Voyages of Discovery:
Voyages is a mesmerizing visual record of some of the most significant, and beautiful, discoveries in the history of natural science exploration. Superb artwork and photographs spanning three centuries document advances and watersheds in the field of natural science. The stories of the explorers, naturalists, artists, and photographers behind these images entwine in a fascinating study of human achievement and natural wonder. Handpicked from the vast archives of the Natural History Museum in London, the illustrations and artworks contained in Voyages form a rare and beautiful collection, most of which has never been in the public eye.
Highlights include Sir Hans Sloane's 1687 voyage to Jamaica, where he collected and recorded plant specimens, cocoa among them, which are preserved to this day; Maria Sybilla Merian's personal sojourn to Surinam in 1699 to record in brilliant detail butterflies and exotic insects; Darwin's fateful trip to the Gal�pagos Islands, on which he cataloged finches and fossils; William Bartrams's fanciful yet detailed documentation of North American wildlife; and Matthew Flinder's mapping of Australia, where he was accompanied by perhaps the greatest of all natural science artists, Ferdinand Bauer.
Surveying one millennium of discovery and exploration, Voyages inspires and awes with its beauty and history, and carries us forward into the exhilarating possibilities of the next.
The Natural History Museum in London is a repository for some of the most exciting and comprehensive collections of natural science specimens, illustrations, and artworks to be found anywhere in the world. It holds 68 million specimens, some of which are several centuries old; close to half a million works of art on paper, comprising one of Britain's largest art collections and representing all the great natural history artists; and one million books, including rare, richly illustrated antique volumes. Together they constitute an unrivaled resource, consulted daily by scientists and historians worldwide. [via]

CSAA annual conference 2012
Cultural Studies Association of Australasia Annual Conference 2012
Materialities: Economies, Empiricism, & Things
Hosted by the Department of Gender & Cultural Studies, University of Sydney
4-6 December, 2012
(pre-fix pre-conference 3 December)
Organising committee: Fiona Allon, Prudence Black, Catherine Driscoll, Elspeth Probyn, Kane Race and Guy Redden.
Call for Papers
Cultural studies has a long history of investigating material practices – indeed it was a founding tenet of British cultural studies – but recently a new turn or return to materialism seems to be emerging in the field. What this materiality now means is still open, but we suggest that it flags a renewed interest in questions of how to study cultural objects, institutions and practices (methods), what constitutes matter and materiality (empiricism), and how things (humans and non-humans) are being reworked at a time of global economic, environmental and cultural flux.
Our keynotes have all directed critical attention to these questions – to the more-than-human, to new philosophies of matter, to the gendered material and economic circuits of media, and to 'the heavy materiality of language'. We have invited them to help us in reinvigorating what cultural studies can do today. They include: Ross Chambers (Michigan), Katherine Gibson (UWS), Lesley Head (UoW), Bev Skeggs (Goldsmiths, London), and Sarah Whatmore (Oxford).
Update! More featured speakers announced: Jennifer Biddle (UNSW), Brenda Croft (UniSA), Graeme Turner (UQ).
We encourage proposed panels and individual papers that engage with the wide spectrum of issues flagged by our title, including submissions that focus on:
- placing sexuality, gender and race within the more-than-human;
- the materiality of texts and genres;
- the future and the past of material cultural studies;
- environmental humanities and changing ecologies;
- cultural studies within the anthropocene;
- cultural relations with/in primary and natural resources;
- the new materiality of globalism
Papers and panels not focusing on the theme are also welcome.
Please send abstracts for proposed papers by 24 August and include your name and affiliation:
Click here to email
Abstracts for papers should be 250-300 words. Panel submissions must include three individual abstracts, a panel title, and a 100-150 word rationale for the panel as a whole.
We will advise all proposers of accepted papers within 4 weeks of this deadline. Please note that accepted presenters will need to register before their paper will be scheduled in the program.
There will also be a separate event, "Pre-Fix", geared to the needs of postgraduates and early career researchers, on 3 December. This will be a free additional event included with the conference registration. Details of this and more information about the main conference will be on a dedicated conference website soon.

Shane Vereen has two goals this week. He wants to win a football game on Sunday and, as he puts it, ``I want to see the soldiers outside the palace that can't smile.''
Vereen was talking about the guards at Buckingham Palace. He said he might try to make them smile, but his goal is to get his picture taken with them.
He will have his chance because the Patriots are playing in London on Sunday, as the visiting team against the St. Louis Rams. The Pats shifted their focus directly to that game Wednesday, with the talk split about the game and going to England.
``I've never been to Europe before. I'm excited to go, see what it's all about,'' said Shane Vereen. ``I think it's fun; to break the routine and get to go out of the country will be something fun.''
``We're going to travel a little earlier in the week,'' pointed out Ridley of the plans to leave on a red-eye flight Thursday night. ``But we'll try to keep everything as normal as we can.''
``I haven't been to London before. I'm looking forward to making the trip,'' he said. ``Hopefully we can get the `W' then the flight (home) won't be as long.''

