BANJO BANJO BANJO. My banjo never fails me, it never leaves me, never questions where I've been or where i'm going. It sticks around, and stays faithful to my hands and my hands alone. It occasionally gets out of tune, or doesn't sound the way I want it to, but ultimately that is my fault for neglecting it. It's always here when I get home, and is ready to be played at any time. I love my banjo, and only other banjo players could understand this.

Effect of salinity on germination and seedling growth of Canola (Brassica napus L.)

Effect of salinity on germination and seedling growth of Canola (Brassica napus L.)
Bahizire, Francois B.
Date Issued:
Soil salinity is a serious constrain to crop production in many countries. In the Western Cape canola production area, large variability in soil properties within the same field is a very common feature. Some of this variability may be ascribed to differences in salinity. These saline patches affected the germination and survival of cereal crops like wheat and may therefore also be a reason for the high variability and generally low canola yields obtained in this area. It will therefore be important to quantify the effect of such saline conditions on the germination and seedling establishment of canola in an effort to improve yields. In this study several experiments were conducted under controlled conditions in either Petri dishes in an incubator or pots in a temperature controlled glasshouse to determine the salinity response of canola. Results of the experiments done in Petri dishes, showed that the germination response of canola (Brassica napus L., cv. Tornado) to increasing levels of salinity is very similar to that of wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv SST 88). Although canola germinated more rapidly than wheat at a temperature of 20 ºC, the final percentage germination for both crops decreased severely when NaCl induced salinity exceeded levels of an EC of 8 dS m-1, but less severe responses were obtained with NaCl/CaCl2 induced salinity. Under soil conditions an interaction between soil type and salinity level showed that the responses in sandy soil to an increase in salinity from 0 to 8 iv dS m-1 were less severe than in loamy soil and especially when salinity stress was induced by NaCl. Although cultivar Spektrum showed more tolerance to saline conditions during the germination and seedling stages in pot experiments when compared to other cultivars tested, these results will have to be confirmed in field trails where grain yield and quality can be measured.

It might be the elephant in the room but – rightly or wrongly – Snow White & The Huntsman is more likely to be remembered for its off-screen antics than its on-screen ones.
Unfortunate, that, but Rupert Sanders' supposedly revisionist fairytale doesn't do itself any favours.
Overly long, largely humourless and ticking off pretty much every fantasy movie cliché in the storybook, SWATH is bursting with visual inventiveness but seriously lacking in heart.
Once upon a time, Kristen Stewart's beautiful princess is forced into exile when her father is murdered by her evil stepmother, Ravenna (Charlize Theron). Aided by Chris Hemsworth's eponymous brute and eight tough-as-nails dwarves, K-Stew plots to overthrow the witch and reclaim her kingdom…
It's well-trodden territory, but Theron sizzles as the youth-sucking super-bitch, while Hemsworth cuts a dash as the rugged, axe-swinging Huntsman.
Trouble is, aside from a passable English accent, there's nothing convincing about Stewart's White - a heroine that somehow morphs from frail young beauty to armour-plated avenger in the space of five minutes.
Yes, the artistic flourishes are impressive - Theron bathing in a vat of milk, glass soldiers smashing into smithereens…
But Sanders' tedious fable is all style, very little substance. DVD extras include a chat-track and a featurette on the film's dwarves, while the Blu-ray offers more insight into the film's lavish production.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Justin Gage
Tue Sep 27, 2011 8:15 am The Titans will sign free agent WR Justin Gage, sources tell ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage spent the last four seasons with the Titans before being released at final cuts this year. He'll be insurance behind Damian Williams and Lavelle Hawkins with Kenny Britt (knee) done for the year.
Source: ESPN.com
Sat Sep 3, 2011 11:32 am Titans released WR Justin Gage.
Fantasy Source Spin: Increasingly less explosive in recent seasons, Gage tallied just one catch this preseason after making only four for 20 yards in 11 games in 2010. After eight years in the league, he's near the end of the line.
Sun Aug 28, 2011 7:20 pm Justin Gate has just one target in three preseason games.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Titans insist Gate is having a fine training camp, but his playing time has decreased three straight weeks. Gage is due $3.5 million as the fourth receiver while Damian Williams continues to move up the depth chart,. We can't imagine a scenario where the Titans keep Gage around at that price.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Mon Aug 1, 2011 3:24 pm Justin Gage has had a hard time staying on the field over the last three seasons due to injuries, though he has been a red-zone threat due to his size and hands. This trend isn't a positive one, however.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage could reemerge as an end-zone target again, but it's not likely.
Source: Fantasy Source
Wed May 4, 2011 11:28 pm ESPN AFC South blogger Paul Kuharsky expects the Titans to part ways with free agent WR Justin Gage.
Fantasy Source Spin: Jeff Fisher and Mike Heimerdinger had an odd fascination with Gage, who has been mediocrity personified for four years in Nashville. Last year's third-rounder Damian Williams is expected to battle Nate Washington for the starting job opposite Kenny Britt. Barring a free agent addition, Lavelle Hawkins will slot in as the No. 4 receiver.
Source: ESPN.com
Sun Jan 2, 2011 3:01 pm Titans declared Justin Gage inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage was not on the injury report this week, so it looks like he's just sitting the season finale out so the Titans can get a look at Damien Williams. His season ends with just 20 catches for 266 yards and one touchdown in 11 games. This passing game can't support more than one wideout, and that wideout is clearly Kenny Britt going forward. Other Titans inactives today: Third QB Rusty Smith, TE Bo Scaife, T Troy Kropog, DT Jovan Haye, LB David Thornton, S Robert Johnson and S Vincent Fuller.
Sun Dec 5, 2010 4:59 pm Justin Gage had just one catch for 25 yards in the team's Week 13 loss.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage still hasn't found the end zone this season, and can safely be left on the waiver wire in all formats.
Mon Nov 15, 2010 5:50 pm The Titans used Justin Gage as their primary slot receiver in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, in place of rookie Damian Williams.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage was targeted a whopping nine times, but caught just three for 18 yards. "Gage has been a starter here for a number of years," coach Jeff Fisher said. "Damian is up and coming. He's learning and making plays. But we felt like Gage could play the slot and he does a good job with it. He gets open."
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Sun Nov 14, 2010 6:07 pm Justin Gage caught three passes for 18 yards in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Miami.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage saw nine targets on the afternoon, though a majority of those looks were overthrows. He lacks big play ability, and won't see enough snaps to be a factor in fantasy leagues.
Tue Nov 2, 2010 9:04 am Justin Gage (hamstring) is expected to return after the Titans' bye week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage has been practicing fully for a couple weeks but has been inactive on gamedays. The Titans need him now that Kenny Britt will be sidelined for several games. He'll return as the starter opposite Nate Washington.
Source: Nashville Tennessean
Sun Oct 31, 2010 2:52 pm Justin Gage (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage likely wasn't going to start over Kenny Britt anyway, but it's interesting that he's practicing fully but not dressing on Sundays. Rookie Damien Williams may have passed Gage on the depth chart. Other Titans inactives: Third QB Rusty Smith, T Troy Kropog, G Ryan Durand, DT Tony Brown, LB Jamie Winborn, CB Ryan Mouton and S Robert Johnson.
Fri Oct 29, 2010 12:07 pm Coach Jeff Fisher isn't guaranteeing that Justin Gage (hamstring) will regain his starting job if he plays this week.
Fantasy Source Spin: "We'll have five (receivers) up and they're all going to play," said Fisher. It's a departure from precedent for Fisher, who has previously re-installed Gage as a starter upon returning from injuries. He may be loyal, but he's not short-sighted enough to take Kenny Britt out of the lineup.

