Welcome to my blog. If this is your first time here, then I bid you a warm welcome. Actually, I'm writing this in June and the studio is very hot, so I bid you an air conditioned welcome instead.
It's been a busy time both in and out of the studio. Not so busy that we could not take a family holiday, but just busy enough that the first job landed in my email box just as soon as I took the phone out of Airplane Mode when we arrived – thank goodness I'd packed the mobile studio, but then again, I always do.
Between the last blog and this one I have started recording a player character for a AAA video game title, the leading characters in three independent titles and am eagerly awaiting the release of another AAA game where I play…..well, here's the thing, that's about as much as I can tell you about any of these. Every game upon which I work starts with an NDA, so whilst I am happy to share just how busy I am, I can't actually tell you anything about the games themselves.
On top of that, it's back into the dubbing studio to play the lead role in a 19 part drama series, and then straight on to playing supporting characters in two other series, so a total of around 90 episodes of TV altogether, which is great.
Do I share these stories in order to brag? Well on the surface, it might appear so, but there's actually a lot more going on here. For the first part, maintaining a blog is important for all those lovely search engines out there. If I don't offer up something by way of content they revert to their default setting of "bloke who built a website but isn't there any more" and it can take a very long time to recover from that.
Secondly, it's because every so often I like to go back through these posts, mainly to ensure that I don't repeat myself when writing new ones but also to serve as a reminder. A reminder that there will be days in any business when things are not going that well, and those days can sometimes turn into weeks, and it's at times like those that we need to reminded that we have the ability, the drive, and indeed, the customer base to succeed.
So this blog is a note to my future self – the one who's have a slow day. Don't worry, it happens, so just take a moment to reflect on how you felt when you were as busy as the younger you writing this blog and everything will be fine.
It's the closest I can get to time travel….for now.

It is not entirely clear; if you have a better suggestion please edit the page (thanks!). Functions and scripts added to $PostConfig in config.php will be called automatically by PmWiki after config.php. The usual order is as follows: farmconfig.php, config.php, Group.Page.php, Group.php, [$PostConfig<50], stdconfig.php, [$PostConfig>=50], then HandleDispatch() to run the action=edit, diff, browse or other. This makes it possible to configure something in one place, (farm)config.php, then check, revert or add some more configurations after all other configuration and recipes has been loaded. For example, some skins use a different page for AllRecentChanges, and the skin is loaded in stdconfig.php -- if we want to allow multiple skins and all log edits in Site.AllRecentChanges regardless of the skin, we can reset this in a function defined as $PostConfig['MyFunction']=51;. --Petko January 20, 2018, at 07:51 AM
Sorry, Petko, I haven't read the code carefully enough not noticing the following (third) line that says
# but before scripts/stdconfig.php:
There is the before I missed. — MFWolff January 21, 2018, at 05:52 AM
You couldn't have noticed it, I added this line to the first example after your question :-) this way is better. --Petko January 21, 2018, at 06:07 AM

Holiday shopping: More watering cans!
November 15, 2018
You won't want to miss the Holiday Open House at The Growing Place. It's this Saturday, Nov. 17 and Sunday, Nov. 18 at both locations. I was just over to the Naperville location this week to drop off some more watering cans for sale.
Check out how nice the cans look nested in with the birds! (Aren't the birds supposed to nest? Anyway…) Pick up a couple birds with a coordinating watering can for a holiday gift. (Click on the photos for larger images.)
Happy holidays! Stay warm and safe.

Watering cans at The Growing Place!
August 9, 2018
I'm so excited to announce that I'm a guest artist at TGP! I delivered my first group of watering cans on Monday.
Of course, they had the perfect table to display them in the gazebo by the checkout area. I'm inspired every time I go there by the clever ways they display merchandise to the expert flower combinations in the planters. Checking in on my cans will be just another reason to make more frequent visits.
I would love to hear comments from anyone else who has visited one of their locations. My watering cans are in Naperville.

Beach man told FBI of alleged Spitzer sexscapades
Almost four months before Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in a sex scandal, a lawyer for Republican political operative Roger Stone sent a letter to the FBI alleging that Spitzer ''used the services of high-priced call girls'' while in Florida.
The letter, dated Nov. 19, said Miami Beach resident Stone learned the information from ''a social contact in an adult-themed club.'' It offered one potentially identifying detail: the man in question hadn't taken off his calf-length black socks ``during the sex act.''
Stone, known for shutting down the 2000 presidential election recount effort in Miami-Dade County, is a longtime Spitzer nemesis whose political experience ranges from the Nixon White House to Al Sharpton's presidential campaign. His lawyer wrote the letter containing the call-girl allegations after FBI agents had asked to speak to Stone, though he says the FBI did not specify why he was contacted.
''Mr. Stone respectfully declines to meet with you at this time,'' the letter states, before going on to offer ''certain information'' about Spitzer.
''The governor has paid literally tens of thousands of dollars for these services. It is Mr. Stone's understanding that the governor paid not with credit cards or cash but through some pre-arranged transfer,'' the letter said.
''It is also my client's understanding from the same source that Governor Spitzer did not remove his mid-calf length black socks during the sex act. Perhaps you can use this detail to corroborate Mr. Stone's information,'' the letter said, signed by attorney Paul Rolf Jensen of Costa Mesa, Calif.
The letter also notes that while Stone believes the information is true, he ''cannot swear to its accuracy'' because it is second-hand.
James Margolin, a spokesman for the FBI's New York office, would not say whether the bureau had received the letter. A spokeswoman for Spitzer also had no comment.
The letter was written several months after allegations were leveled at Stone that he had left a threatening phone message at the office of Bernard Spitzer, the ex-governor's father, regarding ''phony'' campaign loans involving his son's unsuccessful 1994 bid for attorney general. Stone denied making the call but resigned as a consultant for state Senate Republicans in Albany.
Spitzer, the crusading attorney general who became governor, resigned March 12 amid allegations he was a client of a high-paid prostitution ring, the Emperors' Club. Four people have been charged with operating the ring. Spitzer has not been charged. A federal affidavit described a rendezvous between Spitzer and a prostitute known as Kristen, since identified as Ashley Alexandra Dupre, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on Feb. 13.
One of Stone's lawyers, Fort Lauderdale attorney Robert Buschel, said the letter's release is an attempt to set the record straight about Stone's possible part in the Spitzer drama. Stone confirmed the letter and referred The Miami Herald to his lawyer for comments.
''The conspiracy enthusiasts on the Internet are going wild over Roger Stone's role in the fall of Eliot Spitzer. We felt it was important to lay out for the public exactly what Mr. Stone did tell the government,'' said Buschel, a partner in Rothstein, Rosenfeldt, Adler of Fort Lauderdale.
Stone works as a partner in a separate public affairs and consulting company with the same name -- Rothstein, Rosenfeldt, Adler -- in the same office as the law firm.
''We trust this information was helpful to federal authorities in making their case against Mr. Spitzer,'' Buschel said.

text: In the "sketch for a personalist aesthetic" in Le Personnalisme (1949), Emmanuel Mounier cautioned that the tendency towards abstraction in modern art was a sign of nihilism; but he also saw in it a promise to reveal a reality which transcends our habitual view of the world. To Mounier, there is a paradox in the nature of art: it is both realist and abstract; it deals with the reality of beings while attempting to communicate transcendence. If abstract art can avoid esotericism, it can make the personal communal and speak to the common man. This paper argues that such a personalist aesthetic is realized in Michel Henry's later phenomenology - in his monograph on Kandinsky, Voir l'invisible (1988), and his subsequent Christological meditations - which treats the possibilities to express the mystery of subjectivity in a communal personhood. Theologically, this is revealed in incarnation; aesthetically, in abstraction. For Henry, the inner life of emotions cannot be communicated by representation, but only by a radical expression of human reality in abstract art. Thereby human subjectivity is joined with the person of Christ, for the essence of art, revealed in abstraction, is the "resurrection of eternal life."

