hmm thats good info i bet they will do it seeing as it is very popular i do hope they do saorin' over the world i think that would be neat to hang glide over important icons from everywhere!
I don't know how true this is or even if it's new. But it seems pretty reasonable that a wildly popular ride would be recreated in Paris. And changing the scenery from California to France wouldn't be that hard at all.
As reported on WDSfans - Soarin' project tracker:
Soarin' to land at Walt Disney Studios?
Posted by Anthony on Wednesday, March 15 2006 Rumours are currently circulating that the popular "Soarin'" attraction (aka "Soarin' Over California") may be making its way to Walt Disney Studios Park sometime after 2008. The attraction uses giant-screen IMAX technology with an elevated, suspended motion simulator system to simulate a hang glider flight over the Golden State. It is likely that, should the attraction be built at the Studios, the "film" would be changed to fit better into the movie production theme.
Some rumours have suggested that the attraction would be placed between "CinéMagique" and the "Television Production Tour", but this initially appears rather unlikely considering the vast size of the attraction showbuilding in California and Florida.
The attraction first opened with Disney's California Adventure at Disneyland Resort, becoming the unexpected hit attraction of the park, in a similar way to "CinéMagique" in Paris. The attraction was then cloned for Epcot as part of Walt Disney World's celebrations for the 50th Anniversary of Disneyland. The Epcot version of the attraction, located in Future World's "The Land" pavillion, is strongly rumoured to receive a new film in upcoming years, featuring a hang glider flight over worldwide landmarks - "Soarin' Over The World".

Digital Evidence: An Indian Perspective
Tejas D. Karia1
This short paper is based on the presentation made at the first International Conference on Digital Evidence held at London on 26 and 27 June 2008, and primarily deals with the amendments to Indian law, to include the provisions relating to digital evidence and rules regarding the recognition and admissibility of digital evidence under Indian law. The recent decisions of the Indian courts on digital evidence are also discussed briefly. Law relating to digital evidence in India The proliferation of computers and the influence of information technology in human lives and the storage of information in digital form required amendments to Indian law to include the provisions regarding the appreciation of digital evidence. In 2000, the Indian Parliament enacted the Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act), which brought in corresponding amendments to existing Indian statutes to make digital evidence admissible. The IT Act is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce and, apart from providing amendments to Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (Evidence Act), the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and the Banker's Book Evidence Act, 1891, mainly recognizes transactions that are carried out by means of electronic data interchange and other means of electronic communications.

Top 10 Museums for Kids
John F. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, FL
Why play astronaut at nearby Walt Disney World when you can meet a real one at NASA's launch headquarters in Cape Canaveral, where daily astronaut-hosted lunches are part of the appeal? Indeed, the Kennedy Space Center has witnessed some of mankind's most spectacular technological achievements, and while the full astronomical scope might be lost on the little ones (and even on the "big" ones), exploring a full-size replica of the Explorer space shuttle and touching a moon rock are sure to provide kids with an experience that's truly out of this world. Even though the space shuttle program has been retired, if your timing's right at this top museum for kids, you might still get to watch a live launch or a rocket – the next scheduled launch here is set for October 25, 2012.

White Rabbit Lamp $95.00
- Comments Off
- Tweet
This White Rabbit Lamp is not taking any mess from anybody. What an adorable little lamp. We discovered these in Germany, and they have been worth the wait. The Rabbit stands 10" high, and is 8" from tail to nose, and this little bunny is kinda chunky, 5" wide. A very serious look can be seen if you look into the Rabbit's eyes. Regal, Cute, Sleek, Creepy? The White Rabbit Lamp is what you make it. Would look great in many settings, child's room to modern end table. The lamp is a made from nice thick plastic. The White Rabbit is almost chalk white when not lit up, once turned on, there is a soft warm glow about it. The cord has an on off switch, and is six feet long. What more is there to say here, its a freaking White Rabbit Lamp! We're talking Water Ship Down style.

Over the years, many professional athletes have publicly given glory to God for their accomplishments in their respective sports.
Rev. Greg Smith, a licensed therapist and author of the new book entitled Sports Theology, says the highest level of personal performance is achieved by utilizing our God-given gifts.
"Athletic gifts are no different than those of compassion, wisdom, leadership, etc," Smith explained in the book's introduction. "If we move away from God, or let things get between Him and us, we limit His power, which limits our potential."
In a recent interview with CBN News, Smith spoke about how God encourages us to "develop and maximize the gifts He has given us." Click play to watch the interview.

