Nokia reportedly bringing phone to AT&T
Nokia Oyj will unveil its first Windows Phone for AT&T Inc. at the Consumer Electronics Show Jan. 9, two people familiar with the matter said, boosting an effort by Microsoft Corp. to regain market share lost to Apple Inc. and Google Inc.
Nokia and AT&T, the second-largest U.S. wireless carrier, will announce plans to begin selling the Nokia Ace in the coming months, said the people, who declined to be identified because the arrangements are private. The handset will be the first Windows Phone to use the next-generation wireless technology known as long term evolution, or LTE, the people said.
AT&T is set to become the biggest U.S. carrier to announce a Nokia Windows handset, underscoring the agreement's importance to Microsoft. Nokia is working to revive sales after it lost the title of worldwide No. 1 smartphone maker to Samsung Electronics Co. in the third quarter, according to researcher Gartner Inc.
The Nokia Ace will run the newest version of the Windows Phone software, one of the people said. While the price hasn't been finalized, the device may sell for $249 with a two-year contract, the person said.
AT&T is ahead of schedule expanding its LTE network, with service in 26 U.S. cities, John Stankey, head of business solutions at the Dallas-based company, said this week.
Smartphone Buyers
Last month, T-Mobile USA Inc. announced it would offer the Lumia 710, the first Nokia phone to run Windows Phone software in the U.S. The device, targeting first-time smartphone buyers, will cost $49.99 after a $50 rebate and with a 24-month contract. It will be available Jan. 11.
Google's Android boosted its share of the smartphone operating-system market to more than 50 percent in the third quarter, according to Gartner, more than double its share from a year earlier.
Espoo, Finland-based Nokia has revamped its smartphone business around the Windows Phone operating system. The company began selling Lumia phones in Europe and Asia last year.
Dawn Beauparlant, a spokeswoman for Redmond, Washington- based Microsoft, declined to comment. Doug Dawson, a spokesman for Nokia, and Mark Siegel, a spokesman for AT&T, also both declined to comment.
Plans by Nokia and Microsoft to unveil the phone were reported by the Supersite for Windows blog on Dec. 29.

No, this is not some sort of weather phenomena but rather good old fashioned toilet paper. I haven't seen much of this in the last decade, but knowing kids, I suspect it still goes on. Was "t.p.ing" a sign of respect, admiration or contempt? Whatever, it is a part of the social history of the San Fernando Valley.
Your Museum has an on-going interest in the contemporary and popular culture of the Valley. What are your thoughts?

It's been a while since we've looked at the Electoral College, which is what really matters in the race between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Many Republicans keep pointing to national polls showing Romney either gaining on or leading Obama. This may be an important sign, but it's very important to remember that the popular vote means nothing when looking at the presidential race.
Romney's strong debate performance on Wednesday has given a boost to his mistake-ridden campaign, but as of now, the presidential race really boils down to four states — Colorado, Florida, Ohio, and Virginia — representing 69 electoral votes.
According to Real Clear Politics averages, Romney is tied with Obama in Colorado and Florida and less that 1-point down in Virginia. However, Romney still trails by 3 points in Ohio. Say what you want about other swing states, but Romney has to run the table in the four states to win next month.
Iowa may still be viewed as a swing state by some, but the early voting numbers have to be discouraging to Romney's campaign. North Carolina has been tetering, but currently stands in favor of Romney, though not by much.
Here is a look at the Electoral College right now. Please note that I've given Obama the edge in Colorado and Virginia just based on the fact that he's led Romney more often than not (click on the map to enlarge):
If Romney takes those four states, then he takes the Electoral College 275-263. But in order to do so, Romney has to run a mistake-free campaign and continue to perform well in debates. Obama is going to be gunning for him, especially now that he is now vulernable on foreign policy, thanks to Benghazi-gate.

Brewhouse Light is an ward-winning beer, brewed by the independently-owned Great Western Brewing Company in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It was named the top Light (Calorie-Reduced) Lager in 2008 and 2010, and finished with a bronze in the 2012 competition announced back in June.
In this video, Brian and Colin present the first (in what may be a series) of head-to-head challenges between Brewhouse Light and other leading brands. Challenge one; which beer is the coldest. As Brian explains in the video, both beers were kept sitting trout-trap at the bottom of a glacier-fed creek for the past 6 weeks, and then kept on dry ice for the challenge. (well, maybe not really but I'll play along).
It all goes along pretty well until Colin realizes that his nipples will be the ultimate indicators of coldness.
The campaign comes out of Vancouver agency Saint Bernadine Mission Communications Inc.

Where will Jake Locker go in the draft? Don't expect NFL coaches, GMs to say
Jake Locker continues to work out for NFL coaches and executives at the Senior Bowl practices in Mobile, Ala. But teams will keep their evaluations of Locker to themselves right up to draft day.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Husky Football & Basketball blogs
MOBILE, Ala. — The team needs a quarterback. Minnesota's new coach, Leslie Frazier, was clear about that.
"It's one we've got to really address," he said of the position. "We're one team in our division that doesn't have a concrete starter, and so we're kind of looking up to the rest of our division at that position."
And there was a player in the North team practice Frazier just finishing watching that could be a potential answer. So coach, what did you think of Washington's Jake Locker?
"It's too early to comment on any of the guys that are coming out right now," Frazier said. "There will be a time. Some time in April. On draft day."
San Diego's Norv Turner wasn't any more enlightening on the subject, saying he hadn't seen enough of Locker. San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke just shook his head when asked.
When it comes to the NFL draft, teams tend to be in the business of collecting information for the draft, not distributing it, and a poker face is an important part of preparations.
Locker finished the first audition with an upward trend, improving after an erratic practice Monday. He showed the arm strength and the athleticism that have been highly regarded, but the question of his accuracy and just where he will be chosen in the draft hasn't nearly been answered.
He is a first-round talent, that much is agreed upon, and it will just take one team to make that a reality. With as many as a quarter of the teams in the league with a clear need at the position, there's going to be plenty of potential suitors with no clear-cut No. 1 quarterback in this class.
A year ago, Tim Tebow came to the Senior Bowl with unprecedented attention, and at that first practice, he bobbled a couple snaps and the concerns about adjusting from the spread offense became criticisms.
Well, he went in the first round, and Locker very well might, too, but it's going to be a long three months of speculation before there's a definitive answer to that question.

