The final round of the 2009 ALMS season was held at California's beautiful Laguna Seca circuit-2.238 miles of twisting, elevation-changing, glass-smooth pavement. Many of the teams arrived at Laguna with their championship hopes still in place. LMP1's Highcroft's Acura team had been scrambling to make enough points to keep its lead in the prototype category. In GT2 the Risi Ferrari team finished well in the rain-soaked Petit race and was right on the Porsche Flying Lizard team's coattails. The Corvette Racing program was finishing out a five-race development program in GT2 and was not in the championship hunt. However, the Corvette team had progressed well, with podium finishes at almost every race, including its first win at Mosport.
The ALMS Laguna schedule is short and sweet: a test/practice day Thursday afternoon, additional practice and qualifying on Friday, and the race Saturday. This gave the Corvette engineers development time to work out suspension setups that would satisfy the drivers while delivering optimum performance. The Thursday practice was fairly uneventful, but Friday's session was pretty foggy, and the road surface a little more slippery than usual. The Corvettes had their problems with the conditions. Both cars suffered off-road excursions, with the No. 4 car needing a front-end rebuild due to damage. On top of that, the drivers were asking for changes in Fifth and Sixth gears, which meant pulling the gearbox and re-spec'ing the transaxle ratios as well. It made for a busy day, with only 41/2 hours until the start of practice/qualifying in the afternoon.
The repairs and adjustments were made, and the Team Corvette C6.Rs were on pit lane to start the afternoon sessions on time. Jan Magnussen surprised everyone with a great time, grabbing pole position for the GT2 class. The Risi F430 Ferrari, piloted by Jamie Melo, slotted in Second, and Oliver Gavin brought the Corvette No. 4 car home in Third.
Race day offered morning fog but clear skies for the 2 p.m. race start. The green flag flew for the four-hour race, and the sun finally took over to burn off any residual gloom. The Corvettes immediately took control, with Magnussen in the No. 3 car leading the GT2 pack, and Gavin quickly passing the red Ferrari to take up second. The C6.Rs continued the 1-2 class lead through the first hour of competition. The pair pitted for tires and fuel only, and left with Gavin ahead in the No. 4 car, due to a prolonged fueling time for No. 3.
This pit service was soon followed by a full-course yellow, and the subsequent restart spelled trouble for Gavin. He was under a full head of steam through the start/finish, came roaring down the hill on the inside through Turn 1, and ran out of room to brake for the tight-hairpin Turn 2. At that point Olly was "bowling for dollars," as he carried two other cars with him into the sand trap outside of Turn 2 while also damaging the Highcroft prototype. It was a big "off," and it forced the course marshals to declare another yellow-flag condition. Laguna's sand traps are built to stop very light FIA motorbikes, so cars that enter them sink immediately up to their hubs and require a time-consuming extrication.
The No. 4 car was somehow able to get back on track under its own power and was directed by crew chief Mike West to head straight to the garage for repair. In Corvette Racing style, the car was rebuilt with a combination of new parts and plenty of yellow-impregnated Bear Bond, and was back on track for competition in 15 minutes. Gavin's partner, Olivier Beretta, would finish the race for the No. 4 car, but not before a flat front tire forced him into another time-consuming pit stop. It simply wasn't the No. 4 car's day, and it would finish several laps down to the leader in GT2.

