FITT360 - Wear it Anywhere and "Selflessly" Catch "Your Scene"
FITT360, one of the two "First Person Shooter" 360º cameras I saw at CES. Both claim to be the first and only! Very interesting and encouraging to see this new category of 360º photography emerge at this time. This whole sector will depend on content, storytelling and distribution posibilities, but devices and apps like this really turn things on. A very wearable design, around the neck so handsfree water/heatproof, with three cameras on board and fixing/steadying/stitching in the Smartphone App. For taking "selfless" situational selfies (without you in them). Great idea and I am excited, but a Crowdfunded/preorder product, not yet fully baked so I will let them make the claims! (I have added a few points in brackets)
Connected to the Cloud, the FITT360 automatically saves all of your footage with a single tap on the mobile application.
With shareable VR-Ready contents, your loved ones at home can enjoy your point of view in real time.
Smart Camera – Connected System – VR Ready
Full HD 360° Recording – Up to 90 Minutes
3 Full HD Cameras surrounding the (neck worn) FITT360 captures surroundings of each user in the True First Person View (FPV) with up to 90 minutes of recording time.
Companion mobile application "FITT360" compensates and normalize the exposures in all 3 clips and Auto-Stitch them while minimizing the shaking of the clips to be VR-Ready.
Embedded Image Stabilization on the software sides minimizes the shakings of the device to optimize your video quality.
Technology is coming from LINKFLOW who has been producing wearable security cameras for First responders and military.
I will be watching this space. Real ones later this year or at least by CES2019 please!
Raven Connected Car - IoT, IoMe, IoCar + Secure Connectivity & Artificial Intelligence all disguised as a Dash Cam!
Contextual technology gathered up and situational relevance and intelligence added. To call this security conscious "vehicle-to (and from)-everything" platform a Dash Cam is a bit of an injustice to the scope of this connected car ecosystem. Connects directly to the car's OBD port so know's what's going on internal to the vehicle systems and puts that into the contexts of info, location plus driver and family to deliver valuable set of person centric capabilities. The feature list is long, but the Raven, with cameras looking out and in and all knowing connectivity delivers peace of mind while driving. Not just for driver and passangers, but for family as well. This caught my eye because of what the overall technology combination delivers when the IoCar intelligently intersects with access to information, the IoT and IoMe and mine.
So many stated features. Here's what they say. (my comments in parenthesis)
Raven gives cars the intelligence and voice needed to proactively communicate with drivers and their families, making them smarter, safer and more connected while on the road.
At home, at work or a thousand miles away, Raven's always-on and always-connected system gives family members and car lovers unprecedented peace of mind with:
* Live streaming camera views, both road-facing and in-cabin
* Security alerts (car broken into?)
* Departure and arrival notifications (mapping)
* Driving reports (even capture time lapse synopsis of journey)
* Gesture controls (and voice commands coming soon)
* Next-turn navigation
* Weather condition updates
* Vehicle diagnostics
* Wi-Fi hotspot
Raven unmasks the sophistication and intelligence locked under the hood in today's vehicles and makes it readily accessible to drivers.
Raven has been designed and engineered from the ground up by a highly accomplished team passionate about best in-class performance and user experiences.
(The connectivity to the web and to a defined group of friends and family is a real value proposition understated here) Worth a visit to the Raven Website for more details on use cases and how it works.
Hubblo VR - Real-time reality - 3D360º videos of "happenings" and selfies.
I"m hot on what I call "Time Shifted Reality", but this device claims "Real Time" Reality in 3D360º splendour for those who can't be in the right place at the right time. So anyone who wants to expand their audience for immersive experiences beyond a physical location can simply do it with the push of a button. Hubblo VR leads a new era of personal broadcasting with an all-in-one, hardware-driven social VR platform that live-streams 3D360º videos of programming, "happenings" and even selfies.
More than just a camera, Hubblo offers a whole personal broadcasting service.
Throwing a party? Panono Captures it All!
Panono is a throwable panoramic ball camera which captures everything in every direction for amazing 108 megapixel, 360° X 360° full-spherical panoramic images. It has an unprecedented 36 cameras that trigger simultaneously in the air to deliver images that capture every detail in every direction with a super-high resolution of 108 megapixels. 11cm in diameter and weighs 480 grams and connects over WiFi with iOS and Andriod Apps.The Panono Camera is available for preorder.
360º photography - Giroptic 360CAM
Another innovation that is paving the way to to 360º virtual reality is GIROPTIC's 360cam. It produces content that can be played back on any screen and device without any processing. It instantly captures your greatest moments from all angles using three cameras (185º lenses) it records full spherical photos and videos as a .jpg still or .mp4 file video.
The rugged rubberised unit can be mounted on a selfie mono/tripod or with an accessory, screwed into a light socket to be powered and capture all that is happening 24/7.
Carry it to take with you anywhere.
olloclip Studio, another simple, but great Innovation
Just a few very cleverly designed bits of plastic, but turns an iPhone into a full function camera rig. You don't even need a camera bag for this one, just a pocket or two.
olloclip Studio is the combination of an all-new, more protective case design that incorporates an integrated rail mounting solution and a series of mobile photography accessories. Great for the explorer/adventurer in you that wants to capture the scene and sounds wherever you go but also potentially, all one needs to become a full fledged blogger or news reporter. Great for interviews with a mike and wide angle lens on board your iphone. Case and accessories work together the moment you pick them up so you can focus on capturing the opportunity in front of you and not on building a rig.
olloclip Studio is comprised of the new protective Studio Case to withstand most accidental drops. It also includes an innovative mounting system for standard accessories - mono/tripods, lighting/flash, microphones, plus a portfolio of olloclip macro, wide angle, fisheye and telephoto lenses.
Nice one olloclip. You Caught My Eye again this year!
Glasses with Image Capture Capabilities
Those who feel a bit self conscious wearing a GoPro on their helmet or hat, especially when on the street, might be interested in glasses that have somewhat concealed cameras on board. These have been in the Spy Tech category in the past. But given that a high percentage of the demos by the Google folks of Glass and some of the emerging applications for Smart Glasses (such as real estate agents creating a house tour) seem to be mostly about video capture, it was interesting to see so many camera glasses at CES.
Most of these have simple button controls and autonomously store quite a lot of video or still images to be downloaded via USB or SD card.
Of note in this category of Smart Glasses are these four shown - Epiphany, XOEye, Orcam and Liquid Image plus one company who I couldn't find at CES, but reviewed recently - Nemesis (product SunnyCam).
Each one has features that differentiate (e.g. Liquid Image for SCUBA divers!) but are fundamentally concealed cameras that you wear on your face.
A bag full of lenses for your iPhone in your shirt pocket?
olloclip lenses for iPhone were one of my favourites from last year at CES and they pleasantly surprised me this year when I saw them at Showstoppers with a whole range of new lenses and multi-lens combinations. The ones that most impressed me were the Macrolens combinations, 7X, 14x and 21X all in one package. Also a new telephoto plus polarizing filter combo and a 4-in-1 fisheye, Wideange and two Macro combinations. With a few of these in your pocket you can capture just about anything on an iPhone. The combination of the wide angle plus the new Pano capability in the iPhone camera App makes a powerful combination to capture 360° or panoramic scenes. Well done olloclip!
Keep your phone dry!
Dry Case keeps your phone or camera dry to 100 feet by using vacuum sealed technology. Has facilities for headphones and mike jack and is crystal clear for taking photos. Comes with a bulb to pump out all the air and a buoyant armband as well to keep it afloat should you turn it loose while in the water. Dry Case has waterproof headphones and mike and several styles of waterproof and floating bags and backpacks. Some with strong suction cups on them to attach to you ski or surf board. Impressive stuff for extreme sports types. Or normal people too.
As a rower/sculler on the Thames I can see the value of both the phone cases and the backpacks, not just for splashes, but the occasional capsize!
Looq Systems "Selfie" Pole!
As reported by the BBC the word "selfie" has been declared the most important new word of 2013 by the Oxford dictionaries. How relevant to have a product that is an APPcessory to your smartphone that is easy to carry, but extends your reach so you can take that all important "selfie" or to get your camera above the crowd. It even has a button by your finger to snap the picture with!
it's from Looq Systems

