SlashGear highlights a handy little device that will be useful to those who fly a lot, or generally to anyone that likes to rest their iPad on their knees. Its called the AppStation, and comes from a company called New Sky Productions. Its basically a kneeboard that holds you iPad securely to your knees using Velcro straps. The back of the kneeboard is constructed of polycarbonate, and is curved so that it fits the knees snugly. Its also raised up at the top so that you dont have to lift your leg to tilt it towards you. The kneeboard also has standoffs built in at the corners so that your iPad wont be scratched if you rest it face down (does anyone do that?). And thats not all! Theres even storage space for a stylus and a Mini Mag Light flashlight, or a pen or pencil.
According to SlashGear, the AppStation has also been designed with pilots in mind, to enable them to use apps while flying their aircraft. Maybe its just me, but I find that a little alarming! I dont want to be on a plane where the pilot is playing Angry Birds at the same time!
You can order the AppStation for $69.95 from New Sky Products.

A baby is trending and her name is Hashtag
Did one couple take Twitter too far in the naming of their newborn?
Baby Hashtag made her debut in the Twitterverse on Saturday night. Named for an action on the popular social media platform, a hashtag or "#" for short, is a symbol used to mark keywords or topics in a tweet. The baby's debut was announced on her parent's Facebook page:
"Hashtag Jameson was born at 10oclock last nite. She weys 8pounds and I luv her so much!!!!!!"
It's not the first time that a baby has been given a social media-inspired name. Last year, TechCrunch reported that a young Egyptian man named his firstborn daughter "Facebook" to celebrate the Jan. 25 revolution and the role social media played in organizing protests in Tahrir Square.

An Israeli couple took it one step further, naming their newborn girl "Like" for the popular thumbs-up feature on the Facebook site, according to WebProNews.com.
"I'm not going to come out and judge another parent's choice of name, but I wonder if this is the kind of thing that mom and dad will regret in two years when people are talking about Twitter the way we talk about Friendster today," says Matt Villano, author of the "Are We There Yet?: Traveling With Kids" blog on Parenting.com. "That said, if Ron Artest can change his name to Metta World Peace and Chad Ochocinco can change his name back to Chad Johnson, perhaps names mean less in today's day and age than we'd like to admit."
So the million-dollar baby-naming question is, who's going to call dibs on Pinterest? #LOL

Throwback toys your kids will still love
Stroll down any aisle of a Toys"R"Us these days and you'll be confronted with a billion options that are light-years beyond anything you had to entertain yourself with as a kid. Lego cruise ships (complete with flatscreen TVs in the lounge and sideboard jet-skis), battery-operated Mercedes-Benz sedans, and hi-tech tablets with Android operating systems abound. We wondered, as we let ourselves get nostalgic for a moment, if any of the beloved toys we played with as children were still even on the market. Thanks to a quick hunt on the Internet we were able to find that Fisher Price still makes their classic Two Tune TV, and you can still get your hands on a good ol' Slinky. Here's a roundup of the best old-school toys for kids-- we encourage you to click through the slideshow and consider wrapping up a well-loved classic for your little one this year.

Best of 'Dad's Playbook'
We could try to offer you carefully researched and crafted words of Dad-centric inspiration, intended to show you the path to being a better man and, in turn, a better father. But Tom Limbert took up the task for us in his new book 'Dad's Playbook: Wisdom for Fathers from the Greatest Coaches of All Time,' so we left it to him. Limbert -- a parent coach and the founder of the Studio Grow children's play space in Berkeley, California -- has collected pearls of wisdom from an elite crew of coaches who have not only experienced greatness themselves, but also found ways to consistently instill it in their teams. "It's monkey-see, monkey-do," Limbert told us, after we asked him to gather the best quotes on achieving one's goals. "If you want your child to follow, you have to lead." Click on to read the often simple-seeming words that have inspired countless others to follow through on the field, but that can also easily be translated to the school, work, fitness, and, of course, parenting arenas.

