Keyes karate students experience Winnipeg
Exchange program gave students chance to see Canada
Sensei Kim Marshall was part of a worthwhile exchange program this summer.
Marshall is the chief instructor of the Meibukan Gojyu Karate Winnipeg Dojo (2577 Portage Ave.), teaching Winnipeggers martial arts. But this summer, he also taught four pupils from Keyes, Calif.
Marshall and his friend and fellow karate instructor Edward Persike put together the exchange program. Persike, sensei at the Meibukan studio in Keyes, sent four students, aged 11, 12, 14, and 15, to Marshall's dojo. The four students stayed with families that attend Marshall's studio.
"I thought I would make a difference and I conned my dear friend Kim into doing it," Persike laughed.
In all seriousness, Persike and Marshall created the exchange program to provide a fun and meaningful experience for youth in Keyes.
Persike's karate school is located in a poor community. Forty per cent of students don't graduate from high school, and the unemployment rate is 50%.
"So I thought, what a great experience if these kids could participate in a foreign exchange student program. I talked to Kim Marshall and said, 'This is what I want to do: I want to bring a few children to Canada, but I need for you to find them families to take them in and take care of them,'" Persike said.
Persike gathered the money necessary to send the four students to Winnipeg by fundraising and asking his clients for money. Not only was Persike able to pay for their plane tickets, but he also sent them to Winnipeg in uniform.
"They really came to Canada (looking like) a team," Marshall said.
The children spent a total of 10 days in Winnipeg, training at Marshall's dojo for seven of those days and camping at St. Malo Provincial Park with the rest of the students.
When the children returned to Keyes, their parents and families noticed drastic changes in their personalities.
"Each of the parents said, 'My child is different,'" Persike said. "They said they're more intense. They can't wait for school to start. They want to go to college."
One of the students even wanted to permanently move to Canada.
"The weather in mid-July is wonderful, so they wanted to immigrate. Guys, winter ends in June and probably starts in late September," Persike chuckled.
This is the first exchange to happen between the Winnipeg and Keyes studios, but the senseis have already started talking about next year's exchange. One of the things they plan on changing is increasing the number of students travelling to Winnipeg for the program.

Greetings guys...
I have a question which might concerned with a health issue here. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask or not but anyway...
I'm a gamer. To be exact a fighting games player. I play Ultra Street Fighter 4, well, I guess everyday. I play KOF XIII, Skullgirls, Injustice, Capcom Vs SNK 2, and other games occasionally, but I can say that Street Fighter 4 has been my favourite since vanilla.
But lately, I got interested in Street Fighter X Tekken. I had the game all along since few weeks after it's released, but I kinda less interested to play the game maybe because of its system. I kinda dislike (at first) the way that I can easily press LP, MP, HP, HP, HP in order to perform launcher combo. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that the game sucks. The game is pretty cool to be honest. I'm the one who suck at playing it. By the way, I got interested on SFxT lately because I watched the tournament video on Youtube and I can see the right way to play the game which is awesome. I honestly feel the game enable us to pick any characters that we like, and learn how to make them an effective tag team. It feels like we don't have to learn the 'specific' way/combo to make the team works, instead we have the freedom of combo as long as we enjoy the game. That's my opinion on SFxT.
Back to main point, well, I found that I have a problem everytime I play SFxT. I thought that the problem just happened to me one or two time, but it happened almost everytime. I had this kinda 'blurry vision' after playing the game for like 15-20 minutes. Noted that I didn't play games too close to the screen or in a dark room. I can consider that my room has a good lighting and I play at a safe distance from the screen. But this blurry vision just keep happening everytime I play SFxT after a while. I never had the same problem playing other games. I even play USF4 for few hours (sometimes 3-4 hours) and never had the same problem. This 'blurry vision' worrying me, and I couldn't play SFxT for more than one hour as I afraid that my eyes will 'burn'.
So what I need to know is, what is the real reason behind my 'blurry vision' issue everytime I play SFxT? I might consider the brightness/contrast level of my screen, my distance while playing the game with the screen, but if those are the reasons, I would definitely have the same problem with other games too. Or, I'm guessing that SFxT is face-paced, has a lot of things going on the screen, particles bursting everywhere, flashes, or I don't know what else which can cause this problem. Or is it? If that is the reason, what problem do I actually have? Brain? Eyesight? I'm guessing that I will have the same problem if I play UMvC3 (which I don't play) because that game is even more chaotic.
So anyone out there having the same issue? Or is there anything that I should do? Any solution? Because I would love to play this game deeply because I started to enjoy the game so much.
Btw, sorry for my bad English. I tried my best.