Join me, and an amazing panel of other guest speakers, for this special event here in Seattle. I'll be signing copies of my latest book, The Gospel of Kink after the event.
[When] Tuesday, August 20, 2013 [Time] 7:00pm until 9:00pm
[Where] Neighbours Nightclub 1509 Broadway Seattle, Washington 98122
Seattle is a national leader in supporting all areas of sexuality. In fact, Seattle has a robust and active sex positive community to prove it. With annual events such as the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival, community centers like the Center for Sex Positive Culture, and more, it is plain to see that the city is home to many people that believe the appropriate uses of sex extend beyond reproduction.
This community discussion, like all SOSes events, is open to the LGBTQ and Allied Communities. It does not matter what sexual orientation you identify as, gender you express, or if you are gender nonconforming. ALL are welcome.
According to the Center for Sex Positive Culture officials, the appropriate use of sex includes "creating personal pleasure, bonding intimate relationships, promoting spiritual growth, and enhancing emotional and physical health. In a sex positive world, everyone has the freedom and resources to pursue a fulfilling and empowering sex life."
In August, Social Outreach Seattle's INTERSECTIONS program will focus its community conversation on this culture. A panel of guest speakers will be on-hand to educate, answer questions, and some might even perform demonstrations for the Sex Positive Culture – Sex Without Shame discussion. Guest speakers will be representative of the sex positive culture and guests are reminded that this is an 18 + event, due to the content. As more information is made available, we will post to this page and you can always check for updates at www.socialoutreachseattle.com.
There is a $5 suggested donation at the door.

