Gidget is always on the go — from nose work classes to posing for budding photographer (and proud pet parent!) Laurie, this dog is happy with her hobbies. But the constant need to go took on a new meaning when Gidget endured several urinary tract infections (UTIs). "She was drinking so much water," recalls Laurie, "she would not come up for air!"
Laurie soon noticed Gidget's mood swings were just as odd as the recurring UTIs. A holistic veterinarian diagnosed a hormonal disorder, so Gidget took to acupuncture and Chinese supplements to get back in balance. Thankfully, Laurie's budget stayed steady with help from Petplan. "I'm so happy to have pet insurance, even when we don't have to use it for a while."

Texas Governor Rick Perry has brought to the race for the Republican presidential nomination a radical antidemocracy stance borrowed from the far-right fringe that once expressed itself at John Birch Society meetings but has now entered the mainstream of the Grand Old Party.
Perry's particular extremism seeks to limit the role of voters at the national level of American politics: he would end the direct election of senators. But his candidacy highlights a broader agenda of Republican governors, who have been moving in recent months to diminish state and local democracy by undermining the authority of local elected officials, who tend to be the ones most accountable to the people. Those governors are instead shifting power to statewide executives, who are more accountable to the billionaire campaign donors and business interests that were freed by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision to buy the election results that most favor their interests.
Perry is not the first antidemocracy extremist to make a presidential bid. But he is the first in recent decades to achieve front-runner status in the race for a major party's nomination. And Perry's fringe views are not the "youthful indiscretions" of a former right-wing radical. In a book published last year, he wrote, "The American people mistakenly empowered the federal government during a fit of populist rage in the early twentieth century by giving it an unlimited source of income (the Sixteenth Amendment) and by changing the way senators are elected (the Seventeenth Amendment)."
Perry's book, Fed Up!, recalls Glenn Beck's restatements of old-right complaints about the evils of Progressive Era reforms that extended the franchise, regulated corporations and laid the foundations for the bigger and bolder government that was constructed by Franklin Roosevelt and the New Dealers. Robert Welch, who founded the John Birch Society to exploit cold war fears on behalf of a radical right-wing program, wrote in his 1966 condemnation of political leaders who, he claimed, were engaged in a "Master Conspiracy" to consolidate their power that "the direct election of senators was actually their first huge legalistic step in that direction." But Perry was not just cribbing notes from conspiracy theorists to add some pages to a campaign manifesto. He has defended and expanded the argument that voters should not be electing senators. In an interview with the Daily Beast last year, the governor was asked about his support for a move that would make Americans "less free, and the country less democratic." Perry responded with a convoluted but unequivocal states' rights line: "The 17th Amendment is one of those where they were making… the states were historically more in control when they decided who those senators were going to be. They took the states out of the process at that particular point in time. So that's the… uh… the historic concept of checks and balances, when you had the concept of the federal government and the states. The 17th Amendment is when the states started getting out of balance with the federal government, is my belief."

It's been five months since actor Michael Weatherly first announced that he would be leaving his longtime gig as Special Agent Tony DiNozzo on the hit CBS drama NCIS, and so nearly everything that has happened on the show since then has been thought of in the context of it possibly being the last time we'd see DiNozzo doing it. (Except for the head slaps. We knew more of those were coming, no matter what.)
While we're hoping Weatherly will show up again in some capacity in future seasons to offer up more inspiration and doofy memories, DiNozzo definitely gave us our fair share since first appearing on Jag in 2003. So to honor the occasionally pervy goofball for his years of service, here are Tony DiNozzo's six most unforgettable moments.
When DiNozzo Met GibbsUnlike When Harry Met Sally, no one would ask to have what Gibbs was having, since what he got was winded before getting thrown to the ground and held at gunpoint. Some Super Bowls don't even have tackles that are this important. Had this been the first time audiences had seen these two characters on screen, rather than as the Season 1 flashback seen in the video above, then the undercover Gibbs' smile might have been a cause for curiosity. But we all knew that coy look was just Gibbs thinking about how big of a future he and DiNozzo would have together, and how much he would often wish he could deck him across the face again.

"Memo to San Francisco"
By Rabbi Abraham Cooper
June 17, 2011
From Emporer Hadrian to Joseph Stalin, Jewish history is tragically littered with moves to ban circumcision - often part of attempts to crush the Jewish people.
And now in San Francisco, 12,000 people have signed a petition which puts the ban to a public vote in November. If passed, it would criminalise brit milah and could jail and fine Jewish parents who have the audacity to practise their faith.
Who is behind it and why? Some of its backers are just antisemites who have published, in the Nazi tradition, caricatures of "monster mohels" in order to make their point.
Others just don't like the idea of making any changes to the human body. They sweep aside the medical evidence that circumcision also reduces the incidence of penile cancer, offers some resistance to STDs and helps protect against Aids.
My colleague, Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein, says that what some campaigners really detest is the central message of Jewish circumcision: not everything that is "natural" is perfect. We say: humans are supposed to perfect this world, improving upon what God created.
Some activists cannot tolerate such talk. For them, religion is fine if it doesn't bother anyone, but people shouldn't be so stupid as to think that it could be a guide for living. I am not sure what faith, if any, the main sponsors of this initiative follow, or if they even have children. No matter. What needs to be curtailed in San Francisco is not circumcision, but arrogance.
Before you conclude: "Oh well, what do you expect from a place like ultra-liberal San Francisco?", understand that this anti-circumcision drive is not unique. Last year, there was an attempt to ban circumcision in Massachusetts. Earlier this year, a member of the Norwegian parliament was reported saying that male circumcision is a violation of the child.
What's at stake, for Jews, and by the way, for Muslims, is outlined on the MGM (Male Genitalia Mutilation) website. It says it and its allies are pushing for US Congress and the UN to put an end to this 5,000-year-old barbarity.
Memo to San Francisco voters: The world's oldest hatred will only be dead and buried when you stop tolerating it and exact a price for bigotry.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper is associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre

