Before I visited Dr. Cordero's, I was experiencing severe lower back pain to point where I could barely sit for a short period of time. On my first visit, I was welcomed by an amazing staff who were very helpful. I then met Dr. Colón who laid out a very detailed plan and was ready to answer any of my questions. Within two weeks of treatment I was able to resume full activity pain free without any complications. I highly recommend anybody to visit Dr. Cordero's family Chiropractor, all ages.
They are amazing! Year ago lots of back pain. Now almost nothing. Went from three times a week to now once a month for management.
Awesome doctors! Wirh their hekp I am feeling better every day!

I have been to other chiropractors and I was happy with them until I came to Cordero Family Chiropractic. I love this place!! They are very welcoming, they make you feel like a family member, they care about you and explain everything in detail. The front desk staff (Carolina and Gabriela) are both amazing people, very friendly and always polite. The wait time is less than 5 minutes which in my opinion is rare when you go to a doctors office. I came with knee and neck pain, after a couple of weeks my knee was almost 100% better. My neck did take a little longer to heal but as of now I feel great! Did I say that I love this place? Highly recommended!!!

When I injured my Lower Back with my previous former employer Publix Supermarket. The Cordero Family Chiropractic office, took me under there wing and helped me fully recover from my injury. I had a long way to go, but I must say several weeks of treatments did wonders for my ailing back. These guys are the Best by far. ♡♡ Thank Dr. Francisco and Dr. Sebastian Colon. Muah!!!
Excelente servicio y profesionalismo. Me trataron como familia y ayudaron con mis problemas de espalda con mucha amabilidad.
This guys took care of my low back pain and introduce me into the wellness care. I go frequently and all my symptoms and problems have been taken care off. Good family practice thanks again.
My job as a Psychologist requires me to sit all day, with my regular chiropractic adjustment with Dr Colon I feel better, healthier and have more energy to work long hours without back pain. I recommend Cordero Family Chiropractic to any young professional.
CHIROPRACTIC WORKS! I have been under chiropractic care my entire life and have been seeing Dr. Colon for about 6 years. Everyone in the office is very loving, caring, and wants to help you achieve your health goals. If you are ready to make a change with your health, this is the place to be!
Cordero Family Chiropractic is a great office with caring loving people! Dr. Francisco is very knowledgeable and that only wants the best for all the patients. The staff (Leidis and Luisa) is great as well!! They work fast and they all offer a great loving service! Since I started my treatment I am a different person. My pains are gone, I sleep very well, I feel more energized, I do not get sick as often as before, and I am happy. Chiropractic really works and it helps you to have a fulfilling healthy life!!
This is a great family oriented chiropractic office. Dr. Colon has taught me about the ability of the body to heal itself and has made me aware of my body and power that lies within me. Thank you for your love and healing hands
Amazing staff
Been coming here for just over a month, the staff are fantastic the doctors are very good with explaining and creating a personal plan for each individual! So glad I came across them and happily recommend them to anyone's with any sorts of back or neck pain!
AWESOME, Athletic Improvement in my teenage son!
My youngest son has never been to a chiropractor before Dr. Sebastian and Dr. Francisco. The initial evaluation and consultation was spot-on. They were more thorough than any of the other back and/or spine specialists that we had ever seen. He has been playing tackle football, baseball and basketball for more than 10 years. Unfortunately, after he fractured his ankle through the growth plate years back, his one leg ended up shorter than the other. The specialist answer was to place an orthotic lift in his shoe or major surgery. Dr. Sabastian's answer was to adjust the musculoskeletal to bring balance to both sides. I'm happy to say it has been more than 6 weeks and it's been extraordinary to see his improvements. Others and I have seen how his game has improved while on the National 7on7 tour. We look forward to watching his 2018 season as his varsity squad's QB. We would definitely recommend both doctors to anyone that is seeking out chiropractic care. In addition, best of all, their beautiful, caring staff makes it all worth while. From start to finish, I promise, you won't be disappointed!
Cordero Family Chiropractic
Without telling Dr. Sebastian or Dr. Francisco Colon where my pain is at, they already know once being accessed. Everyone is treated like family...
By far the most ON THE SPOT adjustment and care. THANKS
Knowledgeable, efficient, thorough and friendly practice
Are you looking for an efficient and knowledgeable chiropractic practice? This is the one. You will meet two young energetic doctors who have a desire to learn more about their field and to pass some of that knowledge on to their patients. At each adjustment, they thoroughly check the spine and muscles so they know what they are up against before making the adjustment. I'm also impressed with the variety of techniques and technology they put into practice. This is something I haven't experienced with other chiropractors. The practice also comes with a friendly and efficient staff. Keep up the good work!
They have great reviews for a reason....
The doctors and staff have great reviews because: the office is beautiful, because their staff is amazing, because they have more technology than at my primary's office and because they care. The staff called me after my first adjustment to see how I was doing and to see if I had questions... SERIOUSLY WHO DOES THAT?! LOVE THEM!!
dont think about it any more, GO!
I have been a patient of Dr. Francisco for a couple of years now and I keep following him around because I really appreciate his approach and vast knowledge. However, Dr. Sebastian is also very knowledgeable and truly committed to delivering the best service. Both Doctors are very thorough, knowledgeable and constantly innovating their practices. One thing that I absolutely enjoy is the warmth and familiarity that their practice brings to the community! Always greeted by the front desk staff with a smile and a strong firm handshake or hug from the Doctors. If you have been searching for this kind of service/treatment, wait no more and make your appointment!
Great experience!
Location, facilities, TEAM are few things to mention about a great experience at Cordero Family Chiropratic. Thanks for the help! Highly recommended.
Super knowledgeable and through!
Had never been to a chiropractor before Dr. Francisco and Dr. Sebastian. Their exam was more complete than ANY of my physicians had ever done for my lingering spinal issues. Low back pain and headaches had plagued me since my car accident in 2010 and unfortunately never treated. Would definitely recommend this team of young doctors to anybody that is thinking about chiropractic care.
High quality service, caring,,elpful
I first came to Cordero Family Chiropractic when my own Dr couldn't find what was causing pain in my neck. I was having headaches that would prevent me from following through on my daily tasks. After a very thorough assessment and x-rays they found the cause. We started treatment right away and the pain and headaches started to subside. I would recommend them to anyone wanting releif from their pain.

