jupiter. I would look at it and think, wow, that star is so bright. Then I would look at it through the telescope and I could also see at least six little "stars" around it. So back to researching I went. I found that Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun, it is the largest within our solar system and it has 63 confirmed moons. I was looking at Jupiter and its six main moons! How cool is that?! After that I was hooked.
Our sky adventures led us to the planetarium at Angelo State University. It is one of the largest in Texas with a 50 foot dome, seating for 110 and a three dimensional view of the universe. On Thursday nights they present a story in the theater and then afterward they bring out the telescopes and allow viewing of the night sky. They answer questions, show you the different stars (constellations) and planets. The last time we were there we were able to view Saturn. Saturn is an amazing planet in itself. It is usually visible to us during the spring. It is like Jupiter in it being a giant gas planet. It also has several moons and it is known for its ring. Which is visible with the telescopes. Once again, I'm humbled at the making of our universe.
We have shared our new love of the night sky with our friends and family and I hope you don't mind my sharing some of this with you in the months to come—I will remind you of what is visibile in the night sky. Right now (August 10, 2009; 10 p.m.) Pluto, Jupiter and Neptune are in the west-southwest. Saturn is in the far east. On September 10, 2009, 10 p.m., Jupiter and Neptune will be a little more south and west and Uranus due west. By October Jupiter will be due south and will be the brightest "star" in the sky. I have really enjoyed learning about the planets and stars and finding out our view of the constellations changes with the seasons.
There is a constellation named Andromeda—a fall and winter constellation. I purchased a star certificate to name a star there after Skylar when she was 5. I wanted to put a little part of her up there with Grumpy too.

New York City -- A late Thursday report by Bloomberg revealed that Border Group's planned sale of its intellectual property to Barnes & Noble was delayed due to questions regarding customer privacy.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn, Manhattan, asked that privacy rights for 48 million customers be clarified. He adjourned the Thursday sale-approval hearing in order to explore a privacy expert's claims that how Barnes & Noble used the acquired rights could violate customer privacy.
Barnes & Noble won the auction to buy most of the trademarks and intellectual property of Borders for $13.9 million. Other trademark assets also were sold, making the sale worth $15.8 million to Borders' creditors.
"Does Borders have the ability to e-mail blast to all customers in its database, essentially giving them the right to opt out of any sale or transfer?" Glenn asked lawyers for Borders in court on Thursday.
Border's lawyers said they hadn't considered the option. The hearing to approve the sale has been rescheduled for Sept. 26.
Privacy expert Michael St. Patrick Baxter filed a report with the court, saying that the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection and New York Attorney General's office, on behalf of the attorneys general of 25 states, expressed concern about the way the sale would transfer personal information. Baxter recommended that Barnes & Noble adhere to certain standards, including honoring an "opt-out" request from consumers who previously opted out of receiving marketing messages from Borders.

Charles homers as Canadians clinch
Vancouver sweeps Everett, books place in NWL championship
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | September 4, 2012 11:32 PM ET
Now that combination of strong pitching, productive hitting and timely defense will see them advance to the Finals for a chance to repeat as Northwest League champions.
Cleanup hitter Art Charles slugged a three-run homer, starting pitcher Taylor Cole allowed an unearned run over six innings and the defense turned a series of big plays in the field in the Canadians' 7-4 win over the Everett AquaSox on Tuesday.
The victory gave the Toronto affiliate a 2-0 series sweep of the best-of-3 semifinals.
It also provides the team an extra day of rest before their showdown with the Yakima Bears or Boise Hawks, who will play Game 3 on Wednesday in the other division series, for the Northwest League crown.
On Tuesday, the Canadians got off to the perfect start. Kellen Sweeney drew a one-out walk in the first inning, following batter Balbino Fuenmayor singled to left field and 21-year-old designated hitter Charles cleared the scoreboard in right-center field to give the visitors a lead they would never relinquish.
Vancouver added two more runs in the second and tacked on another pair in the seventh in response to Janelfry Zorrilla RBI single in the fourth frame, which had cut the lead to 5-1.
Everett closed the gap on Michael Faulkner's two-run, two-out triple in the seventh, but the Canadians held on to secure the sweep.
Charles, selected by the Blue Jays in the 20th round of the 2010 Draft out of Bakersfield Junior College, was backed by strong performances from his teammates in all areas of the field.
No. 9 hitter Jorge Flores was 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI, and catcher Tucker Frawley -- who bats before him in the lineup -- reached base safely three times and scored twice. In total, the Canadians drew eight walks from Everett pitchers.
On defense, center fielder Ian Parmley doubled off Marcus Littlewood from second base, Dwight Smith nailed Herbert trying to stretch a single to left field into a double and second baseman Lopes started a 4-6-3 double play in the triumph.
The Canadians will host Game 1 of the Finals on Thursday.
In other Northwest League action:
Boise 11, Yakima 5
Right fielder Stephen Bruno went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and Jeimer Candelario broke a 4-4 tie with a two-run triple in the ninth inning as Boise rallied to beat Yakima to keep its season alive.
The Hawks trailed, 4-3, going into the eighth inning of their must-win Game 2 in the Northwest League semifinal. But Albert Almora -- who finished a homer shy of the cycle -- legged out a two-out three-bagger and scored the tying run on Will Locante's wild pitch. The Hawks ensured there would be a decisive Game 3, plating seven runs and sending 12 men to bat in the ninth.
Yakima shortstop Kevin Modrano went 3-for-4 with two RBIs, and his double-play partner Josh Parr collected three more hits in the losing effort. Box score

