WEBSTER � A task force made up of federal, state and local law enforcement officers shut down what they said were three extensive, sophisticated indoor marijuana growing operations and seized 769 marijuana plants with an estimated weight of 150 pounds.
Deip N. Pham, 52, and Nhi T. Le, 42, both of 11 Oakwood Drive; Ut Lee, 33, and Huynh Khuu, 28, both of 56 Blueberry Hill, and Minh H. Bui, 43, of 17 Blueberry Hill, are all charged with trafficking in marijuana, conspiracy to violate drug laws, distribution of marijuana and fraudulent use of electricity. All were arraigned Thursday in Dudley District Court.
Mr. Pham was held on $50,000 bail while Ms. Le, Mr. Lee, Ms. Khuu and Mr. Bui were each held on $10,000 bail. All are due back in court for a pretrial hearing Oct. 24.
Mr. Pham and Ms. Le said to authorities they were boyfriend and girlfriend, while Mr. Lee and Ms. Khuu said they were married to each other.
Mr. Pham, the only one of the five defendants who wished to answer questions, said he was working for someone else, initially, as security and, later on, as the person who waters the plants.
All three marijuana cultivation operations were related to the Lam Ly Drug Trafficking Organization, the police report said.
On Wednesday, law enforcement personnel from the Drug Enforcement Agency � Worcester, High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force; the federal Internal Revenue Service � Criminal Investigation Division, the Massachusetts state police and Webster police executed federal narcotics search warrants for three places � 17 Blueberry Hill, 56 Blueberry Hill and 11 Oakwood Drive.
The warrants were issued after a lengthy federal investigation by the drug trafficking task force and the IRS criminal division in Springfield, according to Webster Police Officer Tobby W. Wheeler's report.
Police said they used visual and electronic surveillance, among other tactics, to crack the case.
Officers found a large indoor marijuana-growing operation in the two-story, wood frame dwelling with an attic and a full basement at 56 Blueberry Hill, according to the police report.
The entire basement space at 56 Blueberry Hill was used for growing marijuana. The basement contained two main grow rooms and an additional smaller grow room that was sectioned off from one of the main grow rooms, the police report said.
The plants that were growing in the main grow rooms at 56 Blueberry Hill were more than three feet high and had buds. The plants in the smaller grow room had smaller plants without buds.
Another small grow room that was found on the second floor contained marijuana plant seedlings. All marijuana plants at 56 Blueberry Hill had a root system, according to the police report.
In all, 489 marijuana plants estimated to be in excess of 50 pounds were seized from 56 Blueberry Hill.
Officers said they also found marijuana-growing operations at 17 Blueberry Hill and 11 Oakwood Drive � 100 plants at 17 Blueberry Hill and 180 at 11 Oakwood Drive. The plants weighed more than 50 pounds at each house, according to the police report.
Approximately $80,000 in cash was seized from the attic of 11 Oakwood Drive. There was also a money counting machine in the residence, police said.
Police said each of the three homes had an extensively altered electrical system, in which each house had been disconnected from the electrical meter. National Grid employees who visited and inspected each site while law enforcement personnel were present found that each household breached the main electrical conduit/line that sends electricity from the roadway to the home, thus bypassing the meter affixed to each house.

