Acres Of Diamonds (20 mins) USA October 13th 10am and Oct 14th1.30pm Sat oct 14th
Director: Shawn Small
In India over 360 million people live in poverty. Of these, no one suffers more than millions of her children, who are exploited and sentenced to a life of bonded slavery. Their precious lives are worked away to pay debts that are not their own. But the tide is turning. Acres of Diamonds examines the two possible lives for vulnerable children in rural, poverty stricken India: A life in slavery with no hope of escape or a flourishing life with Good News India, where they receive food, clothes, education, and love. This film gives a voice to millions of forgotten children who are desperately in need of help. They have a chance at emancipation, if only someone will offer it to them.

text: For the second time since I bought replacement Conti-Silents from Tire Rack, in February, I hit something and cut the sidewall. Their prices were very competitive, the tires are almost always in stock, arrive in 2 days, and most importantly they include free road hazard insurance. A simple phone call or email, followed by sending pictures of the damaged tire, resulted in almost immediate approval for me to order a replacement tire. They send the reimbursement check very quickly, and my only out-of-pocket cost was the mounting and balancing. I very highly recommend them.

Is your MySQL really slow without actually being too busy?
Does your scripts take very long time to connect to the database?
Do you have lots of RAM, strong CPU, just a little traffic and despite that a very long database response time?
Are you seeing connections with "unauthenticated user" while running show processlist in MySQL console?
mysql> show processlist; +------+----------------------+-----------+----------+----------+------+-------+--------------+ | Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info | +------+----------------------+-----------+----------+----------+------+-------+--------------+ | 2047 | unauthenticated user | localhost | myDB | Connect | 81 | | NULL | | 2049 | unauthenticated user | localhost | myDB | Connect | 81 | | NULL | | 2050 | unauthenticated user | localhost | myDB | Connect | 76 | | NULL | ... +------+----------------------+-----------+----------+----------+------+-------+--------------+ 131 rows in set (0.00 sec)
If you answered yes to any of the above questions your MySQL might have a problem with resolving connection's host name.
When attempt is made for a new connection, MySQL tries to resolve the host name for that request. It takes the IP address and resolves it to a host name (using gethostbyaddr()). It then takes that host name and resolves it back to the IP address (using gethostbyname()) and compares to ensure it is the original IP address.
This might considerably increase connection time and slow down your whole application or produce show processlist result as above. You can easily solve this problem by disabling DNS host name lookups. In order to do this you need to run your mysqld with –skip-name-resolve option or add it to your my.cnf file like that:
[mysqld] skip-name-resolve
After that running show processlist will result in "Host" column displaying only IP addresses instead of host names and the connection speed should be much faster.
Just keep in mind that also you have to change allowed hosts for your database users to proper IP addresses.

This also perfectly demonstrates our new "continuous stability" policy - now we really can publish a bugfix release on the next day.
Why next day? Currently each night is spent on thorough testing of "stable" branch:
- Default test sequence conststs of 1020 storage-independent tests (Core, etc.) + 1550 storage-dependent ones on 10 different database engines (so efficiently there are 1020 + 10 * 1550 tests) running on each commit. This sequence exposes about 95-99% of issues immediately.
- Nightly test sequence is running all storage-dependent tests in 6 different configurations (overriding default mappings with 3 different inheritance mapping strategies and 2 different TypeId mapping policies, details are here), so efficiently there are 1020 + 60 * 1550 = 94K tests. And they really take several hours to run on our testing farm consisting of 4 dedicated, but moderate PCs. A joke around this: when a PC gets old, it is plugged into matrix as an Agent (our testing PCs are named AgentSmith, AgentJohnson, AgentThompson, etc.).
Viva Mercurial! Viva TeamCity!

Jerky is finished in a dehydrator when it's completely dry, and it bends without breaking, although cracks may appear. To test the jerky, remove a piece from the dehydrator, allow it to cool for five minutes and bend to check for moisture.Continue Reading
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends heating meat to 160 degrees Fahrenheit to kill bacteria before dehydrating it. Many dehydrators don't operate that high, so the meat needs to cook separately before it's placed in the dehydrator. After the initial cooking, a constant temperature between 130 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit is recommended for the duration of the drying time.Learn more about Meat, Poultry & Seafood

Change Your Notice of Privacy Practices to Comply with HIPAA Mega-RuleApril 1, 2013 – In The News
Now that the final HIPAA "mega-rule" has been published, one compliance item that should be at the top of every practice's to-do list is updating its notice of privacy practices by the Sept. 23 deadline.
HIPAA now requires you to inform patients of their rights and your legal duties concerning uses and disclosers of patent protected health information.
The notice is one of the first documents that patients—and OCR—see when they walk in, says attorney Michael Kline. "The notice is one of those documents you want to be pristine. It shows that you at least know the basics."
The mega-rule requires that providers spell out in the notice certain uses and disclosures needing an authorization, adds attorney Elizabeth Litten.

An Arlington Heights man has been charged with battery after police said he bit a security guard in the shoulder during a scuffle at a grocery store in Buffalo Grove, police said today.
Joe Edwards, 44, of the 220 block of West Nichols road, was charged with battery and retail theft from Dominick's on the 1100 block of West Lake Cook Road. Witnesses told police that Edwards and a companion on Tuesday ran toward a nearby strip mall where police found Edwards and three other men in a vehicle, Cmdr. Steve Husak said.
Edwards had a bottle of tequila and a bottle of vodka from the store, Husak said. A second bottle of tequila broke during the theft.