I came alone this time, but I shall blog about this another day with a vlog (:
Follow me on instagram (@sophiachong) for instant updates!
I'm super tired now cos I only had 2 hours of sleep last night so I'll do a quick update ok?
Met Ser for awhile on Saturday afternoon for high-tea. Wanted her to try Plain Vanilla but it was closed so we ended up in Da Paolo Gastronomia @ Chip Bee Gardens! It's one of my favorite places for cakes cos they have awesome cheesecakes and tiramisu(i have yet to try many others but I know it's kickass for sure). They sell other stuff like pasta, starters, and italian meals' ingredients. What I like about Da Paolo Gastronomia besides the awesome cakes is that it has this laidback overseas ambience. The moment you step into the store, you instantly feel like you're overseas. And almost everything can be taken away (:

Met Vera, Ange and Kirk for dinner in town which we caught Ted (the movie) after that! Cute and mildly touching show but not the kind that makes you go ultimate "awwwwww".
We had dinner at Santouka, a Hokkaido ramen restaurant! For me, the ramen was mediocre. I still prefer the ones at Ippudo. However, the gyoza, edamamae and chawanmushi were really nice! Total bill was like $110 for the 4 of us so I guess that's quite alright for the amount of food we ordered.

They mean the world to me <3 of course kirk and alistair too.
We must be laughing at Kirk... you will see why.
Decked in sister's peplum crochet top, TJM's crochet black shorts, mum's LV bag, TJM's pointed flats!
Floral headband coming in TJM soon (:
Vera and Ange say they don't understand why girls like to smile like that cos they think it looks very coquettish but I think it's sexy leh. Ok, I guess it's just a fine line between sexy and flirtatious hahaha. But we decided to try out and boy......... we look nowhere near sexy. Me especially, cos I can't even wink properly which is why I need to help of one hand.
So... the joke of the night was................
I don't get him sometimes, but we all love him so much in spite of his eccentric behaviors.
Have a good night y'all. I'm so tired my brain is fried.

"Unfortunately, skyrocketing costs have put college education out of reach for many. By lowering our tuition, Prescott College is taking a principled stance against this trend," stated President Kristin Woolever.
Prescott, AZ (PRWEB) October 09, 2013
Prescott College has launched a major tuition and financial aid initiative. The Prescott Plan: Value, Honesty and Simplicity deals with the spiraling upward cost of private college education and the complexity around financial aid. For Fall 2014, new on campus undergraduate tuition will be reduced to $24,960 (a 11.8% decrease) and financial aid processes will be simplified and streamlined with a focus on need-based aid. "Unfortunately, skyrocketing costs have put college education out of reach for many. By lowering our tuition, Prescott College is taking a principled stance against this trend," stated President Kristin Woolever.
Though specifically addressing incoming Fall 2014 on campus new undergraduate students in regards to tuition cost, this initiative, The Prescott Plan, is a practical and sustainable way to address accessibility, affordability and social justice through structural changes in tuition and financial aid and exhibits that Prescott College continues in its groundbreaking tradition of exemplar practices in American higher education based in the liberal arts, the environment and social justice.
Tuition Reduction: Deeply rooted in Prescott College's desire to increase diversity and inclusion and make the unique Prescott College education accessible to a broader and deeper community, Prescot College will be reducing on campus undergraduate tuition and enhancing need based aid beginning with the Fall 2014 incoming class. Small class sizes and an award-winning experiential and practical based learning approach offers an option otherwise not available in Arizona or much of the Nation.
Simple and Transparent Financial Aid: Both merit and need based aid have been reworked so that negotiating cost will be a notion of the past and enhancing need based aid thus affording a private college education to more families. The practice of discounting tuition is difficult and complex for the average family to grasp plus it establishes a relationship of distrust between the family and the college---Prescott College is all about honest and fair relationships based in mutual understanding and cooperation. Basic, transparent, upfront formulas and calculators will be displayed on the website and in print which will clearly explain associated amounts of institutional aid each student may receive. Each incoming student will be able to clearly figure exactly what Prescott College will award for merit and need based institutional financial aid. In addition, many endowed scholarships are also available.
Value: The intensely personal, one-on-one Prescott College educational approach is proven to support the individual needs of students and families, creating lifelong learners who excel in their fields of study and in the world at large making a positive difference in a wide variety of interdisciplinary fields including graduates who have become a US Senator and a US Ambassador. In the spirit of our core commitment to social justice, The Prescott Plan puts this exemplary education within reach of a wider swath of students.
About Prescott College:
As a nationally acclaimed institution of higher education located in the central highlands of Arizona, Prescott College offers competency based programs in the liberal arts and professional disciplines with a focus on interdisciplinary and experiential education in six general areas: Environmental Studies, Human Development and Psychology, Education, Arts and Letters, Adventure Education and Cultural and Regional Studies. A private, non-profit, four year college, Prescott College offers Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees in an on-campus and limited residency format.

