Having problems with your Nikon COOLPIX L100 Digital Camera ?
I have the Nikon Coolpix L100 camera and have had it for several months without encountering a single problem. I got a message saying that the batteries were exhausted and it shut down. I replaced the batteries with the exact same type and brand as it was previously using (5 minutes earlier) and it won't turn on at all. Why would that be?
Answers :
I have the same problem with my Coolpix L100. On 27 December 2010 after taking a few shots with flash, using rechargable batteries for one year, it displayed in Hungarian that the batteries are depleted, but after I have recharged them, the camera did not start again anymore, displaying in continue that the batteries are depleted, and it turn off itself after a few seconds. I think that the problem is with the sensor of the camera that should measure the battery status, because even if I had new batteries it desplayed an icon with half battery but I never let it depleted totally so far. Now I am wondering if NIKON will offer free service for it as I have bought it just about 16 months ago in the Romanian DOMO market chain.

Beach parking costs rise
Enjoying the sun and surf won't cost a penny on the sandy shores this summer, but beach parking lots are another story — just ask the regulars at Nantasket Beach.
At the popular beach in Hull, the daily parking fee has more than doubled since last summer.
But fear not, thrifty beach-goers: There are cheaper ways to park at Nantasket. The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation now offers $35 parking passes that allow unlimited parking at Nantasket and other state beaches all year.
And here's another helpful tip: Massachusetts residents age 62 and older can sign up to receive a free senior pass for year-round free parking at state beaches — even if they're not the person driving.
The ParksPass program and the senior passes have been around for years, but are new at Nantasket, according to Wendy Fox, spokeswoman for the DCR. The programs have also been extended to Nahant Beach on the North Shore, she said.
With the increase in the daily parking fee, the full-year pass is a lot more attractive to sun worshipers who are planning frequent trips to state beaches. At Nantasket, the fee increased to $7 from $3 in August 2009, and the rate for seniors doubled, to $4.
The parking fees at Nantasket were raised to reimburse the town of Hull for emergency police and ambulance services that it provides at the beach, as well for as some maintenance costs, said Fox. (Since last August, $147,571 has been collected, she said.)
"There were some complaints/concerns in the early days or weeks of the increase last year,'' said Fox, in an e-mail. "But since then, complaints have been rare. It appears that people who visit that beach a lot are buying a ParksPass.''
And in case you're wondering, the parking rates will probably hold steady for a while.
"No increases are planned or being talked about,'' said Fox.
ParksPass tags cost $35 for Massachusetts residents and $45 for out-of-staters. A second vehicle per family can be added for $15. They're valid from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31; during that time, pass holders get unlimited daytime parking at DCR parks and beaches that charge parking fees, which generally range from $2 to $7 a day.
The passes are good for parking at several summertime spots in Southeastern Massachusetts, such as Borderland State Park in Easton (where parking is $2), as well as College Pond in Myles Standish State Forest and Watson Pond in Taunton (where parking is $5). The pass also saves $7 in parking fees at seaside destinations such as Demarest Lloyd State Park in Dartmouth, Horseneck Beach in Westport, South Cape Beach in Mashpee, and Scusset Beach in Sandwich.
ParksPasses are available for purchase at state parks and beaches, and can be requested by calling 617-626-4969 (credit cards, but not debit cards, are accepted) or by sending a check to: Massachusetts ParksPass Program, Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of State Parks, 251 Causeway St., Suite 900, Boston MA 02114.
Be sure to include the vehicle's license-plate number and specify whether it's a resident or nonresident ParksPass, or a "second car'' sticker.
Senior passes are available at all state parks and beaches that charge a parking fee.

