This study was carried out to determine if an association exists between the shape of the lactation curve before it is influenced by the event of conception and the time from calving to conception in Norwegian dairy cattle. Lactation curves of Norwegian Red cows during 5 to 42 days in milk (DIM) were compared between cows conceiving between 43 and 93 DIM and cows conceiving after 93 DIM.
Data from 23,049 cows, represented by one lactation each, with 219,538 monthly test days were extracted from the Norwegian Dairy Herd Recording System, which represents 97% of all Norwegian dairy cows. Besides veterinary treatments, these records also included information on daily milk yield at monthly test days. The data were stratified by parity groups (1, 2, and 3 and higher) and time to conception periods (43-93 DIM and >93 DIM). The sample was selected using the following selection criteria: conception later than 42 DIM, calving season July to September, no records of veterinary treatment and the level of energy fed as concentrates between 8.69 and 12.83 MJ. The shape of the lactation curves were parameterized using a modified Wilmink-model in a mixed model analysis. Differences in the parameters of the lactation curves with different conception times were evaluated using confidence intervals.
Lactation curves characterized by a low intercept and a steep ascending slope and a steep descending slope were associated with early conception across all parities. The peak milk yield was not associated with time of conception.
A practical application of the study results is the use of the shape of the lactation curve in future herd management. Groups of cows with impaired reproductive performance may be identified due to an unfavorable shape of the lactation curve. Monitoring lactation curves and adjusting the feeding strategy to adjust yield therefore may be useful for the improvement of reproductive performance at herd level.
Good reproductive performance is a key element in the modern dairy industry. Norwegian Red is the most common dairy breed in Norway, constituting 94% of the Norwegian dairy cow population and is kept for both milk and beef production [1]. A recent study using 829 animals to investigate the reproductive performance of this breed, reported the following fertility measures after the first artificial insemination. An overall 60-d nonreturn rate of 72.5%, an overall pregnancy incidence of 63.8% and an overall calving rate of 57.2%. Even if these numbers indicate good reproductive performance of the breed, there is some variation in calving to first insemination, 85.3 days (SD ± 41.9) [2]. Management, such as estrus detection and feeding strategy, is of major importance for the reproductive performance in a dairy herd [3, 4]. Management strategies can be difficult to measure and compare in a large scale epidemiological study. The shape of the lactation curve, however, may reflect the feeding strategy in an objective manner [5]. Feeding during the transition period and the upscaling of concentrates fed after calving has been shown to be of importance to the energy balance [3, 5, 6]. Because cows do not conceive as long as their energy balance is decreasing [7], the link between feeding, energy balance and the shape of the lactation curve is also expected to be associated with the time from calving to conception [8].
The calving to conception period is commonly used as a measure of reproductive performance. It consists of the period from calving to first service and the period from first service to conception in cows not conceiving at first service. A prolonged calving to conception period results in an extended lactation period which has been shown to give a higher total milk yield in the current lactation [9, 10]. Even if a long calving to conception period is beneficial in terms of the magnitude of the milk yield in the current lactation, it is still regarded to be a measure of impaired reproductive performance. In terms of milk production, lifetime production is more important than production in individual lactations [11].
The Norwegian cattle breeding organization, Geno, recommends not to start breeding before six weeks after calving. Further, the annual statistics from the Norwegian Dairy Herd Recording System (NDHRS) gives a mean calving to first artificial insemination (AI) time of 86.9 days. This database includes 97% of all Norwegian dairy cows [1].
The lactation curve in dairy cattle describes the pattern of milk yield throughout the lactation period. The shape of this curve and the factors influencing it have been investigated in several studies [12, 13]. To find the association between a reproductive trait and the shape of the lactation curve, the latter needs to be parameterized. Earlier studies have shown that there are several methods available to obtain an estimated lactation curve with good fit to observed data using monthly milk yield records [14–17].
Observing the shape of the lactation curve may be helpful in differentiating factors related to feeding or estrus detection, such as shifting the focus of management interventions to estrus detection if the shape of the lactation curve is considered optimal or vice versa. The aim of this study was to determine whether an association exists between the shape of the lactation curve before it is influenced by the event of conception and the time from calving to conception in Norwegian dairy cattle. The rationale is that there is a relationship between feeding and the shape of the lactation curve. Adjusting the feeding strategy in the first part of lactation may thus optimize the shape of the lactation curve and thereby shorten the time to conception.
Data used in this study were extracted from the NDHRS, which is a single database containing production data, veterinary diagnoses, information on AI and treatments [1]. Daily milk yield and daily amount of concentrates fed are recorded on monthly test days and the test day record also states if the cow was diseased when daily milk yield was measured. The database provides yearly statistics of disease incidences, feeding and production at herd level. The validity of this database is considered high because Norwegian legislation prohibits farmers from using veterinary drugs and requires veterinarians to register all diagnoses and treatments [18].
Sampling from the database was conducted to extract data on dairy cows starting their lactation on or after January 1st, 2005 and ending their lactation no later than February 19th, 2007. Only the first complete lactation from each cow in the period was used and all breeds other than Norwegian Red were excluded. All lactations started and ended with a successful calving and the date of the last AI was used to determine the day of conception. Lactations with a gestation length of less than 269 days or more than 289 days were considered false recordings and deleted (5.0%). Lactations with fewer than 4 monthly milk yield records were deleted (4.1%). If the cow was reported as diseased on test day, if the test day occurred before 5 DIM or if 0 kg milk was recorded on test day, the daily milk yield record was deleted (4.7%).
A study population was selected from the extracted data, including only lactations without records of veterinary treatments (68.31%). From this study population a study sample was selected using the following criteria. Lactations where the first date of AI occurred before the recommended 42 DIM were deleted (4.28%). Lactations with calving recorded from July to September (35.78%), and a mean level of daily energy fed as concentrates between 8.69-12.83 MJ, calculated from amount of concentrates given at each test day (63.39%), were selected for the study.

