It's piano recital season again. I'd like to say that I play the piano but I don't think I can stretch the truth that far. We do, however, have a piano in the house and I am a fan of graphic black and white. I look at sheet music as a visual dance, with patterns and chaos and calm.
The treble and bass clefs were done free hand in royal icing. The music measure was drawn with an edible ink marker, free hand as well. I started by drawing the top line followed by each lower line. Then I added the vertical ends to the measure, the treble clef, notes and squiggles. The inspiration came from a stamp I saw somewhere along the way. To make the piano keys, I penned in an outside box and eyeballed 6 equal lines within that box. Royal icing was used to outline the outside box and add the black keys.
Time becomes supersonic in speed and, sometimes, how you know is when kids you know hit milemarker birthdays. How could it be that Katherine is sixteen? There goes another "little one" off to the DMV… Here was my way of helping her sixteenth birthday be (literally) SWEET!
I made this for my husband for Father's Day (because he is the bomb.diggity father/husband/man) but it could be sent to so many people for so many reasons!
My hubby rock and rolled it back in the day. He is still going strong and is so much a great papa. But I couldn't help but poke a little fun about the changes over the years (um, look at me calling the kettle black…). The concept all started mulling around in the back of my head in December of 2013 when I saw John Atkinson's cartoon about ZZ.z top. Please, please, please go to his blog site, Wrong Hands! His sense of humor is downright brilliant and his cartoons oh so clever! You will be chortling all day! Thank you John for allowing me to "cookiefy" your original design and art work!
And happy father's/dad's/papa's day all you handsome ROCKers out there! Rock and Roll forever!

Q: I can't add admob code interstitial android hi guys sorry about my english,
I have problem in my application Android , I have code panner in apps it's working! but I don't have code interstitial in application, I tried to enter this code
https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/advanced
*add under public class MainActivity extends AbstractContentActivity{
find this problem in eclipse :
Multiple markers at this line
- Cannot override the final method from AbstractActivity
- overrides
 com.ex.activity.AbstractActivity.onCreate

A: If you have control over AbstractActivity, remove the final keyword from onCreate and then you'll be able to extend it properly. Also note that in their example they're using just a plain Activity.
If you can't modify AbstractActivity, look at it's code it must have an extension point (overridable method) which will be called from onCreate.

EAGLE SOFTBALL Team ADVANCES to Quarterfinals
Posted on June 5, 2021 by shoemakerbugle
Updated June 6, 7:45am
Behind a complete game shutout by pitcher Gabby Ortega, the JGHS Eagles Softball team defeated Magnolia High School 10-0 by 5-inning mercy rule to advance to the quarterfinals in the CIF-SS Division 7 playoffs.
Gabby Ortega is all smiles after the shutout of Magnolia
It was a mismatch from the beginning, as Ortega set the Sentinels down in order in the top of the first, while the Eagle bats came to life with 4 runs in the bottom half. It would be more than enough run support.
The Eagles continued to pile on, however, as a big 3-run home run by Julia Cole to deep left-center field effectively put the game away in the bottom of the 2nd inning. Cole (#23) was the ultimate cleanup hitter, finishing the day 3-3 and just a single short of the cycle.
Magnolia's defense didn't help, as the Sentinels made 7 costly errors, including 4 in the first inning when the Eagles sent 10 batters to the plate.
JGHS also won in a 5-inning shutout in round 1 of the playoffs, traveling over 200 miles to beat Shandon High School 14-0 on June 3. So far, then, the Eagles have outscored their opponents 24-0 in these playoffs.
Mr. Cruz's scorecard and the winning scoreboard from Saturday's win.
Up next: A home game on Tuesday, June 8 against Alverno Heights Academy who beat Bethel Christian Riverside by a score of 12-5 on Saturday.

