8020, the user-generated publishing company that put JPG Magazine on the map, has branched out and released a new rag devoted to travel. To separate itself from the hundreds of poorly written (and mostly advertorial) travel mags littering Borders, Everywhere offers readers the opportunity to submit their own stories and photos chronicling adventures and places off the beaten path.
As with Everywhere's sister publication, the hipster photo mag JPG, readers can submit anything they want to the magazine's Web site and assign a photo or a story to a theme within an upcoming issue. Reader's vote on the best work, and editors make the final selection, so pretty much all the content comes from both amateurs and professional writers and photographers.
The first thing that sets Everywhere apart from mags like Traveler and High Adventure is the cover. Eschewing the hot girl walking on the beach, the editors of Everywhere plastered an ominous overhead shot of Tokyo with an overcast sky looming in the horizon. A matching story inside, paints Tokyo as a city of the future–overpopulated, overbuilt, and really cool. Half a dozen writers explain the virtues of Tokyo and help uncover its mysteries and quirks, and each story is teeming with beautiful photos that compliment every word.
With the exception of the cover story, most of the other musings are only a few paragraphs used simply to illustrate the stunning photos. Some stories beg for more information, while others could do with more photos, but for a premiere issue, the editors did a really nice job. The biggest challenge is going to be balancing the stories with the photos. Is Everywhere simply a magazine for travel photography, or is it really going to be a competitor to the meaty (and advertising rich) Conde mags? Only time will tell. Let's see what the second issue brings us.

The voice of Lorelei Fajardo emanating from TV is enough to make your skin break out in hives. But wait! You've got to hear what recent vapidity the lady is saying. Rita Gadi Baltazar made the Marcoses look and sound elegant with her wit and learned commentary, when she worked for the conjugal dictators in the 1970s and the 1980s. But Aling Lorelei -- who does not speak but lisps the most IQ-challenged statements this side of the dark world -- takes the cake for being as insubtanstial as a marshmallow. All sweetness, all lightness, and all, sheer air.
I am sure my friend Atty Adel Tamano would agree.
Philippine Daily Inquierer
March 28, 2009
The President of the Philippines expresses her contempt for public opinion by deputizing the most ill-informed, the least knowledgeable neophyte politician available to speak on her behalf. We mean, of course, Lorelei Fajardo, one of two deputy presidential spokespersons.
Her role is lip service, in a deeply literal sense. Fajardo makes herself available to the media for comments on various issues, ostensibly on behalf of the President. But what insipid comments! Even critics of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will acknowledge the strength of her work ethic and the quality of her intellectual equipment. But Fajardo is the complete opposite; she is obviously out of her depth.
But she has a task to do, and she does it. By engaging the media, she allows the Arroyo administration to reinforce its claim that it respects the role of a free press in a democratic polity. By offering jejune commentary and sophomoric statements, however, she and the administration she works for undermine both the work of the press and the object of democracy.
How can the consent of the governed be informed, when the government only wants to pretend to inform the public? Call it Lorelei-ing (or Lore-lying).
The ideal approach is to ignore her, and to wait for more authoritative statements from Anthony Golez, Cerge Remonde, Eduardo Ermita or the President herself. Last Monday, however, she said some things in reaction to the news that Fr. Ed Panlilio, the priest-governor of Pampanga province, was considering a presidential run, that made us sit up and take notice — but for all the wrong reasons.
"It's easy to talk, that's rhetoric, but what about performance? We should look at performance, because we are already talking about the highest leader of the land," Fajardo told reporters.
Her emphasis on performance seems to be yet another of those unexamined motherhood statements she was hired to spout. The deputy presidential spokesperson may be incapable of phrasing the thought felicitously, but who can argue with the idea that "performance" is an essential criterion for choosing the next president?
She dismissed the whole notion of "reformist" or value-based politics by asserting that the only — or the main — thing that distinguishes politicians is performance. For instance: "You are a traditional politician, and your performance is good, [then] I think performance should be the basis [for voters to choose you again]."
So far, so party-line. It is no secret that President Arroyo justifies her long tenure in terms of performance. Forget all the political noise (which in a moment of greater candor Ms Arroyo once admitted she was in large part responsible for); the important thing is that the economy is growing, poverty incidence has fallen, tourism is booming, and so on.
But Fajardo did not leave well enough alone. She also said running a province (a jab at Panlilio) was different from running a country. "If your performance is not good in a lower position, let's say as mayor or governor or any position for that matter, how can you lead the entire nation? That's what we have to be careful about."
First things first: The implied criticism of Panlilio is part of a long-term Palace strategy to weaken his chances of reelection. Despite what Panlilio has done to stop corruption in Pampanga, the Arroyo administration has found excuses to get in his way: by refusing police support for the fight against the illegal numbers game "jueteng"; by organizing resistance to Panlilio among town mayors; by marginalizing the governor's influence in the President's home province. Fajardo's dig at Panlilio's record should be seen in this highly partisan context.
But, more important, let's examine the assumption behind Fajardo's blithe putdown of other offices. By her own logic, only four politicians are qualified to seek the presidency: the three former presidents, and the incumbent herself, all of whom are disqualified from running again.
Of course, running a province is different from running a country. But no one disputes that a state governor in the United States can become commander in chief, or a mayor of Paris an effective president of France. Why should Fajardo suggest otherwise?
The easy answer is to suppose that she wasn't thinking. But the scary possibility exists that, on this point, the spokesperson is in fact reflecting the views of the person she speaks for.

Lorelei-ing is one honest expression of accurate observations of her. Lorelei Fajardo as the deputy spokesprson is truly nothing but sheer air--empty. She has no moral authority to even speak against anyone's performance for she has absolutely nothing to speak of for herself. What she has done only is to peddle herself-- in the walls of Malacanang and beyond. And she should not deny this! Lastly, it will be interesting to know why Adel Tamano is expected to agree with you on your great piece on this disgusting creature,Mr. Remoto.

