Guest post by Gerald Haigh, freelance writer. Gerald writes regularly for the Microsoft Education Blog(s).
Do get the feeling that some schools are in too much of a rush to equip themselves with tablets? It's only human after all, that urge to get the latest technology without much idea of what to do with it. Hand on heart now. Have you never done it?
But schools? Surely not.
Well, there are stories around that make you wonder. An article in 'PC Pro' on September 11th this year, for example, tells of a school where the head allowed staff to replace their laptops with the iPad 2. They were, apparently, thrilled at the prospect. After all, imagine being able to dump your heavy old laptop and use a smaller and more mobile touch-screen device, instead. OMG! No contest eh?
But before you read the story, just spend thirty seconds reminding yourself what a teacher's laptop is used for, and considering what problems they might come across when they've swapped it for an iPad. Then take a look at the article and see whether you identified them all.
Now, it seems, 'The staffroom is full of regret', and Nicole Kobie, who writes the piece, comments, at the end,
'With schools now given complete autonomy to spend their IT budget as they see fit, you have to wonder if headteachers across the country are making similarly bad decisions based on little more than gut instinct, appearances and the latest fad.'
She's right to wonder, given the numerous reported examples of schools that have gone for iPads not just for the staff, but for all the students.
What we read, though, are the high profile stories (or, to be fair, often just the headlines) and it comes as something of a relief to find that when it comes to actual evidence based on more data, the message is that heads and teachers are probably more cautious than that.
In May this year (2012) the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) published research on the number of tablet computers in schools. They estimate that by the end of 2012, just 6% of all 'pupil-facing' school computers will be tablets, a figure that will go up to 22% by the end of 2015. If those quite modest figures hold – and estimates of technology take-up have a track record of being wildly wrong either way – they demonstrate that interest and enthusiasm are tempered by healthy caution.
In support of this, the same research finds that 72% of schools want more evidence before going for tablets. It's not so much that anyone thinks iPads, or android tablets, or any of the less expensive educational devices are bad, or inefficient. All of them are great at what they set out to do.
No, it's much more a question of first being clear, at least in broad terms, about you want to use a tablet for in school, and then deciding which of them will best do the job. That, I'd say, means moving slowly, doing the research, running a pilot – all the sensible things you've surely done right from the start of your technological journey.
At that point I stopped to wonder why, when I'd never had the experience of introducing tablets into a school, I felt so sure about that cautious approach. Then I realised it was because of what we experienced when I was a middle school head and our first computers arrived all those years ago.
Let's just consider how we handled that innovation then, because although lessons from history can mislead, I think there are some resonances with the issues around introducing tablets.
For one thing, we didn't acquire those wonderful BBC 'B' machines on a head teacher's whim. We all talked and listened and wondered and while we couldn't always see exactly how they would fit into classroom routine, we could make out the broad outlines. Most importantly, we knew this was the future, a tide that had to be caught. The children and parents were with us all the way, and we were confident enough of our professionalism to know we would fix the details as we went along.
That said, we kept our heads, and didn't beggar ourselves to buy lots of stuff at the start. We had just one computer at first, then quite quickly a second one, then we waited. We wanted time, both to get on terms with what we had, and to see what else might become available over time.
Neither, though, did we push those first two machines into corners as some did, destined for low-level peripheral activities.
'When you've finished your work, Darren, you can go and play on the computer.'
Instead we purposely put them into the hands of those who would fearlessly and collaboratively explore the possibilities for learning and creating. Not just staff (teaching and support), but volunteer pioneers from all sectors – children who revealed previously unsuspected skills and knowledge, and their parents and their parents' friends, governors, neighbours, folk we'd never seen before. A few were into IT, some had never before clapped eyes on a monitor screen, all were people who could see that something profound was happening. They tried stuff, they talked, they went on courses, they phoned and visited other schools, they linked with the nearby secondary (at one point, with the aid of a magical and ridiculously unreliable gadget that, we learned, was called a modem) and they set up an evening 'Computer Club'. Every day they knocked my door with news of more exciting developments that none of us had thought of in advance and, yes, we did eventually see learning gains mostly from increased motivation.
As time went on, we grew bolder. We bought more computers, empowered by having gathered enough knowledge and experience to choose the devices and the software that would do the best job for us. (At that point, the young teacher who had emerged as the leader of it all was poached by the local authority to act as an adviser. Now, he and I meet to sing the songs of yesteryear and tell war stories of those ground-breaking days. Although that's another story.)
Where was I?
Yes, tablets. Much the same applies, I'd say. So don't waste time wondering whether they are coming to your classrooms, because, one way or another, they surely are.
But just as in those heady early days of school computing, that doesn't mean rushing to get class sets, or even one for every teacher, and do everything at once. This is a still-unfolding story, with unwritten chapters. Best concentrate on looking at what's available, acquiring samples if you can and giving them, as we did, to the young or old but always the bold, who will push the devices to the limit, exploring all the angles. Above all, whether you can afford or can beg and borrow the samples or not, it's a case of doing the online research, asking all the questions and, above all, talking to as many people as possible, in schools, in the industry, in adviser organisations.
All the time, though, you may want to bear one or two things in mind.
Firstly, that if you don't feel the need for one tablet per student, or can't afford them, the ability to run multiple profiles on each one might be useful, so they can share their tablets.
And secondly, you probably want your students to have the option of creating excellent work with their tablets, at school or at home, using a suite of productivity software with which they are very familiar and will be using whenever and wherever they move on.
Take another look at that PC Pro article to see what I mean, and then at this, also from PC Pro.
Let's just say, if you are among those who have waited, you might be very glad you did…