The Vancouver Canucks hosted their 2009 "State of the Franchise" event Thursday evening, bringing in season ticket holders and invited guests to get a look inside the Canucks management team and insight into their thoughts on the state of the club.
First off, I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend, and the Canucks put out quite a spread for their guests, with food, activities and photo ops with Canucks prospects.
So thanks to my friend Alan and to the Canucks!
We got some key insight on the view from the Canucks management on their three most promising up-and-comers.
Cory Schneider, Michael Grabner and Cody Hodgson appear poised to battle hard for roster spots this coming season. By all accounts, if they battle as hard as expected, they are all likely to have spots on the big league bench, come October.
The praise was spewing like a geyser for Hodgson in particular. The management team made no secret that they think the world of him and they seem to expect big things from him. They did temper their enthusiasm somewhat by expressing that Hodgson won't make the team until he's ready. It was clear to me that Gillis and the rest feel he's going to be ready this fall.
Gillis also stated that the Canucks are still in the market for another defenseman for their line-up. We'll see if that happens via trade or free agent acquisition, but he did openly address the hole in the Canucks roster at the back end.
The biggest highlight of the event came when discussing the process of arbitration. Barry McDonald, the evening's moderator, asked Gillis if a relationship with a player can become fractured if he loses an arbitration hearing. Gillis replied (and I'm paraphrasing) "The only thing fractured in a meeting with Kyle would be if we brought a scale.", which resulted in an equal amount of gasps and laughter from the crowd. Gillis was quick to reply to that by saying that Wellwood has a great sense of humour and that he likes him a lot.
Kudos to Mike for being ballsy enough to say that in front of your most faithful patrons, but I'm sure he wouldn't have said that if he thought Wellwood would be offended by that.
If nothing else, the evening proved that he has a very good relationship with his players, and a wicked sense of humour.
I look forward to seeing who the Canucks target for their defensive pickup, and how the top 3 prospects fare when the fall comes.
We'll see how things round into shape in the next two months. Sorry, Kyle, that wasn't directed at you.
Go Canucks!
– Cam Davie

The work of David Lynch in film is unparalleled, to say the least. But when it comes to the cake pop artistry sphere, there are few who can challenge Miss Insomnia Tulip's skill and talent.
You might have heard about Miss Insomnia Tulip before when her anatomical macarons and Women in Horror cake pop series went viral. She's back again with another deliciously artistic creation, this time featuring the work of David Lynch. Hit the break for more–including the cake pop for Twin Peaks, which happens to be my favorite from her series.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A 9-2 run that spanned both halves lifted visiting Springfield College to a 15-9 victory over MIT in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's lacrosse game on Saturday night. Kaitlyn Nealon led the Engineers (8-4, 2-2 NEWMAC) with four goals while Jackie Moscardelli racked up a game-high seven points on five goals and two assists for the Pride (8-4, 4-0 NEWMAC).
Moscardelli opened the game with back-to-back goals which were matched by Nealon. The back-and-forth scoring continued throughout the half with MIT's Laura Wacker connecting on a pass from Katie Kauffman to tie the contest at five at the 7:13 mark. Three minutes later, Moscardelli sparked Springfield's game-changing run as a 3-1 spurt gave the Pride an 8-6 edge at the intermission.
Goals by Moscardelli and Nicole Soucie quickly increased Springfield's cushion early in the second stanza. Stephanie Leger redirected a feed from Kauffman, narrowing the gap to three (10-7) with 19:23 left to play. This was as close as it would get for the Cardinal and Gray as the Pride responded with four straight goals during the next seven minutes to take control of the game.
Leger and Wacker both finished with two goals while Leger's three draw controls put her in a three-way tie for first place on MIT's career draw control list. In addition to her two assists, Kauffman registered four draw controls as Molly McShane posted two groundballs, one caused turnover, and a goal. Alex Wright notched four draw controls, three groundballs, and a caused turnover while Kelly Duncan added two groundballs. In net, Sarah Ritter collected nine saves.
Meagan Dobson totaled three goals, two assists, and three groundballs as Meghan Flanagan chipped in two goals and an assist. Megan O'Brien scored twice while Soucie contributed one goal, one assist, and three groundballs. Kelly Foley compiled five draw controls and three groundballs as Mackenzie Vita led the way with four groundballs. Anne Versprille gathered 10 saves for Springfield.

