What Happened in Texas
Evaluating smart meters and public backlash.
the independent testing of the accuracy of a large sample of smart meters; 2) a review of complaints received by the PUCT from residential customers with smart meters who expressed concerns over increases in their electric bills; 3) an independent evaluation of the smart metering systems of each TDSP, including an evaluation of the transmission of customer electric usage information from smart meters through the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) to that used for individual customer bills ( i.e., meter-to-bill data flow); 4) a statistical analysis of historical electric usage; and 5) an evaluation of smart meter testing, deployment and provisioning processes and controls in place at each of the TDSPs.
The question of smart meter accuracy was the initial focal point of the independent study in Texas and was thoroughly addressed through a multifaceted approach including meter testing, evaluation of the meters' communication capability and effectiveness, investigation of observed anomalies across certain smart meter attributes, diagnostics and event codes, and analysis of the historical electric usage recorded before and after smart meter deployment (see Figure 2) .
Over 5,600 smart meters were accuracy tested, including: 2,400 smart meters before installation; 2,700 smart meters after installation (that were removed from service and tested in a laboratory environment); more than 500 smart meters in the field, using portable testing equipment; and side-by-side testing of 75 smart meters and 75 electromechanical meters, subjected to load and temperature conditions representative of those experienced in Texas.
The study also encompassed a review and comparison to the historical accuracy testing results for approximately 1.1 million smart meters deployed in Texas and more than 86,000 electromechanical meters.
The results of the accuracy testing indicated that the smart meters accurately measured and recorded electricity usage. Out of 5,627 meters, all but two (or 99.96 percent) tested were found to be accurate by the American National Standards Institute standards of +/- 2 percent. Side-by-side testing, as well as the review of historical accuracy testing results, indicated that the smart meters being deployed are significantly more accurate on average than the electromechanical meters they're replacing (see Figure 3).
With the accuracy of the smart meters being established through initial accuracy testing, the focus quickly turned to questions about whether the advanced metering infrastructure in use was accurately and effectively recording, storing and communicating electric usage from the smart meters for use in customer billing. The independent study evaluated smart meter deployment and data management processes and controls, from the meter through the collection, validation and transmission of data for use in customer billing. This included assessing the processes, written procedures and controls developed by each TDSP to facilitate the successful deployment and use of smart meters in their respective service areas. Also it included a meter-to-bill data analysis of over 270,000 daily and monthly register reads (meter to head-end to MDMS to CIS); and on-demand register read verification for over 650 meters.
The evaluation focused on initial testing and acceptance of advanced meters; meter deployment, including physical installation of advanced meters and initial network connectivity; and data management, including collection, storage,

Written by Christy Hinko Friday, 27 January 2012 00:00
On Thursday, Jan. 12, County Executive Edward Mangano announced the 'soft launch' of "Nassau Now," the County's newest mobile and web application for residents to use an iPhone, iPod, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet to contact Nassau County directly. The government app features requests, events, information, news alerts, traffic advisories, and forms.
The system is up and operational; it is being monitored by system administrators to collect data about how the service is being used and tally the volume of inquiries being submitted through the new application. Mangano expects that there could be some 'bugs' to work out of the system within the initial 60 days, but is confident that this will streamline the process and eliminate a lot of liabilities resulting from nonemergency reports, such as a request for pothole repair. The county will assess the service in a couple of months and identify any issues with the software that need to be corrected.
Mangano said, "We believe this is definitely creating efficiency, definitely save us man hours, definitely going to reduce paper here in the county in the onset; it has a little bit more transparency because you can really track everything."
"By virtue of the fact that they are lodging a complaint, they are getting an immediate response that it was received," Mangano said. Up until now the process of notifying a resident that their request or complaint has been received and is being processed has always been via a written letter, sent to the resident by postal mail. This single step in the process takes more than a week. Mangano said, "We've gone from a minimum of a 10-day response to an instantaneous 'Yes, we've received your complaint.'"
Residents will be able to access a calendar of free concerts, holiday shows and firework displays; receive up to the minute alert notifications relating to weather conditions and construction work zones based on your current GPS location; learn about free programs and events happening throughout Nassau County; and even take photos of concerns and send them directly to the department responsible, to ensure immediate attention and repair.
"In today's tech-focused world, our government has recognized that mobile applications are a great way to connect with the community," said Mangano. "It has often been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and with 'Nassau Now,' residents can quickly and easily express their concerns to Nassau County directly by sending a photo and description through the app."
Mangano restated that this system is not to be used to report criminal activity. This system is to be used as a help line, a communication service with the county about non-emergency matters such as potholes, sign repair, board of election information, tax assessments, etc.
All criminal and emergency communication should continue to be directed to 911, including downed electrical wires.
In addition, if a resident is unsure of the jurisdiction of the incident they are reporting, Mangano assures that the county will do everything possible to redirect the report to the proper authority such as town, or village authorities.
There are other municipalities throughout the country that are using this same service successfully. New York City is using it departmentally for issues such as transportation, but Mangano said Nassau County is the first suburban municipality using this service on such a broad level.
The app can be downloaded at www.nassaucountyny.gov/nassaunow. Residents who do not have access to the mobile app can still use "Nassau Now" through the same website.

