How can I sell securely online?
Here at Groovycart we take security very seriously, this is one of our top priorities. We know that privacy and security is of the utmost importance when customers are buying online, we have put in measures to ensure that all personal information is secure and that your customers can make transactions with confidence.
We worry about security so you don't have to.
- All passwords are one-way encrypted (as soon as you enter your password it is encrypted and can never be reversed), using industry standard algorithms. No one, not even the staff can find out what your password is (and we will never ask for it).
- Key items of your personal information are encrypted at database level, again using industry standard algorithms.
- All payment transactions are done securely with SSL 128bit encryption. This is an industry standard encryption that stops attackers reading your payment information when you send it to us.
- Access to the database is restricted to the GroovyCart application and to technical staff only.
- Your personal data is encrypted, even the technical staff cannot read it.
- The backups are specific to our server set-up and the data remains encrypted.
- All data, including backups, are held in the UK and only accessed by UK staff and are therefore covered by the Data Protection Act. (for more information on The Data Protection Act and your rights see http://www.opsi.gov.uk/Acts/Acts1998/ukpga_19980029_en_1)
- We have a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for managing customer contacts, such as customers reporting faults. Our CRM can only be accessed from our internal network (not the world-wide-web). Access to our CRM system is restricted and controlled by user login and roles.
- When making payment transactions to PayPal, Google Checkout and Ogone we only pass on the bare-minimum of information.
- No other information is passed on to any third-party companies.
- We do not hold any credit card information.
- We use two firewalls to protect our server, a software firewall and a hardware firewall.
- Cookies, In order to use GroovyCart it is necessary to put a small file, called a cookie, onto your computer. This is used to maintain the session between your computer and the GroovyCart server. If deleted or removed it will be re-created next time you use GroovyCart. This cookie does not contain any personal information.
- Your IP address is treated as personal information and is retained for security reasons. We do not give your IP address to third-parties or link it to any other information that could be used to build a profile about you.

Bradshaw Crandell: Impressionable
By guest authorKent Steine
He was born John Bradshaw Crandell, June 14, 1896 in Glen Falls, New York.
(Above: Of Bette Davis, Crandell remarked, "She was a swell model, and was always on time." Davis sat for Crandell on three separate occasions, with each session lasting about 2 hours. He encouraged his models to talk while he worked, claiming, "It helps make the picture interesting.")
Brad, as friends knew him, became interested with art through the majestic covers of the various periodicals of the time. Magazines like Colliers, The Saturday Evening Post, Century and others were the forms of entertainment. They were as recognizable and accessible as the nightly news on television is today. And like this modern day parallel, the person who delivered this product was as important as the product itself.
(Above: This charcoal study was produced during the 1930's, and was a variation of several images ultimately used by Palmolive.)
By the time Crandell graduated from high school, he knew that he wanted to produce artwork for the covers of these great publications. After graduation, he moved to Chicago and began attending classes at the Art Institute. Although his stay there would be brief (6 months), he most likely had the opportunity to study with Vanderpoel.
(Above: Although the precise date of this little editorial piece in the NYT is unknown, the reference to Crandell taking over for Harrison Fisher at Cosmopolitan, and McClelland Barclay, respectively place this between 1935 and 1943.)
Famed anatomist John H. Vanderpoel was the drawing instructor at the Institute, and various students of his were contemporaries of Crandell's. Artists such as Rolf Armstrong and George Petty studied under Vanderpoel. The great J.C. Leyendecker himself credited Vanderpoel with much of his success as a draughtsman and illustrator.
(Above: The study presented here, was produced around 1938. It was unsigned, and possibly a preliminary sketch for a calendar reproduction. Characteristically large, at 20" x 33", it was undoubtedly drawn from life, and lighted with absolute precision.)
For reasons unknown, Crandell stopped attending classes at the "Institute", and enrolled at Wesleyan University. While he was at Wesleyan, World War I erupted in Europe. Crandell interrupted his education and enlisted in the Navy serving as a Machinist's 1st mate.
(Above: At 25 1/2" x 18 3/4", the 1940 cover of Cosmopolitan typified Brad's working dimensions for his pastel pictures. Using a variety of boards and papers, some were as large as 30" x 40".)
After a medical discharge, he returned to New York and worked in the canteen at the Bryant Park YMCA as a cashier. It was during this period he met and married Myra Clarke.
* Kent Steine is an artist, author and teacher. His renowned series of "Masters" articles for Step-By-Step magazine remain some of the best ever written on the history of illustration. With this week being the anniversary of Bradshaw Crandell's death, I'm very grateful to Kent for sharing the story of this fabulous artist with us. An abridged version of this week's series of posts originally appeared as an article in SXS magazine.

""he most likely had the opportunity to study with Vanderpoel."" ~ That is most improbable, Crandell was 15 when Vanderpoel died (May 2, 1911) while on a year's leave of absence to teach in St. Louis.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Leif---regarding the caricature of Crandell, it's actually from a syndicated caricature feature called 'Major Operations' which was drawn by world renowned quick sketch caricaturist Henry Major during the 1930's.ReplyDelete
'Bugs' Baer was the writer...
It also didn't run in the NYT's as it was a Hearst feature. The strip ran primarily in their papers...