High CO2 made for giant snake based on new fossil find according to reports in EurekAlert and BBC News 4 Feb 2009, and Nature, vol. 457, p715, 5 Feb 2009. A team of scientists led by Jason Head (University of Toronto at Mississauga, Canada), have found fossilised bones of a giant snake in the Cerrejon Formation of northeastern Columbia, dated at 58-60 million years old. Labelled Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the fossil has "a body length of 13m (42.7ft) and a mass of 1,135kg (2,500lb), making it the largest known snake." Researchers estimated the size and weight of the snake by comparing its vertebral bones with bones from present day snakes of known size and weight. The longest living snakes are reticulated pythons, known to grow to 10m (32ft), and the heaviest known snakes are Green Anacondas, which can weigh up to 250kg (550lbs)
There is much speculation about how a snake could grow this large. Head's team suggest it was because the snake lived in the "hot Paleocene neotropics with high concentrations of atmospheric CO2". David Polly, one the researchers, told the BBC "A snake living in the tropics would have been operating at a much higher metabolic rate. So snakes had the opportunity to evolve and grow as big as this one did in a way that they probably wouldn't today." He also suggested that as the earth gets warmer cold blood animals could be expected to evolve larger bodies. Other scientists are not so quick to make the link with global warming. Matthew Huber, a climatologist from Purdue University, Indiana, questioned whether the link between size and temperature was "generalisable and accurate". He went on to say: "Head and colleagues' findings are the result of probably the first study in 'snake palaeothermometry', and as such must be viewed with caution."
The EurekAlert article ends with this summary of giant animals: "Evolution has produced a wide variety of gigantic animals over the last several hundred million years - dinosaurs, ancient dragonflies, and today's blue whale, to name a few; but why some species lineages produce monsters remains a matter of debate among evolutionary biologists and ecologists."
Editorial Comment: Like most reptiles, snakes are capable of growing throughout their lives, provided they are free of disease and stress, have sufficient nutritious food, and live in a warm environment without extremes of temperature. Where would you get such a perfect environment? In the original "very good" world created by God, where even after Adam's rebellion, yet prior to Noah's flood, human beings lived for very long times (see Genesis 5), so it is reasonable to suppose that animals could also have had long life spans. This meant any animals capable of growing throughout their lives had plenty of time to grow very large. Instead of being the hottest snake, this fossil may have been the longest lived snake ever found. The fact that extra CO2 has been suggested is just a plus and a reminder that CO2 is not the hazard politician's claim. (Ref. herpetology, serpents, giants)

It's not that it doesn't work it's that it probably doesn't meet the benchmarks eating up so much memory plus if they make every device backward compatible there's no reason. Didn't you notice every time they come out with something new it's "the best "x" we've ever made ?
Is there a cydia tweak that will allow me to watch the YouTube links that are posted on this site from my phone
Exactly. They want everyone to go with the flow. If it worked on the iPad1. Would people ever buy an iPad 2 or 3? No cause there happy but if you make certain things for certain devices. They want everyone to upgrade with technology.
Same thing with age. If someone shows you a picture of yourself, it's always going to be a picture of yourself when you were younger. You can't take a picture of someone when they're older and show it to them.
interesting ... as if we don't have choices ...
If you already know how to do that, grab this:
Nothing much on there explaining what it does or how it works,
but it's a MobibleSubstrate extension unfortunately not just a plist edit :/
iT0ny found a similar toggle for Turn-by-Turn navigation, that he says "should work" on iP4,
but doesn't seem to do anything.
But yeah, they now that they have a repo set up, it's probably the better wayУчитывая тот факт, что Cydia пока не работает на iOS 6 и не устанавливается после джейлбрейка iOS 6 для разработчиков, мы приготовили две инструкции по установке твика без использования Cydia. Первым делом вам нужно скачать Deb файл ( ссылка ):
(instead of taking "Первым делом вам нужно" literally).
Apple software is starting to become a joke. What's next? Limiting software for MacBooks? Many things have possible because of the jailbreak community. FaceTime over 3G has been out for years. Apple just releasing it to ios6 and only 4S? No turn by turn for maps on iPhone 4? There's turn by turn for third party apps that run perfect but apple rather keep it from the users. Siri even works perfect on the iPhone 4. If it wasnt for the jailbreak community I would have left my iPhone a long time ago
In a sense I wouldn't scratch the whole maps idea just because my old devices can't use them but my good ones can
The first ports of Siri where not great but as more people found ways to make it work now you see it work just like the iPhone 4s!
Got this to work on my iPod Touch 4th Gen!

BIG BEAR -- Authorities are seeking help from the public in their efforts to find a woman who has been missing since Tuesday.
Karen Dalman, 59 of Big Bear, was hiking with a friend, Bruce Jackson, in the area of Crystal Mountain Tuesday morning when his dog ran off.
Dalman and Jackson were separated after the dog got away and was running in the area, authorities said.
"No foul play is suspected at this time," said sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman.
The two were hiking near the Eye of God on fire access road 2N02.
Shortly before 7:00 a.m. Thursday, Jackson called 9-1-1 and reported Dalman missing.
He told authorities he had been lost in the area since Tuesday after not being able to find his dog.
Jackson said that he had made his way back to the vehicle Thursday morning and returned to his home in Erwin Lake, but was unable to find either her or his dog.
San Bernardino County fire was called to Jackson's home where he was treated for dehydration.
Deputies began searching the surrounding area.
Since 9:00 a.m. today, search efforts have expanded to consist of a command post with 3 teams of Search & Rescue members on foot, 2 teams of Posse members on horseback, and Sheriff's aviation conducting aerial searches.
Karen Dalman is a white female adult, 5-foot 2-inches tall, 125 pounds, with blond hair and hazel eyes.
Authorities said she was last seen wearing a light colored top, tan capri pants and sneakers.
Dalman is reported to have medical issues and difficulties walking.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Karen Dalman is requested to contact the Big Bear Sheriff's Station at 909-866-0100.

