Kaymer chooses odd time for swing change
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Spraying it off the tee, Masters Round 1:
• Surprise of the first round? Even though the conditions were perfect, World No. 1 Martin Kaymer shot 78, beating only four players – Tom Watson, Arjun Atwal, Craig Stadler and Henrik Stenson - in the 99-man field. Kaymer is 13 strokes off the co-lead of Rory McIlroy and Alvaro Quiros.

Photos: Masters Thursday
From Arnie and Jack to action on the course, the Masters on Thursday.
• Kaymer might rank first on the planet, but he's a mess right now. Here's the chronology: He won the last major, became No. 1 a few months later and then changed his swing so he could hit a draw at Augusta.
Sometimes golfers take a step – or five – back when trying to go forward. Sometimes they don't just go with what got them there in the first place. Or as famous football coach Darrell Royal used to say, "Dance with the one who brung ya."
Kaymer has perhaps the best bullet fade in the game. Why he's not sticking with it is curious.
• Kaymer isn't the best quote in golf, but he was terrific at the microphone Thursday if not on the golf course.
Asked about hitting his new draw in the first round, he said, "I was trying. It didn't really work."
Kaymer sounded like a man without a clue, not a World No. 1. He missed the cut in his first three Masters and is on the verge of going 0-for-4.
"It's frustrating if you never play well (here)," he said. "If it doesn't really suit your eye and you know that quite well, it's a little frustrating. I think that I don't really know how to play the golf course."
• So, what's Plan B for Kaymer? Among other things, it's having a chat with fellow German Bernhard Langer, two-time Masters champion.
"I can only get good advice from him," Kaymer said. "Yeah, I need to try something different again. I don't know what I have to do here. Maybe one day it will work out."
• At this very moment, it's easy to bet he'll never win the career Grand Slam. Or stay in the No. 1 spot much longer.
• Here's a quote you don't normally hear from Tiger Woods after the first round of a major when he's six strokes off the lead and tied for 23rd. Asked if he liked his position after shooting 71, he said, "Absolutely. I'm only six back."
Times do change.
• Woods made three birdies, and bogeys at Nos. 10-11. He turned his round around by making a good par save at 12, then birdieing Nos. 13-14, the latter on a bomb.
He hit an 8-iron short at 12 and his ball came to rest in a hole, making him wonder if he could keep his chip on the green. He did and converted the putt.
"I hit beautiful putts all day, and they were just skirting the edge," he said. "Realistically the round probably should have been 68, 69."
• The Ol' Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier, was in Woods' gallery. Best I could tell, he didn't send in a play or a swing thought. Surely he knows Woods has enough of the latter.
• LPGA star Paula Creamer was in the gallery, attending her second Masters. Your correspondent spotted her spectating at Amen Corner even though she was wearing a camouflage cap, aviator sunglasses, jean shorts and sneakers.
"Going incognito," she said, flashing the big smile.
Creamer said she plans to stick around until Saturday.
• Four-time PGA Tour winner Andrew Magee wandered the course while working for BBC radio. You might say the witty veteran was in a good mood.
"You know why I felt so good driving in here today?" he said while walking down the hill at No. 6. "Because I can't miss the cut this week. I've got a Sunday night flight."
Magee's best Masters finish was T-7 in 1991.
• Sergio Garcia used to be the Best Player Never to Have Won a Major. Now he's the Most Interesting Reclamation Project on the Leaderboard. He shot 69 after bogeying the last hole.
• Tough day for Americans. Only four Yanks in the top 12: Matt Kuchar, Ricky Barnes, Brandt Snedeker and Gary Woodland.
You might say South Korea had a sunnier afternoon. K.J. Choi and Y.E. Yang are tied for third at 67.
• Here's one way to shoot 69 and suddenly improve your mood: Bomber Gary Woodland eagled 13 and then finished with four consecutive birdies.