Shaina Jensen wants to be a doctor — a suitable career choice considering her bubbly personality and beyond-her-years knowledge of the health care system.
But unlike most teens nearing high school graduation, Jensen, 18, of Mellette is afraid to dream so big.
A rare clotting deficiency called von Willebrand disease type 3 can cause Jensen to bleed without warning, sometimes uncontrollably.
When Jensen turns 19 on March 30, she will be kicked off her Social Security disability insurance.
Private insurance companies have said her disease would likely exclude her from coverage. The Northwestern High School senior said she can't afford the $600 monthly cost to be covered by the South Dakota Risk Pool, which provides health care coverage for people who cannot qualify for other coverage.
And without insurance, she can't afford the treatment she needs to stop bleeding from becoming life-threatening — treating a minor bleed costs roughly $3,000.
So instead of focusing solely on college and career goals, Jensen is fearing a life strapped with enormous medical bills and dependent on government assistance.
"I can't really say what my future's gonna bring," Jensen said.
But Jensen is doing what she can to change that, including appealing the disability insurance decision.
Last month Jensen also took her story to Washington, D.C. At the National Hemophilia Foundation's annual Washington Days event Feb. 16-18, she promoted the organization's stance on health care: specifically, no declining of coverage for pre-existing conditions and no lifetime caps on coverage. Jensen was accepted into the foundation's National Youth Leadership Institute last year and is planning local fundraisers to attend camps that help children with disabilities. In D.C., the group also advocated for funding for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which helps fund treatment centers for people with bleeding disorders.
Jensen also shared her story with representatives of the offices of South Dakota's congressional delegation, who she said are now supporting her in her insurance appeal. Jensen said she reapplied for disability insurance when she turned 18 and was accepted. But a few months later, she received a letter saying she was declined — but was given no reason why, she said.
Even the trip illustrated how von Willebrand disease has affected her young life: To get through airport security, Jensen needed a letter from the Mayo Clinic explaining her bag of needles and other medical supplies and her cooler of blood products.
But Jensen said she's not the only person with health or insurance problems — and she's not trying to get people to feel bad for her.
Her mom, Elizabeth Myers, though, does worry about her daughter going without insurance — without her medication, she said, she could bleed to death.
"I don't want this to cause her to turn away from the goals that she's got," Myers said.
Von Willebrand disease is genetic and affects an estimated 1-2 percent of the population, according to the National Hemophilia Foundation. People with von Willebrand are missing a type of clotting factor, Jensen said. It isn't all that uncommon, she said. In fact, her mom and one of her brothers, Andrew Myers, 15, have it too.
But theirs is the mild type 1, Elizabeth Myers said. Jensen's type 3 is the rarest and most severe form.
Myers first noticed something was wrong when her daughter was an infant — her bottom was seeping blood. Trying to fathom what could be the cause, Myers said she even feared her daughter had been abused. But doctors eventually discovered the cause was von Willebrand disease.
When her teeth came in as a baby, her mouth would bleed, her mom said. Picking her up could cause a bruise, Myers said. Today Jensen said she might have up to 20 bruises at once.
Common childhood injuries could be catastrophic for Jensen. In second grade, her bib overalls got hooked by an ATV, and it flipped her — dangerous for any child, but more so for Jensen. Myers said her daughter went to the emergency room in Redfield before being transferred to Huron, where she was treated and monitored for internal bleeding.
When Jensen tried to play sports, she would get joint bleeds, which cause swelling and pain. She will still randomly bleed into her joints, even from something as simple as walking.

Double O Suspect: Hidden Camera Spy Shirt
The Electronic Spy Camera Shirt from ThinkGeek costs $40 and has a little spycam hidden in the image (ironically, in the camera!) on the front. It takes far-from-stunning 640 x 480px pictures, but only in bright light, making a bow-tie camera far more practical (not to mention classy).
The Electronic Spy Camera Shirt is for novelty purposes only. Please respect the privacy of other carbon based life forms... robots and aliens are fair game. Best results are achieved by shooting during the day. Night shots are only feasible if you can stand amazingly still and your subjects are not moving.
Privacy schmivacy, you can't sell a product with SPY CAMERA in the title and then tell me not to run into the women's locker room clicking away like a madman. It's like that study they did where they left children alone in a room with a bowlful of candy and told them not to touch it. That one fat kid licked every single chocolate!
Hit the jump for a couple more product shots, including a sample photo of some hottie.
Thanks to Candice and jeremy, who don't need spy camera shirts because they're masters of the "pretending to make a call while secretly recording" cell phone maneuver.
The Clicker is a universal remote with a bottle opener attached. I don't know how expensive they are but I do know much it would cost to duct tape a regular bottle opener to my existing remote, so free is kind of my price point right now. And free, as you may know, is what th... / Continue →

