While the gamefish season has ended for inland waters, trout action in northeastern Minnesota"s inland lakes remains excellent. And don"t forget that March is typically the best month of the winter season for large sunfish, slab crappies, and jumbo perch!
Anglers are encouraged to bring along a friend and some long rope. If venturing out alone, wear a life jacket and let someone know where you are going. No ice is every considered fully safe – please check with local bait shops and resorts for the most current ice conditions before venturing out. The Department of Natural Resources states that 4 inches of new, clear ice is the minimum thickness recommended for travel by foot. Ice safety guidelines also recommend a minimum of 5 inches of new, clear ice for snowmobiles and ATV"s, and 8-12 inches of new, clear ice for cars and small trucks. And please remember that ice is never considered totally safe – contact a local bait shop, resort or visitor"s bureau for the most current ice conditions before traveling.
Please check out the Minnesota DNR Ice Safety page for helpful, and potentially life-saving, ice safety tips.
Fishing opener dates for the 2011/2012 fishing season for most inland waters in Minnesota are as follows: walleye, sauger, northern pike and lake trout, May 14; largemouth and smallmouth bass, May 28; and for muskie, June 4. The fishing season for crappies, sunnies, perch and catfish is continuous.

The Human Condition (Deluxe)
Artist: Black Stone Cherry Format: CDSKU: M76265N/ABarcode: 810020502497N/A Release Date: 2020-10-30
KENTUCKY ROCKERS BLACK STONE CHERRY'S NEW ALBUM THE HUMAN CONDITION IS OUT NOW!
The Limited Deluxe CD comes with 2 coasters, 4 postcards, a guitarpickcard, all housed in an oversized box.
As the world plummeted into the COVID-19 pandemic, the four members of Black Stone Cherry were nestled deep in the woods of Kentucky, scrambling to complete their 7th album. There, they could feel the disease closing in as they watched the news daily, and it became apparent the album they were finishing featured lyrics that were eerily prescient. The resulting 13-track record is broadly emotive, and anthemic. It was finished just before the global lockdown was imposed, and it's aptly titled, The Human Condition.
The Human Condition was self-produced and tracked in bassist Jon Lawhon's recording facility, Monocle Studios, in March 2020. The guys went in with 4 songs, wrote new songs, and recorded some beloved unreleased favorites. For the first time, the band opted to not record basics live and instead meticulously multitracked. Each member endured grueling sessions to ensure the collective studio mindset of achieving "epic performances." The results are stunning—the grooves feel organic, the riffs are mountainous, the performances are urgent, and the hooks shine through gloriously.

One of the most common questions I see over at the Restored316designs.com help desk is about resizing the header or logo area.
Stuck wondering how to resize the header logo in a Restored316 WordPress theme?
I will demonstrate the process in a 7.5 min video so you can work along with me if you would like. I will also add written instructions below the video.
Before I begin, I would like to mention a bit about the retina quality displays. Retina is proprietary to Apple and really is just referring to the pixel density of the display. Here is what Apple says about the retina display, "Mac computers with a Retina display have a pixel density that is so high, your eyes can't discern individual pixels at a normal viewing distance. The Retina display packs four times the pixels of the standard . . .".
So because we want our header or logo to look great on any device or display it's viewed on, the newest Restored316 themes are coded to accommodate the higher density of pixels.
Determine the size you would like your logo to be. For example, 600 x 300.
Create your logo at double that size. So you would create your logo file at 1200 x 600.
Navigate to Appearance > editor and open your functions file. You will locate the code that begins with: add support for custom header. This is where you will add the dimensions for your new logo at twice the size you would like it to actually be displayed at. In our example, 1200 x 600. Then click update to save your changes.
Now you will navigate to the style.css file. You can call a search bar by using your keyboard, command F on a Mac and control F on a PC. Search for the title area. We are going to adjust the code that has the old dimensions and add in our new final logo dimensions.
We will change the bolded areas to the dimensions of how we would like our new logo to actually display. Update to save your changes.
is to navigate to Appearance > Header where we will upload our new logo at twice the size we actually want it to display at.


Mike Daisey, the famous-turned-infamous creator and star of The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, has returned to Woolly Mammoth with his controversial production. The show – a monologue about all things Apple, including geekery, gadgets, and Chinese factories – inspired a national inquiry into Apple's manufacturing process. It also caused a public outcry as his "work of nonfiction" was later revealed to be partly fiction.
I didn't want to bore you with the ugly details, because you've heard them already from former staffers at Woolly Mammoth, from NPR's This American Life (TAL), and from Daisey himself.
Instead, I headed over to Woolly Mammoth last week to see the show for a second time. Then I spoke with Mr. Daisey about coming back to our fair city and what he thinks of our very favorite thing: us.

