Lesson for moms out there… we can't put ourselves last. That's my take away. I have been consumed with the last month of Campanile. Emotional saying farewell to regulars, staff, people who held my children when they were babies. The place where I met my husband. Consumed with taking care of my husband who had to close the door on a business he birthed and nurtured for most of his adult life. Consumed with making sure my children were not upset. That they could say good bye, but emphasizing our core is our family. No matter where we work or live, as long as we are together we are solid.
But, I neglected me. I virtually stopped doing my yoga which keeps me sane. I wasn't taking long walks. Also, since I don't want to cry in front of my kids, when do I let the tears flow? A couple times I sniffled with total strangers for a sec. But, I never had a good cry over it. My body rebelled. I got terrible back pain.. and then Shingles. Now instead of being at the bar with Felix and Nick. Or talking about old movies with Garrison I hang out with Shingles.
Now instead of getting Fries after school with Vivien. I eat with Shingles.
Now, instead of putting on make up and meeting friends at Camp, I stay in my nightgown with Shingles.
So, if you have never had it, here is the deal: IF you ever had chicken pox ( I did when I was 2 or 3) it lives in your spine..forever. If you get stressed and your immune system takes a dive it comes out through your spine and takes a trip on your body. There are few paths it travels. For me it was out of my lower spine, down around my left waist to my belly button and then down toward my c section scar. It's red, it blisters. At best it feels like a sunburn. At worst there are shooting pains that go up my back and down my legs. I can't lie on my left side. I beg my kids to not hug me around the waist.
I had the pain a week before the rash appeared. I had gone to a chiropractor for my bad back and he said I might have a hernia. Two days later I went back. "My back is better, but look." I showed him some red smudges.
"You have shingles." he said. That afternoon I went to my GP. He concurred. I like getting my back adjusted, but sometimes chiropractors and their alternative, no vaccine, blah, blah ways can bug. In this case he was in sync with my MD. This was brought on by stress.
In addition to the closing we also have a relative who has an addiction issue. I can't say more except it makes me CRAZY. Breathe. Trying to distance myself for the time being. Shingles is a companion, because when I have any stress, even a door slamming, I feel it in my body in the normal way and then it shoots through the path of the rash on a speed train of pain. Bonus stress!
Doctors said I should meditate. I took that to mean, go to bed and watch home remodeling shows. Thank goodness my husband is home now. He has been a big help.
I caught it early enough so I can tell it's clearing. I feel for people with chronic conditions that cause them pain. Because if I have to I can rally, and look fine, but it's tough and it's draining. I'm jacked up on meds. Which I blame for getting the times wrong for soccer. Kind of bad the coach shows up half way through the game. I flashed the parents my red waist, "Sorry, I have shingles!"
So, everyone… take care of yourself. Really.
I still need to cry.

A Conservative government would scrap the planned 50 pence per month tax on every landline - which the current government plans to use to subsidise faster broadband in rural regions - "as soon as possible", according to the shadow culture secretary Jeremy Hunt.
The levy hasn't yet been implemented but is a cornerstone of the current government's Digital Britain strategy. Ministers estimate it would raise £175m per year fund to pay for fibre in sparsely populated areas which BT believes do not justify a privately-funded network upgrade.
Former technology PR man Hunt said in an interview with the Financial Times today that the tax would be immediately binned after the next election if the Tories win.
BT currently has so far announced plans to improve broadband speeds for 40 per cent of the country by 2012 with a mixture of fibre to the cabinet and fibre to the premises deployments. The investment is targeted at urban areas where the return is likely to be greatest.
Hunt was not quoted as offering an alternative funding mechanism for "the final third" of broadband upgrades, where multiple economic assessments have found there is no case for private investment in rural regions without some form of government intervention. The relevant Conservative spokespeople were not available this morning.
One controversial alternative to subsidies would be to simply accept a new digital divide between town and country, although it would be an unlikely policy from David Cameron's neophile Tory party.
Indeed, in a speech in January, Cameron said a Tory administration would aim for ubiquitous high speed broadband within ten years. He didn't give any substantive details of how this might be achieved, but said his government would facilitate upgrades "by letting it be known that it will encourage and support the private investment required to develop the network".
The incumbent government meanwhile intends that communications providers will collect the levy on its behalf via a surcharge on line rental, so Hunt's plan to scrap it is likely to be privately welcomed by industry.
However Stephen Timms, the minister responsible for delivering the Digital Britain strategy, last month pledged to impose the levy before the next election. Firms could therefore be forced to bear costs of setting up and then within months dismantling a tax collection apparatus if both politicians get their way.
The latest the next election can be held is 3 June 2010, and the Queen's Speech, when Timms plans to introduce the necessary legislation, is on 18 November. ®