My pet project
Having my own tea lounge is an idea has been brewing for a year now. A year ago, I was seeing someone in SD, we hopped in a popular local cafe for late night desserts. Loose leave tea is offered by the cafe, there must be 20+ varieties, plus specialty coffee from famous coffee producing regions all over the world. To my taste, they are mediocre (both coffee and tea, even their desserts), but far more superior than most restaurants have to offer. I was shamelessly bragging about my good tea and skill to my date, and he agreed. I jokingly said to him, I could have done better than this. Well, that idea got stuck to my head since, tickled my hidden fancy often enough that I decided to pursuit it.
My family had been in the food industry since I was 15. We had 3 restaurants in a couple of large mid-west cities. Medium size dine in, fast food to a full scale 4000 sq ft full liquor licensed dine in restaurant. Yeah, I can make a few good drinks other than tea. ;) Growing up with such back ground has definitely planted an entrepreneurial root in every vein of mine. I truly believe the 3 key factors required for an event to take place and succeed in old Chinese wisdom: timing, location and harmony of human, 天 時, 地 利, 人 和. In my 20s, running a business was overwhelming, time and personal life must be sacrificed. Timing wasn't right and my heart was not harmonious with the business. I even had dreams that I was burned as sacrifice for some mysterious god like creatures, whom devoured my cooked physical being and my screaming spirit struggled to escape in a vaguely visible smoke form. I constantly reminded myself never to run another restaurant ever. Climbing the corporate ladder became the next trendy thing to catch on. I liked the uneventfulness of having a 9 to 5 job, as soon as I got out of work, worry free is a sensation I was not familiar with, but it felt good. I needed a break from running a business, and it turned out to be a long 7 years break. Living by other's bureaucracy for 7 years is as much as I can take. Ooooh, the 7 years itch! 3 weeks of vacation time is just not enough to satisfy my travel crave. It's one thing to change direction of your life/career, it's an other to change who you are, what you are born to do, and passionate about.
My cooking/entertaining skill also took a back seat, the only time to whip them out are holidays, when friends and families get together. House parties up to 120 guests, with themes, seafood, BBQ and traditional Chinese food. Food has got the grease to bind friendships together smoothly. Friends are always curious why not open my own restaurants, there were even a couple of investors with serious offers. I like cooking to a degree that I am not stressed out about people yelling at me where are their orders. Cooking at leisure is what I love, but it's too labor intensive in a commercial environment. I shy away from any thoughts of having my own restaurant.
In 2001, a year after I learned about kungfu tea, a family friend suggested I should have my own tea house since I am so intensely passionate about it. His father a tea veteran for 50-60 years offered to be my purchasing agent in China and Hongkong. Not having any thoughts of owning my own business at the time, due to lack of knowledge of the industry and tea itself, the tea house idea was way far back in my mind. My interest in tea gradually transcended from self-indulgence to a bigger picture over time, years to be exact. Working in a large health organization constantly expose me to the subject of preventative care, how to change the way we live for better health, in turn, of course save them money - lots of money on long term care. Health care industry learned that it's MUCH cheaper to spend money early on for scheduled check ups, nutrition advisory, educational seminars for 10's thousands members than spending millions on ONE transplant case. My objective is solely to avoid suffocation of pain and immobility inflicted by any illness. Looking young is not a bad bonus either. Tea becomes part of the solution of self-care health regiment. No one can take care of your own health better than yourself. You must have the will, you must have the drive to take care of yourself. It's not just the EGCG that gives you the health benefit, the practice of kungfu tea, the calming environment it provides, the tranquility it promotes are all parts of healthy living. Physical health comes from within - good mental health and clean colon track. Having over 20 years of chronic auto-immune deficiency syndrome, I learn that a peaceful mind is the key ingredient to healing, and tea is my salvation. The task to discover peace is daunting, and it only comes from your own experience no matter how many times you have heard how great it is for you from others. It's my mom's job to keep feeding me those messages, and I thank her for implanting them in my subconscious mind tirelessly. Maybe I am a bit of a rebel, I took the time and heartaches to learn this important life lesson. Most people would interpret peaceful mind as some one never gets upset, never show anger and such. Maybe it would be eventually, but my current stage of peaceful mind is to let out all the negative emotions in a non violent or destructive manner without interfering or hurting others when necessary, while building up tolerance and understanding of human mind which dictates our behavior. You must expel toxins in order to have a clean mind, repressing it internally will only snow ball an explosive break down in the future. Tea is an important and intricate part of my life.
A change from the health angle, tea culture has drawn my interest deeper and deeper, without a specific goal, it was just an obsession for self indulgence at the beginning. In recent years, movies made in China featuring century old houses and furniture tweaked my interest of how refine and artistic my culture used to be, and will be again. The romanticism embedded with wisdom reflected in everyday living back in the old days is mesmerizing and eye opening. I was educated here in the states with very limited exposure to my own culture, I now want to seek out to learn more rather than waiting for it to become available in the US. I often imagine sipping tea in a wood carved open window second story pagoda like structure, right next to a meander canal, looking down at boats slip by, passersby on stone bridges, willow trees swaying in gentle breeze, cicadas singing in a sunny summer afternoon. Or waking up in a beautify wood carved Chinese bed to a glorious morning, a gaiwan full of hot tea waiting on the table. What a beautiful way to live!
Those fantasies were manifested into reality through traveling abroad. It sure struck up more fantasies. One of them is to live in Paris for half a year with my mother. She loves Paris, it's modern, it's old school, it's artsy, it's easy to get around, all the modern features to enhance this richly aged ageless city. Ok this is not tea related, but I can drink tea in Paris other than wine. Wait, this sounds like pu-erh. Rich, aged, ageless!
The more I dwell into, the more obsessed I become. There are misrepresentations of Chinese culture or Asian culture as a whole in the US, both among Asians and non Asians. My fantasy is to re-introduce to the masses the art and culture of China other than cheap consumer goods found in Walmart and 99 cents only stores. Nothing wrong with that though, it lubricates the economy wheel. Disposable funding creates demand for quality and artistic life style, affords the artistic culture to grow and strive. It's not uncommon that Chinese-Americans express shame when the term "Made in China" is brought up. I was no exception for a period of time. Well, that shows how naive and lack of serious knowledge I was.
Having these objectives in mind, the direction of my tea shop is inevitably be very "Chinese" with antique (some reproduction) theme. It's a start and will improve over time. It's all about the art of living and living to enjoy it! I don't claim to know everything about tea, although I made it my mission to generate interest in tea culture, it's up to the inquisitive minds to continue learning, it's also the motivation for me to continue learning as well.