2013: 12-2 (8-0 Big Ten)
Urban Meyer led the Buckeyes to twelve straight wins to start off the 2013 season. It was his second year with the school and first year the Buckeyes were eligible to compete in a postseason bowl game. It looked like that bowl game was going to be the National Championship before the Buckeyes fell to Michigan State 34-24 in the Big Ten championship game. Ohio State could not right the ship in time and lost to Clemson in the Orange Bowl 40-35 in their next content. The season, however, cannot be looked at as a disappointment. Ohio State had big wins over their rival Michigan, #23 Wisconsin, and #16 Northwestern. Heisman trophy candidate quarterback, Braxton Miller destroyed opponents both in the air and on the ground. Miller will be returning to Columbus for his senior season and will look to have an enormous impact. The Buckeyes will also be returning receiver Devin Smith and adding five star recruit Raekwon McMillan.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are located in Columbus, Ohio. Historically, the Buckeyes have been one of the most successful football programs in college sports, accumulating 7 national championships, 37 conference championships, and nine undefeated seasons. The Buckeyes play their home games at Ohio Stadium, also known as "the horseshoe" or just "the shoe," and with a capacity of just the shoe," and with a capacity of just over 100,000, it is the fourth largest stadium in the nation. The stadium has one of the most unique designs in college football, and is right in the middle of campus in urban Columbus. Ohio State is also known for its many rivalries, particularly its rivalry with Michigan, which many consider rivalries, particularly its rivalry with Michigan, which many consider to be one of the greatest rivalries in sports. Recent Buckeyes players who have now moved on to play in the NFL include AJ Hawk, James Laurinaitis, and Malcolm Jenkins. Ohio State is now two years free from their postseason ban and will look to compete for a national title—don't miss any of it with Gold Coast Tickets!

During the flurry of Super Bowl commercials, you may have seen Ozzy Osbourne and Justin Bieber. That's something that you certainly wouldn't forget. However, what they were advertising didn't stand out as well. It was Best Buy's Buy Back program. (Check out the commercial below if you missed it.)
Just launched, the program allows consumers to trade in old electronics for store credit. In other words, if you buy a 3D TV from the retailer today and decide that you want a different 3D TV (or just a 2D TV) in six months, Best Buy will buy it back and give you store credit.
Of course, "old" is relative when it comes to your electronics. Trade-in items must be in good working condition, originally purchased from Best Buy, and no more than two years old (four years for TVs). The longer you wait, the less you'll get back for the item. For instance, six months from now, you can get 50 percent back on your 3D TV. Two years from now, that drops to 10 percent. The retailer will take TVs up to four years after the purchase; gadgets like tablets and cell phones can only be brought back within two years.
Also, the Buy Back program isn't free; it's an add-on that Best Buy will try to sell you at the point of purchase. However, they are allowing customers to try it out for a limited time. The retailer says that customers will receive the Buy Back program at no cost on gear bought between now and Saturday, February 12.
Most likely, you'll do better on Craigslist or eBay, but Best Buy is hoping people will be enticed by consistent prices and fear-free dealings. (CraigsList, in particular, can be sketchy.)
Don't expect to see your old items auctioned off for Best Buy profit. Best Buy says that some reclaimed products end up at Dealtree or the Best Buy outlet, while many are recycled or go to the Geek Squad for parts.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Friday at the Movies - Freeze Dried Chicken Treats
As you can see from the video below, we really like these treats. They are much larger than the Pure Bite freeze dried chicken treats we like, so Mom Paula breaks them in half for our little mouths. As you can see, Truffle (the little pig) tried to eat it too quickly and was gagging. The funny part is that Brulee quickly took advantage of the situation and grabbed Truffle's treat from the floor. This is unusual for Brulee because she is usually the patient one when it comes to treats.

Oh we love those treats too! In fact, the first time we had them, the woman found the bag on the floor all chewed up when we were in the apartment. There was a big hole and most of the treats were gone!

They do love those treats. We might have to see about getting some. Their hair is really getting so much thicker now. And Brulee is turning a little more gray isn't she.
We are sending lots and lots of purrs to you Brulee for your surgery. Have a great week end.

