Pacquiao-Marquez - Betting Advice.
Yo peeps,
I am strongly thinking about placing a considerable bet of like $500 for this fight. Currently Marquez by decision is at 4.4. So if i win, i would get $2200.
My thinking:
Team Pac has basically stated they don't think they will win by decision if its close, I think this could have some truth. If it is like the 3rd fight I am thinking Marquez will get the decision. I don't think Pac can finish Marquez, so a decision seems most likely. I also think it's possible that Marquez beats Pac even more convincingly than the 3rd fight, he looks really strong, and sharp, Pac not so much.
My hesitations:
If Mayweather is planning to fight Pac next year, I don't see how they can let Pac lose to Marquez, especially after his "loss" to Bradley. So maybe another close decision will go to Pac.
What do you guys think, I am open to all advice.

For the matter at hand it is a pretty good bet if JMM is to win it probably will be a decision, if you can afford to lose $500 it is a reasonable risk worth taking. I personally am not laying money at the book because just to much can go wrong and I don't feel like playing a 50/50 hunch (although 50/50 is pretty good for 4 to 1), but I will make some bets at the party I attend. Good luck

Your concerns are valid. A Pacquiao win looks more valuable to Arum at this point in time, given the contract extension.
Despite that, I still think Marquez looks like good value at current prices.

4:1 are damn good odds considering these 2 are basically even after 36 rounds. A general rule of thumb I use is never bet big on the dog. If you're getting good odds why risk extra cash. But if you feel strongly about it go for it. I'm thinking on dropping $20 on Molina over Khan. Those are 8:1 odds!

I personally wouldnt bet anything big on this fight. Wayyyyyyyyy too many factors. Will the judges side with Marquez in a close one knowing everyone has complained for YEARS about them being corrupt in giving the fights to Manny? Will they give the nod to Pac in continued hopes of not ruining the never gonna happen superfight with Mayweather (see "bought by uncle bob")? What about age? Both guys are at the point where injury and age could catch up with them in this fight in a bad way. Im staying the hell away from betting on this one. That said, if I were forced to bet, I would take Marquez straight up to win. That is what I think is the most likely outcome if the judging were fair.

Arum is talking about Bradley vs Marquez for may 4th & Pacquaio vs Rios for April 20th.
I really have no idea, I'll probably put a small amount on the draw and Marquez win and hope for the best. Certainly not a fight I'd be comfortable with betting big on.

Agricultural growth in Asia-Pacific has stagnated in recent years, with a serious decline in agricultural investment, and depletion and degradation of natural resources in the face of continued population growth.
The benefits of the green revolution have now been fully realized and there are no revolutionary technologies on the horizon that can rapidly and sustainably reinvigorate agriculture.
Outward migration, especially of the young generation, has led to the "greying" and feminization of the sector; the coping mechanisms of poor households are few, given their limited assets and the fact that a deep recession occurred so soon after the food crisis.
Climate change will impact agriculture in many ways, particularly in areas vulnerable to natural disaster.
The opening of markets improved the mobility of people, goods and services and created employment opportunities for the labour-rich Asia-Pacific economies. At the same time the growing links within the region and with the rest of the world ushered in risks of transboundary plant pests and animal diseases.
Likewise, the integration of markets also transmitted negative externalities across national boundaries with relative ease and notable speed, as observed in recent episodes such as the 1997 Asian economic crisis, the 2007–08 soaring food prices, the 2008-09 global financial crisis and a number of fallouts from food safety breaches.

Merrimack County Visitation Center
309 Daniel Webster Highway
Boscawen, NH 03303
(603) 796-3277
(603) 796-3275 (Fax)
Mission Statement:
To provide a safe, secure, and structured alternative for the exchange and/or visitation of children between the custodial and noncustodial parents in a neutral environment that promotes healthy interaction between family members and prevents the victimization of any person.
What is the Merrimack County Visitation Center?
The Merrimack County Visitation Center (MCVC) was developed to create a safe visitation/exchange alternative for families who have experienced domestic violence. The MCVC has a zero-tolerance approach toward all forms of violence and has strict policies to ensure safety of all participants and staff.
What types of services does the MCVC provide?
The MCVC provides three different types of visitation services:
- Fully supervised visitation services occur on site with a Visitation Supervisor present during the entire parent/child contact. These visits are most appropriate when there are concerns about the custodial parent's safety and/or concerns about the child's safety.
- Semi-supervised visitation services occur on site with a Visitation Supervisor present for only part of the parent/child contact. The Visitation Supervisor observes the visit every 10 to 15 minutes. These visits are most appropriate when there are concerns of abduction, substance abuse, or exposure to inappropriate activities or people.
- Exchange services occur with a Visitation Supervisor facilitating the transfer of children from one parent to the other parent. Exchanges are most appropriate when there are concerns of the custodial parent's safety, or substance abuse.
The MCVC does not determine what type of service is appropriate for families or make recommendations regarding custody and/or visitation. The parties must agree on what type of service is to be provided if it is not determined by the referring agent.
The MCVC structures its services so that parents do not have contact with each other. This is done by having separate entrances and waiting rooms as well as staggered arrival and departure times. Security personnel are present during all visitation services at all of our locations throughout the county.
Where is the MCVC located?
The MCVC's main facility is located in Boscawen, and a satellite location is available in Franklin. A handicap accessible location is available to those in need.
Prior to any services being provided, all clients must contact the Boscawen site in order to schedule an orientation with MCVC staff.
Other Visitation Centers are available throughout the state. For more information about these Centers, please visit the New Hampshire Family Visitation & Access Cooperative's website at http://www.nhvisitationcoop.org.
What are the hours of operation?
Orientation times are available at the MCVC Tuesday through Friday by appointment only. The MCVC is open for visitation services at the following locations and times:
This facility conducts visits on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of each week. Please call for times and availability.
This facility is currently only operating on Sundays. Please call for times and availability
*All visit and exchange times are subject to availability. Services may only be scheduled once both parties have completed their required orientations.
What are the fees for services?
Fully supervised visits $20 per hour
Semi-supervised visits $10 per hour
Exchanges $5 per exchange
The MCVC does not determine who will be responsible for visitation service fees. The MCVC also does not determine the type of service to be provided or financial responsibility. The parties must agree on who is financially responsible if the referring agent does not otherwise make the determination.
Both parties, regardless of financial responsibility, are required to make deposits prior to scheduling any visitation services. Deposit amounts differ in accordance with the type of service to be provided and which party (or both) is responsible for the regular fees. The deposit amount is determined when a client contacts the MCVC to schedule their orientation. Deposits must be paid by money order only. Visitation service fees can be paid by in-state check or money order. Cash is never accepted.
Training and Standards
The MCVC is a member of the Supervised Visitation Network (SVN), which is the national organization for supervised visitation providers. SVN provides a prescribed list of required training topics that providers must adhere to as a part of the national standards for best practice. MCVC staff participate in monthly trainings in keeping with these required topics. For more information on training and standards, including the newly revised statewide standards, please visit: http://www.nhvisitationcoop.org.

