Apple's online store has been taken offline for "maintenance", which is better known as "putting up some super-sweet new products that are announced at WWDC". iOS 6 is pretty much a given, but it's probably too optimistic to expect an iPhone 5 being put on presale.

Chinese officials have confirmed that Apple is looking to open new stores in Chengdu and Shenzhen, the home town of Apple's major manufacturing partner, Foxconn. Apple only has to get an environmental permit before having final approval for the Shenzhen store, while the Chengdu location has been approved since late May.
Apple retail employees will be getting salary increases June 30, a full three months ahead of the originally scheduled September date. The announcement was made by newly-appointed Senior VP of Apple Retail John Browett through an internal video, Raises will vary from 1% - 5%, depending on store performance, but this early advance is likely to be a one-time thing.
Apple Retail Stores have replaced the iMacs that traditional served as their "kid's table" with iPads. The tables, which had previously been decked out with a quartet of iMacs, now sport 4 iPads instead.
There have been Apple Stores inside Best Buy (and their subsidiary, Future Shop in Canada) for a long time now, but Walmart? Admittedly, I haven't been to Walmart in years, but last time I did the most they had in there was a McDonalds. Well, times change and Apple Retail just keeps building or building.
Some Apple Stores in the United States and Canada are experiencing major supply constraints problems with the white 16GB iPhone 4.
Have you pre-ordered your new iPad yet? If not, you could be in for a bit of a wait. It seems that Apple have pushed back the shipping date in most counties. The Apple Store now displays 'Delivers between the 16th and the 20th March'. In the UK, it's even worse with '2-3 weeks'.
People in the US, have a little while longer to go yet; however Apple are warning that the new iPad is in 'limited supplies', so they could be seeing a delay very soon.
Did you manage to get your order in? If so, when are you expecting delivery
Apple has announced availability and pricing for the new iPad during their iPad keynote, which won't be changing whatsoever from the previous lineup. The pricing structure will follow their typical $499/$599/$699 depending on storage space, which also carries over the to 4G LTE models at $629/$729/$829. The new iPad will be available to consumers on March 16th.
Right on schedule, Apple has shut down their online store for an update, complete with their usual cutesy post-it note. Since we're expecting the iPad 3 to be announced the afternoon, it's likely that they're just getting things ready to showcase the new products.
Aix en Provence, France is getting a new Apple Store according to ifoAppleStore. It'll be constructed in a way that'll make it almost transparent. It will be modeled somewhat from the New York City Apple store on the upper west side. A store near me in Lincoln Park, IL already has an almost all glass design as well.
Aix en Provence receives heavy tourism and could be considered a prime location. The area has seen a lot of construction lately with the addition of several up-scale stores and shops. The store should open to the public by late 2012 or early 2013.