If you've ever had a Red Eye — beer mixed with Clamato juice — on a bleary morning after, consider yourself ahead of the curve. Beer-based mixed drinks are a fast-growing trend.
Most of the beer cocktails popping up in bars and brew pubs around Vancouver are considerably more sophisticated than the post-bonspiel hangover cure that was traditional in my family and many thousands of others across Western Canada.
Vancouver's beer cocktail evangelist Trevor Kallies has been experimenting with beer cocktails over the past five years, ever since being challenged to create a cocktail using Guinness by another uber-mixologist, Jay Jones of Market at the Shangri-La Hotel.
Kallies's creation, consisting of Famous Grouse Whisky, maple syrup, chocolate bitters and Guinness, shaken over ice and served in an Old Fashioned glass with a rim of crushed walnuts, is pretty sophisticated stuff.
As the beverage director of Donnelly Group's eight Vancouver pubs, few have done more than Kallies to spread the gospel of beer cocktails in this market. Kallies has created and promoted original beer cocktails for pub openings and for serious competitions.
He recently returned from France, a trip he won in the Annual Craft of Cointreau bartending competition last fall with a beer cocktail, the Orange Popsicle, which included Cointreau and Driftwood Brewing's Fat Tug IPA.
All the Donnelly pubs carry beer cocktails as part of their regular menu, including two introduced last year for brunch menus called BBC1 and BBC2, for Breakfast Beer Cocktail. Nice that the beer-for-breakfast tradition is still alive and kicking.
"Customers really loved it, and both sold really well," said Kallies.
Kallies is bullish on the beer cocktail for 2012.
"You're going to see a lot more people do them on their full-time menus," he said. "The beer cocktail has been around for a while but it is growing and growing really fast."
Concoctions of dark beer and rum have been around for centuries and the Shandy — lager and sparkling lemonade or ginger ale — has been a pub staple in the U.K. for decades. Ditto for Black and Tan, a mix of stout and pale ale.
Purists might argue that a proper cocktail must include spirits, but the beer world doesn't seem to care what purists think.
The crucible of the modern beer cocktail is — predictably — Portland, Ore., where craft beer culture always seems to be one step ahead.
Kallies helped host the one-night Brewing Up Cocktails event last May for Vancouver Craft Beer Week with Portland's Ninkasi Brewing, Portland bartender Ezra Johnson-Greenough and Portland beer store proprietor Yetta Vorobik, which helped pollinate the Vancouver market with beer cocktail culture.
Surrey's Central City Brewing Co. has introduced a half-dozen beer cocktails to its regular bar menu, according to bar manager Eugene Mow.
"We looked at how popular [beer cocktails] are down the Oregon Coast and that's why we started doing them," said Mow. "We didn't think we'd get a huge response, but it has really taken off."
Central City puts its roster of beer cocktails on special Saturday nights, where they enjoy brisk sales.
Mow designed the brew pub's cocktails, taking inspiration from the flavours inherent in the beer itself and choosing adjuncts to enhance those flavours.
"Our stout has a coffee-chocolatey flavour and we put Triple Sec with that for that classic chocolate-orange flavour," said Mow.
Gastown's toney Bitter Tasting Room has a roster of five beer cocktails on the menu, ranging from the traditional Shandy to the Bitter Chill, flavoured with tequila, ginger, lime salt and pepper, and a root beer float for grown-ups made with Hermannator Ice Bock, Root liqueur, Valdespino sherry and whipped cream.
Mission Springs Brewing Company is also trading on a classic chocolate and fruit combination with its Chocolate Raspberry, a blend of Fat Guy Stout and Lindeman's Framboise.
Rogue Wetbar on the edge of Gastown introduced a trio of beer-based cocktails this month: the Gastown Panhandler, the Beerlini and the Michelada.
For a surprising twist, try Big Ridge Brewing Co.'s Porter Float, a dessert cocktail made with Sullivan Porter.
Romer's Burger Bars serve up a Beerita, made with Russell Pilsner, Olmeca tequila, triple sec and lime juice.
Trevor Kallies, beverage director of Donnelly Group's eight Vancouver pubs, created these recipes:
Breakfast Beer Cocktail No. 1
A dark espresso and chocolate blend comes together in a take on the original "flip" cocktail style. The whole egg adds texture and body.

1 ounce (30 mL) Tanqueray
1 ounce (30 mL) Cointreau
¼ ounce (7 mL) Orgeat (almond syrup)
2 dash orange bitters

2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
½ ounce (15 mL) simple syrup
3 ounces (90 mL) Driftwood Fat Tug IPA
In a cocktail mixing glass, add Cointreau, Peychaud's Bitters and simple syrup. Fill mixing glass with ice and shake and strain into wine glass. Top with Driftwood Fat Tug IPA.
Makes 1 serving
Baverniess (Bah-ver-nee-ess)
Bourbon and Amaro come together with a stout dating back 253 years to create a cocktail that is both bitter and herbal.
1 ounce (30 mL) Maker's Mark Bourbon
1 ounce (30 mL) Averna Amaro
3 dashes angostura bitters
½ ounce (15 mL) Maple syrup
1 orange wedge
3 ounces (90 mL) Guinness
In a cocktail mixing glass add Maker's Mark Bourbon and Averna Amaro. Add 3 dashes Angostura bitters and squeeze 1 orange wedge into drink. Discard orange wedge.
Add maple syrup and Guinness.
Fill glass with ice and shake and strain into a martini glass.
Makes 1 serving
Donnelly Group beverage manager Trevor Kallies penned this nugget to introduce his staff to the beer cocktail concept:
One of the first written records of mixing beer into a "cocktail" was in the late 1600s and it took the form of a flip. In 1690 a popular saying ran around early America's taverns:
'The Days are short, the weather's cold
By Tavern fires tales are told.
Some ask for dram when first come in.
Others with flip and bounce begin.'
After two decades the Flip's popularity bordered on mania and would remain for more than a century.
To make this drink, a tavern keeper started with a larger pewter pitcher or vessel, then filled it with 2/3 strong beer or mead, and added some kind of sweetening agent — molasses, sugar, dried fruit or pumpkin (or whatever else was at hand). Then came a healthy dose of rum (5-10 oz.). This mixture was neither stirred nor shaken. They would take a loggerhead (a long steel rod with a ball on one end that resembles a trailer hitch) that was heated to be glowing red hot. The loggerhead would normally be used for heating tar or pitch, but this application was only slightly different. It would be directly taken from the coals and placed directly into the liquid mixture. The whole thing would boil and hiss and foam and then settle into a mighty head. The flip would result in a bitter, slightly burned taste.