Meet 'Super Autobiographical Memory' man who can remember everything
London, Mar 25 (ANI): Bob Petrella, a 58-year-old Los Angeles TV producer, has the ability to remember just about anything that's ever happened in his life.
Bob can remember up to half the days of his own life in shockingly vivid detail.
His astonishing abilities became known to scientists when he put himself forward for a study about memory taking place at the University of California last year.
After analyses, he was diagnosed with a condition called hyperthymestia, meaning overdeveloped memory, sometimes dubbed as Super Autobiographical Memory, which has been discovered in just four people around the globe.
Scientists are still baffled as to how and why it happens and no cases have yet been recorded in the UK.
Petrella first discovered his amazing talent at primary school, when he could pass every test easily without even revising.
"I always had this amazing memory but I never liked to advertise it or boast to strangers. People often assume I have something called Savant syndrome, where people have an special gift such as a good memory, or they think I'm just lying," The Telegraph quoted him, as saying.
He added: "But this memory thing is just something I couldn't explain. It's something I've always lived with, so I'm just used to it. I remember things best when they interest me, whether that's sporting events, or historical or political dates, or just good days I've had in the past.
"I can remember between a quarter and half of every month since I was five. I remember everyone's telephone number. I lost my cell phone on September 24, 2006. A lot of people would panic if they lost their phone because they have all these numbers stored in there. But didn't have any numbers in my cell phone because I have them stored in my head."
Petrella remembers the details of all of his birthdays since the age of five, apart from two, along with every New Year's Eve for the last forty years. (ANI)

The Being a Confirmed Single
After I divorced I spent the first year or so, thinking that I "needed" to get into another relationship to feel better about myself, only to feel futility....after a couple of relationships in the early years that didn't work out, I have become more selfish with "my time"... and guess what? I feel better about myself...I can take a road trip when I want, stay up as late as I want and not answer to anyone...That's not to say that the right person won't come along someday and that I couldn't conform, but as of now I am very satisfied with the life that I have.
Anyone else out there have similar feelings or am I just a an anomaly? My name is Mike and I am a Confirmed Single
ROTFLOL! It makes me laugh!
After ten years alone, I love it. I shop when I want, and I dont have to take another along for their opinion. Yep, I can pick out my own clothes and lingerie!
I decide the colour of the house. Yes, I want navy blue comforter, purple bathroom, and red kitchen.
I decide my financial future.
No one asks "what's for dinner?"
I am a Confirmed Single!!!
I have been thinking more and more about being a confirmed single since I purchased "MY" own house last year and getting my fill of online dating. Lately I have decided that I can wait for Mr. Right if he exists. I would rather be single than be in a bad relationship. I think I have a bad case of the "confirmed singles" when I visit with married people they seem strange to me. The way they interact with each other seems odd. Maybe I'm just becoming a hermit? Thanks for starting this thread.
I have at last begun to accept that I will remain single for the rest of my life, but that acceptance comes very reluctantly and unwillingly. Having the freedom to do what you like, whenever you like, however you like is no substitute for the warmth of an ongoing, loving relationship such as I've experienced. I like to share my life - self-indulgence and growing selfishness don't sit well with me, but, sadly, they are taking over!
Char...welcome to the "club"..heh....Don't go into full hermit mode, still get out and enjoy life. I do agree about seeing married friends and some are just going thru the motions, it seems.
Good points Daisy, but being self indulgent and being selfish about ones time doesn't necessarily mean that one has to become celibate. I think there is a line there that one can find romantic encounters where they can enjoy life and still feel fulfilled living alone.
Ohhh, I dont know how to express this. I am sad, that in my life I have not felt the same as Daisyduckworth.
I am not less, and I still love. For this time, I will not squander, it was given to me. It seems self indulgent. In the end, I know who I am, not dependent on others in finances, emotion, or approval.
I do envy those that have found the soulmate.
I have found the greatest gift is friends. I still get a hug, people to share with, and am always satisified.
At this time, I celebrate my time here and alone to become what I have decided is best and if I choose to share, it is not because I am needy, resigned, or alone.
I do enjoy the freedom, and I may in my choosing to let someonelse choose the colour of paint! LOL!
DD this is for you, and it's a ridiculous pep talk but please take it in the spirit of love that it was meant.
OK DaisyD, I gotta chime in here. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself having never married or been in very many relationships, but lately when I get in one of those moods I think about how awful it would be to have been in a relationship for all these years and have it end tragically, through divorce or being widowed. About the only thing positive I can see about this singleness of mine is that I'm fairly good at it. Ya get kinda hard, but that doesn't mean you loose your soft center. I don't know how old you are, if you're retired or working or what, but from experience I can tell you that if you're going to be happy as a single person, you really have to develop a thick skin and get out there and live your life. We have to play the cards we've been dealt. From these forums I know you are such a beautiful person with so much love to offer. The world is full of people who need your gifts, they are just too damaged to let on, like most of us. Girl, you've got to buck up and get out and find people to share your life with, whether it's community service, a singles group, a book club, a fundraiser, etc. Whatever it is, you have to reach out. I know you're not a hermit, but you have to increase your efforts! I invited some friend over for that virtual french dinner, (which was a real PITA BTW) and it was not a whole lot of "fun" doing it, but everyone enjoyed themselves and have been remarking about it, and I had fun in the end, etc. And before the dinner I just dreaded the thought of having people over that I didn't know that well. But hey, No pain, no gain! Believe me I know from singlehood, I've got over 25 years experience forcing myself to "get out more." For every 10 awful experiences I can tell you a truly wonderful one. Realistically, that's about the best you can expect with anything in life. So get out there and spread a little love. I mean it!