Over the past two weekends I have had a chance to look at some famous movies and have had very different reactions to it.
The first movie that I saw was "The Color Purple" starring Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey among others. Now before I do talk about what I thought the movie was, I would like to mention a few words about the book. "The Color Purple" is an award winning novel which tells the story of two African American sisters who live through an abusive childhood . Its narrative is in the voice of the older sister who first suffers from an incestous relationship with her father and then marries a violent husband. Its a dark and depressing a book told in such a matter of fact fashion that there is oddly a sense of hope.
Now to translate the subteleties of language into a visual media is no mean feat. Though the movie "The Color Purple" excels in certain areas , in some places it just falls flat.
I believe Whoopi Goldberg's casting as Celie is brilliant ! She plays the elder of the two sisters who because of being raped as a child and being married very young to an abusive and extremely violent husband becomes docile and in some ways stunted in her mental growth. WG nailed the part – her body language was so perfect – the permanent cowering look, the amusing tolerance towards her husband that she has gotton used to , the shyness while talking to strangers.
Celie's sister Nettie disappears from the movie frame soon enought but not without determining the strenght of their relationship and not without leaving Celie an important gift – the ability to read. Nettie promises she will write and Ceilie waits for years and years to receive the letter. Its almost heartbreaking.
The movie is also not just about Celie and Nettie – its also about other black woman and their plight in that pre- war period. Another important character is Sophie who is a complete contrast to Celie. She is loud, imposing and strong willed. She refuses to let the norms of the society get her down and fights abuse boldy – but even she is not able to escape the rascist laws which land her in prison and eventually break her spirit. Oprah Winfrey is another brilliant casting choice for this role and I cannot imagine any other actor play this role at all. She brings such a breath of fresh air into the dreary story that you cannot help but cheer for her when she defends herself.
The other character is that of Shug Avery – she is a club singer and truly liberated. She is also Celine's husband's lover. It is through her that Celine learns to live and love. She represents hope in the lives of the women of the sad little Georgian town.
I dont know enought about African American history during the war period to say if this was an accurate depiction of the state of the woman – but I know enough about the history of women in social structures across the world to not be surprised by any of this. Society so conditions a person that even if something hurts you – you accept it coz thats what you have always known. Celie's spirit broke very early in childhood when her father raped her and when her husband hit her – for her it was as if there was no place in the world where she had any choice and any say. That is why when she saw Sophie saw taking control of her life her only advice to Sophie's husband was – beat her. The movie is a very telling commentary on the structures that societies create and how different people either flourish or die in those structures.
The movie though executed very well with a very good cast begins to fall flat towards the later half. Firstly the movie is too long , even for the kind of story it is trying to tell. The camera tries to hunt for objects of symbolism so desperately that it wastes a lot of time. For a story that is so deep, we dont need to add extra layers of philosophy by panning cameras on fields of purple flowers, sunsets, empty kitchens etc etc.
The movie was quite true to the book and maybe that was not such a good idea. In a book its easier to give multiple messages and have several character based storylines that the reader can get used to – in the movie they should have done some editing and picked some of the most compelling material. A span of 3 hours is not enough to build empathy with the situation of some 5-7 characters in the cast. And with that the message of the movie is lost.
So my verdict : Read the book and then decide if you would want to watch the movie or not.

When the Bush administration announced its national education goals in 1991 -- dubbed America 2000 -- there wasn't much applause from arts educators.
The core curriculum included five subject areas: mathematics, science, history, English and geography. No arts.
The exclusion has been protested by many arts advocates and educators, including some in Connecticut.
In December, a letter signed by John Ostrout, executive director of the state Commission on the Arts; Marilyn Campbell, the acting Commissioner of Education; and Valerie Lewis, the interim Commissioner of Higher Education; was sent to Bush.

The MacBook Air is way overdue for a refresh. It's been 442 days since Apple last updated its notebook that's neither the thinnest nor the lightest on the market anymore. If the company is running short on ideas, they might as well take clues from Bart Reardon's awesome hobby project that turned a busted MacBook Air into a computer in a keyboard.
Putting the MacBook Air's tiny printed circuit board right under the Apple Keyboard with the Magic Trackpad required more work than you'd think due to the lack of space, Reardon explained:
As a component they are more expensive to get at but more importantly it's about space. The nice thing about the MacBook Air's motherboard is how narrow it is. The other MacBooks have small motherboards too but they spread out at the connector end. This still makes them narrow enough to fit under a standard keyboard but that loses favour as it means you can't get the keyboard (a desktop keyboard that is) low enough to be ergonomically comfortable.
The modification comes with its share of issues, though, like the unavoidable interference between the Magic Trackpad antenna and the computer's Bluetooth antenna. But, hey – it boots. If Reardon was able to pull this off, Apple should be able to squeeze a rumored $99 Apple TV with cloud storage inside an AirPort Express-sized enclosure, right?
This makes you wonder if Apple will ever release such a "keyboard computer." If the iMac's components could be squeezed behind its display, fitting a MacMini-like machine with flash storage inside a full-sized Apple Keyboard shouldn't be a problem. Again, this is a fully-featured Mac with a 1.6Ghz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB RAM, and 80GB hard drive – right under your keyboard.

