Last spring we were too busy working inside the house to get to the severely neglected yard. This year, as soon as it got warm we got to work. We staked out and broke ground on the garden which I'll cover more in a future post. While the boys were busy with the pick ax and shovel, I got to work on the roses. I think someone planted them five years ago and then forgot about them. They were in bad shape.
There are 4 rose bushes, two of which we thought might be dead. Completely choked out by weeds, leaves and over run by grass, we seriously considered chaining them to the truck and ripping them out. But then, I'd still have to do the weeding and buy new roses. I wanted to keep this project at 20 dollars, so replacing five rose bushes wasn't going to work. My husband used the weed eater and dug in as deep as he could. We had to buy new pruners (8 dollars) and he went to work clipping. Then it was my turn. I pulled out all the weeds, crab grass and ridiculous amounts of other rouge vegetation, (as well as large rocks, roots, chunks of wood and some buried garbage. Really?)
Once the ground was mostly cleared I needed to find a way to keep the weeds from coming back. They have landscape fabric at the hardware store but one roll would take me over budget. Forty years ago, before they had landscape fabric, they used thickly laid newspaper. It keeps the weeds down and lets the water in. Works for me. So, off to the paper recycle bin! I grabbed enough newspaper for the job, (sorry, didn't get a picture of myself dumpster diving) and laid it down using broken bricks and slab pieces from a walkway we're taking up to hold it in place.
I needed rocks to line the edging and luckily, I had a small pile of good size rocks waiting. Half of them we actually found buried after we cleared the area. With the newspaper down and the area lined with rocks it was off to the hardware store to buy mulch which just happened to be on sale 5 bags for 10 dollars. Yes! Five bags did the trick.
Here's what the finished rose bed looks like.
They have blossomed like crazy in the last two days since being cut back and even the one we swore was dead is starting to bloom.
Best of all, I came in 2 dollars under budget, having spent only 18 dollars to revive this area of the yard. Now to haul away all the crud we dug up and work on the crab grass/lawn.

Waukegan police and federal drug agents seized 16.5 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and about $2,000 from two men during an undercover drug buy in the northern suburb, police said today.
Authorities say the two men -- one 29, the other 28 -- were trying to set up a meth distribution point in Waukegan.
On Thursday, undercover officers met with the two men who wanted to sell 10 pounds of the drug, police said in a statement. Police arrested the men when they met them near Green Bay Road and Washington Street.

Goddess Amanda is a fun mistress that loves to be out and about socializing. She also loves to wear her high heeled boots that are super expensive. She will go into her favorite bar, because she is going to call her slave to join her. The slave will be on the ground to clean her boots, because she hates her loser slave and thinks he is pathetic.
Miss Beverly is a mistress that takes great pride in beating ass. She has always loved to do things to slaves that are not only humiliating, but they are also so painful. She will get out her riding crop, because she is going to take her whipping crop and beat her slave's ass. She will do it till he is crying and begging her to stop.
Four girls are going to totally brutalize a slave with their humiliation and their spit. They will take turns on the slave by leaning over the top of him and letting very long drops of spit into this mouth. The slave has no choice but to swallow every last drop of the spit no matter how gross it might be. They are so amused at the slave.
Lady Shayla and Lady Divina are two mistresses that love to have fun together, but also torture slaves. They think it's so funny to do shitty things to their slave. One of the things that is their favorite thing to do is walk and kick their slave. Putting on their high heeled boots, then walking on their slave is considered pretty darn brutal for a slave.
Lady Milena loves her spiked boots and relaxing. She thinks it's great to have some fun, but also have her slave over so that he can clean up her boots and anything else she has walked in. That can get really messy, but she doesn't seem to care. She is a hardcore mistress that loves to get her slaves just a dirty as she is.
Sara Castro is a pretty mistress, but she loves to have her friends join in the fun. She thinks spitting is a great way to show a slave that he is little to nothing when it comes to letting the spit fly on his face. She is going to have all of her friends take turns on the slave telling him what a fucking loser he is.
Felicia is a stunning beauty, but what most would not realize is the horrible odor of her socks and her feet. That is why having a slave is so nice. After her shift at Hooter's she is going to have her slave over, so that he can clean her feet and socks. He must worship her feet no matter how gross they might smell after her work.
Miss Elise is a mistress that is very extreme. She has a love for hardcore ballbusting, and she loves to make sure her slave feels the worst pain ever. During this hardcore beating, she will also humiliate him to the point he is ready to cry. Miss Elise loves to kick the shit out of her slave and humiliate him while she is looking so sexy.
Jordan Star and Lady Chantal wanted to teach this guy a lesson to respect ladies. They took him and stripped him naked. They tied his cock and pulled at the string. They also placed the dick on a glass table and then trampled on it with their high heels. They did not care about the pain. They wanted him to learn his lesson the hard way so that he will not repeat it.

Bulgaria's top archaeologists reacted strongly to an article on Thracian heritage in the National Geographic latest issue, saying it aims to discredit the country and drive foreigners away.
The article, entitled "Bulgaria's Gold Rush", says that the country's rich history left artifacts that now mean money in the bank for anyone who succeeds in digging them up. "For looters, Bulgaria is El Dorado, a vast trove of buried treasure where some graves have harbored gold since at least 4000 B.C.," the National Geographic wrote.
"I am deeply displeased by the article," said Nikolai Ovcharov, featuring wrongly in the article as "Bulgaria's Indiana Jones. Ovacharov joined a press conference of some of the country's most prominent archaeologists, who denounced publicly the article. "Were I a foreigner, I would not have made anything of it. The article is meant to drive away, rather than attract foreigners."
The true Indiana Jones of Bulgaria, archaeologist Georgi Kitov, was reportedly so distressed by the article that he could not make it to the press conference.
"Kitov is presented as a controversial figure, both a hero and a criminal," Ovcharov commented.
According to the archaeologists the article turns a blind eye to the significance and nature of the ancient Thracian culture.
They are still considering whether to file an official complaint to the National Geographic magazine main office and demand a new article on Bulgaria's ancient Thracian heritage is published.