Thu Oct 28, 2010 6:09 pm Justin Gage (hamstring) is practicing fully for a second straight week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage did the same last week only to be held out of the game. He should finally be ready to suit up this week, but there's no way the Titans can hand him his starting job back. They're now second in the NFL in scoring thanks to Kenny Britt's emergence as the lone threat to take safeties out of the box.
Thu Oct 21, 2010 5:46 pm Justin Gage (hamstring) practiced in full again on Thursday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gage is on track to return against the Eagles this week, but coach Jeff Fisher indicated that he won't be rushed back into his starting role until he's proven to be 100 percent. Kenny Britt should be safe for WR3 value for at least one more week.
Source: Paul Kuharsky on Twitter
Mon Oct 18, 2010 7:17 pm Titans declared WR Justin Gage, CB Jason McCourty, S Robert Johnson, LB Rennie Curran, T Troy Kropog, G Ryan Durand, DT Amon Gordon, and third QB Rusty Smith inactive for Week 6.
Fantasy Source Spin: Kenny Britt starts opposite Nate Washington on Monday Night Football. DTs Tony Brown and Sen'Derrick Marks, both dealing with knee injuries, are active. As is Chris Johnson, who was listed in the injury report as "probable."
Source: John Glennon on Twitter
Sat Oct 16, 2010 4:29 pm As expected, WR Justin Gage has been ruled out for the Titans' Week 6 Monday Night matchup against Jacksonville.
Fantasy Source Spin: Kenny Britt will start in Gage's place, and makes an intriguing WR3 play versus a 29th-ranked Jaguar pass defense that has surrendered a league-high 12 TD tosses.
Source: Titans Online
Fri Oct 15, 2010 3:41 pm Justin Gage (hamstring) missed Titans practice on Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Titans don't play until Monday night, so their official injury report will be released on Saturday. Gage won't play, and Kenny Britt will start.
Source: Jim Wyatt on Twitter
Thu Oct 14, 2010 3:20 pm Justin Gage (hamstring) is not practicing again this week.
Fantasy Source Spin: Great news for those who picked up Kenny Britt this week or last. With Gage almost certainly out for Monday night, Britt is a borderline WR2/3 against a Jags secondary that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.
Source: Terry McCormick on Twitter
Sun Oct 3, 2010 1:59 pm Titans WR Justin Gage left Sunday's game against the Broncos with a hamstring injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: According to Titans Radio, Gage will not return. WR Kenny Britt caught an 8-yard touchdown pass with Gage out, and has the most to gain if Britt misses extended time.