Hi, I recently tried to use BT5 on my net-book at a local cafe.
My computer connected fine to the cafe's wifi.
Next I opened and connected to my VPN
Then started Virtual Box/BT5
It loaded then an error msg appeared in BT5 saying:
"The panel encountered a problem while loading 'OAFIID:GNOME_ClockApplet" Do you want to delete applet from your configuration?"
I chose the option 'don't delete'
I noticed there seemed to be no connection in BT5, the connect icon (top right of the screen was missing)
So I am wondering what explains the failure to connect BT5 to the wireless connection/internet?
Do I need an external usb network adapter, or can the internal network adapter on my host pc work to connect BT5 to a wireless connection?
Hope someone may be able to help me out on this, docstrange

Early American Patriots and Occupiers share common ground
By Evan Harmon
"We are one." "Join us!" "We are the 99%." The rhetoric of Occupier signs bears a fascinating resemblance to the rhetoric of the American Revolution. Whereas the rallying cries during the Revolution focused on a government out of touch with the people it governed, economic policies that irked its citizens, and unequal representation, the Occupy Movement is focused on … well … pretty much the same thing.
"United we stand, divided we fall." "E pluribus unum." These slogans of the American Revolution would fit just as well on a sign at an Occupy rally or on a Facebook Wall as they did on political pamphlets and newspapers during the Revolution. In fact, calls for "separation of corporation and state" today are a deliberate reference to the historical doctrine of "separation of church and state."
But the parallels do not end with the similarity in the words themselves. Both movements were made possible by the arrival of a new medium that gave a person's words much greater power. Whereas the American Revolution was enabled by a recently unchained, independent ecosystem of local printing presses creating newspapers and pamphlets that allowed people to exchange information with like-minded people, the Occupy Movement accomplished the same thing to an unprecedented degree via the Internet, Twitter, and Facebook.
In 1754, New England had only four newspapers. By 1775, seventy-eight different newspapers had been published in the British American continental colonies. This meteoric increase in the access to information disrupted the equilibrium of power between citizens and their government. The printed distribution of newspapers and pamphlets, as well as justifications for independence like Thomas Paine's Common Sense, created a fabric upon which common sentiment, lively debates, new ideas, and methods of organizing could cohere to form a powerful threat to the British government.
Today, the power relationship between citizens and their government has been similarly disrupted by the Internet and social media. In Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia, the sharing of common ideas under the noses of oppressive regimes has resulted in revolutionary change. With the Occupy Movement, governments continue to struggle with the growing power of increasingly-connected, internet-savvy occupiers.
Perhaps the most important similarity between the American Revolution and the Occupy Movement is economic. Governments face only a limited number of consequences by ignoring the voice of the people. But when a certain number of people are confronted with the cold, hard reality of being unable to put food on their family's table, the powers that be have to contend with not only a disgruntled citizenry, but the desperation of people that have no other recourse than to occupy the streets. This is the political reality that all governments face, whether the right to revolution is enshrined in a country's constitution or not.
And while the similarities between the movements are many, one clear difference is that because of the success of the American Revolution, the Constitution now provides a bloodless way to adapt the government to the will of the people via amendments. However, American history has shown time and again that the most worthwhile changes have occurred because the American people were willing to do more for the advancement of a cause than just vote. The Occupy Movement continues this American tradition of political change by occupying the middle-ground between taking to the polls and taking up arms.

AMES, Iowa — An Iowa State University research team has developed new measurement tools to detect malnutrition in older adults. On Monday, Dec. 17, the Iowa State researchers will be conducting free nutritional screenings at Heartland Senior Services, 205 South Walnut Ave. in Ames, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Appointments are preferred.
Adults age 65 years or older, and who speak English, are eligible to participate in the screenings, said Sarah Francis, an Iowa State University assistant professor and ISU Extension and Outreach nutrition specialist.
To schedule an appointment, contact Francis at email@example.com or 515-294-1456. All participants will receive the Healthy and Homemade cookbook, an ISU Extension and Outreach publication, for their time.
Malnutrition affects a large proportion of the older adult population. The National Resource Center on Nutrition, Physical Activity and Aging reports that among older adults who live on their own, one in four is estimated to suffer from malnutrition. In addition, between 35 to 50 percent of older adults living in long-term care facilities are malnourished.
"Data show that malnourished older adults typically have hospital stays twice the length of well-nourished older adults, with these visits costing between $2,000 and $10,000 more. They often experience more hospital readmissions, as well," Francis said. "Malnutrition can lead to reduced quality of life and loss of independence if left untreated, because of adverse health effects such as weight loss, diminished strength, reduced immunity, disorientation and confusion."
Numerous nutrition assessment tools detect malnutrition in older adults, but the Mini Nutritional Assessment is considered the "gold standard" of nutritional assessment, because of its accuracy in determining nutritional risk, Francis explained. "The MNA is designed to be used with adults age 65 and older. The assessment asks questions about your general and self-perceived health and dietary practices. It also requires measuring the size of your arm and calf, using measuring tapes."
Iowa State's new measurement tools are used with the MNA. The Viva Gauge tools have been designed to help in measuring the size of the arm and calf, an important part of screening for nutritional risk, Francis said.
"We are conducting the free screenings to ensure that our new measurement tools are just as accurate as traditional measuring techniques," Francis said.
Participants will be asked to complete the MNA screening process. They will need to answer questions about their general and self-perceived health and dietary practices, and self-report their height and weight. Actual height will be measured with a stadiometer and weight will be measured with a digital scale. Participants' arm and calf measurements will be taken using the Viva Gauge tools as well as the traditional measuring tape. Participants also will complete a questionnaire about the screening experience. The entire process requires about a 15 to 20 minute, one-time visit.
"If you are identified as at risk for malnutrition or malnourished the research team will mail you additional information about how to reduce your nutritional risk," Francis said.

