I recently tried to build the new version of GCC (4.8.1) on Ubuntu 12.04. I managed to build everything correctly, it passed the tests and I installed the new compiler.
I can build programs with the new compiler. I can run them. However, as soon as I try to debug them in eclipse it does not work. It gives me the following error message:
No source available for "main() at 0x8048693"
Is there something other than GCC that I should update to be able to debug?
Here is the "program" I am trying to debug and how I compile it.
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World!" << std::endl;
return 0;

Retail giant Lowe's is in the hot seat over an issue that has angered a right-wing Christian group and American Muslims.
Until recently, the hardware warehouse chain had been advertising on TLC's "All-American Muslim," a reality show depicting the lives of five families from Dearborn, Mich., a Detroit suburb with a large Muslim and Arab-American population. But a conservative Christian group called the Florida Family Association complained about the advertising, saying the program and Lowe's were promoting "propaganda that riskily [sic] hides the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values."
The Florida group sent three emails to its members, asking them to petition Lowe's to pull its advertising. Lowe's complied and now faces even more anger and outrage from American Muslims and others who support religious freedom and tolerance.
California state Sen. Ted Lieu called Lowe's decision "un-American" and "naked religious bigotry," in an interview with the Associated Press.
"The show is about what it's like to be a Muslim in America, and it touches on the discrimination they sometimes face. And that kind of discrimination is exactly what's happening here with Lowe's," Lieu said.
Lowe's issued a statement apologizing for having "managed to make some people very unhappy." Here's a snippet of the company's response:
"Individuals and groups have strong political and societal views on this topic, and this program became a lightning rod for many of those views," the statement said. "As a result we did pull our advertising on this program. We believe it is best to respectfully defer to communities, individuals and groups to discuss and consider such issues of importance."
Do you think that apology lets the company off the hook?

Tracking Healthcare Innovation via 'CMS Innovates'
Posted on July 11, 2013 by Gregg Masters in ACOs, digital health, Innovation
At the health innovation broadcast consortium (HIBC.tv) aka HealthInnovation.tv we track, report and feature the spectrum of innovation initiative from 'app to platform to business and/or service delivery model(s)', including CMS spawned public/private sector collaborative strains.
To date, much of the innovation metabolism and thus eyeball capture can be associated with if not attributed to the predominantly 'twenty-something' niche market driven health, wellness and fitness type apps. For example, there has been much consideration extended to 'mhealth' bio-metric tracking apps like FitBit, MyBasis, RunKeeper, as well as consumer empowerment 'pricing transparency' plays via CastLight Health, Clear Health Costs, Change Healthcare, SimpleeHealth and Cake Health, yet other than the less well known (until recently thanks to Dave Chase 'bunker buster' pieces parts un and deux) direct practice or membership based models there has been precious little innovation at the service delivery and thus business model level.
For a dated though accurate yet high level piece on 'flat rate medicine' aka 'direct practice' or membership medicine courtesy of the innovators in the Pacific NorthWest Qliance, click here.
[Editors Note: More on the re-emerging direct practice models (including Paladina Health and Iora Health) and space later….]
Meanwhile, thanks to the Affordable Care Act and in spite of the obsession by certain members of the House of Representatives to repeal the Act (I believe we're up to 38 go nowhere attempts and the recent effort by House Ways and Means Committee to leverage the delay of the employer mandate into a political payday) the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid via the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation aka @CMSinnovates has made a national innovation tracking widget available:

Many of you are enjoying the latest smash hit to grace Playstation land, God of War. I, too, have been along for the ride like the rest of the mass collective. After some thought, while mindlessly droning on at my day job, I began to realize the massive breadth of opportunity within the gaming industry for revivals that not only would work wonders as a cash grab for developers but also could do something for the gaming community like God of War has done.
God of War
I don't know about you, but just being carried away in the God of War pandemonium, despite my fandom for the series, has been socially exciting. Seeing the large community of gamers having discussions and sharing their excitement with each other that the game elicits is always something I love to be apart of. The first God of War debuted two console generations ago on the Playstation 2 in 2005. So for many, this does hold an element of nostalgia in it, as well, which I believe aided the recent release's success.
Nostalgia is important and, when used as a marketing tool, can be powerful. At least this is the case for me. I don't like to consider myself as one who is always looking backward, but one who enjoys the brilliant moments, pieces of art, music, or whatever have you that have accented the timeline of my life. I love my life, and I also love the memories I've accumulated, especially the ones that make me feel younger than I am (I recently wrote a blog about how Nintendo reconnected me with my childhood just in time for my son's own up-and-coming childhood). Having a healthy balance of the past, present, and future is what we as humans always strive for. And it's no different when it comes to video games. God of War has shown us that. The time of Kratos' Greek adventures is a cherished memory, but I love where we're at now, and what is potentially in store for the future. The fresh take on Kratos' perspective, combat, and story-driven adventure has breathed a new life into the series.
Resident Evil 7
Another such example was Resident Evil 7. Resident Evil 2 was one of the first Playstation games I ever played. The horror themes, mixed with the mysterious storyline sucked me into the game's orbit as a young twelve year-old. The revolutionary idea of playing the game first with Leon, then with Claire for the flip side of the story, or vice versa was also mind-blowing. I can't even count how many times I beat that game. Eventually, I'd play the first Resident Evil, then Resident Evil 3. After multiple spin-off games, the Resident Evil series floundered a bit. Eventually, Shinji Mikami (Creator of Resident Evil) made a return to the series and injected a new life into it with Resident Evil 4. Similar to God of War, we suddenly had a new over-the-shoulder camera instead of a fixed, cinematic one from previous titles. This ramped up the tension one felt when coming face-to-blade with a chainsaw wielding maniac. RE4 was a huge hit and revitalized a slumping franchise. Despite this, RE5 and RE6 didn't do the series any favors as they took this new model and pushed it away from horror into the action genre. Fans were displeased, I... was displeased. RE4 added to the action, for sure, but it harbored a healthy respect for the "survival" and "horror" that enveloped the small Spanish community.
Resident Evil 4
Eventually, Resident Evil became ripe for yet another rescuscitation. That's where Resident Evil 7 entered the picture. When it became clear that horror in the series had left the building, and the third-person style games were stained by the releases of RE5 and RE6, Capcom had an all new task on their hands. The focus was to bring horror back front and center, but in a way that felt fresh while still maintaining the DNA of the Resident Evil franchise. Now, Resident Evil 7 is a first-person shooter. But, I hesitate to use the word "shooter" as you might do more bullet-scrounging and running for your life in the game than most FPS titles. The first person perspective expanded on what Shinji Mikami started in Resident Evil 4, which was the notion of bringing the player even closer to the horror. And, boy, did it work. Like the previous games, the inventory, crafting, and saving systems are all the same, but the gameplay is something new, yet still familiar. It's really quite brilliant.
So the question is, with the examples I've provided with God of War and Resident Evil 7, what other franchises could developers take a look at again, and take a new artistic approach for a future iteration? Let me pontificate a bit on my top dream picks for this process:
1. Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry
Yes, we saw a Devil May Cry hard reboot already. While still a fun game, it may have been too much of a change from the aesthetics fans enjoyed of the original series, namely Dante's design. However, I feel there is an opportunity, not necessarily in the same vein of God of War... but also maybe so. Imagine taking the series back to the ivory-haired Dante we all started the series with, but elevate the story to something more dramatic. While I have fond memories of the original DMC trilogy, the story and, more importantly, the dialogue hasn't aged well. While playing the remastered games, there were moments, that I found myself cringing at line delivery. Capcom should hire an all-star writer and director, to push Dante into the modern era of storytelling where we look for gravitas, emotion, and twists and turns. Maybe we should also remove the fixed camera, but keep the gritty action.
2. Dino Crisis
Dino Crisis
I do realize that I am talking about, yet another Capcom game. But hear me out. For those who loved the first two Dino Crisis games (because let's be honest, Dino Crisis 3 was garbage), imagine this series as a first-person shooter. I know we have FPS dino games out there now (Primal Carnage and such). But those games are devoid of any awesome storyline like the Dino Crisis of old. Now granted, the dialogue and delivery still age very badly. But even if Capcom didn't do a soft reboot and remade the first Dino Crisis as an FPS horror where raptors and other gnarly predators lurk in the dark, dilapidated corridors of a facility thrown into disarray, that'd be a game worth doing. If the production design carried the quality of the production we saw in RE7, just think of how thrilling this game would be.
3. The Darkness
The Darkness
The Darkness was a mind-blowingly great PS3 game. It was a very early release for the console. In fact, I passed over it until a fellow comic-nerd friend highly recommended it. He told me the spirit of the comic is alive and well in this game and the story is visceral and brutal as hell. I played it, and then I agreed with him. Furthermore, this game moved me. Jackie Estacado, an enforcer for the mafia, became uncontrollably imbued with a demonic entity that happens to be herditary, on his 21st birthday. The Darkness (demonic entity) saves Jackie from being killed by a bunch of thugs, and in turn eviscerates them. The thugs were sent by none other than the mafia boss Jackie worked for because he failed in his duties. The game sets up an interesting dynamic between Jackie and his girlfriend, Jenny. One that is deep and intimate, and I was genuinely touched by their relationship. At one point in the game, Jackie can share a quiet moment on the couch with Jenny watching To Kill a Mockingbird. If the player so chooses, they could sit and watch the entire film. It's a resonating piece of storytelling that really solidified the bond between Jackie and Jenny. It was also the simple irony that not only would that moment be their last, but it was also the last "quiet" moment Jackie had as he was dragged knee-deep into the world of bloodshed and madness unwillingly. Later in the game, Jenny's life is threatened and subsequently (spoilers for a 12-year old game) taken by the mafia in front of Jackie. The catch was that even though he had demonic powers, they have a will of their own and forcefully showed Jackie who's boss in that moment by physically restraining him instead of aiding him. The game was an FPS title using a combination of guns and powers from The Darkness. The Darkness was not a tame beast either and in order to replenish it's health, it required eating the hearts of victims. It was an intense game to say the least.
The game was incredible and so was it's sequel. I think another The Darkness game would be fantastic, but the approach I'd take is actually the opposite of the others. I'd remove the FPS format and instead pull the camera back a little to give Jackie a solid third-person view. This would make for some stellar animations with the demonic entity that you never really got to see all that much of aside from the tentacles and darklings at your command.
These are just three simple examples of games I'd choose out of many more that would be ripe for a soft reboot that would enact a fresh vision or reimagining of the series. What are your thoughts? Are there any games you'd like to see get the Resident Evil 7 or God of War treatment or simply revitalized in some fashion?