DryShips (DRYS) Makes Gains on Tuesday
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- DryShips (DRYS) made gains over Tuesday, adding 5% to $3.81 by late afternoon. The heavy-volume stock saw 11.7 million shares change hands, 5 million less than its three-month average daily trading volume.
On Friday, the dry-bulk shipper announced the approval of loan amendments. The Greece-based business entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement to its July 2013 credit agreement.
"We are pleased with the successful closing of this important transaction which extends Ocean Rig's debt maturities. We effectively refinanced the short-term tranche of the Term Loan B Facility with a fungible add-on to the long-term tranche. Post transaction, the entire $1.9 billion facility will mature not earlier than the third quarter of 2020," said DryShips CEO George Economou in a statement.
The Baltic Dry Index, which measures activity along the world's major shipping routes, saw a 5-point decrease to 1,091 on Tuesday.
Must Read: DryShips Secures Loan Amendments to Help Right Operations TheStreet Ratings team rates DRYSHIPS INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate DRYSHIPS INC (DRYS) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, generally higher debt management risk and disappointing return on equity." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- DRYS's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 11.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 17.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, DRYS's share price has jumped by 53.60%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- The gross profit margin for DRYSHIPS INC is rather high; currently it is at 55.52%. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -15.77% is in-line with the industry average.
- Currently the debt-to-equity ratio of 1.99 is quite high overall and when compared to the industry average, suggesting that the current management of debt levels should be re-evaluated. To add to this, DRYS has a quick ratio of 0.65, this demonstrates the lack of ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Marine industry and the overall market, DRYSHIPS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Finale Is 3-D Done Right
By Hugh Hart on July 15, 2011
The most ironic aspect of 3-D moviemaking jumps into the foreground with the opening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: Depth-of-field works most effectively when you hardly notice it. For the final film in the Potter series, which opens Friday, director David Yates and his team exercised restraint throughout. The result? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is 3-D done right. IMAX Senior VP of Film Production Hugh Murray, who supervised the Hallows 3-D conversion, explained the filmmakers' strategy in an e-mail to Wired.com."David's guiding aesthetic was that a 3-D film should be no more than a richer visual telling of the story and never a...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Sets Midnight Box Office Record
By Christina Warren on July 15, 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 took in $43.5 million at the midnight box office in North America — the biggest midnight opening of all time. Potter earned almost 50% more than previous midnight champion, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which earned $30 million from midnight shows when it was released in June 2010. The Harry Potter franchise is estimated to be the most profitable film franchise ever. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, the eighth and final film has already grossed more than $100 million at the worldwide box office. If momentum keeps rising, this may be the biggest worldwide opening of all time. Read More

.'Transformers 3': 5 Things You Didn't Know About Its Sound

The haters may accuse Transformers: Dark of the Moon of being too noisy, but sound re-recording mixer Greg P. Russell, a 14-time Oscar nominee, tells the Hollywood Reporter that the movie is "the most ambitious" sound mix he has ever worked on. In fact, director Michael Bay didn't just settle for innovative 3D photography, he also insisted on a cutting edge sound experience. Russell -- along with re-recording mixers Gary Summers and Jeffrey J. Haboush -- used the new Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound, and moviegoers can hear the results for themselves. Read More