Everyone has those few things that make them laugh no matter what. For some, it's a person slipping on a banana peel and, for others, it's seeing a dog dressed up in people clothes. For me, it's watching grown-ups throw temper tantrums. Not only is it a pure expression of the most basic human emotions (you're so frustrated that you literally forget how to act like an adult), but its also hilarious because no matter how raging, powerful and destructive your tantrum is, you will never come away from the situation looking like anything more than a big whiny crybaby.
Needless to say, I enjoyed this supercut of film's greatest tantrums very, very much.

We've all had it, the inevitable lag such a joy to behold. What was weird is that it appeared to me to be hardware related, huh I thought. I'm running an Intel core i5 4670K with 16GB DDR3 1600mhz, Sapphire r9 290 and I have no lag with anything else. Confused I left this for a couple months but now I'm back to curious as to why. poor coding? probably but it is very old maybe its my 72k rpm HDD, possibly. maybe when I upgrade to an SSD. but this is a quick fix and if you have like my laptop does a HP n008sa which has 8gb ram and intel hd 4k and still the odd hardware lag
This is a fix for hardware related problems only and it will not help if it's because of your internet connection (but it may help a little)
You must have at least 850MB of free DRR2 or 3 RAM. Higher is better
Download and install RAMDisk freeware as long as you don't go over 4GB (which for the purposes of AE is more than adequate)
Install the usual way, Accepting EULA etc
Once fully installed it may or may not open the configuration tool if it didn't feel free to do so now. Once it has opened click on the view tab and select advanced. Now you should have a tab that says "settings" click it. enter 1024 for 1GB or just 850MB will do. Now at this point you can if you want select the load/save option and get it to reload it to the ram everytime you restart your computer as ram is volatile and will not save on shutdown. for the purposes of AE its rather pointless as for me it only takes me less than a minute to load the entire AE directory to RAM so not a big deal.
once you have selected the amount of RAM you want to use just keep the auto selected type of FAT (auto) now click start ramdisk it will set it up now and it should automatically launch a pop up saying new HDD found if it did good if it didn't your going to have to restart your computer on restart it will be there.
now just go to your program files and right click the pixel mine folder and copy or highlight and CTRL C. Then go to your computer open up the new HDD and click CTRL V or right click and paste depending on your ram will effect how long it takes but no matter what it will still be quick as DDR2 is still far superior to any traditional HDD once its in you can just open up pixelmine launcher and your done. loading times, bank entries anything should run fine now as its running it directly from memory and not searching your HDD for the data
Please not everytime you restart your comouter you will have to recopy and paste it back to the drive ramdisk (unless you've created a save and load file) is on but you do not have to do any of these steps again as RAMDisk will start on start up and remember size ETC. this doesn't really effect my PC as its never turned off but as I have said even my laptop transfers all of the pixelmine data in under a minute so its not a big deal.
FPS should also go up
on another note you can also make google chrome, firefox and IE to save all temp files, browsing history and usage to this drive which means on restart their will be no trace of any usage from these browsers which is great for privacy