So You're Thinking of Becoming a Surrogate: Legal Contracts
You may be thinking of becoming a surrogate because you want to help people who are unable to conceive children. This is an admirable desire, and there are some legal provisions to consider.
A Legal Contract
Many states require a legal contract between you as a surrogate and the intended parents. This is commonly known as the surrogacy agreement. If you are becoming a surrogate by means of IVF (in vitro fertilization), the clinic at which you are receiving the procedure will stipulate that a surrogacy agreement must be in place before any medical procedures begin. The main purpose of the contract is to specify and clarify the outcomes of any issues that may arise during the course of the pregnancy, such as what will happen to the child should something happen to the intended parents before the baby is born, or what would happen if the baby was diagnosed with a genetic illness while in utero. The contract is designed to protect all parties and prevent any disputes from arising. Final parental establishment for the intended parents is acquired via a court order declaring the parental rights and obligations of the intended parents. As the surrogate, you will need to agree that:
- The intended parents are the sole legal parents.
- As a surrogate you are relinquishing any parental rights or obligations.
The court order will also include directions for the department of Vital Records to issue a birth certificate for the child, upon which will be placed the names of the intended parents. This is usually done before the end of the third trimester, though this may vary from state to state. If you have decided to become a surrogate, bear in mind that you should have a legal representative during the legal phase to review and interpret the contract for you. Because surrogacy legalities can be complex, it is very important to attain an attorney who has experience in reproductive technology law.

The last few days have been wildly crazy with lots and lots of stuff going on. We traveled to Lyman to see my grandma last week, visited a fabulous scrapbook store.. a fabric store... and a floral shop. It was so much fun. I found some block letters :: { F A M I L Y that I hope to cover with decorative paper and display in my home, I am having trouble finding the right paper as of yet but I am sure I will find it. We { my mom, the kids, and I } are planning another trip on Tuesday. We are traveling to Vernal UT to visit my other grandma and my cousins for the day. We have jam packed a day trip with lots of fun ::: Dinosaur Museum, the Nursery { amazing flower varieties }, and of course every scrapbook store in town.... a quick lunch and an hour at the splash park and then we will be returning home.
The kids return back to school in just a few short weeks... I have a feeling September 2nd will be here before I know it. We have been trying to squeeze in a few fun activities everyday as we wrap up the last few weeks of summer. Tayllar will be going to an all girls :: End of Summer :: sleepover tonight, she is so excited... I am sure they will have lots of fun.
Hopefully I will get back into the stamping over the weekend and most definitely toward the end of next week as things unwind a bit. I have been organizing everything to get ready for some ::: { Power Scrapbooking... I purchased a Cricut Expressions and a ton of new cartridges... some new cuttlebug goodies and I cannot wait to show you all the fabulous paper I have found in my traveling. As for the yard... the last few days have been a friendly reminder of how suddenly things can cool down... today feels like Fall is creeping around the corner.

For sure I will be nervous with tension. I think is one of the best feeling that I can personally feeling. So is good iscoming my mental trainer, so maybe he can help me a little bit. Is good chance. I want to just live and enjoy my moment, my life.
You have a mental trainer?
Yes, I think everybody here have mental, I hope for you.
Francesca Schiavone
Obviously if this was Melbourne it would be pretty mental around the place; you'd be struggling to deal with all the cameras and all the pressure. Does it make it easier and easier to focus on what is this magnificent opportunity you've created for yourself being so far away from home?
Yeah, I guess it does. It's pretty crazy as it is, so I couldn't imagine what it would be like being in Australia right now. Maybe that is a good thing. You don't see the papers and you don't walk around the streets and have people recognize you all the time and stuff like that.
Sam Stosur
Do you remember anything about that? What you wore? What happened on the court?
Yeah, I remember a couple things. I remember--sorry.
Oh, no.
Oh, yes.
I remember my dad told Venus--you remember this? He told Venus to cross--you remember now?
No. I can't.
He told Venus to that she had to cross more, and so I think she got upset and she crossed when the person was serving. She ended up volleying the serve. Oh, it was so funny. I remember my dad, he's so positive. He's like, Oh, no, no, Venus, not that. Just wait until after the serve.
Serena and Venus Williams
Your face is so expressive.
It is not good, this.
I know. We're not talking about that now.
I joke.
Francesca Schiavone
Yesterday you mentioned that you were a big fan of Patrick Rafter when he was playing. Did you have any contact with him about your success until now?
Yeah, he's good friends with my agent, actually. He's been sending a few text messages through. Yeah, it's nice to know that someone like him is behind me and willing me on.
Some advices for big finals?
Oh, just good luck and best wishes and that kind of stuff.
Sam Stosur
Have you ever imagined being the older one? You talk about how you're used to being the younger one in your book. Have you ever imagined being the older one?
No, I definitely wouldn't play the role as well, I don't think.
Serena Williams
What is your relationship with Italian journalists?
That's tough. No, I think I'm improving like a person, so I can show them much more who I am and what I do. And I think they are starting to understand my personality and how I play so I can have a better relationship with them. I never went to take a drink or a dinner, but maybe I will do it. Depends. If they pay, I will do it.

Heathrow Honey's are Buzzing around the Biodiversity Sites
A gorgeous morning at Heathrow biodiversity sites!
Few wispy clouds, blossom exploding into life everywhere, the buzz of busy insect's foraging on nectar and pollen.
The glorious sound of a British summer.
Does not look much like an airstrip granted, this is one of several biodiversity sites surrounding Britain's favorite airport.
Over 8 degrees and the bees emerge eager to begin foraging on the abundant flora and fauna.
Honeybees only aim in life is survival of their colony, each precious little honeybee works diligently to ensure the young bees are fed, the beehive is kept incredibly clean and nothing comes into the beehive that should not.
Lastly, honeybees forage for food in the form of nectar and pollen, in the above image the bees are coming and going, already busy collecting pollen and nectar, by mid-morning in full sun many more bees will have emerged.
With 1.8 million bees on Heathrow's biodiversity sites, BeekeeperTom has more take off's and landing's than air traffic control.
Fortunately, the honeybees do not need permission to take off or land.
What's next?
Our next venture is corporate sponsorship for a large native/near native bee breeding program based at Heathrow and beyond.
BeekeeperTom is an apiculturist who works with corporates who have an interest in restoring and increasing biodiversity through native/near native honeybees and other insect pollinators.
Insect pollination is responsible for over a third of our food crops in Britain and worldwide.
Honeybees are the public relations face of pollinators and a great indicator of general insect pollination health in the area.
Currently, honeybees are facing challenges from several areas, it is so important that we do all we can to ensure their survival.
This includes planting an assortment of native pollinator friendly flowers wherever we can.
Collectively roadside verges make up a larger area than UK national parks, leaving the roadside verges to bloom is essential, unfortunately, many UK councils cut many roadside verges just when they are coming into bloom.