Brake Pads This is a required option.
4 pads will be included. These high performance brake pads are designed for carbon bike rims only and offer excellent stopping power even in the wet.
Whether you're chasing KOMs, racing criteriums, or preparing for your first Gran Fondo, the U35's are ready to take you to the next level. The deep profile is easy to handle in crosswinds, and comfortable to ride on rougher roads or rolling terrain.
Coming in at only 435g per rim, the U35 is designed to help you soar up the climbs while still given you that aerodynamic edge when the road becomes flat. The 17.9mm internal width works with anything from a 23mm to 33mm road or Cyclocross tire.
High TG: Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads.
Graphene Brake Track : Graphene added to the rim brake track allows for greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in the wet and brings more resistance when conditions are dry so less force at the lever is required. At this stage, with this newest brake track, you could order road Non-disc rims only directly online, however, please contact us at sales@lightbicle.com if you want to order a complete wheelset with that.
AeroTek: Our latest aerodynamic profile decreases lateral wind resistance and is both more stable and faster in a crosswind. A wider profile allows for larger and more efficient tires to be used without an aerodynamic penalty. Traditionally a tire can form a lightbulb shape when mounted on a narrow rim, but the airflow is much smoother with our wider rims.
DuoTek: Our clincher rims are manufactured in two pieces and then joined together. When designing the rims, our engineers, in every detail, demanded fewer joints. Fewer joints mean higher strength and stability.
TuffTek: A high-grade customized epoxy resin is used in our prepreg, creating a stable base for all of our road rims. Epoxy is less brittle than polyester resins and offers excellent flexural strength. Our consistent resin system, coupled with a precise layup schedule, allows for an extremely reliable and durable product.
Tubeless : All of our rims are tubeless compatible with bead seat retention. In most cases a floor pump is all that is needed to seal our rims. The bead shape is tailored to each rim width to achieve the best fit. Our hookless and clincher profiles have a smooth radius to reduce the chance of a pinch flat.
Robert Clark : I LOVE these new wheels from Lightbicycle.com. Stepping up from my alloy rims, I am riding a full ten percent faster from day one. My bike accelerates way faster now also, and I am generally able to be much more aggressive on it (which is helpful because I commute through Beijing traffic to work ;-) ). These wheels are definitely worth the money, and I will buy from this company again when I am ready to get carbon wheels for my daughters once they are ready to start riding on road bikes. On top of a stellar product, Lightweightbicycle.com has stellar customer service to match. Lightweight Bicycle's responsiveness to customer concerns is hard to find in any industry.
Scott : Hello, I currently have a wheelset with FSC38-CM-23 rims with an ERD of 571. Can I replace those rims with the RRU35C02 rims and reuse the same spokes and hubs on my current wheelset?
Hello Can you recommend this rim (no Disc) for riding in the Alps with 10 Percent roads and more?My wheight is 70kg, does your Graphene work?
Thanks,and the grooved brake track (Texture) is standard on this Rim or only for more money?
Hi there, is it any time soon that you will build a u shaped rim with a depth of 35 to 50 mm, but much wider, around 24, 25 mm inner width? I recently rode a pair of Enve SES 4.5 AR DISC, owned by a crazy enough friend of mine, and they basically convinced me to have a pair of wider wheels. Cornering it's simply amazing, rolling just as. I'm interested in these two; RRU35C02 and RRU45C02, willing to build two pairs of this at your work shop, with dt swiss and pilar maybe, but they have to be that wide. So any chance for that to happen?
Is it possible to have spoke hole drilling for triplet spoke lacing? I plan to build 24/24 hole triplet wheelset. Every third hole would need to be drilled angled toward the non-driveside rear, and non-disc side front. The key spoke holes on either side of the valve would need to be angle drilled toward the drive side rear and disc side front. This would be the same lacing pattern of all Industry Nine road/cx wheelsets, for example. Thanks!
Hi, What is the maximum pressure for a 25 mm tubeless ready tire ?
Is the price for one rim, or a pair of rims?
Thanks, Kartrin Yes, I have a 28-hole hub. You can work.


