One of my favorite activities in Photoshop, and now in Elements, is to turn some of my less spectacular photos into fine art. I am constantly surprised at the effects I can get by combining several filters, or by changing the order in which I apply them. The Artistic filters will enable you to mimic most of the available art media, from oil painting to neon tube sculpture. You can rescue a "bad" picture, or create a real masterpiece from a good one. More to the point, it's fun. Under the general heading of Artistic filters, I've chosen to also include the Brush Strokes, Pixelate, Sketch, and Stylize filters. Each category includes filters that mimic a specific art style or medium.
Elements includes a filter (Filter, Artistic, Watercolor) that gives you one style of watercolor, which is kind of dark and blotchy. There are ways to make this filter work better, and there are other filters that also create watercolors in other styles, but we'll start with the official one. First of all, let's look at the photo that will eventually be a watercolor (see Figure 25.18). As a photo, it's not very exciting. The composition and focus are okay, and it's well exposed, neither too dark nor too light.

Like Bill Clinton in America and Tony Blair in Britain, Schroeder has moved from the left to the middle of the road. And in the process has ousted Helmut Kohl, Europe's longest serving leader.
John Kornblum, the American ambassador, watched the election closely, and sees the result as a changing of the guard rather than a change of policy.
"This is a country which is incremental. It progresses very steadily but rarely rapidly. It changes its views but rarely rapidly. And so I don't expect very much change at all, to tell the truth," Kornblum said.
Unfortunately, one thing that never changes in this country is the far right. The neo-Nazis put up candidates across the country - not one got a seat - but the far right has an ally in Germany's economic stagnation.
"It has to do with unemployment, but not only unemployment. And we have to be very much on the watch. We cannot allow these things to grow. and I am worried that it could grow," said Count Otto Von Lambsdorf, a former cabinet member.
Chancellor Kohl's opponent in this election was the economy. His great legacy - the reunification of Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall - brought Germany's once booming economy to a halt. The unemployment rate exceeds 10 percent, and almost 20 percent in eastern Germany. And that cost him his job.
Helmut Kohl towered over Germany for 16 years. He will be remembered as a great statesman, the man who reunified Germany and championed the cause of European unity. But he was also the politician who didn't know when to retire.

BenQ sells its first 3D projector intended for the general public, the BenQ W7000 (specs here). Note right away that the 3D emitter is integrated but the 3D glasses are not provided. With its DLP Link technology, the W7000 is announced as one of the best in its class. Its 3D images are supposed to be extremely smooth and without crosstalk (the left and right images overlapping in 3D mode).
Good brightness, even in 3D
Excellent 3D picture quality, no crosstalk
Backlit remote
Lens-shift function
Fan is noisy in 3D mode
Colour fidelity could be better: average Delta E 6.4
DLP technology can lead to rainbow effects
The BenQ W7000 projector has a great 3D mode, giving a nice, bright image with no crosstalk. However, BenQ could still work on its image calibration, especially when it comes to colour fidelity. On that front, the Acer H9500BD does a better job.

Nevertheless, my exams finished earlier this week so it was out in search of something festive in a burger bun to celebrate. I will find the best burger in Glasgow, although at this rate it will take years and a couple of dress sizes.
So, me and my friend Sarah went to one of the synonymously named places that I hadn't been yet, Burger Meats Bun. Burger Meats Bun is one of the most well renowned places to get your burger in Glasgow, winning Yelp awards for being a top place to eat. The two guys that run it met whilst working at the Michelin-star Peat Inn, in Fife. I've been lucky enough to eat there once before, and it is nothing short of heavenly. Accommodating and friendly despite the fact that it was Michelin-Starred and my family and I rocked up in shorts and with sandy knees, when everyone else was in dinner suits. Oops.
Knowing that this was the birthplace of the Burger Meats Bun idea, I already knew I was in for something more than your standard Big Mac, in terms of both quality and the atmosphere of the place.
On West Regent Street, the restaurant is at basement level, giving you the weird feeling that you're going into a nightclub. When you get into it though, it is cosy yet modern, with some quirky twists. Cute murals, relevant quotes and the like. The little plastic cows, farmer and tractor were a personal favourite, it made me and my fellow county bumpkin Sarah feel right at home, and the kitchen roll on the table is a definite good shout.
Having looked at the menu before we went, I had a feeling that I would end up going for their seasonal burger. Made of seasonal ingredients, the Spring version was the 'Dolly Bun'. A Lamb patty, topped with feta cheese, peas, broad beans, fennel, black olive tapanade and lollo rosso.
I'm not normally one for lamb. I find it overly fatty and a bit too rich, but in burger form it's normally not quite as indulgent.
This burger was perfect.
I am not exaggerating when I say it was, perhaps, one of the best I have had so far. The combination of the succulent, but not too rich lamb, with the deliciously fresh spring flavours and salty feta was so good that it was gone in a matter of minutes. It was like eating one of my favourite salads, and I wasn't left feeling like I weighed three stone more, it was light and felt disconcertingly healthy. That of course all changed when I washed it down with the Thai Chilli Cheese fries. The portion is just the right size to share between two, and they are deliciously spicy, topped with fresh red chilli, cheese and spring onion.
Sarah went for the other special. They change their specials very regularly, and I'm not sure how often, if at all, they are rotated, but Sarah had 'The Bun with No Name'. A Korean/Japanese inspired burger, it consisted of a breaded chicken base, with lime and coriander slaw, kimchi, lettuce and red dragon mayo. I tried it and it was just as good as mine, the combination of zingy Asian flavours giving it a similar refreshing lift.
We finished off with a delicious and light chocolate milkshake, served in a delightfully kitsch milk bottle with striped paper straws. Cute, but perhaps not the most practical, they go all soggy if you don't make fast work of the milkshake. Motivational, perhaps.
Burger Meats Bun is slightly more expensive than some burger places, my Dolly Bun was a tenner, but not compared to the ones that offer a similar kind of 'experience', such as Bread Meats Bread. I have to say, much as I enjoyed the highly praised Bread Meats Bread a lot, I would definitely go back to Burger Meats Bun sooner.
Confusing I know, sorry.
It might have just been down to what I chose on the day, but the freshness of the flavours in my spring themed burger was satisfying in a way that I enjoyed more than having a brisket topped, gravy soaked something or other. It's all mood/day/weather/occasion dependant though, I suppose.
Anyway, if you're being put off going for a burger, are feeling like you have exhausted the ranks of restaurants and just want to admit defeat, I would recommend trying Burger Meats Bun before you give up completely or visit the same place twice. These are burgers with their roots founded upon a Michelin-Star after all... so they're really bloody good. You might be left with your tongue twisted, but only in a good way.