Alex has hit the six month mark.
Of course that time has flown but at the same time it feels like he has always been here.
He seems to be growing alot at the moment and is rapidly growing out of his 3-6 month clothes.
He has 4 milk feeds a day at around 8.30am 11.30am, 4pm and 7.30pm and has 3 small meals too. I do a mix of puree and finger foods and he is doing well, he is already happy to have food mashed rather then pureed and enjoys gumming foods like rice cakes, banana and cucumber.
He is teething like mad and they do bother him(very different from his brother!) but cuddles and a little teething powder usually help him. I hope they start to come through soon and give him a break.
He is desperate to crawl and pushes up with his hands and knees but isn't quite strong enough to do it yet and he gets really frustrated and squeals in temper. I'm sure it won't be long and for now he can get everywhere he needs by speed rolling and wriggling to the things he wants and of course Seb helps him too. The wriggling is a real pain at nappy changing time, i forgot how quickly they can escape! He also wants to spend alot of time on his feet, and is really strong on them, he gets cross if he wants to stand and i try to sit him down and the squealing starts again.
Seb and Alex adore each other. Alex watches Seb constantly and he thinks that he is hilarious, in turn Seb brings his toys for him to play with, and goes to him if he cries and even helps to make up Alex's cloth nappies. I'm sure once Alex is on the move Seb will soon get cross with him invading the playroom and stealing his toys.
Sleep wise Alex we keep Alex downstairs until he goes to sleep and then put him in his cot, this is usually around 8.30pm and he now wakes up at around 7am. We're quite lucky that when he wakes he isn't bothered about food right away so we don't have that horrible screaming while his bottle is warming time. Some nights he can be unsettled and we have to go to him several times and sometimes he does end up in bed with us. He also sleeps on me for around an hour during the day, he doesn't settle if i put him down, either to go to sleep or once he is asleep so for now I'm happy to just enjoy the cuddles and Seb usually comes and sits with us for some quiet time and we read books or look at photos.
He is generally quite a happy baby and is quite sociable, he will happily go to anyone for a cuddle. Thats not to say he doesn't have times where he just wants mummy and cries if he is put down.
He most definitely has his own personality, he is alot more determined then Seb ever was, he wants to be doing the next stage things now even though he can't quite manage them yet. Seb was a laid back baby and still is now so it will be interesting to see if Alex continues to be more determined as he gets older.

I have had this computer for less than a month and already it's playing up on me. The dvd burner that came already installed was working fine up until a week ago. When it was working I burnt a couple of cd's and one dvd. Then last week I put in a new cd to listen too and the drive started running really fast and wouldn't let me eject the cd without shutting down windows first. In the morning it was working fine and I was transferring photos that I had on cd to the computer, then in the afternoon it started playing up. Now I can't play anything in there. If I put a disk in it makes a noise like it's trying to play but nothing happens and it takes ages to eject. The troubleshoot says that the device is working properly.
I have Nero OEM Suite (Nero Express 6.6, Nero Vision Express 3 etc) and Newtech Infosystems CD & DVD Maker (6.7).

Tehran photojournalist forced into exile for capturing post-election unrest
Latest update : 2010-02-11
Many Iranians who took part in the post-election protests in June 2009 fled to Turkey due to the subsequent crackdown. FRANCE24 spoke to one such refugee, Javad Moghimi, a photographer who risked imprisonment for capturing the protests on camera.
Hundreds of Iranians who protested the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2009 were forced to flee Iran due to the subsequent crackdown and to avoid retaliation. Some of them have found refuge in Turkey.
FRANCE24 spoke to one such refugee, Javad Moghimi, a photographer who risked imprisonment by capturing the protests on camera. Moghim has lived in Turkey for the past six months.
Moghimi told us, "During the riots, I decided to work for foreign press agencies because someone had to bear witness to what was happening in Iran. I secretly took photographs because the Iranian authorities and the Iranian official agency that I was working for had forbidden us from providing images and news about the riots. There was tremendous pressure on both journalists and photographers."
One of Moghimi's photos (pictured) came to symbolise the uprising of Iran's youth against the Islamic regime. It made the front cover of Time magazine. After the photo was published, Moghimi became a target of the government.
Even though the photo is the reason for Moghimi's current refugee status, the 25-year-old is proud of the photograph.
"Many of my friends have been arrested and many journalists and photographers are in prison. I am sure that there will be similar protests marking the anniversary of the Islamic revolution, as well as people who wish to cover them up, but I am afraid of another clampdown," Moghimi told FRANCE24.
Moghini believes that he will have to live in exile for a long time; he does not think the regime will fall any time soon.
However, he remains hopeful that one day he will be able to return home to work as a photojournalist in Tehran.

Recover your Ranking
If your traffic from Google recently plunged, it may be because of two major Google updates: Penguin and Panda. Portent has helped dozens of businesses recover their rankings and after a Penguin penalty, and restore site quality for higher rankings post-Panda. No tricks, no secrets. We help you get back into compliance and rebuild your rankings.
You may have been hit by one or both of these penalties, if:
- You received a warning from Google regarding unnatural linking or other practices
- Google notified you regarding a manual penalty
- You saw a sudden, steep drop in traffic on a specific date
- Your site disappeared from Google's search results
Portent's Google Recovery Service is effective, efficient, and proven.
Our Re-Inclusion Strategy:
First, we'll verify that you're under penalty. Many ranking and traffic drops occur because of onsite issues, rather than penalties. We want to make sure before we begin.
Penguin re-inclusion
If you're under a Penguin or manual penalty due to unnatural linking, we will:
- Review your entire link profile, both by hand and using a machine learning filter
- Look for known link networks, schemes, paid links, and other spam sources
- On your behalf, request removal from each these sites
- Keep detailed records of these requests
- If necessary, prepare a 'disavow' report, telling Google to ignore links that can't be removed
- Write and submit any necessary reconsideration requests
- If you work with us, we will continue requests until the penalty is lifted
Panda site revitalization
If your site has lost rankings due to onsite issues around low-quality content, we need to bring it closer to 'perfect' as defined by the Google Panda algorithm. This isn't so much a penalty as a devaluation. So, to help you climb back up in the rankings, we must:
- Crawl your site using RainGage SEO
- Rate all pages for quality
- Check for sitewide issues, such as slow page load times or accidental page exclusions
- Rewrite and revamp critical pages
- Remove or exclude 'thin,' low-quality pages
Find out more
We do more than restore site rankings. We study Google's approach to search quality.