Fake AZ psychiatrist Yvette Araujo has history of outrageous scamsPosted: Updated:
A Valley woman who goes by several names in several states is claiming to be a psychiatrist in Arizona.
CBS 5 Investigates has confirmed she is treating patients and taking their money under the name Dr. Yvette Saint Thomas.
Saint Thomas is also known as author and movie producer Yvette Araujo. Yvette is her middle name. She was formerly married to Dave Thomas and later Jose Araujo. She also frequently uses her maiden name, Eunice Bundrage.
Shortly after moving to Arizona last year, Yvette Saint Thomas appeared on local paid television. With a foreign accent, she promoted her new book and her new psychiatry practices in North Scottsdale and Chandler.
A short time later, Saint Thomas appeared on the cover of Healthy Cells magazine as "The New Face of Psychiatry."
Inside the cover is an advertisement for her Sliding Doors Therapy practice listing Saint Thomas as an M.D.
The problem is, the Arizona Medical Board has no record of Saint Thomas or Araujo or Eunice Bundrage or any of her other aliases.
CBS 5 Investigates contacted the magazine's owner, Monica Tegg, who hung up when we asked about her vetting process.
The feature article states Saint Thomas became a "Doctor of Psychiatry in 1995."
Her IMDb page and book biographies claim she went to Syracuse University and is a graduate of Syracuse Medical School.
But Syracuse University doesn't have a medical school.
CBS 5 Investigates contacted university officials, who have no record of her attendance.
There is a much younger Yvette Araujo who attended Syracuse and graduated in 2001 from the School of Education.
"Without any training or practice, I think the risk of hurting and taking advantage of people is really severe," said Dr. Michael Yasinski, a real psychiatrist who was shocked to learn someone in the Valley was posing as one.
"Someone has something severely wrong with them if they are pretending to be a psychiatrist," said Yasinski.
The investigation turned up a document from the Medical Board of California, stating a license transfer to Arizona was approved last December.
The Medical Board of California confirmed to CBS 5 Investigates that it's a fake document.
They said there is no such form as a Notification of Licensure Transfer, there is no seal on the document, and the executive director who supposedly signed the notification had retired six months before its date.
Also, the license number used on the California Medical Board document belongs to Yvette Thomas, a licensed marriage and family therapist intern. CBS 5 Investigates contacted her in Long Beach, CA, and confirmed she is not the same woman passing herself off as a psychiatrist in Arizona.
CBS 5 Investigates learned of several patients who paid Saint Thomas for medical treatment, and took the findings to Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne.
"If somebody is not trained to be a medical doctor and is practicing medicine, they can do the worst kinds of harm," Horne said.
"It's a class-five felony, so that's serious. You can go to state prison for that," Horne told CBS 5 Investigates.
To learn more about Saint Thomas, CBS 5 Investigates looked deeper into her past.
Her hair stylist in Los Angeles knew her as Yvette Araujo and never heard her former friend was a doctor.
"It's just a shock to me that she would do that. It's a far stretch from being a producer," said Tanya Rivera.
At the same time, Rivera tells CBS 5 Investigates Araujo can be shady. "She has many faces and characters," said Rivera, "someone who's definitely not afraid of being a chameleon."
We also spoke with a movie producer who watched Araujo try to do the same in Texas.
"I didn't think she knew what she was doing," said Joy Poth Aleman.
Both say Arizona's would-be doctor owes them money.
"I put $283,000 into the project," said Poth Aleman.
"She owes me $3,500," said Rivera. "You could never catch her. You couldn't find her."
To try and get out of her debt, they said Araujo claimed she had cervical cancer, but then changed her story.
"She later on told me, 'Oh, I was misdiagnosed,'" Rivera told CBS 5 Investigates.
"She's very, very slippery," said Poth Aleman.
When the pressure to pay up was apparently too much, Araujo played dead.
The news of her demise came in a quick email from Ron Pekkala, the head of Araujo's production company, Trinity Films Productions.
The email was sent right before Araujo moved to Arizona and changed her name and her profession.
CBS 5 Investigates repeatedly asked the woman now known as Saint Thomas over the phone for an explanation. She refused.
So the investigative team set up a consultation.
The undercover cameras were rolling as she gave the producer her pitch, this time without an accent.
"Psychiatry is not an exact science. When you get into the psychiatry of things, it's a little bit more introspective, and it has to be one of objectivity, and you really have to get to know someone," said Saint Thomas.
To verify her credentials, Saint Thomas went to her car to grab the Healthy Cells magazine that showcased her fabricated story.
She also gave our team copies of other issues of the free publication, where her byline tops several monthly health articles.
It was during that meeting, the investigative team asked Saint Thomas to give us the straight story.
The investigative team asked if she was misrepresenting herself as a licensed doctor in Arizona and if she understands why it's against the law to practice psychiatry without a license.
She stood up, grabbed her purse and headed straight to her car, never saying a word.
Many who know her believe this won't be Araujo-Saint Thomas' final act.
"I'm certain in my core that she's on the move again," said Aleman.

The Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT), based in Chicago, has been a leader in promoting more livable and sustainable urban communities since it was founded in 1978. As a creative think-and-do-tank, they research, invent, and test urban strategies that use resources more efficiently and more equitably. CNT works across disciplines and issues, including transportation and community development, energy, natural resources, and climate change. Using energy efficiently has been a critical focus of CNT's efforts to improve urban sustainability. In 2000, CNT Energy (formerly known as the Community Energy Cooperative) was created to explore new ways to measure energy usage and to assist individual consumers and concerned communities in achieving sustainable, affordable energy solutions. In 2008, CNT convened the Illinois Smart Grid Initiative, a voluntary group of state and local government, consumer, business, environmental, and utility stakeholders working together to examine how consumers can benefit from comprehensive grid modernization in Illinois. The Initiative is a project of CNT and is funded by the Galvin Project and assisted by the Galvin Electricity Initiative and US Department of Energy. The Initiative recently issued a report that identifies key steps for improving electricity services throughout the State. This initiative emphasizes the need for making electricity grids smarter, more efficient and better for the environment.