The starting and charging system makes sure you can start your car and use all of the features that need electricity to operate.
The Basics
The starting system is made up of the starter motor and the ignition switch. The starter motor is a high-torque electric motor that literally turns the engine until the cylinders can combust fuel, starting a chain reaction that keeps the engine running. The starter motor draws its power from the battery. It requires quite a bit of power, so if your battery is running low, your car may not start.
The Charging System
The charging system is made up of the battery and alternator. The alternator is connected to the engine by a belt that spins the alternator to generate electricity like a generator. This electricity recharges the battery and provides the power needed to run all of the electrical components in the car. The battery stores electricity for later use to operate the starter motor.
Normal Wear
The charging system and starting system are designed to have a very long life in modern vehicles. Often a failure in either system is caused by an outside influence. For instance, the belt that drives the alternator is rubber and can wear out and stretch. If the belt tension is not set correctly, the belt will not drive the alternator properly and may prevent the battery from receiving the charge it needs to operate the starter motor from a cold start.
What Can Go Wrong
Extreme temperatures can accelerate battery wear and shorten the life of the battery. So, in extremely cold or hot climates, it is a good idea to get your battery tested every year.
Also, leaving lights on or running the radio for a long time after you turn off the engine can leave the battery without enough charge to operate the starter motor. With DVD players and GPS units in many cars, it is easier than ever to run down the battery after you turn the car off. Be aware of electrical usage and make sure to turn off additional features while the battery still has plenty of charge left.
Care and Maintenance
Manufacturers recommend routine inspection of the starting and charging system every 100,000 miles.
The battery should be checked at least once per year because it requires maintenance and care. Some types of batteries require the water to be checked during the yearly maintenance cycle and the positive and negative terminals should always be kept free from corrosion. Corrosion could cause problems with the electrical circuit and keep the battery from delivering the full charge to the starter motor.

Throughout the school year, school buses are commonly seen on St. Johns County roads, streets, and highways. Even into the summer months, school buses are present in St. Johns County. It is important that school bus drivers avoid driver's distraction and use their best efforts to drive the buses. Due to the size of the typical yellow school bus, it can sometimes be a challenge to drive or operate the school bus. When there is a school bus / vehicle in St. Johns County (Florida) or other locations, the impact of the accident can result in serious personal injuries and, in some cases, even the death of drivers and / or passengers of the school bus or other vehicles.
When an adult or a child is injured in a school bus accident, there are often times many questions or issues that arise. It can be quite challenging to deal with the aftermath and complications resulting from a Florida school bus accident including medical care, medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, therapy, surgery, and other expenses. A Florida Child Injury Lawyer / Florida Personal Injury Lawyer can assist an injury victim and the family with these issues and many others that arise following a Florida School Bus Accident. It is vital that emergency and urgent medical care is provided to the injury victim. Thereafter, it is important that the victim get the necessarily medical care and diagnostic testing for the accident related injuries.
The book titled – The ABCs of Child Injury – Legal Rights of the Injured Child – What Every Parent Should Know – has chapters on automobile accidents, school injuries, day care center injuries, medical bills / medical treatment, and other issues. You can get this book for free at The ABCs of Child Injury.
Each case must be evaluated on its own merits. In some school bus accident cases, the school bus driver is at fault. In other cases, the fault belongs to the other driver. Then again, sometimes, the accident is caused by comparative fault of more than one drivers involved in the accident. In St. Johns County, Florida, a school bus accident may be investigated by the Florida Highway Patrol and / or the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office. While the conclusions and report by the investigating police agency is important to review, these findings do not necessarily control the pursuit of an insurance claim or case by an injury victim.
Because of the complexities of the issues involved in Florida School Bus accident cases, it is important to consult with a Florida Personal Injury Lawyer for advice and legal representation. The attorneys at Wood, Atter & Wolf, P.A. have been representing injury victims and their families for over 50 years. At Wood, Atter & Wolf, P.A., we are On Your Side – At Your Side. All injury cases handled on a contingency basis (No Recovery – No Fee) by Wood, Atter & Wolf, P.A. Contact Wood, Atter & Wolf, P.A. today for a Free Consultation.

7 Country Stars Who Changed Names Mid-Career
Billy Ray Cyrus is changing his name, but he's not the first to do it. Several solo artists and quite a few country groups have rebranded, if you want to call it that.
Some tweaked, some chopped and some invented an entirely new persona. These seven artists all felt like something wasn't working, or maybe perhaps were legally pressured to change for trademark reasons as tends to happen when you start becoming rich and famous.
Randy Travis, the Cadillac Three and LoCash started as something different. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band switched mid-career but switched back. We only chose artists who recorded under one name professionally — amateur demos and dirty honky-tonk gigs don't count. But dozens do use a stage name; check out the list below to see who and what those names are.
Of course, this list was inspired by Cyrus becoming Cyrus. That's it, he's dropping Billy Ray officially as of Aug. 25. The new one-name moniker puts him in rare company in country music. Even Reba uses her last name on occasion. Garth doesn't just put "Garth" on CD jackets. Cam does ... in fact she may be the only true one-named artist in the genre (her maiden name was Ochs by the way, but she's since married.)
Can you think of someone else? We like comments in the space below.