Panama detains North Korean-flagged ship
July 16 - Panama detained a North Korean-flagged ship from Cuba as it headed to the Panama Canal and said it was hiding weapons. Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
A North Korean-flagged ship from Cuba is detained in Panama as it headed to the Panama Canal. Authorities say it was hiding weapons in brown sugar containers, sparking a standoff in which the ship's captain attempted to commit suicide. Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli was at the scene. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) PANAMANIAN PRESIDENT RICARDO MARTINELLI SAYING: "There was great resistance on the part of the captain and the 35 crew members. Initially it seemed like a heart attack, but then the captain tried to commit suicide." He said undeclared weapons were detected inside containers when authorities stopped the ship, suspecting it was carrying drugs. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) PANAMANIAN PRESIDENT RICARDO MARTINELLI SAYING: "We simply cannot allow the passage of this kind of war material without declaring it through a country or hiding it. As you can see here we are going to continue unloading the whole ship until we know what there is on board so the authorities can investigate what exactly is inside this ship." North Korea is under a series of tough sanctions, including a U.N. ban on all arms exports due to its controversial nuclear weapons program. Panama's top drugs prosecutor told local television the ship was en route to North Korea.


text: EXCERPT: "Multifamily rents in the U.S. rose slightly in April, although the rate of growth fell below the long-term average, according to data compiled in the most recent survey of 121 markets by Yardi ® Matrix. Average U.S. rents rose $3 during the month to $1,314, an increase of 2% but well below the 5.5% growth rate of a year ago and the lowest year-over- year percentage increase since April 2011. The figures are expected, the report says, "given the rapid increase in supply and the inevitable return to growth that is more in line with income gains." According to the report, "Rents have (in most metros and most segments) far exceeded the rate of income growth in recent years, when the number of renters increased rapidly while supply nosedived in the wake of the last recession. Now rents are peaking and have become difficult to afford for the average resident in many metros, while supply is at cyclical peaks." Three California real estate markets led year-over- year rent growth in April: Sacramento, the Inland Empire and Los Angeles. Others in the top five were Minnesota's Twin Cities and Seattle."

With Kim Rhode's Outdoor Shooting out the door, it's finally time to start work on iShoot 2 in earnest. We've been bouncing ideas around for a while, but real work on it didn't start until two weeks ago.
Obviously with only two weeks of work on it and a brand new engine to get up and running, there isn't too much working yet. And what is working isn't ready to be subjected to public scrutiny yet. Still, we've gotten a lot done in such a short period of time — we can aim and shoot various cool weapons, and the terrain is in and blowing apart beautifully. Maps are finally bigger than a single screen, and scrolling and pinch zooming across the expansive landscape are working perfectly.
Most exciting to me, though, is the graphical improvements we're going to have this time around. Here's a tank from the original iShoot:
In comparison, here is one of the new iShoot 2 tanks when fully zoomed in (ignore the ugly solid blue background, skies aren't in yet):
Weapons, explosions, the UI, and everything else are all getting the same level of upgrade. On top of the obvious graphical improvements, the engine has some extremely cool tricks up its sleeve that I'm not ready to talk about yet. Stay tuned…

Manager Corporate Marketing at USG People
I am thrilled about our partnership with Expat Spouses Initiative. They're addressing a need in the Brainport region that's been ignored for too long. This cooperation opens up a world of possibilities for companies in the region, for the local government, and most importantly, for the people in the community. I'm looking forward to working with them.
Joost Smits
Partner Human Capital at EY
"At EY we are committed to building a better working world, and I believe that one of the ways we can do that in the Eindhoven region is by supporting Expat Spouses Initiative. It's an opportunity that more companies should be taking advantage of as either being a company hiring expats and offering support to their spouses or by hiring expat spouses with their unique international skillset. At EY we believe that through this initiative we can further strengthen the international business and social environment in our region".
Guus Frericks
Managing Director at Startupbootcamp HighTechXL
"This is the most exciting thing happening in EHV in 2015. When Kavitha and Anne told me that there are 9,000 highly skilled internationals in the region who aren't being utilized, I said, 'that's insane! Let's plug them in to the network.' Which is what we did. I am truly proud of them today."

Purposely choosing to quit your lavish career, leaving your family and your country behind just for love is a real challenge. To accomplish this you should be really mindful, optimistic and self-motivated.
I was born and brought up in a small town called Vidisha in India. After completing my schooling in 2008, I moved to Bhopal city which is very near to my hometown to complete my Bachelors of Engineering in Information Technology. I was 21 years old when I completed my bachelors and moved to Bangalore, which is known as the IT hub of India, to search for a suitable job and got placed in Hewlett Packard in October 2012.

Karen Choo-Haeberle, PR & Communications Director at STARSKIN®
When I moved to Eindhoven with my husband (for ASML), there was little demand for native English PR and Communications professionals — most of the international companies are in the Randstad region. But because he enjoys his work, we decided to stay put for a couple more years. In between, I worked freelance, and then later, after a chance encounter with specialized recruiter, for Philips. However it was not easy to find the perfect job where I can apply my full set of communications skills.
After the birth of our son, I contemplated going back to work. It was then a good friend mentioned to me about ESI and I thought I'd reached out to the network. Read more

The decision to move abroad as an expat spouse is not the easiest one to make, particularly if the spouse (that's me) has to leave behind a career that is the result of years of study and hard work. While the new role of my family's Transition Manager proved to be challenging enough (I confess it was among the top 3 toughest jobs I've had), to me it was important to remain professionally and socially active.

