The Vampire Diaries Official Convention: See Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder and More
* Additional fees apply.
The last date listed for The Vampire Diaries Official Convention was Sept 14, 2014 (Start/End Times TBA).
Venue Details
Food right outside the convention can be expensive. There are more affordable options inside the casino, but that is quite a walk. We usually pack a lunch to take with us each day it is more affordable, more convenient, and prevents us from missing guests we would like to see.13th Annual Official Star Trek Convention dining • May 30 2014 star this tip starred

I liked the stage personalities. There was a small Vendor's room and the photo ops were sold out way in advance. It was boring between guest speakers with nothing to do since the photo ops were gone.

I enjoyed the actors from the show. The Vendors room was small and the photo ops were already sold out before the event. There wasn't much to due during the event until the actors were onstage. Thank goodness the Rio has options.

"Perfect idea!!! Thanks!"
"OH-MY-GOSH! This was SO good! I didn't have any tomatoes or potatoes, so I only used a cup of milk and it was still perfect. Creamy and packed full of veggies. Even my husband who doesn't really like this kind of thing liked it. If there was 6 stars, thats what I would rate it!"

Connecting to ispconfig.org ... failed:
I got all the way thru the 6 pages of installing Ubuntu, nginx, php-fpm dovecot, etc. etc. then I put in:
wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/I...-stable.tar.gz
and I got this:
Connecting to www.ispconfig.org (www.ispconfig.org) | 22.214.171.124| :80 ... failed: No route to host.
What's wrong???
No problem here. Maybe a routing problem of your provider?
Thank you Falko. But that is not the reason for the problem. I did the install of everything else without editing /etc/network/interfaces at the beginning.
Then just before I did the above I filled in what I thought were the IP addresses for
/etc/network/interfaces and then the screw up.
Obviously, my numbers were wrong. So could you please tell me which numbers to use?
Thank you

After the above problem, I reinstalled the entire thing without touching /etc/network/interfaces and everything including the ISPConfig3 downloaded and installed OK.
So please tell me the right numbers to use.

I am in love with this thing, wholeheartedly. It's so expensive for a personal care item, yes. But it was the best investment I've ever made for myself. I'm so glad I bought this! Anyone with any type of skin can use this and it will be a miracle worker.
This product has changed my life. I have gone from oily, blackhead prone skin to normal skin. I use this every day especially on my nose and the crease area between my lips and chin (where I get blackheads) and my skin is now very clear (except the odd hormonal cheek breakout) and radiant. I can't recommend this enough-I have tried everything including monthly facials with extractions. NOTHING works as well as this does. Hands down the bed beauty purchase I ever made. Also as a bonus, it makes all your cleansers last longer as you need so little with the ClarisOnic.

I could not live without this product as it has done wonders for my skin. I do not use it everyday as I did at first, as it made my face dry and sore.
I use this as part of my once a week beauty regime where I steam my face, apply a scrub and then use the Clarisonic. I then apply moisturiser and my skin looks smooth and the wrinkles are definitely smoother!
I used to suffer from acne, which has now gone and I believe the Clarisonic had something to do with that. Also red marks I used to have on my skin can hardly be seen now.
Unfortunately I still have blackheads on my nose though.