Kate Winslet Wavy Half Updo
Kate Winslet's wedding- and prom-friendly half updo is super flattering for almost anyone, without looking too young or old. Steal her style: 1. If your hair is too short, get some extensions to help you fake this 'do (your hair should be at least six inches long, though).2. Work styling lotion through slightly damp hair, comb through and set your entire head with pin curls. Do this by wrapping sections of hair around your finger and then pin them to your scalp. (You can also use hot rollers on dry hair.)3. Release and finger-comb waves.4. Touch any curls up with a curling iron if needed. Pull the top section of hair back and pin into place, leave a face-framing piece on each side of your head.
Angelina Jolie Romantic Half Updo
Angelina Jolie's lightly tousled half updo is perfect for a date or the prom. 1. For straight or slightly wavy hair, start by towel drying hair and apply a lightweight texturizing product while hair is still slightly damp.2. Roughly blow dry with your head upside down (for volume) while gently finger combing.3. Once hair is fully dry, section off your scalp into two parts by parting horizontally from ear to ear. Make sure to not brush your hair and to pull it away from your face with just your hands - you want it to look slightly messy.4. Finally secure the top section with a barrette and spray with a medium hold hairspray.

La. chimpanzees get pregnant despite vasectomies
In this Feb. 16, 2012 photograph provided by Chimp Haven Inc., a retirement home for research chimpanzees in Shreveport, La., Flora, 29, rests with her unnamed baby, two days after staffers discovered she had given birth. It was a surprise _ all males at Chimp Haven get vasectomies. One other female in Flora's group turned out to be pregnant; the others are all on birth control and the males will get fresh vasectomies, said president and director Linda Brent. (AP Photo/Chimp Haven Inc., Amy Fultz)
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - After two unexpected pregnancies at a sanctuary for retired research chimpanzees, other females have been put on birth control and the males are getting another round of vasectomies.
The first recent pregnancy at the Chimp Haven Inc. facility near Shreveport in northwest Louisiana was discovered on Valentine's Day when a worker noticed Flora, a 29-year-old chimp, was carrying a newborn.
Chimpanzees like to carry things around, and the worker thought at first that Flora was holding a stuffed animal. Then she saw a tiny foot, the sanctuary's director, Linda Brent, said Monday.
The birth was definitely a surprise. Every male gets a vasectomy before being sent to Chimp Haven because there's a surplus of captive chimpanzees.
"All the males in the group have been vasectomized. Two of them have been vasectomized twice," Brent said.
One of those snipped twice was Conan after he was identified as the father of a baby born in January 2007. Another chimpanzee got the operation a second time because records seemed "a little bit questionable," Brent said.
Following the birth this month, the other seven females in Flora's group were given pregnancy tests. An ultrasound Friday confirmed 49-year-old Ginger was pregnant and due in late July or early August, Brent said.
The females are now on birth control until the males can be operated on again, Brent said.
Chimps seem able to grow back the tube that carries sperm from the testicles, even though veterinary surgeons cut out about 3 inches of each tube and close the ends, she said.
"We don't know if that's the case here or if the original vasectomy hadn't been done as well as it could be," she said.
She said the next round of vasectomies will use a more complex procedure, developed at another sanctuary, in hopes the tubes can't grow back together.
It will take at least a month to determine who fathered Flora's baby, a female.
The baby hasn't been named. The sanctuary is holding a naming contest through March.
Chimp Haven opened in 2005 with 31 animals formerly used in medical or scientific research. It now has 132 chimps in 18 groups, and room for nearly 70 more animals.

Viktoria and Lola spent a passionate night together, a heat of the moment one night stand and now they find themselves in the fresh morning light. The sounds of the nightclub replaced by the gentle chirping of birds, the body hugging dresses are now Viktoria's classy silk gowns as Lola wanders into her bathroom to find her gazing in the mirror. This time she wants to take her time with her lover, to kiss her gently and explore her femininity. She pulls slowly at the drawstring of the gown and Viktoria's fantastically full breasts push their way out. The intimacy builds as the girls savour sucking each other's tongues and Lola rubs her awakening pussy on Viktoria's thigh, her plump buttocks begging to be squeezed and of course Viktoria obliges her. It is with this closeness that the girls climax, a most sensual coming together after the wild passion of the night before.

Apple released an updated to iOS 7, the beta version of its iPad and iPhone software, yesterday.
iOS 7 is the new version of Apple's software, which will be out in the fall. It's a complete redesign.
In the iOS update, Apple thickened the primary font used throughout the system. Apple is now using Helvetica Neue at a regular weight instead of Helvetica Neue light.
Here's an example of how the two look different:
It may seem like a small difference. It's not.
On App.net designer Neven Mrgan was thrilled about the change. Someone said to him "That has to be the biggest design change Apple has done during beta period." He responded, "Indeed. And good for them. Good for us, too!"
It's a complete change of heart from Jony Ive, Apple's leading designer.
The lightweight font was one of the biggest criticisms of the new iOS.
App maker Marco Arment called the font choice, "one of Apple's biggest recurring flaws: letting cool come before functional."
Respected designer and typographer Erik Spiekermann called the use of Helvetica Neue light a "youthful folly." He says it's just not readable.
He's not a fan of Helvetica Neue as a primary font, overall, but a shift to a regular render of the font is an improvement.
The new, thicker font is going to be much easier to read. It's the font used in messages, email, and elsewhere in the OS.
Apple's decision to change has gotten people very excited.
Beyond the functional improvement to iOS, this font change represents something much bigger.
iOS 7 is the biggest change to iOS ever. It's being led by Ive, who was previously in charge of just hardware for Apple.
Nobody knows if Ive has the skill set to do software. They also don't know if he's going to be wed to certain controversial decisions, like lightweight fonts.
Ive's willingness to change the font shows he's willing to hear constructive feedback and adapt.
This is great news, because there is a lot of stuff wrong with the new iOS that needs tweaking.