Aero for iPhone is a new minimalistic weather app that takes a good majority of its design cues from iOS 7. With gorgeous animations, great font choices, and easy to use menu systems, it's sure to be a favorite with users who prefer lightweight weather apps with great animations over their feature rich but cluttered counterparts.
The main feature of Aero is the interface. If you need live radar maps, super extended forecasts, and pollen leves, Aero is not for you. If you want a weather app with a great interface that gives you a short term forecast paired with current conditions at a quick glance, you'll love Aero.
It's very similar to how the native Weather app in iOS 7 will look and feel so if you want to use something similar in the mean time, Aero's a great option. Some of the animations in Aero may even be better than what iOS 7 will offer. If you're in an area that's currently experience thunderstorms, the animations don't just show rain coming down, you can feel your phone vibrate and see animated lightning crashes. You can also choose to receive push notifications for weather conditions if you choose through the settings menu.
If you happen to try Aero, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
That's a nice one! Great aesthetics and accurate info which is a rare combination lately. I don't love the icon but that's just me. The temperature badge is nice too! Definitely worth the 99¢!
Apple pretty much ripped off the Yahoo! Weather app in iOS 7.
Well I bought and tried it even though I'm running iOS 7 and I'll use it simply because it gets my home city correct whereas Apple's weather app does not. It really is remarkably similar to iOS 7 weather and looks great. I'll probably eventually go back to the Yahoo app just because it includes a bit more info, but for a very simple weather app with gorgeous visuals this one's a keeper.
Can you change for instance any of the information on the front page? For instance, if I wanted to replace the pressure reading with percentage of rain, could I do that? Thanks.
Does anyone know how to contact the developer of this app? I have a question and can't find an email or twitter account or anything? Thanks!
The official Website is http://www.aeroapp.co/ and there is an email address at the bottom of the page. firstname.lastname@example.com
Does the iOS7 weather app have a temp badge? That is the only reason I keep Weather Lite on my phone.

Review: The Concept of the Political
User Review - GoodreadsSchmitt is a challenging thinker, and not a little controversial, but he makes some very sound criticisms of late liberalism. His critique of wars and political forces that seek world domination in the name of humanity, justice, or other abstract values is very necessary for today.

(WASHINGTON) - Today, the American Society of Hematology (ASH) celebrated the opening of its new headquarters at 2021 L Street, NW, in downtown Washington, DC. At this event, which was attended by members of the Society, representatives from the association community, and other local leaders, ASH announced that the building had been designated LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum for New Construction, making ASH the first nonprofit association in the country to achieve LEED Platinum certification on a commercial office building larger than 80,000 square feet. ASH's headquarters is now one of only seven LEED Platinum commercial office buildings in the District of Columbia.
"Our 50th anniversary in 2008 was a milestone that prompted us to consider a permanent home for ASH," said Hal E. Broxmeyer, PhD, President of ASH and Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. "The leadership of the Society was committed to staying in the Washington metropolitan area, and it was important to us to create a welcoming home for our members from around the world, as well as a productive and comfortable environment for our staff."
LEED Platinum certification is the most difficult and highest designation given by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which developed a certification system to guide organizations in building and renovating space with sustainability in mind. Many of the materials used for the ASH facility were regionally sourced and manufactured using recycled products, including the wood materials, which are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), a nonprofit organization that encourages the use of products harvested using an environmentally responsible method. Notably, the design and construction costs remained within ASH's budget – and the space will continue to prove cost- and energy-efficient, with plenty of natural light, low-flow plumbing and water-efficient showerheads, a motion-sensitive lighting system, and low-energy light fixtures.
"It was always our intention to build this new space with sustainability as a priority, and it was only natural that we looked to the LEED rating systems and USGBC for guidance," said ASH Executive Director Martha Liggett, Esq. "Achieving LEED Platinum status while staying on budget has put ASH at the forefront of the green building movement and is a tribute to our Executive Committee, staff, and our talented team of real estate development advisors."
The development team was led by AtSite and included architects RTKL, Forrester Construction, and engineering firms GHT and KCE.
The new headquarters building features a multi-media conference center, fitness facility, and "ASH Club," which is a dedicated space where Society members can work, relax, or meet with each other while in D.C.
Reporter inquires may be directed to Lindsey Love, ASH Communications Assistant, at email@example.com or 202-552-4925.
The American Society of Hematology is the world's largest professional society concerned with the causes and treatment of blood disorders. Its mission is to further the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders affecting blood, bone marrow, and the immunologic, hemostatic, and vascular systems by promoting research, clinical care, education, training, and advocacy in hematology. ASH provides Blood: The Vital Connection, a credible online resource addressing bleeding and clotting disorders, anemia, and cancer. The official journal of ASH is Blood, the most cited peer-reviewed publication in the field, which is available weekly in print and online.