I bought the Clarisonic Mia because of my hyperpigmentation and generally dull looking skin. I do not get acne and don't get many pimples, despite having quite an oily t-section.
After trying the Clarisonic for a couple of weeks I thought it was great and my skin felt soft and my open pores on my nose and chin appeared to look smaller.
Then... I started get pimples. Not just one or two but about 10 or more. I thought this is just the 'purging' stage everyone talks about so I kept using for weeks more (1-2 times a day and very softly as recommended). I thought it would eventually clear up after a while but it didn't. I had pimples in places I've never had pimples before and I had several blackheads on my cheeks and around my nose, lips, chin. It was absolutely horrible, especially because I'm not a pimple/blackhead person usually. I stopped using immediately.
It's now taken about 6 weeks to get my skin back to how it was before. Thank goodness!
I guess if you already have clean and clear skin, it might make it worse. If you have problematic skin and are yet to find a solution, you never know it might work for you.... But not for me..
Im a guy and have very oily skin, but its condition is good. No blemishes or acne.
I bought the clarisonic hoping it would make my skin produce less oil and make my pores appear smaller.
I didn't notice huge difference in those concerns, but my other products sank in much better and my face was perfectly clean and soft every day. This is not an exfoliator, this is just avery goos skin ckeansing system. For now Im using the sensitive brush head and am satisfied, but I may try the deep pore one aswell. One more thing - the purging time does exist, upon first use I got one big spot on my face and thought that this does nothing, but I used it anyway. That period lasted about a week ( horrible week), but now my skin is claer as never before and I am happy I inveted in this!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had two other sonic cleansing devices before the Mia. They both worked well, but then broke. I didn't want to get burned again, so this time I just stepped up to the "real thing" even though it cost more. I managed to get it for almost $90.
PROS: I wasn't using any devices for a while, so when I did introduce the Mia, I immediate noticed that extra smoothness I was missing.
CONS: That smoother than natural feeling just... stopped. It's like it plateaued or something. I feel like it doesn't really do much for my skin now. The charges didn't hold well at all either. I hooked it up to charge and like 10+ hours later it was still going! I thought maybe the light wasn't supposed to change so I just started using it. It seemed to want to be recharged a lot after that point, so I then let it go for like 16-24 hours and now it doesn't need it as often. I also have some persistant acne right now and this has done NOTHING for it. Zero. Finally, I also don't find it working well with foaming cleansers. They aren't designed for it, but I remember my Sirius skinsonic being a lot better in this area.
OVERALL: I'm rating this a 3 because honestly it's not as great as the hype. The knockoffs I had worked just as well; what you're really paying for is reliablity and brush choices by going Clarisonic. I stop when the timer tells me, which doesn't seem that long for cleansing either. It may be just not enough for me. I'm a guy and we're supposed to have thicker skin. I'm using the sensitive brush that's included (which feels somewhat sensitive and somewhat not sensitive) but I will bump up to a "harsher"/different one as an experiment when I need to replace it. And if my Mia also breaks, I won't buy another one, I'll get a Foreo Luna instead. I learned of Foreoshortly after getting my Mia, and while more expensive, it has a longer battery, no brushes to replace, and on the higher end model, more speeds and a sonic infusion mode. I think that Clarisonic has been around a while and are not so innovative anymore.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've always suffered from acne prone and oily skin. I knew this was simply down to hormones yet no matter what I tried (medication from the doctor, contraceptive pill and cleansing etc) my acne would not go away. I found out about the Clarisonic online and always wanted to buy one after hearing good reviews yet was put off by the price. After growing sick and tired of my acne I decided to give the Clarisonic a go despite the price.
I heard about something called a 'purging phase' which worried me as I couldn't face my acne getting any worse yet some people said it was basically a load of rubbish and didn't exist. After a couple of weeks using the Clarisonic my skin broke out so much! I was gutted my acne became worse and I even considered stopping using the Clarisonic.
However, I decided to continue and now I've been using it for three months. It took as long as 2 months for me to notice an improvement in my skin but It was so worth the initial purging stage and the cost of the item. I haven't had spots in weeks! I only have a few marks from my acne but the Clarisonic is even fading them gradually. I've never felt so good about my skin, it looks brighter, it's smoother and I don't get spots anymore PLUS my skin is no longer oily and my face does not look greasy halfway through the day when I wear foundation. The only thing I would say about the item is don't use it as much as the manual recommends. My face got really dry when I used it too frequently so I try to use it 5 times a week now.
I would thoroughly recommend this product to anyone who would like to improve their skin. I think it's a great product and is worth the investment :)

