The alternative name Bindowglass or Bendouglas (Binn Dúghlais, 'peak of the black stream') is recorded as early as 1684 by Roderic O'Flaherty. Note that both names refer to the wet state of the mountain. O'Flaherty mentions a pool of water on the summit which turns the hair white of anyone who washes in it. In the days before accurate measurements of altitude, he erroneously believed that Bindowglass was the highest of the Twelve Bens and was two miles high. This misconception was corrected by James Hardiman, who edited O'Flaherty's work in 1846, aware that the Ordnance Survey had found that Ben Corr and Ben Bawn exceed it in height by several hundred feet (O'Flaherty, 107). Benlettery is the 344th highest place in Ireland. Benlettery is the most southerly summit in the Twelve Bens area.

Walk up to the hostel and take the stile on your left. Proceed in a NNW direction for about 1km, the grassy terrain mostly firm underfoot, but uneven at times, the incline becoming steeper as you ascend. When you reach point 773 493 B, from here you can either turn NE and go directly up to the summit, but this is very steep in spots, or continue north for a few hundred metres and then turn NE at 773 497 C, which will take you to the col to the north of the summit, and which has a narrow rocky track leading all the way to the top. Ascent will take 1.5 - 2 hours depending on the route you choose.

It looks like there is space beside the main road a little past the hostel that would cut out some of the walk and just climb a more direct route up the valley. Its a little boggy in parts but overall it is fine and this was after a few weeks of rain! Upon entering the valley the sound of road drops off and it is really peaceful. I was expecting to meet more people on this one but it was relatively isolated. Once you reach the coll the climb to the summit is quiet easy.

Walk up road to youth hostel and take a stile to the left onto the hillside. Pass through a stand of trees and cross a fence. There follows a steep climb of over 500m on generally good ground. There are great views down over Ballynahinch Lake (can pick out the elusive castle) and many other loughs before the sea. There is a well trodden track (eroded) as hit the higher reaches of the mountain, marked by some small cairns. The ground here is increasingly rocky and i have had difficulty on 2 occasions before the summit with steep ground requiring the use of hands - where is the easier path? The summit is mostly rocky with a few cairns. There are wide reaching views - west over Benglenisky and to the islands of the Atlantic, east to the other side of the famous Glencoaghan horseshoe and the Mamturks, north to the impressively rocky top of Bengower backed by Benbreen and of course south to the loughs and loughs and sea. A good starting point for one of the best walks in the country around Glencoaghan, or a visit to Bengower and Benglenisky. Can be busy but today no one else which made it all the better.

Kirby McInerney LLP Announces That a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed on Behalf of Tangoe, Inc. I
Kirby McInerney LLPAnnounces That a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed on Behalf of Tangoe, Inc. Investors
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kirby McInerney LLP announced today that it has been retained by an investor in Tangoe, Inc. ("Tangoe" or the "Company") (NAS: TNGO) to pursue claims in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased Tangoe securities between December 20, 2011 and September 5, 2012 (the "Class Period"). Other investors have already filed suit asserting claims against Tangoe and certain officers for violation of §10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Tangoe develops and markets computer software to help companies manage and control their fixed and mobile communications assets and costs. The lawsuit as filed alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies to inflate their share price. Particularly, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company was overstating organic growth by underreporting the percentage of revenue derived from recent acquisitions; (ii) the Company was not growing customers organically as its deferred implementation fees failed to grow; and (iii) as a result of the above, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On August 28, 2012, a report was published that described the Company as having a "risky acquisition-driven growth strategy." On this news, Tangoe shares declined $3.39 per share from $20.09 per share to $16.70 per share.
On September 6, 2012, another report was published that alleged that the Company had materially misrepresented its organic growth rate. On this news, Tangoe shares declined $1.03 per share, from $17.00 to $15.97 per share.
If you acquired Tangoe securities during the Class Period, you may, no later than April 29, 2013, request that the court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class. Although your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision whether or not to seek appointment as a lead plaintiff, lead plaintiffs make important decisions that could affect the overall recovery for class members, including decisions concerning settlement. If you have any questions about this matter, and any rights you might have with respect to these claims, contact Tom Elrod at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Wilona Karnadi at email@example.com, or by telephone at (212) 371-6600.

Simply put, training ourselves to memorize facts (Extrinsic Knowledge) creates a dependency on the source of those facts; a dependency on an expert or authority. This helps indoctrinate the mind through a slow and progressive control process, holding back creativity and personal discernment, eventually producing a willing drone for society.
Extrinsic Knowledge is a recipe for a desired result, not the skills and understanding which allow you to create the result by deductive analysis and creative inspiration. Only true knowledge, Intrinsic Knowledge, provides us with the complete picture, so our creative capacities and intuition can come to the fore. Additionally there is the aspect of free will being given over to the order giver, by way of our consent to act out the recipe.

