" ELSA MicroLink 56k Fun USB - Fax / modem - external - USB - 56 Kbps - K56Flex, V.90, V.92 / 1 analog port(s) "
I bought the Microlink 56K Fun USB modem from Simply.co.uk for only about £15! Well, I wish I'd not wasted my time and now I have the hassle of returning it. I plugged it in to a modern spec PC running Windows 2000. As expected it was immediately detected. I'm fairly IT literate and went through the process with the install CD. But Windows couldn't get all it needed off the CD. I tried various different approaches but to no avail. So I went to Elsa.com and downloaded the correct drivers. It didn't make the slightest difference. I actually bought a £40 Tornado 565 external modem from Maplin which I'd planned to return once the Microlink had arrived. I've been really pleased with it though and so will keep it.
The Microlink 56k Fun Modem External is a great little modem. And "little" is understated, when you open the box you'll think there is parts missing or something. Because the tiny, fluorescent coloured, little box you have in your hands is about the same size as a pack of cards! (Its actually 40x90x113mm) Capable of v.92 and v.90 (basically all these mean is that you will get a quicker connection "sometimes" if you have these. 90 and 92 are just the index standard numbers) and a load of others I've even heard of (must be good). So it's got: v.90 v.92 v.34, v.32bis, V.32, v.23 v.22bis and v.21 (!) (By the way you may need to do a driver update to get the v.92 working) There is 3 lights on the front, one to say its on, another to show that the modem is sending / receiving data (doing something) and another to show if your modem is hung up or not. (The parking feature) My elder brother uses this modem on his work computer (which I built!). He has no knowledge about computers and is completely useless at them (younger bro revenge!) yet he's had this modem now for over a year. He connects up every single day for a good few hours. And hasn't had a single problem with it! Other good stuff ~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 years warranty (so lightning storms do your worst!) Fax stuff - Auto detects in bound signal if its fax/phone/data Can answer the phone for you! File transfer software No power cable as it is USB powered (!) WHICH IS GREAT! Main selling point! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ These modems also has the sweet feature that if you receive a call when on line, it will park the connection and then allow you to take the call and then simply un-park and continue from where you were on the Internet. It will do this automatically. Detect the incoming call, park, let you chat, and then resume! It'
;s tiny and works well. The USB connection means there's no need for ANOTHER power cable or plug and its size means you can hide it anywhere! You can put it on your drive, next to the monitor, on top of your speakers. It really is that small! Compared to other Modems out there this is a little expensive. But then again it looks way better than most, it is very small and it works fine. Good little modem, easy to install as well! Before I close one final Modem point: all modems should be connected as directly as possible to the entry point of the phone connection to your premises, and have as short leads as possible. Keep them away from mains leads too. This is basic stuff for a good connection.
This Strawberry Jelly looking modem comes with the ability to software upgrade the Microlinks V.90 standard to the improved V.92 standard. If your looking for a modem just for surfing the net then this feature won't probably make any difference to you. However if you are a developer or if you send alot of emails there is a 40 percent performance gain to be made using the V.92 technology. Having said this although it is probably imeasurable the V.92 standard should offer some connection time advantages when you take into consideration the improved data compression. This modem remains one of the easiest to install. A well built and well featured modem and at only £50 well priced.
It's amazing how much this red box has in it! Simply plug-and-play by connecting to the USB port on the PC and it just bursts out: Internet at 56, 000 bps, SMS, e-mail, home banking, chats, modem connects at 33, 600 bps, fax, answerphone and - a great future! All this because the MicroLink 56k Fun USB is now V.92 ready! This new standard means you will be faster on the Internet: quick connect facilitates faster connect times, upstream rates are increased for uploads and new compression technology enables even faster surfing. And the best thing: you can receive phone calls even when online. The V.92 modem-on-hold feature puts an end to those annoying busy signals: simply answer the incoming call - the modem parks the Internet connection until you've finished your call.

Leafs Possession Numbers - Defence
The '67 Sound
August 03 2011 10:08AM
Yesterday, we looked at the Leafs forwards results from the perspecitve of possession metrics. Today we continue that investigation, this time with an eye to the Leafs blueline.
Leafs Possession Numbers - Forwards
The '67 Sound
August 02 2011 12:01PM
Barring any unexpected trades, it now appears that the Leafs roster is largely set. The question then becomes what we can reasonably expect from this team.
The short answer is "it depends on the goaltending". If the Bruins and Leafs had swapped goaltending last year, the Leafs would not have been Cup contenders and the Bruins probably would not have missed the playoffs, but there is a fair chance the Leafs would have passed the Bruins in the standings. Goaltending is that important, and the Leafs' fortunes will rise or fall in significant part on the performance of James Reimer.
Better Know a Bias: The Endowment Effect
Danny Gray
August 02 2011 07:41AM
When you ponder a trade proposal suggested by a fan on Twitter or HF Boards long enough you reach the inescapable conclusion that its author has only recently mastered tying their shoes. The proposed swaps tend to be incredibly lop-sided and often complicated deals, offering a collection of underwhelming players in the belief that quantity trumps quality.