For sure you already know the classic word search puzzle games and there are already a bunch of word search games in the app store. So what? Another one?
No! This is not just another word search app, it is a word search revolution! Who say's that words need to be always linear? Wouldn't it be more fun if there would be also non-linear "twisty" words?
This is the concept of Twisty Word Search Puzzle Free: It combines the proven classic style word search games that you might remember as a pen & paper game with a new twist. Allowing also non-linear words makes it a lot more interesting to play since you can have words that have multiple twists that force you to think "around the corner".
Enough bla bla for now… I think best way to give you an impression about this android game is to view the quick video trailer:
There are some nice features "under the hood" that are not visible in the demo video, but still matter:
- It has a puzzle generator! Or in other words: Unlimited levels! Every game will be unique! never repeat the same level – ever
- Optimized for big tablet screens & smaller mobile phone screen sizes. So you will be able to play it on all your android devices
The other features you could already see in the video demo, like for example you can choose the word categories, the size of the puzzle and you can adjust the style of the graphics of the game. There are now even more word categories with the latest updates btw.
Want to try it? Here you can find it at google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webproductblog.twistywordsearchpuzzle.free
BTW: feel free to add your comments or ask questions below. Many Thx!
(Disclaimer: I developed this app myself, so I won't add an app rating here)

Realizing Revival: Attitude Check
Hebrews 4:12(NASB)
12For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
The noted English architect Sir Christopher Wren was supervising the construction of a magnificent cathedral in London. A journalist thought it would be interesting to interview some of the workers, so he chose three and asked them this question, "What are you doing?" The first replied, "I'm cutting stone for 10 shillings a day." The next answered, "I'm putting in 10 hours a day on this job." But the third said, "I'm helping Sir Christopher Wren construct one of London's greatest cathedrals."
As we progress in revival, we must examine ourselves as God examines us. All of the outward trappings mean very little to God, He examines us from the inside out. God spends some time figuring out the "why" of what we do, and not just the "what".
Having a poor attitude can hinder our spiritual development even we appear to be doing all the right things. It is sometimes possible to do the right things, and have the wrong motivations, and therefore our "right things" become sinful.
Sometimes our attitude just stinks! I told the church council as much last Tuesday. I asked them to pray for me because my attitude that night was just awful. Unfortunately for me, it just got worse throughout the week. As the week progressed one thing after another went wrong, everyone in the house was sick, a 15 minute meeting with another pastor turned into a 3 hour ordeal, my daughter discovered her driver's license was expired the day before she was to board the plane to New York City, and then to cap it all off I discovered that someone in Herndon, VA had helped themselves to all the money in my bank account so I spent all day Friday filing police reports and closing accounts. Needless to say, my attitude wasn't the model that you need to be emulating!
Satan doesn't want us to talk about attitude. He's perfectly happy when we are angry, or confused, or discouraged. Satan likes for us to be nit-picking with one another and on each other's backs. He likes for us to doubt God's word, and be weak in our faith. It fits his agenda and pleases him greatly.
When we begin to adjust our thoughts, and bring our attitudes into compliance with God's plan then Satan loses ground. When we have our attitude in tune with God, Satan no longer has a lever to use against us, he loses his purchase.
God pays attention to attitude! If we are to truly realize revival, we are going to have to examine our attitudes and make sure we are on the same page that God is on.
We Must Have The Right Attitude Toward Sin
Calvin Coolidge was known as a man of few words. Returning from worship services one day, his wife asked him what did the preacher preach on. "Sin," he replied. "Well, what did he say about it," she continued. "He was agin it!" Coolidge answered.
Folks I'm telling you this morning that we need to be "agin it". We must oppose, and flee sin in all of its forms.

Ezekiel 37:1-10
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out [a]by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, they were very dry. 3 He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord [b]God, You know." 4 Again He said to me, "Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.' 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause [c]breath to enter you that you may come to life. 6 I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the Lord.'"
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a [d]noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9 Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life."'" 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
In his day, hope had become a rare commodity. Ezekiel must have felt as desolate and useless as the piles of bones that he had seen in a startling vision.
As the prophet sat in the middle of a valley, he knew that only a miracle could bring together his decimated and scattered people. Yet as Ezekiel watched, a miracle of life took place. Where before only dry bones had littered the landscape, the Lord added muscles, tendons, and tissue. And into those restored, silent bodies, God breathed new life.

Pushing To Success
Exodus 17:8-16 (King James Version)
8Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
10So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
15And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
16For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
During World War II a Marine was serving in the South Pacific. His platoon was under fire and they were trying to signal their comrades that they had taken a certain hill. Their sergeant issued an order for a man to take the American flag and raise it up on a pole to let other units know they had taken this ground. As he grabbed the flag and ran off to raise it up, he was shot by a sniper. Another man was sent to retrieve the flag and raise it up. He too was shot. Finally, a young private spoke up and said, "Sergeant, in just a few minutes it will be four o'clock. If you will let me wait until then, I will take that flag, I will raise it up on that pole." The sergeant thought for a moment and said, "All right son." At four o'clock, that private jumped out of his foxhole, ran over and picked up the flag, and then he ran to that pole and raised it up. He then turned and ran back to his foxhole and jumped in without so much as a scratch. The men cheered and the sergeant asked him why he wanted to wait until four o'clock to do what he did. The private replied, "Well sir, its four o'clock here, but it's 6am back home in Kansas. My mother loves Jesus and she told me that every morning at 6am she would be on her knees praying for my safety. I knew that I would be safe while mama touched heaven for me."

