I just saw a headline today that read something to the effect of a study that confirmed that 30 degrees is the best amount of incline for working upper chest with dumbells or barbells.
What do you think?
I think it is safe to say probably, as I've tested both 30 degrees and 45 degrees. I used to really stick to 45 basically because that was what I saw everyone else doing, but when I tried 30, I noticed there was less stress on the front delts and more stress actually on my upper chest.
I am looking to really pack on some thickness in my upper and inner chest at the same time during the rest of the year. That is one of the areas where I am lacking in comparison to my shoulders and mid/lower/outer chest.
But I am curious what you guys and gals' opinions are about the angles based on your experience and results?

HSBC launches HSBC ESI Worldwide Equity UCITS ETF
Related fund data links
HSBC ETFs has launched the HSBC ESI Worldwide Equity ETF, an economy-weighted smart beta exchange-traded fund, on the London Stock Exchange.
The new ETF, which is domiciled in Ireland, is designed to replicate the performance of the HSBC Economic Scale Index Worldwide, a fundamentally weighted index that measures the performance of more than 2,300 constituents across developed and emerging markets.
The total expense ratio (TER) of the fund is up to 0.25 per cent.
The index is designed to provide investors with exposure to equities based on weights which reflect the economic scale or footprint of companies and countries using the notion of "Value Added" rather than their respective market capitalisation.
The fund may use financial derivative instruments (FDI) including futures, forwards, foreign exchange contracts (including spot and forward contracts), equity (index) options and contracts for differences, which may be used to reduce tracking error between the fund's performance and that of the index.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- The Collier County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating three recent deaths. Sheriff Kevin Rambosk is assuring the community that the cases are not related and detectives haven't uncovered any information that would lead them to believe that the public is in danger.
Deputies responded to 115 Flame Vine Drive at 6:44 a.m. Wednesday after receiving a report of a deceased person. Upon arrival they discovered the body of a person later identified as Concetta Bedell, 44, who lived at that address.
Neighbors told detectives Wednesday morning that they heard gunshots in the area of the home at around 1:30 a.m. but did not report them to law enforcement. Detectives believe these gunshots may be related to this case.
Bedell had an active injunction for protection against Lawrence Joseph MacDonald, 44. Based on preliminary investigation detectives consider MacDonald a person of interest and are attempting to locate him for an interview. If anyone knows of MacDonald's whereabouts or has any other information useful to this investigation they should contact the Collier County Sheriff's Office at 239-252-9300, or to remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward call Crime Stoppers at 239-780-8477.
In the case of Ernest Torres, whose body was discovered Aug. 4 at his 2248 54th Terrace S.W. home, detectives have identified a person of interest. That person is currently in custody on other charges.
In the case of Joseph Warren Godcharles, whose body was discovered Aug. 1 at his 8234 Key Royal Circle #511 residence, detectives continue to evaluate evidence, complete requests for lab work and conduct interviews. While no suspects have been established at this point in the investigation, evidence at the scene leads detectives to believe that the person responsible for Godcharles' death was someone known to him.
Anyone having information on any of these cases should contact the Collier County Sheriff's Office at 239-252-9300, or to remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-8477.