The City watchdog will on Friday fire the starting shot on a dramatic overhaul of key benchmark borrowing rates with a package of proposals designed to restore trust following the recent Libor scandal.
Martin Wheatley, who heads conduct regulation for the Financial Services Authorityand has been asked by the government to review Libor , will say the existing structure and governance of the rate is "no longer fit for purpose" and must be fixed.
His suggestions for reform include scrapping Libor altogether and replacing it with a borrowing rate based on actual trades, which could be overseen by a new independent body rather than the British Bankers' Association.
He also considered introducing criminal sanctions in respect of potential Libor manipulation– although the discussion paper makes clear this would be difficult for the regulator to do.
"The attempted manipulation of Libor and its European equivalent Euribor have cast a shadow over the industry at large and the construction and governance of the benchmark themselves," he will say in a speech at Bloomberg this morning.
Mr. Wheatley's proposals are the initial step of an independent review that was ordered by George Osborne, the UK chancellor, after Barclays became the first bank to be fined for attempting to rig Libor.
The scandal cost Barclays290 million pounds ($355.8 million) as well as its chief executive and chairman. Other banks are expected to be penalized later this year.
"It is clear that regardless of the outcome of ongoing international investigations, trust in a vital part of the financial system has been badly damaged and timely action is needed to restore it," Mr. Wheatley will say.
His review focuses on three key areas – strengthening the current framework for setting and governing Libor; tackling abuse; and assessing whether changes are also required for other price-setting mechanisms such as equity and commodity benchmarks.
Much debate has centered on whether the rate-setting process could be taken out of the banks' hands – by basing it on actual trades rather than the rates institutions expect to be able to borrow at.
Mr. Wheatley believes this change would help overcome a number of existing issues with Libor, although would be problematic when low volumes of transactions were taking place.
One option would be to use a mixture of actual transaction data and predicted rates. "Perhaps some sort of hybrid of transaction data and a hypothetical rate might prove most effective, using judgment to fill the gaps where and when data is scarce, within a specified framework," he suggests.
One likely outcome from the review is that rate setting is made subject to more formal regulation. Mr. Wheatley suggests this may mean that individual submitters require special FSA clearance. He also raises the question as to whether banks should be forced to partake in the currently voluntary process – a move that would enlarge the current pool of submitters.
In terms of governance he says a "much greater degree of independence, transparency and accountability" is needed around borrowing rates. The process could be moved away from the BBA, which currently sponsors Libor, to a commercial body or a newly created independent trade body, for example.
There will be a period a discussion until September 7. Mr. Wheatley expects to publish final recommendations for regulatingand improving Libor and similar rates by the end of next month.

Particle Parkour 0557
This series captures the energy of the human body within the architecture of our urban environments, seeing these spaces as a playground. Our urban environments are so controlled where every movement is restricted in one way or another - I want to break down these barriers. This series is about far more than athletes, bricks and mortar. Architecture comes alive offering a never-ending set of challenging surfaces and spaces to those willing enough to explore them.
Shot in city centres, abandoned graffiti soaked warehouses and deserted car parks. The series aims to push the visual energy of Parkour & Freerun, not only in the motion of their bodies but with light play on particles exploding within the scene – all created 'in camera'.
This particular shot was taken on the rooftop of the London Marriott Hotel, West India Quay; with a backdrop of Canary Wharf's high rise office buildings at dusk / night. Shot On Medium Format Hasselblad H3d 39 MegaPixel - MODEL RELEASED - see the main portfolio at http://distilennui.com

SACRAMENTO — Let's see. Maybe: "Money Launderers for Campaign Finance Reform." No, that probably wouldn't sell.
Could try: "Tax Exempt Fat Cats Against Higher Taxes for School Kids." Nope. That one doesn't have the right ring, either.
There's always: "California Reformers Against Special Interests and Higher Taxes." That's more traditional and has much better voter appeal.
INTERACTIVE: California propositions guide
This is all facetious, of course, sort of.
The real name is the Small Business Action Committee PAC, No on 30/Yes on 32. Citizens for Reforming Sacramento.
I especially chuckle at that last part. Reforming with laundered money.
You may have gotten a campaign flier or two in the mail from this outfit. Like all political junk mail — from the right or the left — it should be immediately tossed. They're pretty much all full of distortions and lies, designed to tell you whatever public-opinion surveys indicate would capture your vote.

Dear board,
Thank you for accepting my registration.
A few days ago I already wrote a comment at the Python plugin's website (http://forums.nbpython.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=117).
Before that, I did not have a look into the BTS. One of the bugs already was and is tracked there (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255466), another one was new (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256991).
mr_lou_d thankfully put me into the BTS-CC regarding the mentioned tracking numbers.
Well, I wonder whether I can contribute in any way (so as to help with my two to cent make Netbeans my "swiss-army-knife").
I am a computer scientist and familiar with programming (Java, Python, ..., blabla), but only in "small scale" projects (scientific stuff). So either testing or even contributing code could (maybe?) be an option for me, as long as I supply the skills necessary (and have the time to spare).
I read that my nick in the forum should somehow relate to my real name. I would be willing to re-register and to install the dev-release of Netbeans (as explained in another post somewhere here).
So, if you want to, please feel free to drop me a line with any instructions (for example to re-register) or questions.
Thank you a lot, best regards from Germany.