You know that the only way you are going to hear commercials on the podcast of NationRadio this week is if you click on the YouTube movie above then quickly close your eyes and listen to the old Molson Ad we found. Cause NationRadio is commercial free here on the Nation Network.
Until we find a way to sell advertising on it of course.
The overrated value of a faceoff
Cam Charron
August 01 2011 09:23AM
Every so often, an analyst will talk about how a certain player deserved a "three star" nominee because he won two or three big faceoffs. Even more so often a coach will send out two centremen in a high-leverage situation to win a key, late draw. The question is whether this tactic has a tangible value.

Immigration Law Articles
Articles written by attorneys and experts worldwide
discussing legal aspects related to Immigration.
A Nation Built on Immigrants, A Future Built on Immigration Reform
We expect there to be word forthwith on what needs to be filed for DREAMERS. Stay posted. We expect to advise next week. These actions have finally begun positive action towards immigrants. We hope this builds a momentum that will ultimately lead to more comprehensive reform.
Foreign Investors can Avail US Green Card by EB-5 Visa Program
A foreign investor interested and capable of investing $500,000 in the US that will help to generate employment is eligible for EB-5 visa. Acquiring permanent residency in the US is comparatively simple with tis visa. Only there are few rules and regulations that immigration lawyer can sort out.
The H-1B Visa and the Specialty Occupation Requirement
H-1B visas are typically utilized by U.S. employers seeking to employ a foreign national in a specialty occupation. See www.uscis.gov. Prior to filing the I-129 petition for an H-1B visa, a Labor Condition Application must be applied for with the Department of Labor. The Labor Condition Application requires the U.S. employer to make four essential attestations in order to protect the U.S. labor market.
Are There Any Free Immigration Lawyers in Seattle?
If you are facing difficulties with immigration issues, you likely already know that you need advice from immigration lawyers in Seattle. However, you may be concerned about how you are going to pay for these immigration lawyers in Seattle, especially since you have likely heard that legal fees can be expensive. Naturally, this may lead you to ask whether there are any free immigration lawyers in Seattle.
H-1B Demands Growing for Employers
The H-1B visa program, which enables domestic employers to hire foreign workers in certain specialty occupations (especially in science, technology and highly-skilled fields) has long been popular among employers, but demand for H-1B workers has been particularly strong this year.
Temporary Delays on Notices to Non-immigrant Workers
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (the "USCIS") has received an extraordinary volume of I-129 petitions (relating to non-immigrant workers) this year, and as a result, the USCIS has acknowledged that many petitioners are not promptly receiving notices of receipt of their petitions.
"Deferred Action" Offers Hope to Young Immigrants
Pursuant to executive order signed by President Obama, the Department of Homeland Security has announced this week that it will defer any administrative action or deportation proceedings against certain eligible immigrants who arrived in this country as children.
H-1B Foreign Worker Slots Filled for FY 2013
As of June 11, 2012, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") has no more slots left for foreign workers in specialty occupations under the H-1B visa program, as the statutory cap has been reached already for fiscal year 2013.
H-1B Employers Facing Increased Scrutiny
The increasingly popular H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. employers to hire a certain number of foreign workers each year in so-called "specialty occupations" (including occupations in science, technology and engineering) is now coming under more watchful eyes at various federal agencies concerned about employment abuses.
Push to Reauthorize EB-5 Visas for Foreign Investors
Within the last 30 days, legislators have introduced various bills in the U.S. Congress that would reauthorize the EB-5 Regional Center Pilot Program.
Supreme Court Ruling on Arizona Law Has Broad Impact
When the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Arizona immigration law last week, public scrutiny of the decision was short-lived because it was eclipsed by the subsequent ruling on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But the ruling on Arizona law was truly significant for several reasons, not the least of which is that multiple states have passed laws relating to immigration with provisions similar to that in the Arizona law.
The Struggle for Freedom, Progress and a Law License
The new policy for DREAMERS, while not perfect, finally gives some hope to this group after waiting for eleven years for the DREAM act to pass. The policy will allow these young people to be in the US under the auspices of the law and to obtain work authorization. We hope that the DREAM Act will soon pass.
Abuse of Visa Process Not a Reason to Deny Good Faith Petitions
When Congress passed the L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2004 (the "L-1 Reform Act") it did so to address a narrow and specific concern about some companies which had "outsourced" L-1B intra-company transferees to third party employers.
Misconceptions Regarding L-1B Visa Abuse
It seems that Legacy INS, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (the "USCIS") and other immigration authorities hold some misconceptions about abuses associated with the L-1B visa program. This is an important program, which allows foreign employees of domestic companies with global operations to transfer to the U.S. when they have "specialized knowledge" needed at home.
H-1B Foreign Worker Slots Could Be Filled Quickly This Year
Employers who wish to hire foreign specialty workers should immediately consider preparations for filing a petition to sponsor H-1B workers for fiscal year 2013, which starts as of Oct. 1, 2012. Petitions for worker start dates on or after Oct. 1 may be filed as of April 1, and it should be noted that a flurry of early filings are expected this year.
Extra Hurdles Added to L-1B Visa Process
Now more than ever large-scale American companies need the support of global talent in order to compete in an international marketplace. But, as noted by the American Immigration Lawyers Association ("AILA") our domestic agencies responsible for immigration still sometimes function in a way that restricts American companies by denying applications for L-1B visa transfers on hyper-technical grounds.
More Practical Issues with L-1B Visa Process
As noted by the American Immigration Lawyers Association ("AILA") there has been a widening gulf between the articulations of policy – in statutes and regulations – and the reasoning of administrative decisions by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (the "USCIS") regarding L-1B visas.
Constricting L-1B Visa Access
Congress thought it had solved the problems created by multiple administrative interpretations of the L-1B visa requirements when it passed the Immigration Act of 1990 ("IMMACT90") which, among other things, gave a statutory definition to the "specialized knowledge" prerequisite for obtaining an L-1B visa.
I-9 Audits: The Danger of Too Much Documentation