Toledo 4, Northern Illinois 3
DeKALB, Ill. – Northern Illinois baseball drew even with Toledo in the bottom of the sixth inning, 3-3, to send the game to extra innings. But the Rockets drew first blood in the top of the 10th to clinch the victory, 4-3. Jordan Huffman and Jeff Zimmerman both finished 3-for-4 at the plate.
"We did a good job of battling to tie the game and send it to extra innings," said skipper Ed Mathey after the game. "Tony Manville had one of his best outings of the year for us on the mound and shut Toledo down late in the ball game with his pitch count up. We had our opportunities for the win and played alright defensively. That's just how the game plays out sometimes."
The Huskies (11-26, 5-10 MAC) entered the bottom of the fifth inning in a 3-0 hole and would cut the run deficit to two after a single by Zimmerman and a triple by Alex Beckmann (Batavia, Ill.), his third of the season and seventh of his career, to make it a 3-1 game.
On the mound, Tony Manville would only allow two hits in his final three innings of work and did not allow a run to keep NIU within arm's reach of Toledo (20-20, 9-6 MAC). Manville totaled eight innings of work, hurling 112 pitches, striking out five batters, walking two and scattering five hits.
In the bottom of the sixth, Huffman singled to center field and scored after Troy White hit a ball to shallow right field, causing the second baseman and right fielder to trip over each other, score Huffman and send White to third. Zimmerman would score White on a single up the middle to knot the game, 3-3.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Northern Illinois loaded the bases with one out. The Huskies were unable to score and take advantage of the situation and force extra innings.
Toledo would score on a bunt down the third baseline to break the tie and make it a 4-3 game in favor of the Rockets. Huffman singled in the 10th inning but the lineup was unable to score him and gave NIU its second extra inning loss of the season.
Northern Illinois will return to the diamond Tuesday afternoon for a showdown with UW-Milwaukee, beginning at 3:05 p.m. at Ralph McKinzie Field.
Kent State 6, Central Michigan 4
MOUNT PLEASANT - Central Michigan was unable to come from behind on Sunday, falling to Kent State at Theunissen Stadium, 6-4.
The Chippewas fall to 7-8 in the Mid-American Conference and 17-24 overall with the loss, while the East leading Golden Flashes improved to 12-3 in conference play and 23-16 overall.
CMU jumped out in front, 2-0, in the first inning Sunday after senior Tyler Hall walked and advanced to second on a failed picked off attempt. Junior Jordan Dean then hit a single to left field, extending his hitting streak to 15 games, and Alex Miklos had the ball get away, allowing Dean advance to second and Hall to score the first run of the game.
Senior William Arnold made it a 2-0 CMU lead with a RBI single up the middle one batter later and seniors Nate Theunissen and Sam Russell loaded the bases with a single and walk setting up what appeared to be a big inning.
However, Kent State's Tyler Skulina was able to get redshirt freshman Tyler Huntey and freshman Joe Houlihan to strike out looking to end the threat and strand the bases loaded.
A single run in the top of the second cut the CMU lead in half, 2-1, before high winds at Theunissen Stadium helped KSU claim the lead in the top of the fourth. George Roberts led off with a walk, and Sawyer Polen hit a ball high in the air in right field that the wind carried over the right field fence for a 3-2 lead.
An error by the Chippewas to start the fifth and a walk to Jimmy Rider put runners on first and third, and back-to-back singles by David Lyon and Roberts extended the lead to three, 5-2, and a double by Tommy Monnott made the score 6-3.
The Chippewas got a run back in the bottom of the fifth when senior Eric Wrozek led off with a pinch-hit double down the right field line and scored on a single by Dean. CMU added another run in the seventh on error by Kent State to pull within two, 6-4.
Senior Jon Weaver and junior Dietrich Enns came in and pitched the final 4.2 innings and held Kent State scoreless, but the road team was able to retire the last six Chippewas to secure the series.
Dean finished 2-for-5 on the day for his 24th multi-hit game of the season, while Arnold and Theunissen each went 2-for-4. Junior Rick Dodridge suffered the loss, giving up six runs - five earned - on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings.
Skulina earned the win for Kent State, lasting six innings and striking out 10 after getting out of the first-inning bases loaded jam.
The Chippewas return to action Wednesday night at Notre Dame. First pitch is set for 5:30.
Akron 6, Western Michigan 1
KALAMAZOO, Mich.- After splitting a doubleheader Saturday, Akron took this weekend's Mid-American Conference series against Western Michigan, 2-1, defeating the Broncos 6-1 Sunday.
Akron broke a scoreless tie with five runs in the fourth and added a final tally in the ninth. All six runs allowed by Western Michigan were unearned.
The Broncos scored their only run in the bottom of the sixth. Patrick Duncan reached on a fielding error by the shortstop and later scored on an RBI groundout by Dan Shutes.
WMU left-handed starter Mike Moyer was chased after 3.2 innings, giving up the five unearned runs in the fourth and six hits. Right-handed freshman reliever Will Nimke worked 4.2 innings and was charged with the run in the ninth. RHP Monty Porter recorded the final two outs.
Western Michigan falls to 17-20, 7-7 MAC after the weekend, while the Zips improved to 16-24, 9-6 MAC.
Miami 5, Bowling Green 2
OXFORD, Ohio -- Miami starter Mac Thoreson pitched seven strong innings, allowing two runs on nine hits, lifting Miami to a 5-2 victory over Bowling Green Sunday afternoon at McKie Field. With the win, the RedHawks took the series by a 2-1 margin.
Bryce Redeker had two of Miami's six hits, while Nate Bowles drove in a pair with a two-out single in the first.
Thoreson overcame a slow start to improve to 4-3 for the year. He allowed four hits in the first inning, including an RBI single to TJ Losby, but pitched out of a bases-loaded jam to keep the score 1-0. In their next at-bat, the Falcons got a runner to third at the end of an infield single, but Miami first baseman Kevin Bower gunned out the runner trying to take home.
Over the same two innings, the RedHawks struggled to figure out Bowling Green starter Patrick Martin (1-3) as the lefty struck out five of the first six batters. But in the third, he struggled with his command. After registering a sixth strikeout to start the inning, Martin walked and hit the next two batters before a groundout put runners at second and third. Bowles stepped to the plate and ripped a line drive into left field to reverse the deficit, 2-1. Redeker followed with a single down the right field line to score Bowles, who had taken second on a throw home.
The Falcons pulled to within one run in the seventh inning. Thoreson allowed a hit to the first batter, then a error put runners on the corners. Another grounder resulted in the first out of the inning, but allowed the unearned run to score. He got a flyout to left and benefitted from Dan Walsh snare of a line drive at third to preserve the lead.
