Range DescriptionThis species is known from apparently separate subpopulations on the island of New Guinea (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea). The western subpopulation recorded from around Lake Habemma and the slopes of Mount Wilhelmina in Papua Province, Indonesia, and the eastern subpopulation on the Star Mountains (Lake Louise area) and Victor Emmanual Range, Papua New Guinea. It is possible (perhaps even probable) that the species occurs along the intervening mountain ranges. It has been recorded between 2,800 and 3,600 m asl.
There is an undescribed murid from the Star Mountains (Telefomin) which has been confused with this species, but this is a different species.

Hot answers tagged edible
Your body just doesn't have a reaction on skin contact right now. However most people will develop a reaction after enough repeated exposure. While poison ivy doesn't bother me either, I do take basic precautions to not push my luck. With regular contact, you will develop an allergy, and though it could take years, it will take a lot less if you start ...
The best advice is not to unless you are very, very sure. Having said that, and just for fun, assuming you are in a chronic survival situation with no choice, this article describes how to test if a plant is edible.
Eating berries and mushrooms is not recommended since there is no general pattern to identify poisonous ones (unless you're an expert on that topic). Even having a book with pictures of edible berries can be tricky as some poisonous ones are disguised as their edible counterparts. Plants, on the other hand, should not be edible if the sap is milky. Milky ...
No. For one, you may not be capable of gathering any worthwhile nutrition. You could eat grass all day and still be hungry. Secondly, many animals are immune to toxins that are nasty to us. Best example I know of is that goats and many other new world animals can eat poison ivy. But if you try eating it, you're in trouble.
If you are referring to Crataegus, then yes Hawthorne is edible, the pomes are like tiny apples with two flower spots on the bottom. It is commonly made into jelly, syrups and country wine. Regarding the seed, you want to pull this out after cooking the pome just like you would the heavy solids of any other fruit. I know you mention raspberry and black ...
Get a good book, with full color illustrations. I can't find a link for one, but you want quality equivalent to the Audubon full color field guides. Do a few field runs in the area you plan on being in with someone experienced before you try to eat the foliage. Of course, everything depends on risk. If you've been lost for four or five days and you'...
Intentional ingestion of poison ivy berries is ludicrous. Knowing what you already know - why even dare to go there? If you are looking for attention getting or want free kicks to get off on you'd be better off playing in traffic. At least in that instance you would have a running head start to get yourself away from the danger. My advice is do not eat or ...
Yes, they may be fatal! Is that a risk you're willing to take? As pointed out already even if you eat them once and you're ok, that may not be the case the next time. If you're unsure of eating anything in particular in the wild I'd stay well away. With something that's known to be poisonous to a large number of people, it just seems silly to even try!
Crataegus is definitely eatable, and has medicinal qualities. But remove the seeds before preparing any significant quantity. You also might wish to know that mature hawthorn fruit is often loaded with Codling moth larvae. And read this about seed toxicity.
In general, worldwide this is very hard to predict unless you're an expert in the subject (and therefore likely wouldn't be looking for advice on this page!) There are some clues, like plants with milky sap tend to be poisonous - but applying these in a general context is almost always a bad idea since your life can depend on it. The best you can do is to ...
It is plant specific AFAIK. But i heard somwhere, that if you taste poisoned berries or fruit it will taste strange - because of evolution - whoever can detect poisonous berry by taste will not eat it and will live longer :-)
As other answers say, don't just try it. A good negative indicator is if it irritates your skin. I've read that particularly with berries, if you crush some and rub some of the juice on a patch of skin and let it sit for a while, some berries will cause irritation, which is a good indicator not to eat them!

BOSTON -- Suspect Tarek Mehanna was charged in a Boston federal court with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, according to reports obtained by the Terrorism Committee of the 14,000-member National Association of Chiefs of Police.
The federal complaint alleges that, beginning in or about 2001 and continuing until in or about May 2008, Mehanna conspired with Ahmad Abousamra, and others to provide material support and resources for use in carrying out a conspiracy to kill, kidnap, maim or injure persons or damage property in a foreign country and extraterritorial homicide of a U.S. national.
Specifically, the complaint affidavit alleges that Mehanna and co-conspirators discussed their desire to participate in violent Jihad against American interests and that they would talk about fighting Jihad and their desire to die on the battlefield. The complaint further alleges that the coconspirators attempted to radicalize others and inspire each other by, among other things, watching and distributing Jihadi videos.
It is alleged that, among other things, Mehanna and two of his associates traveled to the Middle East in February 2004, seeking military-type training at a terrorist training camp that would prepare them for armed Jihad against U.S. interests, including U.S. and allied forces in Iraq. The complaint also alleges that one of Mehanna's coconspirators made two similar trips to Pakistan in 2002.
According to the complaint affidavit, Mehanna and the co-conspirators had multiple conversations about obtaining automatic weapons and randomly shooting people in a shopping mall, and that the conversations went so far as to discuss the logistics of a mall attack, including coordination, weapons needed and the possibility of attacking emergency responders. It is alleged that the plan was ultimately abandoned, because of their inability to obtain the automatic weapons they deemed necessary to effectively carry out the attacks.
Mehanna was previously indicted in January 2009 for making false statements to members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI in connection with a terrorism investigation.
If convicted on the material support charge, Mehanna faces up to 15 years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.