Tax credits, penalizing big polluters, key to Conservative climate plan
Canada's commitment is to cut emissions to 70 per cent of what they were in 2005 before 2030
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer says his climate plan will be "Canada's best chance" to hit its targets under the Paris climate-change agreement and that it can happen without a carbon tax.
Scheer outlined his climate policy in the backyard of a private home in rural Chelsea, Que., Wednesday evening, not far from where flooding linked to climate change hit for the second time in three years this spring. Flies and mosquitoes swarmed and a handful of protesters gathered on the gravel road in front of the property.
"Conservatives fundamentally believe that you cannot tax your way to a cleaner environment," Scheer said. "Instead, the answer lies in technology."
The environment, and climate change in particular, are garnering the most attention ever heading into a federal campaign as Canadians in all parts of the country are dealing with more frequent forest fires, droughts, floods and storms.
WATCH: We'll work with cities, even when provinces won't work with Ottawa, Trudeau says
The plan does not specify how much any of its 55 elements would cut emissions and suggests Canada's path to meeting the targets would include using Canadian products to reduce emissions in other countries.
"Greenhouse-gas emissions do not recognize borders," Scheer said. "Nor are the impacts of climate change proportional to any one country's emissions. Whether emissions are reduced in Canada or in China, the scientific impact on global climate change is the exact same."
His platform, dubbed A Real Plan to Protect Our Environment, looks at introducing a capital cost allowance for industries that show they are reducing emissions in other countries. He specifically mentions using Canadian liquefied natural gas to replace coal as a source of electricity and exporting more Canadian aluminum, which he says is made with fewer emissions than aluminum in other countries.
Canada's commitment under the Paris climate-change agreement is to cut emissions to 70 per cent of what they were in 2005 before 2030. Canada needs to get to 513 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year to hit that target. In 2017, the most recent year for which statistics have been compiled, Canada's emissions were 716 million tonnes.
There is an allowance in the Paris accord for "co-operative mechanisms," which allow for reductions in one country to be counted towards the targets of another country as long as both countries agree. The rules for that allowance have not yet been set and the intention was for it to be used for countries to strengthen their targets beyond the original Paris commitments.
The targets in the Paris accord are not legally binding, however, so there is no monetary penalty if Canada misses them. In a question-and-answer session after the speech, Scheer refused to be drawn on how much his plan could be expected to reduce Canada's emissions.
Canada's existing climate plan under the Liberal government leaves the country about 80 million tonnes shy of its Paris targets in 2030. The national price on carbon, set at $20 a tonne this year, rising to $50 a tonne by 2022, will reduce emissions between 50 million and 60 million tonnes a year, an Environment Canada analysis says.
I think about the Canada I want to build, and it's one where we fight climate change while helping Canadians get ahead.
That's why today I announced my plan, A Real Plan to Protect Our Environment, that will fight climate change and protect the environment, without a carbon tax. pic.twitter.com/PWZlCE6MRf
— Andrew Scheer (@AndrewScheer) June 20, 2019
Scheer's plan is to make scrapping that carbon tax one of his first actions as prime minister.
He also intends to replace the Liberals' system for applying the carbon tax to major industrial emitters with one that requires them to invest in clean technology for their own companies.
Scheer promises to give companies a tax break on income earned from developing and patenting green technology in Canada. Homeowners will get a tax credit worth as much as $2,850 for making energy-efficiency upgrades to their homes, such as installing solar panels or putting in better-insulated windows.
He also intends to create a green-technology fund with $250 million in federal money to draw private investments in green technology that could repay the federal contributions when the technology is sold.
Liberal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna took to a microphone on Parliament Hill to scorn the Tory plan shortly after Scheer finished talking.
"I guess we now know why Andrew Scheer waited until the dying hours of this Parliament to shovel out his ideas to tackle climate change," she said. "It's because he has a fake plan. No numbers, no serious measures and no commitment to move the needle on climate action. He says we can save the planet but we don't have to make any changes. Pollution can be free, we can burn coal, develop oil forever, build as many pipelines as oil lobbyists want. Just invent some technologies and sell them to other countries — that'll do it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. The Paris agreement requires every country to do their part … You can't export your way out of this problem."
The New Democrats' Peter Julian called the Tory plan "a collection of boutique tax credits and a rebranding exercise … But I would say to the Conservatives, 'Nice pictures, though.' Because that's the only benefit I see from the plan they presented today."
Environment groups likewise panned the Scheer plan, saying it is similar to requests from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, which released a climate plan a few weeks ago.
"This is a plan only an oil lobbyist could love," said Keith Stewart, a senior energy strategist at Greenpeace Canada.
Catherine Abreu, executive director of the Climate Action Network Canada, said the Scheer strategy is a research-and-development plan, not a climate-action policy.
"This might be a plan to cut other things but it is not a plan to cut emissions," said Abreu. "Is Canada somehow going to save the world by increasing our own emissions?"

Turnover – Definition
Definition of turnover (accounting): Income. Turnover is used interchangeably with revenue and gross income in the context of financial reporting.
What is turnover?
Turnover is an accounting term used most commonly in the UK and refers to the total income of a business. You won't necessarily see financial accounting books use the term 'turnover', as 'revenue' is a more internationally recognised term.
However, in a set of UK company accounts, you may see the total income referred to as 'turnover', although this figure goes by several other names, including the revenue (which is preferred by IFRS GAAP) and gross income.
A high-level layout of the income statement (on which the turnover figure features) is as follows:
What does turnover not include?
Turnover sometimes excludes some 'other income' which is seen as ancillairy to the main trading activity of a business.
For example, a business which has invested in property or land around its factory site may receive some rental income from other tenants who presently occupy buildings which the business doesn't yet have a use for.
This property income will be trivial in the context of total turnover. It may therefore be reported as 'other operating income' below the gross profit line.
This way, the profits from this activity does not appear to enlarge the gross margin of the products the company sells.
Other examples of other income which isn't usually reported within turnover:
Interest received on bank deposits
Interest received or accrued on loan notes receivable or bonds
Royalty income from intellectual property, if this isn't a core business activity
The definition of turnover is an accounting concept
How is the word turnover used in a sentence?
"This journal entry increased total turnover in the general ledger."
What else you should know about turnover?
Turnover is also a word linked to several accounting ratios, such as:
Inventory or stock turnover
These ratios use the word turnover more literally. These ratios calculate how frequently a business churns through its inventory or staff. I.e. how quickly does it run through or turn over that list of resources.

"eToro is our favourite of the new platforms. With a functional app and a low cost structure, it's a compelling platform."
Capital is at risk.
How does the definition of turnover relate to investing?
Turnover is one of the headline Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which you will read about in financial news and in company financial statements.
Income and profit trends are a key metric for growth investors, as they seek to buy shares in companies which have a strong track record of delivering double-digit % turnover increases.
Further reading, through investing books or courses, will teach you many more ratios and investing strategies which use the turnover figure to help investors make decisions.

Ghostly Fishes of the Abyss
Bruce Mundy - NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center
This pale, ghost-like spiny eel (Halosaurus species) was photographed at Fina Nagu Caldera C south of Guam (12.8°N, 143.785°E) between 1.6 and 1.7 miles (2,537 and 2,689 meters) down in the ocean. Its body lacks pigment, except for silvery cells, which appear shiny white in the lights of the ROV. The eyes are black and the internal areas of the head and gill cavity have darker pigment, making those areas light gray externally.

A pale wisp appears in the distance as the camera of the Deep Discoverer remotely operated vehicle (ROV) films the ocean floor of the Mariana Islands over a mile and a half deep. The ROV moves closer - the wisp undulates slowly. The shape of an eel or eel-like fish becomes visible and more detail is seen: an eye; a translucent head; and a diaphanous, barely visible, long fin along the lower edge of the pale, shimmering body. It is like a ghost of a fish.
In shallow waters of tropical Pacific islands, fishes that live in the open and are active during the day are brightly colored with vivid patterns that are unique to each species. In contrast, the fishes seen in Okeanos Explorer dives more than a mile deep are almost uniformly brown or gray. In even deeper areas, many are white because pigment cells are absent from the skin, but have dark eyes and gray areas at the head and gill cavities.
Why do we see this change in color with depth?
Many fishes living at sunlit coral reefs have distinctive patterns of bright colors, like this orange-fin anemonefish (Amphiprion chrysopterus) in shallow water at Saipan in the Mariana Islands.