During execution, Gateway and Apex generate event log records that provide an audit trail. This can be used to understand the activity of the system and to diagnose problems. Usually, the event log records are stored into a local file system and later can be used for analysis and diagnostic.
Gateway also provides an universal ability to pass and store Gateway and Apex event log records to 3rd party sources. You can use external tools to store the log events and also to query and report. For this you must configure the logger appender in the Gateway configuration files.
Configuring Logger Appenders
Gateway and Apex Client processes run on the machine node where the Gateway instance has been installed. Therefore, you can configure the logger appenders using the regular log4j properties (datatorrent/releases/3.9.0/conf/dtgateway.log4j.properties).
Following is an example of log4j properties configuration for Socket Appender:
You can use the regular attribute property "apex.attr.LOGGER_APPENDER" to configure the logger appenders for Apex Application Master and Containers. This can be defined in the configuration file dt-site.xml (global, local, and user) or in the static and runtime application properties.
Use the following syntax to enter the logger appender attribute value:
Following is an example of logger appender attribute configuration for Socket Appender:
<property> <name>apex.attr.LOGGER_APPENDER</name> <value>tcp;log4j.appender.tcp=org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender, log4j.appender.tcp.RemoteHost=logstashnode1, log4j.appender.tcp.Port=5400, log4j.appender.tcp.ReconnectionDelay=10000, log4j.appender.tcp.LocationInfo=true </value> </property>
Integrating with ElasticSearch and Splunk
You can use different methods to store event log records to an external data source. However, we recommend to use the following method:
Gateway and Apex can be configured to use Socket Appender to send logger events to Logstash and Logstash can deploy event log records to any output data sources. For instance, the following picture shows the integration workflow with ElasticSearch and Splunk.
Following is an example of Logstash configuration:
input { getting of looger events from Socket Appender log4j { mode => "server" port => 5400 type => "log4j" } } Filter{ transformation of looger events to event log records mutate { remove_field => [ "@version","path","tags","host","type","logger_name" ] rename => { "apex.user" => "user" } rename => { "apex.application" => "application" } rename => { "apex.containerId" => "containerId" } rename => { "apex.applicationId" => "applicationId" } rename => { "apex.node" => "node" } rename => { "apex.service" => "service" } rename => { "dt.node" => "node" } rename => { "dt.service" => "service" } rename => { "priority" => "level" } rename => { "timestamp" => "recordTime" } } date { match => [ "recordTime", "UNIX" ] target => "recordTime" } } output { elasticsearch { putting of event log records to ElasticSearch cluster hosts => ["esnode1:9200","esnode2:9200","esnode3:9200"] index => "apexlogs-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}" manage_template => false } tcp { putting of event log records to Splunk host => "splunknode" mode => "client" port => 15000 codec => "json_lines" } }
ElasticSearch users can use Kibana reporting tool for analysis and diagnostic. Splunk users can use Splunkweb.

Tech Support Adwords Campaign

I am all set to start my Tech Support Process for USA and Canada, Just wish to know what are the policies updated by Google so that i can make necessary changes in my website and can actually keep my campaign up and running .

Hi SMT,
Thank you for your posting. For questions about ensuring your company's products/services in compliance with Google Adwords, please visit the Adwords Policy Center link.
Re: Tech Support Adwords Campaign
October 2013
I agree to your point. Google has taken action against such so called tech support companies. But, the point here is that Google has treated all tech support companies like in a same manner and suspended all accounts (Except 2-3 companies and they are still running). Now there are few questions on this:
1) Why these companies are still able to run their campaign on adwords while Google has restricted the whole tech support campaigns. As far as the policy compliance, these companies are still using "Hotmail Customer Support" Or "Contact Hotmail Support" as their ads title. I am sure that this is against the policy.
2) What is the critria for distinguishing between a legitimate and fake tech support companies.
There are few companies that provide genuine technical support but they have been suspended by Google due to other scams.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks a lot.
About the answer related to the question why some companies are still running like for which the names can't be revealed, is that these companies are not dependent only on SEM's to run there business
Re: Tech Support Adwords Campaign
October 2013
Abhilash is a friend working for Google Inc. although i am here to answer this question as i have been following up with him closely.
As of now there are not just one or two companies but lot more which are successfully running the business, but yes you can say that, only those companies who have their strong physical presence in United States or in the Country for which they are running their Ad words campaign are able to sustain in the business.
Simple reason for the same is Last time around a year ago when Federal Trade Commission came to India and shut down 9 companies and ceased their Assets, they had to go through with the lot of legal hassles, and certainly it is not possible for such commission to Visit India every time to take down few scammers, so they made sure that companies who are running the Tech Support business if their Counter parts are available in US and takes the responsibility, for all the operations in india they do not have any problem in letting the business run.
Re: Tech Support Adwords Campaign
October 2013
Well when I had a discussion with a Google Rep. on 25 Oct, he revealed the fact to me that Google is now not allowing tech support business model for advertise anymore... he confirmed me that the issue is Tech Support business model, not even the country. To answer my queries he further said that it doesn't matter if the business is located in USA either but if it is a remote technical support (where you are not interacting with customer directly face to face) so it is totally band and restricted now. But if a company provide support directly from its location say from office where customer can reach directly so it is allowed.
Now I don't know what the other companies are doing I mean if they have their physical support office in USA or not but as far as I know almost all tech support companies work remotely. yes, some of them registered their business in USA but I don't think any of them provide manual or onsite support to the customers. Else GOD knows better but if the Google's term says Tech Support business model is not allowed then every company should be down regardless they are big or not...!!! AND IF GOOGLE IS DOING PARTIALITY FOR ANY REASON THEN GOOGLE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT ONLY 2-3 COMPANIES CAN'T PAY THEM ENOUGH AMOUNT IN COMPARISON OF ALL TECH SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS PAY TO THEM TOGETHER!!!!!
Well whatever is going it is really hurting the whole business trade because we all were depended on Google only and now since the business down so lots of people have been job less in this 1 Oct month only... and it is not a Good thing!!!
Re: Tech Support Adwords Campaign
October 2013
Customer need, Customer Choice, Customer is satisfied than why Google is having problem. Google is just a search engine and it is doing it's job, than why Big brands are having problem . If You want to be at top just pay harder and stay at top.