In this lab study we study embodied attention, cognition, and emotion. We use the tools
of cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and functional neuroimaging (EEG/ERP) to
investigate the role that the body plays in directing our perception, attention, object
recognition, emotional processing, and financial decision making.
In addition to studying young adults, we also study special populations including autistic,
older, and disabled adults.
Contributions of Configural Processing & Expertise to Body Perception. Because humans are social animals, it is important that we be able to recognize others' identities, facial expressions, and body postures. It is only recently that psychologists have recognized the contributions of the body and its postures to basic visual processing. We determine the extent to which configural processing mechanisms are used to recognize body postures and how it is influenced by physical and visual expertise.
Contributions of Body Placement & Orientation to Spatial Attention. Important stimuli in our environment demand immediate attention and physical responses. Recently we have shown that one's own body position influences attention as well as the bodies and actions of others. Hand position can facilitate the detection of targets in visual space. Also, trunk orientation can bias the shifting of attention. We are currently conducting behavioral and EEG studies to determine the neural substrates of embodied attention processes.
Bodily Contributions to the Encoding and Decoding of Emotions.
'What', 'Where', and 'How' Systems in Somatosensory & Multimodal
Object Processing.
We investigate the functional organization of object
recognition, spatial localization, and action planning in the
brain. Specifically we want to understand and document dedicated
neural pathways in the somatosensory system for tactile object
recognition and spatial perception. Analogous pathways in the
visual system have been called "what" and "where" pathways. We also
examine how information about objects gleaned from touch and vision is integrated in the brain and whether this information integration
changes with aging. We use functional neuroimaging techniques (fMRI
and MEG) as well as behavioral techniques to study these issues.

From theme funerals to theme weddings, from customized charm bracelets to design-it-yourself shoes, consumers are seeking services and products with a personal touch. In fact, 85 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds wish more products and services were customized, according to a July study from American Demographics and Harris Interactive.
"We're becoming a society of experience junkies," says Joyce Gioia, a business futurist with the Herman Group, a consulting firm in Greensboro, North Carolina. "If we can have it our way, it's a better experience for us." Gioia sees a future complete with "experience designers," who will custom-tailor products to customers.
The Net is tailor-made for personalization. General Mills' Mycereal.com lets users create their own cereals, and Mcycles.com's software helps people design their own motorcycles. But you don't need the Internet; you just have to think creatively. Restaurants like Boston's Fire+Ice and New York City's Craft are eschewing menus and letting customers create their own meals. So let your mind wander, and get personal.
Ethnic foods
Only a few years ago, Thai and Korean dishes were mysterious to most Americans. Today, they're mainstream. In fact, according to the National Restaurant Association, Caribbean and Middle Eastern dishes are now more popular than more traditional alternative cuisine, like French and soul food. Welcome to the age of the ethnic eater, where anything exotic gets some space on the plate.
So what will pique consumers' palates in 2002? Apparently, anything that goes beyond your run-of-the-mill ethnic dish. "[Americans] want to take it to the next level," says Stoneybrook, New York, food writer Ramin Ganeshram.
That means targeting regions within regions and creating new fusion dishes. Argentinian, Cambodian, Chilean, Cuban-Chinese and Malaysian: All of these types of cuisines will grow in popularity. Another business opportunity: ethnic groceries specializing in ingredients from all over the world, all offered in one convenient place. It's a market yet to be cornered.
Pop quiz: What do you get when you combine the words "boomtown" and "suburb"? The answer is "boomburb," an outlying area that's big and growing fast, with consistent double-digit population increases over the past few decades. A boomburb is home to between 100,000 and 400,000 residents yet still feels distinctly suburban. According to a June Fannie Mae Foundation study, there are at least 53 boomburbs, and the list is expanding, particularly in the West.
These places are booming with opportunities, says Robert E. Lang, director of urban and metropolitan research for the Fannie Mae Foundation in Washington, DC, and co-author of the study. Interior decorating, landscaping, building suppliers, baby products stores, day care-anything to do with servicing or constructing new households is hot. The outlying subdivisions of these boomburbs still need the basics, Lang says, making franchises or locally owned fast-food joints a big deal. Lang says many of the commercial strips near these residences haven't filled out yet, so they'll make great places to set up shop.

My hubby has always wanted to get another bike, so, finally he convinced me and poof we had a bike! Little did I know, it started a riding bug in me! And let me tell you, it took forever for me to "let" him have a bike of his own (you know, they're dangerous right?!? Other drivers can kill him…or maybe he'll do something stupid!). Now after seeing him ride it, and being on the back, I signed myself up for a riding class and we have another ninja on the way. This is all really crazy to me! But I'm really excited. I hope it's as good as I imagine it to be!
Thanks! I'm looking forward to going riding with my hubby just like you do. It's nice to have something else in common.