In many places throughout this great and sweltering nation, the thermometer now sits at 100 degrees or higher. Glands that normally don't sweat are currently sweating. The eight portable fans propped up in your cubicle no longer serve any function. Before you could collect the change from your mid-afternoon popsicle purchase, the whole thing melted in your hand, leaving behind a forlorn stick and a hand that is now cold and orange-flavored.
If I may quote Kool & the Gang, which I enjoy doing frequently: "It's too hot. Too hot. Too hot, lady."
So what could be better on a weekend like this than to stay inside where it's air-conditioned and watch movies about other people perspiring? (That's assuming you have power, of course, which is an assumption. If you don't, you can't watch movies because: a. no electricity; b. laptop battery is depleted; or c. you've already gone blind with rage over your power company's inability to just FIX IT. Not that I know anything about this.)
Sorry, back to the point: Here's a list of 10 great movies about unbearable heat, a few of which were suggested by Celebritology readers who clearly haven't let the inhumane temperatures affect their ability to recall excellent films.
"The Long Hot Summer" (1958)
The title pretty much says it all. But so does the image of a smoldering Paul Newman — who plays a guy who drifts into a Mississippi town and falls in love with Joanne Woodward — without a shirt. (Suggested by loyal Celebritology reader epjd.)
"In the Heat of the Night" (1967)
Another classic set in steamy Mississippi, it won the Academy Award for best picture and delivered Sidney Poitier's memorable insistence that we call him Mr. Tibbs. "Rod Steiger at his best," says reader Russ Bradley.
"Off the Map" (2003)
A gem of an indie directed by Campbell Scott, starring Sam Elliott and Joan Allen, and set in the palpably hot and gorgeous middle-of-nowhere, New Mexico.
"Y Tu Mamá También" (2001)
That little threesome that Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson and Blake Lively have got going in "Savages"? It has nothin' on the sultry, NC-17 rated trio of Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna and Maribel Verdu in this beautifully shot breakout from Alfonso Cuaron.
"A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951) and/or "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958)
Both are adaptations of Tennessee Williams plays. Both were released in the 1950s. Both feature fine actors parading around in skimpy clothes in an attempt to beat the Southern heat. Instead of choosing which one to include on the list, I slapped them together as one humid, uber-dramatic double feature. (Thanks to Beth Caputo for the "Hot Tin Roof" recommendation.)
"Biloxi Blues" (1988)
"This is like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take this kinda hot." You got that right, Matthew Broderick. (Thank you, Michele Moore-Hirata, for reminding me how much I love this movie.)
"Body Heat" (1981)
Kathleen Turner was at her sexiest in Lawrence Kasdan's neo-noir libido elevator, which treated moviegoers to the sight of Turner and William Hurt taking a bath in a tub filled with ice cubes. Oh, and having lots of sex. (Props to Beth Caputo and td_in_baltimore for noting this one.)
"The Help" (2011)
If you missed last summer's box office hit about the civil rights movement and Bryce Dallas Howard eating the world's grossest piece of pie, now is the chance to luxuriate in its fine performances and many shots of fans waving on hot summer days.
"Rambling Rose" (1991)
I absolutely adore this movie, which features a magical, fragile Laura Dern as a loosey-goosey Southern girl whose milkshake brings all the boys to the Hillyer family's yard. Problem is it's the 1930s, and Mr. Hillyer (Robert Duvall), for whom Dern's Rose carries an inappropriate torch, is not at all down with the Kelis lifestyle.
"Do the Right Thing" (1989)
This definitive Spike Lee joint is, to my mind, the most effective depiction of summer's oppressive heat ever captured on film. I need a cold cloth on my forehead just thinking about it.
This is obviously not a definitive list. What else belongs on it? Post a comment to suggest more summer-heat movies worth watching this weekend, and thanks to all the readers who e-mailed or posted on the Celebritology Facebook page with suggestions.

Any 350+ guys that reach goal weight?
phillip.taylor replied to fflintstone's topic in Men's IssuesI was 448 the day of surgery. My goal, at 6'2", was 225. I got down to 228 in just under 2 years. I figured I'd loose those last 3 pounds by riding a bike. I worked my way up to about 30 miles+ a week over the next few months and gained 8 pounds(of muscle I presume). I have maintained for the past year from 230 to 236, up and down. I can't seem to get to my first goal no matter what I do. I'm happy where I'm at.

I've been bad...
phillip.taylor replied to delilahmchaggis's topic in SocializeI work a rotating 12 hr shift, so coffee is a must for me. I drink about a pot or so a day. I just put a touch of splenda in mine or plain black. No ill effects.
vitacost.com, nutrition website.
I like the Power Crunch bars. I get them from vitacost. Its the closest thing to a kit kat as far as I can remember.
Frozen Yogurt?
phillip.taylor replied to Kjo's topic in SocializeI make it at work all the time. I mix fruit flavored greek yogurt, splenda and a little skim milk, then stir in liquid nitrogen. Makes it in about 1 minute and tastes great. Kinda tough if you don't have half a million gallons of liquid nitrogen on hand. lol