I've been a LinkedIn Business Pro user for several years and have written extensively about all that's positive about the site's focus to become the prevailing professional social networking platform. But when you have a hammer, you begin to treat every challenge or an opportunity as a nail.
LinkedIn launched Skills and Knowledge as a functionality that few knew about, much less paid attention to or used. After all, shouldn't you be able to ascertain my skills or knowledge from my bio, background, experiences, education and recommendations?
[ Have you adapted to LinkedIn's changes? Read 5 Ways To Improve Your New LinkedIn Profile .]
By asking you to endorse the skills and knowledge of your network, it is trying to bring this new functionality front and center. Here are three fundamental problems with that:
1. Contextual Irrelevance.
Let's say I worked with Steve on a social media strategy-consulting project and am aware of his specific skills or knowledge around an influencer campaign. But what LinkedIn keeps prompting me to endorse is his graphic design skills, which I wasn't privy to in our work together and not really relevant to the context of our relationship. Does that mean that I don't have a relationship with Steve or can't endorse a skill or knowledge of his? No. It simply means that LinkedIn is taking our relationship out of context. Can I keep scrolling for his other skills? Sure, but who has the time or patience?
2. Degrees Of Competency.
Let's further say that Steve did a decent job on the above consulting engagement, but there were some areas where I thought he should have been more knowledgeable or competent. There is no way to rate the degrees of his competency or recommend areas for Steve to grow professionally in this area. Any competency metric I've always seen or have found effective gives you a range, such as a 1 to 10 or 4 out of 5 stars.
3. Weighted Endorsements. Did I work with Steve only once and experience his skills or knowledge in a very limited scope, or have we worked together on multiple projects, allowing me to see him deliver results across a spectrum of challenging scenarios? Anyone who has ever endorsed someone else knows that not all endorsements are created equal. There is no way for me to comment on each endorsement or give it more credence or credibility as to the frequency of our interactions.
Are these the endorsements you really want?
I don't know about you, but here are two other problems that give me quid pro quo heartburn:
-- I feel guilty for all these people and their skills that pop up that I have no idea they were capable of (am I the only one who keeps asking "seriously?" to many of these skills or knowledge?) Does that mean I don't really know them that well or have a strong enough relationship with them to be connected on LinkedIn? Or that they've done a poor job in branding themselves for me to realize that particular knowledge or skill was a part of their repertoire?

At 6 feet 4 inches tall, Paul Darragh, RIT's new Student Government president, certainly stands out in a crowd. But on campus, the aptly nicknamed "Tall Paul" fits in as an involved RIT Tiger who hopes to shift the focus of Student Government back onto the student body.
Darragh, a third-year software engineering student from North Attleboro, Mass., became involved with student life before even arriving on campus, at the Student Send-Off program in Boston. The program, which is held in several metropolitan areas including New York City and Washington, D.C., allows incoming students and their parents to meet current students to ask questions and learn more about RIT.
"I was already excited to get involved with the university, but after I heard former Student Government president Greg Pollock's speech during the Academic Convocation, I just couldn't wait," says Darragh. "I had never been involved with student government in high school, but Greg's speech made me feel like I could really make a difference."
Right away, Darragh attended several RIT Leadership Institute and Community Service Center events, eventually becoming a member of the student advisory board. He also discovered an opportunity to get involved with Student Government as a freshman senator.
"During that first orientation week, I was already asking people what they would like to see improved," Darragh says. Throughout his time at RIT, Darragh has also been a resident adviser and a member of both the Society of Software Engineers and Phi Kappa Tau fraternity.
"Being a proud member of Phi Kappa Tau helped me learn how to structure my time and get more involved in giving back to the community on a regular basis," says Darragh.
"A Phi Tau alum even helped me get my first co-op with Synchronous Technologies, a software company in Bethlehem, Pa."
Following the end of his freshman senator term in June 2012, Darragh ran for Student Government president along with his vice presidential candidate, Nick Cifranic, a third-year information security and forensics major from Cleveland.
The duo wants to create a more engaged campus where students will visit Student Government more often to share their ideas, problems and questions. They hope to require professors to use MyCourses for grades and assignments, implement video recordings of certain classes for students who miss class due to illness or are on co-op interviews, and begin designing a bike rental system for quick and sustainable travel across campus.
Having played hockey since he was 5 years old, Darragh continues to play for fun and cheers for RIT's men's and women's hockey teams as a member of the Corner Crew. In the future, he hopes to work in software development and project management.
He adds: "I'm really excited to hear more about what the students want and to work to get it done in the coming year."