After the wave of I-9 audits in recent years, employers have become rightfully wary of not documenting their immigrant workforce. Everyone knows by now that the penalties for hiring undocumented workers can be stiff. But what many employers do not realize is that there is a risk to over-documentation as well.
New Visa Fees
The Department of State ("DOS") has increased its visa fees effective as of Friday, April 13, 2012. Non-immigrant visa fees for machine-readable visas went from $140 to $190 for H, L, O, P, Q and R visas. Fees for other non-immigrant visas increased from $150 to $160; however, fees for E visas dropped from $390 to $270, and fees for K visas dropped from $350 to $240 per visa.
USCIS Rejecting L-1 and H-1B Petitions
A recent report by the National Foundation for American Policy has demonstrated that adjudicators for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (the "USCIS") have intensified their scrutiny of the popular L-1 and H-1B visa petitions utilized by domestic employers who need to import foreign workers with special knowledge or occupational experience.
Indian Nationals Subject to Greater Visa Scrutiny
A report by the National Foundation for American Policy sheds light on the kinds of scrutiny applied to job-related visa applications filed by American employers on behalf of Indian nationals.
Visa Slots Shrinking for Workers from India and China
The number of green card of immigrant visas available for individual workers from India and China will shrink in months to come, according to pronouncements by Charles Oppenheim, the Chief of the Visa Control and Reporting Division at the Department of State.
Update: Foreign Worker Slots Going Fast for FY 2013
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") still has slots available in fiscal year 2013 for foreign workers in specialty occupations under the H-1B program, but petitions have been filed at a very brisk rate so far, and slots might not remain open for very long.
The Hazards of Tourist Season for Your Betrothed
The warmer weather and sunny skies of spring have arrived in the U.S., opening the gates to tourists from around the globe, but one group of tourists should be especially mindful of the legal hazards of visiting the U.S. If you are a foreigner engaged to a U.S. citizen and living abroad, then your petition for a K-1 visa will establish your intent to marry an American citizen and stay here permanently.
Tourist Season Easier for Some than Others
The summer travel season is fast approaching, and many foreign citizens are making plans now to visit the U.S., but they won't be going anywhere without the necessary immigration compliance preparations. Generally, the "necessary preparations" would include obtaining a tourist visa, but it is possible to avoid the paperwork, fees and waiting associated with this step if you are an eligible citizen of a country that is enrolled in the U.S. visa waiver program.
Employment-based Legal Residency Options
Each year, a large number of undocumented workers are deported who are parents of U.S. citizens. Many of these workers might have been able to avoid deportation and painful separation from their families by simply contacting a good immigration attorney who could help them to pursue a legal avenue to employment-based permanent residency.
Parents of U.S. Citizens Often Deported
According to recent reports in USA Today, during the first six months of last year, 22 percent of the 211,000 deportations during that time involved parents of U.S. citizens.
Re-entry Rules Relaxed for Pending Hardship Waiver Applicants
Earlier this spring, the Department of Homeland Security published a proposal in the Federal Register – for public consideration and comment – that would relax the rules on bar to re-entry for foreigners residing here who are beneficiaries of pending family-based immigration petitions.
Voter Registration: A Trap for Green Card Holders
It happens more often than you might think and something to watch out for during this election year – a permanent resident's name somehow appears on a voter registration list, and then he is denied citizenship and sometimes even deported.
H-1B Foreign Worker Slots Left in FY 2013
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") still has slots available in fiscal year 2013 for employers sponsoring foreign workers in specialty occupations under the H-1B program, but more than 60 percent of FY 2013 allocations under the regular cap have been snatched up in less than two months, so employers need to file petitions quickly for remaining slots.
USCIS Proposes Revision of Form I-9
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") published in late March a notice in the Federal Register inviting public comments on proposed revisions to Form I-9, which is used by employers to authenticate the identity of their laborers and the legal authorization of those laborers to work in the U.S.
Immigration, Visa and Work Permit Information in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The purpose of this brief is to provide an overview of various work permit schemes available in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its discusses the Visas, Immigration and work permit for people who want to visit, work, study or live in the DRC.
Immigration and Same-Sex Marriages
The issue of same-sex marriage in the context of immigration law has recently come to the forefront of political attention. As the law stands, an illegal immigrant who enters into a state-recognized same-sex marriage is not afforded the immigration rights that are given to an immigrant in a heterosexual marriage.
Doing Business in the Dominican Republic
Dominican Republic has best legal framework for the Foreign Investment - Legal System - The Constitution of the Dominican Republic defines the government system as being democratic, republican and presidential. It also provides that the exercise of power is divided among three independent branches: executive, legislative and judicial.
11th Circuit Decision - Motions to Reopen – Immigration Court – Appeals
In a recent decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit the court reversed the Board of Immigration Appeals finding that the Immigration Court has no jurisdiction to hear a motion to reopen filed by a non citizen from outside the United States. This decision has broad implications for the non United States citizen who has been deported.
Immigration Hold
An immigration hold is placed on an individual who has been arrested for a criminal charge and is taken to jail. ICE (Immigration Customs Enforcement) checks the list of inmates in the jail on a regular basis. When they see that an inmate is deportable they contact the jail and place a hold on the inmate. An immigration hold may be placed on a person who is in the United States illegally because he/she entered the USA without inspection or overstayed a visa.
Overview of Immigration Program for Investors in Dominican Republic: How apply for Residence and Citizenship
Every citizen, no matter the country of origin, can apply for the Dominican residence and then for citizenship, providing that fulfills all requirement set forth by Dominican state for those purposes.
Marriage - I-601 Hardship Waiver - Inadmissibility
Currently and under most circumstances, a foreign born spouse who has entered the United States with inspection can adjust status through an American citizen spouse. When a foreign spouse has not entered the U.S. with inspection, and a petition to adjust status is filed, the petition will be denied because the foreign spouse is inadmissible. An I-601 Hardship Waiver will be necessary to cure the inadmissibility.

