You used to be a cheap date, a weekend fling who didn't care that my budget was tight and my wallet thin. In the old days, you would welcome me with open arms, even if I showed up on your doorstep with a brown bag lunch and blue jeans sticking out of my ski boots.
But you've changed. You've become a diva with expensive tastes, a snob who associates with country club types in time-share condos and designer ski outfits.
I just can't believe what I'm hearing. So I corralled my wife, Tina, and 10-year-old daughter, Isabella, and headed up U.S. 395 to see whether a penny-pinching weekend skier was still welcome in
When I arrived in mid-November, the Village at Mammoth teemed with noise, shoppers and light.
The European-style pedestrian hub is the crown jewel of a multimillion-dollar makeover that its detractors claim is turning this blue-collar ski town into the Aspen of the West. The makeover was accelerated when Starwood Capital Group, led by hotel mogul Barry S. Sternlicht of
Before the face-lift, Mammoth was known for its rustic charms. It was a hodgepodge of hotels, strip malls and mom-and-pop eateries, but that didn't bother most of the skiers and snowboarders who came only for the mountain experience. Thanks to an average of 33 feet of snow and 300 days of sunshine each year, the experience was usually good.
The resort took a transformative step this summer when Mammoth Mountain teamed with Patina Restaurant Group in an effort to improve its culinary offerings. To make the slopes more convenient, Horizon Air this week begins nonstop flights from
Considering the economic crisis, this may not be the best timing for hedonism on the hill. And yet, surveys suggest that Americans will not forgo vacation plans. They'll merely spend less on them.
This raises the question: Can a family on a budget still have a good time at the new and improved Mammoth Lakes?
The lodging near the lifts in Mammoth Lakes is pricey, but with legwork you can still find a few bargains. Room rates typically skyrocket in peak snow season, between Thanksgiving and mid-April, but if you can schedule your vacation before or after that period, you can save a bundle.
Thanks to online comparisons (try www.priceline.com), I found a bargain early in the season at the 1849 Condos, ([800] 421-1849, www.1849condos.com) within walking distance of the lifts at Canyon Lodge. I booked a two-bedroom, two-bath condominium with a kitchen, fireplace, living room and sun deck for $117 a night, plus tax. The rates were low because the condos were being renovated and only five runs were open at the time. (Canyon Lodge, a ski hub with a large outdoor deck, a bar, meeting rooms and access to lifts, had not yet opened.) Once the renovations were completed near the end of last month, the weekend rates at the condos jumped to $400 a night.
By using the kitchen in the condo to prepare our breakfasts -- cereal, milk, coffee and pastries bought at the local supermarket -- we also saved at least $30 to $40 each day on restaurant costs.
Even less expensive: On the drive up, I noticed that hotel rates advertised on the marquees in Bishop were nearly half the cost of lodging in Mammoth Lakes. Although it's 42 miles south of Mammoth Lakes along U.S. 395, Bishop has much to offer visitors, including Erick Schat's Bakkery (763 N. Main St.), the ideal place to stock up on apple strudel and sheepherder bread, and Jack's Restaurant & Bakery (437 N. Main St.), where the omelets are huge and tasty and the fishing advice is free.
Another money-saving idea for Mammoth Lakes: package deals that include free lift tickets for each hotel guest. These deals, offered by the resort ( www.mammothmountain.com), can cut your lodging costs by at least half, if you meet the restrictions. For example, Mammoth Mountain is offering a January midweek package that starts at $119 a night, with a two-night minimum.
Least expensive: Ryan Groat of Huntington Beach and his 4-year-old son, Luka, found the cheapest lodging in town: They slept in a camper on the back of Groat's pickup, parked on the outskirts of town near a hot spring called Wild Willy's, which is on Bureau of Land Management property. The federal government allows free camping on BLM property for up to 14 days. In return, campers must promise not to litter or damage vegetation. Besides camping on BLM land, Groat said he saved big bucks by shopping at a supermarket and preparing meals on a portable gas grill.
"It gets a little chilly at night in the camper, but it saves a lot of money, and nowadays that's important," he said.
Although there's no such thing as a free lunch, you can still find some cheap eats in Mammoth Lakes.
As I pulled into town, I stopped at the Mammoth Lakes Welcome Center (2510 Main St.) and picked up a coupon book for local restaurants and shops. (Before my trip, I also printed out several coupons from the city's tourism department's website, www.visitmammoth.com/coupons.)
Less expensive: Our first night in town, we used a 20%-off coupon for a large pizza at John's Pizza Works (3499 Main St.). The food was decent and the atmosphere festive, with TV football games and arcade machines seemingly on all sides. The coupon book also includes discounts for coffee shops, sandwich joints and a Thai restaurant. And who can say no to a dollar-off coupon for a Ben & Jerry's hot fudge sundae?
Even less expensive: Local merchants can also be a treasure-trove of money-saving tips. A fishing gear store manager recommended a couple of his favorite eateries: Salsa's (588 Old Mammoth Road), where tacos cost $1.75 each, and Hot Chicks Rotisserie (452 Old Mammoth Road), where a family of three can feast on a whole chicken with two side dishes for $18.95.