Benefits of Joining the UNK Army ROTC Program
There are many ways to participate in the UNK Army ROTC Program. Whether you are a traditional student, serving in the National Guard or Reserves, an active duty soldier, or seeking to receive an Army ROTC scholarship, you can participate in ROTC and become an Army Officer upon graduation. Any student can take the first two years of Army ROTC without having any obligation to join the Army.
A Scholarship student is one who has been awarded an Army ROTC scholarship. Scholarships are awarded to high school students as either a four year or a three year "Advanced Designee" scholarship. We can also award scholarships to students while they attend college. They are merit based scholarships and are not need based. The only differences between the scholarships are the amount of time awarded. All scholarships pay the same. We also are able to award scholarships to students already in college. Provided we have the funds, we can offer current college students from 2 to 3 and a half year scholarships. These scholarships are merit based and are awarded to those students who have participated in ROTC and are willing to contract and become an officer in the United States Army.
LTC is four weeks of intense classroom and field training held in the summer at Fort Knox, KY. This course is an accelerated version of the two years of leadership development training Cadets receive in the Basic Course. By transforming yourself through this rigorous training, you will qualify for enrollment in the Army ROTC Advanced Course on campus-provided you have two years of college remaining (undergraduate or graduate). Once you successfully complete LTC and agree to contract and enter the Advanced Course, you may also qualify to receive a $5,000 bonus.
At LTC you experience the Army firsthand. You will receive the kind of leadership development training that is unmatched by any other program. How? By developing your potential in the most important of ways-mentally, physically and emotionally. You will be grouped into squads where you will gain experience in all leadership roles-culminating in verbal and written feedback on your improvement. You will also receive a stipend, transportation to and from Fort Knox, housing and meals. The four weeks and four phases of LTC can lead you to the ultimate goal: becoming an Army Officer.
The benefits of this leadership training will extend well beyond your college years into any career you choose. You may even qualify for a two-year scholarship that may take care of your college tuition and many other expenses.
As a member of the National Guard or Army Reserves, you have the option of participating in the Army ROTC program at the same time you serve in your respective service. The benefits to you, the soldier, are excelent leadership instruction, outdoor and team building activites, decision making, and goal setting skills. You will also be learning while at drill by being assigned to a platoon leader to learn from or you could be placed in a leadership posion while on duty to gain valuable on the job training as a leader. There are some additional monitary benefits as well upon contracting:
Another benefit of contracting and participating in ROTC is you will be non-deployable until you graduate.
The Green to Gold Program is designed for enlisted soldiers who are interested in getting a degree and then commission back into the Army as an officer. The first step is to contact your education office where you are stationed and get a Green to Gold packet. There are two different programs you can try and do (scholarship, and active duty option). Go to the goarmy.com web site for more information on the Green to Gold Program.