The answer involves light in the sea. The clear waters of tropical islands allow sunlight to penetrate deeper than the murkier, more productive waters of cooler areas. Coral reefs are famous for their brightly colored fishes.
Like deep-sea fishes, shallow-water fishes that live in murkier waters tend to be less colorful. Scientists have several explanations for this. The most obvious is that the bright, strong color patterns let the fish recognize others of their own species quickly and easily among the numerous fishes of the many species that live on reefs. In addition, males, females, and juveniles in some species have different color patterns that assist with mate recognition for spawning. And, strangely, bold patterns can be a kind of camouflage when fish move quickly to avoid predators. There are other explanations for the bright colors of shallow-water fishes, but all rely on the bright sunlight that makes them visible.
Sunlight is absorbed by water so the environment gets darker and different colors are progressively removed as depth increases. The colors are lost in order of their wavelengths. Red light, with the longest wavelength, is lost first, then yellow and green. Blue light, with the shortest wavelength, is absorbed last, and can be seen at low light levels surprisingly deep in clear tropical waters.
The oblique-banded snapper or gindai (Pristipomoides zonatus) lives in the twilight, or mesophotic, zone where only dim blue light penetrates. The upper picture was taken with the lights of a submersible illuminating the fish at 935 feet (285 meters) during an Okeanos Explorer dive at Farallon de Medilla, Mariana Islands; bright gold bars are seen on the body. The lower photograph was taken at St. Rogatien Bank of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument at 625 feet (190 meters) with the lights of the submersible turned off; the color pattern is still easily seen, but the gold bars appear black at ambient light levels. Top image courtesy of NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, 2016 Deepwater Exploration of the Marianas. Bottom image courtesy of Bruce C. Mundy, NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. Download larger version (jpg, 4.4 MB).
Many fishes in the twilight, or mesophotic, zone down to 1,600 feet (500 meters), where dim blue light persists, also have bright colors. Although the colors themselves are not visible in the dim light the patterns are visible, enabling species recognition, social interactions, mating, and the other functions of bright coloration in shallow waters.
Those color patterns no longer appear in fishes living below the depths where blue light is filtered out by the water. Below about half a mile (1,000 meters), there is not enough light for even the sensitive eyes of fishes to see full images, although many deep-water fishes can still detect bioluminescence, light produced by other animals for feeding or avoiding predators.
There is a transition in characteristic fish coloration going deeper from silvery fishes in the shallows to brown, black, or red fishes below the twilight zone (red appears black in dim light), and finally to pale brown or gray fishes below 2.5 miles (4,000 meters).
This unpatterned, brown cusk eel (probably an undescribed species) has color typical of many fishes living near the bottom between 0.5 and 3.6 miles (1,000 and 6,000 meters) down in the ocean. This fish was seen at Fina Nagu Caldera C, south of Guam at 12.8° North, 143.78° East, at 2 miles (3,200 meters) below the sea surface. The eye is large and can detect dim light produced by other animals, but it may not be able to see full images. Image courtesy of NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, 2016 Deepwater Exploration of the Marianas. Download larger version (jpg, 333 KB).
In the abyss, at 2.5 to 3.6 miles (4,000 – 6,000 meters) deep, and particularly in the hadal zone of the deep-sea trenches at extreme depths of more than 3.6 miles (6,000 meters), pale white or colorless fishes become the norm. At the greatest depths where fish live, most species are pale white.
The initial question has not been answered – why are the deepest-living fishes pale?
Certainly, the absence of sunlight has much to do with it. The functions of bright color patterns that work for shallow-water and twilight zone fishes don't operate in the abyss and deeper. There is no need for the patterns.
This pale white cusk eel (Leucicorus atlanticus) was photographed at about 3.1 miles (5,000 meters) depth at Sirena Canyon, on the edge of the Mariana Trench. The head and body have internal pigment and the eyes are black, but pigment is otherwise absent. Dark pigment around the gill cavities and abdomens of deep-sea fish may mask light that is produced by recently eaten prey. The dark pigment in the eyes is necessary for vision. This species of fish lacks a lens in the eye, and thus cannot see images, but the large eyes are capable of detecting flashes of light produced by other animals. Image courtesy of NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, 2016 Deepwater Exploration of the Marianas. Download larger version (jpg, 1.3 MB).
Most deep-sea species evolved in lineages with drab, uniformly colored shallow-water relatives that are active at night; have other cryptic habits; or live in murky, cold-water areas. The drab colors and lack of distinctive patterns of many deep-water fish may be hold overs in their evolution from similarly drab shallow-dwelling ancestors.
Two other evolutionary explanations have been proposed for the very pale pigment in the deepest-living fishes. One, accepted through most of the 20th century, is that it takes too much valuable energy to develop pigment patterns in the deep sea where food is scarce. There has been natural selection for the loss of pigment. The other is that loss or retention of pigment doesn't matter. Although white fishes in shallow water are highly visible targets for predators, there is no such natural selection that eliminates pale animals in very deep water. Deep-sea animals that have mutations preventing the development of pigment will survive and unpigmented species can evolve.
However, these remain suggestions. We know little about the vision of the deepest-living fishes that would influence the evolution of their color. The ghostly appearance of fishes in the abyss is another deep-sea puzzle in need of more exploration.