Every fall, a few folks show up an hour early for worship because they forgot to set their clocks back one hour when daylight savings time ended. Yesterday was no exception as we officially reached that turning point.
For me, there is always some inner body confusion when we start changing clocks and rearranging time. I don't know about you, but it takes me a week to adjust to the time change. It is only an hour difference, but it still plays havoc with my waking up and going to bed routine.
I sometimes chuckle that we so casually turn the clock back in the fall and say we have gained an hour. We know we haven't gained or lost anything, but it is nice to think we have some control over time.
The Bible has a lot to say about time. Many like the quote from Ecclesiastes 3, "For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven." The passage was immortalized for those of us of a certain age in the pop tune written by Pete Seeger and covered in the 1960's by an American Rock group from Los Angeles knows as The Byrds (click on the video).
One of my favorite Bible passages about time is from Psalm 90:12, "So teach us to number our days, so we might apply our hearts unto wisdom." I remember hearing former Davidson College President, Thomas W. Ross, say that for years he disciplined himself to actually number and count each day and record what he learned on that day. I not so disciplined. Many of my days are like a blur and some come and go without any reflection. I'd like to be more like the psalmist and Thomas Ross and take time to reflect on my life at the end of day. I think they are on to something, and it's called wisdom.
So we have two lessons about time from the Bible. One is that everything has its proper time and the other is that our time is limited. What do those lessons mean for us today? I think the meaning is that time as a gift from God is only partly ours. If we see God's gift as having proper uses, we need to use it in ways that are to His glory. And, if we see God's gift as having limits, we need not to let it slip through our fingers.
What about you and that "extra" hour from the daylight savings time change? Can you use it in a way that demonstrates your faith and God's love? Can you keep it from going to waste? What about our ordinary time every day? What ideas do you have to use God's gift of time appropriately?

2012 Infinity Award: Publication
The Worker Photography Movement [1926–1939] forms part of the research process undertaken for the exhibition A Hard, Merciless Light at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina from April to August 2011. The volume is designed to reconstruct amateur, proletarian documentary practices during the interwar period—a chapter that remains largely unexplored in the history of photography. The worker photography movement must be understood in the context of the documentary practices in film and photography that emerged on an international scale towards 1930. The movement's main goal was to represent the economic crisis and its social effects, particularly among the emerging popular classes in the era of democracy and mass communication. This volume is a primary reference work on the subject and features extraordinary photographers including Brassaï (Gyula Halasz), Hans Bresler, Robert Capa, André Kértesz, Chim (David Seymour), and Gerda Taro. A key 21st century art institution, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is a place for research, experimentation, reflection, and the creation of critical thought. Its activities and programs aim to strengthen the role of the museum as a generator of ideas on contemporary art and on new forms of cultural production, making it a platform for experimentation and innovation. Its holdings consist of 20,000 works including Picasso's Guernica.

Finding the final few items in Super Metroid. I sank hours into the game before finding the last few. Things like the turtle room and the tall crumble-platform room before Crocomire (Ice Beam route) were nightmares, but it was all worthwhile to see that 100% at the end.
Never played it.
@ Andy: You probably should
Though completing Super Metroid in just under 3 hours and unlocking the final ending was a deep source of personal pride back in the day...playing Metroid Prime for the first time was kind of like a dream come true. It wsa beautiful, haunting and fantastic to play. Gamers had wistfully imagined Metroid in 3D for years, it was here and it was better than we thought it could be.

Greenwood Village, CO (PRWEB) January 08, 2014
Secure64®, the leading provider of secure and self-protecting DNS server software, today announced the release of its DNS Cache version 3.1 software, which adds fine-grained query rate limiting to its existing comprehensive DNS distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) defenses. These defenses allow Communication Service Providers (CSPs) to protect their subscribers and their network during the wide variety of denial-of-service attacks, including amplified attacks, used by today's attackers.
This latest release of DNS Cache adds the ability to rate limit by query type to its already industry-leading defenses, including rate limiting per client IP address, aggregate rate limiting, and protection from TCP SYN flood, reflected flood and cache poisoning attacks. It is the only DNS software or appliance ever to have its defenses tested by a third party laboratory against a variety of DDoS attacks.
"Denial of service attacks using or targeting DNS servers have become increasingly prevalent and sizable over the six years that we have been tracking them," said Steve Goodbarn, CEO of Secure64. "CSPs have an increasingly difficult challenge to protect their subscribers' experience in the face of today's sophisticated attacks that threaten the availability of both the DNS servers and the network."
"Secure64 has been focused on providing DNS server software that protects CSP networks from denial-of-service attacks since 2007", says Joe Gersch, COO of Secure64. "Our customers have endured countless denial-of-service attacks and have never been taken out by an attack. By adding these enhancements to the latest version of DNS Cache, our users can identify and block attackers performing amplified flood attacks without disrupting legitimate users."
DNS Cache 3.1 is available immediately.
About Secure64 Software Corporation
Secure64 is a software developer with the most secure and highest performing DNS products available. Secure64's patented technology provides mission-critical security and reliability, built-in protection from DDoS attacks, high throughput and low latency. It has been shown to be immune to compromise from rootkits and malware and resistant to denial of service and other network attacks. The company offers a suite of trusted and secure DNS software appliances for caching, signing, blacklisting, management, and authoritative use. Secure64's products are sold and serviced worldwide through Hewlett-Packard and their reseller network and directly by Secure64. For more information, visit http://www.secure64.com.