Study Design and Method
The study was performed as a retrospective cohort study with a closed population at lactation level. To minimize the effect of year, calving season and breed differences the described selection criteria were used to generate the study sample. A modified Wilmink model [16] was used to estimate the shape of the lactation curve adjusted for the effects of time to conception and parity.
A mixed model was run using PROC MIXED (SAS Institute Inc., 2003) with repeated measurements of test day milk yields within lactation nested within herd to account for the cluster effect. A spatial power correlation matrix, SP(POW), with month as time scale was chosen for the repeated statement. The SP(POW) correlation matrix allowed for non-equidistant timepoints and was chosen after evaluating different relevant matrices using the Akaike Information Criterion. Further, the model was run with random regression of the variable describing the natural logarithm of DIM (lnDIM) at herd level to account for herd level variation. A backward selection process with inclusion criteria of P < 0.05 based on the F-test was used to build the final model. Significant two-way interaction terms were included in the final model.

Descriptive statistics of the study sample, with calving season July to September and 305-d lactation mean level of daily energy fed as concentrates between 8.69 MJ and 12.83 MJ, are given in Table 1. The herds in the study population had an average size of 18.7 cow-years and an average milk yield per lactation of 6,665 kg milk. Cow-years were defined as the sum of the number of cows on each day on a farm divided by 365 days, reflecting the mean herd size during one year. Component feeding was commonly used which on average at farm level consisted of 42.0% concentrates, 41.4% grass silage, 14.2% pasture and 2.4% other feedstuffs. Differences in age at calving within each parity were assumed to be influential a priori, but were found to be non-significant. The lactations with early conception were inseminated significantly earlier and significantly fewer times compared to the lactations conceiving late, both in total and within parity groups (Table 1). The fit of the lactation curve generated from the parameters estimated in the model was compared visually with the 95%CI of raw data test day milk yields (Figure 1).
The parameters describing the lactation curve of early conceivers (43-93 DIM) were significantly different compared to the parameters describing the lactation curve of late conceivers (after 93 DIM). Cows conceiving early had significant lower intercept, steeper ascending slope and steeper descending slope compared to cows conceiving late, p < 0.001 (Figure 2 and Table 2). These results were the same across all parity groups. Peak yield as well as peak day, did not differ significantly with conception day groups for any parity group, except for peak day in first parity (Table 2).
The covariance estimates were 0.99 for the correlation matrix and 0.22 for the random regression of lnDIM, which gave intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.058 and 0.013 respectively. This means that repeated measurements and parameter lnDIM contribute 5.8% and 1.3% respectively, to the between herd variation of the model parameters.
In the current study a lactation curve described by a low starting milk yield and a steep slope was associated with early conception across all parities. This concurs with an earlier investigation which found that high early milk yield was associated with a longer period of days open [10]. The present study indicate that this difference is observable before 15 DIM (Figure 2). A too high starting milk yield would presumably maintain the NEB and thereby prolong the time to conception [7]. An increased number of A.I. per conception indicate impaired reproduction (Table 1). The material used, however, could not answer if delayed breeding start is voluntary or a result of silent heat.
The peak milk yield seemed to have no association with the time of conception. Higher milk yield has been associated with longer time to resumption of ovarian activity in high yielding dairy cows in some reports [8, 19, 20]. Other authors have found no [21, 22] or inverse associations between milk yield and recurrence of ovarian activity [23, 24].
In the current study a steep ascending slope early in lactation is associated with early resumption of breeding activity. The biological reason for this might be the found in energy coverage. Earlier studies have found that the change in body condition score and the magnitude of the negative energy balance (NEB) in early lactation are crucial to conception [25, 26]. A steep ascending slope of the lactation curve may be indicative of adequate energy coverage during the early post partum period and thereby early resumption of ovarian activity, found in the current study. An earlier Norwegian study found that cows experiencing early versus delayed resumption of ovarian activity have lactation curves with different slopes as energy balance approaches zero throughout the post partum period [27]. A risk of choosing a feeding strategy based on a high escalation rate of concentrates to ensure adequate energy coverage is the increased risk of indigestion because of too sudden changes in the ruminal environment. Cows of the current study that succeeded in becoming pregnant appeared to have counteracted this negative effect of concentrate as indigestion is likely to lead to lower milk yield and impaired reproduction [28, 29].
A confounding variable not taken into account in the current study, because of the lack of data, is the voluntary waiting period (VWP), which is the time period decided by the farmer before breeding starts. Although the average 305 d yield in the current study was less than 7000 kg, one cannot rule out that a high milk yield early in lactation, might have lead farmers to prolong the VWP to avoid the problems related to drying of in some high yielding cows. On the other hand, a high yielding cow might be looked upon by the farmer as hard to get pregnant and therefore started to be bred earlier i.e. a shorter VWP, which is supported by a high number of A.I in late conceiving cows (Table 1). In other words, management decisions based on high yield early in lactation, consistent with a steep ascending slope, might influence the calving to conception time in either way. However, the principal aim of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between the lactation curve and time to conception in Norwegian dairy cows. The reason for delayed conception may be biological, or managerial, or as is more often the case, a combination of both. Nevertheless, the alteration in the profile of the lactation curve may pose an opportunity of early identification of a herd reproductive problem that reaches beyond estrus detection and A.I. management. When the problems are to be ruled out at the herd level by trained personnel, additional information on voluntary wait, culling policy and feeding management will probably be readily obtainable from the herdsmen.