Round 13 continues on Super Saturday with five crunch clashes set to make or break the season of several play-off hopefuls.
Indeed, the race for a finals spot heats up with just three rounds to go before the three-week June Test window.
Five matches, five previews... lets get to it then!
Highlanders v Bulls
Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin
The table-topping Bulls head into this encounter full of confidence after they started the Australian leg of their tour with two successive wins over the Rebels and the Waratahs.
Although both those matches were too close for comfort and the men from Pretoria will be keen to put in a more clinical performance against the Highlanders.
The three-time champions can, however, expect an even tougher assignment against their hosts who have held the upper hand in matches between these two sides.
The Bulls have only managed to beat New Zealand's south islanders on four occasions in 14 matches between the two teams since 1998, and last year the Highlanders were victorious in Pretoria to end the Bulls' 20-match winning streak at home in matches which go back to April 2008.
Despite being the leading side in the standings, Bulls coach Frans Ludeke is not underestimating the Highlanders.
"We worked hard to be on top of the log, but the reality is that teams will be coming harder at us than before," he said.
"The Highlanders had two disappointing results in their last outings and will come out to knock us over, no doubt.
"We have picked up good momentum from our Australian leg of our tour and can welcome back three experienced campaigners, so if we focus on our own game and play to our strengths, we will be competitive."
The Highlanders are still in the race for the play-offs, despite suffering a somewhat surprising 26-20 home defeat to the Hurricanes last week.
They are currently in seventh spot on the table - just a place below the Sharks who are ahead of them in the standings by a single point - and will be targeting this weekend's clash as the perfect opportunity to improve their position.
Andrew Hore, Adam Thomson, Aaron Smith, Tamati Ellison and Ben Smith will be buoyed by their call-ups to new All Blacks coach Steve Hansen's 35-man training squad but the Bulls will have to keep a watchful eye on star wing Hosea Gear who was amongst the unlucky ones - along with fellow Highlander,lock Jarrad Hoeata - who missed out on selection.
Prediction: Expect a close encounter as both these teams have plenty to play for in this clash. The Bulls, however, have their tails up whereas the Highlanders could be a little deflated after their recent loss at home. Bulls by five!
The teams:
Highlanders: 15 Ben Smith, 14 Siale Piutau, 13 Tamati Ellison, 12 Phil Burleigh, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Mike Delany, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Nasi Manu, 7 Tim Boys, 6 Adam Thomson, 5 Nick Crosswell, 4 Jarrad Hoeata, 3 Ma'afu Fia, 2 Jason Rutledge, 1 Jamie Mackintosh (c).
Replacements: 16 Andrew Hore, 17 Bronson Murray, 18 Hoani MacDonald/Josh Bekhuis, 19 Scott Fuglistaller, 20 Jimmy Cowan, 21 Chris Noakes, 22 Kenny Lynn.
Bulls: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morn� Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 CJ Stander, 6 Dewald Potgieter, 5 Juandr� Kruger, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dean Greyling.
Replacements: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Rayno Gerber, 18 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouch�, 22 JJ Engelbrecht.
Referee: Ian Smith (Australia)
Crusaders v Blues
AMI Stadium, Christchurch
The Crusaders will be out to make amends for last week's shock defeat to the Rebels when they take on the Blues.
The seven-time Super Rugby champions will want to quickly forget their first Super Rugby outing in Melbourne, which ended in an unexpected 28-19 win for the home side.
The Crusaders were held scoreless in the second half for the first time in three years as the spirited Rebels roared home. Another worry for the Crusaders is that they have scored just one try in the last two matches.
Even though the red and black machine have not been firing on all cyllinders, coach Todd Blackadder is positive about the Crusaders chances for the play offs.
"It's not over yet. There are still plenty of points on offer and there will be a few twists and turns to come," Blackadder told the NZ Herald.
"You look at a team like Manchester City and what they've managed to do (win the title in the final minutes of the last match of the season)."
Blackadder must now pick his team up for Saturday's return derby clash with the Blues, whose torrid run of defeats finally came to an end as they tamed the Lions 25-3 at Eden Park.
It was by no means pretty or clinical, nor was it overly convincing against the Super Rugby cellar dwellers, but it was a crucial win nonetheless after seven long weeks of agony.
But with yet another player now added to the Blues' injury toll in the form of inmpressive prop Charlie Faumuina, the injury-savaged visitors will have a hard time repeating last week's success.
Ten players in the Blues' 22 for Saturday's clash were not in the side when the two teams played each other in the opening round of the season, with nine out injured - Jerome Kaino, Faumuina, Keven Mealamu, Chris Lowrey, Anthony Boric, Brad Mika, Isaia Toeava, Rene Ranger and Rudi Wulf.
Only three players in the starting XV are in the same position in the second match that they were for the first - Ali Williams, Daniel Braid and David Raikuna.
However there are two All Blacks who did not face the Crusaders in round one who line up for the New Zealand derby in Tony Woodcock and Ma'a Nonu who will add some much needed experience and direction to a relatively young side.
Blues coach Lam said he was expecting a fierce challenge from the fired-up Crusaders.
"It's certainly going to be a dogfight down there," he said.
"There's going to be a full crowd I hear and they're hurting, we're hurting but at the end of the day it's a Blues v Crusaders game and there will be plenty of feeling like there always is. It's a great opportunity for us to try and back up from last week."
Prediction: Crusaders to hit the ground running and bounce back with a bang... Crusaders by 14!
The teams:

Reds v Lions
Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane
The defending champions will be eager to build on last weekend's morale-boosting win over the Chiefs when they host the competition's bottom-placed team this weekend.
The Reds showed against the Chiefs that they are still capable of beating any side in the competition and that they are still in with a fair shot at securing a spot in the play-offs.
That win means that they are now in ninth position on the table but their 31 point tally means they are within a bonus-point victory of drawing level with the Sharks who occupy sixth spot in the standings.
And they will surely be fancying their chances of securing the win and the four-try bonus point against the hapless Lions who have managed just one victory during their entire campaign.
The Reds were given a timely boost when Wallabies fly-half Quade Cooper was included in their run-on side for this match and his partnership with scrum-half Will Genia will be expected to unlock the Lions' defence.
However, Reds captain and lock James Horwill's battle with Lions counterpart Franco van der Merwe for line-out possession could also be crucial to victory.
Although they've been struggling without Cooper, the Reds have still been a force on attack and have scored tries inside the first three minutes in each of their last three fixtures.
But despite beating the Chiefs, they were trailing 22-8 at half-time against the Hamilton-based franchise and will be looking to put an 80 minute performance against the South African strugglers.
The Lions are on a nine match winless streak with their sole triumph being a 30-27 win over the Cheetahs in their season opener. The Johannesburg-based franchise's captain, number eight Josh Strauss have been their standout performer throughout their campaign.
Strauss leads from the front, is not afraid to put his body on the line and has given his all in every match that he plays. Expect more of the same in this clash.
Another player who has impressed is back-line stalwart Jaco Taute. Usually a full-back, Taute has been playing in the midfield in recent weeks where he has done an adequate job. He has a keen eye for the gap and could prove a handful if he is given too much space.
Prediction: The Reds will be keen to build on their recent success and will prove too strong for the struggling Lions, especially on their own turf. Reds by 15!

Cheetahs v Sharks
Vodacom Park, Bloemfontein
The Sharks head into Saturday's encounter looking to achieve what will be a first for the season - securing three wins on the trot. The men from Durban find themselves sitting in mid-table largely because they have been unable to string results together, playing fits and spurts.
However, having secured wins over first the Highlanders and then the Force last weekend, John Plumtree's men have perhaps their best chance of ending this trend when they face the Cheetahs on Saturday.
With five games to go, the Sharks are sitting pretty in that three of those games are against opposition struggling in the lower echelons of the table and three of them are also on home soil. Aided by the highly competitive New Zealand conference which has seen many of the Kiwi teams stumble in recent weeks, the Sharks are very well placed to secure a wildcard berth that seemed highly unlikely in a season that began with two defeats.
While hope still remains for the Sharks, it's been very much a season of what might have been for the Cheetahs. The six bonus points that the Cheetahs have picked up for losing by seven or less are a clear indication that they've been there or there about throughout. Unfortunately for the Bloemfontein-based outfit, the close games just haven't gone their way.
The loss of Johan Goosen certainly hasn't helped the Cheetahs in recent weeks, especially when one considers Sias Ebersohn's failure to step up in his absence. Having performed admirably as a replacement against the Stormers last week, Riaan Smith will wear the number ten jersey this time around and he will have a tough task on his hands to get the game moving forward.
Naka Drotske's men are a team that often show signs of skill but are let down in their execution. However, they showed against the Stormers that they are capable of working the ball up for numerous phases and against the slightly more porous Sharks defence they may find themselves getting over the try line.
Prediction: The Cheetahs have proved a bogey team for the Sharks, particularly in Bloemfontein, but with a play-off berth in the offering the Sharks should take this one by ten but it won't be easy.
The teams:
Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Cameron Jacobs, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Andries Strauss, 11 Willie le Roux, 10 Riaan Smit, 9 Piet van Zyl, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Justin Downey, 6 Heinrich Brussow, 5 George Earle, 4 Izak van der Westhuizen, 3 WP Nel, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Coenie Oosthuizen.
Replacements: 16 Hercu Liebenberg, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Andries Ferreira, 19 Ashley Johnson, 20 Tewis de Bruyn, 21 Sias Ebersohn, 22 Philip Snyman.
Sharks: 15 Riaan Viljoen, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Paul Jordaan, 12 Tim Whitehead, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Patrick Lambie, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Keegan Daniel (c), 7 Marcell Coetzee, 6 Jacques Botes, 5 Anton Bresler, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Craig Burden, 17 Wiehahn Herbst, 18 Willem Alberts, 19 Jean Deysel, 20 Ryan Kankowski, 21 Frederic Michalak, 22 Meyer Bosman.
Referee: Jonathan Kaplan (South Africa)
Stormers v Waratahs
Newlands Stadium, Cape Town
All the talk regarding the Stormers revolves around their seeming inability to score tries. Along with basement dwellers the Blues and Lions, the Stormers are the only side that haven't picked up a four-try bonus point and only the Lions have scored fewer five-pointers. However, the men from the Cape are also the only team to have been beaten just once.
It's not hard to see why the Stormers have been criticised for their lack of tries, but as the successful Bulls teams of years gone by will attest, a win is a win and if it gets you the title that is all that matters.
Allister Coetzee's men have found a winning formula; their combination of staunch defence and the boot of Peter Grant. With nine wins from ten, Coetzee will see no reason to change this pattern and rightly so.
In the Waratahs the Stormers face a team who have often threatened to upset the record book, losing to the Bulls by three points last time out and to the Crusaders by four two weeks prior.
However, the class of 2012 appear to just lack the required class to make a sizeable impact on the tournament. Despite being littered with Wallabies, the 'Tahs just don't seem to have been able to find the cohesion that leads to consistent wins.
Without injured speedster Lachie Turner and Drew Mitchell, the Waratahs have been stymied slightly in terms of finding the cutting edge in the 22 and up against such a strong defensive outfit as the Stormers this could prove problematic.
Prediction: It's unlikely to be a classic contest but wins are what matter and the Stormers will pick another one up by ten points - they may even score a few tries.
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (c), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Jebb Sinclair, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Deon Fourie, 17 Frans Malherbe, 18 De Kock Steenkamp, 19 Don Armand, 20 Louis Schreuder, 21 Burton Francis, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.