Science, IT and Engineering
The engineering and consultancy sector is enjoying increasing workloads, which could be good news for students looking for graduate engineering jobs, according to a report. The State of Business Report, carried out by the Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE), shows that 74 per cent of firms in the industry reported a growth in workloads in 2007. Francesca Raleigh, of stockbrokers Numis Securities, said: "The last 12 months has been another period of share price out-performance for the quoted engineering consultants. We believe that the sector will continue to be attractive in 2008."According to the report, 82 per cent of firms expect their workloads to grow again this year, compared to just 63 per cent last year. Consultancy and engineering firms said that a skills shortage in the sector was their main concern, for the second year running. ACE represents over 800 firms in the engineering and consultancy industry and its State of Business Report was developed from data provided by 121 firms.

Body recovered from collapsed Didcot power station
ANOTHER body has been recovered from the Didcot power station rubble six months after it collapsed.
The defunct coal-fired power station in Didcot, Oxon., exploded in February.
Demolition worker Chris Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, was found dead in the rubble last week.
Now Thames Valley Police have confirmed the body of a second man.
That person has not yet been formally identified.
Demolition workers Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, South Yorks., have been missing since the building partially collapsed.
The contractors have halted the removal of debris so that specialists from Thames Valley Police, Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue and the South Central Ambulance Service Hazardous Area Recovery Team can enter the site.
Oxfordshire Police spokeswoman Connie Primmer said: "Our thoughts remain with the families of the missing men and we would ask that their privacy is respected during this incredibly difficult time."
The power station closed in March 2013 after more than four decades producing power.
The site was able to generate 2,000 megawatts of electricity — enough to meet the needs of two million households.

Smitten doesn't even begin to describe how we feel about this seriously gorg photo shoot curated by a team of wedding geniuses. With Corbin Gurkin behind the lens, Maine Seasons Events dreaming up the design, Gus & Ruby Letterpress crafting up the paper perfection and Flora Fauna making flower MAGIC happen - the result is pure, inspiration-filled gorgeousness. The full gallery feels like you are lost in the prettiest of dreams, and we wouldn't blame you one little bit if you lingered there for more than a moment or two this Thursday morning - you'll probably find us in there too!
Click here for the FULL photo shoot!
From Meagan of Maine Seasons Events... Inspired by the texture and feeling of a Swiss dot wedding dress, this design started with a palette of robin's egg blue, pale peach, raw muslin and gold. When collecting elements and props, old gold framed mirrors, cake stands and plates, the look came together with yards and yards of pale blue and raw muslin, which Maine Seasons Events sewed into fluffy ruffles to adorn the tables. Against an heirloom estate backdrop, gold ballroom chairs, a crystal chandelier and crystal stemware added glamour and sophistication to the table scape. Luscious flower arrangements and bouquets by Flora Fauna included the spring's best picks of tulips, anemones, David Austin roses and delphinium, arranged in an eclectic mix of gold and pale blue glass containers. Custom letterpress stationery from Gus & Ruby Letterpress adorned with hand painted edges and tulle posies from Paper Posy Designs, along with a ruffled tiered cake from Nothing Bakes Like a Parrott, completed the glamorous look.

The new film Beowulf & Grendel is an attempt to demythologize the battle between these two mythic beings. Here Beowulf (Gerard Butler) is no badass; he's entirely human and very flawed. He's not the unstoppable warrior from the legends but a somewhat skilled and at times very lucky soldier. And Grendel is not the misshapen monster but a lonely Neanderthal with a grudge against mankind. As played by Ingvar Sigurdsson, he's sympathetic (and very hairy) lout. When he's not shouting with rage into the inexplicable heavens, he's bowling with skulls. The title is a dead give away that this isn't going to be your granddad's Beowulf story. The fact that it's "and" and not "versus" means that Beowulf & Grendel has an agenda, and in tune with contemporary mores this agenda involves demonstrating how both Beowulf and Grendel are outsiders. Beowulf isn't really that good and Grendel's just misunderstood. (This is all explained, naturally, by a sexy but socially conscious witch, Selma, herself an outcast, played by the incredibly miscast Sarah Polley (Go).)

I just received an email from Touch Bionics about a newsletter they just sent out that has an article I wrote for it. They are an incredible company and it is a neat newsletter. Check it out below….
I am currently in Texas where I am speaking at a Youth Camp with about 250 kids. We are having a blast and the kids are totally digging the i-LIMB. I will be posting more pictures in the days ahead.
The i-LIMB is continuing to be a great benefit in my life. I am amazed each week at what this piece of technology has brought into my life. Thanks again Touch Bionics. You guys are a blessing.
I thought I would add a picture or two of some fun I have been having with the i-LIMB recently.. This is taken with my friend Rob McKee…

[ Product Description ]
Why Light? Living creatures cannot survive without light (ray). Human also maintain the life breathing the air and taking the nourishment, and obtain necessary energy for reproduction and survival under the sunlight. Light and color is one of oldest therapy in human history, and full spectrum visible light therapy is the one that induces human biological change using sunlight or carbon light of fire which is artificial visible light made through burning of carbon. In the types of lights that are used in medical treatment, visible lights have duality of wavelength and particle, and when wavelength is emphasized, we call it a light wave, and when particle is emphasized, we call it a photon. There is a treatment using these characteristics of lights. Visible Light Therapy. It is applied to the treatment of many diseases or symptoms. Light can penetrate into our body and raise the temperature of deep part, which enhances level of immunity and kills all the germs or viruses. Carbonlight. We cannot survive without the sun as we cannot survive without water and air. Natural healing power is strengthened through the irradiation of safe light using most similar light to that of sunlight recognizing importance of light on the scientific base. Why diseases increase in spite of medical or scientific development? Since human did not make animals, we need lots of time and sacrifices to explain it. Riddles exist limitlessly. Phototherapy shows the possibility of cure controlling light energy which is essential to living things. It proves that a few % of light energy may cure the disease. There is still unknown area in light energy, but it can be one of treatment methods.
Carbon Light Therapy Apparatus is......
Humanity worshiped the sun as a god in ancient times and they used sunlight as a treatment method of diseases. In medical history, Hippocrates (born in 500) who is regarded as the father of medicine started to use a light for the treatment. Since then, light treatment has been spread over the world with scientific and medical evidences. Hippocrates said "If disease cannot be cured by medicine, it should be cured by operation, and if it cannot be cured by operation, it should be treated by the heat." It is to treat the affected part using the spectrum that is generated when carbon rod containing high purity elements is burned at high temperature.
Wavelength of visible lights...
390nm ~800nm wavelength among the lights is called visible lights area that we recognize as a light. Out of rainbow colors like purple, navy blue, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, yellowish green which is located at 555nm from these visible lights is known as the brightest one. Carbon and many elements are combusted and they changed to light energy which penetrates into the body deeply and makes good blood circulation increasing level of immunity and metabolism, which creates vitamins and increases calcium for smooth hormone secretion and cell proliferation.
[ Product Features ]
This product is consisted of main body, support and controller, and it is a low power light irradiator with energy density of less than 2W/㎠ which helps treat affected part by the irradiation of low power light that is generated when 2 carbon rods are combusted at high temperature through arc discharge.