Ex-Giants DE Osi Umenyiora Goes On Mini-Rant About The Cowboys
Recently retired pass rusher Osi Umenyiora may not be playing anymore, but his hate for the Cowboys has not stopped. Osi took to twitter Wednesday afternoon to give his thoughts on the upcoming Cowboys-Giants game and the final score:
Cowboys will lose by 3 touchdowns on Sunday night. Why? Because I said so.
— Osi Umenyiora (@OsiUmenyiora) September 9, 2015
Not only that, he wanted everybody to know just how overrated the Dallas Cowboys are…
Overrated O line. Unstable at RB. Good WR. Erratic QB. Keep drinking the Kool aid. But the Cowboys can and will be beat.
— Osi Umenyiora (@OsiUmenyiora) September 9, 2015
Here's Osi replying to a Cowboys fan letting him know just how he feels about his team:
@QYork_ or maybe I just dislike the Cowboys. And I can't hide it

Title: Makin' Magic
Company: Polydor
Catalog: PD-1-6103
Year: 1977
Country/State: Toronto, Canada
Grade (cover/record): VG/VG+
Comments: minor ring wear;
Available: 1
Catalog ID: 307
Price: $10.00
I clearly remember buying this album as a college freshman and one of my dorm mates asking who Patty Travers was. I was puzzled by the comment and realized it was based on a cursory glance at the cover - I'm thinking the t-shirt straps probably had something to do with it. Makes me laugh after all these years and yeah, I'd have to agree with the dorm mate, the shirt was probably a poor fashion choice even in 1977.
Co-produced by Travers and Emile Zoghby, I remember initially being knocked over by "Making Magic". The combination of Travers ragged voice and guitar gymnastics was very impressive to a bunch of 17 year olds who thought Clapton and Hendrix were about as good as it got. That meant this album got lots of playing time on the dorm turntable (dating myself here). True, most of the album focused on conventional guitar rock ('Making Magic') with an occasional nod to funk ('Need Love' and 'Hooked on Music'). Travers was certainly a gifted player, capable of handling multiple genres. As mentioned, his voice got less recognition, but I always liked his gruff shouting style. Admittedly, with the exception of the closing instrumental 'What You Mean To Me', there wasn't anything particular original across these eight tracks, but after a couple of cold beers it hardly mattered. Personal favorite - the closing instrumental 'What You Mean To Me'.
"Makin' Magic" track listing:
(side 1)
1.) Makin' Magic (Pat Travers) - 5:10
To be honest, the title track was essentially a platform to showcase Travers guitar pyrotechnics. Nothing more, nothing less. If you were looking for subtlety, then this wasn't the place to look. On the other hand, if you were a fan of Travers chops, it was a nice addition to the catalog. For anyone interested, YouTube has a 1977 live performance of the track. The black and white clip has a couple of technical glitches, but is still interesting. The line-up appears to be a little different than the studio band; Clive Edwards having replaced Nicko McBride on drums. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojJ6HiM2ENA rating: *** stars
2.) Rock 'n' Roll Susie (Pat Travers) - 3:37
Hum, Travers version of the blues ... Not bad with plenty of lead guitar, but 'Rock n Roll Susie' lacked some of the finesse Travers was capable of bringing to the stage. YouTube has a live 1976 performance of the song from the German Rockpalast television show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP5BSOZV5_U rating: *** stars
3.) You Don't Love Me (Pat Travers) - 3:27
Pat Travers and company do bar boogie ... To my ears this one sounded like sub par Foghat complete with Travers trying out his best Lonesome Dave impression. The slide work was nice enough, but, yeah, I think I'd pull out 'Fool In the City' rather than this one. YouTube has the band performing the song live for a German television show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9hdyK5RsJ0 rating: ** stars4.) Stevie (Pat Travers) - 7:13
With a nice anthem feel, the ballad 'Stevie' has always been one of my favorite Travers tunes. Would have made a nice single. rating: **** stars
(side 2)
1.) Statesboro Blues (Willie McTell) - 3:45
Fans rate this one highly, but I just don't see the attraction. It's nice enough, though anyone familiar with the original will be hard pressed to recognize the melody. I'll simply say it's far from the best version of this blues classic you'll ever hear.
2.) Need Love (Pat Travers) - 5:03
The album's most interesting number, 'Need Love' found Travers and company taking a stab at funky rock (or rock funk) ... Sounds kind of strange and it was initially a little disconcerting, but powered by Peter Cowling crushing bass line, this was one of the album's forgotten treasures. Way cool. YouTube has another Rockpalast clip at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOOQXlMCYmY rating: **** stars3.) Hooked On Music (Pat Travers) - 6:27
Okay, the lyric was a bit cheesy, but this one was interesting if only because it was another stab at getting funky. Once again bassist Cowling proved the band's overlooked sparkplug. Another Rockpalast clip can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vjDZAocnkc rating: **** stars
4) What You Mean To Me (instrumental) (Pat Travers) - 4:37
With a mild jazzy inflection, the instrumental 'What You Mean To Me' was easily the album's prettiest melody ... quite unlike anything else on the album and perhaps because it avoided the usual guitar pyrotechnics, it was one of the standout performances. Always wondered what effect Travers used on the guitar. It sounded a bit like 10cc's gizmo effect. rating: **** stars

How a Tweet Propelled Cesar Kuriyama on Jon Favreau's Set and What We Can Learn From It
Cesar Kuriyama, who created the "1 second every day app" during a leap year and ended up speaking at TED, also managed to get his app in Jon Favreau's film Chef.
In an excellent interview with Michael and Pete from the Crowdscene Podcast, Kuriyama recalls how his presence on the set of Chef was triggered by a genuine impulse, months earlier on Twitter.
Kuriyama felt Favreau didn't receive enough praise for still playing Downey Jr's chauffeur in Iron Man 3, even though he was no longer the director. (Favreau directed Iron Man 1 & 2). He tried to express his support to the famous filmmaker in a tweet, and after dozens of attempts, gave up, feeling silly and that it was pointless to reach out to someone that big. Kuriyama turned off his phone's screen and went to bed.
The next morning, at 6am, he opened up his screen to see his latest 'draft' to Favreau and decided to hit send, because-why-not-after-all…
Turned out that Favreau saw the tweet, checked Kuriyama's bio, clicked on the link to his app and had his team contacted Kuriyama a bit after, asking if they could use the app in Favreau's new film.
The biggest lesson for me here, is that Kuriyama thought Favreau was out of reach and because of that almost got discouraged at sending him a tweet, even though his intention came from a genuine place.
He felt like Favreau was passed interacting with "unknown people" and I think we all feel that way at one point. There is someone whose work we appreciate, or connect to, and we don't say anything because there's this unspoken notion that there is a line between those who made it on a global scale, and those who didn't.
The fact that Kuriyama did it anyway, and the ripple effect it had got me thinking.
What do you have to lose, actually doing what you would normally look as a crazy/hopeless action?
Just to be clear, I'm not talking about giving your spec script to Guillermo del Toro while at a book signing (this won't actually fly) but reasonable actions such as, sending a message to someone whose work has touched you to let them know about it. Yes, they might never reply (the probability is that they won't reply) but one day, your intention, might connect with their attention, and a strange ripple effect might occur.
Just before writing this article, I took a pen and a paper and wrote down "5 crazy actions I could do". And I will go through them, in the coming month. Or try to get as close as I can.
So this is my invitation to you: write down 5 "crazy" actions you could do, professionally speaking, and see what happens. Maybe nothing will seem to happen, but I have a hunch that you won't feel the same afterwards.