Carcinoid syndrome occurs when a rare cancerous tumor called a carcinoid tumor secretes certain chemicals into your bloodstream, causing a variety of signs and symptoms. Carcinoid tumors occur most commonly in the gastrointestinal tract or lungs.
Carcinoid syndrome typically occurs in people who have carcinoid tumors that are advanced. Treatment for carcinoid syndrome usually involves treating the cancer. However, because most carcinoid tumors don't cause carcinoid syndrome until they're advanced, a cure may not be possible. In those cases, medications may relieve your symptoms of carcinoid syndrome and make you more comfortable.
The signs and symptoms of carcinoid syndrome depend on which chemicals your carcinoid tumor secretes into your bloodstream. The most common signs and symptoms of carcinoid syndrome include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have signs and symptoms that concern you.
Carcinoid syndrome is caused by a carcinoid tumor that secretes serotonin or other chemicals into your bloodstream. Carcinoid tumors occur most commonly in your gastrointestinal tract, including your stomach, small intestine, appendix, colon and rectum, or in your lungs.
Only a small percentage of carcinoid tumors secrete the chemicals that cause carcinoid syndrome. In most cases, the liver effectively neutralizes the chemicals before they have a chance to travel through your body and cause symptoms. However, when an advanced tumor spreads (metastasizes) to the liver itself, these tumors may secrete chemicals that aren't neutralized before reaching the bloodstream. Most people who experience carcinoid syndrome have an advanced cancer that has spread to the liver.
Some carcinoid tumors don't have to be advanced to cause carcinoid syndrome. For instance, carcinoid lung tumors that secrete chemicals into the blood do so farther upstream from the liver — not directly into the liver, where the chemicals are processed and eliminated. Carcinoid tumors in the intestine, on the other hand, secrete their chemicals into blood that must first pass through the liver before reaching the rest of the body. The liver usually neutralizes the chemicals before they can affect the rest of the body.
What causes carcinoid tumors is unclear.
Having carcinoid syndrome can cause the following complications:
You may start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs and symptoms of carcinoid syndrome. Based on what your doctor finds, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating cancer (oncologist), disorders of the endocrine system (endocrinologist) or a surgeon.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and know what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For carcinoid syndrome, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions as they occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor will assess your signs and symptoms in order to rule out other causes of skin flushing and diarrhea. If no other causes are found, your doctor may suspect carcinoid syndrome. To confirm a diagnosis, your doctor may recommend further tests, including:
Treating carcinoid syndrome involves treating your cancer and may also involve using medications to control your specific signs and symptoms.
Treatments may include:
Talk to your doctor about self-care measures that may improve your signs and symptoms. Self-care measures can't replace treatment, but they may complement it. Ask your doctor if you should:
You may be relieved to finally find an answer to what's been causing your signs and symptoms, but a diagnosis of a rare disease such as carcinoid syndrome can be stressful. As you develop your way of coping with a cancer diagnosis, talk with your health care team about how you feel and consider trying to:

I was wondering what the benefits of using Lambda Expressions are. Can someone think of examples of where they would be beneficial to use? Let's say that I have a website where I want to add and manipulate customer and product information from a database. Is that a good place to use them for instance? Thank you in advance!
Best Answer Andre S. , 27 June 2013 - 23:38
Lambdas are more than inline functions, they are also closures. Any lambda that captures local variables, fields, etc, is compiled not to a method but to a type. C++ programmers are familiar with this concept under the name of functors; it was the only way to do closures before the advent of lambda expressions in C++11. C# had support for closures before lambdas actually, in C# 2.0 there were already anonymous methods which are basically lambdas with an ugly syntax. With lambdas, LINQ and the Func and Action types, C# 3.0 made functional programming much easier.Go to the full post