Yesterday James Franco Tweeted "they pulled this from the oscar show. damn it," and linked to an audio clip of his horrible cover of Cher's "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me," from Burlesque.
Many gossip sites are reporting that the song was "banned" from the Oscars, but according to E!, sources say the song was actually cut because Burlesque wasn't nominated for anything.
Supposedly producers wanted Franco to sing the song while dressed as Cher, then have the real Cher come onstage and finish it herself. There's no word on what Cher look Franco would have worn, but we'd like to think it was her "If I Could Turn Back Time" ensemble.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Senior Milos Golic set a new UC Santa Barbara (9-4) men's water polo career scoring record on Sunday as the fifth-ranked Gauchos posted a pair of wins over visiting No. 16 Concordia (6-8) and Harvard (6-11) in a non-conference doubleheader at Campus Pool.
Golic recorded a hat trick in the win over Concordia bringing is his career goals count to 246, which tops Larry Mouchawar's previous school record of 244, which was set during the 1983 season. The native of Belgrade, Serbia and three-time All-American tied the record three minutes and 23 seconds into the second quarter against the Eagles. He then made the record his own just a minute and 33 seconds later with his 245th career goal.
Sophomore Brian Shoemaker scored the first goal of the day just 40 seconds into the contest with Concordia. The Eagles countered with a six-on-five goal from Milos Skalijac a minute and a half later. Noah Smith gave the Gauchos the lead again during the next possession, but with 1:11 to go in the first quarter, Duje Grubisic tied the game at two-all.
UCSB gained a two-goal lead early in the second behind goals from Brian Bishop and Golic. With 4:22 to go in the half, Concordia drew an ejection and called a timeout to set up a play. The power play was effective and Alex Donavan made it a one-goal game. Golic scored his record-setting goal to regain the cushion for the Gauchos, but Concordia continued to bite at their heels and Caleb Hamilton took advantage of another UCSB exclusion, cutting the Gaucho lead to 5-4. Smith tallied his second goal of the game during the next possession, to push the advantage back to two goals.
Each team exchanged a goal in the third to put the score at 7-5 heading into the final quarter. UCSB outscored the Eagles 3-1 in the fourth, converting three of its six man-up opportunities to finish the game with the 10-6 win.
Golic led the team with a hat trick while Bishop and Noah Smith each notched a pair of goals. In goal, Fraser Bunn recorded six blocks during the first half and Myles Christian had four in the second.
The Gauchos kept their momentum going in the second game of the day against Harvard. UCSB jumped out to 6-0 lead in the first quarter, scoring on all four of their six-on-five opportunities. UCSB stretched the lead to 8-0 in the second before Evan Zepfel provided the Crimson with their first goal during a power play with 2:14 to go in the first half. Kevin DiSilvestro followed with a goal 32 seconds later to bring Harvard back within six. The Gauchos had the final say in the half when Noah Smith hurled the ball from about 10 meters out for his third goal of the game.
UCSB outscored Harvard 2-1 in the third to carry an 11-3 lead into the final quarter. The Crimson matched the Gauchos' four goals in the fourth to put the final tally at 15-6.
Noah Smith led the squad with four goals in the game, bringing his total for the day to a team-leading six. Meanwhile, Ryen Flint, Brent McCunney and Evan Dellinger each scored twice. Freshmen Cooper Smith and Tom Cole each scored their first career goals in the win. In the goal, Jay Lovero had 10 saves in the first half and Russell Russo LeVasseur had five in the second.
UCSB will be in action again next Sunday, Oct. 17 when its hosts No. 6 Stanford in the Gauchos' Mountain Pacific Sports Federation opener at noon at Campus Pool. Admission, as always, is free to UCSB home men's water polo contests.

Nuggets' Danilo Gallinari on DeMarcus Cousins: "He said a lot of bad stuff"
What a kerfuffle.
Gallo and DeMarcus Cousins, the Kings' jester, got into it during Tuesday night's Denver win in Sacramento. Denver Post stringer Mark Billingsley described the scene in the third quarter:
Cousins pushed Gallinari to the ground on one possession, and Gallinari got up to complain to the referees and then took his case directly to Cousins. They had to be separated by teammates and refs, but neither received a technical foul.
After the game, here's what Gallo said to Billingsley:
"When you talk trash its fine as long as you don't disrespect and that's what I approached him. I never approach nobody who trash talks to me. I like that and loved it. But it has to be in the respect area and you go out of the respect area that doesn't work with me."

Magarity plans" a monstrosity"
As a member of the Community Association and as a concerned member of our "neighborhood", I am writing to express my utter distaste for the proposed 5-story monstrosity to replace "Magarity."
I respect the need for commercial development, but there must be an associated measure of social value to the community. The proposed venture is totally out of character with Chestnut Hill. Other than meeting the commercial interests of the developers, I see little in the way of value to our communal interest, and certainly nothing to commend it esthetically.
I would urge that the Community oppose this development, utilizing the strogest legal remedies available to us. Chedtnut Hill must not sit idly by and permit the erection of a monstrosity in our midst.
Perry Black, M.D.

by guitarsmashley » Wed May 01, 2013 10:31 pmAt this point I don't think any of this matters and the books only purpose(other than money of course which none of mine goes to) is to just piss people off because they think it will boost readers is it? I mean I'm amazed this ghost peter story has lasted as long as it did. How can Marvel be putting such great books out like Hulk, Thor, Cap(yes fuck you, I said Cap), And the 3 X-men books and then such terrible dreck like this and Age of Ultron.

by fieldy snuts » Thu May 02, 2013 1:14 amit's been decent. nothing groundbreaking but it's maintained a solid pace. it's been a solid 7 in my book, no more no less.
by Zechs » Thu May 02, 2013 1:55 am
No, I actually enjoy the book for what it is. A crazy journey with someone else who's name is not Peter Parker, Ben Reilly, or Miles Morales as Spider-Man. In fact, this reminds me of Jean Paul Valley as Batman, showing us all the wrong reasons why an extreme Spider-Man is wrong.
Also this journey Doc Ock is taking is quite enjoyable. It beats the usual Parker luck and retreads Brand New Day gave us. I almost wish Peter Parker remains dead, since Spock has prove he is SUPERIOR.
by Punchy » Thu May 02, 2013 4:35 amComics fans need to be pissed off more, there's nothing worse than giving fanboys what they want.
by TimDrake'sDumbWings » Thu May 02, 2013 8:03 amYeah, this might have been the first issue of the run to rub me the wrong way. Overall I've been liking Ock-as-Peter. However, my two problems with this issue were:
1) Really? So what we thought was the status quo 9 issues ago is now the actual status quo? Shocking and original!
2) Did it seem unnecessarily cruel to anyone else that Peter was made to forget Uncle Ben?
I do easily see ways out of this for Slott, though.
1) Peter's brain is in the body of Ock's old robot. They made too big of a deal of the robot being involved in the process. And Peterbot could become the 6th member of the 5-person "Sinister Six" that'll be running around in Superior Foes of Spiderman. That'd be the only way I could imagine that book maintaining the readership to service.
2) Pay attention to the language used in the final page. Those are a lot of nondescriptive pronouns. While it was quite heavily implied that Ock is the one who is "free," that very well could be Peter saying it.
by bkthomson » Thu May 02, 2013 8:15 amIf this runs longer than the clone saga, which thankfully there is really only two books with Superior Spider-Man in it and one is more of a off main storyline Team-Up book, I'll be disappointed. It is all a matter of When Peter Comes Back which should be I'd guess sometime at the end of the year. (A Christmas Miracle! Or next Easter. )
by nietoperz » Thu May 02, 2013 8:20 am
Well, yes and no. I agree they should be challenged, certainly, but there are limits. Marvel, to some extent, understand these limits. DC currently, do not.
That said, this book and storyline doesn't piss me off: I just have no desire to read a story about Doc Ock rampaging around in Spider-Man's body. I'll be back if and when Peter is.
by Johnny Smith » Thu May 02, 2013 8:22 am
[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand
Here's one way out:
A full copy of Peter Parker's memories are still in golden octobot that Doc Ock originally used to transfer his mind into Peter's body, and Peter used later in an attempt to transfer it back.
Ock tells the Living Brain to destroy the octobot. But then Peter tries to seize control of the body in the next scene and Ock has to call the robot to help tie his arms down.
So the golden octobot doesn't get destroyed.