The Secret to Neutral Buoyancy UnderwaterSimon Vetterli
There's no denying that peak performance buoyancy control separates the dive paddlers from the pros. When all the big talk is over and the water closes over your head, there is nothing that pulls the whole scuba diving thing together like perfect buoyancy control.
The secret is pinpoint buoyancy control, and it all begins with fine-tuning your weighting — that's how much lead you thread on your belt or put into your pouches. If you are carrying just the right amount of weight, you will have the smallest amount of BC inflation. That means less drag and more efficient finning. Less BC inflation also means less buoyancy shift with depth, so you'll make fewer adjustments. There are many tricks, but pinpoint buoyancy control is the fundamental skill. Precise control of your buoyancy is what enables you to hover completely motionless and fin through the water, at any depth, without using your hands at all.
It sounds easy, so why isn't it?
In fact, pinpoint buoyancy control requires getting more than one thing right.
The factors that affect your buoyancy besides ballast weight are BC inflation, your trim, exposure suit, depth and breath control. Your ballast weight and your trim are the only two factors that, once you've selected them, stay put. All the others are variables, changing during the dive along with time or depth or both. Some you can control, some you can't.
Here is our advice for getting perfect neutral buoyancy so you can enjoy your time underwater without fiddling too much with your BC inflator hose.
Take a course. PADI offers a course in buoyancy and weighting called "Peak Performance Buoyancy." The course teaches precise buoyancy control, streamlining, weight and trim adjustment, equipment configuration options and relaxation techniques.
Pre-dive preparation. Real buoyancy control begins, as does any dive, with pre-dive preparation. As you pack and check your equipment, double-check to make sure nothing has changed that could affect initial weighting. New wetsuit? Major factor. Nice, springy wetsuits need more weight than old rancid flatties. A fresh suit has more inherent buoyancy at first because diving, especially deep diving, simply bursts its bubbles. New BC? Unlikely to have a major effect at this point, but it will in the water. New weight belt? Maybe a nifty new shot belt? Take a moment to make sure the new compares well to the old. Stick 'em on a bathroom scale; often there is variation between claimed and actual weight. New cylinder? Another biggie. Some cylinders are negatively buoyant when full and simply less negative when empty; others sink first and float later.
Do a buoyancy check. Here's how to make a proper buoyancy check: With your lungs half-full, you should float at eye level with no air in your BC. But the fact that your average cylinder loses about 5 pounds as it empties gets you thinking about the buoyancy change in a tank and is a good reminder that it's best to do a buoyancy check with a nearly empty cylinder before you dive. This is obviously a bit of a pain, so add about 5 pounds to your weight if you have done your buoyancy check with a full one. You can always take a moment and recheck buoyancy after a dive, just before you get out of the water. See our Buoyancy Calculator for more tips on being properly weighted. If you you're overweighted because you struggle with descents, read How To Take Off Weights for tips on getting down without adding weights.
During the dive. Now for the dive itself. Understand why feet-first descents have many advantages: One is that it's easiest to completely empty your BCD in this position. Double-check that the point where the deflator hose attaches to the bladder is really the closest point to the surface as you prepare to descend. It's often helpful to dip your opposite shoulder. Exhale, and if you're properly weighted, you should sink slowly. Keep your hand on the BC inflator and get ready to add controlled bursts of air to adjust your descent rate. You'll add more as the descent continues. If you're making a deep dive for the first time, it can be a bit of a surprise to see just how much air you have to add as you continue. During the dive, enjoy the fruits of your labor. Concentrate on what happens as you breathe. If you see something interesting below you, exhale and drift down for a look. Inhale and you'll level off and start to rise. Don't vary your breathing habits too much, though; breathing slowly deeply and continuously is of primary importance.
During the ascent. Keep the point about BC positioning in mind while making gradual ascents too. It's easy to trap some air in an unfamiliar BC, which will continue to expand as you ascend. On deeper dives, and given neutral buoyancy, you should only have to start swimming up a little before expanding air takes over. Make sure you're ready to vent this off as needed.
Make the safety stop count. The goal is to be neutral while doing your end-of-dive safety stop, so that's when you can really fine-tune your buoyancy. As you near the surface, stop at 15 feet. After three minutes, kick slowly for the surface. If you have done everything right, there should be no air in your BCD as you break the surface. You should also now be floating at eye level, rising a little as you inhale and sinking slowly as you exhale. If this is not the case, make appropriate adjustments before your next dive.
Log it. After each dive, write down what exposure suit you wore, what equipment you used, how much lead you carried, how much your body weighs and whether you seemed too heavy or light at your safety stop.
If most of your diving is done in freshwater springs or lakes, then ballast calculations should be done in freshwater. If you dive mostly in the ocean, then do the calculations in saltwater. If you switch back and forth, you'll need to adjust your ballast needs as you go. Be prepared to add anywhere from 4 to 7 pounds going from fresh to saltwater.
See our Buoyancy Calculator for more details on making the weighting conversion between saltwater and freshwater.

The horns were most likely for display, as well. Lame, right? If I had horns, I'd definitely use them. Also, I'd be shunned from society (side note).
I dunno man. Those horns are pretty wicked looking for display…

I attended the Nikwasi Celebration in Franklin, NC today, and it was a good event.
Gordon Mercer, of the Public Policy Institute, was the Master of Ceremonies and Cherokee Chief Michell Hicks the Featured Speaker.
There were more speakers, songs, dances, craft demonstrations, Cherokee food, and a stickball exhibition game that was quite intense.
I have a lot of video to edit my way through, and since I lost my MP3 player, my options are limited, as I was using it to catch audio when I had to change memory cards in my camera and when I changed batteries. I plan on having an hour and a half to two hour show out of it by Tuesday afternoon.
Here is what is inscribed on the main marker beside the mound:
You are standing on land that has been part of a town for about three thousand years. This mound was the spiritual, political, and physical center of the Cherokee town of Nikwasi. A council house or town house on top of the mound held the sacred fire, and everyone gathered there to hear news, make decisions, dance, and participate in ceremonies. Surrounding the mound were about one hundred houses, a field for playing stickball, and a dance ground, as well as hundreds of acres of crops, orhards, and gardens.
The Cherokee dominated the southern Appalachians for thousands of years. When Alexander Cuming visited Nikwasi in 1730, the Cherokees had men and women leaders in autonomous towns that functioned democratically. Cuming called a council here that was attended by more than two thousand representatives from Cherokee towns. Cuming chose an Emperor, and took a Cherokee delegation to London. In 1761 the British, former allies of the Cherokee, destroyed Nikwasi. After theCherokees rebuilt, the Americans destroyed it in 1776. The Cherokees rebuilt again and lived here until this area was taken by the Treaty of 1819.
A Cherokee legend tells that spirit warriors came out of the mound to help defend the Cherokee against an attack when the Cherokee men were away hunting. The legend goes on to say thst the spirit warriors also saved the town of Franklin from destruction during the Civil War.
The Nikwasi mound is one of the largest surviving mounds in the original Cherokee territory of 140,000 square miles. In 1946, the schoolchildren of Macon County saved their pennies and bought the mound through the Macon County Historical Society to save it from development. It is now owned by the Town of Franklin.
And here are some pictures to look at until tomorrow:
**update** May 19th Another local blogger has graciously linked to this post, and has more to add regarding the history of Nikwasi. It is well worth reading.

found your mp3 player on a post at the park. we have it at the tartans museum.
I was worried sick about it. I'll be around sometime today or Monday for it. This preserves the speech of Heather Shields, and the commentary of the stickball game.
I am in your debt.