Single Mom Confession: It's Not All Peaches 'N Cream
September 29, 2011
You know what I love about single motherhood? Hearing that other single moms don't always think it's a picnic. Crazy, right? To me it's kind of reassuring to know that having feelings of panic, doubt, loneliness, exhaustion, resentment—even anger are…normal. If it never rained, the sun wouldn't seem so bright, ya know? After the jump, read some honest thoughts on single motherhood from some very cool single moms.
"I don't think I recognized how anxious I was about being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It's not easy on anybody. Somebody close to me once said, 'Oh, no man will ever accept your children.' And I just thought it was the most horrifying thing someone has ever said to me in my entire life. I was determined to find somebody who would make that not true. And I got lucky. I did. I got very lucky, and he's wonderful. And so wonderful with the children. I'm very blessed." —Reese Witherspoon reflects on single motherhood and her second marriage to Jim Toth.
"I'm not sure anyone — and I could be wrong in this — grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom. Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me. But I got so much out of that. It's golden and it's tough and it was f*cked up. But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world." —Bridget Moynahan on going through her pregnancy alone after her breakup with Tom Brady.
"Illario [Ava's father] and I were in love. We met in Paris, where I was producing a fashion show. He was 10 years younger than me. He had an incredible pull on me, like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I was in the middle of separating from my second husband and moving my business from L.A. to New York. I discovered I was pregnant two months into our love affair. It wasn't exactly the best timing. Illario and I didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things and split up three or four months into my pregnancy. From there, I put the blinders on and just focused on becoming a single mother. I was living alone in the back room of my SoHo office, and he was in Paris. If you would have told me that would be my life, I wouldn't have believed it." —Kelly Cutrone on discovering she was pregnant the night before 9/11
"I struggled, sure. We lived hand-to-mouth, but it was really heart-to-hand. Guy had love and laughter and a lot of good reading and poetry as a child. Having my son brought out the best in me and enlarged my life. Whatever he missed, he himself is a great father today. He was once asked what it was like growing up in Maya Angelou's shadow, and he said, 'I always thought I was in her light.'" —Maya Angelou on her son and being a single teen mom (before MTV made it cool).

My husband and I have been residents of Bluefield for four years now. I felt compelled to write because from a newcomer's perspective, it is truly saddening to read about the current fiasco that has occurred with the closing of the Kroger grocery store in the Bluefield Plaza.
There is blame to be shared all around — to the city for failure to entice Kroger with some sort of tax abatement which might have kept the store open; to Grant's executives for failing to simultaneously secure a lease and negotiate with Kroger officials for the purchase of their equipment; and to the owner of Bluefield Plaza for putting their profit ahead of reaching out to all interested parties. Grant's interest had been more than adequately publicized. In the end, K-VA-T did what any big business would have done — make sure that there would be no competition for at least five years in the immediate area of their current operation.
Unfortunately, it has had a great impact on the small business owners left at the nearly deserted business strip and for surrounding businesses on Cumberland Road. This is not a major city that can easily weather the economic impact that decision has brought.
The idea of a boycott of Food City might bring some response from K-VA-T officials, but in the meantime, why not approach Kmart Stores with some incentive to expand their store into a combination grocery and retail store, or contact a large secondary grocery chain such as ALDIS to visit our city and tour locations suitable for building one of their many stand-alone stores. They are currently in northern West Virginia and might be interested in expansion in our area.
Not only would the city benefit from taxes, but it would bring additional employment opportunities to our immediate area in both scenarios.
Our city needs to grow in order to flourish and out-of-the-box thinking is called for. We cannot continue to look back and relive the glory days of Bluefield. Until we entice our younger population to return and contribute to this area and offer both them and our retired population significant retail diversity to keep our spendable dollars in this area, we will continue on a downhill slide to become a bedroom community to Princeton. Will our city officials be able to do that?

Many nutritionists and researchers refer to Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) as the 'universal antioxidant' based on its fat/water solubility. This allows it to travel to virtually any cell in the body to quench cell damaging oxidation. In addition, ALA has been shown to increase the free radical fighting abilities of other vitamins and antioxidants, especially C and E. Now ALA 600 mg uses only the highest grade Alpha Lipoic Acid available, and delivers it in a high potency that has been proven safe in studies. To further support antioxidant activity, we've added 30 mg of Grape Seed Extract and 5 mg of Bioperine, a potent compound that helps enhance the absorption of ALA.

