Evernote note service hacked – password reset mails worry users
Over the weekend, Evernote, the makers of the cross-platform, synchronised note capture and management system of the same name, found and blocked suspicious activity on the company network. The company has over 50 million users and says the hack was a "coordinated attempt to access secure areas of the Evernote Service", but although it says it has no evidence that Evernote content or payment information was accessed, it does admit that the attackers got hold of usernames, email addresses and passwords.
Further details of the attack, such as how the attackers got access, were not given, though the announcement mentions: "as recent events with other large services have demonstrated, this type of activity is becoming more common", which may suggest that the attack was connected to the watering-hole attack in January where Java 0day exploits were used to gain access to Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Twitter.
Initially, the company required that users sign in to the web site to update their password, with users of its mobile applications being blocked from logging in. It has, though, begun shipping out updates to its mobile device applications to make it possible to respond to the forced password update from the apps.
Although the company feels its hashed and salted passwords are "robust", it issued a password reset to all users of Evernote, sending out email to all users. Unfortunately, the Evernote emails were a potential gift for phishers as the click-through links in the email sent users to "http://links.evernote.mkt5371.com/", rather than directly to Evernote. The address belongs to a company called Silverpop which does email marketing and user tracking, but with an event as major as a system-wide password reset, users need to be able to validate the links they are being sent by the company.
Sending out emails with a throw-away domain in the links doesn't help users adopt secure behaviour as it becomes harder to distinguish between a legitimate email and a phisher's email with the phisher's own throwaway domains. Evernote themselves say "Never click on 'reset password' requests in emails — instead go directly to the service", but then send out mails with the company's domain name linking to a third party service. According to Evernote's Andrew Sinkov, "When we realized that the links were making users uncomfortable, we paused the mailing and stripped them out."
The incident has also brought previous issues with Evernote security to the fore, with some users complaining that Evernote's RC2-based content encryption was chosen for exportability rather than security and that the two-factor authentication that has been promised over the past year has not yet been implemented.

While our pink, blue and yellow safety vests are perfect for just about any other location such as schools, outdoor events, churches, warehouses etc.
We obviously have plenty of sales to female office staff who have to venture out into the warehouse for example but some businesses like the pink colour for visitors to help clearly distinguish them from other staff who may be wearing yellow or orange vests.
The Vests are loose fitting so the size is not critical.