What to expect at the 9:30 Club
WTOP's Tim Bracken reports.
Tim Bracken, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - One of the nation's top music venues will be drawing a different crowd on Sunday.
The 9:30 Club in the District will host Top Shelf, a one night performance featuring the best storytellers from local non-profit SpeakeasyDC.
The scheduled Jan. 6 performance presents eight stories, each selected from nearly 150 that have been performed over the past 12 months.
Founded in 1997, SpeakeasyDC's mission is to bolster the tradition of oral history through a mix of educational programs, open-mic nights and ensemble shows. The organization's flagship class, Storytelling 101, welcomes new participants all year long. Each multi-week course concludes with an invite-only showcase for family and friends.
What should the uninitiated expect from the upcoming 9:30 Club event?
"A cross between stand-up comedy, theater and memoir," SpeakeasyDC Director Amy Saidman tells WTOP in an email.
"Each performer shares an autobiographical story that is true and personal. The stories are hilarious and moving, honest and real, and this show will be no exception."
The scheduled stories include tales of parking lot drama, the dark side of human nature, a night from hell in a bed-and-breakfast and a "cautionary tale about brothers, booze and naked hippies."
Saidman prefers to present this particular event at the 9:30 Club over a more traditional theater setting.
"It's got exactly the atmosphere we are looking for - a casual vibe with booze, food, and seats for 750 people," says Saidman.
The seated event won't be completely devoid of music.
Local favorite DJ Lil'e will turn in a pre- show set, beginning when doors open at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $20, storytelling begins at 7:30 p.m.
Watch one of the highlights from a 2012 SpeakeasyDC event in the video below.

The West is mystified by the land of the rising sun, and for good reason. Within mere decades of global upheaval, on a string of islands scarcely the size of Montana, this country of 127 million became the world's second biggest economy - without any discernible resource sector.
Indeed, Japan is as foreign as it gets (unless, of course, you're Japanese). The Western influence is here in a cartoonish kind of way - something the Elvises and break dancers can attest to - but complex layers of mores and customs continue to dominate the culture. It would take a lifetime to master them all, which is why so many visitors spend a lifetime coming back.
Accommodations run the gamut from Tokyo's sleek, ultra-modern towers to the pastoral idealism of Naoshima, a former fishing island.

If you're scrambling for more 3D content, Yabazam wants to give it to you—assuming you have a Samsung 3D TV. The streaming service just started rolling out on select Samsung 3D TVs this week.
Yabazam first launched on LG 3D TVs back in January. The subscription-based service delivers unlimited viewing of original 3D programming. So it looks like you won't get Avatar, Toy Story 3 or anything like that.
Right now, the service includes independent movies, documentaries, music videos and animated features. According to Yabazam, the company also adds new content on a weekly basis.
The Yabazam service is available through Samsung's Smart Hub portal. Users will also have to sign up for the service, which includes paying a $9.99 monthly fee.
"Samsung has been an innovator in 3D technology and a leader in 3D television sales," says Chris Yewdall, CEO of parent company DDD. "We're excited to expand our Yabazam 3D subscription service to a brand that appreciates 3D and to its customers who have shown great interest in watching compelling 3D entertainment in the comfort of their living rooms."
If you're outside of the U.S., you can stream Yabazam on a pay-per-view basis. Yabazam says that the 3D app has been downloaded over 260,000 times to date and currently averages 2,000 3D movie-viewing sessions per day.