The Devil of Clan Sinclair
The Devil of Clan Sinclair (Mass Market Paperback)
By Karen Ranney
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
To Dance with the Devil . . .
For Virginia Traylor, Countess of Barrett, marriage was merely the vehicle to buy her father a title. Widowhood, however, brings a host of problems. For her husband deliberately spent the money intended for Virginia and her in-laws, leaving them penniless-- unless she produces an heir. Desperate and confused, Virginia embarks on a fateful journey that brings her to the doorstep of the only man she's ever loved . . .
He's known as the Devil, but Macrath Sinclair doesn't care. He moved to a tiny Scottish village in hopes of continuing his work as an inventor and starting a family of his own. He bought the house; he chose the woman. Unfortunately, Virginia didn't choose him. Macrath knows he should turn her away now, but she needs him, and he wants her more than ever. Whatever game Virginia's playing, Macrath intends to win-- one wickedly seductive deed at a time . . .

Please recommend sources for light switches
We're building a new home and we are the contractors. The rough-in electrical is in. We need to wire the lights and switches. Would prefer dimmer switches. We are using incandescent in all fixtures. Some are single pole and some are 3 way. Of course, all plugs (regular and gfci), cable, and phone need trim installed.
Could you recommend online sources of these components? I've found some, but the prices have me cringing.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I bought most of my switches and dimmers from the link below. They seemed to have the best price and selection. But you'll find like I did that dimmers and switches and GFCI's add up. If you want custom colors theyget really pricey. I found that the Almond color is fairly interchangable between Lutron and Leviton. These can be bought in the big box stores so down the road if you need a replacement they would be readily available. Lutron did not have a dual switch in the Decroa style, I bought a Leviton (or maybe Cooper?) from a big box store and it matches perfectly.
btw, the Meastro dimmers are excellent.
Here is a link that might be useful: Union Lighting
Try contractorlighting.com. They have great prices on all sorts of electical fixtures and gear.
Here is a link that might be useful: Contractor Lighting
"Home Depot will have much better prices than the local hardware store."
And they will be glad to sell you bottom of the barrel low quality switches, dimmers, and receptacles.
I think they keep a few higher priced ones around just to take the cheap ones look like a bargain.
Not from what I've seen. Maybe you would care to tell us how you know the Leviton switches and switchplates are bottom of the barrel in other words the worst possible quality.
The local hardware stores sell the same switches and other components with the same sku's as those from Home Depot and Lowes. Maybe you have found that they are selling a lower qualkity line but using the same model and sku numbers. If so I'm sure FTC would like some examples.
In my area the larger electrical jobbers usually match or beat the big box stores' prices on most items. They also carry many more products. The big box folks will tell you straight out that if an item isn't a top tier popular seller, they won't stock it.
IMO the only reason to go to the big box stores is that they're open evenings and weekends, and most of the jobbers aren't.