|The town of Portovenere, in Cinque Terre, is a stopover on this self-drive itinerary, which begins and ends in Florence.
By Daryl Grout
Susan and I land in Florence on Saturday morning, October 9, two days after celebrating our 32nd anniversary. Arriving at the Hotel Monna Lisa on the narrow Borgo Pinti, the first thing we notice is the immaculate streetscape—new paving blocks designed to match seamlessly with the water-worn stone of medieval times. After checking into our palatial room in the Renaissance-era mansion, we are soon wandering in a light rain the glistening streets of this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage city center.
We are immediately drawn to the dominant Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore with its iconic Brunelleschi Duomo. Guidebook photographs have only hinted at the splendor of this structure (reinforcing the maxim that travel is a necessary). After circling the neo-gothic exterior, we merge with the tourist flow and find ourselves at the symbolic center of the medieval Italian Renaissance—Piazza della Signoria and the adjacent Loggia dei Lanzi, Palazzo Vecchio, and Galleria degli Uffizi.
|Sabinae Raptae by Giambologna, Loggia dei Lanzi.
Following the path of Lucy from Forster's A Room With a View, we cross the Arno River on the Ponte Vecchio with its famous Corridoio Vasariano (where Medici would travel unseen between Palazzo Vecchio and their Palazzo Pitti residences). Turning right on Borgo San Jacopo, we stumble upon delightful Ristorante Mamma Gina for the first of many delicious meals featuring fresh pasta and the colorful cuisine of Tuscany.
Sunday dawns sunny, prompting us to avoid weekend museum crowds and hike into the hills above town. We arrive first at the Giardino delle Rose, then climb higher to take in the views at San Miniato al Monte with its statuary-filled hilltop cemetery. After strolling a surreal cypress glade, we fall in with an American student out on a day-hike. She persuades us to keep walking past the Torre del Gallo, where we find another amazing meal and spectacular views at Trattoria Omero. Feet aching, we meander along villa-lined lanes to the Forte di Belvedere entrance to vast Giardino di Boboli before stumbling home to an early dinner and a jet-lagged bedtime.
Tuesday is Chianti day. We splurge on a driver, leaving early in a black Mercedes for UNESCO-favorite San Gimignano, famous for its 14 surviving medieval towers. Our driver, Francesco, smartly dressed in tie and Euro-cut jacket, is worth every penny, correcting our pronunciation and filling our heads with information at every stop.
We stop in Castelinna for lunch at the subterranean Via delle Volte, then move on to scenic Radda with wine tastings at Volpaia and Castelvecchi. Dinner at Antinori's Badia di Passignano is a mindfulness moment, best meal of our lives, each course accompanied by amazing Tuscan wine culminating with a sublime Solaia 2012.
Our final day in Florence begins with early reservations at Galleria dell'Accademia to view Michelangelo's David. Afterward, I run excitedly over to Paolo Sacchi Libreria Antiquaria to pick up souvenir books: an 1869 edition of Dante's Divina Commedia—Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso. While Susan attends a cooking class, I tour the Uffizi Gallery enjoying the classics—Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, and Titian's seductive and daring (in 1538) Venus of Urbino.
A Walking Tour of Florence
No trip to a famous city is complete without some flânerie. Here's a walk through the heart of the city that avoids motor traffic and pesky tourist bottlenecks:
Borgo Pinti south to a right at the piazza onto Borgo della Albizi. Street names will change but stay straight through the massive arch at Piazza della Repubblica until the charming square at Via de' Tornabuoni. Take a slight left onto Via della Vigna Nuova past the Paolo Sacchi bookshop (Dante) to a left onto (so appropriate) Via del Purgatorio. At the dark intersection of (lol) Via dell'Inferno, pass through the archway, then left into paradiso at the magnificent Piazza Santa Trinita.
Enjoy the piazza, then look to the left of the Roman Colonna della Guistizia for Borgo Santi Apostoli, a classic stretch of shops, restaurants, and medieval alleyways, emerging finally on Via Lambertesca at the Uffizi. At the northern center of the now familiar Piazza della Signoria, find the narrow alley to Via dei Cerchi to a right onto Via del Corso and home.
|The village of Barga in the province of Lucca.
Cinque Terre
Day 6–9. On Thursday, we say good-bye to Florence and rent a diesel Audi for the remainder of our exploration. First stop is Lucca, known for its preserved Renaissance fortifications encircling the old town. With ramparts converted to bike paths and parkland (Florence tore down their walls to make a ring road), I'm surprised that Lucca is still waiting on the UNESCO tentative list.
North of Lucca begin the Apuan Alps, our next destination. We pass the famous Ponte della Maddalena on our way to the lovely (and pleasantly deserted) village of Barga. Running late, we don't stop in gritty Garfagnana but opt to navigate the winding Parco Alpi Apuane route to the coast in daylight.
Our final destination today is Grand Hotel Portovenere in the Cinque Terre region, and we manage to score Room 214 (terrace with harbor view) for Susan's 55th birthday weekend. Remnants of Hurricane Joaquin are hitting Europe this week, and high winds cancel Friday water taxis to the Cinque Terre villages. Instead we relax and spend the day eating fresh seafood and exploring the cliffside village of Portovenere.
Water taxis resume on Saturday to northernmost Monterosso. We manage to backtrack on a crowded train for a spectacular lunch atop wave-battered cliffs at Vernazza, but by afternoon Cinque Terre transit systems have been overwhelmed by an influx of pushy cruise-ship passengers seemingly determined to selfie all five villages in under four hours.
Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come. The next morning we arrive early in Pisa, parking in a massive bus lot pockmarked with grimy facilities. Unfriendly trolley drivers herd us toward the UNESCO sites. At the far corner of the Field of Miracles a large crowd has gathered, nearly everyone jockeying to get illusion-photo selfies holding up the leaning tower. A clever group has assembled on the opposite corner to push over the leaning tower. Needless to say, we can't flee Pisa fast enough!
Thank the Etruscan gods for Volterra, our next stop. A quiet and carefully preserved mountaintop village, the town might want to reconsider its UNESCO petition (or perhaps the UNESCO committee should rethink Pisa's designation). Regardless, we enjoy the Porto dell'Arco, Etruscan museum, and Roman amphitheatre, leaving us in a much better mood for our upcoming week in Tuscany's Val d'Orcia.
|Etruscan tombstones, Montepulciano.
Val d'Orcia
Week 2. Arriving in the rural town of Pienza, we're a bit nervous about what we'll find at the Agriturismo il Macchione, but our fears are unfounded. We're given a huge suite on the upper floor of a restored farmhouse amidst some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet. Francesco, the young proprietor, runs an olive oil business just down the road, and Susan is thrilled to get a tour and some fresh-pressed Fattoria Fregoli 2015 harvest.
Agriturismo is the perfect word to describe Pienza's appeal—the old town is a fifteenth-century UNESCO gem, but tourists can still find farm-town politeness while shopping for groceries or filling up with diesel. Residents' biggest concern is that a movie starring Dustin Hoffman filming this week in the Pallazzo Piccolomini will spotlight the town for more bus tours next year.
Our first day-trip takes us just down the road to San Quirico d'Orcia, a via Francigena pilgrimage town with hilltop gardens hidden behind well-preserved ramparts. Next stop is Montalcino, an Etruscan hilltop town best known for Brunello di Montalcino wine. We love this town! Or should I say, We love Brunello (brownish, smallish Sangiovese grape). After tasting several Brunellos at Drogheria e Locanda Franci, Susan orders a case on the spot. Later we have great fun climbing the fortress ramparts enjoying the best views and prettiest town of our entire trip. Or has the wine influenced our opinion? We must revisit soon to clarify!
|The view from Castello Vicchiomaggio, in Chianti.
We next visit Montepulciano (of Vino Nobile wine fame) and Siena, but both towns disappoint; they feel surprisingly gritty and jaded by tourism. We do the necessary tower climbs and take some pictures, then add the towns (alongside Pisa) to the been-there-done-that list.
Our final day in Val d'Orcia takes us south to where Dickens wrote about a lovely road between the towns of Sarteano and Cetona. Our driver, Francesco, has also recommended a "Slow Food" restaurant in Sarteano. Well, the views do not disappoint, the hilltop towns are charming, and our lunch at Osteria da Gagliano becomes a keepsake memory of traditional decor and cuisine.
With some daylight remaining, we opt for one last guidebook town and head out for Radicofani at the base of Monte Amiata, climbing to the windswept Fortezza di Radicofani. The drive home along tree-lined SP53 to enter Pienza from the south completes our loop with possibly the most classic of Val d'Orcia scenic routes.
Friday finds us closer to Florence (for an early Saturday flight) in Greve, after stopping again in Radda for gifts and travel-wall souvenirs. Our hotel, the hilltop Castello Vicchiomaggio, has a Shangri-La quality about it, leaving us with one final magic moment before returning home.
Daryl Grout and his wife, Susan, grew up in Randolph, Vermont. They are now grandparents and live in Brooklyn.