May 13 News: 30 Million People Displaced By Climate- And Weather-Related Events Last Year
A new report out today shows that over 30 million people were displaced by climate-related extreme weather events … [Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre Publications]
The Global Estimates report reveals that 32.4 million people were forced to flee their homes in 2012 by disasters such as floods, storms and earthquakes. While Asia and west and central Africa bore the brunt, 1.3 million were displaced in rich countries, with the USA particularly affected.
98% of all displacement in 2012 was related to climate- and weather-related events, with flood disasters in India and Nigeria accounting for 41% of global displacement in 2012. In India, monsoon floods displaced 6.9 million, and in Nigeria 6.1 million people were newly displaced. While over the past five years 81% of global displacement has occurred in Asia, in 2012 Africa had a record high for the region of 8.2 million people newly displaced, over four times more than in any of the previous four years.
… Just as climate expert Lord Stern predicts that hundreds of millions will be displaced this century. [Guardian]
It is increasingly likely that hundreds of millions of people will be displaced from their homelands in the near future as a result of global warming. That is the stark warning of economist and climate change expert Lord Stern following the news last week that concentrations of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere had reached a level of 400 parts per million (ppm).
Massive movements of people are likely to occur over the rest of the century because global temperatures are likely to rise to by up to 5C because carbon dioxide levels have risen unabated for 50 years, said Stern, who is head of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change.
"When temperatures rise to that level, we will have disrupted weather patterns and spreading deserts," he said. "Hundreds of millions of people will be forced to leave their homelands because their crops and animals will have died. The trouble will come when they try to migrate into new lands, however. That will bring them into armed conflict with people already living there. Nor will it be an occasional occurrence. It could become a permanent feature of life on Earth."

Question for 350 Folks Regarding The University of California and Fossil Fuel Divestment
I've noticed that The Regents of the University of California are having one of their (fairly infrequent) meetings/gatherings in Sacramento later this week (two days). As far as I can tell, based on the various agendas posted for their various sessions on their website, the topic of fossil fuel divestment is not on any of the present agendas. Can someone please tell me who (what organizations and what specific people) is/are leading the charge focused on getting the University of California system to divest? I'm a U.C. Berkeley alum and would like to get involved and help if I can connect with an active campaign that has some (even if small?) prayer/chance of succeeding.
While not unexpected, the fact that these numbers are as high as they are should cause us all to stop and think. The reality is that climate change will drive changes to all levels of government policies.
I give, for example, the ongoing rancor over immigration reform that currently occupies both the US Congress and political press. The focus on increasing border security at just this time means that we have not yet begun to think about climate refugees and the sure to come demand that the largest polluter (USA) should take the largest share of these displaced populations. Most will initially come from Africa, but eventually Vietnam (Mekong Delta) and Bangladesh will eventually push those number much, much higher.
It is rather like the silliness of those anti-immigrant Republicans who wanted to send them all back to their home countries without thinking about what they would mean to the real estate industry in the US… a drop in demand and home prices that would make the last housing bubble burst look like fizz in a soda bottle.