The Jupiter donation pickup area got its name from the Roman god of Jupiter, because everyone kept consistently misspelling the native name of the place. At first, the land was named after the Hobe Indian tribe living in the Jupiter area and present-day Hobe Sound, but then a Spanish mapmaker miswrote the correct translation of the city "Jobe" as "Jove." The seemingly insignificant blunder later evolved into more naming issues, since other mapmakers later read the name of the city and deduced that it was supposed to be the Latin translation of "Jupiter," the Roman god of god of sky and thunder.
Jupiter is famous for its notable lighthouse, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, which has served as a landmark for explorers after 1860. The lighthouse was built on a hill, once thought to be a tribal burial mound. This was discovered not to be the case however. Although Florida has no mountains, the hill of the lighthouse today is recognized a natural parabolic sand dune. The brick Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse was painted bright red in 1910, making it an even more recognizable landmark. The lighthouse is often used as the symbol for Jupiter, Florida.
Besides its recognizable monuments, the city of Jupiter is known for its giving spirit. The people of Jupiter have always been strong contributors to the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation (FBCF). Jupiter residents donate used clothes, electronics, or old household items which the FBCF uses to contribute to their organization. Anyone can schedule a Jupiter donation pickup, and the pickup service, Pickups for Breast Cancer, will dispatch drivers to collect the donations from any pickup location if they are in bags or boxes. You don't even have to be home. You can leave your donations right outside your door, and the FBCF's pickup service, Pickups for Breast Cancer, will collect your donation. So you can check out Jupiter's most famous landmark and donate to breast cancer research at the same time!
Locals and tourists stop at the lighthouse to snap a picture of the best view in Palm Beach County. The Lighthouse also offers a free guided tour through the course of a two-mile trail taking hikers through historic points of Jupiter in the 120-acre Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area.
For art-lovers, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse is also the host of the Wild & Scenic Film Festival. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival is one of the nation's premiere environmental and adventure film festivals in North America. All the short films delve into the wonders found in nature, and implore the viewer to contribute to the environment. It is truly a fascinating and educational experience for all ages. And if you truly care about the environment, you'll love to hear. By scheduling a Jupiter donation pickup, you are giving away items that will be recycled and reused by consumers through our thrift store partners, saving more trees and ecosystems every year.
Our free Jupiter donation pickup service on behalf of the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation (FBCF) is carried out through "Pickups for Breast Cancer." If you have any unwanted décor, knick-knacks, furniture or household items, especially clothes, we'll pick it up!
Sometimes, we purchase new clothes without throwing out our old outfits, which accumulate in our valuable closet space. Conserving these items over the years can lead to wasting valuable space in our home. Although some items might have sentimental value, sometimes we have other items that hold no existing usefulness for us at all. When this happens, please contact Pickups for Breast Cancer at 1-888-492-4483. We collect all donations on behalf of the FBCF, who uses these to fund their mission of eliminating breast cancer through advocacy, research and education.
Or if you would rather search for donation pickup dates in Jupiter, Florida on your own, please visit our "schedule a pick up" page and type in your zip code. Here, you will see a screen full of dates showing when we could be able to pick up all your donations for free. There are almost no restrictions on what items you can donate, but for further assistance, please take a look at our South Florida Donation Guidelines for our donation regulations. Every contribution is used and appreciated! Thank you, Jupiter, Florida!

