Personal growth is our primary focus, and children of all ages can learn in a safe and friendly environment where they can acquire discipline and self-confidence.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 20, 2013
In 2012 three avid health and fitness enthusiasts formed Revolution Laboratories to promote health and sell products designed to provide essential nutrients. RevLabs provides full and comprehensive lines of workout and diet supplements to meet the daily necessities of active adults, but they did not stop there. Unsatisfied with merely providing products, RevLabs also provides eBooks for diet advice and to help users create personal workout routines. A blog supplements these products with free daily advice, tips, and tricks.
Now, in a further effort to help people get fit and healthy, RevLabs introduces their new training facility, helping to promote healthy activity in children and adults. Classes offered include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Judo, martial arts that teach self-defense and focus on using your body to neutralize opponents rather than teaching to strike with hands or feet. These sports provide not only activity, but also teach self-discipline, respect, anger management, and sportsmanship.
The purpose of the classes can be found on their website: "We provide the best kids program in the country for both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo. We stress the value of sportsmanship and etiquette all while helping children to overcome their obstacles. Personal growth is our primary focus, and children of all ages can learn in a safe and friendly environment where they can acquire discipline and self-confidence."
Classes for children are split into two age groups, 3-7 years, and 7-13 years. Children 14 and older are encouraged to participate in adult-level classes. One of the primary focuses of the RevLabs Training Center is family health, by getting young children involved in healthy activities it can help instill practices that carry on in later periods. Because the Training Center offers both children and adult classes, it is a place where adults can get in a fun and healthy workout while connecting and spending quality time with their children.
More information on classes and schedule can be found at RevLabsTC.com

Don't all go rushing to cut off your arms/legs to trade these coupons (thanks Valerie), because not only are they short expiry (most of these are only valid for a few weeks) but also store specific (Loblaw banner stores) AND right now have only been found in Saskatoon.
I just wanted to alert you that these exist AND maybe JUST maybe they were a success out west and Kraft will release them to Ontario next! Keep your eyes open this week at your Loblaw banner stores for these 🙂
Happy Saving!
Thank you Natasha T for sharing this awesome find!

One of the highlights of my entire US West Coast road trip was visiting
the Antelope Canyon. For years this had been on my wish list and when
we finally started planning this trip this year, I could not leave this
one out. It's a long drive from the Grand Canyon to the Antelope Canyon
but it's well worth the drive. If you are a photographer, I would
recommend driving up to Page and staying there for at least one day.
Doing this you will have loads of photographic opportunities you won't
regret later (Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, White Pocket, Lake Powell).
While I'm no expert on photographing the Antelope Canyon (I'm no expert
at all really), here are some tips that may come in handy!
I know you're thinking about cranking up that iso to a higher volume. Unless you're going to the Upper Antelope Canyon (which is the more popular one), you don't need a high iso at all in the Lower Antelope Canyon. The difference between the two is the shape of the canyons. The Lower has a V-shape, which means it's narrower down and wider up. You will be surprised at how much light comes in! The Upper is the exact opposite – it's narrower up and wider down.
2. Wide lens
It's incredibly dusty down there so reconsider changing lenses down there. If you have multiple cameras, bring them all. I guarantee you're going to want to change up your shooting range. If you, like me, don't have that luxury, go with a wide lens. A wide lens takes up so much more of the incredible wide space of the canyon and will prove much more versatile than a portrait lens. These photos were taken with the Canon L 17-40mm f4.0.
3. Aperture
This is a difficult one. I expected having to use a wide aperture. I had reserved a tour in the morning so I knew the light wouldn't be too harsh. However, because the canyon flooded the night before, we couldn't do our tour until noon. At this time, the sun was at its highest point so we had so much harsh light coming in, I did not need a wide aperture. In hindsight, going with a lower aperture was even better. I did not like the photos where I did set a wider aperture because in a canyon, blurry backgrounds is not something you're looking for. Instead, you want to take it all in.
4. Move around
The canyon has so many angles and I've tried shooting from so many different point of views. Shoot up, down, sideways, leaning with your back against the narrow walls to find that sweet spots of low light. It was a challenge! Our guide was a photographer himself so he had loads of tips on where to get the best angles. A tour will take you down the canyon for one hour, which will be enough to take photos if you're not a professional. The next time though, I would love to take the photography tour, which will take you down the canyon for four hours.
5. RAW + manual
As always, shoot RAW and shoot manual!

Rockers' daughters Peaches Geldof, Kimberly Stewart and Leah Wood have posed naked together for the cover of Tatler magazine.
The three girls are the offspring of Bob Geldof, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood.
Musician turned photographer Bryan Adams shot the picture, which features Kimberly on the left, a pregnant Leah in the middle and a heavily tattooed Peaches on the right, all with arms and legs entwined.
But Peaches is merely following in her family's footsteps it seems.
In June her younger sister Pixie posed for the front cover after the society magazine named her "the coolest girl in town".
She wore a nautical-themed outfit and had peroxide bleached hair for the shoot, which looked remarkably similar to her late mother, Paula Yates' punk hair-do.
Paul, who died of a drugs overdose on Pixie's tenth birthday, set the trend her daughters were to follow when she first posed for the cover in 1982.

Cristiano Ronaldo Thinks Spain's Victory Over Portugal Was An "Injustice" (GIF)
Last night at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk, Ukraine, Portugal gave Spain everything they had during their semifinal match at the 2012 UEFA European Football Championships. They nearly equaled them in total attempts on goal (11-10 in favor of Spain) and corner kicks (7-6 for Spain), and they reduced a Spanish team that entered the game with 70% possession in the tournament, to just 57% possession on the night.
There was certainly no shortage of chances for the Portuguese, as Cristiano Ronaldo had several opportunities to put one of his patented free kicks past Spanish keeper and Real Madrid teammate, Iker Casillas, only to watch the ball sore over the crossbar time and time again. And after 120 minutes of play, neither team could find the back of the net, resulting in the need for penalty kicks to determine a winner.
Portugal was looking good early, after keeper Rui Patricio stopped Xabi Alonso on Spain's first penalty kick, but ensuing misses from Portugal's João Moutinho and Bruno Alves, and goals from Spain's next four shooters would result in a Spanish birth in the Euro 2012 finals, and what Cristiano Ronaldo apparently described as an "Injustica," or "Injustice."
At least he didn't cry this time.

A 41-year-old Boston woman was sentenced to jail and ordered to pay restitution after pleading guilty to stealing more than $95,000 from clients of her travel business and from Chinese immigrants seeking to apply for citizenship, prosecutors said.
May Woo Lei was sentenced Tuesday in Suffolk Superior Court to 18 months in jail and 10 years of probation. If Woo violates her probation, she will have to serve an additional year in prison. She pleaded guilty to 21 counts of larceny over $250 and six counts of larceny over $250 of a person 60 or older, Attorney General Martha Coakley's office said.
Woo used her business, Sky Energy Travel Inc., to steal money from clients. She charged clients a fee for filing citizenship applications on their behalf, but she never did. Between November 2009 and February 2012, Woo defrauded 16 clients of more than $53,000, Coakley's office said.
Woo also stole money from clients by falsely claiming she would buy plane tickets for them. Between February and July 2012 and in 2010, Woo fraudulently collected $42,000, Coakley's office said.
While on probation, Woo is prohibited from operating a travel business or accepting money for tickets or reservations, and from advising people on immigration or citizenship issues, the statement said. Woo was also ordered to pay $88,555 in restitution.
Woo is scheduled to report to court next week to begin her sentence, Coakley's office said.Melissa Hanson can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @Melissa__Hanson.