By the time current eighth-graders reach their sophomore year of high school, they'll be on a different path than any class in recent memory.
They won't have to pass multiple end-of-course exams (EOCs) to graduate, and they won't have to take Chemistry, Physics and Algebra II.
Thanks to the Legislature approving a new law, the class of 2017 will be able to pave their own career path in high school and select courses based on their interests and strengths.
"I think this will definitely reduce our dropout rate." said Alexis Tibbetts, who is the instructional support coordinator for the Walton County School District. "When you have students focused on a path that they are interested in … they go on and complete their degree."
Under the new law, students will have three diploma designations to choose from: scholar, merit and standard.
The standard diploma path requires students to earn at least a 2.0 GPA, pass the Algebra I EOC, pass the 10th grade reading section of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, take at least one online class and earn 24 credits in required courses.
The merit designation will be awarded to students who earn one or more industry certifications prior to graduation. Students on that path can also choose to substitute an approved technical or career course for a standard math or science class.
School districts still are waiting to hear from the Florida Department of Education on which certifications and replacement classes will be accepted under that plan, according to Bill Emerson, the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction for Santa Rosa County schools.
Students who chose to pursue the scholar route will follow a model closely related to those in place for current students. Those students will take traditional higher level math and science courses, pass all the EOCs and even earn an industry certification. Those students also must take at least one Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Advanced International Certification of Education or dual enrollment class.
Students pursuing the merit or scholar designations also must meet all the terms set by the standard diploma.
Emerson said the new requirements will enable any high school graduate to go to college, but will not force them to take classes geared for a traditional four-year college path as existing standards do. Instead, they can earn an associate's degree or further industry certification if it matches more closely with their future plans than a bachelor's degree.
"I think most students will strive for the scholars (designation)," Emerson said. "But the pressure now is if I can't, I still graduate."
Tibbetts said she also sees the flexibility of the new law as a positive, even as it doesn't change the bottom line for student expectations.
"In high school, you need to take the hardest classes your high school has to offer in your interest," she said.
School officials said they still are sorting through the finer nuances of the law and waiting to hear from the FDOE on how to approach a lot of the situations before they move forward.
"What we're trying to do right now is get all the details we can as quickly as we can," said Steve Horton, the director of high schools in Okaloosa County. "I don't have any doubt that we'll be able to provide clear information to parents and students."
In addition to questions about the courses and certifications, school officials still are waiting to hear what impact, if any, the new law will have on current ninth-graders.
Right now, the class of 2016 is the only one required to pass EOCs in Algebra, Geometry and Biology in order to graduate. Sophomores, juniors and seniors have slightly different requirements as well.
"This has placed (guidance counselors) in a real tough place," Emerson said of the constant changes to graduation requirements.
The issue has been acknowledged on the state level, but no decisions have been announced. State officials confirmed they are sorting through the law and will provide more information in the coming weeks and months.
Until then, school officials said they will continue to prepare for the new standards and ready themselves to answer questions for incoming freshmen and their families.
"As long as we can stick with this set of standards for a period of time, I think we'll be fine," Horton said.

Comments about D'Addario Woodwinds Select Jazz Unfiled Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
These reeds are great! When I first tried them, compared side-by-side to Rico Hemke and La Voz and Vandoren V12 and ZZ reeds, the RJS reeds seemed like they were too difficult to play, especially in the lows (even though they were slightly softer than the rest (even according to Rico's chart)), but after a few days of practice, they became my favorite of the group. Now I don't use anything else. I prefer the unfiled variety due to their slightly warmer tone than the filed ones, but the difference is minor. If you can try them both, do so, but you aren't missing too much if you can't.
They give me better lows and much better highs than other reeds of comparable strength with the easiest altissimo by far, they're extremely consistent, and they're the most tonally flexible reeds I've ever played. One of the other reviewers claimed that these reeds only last for "a gig or two", but that has been the exact opposite of my experience - I've been using the first tenor reed I tried since I got them over six months ago, playing them nearly every day for at least an hour at a time. The only ones I have lost were due to my own clumsiness. :)
My only complaint is that the strength system is a bit confusing. It isn't too hard to figure it out using the strength chart on Rico's website, but it can be easily misleading to those still learning the witchcraft behind reeds.
All things considered, I would highly recommend these to any sax player of any genre (I even use them for classical when needed).
Comments about D'Addario Woodwinds Select Jazz Unfiled Tenor Saxophone Reeds:

Comments about D'Addario Woodwinds Select Jazz Unfiled Tenor Saxophone Reeds:
I've been using this reed since it came out about 10 years ago. Once you are dialed into the right strength for yourself you will have a reed with incredible altissimo, a bright singing tonal quality, and good consitency. The only downside to the Jazz Select reed is that they don't last for more than a gig or two.

