Then click "Disable Restrictions"", enter password and enable camera. The camera will stop the hang of recording.

Change smoke detector battery

My smoke detector  beeped and chirped every 10 minutes. I realized  the battery of smoke detector is low. Batteries should be replaced twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. I found once per year is still fine.

After I  replaced 9V smoke detector battery, I pressed test button and hold a few seconds. No sound! This is due to that the battery is not connected well. Finally I  pushed the battery very hard  to fit the connector. At the beginning there  is a beep sound then stop. I pressed the test button. I can hear the chirp sound. The smoke detector battery is changed successfully.

TSX to end of year 2013 at 12,400?

For three months, Canada TSX grows to 12820.92 (date: Sept, 06 2013).
But Hailesh Kshatriya, associate director for client investment strategies at Russell Investments Canada  expects the TSX to end  of  year 2013 at 12,400 and felt recent gains overdone as earnings growth  weak.
Let's see if his prediction is right.

Google site Adsense API is shutting down

In  Adsense  API in Google sites, there is a notice:
" Google site Adsense API is shutting down......"
"Starting August 30th 2013, it will no longer be possible to modify AdSense ad code on Google Sites pages. However, any ads you’ve previously placed on Google Sites will continue to show, and you’ll be credited for all valid earnings.
...............................
 However, it will no longer be possible to edit or add new AdSense ads to your existing Google Sites site or to new pages."

 It looks like that Adsense in Google sites is OK for the the site or page before August 30, 2013.
But what happen after August 30? If there is no Adsense allowed in new Google sites, will Google still support Google sites for free? Google may finally give up Google sites and no new sites are allowed. Let's wait and  see the fate of Google sites after August 30, 2013.

Payment: Youtube earnings displayed later than Adsense payment

As of Apr 1, 2013, YouTube Hosted AdSense for Content reporting will be managed at YouTube Analytics.
You can only see your YouTube earnings under Payment monthly.  Adsense payment is normally shown on 6th of the month, while YouTube earnings are  shown on 10th of the month. A lot of publishers and YouTube partners are panic and afraid of Youtube earnings lost and posted a lot inquiry in Adsense Forum.
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!categories/adsense/payments 

I also preferred old Adsense interface, I can see YouTube earnings and AdSense together every day.

Check youtube earnings in Adsense after content report updated.

In Google Adsense, it states:"As of Apr 1, 2013, YouTube Hosted AdSense for Content reporting will be managed at YouTube Analytics".  But YouTube Analytics is a little behind 2 days in report. We can see my youtube earnings "Hosted AdSense for Content" in Adsense account up-to-day. Method 1: the  "Hosted AdSense for Content" is still there. Only estimated earnings are zero.  We can calculate earnings by click times CPC.

Another method, click "View Full Reports"(appear at the top and bottom both)  after sign into Google Adsense . Then down at the bottom you will see "Hosted AdSense for Content" that is clickable. One you click that look over to the very right you will see "total Earnings" and "Estimated Earnings".
Total earnings are your earnings for that time! As youtube will take off some earnings, final earning should be less.  You can also choose different date range to see report in each day.   "Estimated Earnings" is zero. But it doesn't matter.

Get no money from YouTube videos?

After  around 10,000 views,
http://www.youtube.com/user/MrJiansenlu/videos?flow=grid&view=0
 I still can not get a single cent in my Youtube channel, I realized something  wrong in my youtube setting. I do have an adsense account and monetize my video, but I did not  associate my adsense to my Youtube channel.
Reference:
http://www.youtube.com/account_monetization
http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=72866
If you already have an approved AdSense account:

1. Access the Monetization page in your Account Settings.
2. From the AdSense Association page, you will be directed to AdSense.
3.  Following the instruction step by step  and accept the association

After this, Youtube is shown as "Hosted AdSense for Content" under AdSense product. I was told that Youtube may give bonus for those views monetized but not (before)  associated with AdSense account.