Many Pairs of Eyes
Let me tell you a reason why open source and open communities are great: information sharing.
Let me explain…
I am Cisco's representative to the Open MPI project, a middleware implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard that facilitates big number crunching and parallel programming. It's a fairly large, complex code base: Ohloh says that there are 0ver 674,000 lines of code. Open MPI is portable to a wide variety of platforms and network types.
However, supporting all the things that MPI is suppose to support and providing the same experience on every platform and network can be quite challenging. For example, a user posted a problem to our mailing list the other day about a specific feature not working properly on OS X.
This was unfortunately a well-known problem; we'd had a bug about this issue logged in our tracker for over 2 years — but had been unable to fix it. The issue had to do with some deep linker voodoo semantics that are unique to OS X, and, sadly, we hadn't been able to get anyone at Apple to help us.
So the bug sat there. Unfixed. 🙁
A few hours after I replied to the user's post that we didn't know how to solve the issue (which is a pretty hard thing for an engineer to admit, by the way), I got an off-list email that provided the exact information that I needed to fix the bug. Woo hoo!
What is surprising is that the person who provided the answer was Dave Goodell, a developer from a competing open source project: MPICH2 (another implementation of the MPI standard).
Dave and I have actually known each other for several years. We trade information not-infrequently. We do this:
- because we can
- because it helps both of our projects
- because it helps our users
The fact of the matter is that having two, large competing projects is a Good Thing: not only does it provide choice for users, having multiple implementations of a single public standard is great for checks-and-balances kinds of reasons.
Kudos and thanks to Dave for solving this specific issue!
The moral of the story: sharing information across organization (and project) boundaries is enabled by the fact that we're open communities. Of course, unsolicited/altruistic information sharing doesn't always happen, but the fact that it is possible is what creates great potential for open source projects.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

It has been almost 2years since I commenced my blog-site
"All Things French"
with much encouragment from my niece who helped me set it up .
I remember thinking at the time that no one would want to
see my photos and I was so delighted when I received 2 comments
for my very first post on "Maison Stohrer"
Because my photos pool is running low -I have decided to take a break until early next year when
all being well I will return to La Belle France with my camera in tow.
Thank you all for the encouragement and kindness you have given me along the way
it has been a delightful journey!
Merci et Au Revoir

Top 25 Social Security Questions
Confused about when to claim or whether you're eligible for benefits? We have answers
En español | Here are the most frequently asked questions about Social Security that AARP has received from you.
See also: 10 things you should know about Social Security.
1. I am about to turn 62 and plan to file for Social Security. How do I get started?
You should apply three months before you want to start collecting. Sign up online or call 1-800-772-1213. Here are some documents you may have to produce: your Social Security card or a record of the number; your birth certificate; proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful alien status; military discharge papers if you served before 1968; and last year's W-2 tax form or tax return if you're self-employed.
2. How is my Social Security benefit calculated?
Benefits are based on the amount of money you earned during your lifetime – with an emphasis on the 35 years in which you earned the most. Plus, lower-paid workers get a bigger percentage of their preretirement income than higher-paid workers. In 2010, the average monthly benefit for retirees is $1,172.
3. If I remarry, can I still collect Social Security benefits based on my deceased first husband's record?
You can — subject to several rules. In general, you cannot receive survivor benefits if you remarry before age 60 unless that marriage ends, too, whether by annulment, divorce or death of your new husband. If you remarry after age 60 (50 if disabled), you can still collect benefits on your former spouse's record. After you reach 62, you may get retirement benefits on the record of your new spouse if they are higher.
4. Why won't retirees get a cost-of-living adjustment for 2011? Many of us count on this for food, medicine and other bills.
COLAs are based on the consumer price index, which tracks inflation. Because inflation has been flat, according to the CPI, there will be no benefit increase — for the second year in a row. AARP is calling on Congress to provide beneficiaries with financial relief.
5. I am 56 and receive Social Security disability benefits. At what point will I switch to regular Social Security? Will the monthly amount change?
When you reach full retirement age, your disability benefits will automatically convert to retirement benefits. The amount will remain the same.
6. My friend died at 66. She worked full time and had not applied for benefits. What happens to the money she contributed to Social Security? Can her children claim benefits?
The money people contribute goes into a fund from which benefits are paid to eligible workers and their families. These include a widower, a surviving divorced husband, dependent parents, disabled children, and children if they have not aged out.
7. My husband and I are getting a divorce. He wants the settlement agreement to say I will not get his Social Security benefits. Can he do that?
No, he has no control over your future benefits. You can qualify for a divorced spouse's benefits if you were married at least 10 years, are now unmarried, are 62 or older, and if any benefit from your own work record would be less than the divorced spouse's benefit.
8. Cleaning out my mother's home after her death, we found Social Security checks from the 1980s. Can we cash them?
No. The checks are negotiable for only 12 months after issue.
9. My man and I have lived together for over seven years. If he dies, can I collect his Social Security benefits?
If your state recognizes your common-law marriage, then you'll likely be eligible for survivor benefits. But you'll have to provide evidence that includes sworn statements, mortgage or rent receipts, or insurance policies.
10. Do my Social Security contributions go into a personal retirement account for me and earn interest?
Although many people think so, the answer is no. Social Security operates under a pay-as-you-go system, which means that today's workers pay for current retirees and other beneficiaries. Workers pay 6.2 percent of their wages up to a cap of $106,800; employers pay the same. The money that younger people contribute will pay for our benefits when we retire.
Next: Will Army pension affect your Social Security benefits? >>
11. How much money does the U.S. government owe to the Social Security trust fund, and will it be repaid?
To prepare for the boomers' retirement, Social Security has collected more in taxes than it pays in benefits. Surplus funds go into the trust fund and are invested in U.S.-guaranteed Treasury bonds. In 2009, the trust fund held $2.5 trillion in bonds and earned 4.9 percent in interest. These bonds are just as real as U.S. Treasury bonds held by mutual funds or foreign banks. Ultimately, it's up to the American people to ensure the government keeps its promise to retirees, just as it would to other investors.
12. I have a pension from the Army. Will that affect my Social Security benefits?
It will not. You can get both your Social Security benefits and your military pension. If you served in the military before 1957, you did not pay Social Security taxes, but you will receive special credit for some of that service. Special credits also are available to people who served from 1957 to 1967 and from 1968 to 2001.
13. I didn't work enough to qualify for Social Security. My husband gets it, but he is ill and may not live much longer. Will I be able to collect benefits?
Yes, but your benefit will depend on your age and situation: If you are at full retirement age or older, you'll get 100 percent of your deceased husband's benefit. A widow or widower between 60 and full retirement age receives a reduced benefit.
14. Is it true that some people are collecting Social Security benefits who never paid into the system?
Social Security is an earned benefit. In order to collect a retirement benefit, a worker must pay into the system for at least 10 years. In some cases, nonworking family members, such as a spouse, may be eligible for benefits based on the worker's record. Tough rules in place assure that only legal residents can collect Social Security benefits.
15. I filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy after being laid off. Do Social Security benefits count as income in bankruptcy, or are they protected?
Your benefits are protected. Social Security is excluded from the calculation of disposable income when setting up a debtor repayment plan.
Next: Can you receive Social Security in a foreign country? >>
16. My husband died recently. Can I choose between my own benefit and that as a widow? Can I collect both?
Eligibility for a widow's benefit begins at age 60, or 50 if you are disabled. If you are full retirement age, your survivor benefit will be 100 percent of his benefit; if you take it early, the amount will be reduced. You can switch to your own benefit as early as 62. In any event, you can only get one benefit, whichever is higher.
17. I began drawing Social Security at age 62 in 2006, but I'm still working. Since I'm still paying Social Security taxes, will my benefits increase?
If your latest work years are among your highest-earning years, the SSA refigures your benefit and pays you any increase due. This is automatic, with new benefits starting in December of the following year.
18. My wife is 62 and collects Social Security based on her own work record. Can she receive spousal benefits based on my record when I retire in a few years?
If she is eligible for both benefits, yours and hers, Social Security will pay her own benefits first. If she is due additional benefits, she will get a combination of benefits equaling the higher spousal benefit.
19. Why would changes in Social Security be considered as a way to help balance the federal budget?
Some policymakers say all spending, including Social Security, should be cut. Social Security has not contributed to the deficit. In fact, the trust fund is projected to reach $4.3 trillion by 2023. AARP believes that Social Security benefits should not be targeted to reduce the deficit.
20. If I retire to a foreign country, can I have my Social Security benefits sent there?
If you are a U.S. citizen, you may receive your benefits in most foreign countries, usually by check or direct deposit. If you are not a U.S. citizen, the answer is more complicated, with certain rules applying to certain countries. For specifics, see the Social Security publication "Your Payments While You Are Outside the United States."
21. I started collecting Social Security at 62. I heard that if I changed my mind, I could pay back the amount I'd collected and get a higher payment. Is that possible?
That used to be true, but the Social Security Administration just published new regulations that curtail this option. Now, if you want to suspend your benefits, you must do so within 12 months after first receiving them. According to Social Security, 85 to 90 percent of beneficiaries who withdraw their applications do so within this time frame anyway. The new rules, which became effective Dec. 8, 2010, also specify that beneficiaries are limited to one refiling in a lifetime.
22. Can I collect Social Security and unemployment compensation at the same time?
Yes. Unemployment benefits aren't counted as wages under Social Security's annual earnings test, so you'd still receive your benefit. However, the amount of your unemployment benefit could be cut if you receive a pension or other retirement income, including Social Security and railroad retirement benefits. Contact your state unemployment office for information on whether your state applies a reduction.
23. I am 63 and collecting Social Security. If I work, will my benefit be cut?
It depends on your income. Between age 62 and the start of the year when you reach full retirement age, $1 in benefits is withheld for every $2 you earn above a limit, which is $14,160 in 2010. In the year you reach full retirement age, $1 is withheld for every $3 above another limit, $37,680 in 2010. In your birthday month, the limits go away — and your benefit will be recalculated upward to compensate for the money that was withheld.
24. I'm 50. Will Social Security be there when I retire?
The Social Security trust fund, where accumulated assets are held, currently contains about $2.5 trillion. According to the system's board of trustees, that money and continuing tax contributions will allow payment of all benefits at current rates until 2037. After that, there still will be enough tax revenue coming in to pay about 78 percent of benefits. Congress is being urged to make financial fixes to Social Security to ensure it will be there for you.
25. I know I can start collecting Social Security at age 62. But should I?
That depends. If you're healthy and can afford it, you should consider waiting until you reach your full retirement age of 66, or even 70. Here's why.
By law, the age when workers can qualify for full benefits is gradually increasing, from 65 to 67. (It will be 67 for anyone born after 1960.) If you claim benefits before reaching full retirement age, they'll be reduced. That's because the goal set by Congress is to pay the same lifetime benefits to an individual regardless of when they're initially claimed.
So let's say you claim benefits at age 62 and get $1,000 a month. If you can wait until you're 66, you'll get at least 33 percent more ($1,333). And if you can wait until you're 70, you'll get at least 75 percent more ($1,750).
Social Security determines the amount of your benefits based, in part, on your highest 35 years of earnings. So you may get a larger monthly benefit if your extra years of work are your top earning years.