Re: Tech Support Adwords Campaign

I was curious to see what Darshan was promoting so when I checked out his link... it really makes me sad to see how what's going around in the Tech Support world when it comes AdWords Account Suspensions is really a lot of mis-information.
Here's what I mean...
If you're main 'Strategy' is to add a few tabs like a Free Support tab, or a Contact tab with a map of your location in India, or having a 'Plans' tab the lists your pricing services... you're missing the big picture.
All you're really doing is trying to put paint over your Tech Support business hoping that Google will think you're a different business. It's like taking an ugly duckling... dressing it up, putting lipstick on it, and trying to pass the ugly duckling as a beautiful Swan.
C'mon... do you really think Google's not going to be able to tell that you're not just an ugly duckling all dressed up trying to pretend to be a swan? The mentality of most people in the Tech Support business is that there's this easy quick fix to make my business tech support business be approved by Google.
But the reason why Google is not going to accept you or allow you to advertise on Google over the long-term is because you're still acting like an Ugly Duckling. When I work with clients to fix their violations... my job is to turn these ugly ducklings... and help them to transform their businesses so they can become beautful swans.
Google only wants to promote businesses that are beautiful swans... that make a difference, that contribute tremendous value, that won't harm people, and promote business they can be proud of. Because think about it... if Google promotes businesses that are setup with that mindset... that brings back tremendous value to Google's brand... and puts Google's reputation at a very high state in the eyes of the searcher.
A state of mind where the searcher will use Google more... tell others how they love using Google versus any other search engine... give Google very good reviews. So you have to start thinking with that mind frame.
The question you should be asking yourself is... how can I transform my tech support business to make it a business where Google would want to partner with me? How can I transform my tech support business so that Google could be proud of my business and would be willing to recommend me to their users?
When you start thinking like that... then it'll become very obvious why just putting extra tabs at the top of your page is not the long-term solution Google is looking for.
There's more to it than that.
So hopefully this gives you a better idea of what Google is looking for and hopefully it steers you away from just trying to find quick easy fixes that makes no difference and won't make a difference.
Google expects more from their partners that they are willing to allow to promote on AdWords. And so it can be done... but you'll just have to transform how your business operates and promotes itself in order to make it work.
I'm going to be doing a Google Hangout that's open to the public for anyone that wants to attend. I just can't stand all the mis-information going around from people who are giving you bad advice on how to fix the problems. It's not helping anyone.
I think more people need to hear the truth of why Google is suspending your accounts instead of all the mis-information that's going around.
Connect with me on Google+ and I'll keep you updated to when we will be hosting the Google hang-out so you can interact with me and ask me your biggest questions live over the hangout.

But for the 150 million+ diabetics worldwide, tofu and cooked millet may become your new favorite meal. OK, so the favorite part may be an exaggeration, but hey, if a vegetarian diet can increase weight loss and improve your metabolism then it's worth a shot, or a taste. Yep, according a new study this veggie diet beat out the conventional diabetic diet on both counts, just not the taste category. Of course with diabetes prevalence expected to double by 2025 and with one-third of the world now considered overweight, we may want to consider rewiring our taste buds.

Our Investment Officers know the markets and their client investments and can utilize that knowledge to educate clients, help them grow their net worth and give them peace of mind along the way. If you find our philosophy resonates with you, then Berkeley might just offer an environment where you can thrive and so can your business. We understand that people who leave the Mainstream of Wall Street usually leave because they want more independence and a more productive business model. That's where we can really help.

On August 20th, 2010 Dr. Ron Paul released a press release regarding the controversy around the "Ground Zero Mosque". Leave it to Ron Paul to bring the real debate and issues into perspective.
Press Release:
LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Congressman Ron Paul today released the following statement on the controversy concerning the construction of an Islamic Center and Mosque in New York City:
"They never miss a chance to use hatred toward Muslims to rally support for the ill conceived preventative wars. A select quote from soldiers from in Afghanistan and Iraq expressing concern over the mosque is pure propaganda and an affront to their bravery and sacrifice."
."Is the controversy over building a mosque near ground zero a grand distraction or a grand opportunity? Or is it, once again, grandiose demagoguery?

