- I wait till my skin is either completely or mostly clear OR it's been breaking out for awhile and I can't stop it (this is desperation). The problem is if my skin IS clear I hate to disrupt it at all and sometimes will hold off trying a new product for ages because of this.
- When I finally get the guts to try it out, motivated by curiosity or some form of mild insanity, I apply a light layer for a night event. Why night? Because it's cooler and shorter and thus less likely to greatly piss off my skin.
- I wait a week and watch my skin anxiously for breakouts. Because these things can take a few days to surface, it's best to wait a week.
- If I DO breakout, I clear up again and repeat step 1 to be sure it's the product.
- If nothing bad happens I test it for a day. Then stop again for a week.
- If nothing happens again I move on to alternate use. The idea here is that if I DO breakout, it won't be as bad or last as long.
- By this time I'm pretty sure if my skin likes the product or hates it and I either dump it or use it daily.

Totally get what you're going through. As a proud owner of a rosacea skin, it's frustrating because I like to try new products too. Doesn't help matters when we follow some beauty blog/surf makeupalley and they rave and rave and rave about it. I like your method. I think I'll try that (skin is breaking out at the moment) one day.

Everything begins with the sniff test. If I don't sneeze or start tearing up, then I move on to the patch test. If there are no rashes, then I'll proceed to cautiously try the product on my skin.
Its a loooong waiting game. And it usually takes about 3 weeks for my skin to decide whether it likes or hates something. - 26 March 2013 at 15:02

@Annette hope the methodology works for you!
Man Eli you win the crazy skin award! - 26 March 2013 at 18:02

I do my testing by putting a small amount in the affected area but not the whole area but small area only. Try it a couple of days then if I notice good results then put the product on the whole area.

John Chimples sat before two large screens at his house in Ditch Plain, Montauk, one day last month. He clicked a link and one of the screens came alive with the image of an older man wearing a wry smile and wrinkled features earned in ways that most human beings can barely imagine.
Thanksgiving is perhaps the one holiday that has not yet had its meaning sucked from it by commercial vampires, at least not here on the East End. Maybe because of the wild turkeys grazing along the side of the road.
Certainly nature's bounty in the form of striped bass, scallops, ducks, herring, deer, deer, and more deer, cauliflower, squash, brussels sprouts, and cranberries — if you know where the bogs lie — helps.

Augmented reality and memory manipulation have taken control of peoples' lives.
You can now digitize, buy, sell or trade your own personal memories. The last remainders of intimacy have been swept away, in what appears to be a simple extension of the development of social networks and geolocation at the beginning of the 21st century.
The "surveillance society" has been accepted by the citizens themselves, in exchange for a few technological benefits. It is a reality that no one even thinks of challenging anymore.
This memory-based economy gives an immense yet uncontrollable power to a handful of people…

Kids are leading the world's transition to digital media.
This is in part because kids aren't afraid of technology, and in part because kids haven't spent years getting use to anything else.
So if you want to get a sense of where the world's media habits are headed, it makes sense to watch what kids are doing.
The Kaiser Family Foundation did just that in a comprehensive survey released last year. Kaiser surveyed more than 2,000 families, and turned up all sorts of interesting information about the media habits of 8-18 year olds.
(Just go to the presentation >)
Some key points:
- Kids consume a heck of a lot of media--and more all the time. Basically, if kids are awake, they're consuming media. And, increasingly, they're consuming multiple forms of media at the same time.
- Kids' print media consumption is tiny and falling.
- Kids' digital media consumption is going through the roof.
No big surprise there. What is a surprise is how little parents seem to care about this. (Or, alternatively, how much parents encourage this media consumption by consuming a huge amount of media themselves.)
- In 2/3 of households, TVs are on during meals
- In 75% of households, TVs are on when no one is watching them.
- More than 70% of kids have TVs in their bedrooms
- Only 1/3 of households have media-consumption rules
No surprise, more media is consumed in households in which TVs are always on, where there are no media consumption rules, and where kids have TVs in their bedrooms.
And, no surprise, kids who consume the most media get the worst grades (but is this cause or effect?)
It's a long presentation, but it's awesome.