I have been using this in morning for a few days now and my skin feels so much smoother. It also help calm down the flaky patches all over my face and it's very gentle. My skin also appears a little brighter and it is less abrasive than using a scrub.
I do wish this came with a stand and that it vibrated every 20 seconds like the other models.
I love this cleaner so much, the only problem I had is the company said that you could use it twice a day and I found out the hard way that most people shouldn't/cant(including me). I use this 3-4 times a week because even though it is a gentle exfoliator it still exfoliates and you should only exfoliate your face 1-2 times a week. So, because this is more gentle than an actual exfoliator I use it a little more than I would a regular exfoliator. I can honestly say that besides the bad information the company gives the overall cleaner is great. it truly does make my creams and cleansers go in so much better and as a result work better too. My redness and a lot of my acne had completely gone away, not to mention my face feels like velvet. Its charge lasts really long and even though the price is a little high I have found that its worth every penny. I would recommend this to anyone who has any type of skin problems and even for people just looking for a good face cleaner. just make sure not to use it too often or more than likely it will break you out and cause problems for you/your skin.

I bought into this clarisonic craze based on the good reviews here. But after trying for two months, I can see no noticeable difference to my skin. Before clarisonic, I had always cleaned my skin thoroughly anyway - if I've worn make up that day, then cleansing oil (DHC is my favorite) followed by a mild cleansing milk (avene at the moment,but there are plenty of good ones out there), if not, then cleansing milk on its own. My skin is in good condition. I bought this to see whether the supersonic technology will do anything magical that's beyond what my hands can ever achieve. The answer is no. Here's my conclusion: first, if you've spent enough time to message your skin with a quality cleanser and rinse thoroughly afterwards, there is no extra need for a "high tech" machine. Plus, when done properly, daily gentle message is so good for your skin, why would you want to skip this step? Second, you need to be really careful to keep the brush clean so that it won't become a hot bed for bacteria. If you have this time to spare, why not spend it on your face rather than on this gadget? I definitely won't be buying this again. Total waste of money. If you think your skin is not clean enough, my advice is to buy a good quality cleanser, and learn proper cleaning and messaging technique. (By the way, the cleansing gel that comes in the package feels incredibly cheap quality.)

ROCK ISLAND, Illinois — More than 1,000 jobs at the Rock Island Arsenal have been lost over the past two years due to cutbacks in defense spending.
Official statistics show the civilian work force has fallen from 6,743 in 2012 to 5,658 this year. The Rock Island Argus (http://bit.ly/1qJ7KHw ) reports the job reduction shows the cutbacks, prompted by the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, have had a deep economic impact. The total workforce at Rock Island Arsenal once reached 9,000 during the height of the two wars.
Spokesman Eric Cramer says there are now 557 active duty military personnel at the facility, up slightly from 543 in 2012.
The loss of 1,083 jobs wasn't the result of layoffs, but positions that haven't been refilled after short-term contracts ended or employees decided to retire or leave the facility.

There's no right or wrong way to meditate. Anything you do to help connect you to your inner self is a step in the right direction. Be gentle and loving to yourself and all will be revealed.
Recognize that this is a process. As you endeavor along, building skill here, embrace the unfinished state that we are all in.
We can create ideas, innovate, and become competitive in a shorter time than ever before. The world is a collection of unlimited wealth and resources; the question is how we make those resources relevant to who we are. The more we have, the more we can give.
The pleasures of our earlier years will never be the same again. The only real fulfilment from here on in lies through deepening our sense of self and connection to things greater than self. It's time to appreciate quality of life rather than standard of living.
Unhappiness stems from living as one person, but knowing the real you is much different. The strain of acting all the time can crush your spirit and steal your joy. The authentic you is much more beautiful, talented and powerful than anything you could fabricate.
I do think that open communication is helpful and necessary in any and all relationships (especially romantic relationships), but I also don't agree that sharing every tiny detail of feelings is necessary either.

