Posted by CBSNews.com staff
Suddenly, the idea of sending humans on one-way flights to colonize other planets is getting a public airing.
Just last weekend, NASA Ames Director Simon "Pete" Worden was quoted as saying that NASA has "just started a project with DARPA" called the Hundred Year Starship with the long-range goal of settling other planets. (DARPA is an acronym for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.)
The general idea would be to send humans to destinations where they would live out the remainder of their lives.
And now, a couple of researchers make the argument why the use of one-way tickets to the cosmos would be the preferred – not to mention the most affordable – way to establish human colonies on other worlds..
In a paper published in the Journal of Cosmology, Dirk Schulze-Makuch, an associate professor at Washington State University's School of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Paul Davies, a physicist and cosmologist from Arizona State University, say the costs of safely returning a crew would eat up the lion's share of the mission's budget.
"We envision that Mars exploration would begin and proceed for a long time on the basis of outbound journeys only," they write, adding that a Mars mission to Mars could exploit hardware technologies developed for the Moon program. "One approach could be to send four astronauts initially, two on each of two space craft, each with a lander and sufficient supplies, to stake a single outpost on Mars. A one-way human mission to Mars would be the first step in establishing a permanent human presence on the planet."
The rationale for a mission to Mars? Species preservation.
"We are a vulnerable species living in a part of the galaxy where cosmic events such as major asteroid and comet impacts and supernova explosions pose a significant threat to life on Earth, especially to human life. There are also more immediate threats to our culture, if not our survival as a species. These include global pandemics, nuclear or biological warfare, runaway global warming, sudden ecological collapse and supervolcanoes Thus, the colonization of other worlds is a must if the human species is to survive for the long term."
Their proposed scenario for the arrival of humans on Mars would first feature the insertion of robotic probes to set up an adequate energy source – they suggest a small nuclear reactor augmented by solar panels – as well as stockpiles of food tp provide the team with a couple of years. Also to be packed in with the first drop: "the basics for creating home-grown agriculture, one or more rover vehicles and a tool-kit for carrying out essential engineering and maintenance work."
How much NASA buys into the idea of one-way missions to Mars (and beyond) is less clear.
Although NASA was unable to verify the accuracy of Worden's comments, the report seemed to suggest that the idea of one-way manned missions is receiving serious attention within the nation's space agency. (NASA and several other space agencies have been studying plans to launch a Mars mission that would return soil samples to Earth.)
Reports of Worden's talk was first reported last week by Kurzweil Blog. He was speaking at an event in San Francisco.
You heard it here," Worden is quoted as saying. "We also hope to inveigle some billionaires to form a Hundred Year Starship fund."
"The human space program is now really aimed at settling other worlds. Twenty years ago you had to whisper that in dark bars and get fired."
According to the blog post, he went onto add that he expects humans to reach the moons of Mars by around the year 2030. At this point, though, he didn't have many details to fill in the bigger picture.
"How do you live in another world? I don't have the slightest idea," he said. "If you're a conservative, you worry about it killing us; if you're a liberal, you worry about us killing it. I think things like synthetic biology have lot of potential for that. I think rather than make an environment on Mars like Earth, why don't we modify life … including the human genome … so it's better suited to [Mars]?"
(Google co-founder) Larry [Page] asked me a couple weeks ago how much it would cost to send people one way to Mars and I told him $10 billion, and his response was, 'Can you get it down to 1 or 2 billion?' So now we're starting to get a little argument over the price."
DARPA subsequently issued a statement to CBSNews.com confirmed that it was working on a joint study with NASA Ames to explore the potential of developing "breakthrough technologies" that would be needed for long-duration space missions.
"A key element of the study is exploring models by which sustained co-investment by the private sector in these areas can be incentivized. The study is currently in the early formulation stage, but will be entirely open and unclassified, with more details forthcoming in early 2011."

Toronto Sun
Liberal MPP and former energy minister Brad Duguid says Tory Leader Tim Hudak is "completely irresponsible and out of his mind" for trying to extricate taxpayers and hydro consumers from the Liberals' green energy disaster. In fact, the only people who were completely out of their minds on the green energy file were Dalton McGuinty, Kathleen Wynne, Duguid and the entire Liberal cabinet and caucus.
First, their criticism of Hudak is a straw man. They charge Hudak would be irresponsible to tear up absurdly generous, 20-year contracts the Liberals signed with wind and solar power developers for expensive and unreliable electricity.
Except Hudak didn't say that. He said he won't cancel approved projects that are already supplying power to the electricity grid because it would cost even more to walk away from them. He did say he won't approve new contracts and will review on a case by case basis contracts awaiting final approval from the energy minister. Read article

Entertaining outdoors this summer offers many pleasures, including simple food in casual surroundings and freedom from worry about crumbs and spilled drinks on the furniture or linens. Celebrate the season with all types of al fresco dining from picnic to garden party to a candlelit celebration.
Picnic Party
Picnics can be a romantic occasion for two or a party for a hundred. The best part is, with longer summer light and warm weather, you can enjoy the outdoors with friends and family until late in the evening. And you don't have to do all the work. The word picnic, in fact, is loosely translated from the French for potluck. In keeping with that approach, ask your friends to contribute food, supplies or games around the "eco" theme. Fresh-picked organic produce from the local farmer's market is the most flavorful, healthiest, and simplest to prepare. You'll also end up with less excess food to carry out.
Garden Party
A more elegant al fresco option is a garden party. The key is to think of your backyard as an outdoor room. Create areas where your guests can mingle – use plants, a tent or groupings of outdoor furniture to casually section off intimate areas. Beverages can be presented in a large ice bucket or garden containers, and glasses, garnishes and ice can be set up nearby. Break the rules and use the bounty of your garden for natural décor. Herbs, flowers, branches and fruit can be arranged into inventive and aromatic centerpieces. Alternatively, try an earthier color scheme by using small, washed rocks from your garden interspersed with flowers or colorful vegetables. As the sun goes down, use natural wax candles or garden lights to set a soft summer evening mood. Lighting is magical in a garden and places focus where you want it. To keep the bugs at bay in an eco-friendly way, try citronella or eucalyptus oil.
Whether you prefer casual or more formal get-togethers, summer inspires us to live and entertain outdoors, where the natural world adds its own welcoming touches and beckons us to relax and enjoy its beauty. W