I can set the variable to 't' and open the toc using 'C- c =' but when I hit 'Return' on a toc entry I get the following error in a horizontal split window: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No other window to side of this one") enlarge-window(0 t) enlarge-window-horizontally(0) reftex-re-enlarge() reftex-toc-visit-location(hide) reftex-toc-goto-line-and-hide() call-interactively(reftex-toc-goto-line-and-hide) Do you have any idea what the cause is?

Back in the 1970's and 80's, there were only about two dozen photographers from the Photographic Society of America (PSA) who presented photo workshops or all-day photo seminars. I am happy to say that I was one of them, with six all-day photo seminars presented to large photo organization across the USA and over a hundred photo education programs to camera clubs.
"PSA was considered the largest photo organization in the world"
I also presented photo educational programs at the annual national convention of the Photo Society of America that had over 20,000 members, both amateurs and professionals. Back in the 70's and 80's, PSA was considered the largest photo organization in the world.
Today, photo magazines have page after page of advertising that sponsor all-day photo seminars and workshops by camera manufacturers, often using new and young photographers who made a name for themselves in the digital age of photography. Individuals who never knew anything about photography before the digital age are now advertising their workshops on the Internet.
"This could be the Golden Age of photography"
This could be the Golden Age of photography with new things coming. At 97 years old, I wish I could be around to see them.

Previously, we had already posted some brief information about our Diamond Award winner naked Stables Private Reserve. In this article we would like to tell you a little bit more about that great project. Generally, the project strives to become the first LEED ( Leadership in Environmental Energy Design) in Asia. naked Stables Private Reserve is set in 65 acres of pristine land. All buildings are designed in a way to minimize their environmental impact and fit in with the natural surroundings. The Private Reserve will save up to 35% of its total energy use through the combination of intelligent building design to create well-insulated envelopes and the use of energy-efficient water source heat pumps for heating and cooling. In addition, the resort will save over 30% in water consumption. As well as cutting edge technology,many traditional construction techniques such as stone masonry walls, bamboo and recycled timber-framed structures, and traditional mud wall constructions are also employed.
The naked Stables Private Reserve includes the naked Leaf Wellness Center which offers personal consultations and a range of treatments, holistic therapies, yoga and meditation, diet and exercise regimes that incorporate all sides of the resort. As for accommodation there is a big choice of residences available for rent, such as clay houses in the forest, and villas at the top of the hills. No matter what type of accommodation you chose, you will be surrounded by beautiful nature, comfort, and the feeling of luxuriousness.
That would be a great place to visit and to escape from the haste and stress of metropolitan life! The reserve is located outside Shanghai and there is a big variety of transportation available to reach the Reserve.