Abbott Labs VP Suggests Having Mob Beat Up Columnist Who Exposed Shady Dealings
from the after-that,-he-might-need-a-heart-stent deptThere's a rather incredible story over in the Baltimore Sun about the extent Abbott Laboratories' execs went to in their effort to sell more of their heart stents. This is not a unique story, but every time I see a similar story, it serves as a reminder of the problems of putting "healthcare" in the hands of companies who have every incentive to sell you snake oil -- especially when that snake oil is patented and they can charge ridiculous monopoly rents for it.
The story involves a heart stent sold by Abbott. Apparently, Abbott cultivated a few doctors and plied them with all sorts of... well... most people would probably refer to them as bribes... to implant more stents. The article focuses on one Dr. Mark Midei, who "set a record" by implanting 30 stents in one day. That would be great if those stents saved lives. Problem is... a study earlier this year showed that stents were no better than drugs for many patients. Now, in some cases, they can certainly be helpful, but there was little indication that Midei made much of an effort to see if the over 2,000 stents he was implanting per year were really necessary. Perhaps this is why:
Abbott feted Midei at Ruth's Chris Steak House. It paid $1,235 for an " Alabama Pig Pickin'" barbecue at his Monkton home two days after the 30-stent marathon. A month earlier it paid $690 for beer and crabs served during a meeting at his house to discuss Abbott's "business strategy."Also, that 30 implants in one day was referred to as "Project Victory" within Abbott, and it was talked about how the company should continue to do more for Midei, such as "VIP trips." Oh, on top of that, after it came out that many of those stents never should have been installed, Abbott rewarded Midei by hiring him as a "consultant" to tell the world how wonderful Abbott's stents were.
So when all this started coming out in the press, Abbott responded with some (one hopes, joking) emails about how they should go beat up the Baltimore Sun columnist who was reporting on the issue.
"Don't you have connections in Baltimore?????" Pacitti e-mailed a subordinate regarding a January column I wrote on heart-artery stents. "Someone needs to take this writer outside and kick his ass! Do I need to send in the Philly mob?"Again, one hopes he's joking, but it again demonstrates the problems with letting these kinds of companies define healthcare in the US. I'm not against the ability to profit in healthcare, but shouldn't the profit be about actually keeping people healthy?

environmental impact statement
environmental impact statement, analysis of the impact that a proposed development, usually industrial, will have on the natural and social environment. It includes assessment of long- and short-term effects on the physical environment, such as air, water, and noise pollution, as well as effects on employment, living standards, local services, and aesthetics. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 as well as many state and local laws enacted during the late 1960s and early 1970s mandate that these statements be completed before major development projects can begin.
Federal-level environmental impact statements are written by any federal agency on its own behalf or on behalf of a state, local, or private concern that it regulates or funds. Because of the complexity of the environment and the many ways any one project might impinge upon it, the authors of an environmental impact statement usually represent many areas of expertise and may include biologists, sociologists, economists, and engineers. The types of projects covered include dredging, highway or dam construction, and real estate development. A draft statement is submitted to concerned government agencies, especially the Environmental Protection Agency, and to the public for consideration. In some cases litigation arises from environmental groups who want to block a project or from parties who feel that the assessment overstates the risks to the environment to the detriment of economic interests.
See R. K. Jain, L. V. Urban, and G. S. Stacey, Environmental Impact Analysis (2d ed. 1981).