Industry Certification in Contract Management–Federal
What is the ICCM?
The ICCM is to private industry what the Defense Acquisition Workforce Act (DAWIA) and the Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting (FAC-C) are to the Department of Defense and Federal Agencies.
DAWIA and FAC-C certifications are awarded by Federal agencies. Who awards the ICCM?
The ICCM is awarded by the National Contract Management Association.
The DAWIA and FAC-C are separate certifications. Does NCMA have two ICCM certifications as well?
Yes. The ICCM-D mirrors the requirements for the DAWIA certification. The ICCM-F mirrors the requirements for the FAC-C.
There are three levels for the DAWIA and FAC-C certifications. Does the ICCM have three levels also?
Yes. There are three levels for the ICCM-D and the ICCM-F.
Who is eligible to apply for the ICCM certifications?
The ICCM certifications are open to any qualified contracting professional who is not a military member or employee of a federal agency.
What are the requirements for earning the ICCM certifications?
The education, experience, and specialized training requirements for the ICCM-D are exactly the same as for the DAWIA certification in contracting. The requirements for the ICCM-F are exactly the same as for the FAC-C.
Do I have to get the specialized training from a specific source?
Training classes taken for ICCM-F certification purposes must be taken from a commercial vendor, a college or university, or another organization whose class has been determined to be Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Equivalent by DAU or has been verified by the Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI). Classes taken directly from DAU may be used for certification.
DAU Equivalent Providers. A list of DAU Equivalent vendors and classes can be found in DAU's iCatalog under Equivalent Providers. Commercial vendors, colleges and universities, and other organizations can find more information about the DAU Equivalency Process in the DAU iCatalog under Equivalent Providers.
FAI Verified Providers. A list of FAI Verified vendors and classes can be found on the FAI Verified Contracting Classes page. The FAI Verification process is in development.
NCMA Education Partners. Individuals can take courses to fulfill the requirements here as well.
What are the requirements for earning the ICCM certifications?
The education, experience, and specialized training requirements for the ICCM-D are exactly the same as for the DAWIA certification in contracting. The requirements for the ICCM-F are exactly the same as for the FAC-C.
I am an experienced contracting professional but I do not have a bachelor's degree. Can the degree requirement be waived?
No. To insure there is recognition that the ICCM standards are as demanding as the DAWIA and FAC-C standards, no requirements will be waived. (Note: The bachelor's degree is not required for FAC-C Levels I and II, therefore it is not required for the ICCM-F Levels I and II.)
I have been a contracting professional for XX years, but I have not had the specialized DAWIA or FAC-C training. Can I be grandfathered into the ICCM certification?
No. There will be no grandfathering provisions for the ICCM.
I am a current DAWIA or FAC-C certified federal employee or military member. May I apply for the ICCM based on my current certification?
No. The ICCM is not for contracting professionals who are current military members or federal employees.
I am a former military member or federal employee who was DAWIA or FAC-C certified in contracting. May I apply for the ICCM based on my prior certification?
NCMA will evaluate requests from individuals who have been out of federal service for five years or less and can document an average of 40 hours of Continuing Professional Education for each year.
I currently hold another NCMA certification (CPCM, CFCM, or CCCM). Do I get any credit towards the ICCM?
No. The CPCM, CFCM, and CCCM are completely separate certifications, each requiring a specific rigorous examination. Federal Employees typically attempt these certifications after attaining the minimum DAWIA or FAC-C required certification, however, qualified professionals may attempt them at any time.
What is the cost of the ICCM?
The major portion of the cost is in obtaining the required number of courses. The exact cost depends on the provider chosen. The NCMA application fee for the ICCM is $299 for NCMA members and $475 for non-members.
Renewal requirements for the ICCM
ICCM certifications are valid for two years. They can be renewed upon request. Renewal requires documentation of 80 hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE). The 80 CPEs are equivalent to the 80 Continuous Learning Points (CLP) as required for maintaining DAWIA and FAC-C certifications. CPE may be earned in a number of ways. See the NCMA CPE Guide for details.
Renewal Fee
$50 for members and $100 for nonmembers.
Is there an examination required?
No. DAWIA and FAC-C have no comprehensive examinations and neither does ICCM.
How do I know if a provider is DAU-Approved?
DAU maintains a list of equivalent courses and approved providers on its website www.DAU.mil. NCMA will provide a list of NCMA Education Partners who are approved providers.
For additional questions, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Tokyo Sonata" is a portrait of a seemingly ordinary Japanese family. The father who abruptly loses his job conceals the truth from his family; the eldest son in college hardly returns home; the youngest son furtively takes piano lessons without telling his parents; and the mother, who knows deep down that her role is to keep the family together, cannot find the will to do so. From the exterior, all is normal and the same. But, somehow, a single, unforeseeable chasm has appeared within the family, only to spread ever so quietly and quickly to disintegrate them.
Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and brief strong language.