Please note that this article is in no way supposed to be an authoritative guide, just a quick look at how things functions and any new or changed features I come across. As this isnt even a beta expect many things to change as time rolls on as well.
I think it would be fair to say that many of us have been waiting with baited breath for this first glimpse of Windows 8, and for me to see this version running on a tablet has been a revelation, but there are some things that need to be pointed out. It is in no way a finished, or even a beta version. This preview is, I suspect, solely designed to allow developers to get to grips with the new Metro interface and begin to develop apps for it. In fact, many of the pre-installed Metro apps are either incomplete or fail to work at all on the RM Slate due to what I suspect is the graphic hardware limitations of the device. In fact, possibly the best performing app that I have come across is Internet Explorer, but even then, it is lacking some configuration options within Metro.
Many control panel and configuration apps fail to work correctly, but this could be down to driver and other issues.
RM Slate Hardware Spec
Just to give you an idea of what kind of platform you can expect W8 with Metro to run on. Please note the RM Slate is also known as the Pegatron Masterpad and has, I suspect, been OEM'd throughout the world under a variety of different names.
Intel Atom N450 hyperthreaded 1.6Ghz processor
64MB Intel 3150 graphics
11.6" 2 point capacitive touchscreen running @ 1366x768
Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless
I decided to do a fresh, clean installation using a Samsung external USB CD/DVD drive from the downloaded x86 version of W8, this was because only x86 drivers were available from the RM support site. The installation process was very smooth and I could thankfully use the touch screen for the few configuration options that were offered (region/KB selection, disk setup) during the initial setup process. The actual setup took about half an hour, but that may have been down to the fact I had accidentally unplugged the slate and it was running on battery! I shall have to repeat this in the future to see if it is any faster running from a mains charge.
Once the initial setup is complete and the system files have installed you are asked to fill out user details, including the option to link your account to Microsofts Live services. You should note that the initial build I am working with has little or no actual software installed and I had to download the Live Essentials suite from Microsoft to add Messenger because If it was there as part of the initial build I couldnt find it.
Once done you are faced with a rather lovely splash screen which you can sweep up and away with the deft flick of a finger to reveal the real login screen and the wonderful new Microsoft on-screen keyboard, which is worlds away from the awfulness of the old one. Simply enter your password and youre in, being faced with the new Metro interface full of applications and shortcuts to Internet Explorer, Tweet@rama (a Twitter client) and the Socialite Facebook app. More interestingly, there is a link to Control Panel. Dont confuse this with the real control panel; this panel is mainly orientated towards user enhancement and environment settings. For more down and dirty configuration you will have to find its more fully featured cousin lurking deep within via the More Settings option at the bottom of the user control panel. One very nice feature I have noticed lurking at the bottom of the general settings page of the new control panel is the ability to do twe previously awkward tasks from within Windows
- Reload all of the orgional Windows files without affecting files or settings in case of any issues that may occur.
- Do a 'factory reset' of Windows and restore it to it's origional freshly installed state.
I suspect these two feature will save EduGeek members a lot of time and effort in the future.