Zaha Hadid Architects has been shortlisted for this year's Stirling prize, awarded annually by the Royal Institute of British Architects to the building that has made the greatest contribution to British architecture in the past year.
Other projects in the shortlist include The Shard by Renzo Piano as well as Europe's largest public library by Mecanoo, Irish Firm O'Donnell + Tuomey's London School of Economics, as well as Feilden Clegg Bradley's extension to the Manchester School of Art and the new Everyman Theatre by Howorth Tompkins in Liverpool.
Stephen Hodder, RIBA president said this year's shortlist displays the poetry of public architecture adding that "the shortlist comprises no ordinary swimming pool, office block, theatre, library or university- they are beautiful, inspiring and transformative new buildings that their communities can relish and be proud of."
"This RIBA Stirling Prize shortlist is sending out the clear message that great buildings don't only need great architects and clients, but they need the patronage of the community they have been designed to serve if they are to be truly successful," he said.
"They are remarkably crafted buildings and the closer you look at their detail, both internally and externally, and their materiality, the more impressive they become."
Both Zaha Hadid and Feilden Clegg Bradley have won the prize before, while O'Donnell + Tuomey and Haworth Tompkins have both been previously nominated for the prize.

The cocoa beans are tested in ACOPAGRO's own lab, which contains a miniature chocolate factory so that the buyers' requirements for taste, aroma and acridity can be tried. This ensures a high quality of its fair trade and organic certified cocoa that complies with the directions from the buyers in the United States and Europe.
The farmers who deliver their produce to ACOPAGRO can be paid immediately thanks to the trade finance provided by Triodos Sustainable Trade Fund.

There are over 40,000 Cummins Westport natural gas engine-equipped vehicles performing cleanly and reliably today. Interest in natural gas engines is steadily growing throughout North America, with Cummins Westport natural gas engines widely recognized for their technological leadership in urban transit fleets. The ISL G combines all the advantages of clean burning natural gas with no compromise in power or torque. The ISL G uses Stoichiometric cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (SEGR) combustion to create the optimal combination of power, torque and low emissions levels. Stoichiometric combustion is the ideal ratio at which fuel and oxygen are both completely consumed.The oxygen free exhaust stream enables the use of our proprietary Three-Way Catalyst (TWC). This completely passive device never needs additional fluids, regeneration or cleaning, and takes the place of a conventional muffler. Fuel for the Cummins Westport ISL G can be stored on the vehicle as compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). The ISL G can also run on renewable natural gas (RNG) made from biogas or landfill gas that has been upgraded for vehicle fuel quality. The ISL G shares 80 percent of its heavy duty components with its diesel counterpart, the Cummins ISL9. This increases durability and reliability while reducing the overall ownership cost. The troubleshooting capabilities (using Cummins standard software and diagnostic tools) are also shared.Considering a Cummins engine purchase? For more information including pricing and additional technical information, please contact your Cummins representative. If you need help finding a representative, the Cummins Sales and Service Locator tool can help.

Big Changes at the Shop!
We're delighted to announce that our renovations are complete and there's now twice as much shopping fun at 1825 East Passyunk Avenue! Our shop neighbor, HOME, moved their design showroom and shop into the (big, secret) space behind the shop. They did such a beautiful job turning the previously underutilized area into a really lovely space. Our shop is unchanged, for the most part, though it may feel a tiny bit bigger as we moved our checkout counter back to create a bigger area for our selection of cards. Stop by to see the new space and fawn over all the pretty, shiny things to buy at HOME!

Foxtel iQ3 Personal Video Recorder
Foxtel, www.foxtel.com.au
Catch Up streaming, iOS remote scheduling
Most streaming content is standard-def
$125 plus $25 delivery or $75 installed
With a 1TB hard drive, the iQ3 has the capacity to record up to 172 hours of high-def content from subscription channels and free-to-air. You'll squeeze in 345 hours if you dial down the picture quality to standard-def. The box can record three channels at once, including one free-to-air channel. You can also perform time-bending tricks like pausing and rewinding live television or watching the start of a movie while you're still recording the end.
The Foxtel cable service rebroadcasts all the free-to-air channels, but some are missing for satellite subscribers. Thankfully, the iQ3 satellite box features an aerial jack on the back for tuning in to those missing free-to-air channels.
The iQ3's biggest advancement is tighter integration with Foxtel's streaming content. The new menus offer Netflix-style content discovery, offering recommendations based on your viewing habits, rather than leaving you to channel-flick.
Like the iQ2, the new iQ3 offers a 'Look Back' reverse EPG (electronic program guide), which lets you scroll back up to 24 hours in the on-screen guide to stream shows you've missed. Not every show is available, but it's far more comprehensive than the FreeviewPlus equivalent.
Look Back offers some high-def streaming if you're paying for the HD package. Foxtel recommends minimum download speeds of 3 Mbps for standard-def and 5 Mbps for high-def.
New to the iQ3 is 'Start Over'. If you tune in halfway through a movie or TV show, you can jump back to the start and watch it streamed from the internet in standard-def. You can even fast-forward through the advertisements until you catch up to the live broadcast. It's not available for every show. As with Look Back, a small play icon in the on-screen guide indicates that it's available to stream.
You can also use the iQ3's Anytime menu to search through the on-demand Catch Up library, watching shows available in your Foxtel package, but unfortunately all this content is also limited to standard-def. You can, however, rent high-def movies. All your streaming data is unmetered if Bigpond or Foxtel Broadband is your ISP.
As with Foxtel's old iQ2, it's possible to control the iQ3 using the Foxtel Go app for the iPhone and iPad. The free app works over Wi-Fi or mobile broadband, letting you change the channel on the iQ3 and schedule recordings (but not create a recurring Series Link). The app also grants you streaming access to the live channels in your Foxtel package, along with Catch Up content from those channels. You can't watch live free-to-air television, only the Foxtel channels.
The remote control features in the iOS app are handy when you're sitting on the couch and your iGadget is closer than the Foxtel remote. It's also handy when you're working in the next room while the kids watch TV. The iQ3's remote control relies on Bluetooth rather than infrared, so it should work around corners. Thankfully, the iQ3 box retains an IR (infrared) receiver, so it can still work with your universal remote control.
Along with the Foxtel Go app, there's also a Foxtel Guide app, which makes it easier to browse the entire program guide over the coming week. The app can also schedule recordings, including Series Links, and change the channel on the iQ3. If you live in a major city, the app lets you schedule recordings on free-to-air channels, but this option is missing for regional viewers.
Unfortunately, Foxtel hasn't added the ability to stream your iQ3 recordings to your handheld devices, like the rival Fetch TV box, but it's possible this feature could be added in the future.
Bottom line. If you're catering to the entertainment needs of a busy household, then it's certainly worth paying extra for an iQ3, so you can make the most of your Foxtel subscription. The slick iPhone and iPad apps are the icing on the cake. The only major disappointment is that only Look Back streaming is in high-definition, but hopefully this will improve with time.