A trip to one of the many aviation conferences that highlight vertical lift machines will reveal the fast-paced progress of rotorcraft technology. The desire to fly higher, faster, farther, and longer in rotary wing machines has become an increasingly important design point to many large manufacturers.
The small Wichita Falls, Texas-based aviation research and development firm of Carter Aviation Technologies sees the importance of these design points as well. In contrast, they have been trying to exploit the simplicity of the not-so-new autogyro concept, integrating it with their "slowed rotor/compound technology" (SR/C) with the intent of producing a fast, efficient aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). In a recent interview with Rotor & Wing, President and CEO Jay Carter shared his thoughts and answered some questions about their current prototype – the Carter PAV, and his company's vision.
Rotor & Wing: For those who are unfamiliar, can you explain the benefits of your slowed rotor/compound technology?
Carter: Our aircraft is really a hybrid between a helicopter, an autogyro, and a fixed-wing airplane. The rotor is driven by the air flowing up through the rotor, like wind through a wind turbine, providing lift at low speed like a helicopter. It can be pre-spun to allow for a jump-takeoff. Our wing is sized for high-speed flight and does most of the lifting as speed increases. We have the ability to slow the rotor down in flight, which greatly reduces its drag and the horsepower required to keep the rotor spinning. Our high aspect ratio wing has no high-lift devices, keeping it simple and light. The wing design in combination with slowing the rotor lets us fly closer to our best lift-to-drag ratio at higher speeds. This allows us to achieve very high forward speed and exceptional efficiency. The ultra-high inertia rotor allows us to land like a helicopter with little or no forward speed.
Rotor & Wing: One of your most publicized achievements recently would be the breaking of the "Mu-1 barrier." What is it and why is it important to your design goals?
Carter: Mu-1 is nothing more than an engineering ratio. It is the aircraft forward speed divided by the rotor tip speed relative to the aircraft. At Mu-1, the tip speed of the retreating blade is zero, and all the flow inboard of the tip is reversed over the airfoil. This causes problems with dissymmetry of lift and rotor instability, and in fact there were 10 issues that we had to resolve before we could safely slow the rotor down to achieve Mu-1.
Flying at a Mu greater than one will allow us to fly very fast. Since the RPM of the advancing blade is slower than the aircraft airspeed, this will keep the advancing blade tip speed slow enough to avoid critical Mach and the associated increase in drag. Since the rotor is controlled to produce very little lift in this condition, we will not have to worry about retreating blade stall.
Rotor & Wing: You hold many patents. Which of your technical innovations would you say contributed the most to your success in achieving Mu-1?
Carter: Probably four or five of them. But the fore and aft tilting mast is very important to hold the proper angle of attack and control the rotor RPM. Also, the tip weights at the ends of the rotor help to move the blade's center of gravity to 75-80 percent of the blade's chord, instead of the more conventional 25 percent chord. This helps with instability on the retreating blade encountered above Mu-1.
Rotor & Wing: You've often said your designs are scalable both up and down. Let's talk about the high inertia rotor. What engineering challenges do you see in trying to scale it up to 150 foot diameter, as mentioned on your website?
Carter: Our rotor design is very clever. Even though it has a lot of tip weight, it remains very simple. It has a twistable spar and no hinges. Its stiffness will keep it away from any rotational natural frequencies. Since there is no swashplate it can easily be scaled up with no issue.
Rotor & Wing: There has been an explosion of interest in unmanned aerial systems (UAS) over the last few years, and in September 2013, Carter received a contract to be one of five teams to participate in a Phase I study for DARPA's Tactically Exploited Reconnaissance Node (TERN) project. The shipboard mission presents many challenges, mostly in landing during a "class five sea state," when there is likely the need for precise control and the ability to hover. For this project, how do you intend on powering the rotor? Will the ultra-high inertia rotor present challenges in achieving precise cyclic control?
Carter: We don't have to have a powered rotor. We can get by with what we have, but this rotor will have full collective control. We don't expect to require the ability to hover. This is due in part to our very strong landing gear, able to withstand loads associated with a class five sea state. Also the very high inertia in the rotor will give us plenty of stored energy to complete the landing. Precise control will be aided by GPS. Many small subcontractors have partnered with us over the larger manufacturers to help us with this project.
Rotor & Wing: In 2009 you entered into a licensing agreement with Textron Systems subisidary AAI, giving them exclusive access to the SR/C technology for all unmanned aerial applications. What's the status of that deal?
Carter: They were not moving forward as we had hoped, and so Carter Aviation bought back the licensing from AAI.
Rotor & Wing: As a small aviation company trying to develop a technology, funding can be hard to come by. You've been able to continue development for many years. Is there anyone you'd like to thank for the continued support?
Carter: I have private investors who have stuck their neck out and believed in this technology and have supported us beyond what would be a normal investment because they believe this can be a game-changer and they're happy to be a part of it. I've been fortunate that we have people like that, who will step forward when we need some help. It's a team effort.
Rotor & Wing: What would you say your biggest challenge is?
Carter: Our greatest challenge is obtaining funding and demonstrating the technology to the doubters. We have to do something that is so dramatic; something that will get the attention of upper management that will be like hitting them over the head with a two-by-four.
With proposed performance such as flying at 500 mph and altitudes of 30,000-40,000 feet, while carrying payloads over 1,000 miles, the Carter Aviation team has lofty goals for sure. Although they've never sold a product, they've been in business for 20 years. The greatest benefit to Carter Aviation will come when they produce repeatable flight test data that shows they could meet the mission spec of any one of their proposed variants. Until this happens, their tenacity, faith in their product, and willingness to push the limit of what they know to achieve what they believe, remain as the things that cannot be denied.