Nintendo Would Like To Just Take Back The Last 5 Years, Please
Nintendo has just unveiled the 2DS, a pretty conscious step away from the 3DS. Remember the good ol' days?
Today, Nintendo made an announcement that caught people off-guard: a new handheld console. The main selling point? In exchange for a $50 price cut, fewer features than Nintendo's other handheld console.
The followup to the company's 3DS, so called because the screen, through an optical illusion, produces 3-D images, is, no joke, the 2DS. It's a 3DS that only produces 2-D images. What's going on here?
For context, you might need to back up a few years, and look at a slightly different line of products. It's almost tough to remember now, but Nintendo's original home console, the Wii, released in 2006, sold incredibly well, besting its competitors, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was a device unlike almost anything before it: the standard controller was replaced by something akin to a magic wand, where motion-sensing technology had players whipping the controller around to alter the action on screen. People loved it.
Last year, Nintendo released the Wii's successor, the Wii U. Financially, it's been a debacle. Even today, the original Wii is outselling the Wii U. Then, back in June, as part of an announcement coinciding with the gaming convention E3, Nintendo announced a very safe lineup of games.
The narrative on what went wrong with the Wii U is that it's still too similar to the original Wii for consumers to justify another purchase. So Nintendo's damage-control strategy is to play it conservative, releasing games from already tested franchises, like the Mario series. Now they seem to be doubling down by releasing a cheaper version of its relatively popular 3DS system. If so many people like the 3DS, Nintendo's thinking likely goes, then maybe making a cheaper version will open the market to more people.
Maybe. But between the poorly selling Wii U and the popular 3DS, I'd probably take away the exact opposite: people are clamoring for more risky products from Nintendo, not fewer.
I own the 3DS and I love it. Nintendo has no idea what they are doing in my opinion.
2DS isn't a bad idea but the WiiU is the worst idea I've seen from any Console company so far.
1st and foremost it's named the Wii U which sounds like it stinks. (like pee-eww) The subconscious tells people not to buy it.
2nd The tablet controller is outrageously expensive. And when released you couldn't even buy a 2nd tablet controller.
3rd Nintendo refuses to join the DVD consortium which they claim helps them sell the consoles cheaper. If I could play CD's and DVD's in a Wii or Wii U without having to hack it or put music into special file formats just to play music then it would help me want one regardless of what Nintendo thinks.
Lastly, Nintendo needs to make a next generation console instead of a current or previous generation console. Graphics do matter.
Nintendo started loosing the whole console market with the N64. Yes, their consoles continued to sell well, but the "Core" gamers who buy the consoles, and therefore the "Games" were drawn to the better graphics/performance of the better higher end consoles.
The Wii had large sales numbers because it was novel and cheaper then the competition, which made up for its lack of power. However, once the novelty wore off, the purchases usually realized that they had a $200 bowling simulator, and went out and bought a PS3 or XBOX360. 3rd party games sales have been horrible for the Wii.
The WiiU was more of the same, just a slightly more powerful Wii with a new "controller". Again, its a novel idea, but NOT novel enough to warrant buying yet another console with little to no 3rd party support. Nintendo's strong suit is in the handheld market, and frankly they need to stop saturation their own market with competing products. The "generation(s)" between the GBA -> DS -> 3DS -> 2DS are getting shorter, and in my opinion only serves to hurt their own market in the long run.
If I were a Nintendo executive right now I would be seriously considering discontinuing their "Home Console" division, and looking into releasing games from their collection on the XBOX-ONE or PS4. I would then focus what money was going into lackluster console development and put it into making handheld consoles superior to smart phones, because that is what Nintendo will loose its last console foothold to.
That, or I would partner with Google to release a "Nintendo" branded smartphone with a custom Android OS and charge a premium for it like Apple does for the iPhone.
Its those kind of drastic decisions that made Nintendo what it is today, it went from being an obscure pachinko machine maker to the #1 name in consoles for most of the 80's and 90's.
I agree with pedro, my wifes sisters cousin makes $66 dollars an hour by doing...
Hey! Wait a minute.... damn spammers got me doing it now.
I would also imagine they went back to the 2D since the 3DS really bugged out some peoples eyes. I have never had a problem with my and I am a pretty avid player of the games but there have been some issues with it.
Oh gee, people have been declaring to Nintendo that they should drop the console and go software for years. They continue to chug along despite it every time too.
Part of the reason they can is that by releasing a Wii for instance, they were making profit from day one unlike the heavy machinery of xbox 360 and ps3. It expanded a market and captured a solid price point for those who wanted casual fun and not hardcore gaming. It entirely dominated the last set of consoles and forced MS and Sony to play catch up.
The Wii U, sounding like "pee-u", won't be any different than calling it a Wii in the first place with all the innuendo you can pull from that.
It's biggest issue was the lack of launch titles and a higher price point than normal for nintendo. Price drop and some heavy Nintendo games finally, and it'll pick up some steam.
So I fully disagree that at this point they should drop their hardware division. Nintendo doesn't have to be #1 in console wars to be successful and turn a profit. They dont' need the top end graphics either. They've proven that and so does every popular facebook/mobile game. There is a huge market for gameplay over graphics.
Every company makes their mistakes. MS entirely blundered their Xbox One with bad 'always on', screwy used games policies, and requiring kinect. Sony which was way over priced last time and suffered for it has a tendency to play nice up front and remove all the bells and whistles when you aren't looking. Fortunately for the both of them, their other sides of business keep them afloat or else they'd have gone broke last generation.
Considering the life of the 360 and the PS3 (esp for blu-ray) I don't have a big desire to run out and buy the next set of consoles. The PS3 and the 360 will last me a couple more years. I think you'll see lack luster initial sales from them as well this first year.
I do agree with the comments on mobile phone gaming though. It would seem to be a niche Nintendo would enjoy working on, so I am a bit surprised they haven't entered that realm, even for retro releases. Zelda: A link to the past on a iphone/android would rake in cash.
Most companies make their money off the games, not the consoles. Once the price for the wii u drops sales will pick up. best all around family console that exists, and it has the power to play higher end games, that the wii lacks. no mention of the wii mini? i have one of those too. cant be beat at 100 bucks, still plays all the wii games except online content.
I would hardly consider the 2DS a 'follow up' to the 3DS, or a 'step away' from it. The 3DS is selling very well these days (number one console for the past three months, even over XBOX 360) and though not everyone loves the 3D feature, the system and games are quite popular.
Rather, it's pretty clear that this new device is positioned to provide a cheaper, entry-level model that will still share the HUGE and compelling library of games available to 3DS owners right now. The lower price point will mean many parents buying the 2DS for their kids and the lack of 3D makes it a safer choice for youngsters' developing eyesight.
While the Wii U is struggling, I think it would be foolish to count Nintendo out at this point; even if it fails to achieve anything greater than 'third place' during this cycle, Nintendo will probably still remain profitable, especially after this holiday season's very strong lineup and price cut on the system garner it a larger install base.