Dream Act - Obama Memo
Based on a memo from the Obama administration dated June 15, 2012, a new policy will be effective immediately; certain young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own as young children and who meet specific qualifications will not be removed from the United States or sent to the Immigration Court for removal proceedings.
Filing an Appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals
The intending immigrant goes before the Board by the filing of an appeal from a decision of the immigration judge. The government may also file an appeal with the Board. Filing an appeal to the Board is the final step in an administrative process. Further action taken in the case will be before the United States Court of Appeals.
Panama: A New Immigration Category
The government of the Republic of Panama has established a new immigration category, which will enable foreigners of certain nationalities to have a permanent residence in the within the Panamanian national frontiers.
Petition for Review – 11th Judicial Circuit – Jurisdiction
The question of jurisdiction is a hurdle that must be scaled before the court may consider any other question on review. The petitioner must present to the court a basis for its jurisdiction in law and in fact. Sanctions may be imposed against a petitioner who files a frivolous jurisdictional argument with the court.

Syria meets deadline to destroy chemical production facilities
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria has destroyed or rendered inoperable all of its declared chemical weapons production and mixing facilities, meeting a major deadline in an ambitious disarmament program, the international chemical weapons watchdog said Thursday.
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which won the Nobel Peace prize this month, said its teams had inspected 21 out of 23 chemical weapons sites across the country. The remaining two were too dangerous to reach for inspection but the chemical equipment had already been moved to other sites that experts had visited, it said.
Syria "has completed the functional destruction of critical equipment for all of its declared chemical weapons production facilities and mixing/filling plants, rendering them inoperable," it said, meeting a November 1 deadline for the work.
The next target date is November 15, by when the OPCW and Syria must agree to a detailed plan of destruction, including how and where to destroy more than 1,000 metric tonnes of toxic agents and munitions.
Under a deal brokered by Russia and the United States, Damascus agreed to destroy all its chemical weapons after Washington threatened to use force in response to the killing of hundreds of people in a sarin attack on the outskirts of Damascus on August 21.
It was the world's deadliest chemical weapons incident since Saddam Hussein's Iraqi forces used poison gas against the Kurdish town of Halabja 25 years ago.
The United States and its allies blamed the forces of President Bashar al-Assad for the attack and several earlier incidents. Assad has rejected the charge, blaming rebel brigades.
"This was a major milestone in the effort to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons program," Ralf Trapp, an independent chemical weapons disarmament specialist, said.
"Most of the sites and facilities declared by Syria to the OPCW have been inspected, their inventories verified, equipment for chemical weapons production disabled and put beyond use, and some of the unfilled weapons have also been disabled."
Assad still has a substantial conventional arsenal. Israel declined comment on Thursday on reports its warplanes had struck a military base where Syrian opposition sources said his forces had stored powerful, Russian-made missiles.
The OPCW mission is being undertaken in the midst of Syria's 2-1/2 year civil war, which has killed more than 100,000 people. There had been concerns that the violence would impede the disarmament, but the OPCW says Syrian authorities have been cooperating with the weapons experts.
At one location it could not visit, the OPCW said it was able to verify destruction work remotely, while Syrian forces had abandoned the two sites it could not inspect at all.
Syrian authorities said that "the chemical weapons program items removed from these sites were moved to other declared sites", an OPCW document said. "These sites holding items from abandoned facilities were inspected."
Trapp said it was "important to ensure that the remaining facilities can be inspected and their equipment and weapons inventoried and prepared for destruction as soon as possible".
Amy Smithson, a chemical weapons expert at the U.S. Monterey Institute, cautioned that the work achieved so far had been relatively easy compared with the next stage, which will involve transporting and eliminating warfare agents.
The OPCW also remained reliant on goodwill from Damascus, said Smithson, noting that Saddam and late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had tried to pull the wool over inspectors' eyes in the past.
"What is unknown at present is whether Assad has declared everything in his arsenal - remember, Gaddafi kept a stash and Saddam tried his best to do the same but was outmaneuvered by savvy, determined inspectors - and to what extent Syrian cooperation will continue," she said.
Under the disarmament timetable, Syria was due to render unusable all production and chemical weapons filling facilities by November 1. By the middle of next year it must have destroyed its entire stockpile of chemical weapons.
The OPCW has not said which locations it had been unable to inspect, but a source briefed on their operations said one was at Safira, southeast of Aleppo in the north of the country. The site itself remains under government control but has been emptied of equipment because of fighting nearby.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the violence in Syria, said forces loyal to Assad advanced towards Safira on Thursday and clashed with rebels on its eastern approaches.
The other site not inspected was at Tel Kurdi in Adra, northeast of the capital Damascus. Tel Kurdi is now under rebel control but has been empty since early 2013 when the equipment was moved to another site, the source said.
The site which was inspected remotely was Al Sukkar, also in Adra, which contained instruments, ammunition and other substances which were destroyed by Syrian officials. The OPCW monitored this operation by video because the site, although under government control, was dangerous to reach.

Of course you did, not to imply that the US and UK did not knew in 2003 that Iraq had disarmed it`s WMD. Not to imply the US and UK did not knew that Iraq was totally defenseless after a decade of continuous bombing, as the UN poured out reports on a Iraq society that was on the brink of collapse from starvation forced upon it by the exactly US and UK. And not that any sane person still actually believes the propaganda and lies from Bush and Blair, that repeatedly stated that Iraq`s Saddam was about to launch an assault on the world with his massive WMD arsenal? The new Hitler, like they have repeatedly described Saddam and now with Syria`s Bashar al-Assad.
If there was any real justice in this world, at least the UN should demand public and written statements from the US and UK. A confirmation that goes along as Syria dismantles their WMD. Something that makes it impossible for these countries governments to abuse the situation in Syria. That is how any sane and rational person would handle it to avoid another warcrime like the Iraq war.
And even if one did that, it still would be an insult to international law in terms of lack of reaction against countries violating the UN charter and the Geneva convention that defines very clearly what a war of aggression is, and what the consequences should be.

Pinterest is essentially a virtual pinboard where users can post and share images, which are referred to as "pins." It can be used to collect recipes, project ideas, clothing items, vacation destinations, and pretty much anything else found online. This unofficial API was developed at a time when Pinterest lacked their own API, circa June 2012. It has recently run into some difficulties since Pinterest made changes to their backend, but it is still capable of retrieving pins via REST calls.

Tea Infused Chocolate Pudding
Recipe: (Serves 4)
2 Ripe Medium Avocados
1 Ripe Banana
1/4 Pitted dates (soaked in warm water for 15 minutes)
1/2 Raw Cacao
1/2 Cup Strong tea
2 Tbsp. Maple Syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/8 tsp Sea salt
Begin by soaking the dates in enough water to cover. After the dates have softened (about 15 minutes), drain them (discard water) and place in a food processor - puree until smooth. Add the avocado, banana, cacao, salt, sweetener, vanilla, and puree. Slowly add the tea and continue to puree until smooth. I passed my mousse through a sieve to remove any gritty pieces of dates - this is not necessary, but makes for a nice smooth finish. Chill the pudding before serving.