Then we decided to move to Belgium since my husband changed a job. Of course, I supported my husband and family and moved to Belgium. We had our second child there and got an opportunity to move to the Netherlands which is a hometown of my husband. Read more

We lived in our house for about 10 months before we decided to take the big step and demo the main floor. That was a bit of a scary day if I'm honest. Once we took the first swing it was like there's no turning back now....go big or go home!
One of the things we learned very quickly, within the first few days, was that when you're doing a renovation for the first time, and you're doing it on your own, things seem to take waaaay longer than you anticipated. Initially we thought oh yeah, we can demo this in a day or two....HA. HA! I can't even remember how long it took us, this phase was over a year ago now, but it definitely was not a day or two. Although we knew we had lath and plaster walls, we didn't think the details through, that taking these walls down was like taking them down two times. Once to get the plaster off (Darryl discovered after a bit that using a small, flat shovel worked best for him) and a second time to take the lath off (and then going around and taking all the teeny tiny nails out that didn't come out with the lath. Job.and.a.half.)
We used pry bars to take the lath off. If you're about to under take a job like this, be sure to have the proper masks, the thin, white ones won't do the job. Hard hats were also important with things like the ceiling coming down. Here's a closer look at the main reason we decided to take on this demo:
Behind the plaster and then the lath, what do you see? That's right....nothing. The walls were 100% empty. Yikes! So when the goverment was offering the Eco Energy Audit Rebates, we decided it was the perfect time. If we were going to do all of this, we might as well be reimbursed for all we could qualify for (things like updating windows, increasing your R value in terms of insulation, Energy Star toilets...).
I'm not going to lie, the first few days of this were hard for me. I'm not one to always enjoy change, I often like to keep things as they are. This house is 91 years old, someone 91 years ago put this baby together and now we were going to take it apart?? Horror! But the reality was that the house had already been so butchered and reconfigured by previous owners and landlords that I started to see it as my turn to make those things better. I may be more emotional than is probably good for me :S
More on the demo next week!
On another note, yesterday Darryl grabbed an original clawfoot tub from a neighbour a couple doors down who was going to throw it out! Our house already has a clawfoot, but it is in desperate need of repair, so we're thinking maybe we'll use it as a tester before we try refinishing our own. After seeing this kit at Little Old House I think we'll definitely try it! It may be a while before we get to it, but it was free and we couldn't pass it up!
Do you or any one you know have experience refinishing cast iron tubs or sinks? Any advice??

I know of no case that definitively rules whether or not custodians are allowed to charge the same rate for faxed or e-mailed records as they are for paper records. But, Government Records Council Executive Director Catherine Starghill has publicly stated that absent unusual circumstances, charges for faxed and e-mailed records are not permitted.
Following is the text of a letter I sent to the Sayreville Borough (Middlesex County) custodian when she attempted to charge me for faxed or e-mailed records. I've also included her response. I've recently sent similar letters to two other custodians and so far all three have destroyed my check and gave me the records for no cost.
Readers who are facing charges for e-mailed and faxed records might want to try the same or similar tactic.

Letter to Sayreville
September 8, 2009Sayreville's response
Theresa A. Farbaniec, Clerk
Borough of Sayreville
167 Main St
Sayreville, NJ 08872
Dear Ms. Farbaniec:
In follow up to an e-mail I received today from Jessica from your office, I enclose my $2.25 check for the three pages of records responsive to my OPRA request. In her e-mail, Jessica stated that your office would honor my request to fax or e-mail the responsive records to me, but only after receipt of my check.
I question the legality of your office charging me for faxed or e-mailed records. This issue is fresh in my mind because on August 26, 2009, I attended an OPRA seminar conducted by Government Records Council (GRC) Executive Director Catherine Starghill. During her presentation, Ms. Starghill made it clear that record custodians generally may not charge a requestor for faxed or e-mailed transmissions.
I want the requested records promptly, so I am enclosing my $2.25 check so as to avoid a delay in getting them. However, I would appreciate it if, prior to depositing my check, you would call the GRC's information hotline at 866-850-0511 and inquire as to whether Sayreville should be charging for faxing or e-mailing records. If the answer is in the negative, I ask that you please destroy my check and let me know that you have done so.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
John Paff
September 14, 2009
We received your letter, dated September 8, 2009, challenging the fee for responding to your OPRA request. We disagree with your position that no copy charges apply to faxed documents because almost all documents have to be photocopied, whether we fax or mail them. Regardless, due to the minimal charge for these documents, we will waive the $2.25 fee in this one instance. We will destroy your current check, but we are not establishing a policy of waiver or agreeing to waive any fees for future requests.
Very truly yours
Theresa A. Farbaniec, RMC