Dundalk FC Trust: Everyone is united behind the club this season
Dundalk FC Community Trust held their first AGM on Thursday night with a massive air of expectancy and excitement ahead of the new 2013 season.
Chairman Simon Blackmore was unable to attend due to a knee injury he sustained and Secretary John Fergus was also absent as he was in America on business.
A minute's silence was also held before the meeting after the passing away in the last week of Ellen McGee, Deidre Curran and Garda Adrian Donohoe.
In order
The Trust stated that they were well ahead of themselves from the time they became a legal entity last July. And that "all legalities will be in order throughout the 2013 season."
The Trust's main priority for this season is to integrate every aspect of the club back into the community and Structures are in place so that the Trust, the Patron Scheme and the Save Our Club are all under one barrel and will form into one full membership scheme.
The decision behind that is so that it gives better security for the future of the club, which is something that was needed after the incidents of last season.
The finances of the club were brought up during the meeting and it was revealed that finances are not going to the club via the Trust anymore.
"Everything goes directly to the club now. Everyone is united and the club is in a better place for it", said Trust member Colm Murphy.
There will also be quarterly meetings for all members of the new membership. The Trust is keen for a supporter implemented club and they had plenty of praise for the Fastfix consortium that they partnered up with, stating, "we had 100% agreement on how the club should work".
It was acknowledged that not everything was going to be right this year, but stated that everyone should try and get involved and work together to make the club better and better.
Details during the meeting came out about how the Trust's aim over the last two to three years was to take over the club. "Financially, no way could we have taken over", said Murphy before he repeated the point that "the club is in a rebuilding stage and it is important that we all work together".
Despite all income going directly to the club the Trust did state that they would have accounts of everything that goes into the club, in order to avoid confusion in future. All the proceeds from the bar and functions that get held at Oriel Park in future will now go directly into the budget for the club.
Colm mentioned the 2009 budget, which he described as a "disaster" and explained how the club had to take out a loan to clear it. The bar has been paying that off ever since.
All members will be notified on a monthly basis of the financial situation of the club via letter. Those in attendance at the meeting stated that there was a "different atmosphere this year, one that hasn't been in the town in 10-15 years".
A passionate speech from supporter Mark 'Maxi' Kavanagh brought a massive round of applause in the room as he advised fans to "stick together and support the team as much as possible in what should be a great season".
The committee members of the last two years all put themselves forward and the members are as follows: Simon Blackmore, John Fergus, Stephen Neary, Jimmy Neary, Emma Barry, Des McKeown, Niall Durnin, Roy Mackin, David Caldwell, Noel Rice, Colm Murphy, Finbar Gethins, Peter Fergus, Sean Bellew and Conor Hoey.

Create a Network of Hope with Our Lost Dog Register
It's a series of fliers - all hastily crafted, their edges curled and their inks smeared from anxious fingers. You staple them across electrical posts and community billboards, manage to coax a few shopkeepers to place them in their windows. Each pleads for neighbours and strangers alike to find your lost dog. He disappeared two nights ago, leaving you fretting as you walk the streets. Your feet can only carry you for so long, however, and you eventually have to stop. This leaves countless miles still to search and far too little time.
Lost Pet Finders sends our condolences. We understand the worry you're now facing, with all thoughts centred on your beloved dog. Allow us to ease those concerns, connecting you to a virtual network of supportive men and women. Redefine your search with our signature pet alerts, enabling you to target multiple areas and increase your chance of success.

Spain is coming back, fingers crossed. That was the vibe from the Morningstar Investment Conference in Madrid this week, where Spanish managers flocked to hear speakers from big investment banks and fund houses. In the visually stunning Cibeles Palace in Madrid, which was once the site of the fanciest post office you've probably ever laid eyes on, the mood was fairly upbeat among managers.
Companies are beginning to look at investment projects for the first time in a long time...families are spending more," Portuguese-born Firmino Morgado, who manages the Fidelity Iberia and European Aggressive Fund, told a fairly full audience in the lower auditorium of Cibeles Palace.
His colleagues agreed, with Ricardo Canete, who manages Mutuafondo Espana and others at Mutuactivos in Madrid, talking about a return of credit, with more financing, and hotels filling up over the recent Easter break. Morgado spoke of new opportunities happening everyday
Spain is exiting the crisis better than it went in," said Morgado, who heaped some praise on Bankia , and talked of minimum valuations for companies like Telefonica .
Bankia was bailed out by the government nearly two years ago. Its stock can be bought for just €1.40 a share, or around $2, with a bargain-basement P/E ratio of 2.8 . Telefonica, down about 1% for the year, sports a P/E of under 12.
Yes, cheap pretty much describes Spanish equities right now. The IBEX 35 has even underperformed versus benchmark stocks in Portugal and Italy, two countries with similar economic crises. But at a 5%-plus gain for the year, Spanish is beating the pants of a 0.2% rise for the German DAX 30 index as well as the S&P 500's miserly 1% gain.
The fact that fund managers can find optimism about Spain was kind of a no-brainer. Who wouldn't want to feel optimistic after six years in a recession? At the end of April, data showed the economy grew 0.4% in the three months to March, which was the fastest quarterly pace in six years. That caused the country's own government to lift its forecast for growth this year to 1.2% from 0.7% prior. Of course, economists didn't pop the champagne, because the country is still grappling with a deep unemployment problem.
Predrag Dukic, senior equity sales trader at CM Capital Markets, who wasn't at the conference, agreed that yes, this year does seem better than last year.
"We have had a few IPOs, quite a bit of rumerology, some investors returning to Spain, which has led us to believe that perhaps there is still life in the equities markets after all," he said, in emailed comments.
In some quarters, the good times are starting to come back. On the rooftop of Cibeles, a coffee will set you back $6. The mood was jovial at the Morningstar lunch, and why wouldn't it be with such a stunning view and melt-in-your mouth cured ham. After all, this was the money crowd.
But in Spain, there is always something ready to pull you back into the years of hardships this country faces, cheap stocks or no. Laura de la Quintana, 26, was covering the conference for her publication, Estrategies de Inversion, which is a financial website. When pressed about her view on how the economy is coming along, the picture grew a little darker.
De la Quintana says she works her day job, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., then works at a radio station in the evenings, sometimes from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. With those two jobs she just brings in over €1,000 a month. She lives with a friend, and tells how 85% of her friends in Spain are unemployed, most of those journalists.
No doubt, she says, she'll be leaving Spain again, having spent time working in London and Mexico. "Of course up here," she says, gesturing to the crowds around here. "There is money."