Into the Valley of Film Rode '300'
Article Date: March 4, 2007 | Publication: New York Daily News | Author: Joe Strike
Source: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/v-pfriendly/story/502112p-423447c.html
Frank Miller has had more luck in Hollywood than your average comic book or (as they're known nowadays) graphic novel writer/artist, whose works usually lose their snap by the time they reach the big screen.
His 1980s reimagining of Batman as an obsessed "Dark Knight" overpowered memories of TV's campy "Caped Crusader" and set the stage for Tim Burton's "Batman" film. And in 2005, when Robert Rodriguez partnered with Miller to film his hard-boiled graphic novel "Sin City," the pair rewrote Hollywood's comic book rule book: Instead of retelling Miller's grim and gritty story in the "real world," "Sin City's" shadowy black-and-white universe was transposed onscreen, making audiences feel as if they had journeyed into the graphic novel itself.
Director Zack Snyder has done something similar in bringing Miller's "300," opening Friday, to the screen. In images taken directly from the graphic novel and expanded on by Snyder, the film recounts the legendary 480 B.C. battle of Thermopylae and the doomed efforts of a handful of Spartan warriors to hold off a massive invading army.
Snyder re-created the late '90s novel's high-contrast, copper-and-gold color scheme by shooting his performers against a blue screen, then compositing the extensively processed footage into computer-generated environments. "There are very few 'non-effects' shots in the movie," Snyder says. "Even the ones not counted as effects are still heavily manipulated - you wouldn't recognize them from their original state."
"It feels wonderful. It's a terrific vindication of what I hoped was true all along," says Miller. "I've always wanted to see a more comfortable relationship between comic books and movies. What I didn't expect was that the two media have stopped dating and they've gotten married."
Miller, 50, has never been bashful about putting the "graphic" in graphic novel, with bone-snapping set pieces, dismemberment and violent death - not to mention doomed, self-sacrificing heroes - a constant in his stories. If black and white can be bloody red, some of his books find the way to do it. This new work is built on a fascination that goes back to a 5-year-old Miller watching "The 300 Spartans," a 1962 movie inspired by the same historic battle.
"It was a story where all the heroes were killed at the end, and I had to wrestle with that for a long time," says Miller. "To have them all die because it was the right thing to do and for the greater good of society - it changed my whole view of what a hero was."
Hard-action fans may be less interested in history lessons and more taken by "300's" profusion of spearings, decapitations and splattering blood. Even so, Miller and Snyder's stylized approach may make the images easier to take for audience members unaccustomed to blood-and-guts filmmaking. "I didn't shoot any blood on set," Snyder points out. "It was all done digitally. If you look carefully, it never lands on the ground but vaporizes in the air. I treated it like a paint stroke, an explosion of energy. When I did [the 2004 remake of] 'Dawn of the Dead,' I had to wear a raincoat all the time," or be splashed by the spurting of fake blood.
Neither man says he's through with comics yet. Next up for Snyder is the long-anticipated - and always on the verge of collapsing - movie of the "Watchmen" graphic novel. And Miller will soon reteam with Rodriguez for a "Sin City" sequel, followed by a solo shot at Will Eisner's legendary crimefighter the Spirit.
Those heroes have faced many perils on their own, but with Snyder and Miller watching their backs, being the stars of second-rate films is unlikely to be one of them.

Warning:If you didn't pick up on the clues above, rooting isn't for everyone and can have serious repercussions. While it's perfect legal, it can void your phone's warranty (more on that below). And if you don't know what you're doing or aren't careful, you could potentially destroy your phone. Rooting also opens up more security risks because you can download apps that have access to files that would normally be hidden from them.
So, if you're perfectly happy with your Android phone as is, there is no reason to root it. If you're a tinkerer and understand the possible ramifications, then there are several reasons you might want to root.
Why Root Android?
The purpose of rooting is to make the most of the device that you own by getting around the limitations that the manufacturer or carrier has put in place—and again, many of those barriers were put in place to prevent you from accidentally destroying your own device.
Here are some examples of what a root user can do:
There are many other reasons to root, too, but the ones listed here are certainly among the most popular.
1. Be phone-specific. This tip comes first for a reason. It's crucial that you look up information for your phone, and not just for Android across the board. Look for tutorials that are specific to the make and model of your phone, as well as any common problems. The rooting process varies by phone, and following the wrong procedures could cause irreparable damage. Just as important, not every rooted phone will be able to do want you might have been hoping it would. For example, not every rooted device has an unlocked bootloader (necessary to flash ROMs), so make sure you understand what you are getting into and exactly what you want the outcome to be if you root your phone.
2. Read or watch the how-to beforehand. Make sure to read or watch the entire tutorial before you begin, because there are often steps that are crucial that may appear out of order. For example, sometimes you need to disable antivirus software on your computer at a certain step for the rooting process to go smoothly.
3. Learn how to un-root. Rooting is reversible on most phones—again, check whether yours is before you even begin. So before you root, make sure you know how to undo it. Just as it's important to read the complete instructions before you start rooting, it's a good idea to figure out how to reverse it before doing anything, as well. Because rooting may void your phone's warranty, you'll have to revoke the root access anytime you need to take your phone in for service.
4. Power up. Never tinker with anything less than a full battery. One of the most devastating things that can go wrong while in root mode is running out of battery midway through installing a custom OS or ROM (read-only memory, or the phone's internal memory where your apps are stored). If your Android dies before the new system is installed fully, it's extremely difficult to repair and restore the phone.
5. Stay away from extremes. Root users will be enticed to push their phones past its previous limits for maximum performance—a phone that works faster. But remember, the phone makers put limits on your phone for a reason, in this case, to prevent the phone's processor from overheating and burning out. Root users who know what they're doing bypass these limits, but should set new limits or other failsafe measures to keep the phone from overheating. If you don't know how to manage these settings, don't tempt fate by trying to turn your phone into a lightning-fast machine. It's pretty fast already.
6. When in doubt, ask for help. If at any point in rooting or unrooting you get stuck, search for help because you're likely to find it. Android root users have been known to hang around a few helpful hacker forums, such as xda-developers.com and rootzwiki.com, where you can find answers to your questions and solutions to your problems. While these online resources will be invaluable, do bear in mind the other tips outlined in this article. Remember that even the most helpful guy on a forum isn't necessarily a technical writer, and his tutorial may be out of order or not specify which specific phone model he has in hand, or take for granted some other assumption. Comb through the advice you find meticulously before you decide to take it.
With those tips in mind, if you're looking for tutorials to walk you through rooting, try Lifehacker's guide to rooting Android devices.
7 Apps for Root Users
Deciding to root your phone shouldn't be a split-second decision. But ultimately, it's your phone, you own it, and you can do what you want. So if you do root your Android, here are seven starter apps you'll want to download. You'll need the first and second apps immediately in order to actually do anything with your root access, but the other apps are all optional and can be downloaded in any order.
Superuser: lets you manage superuser (root user) permissions; this is the first app a newly rooted phone needs installed on it.
Root Explorer (File Manager) ($3.80): shows you the files you can now access as a root user; this is the second app a newly rooted phone needs on it.
Titanium Backup root: backs up all your apps, removes bloatware, and otherwise helps you manage apps.
ROM Manager: lets you manage and install ROMs from your SD card, and organize and perform backups and restores.
AdFree Android: removes most ads from your browser and apps.
Wireless Tether for Root Users: turns your phone into a mobile hotspot.
SetCPU for Root Users: changes the CPU settings for overclocking (going faster than the limit) and lets you set thresholds (like a temperature) to tell it when to stop; works only on select phones.

HTC is holding an event on April 8 and with the HTC One M9 out in the open, speculation is rife about what the Taiwanese manufacturer is going to unveil.
Rumours of HTC returning to the tablet market are particularly prominent right now, and new whispers suggest that HTC is again working on an upcoming slate. Not just a slate, but a rather impressive one.
Claimed specifications of HTC's tablet include an 8.9-inch glass display with a 1530 x 2048 resolution. The device will allegedly be powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core Allwinner H8 CPU, 2GB of RAM and a PowerVR SGX544 GPU for graphics.
Snap happy
Apparently the tablet will come with a choice of 16GB or 32GB internal storage, along with a rear-facing 16 megapixel camera and an 8 megapixel front-facing snapper.
The body is claimed to be just 7.88mm thin, with a 6700mAh battery and Android 5.0 pre-installed, along with front-facing stereo BoomSound speakers that are set to handle media duties.
According to the rumours there will be two versions available: one that's Wi-Fi only, and another which includes 4G LTE connectivity. The devices are apparently set to release as soon as May at a very competitive price point.
Mark April 8 in your diaries - it just got a lot more interesting.