Norwood-Fontbonne Academy has announced the creation of an optional afternoon preschool program for children ages three and four.
Students enrolled in the school's five-morning-a-week Montessori preschool or Pre-primary program (from 8 a.m. to noon) now have the option of extending their day until 3 p.m. with a program that enhances the creative interactive experiences of the morning. Families may select two, three, or five afternoons a week.
NFA is one of the only schools in the area to offer a unique dual-path program in early education. This dual path offers families with young children the choice between the Montessori preschool (for students 3, 4, and 5 years old) and the Pre-primary/Kindergarten path (for students 3, 4, and 5 years old).
NFA's new afternoon offering will be a blended program that draws from the strengths of the school's two curricular paths. Taught by staff with backgrounds in the Pre-primary and Montessori programs, the afternoon will include a personalized approach to themed learning, independent and group work, outdoor play, science, art, and imaginary play and activities.
Throughout the afternoon program, the universal values of respect for oneself, others and the Earth will be emphasized. Families can expect the same excellence for their children that they receive in NFA's morning programs. Students who stay for the afternoon will enjoy an expanded peer group as well as an extension of their daily learning. The Loft after-care program continues to be available from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.
NFA's addition of an optional afternoon program was the result of a careful study of the changing needs and desires of today's local families.
"Many parents of young children are looking for high-quality early educational experiences until 3 p.m. and often until 6 p.m.," said Kim Cwietniewicz, NFA director of admissions.
As a local leader in early childhood education, NFA's new program furthers the school's commitment to excellence.
"When I looked up the definition of 'excellence,' it does not mean 'perfect,' but rather 'always striving for more,'" said Sister Mary Helen Beirne, NFA's head of school. "Our new afternoon program for 3 and 4 year olds is NFA's latest evidence of daily excellence."
For more information on NFA's early educational offerings and the new afternoon program, contact Kim Cwietniewicz, director of admissions, at 215-247-3811, x 204, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

My special day started on 1/11/07 at 4:30 a.m. I went to sleep the previous night for maybe 3 hours. I was so nervous about the next day. My husband was up all night and was really scared of being a dad. We then got ready and he drove me to UMC. I walked to the Labor and delivery unit where they were expecting me.
I was told that we were going to have a scheduled Cesarean section due to the fact that I was seven days overdue and had gestational diabetes. I had only dilated to 2 centimeters and was 100 percent effaced. They told me to show up at the hospital two hours prior to the surgery, which was scheduled to be done at 7:30 a.m.
I showed up and they allowed me to change and inserted the IV. They then came in and advised me how things were going to proceed.
The attending nurse then came in and made me drink the most awful salty stuff that was to prevent me from getting nauseated during the procedure.
They shaved me, inserted the catheter and went over some of the events that were to follow. The anesthesiologist came in and introduced herself and went over with me how the spinal was going to go. She was awesome. 7:30 rolled around and still no doctor was there. I started getting butterflies in my tummy and wanted to see my daughter. 8 a.m. rolled by, 8:30 rolled by and the doctor finally showed up. I was told he had another emergency C-section to do at another local hospital.
Now that everyone was there and I was prepped, the day started.
I was allowed to walk to the operating room. I then sat on the operating table as the anesthesiologist prepped me for the spinal block. I was at this point sitting half naked in a room full of strangers. It was an embarrassing moment for me. A nurse came to my front side and had me hunch my back so they could do it right. It didn't hurt and I handled it better than I thought I would. The feeling of it was just a little pinch; and I feel that I was one of the more lucky ones. I have heard horror stories of the spinal going completely wrong.
I then felt my legs become very heavy and I couldn't move. That's when a nurse came around and helped me get my legs up before I lost all control of them. The nurse then draped the curtain over me and I was smiling and chatting up a storm with the anesthesiologist while she monitored my vitals. Once I was all on board they then tied my arms down which was not very comfortable. I felt very nauseated all of a sudden and I told them that. They put oxygen on me and that helped until I felt the sudden urge to throw up. That is one of the hardest things to do, throwing up while lying down.
The doctors were doing their thing and things were going very smoothly.
I felt a bunch of tugging and pulling. The doctor then told me that there was going to be a lot of pressure and all of sudden someone was pushing really hard on my tummy. All I heard was, "Here she comes. Here she comes." Then, dead silence. That's when things got a little nervous for me. Finally I heard Katrina May cry her head off.
Everyone in the room was laughing and happy. I was so happy. There are no words to describe the feeling of hearing your baby for the first time.
The doctor then brought her around after being cleaned and weighed. She was so beautiful. She opened her little eyes and looked so tired after a tough journey. The doctor yelled that she was 9 pounds, 10 ounces and was 21 ½ inches long. She had a full head of black hair and beautiful blue eyes.
The doctors took her to the nursery and wheeled me to the recovery room. I was there for two very long hours. I wanted to see my daughter. After about 30 mins they brought her to me. I was so drugged though that I was having a tough time trying to breastfeed her. They then took her away and I went to my own private room. They brought her back in periodically throughout the day. That night I was able to feed her and change her diaper.
The next day at 9 in the morning I was told that she was taken to the NICU overnight because she was literally turning blue when she cried really hard. I then started crying. I was asking myself if it was something that I had done. Was it something that could have been prevented? The next four days went by so slowly. They proceeded to do countless procedures. They stuck a tube down her nose to make sure that her esophagus was straight and that there was nothing blocking it. Apparently she had what they call a stryker, where the tube collapsed whenever she tried to take a deep breath.
She was in NICU for the next 4 days. I, however, was recovering very fast for my daughters sake. In order to go and see her, I had to walk from my room on the 7th floor to the NICU which was on the 8th floor. So all the walking that the nurses suggested was definitely done. I had a really bad burning sensation on my skin and felt like my insides were going to fall out.
Whenever I went to the NICU I wanted to cry, my daughter was hooked up to all these tubes and monitors. I know that they were for her own good, but I wanted to take her away from there and run away.
But other than that the people at UMC in Tucson, AZ, were awesome.
I was able to go home with my daughter on the 15th of January. I will never forget that day. It was the best day of my life. Now my husband and I are expecting our son in late April of 2008 and Katrina is healthy and a month away from being one year old.

