The Wanted Channel Boy Bands of Past in 'Walks Like Rihanna' Video
The Wanted take a trip down music video memory lane in their new video for "Walks Like Rihanna."
Watch the First Look of "The Wanted Life" Reality Series
The quirky video starts off with the boys meeting with their music video director who, of course, walks like Rihanna. They're impressed by her hotness, but as it turns out, she's not a very good director.
They try several hilariously bad concepts for their video, paying homage to old music videos from *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. Eventually they figure out that their own ideas are better, but not after some pretty funny blasts from the past!
The Wanted's Siva: Nathan's Vocal Cord Recovery Has Been "Difficult"
It's a music video about making a music video featuring other music videos … feels kind of like Inception!
The single for "Walks Like Rihanna" is set for release on June 23, but check out the cute video above.

Burglar Busted After Not Closing Facebook
SOUTH ST. PAUL, NJ (AP) -- Police didn't have to work hard to catch a man who broke into a Minnesota house.
First the burglar failed to log out of Facebook after checking his profile on the homeowner's computer. Then he agreed to meet up with homeowner James Wood in an effort to get back wet clothes he'd left behind.
Wood tells WCCO-TV the burglar has to be the "world's dumbest criminal."
South St. Paul police say the burglar took credit cards, cash and a watch last week.
Wood posted his phone number on the burglar's Facebook page, hoping someone would call.
The burglar himself texted Wood and agreed to meet with the homeowner, thinking he could negotiate for his clothes. When Wood spotted the burglar, he recognized him from Facebook and called police.

The audience -- most of whom paid $100 for admittance -- consisted of a handful of newspersons and approximately 140 hard-core Elvis fans who didn't seem overly interested in an intellectualized examination of Elvis Presley's place in the annals of American history. To them, as well as to the 40,000 or so additional fans who gathered in Memphis in mid-August to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Presley's death, Elvis's place in history -- American or otherwise -- had long since been settled. The basic terms of that settlement as it presently exists are very simple, really. Here's what the uninitiated need to know:
First of all, Elvis was and always will be the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. What else could possibly explain the thousands of perfectly lucid Elvis junkies hanging around Graceland these past five days, or the other 60,000 paying customers who traipse through Presley's colorfully appointed 23-room mansion each year, making it, after the White House, the second-most visited home in the United States? What else explains Elvis's recent reappearance in mainstream pop culture via the animated Disney flick Lilo & Stitch and the unlikely chart-topping success of Dutch DJ Junkie XL's remix of "A Little Less Conversation," an otherwise forgettable ditty that Presley tossed off in 1967? Sales of Elvis's records (singles, LPs, EPs and CDs) have now surpassed a billion, which amounts to just about one record for every man, woman and child living on mainland China. Even now, 25 years after his untimely death, Elvis is loved, revered and, in isolated cases, worshiped by right-thinking human beings the world over. According to his fans, only one thing explains all that: Again, Elvis was and always will be the King. And that's his place in history.
Undeterred by this sort of unassailable logic, a gray-haired and casually attired Greil Marcus stepped to the podium of the Fogelman Center to deliver the seminar's keynote address. Marcus is no dummy, nor is he a sentimental fool. His chapter on Elvis in his 1975 book Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock 'n' Roll Music still stands as a wonderfully measured, unsurpassed milestone of Presley-related cultural critique. Nonetheless, among Elvis fans who are acquainted with his work, he is not considered a true celebrant, at least not a celebrant of their stripe. He is, in fact, regarded as something of a party pooper. Certainly, his address at Elvis Week 2002 did nothing to convince fans otherwise.
Marcus's opening remarks included his contention that all of the hoopla in Memphis surrounding the 25th anniversary of Elvis's death was one colossal "media mirage" cynically manufactured by the brain trust of Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., the business entity headed by Elvis's daughter, Lisa Marie, that manages the Presley estate and the commercial licensing of all Presley product. He then proceeded to criticize Presley's ex-wife, Priscilla -- who, along with Lisa Marie and EPE CEO Jack Soden, is largely to blame for the aforementioned media mirage -- for her transparently exploitative plans to adapt her lifeless memoir, Elvis and Me, to the Broadway stage. None of this talk endeared Marcus to the fans, of course, but at least he hadn't yet laid into Elvis himself. That soon changed.
The critic began speculating on the disappearance of Elvis from popular culture -- Lilo & Stitch and novelty dance remixes notwithstanding. He discussed Presley's early embrace of black culture and then his apparent dismissal of it not long after fame came calling. Where was Memphis's most famous citizen when Coretta Scott King marched through town four days after her husband was assassinated there, during a bitter sanitation workers' strike, in 1968? He was on the West Coast, Marcus replied, answering his own question, overseeing the installation of a new gate in front of his Belair home. "He had changed the world, but he had become a creature who couldn't be changed by it," Marcus intoned, thereby implying that Presley had been either unconcerned with or simply oblivious to the civil rights movement. Either way, according to Marcus, such negligence amounted to circumstantial evidence. It was proof, in other words, if any further proof was needed by then, that Elvis was no longer a player -- not in any meaningful or relevant sense -- on the American cultural scene. Then he delivered his verdict: "When you've made history and then you leave history, history takes its revenge on you."
Thus constituted Marcus's admirable stab at explaining Elvis's popular legacy today as a fat, wasted, supremely narcissistic hayseed who left behind nothing of consequence to a world that, unknowingly, would remain forever in his debt.