This cassette album from a good three decades ago will be of interest a got lot of you. Not due so much to the renown of Glass Penguins prime mover Michael Cox, but some of his collaborators, including Kurt Bloch (Fastbacks), Scott McCaughey & Chuck Carroll (Young Fresh Fellows) and last but not least Jon Auer of The Posies who co-engineered Raspberry. By and large this is Michael's baby, with the aforementioned primarily playing background roles. No true blue revelations here, but all and all a pretty good tape that sonically pursues DIY, bedroom/power pop avenues. The opening "Girl I've Never Met" and later, "Out of the Rain" might mesh appropriately on an early Game Theory record, "I'm Sure" is brisk, assured acousti-pop, and "Out of the Rain" packs plenty of kickin' propulsive panache. Michael does ample justice to the Knack's "Number and Your Name" and Neil Diamond's "Look Out (Here Come's Tomorrow)."

Manly Junior celebrates 50 years
The "MJ" sailing dinghy formally celebrates 50 years at Manly 14' Sailing Club this Saturday
It's been 50 years since the pint-sized, snub-nosed sailing dinghy known as the Manly Junior was first launched from Sydney's Manly 14' Sailing Club.
The diminutive craft, affectionately known as the "MJ", gave many a reader their first taste on the water, and over the years, thousands of Australian sailors (and an impressive number of Olympic athletes) continue to cut their teeth on one.
The MJ was designed and launched by Ralph Tobias from Manly 14' Sailing Club in September 1959. Fully Australian designed and built, the MJ remains consistently popular amongst 6 to 14 year olds today. Many seasoned sailors believe it to be the ideal training dinghy, thanks in no small part to the fact that it remains the only craft of its kind to incorporate a mainsail, jib and spinnaker.
To celebrate the MJ's 50th anniversary, Manly 16' Skiff Sailing Club and Manly Yacht Club in conjunction with the Manly Junior Association will formally recognise the contributions that the iconic dinghy and Ralph Tobias have had on the sport of sailing.
The celebrations will be held this Saturday, November 14. The event coincides with the second round for the 2009/2010 Manly Junior State Championships.
A ferry will depart Manly wharf at 2pm sharp, to allow attendees or visitors to watch the second race, followed by dinner at 6.15pm.

Remember how I said I misplaced my camera a few weeks ago? I was so annoyed because I rarely loose things and certainly not as important as my camera. I had this nagging feeling that it may have grown legs and walked away during the renovations but for the most part the workers here had been in and out of our house for the better part of the last 4 months. However, after spending a week going through ever closest, garage, under all beds etc. I realized that the nagging feeling was for real. I know it was sitting out on the day that house was beyond chaotic and we were all in and out. Many workers were there for just the day and it has become clear that someone decided that they deserved my camera.
Pissed does not even explain my feelings. I am mad at myself for not being more aware and for not stopping and putting it away. It is just plain sad that you just can't be too trusting these days.
Instead I am focusing on the positive that it actually had the standard lens on it. Something that happens very rarely in this house and that I had just dumped most of the photos. So I am back to using the Nikon that at this point is getting old and hoping that maybe we will get a decent tax return and buy a new camera. All my lens are for a Canon so I am stuck with basic photos until then. So I am putting my energy into learning, for real, photoshop. We will see how far I get since I have oh so much spare time.
Here are some of my playing arounds.