PARIS — Hermès International said its Japanese president, Mineaki Saito, would become its new Paris-based executive vice president in charge of marketing, effective Aug. 1.
Saito's post is a new one in charge of "value creation," customer relations and "any new activities in the future in the area of service," said Patrick Thomas, chief executive officer. "We have a value strategy instead of a volume strategy ….[Saito] is a man of vision and a strategic thinker."
Saito, who had headed Hermès' Japanese business since 1998, will also become a non-executive chairman of Hermès Japan.
Masao Ariga will succeed Saito as president of Hermès Japan effective Tuesday. Ariga joins Hermès from LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, where he was president of Loewe Japan Co. and a director of Louis Vuitton Japan. Before that, Ariga had more than two decades of experience in the retail business at Isetan Co. and Barneys New York.
Japan is Hermès' largest market, accounting for 24 percent of sales last year, but also its slowest growing, with 2007 sales rising 2.8 percent at constant exchange.
Thomas voiced confidence the company's fortunes would improve there once economic and currency woes ease. "Very quickly we should come back to a reasonable growth rate in Japan," he said.

Gurgaon: Overwhelmed by emotions after returning to India after a gap of 38 years, football legend Pele on Thursday tipped fellow Brazilian Zico as the next president of the game's world governing body FIFA.
The FIFA was plunged into a crisis earlier this year due to allegations of widespread corruption, when the US Department of Justice indicted several top executives of the world football governing body. As a result, FIFA president Sepp Blatter and UEFA chief Michel Platini were suspended by the FIFA's ethics committee.
Pele, who was visiting the capital for the first time, is saddened by the corruption scandals which have hit the game in recent times and feels that Zico being a former player who loves and understands the game is the best candidate to clean up the current mess.
"I want someone honest, who respects the game to be the FIFA president. I know of Zico's wish to run for president. He has the courage, I think he is one of the best candidates to be the president of FIFA," the 74-year-old told the media here.
"I told him 'you are strong, you have the courage. You will be a good president.' I think he will be a wonderful president because he has strived to develop football in several countries. He has worked for a long time in Japan and helped transform it to one of the strongest countries in Asia," Pele added. "Zico is one of the best candidates, no doubt."
The three-time World Cup winner admitted that the top echelons of FIFA have lost much of their credibility following the corruption scandal, but he was quick to point out that they have done a lot to spread the game around the world. The 'King of Football' also asserted that the controversy has not tarnished the image of the game.
"It is easy to criticise. FIFA may be corrupt, but they did a lot to develop football around the world. Unfortunately, the FIFA officials are human and they made a mistake," Pele said.
"You should not forget that because of the FIFA, if you see football today, it is the most popular sport in the world. More and more people are playing football and the game is developing worldwide, be it in Asia, Africa, South America or anywhere. If you see in history, football has united people," he added. "Corruption is a worldwide problem. You see corruption in football in Brazil, US, Africa, here. FIFA is not an exception."
"We have to make a difference between the FIFA officials and football. This (corruption) is not football. It is being done by people who are running the game. Football belongs to the people. This (corruption scandal) has not affected football in any way."
Talking about Indian football, the former Santos star felt that the country needs to go the Brazilian way in order to improve the standard of the domestic leagues. He held out the example of the Major League Soccer (MLS) of the US, who imported a host of World Cup stars in the 1970s in order to boost the standard of their domestic football.
"India should have more Brazilian footballers. Not only players who are at the end of their careers, but players who can perform at a high level and make a difference for their teams in the long term," Pele said.
"Same happened when we started to promote football in the US. The US federation brought over great players like myself, Beckenbaur and others, and gradually the league became strong," he added.
"The first year when we started to play for Cosmos, we started to lose because a lot of the footballers were college players. The first year was difficult. But in the second year, big players like Beckenbaur came over and the league started to improve."
Pele, who witnessed the Indian Super League (ISL) match between defending champions Atletico de Kolkata and Kerala Blasters during his visit to Kolkata, insisted that the ISL should be held over a longer duration in order to make a meaningful contribution towards the betterment of the game in the country.
"Two months are not enough. You need to have a longer tournament if the ISL is to have a substantial effect. But it is important to begin. The beginning has been very nice," Pele stated.
"I think you need to give more time to the players to gel with and learn from their foreign counterparts."
The legend also pointed out that Indians should draw lessons form small nations around the world who have made big strides in the game.
"You look at football in Japan, at Costa Rica, Venezuela or Ecuador," he said. "Ecuador beat Argentina in their last match."
"Of course, in this context, it is important to mention that I do not see too many Indian players in the European leagues or in South America. I think this is important. It is important to go outside your borders, to gain experience. The young Indian players need to be exposed to a higher quality of football."
"Not only is football in India in a bad shape. The game is facing problems in Brazil and Argentina as well. This is normal. It is important ot be aware of the problems and try to improve."