Posted on January 8, 2017 by John Hinderaker in CIA, Cyber Warfare, Intelligence, Obama administration, Russia, Vladimir Putin
The Case For Russian Hacking
I wrote here, here and here about the Obama administration's two reports that purport to show that the DNC's email system was penetrated by Russian intelligence. (For reasons about which we can only speculate, they don't talk about the intrusion into the email account of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta.) I concluded that those reports completely failed to make the case that the Russians were behind the DNC hack.
The administration's reports are so lacking in technical information that I think my assessment is non-controversial. Moreover, the fact that the Washington Post was briefed on last week's report by the CIA, FBI and NSA before President-Elect Donald Trump demonstrates that the report's purpose was wholly political. It was just one more effort by President Obama and his minions to undermine the Trump administration before it gets off the ground.
That doesn't answer the question, of course, of who did penetrate Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's and John Podesta's accounts. While the administration's reports are useless, there is technical support for the claim that Russians believed to be associated with that country's intelligence apparatus were involved. As I understand it, no one can say this definitively, but some experts say that the footprints left by the party or parties who accessed the accounts through a crude spearfishing strategy reflected, in a number of ways, the M.O. of a couple of known Russian hacking groups.
Perhaps the most significant such assessment comes from the company that was hired by the DNC to investigate that intrusion, CrowdStrike:
CrowdStrike Services Inc., our Incident Response group, was called by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the formal governing body for the US Democratic Party, to respond to a suspected breach. We deployed our IR team and technology and immediately identified two sophisticated adversaries on the network – COZY BEAR and FANCY BEAR. We've had lots of experience with both of these actors attempting to target our customers in the past and know them well.
CrowdStrike's post goes on to supply quite a bit of technical detail, but it never actually says what features of the attack allowed them to "immediately identify" COZY BEAR and FANCY BEAR. COZY BEAR and FANCY BEAR are also known in the business as APT 29 and APT 28, respectively. CrowdStrike adds this interesting note:
COZY BEAR (also referred to in some industry reports as CozyDuke or APT 29) is the adversary group that last year successfully infiltrated the unclassified networks of the White House, State Department, and US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
They are wrong about the year–the intrusion that shut down the White House and State Department computer systems occurred in the fall of 2014–but it is interesting to see that connection drawn. The Obama administration said, once the midterm election was safely over, that the Russian government had been behind the White House and State Department hacks–intrusions far more significant than the Wasserman-Schultz and Podesta accounts.
Other experts agree that the DNC and Podesta hacks were most likely perpetrated by the Russians. A group called Secure Works writes:
The Hillary Clinton email leak was the center of the latest scandal in the news caused by Threat Group-4127[1] (TG-4127). SecureWorks® Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU) researchers track the activities of Threat Group-4127, which targets governments, military, and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Components of TG-4127 operations have been reported under the names APT28, Sofacy, Sednit, and Pawn Storm. CTU™ researchers assess with moderate confidence that the group is operating from the Russian Federation and is gathering intelligence on behalf of the Russian government.
Here, too, there is much technical detail at the link. You can read it for yourself and draw what conclusions you will.
Whether Putin's government was responsible for the Wasserman Schultz and Podesta penetrations is not critical, given that at worst, the exposure of those emails merely provided voters with accurate information and, in any event, had little impact on the presidential campaign. At least three far more important points have emerged from this controversy:
1) The FBI, CIA and NSA are now on record for the fact that the Soviet and Russian governments have carried out propaganda and false front campaigns for decades, trying to influence American politics. The nuclear freeze movement of the 1980s, in which Barack Obama participated, is a great example of a Soviet front operation. This is something conservatives have been saying for a long time, which led me to ask the FBI, CIA and NSA: Where were you when we needed you?
2) The Russians and Chinese have carried out relentless cyber warfare against the United States for years, illegally accessing computerized information, including but not limited to emails, from the White House, the State Department, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many corporations and other entities. The Obama administration has been typically supine, failing to respond to these attacks on the U.S. Only when he thought political hay could be made did Obama belatedly swing into action.
Well, that's an overstatement–Obama hasn't actually done anything, beyond trying to undermine his successor. But Donald Trump has promised to give cyber warfare a high priority during the early days of his administration. Let's hope he does so.
3) This controversy highlights Hillary Clinton's extreme negligence in circumventing the State Department's security arrangements, flawed as those arrangements might have been. It is impossible to understand how anyone with even the most primitive understanding of internet security could think it makes sense to set up a completely unsecured server in her home, and use it to transact State Department business. Thank goodness Hillary Clinton will never again hold high office!
I can't GAO for that


When I first layered this chambray shirt, I contrasted the cool blue hue with warm tones like tan and browns for Fall. Now, with weather dropping down to almost 32 degrees at night (cold for CA standards!), I paired the chambray with colors that evoked a mood to match the colder temperatures.
It's a race to find the lost King of Candy Land! Draw a card, jump to that color, draw another, must get to the end first! A simple game to adults but as a kid, the anticipation of drawing the next card and being one step closer to the king was always exciting and could provide hours of entertainment. This reminiscent moment was brought to me by this unique candy printed blazer.
Here's the polished, laid-back look I mentioned last weekend when I wore a cotton blazer. Although this blazer is velvet, the same look is acquired with blazers in any darker colors. The strong shape of a classic blazer really defines the outfit.
Blogging has really allowed me to rediscover items in my closet and wear them differently than how I would have worn them when I first got them. It has allowed me to be more experimental in my combinations, opened my mind to items I wouldn't have considered, and like my cousin said "not be afraid of trying something out of the norm." I got this sweater five years ago but five years ago, I wouldn't have paired it with red pants (partly because I didn't have a pair).
Happy Sunday! Is everyone enjoying their much deserved weekend? I sure am! A quick entry before I head to Boiling Crab with Shane and his mom.
This top gives a whole new meaning to "leopard spots" because instead of just spots of a leopard as a print, this has whole leopards all over the top! I wanted to break out this quirky top for the winter (wore it tons in the summer with shorts and skirts) and thought it would be fun to pair it with colored denim that matched the the leopards.
CATWOMAN / Leather (pants), open knit, and silk... oh my!
The inspiration behind this outfit is none other than Catwoman; more specifically the 1960's Catwoman portrayed by Julie Newmar on the TV series and Lee Meriwether in the movie. What stood out most to me about Catwoman's costume during that era is that she didn't just don an all-black ensemble but she also accessorized with a gold necklace and belt, which our modern day Catwoman doesn't have. To be fair, Catwoman was also accessorized in the 1950s but she did that with a purple and green getup (an inspiration for another outfit possibly?).
After a week of work (ok, maybe not last week) and dressing pretty casual (the joys of working in a lab where no one would bat an eye if someone showed up in sweats), I tend to dress up a bit more on the weekends. This gives me the chance to put some items into rotation and explore the versatility of other pieces.
One of the great things about documenting my outfits is finding out what works and what doesn't work on me and my body shape. Sometimes my mirror plays tricks on me and what may look okay in my room is disastrous in person. My head does the same thing when I put together outfits up there.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! I hope everyone has a wonderful 2013 full of love, happiness, joyous events, and unforgettable memories. We have an entire year ahead of us and I cannot wait to make the most of it. I wish the same for all of you.
I always like to start the new year wearing what I am most comfortable wearing - jeans. There was a period where I was obsessed with jeans and purchased one too many pairs and quite honestly, how many pairs of jeans does one really need? Now I have a shelf of denim neatly folded but never worn. One of my resolutions for 2013 is to clear out the denim I don't wear anymore so I can make room for other items.

Q: if the description of mark involves font, the words printed in a different font aren't trademarked correct?
Linda Liang answered on Sep 8, 2021
You still have the trademark right because, if others use different font but the same words, on a similar product or service, consumers may be led to think that the product or service is from you, hence it will be trademark infringement.