The sex scandal surrounding former CIA Director David Petraeus keeps getting wider.
General John Allen has now come under scrutiny for having "inappropriate communications" with Jill Kelley, the Philadelphia native and Florida socialite who triggered the FBI investigation.
Some 20,000 emails were uncovered between Allen and Kelley. But officials who have read the emails say they were not sexually explicit or seductive in any way.
Now, in a 911 call released by police in Tampa, Kelley has requested diplomatic protection that she is no way entitled to.
Kelley has also hired a public relations crisis firm, the same one that helped Eagles quarterback Michael Vick.
Meanwhile, Petraeus' admitted lover appeared in public for the first time since the affair was revealed Friday.
Paula Broadwell, who wrote Petraeus' biography, went out jogging in Washington, D.C.
Her father also spoke to reporters, telling the New York Daily News "the truth will eventually come out."

94 Tracker Sputtering after puddles
I have a 94 Tracker that bogs down and sputters after I hit any decent size puddle. I have checked the air filter after doing this and it is dry. I have also put a new cap, wires and rotor on it and although that did make it run better it did not affect the water issue. I saw in one of these post someone mention fuses under the hood, I am not sure if this would affect anything? Any ideas of suggestions on what I might need to do or look at? Thanks

Seal up fuse box in Tupperware container, same with computer (but make sure it won't overheat), Dielectrical grease on all connections, Seal things up with RTV, etc.
I'd just drive slower through deeper water Water wings are for posers |

On March 12 & 13 I'll be at St. Olaf College
in Northfield MN (35 minutes south of Minneapolis) for a harpsichord
& fortepiano concert with Keith Underwood (baroque and classical
flute) and Anna Steinhoff (viola da gamba & classical cello). Our
recital—featuring music of CPE Bach, Telemann, Bach, and Haydn
(program is below)--is on Wednesday, March 12, 8:15 pm in the St. Olaf
music department recital hall (Urness). On Thursday morning, March 13,
at 11:30 am I'll give a performance-lecture:
Linking Temperament, Pitch, and Expression on Keyboard Instruments:
Piano, fortepiano, harpsichord
The connection between keyboard tunings and repertoire from the
16th century to the 20th century. The lecture will focus on how subtle
variations in tuning (temperament)--when applied in the structured ways
that were understood and commonly practiced in the 16th, 17th, 18th,
19th and early 20th centuries—can help provide today's performing
musicians with a palette of interpretive and tonal colors that is astonishingly
beautiful. We'll take a look at Pythagorean Tuning, Mean-tone,
Well-Temperament, Victorian Temperament, and Equal Temperament. Dr.
Stephenson will play repertoire by Frescobaldi, Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart,
Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Debussy and Bartok in a variety of temperaments.
A harpsichord, fortepiano, and two modern concert grand pianos will
be available for demonstration. Performance examples from Bach's
Well-tempered Clavier, Beethoven's Sonatas,
Chopin's Preludes, and Debussy's Children's
Corner Suite will illustrate how temperament variations of just
a few cents here and there can significantly influence mood, pacing,
pedaling, articulation, texture, and overall shape in performance.

Drape-Front Knit Top
Great Top
This top fits perfectly and is a wonderful addition to my wardrobe allowing me to create many different outfits. I have it in the teal and black. Please bring this top back in additional colors, especially white.
February 10, 2014
Fantastic Purchase
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful, stylish and comfortable blouses I have ever worn. As a previous reviewer stated I, too, would purchase this blouse in 50 colors if 50 colors were available . . . with the exception of yellow and orange which, unfortunately, do not look good on me. I did, however, purchase the black and navy and they look fantastic with everything I have partnered them with. I love TravelSmith which I just discovered last October!! Now I can't seem to get enough of their wonderful selections.
January 12, 2014
Best purchase ever.......
Ok, girls....just want you to know....I'm 62 years old, 5'2" tall and size 18 most of the time....this is an EXCELLENT, beautiful top......love the fabric and the color, not to mention it fits PERFECT for me......have a little big bubs and it fits marvelous, take away some extra pounds and makes you look thinner and very comfortable. I bought the XL because I don't like tight clothes ....fits perfect........LOVE IT..!!!!
June 23, 2013
Nice design; however, clingy fabric so if you have any "bumps" Does not flatter. Sent it back
October 29, 2013
Pretty Color but...
Fabric has no body. I liked the color and the style but the fabric for me was too soft, did not provide a nice appearance. I would recommend it to a friend if she likes this type of fabric for me it did not work, I had to return it. The blouse was true size.
August 15, 2013
Too sheer
I like the style, however, the yellow color looks dingy and is too sheer. I will be returning it.
March 5, 2011
Love this!
I bought this shirt in all three colors after purchasing just one originally. Cannot say enough about comfort, quality, fit.......just wish there were more colors in this stlyle!
July 11, 2013
This drape front knit top is very comfortable; feels great wearing it. I accidentally got something greasy on the top. i washed it and the stain came out immediately. washes and wears great! if there were 50 different colors of this top, i do believe i'd get them all. great product!!