The current study identified an association between a steep descending slope of the lactation curve and early conception. The reason behind this association might be the negative effect pregnancy has on milk yield [30, 31]. This effect and its magnitude on milk yield is beyond the scope of this paper and we hope to be able to pursue this question in future research programs.
In the current study the lactation curves were estimated by using a modified Wilmink model and the statistical setup of a mixed model using monthly test day records of daily milk yield. A concern with the current method may be that milk records obtained after conception might influence the estimated shape of the curve before conception. The fit of the curves generated from using all milk records to raw data proved to be satisfying (Figure 1). Potential confounding of correlation between test-day milk yields and clustering within lactation was taken care of by running the model with repeated measurements of test day milk yield within lactation nested within herd.
Another concern related to the association between conception time and the shape of the lactation curve is culling of animals because of reproductive failure. The farmer's decision whether to give up on getting a cow pregnant may be influenced by the course of the lactation curve. Cows with a less persistent lactation curve, i.e. a steep descending slope of the lactation curve, may be given up earlier than other cows. This would cause a problem if the primary aim of the study was to assess reproductive performance at herd level. The following reasoning applies to the selection criteria used in the current study where non-pregnant cows and culled cows, 30.2% of the observations, were excluded. The most prevalent reasons for culling are low milk yield, reproductive failure, disease and age [29]. Cows omitted from the study for non-pregnancy are likely to have followed the lactation curve pattern of late conceivers with a high persistency of the lactation curve [30, 31]. Including these cows would probably have emphasized the difference in lactation curve traits between late and early conceiving cows. There might be a risk however, that the late conceivers are overrepresented among high performing cows. The reason for this being the increased likelihood of culling a low performing cow compared to a high performing cow. In the material used in the current study, peak milk yield was virtually equal across calving to conception intervals within each parity category (Table 2), and therefore this bias of performance is believed to be minimal.
Disease is known to have an effect on both milk production [28] and reproductive performance [29]. To avoid the influence of disease on the association, only data from lactations with no records of veterinary treatments (68.3%) were used in the current study. The data used in the current study were obtained from the NDHRS database, which has not been validated yet. A major and currently ongoing Nordic research project will validate all the Nordic dairy health recording systems. There might be problems with non-directional misclassification and measurement errors which weaken the statistical power of the result using non-validated sources. Research has shown, however, that adjusting the sample size can account for this potential loss of power [32] and this is well taken care of by the large sample size used in the current study.
The strength of the current study, using a large representative database and a large sample size, is that the results can be implemented on the study population of Norwegian dairy cattle. One must consider, however, that we have restricted our analysis to certain calving season July to September. The reason for this approach is that internal validity is more important than external validity. We also, however, tested this for different calving seasons and found the same association. Therefore we are confident that an association between the time of conception and the shape of the lactation curve does indeed exist. Plotting daily milk records obtained from the automatic milking system, the shape of the lactation curve might be monitored, adjusted by feeding and optimized for conception. Together with heat detection and insemination technique this is yet another tool to manage the reproductive performance in the dairy herd.
An earlier Norwegian study indicates that there is a dynamic relationship between NEB, milk yield and reproductive performance in dairy cows [27]. The current study results point to the same hypothesis. Starting the lactation with high yield and slightly flatter slope is associated with later conception, despite having the same peak milk yield. A smaller scale controlled clinical trial is required to evaluate possible causation of this association.

BYU football fall practice position preview: Defensive backs
RBN Salt Lake City, UTAug. 1, 2014 11:43 p.m.
You may want to check your facts. Brian Mitchell 36 games Tim McTyer 28 games Aaron Francisco played 75 games. Those are aberrations. Also, the comment was more than anything else a commentary on Duckhunter's know it all attitude, and has comment the previous day about Utah linebackers. The language was pretty much verbatim.
BlueHusky Mission Viejo, CAAug. 1, 2014 2:52 p.m.
This is a college team, and as such, only a few can expect to play pro football. But the 1984 team put 8 or 9 guys into the pros and last two years #5 and high 2nd round picks plus a lot of walk-ons. Not bad for a mid major-team not worthy of Big Boy status.
Just win.
rj Moss, NorwayAug. 1, 2014 7:20 a.m.
RBN, check your history books. BYU isn't a DB factory, but over the years they have produced a few NFL-caliber corners and safeties (Brian Mitchell, Tim McTyer, Aaron Francisco...). They have depended heavily on JC transfers with more athleticism than most home-grown talent, but even some of their own freshmen have gone on to have productive careers.
I like this group. They're deep, athletic and experienced. If they're not NFL material, they're at least a solid college unit.
idablu Idaho Falls, IDJuly 31, 2014 11:23 p.m.
Will we see more cover 1 (man2man) or will Bronco still have his corners 10 to 15 yds off the receiver?
It sounds like with all the kids playing safety, they need to convert some of them to corner, a much more difficult position.
RBN Salt Lake City, UTJuly 31, 2014 3:24 p.m.
This looks like another homer view of BYU's defensive backs. BYU has no history of recruiting or developing backs. Other than Daniel Sorenson, there is not history of putting backs in the NFL. The jury is still out on Daniel. I'm sure Duckhunter agrees with me.
Bountiful Guy Bountiful, UTJuly 31, 2014 2:39 p.m.
I look forward to a good season. We'll know only when they hit the field how good they are. Go Cougars.
RockOn Spanish Fork, UTJuly 31, 2014 1:13 p.m.
Best backfield overall and with stars and star potential since the Cotton Bowl team with Dewey Grey. They are going to give the D-line significant confidence which makes a big difference in taking chances in how you rush the QB. No one can predict intereceptions (many fall into your lap if you're in the hunt), but I will predict many incomplete passes and fumbles from hard hits.