Hanse says the first time the entire group got together, on a cold winter day at a brick-oven pizzeria just down the road, he was struck by everyone's enthusiasm and command of their respective fields. "John found these people and brought them together," Hanse says, "and that passion and discussion continued whenever we would have a get-together. There was always a lot of good-natured ribbing. John loved the give and take."
A couple of years later, when the course finally opened, Mineck missed that level of engagement. "More than anything," reflects Hanse, "he just loved the process—the thought that went into it, how things were created. And while he was happy and excited once the course was done, I think he was sad because the process was finished." Jim Wagner, Hanse's design partner, remembers getting calls from Mineck while working on a subsequent project, the restoration of TPC Boston. "He wanted to come out and have some fun," Wagner says, "and to him having fun was hopping on equipment and building bunkers." Sure enough, Mineck joined Wagner at the site, and the designer found a job for him: operating an excavator to collapse the edges of a greenside bunker and give it a more natural look.
I returned to Boston Golf Club last May to see the new clubhouse and to get a feel for how things were going in Mineck's absence. Ketterson graciously found a place for me in the Member Mixer, a tournament that would be followed by a party to christen the clubhouse.
Despite ominous skies and a passing shower, the sixty-odd players in the field—hale New Englanders who know how to hit and move—made their way around the course in a brisk four hours. Afterward, they paid their caddies and headed to the locker room, which was newly finished and smelled like a cedar closet. They showered, threw on fresh shirts and walked over to the Main House, a cabin-in-the-woods-style clubhouse that many were seeing for the first time.
The building is purposefully modest; it was hominess that Mineck and Ketterson wanted most. They flew around the country visiting other clubs for inspiration, and their favorite was the understated farmhouse-style clubhouse at Chechessee Creek Club in Okatie, South Carolina. Borrowing on that model, the Main House sits unobtrusively on a ridge within a grove of trees. With red cedar siding, a screen porch and a pair of stone chimneys, it looks like a mountain cottage in Vermont. Already small, it's also divided into a series of intimate spaces: a billiard room, a library, a dining room of seven tables. "If a guy comes in on a winter morning," Hank Gilpin told me, "he can go into any room and he won't feel like he's twenty-five people shy of a comfortable place." Gilpin oversaw the clubhouse project after Mineck, dissatisfied with how it was taking shape, fired six architects and a seventh quit.
By design, there are no seats at the bar. Instead, a twenty-foot-long table runs along a wall of windows. The richly grained table is a halved log from a curly red oak felled on what became the ninth hole. Gilpin handcrafted eight organically shaped stools to go with it, and they face out onto the par-three eighteenth hole, creating a gallery for players finishing up, just as Mineck wished. "I want a little pressure out here," he used to say.
Among many clubhouse amenities Mineck planned but never got to enjoy is a rather quirky one that, naturally, he was proud of: an outdoor shower. Hidden for privacy by a rock wall, the shower is formed by blocks of granite, stacked chest-high, that were being discarded by Trinity Church in Boston. Anyone using the shower can see over to the eighteenth green.
In at least one respect, however, the clubhouse and a cottage built on the property haven't been outfitted entirely to Mineck's desires: both are furnished with televisions. Mineck disliked TV and would proudly state that he didn't have a single set in his home in Cohasset. A flat-screen in the Main House was tuned to a Red Sox game on the night of the Member Mixer. The cottage has multiple sets, reflecting, as one staff member quietly told me, the preference of Ketterson, who sometimes stays over in the cottage instead of driving home to his residence in Beacon Hill.
With the Main House and locker room now completed, along with that one cottage (more are planned), Ketterson says Boston Golf Club is attracting national members. He declined to disclose the cost of a national or a regular membership. When I asked him last fall whether the economic slowdown had affected the club, he said that despite hard times membership was continuing to grow. Current members include a cross- section of New England's athletic and business elite. In addition to Faxon, an honorary member and frequent visitor, the list includes Sean McDonough, the ABC/ESPN sportscaster and son of legendary Globe sportswriter Will McDonough, and Seth Waugh, CEO of Deutsche Bank Americas.
During the evening at the Member Mixer, no speeches or toasts were made in Mineck's honor, but his name came up often in conversation. Before going out to play that day, Carl Klumpp, a founding member who had met Mineck when they both worked for Gillette, rubbed a green Boston Golf Club cap that Mineck had been wearing at the time of his fatal accident. Klumpp keeps it in his locker and performs the ritual before every round. Once the dining room had filled and members began spilling into the library, Klumpp took in the scene and smiled. "John," he told me, "would have been thrilled."