In class the other day we were talking about 5 conditions that surround female repression. Because it's an Anthropology course, our prof was talking about female repression in other cultures. As she explained the 5 conditions, though, I was struck by the fact that every single one of them is a problem in our culture as well... and that worries me. Being female n'all.
Do you feel repressed? I don't most of the time, as long as I don't think about it too much. I prefer to stick my head under my wing, utter an "ah-wahwahwahwah," and go to sleep in my big comfy nest... just like Big Bird on Sesame St. But here's the thing: I've been taking classes in feminist psychology and in gender studies so it's been think about it or fail. And thinking about it has opened my eyes a bit. Things are not as good for women in our society as they should be.
My conclusion? To quote Monty Python: "Come see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"
"Oh, King, eh? Very nice. And how d'you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society."
Honestly... there's a Monty Python quote for everything.
Anyway. Where was I? Right. The 5 conditions that surround female repression.
1. Exploitation. Much of the work that women do is marginalized and unpaid. The work women do at home, supporting our families and raising our children, is not considered "real" work by society. It's not as bad as it used to be. Women today have more choices, we're no longer expected to be working in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. And men are stepping up to the plate more and more to help out around the house.
That being said, women still do the majority of the work at home. Many women work a double day - a full time "real" job outside the home and then full time childrearing/housework in the evenings. According to a Ohio State University Fact sheet, Families Meeting the Challenge:
Of course, women's work is exploited in the "real" work world too. I know you've heard about the wage gap. When women do decide to work outside the home, they only earn a percentage of what men, working in the same job at the same level, earn. According to The Wage Gap: A History of Pay Inequity and the Equal Pay Act by Borgna Brunner, "In 2005, for example, women under 25 working full-time earned 93.2% of men's salaries compared to those 25 and older, who earned 79.4% of what men made."
The participation of women in the paid labor force has increased steadily in recent years. While women take on additional responsibilities away from home, their household duties often remain the same. According to a research report by Walker and Woods in "Time use: A measure of household production of family goods and services," women in the labor force average 76 hours in total weekly work, which includes 33 hours dedicated to household tasks. The time requirements of household and paid work are complicated and often conflicting. The term "double day" has been used to describe the dual work responsibilities that many women have.
Although the amount of domestic work performed by men has increased, women still carry the primary burden of household chores. In The Gender Factory: The Apportionment of Work in American Households, author Sarah Berk indicated that husbands' contributions to domestic work are typically small, and the total time estimates of husbands' household work hours range from 10 to 15 hours a week."
2. Powerlessness - In my Women and Mental Health class we talked about how women are socialized in our society. According to Dictionary.com, socialization is a continuing process whereby an individual acquires a personal identity and learns the norms, values, behavior, and social skills appropriate to his or her social position (I would add "in his or her culture" to the end).
Have you read Reviving Ophelia by Mary Pipher? She is a clinical psychologist who has worked with adolescent girls for over twenty years. Pipher tells how our society's socialization process for women crushes the identity of girls during adolescence. I wanted to quote from the book, but it's packed away for the move, so here's a description I found at ReadingGroupGuides.com:
Despite the advances of feminism, escalating levels of sexism and violence--from undervalued intelligence to sexual harassment in elementary school--cause girls to stifle their creative spirit and natural impulses, which, ultimately, destroys their self-esteem. Yet girls often blame themselves or their families for this "problem with no name" instead of looking at the world around them.Here's a video that features Mary Pipher talking about one aspect of the book - the messages that teenage girls receive from the media:
I also like the Dove ad, Onslaught, which I think sums things up nicely:
3. Cultural Imperialism. Cultural Imperialism, according to my class notes, is when stereotypes are drawn from an elite class in society and then are used as the standard against which all women are measured.
I would argue that, in our society, the elite class against which all women are measured is: our celebrities. Why else the fascination with how quickly Posh and J-Lo fit back into their skinny jeans after popping out their kids? (Or did they have them surgically removed?) What kind of stroller does Violet Affleck have? Don't you want one too? What's stylish little Maddox Jolie-Pitt wearing? Are your kids as well decked-out? Do you "keep house" as well as Martha Stewart? Anyway... you know what I mean, right? It's a lot for the rest of us to live up to. It's hard to look away, though, isn't it? I mean, they're all so shiny.
4. Marginalization. I've already talked about how women's work is marginalized. Women's issues are also marginalized in our culture. An example: The history of psychology. According to the classes I've taken, most of the tests that psychologists did in the past - the tests that make up the bulk of the ideas on which they base their understanding of human behaviour - were done on men. It was assumed that what was true for men would also be true for women. So, according to my Women and Mental Health class, this has led to a kind of pathologicalization of the behaviour of women. So that, in psychology, normal behaviour is male behaviour. Females don't behave like males, therefore females are not normal. See what I mean? They're working to remedy this, but to my mind, they're not working fast enough.
5. Threat of violence and/or real violence. According to a 2006 Stats Canada study, "Violence against women is a persistent and ongoing problem in Canada and around the world. It affects women's social and economic equality, physical and mental health, well-being and economic security." Women are far more likely to be victims of violence than men. We live in fear a lot of the time. How do you feel at night walking alone, say across a dark parking lot to get to your car? Do you feel safe? Do men in the same situation feel as vulnerable?
I don't think that the repression of women in our society is the fault of men. I don't think it's some kind of evil master plan to keep us down. I think it stems from complacency, a kind of "things are better for women than they used to be and we can all relax now" attitude. I think we need to question our underlying assumptions about what it means to be a woman in our society. Keep thinking, keep standing up for equality between the genders (and for everyone - it's not just women - socioeconomic differences, sexual orientation, ethnic background - these are all factors that contribute to the repression of certain groups in our society), keep speaking up. An avalanche of tiny changes in how we think will do more to remedy this than one big change in government policy ever could.
I am a feminist. But it's not all about bra burning and man hating. It's more about pulling my head out from under my wing, climbing down from my big comfy nest, and taking a good look around.