With its slick metal body, the HTC One Mini 2 is among the most luxurious compact phones around. HTC, however, has given it a set of specs that put it more alongside the dirt-cheap Moto G than the One M8. This is definitely not the flagship One M8 in a more compact form. If style is of the utmost importance, it's worth checking out, but the Moto G is much better value.

Upon receipt this bass required quite a bit of setup. the action was very high and got even worse after i tuned it. However a few truss rod adjustments etc (you guys know the drill lol) what a GREAT playing/sounding guitar! You can adjust this bass to fit any sound, the neck feels awesome, the frets are smooth....the strings it came with are ok at best (kinda ringy clangy cheap old roundwounds) I prefer flats so these strings never stood a chance with me so maybe im not being fair even mentioning them, but i have played better roundwounds. :-)
I also own a Squier vm jazz, a Squier affinity p bass, and an Epiphone thunderbird pro iv. I love all 4 of them for various reasons, but the jag really is my "go to" bass. Its so easy to play its light, its versatile and it just reeks of quality worth about 3 times the $199 i paid for it BRAND NEW! at a .com. Getting to the point...Pull the trigger on this bad little guy right now before the guys at fender sober up and realize this bad boy can pull in a lot more than they are asking and act accordingly.
nvsoon owns this item
as soon as I saw it with that massive humbucker, I knew I had to have it. A massive step up in every way from my P bass copy, this has a great EQ, and a beautiful neck, exactly everything that I want from a bass. Good job guys
MrJiJ owns this item
I got this bass at a local guitar center, and boy am I glad that I picked this baby up. This was my first bass guitar (I had just transitioned from the guitar) and I was stoked to start playing right away. I really can't compare this to other basses; since this is the only one I have played, but I can tell you this isn't an ordinary entry-level bass. The neck is amazing... It's so easy for me to slide my hand up and down the neck. Also, the body is ultra-slim and light so it's easy to travel with this amazing instrument.
Five Stars
Some songs call for a different sound.I already had 2 Squier basses (A VM Jazz 70s and Jaguar P/J) and was wanting to get a Stingray type (louder humbucker pickup) bass. This Vintage Modified Jaguar® Bass Special HB filled the need perfecty and still feels and plays just like my other Fender/Squier basses. #WinWin

I have been playing bass guitar in rock and pop groups here in Australia, part time, for nearly 50 years. I have a collection of over 20 bass guitars which include Fender, Burns, Ernie Ball, Yamaha, Dame, Ibanez, Kramer & a smattering of Korean basses. My Fenders include an American Deluxe Jazz, a Frank Bello custom shop, and a Squier Precision Bass. I have a red Jaguar E Type (XKE) and have always wanted a Jaguar Bass to go with it. When I saw this new model Squier Jaguar in Candy Apple Red metallic, featuring a Stingray style single hum-bucker, brand new in the USA for less than $200, I took the plunge and ordered one from an on-line music store in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. What a brilliant bass! Setup was nearly spot on when landed. I have gigged my Ernie Ball Stingray for several years now, but this new Jaguar creature is just phenomenal. Lovely top quality finish (it is crafted in Indonesia). Incredible vintage punch and bottom end growl, but its on board 3 band active electronics can produce clean, clear top end for slap or cut through when needed. It is almost as good in quality and finish as any other Fender I have played. I am now taking my Squier Jaguar everywhere with me. It is light and not fatiguing for 4 hour stands and versatile enough to suit all of the music styles my band performs (from hard rock to pop/folk to Latin American styles). I am stoked; and have just bought a Fender Modern Player Chocolate-burst Jaguar guitar to go with it.

This was really a great bass. It is my first bass and you don't really know how good of a deal you are getting. From the time of purchase, there is no fret buzz, active pick-ups, there is virtually nothing wrong with this bass. If you are into Fender basses, this one is a need! i have tryed my fair share of Fender basses, but this one takes the cake. Your fingers will just glide over the fret board. Amazing!

There are tons of connected TV options out there right now. However, nothing is really as comprehensive as what you'd find on a laptop or smartphone. IOGEAR wants to share that wealth of web-based entertainment with your HDTV, via two new products.
The new IOGEAR Wireless Mobile and WiDi to HDTV is designed to stream content wirelessly from a smartphone or laptop to the TV, with the latest Wireless 1080p Computer to HD Display Kit offering a more compact option for Apple laptops.
The Wireless Mobile and WiDi to HDTV (also known as the GWAVR) can stream video, photos, music and web content to the TV from just about any smartphone, tablet or laptop—up to 30 feet away. It supports both Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) and Miracast and works with both iOS and Android devices.
IOGEAR also says that the free iMediaShare app can be added into the mix. This option makes select content from Vimeo, Facebook, Picasa and YouTube available for streaming.