Winery and Vineyards at Gemeny: A New Winery in Maryland
A New Winery in Maryland
I love Thanksgiving holidays. Of course, it is not the first time I shared this sentiment. I love being with friends and family. It is a time to put our busy lives on hold and connect with our love ones. This holiday was no different. I spent Saturday afternoon with good friends visiting a winery in Maryland. We a took a trip to Winery and Vineyards at Gemeny.
We were excited to visit the recently opened venue. Gemeny opened in late Summer 2016. It is the second tasting room in Prince George's County. Winery and Vineyards at Gemeny is in Brandywine, MD. We were warmly greeted by Bill, the winemaker and owner. The tasting room is located on his 200 acres working farms.
Gemeny offers a full tasting menu of dry white and red wines. The reds wines are made from the grapes grown at the vineyard. The white grapes are from New York. Gemeny will eventually produce its own grapes for all its white wines, making them 100% estate vineyard.
You can select white wines, red wines, or both for your tasting. I went for the white and red tasting. Tastings begin at $4.00. The full tasting is $10.00. All wines are aged in steel. Oak chips are used during the aging process for some of the wines.
My tasting began with 2014 Vidal Blanc. The Vidal Blanc was pale yellow, with a floral nose, crisp green apples and honeydew on the palate, medium acid and finish. We continued with 2014 vintages of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Traminette. My favorite was the Pinot Gris. The Pinot Gris was made in a traditional Italian style with notes of citrus, lemon and hints of mineral, with medium acid and finish. The tasting continued with 2014 vintages of unoaked Cabernet Sauvignon, Rougeon and Norton. It is refreshing to see Rougeon and Norton on the tasting menu. They are a challenge to grow but these two grapes thrive in Southern Maryland's humid and hot climate.
The tasting was topped off with a mulled wine. Mulled wine is a warm slightly sweet, spiced wine. It was a perfect ending on a brisk fall afternoon. Make sure you ask for it.
Gemeny is opened on weekends from 10 am – 6pm. Starting Black Friday open Every Friday from November 25th – December 16th from 1pm – 8pm. Gemeny Winery will be closing for the winter season starting on Dec. 19 and will re-open on March 3rd.
Welcome Gemeny to Maryland wine.
Going Wine Tasting with Your Dog at Maryland Vineyards
Pet-Friendly Wineries
You love wine. You love your dog. Why not bring your dog with you when you go wine tasting? It can be a wonderful outing with your best friend. Before you and your best friend spend a day at pet-friendly wineries, here are some things you should know.
- Call first, not all vineyards are pet-friendly
Although there is a vineyard dog, do not assume you can bring your pet. Call or email the vineyard before you arrive is the best way to determine your pet can visit. Call ahead. Most vineyards do not list their pet policy on their website.
- Come prepared
Most vineyards will have water bowls available and supplies to clean up after your dog. However, you should bring your own just in case. Consider bringing food, and their favorite toy. Being at the vineyard may be overwhelming for your pooch in the beginning. Having their favorite toy will help your doggie adjust to the new environment.
- Leash or not to Leash
Your dog may be trained without a leash, but you should be prepared to place your dog on a leash. Many vineyards do require your dog to have a leash. When you contact the vineyard, make sure you ask about their leash policy.
- Pet-friendly Maryland vineyards
There are some Maryland vineyards that welcome your doggie. Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard is one vineyard that not only welcomes pets, but they host pet-friendly events. In the fall, they host the Howl-O-Wine for Wags for Hope fundraiser. They also have pet pictures event during the Christmas season.
Here is a list of other Maryland vineyards who are pet-friendly wineries.
Black Ankle Vineyard (Mt. Airy, MD)
Catoctin Breeze Vineyard (Thurmont, MD)
Crow Vineyard (Kennedyville, MD)
Great Frogs (Annapolis, MD)
JaneMark Vineyard (Brandywine, MD)
Links Bridge Vineyards (Thurmont, MD)
Linganore Winecellars (Mt. Airy, MD)
Perigeaux Vineyard & Winery (St. Leonard, MD)
Port of Leonardtown Winery (Leonardtown, MD)
Running Hare Vineyard (Prince Frederick, MD)
Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard (Dickerson, MD)
List updated as of October 6, 2019
I hope these tips will make your wine tasting experience enjoyable for you and your best friend. Enjoy your visit. Please share with us vineyards you like to bring your pet in the comment section below.

So it turns out that I already know how to do the rest. I hate it when that happens.
The whole point of these posts is to ask a question to which I don't know the answer—and then answer it (or come up with next steps). So first the answer to the question I did not remember knowing. Then a new question that I am pretty sure I don't know.
First up: how to mix distributed content with imported configuration in Polymer? The answer: you just do it. For instance, if I wanted to distribute "And good-bye…" as closing content in my super-simple
<hello-you> Polymer, I can write it like:
Now I am importing
<link rel="import" href="scripts/hello-you.json">

And good-bye…

hello-you.json configuration and including HTML content inside my custom
<hello-you> Polymer instead of just using configuration. I can continue to use the same code to process the configuration from yesterday without change. To include the HTML content—without
<link> noise, I just include a
<content> tag like usual in the Polymer's
<link rel="import" href="../bower_components/polymer/polymer.html"> <polymer-element name="hello-you"> <template>
{{hello}} {{your_name}}
  <content></content> </template>  </polymer-element>The result is exactly what I desire—the content wrapped by my Polymer is distributed into the Polymer's DOM:
I already know how to do similar stuff in Dart. Instead of importing outside of the
<polymer-element> tag, I need to include the
<link> tag inside:
  <polymer-element name="hello-you"> <link rel="import" href="hello-you.json"> <template>  </template>  </polymer-element>I also have to use my Polymer transformer to strip out JSON, but I have gotten used to that.
What I need to figure out tonight, is how to organize my Polymers. I have been putting everything in a
scripts directory and, especially with all of the internal and external configuration floating around, that seems to be messy.
Folks have suggested an "elements" directory to hold Polymers. And after a bit of fiddling, I settle on that as well. It is not as tied to implementation as "polymers" might be, but seems to do a good job of separating regular code from Polymer:
$ tree -I 'bower_components|node_modules' . ├── assets │ └── bootstrap.min.css ├── bower.json ├── elements │ ├── hello-you.html │ └── hello-you.json ├── Gruntfile.js ├── index.html ├── karma.conf.js ├── package.json └── scripts └── hello-you.jsonHere, the
hello-you.json in the
scripts directory is the custom configuration that is being applied to the Polymer whereas the one inside
elements is the internal configuration for the Polymer.
I am still unsure if it really helps much in the Dart code. The custom configuration there tends to reside in the
web directory and everything else—Polymer and Polymer backing code—goes in
lib. Still some folks seem to prefer placing elements in
lib/elements and that seems more consistent between the two languages so I will probably adopt that convention as well.