The best blogs offer relevant, targeted information on one topic. If you are passionate enough to write a blog about one topic, then this article offers plenty of valid advice for making that blog more efficient. Keep reading to learn everything you have to know to have a successful blog.
Frequently update your blog's content. In order to increase your site traffic and maintain it properly, you must always post new content. Without a relatively steady supply of interesting, relevant content, readers will have few reasons to come back. A general rule of thumb is to post new content no less than once, daily.
Attempt to be available to your readers at all times. Make a habit or routine for your readers and yourself. Making a connection with readers is important. When you start feeling like you want to give up, keep in mind that your readers will be very disappointed.
Write blog posts about topics that readers will be interested in. Nobody is immune from daily tasks such as sweeping and cleaning the dishes. Unless you have a unique way of presenting such common information, your readers really aren't going to care. Choose topics that you know people want to read about, because they are interested in them. Keep in mind that your overall goal is to gain regular readers for your site.
Be sure that your blog has search engine optimization techniques built into it. Your blog needs this in order to appear in search results and be seen by readers. Choose your keywords wisely, and make sure to place them in the titles, as well as in the content of your blog, to increase how many readers you are getting.
Create a blog that is unlike any other. Readers will be attracted by original content. Address issues that no one else has yet tackled online. Write about a hobby or experience that is different. Provide specifics of how widgets are made. Doing this will encourage readers to visit your blog when they're trying to find information on something specific.
A common mistake on sites is to overload viewers with Adsense ads, plug-ins and keywords. If you do this, search engines will flag you, negating all the work you are doing. Let your prose flow smoothly and naturally.
Make your blogs short and snappy. It is useful to have informative and detailed posts on your blog, but unnecessarily long ones will bore your readers. Blog readers don't want to read through a long, verbose post just to find a little bit of information. Your readers will want useful information without the garnishment.
You should add to your blog as often as possible. One of the most common mistakes of bloggers is starting a blog and updating it infrequently. Even if readers love your blog, they'll lose interest if they have to wait a long time for updates. A good rule to follow is to compose new blogs each week, and send emails about the updates.
Include navigation buttons on your blog, so that your readers can reach you through social media. Linking your site to popular sites like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, among others, will make a big difference in the success of your blog. Using a portal will give you lots options to communicate and reach out to the readers and possibly draw more readers in.
When you set up your blog, it may be wise to buy a domain name instead of utilizing a free site. A domain name is fairly inexpensive, and will make your blog look a cut above the rest. Having your own domain can make it easier for readers to remember and find your blog. Use your business name or a related keyword in your blog domain.
While trying to build a blog following, stay patient. It may take a while for people to find your blog. Additionally, your readers will not be able to spend a lot of time on your blog until you have accumulated a good amount of content. As your blog ages, you will be able to add more content and attract more readers.
Don't forget your life that is not blog related! It is easy to burn out if you spend all your time on the computer, so make sure you devote some time to other activities. Set aside time to go outside, visit friends, or even just mess around. Taking some time off will let you return to your blog refreshed and ready to write.
Focus on providing informative or inspirational content for your blog. The more your content interests readers, the more traffic you'll get. You will get more returning visitors if the blog's quality is good and honest.
Make your blogs short and snappy. Although you want to give your readers the detail and information they desire, if your blog is too long or wordy, your readers will lose interest. Blog readers do not require detailed and flowery prose. They are interested in the meat and bones of a subject and not a lot of fluffy garnishment!
When you start to blog, it is important to select subject matter that truly fascinates you. By blogging about topics in which you have a real interest, you will convey greater believability and authority. This will translate well to your readers, increasing their commitment to return.
Let your readers follow you more easily by providing them with the relevant social media links. LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites can be very helpful in getting your blog recognized and having it become successful. Theses portals allow you to communicate with your blog's readers and allow you to promote your blog to other Internet users.
When creating a blog, don't just write long, drawn-out paragraphs of useless information. You need to write informative content that is right for your blog. If you don't put thought into what you're writing, your blog probably won't become successful. Your content is the most important way to success.
Maintain the health of your blog. Perform any necessary maintenance tasks and make changes when warranted. This will ensure that your readers have easy access to your site and will keep them coming back.
Place your blog articles all over the Internet. This will help you to disturb your blog's content to a wider audience. Try to maximize the number of possibilities for success. Try to reach all of your potential audience at once. Use every outlet available to garner attention.
This article has just given you a healthy dose of good blog posting advice. Do not worry; feeling as though you have experienced a bit of information overload is natural. It can be hard work to run a successful blog, but doing so is worthwhile. Hold onto this article to reference these tips later if necessary.
Bulleted lists grab the reader's eye. Compliment these with sections of italicized text and keywords that fit your niche. Search engines like this kind of content and site traffic will increase accordingly. This little tip can make a big difference in the success of your blog.

Midland Air Service Experts was excited to sponsor the Midlands Ride for Kids a few weeks ago. This marks the second year that Midland Air has volunteered for this remarkable event that gives all the proceeds to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, the top nonprofit supporting research into childhood brain tumors. The proceeds fund free education resources, college scholarships for brain tumor survivors, and emergency financial aid for families.
Midland Air Service Experts gave $1000 to this incredible cause and the nationwide event has raised over $500,000. Rebecca Jumper, Midland Air's PLUS Maintenance Agreement Specialist, has been involved in the event since 2014 and her father's motorcycle group rides in the Midlands Ride for Kids each year.
"My dad's riding group rides every year because they can have a blast and ride motorcycles, all for an amazing cause." Take a look at Rebecca's dad below with his 2016 rider:

text: Dark_Matter 1 Report post · CID: 64515159725 Posted March 11, 2006 source of article: http://www.irc-junkie.org More news concerning DDoS'ers I'm afraid. Christopher Maxwell, of Vacaville California USA, 20 year-old, has been charged that he launched an DDoS attack in which he crippled a hospital. In the hospital the attack caused for the doctor's pagers not functioning anymore as well as shutting down computers of intensive care units. Maxwell will see his first court appearance on the 23th of this month. The botnet is thought to have consisted of 13,000 to 50,000 infected machines which were controlled over IRC. Although the attack heavily crippled the hospital (Northwest Hospital and Medical Center in north Seattle) nurses quickly switched to using charts and were able to prevent any human harm. Maxwell and two unidentified juvenile companions used a botnet to display unwanted advertisements on infected computers, which earned them an estimated $100,000. For his crime, Maxwell can face up to 10 years in jail, $250,000 fine and returning damages. Northwest Hospital published that its costs to repair the network were $150,000.

Organisers:Adult Education Centre Jesenice and Slovenian Institute for Adult Education (SIAE)
Time: 23 May 2017
Location: Jesenice, Slovenia
Event type: PAS event
Language: Slovenian
Manifesto topic: Migration & demographic change
Target audience: Migrants
Description: Some findings from the event: Voluntary work must be organised. There is a great need for voluntary work but insufficient cooperation between different organisations. There is less funding for integration policies, making the integration of volunteers into working with immigrants very important for facilitating the integration of the latter into the local environment. A successful integration of immigrants requires cooperation and integration of different organisations in the local environment – an initiative to participate in project activities of various organisations.