Servers delicious, authentic Mediterranean food with nice serving size.
Reasonably priced items and friendly service.
Its a small place, cozy but not a great ambiance.
Tony Look Trail at Stevens Creek Park
Easy Hike at Long Ridge Open Space Preserve
Best hikes west of Silicon Valley
The Shawrma made from chicken or beef is my favorite. The platter has a lot of food with rice salad and 2 pitas
If you want great tasting food, this is the place. The food was amazing! Just don't expect anything else...
Food was delicious and well-prepared. Decent-size portions. Environment just so-so in a strip mall environment.
Good reasonably priced Mediterranean food. We ate there twice while visiting the bay area and loved the food. I ate chicken shawarma which was great. My wife ordered chicken kobob and it was good too.
This is not a fancy restaurant but the food is authentic and the menu extensive for such a small place. I had the beef kabob wrap for about 5 dollars. It was quite tasty and well prepared. Can't find anything wrong with this place and the food was quickly prepared.
I had felafel but it was cold and odd since it didn't taste like falafels that I had before.
It is not a good place for ladies and it was not nice in terms of cleanness.
Joined my wife for a quick lunch and had a wonderful lamb shawerma, very large portion. Lamb was cooked and seasoned very well. Excellent meal and quite filling, very popular with the local silicon valley engineers.
Nice little Mediterranean place, seems to be family operated, I picked up an order of hummus and pita bread to take back to my hotel. It was delicious, plus it was a huge portion and very reasonably priced. Next time, I'll try the falafel!
The House Falafel is what I get as you will get the fried eggplant inside the wrap. I love their Tabuleh too, although different from my version, still fresh and good. Enjoy!

NVIDIA Optimus Technology Delivers Perfect Balance Of Notebook Performance And Battery Life
NVIDIA Optimus Technology Delivers Perfect Balance Of Notebook Performance And Battery Life
SANTA CLARA, Calif.-Feb. 9, 2010- NVIDIA Corp., today announced NVIDIA® Optimus technology, a breakthrough for notebook PCs that chooses the best graphics processor for running a given application and automatically routes the workload to either an NVIDIA discrete GPU or Intel integrated graphics - delivering great performance while also providing great battery life.
"Consumers no longer have to choose whether they want great graphics performance or sustained battery life," said Rene Haas, general manager of notebook products at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA Optimus gives them both - great performance, great battery life and it simply works."
Just as a Hybrid car chooses between the gas-powered and electric car engine on-the-fly and uses the most appropriate engine, NVIDIA Optimus technology does the same thing for graphics processors. NVIDIA Optimus Technology instantly directs the workload through the most efficient processor for the job, extending battery life by up to 2 timesi compared to similarly configured systems equipped with discrete graphics processors (GPUs). When playing 3D games, running videos, or using GPU compute applications the high-performance NVIDIA discrete GPU is used. When using basic applications, like web surfing or email, the integrated graphics processor is used. The result is long lasting battery life without sacrificing great graphics performance.
"The genius of NVIDIA Optimus is in its simplicity," said Dr. Jon Peddie, President of Jon Peddie Research, a pioneer of the graphics industry and a leading analyst. "One can surf the web and get great battery life and when one needs the extra horsepower for applications like Adobe Flash 10.1, Optimus automatically switches to the more powerful NVIDIA GPU."
Notebooks with NVIDIA Optimus technology will be available shortly, starting with the Asus UL50Vf, N61Jv, N71Jv, N82Jv, and U30Jc notebooks. For more information on NVIDIA Optimus technology visit the NVIDIA Website at http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html.
About NVIDIA
NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) awakened the world to the power of computer graphics when it invented the graphics processing unit (GPU) in 1999. Since then, it has consistently set new standards in visual computing with breathtaking, interactive graphics available on devices ranging from portable media players to notebooks to workstations. NVIDIA's expertise in programmable GPUs has led to breakthroughs in parallel processing which make supercomputing inexpensive and widely accessible. Fortune magazine has ranked NVIDIA #1 in innovation in the semiconductor industry for two years in a row. For more information, see http://www.nvidia.com.

Looking forward to starting this book. I always found the Walter Isaccson biography to be one dimensional and fixated on what made Jobs seem different- unusual and abrasive. But to have built a team at Apple which stuck around for years, there must have been more to the man and he seemed to be more of a draw for talent.
Given how Apple executives have contributed to this book, it seems like they are attempting to reset the clock and retell the story from the start.