Pinery reps meet with neighborhood
A neighborhood meeting on the proposed Pinery at the Hill wedding event center drew a relatively small number of negative comments Aug. 12.
The owners, who already operate a similar facility in Black Forest, plan to redevelop and add onto a 2 Š-acre property with a long-closed restaurant building on a high point at 775 W. Bijou St.
About 25 people came to the meeting, which had been called by City Planning because of the proposed facility's proximity to a residential area.
On hand from the Pinery were Windsor Yellen, part of the family ownership group; Eric Allen, director of operations; and Dani Silvestro, a wedding coordinator who is to become general manager at the Pinery at the Hill.
They pledged to secure the hilltop, which has been plagued by gangs, drunks and trash in recent years, and to provide a business that would be attractive, responsible and not bothersome to neighbors. Additionally, attendees (and any neighbors they knew) were invited to come out to the Black Forest Pinery the following Tuesday, Aug. 19 for a guided tour of the operations there.
One of those who responded to this offer was Welling Clark, president of the Organization of Westside Neighbors (OWN). ōFrom a quality standpoint, the operation there is first-class,ö he reported. He added that he was impressed the offer was given at all. ōThey didn't have to do this. They're making a good level of effort.ö
However, he noted that OWN will not take a position on the issue if the neighborhood is divided on it.
The Pinery ownership chose the site primarily because of its views of both the downtown and the Westside. ōThere's not a bride who wouldn't want to be photographed in this venue,ö Yellen commented.
The business concept is providing a ōone-stop shopö for a wedding, including the reception and other related aspects.
Neighbor concerns included traffic, as well as light and noise from the groups using the center. ōThe deck on the south side has a perfect view into our house,ö said Dan Novembre whose family lives in an old house on Hill Street, adjacent to the property.
The Pinery group agreed to look into that situation, but noted that most activities will be indoors and the building will be soundproofed.
Because of several neighbor traffic questions, Planner Meggan Yoest has recommended that the Pinery provide a ōbrief traffic analysisö to address issues such as when traffic will be heaviest and deliveries will be made.
Yoest further explained that the application, seeking to amend the site's development plan, does not require Planning Commission review. However, the matter could go before the City Council-appointed body should city staff members approve it and someone filed for an appeal.

So, today (09th December 2016) I was back at North Clwyd Animal Rescue to go walking again, I dont usually walk the same dog twice but following on from my last visit when I walked Alfie, I was curious to see how he was getting on, so I asked for him again.
I've had a tough couple of weeks in between, Ive just got over a bad cold and havent been out of the house much and was getting a bit down, on my way here I had thought about whether to walk Alfie again, or ask for a different dog, I really wanted to be out in the fresh air, for my own benefit.
Anyway, out comes Alfie, bouncing along, and off we go. As expected he had a poo and a wee as soon as we hit grass, so he's still clean in his kennel.

Women Like Us Foundation supports women's leadership for Gender Equality and Social Justice in the areas of Sex Trafficking, Homelessness and Education. It is the purpose of our blogs to create awareness of the work of women and the impact they are making on the world.
Liya Kebede has an undeniably beautiful face; she is after all a supermodel and actress.
It's 3 am in a remote village in Ethiopia. A woman is in labor due to give birth and the nearest health clinic is hours away. Her only choice is to deliver the baby on the dirt floor of a makeshift hut in the pitch dark. There are no health care providers of any sort to assist with the birth. Can you imagine the sheer terror this woman must have experienced?
Even though Liya grew up in Ethiopia and knew safe mother/child deliveries were an issue, nothing prepared her for seeing it first hand. As tears ran down her face, Liya wondered how this woman would survive. Fortunately, there was a glimmer of hope because someone else cared.
94% of women deliver at home without a trained attendee. Nearly 300,000 mother's die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth every year and 1 million newborns die on their birth day.
We often put blinders on and may even think " Not my problem." Or "It is too far away from my own little spec in the world." However, when a woman dies in childbirth the whole family, community and even the world feels the effects. The loss of a mother or baby is a tragedy. Each mother leaves an average of 4 orphaned children behind whose health, education and future potential decline rapidly due to condition that we can prevent.
Liya's senses and emotions came alive when she witnessed the atrocity these mothers and babies face. Her heart broke and she decided she was not going to just walk away and go back as though nothing transpired. Liya was determined to break down more barriers for the vulnerable by taking action.
Since most deaths happen within the 24 -hour period around the birth, Ethiopia Government and Global Partners are taking initiatives to create pre-natal programs for a safe and clean deliveries by providing a trained attendant to be present during these critical times. This was the case for the mother that day.
The Liya Kebede Foundation is a maternal health task force. The areas of priority are…
*Improve access to safe birth services for under-served women
* Expand community education ( best practices) in reproductive, maternal and newborn health.
The foundation is part of an international movement in support of universal maternal healthcare.
Liya is passionate about helping African mothers thrive so she also created Lemlem by Liya Kebede. Lemlem is hand made goods from local artisans. This line celebrates the women and the culture. Lemlem means hand made in Ethiopia from natural cotton. In Amharic it means to bloom or flourish. How fitting?
5% of all sales and proceeds go to support The Liya Kebede Foundation. Lemlem provides another voice as well as embodies the beautiful culture and traditions of Ethiopia.
Fashion Designer Tom Ford said, "In today's world, celebrity advocates are not rare." "What is rare is to encounter one whose devotion and drive come from a genuine desire to better our world." "Liya's work comes from a place of sincerity, and her beauty is much more than skin deep."