"We don't have centers,'' Huggins said. "We had a center and it didn't work out very well.''
Then again, that doesn't seem to both Huggins much at all. In fact, it actually solves one of the philosophical problems West Virginia faced when it was thrust into the Big 12. In the Big East, strong center play was the norm. Teams like Louisville and Villanova go along without a big body in the middle - as did West Virginia during its Final Four season of 2010 - but for the most part the best teams had a big banger (think Pitt, UConn, Georgetown, Syracuse, etc.) and you had to have a counter to that.
That's not the case as a general rule in the Big 12, so Huggins has tried to remake the roster. Goodbye to Deniz Kilicli. Hello to, well, just about all the newcomers.
"You go recruit a guy like Deniz because everybody in the Big East had one,'' Huggins said. "But looking back, when we were really good it was because Wellington Smith could drag people away from the basket.''
So enter Dibo and Adrian, both of whom are 6-foot-7 or more and can shoot 3s. Enter Watkins and Williams, neither of whom are 3-point guys, but who can still step away from the basket. Ditto Noreen, whose biggest contributions last year seemed - although it might have been an anomaly - to be his completely unexpected, almost jaw-dropping 3s.
"They're capable of making shots,'' Huggins said of all of his big men. "Now, whether they do or whether they don't, I don't know. But they're very capable of making shots. And we made a conscious effort to bring guys in who could make shots.''
If they can make shots, that will help as WVU tries to do something about that 13-19 season of a year ago. Just as significant, though, is whether they can defend shots. There was nothing more consistently infuriating to Huggins a year ago than his own inability to convey to his team the significance of playing aggressive, 40-minute defense. It came in spurts. Spurts don't get the job done.
So, are these guys he recruited - as well as the ones left over - capable of playing that kind of defense? Just as importantly, will they buy into the notion that it's important?
"That remains to be seen,'' Huggins said. "I can't positively tell you yes or no. Two hours a week is kind of hard to judge.''
That's what Huggins has had to work with his players up to this point, the NCAA's allowable maximum for pre-practice practice, so to speak. That changed with Monday's first official workout. Between now and Nov. 8, Huggins has 30 days of allowable practice to find out.
Hopefully by then he'll have more illuminating answers.

I think I would if I REALLY loved the name. I do adore Alex, but even if I didn't my absolute LOVE for Alexander would outshine. I feel this way about Patrick. I would adore to have a little Patrick, but Pat, Rick, Paddy, Patch, etc. all make me shudder.
Like many others have said, if you (and the child) keep insisting on Benjamin others will follow. I think a lot of people assume insisting means stopping everything and correcting people, but really it just means continuing to call the child/yourself by the name. I CONSTANTLY get called Jess, and it really took only a few weeks of calling myself Jessica, writing it at the top of papers, etc. for people to catch on and go with Jessica too. I'm sure if little Benjamin has "Benjamin" written on his lunch box, embroidered on his baby blankets and at the top of all his homework then that would be what people would go with. Hope this makes sense!

The length of time that it takes to get a decision for a Social Security Disability claim is getting longer and longer. The main reason for this is the fact that there has been a dramatic increase in disability claims filed across the country. The increase in claims being filed is likely caused by a tough economy as well as the fact that the population is aging.
In New Mexico, Social Security Disability/SSI claims can be won in as little as 30 days or take as long as two or three years. I would say that it is more common to take two years that it is to be one of the fortunate ones that takes 30 days.
The following is an estimate of the average length of time involved at each of the first three steps of the disability process in New Mexico:
Initial application: 3 to 6 months
Reconsideration: 3 to 6 months
Hearing: 1 year
If you lose at the hearing level there are additional levels of appeal that can take several more years. In looking at the times listed above you can see how it can very easily take two years to be approved for benefits if you have to go through the hearing level, which many people must do.
As you start the disability process or consider filing for disability benefits you should plan for it to take at least two years. If it ends up being shorter, then consider yourself fortunate.

At first glance, the Miami 2-Drawer Nightstand looks like any old nightstand, until you realize its straightforward, simple design is exactly what makes it so attractive. Part of Atlantic's modern Miami collection, this 2-drawer nightstand is quite the socialite, looking equally at home in your Mission, transitional, or contemporary bedroom decor. The eco-friendly hardwood construction and English dovetail joinery mean it's sturdy and here to stay. Plus, with the metal drawer glides, the days of stuck and sticky drawers are over. Just pick your favorite of the finish options, and that's it. You won't even need to put it together - it ships fully assembled.
About Atlantic Furniture
Founded in 1983 as Watercraft, Inc., Atlantic Furniture started as a manufacturer of pine waterbed frames. Since then, the Springfield, Mass.-based company has expanded to Fontana, Calif. The company has moved away from the use of pine and now specializes in imported furniture made of the wood of rubber trees.
The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Rubberwood
Prized as an environmentally friendly wood, rubberwood makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing life cycle. The trees are removed by hand and replaced with new seedlings. In the past, felled rubber trees were either burned on the spot or used as fuel for locomotive engines, brick firing, or latex curing. Now the wood is used in the manufacture of high-end furniture. It is valued for its dense grain, stability, attractive color, and acceptance of different finishes.
Atlantic's Unique Five-Step Finishing Process
Each product in the entire line is finished with a high-build, five-step finishing process. After a thorough sanding, a wipe-on sealer is applied, followed by a tinted sealer to even the grain and color of the wood. Additional sanding prepares the surface for the first base color coat, more sanding, and a second base color coat. After a final sanding, the finish coat is applied. This process produces a beautiful and durable finish that will last for years.