Urgent Action Needed on Housing Crisis in Attawapiskat
Urgent Action Needed on Housing Crisis in Attawapiskat
November 23, 2011
Living conditions in the northern Ontario community of Attawapiskat are so deplorable that community leaders declared a state of emergency on October 28, 2011. Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence urged that her community of more than 2,000 people be evacuated before winter sets in as lives, particularly those of children and elders, are at risk.
According to the Member of Parliament for Timmins-James Bay, Charlie Angus, "presently, there are five families living in tents; 19 families living in sheds without running water; 35 families living in houses needing serious repair; 128 families living in houses condemned from black mold and failing infrastructure; 118 families living with relatives (often 20 people in a small home); there are 90 people living in a construction trailer. There's a need for 268 houses just to deal with the immediate backlog of homelessness." Without indoor plumbing, some have to use buckets as washroom facilities and many sleep in fear due to danger of fire without safe sources of heat. Attawapiskat is the same community where the grade school has been shut down for 12 years as the children were being exposed to dangerous levels of benzene from the badly contaminated ground.
The federal government has agreed to spend $500,000 to renovate housing in Attawapiskat. This amount is only enough to repair three or four houses as one house can cost up to $200,000. The Member of Provincial Parliament for Timmins-James Bay, Gilles Bisson, has said that the provincial government should use its power under the Emergency Measures Act to intervene in this emergency. The provincial government intervened in the nearby community of Kashechewan in November 2005 after its water treatment plant stopped working.
The conditions the people of this community are forced to live in are not good for their health. Lack of proper water and sanitation is an invitation for disease and sickness. Help us help the people of Attawapiskat.
Please act now by letting our federal and provincial leaders know that nurses demand action to protect the lives of people in Attawapiskat.

Turmeric is ingested orally when used as an anti-inflammatory, reports WebMD. The common dosage is 500 milligrams of turmeric several times daily to treat heartburn, stomach ache, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.Continue Reading
Turmeric is the main spice of curry and is commonly used in mustards as well. Turmeric is also commonly used in medicine for its anti-inflammatory properties, reports WebMD. Dosages vary depending on the condition present. To treat heartburn or stomach ache, four doses of 500 milligrams turmeric extract is recommended. Pain from osteoarthritis can be reduced using two doses of 500 milligrams of Indena Meriva turmeric extract. Osteoarthritis can also be treated using four doses of 500 milligrams generic turmeric extract. Rheumatoid arthritis requires two doses of 500 milligrams BCM-95 turmeric extract.
While this spice is usually administered orally, it can be used topically to treat infected wounds, ringworm, leech bites, eye infections and bruising, according to WebMD. Topical application of turmeric can have positive effects on a variety of skin conditions, including eczema, acne and psoriasis, according to Turmeric for Health. To administer turmeric topically, a salve can be created by adding 4 tablespoons turmeric to 1 tablespoon milk and 4 tablespoons honey. Alternatively, an ointment can be made mixing turmeric with sesame or olive oil.Learn more about Vitamins & Supplements

If you're a network administrator, you occasionally find yourself installing new printers and connecting network users to a new shared printer. In "How to Add a Default Printer for All New Users" at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q252/3/88.asp and "Guide To Windows NT 4.0 Profiles and Policies (Part 1 of 6)" at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q161/3/34.asp, Microsoft describes how to create a Default User profile and distribute this profile on a network server. However, this process is only for new users. How do you perform this process for existing users? Annoyingly, NT 4.0 stores network printer definitions in users' profiles.
I accidentally discovered a timesaving workaround to this problem. You must install the printer locally (i.e., on each workstation as a directly attached printer rather than a network-attached printer). After the printer is installed, click Start, Settings, Printers. Right-click the printer in the Printers dialog box, then select Properties, Ports, Add Port. In the resulting dialog box, you can select a new Local Port and use the \\servername\printers\sharename format to enter the port name. You'll probably want to change the name of the printer (i.e., append the server name or location to the printer name), but otherwise the process is finished. Every user, existing or new, now has access to this network printer.

Project: Seven Lakes, stage two
Owner: Emerson Properties
Location: 8008 Ooltewah- Georgetown Road
Contractors: Gary Orr and Surf Russian
Price per home: Starts at $204,000
Scope: Construction workers are adding nine new craftsman-style homes to the Seven Lakes subdivision and have 13 others under contract. The homes will feature hardwood siding, granite counter tops and tile showers and will add to the 150 homes that already make up the gated community in Ooltewah.
Timeline: Some of the new homes are complete, others are just getting framed, and some are ready for Sheetrock. The unfinished homes should be completed within 30 to 60 days.
Future: The new homes are selling well, said Donnette Moore, an agent with Keller Williams Realty. Last year, Keller Williams sold 30 homes in the subdivision. She said the combination of a gated community, clubhouse, pool and a starting point around $200,000 makes the neighborhood appealing to buyers. "We can't keep them," she said. "We're really fortunate out there. Everything sells."

Animators join the Birthday party
The booming interest in animation is paying off for emerging film-makers.
Last week's Academy Award nomination for the Australian animated short Birthday Boy, in the same category won by Harvie Krumpet last year, is only part of the story.
Students are being snapped up as quickly as they graduate for animated features, commercials, video games and visual effects for Hollywood films.
"We pretty much have a 100 per cent employment rate out of our courses," says Peter Giles, the head of digital media at the Australian Film Television and Radio School. "The industry is desperate for people to work in it at the moment."
Creating the demand for skills is the production of director George Miller's animated film Happy Feet in Sydney, the growth of the video games industry and the number of Australian visual effects houses working on Hollywood-backed films including the next Harry Potter.
The enthusiasm has extended to the short film festival Tropfest, which has had twice as many animated entries this year.
With Shrek 2 the highest-grossing film last year, there has never been more interest in telling stories on computer.
Working on her animated graduation film at the school, Siobhan Bowers puts the interest down to accessibility. Just about anyone can make a film with a home computer and basic software.
"It's a great avenue to produce a film that you don't have to pay a hell of a lot of money for," she says. "With 3-D animation, the software has come down a lot in price."
The 28-year-old, who has a background in graphic design, found director Sejong Park's Birthday Boy inspiring when she came to the school. "His project blew me away from the first time I saw it. His level of detail and his imagery and landscapes within the 3-D environment were just astounding."
Unlike Park, Bowers is not immediately planning her own feature when she graduates.
"I love visual effects," she says. "But I also really love title sequence design - the opening titles of a feature film. There's a lot of animation in that these days."
Five years ago, animated entries were comparatively rare in Tropfest. But two films were among the major prizewinners last year and the number entered this year has surprised organisers.
"We could not get over the sheer number of animations coming through," says Tropfest's project director, Serena Paull, who attributes it to entrants finding computers an easy way to make a film.
She admires the storytelling in these animations. "They are working to really tight scripts because they're actually creating each frame that you see. So they tend to be generally very strong films."