Site Preparation:This is best done in the fall. First, have the soil tested and adjust the pH if needed. Check and adjust drainage. The next step is to dig the bed. Add 4 to 6 inches organic matter to heavy clay to improve soil texture. Dig to a depth of 12 or 18 inches and leave "rough" in fall or early spring. Finally, in spring, add fertilizer, spade again, and rake the surface smooth. This is especially important with perennials, as they usually are left in the site for several years. In general, it is best to plant clumps of perennials rather than one plant. Large plantings may be made if space allows. An ideal location would provide a background such as a wall or hedge against which perennials will stand out while in bloom. In island beds, perennials can provide their own background if tall ones are planted in the center and low ones toward the edges.
Soil Preparation:Preparing the soil is extremely important to perennials. Many annuals can grow and flower in poorly prepared soil, but few perennials survive more than one year if the soil is not properly prepared. For new beds, begin preparing soil in the fall before planting time. Have the soil tested first. Results will indicate how much fertilizer needs to be added during preparation and how much fertilizer needs to be added in the spring. Before preparing new beds, check the soil to see that it is well-drained, yet has some water-holding capacity. Test for drainage as described in the section on annuals. If drainage is inadequate, dig furrows along the sides of the bed and add soil from the furrows to the bed. This raises the level of the bed above the general level of the soil. Excess water can then seep from the bed into the furrows. Raised beds may wash during heavy rains. This can be prevented by surrounding the beds with wooden or masonry walls. Since raised beds dry out more quickly than flat beds (little moisture moves up into the bed from the soil below), water beds frequently during the summer. After forming the beds, spade the soil to a depth of 8 or 10 inches. Turn soil over completely, incorporating 2 to 4 inches of organic material. Remove debris and leave rough during the winter. In the spring, just before planting, spade again. At this spading, add recommended levels of fertilizers. Be sure to work any phosphorous deeply into the soil, where plant roots can get it. Rake the soil surface smooth. After raking, the soil is ready for seeding or planting.
Setting Out Transplants:By setting started plants in the garden you can have a display of flowers several weeks earlier than if you sow seeds of the plants. This is especially useful for annuals that germinate slowly or need several months to bloom. Buy only healthy plants, free of pests and diseases. Before setting out transplants, harden them off by exposing them to outside conditions during the day that will provide more light and cooler temperatures than they received inside. After the last frost date, annual plants may be set out. Dig a hole for each plant large enough to accept its root system comfortably. Lift out each plant from its flat with a block of soil surrounding its roots. Set the soil block in a planting hole and backfill it so the plant sets at the same level. Irrigate each hole with a starter solution of high phosphate fertilizer that is water-soluble. Follow package directions.
Watering:Do not rely on summer rainfall to keep flower beds watered. Plan to irrigate them from the beginning. When watering, moisten the entire bed thoroughly, but do not water so heavily that the soil becomes soggy. After watering, allow the soil to dry moderately before watering again. A soaker hose or drip tape is excellent for watering beds. Water from the soaker hose or drip tape seeps directly into the soil without waste and without splashing leaves and flowers. The slow-moving water does not disturb the soil or reduce its capacity to absorb water. Water wands are also good. Sprinklers are not as effective as soaker hoses. Water from sprinklers wets the flowers and foliage, making them susceptible to diseases. Structure of the soil may be destroyed by impact of water drops falling on its surface; the soil may puddle or crust, preventing free entry of water and air. The least effective method for watering is with a hand-held nozzle. Watering with a nozzle has all the objections of watering with a sprinkler. In addition, gardeners seldom are patient enough to do a thorough job of watering with a nozzle; not enough water is applied, and the water that is applied is usually poorly distributed over the bed. Since herbaceous perennials grow back from the roots every year, it is important to encourage healthy, deep roots. Proper watering promotes good root development. Make sure when watering that all the roots are reached.
Mulching :Mulches help keep the soil surface from crusting and aid in preventing growth of weeds; organic mulches can add humus to the soil. Grass clippings make a good mulch for annuals, if they do not mat. Sheet plastics also may be spread over the soil surface to retard evaporation of water and to prevent growth of weeds. However, these materials are unsightly for use in the flower garden. Mulch gives an orderly look to the garden and cuts down on weeding. Mulches are very useful for maintaining uniform moisture conditions in the garden. Soil temperatures are modified by mulches to various degrees. Organic mulches may add some nutrients and humus to the soil, improving its moisture-holding capacity. Most organic mulches should be applied after plants are well established and when there is reasonably good soil moisture. Inorganic mulches, such as plastic films and paper, are applied prior to planting. Black plastic, landscape fabric and similar materials should be spread on land that has been completely prepared for planting and has a high moisture level. Bark, pine needles, and shredded leaves are common organic mulches used in perennial beds. Gravel and black plastic are inorganic materials to use. All mulches require care to keep them attractive; litter is very noticeable. Perennials should be mulched during the winter months to protect them from the heaving that results from repeated freezing and thawing of the soil. However, you must be careful with winter mulching, as it can do more harm than good. Be careful not to pile mulch heavily over the crowns, as this would encourage rotting. Boughs of evergreens give ample protection but allow air circulation. Apply mulch around the plants only after the soil temperature has decreased after several killing frosts. If winter mulch is applied too early, the warmth from the protected soil will cause new growth to start. Severe damage to the plant can result from new growth being frozen back. Remove winter mulch as soon as growth starts in the spring. If you don't, new growth will develop abnormally with long, gangly stems and insufficient chlorophyll.
Weeding:After plants are set out or thinned, cultivate only to break crusts on the surface of the soil. When the plants begin to grow, stop cultivating and pull weeds by hand. As annual plants grow, feeder roots spread between the plants; cultivation is likely to injure these roots. In addition, cultivation stirs the soil and uncovers weed seeds that then germinate.
Staking: Most erect perennials are top-heavy and all of the taller ones need staking. If plants fall over, the stem will function poorly where it has been bent. If the stem is cracked, disease organisms can penetrate the break. Stake plants when you set them out so they will grow to cover the stakes. Once staked, tall perennials can better withstand hard, driving rain and wind. Tall-growing annuals like larkspur, or tall varieties of marigold or cosmos, need support to protect them from strong winds and rain. Tall plants are supported by stakes of wood, bamboo, or reed large enough to hold the plants upright but not large enough to be conspicuous. Stakes should be about 6 inches shorter than the mature plant so their presence will not interfere with the beauty of the bloom. Begin staking when plants are about 1/3 their mature size. Place stakes close to the plant, but take care not to damage the root system. Secure the stems of the plants to stakes in several places with paper-covered wire or other materials that will not cut into the stem. Plants with delicate stems (like cosmos) can be supported by a framework of stakes and strings in crisscrossing patterns. Use stakes made of any material. Select stakes that will be 6 to 12 inches shorter than the height of the grown plant. Place stakes behind the plants and sink them into the ground far enough to be firm. Loosely tie plants to the stakes, using paper covered wire, plastic, or other soft material. Tie the plant by making a double loop of the wire with one loop around the plant and the other around the stake. Never loop the tie around both stake and plant. The plant will hang to one side and the wire may girdle the stem. Add ties as the stem lengthens.

Letters to the Editor
Tobacco Road is gone
It's hard to believe that Miami's oldest and most historic bar, Tobacco Road, has closed its doors.
At 103 years of age, it has a colorful history, including time as a speak-easy during prohibition.
Almost everyone who has lived in Miami for some time has stories of good times spent at the Road. Clients have included all types — bikers, laborers, politicians and the well-groomed professionals of Brickell. They've all enjoyed listening to incredible music there while sharing a drink. Unfortunately, it is another victim of the developer frenzy engulfing downtown Miami.
Great cities such as New York and Boston preserve their past. One can visit taverns dating back to the Revolutionary War in those places. Not so in Miami.
It seems that everything is up for sale to the highest bidder. Old Miami homes that are architectural gems are routinely being demolished to make room for gaudy McMansions. Even Miami's historic downtown courthouse is now under threat. So what will replace Tobacco Road? Most likely another luxury high-rise. Isn't that exciting?