The PlayStation 3 version of Street Fighter X Tekken will offer, free, the bonus fighters Pac-Man and Mega Man on March 13, a week after the game's release, Capcom says.
You can see what they look like in action in a video here.
Mega Man is based on the crappy box art of the original game. As Capcom-Unity describes it, "Pac-Man rides around a Mokujin mech-thing that shoots lasers." It also looks like he'll be teabagging Ken, if that picture above is any indication.
Street Fighter X Tekken launches on March 6 in the US and March 9 in Europe. The Vita version arrives later this year.

Every Polish person knows the legend of the Wawel dragon. Long before Krakow existed, there was a dragon that lived in a cave under the Wawel hill. It terrorised the population until King Krak promised his daughter's hand in marriage to the man who killed the dragon. Shoemaker Skuba fed the monster a sheep filled with sulphur and now it is safe to visit the Dragon cave once again.
The story of 'Smok Wawelski' is the most famous Polish folk tale. The cave where the animal supposedly lived is now a major tourist destination. The Wawel, a fortified hill in the heart of Krakow, offers 2 more top attractions that have played a major role in Polish history: the royal castle that dates back to the days when Krakow, and not Warsaw, was the capital of Poland; and the adjacent cathedral that for centuries hosted coronations, weddings and funerals. Step back in time with a visit to the Wawel.
The first royal residence on Wawel hill was built in the 11th century, but this castle dates back to the 16th century. In those days Krakau was the economic and political capital of affluent Poland and King Sigismund I the Old (1467-1548) could afford to commission the construction of a monumental Renaissance palace. Designed according to the latest fashion by Italian architects, the palace boasts 71 rooms. Arrive early as the number of visitors is limited.
Since the 14th century, Polish kings have been crowned and buried in the Krakow cathedral. The cathedral is also the final resting place of statesmen such as Józef Piłsudski and Władysław Sikorski, and famous Polish poets Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Słowacki. A visit to these tombs and the royal crypt is a tour of Polish history - from the Medieval kings to the founding fathers of the republic. Karol Józef Wojtyła, later known as Pope John Paul II, was ordained here as bishop in 1958.
The cave that, according to legend, was once home to the dragon that terrorised Krakow, is now open to visitors. However, the dragon cave is more than just the décor of the most famous Polish folk tale: via the cave you can make an adventurous descent from Wawel hill to the river. Walk down 130 steps and then continue another 70 metres through the humid cave to the exit. By the river you will find a bronze sculpture of the Wawel dragon, created by sculptor Bronislaw Chromy. At set times the bronze dragon spews fire: children in particular love this fascinating attraction.

After the tragedy of last Friday, the leftist of the nation, headed by President Barack Hussein Obama, are demanding that the nation dismantle the 2nd Amendment and take guns away from the citizens of the land. It seems that every time a tragedy happens, the left want to remove the guns as if it was the panacea that will cure all the ills of the land.
This panacea has been tried through out Europe and other places. In Great Britain they removed guns from the hands of the people and violent crime has risen by 25%. The problem in some areas is so great that the average Brit is afraid to leave his or her home at night. In fact home invasion robberies are on the rise and the new self-defense weapons (knives, baseball and cricket bats) are now being outlawed. They are destroying their nation in order to achieve a Utopia.
In Australia guns were removed from the people 5 years ago. Violent crime has risen 6000%. The people are demanding their guns to be returned. They are not safe, the police are not helping and they have no way to defend themselves.
In the City of Chicago there have been 436 murders so far this year. That is up from 435 for the total of last year. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. Yet the murder rate is climbing to be almost 2 murders a day. That is about 60 deaths a month. Way more than the 26 at Newtown, CT. Yet the leftists in the city call for more gun control. It doesn't work.
Now we are hearing the same cries. Get rid of the guns. Get rid of the assault weapons. Get rid of the large magazines. Get rid of the bullets. But not the true reason for the massacres.
Now I've just said a horribly bigoted thing. After all, these people have an illness. They cannot be just thrown into a hospital. The old State Mental Hospitals were eliminated because they were cruel placed. The mentally ill have rights! They need to be allowed out amongst us. They have the right to a life.
What the bleeding heart liberals refuse to recognize is that not all the mentally ill are able to be amongst us. In fact, it is for our safety that they need to be locked away.
The great number of the mentally ill (90%) take their medicine, see their doctor, live quite normal lives. They are not violent. They are our neighbors and friends. They are no harm to themselves and others.
A smaller amount need a more structured environment. A group home or the like will be fine for these people. They need a person telling them how to live each day or even each hour at time. They might become violent or self-destructive, but can be controlled better.
The last group, a very small minority, are extremely violent. They WILL hurt themselves or others. They WILL find a way to acquire guns, explosives or even knives. These are the madmen who WILL commit a murder, murder/suicide, or even a mass murder. They have no feelings for others, no consciences. Killing is just another high for them. These are the mentally ill that MUST be hospitalized before they kill.
Unfortunately there is no way to commit a young person to a State Hospital to protect society. Until a person commits a crime, and is "in the system", one cannot commit a dangerous individual. In fact it is only until a mentally ill commits the crime, he or she will not even get any help. Over 50% of prisoners in US prisons are mentally ill. In fact our prison system has become our State Mental Hospitals. Prison budgets are being bloated by the care of the mentally ill. By the drugs and therapy these people need every day. And true criminals, many who will repeat their crimes over and over without any mental illness, are put upon the streets of our cities in order to care for the mentally ill.
This should not be. In fact the tragedy in Newtown, CT could have been prevented if Nancy Lanza had been able to call a state run hotline, explained her fears, and gotten Adam into a state facility for evaluation. If that had been an option for her, she would be alive and 26 innocent victims would be celebrating the season.
Should we not address the guns which did not kill anyone, but the mentally ill man who commits this crime.