Heejun Han on Getting Booted From 'American Idol'
Was it too little, too late for Heejun Han, the 22-year-old singer-slash-comedian voted off of "American Idol" last night? Knowing how the story ends, Heejun says he wouldn't have done anything differently.
"I really wanted to have fun," Heejun said in an interview with Speakeasy. "I wouldn't change it."
He said it wasn't Steven Tyler's advice from two weeks ago to start getting serious after a lively, somewhat amusing performance during Billy Joel week that made him lay it all out there this week with an amazingly moving, but slightly flawed, rendition of "A Song For You," but rather the critics he wanted to prove wrong.
"I really wanted to shut the critics' mouths for at least a week," he said. "They were saying I didn't belong here, at least I got to show them what I have."
But even to the bitter end, Heejun was cracking the jokes. At least we think so.

Toyota Hill-Assist Control
Residents of Jakarta has memorized correctly with 'special' Friday night. Great jam everywhere. On streets, cars snaking, creeping, despair. The difficulty increases if you have to jam on the ramp, flyover eg. Especially the manual transmission car. As the car about to move back, it will definitely sagging.
As it is known as the car manual should start, clutch pedal is pressed the left foot to release the engine-gearbox connection. At the time the engine brake so lost. The only thing holding is brake only. When your right leg should be moved to the gas pedal, the brake is lost. At this point no things is holding the car. It is inevitably sagging car. Along with that, usually the feet of experienced drivers have started to release the clutch pedal pressure so that the engine power began to flow. Plus the gas pedal pressure to make cars that sagging can move forward.
For novice drivers, or who are not familiar with the manual transmission, the above conditions tend to create panic because the car seemed to be uncontrollable. If you really panicked, the car could have ended up in a car behind the front bumper. Especially when the car is used SUV or pickup double cabin heavy. Cars like this is more difficult to accelerate the ramp.
Such a situation would not come if the car also featured with Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
HAC serves to prevent the car sliding backwards when starting on a hill. So while on the climb and gear lever in forward position, so when the foot pedal from the brake pedal switch, the system automatically hold the car so as not to resign. given time about 5 seconds. Its enough time to move the foot from the brake to the gas pedal. After that, the car is not to take it anymore. So the driver can run the car more relaxed. When active HAC, brake lights lit for car, so the driver behind still be aware.
The secret behind this technology is to design a new wheel speed sensor which is now using Magnetic Resistance Element (MRE) that can detect when the wheels began to revolve slowly until almost silent. Magnetic Inductive Sensor advantages over commonly used can only spin the wheel to accurately measure the slow 5km / h. Another advantage MRE can know the direction of wheel rotation.
Toyota is one of the first brand to apply this technology are in the Toyota 4-Runner in the first half decade of 2000. Since then this feature is used in several models including the Lexus GX. In Indonesia, only in the premium SUV, the Toyota Land Cruiser and Toyota's Crown luxury sedan.

Vitamin D boost may lower blood pressure
Taking vitamin D supplements may lower blood pressure and boost exercise performance, research has shown.
Volunteers given the vitamin daily for two weeks saw fitness improvements that allowed them to cycle longer with less exertion.
Their blood pressure and levels of the stress hormone cortisol were also lower compared with another group taking a dummy pill.
Many people in Ireland are deficient in vitamin D, which is chiefly obtained from the action of sunlight on the skin.
Dr Raquel Revuelta Iniesta, from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, said: "Our pilot study suggests that taking vitamin D supplements can improve fitness levels and lower cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure."
The scientists plan to follow up the small study, with a larger clinical trial looking at both healthy individuals and groups such as athletes and cyclists.
In the test, volunteers taking vitamin D were able to cycle 6.5 kilometres in 20 minutes at the end of the two weeks compared with five kilometres at the start.
Despite cycling 30pc further than participants given the inactive placebo, they showed lower signs of exertion.