Food Safety & Nutrition
Nutritionists tell us that lean protein plays an important role in a well-balanced diet. North Carolina livestock farmers work hard to provide safe, nutritious, affordable food for consumers who choose to eat meat, milk and eggs. We know that safe food begins with healthy animals. This is why we follow a comprehensive set of quality assurance programs covering animal health and well-being, barn safety and cleanliness, disease prevention, environmental protection and food safety.
In addition to providing a safe and healthy place for our animals to live, we work with veterinarians to monitor the health of our herds and flocks. To that end, when needed, we use approved animal medicines, such as antibiotics, to prevent, control and treat infectious diseases. Like human medicine, all animal medicines are required to meet FDA standards and are subject to strict oversight and regulation.
Our commitment to safe food does not stop at the farm gate. Once our animals leave our farms they're inspected by federal and state agencies through every stage of processing to ensure food safety. In North Carolina, the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Meat and Poultry Inspection Division is responsible for regulating the process all the way to the retail level. All inspection is overseen by the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service.

Dell has declined to confirm a report of employee layoffs, but said it could make decisions related to the workforce if necessary in order to maintain company stability.
The company will cut 20 per cent of sales employees in the US and 30 per cent of sales and marketing jobs in Europe, Middle East and Africa, according to a news report in The Register.
"When necessary, we'll continue to make tough decisions to help ensure our long-term success -- some of these decisions may affect our workforce," said Dell spokesman David Frink in an email, adding that the company did not comment on rumor and speculation.
The reports come after CEO Michael Dell and equity firm Silver Lake Partners took the company private in a $US24.9 billion deal in October last year.
While Pund-IT analyst Charles King was not aware of the layoffs, he said going private may not have influenced the decision.
"Being a public company wouldn't preclude them from making a move like that," King said.
The sales staff could be targeted as the company unites product lines and sells more products through the channel. Dell has acquired many companies in the last five years, and as they unite product lines, the number of salespeople could decline.
"With a holistic approach to sales and marketing, there will be some redundancies," King said.
At the company's Dell World conference in December, King also noticed an increasingly large percentage of sales being driven through channel partners.
"As that channel gets larger and robust, it's going to have an impact on [direct] sales," King said. "I'm not saying that's the reason, but that'll be a logical extension."

Detailed Description:
One in four elderly Americans die in or shortly after discharge from an intensive care unit. An expanding body of literature documents that physician-family communication and end-of-life care is poor in intensive care units. These deficiencies are associated with high rates of adverse psychological outcomes among surrogates, physician-family conflict, and life support decisions that may be inconsistent with patients' goals and preferences. There is a lack on information on practical, generalizable interventions that effectively improve this important aspect of care for elderly patients and their families.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multifaceted communication intervention to improve psychological outcomes among family members of critically ill patients, using a randomized, controlled trial design.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 50 Years and older (Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria for ICU Patients:
- must be unable to make treatment decisions for him/herself, as determined by the patient's physicians.
- must have have either an APACHE II score of ≥ 25 or, for patients with a primary neurologic diagnosis (e.g. intracranial hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage), physician estimate that the patient has at least a 50% risk of long term, severe functional impairment
- must be 50 years old or greater.
Exclusion Criteria for ICU Patients:
- Patients who do not have surrogates or at least one family member who is willing to participate in the study.

text: Someone Please Finish Making This Game. It's A "Murder Simulator"Steve Marinconz1/06/14 7:30pmFiled to: IndieKotakucore912EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink An indie developer by the name 'Kazerad' was working on a two player game where each is trying to uncover the other's identity, and kill them. Sadly, he's abandoned the idea, but he posted everything you'd need to pick up where he left off. Advertisement I think "Murder simulator" was a good word for it. It was a game where you're trying to kill someone while acting like you're totally not trying to kill someone. On his tumblr, Kazerad goes through a detailed explanation of the game, mostly talking about all the characters he designed for it. The storyline of the game sounds a lot like Clue (the movie): Advertisement Six astronauts are happily living alone in a small, off-world research facility when the power suddenly cuts out. Once the emergency lighting comes on, the astronauts discover their commander has been eviscerated.Unbeknownst to the astronauts, one of their own is actually a shapeshifting monster known as a Harvester - a supernatural creature that feeds off the presence of death. But unbeknownst to the Harvester, one of the unassuming astronauts is actually an agent of the Golden Claw - a secret organization tasked with taking down supernatural creatures. Hilarity ensues.Just kidding! It's a bloodbath. The thing that really makes this interesting are the game mechanics. They're an interesting twist on familiar ideas:Ultimately, I opted for something turn-based and "Mafia"-like. One player, playing as the Golden Claw agent, wins the game by identifying and killing the Harvester. The other player, playing as the Harvester, wins by killing all the NPCs - at which point he/she will finally be strong enough to kill the Golden Claw agent. The roles are randomly assigned among the five characters each game, and both players have an incentive to keep their character secret - the moment one player identifies the other, the only way they can remain hidden is by literally, physically hiding.So if any of that sounds good to you, and you're a game developer, or want to try your hand at being one, give it a shot.