Solid pedals
By Hermi
from San Francisco, Ca
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Comments about Shimano PD-R540 SPD-SL Road Pedals:
I ride about 100 miles a week. When my look cleats needed to be replaced I decided to switch over to the shimano pedals to match the rest of my components. I love it. A lot easier to clip in and out of than my old looks. Just as secure as the look pedals when sprinting and climbing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great value
By Stump
from Iowa/Colorado
Why pay more for a pedal, these things do all a pedal needs to do. The weight is similar to much more expensive pedals, and the white looks sweet on my white road bike. I've been riding hard for 20 years and I just can't see any reason to go with anything else. I have them on 3 of my bikes now and need another pair of cleats for a new pair of shoes, the price for this pedal is the same as the cleats alone. Guess I'll be buying 1 more pair.

Great pedal
By PcolaBill
from Pensacola, Florida
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I am new to road biking, I was a pretty avid Mountain Biker years ago. My wife and I just started getting ready for our first Tri and I wanted to use clipless. These pedals fit the bill. Easy to install and they do everything I could ask. The clip-in is solid but I find it pretty easy to get out when I need to. I guess if a few grams could make a difference in my times, I could spend a bunch more money but these are great.If you are looking for a reasonable price on a good solid pedal, these should be your pedals.

they work.
By McBiker
from Montgomery, TX
This is my first set of "road pedals" so it took a minute to get used to clipping in. Stepping out is simple, I haven't adjusted tension yet,and don't think I'll need to any time soon.isometimes have to look at the pedal when clipping in, but for the most part, I don't have any trouble.

I like it
By EVVE
from Brooklyn , NY
I like this pedals , before I used "Welgo" and now I got it and like it.
Well constructed Pedal
By Wildirishman64
from Berea, KY
I purchased these pedals for my new Giro road shoes. I have used spd's for two years and I wanted a new set up this year. Well made and solid. Give me a nice range of movement based on my foot position and riding style. The price doesn't flucuate much but I feel like they are a good deal for the price.
Great pedal for the money
I've upgraded from an spd style clip-in to these along with a nice set of Giro shoes. Very satisfied with pedals, easy to clip in and out. Great looking color contrast with my Tommiso road bike. Sturdy, light weight and simple to use.
Nice Pedals

