This is day two of our coffee field trip in Portland. First stop was Heart Coffee Roasters.
Next stop Barista.
Classic gray, rainy day in Portland. Perfect for coffee.
It was 9 am so I decided to stick with the coffee.
Look at those two. She wants the Ethiopian beans but he is trying to persuade her to go with Columbian. Guess who wins? Every time?!
Chocolate Macaron, Macchiato, and books. Doesn't get much better than that.
I had someone ask how we managed to have a food excursion with three kids. Great question. One I asked myself plenty of times prior to this trip.
We fed them lots of cookies!
Seriously though this has been a topic that has been bathed in much discussion. Gabe and I think it is so important to bring our children into our passions and to share with them the things that bring us great joy. Going out for multi-coursed meals that extend into the night beyond bedtime seems nearly impossible during this stage in our lives (at least if I want to stay sane).
Tasting coffee seemed the perfect solution. Each stop is brief and most likely has a treat waiting for them. I don't mean to say that we bribed our children but it's more that I want them to have pleasant memories associated with these trips. I don't want them to just remember that mom and dad were frantically trying to keep the noise level down and constantly shushing them. Although that did happen.
Gabe and I were also pretty realistic in our expectations. In the span of three days we made three stops. This was also a way to keep the over-caffeinated jitters at bay. We were at each location for about 30 minutes and brought plenty of distractions (i.e. books, stickers, lego men, and pacifiers).
When children entered our lives we had many conversations about not not giving up on the things we love just because we had little munchkins running amok. We wanted to include them and expose them to new tastes, new artists and new sites by bringing them out to dinner, going to museums, traveling, etc.
My 23 year old, childless mind could not have possibly been able to understand what life is like three kids 4 and under and just how hard it is to make our dream a reality. But I figure the more we expose them to these sorts of situations the better they will begin to understand and adapt to proper coffee shop behavior – whatever that means. I also maintain realistic expectations of what our kids can handle at the ages they are at. We balanced our coffee tasting time with plenty of opportunities for sword fights with their buddies. Everybody wins!

GATINEAU, Que. - Consumer groups and a cellphone industry with starkly opposed views about contracts for handheld devices began to make their cases Monday as the CRTC opened public hearings on a proposed wireless code.
Representatives of three consumer groups urged the national telecom regulator to do away with three-year terms in favour of capping contracts at two years.
The Public Interest Advocacy Centre, the Consumers' Association of Canada and Council of Senior Citizens' Organizations of British Columbia also oppose wireless carriers restricting the use of phones to specific countries or network providers.
And they're against companies charging sky-high roaming fees when devices are used outside their normal coverage area.
"Consumers are sick of termination penalties designed to keep them locked into long-term contracts," said John Lawford of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre.
"Consumers are tired of locked handsets. Consumers are often in shock after opening a bill where roaming charges or coverage fees have been applied."
Contract limits are but one of several contentious issues before the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission as it holds a week of hearings in Gatineau, Que., on its proposed wireless code.
The commission aims to set national standards for the content and clarity of cellphone contracts.
In the lead-up to the hearings, the CRTC said it heard a lot of angry comments about three-year contracts offered by wireless carriers when it was putting together a draft version of the national code for wireless services.
So far, the commission hasn't taken up the idea of banning such contracts and has instead dealt with such issues as early-termination fees, allowing the consumer to cancel service at any time.
The federal Competition Bureau said it supports measures to limit contract length.
The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, which lobbies on behalf of the industry, opposes getting rid of three-year contracts.
"If that was really the choice that consumers wanted ... someone will provide it in the marketplace," said the group's president and CEO, Bernard Lord, the former premier of New Brunswick.
"The key thing with this code is don't eliminate choice. Don't have the strong arm of government and the regulator come in and say, 'From now on, this is how it's going to be.'
"Make sure the choices are there so consumers who want two-year contracts can get them, if they want three-year contracts they can get them, if they want unlocked phones they can get them. But don't force people to offer it that way."
But the consumer groups claim most carriers' two-year plans are not true options for consumers. Most three-year plans offer deep discounts on the price of the handheld device. But the groups say two-year plans often charge a lot for the device itself on top of the monthly service fees. For that reason, many consumers opt for the three-year plans.
On the CRTC's online forum about the draft wireless code, participants also complained about locked cellphones.
The draft code says the carrier must provide the consumer with the means to unlock the device after no more than 30 days of service, at the rate specified in the contract.
No Canadian wireless carriers currently sell unlocked phones, although there are ways to unlock a device after buying one, the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association said.
That's a failing in the market, said CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais: "The market's not working. If nobody's doing it now, that means the market is not working."
The regulator also says in the proposed code that consumers can set a cap on additional fees, which would including text messaging, data and roaming charges, for example.
Meanwhile, the consumer groups argued that any new wireless code ought to apply to all existing contracts — including prepaid deals — not only new ones.
But a senior Telus executive told the CRTC that would be difficult to do.
"There are, arguably, rate elements to some of the proposals here that, you know, I just think that there's legal questions around that, and I don't think that we need to do it," said Ted Woodhead, the company's head of government and regulatory affairs.
"Over time, a very large number of customers at Day 1 would be captured, given the run rate in the industry. Over time, everyone would be captured.
"Don't get me wrong: I appreciate the sentiment that it should apply universally, but there are valid legal reasons — and, frankly practical reasons — why that isn't a good approach to take."
The CRTC is scheduled to hear from wireless service providers — including Bell Canada and Rogers — this week.