By Matt Murphy
STATE HOUSE, BOSTON — Lawmakers who voted last year to index the gas tax to inflation to pay for transportation investments should not be afraid to take ownership of that vote, according to the chairmen of a committee reviewing a repeal proposal that appears destined for the November ballot.
"I can't speak for anybody else, but I think anybody who voted for it ought to stand up and stand tall. This is an investment in the safety of our roads and the future of public transit and to not do that is irresponsible. I don't make any apologies for the vote I cast last year and I'm happy to go before the voters and defend it," said Rep. Jay Kaufman, a Lexington Democrat and co-chair of the Joint Committee on Revenue.
The petition to repeal the law indexing the gas tax to inflation had a hearing before the Revenue Committee on Tuesday afternoon. After proponents cleared the initial signature threshold to qualify for the ballot, the Legislature has an opportunity to act on the bill (H 3847) or else supporters will be able to go ahead and collect the remaining signatures needed to let voters decide this fall.
"I think we'll have a discussion with members of the committee but I think even today with the testimony we heard there's overwhelming support, at least in this room, of maintaining the indexing of the gas tax," said Sen. Michael Rodrigues, a Westport Democrat and co-chair of the Revenue Committee.
The indexing law was part of a larger transportation financing package last year that also included a three-cent increase in the gas tax. By indexing to inflation, supporters say the state will collect up to $60 million by fiscal 2018 in additional revenue for public transit, roads and bridges and $1 billion over the next 10 years.
"The most important issue to us on the South Coast is South Coast rail and without the necessary revenues there's no way the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was going to be able to afford to make that important investment for economic development, so certainly those that represent the South Coast are very, very comfortable with the vote we took," Rodrigues said.
Opponents of indexing said the law absolves lawmakers from having to vote for tax increases year after year by making the increases automatic. "This is an abdication of our core responsibility as elected representatives," said Rep. Geoff Diehl (R-Whitman), testifying before the committee.
Diehl said the automatic gas tax increases will drive up the cost of school busing, groceries and deliveries for businesses.
Supporters of the indexing law greatly outnumbered those in opposition at Tuesday's hearing, with only Diehl and Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr lending their voices to the repeal effort.
Representatives from transportation and environmental advocacy groups, the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, the Massachusetts Municipal Association and the construction and engineering trades voiced support for keeping the law. They said the transportation financing plan that passed the Legislature last year would be unsustainable without the indexing component.
"This was quite a diverse group that isn't always on the same page on issues," Rodrigues said after hearing some of the testimony.
Richard O'Brien, president of the American Council of Engineering Companies of Massachusetts, said the indexing law is necessary for the gas tax to keep pace with the rising cost of construction and raw materials.
Jim Klocke, executive vice president of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, called the gas tax the "best and most effective way to finance transportation" because it functions as a user fee and can be earmarked to transportation infrastructure.
Diehl acknowledged that the Legislature is unlikely to repeal the indexing law this year as it did with a sales tax on software services that was also part of the transportation financing plan, but expressed optimism about taking the issue to the ballot.
"I personally feel that once the people have this in their hands there's no way it doesn't pass," the Whitman Republican told the News Service. Diehl said the ballot proponents are not against making tax revenues available for transportation, but believe the Legislature should be able to debate the issue on an annual basis.
As ballot question fuel the election cycle in 2014, Diehl said there's no doubt it will be a factor, pointing out the gains made by Republicans in the House in 2010 after a sales tax increase the year before.
Kaufman said he would leave predictions on the likelihood of a ballot question passing to "the pollsters," but Transportation for Massachusetts Advocacy Director Lizzie Weyant said public opinion polls have showed strong support for paying a little extra at the pump as long as the money is used for roads and bridges.
"We think it will give us another opportunity to educate the public about how this money is being used and the public was supportive of that in the past," she said.
In a memo to Revenue Committee members considering the initiative petition to repeal gas tax indexing (H 3847), Citizens for Limited Taxation on Tuesday said the law will trigger automatic tax hikes and if it's not repealed by the Legislature "will become a major issue leading up to the November election."
CLT wrote in its memo to committee members, "Assuming you will be running for re-election, can you defend your position in favor of taxation without representation?"

Kansas ODs get new rights in contracting with plans
Contracting with health, vision and discount card plans just got easier for eye care professionals in Kansas.
"The AOA applauds Kansas for passing this important legislation and is ready to work with states that are looking to pass similar protections in their law."
"On April 18, Gov. Sam Brownback (R) signed into law a bill that places limits on what health plans can require of optometrists and ophthalmologists.
"The AOA applauds Kansas for passing this important legislation and is ready to work with states that are looking to pass similar protections in their law," says Brian Reuwer, the AOA's associate director of State Government Relations.
Efforts by the AOA, the Kansas Optometric Association (KOA) and other state optometric associations and organized medicine in Kansas made this possible, says Gary Robbins, the KOA's executive director. The Kansas Society of Eye Physicians as well as the Kansas Medical Society had submitted written testimony to state lawmakers in support of the bill.
The new law reinforces patient choice, Robbins says. Specifically, it "prohibits a vision care insurance policy or vision care discount card that provides covered services and materials from directly or indirectly limiting the patient's choice of the sources and supplies of those materials," Robbins says.
The state joins several others in approving similar legislation that prohibits vision plans from forcing discounts on ODs.
The new law in Kansas specifies:
- Health plans can no longer require participation in a vision plan as a prerequisite to ODs serving on medical panels, or require that ODs provide non-covered discount eye care services to patients.
- An OD's participation in a discount card program is now completely voluntary—not conditioned upon participation in another discount card program or insurance plan.
- ODs no longer have to participate in one vision care plan as a condition of participating in another plan.
- Any changes to terms, discounts or rates in a contract must get written approval from the OD.
All of these stipulations "reinforce the doctor-patient relationship, the OD's professional judgment, and their ability to compete in the materials market," Robbins says.
The bill passed the state Senate and House of Representatives without a dissenting vote, despite strong opposition from health plans, he says.
States interested in learning more about the Kansas legislation should contact Daniel Carey at the AOA's Washington Office at 703-837-1343 or firstname.lastname@example.com .