Funny Business
July/August 2001 | Volume 52, Issue 5
Pow!!! Once again, the innocent citizens of Gotham City have been rescued from the clutches of modern art by their mild-mannered mayor, Rudy Giuliani. The latest menace to civilization? A reworking of the Last Supper, shown by the mayor's archnemesis, the Brooklyn Museum. Entitled Yo Mama's Last Supper , the offending picture features a naked black woman—the artist—in the place of Jesus.
Holy, uh, blasphemy! After the fiendish image was zapped by Mr. Giuliani as "anti-Catholic," the mayor launched a renewed campaign against pornography and called for the creation of a "commission on decency standards" to police any cultural institution that receives public funding.
What has engaged Gothamites much more is Giuliani's campaign to move stores that sell pornographic materials out of most neighborhoods. After all, to move through almost any section of our culture today is to be bombarded with images of sex and violence that most Americans might consider fine for consenting adults but not for their children.
Our debate over just what is or is not suitable for children has gone on for more than half a century now. It began with a battle over what might have seemed the most innocuous of subjects: the comic book.
Comic books did not even really come into being until 1933. Yet by 1941, one study estimated that some 180 million of them were sold each year, and that children aged 9 to 14 spent 75 percent of their free time reading them. Objections from parents and educators proliferated almost as quickly. Most of these were about the comics' thin stories and simple pictures. There were even fears, as Amy Kiste Nyberg traces in her fascinating account, Seal of Approval: The History of the Comics Code , that the poor quality of comics printing would "spoil a child's natural sense of color."
But the idea of comic books as a national threat burst upon the public consciousness in March 1948. That was the month a 53-year-old German-immigrant psychiatrist named Fredric Wertham convened a psychiatric symposium at which he charged that heavy comic-book reading had contributed to the delinquency of every troubled child he had ever studied.
Dr. Wertham was no stereotypical bluestockinged censor. During a distinguished career at some of the nation's leading hospitals, he fought tirelessly to bring the first psychiatric clinic to Harlem, one that served its patients free of charge. He had become friends with Clarence Darrow when he proved himself one of the few psychiatrists anywhere willing to testify for indigent black defendants, and his research and testimony would play a crucial role in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case that ended segregation in public schools. For his time, Dr. Wertham was a broadminded, tolerant, and idealistic advocate for poor and troubled children—and it was from his idealism that his worst excesses would follow.
The charges leveled by Wertham struck a chord. America was undergoing a fresh bout of moral anxiety, worried that the war years had produced a nation of "juvenile delinquents" — a phrase that was just then coming into its own. Wertham would state repeatedly that comic books were not the sole or even the primary factor in producing delinquents. Yet he would pursue the publications almost obsessively over the next decade, producing a host of articles and interviews and finally his famous—and infamous—book, Seduction of the Innocent .
It is impossible to deny much of Wertham's indictment of the medium. Many comics had begun to feature horror stories, with Grand Guignol depictions of severed heads and limbs and graphic shootings and stabbings. The violence was heavily flavored with sex, and nonwhites were depicted as semi-human. Some comics contained detailed plans for committing crimes.
Yet Dr. Wertham was less successful in linking such images to the behavior of urban juvenile offenders. Social scientists have since picked apart much of his methodology, and even to a layman, many of his stories strain credibility. One passage in Seduction of the Innocent , for instance, relates the deleterious effects of comic books on "Annie, aged ten, [who] engaged in sex play with men for which she received money," and who is quoted as saying, "I meet the men on the docks." A ten-year-old who trawls the docks looking for tricks? Could it be that comic books are not the real problem here?
Was life copying art, or art life? It was in answering this question that Wertham showed himself at both his most visionary—and his most frightening. Preoccupied with the effect of mass culture on society as a whole, he let his good intentions run away with him. "People like to be nonviolent," he maintained. "... There is no proof that hostility and violence are an ineradicable part of human nature." It did not matter to Dr. Wertham if comic stories showed that crime didn't pay or that evildoers would be punished. Even the adventures of Superman were a threat—"phantasies of sadistic joy in seeing other people punished again and again." And "the Batman stories are psychologically homosexual," Batman's relationship with Robin "a wish dream of two homosexuals living together" that must corrupt children. Wonder Woman was "the lesbian counterpart of Batman."