LONDON, February 25, 2014 -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Harbinger Watch Company announced that it has acquired jewellery website www.vpjewellery.co.uk; a new retail jewellery venture that has experienced great success and customer service track record in 2013. The venture will operate under the trade name vpjewellery.co.uk online initially with hopes to launch its first high street store in 2016.
In announcing the acquisition, Peter Johnson, Harbinger Watch Company's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We believe there is an important opportunity to offer fine jewellery in an innovative, exciting new online retail format. Through vpjewellery.co.uk, we hope to establish a position of authority and merchandising leadership in this fragmented, underdeveloped online jewellery category."
Vpjewellery.co.uk showcases a comprehensive range of Gold, Diamond, Sterling Silver jewellery as well as Pearl types, including South Sea, Tahitian and Freshwater. The assortment will both celebrate the classic styling of the traditional fine jewellery with innovative new designs and arrangements. Key brands such as Elements Gold, Fred Bennett and Fiorelli provide a solid foundation in attracting our core demographic.
The name VP Jewellery was inspired by the concept of VIP jewellery and the luxury it connotes. The vpjewellery.co.uk customer will be enveloped by the subtle colours of serenity in an encapsulating store environment. Translucent and iridescent materials will reflect and refract light to highlight and showcase the natural beauty of diamonds and pearls.
In concluding, Mr.Peter Johnson commented, "We believe the VP Jewellery concept provides an excellent opportunity to leverage and deploy modern day technology with a highly efficient operational infrastructure against the unrealized potential of mid-level fine jewellery. Within five years, we expect to have opened at least 2 VP Jewellery stores".

"Clean eating" is associated with the healthy lifestyle and body beautiful that is promoted by many online bloggers. While the term is heavily used in social media, there has never been any agreement on what it really means or any comprehensive studies examining the potential benefits of a clean eating lifestyle as a whole.
However, the core principles that the big names in this movement champion appear to be: eliminate processed food; reduce salt intake; eat more vegetables; choose whole grains; eliminate refined sugar; reduce alcohol. For some, you also need to be gluten, dairy, and soya free and to eat raw (depending on how militant you are, food has to be entirely uncooked or only mildly heated). And if you want to be completely "clean" you should probably be vegan, too. Quite a list, then.
And there are also some big players online - including Food Babe, who was voted by Time Magazine as one of the 30 most influential people on the internet - who have significantly influenced this trend.
While some of the principles of clean eating are in line with the best available evidence for losing weight or preventing ill health - such as eating plenty of fruit and vegetables, sticking to wholegrains and limiting processed food - there are plenty of others that don't stand up to scrutiny. It has been repeatedly proven that dietary restrictions such as a dairy-free diet or gluten-free diet are nutritionally substandard and studies have linked the introduction of a gluten-free diet with increased levels of psychological distress in coeliacs including depression and anxiety.
Some people find it difficult to understand why dietitians and doctors are against the clean eating phenomenon when there are still people eating burgers for breakfast and obesity is on the rise. However, some clean eating is sensationalist promotion of non-evidence based, and extremely restrictive, lifestyles that demonise everyday food essentials. And that can lead followers into having a sense of shame and failure for not eliminating "unclean" foods 100% of the time - so you can see where the negativity from healthcare professionals stems from.
There is significant research disproving many of the principles of the diet. Below are some of the big claims and why they don't stack up.