Takami Melon
Takami melons are a relatively small to medium-sized variety that has a uniform, oval to elliptic shape. The hard rind has a variegated base of dark green and yellow and is covered in a rough, slightly raised, light brown netting. Underneath the rind, the flesh is dense, thick, smooth, and pale green to white, encasing a central cavity filled with many tan, flat seeds. Takami melons are highly fragrant with a light, floral aroma and have a crisp and juicy consistency with a mild, sweet flavor.
Takami melons are available in the spring through early summer in Japan.
Takami melons, botanically a member of the Cucumis genus, are carefully cultivated fruits on sprawling vines and are members of the Cucurbitaceae family. Considered a specialty variety in Japan, Takami melons are hand-grown in highly controlled conditions for optimum flavor and have a high sugar content, averaging sixteen Brix on the Brix Scale, which is measurement used in the culinary industry. Consumers favor Takami melons for their sweet flavor and firm flesh, which allows the melon to be stored for an extended period without spoiling. These melons are also a popular gift to exchange with family, friends, and coworkers in Japan.
Takami melons are a good source of vitamins A, C, E, and K and contain some iron and calcium. The melons also contain antioxidants which help protect overall health, and the juicy nature of the flesh is believed to having a cooling effect on the body, soothing inflammation and digestive issues.
Takami melons are best suited for fresh eating as their firm texture, and delicate, sweet flavor are showcased when consumed raw. They are most commonly sliced and consumed as a snack, sliced in half and served as an edible breakfast bowl, utilized as a dessert, or sliced and tossed into fruit salads and green salads. Takami melons can also be displayed on appetizer platters with other fruits, cheeses, and chocolates, blended into smoothies, or drizzled in chocolate and consumed as a sweet treat. Takami melons pair well with herbs such as mint, cilantro, and parsley, lemongrass, chile pepper, ginger, and fruits such as pineapple, kiwi, apples, strawberries, and cucumbers. The melon will keep up to one week when stored at room temperature and up to two weeks when stored in the refrigerator. When sliced, the melon pieces should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep for two days.
Takami melons are grown in Iioka, Japan, which was also the first city to produce the variety and is known for its ideal climate for growing melons. Iioka has developed a reputation for high-quality fruits as the farmers undergo extensive cultivation practices to create a uniform, aesthetically pleasing melons with rich flavors. Takami melons are marketed in Japan with the phrase, "Noble taste, Iioka Takami Melon," and are considered a luxury fruit in the commercial marketplace.
Takami melons are native to Japan where they were created in 1990 at the Japan Horticultural Production and Research Institute. A cross between multiple hybrid melons, Takami melons are found at specialty grocers in Japan and may also be found at select retailers in other parts of Asia.
People have shared Takami Melon using the Specialty Produce app for iPhone and Android.

Have you seen people talking about or promoting an 'online summit' and wondered what it was? Louise Brogan from Social Bee NI explains how they work and why you should attend one.
An online summit, or virtual summit, is like a conference you can attend from the comfort of your own home. A summit usually takes place over at least three days with each day bringing new speakers and guest experts to the audience.
As with any conference you may be interested in, online summits usually have a theme and are designed for a particular audience. Some summits are run by large corporations and some are sponsored by software companies.
For example, a summit on how to create an online course could feature 15-20 experts who are able to share their knowledge on how they created online courses within their business – this type of summit may be sponsored by or even arranged by one of the course creation software companies such as Teachable.
How do online summits work?
Summits can be set up in different ways. I prefer to run a summit where all of the training is pre-recorded and scheduled to be released each day. Other summits can be based around live interviews – with Digital Olympus summit, each speaker is given a timeslot to log on and wait for the host to 'switch' over to start their presentation.
With a pre-recorded summit, the viewer logs on each day, and will see the training or talks available for the day. The next day, a new set of talks or training videos will appear.
Most online summits will give you access for free to the talks for 24 hours. Some summits then create an all-access pass for sale, which the viewer can buy and have access to the whole summit for as long as they want. Other summits may use the content as a lead magnet to their ideal client and access remains open and free forever.
How do you attend an online summit?
Usually the host of the summit will set up a sign up page and start to advertise the summit to their ideal client. If the summit looks interesting to you, you put your name and email address down in order to 'attend'. The host then sends you a reminder when the summit is about to start, with a link to allow you to access the training.
What happens during a summit?
Day 1 – the first set of speakers talks are released for 24 hours.
Day 2 – the next set of speakers talks are released for 24 hours.
Day 3 – the final set of speakers talks are released for 24 hours.
So by Day 4 you will may still be catching up on your final Day 3 talks!
Each day, the host will send you an email to remind you of the day's talks and why you should watch them.
How can you find time to attend an online summit?
There are few of us who can afford to take three days out of our working week to watch experts speak online. However, through an online summit, you get access to training from some of the world's experts on a topic and it would be a great idea to try and plan ahead, so you can learn from the ones you most want to see. Especially while it is free!
By watching the summit online in your own home, you can also have it playing on your laptop or phone while you get on with some of your more mundane tasks in your business. Although I have been to some in-person conferences where some delegates sit and work through on their laptops as well!
What are the benefits of attending an online summit?
Usually the host has taken great care to find really good quality speakers for their summit. In the Social Bee Online Summit, I invited speakers who I have seen performing on stages around the world including Kate Erickson of EOFire and Jessica Lorimer of SmartLeadersSell.
When you attend an online summit, you don't have to worry about flights, hotels and finding the venue. You get up, logon and choose which speakers to watch and learn from. You can even watch it from your smartphone.
With my online summit, I also create a pop-up Facebook group for all the attendees which brings a great opportunity to network with your fellow entrepreneurs without again, having to leave the house.
This is the second year I have put on my own online summit. Both years, the theme has been 'Raising Your Visibility Online'. I choose speakers whom I have connections with, and who I have experience of hearing or learning from. I watch during the year for people who are doing great things in their businesses and reach out to ask if they would like to join my summit as a speaker.
My goal is to bring world class experts to my audience over a three day period. I have speakers on creating events, becoming a speaker, making money in your business, mindset for entrepreneurs, how to start podcasting, how to sell in your business – all topics which are aimed at helping my audience to think about how they can raise their profiles and grow their business online in 2019.
I would love for you to join me and my speakers – to find out more, go to Raise Your Visibility Online.