Memorizing a recipe for pancakes essentially is an agreement to follow the orders of the person who wrote the recipe; the head chef. Our free will choice only extends as far as accepting the orders. Contrastingly, if we are the head chef, the recipe is our creation, and our free will is allowed to make choices at every step of the creation process, deciding for ourselves what to do; developing critical thinking and self reliance.
The difference is clear, the more we truly understand the principles of what makes a good pancake, the more freedom we have to make them outside a predetermined recipe. If we need sugar for the recipe, and all we have is honey, a person trained in memorization (extrinsic knowledge) now needs to go back to the chef and get new orders so they can proceed. But the chef can recognize the properties of each ingredient available, because they have spent the time and attention developing this knowledge, and make new choices on their own.
Self Reliance vs Dependence on Authority
From a psychological perspective, we learn and develop autonomy (self reliance) and true knowledge (wisdom or Intrinsic Knowledge) via experience. Since memorizing facts only gives you a recipe to follow, we only get better at following orders by trying to live out Extrinsic Knowledge. Conversely, the more we develop Intrinsic Knowledge, real skills and understanding in a holistic fashion, then we get better at self reliance and thinking critically; the pathways to true morality.
As a final note: The awareness of Morality, the ability to determine right from wrong, is not an arbitrary determination of a social group; legal codes. Morality is based on Natural Law, which is nothing more than an acknowledgement to the right of life, freedom and the ability to do as one pleases, so long as no harm is made against another. This awareness, is developed cumulatively as one gains real knowledge. Eventually a critical mass is reached and we begin to feel the drive to act when we see violence. This again, underscores why building Intrinsic Knowledge is so important to creating a truly free society, and also why our would-be masters use Extrinsic Knowledge systems in our schools.
For more on these topics, see our presentations discussing Truth, Natural Law, and the effects of True Knowledge; along with our upcoming presentation on Honor and Contracts, further discussing the basis for a Moral and Free society.
True freedom can only exist with complete knowledge and awareness of each individuals rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happyness. Once this has been achieved on earth, the ideal of Anarchy (a leaderless society of enlightened self governing people) can be realized.

Right now our education system is doing more to indoctrinate our children than to educatethem. In fact, that has been the case for quite some time. Our young minds are being told to accept authority as truth instead of truth as authority, and teachers talk at the students instead of with them.
Teachers have become repeaters of information. They are merely regurgitating everything they once learned from their own teachers, and perpetuating the recycling of information; information that has managed to evade scrutiny for generations. Children are no longer the masters of their own learning, and instead, their minds are being treated as storage containers.
The factory model of education, with its focus on academic and economic elitism, is churning out obedient workers for the system, encouraged to conform every step of the way. We are not being treated as organic, creative, investigative human beings, but instead as parts in the machine. The education system is filtering out the inquisitive nature of our being, with the ultimate goal being to prevent dissent against the system. The system doesn't want thinkers. It doesn't want people toquestion its methods. It wants a population that can be easily manipulated and controlled so as to relinquish all its power to the elite.
There are those who say that critical thinking skills cannot be taught in schools. Socrates would likely scoff at that notion, were he still alive today. It was Socrates who said, "I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think." If we're going to solve the problem of indoctrination in our school system, we have to learn to begin asking questions instead of giving answers. Real learning is achieved through the investigative process. Children have to be encouraged to search for the answers themselves. It is up to the teachers to provide the tools and resources necessary for the children to conduct these inquiries and make meaningful discoveries. One well-formed question will do more to inspire than any number of answers. In every facet of our educational pursuits, it becomes crucial to begin an open dialogue with our students, to encourage healthy debate and to have them form their own conclusions.
The importance of teaching philosophy in schools cannot be underestimated. In a world where most of humanity is running on the treadmill with the blinders on, it is paramount that we re-evaluate our own perspectives from time to time, and look at the big picture. What teaching philosophy does is it gets us thinking, it gets us questioning, and it gets us contemplating. Without these skills, humanity will continue to function on autopilot, and we will allow those in power to continue to dominate, oppress and enslave us in every way.
We need to reclaim our own minds…

Juventus is one of the oldest and most important football teams in Italy. The club plays since the season 2011/2012 in a new stadium, 'The Juventus Stadium'. This stadium is one of a kind in Italy, because it was financed and owned by the club, which is really unique in Italy. The nickname 'La Vecchia Signora' (The old lady) was created in 2 parts. 'Signora' was the nickname, given by the fans during the 1920's. 'The old' was added by the opponents during the 1930's,because of the team kept on winning with quite an old team. This was a direct attack on the name 'Juventus' which means 'Youth' in Italian. Juventus won 33 league titles in the Serie A, which makes it the most successful team in Italy. They are also the first team which won all European cups (Europacup I, Europacup II and the UEFA Cup). Invite your clients to an evening of football in a wonderful setting.

text: Elizabeth + Randy, a fun-loving couple from Virginia, chose The Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation for their big day! This Magnolia Plantation wedding was romantic chic with rustic and elegant vibes, plus shades of ivory, nude, blush, and pops of coral, blush pink, and natural greens. Elizabeth, or "Cricket" as her family + friends lovingly call her, started the day off with hair by Elesyium and makeup by Bellelina. Elizabeth was a vision with a Queen Anne's lace flower crown and bouquet by WildFlowers that was brimming with peonies, hydrangeas, garden roses, ranunculus, astilbe, lisianthus, sweet pea, roses, and touches of Queen Anne's lace. Randy wore a white ranunculus boutonniere with a tuft of greenery and tied with an ivory ribbon to accent Elizabeth's bouquet. The nuptials took place on the oyster tabby under a clear tent to shield from the rainy day showers. And who says rain is bad luck on your wedding day? Randall's mouth dropped wide open when he first laid eyes on his elegant, stunning bride. Guests enjoyed drinks and mingling during cocktail hour until the bridal party and groomsmen were introduced into the reception. The bride + groom excitedly made their way in as "Mr. & Mrs. Randall Holmes" and immediately went into their first dance to "Once in a Lifetime" by Landon Austin. Guests were blown away by the reception design that included long and circular tables covered in ivory linens, custom dinner menus in gold font, ample candlelight in rustic gold votives, and tall floral arrangements in clear glass vases with smaller, scattered bud vases and clear glass cubes that all held the wedding florals. Chandeliers were covered with Queen Anne's lace and lush greenery, making for an eye-catching detail that we loved! Pure Luxe Bride softened up the space with ivory drape tiebacks from the ceiling and custom drape for the head table to complete this romantic design. Guests also admired the bride + groom's personal touches, such as the memory tables that Elizabeth + Randall put together with photos of their parents and grandparents, and an extra special piece with a vintage wedding veil from the mother of the bride. Their memory tables were a sentimental way to honor their loved ones who couldn't be there on their big day. Everyone was then treated to a delicious stationed meal by Good Food Catering that consisted of petit grilled lamb chops over cavatappi mac & cheese, grilled asparagus with prosciutto, and more! Post-dinner, wedding cake and s'mores were served while everyone got out on the dance floor to the sounds of DJ Rob Duren! The night ended as everyone danced to "Do You Love Me" by Contours and wished the newlyweds on their merry way! Wishing Elizabeth + Randall joy and happiness, and remembering this beautiful wedding!