The login screen.
Attachment 11345 Welcome to Metro. It's fast and it's slick. Just don't expect much from the pre-installed apps.
The two magic reset functions in the new look control panel.
Before we go further Ill have to explain how the touch controls work to make you better understand how it all operates.
The touch controls operate as all touch controls do. Scroll left, right and up and down where required, but the touch interface in Windows 7 also has several pop-out and up-menus.
For instance if you are in the main Metro interface and drag out from the right hand side of the screen a menu appears allowing you to search, share, access the start menu (in this case the metro start menu), connect to devices and access settings.
If you drag up from the bottom of the screen with an application open you can access extra features and options. For instance, there are 2 Internet Explorer interfaces. One classic and one designed for Metro (Please note the metro version of IE does not work with Flash or Java, however the classic does. Very strange!). The Metro IE is much smoother in finger operation and dragging up from the bottom of the screen reveals the address bar whilst at the top are open tabs. If you have no tabs open it will show the most frequently accessed sites arranged as tiles. Some of these currently prove to be a little awkward as you need a multi-touch screen to raise the menu and hold it there whilst a second press is required to activate a control. Still, its not even a beta, so I can really complain.
If you have open applications you can sweep from the left hand side of the screen to the right to scroll between them, and if you halt part way you can split the screen between the 2 screens, or further to show the open screen and other open apps in a split screen.
Pinch and zoom also works very well with multi-touch screens with text resolved very nicely indeed.
You should also note the new Explorer interface with its ribbon layout. This new ribbon is very, very finger friendly and renaming, moving and working with files via touch has never been easier negating the need to touch-and-hold for right click options.
The onscreen keyboard showing shortcuts in Internet Explorer 10 Metro.
The split screen you can get by part way scrolling between open applications.
Pinch and zoom resolves text nicely on the RM Slate.
Once you have installed Windows 8 and logged on for the first time you will be presented with the new Metro interface. This is designed almost solely as a touch interface and the myriad of apps laid out in tiles make for easy access. What you will also find, once you begin to install other software, is that their shortcuts appear on the far right-hand side of the interface (youll have to scroll to them) including many links that, to be honest, should not have been there such as uninstall and configuration links. I have no doubt these will be sorted out in later test releases.
When you open any Metro based app it will open within the Metro desktop shell, opening any other software you have installed will open the classic desktop and run from there instead, and all of the ones I have installed so far from Windows Live Suite to Outlook 2010 work fine with touch, and the new on-screen keyboard is always at hand via a keyboard icon which appears next to any text box you touch.
Unfortunately, it must be said, many of the pre-installed Metro apps are not very good, incomplete or just dont seem to work at all. Admittedly, they are there as either proof of concept or simply to demonstrate certain techniques for app development. The most complete application has to be Internet Explorer and I have to admit to being very impressed by it. It has a simple but elegant method of operation and is very intuitive to use. Other apps such as the Facebook, Twitter and News clients have minimalistic interfaces and functionality, but again, I suspect they are simply there to show off various development techniques.
I also cannot currently find any way of managing or removing Metro apps, so if anyone can let me know it would be much appreciated.
The Metro interface showing newly installed non-Metro programs. Note uninstall applications also listed!
The new contol panel.
Internet Explorer showing tab shorcuts and URL bar. This is accessed by swiping up from the bottom of the screen in IE.
The classic shell
The classic windows desktop and explorer shell is still present but seems to take second place to Metro. This is, I suspect, because Microsoft want people to develop Metro apps, and as all normal Windows applications I have installed seem to work fine, most effort will be placed on Metro with the classic shell seeing some minor tweaks and improvements in the early stages of W8 development.
The 'classic' desktop and explorer shell showing the new tabbed interface.
The 'real' control panel. Note the 16 bit application support app in the top left hand corner.
The new task manager showing the performace report. This screen grab was from a VM, so please don't think I have an uber tablet!
Task manager showing running processes. Note the 'suspended Metro app. Metro apps are automatically suspended when not in use to save processor power.
The RM Slate and performance
I have to admit to being more than a bit impressed as to how the RM Slate handled Windows 8. I honestly didnt think the hardware would have been able to run it competently. But it does. All Metro scrolling and desktop effects are nice and fast with no discernible lag or lack of response to touch commands. The tablet also boots in about 10 seconds (after the BIOS splash-screen closes).
To get it working correctly though, you will have to download and install the slate drivers from here: RM Slate 100 driver collection (Microsoft Windows 7 - 32 bit) [M11JB / 0ALC269 / 0GMA500 / AR9002 / AX88772]
You will experience driver installation errors stating that a particular driver package is not designed for this version of Windows when installing, however, simply install them using compatibility mode for Windows 7 and all will be fine. You may also see a bit of a performance gain in using an SD card as a ReadyBoost drive.
Another thing you will find is that the screen does not auto rotate, and you will have to use the Millenium application to to this. The g-sensor is correctly registered in device manager and it is set to rotate in the screen controls. I presume this is a Windows problem, so I will await further W8 releases with interest. I have also seen that when the screen is rotated into portrait mode Windows has problems fitting web pages to the screen correctly.
Battery life is also good, and I have got almost 4 hours browsing with some life still left in it to run on standby overnight. Remember to turn down the screen brightness to about 50% to save power and turn off Bluetooth. It is just a shame that the wireless controller has no power options available which would have helped considerably.
But these are minor issues I feel, and the RM Slate does deliver an excellent tablet experience in the week I have been using it. In fact, I took it home this weekend and never once used my laptop to work on. It is quite clear that Microsoft have spent a lot of time and effort ensuring that they get this right, particularly in light of their other various efforts involving Windows XP and 7 on previous tablet devices. It simply was not good enough to allow you to use touch on a conventional Windows interface, and since Apple decided to show the world how it should be done they have had to take notice. And happily they have.
To summerise I shall finish with a list of pros and cons to make it easier for you to see the main points:
- The hardware is (currently) more than capable of running Windows 8 and the Mero interface.
- Many drivers are installed as part of the standard build, but you will have to add in the 'real' drivers later.
- The Metro interface works wonderfully and is very intuative and easy to use.
- IE 10 for Metro. Finally, a version of IE I can use!
- Current Windows software can be installed and used painlessly.
- The onscreen keyboard is a huge improvement over the Vista/W7 version.
- A good battery life of up to 5 hours.
- The ability to repair Windows system files or reset the device to factory defaults from within the operating system.
- Some Metro apps are not fully finished and some do not work at all due to hardware limitations.
- The screen does not auto-rotate. You have to do this manually via the Millenium application.
- Only Metro apps will alert you to changes and notifications. Messenger and Skype run in the classic desktop and as such you cannot see if they have new messages for you unless you have the volume turned up.
- There is no ability to install or remove or otherwise manage Metro applications.
- The 32GB SSD drive may prove to be a bit small for some.
- Lack of Flash and other third party plugin support for Metro IE 10. It renders a lot of web pages ugly without it.
In short, if you have currently manage RM Slates, or are considering purchasing Windows 8 to run on a tablet platform then I can assure you that things are looking good. So far. Hopefully Microsoft will add to this current base OS model without affecting the performance at all, and if this is the case it will be interesting to see how the price of the RM Slate holds up against tablets released with it on next year. It could make W8 tablets even cheaper to implement in schools as long as RM's priceing remains constant.