Intro to Mobile Commerce
November 1, 2013 | Posted in Mobile Commerce | By Joe Rozsa
Comments Off on Intro to Mobile Commerce
What is mCommerce?
Before we dig into what exactly Mobile Commerce truly means, did you know that more tablets sell today than either desktop or laptop computers? And between Android or iOS smartphones, it is hard to find someone that does not have one of these devices nowadays. These mobile devices provide the ultimate freedom for consumers who can now be connected virtually anywhere via cell phone service or widely available Wi-Fi. It is even more common than not for airplanes to provide internet service so that people can stay connected even when cruising around the world at 35,000 feet in the air. The convenience of having a small, light device capable of doing what many people normally used to do on a day-to-day basis, using their laptop or desktop computer, means that more and more people are deciding that they really don't need those machines anymore.
I admit that I still use all of the above. I am typing this article on my desktop PC that I use for the serious computing that I sometimes need, while my personal laptop is on my desk to the left of me and a "work" laptop is on my desk to the right of me. My Galaxy S4 phone is charging on my desk within arms reach right now, sitting on top of my Nexus 10 tablet that is charging as well. My iPod Touch is plugged into my desktop PC, charging and syncing any podcasts that I subscribe to as they come online. Yes, that is six different devices, all within three feet of me, all of which can do the exact same things (for the most part) but with different features and benefits.
But when I leave my desk for the day, to go grab dinner or help the kids with their homework, or to go mow the lawn, or to sit on the couch and watch an episode of Breaking Bad on Netflix, I always grab at least one of those devices to take with me, and sometimes more than one. The ones that I never grab, obviously, are the desktop or laptop computers. It is usually my cell phone or my tablet, but I have them with me in case I have the urge to look something up, or send someone a text or an email (notice I didn't say call), or if a thought occurs to me, to purchase something.
So many times I will remember that I need to buy something at a time other than while I am sitting at my desk computer. Many of those times, I will go to Amazon or another appropriate ecommerce site and simply place the order right then when I am thinking of it. Then, it arrives a couple of days later and I remember that I needed that items for whatever reason and take care of the task that I was thinking about when I placed the order.
If I don't place the order at that very moment, or at least
write it down drop it into Evernote ("write"… who does that anymore?), then inevitably a week or two later I will come across the same task and remember that I still need to get that one thing to help complete whatever it was I was trying to do. But if I order it right then, it has a much better chance of actually getting done.
This could also be if I see something on a TV commercial that I want, and do a quick price check on my tablet to find the best deal on the item, browse for comparable items, and maybe purchase that item right then while it is fresh in my head. Or if we're in the car and my wife is driving (Ed note: NEVER drive and shop, that's sadly a danger indicative of the times we live in) and we drive by a place that triggers a memory of something I've been meaning to look up and order, I do it right there from the car.
I have seen reports that over $25 BILLION of sales will be made in 2013 alone, all online, all by using a device other than a desktop or laptop computer. TWENTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS in mobile revenue – and growing.
One in four ecommerce transactions are currently being made using a device such as a tablet or cell phone. And this number also will continue to grow.
Think it is important to get a piece of that action? If you have a great revenue generating ecommerce site, but the mobile version of the site is a bad user experience, you are likely losing AT LEAST 25% of your possible revenue just because you are neglecting your fastest growing customer segment. That is a lot to throw away. Of course, if you're general ecommerce site provides a bad user experience, then you should not even think about mobile until you fix your ecommerce site! That is one thing I hear from so many businesses today that want to jump on the hot mobile trend while their ecommerce site is a complete mess. Don't chase that 25% when your 75% is a mess. Get your 75% in order first, then worry about the mobile stuff.
If you have a great revenue generating ecommerce site, but the mobile version of the site provides a bad user experience, you are likely losing AT LEAST 25% of your possible revenue just because you are neglecting your fastest growing customer segment.
So how do you get the mCommerce aspect of your business in order? Do you need an app? Redesigned website? Responsive design? Google Glass? (no, not that one… nobody needs Google Glass). The answer is: whatever you can do to provide customers with a quality user experience that does not impede their ability to purchase from you.
My one simple rule of thumb is: Don't make it difficult for people to give you their money.
That is the first and single most important rule in eCommerce. And it goes for mobile commerce as well. At a minimum, a responsive redesign of your current ecommerce site is often the most simple and efficient / inexpensive way to allow customers to find what they want on your site, and transact with you. Many people, however, believe that apps are the future and will be the death of the internet. That is most certainly not the case, but there is indeed a huge market for those that can create a shopping app that meets consumers' needs while giving them a quality user experience and the ability to easily transact with you. Building a native app is a bit more challenging and time/cost intensive. But it can also be well worth it to do so.
For example, when I am sitting on my couch, I know that the Amazon app is only one touch away and lives right on my home screen. No browser needed, no typing a URL on a small screen keypad… just touch the icon and shop away. There is something to be said for that. But if the item I want is a bit unique, or I find that a big box store is not necessarily the best option in that case, then I will find a site with a nice easy to read, responsive design that allows me to browse their site and shop without a dozen errors and layout troubles. And if I have those troubles on the site, and you are making it difficult for me to give you my money, I can pretty much promise that I won't. But someone else who makes it easy for me to give them my money will most likely get it instead.
So there is an opportunity in mCommerce, and it is not too late to get into the game, nor for being an innovator and leader in the space. But you have to have a plan to do it right and follow your plan to implement it that way. Because after all, if you aren't going to do it right, don't bother doing it at all. Don't make it difficult for me to give you my money.
Thanks for reading…

SummaryThe best RPG I have ever played.
The GoodFirst off, one of the main appeals of this game is that its an RPG that isn't some sort of D&D ripoff. I didn't play this game until about 1997 when I got a copy off of a Computer Gaming World demo cd-rom. I had heard a lot about this game but expected it to be dated when I loaded it. I was wrong. Everyone can tell you about how great the plot is or the superb skill based system (which is better than Fallout's). What was important to me was that the interface was still good. A lot of these old games suffer from not just dated graphics and sound but a clunky interface. This game's interface is still amazingly functional next to modern games. You use your keyboard to move around the map but the best part is that the IBM version lets you program macros that can store your most used functions. Instead of plowing through a tedious menu system to pick a lock all you do is tap a key and you character goes to work. You can program any key sequence you need so you can concentrate on solving the game rather than stumbling through 15 year old menus. This saves considerable time and makes the game much more playable to a modern gamer used to ease mouse menus.
The BadThe sound is almost non-existant. The map graphics while funtional are spartan. Also in some areas, especially the final base at the end, there are just too many random encounters. EA hasn't come out with a Wasteland Gold edition with VGA grahpics and Soundblaster music... yet.
The Bottom LineObviously this games compares as an 80s version of Fallout. If you liked Fallout then you have to play this game! The plot is more interesting and the game is more challenging and longer than Fallout.

Two Texas players charged with sexual assaultPosted: July 24, 2014 Filed under: Texas Football Players arrested, Texas Longhorns | Tags: Texas Longhorns arrested Comments Off on Two Texas players charged with sexual assault
Two Texas football players have been charged with sexual assault in a case in which the facts are "confusing", the Austin American-Statesman reported Thursday.
Junior receiver Kendall Sanders and redshirt freshman receiver Montrel Meander have not been arrested for the incident that occurred June 21. Sanders also is charged with improper photography. The sexual assault is a second degree felony.
Sources told the American-Statesman that the two players met the alleged victim and went to Meander's San Jacinto dorm room on campus and the three had consensual sex.