Decorate your cleanroom with packaging compliance
For over 20 years, Van der Stähl Scientific has helped our medical device customers deliver hundreds of millions of sterile devices to the point of care. Let us help you with our advanced line of medical pouch sealers and pouch testing machines and products. We invite you to explore our packaging solutions designed to manage the regulatory challenges faced by medical device packaging companies. Our machines are designed to be gentle on consumable parts. That means your maintenance staff will have a great experience with our machinery, as the lifecycle of our consumables parts is exceedingly long. Many of our customers report our impulse sealers only use a fraction of the parts of other machines in house and that they do very little maintenance.
Our robust solenoid actuated sealing bar engenders seal to seal force by gating voltage through our advanced microprocessor. With our airless system you do not need to manage the complexities of validating the air source. Just plug into 110 volts and you're ready to package your medical device.
Some of our MS-350 customers have had their sealers for 20 years and counting and they are still running strong. Built on a heavy-duty baseplate with precision componentry, the MS-series sealers are built for the long haul. Over a hundred million seals each year worldwide on our reliable systems.
Our sealers ship to you from our fully accredited ISO-17025 calibration lab. We perform temperature calibrations at multiple internal thermal zones for better accuracy. We also verify that the systems pressure is within spec or we perform a multi-zone force calibration on the systems pressure transducer.
A medical packaging Superstar
The MS-350 medical device pouch sealer has become a favorite of medical packaging engineers worldwide. Easy to setup this precision packager develops consistent temperature and force for seal-to-seal repeatability. This sealer can output an impressive amount of seals for a demanding workflow. The MS-350 ships to your cleanroom with an ISO-17025 accredited calibration from our laboratory.
MS-350 Medical Device Pouch Sealer
Legendary performance and value
Click the video link below and learn how the MS-350 sealer can transform your packaging workflow. Move up to better packaging with the host of features on this powerful machine. Safe and ergonomic the MS-350 sealer can transform your packaging program.
The sterile barrier system's best friend
The MS 350 medical device packaging machine creates a ten millimeter wide seal and can seal a pouch up to approximately thirteen inches wide. The sealer does not require an air supply, only standard 110-volt service. The MS 350 sealer can seal a variety of materials such as nylon, Tyvek®, Mylar and poly. The microprocessor allows for the adjustment of contact temperature, contact time and release temperature. Set the MS-350 sealer to a semiautomatic mode for touch free operation or activate with the foot or hand switch for better user flexibility.

Deliver your medical devices sterile to the point of care
Why risk medical device sterility with inferior packaging machinery? Our line of packaging and testing machinery is designed to make certain that your devices arrive safely into the sterile field. The foundation of patent safely begins with efficacious medical devices that are delivered safe and sterile to the patient.
More about the MS 350 Medical Pouch Sealer
Testing integration, the future of medical device packaging
Medical device packaging engineers agree the pathway to compliant device packaging is through regular testing and inspection. With our patented MS-451-PV medical device pouch sealing machine, seal performance is verified with the onboard testing and inspection system.
More about the MS-451 Medical Pouch Sealer
As critical packaging compliance becomes more rigorous, packaging machines will need to employ logic systems to guide the process. The MS-451-PV medical device packaging system has been called the Swiss Army Knife of medical device packaging. Medical device pouch testing and inspection are so valuable to the process of sterile packaging we have incorporated a precision tensile/peel strength testing device that integrates with the systems master microprocessor. This advanced system also includes our patented visual inspection system the VIU. This pouch observation fixture aids in the discovery of possible seal failures.
Unlike many packaging machines in our industry, the MS-451 medical pouch sealer does not use inexpensive air valves to actuate the critical pressure at the platen. Our custom-built solenoid is minutely controlled through the system's advanced microprocessor and calibrated transducer. Unlike many packaging machines that build their sealers on mild steel cases, the MS-451 is built on a cast-aluminum base plate designed to perform for the long haul. The MS-451 is easy to setup and is supported through our online training program for machine maintenance and calibration and is backed by our ISO 17025 accredited Laboratory.
The MS-451 medical pouch sealer/pouch tester/visual inspection device is a complete sterile packaging solution in one machine. You can seal your pouches, perform tensile testing as well as visually inspect your pouches right in your cleanroom at the point of packaging. Our integrated pouch tensile/peel testing system can be verified with our "Smart Spring" to assure that you are gaining solid peel data between annual calibrations. Our patented low angle of light visual inspection fixture provides a repeatable light source and magnification to better identify pouch seal anomalies that could lead to device sterility loss.
Seal, Test and Inspect
The MS 451 PV medical pouch sealer controls all critical packaging attributes in order to assure seal-to-seal consistency. An advanced transducer manages platen pressure, which electronically feeds back data to the microprocessor in real-time. A thin film thermocouple also sends the thermal data of the sealing environment to finely manage sealing temperature. The function of testing and inspecting medical pouches is so valuable it should indeed be performed at the point of packaging. Our system not only encourages regular testing but also requires and records the process. As the industry demands tighter controls, smarter packaging machines like ours may soon be a mandate.
"High level of customer service by a group of technicians and sales staff that know their product."
MS-350 Sealer
Our most popular model, the airless, ergonomic MS-350 medical device packaging machine is the perfect device packaging solutions for nearly all film types from Tyvek to foil up to 13" wide.
OPL-Series Sealer
The OPL series sealers come in 3 seal widths to accommodated medical pouches up to 600mm wide. This system utilizes the same advanced controller as the MS-350 sealer to assure accuracy.
MS-451 Sealer

I don't understand it, but I love it. Three vignettes from a daddy-daughter day:
Me: Oh, hey, Amy Winehouse died this past week.
Sg: The "no no no" song lady? She died?
Me: That's right. She had been sick for a long time, and recently died.
Sg: Oh no. [pauses] Did somebody write down her lines?
Me: Did somebody what? What do you mean?
Sg: Did somebody write down all of her notes before she died?
Me: I don't know, but we have her recordings. So we can listen to the songs she already recorded.
Sg: We can still listen to her?
Me: Sure. [gives a three sentence overview of the pop music economy]
Sg: But I never got to go to her play, and now I can't go to her play.
Me: You mean her concert?
Sg: Yes. I can never go to Amy Winehouse's concert now.
Me: I probably wouldn't let you go to an Amy Winehouse concern any time soon anyway.
Sg: Still, now I can never go.
Me: That's true, and it is sad. But there are lots of concerts we can go to.
Sg: Yeah. At least it's a good thing the people who sing "Under Pressure" are still alive.
Me: …Yeah, that is good. [changes the subject]
You made up a word this morning. You do that a lot, but I think this one may have legs:
flə-'kä-kä – I'm not sure how you'd spell that. I just typed "flokaka", but that looks horrible.
When I asked you what it meant, you said "horsefeathers". It has stayed with me all day, but has morphed in my mind into whatever part of speech that one really bad "F" word is. As in "I understand you're waiting for that parking place to open up, but do you have to do it right in the middle of the flakaka lane?"
At the natural history museum, there is a book on a pedestal in front of a mural of the Pleistocene era that tells you about the various animals depicted on the wall. You began to briskly flip pages and said in a mocking "voice of authority" tone: "65 million years ago, all the birds were dinosaurs." This is notable for a couple of reasons:
- When it comes to humor, you've so far been more a consumer than a producer. You've got friends (I'm thinking of Maddie in particular) who have been knocking them dead for a couple of years. But you have generally been satisfied with wacky. And I hope you don't feel I'm being too harsh if I say that grownups generally are not amused by wacky for wacky's sake. If I asked you to tell me a joke right now, I'd get something like "why is there a dinosaur with a suitcase on its head? That's crazy!" Lately you've been adding irreverence to your repertoire, and I love it. I'm not sure who you were making fun of (probably me, now that I think about it), but it was some quality fun-making.
- Nice work on nailing the general vicinity of birds' splitting from the dino family tree. We hadn't even gotten to the dinosaurs yet, and I don't know the last time we discussed the Cretaceous period.