For example, I usually lift 30 lbs with my shoulders but I could not even begin to lift 30. Even 15 felt like a ton. Then I went to Equatorial Guinea in Africa for a UNICEF assignment. On the way back I stopped in Spain as I had planned to continue exploring this wonderful country with Antonio.

The Power of the Traditional Publisher is Diminished
With the recent closing of the nationwide bookstore chain, Borders, and almost 11,000 jobs lost, the changes the Internet has had on the publishing world has been felt by everyone in the industry. Bookstores are adapting to survive, traditional publishers are losing their ability to lock-out unknown authors and self-publishers and e-books are thriving. Recent book publishing trends are exciting for manufacturers of e-readers and online retailers. Now traditional outlets are racing to get a piece of the e-book market. The best news of all is that the small, unknown author can virtually become a millionaire overnight through unyielding marketing efforts. Authors like John Locke, who wrote How I Sold One Million eBooks in Five Months are testament to that fact. Even though not every writer will become rich, the self-publishing world of e-books has been a boon for unknown authors.
The Internet is chipping away at the pillars of the stuffy traditional world of publishing. Small authors found it virtually impossible to:
- Get traditional editors to stop relegating their manuscripts to the eternal 'slush pile'.
- Even the ones who did get published had to fight a losing battle for retail space with favored authors.
- Get a second manuscript published unless the author lucked-out and had a runaway bestseller.
One of the most puzzling aspects of traditional publishing is the game of 'if it doesn't sell I can return it', that traditional publishers allow bookstores to play. Bookstores can order thousands of books and freely return them if they don't sell, usually within 60 to 90 days of the book's launch date. What happens to the author's royalties? The funds paid in advance based on the amount ordered will be reduced as the publisher credits the bookstore 100 percent for the returned books.
It's one of the most frustrating aspects authors dislike about traditional publishing. That's just one reason self-publishers are flocking to the Internet; no one rescinding 50 percent of an author's royalties for returns. One of the most frustrating days for me when my books were in bookstores was when the UPS truck would show up with one to three boxes filled with both my works, "sold" to bookstores around the country. The returns meant my check would be cut by up to 25 percent. It gave those stores no incentive to sell the books. Since I've been on Amazon, the need for returns has been eliminated and I receive a larger percentage of the profits.
The Amazon Powerhouse
The Kindle is Amazon's best-selling product in the site's history. And the megagiant business has had quite a history selling books. Over the past few months, for every 100 hardcovers sold on Amazon, consumers bought 180 e-books. James Patterson has sold 1.4 million ebooks — almost 850,000 of those were Kindle versions. The Association of American Publishers' reports that e-book sales grew 163 percent in May 2011 and 207 percent year-to-date through May.
Kindles, Nooks and other e-readers are changing the way the world reads. Advantages of self publishing on kindle versus traditional publishing include:
- The large number of free domain e-book versions available on e-readers.
- The lower cost of e-books.
- The ease of making the text smaller or larger.
- The ease of searching for text.
- No need to store large volumes of books.
- Ease of portability.
Amazon's Kindle is leading the way to helping consumers discover using e-readers. The device has tripled in sales since Amazon lowered the price from $259 to $189 and Kindle has 630,000 e-book titles available.
Self-Publishers are Cashing In
While big book stores struggle to remain relevant and traditional publishers lose their strong-hold on the industry, smart self-publishers are partying all the way to the bank. Publishers like author John Locke, who sold one million copies of his self-published fiction novel, Saving Rachel in just 5 months. Even at the low price of $0.99, that's $990,000 earned, with 70 percent of the funds going to Locke. That means he averaged $138,000 a month in those five months.
Amazon makes marketing and advertising books easy also. The powerhouse has an entire advice section devoted to associates who want to self-publish, market and advertise their works. And putting your book on Kindle is free. You simply pay Amazon 30 percent of each e-book sold. E-book self-publishers are only limited by their own imaginations. No longer can traditional publishers keep a book from publication.
By far, the largest book publishing trends surround the power of self-publishing along with Amazon's major impact on making e-books popular, making the path e-books have traveled as magical as the steps Dorothy took on the Yellow Brick Road. This has given rise to providing a new type of self-publishing power in which writers can revel. Now, when the next L. Frank Baum comes along with the next masterpiece and the traditional publisher relegates it to the slush pile, she can simply put it on Kindle.