Among June's best deals are three seemingly unrelated categories: dishes/decor, gym memberships/equipment and tools. (Two of those actually intersect, but more on that later.)
Dishes and decor are both popular wedding-gift items, which is probably why they go on sale in the month that's come to be associated with nuptials. (Fun fact: 17% of U.S. weddings take place in June.)
Tiffany Matthews of RetailMeNot notes a couple great June offers from Bloomingdale's:
—The Designer Home Sale, which takes place from June 12 to 22, means savings of 20% to 50% on select home items.
About those registries: The idea of a merchant-curated gift list originated back in 1924 at Marshall Field & Co. in Chicago. The notion went high-tech in 1993, when Target started its electronic self-service gift registry.
Check the engaged couple's wish list(s) to get an idea of the kinds of things they want, from soufflé dishes and polka-dotted plates to monogrammed wine glasses and more.
Think outside the list
Or skip the specifics of the registry and focus instead on their taste in housewares (themes, colors, patterns, textures) and then shop a site like Overstock.com, which always offers great savings.
"Dinnerware, cookware, home decor items—we can provide them at a discount and on trend," says Seth Marks, Overstock's senior vice president of merchandising. Through June 30, Overstock is offering 10% off furniture for all customers.
Friends who set bold tables might enjoy polka-dot dinner plates from Red Vanilla (set of six, $69.99) or Rachael Ray's Blue Ikat stoneware plates (four-piece set, $22.99), which could make even Ritz crackers seem ritzy.
Speaking of entertaining: Marks notes continued interest in barware. If the bride and groom like to have people over, why not give them some serving options? For example:
—If they're wine aficionados, consider monogrammed stemless wine glasses (set of four, starting at $40.99).
—For the brew-curious, perhaps these handsome Frankfurt Tallboy beer mugs (starting at $35.49 each) would do the trick.
—And if they're martini-mad? Spring for a set of spiral-stemmed glasses that light up in different colors (set of 12, $36.49).
Other great sales in June:
Kohl's: Through June 17, get 15% off sitewide plus free shipping on $75 or more.
Macy's: Through June 22, save 25% off $100 or more in store with this printable.
Personal Creations: Through June 24, get 40% off one item when purchasing two or more. Check out the wide selection of wedding gifts.
Personalization Mall: Through June 30, save $5 off orders of $25 or more.
Bed Bath & Beyond: Use that popular 20% off one item coupon for the newly married couple.
Just remember: Gift registries are merely a suggestion. You're allowed to buy your present wherever you want. Use Williams-Sonoma's list of top gifts under $50 and $100 for more ideas.
Looking (and feeling) your best
About that wedding: Do you still fit into your marryin'-and-buryin' suit or that little black dress? If you want to look good at the reception, check out current deals on exercise equipment and/or gym memberships. Say you're invited to a late-June wedding. It's still possible to lose five pounds and tone up what's left so you'll feel more confident on the dance floor.
Gym websites are likely advertising hot deals in local media, but also keep an eye on the gym coupons section of RetailMeNot. Starting June 4, for instance, 24 Hour Fitness will offer an exclusive free four-day pass to try any one of its gyms in the country.
Here are other smart tips when considering a new gym:
—Visit during the time you'd likely be using the facility to see if it's too crowded for you to get use of the equipment.
—Check your insurance policy to see if it reimburses gym memberships.
—Some fitness centers have off-peak plans that are cheaper than prime-time ones.
—Talk with a manager about a group discount if friends join with you. (Bonus: Working out with pals can help keep you motivated.)
Read the contract very carefully before signing. Consumer Reports notes that one of the priciest aspects of joining a club is canceling your membership. For example, some clubs require two months' notice or even a notarized letter. (Meanwhile, you're still paying for something you're no longer using.)
Working out at home
If a gym isn't your style, consider home gym equipment. Just be honest with yourself: Are you going to use it or will that elliptical trainer become the world's most expensive clothes rack?
If a piece of equipment is unfamiliar, try it before you buy it—at a retailer, the gym or a friend's home. Think about ways to keep yourself motivated: Setting equipment up near the TV or choosing a treadmill with a rack for magazines or books. Then check the "fitness equipment" coupons at RetailMeNot. Right now, for example:
Sears is offering up to 40% off plus an extra $20 off $250, with free delivery on select items.
Sports Authority is promoting the lowest prices of the season on treadmills and ellipticals, "a good variety of equipment for up to 50% off," says Joe Smyth of RetailMeNot. The store also offers free delivery on orders of $999.99 or more (after discounts).
Filling up the pegboard
Tool sales are associated with that other June event, Father's Day. It's a stereotype that all men like fixing and building things; I mean, maybe your own father prefers to spend his free time doing things that don't involve sawdust and safety goggles.
But if the dad in your life has a toolbox, why not add to it? Suppose that having a pocket hole jig would really help his woodworking, but he doesn't want to spend the money on himself. Or maybe his incomplete collection of screwdrivers is on its last legs.
"You'll find some really good discounts at Sears through mid-June," Smyth says. Currently Sears is offering 50% off hot tools and Craftsman Mechanics Tool Sets, plus an extra 15% off $75 or more on tools.
Home Depot plans a great Father's Day sale starting in early June. You can also get free shipping in the contiguous 48 states (exclusions apply).
Here are some other options:
Lowe's: Get $10 off any $50 purchase or $10 off a Kobalt 34-piece home tool set.
Harbor Freight: Take 25% off any single item (some exclusions), through June 28; while you're at it, get a free six-piece screwdriver set with any order.
Acme Tools: Get 60% off a Makita Combo Kit, plus free shipping.
ToolBarn.com: Take $25 off a $100 purchase of Bosch tools and $25 off a $200 purchase of Hitachi tools, plus free shipping.
Finally, consider hitting these sales to fill any gaps in your own toolbox. Even if you're not a major DIYer it's still smart to have a few basic tools on hand for assembling bookshelves or tightening loose screws. After all, when a doorknob is wobbly, you'll learn that a butter knife is no substitute for a Phillips head.
What to Buy in June
Among June's best deals are three seemingly unrelated categories: dishes/decor, gym memberships/equipment and tools. (Two of those actually intersect, but more on that later.)