It's an AMD R7970, the processor is an intel i7-4790. I've checked for overheating as these builds are pretty GPU and CPU intense, but the CPU is around 45C and the GPU is around 55, so that's not it either.
The bug that made ships and weapons pitch black in ship select was due to a pow() call with a negative first argument; are there any of those in the new shaders?
Are trails not working for anybody else? Can I also get a roll call of additional people that have working trails?
No. I ended up fixing that bug independently in my own builds before I was aware that a fix had been made in trunk.

After installing PE 11 I started adding media to a catalog. At some point, I removed my hot swap hard disk, and after reinserting it, none of the files in the catalog are available. Everything is missing. I assume the hot swap was the cause.
My strategy now would be to erase the existing catalog, which is useless, and build a new one. Can I simply remove the catalog?
Where is it? How is it named.
The easiest way to create a new catalog is to go to the Organizer's File menu and select Manage Catalogs. On this screen you'll be able to create and assign a new catalog.
Meantime, if you are are on Windows computer, you may want to use the Manage/Disk Management tool to permanently assign a drive letter to your external hard drive. This will keep the Organizer from losing its connection to it if you disconnect the drive and then reconnect it later.

Yeah, but they mean the pickup line. They are testing the sex waters in which they hope to swim. -Stephen
Ha, perhaps in a few cases, but my guy friends know that they are just standing on the shore. That's why it's fun. - Me
In order to prove his point, Stephen shared the Ladder Theory with me. Basically, this theory states that men want to sleep with all women, therefore, they place women on a ladder based on their level of desire to bone her. All women make the ladder, though some cling to the bottom rung. Depending on the woman's appearance and level of willingness, she moves up or down the ladder. This effectively ends any chance of a woman having a heterosexual male as a non-sexual friend.
Women, on the other hand, only care about appearance and money. We might claim to care about other things, but we really don't. Also, women have two ladders. One is the good ladder, where we place men we'd like to have sex with. The other ladder is for "just friends". We place men on either one or the other, no exceptions. Ladder jumping is a very rare occurrence if it even exists. Women are also deceptive and will lead men to believe they have been placed on the good ladder, even when there isn't a snow ball's chance in hell of that ever happening. While slightly more complicated than the male, single-ladder setup, it's still fairly simplistic in design.
My head was swimming with all the information I'd absorbed (not really) so I decided I should take a few moments to discuss it with my trusted associates. Is it all really that simple? Here are a few things my advisers feel should be noted.
Men's comments:
1. Play the emotions. Weddings, funerals, life tragedies... these are all opportune times for men to try to make the jump. "At weddings there is always one girl crying in the bathroom who drank too much, feels fat, or isn't loved. Then it's just nice shoes. Let's f*ck. Come on, let's fuck it off." - The 3 H's (Haynes-Hicks-Horton... or as they prefer to be called, Happy-Horny-Hold'er Down.)
In this case I was told to think Wedding Crashers. "Perhaps play a little game called just the tip, just for a second, just to see how it feels."
2. "If you don't know which ladder you're on, you're on the friends ladder." -Troy
I have to agree with Troy on this one. If I have placed a man on the good ladder, he will not have to wonder about it. I think this is what makes it very difficult to understand when a I hear a man complain that he doesn't know where he stands. Women might not verbally say, "I'm never going to sleep with you", but the words are being spoken loud and clear anyway (usually - gold diggers and opportunists are the exception here).
Women's comments:
1. We actually do care about personality. It doesn't matter what you look like or how much you make if you are a douche. A great smile might get you dinner, but you won't even get to first base if that's all you have in your arsenal.
2. All men go on the friend ladder first. Jumping is more frequent than you know, in both directions.
3. There is a third ladder men like to pretend doesn't exist. "I do agree that men only have a single ladder. But I disagree that women only have 2 ladders, there is the very important 3rd ladder which consists of "done him – did that". On the 3rd ladder are men you have had sex with, and would rather have your legs grafted together than to even consider a second go round. The men on this ladder proved themselves so rotten in bed, having neither talent, or the ability to learn basic skills. He is so bad that you would consider sending a card of sympathy to anyone he is dating. You can not keep him on as a Lover and he disgusts you so much that there is no possibility of friendship." - Dawn
I would like to add to this that completely asinine behavior will move you right to the unspeakable 3rd ladder.
After getting such great feedback from my office pros I felt it was only right to reach out to my readers. How do YOU Ladder?
|Over to you!

A message from the editor
By Renee Carey
Published in News on July 15, 2012 1:50 AM
Being the editor of a daily newspaper does not often lend itself to joyous interactions with mankind.
In fact, much of my day is occupied by politicians, crime news and what the latest Washington misstep is doing to damage the economy.
So, when I heard about the Kuhlman family's dilemma, my sometimes reluctant heart skipped a beat and I started adding up the numbers in my head.
Whom could I call? My brother, my parents, my best friend from my first job?
Maybe if we all pooled our resources, we could make this happen.
But then I remembered where I live and work.
And I decided to ask you to help.
And did you ever.
I have been in Wayne County for almost eight years, and I have seen many, many examples of the incredible people who live here.
Your hearts are so big, and you understand that it is not enough to talk about caring for others, that you have to be there when they need you. And you answer those calls over and over again -- even if your own coffers are not as full as they used to be. There is no holding back when there is a need.
Within hours of our reporter Ken Fine's wonderful story telling you of the Kuhlmans' plight, there were checks at our door.
Some were small, some were large, but all of them came with notations both in honor of the pets who have meant so much in your lives and offering your support and thanks to the airmen and their families at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
Some of you are ex-military -- and you have been there. And some of you have a child who would be lost without his or her best furry friend. Some of you even jotted down a notation to a beloved "grandpet" or told us stories of the animals who have forever etched their way into your lives and hearts.
You are dog people and cat people -- and some were both.
A few of you even had pets who had made their own journeys to England -- and one special memorial was made to Jubilee, who made the reverse trip years ago.
But there is one thing you all have in common -- caring hearts, hundreds of them.
There were many generous donations, but there were just as many that came in small increments -- and they meant just as much to us and to the Kuhlmans.
We have raised the money to send William, Short Round and Schootch to England. They leave at the end of this month. The Kuhlmans have promised to send photos, which we will share with you.
After months of worry and sadness, the human members of this family are now looking forward to their new adventure, together, as a family.
But making one family happy is not all you have done.
We have enough money to work with the Airman and Family Readiness Center to set up a way to help other families in the same circumstance. All the extra money, we will announce the final total after we have made the payments to the airline, will go toward helping SJAFB families as they defend us at home and around the world.
We will give you the details later.
But you might not be aware, you accomplished something else, too.
This story is getting a lot of attention.
We have heard from a national rescue that works with military personnel and their pets. They are considering adding a pet relocation fund to their efforts to allow them to help families like the Kuhlmans keep their pets.
We have also heard that at another agency there might be changes in the future in how pet relocation might be categorized.
And then there is the airline, you caught their attention, too.
Not a bad week's work for a little town, huh?
We will keep you posted on the developments as they come along, but we could not let the Sunday paper pass without letting you know how much we admire and respect this community.
You came through again -- and shocked this hardened, but still gooey inside, editor.
Please don't tell anyone. I have a reputation to uphold.