Do you drink regular coffee postop?
phillip.taylor replied to Becca52's topic in SocializeI stopped drinking coffee for the first 3-4 months post-op. I started with a cup or two per day after that. Now I'm back to a pot or two a day. I LOVE COFFEE...
Does bread get any better?
phillip.taylor replied to BigB5SRT8's topic in Post-op Gastric BypassI haven't had the first bite of bread in over 2 years, along with pasta and soda. I think I've forgotten what they taste like.
phillip.taylor replied to tntom's topic in Post-op Gastric BypassI was a ribeye addict before my bypass. Now, I hardly touch beef. It's just too much trouble to chew it enough. I stick with chicken, ground meat and venison for my meat intake. The majority of my diet is greek yougurt. faa-yeah
Protein bars?
phillip.taylor replied to Heidimell's topic in SocializePower crunch bars. Very reminicent of Kit Kat. 205 cals and 13 grams of protein. This is my typical breakfast at work.
How much food?
phillip.taylor replied to mswanson502's topic in Post-op Gastric BypassIt varies, for me, depending on what I'm eating. I eat around a 1/2 cup or so per meal, a little more with soupier foods like chili. I find with chicken or fish, around 3oz or so, with a little bit of a side dish is about it. The biggest part is to recognize you full trigger and eat slowly, which in over two years, I still haven't mastered. Sometimes eating dense foods like beef is a chore, so I tend to stay away from it unless it's braised really tender. Greek yogurt mixed with cookies and cream protien powder is about 75% of my diet because it's easy to eat and protien packed.
What toy are you getting for reaching your goal weight?
phillip.taylor replied to fflintstone's topic in Men's IssuesWhen I lost my first 100lbs, I bought myself a brand new pair of $500 Lucchese full quill ostrich dress boots. I kind of wish I'd waited because after another 120lbs down, they're a little loose on me.
Weight gain with heavy exercise?
phillip.taylor posted a topic in SocializeI'm going on 2 years out form my RNY and have lost 220lbs. I've been doing moderate exercise the whole time, but recently I've kicked it up and started riding a bike and doing lots of pushups. In the past 2 months, I've been averaging about 30+ miles per week on the bike and I've gained 6 lbs... I know I should expect some muscle weight gain, but this seems like a lot to me. My diet hasn't changed much. I've getting in around 60-100 grams of protein daily and about 1000-1200 calories. I feel great, but I was just 3 lbs from my goal weight and now I'm gaining. Is this much weight gain normal??
regular coffee
phillip.taylor replied to kwilsokl's topic in SocializeI gave up coffee for the first 3 months or so, then only a cup or two a day. It'll be two years in August and I drink at least a pot per day. I haven't had any problems with ulcers or anything else coffee related. I know I shouldn't drink so much, but I figure I've given up a lot in life to loose 220 lbs, so I'm not giving up my coffee. Besides, I don't think I could function working shift work without my bean juice.
What's for breakfast/lunch?
phillip.taylor replied to Dees's topic in SocializeBreakfast was a pot of coffee, then a shake. Had a tablespoon of peanut butter and a few banana chips for a snack around 9. Lunch was about a half cup of chicken salad, no crackers, they were stale. A handfull of pistachios at 2 and had another half cup of chicken salad a little bit ago. And another pot of coffee during the day...I like my coffee. I know my shake has around 66 grams of protein. I don't really keep track of it as well as I should anymore.

Sheriff candidate Luke NaThalang wants to bring fresh, cooperative, community approach to county department
FORT WAYNE—Luke NaThalang is not your typical guy. In an age where the norm is to focus on personal advancement above all else, whether it be in business or politics, NaThalang's personal mantra is devotion to others. He's active in the community, serving a number of organizations in various capacities, including vice president of the Burn Council, president of the Concordia Lutheran High School Band Boosters and as a mentor for Big Brothers/Big Sisters—among other things. And, he is active in his church, Concordia Lutheran, where he serves on the Endowment Board. Amidst all that, he finds time to be an attentive father and husband, attending school functions, even working at a number of them, and working for his wife's family business, Armstrong Flowers, serving as office and delivery manager. Oh yes, and he's a well-respect, highly-credentialed 29-year veteran of the Indiana State Police, serving as acting supervisor of the North Zone Motorcycle Squad.
People who know NaThalang say he's not content to do "business as usual," but as a true community servant he is always working to find and implement a better way to do things. Now he's set to bring that commitment, experience, education and can do attitude to the political arena as he runs for the office of Allen County Sheriff in a rare contested Republican primary set for May. And, if he's elected sheriff, NaThalang says it will not be "business as usual."
For example, NaThalang says the Sheriff's Department needs to be more active in working to solve community problems. While many people—including a lot of people in law enforcement—see the city and county as two very separate entities, NaThalang is quick to point out that Fort Wayne is major part of the county and that the problems of Fort Wayne are the problems of Allen County.
"Every time there's something in the news, it's always 'the highest homicide rate in Allen County," said NaThalang, pointing out that "like it or not," the Sheriff's Department also is responsible for dealing with crime in the city.
"To me, we've got to work as one entity to solve these homicides,"he said. "I want to share the responsibility; I want to share the resources, basically solve these problems we have together."
While some might point out that the Sheriff's Department and Fort Wayne Police Department occasionally work together, contributing task forces and other high profile official projects, NaThalang said he wants to go beyond the current attitude of different law enforcement agencies sitting back and dispassionately waiting to be invited to help. He said he wants to be more proactive and offer to share resources at every practical turn without having to be asked. In his duties with the Indiana State Police, he's already formed productive relationships with members of area law enforcement agencies including the Allen County Sheriff's Department, which he hopes to head, and the Fort Wayne Police Department. NaThalang said as sheriff, he can help foster even more such productive relationships and help focus collective resources on solving problems—such as last year's rash of homicides. And, he said, it's not about making headlines and personal advancement.
"We don't care who gets credit," said NaThalang of himself and supporters. "All we care about is getting the job done. We'll work with you. We'll do whatever it takes to solve the problem."
NaThalang's attitude about not doing "business as usual" also extends to his overall approach to public safety. He said enforcement is not the only aspect of keep the community secure. In fact, he said, prevention is a key element of a safe, productive community with a real future. As a father, soon to be grandfather and man who works with young people in the community including at school and church and as a mentor with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, NaThalang said he knows the value of getting to young people early—so that they don't end up in the system.
"Throwing people in jail is not the answer. I want to start working with kids before they get into trouble," he said.
Again, NaThalang emphasized the importance of a concerted effort to solve the problem. He said there were a number of organizations—such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters—in the community that could contribute to an effort to reach young people before they get into trouble.
"I want to work with the community. I want to use the resources we have in the county to address the problem," said NaThalang.
And, he's willing to devotes some resources of the Sheriff's Department to addressing the problem. He said the county employs 124 law enforcement officers and 200 confinement officers. NaThalang said he said he like to see each of those officers spend an hour a day during various periods of time going into schools working with young people on a constructive, preventative basis. The payoff, he said, would be huge future dividends for the community, the state and the nation.
"It's been shown that you will get results," said NaThalang. "Keep these kids on track and you won't have to build more jails."
Another key element to effective law enforcement and crime prevention is being able to work with a community that is growing more diverse every day. Growing up in Thailand early in life, NaThalang said racial prejudice was unheard of—in part because everyone was Thai. But, it taught him early that people are people and gave him the heart to deal with people of all types, including people of different races, religious and ethnic backgrounds. Truly effective law enforcement agencies, he said need to be willing to reach out to those various communities. As for the local diversity, NaThalang said "I'm more than qualified to deal with that."
The bottom line is NaThalang said he wants to see the Sheriff's Department operate on a more proactive stance.
"Too many times, law enforcement tends to be reactive and we're losing the game with that approach," he said. "What I want to bring into the department is a fresh new perspective. But, it's not about me. I've got nothing to prove. It's about working with the community."