A ski shop owner suggested I scan the ads in the local newspapers for deals. With that, he opened the free weekly paper, the Sheet, and pointed out an ad for Whiskey Creek restaurant, where entrees top out around $27. But during a promotional period, the restaurant had entrees for $9.95. That night at Whiskey Creek, the family and I enjoyed a tasty down-home meal of meatloaf, salad and chicken strips in a relaxing upscale setting (cloth napkins and real silverware, not plastic forks and paper plates.) Total tab: just under $50 for three people.
Rock bottom: The supermarkets in town also get lots of skier and snowboarding business, judging by the number of people I saw in the resort parking lot munching on sandwiches and chips.
Skiers and snowboarders have several options for saving when renting skis or snowboarding equipment.
The rental shop at the resort offers a standard ski rental package for $34 a day. But I found a coupon at the welcome center for 20% off a rental package at the Ski Renter, a small shop at
The coupon book also includes discounts for several other shops around town, including bicycle rentals.
Lift tickets
No way around those steep lift ticket prices, right?
Almost right.
During the peak ski period -- Nov. 25 to April 20 -- lift tickets at Mammoth Mountain sell for $83 per day for adults, $62 for youths 13 to 18 years old, and $41 for seniors (65 years and older) and children. (That's a $4 increase per ticket from last year.)
Less expensive: You can shave off a few dollars -- up to 5% -- by buying your lift tickets online (www.mammothmountain.com) in advance or by purchasing multiple-day tickets or a season pass.
Even less expensive: Before Nov. 25 and after April 20, the rates drop to $69 for adults, $51 for youths, and $34 for seniors and children. So if the weather cooperates, you can ski early or late in the season and save a few bucks.
Weekday rates are usually lower than weekend. In January, Mammoth Mountain will offer tickets Mondays through Thursdays for $57 for adults, $43 for youth, and $28 for seniors and children. (Horizon Air will also offer midweek flights in January for $79 each way, about $20 cheaper than the usual fare.)
Rock bottom: Mammoth Mountain is, obviously, the big dog in town but another way to save money is to visit the quieter, less-crowded June Mountain, about 20 miles north of Mammoth. It offers daily lift tickets for weekends and weekdays for $64 for adults, $58 for young adults (19 to 23 years old), $48 for youths (13 to 18 years old), and $32 for children and senior citizens (65 and older). And college students can get a big break this year at June Mountain by paying $125 for a one-year pass. The only catch is that you have to prove you are taking at least 12 units of college courses in the current semester. (Pottery and wood-shop courses count.)
Other activities
On the slopes, my daughter was flying down the hill with the reckless abandon of a first-time skier after only an hour of lessons.
Convincing her to put away the skis was the hard part. Finding a fun alternative was easy.
Our lift tickets gave us free access to the new gondola that takes riders from the main lodge to the 11,053-foot peak. (If you don't have a lift ticket or a pass, a ride on the gondola sells for $21 for adults. Kids ride free with a paying adult.) At the Sierra Interpretive Center at the summit we admired the range of peaks to the west. We also watched in horror as daredevil skiers launched from the steepest slopes over the gnarliest moguls, the wind spraying gusts of snow in their faces.
Less expensive: While Tina relaxed at the condo, I took Isabella to the supermarket to buy a plastic sled for $16. (The cheapskate in me cringed when I later learned that I could get a similar sled at a hardware store in Lone Pine for $6.) Along the side of California 203, between Mammoth Lakes and the main lodge, we found several snow-covered hills, ideal spots for sledding. For nearly two hours, we slid down the hills, pummeled each other with snowballs and, basically, acted like kids playing hooky from school.
Rock bottom: Back at the base, we piled into the car and headed a few miles out of town to the Hot Creek Geological Site, near the Mammoth Yosemite Airport. (Take the Hot Creek Hatchery Road north and follow the signs.) At the end of a washboard road, we stopped at a paved parking lot and hiked along a walking path until we reached the creek. The steam and boiling water are the result of water seeping into a chamber of hot magma 3 miles beneath the Earth's surface.
Don't even think about swimming here. The unpredictable water temperatures have burned and even killed several swimmers over the years.
For my daughter, the creek was a weird -- but cool -- bubbling vat of river water. For me, it was a free and fascinating geology lesson. Her only complaint was the rotten egg smell that permeated the creek. "That's gross, Daddy," she protested.
As we headed out of town, having eaten well, enjoyed our fill of snow play and slept comfortably, we totaled up what we'd spent: about $700 for a family of three for three days, including gasoline. But we were not done yet. Our interest in Wild Willy's, the hot spring just west of the airport, had been piqued.
From U.S. 395, we turned north on Benton Crossing Road and after three cattle grade crossings, we turned right and continued along a dirt road until it ended at a dirt parking lot. From there we hiked along a wooden boardwalk to an open meadow, where hot spring water gurgled out of a fissure in the ground. The water trickled down to a 3-foot-deep pool -- about the size of a large hot tub -- that was lined with rocks and concrete.
We stripped down to our skivvies and climbed into the hot tub-sized pool, looking like throwbacks from Woodstock trying to commune with nature.
The magma-heated water drained the tension and aches from my muscles. A cool breeze rustled the short meadow grass. The only sound, besides our laughter, was the rippling of hot spring water.
More cheapskate fun. More priceless memories.