ATLANTA — The record-setting heat blazed down on Turner Field and Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg on Saturday afternoon. He had done everything he could to prepare, lugging a bag full of water to his hotel room the night before. He sneaked back into the air-conditioned clubhouse between innings. It couldn't prevent the hottest game in Nationals history from taking its toll on one of the game's best pitchers.
On the mound, Strasburg was dizzy. He breathed heavily. His speech wasn't right. After he batted in the top of the fourth inning, he returned to the dugout, his face pale. Once Manager Davey Johnson saw that, he pulled Strasburg, who was suffering from dehydration, after three uncomfortable innings in a 7-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

Complete release notes here.
Previous Version:
Unity 4.0 is our biggest release to date. It brings you all new powerful features never before seen in Unity, such as:
- Mecanim, the new animation system to animate any character or object
- Real-time shadows for all platforms
- DirectX 11 rendering
- Shuriken particle system updated with world collision functionality
- Adobe Flash and Linux as two new platforms
- Cross-platform dynamic fonts
- And of course, many more new features and updates. Keep reading to learn more.
New Animation System
- Once imported as muscle clips, animations can be used with all humanoid characters with no additional conversions needed.
- Use the same animations on different proportion characters with no overhead or need for storing multiple versions of the clip.
- Map the bones of your model to human muscles with a single click, or fine tune the setup for full control.
- Slice up your authored or motion-captured animations directly inside Unity with the industry's best tool for the job.
- Preview the animation as your drag the ranges of a clip.
- Indicators for pose looping quality and motion looping quality lets you easily pick the range with optimal looping.
- Differences between start and end pose is smoothed out by the importer to ensure perfect looping.
- Support for arbitrary animations:
- Support for Generic Skeletons.
- Support for human avatars with additionals bones (hybrids).
- Preview of generic or hybrid skeleton in Animation Clip, Blend Tree and Transition inspector.
- Multiple IK layer solving (changes to OnAvatarIK() API).
- Supports Culling (Animator.cullingMode = AnimatorCullingMode).
DirectX 11 Rendering
- On Windows Vista and later, and with DX10 or better level GPU, you can use DirectX 11 now.
- New features:
- Geometry shaders (require DX10 GPU) and hull/domain shaders (require DX11 GPU). #pragma geometry, hull, domain in shader files.
- Compute shaders (*.compute files, ComputeShader in scripts).
- ComputeBuffer scripting API ("structured buffers" in DX11 lingo). Can use them in compute shaders and regular shader model 5.0 shaders (Material.SetBuffer, Shader.SetGlobalBuffer).
- Render textures with "random write" access ("UAVs" in DX11 lingo). Graphics.SetRandomWriteTarget, RenderTexture.enableRandomWrite.
- Graphics.DrawProcedural & DrawProceduralIndirect.
- DX11-specific RenderTexture formats: RenderTextureFormat.R8, ARGBInt, RGInt, RInt.
- 3D RenderTextures (RenderTexture.isVolume, volumeDepth). Fill them as "random write" textures from a compute or pixel shader.
- In shaders, can optionally use CBUFFERSTART(name) .. CBUFFEREND macros to markup separate constant buffers.
- Usage and documentation:
- Player Settings has "Use DX11" option; when it it set the editor and player will try using DX11. Editor will have in the title bar when it is in DX11 mode.
- See Using DirectX 11 page in the documentation.
- New image effects take advantage of DX11: Depth of Field, Camera Motion Blur, Noise.
- Tessellation Shaders standard package has several shaders that use DX11 tessellation.
Linux Publishing
- Export a standalone player for 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86_64) Linux.
- Select "Linux" from the Target Platform list in the Build Settings.
- After building a Linux player on Windows, you will first need to make the binary executable on Linux before being able to run it. Do this by running 'chmod +x' on the executable or right clicking and selecting "Allow to run as application".
- Supported Platforms
- Standalone players will run on most modern Linux systems with vendor-supplied graphics drivers.
- Official support will be provided for 32 or 64-bit Ubuntu Linux, version 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) or newer, with graphics cards using vendor-supplied drivers.
Graphics Features
- Terrain: Normal map & custom shader support for Terrain. Added built-in shader Nature/Terrain/Bumped Specular; added "normal map" texture slot to terrain splat maps; added Material field under terrain settings.