Commanded former 4-star Marine Corps general and new White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly in the immediate firing of Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci. With brash, trash-talking vulgarities in a phone interview with The New Yorker Magazine, the Mooch, as Mr. Scaramucci likes to call himself, accused the White House staff of leaks to the press and threatened to fire the entire communications staff.
While Mr. Kelly's concerns were reportedly the decisive factors in Mr. Scaramucci's departure, it was reported by Mike Allen, the co-founder of the Web site Axios that, "initially, we're told, the President loved the Mooch quotes." But Mr. Trump's family helped him quickly sour on his newly-appointed bombastic, Long Island-bred former hedge fund manager.
Recruited as Mr. Trump's tough-talking alter ego to ferociously fight for the President in a way others had not, Mr. Scaramucci went too far even in the eyes of a President who delights in pushing the boundaries of political and social decorum, the New York Times noted.
Sporting a blinding ambition that triggered his current divorce proceedings, the 52-year-old Wall Street financier had been "hell-bent" on claiming his position at the White House after he was originally pegged for a senior role and, in preparation, sold his Sky Bridge Capital investment firm.
Blocked by Reince Priebus, Mr. Trump's then Chief of Staff whom Mr. Scaramucci characterized in the tirade as a #$%$)*&6 "paranoid schizophrenic," and Stephen K. Bannon, the Chief White House Strategist before an aggressive campaign, Mr. Scaramucci was made the Director of Communications in mid July, triggering then Press Secretary Sean Spicer's resignation.
The New Yorker weighed in with: "Originally endorsed by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Mr. Scaramucci seems to have been installed to carry out Donald Trump's management style in his personal language of obscenity and contempt to help demean and get rid of retainers who have proved disappointing or threatening to his interests."
In addition, Mr. Scaramucci seemed to be, at least for the moment, overshadowing the President — a fact that Breitbart News, which Mr. Bannon once directed, pointed out in a headline describing Mr. Trump as second fiddle to his Communications Director.
The moral:
Mr. Scaramucci has not learned from his idol and role model, President Trump, that to threaten the media, in this case to reveal a source, and abuse his power, only heightens the scrutiny and enhances the focus of intrepid journalists.
The morning after his midnight confession, Mr. Scaramucci tweeted: "I made a mistake in 'trusting' a reporter. It won't happen again." General Kelly made certain that it won't.

This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending application Ser. No. 08/248,382 filed on May 24, 1994 by MacGregor, et al., entitled VOLTAGE PROTECTION FOR ADD IN CARDS WITH SIDESWIPE CONTACTS
1. Field of the Invention
The subject invention relates to printed circuit cards for add in functions for computer based systems. More particularly, the invention relates to improved configurations for sideswipe contacts on printed circuit cards that improve safety and utility.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) standard was developed to provide user installed memory and I/O functions for small form factor digital computer systems. The standard specifies a card containing a printed circuit board. This product is usually referred to as a PCMCIA card or a PC card. There are three card formats: Types I, II and III. All three have external dimensions of 54 millimeters by 85.6 millimeters. Thicknesses vary. Type I is 3.3 millimeters thick. Type II is 5 millimeters thick and Type III is 10.5 millimeters thick. The standard specifies a 68 pin connector on one end. The 68 pin connector plugs into a mating connector mounted on a header which is in turn mounted to a mother board or daughter board located inside the host. The header is U shaped with the 68 pins at the base of the U. There is a wide variation of headers including headers for different thickness cards; however, the 68 pin connector is common to all PCMCIA cards.
The PCMCIA standard specifies the function of each of the 68 pins in the connector and supports either an 8 bit or 16 bit bus. There are four ground pins, two power pins and up to 3 free signal pins for additional functions.
The original PCMCIA cards were for memory addition and thus had no interaction with external devices. I/O cards were developed later to add functions such as modems, faxes, network interfaces, multi-media interfaces and sound cards. In order to handle I/O functions, a second connector was needed. However, this can only be done in a way that does not sacrifice backward compatibility. This means for example that the physical form factor cannot change and the 68 pin connector must be retained and in precisely the same location that it now commands.
By virtue of the small size of the cards, there were no standard I/O connectors or cables that were suitable. In order to solve that problem, the manufacturers of PCMCIA cards developed custom connectors and cables that mate with the card. Because they are small, it is difficult to make them robust. Because they are non-standard, they are more expensive and not readily available.
The patent application referenced in the first section, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROPAGATING SIGNALS IN IC CARDS, presents a solution to the external cable problem. Rather than having a custom I/O connector on the end of the card, a "sideswipe" approach puts contacts on the side of the card. Contacts can be on one or both sides of the card. To do this, the header that the card plugs into is designed to have contacts that pick up the contacts on the side of the card when the card plugs into the host computer. The mother board in the host picks up the connections from the header and internally wires them to the back or side of the host computer where there is enough room for standard I/O connectors. Thus, the user need only plug in the card. There is no cable to forget or break.
However, there are problems with the sideswipe solution. A first problem relates to the isolation of electrical signals. That is, electrical signals on the sideswipe contact must be isolated from the chassis ground of the host computer. This is both for human safety and to protect the host hardware. For example, suppose that there is a non-sideswipe card plugged into a sideswipe header inside a host which is in turn connected to a telephone line. In order to ring a telephone, signals called tip and ring are put on the line, and these signals are about 150 volts. In addition, if lightning were to strike nearby, a very high voltage spike could appear on the phone line. Thus, provision must be made in the design of the add in PC card system so that such voltages do not appear on the system chassis.
The sideswipe concept as described in the Scheer application has contacts like a leaf spring which wipe the side of the card. If the side of the card is metal, the contacts would be in contact with the ground of the chassis. And such cards are on the market.
A second problem relates to dangers from not having the PC card fully inserted. If this happens, the first contact on the card would make contact with the next to last contact on the header, or even some other contact. In this case, there could be a host computer circuit and external-signal mismatch. For example, a tip and ring signal could end up on a logic line. If this happened, much of the circuitry in the host would likely be destroyed.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an apparatus that detects the presence of a sideswipe card as it is being inserted.
It is another object of the invention to provide an apparatus that prevents the contacts in the header from contacting the side of the add in PC card unless a sideswipe type add in PC card is present.
It is yet another object of the invention to protect the host computer and user from high voltage spikes because the chassis ground is not isolated from the system ground.
It is yet another object of the invention to protect the host computer from a mismatch of an external signal and the host circuitry resulting from the PC card being not completely inserted.
These and other objects of the invention may be achieved in an improved add in PC card sideswipe connector system. The basic PC card add in system consists of a card having a substantially rectangular top view with a long and short dimension and including a printed circuit board surrounded and supported by a frame, a first connector mounted to the frame along one of the short dimensions and electrically connected to the printed circuit board and a second connector consisting of one or more electrical contacts mechanically mounted to the frame along at least one of the long dimensions, each being electrically connected to the printed circuit board. In addition, the basic PC card add in system includes a header assembly which is electrically and mechanically connected to the host computer and is mechanically shaped to receive the PC card in an inserting relationship and includes a third connector therein which is electrically connected to the host computer and adapted to mate with the first connector socket in the card, a fourth connector located on the header so as to mate with the second connector on the PC card. The improvement comprises means associated with the add in PC card for identifying the card as having the second connector; and means associated with the header for causing the forth connector to be electrically isolated from an inserted PC card unless the PC card is equipped with the second connector. A preferred embodiment consists of a modem located on the printed circuit board. An I/O socket is mounted on the frame opposite the first connector. The I/O socket has a plurality of positions including one or more positions which are electrically connected to the modem. A relay is located in the card typically on the printed circuit board. The relay has one side connected in common to the modem and the positions on the I/O socket. The side of the relay is connected to the second connector. The control input to the relay is connected to a position of the I/O socket separate from the one or more modem positions. A voltage source is connected to a position in the socket separate from the modem positions and the control signal position. An I/O plug is designed to have one side operatively connected to the telephone network and the other side of the adapted to connect to the I/O socket such that all pins in the plug mate with the corresponding positions in the I/O socket. The I/O plug contains a lead interconnecting and creating a short circuit between the relay control pin and the relay signal pin. This causes the voltage source to appear on the input of the relay when the I/O plug is inserted into the I/O socket.
The invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with the drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a top view of a prior art add in card slot in a host computer that is equipped with sideswipe contacts;