Documents & Filing Forms
Viewer - Instructions and Download
Before downloading the Viewer Application, please print and read this page of instructions! You will save yourself a lot of time by referring to this page first, before contacting FERC with problem issues. Most problems will involve Internet communication issues which are addressed below. Of course, we make mistakes - and need to fix things on the server or with the software, so we do not mind emails, questions, and suggestions.
Downloading and Viewing the Form 60 Database
The public version of the Form 60 database is available for partial or complete download to client sites and may be viewed with the Form 60 Database Viewer. The Database Viewer will permit the selection, viewing and printing of individual or all Form 60 annual submissions for 2006 through the present.
The resulting Form 60 Database downloaded to the local client may be manipulated for specific reporting or analysis needs using Microsoft Visual Foxpro 8.0 (VFP 8.0) or commercially available reporting software such as Crystal Reports or others that support the VFP 8.0 database container structure. Learn how to connect to a Visual FoxPro Database through Microsoft Access to access the Form 60 database.
Depending on your browser, you can either download the installation file, or run the installation from within your browser. In any event, the downloaded file is named Form60v.exe and can be considered the Installation Disk for the Viewer Application. You must execute this file to install the Viewer Application. Follow the instructions given during the installation process. It will be easier for us to help you with problems if you use the default directory/folder names for the software. The default for the viewer is C:\program files\form60viewer\. The software should be installed on the workstation. The database may be installed on a network for multiple user access.
Once the application is installed on the client PC, it is accessed through the Start\Programs\FERC Applications menu. There are two sub-items under this heading named Form 60 Data Download and Form 60 Data Viewer. You must first use the Form 60 Data Download application to obtain the database. Within the download application, you select the company and year of interest to download. You select multiple companies by highlighting them on the displayed list. You also have a checkbox option of selecting all respondents (Form 60 Filers) for a particular filing year.
The download process may take a few minutes, depending on your connection speed and amount of data for the selected company. When requesting a download, the server extracts the requested companies from our database and creates a small database. This database is compressed, sent via Internet to your PC, and decompressed. All this takes some time. So, give it a few minutes before you think something is wrong.
If you want many companies, it may be quicker to download the entire database for the year instead of selecting individual companies.
When you use the Viewer, select the company and year of data using the available drop-down boxes on the 'Schedule Selector' window.
Download Problems
You should not experience much trouble downloading and installing the Viewer application on your workstation. However, the component of the viewer that provides the Listing of Available Companies - and downloads the database may not work properly with your workstation or network configuration. In the event that you cannot download data, it is suggested that you download the entire database for the specific year you desire from our FTP site. The downloaded file should be unzipped into the appropriate folder. Then, start the Viewer and use Options/Change DB Location to point to the database folder.
Download Problems - Potential Solutions
The Form 60 Viewer uses HTTP (to get the list of companies) and FTP Receive (to download the selected database data) and notify you of availability of updated Viewer software. These common Internet Communication Protocols may be blocked by your Internet Firewall for security reasons. This will require intervention by your computer or network support personnel. To assist in diagnosing this problem, we make available an Internet Communications Test Application - which you can download and run on your workstation just as you did the Form 60 Viewer. Please see a description of this application below under Forms Communications Test Application. Note that your workstation only needs to pass the HTTP send/receive and FTP Receive tests. FTP Send is not necessary for proper operation of the Form 60 Viewer.
The easiest and most effective solution is to ask your Firewall Administrator to install a rule in the Firewall permitting HTTP Send/Receive and FTP Receive from DNS: eforms1.ferc.gov. This presents a minimal or non-existent security risk since all communication requests are issued by the Client (your workstation). The FERC Forms Server does not "push" unsolicited information to your workstation.
Problem Reporting and Assistance If you have any problems with downloading or using the viewer application, please send an email describing the problem to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In order to help in diagnosing a problem, please attach the file F60view.log to your email. The Viewer Application writes little notes on how it is feeling about life on your PC to this log file. If you don't attach it, we will send you a reply email asking for it. So, it just saves time for all of us if you do it first off. This file is found where the Form 60 viewer was installed (possibly c:\program files\form60viewer) folder. If you see two files called F60view, and can't determine which is the log file, attach and forward the smaller of the two files (or turn off the option to 'hide extension of known file types' in the Windows Folder Options).