Infographic Low-down on Oils
I don't know about you, but it seems like there is a huge amount of conflicting evidence out there about which oils and fats are safe to cook with and which really should ideally be enjoyed cold.
So, I was delighted when I stumbled across this fantastic infographic, courtesy of David McCandless of Information is Beautiful which clearly demonstrates the safe heating temperatures of all different sorts of cooking fats, as well as which are at risk of transforming into harmful trans-fats when heated. It is a really handy guide!

CONTRARY to recent evidence, Michael Owen is not the player he was. And Gerard Houllier should know. The Liverpool manager said last week that since his striker came back from his interminable hamstring problems he has discovered "a different Michael Owen" - a better one.
Having spent the best part of a year out with such a troublesome injury one might have expected at least a marginal loss of pace - which, of course, was Owen's great fear - but the Liverpool manager said that not only had he not lost his pace but that he had improved.
"I've discovered a different Michael Owen," he said. "He's stronger and more solid in the face of tackles now and, skill-wise, he has improved, too. His movement and link play is also better while his speed is the same. He is also more consistent over 90 minutes, there is no dropping off."
Owen, speaking at the launch of his new book, felt sufficiently confident that his problems were far enough behind him to talk freely about his darkest hours. "I was down when I first came back because I thought I might have lost a yard of pace and that was probably the lowest I've been," he said. "Pace is obviously an important part of my game - as it is of everyone's game. I always knew I would get it back, I just wanted it back quick."
Unfortunately, the restoration of England's superstar has been a long, painful process ever since he first injured his hamstring, in a League game at Elland Road in April of last year. Including the original injury, he broke down four times in the space of nine months. "It's been a gradual healing process," he said. "You can never rule out injury in the game but, yeah, I'm confident that's it. If that's the only serious injury I have in my career I'll be grateful."
Owen, who on Thursday will be named in England's squad to face Germany on Oct 7, is in no doubt that having a proper pre-season - probably his first ever - has been of huge benefit to him. The four previous close seasons were spent either playing in international tournaments or laid up because of the injury. It has not been so much the volume of games as the lack of a decent break.
He got an earlier holiday than anticipated this summer due to England's premature elimination from Euro 2000, but it was not one that he welcomed. England's performance still rankles with him. "We're a better side than we showed at Euro 2000 - that's a fact," he said firmly. "Ninety-nine times out of a hundred we'd play better than at Euro 2000."
The prospect of failing to qualify for the World Cup finals is something he cannot bring himself to contemplate. "It would be a sin for the players we've got in this country," he said. "David Beckham and people like that are made for the big stage. That's where they prove what they're all about." Just as Owen did two summers ago.
Now he finds himself in his best form since that World Cup quarter-final against Argentina - he scored his seventh goal of the season yesterday against Sunderland - as England prepare for their biggest test since then. Apparently, the banter between Liverpool's English and German players is warming up nicely prior to next month's World Cup qualifier.
"Unfortunately for England, but fortunately for Liverpool, our German contingent [Dietmar Hamann, Christian Ziege and Marcus Babbel] are playing really well at the moment," said Owen. It is a game in which Owen would dearly love to score the winner, it being Wembley's last match. First, though, he has to be selected. Houllier is no doubt that the new Owen could play the lone striker's role, if that is what Kevin Keegan wants. Anything is preferable to him being a substitute, as he was for the game against France earlier this month. "Michael is the type of player that if you had 90 games, he would want to play in 91," said Houllier.
Two summers ago it would have been inconceivable that anyone could criticise Owen's ability, yet while he was struggling to regain his fitness last season there was some sniping at his alleged technical deficiencies. Owen rode the criticism as intelligently as he does most tackles. "Ok, I'm 20-years-old and I've got so much time ahead of me to improve but certainly what I can give to a team far outweighs, I think, what I can't give to a team. And what I can't give I'm trying every day to improve. That's all, I think, anyone can ask."
Houllier accepted in crucial moments he could show "a bit more composure", but that would come with experience. "The good thing about Michael is he wants to improve every day," he said. "I've never worked with anyone who was as good as Owen is at such a young age."