Being able to see, understand and deal effectively with others' perspectives is key to successful leadership (as well as personal life). That capacity, part of self-awareness, is empathy. Two recent studies show its crucial role.
We are always guided. Some pay close attention to the clues that help us to discern which paths we take, that most serve our highest learning and greatest good. Others give occasion to such awareness, and as a result, happiness and life's successes seem hit or miss and chance-like.
When I meet new people in social settings, the conversational question of, "What do you do for a living?" often leads people to ask me the follow-up question, "So are you analyzing me?" While it's said in a fun, playful manner, I think it speaks to a deeper question that all of us face.
Shame, rage, guilt, sadness, frustration and anger. What place do these emotions have in our lives? How do we deal with dark emotions without getting engulfed in them?
hen I was younger, there were times I was moving so fast that I missed a lot. I couldn't wait to get on to the next experience without really enjoying what I was doing at the moment.
The river keeps running. You can swim against the current all you want, but it's going to win. So instead of fighting the current on this river, I'm just going to ride it and see where it takes me. And ever since I made this decision, I've been rested, centered and at peace.
When others feel broken in spirit, the peaceful human waterfall overflows with unconditional love, reserving judgment and calmly smoothing the rocky edges by listening, understanding, and forgiving.
Why was I just now seeing it? Was I too preoccupied to see it before? Had it been there all along? I finished my run with these questions lingering in my head.

In the pursuit of productivity, we can fall into the habit of thinking the only ideas worth our attention are those with commercial value. But when you channel your creative energy into something you love, you may stumble into success.
Empathy is a day-to-day struggle of sorts, a test of our compassion and capacity for listening with understanding. It pushes us to break from the limits of our own stories, our own biases, and see someone in a different light.
Once again, I am making a commitment to love and cherish someone. I am making a commitment to honor and respect someone. And, this time, I am certain, that this someone will be around until death parts us. I'm making a commitment to myself.
The carp does not flounder, nor does it scheme like a shark. He knows what he is. How many human beings create a false version of themselves, hoping to look good or jump ahead in life, and find themselves flip-flopping like a fish on land?
Excellence comes from being present to ourselves and our surroundings. And if we are truly paying attention, we will find gems of hidden humor as well. That's what it means to Do it Well and Make it Fun.
Promise yourself to focus on the good that is present in you and all around you. By doing so, you will eventually get back to yourself, back to being authentic and back to living a blissful, abundant and loving life.
I do know that awareness can be taught, it can be learned, it can be discovered, but I'm not sure that it can ever be arrived at. In other words, it's a gradual unpeeling where you never get to the core.

It teaches the importance of balanced, nutrient-rich meals, and includes sample meal plans and easy recipes to help you on your way to success.
How much time does it take?
The Metaball workouts are time efficient, offering challenging cardiovascular training along with full body toning all in one workout session. A typical Metaball workout takes approximately 30 minutes from warm up to cool down. You are welcome to do two workouts in one session, which will take your workout time to approximately one hour total.
Are the Metaball System workouts appropriate for all fitness levels?
Absolutely! The Metaball System is designed to meet you where you are right now in your fitness journey. Metaball workouts are designed to incrementally grow with your own personal goals. Because the workout DVDs include a "modifier" and an "accelerator" to follow, you will be able to easily adapt the entire workout to your specific needs.
Can I take Metaball with me when I travel?
Yes! The Metaball is very portable and can easily fit inside a suitcase, or even a carry on at the airport or gym bag. Take your Metaball to work and complete a workout over your lunch break, to a hotel room while traveling, or even to the beach to get a workout and a tan. Basically, wherever you are, your Metaball is there and ready to help you get in the best shape of your life. As part of the package, you'll also receive the Signature Moves Chart, which you can take with you for a quick and easy full body workout.
How much space will I need?
You will only need 6 x 6 feet of space to do the Metaball System workouts. A typical space would be between your TV and the couch in your living room.
Do you offer International Shipping?
Yes! Due to the high volume of shipping, we have secured a deal for International Shipping with our carrier at reduced rates that we pass onto our customers. Our International Shipping supplier has granted a World Flat Shipping rate for each different package. What we cannot control is the Customs & Duties and Taxes for each country.