In the bottom of the eighth, Ryan Curl doubled into right center helping Miami to two insurance runs. The first two RedHawks were retired but Redeker and Bower singled to start the rally. Curl, who had come on in the seventh as a defensive replacement, lined the first pitch into the gap, easily bringing home Redeker from second. However, the Falcons' right fielder stumbled, allowing Bower to beat out a play at the plate for a 5-2 lead.
Matt Rosinski pitched the final two innings for Miami, retiring all six batters he faced, two by strikeout. The save was his third of the season.
Miami returns to action on Tuesday with the start of a home-and-home series with Indiana. The RedHawks travel to Bloomington on Tuesday before hosting the Hoosiers on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Ohio 4, Buffalo 1
ATHENS, Ohio - Junior right-hander Seth Streich pitched a complete game to lead the Ohio University baseball team (22-17,11-4) to a 4-1 victory over Buffalo to complete a three-game sweep over the Bulls Sunday afternoon at Bob Wren Stadium.
Ohio's series victory was its fourth-consecutive series win in MAC play. The last time Ohio won four straight conference series was in 2009. Ohio has won eight of its last 10 games overall and nine of its last 11 contests in league play.
Streich's complete-game victory marked the fourth time this season a Bobcat starter has gone the distance. Over the weekend, Ohio limited Buffalo to just eight runs. Buffalo came into the game averaging just over seven runs per game.
The junior captain finished the game, allowing one run on four hits while striking out 10 batters to pick up his third win of the season. His 10 strikeout performance marked the second time this season, Streich has struck out 10-or-more batters. Earlier this season, he struck out 12 batters against IPFW.
Buffalo starter Michael Burke would take the loss dropping his record to 3-5.
The offense was led by senior captain Ethan Newton (Norfolk, Va.) as he went 2-for-4 with an RBI. Freshman Jake Madsen (Cincinnati, Ohio) and junior Dan Schmidt (Kamiak,Wash.) also chipped in with an RBI as well.
Ohio would get on the board early in the first thanks to a RBI single in left field by Madsen, which drove in senior Jensen Painter (Willshire,Ohio). Painter got on base as he tripled to centerfield to extend his on-base streak to 39, making it every game this year.
The Bobcat offense put up three more runs in the bottom of the second courtesy of an RBI single by Newton, a passed ball and a bases loaded walk drawn by Schmidt, but left the bases loaded.
Ohio struggled offensively for the remainder of the game as it managed just one hit for the remainder of the game.
The Bulls were held in check as well as they managed just three hits for the remainder of the game. Buffalo threatened to score multiple times in the game, leaving at least two runners on base three time, but came away with just one run.
Buffalo added one run in the top of the seventh to make the count 4-1, but that was all the Bulls would get as the Bobcats improved to 20-1 when leading after seven innings.
Ohio returns to action on Tuesday as it travels to Eastern Kentucky. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.
Ball State 5, Eastern Michigan 2
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State baseball team scored two runs in the bottom of the 10th inning to post a 5-4 walk-off victory over Mid-American Conference West Division leader Eastern Michigan Sunday afternoon at Ball Diamond, claiming the Cardinals' second series victory of the year. The Cardinals scored the game-winning run off a wild pitch on an intentional walk attempt with two outs scoring freshman Brandon Estep (Selma, Ind./Wapahani) from third base.
Ball State entered the bottom of the 10th inning trailing 4-3 when junior Kirby Campbell (Muncie, Ind./Cowan) led off with a single up the middle. After a sacrifice bunt moved him to second, Mitch Widau (Richmond, Ind./Richmond) drew a walk to move the tying run into scoring position.
Estep reached on a fielder's choice as EMU got the lead runner out on the play, leaving runners on first and second with two outs. Sophomore shortstop T.J. Weir (Kokomo, Ind./Kokomo) tied the game as he lined a run-scoring single down the left field line scoring Widau with the Cardinals' fourth run.
The Eastern Michigan left fielder misplayed the ball allowing Estep and Weir to move into scoring position setting the stage for the dramatic ending. The Eagles called for the intentional walk to load the bases but right-hander Joe Battistelli sailed the first pitch all the way to the backstop and Estep beat the catcher's throw to the plate scoring the game-winning run.
The dramatic ending was made possible by the best start of sophomore right-hander Jacob Brewer's (South Bend, Ind./St. Joseph's) career. Brewer went a career-high 8.0 innings and allowed three runs on just four hits while tossing a career-high 122 pitches in the no decision. Sophomore left-hander Nestor Bautista (New York, N.Y./George Washington) picked up his first career victory in relief, working the final 1.2 innings and allowing one run on one hit.
Ball State (11-26, 6-9 MAC) opened the scoring quickly against EMU right-hander Ryan Lavoie, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first. Junior Wes Winkle (Muncie, Ind./Yorktown) led off the game reaching on an infield single and came home to score as Estep doubled over the left fielder's head for the game's first run.
Weir kept the inning going as he reached on an infield single. First baseman Billy Wellman (Portland, Ind./Jay County) put the Cardinals in front 3-0 as he lined a two-run double off the right field wall to plate both Estep and Weir.
Eastern Michigan (18-21, 9-6 MAC) finally broke through against Brewer in the top of the sixth inning as it took advantage of two walks and a single to load the bases with two outs. Brewer got two strikes on Daniel Russell before he hit a bases clearing triple off the right field wall to tie the game at 3-3.
Eastern Michigan threatened in the top of the ninth as left-hander Devin Wilburn (Selma, Ind./Wapahani) issued two walks putting the potential go-ahead run in scoring position. Bautista came on in relief and induced an inning-ending ground ball double play to keep the game tied in the ninth inning.
Eastern Michigan took its only lead of the afternoon in the top of the 10th inning as Bautista issued a two-out walk to Sam Ott who moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. Lee Longo put the Eagles in front 4-3 with a two-out single setting the stage for the Cardinals' heroics in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Battistelli (2-5) picked up the loss for the Eagles despite working 4.2 solid innings of relief as he allowed two runs on two hits. Lavoie lasted just 5.0 innings in the no decision allowing three runs, all in the first inning, on five hits.
Ball State returns to action Wednesday afternoon as it travels to No. 17 Purdue. First pitch in West Lafayette, Ind., is set for 4 p.m.