ARILD STAVRUM was a pretty prolific hitman in his day.
Twenty six goals in 54 games for Aberdeen between 1999 and 2001 are proof of the Norwegian's predatory instincts.
Little has changed since he hung up his boots and switched careers. He's still a hitman - but this time he's bumping off sports journalists. Well, just the one.
The poor guy meets his maker in a book written by the former footballer turned author, but he insists it's nothing personal. In fact, Arild always had a good relationship with the media and in his time in the Granite City wrote a column for a Sunday newspaper.
So it wasn't such a surprise when the 42-year-old turned to writing full time as a career when injury ended the football chapter of his life ten years ago.
Children's books followed but Stavrum has found real success in the booming Scandinavian crime-writing market and his latest effort 'Exposed At The Back' has been endorsed by Norway's most famous exponent of the art, Jo Nesbo.
It's a crime novel with a football slant, delving deep into the murky world of back-handers and bribes, which Arild believes is far more rife in the game than we'd all like to believe.
The book centres on the murder of Norway's most famous football agent - with a poor sports hack also getting it in the neck along the way - and has been met with both critical and commercial acclaim in his homeland.
Now a deal has been struck to have Exposed At The Back translated and published in the UK and Stavrum is thrilled.
He said: "I've always wanted this to happen and it is a bit of a dream. I'm delighted that readers in Scotland will get the chance to read the book and I hope they enjoy it - it's a murder mystery and football rolled into one, so I'm it will interest a lot of people.
"I've always enjoyed writing and felt that at some point in my life I would like to commit to doing it seriously. I've reached that point now.
"The process is a little bit like football in that you get out of it what you put into it. If you don't train well, live your life properly before a match you won't perform as well on the pitch.
"With writing, I've discovered that if I don't put in the hours or I haven't carried out my research, the end product won't be as good as it would be if I do those things.
"It has been a learning process and I love it. I can lock myself away for hours and just write."
Stavrum is back in Scotland this week and it is a place he remembers with genuine fondness. "I loved Aberdeen," he said. "The people were great with me and I enjoyed living there.
"I come from Kristiansund, which is a town by the sea in Norway which relies heavily on the oil industry, so the similarities between the two places are obvious.
"I left Aberdeen to go to Istanbul with Besiktas because I wanted to broaden my horizons and see a bit more of the world. But I was really happy in Scotland."
His book might have been enjoyed in Norway, but not by everyone. He has been criticised heavily by football agents, who claim their profession has been besmirched by its content and Stavrum claims that the football authorities haven't been too pleased either.
He couldn't care less.
"The story is fictional and it is not autobiographical but some of the things in the book go on. I know it for a fact.
"I have never been offered a bribe myself, but I know a lot of things go on that the football authorities would not want us to know about.
"I was criticised for writing this book and people in Norway wrote stuff about how I was exaggerating the problems...then Norway was hit by a match fixing scandal in 2012.
"I didn't feel vindicated or anything like that. I just knew that a lot of nasty things were going on and as I knew a bit about them and obviously I know a little bit about football, I thought it would make an interesting plot for a story."
There will be more to follow. Arild has caught the writing bug, and whether he is writing fast-paced crime thrillers or children's books, he isn't going to stop any time soon.
"I just love writing," he smiles. "When I was a player, I was always reading books and I enjoyed writing whenever I could. Now I have a lot more to time to do it and I hope people enjoy what I am doing."
• Exposed At The Back, written by Arild Stavrum and published by Freight Books, is available now.

On Monday morning, July 18th, the Engel & Völkers Stellenbosch team excitedlyarrived at the office ready to start Mandela Day and do our 67 minutes of charity to give a little back to the less fortunately. This year we decided to put all our efforts in a very special project and place, Sizamele Crèchein Kayamandi,Stellenbosch.
The kids were so happy to see us and welcomed us with open arms, hugs and big smiles. They all lined up for some snacks and juices before putting on a little performance with a lot of enthusiasm. As part of our outreach, we have set up a donation box at Engel & Völkers Stellenbosch office. There are plenty of basic products these kids and exceptional teachers need to help education and form these students. If you have anything you would like to donate, be it old blankets, towels, soap (any form of toiletries), books or educational material,please drop it off at our offices and we'll take it through. For more information, you can keep an eye on our social media platforms or contact us directly on 021 861 7777 or send an email to email@example.com.

Had to take the boy to his driving school appointment yesterday, in Grand Junction, Colorado. Didn't make it to Moab, got distracted by 21 Road, a hard core Jeep trail nearby.
Don't we all wish driving school could be so fun?
Dream on kids — here is the reality.
After Louie's driving school session we ended up wheeling 21 Road, an excellent trail near Grand Junction that takes a boulder filled creek bed up into a backcountry area that's incredibly beautiful. The trail has some tough obstacles that require quite a bit of thought and care if you don't have a monster rig you can "point and shoot." We got wedged in one spot and had to winch out. Managed to clean some other tough lines though. Good stuff.
|Carnage can make me smile — at least when
it only costs a can of spray paint or a roll of tape to fix!

Because we run an open-admission shelter and contract with local government to provide animal control services, we accept every cat and dog brought to us that was either found running-at-large in Thomas County or is being surrendered by a resident of the same. For animals that are being surrendered by owners we ask for a $50 surrender fee to help offset the high costs of care for the animal while at the Humane Society.
Please Note: We do not accept animals from outside Thomas County
Please also note: We do not accept equine or farm animals, but may be able to refer you to a Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) licensed equine rescue. Other small animals and/or exotics will be evaluated for admission on a case-by-case basis; please call ahead for consideration.
We understand that sometimes it may be necessary to give up a pet, and we will do our very best to place yours into a new home. However, we strongly suggest that you use us as a last resort.
Before deciding to give up your pet, please make sure you are aware of all the possible solutions to the problems you may be experiencing.
If your pet has a behavioral issue, please consider consultation with a veterinarian or an animal trainer. Behavioral issues may often be the result of a health problem and can be corrected with the assistance of your veterinarian. Others may take the advice of an experienced trainer and a little time and patience on the part of you and/or your family to correct.
If your landlord doesn't allow pets, please contact us for a list of pet-friendly housing alternatives.
If you cannot afford to spay or neuter your pet(s), please consider our SNIP Thomasville program. It affords significant discounts on sterilization surgeries and is utilized by hundreds each year.
If you decide to give up your pet and find a home for him yourself, please read the following tips.
Talk to trusted friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, and your veterinarian, as they may know someone who might be interested in taking your pet.
Read these informative articles about re-homing from the ASPCA and HSUS.
Please be certain that the decision to surrender your pet to us is your final one. We will do our very best to find your pet a loving forever home, but we are unable to answer your inquiries after you leave your pet with us. So please do not contact us for this reason. If you have any doubts about surrendering your pet(s) to us, please DO NOT do so.
Personnel are available for admissions: Tuesday – Friday 8am – 6pm, and Saturday: 10am – 4pm
Please bring your pet's veterinary records, medication(s), and any other relevant information. All dogs must be leashed, and all cats must be in carriers. We prefer that puppies and kittens be at least 8 weeks of age at the time of surrender.
Please fill out an owner surrender form including as many details as possible to bring to the shelter with your pet. This information will be very helpful to us. If you do not bring the form with you, we will ask that you fill one out at the shelter.
You will be asked to sign the surrender form in our presence, present a valid photo ID showing your current address, and answer important questions about your pet's behavior and the reason(s) for relinquishing.
For animals found running-at-large in Thomas County we will ask you some basic questions such as time/date/location found and owner's name (if known). Every attempt to find their owners will be made, including but not limited to, scanning them for microchips, advertising in the local newspaper, and comparing them against lost animal reports that have been, or will be, filed. It they are not reclaimed, and after the legal holding period has expired, adoptable animals will be made available to the public.