UPDATE – Montana Governor Vetoes State Anti-Gun Control Bill
UPDATE- Friday, March 29, 2013 This report Filed by the Associated Press
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Gov. Steve Bullock has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited local and state police from enforcing any potential federal gun bans.
House Bill 302 was backed by gun advocates who argued the state should be ready in case Congress enacts a gun ban. They say the measure would also send a strong signal that Montana opposes gun bans.
Bullock said in his Thursday veto message that it does not appear that Congress will ban assault weapons. Bullock called the Legislature's bill "unnecessary political theater."
He added that if House Bill 302 were used as intended, it would turn police into criminals for not cooperating with federal officers, as they are required to do.
Bullock also vetoed a bill that would allow wolf hunters to use silencers on their rifles
HB 302 was passed by both houses of the legislature on Tuesday, March 26, and sent to Governor Steve Bullock's desk for his signature.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
William Eckhardt Kohler reviews the exhibition Matt Bollinger: Bed on the Floor at Zürcher Studio, New York, on view through April 28, 2013.
Kohler writes that the works in the show (which include an installation and collage works) address "the theme of despair and loss... a slow moving katabasis; the dystopic descent of bottoming out, depression and loss of social standing. Robert Bly, in his book Iron John, calls this the 'Road of Ashes.' In mythology katabasis refers to the heroic descent into the Underworld. [Bollinger's] images however are firmly placed within familiar this-worldy narratives and contexts of cheap beer, homelessness chain link fences and empty lots full of rubbish."
William Eckhardt Kohler blogs about the "weekend" exhibition Mark, Wipe, Scrape, Shape at Spaceshifter - the studio of painter Sangram Majumdar.
Kohler features "11 painters, Michael Berryhill, Gideon Bok, Matt Bollinger, Katherine Bradford, Tom Burckhardt, Jackie Gendel, Amy Mahnick, Majumdar, Kyle Staver, Didier Williams and Karla Wozniak, work in a variety of idioms; perceptual, abstract, poetical, narrative and conceptual... The dominant tone of these artists' orientation is that of idiosyncratic visionaries, rolling up their sleeves and forging a personal understanding of what painting can do. What is demonstrated here is that the newness is in what each artist brings to the table as each their own brilliant self; original rather than ideological or radical."

Safaris are extremely informal vacations and the main goal is to pack lightly and smartly. Most lodges and camps will launder your clothes for free or a small fee ($2 - $3 per item) within 24-hours. Loose fitting, casual and comfortable clothing is recommended, as you will be spending the majority of your safari wildlife viewing in a vehicle. Be prepared for daily highs ranging from the mid 70's to the mid 80's and lows in the 50's and 60's except during the cold season (June, July and August) when the lows can drop down into the 40's. The rim of the Ngorongoro Crater can get significantly colder during the night and early mornings due to the high elevation (7,500 – 8,000 feet).
There is little or no opportunity for fashion while on safari though you may wish to bring a nice outfit for a special dinner. All the lodges allow casual clothing and traditional safari wear while dining. There is a large temperature range each day and it is recommended to wear layers enabling you to adjust to the varying temperatures. It can be quite cold on early morning game drives and long pants and a warm sweater are needed. In contrast, shorts and t-shirts can be worn on afternoon game drives as it can get hot during midday especially with the strong equatorial sun shining down in a convertible vehicle. It is important that you wear a wide brimmed hat and apply sun block frequently to all exposed areas.
Dark colors do tend to attract unwanted attention from certain insects. The tsetse fly (active only during the day) is attracted to dark colors (primarily dark blue) so these should be avoided when game driving tsetse areas including the woodlands of the West Serengeti, Tarangire and a few parts of the North Serengeti. The plains of the south and east Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and the southern areas of the Central Serengeti are tsetse fly free. It is recommended to wear long pants and shirts when game driving an area known for concentrations of tsetse flies. Lighter and more natural colors such as khaki, brown, beige, olive and green should be worn during the day. During the nights, the color of your clothing is irrelevant. From dusk to dawn, it is recommended that you protect yourself from mosquitoes by wearing pants, long sleeved shirts, socks and shoes plus insect repellant.
Please see below for a recommended African safari packing list:
Safari Clothing
- One pair of comfortable walking shoes (i.e. sneakers, cross training or light hiking shoes)
- One pair of sandals or flip-flops
- Casual, comfortable and loose fitting clothing in khaki, brown, beige, green and olive colors made of natural fabrics such as cotton
- T-shirts and light tops
- Long-sleeved shirts/blouses
- Shorts
- Light long pants or convertible long-short pants
- One warm fleece or sweater
- One Swimsuit
- Cotton socks and underwear
- Pajamas
- Hat and bandana
- Heavy sweater, warm gloves, knit hat and scarf for the cold season (June – August)
- Optional: lightweight jacket or windbreaker
Other Items
- Passport, plane tickets, safari itinerary and emergency contact document
- U.S. dollars in large and small denominations and credit cards
- Small flashlight
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen and lip balm
- Insect repellant
- Contact lens solution, spare glasses and extra contact lenses,if applicable
- Waterless anti-bacterial gel, hand wipes and Kleenex
- Binoculars
- Camera, plenty of film, extra batteries and charger, if applicable
- UK plug adapter and transformer/voltage converter, if applicable
- Small battery operated alarm clock or watch
- Playing cards, small games and reading material (see safari reading list)
- Journal or notebook for recording daily observations and pens
- Snacks – nutrition bars, nuts, candy, etc.
- Zip lock bags for toiletries, camera equipment, snacks, etc. and small trash bags
- Personal toiletries (all rooms at each lodge/camp have soap though some may not have shampoo)
Small medical kit including aspirin, antimalarial pills, cold and allergy medicine, cream for itches and rashes (i.e. Benadryl itch relief stick), band-aids, stomachache medicine (i.e. Pepto-Bismol), antibiotic ointment (i.e. Neosporin), multi-vitamins, diarrhea medicine (i.e. Imodium), prescription antibiotic effective against a broad range of bacteria including travelers diarrhea (i.e. Ciprofloxacin commonly known as Cipro) and any prescription medications.
Most internal Tanzania flights have a baggage restriction of 33 pounds per person not including camera equipment and shoulder bag within reason. Excess is charged at a modest additional fee if it can be accommodated on the flight. Flights in Uganda have even stricter weight requirements. Please refer to your separate Uganda guidelines, if applicable.
We recommend packing light as no formal clothes are needed and laundry services are available at most lodges and camps either free of charge or for a small fee ($2 - $3 per item). KLM and British Airways do occasionally lose or delay checked luggage. If your luggage is lost, it is likely that the airline will be able to deliver it to you while on safari within 72 hours. However, please be aware that there is a small risk that the airline will not be able to locate and deliver your luggage. It is recommended that your luggage consist of one carry-on 22-inch suitcase (normal carry-on size which fits in typical overhead bins) and one separate camera bag and/or shoulder bag per person. Alternatively, you may travel with all soft bag luggage.
Please read below an excerpt from KLM Airlines regarding carry-on luggage:
'When luggage is carried on-board the aircraft, it must be of a size and shape to allow for storage in aircraft overhead compartments, or underneath the seat in front of the passenger. Each person is allowed to carry on-board the aircraft one piece of luggage. This piece of luggage must not exceed 45 linear inches (9 inches by 14 inches by 22 inches) and also must not exceed 40 pounds. In addition to this one piece of carry-on luggage, customers may also carry on-board a purse or briefcase or laptop computer. In addition, each passenger may carry a coat, umbrella, or other "special" items.'
Please keep all critical items and valuables in your carry-on shoulder bag or on you including passport, tickets, wallet, medications, toiletries, camera, glasses, etc. Never pack any camera equipment or film in your check in luggage. If you do decide to check in your luggage, please partially protect yourself from the consequences of the airline loosing your luggage by packing critical items as described above and also a change of clothes in a carry-on bag.
Please note that you may leave extra suitcases at our office in Arusha upon arrival and we can redeliver to your after your safari. This is particularly useful for those individuals combining their safari with vacations in Europe or other destinations where the clothing requirements and climates are different (especially in the winter). We can securely store all non-safari related items at our office. Some guests prefer packing two different suitcases with one to take on the safari and a second one for Europe or other destinations.
Note: This is applicable for Zanzibar only. If you are traveling to Zanzibar, please ensure that you dress modestly when not at the beach or at the beach resorts. When away from the beach and beach resorts, women should not wear sleeveless tops and short skirts (pants or at least knee-length shorts are fine). Men should wear shirts, pants or knee-length shorts. During Ramadan, take particular care with dress and show respect by not eating or drinking in the street or other public places. Ramadan dates are different every year. 2007 dates are September 12, 2007 to October 11, 2007. 2008 dates are September 2, 2008 to October 1, 2008.