As part of our DR procedures we want to start to use the Redgate option option "Split backup into multiple files". This is to reduce the size of a single backup file to make things easier when we manually copy the backups to a 3rd location. As part of out testing I now need restore this backup onto a server which does not have redgate. I've used the sqb2mtf utility to convert the seperate files from .sqb to .bak, but when I try to restore the backup using the following command:
RESTORE DATABASE [Live_Reports] FROM DISK = N'F:\\MultiFile\\FULL_Live_Reports_20140414_081818_01.bak', DISK = N'F:\\MultiFile\\FULL_Live_Reports_20140414_081818_02.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'Live_Reports' TO N'G:\\MSSQL\\SQL.DATA\\Live_Reports.mdf', MOVE N'Live_Reports_log' TO N'E:\\MSSQL.1\\LOGS\\Live_Reports.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
I get the error:
Msg 3183, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE detected an error on page (1:100919) in database "Live_Reports" as read from the backup set.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
The server I have tried this on does have Redgate installed and I can sucessfully restore the .sqb files using the Redgate GUI. I have tried to running sqb2mtf and restoring twice and get the same error both times but on different pages.

Duke looking to continue winning ways vs. Virginia
Credit: The Associated Press
DURHAM, N.C. — There's something about Virginia that always brings out the best in Duke.
Since David Cutcliffe took over the Blue Devils, they have beaten the Cavaliers more than anybody else in the Atlantic Coast Conference — by far.
Duke has gone 4-1 against Virginia since the coach's first season in 2008 and 5-32 versus the rest of the league.
And if the Blue Devils (4-2, 0-2) can keep that trend going this week against a program they consider almost as much of a rival as North Carolina, they'll move one win from a second straight season of bowl eligibility.
"I don't know what it is about Duke and Virginia," cornerback Ross Cockrell said Tuesday, "but it's just a rowdy game."
According to Duke receiver Jamison Crowder, the seeds of this unlikely rivalry were planted two years ago in Charlottesville during the Cavaliers' only victory since Cutcliffe's arrival.
Crowder says some Cavaliers were "jawing back and forth with our sideline" and "that kind of got us sparked up a little bit."
"The main thing is, when we play against UVa, there's a little edge," he said. "It's something that's kind of turned into a little rivalry of some sort. A lot of people on the outside don't really know about it.
"We kind of get up for it almost like Carolina," he added.
The Cavaliers (2-4, 0-2) are 2½-point favorites in this one despite a three-game losing streak that includes a three-touchdown home loss to Ball State.
"Our focus is just to do what we need to do to start our own tradition or start our own win streak," Virginia coach Mike London said.
His team doesn't seem to consider it as much of a rivalry as the Blue Devils do.
"It doesn't matter as much that it's Duke this week," guard Jay Whitmire said. "No matter what, we need to get a win this week. We need to get everything back on track. Duke has beaten us the past few years, but that doesn't exactly affect this year. It's not like you single out a single team and get extra amped up for them."
Maybe Virginia doesn't, but it sure sounds like the Blue Devils do.
They always seem to play with confidence against the Cavaliers, and that's at least partially because so many of their firsts under Cutcliffe came against them.
Duke's win at home in 2008 snapped a 25-game ACC losing streak, and its victory in Charlottesville the next year marked the Blue Devils' first conference road win since 2003.
And last year, Anthony Boone lit up Virginia's secondary for a career-high four touchdown passes in his first career start, a 42-17 rout. Boone — who is 4-0 as a starter — is expected to make his second straight start after a broken collarbone kept him sidelined for three games.
"At first, that (2008 win) was a positive for us because we weren't really used to beating anyone in the ACC, so you had a group of guys ... that had lost 25 games in a row in conference," Cutcliffe said.
"Obviously, we've beaten a few people now, but that was the one that was like, 'Wow, hey, we won an ACC game,'" he added. "I think with those early teams, that might have been the case, but now we've got to go play and I think these guys know that we're capable of winning when we play a conference game, but we've got to play well."