Sticks & Bricks Lyrics
I am fueled by all forms of failure.
I paid the price, so I'll take what's mine.
Bet ya didn't see that one coming,
'cause I do as I please and apologize for nothing.
My time is flying but I'm still second to none.
Always shining the brightest, when I'm place under the gun. (God damn)
So here I stand, the only son of a working-class man.
I won't be held back, I can't be held down.
Where were you when my walls came falling down?
You tried to hide; you stood close by, and didn't make a sound.
Where were you when it all came back around?
The reasons why you passed me by will always hold you down.
Find you some paper, and I'll go grab you a pen.
You can start taking notes on this all started again.
Been dead last, but found my way to the front.
With my inspirational quotes on why I never gave up.
If you can't stand the pressure
stay the fuck out of my way.
I know my place.
This one goes out to everyone who's lied to my face.
I'm making a difference,
I'm taking a chance.
You can say what you want about me,
but no one can tell me I can't.

As warmage, I use SmartBB to keep 3 High Voltage stacks on bosses. But since I obtain the 70 elite skill, which modify the buff, it doesn't appear in SmartBB.
I think the reason is, even if the name "High voltage" is the same, the buff ID changed.
I hope someone could help me to add the 3 new buffs (High voltage I, II and III) in SmartBB.
Finally I found a macro to get first buff's ID : /script i=1 while UnitBuff("player",i) ~= nil do nn,__,__,ii = UnitBuff("player",i) SendSystemChat(nn..", "..ii) i = i+1 end
So, to add the new "High voltage" buffs in SmartBB, add the ids 622952, 622953 and 622954.