One of the blogs that I read, The Educators' Spin on It, has series going about parenting with purpose. I was very interested in reading an idea that comes from Danielle – she set out to create 52 new experiences for her children – one for every week of the year. While I am not that ambitious, this post made me think about making memories that last and about all the new things. big and small, we've been doing here lately. Here are some snapshots from the past couple of weeks:
Easter was a lot of fun with two parties and two egg hunts. Anna had a blast playing with her school friends.
We celebrated with big pomp 7th birthday of Anna's favorite object – her cuddle blanket. I assume blankie is seven, because some of her classmates are turning 7 this year. Anna made invitations and party favors (crowns) for this party.
She and papa went to Exploratorium in San Francisco. According to her, it was fun, fun and you wouldn't believe what you missed!
She loves cooking and was very proud to cook French toast almost by herself. I only needed to help her get things from high places. Next step – clean after herself too
What new things have been happening in your house lately?

Disclaimer: I don't own Aida
"Hey Mereb," Aida said
Mereb bowed.
"Princess," he said.
She rolled her eyes.
"The name is Aida," he said, "You are my friend. I may be a princess but you are my friend. Don't ever bow again. That puts you at a lesser level then I am. In my opinion you're just as good as I am."
"You really think so?"
"Of course. Are you going to be at the dance tonight?"
"I can't," he said, "I don't have a partner and I haven't been invited"
"I'm inviting you," she said, "Come with me. I will be your partner"
"Thank you prin- Aida," he said
"That's more like it," she told him.

Michael Jackson's Last Rehearsal Video ended on a high spirited note that night. Sources tell TechBanyan that Michael Jackson was spry, agile, and quite excited about his upcoming tour in London. In fact his spins and moon walk sent shivers down the spine of those few who were watching it. Michael had still retained his magic.
The concert promoter tells us that after practicing that night, Michael walked back to his car and he put his arms around Randy Philips, who was the promoter of these concerts. That night Michael told Randy – Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Together we are going to bring the house down. I know I can do this.
This was just a day before. We all know what after the next day. The untimely death of King of Pop sent tremors all over the world as his fans looked at it in disbelief. I have included the Michael Jackson's last video below, check it out and tell me how you like it:

Well, perhaps you had to be there. Your outrage is palpable, and I
respect that, but I don't see the investigation that I feel should
accompany it. You give me far too much credit in presuming my having
control of the system. The entire system was flawed and as Deming liked
to say, "People will only do the best they can."
I would have liked you to ask the questions that would have produced these
The time was the 1970s and 80s, the industry was the go-go
technology/systems arena - all venture capital based. Annual growth rates
were expected to be 50+% per annum. This sales job was the hardest of all
sales work - "Big Ticket" systems sales where the sales cycle was 9 - 18
months and it took 6 - 9 months to see if you could produce. Venture
capital backed firms driving towards an IPO (Initial Public Offering)
rarely train and buy their talent "ready-made," and hand you your head in
your hands in 3 or 4 quarters of non/poor performance.
Perhaps you've been a systems peddlar in this time and place and so I'm
carrying coals to Newcastle, but that's not the feeling that I get.
Quality systems peddlers were a scarce commodity - Your industry, much
less your firm, was exploding in regional coverage and revenue production,
the pay at par quota was high (and so attracted many that should have been
in other lines of work). All this conspired with the lag in being able to
identify productivity to create a massive inhaling of recruits.
You had to be able to hold a half million sale together and be at as ease
in the boardroom to the shop floor. Few could do and the attrition was
high. I urge you to reserve "treacherous" for the all too frequent
inhaling of recruits as "bushbeaters" (that was the term used) to flush
and develop a prospect only to have a seasoned salesman step in and take
over the sale. The recruits in these cases certainly never made quota,
never came close to comp at par quota, never knew what they did "wrong,"
were never trained, and were burned out to quit or be fired. Nearly as
treacherous was the skewing of total comp such that the base pay was very
low with quota comp topping off the par comp - low/non-performers dangled
along on a financial choke chain until they sold or left.
>This is a case where it would have been useful for the sales manager to
>report to a manager just like him.
He wasn't nearly as forgiving as I. Fail to make your numbers and you
Like it or not, my sales management was seen as enlightened, we made our
numbers, grew a solid group of sales performers, trained where little
training existed, and set realistic quota to comp - a success in light of
the limitations. Had I control of the entire system, I'd have done
something else.