Russia holds enough energy-efficiency potential to slash primary energy consumption by 45 per cent. The government has therefore implemented energy-efficiency policies with emphasis on cross-industry and public-private collaboration. Such public-private partnership projects are now seen as a potential driving force behind a new kind of growth in Russia.
According to a 2010 World Bank study, Russia holds enough energy-efficiency potential to slash primary energy consumption by 45 per cent. As Russia is increasing its global competitiveness, the government is also implementing innovative energy-efficiency policies offering opportunities for the private and public sector.
The session focused on the challenges and opportunities for energy-efficiency projects in Russia and explore examples of how public-private partnership projects can drive a new kind of growth in Russia. First, energy-efficiency policies, programmes and initiatives in Russia were discussed. Second, the session took a close look at two examples of energy-efficiency projects: the Russia New Growth Partnership (RNGP) and the new UN Foundation initiative.
RNGP were explored as a model for further modernisation and energy-efficiency opportunities across Russia. Whereas the UN Foundation initiative is seeking to organise energy-efficiency businesses to help UN member countries in setting specific energy-efficiency improvement goals and implementing policies to achieve these goals.

I take a lot of photos of Xavi. A lot. Too many. I thought I'd spend the next eleven days before Xavi turns three sharing my favorite photo for each month of his not-so-terrible Two's.
We were in Los Angeles for the wedding of Cindy's brother, Adrian. Xavi was the ring bearer. We were worried that he might toss the ring or run down the aisle. He was fine but he fell asleep ten minutes after he made it down the aisle and could be heard snoring during the wedding. You win some. You lose some.
On Memorial Day, we thought it would be fun to take the new (to us) Metro train down to the Santa Monica Pier. It sounded like a good idea but because it was Memorial Day, the train was incredibly packed and the pier even more so. Somehow Xavi has never been to the beach while we lived in Los Angeles. It's probably because I'm terrified of him getting sand in his hair.
We didn't bring any water gear for Xavi or ourselves but we just covered him in sunscreen and headed towards the water. Xavi loved the waves coming in and hitting his feet while his grandmother or mother swung his legs. His Aunt Lori took a turn and was a little too slow pulling Xavi away from the wave but while she got ready for the next one, I luckily snapped this picture.

Visitors to Dixons' website were greeted with an error message on Monday after the site went offline due to increased traffic volume during its annual sale.
Or at least that's what the error message said.
However Currys and PC World, which are both owned by Dixons Retail Group, also went offline with a spokesman quoted as saying the outage was caused by fibre damage during roadworks.
We tried to contact DRG about the issue but got no response, so cannot confirm for certain either way.
But whatever the reason for the outage, DRG has hardly been forthcoming with information for its customers.
Its corporate website and social media accounts haven't even mentioned the issue, though it was at least offering visitors to Dixons.co.uk a discount voucher on Monday evening.
Which does raise the question of what DSG aims to achieve with its social media presence.
It currently operates a Twitter account for Dixons, while Currys and PC World share joint accounts on both Twitter and Facebook. All three brand pages are updated on a regular basis but failed to mention the outage on Monday.
Both Twitter feeds only have around 3,000 followers, so it could simply be that DSG feels it isn't an effective way to communicate with customers.
Yet most of the recent updates are retweets of positive feedback and responses to criticism so DRG clearly sees some value in social.
So why no mention of the fact that its websites went down for almost an entire day?
It must have been losing potential sales to competitors during the outage, so an update or holding message to let people know it was fixing the problem may have helped reassure its customers.
In doing that, it would be following AT&T's example from way back in 2009. The phone company used Twitter as a way to keep customers updated after its broadband and phone services went offline.
Thousands of customers in Silicon Valley and San Francisco were left without web access for the best part of a day, which could have been a PR disaster.
But it reacted quickly and tweeted at 7am to let customers know that it was "aware of a cable cut situation impacting service".
It then sent around eight more tweets updating customers with details of when technicians would be able to fix the problem and apologising for the outage.
While cutting off broadband to Silicon Valley is a more serious customer care issue than DRG suffered when its websites fell over on Monday, it would still have impacted Dixons' customers and deserved a response.
DRG posted a loss of £224m in June last year and announced plans to close more than 100 UK stores, so e-commerce will be a key revenue stream for the company in the future,
Therefore it is important that DRG keeps its online customers updated if its stores are offline for a day.
Comments (1)
Great points.
I was waiting to order a replacement washing machine on Monday and tweeted the currys/PC world account in the afternoon to ask what the problem was... they ignored my tweet too
It's just another example of a big brand trying to use social media for the positive credibility but failing to put customers first!
I wish we could unilaterally ban them from claiming any credit for 'doing social media'!

EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. — After being tossed aside like a wad of used tape and labeled the biggest first-round draft flop in Kansas City Chiefs history, Los Angeles Raiders tight end Ethan Horton has made his former team pay for its mistake.
Since his release in 1986, just a year after being a No. 1 pick as a running back out of North Carolina, Horton, 29, has crawled out of the NFL`s discard heap and blossomed into a Pro Bowl player.