The right sounds that promote relaxation and counteract stress and insomnia
ASMR, sounds that make you relax
Here are the stress-relieving sounds, the study
Whispered sounds, a swish of fingers on a surface, a brush on the hair, what do these sounds have in common? According to scientists, they are able to induce a feeling of relaxation and calm and to promote sleep more than classical music. This emerges from a very recent scientific research that appeared in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience thanks to an international collaboration between Japanese, British and American scholars (Sakurai et al, Front Behav Neurosci, 2021).
The acronym says little, ASMR, and the extended term even less, Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. But in fact the process behind this acronym is truly fascinating and promising for our well-being. In fact, it is believed that listening to some sounds, as mentioned at the beginning, whispers or touches on a surface, can induce a feeling of relaxation that starts with a tingling from the top of the head and then spreads throughout the body. However, until now, no agreement had been reached on the real effectiveness of ASMR in inducing relaxation and counteracting insomnia. The reason is that not everyone feels the sensation of tingling. To fully understand the mechanism of action of the ASMR and whether this can occur even in the absence of physical sensations such as tingling, the researchers developed the study we are talking about today.
Researchers recruited 30 young adults. The volunteers were divided into two groups. The first group listened to classical music, which is a type of music that has already been studied by science and which has shown its ability to induce relaxation. The second group listened to sounds such as whispers and finger movements on surfaces, sounds considered capable of inducing ASMR. During the experiment, the study participants were monitored to understand if music and sounds were able to activate particular brain areas. Finally, at the end of the experiment, the volunteers filled out a questionnaire indicating their subjective feelings. What emerged was that none of the volunteers experienced tingling. However, even in the absence of this physical sensation, the study showed that ASMR sounds bring important benefits. In fact, both ASMR sounds and classical music activated areas of the brain connected with sleep and relaxation. But ASMR sounds were able to activate more brain areas than classical music. In particular, it is worth noting that the ASMR sounds activated the prefrontal medial cortex, which is the basis of social activity. This is believed to have happened since ASMR sounds are related to everyday activities. Well, the prefrontal medial cortex also regulates the release of neurohormones such as dopamine and oxytocin, which help to cope with stress and bring feelings of comfort and relaxation. Therefore, ASMR sounds were more effective than classical music at promoting relaxation and reducing stress, plus, ASMR sounds were beneficial for all study participants, even in the absence of the tingling sensation.
Not only how we live and what we eat or drink, also what we hear can help us to reach a state of greater well-being and relaxation, to counteract stress more effectively and to sleep better. If you wish, in the relax section of the app you can find the new ASMR sounds, for a complete relaxation.

Maaya Thila is a wonderful diving site with a diameter of approximately 80 meters, easy to navigate through in just one dive, if the current is favorable. The marine life is of an incredible diversity, with several coral outcrops on the northwest and south sides, many caves and overhangs, a great feast of fish ranging from the white tips (the center of attention of this site), dog-toothed tuna, great barracudas, blue-faced angelfish, Moorish idol, parrot-fish, clown triggerfish, tall fin bat-fish, butterfly fish, stone-fish, lion-fish and angler-fish. Large turtles are also a regular around the reef.
This dive is a fish watcher's delight, and a magnificent sight for anyone, with beautiful soft coral and gorgonians on the reef faces. It is a great idea to dive at night too.
Koh Tao Island is a wonderful destination, with many wonderful diving sites that will take your breath away. Try out Chumphon, with its pinnacles that are covered in colorful sea anemone and surrounded by fascinating marine live, such as large schools of trevally, bat-fish and barracuda. You can also spot giant barracudas, scorpion-fish and whale sharks. Southwest is also a great choice, a site that is also carpeted in anemone and surrounded by clown fish. Also, visit the wreck of Sattakut, a former US Nave ship, frequented by stingrays and puffer-fish. Some other great sites here are Shark Island (it resembles a dorsal fin and is also a little more dangerous than the others, due to the killer current and aggressive trigger-fish), Sail Rock, The Twins (great for new divers), White Rock and Green Rock.
One of the most treasured spots at Sipadan Island, the Barracuda Point is where you will most likely find yourself in the middle of a swirling vortex of chevron or black-tail barracuda. Frequent visitors of this place are the grey reef sharks, great barracudas, dog-toothed tuna, Big-eye and giant trevally.
This is one of the most colorful and entertaining dives, with a marine life of great diversity. You should be careful though, as the currents in the north can get very strong as you go deeper.
One of the world's greatest wreck diving sites, the Yongala wreck is a national historic site within the amazing, World Heritage listed, Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It is covered in a variety of corals, full of artifacts and surrounded by fascinating marine life.
Take into consideration that the dives go as far as 30 meters deep and you must be an advanced diver or show deep dive experience with training.
Divers say they have had an amazing experience here and saw huge schools of barracuda, ray's, sea snakes, turtles and even bull sharks.
Although it is a quite soliciting dive, the trip to the British supply ship SS Thistlegorm is definitely worth it. It is practically a slip into a World War II time capsule, as the wreck is surrounded by piles of explosives, hand grenades, anti-tank mines, essentially an impressive load of war material, frozen in time in the Egyptian Red Sea.
Another great diving site in the Red Sea is the Shark and Yolanda Reef, also one of the most popular in the area. Shark reef is a wall that drops 800m, with crystal blue water and filled with thousands of snappers and barracudas, which are hunted down by marauding sharks. The Yolanda reef takes its name from a ship that hit the reef and sank here in the early '80s. Here you can see a beautiful coral garden, full of vibrant soft corals and thousands of Anthia. Remains of the sunken ship are found in the west side, and the two reefs are linked together by a sandy slope.
The Big Brother Island is characterized by an amazingly healthy fish population, dominated by tiny anthias, sweepers and glass-fish, while its walls are densely covered by huge gorgonians and colorful soft corals. Frequented by numerous sharks, this site might bring grey and white tip reef sharks, hammerheads and thresher sharks right in front of your eyes. It is also home to two fascinating Red Sea wrecks, Numidia and Aida.

Because planktonic marine life is attracted to light at night, underwater lights are set up in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, shortly after sunset. Manta Rays are drawn to the area and are a true delight to divers that chose this adventure. They come and go as they please, as this is their natural habitat, and the chances are you will spot 1 to 5 Manta Rays in Manta Village, or an even larger number in Manta Heaven. The record was set in September 2014, at 46 Manta Rays spotted in one night.
You will most definitely by advised not to touch the Manta Rays, as it can really harm them, stay on the surface if you are a snorkeler, stay on the bottom and remove the snorkel from your mask if you're a diver.
One of the most amazing diving sites in the world, holding a record count of 374 different species in one dive, Cape Kri is also home to 1200 fish species, 600 coral species and 699 mollusk species. Huge schools of Big-eye trevallies, Barracudas and Snappers can be seen hanging over the drop-off, while at the base of the reef, at 38 meters, an ancient snagged anchor rests next to a bommie with a dense school of Banded sweet-lips. Beautiful coral gardens, turtles, even dolphins and whales are present in the reefs belonging to Cape Kri. The sights are fantastic and a dive here is unforgettable.
The Great Blue Hole – Belize, Blue Corner Wall – Micronesia, Navy Pier – Western Australia, the Liberty wreck – Indonesia, the President Coolidge wreck – Vanuatu, Playa del Carmen – Mexico, The Galapagos Islands – Ecuador and Semporna Archipelago – Borneo.