We were BUSY this week. The sun was shining all week, the weather was warm and I felt a need to clean, clean, clean. Now all I want to do is sleep, sleep, sleep.
Saturday Maddie had a build at Lowe's and made an adorable heart shaped music box. No fingers were hammered, it was a good day.
Sunday was the start of my need to clean. With Brandon's help we scrubbed the fridge clean. I ♥ it all clean and shiny! Daddy attempted to teach Maddie how to play checkers too, one can only play so many rounds of Cootie. We opted to have our special Valentine's Day dinner on Sunday too so we weren't rushed when hubby got home from work Monday night. Mad's favorite? The giant frosting covered chocolate chip cookie cake she picked out.
Operation Clean House continues on Monday with bathrooms and the dreaded playroom. I spent two hours on the floor cleaning out junk. Tons of junk. It's pretty and clean now. Maddie had a special Muffin Tin Monday meal and I had a chance to kick up my feet and relax a bit.
Tuesday- grocery shopping. We spend way to much time with Madison debating the values of different granola bars. I made some homemade sugar scrub per Martha's recipe from Whole Living- works good, smells bad. Can I just say screw the Girl Scout samoa cookies when I can have the Caramel Coconut Fudge FiberPlus bars, Yum!! Milo 'helped' with laundry.
Wednesday was more cleaning but I also managed to enjoy a cup of coffee and homemade biscotti while Maddie painted. Read a newspaper?! Who knew that could happen! We took our weekly trip to the library too. Despite the gorgeous warm weather Maddie still insisted on dressing like she was headed out on an Alaskan expedition- I was in flip flops.
Thursday we headed to Virginia Beach for Maddie's monthly art class at the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia. This month the kiddos made cakes! Maddie told me to remember to make her wedding cake exactly like the one she designed. Of course art class meant lunch at Chick-fil-a, I didn't complain. Gorgeous weather meant a nice long walk for Milo and a trip to the playground for Maddie!
Friday was busy, busy again. A trip to the zoo early in the morning. An attempt at nap time- I promise our dog does more than just sleep. A shopping trip to Carter's- I am pretty sure baby Zoey is set for a while now! Oh yeah did you see that temp.... 82 degrees!!! We headed back to Virginia Beach to get my Kindle replaced, dinner at Schlotzky's and a gorgeous trip to Mount Trashmore for fun at the new playground! I told you we were busy!

"(waiting for it in the mail)"... he says that me and him could go to the currency exchange and get it registered no problem! But i was under the assumption you need a valid title to get a car tagged. i am wondering if this is a too good to be true deal. stolen? i dont know. i need some answers!

Light & fluffy homemade waffles flavored with orange juice, then topped with fresh blueberries, orange zest, and warm vanilla syrup. The kind of breakfast you want to wake up to every morning!
We currently have a bit of an obsession going on over here…..and no, it's not with waffles. It's with those tiny little mints and candies called Ice Breakers. They're all my kids can think about!
Or at least it feels that way to me. They talk about them incessantly ("EVERYONE has them, Mom…..") and look for opportunities to buy them ("I'll use my OWN money!!") And on the rare occasion they happen to find an unclaimed container of them laying around the house…..well…..it's like they hit the jackpot!
Now. Clearly there are worse things my kids could be obsessed with. Tiny little mints do not need to be high on my list. But here's the deal. They're kind of expensive…..and my kids end up going through them like nobody's business…..and, call me crazy, but I don't really love the idea of them having their own little stash of candies/mints/whatchamacallits at their disposal. (Does that make me a control freak?)
See, in my ideal world, my kids would be obsessed with only wholesome things…..like these Blueberry Orange Waffles and other such breakfast treats. And I would be able to say things like, "Don't you think that sweet breakfast was treat enough?" and they would agree….and when we went to the store, they'd be interested in things like books and flashcards and math games, instead of Ice Breakers. Ha! Do I sound like enough of a crazy person yet?
I know I can't control their interests (obsessions) now or ever….but what I can do is make delicious breakfasts. And these Blueberry Orange Waffles are just that. The rest? That's up to them.
Blueberry Orange Waffles
- 1 3/4 c. flour
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 c. milk
- 3/4 c. orange juice
- 1/2 c. oil
- 2 egg whites
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- zest of 1 orange
- 1 pint fresh blueberries
- For syrup:
- 1/2 c. maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks slightly. Stir in milk, orange juice, oil, vanilla, and orange zest.
Add egg yolk mixture to dry mixture and stir just until moistened.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold egg whites into other mixture, leaving a few white streaks. Do not overmix!
Pour batter onto a preheated, greased waffle maker.
Top with fresh blueberries and warm vanilla maple syrup.