The Obama Administration wants Connecticut insurance regulators to reconsider rate hikes of as much as 47 percent in Connecticut for some health plans offered by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield In Connecticut.
The rates were approved last month by the Connecticut Insurance Department, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Monday asked the department to hold a hearing on the rates and test Anthem's actuarial assumptions. Health and Human Services joined Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in challenging the rates.

Hell Hole Trail is a 8.8 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Foresthill, California that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until November. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
nature trips
wild flowers
over grown
Directions from Georgetown: Travel 15 miles east on Wentworth Springs Road, turn north on Eleven Pines Road. Continue 45 miles to Hell Hole dam.
Hard! 8 miles 1 way. plan on camping at upper hell hole when going here. be prepared for a lot of up and down stretches. we called them stairways to hell. when you reach the campground it becomes heaven. spent a week here. lake was way low but plenty of fun with the river. recommend boating to upper hell hole not hiking
RATTLESNAKES!!!!! It was a strenuous hike both in and out, but definitely doable. We initially planned on hitting the primitive campgrounds, but bypassed those as we could see and hear boat campers at the lake. We hiked another mile or so passed the primitive campgrounds along the marked trail and found a beautiful spot to set up camp. We encountered a total of 5 rattlesnakes during our 2 day trip, 4 of those directly on the trail. Even though we were aware of the snakes in the area and we were constantly looking for them, they are very hard to see until you are nearly on top of them. Fortunately they moved along and we continued passed them. Bring water but there are several spots along the trail to filter water and the lake is accessible in 2 spots as well.
There is nothing easy about this trail. Be in good health if you are thinking about attempting this hike. We hiked the south trail and went past the end of the reservoir and camped past the first waterfall and pool. We checked out Kada Falls the next day which was even still further. As far as the trail is concerned, it is difficult. The only easy part is crossing the dam. The trail has steep climbs and is overgrown, parts of which have to be crossed by climbing over fallen trees. We lost the trail for a bit but reconnected further up. We had solitude as no one was out there over the weekend not even off roaders. And the effort was more than worth it. The waterfalls past the reservoir are awesome! Pack light and bring mosquito spray because they are deadly. DON'T forget water! Going down to the reservoir to get water is not an option while on the trail Even on the way back we lost the trail right before the dam and had to back track. The reservoir is not pretty and the trail is tough but the payoff for camping in a location like this is priceless. Will post photos soon.
This trail is better by boat. That is to say, take a canoe or flat water kayak and explore the shores of the lake. Hell Hole is one of the few reservoirs that qualifies as beautiful, particularly when filled to close to the reservoir maximum pool elevation. This reservoir is also located so far from Sacramento that the typical reservoir crowd is not inclined to travel here. Beautiful lakes and solitude are a rare combination in California, so if you are looking for those things, this is the place. But be prepared for the long drive, and don't get caught in the afternoon winds that can make life miserable if you are in a small boat.
A hell of a hole to get out of. This trail is very strenuous. There are tons of beautiful views and the campground at the end of the trail is fantastic. Plenty of natural water sources along the trail. Several places along the trail it was tough to know which way to go but keep an eye out for trail tape and rock cairns. I can't imagine taking this trail on a year with a lot of snowmelt...in this dry year there was some rough water crossings.
What Drew said is still true. The trail is overgrown in some areas, there are plenty of cairns but some of them seem random. There are a number of areas where run off crosses the trail. Make sure you have waterproof boots. Those run offs get deeper and faster as the sun climbs.
I only made it about a 3rd of the way around. If you go with a dog you may not be able to get them past some of the water. Others you might need to carry them over.
Tough climb on a barely there trail. Still a lot of fun and will return but without my dog.
This trail refers to the 5 mile trail that follows the southeastern shore of the Hell Hole Reservoir. There is another trail on the northern shore also called the Hell Hole Trail, but that is a jeep trail. I hiked both of these trails while completing a loop around the reservoir. The true Hell Hole Trail was not in the best shape and it appeared to be at least 5-10 years since it was last maintained. The trail starts to disappear at the Upper Hell Hole Campground, where there are park benches. From the campground there is no discernible trail that connects to the "Hell Hole" jeep trail. Instead, there are some scattered cairns with no pattern or direction. The route crosses both the upper Rubicon River and Five Lakes Creek. In May, I walked over both on the trunks of large fallen trees. Once across Five Lakes Creek, there is more route finding to get to the jeep trail. The route was obvious once on the jeep trail (=rough dirt road). This circumnavigation of the Hell Hole Reservoir is only for experienced route finders.

About 4-5 years ago, my son Daniel and I were planning on spending a weekend together at home . . . the girls were going out of town. Our plans were modest; one of the most anticipated events was cooking up some hobo pies (sandwiches made in cast-iron skillets) over a backyard campfire, and watching late night movies under 'blanket tents' in the family room. So, all week we were looking forward to hanging out, and I saw the anticipation building in his eyes as the weekend approached. Simple plans, safe expectations, quality time.
On Saturday night, we went back to our fire pit and starting gathering wood and kindling. I'm a bit of a pyromaniac at heart, so with bonfire in my eyes, we crafted a beautifully ventilated tee-pee structure that would cook up those hobo pies in no time flat. We stepped back to survey our work, and satisfied that this was the stuff of legend, I struck a match and dropped it in the center of our pile. The first raindrop fell. I looked up, not realizing the storm clouds that had gathered overhead. The drizzle began before I had a chance to get the thing started. It may sound childish, but inside me I began to feel a wild disappointment starting to swell. After a few minutes of failed attempts, I was planning alternatives to salvage the evening and share it in a way that sounded equally exciting. At that moment, I had the distinct impression to ask Daniel to pray for the fire. Doctrine took over, and I dismissed it as wishful thinking . . . but the thought sharpened and poked me again instead of floating away. Again, I resisted as the drizzle turn into a steady rain. As I got up to leave, the words burst from my lips somehow - a request for him to pray for the fire. He gave me a confused look, glanced up at the sky then down at the fire, and back to me. He bowed his head and prayed a simple prayer for God to let us have a fire for our hobo pies.
My heart raced as I opened my eyes and stared at the pit.