Customer's are responsible for their own Customs & Duties and Taxes.
How is Metaball different from other gym equipment?
Metaball replaces kettlebells, dumbbells, push up bars, and medicine balls. The Metaball is a complete gym inside a simple ball, but the ball is anything but ordinary. To enhance your results, the Metaball opens with a push of a button allowing you to load weights to the ball by 2.5lb increments to your desired resistance weight based on your fitness level. The Metaball itself consists of two independent spheres that rotate opposite of each other to allow for greater range of ergonomic motion in your workouts. Your Metaball replaces over $700 dollars of equipment in multiple sets of dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls and push up bars. And best of all, the Metaball is easily transportable to ensure that wherever you go, your workout goes with you!
Metaball Highlights:
Easily adjustable: With one simple click of the Metaball signature logo locking and release button, you can quickly change from one exercise to the next with ease, or adjust the weight by adding in the MetaWEIGHTS to your current fitness level. Easy operation means more time for workouts!
Streamline design: While holding the Metaball, the position of your upper body and wrists are supported by the ergonomically enhanced design for comfort and proper form.
Endless exercise possibilities: The Metaball System workouts are dynamic and fun: twist, lunge, jog, jump, spike, dribble, curl, press... the opportunities are infinite!
What will I get in my Metaball System order?
- 1 Metaball (5lbs, each half 2.5lbs)
- 2 MetaWeights (2.5 lbs each)
- Signature Workouts DVD with 6 Signature Full Length Workouts: Athletic Fat Burner, Cardio Speed Trials, Cardio Master Burn, Upper Body Transformation, Lower Body Transformation, Sports Stretch
- 2 bonus DVD's: ABSolute Power Workout Video and Cardio Assault Workout Video
- 90 Day Transformation Tracker Wall Calendar so you can watch your progress
- Signature Moves Wall Chart for quick reference
- Body Transformation Guide (Fitness Guide) and Quick Start Weight Loss Plan ( Nutrition Guide) so you can maximize your Metaball System results!
How much does the Metaball weigh?
The Metaball alone is 5 pounds, and is ergonomically designed to work with the body's natural movements so it maximizes every movement during the action packed Metaball workouts. Once you open the Metaball, each half of the Metaball weighs 2.5lbs in its shell where you can add additional weights to each half of the shell in 2.5lb weight increments.
What are some other Metaball System benefits?
Turns your body into a fat torching machine: When exercising with the Metaball in your hands, the extra weight of the Metaball and it's versatility to change exercises quickly challenges your muscular and cardiovascular systems on a whole new level. As your muscles adapt and compensate to the forces placed upon them, you raise your heart rate, tone all of the major muscles and challenge your body, yielding a high calorie burn.
Offers a full body workout, every time: As you workout with the Metaball, you engage every muscle of the body, and no muscle goes unused. As you move from one exercise to the next quickly, you are utilizing the muscles of the upper and lower body simultaneously, as well as the entire core.
The workouts are fun! When you play sports, you don't realize you're actually workout out, right? When you workout with the Metaball System, you feel like you are actually playing sports or doing recreational activities, so you have a good time doing it. You won't realize how hard you've worked out until you're finished!
Improves functional strength: The Metaball System workouts improve your stamina, agility and your body's motor patterns all at the same time, giving you the strength to perform everyday tasks with more ease and precision.
When will my Metaball Fitness System ship?
First 500 orders will ship before the end of 2014.
What makes the Metaball System so effective?
Greg Plitt worked for four years perfecting the Metaball for his workouts, and you're going to love it! The Metaball System utilizes a highly effective method called Metabolic Training mixed within High Intensity Interval Training. Metabolic Training consists of high intensity bouts of exercise followed by active rest periods to catch your breath and allow your heart rate to recover. This is an extremely efficient form of training because it accelerates your metabolism, which makes your body more efficient at burning calories and fat, even hours after your workout is over.
What kinds of exercises are included in the Metaball System workout DVDs?
Throughout the Metaball System workout DVDs, you will find fun, easy to follow and highly effective moves. Built within the Metaball workout programs, Greg takes you through signature cardiovascular moves ranging from beginner techniques to more advanced techniques. No matter how advanced the moves are, Greg teaches how you can modify the moves to ensure no matter what your fitness level is, you will be able to challenge yourself to get in the best shape of your life.
The majority of the moves are compound moves, meaning multiple muscle movements at the same time for the most effective workout in a given period of time. The exercises range from basic moves such as jumping jacks, cardio drills, squats, lunges, sit ups, crunches, push ups, and bicep curls to more advanced moves that are not only challenging, but are the first of their kind! Examples include: meat grinders, piston catchers, under dogs, spider crawls, anti-gravity presses, east west mountain climbers, soccer ball taps, jump shots, heroes, wright brothers, ski slaloms, grab and go's and others totaling over hundreds of exercises. You will also find strength and flexibility training, yoga, deep core work, balance and stability exercises, agility drills and much more. You will be having so much fun; you'll forget you are actually exercising!