Just last Thursday, Facebook unveiled a completely redesigned Messenger app that will likely draw a variety of responses from the Facebook community.
The app replaces the list of conversations traditionally displayed with a home screen that allows users to perform many more actions with a chat, from sending emojis to making payments.
A newly designed Home tab organizes Messenger into recent conversations, favorites, active users, and messages that have not yet been responded to. The home screen also has a shortcut that reminds users about Facebook friends' birthdays. Messenger even prepopulates users' favorite lists based on algorithms that help the social media mogul to identify who users talk to the most often.
Facebook's active users list shows account owners the other users that are currently browsing Facebook or using Messenger at any given point in time from anywhere in the world. Search features have also been modified so that users can find what they're looking for in a conversation even if it's extremely dated.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced earlier this year that the app would be changing, stating that Messenger would become "the next big platform for sharing privately." Facebook's goal was to make its Messenger app the best positioned social media app to provide an experience that would be than mobile Web apps without needed to download additional apps.
"That's the promise of a Web-based approach- none of those pesky apps," explained Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. That said, people could find that working offline "could be problematic as a result."
Facebook also announced that members will be able to send and receive SMS messages and text messages in Messenger. I don't quite understand what that means and how the messages would be different than standard Messenger messages, but for the time being the option is only available to Android owners anyway. Even Android owners will still need to send GIFs, money, and make voice and video calls, and book car-sharing rides through Facebook.
"iOS doesn't currently support app permissions for accessing text messages and SMS," explained Facebook rep Heidi Hagberg.
According to principal analyst at Constellation Research Ray Wang, Facebook "is going after all the unified channels of communications in order to be that productivity device- the personal connector."
"It's trying to do the voice-to-text and video-to-text so people might look at video, which nobody's watching," he continued.
Enderle stated that the new Messenger "is an improvement over most messaging class apps, but that Facebook is "pretty far off the mark with regard to a universal messaging app, in that this really doesn't do a good job of replacing email or embracing voice or video conferencing as a true converged product might."
"If you have email and calendar, you own a person's lifestyle," Wang continued. "Facebook's taking small steps that tie the consumer role to the enterprise role."
Wang says that the success of Facebook's endeavors will rely on whether people are willing to make the tradeoff between privacy and convenience on the one hand and privacy and security on the other. For the most part, people are generally willing to trade privacy for convenience.

Question about Bose & Wave& Music System
We were playing CD's yesterday. Today, we put a CD in and it says "reading Disc" for about 10 seconds and then it says "Non Playable." We put in other cd's and the same thing is happening.
Posted by ajcap0608 on
when cd is inserted into Bose the message reading disc comes up and after a few seconds the message "non plable" comes up. It does this with every disc we tried so it isn't the cd.
I have the same problem mentioned above. Did anyone find a solution?
The c-d says "not playable" and there isn't anything in the trouble shooting instructions or c-d manual that addresses this.
What's up>?
Same problem
I have the same problem... I can't even play the demo CD
just got this system for christmas, and it played CD's for the first few days but all of a sudden, this morning I put in a CD and it also says "not playable" and spits it back out. Even the Demo disk won't play
what do I do?!
Same problem, any solution???
I have the problem. I called Bose and I'm sending mine in to Bose for a $99 standard repair.
Same thing. At first, I thought it was only CD I had burned, but it's pretty much all CDs. It happened initially during the warranty period but now the warranty has lapsed I was pretty much told to go f*** myself.
I had same problem. But my problem didn't start until a couple years after I purchased it. I got the CD player to work after reinserting a CD 10 or more times... Then one day it spit out a CD along with a black round disc. I took the top off but can't get inside the the CD player unit to put the small black disc in the CD unit. so unless anyone can help us with repairing the cd player i'll just use the radio. Not worth the money to get it repaired.
I just flipped the cd over and then ejected it. Tried it right way up and yahoo! It works now. Go figure?
I just had the same issue. Took the cover off and checked inside. I thought maybe another cd was in there and offset. Then I inserted a store bought CD in upside down. Ejected it then put in the right way, yahoo it works now. Go figure?
I had the same problem yesterday on my new Bose Wave Music System. I just kept on pressing reinsert everytime the CD got rejected and suddenly it started accepting CD's again.

The evil super-villainess Vetvix has attacked the peaceful planet of Dorkon and stolen an invention that will help her conquer both the Comic Book and Cartoon universes. The invention? Only a molecular scrambling device (dubbed the Moscram Gun) which can scramble any two objects... or even people! And those who are "moscrammed" fall under the control of she who shoots the Moscram Gun. But to power up the Gun, Vetvix needs the Klopman Crystal which Garzooka has conveniently stolen and escaped with to Cartoon World.
Vetvix is hot on Garzooka's trail, all the occupants of Cartoon World are in danger of being scrambled... unless Garfield can summon up the will power to join his superhero counterpart Garzooka in a fight to save their worlds.