Here our guide to the Apple Watch:
On Monday 9th March Apple will reveal details of the Apple Watch. As I have set out on this site in the past, we know a certain portion of the information already, but there are many aspects which have been held back until now.
One part which I have noted over the past few weeks is the issue of gender- the size of the Watch and the way Apple handles the promotion of the 38 and 42mm models. In the well-established watch market, small is for women and large is for men. "Ladies" vs "Gents" is a tired old cliche which lasted through the 20th century and is still apparent in watch advertising today.
Example from watchshop.com front page
Almost the first choice made when you enter a jewellers is to walk over to the men's or ladies' section of the store- with a gender choice coming before all other decisions. The established watch market falls into two gender-based categories: watches for men which focus on strength, rigour, power, sophistication. This stands in opposition to the "ladies" watches which aim for femininity, style, glamour, elegance, lightness.
Apple don't belong here. Apple don't do gender.
In all of the years I have followed Apple and their products, they have never focussed on gender or marketed along sexist lines. The iPhone has never aimed to divide the products lines along male vs female: the choice of colour matches a lifestyle choice, not part of a gender equation.
The closest we can find might be the iPods. When Apple launched the range of colours for the iPod nano, it could be argued that the colours were aimed at different categories. But again Apple did not lead us down a path- there was never a stated aim of marketing a pink iPod at women only, and say blue for men. The range of colours were left open to the consumer, a personal choice based on lifestyle, the iPod's purpose and without the constraints of gender-based limitations.
But now we are in wearables, Apple's first product to specifically enter a style market. I fundamentally hope, and believe, that Apple does not intend to enter this market and adopt the old cliches set out by an ageing marketplace. We deserve better and if any company is going to lead to break up these types of segments, it is Apple. The Watch information pages on apple.com do not make any mention of male vs female or "ladies" and "gents" editions.
I believe that tomorrow Apple will launch two categories of Watch- a choice of large and slim. Why can't slim be athletic, light, lean, a perfect choice for any consumer irrespective of their gender (those who prefer the slimmer shape, not those who fit into a "slim watch segment"). Apple have always been to the forefront of the marriage equality debate, and I believe that old gender issues are not something that they will want to reinforce. Now is the time to break with old conventions and Apple seem set to break the old categories seen on almost all watch manufacturer websites.
I look forward to seeing Apple's adverts and how they will define who will wear each of the devices. Apple are likely to reject the old assumptions of what a watch does and the functions contained in a wrist-based device, they will also change the language used to define this category. A freshness in design would be well matched by a fresh approach to language and how the Watch will be marketed.
Simon Spence/2015
Next Monday Apple will unveil more details about the Apple Watch. The event in Autumn 2014 revealed the Watch's existence, with a ship date of early 2015, but was short on some of the details. We know there will be a number of editions of the Watch and the price will start at $349, but we do not know the full price range and many of the features of the Watch are a mystery.
Here is what I will be looking out for:
1/ battery life: this will be a key element as I would expect the Watch to last a full day. Anything less will be irritating as you will need to remove it in the middle. The idea of topping up your watch in your car or at work might put people off. We really hope Apple can stretch the battery in the Watch to a reasonable span, such as 12 hrs or more.
2/ health: it would be wonderful to think that the Watch would track heart rate and blood sugars- I know this is almost impossible. But as a diabetic I would like to think that the Watch could communicate with other gadgets for health and make health info a more regular part of life, not something you need to find out at your doctor's surgery. Blood pressure will be possible with the sensors, so I will be watching with interest. I will be disappointed if it simply also tracks steps and distance, the same as any other Nike-type monitor.
3/ connection to iPhone and Mac: how are we going to load apps and sync info to the Watch (music etc). I still am not a fan of the way this is organised in iTunes- installing and arranging apps in the iTunes window is fiddly at best. I hope Apple have a great way to organise your content for the Watch.
4/ tactile communication: the ability to send a "buzz" your Apple Watch friends is great. I love the idea of this way to communicate- more than text or email. It is a physical way to communicate and this will be catchy. It also works for routines- the Watch will vibrate if you have not stood up in a while- good for those of us looking after bad backs! Apple seem to have thought through the personal side of the Watch, and the ability to vibrate on your wrist is far more immediate and intimate than a buzzing iPhone. This will be an interesting one to keep an eye on as it could develop into a whole new, personal, way to communicate.
5/ security: the Watch strikes me as the new thing too steal, and so I will be interested to see if Apple have thought this through. The iPhone is now a nightmare for a thief as the user can use Find My iPhone and can lock/wipe the device. We hope that the Watch, so publicly visible on a wrist, has these types of features and more.
6/ Apple Pay: we expect Tim Cook to give an update on the new payment system, Apple Pay. Hopefully he will announce that it is coming to Europe and we can't wait for it to arrive here. It will be a fantastic way to pay without having too pull out our cards at checkouts
7/ price: this thing won't be cheap! The starting price point of €349 is for the most basic version, but we expect the range to be big, and into the thousands. The more limited edition Watch, with gold, is likely to have an eye watering price to match. It is also likely that most people will be spending around $400-500 after they have selected a better strap or gone for a slightly better face.
8/ sizes: the Watch comes in a 38mm or 42mm size and I hope that Apple do not market this as a "ladies and gents" versions. I really hope the point of the sizes will be personal use and not gender based. If you look at a traditional jewellery store, the smaller watches are for women and the larger faces for men. This irritates me and hope that Apple stick to breaking this type of gender-based stereotype. It would be nice to see the faces as a personal choice, the same with the straps.
9/ don't expect this in your local shop: the Watch is likely to be an Apple-only purchase, so for Ireland it will be bought on the Apple online store. I do not believe that they will supply the Watch to third-party retailers, at least not at the beginning. Given the number of faces and straps available, this is a custom-build, so online shopping makes more sense. But there again not being able to hold or touch a Watch in Ireland before purchasing could be a problem. Strong demand at the start will mean that Apple won't care about this, but expect to see Apple Watches in stores in a few years time as the product matures.
10/ this is the new iPod: the iPod range has not been updated in a few years and this is likely to continue. The Watch, along with Bluetooth headsets, is likely to be the new iPod.
11/ what does the Digital Crown do?? The dial on the side of the Watch has not been discussed in detail. Look out for more news on this on Monday. Tim Cook did not refer to its purpose in the Autumn release.
12 surprise: Apple almost certainly held back on revealing significant functions of the Watch, so that this is revealed closer to the launch date. This means that competitors do not have time to try to copy its features. Expect a few show-stopper features to be revealed next week.
We look forward to learning more on Monday.