Smash Your Food App for iPad Crushes Food and Teaches Kids about Non-Healthy Foods
Kids today are no different from when we were kids - Make it cool, and they will learn. Food N' Me, a winner of the "Apps for Healthy Kids" campaign launched by First Lady Michelle Obama, defiantly brings the cool factor to their Smash Your Food app that lets kids pick food to be smashed in a virtual machine and watch as the bad contents accumulate to get a better idea of just what they are eating.
The app in itself is a game. Kids first pick up to 40 unhealthy foods they eat too much of (sodas, candy, hamburgers, pizza, etc). Then have to guess how much sugar, salt and oil are in the foods they pick. Next comes the fun part - They put the foods in the smashing machine watch as the food are pulverized (all of the foods were actually put in a real giant piston-driven machine and smashed in High Definition). What's left are the amounts of sugar, salt, and oil - Guess right, and players get points and advance to the next level (5 levels total) where more food awaits to be smashed.
Check out the video of how the folks at Food N' Me set up the smashing machine to crush your favorite foods:
Kids get to learn and have a little fun, while parents get customized emails with information on healthy eating tips for their children matched to their age range and activity level right from the app based on how their kids interact with the app. So check out Smash Your Food for iPad in iTunes and let us know what you think.

possesses a high-quality 8.43 mm lens. The lens focuses the
light that enters the camera on to the system's multi-spectral image
Sensors and Filters
filters atop the sensor limit the radiation that enters it to bands of
green, red and near-infrared radiation equivalent to Landsat Thematic
Mapper bands TM2, TM3 and TM4. These bands are the basis for
the standard "false color" composite images that have become associated
with multi-spectral imagery. They provide excellent early
warning signs of plant stress and their use as indicators of other
specific plant and soil conditions has been documented by scientists
for decades.
The ADC Micro sensor
features extremely high visible and NIR spectral fidelity.
The sensor gathers the radiation that passes through its filters to

Image Memory
This image is saved in
an included 16 GB Micro SD memory in one of three native file formats
specified by the user (identified as 10 bit DCM lossless, 8 bit RAW, or
10 bit RAW).
Images are stored along
with metadata such as GPS coordinates and/or attitude information
(pitch, roll and yaw) that is sent to the system through the ADC
Micro's serial interface (see I/O connections described
below). Metadata helps users establish the ground location of
each image.

complex batch processing tools, a comprehensive suite of image editing
tools and the ability to extract various vegetation indices such as
NDVI from the captured images.
In addition to
indicating plant stress, vegetation indices such as NDVI enable users
to deduce information such as biomass, chlorophyll concentration in
leaves, plant productivity and fractional vegetation cover as well as
predict crop yield. Refer to

Ground Resolution
& FOV Examples
The ADC Micro enables
users to gather information about vegetation at wavelengths
traditionally monitored by satellites. Only, flying in manned
or unmanned aircraft, data gathered by the ADC Micro is captured at
times completely determined by the user, independent of satellite
latency, un-obscured by cloud cover and in images that show
considerably higher detail than images captured from space (i.e., with
resolutions measured in millimeters per pixel rather than meters per

horizontal angle of view for the system is 42.48 degrees. The
vertical angle of view is 32.50 degrees. When carried in a manned or
unmanned aircraft, the field of view increases as the above ground
level (AGL) altitude increases.
As the AGL increases,
the camera's ability to resolve individual details on the ground
decreases. With its standard 8.43 mm lens, when
flown at altitude of 400 feet (122 meters) above ground level, this
camera creates an image large enough to capture an area measuring 95
meters wide by 71 meters high at a resolution of less than two inches
(46.3 mm) per pixel in a single shot.
Below is a table that
shows the ground resolution and field of view for images gathered at
various altitudes above ground. PixelWrench2 contains an FOV
Optical Calculator that enables determination of the system's field of

Cable (included with the system) to deliver a low-true TAKE PIC command
to the ADC Micro via Pin 5.
Triggering: The camera may be commanded to trigger by
an <ESC> T command via the RS232 connection on the
Box. Due to the delays incumbent in a serial interface, the
link is more commonly used to transfer GPS position coordinates to the
camera at camera trigger time. When the camera is connected to a GPS
receiver via its System Integration Cable, the camera records the
coordinates of the location at which each image is captured into its
log file upon receiving any camera trigger command.

System Features and Specifications
System Overview
90 gram 3.2 MPel
R-G-NIR System
principally designed for operation aboard unmanned aircraft
Both the ADC Micro and
ADC Lite are specifically designed for operation aboard
unmanned aerial vehicles. For a

Multi-spectral Bands
3-Fixed Green, Red, NIR
(Equivalent to Landsat TM2, TM3, TM4)
Red indicates a Busy condition. Green, a
Not Busy condition. When this indicator is lit green, the
camera is ready to capture a new image.
The ADC Micro Busy LED
glows red at the exact beginning of integration of an image into the
camera's sensor. The indicator stays red until the image is
saved in memory. During this time, the camera is not able to
capture another image. When this LED is green, the camera is
not busy and another image may be captured.
16 GB Micro SD Memory
Card provided standard with equipment
In order to run
at the fastest image cycle time we recommend use of 16GB Sandisk
Extreme Plus or Extreme Pro Class 10/UHS-1 Micro SD memory
cards. Camera cycle time with these cards should be less than
1 second in the raw 10 bit RWS10 format.
The USB 2.0 connection
for the camera is located on top of the housing as shown in the
illustration below. For reliable USB 2.0 communications, good quality
USB 2.0 rated cables should be used that are less than 2 meters in
length. The camera uses too much initial power to be supplied directly
from the USB cable. It must have an external power supply attached
prior to being plugged in for enumeration.