New Hollow Hallelujah
New Hollow Boyfriend
New Hollow Airplanes
Ohio pop trio New Hollow -- Mick Clouse (lead vocalist and guitarist), Chad Blashford (drummer and rapper) and Evan West (lead vocalist, bassist and keyboardist) -- have years to go before they can have their first beer. In fact, they're not even old enough to vote, but they are old enough to open for Big Time Rush at Mandalay Bay Events Center tonight.
Clouse, 17, Blashford, 16, and West, 17, have already found chart success as an unsigned band with the singles "SiCK," "Airplanes" (a cover of the B.o.B and Hayley Williams hit) and "Boyfriend," all hits on the Billboard charts.
Check out their solid cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" sung remarkably by the late Jeff Buckley (New Hollow's version is a tribute to Buckley) and performed beautifully and hauntingly a week ago by K.D. Lang at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts and Il Divo at Caesars Palace separately on the same evening.
New Hollow answered a few questions ahead of their concert tonight at Mandalay Bay.
Don Chareunsy: For people unfamiliar with New Hollow, how would you describe your music?
New Hollow: Well, we are self-taught musicians who write our own music, and our style delivers a retro take on pop rock.
D.C.: How is the tour going with Big Time Rush?
N.H.: It's been a fantastic experience so far! The BTR guys and crew have all been great to us.
And the fans ... amazing! The best shows we've ever done.
D.C.: Most memorable moment so far?
N.H.: Having our meet-and-greet shut down by security because there were too many people rushing the line.
And, oh yeah, hanging with Big Rob! Cool dude.
D.C.: Have you been to Las Vegas before?
N.H.: No, we have never been there. We are so excited to see what it's all about!
D.C.: Will you be able to do anything fun while you're in town besides perform?
N.H.: After the show, we hope to spend some time walking the famous Strip we have heard so much about! (And maybe see "The Dark Knight Rises.")
D.C.: Plans after the tour?
N.H.: We finish up with BTR and go right back out with Hot Chelle Rae. We are pumped!
New Hollow and Rachel Crow open for Big Time Rush at Mandalay Bay Events Center tonight a 7. Check out MandalayBay.com for more information.

The worst thing anybody could ever feel is alone.
Vera had never done anything wrong but her life just seemed to be one big spiral of loneliness. She was an orphan, abandoned at birth. She was an outcast at school. Not even her social worker would give her the time of day.
She knew she was unwanted. And that's what drove her to it. Vera self-harmed to relieve the pain. She locked herself up in her room, away from the harsh realities life.
Then, the new boy, arrives on the scene. He takes a liking to Vera. But, after a lifetime of being alone, will she finally accept that she isn't alone anymore?

I totally fucking forgot about dressing for the occasion today. That would be because when I woke up I remembered all of us bigwigs were cleaning the attic at work today. And it's just hard to carry all that trash up and down three inch wide stairs…without having to worry about your boobs slipping out and exposing themselves (ala Beyonce) to every single human you work with.
So…good job to all those boobs who proved cleavage does not cause an earthquake.
Although, I am almost kind of sad. It would be kind of neat to be all angry and tell all of the female internets to show all their boobs which would then result in an earthquake…which would TOTALLY show my boss that I AM a force to be reckoned with and he should think twice before making me get up in the attic again and miss the next Boobquake.

Pretty much the worst thing about living in the Southern Hemisphere is the summer Christmas. Every time I see a lit-up Christmas tree in a pitch black room on a YouTuber's Vlogmas I want to cry. I miss the Christmas lights (what's the point of having them when it doesn't get dark until 9pm?), the cold, the dark, log fires and all the Christmas smells. It just seems wrong trying to recreate it when its 22°C outside.
While this blog is primarily about skincare, I am really passionate about healing the skin from the inside out. This is something I have been focusing on in particular for the past month or so and I am seeing results I could never get from topical products. I will be talking about this more in a few weeks, but in the meantime I thought I would share a skin-loving recipe with you.

Companies do not produce bicycles with VIN numbers, but most manufacturers engrave or stamp serial numbers under the bottom brackets of frames. Registries, such as the Bike Index, Bike Shepherd and many academic institution administrations, record bicycle information for preventative security and assistance with stolen bicycle recovery.
Cycle registries operate as free peer-to-peer Internet databases or commercial registries that provide the service for a fee. In the state of California, a law exists allowing municipalities to impose an annual vehicle registration surcharge for bicycles. Many registries supply decals for easy identification of registered bicycles. These decals are removal resistant and provide a visible theft deterrent. When a theft occurs, parties involved share identification details with relevant authorities or among the cycling community with the goal of finding the stolen bicycle.