Stuff Mom Never Told You - listen online, on demand topics and episodes, location, contact, schedule and broadcast information}
Hispanic Heritage Month ends on October 15th. It runs from September 15-October 15, with September 15th marking the independence days for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.
One of my favorite podcasts ever that talks about gender issues, Stuff Mom Never Told You, has been doing a few episodes regarding issues in the communities of minority women, including this interesting one on Latina Feminism.
To clarify the difference between the terms "Hispanic" and "Latino": Hispanic countries can trace back their history at some point to Spain, in which case Brazil is not a Hispanic country. Latino/a refers to a person from Latin America, a region of the Western Hemisphere where Romance languages are primarily spoken. In that case, Latino doesn't apply to Spaniards but does apply to Brazilians. Neither term has a racial basis, which is why on government forms there is a box in the race and ethnicity section that says 'White, not Hispanic or Latino'.

Arthritis, itself a group of more than 100 different diseases, is one category of rheumatic diseases.
Joints are the areas where two or more bones meet. Most joints are mobile, allowing the bones to move.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are characterized by pain, swelling, and limited movement in joints and connective tissues in the body.
Rheumatic diseases are the leading cause of disability among people ages 65 and older.
Diagnosing arthritis and other rheumatic diseases is often difficult, as many symptoms are similar among the different diseases.
If you have arthritis, taking your medication and following your doctor's orders are essential. But self-care can be just as important in your daily and long-term management of the disease.
Gout is marked by inflamed, painful joints because of the formation of crystal deposits in them.
Taking arthritis medication is important, but what you do for yourself, including exercising, doing relaxation exercises and managing your emotions and attitudes, is just as crucial to your ability to lead an active, productive life.
Exercise has important health benefits for everyone -- regardless of age and physical condition. But for people with arthritis, working out regularly, and within their limits, is critical.
Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is a chronic, degenerative, joint disease that affects mostly middle-aged and older adults.
Detailed information on peripheral vascular disease, including symptoms, diagnostic, and treatment information
Although there's no cure for arthritis, the symptoms can be treated effectively in many cases. Here's a look at some proven treatments.
Sprained ankles and wrists, arthritic knees and hips and torn rotator cuffs all have one thing in common: They result in joint pain.