Engineering Is: Defying Gravity
Today's roller coasters are engineering marvels, taller and faster than ever. Kingda Ka in New Jersey (left) has a 418-foot drop and races to speeds of 128 mph. Its hydraulic launch system catapults riders to maximum velocity in just 3.5 seconds. In 2002, the top speed of the world's fastest ride was "only" 106.9 mph.
Though it makes you feel weightless, a coaster's hair-raising downhill plunge actually makes you appreciate gravity's pull. Some hit G-forces of nearly six times gravity — well beyond what space shuttle astronauts experience upon launch. Albert Einstein called roller coasters perfect examples of energy conservation in a mechanical system, because they convert potential energy into kinetic energy and rely entirely on gravity and momentum. And engineers are still pushing the speed envelope. The Ring Racer in Germany will use an air launch system to zoom to 135 mph in 2.5 seconds. Hold on tight!

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Canvassers going door-to-door, as well as school districts across central Indiana, are encouraging voters to pay attention to ballot items that will impact classrooms.
Debra Pasha, whose granddaughter goes to Indianapolis Public Schools, walked through west side neighborhoods Monday for Stand for Children. She was handing out flyers touting the group's chosen candidates for school board, and encouraging people to vote for more than just the president.
"We're encouraging the voters that when they do their presidential voting, flip the ballot over in order to vote for the school board members, because it won't catch on a straight ticket," Pasha said.
That's because school board members don't declare a political affiliation.
In IPS, four of the seven board seats are up for grabs.
Other communities are voting not only for school board members, but also for tax referendums to pay for their day-to-day activities.
In Washington Township, district leaders say a 'No' vote could lead to layoffs and cuts in services.
"We've created classrooms out of closets, classrooms in the hallways, trailers at some of our schools because we just can't fit all the students in," Board President Bill Turner told CBS4 in October.
Monroe County Schools, Westfield Washington Schools and Clinton Central Schools are also asking voters to approve referendums.
On the state level, Superintendent Glenda Ritz (D), will try to earn a second term in office, as she faces Republican challenger Jennifer McCormick.
Pasha said that she hoped voters would take the less talked about school votes seriously, even if they don't feel as strongly about them.

A Jalopnik article describes Mitsu's accomplishment of exceeding 100k+ sales in the States in 2017. It's the first time past that milestone since sales collapsed in the financial crisis of 2008.
Yet somehow the author manages to conclude with:
Source: https://jalopnik.com/holy-hell-mitsu...unt-1822637131...will Mitsubishi continue on its seemingly slow and downward spiral in the U.S.?
HOW THE #*$& does the last 5 straight years of growing sales count as a slow and downward spiral??
To be fair, one commenter on the above-mentioned article calls out the author on this point. However many (most?) of the other 200 comments aren't as level-headed. (And of course there's a bit of Mirage-bashing thrown in there for good measure. )
It's disappointing reading comments like that in the blog-o-sphere. It shows just how hard it is to repair a tarnished "brand" when the same old innacuracies get regurgitated for years after the fact.

When an Ohio woman chomped down on the contents of her recently purchased bag of Planters salted cashews, she quickly realized that she bit off more than she could chew. Ravenna resident Nickolette Botsford was stunned when she was snacking on the cashews during a ride in the car with her mother. When she realized it was a human tooth inside the package of cashews, she freaked out.
She shared the shocking revelation on a Facebook post that has since been removed.
"I noticed something very hard in my mouth so naturally I pulled it out and asked my mom what the heck it was ……. yes a human tooth was in my package, and I had in my mouth for at least 30-40 seconds!"
Botsford had the car pulled over. From there she leaned outside and vomited "several times" as her body tried to expel the taste and feel of the human tooth she had been trying to eat. And when she later saw the "dried blood" on the tooth, she rushed to the emergency room because she feared the worst.
Medical professionals confirmed that the object was indeed a human tooth.
Botsford has since reached out to Planters, which is a division of Kraft Foods Groups, Inc. She called several times and responded to several voice messages before she finally got into contact with a human on the other end of the line – and then they took three more weeks before they got back to her with a real response.
A Kraft Foods representative came to her home to pick up the human tooth. But admits that "no one (from Kraft) seems to want to talk to me."
Botsford has suffered a traumatic experience. And now she has a phobia of eating nuts.
"This was very traumatic to me considering my phobia of teeth," Botsford said. "(Now nuts) make me sick to my stomach."
Because Kraft Foods is failing to meet her needs, she wants to hire a lawyer to help her get the money back from her Planters-induced visit to the emergency room. Because the tooth had blood on it, the hospital treated her to "exposure to blood or bodily fluids."
Fox News has contacted Kraft Foods on behalf of this victim and a representative from Kraft Heinz Co. confirmed that the "foreign object not expected to be in our product" was found inside Botsford bag of salted cashews. They claim to be in the middle of investigating this case. And no similar complaints have come forward concerning human teeth in their bags of nuts.
The story was reported on Fox News and received hundreds of comments. The following were some of the most recent ones:
"Note to self: Always inspect a handful of nuts for foreign objects and teeth before popping them into my mouth."
"Now if it were found in a bag of pistachios, that tooth would come in handy."
"Apparently Planters is making their employees use their teeth to open the shells."
How would you react if this happened to your snack food?