Chinese producers of solar power equipment on Friday rejected an American anti-dumping ruling in a case that threatens to worsen U.S.-Chinese tensions. They warned proposed punitive tariffs might hurt efforts to promote clean energy.
The United States and China have pledged to cooperate in developing renewable energy but accuse each other of violating free-trade pledges by subsidizing their own manufacturers.
"Tariffs are disruptive and destructive for the entire solar industry," said chairman Miao Liangsheng of Yingli Green Energy Holdings Ltd., one of China's biggest solar equipment manufacturers, in a statement.
Yingli and two other manufacturers, Suntech Power Holdings Co. and Trina Solar Ltd., rejected Thursday's preliminary Commerce Department ruling that they sold solar cells and panels below fair price in the United States and hurt American producers.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued an announcement labeled "Warning" to solar equipment makers with details of the U.S. ruling but made no comment on it. The ministry did not respond to questions about how Beijing might respond.
If the ruling is upheld, tariffs averaging 31 percent could be imposed on Chinese solar-panel imports.
Such duties "are not justified by fact," said Andrew Beebe, Suntech's chief commercial officer, in a statement.
China's producers of solar cells and equipment grew to be among the world's biggest over the past decade as they supplied demand from Germany, Spain and other markets that promoted solar power.
Foreign competitors complain Chinese manufacturers get improper government support in the form of low-cost access to land, bank loans and other resources. Beijing acknowledges giving research grants and tax breaks but says those are in line with its free-trade commitments and practices by other governments.
"These duties are unwarranted and serve as an impediment to the broader adoption of solar energy in a time of rising fuel costs," said Trina's chief commercial officer, Mark Kingsley, in a statement.
The Commerce Department launched its investigation in November following complaints by a group of U.S. producers led by Oregon-based SolarWorld Industries America Inc., a unit of Germany's SolarWorld AG.
The complaints were amplified by attention surrounding the bankruptcy of solar-panel maker Solyndra LLC after the California-based company received a $528 million U.S. government loan. Solyndra cited Chinese competition as one of the reasons behind its failure.
The Chinese government responded by launching its own probe last November into whether U.S. government support for producers of wind, solar and other renewable energy technology is an improper trade barrier.
Chinese solar equipment manufacturers warned earlier that sanctions could result in a loss of American jobs because U.S. companies are both buyers of Chinese products and suppliers of materials. They said Chinese manufacturers spend some $2 billion a year to buy materials such as polysilicon from U.S. suppliers.

I have to report that this month I found " The One". Yep, you guys know what I'm talking about, that "perfect for your skin type, lasts all day, makes you look like a goddess" holy grail foundation. Interested? Then keep reason for a rave on the Laura Mercier Silk Cream Foundation.
I'd been searching for a winter foundation for a while now. You all know in the summer I'm strictly a TM kinda gal. But in the winter my skin lacks radiance (9hours a day in the office = not so great skin). I've dabbled in a few different medium/full coverage foundations, but the finishes and lasting power just weren't right for me. Cue Laura Mercier, I love their TMs so I thought I'd give their foundations a whirl!
The Silk Cream foundation is a medium/almost full coverage foundation. Upon applying for the first time, I thought it appeared similar to the YSL touché éclat foundation, cue disappointment. I looked away from the mirror for a second and when I looked back it had set into a not quite matt, but luminous finish. My skin has never looked so flawless.
To top it all of it has amazing lasting power and the colour match is perfect! It costs around the £30 mark, which I'm happy with for the quality.
Naturally not everyone is going to love this as much as I do, one of my closest friends hates it. Let me know your thoughts on it if you have tried it!

A big one was the dialer - the screen would time out and if I needed to make a selection like, "press 4 for customer service", I would have to push the power buttonm and the phone would hang up. I also like to go to other screens on the phone while talking via the bluetooth headset. Couldn't do it with CM6 if the screen timed out without hanging up on the person. Voicemail - I flashed the sprint apk to get visual voicemail back but the notifications were screwy and always sent a text message notification even though I had blacklisted the number. It also did not seem much faster than Fresh 2.3 and ate just as much battery or even more even with the Colin battery tweak flashed. Finally, the browser that came with it would never open without a force close. Oh well, maybe it will get tweaked some more or maybe the EVO is in my future.

The novel is about Yakov Bok, a Jewish handyman or "fixer". While living in Kiev without official papers, Bok is arrested on suspicion of murder when a Christian boy is killed during Passover. Jailed without being officially charged and denied visitors or legal counsel, Bok is treated poorly and interrogated repeatedly. Among other things, he is asked about his political views, and replies that he is apolitical. During his many months in jail, he has time to contemplate his sad life and human nature in general. He finally finds it in his heart to forgive his former wife, who left him just before the novel began. This act of forgiveness is symbolically important in Bok's spiritual growth.
The novel ends with Bok finally being charged and brought to trial. In the final scene, on his way to court, he has an imaginary dialogue with the Tzar. Bok blames the Tzar for ruling over the most backward and regressive regime in Europe. He also famously concludes "there is no such thing as an apolitical man, especially a Jew."