Jay Macry necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 109 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
I have been in the IT field for years and I'm the one that people ask all the time - "Oh, you know about computers, could you take a look at mine?", 5 minutes after meeting me. I have done this many times and now want to do it as a business. I currently work as an IT manager with a fortune 500 company and have MANY resources in the people I currently work with and have formerly worked with. I am friendly and get along very well with the people I work with - something that is not always true of the "PC" guy at work...
Starting out targeting localized clients (Central New Jersey, USA). Again, to start, home computer users who need help setting up their PCs, home networks, keeping their PCs running well, virus-free, that sort of thing. I'm thinking mostly people who, at work, have the "IT guy" and Helpdesk to assist them, but no one to do it for them at home. I would offer both housecalls and pickup/dropoff service.
Eventually, I would like to expand to small business owners - maintaining their networks and PCs without the need for them to hire a full-time, onsite person. So, I would want the logo to be able to "adapt" to business owners and not just focus on home users.
If I know for sure what I wanted, I would still be fumbling in Photoshop to come up with some glossy text effect that ends up looking cheap! :-)
That's why I am coming to you creative folks! I envision something that conveys freindliness and competence, as well as someone with the years of corporate experience that I have. Obviously, the use of the website name (YourOwnPCGuy.com) would be involved. Otherwise, you do your thing! Thanks for any submissions - this is my first contest and I'm excited to see what comes in.