Fabry disease is an X-linked lipid storage disease caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase, with onset in childhood or adolescence. Features of the disorder can include peripheral neuropathies, decreased sweating, angiokeratomas, renal disease, characteristic eye changes, cerebrovascular involvement and GI disturbances to name a few. Many carrier females can be symptomatic. In males, Fabry disease can be diagnosed by measuring the activity of alpha-galactosidase in leukocytes or cultured fibroblasts. Enzyme assay is not a reliable method of diagnosing females and further testing using DNA may be necessary.

Welcome To Our Global VillageMusic has always been a huge connector for me. By studying, writing, teaching, recording and performing different styles of music, I somehow found that my personal world expanded as well. The wonderful thing about music and the arts is that they not only play a role in expressing personal thoughts and feelings, comment on current events; music and the arts can also play a very heavy role in being life affirming and life-saving. Music and the arts are not one color, one gender, one socioeconomic background. Music begins as inspiration and despite the technology available, carried out by human action. Humans are not one color, one gender, one socioeconomic background. Humans are not born republican, democrat. Unfortunately, as humans we tend to lose sight of the latter facts. In a society propelled by self-interest, it is hard to realize that each and every one of us has hopes, fears, wishes, and many questions which there are no easy answers to. I sincerely believe for a society to thrive its citizens need to work together. In typical cases this can be easier said than done. With the internet, we have graduated to becoming something of a global society, in which positive ideas can be exchanged. However, I am of the opinion that this amazing tool is not being used to its fullest potential. That being said, I have a proposal. I would like to create a worldwide musical collaboration which involves all countries in the world. It is my hope that this collaboration with help to inspire a sense of global unity. Hopefully, this will also inspire others to go on to use their talents in a positive manner. I sincerely believe everyone is a musician at heart and it is my hope that those with even a small amount of musical facility will take part in this project. If you play no instrument but have access to a microphone simply say your name, the name of the country you represent, and a positive message you would want to share with your fellow humans. This would take no more than 5-10 seconds to create. For musicians who have a bit more training, please record your instrument in the key of concert C Major at 120 BPM's. If you sing or freestyle, make beats, dj please submit as well. Please keep in mind that this work is to have content that is positive. Please upload your sound to the Soundcloud Dropbox below . Please be sure to add your name and country to this email as you will be credited for your participation. For those with artistic talent, visual artwork for the song would be most appreciated. Please create an image that focuses on the idea of global unity. Be sure to email your artwork and your full name to firstname.lastname@example.com If you have a talent or idea you believe to be pertinent to this project, please email firstname.lastname@example.com All participants will be credited. Please share this with friends near and far. The sooner the citizens of the world can begin working together, the better for us all. Thank You, Joe DeVita | |||||

A Leggy Selena Gomez Looks Stylish In Los Angeles
February 4th, 2013 3:00pm EST
Selena Gomez showed off her legs in tiny black shorts while leaving a lunch date at Panera Bread in Los Angeles over the weekend. The singer/actress also wore a black hat with feathers, a scarf, a silver cross necklace and sunglasses.
Gomez, 20, is currently recording her fourth studio album and stars in the upcoming film "Spring Breakers" about four college coeds who find their Florida spring break taking an unexpectedly violent turn after falling in with a local gangster.
After splitting with pop star Justin Bieber, the actress recently told E!: "I've been telling people I'm definitely a little bit more sassy now. I'm a little bit more mouthy."
Bieber has also opened up about their break up, telling Billboard: "There's so many rumors. People say I call Selena every day and she won't pick up the phone or I'm chasing her down, and these are all fake stories."
We can't help but wonder who will move on first - and who they'll hook up with!
Check out more photos of Selena...