Thursday, 20 June 2013 00:00
I am writing in response to Howard Weitzman's letter to the editor dated May 31, 2013 wherein he disputes the highly respected journalist Mike Barry's commentary "Quietly Vindicated" which complimented the Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos, published on May 17, 2013.
Let's remember that Mr. Weitzman is the former Comptroller who left the County nearly bankrupt with a $250 million structural deficit. He is now a candidate for Comptroller attempting gain attention with misleading statements. He is wrong in every allegation.
The staff of Comptroller George Maragos carefully review every invoice to insure that the Nassau County taxpayer is getting value for every dollar spent. The Comptroller's Office is NOT under any investigation, and Mr. Maragos is always ready to testify in front of the Legislator when formally requested
Mike Barry's independent column, in addition to the Independent Legislative Office of Budget Review (OLBR), concluded that all invoices that were approved and paid by the Comptroller's Office were supported by adequate documentation. In addition the OLBR report noted that the Controller's Office found errors with some claims that saved the County $500,000. Comptroller Maragos has publicly invited the press and all County Legislators to visit his office to review any paid claim to see for themselves.
On several occasions our media has reported that the District Attorney and the Attorney General have only requested documents from numerous County Departments and vendors including the Comptroller's Office in their investigations of certain vendors. The Comptroller's Office is NOT under investigation as alleged by Mr. Weitzman.
If Mr. Weitzman is wrong every one of his allegations, how can he be trusted to oversee the County money? I hope that Mr.Weitzman raises his campaign out of the cutter and show some respect for the Nassau County voters.

My dad is a geophycisist (sp?) at GNS, Geological and Nuclear Sciences and my mom's a lecturer at Victoria University, the uni in Wellington. Have no idea what they make though.
Maybe. Despite having a teacher for a mom I still expect all my teachers to have no sort of life outside of school whatsoever.
But they still refuse to buy me the new laptop I've been watching for months.
my parents pull in about a 100k combined. we dont pay taxes here, shits relatively cheap and we dont spend extravagantly so we've never had to worry about money. i certainly am not 'rich' though, especially compared to people like eve, mex and pichubro.
country's oil business is operated solely by the government
real estate, tourism, fines, tolls, public transport, etc, etc
Your an absolutely wonderful man, any girl that is yours is lucky and I know that from personal experience. ~KMT
it isnt 'my' government and im outta here in a couple of months so i really couldnt care less
and btw there is corporate tax and sales tax on things like cigarettes and alcohol. there is just no personal/income tax. they'll probably introduce it some point down the line but i doubt it will be a high % because the government basically owns all the major sources of revenue and has hordes of ways to generate more money.
it isnt a republic. the fnc is a council with half of its body elected by citizens who handle legislative duties while the sheikhs go on desert safaris in their land cruisers and have dozens of children with their multiple wives.
Whoo! 9.6k a year!
qoorl you would seriously have more money if you went to college full time with financial aid

Galkyd is an alkyd resin painting medium that increases the fluidity of oil colors and speeds their drying time. Thin layers of oil colors are dry in 24 hours. The viscosity of Galkyd is similar to traditional painting mediums made from linseed stand oil. Galkyd levels brush strokes, creates a strong flexible paint film and leaves an enamel like glossy finish. Galkyd is ready to use. Thins with odorless mineral spirits. Painters can add up to 50% by volume odorless mineral spirits to change the viscosity of Galkyd for glazing. Galkyds are excellent glazing mediums, and are available in glass bottles.

I am the world's biggest Galkyd fan. It's perfect to use mixed with Linseed oil as a medium. It speeds up the drying time so I can really maximize glazing.

|ianmlewis says:
The default list when adding a new task should be the current viewed list rather that just the default RTM list. It's totally unintuitive to be looking at my "work" list, click add task, and have the list drop down default to "personal". The effect is that I often end up adding tasks to the wrong list and having to change the view to find it and change it to the correct list.