GeekSpeak necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 47 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for an original visual design (layered PSD only – NO CODE REQUIRED) for a motorcycle website. We would like a sharp and clean design suitable for use in a CMS driven site - i.e. the content areas need to be well defined as users will be given access to edit each block of content separately.
We need designers for ongoing work: We will be creating another group of websites over the next 2 months and will need at least 8 more designs including a health store, a fishing charter, and a home sellers site to start off with. We would like to find designers we can work with on a regular basis so we will be keeping details of the designers we like the best from this contest even if they are not selected as the winner this time.
The purpose of this website is to help people find our motorcycle shop and see what bikes we sell and what services we provide. We not only sell new road bikes, motorcross bikes, and farm quad bikes (Kawasaki and Suzuki brands mainly), we sell secondhand bikes, provide bike maintenance services for all brands and run weekend rides and bike adventures as well. We also sell accessories, trailers, tyres, clothing, oils, and parts.
We need to apply your design to a homepage, a photo gallery page (allowing a description of each image), and a page with a single content pane as well.
We are a small town business in New Zealand and we go the extra mile for our customers.
Warkworth Motorcycles
We do not have a logo or style guide as such. Here's the site we're revamping – don't be fooled by it's simplicity – we are looking to VASTLY improve it. http://www.warkworthmotorcycles.co.nz/
Key message to deliver is "We go the extra mile".
Include tagline "Kawasaki and Suzuki Specialists" somewhere in the header
Please include the Warkwoth Motorcycles logo in header but it should not be over bearing. The logo is available on the old site but could use some tidying as it is quite badly pixelated. If you can make it smoother we would be eternally grateful.
Please do not use images from the old site, we want a fresh look. All the blurbs about the bikes are going to be rewritten to be shorter but feel free to use bits of them to show where text is placed in your design.
Colour theme would be best to include the Kawasaki Red and Suzuki Blue to help reflect the brands we focus on. We would also like the logos of these two brands included somewhere on the homepage as we will be linking to their sites.
Although we would like some wow-factor in the visual feel of the site we do not want to stray from accepted website practices for placement of things like navigation.
- Navigation should therefore be horizontal top or vertical left hand side or a combination of those two.
- Links should be easily identifiable from standard text
- Headings should not look like links or include icons (such as arrows) that would make people think it might be a link
- There should be some way of knowing what page you are on in the menu (i.e. which menu item you have selected)
- There should be a followed link colour
- Font should be one of Verdana, Tahoma or Arial
- Must fit a screen width of 1024 x 768 pixels
Stock Photos:
We recommend that all contestants use iStockPhoto or a similar service for the site images. We will pay for the winning contestants stock images. Please bookmark or save the image numbers so we can easily locate them and pay for a license.
Because this site is a New Zealand business it would be an advantage to capture the feel of NZ in the imagery used - although this is NOT A REQUIREMENT. For examples of NZ images with bikes see http://www.naturespic.com/NewZealan…W22=Search
Homepage should contain:
- Obvious links to the 5 types of bikes we sell (Farm bikes, Fun bikes, Dirt bikes, Road bikes, Secondhand bikes).
- Include a content block for a 'featured bike' or "what's new in store"
- A sign up form for our newsletter titled "WWMC Insiders" with... Join our newsletter and you get discounts, specials, event info., bike tips and news - with subscribe button
Navigation should include Home | About Us | Servicing | New and Used Bikes | Accessories | Events | Contact Us
Photo gallery page should allow for the following information about each image: Make, Model, Year, CC rating, hours, KMs, and about a paragraph of information relating to each image. Also a 'contact us for more info' email link.
Single content pane page (standard webpage) should be as stated, just a page with a single content block, and include examples of 2 levels of heading style, bullets and a horizontal line.
If you are including buttons in your design please show a normal, hover and active state for them.
- A fun and masculine style. Keep in mind both the road bike and farm king quad aspect of our business and give the site a sense of adventure (rekindling your youth, hitting the road) and also farming. It should make you want to get on a bike and head off for a ride.
- Keep it simple. We don't want clutter. We don't want 'fancy'.
- Crisp, sharp high resolution unpixilated imagery
- The site should not feel like you have to be rich to shop at Warkworth motors - this is not a Rolls Royce business. It should make the visitor feel like the store will have the right bike for them, irrespective of budget.

Wow this story was really scary. Waaa the finger looks creepy.
Glad you have no critical broken bones and all.
Be careful next time!
Once it happened to me that I was at a camp and there was a big ballon(?) slide. You know, where kids jump up and down and slide. So, my friends and I were playing there and everytime we slid down, we jumped first. Once I jumped the way too big and I didn't slide but I flew down. I landed on my back. I could hardly breath I was fucking scared. The worst thing was that nobody cared. Like I was sitting there and could barely speak and nobody fucking cared. Well, luckily it was nothing serious.
Sorry about my bad English. :S

Wellafter 10 years of not riding I recently bought and old sporty needing work and have enjoyed fixing it up as well as riding the hell out of it.I've just reached 40 so I'm not far behind you.I thought about the same things you are and came too the same conclusion as you did about God but i also thought about the fact that when its our time its our time to go regardless of what we are on or in so go get that bike and enjoy it! I do not regret for a moment getting back into it.its something that never truly leaves your blood once you have really done it
PS love the show

. . . But what a way to go. I wouldn't trade the moments of exhilaration associated with twisting that throttle for anything. If given the choice I'd die young & screaming, over a long life where at the end I was still wishing & wondering "what if".