Clinicians from Boston Children's Hospital authored a series of review articles published Nov. 13 in the December 2012edition of Current Opinion in Pediatrics to help assess the most up to date information on sport-related concussion.
Edited by Robert Tasker, MD, of the Brain Injury Center at Boston Children's Hospital, and Scott Pomeroy, MD, PhD, neurologist-in-chief at Boston Children's, the series covers basic science to evidence-based management, to long-term complications associated with the condition.
Together, the articles make a strong argument for adopting a new culture in our approach to youth sports. Pediatricians, parents, and their child or adolescent athlete each have clinical roles to play in sport-related concussion.
In a cover editorial, Tasker and Pomeroy note that our understanding of concussion's effects has a long way to go. Articles from Boston Children's Hospital experts also include:
Epidemiology, trends, assessment and management of sport-related concussion in United States high schools
Rejean Guerriero, Mark Proctor, Rebekah Mannixand William Meehan III (Boston Children's Hospital)
This review documents the rising number of high school athletes with sport-related concussions. Football has the highest number of concussions in high school; girls' soccer has the second highest. Coaches are starting to implement return-to-play guidelines.
Neuropsychological evaluation and management of sport-related concussion
Alex Taylor (Boston Children's Hospital)
Neuropsychological testing shows that concussion affects attention, concentration, speed of information processing and memory. Dr. Taylor discusses the role of testing in determining readiness for sports and school, and looks at differences by age.
Subacute concussion-related symptoms and postconcussion syndrome in pediatrics
Heidi Blume and Karameh Hawash (University of Washington and Boston Children's Hospital)
Some children develop a disabling "postconcussion syndrome" that lasts for weeks or months after injury (headache, poor balance, light and sound sensitivity, sleep dysregulation, cognitive deficits, emotional disturbance). This review looks at treatment options and discusses how the injury, pre-existing risk factors and psychosocial issues can interact to cause symptoms.

On 12 May 2010, the European Commission adopted a recommendation introducing an EU-wide method for classifying and reporting consumer complaints to be used by complaint bodies on a voluntary basis. The method is expected to deliver comparable complaints data that will provide crucial evidence as to which parts of the Internal Market are underperforming for EU consumers. This, in turn, will allow for a quicker and better targeted policy response at both national and EU level. Consumer complaints are a key indicator of market health. There are more than 700 organisations handling consumer complaints in Europe. But they use different classifications. As a result, comparison and overview are not possible, even at the national level. To facilitate the adoption of the method, the Commission will provide technical assistance such as free software.