Golf cart driver charged with DWI
GALVESTON - A Houston man was charged with drunken driving following a Sunday incident in which he was driving a golf cart and a passenger fell from the vehicle and suffered a serious head injury, a Galveston police spokesman said Monday.
Ronald Machac, 58, and passenger Mark McKenna, 53, of Galveston, were returning from a dock on Galveston following an afternoon of boating, police spokesman Sgt. Joshua Schirard said. McKenna fell from the cart and struck his head on the pavement as Machac turned into the driveway of a house on Liberty Drive, Schirard said.
Police said they received a call at about 7:42 p.m. and determined that Machac had been drinking. Schirard said Machac failed sobriety tests and his blood was drawn to be analyzed for its alcohol content. The results had not been received as of Monday. Schirard said more serious charges could be added to the DWI charge.
McKenna was in critical condition on Monday at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Schirard said. Machac was released after posting bail on a $5,000 bond. If convicted of drunken driving, he could face up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000.

One of my favorite toys last year was Jakks Pacific's EyeClops, a magnifier that you can hook up to your tv and see anything really up close (your skin, the rug, anything that you can reach or bring to the EyeClops). Seeing your skin that blown up is really, really interesting (and delightfully gross). Everyone wanted to play with this product when we tested it.
This year the company is bringing out Eye Clops BioniCam that allows you to move around and capture images at 100x, 200x or 400x magnification. You can record the images and view them on the color LCD screen. Best yet, you can then take them back to your television or computer and look at the images on a larger screen. When hooked up to the computer you can print or email your discoveries. Fun for science projects! (Yes this is another USB opportunity!) The suggested age range is 6 & up–but I think it will be most enjoyed by the 9 & up crowd. Suggested retail is $79.99.
We look forward to testing this one!

On a recent rainy afternoon
(we've been having a lot of them this spring!)
The girls and I decided to decorate tissue boxes
for their rooms.
This simple project takes less than an hour and was
successful for both of my girls (ages 6 and 2)
It's nice to come up with
art projects that
both girls
can participate in.
First, we wrapped the box in some
left-over (re-cycled) wrapping paper
to block the designs on the box.
We used glue stick and a bit of double-sided
CM tape-runner tape.
Next, we added a strip of
cut paper green grass.
Again, green paper from the recycling in the art studio.
The girls raided the crafty foam sticker stash
in our art room and had fun telling me stories
about their critters on their boxes.
(Note: These would be cute with regular stickers
or cut paper pictures as well!)
Mini-Saurus REALLY liked using the stickers
and was so proud of her project that she's shown
it to everyone who has been to our house since she made it!

As more and more patients look to the Internet for the supply of medicines, IFPMA, PhRMA, EFPIA, and JPMA are united in the effort to protect their safety. We are committed to promoting access to safe and efficacious medicines, advocating for robust patient education and awareness, and combating unsafe medicines, including those sold by illegitimate online drug sellers that circumvent laws, regulations and pharmacy standards put in place to protect patients and their health.
IFPMA, PhRMA, EFPIA, and JPMA support and encourage the individual and cooperative work of the United States Government, the European Union (EU), individual EU member states, Japan, and international organizations to reduce the illegal sale of medicines by illegitimate online drug sellers that endanger public health. We support the efforts of Interpol, as well as regulatory and law enforcement authorities in the above countries to intensify their investigations into the criminal networks behind illegitimate online drug sellers and to increase inspections and detainments of the thousands of small packages of fake medicines being shipped in the mail by these networks, purchased online by unknowing consumers.
We support and encourage voluntary and cooperative efforts by the private sector to reduce illegal sales of medicines by illegitimate online drug sellers, noting that it is essential for businesses, including Internet service providers, Internet domain registrars, advertising brokers, payment processors and search engine operators, to work collaboratively to identify best practices and advocate policy solutions aimed at combating illegal online drug sellers that endanger public health.
In particular, we welcome the voluntary decision taken by Google and Go Daddy and several other companies to form a US-based nonprofit organization, the Center for Safe Internet Pharmacies (CSIP), which announced publicly in 2010 its decision to take voluntary steps to aid law enforcement, educate the public, and share information related to illegitimate online drug sellers that endanger the public health. By working together, these companies have the ability to stop criminals from using their services to sell fake versions of medicines to patients. We encourage CSIP to achieve their proclaimed objectives, including by creating codes of conduct and best practices that can serve as a model to others and help to reduce the growing number of illegitimate online drug sellers that prey on unsuspecting consumers.
We call upon the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which oversees the assignment of generic top level domains and accredits domain registrars, to take appropriate actions and ensure accountability measures in order to protect Internet users from illegitimate online sites that are engaged in the illicit sale of prescription medicines.
We call on appropriate international organizations and governments, including the governments of the United States, EU, EU member states, and Japan, to sustain oversight and enforcement, in accordance with national legislation, regarding illegal sales of medicine on the Internet and to focus more closely on the growing number of illegitimate online drug sellers that directly endanger public health and safety by violating existing laws, regulations, and standards put in place to protect patients.
As part of this strategy, we encourage these governments to collaborate in order to address this challenge, and to support and encourage additional voluntary cooperation by private sector stakeholders, including domain name registrars, search engine operators, and payment service providers, who play a critical role in the solution.
We encourage all governments that identify this issue as a patient safety threat to explore opportunities to strengthen laws and law enforcement tools to address the growing number of illegitimate online pharmacies that endanger public health.
An important component of all of these efforts is the need to increase public education and awareness as to the potential dangers of purchasing medicines on the Internet from illegitimate online drug sellers. We support and encourage governments and other stakeholders to develop robust education and awareness programs to inform the public about the potential dangers of purchasing medicines onlinefrom illegitimate sellersand to raise awareness about how patients can purchase medicines safely from lawful sources.
IFPMA, PhRMA, EFPIA, and JPMA members will continue to do our part to help to protect patients and raise awareness about the dangers and rise of counterfeit medicines, including the dangers posed by illegal drug sellers operating on the Internet. We recognize that we cannot solve this problem alone, but our industry will always remain committed partners in the shared commitment to protect patient safety and global public health.
The Internet has opened the door to thousands of illegal or rogue internet sites posing as legitimate pharmacies and selling potentially unsafe medicines to unknowing consumers.1
- According to a 2012 report and data collected 2008-2012 by the U.S.-based National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, 96 percent of approximately 9,000 websites reviewed are not in compliance with state and federal laws and/or pharmacy practice and patient safety standards and pose a significant risk to consumers.
- According to the WHO, purchase of medicines via the Internet has a high chance of exposing patients/consumers to spurious, falsely labeled, falsified, orcounterfeit medicines and in over 50% of cases, medicines purchased over the Internet from illegal sites that conceal their physical address have been found to be counterfeit.
- Based on data collected by University of California San Diego researchers, the largest illegal online drug sellers may generate between $1 million and $2.5 million in sales every month.2
- According to the January 2012 report of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection on FY2011 seizures, seizures of counterfeit pharmaceuticals increased by 200 percent and seizures occurring at express consignment and mail facilities have risen by 84% since 2007 due to the continued growth of websites selling counterfeit products and a marked shift towards using international mail and express courier services to transport the illegal merchandise.3
- According to the July 2011 European Commission's annual report on European Union Customs enforcement, the number of shipments stopped by EU Customs has doubled compared to 2010, with an 82% increase in detentions of postal traffic largely due to the increase in online purchases. That report states that 69 percent of articles detained in postal traffic are medicines, and quotes Algirdas Šemeta, Commissioner for Taxation, Customs, Anti-fraud and Audit as saying: "We have experienced a spectacular increase of detentions in the postal traffic since last year: the number of cases tripled and many of the seized goods included medicines…This upward trend reflects a growing number of online purchases."4
- According to Interpol, between September 20 and 27, 2011, a law enforcement operation was carried out to target counterfeit and otherwise illegal medicines sold on the Internet. It was the fourth coordinated operation of its kind, conducted by Interpol, the Permanent Forum on International Pharmaceutical Crime and various police, customs and national medicines regulatory agencies from 81 country participants, as well as the help of the Pharmaceutical Security Institute, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), payment systems providers and delivery services. Operation Pangea IV resulted in the seizure of 2.4 million potentially harmful drugs, valued at $6.3 million. The aim of Pangea IV was to "disrupt the online criminal networks and activities connected with the selling of fake medicines online, such as credit card fraud, and to raise public awareness of the health risks linked to purchasing medicines online," said Interpol in a statement. As a result, 13,500 websites engaged in illegal activity were shut down, 45,500 packages were inspected by regulators and customs authorities, 8,000 packages were seized and 2.4 million individual doses were confiscated. 48 different countries were identified as the source of the haul, which included antibiotics, steroids, anti-cancer, anti-depression and anti-epileptic pills, as well as slimming or food supplements.5
- According to reporting to the Pharmaceutical Security Institute by its members, who are also members of IFPMA, PhRMA, EFPIA, and JPMA, incidents of counterfeiting were documented in every therapeutic category and every region of the world, and 124 countries have experienced this phenomenon.6
- Pharmaceutical Security Institute (PSI) statistics show that Asia accounts for around half of all counterfeiting, theft and illegal diversion incidents.7 Industry research has revealed at least 600 illegitimate online pharmacy websites in the Japanese language. Pharmaceutical companies in Japan reported that in 2011 the Japanese Customs Office made over 500 discoveries of illegal medicines and seized nearly 80,000 tablets. The vast majority of these drugs were purchased online.