Euro / Pound Correction Resumes
This is the count that we have working with for some time. Clearly, the dominant trend has been up since January 2007 but that does not mean that we can't play the short side from time to time. We view the rally from .6679 as wave 3 within the 5 wave advance from .6535 (January 2007 low). A large wave 4 correction is underway now. The first two legs of that correction are complete and the third leg will bring price below .7766. Measured support is at .7656, just before a large congestion zone.
The hourly chart zooms in on price action since the wave 3 top at .8097. Corrections unfold as 3 wave structures (A-B-C). Wave A was down to .7766 and wave B ended right at the confluence of the 61.8% of .8097-.7766 / where c = a within B. The confluence of these measurements (along with psychological resistance at .80) makes the case for a bearish bias against the figure.

Colombia plane crash: Tragic goalkeeper Danilo's final call to wife just before death
THE Brazilian goalkeeper who was killed in a plane crash in Colombia made a final heartbreaking call to his wife a few moments before he died.
Chapecoense player Danilo Padilha, 31, survived the initial plane disaster which has now claimed 71 lives.
Heartbreakingly he died just after speaking to his wife on the phone from a hospital bed in Medellin, Columbia.
Pictures posted of the couple just four weeks ago saw Danilo refer to his wife as "my love".
"In not long, we'll be arriving in Colombia"Alan Ruschel
Other heart-wrenching images show the star alongside his young family.
Members of the Chapecoense team who did not make the trip were pictured breaking down in despair as they heard the news that Flight LMI2933 had crashed.
Final footage and selfies were taken of the team on board the doomed flight to the final of Copa Sudamerica – South America's second biggest cup.
Defender Alan Ruschel, who was sitting next to Danilo in an Instagram video, said: "In not long, we'll be arriving in Colombia. We're coming Colombia."
Behind them rows of travellers and fellow players can be seen relaxing and sleeping.
Tragically the players had changed flights at the last minute for an unknown reason.
Five minutes before the plane was due to land in Columbia, it crashed in the remote location.
The team posted on Twitter: "Total desolation in the cloakroom of Chapecoense.
"The players who did not make the trip, devastated. What a f***ing day."
One player learnt he was to be a dad just a week before the plane crash.
The crash happened near the town of La Ceja in a remote area of Colombia.
Authorities struggled in treacherous weather conditions in the remote area for hours before confirming the death toll.
Six survivors were rescued from the crashed flight, but one died later in hospital.
People have gathered in the club's home town of Chapeco to mourn the enormous loss.

This album just never lets up. There is absolutely no break whatsoever from the thrash/death assault - maybe for a minute or two they will play something at a speed less than 9000mph, but that is not too often. That being said, this is a damn good, but very repetitive album. After the fifth or sixth track, they all blend together. But considering the mix of two styles is done so well and so relentlessly, the repetition is pretty bearable.
The first thing I thought when I heard this was - VADER meets THE HAUNTED at their most serious. The vocals have that mid-range but hard sound like Morbid Angel / Vader, and the way the singer shouts his words even sounds a lot like the dude from VADER. I think he even says, "Right!" once or twice on the album, which is an utterance fans of the "Blood" EP will recognize. The thrashy riffs are a lot harder than the Haunted can usually bust out, and are quite often more complex than most in the genre. That still doesn't save them from sounding similar as the disc goes on. The drums are probably the highlight here though - DAMN, this dudes whoops some ass.
So pick it up - "One By One," "Cities of the Dead," "Acts of Rage," "Destination Hell," and the extra track "Force Fed" will have you looking stupid if you are wearing headphones. Enjoy.
I first heard for dew-scented on last year's metal camp. The name didn't catch my interest. But I went to see them anyway. I fell in love on the first sight. One word: aggressive energy. So I bought Impact. I kind of knew what to expect. But what I've got was much more. The first track already bursted out with great speed and brutality. And then.. The second track, oh my satan! Amazing fast and sharp riffs, incredible drumming and then comes my favourite part on the whole CD, when Jensen shouts: « Welcome new found paiiiin!!!" followed by a blast beat that always turns my insides upside down. The next track is destination hell, again a very good thrash/death track. Soul poison has totally amazing riffs which could cause a heart attack on a weak hearted person. A track so packed with aggression that almost makes you grab a hammer and go break something. And there comes the fifth track. Cities of the dead. Starting with a bit slower riffs, but not for long, they soon become faster and faster. The drums rage together with the guitars. And here lies another great part: « Retribution, resolution, go!!!!" first the drums, the guitar joins in and we have a killer track. Down my neck is a bit boring to be honest. One by one also makes you break things like soul poison so the down my neck track is forgiven. Agony designed like all the tracks before again shows the abnormal talent of the drummer and a nice guitar solo....and so on...and so on...overall, Impact is a fast aggressive death/thrash release streaming highly towards death metal. It s filled with energy, speed and aggression, that makes you do brutal things like banging your head against the wall (not that I have tried).
I first got into this band less then a year ago, when I checked out their previous CD, Inwards after it was recommended to me. While Inwards is a great CD in it's own right, several of the riffs sound similar and it seems like the band was partially recycling the same ideas on some of the songs. Noneless, Inwards was easily good enough to get me to look forward to the release of Impact and buy it as soon as it was released. Soon after the first song Acts Of Rage kicked off, I sensed that this is a more technical and brutal CD than Inwards. It seemed to have an almost death metalish feel to it, which was confirmed when the fist blast beat of the CD kicks in at a little bit after 0:40. As a death metal freak, this was a welcome change to me, as much as I liked the other CD. Act Of Rage is a great opener, and definitely a highlight of the CD. The Next Song, New Found Pain thrashes on in much the same fashion with a fast, thrashy as fuck main riff and occasional death metal blast beat passages. Again, it is one of the srongest tracks on the CD. Some of the tracks, such as track 4, Soul Poison seem very Slayer influenced, but this is by no means a bad thing. Yes, Dew Scented have occasional Slayer-isms in their music, but they are by no means a Slayer carbon copy, with their frequent death metal riffing and blasting. Dew Scented take elements of Slayer, death metal, classic German thrash, and At The Gates style Swedish metal to create their own modern sound. Yes, they are a German thrash band, by they by no means sound dated, and prove that the genre of thrash is still alive and has room for innovation. Impact hardly has any weak points, the only one being the cover song Hobbit Motherfuckers - a punkish sounding tune that does not at all fit with the rest of the CD. It is one of the best releases of 2003. A modern thrash masterpiece that truly borders on death metal, It has the potential to appeal to both thrash fans and death metal fans. I would recommend this CD to any metalhead.