Good morning, everybody.
Dream #1
I may have been having some kind of joking conversation with a kind of gentle-looking, white-haired man in glasses, a business suit, and a trench coat.
The white-haired man then walked in through the front door of a tall building while I stood out on the sidealk. It was a bright, sunny day. The doorway the man walked into was really dim.
I wondered something about Warren Buffett, or possibly something about my brother. I felt like somehow the white-haired man had been related to one or both of them. But I couldn't figure out how. And something about the sight of both of them made me feel bad about how I've neglected my brother or treated him badly all my life.
Dream #2
I was in the living room of my family's house. It was a sunny day, and the living room was bright with natural light. None of the windows may have had any curtains. The windows, though, may have been grimy, as if kids had rubbed their sticky fingers against the panes.
My mom was sitting at a side table with my second youngest nephew. I was sitting on the floor. My other nephews were running around somewhere nearby, maybe back and forth between the living room and the backyard.
My second youngest nephew coul tell that I was getting frustrated. I may have been hoping that I could have a second or two to speak to my mom about something. But my nephews, it seemed to me, kept getting in my way. I couldn't pay attention to anything my mom was saying.
My nephew, sensing this, got up and walked away. He also came up to me before he left and said, "You know what? I'm going to be done with arcade games for the rest of the day!" I knew my nephew said this to impress me. He meant to say that he was going to do his homework instead of playing video games.
My nephew may have left on the table a few sheets of papers that had some colorful scribblings on them and a mini-arcade game toy, like an old mini-Pac Man game from the late 1970s or early 1980s.
Dream #3
It was a sunny day. I was outside with a few people, including my mother. We may have been waiting for something.
A recreational vehicle may have pulled up before my mom and I. The RV looked a little bit strange. Even though the RV towered over us like a three-story building, it didn't look as big as a usual trailer, and the bottom end seemed a bit too high and flat. But I knew it was probably my brother's, that my brother had been really enthusiastic about getting one, and so I tried to think as positively about the RV as I could.
The RV had somehow separated my mother and me from the other people we'd been with. So we walked back under the RV to get to them. Now, it seemed, the RV actually did feel gigantic to me.
I looked over to the left. There were seats like in a movie theater. Before I even knew what the seats were for, I called to my mom, "Look! See? That's a small movie theater. Inside an RV!" There were a few people in the seats now. And now I could just barely make out where the movie screen was.
I told my mom, "You see? They can watch movies here. But also, there's a way they can see through.. all the way... to the cabin." As I said this, the front windshield became visible, gleaming with the golden light of an afternoon sun.
The view seemed too low, like the driver's cabin was a level or two higher than the movie theater. I thought the angle from which the people in the theater seats saw would prevent them from actually seein anything out the window.
But, to justify this view, I turned away from the theater and toward my mom. I said, "What happens is, there's a hydraulic lift underneath the seats. When the people in the theater seats want to see outside instead of watching the movie, they just -- 'zzzhhhwwweeep!' up to see out the windshield."
I imagined the hydraulic lift, clean and chrome, telescoping upward. I tried to explain this visual to my mom. But the corollary for it seemed -- humorously -- to me to be the arm gesture for "fuck you." I said to my mom, "It just goes 'zzzhhhwwweeep!'" and made the arm gesture, hoping she'd see it as a joke.
As I did this, a clear, plastic partition came down behind my mom, cornering her backside like the square of a stand-in shower stall. Behind and past the clear partition I could now see some of my family members, including my aunt M and probably my uncle M.
I knew my family members were talking about my mother. I thought they may have been talking bad about her, about something she did that they thought was annoying. I also thought they may have been talking about how they thought she was going to die.
I hoped my family didn't think my arm gesture was directed seriously toward my mom. But I also, now hoped, my mom didn't think I'd meant the arm gesture seriously. I had tried to make it as obviously joke-like as possible. But I remembered times my old friend R had disguised serious insults as jokes. I had the thought that, even if I'd meant the arm gesture as a joke, I'd also probably, at least partly, meant it seriously.
Dream #4
I was in a dim living room with my mother and my nephews, and maybe some other kids who were like friends or classmates of my nephews. There were four couches in the living room, two side-by-side, and the other two facing the first two. They took up only half the living room. The other half of the room, apparently, was empty.
Some of my crayon drawings were on the couch to my far right. I was a little worried that they had gotten out here. I knew I had some adult baby fetish drawings in the pile. I didn't want any of the kids to see that stuff.
I walked over to the pile of drawings to pick them up. My second oldest nephew said, "Your mom thinks a lot of your work is really creative. It's really good." I was happy to hear this. I never had much, or any, confidence in my work. Now I had a little.
But then my nephew said, "But your mom doesn't think any of your work is funny. She doesn't think the jokes you make are funny." I knew this was meant to discount all of my work, like none of it was valid, since none of it was funny.
I didn't know, now, whether my mom had really said it, or whether my nephew had just made it up because he was jealous or he just wanted to hurt me for the fun of it. But I now felt really bad about my work all over again.
Dream #5
I walked into a barber shop or beauty salon. My mom may have walked in with me or she may already have been sitting in a chair inside the salon, waiting to have something done for her.
As I'd been walking into the salon, I'd been having a conversation, maybe in my head, with someone regarding a type of girl I apparently liked. I may have mentioned this girl in connection with onesies, like what kind of girl wears onesies, and why I think that kind of girl is so cute.
I described a girl, kind of like a college girl, with tan skin, a roundish face, sunglasses, brown hair with streaks of red, and wearing a pink, jumpsuit-like hoodie.
Now, coming into the salon, I saw, just past my mother, three girls, like sorority girls, all really pretty, with long legs, and dressed really sexy. The central girl was talking with the other girls, probably about her boss, who was probably a tall, handsome, older man. The girl said, "Yeah, my boss says I'm energetic and greedy enough to make it in City Hall."
I looked down to the floor. Sitting across the salon from my mom was an old woman, like my father's mother. The woman had had heart problems, I knew, like my mom was having. But the problems were also causing problems with the woman's limbs.
The woman's feet, especially her toes, were all swollen. The skin looked like elephant skin. The toes may even have been melting into each other, so that each foot had only a couple of toes. One of the feet may, in fact, have been only one big toe. The toes wriggled about like sluggish worms.
I wondered why I should even be interested in girls, sex, or beauty, when this was all it came to. But I tried to justify sexual interest, and I tried to convince myself that this kind of thing really didn't need to happen to people.