needs ranked systems
what like halo 3? so everyone can derank again? and purposely lose games. sure sounds fun.
Amazing game….
i know i cantttt wait at alllll. gunna be fantastic!!
I know the game will be incredible. The one thing though that i really hope is not in the game is de-ranking in multiplayer. Like, you earned that level, you shouldn't have it taken away from you. De-ranking scares away so many people in video games.
Wait for the reader reviews… which may be far lower than the (bribed) critic reviews. I know that the previous games were mediocre.
cant wait… will also help microsofts stock but who cares about that! (Joking) This game will be amazing
A far more useful tool is reader averages.
Two people pushing for reader reviews? One saying the previous games were mediocre? Of course it's an opinion, but the Halo franchise has been met with universal acclaim. Mountains of praise.
As for reader reviews, this is where I'll disagree. If there's anything I place absolutely zero stock in when it comes to deciding on a game, it's reader reviews. Too often do you find folks who are so angst-bitten that a certain feature wasn't included or a certain ending wasn't met that they, quite without thinking, head straight to meta-critic, drop the lowest score they can and leave a review which states, "HORIBLE DON BUY."
I'll take that nonsense with a grain of salt any day of the week.
Actually hale deff needs ranking system it separates the serious from the fun gamers,, hopefully it is fixed fix so there is no more deranking,
cant wait to run mlg
What? NO. if there is a ranking system DO NOT do leaderboard like call of duty.
that's just TOO MUCH. leave deranking system (if ranked system is implemented) because that makes sense. only x number of people on the planet are the highest rank and y amount for the second highest, third, fourth and ect. just like halo 3.
that way no glitching to get to the highest rank and have it infinitely. that's not what HALO is about. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S CREED IS THAT IT IS A HIGHLY SKILL BASED GAME
can't wait tell the game comes out
I don't care for metacritic,I hate how it seems to influence dev's and publishers.But I think it has a danger of dropping into the high 80′s ( A top score) But I think if it does drop out of the 90′s (Think it's 90 as I type) Then MSoft will be disappointed because the amount of money invested during 4′s development,and the the sheer man power that was supposedly handpicked to create a project that critically didn't quite match the rest of the series,and the other big hitters of this hardware cycle.
I don't think H4 will be looked back on in 10 years time and spoken in the same breath as a Mario Galaxy,or Uncharted 2.I think it'll be largely forgotten as a game,it'll sell well,make money,more sequels but nothing more.
Uncharted 2? Mario Galaxy? Those games have no lasting appeal. Nintendo is failing and uncharted is a recent console exclusive that has nothing on halos decade of games, books, etc. Multiplayer is an aspect of the game that will likely outlast any modern nintendo game.
Did you really just say that Mario Galaxy and Uncharted 2 will have more lasting appeal than Halo 4? You honestly have no Idea what your taling about, most people don't even kno either game exists.
"Did you really just say that Mario Galaxy and Uncharted 2 will have more lasting appeal than Halo 4?"
Yes.And I quote
"I don't think H4 will be looked back on in 10 years time and spoken in the same breath as a Mario Galaxy,or Uncharted 2.I think it'll be largely forgotten as a game,it'll sell well,make money,more sequels but nothing more."
In 10 years time when retro lists of the best games of this hardware cycle are made,Halo 4 wont be close on that list.
Galaxy is like Super Mario World,FF7, Golden Eye,OOT,Gran Turismo 1,Sonic1,Shenmeu,Res Evil 4,PacMan,Space Invaders,Deus Ex.GTA:SA.
A true classic that will forever be as magical as the day you first played it.
Uncharted 2 won't fair as well as those other games I mention.But like those games,it's impact will be felt well into the next hardware cycle.One example is how they used performance capture.I struggled to play other games that had character interaction after that.It made everything else feel ancient.
Another area it set a new standard,was how they made set pieces that in the past would of been CGI/ In engine cinematic's,actual game play sequences.
Halo 4 will be a solid entry into the Halo series,but is it a standard bearer that all other development teams will look at and say "They really pushed gaming forward" I don't think it will.
Will we all say in 10 years time " Halo 4 deserves a place as one of the greatest games ever made" I'm more than confident it won't.Will that stop my enjoyment of H4.No.
every M$ game review has a price
The industry pays review sites to give them good scores. It's no wonder why games are getting shorter and shorter but have more and more DLC. They want to squeeze every last drop of money out. Not even worth a day one pirate.
Uncharted 2 was mediocre. It had a great story but it was basically a third person version of call of duty. The game makes drake make move around more to make it look atmospheric when in reality you're just running on a rail.