This blog is dedicated to spotlighting select songs of independent or small-label artists. These songs can often (but not always) be characterized as pop music, encompassing its many sub-genres. However, none of these songs can be classified as "Top 40" (or any sub-genre thereof) typically heard on American radio and television. Proving that good, quality pop music is available…you just have to be willing to search for it or know where to find it. This blog takes away all of the work and leads the reader/listener straight to the discovery and enjoyment. The ultimate goal, of course, is to bring these "unknown" artists to the attention of the general public and give them well-deserved attention.
Song in the Spotlight: "She Walks In" (Easton, from H & H (2010))
Genre: Pop Rock
Review: From what little information there is available, TuneTraveller thinks Easton is still together as a band. Hard to tell for certain. What's not uncertain is the mass appeal of "She Walks In." Fun, catchy, up-tempo, high energy…all rolled together into one infectious pop song. And it doesn't hurt that the lyrical content is a theme most everyone will find relatable. But don't take TuneTraveller's word for it…give it a spin and check it out for yourself. Because if you don't like "She Walks In" then you need to schedule an appointment with the school nurse or your audiologist because there's definitely something wrong with your hearing. Easton is practically giving the song away on Bandcamp so sign up for your digital download today. In any event, that's a better outcome than discovering you're tone-deaf. Rating: 4 1/2 stars (out of 5)
Artist Bio: Easton is a West Palm Beach, FL-based rock and pop band. Its members are Marc Ryan, Chris Martin, Skyler Mondell and Elliot James.
Song available on: http://easton.bandcamp.com/track/she-walks-in. Here are a couple of links to the full recorded version: http://www.gettyimages.com/music/download-songs/376057-she-walks-in and http://grooveshark.com/#!/search/song?q=Easton+She+Walks+in. Note that "She Walks In" is not currently available for download as an individual track and you must purchase the H & H EP in its entirety (not a bad deal for $4 and some other decent songs).
Artist Pedigree: Unknown.

Next Union Meeting: June 4th Tentative
1830 hrs
Thank you to KPAX:
MISSOULA - For Missoula firefighters, being prepared is not only part of the job, it's part of life. And that's especially true when it comes to the unusual rescue situations that can crop up in a mountain city like ours.
But these trained experts tell MTN's Dennis Bragg their job can be made less hazardous if people enjoying the mountains will also do their best to be prepared, even more so in the winter months.
Firefighters today are called upon to do much more than extinguish fires and help you with medical emergencies. That's very true here in Missoula, where they are frequently called to perform mountain and river rescues. And because each scenario presents its own challenges and hazards, preparation is key.
"Absolutely and that's what the training is for us today, for the fire department, the fire department team members," said Missoula Fire Dept. Captain Dean Johnson. "We're being trained. We're given scenarios by Aerie Backcountry Medicine and we are the ones who are learning today. And part of that is our own gear, our own preparedness and then dealing with the patient. So that adds a whole other level when you have somebody else that you need to take care of."
Johnson says the biggest variable is changing weather conditions, and bikers, hikers and others not being ready for Montana's wild swings in temperature.
"But that's where people get caught," Johnson said. "You know, you head out on a day like today, you go up the Rattlesnake, you're just going to go mountain biking for a few hours, weather changes, you get hurt, you have a mechanical failure and now potentially you're spending the night out. Which can lead to a rescue situation."
For the firefighters, and for the well prepared recreationist, the objectives are the same. Check and re-check gear, have adequate food and water, and most of all, tell someone about your plans and stick with them.
"Let people know where you're going. And like you said, more often than not these days we really too much technology and in addition to my GPS I carry an old-fashioned compass. The batteries don't go dead on those."
For Johnson, making sure MFD crews are briefed and ready to go, dealing with the variety of situations that can develop are what makes a career as a firefighter such an interesting job. But he hopes their example can be followed by people enjoying their time off too.
"So hopefully I'm prepared, we're prepared and we're able to assess, treat, stabilize that patient and have a positive outcome at the end of the day. And that's a big part of what the training is today for the Missoula Fire Department."
If you'd like to learn more about backcountry safety you can find more information online.

WOAH! that was my reaction as soon as I stepped foot into this magical food land.
For those that don't know, Eat Drink SF is San Francisco's premier annual food, wine, and spirits festival that celebrates the Bay Area's world-class chefs and restaurants. Top restaurants from all around San Francisco gather for a weekend full of food, drink, and entertainment.
I walked in and my mouth dropped in awe. The decor was gorgeous, the food smelled amazing, and the atmosphere was popping! After taking a few pics by the main entrance display we quickly headed over to try the food. The first table we tried was Delarosa. They had these amazing meatballs, and if you know me you know I LOVE meatballs. I drooled over this for a solid 30 minutes.
Each vendor had beautiful dishes, and the cocktails were just as stunning. The Hanger One table was my favorite cocktail. I love a good vodka drink Super Duper also had a killer space. They brought in their ice cream truck and set up the space to be similar to a backyard bbq – picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and even corn hole! (Fun Fact – I even won $100 to Super Duper! Crazy, I know!)
We walked around for hours admiring everyone's delightful treats, drinks, and prizes. I waddled out of Eat Drink SF completely stuffed and with a bag of sweet prizes and gifts. This year was my first time at the event and you can definitely bet I will be back at it next year. It rocked!!!
I've got a lot coming up in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned to hear where else I pop up.

Kuen Surface Model
The beginning of the 20th century saw increasing complexity in the study of mathematics and it heralded the use of three dimensional models as teaching aids. One of these was the Kuen Surface, a rare example of a surface with constant negative curvature, first described by the German mathematician Alfred Enneper (1830-1885).
In 1936 Man Ray was hired by the art journal Cahiers d'Art to photograph the mathematical models of non-euclidean geometry at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. These models went on to be exhibited alongside many surrealist and modernist works at the Grand Palais. Man Ray's series of photographs and paintings called Shakespearean Equations contributed to liberating these forms from the isolation of scientific research, and presented to the public the world of mathematical elegance. This accurate representation of the Kuen surface is made in Germany of walnut wood, in a small production run.

Officially, I assume so. By what means do power elites smoke out outstanding Alpha Advanced regimens? I filmed this some time ago. I don't say this since individuals made a cake for me and massaged my back. There are no old sentiments on that conclusion. The hunky dory point bordering on Alpha Advanced is that you don't have to Alpha Advanced to…[Read more]

Tomorrow, President Obama will be signing a $16.3 billion bill to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs during a visit to Fort Belvoir, VA. The bill will expand health care for veterans and is hoped to be the first step towards fixing problems such as lengthy wait times, by allowing veterans living more than 40 miles from a VA health facility (or cannot get an appointment within 30 days of request) to seek outside medical care. But is it enough?

The Spiders from Mars group had its origins in Bowie's earlier backing outfit The Hype, which featured Ronson and Woodmansey, but Tony Visconti on bass. They were briefly signed as a band on its own, known as Ronno. With Bolder taking over bass, they were subsequently named via the landmark 1972 Bowie concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and were billed as such on the accompanying large-scale Ziggy Stardust Tour. They were present again on Bowie's 1973 album Aladdin Sane. Another leg of the tour followed that year, with the final show captured in the film Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. The group joined Bowie in the theatrical style of the material's presentation. Ronson's guitar and arranging during the Spiders from Mars era not only fit into this style, but also provided much of the underpinning for later punk rock musicians. In 1975 Bolder and Woodmansey reformed the band without Ronson, and were joined in this lineup by Mike Garson, Dave Black, Pete McDonald. Their self-titled album, released in 1976, was their only album before the group disbanded. The name came from the famous UFO sighting where a stadium crowd thought they had witnessed Martian spacecraft which turned out to be migrating spiders and not from the Martian areographic features often labelled as 'spiders' and 'baby spiders.' In 1976 the Spiders From Mars album was released. In 1975 the Spiders From Mars had been reformed by Trevor Bolder and Woody Woodmansey but without Mick Ronson and with no contribution or connection to David Bowie.