text: The AAT3220 PowerLinearTM NanoPower Low Dropout Linear Regulator is ideal for portable applications where extended battery life is critical. This device features extremely low quiescent current which is typically 1.1A. Dropout voltage is also very low, typically less than 225mV at the maximum output current of 150mA. The AAT3220 has output short circuit and over current protection. In addition, the device also has an over temperature protection circuit, which will shutdown the LDO regulator during extended over current events.

Waterfalls: when water becomes a spectacle #SpringinSpain
Waterfall on the Ranera River in Tobera, Burgos
Spain's unique relief with many mountains and rivers, gives you the chance to see a stunning natural spectacle in the most unusual places: waterfalls. Would you like to see them for yourself? Here we present some of the most amazing waterfalls to be found in Spain.
El Pozo de los Humos, in the province of Salamanca, is part of the Arribes del Duero Nature Reserve. Access is via the village of Pereña, following a road with signs to Mirador del Pozo de los Humos. The route down to the waterfall can be dangerous as the rocks are always wet and slippery.
La Cimbarra is part of the Guarrizas River basin and is located within the Despeñaperros Nature Reserve, in the province of Jaén. Access is via the village of Aldeaquemada, following a drivable track for around 2 kilometres. A few metres away you will find the waterfall viewpoint, offering the best view of this stunning cascade.
The Salto del Nervión Waterfall, on the frontier between the provinces of Álava and Burgos, is within the Sierra de Orduña Protected Nature Area. To get a close-up view of the waterfall you have to follow a dirt track for 3.5 kilometres from the Orduña mountain pass. It leads straight to the Nervión viewpoint, built facing this spectacular waterfall, where the main flow of falling water seems to disintegrate into rising vapour before it reaches the ground.
Aigüespases is located in the Pyrenees Mountains of the province of Huesca, in the Benasque valley nature area, close to the road that leads up to Benasque Hospital. Spring and the beginning of summer are the best times to visit, when melt water from the mountain peaks means maximum water flow.
Also in Huesca, within the Ordesa National Park is the waterfall known as Cola de Caballo (the horse's tail). Access is on the road between the village of Torla and the Ordesa meadow. Then you have to take the trail towards the Góriz mountain hut. It is around seven kilometres from the meadow and you will need three hours on foot to get to the bottom of this spectacular waterfall, where the water spreads out over a large area as it falls.
Linarejos is in the province of Jaén, within the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y las Villas Nature Reserve, and it is one of the most spectacular waterfalls anywhere in Andalusia. It is located close to the village of Vadillo-Castril and access is from the jeep-track that heads up to Nava de San Pedro. This route follows the rocky edge of the narrow Cerrada del Utrero Canyon and leads to the waterfall in a little over half an hour. It is best to see it during the rainy part of the year (end of spring or beginning of winter), as it is often dry in summer.
In the Arán Valley (Lleida province), at the end of the road leading to l´Artida de Lin desde Es Bordes, you will be surprised by the sound of the Uelhs deth Joeu Waterfall, where the water spills down over the rocks in an endless succession of small waterfalls. The route covers nine kilometres and is well signposted throughout.
The Mundo River Waterfalls are in the Sierra de Alcaraz Mountains, in the province of Albacete (Region of Castile-La Mancha). Access is via the village of Riópar, heading towards Casa de la Noguera. A path leads off alongside the recreation area, heading to the rocky amphitheatre that is the site of the famous waterfalls.
The province of Cuenca, specifically its rugged mountains, are home to the source of the Cuervo River. Access is easy from the nearby recreation area. It is twelve kilometres from the picturesque village of Tragacete. This waterfall is spectacular, not only for its impressive volume of water, but also for the movement created as the water slips down the mossy rocks like a curtain.
The eastern mountains of the Sierra de Gredos, in the province of Ávila, are home to the stunning waterfall of the Iruelas Gorge, within the Nature Reserve of the same name. It has its origin in the river that flows down the bottom of the valley, in turn a tributary of the Alberche River. Access is easy from the road running between the Cruceras rural tourism centre and the Casillas mountain pass.