- 3D (volume) textures support. Currently no way to import them, but you can create them from script (Texture3D) and use them in shaders (sampler3D and tex3D). Also SystemInfo.supports3DTextures.
- Shadows on mobile devices!
- Only directional lights, no shadow cascades, no soft shadows.
- Requires GLOESdepth_texture extension. Most notably, Tegra 2/3-based devices do not support it.
- On Android, requires Honeycomb of later OS.
- Fonts:
- Dynamic font rendering on all platforms (including mobiles) with identical results (via FreeType).
- Simple html-style text markup support to have multiple font sizes, styles and colors in a string in UnityGUI, GUIText & TextMesh.
- Image Effects updates:
- Depth of Field (Scatter), an improved version of existing Depth of Field 3.4 effect. Has a DX11 mode that splats bokeh sprites on the bright spots.
- Camera Motion Blur, does what it says: camera motion based motion blur. Has DX11-optimized mode for better quality.
- Noise and Grain does a fancier film noise simulation (also has a DX11-optimized mode).
- Bloom, an improved version of Bloom and Lens Flares. New "High Quality" mode simulates aberration, glint, better treatment of high frequency parts.
- Color Correction LUT effect that uses a 3D texture to do arbitrary color correction.
- Edge Detection (Geometry) effect got ability to interact nicely with other depth-based effects (DOF, Motion Blur etc.) with new "Sobel Depth Thin" mode.
- Color Correction Curves now supports (de)saturation and has a fix for color key correction.
- Cubemaps:
- New Generate Cubemap texture import option that creates a cubemap from vertical/horizontal cross or row/column of images.
- Seamless cubemap option that makes sure edges of faces match up. Also runtime scripting API, Cubemap.SmoothEdges.
- Cubemap assets reference their original textures in the editor instead of copying their pixels at assign time.
- Lightmapping: "Bake selected" no longer destroys lightmaps on objects that aren't selected. Instead it updates lightmaps on selected objects, as expected.
- Lightmapping: Normalmaps are taken into account when lightmapping, which allows to add detail to lightmaps and makes the transition between near and far distance in Dual Lightmaps mode less visible.
- Lightmapping: FIxed issue with generated lightmap uvs being different across mac/win on some occasions.
- Render Textures: added RenderTextureFormat.ARGBFloat, RGFloat, RGHalf, RFloat, RHalf formats.
- Meshes can have a non-triangle topology now. You can create meshes that are lines, points or quads from scripts. See MeshTopology enum, Mesh.GetIndices, SetIndices, GetTopology.
- Added SkinnedMeshRenderer.BakeMesh to "bake" skinned mesh result into a regular mesh. You can use this to implement semi-instanced crowd rendering schemes.
- Graphics: Added resizable window support for standalone builds; see Resizable Window option in player settings.
- LOD: Add an API that allows for the construction / configuration of LODs at runtime. You can now add a LODGroup and configure it without using the UI.
- Shuriken particle system:
- World collision support - world collisions can be high/medium/low quality. High quality raycasts all particles and is expensive. Medium/low quality traces some of the particles, while the rest reuses older collisions. While this is approximate, in many cases where there are a lot of particles it will look fine and perform very well. The ray casting budget is set in quality settings.
- Automatic simulation culling support. Particle systems will only update when visible. When it is not possible to support this automatically, Shuriken shows why directly inside the UI.
- External forces support - use Wind Zones with particles.
- Bent normals support for sprites.
- Support for sorting and rendering with immediate children (solving sorting issues for combined systems).
- Shaders:
- Added built-in matrix variables, UNITYMATRIXV (view matrix), UNITYMATRIXVP (view*projection).
- Added float4 unity_DeltaTime, contains (dt, 1/dt, smoothdt, 1/smoothdt).
- Shader helper macros added:
- UNITYDECLARESHADOWMAP(tex), UNITYSAMPLESHADOW(tex,uv), UNITYSAMPLESHADOW_PROJ(tex,uv).
- UNITYNEARCLIP_VALUE, defined to 0.0 on D3D-like, -1.0 on GL-like platforms.
- UNITYCOMPILERHLSL (d3d11, 360), UNITYCOMPILERHLSL2GLSL (gles), UNITYCOMPILERCG if you need to determine which shader compiler is used on a platform.
- UNITYINITIALIZEOUTPUT(type,name) to help with DX11 shader compiler requiring full initialization of "out" parameters.
- OpenGL ES 2.0: Supports depth textures on Android.
- Scripting API: added Texture.SetGlobalAnisotropicFilteringLimits.