It's Monday morning and I'm in the office, as there's no internet hooked up at the new crib. I receive a call from a distressed Ms Moon. A water pipe at the back of the toilet has burst and water is gushing out everywhere and down the walls into the lounge. "Is the new TV okay, Love?" is the best I can muster up.
Tuesday evening gives me the opportunity to tick off former Football League club Workington AFC. The Reds' Borough Park ground is to die for. It's where Kop legend Bill Shankly plied his trade. The game finishes one a piece, with the opposition (Witton Albion) and the Reds playing a smashing game of football.
There's a knock on the door at 9:30am on Friday. It's my favourite French painter and decorator 'Rene' and his faithful sidekick 'the British Bulldog' (Millwall fan). I return home eight hours later to inspect their workmanship - I haven't a 'Scooby Do' what I'm looking for. Rene's painting is up there with 'French Impressionist' Monet and Morph's mate off the BBC Tony Hart. He celebrates with a Coors Light - he's not fussy and I wanted to get rid of that muck.
'Rene' has been on the Muscadet, so doesn't pitch up at ours until 10:00am on Saturday. I tell him not to bother with milk in his coffee, as we head out of the door. We're spending the night up at a boutique hotel called the Brackenborough, on the outskirts of Louth, in Lincolnshire - the reason being that we're at a wedding reception in the evening.
To be honest, I'm dreading the Bank Holiday weekend traffic, but apart from Newark being snarled up, it's surprisingly quiet on the roads. I've a Good Pub Guide entry to tick off in the village of Harby, in Lincolnshire; it's the sister pub of the Wig and Mitre on Steep Hill, Lincoln and the classy Caunton Beck, near Newark.
The pub could do with white-washing from the outside - I'll be tipping 'Rene' and 'Bulldog' the wink. Inside it's rather grand. A friendly barmaid pours me a pint of home-brewed Queen Eleanor -Trumpy Bolton will be laughing that I've gone for a bacon and Brie sandwich.
We can see Lincoln Cathedral in the distance. I've supported the Imps for over 45 years; I've completely forgotten they're at home versus Carlisle United. I'm obsessed with ticking new grounds off and have a good feeling about The Wong, home to Horncastle Town FC.
Parking isn't an option on Horncastle High Street. Ms Moon circumnavigates around the town before sticking the car in a Tesco Superstore car park. I hate Tescos with a passion - they've killed the small shopkeeper in Horncastle and tried to do the same in my old yard, in the village of Keyworth. The supermarket bullies have the audacity to charge £1 to park the car. I swallow my pride and cough up a quid, followed by a two-fingered salute as we pass the store and saunter into town.
Ms Moon is having a mosey in every antique shop on the street - it's a matter of time before we bump into Fiona Bruce or David Dickinson. As we walk back to the car park, in blazing sunshine, we chance upon an 80-year-old chap wearing a beige cardigan, England shorts, white socks up to his knees and sandals - there's nowt so queer as folk. Ms Moon has a funny turn, and has to be revived with a slurp of Buxton spring water.
Horncastle is a market town 17 miles east of Lincoln, with a population of 7,000. The lead singer of heavy metal band Saxon, Peter 'Biff' Byford, is a notable resident in the town. The Lunn Poly travel agency founder, Sir Henry Lunn, was from Horncastle. Poet Laureate, Alfred Lord Tennyson, was born only a few miles away down the road.
The Wong is only a three-minute drive away in at the hub of the community. I walk up a tight snicket as the Princess parks up. It's free entry. I later find out it's a thoroughfare for folk to walk, so the Club are unable to charge. It's a wonderful facility with hockey, tennis and rugby being played behind it. I'm saddened to hear that the local council wanted to sell out to Aldi - how can these elected idiots have the best interests of the local community? They are the same buffoons who rubber-stamped the Tesco superstore.
We fall in love with the place immediately. I usually enjoy the pre-match amble, but 'Antiques Roadshow' has put paid to the that. Within minutes of our arrival, the game has kicked-off. We stand on the far side of the ground, opposite the plush red-bricked clubhouse. AFC Boston are an unknown quantity and new to the League. They're full of young un's with bags of energy, but get muscled off the ball easily by their vastly experienced opponents.
Sticky's got the monk on ( means sulking, for folk 'down sarf'') at the break as it's 0-0, with neither side looking like they can unlock the door. We have a golden rule if the game ends 0-0 at a new ground; the non-driver (me on this occasion) has to make their own way home - at this rate I might need for the Lunn Poly family to book me a room for the night.
I bump into a Lancastrian walking his Westland Highland Terrier at the back of the far goal. He moved to Lincs around 20 years ago from Ashton under-Lyne. Maddie, the Westy, is grumpy too that it's 0-0 and has proper got the face on.
The Non-League family have the ability to spring surprises; today is no exception. Some folk know of my passion to make a cup of tea properly and brew it in a pot. Tea-making is a dying art; but not at Horncastle. There's no casually thrown tea bag chucked into a mug and drowned in scalding hot water. The tea is mashed and poured from the pot. A better brew will not pass my lips this season.
The game livens up in the second half. Ms Moon slopes off to the cashpoint in town; it's a ruse so she can tick off her 23rd antique shop of the day. I joke with the guy next to me that they'll be goals galore now the guvnor's gone - Horncastle score a couple of scruffy ones in her absence. A rosy-cheeked, puffed-out Ms Moon is miffed on her return to hear the scoreline. She sees a 16-year-old local lad smash home the third goal as it cannons back off the stanchion.
AFC Boston look dead on their feet. They replace a few tiring limbs and bring on their own young gun. We're wandering towards the exit, at the fag end of the game, as the beer garden is calling, and the sun's still shining. The sub picks up the ball on the left flank and jinks past a few defenders before unleashing a rocket of a shot into the top corner of the net. He celebrates with a triple handspring. Why didn't he start the game ?
Attendance: 61 (headcount)
Men of the Match: 'Rene and 'Bulldog' the Entente Cordialle painter and decorators.