Background: In many countries, negative social attitude towards sensitive issues such as sexual behavior has resulted in false and invalid data concerning this issue.This is an analytical cross-sectional study, in which a total number of 1500 single students from universities of Shahroud City were sampled using a multi stage technique. The students were assured that their information disclosed for the researcher will be treated as private and confidential. The results were analyzed using crosswise model, Crosswise Regression, T-test and Chi-square tests. Findings. It seems that the prevalence of sexual behavior among Iranian youth is 41% (CI = 36-53). Conclusion: Findings showed that estimation sexual relationship in Iranian single youth is high. Thus, devising training models according to the Islamic-Iranian culture is necessary in order to prevent risky sexual behavior. © 2014 Vakilian et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

In the wake of the tragedy in Newtown, many parents were on edge this week as children went back to school. One parent decided take action to ensure his children's safety, and give parents and students some peace of mind.
Former Marine Jordan Pritchard, who served in Afghanistan, is voluntarily guarding Gower Elementary School in Tennessee. After dropping his first and second grader off inside the building, Pritchard stationed himself outside, greeting parents and providing a feeling of security to students.
He plans to guard the school until the holiday break.

Jessie J says Whitney Houston has been the biggest influence on her career.
The 26-year-old singer will never forget the emotional impact the late diva's voice had on her and she always returns to Whitney's songs when she is in need of inspiration.
Paying tribute to Whitney – who passed away in February 2012 – on stage at London's Eventim Apollo on Thursday night (29.01.15) as she covered her 1993 hit 'I Have Nothing', Jessie said: "No other artist made me feel like she did. I sang this song on my first audition ever. This is to remind myself that I can sing."
Elsewhere during her 17-track set, Jessie performed many of her greatest hits her 2010 breakthrough track 'Do It Like a Dude', 'Domino' and 'Price Tag'.
The pop star's set was also packed with songs from her current LP 'Sweet Talker', including 'Seal Me With a Kiss', 'Burnin' Up', 'Keep Us Together', 'Ain't Been Done' and 'Masterpiece'.
Jessie ended her sell-out show with her global smash hit 'Bang Bang' – her collaboration with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj – which is nominated for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Grammy Award.

'Ain't Been Done'
'Sexy Lady'

What is hypothyroidism in children?
Severe hypothyroidism in infancy results in slow growth, significant intellectual disability, and developmental delays. Symptoms are seldom apparent at birth. The age at which they appear and their severity depends on how well the infant's thyroid gland works.
How common is hypothyroidism in children?
Hypothyroidism is extremely common. It can affect anyone at any age, including children and newborns. Please discuss with your doctor for further information.
What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism in children?
Hypothyroidism occurs at any age, but the symptoms vary in children. In newborns, symptoms occur in the first few weeks or months after birth. The symptoms are subtle and can be missed by parents and doctors. Symptoms include:
- Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes
- Constipation
- Poor feeding
- Cold skin
- Decreased crying
- Loud breathing
- Sleeping more often/decreased activity
- Larger soft spot on the head
- A large tongue
Toddlers and gradeschoolers
The problems associated with hypothyroidism beginning in early childhood vary depending on the child's age. Thyroid conditions in young children may appear as:
- Shorter than average height
- Shorter than average limbs
- Permanent teeth that develop later
- Puberty that starts later
- Slowed mental development
- Heart rate that is slower than average
- Hair may be brittle
- Facial features may be puffy
These are the most frequent adult thyroid symptoms to appear in children:
- Tiredness
- Constipation
- Dry skin
Hypothyroidism in teenagers occurs more often in girls than boys, and it's most commonly due to the autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Teenagers with a family history of autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, or type 1 diabetes are at a higher risk for developing thyroid disease. Children with genetic disorders such as Down syndrome also have an increased risk for thyroid disease.
Symptoms in teens resemble those in adults. But, the symptoms can be vague and hard to recognize. Teenagers with hypothyroidism often experience the following physical symptoms:
- Weight gain
- Slowed growth
- Being shorter in height
- Looking younger than age
- Slowed breast development
- Later start to period
- Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
- Increased testicular size in boys
- Delayed puberty
- Dry skin
- Brittle hair and nails
- Constipation
- Puffiness in face, hoarse voice, larger thyroid gland
- Muscle and joint pain and stiffness
Teenagers with hypothyroidism may also have changes in behavior that are less obvious. Those symptoms include:
- Tiredness
- Forgetfulness
- Mood or behavior problems
- Difficulties with school performance
- Depressed mood
- Trouble concentrating
There may be some symptoms not listed above. If you have any concerns about a symptom, please consult your doctor.
When should I see my doctor?
If your child has any signs or symptoms listed above or you have any questions, please consult with your doctor. Everyone's body acts differently. It is always best to discuss with your doctor what is best for your situation.
What causes hypothyroidism in children?
The most common cause of hypothyroidism in children is a family history of the disease.
Other common causes of hypothyroidism in children include:
- Not enough iodine in a child's diet
- Being born with a nonfunctional thyroid or without a thyroid gland (also called congenital hypothyroidism)
- Improper treatment of a mother's thyroid disease during pregnancy
- Abnormal pituitary gland
Risk factors
What increases my risk for hypothyroidism in children?
There are many risk factors for hypothyroidism in children, the cases include:
- Children whose parents, grandparents, or siblings have hypothyroidism are at a higher risk for thyroid disease. This is also true if there's a family history of immune problems that impact the thyroid.
- Autoimmune conditions, such as Graves' disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis, more commonly appear during puberty. These thyroid conditions more frequently affect girls than boys.
Diagnosis & treatment
The information provided is not a substitute for any medical advice. ALWAYS consult with your doctor for more information.
How is hypothyroidism in children diagnosed?
Your doctor will decide on the best way to diagnose your child depending on their age and other factors. Generally, a physical exam and specific diagnostic testing can confirm the diagnosis. The diagnostic testing might involve blood tests that measure certain hormones like thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) or thyroxine (T4), or imaging tests. About 1 out of every 4,000 babies is diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism.
An enlarged thyroid, known as goiter, can cause problems with breathing and swallowing. Your child's doctor will check for this problem by feeling their neck.
How is hypothyroidism in children treated?
There are different treatment options for hypothyroidism. Treatment typically involves daily thyroid hormone therapy with a medication called levothyroxine (Synthroid). The dose will be determined by your doctor and dependent on various factors like the age of your child.
Treatment for a newborn with thyroid disease is more successful when started within the child's first month of life. If left untreated, low thyroid hormones can lead to problems with the nervous system or developmental delays. However, doctors regularly screen babies within the first four weeks of life, so these problems don't usually occur.
Lifestyle changes & home remedies
What are some lifestyle changes or home remedies that can help me manage hypothyroidism in children?
If you have any questions, please consult with your doctor to better understand the best solution for you.