The main idea explored in my artwork was the essence of mankind's massive impact and our dominance over nature, employing stylistic elements to create a digital print from a real object while retaining the feel of its size. I used scanned and edited images from photographic transparencies. The concept was born from my personal immersion in a plethora of film, advertising and interactive programs, much of which make up today's culture.

Over the past 10 months or so, I've made it clear that housing, in my opinion, is one of the most important factors of indigenous affairs right now. The state of the vast majority of dwellings in most aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory and probably elsewhere is quite honestly despicable.
Despite this raw fact, and despite all relevant research pointing to poverty and poor housing as key risk factors for the neglect and abuse of children as well as a direct cause of most juvenile medical problems in indigenous children, the Howard/Brough intervention plan failed to address housing, and seemingly didn't even consider it as an important issue. There was talk during the earlier days of the intervention that the military presence, under the banner of 'Norforce', would quickly build 500 or so dwellings in a blitz to address the problem of chronic overcrowding, which, by the way, sees up to 10 people sharing a single room in the worst cases, but this never seemed to eventuate.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Great Gazoo helmet is gone. The small Gazoo helmet is here to stay.
Starting with Friday's exhibition games, major leaguers must wear the new Rawlings S100 Pro Comp batting helmet, which provides protection for pitches up to 100 mph.
The helmet, a bit bigger and 1.3 ounces heavier than the previous standard, was rolled out on a voluntary basis last season and about 200 players opted to wear it, giving it largely positive reviews.
STANTON: Marlins outfielder hit in head in practice
Use of the new helmet is now mandated by the collective bargaining agreement.
"It's much improved. I'm on board,'' Cincinnati outfielder Jay Bruce said. "Anything that makes the game safer and doesn't completely alter your feel at the plate, I'm all for.''
At 18 ounces, the S100 Pro Comp is nearly five ounces lighter than the original S100, the first to increase protection from 68 to 100 mph.
Players found it too heavy and bulky, though – it's 28% larger than the standard, as opposed to 6% for the redesigned one – and complained of looking like the Great Gazoo character in the Flintstones cartoons.
When coming back from a concussion in September 2009, New York Mets third baseman David Wright tried the S100 for two days before ditching it, saying it didn't feel right.
Art Chou, senior VP of product for Rawlings, said MLB and individual players provided input regarding feel and aesthetics for the redesign.
"We took it into consideration as much as reaching the 100 mph protection level,'' Chou said. "If it's too heavy and bulky, players are not going to want to wear it. And if it looks funny, players are not going to want to wear it.''
Rawlings reduced the size and weight while keeping the enhanced protection by making the helmet shell out of an aerospace-grade carbon-fiber composite instead of hard plastic. It's the same material used in the new Boeing Dreamliners, though Chou assured there's no danger of the helmets self-igniting.
Bruce's teammate Brandon Phillips has been vocal in his dislike of the new helmet, saying it feels too heavy and big.
"I know it's something I have to get used to, but some things you just don't like,'' Phillips said. "I've used it in batting practice and I had to go to the trainer's room because my neck was sore."
During Wednesday's simulation game at Miami Marlins camp, Giancarlo Stanton was hit in the back of the new helmet by pitching prospect Jose Fernandez.
"I wasn't dizzy," said Stanton, who doesn't expect to miss any playing time. "I saw a little grayness and fuzziness on the outside of my eyes, but it's subsiding now."