Miles and Hazel had a pretty exciting school concert in August. They got all dolled up and shook it!
And, if you want to see the show (for the grandparents):
24 August 2014
It had been three years since our last trip to Peninsular Malaysia's East Coast, but it was always a place I wanted to return to. Here we were, Raya weekend again, and a driving trip seemed perfect for my parents' visit. It also kept up my 32 year streak of never having been on an airplane with them. Interesting! Tim was away, so it was the 5 of us crammed into the Civic at 4am leaving Penang for Lang Tengah ferry docks.
In truth, Lang Tengah wasn't even on my radar when I went to book this trip. I was thinking a return to Perhentians, for the gorgeous blue sea and laid back atmosphere. A month from the biggest holiday for Muslims in Malaysia, and everything was chocker block booked. No beds anywhere! A glance at a map and a recommendation from a friend and I located this tiny island just a bit south of the one I was searching for. Same water, and it had availability. Done!
Right, 6 hour drive from Penang. I won't lie – it was harrowing. For three hours I glued my light sensitive newly lasered eyes to the striping on the road every time another car drove past. The drive was silent with kids sleeping and my iron grip on the steering wheel. Thank goodness for Audible & books on tape! We made it in time for the ferry and we were off. It was an impressive boat, and full of holiday-makers. We landed at Lang Tengah 45 minutes later, and I took in the gorgeous water I had been hoping for. Double bonus, the sand was pure white and powder soft. Exhale.
First step: nap. It was an exhausting journey! Also, Hazel picking up the tradition of sleeping in a bathing suit to minimize the bed-to-sand time. I did this all the time as a kid. The room (and hotel in general) was pretty basic. The food was served buffet-style and was standard cafeteria fare, save for a few outstanding curries that popped up once in a while. We'd packed our own booze, but turned out the resort had Carlsburg, too.
Step 2: Sand! We rarely got beyond this step. It was perfect. The kids could play in it all day. They did in fact. Best beach toys include laundry soap scoops, yogurt buckets, and any rock/coral/shell we could find on the beach. There was no trash washing into the bay, and the extra coral was raked up each morning by the hotel staff. The 100ft of shore was just right.
And then? Snorkel! Can you find Miles and Grandpa Bob out exploring the rocks and reef right in front of the hotel? This was a perfect spot for a new snorkeler (Miles!) Tons of fish, pretty shallow, and some great rocks to explore. We did end up using water shoes or chacos to get out past the rocky shallows at low tide.
Step 4 (not shown): Ice Cream. Maybe a gin on the rocks. Hot afternoons need a treat.
Our resort ran a snorkeling trip every afternoon. We decided to try it out on our second day. Unfortunately, so did 50 other people. And there were 3ft waves coming off the mainland where a storm was brewing. I got a bit spooked by the boat bucking near the docks, so we decided to postpone a day. We went back to the beach, and had more ice cream. When we did go the next day, it was perfectly clear and the reef we visited was amazing! Miles described it perfectly – it was an underwater garden. I could have paddled around all day. We saw some special stuff; Mom saw a stingray and I spied a shark! Miles spent the whole time feeding the little fish bread from his fist. So fun, and truly a highlight.
We milked our holiday for as much as it was worth, even extending an extra half day from our planned departure. Whoops, Saturday after Hari Raya traffic. It took 8 hours to get home. Thank you again for audiobooks! We also stopped at a road side Oblong Burger stand. I'd never been to one, pretty good stuff actually! The kids did so well in the car, sleeping most of the way home and never whining or complaining at all. I'm ready to sign up for more road trips!
Once home, what do we do? Sort! I got laundry while Miles sorted shells. A wonderful and memorable trip, thank you Grandma Valerie & Grandpa Bob!!
21 August 2014
Our 10 weeks of visitors this summer finished Tuesday with the departure of Grandma Valerie and Grandpa Bob. We had a blast! Do I always say that? We did have a pretty good time.
And we went to an island together…more on that later.
18 August 2014
One of the great things about our apartment block is the garden. It's really a yard, a shared green space, but for all the foodstuffs that come out of it, we'll go ahead with the local terminology and call it a garden. So convenient and satisfying to go down to ride bikes and go up ready to spice up our dinner. Most of these plants are hidden behind decorative ones in the landscaping – not sure if it's for aesthetics or to keep the secret of free ingredients!

It was picture day at school and I'll tell ya, I don't envy that photographer. Getting these two kids to sit still for a snap was hard enough! I'll give you the winner first.

text: Demo tape from this new London band featuring at least one member of Good Throb. This actually reminds me a bit of the Good Throb 7"s in that the songs are very bass-led with the guitars kind of serving to accent parts of riffs. The drums also have that slightly off-kilter punk/post-punk sound, and the vibe taken as a whole is sort of like a modernized, more punk take on the DIY aesthetic of early Rough Trade bands like the Fall and Delta 5. Pretty much everything coming out of this London scene is straight fire, and this demo is no different. Highly recommended.