Peak oil, climate change and pipeline geopolitics driving Syria conflict
Faced with dwindling profits from oil exports and a fiscal deficit, the government was forced to slash fuel subsidies in May 2008 – which at the time consumed 15% of GDP. The price of petrol tripled overnight, fueling pressure on food prices.
The crunch came in the context of an intensifying and increasingly regular drought cycle linked to climate change. Between 2002 and 2008, the country's total water resources dropped by half through both overuse and waste.
Once self-sufficient in wheat, Syria has become increasingly dependent on increasingly costly grain imports, which rose by 1m tonnes in 2011-12, then rose again by nearly 30% to about 4m in 2012-13. The drought ravaged Syria's farmlands, led to several crop failures, and drove hundreds of thousands of people from predominantly Sunni rural areas into coastal cities traditionally dominated by the Alawite minority.
Behind the facade of humanitarian concern, familiar interests are at stake. Three months ago, Iraq gave the greenlight for the signing of a framework agreement for construction of pipelines to transport natural gas from Iran's South Pars field – which it shares with Qatar – across Iraq, to Syria.
The Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline plan is a "direct slap in the face" to Qatar's plans for a countervailing pipeline running from Qatar's North field, contiguous with Iran's South Pars field, through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey, also with a view to supply European markets.
Then from 2010 to 2011, the price of wheat doubled – fueled by a combination of extreme weather events linked to climate change, oil price spikes and intensified speculation on food commodities – impacting on Syrian wheat imports. Assad's inability to maintain subsidies due to rapidly declining oil revenues worsened the situation.
The food price hikes triggered the protests that evolved into armed rebellion, in response to Assad's indiscriminate violence against demonstrators. The rural town of Dara'a, hit by five prior years of drought and water scarcity with little relief from the government, was a focal point for the 2011 protests. http://climatestate.com/2013/05/13/peak-oil-climate-change-and-pipeline-geopolitics-driving-syria-conflict/

The second paragraph is pure agit-prop. Demonstrations were organised by agents of the West and Western financed opposition groups (the US and its allies have been destabilising Syria for years, in time-tested fashion). The demonstrations were fired on by jihadis infiltrated into the country by Qatar and Saudi Arabia (but blamed by the ever-mendacious Western MSM propaganda apparatus on the Syrian Government)whose presence was to stir up civil and sectarian strife in a country where numerous faiths had lived in peace for decades, ie just like Yugoslavia and Iraq. In other words a truly wicked plan to create, foment and intensify civil war.
Devastation of our most important natural capital, our human capital.
Capitslism is killing our future.
Excellent stuff! Sandel is, in my opinion, a moral teacher of a high order, but his message is simply the 'bleeding obvious'. Capitalism is the antithesis of life in that it drives to turn everything in life, with all its wonderful diversity, into the slimy, undifferentiated, uniformity of money, and in doing so it has no morality but greed. The type that excels under such a destructive system are the worst of humanity, as we see every single day, and they are sentencing us all to oblivion.

Add a beach vacation to your NYC trip!
I'd only ever seen Coney Island featured in old Hollywood movies so I half expected to step out in the roaring 1920s as we got out of the subway in Coney Island. In 1884, the very first American rollercoaster was built on Coney Island. In 1903, the famous Luna Park amusement park opened, and in 1927, the Cyclone rollercoaster - today's world's oldest rollercoaster still in operation - opened. A 2.5-mile boardwalk was built along the beach in the early 1920s, and several shops and restaurants were built at that time, including Nathan's Famous hot dog joint (home of the equally famous hot dog eating contest). Coney Island's amusement parks and boardwalk remained very popular until the mid-1940s, after which time began a period of slow decline. By the 1970s, this once bustling area of Brooklyn had practically been abandonned. The City of New York then drew up several revitilization plans, some of which failed, but some of which finally succeeded!
Today, Coney Island might not be back to its former glory yet, but it sure is a fun place to visit on a hot summer day! I very much enjoyed walking along the boardwalk, feeling the refreshing ocean breeze on my face, and walking through the new Luna Park, which opened in 2010 - you don't need to pay to get in, you only pay to get on the rides; and although some might get a kick out of riding the old Cyclone rollercoaster, most of the rides are in fact quite modern. The ones I was interested in cost $7 per person, which I thought was a bit expensive, but given that there are no fees to access the beach (and there are plenty of restrooms available along the beach where you can put on your swimsuit) and that checking out the different shops along the boardwalk is free as well (well, except for the souvenir tank top and the candy I bought!), it turned out to be a very inexpensive and unusual way to spend a day in NYC :o)