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder's administration is kicking off a year-long study to help set future energy policies for Michigan, including whether to require expanded use of wind, the sun and other renewable electricity sources.
The Republican governor promised to dig into the issue last fall after voters soundly rejected a ballot proposal that would have ordered the state's utilities to generate 25 percent of their power from alternatives to coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels by 2025. Existing law sets a 10 percent minimum that must be met by 2015.
The study is designed to provide Snyder and the state Legislature with information they'll need to devise a new energy strategy as the deadline arrives, said John Quackenbush, chairman of the Michigan Public Service Commission. Quackenbush is leading the project with Steven Bakkal, director of the Michigan Energy Office.
It will begin with seven public meetings around the state, starting Feb. 14 in Lansing and ending April 22 in Traverse City. The meetings will give people a chance to provide information for reports that will be submitted to the governor and lawmakers.
"What we're interested in at this point is gathering information — studies and data that will guide policymakers and help them make good decisions," Quackenbush said this week.
A law enacted in 2008 established the 10 percent renewable energy standard. It also required electric utilities to reduce power usage by 5.5 percent and gas providers to achieve a 3.85 percent cut by 2015. Another provision guarantees that one-tenth of the electricity sold in Michigan will come from suppliers other than regulated utilities. The study will deal with all those topics, Bakkal said.
Environmental groups, contending the renewable standard was insufficient, gathered enough petition signatures to force the statewide vote on a 25 percent minimum, contending it would help Michigan keep pace with competing states in clean energy development and create jobs. Utilities said it would hit customers with higher electric bills and make supplies less reliable.

text: I have the extended mag release on my G17 and G26. I did not notice a problem with it using the CQC SERPA holster but as we transition to warmer weather I started looking for an IWB holster. The current IWB holster I have is for my Taurus Millennium PT111. The G26 fit OK enough to give me an idea as to the function of an IWB I'd like to use and I noticed that the extended mag release did press against the holster. No doubt using a holster of similar design could cause the mag to be released.

An epic journey
... raising serious concern all the way. I was kind of sitting on the engine, at the back of the bus, so I could assess whether the coughing, complaining, raging of the engine was evolving. One of my favourite moments took place at around 6.30am when we stopped, in the wild. Nothing there apart from a road heading east, a dry landscape and a rising sun. A few seconds later, there were at least 15 of the passengers praying on ...

Outstanding Beach House
November 26, 2012
We recently stayed at this Beach House and the views are spectacular. And the house is exceptional as well. Very comfortable and the owner provide you with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We stayed with our Family of 6 and the kids just loved the place. If you are going to stay in the Bellingham area this is the place to stay hands down. The beds were excellent and kitchen just perfect. Stay here, you will not regret it!!!
Owner Supplied Testimonials
Valley Vu-ers(Iowa) 8/05/12
How often when you travel do your accomodations far exceed your expectations? In the case of this beach home, you will find that the real thing is better than what you imagined it would be. Our family had a wonderful time here, enjoying all the things the others have written about in their reviews: beautiful views, bonfires, collecting shells, lounging with a good book in the sun with the sounds of the ocean all around, a beautifully decorated home (super clean), great appliances/bbq that made cooking fun, comfy furniture/beds that offer the kind of restful sleep you don't often get away from home. My one regret is that our time here just did not seem long enough, and it was hard for our family to pack up and leave! This place is a gem!!

Excellent family getaway!

We had such a wonderful time here! The beach walks were amazing and the sunsets, incredible! We were in a bind for a place to stay due to some unpredictable circumstances and the Rorvigs were so incredibly accommodating on such short notice! Our family can't wait to book our next family vacation here!!!
An amazing family retreat
Guest: Washington Native(Missouri)
Date of Stay: 05/26/12 Review Submitted: 06/05/12
Scott and family, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful beach house with our family. The views were amazing whether you were looking at Mt. Baker from the front of the house or Puget Sound and the shipping lanes from the back of the house. Our children loved combing the beach and looking for shells and crabs. Your home was impeccable in decoration from the high thread count in the bed linens, to the down comforters, to the simple beach decor throughout the house. The house was very close to the Bellingham airport and the city of Ferndale. We would without a doubt recommend this property to friends and family and will be coming back in the future. Thank you, again!!