Zopo Captain S Video Review : Gaming
In this part of the review we will cover the gaming prowess of the Zopo Captain S, the device was able to play most heavy games without any lags or jerks. We have shown 3 games in the review out of the several we tested; NOVA3, Modern Combat 4, and Need for Speed. All in all the games played out well, and it was a pleasure to watch the graphics being rendered on a Full HD 6" large screen. The large screen also allowed for easy play-ability as the controls weren't jammed together on the screen.
Zopo Captain S Video Review : Gaming from PhoneGuru Reviews on Vimeo.
NOVA 3 really pushes the device to its limit, takes a heavy toll on the hardware and will leave you crying if your device can't handle it. It will take its sweet time while loading usually several minute, unless you have a Xiaomi Mi2s, S4 or similar device. Once the game started the Zopo Captain S was able to render the graphics without any problems, game play was smooth and fluid. Touch response was great and without any lag.
Modern Combat 4:
Another game which really takes its toll on any device like NOVA 3 is Modern Combat 4, as you will see in the video the game play was quite smooth the touch response was great. There were no lags and the graphic rendering was smooth and jerk free. The phablet handled the entire game without any problems and it was a pleasure to play this game. The only drawback was a slower frame rate.
Need For Speed:
Game play was smooth without any lag, touch response and controls were immediate and there was no lag seen in the either, overall graphic details were rendered without any pixilation again the screen allowed for a great visual experience. We have to make a note here that the device's display really set Need for Speed game play apart from playing the same game on other devices. Again the only thing we noticed was a slight difference in frame rate.
All in all the Zopo Captain S was able to render these heavy games as well as others easily and without any lag. The 1.5GHZ processor and 1 GB ram combination allowed for this, but the Full HD 6" screen was responsible for the comparatively slow frame rate as it takes more resources to render on a large screen at such high resolutions.

As the year comes to a close and people prepare to celebrate the start of 2015, many will be bundling up as cold weather stretches from coast to coast.
This is especially true for those planning to ring in the new year at an outdoor venue, such as Times Square in New York City.
"Back-to-back waves of arctic air will descend across the western and central United States during the first half of next week, even plunging down to the Mexican border," said AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski.
"Colder, more seasonable air will progress into the Northeast into New Year's Eve," Pydynowski continued.
Jump to: East and Midwest | Plains, Rockies and Northwest | Southwest | West
Unlike Thanksgiving and Christmas, no major storm looms on the day leading up to 2015. This is good news for those planning to travel across the regions in the days prior to the new year as there should be very few weather-related delays.
People heading out to celebrate on New Year's Eve across the Northeast and Midwest will still want to bundle up to prepare for the weather as temperatures are forecast to dip into the 20s and teens over much of the region at night.
Wind gusts from the west will make it feel even colder with AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures in the single digits.
Dry conditions are expected to accompany the chilly weather with the exception of some snow showers downwind of the Great Lakes; although no significant accumulations are expected.
The Southeast should escape the worst of the cold with most cities staying above freezing on Wednesday night.
South Florida looks to be the warmest spot in the entire country to celebrate New Year's Eve with lows in the 60s, a few degrees above normal for the end of December.
The coldest air in weeks is set to plunge across the Plains, Rockies and Northwest to close out 2014 and will continue into the first few days of 2015.
Low temperatures on New Year's Eve will bottom out in the single digits across much of these regions with the exception being along the coast of the Northwest.
Anyone heading outside on New Year's Eve should wear hats, gloves and layers of clothing to stay protected from the harsh cold.
Spending long periods of time in the outdoors without the proper protection from the cold can bring the risk of contracting frost bite or even hypothermia.
Residents and visitors in the Southwest will not escape the cold weather for New Year's Eve as chilly air is forecast to make it it all the way to the coast of Southern California.
"Next Tuesday or Wednesday could be the coldest so far this winter season in the Desert Southwest, such as in Las Vegas, Nevada, or El Paso, Texas," said Pydynowski.
In addition to the below-normal temperatures, a low pressure system will spread showers, and even some snow, over part of the region.
Areas near the coast of Southern California are expected to have just showers from this storm as it passes through, but the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains could receive some accumulating snow. Las Vegas may even have a trace of snow from this system before the start of 2015.
Despite the system affecting the region, it should turn out dry for New Year's Eve celebrations in cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego.
Know when the precipitation will start and stop with AccuWeather MinuteCast®.

He was so real. When it finally happened, when she finally saw him, it didn't feel like magic at all. It felt like looking into the grave and seeing it look back at her.
I managed to keep my teaser only 3 sentences long. I'm so proud of myself rn. Lol. But man. This book is kind of a slow build for me. There's been a lot of setting up the characters, the story, and hints and bits of this supernatural more-ness, thing happening. (Clearly, my eloquence goes out the door with the lack of sleep.) However, I feel like I'm on the cusp of really delving into it; I'm still in the beginning after all.

Today in Year 5 we imagined what it would have been like to be a working class person in 1819 who decided to stand up for their rights. We made banners and protested around the playground and pretended to attend the meeting in St Peters Field. We had a lot of fun marching and making our voices heard for the people of Victorian Times! Next week we are looking forward to writing aa newspaper report about the event.