Hi All,
So I'm having so much fun with the hybrids, they're all so beautiful and different. I'm watching the "Graffiti" develop as we speak and I am so intrigued by the beautiful brushstrokes of crimson red on the yellow green backdrop of the tepals. I think this hybrid obviously involves Hippeastrum papilio and I have a strong feeling a lot of the yellow coloring and the characteristics of the style and stigma and the overall design of the flower (look towards the center of both flowers) resembles Hippeastrum macbrideii which is a very rare species from Peru. I'm still waiting on my H. macbrideii to bloom, it was collected in Sandia, Peru and it's truly a beautiful species. Here is the picture of my Hippeastrum "Graffiti" Here is a link to Hippeastrum macbrideii, maybe others can see the similarities that I see. (This is from viewing earlier pictures of "Graffiti" in bloom) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hippeastrum macbrideii
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like it's going to be a beauty...can't wait to see it. I just loved mine and Grafitti is quite possibly the "daddy" of my Papilio seedlings which are doing quite well...I'm sure you have great plans for it's pollens as I'm sure there will be plenty.... Donna |
Sorry, I think I spelled it wrong...Graffiti.... |

Josh You captured the beauty of one of my faves. The H. Papilio influenced hybrids are among my treasured Hippies. I'm so glad you joined us on the on the "dark side". ;-) Jim |
- Posted by joshy46013 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 13:32
Jim, Thanks :) I'm really loving the dark side, let me tell ya! I've pollinated "Graffiti" with Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium, we will see if this yields any seed!?! I'm hoping as the H. papilio influence may transpose and I could ONLY imagine what the outcome could be :) Josh |
Josh, Very Very Lovely....You have arrived.........Don't you just love the Papilio shape? Is the color true on these pictures because I think mine bloomed a bit more on the yellow side....but as I look at it again I can see a little pink in yours so I'm thinking it is just your camera....just beautiful!! Donna |
- Posted by joshy46013 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 14:35
Donna, Mine is a bit more green actually. My camera photographed it more white, I'm assuming the coloring of the *LIGHT* bulbs in the room I took the picture isn't correct for picture taking. It isn't too off, but enough for me to notice :) I think I need a bit more of a "soft" yellow in the room. |

Hi guys, I edit the pictures so the pink wasn't as prominent, the computer is showing the pictures differently than my camera but I think I've got it figured out :) |
Josh, The first one is still quite pink, try taking some more pictures in the day time without the black background...with and without the flash. I must say your flowers have an exquisite shape..their form is outstanding. Mine were rather strangely misshapen but I chalked it up to their being stressed. The color on mine is true though, as I don't edit the colors on any of my photos, I just keep taking pictures until I get what I think is true. Hope you don't mind my posting my pictures on your thread. I can't wait to have a bloom on a well rooted bulb...my bulb sat all summer without leaves, I thought it was a gonner, I pulled it out of the pot and it was well rooted so I just continued to wait, and about 6 weeks ago it finally started to leaf out. I am very relieved. I think they will be outstanding next time... this tiny flower is a favorite. Donna