Buddhism covers various traditions, practices and beliefs. It contains all the three in its philosophy and religion. Significantly, Buddhism has links to Buddha as it depends largely on his teachings. Buddhism has two main sub-branches which are the Theravada and Mahayana. The Theravada stands for the school of elders while the Mahayana represents the great vehicle. However, some classifications recognize a third branch of Buddhism which is Vajrayana (Laumakis, 2008). As a philosophy and religion, Buddhism comprises of re-known teachers such as the Dalai Lama. This paper explores the main characteristics and principles of the three branches of Buddhism. In addition, it explores the life and contribution of The Dalai Lama to Buddhism.
In Buddhism, Theravada is the oldest branch. Essentially, it refers to the ancient teachings or the teachings of the elders. Since it is the earliest school of Buddhism, it is strict and conservative. It has formed the main religion of Sri Lanka for many years. Though, recently Theravada is trying to keep up with modernity by adapting things like Universal inclusivity and the green government. As a philosophy, Theravada deals significantly with Vibhajjavada which in translation means "Teaching of Analysis". It has several philosophical thought although vitally, it relies a lot on the four noble truths. The four consists of suffering, basis for suffering, end of suffering and lastly, the way leading from suffering to freedom.
Theravada has three main characteristics. Firstly, impermanence, which focuses on change and how everything must under go change. Suffering is the second characteristic, and it attributes cravings to be the cause of people's suffering. This is so because people crave for things which are not permanent. The "not-self" is the next concept." it relates to a lack of a constant self. This is because individuals' posses' five aggregates attributed as not self. These attributes are physical forms, sensations, perceptions, consciousness and the mental formations (Laumakis, 2008).
On the other hand, Mahayana originating from India is the largest of the schools of Buddhism. It relies on its traditional teachings and refers to the trail of searching for a complete enlightenment for the benefit of all conscious beings. Mahayana comprises of early stone inscriptions found in the Indian Ocean containing the Mahayana Formulation. In addition, the inscriptions mention Buddha Amitabha. The period of late Mahayana Buddhism resulted in the development of four significant thoughts which are Madhyamaka, Buddha nature, Yogacara and the Logic of Buddha. Mahayana teachings comprises of expansive doctrines which coexist. It has an inclusive tradition having plurality and adoption of new Mahayana Sutras. Mahayana's doctrine comprise of principles which focused on the liberation from suffering. The great vehicle formed that basis. Buddha's existence is also focused on. Their expression of faith is through a person having faith and devoting oneself to the mindfulness of the Buddha.
According to research, Vajrayana is established to be the most multifaceted and complex form of Buddhism. This is so because Vajrayana evolved for several centuries. Vajrayana has several names attached to it, such as the Tantric Buddhism, Esoteric Buddhism, Tantrayana and Diamond Vehicle. All these names refer of the Vajrayana Buddhism. It depends on scriptures referred as Tantras. Vajrayana Buddhism has rituals comprising of skillful means. These rituals help in the substitution of the earlier abstract meditations (Sach, 2006). Vajrayana Buddhism has six topics concerning its teachings. The categories are Vajrayana as a recent composed teaching, its evolving from the local conditions of medieval India, scriptures and commentaries, as a subset of Mahayana Buddhism, as a fruitional vehicle and lastly, as an esoteric discipline. It has a textual tradition exhibiting a wide range of literary characteristics. The textual tradition blends in terms of verse and prose. Vajrayana has six key features. These include Upaya, Two truths doctrine, ritual, goal and motivation, esoteric transmission, vows, and behavior.
In conclusion, with these three sub-classes, Buddhism provides fields for comparative studies. The different texts provide different forms of learning and understanding Buddhism. Though classified differently, the characteristics of these three classes of Buddhism seem closely knit as they represent the same philosophy and religion.
The Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama refers to a Buddhist leader. It has connections to the Tibetan Buddhism. The name comprises of two words bound together, one from Mongolia "Dalai" and the other from Tibet "Lama". The word 'Dalai' means "Ocean" according to Mongolians, while the word 'Lama' means "Chief" to Tibetans. That explains the name referring to the Tibetan Buddhist teachers. Though, religiously the Dalai Lama is believed to be a rebirth of a line of Tulkus while traditionally, Dalai Lama represent the latest reincarnation of a chain of spiritual leaders who reborn to enlighten others. Besides his duties, the Dalai Lama is bestowed with the function of influencing the Gelug School. Dalai Lamas have had considerable influence on the Tibetan government between the 16th and 19th century. Recently, it concerns have arisen as to the position of the Dalai Lama and prospects of the position been abolished are lurking with some suggestions of making the next Dalai Lama, a female.
Research asserts that the name Dalai Lama is traced back to Altan Khan. He was a Mongol ruler and bestowed the name on Sonam Gyatso. This marked the beginning of the title as the next two predecessors were also bestowed the name. The name Dalai Lama is widely known in Tibetan culture as it reflects the embodiment of the Tibetan national character. Unlike in the past, currently, the office struggles for independence and cultural survival. The Dalai Lama also uses peace and compassion in treatment of people around him (Forsthoefel, 2008). This includes his oppressors and his own people. He uses peace and compassion since people consider him as the principal reincarnation of Chenrezig. This makes the Dalai Lama appear as an embodiment of the Tibetan identity, values and culture.
Several individuals have held the position of the Dalai Lama, since its commencement although many of them did not reach their majority. For instance, the eighth holder of the position died at a tender while still in his thirties. Many deaths of tragic deaths of Dalai Lamas followed thereafter but most of them attributed to poisoning by Tibetans for either being not easily manageable or being Chinese. Initially, the Dalai Lamas used to reside in Potala Palace during the winter and in Norbulingka palace during summer. But after the 1959 Tibetan uprising, the Dalai Lama sought refuge in India and that is where they are still located (Marcello, 2003).
Research establishes that the Dalai Lama sought help from the guardian of the sacred lake. This is so because she appeared to the first Dalai Lama Gendun Drup, in a dream and promised to protect the reincarnation lineage of the Dalai Lamas. Essentially, the search for the Lamas reincarnation mostly happens after death has occurred and consultation done with the Nechung Oracle. The high Lamas are the ones bestowed with the function of finding the Dalai Lama's reincarnation.
The future of the position is controversial as the fourteenth Dalai Lama alleged he was going to be the last Dalai Lama. Research establishes that this caused a furor in Tibet, as people did not expect him to utter the words he did. In addition, the Tibetan people thought that it was not the Dalai Lama's decision to reincarnate as the position was for helping the masses and they still needed help from a person in that position. The Chinese government intervened by electing itself to the position of approving reincarnations a move which received an objection from the fourteenth Dalai Lama (Forsthoefel, 2008).
In conclusion, the Dalai Lama is a high-profile position which a person holding it should be of help to the Tibetan people. Many individuals have held the position since it began although recently, outside forces such as the Chinese government have rocked it by trying to impose rules on the selection of individuals to succeed the office. Among other practices of the Dalai Lama is the reincarnation.

Things you will need
- White pumpkin
- Gold metallic paint
- Wire
- Modeling clay
- Glue
- Paper
- Thin wooden dowel
- Hot glue
- Carving tools
Direction for making
- Twist the iron wire in circular shape to form wheels. To give them an authentic wheel look, make spokes as well by twisting the wire across the diameter. To keep the spokes in place, either tie them together or use clay. The front wheels should be smaller than the rear wheels.
- These wheel structures will be very thin and to give them a thicker look, cover the wires with modeling clay.
- Once the modeling clay dries, cover the wheels with paper mache in order to make them stronger. You may avoid this step if you don't want to mess up with glue and paper but covering with paper mashe will make your wheels look sturdier and thicker.
- After the wheels have completely dried, spray paint them using golden paint.
- Measure the width of the pumpkin right at the place where you will be inserting the dowels for resting the wheels. Cut the wooden dowels accordingly and paint them using the gold paint.
- Scoop out the pumpkin and use the carving tool to carve out the windows for the carriage.
- Paint the outlines of the windows with gold paint.
- Insert the dowels in the pumpkin and hot glue the wheels on them.
- Light up a candle and place it inside the pumpkin. Bingo! Your pumpkin carriage centerpiece is ready to adorn your child's Cinderella birthday party table.

Canal 2 Journalist Reportedly Sacked Few Minutes After Airing An Akere Muna Interview
Ejanwei Moses, English journalist at Canal 2 Television in Douala has been sacked recently from service.
Moses Popularly Known as Senator Cletus was sent packing few minutes after airing the Akere Muna interview in which the straight talking barrister declared his candidature for the next presidential election in Cameroon.
Muna in this interview made known his intentions to challenge President Biya in the forthcoming 2018 elections and enumerates a list of promises for his ideal Cameroon.