I'm sorry you got hurt, but don't let it keep you from riding. You will be missing out on too great of an experience in life.
Riding is in my blood. I don't yet drive a bike. I'm learning on our Trike. Yes a Trike. I can't get enough of riding on our 99 Heritage. But we recently got a Trike. You will find that a lot of the baby boomers are getting them and my husband is 61 years old. He has been riding since 1965. But he has broken both of his ankles, and he has scholiosis. I am 2" taller than him and combining all of this, it is getting more difficult for him to hold up a 750lb bike at stop lights. One day he won't be able to, and the thought of not being able to ride a bike again with me on the back is just not something we like to think about. So a Trike is perfect for touring and the Heritage is perfect for short trips until we can't anymore. Then he can ride it alone until I learn to ride my own.
I say it is in my blood because my grandfather raced Harleys and Indians in the 20's - 40's both hillclimbing and flat tracks. Forgive the plug, but my husband writes for Thunder Roads Magazine and you might enjoy reading this article about him because my grandfather owned several bikes that my husband in all his years has never heard of.
On page 4. In the April issue is a article he wrote on Trikes also. At the end of this article is why I don't like trikes and photos of us.
Sorry for the length of this comment. :(

Apple is working on software to remove the Flashback virus that's infected around 650,000 Macs, the company reported in a support document.
Apple is developing software that will detect and remove the Flashback malware. . . . In addition to the Java vulnerability, the Flashback malware relies on computer servers hosted by the malware authors to perform many of its critical functions. Apple is working with ISPs worldwide to disable this command and control network.
The Flashback virus is considered a Trojan horse, or malware, which presents itself as something innocuous but actually gives hackers the ability to control computer or servers. So far, the support document was Apple's first statement on the infection.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The Russian anti-virus firm Dr Web, which has tracked the virus estimated about 650,000 machines have been infected, according BBC News. (Security company F-Secure also has a how-to disable the malware on your Mac.)
Apple has been proud in the past that its walled garden environment makes it safe from viruses and other malware -- but that may be because most viruses are created to run on Microsoft Windows. But hackers are now finding that Apple is extremely vulnerable to Mac malware. We believe that hackers will see much more opportunity in the platform and Apple will have to be more proactive about malware from now on.

Writing new programming languages is a fun task, but dismally unsatisfying. The vast majority of languages that make it to a complete implementation are used primarily, if not exclusively, by their designers. If the designers are part of a company that hired them to write the language, then some cabal of employees or customers will compose the entire, quite-finite universe of users. Only the rare language breaks out into the Tiobe top 100 languages. And even among those victors, the greatest number will not ever enjoy usage above ¼ percent (as defined by Tiobe). Still, language creation is fun a hotbed of interesting ideas and is generally implemented by smart programmers who have a unique slant on the world.
The comparatively low rate of new language adoption is, in my view, not very different from the success rate of other software segments favored by many competing solutions: How many Web frameworks are there? Content management systems? Social networks?
The secret to language success is not easy to define and often relies more on luck than on quality of implementation. Luck being defined as the ability to tap into the zeitgeist and have the right product at the right time. Quality of implementation is typically not a decisive factor in achieving success. Many languages that are popular are no better than "good enough."
Quality of implementation, however, is critically important in the satisfaction enjoyed by users of the language. It is the experiential difference between writing Ruby and JavaScript. The factor that, in my view, most affects this quality of implementation is the vision of the original creator. Where the vision is maintained by a single individual, quality thrives. Where committees determine features, quality declines inexorably: Each new release saps vitality from the language even as it appears to remedy past faults or provide new, awaited capabilities.
It is hard to argue that C (and separately, C++) have become more vital since control of their design passed from the original creators to committees. Likewise, Java since it migrated from the original design group to the JCP process. Language extension by committee roll call tends to result in functional but not inspiring changes. So the language gets no new lease on life and simply lives inside its original skin getting progressively fatter, more complex, and dragged down by otiose features.
It's too easy to dismiss this process as the natural aging of all languages, but the success of the other model the benevolent dictator argues otherwise. Benevolent dictators make decisions about the language in consultation with the community of users. They are notable for being willing to extend the spirit of the language by making hard decisions that large committees almost always eschew. The best example of this is surely Guido van Rossum of Python fame. In 2008, after the language had become well established, Python 3, which was not backwards compatible with previous versions, was released. Over time, many of the features of the new release were back-ported to the old 2.x trunk. This invigoration of the language deepened the high esteem felt by Pythonistas for their language.
A similar benevolent dictatorship exists with C#. The language, as I have mentioned before, is remarkably well tended by a core group in Microsoft headed by Anders Hejlsberg. (Although there is an ECMA standard for C#, Microsoft is the reference implementation, and the company decides the new features.) The result is a language widely loved by its users (Miguel de Icaza: "It's a beautiful languages that is such a pleasure to program in") and admired by others. Lua, Ruby, D, and Perl are other successful instances of this model.
Fundamentally, a programming language is the product of a viewpoint on a specific problem domain. To keep the viewpoint sharp, rather than diffuse, the original vision has to be maintained, even if the implementation evolves. This is almost impossible for committees to do, as they are made up of members with differing agendas and a reluctance towards bold action.
As popular languages mature, they might be tempted to go the route of codification by committee. Codification is fine, but implementation of new features must remain the privilege of a benevolent dictator if the languages are to enjoy the continued love and trust of their users.