What are constipation symptoms?
Reader Stories
Symptoms of constipation include:
How is constipation evaluated (diagnosed)?
Reader Stories
A careful history and physical examination is important in all patients with constipation. There are many tests that can be used to evaluate constipation. Most patients need only a few basic tests. The other tests are reserved for individuals who have severe constipation or whose constipation does not respond easily to treatment.
Medical History
A careful medical history from a patient with constipation is critical for many reasons, but particularly because it allows the physician to define the type of constipation. This, in turn, directs the diagnosis and treatment. For example, if defecation is painful, the physician knows to look for anal problems such as a narrowed anal sphincter or an anal fissure. If small stools are the problem, there is likely to be a lack of fiber in the diet. If the patient is experiencing significant straining, then pelvic floor dysfunction is likely.
The medical history also uncovers medications and diseases that can cause constipation. In these cases, the medications can be changed and the diseases can be treated.
A careful dietary history-which may require keeping a food diary for a week or two-can reveal a diet that is low in fiber and may direct the physician to recommend a high-fiber diet. A food diary also allows the physician to evaluate how well a patient increases his dietary fiber during treatment.
Physical examination
A physical examination may identify diseases (for example, scleroderma) that can cause constipation. A rectal examination with the finger may uncover a tight anal sphincter that may be making defecation difficult. If a stool-filled colon can be felt through the abdominal wall, it suggests that constipation is severe. Stool in the rectum suggests a problem with the anal, rectal, or pelvic floor muscles.
Blood tests
Blood tests may be appropriate in evaluating patients with constipation. More specifically, blood tests for thyroid hormone (to detect hypothyroidism) and for calcium (to uncover excess parathyroid hormone) may be helpful.
Abdominal X-ray
Large amounts of stool in the colon usually can be visualized on simple X-ray films of the abdomen, and the more severe the constipation, more stool is visualized.
Barium enema
A barium enema (lower gastrointestinal [GI] series) is an X-ray study in which liquid barium is inserted through the anus to fill the rectum and colon. The barium outlines the colon on the X-rays and defines the normal or abnormal anatomy of the colon and rectum. Tumors and narrowings (strictures) are among the abnormalities that can be detected with this test.
Colonic transit (marker) studies
Colonic transit studies are simple X-ray studies that determine how long it takes for food to travel through the intestines. For transit studies, individuals swallow capsules for one or more days. Inside the capsules are many small pieces of plastic that can be seen on X-rays. The gelatin capsules dissolve and release the plastic pieces into the small intestine. The pieces of plastic then travel (as would digesting food) through the small intestine and into the colon. After 5 or 7 days, an X-ray of the abdomen is taken and the pieces of plastic in the different parts of the colon are counted. From this count, it is possible to determine if and where there is a delay in the colon.
In non-constipated individuals, all of the plastic pieces are eliminated in the stool and none remain in the colon. When pieces are spread throughout the colon, it suggests that the muscles or nerves throughout the colon are not working, which is typical of colonic inertia. When pieces accumulate in the rectum, it suggests pelvic floor dysfunction.
Defecography is a modification of the barium enema examination. For this procedure, a thick paste of barium is inserted into the rectum of a patient through the anus. X-rays then are taken while the patient defecates the barium. The barium clearly outlines the rectum and anus and demonstrates the changes taking place in the muscles of the pelvic floor during defecation. Thus, defecography examines the process of defecation and provides information about anatomical abnormalities of the rectum and pelvic floor muscles during defecation.
Ano-rectal motility studies
Ano-rectal motility studies, which complement defecography tests, provide an assessment of the function of the muscles and nerves of the anus and rectum. For ano-rectal motility studies, a flexible tube, approximately an eighth of an inch in diameter, is inserted through the anus and into the rectum. Sensors within the tube measure the pressures that are generated by the muscles of the anus and rectum. With the tube in place, the patient performs several simple maneuvers such as voluntarily tightening the anal muscles. Ano-rectal motility studies can help determine if the muscles of the anus and rectum are working normally. When the function of these muscles is impaired, the flow of stool is obstructed, thereby causing a condition similar to pelvic floor dysfunction.
Magnetic resonance imaging defecography
The newest test for evaluating defecation and its disorders magnetic resonance imaging defecography and is similar to barium defecography. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used instead of X-rays to provide images of the rectum during defecation. MRI defecography appears to be an excellent way to study defecation, but the procedure is expensive and somewhat cumbersome. As a result, it is used in only a few institutions that have a particular interest in constipation and abnormalities of defecation.
Colonic motility studies
Colonic motility studies are similar to ano-rectal motility studies in many aspects. A very long, narrow (one-eighth inch in diameter), flexible tube is inserted through the anus and passed through part or the entire colon during a procedure called colonoscopy. Sensors within the tube measure the pressures that are generated by the contractions of the colonic muscles. These contractions are the result of coordinated activity of the colonic nerves and muscles. If the activity of the nerves or muscles is abnormal, the pattern of colonic pressures will be abnormal. Colonic motility studies are most useful in defining colonic inertia. These studies are considered research tools, but they can be helpful in making decisions regarding treatment in patients with severe constipation.