Waterless Urinal System
We recently reported on another waterless urinal that uses a recyclable cartridge and doesn't waste precious water. Seems the trend is being flushed out, as we've discovered yet another company with a similar product... Readymade-types will have to replace the title of "Fountain" if they want to turn to the Waterless Urinal System into Dadaist art. Perhaps "In Advance of a Soggier Planet" would do, as this baby doesn't use a single drop of H2O. Made from gel-coated fiberglass (ok—we know fiberglass isn't great, but we've got a point here), this "granite" urinal sends everything down the drain without leaving any residue, and in the meantime saves millions of liters of potable water each and every day. Thanks for the potty tip Richard LaRue. ::Waterless Urinals [by MO]

ALP Connect IOS Review
If you haven't already picked one up, I highly recommend the bluetooth module for your ALP system. I know many of you don't want to have more than one device and are waiting for the Android version which should be released by EOY 2014, but I happen to like having an iPod as my only device running the ALP. I use my Android for running Waze and YaV1 and it is a little cumbersome to run both as I'm constantly switching back and forth between the applications. Before anyone says anything yes I use the pop-up feature in YaV1 too, but many times I want to see more. I'm afraid adding another application to my Android might be too much, but regardless I'll make that determination when the Android version comes out.
The ALP Connect application provides users with complete situational awareness and ease of use. A couple of things I didn't mention in the video. First anytime you receive an alert and want to JTK simply press the screen. This will mute the alert and stop jamming, but it will continue to give you visual alerts. Tapping the screen also mutes radar alerts as stated in the video. Second if you want to disable the system all together simply go to the connect screen and hit the blue power button. This will completely disable the ALP cpu including radar alerts (if you have the radar and GPS module installed). If you do have the Radar and GPS module installed there are some very nice options for configuring your STiR including band segmentation of both Ka and K band. Plus you also have 2 city modes for filtering K band falses. All of these are available at http://www.ALPUpdate.com.
Things I really like about the ALP Connect Application:
- Super clear voice alerts with detailed laser identification.
- Seamless integration with STiR although I'm not a fan of the STiR antenna. I hope the V1 integration comes out soon.
- Speed enabled alerts for parking, radar, and lidar. (*GPS module and antenna required).
- One click ability to export recent alerts. Much easier than the control set in which you have to go through a series of key presses.
Some Items that need some work:
- Minimal settings configuration. All settings must be done via the USB stick and ALPUpdate.com
- Output volume on device is very low. More of an issue with the device but using a Bluetooth speaker resolves the issue.
- No GPS speed when GPS is plugged in for non GPS devices. (iPod vs iPhone)

First pizza, then burgers, now tacos. Chefs Scott McGehee and John Beachboard have a simple and brilliantly effective business plan: Take a popular central Arkansas staple and make the hell out of it. Fresh ingredients, novel twists, careful preparation and presentation. Sprigs of rosemary here and there. Old classics made with gourmet care. Call it fast foodie.
After the wild success of ZaZa's (fancy pizza!) and Big Orange (fancy burgers!), McGehee and Beachboard — along with Big Orange partner Herren Hickingbotham and longtime protege Ben Brainard — opened Local Lime in November, specializing in California-style street tacos, margaritas and other Mexican favorites.
Located in hoity-toity shopping mecca the Promenade at Chenal, Local Lime is deeply committed to treat-yourself indulgence. It doesn't just have aqua fresca, it has an aqua fresca of the day. If you've been craving lobster in your enchiladas or barbecue pork belly in your tacos, it's got you covered. The heavy-duty tres leches cake is so rum-soaked that we wondered if younger diners would get carded. Local Lime has more than a dozen boutique margaritas and cocktails, almost all $10 or more, featuring all manner of apricot liqueur, Peruvian bitters, rosemary-infused honey, etc. The giant, hyper-detailed menu begs you: Eat too much, drink too much, spend too much.
Fitting with this theme, there are six kinds of homemade salsas to choose from with your chips ($2.50, comes with three salsas of your choice). And, of course, they're self-consciously showy (one includes Sultana raisins, in case you were worried they might use an ordinary raisin). Over the course of two visits, we sampled them all. The standouts included a terrific creamy zucchini salsa with green chiles and pumpkin seeds and a well-made verde tomatillo. The problem — and this was a problem with Local Lime in general — is that after all the hype and flair, it was a bit of a letdown to find that most of the salsas were merely fine. Having all these unique options to choose from is undoubtedly loads of fun, but in the end we would have been more impressed with one knockout.
The taco choices are similarly lively, each packed with a medley of ingredients, not to mention loaded with words meant to whistle at foodies (crema, slow-roasted, local, shaved). We tried the beer battered fish ($11.50), carnitas ($10.50), barbecue pork belly ($12) and potato zucchini ($10). Other tacos on offer are grilled chicken ($10.50), grilled skirt steak ($11.50), local chorizo ($10.50) and grilled ancho chili shrimp ($11.50). The prices listed are for three small tacos plus two sides — a choice of cilantro lime rice, black beans, jicama jalapeno slaw, drunken beans with bacon or spicy pickled vegetables — but none of them are anything to write home about (the cilantro lime rice is the best of the bunch). It would have been nice if there was a more affordable option for a la carte individual tacos ($3.85 a piece if you go that route).
We should warn taco fanatics: You probably have a memory stored away of your all-time favorite tacos, and it's hard to avoid thinking of them when you're at Local Lime. Most likely, you got those tacos on the street, or at some dingy window-shop restaurant you were lucky enough to find. Most likely they cost about a dollar. That is not what you will find at Local Lime. For all the fussy preparation and hefty prices, the tacos fell short of the addictive magic of their roadside brethren.
Which is not to say they weren't enjoyable. The tender pork, sharp pickled onions and salty Cotija cheese were a delicious combination in the carnitas tacos; the potato-packed zucchini tacos (our overall favorite) loaded with cheeses, veggies and sauces made for splendid comfort food. The corn and flour tortillas were good, if a bit dry, and less lardy and absorbent of the taco innards than we prefer. Ultimately, there was perhaps an over-business to all of the tacos — one guest suggested that the trouble with taking the McGehee/Beachboard formula to border food was that it's the very simplicity of tacos that makes them special.
In addition to tacos, we also sampled the ceviche ($10.50), refreshing though a bit repetitive if you order the mango papaya salsa, and we thought the oily delicacy of the ahi tuna wasn't the best fit. The chicken mole enchiladas ($12.50), topped with a lovely house-made mole sauce, made us wish for more of that sauce, and in particular that the chicken had been soaking in it rather than tucked away separately. The coastal salad ($7.50) featured healthy portions of avocado and fresh fruit. We'd definitely recommend paying an extra $5 for a large piece of salmon on top, marinated in orange and achiote.
We should note that our verdict — good but not great — is a minority opinion. The place is constantly packed. We once tried to go and gave up when we found out there was a two-hour wait. Surely part of our trouble is overly high expectations, but in fairness, we're also just not the target audience. Local Lime is a long way from the little bakery in the Heights that galvanized the local scene (Boulevard, founded by McGehee a dozen years ago with his ex-wife; he sold his share in the business to her in 2009). The ambience and the food have a palpable high-end chain-restaurant vibe. This is a big restaurant targeted for a big crowd.
What it lacks, for us, is the kind of home run that would justify the inflated prices and the long lines, not to mention the long drive out west to an open-air shopping mall. For all the pizzazz, the tacos were disappointingly safe (we made generous use of the Valentina's on the table to add some kick). It was almost more fun to read the creative and extravagantly particular menu than taste its offerings.
That said, it is entirely possible that several frozen margaritas in, these critiques will seem petty. Even if there are better places to get tacos, part of what Local Lime is offering is a grand old time. So have one delicious cocktail too many, see and be seen, get stuffed on food that is fresh and inventive, if not unforgettable. After all, tacos and tequila are, most of all, about having fun. Treat yourself.