An important aspect of the present invention is the recognition of the problems created by a non-sideswipe PC card being inserted into a host computer equipped with a slot for sideswipe PC cards. FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate the prior art and its problems.
FIG. 1 is a top view of an add in card slot in a host computer that is equipped with sideswipe contacts. Referring now to FIG. 1, a mother board or daughter board 12 has an opening or slot 14. Slot 14 is defined by long dimensions 16 and 18 and by short dimension 20 of mother board 12. A 68 pin connector 22 is positioned along short dimension 20 and electrically connected to mother board 12. Long dimensions 16 and 18 each contain channels as illustrated by lines 24 and 26 respectively. Within channels 24 and 26 are sideswipe connectors 28 through 34 which are connected via conductive signal leads 36 through 42 to mother board 12.
FIG. 2 is an end view of slot 14 which more clearly shows the positioning of sideswipe connectors 30 and 34 in channels 24 and 26.
FIG. 3 is a side view of a prior art add in PC card having sideswipe contacts. Referring now to FIG. 3, PC card 44 includes a frame 46 which surrounds and supports a printed circuit board (not shown). A top cover 48 and a bottom cover 50 are bonded to frame 46. Sideswipe contacts 52 and 54 are flat conductive surfaces mechanically mounted in or near the plane of the outer surface of frame 46 and electrically connected to the printed circuit board of the PC card. Contacts 52 and 54 are positioned to make contact with sideswipe connectors 28 and 30 in FIG. 1 when card 44 is fully inserted into slot 14. Frame 44 fits into and slides with respect to channels 24 and 26.
As can be seen best from FIG. 2, if a PC card of any type, sideswipe or non-sideswipe, is inserted into slot 14, sideswipe connectors 28 through 34 will scrape along frame 46. If frame 46 is metal, as many are, the chassis ground is connected directly to the sideswipe circuitry. If the frame is painted, particles of paint may rub off and foul connectors 28 through 34.
These problems are generally avoided by the present invention which in its broadest conceptualization provides for a means of distinguishing between sideswipe and non-sideswipe PC cards as the card is inserted into the host and preventing electrical contact between the PC card and the host in the sideswipe area unless a sideswipe card is inserted.
FIG. 4 is a top view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is a complete contact system consisting of both the PC card with sideswipe contacts and a header assembly into which the PC card fits. The header assembly is mechanically and electrically connected to the host computer. Referring now to FIG. 4, PC card 60 is shown partially inserted into header assembly 61. PC card 60 contains sideswipe contacts 62 along one of its long dimensions. The invention contemplates having sideswipe contacts on one or both long dimensions. A header frame member 64 is an L-shaped structural part of header assembly 61 that mechanically defines a portion the slot into which card 60 is inserted. Frame member 64 has a base portion 66.
Contact block 68 is an electrically insulating member of rectangular cross section that provides mechanical support for sideswipe contact assemblies 70. Sideswipe contact assemblies 70 are electrically connected to the host computer. A spring member 71 is attached to contact support block 68.
Slide block 72 is a mechanical part having an L-shaped cross section and having a base portion 74 and an arm portion 76. Arm 76 has a boss 78 on the end opposite that of base portion 74. Arm portion 76 is fitted into a channel in the header assembly (not shown) and is movable with respect thereto. Slide block 72 is spring loaded to header assembly 61 such that its position when PC card 60 is not completely inserted is away from the plane of base portion 66 of header base member 64.
In operation, PC card 60 is inserted into the slot in header 61 in the direction of arrow 81. As PC card 60 is pushed in, it comes in contact with base portion 74 of slide block 72. As card 60 is pushed in further, it causes slide block 72 to move with it until card 60 comes in contact with base portion 66 of frame member 64. At this point, card 60 is fully inserted into header 61.
As slide block 72 is pushed in by card 60, it engages spring member 71 attached to contact support block 68. Spring member 71 is angled such that boss 78 of slide block 72 rides up on spring member 71 and thereby pushes contact support block 68 orthogonally towards the edge of PC card 60. As contact support block 68 moves toward PC card 60, sideswipe contact assemblies 70 engage PC card contacts 62 when card 60 is fully inserted. Sideswipe contact assemblies 70 are angled so that they can properly seat with card contacts 62 as card 60 is being inserted. Spring member 71 is sufficiently rigid that when boss 78 rides up on it, it deforms only a small amount. When card 60 is fully inserted and sideswipe contact assemblies 70 have made contact with card contacts 62, spring member 71 is deformed only enough to exert a force on contact support block 68 and thereby maintain positive electrical contact between card 60 and header assembly 61.
FIG. 5 shows a top view of the contact system of FIG. 4 with PC card 60 fully inserted into header assembly 61.
As PC card 60 is removed, slide block 72 moves along therewith since slide block is spring loaded to cause such movement. This movement of slide block 72 allows contact support block 68 to translate away from PC card and thereby disengage sideswipe contact assemblies 70.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged top view of sideswipe contact assembly 70, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged of front view of sideswipe contact assembly 70. Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 7, contact assembly 70 is a sandwich arrangement of an electrically conducting contact 82 between top standoff 84 and bottom standoff 86. Electrical conductor 82 is mounted on contact support block 68. Electrical signal lead 88 passes through contact support block 68 and electrically connects contact 82 with the remainder of header assembly 61 and ultimately to the host computer and the outside world. Conductor 82 is recessed from all external surfaces of standoffs 84 and 86. Thus, it is impossible for conductor 82 to come in contact with any portion of a PC card that is not specially designed to accommodate standoffs 84 and 86. Standoffs 84 and 86 would typically be fabricated in a molding process from an insulating organic material such as a polycarbonate. Contact 82 and lead 88 would typically be stamped form a metal such as phosphor bronze. Contact 82 may then be coated with a non-corrosive and highly conductive metal such as gold. Contact and 82 and lead 88 would typically be molded into the configuration as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The distance between the end of standoffs 84 and 86 and contact 82 should be at least 0.030 inches to insure complete electrical isolation in telephony applications.