A common example when talking about why it's a good thing to be able to do PITR (Point In Time Recovery) is the scenario where somebody or some thing (operator or buggy application) dropped a table, and we want to do a recover to right before the table was dropped, to keep as much valid data as possible.
PostgreSQL comes with nice functionality to decide exactly what point to perform a recovery to, which can be specified at millisecond granularity, or that of an individual transaction. But what if we don't know exactly when the table was dropped? (Exactly being at the level of specific transaction or at least millisecond).
On way to handle that is to "step forward" through the log one transaction at a time until the table is gone. This is obviously very time-consuming.
Assuming that
DROP TABLE is not something we do very frequently in our system, we can also use the
pg_xlogdump tool to help us find the exact spot to perform the recovery to, in much less time. Unfortunately, the dropping of temporary tables (implicit or explicit) is included in this, so if your application uses a lot of temporary tables this approach will not work out of the box. But for applications without them, it can save a lot of time.
Let's show an example. This assumes you have already set up the system for log archiving, you have a base backup that you have restored, and you have a log archive.
The first thing we do is try to determine the point where a
DROP TABLE happened. We can do this by scanning for entries where rows have been deleted from the
pg_class table, as this will always happen as part of the drop.
We've just flipped the switch on www.postgresql.org to be served on https only. This has been done for a number of reasons:
We have not yet enabled HTTP Strict Transport Security, but will do so in a couple of days once we have verified all functionality. We have also not enabled HTTP/2 yet, this will probably come at a future date.
Please help us out with testing this, and let us know if you find something that's not working, by emailing the pgsql-www mailinglist.
There are still some other postgresql.org websites that are not available over https, and we will be working on those as well over the coming weeks or months.
After giving my presentation at ConFoo this year, I had some discussions with a few people about the ability to put constraints on JSON data, and whether any of the advanced PostgreSQL constraints work for that. Or in short, can we get the benefits from both SQL and NoSQL at the same time?
My general response to questions like this when it comes to PostgreSQL is "if you think there's a chance it works, it probably does", and it turns out that applies in this case as well.
For things like UNIQUE keys and CHECK constraints it's fairly trivial, but there are also things like EXCLUSION constraints where there are some special constructs that need to be considered.
Other than the technical side of things, it's of course also a question of "should we do this". The more constraints that are added to the JSON data, the less "schemaless" it is. On the other hand, other databases that have schemaless/dynamic schema as their main selling points, but still require per-key indexes and constraints (unlike PostgreSQL where JSONB is actually schemaless even when indexed).
Anyway, back on topic. Keys and constraints on JSON data.
In PostgreSQL, keys and constraints can be defined on both regular columns and directly on any expression, as long as that expression is immutable (meaning that the output is only ever dependent on the input, and not on any outside state). And this functionality works very well with JSONB as well.
So let's start with a standard JSONB table:
postgres=# CREATE TABLE jsontable (j jsonb NOT NULL);
postgres=# CREATE INDEX j_idx ON jsontable USING gin(j jsonb_path_ops);
Of course, declaring a table like this is very seldom a good idea in reality - a single table with just a JSONB field. You probably know more about your data than that, so there will be other fields in the table than just the JSONB field. But this table will suffice for our example.
A standard gin index using jsonb_path_ops is how we get fully schemaless indexing in jsonb with maximum performance. We're not actually going to use this index in the examples below this time, but in real deployments it's likely one of the main reasons to use JSONB in the first place.
To illustrate the constraints, let's add some data representing some sort of bookings. Yes, this would be much better represented as relational, but for the sake of example we'll use JSON with a semi-fixed schema. We'll also use a uuid in the JSON data as some sort of key, as this is fairly common in these scenarios.
postgres=# INSERT INTO jsontable (j) VALUES ($${
"uuid": "4e9cf085-09a5-4b4f-bc99-bde2d2d51f41",
"start": "2015-03-08 10:00",
"end": "2015-03-08 11:00",
"title": "test"
I have just pushed code for a new version of the codebase for Planet PostgreSQL.
For those of you who are just reading Planet, hopefully nothing at all should change. There will probably be some bugs early on, but there are no general changes in functionality. If you notice something that is wrong (given a couple of hours from this post at least), please send an email to planet(at)postgresql.org and we'll look into it!
For those who have your blogs aggregated at Planet PostgreSQL, there are some larger changes. In particular, you will notice the whole registration interface has been re-written. Hopefully that will make it easier to register blogs, and also to manage the ones you have (such as removing a post that needs to be hidden). The other major change is that Planet PostgreSQL will now email you whenever something has been fetched from your blog - to help you catch configuration mistakes bigger.
The by far largest changes are in the moderation and administration backend. This will hopefully lead to faster processing of blog submissions, and less work for the moderators.
The PostgreSQL core team are happy to welcome Dean Rasheed as a new committer to the project.
Dean has been involved wih patch review and authorship for a while, and will now get the extra workload of also pushing other patches through the final hurdles!
Nordic PGDay is a yearly one-day conference in the Nordic region, and this year it will be held in Helsinki, Finland, on March 17th. We have just opened up for registration! The event sold out in the past two years, so get your tickets early!
The call for papers is still open, which means that we do not yet have a schedule. We hope to post this as soon as possible after the CfP closes, but you can as usual count on a full day of interesting talks about PostgreSQL!
And for those of you who are interested in speaking, yes, the CfP is open until the end of this week. Get your submissions in!
It's that time of the year again - we've wrapped PGConf.EU 2014, and I've just closed the feedback system, so it's time to take a look at what's been said.
We're keeping fairly consistent numbers with previous years, which is something we are definitely happy with. We did have a slight drop in "overall view", since this year we had 8% ranking us as 3, a worse score than we saw last year, and we had a couple of fewer people voting 5. And a slight shift from 5 to 4 on the programme. The numbers are still good of course, but since we had a tiny drop last year as well, we need to step our game back up for next year!
This year we had a slightly bigger spread of how users identify themselves, seeing most categories chip away a little on DBAs and Developers, but they are still definitely the dominating categories. We also have a lot of returning developers - it's cool to see so many people who have been to every one of our events so far, combined with a full 25% being first-time attendees!
The POODLE attack on https (the attack is about https, the vulnerability in SSL, an important distinction) has received a lot of media attention lately, so I figured a (very) short writeup was necessary.
The TL;DR; version is, you don't have to worry about POODLE for your PostgreSQL connections when using SSL.
The slightly longer version can be summarized by:
For a really good writeup on the problem, see this post from PolarSSL, or this one from GnuTLS.
Todays release marks the end of life for PostgreSQL 8.4, after 5 years of service.
I've found it interesting that PostgreSQL 8.4 was probably the first release to actually make it possible to run fairly busy PostgreSQL installations without any hands-on at all. There were many important parts to 8.4 that made that happen, such as much better standby database support (though not hot standby yet - that came in 9.0) and better statistics and monitoring systems. 8.4 also came with Recursive CTEs (WITH-queries) and Window Aggregates, both of which made a whole new set of applications possible.
But I think nothing actually brought about this "run without hands-on" as much as the new code for Visibility Map (VM) and in particular the automatic sizing of the Free Space Map (FSM). Anybody who deployed 8.3 or earlier in any kind of busy environment knows the pain of trying to configure max_fsm_pages correctly. It was almost impossible to get it right, and the value of right kept changing with your load and data. And the worst part of it all was that if you got it wrong you were in trouble - there wasn't really any remedy other than taking your database offline (or at least read-only) for manual full database vacuums (there were tricks to get around the vacuum specifics, but the core problem was there). So what happened was that a lot of those people who knew what to do just increased that number to something that was "big enough", which usually meant "way too big" and thus wasting resources. And even with that, sometimes ran into it not being big enough because the workload changed.
In fact, I think more or less every single system I did reviews for customers for on those versions had a substantially wrong number in max_fsm_pages - usually the default value because they had no idea what to do with it - and were paying the price for it.
Extra funny is that I've been talking to Heikki (who wrote the dynamic FSM and VM code) a few times recently, and he's still surprised that these changes had such a big impact on real life deployments. Probably because it's one of those things that is usually not a big problem at all in small installations, developer installations, and testing systems, but can quickly snowball in real life production. I think many of us didn't realize before the release actually made it out there how useful it would be.
This feature, together with things like Recursive CTEs and Window Functions really makes 8.4 one of the landmark PostgreSQL releases. It's easier to point to releases like 9.0 which had Streaming Replication and Hot Standby because they are sexier and more marketable features, but infrastructure like this is more important than we often think.
8.4 got rid of some of the hardest things to tune. Let's stay on the path of trying to keep the system simple enough to use that it doesn't need handholding, and look forward to the upcoming 9.4 release!
PostgreSQL can, as many other products, use SSL to secure client/server communications. It can be configured to be optional or required, to require a client certificate, or even to use the SSL client certificate to log in. However, the DBA tools are currently a bit lacking in this regard. In particular, there is no way for a DBA to see what SSL parameters are in force (or indeed if SSL is enabled at all) for an already existing connection.
There are multiple ways to see the status of a specific connection (such as the libpq PQgetssl() function, the psql startup message or the sslinfo module. Unfortunately all these methods have one thing in common - they are only available to the process making the connection to the database, not to a DBA inspecting the system from the outside.
9.4 will make it a little bit better, because log_connections now include SSL information when the user connects, similar to:
LOG: connection authorized: user=mha database=postgres SSL enabled (protocol=TLSv1.1, cipher=ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA)
But this can still be a bit of a pain to figure out for existing connectioons of course.
To deal with this problem, I've written a small PostgreSQL extension called pg_sslstatus. When loaded using shared_preload_libraries it will keep track of the SSL status for each connection, and expose it through a system view named pg_sslstatus like this:
postgres=# SELECT * FROM pg_sslstatus;
pid | ssl | bits | compression | version | cipher | clientdn
27286 | t | 256 | f | TLSv1 | ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA |
26682 | t | 256 | t | TLSv1 | ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA | /C=AU/ST=Some-State/O=Internet Widgits Pty Ltd/CN=magnus
26693 | f | | | | |
(3 rows)
It will include one row for each connection, and can then be joined with either pg_stat_activity or pg_stat_replication to view the SSL data in a bigger context:
postgres=# SELECT datname, usename, client_addr, ssl, cipher FROM pg_stat_activity INNER JOIN pg_sslstatus ON pg_stat_activity.pid=pg_sslstatus.pid;
datname | usename | client_addr | ssl | cipher
postgres | mha | 127.0.0.1 | t | ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA
postgres | mha | | f |
pgweb | pgweb | | f |
(2 rows)
The extension is available from my github account today for existing version of PostgreSQL, under the standard PostgreSQL license. My plan is to work on having a similar view included in PostgreSQL 9.5 by default, but it's unfortunately too late to include it in 9.4 at this point.