It also had a terrible combat system.
What exactly has uncharted 2 done? Ripped off horde mode, stole gears of wars style of mp.
Basically make a third person version of cod, add in some assassins creed parkour.
They couldn't even make the story original. Never seen a bigger ripoff of Indiana Jones in my life.
Halo 4 is bringing spartan ops. It's basically infinity updating a game.
@ /v/ yeah your an idiot.
Nobody ever says resident evil, ff, mario, zelda, get milked.
Hypocritical troll
the only people still talking about mario galaxy are nintendo fans so I don't know where your getting that. Evene people that hate halo, know halo.

Thursday, August 15, 2013: Streaks of Perseid meteors intersect arcing star trails above the Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter in Arizona. 274 exposures combine in this image by Adam Block, made on August 11, 2013.
The Cone Nebula
Friday, August 30, 2013: The Cone Nebula (NGC 2264) consists of a glowing cloud of ionized gas excited by the surrounding hot, massive young blue stars. Strong winds of particles blow from these stars, shaping the residual gas left from a spent star formation region, creating these structures with striking appearances.
"The Hubble Space Telescope has captured what scienitsts are describing as a "cosmic caterpillar" nearly 6 trillion miles long slinking through deepspace.
The celestial critter in the new Hubble telescope photo is actually a cloud of gas stretching one light-year (10 trillion kilometers) across, scientists say. This cloud is in the process of collapsing down under its own gravity to give birth to a star — but it's a race against time, because the established bright stars in its vicinity are fighting this process."
"Scientists from Conservation International have discovered a new species of shark living in the waters of Indonesia. Unlike other sharks, however, this species has an unusual way of getting around; it walks.
This ambulating aquatic creature uses its fins to gently glide across the sea floor on its belly as it searches for food and a place to rest. The newly discovered shark, called the epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium halmahera), is one of nine walking sharks found all over the world."
"Raul Rabadan and collaborators are analyzing more than 60,000 viral sequences, searching for specific factors that make some viruses able to easily infect people. But the genome sequences in these databases can be of mixed quality, so researchers first had to come up with a way to glean only the most accurate and useful information, identifying likely sequencing errors or sources of contamination. "Some are sequences not correctly annotated, some are low-quality or incomplete, so we use only the ones we trust," said Rabadan. "We have our own algorithms for trimming down to what we trust." Without cleaning and curating the data, the signals picked up by machine learning algorithms could be associated with "weird stuff instead of biologically interesting things," he said."
A study of whooping cranes has shed new light on how much of a bird's migration route is learnt, and how much is innate in its genetics.
"Scientists found that learning from older, more experienced birds was a crucial factor in the migratory habits of this long-lived, social species.
The US-German team of researchers also found that the cranes' migratory performance improved over time."
"Two University of Washington researchers say they have demonstrated that one man's thoughts can control another man's movements. First, they placed electronic probes against their heads. Then one man looked at a computer game on a screen and thought about what move he wanted to make. Sure enough, the other man, who was across campus with no view of the screen, almost instantaneously moved his right index finger to make that move. He said it had the sensation of a nervous tic."
"Curiosity used its onboard camera, equipped with a telephoto lens, to capture Phobos' passage past the sun. The image was captured on Aug. 17, which marked, according to NASA, the 369th sol, Martian solar day, of Curiosity's mission on Mars."
"The mission is called Chang'e-3, and the official Chinese media is now reporting that it has completed its planning and construction phases. By the end of this year (if all goes well), the unmanned Chang'e-3 spacecraft will land a robotic rover on the Moon."
"The canyon - which is 800km long and up to 800m deep - was carved out by a great river more than four million years ago, before the ice arrived.
It was discovered by accident as scientists researching climate change mapped Greenland's bedrock by radar."
A new type of battery has been developed which its creators say could revolutionise the way we power consumer electronics and vehicles.
The University of Illinois team says its use of 3D-electrodes allows it to build "microbatteries" that are many times smaller than commercially available options, or the same size and many times more powerful.
It adds they can be recharged 1,000 times faster than competing tech.
However, safety issues still remain.
A new patent application from Google augments the company's Glass head-mounted computer with a laser projector, which can be used to project an interface on any nearby surface, including the user's own hand.