In the wake of the tragic deaths of over one thousand factory workers in Bangladesh, apparel companies are feeling a renewed urgency to eradicate human rights abuses from their value chains.
RSN's new report To the Spinner: Forging a Chain to Responsible Cotton Sourcing provides guidance for companies seeking to ensure their value chains are free of cotton picked with forced labor. This report provides detailed steps for brands which will allow them to move from "not knowingly sourcing" to "knowing and not sourcing" Uzbek cotton.
To the Spinner stresses not only the importance of brands forging relationships with spinning mills to determine the country of origin (COO) of the cotton found in their value chains, but also the necessity of brand commitment to establishing internal procedures and verification schemes to guarantee the elimination of cotton picked with forced or child labor.
In the fall of 2012 report co-author Valentina Gurney visited cotton spinning mills in China, Switzerland, and the United States to learn first-hand what steps responsible spinners are taking to eliminate Uzbek cotton. Those insights are included, along with a comparison of traceability tools currently available to brands.
To the Spinner follows From the Field: Travels of Uzbek Cotton Through the Value Chain, which describes the characteristics of Uzbek cotton, details the risks associated with this cotton, and outlines what brands can do to avoid it.
From yarn spinners to textile mills to sourcing agents, every supplier interviewed for this report demonstrated that it holds its customers' values in high regard. As suppliers begin to answer the brand and consumer calls for transparency, accountability, and the protection of workers, we move closer to forging a responsible cotton value chain.


This also includes haptic devices which enable the user to feel a sense of touch when they manipulate an object within a virtual environment.
Virtual reality goggles are a major part of the set up and can be acquired by gamers as well as people engaged in many forms of virtual reality research.
These goggles are discussed in more detail in the virtual reality glasses section. This section contains several articles about VR glasses for Mac, PC and PS3.
The main difference between virtual reality gear in the past and now is that back then, the trend was towards large, bulky looking gear which was uncomfortable and incomprehensible. Plus it had a futuristic appearance which may have been a turn off for the commercial sector as well as the high price tag.
But like most forms of technology, virtual reality gear has become smaller, lighter and more affordable. The bulky television sized head mounted display (HMD) has been replaced by lighter models which fit neatly over the front of the face.
These take the form of a pair of goggles or helmet with a screen in front which displays three dimensional images. Many of these contain headphones and/or speakers so that the wearer receives audio/video output as well.
Most displays are connected to cables although there are several wireless models available. But, there is a problem with time lag (latency) which refers to the period of time between the wearer's actions and the appropriate response, e.g. shift in perception.
Head mounted displays also contain a tracking device which means that the images displayed to the wearer change as he/she moves their head. This also changes their point of view.

I have tried 'npm clean cache -f' followed by 'npm verify', deleting my package-lock.json and node modules folder and running 'npm install' in the terminal. Still no luck. Any help is much appreciated.

A: Run this command:

*

*npm cache clean --force clean the npm cache

*remove node_modules directory

*I don't see body-parser in you package.json. install the package

*In inext.js when you throw an err, pass the err variable to the function

and it should work.
Your index file:
const express = require('express');
const next = require('next');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production';
const app = next({ dev });
const handle = app.getRequestHandler();

app.prepare().then(() => {
  const server = express();
  app.use(bodyParser.json());

  server.get('*', (req, res) => handle(req, res));

  server.listen(PORT, err => {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(`> Ready on   ${PORT}`);
  });