"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," the second installment in the series, churns like a lump of moldy dough sitting in the pit of your stomach, trying ever so hard to be digested.
Deduction: Sherlock Holmes' return is a highly stylized, amplified cacophony of dreck.
Guy Ritchie's first "Sherlock Holmes" was a feast for the eyes and mind, with intelligent plot lines, semi-layered characters and fine acting. There was a sense of pride in taking on the world's greatest detective.
But all that was successful before is absent from this overblown, nonsensical sequel. The film is so dull it kills the desire to ever go back and rewatch the original.
The crime committed here? A dumb screenplay. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law, both terrific actors, are not to blame. They're just victims to the lack of substance they have to work with. The pair deliver empty dialogue, tell stale jokes and run amok trying to save Europe from inevitable war.
But unlike the original, who cares?
Holmes here is less detective and more Wile E. Coyote; he dresses in drag, rides a ridiculously small pony highlighted by sweeping cinematography, and dies multiple times. Note to filmmakers: do not waste our time on sentimental death scenes for titular characters in franchise films.
Finally for "Game of Shadows," Holmes is pitted against his arch nemesis: the insidious criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris). Holmes fans will be disappointed by a great many things with the film, but the terribly weak and nearly non-existent battle of wits between Holmes and Moriarty takes the prize.
"Game of Shadows" presents itself more as an action-adventure flick, laced with kinetic editing and explosions, than the game of cat and mouse that made the first film appealing.
Admittedly, the explosive chase scene through the woods with Ritchie's signature stylized slow motion is really cool. But style killed substance in "Game of Shadows" and it's doubtful that even the world's greatest detective can find the clue to salvage the franchise.

Blair's Middle East envoy role costs Britain 400,000 poundsNovember 14th, 2007 - 2:43 pm ICT by admin
London, Nov.14 (ANI): Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's role as Middle East envoy to the Quartet is costing British taxpayers 400,000 pounds.
According to the Daily Mail, this money helps fund the ex-Prime Minister's staff and office in Jerusalem. It was thought the cost to Britain would be minimal because he is employed by the Quartet, an international coalition of the UN, the EU, the U.S. and Russia. But the UK is paying a significant share of the total cost of at least two million pounds.
Four British diplomats have also been drafted in to work for Blair in his peace process role.
Critics questioned why taxpayers are funding such a large amount when Blair does not report to Parliament, but directly to the Quartet.
Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Lord Oakeshott said: "British taxpayers should only pay their fair share of Blair."
Former Tory Minister Lord Trefgarne, who demanded the figures in a Parliamentary question, said the expenses are "pretty substantial".
Lords Minister Baroness Royall of Blaisdon told peers Blair received no salary in his role as quartet representative - but he is entitled to claim for travel and other expenses.
Last week, Blair was criticised for charging 240,000 pounds for a "boring" speech in the Chinese industrial city of Dongguan.
According to newspaper commentators, the speech was not interesting. One commentator said that Blair trotted out the same platitudes that could be heard from local officials.
Blair's audience comprised 600 businessmen and officials, and 100 clients of his hosts, Guangdong Guangda Group, a local real estate company.
In a speech, the Chinese title of which translates as "From Greatness to Brilliance", Blair described his personal connections with the country - his sister-in-law is Chinese - while he revealed that his seven-year-old son, Leo, was studying Mandarin at school.
The China Youth Daily, which is published by the Communist Youth League but is one of the country's more progressive papers, said the speech was full of pleasantries and clich

Welcome to the Cottage Grove, Oregon IOOF Lodge!
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows has been a part of life in Cottage Grove since since August 21, 1880. Though many fraternal organizations have lost membership since the early 20th Century, the Cottage Grove Odd Fellows are reinventing themselves and preparing for a renaissance of community involvement and mutual support under the traditional Odd Fellows motto of Friendship, Love, and Truth.
This is a placeholder website.
If you're looking at this website, and you're wondering why it's so sparse on information, that's why.
Eventually, this site will be full of great information about the Odd Fellows, including reasons you'll want to join up and get involved. For now, though, this is just a bunch of verbiage to show off what this website might someday be...
... Hang on a second! How did you even find this website, anyway? It's clearly not ready to be shown off to the public, so if you're not an Odd Fellow looking at the site in order to figure out what needs to be written here, I'm curious as to where, exactly, you came from!
Ooo! Maybe you're here because you're investigating our connection to the shadowy Bavarian Illuminati, and you're certain we've got Big Secrets to uncover. Well, I can neither confirm nor deny those rumors, obviously, but I can certainly give you some mysterious Latin to whet your excitement. 'Cause I'm nice like that! So here you go:
Vestibulum tempus urna vitae neque vehicula sit amet tristique felis ultrices. Phasellus eu laoreet mauris. Integer sit amet ante nec ipsum euismod hendrerit et eget sapien. Duis velit ante, semper nec dapibus adipiscing, pellentesque vitae orci. Etiam adipiscing, justo ut faucibus placerat, neque libero accumsan ipsum, non pellentesque ligula nibh id justo.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum was seen doing some shopping in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, California a couple of days ago. It looks like she picked up quite a few clothes!
Jenna wore one of her favourite denim items, a denim shirt. It looks like it's so warm in LA right now! I can't imagine going out in a white summer dress like this one and sunglasses here in England right now. It would be freezing!

KDE Plasma 5.7
Thursday, 16 June 2016. Today KDE releases a beta update to its desktop software, Plasma 5.7.
Today we are delighted to announce that KDE e.V. is joining the advisory board of The Document Foundation, the foundation backing LibreOffice and the Document Liberation Project. The Document Foundation also joins KDE e.V.'s group of advising community partners as an affiliate.
As already hinted at in the article about KDE's Vision, the next step in setting our path into the future is defining KDE's Mission statement. Right after our Vision was published, a group of people started drafting a Mission statement and discussing it on the kde-community mailing list.
While we agreed on most aspects of the Mission, it became obvious that on some key issues, we just had quite different individual opinions. Even if an individual opinion prevailed in our discussion, we would not know whether that opinion was shared by the majority of the KDE community. This is a problem, because especially in a volunteer-driven community where a Mission cannot be enforced from the top down, it can only have a practical effect if the majority of those doing the work agree with it. However it became obvious that not that many KDE contributors both had the time and were comfortable with contributing to the discussion on the mailing list.
Therefore, in order to still be able to find out what the majority of the community considers the right approach towards our Vision, we set up an online survey, hoping that this would make it easier for people to voice their opinion in an easy, anonymous way. Since we always focus on our users, we are also interested in the opinion of interested users, so we opened up the survey for everyone.
So, regardless of whether you consider yourself a KDE contributor or "just" an interested user, pleaseParticipate in our survey
It should not take more than 5-10 minutes and providing your input on what KDE should do will help us move towards our Vision!