A 309Kb PDF of this article as it appeared in the magazinecomplete with imagesis available by clicking HERE
From the International Subcommittee: The wry humor of Ian Mallet of Australia makes his annual report on the evolution of aviation navigation innovation both informative and fun. One of his highlights was how the tremendous potential cost/fuel/ pollution benefits of GNSS landing systems has been pitted against noise mitigation, and how in one example in Brisbane, the noise side may be winning. From Dr. Thomas Porathe of Swedish academia, a session called 3D Nautical Charts: Cognitive Off-Loading Using Egocentric Presentation Model was not so inaccessible as the title made it sound. A case study of a maritime collision between a vessel and a bridge pier in San Francisco Bay was used as a problem statement for a study of how best for an operator to interface with navigation displays and positions (GNSS included) to gain an optimal a priori assessment of hazards. Tests were done with 2D maps, north-up maps, 3D maps, and other options one might even see on a car navigation device. Factors like experience with navigation and even age were taken into account. To no surprise, a 3D view seems to provide the best results. Full presentations and reports of this and other CGSIC presentations can be found at: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=CGSIC51stAgenda
The States and Localities sub-committee session were quite northwest centric this year, but a good indicator of the kind of activities going on around the country. These sessions included "Inertially Aided Post-Processed Kinematic for Nautical Charting Survey" an example project along the Columbia River with some excellent statistical analyses from David Evans Associates, and more from both sides of the river - Multimodal GNSS from Kurt Iverson of the Washington State Department of Transportation, RTN establishment guidelines from Jim McLeFresh of Spokane County, Asset inventory management and an RTN update from the Oregon Department of Transportation.
Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) is not possible without the timing component, and Timing is always a large, albeit somewhat esoteric part of CGSIC and ION. Hidden to many, this world of timing actually touches many more globally than positioning or navigation; nearly everything we do with electronic communications, internet, and information technology is timed and synchronized by an international system of clocks that almost rightly belong in the realm of science fiction. Scientists and academia worldwide have managed to sync time to nano and picoseconds. GNSS has played a major role as the vehicle (literally) for delivering time worldwide in the form of the atomic clocks in the GNSS satellites. Worldwide synchronization is about to take another leap forward; VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry), much like that which is used to align tracking of GNSS satellites, will very soon be used to sync over oceans to pico seconds; something GNSS cannot quite do. And within contiguous land masses, fiber optics may be the choice for this picosecond level sync. There are few applications that directly need picoseconds so GNSS will remain as the mechanism for delivering the time worldwide at the end use level.
Good news as usual from the GPS Wing during the plenary sessions on the second day; the enhanced 24+3 satellite constellation deployment announced last year is performing better than expected, satellite modernization is on schedule, the OCX (modernization of the ground control segment of GPS) is on track for full deployment in 2015, evaluations of the Atlas V are looking promising for upcoming dual satellite launch and most important of all; there are still no user fees for using GPS signals (not that anyone has seriously proposed as such). On the latter, Lt Col. Jennifer Grant, Commanding Officer, Second Space Operations Squadron quipped while presenting and all-good-news operations and performance report that if the estimated 2 billion users worldwide of GPS were to have paid 1 cent each time they acquired signal from GPS that "we would have no debt". There is a sense that the average end user takes for granted the benefits of this dual use system. GPS is possibly the only weapons system that has direct benefit for civilian uses; as long as the military can realize benefits from the system, then the costs are in some ways already buried for the civilian users. Many see the military operation of the constellation as particularly appropriate; Raymond Clore, senior GPS advisor, U.S. Department of State quipped that the military are best suited for the job, citing "technical expertise, working 24/7, and never going on strike". The military continues to reap benefits from encoded elements of GPS, and though there have been a few isolated calls from industry to do things like drop the encryption of the P Code, this is generally viewed as a non-starter and several of the military present offered "we rely on it too much". Offline, PNT officials explained that if the constellation did not serve fully as dual use, then what would stop some from calling for users fees (which the Europeans have found is an impractical model for the Galileo project).
The Russians have trod a parallel path with U.S. with respects to their dual use GLONASS constellation. This year's all-thumbs-up GLONASS constellation update was presented by Ekatarina Olyenik Information Service & International Relations Specialist, Roscosmos' Central Research Institute and protégé of Sergey G. Revnivykh, Director, Satellite Navigation Dept., GLONASS Mission Control, also present. In addition to the update, the very measured and professional Ms. Olyenik demonstrated the updated online feedback website, and reiterated the firm commitment, codified by the Russian Government in 2005, that the constellation continue always as free of user fees, mandatory use for some government functions, with funding commitments for GLONASS as critical infrastructure. Offline both Ekatarina and Sergey spoke enthusiastically about the efforts to foster more commercial uses and industry for the system. There have even been commercial operations successfully spun off from the layers of space administration. When asked if funding of GLONASS is dependent in any way on the expectations for commercialization success of GLONASS related industries, Sergey explained that the funding is solid as this is critical infrastructure for dual uses.
The annual NGS CORS forum gave program updates for OPUS, the new multi-year solution but also a very informative session on absolute antenna calibrations, something for which the NGS is approaching with renewed emphasis: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pdf/cgsicMeetings/51/23_abscal_CORS_forum2011.pdf. The NGS crew on hand were asked what contingencies they have for the CORS system and its role in the operation and maintenance of OPUS and the National Spatial Reference Framework should the CORS be compromised by a substantial source of interference. They stated clearly that, considering resources and technology that there was no viable contingency.
On the subject of interference detection in general, John Merrill, PNT program manager for the Department of Homeland Security the data format and web interface for the Patriot Watch reporting system: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pdf/cgsicMeetings/51/29_ION_CGSIC_September_2011.pdf. Interference, while somewhat limited and isolated to date is a serious concern, and it is great to see a system for nationwide situational awareness. How this will information will eventually be available to end users in real-time and by what means has yet to be developed, but this is a great start. The session did prompt some obvious questions as to the legality of those little jammer devices one can find online (so far mostly used by a very few truckers to cover their GPS tracks). The Australians indicated that such devices were completely illegal down under. There have also been recent developments on the crackdown on such devices in the U.S.: http://www.gps.gov/policy/interference/jamming/
Situational awareness, efforts to broaden the public's knowledge of GPS matters and to provide useful information to the end user communities is an ongoing effort of national PNT officials. A virtual tour on the revitalized web offerings of www. pnt.gov and www.gps.gov (which may be merged into one site: gps.gov) was given by Jason Kim Senior Advisor National Coordination Office for Space-Based PNT (I know, the titles are exhausting). Jason and crew have done a great job and are eager for feedback and suggestions for the site; take www.gps.gov for a spin!
But as mentioned earlier, there were omnipresent murmurs thought the proceedings with regards to the current GPS and broadband spectrum issue. A great example of this was the eagerly anticipated report on the recent FCC ordered testing of the original upper band proposal (re: the FCC conditional waiver DA 11-133). Col. Robert Hessin from the National Coordination Office for Space-Based PNT gave an overview of the testing process, the parties involved, criteria for testing, and the results which did reveal substantial interference for GPS devices pretty much across the board.
A crowded room at ION a few days later followed a similar discussion, but none of the frank discussions seemed to completely calm the fears of many who attended; simply because there is still the specter of a possible eventual move to the upper band, susceptible to the interference that the previous tests had shown. Despite this concern, and the storm (of sorts) that has been brewing all year and whatever outcome awaits us, conferences such as CGSIC and ION continue to evidence the enduring strength of "whole" of GPS/GNSS.