Insect Pests of Beans and Southern Peas
Seedling Beans and Peas
These insects are soft-bodied "plant lice", about 1/16-1/8" in length and are usually green although some species are yellow, pink, brown or black. They are most prevalent during cool, dry weather on small plants. Heavy populations of aphids can stunt plants by withdrawing large volumes of plant juices and delaying maturity. Treatments for aphid control should be initiated at any time colonies are found.
Thrips are small, slender, agile insects, rarely as long as 1/8". They are commonly found in flowers of peas and beans but will also feed on leaves. The presence in flowers at early bloom may result in poor fruit set due to pollination interference by thrips feeding.
Field observations indicate that 3 thrips/flower may interfere with pollination and cause defective-shaped pods. After pods are 1"-2" long, damage is primarily cosmetic since small blisters are generally the only results of their feeding.
Lesser Cornstalk Borer
The lesser cornstalk borer is the larval stage of a small (1/2" long) brownish yellow moth. Moths leave field corn when it begins to dry and enter late planted fields of peas and beans. The moths lay eggs around the base of emerging plants. These eggs quickly hatch into larvae which are small, slender caterpillars with green, blue, or brown bands around the body of each segment. The larvae bore into the stalks of young plants near the soil line and tunnel up and down the stalks. A silken tube is usually attached to the entrance hole where the larvae bore into the stem and the larva may sometimes be found in this tube. Plants damaged by lessers become stunted, wither and later die. Late plantings (those made after July 1) on sandy soil during hot, dry conditions often results in 30-50% stand loss.
Major Foliage/Stem Feeders
Several kinds of beetles and caterpillars may be found feeding of foliage of peas and beans. The combined feeding of all or the heavy populations of one species may require insecticide treatments. Peas and beans are fast growing plants with heavy canopy due to an overabundance of leaves. Research has shown that 30% defoliation prior to bloom stage will not result in reduced yield or quality. In addition, these plants can tolerate up to 15% leaf loss during bloom and pod-fill stages without significant drops in yield or quality.
The following pests are considered major foliage feeders and their combined feeding may require treatments to prevent yield and quality loss.
Mexican Bean Beetle
The Mexican bean beetle is 1/4"-1/3" long, very convex and yellow to coppery-brown in color. Each wing cover has eight small, black spots that form 3 rows across the body. Some of the beetles appear at emergence of earliest plantings whereas others may wait for nearly 2 months later to leave their overwintering quarters. After feeding on beans a week or two, the adult female deposits yellow eggs in groups of 20-50 on the undersides of leaves. The eggs hatch in one to two weeks, depending on temperature, and the larvae feed for 2-4 weeks. Both larvae and adults feed on the undersides of leaves leaving the upper surface more or less intact. Larvae also consume regular areas of leaf tissue leaving the veins between them which gives the leaf a skeletonized, lacy appearance. When abundant, larvae and adults will also feed on stems and pods. When full grown, larvae are 1/3" long, yellow and armed with black-tipped spines. Larvae pupate on the undersides of undamaged leaves and emerge as first generation adults in about 10 days. From egg to adult requires about a month and there are usually 3 generations per year. During some years there may be a partial fourth generation. Since most damage occurs during July and August, quick-maturing varieties of green beans planted very early or during late summer may escape damage.
Bean Leaf Beetle
The bean leaf beetle is rarely a serious problem on beans or peas grown in South Carolina. The adults vary considerably in color and markings, but are typically red to yellow in color, about 1/5" to 1/4" long, with 3 or 4 black spots in a row along the inner edge of each wing cover. Damage caused by bean leaf beetles is twofold: (1) girdling of stems near the soil line and (2) large irregular holes chewed in leaves. Damage to beans and peas early in the season may result in stand reduction.
Spider Mites
Spider mites are minute, eight-legged animals that are more closely related to spiders than to insects. Adults and immature stages appear as tiny specks on the undersides of leaves where they pierce the epidermis and extract sap. Lightly infested leaves assume a whitish stippling appearance, while heavily infested leaves turn pale yellow or bronze colored and dry up. The undersurfaces of leaves usually are covered with silken webs over which the mites crawl. Spider mites develop rapidly during hot, dry weather and one generation can be completed in as few as 8 days.
Lima Bean Vine Borer
The lima bean vine borer is an occasional pest of the large-stemmed bean varieties. The mature larva is 7/8" long, bluish green with a tint of pink on its back, and has a yellowish-brown plate behind its dark head. It burrows into stems, typically just above or below nodes, and hollows out cavities. Infested stems swell and form galls which eventually turn brown and develop a woody texture. Infested plants are weakened and have lower yields.
Cabbage Looper
The cabbage looper is another defoliator of peas and to a lesser extent beans. The larva is green in color with a thin white line along each side of the body and two others near the middle of the back. Damage caused by loopers is ragged foliage. They rarely reach treatment status on peas and beans in the absence of other defoliators. Heaviest populations usually occur on late planted crops.
Major Pod Feeders
Cowpea Curculio
The cowpea curculio is the most destructive insect pest of Southern peas grown in South Carolina. Cowpea curculios are rarely a problem on snap beans. Small, brown, wart-like, or blister-like spots are found on pods damaged by curculios. These are caused when the adult punctures the pod to feed or lay eggs. Damaged peas have small, dark, indented spots and often contain grubs.
The cowpea curculio overwinters as an adult in crop refuse or grass in the field or on the border of the field. Tufts of broom sedge, particularly at edges of woods, are favorite hiding places for overwintering adults. The adult is an oval, hump-backed, bronze-tinged, black "snout" beetle that has small dents on the wing covers and on the upper side of the body. It is about 1/4" long. Adults begin to leave their winter quarters in March or early April. This emergence continues until June or July or about the time that the first peas are available for egg-laying. These overwintering adults are long-lived and may survive through August.
Eggs are laid as soon as peas are formed in the pods. The weevil, or "snout" beetle, punctures the pod and chews a small hole in the surface of the pea. In this hole is laid a single egg. From this a legless, pale yellow, brown-headed grub hatches.
The grub feeds on one or more peas before it reaches its full size of slightly more than 1/4" long. It then chews an exit hole through the pod, drops to the ground, and pupates about 1" into the soil. Approximately 7 or 8 days elapse from the time that the eggs are laid until the grubs emerge from the pod. The larvae pupate about 6 days after they leave the pod. About a month is required to complete the life cycle. There are two generations each year. Because eggs are laid over an extended period of time, generations overlap and all stages can be present on southern peas at the same time.
Late southern peas isolated from early peas are usually not as severely damaged as early peas. Wild host plants produce pods that attract many curculios, and these can be a source of infestation.
The only feasible approach to control of curculios is a preventive spray program. The current spray schedule recommended begins with a spray at first bloom and repeat treatments made on a 5-7 day schedule.
Corn Earworm
The corn earworm is primarily a problem on late-planted peas and beans but early plantings may also be attacked. These worms vary greatly in color from a light green or pink to brown or nearly black and are lighter on the underparts. They are marked with alternating light and dark stripes running lengthwise on the body. The head is yellow and unspotted, and the legs are dark or nearly black. The corn earworm chews holes in both foliage and pods but prefers the latter. Levels requiring insecticide treatment are 5% damaged pods or 1 larva/3 feet of row.
Tarnished Plant Bug
The tarnished plant bug is a pest of snap and lima beans but rarely reaches pest status on southern peas. The bean growth period during which plant bugs are most important is full-bloom. The bugs withdraw plant sap and inject toxic saliva into the plant. The toxins may cause bloom and young pod abortion and dark spots to develop on older pods that are attacked.
Adult bugs are about 1/4" long, by less than half as broad, flattened, oval in outline, a general brown color mottled with small, irregular patches of white, yellow, reddish-brown or black. Nymphs are similar in shape to adults with 4 black spots on the thorax. By late summer, adults and nymphs are numerous but because of their obscure coloration and shy hiding habits, are not much noticed. Late planted beans are highly susceptible to attack and should be checked closely during the bloom stage. Treatments for bugs should be made when there is an average of 1 bug/6 ft. or row.
Stink Bugs
The Southern green stink bug is a serious pest of lima beans and snap beans during late summer and fall. These bugs are shield-shaped, bright green, bad-smelling, flattened and about 5/8" long. The young (nymphs) are similar in shape and have black markings. Stink bugs damage beans in both the nymph and adult stages by withdrawing juices and injecting toxins. Although they may feed on leaves, pods are preferred. External signs of stink bug feeding on pods of snap beans show up as clear or water-soaked lesions. On lima beans, the external damage on pods is not as clear. But developing beans become brown after bugs inject toxins and introduce yeast infections.
On snap beans, insecticide treatment is necessary during bloom stage when there is an average of 1 bug/10 feet of row. Lima beans are more sensitive to damage and insecticide treatment is needed in the bloom stage when there is an average of 1 bug/15 feet of row.
Control of Insect Pests of Beans and Southern Peas
Consult the discussion under each pest listed on this fact sheet for the "economic threshold" or the level of pest populations or plant injury necessary to warrant control measures.
Several insecticides are labeled for control of stink bugs, tarnished plant bugs, cowpea curculios, bean beetles, thrips, and aphids as well as control of caterpillars and bean beetles. To control spider mites, a miticide is needed. To effectively control mites, two applications are needed, 5 days apart.
Always follow all label directions and observe waiting periods until harvest.