Last month I wrote about how a deep depression was summed up for me in the three words I don't care. After that, I saw my psychiatrist and she decided I should increase Seroquel (quetiapine), which had worked before for me as an antidepressant, from 50 mg to 200. Although I have my worries about weight issues and blood sugar with Seroquel, I didn't hesitate to go along with this.
And then I got cellulitis again. Briefly, this is a skin infection. In my case, it appeared on my left ankle this time (last year it was the right ankle, foot and shin) and started moving upward. So it was off to the ER, where they gave me an intravenous antibiotic for an hour and sent me home with a prescription.
Last year this worked fine. This year, not so. I wound up having to be admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics. Cellulitis can become dangerous if not treated before it escalates.
All this was pretty damn depressing, so I continued in a very low mood for several days after being released. And then, after I took the last clindamycin dose, something changed.
Maybe at that point the increased Seroquel finally kicked in, I don't know. What I do know is that I had some trash in my hand to throw away, but I hadn't put a new garbage bag into the kitchen wastebasket. "I don't care" would have me just put the trash down on the table. But that's not the words I heard - I heard, "Ah, why not?"
And I set the trash down, pulled out a fresh bag and settled it in the wastebasket. And threw the trash in.
Sounds insignificant - but it's not. I mean, I store the extra trashbags in the bottom of the wastebasket. They are just that easy to get out, peel and shake open and put in place - takes maybe 30 seconds. But it's a 30-second task that was too much effort during the deepest depression, and now my mindset was different.
From I don't care to Ah, why not? is an enormous step on the stairway up from depression. Since then I've cleaned up the bathroom, washed all the cruddy, stinky stuff in the kitchen sink and emptied the dishwasher. Doesn't sound like much, but for the first time the stairway is lit instead of being so dark I couldn't even find it.
Today I tackled - and almost finished - the enormous task of catching up on payroll and payroll taxes for my one-person corporation. It was daunting and stressing, but now it's done, except for sending one fax (my scanner is buried in papers).
Would it be possible consciously to say, maybe even out loud, "Ah, why not?" when you hear, "I don't care"? Would it help you find the staircase sooner? It's worth a try.

Nyrian biosphere vessel
this wiki
The Nyrian biosphere vessel was a vast starship utilized by the Nyrians of the Delta Quadrant.
The ship was equipped with a translocation device and acted as the prison in which the Nyrians kept the crews of ships, space stations, and colonies that they had acquired.
The ship contained 94 holographic habitats, each tailored to make the stay of the prisoners as comfortable as possible. Habitats could be entered from the main body of the ship via hidden portals. These portals also linked one habitat to another. The habitats were individually named, including Argala, Bourget, and Zooabud.
The ship was shut down in late 2373 when the crew of the USS Voyager escaped and captured several high ranking Nyrians in the Argala habitat. They disabled the translocator and arranged for the prisoners to be taken home. (VOY: "Displaced")

Sheffield, England born 1940
Painting (for Angelika)
Materials & Technique:
paintings, synthetic polymer paint on canvas
Primary Insc: 3.1982.134
Now known as a figurative painter, Booth's reputation was first built on his black 'doorway' paintings (1970-74). These paintings deliberately confused distinctions of abstraction and figuration. While the works appeared non-objective, and the 'shapes' of colour and application of paint seemed to align with formal principles that remained current in Australian abstract painting at the time, the fact is that the works could be understood quite literally as doorways, leading to dramatic black voids that might represent the universe or a state of mind. As Booth later stated, 'whether a picture is abstract of figurative is not the issue – it's what the painting says about the human condition'.