The holiday season is definitely one that most look forward to, especially because of the awesome sales from America's favorite stores. Though this is true, based on past experiences and instances, shopping during the holiday season can get a little crazy. From the crowded stores, overflowing lines, and reckless shoppers, it can be very stressful, and sometimes even alarming, trying to get your shopping done. Here are some holiday shopping tips and strategies for staying safe.
Late Night Shopping
Though there are a lot of stores that open on Thanksgiving day, it's been apparent how empty scores get overnight. Lots of people storm in late Thursday night but leave around 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. This is one of the best times to sneak in! Some stores may be restocking, but there will be more people leaving the mall during this time. It will be less crowded, less overwhelming, and can make for an awesome and unique experience (just make sure to drink lots of coffee!) With this, it is extra important to stay safe, and minimize your risks of becoming a holiday shopping crime target.
That being said, this time of year can bring out a lot of crime. The overwhelming crowds and craziness can lead to attempted shoplifting and attempted crime against distracted people. Here are some basic tips to keep from becoming a holiday crime victim.
- do not shop alone, especially if you are planning on shopping at night.
- dress casually and comfortably.
- try not to bring a big bag, purse, or wallet. Keep things simple and attached to you at all times.
- leave the expensive jewelry at home.
- stay alert on your surroundings and the things that are happening around you, especially when you are feeling rushed, stressed, or overwhelmed.
- avoid carrying large amounts of cash, and pay with credit or debit card when possible.
- stay aware of strangers and how they are approaching you.
Make a List
Making a list before you go shopping can be a great way to keep your priorities straight through the chaos. If you think about all the people you are shopping for, along with a few gift ideas for those specific people, you can go into the shopping extravaganza knowing exactly what you are looking for. This will make shopping a lot easier and keep you from stressing out too much!
Online Shop (Cyber Monday)
There are plenty of ways to get the deals you want without having to leave your family on Thanksgiving, get up at 6:00 am on Friday, or having to deal with the crowds and the lines. Although Monday is dedicated to online deals, many stores are extending their online sales and discounts for the entire weekend. Take a look at the stores you had in mind, and see if they are having online sales. You can avoid the crowds, and still get what you were looking for!
Whether you plan on going out to shop, or staying in and browsing online, stay safe and enjoy the time with your friends and family. Happy holidays, and happy shopping! If you're looking to make a bigger holiday purchase, contact me, and let me help you find the perfect home.

Good evening traders!
NZDJPY is looking interesting if we bring up the fact, that price can be trading at the end of a three-wave decline from January highs. We see a fully unfolded five wave move within wave A), then a nice sharp correcitve rally in wave B), and now a five wave, overlapping decline within wave C), with a possible low at the 77.63 level. A sharp rally that followed from the new low can be the first evidence of a trend reversal in minimum three waves. On that note, the overlapping price movement within wave C) is known as a Elliott wave ending diagonal, that can once fully unfolded push price strongly into the opposite direction, and towards the start of the pattern, in our case this could be to 81.30 level.

An ending diagonal is a special type of pattern that occurs at times when the preceding move has gone too far too fast, as Elliott put it. A very small percentage of ending diagonals appear in the C wave position of A-B- C formations. In double or triple threes, they appear only as the final C wave. In all cases, they are found at the termination points of larger patterns, indicating exhaustion of the larger movement.
- structure is 3-3-3-3-3
- a wedge shape within two converging lines
- wave 4 must trade into a territory of a wave 1
- appears primarily in the fifth wave position, in the C wave position of A-B-C and in double or triple threes as the final C wave