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news
This is the girl filmed having sex with a Chinese Communist Party official in a leaked internet video which has sent shockwaves across the country, it can be revealed today.
Lei Zhengfu, a district party chief in the southwestern city of Chongqing, was fired from his position as district party secretary after the video went viral earlier this month.
It was initially said the woman was his mistress, but it has emerged she was actually a prostitute allegedly hired by a construction company to extort favourable contracts from him.
Zhao Hongxia, who was 18 at the time the video was filmed in 2007, wrote on a blog that she was paid £5,000 to sleep with Mr Lei which she used to pay for her father's medical bills.
Now a 23-year-old nurse, she said she was offered the money by the head of a property company.
>Link Info : General Issues - Honeytrap
According to the Daily Telegraph, she wrote: 'He was straightforward, asking me if I wanted to be a prostitute serving some government officials that he had a business relationship with.'
The tape has caused yet another scandal for China's ruling Communists in the city formerly led by fallen politician Bo Xilai.
But it may just be the beginning as a whistleblowing former journalist has said he may release similar tapes of more city officials soon.
The party is already reeling from the scandal which triggered Bo's purge and further battered the party's reputation in the public mind.
Chongqing, the city that he ran, has been depicted by prosecutors and state media as rife with cover-ups, abuse of power and corruption.
Bo's wife was convicted of murdering a British businessman, and Bo himself faces allegations of corruption and obstruction of justice in the murder case.
News of the sex tape, which was apparently shot in 2007, but only leaked this month, comes as China's newly installed leadership ramps up anti-corruption efforts as it deals with a steady stream of bribery and graft cases that it fears has undermined its authority.
The tape exploded on the Chinese internet on November 20 when screenshots of it were uploaded by Beijing-based former journalist Zhu Ruifeng to his Hong Kong-registered website, an independent online clearing house for corruption allegations.
The lurid images, apparently taken secretly from a bedside table, show Lei having sex with a woman.
Zhu told The Associated Press that Zhao, whose face is not visible in the screen grabs, was hired by a construction company to sleep with Lei in return for construction contracts.
The company later tried to use the tape to extort more business from Lei, he said.
Zhu said he obtained the video from someone inside the Chongqing Public Security Bureau who gave it on condition of anonymity. He said he was also given tapes implicating five other Chongqing officials but is trying to verify their content before releasing them.
Zhu said that after the blackmail attempt, Lei reported the case to Chongqing officials sometime around 2009, which led to the construction boss being jailed for a year on unrelated charges and the woman being detained for a month.
Xinhua reported yesterday that Chongqing's corruption watchdog had pledged a thorough investigation of Lei, who was dismissed on Friday, but said it had yet to formally receive a report about the allegations against Lei or the footage.
The China Daily in an editorial today said the case showed that the 'internet is worth being embraced by the country's corruption busters as a close ally'.
It also called for greater transparency in handling this and other cases, and listed a few of the lingering questions that the salacious case has thrown up.
'Strangely, the mistress was once detained and the contractor jailed for blackmailing Lei,' it said.
'What had happened? ... These are crucial questions waiting to be answered.'
With a younger set of incoming leaders announced this month in Beijing, the government is keen to show that those in power are worthy of their posts and that wrongdoers will be weeded out.
In his first remarks to the press after being appointed as the new Communist Party chief, Xi Jinping vowed to tackle corruption.
The party's corruption watchdog underlined its zero-tolerance for corruption yesterday.
'There is no place for corrupt figures to hide away within the party,' the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement quoted by the official Xinhua News Agency.
Many Chinese, however, are cynical about the allegations against high-profile party members and that they signal a true crackdown on corruption.
Many think Bo was no more or less dirty than the average Chinese politician and that he was deposed not for his behaviour but because he was on the losing end of factional power struggle.
Xiao Weilong, 30, an insurance salesman in Beijing, bemoaned how 'ordinary people can't do anything about' cases such as Lei's.
'These sorts of abnormal things have become the norm, and we don't have any say,' he said.
Zhu, the journalist who broke the Lei story, said the fact that his website had not been blocked despite the allegations it outlined was a possible sign that the government is more serious than in the past getting tough on corruption.
'Possibly what we are seeing is that the new leaders are perhaps taking steps toward enforcing the constitution, a sliver of a new dawn,' he said.