Autographer Life Logging Wearable Camera Review
The OMG Life Autographer is a 5 megapixel life logging wearable camera which you can clip to your shirt, bag, belt, or even wear around your neck with the included lanyard. Rotate the lens and hold down the side button to quickly turn it on, and away you go!
The Autographer camera captures images at a respectable 2596 x 1936 size, while only coming in at about half a megabyte in filesize. With 8GB of internal storage and low file size images the Autographer can take up to 28,000 photos before you need to connect to your computer and import the images. However an average day will only bring in about 2,000 photos, so you will still have to connect the unit to charge before reaching the 28,000 photo (two weeks) limit. Thankfully the battery is rated for a full day of use per charge, so charging it overnight will last you throughout the entire day. With the ability to capture and store so many images per use, and an ultra-light 58g design, you will quickly forget you're even wearing it while it chronicles your life.
- 136° angle of view
- Five sensor smart shooting
- 8GB memory (28,000 images)
- Built-in GPS
- Built-in battery, charges over USB
- 58g Weight
- 90mm x 37.4mm x 22.9mm
Smart Sensors
The Autographer comes with three sensitivity settings: low, medium and high. Displayed on it's stylish OLED display, these allow you to adjust the number of photos it captures throughout the day. One of the key points of the Autographer is that is doesn't simply capture photos at random intervals, but instead uses five built-in sensors, working together, to determine and capture only the shots it deems noteworthy.
- Color Sensor – perceives light and brightness.
- Thermometer – Temperature is taken by built-in thermometer.
- Magnetometer – Determines the direction the camera is facing.
- Motion Tracking – Infared light is used to track and sense moving objects.
- Accelerometer – determines the movement of the Autographer itself.
The information from these five sensors is all processed by the computer inside the Autographer to help decide when to take a picture or not. Letting the Autographer do the thinking for you; allowing you to wear it and forget it. Understandably there may be instances that pop up where you would want to instantly capture more images on the fly, so they have included a "Sequence Mode" for those occasions. Sequence mode allows you to quickly capture a series of up to 8 images at the push of a button, without having to rely on the Autographers smart sensors.
While your typical smartphone lens has roughly a 60-degree wide angle lens, the Autographers camera carries a custom designed and built lens with a significantly wider range, a 136-degree field of view to be exact. This was done in an effort to more accurately capture a first person perspective of the world as you would see it from your own eyes. The one potential draw back with this ultra wide field of view is a noticeable fish-eye effect, but it lends itself well for the purpose of life logging.
Image Quality
Most cameras are judged primarily on their image quality, however the Autographer is a little different. While taking photos may be it's main function, it's main purpose is documenting your day through thousands of images. To accomplish that it can't provide the same images quality you would expect from a dedicated digital camera, file size limitations alone would prevent that. However the Autographer's 5 megapixel sensor is capable of shooting images at an impressive 2596 x 1936 dimension at under half a megabyte, nearly ten times smaller than the file size of an iPhone photo.
Colors have been given a heavy boost in saturation, which helps to produce vibrant photos during optimal sunlight, while also producing pleasant color in low light situations, such as a cloudy day. Extremely low light situations, such as indoors, greatly exceeded our expectations. There is a noticeable increase in noise as a result, but that is to be expected. While the Autographer's contrasted look lends it self well with most shots, it does tends to blow out highlights more than we would like. With the fixed focal point provided by the 136° angle of view lens we found the sweet spot for sharpness to be between 2-5 feet.
Since it is designed to be worn it does suffer from two problems you might predict. Since you don't directly aim it in any way, framing ends up being very random. If you wear it during active situations then we suggest checking the cameras alignment on occasion if you want to ensure the images are positioned level to the subject. The second result is instances of motion blur, but to the Autographer's credit it is not as problematic as you would think from a constantly moving camera. That said, the benefit of all the sensors and frequent shots is that occasionally everything aligns perfectly and you get a fantastic shot.
Waterproof Camera Kit
For those wanting to take their life logging adventures away from dry land, OMG Life offers a waterproof camera kit. The Aquapac waterproof camera kit enables the Autographer to withstand a complete submersion of up to 30ft for an entire 30 minutes. Made from tough thermoplastic polyurethane, the waterproof kit holds your Autographer securely, while the optically-clear LENZFLEX lens window allows it to continue capturing images uninterrupted by the elements around it.
When the Autographer's storage capacity is full then it is time to plug it in to your PC or Mac and load your images. The software is included and installs automatically the first time you plug in the device. There are three viewing options presented to sort through your images, Stream, Cinema, and Calendar.
- Stream – Images Presented in full page of thumbnails
- Cinema – Row of thumbnails, with large selected image display on top. (Slideshow mode)
- Calendar – Sorted by date and series.
We appreciate the number of viewing options available, since the Autographer averages 2,000 photos a day it can become overwhelming trying to find the best shots when you start backing up several days worth. One of our favorite aspects of the autographer software is the built-in GPS tracking. Next to the thumbnails is a Bing map of your city, showing all the locations images were captured at throughout the day. A very fun way to relive your day, or locate the exact spot one of your favorite images was captured.
The Autographer's software also includes the standard photo sharing options that you come to expect from any imaging product these days with direct to Facebook and Twitter uploading, as well as the Autographer's dedicated sharing site. However one neat sharing feature does stand out compared to the others, the ability to turn the slideshow of images into an animated GIF, which can be converted into a movie and posted on YouTube. The only draw back is that you really need to set the autographer to a high frequency of image captures for the best result, otherwise there tends to be too much time between frames.
Final Thoughts
The OMG Life Autographer's custom software and built in GPS and capabilities help it to stand out above its competition. With the stylish OLED display and five smart sensors the Autographer is a very cool first step into the wearable camera market. At $399 the Autographer comes off as expensive, considering it's size and plastic casing, but early adopters will be use to paying a premium for the latest tech. As wearble technology continues to expand we love to see a second model introduced down the road with improvements in the hardware and perhaps a lower price.