Starting a new life in the city can be difficult, but here are a few tips every New Yorker should abide by in order to, oh, say, avoid spiraling into the pit of a demented, hellish existence: 1) When your landlord tells you your apartment is cursed, don't shrug it off; 2) When your elderly Satanist neighbors bake you tasty treats, don't eat them; and 3) When you eventually give birth to the Antichrist, pending you ignored the first two stipulations, it might be best to just cut your losses and move on. Learn all this and more from Roman Polanski's first American film, the iconic Rosemary's Baby, showing tonight at the HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival. The terrifying classic doesn't screen until after dark, but at least when that unmistakable lullaby begins to play, you'll be surrounded by hundreds of people just as freaked out as you are.

70 mph to Canada: Press the gas
Statistically, it turns out that the sensation is justified. On highways, most people will travel the speed that feels most safe and comfortable, regardless of the posted speed limit. If the posted limit is significantly lower than the average speed, then the limit itself actually decreases public safety by creating a dangerous differential in speed. Those differentials can be more dangerous than speed itself, depending on the highway.
Interstate 93 above Concord is one of those highways on which the 65 mph speed limit does not make people safer. Today the House considers House Bill 146, which would raise the speed limit on I-93 to 70 mph from Canterbury to Canada (except for the stretch through Franconia Notch, which would remain the same).
This bill will not decrease public safety (most people drive faster than 65 mph anyway), and it might just increase tourism. Passing it will reduce dangerous passings on the highway. Legislators should do it.

Well, I got a little girl down by the river
Now she keeps ??? tight
I got a little girl, she every night
She says "I'm feeling like a wild, hands on ???
then she keeps me all night.
So come on, down by the river
come on, come on now.
Just come on, down by the river
It's alright.
Well baby, let me protect you little darling
If you let me ???
I know, if you'll just let me in.
Well, every day just brings in the same
but every night...???
Yes, come on, down by the river
oh, come on, girl, it's alright.
Well, come on, down by the river
Hold tight.

4 arrested in beating death of Red Bank man
Justreading - there was NO conviction and the incident you are referring to was 9 years ago. You need to have your facts straight and even if you had them correct, why do you feel the need to post something like this? There are a lot of people hurting over this and the impact will be felt for years. And most who are directly affected will never truly get over it. You obviously are not one of those. You should be ashamed to post something like you posted and if you have an ounce of compassion for your fellow man you will remove it.
Red Bank police investigating body found after robbery
Mr. Pantazi,
Why did you print that I said the victim's name was Jordan Collins? I did not tell you the victim's name. I told you the family had no comment and respectfully requested to be left alone. This is another example of the media printing whatever they want just so they can have a story.

Google cleans up user interface on Gmail Offline, mobile web app
Summary: Google finally brings the mobile web app version of Gmail closer in line with the cleaner Android and iOS apps.
It's a big day for Gmail as Google is in the midst of refreshing both the mobile web app and offline editions today.
For the mobile web app, the clear idea is to bring the HTML5 version closer in line with the much cleaner, streamlined Android version as well as the recently rebooted apps for iPhone and iPad.
Furthermore, mobile web users on these devices (or perhaps accessing from other mobile browsers on the Kindle Fire along with BlackBerry handhelds) should be able to look forward to improved integration with Google Calendar.
According to the official Gmail page on Google Plus, these user interface updates are also being delivered to Gmail Offline.
Users should be able to see these changes soon -- if not immediately -- as many Gmail users have already commented on Google+ about the new look.