In February 20I5, I was lucky enough to become friends with Robert Lee, CEO of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (click here to learn more about them!), an amazing organization that rescues food that would otherwise be wasted and donates it to the homeless in 12 cities in America.
At the time, I had hit a personal low. I was tired of my life New York City. My friends were leaving to chase their dreams in San Francisco or starting their own companies. On a train ride home, I saw this article on my Facebook feed and read about a 22-year-old guy, NYU Stern alumnus just like me, who quit his cushy job at J.P. Morgan to start a food rescue nonprofit because he didn't always have enough food on his table growing up.
I added him on Facebook and asked if I could borrow an hour of his time for dinner. I will never forget our conversation. "I lose sleep at night thinking about how I can make sure no New Yorker ever has to go hungry because there's already enough food being wasted to feed all of them." This was someone who had vision beyond his years. "I want to support you, but I'm going to need some time. My mom and I have started to do benefit concerts, it would an honor to work with you as well."
More than a year later, this vision is finally coming to fruition. On December 17, 2016, Mom and I will be performing at the DiMenna Center for Classical Arts to support Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. I am still amazed every single day by Robert and his ability to create his image of a better world for the underprivileged with his own strength. I am two years older than he is, but I aspire to be like him. My mom and I are so proud to be partnering with his amazing organization.
Our program will showcase our duet repertoire, including Faure's Dolly Suite, Brahms' Hungarian Dances, and Rachmaninoff's Six Pieces Collection. This will be our first time performing 1 piano 4 hands works publicly – we hope to see you there!

So many people said, "Saw you in the paper!" to me today. This is not unusual, since I am published weekly in the Sacramento News and Review. But once my co-workers started saying it, I realized they meant The Bee. Now that is unusual. Even my mom wrote to say I looked "beautiful" in the grey newsprint photo. Moms are nice like that. My mom will be there on Friday night, with her boyfriend and best friends. Hopefully they weren't the special guests KLJ said we were keeping secret.
I also talked to Miss Stephanie Rosscup of Abandon Productions today, who is going to try to get the cast of Aah! over to our 10pm Saturday show, if they're not to tired from their 8pm physical theatre show that same night. ICBINCers, I think we should make a group pilgrimmage to their play, too. It's been extended until December 13 and plays around the corner from my house. I'll make cider afterwards! What say you?
And yes, I was a customer in Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia. I had one line and my official title was "The Customer Who Is Clueless About Burt Convey." I'm not sure I'm spelling his name right (which proves the part wasn't much of a stretch).
Now I'm off to plan my outfit for tomorrow morning's Good Day Sacramento appearance! Did anyone post that here yet? ICBINC will be on Good Day Sacramento tomorrow on Channel 31 between 9am and 11am. Check us out, live from the Horse Cow!

I missed last week's TRLT as I was traveling back from Sydney, but once again it was a lively and interesting hour. Don't miss this week's #TRLT chat at 10 AM (PT)/1 PM (ET). This week's topic is health on The Road Less Traveled. As you can imagine, traveling off-the-beaten path has it's hazards. Eat the wrong thing, or drink contaminated water and you'll be out cold for a week. We'll talk about how to avoid this, along with addressing the following questions:
Q1. Do you take any safety precautions when it comes to food? What are they?
Q2. Have you ever become sick on The Road Less Traveled – what happened?
Q3. If you fall sick, do you remain on The Road Less Traveled or return home?
Q4. What advice do you have for seeking medical attention on The Road Less Traveled?
Q5. Any advice to share on how to stay healthy on The Road Less Traveled?
If you're new to Twitter chats and need help on how to navigate one, Kendra wrote a great instructional post on this topic.
Will you join us during this week's TRLT chat?

I decided that getting a room ready to paint is far worse than sitting back and waiting on it to dry. I mean, I can at least get a blog post updated or sleep while it dries! I was half way through cutting in all the trim in the kids' bathroom today when I felt like the YouTube sensation "David and the Dentist" when he said, "Is this gonna be forever?". That's when I threw my brush down and devised a trick much quicker and cleaner than blue painter's tape and an angled bristle brush. Now, I'm no painter and this is just my method and it's kind of like a "duh" tip.
I noticed that after putting that stupid painter's tape down, sometimes it would fall off the ceiling and sometimes it would separate from the trim and sometimes, paint gets behind the tape or peels up when I pull it off. VERY ANNOYING after going to the trouble to tape it off in the first place!
See here where I've pulled back the tape and it looks like crap?
I went and got my trusty, cheap, 2" foam brush and went to work using the technique I'm about to describe after I cussed out and removed the tape I spent a few hours putting on this morning.
First, dip your foam brush in the paint, only putting about 1/4" of the brush in the paint like so:
Then, starting about 1/4" above the trim, smear on a straight line.
Redip your brush in the paint to 1/4" again and hold it perpendicular to the line of paint you just smeared on.
Now, gently push your brush up and down in a small "v" pattern to create a straight line.
When you do this, the paint will be a little thicker right at the edge you are creating. (I will explain why this is so awesome later.) Next, Swipe your brush parallel to the trim to smooth out the paint. And ta-da, you have your first coat on and you are ready to fill in the walls with the roller!
Now, I said this will save you time and that there's an awesome part coming. Here's the awesome part! When you return to do your second coat, you can zip right through cutting the edges in because you won't need to go all the way to the edge. You can get really close, but it's already a little thicker so you don't have to follow the line exactly. Just get close enough to blend the second coat with the edge of the first coat and you literally zoom through the second coat of edging! I was able to finish two coats on the girls' bathroom and finish it entirely in one day. And you guessed it, I'm just waiting for paint to dry right now!