The improper photography charge comes from Sanders attempting to record what was happening on his cellphone.
After the three had sex, according to the American-Statesman, the players thought everything was OK and when a female knocked on the door to question if everything was OK, the alleged victim acknowledged.
But a sexual assault was reported at 3:43 a.m., according to University of Texas Police.
Texas officials have been aware of the incident since it was reported June 22.

Critic Reviews for Heights
All Critics (103) | Top Critics (32) | Fresh (66) | Rotten (37) | DVD (8)
If the plot is thin, at least the characters are interesting, and the performances are consistently strong.
Amy Fox's play, with New York clichés for characters, was never going to hit, ahem, the movie heights. But cut loose in the middle of a comic-book summer, Heights is just different enough, just adult enough, to warrant a climb and a look.
None of it rings true, nor do precious affectations such as having one couple communicate with each other via walkie-talkies.
Terrio may use such accelerating devices as a handheld camera and split-screen editing, but his movie still feels as inert as the piano chords in Martin Erskine and Ben Butler's score.
Sufficiently enjoyable and intelligent to erase unpleasant memories of Merchant-Ivory's last foray into Manhattan ... it lacks the energy and vibrancy of the best films to come out of the city in the past few years.
It's duly considered, absolutely serious, self-consciously modern and, unfortunately, fairly dull.
Audience Reviews for Heights
Heights is an urban drama with intersecting lives and stories. It is a relatively light film where one observes the interactions between the characters, has insights, and is not so much engaged with them; it is more pensive than emotional. The acting and filmmaking are good and I recommend it for those who are in the mood for this kind of film.
Super Reviewer
Yet another pastiche of mostly unhappy and boring New Yorkers and how their lives change over the course of a day. Amy Fox could use a spark of creativity in her screenplay to distinguish hers from the glut of similar films. (I knew an Amy Fox in college, could she be the same? I hope not ) Some good performances from Glenn Close and something of a revelation from Elizabeth Banks, but for what?
Super Reviewer
Quite fine drama tale of five smart, touchy New Yorkers try to figure out the meaning of love.

Microsoft announced in the middle of last week that they would have a big announcement on Monday in Los Angeles at 3:30pm Pacific Time. Immediately rumors began to swirl about tablets although, at the beginning of last week they updated their Xbox Live applications for existing Android and iOS tablets. There had been some talk about a partnership with struggling retailer Barnes and Noble but that was quickly refuted in a report by BuisnessInsider.com earlier today.
Microsoft head Steve Ballmer finally made his way on to the stage around 4:15 p.m. and started off with explaining why Windows is so important to the company, followed by a fairly detailed history of Microsoft. Laying out how integral interaction has been, led up to Steve Ballmer saying, "We wanted to give Windows 8 its own companion hardware innovation."
With that, Windows 8 head Steven Sinofsky came out to show off the new line of tablets, named "Surface." The new piece of hardware has a 10.6 inch 9.3mm thick tablet. Uniquely, it will feature a full USB 2.0 port in addition to HDMI, the front and rear cameras housed in a "vapor magnesium" case. It will weigh 1.5 lbs and feature full Windows 8 and Xbox integration. Steven Sinofsky also promised full compatibility with the Windows store. A magnetic case will feature a built in keyboard and the device will have an ultra-thin, full-length built in stand and a HD screen with Gorilla Glass 2.
The following is from Microsoft's press release:
"Advances in Industrial Design
Conceived, designed and engineered entirely by Microsoft employees, and building on the company's 30-year history manufacturing hardware, Surface represents a unique vision for the seamless expression of entertainment and creativity. Extensive investment in industrial design and real user experience includes the following highlights:
Software takes center stage: Surface sports a full-sized USB port and a 16:9 aspect ratio – the industry standard for HD. It has edges angled at 22 degrees, a natural position for the PC at rest or in active use, letting the hardware fade into the background and the software stand out.
VaporMg: The casing of Surface is created using a unique approach called VaporMg (pronounced Vapor-Mag), a combination of material selection and process to mold metal and deposit particles that creates a finish akin to a luxury watch. Starting with magnesium, parts can be molded as thin as .65 mm, thinner than the typical credit card, to create a product that is thin, light and rigid/strong.
Integrated Kickstand: The unique VaporMg approach also enables a built-in kickstand that lets you transition Surface from active use to passive consumption – watching a movie or even using the HD front- or rear-facing video cameras. The kickstand is there when needed, and disappears when not in use, with no extra weight or thickness.
Touch Cover: The 3 mm Touch Cover represents a step forward in human-computer interface. Using a unique pressure-sensitive technology, Touch Cover senses keystrokes as gestures, enabling you to touch type significantly faster than with an on-screen keyboard. It will be available in a selection of vibrant colors. Touch Cover clicks into Surface via a built-in magnetic connector, forming a natural spine like you find on a book, and works as a protective cover. You can also click in a 5 mm-thin Type Cover that adds moving keys for a more traditional typing feel.
An Amazing Windows Experience
Two models of Surface will be available: one running an ARM processor featuring Windows RT, and one with a third-generation Intel Core processor featuring Windows 8 Pro. From the fast and fluid interface, to the ease of connecting you to the people, information and apps that users care about most, Surface will be a premium way to experience all that Windows has to offer. Surface for Windows RT will release with the general availability of Windows 8, and the Windows 8 Pro model will be available about 90 days later. Both will be sold in the Microsoft Store locations in the U.S. and available through select online Microsoft Stores.
Contributing to an Expanded Ecosystem
One of the strengths of Windows is its extensive ecosystem of software and hardware partners, delivering selection and choice that makes a customer's Windows experience uniquely their own. This continues with Surface. Microsoft is delivering a unique contribution to an already strong and growing ecosystem of functional and stylish devices delivered by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to bring the experience of Windows to consumers and businesses around the globe.