Ford truck rims can often be cumbersome to take care of. Truck rims can get dirty very quickly, and it's essential to clean them on a weekly basis to prevent dirt from drying out on them. Dried dirt is difficult to remove and also looks very shoddy. The rims should also be polished frequently to maintain their shine. Ford truck rims are available in 2 types namely, aluminum and alloy. It's important to use the correct equipment that's suited to the rims of your truck as incorrect equipment can lead to scarred rims. It's best to buy polishers and cleaning equipment as recommended by the manufacturer.
Since the chemicals in the polish can irritate your skin, you should wear good quality rubber gloves before starting the cleaning and polishing process.
If you wash the rims with soap and water and use a high pressure water hose, you will be able to get rid of tough dirt. It's useful to rinse from the top of the rim and work your way down to the bottom so that the dirt collects at the bottom.
Once the rims are washed, make sure to dry them with soft paper towels or a microfiber cloth.
After the rims are completely dry, you can start working on the polishing. Using the wrong kind of polish for your rims or a low quality polish can strip the polish right off the rims. Hence, it's essential to use one that's suited to the type of rims present on your vehicle. Eagle One is a popular polish brand for aluminum rims and Autosol for alloy rims.
Use your finger to spread the polish around the rims, and a brush to penetrate the grooves and hard to reach places. If you're polishing by hand use a soft cloth in a circular motion to apply the polish evenly. You can also use a polishing attachment attached to an electric drill. Either way, use moderate pressure and apply evenly.
Leave the polish on for 15 minutes, and then wipe away the polish using an unused soft cloth. Make sure to remove all traces of the polish. Your rims should sparkle like new at the end of this process.
Never polish in direct sunlight as the polish can chemically embed itself in the rim. Make sure you wipe off any excess polish that's present as left over polish can go black and make your rims look dirty.
Make sure you use the right method and the right polish to maximize the shine on your Ford truck's rims. Using the wrong kind or a cheap brand will only give you disappointing results.

In Vitro Methods for the Conservation of Endemic Species
Developing micropropagation and cryopreservation protocols for the conservation of threatened plants
Right: Lowering specimens into liquid nitrogen for cryopreservation; photo Viswambharan Sarasan
This is a collection of small projects that include protocol development, training and capacity building for the conservation of some of the rarest plants that are endemic to biodiversity hotspots and islands. We study the requirements for initiating cultures, multiplication, rooting, weaning, re-introduction and cryopreservation. The species mainly originate from the UKOT islands (particularly Ascension, St Helena and Montserrat), Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands, Cape Floristic Region and Indo-Burma in addition to most of the other Biodiversity Hotspots. Parsley fern (Anogramma ascensionis), endemic to Ascension Island, was thought to be extinct for more than 50 years. During a routine conservation assessment staff from Kew and Ascension Island Conservation team found four specimens of this species growing on a cliff side in 2009. The species has been rescued from extinction by combining in situ and ex situ conservation efforts. In vitro methods are being developed inKew's Conservation Biotechnology Sectionto help make the long-term conservation of this species a reality. Cryopreservation of A. ascensionis in liquid nitrogen is in progress to develop a long–term storage method.
Genetic diversity conservation of other endemic ferns from Ascension Island is another project started recently. Island floras are more susceptible to threats from climate change, invasive species and other factors. Some fern species are restricted to only a few locations and not many individuals are left in the wild. The primary aim of this project is to collect spores from different populations of selected ferns and freeze the spores directly in liquid nitrogen at -196 °C. Other projects include protocol development for the propagation of critically endangered species such as Epidendrum montserratense (Montserrat), Cylindrocline sp (Mauritius), Roussea simplex (Mauritius) etc.

Sun's head chip guy heads to Juniper
David Yen, executive vice president of Sun Microelectronics (Sun's chip group), is leaving the company after 20 years to go to Juniper Networks.
Mike Splain, who has been at Sun for two decades as well, has been appointed as acting head of the organization.
Yen has been one of Sun's most visible executives for several years and was seen as a rising star in the new era under CEO Jonathan Schwartz. The departure, despite what some analysts might say, is somewhat of a surprise.
The departure will also likely once again raise the question, "Why does Sun … Read more

Tart, sweet, and deeply flavorful, blackberries are the largest of all the wild berries. In the wild, they grow on thorny
bushes called brambles—another common name for the berries themselves.
Season: May through August.
How to Choose Blackberries
Look for plump berries with the darkest purple color—the darker the better. Avoid specimens with hulls (which indicate the berries were picked before ripening fully and are probably overly tart) and any containers with juice stains on the bottom (a sign of crushed fruit). Also check for mold, which develops quickly. -
How to Store Blackberries
Handle the fragile berries carefully, and eat them as soon as possible. Refrigerate unwashed (moisture speeds decay) for up to 2 days in a single layer on a plate, covered loosely.
How to Prepare Blackberries
Blackberries have rather large seeds—each segment is actually a complete stone fruit—which can be strained out before using in tarts or jams. -
How to Use Blackberries
Try combining them with apples for a favorite British pie, or eat them topped with cream and sugar.