Step back a couple of centuries without leaving Little Rock during Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church's 9th Annual Christmas in the Quarter holiday tour of homes from 2-6 p.m. in the Quapaw Quarter of downtown Little Rock on Sunday, December 9. The holiday event raises funds for Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church and its missions and gives guests a glimpse into five 19th century homes while savoring the tastes, sights, sounds and scents of the holidays.
Guests will tour the holiday-decorated homes, learn a bit about the history of each, and enjoy appetizers, beverages and live music, including strolling minstrels singing carols as well as piano, organ and trumpet instrumentals. Guests can walk from home to home or take one of two trolleys, which will drop off and pick up participants at each home throughout the event.
The tour will begin and end at the church where guests can sit in peace and fellowship in its Gothic Revival architecture, peruse and purchase artwork by artists using studio space in the church, and relish holiday refreshments. The homes include:
Designed by Charles L. Thompson and Thomas Harding, Jr., Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built between1921 and 1926, it features a Gothic Revival style with Queen Anne characteristics. Considered one of the best examples of Gothic architecture in the southwest, the sanctuary still retains its original features and furnishings, including four plaster angels—unusual for Methodist churches of the time. The sanctuary features more than 50 individual stained-glass windows and a large Gothic Triptych window, all crafted of intricately assembled Tiffany-style stained glass, depicting biblical persons and liturgical symbols. The original cork tile floor is an early example of green design. Overhead, Gothic openwork trusses provide both decoration and structural support for the roof. Please ask about the little pew that was dedicated to Mrs. Eliza Lillis whose husband died of injuries suffered during the Civil War. Her story is a true inspiration.
The Pollock House at 914 Scott Street was constructed circa 1874 by Samuel E. Mandelbaum—the owner of a cigar and tobacco shop on Main Street— for his daughter, Annie Mandelbaum Pollock, following her marriage to Mr. Meyer Pollock. In addition, Mr. Mandelbaum built a home at 908 Scott Street for another daughter, Clara Mandelbaum Pfeifer, and also one for himself at 920 Scott Street. The Pollock House has remained in the family ever since, and it is now owned and occupied by descendant Mary Bray Kelley and her husband, Dick Kelley. The exterior has been restored to its original beauty and architectural style, and the interior rehabilitation was equally profound, making the home an important historic residence in Little Rock.
The Villa Marre at 1321 Scott Street was built in 1881 by Angelo Marre, a successful saloonkeeper in Little Rock. The home was the first post-Civil War residence to be rehabilitated in the city. In 1964, preservationist James Strawn purchased and restored the home, later donating it to the Quapaw Quarter Association. It remained a social rental and tour house until it was sold as a private residence in 2002. Except for its mansard roof, a feature associated with the Second Empire style, the home is predominately Italianate. Its imposing three-story tower and original slate roof are features that make the house architecturally significant. The Villa Marre became a popular icon as the Sugarbaker House on Designing Women, and its distinctive architecture made it a trademark of the successful television show in the 1980s and 1990s. The home is currently available as an event center.
The Xenophon Overton Pindall House at 2000 Arch Street served as the Governor's Mansion from May 15, 1907 until January 11, 1909. While acting governor, Pindall served as a member of the State Penitentiary Board, made numerous visits to the convict farms, and authorized an investigation and report of conditions. His actions are credited with starting a chain of events that brought about the abolition of the convict lease system some years later. Constructed in the Tudor style with some Craftsman features, homes like the Pindall House originated in the United States with plans and concepts published in furniture maker and designer Gustav Stickley's The Craftsman magazine. His ideas spread, and the term Craftsman eventually identified any house built with his principles in mind. Jill Judy and Mark Brown now own and occupy the home.
Constructed in 1902, the John H. Martin House at 2107 Arch Street was designed in the Colonial Revival style, which became popular after the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia created a feeling of nostalgia about the American home. Homebuilders and architects turned to early American houses as inspiration for new, more dramatic houses appropriate to the booming economic times. Colonial Revival houses were first built in the late 19th century, in the shadow of the Victorian era. Colonial Revival grew in reaction to Victorian excesses, focusing on simpler, more traditional layouts and façades. The style took hold quickly and became one of the country's longest-lived architectural forms, with countless versions being built even today. Ashley and Chap Williams are the current owners and residents of the home.
The Shelby England House at 2121 Arch Street was constructed circa 1910 and has been totally restored to perfection. The large sweeping foyer has a grand staircase and huge stained-glass window. Designed by architect Charles L. Thompson in Colonial Revival and Prairie School styles with some elements of Craftsman style incorporated, the England House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is included in the Governor's Mansion Historic District. The house sits unobtrusively on the streetscape thus giving it a sense of privacy nicely reinforced by the low brick walls that surround the porch. The England House is a fine example of the diversity of architect Thompson's work. Brandi and John Collins own and live in the England House today.