Kim So Hyun admits she felt a ghost's presence on the set of Let's Fight Ghost
Kim So Hyun is a believer!
The 17 year-old actress was recently interviewed about her role as ghost Hyun Ji in the spooky series Let's Fight Ghost. Kim openly admitted that prior to her supernatural role, she didn't believe ghosts actually existed. The chilling show quickly converted her.
"I didn't believe in ghosts but once I started filming for the drama, I think I came to believe in them. For the first time ever, I felt a ghost's presence while shooting this drama."
Even though she plays a ghost who has been dead for five years, Kim So Hyun decided to focus on a more positive aspect of her on-screen character. "I'm a ghost [in the drama] but I don't really seem like a ghost so I didn't prepare any special 'ghost-like acting.' I'm a ghost who can talk aloud during class so I tried to express the freedom I have. I'm acting more like a special girl who can teleport rather than acting like a ghost."
Also, the young star explained that her past "cheerful" roles always placed a spotlight on their "painful situations", but Hyun Ji gives her the golden opportunity to showcase a carefree personality. "This time, despite being a ghost, my character is bright and uninhibited so I'm having fun acting her out."
It seems Kim So Hyun loves her current role so much! She is so into her Hyun Ji role that the star is literally getting in touch with the other realm! Did Let's Fight Ghost make you believe in ghosts too? Would you want to see Kim So Hyun take on another supernatural production in the future?