The Iosif Vissarionovich tank (or IS tank, also known as the Joseph Stalin tank), was a heavy tank developed by the Soviet Union during World War II and first used in the Kursk area in September 1943. The tanks in the series are also sometimes called JS or ИС tanks.
The T-72, which entered production in 1971, was first seen in public in 1977. The T-72, introduced in the early 1970s, is not a further development of the T-64, but rather a parallel design chosen as a high-production tank complementing the T-64.
The M41 Walker Bulldog was a U.S. light tank developed to replace the M24 Chaffee. It was named for General Walton Walker who died in a jeep accident in Korea.
The M5 Stuart light tank made its debut in the invasion of Casablanca in French North Africa. By 1943, and at the time of the invasion of Sicily, the upgraded M5A1 was becoming the standard light tank of the American armored divisions.
Originally designated the Panzerselbstfahrlafette 2 x 7.62 cm PaK 36, Hitler changed its name to Marder III on February 27th, 1944. Production started on March 24th, 1942 at the Bahmisch-Mahrische Maschinenfabrik AG factory in Prague.
The Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind ("Whirlwind") was an anti-aircraft vehicle based on the Panzer IV. It was developed in 1944 as a successor to the earlier AA tank, the Mobelwagen.
The M8 Light Armored Car was a 6x6 armored car produced by the Ford Motor Company during the Second World War. It was used by the U.S. and British troops in Europe and the Far East until the end of the war.
In an effort to get sizeable numbers of tank destroyers into service along the Eastern Front, the Waffenant embarked upon a series of hurried improvizations throughout 1942-43. Eventually, a special weapons-carrier vehicle based on the PzKpfw IV chassis was developed, which was adapted to take the 8.8cm PaK 43 gun.
The UH-60 Black Hawk is a four-bladed, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft. Sikorsky submitted the S-70 design for the United States Army's Utility Tactical Transport Aircraft System (UTTAS) competition in 1972.
The AgustaWestland AW119 Koala is an eight-seat utility helicopter powered by a single turboshaft engine produced for the civil market. Introduced as the Agusta A119 Koala prior to the Agusta-Westland merger, it is targeted at operators favoring lower running costs of a single-engine aircraft over redundancy of a twin.

This presentation looks at the state's ability to manage people convicted of low-level offenses to drive down recidivism, how the state structures prison sentences to include a period of post-release supervision, and how to enhance post-release supervision to ensure parolees are held accountable.
Between FY2003 and FY2013, Nebraska's prison population climbed 20 percent, while corrections spending increased 34 percent. In addition, about one-third of people released from prison in FY2013 reentered the community without any supervision. As of May 2014, Nebraska's prisons were operating at 158 percent of capacity and the prison population was projected to grow an additional 12 percent by FY2023.
To address these challenges, Governor Dave Heineman, Chief Justice Michael Heavican, and Speaker Greg Adams, requested intensive technical assistance from the Council of State Governments Justice Center using a justice reinvestment approach. In collaboration with the Justice Reinvestment Working Group—which includes designees from all three branches of government, policymakers, and state and local criminal justice system stakeholders—CSG Justice Center staff will collect and analyze data and engage stakeholders from across the criminal justice system.
The Working Group will review the analyses and develop data-driven policy options designed to reduce corrections spending and increase public safety. A policy framework will be available for the legislature's consideration by early 2015.
Second Presentation to Nebraska Justice Reinvestment Working Group
Presentation of intermediate analyses, including contributors to Nebraska's prison crowding, information on felony sentencing distribution, and effective strategies to reduce a person's risk of reoffending, delivered to the Nebraska Justice Reinvestment Working Group on August 25, 2014.
First Presentation to Nebraska Justice Reinvestment Working Group
This presentation introduces the Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and the justice reinvestment process, provides an overview of criminal justice data trends in Nebraska, and discusses the guiding principles behind "what works" to reduce recidivism.