Comments about Atlantic Furniture Miami 2-Drawer Nightstand:
I ordered two to use in the master bedroom. The back isn't great - stapled on composite - but they're going against a wall so that won't be an issue. They are slightly lighter than the picture, but that may just be my computer screen. They arrived assembled (yay!) and are fairly heavy. Overall, they look nice, have large drawers, and are just the right height.
Service and delivery comments:
I ordered two and both arrived undamaged within a week of ordering.

Pity it was only the proposal.
He was cold.....
Yes, see old Harry in his plush office in Washington, with the fireplace crackling as if it´s actually needed. His underlings carry the firewood, probably ordered a stick at a time from the wood cutters Union , delivered by UPS and billed out as a fuel expense. Life is good for Harry.

Curious how to setup notifications in iOS 5? With all the various banners and popups, badges and sounds, widgets and lock screen options, it can be a little tricky for first-time users, but worry not -- we have you covered! First up, here's how the new Weather and Stock widgets work!
The Stock widget pulls stock information directly from the native Stocks app in iOS 5. By turning the Stock widget to 'On' you'll see a scrolling ticker displaying your favorite stocks. If you want to change the stocks that are displayed in the Stock widget, just follow these quick steps:
Now, the stock that you've just added to the Stocks app will show up in the scrolling Stock widget within Notification Center!
Apple also included a weather widget that displays current weather information as well as a full five-day forecast. Just swipe to the left or right to reveal the five-day forecast. The weather widget pulls information from Yahoo! Weather locations stored in the native Weather app in iOS 5. In order to add or change weather locations, follow these steps:
Now the location you've manually setup will be displayed in the Weather widget. If you have more than one location in the Weather app, the Weather widget will only display the 1st location. If you have no manual locations set and have the Local Weather feature on, you'll only see the temperature relative to your geographic location (make sure you have Location Services turned on!)
There you have it, how to configure your Notification Center widgets. We'll cover the other elements, like Mail and Messages notifications, Lock Screen info, etc. next time. Meanwhile, if you have any favorite Notification Center tips, let us know in comments!
Daily Tips range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to firstname.lastname@example.com.
My weather widget has located me in Washington (not sure if this is DC or some other town). I'm not even close to any town called Washington.
Oops...I just realized that I am in Washington Township! That never occurred to me until I started writing this post. DUH!
"If you have more than one location in the Weather app, the Weather widget will only display the 1st location"
Actually, this is not true. The Weather widget will show whatever city is chosen in the Weather app, not just the first location.
Any idea how I could have a wi-fi switch in the notifications center?
Has anyone else noticed their weather app saying "weather offline" in the notification center? It's happening so much I had to remove it because it was just empty ugly wasted space.
I had the same issue... It turned out to be our corporate firewall was blocking the data. It stops working when I am on the WiFi in the office, but starts working again if I disable WiFi and simply connect via 3G.
Australian users can install Australian BOM Weather+ (http://proxydata.rdharris.org/bomify.html) through cydia to use Australian Bureau of Meteorology weather data in the Notification Center.
Hey, I want weather services, but I don't want battery drain. I currently have location services for weather set to OFF, but I was wondering how badly turning it on would affect battery?
I'm really msiresped with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one today..
Great points altogether, you just gained a emblem new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your submit that you made a few days ago? Any positive?