Paket Yongnuo YN-160III LED Video Light for DSLR and Camcorders + Battery Sony NP-F570 + Charger Sony BC-V615
Yongnuo YN160 III is small, lightweight, and extremely portable so taking it on-location is a breeze. There are 192 LEDs arranged across the panel. It also comes with 2 CT filters that slide into the front of the unit. Diffusion panel filter does work very nice, and it provides nice diffusion. If you're looking for even more diffuse light, you may need to use another diffusion material over the light. Luckily, it's more than powerful enough, so you'll still get plenty of light with a diffuser.
LED light panels are advertised mostly for video lighting, although We've found them to be incredibly useful for indoor photography projects also. The adjustable silver barn doors come mounted to the front of the unit, and they fold flat for storage. As with most LED panels, the barn doors are only slightly effective for narrowing the light output. It's mostly designed for wide-angle lighting.
- Yongnuo YN160 III is equipped with the SET button and relevant functions,which can save the luminance and color temperature as you need, which is convenient for your next use.
- YN160 III Adopts 192 high-quality LED lamp beads with chips of extra-large luminous area. In the same energy consumption, the luminous intensity is greater, the facular is more uniform and service life is longer.
- YN160 III adopts the encoder digital dimming system which can be separately adjusted to rough dimming and fine dimming modes, more convenient to use.
- On the LED digital display screen of YN160 III, the parameter of the power output is intuitional
- Supports external DC power input, which is convenient for your long shooting (power adapter is not included and can be purchased separately)
- YN160 III adopts YONGNUO proprietary LED driving technology which does great help to effectively avoid corrugation and stroboscopic flash.
- YN160 III is supplied with two color temperature plates so it is suitable for use under different environments.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A national trade publication has ranked Auburn University President Jay Gogue among the 10 highest-paid public college CEOs for the first time.
On a list released Monday, the Chronicle of Higher Education ranked him ninth nationally among public college administrators for his 2008-2009 academic year income of $727,761. The previous academic year his salary ranked 12th. The upward move was a result of retirements that took some names off the list. The presidents of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Alabama and the University of Alabama System got no raises for the second consecutive year. Still, the presidents of UA and UAB were in a tie for 26th place in the ranking, and the president of the UA System was 24th. The Chronicle surveyed 185 public universities for its report.

Well, call me crazy and paint me pink, it looks like the iPhone 5C has finally proven it's useful for something. The problem-child device of Apple has finally started selling somewhere… and that somewhere is India.
BGR is reporting that the iPhone 5C is picking up steam, as far as sales go, over in India.
One reseller over in New Delhi mentioned…
"We usually keep around 100 units for seven days," … "But since the launch of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, we have to update stocks every two days. And sales increase three times over the weekend."
It's mentioned that the iPhone 5C has picked up so much steam – thanks to its lowered price – that it's actually outselling Samsung's Galaxy S4.
One reteller even went as far as to mention that…
"Surprisingly, I have no iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s left, while there are three Galaxy S4 smartphones still available,"
Hopefully Apple is enjoying the iPhone 5C sales as much as the Indian retailers.

Falcons have playoffs in sight
Thursday, May 11, 2017 [1] by TODD KRESs email@example.com [2] in Sports [3]
The Salisbury softball team controlled its own destiny with two games remaining. It wasn't be an easy road to qualify for the Colonial League tournament as the Falcons had to face the West Division's top two teams in Northern Lehigh (13-4) and Southern Lehigh (13-4), but their fate was still in their own hands.
Even two losses could have positioned the Lady Falcons in the league tournament as one of the six qualifying teams, likely the sixth and final seed.
Instead, Salisbury left nothing to chance and took care of business. After a tough one-run loss to Northwestern last week, the Lady Falcons (14-5 overall, 12-5 Colonial League) righted the ship against division-leader Northern Lehigh with a 3-1 victory on Monday night.
Positioning is still cloudy and figures to become clearer on Wednesday when 10 of the 13 teams wrap up the regular season. But one thing is for certain: Salisbury has put itself in great shape to qualify for the league playoffs for the second time under head coach Jeff Appleman.
"This was a big game," Appleman said. "We needed this to stay alive for a playoff spot. I don't think we've qualified yet, but that would be huge for us."
It was a combination of timely hitting and a spectacular pitching performance from freshman Emily Silberman that propelled Salisbury into the postseason.
Salisbury jumped in front 1-0 in the second inning when Morgan Goletz singled to bring home Silberman, who previously launched a triple into the outfield.
That score held briefly until Northern Lehigh tied things up at 1-1 in the fourth. Tiffany Yesik drove in Kaitlin Hoffman, who pitched all seven innings for the Bulldogs.
But Silberman, who allowed just three hits and struck out 14 batters, along with Brooke Rogers, who pitched two innings as well, kept the Bulldogs from generating a rhythm offensively.
"[We had] pitching and clutch at bats," Appleman said. "Emily had 14 strikeouts and only allowed three hits. Morgan Goletz had a couple big at-bats, [as did] Brooke Rogers and Peyton Stauffer."
Rogers' double in the sixth inning gave Salisbury the lead back at 2-1. Shortly later, Peyton Stauffer's sacrifice fly capped the Lady Falcons' scoring.
It seems to be a wide open field, where any team can beat anyone on any given night. Salisbury has certainly proven that.
A Salisbury win on Wednesday in the season finale will clinch a Colonial League playoff berth. A Palmerton loss to Northern Lehigh would also get the Falcons in.
But the Lady Falcons do not want to leave anything up for chance. They realize what is at stake when the two teams begin play at 6 p.m. at Pates Park.
"Every team has strengths and weaknesses," Appleman said. "It comes down to matchups. We would be a tough matchup for most teams."