"Approximately 11:04 Eastern Standard Time, the American news media finally realized they kind of suck."
Hearkening back to legendary newsman Walter Cronkite's famous announcement to the nation about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, when journalism was journalism and not sensationalistic claptrap, Jon Stewart took aim at the 24-hour news networks and their response to the Rolling Stone magazine exclusive report that got General Stanley McChrystal sacked from his position of running the war in Afghanistan.
After playing a long reel of various pundits marveling at the depth access freelance reporter Michael Hastings got to McChrystal, including Wolf Blitzer, Chris Matthews and Anderson Cooper, Stewart perfectly delivered that line, which illustrated just how skewed the fourth estate has become since it turned into a ratings race instead of a service to the American people.
This was put into clearer perspective by the next clip of NPR's Celeste Headlee interviewing Hastings, mentioning that he obviously wasn't worried about holding onto that access considering what he wrote, and Stewart, answering for Hastings, said "Yeah, I don't need it anymore. I got this amazing story." The point being that if the famous faces of the news networks weren't so concerned about holding onto their celebrity statuses, maybe they would actually be digging into real journalism and exposing truths a little more often instead of making sure they'll always get a seat in the White House press room to ask Press Secretary Robert Gibbs what's on Obama's iPod playlist.
Once more, The Daily Show's favorite targets Fox and Friends put the obnoxiousness of today's journalism front and center, when Gretchen Carlson ludicrously claimed that the hosts of her show have the same pressures on them when they have to fill time on a slow news day as President Obama does in trying to make tough executive decisions. That caused Stewart to do an elaborate spit-take, and then zing her with "What? The President of the United States having to fire the commanding general of an ongoing international conflict reminds you of being, for a couple of hours a day, the 'smart lady meat' in a doofus sandwich?"
If any offense is taken at referring to Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade as doofuses (doofi?), their promotional segments for Hooters should put that to bed. Watch last night's episode of The Daily Show with John Stewart below to get the full take.

An old codger, a tomcat, and a killer
The venerable Herbert Ungley wouldn't have been caught dead without his toupee. So when his landlady's cat dragged it into her kitchen, Betsy Lomax knew something was amiss. When she found old Ungley lying behind the Balaclavian Society clubhouse, she knew it was murder. And when the police chief called it an accident, she knew it was time to call Professor Peter Shandy, whose success at sleuthing had already surpassed his fame as father of the world-renowned rutabaga, the Balaclava Buster.
Before long, the Hercule Poirot of the turnip fields found himself knee-deep in unanswered questions: Who was Ungley's long-lost heir? Where had Ungley's shockingly large bank account come from? Why had another dead body been planted among the trees of Balaclava College? And would Professor Shandy be able to root out the killer?
This is the fourth book in the Pete and Helen Shandy Mystery series.

A Toledo man pleaded no contest and was found guilty yesterday of two menacing charges filed after he allegedly raised his fists at two Toledo firefighters and threatened to assault them.
Willie J. Hardin, 35, of 1936 1/2 North Erie St., was being held in the Lucas County jail last night in lieu of $1,000 bond ordered during his arraignment in Toledo Municipal Court. Judge Gene Zmuda referred the case to probation for a presentence investigation. Another hearing is set for Friday.
Steven Stainbrook, a firefighter at Station No. 3, told police he was driving a fire engine north in the 1900 block of North Erie when the suspect stepped in front of the fire truck about 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
The suspect allegedly threw a glass bottle at the truck, breaking the windshield and damaging the hood, Toledo police said.
Mr. Stainbrook and another firefighter stopped the suspect after he threatened to assault them. The suspect raised his fists at both of them and called them several names before he was arrested, police said.
The investigation, including the amount of damage, is continuing.

Forget selling banks with the "for all your roast beef needs" tired old phrases, in Taiwan they'll tug at your heartstrings hard to convince you that their bank is the right choice. Because what is banking? It's saving money for a rainy day, borrowing money for something you need, and in this case it's for that last epic motorcycle road trip across Taiwan, just so you can hang with the gang at beach like you did so long ago.
Edit: I posted this under "Thailand" at first, when the agency credits reads "Taiwan". Man, I need coffee. My bad!

Epic! I want to jump on my Sportster and ride. That is, if the Bank will lend me the money for a new one. Never the less, it is a great ad.
Most likely the only bank ad I would not ignore if "Big Bank US of A" ran something like this. Doubt it; American banks only run cheesy ads at best.
I really like this.