KDE is thrilled to announce the first at-large version of KDE neon User Edition.
KDE neon User Edition 5.6 is based on the latest version of Plasma 5.6 and intends to showcase the latest KDE technology on a stable foundation. It is a continuously updated installable image that can be used not just for exploration and testing but as the main operating system for people enthusiastic about the latest desktop software.
Today we kick off the third Krita kickstarter! It's beginning to become a tradition. Last year, our Kickstarter backers funded the development of performance improvements and animation support -- and a bunch of other features. Right now, we're still working on finishing up the Krita 3.0 release before we implement the last of the stretch goals you all helped fund last year.
Krita Kickstarter 2016 Video
The KDE e.V. report for the first half of 2015 is now available. It presents a survey of all the activities and events carried out, supported, and funded by KDE e.V. in that period, as well as the reporting of major events, conferences and mentoring programs that KDE has been involved in.
Kai Uwe Broulik reports from open source conference Augsburger Linux-Tag which happened in Bavaria last weekend.
On Saturday, 16 April I had the honor of representing KDE at the 15. Augsburger Linux-Tag, one of the oldest and largest Linux gatherings in southern Germany.
It was my first time attending such an event and it was a great experience. With me I had a computer running the latest and greatest KDE neon with Plasma 5.6 – hooked up to a gorgeous 4K monitor. In addition to that I brought a Nexus 5 running Plasma Mobile and an infrared remote control for browsing Plasma Media Center.
Like a routine now, the KDE PIM spring sprint was held in Toulouse again, first week of April at Ekito's city center office, many thanks to them.
First of all thank to all the participants: Franck Arrecot, Andre Heinecke, Sandro Knauß, Volker Krause, John Layt, Christian Mollekopf, Laurent Montel, Kevin Ottens, Daniel Vrátil that made of this sprint an awesome moment.
As a general theme you could say we were preparing the future of PIM with the goal of stability: reducing some library dependencies, designing a way to reach a better internal architecture, cleaner codebase and improving communication among each contributor of the suite on the release process.

Proud2Be Project CIC is a community-led social enterprise that exists to empower all lesbian, gay, bisexual &/or trans+ (LGBT+) people, their friends and families, to be proud of who they are. Based in South Devon.
Proud2Be began four years ago when founders, Mat and Jon Price, sat in front of their web cam and recorded a short video. In the video, they explained how they are both "proud to be gay".
The brothers then invited others to record similar videos. Since then a number of high profile LGBT+ figures have contributed to the Proud2Be campaign including Stephen Fry who in his own words is happy to be counted as a proud supporter of Proud2Be at every turn. Stephen has also shown his support 'tweeting' about the project on several occasions to his 10.8 million twitter followers.
After participating in the Princes Trust Enterprise Programme, Proud2Be received a grant from the Trust to participate in World Pride, held in London in 2012.
With support from Cornwall School for Social Entrepreneurs, Proud2Be officially launched their online campaign in July.

A Perilous Leap for Life
In this interview from the BBC series entitled "Survivors of the Titanic," Major Prentis describes his flight from the RMS Titanic following her fatal collision with an iceberg. Albeit short, Prentis' story is not lacking in suspense. Listen as he describes his flight for freedom, which was facilitated by a hidden life jacket and an impressive 100 foot plunge from the stern of the ship. The interview was originally conducted April 15, 1966.

Many of you may have seen the Facebook promotion that T.G.I. Friday's began last year. They created a character named Woody. Become a fan of Woody and when he gets 500,000 fans, every one of them gets a free hamburger. It was a terrific hit and soon Woody had over 900,000 fans, as well as their email address and a heck of a marketing database. I personally thought it was a great idea. Woody traveled across the country visiting restaurants and snapping photos with fans, who posted them on the site. There was video, discussions, and a tremendous opportunity to build community.
That is until Woody's girlfriend took him back? What?!? That's it? T.G.I. Friday's and all their genius decided they should stop the promotion and retire Woody? Okay so maybe the actor playing Woody wasn't available anymore or it was getting too costly to ship him around the country. I get it. Why not evolve the site? Give Woody a make-over? If your company acts with this type of short-sighted and short-term thinking then you should probably NOT look to social media as a promotional tool.
T.G.I. Friday's decision to stop the campaign will ultimately do more brand damage than it did positive promotion, and evidence of that is already on display. Many of the "discussions" in the discussion section are negative in nature and rail against the restaurant chain for betrayal. The comments after Woody's announcement are more negative than positive (click on the image to the right to see for yourself). How is this helping their brand? What started as a great idea – a large community of interested followers – is now a forum for bashing Friday's. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, so drop a comment. I'm no longer a fan of Woody's so you won't find me there.

While everyone else is commuting home from work today, a NASA rocket will be making another, longer, trip–taking the agency's newest weather satellite into space! After the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-P (GOES-P) journeys to its orbit 22,000 miles above Earth's surface, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will use the data it gathers to support scientists' work. Though satellites have been around for a while, newer satellite technology like this will undoubtedly play more of a role as climate change alters environmental conditions.
NASA's weather satellites serve a crucial role in monitoring storm development and weather patterns, and the GOES-P, which will be named GOES-15 once it's fully operational, will be no different. The newest satellite technology will collect and beam data back to Earth so scientists can forecast storm and weather patterns, monitor land and ocean temperatures, study changing space conditions, relay communications and even provide search-and-rescue support.
Scientists predict that if carbon emissions and global temperatures continue to rise, storms may become stronger and weather more volatile. Satellites can aid scientists in predicting natural disasters and inclement weather before they wreak too much havoc.