Our inside sources say Moses had been warned severally on his reports on the ongoing Anglophone crisis rocking the North West and South West regions of Cameroon.
As a result, he was early on Monday refused entry into the Jambo TV program after having gone through the makeup process.
The journalist has served Canal 2 Television for over 11 years as an external collaborator where he has been running programs even on Sweet FM.
ARREYB has since then struggled to get to Mr. Moses who wouldn't pick up several calls we placed to him.
Moses however adds to few journalists sacked as a result of the crisis. Few weeks ago, another journalist, Elie Smith was equally sacked on allegations related to the Anglophone crisis.
Cameroon Journalists have in this period complained of intimidation which scares them from good reporting. Some have been imprisoned, others suffer job loss or receive a series of threats on their lives.

How do you encrypt files in a Zip file with WinZip?
WinZip provides two alternatives for encrypting files.
The most efficient way to encrypt files is to do so while you are adding them to a Zip file (.zip or .zipx).
WinZip ribbon interface
Legacy menus/toolbar
If you are creating a Zip file in a folder window using the context menu (right click), you will have an option to encrypt the files if the Add dialog is displayed. If you choose to add files to an existing Zip file using Add to recently used Zip file there will be no Add dialog and therefore no opportunity to encrypt the files while they are being added. In such a case, you can encrypt files after they have been added.
To encrypt files already in a Zip file:
In either case, WinZip will ask for a password (and encryption method if you are using the Classic interface) and then encrypt all files currently in the Zip file.
If a file in the Zip file is already encrypted, it will first be decrypted and then re-encrypted using the password and encryption method you specified. WinZip will first try to decrypt the file using the current password; if the file cannot be decrypted with this password, WinZip will ask you for the correct password. If you are unable to supply the correct password, the file can be skipped, and it will remain unchanged in the Zip file. The password you entered in the Encrypt dialog box will remain active until either you delete or replace it, or you close the archive.
How To Jailbreak iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 2G On iOS 4.2.1 Using Redsn0w [Windows]
Posted by iPhoneHacks on December 26, 2010
Redsn0w is a popular jailbreaking tool developed by the iPhone Dev Team.
iPhone Dev team had released Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 quite sometime back, which allows iPod Touch users to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1.
In this guide, we will take you through the step by step procedure to jailbreak iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 2G on iOS 4.2.1 using Redsn0w.
Here are some important points to note before you proceed.
- This guide is meant for iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 2G non-MC model users only.
- Please note that jailbreaking your iPod Touch may void your warranty and hence proceed with caution and at your own risk.
- Do not forget to backup your iPod Touch before you proceed. You can refer to this post for instructions on how to backup your iPod Touch.
- Please note that this guide is only meant for Windows users. We will publish a guide for Mac users shortly.
- After the jailbreaking process is complete, do not forget to checkout our article on tips to keep your iPhone secure.
- Please ensure you are running latest version of iTunes, iTunes 10.1 or later.
- Please note that Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 can only perform a tethered jailbreak on iPod Touch 4G and iPod Touch 3G. Tethered means that the jailbreak needs to be reapplied every time you power down your iPod touch. If you let the battery run out or restart your iPod touch then you will need to reapply the jailbreak by connecting to your computer (tethering). iPhone Dev Team has recently released Redsn0w 0.9.7 that will perform an untethered jailbreak on iPod Touch 4G on iOS 4.2.1 but it is currently not ready for the general public.
- Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 cannot jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 for iPod Touch MC model. This guide is only applicable for iPod Touch 2G non-MC models.
You can follow these step-by-step instructions to jailbreak your iPod Touch:
Step 1: Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 by clicking here and save the application in a folder named "Pwnage" on your desktop.
Step 2: You need to download iOS 4.2.1 firmware file:
iOS 4.2.1 firmware file for iPod Touch 2G users (iPod2,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw)

iOS 4.2.1 firmware file for iPod Touch 4G users (iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw)
Step 3: Double click the Redsn0w zip file and extract the application to the Pwnage folder.
Step 4: Connect your iPod Touch to the computer, which should automatically launch iTunes.
Step 5: From the 'Devices' section on the left pane of iTunes, select your iPod Touch device. Now, hold down the Shift button and click the 'Restore' button.
Step 6: Navigate to the Pwnage folder on the desktop and select the downloaded iOS 4.2.1 firmware file (iPod Touch 4G users: iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw, iPod Touch 3G users: iPod3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw, iPod Touch 2G users: iPod2,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw). Click on the 'Choose' button to let iTunes update your iPhone with the required firmware.
Step 7: Navigate back to the Pwnage folder and launch the Redsn0w application.
Step 8: You will be asked to select the corresponding IPSW file. Click on the Browse button and select the iOS 4.2.1 firmware file (iPod Touch 4G users: iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw, iPod Touch 3G users: iPod3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw, iPod Touch 2G users: iPod2,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw).
Step 9: Redsn0w will verify the firmware file and inform you if it has successfully identified it. Click on 'Next' to proceed.
Step 10: Redsn0w will now start preparing the jailbreak data.
Step 11: You will now be prompted to select the jailbreak options you would like. A few of these may have already been selected by default. Make sure Cydia is selected and select 'Next' to continue.
Step 12: You will now be prompted to switch OFF your iPod Touch and plug it to the computer. Follow the instructions and click on 'Next' to move to the next screen:
Step 13: You will now need to put your iPod Touch into the DFU mode. Redsn0w will take you through the necessary steps:
(a) Hold the Power button on iPod Touch down for 3 seconds:
(b) Now simultaneously hold the iPod Touch and keep the two buttons pressed for 10 seconds:
(c) Now release the Power button while keeping the Home button pressed until Redsn0w identifies the device:
Step 14: Your iPod Touch should reboot now.
Step 15: Redsn0w will now begin uploading the new RAM disk and kernel.
Step 16: You will now be notified once the jailbreaking process is complete. Click on the 'Finish' button to exit the application.
Step 17: Your iPod Touch will reboot once again (which could take approximately 5 minutes). After it has rebooted, your iPod Touch should be successfully jailbroken. You should find Cydia jailbreak app on your iPod Touch's home screen.
iPod Touch 4G and iPod Touch 3G users should select Just boot tethered right now from the options window and click Next to use Redsn0w to help you boot back into your jailbroken device on every reboot.
Hope this helped. Please don't forget to drop us a line to tell us how it goes.
YouTube intros a simple video editor
Jun 16th, 2010 @ 09:23 pm › Michael Bettiol
Earlier today, YouTube introduced a simple and very easy to use cloud-based video editor for its millions of users. Creating things like mashups couldn't be more simple thanks to the new system, requiring users only to drag their clips into sequential order, trim each clip to length, and then throw in some music and titles. Like we said, it's a very simple system that doesn't offer a whole lot of options. But for the average person who possesses neither the right software or the know how, YouTube's solution is pretty spot on.