Safe, Clean, and Very Nostalgic and Fun!
Quick background....I work in law enforcement, I usually am traveling with my family (2 children), and while I do like to explore and I am adventurous, I want to be safe and I don't want to go anywhere that is too trashy. We visit NYC 2 times a year and we have explored most of Manhattan, some of Brooklyn, & Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. I was on the fence on whether to visit Coney Island or not. Was it going to be worth the trip from Manhattan? So I took to Tripadvisor to read the reviews. After reading some of the reviews, I knew that it was going to be nostalgic and fun, but was it clean and safe? The answer is yes. It was clean and safe, and we had lots of fun on a weekend afternoon. We did not do the beach or swim, but here's what we did do. We took the subway there, which drops you off immediately across the street from Nathan's Hot Dogs and the piers. We walked almost the entire boardwalk. We walked out onto the pier which is full of families, fishers, and dog walkers, we ate at Nathan's which was delicious, we rode the Cyclone roller coaster, which is historic by it self, took tons of photos, and then went back to the city. Here's what I experienced. One homeless man asked me for loose change, then politely moved along. Were there some strange, perhaps shady people? Very few! Less than 1%, and none were causing any trouble or concern. There was nothing that you'll experience here that you won't experience in the subway or in any other urban area in the U.S. By the way, uniformed NYPD was present everywhere, even outside of the public bathroom facilities. I did not use the restrooms, but my family did. Apparently they stunk inside and weren't exceptionally clean, but they were safe and usable. As far as cleanliness....It was pretty clean! The boardwalk was in excellent maintained state. The beach and water had no apparent trash. I suspect that when it's really crowded, people do leave bottles, cans, cigarette butts, etc, and while that's a shame, it happens. It was not the Caribbean, and I would not drink the water, but I was not grossed out. I think that if you have visited all of the NYC tourists sites more than once, and you're looking for something nostalgic and different to do, take a few hours on a nice day and venture over to Coney Island. We really enjoyed it and I think that fans of the NYC area should experience it at least once. Enjoy!
Coney Island-Famous Amusement Park!
One of America's most celebrated beach resorts during the first half of the 20th Century, Coney Island remains a Mecca for summer fun even today.
Coney Island is a peninsula, formerly an island, in southernmost Brooklyn, New York City, USA, with a beach lying on the Atlantic Ocean. The eponymous neighborhood is a community of 60,000 people in the western part of the peninsula, with Seagate to its west; Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east; and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island is a seasonal center operating roughly between Easter and Labor Day. Rides and attraction are generally open on weekends from Easter until Memorial Day, all week long from Memorial Day until Labor Day, and then weekends from Labor Day until the end of September. The beach and boardwalk are open all year round (although lifeguards are only on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day) and Nathan's Hot Dogs and the New York Aquarium are open almost every day of the year. The Coney Island Museum is also open on Saturdays and Sundays, from noon to 5 PM all year round. During the week, rides and attractions may open at noon and run until the late evening. During the weekends, the same rides and attractions open around noon and may run until the early morning.

An old fashioned seaside resort for the masses
(work in progress)
It's difficult to explain why I decided that I needed to visit Coney Island, as it would scarcely feature on the 'must see' list for the vast majority of tourists to New York.
And yet I succumbed to Coney Island's siren call on a breezy Monday in early October. Maybe it was the nostalgic 'boardwalk' factor – a distinctive feature of U.S. beachside culture - and a desire to explore the allure that had inspired musicians artists like Lou Reed, Aerosmith and the Ramones. Or maybe it was the sense of visiting a set from a 'Scooby Doo' movie and my morbid fascination for a vintage rickety roller coaster which made such an almighty clatter that every health and safety alarm was registering 'red alert'.
In all probability, what tipped the balance was a casual reference in the tour of the superb Tenement Museum to what immigrants did for fun in the little free time that they were afforded. The establishment of the subway system not only facilitated the garment industry's transition from homebound sweatshops to factories located at some distance from where the workforce lived, but also allowed the workers to travel to Coney Island on the few days off that they were afforded. The image of overworked labourers flocking from overcrowded ghettoes where their working conditions seldom allowed them to venture outside in daylight hours to enjoy a few hours of fresh air and freedom by the seaside was compelling, and I wanted to follow in the footsteps of the immigrant labourers who paid their dues to the U.S. by means of sweat equity and faith in the vision of a better life.

When I was young, I listened to Lou Reed's 'Coney Island Baby' many times. Since then, I have had a hope to visit there some day. So this time, during my first visit to New York, I took subway, which brought me there in about 1 hour from Central Manhattan.
When the subway came near Coney Island Station, I could see the Ferris wheel and the jet coaster of an amusement park that had been closed years before.
I got off at the last stop and walked straight toward the beach.
The first landmark was the sign of famous hotdog 'Nathan's'. But the first shop I found did not seem to be open. Just in front of the beach there was another Nathan's, where some people were buying coca cola and hotdog.
Coney Island will be a place for New Yorkers to enjoy swimming and sunbathing in summer. There is a beautiful white beach. Sea gulls. A pier jutting out into the sea to take a walk on.
An aquarium. I hear the amusement park are being renewed and will be open soon.
If you are tired from walking too much in the city of NY or from seeing too many great works at Metropolitan Museum, I recommend you to have a visit to Coney Island and rest yourself for a while.