Afghan-bound GIs Surge Ahead of Gear
May 08, 2009
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan -- Thousands of U.S. troops are being rushed to Afghanistan without the equipment they will need to fight an emboldened Taliban, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and military officials said Thursday.
The equipment delay is "a considerable concern," Gates said as he toured a dusty forward base in south Afghanistan where some 200 newly deployed Marines and sailors are arriving each day as part of the buildup of 21,000 new U.S. troops.
Marines who arrived in southern Afghanistan this week mark the vanguard of the expansion Obama has ordered to reverse a war his commanders say they are not winning. Pentagon officials said the initial Marine units are small advance parties, to be followed by much larger waves of forces in the coming weeks. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to describe troop movements.
"I heard this on several occasions today, that the equipment is coming in behind the troops and is not here and available for them when they arrive," Gates said at a news conference Thursday night in Kabul before a fly-around through bases in Afghanistan.
Gates attributed the delays to "the amount of equipment that has to be brought in and, frankly, the relatively limited infrastructure in terms of airfields and so on of how to get it in here."
Despite concerns about pressing U.S. military needs in Iraq and insurgents' interference with supply lines, the real problem has been "more a logistical challenge than it is anything else," Gates said. He promised to pursue the problem after he returns to Washington on Saturday.
The scope of the equipment shortage was not immediately clear. One Marine corporal at Camp Leatherneck told Gates during a 15-minute town-hall meeting in sweltering heat that he needed more communications equipment.
The Pentagon has already been grappling with how to beef up mine-resistant patrol trucks that have shown success in Iraq but are not resilient enough to withstand Afghanistan's hilly and rugged terrain.
The equipment shortage leaves U.S. troops vulnerable as the Taliban and other extremist groups are ramping up attacks with Afghanistan national elections approaching.
In a chilling reminder of the risks U.S. troops face, Gates said casualties among American, Afghanistan and other international security forces are up 75 percent since the beginning of the year.
Brig. Gen. John Nicholson, commander of military forces in Afghanistan's southern region, predicted a surge of violence through the Aug. 20 elections. But Nicholson said he expects the attacks will cease once the Taliban understands that they cannot drive away U.S. and international forces.
"There will be an increase in violence, initially, because the enemy will not easily give up their hold on the population," Nicholson told reporters at Camp Leatherneck. "But this will be a spike, not a continuous upwards slope."
The United States is sending 21,000 troops to add to the 38,000 already in place.
Taliban forces show few signs of backing down as the U.S. ramps up its forces - underscored by the confrontation with American troops this week in the western Farah Province that resulted in the deaths of dozens of Afghan civilians.
The incident, still under investigation by U.S. and Afghan authorities, came just days before Gates flew to Afghanistan, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai met in Washington with President Barack Obama and other top U.S. officials as well as Pakistani leaders.
At Leatherneck, a Marine asked Gates if U.S. troops in Afghanistan might be sent into Pakistan for peacekeeping missions. Hours later, in Kabul, an Afghan reporter asked a similar question.
In both cases, Gates said no.
"I do not anticipate at all there will be American troops going into Pakistan from Afghanistan to deal with this problem," Gates said.
The time is coming when those who kill you will think they are offering service to God. Jesus - (John 16.2) A penny saved is a government oversight.
I love inter-service rivalry
and I will give members, past and present, of other services a lot of shit, but I can pretty much guarantee those Marines don't give a fuck about all the cool gear and as long as they have boots and ammo, they're good to go.

An IDF patrol vehicle sustained some damage due to Syrian gunfire Monday. No injuries were reported.
The jeep was hit during a routine Golani patrol of the border. According to available details, the incident took place at 8:30 pm. The IDF filed an official grievance with UNIFIL.
It is believed that the fire was discharged as part of clashes between Syrian security forces and rebels.
The IDF stressed that it is highly unlikely that the Israeli military vehicle was the target.
Moments after the gunfire incident was reported, opposition sources in Quneitra, near the Syrian border, reported that two people were killed in the village of Beer Ajam when they were trying to extract civilians under siege by Assad's forces.
The opposition source stressed that the clash took place within the demilitarized buffer zone between the two countries.
The incident followed a similar one that took place on Saturday, when three Syrian tanks, in pursuit of rebel forces, entered the demilitarized zone in the Golan Heights, near the Israel-Syria border. The IDF filed an official complaint with UNIFIL, as well as raised the level of alert in the sector.
IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz toured the Golan Heights on Sunday, following the incident.
Gantz, who was accompanied by senior GOC Northern Command officers, was reportedly able to look across the border and see the clashes between Syrian troops and rebel forces.
The past several months have seen several incidents of Syria mortar fire — fired as part of the bloody uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad — landing either near the border or in the Golan Heights.