Alternate title: When Artem Asks You To Write A "Fun" Post, You Accept The Challenge And Do Your Best
Alternate title: When Artem Asks You To Write A "Fun" Post, You Accept The Challenge And Do Your Best
Useless crap for $1.22
You can use the Opinion Rewards money.
One day, I will save up enough Opinion Rewards money to purchase a Square Enix game. One day...
I've earnt £6 in 15 months, so I just about qualify!
Except I spent it on crap like this.
Doesn't it expire within 1 year anyway?
I've made somewhere around $15-$20 over the past year with GOR. I don't know why they like me for their surveys, but I am so not complaining.
I've gotten around $30 in the last year. A lot of it I got Google to send to someone, I bought a few apps, and I have roughly $10 currently sitting in my account.
I've tried to register for the survey network since the day it came out - in 2013. They still haven't "gotten back to me" yet.
No, I actually agree with kondra007, I can't imagine spending money on this. It's not about being cheap, either, I buy apps all the time.
Also, this site's staff trolls its readers more than any other site I visit. Congrats??
How so?
I love how the staff interacts with its audience. That's one of the reasons why I visit. Keep it up AP!
It's fair that we have different expectations from different publications, so I respect your opinion. My opinion seems to differ in that I think staff should never put down their readers, it seems unprofessional to me. To each, their own, I suppose.
I took the gif as in agreement, like 'welp, what ya gonna do?'. Pictures are worth a 1000 words...the downside is that those words can be interpreted 1000 ways. My guess is that it is a reference to something that I am not understanding. (some show or something).
I upvoted you for having a cordial discussion.
It's a classic SNL skit called Debbie Downer, I recommend watching it! The gif basically indicates that the original commenter is a downer, rather than letting them express their opinion. To disagree is one thing, to reply with implied snark is another. As I said before, to each their own. Some people enjoy the less professional behaviour, I just find it rather unbecoming.
Gotcha. Thank you for the knowledge.
It's a blog... about Android. Nowhere do they ask us for a subscription (or any kind of payment at all) nor do they ask us for an account or anything. It's not a "publication". With that said, I appreciate the unprofessional stance the staff take. Then again, I despise "professional", mainstream journalism.
It's fair that we have different expectations from different publications, so I respect your opinion. My opinion seems to differ in that I think more staff should have moral honesty to say what they actually feel , rather post fake reader pampering hypocritical comments and never put down their journalistic integrity to please readers, it would be unprofessional to me if they do not do this (saying what they actually feeling ). To each, their own, I suppose.
Wow. such clever. much effort. not so much english.
Your reply doesn't even make sense, but thanks for playing today's game of "I try to be funny, but I'm not!"
Wow. such clevery. much efforty. and so much ignorancy .
Your ignorant reply actually does make sense, it clearly shows how much egotistic ignorant asshole you are who think their comment matters LOL and thanks for showing your mentality , now go to upstairs from your mom's basement take your meds and tell your mom its time to change your nappy and fuck your grammar
try to be a better and more creative troll next time and thanks for telling what you are , we all know you try to be funny but you are not.
Them trolling us is nice. I don't want AP to become no fun allowed like Android Central.
It's down to $.99 as of now.
i'd prefer a guru meditation
I can't believe I have to explain this, but the article IS IN THE IMAGE people.
Lol. Thanks for that!!!
Rita, the world just isn't ready for you yet.
I think we got it, this article is just...meh.
And what more exactly are you looking for in an article about a watch face about BSODs? Expounding on the nature of human existence?
Honestly? I don't want to read about crappy watch faces like this. This article was obviously made for nothing but to show off how funny rita is, again.
If I want to have a good laugh, then I have better place to. I don't know why we should praise every single article she writes.
You're taking this a lot more seriously than it deserves. It's a different watch face, its audience is geek culture like some of the AP readers, instead of saying "this is a BSOD watch face, it does this and that," we tried to make the article a bit more entertaining. That's all there is to it.
And I don't claim to be the comedic genius of the century, nor do I plan on making a living off of my so-called jokes. I just like goofing around with articles sometimes. If that doesn't fit your style, you're welcome to skip my posts and read whatever else you find useful on AP. No need to get personal about it.
I am sorry you are having a bad day. Hope it gets better.
Sure, I'll take that ;)
I think this goes to show that nobody reads error messages!
So this app is virus ??
I'm disappointed 0x80085 was not in the image and demand a refund.
THIS IS THE ULTRA BEST INVENTIVE / INNOVATIVE ARTICLE WRITING STYLE I HAVE EVER SEEN. RITA YOU LITERALLY SHOULD GET THE BEST INNOVATIVE JOURNALIST OF THE WORLD. why i wrote it in all CAPS because i'm so excited and amazed because i have never seen that level of innovation in writing :)
Since it's Android, the color should be green!! GSOD
Nice article gimmick, but it isn't your finest writing. That being said, it was still entertaining to read! Looking forward to your next post Rita!
I took the BSOD text and changed a few things, didn't write the article from scratch, hence why it isn't my "finest" hehe. Shows that Windows' error messages are technical, boring, and not literary enough ;)
I thought it was a good joke, working in IT myself. Not every article needs to be your best piece, there's nothing wrong with this article. Just ignore the morons who can't understand humor.
Nobody ever reads the BSOD text, so I doubt many people got that you stuck mostly to it. I think more would have loved it if you changed more text to add more of your own writing, which many seem to love, but kept to the spirit of being technical as if it was the actual BSOD
she all ready did that but your low IQ did not detect that dimwit much ;-) :P
Harsh crowd today!
Seriously who shit in the internet's cheerios this morning
Rita tried something different, no harm done.
People expressed their opinion, still no harm done.
Those are just the chocolate Cheerios, no poop! Try them, they're delicious! :)
use this chrome extension "Disqus Downvote Exposer" watch it yourself that all read 4 people down vote your shitty comment and we are all (well majority people)totally disagree with you.
"Me fail English? That's unpossible!"
me kannot b a non- 'marican /europian parson whuz ingles iz no nativ language , i haz 2 b a amarikan guy hu kno inglis bcoz world round around your fucking empty ignorant head
Yeah see I know you're trolling and want to insult me but that grammar is just so bad...
I think I understand the first part though, and I'll give you this: I'm not American. I'm from Europe, and my mother tongue is a Slavic one.
Technically, he didn't correct your grammar. He just pointed out how it seems that you were high and drunk when you were writing that comment.
Too busy reliving BSOD related incidents to read article.
50-100 people have given money for this thing? Ugh.