Judge Nap Breaks Down How Clintons, FISA and the FBI Are Going To Come Crashing Down
April 8, 2018 in News, Video by Ken
Source: www.westernjournal.com
By Nick Givas
Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano broke down the upcoming investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the FBI and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday. He expects subpoenas to start flying.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced John Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, will be investigating Clinton along with the FBI and the Department of Justice for their role in spying on then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during the 2016 election.
"The attorney general appoints the chief federal prosecutor for Utah to investigate three things," Napolitano said.
"The exoneration of Mrs. Clinton before all the evidence was in. The exoneration of President Clinton and Secretary Clinton on Uranium One before all the evidence was in and the abuse of FISA by the FBI and the DOJ."
See the interview on Fox News below:
.@Judgenap on U.S. Attorney John Huber to investigate FBI @foxandfriends https://fxn.ws/2Ji6FSa
Napolitano called Huber a "de facto special counsel" and expects him to convene a grand jury to begin issuing subpoenas.
"So this guy is in Utah. If he comes to Washington, D.C., and gets a half-dozen federal prosecutors assigned to him and a dozen or so FBI agents assigned to you him — He is a de facto special counsel. He's doing what needs to be done," Napolitano said.
"He'll impanel a grand jury. They'll present evidence to the grand jury. The grand jury will issue subpoenas. If the subpoenas don't work, he'll go to a federal judge and get a search warrant."
"That's the way it's supposed to work."
Napolitano thinks Huber must make the trip the D.C. to be effective, because his power would be limited if he remains in Utah.
"If he stays in Utah. He cannot impanel a grand jury in Utah to examine something that happened in D.C.," Napolitano said.
"All the evidence is in D.C. You're examining NSA, FBI, DOJ, present and past. The Utah grand jury does not have jurisdiction over events in D.C."
"He will be toothless if he stays in Utah," Napolitano concluded.
"I've never heard of an effective criminal prosecution without a grand jury. You present evidence to the grand jury. You get the grand jury to issue a subpoena."

Hard Stuff #1 (Poland-US) Sept. 1994
Hard Stuff #1 (Poland-US) Sept. 1994. Editor: "Mariusz Kmiolek"
A one-off, combined effort from Poland's Thrash 'em All and US's Loud Magazine. I am not sure if it ever got off the ground into a regular publication(?), but this short introductory issue from late in 1994 was still pretty cool, with some ads and pics I have not seen elsewhere, some reviews (demo and album), as well as a selection of interviews and features on Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Absu and Setenced. (thanks Pawel)
Balance of Terror #3 (Canada, 1991)
Balance of Terror #3 (Victoria, BC, Canada) 1991. Editor: "Trev Jarvis"
(UPDATED) With interviews/features/mentions on Impetigo, Inverted, Agothocles, Bolt Thrower, Impaled Nazarene, Dark Tranquility, Hexx, Nuclear Death, Funeral Oration, Putrid (pre- God Forsaken), Wench, Raped Ape, Eldritch Horror, Ringworm, Impaled Nazarene and Demilich (check out those very early pics), plus letters and reviews, a feature on the Ku Klux Klan's history, Demi Moore (?), the Loch Ness Monster, Out From the Underground Zine, cool ads from Wild Rags, Itsen, Relapse and more and an editorial on "Rip Offs Killing the Scene." A centerfold with Dutch band Eternal Nightmare, and a very young "Ultimate Incantation"-ish era Vader is featured on the cover (yet are not featured inside)…PDF up as well.
Thrash Em All #1.4 (Poland) 1992
Thrash Em All #1.4 (Poland) 1992 (in Polish) Editor: "Mariusz Kmiolek"
Another issue of Thrash Em All from Poland (thanks again to Pawel). Features some really cool live/band shots I have not seen before, from the likes of Bolt Thrower, Samael and Nocturnus among others, as well as features/interviews/pics on Vader, Believer, Betrayer, Earache Records, Dead Head, Edge of Sanity, Dismember, Gorefest, Magnus, Nausea, Pan-Thy-Monium, Old Funeral, Pantera, Confessor, Solitude (USA-DE), Epidemic, Tiamat, and more…
Thrash Em All #1 (Poland) 1991 (In Polish)
Thrash Em All (Poland) 1/1991. Editor: "Mariusz Kmiolek" (In Polish)
Thanks to Paweł for the contribution. Another relic from the Polish scene to add to the collection. Features articles, pictures and/or interviews with Bendiction, Defecation, Carcass, Convulse, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Dorsal Atlantica, Exhorder, Kind Diamond, Loudblast, Master, Megadeth, Merciless, Paradise Lost, Pascal, Sadus, and more.
Grind Zone #1 (Italy/Spain) ? 1994 (En Español)
Grind Zone #1 (Italy/Spain) ? 1994. Director: "Claudio Cubito" (En Español)
A somewhat mainstream Italian publication, translated into Spanish for Spain (and published by a German conglomerate!), yet containing many cult underground acts in their prime. This goes to show just how far the 'underground' was from being really underground by 1994 – only to collapse back into obscurity more or less by 1995-96. Features and interviews with Entombed, Cathedral, Asphyx, Burzum, Tiamat, Samael, Gorefest, Anathema, Amorphis, Cynic, In Flames, Doomstone, Dark Tranquillity, Expulsion, Misanthrope, Osmose Productions, Century Media, Nuclear Blast, Peaceville, Roadrunner, Death, Eucharist, Impaled Nazarene, Absu, Phlebotomized, Sadness, Schizo, Cradle of Filth, Mind Riot, Black Shine, and Sadist.

Cancer vaccines 'could save millions'
Anti-cancer vaccines may prevent hundreds of thousands of cancer cases every year, according to a leading German expert.
Professor Harald zur Hausan told the ECCO cancer conference in Lisbon on Monday that one in 10 cancers might never develop if vaccines are fully developed - and delivered to every country that needs them.
Other viruses seem to play a role in the development of liver cancer and some lymphomas.
However, the latest research targets the human papillomavirus, implicated in cervical cancer.
In human volunteers, antibodies against HPV were 10-times higher following vaccination than after natural HPV infection.
Ahead by a nose
However, potentially one of the most significant advances is the possibility of a vaccine deliverable via a nasal spray rather than requiring injection by a trained medical worker.
One project is trying to carry the viral fragments which should trigger the immune response within another virus, called a parvovirus. Protection from HPV would be conferred by getting infected with the parvovirus.
Professor Harald zur Hausen, chairman of the managing board of the German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg, said: "This would be particularly suitable for tropical countries.
"If we can perfect these vaccines and apply them globally, then preventing infection by the most prevalent high-risk types of HPV could, in theory, prevent more than 300,000 cancer cases a year."
Overall, he said, the prospects for successful anti-cancer vaccines were promising. "We currently have 10m cases of cancer a year worldwide. On that basis, it should be possible in the future to prevent around 1.25m of them through vaccination.