Like it or not, minivans have been getting a bad rap among car buyers for years. Which is where three-row crossover SUVs like the Honda Pilot come in. With a strong V6 under the hood, respectable handling and a versatile, comfort-oriented interior with seating for up to eight passengers, the midsize Pilot offers much of the people- and cargo-hauling practicality that comes with parking a minivan in your garage, without the incalculable "Gee, I hope no one sees me driving this" shame that seems to afflict some minivan owners.
While the Honda Pilot has spawned a long line of imitators over the past 14 years, its third-generation still offers many strengths. That said, it is not without its faults, which include a quirky nine-speed automatic transmission on the top Touring and Elite trim levels and overly sensitive advanced safety features such as automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning and intervention that come as part of the optional Honda Sensing system. An infotainment system with less than user-friendly controls is also a minor annoyance.
Just the same, we've been impressed enough with this latest Honda Pilot's overall comfort, handling and refinement to recommend it to anyone shopping for a three-row crossover.
Current Honda Pilot
The current Honda Pilot is offered in five trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and top-of-the-line Elite. Seating for eight is standard on the LX, EX, EX-L and Touring, while the Elite model gets a pair of second-row captain's chairs that drop capacity to seven passengers.
All Pilots come with the same 280-hp 3.5-liter V6 under the hood; a six-speed automatic transmission is standard on LX, EX and EX-L models, while Touring and Elite versions get a nine-speed automatic. A choice of front- or all-wheel drive is offered on all models except the Elite which is all-wheel-drive only.
Even the entry-level LX comes well equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, a three-person second-row seat and a 60/40-split folding third-row seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, a 5-inch center-mounted display, a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity and a seven-speaker sound system, an auxiliary audio input jack and a USB port.
The EX adds a long list of desirable extras including automatic headlights, foglights, LED running lights, heated mirrors, remote engine start, tri-zone automatic climate control, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat, a larger 8-inch central touchscreen, dynamic guidelines for the rearview camera, Honda's LaneWatch blind-spot camera, smartphone integration including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and an upgraded seven-speaker sound system with satellite radio, Pandora internet radio and two extra USB ports. The EX-L starts with much the same content then adds leather upholstery, a sunroof, a power tailgate, a four-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated front seats and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Both are available with navigation or a rear-seat DVD video entertainment system (but not both). The Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety features, including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic braking, and a lane departure warning and intervention system, is offered as an option on both top-level trims.
Stepping up to the Touring models gets you all the above plus 20-inch alloy wheels, a nine-speed automatic transmission, automatic engine stop-start, front and rear parking sensors, roof rails, driver-seat memory settings, ambient interior lighting, noise-reducing acoustic glass and a 10-speaker sound system.
The top-drawer Elite trim level adds LED headlights with automatic high-beam control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a panoramic sunroof, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain's chairs, a heated steering wheel and HD radio.
No matter which Honda Pilot trim level you choose, you'll get a moderately sized crossover with strong acceleration, confident handling and an exemplary ride quality. All-wheel-drive models even offer mild off-road capabilities and a maximum tow rating of 5,000 pounds (front-wheel-drive versions are rated to tow 3,500 pounds).
Inside there's seating for eight (the seven-passenger Elite model being the exception) in three rows, with relatively easy entry and exit. Overall room and comfort earn high marks, though it should be noted that — like many of its competitors — the Pilot's third-row seats are not particularly adult-friendly.
All of these positive traits make the current Honda Pilot a fine way to get around, whether you're headed across town or across the country. Still we'd like to see Honda's engineers tweak the nine-speed automatic transmission for smoother operation and make its advanced safety features — which tend toward harsh intervention — a little less intrusive in everyday driving. Our other main criticism is reserved for the infotainment system that uses touch-sensitive switches instead of traditional knobs, a design choice that can prove aggravating, especially when the vehicle is in motion.
Ultimately, though, we find the current Honda Pilot's combination of above-average ride and handling, interior room, and long list of desirable standard features and options to be compelling enough that we think it compares favorably with any seven- or eight-passenger crossover on the market.
Used Honda Pilot Models
The current third-generation Honda Pilot was introduced for the 2016 model year. In addition to a new top-of-the-line Elite trim level with seven-passenger seating, Honda engineers and designers gave this new model a nicely updated and noticeably more refined interior with better-quality materials and improved visibility. There's also more space inside, including additional head- and legroom in the third row, though access to the way-back seat is still on the tight side. There are also more storage spaces to hold the necessities of modern life. The new 8-inch touchscreen adds to the dash's classy look and includes all the latest must-have features (except traditional knobs), but its function lags that of similar units in competing models. A more powerful V6 and a significant weight reduction all contribute to making this latest Pilot ride like a luxury car and drive like a somewhat smaller vehicle than its dimensions might suggest.
For 2017, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration was added to the EX and the trim levels above (those with an 8-inch touchscreen). Otherwise, Honda hasn't made any major changes to the third-generation Pilot.
The second-generation (2009-'15) Honda Pilot debuted for the 2009 model year and represented a huge change from the vehicle it replaced. There was more usable interior space and Honda's latest selection of features and interior controls, but in terms of character it was more trucklike. This generation spent its first three years essentially unchanged, though it should be noted that we find the '09-'11 Pilots hard to recommend because of their disappointing braking performance, so-so fuel economy and confusing layout of dashboard controls. With that in mind, we suggest buyers looking at this second-generation Pilot concentrate on the 2012 through 2015 models.
The first-generation (2003-'08) Pilot was introduced for the 2003 model year, making this Honda one of the first midsize crossover SUVs available with a third-row seat. A 240-hp 3.5-liter V6, matched to a five-speed automatic transmission, was the only available power source. From 2003-'05, all Pilots sold had all-wheel drive; a front-wheel-drive version was offered starting in 2006..
Honda originally offered the Pilot in three trim levels: LX, EX and EX-L. The Pilot LX came with a respectable collection of convenience features, while the EX added upgrades including a power driver seat and automatic climate control. The EX-L had leather seating and could be ordered with an optional navigation system or a rear-seat entertainment system. Alas, the nav and entertainment systems couldn't be ordered together.
Changes for this generation Pilot were minor, though some important safety features became more readily available as the years went on. For 2005, the V6 was revised, and horsepower increased to 255. This was also the year that stability control became available, but only on the EX-L.
In 2006, some minor changes were made to the Honda Pilot's exterior design. The adoption of revised engine certification procedures also saw this model year's horsepower rating dropped to 244, but performance was unaffected. ABS and front-seat side airbags were always standard on Honda's midsize SUV, but 2006 models gained a three-row side curtain airbag system with a rollover sensor. Honda also made stability control standard on all Pilots for this model year. For the final model year, the LX trim was replaced by the Value Package, and a new SE trim debuted that slotted above the EX and added a sunroof and DVD player.
In reviews, we found the original Honda Pilot to offer good handling and a smooth ride for a midsize SUV. We also enjoyed its well-organized instrumentation and the quality of interior materials — both hallmarks of Honda. Although seating accommodated seven to eight passengers, we considered the third row uncomfortable for adults. Cargo capacity, on the other hand, was always sufficient to handle what most families required.

A masterpiece of English medieval art reproduced for the first time
The Getty Apocalypse exemplifies the best of the English school of the mid-13th century, and is an exceptional artistic achievement. Over 80 magnificent miniatures set in succession above the text create a glorious sequence of divine revelation, leading the viewer through John's poetic, dramatic vision of the Apocalypse. These are amongst the finest of medieval miniatures: exquisitely delineated in tinted colour embellished with gold and silver leaf. Each shows the hand of a master artist possessed of an unerring sense of composition, a wonderful understanding of colour, and a rare ability to express emotion through gesture and expression. Some manuscripts are more lavish in their use of gold, others are larger, or more idiosyncratic, but none can equal the unique combination of features found in the Getty.