He said/He said…
The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz writes about the FNC/Tom Ricks flap…
Was Ricks being deliberately provocative? Perhaps he was, for controversy sells books. And maybe his criticism was overstated. But the fact remains that he was invited as a guest, was asked about the Libya attack, and responded in a way that made Fox's relentless coverage of the controversy part of the story. And that was deemed unacceptable.
Michael Clemente, Fox's executive vice president, told me that Ricks's conduct "felt like a stunt…That was just bush league, especially for a veteran reporter." Ricks wasn't answering the anchor's question, says Clemente, and Scott, feeling "offended," decided that "I'm not going to give this guy any more airtime."
What's more, Clemente says, Ricks "apologized" to a Fox staffer on the way out.
Ricks denies this, saying he told the staffer—who accused him of being rude—that he "might have been a bit snappish" because he was tired from his book tour. "This was in no way an apology," Ricks told me, "but rather an explanation of why I jumped a bit when the anchor began the segment with the assertion that pressure on the White House was building—which it most clearly was not."
As for the interview itself, "I was not picking a fight with Fox. I was answering their questions."
Bull. Ricks absolutely was picking a fight with FNC the same way that John Ziegler tried to pick a fight with Contessa Brewer and got booted off MSNBC. If you attack a network you are appearing on with that kind of rhetoric, you should expect to get yanked off the air. One could still make the point Ricks was trying to make without resorting to the language Ricks was using…language which left FNC with no choice but to drop him like a hot potato.
The only question I have is whether Ricks has a documented history of taking jabs at FNC. If he has, then FNC's bookers share some of the blame for bringing him on knowing what could happen.
16 Responses to "He said/He said…"
Yes, but Howie, the real question is, do you think Tom Ricks is hot?
Fritz, like most ideologues on the Left are poster boys for using fallacious arguments. Serous foreign policy wonks know he is an important guy and if you don't agree you must not be serious LOL. Idiot political hack.
Can't believe this discussion/debate. Ricks did nothing wrong. Fox is more upset with the Obama Administration then the terrorists that killed Americans. That alone should piss anyone off.

Essentially my artwork reflects contemporary factors that have led to the degradation of mankind – a reflection of mankind's destructive nature via a concordant recognition of increasing drug abuse, war, and our society's materialistic attitude towards fame and fortune. Inevitably, despite such factors, '...all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless…' (Ecclesiastes 1:14). I therefore sought to highlight my belief, in accordance with my Christian values, that all actions lead to death and therefore there is a need for life after death.

Hi. I'm sick and tired of just being a placeholder, so now that everything's all proper with you...I'd like to request a forum.
The name of the comic is Miryokuteki Monogatari, located at miryomono.keenspace.com. Don't ask me to pronounce it. Ask the webmistress, who goes by the name of Bucket. I don't know why. She's cracked.
*A shoe hits him*
Oh, yes, right, the description. Let's see...well, it takes place in Boston, and we all go to school. Then there's the fact I have three roommates, and there's also a cafe involved, and then some weird stuff with some weird people, if you ask me. Don't ask me, actually. Even I don't know what's going on.
*The other shoe hits him*
Thank you. (Walks off.)

Plasmoids that use the QML (aka QtQuick) declarative language to describe their user interface while having the logic of the applet, in JavaScript (QML is essentially a forge between CSS and JavaScript).
This is now the recommended method of creating plasmoids, where possible. The plasmoid, or applet serves as the visualization for the data which a Plasma::DataEngine contains.
It allows easily the declaring of an interface and to easily create things like ListViews with native Plasma theming. It is what Plasma is leaning the most towards, especially in the Mobile, MediaCenter shells.
Plasma has built-in JavaScript (also known as ECMAScript, and often referred to as QtScript in the context of Qt) scripting support without requiring any external dependencies.
There are some sample plasmoids written in python https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeexamples/repository/revisions/master/show/plasma/python

Critiques and responses
There is still huge interest in the Remote Sensing affair and quite what this means for the climate debate is still unclear.
One aspect of the story that has attracted a great deal of comment is the fact that Remote Sensing has not retracted the paper. As Retraction Watch puts it:
We are not in a position to critique the claims. But we are curious: If Wagner feels he published the article in error, why not simply retract it? Was it really necessary to fall on his sword to make the point that he now feels he made a mistake in publishing the paper? It's a noble gesture, and not unprecedented for editors of climate journals, but is it best for science?
Remote Sensing has now made it clear that they will not be retracting the paper.
It seems clear from Wagner's resignation letter that his understanding of the alleged flaws in Spencer's paper came from blog posts like the one at RC; there is, as yet, no formal critique of the paper in the literature. It therefore seems fairly clear that Wagner's resignation was prompted by blog posts and perhaps word of mouth from Spencer's rivals. If so, this is extraordinary and quite an indictment of climate science.
Apparently there is going to be a formal critique of the paper, which will be published in GRL in the near future. This will be interesting for sure, but one has to wonder why a critique of a paper in Remote Sensing would be published in GRL; of course the suspicion will be that the authors will expect an easy ride from the editors there. We know that prominent climatologists have expressed their satisfaction with the "plugging" of the "leaks" that had been seen at that journal in the past. Remote Sensing, on the other hand, is presumably much more of an unknown quantity to them.
And if GRL publishes a critique, what then? Will Spencer be allowed to respond? Let's hope that new editor-in-chief Eric Calais has a better grasp of the journal's rules than his predecessor, Jay Famiglietti.