Wes Welker is leaving the Patriots. After six seasons and 672 receptions in New England, Welker has agreed to a two-year deal with the Broncos, according to two league sources. The Patriots made a late run at retaining Welker, but it likely was too late after their initial contract offer was well below what the receiver was expecting.
The Welker camp and Patriots spent considerable time making nice to each other and talking about a future together from the end of the season until the week before free agency. When a contract offer did come from the Patriots, however, it was well below where the two sides had been last year. The offer read like the Patriots thought there was no market for Welker, and that they'd at least have a chance to match.
After the Patriots' made their offer to Welker, that's when the Broncos, who previously showed no interest, pounced.
The signing takes away Tom Brady's most trusted receiver, and gives Peyton Manning the type of reliable slot receiver that he's been lacking to go along with weapons in Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker.

Cute alert: Attach a rag doll to your dSLR
If Pentax's approach toward a range of colorful dSLRs wasn't attention-grabbing enough (the K-x is available in more than 100 customizable options), the company's latest "innovation" should capture even more eyeballs.
Designed by Japanese artist Ossu Syugeibu, the Cameraman is a headless ragdoll that screws onto the tripod mount of your dSLR, so the shooter effectively becomes the head.
The face is the lens cap, which has a sketchy smiley profile. Sure, it looks ridiculous, but the Cameraman injects an element of fun into drab-looking dSLRs.

City budget has no layoffs but reduced hours
Published on Wed, Nov 5, 2008 by
Brian Gawley
Read More
The preliminary 2009 city budget includes no capital projects and no employee layoffs in exchange for a reduced work week for one-third of city employees and reduced access for the public, the city council was told Monday morning as next year's income and spending plan was introduced.
"It was a tough budget for a host of reasons," said interim city manager Robert Spinks.
The budget includes the council's broad policy directives, a
$1 million ending fund balance and money to study potential impact fees, he said.
"The key achievement of this budget is avoiding any layoffs of city employees," Spinks said.
Public hearings on the city's property tax levy and 2009 budget are scheduled for 6 p.m. Nov. 10 and Nov. 24 at the Sequim Transit Center, 190 W. Cedar St. A third public hearing on fees and charges is set for 6 p.m. Dec. 8.
The city's $7.56 million general fund, down from $8.1 million in 2008, includes virtually everything associated with city government (except utilities) including the city manager and council, city attorney, police, planning and public works, building inspections and parks.
The remainder of the $24 million 2009 preliminary budget includes special revenue funds such as streets, hotel/motel tax and criminal justice, capital funds, water and sewer and trust funds.
The city will have the equivalent of 78.25 full-time employees in 2009, down from 79.15 full-time positions in 2008.
An open maintenance worker position will remain unfilled in 2009 and the police department has lost 2.5 positions, more than any other department.
Spinks said this budget includes "significant" belt-tightening, more than previous budgets.
One-third of the city's employees will work a 38-hour week, he said.
Spinks said he is meeting with Teamsters Union representatives to negotiate the reduced work week. The union has said any reductions should be shared by management, so about one-third of city employees are affected, he said.
In his budget message, Spinks wrote, "This reduction in hours is regarded as a one-year bridge that will be evaluated throughout the budget year with the council and union representatives."
Mayor Laura Dubois asked how much locking the doors and turning off the phones earlier in the day was expected to save.
Administrative services director Karen Goschen said about $86,000.
Dubois also said any future vacancies should be reviewed during the year and then in June they should look at the senior planner position again.
Spinks said the budget also includes no capital purchases and delaying the senior planner position until 2010 instead of July 2009.
Goschen said the capital facilities fund will get no revenue this year because that money is needed for the general fund and to pay for impact fee studies.
"It is the hardest hit area," she said.
If the current economic conditions continue in future years, the city will have to reduce services according to the council's priorities, Goschen said.
"There's nowhere left to cut," she said.
Goschen said the 38-hour work week would be achieved by such measures as reducing lane striping and plant watering in the public works department and closing the doors of city offices one hour before the end of the work day to prevent interruptions.
City staff has been accessible but now questions won't necessarily get an immediate response, she said.
Then a discussion ensued regarding about $54,000 in nondepartmental expenditures including $6,000 for Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce's economic development efforts, $18,000 for the Clallam County Economic Development Council and $30,000 for the Boys & Girls Club from the city's criminal justice fund.
Spinks said any extra money for agency requests such as these must come from either the city hall fund, $1 million ending fund balance or layoffs.
City Councilor Walt Schubert said, "I don't usually believe in social programs, but I believe in the Boys & Girls Club."
But City Councilor Erik Erichsen said, "I don't agree. There's many other programs through churches or charitable organizations."
The city's funding comes from charges to its citizens and the city owes them services in return, Erichsen said.
"We're not in the social service business. If people wish to provide funding to those programs, they are free to do so. There's plenty of other places for them to go," he said.
"I don't believe you have tightened enough," Erichsen said.
"There is no other program that is open evenings, day in and day out, for the teens. Nothing," Schubert said.
Last year's preliminary budget had nothing for the Boys & Girls Club until the Keeler Park deal fell through and the city was obligated to $200,000 for three years, Dubois said.
Maybe if that funding can be stretched out they can do a budget amendment later in the year, Dubois said.
Goschen proposed using "Fund 198," a contingency fund with $25,000, could be used for those agency funding requests.
The purchase of the Keeler family property - 45 acres of undeveloped land on U.S. Highway 101, just east of Simdars Road - also arose during the discussion.
Dubois said if the city can finance the Keeler property, then they can look at a budget amendment for the Boys & Girls Club.
Goschen said she would bring back more information later and this would count against the city's bonded indebtedness.