Casinos as bad for you
I am happy that the Surrey casino proposal was rejected.
Once upon a time I was a responsible woman who had RRSPs, savings and plans for the future. All casinos have done for me … Continue reading

Nursing Facility User Fee Frequently Asked Questions
Filing Questions
1. What are the current user fee rates?
Please refer to Nursing Facility User Fee Regulations on the EOHHS website for the current rates.
2. There are four classes of facilities, class I, II, III and IV. How do I know which class my facility belongs in?
Your facility's class can be determined from the criteria in the regulation 114.5 CMR 12.00 which can be obtained in the regulations page on the Division's website.
If after referring to the regulation, you still are unable to determine which user fee rate is applicable to your facility, please call provider assistance at (617) 988-3297 or review the Facility Class Fee List in the regulations page of the Division's website.
3. The calculated user fee due is zero dollars since my facility is in class IV. Am I still required to complete and file the user fee form?
Yes, you are still required to complete and submit the form. The Division must collect the patient day regardless of whether or not you owe any user fee. Failure to complete and submit the form timely may result in a late filing penalty of $100.00 per day, for each day the submission is late.
4. Where do I report Medicare Advantage, Medicare + Choice, or Medicare Part C days?
These days should be reported as Medicare days. This includes the following plans: Medicare HMO Blue, Medicare PPO Blue, Fallon Senior Plan, Harvard First Seniority, Tufts Medicare Preferred, and Evercare Medicare Advantage (see below).
5. Where do I report PACE and SCO Days?
Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) and Senior Care Option (SCO) days should be reported under Medicare Days through the period ending January 31, 2005. Effective February 1, 2005, PACE and MassHealth SCO days should be reported as Massachusetts Medicaid days. This includes Commonwealth Care Alliance, Navicare, Senior Whole Health, and Evercare SCO (see below).
6. Where do I report Evercare Days?
It depends on the type of Evercare plan. Evercare offers a Medicare Advantage Plan and a Senior Care Options (SCO) Plan. Days for patients covered by the Medicare Advantage Plan should be reported as Medicare. Days for the SCO Plan should be reported under Massachusetts Medicaid.
7. Where do I report Hospice Days?
These days should be included in the total count of the primary insurance payer type. Please refer to the Nursing Facility User Fee: Hospice Days (Administrative Bulletin 03-18) for further clarification.
8. Where do I report patient days for patients who are insured by a Medicaid HMO?
These days should be reported under Medicaid Days.
9. What should I do about patient days that are reclassified by type after the reporting due date?
Please refer to the Nursing Facility User Fee: Census Adjustments due to changes in payer type (Administrative Bulletin 04-02) to determine how prior period census day adjustments should be reported.
10. How should I classify Non-Medicare nursing patient days for patients who have health coverage through regular commercial health insurance?
These days should be reported under Private Days.
11. Do I have to pay the user fee on days that I reserve a vacant bed day for a Non-Medicare resident?
It depends.
Nursing facilities must pay the user fee on all vacant days that are reserved for MassHealth residents except for the period of September 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004, regardless of whether or not MassHealth reimburses the nursing facility for those given days. Nursing facilities must pay the user fee on all vacant days that are reserved for all other Non-Medicare residents if it is customary for the facility to charge any amount of money to hold the vacant bed.
Payment Questions
12. There is no amount listed on the "Amount Enclosed" line on the Renewal Notice. How much should I pay?
The "Renewal Notice" is a payment coupon. The amount due is the calculated user fee amount from the "Nursing Facility Quarterly User Fee Form (QUF)".
13. I never received my Renewal Notice (payment coupon). How and where should I send my payments?
Send the check (made payable to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) along with a copy of the QUF to:
Center for Health Information and Analysis
2 Boylston St.
Boston, MA 02116
Note: Please write the name of the nursing facility (if not already on the check) and the FEIN on the top of the check.
14. The Renewal Notice that I received has the wrong name on it? How do I get this corrected?
Mail the following items to the Center for Health Information and Analysis, 2 Boylston St., Boston, MA 02116:
- The Commonwealth of MA Substitute W-9 form with original signature
- The Secretary of State filing on the name change
- A brief letter describing the reason for a name change
- A brief letter on company letterhead stating that the name changed from ___ to____
15. The Renewal Notice has the wrong FEIN on it. How do I get this corrected?
Complete and mail a new Nursing Facility Demographic Form with the correct information noting that the original FEIN is incorrect to the Center for Health Information and Analysis, 2 Boylston St., Boston, MA 02116, Attn: Admin/Rating Group.
16. I want to send my payment overnight mail, but FedEx doesn't deliver to post office boxes. What is the overnight payment address?
The overnight payment address has changed as follows:
Center for Health Information and Analysis
2 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02116
Please call the Provider Assistance hotlline at 617-988-3297 if you need any assistance or clarification.
Note: This address should be used for overnight mail only. Regular first class mail should not be sent to the overnight payment address, as this will cause a delay in receipt of the mail.
17. I want to send my payment certified mail, do I still mail the payment to the address on the front of the payment coupon?
No, only regular mail should be sent to the lockbox address on the front of the payment coupon. Any time that you are sending mail which requires a signature of receipt, please send the payment overnight using the overnight payment address in number 16 above.
18. I need to forward my Renewal Notice (payment coupon) to my management company for payment processing. Can I FAX them a copy of the Renewal Notice or do I have to send the original?
If the management company is mailing the payment on your behalf, you must send the original Renewal Notice (payment coupon) to your management company. The reason for this is that the bank scans the bar code from the Renewal Notice (payment coupon) to record receipt of your payment. The bar codes on copies of Renewal Notices (payment coupon) can not be scanned. This is why it is very important to send the original Renewal Notice (payment coupon) along with your payment. You could request that your original renewal notice be sent directly to your management company to remove this middle step. Your management company could then forward you a copy.
19. I am a management company submitting one check for 20 nursing facilities. However, I have only received 18 Renewal Notices. What should I do?
Mail one check for the total combined User Fee for the 18 Renewal Notices that you have received to the lock box address on the Renewal Notice (payment coupon). The total amount of the check must equal the combined total amount recorded on the Renewal Notices. Otherwise the bank will not be able to post your payment. You will need to send a separate check for each nursing facility for which you do not have a Renewal Notice. The name of the nursing home and the FEIN (Federal Tax Identification Number) must be written on the top of each check for which you do not have a Renewal Notice. Payments made without a Renewal Notice should be mailed to:
Center for Health Information and Analysis
2 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02116