WWE has started teasing the upcoming release of the Paul Heyman DVD, which will be called The Paul Heyman story. The company plans on making the documentary of the former ECW owner available to the public some time in August of this year.
WWE has contacted Jim Ross for some work. The longtime commentator is being brought back into the fold to help out with the upcoming Paul Heyman DVD being produced. The belief is that he will be telling some stories on the former ECW owner.
All signs are pointing to WWE working on a brand new Ultimate Warrior DVD, one that will not mock him like the previous one. There are talks that it will be released around Wrestlemania time to coincide with a possible induction ceremony.
Since the company likes fresh starts at Wrestlemania, WWE officials have been checking out a couple of the developmental wrestlers to see which ones are ready to be called up to the main roster. This week, they're checking out Tyler Breeze, who worked live events with Justin Gabriel this weekend.

Re: What is WMDM PMSP Service?
It's a service associated with Windows Media Player, it mainly handles digital copyrights (copy protection et al), etc. It should be safe to disable it, but if you see odd behaviour with WMP then set it to Manual.-Mark

Outhouse Makes Wild Man of Steel Sequel Speculations, Hopes That They Go Viral Too
- Written by ThanosCopter on Monday, January 06 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: ThanosCopter Newswire
Earlier today, the Outhouse and countless other sites reported on a piece of idle speculation concerning the upcoming Man of Steel sequel over at Batman-on-film.com. The writer of the article, Jett, speculated that the Amazon warriors of Paradise Island would be reimagined as a Kryptonian offshoot that settled on Earth centuries ago.
Despite the writer repeatedly mentioning that this was just a bit of speculation with no basis of fact, the Internet went nuts, and the Batman-on-film article went viral, probably because it's a terrible idea, and just about everyone wants to see the movie turn into a hot mess (except for those people who blindly support DC/WB and are claiming that the Man of Steel sequel will be bigger than Jesus).
Since it's clear that the Internet has abandoned any sense of reading comprehension, here's some more made-up rumors that we hope will go viral.
1) Bruce Wayne will never actually be named in the movie, thus allowing fans to speculate if Batfleck is Wayne or Joseph Gordon-Levitt's John Blake character.
2) The Batmobile will somehow be simultaneously based on the old-school Batmobile from the 1966 TV show AND the Tumblr. There will be angles. Lots of angles.
3) Batman will be bisexual and will be in a love triangle with both Superman and Wonder Woman. Think Captain Jack Harkness, only Batmannier.
4) The movie will tie into the Arrow universe. John Diggle will appear as Green Lantern.
5) Every single actor rumored to play Lex Luthor will actually play Lex Luthor. He'll have a holographic imaging thing obscuring his face, which will make it that much easier to recast him as the Joker for the next movie.
6) We'll finally get that Superman/Wonder Woman sex scene people have been clamoring for for decades. It'll incorporate Wonder Woman's history with bondage.
7) The true villain of the movie will be revealed to be a cabal featuring Jonathan Kent, Thomas Wayne and Jor-El. Their resurrection will be explained in Man of Steel: Blackest Night, which will come out in 2017.
8) Robert Downey Jr. will cameo as Iron Man, although they won't name him because of legal reasons.
9) Christopher Reeve's CGI cameo will have an extended role as Earth-2 Superman.
10) Bizarro will make an appearance in the movie. During the climatic battle, he'll save lives, not kill his enemies and keep the city of Metropolis from getting destroyed.
Again, we totally made these up. But, If anyone asks how we know these completely fake plot points to the movie, it's because we're thick with DC executives and we have a bonafide Hollywood insider getting mad scoops and keeping score. So please link to our article and be sure to not mention that we're full of shit.

How to Store Produce Without Plastic
Great tips on storing fruits.
Apples. Store on a cool counter or shelf for up to two weeks. For longer storage, place in a cardboard box* in the fridge.
Citrus. Store in a cool place with good airflow, never in an airtight container.
Apricots/Nectarines/Peaches. On a cool counter or fridge if fully ripe.
Cherries. Store in an airtight container. Don't wash until ready to eat; added moisture encourages mold.
Berries. Very fragile; stack in a single layer if possible in a paper bag* or reusable container. Only wash before you plan on eating them.
Dates. Drier dates (like Deglet Noor) are fine stored on the counter in a bowl or the paper bag* they were bought in. Store moist dates (like Medjool) in the refrigerator for longer than a week, either in cloth or a paper bag to minimize moisture (Terry says a glass mason jar also works).
Melons. Store uncut in a cool, dry place, out of the sun up to a couple weeks. Cut melon should be in the fridge; an open container is fine.
VEGETABLESAlways remove any tight bands from your vegetables to allow them to breathe.
Asparagus. Place loosely in a glass or bowl upright with water at room temperature (will keep for a week outside the fridge).
Avocados. Place in a paper bag at room temp. (To speed up ripening, place an apple in the bag.) Terry places hers directly in the fridge; for a cut avocado half, she keeps the pit in and places it in a glass wire bale jar.
Basil. Store in an airtight container/jar loosely packed with a small damp piece of paper* inside, left out on a cool counter.
Broccoli. Store in the fridge: Place in an open container or wrap in a damp towel.
Carrots/Celery/Radishes. Cut off tops to keep fresh longer and place in a closed container with plenty of moisture. Terry stores these immersed in containers of water in the fridge (change water frequently).
Corn. Leave unhusked in an open container if you must, but corn really is best the day it's picked.
Cucumber. Wrap in a moist towel in the fridge. (Terry likes plain cotton tea towels.) Fine in a cool room if you're planning on eating them within a day or two.
Garlic/Onion/Potatoes. Store in a cool, dark, place. (For onions, good air circulation is best; don't stack.)
Greens (Collards, Chard, Kale). Store upright in a glass of water (like a bouquet) on the counter or fridge. Eat these vegetables first, since they lose color quickly.
Lettuce. Keep damp in an airtight container in the fridge. Terry admits that salad greens are difficult to keep fresh; her strategy is to eat these early in the week, though some of her readers have had success vacuum packing in glass.
Spinach. Store loose in an open container in the crisper, cool as soon as possible.
Sweet Peppers. Only wash right before eating; wetness decreases storage time. Store in a cool room to use in a couple of days, in the crisper if longer storage is needed.Sweet Potatoes. Store in a cool, dark, well‐ventilated place. Never refrigerate.
Tomatoes. Also never refrigerate. Depending on ripeness, tomatoes can stay for up to two weeks on the counter.
Zucchini. Fine for a few days if left out on a cool counter, even after cut. Wrap in a cloth and refrigerate for longer storage.