Botanical Name:
Rosa hybridsCommon Name:
David Austin's English RosesFamily:
RosaceaeNative Region:
The genus Rosa are found in temperate and subtropical zones of the Northern HemisphereDescription:
This is a comparatively new group of Modern Roses that first came to prominence in the 1970's. Originating from crosses made between Old Roses, Modern Hybrid Teas and Floribundas, these English Roses combine the delicate charm and fragrance of an Old Rose with the color range and repeat flowering of a Modern Rose. Because of their natural shrubby growth habit, they are ideal for mixed borders and general garden use.
Garden Location:
Rose GardenBotanical Name:
Montezuma speciosissimaCommon Name:
Flor de MagaFamily:
MalvaceaeNative Region:
Puerto RicoDescription:
Montezuma speciosissima is a small flowering tree with large reddish flowers resembling Hibiscus. The flowers appear sporadically throughout the year but especially in late spring and early summer. Montezuma is grown as an ornamental tree but its timber is also valued for furniture making and for fence posts. Extracts from the plant are also being studied for tumor inhibiting properties for treatment of certain types of cancers.
Garden Location:
Boettcher Memorial Tropical ConservatoryBotanical Name:
Iris cultivarsCommon Name:
IridaceaeNative Region:
Various regions of the worldDescription:
With native habitats ranging from deserts to bogs, polar tundra to rainforests, Iris species are scattered across every continent except Antarctica. Their flat sword-shaped leaves grow from creeping rhizomes that form large clumps. Taking its scientific name from the Greek word for rainbow, iris flowers can be found in every color except true red and black. The flowers typically have three sepals or falls which droop down, and three petals or standards that stand up. The flowering stems stand above the leaves, leading to the common name "flags." Here we have iris in bloom from late April through mid-June.

Live Now: CTV News Channel
Health officials say personal information on a dozen patients may have been leaked after hackers compromised the email account of a British Columbia doctor.
The Fraser Health Authority confirmed that the names of 12 patients and the care card numbers of two patients were potentially accessed by an outside source last month. However, it is not believed that any medical records were accessed.
"We have no reason to believe that the 12 patients here were the target of this scam and that their information was the focus," Roy Thorpe-Dorward of the Fraser Health Authority told CTV News British Columbia on Thursday.
Rather, Thorpe-Dorward said the hackers were likely attempting to gain control of the Surrey doctor's email account to undertake a "phishing scam", in which a number of emails are sent from what appears to be a trustworthy source. Email recipients are then tricked into revealing personal information.
"If you receive an email from your doctor and you expect an appointment, of course you don't question it," said security expert Vaclav Vincalek of Pacific Coast Information Systems.
The patients whose email addresses were compromised were offered one year of free credit card monitoring.
Other security breaches
The email hack is the latest occurrence in which personal medical information in the province was compromised.
Last year, the information of 450 surgical patients at Vancouver General Hospital was compromised after a medical resident lost a laptop at an airport.
The province's health minister announced in September that four Ministry of Health employees were fired and three were suspended without pay after a police investigation revealed that personal health information had been inappropriately shared between staff and drug companies.
In November, Vancouver Coastal Health fired an employee who accessed the medical records of several local media personalities.
Ontario's privacy commissioner launched an investigation in 2009 after sensitive medical information of more than 83,000 individuals who attended flu clinics in Durham Region disappeared. Provincial health officials said a USB key containing the names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth and health card numbers of patients who attended H1N1 vaccination clinics went missing.