Coney Island
The New York Aquarium first opened on December 10, 1896, making it the oldest continually operating aquarium in the United States. The Aquarium currently occupies 14 acres by the sea in Coney Island, and boasts over 350 species of aquatic wildlife. We enjoy the beluga whales, the shark tanks and the interactive shows with seals and sealions.
Between about 1880 and World War II, Coney Island was the largest amusement area in the United States, attracting several million visitors per year. At its height it contained three competing major amusement parks, Luna Park, Dreamland, and Steeplechase Park, as well as many independent amusements. Today it looks a bit sad and rundown, but we still had a lot of fun. The Wonder Wheel was built in 1918 and opened in 1920, this steel Ferris wheel has both stationary cars and rocking cars that slide along a track. It holds 144 riders, stands 150 feet tall, and weighs over 2,000 tons. At night the Wonder Wheel's steel frame is outlined and illuminated by neon tubes. The Cyclone roller coaster, built in 1927, is one of the nation's oldest wooden coasters still in operation. The Cyclone includes an 85-foot, 60 degree drop. The Parachute Jump, originally the Life Savers Parachute Jump at the 1939 New York World's Fair still stands.
Coney Island still maintains a broad sandy beach that is served for its entire length by the broad Riegelmann boardwalk. A number of amusements are directly accessible from the land side of the boardwalk, as is the New York Aquarium and a variety of food shops and arcades. The position of the beach and lack of significant obstructions means virtually the entire beach is in sunlight all day. The beach is open to all without restriction and there is no charge for use. The beach area is divided into "bays", areas of beach delineated by rock jetties, which moderate erosion and the force of ocean waves. The Coney Island Polar Bear Club is a group of people who swim at Coney Island throughout the winter months, most notably on New Year's Day when additional participants join them to swim in the frigid.
We got a kick out of the Freak Show next to Nathans. We saw men with deformities and "made freaks" that could swallow fire, contort their bodies .. These performers performed magic tricks and daredevil stunts. In addition, the freak show performers might also perform acts or stunts, and would often sell souvenirs like "giant's rings" or "pitch cards" with their photos and life stories. They had a performer who could be viewed for an additional fee.

Go now while you still can!
time is running out to visit the world's greatest sideshow. Yes Coney Island is filthy, rundown and has a constant smell of something leaking from the pipes below. But one thing is definite. Whether it is playing Shoot the Freak, eating a Nathan's Famous hotdog, riding the Cyclone or visiting the freakshow, you will find yourself completely entertained by what Coney Island offers... for a limited time only. Next year Astroland is expected to shut down and Coney Island will receive a long overdue deap cleaning. I am not the only one who will miss the grime.

Anyone who is visiting Brooklyn during the warm months should be obligated to take a stroll through Coney Island. So much of Brooklyn's history, warmth and charm has come from the stories, plays and musicals written about it's neighborhoods. Coney Island is one such neighborhood. It has been featured in numerous movies and TV shows. Coney Island is home to Nathan's Hot Dogs, the best hot dogs in the entire world. It is also home to The Wonder Wheel and the Cyclone. Overall Coney Island has 35 or more rides for visitors to enjoy.
Coney Island is a seasonal center. Coney Island typically operates from Easter through Labor Day. In general rides and attraction are generally open on weekends between Easter and Memorial Day. One the warm weather hits, they are open all week long until Labor Day, and then weekends from Labor Day until the end of September. The beach and boardwalk are open all year round. Be warey though lifeguards are only on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Nathan's Hot Dogs and the New York Aquarium are open almost every day of the year. The Coney Island Museum is also open on Saturdays and Sundays, from noon to 5 PM all year round.
Fireworks are sponsored by Astroland and Deno's Wonder Wheel Park every Friday night at 9:30 during the season. As a rule of thumb, fireworks start the last weekend in June and conclude the Friday before Labor Day. Specific questions about the fireworks should be directed to Astroland (718-265-2100) or Deno's (718-449-8836) directly.
Coney Island also hosts a Saturday Night Film Series sponsored by indiefilmpage.com and Coney Island USA. It. The dates change from year to year, but the location is always the same, The Coney Island Museum at 1208 Sufe Avenue and the time never changes 8:30 PM with doors opening at 8:00 PM. Admission is $5.00 and the popcorn is free.