Taking care of your teeth and gums isn't just about preventing cavities or bad breath. The mouth is a gateway into your body's overall health. And since gum disease and other health problems may be linked, brushing and flossing are more important than ever. See your dentist regularly to keep your smile, and yourself, healthy.
Thanks to good oral health habits, more adults are keeping their natural teeth their entire lives. The key is prevention. The unique dental needs of senior adults include a vital connection between a healthy body and a healthy mouth. Don't neglect your oral health. It's an important part of being Mouth Healthy for Life.
Tooth decay is the destruction of your tooth enamel, the hard, outer layer of your teeth. It can be a problem for children, teens and adults. Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, constantly forms on your teeth. When you eat or drink foods containing sugars, the bacteria in plaque produce acids that attack tooth enamel. The stickiness of the plaque keeps these acids in contact with your teeth and over time the enamel can break down. This is when cavities can form.
Cavities are more common among children, but changes that occur with aging make cavities an adult problem, too. Recession of the gums away from the teeth, combined with an increased incidence of gum disease, can expose tooth roots to plaque. Tooth roots are covered with cementum, a softer tissue than enamel. They are susceptible to decay and are more sensitive to touch and to hot and cold. It's common for people over age 50 to have tooth-root decay.
Decay around the edges, or a margin, of fillings is also common for older adults. Because many older adults lacked benefits of fluoride and modern preventive dental care when they were growing up, they often have a number of dental fillings. Over the years, these fillings may weaken and tend to fracture and leak around the edges. Bacteria accumulate in these tiny crevices causing acid to build up which leads to decay.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools rating is a simple tool for parents to compare schools based on test scores, student academic growth, and college readiness. It compares schools across the state, where the highest rated schools in the state are designated as "Above Average" and the lowest "Below Average." It is designed to be a starting point to help parents make baseline comparisons. We always advise parents to visit the school and consider other information on school performance and programs, as well as consider their child's and family's needs as part of the school selection process.
Rating Breakdown
|Test score rating
|Test score rating examines how students at this school performed on standardized tests compared with other schools in the state. Test scores are based on 2012-13 TCAP results from the state of Colorado.
|Student growth rating
|Student growth rating measures whether students at this school are making academic progress over time. Specifically, the rating looks at how much progress individual students have made on reading and math assessments during the past year or more. This rating is based on 2011-12 and 2012-13 Median Growth Percentiles in Math, English Language Arts, and Writing from the state of Colorado.

Live blog - All the action | The Match: Flying start for Moyes
In the teeming rain at the Liberty Stadium, Swansea had threatened to make a nuisance of themselves in inclement conditions, but two quick-fire first-half goals and another two in the second half set David Moyes on his way to a first league win as Reds boss, simultaneously starting the champions' title defence with a victory and putting United top of the league.
Robin van Persie, on his 50th United appearance, continued his scoring start to the campaign with a brilliantly improvised volley on 34 minutes, and just two minutes later Danny Welbeck turned home from close range after being teed up by Antonio Valencia. It hadn't been plain-sailing before that; Swansea started strongly – literally, with some stern challenges.
Slick conditions encouraged an open encounter, albeit lacking a little coherence at times. Michu had the ball in the back of the net in the first half but it was ruled out for offside. And with the home side showing they were a threat, that's when United struck the afore-mentioned double blow. Michael Laudrup introduced Wilfried Bony and Pablo Hernandez at the break and the former gave his team a more positive outlook, while Michu forced a string of saves and interceptions from David De Gea.
Wayne Rooney emerged from the bench for his first Reds outing of the season, and one of his runs helped create space for van Persie as he smashed United's third goal right into the top corner. With daylight between the two teams, United relaxed a little, but Swansea kept plugging away and when the Reds failed to clear the ball, Bony pounced and fired a shot into De Gea's bottom left corner. However, United had the final say and Welbeck's sublime chip in stoppage time, laid on by Rooney, added some gloss to the scoreline in a winning start to Moyes' managerial reign.

Yep, Alexa Chung has scored a hat trick! The achingly cool Brit has just bagged the Style Icon gong at the British Fashion Awards for the THIRD year running. Mr Valentino presented the award to our Chungers who looked understandably delighted. It was back in 2010 when Alexa first picked up the accolade and she scooped the much-coveted prize again in 2011. 'It's just nice that I'm still relevant!' she told us at the time - and tonight proves that one year on, she certainly still is.
The British Style Award (sponsored by Vodafone) is the only award of the night that's decided for by the Great British Public. You voted in your trillions for the individual who 'most embodies the spirit of London and is an international ambassador for London as a leading creative fashion capital.' Alexa had stiff competition from stylish types including Victoria Beckham, Tilda Swinton and Carey Mulligan as well as the great Kates - Middleton and Moss - but it was Alexa who came out triumphant. And is it any wonder?
Alexa has had a stonking 2012 on the fashion front. Here are the top 10 highlights of a year in La Chung...
1. she made a faaaabulous cameo on Gossip Girl
2. she started work on a style book
3. ...and 'looked into' starting her own fashion line
4. she inspired an entire Topshop collection
5. she was named BFC's Young Style Ambassador
6. she worked her '60s-style bangs for Maje and struck a pose for Vero Moda
7. she was the creative director AND face of Superga's campaign
8. she wore and rewore her J.W. Anderson For Topshop bat jumper
9. she racked up a zillion FROW appearances
10. she survived Hurricane Sandy in a Barbour coat
Phewf. What could POSSIBLY top all that?!