Making Tracks with Adirondack Trail Riders
The season may be off to a bit of a slow start, but that doesn't stop the excited anticipation of snowmobile enthusiasts here along the Adirondack Coast. Conditions are improving as I write - with a good 3 inches of fresh powder last night. If you are one of these enthusiasts that like to venture onto some remote Adirondack trails, then more often than not you can thank a local snowmobile club for that opportunity. It is the effort and hard work of local clubs that makes these adventures possible. Through planning, landowner negotiation, a NYS approval process, and hours of hands-on work clearing, maintaining and grooming, these clubs provide an Adirondack winter wonderland trail riding experience for all of us to enjoy.
Adirondack Trail Riders
The Adirondack Trail Riders, based in Ticonderoga, is a club whose members are working hard for everyone's enjoyment. I recently connected with Walt Worth and his wife Mary Beth to get some insight on some Ticonderoga area trails and activity. Walt is Vice-President of this snowmobile club and a very busy guy. Finding a time to connect was no easy task. Aside from the VP responsibilities with the ATR, Walt also holds a seat on the Crown Point Town Council, and both he and his wife are multiple business owners. They own and operate the Crab Shack restaurant and Maple Ridge Park Campground in Ticonderoga's neighboring town, Crown Point. Mary Beth also operates the Champlain Realty Group. On the day I was lucky enough to catch up with them, Walt had just returned from installing a gate on a farmer's field; the site of a new snowmobile trail connection. Mary Beth had returned from showing a local piece of property. Both were energized having spent the afternoon in the crisp Adirondack fresh air.
Walt explained that a great many new trail connections have opened in the recent past. The club has been diligent in working one-on-one with the property owners, respecting their wishes for trail location, building gates in fence lines, and monitoring conditions to ensure no damage will be done. This works if all members, and fellow riders, stick to the groomed trails, abide by the signs, and understand that making use of the private property is a privilege that could easily disappear if abused. Everyone has been anxious for this season to get rolling, but risking damage to property or equipment by getting out there before conditions are right can ruin the riding experience for everyone. "Patience is a Virtue" their Facebook site posts. Recent colder temperatures have frozen the ground providing a solid base for snow accumulation and some great riding. While in the "patient" mode, the Adirondack Trail Riders have been planning, working with neighboring clubs and negotiating for more snowmobile connections and opportunities. Current connections take you north into the Town of Moriah and west to connect with the myriad of trails in the Schroon Lake Region. Plans are in the works for southern connections into the Towns of Hague and Putnam. "Right now Ticonderoga is a great home base for snowmobilers," Walt informed me, "but it will be getting even better."
The Grooming Machine
The Adirondack Trail Riders make us of some pretty awesome-looking trail grooming equipment, a Chevy Blazer on tracks, to ensure a good base for your riding experience. Many hours are spent in this machine prepping trails for everyone's enjoyment.
News from Ticonderoga
Just last week the Town of Ticonderoga granted permission for snowmobiles to connect through Bicentennial Park near the eastern end of Montcalm Street. The trail will be marked every 25 feet and is to be used only when conditions are adequate, a minimum of a 4" base, but this access will open up even more Ticonderoga amenities and services to snowmobilers. The trail through the park will begin of NYS Route 22, near the Shore Airport Road, pass by the Little League field, to the covered, Kissing Bridge in the park, to cross and connect with the LaChute River Trail; a scenic route past Bicentennial Falls and along the LaChute River. This map may not appear on the New York State snowmobile site until the next update, but a copy is provided here. Ticonderoga offers a multitude of lodging, dining and shopping options within its downtown area. Of particular interest to snowmobilers would be Tony's Ticonderoga Sports, near the juncture of Rtes 9N & 22 and 74, offering snowmobile sales, parts and accessories. This is also near a good access point for one of the ATR trails that would connect you to a 35-mile loop up Chilson Hill and into Crown Point.
"Snowmobilers can refer to the NYS Snowmobile website's trail map, but the best course of action is to follow the signs and stay on the groomed trails," Walt told me. "Sometimes the updates on the state site have yet to appear, or there are minor diversions due to conditions." For the most updated information contact the club, or tune into their Facebook page for recent posts. They always welcome new members and would love to see you at their annual fundraising clambake held at the Ticonderoga Fish and Game Club every May.
Snowmobile Rally
Enthusiasts will want to watch the events calendar for the North Country SPCA's snowmobile rally next winter. This year, on January 16, the association held their 2nd Annual Snowmobile Rally at the Essex County Fairgrounds in Westport.
There I found machines from the earliest, to the latest models, parts, equipment and numerous enthusiasts sharing stories and information. The prize for this year's fundraising raffle was a 1971 Moto Ski Cadet.
The food, fun, and children's activities were very engaging. NCSPCA was there with adorable pets for adoption and even the clown, Merriloons, had to take a test drive.
Happy Trails!

He had access to some of the best equipment available, and tested every machine he could get his hands on. This led to a very scary discovery – more than half the machines on the market were actually harmful to health, producing ozone, formaldehyde and VOCs as by-products. Only a handful were not harmful and even between them, there were varying degrees of efficiency.

It looks like driving across the border for the 2010 Olympic Games may be hassle free after all.
A new Washington State study has downgraded the number of cars expected to cross per day at Games time to 200 from 2,000.
The change came after Olympic organizers released their ticket sales plan, which showed that only 4 per cent, or 48,433 tickets, would go to the U.S.
"In the early planning we thought possibly 40 to 50 per cent of the tickets would be sold to the U.S.," said Hugh Conroy project manager for the Whatcom County Council of Governments, which carried out the study.
"But now it looks like rather than be a busy summer day (in traffic volume), it is going to be a busy winter day."
The council is the legislative branch of Whatcom County government.
Conroy said the council wants to make sure that Olympic traffic is handled well, as there are likely to be future travellers amongst those who cross, and it's a chance to test new flow systems.
"We see this as an important travel flow we would like to accommodate," he said. "It is very high profile and so we hope to test some systems that we hope will improve travellers' experience for the long term.
"With the Olympics we want to make sure our travellers' information systems are working as well as they can because we potentially will have people unfamiliar with the area travelling."
Mike Milne spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said the new estimates represents a more realistic traffic pattern for Games time.
"The revised estimates of 200 vehicles a day is well within our ability to move that traffic without incurring any undue delays," he said.
"The good news is that this is happening in winter, which is traditionally the least busy time to travel in, so these revised estimates are really good news for international border crossers."
There will also be in place some new technology to deal with travelers, said Milne.
Each port of entry will be enabled for Radio Frequency Identity Devices (RFID). These are identity cards like the NEXUS, the new enhanced driver's licence and the new passport card.
Once scanned the information immediately pops up on the agent's computer, speeding the crossing time up by cutting out data entry and also making the border more secure.
"We have been planning this for several years now, we know it is coming and we want the story to be about the Olympic competition in Canada not about delays at the border, so we have done a lot and we will continue to do a lot to make sure that is the case," said Milne.
The new border crossing numbers do not take into account people that may want to come up for the free events around Games celebrations, or those with tickets from a sponsors or who might fly into Seattle for the event.
But, said Conroy: "That number is probably not a game changer."
There may also be some unusual border traffic flow times if ticket holders must make it to Vancouver in time to get morning buses to Whistler for alpine and Nordic events.
The U.S. is planning on increasing staffing levels and will have 10 lanes open at the under-construction Peace Arch crossing at Games time.
Canada is also working on a comprehensive border-crossing plan said Shakila Manzoor, spokesperson for the Pacific region office of the Canada Border Services Agency.
"We are also ensuring that travellers coming for the 2010 Winter Games do not face unnecessary delays at our border," she said. "We have a solid operational plan for the 2010 Winter Games and this is based on managing the increased movement of persons and goods into Canada."
She could not comment on how many cars Canada expects to enter the country due to the Games, nor on the Whatcom study.