Well-established site covering next gen consoles well and also just about every PS2 title available in the UK--now out of business
Gametart was absorbed by Gamesfrenzy in 2009, and has ceased to exisit as an independent company; we've kept this review as it was for posterity.
Gametart has been a consistent winner since starting up in May 2004, and is our top recommendation for PS2 owners among others. They claim to be the UK's top games rental company, and we agree for PS2 and PSP, though not for other platforms.
Gametart's distinctive red and black website includes a basic search engine and allows browsing by their thousands of video game titles through 13 genres. One of our favourite features is the 'on hold' system which allows customers to reserve a game that they really want while they are returning a current rental.
Instructions for rental games are emailed to the customer and turnaround times between games are reputedly excellent. They claim that 98% of the time your game will arrive the next day, though as ever this largely depends on the Royal Mail's efficiency. We particularly like that you can suspend your account, say if you're going on holiday or have a busy stretch at work or exams; not all companies have this facility, and their indefinite suspension policy can certainly save money in these cases.
We have heard minor complaints about Gametart limiting the rental queue to ten titles. This has now been remedied and you may now have up to 20 titles in your queue.
Gametart have expanded beyond their PS2 specialization of a couple years back and boast over unique titles, supporting all major consoles except the Xbox, Gamecube, and Gameboy Advance. They stock 1,620+ total game titles, including 720+ for PS2, 320+ for XBox 360, 170+ for the Wii, 170+ for PSP, 90+ for the DS, and 190+ so far for the PS3.
Like most of the online games rental companies they don't offer a customer service phone number. So beware of slow response to customer emails, which may cause problems if you want to cancel a subscription.
Prices: Game Tart offer two simple price plan options, and are one of the only major game rental companies to charge by the week instead of the month. Price are £2.99 a week for 1 game at-a-time (unlimited, roughly £11.96 per month) and £3.99 a week for 2 games at-a-time (unlimited, roughly £15.96 per month) which will be charged every 28 days. New subscribers will automatically be assigned to the 1-at-a-time tariff.
They continue to offer an industry standard ten day free trial.
Jac, January 16, 2006
Great service, been using them for over six months now, I think they believe in the saying 'the customer is always right' because if i have a problem they are always on to it and give me a refund if a problem arises.
They have a wide range of games to choose from, the only drawback is that you can only list 10 games at a time, but apart from that they are the best game rental company out there. so what if they don't email you the instructions? who reads them anyway?

Kevin, September 10, 2008
Just spoken to my bank about this company. They are well known in disputes department. Gametart have been trying to bill my old card number at least twice a day. I returned the game within the free trial but still trying to take money. They already have taken money once which I have now disputed. Avoid like the plague absolutely awful company bunch of cowboys. Just stay clear even the chap from bank was shocked they try to take money out of your account up to 3 times a day must have some serious cashflow issues to be doing that
Ricky from Notts, March 23, 2008
i was only with Gametart for the free trial period, i received 1 game from them which came in good time however the game crashed 10 minutes into the game at a certain point. i contacted them to cancel my trial and they did it pretty much instantly and took no extra payments or anything.
Lynne Leicester, March 16, 2008
Rubbish service, poor customer service. Charged me after I cancelled even though they didn't send any discs??????????. Poor communication - difficult getting money back.

Real-time monitoring of energy savings
Wireless performance monitoring in real time: we monitor the light output + the performance of the LightCatcher technology together with you. You will receive monthly feedback via e-mail, or you can monitor the graphics on a day-to-day basis via your smartphone or a secure section on this website (you will receive a separate login for access).
How does the technical side work? We install a gateway (router) in your building that communicates with our server and with antennas that are integrated within the LightCatchers on your roof.
What is the result? You can monitor your light output and energy savings at all times via a secure website + you get a clear overview every month.
Additional facts. Smart maintenance. This way you can remotely monitor the performance of your LightCatchers as well as verify the positioning of the mirror, the performance of the engine and the power of the batteries. Every quarter new software updates can be uploaded to the LightCatcher if necessary. This way you are always guaranteed the best performance out of the technology.
Control of your artificial lighting
Automatic interaction with your artificial lighting: we control your light fittings directly from the LightCatcher. This way you can obtain maximum savings on artificial light. You no longer have to push a button. The LightCatcher determines itself when to switch off your lights. And if there is insufficient daylight, then the lights come on again.
How does the technical side work? We install a gateway (router) for every area of your building that communicates with the LightCatcher domes (via integrated antennas). The light intensity in the dome is measured and that is converted to a light strength on your floor. The light strength is compared with your desired light strength. Depending on the result, a signal is sent to your lighting (directly to your fittings via an interface or via your BMS system).
What is the result? The lights are only on when they need to be. The LightCatchers regulate your lighting usage and quickly reduce your energy invoice.
What if you don't want to invest?
Then we invest for you! For roofs from 5,000 sqm, EcoNation absorbs the whole investment (LightCatchers + installation + monitoring) and we share the energy savings. Your new lighting bill will always be lighter than it is now. Your advantage: your energy bills are immediately reduced without the need to invest in your roof or buy light domes. Are you interested? Then do contact us to receive a tailored calculation.

چکیده انگلیسی
This study aims to identify person-level factors, rather than economic situations, that influence migration decision-making and actual migration. Building on the theory of planned behavior, this study investigated potential migrants' expectations and attitudes toward migration and career (i.e., anticipated job benefits of migration, career aspiration) as well as beliefs (i.e., generalized self-efficacy) as predictors of migration decision-making conceptualized in three phases: the pre-decisional, pre-actional, and actional phases. This was examined with cross-sectional pre-migration questionnaire data from 1163 potential migrants from Spain to Germany. We also examined whether the migration decision-making phases predicted actual migration with a subsample (n = 249) which provided follow-up data within twelve months. For the cross-sectional sample, multinomial logistic regressions revealed that anticipated job benefits and career aspiration are predictive for all migration phases. Self-efficacy predicts the preactional (e.g., gathering information) and actional phases (e.g., making practical arrangements). Finally, for those with low self-efficacy, anticipated job benefits play a stronger role for taking action. For the longitudinal subsample, a logistic regression revealed that being in the preactional and actional phases at baseline is predictive of actual migration within twelve months. This study expands previous research on migration intentions and behaviors by focusing on expectations, values, and beliefs as person-level predictors for migration decision-making. With a longitudinal sample, it shows that international migration is a process that involves multiple phases.