Aeroplanes have computer that are fed with information of location and path | Pilotless planes also have the systems fed with information of location and pathhttp://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=t0e3c-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1608363716&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr
Earth is divided into various regions by imaginary lines. Horizontal lines are called Longitudes. Vertical lines are called Latitudes. Based on these lines, any region on the Earth can be identified easily. This thing can be understood much more clearly by observing the Atlas. There will be super fast computers in Aeroplanes and Rockets. Their memories are already fed with identification of various airports and destinations based on the latitudes and longitudes. Based on them, information is stored in their database about location of various places.
In Aeroplanes with pilots also, the information regarding the height, speed it has to go, the direction it has to follow etc are given to the pilot by the computer system only. In case of jetplanes and rockets which don't have pilot, the path they have to move is fed into their computers. They follow the path based on the information given by the computer in them. The movement of them is registered into the computers completely. Managing officials on the Earth control operation of moving rockets through computers by giving various commands to the computers in them. All this is the wonderful magic of latest technological advancement.

A few weeks ago, I was a keynote speaker at the Games for Health conference in Amsterdam. I talked about social games, crowdsourcing in medicine and science and also about the importance of including health gaming in medical education. I have to say I had a great time there, saw many promising innovations and as a lover of video games, I tried many projects and gadgets myself.
Projects and ideas I came across there:
Figurerunning: draw figures on the map when running by using their smartphone application.
Use your bike and run or walk around in the virtual world.
Medsim: a birth simulation.
I'm pretty sure I'll be at Games for Health 2012 as well! See you there!

Roozonline – Assembly of Experts and Expediency Council chairman Hashemi Rafsanjani announced for the first time that he has reduced relations with the Islamic Republic supreme leader seyed Ali Khamenei. He also criticized Khamenei for his "silence toward the elimination of the clergy" and said that Mahmoud "Ahmadinejad has put the regime's achievements on sale."
Less than two weeks ago, Rafsanjani's office released a letter response to Vatan Emrooz daily – close to Mehrdad Bazrpash, an official in the Ahmadinejad administration. Media networks close to the administration claimed that the letter was released without the knowledge of the Assembly of Experts chairman. But in an interview with the "Modiriyat Ertebatat" ("Information Management") journal, Rafsanjani reiterated his previous positions, criticized ayatollah Khamenei for "silence toward the elimination of the clergy," and said that he had reduced relations with the supreme leader of the Islamic regime.
Rafsanjani also said, "I prefer to retire from politics," but "I fear that it would have negative political implications and be viewed as a political tantrum." Media outlets close to the administration and the Islamic Passdaran Revolutionary Guards Corps seized on the first part of Rafsanjani's remark, while ignoring the second part.
According to ILNA, Rafsanjani said in the interview, "Unfortunately, during the debates, Mr. Ahmadinejad had made claims that were untrue. The true supporters of the regime expected a reaction from the [supreme] leader, because it wasn't just about me. In that debate you saw a kind of confrontation with the clergy. Under the guise of opposing me, Mr. Khatami, Mr. Nategh-Nouri, and Mr. Karoubi, who were presidents and Majlis speakers, [Ahmadinejad] put all of the regime's achievements on sale and implied that the clergy are incompetent in governing the country."
Rafsanjani then blamed ayatollah Khamanei's silence as the reason for writing his famous letter three days before last year's election. He said, "At the Imam's memorial I told him [Ahmadinejad], you have said incomplete things. I prefer that you correct them; otherwise I have to respond. I waited a few days and didn't hear anything. Afterward I prepared a letter, because somebody had to respond to those claims."
Rafsanjani said, "In the remaining time, I sent the letter to the supreme leader but unfortunately the letter hadn't reached him during the two-hour window," adding, "Because I didn't receive an answer, I published the letter in the final moments before leaving [to see the supreme leader]. When I arrived there, the leader said, 'I was reading your letter on the computer,' meaning that he still hadn't seen the original letter, even after it was published. I asked, 'What do you think?' He said, 'I have no comments on the content, but want to mention one thing, that Mr. Ahmadinejad did not accuse you of corruption but only talked about your son.' I said, 'The atmosphere was such that even though he didn't name me, everything was pointed at me.' He said, 'I really don't have a comment on the content of the letter, but if I were you, I would have published it after the election.'"
In the interview, Rafsanjani also said, "Before, we had regular, definite weekly meetings. As the amount of work has decreased, we now meet once every other week, usually lasting about two hours. If things come up in between our meetings, we speak on the phone or in person."