This pattern was originally designed to form the top a plastic canvas tissue box top. As aida is not rigid enough, it is not recommended to use the pattern for such a thing. However, the images could be used to surround a nice frame, or even used individually. Your imagination is the limit here!Credit

News : Rehman banned for 12 weeks for cannabis use
Report : Rehman nine leaves Somerset wondering Report : Jet-set life fine for Rehman Players/Officials:
Abdur Rehman
England Domestic Season
Abdur Rehman, the Pakistan left-arm spinner, will again play for Somerset next season after spending the latter part of the 2012 season at Taunton.
Currently, the exact dates of the deal are unclear but will include the final stages of the County Championship and the CB40. But the club are keen to try and extend Rehman's stay to include the Friends Life t20 earlier in the season if his Pakistan commitments allow.
Rehman played four Championship matches in 2012, taking 27 wickets at 14.18 which included nine wickets in an innings against Worcestershire. He also claimed nine wickets in three CB40 matches with a best of 6 for 16.
But Rehman made the headlines for off-field reasons, too, and is currently serving a 12-week ban having tested positive for cannabis during his spell with Somerset.
Guy Lavender, the chief executive, said: "The club in no way condones the use of illegal drugs. It was heartening to see that he admitted his mistake and has been punished accordingly. It is now time to move on and I am very confident he will do extremely well for us next season".
Rehman added: "I really enjoyed my time there last year and will look to play with the same intensity and passion, I would also like to thank the Somerset management and fans for their support in what has been a difficult period for me."
Somerset, who are still awaiting to appoint a new director of cricket, have Alviro Petersen, the South Africa batsman, joining them for the first part of the season.

If I were to leave this cottage tomorrow, I would not have a single photograph of it and none of myself living here. That gives me pause for thought. I don't own a camera and don't like having photographs taken of myself or my home because of my father's voyeuristic behaviour when we were small children, the indecent pictures and ways in which we were manipulated and coerced to pose for him. Enough of that.
Changing the subject, I found Stef Renard's In search of a personal history here via woods lot and was struck by the creative piecing together of an unrecorded past. Life reimagined.
"… The fact that I almost haven't had any contact with my family during the last years makes that even these pictures feel as if they have a distance to me. A lot of people on the pictures remain strangers to me. To fill the void in my personal history I started to take pictures of my surroundings. Not only places that are seen in the pictures I had found but also places that resonate my feelings about our universal history, family life and my personal history."
More protests and rioting here in the mountains, the knot of tension twisting in my gut, the despair in me at the plight of so many exploited and desperate people. Wide-spread intimidation and destruction of property. A brutal start to the year. Many of the protesters are women farm workers with hungry children at home. Working 14-hour days for as little as five dollars a day.
A woman who works on a farm is most likely to have been born on that farm. She is most likely black, with little or no access to formal education. The agricultural labour force in South Africa is characterised by a distinct gender division of labour: farming is still perceived as predominantly 'men's work', with women's labour considered supplementary. As such, the permanent workforce within agriculture is predominantly male, with women forming the largest percentage of casual and seasonal labour.
In a research study conducted on farm worker wages in the Western Cape, we found that women seasonal workers receive a minimum wage of between R48 ($5 US) and R60 ($7) per day. A seasonal worker's maximum monthly wage is R1 200 ($130), without any incentives, bonus or benefits guaranteed. Our study also found that women farm workers spend their wages mostly on their family's needs, such as food and healthcare. One seasonal worker who participated in this research said that the hardest time for her is when the season ends. The worry she experiences at this time was evident in her voice as she explained her situation. As a single mother with two school-going children, she feels distressed when she is not able to put food on the table or pay her children's school fees.