Many thanks to ClubMac for inviting me along to speak to their meeting yesterday. ClubMac is a Dublin Mac user group and provides s great forum for people to gather to discuss all things Apple. They hold regular news update and Q & A slots, for members to ask technical questions, and then have keynote presentations from invited guests.
My own topic was publishing books on the iBooks Store, something I have done for a few years now with my children book series, Early Myths.
I received a very friendly welcome and I would recommend the group to anyone starting out with a Mac who would like an opportunity to meet fellow users to learn more. Thanks to Tom and his colleagues for a very enjoyable evening.
For more information check out the ClubMac website: www.clubmac.ie
Great to see such a huge investment in Ireland. This carries on a long relationship between Apple and Ireland with the company having a long history in Cork.
In the 80s and 90s Apple manufactured Macs in Cork, such as the PowerMac. In recent years they based their European call centre there.
So many aspects of the Apple Watch are yet to be revealed. We expect to see Apple launch the watch at a special event in April where we will finally find out more about the capabilities of the new devices. Items such as what the digital crown does, the health features, and many of the built in apps are yet to be discussed in depth by Apple.
There is also the battery life- likely to be a breakthrough for this new market, but also likely to be widely criticised in the press. The Watch wilt meet expectations in this area, as the expectations are too high.
My own personal interest will be in the health apps, and whether this will benefit a Type 1 diabetic such as myself. It is possible that the Watch will sync with blood-testing devices to help diabetics control blood-sugar levels, something truly revolutionary for diabetics. The health apps will also track steps, distances etc and begin to help in your lifestyle. A Watch vibrating if you have not moved from your desk in an hour will certainly add a helpful prompt in our daily lives, and possibly for the better. Many of us need a reminder!

Not sure we learn a lot from this article by 9to5Mac but if true it will be good to see Apple compete head on with Spotify. The one interesting aspect will be the price point. $7.99 per month is still quite a commitment for many users, as it is close to buying an album each month, something which will not attract the majority of users. The speculation on a lower point of $5 would seem tone far more attractive.
The rest of the article seems to be as informed as educated guess-work: Beats bring integrated into iTunes, new employees clashing with existing employees, slight delay in expected launch date? All a bit standard.

interesting results from StatCounter. Apple have chipped away at Google in some forms of search by introducing Maps and pushing Siri, but overall Google remain as dominant as ever in web search.
The one thing which would make a huge difference- if Apple changed the default search provider in iOS and OS X. But the key here is that Google pay Apple for this position and any switch would be hit users. If Yahoo or Bing got their act together and provided a noticeably better service, then I think Apple would have no problem in switching. But right now moving away from Google would make a user's experience on an Apple device worse. That's why Apple have not moved- not any sense of loyalty to Google.