Here's what users would like to see in iOS 7
So, we asked you last week if there's something specific that you'd like to see in iOS 7. As you might expect, we got a lot of great ideas deserving to be heard... if not by Apple itself, then at least by our broad community. Of course, we can't publish them all here, because that would make for a long and tiresome article, so instead, we've tried to pick some of the best ones for you. Here they are in their full, uncut glory!
1) be able to transfer wahtever file I want from my pc or mac to my iphone without the being exposed to the pain of using itunes
2) and I would also want to be able to download whatever file I want through safari
3) have a file manager for my files on my iphone
Those 3 things are very basic stuff for me and I think we should've had those straight from ios 1 not on ios 7 - atsamman
Options for apps to "integrate" in the share menu as in Android, so I can easily tap on a pic to be shared via Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp or Instagram. - Crossblade
2. Full screen mode for safari browser.
3. Better multitasking interface.
That's it. - martinlosha
2. Wifi, Bluetooth toggles on notification
3. Support for multiple user profiles.
4. Mass storage mode
5. Redesigned UI
I couldn't care less about widgets tho! - JustLoggedIn

Wishfull thinking.
11. juandante (Posts: 392; Member since: 23 Apr 2013)
Yes it's a real joke from apple that users wanting "Themes" on their iSh*t should be wishfull thinking.
Nevertheless, iOS is C++ like, Android is Java so for me there is still a bit of interest in using iOS (when jailbreaked...) because it's not an App emulator.
23. ITEngineer (Posts: 54; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
You sir are wrong.
1) IOS uses Objective C.
2) The Android kernel is programmed in c,c++ and is a Linux based os. You can program apps for Android in most languages now: c++, c, and ruby just to name a few. Most choose java since google has pushed enough API'es and made it simple
24. MasterOfMobility (Posts: 1; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
Imagine his surprise
17. ITEngineer (Posts: 54; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
Yeah, they basically want an Android.
25. mafiaprinc3 (Posts: 357; Member since: 07 May 2012)
dam right it is, mass storage mode,keep dreaming, if it does come apple will say it is revolutionary, i dont hate on apple but they need to begin innovating again,right now they are far behind
2. stevetruman (Posts: 13; Member since: 27 Jul 2012)
atleast it should come with storage expansion..!!
3. goflet (Posts: 50; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
ios users, come to android. We have all that you want
13. SleepingOz (unregistered)
And more!
22. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
And FREEDOM!
18. WakaFlakaD (Posts: 371; Member since: 30 Apr 2011)
Doesn't make sense. If a consumer know what he/she wants, then they will jump to an Android in the first place, not to iOS. Most iOS users are happy with what they use. After people, they are not "stuck" with a phone. They have the freedom to choose and buy
4. Reverence (Posts: 224; Member since: 16 Jul 2012)
So in short they want ios7 with android
5. Tim.Cook (Posts: 1; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
Hope you are paying attention to these comments, John !
6. amiaq (Posts: 499; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
Apple users, you guys are soooo missing out all this long
7. FlushGordon (unregistered)
They want Android features? Lol
ya can't blame them because Apple sucks at listening to their customers
8. fuhrer (Posts: 16; Member since: 29 Apr 2013)
I would like to see Bluetooth file exchange, ext sd card, Widgets, usb OTG
12. FlushGordon (unregistered)
Usb otg and ext SD cards?
Lol you know damn well APPLE avoids them like the plague, no?
9. FlushGordon (unregistered)
Expect some over the top "revolutionary" exageration by the time the OS is announced.
10. fanboy1974 (Posts: 1291; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
And iOwners wonder why we love Android. It's not all about big screens.
14. E34V8 (Posts: 59; Member since: 16 Dec 2011)
Those are all great functions. I doubt that more than 1 or 2 will make it in to iOS 7, but they and many more are all available in Android. And from 4.1 above, the performance is great (on the Nexus devices for sure), so... why wait for Apple to do nothing?
15. Meleagru (Posts: 84; Member since: 03 Dec 2012)
Aren't those all features present in Android right now?
16. MC1123 (Posts: 1249; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
i think redesign UI would be good but i think file manager or mass storage wont and will never happen on an apple device coz agaun apple is preventing piracy... NFC is a, maybe, must right now but with apple closeness, share with co-idevice is the best solution.. so they could still lock there users..
dont get me wrrong people.. just an opinion!
19. jeff1434325 (Posts: 95; Member since: 07 Aug 2012)
iOS users...just choose Android, and all these heavenly features will be yours. lolz.
20. geekfreak (unregistered)
Missed on one thing, NFC requires a Hardware Chipset to Support. But if the OS could Support then the next possible iPhone should have Capabilities to support too.
21. vhammoudeh (Posts: 11; Member since: 03 Jun 2012)
Funny how everything mentioned has been on Android from the start...
26. lyndon420 (Posts: 1785; Member since: 11 Jul 2012)
I liked the one where he wants 'Google's services' tied more tightly into ios.
27. drnggaj33 (Posts: 127; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
all of these sound like andriod phones to me ijs ....get a nexus tablet 7" and sam note2 youll be fine and you can add more storage with a sd card for the note2 ijs
28. buccob (Posts: 1563; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
So bottomline.... the most wanted feature in iOS 7 is to boot Android... basically