With the goal of enhancing fans' self-service wagering experience, The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) will employ a new system and betting terminals from AmTote International across a suite of platforms throughout its racetracks beginning Tuesday, Sept. 3.
AmTote is constructing three Customer Learning Centers at Belmont Park and Aqueduct Racetrack that will be manned with knowledgeable staff to help fans quickly become accustomed to the new terminal user interface, the mobile application, and the processes for moving between the platforms.
The transition to AmTote wagering platforms at Belmont Park and Aqueduct Racetrack will begin immediately following the conclusion of the race meet at Saratoga Race Course on Sept. 2.
Following a careful selection and regulatory approval process, a long-term contract was signed with AmTote to deploy approximately 1,800 total terminals providing self-serve and teller operations. In addition, the company is deploying new self-service terminals for on-site account wagering. In select VIP areas at Aqueduct, dozens of wireless, tablet computers will be deployed featuring an embedded wagering interface.
AmTote's on-track mobile wagering device, MBet, will be incorporated into NYRA's existing mobile and wireless capabilities and throughout the NYRA Rewards platform.
The Customer Learning Center booths at Belmont and Aqueduct will provide a relaxed and convenient way to familiarize fans with the new terminal interface. Staffers will provide assistance with the terminals, pointers on navigation and also distribute free gifts.
Additionally, easily identifiable uniformed staff will be available throughout September in wagering areas and near mutuel lines at the racetracks to assist customers in using the terminals. AmTote and NYRA have jointly produced a video detailing the bet-making process, and the NYRA program each day will feature an informational page illustrating the simple steps for betting on the new self-service terminals.
NYRA mutuel tellers also have received intensive training to learn the new system, and they participated in a proficiency exercise to hone their skills on the new equipment. AmTote officials will also be available to help staff mutuel lines to further assist the tellers.
"We take very seriously the responsibility and privilege of operating the NYRA wagering environment, and welcome the start of a very important relationship for our company," said AmTote President Steve Keech.
Along with NYRA, AmTote also provides wagering systems at Gulfstream Park, the Maryland Jockey Club, Woodbine Entertainment Group and Oaklawn Park.

Starting off on Sloan Peak Trail, photo by Martha Rasmussen
The trail starts off on an old mossy road bed that quickly deteriorates due to erosion looking more like a creek bed. As you near the ford at the river, you will encounter a swamp, the work of a busy beaver, there are several saplings protruding from the ground in this area. Not only is this area a bit tricky to walk through but also they are quite sharp. In the late springtime Bleeding Heart and Trillium carpet the forest floor.
Fording North Fork Sauk River, photo by Martha Rasmussen
At 0.5 mile you reach the North Fork Sauk River, for many years there was a foot log at the crossing but it has washed away during high waters. Just a little down stream where the river widens fording the river is possible during low water. You can't predict the flow of a river, warming trends causing snow and glacial melt can take up to a week to contribute to the flow of the rivers below. When weather is cold a river will be lower, (and very cold), in the warm summer months as snow and ice melt, the rivers can be quite high and very swift and surprisingly icy from the glaciers, by afternoon the waters will rise as the day warms up.
Looking up at Sloan Peak, photo by Martha Rasmussen
Once crossing the river the trail climbs steeply through forest, at 2.0 miles it enters the Glacier Peak Wilderness where you reach Cougar Creek near the creek's middle waterfall. The trail fords the creek which can be difficult during times of heavy snow-melt. The trail will continue to climb to the meadows at the base of Sloan Peak. Beyond this point is the climbing route up to the snow slopes and ridge over looking Sloan Peaks glacier. This route should only be attempted by experience climbers with equipment.
Seasonal Interest:
Best Seasons: Summer & Fall
Level of difficulty: Most difficult
Elevation: "Trail" 1,900 - 4,800, climbing route to summit 7,835

That's fancy tech talk for 'you can wear those red-cyan cardboard glasses'. The EU release includes a pair in the box, however the US doesn't it seems.
While you can enjoy full stereoscopic 3D if you've got the TV set to match, SEGA decided to throw a bone to the greater majority with only two-dimensional capable TVs. The anaglyphic method uses the old cardboard red-cyan glasses, which discolour images a bit.