Harry Potter is now saying goodbye to millions of fans worldwide while breaking box office records. Yet the franchise has finally finished. The British film industry is going to become quite bored and poor, Daniel Radcliffe will be able to stop drinking and continue on the stage while the rest of us might drag ourselves out of this fantasy obsession that seems to have grown since the turn of the century. Will we stop our hedonistic desires for vampires, hogwarts themed candies and all things ethereal now that voldemort has been slain and the franchise utterly milked dry?
Soon all there will be left to remember of a fantastic series of novels will be an out of order sign in front of a chamber of secrets themed ride somewhere in Florida, the times change, and for me at least I hope our next themed universal obsession shifts towards Rugby Union vandals who enjoy travelling, but we will just have to wait and see!What will be the next cinematic social trend?

The laying of the groundwork must begin today, so that the American people will be prepared for the day when the mirage the Fed has created evaporates completely.
People's Liberation Army (PLA) Major General Luo Yuan, in a commentary published by state-owned website china.org.cn, said China has not abandoned the idea of "war at all costs" to protect its interests.
"'Peaceful rise and 'period of strategic opportunity' preclude war," said Luo, who has been described by Western media as "hawkish" for his ultranationalist views.
"It is incorrect to assume that China will completely rule out military action in any event during this 'period of strategic opportunity,'" he said, referring to Beijing's dispute with Manila.
The novelty? To drive this revolution in an economic framework that will attract investors and governments in entrepreneurial partnerships that feed self-interest while revolutionising outcomes – particularly in relation to carbon.
The blue economy was initially a report to the Club of Rome recommending innovations inspired by science and biometrics. This is a truly cool equation. Science + Economics = A Better Future.

Poundland Jute String In Tin Reviews

Customer Poundland Jute String In Tin Reviews (1)
by - written on 22/11/13 (Very useful, 50 readings)
Jute garden string is one of those things I always need to replenish my stock of several times a year, and while it isn't that expensive in itself, because I buy it often I looked around for a cheaper source. I came across a tin of natural jute twine in Poundland where I got 80m plus the storage container for my pound and decided to give that a try. I hesitated before buying it as I thought it may be made of fewer strands and that therefore it would be thinner and less strong as a result so the purpose of this review is to reassure someone such as myself that buying from Poundland doesn't mean throwing your money away! I use the jute twine for the usual ... Read the complete review

Callers Help Officials Track Loose Moose in Eastern Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Officials are tracking a moose on the loose in Iowa, thanks to the help of curious callers spotting the creature.
The state Department of Natural Resources says it's received dozens of calls over several weeks about a male moose making its way from northern Iowa down south. It was first officially spotted in early November. Vince Evelsizer, with the DNR in Clear Lake, says it's the only known moose in Iowa right now. It likely came from northern Minnesota because of natural curiosity, and it's something that happens once every five to six years. Evelsizer says the moose was last spotted near Cedar Rapids, and its chances of survival are dwindling as it continues on its southward path.