Chronic loneliness isn't limited to little old ladies living alone
Tuesday - 9/18/2012, 8:02am  ET
WASHINGTON - Whether your parents or grandparents are home alone or living in a retirement community, they may feel left out and isolated, and it could affect how long they live and how much help they need later in life.
The University of California, San Francisco followed 1,604 people over 60 and found more than 43 percent of them feel chronically lonely.
During a six-year follow-up period, the study's researchers found more than half of the people studied had difficulty with basic housekeeping and personal tasks.
Additionally, the lonely individuals had a 45 percent higher risk of an early death.
Most of the lonely people - 62.5 percent - were married or living with others, according to The New York Times.
Dr. Carla M. Perissinotto, who led the study, says you can't tell who may be feeling lonely, adding that the health effects of loneliness can't be ignored.
Other studies connect chronic loneliness with high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, depression and dementia.
The research comes as America grays and divorces. Roughly one-third of Americans between 45 to 63 are single.
It's estimated that 20 percent of the population and 40 percent of people over 65 are chronically lonely.
Dr. Louise C. Hawkley, a psychologist at the University of Chicago, tells the Times how people think about others contributes to the problem. She says lonely people look for signs of rejection. As a result, they come off as aloof or critical.
"Then, people become more careful around you, so a self-fulfilling prophecy or a loneliness loop develops," Hawkley tells The New York Times.
Key to healthy aging, health professionals say, is for older individuals to continue to build new friendships as they age, especially after retirement.
Perissinotto says the quality of relationships matters. While her study didn't look at why the individuals felt lonely, she says the next step of research needs to delve into whether loneliness is biological and whether lonely people are "simply not caring for themselves."

Style: ti da shuai na6Chen Xiang Videos
While it's my general policy to post only sparring and competition clips here, I thought it would be worth posting these application and technique explanation videos from Chen Xiang because they're so much better than most of what's out there. Mr Chen trained shuaijiao for the first 30 years of his life, after which he took up bajiquan and Hunyuan ("practical method") taijiquan. He's around 62 years old in these videos.
Some explanations of how push hands maps to applications with strikes:
(regarding using Peng for kuzushi: "It cannot go unanswered, and if you give me the wrong answer I'll send you down [throw you].")
Spanish seminar with intermittent Spanish subtitles:
(demo starts ~1:10, includes some nice clinch fighting and takedowns, moves to jacket wrestling at 2:55 or so)
A seminar from Madrid (voiceover in lispy Castillian Spanish):
(demo starts at 0:53, lots of taiji style kuzushi)Most people do not do, but take refuge in theory and talk, thinking that they will become good in this way -- Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, II.4 -

Humor me, why should waiters get paid additional money for doing their jobs? do you ever tip the garbage man for picking up your **** ? The Mcdonalds manager that puts up with your **** because they forgot to take out the cheese? The grocery stockboy that listens to you with a smile while you **** on the market for not being organic? since when did it become an obligation to pay someone whose only purpose is to listen really really hard for your correct order, and not spill coffee all over your dick a supplement amount of cash for doing what they're already getting paid to do, that's like putting an additional dime into the copy machine because it didnt give you **** while doing it's function, I'd rather tip the chef out of courtesy for not rubbing his *** hairs all over my meal than that stuck up waiter who feels they should get more money because a new ******* ipad 12 just came out

It would be a good reveal for Apple to say they have the fastest personal computer in the world and it's made at home in the USA.

The bold is where I disagree. The race to the bottom does not mean manufacturing is better, just cheaper. Otherwise, I misinterpreted the rest of your post. And it's a sad fact that people are willing to give away their best interests for pennies. Quote:
Most of the electronics that I use on a daily basis has an Apple logo on it. I consider myself a fan of Apple and also holding a long position in AAPL. However, I am also critical about many of the things they announce. From the beginning, I knew to take this "Assembled in the USA" stamp and Cook's comments about it with a grain of salt. |

I have a 2008 Mac Pro, and the only thing that Apple tried to make pretty but annoying is the metal door on the optical drive slots. It should work fine in theory, but for me, it gets stuck often. Last edited by faroZ06; Dec 9, 2012 at 09:53 PM. |

Mac Pros have always been assembled in the US....
Ugh, more people somehow thinking this "assembled in the USA" thing is a new phenomenon, it's not. A large number(maybe all?) Mac Pros sold in the USA have been assembled in the USA for quite a while. Again, same with BTO imacs, the Mac Pro is such a low-volume, heavy beast that building large #s of them in China and shipping them by boat or air mailing almost every mac pro sold is a losing venture. They assemble them in the US so that they can get it delivered to a customer rather cheaply w/o having to sit on large piles of unsold finished product. They also used to make the XServes in the US too, but obviously that ended w/ the XServe....