Cesar Vargas, director of the DREAM Action Coalition, wrote an op-ed featured in the Houston Chronicle today criticizing Senator John Cornyn's "effort to doom immigration reform." Vargas warned that Cornyn, who is up for reelection, will face the "wrath of Texas Latino voters" if he obstructs immigration reform.
In response, Cornyn took to his Twitter account with more colorful language than usual, calling the accusations "complete BS."
"Cesar Vargas of the DREAM Action Coalition accused Sen. Cornyn of being an 'obstructionist' on immigration reform and suggested that he is trying to derail the bipartisan Senate bill drafted by the so-called Gang of Eight," Cornyn press secretary Drew Brandewie said. "The bill is a little over a week old, and Sen. Cornyn has repeatedly praised his colleagues' efforts. Last week, Sen. Cornyn laid out areas where he agreed and disagreed with the Gang of 8. He looks forward to the mark up and the continued debate on this important, complex issue."
The coalition Twitter account responded by alerting press and congressional Twitter accounts of the offensive language, including 'Gang of 8' member Sen. Marco Rubio.
@johncornyn from a politician, a vulgar outburst is often a sign of serious weakness
— DRM Action Coalition (@DRMAction) April 26, 2013
In another tweet, @DRMAction said "Texans expecting leadership on immigration reform is not 'bs'".
Vargas said the piece wasn't meant to disparage Cornyn, rather he sought to highlight his inconsistent rhetoric on the issue. He said he works with many DREAMers from Texas, and the Dream Action Coalition is hopeful that Cornyn will "stand up" to Sen. Ted Cruz on the issue of immigration.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT (publ. 10/29/2013, page A4)
An earlier version of a story about Matt Huerta of Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley incorrectly reported the family member who helped start a panaderia (bakery). It was his grandfather, not his parents.
Matt Huerta's roots are in affordable housing.
Huerta, executive director of nonprofit Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley, was born in his young parents' subsidized housing unit in Visalia in California's Central Valley. He studied community and regional development at UC Davis, where as student body president he worked with city and county officials to make affordable housing for students more available. Affordable housing has been his career ever since.
Huerta joined the Silicon Valley agency as its director in July 2011, after developing low-income housing for families and seniors in Woodland, Sacramento and Davis and affordable housing throughout the Central Coast.
In May, the nonprofit moved to new offices in downtown San Jose, where it provides counseling to low- to moderate-income would-be home owners, finds below-market-rate homes for them to buy and helps them with affordable mortgages. Through one program called "first look," it assists homebuyers in the five-county area of Alameda, Santa Clara, San Benito, Santa Cruz and Monterey.
He spoke with this paper at the organization's new downtown office. The interview was edited for length.
Q: How did your commitment to affordable housing begin?
A: My parents started out real young, and spent a few years living in subsidized housing in Visalia — that's where I was born. They worked hard — my mother as a manager at Mervyns and father at a glass shop — and eventually were able to buy a home. So it's a very personal thing for me. I look back, and I know the stability of our family, and our access to services, and even my higher education, were part and parcel of their access to good home ownership.
Q: What's standing in the way of home ownership for families starting out now in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area? Isn't household income around six figures, one of the highest in the state?
A: People look at me like I'm crazy at national conferences. They say you don't have any problems in Silicon Valley. But actually, there's a third to half of the community that doesn't earn six figures.
Q: Stratospheric housing prices must present another obstacle.
A: Affordable housing means the $300,000 to $400,000 range. The challenge for developers who are building new homes is that there's very little incentive to build at these lower price levels. But in some communities they are required to build a percentage of affordable units. We play a role in providing them with buyers in Morgan Hill, Los Gatos and Santa Clara. Not yet in San Jose, but I would like to reach out to developers to let them know that our service could be a big asset for them in finding buyers.
Q: Isn't there fierce competition for existing resale houses from investors who can pay cash on the barrel head?
A: Absolutely, that's one of biggest problems homebuyers face. You get them ready. They're very qualified, have great credit, have saved and have money for the down payment, have money in reserve and good employment. And then they put in bids and get beat out by all-cash investors. So a program we're going to roll out in the coming months will work with Realtors who have listings and we will make an all-cash offer on behalf of our client. As an example, we will qualify somebody for our first mortgage product — they'll have financing from us — and we'll find a home and then we'll make an all-cash offer to incentivize the selling agent to sell to our buyer. I'm raising about $3 million from national nonprofits to do this.
Q: There was a tremendous amount of predatory lending during the housing bubble. Do you still see the impact of that today?
A: Unfortunately, Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley has seen literally thousands of families who have faced foreclosure in the last few years. While it's dramatically reduced over the last year and a half, there's still a steady flow of anywhere from 20 to 50 families a month that are facing foreclosure. So we maintain a staff to help these families keep their homes.
Q: What can you do for them?
A: Help them with loan modifications. Help them access state and federal programs.
Q: Four big lenders had to commit $25 billion to a National Mortgage Settlement, and California now has a Homeowner Bill of Rights. How have those programs worked out locally?
A: While the National Mortgage Settlement and the Homeowner Bill of Rights have helped homeowners, they also add layers of complexity that didn't exist before. So there's more opportunity for scammers to go to households and say "I'm with HUD," or "I'm with Keep Your Home California," and take advantage of these families. If there's not a true blue counseling agency such as ours and several others in the valley, they're just going to be taken advantage of by unscrupulous lawyers and real estate agents.