Cock and Ball Sheath - Rimba
50 mm (2") in diameter the base ring holds this latex sheath in place. Rubber molded material is much thicker than a condom providing an incredibly tight fit when erect. Simply place some water based lube in the sheath and insert the big guy. Next, stretch the remaing bag cover over your landing gear and your ready to taxi!!
PLEASE NOTE: The picture shows the bag portion of this sheath larger than it actually is. Unless you really want to try to pack your gear into a small space, we do not recommend this item for medium to larger hung guys. The bag section will actually stretch to about the size of a golf ball, maybe really stretched a little larger.
If you want to combine wearing this with estim, there are many ways to make a good connection. Using a good conductive water based lube and a piece of flat conductive rubber or tubing inserted into the sheath works nice or wrap and secure
conductive tubing or flat rubber
around the shaft before inserting your shaft. These are only a couple of ways to approach connecting electrodes. We are sure that there are many other clever ways to accompolish this, it just takes a little playing around and placement. You could even use our
electrified stainless steel Tri-Ring set
with this product. The variations are left only to the imagination of the user.

Workers' compensation exists to protect the rights and health of injured workers – regardless of what caused a work-related accident. It also provides a system to protect employers and the court system from being overwhelmed by civil claims relating to on-the-job injuries. Unfortunately, employers, insurance carriers and the medical personnel they elect to work with can act against your best interests in the effort to protect their profits. You may find yourself being denied benefits you desperately need or being forced to return to work before you have fully recovered. Working with a Kansas City workers' compensation lawyer can help to protect you and guide you through the entire workers' comp process.
With over 35 years of combined experience, we are adept at addressing all facets of workers' compensation cases. Some of the areas with which we can offer assistance include:
Workers' Comp Claims
If you are running into any issues that are slowing down your access to medical treatment and monetary benefits, we can help. Many times, filing a formal claim with the Division of Workers' Compensation is a necessary step to force the insurance company to honor its obligations. We will use both our reputation for aggressive representation and our knowledge of the legal system to secure the benefits you are entitled to as quickly as possible. Remember, a threat is only as good as the attorney who makes it AND who can then back it up. Call us to find out more. Read more on workers' comp claims…
Rights of Injured Workers
Injured workers have certain rights under the law. For example, you are entitled to all medical treatment considered to be reasonable and necessary. You have the right to secure a second medical opinion if you disagree with what their doctor has to say about why you're injured and the treatment you may need. You cannot be forced to perform work that would violate restrictions provided by your treating physician, and you cannot be fired simply for exercising your workers' compensation rights. It is important to know your rights in order to avoid becoming a victim of unjust treatment. Learn more about the
rights of injured workers…
Workers' Compensation Laws
The workers' compensation laws in both Missouri and Kansas can be a bit complicated and overwhelming. Being represented by legal counsel ensures you will be able to take full advantage of those laws without the stress and uncertainty of going it alone. It also prevents you from making a mistake that would endanger your benefits. To protect your rights and your claim, contact us right away. There have been recent changes to workers' compensation laws in both Missouri and Kansas that can have a significant impact on your rights and your benefits. Click here to read more about workers' compensation laws…
Hearings and Appeals
When your case involves a hearing, it is vital that you are represented by aggressive and knowledgeable attorneys who can argue your case and present evidence on your behalf. Your attorneys can also assist you with an appeal if this becomes necessary. It is vital that each step is approached correctly in order to protect your rights. Workers' compensation is quite different from other areas of the law, and the right kind of experience is vital for successful hearings and appeals. Learn about hearings and appeals…
Compensation Denials
If your workers' comp claim was denied, don't give up hope. You should NEVER assume that what the insurance company tells you about your claim is correct. Let us take a closer and, likely, a more accurate look at the facts and applicable laws. We can take the appropriate action to correct any perceived deficiencies in your claim and, if necessary, seek an Order for benefits on your behalf. It is vital these matters are addressed correctly as early as possible with the help of an attorney. Click here for more on
compensation denials…
Workers' Comp Process
The workers' comp process at its simplest would consist of you advising your employer of your work related injury, your employer filing your workers' comp claim and you receiving a payment. Unfortunately, many employers are only concerned with their bottom line as opposed to
your needs. From the very beginning, complexities can occur and receiving a just payment can require having an attorney guide you through the entire process. To find out whether your employer and its insurance carrier are doing the right thing, please don't hesitate to give us a call. We will provide an honest assessment of whether representation will be of benefit to you and will advise you on the steps you should be taking now to protect your rights. Read about the
workers' comp process…
Workers' Comp Benefits
The benefits to which you may be entitled under workers' compensation include medical care and related mileage reimbursement. You should receive any treatment that is considered reasonable and necessary. This is definitely an area that is battled over quite often. As stated throughout our site, just remember that you do not need to simply accept the conclusions of their doctors on the treatment you may need.
Depending on the specifics of your case, you may also be eligible for Temporary Total Disability Benefits (TTD) or Temporary Partial Disability Benefits (TPD). These are monetary benefits paid while you are still in treatment and recovering from your injury if you have not yet been returned to work or to your regular rate of pay. Some restrictions do apply, and it is vital to protect this source of monetary support while recovering from your injury.
If your injuries are serious enough, then Permanent Total Disability Benefits (PTD) or Permanent Partial Disability Benefits (PPD) should be paid and should be paid at the right amount. These are monetary benefits paid for any long-term effects your work-related injury may cause. The insurance companies always try to minimize this compensation in the hope that you will simply accept what they are willing to offer. You are very likely entitled to more, and sometimes much more, than what the insurance company may offer to you on your own. Read more on