Precision craft
The precision is the sole consideration of BSG procurement of processing equipment. The trivial details of gear processing are often neglected, but we embody our pursuit of Fine Quality via exceptional craft by performing the detailed production plan by all means with all efforts.
Pure and refined
We value not only the basic ingredients but also the purity of raw materials. The procedures of the subsequent heat treatment applying to the pure raw materials free of impurities can be precisely controlled. The gear requires the density over 45 for the robust driving force, so we only use the raw material processed by the 3,500-ton forging pressing machine.
The standard sizes apply to all parts and components. BSG requests all parts and components pass the tests of gauging instruments and the staff make sure quality consistency via a strict control over all details. Thus, BSG redefines the spirit of the brand with The staff as the best instrument.
It is necessary to control the heat and duration precisely in terms of the size of each part to make the depths of tenacity and solidity meet the expectation. Heat control is the key of heat treatment technique and fine skills take time.To attain the fine quality and quantity of products, the complex detailed procedures of heat treatment are irreplaceable. Later, we satisfy the strength design of the raw material via the figures of the physical functions tests.
The gearbox design begins with the structural rigidity. The rigidity covers some levels, including casing structure, gear structure and bearing structure. Various simulations of stress analyses apply to the casing structure to prevent the case from deformation. The lifetime calculation must apply to gear and bearing structures to secure normal operation of the gearbox within the lifetime estimated

Blac Chyna has opened up about her whirlwind romance with Rob Kardashian, and played down rumors that the couple are set to wed in the near future.
The 28-year-old model and Rob confirmed the dating rumors back in January (16), and surprised friends, family and their fans when they announced they were engaged in April.
And the surprises from the couple continued, with the pair confirming Blac's pregnancy on social media earlier this month (May16).
Rumors surrounded the couple after it was reported the extended Kardashian/Jenner family were not welcoming Blac into the fold, as neither mother Kris or siblings Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie congratulated the pair on their exciting news.
However, Blac has denied the claims, and says that things with the famous reality show brood are better than ever. "Rob and I are having a great time celebrating with our friends and family," she told Entertainment Tonight on Saturday (28May16).
"We are going to New Orleans after this and hope they'll join us there. Everyone's happy! Things with Rob's family are fantastic," she gushed.
Blac was talking at the Sky Beach Club at the Tropicana in Las Vegas, Nevada, party on Saturday, where she hosted the event with fiance Rob while showing off her baby bump.
And while she's excited to walk down the aisle, she revealed that the pair are in no rush to plan the big day. "We're taking things slow," she explained.
Blac, who is already mother to three-year-old King Cairo, whom she shares with Kylie Jenner's ex-boyfriend, Tyga, has a protective partner in 29-year-old reality star Rob.
"I'm just chilling and making sure she's straight," he said of his future wife.

Stats for the Obey and SoaR as they've appeared on Tipify
A list of recent matches this team has played, green indicates a win and red a loss. Blue is a draw/cancelled
Going into this game I don't really know what to say. The SoaR side I don't know that well, but from looking around and reading, they don't seem to be the most impressive side I have ever seen. They lost last night to another OB side 16-12 on Cache, and won two games against sides I've never seen before.
OB impressed me at the event we saw them at the other week. APE, Brehze, and especially dsr all played well, and the latter player really made a name for himself. Even top EU players and analysts noticed his performances, and this could be the year where he rises in the NA scene, and makes it into a higher tier. Organised by slemmy, is a good thing. He is an experienced leader, and will know how to get the best out of his players.
Although I don't feel that comfortable betting against a side I don't know, I have not seen any information to make me believe that OB will lose this game. This should, unless something strange happens, be a comfortable 2-0 win, and I would suggest going MED on OB, or SKIPPING if the odds are too bad for your personal bank roll.

- 1 pound Spanish chorizo, chopped
- 2 tablespoons EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 baking potato, peeled and diced
- 6 ears of corn, kernels removed or 3 to 4 cups frozen corn
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 to 5 sprigs thyme, leaves removed and chopped
- 1 fresh or dry bay leaf
- 1 28-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 1 large bunch kale, thick stems removed, leaves roughly chopped (about 4 cups)
- 4 Portuguese rolls or English muffins
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Place a large pot over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the chorizo and cook stirring every now and then for 2-3 minutes. Add the potatoes and corn, and brown that up a little bit, then add bell pepper, onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes.
Pour in the tomatoes and chicken stock, and bring up to a bubble. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the kale and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Just before serving, split and toast the rolls or muffins. Spread them with butter and sprinkle with a little paprika. Garnish soup with parsley or cilantro and lime juice and serve the toasted rolls or muffins alongside.

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) now offers iTunes credits in their "Gifts" section, which means that users can purchase iTunes credits for their friends through Facebook.
Ordering Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s iTunes credits is just as simple as ordering any other Facebook gift. Simply select the iTunes digital gift you want to send to your friend(s), then pay with a credit card.
Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) currently offers mostly physical gifts like food and toys, but now they are adding more digital gifts from the likes of Pandora Media Inc (NYSE:P), Hulu, and Rdio. Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) also teamed up with Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) to allow users to send Starbucks gift cards to friends.
Now that the holidays are approaching, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) wants a piece of the pie. That's why they are amping up their gift choices. Perhaps they're also trying to make up for the recent downturn of Facebook shares. Investors have been wondering if Mark Zuckerberg's company has the ability to sustain revenues in the long-term. That's the reason the social media company lost a significant amount of money and cut their value by half of what they started with last summer. Only time will tell if iTunes will benefit Facebook in the long run.
It would be great if Facebook's recent partnership brought up their revenue, but I think it's going to take a lot more than this to boost up the website. I do think this will add a lot of value to the company, especially this upcoming holiday season. I think many Facebook users will like the fact they can instantly send a gift to their friends, while perusing the website. It will take a little pressure off shopping and will actually make the experience fun. I'm sure in time, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) will add even more gift offerings from various companies. It should be interesting to see how and where the company will take this next.

- Page 3 Performance and Results
- Page 4 Features Table
- Page 5 Test Shots – ISO Performance
- Page 6 Test Shots – Detail And Lens Performance
- Page 7 Test Shots – Zoom, Contrast and Colour
The 1000 HS is packed with advanced high-tech features, but still manages to have a nice simple control interface which is quick and intuitive to operate. There is a three-position slider switch on the top that selects between the video recording mode, the normal program auto mode, or an extra-easy Full Auto mode, in which most user options are disabled. The zoom control is a rotary bezel around the shutter button, and has a smooth two-speed action depending on how far you move the control. The rear panel controls are very simple, with large well-labelled buttons that blend artfully into the overall design of the camera body. The round D-pad has a rotary bezel, and is also integrated into the body design, giving the whole camera a stylish modern look that is both functional and fashionable. It also handles well; the shape is easy to grip and the controls fall neatly under the thumb and forefinger.
There is one unusual aspect to the design of the 1000 HS. It's the first compact camera I've seen in a long while that has separate hatches for the memory card and battery. It uses a new smaller type of Lithium-ion battery that I've not seen before, which is round and narrow and fits neatly into one end of the camera body. It's lower capacity (870mAh) than the one in the 300 HS, and as a result only has a duration of approximately 150 shots, which is rather fewer than the 250 shot capacity of the 300 HS.
The 1000 HS has a wide range of advanced face and scene recognition features, such as a blink detection warning and an amusing wink-activated self-timer feature. You can set the camera up for group portrait, join the group yourself, and then start a three-second timer by winking at the camera. In practice it required a grimace like a bad Popeye impression to activate it, and then only on the third try, but it's a great ice-breaker for parties. Other features such as the night hand-held setting work much better, and the optical image stabilisation, available in both still and video modes, is especially good, providing an impressive four stops of extra stability.
Other cool features include a range of filter effects, such as a fish-eye lens, the "miniature effect" for making photos taken from higher angles look like pictures of tiny models, and a selection of other more common options such as vivid colour, poster effect, a few scene modes and panorama stitching. As with most Canon cameras the 1000 HS has a comprehensive array of colour and tone custom options.
The stand-out feature is of course the full HD video recording, which shoots at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 24fps, with stereo audio recorded via a pair of microphones to the left of the lens, the stereo separation isn't brilliant, but the sound and video quality is very good, and full optical zoom is available during recording.