Is Russell Brand's Sex Addiction to Blame for Katy Perry Divorce?
Russell Brand has had a dark past filled with drugs and alcohol, but a new report claims that the comedian's sex addiction was the catalyst for his divorce from Katy Perry.
According to Hollywood Life via Us Weekly, a source said, "Katy was kinky enough during their first times together and he was very attracted to her." The insider added, "When things got bad, if they got a roll in the hay, they were always better after."
However, while Brand's sexual appetite may have been too much for the pop star, Perry's hard-partying ways and hectic schedule may have also contributed to the relationship's demise. In addition, Brand was reportedly unsupportive of the 'Teenage Dream' singer's career.
"She had so many things going on this year and there were so many times he wasn't there," a source said. "He told her she wasn't funny [when she hosted 'SNL'] and he was totally uninterested [when he sat front row at her last concert]. He seemed annoyed he was there. I don't think he sat through one whole song."
Moving vans were spotted at the couple's L.A. home on Wednesday. After 14 months of marriage, the A-list pair announced their split on Dec. 30 when Brand released a statement saying, "Sadly, Katy and I are ending out marriage. I'll always adore her and I know we'll remain friends."

The winning work will also be included in the upcoming SPD PUB 44 Annual and included in exhibitions on SPD.org.
"My colleagues here at VIBE are a hardworking and incredibly creative crew," said Mark Shaw, art director. "It gives me great pleasure that our work is being included in the SPD Annual and recognized by our peers. Also, a special word of thanks is certainly due to Pentagram's Luke Hayman for his superhuman contributions to our redesign."
On the heels of celebrating VIBE's 15-year milestone this past fall, the SPD recognition marks the 13th year that the magazine has been honored, having received 99 awards in total from SPD.
"I am absolutely thrilled for Mark and our in-house design team, along with our agency partner, Pentagram. The talent and hard work that is demonstrated day in and day out by everyone enables VIBE to maintain our huge quality advantage in the marketplace.

Welcome to the course
Welcome to the first course in the Learning online series. In this course we consider learning and collaborating.
This course is just one of a series designed by the University of Leeds for school-based learners and their teachers. As this is an open course, we do also welcome other learners; as you will have seen from the welcome area, we have a diverse cohort signed up. However, it is important to recognise that this course, and the content and activities within it, has been specifically designed to help those studying at school or college make the transition to studying at university or the work place.
It is anticipated that it will take around two hours to complete the tasks during this week. This includes watching videos, joining discussions, reading articles and completing any exercises. If you have more time, we have also provided some links to additional reading and resources.
This course is all about being an online learner; learning online is different to learning with others in a classroom – it needs different skills. This short course will help you to develop these skills.
We have provided a course map to help you navigate your journey through the course: click on the image to access, or you can download the map from the Downloads section below.
In this first week, you'll concentrate on building your skills so that you can learn and communicate effectively online.
Next week, you'll focus more on working with others. You will look at how to get the most out of online discussions when communicating with a large number of other learners, as well as smaller groups. You will also work with others to develop a collaborative resource.
There's plenty to keep you busy and interested, and we really hope you enjoy the course and the activities that we've planned.
Have your say:
Please use the comments to share your reasons for joining this course. Please also let us know where you are from; this course is open to learners world-wide.
Take some time to read the posts from other learners. If you come across someone with similar interests to you, you may choose to 'follow' them; you can then filter the discussions to only view the comments from those you are following. This can help to make discussions easier to manage.