Kenny, Cedrick
The Louis Vuitton label was founded by Vuitton in 1854 on Rue Neuve
louis vuitton replica handbags
des Capucines in Paris, France.[10] Louis Vuitton had observed that the HJ Cave Osilite trunk could be easily stacked and in 1858, Vuitton introduced his flat-bottom trunks with trianon canvas, making them lightweight and airtight.Before the introduction of Vuitton's trunks, rounded-top trunks were used, generally to promote water run off,

and thus could not be stacked. It was Vuitton's gray Trianon canvas flat trunk that allowed the ability to stack with ease for voyages. Many other luggagemakers imitated LV's style and design. In 1857, the company participated in the universal exhibition in Paris.To protect against the

duplication of his look, Vuitton changed the Trianon design to a beige and brown stripes design in 1876.[6] By 1885, the company opened its first store in London on Oxford Street.[10] Soon thereafter, due to the continuing imitation of his look, in 1888, Vuitton created the Damier Canvas pattern, which bore a logo that reads "marque L. Vuitton d��pos��e", which

translates into "L. Vuitton registered trademark". In 1892, Louis Vuitton died,

and the company's management passed to his son.

Will the cover attach to either side of the iPad mini? I'd like to set the mini in landscape mode with the left side of the screen down.
All the pictures show the cover attached on the right side of the iPad mini and unfortunately my tv streaming app would be upside down if I couldn't attach this cover on the other side of the mini and fold it as a stand. Trying to see if that is possible or not.
- Asked by Tim S from Redding
iPad mini Smart Cover
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
No, because the magnetic connection that specifically holds the smart cover is only on one side the iPad, not on both sides of the iPad.
- Answered by Debra M from Canton
No, the Smart Cover will only attach to the left edge of the iPad Mini.
- Answered by Alex B from Adelaide
Well, all apple mobile devices have a gyroscope, and, unless you are on rotation lock, it should rotate when you turn it upside down so wen you watch it will become the right way up

If you normally buy suits from big box stores, let this be the year you venture away from that norm! You won't regret it. I started buying suits from Modbe a few years ago and absolutely love them. First and foremost, they're cute and stylish. They're well made, quality suits that last a long time. They're budget friendly and, did I mention cute? They offer a variety of cuts and styles that make you actually like wearing a swimsuit again! I'm tall, so I appreciate the longer tops and love the fact that they have skirts that are fitted, as opposed to frilly.
You can check out the full DownEast 2012 Swim Suit line here. You can see the DownEast line as well as the Modbe line, which has a bit of a retro look. I opted for the Sausalito Halter with the Skipper Skirt. Love it! My only complaint is that the color looks different than what's pictured online. I expected varying shades of pink/ mauve, instead it's more a peach/ burnt orange color. Still cute, but a bit of a surprise when I pulled it out of the packaging! So keep that in mind- the colors are probably brighter than how they appear online.
Be sure to "like" DownEast Basics on Facebook! They give out % off coupon codes frequently!
To enter this contest, leave a comment on this post telling me your name, first part of your email address as well as your favorite suit from the 2012 line! {ex: Jessica, utahdealdiva@, I like the Sausalito Halter suit!}
For an additional entry, you can share this post Facebook! Just go to the Utah Deal Diva Facebook page, find this entry and click Share. Remember to leave an additional comment letting me know you've shared this!
Max of two entries per person. Contest ends Monday, 2/20/12 at 5pm, MST. All entries must be submitted as comments on this post before that time. Giveaway is sponsored by DownEast Basics. Winners names will be posted in UtahDealDiva.com. Winners are responsible for contacting me to claim their prize within 48 hours or another winner will be chosen. DownEast provided me with a swimsuit so that I could review the product. All opinions are 100% mine.

Get up off your seats people! Bradley Wiggins is the first ever British man to win the Tour De France !
If every paper you open and every website you click upon today seems to be showing a blur of yellow and images of a slim be-sideburned man grinning in sunglasses, there is good reason for this uniformity of coverage. The victory of Bradley Wiggins in the 2012 Tour de France is a feat of true greatness – the first triumph by a British rider in what must be considered the world's toughest sporting event, all three weeks and 2000 miles of it. You may already be annoyed at the hail tickertape – but, for once, the hype is justified.