The recent rumour about Apple revising the MacBook Air leads to the question–how powerful should a low end laptop be? In the 00's, Apple's category division was simple– PowerBook laptops were for professionals and iBook laptops suited home users.
In more recent times, the introduction of the MacBook Air followed a similar path, with the original version being quite underpowered compared to its professional counterpart. But for Apple, the problem was cost. The Air came with a higher price than the iBook and this left it stranded between the two categories. The chip in the original MacBook Air was very slow in comparison to the professional line-up. But as the MacBook Air settled down, Apple built in better chips, recently an I5 or i7, and the performance of this laptop began to reach above threshold required by the average user. We have recommended MacBook Airs into many businesses, where we would not have looked at an iBook ten years ago.
Therefore the waters have narrowed between the pro and consumer laptop families and this is something we welcomed because it gives a wider choice where business users don't dismiss the lower range. In fact the old category division of professional/consumer no longer applies. Today the choice between MacBook Air vs Pro lies primarily in screen size, plus variations on graphics power and chip speed.
We hope that this is not a position which Apple reverses in the future, by aiming any new MacBook Air towards the lower end and widening the gap between these two sections. We think the continuity between Air and Pro is good for buyers and the decision comes down to lifestyle choice, such as weight, design, and form, ahead of a blunter choice of money and speed.

The leaning tower of Cactus...
Help. I think I need to transplant this cactus, but not sure how to help it stand taller. I have a taller pot to put it in, but I don't want to kill this cactus. How do I get it to stand without a stick? Or is that even possible?
Thank you for any suggestions or advice you can give...
For transplanting, since the base is rather curved and already planted at an angle, I suppose it may be best to cut off the base. You could let it callus over and start out with a good straight base.
A stick would definitely help in keeping it supported. Eventually, the base/trunk will likely get strong enough to support the entire plant.
Trying to transplant the cactus to correct the angle again would mean it would have to be planted deeper, and the pot would need a larger diameter to accommodate its base's spread. This is why I think cutting the base off may be your best option.
I deal with a similar problem once a year after heavy rains cause my opuntias get top heavy and tip over. I cut off all the pads until they can stand on their own. Then after you cut them they main plant just makes more pads and strengthens to support them at the same time. The pads that are cut off can dry for a few days then get planted to make more or give them to your friends. Most opuntia can be trimmed then they just bush out after. In general every pad I cut off gets replaced by 1-4 new pads depending on species. I have over 50 species of Opuntia.

The BSP's intention is to keep communal forces at bay
On the eve of the discussion and the vote in the Lok Sabha on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati indicated on Monday that despite her party's reservations about the policy in its present form, it would back the government to keep "communal forces" at bay.
The Lok Sabha, after a two-day debate on the Opposition voting motion, will vote on Wednesday. The government has enough numbers to defeat the motion in the House. However, the trouble is in the Rajya Sabha where it does not have the numbers and also faces the prospect of the Samjawadi Party (which is lending outside support) voting with the Opposition.
Observing that the Centre had not thrust the policy on the States, Ms. Mayawati said foreign investment was needed for the country's growth but the multi-brand FDI policy should be implemented in a manner that did not hurt the economy or the interests of the middle class and the poor.
"Analyse its impact"
Addressing a press conference here, Ms. Mayawati suggested that since the Congress-ruled States were willing to implement the policy, the Centre should study the impact on these States and analyse the results rather than bring in the policy in a hurry.
"I have studied the policy and found that the only plus point is that if a State does not want to adopt the policy, it need not. Our party has taken note of this. It is also seriously thinking whether it should be standing with those parties that encourage communal forces as it is they who have moved for vote against FDI."
Asked if her party was linking the vote on FDI with its demand for passage of the Constitution Amendment Bill that provides for reservation for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in promotion in government jobs, she said: "No, there is no such condition."
However, the government has declared its 'commitment' to the Bill, with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath telling journalists that it was introduced in the Rajya Sabha and was listed as "Number 1" in the List of Business on Monday.
SP stand
In a way the government is caught in the crossfire between the SP and the BSP, which have locked horns on the Bill in the Rajya Sabha. In fact, the SP has declared that it will oppose FDI in the Upper House, no matter what the party's stand is in the Lok Sabha. Both parties lend outside support to the UPA and their vote is crucial for the government.
With speculation rife on which way the SP will vote in the Lok Sabha, Ms. Mayawati was asked if that party would follow her. "If they want to copy us, they should copy the manner in which we handled law and order in Uttar Pradesh," she quipped.
Keywords: FDI in retail, FDI debate, UPA government, BSP, Mayawati, SP, Mulayam Singh Yadav