|OKLAHOMA'S eGOV NEWS REPORT
Welcome to Oklahoma's eGovernment News Report. We hope you enjoy the monthly report providing you with up-to-date information on Oklahoma's eGovernment achievements.
Attorney General's Office Providing Statewide Inmate Information and Tracking Service for Crime Survivors, Families and Public
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Attorney General's Office is providing inmate tracking information for Oklahomans and victims of crime through the Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) program administered by the AG's Victim Services Unit.
Oklahoma's VINE program is a free and anonymous service that allows Oklahomans to register and be notified about changes in the status of Oklahoma inmates.
"By providing information on inmate status, we are increasing victim safety," said Lesley March, chief of the AG's Victim Services Unit. "Victims are no longer dependent upon the courthouse being open for them to be notified of the release of a potentially dangerous individual. Knowledge many times translates into power, and with victims of violent crimes, it may mean the difference between life and death."
The service notifies participants with inmates' current status information such as general release date, escape, returns from escape, death, out to court and unsupervised custody. VINE offers multiple ways to receive notifications.
The service is available 24 hours a day year-round. Operators who answer the toll-free number are available in English and Spanish to assist victims, their families and the public in registering for VINE.
To sign up for the VINE program, Oklahomans can log onto www.vinelink.com or call (877) OK4-VINE.
States are confronting the challenges of protecting passwords, regulating status updates and other issues surrounding a new world with Facebook and Twitter.
Starting with the as-yet-unreleased Apple iOS 6, the company is planning to ditch Google Maps and replace it with its own mapping software. Apple's new mapping software will not include public transit navigation, so unlike Google Maps — which has spent the past seven years working with cities to offer this information to its users — Apple will need to rely on third-party developers to develop apps that make use of open data offered by city governments.
Here's the rub, as The Atlantic Cities astutely observes: Many large cities — such as Atlanta, Phoenix and Detroit — do not offer open data about public transit systems, but these cities do work with Google to provide that information.
This could result in increased public awareness about open data, as iPhone users upset about lost mapping functionality could begin requesting that their city offer open data sets. Or they might just switch to Android.
For in-depth reporting on the issue, read the Atlantic Cities article about the new iPhone's effect on the world of open data.