Will Tron: Legacy Be 2010's Most Solemn Blockbuster?
Vulture's take on the twenty minutes of footage that will be screening at 'Tron' Night.
A lot of films would like to be the next Avatar, and though they've got the 3-D part down, they haven't achieved the spectacle. That's the thing that Disney is certain it's nailed with Tron: Legacy — that sense of being transported to a world that could only be glimpsed in a movie theater, and only truly experienced in 3-D — and the studio is so high on the potential franchise starter that it's taken a page from Avatar's prerelease playbook with Tron Night, a get-out-the-hype event where twenty minutes of the film's scenes will screen tonight in IMAX theaters. Vulture just previewed the footage, and the Avatar similarities are uncanny: Like the twenty minutes of clips that Fox screened last year as part of Avatar Day, the selected Tron: Legacy scenes follow a sullen hero thrust into a stunning, wholly computer-generated world, where a beautiful native helps him to get his bearings. The difference was that Avatar's Jake Sully was positively joyful once he made the switch to his Na'vi body and new Pandoran climate — by comparison, Tron: Legacy is as serious as a heart attack.
In fact, the most interesting thing about the footage screened is how quiet it is. The Tron Night scenes begin with a 2-D sequence where twentysomething Sam Flynn (Garret Hedlund, eyebrows permanently locked to "doleful") returns to his bitchin' dockside bachelor pad, a beautiful setting ripped straight from Wallpaper magazine that doesn't seem to lift his mood any. He's confronted by family friend Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner), and the two have a long, strikingly low-key conversation about Sam's missing father, Kevin (Jeff Bridges). It's almost perverse: The audience has been lured in and hyped up to see 3-D light-cycle action, and instead, they're hit immediately with a somnolent exposition dump that makes the special glasses superfluous.
Investigating his father's disappearance, Sam makes his way to Flynn's Arcade, a forgotten, dusty eighties game palace that nevertheless lights up in a blast of neon, eight-bit sound effects, and New Wave synth when Sam flicks the power switch. (Good thing he kept paying those bills over the last two decades.) Disney very cleverly replicated Flynn's Arcade at the last two Comic Cons, and the giddy nostalgia as journalists played Pac-Man and Galaxian — not to mention the thrill of exploring a setting from both Tron movies — was palpable. It's a shame to see the place leeched of that sense of fun in Tron: Legacy, though: Hedlund shuffles through the arcade like a zombie, and even the sweet burst of the Eurythmics on the soundtrack feels muffled.
Finally, Sam is zapped through the looking glass, and it's here that the 3-D kicks in and the alluring dreamscape of Tron: Legacy takes hold (it helps, too, that the Daft Punk soundtrack adds some welcome sonic noise to the equation). Like Avatar's Pandora, this dark blue setting is vast and holds its secrets tantalizingly out of reach, but unlike Cameron's wild world, everything here seems immaculately fussed over and deliberately composed; in action sequences, Tron Legacy resembles the most beautiful luxury-car commercial ever, while in repose, each shot is competing to be your new desktop background. The look may be new-school cool, but the filmmaking is intriguingly muted and exacting, the opposite of frenzied action directing. When four beautiful Grid girls march toward Sam to remove him of his clothes (relax, parents: It's not nearly as sexual as it sounds), they move in perfect lockstep not just with each other, not just within the frame, but with each footfall perfectly syncopated with the soundtrack. It's Tron: Legacy in a nutshell, a beautiful, careful storyboard come to life.
But do the performances have life in them? Hedlund is curiously recessive in most of the footage; when called upon to deliver action hero asides at no one in particular, he looks pained. He's better when his female foil is introduced, but then, so is the movie; as the warrior girl Quorra, Olivia Wilde rocks a black bob (apparently, the bob haircut is the thing for sci-fi heroines these days), a smile, and a charmingly childlike "heh heh heh" in the heat of battle. She's kind of weird and off-kilter, and a movie this carefully plotted out needs weird and off-kilter. (To be fair, though, there's a two-second glimpse of Michael Sheen as a madman straight out of Amadeus that could indicate some more unpredictable zigzagging within Tron: Legacy's glowing, gridded lines.)
The movie is certainly promising, and as eye candy alone, it could make up for every Last Airbender and Clash of the Titans we've had to endure this year. Our hope, however, is that Tron: Legacy will be just a bit more fun. After watching video games steadily eschew the pop and color of Super Mario Bros. for a new world mostly populated by grim, gun-toting space marines, let's hope that the gaming-inspired Tron: Legacy doesn't neglect the fact that a blast from the past really ought to feel like a blast sometimes.

Living in Age-Friendly EdmontonTuesday, August 26th, 2014
The Paranych Luxury team is proud of our city. We think that our city offers people the perfect combination of community, energy, opportunity and compassion.
Our city's ongoing commitment to all people was made clear with the Edmonton Seniors Declaration back in 2010, when the World Health Organization (WHO) officially made Edmonton an Age Friendly City. In our Declaration, it states that:
Individuals are respected regardless of age. All generations have much to teach and learn from each other.
Older people have ready access to programs, employment, activities and services that help them stay engaged, respected and appreciated.
Age is a gift to the city. We will value all the individuals who bring it to us.
Our city has benefitted from the vision of our seniors today and current leaders, volunteers and citizens work to ensure that seniors receive the support they need.
The city recognizes that as more families and newcomers arrive in Edmonton, the senior population grows. In fact, according to this report, Edmonton's senior population is expected to grow from 13% to 20% over the next 10 years.
Our city is responding to this growth by working closely with senior groups and centres around Edmonton to ensure that they have the support they need to thrive.
There are specific cultural and multicultural support groups, lifestyle groups and senior programs available for people who are settling into our great city.
Below is a short list of some of the many support services and groups available to seniors. We've marked the areas of the city these centres are located, as well as the local phone numbers.
Edmonton has taken strides to ensure that our community meets the needs of our senior population, allowing our wisest citizens to be active, supported and welcome in the neighbourhoods they call home. It's a comfort to know that our local leadership, businesses and neighbourhoods recognize the value of our senior population in helping our communities thrive.
If you have any questions about seniors care and lifestyle groups, organizations and centres, you can call 211 for more information or you can visit the City of Edmonton website.
And if you would like to learn more about buying or selling a luxury home in Edmonton, get in touch with us.