About MeAfrican American woman from Washington, D.C. I joined this website to broaden my horizons. I am very talented in many ways but never use them. I am just recently exiting the US Military (which made a man out of me), and want to get back to enjoying my femininity. (And I box at a local gym, which adds to that last statement). I have done very little modeling as a child and as a college student. Now that I have the time, I would like to be recognized for the natural beauty that I possess, and the ability to represent others work would be fantastic. My body is curvacious and I maintain good health and a steady weight. I am young and full of life, talent and beauty. I have naturally beautiful glowing skin, and a gorgeous facial structure. I can be portrayed and many artful pieces. I am not looking to make some big name for myself, but I am also not opposed to making something great come from this.
I am interested in the many aspects of modeling such as body painting, clothes modeling and much more. I would be interested in trading work for time, monetary values, and just to build a portfolio!!
I value HARD work and CREATIVITY.
I may accept low budget work if it's creative and useful for my portfolio BUT I expect that:
-The duration of the shoot is under 5 hours.
-The location of the shoot is in the Colorado Springs and surrounding areas (or travel expenses are paid).
-We meet to review the studio/location/creative ideas prior to booking.
-One person of my choice is to be present at the shoot at all times.
-Photographer agrees that there will be no commercial usage of photographs without model's prior approval and further compensation.
For regular work:
-Hours can be discussed prior to booking
-Travel expenses are paid to and from locations more than 40 miles from my home.
-For shoots that extend over a number of days, hotel accommodation must be provided.
**NUDITY**...MAY consider shoots and projects where certain areas are covered or full body painting. Some artful and tasteful work MAY be considered upon hearing your ideas and viewing of your work. Aside from that, I expect that I WILL be PAID for NUDE work. If for publication, we can discuss the type of nudity and TF or paid.
If you are seriously interested in working with me, please send me a DETAILED message providing the following information:
-Your full name
-Location of shoot
Compensation/Fee/Quick Casting
-Potential dates for shoot
-Approximate length of shoot
-Is makeup/wardrobe/hair provided?
-Clear project description with intended usage & type of release
-Link to samples of your professional web site/page
If everything checks out, we will speak through email/phone for further planning.
NO ONE-ON-ONE sessions until we have established a model/client relationship.
If I send you a friend request, it means that I love your work and am very interested in us working together in the future. If you send me a request, please leave a comment or tag. This is not Facebook. I am not looking to build a high level of friends just because I want to feel special with no work to show for it. If I look at your profile and see that your TAG is full of "thanks for the FR", with not one sign of anyone ever even working with you, you will be ignored and declined. I notice this a lot. People having pics in their port from ages ago, and 2k plus friends that they've never even met before and do not plan to meet. Please, be beneficial to me.
I am very easy going and easy to deal with (just very strict). Also very kind and understanding. So PLEASE, quality work takes time and effort. No worries, I am a hard, patient and diligent worker!!!
I am excited to work with you, so please feel free to contact me!!!

Combine all bar ingredients in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.
Pour batter into greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake 25-35 minutes or until bar springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool completely.

This recipe is delicious! Better than any pumpkin bread/muffin I have ever had! I didn't use all the butter though, I only put in about half of what the recipe calls for and it still was delicious!
Wonderful and with the doily design on top Beautiful presentation Thank you for a great recipe i always add a little extra cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg

family loved it
I made this recipe for the first time to take as a dessert for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! As an added sweetner, I drizzled it with icing.
Great for a crowd I iced it with cinnamon spiced frosting with orange jimmies for Halloween
My family enjoyed this sweet treat. I iced it with cream cheese frosting. Yum!
This is great for potlucks and other gatherings. I've had many requests for the recipe.
Followed the recipe exactly. Very disappointed. Not much flavor at all. The crust ends up having an eggy taste.
this would is great for when have friends over for tea & coffe

The Mint White Chocolate Tart takes a little bit of effort to make with its multiple steps, but the end result is fluffy, subtly sweet and has a perfect hint of mint.

Eggs Benedict, like this Cheesy Eggs Benedict, is the quintessential brunch dish, but it sure can be challenging to serve to a crowd with so many last-minute elements – toasting English muffins, poaching eggs and making hollandaise sauce. Of course, it can be made easier by toasting all the muffins on a sheet in the oven, and by poaching your eggs the day before your brunch. More ...