8th Street Bridge: Remember the Alamo!
Hello all. I'm sorry it's been so long since I last posted. Now that school has started I have less and less time to do things. Anyway, last weekend we went down to San Antonio to meet Erin and Amanda for the weekend. It was about a 3-hour drive and on the way we saw all kinds of emergency and evacuation vehicles headed towards New Orleans to help the residents evacuate the city. Nearly 200 charter buses, 200 school buses, 100 cargo vans and 100 ambulances passed us heading East on I-10. We were a little worried about leaving for the weekend, as they were still not exactly sure where Gustav was going to hit when we left. B ut our neighbors and our work colleagues were all fairly confident that the hurricane was going to miss us, so we decided to hit the road for San Anton! When we got there it was all ready after 5 pm. I had to work earlier in the day, so we got a late start. Our hotel was right downtown convenient to the famous Riverwalk and to the Alamo as well. Originally named the Gunter Hotel it was bought by Sheraton a few years back. Luckily it maintains all of its old world charm and still has the original switchboard, mail slots, chandeliers, crown moulding and beautiful woodwork. It was a very nice place to stay for the weekend. We were able to walk anywhere we wanted to in downtown San Antonio. After checking in we headed down to the Riverwalk to check it out. It was PACKED! Being Labor Day weekend and all, we knew it would be busy, but there was barely room to move! There are a variety of shops and restaurants on the Riverwalk, many of them local to the area or to Texas. They also offer small dinner boat and tour boat rides through the area. We settled on a Mexican restaurant for dinner, claiming to serve "authentic Mexican", which turned out to be rather disappointing. The food was sub-par at best and the service even worse. After our meal we walked around some more and passed many other Mexican restaurants that looked MUCH better than the one we had chosen to dine at. We ended up walking almost the entire Riverwalk, which is unique because it is actually below the street. We decided to head back to the hotel, as we were getting up early the next day to go tubing. It just took us awhile to find our way back to the hotel! On Sunday we were up bright at early at 8 am, to begin our tubing adventure. We have heard from most people that the "initiation" into Texas consists of tubing down the Guadalupe River for the day. You are allowed to bring alcohol, so usually a large group of people gets together and brings coolers, food, radios, you name it and floats down the river for a day. The tubing location was about 1 hour north of San Antonio, so we stopped at IHOP on our way out of town to fill up on breakfast. Once we got into the Canyon Lake area where the tubing site is, we decided to go to a local gas station for some beer. Well, it was before noon and there were people lined up with beer in their hands waiting for the clock to turn 12 so they could buy their beer! It was pretty funny actually. Erin and Jason decided on a 6-pack of tall cans, while Amanda and I (smart girls that we are!) opted for water. Once we got to our tubing company's site we put on our water shoes (so nerdy!) and with cooler in tow, went to get our rafts. It's funny, they actually rent out coolers and rafts just for coolers. Erin and Amanda were smart and brought bungee cords with them so that we could hold our rafts together. We had the option of a smaller tubing trip which would be about 1 hour, or a longer one at 4 hours. We decided on the 4-hour trip and were all really pumped to get into the water! When we got to the docking area with our tubes we had to wait in line a little bit to get in the water. There had to be ATLEAST 500 people all ready in the water with beers in hand. The river was moving rather slowly so people were really close together in a giant mob. The water was freezing, so it made it hard to get comfortable when we were in the tubes. After awhile my thighs, which were in the water, actually went numb and turned red from the cold. The river is spring fed, which keeps the temperature cool all year round. It was a beautiful sunny day though, and luckily none suffer ed sunburns. We kept reapplying sunscreen so we all stayed safe from the sun's rays! The river had some rapids and some chutes on it, which kept things interesting. We hit one set of rapids that was very strong and it actually separated my tube from everybody else's and got me caught in some rocks. I had to jimmy my way out and I went cruising down the rapids. Jason had to hold his arms out and catch me or I would've been much farther upstream than the others! After we were done rafting we headed into New Braunfels in search of some good German food. It is a town that was established by German settlers over 150 years ago. Many of the towns residents are ancestors of the original settlers and just never left. New Braunfels is home to the world famous Schlitterbahn water park, which we are looking forward to trying out one of these weekends! We found a fabulous G erman restaurant called Oma's House. The food was amazing! We all ate until we thought we might explode, and then we split dessert. :) After that we headed back into San Antonio. We decided to check out the Riverwalk again and found a Margarita Bar that looked promising. Everybody was very tired after our day in the sun, so after 1 margarita we decided to head back to the hotel to get some sleep. On Sunday we got up and had breakfast at a restaurant on the Riverwalk. The hotel concierge had promised Amanda it was very good food. It was definitely not. Again, sub-par. We definitely struck out on food down there! After eating we went to check out the Alamo. Most people we have talked to said that it wasn't anything special and there wasn't anything worthwhile to see. But it still had some original buildings and they did a great job with the grounds and gardens. There was also all kinds of history available to read and also a really cool exhibit in the Bowie knife, or Arkansas Toothpick, as some like to call it. (Jim Bowie died at the Alamo). They also had display's of Davy Crockett artifacts, including guns, diaries and clothing he had worn. The mission was beautiful and it made me sad to think of what happened there. I should also note, that this site holds great meaning to many Texans, as it is a symbol of Texas freedom and of the Republic of Texas. It helped me to understand why so many Texans call themselves Texans instead of Americans. They were afterall, their own country, even if it was for just a short time. They fought hard for their freedom and are still proud of it today. We spent a few hours at the Alamo, and then decided to head home. It was in the 90s and we were all roasting. All in all, a great weekend! We are trying to decide what our next adventure is going to be. I am thinking white water rafting, Texas style!