I'm thinking about success today. What it means to be successful. What I have to do to get there. What I'm willing to sacrifice. Everything costs something in this world.
The truth is that success means something different to everyone. To some it's massive wealth, to others it's being sought after for your intellect. To me it means achieving my goals and getting to enjoy the results.
1. Life isn't all beer and skittles
Human beings aren't fulfilled when they have only playtime. We need our existence to mean something and if all we do is eat, drink, and play, there is nothing that separates us from animals. We wouldn't have movies, books, TV, airplanes, cars, electricity, the Internet, and more if we weren't driven to do more with our brief lives. These things are fantastic, but everything is subject to diminishing returns. They need to be enjoyed in moderation. Only you can limit your playtime. We all need some playtime though, so make a little time to play those video games, go on a drunken weekend adventure with buds, or whatever works for you.
2. Haste makes waste, but when one door shuts, another opens
Patience is a virtue. Virtues aren't easy to live by. They take commitment. Patience is one I struggle with most. I was eager to be born and arrived a couple of weeks early. As a child, when I wanted something like access to my sandbox, it had to be "right now, daddy!" But I recognized this in myself as I grew up and martial arts is something that has helped me with it. Many things you just can't achieve overnight. They require long-term effort.
Any port will do in a storm, but after the storm calm returns you have to deal with the fact that you may be in a different place than you intended. Sometimes it's worth exploring that road and sometimes it's too much of a detour. Knowing yourself and your goals can help you figure out which it is.
3. Things don't come to those who wait
Things only come to those who wait if they've laid the matching groundwork for the thing they await. Goal achievement takes hard work and patience. To an outsider, a successful person looks lucky because they don't see all the times that person sacrificed. They don't see the holidays missed to learn a new skill, so you could be ready to make use of it when an opportunity came about. Opportunities also mean nothing if you aren't willing to take a leap. This leap isn't without risk, but you must calculate the risk instead of jumping blindly in like a fool. If you hesitate too much, you miss out completely.
All that said, some things do fix themselves. This is something you learn if you work in management. Not every fire is real. If you call the fire department because your smoke alarm is going off, you might be paying a bunch of money to them because your microwave burnt some popcorn. It's more important to know when to wait and when to strike.
3. Punctuality is the soul of business
The early bird gets the worm, but if you aren't a bird, getting up early may not make sense. Being on time doesn't necessarily mean a specific range of hours, but the time that puts you where you need to be when you need to be there. Being on time for an important meeting may mean you have to sacrifice elsewhere in your life in order to meet someone outside of office hours.
Some people are a little more time blessed than others, but being in the right place and time is only the right place and time if you have the skills needed to seize the opportunity. Nobody gets anywhere on luck alone. You can't win the lottery without buying a ticket and it's more likely that you've bought many over the years.
4. Little strokes fell great oaks
Sometimes all we can give is five minutes. Five minutes a day towards a goal adds up over time. Five minutes a day over a year comes out to about 30 hours. That's nearly one full work week. Maybe you have financial goals, but you don't have much you can set aside. Five dollars a day comes to $1,825 at year's end. It may not seem like much, but that would be enough to pay off my credit card twice with some left over. And if you can only save a dollar a day? You'll have $365 to go towards something like an extra payment on an outstanding loan to help you get out of debt faster.
Things like martial arts, learning an instrument, learning to write, building careers, and building relationships all take effort spread out into manageable chunks over time. Learning this fact has helped me with goal achievement.
5. Walnuts and pears you plant for your heirs
Some things you do may be meant for your children to reap the benefits from because they just can't get to a usable state during the time you have to live. This is OK. It's good to have goals of varying time frames. Short term goals like tackling the mountain of dishes can help us feel better equipped to tackle bigger goals like editing a novel. In doing those smaller things, you gain a feeling of accomplishment that helps you feel better about the other things you haven't finished yet.
6. What cannot be cured must be endured
There will be bumps along the way. Some you can get around easily. When dealing with those, you can't meet them half-way. You have to fix them or they'll keep resurfacing and continually eat away at your time, budget, and energy.
Some are immovable objects like a health condition that you just have to accept. Having an autoimmune condition, I know this. Luckily, mine is mild compared to some, but it still screws up my plans sometimes. I have the choice of how to deal with it. I can let it stop me and label myself a victim, or I can plan things for when I run into a wall of fatigue and can't do much but watch TV. The unexpected always happens at the worst time. If I have things on my to-do list that I can do when I'm tired like read a movie script or book, then I'm still accomplishing something. Sleep isn't a waste either. I need to make time to take care of myself or I'll find myself on a path to an early grave and it's hard to accomplish things when dead.
7. It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive
Remember the turtle and the hare. They each had their own way of doing things. Everyone knows if the hare hadn't taken a nap, he would've won the race, but we all manage situations differently. Don't compare yourself to others. The journey is often better than the end result, so it's important to enjoy yourself along the way. It's the journey that teaches and sculpts you, so stop and smell the roses, but watch out for thorns while you do.
Your path to success will be different even if you have the same goal as I have. We're different people, we make different decisions, and we have different tolerance levels for hardship. The path can be bumpy, but those bumps make you appreciate the smooth portions more. A smooth ride after a bumpy one feels like heaven, unless you love bumpy rides. A completely smooth ride is like the flat-line on a heart monitor.
As a tech geek, I'm looking forward to the day when we can just teleport somewhere, but I know we'll lose something when that day comes. Those goofy pics in gigantic Adirondack chairs taken near a highway pit-stop won't exist anymore. Maybe we'll have holodecks so we can simulate them. Journeys create memories that tell stories and humans love stories.
8. Self-preservation is the first law of nature
Don't let people tell you that you have to get involved in every social issue or other similar nonsense. No one has an infinite amount of energy to devote to the things they are passionate about let alone make time for things that don't excite them. Living life in a way that focuses on obligation rather than passion makes you resentful and eventually dead inside.
It's better to focus on a limited number of things and do those things well. You don't need to be everything to anyone let alone everybody. What would the world be today if Einstein hadn't focused on his Theory of Relativity?
9. The rotten apple injures its neighbour
Some goals require you to work with others. It's crucial to be picky about who you decide to work with. If their goals don't match up with yours, you end up with a result that doesn't work, possibly a broken friendship, damage to both your careers, and more. You never have to sign a contract that isn't right for you. You don't have to stay in the wrong dojo, the wrong writing group, the wrong band, the wrong job, etc. Only you can protect yourself. Remember that it's too late to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted. Time and tide wait for no one.
10. What you've never had you never miss
Many of my goals are about getting back to myself. The life I once had. I know it won't be the same and I don't want it to be. I've grown much as a person. I know what is missing in my life and that's why I pursue writing, music, and theatre related things harder than any other. They've been a part of who I am since I was a young girl. I've tried so many other things and they've all felt like a lie. One can't successfully lie to oneself.
Who knows? Maybe there's something else out there I could be awesome at like airplane mechanics. My high school aptitude test thought so. But I've lived the life of a mechanic's daughter. I've seen him get injured. I've seen the dirt that wouldn't leave the underneath of his fingernails. I've seen how much his back hurts after a lifetime of oil changes. I know mechanical skills are arguably more practical, but I also know automation is going to change that.
It really doesn't make sense to worry about other things you could be doing unless you aren't truly passionate about the path you're pursuing. This doesn't mean you won't have days where you hate it and wonder what you're doing and why. Every job has crappy parts.
11. Don't cross the bridge until you come to it
It's OK to know what the bridge looks like and even dream about it, but you can't go around announcing that you've crossed it when you haven't even reached it unless you want to look foolish. Seeing one bird when the ground is blanketed in snow isn't a signal to celebrate summer. It's not spring until you can plant your foot upon twelve dandelions. Wait until contracts are signed before you share the news. I learned this the hard way when I was younger. I was supposed to be involved in choreographing fight scenes for a play in my hometown. I was super excited about it and posting about it on social media. They decided to go a different direction that didn't involve me and I felt like an idiot.
It's also not the best use of time to worry about things that may never happen. That doesn't mean you do prepare for bad things, but you don't let the possibility of it happening consume your thoughts and take you away from achieving goals in the present.
12. After dinner rest a while, after supper walk a mile
Some of the other points may seem like they're contradictory. They all need a special ingredient called balance. If you spend so much of your time in business meetings that you never get time with your family or for yourself to think, you end up unhappy and get sick more often because you don't get to enjoy the fruits of your labour. Sacrificing time is OK done in moderation, but remember that you won't get that time back. Spend it wisely.
A watched pot never boils over. It may seem like it takes longer for it to boil. It doesn't. Monitoring how you're doing will let you know where you need to spend more time and help you be happy, healthy, and financially stable, which is a whole lot better than just wealthy in my opinion.
Guid cheerio the nou,

I was trying to figure out if I wanted to purchase a home security system and install it myself or if I should just let a professional come out and do it for me. Cost was not really a factor for me, but convenience was. That is why I ended up doing some research to find the best security system company there is. After comparing different national companies, I finally decided ADT was the one I wanted to go with. I did a search for ADT San Antonio so I could find a local dealer, and I was able to get a good bit of information right from the local dealer's site.
I looked at each plan in detail. As I said, cost was not a huge concern. Continue reading