I have been working at Kontagent full-time for more than a year
Pros – Strong company in a hot sector w/ tons of growth. Awesome team culture, perks, and competitive salaries. You get a lot of freedom and responsibility here - they will let you take on whatever you can handle. Definitely a great place to grow your career and skills.
Cons – Innovation is a bit slow at times, burdened by technical debt, and constantly changing company structure. Many remote offices make it hard to communicate with the people you need at times.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

publicly discussion of Iran is playing a high-stakes game of "Swami Says" – a phony attempt to predict the future.
Shadow over Likud logo
Photo: Marc Israel Sellem
What do people around the world spend billions on every day? What need has spawned more professions, both real and fraudulent, than any other? The answer isn't so obvious but becomes clear once you start thinking about it.
Predicting the future has been one of mankind's primary concerns since the beginning of civilization. It is essential for us to try and be in control of our destiny and hedge our bets against the inevitable changes are part of our existence. If you've ever considered why people purchase stocks, insurance or even a lottery ticket, you know where I'm coming from.
Before you start thinking that I've decided to write a column on philosophy, let me assure you that this need is playing an ever growing part in the delicate balance between the Israeli government and the media.
Let me start by going back to October. Right after the Tishrei holidays, a leading Israeli newspaper published an op-ed, a portion of which ran on the front page. It basically discussed how Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak might be planning to attack Iran's nuclear facilities without the backing of the heads of security forces and, no less importantly, with zero public discourse. No sources were quoted.
The day after the piece came out I wrote a column criticizing the paper for running the story, especially on the front page, as I felt it did not serve the citizens of Israel. I argued that there are many other parties interested in having the Iran nuclear issue shoved to the forefront of the public agenda (I even named a few of them) but that it was counterproductive for the country as a whole.
My editor at the time decided that I was too critical of the newspaper and killed my piece despite my objections. Sure enough, within two to three days everyone was talking about Iran. Just to clarify, I understand that Iran poses a huge threat to Israel. That said, I believe that publicly discussing all of the different scenarios designed to put an end to that threat is playing a high-stakes game of "Swami Says" – a phony attempt to predict the future.
The Iran agenda has made top headlines not just in the Israeli press but in international media outlets as well. But why do they all go along with it? Simply put, it makes for an endless supply of stories. A highly regarded individual of any party involved in the situation can say something and it can make the front page. Who knows, maybe another piece of information or opinion will give us a clearer vision in our crystal ball.
The problem domestically is that the saber-rattling has been so loud it has drowned out the cries for other important causes. Looking back, it seems to have particularly hampered the message from the throngs of Israelis who last summer took to the streets demanding the government change our economic priorities. Who would want to lead a newscast with a lopsided tax system or the high price of housing when you could be talking about a possible war or nuclear annihilation?
Now, just in case the Iran rhetoric is quieting down, the Likud has orchestrated yet another game of Swami Says for the Israeli public in the form of elections. It started, once again, immediately following the holidays. The Friday after Independence Day, an interview with Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin was published saying that the upcoming parliamentary session will likely be the last of this Knesset. Sure enough, on Sunday that's what everyone was talking about and the next day, it was all but set in stone.
The period leading up to elections is when media outlets are hypersensitive. Knesset members running for office are out there campaigning and trying to raise money. That means massive press presence. Every news outlet wants to get a headline via extensive coverage. We'll all be occupied as they look for every mistake, every fight and every juicy tidbit and report on it.
If we are to believe today's polls, Likud will win this election and the status quo will be preserved. But news outlets can't just leave it at that. There needs to be suspense and plotlines. Some parties will lose out while others will gain power. Which ones? We'll be taken down the road to the elections. Meeting and revisiting with the people and their stories. Analyzing every twist and turn and what it might mean for the upcoming vote. Four or five months of tales from the campaign trail. We'll be spending a lot of money to finance a gamble in which Likud has heavily hedged its bets.
That should keep us all busy until after the elections when, like it or not, at the end of the holidays, we'll all tune in for another nail-biting episode of Swami Says. That chapter has yet to be written.
The writer is an independent media consultant and a former producer at the Fox News Channel in New York.

We have stayed here for years and the improvements this year with the new management is immediately evident. It was clean and had lots of newly remodeled facilities, particularly the bathrooms. We had a great time fishing as always. Kids had a blast with the karaoke and crafts. We all enjoyed the outdoor movie. I can't wait to go back memorial day weekend when the disc golf course and new playground is suppose to be in. I'm very happy we gave this place a second chance.

T-Mobile says network was not hacked or breached
A T-Mobile spokesman said on Tuesday that data someone posted to a security e-mail list over the weekend was legitimate T-Mobile data but not customer information, and that the phone company's network was not hacked or breached as the poster claimed.
The statement raises more questions than it answers. If indeed there was no network hack, could there have been an inside leak? Or could it have been something as low-tech as dumpster diving, in which records are obtained from trash bins outside a company's offices?
All T-Mobile would say is that it is investigating how the information … Read more