Reid Ridgway
Managing Director
Reid Ridgway graduated from UCSC with a B.A. in Film and Video Production. After gaining experience as the marketing director for Reflective Arts division of Optical Media International, Reid founded Watershed Communications a digital media production company, specializing in strategic marketing, brand identity, and initial product launch. For 13 years, Watershed Communications catered to a long list of fortune 500 Silicon Valley and Entertainment Giants.
Reid produced and directed projects for Apple Computer, IBM, Media Vision, National Semiconductor, Grass Valley Group, Steven Spielberg, MCA Records and blues legend B.B. King (winning a Silver Award from New Media Magazine), EMI Records, Bose Audio, and many others. He also authored many technical papers, a five unit university course entitled Digital Audio Production for Film Students, and contributed to an O'Rielly book entitled Audio for the Web. In his final project with Watershed, Reid produced and directed a three part Interactive Documentary on the early settlement of the Wisconsin Pinery. The product is distributed to the state educational system, and has been hailed by many education professionals as a break-through teaching tool, bringing history to life.
3 years prior to the Tsunami, Reid had semi-retired in Thailand, where he began a new life dabbling as a freelance jounalist and professional scuba instructor, enjoying the big change of pace.
When the Tsunami devestated Southern Thailand, the pace swept him up again. Reid took immediate action to help people. He has never stopped, and has built the ETC with incredible drive, talent and vision. And though the work has never stopped, he would be the first to say that choosing a path of helping others beats the stressful life of the corporate executive
—hands down.
Wendy Firlotte
Associate Director
Wendy was an early arrival in Thailand's tsunami relief effort and has interfaced with nearly everyone involved at one point or another. She was the envrionmental coordinator for the Tsuanmi Volunteer Center, and came to ETC in the second year. Wendy is exceptional in too many ways to describe here. She is one of those rare people that gets things done before anyone else has noticed it needs doing. She is part of the fabric of ETC.
A Bachelor's degree in Geology; Post-Graduate Diploma in Environmental Management; Master's Degree in Sustainable Development; experience working for vocational training programs in Vietnam and Thailand; and experience with NGO project development, implementation and management makes her the perfect resource for ETC mission to become an effective, respected, and self sustaining organization.
Onuma "On" Dawreang
Program Director -
Scuba Instruction
On came to the ETC as a student in the second season. She couldn't swim and she couldn't speak English. After graduation, she was selected as one of 6 students to attend an Instructor Development Course and become dive instructor through PADI Course Director Chris Owen. She has since come back to provide training to the 3rd and 4th year students and has worked her way to IDC staff instructor, Master Scuba Diver Trainer, and Emergency First Response Instructor. On has done extensive work on her English language skills and now acts as a translator and interpretor for ETC. She manages the dive training program, and handles the logistical needs of ETC. On has become an incredible asset and important example of what ETC is all about.
Noppharat "Cougar" Puangrangsard
Administration Manager - Computer Instruction
Cougar has been instrumental in the ETC's tremendous success story, from the moment it was an idea to the present. She is the glue and the magic behind the organization. She translates all documents, she teaches computer skills, she handles all the Thai communications, she designs the logos and other graphic art, she's the librarian, the filer, the presence on the phone, and it would be impossible to have an ETC without her.
Cougar is a creative at heart, and her passionate is expressed in computer illustration, and hand drawings and painting.