Coney Island
Coney Island was once a huge attraction. It really isn't quite that anymore, but it's still making a big comeback from how it was ten years ago. Since amusement parks are available everywhere now (unlike in the early days of Coney Island), I'd say it's inescapable that it's now more of an attraction for locals than tourists. Tourists want to see something unique.
Address: Next to Brighton Beach
Directions: By Subway: the last stop on the W, F or Q trains. If you're nervous about finding your way from the subway to the park, see the photo.
Relaxation as a "Business"
Coney Island the New York City "relaxation center".
Physically really not that far from the "madding hordes and crowded stores" of Manhatten in space, but a whole "life style" away in "reality". Sand beaches, board walks, amusment rides, sea and waves (no it is not quite "surf"). ENJOY a totally different "side" of NYC AND of all things!! walking the board walk is FREE (of course the subway ride there is not but, still, for a family, (or anyone!) a walk on the shore in NYC is nice

Mermaid Parade
This is the second year in a row that my boyfriend and I have gone to and participated in the mermaid parade! This time it was June, 2004. It's usually in the last week of june, in Coney Island, and basically its a parade full of people dressed up as mermaids, sea creatures, and anything else freaky they can think of like half-fish drag queens and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mermaids..... for sure the oddest bunch of people I've ever seen in my life, I love it! I myself was a mermaid but my boyfriend was dressed as a 'funky crab'. (I did the costumes by hand, thank you very much!) This year Moby (electronica guy) was King Neptune, leader of the parade. It's right beside Coney Island Beach and you gotta try to Cyclone at Astroland. (rollercoaster) Also the aquarium is cute, better for kids, but I'm a big kid. they got a great walrus there. The freak show was also pretty cool, nothing too insane, but the bug eating was gross. And if they ask you to go to see the speacial feature in the spare room after the show for $2, don't. It's fake.

Software News, Reviews and Photos from CES
Bottom Line: RingCentral is a feature-filled, easy to use service; we just wish their pricing were more straightforward.
eVoice 07.29.2016
Bottom Line: If you need VoIP service in addition to conferencing features, eVoice has everything your small business needs.
Bottom Line: Cisco's WebEx Meeting Center offers a generous free plan, and its paid plans offer plenty of features, but they're relatively expensive.
Bottom Line: Citrix GoToMeeting remains one of the easiest conferencing platforms to use, and the videoconference feature keeps the application relevant, especially as new users and products flood the market all the time.
Bottom Line: Adobe Connect is an easy-to-use videoconferencing app with generous features, but you'll need to use VoIP or a third-party dial-in service for audio.
Bottom Line: PureCloud Collaborate aims to put your entire organization at your fingertips with tools to get organized and keep in touch, but not all features are currently available.
Join.Me 07.29.2016
Bottom Line: A top videoconferencing pick for small businesses, Join.Me has a modern interface that's very easy to use and plenty of features to enhance your online meetings.
Bottom Line: AnchorFree Hotspot Shield Elite lets you easily secure your Web traffic and scored well in my speed tests. It offers reasonably priced lifetime protection, but it doesn't have many servers and its shorter subscriptions are expensive.
Bottom Line: The iCell iPad app gives students an interactive 3D look at several types of living cells, and provides textual descriptions of their internal structures. It's free, but is limited in scope.
Bottom Line: Microsoft OneNote is a free note-taking and syncing app that works on a variety of devices, including Macs. It's not the North Star of note-taking apps, but it squarely takes second place.

i have quite a big space at the sides of my post.
how do i increase the width of the post ?
is the same question for me...
anyone could help us?
Try not to bump threads, not only because it's against the pirate code but because you posted on an empty thread you decreased its visibility to the community. Empty threads are monitored on a special "no-replies list" and some volunteers prioritise answering those threads over other non-empty threads.
Back to the issue, does the Twenty Fourteen theme come with a "Custom CSS" part of the dashboard?
Andrew, you can use this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/
Cool, assuming that means Twenty Fourteen doesn't have a "Custom CSS" part of the dashboard install that Custom CSS Manager plugin.
Then use its section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications:
.full-width .site-content .entry-header,
.full-width .site-content .entry-content {
margin-left: 0;
max-width: 100%;
Andrew, worked very well on desktop website, but what also happens, it changes mobile page width as well.
I wanted to go for 70% on desktop (as 100% breaks the layout), but mobile one has to stay 100%.
Any ideas on this?

I like the idea, but would have liked to see something more eye catching with more production design. Maybe a man on the couch up to his neck in popcorn or an entire room swimming in popcorn.