The second generation X3 added style and new features to the BMW's mid-sized SUV. Talk about the BMW F25 X3 with other X3 owners now!

BMW ends X3 (E83) production in Austria and begins X3 (F25) production in Spartanburg
BMW favors a smooth transition when carrying out a generation change. The end of production of the first generation of the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) was celebrated at the plant of the Austrian production partner Magna Steyr in Graz yesterday. Production of the new BMW X3, which will be launched on the German market on 20 November 2010, will begin today at the BMW Spartanburg plant in the US state of South Carolina. The new BMW X3 is a resolute continuation of the formula for success of the first SAV in its class. With further enhanced agility, noticeably optimized driving comfort, more space than any of its competitors and innovative equipment options, it offers the ideal prerequisites to inherit the position of its predecessor as the benchmark in the segment and to strengthen it further. Within the last 7 years, the first-generation BMW X3 has written an extraordinary success story. In Graz alone, 605,498 units of the agile all-rounder came off the assembly line during this period. Together with the vehicles produced within the framework of the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) assembly in Russia, Egypt and Thailand, the total figure adds up to 614,824 units. The last vehicle of the first model generation, a Vermilion red metallic BMW X3 xDrive35d, will remain with the Magna Steyr company, where it will be used in future as an executive car. A BMW X3 xDrive20d with full emergency vehicle specifications that had left the assembly line shortly before, will be donated by the BMW Group to a non-profit making organization. For many years now, the BMW X3 has proved itself to be an ideal emergency vehicle for police and doctors. At the end of its model life, yet another vehicle will now take on this important task in the service of the general public.
As the first and, for some time, the only premium vehicle of its kind, the BMW X3 launched in 2004 and boasting intelligent four-wheel drive BMW xDrive, outstanding handling characteristics and a variable interior, gave reason for spontaneous enthusiasm and a lasting positive response on the international automotive markets. As a result, the concept of establishing benchmarks in the field of driving dynamics within the competitive environment of all-terrain vehicles, which had previously already been successfully pursued in the case of the BMW X5 in a higher segment, was endorsed yet again.
Driving pleasure, premium quality and, in addition, outstanding efficiency helped the BMW X3 become extremely popular and achieve excellent results in independent surveys. Experts have honoured the BMW X3 with several awards for outstanding safety, customer satisfaction, reliability and stable value. These included top rankings in the "Customer Satisfaction Index" (CSI) issued by the J.D. Power market research institute, as well as in the breakdown statistics kept by the Allgemeine Deutsche Automobilclub (ADAC). Twice in succession, the BMW X3 was voted both "Four-Wheel Drive Car of the Year" and "Off Road Vehicle of the Year" respectively by readers of the magazines "Auto Bild Allrad" and "Off Road".
The segment established by the first-generation BMW X3 is now also served by other premium vehicle manufacturers. The new BMW X3 faces up to intensified competition with consistently optimised qualities in all relevant disciplines. The engines on offer for this Sports Activity Vehicle boast the best performance and, thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics, the most favourable fuel consumption and emission levels as well. The vehicle's entirely newly developed suspension technology facilitates a clear advantage both in terms of agility and driving comfort. With a loading capacity that can be increased from 550 to 1,600 litres and 40 : 20 : 40 split-folding rear seat backrests, the new BMW X3 offers the largest amount of space and at the same time the highest level of variability in its segment. Moreover, there is a choice of innovative equipment features, driver assistance systems and mobility services by BMW ConnectedDrive that is unique within the competitive environment. For example, the new BMW X3 is the only model in its class to offer the options of a Head-Up Display and Internet access inside the vehicle.
With the model change, the production of the BMW X3 is being relocated to the BMW Spartanburg plant, a facility that has become the expertise center for BMW X models. So far, the US American location of the BMW Group's global production network has produced BMW X5 and BMW X6 models. Thanks to substantial extension work and with an investment of around $750 million, the prerequisites for the production of the new BMW X3 and the associated increase in the annual production capacity to around 200,000 vehicles have been created at Spartanburg.
The collaboration between the BMW Group and Magna Steyr also lives on within the framework of the new production structures. In the meantime, production of the MINI Countryman has started in Graz. The fourth model of the brand is not only the first MINI to feature four doors and a large tailgate, but can for the first time also be fitted with four-wheel drive technology. In this way, the Austrian production partner's expertise in the field of all-terrain vehicles, which has already been demonstrated in the case of the BMW X3, continues to be comprehensively utilized.
Read more news about the new F25 BMW X3
Just the facts, please. PR hype not needed.
Great article! One to keep accessible for the internet community to read for many years to come. Of particular interest is the number of X3s assembled in Russia, Thailand, and Egypt.
Interesting about the CKD assembly. Didn't know that before. Looking at the comparo pix the new one sure looks like the "old" X5 to me.
Spartanburg? Uh...oh!!!
2015 Alpine White 228i Coupe ("El Chapo") with Sport Line, Premium Package, Black Dakota Leather, FineLine Stream Wood Trim, Lighting Package, Driver Assistance Package and Track Handling Package and those wonderful non-runflat Michelin Pilot Super Sport Summer Tires.
Don't knock Spartanburg unless you've toured the factory and found fault with BMW production practices.
2007 E92 328i 6MT-Space Gray/Black Dakota/Gray Poplar w/heated seats-PCD 4/27/07 (RETIRED)
2009 E90 328i xDrive 6AT-Space Gray/Oyster Dakota/Dark Burl Walnut w/ZPP,ZCW,Xenons-ED 4/17/09 - Redelivery 5/30/09 (RETIRED)
2014 E84 xDrive28i 8AT-Alpine White/Black Nevada/Silver Matte w/ZMV,ZLP,494 - DD 3/14/14
It's kind a bit of sad news. The Graz factory produced good quality X3s and the X3 has historically scored awards for build quality in Europe. It'll be interesting to see how things turn out in Spartanburg.
Hopefully, better than my dad's 2010 X5.
The thing that would concern me is the fact that BMW is building a new model, on a new factory line (for the X3), with new workers (who have not worked on the X3 before). Historically with all marques (Mercedes, Nissan, VW, Hyundai and yes BMW) that have shifted production like this problems with the first (and second, and even third) year build have manifested themselves. Eventually this gets sorted out but who wants to be the Beta Tester?