Attractive, largely utilitarian design. Supports both SLI and CrossFireX.
No support for integrated video. Uses a UEFI that resembles BIOS in looks and interaction. Lacks some of its competitors' design and usability features. No USB 3.0 bracket included.
Bottom Line
Gigabyte's "mainstream" motherboard using Intel's P67 Express chipset is nicely appointed and designed, but lacks the polish and the lower price necessary to put it over the top.
Black is the new blue for Gigabyte. As one of its earliest second-generation Core ("Sandy Bridge") motherboards, the P67A-UD4-B3 ($189.99 list), demonstrates, the company is definitely leaving yesteryear's candy colors behind, at least for its more performance-oriented products. Unfortunately, not every aspect of this move to a sleeker motherboard is an improvement, and forward-thinkers will find this motherboard missing some features present in competing (and even less-expensive) models. If you're building an LGA1155-socket system, this reasonably well-appointed board will satisfy most of your needs. But you can do better.
Similar Products
As its name suggests, the P67A-UD4-B3 both features Intel's new B3 stepping (to eliminate the glitch detected in earlier boards equipped with Sandy Bridge technology), and uses the P67 Express chipset, which is one of the higher-functioning consumer models of the second-generation Core family. It supports one PCIe x16 slot or two PCIe x8 slots (the Gigabyte board goes for the latter, in addition to three PCIe x1 slots and two old-school PCI slots), with a total of eight PCIe lanes running at 5 GTps; 14 USB 2.0 ports; and a total of six on-board SATA ports (with two running the 6Gbps SATA III, rather than the slower SATA II).
The motherboard supports both Nvidia's Scalable Link Interface (SLI) and AMD's CrossFireX technologies for running multiple video cards, though only an SLI bridge comes in the box so you'll need to find a CrossFireX cable elsewhere if you want to use two AMD cards. (Because the P67 Express chipset does not support onboard video the way others do, such as the H67 Express chipset used in motherboards like the Intel Desktop Board DH67BL, you will need to install one or two video cards.) And rear-panel ports are a nice blend: eight USB 2.0, two USB 3.0 ports, two-way PS/2, S/PDIF, two eSATA, Ethernet, and eight-channel audio out.
Another nice extension is the long-overdue presence of an important piece of technology: a USB 3.0 header. It's terrific to finally have a method of adding two USB SuperSpeed ports to either your front or rear panels. But Gigabyte has not included an expansion-slot mounting bracket, and because no case we've yet seen supports this header, you probably won't be able to use it out of the box.
The board's design is otherwise largely sensible, and its all-black coloring, relieved only by a few streaks of blue to be found on the trim of the heat sinks, makes it look powerful and attractive in a way that previous blue-and-white Gigabyte boards haven't. There are two significant drawbacks, however. First, all four of the RAM bays are blackin order to be sure you're installing your memory in the correct ones to get the dual-channel speed boost, you have no choice but to consult your motherboard manual. Second, even the onboard SATA jacks match the color scheme3-Gbps SATA is black, 6Gbps SATA is white)but you don't get four of the faster kind on the Gigabyte board the way you do on the MSI P67A-GD65 (3.5 stars ,$179.99 list) or the Asus P8P67 Pro(4 stars, $179.99 list). True, those may be run off a separate chip, but they're still impressively useful additions.
Those two other boards also use the newer and more robust graphical UEFI in place of the traditional text-based BIOS. The P67A-UD4-B3 splits the difference, and not too effectively. Gigabyte has implemented a limited version of a UEFI that utilizes a BIOS-like interface; this gives you access to the full storage space and bootability potential of hard drives with capacities larger than 2.19TB, but the mouse-driven UEFI interface is such an improvement in terms of looks and usability that being forced to go the old-fashioned route makes you feel like you're missing something.
The good part about this is that you won't need to retrain yourself when it comes to overclocking; if you want to go this route, all the traditional tools and tricks work. If you feel a desperate need for a graphical interface, you can fire up the Easy Tune 6 app, which comes bundled on an included disc. But unless you want one-touch overclocking without having to get bogged down in the minutiae of timings and voltages, which is an option in the Windows-based program, it's just as easy to do your tweaking in the BIOS itself. That said, the hardware-based options, like MSI's OC Genie, are even easier for beginners.
The MSI board is also a (slightly) superior performer, when it comes to gaming at any rate. The Gigabyte motherboard earned 8,121 and a frame rate of 25.8 frame per second (fps) in our Futuremark 3DMark 11 CPU-pushing physics test; MSI's managed 8,480 at 26.92 fps. It also did better in our Futuremark PCMark Vantage Gaming test, with 10,091 to the Gigabyte's 9,394, and at video rendering in Cinebench R11.5: 6.83 versus 6.01. The boards' performance scores were otherwise very close in all other areas, though the Gigabyte board even pulled more power: 61.6 watts when idling (versus MSI's 59.3) and 136.6 watts under load in our AIDA64 stability test (compared with 130.7 watts for MSI).
It's the little touches and the little performance differences that nudge the Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 just to back of the P67 Express pack. Priced $10 more than either the Editors' Choice Asus P8P67 Pro or MSI P67A-GD65 boards, but possessing fewer tangible features than either, it's harder to recommend to those who are interested in either breadth depth of functionality. But those boards have much more traditional looks, with brighter (or, if you prefer, more garish) dollops of blue and black. If your case has a window in its side panel, and you want something sexy and subdued to show through the window, and everything else matters less, the Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 is the way to go.

Homemade Dog Biscuits - Great Kids Project!
It has been hot here in Ohio. And humid. A friend described the recent weather as "walking around inside someone's mouth." Indeed. Instead of enduring the wicked weather during the afternoon heat, I searched for indoor activities to occupy Lil's boundless energy in the relative cool of the air conditioning.
A few days ago, we made homemade dog biscuits. Making dog treats is a perfect activity for a young chef, as the recipe employs lots of fun techniques, the ingredients are cheap, and most dogs will eat anything you put in front of them.
I started by allowing Lil to measure 6 cups of flour while I put away laundry. You just might end up with a flour covered child if you do the same.
Next, she handled the pastry cutter to mix in the butter. See what the heat does to her face?!
Then came the stirring. Every child likes to mix dough. Every child does not love the smell of garlic powder.
Lil kneaded the dough with the muscle memory chant 'Turn, Fold, Press'. Here she is very serious demonstrating it:
I'll be honest - when we are making rolled Xmas cookies, I roll the dough myself. I consider dog biscuits the perfect dough on which Lil can practice. If her height is inconsistent, the cookies might cook unevenly, but the dogs still don't care.
Cookie cutters are my kid's best friend. She loves to use them. This time, she chose a turkey, dog bone, heart, and penguin shape. She cut the dog treats and placed them on the pan.
Lil watched the oven as they baked and kept guard as the biscuits cooled. With the help of my trusty semi-pro vent hood the house stayed cool even with the oven running for the time it took to cook the doggie treats.
Lil had to taste a treat herself. Is anyone else's kid obsessed with eating dog food?
Finally, the ultimate test - would Hawise eat a homemade dog biscuit?
Of course! She gobbled it faster than a popsicle drips on a hot summer day. I didn't get a great picture, but I assure you that the dogs love these things.
Economy Dog Cookies
adapted from McPherson's K-9 Cookbook
1/4 cup softened butter
3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup powdered skim milk
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup water
1 beaten egg
1. In a large mixing bowl, cut butter into flour with a pastry cutter or two alternating butter knives.
2. In a small bowl, dissolved powdered milk into water.
3. Whisk in egg.
4. Make a well in the flour mixture and gradually stir in egg mixture until well blended.
5. Knead dough on a floured surface about 3 - 4 minutes, or until dough sticks together and is easy to work with.
6. Roll dough with a rolling pin to between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thickness.
7. Cut into desired shapes. A fast and no-waste method is to cut into diamonds by making two rows of cuts at a steep angle, as pictured below.
8. Place on an un-greased cookie sheet.
9. Bake 40-50 minutes at 325 deg F.
10. Cook on a rack until hard. Store at room temperature in a container with a loose fitting lid.