FIG. 8 is an enlarged top view of a contact receptacle 62 on PC card 60, and FIG. 9 is an enlarged side view of a contact receptacle 62. Referring now to FIGS. 8 and 9, frame 90 of PC card 60 contains a pyramidal shaped receptacle 92. Receptacle 92 consist of top and bottom openings 94 and 96 having the same form factor as standoffs 84 and 86 of FIGS. 6 and 7. Electrical conductor 98 is positioned on the end of an insulating header 100 which protrudes partially into receptacle 92. Electric lead 102 connects conductor 98 with the electronics of PC card 61.
In operation, when PC card 60 is fully inserted, connector assemblies 70 fit completely into contact receptacles 62. This can occur since standoffs 84 and 86 fit into top and bottom openings 94 and 96. This in turn allows electrical contact 82 in sideswipe contact assembly 70 and electrical contact 98 in contact receptacle 62 to touch and make a positive electrical connection.
FIG. 10 is a top view of a non-sideswipe card in partially inserted into header assembly 61, and FIG. 11 is a top view of non-sideswipe card in fully inserted into header assembly 61. In operation non-sideswipe PC card 104 is inserted into the slot in header 61 in the direction of arrow 81. As non-sideswipe PC card 104 is pushed in, it comes in contact with base portion 74 of slide block 72. As non-sideswipe PC card 104 is pushed in further, it causes slide block 72 to move with it until non-sideswipe PC card 104 comes in contact with base portion 66 of frame member 64. At this point, non-sideswipe PC card 104 is fully inserted.
As slide block 72 is pushed in by non-sideswipe PC card 104, it engages spring member 71 attached to contact support block 68. As contact support block 68 moves downward, standoffs 84 and 86 of contact assembly 70 come in contact with the frame of non-sideswipe PC card 104. Since standoffs 84 and 86 are made of substantially non-deformable insulating materials, the movement of contact support block stops at this point. As boss 78 continues to move in, it deforms spring member 71 rather than riding up thereon as shown in FIG. 11. Standoffs 84 and 86 prevent contact 82 from making electrical contact with non-sideswipe PC card 104.
FIG. 12 illustrates a different aspect of the present invention. There may be situations where the mechanical configuration of FIG. 1 is desirable or at least unavoidable, but the risk of connecting tip and ring signals from telephone lines must still be avoided. FIG. 12 is a block diagram of an add in card for providing a modem or fax/modem function to a host computer. Referring now to FIG. 12, an add in card 120 has a standard 68 pin socket 122 on one end and an I/O socket 124 on the other end. Pins 125 and 126 of I/O socket 124 are connected by leads 127 and 128 to fax/modem 130. Leads 136 and 138 are also connected to pins 125 and 126 respectively and run to one side of relay 140. Leads 142 and 144 run from the other side of relay 140 to sideswipe connectors 146 and 148. Relay 140 consists of switches 150 and 152 which are controlled by a signal on control signal input 154. In this case, switches 150 and 152 remain closed in the absence of a signal on input 154, but open when a signal is imposed on input 154. A suitable relay is a model LH1523 optical relay made by AT&T. Control signal input 154 is connected to pin 156 of I/O socket 124. Pin 158 of I/O socket 124 is connected to a source of voltage 160 which is typically +5 volts.
I/O plug 162 is intended to mate with I/O socket 124 and is an integral part of the invention. The I/O connector consisting of socket 124 and plug 162 may connect add in card 120 to a variety of outside environments and may contain any number of pins consistent with the small physical dimensions of the add in card. A typical pin number is 14. However, if the outside environment is a telephone network, the only active pins will to those of a standard RJ-11 modular jack and two additional pins. Accordingly, I/O connector 162 includes pins 164 and 166 for mating with pins 125 and 126 of I/O socket 124 and communicating with an outside telephone network. Pins 168 and 170 in I/O connector 162 mate with pins 156 and 158 of I/O socket 124. Pins 168 and 170 are internally shorted by conductor 172.
If add in card 120 is inserted into a slot equipped with sideswipe contacts as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, it will communicate with the telephone world including 48 volt tip and ring signals through sideswipe connectors 146 and 148. If the user also has a second telephone line and plugs it into I/O connector 162, the telephone lines would be shorted and cause damage to the telephone network. However, according to the present invention, as soon as I/O connector 162 is plugged into socket 124, voltage source 160 is connected to control signal input 154 of relay 140 and switches 150 and 152 are opened. In this way, sideswipe contacts 146 and 148 are isolated from the remainder of the circuitry.
Alternatively, add in card 120 may be plugged into a host without sideswipe compatibility, and possibly the card guides in the host are made of metal. In this case, the sideswipe contacts are shorted to the chassis of the host. There would be no problem with this configuration unless the add in card were connected to the outside world through I/O socket 124 and I/O connector 162. However, if this occurred, the tip and ring signals of the telephone line or some other external signal would be shorted to the chassis of the host. Again the present invention avoids this risk by isolating sideswipe contacts 146 and 148 as soon as connector 162 is plugged into socket 124.
While the invention has shown the preferred embodiment based on mechanical principles of detection of the presence of a sideswipe card, it would be possible to create a system using an optical, magnetic or electrical detection scheme and an electric motor to move contact support block into position to have contact assemblies 70 mate with contact receptacles 62. Thus it will be appreciated that the preferred embodiment is subject to numerous adaptations and modifications without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described.