Super Rugby: Round 11 Saturday
So we've made it through to Round 11 with hopefully substantially heavier wallets and a thirst for rugby action akin to that of a man stranded on a desert islands' lust for fresh drinking water.
This Saturday will see five fixtures being contested, the highlight of which is undoubtedly the New Zealand derby between this years' pace-setters, and the defending champions.
On the South African side of things, there's a huge test for the Sharks with the Hurricanes lying in wait while the Kings will be looking to put the misery of last weekend's hiding in Argentina behind them. Let's get cracking then!
Sunwolves v Force | Saturday 7 May | Prince Chichibu Stadium | 07:15
To Win (80 Mins)
Sunwolves 14/10 | Draw 25/1 | Force 11/20
Sunwolves (+4.5) 9/10 | Force (-4.5) 9/10
We've got a bit of an early start this Saturday with the Sunwolves and Western Force fixture kicking off at quarter past seven. It's not the caliber of game I'd generally set the old morning alarm for but I think it may turn out to be a gold mine for those who enjoy our Live-In Play betting as well as the In-Running stuff.
The two sides have made the lower echelons of their respective conference's their natural habitat this term with the Western Force occupying last spot on Australian Conference and the Sunwolves stranded at the foot of Africa Conference 1.
A lot of parallels can be drawn from both side's seasons; both of these strugglers have only managed a solitary victory with the rest of their meagre points tallies coming courtesy of losing bonus points.
There's really not much point in delving into a full on statistical analysis of this game as those stats will simply back up the conclusion that the whole rugby world has come to about these two sides; which is that they are not very good and that they ship points like it's going out of fashion.
Verdict: Sunwolves 14/10
I think that historic win over the Jaguares a fortnight ago will have given this Sunwolves a massive confidence boost while the Force's loss to the Bulls last week would have dented their already fragile psyche. My money is on a fired up Sunwolves side registering a second consecutive victory this weekend. Make sure you also get on the Live In-Play markets as this game is one that could well see a few points margins cleared.
Chiefs v Highlanders | Saturday 7 May | FMG Stadium Waikato | 09:35
To Win (80 Mins)
Chiefs 5/10 | Draw 25/1 | Highlanders 15/10
Chiefs (-4.5) 9/10 | Highlanders (+4.5) 9/10
While the first match of the day is a bit of a damp squib, the second could possibly prove to be the best game of the season. Both sides possess a plethora of players with that provocative x-factor that gets the fans off their seats.
With the Welsh Dragons descending upon the 'the Land of the Long White Cloud' to take on the All Blacks in three Tests next month, this weekend's clash is being touted by New Zealand rugby pundits as an All Black trials match. And when you look at some of the individual battles that will be taking place at the FMG Stadium, you can't say their words don't ring true.
Speaking of those individual battles, I cannot wait to see Ben Smith and Damian McKenzie go at it. The former was a shoe in to retain his number 15 All Black jumper before McKenzie's phenomenal rise to prominence during the embryonic stages of this year's Super Rugby tournament. Both players love a good old counter attack so we can expect to see some long range fireworks, as well as some nifty footwork, this Saturday.
We could also witness the All Black's new incumbent centre pairing line up against each other with Malakai Feikitoa likely to continue in the number 13 berth for the Highlanders and Chiefs' brilliant inside centre, Charlie Ngati, set to return from a shoulder injury.
There's also going to be an almighty contest between the two opposing flyhalves, with both Lima Sopoag'a and Aaron Cruden in the mix for Dan Carter's now vacant flyhalf jersey.
In terms of the stats, the Highlanders have won the last four contests between the sides. Three of these victories came in last year's tournament. The Chiefs' last victory over their local rivals came back in 2014 where they managed to eek out a narrow two-point win in Hamilton. The total scorelines tend to end up in the mid to low 40's although I think we may well see that surpassed this weekend with the attacking talent that will be on display for both sides.
Verdict: Chiefs (-4.5) 9/10
The Highlanders made a ridiculous amount of tackles against the Brumbies last week – I think it was 187 in total – and that's likely to have taken a huge toll on them physically. For that reason, I'm backing the Chiefs to clear the -4.5 at 9/10.
Waratahs v Cheetahs | Saturday 7 May | Allianz Stadium | 11:45
To Win (80 Mins)
Waratahs 1/7 | Draw 33/1 | Cheetahs 4/1
Waratahs (-13.5) 9/10 | Cheetahs (+13.5) 9/10
You know when you're having one of those week's where you neglect to do a few of the most important things on your to do list? Well, I had one of those last week and I'm still feeling a bit aggrieved about it.
Having proclaimed, in last week's Saturday preview that the Waratahs were about to go on a spectacular run of form that sees them beat the Stormers, I committed the most heinous of sins a punter can commit – I forgot to lay a decent stake on a Waratahs' win at Newlands. I will not be making the same mistake this weekend.
After a poor start to their campaign, the Waratahs have started to look a real prospect. It may not be a bad ploy to lay a bet on them to win this year's tournament outright as they currently are available at a generous price of 35/1.
They look a galvanised unit, and I have to say, I was extremely impressed with Beale and Folau last week.
While the 'Tahs enjoyed a great weekend that saw them cap off their tour of South Africa with a 12 point victory over the Stormers, the Cheetahs were once again at their enigmatic best.
Having gone in for the half time oranges level on points with the Reds, the Cheetahs once again demonstrated their infatuation with the self-destruct button by conceding two soft second-half tries that ensured they would end the game on the wrong side of a 30-17 scoreline.
Verdict: Waratahs (-13.5) 9/10
Like I said last week, the Waratahs are about to go on a terrific run of form and I can't see them having any problems dismantling this exciting but naïve Cheetahs side. Back the hosts to clear the –13.5 at 9/10.
Sharks v Hurricanes | Saturday 7 May | Growthpoint Kings Park | 15:00
To Win (80 Mins)
Sharks 5/4 | Draw 28/1 | Hurricanes 6/10
Sharks (+3.5) 9/10 | Hurricanes (-3.5) 9/10
I may owe a bit of an apology to Gary Gold and his charges. Having laid into them during previous previews for their lack of attacking intent as well as imagination, I was made to eat my words last week as they ran – mauled may be the more accurate term – three tries against the Chiefs.
Despite outscoring their opponents by three tries to one, the Sharks still went down by 24 points to 22. Nonetheless, the Natalians should still be happy with the six points they accrued from their difficult tour of New Zealand. In an ironic twist of fate, they return home this week to host New Zealand opposition in the form of the Hurricanes.
The Canes are coming off the back of a marvelous bonus point victory over the Lions. Their 50-17 mauling of Joburg's pride was a massive statement of intent from Chris Boyd's men. While it must be noted that the Lions were far from their best, the way the Hurricanes capitalised on the Joburg franchise's mistakes was mightily impressive.
That victory at Emirates Airline Park was the Hurricanes' sixth win in seven outings. Even more impressive is the fact that they've managed to pick up five winning bonus points from those seven games.
In terms of team news, this weekend should see a welcome return to the playing field for the 'golden boy' of Natal rugby, Patrick Lambie. The Sharks' skipper has yet to make an appearance this year due to a shoulder injury picked up in the Sharks pre-season tour of France. While lambie is unlikely to get a start, he could well make an impact coming off the bench.
Contests between the two sides have tended to be won by the hosts with the last six clashes having all been won by the home team. Last year's clash between the two sides saw the Hurricanes run out 32-24 victors in Wellington while the 2014 spoils went the way of the Sharks who registered an 18 point win in front of their home faithful.
Verdict: Hurricanes (-3.5) 9/10
If the Canes can reproduce even 70 percent of that tenacity they demonstrated last week, then I think they will have this Sharks side's number. Back the visitors to clear the -3.5 handicap at 9/10.
Kings v Blues | Saturday 7 May | Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium | 17:10
To Win (80 Mins)
Kings 9/1 | Draw 40/1 | Blues 1/50
Kings (+26.5) 9/10 | Blues (-26.5) 9/10
"How to lose a match in eight substitutions – The Tana Umaga guide to coaching". This may well have been the headline doing the rounds in Auckland had it not been for some desperate last-ditch defending from the Blues last Saturday.
Having seen his side take a commanding 18 point lead into the final quarter of their encounter with Rebels last week, Umaga opted to give a few of his stalwarts the final twenty minutes of the match off. With a tour of South Africa only a week away, many would say Umaga's move was a smart one, well I reckon he's not feeling like the smartest of blokes having been given a huge scare by the Rebels who came within six points of the comeback of the season accolade.
At the end of the day, though, the Blues did manage to hang on for their win as well as rest their stalwarts for the most taxing phase of the game; the final quarter. This should help the Blues massively coming into what could be a potential banana peel.
You may be thinking my last statement is the first sign of an onset of dementia as the Kings were - to quote every single rugby writer that covered the game – 'well and truly put to the sword' in Buenos Aires late last Saturday evening. But hear me out.
The Kings have been decent on home soil. Their only victory this season came at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium against the Sunwolves and they had decent first half showings against their local rivals, the Bulls and Lions a few weeks back. The Blues have been culpable of putting some mediocre displays on the road as was evident during their 22-22 draw with the Reds back in round 4.
Verdict: Kings (+26.5) 9/10
I'm sticking my neck out here but I'm going to back the Kings to stay withing the +26.5 margin. They a much better side at home and I think they will want to make up for that disappointing showing out in Argentina last week.