Kobo Aura HD £139.99
2nd May 2013 | 14:03
An ereader 'reimagined', but not really
The Kobo Aura HD has landed on the ereader market as a direct rival to the better known, and more popular, Amazon Paperwhite, and, to a lesser extent, other tablet devices offering similar services such as the Nook Simple Touch Glowlight.
Kobo are positioning the Aura HD as a high-end ereading device that is built for people who love books and nothing else.
That does mean, however, that the e-ink Aura HD will only offer a reading experience and no multimedia functionality. You will be able to read newspapers and magazines with the 'Newstand' feature but, at the time of writing, this feature isn't available in the UK and it's not clear when it will be.
The ereader and tablet markets are slowly converging. American market research firm IHS iSuppli predict that shipments of ereaders will drop 36 percent this year to 14.9 million units and then drop another 27 percent next year to 10.9 million units.
They argue that this is largely to do with the rise in popularity of multimedia tablet devices that offer the same services as an ereader, with a plethora of extras too.
Kobo, who also sell tablet devices such as the Arc, are hedging their bets and believe that there is still a core and loyal market of book lovers who are only interested in the e-ink ereading experience.
This core market, Kobo hope, are generally more affluent and are likely to see reading as a serious hobby rather than something to do on holiday - and you'll need to have some cash knocking about as the Aura HD will command £139.99 ($169.99) of your hard earned bucks.
This puts the Aura HD above Amazon's and Nook's rival backlit ereaders in terms of price, and it's something which could seriously dent sales.
That's why Kobo have redesigned their premiere ereader to fit the profile of someone who loves books. This is obvious in the design, and, by CEO Michael Serbinis' own admission at the launch event, this is one of the device's two main attractions.
Michael said that the "Kobo Aura HD is designed for the most passionate booklovers – those who devour hundreds of stories each year – who asked us to create the ultimate ereading experience. Kobo Aura HD is our way of celebrating these customers."
Indeed, we're assured that "thousands" of customers were surveyed on what they want from their ereader and the Aura HD is the result of that collective opinion. Although it's hard to believe that the majority of those surveyed were against having multimedia functionality.
But, as mentioned before, the people surveyed may not often indulge in fruits of bright flashing things on YouTube. Although, there is a service on the Aura called 'reading life' which appears to be a last minute add-on and attempt to introduce social media into your reading experience.
Essentially it evaluates your reading 'statistics' (speed, hours read, amount of books read etc.) and gives you rewards for buying things from the Kobo store.
All of which, naturally, is publishable on Facebook. It seems like an odd addition to something that is generally considered a solitary affair and given the type of customer Kobo are aiming the Aura HD at, it doesn't quite tally.
There are two main attractions to the Aura HD that sets itself apart from Amazon's Paperwhite, the screen resolution and the ergonomic design. We'll come to the former later.
If you hold the Aura with both hands, Michael's claim to have surveyed thousands of book lovers is entirely believable. The ivory-like casing is visually striking but unassuming on touch, exactly what you would expect from a paperback.
The back of the device has an angular almost mountainous design, the idea being that your fingers rest in the shallow cove between the two raised areas, replicating the spine of a book. It looks and feels very sleek. If we were just reviewing the design, the Aura HD would be well worth its high price tag.
Apart from the power and backlight buttons, the Aura is entirely touch screen. It has a built in keyboard and you can swipe at leisure as if you're using your smartphone.
Much of the launch event for the Aura was about the quality of the screen, which measures in at 6.8 inches and has a resolution of 1440 x 1080, 265dpi – making it the highest resolution ereader on the market.
When you boot it up you can see the quality right away, it's exceptionally crisp. Although it does feel as if some of the sharpness is lost because of e-ink black and white screen.
If this was a full colour multimedia tablet, you'd be able to see the depth of the screen quality but in black and white, it's hard to truly enjoy the impressive specifications. It makes you wonder if the "highest resolution ereader on the market" is an accolade that actually means anything.
It is still very pretty to look at and smaller text doesn't look faded. The quality of the screen, however, is let down by its sluggishness on touch.
There will be times when you have to click a link a few times before it reacts and swiping up and down when scrolling through the bookstore is frustratingly delayed.
Although when doing a less processor heavy task, like flicking through the pages of a book, there's next to no delay and it feels quite natural, which is the most important aspect of an ereader to get right.
The home screen is uncluttered and simple enough to navigate. Book lovers who use tablets will be attracted to its simplicity, which is at the other end of the spectrum of a tablet device that has hundreds of apps and several pages of home screens.
You're greeted on boot-up with all the relevant information you need; what book you're currently reading, the last time you synced up to your PC, a link to the bookstore, a link to your library and a 'search Kobo' bar that is stretched across the top of the home screen.
From the Library you can select one of your books or magazines, which is in list format. You can also opt for previewing a book if you're unsure about buying it, every book on the Kobo store is available for a 4 page preview.
The Reading Life statistics and social media makes for fun reading if you're a statto, but for most it will be pointless. You'll be able to view how many hours you've spent reading, the average minutes per session, page turns, total hours reading and the number of books finished.