Illustration: Sol Linero One delightful evening while traveling last fall, I took a seat at the bar of a gastropub on Vancouver Island, off the western coast of Canada. Sipping a local Cabernet, I chatted with my dining partners, swapping stories and debating politics and, after the meal, sharing handmade truffles. It was a lot like being at a dinner party, except that my companions weren't old friends. They were the waitress, bartender, and another patron two stools over—all of whom I'd just met.
Once upon a time, I'd have spent that night in the company of cable TV and a room-service tray. Like most people, I'd always considered restaurants to be social destinations as much as culinary ones; without company, it simply wouldn't have occurred to me to go out to eat. But if there's one thing I've learned working as a travel writer—a job that requires much venturing out on one's own—it's that dining with me, myself, and I can be a delicious experience. There's an art to doing it right. If I'm in a chatty mood, I'll choose a small, funky place—the sort of joint where the food tells a story about the people who grow and cook it—and start asking questions. About the seasonal greens in the veggie special. About the art gallery next door. About how my server is doing that evening. The conversations that result bring a sense of place that can be elusive when I'm focused on a dining companion, and I get to know people I wouldn't otherwise have met. But there are other times when I choose instead to indulge in what has become my soulful, foodie treat, taking that rare opportunity to be in my head, zone out without apology, and connect with what's on my plate. Free from distractions, I can focus on the subtle grassy notes in my goat cheese or how it feels when I let it slowly melt on my tongue. Often I eat less—studies have found that dining with others can increase the number of calories you consume—but taste so much more. As I write this, I've just returned from an assignment in Italy. Though the language barrier prevented much conversation, I watched plates come out of the kitchen and smiled at the happy families and couples all around me and savored every last mouthful of my ravioli. The waiters seemed so charmed by the notion of a woman dining alone that they presented me with a gratis glass of wine and the most delicious tiramisu I've ever tasted. Best of all? I didn't have to share. Three Tips for Making the Most of Your Next Solo Meal: 1. If you'd like to strike up a conversation, eat at the bar or choose a restaurant with communal seating. (And make sure it's not too loud.) If neither is available, ask for a table with a good view of the floor (or open kitchen, if there is one) and dine before or after the dinner rush, when your server will have time to chat. 2. If you're hoping to focus solely on your food, choose a restaurant that serves tapas or small plates so you can try a variety of items, or ask for a few half portions. 3. Feeling nervous about your reservation for one? Bring a book if you must, but resist the urge to stay glued to your phone or catch up on work. The point of dining solo is to enjoy some quality time you—not your to-do list. Keep Reading From the September 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Composting - helping you to Grow Your Own |
Making and using compost is the cornerstone of organic gardening - if you want to 'Grow Your Own', there's no better place to start. The finished product is rich, dark, crumbly and sweet-smelling. It is made of recycled garden and kitchen waste, and can also include paper products. It is used to feed and condition the soil and in making potting mixes. Around 40 per cent of the average dustbin contents are suitable for home composting so it helps cut down on landfill too. Making compost is often considered to be complex but all you need to do is provide the right ingredients and let nature do the rest - however, a little know-how will help you make better compost, more efficiently. |

Education Management Corporation Stock Downgraded (EDMC)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Education Management Corporation (Nasdaq:EDMC) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself, deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and feeble growth in its earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Looking at the price performance of EDMC's shares over the past 12 months, there is not much good news to report: the stock is down 36.31%, and it has underformed the S&P 500 Index. In addition, the company's earnings per share are lower today than the year-earlier quarter. Despite the heavy decline in its share price, this stock is still more expensive (when compared to its current earnings) than most other companies in its industry.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and greatly underperformed compared to the Diversified Consumer Services industry average. The net income has significantly decreased by 26.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $85.28 million to $63.13 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Diversified Consumer Services industry and the overall market, EDUCATION MANAGEMENT CORP's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$124.30 million or 119.55% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- EDUCATION MANAGEMENT CORP's earnings per share declined by 19.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, EDUCATION MANAGEMENT CORP increased its bottom line by earning $1.65 versus $1.18 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 31.5% in earnings ($1.13 versus $1.65).

Our graduate students have outstanding academic records and enthusiasm for research, and many are also externally funded by scholarships and grants. Our graduate programs are designed to prepare students for careers in research and teaching, or for applied opportunities in various community and social agencies; our undergraduate programs provide comprehensive education and training in psychology and neuroscience.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS Psychology touches almost every aspect of our lives. As society has become more complex, psychology has assumed an increasingly important role in answering questions about our functioning, abilities, and behaviour. The Psychology program at Laurier is structured to ensure that students are exposed to the breadth of content that exists within the discipline while still permitting sufficient flexibility for students to pursue their own particular interests.