A motorhome (or motor coach[1]) is a type of self-propelled recreational vehicle or RV which offers living accommodation combined with a vehicle engine. The term motorhome is most commonly used in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada.
A motorhome comprises sleeping accommodation for between two and eight people. Each sleeping place is called a berth. Each berth is either fixed or converts from another part of the motorhome's interior. A kitchenette area will contain cooking equipment. The type of equipment included differs depending on the motorhome make and model, but generally a kitchenette has an oven, grill, stovetop, and sink. More luxury models may also provide a microwave. A separate washroom will be housed in the motorhome. Each washroom will have a flushing cassette toilet, shower and basin. The cassette toilet sometimes swivels to provide extra room and can be accessed from outside the motorhome for easy emptying.[2] More recent motorhomes will have a separate shower cubicle.
A motorhome will also have a cab area with a driver and passenger seat. These seats often swivel to become part of the living space. A dinette area provides a table and seating space typically used for eating meals. A lounge may also be included, consisting of either a U-shaped sofa located in the rear of the motorhome or a side lounge.
Ambiguity with RV and campervan[edit]
The term motorhome is often used interchangeably with (American) RV and campervans, though the terms are not entirely synonymous. Their term Recreational Vehicle (RV) is actually a blanket term that refers to all forms of mobile, temporary dwelling vehicles of this type (and as such includes motorhomes, as well as travel trailers and fifth wheelers and truck campers).
Campervans are typically smaller than motorhomes and are constructed differently. Whilst campervans are focused with mobility and low cost, motorhomes have more emphasis on comfort.[3] For example, campervans generally lack built-in toilets and showers, or a divide between the living compartment and the cab.[4] Volkswagen Westfalia Campers are typical campervans.
The motorhome dates back to the 1920s, although there were allegedly[who?] earlier homemade versions that predate this time. The Jennings company mounted a motorhome body onto a car chassis in 1938. Production was brought to a standstill in 1939, perhaps due to World War II. The war set back the progress of motorhome manufacturing, but it picked up again in the 1950s. The big names in the early days were Dormobile, Paralanian and Westfalia.[5]
Motorhomes can be roughly categorized into 3 categories:
- Alcove
Alcove motorhomes are also known as coachbuilt or C-class motorhomes. They usually provide a double berth over the driving cab. An alcove motorhome has a caravan-style body which is mounted onto a chassis. Ford and Fiat manufacture the majority of alcove motorhome chassis in Europe.
- Semi-integrated
A semi-integrated motorhome is also referred to as a low profile or B-class motorhome. They are built in the same way as an alcove motorhome, except no berths are provided over the cab area. As a result, the overall height of a semi-integrated motorhome is lower than an alcove motorhome. This type of motorhome usually has a fixed double bed in rear of the vehicle and is particularly popular with couples.
- Integrated
An integrated motorhome is also known as an A-class motorhome and often has a reputation for being the most luxurious and expensive vehicles. An integrated motorhome has a solid body with the driving area built into the standard living accommodation. An integrated motorhome will have a large and expansive front window which offers a good view of the road and surrounding landscape. Berths will convert from lounge or dinette areas, there is also usually a double bed which lowers over the driving area at the touch of a button.
There are many different motorhome layouts available with each manufacturer offering a range of options.
Other terms[edit]
The word motorhome is commonly used in the United Kingdom. On occasion, other synonyms are used, such as motor home and motor caravan.
In Germany, a motorhome is referred to as a "Wohnmobil". In France, a motorhome is called "camping-car". In Italy, the term "Camper" is used to mean motorhome in general, and the term "Motorhome" refers to Class A motorhomes in particular.[1] "Auto Caravana" or "Auto-Caravana" is used in Spain and Portugal. In Sweden, the term "Husbil" means motorhome.
In Australia and New Zealand, the term campervan is frequently used for smaller motorhomes, and the term housebus is frequently used for larger motorhomes.
In some countries the proprietary name Winnebago has been largely genericised to refer to any motorhome.

As complex phenomena, puns have been studied from different perspectives - from Semiotic to Linguistics, from Rhetoric to Literary Criticism, from Philosophy to Psychology. This book analyzes puns on the base of two linguistic models. On one side, phonological mechanisms of pun are described and classified through Autosegmental Phonology and Optimality Theory; such frameworks allow the comparison of puns in different languages and language families. On the other side, the semantic-pragmatic features of pun come to be crucial with respect to several issues - e.g., the ''felicity'' of puns, intercultural communication, and the use of humor in language teaching. A new, operative model of pun is proposed, in order to foster the analysis of such phenomenon in different languages. Roma Tre University Facoltà di Lettere e filosofia - AULA 16 via Ostiense, 236 Rome, Italy May 7, 2013 Massimo Vedovelli (Dean - University for Foreigners of Siena) and Maria Catricalà (Professor of Linguistics - Roma Tre University) will present the book Guidi, Annarita, 2012, ''Il gioco di parole e le lingue.