When someone believes something even though all evidence is contrary to that belief, does this mean they are stupid or crazy?
Instead of using religion as an example, I will use this one: some people still believe the earth is flat. Are they stupid people or crazy people?
Views: 393
I didn't expect this to foster such a good, serious discussion. My serious, philosophical questions never do.
I'm puzzled by why your question has a forced limitation of only two negative options, stupid or crazy.
Does this person posses the evidence? There could be evidence and they are not aware of it in which case they are just ignorant.
If they have the evidence then calling them stupid would be an insult to the stupid, calling them crazy I'd feel insulted so I think they are just willfully ignorant or as GM has said delusional
I think that if they choose to believe that the earth is flat or that snakes talk etc, in spite of evidence that it's not true, then they just don't really care enough about it. They mostly just want to fit into the circle they belong to …
Bingo is more important than facts … : )

phoney or not, dis bitch rocks. like the under cover inocents too!!!!!!
verybut very very funny,i mean WHYY?
HAHAHA...its porn so of course its scripted....what type of buster would drive his lady to fuck another while hes kicking rocks outside
NO! You guys can see in the expression on the poor deceived souls faces, that this is real. Like many girls, they know they stakes are too high, but their ego will not allow them to back down. I'm sure there are many who walk out on this guy instantly. But he uses the obvious psychological pressures that a person who associate with being in porn, and set them against an imaginary measuring rod. If you can't handle this, how could you handle that. Stereotypically this works on ignorant young girls because, he is white, mature male, dressed as a business man, who has an office with a couch. "Obviously," think the ignorant, "this the gatekeeper."
and your watching it...
Haha HE MOVED SO DAM FAST WHEN HE CAME. XD I literally laughed while jackin off haha
Yes, I like to wait my wife while she's fucked
mi piacerebbe aspettare fuori mentre mia moglie viene scopata
so damn close to being a huge mistake on his part, almost didnt pull out in time.
He should've shot his load in her cunt. Teach her lesson about cheating and a made up company. Ha
I would put my girl in the hospital for life and him
What is her name . Do anyone have the full video of her
Amber skyy
She really enjoy him fucking her. She is obviously having better sex than her boyfriend. Shame he didnt came inside her. Then she would go out and tell her boyfriend she just had better sperm in her womb too!
what a bitch
http://www.youporn.com/watch/360855/gf-having-special-phone-sex/?from=vbwn looks like she is a porn actress lol already
i love the way she let him silp his cock in her she was loving it
PLEASE, YOU GOTTA DO ANOTHER REAL LIFE CUCKOLD LIKE THIS ONE AGAIN! Fuck, you know how long it's been since I've wished to see a similar scene as this!? And I mean REAL LIFE, not actors. (cause it's not 1/10th as good if it's acting). I love the senario. Fuck, then it gets you thinking of what happens after when she walks out of the office! I mean, does she tell the boyfriend?, or does she just NOT MENTION the crazy shit? -saying that it was a normal question-answer interview... AHHH! I would pay big $ to see a video of 60-120 minutes that follow after this when she gets out. To see the interaction between the couple. What they say. If they kiss. If he bombards her with questions, if he's suspicious, if she tells him or not. His reaction if told, if he's turned on, or humiliated or wants to immediately fuck her or beat her after being told this. YOU KNOW, Sex Is NOT ONLY THE FUCKING! SEX is PSHCOLODGICAL! this scene is incomplete in reality! -and it still continues today! Cause if they're still together and tomorrow the boyfriend sees this video on this site, all the reactions and what happens is the whole sex co ti yes! You know, you can only ask for so much, but the only REALISTIC AND POSSIBLE continuation for us to actually see of this, would be if the REAL BOYFRIEND saw this and responded either in text or video or in ANY WAY and with incontestable proof that it's the real him ect. Anyways, Loved it.
what a skanky 'ho. she gobbled it up while her boyfriends outside-what a 'ho!!!!!!
That darker chick didnt like it because a mushroom in her pussy lmfao

There's a job for her here, if she wants to suck me!

why she didn't took off her socks?!?!? why god why?!?!?!!?
She reminds me of my gf..
lol, i really like backroomcasting and i like how extreme it tries to make it real. but some vids are too obvious. a boyfriend who takes his lady to a porn interview who then says he doesnt mind if its a closed interview with no questions, yeah right. plus rick wouldn't be fucking all these girls in these vids with no condom if he didnt know something about them. i think these girls are getting paid and you get paid more the more surprised and innocent you are on camera.
Next time, please, take your socks off!! Having them on is not sexy.

She's the perfect girl. She could live with me anytime she wants to leave her boyfriend.

6500 miles on my 2016 V, took in for first service, told them about squeaking coming from the front breaks and rumbling under hard breaking. BAM, hot spots on my front rotors, need replacing, 2300 dollars. REALLY??? Car never track, (that I know of) was an exec car and 2100 miles when I picked it up. This can't be right. Makes it even worst, I can't find any after market two piece rotors. Any suggest on aftermarket parts.