Donna, The pictures I have posted now on my screen are almost identical in color. I wonder if it's my screen? I've noticed the shape of mine is a bit different than a lot of others I have seen, I would love to swap pollen next time they bloom? Or when I get a bulblet I would be more than happy to send it to you!? I wonder if it's possible that there were more than one form they used out of the bunch of seedlings when they were picking? IDK I will take more pictures tomorrow outside :) Josh |
- Posted by joshy46013 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 22, 10 at 21:07
Here is another picture where you can see the coloring of the reticulation. AND DONNA, of course I don't mind if you post your pictures here, it makes me happy :) |
See how much sharper the red lines are on yours...it will be interesting to compare the next time mine blooms. Anyway, you've hot one beautiful flower there, and now I bet you wish you had ordered more than one! Donna |
Hello! The differential appearances of the flowers does only reflect the variability, that it is already being perceived in the florets of H.papilio. Depending on the state of the bulb, and on the environmental conditions. |
- Posted by joshy46013 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 23, 10 at 10:58
Donna, I know, I'm kicking myself now :( It's just beautiful and even more so in person! I've pollinated 5 times now with Hippeastrum reticulatum var. striatifolium, we will see how it goes! Josh |
- Posted by e36yellowm3 7 Raleigh, NC (My Page) on Sat, Oct 23, 10 at 15:16
Josh, that bloom is beautiful - you can clearly see Papilio in it. Donna, can't wait to see the re-bloom on yours. Do you think they bloom better when they're more established? I guess because of the way I grow mine they never are, so just wondering if that changes things. Alana |
- Posted by joshy46013 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 23, 10 at 19:37
Alana, I do think that they'll bloom a bit better when they're more established, yes, but I think they bloom well if they're unpotted and repotted in the spring. I think the most important thing is that they get a good season of growth so they're strong enough to bloom. I've read several places that Hippeastrum start producing their inflorescence two seasons in advance, does anyone have more information on this topic? Josh |
I do think they will bloom fine if potted and unpotted as long as they've a nice long, hot. well fed summer in the sun. My bulb was stressed when I bought it and very tiny. I have no boubt that once it has many months with leaves to nourish the bulb it will do beautifully...much better than it's first show. Although I will say I think there were more than 5 flowers on at least one of the two stalks. The color was great though, quite yellow. Lots to look forward to but I don't expect my Graffiti to bloom until next year as the leaves just started to grow after all summer growing roots. Strange, but it seems alright now. It even appears to have a bulbet starting, one lone leaf against the edge of the pot.....can't think of anything prettier than a whole pot of these! |
"start producing their inflorescence two seasons in advance" AFAIK this applies for the African branch of the Amaryllids. I found it attributed to Nerine and Amaryllis belladonna at least. The essential Q is "from what timepoint on can you exactly state that a bud had been initiated" I can present a PRACTICAL point of consideration THOUGH, that I presume to be helping on this occasion NAMELY: A new bud is being initiated in the axil of a semisheating leaf (it forms but one half of a bulb scale at its basis). The VERY next leaf is emerging to the SAME side. If you watch carefully, the size array of a bunch of new leaves that it is just poking out of a bulb does generally reveal that two CONSECUTIVE leaves grow to the same side. You will obtain the best flower presentation from bulbs that you do not "lift" (unpot) these. I obtained the most PERFECT results from mother bulbs with daughter bulbs attached, and replanted as a whole into a bigger container, for example with "Appleblossom" flowers with 30 cm in diameter, just EPIC. You will also have excellent results when you unpot and repot just immediately prior to forcing, provided that you do not damage the roots too much. |
Hi, Hans, Thank you for your helpful (as always) information...My Graffiti's roots are already filling up the entire pot which it only 5" deep x 4" wide..there is still at least 3/4 to 1 inch of room around the bulb to the inside of the pot as can be seen in my picture. Would I be wise to leave it in it's current pot or move it to a larger pot now. The leaves are only 7" tall so it has a lot more leaf growing to do. The roots are showing at the bottom hole of the pot. I was going to re-pot it to a larger pot next summer, or should I do it now. Thanks, Your advice is always appreciated....! Donna |
Graffiti's roots are already filling up the entire pot Good to read this! This behaviour is fortunate and it reflects the genetic handwriting of H.papilio IF Graffiti produces reliably 2 scapes and/OR 4 flowers per scape from mature bulbs, then I must absolutely obtain one specimen! All-the-more IF this beautiful hybrid is capable of producing numerous seeds - VIABLE seeds notabene! |
Re-plant it into a bigger container. The more you wait the more difficult will it become to pull the plant out, on the whole. Hippeastrums that start growing or are growing do not resent for becoming replanted, quite the opposite. |
Will Do... Thanks, Donna |
- Posted by joshy46013 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 24, 10 at 16:52
Hans, My bulb had 3 blooms and I'm sure that 4 wouldn't be quite uncommon. It had the starts of a fourth bloom but it didn't quite fill out properly! I'm for sure going to hold onto this one as a breeding parent, we'll see how the seed comes along with the H. reticulatum var. striatifolium, hopefully It produces. On another note, my pods on my selfed Hippeastrum reticulatum var. s. are about to pop! I'd say two to three more weeks and they'll be ready :) Josh |
So..... that's common for them to sit all summer with no leaves.... plenty of roots though...and I worried all summer for nothing. Mine has also has sent out 6/7 luxurious leaves. I was really pleased with the color of mine and also the picotee was quite strong. Now if the shape of this year's blooms are like your and Josh's I'll be in seventh heaven...!and...mine is having a baby...! Donna |
This is a beautiful cultivar. I'll add a few of my photos. Mine have bloomed out more "lime" green than yellow. And, as Maria says, most have produced 2 scapes and more than 2 blooms per scape. It is a delightful little bloomer. Jim |
- Posted by joshy46013 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 28, 10 at 15:03
Beautiful :) I really want more now! |
I just love everyone's pictures!! Some of you seem to have many more than one....and the height of the stem.... Jim... are some of yours sitting on something or is the height that variable. I think this is just one of the prettiest little flowers. Well, I may only have one, but as I said mine is having a baby....and he/she may already be a proud Papa, only time will tell..... Donna |
Donna, The height of mine is really variable. I have 2 pots of 3 bulbs and 2 pots of 2 bulbs. I did notice an odd feature of the growing scapes. Most (but not all) of the tallest scapes had 2 flowers. Those with more than 2 flowers had shorter stems. And, to further muddy the waters about Graffiti's growth habits, the tallest scapes were in windows with the greatest amount of direct sunlight! Jim |