By Emily Mitchell
Between work, school, games, and social networking, people spend huge chunks of their day staring at computer screens.
While extended computer use may be the culprit for some health problems, degenerative eyesight is not one of them, according to Duke ophthalmologist Jill Koury, MD.
According to Koury, computers and televisions do not emit radiation that can harm your eyes. She notes that the biggest eye problems people may face from extended computer use is eye strain, fatigue, and eye dryness.
To avoid eye strain, fatigue, and dryness, Koury recommends the following tips for people who spend long hours in front of a computer.
"Long hours of reading, whether on printed pages or on a computer can cause eye strain and fatigue, but nothing that rest and short breaks will not restore," Koury says.
A five-minute break every hour that allows you to get up, walk around, and focus off into the distance is a great way to avoid eye fatigue.
Eye dryness is a frequent problem for people who read a lot. Concentrating on reading material causes your blink frequency to drop considerably.
The blinking action of the eyelid causes the glands to make tears, so when you blink infrequently, your eyes tend to get dry and uncomfortable.
The solution to this problem is to keep a supply of unpreserved artificial tears nearby whenever you are reading a lot, and dose yourself often enough to stay comfortable.
The way a person views a computer or their physical proximity to the computer can greatly affect a person's vision. Ergonomics are especially important for people who wear bifocals.
Since the reading portion of these eyeglasses is the lower half of the lens, position your monitor as low as possible on your desk, allowing you to read the screen in a comfortable down-gaze position.
If you do feel your vision is diminishing, call your ophthalmologist and schedule your annual eye exam.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administrator David Matsuda attended a ground breaking ceremony today for the Green Port Gateway, a major port-to-rail infrastructure expansion project that will help reduce congestion and improve the environment near the Port of Long Beach by shifting more cargo from trucks to trains. The project was funded in part by a $17 million TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant. "Ports are critical for our country's economic growth and success," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "The Green Port Gateway will build on the progress we made during President Obama's first term, reigniting America's economic engine both here in Long Beach and throughout the country." When completed, the $83.5 million infrastructure investment project will improve the connection between the Port of Long Beach and the Alameda Corridor rail line that carries about 15% of all waterborne containers entering or leaving the United States. On-dock rail will reduce the number of trucks on city streets and highways since port workers will be able to move cargo containers directly from ships to trains within the port instead of using trucks to transport cargo from the port to the rail yards. The Green Port Gateway project is expected to create 340 full-time construction-related jobs, according to the Port of Long Beach, and will add more than 30,000 feet of new track, including adding a new mainline. It will also eliminate a bottleneck and improve safety by rerouting over 8,000 feet of roadway. Combined, these improvements will increase efficiency, improve cargo throughput, and provide a safer working environment for train operations. "Efficient trade requires up-to-date infrastructure for stability and growth," said Administrator Matsuda. "With these improvements, we've greatly improved port infrastructure and our ability to export American products overseas. Projects like this one will help us achieve President Obama's goal of doubling our nation's exports by 2015." According to the Port of Long Beach, cargo valued at $155 billion for the State of California is moved through the port each year, and 1.4 million jobs nationwide are related to Long Beach–generated trade, with both figures expected to increase once the Green Port Gateway is in operation

Not as random, not as funny,
This review is from: Robot Chicken Star Wars III [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
One thing I loved about the first two Star Wars Robot Chicken discs was how random they were. At one moment you're seeing stuff that happened behind the scenes at the Cantina, the next you're at a Star Wars convention with George Lucas. With Star Wars Robot Chicken III, there is (almost) a narrative here. It (roughly) follows the chronological story of Star Wars from I to VI with an emphasis on the life on the Emperor.
It's not bad, it's just less of what I like about Star Wars Robot Chicken discs. The Emperor is one of their best characters, if not the best (with Boba Fett being a close second). Fear not though, there's lots of Boba, lots of Darth, and more hilarious Jar Jar. Yes folks, Robot Chicken is the only universe where Jar Jar is actually funny! Bonus features are the standard Robot Chicken fare, with a round-table featuring George Lucas being the best of the bunch, and in many ways funnier than the main feature. Lucas has a good sense of humour about himself. 4 stars.

This review is from: Robot Chicken: Star Wars III (DVD)
Based on the very funny preceding Robot Chicken Star Wars I and II, it's hard to believe but Robot Chicken Star Wars III tops them all and is the best (arguably the funniest) of the bunch. There is some brilliant black humour for fans of the series. (I'm not sure there's anywhere left to go though - the material is covered front to back). The program itself runs 45 min. but could have gone on much longer. The dvd contains a plethora of extras including some very funny deleted scenes, numerous featurettes, interviews, docs etc. plus 4 commentaries (2 groups of actors, writers and crew) and a 'chicken nugget' viewing version with options for sketch video commentary. Also, for anyone wanting to actually see George Lucas meet Robot Chicken, there is a too-brief boardroom meeting (very entertaining). Highly recommended for fans.

Shame on you, Adult Swim!,
This review is from: Robot Chicken: Star Wars III (DVD)
Loyal Canadian fans are suddenly being screwed over by Adult Swim and their lengthy, incomprehensible delay of RCSWIII. A 7 month delay in the release of this title in Canada is inexcusable. Every other DVD is released on the same date in Canada as the U.S. and I cannot understand why there is a lengthy delay. I have tried to get an answer on Adult Swim's website, but no response.