Workers' Comp Settlements
It is an established fact that injured workers do not often receive the full amount to which they entitled in a workers' comp settlement without the help of an attorney. Insurance companies will endeavor to pay as little as possible and will use all manner of tactics in this attempt. Even if you have already received a settlement offer, we can help. We will provide you with an honest assessment of whether formal representation will be of benefit to you and, with our Guarantee, you cannot receive less than what the insurance company may have already offered to you. You are truly in a no lose situation by calling us! Learn about

Third Party Liability
If your work related injury was caused in full or in part by the negligence, recklessness or maliciousness of another individual or an organization, you have the right to sue that person or company directly. For example, if defective equipment caused your injury, the manufacturer or seller can be held liable. Or, if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident while on the job, you would have BOTH a claim for workers' compensation benefits and a separate claim for personal injury damages. Read about
third party liability…
Insurance Responsibilities
Your employer is required by law to maintain workers' compensation to cover his or her employees. If they do not, but should have, there may still be ways to secure the benefits you are entitled to. There are also actions for which you and your employer are responsible throughout the claims process in order to protect your benefits, so it is vital you are aware of these. Learn about insurance responsibilities…
Work Related Accidents
You do not necessarily need to be injured at your usual place of work in order to be covered by workers' compensation. If you are injured while performing your work duties, for example while driving to an off-site meeting, you may still make a claim. Also, some work related "accidents" occur over a lengthy period of time due to repetitive trauma (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome). You are entitled to benefits for such injuries, and you should not be swayed if you have been told otherwise. Many types of accidents occur and we can help you pursue the compensation you need. Read about work related accidents…
Types of Injuries
There are countless types of injuries which may be sustained in work related accidents. From construction sites to administrative offices, from dangerous equipment to slippery floors, enough hazards exist in the workplace to make workers' comp necessary. As stated previously, these injuries do not need to come only from a specific, traumatic accident. "Wear and tear" or repetitive trauma injuries can cause numbness and tingling, damage to joints and other physiological changes. These types of injuries are covered under workers' compensation as well and can be quite debilitating. We can help no matter the injury you have suffered. Read more on

Kansas Workers' Compensation
Although workers' compensation is a legal obligation of employers across the country and many workers' comp laws apply nationally, specific laws can vary state to state. Our legal team is intimately familiar with Kansas law and has extensive experience fighting for our clients' rights in this state. Recent changes to workers' compensation laws have only made the system more complicated and difficult for those who have been injured and need protection.
Unlike Missouri and other states, Kansas allows for up to $500 in "unauthorized" medical credit. This can be used to obtain a second medical opinion or treatment the insurance company refuses to authorize. Any recommended treatment that has been denied can then be pursued at preliminary hearing, and you can even request a change in physician.
Kansas law does provide for temporary disability benefits under most circumstances while recovering from a work-related injury and under temporary restrictions. If your employer does not return to you work or to your regular rate of pay, contact us to make sure you are receiving what is fair under the law. A one week "waiting period" does apply before temporary disability benefits are due. This initial period then gets paid if the temporary disability lasts for three weeks or more.
Permanent partial disability benefits in Kansas compensate you for any long-term, functional impairment your injuries cause. In certain circumstances, you may even be entitled to additional compensation if you are unable to earn the same amount once your treatment is concluded. There are specific requirements and legal limits to the benefits available. The workers' compensation attorneys at Haight Stang, LLC will work with you to see that all of the benefits you are entitled to are both protected and maximized.

Missouri Workers' Compensation
If you have been injured in a work related accident or incident in Missouri, we can help. The slight variations of workers' comp laws and its administrative systems between states makes knowledgeable legal counsel vital. We take care to ensure your claim is addressed correctly in order to protect your benefits.
Missouri law does require the employer to provide reasonable and necessary treatment if sufficiently caused by an industrial accident. The causation requirement is commonly used by insurance companies to deny medical treatment to injured workers. It is important to clearly demand medical treatment and to confirm if it will be denied. If necessary treatment is then obtained through other means, it is possible to hold the insurance company responsible for all related charges. If treatment is not denied, the employer does get to designate the doctors who will treat you.
Missouri laws also provide for both temporary and permanent disability benefits where appropriate. The goal of the insurance company is to pay as little as possible in compensation for your injuries. Unfortunately, Missouri law specifically prohibits Administrative Law Judges from giving advice to injured workers on what is fair. The workers' compensation attorneys at Haight Stang, LLC have handled thousands of Missouri workers' compensation claims through both the settlement and trial processes. We can send you to a doctor we select to assess any treatment needs or to provide a different opinion on the disability benefits you are rightfully entitled to.
In certain circumstances, an injured worker in Missouri may be entitled to additional benefits against the Missouri Second Injury Fund. This may apply where a certain level of permanent disability is caused by a work-related injury, and preexisting disabilities also have been suffered. Contact the workers' compensation attorneys at Haight Stang, LLC to find out whether these benefits are available to you.

At Haight Stang, LLC, we are committed to being accessible to you throughout your case, offering only honest information and fighting relentlessly for your rights. This is our Pledge (link) to you. When you are represented by us, you cannot receive less compensation than you would have on your own. This is our Guarantee (link). Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be entitled to a minimum amount that would be determined by the insurance company and its doctors. Our skill and experience has helped us achieve significantly larger awards for countless clients. If, however, the amount we obtain for you becomes less than that minimum once attorney's fees and expenses are deducted, we will reduce our fee to protect the full amount of your minimum entitlement. This is our Guarantee. (link) You have nothing to lose and so much to gain by enlisting our help.