Q: Darknet error after 100 iterations on YOLOv4-tiny [Windows OS] Can anyone help me with Darknet? I am following a youtube tutorial but there's no error on their side. The code gives this error after 1000 iterations:

Saving weights to
mydrive/yolov4-tiny/training/yolov4-tiny-custom_last.weights Couldn't
open file: /mydrive/yolov4-tiny/training/yolov4-tiny-custom_last.weights

Since I am running locally, I can't run this command:

!ln -s
C:\Users\Pinky\Desktop\ /mydrive

Any idea on how to fix this? I am using my own dataset btw.

A: Usually it the training can be crushed after certain number of iteration due to the dataset. Check badlist file in the darknet folder and you might get a list of images which are creating the error. You need to delete those specific images with their annotation files from the image folder

Q: internet died after ubuntu 16.10 upgrade Please help me, I am tired of googling. After upgrading from 16.04.01 to 16.10, my wired internet connection just died. (It is by Ubuntu, because I've dualbooted with Windows using the same connection).
Please help me - What should I download from where? And what should I type into the commandline - I am a Windows programmer, but a Linux noob
This is 'the info' of everything I googled after seeing my internet connection die, it should contain the information needed.
Thank You very much, I am actually in the process of testing Ubuntu to forget Windows forever.

The Fox TV pilot based on Lauren Oliver's young adult novel Delirium, which was passed over by the network and never broadcast, is now returning from the grave and heading to Hulu instead.
The TV show tells of a future utopian world where the emotion of love is considered a disease and even given a name called 'deliria' and everyone gets vaccinated. The show starred Emma Roberts who plays a girl that falls in love just before she is set to get cured for the disease.
The pilot was filmed in 2013 by Fox but the network decided against picking up the series, but now the full first episode can be watched via the web on streaming service Hulu.
The return of the show to the web comes thanks to both WIGS and Hulu, who made the episode available. Hulu have announced that Delirium will be made available on June 20th, and be available for 30 days. Although currently it is just a one episode series, Hulu may decide to invest in the concept and turn it back into a full series.
You can take a peek at the trailer below, and you even have time to read the book in readiness for the pilot.
Free movies are everywhere, and you don't have to break any laws to get your hands on them, either. Hulu is one site that offers totally free media to anyone. You just navigate to hulu.com and start watching. You're not violating any copyright laws here. All content is licensed.
Other sites to look at include the Internet Movie Database, Crackle, OVGuide, Joost, and The Internet Archive.
Free videos are easy to find. The most popular site hosting free videos is, of course, YouTube. Nothing you watch here will get you into trouble later. Google takes responsibility for the content. Some copyright-protected stuff makes its way onto this site, but they are diligent and usually remove it quickly.
Vimeo is a more professional site that is home to videos in a variety of categories. Vevo is yet another video site. Unlike many sites, Vevo is strictly for music videos. Sony, Universal, EMI, CBS, and Walt Disney Records all post their media here. Want to listen to free songs? Here's how you do it legally.
Finally, you can probably find what you're looking for on Google Video or Facebook. Both house tons of media.
Want to watch movie trailers? Apple has this one nailed with iTunes. Trailer addict is another place to watch trailers of current movies. Coming Soon is a site where you get movie previews, insider information, and the latest movie gossip. FirstShowing.net, IMDB, Yahoo Movies, Game Trailers, and Turner Classic Movies are all great sites to find movie trailers.
It's hard to beat Hulu for free T.V. Cable companies hate this, but networks love it. Fox hosts its own shows on its website, as does NBC. You can also get free apps for Android and iOS that allow you to watch the major channels, and even some cable offerings like SyFy and the History channel on your mobile device. Joost has a nice variety of programs organized by channel, what's popular, and recent uploads. YouTube, CurrentTV, LinkTV and Clicker are all sites that allow you to watch free T.V. shows legally.
Looking for free music? Del.icio.us system:filetype:mp3 is a neat trick to find all the mp3 files tagged at del.icio.us. Pandora is probably the most famous site dedicated to free music, but iTunes radio is also in the same space. Yeah, you have to listen to commercials now and then, but the music is free and you can customize channels to your personal preferences. NPR in Concert allows you to listen to full concerts by various artists. If you like Jazz, JazzPromo.com houses hundreds of unique independent jazz musicians.