(1), (2). Actual size and weight of the device may vary due to configuration and manufacturing process.
Suggested retail pricing will be announced closer to availability and is expected to be competitive with a comparable ARM tablet or Intel Ultrabook-class PC. OEMs will have cost and feature parity on Windows 8 and Windows RT.
For more information about Surface, visit http://www.surface.com."
All of the tablet talk was of course due mostly to Microsoft's E3 keynote presentation where they revealed the "Smart Glass" which will come soon to their top selling console and allow multi-surface interaction in games, movies and television. In what appears to be an attempt to undercut, Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console, the "Smart Glass" application on the Xbox 360 will utilize tablets and smart phones to provide additional in-game content or as alternate input devices. In conjunction with all of the content deals they've made, an Xbox tablet is not that far of a reach. Think Kindle Fire.

Kampfar Releases Music Video
Kampfar today releases a new music video, although curiously this one isn't taken from latest album "Profan," but instead is culled from 2014 full-length release "Djevelmakt." Check out the clip for "Mylder" below.
If you missed either of them, both the "Profan" and "Djevelmakt" albums from this Norwegian black metal group can be heard or bought digitally over at Bandcamp here.
Kampfar Reviews A Momentous Year
Kampfar just checked in with the following "year in review" message to fans about what went down in 2016:
"2016 has been a roller coaster with ups and downs for Us. But what we did together and what we achieved in 2016 have still reached the highest peak in our 22 years of existence. Starting the year with winning a Spellemann (Norwegian Grammy) in metal. Who could have thought that 22 years ago.
"In a year when we as a band has been put on the toughest tests personally we still managed to do 4 tours in one year together+ festivals. There is still some fire left burning inside of us. And we can tell you for sure that without all of you. This band would have most likely faded away this year. Cause the personal life and emotions behind the scene this year has been tough!
"This can be said without being too dramatic. It has been a battle. A battle we won because of the amazing support from all of you and because of the strong bloodline in our band itself. The brotherhood Dolk, Ask, Ole and Jon its just to strong to go to pieces. Its the 4 of us or no band. End of story!
"Going though the year with short words like this can not be done actually. But to think about one special moment this year it can not go without mention our late night show at Wacken. The band has never been this destroyed ever on the personal level. It was a band on the edge of the cliff. More...

A 100% Norwegian lineup, which includes the likes of Abbath, Arcturus, Taake, 1349, Gorgoroth and even some rare appearances from the likes of Green Carnation. Blastfest 2016 will be a truly memorable occasion, with chief and owner Yngve Christiansen comments:
"2016 will be a very special festival edition with a lineup consisting solely of Norwegian bands. The bands represented at Blastfest are the legends, those from the beginning, the ones who made it evolve... the ones who disappeared... the ones who never stopped... the ones whom you should have heard more about... and the ones you will hear about.

Kampfar Streaming New Song
Norwegian black metal band Kampfar has released the track "En Hymne Til Urd" ("A Hymn for Earth"), which can be heard below.
"En Hymne Til Urd" is the band's contribution to the forthcoming "One And All, Together, For Home," set to be released via Season Of Mist on May 23rd (5/27 in North America).
Regarding the new track, Kampfar commented: "Former guitarist Thomas Andreassen shaped Kampfar's sound by taking his piano roots and translating them to the guitar. The song 'Hymne,' which appeared on the only demo the band recorded, is perhaps the clearest example of his connection between classical music, old Norwegian folk music and black metal. The lyrics on the song were lifted from the Norse poem 'Voluspå.' In this reinterpretation of the song the band revisits several of the melodies from the original song while also bringing back pieces of the 'Voluspå' poem. Vocals by Ask Ty."

Hate Announces Tour Dates With Kampfar
Polish extreme metal leviathans Hate will be taking part in the Spreading the Plague MMXIV Tour that will hit Europe in March/April 2014.
The band will team up with Norway's pagan black metal horde Kampfar to bring supreme blasphemy to 16 cites. On the tour that will start on the 28th of March in Munich/Germany, you will also see U.S. avant-garde black metallers Velnias and Norwegian melodic black metal act Iskald.
Hate's front man Atf Sinner comments: "We are very much looking forward to touring Europe again and I think the combined line-up for these shows is simply killer! As we are working on new tracks right now, you may expect some brand-nu-blaspehemy played on the upcoming shows for the first time! We've been waiting for a regular tour since the tragedy happened and I believe the time has come to hit the road again at full force. We will come back rejuvenated and hungrier than ever before, so be prepared for truly riotous shows!" More...

MILAN - Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman reassured fans his latest injury is nothing serious after it was revealed he will undergo more surgery on his left knee, which was operated on last year.The Serie A club announced on Thursday that Strootman would have surgery the following day, and it was reported he would be sidelined for at least a month, possibly longer if there is further damage to the cruciate ligament.Theres a lot of speculation in the media about me and I would like to explain to all the fans what the real problem is, Strootman wrote on Twitter. In the match against Fiorentina I got a knock on my left knee. Its bruised and therefore I should rest my knee for a couple of weeks.This gives me the opportunity to remove some scar tissue which has bothered me a bit after the last surgery and this will help me further in getting back to my old level. Its nothing serious and I will be back on the pitch as soon as possible.The Netherlands international returned to action in November after undergoing surgery in March, and began returning to top form.Yesterday, Kevin Strootman underwent further diagnostic procedures with professors Van Dijk and Kerkhoffs, who previously operated on him, a Roma statement said. The examination revealed a mass of fibrous tissue (known as Cyclops Syndrome), which it is advised should be removed.The player is due to undergo arthroscopic surgery in Amsterdam tomorrow, during which the ligament will also be assessed.