How to add Hotkeys in Composer
Written within: Composer Tutorials
Composer can be a very tricky program to get used to. There are a lot of times people are asking developers to make a hotkey for their device. Believe it or not – it is extremely easy! In this tutorial, I will teach you how to do it.
For those who do not know, a hotkey doesn't mean your keyboard gets hot. It simply means when you press a button an application will load.
Let's get started, shall we?
Step One
Open up Composer and go to File > New.
You can choose any size you would like except for the Storm. Since the Storm doesn't have a keyboard this will not work.
Step Two
Go to Interactivity then Hotkey Actions.
Step Three
When the new box opens, select the last icon on the right.
Step Four
You will see new options come up at the bottom.
For the purpose of this tutorial, we will add a Hotkey to open up SMS and MMS.
Therefore, click the Next Key Typed button at the top.
Once you press that button, you will see a small grey box that says 'Press a Key to be used as the hotkey'.
Press $ (alt + 4) on your computer keyboard.
* If you are going to use the Spacebar, the hotkey will come up blank. *
Keep in mind, you can press any button on your keyboard that is on the Blackberry device. If you want to use # you can – you would press Alt + Q (#) on your Blackberry to open the application.
After you do that you will notice the $ sign next to Key and it also under Event.
Step Five
The last and final step is upon us folks! I told you it was easy!!!!
At the bottom of that dialog box, you will see the Launch Application section.
Press the drop down and go to SMS and MMS.
You will now notice the full line (Action and Event) is completed.
Press OK and export your file as an SVG.
When you press the $ sign, SMS and MMS will pop up. Make sure you separate your inbox's!
I hope you have learned something new!

We spot them out of the corner of our eyes standing in line at the grocery store. We're enticed by their words and before we know it, we're drawn into their crisp, shiny pages. Thumbing through the pages, we get the inside scoop on everything from the latest trends to career advice to the hottest gadgets. All of this and more come from one of our constant friends and confidants: magazines.
Our clients love magazines. They're one of the world's most trusted sources and best ways to reach consumers but on the PR end it can be a love–hate relationship.
Earlier this week, the Publicity Club of Chicago Luncheon gave PR pros a chance to get exclusive tips on securing placements from the sources themselves. The panelists included Bloomberg News Reporter Bryan Gruley, Today's Chicago Woman President and Publisher Sherren Leigh and Chicago Magazine Deputy Editor Jennifer Tanaka. Below are their top four tips for catching their eye and snagging a glossy spread.
Read up. Before brainstorming story angles or drafting a pitch, take a dive into the pages of the magazine you're trying to get a placement in. "Understand the different sections and boxes," said Gruley, "Then if you get interest, know your subject."
Think unique, unexpected and exclusive. The media landscape is cutthroat and editors want information they won't see splashed across the cover of a major competitor, a sentiment echoed by all three of the panelists.
Keep it short and sweet. It's the editor's job to see the big picture and craft a well-thought story, so ditch the flowery language and eloquent tale of your client's humble beginnings and stick to the facts. "If we're interested, we'll ask for more," said Tanaka.
Turn to writers. As the digital age fuels a 24-hour news cycle, editors' time is limited. They tend to turn to their writers and readers for ideas, rather than publicists and Tanaka suggests reaching out to writers directly. They are constantly hungry for new ideas and can delve deep into your subject, giving you an "in" at the magazine.
So fellow PR pros, armed with some words of wisdom from the magazine gurus themselves, go out there and make magazine magic happen!

Arnold , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME 'Batman Begins,' 'Casablanca' among upcoming releases Elaborate DVD and Blu-ray Disc editions of "Batman Begins," "Casablanca" and the venerated animated TV series "The Flintstones" top this year's slate of pricey gift sets from Warner Home Video, a category that experienced a whopping 26% growth in the past year, according to the studio.A total of 25 gift sets, priced from $40-$200, will be released in the final four months of this year, leading up to the holiday shopping season and targeting gift buyers.Warner began releasing DVD gift sets -- stuffed with cards, booklets and other memorabilia, and often housed in unusual packaging -- in the fourth quarter of 2005, with the original "King Kong" movie packaged in a collectible tin. Last year, the studio held a gala presentation party of its 2007 gift sets at Home Media Expo in Las Vegas, an encore of which was held last week."We're looking to bring our collections to a new level in the fourth quarter of 2008," said Jeff Baker, Warner's executive vp and GM theatrical catalog. "We've been very encouraged by the tremendous success of last year's 'Blade Runner Ultimate Collector's Edition,' which came in a briefcase, and the 'Harry Potter' collection, with (the first) five movies in a collectible trunk. It's quite apparent that our consumers appreciate these premium-priced gift sets, especially the rich content and memorabilia."Warner has done so well with its gift sets that it occasionally ventures out of the fourth quarter with a special collection or two. Such was the case with the "Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition," which featured all five "Dirty Harry" movies along with never-before-seen production correspondance and a replica of fictional detective Harry Callahan's wallet and badge. In less than 30 days, Warner shipped more than 100,000 copies of the set, which was available in both standard DVD and Blu-ray.Jeff Brown, Warner's executive vp and GM nontheatrical franchise, said revenues for gift sets over the past three years have been consistently growing "in double digits, and we expect that to continue through the fourth quarter."The "Batman Begins Limited Edition Gift Set," available in both DVD and Blu-ray Disc, comes with a motion art lenticular, a 32-page booklet that includes an all-new DC Comics adaptation of the "Dark Knight" prologue, exclusive photos, script pages and storyboards, five collectible postcards with never-before-printed key art from the theatrical release, and a six-minute preview of "The Dark Knight" -- along with $7.50 in "movie cash" to see the new movie. It also gets a jump start on the holidays, hitting shelves on TuesdayJuly 8.The "Casablanca Ultimate Collector's Edition," "I Am Legend Ultimate Collector's Edition" and "JFK Ultimate Collector's Edition" will likewise include an assortment of memorabilia, including picture books, while "A Christmas Story Ultimate Collector's Edition" will come with a "holiday starter kit," including cookie cutters, a holiday cookbook and a chef's apron.All three will be out in the fourth quarter; "A Christmas Story" is out Nov. 4, while dates for the two other releases have not yet been set.Also slated for the fourth quarter are complete-series gift sets of "Peanuts" holiday specials, "The Flintstones" (with six seasons' worth of Fred and Wilma available in one package, along with more than four hours of special features and a lenticular), "Batman: The Animated Series," "Get Smart" and "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."

SpierHead Winery is located near the top of Spiers Road on the benchlands of south east Kelowna, one of the newest wine regions in the Okanagan. Our focus is on premium quality wine which we produce from grapes grown on our estate vineyard and from selected Okanagan Valley vineyards. The hand harvested grapes are sorted at the winery and fermented in small lots.
Ironically named, our Gentleman Farmer vineyard was planted in 2008. Doing most of the dirty work ourselves, there did not appear to be any gentlemen present as the vineyard was prepared and planted. We grow Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. In 2014 we planted an additional five acres, exclusively to Pinot Noir. We now grow four different Dijon clones of Pinot Noir. This enables our wine maker to select from the different characteristics exhibited by these clones in order to create a harmonious, complex Pinot Noir from our home vineyard.
Our bright yellow winery, which includes our tasting room, was completed in 2010. All of our wines are handcrafted and aged in this facility.
In addition to our insistence on maintaining excellence in our wines, we are committed to showcasing specific terroirs of the central Okanagan Valley. Particularly with our Pinot Noir bottlings, we have embarked on a program to produce site specific wines which display the unique attributes of selected Okanagan vineyards.
Just Wine partners with the finest bars, restaurants, wineries and retailers from around the world!