Crowe River
The Crowe River is a long river that flows through a variety of terrain including secluded forested areas to urban settlements. Traveling south through the Crowe Valley from Lower Paudash lake down to the Trent River system. There are good canoe routes established along various area of the
Smallmouth and largemouth bass as well as an occasional pike or walleye and other smaller fish can be caught As the river approaches lakes all four species of fish are more likely to be found.

The first is about half way (7.5 km) off of Lower Faraday Road. The last take out point is on a Forest Access Road, which is on crown land, that travels south from HWY 28 just west of the put-in. Parking is available along the side.
This section of the Crowe River is quite and travels through forested country. This route is about 15 Km in length and can be completed in one day. Most of the river is on private land and if you intend to camp permission should be obtained before hand. There is one grade III-IV rapid that can be easily portaged around.

The second access is onto the Flat Creek from the picnic/rest/swim area on HWY 620 at Chandos Lake, under the bridge. The take out point is down the river at the HWY 504 bridge over the river. Parking is on the side of the road.
This route can easily be done in a day, you will mostly be paddling through marsh lands and minor obstructions such as beaver dams. The overall route is easy and quiet until the end where a short portage leads around a set of grade II-III rapids. Once you pass under the Glen Alda bridge it is about another 2 km to the take-out point. Most of this route is on private property.

SNZ has released its latest population projections, which sees pockets of growth in Auckland, Tauranga, Selwyn and Queenstown. The rest of the country has tepid growth, while the Central North Island sees population decline.
The question has been asked, "Is this a realistic projection?" A more appropriate question is "is this what we want for our region or our country?" This is because a projection is just that - a projection of some point in the future. As a region or a country we therefore need to understand that population projections are not a given, and they do not consider what could happen in the future.
The method for identifying population change is based on the age of your population, which determines births and deaths; and internal and external migration, which is the movement of people in and out of your region or country. The methodology is largely historically based; the major variable being the likely change in migration at a national and regional level. Changes in births and deaths are a slow process, determined by population age and the health system.
So what we need to make a decision about is, what this might mean for our country and then whether we are comfortable with the projections. As a country can we survive in a global environment with a population of 5.5 million people? Do we want to? As a city, can we handle or do we want a population of 2 million people. Conversely, as a region can we handle a declining population?
Maybe. Maybe not. Population size has a major influence on the economic well-being of a region and nation – positively and negatively. Therefore, it should not be something that is a given or just accepted.
Population size is a choice. There are things you can do to increase your population. There are also things you can do to limit or decrease your population. Often this choice is made for you. But not because of SNZ's population projections but because of what you do to attract, retain and support
your people.
Any nation or region that accepts population projections as a given, and plans their economy based on that projection, is not interested in improving the well-being of their population.
As a nation or region you should identify what the optimal population size is/should/could be and then plan to achieve that size.
• Once you know this optimal size, put in place plans based on this rather than projections.
• Target inward and outward migration as this has the biggest effect.
• Target young people as this will result in incremental growth, a bit like compound interest.
Population projections should give you an idea of what your population size will be if you do nothing. If you are serious about economic well-being you need to decide whether you do nothing.