PITTSFIELD, Mass. (AP/WWLP) — Former Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis is scheduled to appear in Pittsfield this week to speak about policing in the modern age.
Davis is expected to deliver a talk entitled Urban Terrorism and the Boston Marathon Bombings at Berkshire Community College on Friday. He will present issues of relevance to policing and speak about the importance of planning and innovation in police work.
He gained national attention in the hunt for the suspects in the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. He stepped down in September after seven years in Boston.
Davis is appearing as part of the Mona Sherman Lecture series.
In April, Davis was at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to review the school and town's handling of the so-called Blarney Blowout parties where dozens of students were arrested and four police officers were injured.

Dumping my (now ex) boyfriend three years ago was, at the time, the right decision to make. We were dating for 10 months when I decided to travel to Stuttgart, Germany to work and live there for nine months, and we both decided that ending what we had was quite a stupid thing. But let's be honest. It wasn't.
We were both 19, and we were in what we can call of the "honeymoon phase" - just without the wedding and the vows. We were really happy and although he had a personality that resembles my father's, he was a pretty decent guy. Apart of being my long time crush and being quite a gentleman, he was not perfect. And neither was I.
I left to Germany a week before my 19th birthday, and the changes started almost immediately. We started to barely talk or having any kind of contact whatsoever. so it is normal that, when starting to meeting new people, both of us would look for love in the wrong places. And when that happened, I did what I promised never to do: breaking up over a text message.
I went on Skype on the night of our one year anniversary, not to saying that I was truly happy that we were together and leave an "Happy 1st Year for Us, Baby!" but to leave him a break-up text. I regret it every day.
He was and is one of the most important people of my life and only now, more than three exact years after, we decided to talk about it and meet up and explain everything to each other. Maybe because we began to realize that being mad and hating each other's guts has no point at this moment (he is in a fully committed relationship ATM) and what is past belongs in there, or maybe the truth came out while exchanging messages one afternoon. We just deeply miss each other.
It's normal to miss someone you loved. It's normal to hate someone you loved, too. But don't life, feelings and experiences teach us that forgiving and forgetting can be the best medicine for an aching soul and broken heart? Isn't it easier to close a chapter of your life that once made you laugh and dream, cry and feel desperate than to leave it open and make your heart bleed at every exchanged message?
In the words of L. Ron Hubbard: "Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you make your tomorrow."

Oahu's West side
Waianae Travel Blog› entry 6 of 17 › view all entries
September 16th, 2007 – by: mahoney
After we left Zippy's we drove off of Hawaii Highway 1 (there are only 3) onto Farrington Hwy, which is also known as Highway 93. This would lead us around the western edge of the island. The views along this route are spectacular and mostly free of the congested commercialization that is found in Waikiki.
We drove through several beach areas such as Tracks Beach Park, Nanakuli Beach Park, Ulehawa Beach Park, Maili Beach Park and others.
We later found out that most of these tents belonged to squatters, mostly Samoans who just choose not to own a home, or work for that matter. They feel that the islands belong to them so they just live wherever they choose to. The government clears them out a couple times a year, but they just return the next day. We noticed several had power generators and even satellite dishes.
We drove as far as the road would allow us, it dead ended at a dirt road near a military establishment. The views were incredible as you can tell from the photos. We spent almost 2 hours just enjoying the area. This is the Hawaii we wanted to see, completely undisturbed.

Chat: Douglas County Commission Candidate Clenece Hills chats about primary election
Working closely with the city of Lawrence and the Lawrence-Douglas County Chamber of Commerce is an important element in luring new businesses and industries to the area, said Grant Eichhorn, a 2nd District candidate for the Douglas County Commission.
Eichhorn talked about economic development, budgeting and other issues during a 30-minute online chat Thursday on the Journal-World's Web site, LJWorld.com.
When it comes to budgeting matters, Eichhorn said, his priorities would be providing infrastructure and safety, cutting waste and scrutinizing payroll and benefits.
"It gets tougher after that," he said.
The Journal-World intends to have other candidates in for online chats. So far two other commission candidate chats have been scheduled for this month. Jim Flory, a Republican running for the 3rd District seat, will be online at 2 p.m. July 14. Clenece Hills, a Democratic 3rd District candidate, will chat at 11 a.m. July 28.
Anyone wanting to submit a question in advance can go online to www.LJWorld.com/chats.

By: Spacelab Research Staff
Cleverly disguising it within their newly launched Coachella Digital zine, lies the message that every Coachella Festival freak loves to hear but rarely gets without finding it's a rumor. They've added more acts to the 2009 show.
The additions include Devendra Banhart, The Chemical Brothers, The Orb, Etienne de Crecy, and Murder City Devils as new mainstage acts. They were all late announcements due to last minute issues like applying for Visas, stage show issues, and, well, one of the Chemical Brothers was in Australia and apparently unable to confirm a date. Serious outback time.
The Dome, which hosts DJ acts act Coachella, will be flying high with the addition of Flying Lotus, The Bomb Squad (from Public Enemy fame), Daedelus, Kode 9, The Professionals, 6Blocc, Daddy Kev & Nocando, Gaslamp Killer vs. DLX, Ras G & Smiyam, and MC Kemst.
Check out the festival overview for a complete line up.