Howdy everyone, hope you've been well and not having too cold temps, hope this to be the last cold spell of the season, 28 deg in here now, near New Orleans.
My Coreopsis (Plains and Sweet Dreams) are looking damaged but will make a come back. I saved flowerheads that were brown but not dried, not wanting them to freeze. Question is, how long does it take for seeds to form from the time flowers bloom off? How long should I have left them on the plant? good day to all,
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Bea, I leave them on the plant until the seed heads are almost totally brown. I let them dry for a week or two after I pick them before storing the seeds. We're having a heat wave here. It's 22. Louise |

We've been documenting the ongoing hoopla surrounding the trading of Ryan Dempster, so it seems as though we'd be remiss if we didn't continue down that surprisingly long and winding road with the latest bit of news. This time it comes from Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports who spoke with a source suggesting that the roadblock to the proposed Atlanta Braves/Chicago Cubs deal had little to do with Dempster's hurt widdle feewings, and a whole lot more to do with his preference for playing in Los Angeles for the Dodgers.
Unfortunately, the Dodgers don't have the horses in their system that would allow them to trade a Randall Delgado type. Yes, they do have 2010 first rounder Zach Lee in their system, but after that, there's a drop off in talent. According to Rosenthal, it also seems as though the Dodgers are in the mix for other pitchers which lessens their eagerness to acquire Dempster a week before the trade deadline.
This puts the Cubs in a bit of a sticky situation. If the team can't unload Dempster to the Dodgers, it not only removes a potential trading partner, it lessens the amount of leverage Chicago had originally going into negotiations with the Braves. If they come back to Atlanta at this point, they're unlikely to find the Delgado offer still on the table.
What does all this teach us? No-trade rights are jerk faces for organizations.
Earlier I suggested that perhaps Dempster was gaming the system a little bit to increase the fee for his waiving of the no-trade rights. Now, it looks more like a masterful plan by the Braves front office:
Step 1: Leak the proposed deal before it goes to Dempster.
Step 2: Force the pitcher to reject the trade.
Step 3: Hope it comes out that Los Angeles is Dempster's preferred destination.
Step 4: Know that when an offer comes back from the Cubs, it means the Dodgers have nothing to offer.
Step 5: Low ball and acquire yourself a starting pitcher to round out the rotation for the year while keeping another pitcher who will round out your rotation in the future.
Geniuses. Now, if they can just manage to get rid of Fredi Gonzalez.