The Last Shot is the laugh-out-loud comedy caper that takes the movie business, the Mob, and the FBI and turns them into some very funny business indeed. Matthew Broderick (The Stepford Wives) and Academy Award® nominee Alec Baldwin (Best Supporting Actor, The Cooler, 2003; Along Came Polly) head a cast of outstanding stars who steal scenes and grab your funny bone every chance they get. After years of being on the A-List of complete failures, Hollywood screenwriter Steven Schats (Broderick) meets Joe Devine (Baldwin), a producer who green-lights his movie and makes him the director. But Devine isn't who he claims to be, not by a long shot. He's really an FBI agent using the movie in a sting to take down the mob. Inspired by the true story of the greatest movie never made, The Last Shot is truly funny.
A down on his luck director finds someone shady to produce his movie.

Ryan Devlin is a big believer in silver linings.That's because the 30-year-old actor, who last week began a multiple-episode arc on Brothers & Sisters after high-profile recurring roles on Grey's Anatomy and Cougar Town, is keeping busy despite being dropped from CBS' $#*! My Dad Says before the original pilot ever aired.Check out photos of the Brothers & Sisters cast"I can't really say anything about how it went down except that it just happens a lot," Devlin tells TVGuide.com. "I had a great time doing it, but I couldn't be happier doing what I'm doing right now. I absolutely have no regrets — I think it worked out the way it was supposed to."Things are definitely looking up. Devlin's original four-episode arc on Brothers & Sisters — which continues Sunday when Kitty (Calista Flockhart) decides to take Devlin's character, her new college student boy toy Seth, to the Walker family Christmas — has been expanded to at least eight episodes.< read more