Puggo is slowly trying to take over the "Squirrel Boy" 'verse.I have a (unpublished) fan fiction that has this being used as a sub-plot. You see, the episode "I Only Have Eye for You" shows that this guy can hypnotise people, and the end of said episode has the moon being turned into a giant eye.note The truth is, his show isn't the hit it is, but instead it's just for him to control everyone. He hypnotised the network hosting his show so he can get on it, then uses it for world domination. If the show could last longer, then I would have said to just watch: the show might have had this plot twist in a season/series fanale.
The Hatedom doesn't really hate the show.They're just jealous that they can't talk to squirrels.

Citigroup, the fifth-biggest U.S. mortgage originator last year, is cutting about 1,000 jobs in its home-lending business, including about 100 in Irving.Most workers affected by the layoffs will be reassigned to other work at the site, said Mark Rodgers, a Citigroup spokesman. While difficult, these actions reflect our ongoing efforts to increase operational efficiency, adapt to changes in the marketplace and position the business for the future.The Irving jobs being cut are in mortgage fulfillment, while other workers handle sales, underwriting and defaults, the New York-based company said Monday in an e-mailed statement. Las Vegas will be hit hardest with 750 positions lost, and another 150 positions will be affected across the country, mostly work-from-home jobs. Rodgers said Irving employees who are not reassigned will work until Nov. 22, after which they will be paid for two months. They then will receive severance based on years of service and be offered job transition benefits, he said.After the layoff, Citigroup will have about 5,700 workers at its Irving facility, including some in mortgage operations but primarily in credit card and other functions, Rodgers said.Citigroup is the Regent Commons office complex at Interstate 635 and Belt Line Road. In 2006, Citigroup built 620,000 square feet of office space in three buildings on the 52-acre site. It received a 15-year, 60 percent tax abatement from the city of Irving.Citigroup sold the campus in 2012. Most of the space is leased to State Farm Insurance, according to reports.Citigroup joins Wells Fargo and Bank of America in trimming home-lending staff after refinancing fell more than 70 percent since September 2012. It announced the closing of a Danville, Ill., facility in July, leading to 120 job cuts, and fired some telephone sales agents, the company said earlier this month.Separately, it is hiring employees to originate new mortgages for home purchases as opposed to refinancing, a source told Bloomberg News.Bank of America is eliminating 2,100 jobs and closing 16 offices by Oct. 31, two people with direct knowledge of the plan said this month. Wells Fargo said in August that it will cut 2,300 jobs in mortgage production. The share of applicants seeking to refinance declined to 57 percent in the week ending Sept. 6, the lowest since April 2010, before rebounding to 60.9 percent the next week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Citigroup made $65 billion in mortgages last year, or about 3.4 percent of the total market, according to Inside Mortgage Finance, a trade publication. Staff writer Sandra Baker contributed to this report, which includes material from Bloomberg News.