Word on the Syrian soap street was that we had seen the last of the hit series "Buqa'at Dou'a" (Spotlight) as the makers had been forced to call it quits. But news in this week says we can look forward to more Spotlight after all.
The 10th season of the popular Syrian comedy "Buqa'at Dou'a" (Spotlight) will start where it left off, filming in early April in Damascus, according to an announcement by the production company 'Sama al Fan'. This official update officially puts an end to rumors that the series would be canceled.
"Spotlight 10" will have a complete makeover, reported Sayidaty.net. Saif Al Din Subai (who had taken a hiatus from the film scene since the start of Syria's conflict) is replacing Director Amer Fahed, and the tongue-in-cheek storylines will expand beyond Syrians to tackle Arab and international concerns on the small screen.
We will be waiting with baited breath to hear an announcement on who will claim the starring roles.
Have your say! Who are your bets on for the lead roles for Spotlight 10?

While spending time with my son on an overcast autumn day, we came across this pond with dead leaves floating in it. What I really like was the reflection of the trees in the water. The image was changed from color to black & white, leaving on only the reddish color of the leaves to make them stand out more.
Photography has always been a passion of mine, ever since I received my first camera at the age of 11. In 2000 I decided to pursue my passion and work as a photographer for a living. Mostly I shoot portraiture, but have always enjoyed and still do enjoy shooting landscapes, nature, travel and still life. My style of shooting is very relaxed because I prefer the candid over the posed. When I shoot nature or landscapes, I don't necessarily go "looking" for something to shoot, per se. What I want to shoot presents itself to me. The subject will determine whether I process my images in color or black and white. Black and white tends to tell more of a story, but color shows the natural beauty and boundless colors in nature. I feel that...

Neighbourhood Book Lending Box
Last night I went for a bike ride with my family. On the way home we spotted something hanging on a fence. At first glance it looked like an over-sized birdhouse but upon closer inspection it turned out to be a neighbourhood book exchange. A sign hanging from the colourful box said, "Blackwood Book Exchange. Leave a book, take a book".
There were probably 20 – 30 books neatly stacked with a variety of genres including some self-help books, fiction, a handful of romance novels and a couple of classics. My daughter wondered why there weren't any children's books available to borrow and asked if we could set up our own book lending box in our front yard.
Do you have something like this in your neighbourhood? If yes, what's the best book you've borrowed? Send us a picture of your local book lending box. Would you consider setting up book lending box? I love this idea and will soon be making another visit to the Blackwood Book Exchange.

Google Plus' (Google +) group video chat feature, called Hangouts, is an excellent tool to further engage a community—with facial expressions and tone of voice.
Along with the ability to chat with up to ten people, it really is close to being together in person.
For Stutter Social, we use Google+ Hangouts to connect people from all around the world who stutter.
While it tends to be difficult to meet other stutterers in your immediate geographical area, Google+ allows us to meet in an environment that is part support group, part watercooler and a lot of, well, social! Many friendships have formed during Stutter Social's first year including some in-person meetups among regular participants.
Some examples of how brands have been using hangouts include customer service support (Dell), product demos (Cadbury UK), cooking shows (Zagat) and live concerts (Black Eyed Peas, The Flaming Lips) to name a few. Like all social tools, you're only limited to your imagination and creativity.
Q & A sessions are a great concept for hangouts. Stutter Social uses the "On Air" feature to live stream our Q & A hangouts with a special guest on YouTube about once a month. This not only increases our audience outside of the 10 maximum, but we are also able to take in questions from our audience across digital channels. We've hosted Q & A hangouts with speech pathologists, actors and comedians who stutter.
Here are 10 tips for hosting a Q & A style Google+ hangout:
1. A team is required to make things run smoothly
You will need a host, of course. The host will need to focus on the conversation instead of being distracted by what is going on in the digital channels so close all browsers except the G+ one.
2. Have a co-host
You will need a co-host to read questions coming in from the digital channels and act as stand-in if you should fall out of the hangout.
3. Create a back channel
Create a private back channel consisting of your team members so they can communicate with each other behind the scenes while engaging with the audience on the social networks. We use gchat since we live in different geographical locations.
4. Have a list of questions handy in case none come from the audience
Make sure the topics incite conversation and can provide useful information for your audience.
5. Tackle technical difficulties beforehand
We meet with our guests 30 minutes before the start of the hangout to iron out technical difficulties and to ensure our guests' faces can be seen in their video. If necessary, we meet even earlier if they need help setting up a G+ account.
Ask if anyone can hear each other breathing into our headsets. Otherwise, it will show up in the video.
We also use this time to copy and paste the Hangout on Air embed code and url to the backchannel for posting.
6. Introduce everyone
Once everyone is ready to begin, press the Start Broadcast button if applicable and introduce yourself and your co-host. Explain what the co-host will do. Introduce your guest(s) and ask them to wave, do or say something so the audience can identify them.
7. Use the mute button
Always be ready with the mute button in case of unexpected noises arising from participants if you have an in-hangout audience. Especially if you have people coming in and out throughout the hangout.
Keep in mind that the mute button doesn't always work so be prepared to gracefully ask people to mute themselves.
8. Remember that you are facilitating conversation
Keep conversation on topic and ensure everyone has a chance to speak.
9. Broadcasting or not, remember that you are representing your brand
'Nuff said.
10. It's easy for the conversation to go on and on so have a hard end time
Since Hangouts On Air are recorded, you don't want history to remember your events as rambling. Plus, a time constraint also puts pressure on the audience to participate when they have the chance.
Your recording is available a few minutes after you end the broadcast and is public by default. YouTube offers basic editing tools so be sure to make any necessary edits.
Be aware that Hangouts On Air currently can only be broadcasted to a personal YouTube account.