What you said here Swingin has always bewildered me....
Why ARE right handers made to shape up and lead with their left hand.....and visa versa
for those poor ole paw paws.....who thought this through, or who guided this dominant approach to boxing?
(Well maybe to answer myself..perhaps the science behind the shaping up, is valid.....perhaps a long time ago, the ability to catch punches with your stronger hand was a recognised beneficial method that was duly applied to the sport of boxing........and the right hand held more far off than the left, with all its power, was put back that far so that it might never hit you, with you seeing it coming, and then defusing the power of the right hand by ducking or catching it......Boy ! who ever invented this rule or dominant shape up code was brilliant...he must have been noble man....or the marques of queensbury maybe ??)
i had it explained to me that 'it was like throwing a rock'. your best hand and leg go back to deliver the most power.

Ifill says some fans at Hindmarsh Stadium racially abused him
in an incident being investigated by Football Federation
Australia (FFA) and Adelaide United.
"Bad times poor result and racist abuse from a very small
minority of fans #nothappy," the English-born Barbados
international posted on social network Twitter.
".... It was a small minority no problem with a bit of banter
but a line was crossed today."
Ifill, among the A-League's elite players, was understood to
have been repeatedly called a racially derogatory term when
substituted during Wellington's 3-1 loss to Adelaide.
Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert refused to confirm the racial
nature of the abuse.
"It's not for me to confirm or not," he told reporters
But an Adelaide United spokesman said the club was aware of
the racial abuse.
"We will investigate matter," the spokesman said.
An FFA spokesman said the governing body "will investigate
any incidence of racial vilification".
SA Police and security staff at Hindmarsh Stadium were made
aware of the racial abuse, which came as Ifill was
substituted in the 61st minute.
After the Barbadian was taken off, Phoenix coach Herbert
reacted instinctively by turning around and appearing to look
for those abusing his star player.
But Herbert was reluctant to expand on the racial
"You may want to ask the club (Adelaide)," Herbert said.
"There was a few comments that we have shared with the
(Adelaide) club officials ... with regards to a player.
"It would probably be best to talk to the club, Adelaide."
Herbert said it was not his position to confirm or deny the
racial element of the abuse directed at the highly-respected
The 33-year-Ifill was born in Brighton in England and played
238 games for English club Millwall, including the 2004 FA
Cup final against Manchester United.
Ifill also had stints at Sheffield United and Crystal Palace
before joining Phoenix.

Customer Reviews

Quality, reliability and customer satisfaction are the hallmarks of what we do at Toyota of Greenville. We realize that these three characteristics are inseparable from each other. We treat our customers with respect and check every vehicle that goes out of our service center for problems that may cause issues down the road. Our customers are the reason we are in business, and we want to be the number one choice for all service-related concerns.

We are capable of providing on-time service, and we always provide customers with quotes before beginning work on any vehicle. Our service center can also check for vehicle recall information, and we can get your car repaired right the first time.
Automotive Service In Greenville | Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Greer Toyota Automotive Services
Many local repair shops use aftermarket parts when working on vehicles. The problem with aftermarket parts is that the quality is not guaranteed. When it comes to brake pads, shoes, and tires, aftermarket parts can have a dramatic effect on the handling and control of the vehicle. Vehicle safety ratings can be impacted when a repair isn't completed using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Not all repair shops tell customers when they use aftermarket parts, which puts the responsibility on the customer to be vigilant during any repair.
Our dealership only uses OEM parts to repair vehicles. This ensures that there is no question about the reliability or quality of the parts used. Our service center is open late and on Saturday, which makes it easier for our customers to get their vehicle in for service. Don't risk the resale value or reliability of your car to anything other than approved and certified parts.

Digital Workplace Manifesto (illustrated)
The agenda for the digital workplace is becoming established from an architectural perspective, but what are the things we need to preserve from the employee\worker point of view? Here is our take on a manifesto for employees, contractors and freelancers.
We originally released this last October as a text version inspired (like so many) by the Cluetrain manifesto. We've now produced a graphic version with the help of businessilllustrator.com.
Full image | Text only version
Download and print (PDF; 5.5MB]
The Digital Workplace Manifesto
- Work is no longer a place. Let me be productive where I choose, but respect my home life too.
- Manage the outcome, not the process. Trust that I'm working productively when you can't see me, but hold me accountable for the results.
- The digital workplace should be a pleasure to use. If it's not as good as my digital home life, let me bring in my own devices.
- Collaboration only works if we do it the same way. The best tool is the one we all use, otherwise we create digital divides to match physical ones.
- Let me be myself online. My profile is who I am in the digital workplace, and many of my working relationships may be with people I don't get to meet
- Learning is good for me and the company. Give me the opportunity to acquire knowledge from outside and in, and the chance to use it well
- Not everyone is an early-adopter. Give support and guidance to those that need it, but also freedom to learn by playing for the self-starters.
- Work doesn't stop at the firewall. Our digital workplace should encompass customers, suppliers, partners and contacts.
- Everything should be geared to helping me do the work that matters. Remove the irritants like multiple logins. You know who I am – once I'm logged in I should get everywhere I need to go.
- Working relationships involve understanding each other. Let me express my views and I'll listen to yours
- If I don't like it, I can always leave