Increase eCommerce sales
Warrior Sports launched their Burn 9.0 lacrosse cleat with Jebbit micro-content. Their audience, high school and college athletes who play lacrosse and hockey, often ignores traditional advertising and prefers engagement with their favorite brands. The marketing team at Warrior knows this, and is constantly searching to find platforms that will appeal to their audience. To launch the cleats, Warrior used an interactive video campaign. Warrior distributed the campaign on owned social media, paid search, and display advertising. Shoppers who completed the campaign got a promo code for a free pair of socks with the purchase of the cleats.
Combining a reward (free socks) with visual content (an interactive video) gave Warrior a powerful tool to engage with their shoppers more effectively – and as a result, they converted at a higher rate.

Horizon Page, a Craigslist Alternative
Everyone knows about Craigslist, not just because there is a great chance you can meet a creep on there. They know about it because it's easy to use, free, doesn't contain ads, and gets mentioned on TV, online, etc. What people may not know, is that there are reliable, easy-to-use alternatives to the online person-to-person trade scheme of Craigslist. One of those alternatives, is the simply and beautifully designed HorizonPage
If you're looking for a job, you can find over 1,600 of them right now on HorizonPage. From New York to California, Seattle to Miami, you can find all manner of jobs and employment.
For Sale
Buy and sell whatever and wherever seems to be this sections motto. Antiques, cell phones, and musical instruments are among the items you can find for sale here. Take your time browsing, there are over 3,300 items for sale.
Not even included in the 'For Sale' section in the automotive listings. Cars, trucks, bikes and nearly 850 listings later, everyone should be able to find something that catches their eye both aesthetically and financially.
Looking for some love? How about someone to get coffee with? Need a kayak partner? You can find all of these and more in the 'Entertainment' section.
Cats, dogs, and birds, oh my! With almost 1,000 listings for pets, some precious, squeaking kitten will surely find a good home in your sock drawer!
Their largest section, 'Services' boasts nearly 5,000 listings from all manner of professions. It's a great opportunity to offer up you skills as well. Best part of that? It's free advertising for you! Sure there is competition within each subheading, but with such a large audience, it's a no-brainer that you should be listing your services or using other people's through Horizon Page.
Real Estate
If you're ready for the big move, either to buy or sell, rent or sublease, check out the 'Real Estate' section of the website and see what you can find. It's quite possible you will find something attractive to your tastes and price range. Likewise, someone may find the real estate you are offering as an appealing offer. Using HorizonPage for real estate needs really has zero downfalls.
HorizonPage offers many of the same classifications of listings that Craigslist offers, but does it in a way that is a little less overwhelming. It's possible that as the page grows, so will the listings and classifications, but for now, it remains to be a solid Craigslist alternative that offers ease-of-use and an ideal platform to push your services, pets, real estate, and entertainment desires.

In a major step toward ending the city's reliance on coal by 2025, the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday approved a far-reaching plan to amend its agreement with the Intermountain Power Project in Utah to convert it to renewable energy.
The 12-0 vote instructed the City Attorney's Office to prepare the final ordinances needed to amend the city's agreement with its partners at the IPP and begin the process to transform the coal-powered plant to allow use of natural gas, wind and solar power to generate the power needed for the city.
City officials said they need to begin the work to make the conversion as state and federal laws require all utilities to begin using renewable sources of energy to get off coal, which produces more pollution even as it is cheaper to use to generate power.
"There is a conflict between cost and the environment," said Councilman Paul Krekorian. "It is part of the struggle going on throughout the world as we get off a coal-based economy. We cannot look too narrowly at the cost…because it does not take into account the health costs throughout the world."

Emergency services were left reeling as they attempted to deal with the horrific aftermath of a dreadful suicide.
A man ended his life by tying his own head to a lamp post and then driving off at speed in his Honda Pilot. The 51 year-old man used a chain, attaching one end to the lamp post and then tying the other end round his neck.
When he hit the accelerator, the car shot forward, tearing his head from his body and leaving the car to continue down the street before it crashed into parked cars further down the street. As the car finally came to a halt, the headless corpse was thrown from the Honda onto the street.
At first the shocked passers-by in New York's Bronx district thought they had witnessed a dreadful accident. However, the police realised they were dealing with a suicide. A source in the NYPD said that they had been reviewing CCTV footage, and said: "It was particularly gruesome. He made sure he would be successful."
Police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the death, which happened at approximately 9.30pm on Monday evening.

text: Every family has its secrets - and its lies. The Lamberts have Uncle Harry, who fought in World War I but never came home from France. Each Lambert relative now clings to a different story: Harry died a hero's death on the battlefield. Harry married a sweet French girl. Harry drowned in the mud in Gallipoli. Harry was a coward who ran from the enemy. As his great-niece Julie struggles to sift fact from fiction, she finds how easy it is to rewrite the past. Gradually Harry comes to life: the awkward boy in turn-of-the-century Australia, the obedient son caring for his ageing mother, the 40-year-old bachelor, the reluctant soldier in France. Initially placid Harry's posted out of harm's way - but then he's called up to the front, and makes a decision that not only changes the course of his life, but changes the way he sees himself.