In some moods, Thompson denied he was a reporter at all. "I'm a writer," he told Playboy. "Nobody gives Norman Mailer this kind of shit. I've never tried to pose as a goddamn reporter. I don't defend what I do in the context of straight journalism." But he never denied he was some kind of journalist; it was just that he was ambivalent about the whole enterprise. "The best people in journalism"—David Halberstam and Harrison Salisbury were two he always praised—"I've never had a quarrel with. I am a journalist, and I've never met, as a group, any tribe I'd rather be a part of or that are more fun to be with." Or so he told McKeen in 1990. Two years earlier, in his introduction to A Generation of Swine, he'd written that "I have spent half my life trying to get away from journalism, but I am still mired in it—a low trade and a habit worse than heroin, a strange seedy world of misfits and drunkards and failures." (Gee, Hunter, you say it like it's a bad thing.) Thompson was hardly the consummate professional: editors often had to piece together and sequence the fragments he turned in for publication. On the other hand, he was a meticulous stylist, seldom if ever guilty of grammatical lapses, and his reputation—richly deserved—as a drug-crazed Lord of Misrule obscured a more-than-Protestant work ethic. He often started writing after everyone else had turned in or passed out, but he knew "you've got to have pages in the morning. I measure my life in pages. If I have pages at dawn, it's been a good night."
Thompson's great journalistic innovation, though, was to subvert the very idea of journalism. In his best work, the real story was Thompson getting the story—as in Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 and even in his far more conventional 1966 book Hell's Angels—or better still, failing to get it, as in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. After snagging an assignment to cover a motorcycle race in the desert for Sports Illustrated (which rejected the copy he turned in), Thompson traveled to Vegas with Oscar Zeta Acosta, an activist Chicano attorney and fellow drug aficionado whom he was trying to interview for another piece, and ran amok. "We were somewhere near Barstow," his report began, "on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold." What follows is a phantasmagoria involving speeding cars, casinos, drug abuse, a National District Attorneys
Conference on drug abuse, the "American Dream"—on which subject Thompson had been contracted to do a book for Random House, and which turned out to be the name of a burned-down nightclub—and, incidentally, the Mint 400 motorcycle race. Thompson calls himself Raoul Duke; Acosta has become a Samoan named Dr. Gonzo. The expenses they ran up, according to McKeen, caused American Express to ban Thompson for life. As to its journalistic value, the whole book is, as they say, too good to check.
Thompson, for whom modesty was no virtue, called Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a "masterwork . . . . It's as good as The Great Gatsby and better than The Sun Also Rises." We can argue about the merits of this comparison, but it's telling that he chose to measure his work against two novels. (Fear and Loathing has been called a novel, but not by Thompson himself.) To think of fiction as a nobler calling is the journalist's traditional mode of self-disparagement—the novel-in-the-drawer syndrome—and Thompson, an original in most other respects, took the cliché to heart. In 1979, journalist Toby Thompson (no relation) plucked up his courage and told him: " 'Everything you publish these days seethes with a contempt you bring to journalism.' Hunter stared at me. 'There are not many people who get that,' he said." As a young writer, Thompson would type out passages from Faulkner and Hemingway to absorb their styles; when he was in his sixties, he still felt "I was basically meant for higher things. Novels." His first serious work, in 1961, was a novel called The Rum Diary, which he finally published, in much-revised form (and to little acclaim) in 1999. In a 1993 interview for Spin, Thompson told Kevin Simonson, "I always had and still do have an ambition to write fiction. I've never had any real ambition within journalism, but events and fate and my own sense of fun keep taking me back for money, political reasons, and because I'm a warrior."

Owners of the LTE variant of the Nexus 7 2013 have kind of been left out in the cold when it comes to the latest Android updates. While most of the other current Nexus devices (including the WiFi version of the same tablet) are running Android 4.4.4, a lot of N7 LTE users are still back on 4.4.2. Those who know their way around a bootloader can install the factory image for 4.4.3, but until now there was no standard over-the-air update.
You know how this goes - new software is sent out for a Nexus device, so posts on the Google factory image and binary repositories aren't far behind. The Nexus 7 LTE is the only Google device that's had an OTA update for a while, so today's additions are small: a single file on the Factory Images page and three binary files for the various hardware components.
Google was kind enough to label them "Verizon," in addition to the standard KVT49L label for Android 4.4.2.
Six months and nineteen days. It's been exactly that long since Hugo Barra announced the new Nexus 7 in a press conference, including an unlocked LTE model that works with Verizon 4G bands. It's been almost five months since that particular model went on sale, and about as long since eager users found out that they couldn't activate a new Verizon Wireless account with the tablet, which wasn't included in Verizon's device database.
After a lonesome stint on the US Play Store (and various random retailers across the world) with only T-Mobile SIMs available, the LTE Nexus 7 is now available on the Play Store in nine countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, UK, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Here's a URL that should work to get to the product listing.
The US version is available with AT&T and T-Mobile SIMs, but as some have suspected, Verizon SIMs remain MIA, and may for the foreseeable future.
This is definitely one of the highlights of today's Nexus 7 presentation for me: multi-network LTE support in one device. No mucking about with carrier-specific models. This is really great, assuming your carrier is supported.
The new Nexus 7, if you opt for the LTE model, will support LTE data connectivity on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. That's just kind of awesome. There are some potential caveats, though. Google did not elaborate on which frequencies were specifically supported, or if 3G support would be available on all three networks.