Facebook Live: A New Social Media Tool For Musicians On The Rise
Getting your music and message to reach the ears of new listeners — potential new fans — has never been more possible than it is today. Social media sites like YouTube, Soundcloud, Twitter and Facebook have revolutionized the music industry by sharing and promoting new content and giving fans insights into the artists behind the music.
Facebook recently launched an exciting new feature that's the perfect platform for sharing the power of your music. Facebook Live allows you to stream a live broadcast to your friends and fans to see from anywhere in the world. Here's what you need to know about using Facebook Live and how to best apply this exciting new technology to promote your music and career.
Start a Conversation
Twitter heavyweights have been doing this for years. They promote Q&A sessions for a day or two and then open the lines of communication with their followers by offering to answer questions during an allocated time frame. This practice works best for accounts that have huge followings.
But what's even more engaging about Facebook Live broadcasts is that viewers can see the person they're interacting with in real time. Hosting a Q&A is one thing, but having a live discussion unfolding in real time has the ability to engage your viewers on a much more intense and personal level.
Consider using this feature during performances so viewers can see your stage presence from anywhere in the world. You can also go live during practice sessions to get followers excited about upcoming shows. Or just sit down and have a conversation about your goals, inspiration and influences. Write down a few talking points and pour your heart out. Encourage viewers to comment and ask questions so you can answer and engage in real time.
How to Get Viewers
Timing is everything when it comes to Facebook Live viewership. Live videos are more likely to pop up in news feeds than almost any other content, so you want to be sure and go live at a high traffic time. Even though Facebook Live broadcasts can be saved and watched on demand, they are most effective when broadcast live.
Promoting a live broadcast ahead of time is also a great way to ensure your followers won't miss it. You can also take the time to encourage viewers to turn on "Live Notifications" during your broadcast, so they will be always be notified of future performances or discussions.
Prepare to Go Live
The two most important things you can do before using Facebook Live is making sure you have a good Internet connection and suitable webcam. Nothing is worse than getting followers excited to watch your live broadcast, only to have the connection cut in and out and make communication impossible.
If you're staying in one spot throughout the broadcast, make sure to check the lighting and sound beforehand. And if you're on location, be sure to use a camera that's effective in a wide range of lighting conditions. Long battery life is also a concern, as Facebook Live streaming uses a lot of power and cellphone data. The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a 16-megapixel auto HDR camera and boasts a full 20 hours of talk time for a single charge, so your phone won't die while you're rocking out onstage.

Scalp PRP
Thinning hair is problematic for both men and women. Injecting platelet rich plasma (PRP) utilizes the body's own growth factors to stimulate hair growth in affected areas.*
The PRP increases blood flow and stimulates growth of hair through the injection of the stem cells isolated from your own blood.
PRP therapy causes the hair shaft to be thicker and decreases shedding. Optimal results are obtained with repeating PRP injections every 3-4 weeks until ideal results are achieved.*
This procedure can be combined with the Sunetics Clinical Hair Growth Laser
* Every patient is special and unique, and treatment results may vary from person to person.

Sierra Morel Hunting
Join us on a wild mushroom hunt with resident expert and chef Patrick Hamilton. This guy knows his stuff! With over 40 years of mushroom hunting experience, he'll help you find them, make sure you're picking the right ones, and tell you the best methods for cooking mushrooms that you discover. These are great classes for the beginner or veteran forager.
Where: Pollock Pines, CA
When: April - June dates available!
Click "Book It!" above to view all available classes.
Cost: $90 per person, plus booking fee
Duration: 3-4 hours (9:45am - 2pm)
The Sierra forays focus on morels and spring porcini, as well as other fine edibles most of you will never have seen--nor tasted!
We meet up in the Eldorado National Forest, close to where the mushrooms have been spotted on reconnaissance by Patrick, and then go into the woods (drive then hike) at various areas in the hope of picking your dinner. There are rather high elevations (around 7,000'), so do be prepared if you get elevation sickness. Please, bring plenty of water, bring aspirin, wear a hat and sunscreen. Mosquito repellent is also a good idea for some spots too.
These forays are a bit different than our coastal ones, which focus more on teaching about varieties of mushrooms. These are all about trying to find premium morels and porcini! There are no guarantees in mushrooming, but recons will have been done the best spots which offer the best opportunities for finding both morels and spring porcini will be explored.
To hear what some of our past walkers have to say, check out our Yelp reviews.
Frequently Asked Questions:

Characterized by sleek, slender trees swaying in the wind and calm green waters, Mabul Island or Pulau Mabul is located 15 minutes away from Sipadan Island. This journey can be taken via speedboat. Being in the vicinity of the Sipadan Island, most of the tourist traffic gets diverted to this region as well, which hence defines its credibility of being a visit place.
Located on the northwest corner of a 200 hectare reef, Mabul Island is a small, oval-shaped, level and flat island with sandy beaches. Small marine life dominates the area in the sandy bottoms on the coral reefs and in close proximity to the man-made reefs. Ostentatious and eye-catching cuttlefish, metallic shrimp, bobtail squid and blue-ringed octopus is to be found here.
Features of Mabul Island
Read on to know what you can do on this beautiful island, which is considered an ultimate destination for tourists, especially who love muck diving:
Macro Paradise
Macro life is what Mabul Island boasts about the most, as it is a natural abode to a rich diversity of species that attracts underwater photographer's to explore and capture some of the scarcest and rare ecological species on the movie. The bio-diversity at Mabul Island is categorized as something to be not found elsewhere, hence giving it the unique touch.
The underwater world has been inhabited and preoccupied by a multitude of rare ecological species, evoking great interest on the part of the macro photographer. Multi-colored nudibranchs, devil scorpionfish, mandarin fish, snake and ribbon eels, crocodile fish, stonefish and the never-ending list goes on and on. The island is hence a habitat for all.
Muck Diving
The scuba diving community as known internationally, lists Mabul Island as one of the top notch ones on the list & it is also one of the best diving spots in Kota Kinabalu Sabah. Muck diving is something which has recently gained momentum and is a field of particular interest for scuba divers of all categories. It is characterized by shallow diving sites, encompassing encounter with rare and preposterous little critters, appropriately termed as macro-life. With the inexhaustible and boundless visibility and easily identifiable reef and pelagic life, Mabul Island presents you the most unusual and uncanny marine life ever on a platter.
The best sites for Muck-Diving are Seaventure, Froggy Lair, Eel Garden, Lobster Wall and Crocodile Avenue. You can also opt for snorkeling as few sites near to sea shore are ideal for it. You can do snorkeling at Lobster Wall or Paradise Reef.
The inexorable underwater life can be laid to rest for some while, while you enjoy sun-basking on Mabul's soft sand.
The Diving Season
December to March is specifically identified as the rainy season hence, the other months besides these are most opportune to dive in and quench your diving thirst. The dry season is from March to September when visibility is not so good, yet it is of not a much serious concern as macro life is discoverable during muck diving.

There are no restaurants and café on the island, but you can have your meal at the restaurants of hotels and lodges.
Where to Stay?
Obviously, when embarking on a journey to these exotic islands, one books an accommodation in a worthwhile resort. On days when Sipadan Island is not your to-do-list you can explore Mabul Island, where the critters are found in abundance.
The island is full of resorts that cater to all age groups, from a budget resort to a stilted bungalow luxury. The local rates apply for Malaysians, Singaporeans and expatriates with work permits and the difference is quite huge from the international market. For example a 2 day and 1 night stay in a Junior Cottages (Twin Only), the diver's package is for MYR 960 and MYR 2720 for locals and international visitors respectively.

Reef Summary
The reef is good for small animals, underwater photography and beginner diverse, but on the other hand it is not so good for visibility and non-diving activities. The depth of the reef is calculated to be 5-20m, whereas its visibility is 5-15m. The water temperature generally recorded is 27-29°C and the surface conditions are calm. Divers either beginner or expert can easily dive in here.
Hence, if you are planning to visit Mabul Island then you can plan your stay for approximately 5-14 days, because there is so much to do with 12 diving sites here. This island can be reached within 25 minutes from Sipadan and if you are coming from Kapalai then it is about at a distance of 5 km

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: martinibuster
With over 50 researchers dedicated to developing Microsoft's next generation advertising technologies, Google has very big competition heading its way.
Google's online advertising business has been operating for some time now with barely any competition, but all that is about to change. Microsoft has announced that it has created what it calls the AdCenter Incubation Lab, a center focused on developing advertising technologies.
The AdCenter according to Microsoft, is said to be home to more than 50 researchers, all dedicated to developing new technologies for target advertising programs. Microsoft is looking at developing technologies that are smart enough to insert targeted campaigns into video feeds and audio broadcasts. Microsoft is saying that it will test out the new lab at is headquarters in the US with hopes to be very competitive with Google and Yahoo in a short time. With its vast resources, Microsoft should have no problems becoming a big player in the online advertising industry.
NOT going to happen. There is NO WAY that MS can over take Googles position as the #1 contextual Ad server, because they waited too long and the ship has left...
Yahoo failed... that's why YHOO stock was sold off after hours today - They came upo short onn their revenue projections and shareholders don't like that...
If Yahoo couldn't compete effectively against Google AdSense... how the HECK do you think Microsoft is going to do it? MS has MUCH LESS search users, therefore much less traffic to potentially monetize... AND they can't improve upon it because they already lost the average Netizen attention...
Even MS' much ballyhooed improved SERPS has failed to increase usage... Bill Gates became complacent with his success and now the competition is kicking his butt (but he is a BILLIONARE so it doesn't matter so much to him - just his inflated ego)
Bottomline, Google wisely generaled en-masse the small publishers, when all the "Big Boy's" scoffed at us and woound' allow us in THEIR original ad programs because we didn't have the Million+ visitor counts they demanded... Now they are coming and begging us small publishers to join their new programs...
I DON'T THINK SO! If I my work wasn't "good enough" for Yahoo & Microsoft originally... I sure in HELL am not going to help them try them in their desperate battle to beat Google - who has been a good & decent business partner from day one.
Heck... Google accepts just about anyone into their program automatically... You have to PROVE yourself unworthy for Google to kick you out...
I just can't see Yahoo or Microsoft attracting the significant numbers of small publishers that it would take to match or surpass Google's AdSense program earnings. And it takes the hundreds of thousands small publishers' web sites to generate the amount of money top satisfy Wall Street investors...
Yahoo & Microsoft are on the ropes and desperate!
(sure they will survive - BUT they are NOT the number 1 tech companies anymore)
MS has MUCH LESS search users, therefore much less traffic to potentially monetize
"yahoo failed" well I wouldnt be so sure about this. at least on my niche (I talk and share with dozens of webmasters thats have the same type of websites as mine) and I can safely say that about 80% switched to yahoo and they are mostly satisfied, in fact they very happy the switched to yahoo because they have better customer service and better payouts.
as you, I started with google before I tried YPN, and all I have to say about google is that they are great, no complaint at least from me and Im pretty satisfied with thier network. however Im also testing waters with YPN and same, so far Im happy with their network.
of curse it is going to be very tough for YPN and MSN to take over the #1 place, but Im sure they can manage to stay in business and why not be on the top #3 for sure, each of them having their publishers and making $ for both parties. I wouldnt think YPN and MSN will fail on this, they both have millions invested in this proejcts, and the internet is big enough for the 3 internet gigants.
just my 2 cents farmboy :)
NOT going to happen. There is NO WAY that MS can over take Googles position as the #1 contextual Ad server, because they waited too long and the ship has left...
Sure they can. Pay publishers more. People follow money.
Yahoo failed... that's why YHOO stock was sold off after hours today - They came upo short onn their revenue projections and shareholders don't like that...
By a penny.
If you had money to invest, would you invest it in a company that has one major revenue stream or a company that has more than one?