Made in Greenwich: Chicken Soup for the Soul
GREENWICH -- As Bill Rouhana recalls it, he was sipping a glass of wine at a local barbecue, minding his own business, when the latest chapter of his life arrived.
It was 2007 and he was listening to Bob Jacobs, a TV producer who was manning the lamb chops that day, explain how a California friend was looking to sell the company he'd spent 15 years building.
"He told me the story of Chicken Soup for the Soul," Rouhana, who's 61, recalled.
At the time, Rouhana was looking for something to do. The broadband business he'd created in the early 1990s, WinStar Communications, had gone bust during the dot-com crash. He'd since invested in companies, mostly media ones, but something about Chicken Soup especially intrigued him.
That was also the case for his wife, Amy Newmark, who'd spend the coming months poring through all of the roughly 200 books in the Chicken Soup library. Newmark categorized the works by quality and theme. Rouhana wrapped his head around the numbers. "It wasn't really run like a business," he said. "There were, like, no financial statements."
Still, he marveled at how Chicken Soup's books were flying off the shelves at bookstores. Oddly enough, that was also true for a recent addition to the company's inventory: cat and dog food.
If books and pet food can both thrive under a single brand, Rouhana thought, what else might be possible?
So in 2008, the couple, together with Bob Jacobs, raised enough money to buy Chicken Soup of the Soul and bring it to Greenwich.
Broadening a brand
For Newmark, it was a long time coming. For her honor's thesis at Harvard, as the only Portuguese major in her graduating class, she traveled around the northeastern reaches of Brazil, listening to stories chanted by locals.
"Collecting stories from regular people," she said. "And putting them together."
After college she pursued a career on Wall Street. She specialized in telecommunication stocks -- first as an analyst, then as a hedge fund manager. "I used to specialize in two emotions: fear and greed," she said. "Now I specialize in the whole range of human emotions."
Today, Rouhana is chairman and CEO and Newmark is publisher of Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing (they recently bought out Jacobs). From their unassuming office in Cos Cob, which is squirreled above a CVS, they're attempting to build upon an impressive brand: Since the early '90s, more than 500 million copies of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" have sold internationally, and more than 100 million in the U.S. and Canada, the company said. ( Company founder Jack Canfield sold the business in 2008. He could not be reached for comment.)
Increasingly, though, Rouhana and Newmark are targeting more than books. Last fall, they launched a line of human food -- chiefly soups and pasta sauces, which can be found in growing numbers of supermarkets. They're "very far along" on a feature film backed by Alcon Entertainment, the makers of Oscar-winning "The Blind Side," that draws on Chicken Soup stories. They have a PBS show debuting in August and excitedly entertain the notion of launching a daily talk show.
It's a wide array of ventures, but Rohana and Newmark are convinced they have a common thread.
"Everything we do shares happiness, and inspiration, and wellness," Newmark says.
"The essence of our brand is about stories," Rouhana says.
Curating copy
The essence of the brand, then, will remain in books.
Each year, Newmark tries to publish another 12 to 18 titles. She comes up with the concepts for future titles herself. She then invites fans, familiar writers and strangers to submit stories out of their personal lives that speak to a given theme. Ultimately, she'll select 101 of the best stories to include in every book.
Currently, she's seeking entries for books that will likely publish in 2015. They're called "Angels in Our Midst," "Christmas in Canada," "Stories ABOUT Moms," "Stories about the Christmas Season," "Stories BY Moms, and "The Power of Forgiveness."
About five years ago, she wanted to put together a book for runners. Her son, a part owner of the company, had a word of advice.
Get in touch with Dean Karnazes, he said.
Changing lives
To grasp the possible power of the brand, it helps to go back to the early '90s in San Francisco.
Dean Karnazes was in his late 20s, working in marketing at global pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline. "It was a pretty male-dominated, alpha-male environment," he recalled. At a corporate retreat, his boss, a woman, handed everyone a copy of a new book called "Chicken Soup for the Soul."
"It was kind of a softer book," he said. "For her to do that to a bunch of guys, I gained huge respect."
The book struck a hard chord with Karnazes, who'd grown increasingly unhappy with life in a corporation. The night before his 30th birthday, he found himself in a bar, ready to drink the night away. Instead, he left the bar about 11 p.m. and started running -- for the first time in a decade. He ran 30 miles, straight through the night, and before long shared with his wife his desire to pursue a career as a professional runner. "It was terrifying," he said. "But it just felt right, not brazen or bold, to just trust your heart."
His ability to walk away from a good-paying job, to launch himself into a sport that generally doesn't pay well, even if you're top-notch, draws from the same philosophical well that courses its way through each Chicken Soup book. "Follow your passion," is the way Karnazes describes it. "Life is about more than chasing dollars."
Since then the dollars have been chasing Karnazes, who became the world's most-famous ultra-marathon runner. He's gained fame with such huge acts of endurance as completing 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states -- or running across 120-degree Death Valley, or pushing himself for 350 continuous miles in three days
Once, about five years ago, he recalled arriving home from a race in Brazil, feeling jet-lagged, and getting a phone call from Connecticut. It was Newmark, asking if he would collaborate on a Chicken Soup for the Soul book that she wanted to publish about running. He was intrigued, he recalls, but wanted to put off the conversation for a couple of days.
"Then she said something to me in Portuguese," he said. "She's a maverick. We had a two-hour conversation."

The book, "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Runners," appeared in 2010. Since then, the feedback has been "tremendous," Karnazes said in a phone interview from Boston on Friday.
He was in Boston to participate in Monday's marathon. He'd soon be heading to the marathon expo, the pre-race gathering point for runners, sponsors and vendors. He'd be signing posters, posing for pictures, and likely hearing something about the Chicken Soup book. "People always bring over copies of it for me to sign," he said. "Most of the time they're well-read. A typical story is, `I passed this book along to 10 buddies.' And I'm looking at it, and it looks like they all went running with it."
Karnazes wants to collaborate on another Chicken Soup book about general adventuring: triathlons, mountain climbing, scuba diving, he said. "Moving beyond your comfort zone, trying new challenges," he said. "I have this thing: show me a man who's content, and I'll show you an underachiever."
If tapping into that can-do spirit is good for business, then Newmark and Rouhana could be sitting pretty. On a recent afternoon, Rouhana sat behind his desk, which was neatly arranged with about 12 stacks of papers. That morning, he'd seen a group of people from the Lifetime cable network about a possible TV series. He had a woman from the food industry in a nearby conference room. He thought about the Chicken Soup feature film, which is "very far along," he said, and the soups and pasta sauces being sold in supermarkets as far away as Texas.
"Any company I've ever been involved with, the learning curve is straight uphill," he said.
In a recent letter to a few investors, who are all friends, he'd updated them on the business, he said. "It was like seven pages long, and six pages were about everything we did wrong the past six months." He broke into a wry smile.
"And the last page was, `Oh, by the way, revenues are up four-fold, and profits are up six-fold.'"