You can download free music, too. If you own an Android or iOS device, look for the free song of the day/month that they offer in their app stores. Amazon and Google, as well as iTunes, all provide free music to promote new artists and albums, so check back frequently, or sign up to receive notifications of promotions they offer to users.
A simple browser search can reap many forms of interesting multimedia, but you can take that a step further. Video search engines, like Google Video make it easy to find any video, song, book or other multimedia on the web. Google is the king of search; however, there are many other ways to discover media, like Yahoo! and Bing, for example.
Torrent search engines help you find torrent files for download. If you're a Vuze Bittorrent Client or something similar, just make sure you keep it legal – no downloading that new song you just heard on the radio unless you know all rightsholders have authorized the free download. The same applies to new releases in your local theater. Make certain to read all the TOS of a file sharing website, and check for copyrighted materials. Be smart and comply with the law, so you don't end up paying a huge fine or worse yet, spending time in jail. It's just not worth it.
Readprint.com, Maybooks.net, and The Literature Network are all great sites to find free books online, all free and legal. Authorama.com also features a nice selection of books. If you own a Kindle or other reading device, you can borrow free books to read via their services or have them delivered through your local library system. Most libraries offer e-books now and the list of offerings keeps growing.
The availability of multimedia online is large now, but it will continue to change and grow alongside technology; however, the need to comply with copyright laws will never change, so be sure to check before you download anything, anywhere, so you won't end up in hot water someday.

Lovefilm have grabbed the rights to some classic kids TV shows that include Pingu, Thomas & Friends, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Where's Wally and Chuggington.
It's a well used ploy of streaming subscription sites to appeal to the whole family, and keeping the kids quiet tends to make mum and dad break out the credit card.
Lovefilm who are owned by online retail giant Amazon, inked deals with HIT Entertainment, Ludorum, and DreamWorks Classics, and the deal adds to the thousands of hours of kids content that Lovefilm already have in the bag.
The content deal includes retained rights to other classics such as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Rupert Bear, Noddy, Postman Pat and Casper the Friendly Ghost.
The only problem is that some of this content is so old it may well appeal more to nostalgic parents remembering their own childhood, rather than the children of today who's tastes may have moved on.
The second season of the Netflix original drama, Lilyhammer is coming to a screen near you on December 13, and wherever you are in the world, you can all binge out on the 8 episode run at the same time.
As is the norm with Netflix these days, the whole second season of eight episodes can be streamed on launch day wherever Netflix operates. That currently means the US, Latin America, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Denmark and the Netherlands will all be watching on launch day.
The show stars Steven Van Zandt as reformed mobster Frank "The Fixer" Tagliano, relocating to Lillehammer in Norway as part of the witness protection program.
The original show debuted on Netflix early 2012 and was the first of Netflix's forays into original programming. Since then they have gone from strength to strength including the emmy award winning House of Cards.
The second season of Lilyhammer sees Frank Tagliano still in Norway running a nightclub. Unfortunately his former (and very angry) mob associates discover that he is still alive and go after him.
American TV network, NBC have released a new Android app offering full TV shows on a catch-up basis for free.The app lets viewers with Android smartphones and tablets stream full episodes of current shows like Ironside and Revolution just after airing.
Most shows have several episodes available from the current season for 30 days and the app also offers a NBC TV guide to help you plan your viewing.
Currently viewers can watch around 20 shows on the NBC app, with each having available the last 4-5 episodes. The user interface is a slick tile based affair designed for touch screen.
Android users can already access NBC streaming using the Hulu Plus app, but that costs money on portable devices, so this app is a welcome addition to any mobile TV lovers arsenal.
Some content also comes with a closed captioning feature available by tapping the CC button whilst the show streams. The service is ad supported and as with most android apps, it's a bit hit and miss if it will work on your device.
The app is available right now from the Google Play Store, and it's free. So what are you waiting for?