It was about time and it makes sense to start with a less popular product, at the same time the most expensive to transport. With the rise of fuel prices I bet everybody will start producing next to their consumer base.

I just got it because it cost the same as a lowest-end MacBook Air ($1000), is really fast with its 8 cores, and lets me change anything I want on the inside. This was after my 2006 iMac died because of the stupid NVIDIA graphics card that semi-failed because NVIDIA sucks and that is pretty much inaccessible. The result: a computer that doesn't really work without a lot of cooling and a really nice 24" LCD that I can't use! ---------- So the rising oil prices could be to our advantage, especially because the USA is producing more oil. |

I could build a PC using an Asus Z9 motherboard with twin 6 or 8 Core E5 XEON's with 64GB of memory that would double your Mac Pro's performance. Then I could install Mac OS X on it too. All that with more PCIe lanes at a faster speed (PCIe 3.0) and SATA 6.0Gb/ps for SSD's and USB3 for externals. That is why the Mac Pro is a **** sandwich. It isn't like a portable or an all in one, all of Apples design choices for a MacBook Pro or an iMac don't come in to it when comparing the Mac Pro because it's essentially just a giant box with XEON processors inside. Apple has not innovated the workstation one iota and the rest of the market offers the exact same product, but faster in every specification. Perhaps the most annoying thing about the Mac Pro for a workstation user is that when Apple ships a Mac Pro with say a Quad Core CPU you can't just go and drop a later released 6 Core chip in because Apple doesn't support that chip and do not provide an EFI update for it. So as a workstation owner you're stuck using what you bought or upgrading to a chip within the same series that you purchased reducing your upgrade options. This doesn't occur with any other workstation product on the market because the companies actually support upgrades and release updates for new processors. So you may harp on about how upgradable your Mac Pro is and how much you've done to it but how comes you've not upgraded the processors I wonder?

People in this thread saying it's a mistake to leave China since the workers are treated like slaves and therefore the products are cheaper. Get a better job so you can afford a quality product made in a country that cares about their citizens. Take pride in the fact that your product wasn't made by people working 14 hours a day for pennies but by people treated with respect and dignity.

The great grand mother of the Mac Pro was the Power Mac 8100 in 1995. Base price was $4200 and with all the belts and whistles, it cost over $5500 and it was slow, it crashed constantly and it maxed out at 264MB of RAM and had no USB and it was a bitch to open...
Then came the G5. Which, unbelievably almost 10 years later still looks like a Mac Pro and started at $2000... I would expect a $2000~$2500 base price for the New 2013 Mac Pro and up to $5000 with all possible upgrades. That's how much mine is worth now. BTW, in 1991, my first PowerBook, a 140 (greyscale) cost me $3200... It had 4MB of RAM and a 40MB hard disk. The salesman told me not to get the available 80MB hard drive because I was never going to fill it up! HAHAHA What are people complaining about?

Yeah. Back in 1912, people risked death by gruesome accident every day when they went to do their back-breaking work their 12+ hour shift in a factory. The workers in a modern Chinese factory have the uber-risky position of sitting at a bench, assembling small electronics. Scary.

1. Start with an already pretty piece like this and just embellish it until it speaks Fran•táge!
2. Suzanne added touches of Aged Silver Embossing Powder on the flowers that already existed on the metal piece. She just brushed the VersaMark pad over the edges and sprinkled with the powder, then heat set.
3. Stamp a bird with some leaves on Blue cardstock using VersaMark and emboss with Aged Silver.
4. Cut out bird and flowers and layer and adhere them to the "tree"
5. Suzanne added glimmer mist here and there on the flowers, and added a touch of Aged Gold on the flower edges.

Country life,on the other hand,differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together.That's my dream life.I'm wathing heartland season 1 dvd release date these days and find that TNT takes on the medical drama genre with this Treat Williams-led series from David Hollander, the creator of The Guardianheartland dvd is worth watching,meaningful and wonderful!Everybody have something in mind!
I love WWE!But I feel that its a little artificial and not real.The plots are rediculous!I just buy cheap dvd online and find that there are so many problem on story setting.

Whenever you sell or buy a dog it is a good idea to document the transaction in writing. Although it may appear that both the Buyer and Seller are in agreement on all issues, without a written bill of sale misunderstandings and disputes can easily occur. A bill of sale will help the parties by: 1) forcing discussion of topics before the deal is completed (e.g. warranty coverage, lineage, etc.) and 2) if a problem does occur, the written agreement can be easily accessed for clarification or evidence. Furthermore, a bill of sale can also help the Buyer prove to third parties that he/she owns the dog.
This form can be used in Alaska.
This package contains (1) Instructions & Checklist for Dog Bill of Sale; (2) Information for Dog Bill of Sale; and (3) Dog Bill of Sale (the �Bill of Sale�)