Authorities say they have recovered a body in Irondequoit Bay, believed to be that of a 27 year old Henrietta man who was in a canoe that capsized on Saturday.
Monroe County deputies say that shortly after 5pm on Saturday, they responded to a report of a capsized canoe in the bay, about 100 feet from Stony Point Marina.
In addition to the sheriff's department SCUBA team, the Coast Guard, State Police, Webster Police, and the West Webster and Ridge Culver fire departments also responded.
Deputies say that three young men were canoeing in Irondequoit Bay when the canoe capsized. Two of the men resurfaced and one did not. The other two called for help from a nearby residence.
Side scan sonar and a search by air with Coast Guard and State Police helicopters were used on Saturday.
Officials say that the temperature of the water in the bay ranges from 32 to 40 degrees. The depth of the water in that area is around 5 to 6 feet.
The body of the person recovered by first responders has been taken to the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office. The name of the person has not been released pending positive identification.

hi can anybody tell me how to get my dvd/cd drive to start automaticlly? thanks in advance i am running win7 and just installed new drive.
Have they just stopped working automatically or have they always not worked?
If they have just stopped working then the chances are that the autoplay/autorun option has been disabled in the registry - Windows occasionally does this for some unkonw reason.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, it's employees, or other MVPs.
Hi JOHN I'M AFRAID THAT I HAD NO LUCK WITH WHAT YOU SUGESTED ACCORDING TO THE REGISTERY IT IS ENABLED SO I AM STILL HAVING TO START WINDOWS MUSIC PLAYER AND CLICK ON TO DRIVE D TO PLAY THE DISC AFTER LOADING IT INTO DRIVE.
tHANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP GEORGE.
Click Start button and then click the Control panel option. In Control Panel, click the Autoplay icon. In the autoplay window click the 'down arrow' in the box to the right of the Audio CD option. From the list select 'play audio CD's with Windows Media Player' Finally click the Save button art the bottom of the AutoPlay window.
Hi have followed your link to the letter but have had no luck thanks for trying.
No John fraid still not working getting frustrated abit now though i have a lot of pacience and will not give up in a hurry.
Is this an internal drive (some laptops use external disc drives)?
Is this a disc you've burned or a store bought media disc?
How long are you waiting for the Autoplay to start? It could take several seconds.
What is the file type on the disc (mp3, wma, cda, etc)?
the disc types are mp3 and any other that you buy from shop.
I have this same problem with Auto Play not working when I insert a CD or DVD.
I have followed all the advice for finding the problem in the registry.
I then went to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentVersion\policies\explorer , however even though I used the registry search option I could not locate the entry "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" after searching I get the message "search complete" but it does not locate that particular entry.
I did follow another set of advice on the help forums, and this brought me to a dialog box with a command prompt in it. After typing the requiste command in I got the message that the command could not be carried out as the "AutoRun was disabled"
I am at a loss to find where this erroneous registry entry is. I hope you can help.
I did have Roxio Creator DE on th PC, but before I attempted all the above I uninstalled it via the control panel.

Q: Get Google Cloud Storage File from ObjectName I'm migrating my GAE app from the deprecated File API to Google Cloud Storage Client Library.
I used to persist the blobKey, but since there is partial support for it (as specified here) from now on I'll have to persist the object name.
Unfortunately the object name that comes from the GCS looks more or less like this

/gs/bucketname/819892hjd81dh19gf872g8211

as you can see, it also contains the bucket name
Here's the issue, every time I need to get the file for further processing (or to serve it in a servlet) I need to create an instance of GcsFileName(bucketName, objectName) which gives me something like

/bucketName/gs/bucketName/akahsdjahslagfasgfjkasd

which (of course) doesn't work.
so. my question is:
 - how can I generate a GcsFileName form the objectName?
UPDATE
I tried using the objectName as BlobKey. But it just doesn't work :(
InputStream is = new BlobstoreInputStream(blobstoreService.createGsBlobKey("/gs/bucketName/akahsdjahslagfasgfjkasd"));

I got the usual answer

BlobstoreInputStream received an invalid blob key

How do I get the file using the ObjectName???

A: If you have persisted and retrieved e.g the string String objname worth e.g "/gs/bucketname/819892hjd81dh19gf872g8211", you could split it on "/" (String[] pieces = objname.split("/")) and use the pieces appropriately in the call to GcsFileName.

Facebook is not your friend | Sheneman opinion
By Drew Sheneman | For Inside Jersey
Facebook is a diaper fire.
What started as a fun little diversion and a way to share sloth memes has, through its sheer size, turned into a dumping ground for anonymous hate speech and the subversion of democracy by hostile foreign governments. Meanwhile, the tech bros at the helm of the world's largest data harvesting company have virtually abdicated any responsibility for what goes on via their platform. Their answer to their platform being co-opted by neo-nazis and Russian hate bots was to contract out the job of policing content to a bunch of "employees" many of whom now suffer form PTSD.
Now Mark Zuckerberg and his cohort have decided they would very much like to not be held responsible for knowingly disseminating false political advertising. That's right, if you identify as a politician, you are free to craft any lie that pops into your ambitious little head into a political ad and Facebook will gladly run it for you, assuming the check clears. You'll never guess who spends the most on Facebook ads. Okay, maybe you will.
Facebook's policy is that it doesn't want to police speech, but they already do. After years of public outrage they finally de-platformed red faced carbuncle Alex Jones and a host of white nationalist stooges.
The easiest thing to do would be for Facebook to forgo the relatively meager revenue it takes in from political ads and just not run them. The easiest thing for you to do would be to delete Facebook.