Driving is one of those things can be a blessing and a curse. It's great to be able to get in the car and drive to the store and have a trunk to put groceries in. It's nice to be able to get somewhere fast when you are running late. But it sucks to get stuck in traffic and it sucks to gas up your tank.
For some, it can suck to even lift your finger to turn on the blinker. Although not always completely necessary, it is required to turn on your headlights while your windshield wipers are on. All the rules you have to memorize before being issued a drivers license are to better protect the drivers on the road.
This infographic pertains to some strange road laws around the world.
Okay Alaska, you're right, no one should be letting their dog sit on the roof of the car while they are driving. What incident could have possibly occurred in one of the coldest places in the United States that would lead to the implementation of a law like this? Was this ever a serious issue?
In Russia it is illegal to drive a dirty car… What is dirty? Clean. What is clean? Very strange law, Russia.
But none as strange as the provision that one must not shoot whales from their vehicle in Tennessee. Who in the heck is responsible for that one? [infographic provided by Think Insurance]

Actually there is. At least it was in USSR. My father was fined twice.
Am I wrong, or do many of these seem rational. don't splash people with mud? don't hit animals? carry equipment to tow other cars that are stuck?

The Hackney cabs one appears to be fiction: http://www.morrlaw.com/news/uk-s-strangest-laws-fact-or-fiction
Manila Resident
The one in Manila is for traffic congestion. Every car has one weekday that it is not allowed to be on the road determined by the last number on the plate. If you have the money you come up with a separate plate or bribe your way out of it.
That headlights are a requirement in Scandinavia makes a lot of sense, and it seem to spread to other countries as well. It may seem odd since a car is visible also without headlights in the daytime, but the difference is that with headlights on the car can be spotted much more easily and from a greater distance.
The Scandinavian headlights when driving have now been superseded by a cross-Europe ruling for 'running lights' (mainly led lights.)
David Jashi
Apart from Tennessee and Hackney, I fail to find any of those laws strange:
Alaska – plenty of riding dogs there, sure most of car owners don't want huge beasts inside the car, when transporting them. So, putting them on the roof of your truck comes as natural decision…
Montreal – a bit of overreaction, but blocking even your own driveway may not be good idea in case of accident or natural disaster
Brazil – very sane decision. It might save surviving participants from prison.
Spain – I use glasses and on one occasion broke mine in the middle of the road. If I had spare ones, the rest of the road wouldn't take me twice as much as normal.
Scandinavia – it's North. It may be dark or snowing even there at noon.
Serbia – too many old cars
Saudi Arabia – those are Shariat laws, not driving ones. And after all, try driving with burka on.
Beijing – why would you stop on pedestrian crossing, when it's your traffic lights are green? To make another traffic jam?
Manila – many big towns have time restrictions to reduce traffic jams. This one is not worse or better, than others.
Thailand – it's hot there. If you don't make shirts compulsory, practically everyone will drive naked from waist up.
Russia and Japan – what's so strange in not being filthy?
South Africa – Oh come on, go and tell antelope to give you way, because there are little triangles drawn on it's lane.
incorrect, for saudi arabia, it has nothing to with islamic shariah law, im from saudi arabia and it's all based upon culture, even wearing a burka is culture and in no way an islamic law. please be more informed.
Should probably be re-titled "The stupidest Myths about driving laws…"
There are no strange driving rules in india. In fact, there are no rules at all!
http://johnharvey.us/ SgtCedar
Some of those laws make perfect sense. Headlights in Scandinavia, that should be a law everywhere. Some new cars automatically turn on the headlights.
Dogs on the roof. One word, "Romney."
Spare glasses makes great sense. If my glasses broke I could not drive safely.
http://akted.com/ akTed
"[...] makes great sense"? A spare glasses requirement is over-reaching by the government. Perhaps you'd agree with a law that require you to have spare underwear, in case you soil yours? Or, how about a law requiring a spare tie (for men) in case you spill wine on the one you're wearing?

The one about it being illegal to stop at a pedestrian crossing in China is bunk. The laws says that motor vehicles must give way to pedestrians on a crossing. Should a car strike a pedestrian, the car driver is automatically assumed to be at fault even if the pedestrian is jaywalking. I know because I have a Chinese driver's licence.

I am from Montreal. I was once parked blocking my own driveway/entrance to my garage. I got a ticket, though I also noticed there were a few "no parking" signs vaguely placed up and down my street. (The city of Montreal is in constant construction and often dealing with snow removal, so the "no parking" signs seem to appear and disappear anywhere at anytime) None too close to my house, so I took the chance. When I went to the city hall to pay said ticket, I asked if I got the ticket because I was blocking my own drive way, because it was my first time parking like that. She pointed to the ticket and explained that I got it because I ignored the no parking signs that had been set up. She assured me that I am allowed to park in front of my own drive way. Only way you can get a ticket for that is if you are blocking someone else's drive way, and they call and make a complaint/get your car towed.
So, I can confirm that the Montreal law written here is not true.
Hi Anna, I'm in Montreal also and last year my sister indeed got a ticket for parking in front of her OWN driveway. She even saw the "green onion/ville de montreal" guy as he was putting ticket on windshield and she asked him what the f#$$# he was doing and he told her it was illegal to block a driveway. She said it was her own driveway and he said it doesn't matter.. parking in front of any lowered sidewalk (as in front of all driveways) is illegal regardless if it was yours. Some really dumb laws we have here. I guess most people don't enforce it, but I guess if they are low on thier quota and they woke up on wrong side of bed, anything goes
Strange. I guess the woman who was working at the city hall was unaware of the laws she should know in order to properly do her job.
This law must be obscure enough, if a person who's job is to work with parking and driving related tickets did not know it existed.
The Blob
yeah I'm from South Africa and there is no law that Animals have right of way… But in saying that if a cow walked across the road I'm not going to worry if it's law or not to stop for the beef machine?

Thousands of drivers and bus matrons hit the picket lines while tens of thousands of students and their parents had to find new ways to get to school. NY1's Lindsey Christ filed the following report.
After the first day of the citywide school bus shutdown, Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested life will go on even if the yellow buses do not.
As nearly 9,000 bus drivers, chaperones and mechanics worked picket lines, demanding city contracts protect their seniority rights, City Hall used statistics to try to downplay the impact of their strike on the 152,000 students who lost bus service.
But when it comes to the students with disabilities, most of whom rely on yellow buses, attendance was actually down more than 40 percent. Fewer than half of them made it to school.
"I hope this does not last a long time but it's not going to last more than June because that's the end of the school year," Bloomberg said.
The mayor said that because the bus drivers work for private contractors, the city can't interfere in their negotiations. But the union says only Bloomberg can get the buses going again.
"Mayor Bloomberg, Chancellor Walcott please come negotiate with us. Put the EPP's back in the bid," said Michael Cordiello, president of the striking union, Amalgamated Transportation Union Local 1181. "Protect the workers that have the experience. Protect the children of New York, you can do it. Please come forward and end the strike, it's in your hands."
Meantime, parents will be forced to use public transportation, taxis, their own cars or carpools to get their kids to class.
All students affected by the strike were given MetroCards that expire on June 26, the last day of the school year.
And parents of young children can get MetroCards from the school, but those may only work on the subway today as buses have not yet been programmed to accept them.
That should be done by tomorrow.
Parents will also be reimbursed 55 cents for every mile put on their cars if they drive their kids, or for the cost of livery cabs or taxis by submitting receipts.
For more information about which buses are running - or reimbursement procedures - go to the city's website, nyc.gov.