Anyone notice they put a stripped down older model in comparison to an upgraded newer one?
Different tires/wheels, headlights, etc...
2013 S4 Loaded (and NO RFT's) Awesome is an understatement
2008 MT X3 RIP you were a faithful sidekick and will be missed.
2000 Jeep Cherokee

1984 GTI Wolfsburg Edition Neuspeed and more
The black E83 in the picture isn't really stripped down. It's probably an xDrive20d model but has upgrades like PDC, 17" Style 204 wheels, the partition cargo net, rear privacy glass, rain sensor and automatic headlights, and roof rails at minimum.

There's other things that aren't really faults or defects, but just a matter of design and engineering. The interior dash panels don't look very well-fitted or line up particularly evenly. The suspension is way too soft; the car bobs forward and backward every time one taps the brakes or accelerates lightly due to the massive weight shift. It just doesn't work on single-lane roads and the steering is more numb than ever. The power delivery isn't very linear (I will attribute this to a lower-than-minimum recommended cetane level in US diesel fuel).
The Nevada leather feels like vinyl especially on the door panels. The standard seats are uncomfortable no matter how I adjust them. The stereo is woeful and although I know it's the base system and don't expect a lot, I can't get the equaliser to adjust the way I want- the highs are too sharp and piercing, yet the overall sound is muddy. The instrument cluster centre display is too dim, and I wish the green indicator lights weren't at the very sides of the cluster.
When I worked at a dealership 2 years ago, part of my job was to drive all the cars up to the front and photograph them. Out of all the models I drove, the X5 was my least favourite. It simply felt big, cheap, and uninspired. Complete opposite of the 5er or 7er. But I don't often live at home and don't really drive his car much, so it's not like I really mind too much. (Until I go home and he insists that I drive it to the store)

Ouch! It definitely strikes me as bulky and lumbering. Certainly not X3 like. The real irony is that there is an M X5. That just seems excessive and contradictory. My 530 is similar to my first X3. Nice,but I want some more goodies. Driving a loaner is always frustrating when it has the goodies.

Lower than minimum cetane fuel is not a problem in all states. The omnipotent CARB in CA for example mandates a cetane level that approximates or exceeds the level in "premium" diesel and that is all that can be sold as "automotive" (includes trucks) fuel here. As a practical matter it is the only diesel fuel available.