From the same menu you can also check how many 'awards' you've received for purchasing and reading books, similar the trophy or achievement system on the PS3 and Xbox 360 – and it's just as inane.
Awards include "pressed for details", which is awarded when you figure how to use the device and 'word up', which is awarded when you search for 10 or more word definitions.
Of course, this can all be published on Facebook. Why you would want to publish the fact that you have such a poor grasp of the English language is beyond us however.
It is curious though as to why the awards you receive can be published on Facebook but not the reading stats, also, why can you only publish on Facebook and not Twitter? It all seems a bit arbitrary and last minute.
Searching and buying books presents the Aura HD's biggest flaw. There are two ways you can do this; through the bookstore on the device, or via your PC and sync it up later.
As cumbersome as it sounds, buying a book via your PC may be the quicker option. When you purchase a book directly through the device, you can expect to stare at a painfully slow loading screen, and that's if you make it past the snail speed search function in the bookstore.
We calculated that there was a three minute wait for the Aura to load up the checkout and, even after the long wait, the order couldn't be completed, with the Aura asking us to 'try again later'.
This might have been a one off, but it was frustrating nonetheless. The standalone software that you can download on you PC is significantly faster and less infuriating. Books can be easily searched for and the Kobo store remembers your choices and recommends books that you might like, pretty standard stuff.
These features are all available on the device itself, but at a significantly slower speed. The Kobo is connected via a USB port that is also used the charge it. It doesn't come with a USB charger, but if you have a smartphone you can use that.
Kobo has an impressive 3.2 million books and newspapers in its library, but, in some parts, it's lacking and pales in comparison to Amazon's bookstore.
For example, the graphic novel section in Amazon's store has a solid selection of Batman graphic novels. Whereas the Kobo store has handful of editions and lacks some of the more iconic titles like Batman Year One.
The Kobo book store is also more expensive then the Kindle store, an annoying drawback given that they're offering the exact same content.
Professor Brian Cox's Wonders of Life, for example, is £11.99 on the Kobo store, whereas it's £9.50 on the Kindle. This was the case in all of the books that we compared. Why would you pay more for the same product?
When you've made a purchase, actually reading a book is a pleasure and it's clear this is where development time was spent.
Switching between pages doesn't feel sluggish like other endeavors on the device and related actions, like making notes and checking the dictionary, present no problems.
The Aura also comes with a basic mobile browser and some games to keep you busy when you're tired of book reading.
Browsing through a site like TechRadar on the Kobo does not feel natural however, pictures are in black and white, which means you miss out on some of the high definition graphics from reviews and the Aura flashes a black screen every time you scroll. It all feels a bit labored.
Battery life and connectivity
Battery life
The Aura doesn't come with a wall charger, but it does come with a USB wire to plug into your PC, which it can charge from.
The charging port is mini USB, which is standard for most smartphones so you won't need to buy a separate charger.
A single charge will last and impressive two months, according to Kobo. We've tested the Aura and put it through three days' worth of heavy usage (reading books, using the browser and making purchases) and the battery now stands at 62%.
Battery life, refreshingly, is something you won't have to worry about and you'll be able to enjoy full usage for a good length of time, which is rare with most modern touch screen devices.
The Aura, rather usefully, stores all information on Kobo's cloud. This includes books, bookmarks, notes and other data you create on your device.
This means your information is accessible from anywhere and in any event and can be downloaded via the inbuilt Wi-Fi.
It is also compatible with most PC formats including; EPUB, PDF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, TXT, HTML, RFT, CBZ and CBR.
Any of these files can simply be dragged and dropped onto your Aura and will be accessible once it has synced up and disconnected from the PC. Syncing is straightforward and probably the least painful thing to do with your Aura HD.
Hands on gallery
We liked
The sleek , comfortable and ergonomic design makes the Aura HD a pleasure to hold. It genuinely feels like you're holding a book and your hands won't tire after extended use.
The high resolution screen does away with that faded look some ereaders suffer from and smaller icons are clearly visible.
The impressive battery life takes away some of the charging worry and you'll be able to carry this around in your bag for weeks without plugging it in.
We disliked
The sluggishness of the screen is a big drawback and you'll find yourself constantly frustrated at the time it takes to do basic actions.
Cynically, the price of Kobo books are more expensive than they are on the Kindle. Consumers won't be saving money on the hardware either since the Aura HD is £30 ($50) more expensive then the Kindle Paperwhite which is £109 ($119).
If you're happy to buy into the idea that this is the ereader for more sophisticated book worm, then this is the device for you.
You'll be able to do some good peacocking on public transport because the device is visually very attractive. There's no doubt that it looks and feels like it's worth the high price-tag it commands. But if you scratch the surface, the picture isn't so rosy.
There's no escaping the fact that the screen is, at times, unacceptably slow – and you will, at some point, be enraged when using this device.
The book store, too, sells books at a higher price than the Kindle store and some customers will find it difficult to part with hard-earned money for a book, in full knowledge that they could buy the same product for a lot cheaper at another store.
And, at a price of £139.99 ($169.99), it might be worth looking elsewhere if you plan to make lots of purchases.