Hello Honni! Goodbye Lenin!
The text by Iwona Reichardt, thanks to courtesy of "New Eastern Europe"
GDR. Stories from a vanished country. International Cultural Centre, Kraków, Poland. June 22nd - September 2nd 2012. Curator: Monika Rydiger
When Udo Lindenberg, a West German rock musician and singer, in 1983 pleaded to Enrich Honecker (whose popular nickname was "Honni" or "Honey") with the lyrics of what would become a cult song of the 1980s generation: "Honey, I will sing for very little money at the Republic Palace if you only let me," very few would have thought that in less a decade such requests would be history, when the German Democratic Republic (GDR) ceased to exist. Similarly in 1990, very few would probably have also thought that along with the reunification of the divided Germany, a new type of sentiment would emerge: the longing for what was built in the once isolated country; a country that was only familiar to a limited number of visitors, and quite foreign to all others, especially those behind the western side of the wall. In German this phenomenon is simply called Ostalgie, an expression coined from two words: nostalgia and the German word Ost (east). Outside the German-speaking world Ostalgie became better recognised after Wolfgang Becker's poignant film Good Bye Lenin which in 2003 amused – and perhaps even slightly shocked – viewers throughout Europe and in the world.
The gravity of Ostalgie, whose traces can be seen in all post-socialist states, is seen as a particularly East German characteristic, although the need to understand it clearly goes beyond the non-existing borders. The proof of this pudding was found on display in Kraków, Poland; to be more precise, at building number 25 on the Main Market Square and the headquarters of the International Cultural Centre (Międzynarodowe Centrum Kultury).
The exhibition titled GDR. Stories from a Vanished Country (NRD. Opowieści z kraju, którego już nie ma), which was organised by the Centre in the summer of 2012 (from June to early September) along with a few accompanying discussions (some organised at the nearby Goethe Institute – a co-organiser of the exhibition), gave its viewers the unique opportunity to go back in time and peek into the everyday life of a country that – as we all know – indeed, no longer exists, but also one that is still being longed for by some. The exhibition presents a collection of 170 black-and-white photographs by Sibylle Bergmann, Harald Hauswald, Ute Mahler, Werner Mahler and Maurice Weiss. All of them – as the organisers inform us in the professionally prepared exhibition materials – were prominent photographers working with the prestigious East German photo agency Ostkreuz.
For those who knew the GDR (East Germany) even slightly, a visit to the exhibit immediately brings back memories of everyday life under the socialist system. For those for whom the existence of such a state is a chapter in the history books, such a visit can be a valuable lesson. Regardless of the familiarity with the vanished regime, it is indeed a fascinating experience; but also an experience that leaves the viewer with more questions than answers. And this is not, by any means, the fault of the exhibits or the organisers; quite the opposite. The choice of photographs and their organisation into thematic sections, deepened by the adequately chosen quotes, including those from Timothy Garton Ash's The Germanness of the GDR, should all be highly regarded.
The questions that remain unanswered after a visit are stirred by the images of the everyday life of the GDR, rather than the sections depicting the political oppression or economic backwardness of the once glorified regime. Such questions come, for example, after a walk through the "In the block" section, which basically gives the viewer a taste of the once sought after "P2", or the "high-rise housing developments first elevated in the 1970s", as the exhibition materials inform us. They became the symbol and aspiration of East German middle-class families – small but practical. Their open kitchen shows that in the GDR the women's role was not limited to cooking and the men's place was not only on the couch.
Seeing the photographs hanging next to another on both sides of the narrow hall sends a chill down the spine. Were these high-rise developments all the same or different? The wallpaper is clearly different and some of the furniture arrangements show traces of individuality. Equalising or limiting? How should they be judged? Should we even attempt to judge them? Or what right do we have to judge the reality that we either are no longer a part of or have never been a part of? Even if we were stubborn enough and wanted to judge that reality, are there any grounds that we could use in making a sound judgement about, for example, Ute Mahler's 1974 photograph of newly-weds in their modest apartment, decorated with labels of western European products (Living Together cycle); or Harald Hauswald's 1984 photo of a couple embracing at Marx-Engels-Platz full of Trabants (the longest lived model 601 was produced for 26 years between 1967 to 1990, and is now highly regarded as a cult-like classic car, sought after by collectors); or Sibylle Bergemann's 1979 cycle depicting dance soirées at the popular, privately-owned, Clärshchens Bathaus dance club in Berlin?
The passage of time has proved, without a doubt, to be helpful here and allows for less ridiculing (as was the case not that long ago when the Trabi was called "the soap dish car" or "Honecker's revenge") and a more objective attempt at understanding the history of this European state. Hence, Basil Kerski, the editor-in-chief of the Polish-German magazine "Dialog" and the director of the European Solidarity Centre in Gdańsk, is right when he writes that "the complex legacy of the GDR, with all its negative and positive aspects is today perceived in a more clear and complex way than it was even a few years ago".
In the context of the exhibition and the search for answers to the questions that its viewing poses, it is important to mention the newest issue of "Herito", the Centre's bilingual (Polish-English) publication. The summer issue (7/2012) is also devoted to the countries that are no longer on Europe's political map. In one of the issue's essays entitled A Nation Without People. The GDR in the History of Germany, Stefan Wolle, a German historian, while analysing the unexpected emergence of Ostalgie writes:
And this current fascination with the past cannot be changed by scientific research, films, documents or any other memories of the reality of the socialism which once existed. In addition to the simple fact that 30 years ago everything was better because every one of us was 30 years younger, it is also important to understand the disappointments which came with the years of great change. The difference in living conditions is still significant, unemployment in the eastern areas is still consistently higher, and the migration of highly qualified and ambitious young people to the West is ongoing. The city of Berlin and the lands in the eastern part of the country will continue to be dependent on the money transfers obtained from the programme of equalising the budgets of the two German states for quite some time.
All in all, these are the maladies of today. And yet in their background one can still, at times, hear the echo of Udo's plea: "Hello, Erich, can you hear me? Hellololöchen, hello!"

Positivity: Pope Benedict stars in new children's book
Apr 15, 2012 / 04:08 pm
Natalia Tsarkova, known as the "Michelangelo of the 21st century" for her work as the official papal portrait artist, gave Pope Benedict a special gift for his 85th birthday: a copy of her new children's book in which he is the star.
Tsarkova presented her book, titled "The Mystery of a Small Pond," to the Pope ahead of time – his birthday is April 16 – during a private audience at his summer residence of Castel Gandolfo.
The two main characters in the literary work of art are Pope Benedict and a small red fish.
In an interview with CNA, Tsarkova said she came up with the story one afternoon while strolling through the gardens at Castel Gandolfo.
"While waiting in the fantastic and such spiritual atmosphere of the gardens, I got the idea to write a book and give it to the Holy Father for his 85th birthday," she said.
"It was like an inspiration that came from my heart. I had no trouble writing it because it came to me in a very spiritual way."
Tsarkova was born in Russia, was one of the most successful students at the Moscow Academy of Arts and is known for her portraits of numerous celebrities.
A devout Orthodox Christian, she came to Rome more than twelve years ago. Although she planned to stay just a few months, her life changed forever in 2000 when she was asked to paint a portrait of Blessed John Paul II to mark his 80th birthday.
She said it took her two years to write "The Mystery of a Small Pond," in which she attempts to convey the love Benedict XVI has for nature. …