Now that more and more phones are offering video recording at HD resolutions, with Internet upload abilities built in, the writing would appear to be on the wall for pocket Internet camcorders such as the Bloggie Touch. However, Sony has still managed to give it some features that could lure you away. For a start, the much larger sensor means image quality in low light will be significantly better. But the 360-degree attachment is also unique. This may be an expensive proposition for a pocket Internet camcorder, but it performs the task well, and the wraparound shots add an extra layer of fun.
Whether or not "the writing is on the wall" for low-end video recorders such as the Bloggie Touch, the day that they become redundant is still a few years off (at least) in my mind.
For a tech site that's as photography-oriented as TR, I'd expect you guys to be the last people touting the "HD quality" of the cameraphones. The iPhone, easily the best cameraphone in my eyes, is still far off the budget/mainstream offerings from the major manufacturers in terms of PQ.
Furthermore, this isn't an issue likely to be solved via software or silicon, since it's essentially an optics/sensor size issue. Simply put, we're probably a long ways off until a smartphone maker is willing so make sufficient sacrifices in terms of thickness and overall size to accomodate a decent lens and sensor.
Smartphones will continue to suffice for impromptu documentation of day-to-day events and happenings. But in terms of making record of the special moments in our lives, these types of cameras will continue to offer a superior convenience/price/PQ value proposition.
@Heelo I think that's what I said, wasn't it? ;^>
@Heelo "The iPhone, easily the best cameraphone in my eyes"
Hahaha, Hahaha, that's the funniest thing I've heard all day. Wait, you were being serious?!
I think the key factor why a smartphone won't fully replace a decent digital camera is the optical zoom. Until they can find a way to collapse a lens so that it's paper thin, we're a long way off.
@James - I interpreted your comments to say that these Flip-type devices were reaching twilight in terms of viability as a compelling product in the video camera market due to encroachment by the "HD" resolutions provided by cameraphones. I was merely pointing out that I thought their viability as a product segment will continue for quite some time, mainly due to their significant size/form-factor advantage over even the smallest traditional camcorders and their significant PQ advantage over cameraphones, no matter (and perhaps because of) how many active pixel sensors they're cramming onto the image sensor and the tiny size of the lens. We'll see, I suppose.
(1) Would you mind recommending some alternative (presumably Android) devices with superior camera quality?
(2) These Flip-type devices could conceivably feature optical zooms implemented via the internal prism-type optical zoom featured on almost all digital cameras without expanding zoom lenses (like the Sony T series).
@Heelo, where to start? My Missus has an iphone and she hates the camera on it. She preferred the camera on her old Sony Ericsson (can't remember the model number but the Cybershot branded one). My last 2 Nokia N-series have had far superior cameras to that of the iphone. I haven't tried any of the new breed of smartphones but to say that 4/5 year old phones have better cameras than the iphone kind of wins the argument. I'm not sure you'll find too many people who will argue that the iphone has a great camera. On what am I basing my judgement? Picture quality and functionality, the iphone has no flash and no dedicated camera button, two big negatives for starters.
I'm thinking of buying this for my daughter, but have two concerns: Is the lack of flash an issue for the still photos? also, how easily is it interfaced with a MAC?
@CarmenJ The lack of flash is an issue, but the big sensor means it performs much better in low light than a cameraphone with no flash. There is allegedly software included for Mac, but I didn't have a Mac to hand to test its abilities. Sorry!
Okay - thanks for your input!
@James Morris - Thanks for the great review. I wanted to comment on some things though. You wrote in the very beginning of the review that "Panasonic and Canon have remained aloof" when it comes to pocket internet camcorders. You're right about Canon, and I'm eagerly waiting to see if they announce their own model some time soon. But Panasonic has already released their first model, the HM-TA1, which could be a very interesting alternative at half the price of the Bloggie Touch. It certainly seems like it would be worth a review...=)
While the sensor on the Bloggie Touch is quite large (1/2.5") for a pocket internet camcorder, the Nokia N8 smartphone actually has an even larger sensor (1/1.83"). Like all other higher-end smartphones, the N8 can "only" record 720p video (instead of 1080p like the Bloggie Touch), but it doesn't change the fact that it's sensor is pretty big even in compact camera terms. So it might be quite decent in low light as well.
BTW, could you possibly review the Sony Bloggie HMS-CM5? I think it was released in the beginning of the year, so it might not be "brand new" anymore. But it's one of the very few pocket internet camcorders with an optical zoom (5x), and has otherwise similar specs to the Bloggie Touch (though not the 360-video recording), so it should be a serious competitor since it's cheaper than the new Touch.
@Heelo - Have a look at the Nokia N8. It might not be an Andriod device, but it definitely has the best camera of any cameraphone so far. And not because it has 12Mpix., but because it has the biggest sensor (1/1.83"). On top of that, it also has a Xenon flash, and an HDMI port so that you can connect it to a TV and watch your photos/videos on a bigger screen. The zoom is digital (like on other smartphones), but it zooms with the help of the pixels in the center of the sensor, so that image quality isn't affected as much as with conventional digital zooms.
The nokia n8 is a better camera phone than the iphone 4 hands down and I have both phones. i have no loyalty to any brand and got the iphone for free from my employers but i'm not complaining about the phone
@JK You read my mind! I requested the HM-TA1 just a few days ago!
As for the previous Sony Bloggie, I did request it when it came out but Sony's PR is and pretty much always has been extremely hard work. I was very surprised to get the Bloggie Touch so easily, because many times in the past I've requested review units over and over again to no avail. Not sure what he problem is, because I have no difficulty getting review units from other manufacturers, who realise we're the most popular camcorder review section in the UK.
@James Morris - I'm not exactly sure I'd call it reading your mind, when I was trying to point out something that I felt needed correcting in your review...considering the HM-TA1 was already released a few months back. Which makes the beginning of the review a little odd, since it seems you were already aware of Panasonic's pocket internet camcorder at the time...
But I'm glad you'll be getting the HM-TA1 in for a review soon, and I look forward to reading all about it! =)
I'm sorry to hear that you couldn't get Sony's Bloggie HMS-CM5 in for a review due to "PR problems", I don't suppose there are be other ways of getting your hands on one (maybe from a friendly retailer, or if you know someone who owns one and would be willing to lend it out)? It just looks quite interesting on paper, being from a big name brand and having that 5x optical zoom.
But there might be a couple of interesting alternatives though, namely Samsung's HMX-U20 and Sanyo's VPC-PD1. Both have a 1/2.3" sensor, and both have 3x optical zooms. Maybe you'd have better luck getting your hands on one of them...=)
@JK Quite frequently, vendors put products on sale before they get them out to journalists. We do work with some vendors to get hold of products when this happens - for example, this seems to be the only way to get our hands on Kodak's camcorders. But this isn't always possible, and hasn't been viable most of the time with Sony. Not really sure why, but I've been writing about technology for over 15 years and Sony has been consistently difficult in this respect, which is a shame because Sony's camcorders are usually excellent!
I'm thinking about buying this cam. But I'm currently hesitating between Sanyo Xacti CG100 and this bloggie touch.
It seems that Bloggie has a good image quality, and not too bad in bad lights conditions ( this is important for me because I will oftenly use this cam in party ) but sanyo's one has a flash. More, the bloggie memory is only 8go with no memory slot, is this a problem ? How minutes of film is it ?
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my english
Can I use an external microphone with this product?