"I followed the recipe to a T - ended up with one giant cookie (even though I spaced the cookies 3 inches apart) that stuck to the parchment paper I had sprayed with pan spray. I was really looking forward to enjoying these, but I can't get them off the pan."""

I have a TON of Crocosmia on my property, only a small number of the plants that have grown quite large (e.g. 18" tall) bloom, the rest do not. They multiply like crazy everywhere, I have groups that are probably 50 bulbs due to them multiplying like rabbits but in many cases NONE of the bulbs in the group are blooming although height-wise often they are probably 10" tall or so.
So how mature do Crocosmia have to be before they bloom? I have them in a variety of lighting conditions all over, started with a handful of bulbs but now they have all multiplied into large groups. The plants ALL look healthy, it's the blooming is the issue... I live in the Seattle/Tacoma area. Thanks in advance! |

Many Croscomia multiply so fast, they can crowd themselves out and stop blooming. If your Croscomia aren't blooming, that is what I would suspect. I would suggest that you thin them. There are a few slow crowders out there. C. 'Jenny Bloom' is one of the best. |
Sometimes light levels can be a problem. They do well under trees but only the ones at the edges , where there's more light, actually flower. The other problem that comes to mind is - they're too well-fed. For example - in many places here it's a weed. Along river banks, in silt, and with leaf litter from willows, they grow like grass with few flowers. Vegetative reproduction works too well. However, floods shift some bulbs out onto the shingle. They don't proliferate to the same degree - and they do flower, with strong colour. Well-drained. Full sun. Low nutrients. Reliable water at the roots. Perfect drainage. spazzycat 1: did you have your tongue firmly in your cheek when you mentioned 'thinning'? Be prepared to dig down many inches to remove the multiple old corms that form like a string of beads. And the long, pointy runners that gleefully go through other bulbs on the way to Crocosmia bliss. Totally agree with you, however. They need thinning before they sneak through the garden. |

vetivert8, I've found that I can effectively "thin" most established clumps by pulling out individual plants rather than digging up the entire clump and replanting. This is best done in the fall, but if you wait too long, the plant will separate from the corm when you tug it. |
One of my gardens had such a problem with spreading Crocosmia that I had to dig the whole area and pass the soil through 1/2 inch hardware cloth to remove the corms. For the next couple of years I dug up the individual plants as quickly as they appeared. When they get into a low ground cover they can be a real nuisance. Al |

credit cards...devils in disguise?
Anyway, fast forward a few years and I'm thisclose to finishing paying off my dumb credit card bills after tearing them all up (wooo hoo!), which makes me really happy. It was a long, slow, painful process (I was basically in shopping rehab) but I know it will feel really good not to get a ton of bills in the mail anymore. I really learned my lesson about spending frivolously: don't buy it if you don't have the cash, and don't buy it if you don't absolutely, positively LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I don't want to sound like having a credit card is a bad thing (it's actually a GOOD thing, if you're very responsible!), but I'm a really good example of credit gone wrong.
So tell me, are any of you battling the debt monster? It's so weird, because years ago I'd only ever hear of middle aged people being in debt...now, it seems like people with financial problems are getting younger and younger.