Review: Crime pays only in heartache in sobering 'American Animals'
Privilege is a powerful intoxicant.
Just ask the four college students who, in 2004, tried to pull off a heist of rare books from Kentucky's Transylvania University library that they believed they could sell on the black market for a cool $12 million.
Inspired by way too many Tarantino films and lulled into a false sense of cultural security by their easy, middle-class lives and reputations as anonymous, boy-next-door "good guys," they think they're getting one over on the system. The reality is that they're just like the lowlifes who entertain them in the likes of "Reservoir Dogs" or "Animal Kingdom" — but just way more stupid.
That's the point of director/writer Bart Layton's engrossing "American Animals," a film that takes a mild curiosity from a long-ago news cycle and elevates it into something singularly fascinating. While actors portray the criminals, their real-life counterparts — fresh from their seven-year jail sentences — and their still stunned family members offer commentary about what they were thinking at the time.
At first, this technique — sort of a cross between "Ocean's Eleven" and "Dateline" — pulls the viewer out of the story. Yet, by the end, it complements what's happening, adding a welcome layer of regret and melancholy.
Barry Keoghan ("The Killing of a Sacred Deer") is Spencer, a quiet, aspiring artist who, while on a guided tour of the college library, becomes entranced by the rare-book collection in a private, appointment-only room. Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of the Species" is one of the marquee titles, though it's John Audubon's "Birds of America," with its colorful illustrations, that especially calls to Spencer.
He mentions this to his reckless friend Warren (Evan Peters, "American Horror Story"), a guy always on the hunt for an angle, who immediately wants to know what the books are worth. What starts out as joshing around hardens into a hare-brained scheme to actually rip off the library. They just need a couple of additions to their crew.
They find them in gym-rat Chas (Blake Jenner, "Glee") and brainy, wanna-be-FBI-agent Eric (Jared Abrahamson, the TV series "Awkward"), two more guys who think their dull lives are just movies waiting to have their happy ending. They hatch a plan involving disguising themselves as elderly people, that's ripe with the stink of failure but, high on their own hubris, they think it's the sweet smell of success.
Layton, a documentarian making his first feature, keeps things moving quickly, with shades of dark humor and an ear-catching soundtrack that ranges from Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation" to Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man." But, unlike Tarantino, it's less of a woozy, blood-splattered lark and more of a sober and sobering look at what happens when boredom, ego, testosterone and idiocy congeal into one huge, life-damaging decision.

After visiting different fields across Chile, I really came to appreciate the differences in irrigation methods. On the larger fields, pivots are becoming more common but there is still many stationary guns and even flood irrigation. Most irrigation water is transported by dirt ditch while cement ditch infrastructure is underway. Chilean farmers are able to grow very good crops with quite primitive irrigation methods.

My Chile Trip: Tree Farms Cover the LandscapeFebruary 16, 2009
Very early into my trip I quickly noticed the forests lining the Route Cinco (main highway) were tree farms. Hectares and hectares of tree farms populate the landscape of Chile. Forestry is a major industry in Chile and tree farms are a big part of it. We don't necessarily think of tree farming as agricultural but on the Chilean landscape it seems much more integrated. Both of the above pictures were taken from canola fields which shows that grain farming and forestry must coexist side by side. This is something we are not very used to in Canada. You can see in the below video that the trees are uniform and easy to spot in comparison to natural forrest. Chile is known for its rainforest species that are not found anywhere else in the world.
My Chile Trip: Winter Canola and Salmon Industry Have TroubleFebruary 11, 2009
Like many industries based on plant science and biology, there is alot of risk. This is definitely the case with the collapse of the Chilean salmon and winter canola industry. Due to lack of proper environmental practices and controls the salmon farms have been infected with a virus which is killing the salmon population. Consequently this has also significantly affected the winter canola business because its used in salmon feed rations. Compounding this issue is that there is no on farm storage in Chile. There are 40,000 acres of winter canola in chile which provides a nice rotation for wheat farmers.
According to a recent story by ipsnews.net, "Salmon is not a native species in Chile, but was introduced for farming in the 1980s. Today it is the second most important Chilean export, after copper…The United States and Japan are the world's leaders in the harvest of wild salmon, while Norway and Chile are close competitors for the top spot in raising farmed salmon, responsible for 38.7 and 37.9 percent, respectively, of global production."
The virus is called infectious salmon anemia or ISA, and is threatening the waters of chile.
In a March 2008 story in the New York Times "All these problems are related to an underlying lack of sanitary controls," said Dr. Felipe C. Cabello, a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at New York Medical College in Valhalla that has studied Chile's fishing industry. "Parasitic infections, viral infections, fungal infections are all disseminated when the fish are stressed and the centers are too close together."
For Chilean farmers that grow winter canola it has been a tough year because the salmon industry is struggling and many acres of winter canola have been grown without a contract and they have no on farm storage. I met with one Chilean farmer who told me that it is a very tough time for winter canola growers with the commodity crash and the lack of canola buyers.
The salmon industry is working hard to rebuild itself but not without challenges as output is expected to drop 30 percent in 2009. Fish are still dying while the industry tries to increase the environmental and feeding practices of the industry. Some critics say that not enough is being done while others just want the salmon industry to stabilize so that the winter canola business has an end use market for farmers.
My Trip to ChileFebruary 5, 2009
I will be in Chile until February 14th. I am going to try and post to the blog as much as I can while I am here but I will probably be able to add the majority of the content after I get back.
So far on my trip I have toured several canola fields and spent time in the back country this afternoon. I am staying in Temuco with a friend and it has really allowed to see the real Chile and stay away from the touristy destinations. Chilean agriculture is very interesting from the sense that there is many different things happening here. In the north around Santiago there is corn seed production and in the south there is a growing canola seed production industry. Chile also has dairies, sheep and cattle.
The main crop seems to be wheat (spring and winter) along with oats and forages. The country is currently harvesting and the yields are lower than past years. While here, I will be visiting different processing plants, field sites and a couple feedlots.
I look forward to sharing some of my trip with you over the coming weeks.

The Digital Nomad on Preikestolen
11/06/12 20:18 by Kjetil Kjernsmo (kjetilk)
Now, with only two weeks to go, it is really time to register for the Moving to Moose hackathon!
Sometime during our hacking, we'll try to make a visit to Preikestolen - one of Norway's most iconic places. But to get an idea of just how spectacular Preikestolen is, we need help from professionals. National Geographic recently had their digital nomad, Andrew Evans, go there and make a very nice video of his hike to Preikestolen. Well worth a look!

Chronic stress can take its toll on our bodies and minds. I work with individuals from a body-centred framework that connects and integrates our experience whether it be our sense of meaning, emotions, thoughts or the "felt sense" in the body. By using mindful awareness, I facilitate your process of accessing the "felt" sense in your own body and support the here-and-now shift that wants to happen. I have experience and training in working with early developmental trauma, including birth and prenatal trauma.
I am a Registered Social Worker with the Alberta College of Social Workers in addition to being a member of the Clinical Registry.
I have a certificate in Somatic Experiencing ® and am a registered Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP). Somatic Experiencing® (SE) was developed by Dr. Peter Levine, author of Waking The Tiger: Healing Trauma. SE® is a naturalistic way to reduce effects of chronic stress and trauma by facilitating the body's inherent capacity for health. This modality works with the nervous system to restore a state of flow and vitality, which becomes compromised from effects of trauma.
My Area of Focus
If you have experienced 'talk therapy' and perhaps have found its benefits haven't "stuck" with you, I encourage you to contact me. I offer a 15 minute complimentary telephone consultation to discuss any questions you may have and to see if body-centred therapy may be your next step to healing.