Red cards are usually deemed by the referee to a player when an unfair act is made. This time the red card goes to the referees at the Friday night game on September 17th.The Woodstock high school marching band and the opposite team's marching band were scheduled to play the halftime show during the Friday night football game. As a polite gesture, the Woodstock high school marching band allowed the other band to go first, thinking that their performance would be eight minutes long.
The other team's performance lasted a little longer than expected, but that did not bother the Woodstock marching band. The Woodstock band went on the field and began to play the piece that they practiced for months. With only the last part to play left, the referees started to call off the performance and ask the band to leave the field. They stated that the football game must start at that time.
The student section from both teams started to boo and tears came streaming down from the eyes of the marching band. Most of the members thought that the students were booing at them and felt humiliated. The student section filled their doubts with love and encouragement and reassured them that they were booing the referees for their unfair act.
Some of the band members remember this as a humiliating moment, but most of them remember this moment as the best moment ever. They felt so amazing, knowing that the students were standing up for their school band. Some members of the band used to feel overlooked and unappreciated, but now they know differently. As a school, it is amazing to see all the students stand up for each other, no matter how different they are.

According to an August report by the nonprofit National Wildlife Federation, climate change is creating obstacles that can impede our time in the outdoors — namely, by increasing the number of pests.
Nature is critical to health, says Martha Berger, a children's health officer with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Climate change, she added, could "further alienate kids from nature."

Li'l Liza Jane:
Song also known as "Little Liza Jane", "Liza Jane" and "Goodbye Liza Jane", has become a perennial standard of American music.
The first record of which is recorded, was first published in 1916 by Sherman, Clay & Co of San Francisco, California, and written by Countess Ada De Lachau. It was described as a "southern dialect song". The melody was presented as entertaining entr'acte during the Broadway show of 1916-1917 Come Out of the Kitchen.
But, the origins of the song are prior to the dates of the recording. Lucy Thurston remembered a song with the chorus "Ohoooooooo lil Liza, lil Liza Jane", sung by slaves in the area of Covington, Louisiana, before the American Civil War. While the melody is not preserved in the written interview, the lyrics and their rhythm strongly suggest that it was the same or very similar to the song published decades later.
Natalie Curtis Burlin's Black Folk-Songs book, published in 1918, documents a version that is said to be a popular black song with an associated dance game. In the "Liza Jane" dance, couples danced in a circle, with an extra man in the middle. The additional man would "steal couples" with one of the couples, and the strange man would go to the center and do a solo dance, then he would take care of another couple and the process would be repeated.
This song has been interpreted in many musical styles, folk, bluegrass, jazz, rock & roll. It has become one of the standards of the New Orleans band tradition.
Some Versions:
Earl Fuller's Famous Jazz Band 1917 (Victor Records)
Price's Band 1918 (Columbia)
Emerson Military Band 1918 (Emerson Records)
Al Bernard 1927 (Vocalion Records)
Taylor Flanagan & His Trio 1932 (Brunswick)
Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys 1941 (Okeh Records)
Buddy Harris 1948 (Blue Bonnet records)
Ray Bauduc & His Bobcats 1948 (Capitol)
Nina Simone 1960 (Colpix Records)
Hank Gallant 1963 (Arc Records)
Katie Laur Band 1977 (Vetco Records)
Kermit Ruffins 1994 (Justice Records)
…and many more.

Well, I got a girl that's so good to me

Missionary Beth Devine says that generator hours on the Interface campus in Papua New Guinea are limited because their generator is on its last leg. There is a replacement generator on its way, but the time factor in shipping overseas has already been extended and the waiting time is longer than the Interface staff had anticipated. It could be awhile.
Meantime they are able to run the generator long enough each day to charge all the batteries on campus. But power must be conserved when the generator is off, so that the batteries will last as long as possible.
Beth writes, "I am sitting here in the dark, thankful for the power to run my computer, send email and update our blog. Power is not something that we think of very often … power to run our computers, power to run our refrigerators, power to keep our food frozen in the freezers, power to run our washing machines, power to pump our water up from our well … I'm sure you get the picture. We need electricity for so much!"
Beth says that last Tuesday neither generator was working. One had been down for a couple of weeks, and the other generator, after thousands of hours of use, a rebuilt engine, and subsequently thousands more hours of use, had finally died. The imagination of all the complications which would result from having no generator at all were enough to drive everyone to prayer, Beth says.
"We are thankful that God gave Jacob (Beth's husband) and the rest of the maintenance guys wisdom.