We've started to install SOLUS3 agents on some of our machines and today when our one of our finance staff tried to run FMS she got this:

My first thought was the SOLUS3 agent as this was the last thing to change on the machine and sure enough when we uninstalled it FMS was happy again.
I've got a call logged with Capita but just wondering if anybody else has experencied the same or similar issues?
Yes, it should have been fixed in FMS Spring 11. It is SOLUS3, basic it's FMSLoad check on the SOLUS3 Agent and not having enough permissions. Quick fix removed fmsload.exe from the shortcut.

Intel Core M Notebooks Arrive, Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Tested 78

from the confluence-of-awful-product-names dept.
MojoKid writes: Intel's 14nm Core M Broadwell architecture was announced a few months ago but to date, 2-in-1 hybrid devices and laptops have only trickled out to the market. Lenovo recently took the wraps off their Yoga 3 Pro 13-inch ultralight notebook and it's one of the few devices on the market right now that offers a glimpse of what Intel's Core M processor is capable of in performance and battery life testing. The 4.5 Watt TDP Core M 5Y70 actually keeps pace with 15-Watt previous generation Core i5 mobile chips in testing, but with significantly better battery life. It also enables very thin and light designs like the 2.6 pound Yoga 3 Pro, which is an interesting machine. Its watchband hinge allows it to contort into various positions for tablet, tent, stand and standard modes. The hinge is a "you love it or hate it" kind of thing, but does come with a 3200x1800 IPS display.

Sharp (No. 70, 2013) commits to Michigan State
Katie Sharp of Kendallville, Ind., has verbally committed to Michigan State for the fall of 2013. Sharp, a junior at East Noble High School, is the No. 5-ranked girl in Indiana, according to the Golfweek/Sagarin Junior Rankings.
Before deciding on Michigan State, Sharp also made unofficial visits to Iowa, Indiana, Kansas State, Illinois, Xavier, Ohio State, Evansville, Kentucky and Wake Forest.
"I was fortunate to make several visits to some outstanding universities, but in the end the coaches, golf program and academic opportunities at Michigan State was the best fit for me."
Sharp won the 2011 Hoosier Junior Championship, and was medalist at the Indiana Girls Junior. She was runner-up medalist at the Women's Western Junior and qualified for the 2010 PGA Junior.

Tractor beams could be real possibility according to scientists
The Millennium Falcon was pulled into the Death Star, leading to odd YouTube videos and a generation wondering if any of this could ever actually happen. Well, scientists have followed through on testing the Bessel beam and now say a tractor beam is a very real possibility for the future.
By using a Bessel beam, scientists at Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) have been able to create backward motion of particles in but separate from a forward-moving beam, though on a extremely small scale.
In 2011, both NASA and scientists in Hong Kong began to test the Bessel beam, which is essentially the X-Men of laser beams.
Wrote Even Ackerman on DVICE last Nov.: "A Bessel beam is what you get when you pass a laser beam through a cone-shaped lens, and the resulting beam comes out ring-shaped, with several unique properties: it doesn't spread out much over long distances (making it handy for long-range tractoring), and you can stick something in the middle of it and the beam will reform itself slightly farther on."
At the time, the theory was that the beam, because it wouldn't scatter and break the way most would, could form back together in front of an object and create electric and magnetic fields that would pull the object in the opposite direction of the beam.
In NASA's Lori Keesey's words: "According to theory, the laser beam could induce electric and magnetic fields in the path of an object. The spray of light scattered forward by these fields could pull the object backward, against the movement of the beam itself."
This no longer seems like theory, as A*STAR has actually done it. Though, again, this is on a extremely miniscule scale.
"These beams are not very likely to pull a human or a car, as this would require a huge laser intensity that may damage the object," said Heifeng Wang, a project member. "However, they could manipulate biological cells because the force needed for these doesn't have to be large."
Remember, though, this is the first reported success at having any particles move backwards in a forward moving beam. Not to mention the Bessel beam has been tested since at least 1996, when Washington State University used Bessel beams on sound waves. So any real-world application could be years away.
Nonetheless, it's a major step forward and incredibly interesting to boot.