Complete Guide To Recalling And Memorizing Dreams And Developing Creativity Using The Magnetic Memory Method
With "How to RemeMber Your Dreams" you'll:
Develop the right mindset EVERY night before going to bed using a simple and fun ritual that will build unbreakable trust between you and your dreaming mind. (There's a right way and a wrong way to approach self- encouragement, so this is your chance to get it right from the start.)
The #1 SIMPLEST way to record your remeMbered dreams, plus three nearly obnoxious alternatives that you'll want to avoid. (Believe it or not, but your mind actually WANTS you to record your dreams in this way.)
Incubate your dreams for further contemplation and interpretation using the Magnetic Memory Method. This is a process that lets people who are brand spanking new to memory techniques quickly learn to recall massive amounts of important information. It's bewildering how few people know how to use these techniques, and yet anyone can do them, at any age, any place and any time.
Use dream recall to help organize your thoughts throughout the day so that you can focus on what REALLY matters in life. (Do things right and this little known aspect of having advanced dream memory skills will sharpen your concentration so that you can finally get things done without being constantly interrupted by random thoughts).
Learn the secret link between remeMbering your dreams and controlling your emotions. (It's a statistical fact that most people have very little influence over how they feel, but correct dream recall is a "fool proof" way to understand your feelings and reactions and become their master.)
Discover how to "read" the syMbols in both your sleeping and waking thoughts. You can literally program your brain to understand your personal palette of images to gain deeper self-understanding and open the doors of better communication between yourself and others.
Become more open to new ideas. (In fact, you won't be able to resist becoming more open-minded because being able to remeMber your dreams will increase your curiosity and interest in everything, which in turn makes you a more interesting person to everyone else you encounter!)
Develop your visual memory so that you can develop other amazing memory skills.
How to use free dream apps to dramatically increase your dream recall. (Many of the best dreams are "captured" using software in today's day and age of technology - though you'll also learn when to avoid apps in favor of organic methods as a caution against taking tech to bed).
How to take the anxiety and pressure off of remeMbering your dreams. (It's not a competition, after all, and yet some people "choke" under the pressure they place on themselves when trying to achieve their dream recall goals).
How to recall dozens of dreams, memorize them and still sleep in as late into the day as you please! (Obviously, you have to learn the techniques taught in this course first, BUT miss this obvious lesson and you might wind up failing to get into your own psychology with the depth and intensity that you deserve.)

Twinings has been blending my family tea for years. Today, I am proud to continue this tradition with the tea celebrated throughout the world known as Twinings Earl Grey. Legend has it that my ancestor, the second Earl Grey, was presented with this exquisite recipe by an envoy on his return from China.
Fine black tea perfectly balanced with the distinctive flavour of bergamot, a citrus fruit.
Tea Bags
To savour the full flavour of our teas, bring water to boil, and pour over the tea as soon as it reaches boiling. Over-boiling will cause oxygen to be reduced, making the tea taste "flat". Brew 2-5 minutes or to desired taste.
Using a Keurig® Brewer, press the 175ml - 250ml brew button for optimal flavour. Add cream, milk, sweetener or enjoy as is.
*We do not recommend using a microwave to boil your cup of water.