California Cops Are Pulling People Over For The Best Reason Ever

Getting pulled over is the worst. Usually.
But in a recent promotion for Wall's Ice Cream, a group of police officers in Quincy, California decided to give people a fresh experience with the cops.
Using their law-appointed power, the cops pulled over a few unsuspecting citizens and then fired a few questions at them.
After the innocents appeared to be nice and terrified, the officers retreated to their cars to get them a special treat that's much, much better than a ticket.

'Satan Himself Lives In San Pedro,' Honduras: Scary Pictures Of The Most Violent City On Earth
Christina Sterbenz, provided by
Published 1:35 pm, Sunday, June 15, 2014
"Satan himself lives here in San Pedro," a mortician from the second largest city in Honduras told The Guardian. "People here kill people like they're nothing more than chickens."
With a murder rate of 169 per 100,000 people in 2011, San Pedro Sula was named the world's most violent city in a study by Mexico's Citizens' Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice.
Over the last few years, homicides in Honduras have risen, even while violence falls in neighboring countries like El Salvador and Guatemala.
Arms and drug trafficking have flooded the country, contributing to high gang violence. Lax gun laws (civilians can own up to five personal firearms), corruption, and poverty make life in San Pedro Sula even worse.
What's more, inmates have controlled Honduras' 24 prisons since the state gave up on rehabilitating convicts, according to a recent report by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
In 2008, the mounting number of murders forced San Pedro Sula to store bodies in refrigerated trucks before transporting them to mass-burial sites.
A military coup ousted former president Manuel Zelaya in 2009, and the tense political environment only caused more problems. Here, one of his supporters holds his photo during a protest in San Pedro Sula, many of which turned violent.

A shocking incident in 2010 saw 18 people massacred in a shoe shop as part of a gang war. This photo shows police searching for weapons the very next day.

Monsanto attacking democracy in VermontApril 21,2013Monsantos lobbyists are out in force in Vermont, lobbying politicians in the hope of scuttling H.122, Vermonts labeling law, which would require mandatory labeling of foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Theyre repeating ad nauseum their propaganda claims that GE foods and crops are perfectly safe and therefore need no labeling, that transgenics are environment- and climate-friendly, and that genetically modified crops are necessary to feed the world.
But as consumers become wiser, Monsanto has had to resort to attacking democracy instead of merely trying to defend its indefensible products.
One of Monsantos major propaganda points, designed to discourage state officials from passing GMO labeling laws, is that state GMO labeling is unconstitutional. Last year, the company threatened to sue the state of Vermont if lawmakers passed a GMO labeling law.
Biotech industry lawyers claim federal courts will strike down mandatory state GMO labeling for three reasons:
1) Because federal law, in this case FDA regulations, pre-empts state law.
2) Because commercial free speech allows corporations to remain silent on whether or not their products are genetically engineered.
3) Because GMO labeling would interfere with interstate commerce.
These claims simply dont hold up. State GMO labeling, and other food safety and food labeling laws, are constitutional. Federal law, upheld for decades by federal court legal decisions, allows states to pass laws relating to food safety or food labels when the FDA has no prior regulations or prohibitions in place.
There is currently no federal law or FDA regulation on GMO labeling, except for a guidance statement on voluntary labeling, nor is there any federal prohibition on state GMO or other food safety labeling laws.
In fact, there are more than 200 state food labeling laws in effect right now in the U.S., including a GMO fish labeling law in Alaska, laws on labeling wild rice, maple syrup, dairy quality, kosher products, and laws on labeling dairy products as rBGH-free.
It is very unlikely that any federal court will want to make a sweeping ruling that would nullify 200 pre-existing state laws.
U.S. case law does indicate that commercial free speech in certain instances allows corporations to remain silent about whats in their products. However, federal courts have consistently ruled that when there are compelling state interests health, environment, economic states can require corporations to divulge whats in their products or how they were produced.
When it comes to GMOs, states can clearly make the case for compelling state interests, according to Consumer Unions senior scientist, Michael Hansen. He says: There is a compelling state interest in labeling of genetically engineered foods and that is due to the potential human health and environmental impacts of genetically engineered foods.
Hansen also argues that Codex Alimentarius, a collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations relating to foods, food production and food safety, guarantees nations the right to implement mandatory labeling of GMO foods. The standards support the argument that GMO labels do not constitute a restriction of free trade, as long as they are applied to both domestic and international producers.
Similarly state GMO labels, as long as they do not discriminate against particular producers, but rather apply to all producers state, national, and international do not constitute a restriction of interstate commerce.
The U.S. government, under massive global pressure, has signed on to the Codex Alimentarius, which serves as a risk management measure to deal with the scientific uncertainty associated with genetically engineered foods. And according to Hansen, there most certainly is significant scientific uncertainty about the potential health impacts of genetically engineered foods.
States and localities have the right and the power to pass their own legislation, especially when the federal government fails or refuses to act on matters of compelling interest. Although large corporations now control the federal government, we still have room to organize and govern ourselves, especially at the local level.
Vermonters are engaged in a fundamental battle, for the right to know whats in our food, the right to choose what we buy and eat, and the right to regulate out-of-control corporations that are threatening our environment, our health and future climate stability.
Without bio-democracy there can be no democracy. Without a balance of powers between the federal government, states and local home rule, there is no republic, but rather a corporatocracy, an unholy alliance between indentured politicians and profit-at-any-cost corporations.
The battle for food sovereignty, beginning here in Vermont, is a battle we cannot afford to lose.