resolution selected
greater detail on this specification, See Interval Tables
Included Software
is included with each purchase of an ADC Micro
enables users to convert images captured in Tetracam native file
formats to file types commonly used with other software. The
software also enables users to convert the green, red and invisible NIR
bands captured by the camera as a monochrome image into blue, green and
red respectively for presentation in false color images and, following
this, extraction of vegetation indices such as NDVI from
these. See PixelWrench Product

Abstract :
Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is self-organizing and independent infrastructures also make them an ideal choice for uses such as communication and information sharing. Nodes in Mobile Ad-hoc Network are vulnerable to malicious entities that aim to tamper and analyze data and traffic analysis by communication eavesdropping or attacking routing protocols. Limited resource is an inherent problem in MANETs, in which each node experiences under an energy constraint problem. MANETs complex routing and stringent channel resource constraints will impose strict limits on the capacity of a system. Since, the existing anonymous routing protocols generate a high cost, which accelerates the resource constraint problem in MANETs, propose an Anonymous Location-based Efficient Routing protocol (ALERT) its use zone based anonymous routing protocols that hide node identities and routes from outside observers in order to provide anonymity protection to source, destination and route. Initially ALERT dynamically partitions the network field into zones and each zone chooses a node as zone leader (ZL), based on the fitness criteria for each node in the zone the zone leader (ZL) is choosed and randomly chooses nodes in zones as intermediate random forwarder relay nodes, which form a non-traceable anonymous route by theoretically analyzing ALERT in terms of anonymity and efficiency. It also provides the efficient route selection by Misbehavior Routing Authentication procedure and ensures secure routing which provide route anonymity. Experimental results exhibit consistency with the theoretical analysis, and show that ALERT achieves better route anonymity protection and lower cost compared to other anonymous routing protocols. Many anonymity routing algorithms are based on the geographic routing protocol (e.g. Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR)) that greedily forwards a packet to the node closest to the destination. ALERT provides high level security to sources, routes and destinations. At the end we compare ALERT with other protocols in terms of efficiency and cost.

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again . . .
The novel begins in Monte Carlo, where our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at his massive country estate that she realizes how large a shadow his late wife will cast over their lives--presenting her with a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their marriage from beyond the grave.
Who should read this book:
- Anyone who is looking to broaden their reading comfort zone.
- If you are fan of classic romance.
- Anyone who loves a good old-fashioned drama
- Wants to enjoy a personal development story.
Who shouldn't read this book:
- Anyone who hates super naive narrators.
- Who hates massive amounts of drama.
- Or doesn't like classics.
- Anyone who just doesn't like old fashioned romance.
I watched the film adaptation with my mum when I was smaller. The story has always intrigued me. It was quite a daunting read for me as I was quite nervous as to how I would find reading it as some classics can be quite dense and the language can overshadow the story for me.
This wasn't the case for Rebecca I fell right into the story. The story was well formed from the offset and really easy to get through. We follow the story of a young girl who falls in love and marries a man twice her age whilst training to be a companion and the journey that they go on when they return to Manderly.
The only downside to this book was the main character's naivety and her seeming innocence. I understood that she was a lot younger than Maxim but at times, the innocence strayed into ridiculous and I found that I just wanted to shake her at times. I thought that the twist was a little anti-climatic especially the second Mrs de Winter's reaction.
It is definitely worth the read. There is a reason why it's the most famous of Daphne Du Maurier's books. Despite its flaws.
Have you read any of the classics and would recommend any for me to read? Let me know in the comments!

The kitchen was out of the question. I mean, I could have worked on the accent wall some more but I just couldn't bring myself to wrap my now-arthritic fingers around that damn paintbrush and paint the same form over and over. A quick project was in order. One that would go from Before to After in a matter of hours and not get stuck in that awful During trap. The bathroom was the perfect small space where, with a few quick changes, I could transform it from Blah to Ahh...in under an hour.
Our only bathroom is small, lacks storage and has no sense of style. It does have nice natural light and we can work with the tile and builder grade vanity...for now. We've had the supplies to give it a nice little makeover for weeks now, but the kitchen has taken precedence over any other DIY project.
Until today...
My first change was replacing that awful mirror {which was a mirror glued onto a piece of laminate wood} with an amazing Moen Glenshire Oval Tilting Mirror in Brushed Nickel that I picked up on sale from Amazon for $55.22. I'd like to say that hanging it was easy and for most people I'm sure it is, but not me. I was having issues with everything...I couldn't get the anchors in and threw a pretty embarrassing fit over it then realized reading the directions might help and discovered that I had drilled the holes too small. After I put the anchors in and screwed on the mounting bracket, I attached the end post to each bracket and then struggled with attaching the mirror to the end posts. I even dropped one of those tiny screws that tightens the end post down the drain. Another tantrum ensued. After a long cool down I realized that the end posts probably attached to the mirror PRIOR to being mounted to the brackets...and I could have avoided all of this if I would have read ALL of the instructions from the beginning. You live, you learn...and you hide your face in shame, in my case.
Next, I tackled our storage issue by mounting two Baren glass shelves that I picked up from Ikea for $12.99 each. The first shelf was mounted above the toiled months ago and, with the mirror in place, I mounted the second underneath it. The downsides to these shelves? They don't provide mounting supplies so the screws and anchors are up to you and they are only offered with a stainless steel finish. I'll be breaking out the brushed nickel spray paint so that all our finishes match, but I can live with the SS until then.
With our countertops clear, I continued tackling our storage issue by implementing some towel storage. Before, all we had was an over the door hook so we definitely needed additional storage for the bathroom staple. In a bathroom as small as ours, we wanted it to feel as big as possible so we chose brushed nickel hooks over a towel rack for their simplicity and lack of bulk. I scored our Liberty Hardware hooks on Amazon for $1.68 each, now they're selling them for over $4.
So, let's check that list...Replace Ugly Mirror, Check. Tackle Storage Issue, Check Check. Now all that was left was to pretty it up a bit. In addition to my beloved "By Order of the Management" etiquette print that I purchased years ago from John W Golden's Etsy shop, our white shower curtain from Target, an Ikea bath mat and a few vintage mason jars, I added towels that I picked up from Ikea for $7.99 each, a framed watercolor and a pretty plant the hubs got me for my birthday.
What'd we do with that strange mirror we replaced? It's now hanging on our small entry wall. I'm thinking a little revamp work on it with some driftwood is in order.
And that's it. An updated bathroom in under an hour for under $120! That sure makes me feel a whole lot better!
Is this bathroom really finished? No, I have dreams of doing a board and batten wall treatment, peg board storage on the back of the door and replacing that builder grade vanity with a pedestal sink, so technically this "After" photo should be a "During" afterall. But I don't forsee those dream changes happening for quite awhile especially with all those other projects hanging over our head.
And now I'm back to feeling anxious...better take another look at that After!
Do you have any quick and budget friendly updates? I'd love to see them!