We are located in the middle of Bolton Abbey village, which is half a mile north of the junction of the A59 and the B6160.

One of the most popular applications of a Flicx Pitch is to convert an existing sports field into a cricket venue. 2G and 3G artificial pitches including astroturfs, rubbbercrumbs and waterbased synthetics can all be transformed into cricket pitches in hardly any time, just by rolling out a Flicx Pitch. No prior preparation will be needed and there will be no damage to the surface underneath. The new 2G Flicx Pitch range from Flicx UK is a softer product and is therefore easier to roll out whilst still producing a great consistent bounce enabling you to play cricket all year round. Whether it be an indoor cricket league or an outdoor match then the Flicx Pitch is a great cost effective solution to improving the quantity and quality of your training.
Flicx UK and the Cricketer Magazine would like to congratulate Littletown CC who have been announced as the winners of our "Pitch for a Pitch" competition and will receive a brand new 2G Flicx Pitch to further aid the redevelopment of the club which is based in County Durham.

Corporate Transparency Act Introduced, Small Business Group Fires Back
A newly proposed bill could but threaten small business owners with jail time.
In an effort to crack down on criminals exploiting small businesses for the use of money laundering and tax evasion purposes, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) introduced The Corporate Transparency Act of 2019. But the bill is already getting push back from The National Federation of Independent Businesses.
The bill requires an entity that forms a corporation or limited liability company to disclose information about its beneficial owners. But NFIB warns the paperwork required of small businesses if the bill passes could bury owners.
Failure to comply with the bill if it passes could result in a civil penalty and criminal penalties—a fine, a prison term for up to three years, or both.
"The end result is it's going to require every business owner with fewer than 20 employees to file yearly paperwork. If they don't file that paperwork, they're going to be assessed with fines up to $10,000 dollars and even up to three years in jail," warns Brad Close, Senior Vice President for Public Policy at NFIB.
Which threatens resource-strapped small businesses further.
Close says, "We are very concerned about this. It's going to have a huge financial burden on small businesses, we estimate about $600 million a year, $5.7 billion over ten years in lost productivity for small business owners."
"Small business owners cannot afford the teams of lawyers, accountants, and compliance experts that large businesses and financial institutions can afford," NFIB said in a statement. "This means that gathering personally identifiable small business ownership information and handling compliance issues and reporting requirements falls on the small business owner. For small business owners, time spent periodically gathering and reporting information is valuable time they could be spending on operating and growing their businesses."
The bill was introduced this year in May and has passed out of committee.


Crystal Falls is the last untouched landscape of true Hill Country living in Austin's booming northwest corridor. A community where the stories of hard scrabbled cattlemen, homesteaders and Indians thrive and seep into every corner.

This is a community that truly embraces the land and its history.