Newsflash: Staying On Campus In Summer Is Cool!
NEWSFLASH: Just because school is out does not mean there aren't awesome things happening on your college campus! Staying on campus during the summer is a terrific way to explore your school in new ways. You can maintain your independence and have a little vacation at the same time. Who knows? Maybe you'll learn something too…
Find a Summer Sublet
If you live in the dorms during the school year, chances are you won't be able to reside there in the summer. Even if you can, consider finding a summer sublet off campus. It will probably be on the less expensive side. Depending on your campus and town layout, this could be a great opportunity to sample living off campus.
Take a Class
Yeah, the last thing you want to do in the summer is attend more school. BUT, if you need a couple credits here or there, it can't hurt to get those out of the way in the summer. Taking one or two classes at a time will be easier than a huge course load in the fall. Make it a fun class if you want!
Take Advantage of School Resources
A lot of colleges have museums and galleries on campus that are free (or almost free) for students. Universities are wonderful homes for great artwork and science facilities for obvious reasons – they want their students to have access to the best information!
Check out Summer Events in Town
Explore your college town as though you were a local, and not just a student! Summer is prime time for art and food festivals; outdoor movie screenings; restaurant deals; and more! Don't be a stranger.
Research Opportunities
Many schools offer research opportunities to undergraduate students wishing to gain hands-on experience in their field of study. This is an excellent time to focus on research since you won't have other classes and homework on your mind. Working with professors and grad students will give you great insight into your field and lessons for your future career. These people will more than likely help you make connections for post-graduation.
Try to plan on staying at your campus during the summer with some friends. Gather a group that inspires you or encourages you to try new things and get creative. The beauty of the season is that you've got time to apply what you've learned at school to your own projects. Make connections!

7 College Campus Stereotypes
I bet you all the spare change on my desk that when you get to college, you will come across at least five of the seven stereotypes I'm about to explore.
Nobody likes to be grouped into a stereotype, but sometimes, the truth just speaks for itself, and definitely in the case of a college campus. I'm not sure if it's something in the soft serve of the dorm cafeterias or what, but there's something about a college campus that universally produces these stereotypes in sleeper cells who, before entering college, showed little to no sign of the following stereotypes until after they fully move into their dorms and say 'goodbye' to their parents:
1. Library Sleepover Guy/Girl
This character is the one who strangely prefers the claustrophobic space under a desk in the university library over the down comfortable and padded mattress of their own bed. Why would this be? Good question, and it's fairly difficult to answer, coming from a pro-bed disposition, but I believe it has something to do with the cozy atmosphere of a library, especially if you've been in there for hours. The soft whispers, the fall-leaf crinkle of pages turning, the hypnotic melody of your peers typing term papers, the asbestos in the walls, you know. It's certainly enough to get you to doze off–not to mention that you've been in there for 29 hours already and have just gone mad and are confusing the library for your bedroom.
2. Guy Who says "Work hard; play hard" Way Too Often
This phrase should've burnt out with the 80s, but unfortunately, it's going strong among a small population. This person likes to, well, work hard, and then play hard. They're usually the ones somehow able to function with a level 5 hangover. Allowing them to, you know, workhardplayhard.
3. Mr./Ms. Moocher
Whether it's another precious Diet Coke from your mini fridge, or notes from American Culture 101, there is always somebody willing to catch a free ride. Sure, one Diet Coke is nothing. But soon, the Diet Cokes add up and eventually you're basically helping your friend slide through class without lifting a finger–or buying the text book! Did that metaphor get mixed up? You get it.
4. The Unexpected Party Animal
This person was on 24-hour patrol by their parents before shipping off to college. The freedom is often jarring and catapults this usually in-bed-by-9pm type into crazy party animal behaviors. Don't worry though, they'll get the balance sooner or later.
5. Wait, They've Found Signs of Life Outside the Greek Bubble?
What's most interesting is that even though nobody's born into the Greek system, a certain group of people completely disregard the life they led before going Greek and treat non-Greek people as if they're lost puppies without homes. Let them live in their little dream worlds. It's cute and stupid. But mostly cute. And also stupid.
6. The Unassuming Genius
This is the best one. You'll be asking a homework question to yourself out loud, like "Wait, so what's the dif between diamond and graphite?" And your roommate who happens to be watching Real Housewives of Orange County because that's what she does ALL day, says, "They are chemically identical–completely carbon-based– but their bonding patterns, graphite being held together like sheets, and diamond created from 4 incredibly strong covalent bonds result in completely different materials. The graphite in your pencil is writing this all down because the sheets can slide off easily since they're only held be weaker Van der Waal bonds," she says without looking away from the television. Kinda nice to have on tap.
7. Person Who Thinks That They're the Only One in a Hard Class with A Lot of Work
This stereotype cannot get it through their heads that they are not the only ones on campus to be in a class that requires some hard work. It's really annoying, but usually these types have a bunch of other redeeming qualities you can concentrate on. Usually.
Any stereotypes we're missing? What would you be considered on campus?