In the recent days, there has been an upsurge in the number of furniture stores in Singapore. This has been enhanced by the increased demand of different pieces of furniture by many homeowners. Therefore, when you are looking for your favorite piece of furniture, it will not take you long before you get one where you can do the shopping. Just like in any other market with the many Singapore furniture stores; there are those that can offer you the best experience when doing your shopping and others that will not. This is why you need to apply due diligence to ensure that you only do the shopping from only the best furniture shops. Follow these guide to get the best Singapore furniture Stores.
Get information from customers
Customers who have bought pieces of furniture before you can act as the best source of information on the best furniture stores to do the shopping from. They will provide you information on the best shops where you can do the shopping to find if you will be able to get the exact piece of furniture that you want. However, you need to ensure that you seek information from only those customers that you can depend on to offer information you can rely on. If you want to order online, you need to take your time to look for comments and reviews regarding the different Singapore furniture stores in Singapore. Make sure that you only rely on the reviews given by past customers instead of depending on those given on blogs or magazines. If the customers are pleased on the pieces of furniture provided, they will definitely say so. On the other hand, if they are not pleased, they will also give the exact information. These are the details that you require to decide on the best furniture stores where you can make the order.
The best way to find these reviews is use of search engines to get forums, going through the different furniture stores comments section. You can also use different social media sites such as Google+, facebook, twitter among others to understand what other customers view the products offered by the different furniture stores. You can also determine the best shop by looking at one that offer response to the comments given by customers. This shows that the furniture shop is concerned in offering high-quality pieces of furniture to customers and satisfying them.
Call and make enquiries
Most Singapore furniture stores offer their contact details. The best stores are those that offer their phone numbers that you can call and make any form of enquiry that you need to. By just making a call, you will be able to determine if the store is a perfect one according to how they respond to your questions. Make sure that you talk with a real person especially when you are making the enquiries from an online furniture store. The other thing that will show you that you are dealing with a great store is that you will get all the information that you need. The contact person must be knowledgeable regarding all the pieces of furniture they offer. They should also be wiling to inform you about their exact location where you can visit.
Look at products details and photos
As you do the search for your favorite furniture, it is good that you have a thorough look at the photos and detail of all the pieces offered by the different stores. Have a look at all photos and information regarding the piece of furniture that you want to buy. Be sure to check the design, materials, style and other descriptions of the pieces of furniture. It is also vital that you also consider the price. Good Singapore furniture stores should provide photos that show all the details in the bets way possible.
Check for details regarding their shipping date, guarantee provided, warranty and what happens if the furniture gets danged in the process of shipping. Buying from online furniture stores offers the best option in that you will not go through a lot of hassles and limitations that you might face if you do your shopping from physical Singapore furniture stores. You also buy the piece of furniture at a more reduced price from the online stores compared to what you buy from physical stores.
Check for warranties and guarantees
Good Singapore stores also provide customers with furniture guarantees and warranties. It is good to ensure that your store offers these because this is a good demonstration that they have confidence and trust with the products they offer to their clients. The best furniture store in Singapore is that one, which offers warranty with the longest period of time. If you find a store that is not willing to offer warranties and guarantees, you need to avoid them because the quality of the pieces of furniture they offer might not be the best. They know that they may not last for a long time and this is why they do not offer such high discounts.
The other most important thing you should not fail to look is if the stores offer money back guarantees. By buying from such a store, you are assured that you have insured your money if you get a piece of furniture that does not offer you the level of satisfaction you need. Most reputable furniture store in Singapore will offer this as a way of trying to stand out from other competitors.
Bottom line
Above all the above factors that you need to consider, it is vital that you ensure that you know the exact kind of piece of furniture that you need to invest in. It will not be of any use even if you get the best Singapore furniture stores, but you end up buying the wring furniture. Therefore, be sure that you have the design, style, dimensions and other features that you would like in your piece of furniture at hand as you do the shopping.


text: I went into my phone settings to check out the signal strength, and I'm at -89 dBm. I tried to research whether or not that's a good signal, but I can't find anything. What number indicates a strong signal? Also, for anyone concerned about the "lack of bars" and the jumping between 3G and EVDO/1x, the Palm Pre Plus did it too. At first I thought the Palm was defective (and Verizon didn't explain otherwise), so I had it replaced. Turns out, it was fine, it just didn't accurately display signal strength. Whoops

First off, let me just say this: CONGRATULATIONS, LISA! Today is her official release date for her book, Whistlin' Dixie in a Nor'easter. I've been waiting for this book for months--and not just because Lisa and I share an editor and an agent. I think once I buy it, I'm simply going to stare at the gorgeous cover for awhile--possibly also pet it. It's still so cool to me that I can walk into a bookstore and see not only my own book, but point to a bunch of others and squeal, "I know her! Like, for real!"
The fabulous Lisa has chosen "The Craziest Thing We've Ever Done" as her release week topic. Now, I have to admit, there are so, so many stories that I would love to share, but...no. Many, many of them occured in college and while I don't mind incriminating myself, I'm sure my friends don't want all of our crazy stories aired publicly. Although, many of the scenes in A Bump in the Road were, shall we say, inspired by true life.
One thing I can talk about, without fear of death threats from my friends, is this crazy dream I had way back in 2005. I decided that I was going to write a book; that I was going to write 80,000 related words. Not only the act of writing, I was going to get this book published. I'd never written a book before, but no matter. It was going to end up on store shelves.
Looking back, I was probably totally insane to think I could just sit down, write a book, and poof! everything else would fall into place. Knowing what I know now--things like market saturation, editor layoffs, poor sell-through and teeny tiny advances, it's a wonder that anyone gets published, let alone a debut writer with her first book.
But that innocence was what pushed me forward. I mean, of course my book was going to be published and of course people would like it, right? We can all snicker a little now, thanks to the wisdom of having lived through our respective book launches. But I sometimes miss my publishing naivete.
I was just a writer who had a messy manuscript with an unshakable dream of publication. Scratch that--it wasn't even a dream. It was the knowledge that I would be published, some way and some how.
Funny sometimes how the craziest things we do in life turn out to be the best, huh?