We present experiments on bidirectional transmission with 2.5 Gb/s for downstream and upstream data rates over 10 km transmission distance to complete a WDM PON by SOA for ONU and realize the downstream optical signal is reused for upstream transmission. The results show that OAN and ONW is extincted and the extinction ratio (ER) is reduced to 0 db when the output optical of SOA pass through Scheme III module. We were able to achieve the error-free downstream transmission and achieve the error-free upstream transmission with the downstream ER of high to 15 db; the Q value of the downstream transmission is about 36, the Q value of the upstream transmission is about 61.1.

Vita's Fall 2011 Release Date Only Speculation
A press release for Supremacy MMA indicated the game is coming to Vita this fall.
A press release for Supremacy MMA distributed earlier today mentioned a Vita version that is set to be released this fall. This seemingly outed that Vita -- which is currently without a release date of any sort -- is going to be out in a matter of months. As it turns out, the game's publisher claims this isn't an inadvertent announcement of when Sony's new handheld will be released.
In a statement sent to MCV, the fall date was said to be "only speculative." In other words, the fall/holiday release is essentially a placeholder in lieu of an actual release date for Vita, something Sony has avoided announcing for any region. As MCV points out, after mentioning the fall date for Supremacy, the press release states that the console versions will be out in September, followed by a Vita release during "holiday 2011."
On the bright side for 505 Games, this is getting attention for its game that it wouldn't have otherwise received.
Vita, which was priced at E3 last month, is believed to be launching in at least one region before the end of the year. The earthquake in Japan earlier this year reportedly impacted Sony's launch plans, though the company later denied that was the case. Just prior to E3, it was rumored that the system had its specs downgraded and that a 2011 release for Japan was in the works.

Vita, See yaPosted: Jul 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Kitty_Paine
I'm not buying Vita unless it has Silent Hill Games on it. The only reason I have a PSP is because I have Origins, Shattered Memories, and Silent Hill from PSN. Never cared for much of Sony's games except for Silent Hill and Final Fantasy, and individual titles such as Haunting Ground and Rule of Rose. Although I did like Resident Evil 4.

I am getting the PSP Vita when it comes out. I'm not a DS fan, not my cup of tea.

You might think that it's weird that I think that Sony is copying the whole "Handheld 3D" idea, but that's what I think. I do not play Sony, I do Nintendo all the way. But Nintendo should be worried that the PSVita is going to be more sucessful than the 3DS.

I own a DSi and a PSP and both systems have their selling points to me. But personally I don't see much of any reason to buy a 3DS right now and the recent price drop seems to justify my decision to wait. If Sony ends up launching the Vita with a good software line-up and can justify the price for their handheld, unlike Nintendo, they will be in a very good position.

Well, they gotta get this thing out, with tendo making that huge price cut on the 3ds, they are going to start out much more behind than planned.
*edit* What's up with the tramp stamp on every article =P

Bleh who cares...Posted: Jul 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by VDKT
With the 3DS price drop, I don't give a damn about the Vita anymore. Besides, I don't trust entering my personal info on Sony products anymore! They got hacked once... or twice if you count the Sony Pictures page... they'll get hacked again, and I don't wanna be there when it happens.
LOL @ Who CaresPosted: Jul 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by SpinoPrime
I am sure tons of people care. Personally I would take a Vita over a 3DS anyday. Nintendo is not offering the games I am interested in, but Sony is offering me better graphics, dual analog sticks, more media features, and a killer list of games in store like Uncharted, WipEout 2048, and Little Big Planet.

I don't know about you guys but I've been refering to vita as PSV this entire time. It just sounds better IMO. Not that the name is as bad as Wii U...

...you care, so why did you post like you don't? I'm likely skipping out on the Vita for now but will likely buy the redesign (maybe the second one, as the second PSP redesign was pretty nice). Vita is a pretty sweet machine and I hope it gets decent support from developers.

the samsung 605b firmware cannot deal with dvd+rs you must use dvd-rs or change the booktype to dvd-rom when burning a dvd+r and want it to work on a samsung drive of any sort, running the 605b firmware.