Yahoo failed...
But I do expect alot more from Microsoft. MS has plans to release AD SUPPORTED OS. (:D) . Sounds CRAZY but its a fact.
Microsoft is a research based company and I respect the way it plans its policies and marketing strategies. I have listened to Bill Gates talking in an interview and believe me, It will take anyone of us atleast 1 month to 1 year to even think like he does. Doesnt seems like he is EGO hit by his body language. He is a pure genuis. (the ones who oppose my point here, I know alot of people do oppose, I will advise them to think with an OPEN MIND. I mean, you need to more than LUCKY or INTELLIGENT to build such a large empire in such a short time)
But Mr Gates, use some of your grey matter to improve your searching algorithm too. Its of no use to launch a PPC Network without a good SE.
I cant believe Yahoo launched its Advertiser network when its Searching Algorithm isnt perfect. Yahoo is more of a COPY PASTE company. Its policy is "Aquire or partner with the company and add it as a section in your website." And I dont believe that a good SE can be made by mere COPY PASTE.
I have heard many times that MS or GOOGLE is doing an Experiment or some research. Have you ever heard Yahoo is doing an experiment or Research?
In the end, those companies will suceed that have something original to offer.
Google is still number one and will remain in that position for a while, but it's all about the money. If MS or Yahoo decides to increase payouts for ad clicks, many webmasters will begin to seriously consider them.
Its about services too and the relevancy of ads that a Network delivers.
Suppose you are getting ads not relevant to your content from Yahoo, it will result in your CTR decrease and stuff like that. (untill and unless these networks let you feed keywords too around which your content is)
I dont know why these networks dont allow us to feed the keywords. Like I wont ask for "Web hosting" ads on a "Hair loss" website. It will decrease my CTR and nothing else.
I'm not suggesting that webmasters will switch to Yahoo or MS if an advertisers ad about "How to clean mayonaise off of a refrigerator door", pays $3.50/click with Yahoo/MS, but only $.50/click at Google.
Sure, some folks will be driven by the money, but I think Yahoo and MS will do a similar job at filtering ads.
Speaking of "filtering".... are you using your competitive ad filter to block those unwanted ads?
That is probably the only thing you can do right now.
I will rather throw one more site (quality content site - not a SH*T) in that time that will earn more. ;-)
But I really wish that SEs cud let us define the keywords with which we want to display ads.
Payout to publishers is just a piece of the pie. When you do several million visitors a month like we do a few other things count like
-ontime payment
-direct deposit
-reliable semi stable earnings
-smooth interface
-excellent reporting
-excellent support
So far in these respects G owns Y hands down. And no Y, I am not coming back so stop sending me emails:)
Chitika is a PPC engine that lets you define keywords. Thats a great thing about it.

Just wait till Windows Vista hits pcs all over the world.
MSN was tightly integrated into Windows 95, which had an MSN icon on the desktop. That didn't make MSN the "AOL-killer" that a lot of people (including some at Microsoft) were predicting.
They do not need traffic to make it big, they only need to pay publishers more, attract advertisers...
Google is already paying nearly 80% of its AdSense revenues to partners. It's hard to see MSN being able to improve on that for any length of time.
Plus, Google doesn't reveal its compensation formula, and that makes it harder to cherry-pick its publisher base. What will probably happen is that unsuccessful Google publishers will try MSN (as some have tried YPN), leaving Google with the publishers who make good money for Google, advertisers, and themselves.
Another challenge will be building a critical mass of advertisers. Google has a huge head start, with ads for untold thousands of esoteric topics.
Another thing that would hold them back is that not everybody uses CSS, an awful lot of sites, mine included, would require the hand editing of every page.
You don't need CSS to change ads in one fell swoop.