. It was the first game back in Columbus for Rangers star Rick Nash, the Blue Jackets franchise leader in goals, assists and games. He was given a standing ovation during a video tribute in the first period, but was booed loud and long after a second-period, two-handed shove up high on Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.Raleigh, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Eric Staal posted a goal and one assist while Jordan Staal contributed a pair of helpers to Carolinas 4-2 decision over Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Nathan Gerbe, Justin Faulk and Jiri Tlusty also lit the lamp for the Hurricanes, who have won three in a row. Anton Khudobin won thanks to a 28- save effort. Before the game I was preparing myself to have fun. Its fun to play against really good teams, said Khudobin. Cedric Paquette and Brian Boyle supplied offense for the Lightning, who were denied a season-series sweep. Ben Bishop took the loss after stopping only 18 pucks. Tlusty beat Bishop from the left side off a 2-on-1 rush and pass from Faulk before eight minutes elapsed in the third and the hosts were on top by a 4-2 count. Khudobin preserved the winning margin with eight saves in the final 20 minutes, as the Lightning couldnt generate quality chances with Bishop on the bench for an extra skater in the final two-plus minutes. Eric Staal scored just 22 seconds after the opening faceoff with an assist from brother Jordan, who striipped the puck from Tampa captain Steven Stamkos at the right-wing boards near the blue line.dddddddddddd You come out and give a goal up in the first 20 seconds of the game, unacceptable, and it?s basically an own goal, said Lightning coach Jon Cooper. It was 2-0 for Carolina at 6:05, when a shot by Brett Bellemore from the right point bounced off the end boards and Gerbe potted the carom from the left side. Tampa got one back when Paquette crashed the crease and swept home a Jonathan Drouin rebound with 5:55 left in the first. Faulks point shot through traffic on a power play at 8:27 of the second restored the Hurricanes two-goal margin, before Boyles short-handed breakaway made it a one-goal game once more inside of six minutes to play. Game Notes Carolina improved to 7-2-1 in January ... Tampa Bay collected its fifth short- handed goal of the season thanks to Boyle, and is tied with three other clubs for the fourth-most in the NHL ... Before the game, the Hurricanes recalled defenseman Ryan Murphy from Charlotte of the AHL.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Jefferson County commissioners next week will hear a proposal to take the county out of the health care business by placing Cooper Green Mercy Hospital and the county nursing home under a health care authority.
Commissioner George Bowman said he will unveil the proposal at Tuesday's health and general services committee meeting.
"I will be asking the commission to approve the establishment of a health-care authority and to move all of Cooper Green, to include its employees and the costs, into the health-care authority," Bowman said in an interview Wednesday.
Some commissioners say they're not opposed to the idea.
"The authority would be able to raise its own money to match the indigent care fund," which is used to operate the hospital, Commissioner Sandra Little Brown said. "Plus, the county has had to fall in line to help keep Cooper Green afloat every year" with money from the general fund.
Bowman said the indigent care fund would also be transferred to the health-care authority's control.
A bill was introduced during the recent session of the Alabama Legislature to remove earmarks that direct a portion of county sales tax money to the indigent care fund. The creation of the authority could thwart those attempts in the future, Brown said.
A report earlier this year showed that Cooper Green in fiscal 2010 got $9 million from the county's general fund and $41.2 million from the indigent care fund.
Commissioner Jimmie Stephens said he would support any viable initiative that safeguards the county's ailing general fund.
"My goal is to make Cooper Green self-sufficient and to not have any stress on the general fund budget," Stephens said. "I will have an open mind as we move forward, but I don't have enough details to make a decision."
Commissioner Joe Knight said he would look forward to Tuesday's presentation.
"I'm open to whatever they would like us to consider," Knight said. "I'm certainly not closed-minded. I don't see how they would be able to do it, but I'm all ears."
Commission President David Carrington said the county home is being sold and would not come under the health care authority. As for the other two facilities, Carrington said he needed to see a "detailed business plan with the revenues and expenses."
Bowman said the commission would be responsible for appointing members to the authority, which could include between five and nine people. A transition team, advisory committee and board of directors will be discussed Tuesday.
Dr. Sandral Hullett, CEO of Cooper Green, said she supports the creation of an authority.
"My major issue has been the lack of flexibility," Hullett said. "Health care needs to be able to move at the right time. You have to be able to change things when you need the change. You don't need three months to hire somebody. .$?.$?. I see a health-care authority giving us that flexibility."
Under the plan to be discussed, Cooper Green, the Jefferson Rehabilitation and Health Center -- more commonly known as the county nursing home -- and the central laundry would come under the authority.
That would make health services more efficient, Bowman said.
"There are some economies of scale that can be achieved through purchasing where we can save money," he said. "They all buy hospital products and there are some conglomerates that provide hospital supplies, and they can buy into those entities and realize a cost savings."
Another advantage, Bowman said, would be in human resources.
"They will handle their own staffing and they can freely move folks from one organization to another that we cannot really do right now because of personnel board rules," he said. "They will all be employed under the authority and could be used to satisfy needs at Cooper Green and the rehab center."
Richard Finley, an assistant to Bowman, said the authority would help save jobs.
"If the hospital is allowed to exist in a new authority vs. closing it down, 700 to 800 local jobs will be saved," Finley said.
Some county commissioners have questioned whether the county should be in the hospital business. Others say Cooper Green needs to end its hospital services and operate solely as an outpatient clinic.
"We have often heard the commissioners say they shouldn't be in the hospital business," Hullett said. "We definitely feel that there's a need for our services. Given the opportunity to function the way most hospitals function, we could deliver those services. We won't be UAB, we can't be UAB, but we would take care of most of the basic needs of people in this community."
Bowman said he is aware some on the commission want to get out of the health-care business.
"This action protects Cooper Green, preserves the organization and the mission of Cooper Green for this community and this county," he said. "It also provides professional management for Cooper Green and the rehab center that is not contingent on who gets elected to the County Commission and their personal feelings about health care."
To take effect, the plan must garner majority support from the health and general services committee next week and then pass the full commission. Resolutions approved by the full commission are also needed to transfer to the authority all assets, hospital tax proceeds and records and to give the hospital autonomy to manage all operations, resources and other support currently performed or supplied by the county.
Also, a decision must be made on how to calculate compensation benefits, health-care benefits and retirement plans for workers who will be employed under the authority and no longer by the county.
In 2004, the County Commission passed a resolution authorizing the Jefferson Metropolitan Health Care Authority to oversee all county health operations and assets, including Cooper Green, and to provide health care for the county jails in Birmingham and Bessemer. However, the group was never fully funded or functional, Bowman said.