text: ben 1 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Hi all,after chatting with Jack, I decided I would try and make a homebrew game for the pacman machine. Short of ideas, I went for tetris...it's not quite polished yet, or even finished (no score, no 2 player-game, no title screen, no animation and sound for the exploding lines, no fancy graphics), but this gives a pretty good idea of what you can do : it even includes music ! (the Bach tune from the game boy version)to get it to work (on linux, sorry for the windowers...) :- unzip the archive, it the source project,- install srecord and z88dk (on ubuntu, the stock packages works fine)- type "make rom.o" => you get the binary for the code, you can put it in place of the original code rom in your pacman papilio bit file (use the same roms for graphics and sound).to try it with mame :- grab your favorite mame roms for "puckman" (google is your friend there) - unzip it into the puckman directory (actually, you do not need the namcoxxx roms, as they will be overwritten)- install mame, of course,- the 'from source' debug version of mame I use reads the provided mame.ini file and runs fine from the "tetris" dir, but if your mame complains, you'll want to add a pointer to the project directory in the right config file- patch the paths in the makefile,- type "make" and enjoynote 1 : controls are obvious except for the "rotate" command, which is mapped on "up" (no button on pacman...)note 2 : the C code should be readable, although I have not spent hours commenting it. You can have a look at the crt0.asm file if you are curious : it's very crude, only what is needed for zd88dk to work is included.To have a complete devkit for the pacman machine, we will need a graphics/palette editor... the sprite format is quite straightforward, so it should be easy to at least make a bmp=>rom converterBenSource code is in the attachmentsThis post has been promoted to an article Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I learned something very valuable yesterday regarding this hearing: I learned that if I have my cell phone on mute, I won't hear calendar reminders. Can you even believe that?? As a result I was only able to catch the last 10 or so minutes but thankfully, I have Twitter and a list of hashtags to peruse, courtesy of Ali Sternburg at Patent Progress. (If you don't want to take the jump, they're #trollhearing, #patentreform, #fixpatents.) For those of you who are likewise smart-phone impaired, or who didn't know about it in advance, you can view the archived hearing here.
The point a lot of the panelist seemed to be making, save for poor Mr. Mossoff who seemed woefully alone in his defense of the Dark Arts, is that there must be some sort of government mandate surrounding the demand letters that patent trolls send out. They should be required to contain certain information, and they should be entered into a national database so that others can see them.
Negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.
The idea that there should be some sort of mandate on sharing the letters, either by forcing the assertion entity to register it or (worse) requiring the recipient to do so, is silly, not to mention unenforceable. It puts too big of a target on the backs of the smaller companies to admit when they got a letter because then they're fair game for more trolls. The bigger companies don't need to share because, unless they're going to fight publicly, they just pay and it goes away. Still, they have the same fear of transparency and becoming an even bigger target. Besides which, as the letters are pre-lawsuit, they're not now, and shouldn't be in the future, public information.
The whole idea is that people should want to share, in whole or in part, redacted or not, so that it benefits the collective good. What companies get out of sharing is access to all the other collected information so that they can contact other recipients and collaborate on defense. Or, at a bare minimum, get a read on the MO of the trolls in aggregate and figure out their own individual plan of counter-attack. Also, there's the idea that just simply seeing the demand amount offered to other victims gives any other recipient a little bit of leverage: "Hello, Scanner Dudes? You're extorting $1500 from me but only asked for $500 from Victor Victim #2. What the hell?"
But it can't be forced. You have to show people the value, first for themselves and then for others, of sharing and shining a light on these trolls or they won't do it. You can't coerce them with some scary new law that will undoubtedly have a horrible unforeseen side effect that you'll then have to make yet another law to clean up. We don't need more laws, we have trouble enough enforcing the current ones, for heaven's sake.
Just to give the dead horse one last beating, I am not a fan of the government stepping in, really at all on this issue. I admit to liking a lot of the Goodlatte bill, and surely there is something to be done about the glut of bad software patents (which, who are we kidding, really don't need the "bad" qualifier) and that is a government area for sure. But beyond that, the Feds will only screw this up.
Having said that, I think the State Attorneys General position on this issue is exactly the correct use of the government. Hit them with consumer protection laws, which are already on the books! And as part of the process, require that they disclose their letters in discovery. That I can get behind, and it's why all three states that are taking this approach made it into the Patent Troll Fighters Heroes Gallery.
I have a website called That Patent Tool that was set up to collect information about demand letters. It also allows users to create a unique and un-identifying forum user name with which to post questions and ask for feedback in a secure forum. The whole idea is to get people to put information in, as much or as little as they're comfortable with, and then start digging into the data and see what we find. I've posted twice now (here and here) about what's been entered so far.
It's not a huge data set yet, but I still believe that individuals and companies will become more comfortable with sharing information over time, particularly when they're able to get with other recipients as a result and see how they can best attack the trolls.
It's exciting that the dialog about patent trolls has reached such a fevered pitch that Capital Hill has noticed. I'm just not convinced that making demands about demand letters isn't too demanding of an approach.

The law on workplace pensions has changed!
All employers are legally required to automatically enrol certain staff into a pension scheme and make contributions. You will also have to tell your staff about the scheme you put them in and allow other staff to join if they request to do so.
The Pensions Regulator is the UK regulator of work-based pension schemes and their web site is very useful indeed. The web site address is: www.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk

Monday 30th September and over 80 Royal Ark Mariners arrived at Rochdale Masonic Hall for the mid-meeting of the East Lancashire Provincial Grand Officers Lodge of Royal Ark Mariners no. 990. The main business of the evening was the Investiture of brethren with their Royal Ark Mariner Provincial Grand Rank.
The Lodge was opened at 6.15 pm prompt by the Worshipful Commander, PC Michael Green. After dealing with various items of a domestic nature, a report was received and the Provincial Deputy Grand Director of Ceremonies, W.Bro. Steven Lawlor was admitted. He announced that the RW Provincial Grand Master was in attendance without, together with a sizeable deputation and that the PGM demanded admission. Unsurprisingly, the Provincial Grand Master, R.W.Bro. Alexander Sillars McLaren and his team were admitted in procession.
The Provincial Grand Master assumed the chair and introduced all the members of the Provincial delegation. He then explained the purpose of the visit and proceeded to invest a number of brethren with their Provincial Rank. The newly appointed holders of Provincial rank were saluted in due form and W.Bro. Howard Nuttall responded to the salutations on their behalf.
The WC then resumed his rightful place in the Lodge. Following further domestic business, the PGM and the delegation retired from the Lodge to enthusiastic applause.
There followed a very pleasant social board with a great deal of chatter and banter which was enjoyed by all and by 9.30 pm, the business of the evening was concluded and the brethren were on their way home.
Undoubtedly, Royal Ark Mariner Masonry at its best.