We tried YPN for about 36 hours on our network then promptly ripped it out due to the horrible targeting and "cloogy" backend

You know it is never as black and white as who will pay that extra 1 or 2% and get the advertisers, there is not one publisher here that will not jump onto a good opportunity to diversify the earnings
If you really want to diversify your earnings, you can do it without using multiple contextual networks. (Display ads and affiliate sales can work well, depending on your topic.)
even if MSN and Yahoo pay 5% less, they can still make it up with improvements in formats, relevancy and quality advertisers (as you said)
Sure, they can (at least in theory), but will they? And what's to keep Google from doing the same?
btw I think there is a consensus here that 80% is only a special case for few publishers.
Are you suggesting that MSN and YPN wouldn't pay higher percentages to "premium partners," too?
I've got nothing against MSN or YPN, but if they want to make inroads into Google's publisher and advertiser base, they'll need to compete with an AdWords/AdSense network that's unlikely to be a stationary target.

Plasmid Land: The Plasmid Cloning Game
When the average person asks, "What is a plasmid?" we sometimes struggle to give them a basic answer. Plasmids are circular fragments of double-stranded DNA that can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA. Today, scientists can easily study and manipulate genes and other genetic elements using specifically engineered plasmids. Plasmids are essential tools for our understanding of basic biology and for making advances in medical research.
Addgene is a nonprofit plasmid repository that helps scientists share plasmids. We have created this board game for you to play during your incubation times in the lab or to teach your young children a little about what you do all day.
The game gives a very basic overview of creating a plasmid through molecular cloning. It begins with PCR and restriction enzyme digestion, followed by DNA ligation. The process proceeds to transformation, DNA purification and verification by diagnostic digest and sequencing. With a bit of lab humor worked in, of course.
We encourage scientists to share this game and Addgene's plasmid reference and molecular cloning resource with those who need a simple explanation of the topic. See below for instructions for how to add this game to your website. Enjoy!

There is something so sweet about being able to dress up all over again and reminisce about your wedding day for your anniversary, it makes my sappy romantic heart turn to mush. Sabrina and Banu were married last year in Virginia and wanted to do something special for their first anniversary and unseasonably warm weather gave us the most beautiful day to shoot outside of Phipps Conservatory and the Carnegie Museum. These two have the most light-hearted sense of humor and the sweetest of loves.
Sabrina and Banu, thanks so much for letting me take your portraits again, I hope you have so many amazing adventures together in your new home of Chicago!

Section 5A: Lien upon real estate of certain recipients of veterans' benefits
Section 5A. In every case where the applicant for or a recipient of benefits under this chapter is a dependent mother or father, as defined in section one, with an interest in one or more parcels of real estate and the fair market value of such interest is more than fifteen hundred dollars, an instrument signed and acknowledged by the veterans' agent of the town granting such benefits and giving notice of a lien upon each such parcel for all benefits granted and to be granted under this chapter by such town to such mother or father, who shall be named therein, shall, not earlier than three days, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays excluded, after a like instrument has been sent by certified mail to such mother or father, be recorded in the records of the county, or of the district, if such county is divided into districts, where each parcel lies, without the payment of any fee for such recording. Every such instrument shall contain a description sufficient to identify each parcel of real estate subject to the lien, and upon recording shall create a lien upon so much of such mother's or father's interest as has a fair market value in excess of fifteen hundred dollars, which lien shall be superior to any deed, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance thereafter recorded. Whenever such lien is satisfied or is ordered discharged as hereinafter provided, an instrument signed and acknowledged by such veterans' agent and reciting such fact shall be given; and upon the recording of such instrument, such lien shall be dissolved.
Such lien shall be enforceable in the superior court for the county where any parcel of the real estate lies by a petition in equity brought by the veterans' agent against all persons appearing of record to be interested in the real estate subject to such lien, whether as equity owners, mortgagees, lienors, attaching creditors or otherwise. Such petition shall allege the amount claimed under such lien and incorporate a certified copy of the recorded instrument creating such lien. At any time before final decree, the court, of its own motion or upon the suggestion of any party, may issue a precept to any other person appearing to have an interest, directing him to appear on or before a specified day or be forever barred from redeeming from such lien. Proceeds realized through any such enforcement shall be apportioned between the commonwealth and the town granting the benefits in proportion to the amount of their respective contributions thereto, but in no case for more than the amount contributed, without interest. No lien under this section shall be enforceable until after the death of both mother and father, and then only when written permission has been obtained from the commissioner, who, in his discretion, may, if undue hardship might be caused by enforcement, waive enforcement in whole or in part, and order a discharge to the extent waived. If the veterans' agent neglects or refuses promptly to refer the enforcement of a lien under this section to the commissioner for his approval, or to bring a petition within the period specified by the commissioner, the commissioner shall thereupon bring the petition in his own name; and in such event, all proceeds shall be retained by the commonwealth.
A veterans' agent, subject to the prior approval of the commissioner, may by an agreement in writing, consent to subordinate any such lien to a mortgage, if in the opinion of the commissioner such mortgage is required for necessary repairs to the real estate subject to such lien.
Such lien shall be dissolved and be unenforceable upon the expiration of twenty years from the date of the recording in the register of deeds of the county wherein said real estate lies.
Any conveyance of real estate by a mother or father within two years before an application for veterans' benefits, unless for fair market value, shall be deemed to be in avoidance of the provisions of this section and shall make such mother or father ineligible to receive veterans' benefits.
The provisions of this section shall not be applicable if the applicant for or the recipient of veterans' benefits is the dependent mother or father of a person who while in the armed forces of the United States during wartime was killed in action or died from service connected disability incurred in wartime service.