School Reviews
- November 28, 2013 - My kids have been in the SDFAS since preschool, one of them has graduated last year and is now at La Jolla High. Not only has it been a nurturing and highly academic environment but we also felt supported at every step (we are not french speakers). As a result of my children are very aware about other cultures, have inquisitive minds and are good kids. The classes are small so their relationships are very close and they feel like they matter (and are not only a number). My son had no problem transitioning to La Jolla High, was placed on some advance classes and has no problem getting A''s. Best decision we made!! - Posted by Parent

Sony Revising the PS3 Again to Create the 'Super Slim'?
Have you ever looked at your Slim line PS3 — which, by the way, was reduced 32% in size from the original models — and thought to yourself, "Look at how much room this bastard takes up. I can't fucking live like this"? Well, your obscene prayers may soon be answered.
Documents recently filed with the FCC strongly hint at the console manufacturer's plans to release an even teensier model of the PlayStation 3 dubbed by the media the "Super Slim". Throughout the documents the remodeled system is simply referred to by its model number, CECH-4001x (the last run of PS3's, the 160GB and 320GB, are apart of the 3000 series). It's suggested the 'x' in '4001x' is in place of how big the Super Slim's hard drive will end up being, possibly hinting at larger storage sizes to come.
For as long as we've been hearing murmurs of a slimmer Slim, I'd be surprised to not see this one come into fruition. According to Eurogamer, just as the first Slim was introduced at 2010's German show Gamescom, it's believed we'll see this extraordinarily slim Slim introduced at next month's 2012 expo.
Personally, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the size of my Slim. But now that I know there's something smaller, I understand how wrong I've been to own something so huge and gaudy. I'll get on fixing that right after I get that bigger 3DS.

End of the road: Warriors fall in Region II quarterfinals
By Brad Fauber - email@example.com
STEPHENS CITY -- The last thing Sherando expected in the Region II quarterfinal round was to be locked in a pitchers' duel with its offense struggling to keep its brief playoff run alive -- but that's exactly where the Warriors found themselves when they hosted Monticello on Wednesday.
The Warriors broke right out of the gate with a run in the first inning to take an early lead, but were blanked over the final six innings by Mustangs starter Josh Malm as Monticello pulled off the 2-1 win. It was the fewest number of runs Sherando has scored since a 1-0 win over Washington on March 21.
Things weren't much better in the field for Sherando (19-3) as a throwing error and a pair of passed balls led directly to both of Monticello's runs, spoiling an otherwise solid outing by Warriors senior Darrell Thompson on the mound.
"It was definitely not how we expected our season to end," said Thompson, who tossed a complete game while allowing two unearned runs on just three hits. "Coach [Pepper Martin] said before the game that execution is going to win this game, and we didn't execute and it came back and bit us."
Sherando's offense appeared poised to continue the momentum that carried the Warriors to both the Northwestern District regular season and tournament titles as the Warriors put a dent in the scoreboard early.
Senior Tre Porter stepped to the plate in the bottom of the first inning and ripped an 0-2 offering from Malm into the left-centerfield gap for a one-out triple. He scored during the next at-bat when Jacob Carney grounded out to second to give Sherando a quick 1-0 lead.
"[Porter] said, 'If he leaves a hanging curveball, I'm ripping it', and I was like 'I'll see you on third.' And sure enough, hanging curveball and he hit it into the gap," Thompson said. "I saw him on third and I was like 'here we go', but then it was just one of those things -- the dugout was quiet all day, we didn't have any energy. I just knew something was about to go down."
Thompson's premonition proved correct as the Mustangs responded quickly with a run in the top of the second.
Monticello senior Sam Patterson led off with a triple down the right-field line that worked against the outfield shift put on by Sherando, and he scored when a low 2-2 pitch to Kyle Jacobson got by Warriors catcher Chase Smallwood to tie the game at 1-all.
Sherando had an opportunity to regain the lead in the bottom of the second as the Warriors loaded the bases with two outs, but Malm got leadoff man Taylor Loudan to fly out to right-center to end the threat.
That was as close as the Warriors' offense came to scoring for the remainder of the game as Malm didn't allow a runner to reach second base after the second inning.
Malm pitched a complete game for the Mustangs, allowing an earned run on four hits to pick up the win. He struck out five and walked two.
"This year, the first inning for me has been kind of shaky, but my mentality has been that I can get it back, just keep going," Malm said. "I was just trying to pound the strike zone, that's what coach [Corey Hunt] wanted me to do -- pitch to contact, don't try to blow it by them, and it worked in my favor."
Thompson (eight strikeouts) was equally effective for Sherando, although the senior got himself into some trouble in the top of the fifth inning.
With Mustangs' No. 9 hitter Devin Dickerson, who reached on an infield single with one-out, on first base, Thompson sailed a pickoff attempt wide of the bag and allowed Dickerson to move all the way to third.
One pitch later, Dickerson scored on a passed ball to give Monticello its first lead of the evening.
"You've got to give credit to the entire team, the guys made good reads, they battled with two strikes," Hunt said. "We took advantage of a few miscues and we battled our butts off, and fortunately we were able to scratch across a couple of runs."
Sherando had one final opportunity to potentially tie the game in the bottom of the seventh when junior John Bentley hustled out an infield single to lead off the inning, but Malm retired the next three Warriors hitters to send the Mustangs to the Region II semifinals.
Martin admitted after the game that he felt his players began sensing the pressure to produce offensively as the game wore on, which resulted in many Warriors batters over-swinging and trying to tie the game with one swing of the bat.
"Particularly in the bottom of the fifth and the bottom of the sixth, I thought we were pressing a little bit at the plate," Martin said. "Not necessarily pushing the panic button, but pressing a little bit and trying to do too much instead of staying within the flow of the game and trying to get runners on.
"We went down fighting. This team was so enjoyable to coach, I'd like to have had the opportunity to go a little further with them."