text: kobe 0 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hey guys, I'm for Plunify, an FPGA EDA company. We recently made this website called AI Lab that lets you run Vivado on the cloud. So you can run this anytime, anywhere, on any machine with a browser. For the fun of it, we ran this on a Chromebook. Check out this video There are more details in our blog if you are interested. Due to the volume caching/latency, starting Vivado for the first time is kinda slow, but once it has started, it is pretty lag-free (if you are in the US). This is just one of the various cloud-based workflow. Please let us know your feedback and your thoughts. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On Tuesday my summer officially started. I finished my technology class a while ago, and I just finished all my chemistry labs. There was a fair amount of dancing and jumping up and down. So, to celebrate, I am totally breaking my routine and going out and partying like crazy. (See, this is why there needs to be a sarcastic font, because people who don't know me might actually think I'm serious.)
In celebration of my one-week summer, I bought myself a new CD. Which I have been listening to (the embedding feature wasn't cooperating) obsessively.
A old friend stayed with us this week. It was great to see him, and so cool to continue introducing him to Harry Potter. We read part of the fourth book out loud and also watched the third movie. I think we've done a pretty good job of confusing him. The first time he stayed with us we were reading the seventh (and last) book out loud. Unfortunately, he lives on the other side of the country, so I can't stop by and bug him about finishing all the books. I need someone new to talk Harry Potter with.
I've been finding all these amazing new blogs. I don't know how to keep up with them all! But I did immediately dump one when I found out the author likes Twilight more than Harry Potter. I can handle Twilight-I've even spent my (parents') money to go see the movies. But liking Twilight more than Harry Potter? Completely unacceptable.
I've been really enjoying reading throughout the day and not having any homework assignments hanging over my head. I can truly relax and allow myself to be completely absorbed in the book. I'm reading like crazy, trying to read all the good books (and okay books) before school starts.
I finished a painting a while ago:

October Ipsy Glam Bag " Black Magic"?
October is my favourite month of the year. It's the month I celebrate my birthday and my favourite holiday all in one. This months bag was literally a little birthday gift to myself. Inside the bag was a Makeup Forever HD foundation, Model Co brow pencil, essence waterproof eyeliner, pur-lisse lip nourisher, and teeez cosmetics lipstick. Below is my review and breakdown of each product, plus the retail value in Canadian dollars based on the current exchange.
Makeup Forever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation - I will start with the most anticipated product in my bag. This foundation is very lightweight on the skin and does not leave a cake residue on the skin. Formulated with film and tv lighting in mind it looks great at any angle, and bright lights are not a reason to hide with this foundation. Try to take a photo with your HD camera, you will see what I mean. I applied this with a foundation brush, then used a beauty blender to further blend it into my skin. If you have any events to go to that will have lots of photography I recommend this foundation. Sephora carries this line in 40 shades, retailing at $52.00 CAN for 30 ml. $8.65 CAN for the 5 ml size in bag.
Essence Cosmetics Superfine Eyeliner Pen - Waterproof
This black felt tip pen does have amazing precision for creating a cat eye where you can customize the width of the line. The tip moves nicely to guide the line depositing even colour. The claim to be waterproof is about 30%. When I put it to the test it's waterproof when the water glides over it. I then rubbed it with my finger with the water and it started to break down, fading to nothing. As long as you don't rub your eyes, this will stay water proof. Full size $2.99 USD = $3.95 CAN We received the full size in the bag.
Teeez Cosmetics Eve's Ready to Wear Lipstick in Shade "Romantic Red"
This lipstick is formulated with mango to repair dry, chapped lips. The application is very smooth and even with the distribution. This buttery shade is beautiful for the fall season, even the winter months this would be acceptable for the holidays. I tested it for the ability to be smudge proof, it did not pass the test. My finger smudged it all over the place, would not recommend kisses with this one. This has a fruity flavour, not a bad bonus. Full Retail $22.00 USD = $29.05 CAN
Model Co' Instant Brows Dual Ended Brow Pencil - This product is very easy to control to create a natural filled in brow. I really like that it has a brow groomer on one side. How many times have I forgotten my spooly somewhere when I needed it for my brows. The design makes this product super easy to travel with. This Australian based company really came up with a natural looking shade as well. I'm pleased that I received this in the October bag.
PUR-LISSE Daily Lip Nourisher with Mango and Shea Butters- formulated without petrolium this instead uses mango seed butter that contains vitamins A,C, &E. Also contains sun protector Rice bran oil and Jojoba oil to help with chapped lips. It does not have much flavour to it, an feels hydrating on the lips. Full Retail Value $16.00 USD .38oz 11g = $21.13 CAN . I'm estimating the size in the bag to be around $6.00 CAN.
October's Black Magic Glam Bag is estimated to be around $58.45 CAN at full retail value. Not a bad deal considering it only cost us Canadians $20.00. This is such a fun way to treat the beauty lover in you each month. I will hopefully be uploading a instagram picture of my makeup using all these products at once. My instagram is Tyla_Carmela, to keep up to date on new looks and every month I review the IPSY bag received. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Enjoy the taste of your favorite animated chef – without the added fat and salt! Chef Nikki Miller-Ka presents her closest imitation of the tastes Emeril made famous, but with a healthy twist. Recipes and samples. Class is from 11:30 am to 1pm
Can I tell you that this warmed the cockles of my heart? "...your favorite animated chef..." Sometimes I feel like the teacher after school when the guests come up to me after class and all the samples have been distributed to ask me questions, comment on the day's fare, or just tell me they had a good time.
Until just recently, I only shared my culinary dreams with my family and close friends. But to hear/see good tidings from a complete stranger? It truly blows my mind. I do have a good heart (definitely a healthy one) and I everything I do is out of love. I hope that message comes across clearer than any other qualities I portray.
Below are links recipes and nutritional information for the items I created during my BestHealth class for the month of February. If you're visiting my blog as a participant of my class, Welcome! And if you found your way here through other means, Welcome to you, too.
Links to recipes from past classes can be found here and here and.....here
I really don't like chocolate. If I were to be obsessed about it, I'd buy and eat these every day of my natural life. They beat ANY and EVERY pastry chef's paltry attempt at chocoholic satisfaction. And they're fat free.