Lying in the bath at ONEWORLD Reteat in Bali, swathed in rose and frangipani petals, sipping honey ginger tea, I don't want to move. A giant floral pink and purple love heart is floating above me. It's such a work of art I can't bear to swish it away.
But just like a Buddhist mandala, all too quickly the heart dissolves, as I reach too vigorously for another sip of tea (even the teacup is surrounded by pink and yellow flowers.)
Minutes earlier, Ari, a sweet Balinese masseuse with the strength of a Sumo wrestler, had pummeled me to oblivion, gently scrubbed me with rice, tumeric and sandalwood , then sloshed warm yoghurt all over me, transforming me into a giant yellow jelly. Delicious!The essential oil-infused bath is the ideal way to end 90 minutes of pampering and lose the tumeric tones.I'm at ONEWORLD retreats Kumara, just a gecko's chirp from the centre of Ubud.
Perched on a clifftop, surrounded by jungle and rice fields, this peaceful 14-room holistic retreat is the ideal location for yoga devotees and those seeking a little more silence and pampering in their busy lives.
Offering individual and group packages, the resort offers yoga, meditation and other health-and-culture themed week-long retreats throughout the year, hosted by yoga and holistic health experts from around the world. Checking in, my partner, Peter, and I are quickly won over by the warm smiles at reception, along with the fragrant jasmine cold towel and a refreshing lemon drink.
We're escorted down the hill, past a seductive swimming pool, yoga pavilion and six room spa centre, to our room. With large balcony and glass windows looking out to coconut trees, ferns, and bougainvillia, our very private (air conditioned) room sports a comfortable king-sized bed, and a watercooler decked with messages like "Give love, gratefulness and Thankfulness." With separate bath and shower, the ensuite bathroom includes natural lavendar, frangipani and avocado soaps.
There are coloured pencils and paints on hand, should you be seized by a burst of creativity while gazing out the jungle. An affirmation saying "You create your future. You create your destiny and your build your character through your thoughts," has me nodding emphatically as I light up one of the incense sticks on the balcony and watch two dragonflies dancing in the day's fading light.
It would be easy to laze in the room listening to chirpy crickets, gazing out at jungle and birds, but much enjoyment awaits beyond these walls. It generally takes a lot to get Peter, a rigid desk-type chap whose rugby-battered torso has seen better days, on to a yoga mat. But even he is seduced by the open-air yoga pavilion looking out to jungle which we head to the following morning.
As the sun rises over the valley, our impressive yoga instructor, Wayan Partawan, guides us through the moves. Occasionally, we look beyond him to see squirrels darting up coconut trees, and verdant tropical vines seemingly growing before our eyes. Our session ends with Wayan chanting "Ohm" on his wooden accordion. Already Peter has more of a "warrior pose" and less of a slouch about him, and I'm feeling firmer and healthier.
Returning to our room, we tuck into an organic breakfast of fresh farm eggs, yoghurt and tropical fruits. Then its time for me to visit Dr Arpana, a specialist in the ancient Indian holistic healing practice, Ayurveda, for a private consultation. I tentatively knock on her door, and am greeted by a beautiful batik-clad Indian woman with sparkling eyes. "Sit down," she gestures.
She feels my pulse, gazes into my irises, then questions me about health and lifestyle habits. I admit to her that I'm easily stressed and hormones are not always my best friends. She nods knowingly, takes notes then pronounces me a "Pitta," type, with something of an imbalance.
I'm given a list of foods to avoid and thankfully many of my favourites (mangos, sweet things, potatoes any oats) are still on the list. "We don't say not to have certain foods, but just to be aware of ones to take in moderate amounts," she says gently.
Dr Arpana, from a family of Ayurvedic specialists who operate a hospital back in her home town in India, Kerala, gives a lecture at the resort every week (guests then have the option to book a private consultation with her) and regularly hosts special retreats there. "She's a very inspiring person," says Claude Chouinard, a charming Canadian who co-founded the resort with partner Iyan Yaspriyana in 2003.
He's currently working with her to establish an Ayurvedic healing centre in Ubud.Dr Arpana is just one of a number of international health experts who regularly visit ONEWORLD. While some guests simply check in for the shorter "spa vacation package" which covers spa pampering, rice field strolls, healthy meals and two nights accommodation, (costing just US $285 per person, twin share or $360 for one person), others are drawn to week-long programmes. These include Breathe And Rejuvenate in Bali, hosted by US yoga leaders Jennifer Prugh and Rebecca Bara, and Pure Iyenga Yoga, hosted by Victoria's Vivienne O'Brien. These retreats typically feature daily yoga and meditation classes, inspiring lectures, all meals, bicycle excursions and rice field walks, lectures and guidance from the experts, with perhaps a local treat like a visit to a traditional Balinese healer.
"I've seen so many people transformed after a stay here," nods Claude, who has lived in Bali for decades.
"They arrive stressed out from their busy jobs, and lives, and five days later, they're glowing!"
"Most of our guests are women – though of course men are just as welcome!" he beams, "and 70 per cent are Australian. The rest are mostly English and European."
While some come primarily for the yoga, others are drawn to the immersion in nature and "me-time" which comes from being at such a nurturing and harmonious environment.
Says Claude "our guests tell us they love that once they check in here, everything is inclusive, the yoga, meditation meals, the treatments, and activities. They don't have to worry about anything."
As we talk, I hear laughter, and look over the balcony to see a small group of Canadian women, learning how to make Balinese bamboo and flower spiritual offerings. "Those women have been here for a few days and are having the time of their life," says Claude.
"I think there's a kind of mystical magic about the property. People love the feel of this place. I love being responsible for helping people to find more balance and joy in their lives."
In my room later, I thumb through the guest book, and previous visitors have been effusive in their phrase. "I learned more about myself than I have in years," says one message. "This place helped me grow up and find my inner strength. Totally a gift you should give yourself," says another. Some have even painted sunny, happy pictures to illustrate their joy. I hope I get to come back for longer next time.