I'm tired. Knackered. Absolutely exhausted.
This weekend gone was Sydcon, a role-playing game convention held every October in Sydney. I attended as I always do and had a great time, as I always do.
And now I'm tired. Post-convention fatigue. I want to lay on my couch and watch Supernatural for endless hours and drink tea and recover.
But I'm at my computer. I'm writing. I'm working. I'm making the words happen.
They're not good words. I've had to rewrite paragraphs five times not just because they're bad but because they don't make sense. I've stared at an empty page for long periods of time, then typed a word, then went back to staring. I've been distracted by every stray thought, every fond memory of a YouTube video I suddenly feel I'd like to rewatch and every second song just demands I stop work and I listen to it.
It's been a lot like pulling teeth. My teeth. With copper wire tired to two legged donkey. It's painful and I'm progressing in any hurry.
But I'm still writing.
I don't mind that it's no good. I don't mind that I'll need to rewrite this even more, that I'll basically need to do a new draft of everything I've written so far. I can do that. As a writer, I have infinite retries to get it right.
What's important is I'm doing it.
This isn't writer's block (because writer's block doesn't exist.)
I'm just tired.
I just suck.
But I'm still writing.
I will write better tomorrow, or the day after that, or the day after that. But if I didn't write today, I almost certainly wouldn't tomorrow. If I just kept delaying until I had the ideal circumstances, I'd hardly ever write and then I'd hardly ever improve and then I'd hardly ever get anything done and I wouldn't have written books and I wouldn't be a professional word wizard.
So even though it's painful, even though I'll need to do it all again, even though I'd rather just collapse on my couch and bury myself in Netflix, I'm going to keep writing. It's just what you do.
Don't let a bad day stop you. Don't let sucking stop you. Don't let fatigue stop you. Writing time is precious and if you have it, use it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go pull some more teeth.

Sen. Lincoln responds; EPA faces more legal challenges
By Juliet Eilperin
Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) is undeterred by the recent Sierra Club radio attack ad that criticizes her efforts to halt the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases.
"Senator Lincoln acted on behalf of Arkansas workers, employers and consumers to protect them from burdensome regulation," said her spokeswoman Katie Laning Niebaum. "That's why more than two dozen businesses and agricultural groups either based in Arkansas or with ties to the state supported Senator Lincoln's efforts to prevent EPA's overreach of regulatory powers."
The statement comes as the American Iron and Steel Institute filed a legal challenge Tuesday to the EPA's finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.
"We believe that climate change is a global problem that can only be addressed effectively on a global basis," Thomas J. Gibson, the association's president. "This must be the guiding principle if we are to actually lower CO2 emissions globally and do so without lessening the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers in the global marketplace."
"EPA's move to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act will not address the global dimension of the climate change issue, but will place significant new burdens on steel manufacturers in the United States," Gibson continued. "This will unilaterally raise our costs, while allowing our overseas competitors to continue to increase their emissions. The result would be no environmental gain, but significant additional economic pain, including further elimination of valuable American manufacturing jobs."
If you want to see the EPA's response to some of these criticisms, they're available online.

Juliet Eilperin is an environmental advocate. She is probably a Progressive Democrat too.
Obviously, she wouldn't have a job with the "Post Carbon Planet Panel" if she objectively reported on the Scam of Global Warming. Journalism is dead in America. The only thing we get now are advocates like Julie here. It is quite sad actually.

Geologists found that during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene eras (past 20,000 years) there was a sea level rise of 120 meters. That is about a quarter inch a year. At times the sea level rise was very rapid. This warming was not linked to carbon dioxide levels.
We need hydrocarbon fuels as they are 85% of the world's energy.

The ICIS Kavaler Award, sponsored by The Chemists' Club, is awarded each year to an executive who is recognized for outstanding achievement, as voted on by his peers.
History of the Award
The award is a revival of the Kavaler Award, which was presented by Chemical Market Reporter to leading chemical CEOs from 1990 to 1999, including Jon Huntsman Sr., founder, Chairman and CEO of Huntsman, and Frank Popoff, Chairman and CEO of Dow Chemical and and Robert Kennedy, Chairman of Union Carbide. Arthur Kavaler, who served for 46 years as reporter, editor and eventually publisher and editor-in-chief of Chemical Market Reporter – one of the three publications incorporated into ICIS Chemical Business – passed away at the age of 91 on January 18, 2012. Kavaler, a probing reporter and an editor with unwavering conviction, had a major impact on chemical industry journalism.
(Above: Arthur Kavaler, the award namesake, at the 1990 Kavaler Award Ceremony in New York City.)
Selection Process
In the award selection process, ICIS and The Chemists' Club invited each of the ICIS Top 40 Power Playersto vote for three individuals in that group, based on newsworthy achievement in one or more of the following categories:
- Profitability/shareholder value
- Mergers and acquisitions (deals or integration)
- Projects/capital investment
- Innovation – technology, product, business process with an impact on industry and society