I recommend the story to anyone that would like a factual exciting story. You will have to read the story to find out if Humphrey finds his way home or not.

Could you use bone clay to make buttons?- Asked by dian on 11-Apr-14
This product may be used to form buttons, especially for decorative or craft purposes; however, the thickness and diameter may affect the durability. If too thin and wide, the buttons may be brittle. Another option may be casting buttons using Alumilite's Quick-Set Mold Rubber Kit and Casting Resin.- Answered by MisterArt on 15-Apr-14
What are the dimensions of this product?- Asked by Diane Rutigliano on 10-May-13
The length, width and height will vary as the clay is cut from a large block of clay and is measured by weight.- Answered by MisterArt on 16-May-13
What is a good clay, self-hardening or oven-hardening, that I can use to make dolls?- Asked by Cathy on 18-Mar-13

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – They've done it again. For the fifth time in the past seven semesters, the Tennessee Tech Athletics Director's Honor Roll has topped 200 names, with Golden Eagle students in athletics posting the second-highest semester total in school history and coming within two of the record. The Honor Roll recognizes students in athletics who achieved grades of 3.0 or higher for the semester.
The exclusive Gold Club, recognizing those students with a
perfect 4.0 grade point average for the semester, had 40
The total was just shy of the record of 217 that was set in the 2010 fall semester, and the second-highest total posted since the Honor Roll was established in 1989. In addition to those two semesters, Tech boasted 212 names on the 2011 spring list, 210 in the fall of 2009, and 201 in the spring of 2010.
"It continues to be a remarkable feat for our student-athletes to achieve such a high level of success, and they've done it for so many semesters," said Mark Wilson, TTU Director of Athletics. "The Honor Roll recognizes these young men and women, and helps us to congratulate them on a job well done.
"These impressive numbers are a tribute to our student-athletes, our coaches and our staff for making academics such a high priority," he said. "Not only are these results something to be proud of, it's especially gratifying that it happens on such a consistent basis."
The 40 who scored perfect grades to be listed in the Gold Club for the semester are: Slade Adams (football), Kris Cambron (soccer), Rebecca Cline (track/cross country), Kellie Cook (basketball), Kylie Cook (basketball), Samantha Cook (softball), Jared Davis (football), Matthew Duncan (support), Tanner Garland (golf), Kaleigh Gates (softball), Allison Geer (golf), Timothy Graham (baseball), Zephan Guyear (baseball), Emily Haile (dance), Ashleigh Hancock (volleyball), Claudia Harke (softball), Taylor Hicks (soccer), Jason Hyder (cheer), Ellie Iaciofano (soccer), Traci Jones (track/cross country), Taylor Ketchum (softball), Brooklyn Kimball (track), Seth McDonald (football), Kelsey McGohan (soccer), Adam McLeod (cross country), Andrea Meloff (soccer), Elizabeth Miller (track/cross country), Tiffany Milligan (dance), Haley Morton (soccer), Lacey Nichols (dance), Luke Nientimp (baseball), Meghan O'Donoghue (track/cross country), Dennis Ogbe (basketball), Katie Phillips (soccer), Patrick Prewitt (football), Brittney Spalding (softball), William Stevens (football), Krystal Stirrup (basketball), Erica Tuck (softball), and Samantha White (cheer).
"Everyone within the athletics department, as well as all throughout the campus community, can be extremely proud of the student-athletes at Tennessee Tech as they continue to set high standards in the classroom," Wilson said. "They are students in the truest sense of the word."

Shooting is more complex than just throwing the ball at the goal. It involves body mechanics, using the stick, deception and developing different shots around the field. Focusing on push-pull, lacrosse legend Gary Gait begins with the basic shot. The same basic form can be aided by different release points, demonstrated by the game's greatest player. From a basic position, the player can accurately change the direction of the shot. Deception is another big part of developing skill as a shooter, and Gait shows proper body position for high and low shots. Gait clearly details the mechanics and teaching points used in deceptive shooting. Gait's next focus is to share different shots from the outside. Three main shots demonstrated are the sidearm crank shot, sweeping and on the run shots; most of your shots will come from these two types of shots. These shots rely on coiling the body, dipping and side to side deception. Gait teaches his players to telegraph the fake but not the shot. Gait concludes with his infamous 'trick' shots that only he can teach. These shots include behind the back, twister, change up, the elevator and the handle slam. This video is a great 'one-on-one training session' with the "greatest lacrosse player of all time"!