In today's society many students experience obstacles, troubles, andfailure. However, the obstacles, troubles, and failure derive from ourirresponsible schools and families. When people think about schools in oursociety they perceive it to be a non-challenging atmosphere. Some studentsdiscover school to be very hard and mind boggling, when other studentsperceive school to be the worst thing on earth. Our schools tend to groupstudents based on their age and expected ability rather than placementtesting. By using the placement test it allows schools to challengestudents at a more personal level.
The placement test also benefits theteachers or professors because the material can be taught at a steadierpace and level. Therefore, I will provide many examples of how the schoolsand families set their expectances at such a low standard.
Why or why not? Can stress really be a factor in low expectations?Not only is it stressful for the parents but also, it is stressful for kidswhen they are expected of too much. This may be the answer to why parentswant kids to act more independent.
Many parents have a lot ofresponsibility as it is; so staying less involved in their kid's day-to-dayschedule is one less thing to worry about for a parent. Then there arealways the kids who try to get more involved in school, but really cantbecause of the lack of communication between them and their parents. Self-image can pay a toll on low expectancy. From what I have seen in the past,teachers want to look good so if they show good grades it really doesn'tmatter who is being challenged. This also goes for the parents. Parentswho see good grades leave it at that, instead of expecting more.
Could parents setting low expectations on their kids result fromfinding the easy way out?Many parents want their kids to take life by the hands and only deal withsomething when they are faced with it. Some say this is the easy way out,but some may say this is how life should be lived. This results in kidsbeing left without any responsibility. Why do something when you don'thave to? It's all about following the older and wiser.
With teachers or professors having such a very low expectance of thestudents, it allows students to lack the knowledge they need. Resultingfrom these casual but un-noticed habits students become bored and un-interested in learning. For instance, McQuillan states "teachers expectlittle of students." The materials being taught to the students are moreor less hurting our society rather than helping the society become moreintelligent. However the teachers or professors are not taking the extramile to teach, instead of explaining and assigning an assignment to see ifthe students comprehend what the discussion was about. Through time,teachers and professors segregate students into groups by their age, colorof skin, and even their gender. Such as, how Steele says, "less and lesshas been asked of black students, and weaker and weaker performance hasbeen allowed to count for them-social promotion in K-12 and lower standardsfor college admission than for other groups." As a result, teachers andprofessors are cheating the students and obstructing the society by nottaking the responsibilities to set higher expectances for the students toachieve.
Throughout my twelve years of school I have noticed various studentsand friends of mine that have families with low expectances. Some of theexpectances are very obvious. Such as how parents are not takingresponsibility to set goals for their children and even set curfews. Wellin my case I had the advantage of the high expectations that my parents setfor me. So when I hung out with friends I noticed lots of irresponsibleparents. A lot of irresponsibility came from my friends telling me whatthey did last night or what party they got busted at. But that is not evenclose to the edge of what these kids were not expected of. These kidswould skip class, show up late to school, and have the tendency to be tardyto class and their parents would not care. By noticing these obviousproblems I have grown up realizing that families don't expect much out oftheir kids. With the low expectance in the household, this causes severalproblems for the student to excel in school. This problem relates back tothe article by McQuillan of how Rafael Jackson skipped school and classes.
As one may notice this is an on going problem that has been going on formany generations.
Not only, parents having low expectations but unfortunately schoolsare having low expectations for students also. In today's society, schoolsare turning school into a non-competitive atmosphere. The schools areallowing kids to pass classes with failing grades and this results toteachers pushing the kids through school with no education. Pushing kidsthrough school with no education will only stall our society and economybecause later our future pursuers will only be qualified to work atMcDonalds. Therefore, if today's students are being passed with failinggrades then it allows the student to slack off in school. Therefore, thestudents then believe it is ok to skip class, be tardy, and drop out. Forinstance McQuillan says, "I've got those teachers wrapped around my littlefinger." The author is saying that students get their way because teachersor professors have very low expectations for them. Teachers or professorsalso show low expectations for students by allowing the students to pass onto the next grade without the student attending the class or not doing allthe required work. Unfortunately, schools are hindering the studentsbecause the schools are consistently lowering the standards forrequirements and also lowering the SAT and ACT scores for admittance tocolleges. Such as how junior colleges lowered their standards to excepteverybody into college. On the other hand, it is good for the juniorcolleges to lower their standards but they should at least require each andevery person to take a placement test for admittance into the college. Inmy own belief, professors at a junior college should set the standardsequal with any four-year school. Meaning that the professors should notallow any classes to be easier at a junior college level than any four-yearcollege.
On the other hand, my theory maybe wrong. I really haven't spent alot of time with professors to get their intake on challenges. However, Iam not old enough nor have kids of my own to expect anything from them.
All I have is my personal experience and knowledge that what I have read.
Some schools may not set standards for enrollment and graduation. However,some schools may set high standards for kids. In my opinion I feel thatschools, families, and professors should all challenge the kids of ourfuture to reach there maximum goals in life.
All in all, the kids of today are the future. With the obstacles,troubles, and failure students overcome each day, it all falls back on theschools system and families. With what has been proven with these facts,it is obvious that students may never really pursue their goals and reachfor the future they long to endure. With a stronger teacher to studentratio, students may then only be considered challenged. This can alsoderive at home with more quality time between a parental figure and theirchild. With teachers and professors not performing their job that they areasked upon, results in unfinished business. So by forcing the schools orcolleges to take the next step to increase the expectance level, willresult in students taking the next level in life. Unfortunately, it allcomes down to school systems are just to busy working with students as awhole and parents just don't have enough time.