Happy accidents do happen. The flight from NY to Bar Harbor was with a stop over in Boston, which was a good idea. The first part was short but enough– like a roller coaster. Both takeoff and landing were designed for serious adrenaline junkies, I am happy that it wasn't my first flight, but we made it!! :) and then I switched to a small Saab 340 plane for the rest of the trip. Like 30 ppl were on board and the flight was very smooth and surprisingly short. In like 1h we were basically landing on the tiny airport of Bar Harbor, yay!
The lodging turned out to be a very good deal. Due to the misunderstanding with my confirmation, I got to stray instead of the college dorm, in the hotel/motel across the street, in superb conditions, so this one checked!
The weather was still an issue to fix though, as after the 35+(felt like 40+) C in NY, here we would hardly have some ~20C, which I was not really prepared for. The town is quite, but very small.
Speaking of happy accidents, it is not only the lodging that turned out well, but also the room mate and the people I got to meet right from the beginning, in the tiny little airport at arrival. We sort of forged together right from that moment, and ended up going for a traditional local dinner on the first evening, skipping the one provided by the course. The view was scenic, wonderful colors, but unfortunately I did not have the camera with me.
When the weather was not crying, one day in the lecture break, we managed to escape for a short walk around the Jordan Pond. Well, glacier little lake, like…many other in Switzerland, but was a good means to disconnect from the science overdose that I got in the last 3 days.
And yes, there is justice in the World! Finally after a week of rainy, overcast weather, we have a …half day of great weather! We make it basically to the sandy beach to do some tanning and relaxing on the beach, in the sound of breaking waves. The water was pretty cold, no brave people were actually swimming for long time in the water.
A later stop brings us back to the Jordan Pond, where this time we have a very pleasant conversation on the side of a blueberry crumble (the local favorite) and popover — the must try at the restaurant over there.
Back in town, we make a third attempt to try the pool and the hot tub from the Regency hotel, right across our stay, and victory! The water is just perfect in each pool, we have a great relaxing evening, by waiting for the beautiful sunset at 8 PM. I have already missed a gorgeous one a few evenings back.
To finish the evening is style, we decide to head out, downtown for a walk, which ends in the local irish pub! Guinness, fries and chowder! Bon App!
Days went by and the weather decided to keep on playing bad tricks on us. There were not too many sunny days, but the good thing about such weather is that one gets to know fairly well all the shops and cafe places. The favorite breakfast / coffee place is Cafe This Way, a very nice shelter from the rain, bustling with half of the life from Bar Harbor during weekend time. However, the preferred dining place stays for me, the College of the Atlantic mensa, for the great organic food and awesome salads they serve.
One of the finally sunny days brought us on the shores, in the cove next to the Jax Lab, Compass Harbor, so got to explore this angle of the chilly island too. The nature is very similar to the low hilly regions from Romania, like 600m alt., but with the crispy touch of the ocean breeze.
Finally and final sunny day. The nice part of the story ends here, since most probably the good weather will leave us for the end of the course. The lectures and the insight into the clinical world, for someone coming from the realm of theoreticians is always fascinating! I enjoyed today particularly the presentation of clinical cases, with references to genetic testing results. Fascinating!
However, as I am getting closer to the end of my second week of genetic studies, I start feeling the symptoms of a scientific overdose. Therefore I turned my attention for the rest of the afternoon, towards the other fascinating motif around, the bay area. Couple of sailboats riding the crests of the small waves, some kayakers and a lot of calm. I particularly enjoy a lazy time on a bench not far from the course room at the hotel, and contemplate for a long while the scenery.
I must mention that the lawn was amazingly thick and well trimmed. A pleasure to walk on it. Another nice thing while sitting on the bench and contemplating this view, was that after all the presentations of the day, there were many genetic diseases presented, from phenotypical p.o.v. alike, so this is a challenge for someone not used to work with such conditions, therefore, the sight of a healthy, energetic teenager playing soccer with his father on that lawn and obstructing my view from time to time, was very pleasant!
Actually we had one more beautiful sunny day. Though it was a bit special, due to the fog that spread across the bay area and gave us a special feel about the place.
The last day was actually a treat; we got to walk around the city once more and as a treat, we got to discover the literally hidden gems of the place: art galleries! The handcraft objects sold in the local art shops are very neat and original. Here's an example… .
Was a great time, however now is time to say
Bye Bye … Bar Harbor!
P.S. I forgot to mention the local market experience, on the only Sun we had there. It is a tiny, neat market, with only a few stalls, yet one can find some hidden gems. The one I discovered was Lucy's granola. Very nice granola, would order it online if I went back to the US.

Dish wireless service approved by FCC
A proposal to allow Dish Network Corp. to offer smartphone service was approved unanimously by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, whose chairman called it a "major step" to boost mobile competition.
The second-largest U.S. satellite-TV provider needed FCC approval to start a wireless service that could compete with the largest U.S. mobile provider, Verizon Wireless, and No. 2 AT&T Inc. Dish has built up its spectrum holdings as it seeks to decrease its reliance on the satellite-TV business, which is losing subscribers.
The vote is "a major step to free up spectrum for mobile broadband and to drive new services, new competition in the mobile sector," FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said at a news conference at the agency's headquarters in Washington today (Dec. 12).
Dish had objected to the order's requirement limiting power for its planned network, saying that would cripple its ability to enter the wireless business. The requirement was intended to prevent interference with government-owned frequencies known as the H block, which is slated to be auctioned.
"The commission has taken an important step toward facilitating wireless competition and innovation," Jeff Blum, Dish senior vice president and deputy general counsel, said in an e-mailed statement. "Following a more thorough review of the order and its technical details, Dish will consider its strategic options and the optimal approach to put this spectrum to use for the benefit of consumers."
"No matter how you slice it, this is a transformative outcome for Dish to expand beyond its pay-TV business," Paul Gallant, Washington-based managing director at Guggenheim Securities, said in an interview. "Even if Dish loses the spectrum interference battle it's been fighting, it still got most of what it wanted from the FCC."
Responding to the FCC's proposal, Dish last week offered to let part of its spectrum be used as a so-called guard band to preserve the H block. Sprint Nextel Corp., which may seek to acquire the H block at auction, responded that Dish's offer still "would substantially reduce" the value and utility of that block of frequencies.
Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen met with Genachowski and his staff Nov. 29, and Sprint Chief Executive Officer Dan Hesse spoke by telephone with the FCC chairman Dec. 5, according to filings with the agency.
Genachowski declined to comment on how the FCC would react if Dish moves to sell the spectrum. "Our expectation is that Dish will do as it has announced, but our focus is on freeing up that spectrum for mobile broadband," he said.
Sprint has approached Dish in recent months about a potential partnership that would allow the satellite-TV company to offer mobile-phone service over Sprint's network, with Sprint getting access to Dish's mobile airwaves, according to two people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named because they aren't authorized to speak publicly.
Sprint called the commission's move "a balanced and equitable decision," according to an e-mailed statement last night from the Overland Park, Kansas-based company.
"By allocating this spectrum for commercial broadband use, the commission is helping to bring more wireless broadband directly to consumers," Larry Krevor, Sprint's vice president for government affairs, said in the statement.
An earlier attempt by Genachowski's FCC to designate satellite airwaves for smartphone use foundered. The agency in February reversed its tentative approval to LightSquared Inc. after officials said the mobile service would interfere with global positioning system-based navigation gear, and the company filed for bankruptcy.
The FCC is trying to accommodate rising demand for mobile Internet service as consumers turn to smartphones and data- hungry tablet computers. The agency in 2010 voted to ease restrictions on smartphone use of the airwaves Dish now owns.
Dish first asked for FCC approval in August 2011 after paying about $3 billion for airwaves from bankrupt satellite companies DBSD North America Inc. and TerreStar Networks Inc. in deals announced last year.
The agency in March approved Dish's taking control of the airwaves, and said it would write the rules that the commission approved today.