In conjunction and celebration of World Breastfeeding Month, Thomson Medical in partnership with Phillips Avent, Spring Maternity, Passion Card, NTUC U family and HeyBaby SG organised the Breastfeeding Challenge 2015, a nationwide movement to support and encourage breastfeeding mothers in an attempt to break the Singapore Book of Records for the largest ever breastfeeding event in Singapore.
Photo Credit: Breastfeeding Challenge 2015
August marked a special occasion for Singaporeans as we commemorated the nation's 50th year of independence. Our nation's golden jubilee celebrations were made more meaningful as the Breastfeeding Challenge 2015 event involved our Jubilee babies coming together to break a national record.
Goodnews! On 29th of August at 10 o'clock in the morning, approximately more than 200 mothers took up the challenge to breastfeed together in the same hour. Besides setting a breaking record of 154 mothers breastfeeding at the same time with the Singapore Book of Records, renowned lactation expert Mrs Wong Boh Boi, Senior ParentCraft Educator of Thomson Medical Centre, was also present to share insights on breastfeeding to encourage mothers to breastfeed.
According to Health Promotion Board's National Breastfeeding Survey 2011, most mothers in Singapore would initiate breastfeeding after birth. However, only 30 per cent would continue to do so exclusively for at least two months. These figures were low when compared to other developed countries such as South Korea, where at least 50 per cent of mothers continued to breastfeed exclusively for at least two months!
Thomson Medical believes that breastfeeding has numerous benefits for both Mum and Baby, and is spearheading this annual Breastfeeding Challenge event to increase the awareness of advantages of breastfeeding. It aims to encourage more mummies to continue breastfeeding longer after birth with exclusive insights and tips!
This truly inspiring community programme saw women from different cultural, family background and lifestyle, gather to show their support for the cause.

Welcome to Deer Lake
Loved for over thirty years, our roots here at Deer Lake started in tennis back in 1973 as a simple four court facility. Since then we've grown with our members and anticipated their desire to become what we are today — a place with a rich past, a solid present and an eye for the future.
And while we've always been where families, singles, seniors and couples come to mingle and relax where children find camaraderie, teens find activity and adults find friends laughter and a place to play hard…what Deer Lake has become is much more than that. We're more than a place where people drop by to enjoy a steak, lively conversation, a tasty salad, or a glass of wine…more than a place a bride celebrates her wedding day with hundeds of her friends. What we've become today is something that each of our staff and our members are proud to be a part of…a place where the children of our earliest members are now creating memories with the grandchildren of those very same members. Memories somehow familiar yet altogether new and different…memories of doing something good for themselves and doing something they enjoy with the people they love.

Failure to adopt a stop-loss order
You are discouraged from making any order in the market and then leaving it open. By so doing, you can end up losing the entire amount. Instead, you should protect yourself by adding stop-loss instructions to any position which is open. The rate at which you are taking profits should always be identified. The trading system should intervene on the trader's part.
Being ruled by emotions
People have emotions. You should be careful when trading to ensure that your emotions do not affect your trade. Most people have a tendency of making large risks whenever they seem to be making profits. Trading emotionally can be fatal since you can end up making huge losses in.
By copying what other people are doing
New traders are advised to study what the great traders and their mentors are doing. You are discouraged from copying other people's trading patterns. Instead, you are advised to study other people's pattern or system and then develop a unique pattern. It is worthy to remember that your mentor's pattern might not be appropriate for you. One can easily make money by formulating an exit strategy, a setup and an integrated money management system.

I love these - they are balls of zing in my ears, sparkly and pretty. I am also delighted to find that the 24k gold plating is fine for my ears - I can't wear 18k earrings so had gone over to Titanium. But these are fine too - and much cheaper!
Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No
very fas shipping...sweet earring..thanks a lot...
I already have a pair of pink fireball earrings which I really love. I thought a white pair would go with a lot. They look great, not too big not too tiny. Comfortable too. Love being able to wear earrings again after years avoiding them.
i love those earring, thay sparkles in every side you see it and this makes them so special!
Metal Allergies24 carat gold is 99.9% pure. Gold that is less than 24 carat is an alloy and it is the other metals in the alloy that usually cause allergic reactions to gold earrings. Gold is used as a plating on surgical steel as it is too soft to use on it's own.316L surgical steel is hypoallergenic but does contain a small amount of nickel. The nickel release rate is only around 0.02μg/cm2/week (without the 24ct gold plating) but it may cause a problem if you are very sensitive to nickel.Read more about steel grades, nickel release rates and metal allergies here.

Seth MacFarlane Crushed This Liam Neeson Impression on Fallon
On the flip side, he also did a pretty crappy Ray Romano impression.
Jimmy Fallon played Wheel of Impressions with Seth MacFarlane on Monday night because MacFarlane is a good sport, as well as a voice wizard. The highlight: MacFarlane doing an awe-inspiring Liam Neeson better than Liam Neeson does Liam Neeson. The lowlight: MacFarlane trying to mimic Ray Romano (that unfortunately sounds more like Teddy from Bob's Burgers doing an impression of Yoda), but, hey, I guess that's a highlight in its own right.