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Yahoo will close an almost two-year public test for its new version of Yahoo Mail on Monday with several new enhancements, as the Sunnyvale, California, Internet giant boosts this Webmail service that is key to both its usage and advertising growth.
Yahoo will remove the beta tag from the new Yahoo Mail version on Monday and will roll it out to all of the service's 254 million active users worldwide in the coming six weeks.
Because the new Yahoo Mail has been available to all the service's users for almost a year in beta form, its enhancements aren't a secret, but Yahoo is announcing some new improvements.
For example, all users will see an improvement in performance and speed with this "general availability" version of the new Yahoo Mail, as well as an expansion of the search refinement features.
In addition, the ability to initiate an instant messaging session with Yahoo Messenger users from within Yahoo Mail has been extended to include Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger users and will be available worldwide as well.
Meanwhile, users in the U.S., India, Canada and the Philippines will get the ability to send text messages to mobile phones from within an e-mail message window, a feature Yahoo expects to extend elsewhere as it secures agreements with local mobile operators.
Moreover, in the U.S., the new Yahoo Mail will also gain a feature called Shortcuts that has been available in the "classic" version of the service. This feature lets the system automatically recognize things such as dates and addresses, giving people the option of adding the information to their Yahoo Calendar or Contacts list, launching Web searches and displaying a map inside the Yahoo Mail interface.
Although the new Yahoo Mail will now become the service's primary version, users will be able to continue using the "classic" version. "We'll continue to offer both products for the foreseeable future and we'll let our users decide what's the right Yahoo Mail experience for them," said John Kremer, Yahoo Mail's vice president.
Yahoo, struggling over the past year with disappointing financial results and rocked by upper-management shakeups and broad organizational changes, has in Yahoo Mail one of its oldest and most popular offerings.
With the competitive pressure rising significantly in recent years among Webmail providers, due in large part to Google's introduction of Gmail in 2004, Yahoo's radical revamping of Yahoo Mail is aimed at protecting and extending its traditionally solid standing in this market.
Using the technology it acquired when it bought Oddpost in 2004, Yahoo launched the Yahoo Mail beta in September 2005 for a portion of the service's users, offering a radically redesigned user interface that works more like a typical desktop e-mail application.
For example, the new Yahoo Mail lets users drag and drop messages into folders, open multiple message windows, preview messages' content in a pane and perform actions via keyboard shortcuts.
With competition heating up from Google, Microsoft and others, Yahoo has to continually boost Yahoo Mail, which drives a lot of Web traffic for the company, an analyst said.
"Yahoo Mail is a keystone application for Yahoo, so continuing to enhance it is very important for the company, because there is a good chunk of ad inventory they get there," said Mike McGuire, a Gartner analyst.
However, the challenge is always to upgrade services in a way that provides tangible, concrete benefits to users, and to make people aware of the value of the improvements, McGuire said.
Because not everybody will embrace the new version right away, giving people the option of using the "classic" version of Yahoo Mail is a smart move. "That's important, because consumer inertia is a pretty powerful force," McGuire said.
Yahoo Mail is a free service, but it has a fee-based option called Plus that costs US$19.95 per year and offers additional features, such as POP access, e-mail forwarding and no graphical ads.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Today is National PTSD Awareness Day; an auspicious day to share with you some truths about posttraumatic stress disorder that you don't yet seem to fully grasp. Even after 9/11 and our decade-plus war, there's still often confusion about what causes PTSD, how many of us suffer with it and some other very salient points about coping and recovery. This lack of education causes problems for PTSD survivors sweating it out in doctors' offices, mental health programs and communities from sea to shining sea. By learning some simple facts, however, you'll be just that smidge more up to speed that you can stop seeing us as "permanently damaged, like a broken bone – even when it's reset it's weaker than it was before" as one psychiatrist commented, and instead see us more as another expert expressed it to me: "PTSD survivors are like Martians trying to live and assimilate on Earth." In truth, America, you're not to blame for not knowing that PTSD is a disorder not a disease, that often it can be healed, that it affects women twice as frequently as men, and left-handed people more often than right. Why would you know these things if PTSD isn't your personal concern? The problem is: PTSD is your personal concern. We Martians are everywhere. Given that you're sitting next to us on buses, trains and planes, in cubicles and carpools, in restaurants and movie theaters, here are five things you need to know so we're all on the same page: Contrary to skewed media coverage, combat is not the sole cause of PTSD. As a matter of fact, even in the military, rape has ranked as a predominant PTSD source for both women and men. In the civilian world, you can add natural disasters, car accidents, medical dramas, child abuse, child sexual abuse, and domestic violence, to non-exclusively name a few. The number of people struggling with PTSD is not, as the National Institute of Health would like you to believe, as low as 7.7% of the population. What those of us struggling with PTSD or working in the field know is that many survivors do not disclose their mental state to the tallying clipboards. Thousands of survivors lack health insurance and do not have access to the mental healthcare system. Thousands more remain undiagnosed due to professionals' unskilled assessments. Even thousands more mask, avoid or deny symptoms attempting to live an unlabeled life. Despite Dr. Phil's opinion, people with PTSD do not transform from heroes to monsters. Simply: Your biggest moment of temporary fear is our round-the-clock lifestyle. As Holocaust survivor, Viktor Frankl, knew "an abnormal reaction to an abnormal experience is normal behavior." In every moment, though it may not look pretty, we are doing our best to mitigate the frequent overwhelm of our executive function by our more instinctual, reptilian brains. We are being overmedicated by professionals who do not know what else to do. While there are many ways to heal, PTSD is not such a simple ride as the monorail at Disney World. It's more like an Etch-A-Sketch tablet: scribble as much as you can and eventually a design emerges. Just because we're not healed immediately does not mean we need three prescriptions and the advice, "learn to live like this." Lastly, every single one of us contains enormous healing potential. Whether symptoms have been present for two months or over two decades (as was my case before 100% recovery) healing is imminent. With advances in neuroscience and widening acceptance of alternative modalities the opportunity for relief exponentially increases – but you have to believe it can happen. Without belief healing becomes impossible. The DSM-V was released last month. While there was a big hullabaloo about the changes in PTSD diagnostic criteria the fact is that no one outside of the clinical world really cares about the criteria. We care about making PTSD relatable so that it comes out of the ivory tower of theory and into the streets where we live. Those of us who have now or have had PTSD can tell you – better than any diagnostician – what PTSD looks and feels like, plus how it impacts our lives, and yours too. We don't heal in isolation; we heal in community. Acknowledge us, reach out; ask what it means to have PTSD. We'll tell you.

A knife, try a chainsaw or a big axe
Len Brown reckons he has listened to the people and he is going to take a knife to high council salaries and debt. He has of course flip-flopped from defending high salaries to now railing against them.
On top of that his promise to bring in the "living wage" is just going to add to the debt mountain his unfunded promises have already created.
Yesterday, Mr Brown said "messages" about debt and spending were very clear and he planned to address them when he presents the first cut of next year's budget to councillors on November 17.
One issue Mr Brown has promised action on is pay for senior staff – 1500 of whom earn more than $100,000 and 113 more than $200,000.
During the election, he defended salaries of nearly $800,00 for council chief executive Doug McKay and Watercare chief Mark Ford, saying, "You have got to meet the market." Read more »

How it works
The Little Dog remote training system is specially designed for dogs weighing 40 lbs. or less (click here to shop for the PetSafe Big Dog Deluxe Remote Trainer, for dogs weighing 40 lbs or more). It offers a wide range of stimulation levels (10) which you set from the hand-held transmitter. The transmitter is a small battery-powered remote device that controls the collar receiver. When you press the transmitter button, a signal is sent to the collar which activates a static correction. Upon receipt of this signal, the collar probes deliver static corrections to your dog as you press the transmitter button (up to 8 seconds). The transmitter also features a tone-only option, which is useful for correction without stimulation once your dog is trained. The waterproof receiver collar can receive the correction signal up to 100 yards.
Kit includes:

Yoga Poses For Headaches Cure Headaches With These Yoga Poses by Jenny Sugar 10/29/12 335 Reactions 177.7K Shares Print 175.7K 1.6K 286 14 1 If you're not a fan of heading to the medicine cabinet when you feel a headache coming on, then head straight to your yoga mat. Headaches can be caused by a variety of reasons like tension in your neck, tight shoulders, or back pain, and these yoga poses are designed to gently stretch and open those areas, while circulating blood to your head. You can do one pose, a few, or follow the entire sequence. Source: Thinkstock Start Seated Neck Release What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sometimes headaches can be caused by neck pain, so stretch out this tight area with a Seated Neck Release. Sitting in a comfortable position, place your right hand on the left side of your head and gently tilt your head to the right. Hold for a few breaths and then switch sides. Repeat on both sides one more time. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 6 Quarter Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here is a more relaxed version of Downward Facing Dog called Quarter Dog. It takes the pressure off your hands and wrists by having you rest on your forearms. Take deep breaths while in this pose, and just let your head hang between your shoulders. Circulating blood to your head can often be just the thing to relieve your headache. 2 / 6 Grounded Tipover Tuck What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here's another forward bend that's perfect if your headache is caused my tight shoulders. Sit on the floor so your shins are parallel and hip distance apart. Interlace your hands behind you in a double fist and lean forward, coming into a variation of Child's Pose. Stay here if this feels good, or lift your hips into the air so you're now resting on the top of your head in Grounded Tipover Tuck. Lower your hands as much as you need to feel a stretch in your chest, shoulders, and the back of your neck. Stay for five or more breaths. 3 / 6 Seated Heart Opener What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Grounded Tipover Tuck stretches the back of your neck, so do this counterpose to target the front of your neck and chest. It'll also reduces tension in your back, which is one cause for headaches. Sitting on your heels, place your hands behind your feet about 10 inches or so and arch your head back. This Seated Heart Opener makes your head feel light and open, so stay for five breaths or more if you love it. 4 / 6 Happy Baby What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you think your headache might be caused by back pain that's radiating up your spine, or you just need to take a few minutes to relax, give Happy Baby a try. Lie on your back with your knees bent, holding onto your thighs or the outside edges of your feet. You can slowly rock from side to side to increase the stretch in your hips and lower back, and to gently lull your mind into a state of relaxation. 6 / 6 Wall Straddle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This is a restorative yoga pose I learned in an Iyengar class. You need a wall and a blanket or some pillows. Sit as close as you can to the wall with your bum and lower back propped on the folded blanket. Spread your legs wide in a straddle position and relax your arms out to the sides. Just close your eyes and breathe, staying as long as you'd like. 6 / 6 175.7K 1.6K 286 14 1 Back to Homepage Read More Yoga SequencesHealthy LivingHeadachesYoga healthy living The Top Tasty Trends at Natural Product Expo West 7 hours ago How to Lose Weight Without Even Trying 14 hours ago Before Your Next Sip: Calories in Smoothie Ingredients 17 hours ago 7 Seriously Delicious Detox Salad Recipes 17 hours ago Addictive, Easy, Eggless Kale Caesar Salad 1 day ago How to Deal With Daylight Saving Time Sleepiness 1 day ago Get a Personalized Fitness Newsletter!

Jay-Z and Beyonce Lose Bid to Trademark Daughter's Name
The power couple was beaten to the trademark by a Boston wedding planner
The US Patent and Trademark Office has ruled that rapper Jay-Z and superstar wife Beyonce cannot trademark their daughter's name.
Jay and Bey were looking to be granted trademark protection over the name "Blue Ivy," but it's already been taken by a Boston wedding and event planning firm called Blue Ivy Events, which has been operating since 2009.
[ALSO READ:Beyonce Breastfeeds Baby Blue in Public]
The couple reportedly put in the request shortly after their daughter was born in January 2012 because Beyonce wanted to create a line of children's clothing and baby products under the name.
[ALSO READ:Report: Beyonce Will Headline Super Bowl Halftime Show]
There are apparently no hard feelings from Blue Ivy Events over the trademark charge. Veronica Alexandra, who owns the company, said she'd even be willing to come to a financial agreement with the couple.
"If Beyoncé and Jay-Z want to buy me out I'd welcome that," she told London's The Telegraph.