Ribbit, Ribbit! Things Will Be Hoppin' in Storytime This Week.
Jump on over to the library this week for storytime. Ms Susan will be reading books about frogs and there will also be an opportunity for children to make a really cute craft. Please be aware that space is limited.
Toddler Storytime is on Wednesdays at 10 am and 1:30 pm.
Pre-School Storytime is on Thursdays at 10 am.
Below are a few picture books that you can checkout to expand your child's experience.
Hop Jump Ellen Stoll Walsh
Bored with just hopping and jumping, a frog discovers dancing.
Leap Back Home To Me Lauren Thompson
A little frog's first leap out into the world is a big, scary thing. But luckily, mama is always there to catch him when he comes home. As the leaps get bigger, frog gets braver, -and before he knows it, he's soaring out to the moon and beyond! This loveable little frog will hurdle his way into your heart. Come leap along, and see what it's like to shoot for the stars, and always have a landing pad ready to catch you.
Little Quack's New Friend Lauren Thompson
When a frog invites five ducklings to play, four refuse because he is too little and green, but Little Quack has so much fun with his new friend that the other ducklings soon join in.
Baby Bird's First Nest Frank Asch.
In the middle of the night, Baby Bird rolls over and falls out of her warm, cozy nest. Sleeping Mama Bird is too far away to hear her baby's cries for help. And poor Baby Bird's wings are not yet strong enough to fly. What is she to do? Then Baby Bird meets Little Frog. And with a bit of help from her new friend, Baby Bird discovers she can do more than she ever imagined.
Stick Steve Breen.
An independent young frog goes on a wild adventure when he accidentally gets carried away by a dragonfly. Author/illustrator Steve Breen is a Pulitzer Prize, winning editorial cartoonist and the creator of the comic strip Grand Avenue.

A Frog In The Bog Karma Wilson
There's a small, hungry frog sitting on the log in the middle of the bog. He flicks ONE tick off of a stick. He sees TWO fleas in the reeds. He spies THREE flies buzzing in the skies. The frog is feeling pretty fine, but then... the log in the middle of the bog starts to rise.... What a surprise!

Girl Scouts of Connecticut Presents Anika Noni Rose with 2010 Woman of Merit AwardJune 11, 2010 Girl Scouts of Connecticut honored former Bloomfield Girl Scout and current Broadway and film actress Anika Noni Rose at the 2010 Woman of Merit dinner on Wednesday, June 9 at the Hartford Marriott Downtown. The lead sponsors of the event were Aetna, Comcast, Travelers, and ING. Anika Noni Rose accepted the Woman of Merit award for her personal achievement, leadership skills, and commitment to community involvement. More than 350 friends and supporters enjoyed the ceremonial Girl Scout evening of fun and fundraising to celebrate the 2010 Woman of Merit while supporting Girl Scouts of Connecticut and its mission to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. "As an organization which has been helping girls develop leadership skills for almost 100 years, we are thrilled to honor the extraordinary achievements of former Connecticut Girl Scout, Anika Noni Rose," said Jennifer Smith Turner, Girl Scouts of Connecticut's CEO. "Anika has stayed true to her Girl Scout roots despite a very demanding career and her high standards and recognizable accomplishments make her a great role model for Girl Scouts across Connecticut." Anika Noni Rose recently made history by being cast as the first ever African-American princess in a Disney animated musical feature The Princess and The Frog. She is the voice of 'Princess Tiana' in the film and sings the song "Almost There" which was nominated for an academy award. Throughout her acting career Anika has portrayed a number of inspiring women with performances that have earned her critical praise and awards. Classically trained at the San Francisco American Conservatory Theater, Anika wasted no time transitioning to the Broadway stage. In 2004, she won a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical, for her role of Emmie Thibodeaux in Caroline, or Change and a Drama Desk Award nomination. When she reprised her role in the west coast productions of Caroline, or Change, in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Rose won both the Los Angeles Critics Circle Award and an Ovation Award. Anika was cast in the hit HBO show The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, as well as in the popular television adaptation of the novel, The Starter Wife, which premiered to record ratings, and received several Emmy nominations. She was also cast in the critically acclaimed screen adaptation of the musical, Dreamgirls. Anika portrayed 'Lorrell Robinson,' and was nominated for two NAACP Image Awards, a Screen Actors guild Award and shared a Grammy nomination with Beyonce Knowles and Jennifer Hudson for the soundtrack of Dreamgirls. Girl Scouts of Connecticut's Woman of Merit event helped the organization raise important funds to support enrichment, educational, recreational, and personal development programs that help girls in grades K - 12 bring out the best in themselves and their communities. Additional sponsors that helped make the Woman of Merit dinner possible included Fairview Capital Partners, New Alliance, Newman's Own Foundation, Webster, and Westchester Modular Homes of Fairfield County, Inc., as well as Bank of America, CIGNA, Fiserv, Hartford Courant, The Hartford Financial Services, Hartford Steam Boiler, QSP, and University of Hartford. |