Covering All Your Bases for a Disaster Recovery Planning Super Team
Refining Your Disaster Recovery Strategy with a DR Dream Team
Refining Your Disaster Recovery Strategy with a DR Dream Team
If you're in the beginning stages of disaster recovery planning, or you're looking to improve your process, putting together a DR team is a vital first step. Without the right personnel working together, collaborative DR planning can be fragmented and go unfinished. For a strong beginning, assemble an expert team with specializations covering all areas of IT, Disaster Recovery Journal explained.
We've combined advice from Disaster Recovery Journal with Flexential's DR planning processes to compile a list of roles that are key to successful, group-oriented disaster recovery planning. The list may contain positions that aren't necessarily specified within your organization, and that's ok—start by assigning DR planning team roles prior to working on your strategy.
Your DR Planning Team: Who Should Be Included?
Executive Management
Executive team members don't need to be heavily involved with DR planning, but they should definitely provide oversight. You'll need approval for objectives involving:
- Strategy
- Policy
- Budget
- Dealing with Obstacles
Crisis Management Coordinator
The crisis management coordinator should be a business leader who will head up data recovery management should catastrophe strike. This person will:
- Initiate recovery plans with the team
- Coordinate efforts from beginning stages through successful recovery
- Administrate problem resolution as issues arise
- Eliminate factors that are delaying the process
Business Continuity Expert
Business continuity is an objective integral to disaster recovery, and it's a broader initiative. Business continuity is focused on the groundwork and strategy implemented to allow business to continue operations, or fully recover operations, if a disaster event does come to pass. It's focused on the whole of the organization and encompasses specific technologies and business functions.
That said, the Business Continuity Expert should cover two responsibilities:
- Make sure that the DR strategy and plan is in alignment with business needs, which are determined by a thorough Business Impact Analysis (BIA). The BIA should be complete before DR planning starts. If you haven't done one, you can complete an informal BIA so as not to hold up the process, but know that a complete, strategic BIA is critical to successful DR. It identifies specific goals and allows DR efforts to support actual recovery needs.
The Business Continuity Expert should facilitate open communication between business and IT and eliminate any alignment discrepancies.
- Confirm that the critical pieces of business continuity are clear and present in the DR plan. The IT team will cover technology know-how, but they might not be aware of the fundamentals of business continuity that play a role in an emergency: correct reporting procedure in the midst of an event, contact information for critical personnel and vendors, etc. These are major factors for a smooth, successful recovery.
Impact Assessment and Recovery Team
The Impact Assessment and Recovery team will have the most responsibility in an actual recovery; they have most of the expertise. You'll need four infrastructure representatives to cover networks and telecom, servers, storage, and databases. Each should be accountable for identifying, implementing, and testing the correct solutions and strategies which will ultimately recover operations. These strategies should be meeting the demands of the critical business units identified within the BIA. Here's what each representative should be focusing on:
- Networks and telecom
- Servers
- Storage
- Database administration
Without storage, servers, and firewalls, nothing works. Telecom is critical to enabling communications, too. The networks and telecom group should understand your organization's network infrastructure and possess the capability to head up the recovery tactics necessary if connectivity gets taken down. They should also know how the voice communication infrastructure; a disruption will make it hard for personnel to communicate both internally and with external customers and partners.
Most technology assets operate on some kind of server, so the server rep needs to know the server and OS infrastructure like the back of their hand, as well as the replication and backup technologies that are required to execute recovery. Virtual machines are the norm now, so the server rep should also be aware of the differences between virtual and physical environments, and implications for DR.
Here's where replication and the protection of data come in: both are at the center of your recovery capability and strategy. In many cases, storage within the processing environment isn't local, in spite of whether the servers are physical or running the virtual environment.
Databases that hold application data are architectures in and of themselves. They can be operate on shared or individual servers, or might be shared among applications. Data protection has an impact on application data and database recovery, so the database administration representative needs to make sure all of his or her bases are covered.
IT Applications Monitor
The IT Applications Monitor can have a varying level of influence and responsibility depending on your plans for IT infrastructure recovery, as well as the severity of disruption. However, the IT Applications Monitor should know exactly which application tasks need to be executed based on how the Impact Assessment and Recovery Team is planning restoration, including:
- Data consistency
- Application integrations
- App settings and configuration
The IT Applications Monitor should be collaborating with the Impact Assessment and Recovery in the process of identifying recovery steps and put together a plan that addresses critical business unit requirements.
A Nice-to-Have, Not a Need-to-Have: Critical Business Unit Advisors
You can make your DR Planning Dream Team work without these individuals, but your efforts will be greatly enhanced if you can involve representatives from each business unit within the BIA to provide feedback on DR planning efforts. It's a proactive move to talk about the plan in the initiation stage to gain input from unit advisors. The effort helps identify whether business processes will be affected by proposed recovery steps, and provides the opportunity to discuss feasibility. Otherwise, the DR Planning Team may recommend recovery efforts that will negatively affect the needs put forth by each business unit within the BIA.
Final Thoughts
Critical business units should be your primary focus, but don't overlook the less critical applications; they still play a role. If a disaster does occur, the functionality of systems and processes will be affected, and they'll require restoration, so while ancillary applications may not be do-or-die, it's worth talking about how you'll get them up and running when the time comes.
Once you put your DR Planning Team together, you'll be well equipped to create comprehensive, effective business recovery plans that address your needs across all units. Working together with individuals from each area of technology puts you in a better position of defense, and allows personnel to share ideas and expertise before strategy development is executed.
If you think coordination among teams might be a bumpy process, integrate a DR template into the mix. This will bring together the responsibilities of all parties and help you create a formal Disaster Recovery solution from scratch and tailor a plan specific to your company's needs while uncovering potential gaps.
If you're looking to develop a DR plan, or would like to revisit your current one, Flexential can point you in the right direction. Reach out to us today at www.viawest.com/contact-us or (866) 473-2510 to speak with one of our experts.

Call & Post tells AP: Sen. Turner "Aunt Jemima" cartoon isn't "hurtful"
By ModernEsquire On December 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Call & Post is actually defending its depiction of State Senator as "Aunt Jemima" by saying they don't intend the reference to be a hurtful depiction.
Seriously, how could anyone take this as a hurtful depiction?
In other news, Call & Post declared "Song of the South" the greatest Disney movie ever made.
Also, "Amos & Andy" were misunderstood symbols of appreciation of African-American culture by white America.
And Buckwheat was "O'tay!" too.
Seriously, if the intent of Call & Post in depicting Turner as Aunt Jemima wasn't hurtful, then what WAS their intent?