Mustang: Ideas, Concepts and False Starts
By Christopher A. Sawyer
Speculation on what form the 2015 Mustang will take is rampant. Rumors suggst a car much like the 2011 Evos concept could have moved to production had not Ford's plans for a global rear-drive platform fallen apart. It's not the first time the Mustang has taken a detour, nor will it be the last; as can be seen by the concepts and ideas that never made it intact into production.
As hard as it is to believe, this is not an early '60s Oldsmobile. It's just one of the concepts put forward in 1962 for Ford's nascent pony car. The roofline does look more Ford than GM, but the horizontal bar grille split by a thin, Pontiac-like V-shaped spear and framed by quad headlights looks like it came out of the design studios in Warren, not Dearborn.
Totally out of place is the front wheel well character line that mimics the cove on an early Corvette.

About three weeks ago I migrated from Bloglines to Google Reader. I'd checked out Google's offering some time ago but found it lacking, particularly given that I was such a Bloglines devotee having used it for years.
Turns out that the more recent version of Google Reader is fantastic! So much so that I've made the complete switch. Apart from now being as stable and up-to-date as Bloglines, Reader has a much better (and prettier) interface and has a killer feature up it's sleeve; your unread blog posts are protected from aggregator and/or browser crashes.
Here is the scenario: You go away for a day (or three) and come back to read your blogs. You put aside and hour (or three) and start to delve into the 900 new posts that have accumulated. It's at this point that Bloglines blows. If you choose the regular option and read all of your new posts ("A") then Bloglines tries to download them all into your browser - all at once.
More often than not something goes wrong and the download doesn't complete. Occasionally the browser presents problems (huge memory consumption, high CPU usuage or, sometimes, a crash) as it tries to render the humungous page of posts. So, with large numbers of new posts, there's a very real chance you're going to lose them all. They disappear into the darkest depths of the blogosphere. You see, Bloglines marks them as read once the download begins. Anything goes wrong, kiss new posts bye-bye.
Google Reader is smarter. Instead of downloading them all at once it fetches 20 at a time with AJAXy goodness. When you approach the bottom it grabs the next 20. When each entry is highlighted (when it has focus, or as you thump on the "j" key) it is marked as read. Simple. Slick. And not even a browser crash will cost you more than 20 unread posts. Very slick.
Google Reader isn't perfect and Bloglines is still a great web app but for now I'm a very happy Google Reader fan.
Now, if you're not using a blog aggregator then get on to it! Everyone will be soon, simply because it's the best way to absorb information that is of relevance to you. I can recommend Google Reader.

Chelsea have told Liverpool to forget about signing Ryan Bertrand this summer, after informing the Merseyside club that the defender is not for sale, according to The Observer.
The 23-year-old full-back is the subject of reported transfer interest from Anfield, but remains very much in Jose Mourinho's first-team plans in west London.
Ashley Cole is currently Chelsea's undisputed first-choice left-back, and after signing a new one-year contract to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge, looks like being so again in 2013/14.
However, Mourinho is said to have held talks with Bertrand, to reassure the England youngster - who played in 38 of Chelsea's 69 games last season - that he will play an important role in the campaign ahead.
"I want to be Chelsea's No.1 left-back, and when that time comes it will happen," said Bertrand. "All I can do is be ready and keep playing, keep biding my time.
"I'm thinking of nothing else. I am just focusing on being No.1, concentrating on progression in the games I get, and I've managed to do so in recent years."
Liverpool have Jose Enrique in their ranks, but also played Glen Johnson out-of-position on the left-side of defence on a number of occasions last season, and Brendan Rodgers wants to add another natural left full-back to his ranks this summer.
Rodgers knows Bertrand well from his time as a youth coach at Chelsea, but it now looks as though he'll need to turn his attention to alternative targets.

ITV to air Jean Alexander tribute
- Bang Showbiz
- 1 December 2016
ITV will honour 'Coronation Street' star Jean Alexander in a special Christmas tribute
ITV will honour 'Coronation Street' star Jean Alexander with a special Christmas tribute.
The late actress portrayed the iconic Hilda Ogden on the popular soap from 1964 to 1987, and passed away just days before her 90th birthday in October this year after being taken ill and rushed to hospital.
The special feature will be comprised of classic clips from her time as Hilda, as well as heart-warming messages from friends, family, and cast members.
The special will air as part of the festive schedule due to "massive public affection" for the star and her "tremendously popular soap character".
Although the broadcaster agree Jean's legacy deserves a festive season slot, the programme won't take the top spot on Christmas Day (25.12.16), instead airing on December 20.
An ITV source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There was even talk of putting the tribute to Jean Alexander out on Christmas Day she was that big a character on screen for ITV, but it is now looking like airing just before on December 20.
"The tribute will be packed full of fun and family humour and the programme is already being filmed and is expected to be a real ratings winner.
"Jean was a much loved actress and the public out pouring of grief following her death reminded many at the top of television how iconic soap characters were in the days before TV had so many channels."
'Coronation Street' did air a special episode in memory of Jean at the time of her passing, but bosses say they wanted to remember her with a commemorative programme instead.
And It isn't the first time Jean has stolen hearts over Christmas either, as she bid originally goodbye to the classic soap on Christmas Day in 1987.

Alex Rodriguez, the New York Yankees' injured third baseman, may be trying to ramp up talks that he's ready to return to the field so that he can retire and keep the $114 million owed to him, the New York Daily News is reporting.
Unnamed sources told the newspaper that the former All-Star is worried that Major League Baseball will ban him from baseball after he was connected to the Biogenesis scandal. Rodriguez is intent on making sure he gets back on the field to put his crafty plan into play, the paper claims.
Once he begins playing rehab games, "he could then claim he is physically unable to perform because of the serious hip injury he is recovering from, 'retire' from the game, and still collect the full amount of his salary — $114 million over the next five years," according to the sources.
"It's all about him getting his money and not losing it to suspension," one unnamed source told the Daily News. "He knows he's never going to the Hall of Fame. All that's left for him is to make sure he gets his money — all of it."
Rodriguez could return to the game, find out he can no longer perform up to his standards, then retire before he's hit with a suspension without pay. A player who retires because he is physically unable to perform, even if he's later suspended, would still get the full amount of his contract.
Other unnamed sources told the Daily News they believe the MLB will try to suspend Rodriguez, no matter his status.
A report by ESPN said Rodriguez is concerned that the Yankees don't want him back on the field or in the clubhouse, an accusation the team denies.
According to the source, "Rodriguez felt the GM's response was "over the top," and cemented his belief that the Yankees have been looking for ways to rid themselves of the 10-year, $275 million contract they gave him after the 2007 season.

Check out the size of this menu. Given that only one person orders for the table and that large meals can often last several hours, the size of the selection isn't too surprising.
Because going out to eat at a sit-down dinner is a bigger deal in Chinese culture than in the U.S., I felt that the time spent at dinners was typically longer. The service was noticeably better, but there were certain aspects of the meal (large menus, family meal style with the Lazy Susan) that showed how much more time and value Chinese culture puts into dining out compared to American culture.