Imagine sending power wirelessly around a room, as easily as the way in which your mobile phone locks in on a Wi-Fi signal. That's what Ossia's Cota wireless power platform promised us at CES—and it's a pretty amazing vision.
To most of us, "wireless power" connotes a solution in which we place a smartphone on a charging pad or surface and walk away. Ossia promises to take that a step further: delivering power via RF frequencies of about one watt up to 10 meters away. Physically, Cota requires two different components: an array of transmitter chips, and receivers which will be built into phones or tablets.
Here's how Cota works: the premise is that every mobile device, such as a phone or tablet, sends out a "beacon" signal in all directions, identifying itself to a wireless or cellular network. More advanced Wi-Fi technologies "know" where the device is, such as a MIMO array of antennas used by some 802.11ac routers, for example.
Cota uses the same principle to safely deliver wireless power: it tracks the beacon signal as it bounces off walls and ceilings, then sends the power back on the exact same path. And if the device moves, the power is rerouted.
If a particular beacon signal isn't visible—if it's blocked by a person, for example—the power won't be delivered. Howard Mendelsohn, Ossia's chief financial officer, says that's the mechanism by which customers can be assured that Cota is safe for general use. Cota uses the 2.8-GHz frequency band to deliver pulsed power at 100 hertz, which shouldn't interfere with other consumer technologies.
+ Read all the stories from CES 2016 +
Ossia showed off a number of prototype devices that used the Cota technology, including a small garbage-can-sized cylinder that houses a fan-like array of Cota transmitter chips, Mendelsohn said. The company also showed off a few prototype cases that slipped over iPhones, charging them while being suspended in the air. The company even attached the chip to some rechargeable AA batteries.
Ossia executives suggested that the Cota wireless power technology could be used to power the Internet of Things, even in a future where wireless power effectively removes the need for batteries. And since the power is pulsed, they said that they could effectively transmit data over the same beam. They even showed off a Web app through which Cota could identify individual devices on the network—and then either prioritize or even bar them from receiving power as a security measure.
Naturally, Ossia won't be able to deliver Cota right away. Executives said that it should enter production near the end of the third quarter, and Mendelsohn said that the receiver chips should enter production at the end of the first quarter.
According to Mendelsohn, first-generation Cota products will include accessories, such as iPhone cases. If all goes well, next-generation products will include the Cota chips within them. Case maker XPNDBLS said that it had signed a deal with Cota to include its technology, and Mendelsohn said the company had received investments from Molex and Japanese electronics giant KDDI as proof that it's on the right track.
Cota sounds great on paper, although we'll have to see how it handles normal use cases: a smartphone tucked in a pocket, for example. But what's amazing is that what once was science fiction appears to be moving into the realm of reality.
This story, "Ossia's Cota wireless power platform juices up your phone as you walk around a room" was originally published by PCWorld.

SYS Informer is a simple system information tool that will give you a basic report on most aspects of your PC.
The Computer section provides details on your BIOS, CPU, hard drives, network, ports, graphics card and USB devices, for instance. These don't provide anything like as much information as a dedicated hardware information tool, like HWInfo, but are fine if you're just looking for basic information like your BIOS date or video adapter model.
The Operating System section includes generally more useful details, like your shares, installed fonts, file associations, environment variables and more. A simplified Event log is particularly useful, as it allows you to, say, display all your System log error messages in just a couple of clicks.
However, all too often the information is strictly "read only". So you can view an environment variable, or check where a system folder (like "Desktop") is located on your hard drive, but there's no way to edit this value.
Elsewhere the program provides a basic WMI class browser, which provides in-depth details on your memory, network, user accounts and so on.
And the System Manager section provides more details on your PCs software, including installed and startup programs, and running processes, services and drivers.
None of the modules here are what we would call powerful. If you're really interested in monitoring your running processes, for instance, we'd use Task Manager - it has many more features.
And SYS Informer appears to have a bug or two that resulted in a few unexpected error messages (nothing critical, though, and it is only version 1.0 so they'll probably be fixed soon).
Still, the program does a good job of collecting a wide range of data together in one place. And while it's a little basic, SYS Informer is also easy to use, and won't allow you to trash your PC by, say, deleting a boot driver. So if you're looking for safety, rather than power, then it just might be worth a look.
It's lacking in features, and has a bug or two, but SYS Informer is also easy to use and includes some genuinely interesting ideas. If you're intimidated by more complex system information tools then this could be a welcome alternative

Can I File for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 at the Same Time?
September 16, 2016 Leave a comment
"Sometimes one bankruptcy isn't enough." – George Veitengruber, Esq.
As we've discussed before on our blog, there are time limitations put into place that prevent a debtor from receiving a second chapter 7 discharge unless at least eight years have passed since their first chapter 7 discharge. You also cannot be granted a chapter 13 discharge unless at least four years have passed since you filed for chapter 7, so where on earth can we possibly be going with this?
Bankruptcy law disallows back to back bankruptcy discharges in order to avoid people abusing the bankruptcy system. With no restrictions, any debtor could theoretically bounce from one bankruptcy discharge to another, and that wouldn't be fair to creditors, nor would the debtor learn any valuable lessons regarding their finances.
There are situations, however, wherein a debtor can file consecutive bankruptcy cases, but only when the desired outcome is not a second discharge.
Most people associate bankruptcy with ridding themselves of all of their debt, the closest thing to a financial "do-over" that exists in the real world. While a bankruptcy discharge can indeed be akin to a capital tabula rasa, giving debtors a clean slate isn't the only function of the bankruptcy system.
For example, one of the most beneficial (and immediate) effects of filing for any type of bankruptcy is the automatic stay:
Automatic stay \noun\ a judicial order known as an injunction that halts any and all lawsuits as well as actions by creditors attempting to collect money from someone who has filed for bankruptcy
Many people file for chapter 7 when they have a significant amount of unsecured debt.
Unsecured debt \noun\ a debt that doesn't have any collateral attached to it that a creditor could take for payment if the debtor defaults
Examples of unsecured debt: credit card debt, student loans, utility bills, medical bills, some taxes, and most personal loans
In filing for chapter 7 relief, many or all unsecured debts can be discharged at the end of the bankruptcy case, as long as the applicant meets the filing requirements and no fraud is at play.
Frequently, a discharge of all unsecured debts so significantly reduces the financial strain on the debtor that they are then able to resume paying their monthly living expenses without difficulty.
Sometimes, though, even after a chapter 7 wipes out a huge chunk of their debt, some people are still left facing a significant amount of non-dischargeable debts.
Non-dischargeable debt \noun\ money owed that can almost never be discharged via any type of bankruptcy proceeding
Examples of non-dischargeable debt: child support, alimony, student loans, income tax debt
Still other people, after filing for chapter 7 and receiving a discharge, are left with secured debt(s) that they want to continue making payments on in order to keep the property that secures the debt(s) in question.
Secured debt \noun\ a debt that has collateral attached to it that a creditor could take for payment if the debtor defaults
Examples of secured debt: home mortgage, auto loan, valuable personal property loan (mechanical equipment, furniture, tools, etc)
Whether the debtor is left with substantial non-dischargeable debt or secured debt(s) that hold important value (usually a mortgage and/or auto loan), filing for chapter 13 immediately after a chapter 7 discharge will allow for a reorganization of any subsequent arrears owed, allowing the debtor to bring the loan(s) current.
Veitengruber Law can navigate your path through multiple bankruptcies! If you thought your financial situation was too "messed up" to be fixed – think again. Even better – we want to help you. Please give our office a call if your debts have gotten out of control. Your consultation won't cost you thing, so you've got nothing to lose.