June 3 — Chile's antiquated data protection law has drawn the ire of the European Union and is well behind that of other South American countries' standards.
However, the Chilean legislature has heard the plea for increased data security and privacy standards and is looking to move towards a modern model.
President Michelle Bachelet recently announced that lawmakers will begin discussing improvements to the nations' data protection and privacy law.
"In the coming weeks, we shall be sending a bill to Congress to create an efficient institution to guarantee an adequate protection of personal and public data," she said in her annual address to the National Congress of Chile.
Regulating data use is necessary to develop Chile's digital economy and the proposed law will strike "the right balance between privacy and transparency," she said.
The announcement ends months of speculation about the fate of government plans to strengthen the country's inadequate data protection law. The present structure affects the population's right to privacy and reduces the competitiveness of its growing services sector, Chilean legislative insiders told Bloomberg BNA.
Absent some fundamental change to the law, Chile will be unable to effectively compete for Spanish language services outsourced from the EU, such as customer call centers for Spanish banks. In short, the EU will continue to consider Chile as providing an inadequate level of protection for personal information unless the framework law changes.
But whether those substantial changes will reach fruition remains unclear amid political maneuvering and a lack of transparency in the legislative process may undercut the chances for meaningful privacy reform.
With the rise of big data and an interconnected online marketplace, the Chilean data protection law is widely seen as inadequate. The present framework law was obsolete almost from the moment it was enacted.
Fifteen days after the passage of Chile's 1999 Law on the Protection of Personal Data (Law No. 19,628), the Spanish framework it was partly based on was withdrawn for not complying with EU standards of data protection. Additionally, the Chilean law failed to establish a data protection authority (DPA) to oversee privacy compliance, enforce security standards and impose sanctions.
The lack of a DPA has lead to inadequate sanctions for personal data breaches. For example in 2015, a website was allowed to post personal information associated with a person's name without repercussion. The website escaped punishment by arguing that the data was public knowledge.
In March 2016, investigative journalists found that they could access patient records through the Ministry of Health's computer system with little resistance. They also didn't receive any punishment for their actions.
Chile's lack of adequate data protection has limited growth of businesses that store and collect data from EU citizens.
The European Commission, EU's executive arm, verifies whether a countries data protection regime provides an adequate level of privacy protections to EU citizens' data.
Some South American countries have been certified as adequate under the EU data law. Argentina (2 PVLR 737, 7/7/03)and Uruguay have been certified (11 PVLR 1369, 9/10/12).
Other countries in the region, such as Colombia, Mexico and Peru, are updating their data protection rules to fall in line with European standards.
Soon after President Bachelet took office in 2014, Undersecretary for the Economy Katia Trusich took a freshlook at the problem. A draft bill was published in August 2014 for public consultation.
A public-private committee, which included representatives from Google Inc., Microsoft Corp., and the Washington-based Information Industry Counsel (ITI), as well as representatives of the banking, retail and insurance industries, provided input on the bill. The committee was able to reach a near consensus on the bill.
Raul Arrieta, a lawyer who coordinated the work as a legal adviser to the undersecretary, told Bloomberg BNA that "obviously there were areas where businesses thought we went too far and others where the academics thought it did not go far enough, but there was agreement on about 80 to 85 percent of the material."
Even without input, if the bill had been sent directly to the Chilean National Congress "it could have become law relatively easily and marked a significant improvement to Chilean legislation," Arrieta said.
The bill included clear definitions of individuals' rights based on legitimacy, responsibility, final-use and security and a series of exemptions to facilitate its implementation, such as employer-employee relations.
The bill sought to establish an independent and autonomous data protection authority, responsible for promoting privacy rights, enforcing the law and imposing fines of up to $700,000.
Paulina Silva, an IP and info-tech attorney at Carey y Cia in Santiago and adviser to the U.S.-Chilean Chamber of Commerce, said there were some matters that were left unclarified. For example, self-regulation by companies, a cause championed by the chamber but resisted by the government, wasn't part of the draft bill.
With the bill set for debate, the legislation ran into resistance from the powerful Finance Ministry, which said that a data protection authority would cost too much. Days after taking office in May 2015, Finance Minister Rodrigo Valdes ordered a revision of the legislation.
With the price of Chile's main export, copper, falling 20 percent in 2015, the government has been under pressure to rein in spending to tame its deficit, even curtailing the provision of free higher education to lower income students. The bill was initially included in the government's transparency agenda, aimed to improve probity in public sector following a series of corruption scandals but was quickly dropped.
In late 2015, the Finance Ministry decided to prepare a more streamlined bill, triggering economy undersecretary Trusich's January 2016 resignation from office.
There has been little information released on the Valdes-backed bill. A Finance Ministry spokeswoman said that no details of the proposed law would be revealed before it is presented before the legislature.
"We are not going to say anything else," the spokeswoman said, adding that the details are still being finalized between ministries.
However, an early draft of the proposed bill was criticized as inadequate. Rather than developing completely new legislation, many suspect the government is now working on modifications to the original data protection law.
This would be a mistake, the insiders said. According to Silva, "the law should be thrown out and put through the shredder." The original law contains so many deficiencies that it requires root-and-branch reform, she said.
Arrieta said that "just adding a data protection authority to the current law would make the system worse." Bringing the original law into line with international standards on data protection would require so many changes that it would be easier to write a completely new law, he said.
Nor is there clarity on what form the new data protection authority will take. Rather than create an entirely new entity, Chile's Council for Transparency has proposed to expand its power to include data protection enforcement.
Jose Luis Santamaria, the council's president, said that the "prestigious" and independent body already has significant experience studying privacy issues and issuing sanctions when reviewing appeals for information from public bodies. By duplicating areas such as administration, finances and human resources, it could fulfill the role at a much lower cost than developing an entirely new institution, he said.
The government's thinking on the matter remains unclear although the president's reference to an "efficient institution" suggests a more streamlined solution than the Trusich bill, he said.
As recently as May 13, Nicolas Eyzaguirre, General Secretary of the Presidency, who is responsible for coordinating the government's legislative program, was unclear what form the new entity would take, Santamaria said.