Chapter 10 Summary
Pony walked down the hall in a daze. He had to walk home because Dally had taken the car. Pony pretended Johnny hadn't died, that he was just somewhere else. Pony wandered for hours in his confused state. A man pulled over and asked him if he needed a ride. He asked Ponyboy if he was alright. Pony said he was ok. The man told Pony that his head was bleeding. The man asked his address and drove him home.
The rest of the gang was in the living room when Pony got home. They were all beat up and bandaged. Darry asked where Pony had been and what was wrong. Pony told everyone that Johnny was dead.

|In the past I've opened up my calendar more to chat with folks - I realize that I was opening myself up to that Forrest Gump "box of chocolates" thing - 'you never know what you're gonna get'..
While there have been some interesting conversations, now I realize that sometimes people won't value your time as much as you do.
Out of a dozen appointments there's about 25% no show, or "oh, sorry - I forgot.."
So, I thought about requiring a refundable deposit. You show, you get your $50 or so back. If not, I keep it..
Yes, it'll put off some people. But I think it'll also weed out the time wasters..
Just curious what your experiences have been with offering "free initial consults"..

|There's nothing quite like "having skin in the game" to know if people want what you have. Even if you charge a small amount, like $4.95, or even $1.00, you'll be able to weed out those who really want what you offer from those who sign up on a whim but aren't customers. You want buyers, not lookie-loos, so having to pay up front gives you those.

|When I've worked on business valuations, I would never start work without them providing their financials / tax returns AND a nonrefundable deposit of $500.
No one ever argued with this policy. My price wasn't cheap, but most of these folks knew that they weren't going to get anyone to even look at their business for less than $3000-5000.

|Pay up front and get your money back after the fact is a popular model.
There are a number of conferences that will charge an entrance fee and give full money back if they attend the whole session. It is understood there will be a pitch at the end.
I have experimented with both a lot with my Meetups. I have made them free and I have charged for them. I get a smaller but better attendance when I charge. Offering them for free people walked in completely unprepared.
I have settled on charging a fee.
I tell prospects they can pay me $500 for a 2-ish hour consult. If they decide to hire me the money becomes a deposit. If they are not completely happy I give them a full refund.
Prices and times will vary. Charge up front or you are wasting your time, imho.

andThe Ruins of Azlant Adventure Path begins with your characters standing on the deck of a ship after a long voyage to a newly founded colony called Talmandor's Bounty on an island in what is left of Azlant.
I do seem to recall this to be discussed already elsewhere, but this sounds inspired by pulp fiction tales of discovering lost continents, which could be a fitting alternative to everybodies favorite Island (of Dread). Admittedly, a colony is a new take, but then, why not. I am very interested to see where this runs to.Now is your chance to not only establish a foothold in this fabled and broken land, but also to potentially uncover valuable lost lore once held by one of history's most powerful and enigmatic cultures.

Analyst Downgrades Cablevision, Sharply Criticizes Loss of COO
BTIG's Rich Greenfield says he "would not be comforted" by CEO Jim Dolan taking a larger operational role and admits "we screwed up sticking to our 'buy' rating."
NEW YORK - BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield on Tuesday downgraded his stock rating on cable operator Cablevision Systems from "buy" to "neutral" in an acerbic note.
"We screwed up sticking to our 'buy' rating, now it's time for [CEO] Jim Dolan to fess up," he wrote.
Greenfield suggested that some conflict between Dolan and former COO Tom Rutledge, who last week announced his surprise departure and on Monday emerged as new CEO of Charter Communications, must have rattled the company.
"We have long-held that the Dolans never got the respect they deserved for hiring Tom Rutledge," Greenfield wrote. "However, the chain of the events over the past 18 months, culminating in Rutledge's departure, increasingly worry us as we dig into what actually happened. We are even beginning to wonder whether Cablevision is going to replace Rutledge at all."
What if Jim Dolan, son of company founder and chairman Charles Dolan, took on a larger role? "Given Mr. Dolan's interests outside of Cablevision (including two other public companies, AMC Networks and MSG, with MSG set for a brutal carriage battle with Time Warner Cable), along with his band (JD and the Straight Shots), we would not be comforted by Dolan taking a meaningfully larger operational role at Cablevision," Greenfield said.
"We also find it hard to believe the company will be able to find a talented operating executive to join until the "whole story" surrounding Rutledge and [another top executive's] departures becomes clear," he added.
Greenfield lashed out further and demanded a meeting with the Dolan family that controls Cablevision.
"We also do not really know Jim Dolan, as the company has completely shielded our access to him for years," he said. "We would very much like to sit down with Chuck and Jim Dolan before year-end 2011, to understand what happened with Rutledge and what their plans are for Cablevision's operations in 2012."
Greenfield said he would love to believe that the management departures at Cablevision would spur the Dolans to put the company up for sale. But he concluded: "We believe the Dolans are not interested in selling the cable division and are focused on improving operational performance and resuscitating their stock price."
Greenfield's conclusion on the stock: "Without fully understanding the Rutledge situation, no clarity on whether there will actually be a replacement to Rutledge and how a new COO's duties will be defined versus Jim Dolan and a meaningful reduction in 2012 free cash flow forecasts, we simply cannot continue to rate Cablevision a buy."

The Characters is a sort of sketch comedy Masters of Horror, where each episode a different comedian will have a half hour to indulge in whatever weird ideas they come up with.
The Characters features Lauren Lapkus (Orange Is The New Black, Jurassic World), Kate Berlant (The Meltdown), Dr. Brown (Dr. Brown), Paul W. Downs (Broad City), John Early (Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp), Tim Robinson (SNL), Natasha Rothwell (Writer, SNL) and Henry Zebrowski (The Wolf of Wall Street).
Netflix is touting this as hot new comedy talents given complete creative control. It's the streaming service's second foray into original sketch comedy, after last year's With Bob & David.
The Characters premieres March 11. In the meantime, check out the trailer.