Roller digs into the spirit of "Milwaukee Garage Bands"
Published Feb. 18, 2013
Milwaukee has always had a good rock and roll scene. Sure, there have been ups and downs, but the three-chords-and-the-truth spirit has been fueling Brew City garage bands from the days of The Bonnevilles and The Nomads in the 1950s through today. If you don't believe me, check out local musician Peter Roller's new book, "Milwaukee Garage Bands: Generations of Grassroots Rock."

Harrison "Grout" Groutage, a painter who taught hundreds of art students from his professor's perch in Logan and made all of Utah his art studio, died Tuesday, Feb. 5 of kidney failure. He passed away at the Legacy House assisted living center in Logan.
Born April 21, 1925 in Richmond, Groutage first took to art professionally when he painted posters for a Logan movie house. He studied painting at three Utah universities before graduating from Brigham Young University. Hired onto the art department faculty at Utah State University in 1955, he assumed the post of department chair ten years later.
He was remembered by many as the first art professor at USU to insist on using nude models for figurative art classes. But his true legacy was the hundreds of art students who learned from his eye and technique through excursions into the Utah wilderness, and even locales afar as Mexico, where he and his students painted on-site.
"I don't sit down and copy nature," Groutage told The Salt Lake Tribune in a December 2005 article about his work. "I dramatize it. I celebrate it."
Groutage's paintings reside in many collections statewide, including a 126-foot-long mural on the outside of Dixie State College's fine arts building in St. George. In 1998, then-Gov. Mike Leavitt named him Utah Artist of the Year. Many Utah art historians mention Groutage alongside other celebrated 20th-century landscape artists of the West, including LeConte Stewart, George Dibble, Gaell Lindstrom and V. Douglas Snow.
"He had a fantastic sense of adventure and curiosity. He loved fast cars and cameras, which he kept stashed in the car in case he saw a breathtaking scene from the road," said daughter Hilary Groutage, who traveled widely with her father. "Many times, he'd be speeding up and down Utah highways, or terrible roads in Mexico, but always with an eye out for scenes to shoot and take home and paint. He was a total hazard on the road, but he'd do anything for the perfect shot. He saw beauty in everything."
Donna Poulton, curator of art of Utah and the West for the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, said Groutage was considered an eminent artist of the West, and a preeminent artist of Utah. He approached his landscape paintings in terms of mood, as well as terrain.
"I remember talking to him one year ago about a painting he did of Utah Lake, and he could remember the day he painted it quite vividly, from the size of the waves to the wind and color of the sky," Poulton said. "In that way he could really capture not just the land, but its atmosphere. And he did it in all mediums."
Groutage is survived by his wife Iva Lou Groutage, also of Logan. He leaves behind three children, Farol Nelson of Richmond, James Groutage of Pocatello, Idaho and Hilary Groutage of Ona, W. Va., in addition to six grandchildren and five great grandsons.
In memory
Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, at the LDS Church Eighth Ward Chapel, 325 Lauralin Drive, Logan. The family will plan a retrospective show of Groutage's paintings in early June in celebration of his life and art.
Donations may be sent to the Harrison and Iva Lou Groutage scholarship for art students at Utah State University, Office of University Advancement at 1490 Old Main Hill, Logan, Utah, 84322-1490.

dude you haven't learn to surf yet and already complaining about wave size..answer to ur question get a long board or a fun shape board...
Actually... summer is the PERFECT time for you to learn to surf. Would your rather learn in the winter, in your 5 mil, in rifling barrels, falling face first into 40 degree water 50 times a session?
To give you the best answer, we need to know where you live/what beach you'll be learning at, how much time you plan on dedicating to learning, and what your budget is.
I've never heard of a Gary Fisher Quad Fish.
Get a longboard
Shape Your Surfing Experience
i thought gary fisher made mountain bikes. anyway i have a 6'0 for sale you might like, if you decide of shortboard shape. check your inbox messages.
I've got an 8'0 Bushman pintail? I'll give you a good deal on it hell I'm not using it anymore.
any board over 8ft long... don't waste your time with a shortboard if your only gonna surf in the summer. maybe one of the foam boards... you know, the big yellow ones...
i got a 7'4" wrv funshape. pretty good to learn on if your gonna go to a shorty. ill let it go pretty cheap justs sits in my garage anyways. also dont hate on jersey waves do some research youll learn soon enough. pm if your interested in the board.