A simple hat from a sweater.
Take an old sweeter and cut the bottom of one side (choose the one that looks better :D The height of the square is about 25 cm.
Now fringe it. Leave the bottom of the sweeter. It looks good at it is. It will be around your face.
Place it the good eyes facing you. the bottom of the sweeter should be at the bottom too :) Now fold it to the left and sew as shown. Sew the top and 1/3 on the left side.
Fringe or crochet the unsewed side once more using a thicker thread.
Add details if you want. I added some tassels. It's done :)

When Yao Ming and Aaron Brooks went down early in the season with injuries and the Rockets had a 5-12 record after 17 games, it looked like another hard-luck lost season in Houston. While Yao is out for the season (and possibly forever), Aaron Brooks is back in the lineup and the Rockets have won 10 of their last 14 games — they were on a five-game winning streak before losing by six points to the Heat on Wednesday.
Since they're only two wins behind Portland for eighth seed in the Western Conference and they have the smart GM-coach combo of Daryl Morey and Rick Adelman running the team, I'll be surprised if the Rockets don't make the playoffs this season. They have to be in that mindset as well, and I assume that they'll be dialed in to play an injury-depleted Raptors team in Houston tonight. I expect this to be quite the opposite style of the Raptors' low-scoring victory in Dallas on Tuesday — both teams will probably score over 100 points and the game will be decided by who can make key stops in the fourth quarter.
Injury report
Toronto: OK, deep breath… Jose Calderon, Jerryd Bayless and Amir Johnson will be game-time decisions. Sonny Weems is probably out. Andrea Bargnani, Reggie Evans and Peja Stojakovic are definitely out. What's that, half the freakin' roster? Hey, at least we've got an excuse for why this team stinks, right? No?
Houston: Chuck Hayes sprained his ankle in practice yesterday and he's expected to miss the next two to four weeks. Yao Ming is out for the season, and we may never see him play NBA basketball again. :(
Five questions
1. After Ed Davis' performance (17 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks, three steals) in the Raptors' upset over the Mavericks on Tuesday, do you think he could be Toronto's best draft pick since Chris Bosh in 2003?
2. Did any of you want Bryan Colangelo to draft Patrick Patterson instead of Ed Davis? Patterson has played 15 minutes for the Rockets so far this season.
3.With Houston's recent troubles over the past two seasons, would you swap GMs with them if you could?
4.With all the Raptors' injuries, will we see some Solomon Alabi action if the Raptors are getting blown out late in the game?
5. Who would be your choice for starting center of an NBA all-redneck team: Brad Miller or Chris Kaman?
Start time: 7:00 PM ET
Channel: Sportsnet One
Probable starting lineups
Toronto: Jerryd Bayless, DeMar DeRozan, Linas Kleiza, Joey Dorsey, Amir Johnson
Houston: Kyle Lowry, Kevin Martin, Shane Battier, Luis Scola, Brad Miller
I'm pretty sure there won't be a Raptorblog recap for this game because, well, you do know what tonight is, right? For the pregame song, I offer up this dude playing "Auld Lang Syne" on the banjo — it gets good at around the 50-second mark, as far as banjo playing goes. Have a fun, safe time tonight.

I've spent a fair bit of time on this blog talking about shot blocking, and there seems to be a consensus on it for the most part: blocking shots is better than allowing them to go through to the net, but it's better if the opponent isn't in your end with the puck to begin with.
Through the first three games of this year's Stanley Cup Finals, the shot clock has painted a picture of two teams spending similar amounts of time in the offensive zone. Tossing missed shots and blocked shots in with shots taken, neither team was able to put much more rubber on the opposition net than the other.
That changed in Game Four, although a cursory look at the shot clock doesn't show it:
- Shots: Chicago 34 to Philadelphia 30
- Even-strength shots: Chicago 24 to Philadelphia 20
- Even-strength shots + missed shots: Chicago 33 to Philadelphia 26
Despite the closeness of those numbers, when we toss in blocked shots we see that Chicago fired significantly more rubber at Michael Leighton than Philadelphia did at Antti Niemi. At even-strength, the Flyers were forced to block 23 shots. The Blackhawks blocked just six.
Kimmo Timonen led the way for Philly with five blocks. For the Blackhawks, Brent Sopel blocked five shots while the rest of the team combined for six.
Put another way, at even-strength Philadelphia got 81.25% of their shots through, and 62.5% of the shots they fired required a save. Chicago got just 58.9% of their shots through, and only 42.9% of those required a save.
Chicago managed to spend more time in the offensive zone than the Flyers, but shot-blocking made up a good portion of the difference.