As I approach my first year as a Lumber Jock, I consider myself so very lucky. As a weekend DIY-er and wannabe woodworker, I am fortunate to have seriously injured myself only once. However, I am even more fortunate to have met SO many great Lumber Jocks.
I've been involved in many different hobbies and sports, but have never formed friendships as I have through woodworking. In particular, those involved in Lumber Jocks are so willing to share advice, assist in teaching, and more importantly, sympathize with other LJs.
Such is the case with my purpleheart Purple Heart. A recent buddy – Michael (ShopDogs) Smith of Tulsawoodsmith – sent me something I have to share. Below is a purpleheart Purple Heart. Not that it should be viewed as an honor to wear, but rather a reminder to not be careless.
In Michael's letter to me, he said the little known saying was penned by a "gentle" brother of the more famous Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson.
Well, we did water the Tree of Creativity with our blood – from carelessness.
As I have read many times in the blogs, there are many great Lumber Jocks out there that have done similar things. Nonetheless, it is an honor that a fellow LJ-er would created something like this for me. This will hang in my shop as a reminder of never to spill any more blood!!! Thanks Michael.
ps – before any of you Lumber Jocks think of taking this idea, Michael is working on a plaque that you can purchase for your missing finger or other parts!!!!
-- I've never seen a tree that I wouldn't like to repurpose into a project. I love the smell of wood in the morning - it smells like victory.

Itâs been a year of more and less for Kenneth Fitzpatrick, general manager-global marketing for Computer Associates Inc. This year, he undertook a $100 million brand advertising campaign, the largest the company has ever taken on. At the same time, heâs
restructured 1,244 different software applications into six clear categories and three new brands.
The strategy has enabled Islandia, N.Y.-based CA to beat Wall Street analyst estimates for the first three quarters of 2001 and maintain about 60% of its share price over the last six months. Thatâs no mean feat when you consider how many high-tech companies have seen their stocks plummet amid the global recession. To make it even more impressive, Fitzpatrickâs marketing has had to overcome bitter and so far unsuccessful shareholder proxy battles and lawsuits to seize control of the company.
Called the "3by6 strategy" internally, CAâs marketing thrust has been to simplify the companyâs products for business buyers, Fitzpatrick said. A main criticism of CA has been that itâs difficult for customers to understand its wide range of products. Many of these products were acquired through several corporate acquisitions, including the $4 billion the company spent in 2000 to buy both Platinum Technology and Sterling Software Inc.
CAâs three new brandsâwhich are Advantage in data management, AllFusion in application lifecycle management, and CleverPath in portals and business managementârespond to core technologies identified by customers and business partners, Fitzpatrick said.
"In 2001, we wanted to make sure every CA employee and business partner understood our strategy," said Fitzpatrick, who was an executive in marketing, sales and business development at IBM Corp. before joining CA. "We are the United Nations of software," he said. Weâre sitting on a volcano of technology. And weâve been pretty successful articulating that message this year."
On Jan. 1, the company began the first brand identity campaign in its 25-year history. It began by shortening its full name down to initials, with the new CA trademark chosen to better suggest an affinity for e-commerce. Following the rebranding, CA has seen impressive growth in such areas as corporate computer security and e-commerce storefront software sales in the last year, Fitzpatrick said.
The Sept. 11 attacks had an impact on CA, located outside New York City. One of its key TV spots, "Wake up," used various Manhattan cityscapes, and featured thousands of crowing roosters causing an earthquake on Wall Street. CA had to retire the highly successful commercial, created by Young & Rubicam Inc., New York, but did not rush to replace it. Instead, it moved its messages to other media as a way to continue brand momentum.

History of Mobile Dating
The History of Technology and of Mobile Dating
Top Mobile Dating Sites:
- Be2Gether.com
- DatingContacts.com
- Smart Cupid – Mobile Dating
- SmartDating.org
- Dating24.com
Do you know about mobile dating? It is the newest in a long line of communications technologies that have been applied to dating, which really goes back at least as far as the birth of the humble land-line telephone. As new communications technologies have been invented and then become commonplace, they have historically always been used in the dating world. This makes perfect sense, as finding a partner is one of the main reasons we communicate in the first place. Also, newer communications technologies have taken some of the stress out of finding a date by making the communication a little less personal.
Read on for a brief history of technology applied to dating, from the early days up until the present day technology of mobile dates.
#1 The early days: the telephone
Ok, it was a long time ago now, but stop for a moment and think about what the dating world was like before the telephone: being a good letter writer would definitely have been a huge plus in those days! Alexander Graham Bell's invention way back in the later 1800s allowed instant voice communication between lovebirds separated by great distances, which at the time must have seemed like a seismic shift in how couples communicated. However, as the telephone is a device for instant communication, it does nothing to reduce those jitters associated with communicating with a new love interest.
#2 Advancements: the fax and answering machine
The facsimile machine or 'fax' become a feasible device in the 1970s, while a commercially viable answering machine came along around the same decade. These two devices certainly had their applications in the world of dating, particularly with certain groups of people. For example, many celebrities seemed to favor the fax as a painless way to dump someone. City-based hipsters such as the gang from the hit 1990s TV series Seinfeld loved the answering machine as a way to leave a message for someone who wasn't home, or sometimes to avoid speaking to a real person.
#3 The revolution: internet; email, and cell phones
The 1990s brought massive changes to the world of communications technology, with the birth of email and the internet in the early 1990s, and (a little later) cell phones. It's hard to overstate what a big change this was. Email is free and instantaneous, and can be sent to someone anywhere in the world. Internet dating allows people to screen for matches, like old-style dating services used to, but with the user in control of the process.
Cell phones, of course, put the 'mobile' into mobile dates, and with capabilities such as 'short message service' or SMS, allowed new ways of communicating as well.
#4 Today: mobile dates
So what all of this brings us to is the present day world, where internet dating is huge and mobile smartphone dating is the next big thing. Given that internet dating and the use of cell phones are already so popular, this technology is really an evolution rather than a revolution, but that doesn't mean it won't be mega big, or that it won't change the dating landscape yet again.