Billionaire Warren Buffett is a good example for value investing. Buffett gives a good example of value investing that other people should pay attention to. Buffett recommends that we buy low and sell high. Sadly, many investors tend to let emotion handle their financial decisions. This causes them to buy when others are buying, and sell when others are selling. When we buy when others are buying, we get a high priced Apple stock that is not really a good deal. When we sell when others are selling, we get a trashy Kodak stock that just went bankrupt. The key to becoming the investor that succeeds is being a shareholder in Apple before they became successful. It is selling Kodak stock before the rise of the digital camera. All of these things are what the biggest investors do well.
If you do not know how to begin stock investing, think about something practical in your life that you can try this principle with. A good example is food purchases. Most people are eagerly buying sweet and popular premade meat products. They are eagerly ignoring bitter and unpopular raw vegetable products. A smart investor would buy mostly raw vegetables and sell sweet popular meat products during the day.
The best investment models buy something unpopular, and then they convert it into something very popular. The worst investment models take something popular, and then they convert it into something very unpopular. Evaluating your personal financial practices to see how you are doing in this area can show you the things that need to improve. A person who is smart will take a job that others do not want, and give others exactly what they want. A person who is foolish will take a job that others desperately want, and give others exactly what they do not want.
If you do not know what is popular, look at the universals of marketing. The universals of marketing include survival, protection, freedom, pleasure, relationships, and likability. These are the things we should be selling to be a great investor. We should also be buying danger, slavery, suffering, enemies, and unpopularity to be a great investor. Why? These things have a low purchase price because no one wants them.
There are different great companies to try stock investing cheaply. One of the recent ones is Robinhood. Robinhood lets you place trades from the convenience of your smartphone without having high fees bothering you.
Robinhood puts the investing market in the hands of the common person. If you are curious about how to begin with stock trading, remembering the buy low and sell high principle can go a long way toward removing the issues you are having.

… for the upcoming anniversary! I just wrote an article on early 1910s evening attire for the GBACG newsletter, and as part of my research I went through all the issues of Vogue from January to March 1912 to see what trends would be up to the minute. Unfortunately, I ran out of room to include that information in my article, so I decided to post my notes in case they are useful to anyone. I also added a gallery of evening dresses featured in Vogue during the same period.
So if you're interested, here you go: Fashion Trends for Winter/Spring 1912

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and US secretary of state Rex Tillerson spoke out strongly against Pakistan's support for terrorist groups during their separate visits to Delhi this week.
Ghani met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as President Ram Nath Kovind and external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday. Speaking at the Delhi-based think tank Vivekananda International Foundation, Ghani demanded Pakistan stop supporting the Taliban. He pointed out that the Taliban was a 'spent political force' after the American invasion in 2001, and blamed Pakistan's sponsorship for the group's revival.
'Sanctuaries are provided, logistics are provided, training is provided, ideological bases are provided.' Ghani added that 'Pakistan has come to a juncture and it needs to make a choice'.
Ghani also rejected Pakistani claims that Afghanistan was allowing India to carry out subversion in Pakistan from its territory.
'There are no secret Indian facilities, there is no destabilization of any neighbour from Afghanistan taking place, implicit or explicit collusion,' Ghani said.
Ghani also said Afghanistan would not allow Pakistan access to Central Asia if it refused his country trade access to India through Wagah and Atari. On Sunday Ghani's government announced it would block Pakistani trucks from crossing into Afghanistan citing the expiration of a trade agreement.
The Afghan President also reiterated his country could pursue a successful peace process by itself, citing the return of feared warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar to Kabul in May.
'We would like a push factor from Pakistan vis-a-vis the Taliban, not a Pakistan-managed peace process,' Ghani said.
That same day, President Kovind had also supported a peace process that was on Afghan terms. "India believes that whatever initiatives are taken for bringing peace in Afghanistan should be Afghan-led and Afghan-controlled," he said.
However, we should note that Ghani's statement came barely a week after Afghanistan held talks with the Taliban as part of the Pakistan-led Quadrilateral Coordination Group.
A day after Ghani's speech, US secretary of state met Modi and Swaraj. He said terrorist safe havens in Pakistan would not be tolerated while adding that the US would continue to work with Islamabad on this issue.
Separately, according to reporting from The Hindu's Suhasini Haidar, Indian officials believe Tillerson came down hard on Pakistani officials the previous day in Islamabad.
'There were no half-messages, as in the past. [The Trump administration] is behaving differently from other U.S. administrations, and we must recognise that,' Haidar quoted an anonymous official as saying.