Tiger Shark Throwdown (Shark Week)
Growing up in Hawaii, I never imagined it would be possible to fear an inanimate object, or to fear losing or damaging that object. Fifteen years ago I lost my leg to a tiger shark. Surprisingly, that was the easy part. The dependence on a prosthetic leg, fashioned from molded plastic, metal bolts, and a rubber foot: That was a different animal. I am blessed to still walk, but that same prosthetic has filled me with more fear than a shark ever could.

MySoti is a well-designed online t-shirt and artwork marketplace
MySoti is an online t-shirt and artwork marketplace. The site looks nice, and the interface is easy to use.
- Selection seems to be plentiful. Lots of stuff to buy, and some of it looks good.
- The site looks visually polished. A nice blend between artsy looks and down-to-earth usability. Layout is sensible.
- You can easily share t-shirts you like, with a simple "embed code" (which is actually just an HTML link) right under each image.
- There are nice "artist pages", in which you can see all the works by one person.
- Search is very rudimentary. While the works are tagged, I had trouble finding anything interesting. I did not see any tag suggestions, related tags, etc.
- The prices I've seen seem a bit steep, but this isn't the site's "fault" -- sellers set their own prices and get a margin. However, the base cost seems a bit high -- $17.59 for an American Apparel shirt, on top of which the seller adds their own margin.
- I could not easily find shipping rates. I guess you have to open an account and add something to your cart for this, which is too bad.
Bottom line:
I somehow feel the site lacks a bit of pizzaz. I know that's a really general thing to say, but it's just not that different from any other online t-shirt marketplace I've seen. It's well made, and I would give it 7 out of 10. Better search options and "themes" ("animal t-shirts", "political stuff" etc) could make it more interesting.