Music streaming service Deezer is opening up in 22 new territories this week – including in the Middle East and North Africa – and is in talks to speed up its launch in the US.
The French company, co-founded in 2007 by Daniel Marhely and Jonathan Benassaya, has accelerated its international expansion plans since Axel Dauchez – the former head of animation production company Moonscoop – came on as CEO in 2010.
"We've always been very focused on building a sustainable business," Dauchez – a little sick but still game for interviews – told VentureVillage during music trade fair MIDEM on Saturday. "That doesn't mean sometimes you don't speed up…"
Deezer last year closed an enormous $130m deal with Len Blavatnik's Access Industries, which headlined as one of the largest investment rounds ever for a French internet startup.
In October last year, Deezer exploded out into 76 new countries. Brazil joined the list last week. Today, the company announced a fresh expansion into Asia (Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong), South Africa and the "very strategic" regions of the Middle East and North Africa (Egypt, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, others). The service is now active in 182 countries total.
Deezer by the numbers
The glaring gap on that map is the US, which Dauchez has previously said still doesn't have the market conditions to make sustainable business possible. "We are having some discussions for strategic partnerships to speed up our launch in the US but nothing will be said for the moment," he said this week.
The US is home to about one-fifth of Spotify's five million paying subscribers, from a total user base of 20 million. By comparison, Deezer now claims about three million paying subscribers from a total user base of 26 million.
Dauchez isn't interested in playing up the rivalry. "To be frank, we both need to educate the market – we are stronger together," he said.
How to stay ahead – "you can't just be a tool to provide music"
New subscribers for Deezer, Spotify, Rdio, Rhapsody and the rest may be coming from the crowd without an existing music subscription service right now – but eventually, since users are unlikely to sign up for more than one service, competition is inevitable.
There are also regional players to think about such as Anghami, a new mobile music service in the MENA region already claiming over 500,000 downloads since its beta launch last November.
For now, Deezer is focused on becoming truly global and – equally important – figuring out how to add more value to listeners, including through editorial recommendations and artist partnerships. As Dauchez put it, if you're asking people to subscribe for €10 per month, "you can't just be a tool to provide music".

This post has now moved to here.
I just saw this excellent post by @LUBOttom on performing disability when you have an invisible illness and it made me think of a blog post I've had in Draft form on the blog for almost a year now, one that I keep putting off actually finishing and posting. The reason I put it off is because I hate that I felt the need to write it.
That day I'd been for a day out, it had been a wonderful day, surrounded by friends and family. It was my 30th birthday and I'd been dreading it, I don't have much luck with birthdays so was expecting a disaster! But it was a lovely day, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. So at 10pm I sat down to write a blog post about it, was it a post about how happy I was and how much fun I'd had? Was it going to be full of joy and laughter? Not even slightly.

More than 700 people are believed to have drowned in the Mediterranean last week, the deadliest seven days for Europe-bound asylum seekers in more than a year.
The casualties happened in three separate incidents on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after more than 13,000 people set sail from Libya for Italy in an eight-day period.
The full details of the disasters emerged slowly because of the chaotic nature of the situation. The UN refugee agency said it was now certain that this was the highest weekly death toll since April 2015, when more than 1,300 died in two separate incidents off Libya.

Vastavam Web: A British parliamentary committee today asked Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg to appear before it to explain in person claims that millions of users' data was harvested for political campaigns.Damian Collins, chairman of the House of Commons digital, culture, media and sport committee, wrote to Zuckerberg asking for his own account of "this catastrophic failure of process".But it follows allegations that data from up to 50 million Facebook users was harvested by a British company, Cambridge Analytica, for use in the election campaign of US President Donald Trump in 2016.
"Following material published in the UK Guardian and The New York Times over the past few days, the committee would like to request that you appear before us to give oral evidence," Collins wrote."Your officials' answers have consistently understated this risk, and have been misleading to the committee.
"It is now time to hear from a senior Facebook executive with the sufficient authority to give an accurate account of this catastrophic failure of process."

Just finished the game! Really enjoyed watching Rad grow over the course of the story. There's oodles of charm in the jokes, character designs, and all the tiny details. I can tell you put a lot of work into this.
I found the difficulty a tiny bit hit or miss, but I might just be bad at games. I never got stuck for too long. I DID encounter one annoying bug toward the very end of the game, where if I exited the game and then hit continue again, even after saving, it undid all my progress. Other than that, I had a great time! Looking forward to whatever you do next. :)

Australians have one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. We grew up on the mantra, "no hat, no play" yet rates of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, have nearly doubled in recent decades.
Clearly our current sun safety behaviour isn't working, so it was only a matter of time before one of the skincare titans decided on a different approach.
On Tuesday L'Oreal launched "My UV Patch", an ultra-thin UV sensor the size of a 50-cent coin, designed to measure sun exposure in real time through its sun protection brand, La Roche-Posay.
The patch is the first of its kind and the man behind the technology, Guive Balooch, Global Vice President of L'Oréal's Technology Incubator said it has been several years in the making.
Whether you are showering, sleeping or walking the dog, the weightless patch can be worn for up to five days and works through the use of photosensitive dyes, which change colour when exposed to UV radiation.
Simply scan your patch to see your daily exposure to UV and the app also takes into account your hair and eye colour, UV sensitivity, GPS location and Ozone concentration.
"When La Roche-Posay decided to offer this product as an essentially free service, it occurred to me that we had a special opportunity," Balooch told The Huffington Post Australia.
"An opportunity to offer consumers an educational service that has the potential to revolutionise the way we monitor the skin's exposure to UV."
The patch is available from participating dermatologists with the purchase of La Roche-Posay sunscreen products.
"There are so many people that are aware of the adverse effects of being in the sun without sunscreen but don't realise how much exposure they're actually getting -- the patch offers a solution to that problem," Balooch said.
A recent study commissioned by La Roche-Posay examining the sun habits of more than 20, 000 people across 23 countries found only 27 percent wore consistent sun protection on their face.
"You'd be surprised of the effect just 10 minutes in the sun can have and when it comes to health and beauty, the most important product you can use is sunscreen -- sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB spectrums," Balooch said.
The patch has been designed for people both young and old.
"More and more we are seeing the way technology is rooted in the consumer experience and in the world of beauty it's no different. It's truly exciting because what that means is we're able to provide a new level of performance to our products," Balooch said.
Below, Balooch breaks down exactly how the technology works.
A little more high-tech than a legionnaire hat, right?