- Filed under: iPhone, iPod, Simulation
- Date: Dec 9,2008
EA Mobile has moved into the final stages of production of Sim City, which should release later this month. Kotaku managed to get their hands on an early copy, so head over there to see what the guys thought. Despite a few bugs and minor setbacks from having to use your fingers to place the buildings it seems like Sim City will be a solid, fully functional (not trimmed down from the PC version) launch.
Sim City is expected to retail for $9.99.

It's that time of year again. Yesterday, Apple launched another sleek new product: iPhone4S. Noticeably different during the launch was not the appearance of the phone—which retains the same look as its older model—but the appearance of their new chief executive Tim Cook. In the promotional video below, it advertises that, "Your I-Phone can do more than any other phone." How so? For starters, Siri is your personal assistant built into your phone. This voice activated system can dictate measurements, recipes, reminders, timers and much more in natural language – proving to be the next wave of semantic innovation.
Besides voice recognition, the new smart phone is made smarter by these other features.
- An 8 megapixel camera with backside-illuminated CMOS sensor that carries more light and is 33 percent faster.
- Video camera is now 1080p, and includes video image stabilization.
- Downloading data through wireless system is twice as fast
- The new phone has a longer battery life than its older counterparts.
- Sprint is now another service provider that will carry the new phone that is priced between $199 to $399.
While others may show loyalty to the Apple brand and pre-order the new model, on October 7th, others have voiced opinions of being duped by an "imposter," according to "Apple's Absent iPhone 5 Whose Fault is it Really?" Matt Peckham, Time/Techland, while the Tech communities were busy informing each other through social media outlets about the upcoming I-Phone5 launch, Apple stayed mum. Instead Apple pulled the wool over the public's eyes, and we learned about the 4S—we never knew we wanted. Consequently, Apple Stocks dropped 5 percent after the launch, confirms, Mashable's "Apple Stock Drops 5% Following iPhone Event." Whether or not this was due to the market or directly linked to the disappointment about the new smartphone launch is moot.
What do you think? Are you impressed that the new smartphone can be your personal assistant or is Siri the most amazing thing that no one will use? Most importantly, do you think Apple needs to do some PR damage control for inadvertently misinforming the public and not simply being there to acknowledge they were never going to release an I-Phone5 yesterday?

Russian 'Pirates' Offer Hobbled NASA a Helping Tech Hand
Oct 8, 2013 1:58 PM PT
Russia's Pirate Party wrote a letter to NASA offering to host the agency's website, which is currently out of commission because of the government shutdown.
The Pirate Party -- a minority political movement in many European countries predicated on privacy and transparency -- informed NASA that it could use the party's dedicated servers until the U.S. government got off the ground. The Pirate Party promised "bulletproof collocation or dedicated servers" for as long as NASA needs and said that NASA's traffic and activity would be safe.
NASA planned on celebrating its 55th birthday this week, but most of its 18,000 employees have been furloughed while the House of Representatives twiddles its thumbs.
NSA Panel Sent Packing
In other shutdown-related news, a panel set up by President Barack Obama to assess the U.S.'s surveillance technologies has been effectively frozen, its staff furloughed.
The panel, called the "Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies," was established in August. It was supposed to meet with leaders of Congress' intelligence committee last week, but a member of the Review Group, former CIA director Michael Morell, refused to partake, saying it was "inappropriate for our group to continue working while the vast majority" of the intelligence community was without work.
The group was originally tasked with providing a report to Obama within 60 days and a final report by December 15. Those deadlines are now in doubt because of the shutdown.
Speaking of U.S. surveillance, here is a photo of Edward Snowden grocery shopping in Russia.

Putting the Freeze on Pirate Bay in Iceland
A band of copyright groups in Iceland have filed a complaint in hopes of forcing Internet service providers to block file-sharing site The Pirate Bay and Deildu.net, Iceland's largest private BitTorrent platform.
The UK, the Netherlands, Belgium and other European countries have already passed legislation forcing ISPs to block The Pirate Bay, which is the 53rd most-visited website in Iceland (Deildu.net is 142nd.)
The copyright coalition says that they have already tried to raise awareness for legal alternatives to copyright-infringing file-sharing sites, but to no avail.
In August, The Pirate Bay, which originally hails from Sweden, launched a browser ("Pirate Browser") to help people skirt ISP blocks. They also hope to launch a P2P website that is impossible to block or take offline.

LG, Panasonic TVs to Have Cloud Software in Europe
A cloud TV service from Sweden-based Magine AB will let users use computers and mobile devices to channel surf, rewind show and access archived content.
The service will launch next year and will be installed on TV sets from LG, Panasonic and Royal Philips NV's venture with TPV Corp. The cloud will be available where Magine operates in Europe -- currently Sweden, Germany and Spain, but more likely to come.

Samsung in Hot Water Over Patent Disclosure
Samsung could be in trouble after more than 90 employees laid eyes on a secret patent license between Apple and Nokia.
The license was for attorneys only, but for one reason or another it was apparently bandied about. U.S. judge Paul Grewal has ordered a member of Samsung's patent licensing team and five more Samsung staff to appear in court next week, with a further hearing scheduled for Oct. 22.