Wednesday, 23 Apr 2008 08:43 AM
By Lowell Ponte
During the era of the America Revolution, in Russia, the ruler was the self-proclaimed Empress Catherine the Great.
Catherine seized power with the help of her lovers, forcing her incompetent emperor husband Peter III to abdicate and then permitting his assassination.
Her imperious rule featured tours of the countryside arranged by her sometime lover and adviser Grigory Aleksandrovich Potemkin.
On these tours Catherine would be driven past what appeared to be prosperous villages of well-fed, smiling peasants who cheered her.
The empress was delighted that Russia was doing so well, that her enlightened dictatorship had the mandate of heaven. But what today we call "Potemkin Villages" were mere stage sets, erected and populated with actors days or hours before Catherine's arrival to create the desired false impression.
Most of her subjects were actually miserable serfs, victims of oppressive landlords, high taxes and little food or freedom.
Potemkin wanted Russia to expand southward and restore the Byzantine Empire, the eastern half of the Roman Empire that survived until 1453 A.D. when Ottoman Turks breached the walls of Constantinople.
This ancient empire survived through "Byzantine" diplomacy and tactics, Potemkin-like displays to create the illusion of immense wealth and military might to deceive other nations.
Sen. Hillary Clinton, who both resembles and seems eager to become a modern Catherine the Great, is today running a Potemkin campaign.
Clinton and her media allies have kept this grand illusion running despite having more debts than dollars and almost zero likelihood of overtaking rival Sen. Barack Obama in elected delegates, states won, or popular votes to win the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.
On Tuesday in Pennsylvania's primary, Clinton won by what looked like an impressive popular vote margin, 55-45 percent. But Obama's planners had with remarkable accuracy predicted her victory margin almost a year earlier and discounted it.
Hillary's Tuesday victory means little. Because Democratic delegates are allotted proportionally, this win in Pennsylvania will likely close at most only about 10 percent of Obama's large delegate lead for the nomination.
In two weeks the likely Obama victory in North Carolina should recoup most of Tuesday's Pennsylvania delegate loss.
Only weeks ago Clinton was widely expected to win Pennsylvania by a 20 percent margin.
This state, whose Latinate name means "Penn's woods," has, after Florida, the second oldest population in the United States. One in four Pennsylvanians is a senior citizen, Clinton's most devoted constituency, and 61 percent of seniors voting on Tuesday cast their ballots for Hillary.
Clinton also ran as a favorite daughter of the state. Her grandfather and father lived in Scranton, and her father played football at Penn State.
Pennsylvania is perhaps the last state where old-fashioned machine politics rule. Hillary had the backing of Gov. Ed Rendell's powerful machine.
In October 1998, President Bill Clinton appeared in Philadelphia for a fundraiser. Two anti-Clinton demonstrators showed up at the public rally, carrying signs. The two were soon surrounded by union goons who ripped down their signs, then severely beat the demonstrators, one of whom had to be treated in a local hospital for a concussion and spinal injury in his neck.
Then-Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell's spokesman Kevin Feeley caused public outrage when he said of the beatings that the two protestors "chose to make their views known in the faces of Teamsters — that, generally, is not a good career choice."
Because a bystander videotaped the beating, five of the union thugs later pled guilty to various assault charges — and were given probation.
Rendell acknowledged in a deposition that he had told the union people to "drown out the [anti-Clinton] protestors," adding: "I specifically said I didn't want any interaction with the demonstrators. I wanted this to be extremely peaceful and extremely positive."
Welcome to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, still run by Rendell and Clinton-supporting Democratic Mayor Michael Nutter.
On Tuesday in several Philadelphia voting places where African-Americans were expected to favor Barack Obama, problems occurred with voting machines.
Obama won fewer, and Clinton more, votes than experts had predicted in the Philadelphia area. The Associated Press reported that Rendell last February, days after endorsing Clinton, declared that "there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate."
Rendell said nothing disapproving of such voters. His statement could easily have been heard as giving Caucasian Pennsylvanians his permission or absolution for voting against Obama for racial reasons.
Ironically, what Clinton now offers to Democratic superdelegates as her alternative to Obama is a Hillary Clinton-Rush Limbaugh ticket.
Had she won Pennsylvania by only six percentage points, the punditocracy was prepared to declare the election a Clinton loss and Obama victory. But as exit polls revealed, approximately 4 percent of Tuesday's voters had switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party. Without their votes, would Clinton have fallen fatally short of the vote percentage she needed to survive?
With powerful conservative talk hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and local superstar Bob Grant on New York City's 50,000 watt blowtorch WABC Radio nudging Republicans to cross over and vote for Clinton to keep the nomination fight going, chaos has successfully been sown in the Democratic selection process.
In effect, the Clinton campaign for the Democratic nomination has been transformed into a Republican co-production.
Twenty-nine percent of Obama's Pennsylvania voters questioned by exit pollsters said that if Clinton by hook or crook gains the Democratic nomination, they will either not vote at all or vote for Republican candidate Sen. John McCain.
Nominating megalomaniacal Hillary Clinton could be suicidal for the Democratic Party. It could alienate millions of young voters.
Clinton won the Texas primary by approximately 120,000 votes, but an estimated 150,000 Texas Rush-publicans crossed over to vote for her.
Did Hillary do well in Texas and Pennsylvania only because Rush Limbaugh was her invisible running mate — the co-pilot steering her sagging campaign to a winner-circle landing?
We ought to rename Clinton's Potemkin campaign after what keeps its illusion alive.
Let's call it Hillarush, or Hillarushy, Clinton For President.

1Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – Istituto di Metodologie per l'Analisi Ambientale (CNR-IMAA), C. da S. Loja, 85050 Tito Scalo, Potenza, Italy
Abstract. Multi-wavelength Raman lidar measurements were performed at CNR-IMAA Atmospheric Observatory (CIAO) during the entire Eyjafjallajökull explosive eruptive period in April–May 2010, whenever weather conditions permitted.
A methodology for volcanic layer identification and accurate aerosol typing has been developed on the basis both of the multi-wavelength Raman lidar measurements and EARLINET measurements performed at CIAO since 2000. The aerosol mask for lidar measurements performed at CIAO during the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption has been obtained. Volcanic aerosol layers have been observed in different periods: 19–22 April, 27–29 April, 8–9 May, 13–14 May and 18–19 May. A maximum aerosol optical depth of about 0.12–0.13 was observed on 20 April, 22:00 UTC and 13 May, 20:30 UTC. Volcanic particles have been detected both at low altitudes, in the free troposphere and in the upper troposphere. Intrusions into the PBL have been revealed on 21–22 April and 13 May. In the April–May period Saharan dust intrusions typically occur in Southern Italy. For the period under investigations, a Saharan dust intrusion was observed on 13–14 May: dust and volcanic particles have been simultaneously observed at CIAO both at separated different levels and mixed within the same layer.
Lidar ratios at 355 and 532 nm, Ångström exponent at 355/532 nm, backscatter related Ångström exponent at 532/1064 nm and particle linear depolarization ratio at 532 nm measured inside the detected volcanic layers have been discussed. The dependence of these quantities on relative humidity (RH) has been investigated by using co-located microwave profiler measurements. The particle linear depolarization ratio increasing with RH, lidar ratio values at 355 nm around 80 sr, and values of the ratio of lidar ratios greater than 1 suggest the presence of sulfates mixed with continental aerosol. Lower lidar ratio values (around 40 sr) increasing with RH and values of the ratio of lidar ratios lower than 1 indicate the presence of some aged ash inside these sulfate layers.