I like it a lot for boys It's my cousin's name. I don't think it is unisex at all, although I have known a couple girls with this name. I see it as completely masculine.

Kitchen fire in condo sends Ashland resident to hospital
Fire Chief Steve Heath said the fire, which was reported at about 9:15 p.m., started in the home's kitchen. Upon arrival at the scene, rescue crews found one of the home's residents in need of medical evaluation for possible smoke inhalation.
The resident was taken to Speare Memorial Hospital in Plymouth.
"There were no health problems, as it turned out," Heath said.
Firefighters were able to save much of the home from damage. They also kept the fire from spreading to other condominium units, he said.
"We made a good save," Heath said.
Investigators found that the fire started in the kitchen, but have made no further determination of cause, he said.
The fire was not suspicious in nature, Heath said.

E! Online Columnist Gets Kara DioGuardi Scoop
Late yesterday afternoon, E! Online columnist Marc Malkin got the jump on his media colleagues with some sensational excerpts from former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi's new autobiography A Helluva High Note: Surviving Life, Love, and American Idol, due for release a week from today from the Harper Collins imprint It Books.
She details an incident of childhood molestation, at age 11, by a family friend's son and two more traumatic experiences as an adult: a date rape at the hands of a "fairly known producer" around the year 2000 and extended sexual harassment while working at a suburban location with a "hugely successful artist."

Best ExperienceI recently bought a used vehicle from Land Rover Flatirons and the car was in amazing condition. I looked all over the city and nothing compared to the condition and most importantly - the price of the vehicle. They priced the car very competitively. I didn't have to try to negotiate because it was already priced great. Salesman Jason was easy going and didn't pressure me once about buying. This was the best experience I have had at a dealership. - Ryan B. >> DealerRater.com
I've Had!
TrulyPaul Gifford is a truly exceptional service advisor. I live in Denver and will drive the extra distance for routine service for my RR sport because of the outstanding service provided at flatiron (I had previous experiences with both Denver East and South which are closer and more convenient). - Craig S. >> from Denver, Colo.
Couldn't BeI recently purchased a 2015 Range Rover Evoque from Land Rover Flatirons and I couldn't be happier with the vehicle or the experience I had when purchasing it! My salesman, Mark was more than happy to answer all of my questions and he took the time to help me during his already busy day, despite the fact that I showed up without an appointment. He made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions honestly. My entire experience with the whole team was great! I would recommend to anyone who is considering buying a Land Rover, to do so from Land Rover Flatirons! I couldn't be more happy with my Evoque!!! - Jolene W. >> Google Reviews
More Happy!
AbsoluteWe recently purchased our new Range Rover from Land Rover Flatirons and the experience we had with Mark Helliwell was absolute perfection. We love to know the ins and outs of everything and Mark was always able to answer the questions. More importantly, his attention to detail on delivery of the vehicle was impressive. It is always hard to find good people making strong recommendations on your behalf, and Mark definitely does this. Overall a top notch experience and we appreciate everything Mark did for us! - Daniel C. >> Facebook Page
Amazing Service!My Husband and I recently moved to Colorado and was having some trouble with our Range Rover Evoque, so we came to the Land Rover Flatirons and got amazing service from David and the Land Rover Team. Everyone made sure we were being helped and made sure we had a great experience while waiting to get our car fixed. They had it ready in no time! Thank you David and The Land Rover Team at Land Rover Flatirons, best service I could have asked for! - Lauren & Ryan >> DealerRater.com

American Civil Liberties Union
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) consists of two separate non-profit organizations: the ACLU Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization which focuses on litigation and communication efforts, and the American Civil Liberties Union, a 501(c)(4) organization which focuses on legislative lobbying. The ACLU's stated mission is "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States." It works through litigation, legislation, and community education. Founded in 1920 by Crystal Eastman, Roger Baldwin and Walter Nelles, the ACLU was the successor organization to the earlier National Civil Liberties Bureau founded during World War I. The ACLU reported over 500,000 members in 2010.