As part of Fernbank Museum's education department, I had the great pleasure of celebrating Earth Day Fernbank style! Our Earth Day celebration featured guided explorations in Fernbank Forest and restoration in the Museum's backyard.
Our environmental educators shared passions and knowledge of Fernbank Forest's unique character and ecology with visitors. Fernbank Forest is 65 acres of old-growth forest, featuring trees as much as 300 years old, a rich diversity of flora and fauna and a relaxing experience for all. During our forest explorations, guests learned about wildflowers, animals, tracks, the watershed and trees of Fernbank Forest at a variety of educational stations.
At the pond station, guests saw mosquitofish up-close, looked at water samples for clarity and learned about the local watershed.
Guests investigated trees at another station. Actual tree slices showing growth rings helped us learn more about trees. Visitors identified the surrounding trees, with the help of leaf identification cards and quizzed their friends.
At our station near the stream, visitors saw salamanders that live in the Forest, as well as salamanders native to Georgia. We learned about indicator species and their importance to the ecosystem.
At the end of the day, we enjoyed the outdoors and had many opportunities to see exciting things in Fernbank Forest. We spotted Yellow trillium and Nodding trillium along the trail, enjoyed the lush green foliage of our native hardwood trees and saw a few local creatures along the way.
We wrapped up the weekend with a restoration project in the woodland behind the Museum. Twenty five community volunteers joined Ferbank's team to remove non-native invasive plant species, and then transplanted native wildflowers that had emerged in the middle of a trail to a safer location. We experienced some excitement with the discovery of a large female garter snake! All enjoyed the work and made a huge impact on the health of our woodland. A big shout out to Stacey, Robert, Pamela, Rocio, Isabel, Tim and the Georgia State Football team! Without your help, we would not be able to make such strides in our forest restoration efforts.
Celebrate Earth Day with us next year or become a restoration volunteer and make your own impact for Mother Earth. Public programs, including monthly activities in Fernbank Forest, can be viewed on our calendar of events. Lynn Anders, Education Program Manager—Animal Programs
We are pleased to honor Olivia Wells as our April Volunteer of the Month.
Olivia is a recent addition to our volunteer team who spends most of her volunteer hours at the A Walk Through Time in Georgia entrance desk. As a Geology Major at State University of New York at Oswego, Olivia shares her knowledge and passion of geology with visitors Fernbank Museum visitors. When she is not volunteering she spends her time reading, sewing and hiking.
If you are interested in giving your time to the Museum, please contact us at email@example.com or 404.929.6360.
We are pleased to honor Earl Johnson as our March Volunteer of the Month.
Earl Johnson is a records manager for a company called Colonial Pipeline, and he paints, draws and sculpts in his spare time. He has been part of the Polaris volunteer guild at Fernbank Museum since 2011.
His favorite part of being at Fernbank is seeing kids' expressions and the way their faces light up when they first see the Giganotosaurus in the Great Hall. He also enjoys meeting international visitors.
Earl said, "I travel a lot with business and always check to see if different cities have natural history museums; I've been to museums in many cities and this one is by far the best." If you are interested in giving your time to the Museum, please contact us at email@example.com or 404.929.6360.
On Saturday, February 2, 2013, Fernbank Museum hosted a "VIK" – a very important kid, Kenny Stewart. Kenny, age 12, visited the Museum along with his mom, Anna, and brother, Alex, age 7, as part of the Make A Wish Foundation. Everyone was excited to welcome Kenny to Fernbank. In fact, Kenny's visit began with a special welcome card delivered by the Museum's mascot, Giggy A. Dinosaur.
Next, Kenny and his family began touring the Museum, starting with A Walk Through Time in Georgia and then to Fernbank NatureQuest. Our "VIK" also was given a behind-the-scenes tour of Fernbank's live animal collection and a private animal encounter with educator Charlee G.
Following the animal encounter, education VP Christine B. gave the group a tour of collections – an area of the Museum that houses a number of artifacts which belong to the Museum, but aren't on display to the public.
Kenny's visit concluded with a trip to Alaska through the powerful imagery of Fernbank's IMAX® Theatre.
We really enjoyed getting to meet Kenny and his family. It was not only a great day for Kenny, but also for everyone at Fernbank. We were delighted to share the Museum with them in honor of Kenny's Wish Day. Thank you, Kenny, for making Fernbank Museum part of your Make A Wish-Georgia experience!
—Deanna Smith, Director of Marketing
Fernbank Museum is grateful for the support of its 250 strong Polaris volunteer guild. Please join us as we highlight one of those special volunteers each month! Beginning this month is Jack Bates.
We are pleased to honor Jack Bates as our February Volunteer of the Month.

He formerly taught psychology at the University of South Carolina and at Perimeter College, and since retiring spends most of his spare time volunteering. He has been volunteering at Fernbank Museum since 2009. His favorite thing about being at Fernbank is seeing and chatting with people, especially the young people. Jack also volunteers at AID Atlanta, Jerusalem House, is a Stephen Minister, teaches Sunday school and works with Hospice. He says, "volunteering keeps me going and keeps me busy."

I have developed a full and final settlement letter, which acts as a certificate as well as a computation slip (payslip for the last month of working). We are currently using this format. I have just added some possible salary heads. This would, ofcourse, vary from firm to firm.
See if this takes care of what you are looking for. I guess, using this slip alongwith a letter stating the details of cheque enclosed or demanding the amount to be recovered would be sufficient

This is a recipe from Bon Appetit, October 1998, one that is so delicious that it needs no tweaking...the combination of these simple ingredients creates perfect kitchen alchemy. Decadent in the extreme, save it for those special occasions when you really want to WOW. One of the many reviews on that site used two capfuls of pure vanilla extract instead of the vanilla bean, but since I used a vanilla bean I can not vouch for this substitution.