text: Osgood is like 5 miles from Napoleon and it has a Catholic church and the (giggle) Damm Theater lol. The church has a sign that says "God's law is pro-life, respect life from the womb to the tomb" which I have some opinions about but they've had the sign as long as I've driven this way. Once saw some teenagers protesting for gay rights along the road and I was very happy but didn't want to like honk and wave because I was afraid I'd scare them.

23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
"There's a voice, that keeps on calling me.Like a gust of wind, The Drifter quietly blows into a troubled town. He's low key, and usually The Quiet One that's not looking for trouble. He'll rarely raise the interest or curiosity of the townspeople or the Big Bad that's been slowly draining the town of all life and money. Usually, he just wants an odd job to make ends meet before leaving again, the implication being that he's either running from someone or Walking the Earth for the fun of it. Occasionally The Sheriff and his deputies, or a Quirky Miniboss Squad of the Big Bad (sometimes one and the same) will visit the Determined Homesteader employing the Drifter or him directly, to try and lay down the law and extort some money. Then the gloves come off. By this point, he's either got a personal stake in helping the meek townsmen chase off the Big Bad, like saving a hostage or other love interest, or will do it just because it's the right thing to do. An interesting twist on the above is that The Drifter is not just pretending he is Not Left Handed in terms of martial skill, but is also concealing his true purpose - to depose the Big Bad and his goons - hiding in plain sight as a mere Muggle to get information to bring him down. In some variants, he'll be approached by the meek townsmen and appointed The Sheriff (the previous one having been run off or killed). He usually requires some convincing, in which the Big Bad helps out by kicking a few nearby dogs in The Drifter's presence. Once the Big Bad is defeated, expect him to lay down his badge, perhaps passing it on to one of the townspeople who showed some backbone in the fight. This is a hero who often faces the Leave Your Quest Test, and agonizes over it each time. He's a strange combination of traits: A Guardian Angel come to help a town that can't help itself, rarely grim but usually has a bit of The Stoic in him, or at least values few words. Sometimes a Technical Pacifist and former Gunslinger Walking the Earth. Though he's not a Knight in Shining Armor, he's usually several clicks above an Anti-Hero or Ineffectual Loner, being motivated by more compassionate standards than the Well-Intentioned Extremist. Once he's done, he'll probably have to go. Also known as the Stranger archetype, from Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces.note See also Western Characters. Fairly common in After the End settings, where he'll get a scavenger sidekick. Occasionally joins up or becomes the leader of a band of Hitchhiker Heroes. Closely related to the Knight Errant, who wanders the land actively seeking wrongs to right. The Flying Dutchman is often pressed into this role (though not always as a protagonist) by means of a curse. Subtrope of Mysterious Stranger. No relations with Multi-Track Drifting at all.
Down the road, it's where I'll always be.
Every stop I make, I make a new friend.
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again."

gives you pretty much the business perspective on security while CISSP gives
you the technical/operational perspective. I wanted both!
I strongly suggest security professionals to go for both (given the time, the
money, and the curiosity for an holistic view of one's profession). The only
warning is that at times clients are not sure to what kind of professional