We praise You and acknowledge You, O God, to be the Lord,
The Father everlasting, by all the earth adored.
To You all angel powers cry aloud, the heavens sing,
The cherubim and seraphim their praises to You bring:
"O holy, holy, holy Lord God of Sabaoth;
Your majesty and glory fill the heavens and the earth!"
The band of the apostles in glory sing Your praise;
The fellowship of prophets their deathless voices raise.
The martyrs of Your kingdom, a great and noble throng,
Sing with the holy Church throughout all the world this song:
"O all-majestic Father, Your true and only Son,
And Holy Spirit, Comforter—forever Three in One!"
You, Christ, are King of glory, the everlasting Son,
Yet You, with boundless love, sought to rescue ev'ryone:
You laid aside Your glory, were born of virgin's womb,
Were crucified for us and were placed into a tomb;
Then by Your resurrection You won for us reprieve—
You opened heaven's kingdom to all who would believe.
You sit in splendid glory, enthroned at God's right hand,
Upholding earth and heaven by forces You command.
We know that You will come as our Judge that final day,
So help Your servants You have redeemed by blood, we pray;
May we with saints be numbered where praises never end,
In glory everlasting. Amen, O Lord, Amen!

Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies escorted attorneys into a Cerritos home believed to be the residence of the man behind a movie that may have sparked violence in the Middle East and North Africa.
Deputies on Friday were outside the Cerritos home, which according to property records is owned by Nakoula Besseley Nakoula.
Nakoula is suspected of being behind the anti-Islam film "The Innocence of the Muslims."
Outside the home, one of his attorneys addressed the media (pictured, below), saying "You are holding his children hostage. Please leave."
Early reports suggested that a group of Libyans were provoked to attack the embassy by the anti-Islamic film made in Southern California.
But U.S. officials are also probing the possibility that it was a planned attack, timed to coincide with the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
A federal grand jury indictment in February 2009 charged Nakoula in an alleged bank fraud conspiracy. The indictment accused him and others of fraudulently obtaining the identities and Social Security numbers of bank customers at Wells Fargo and withdrawing $860 from bank branches in Cerritos, Artesia and Norwalk.
Los Angeles County District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons confirmed that Nakoula served a year in jail after pleading guilty to possession of meth with the intent to manufacture in 1997.

About the Author
Here Be LionsHere Be Lions takes its name from the ancient mapping tradition in which explorers marked unknown, dangerous territory with a symbol and the phrase "Here Be Lions." Originally meant as a warning, the phrase has become a call for the Here Be Lions team to advance God's kingdom and authority. They do so through focusing on discipleship, music and community with three ministry outreaches: Be Fierce, a discipleship resource for men, All About Worship, a worship resource for churches, and Healing Is Right, a resource for the sick and hurting.
The Here Be Lions worship team, including Smith, his wife Jeanna, James Galbraith, Jordan Clause, Jeremy Weedman and Garner McGregor, aspires to create music that welcomes the power and presence of God in expectation of salvation, healing and restoration.

"Two years ago we received an email in our junk mail box which we shouldn't have really opened, but we did anyway," recall designers Lesley Hansard and Rebecca Welsh of the introduction to their artisans. "A young man found our website and said he loved our designs and would love to work with us."
It was perfect timing for the duo: After 14 years of hand-felting their own designs, they were considering new manufacturing options. "We jumped on the next plane and trained the Nepali felt-makers to make our designs. We met the whole family and became good friends."
Hansard and Welsh go to great lengths to ensure their artisans have access to health insurance. Working conditions are a top priority. Their Nepali partners maintain fair treatment, allowing artisans to bring small children to work.
"It's great to learn new skills," they beam. "We're becoming business women as well as felt-makers."

/WL (Enable One-Line Diagnostics)
Appends additional information to an error or warning message.
Error and warning messages from the C++ compiler can be followed by additional information that appears, by default, on a new line. When you compile from the command line, the additional line of information can be appended to the error or warning message. This might be desirable if you capture your build output to a log file and then process that log to find all errors and warnings. A semicolon will separate the error or warning message from the additional line.
Not all error and warning messages have an additional line of information. The following code will generate an error that has an additional line of information; it will let you test the effect when you use /WL.
// compiler_option_WL.cpp
// compile with: /WL
#include <queue>
int main() {
std::queue<int> q;
q.fromthecontinuum(); // C2039
To set this compiler option in the Visual Studio development environment
Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see How to: Open Project Property Pages.