The Jersey Shore Season Three premiere recap: Snooki gets duplicated
The gang's all here -- well, minus Angelina and plus the new and terrifying, droopy-eyed Snooki part two, Deena -- and after a stint in Miami, they're back at the actual Jersey Shore. Thank God. Meet Jersey's newbie, Deena.
The only difference since the last time around in Seaside Heights, it seems, are the whip upgrades -- the crew arrives from their Long Island and suburban Jersey homes in spanking new Caddies, Rover trucks and Beamers. Vinny may be famous and have a nice ride, but he's got no shame in the fact that in the Shore off-season, he still lives with his mom. This is also why, for the third year in a row, he still comes off like a nice guy. Even if he broke Snooki's heart last season.
On the way to the shore, Snooki utilizes the drive to prep her BFF and "surprise" new cast member Deena (whom Sammi later painfully nicknames' "Gremlin") on the dudes -- i.e., who she's going to want to bone. You know, the important stuff. Not to worry: Snooki is still the same old furry-slipper-donning mini-diva she's always been, but this season her hair has reached new heights and her skin is orange as hell. Greasy friend-twin Deena is already drunk, priming herself for what could be the worst 24 hours of her life.
Flash to the Situation, who, when leaving his home seems to be saying goodbye to a girlfriend -- though this is unclear. Vinny and Pauly D. say goodbye to their moms, and everyone is happily on the road to be reunited. Sammi and Ronnie are still together, and are the first to arrive at the old family haunt. It's like nothing has changed -- same house, same mallard duck phone, same stereotypical Scarface poster on the wall. (It's like MTV forgot how excited people get when they see freshly constructed IKEA and tacky/trendy light fixtures.)
Sammi and Ronnie roll up, calling dibs on the upstairs room with three beds. This fucks everything up, because no one wants to share a room with the couple's brown cloud of incessant drama. Plus, Vinny, Pauly and the Situation aren't going to be smashing any girls with Sammi present, so the bedroom choice has now become the first battle.
Brick house Jwoww (or "Whore Bag," as Sammi has deemed her) is next to arrive, with everyone else close behind. Jwoww shacks up with the Gremlin twins, Vinny and Pauly take a room, and the Situation is left to bunk with the most miserable couple in the history of MTV since Justin Bobby and Audrina. Or anyone who has ever hooked up on the 86 seasons of The Real World.

Unsure what to do about marraige, husband has turned out not to be the leader I thought he could be.
Name: | Unsure In Nc |
Add a little more detail (optional): | I have been married to my current husband for 6 and a half years. This is my third marriage, I had no control over the ending of the other marraiges. I had several concerns prior to getting married but he promised me that God would be the center of our marriage. We went to church every Sunday until we got married. Then we haven't been back since. I have backslid and I know that I haven't done what God has wanted me to do and I want to get back in His good graces. However, my husband says that he is saved but conveniently plans family activities on Sundays. I am finding it very difficult to get back into church. There are many other issues but this one seems to be at the top of the list. Please, I could use some good advise. |

This appears to be a rather tricky problem, as you're being torn between obeying/honoring God and obeying/honoring your husband. My first advice is to devote daily prayer to it (if you're not already). Second, I think you have to somewhat act as if your husband is unsaved if he is not displaying the charactistics of a regenerate Christian and apply 1 Cor 7:13-16:
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
Your husband may or may not be saved, that's not for me to judge, but perhaps is clearly living as if he is not. Therefore, your responsibility is to be a godly wife and lead him to/back to truth through your example and witness. I recommend the following:
- Pray consistently and openly. Don't be afraid for him or your children (if you have any) to see you pray.
- Read and study your Bible consistently and openly. Don't be afraid for him or your children to see you.
- Go to church anyway, by yourself if necessary. Perhaps not all-in immediately, but what's to stop you from going Sunday night and/or Wednesday night? You be consistent in going and he may eventually follow. I know several women who have done just that. Some took a few months to come around; some took several years; and some are still waiting; but they're all closer to the Lord than they would have been otherwise.
- Find a godly woman to disciple you (see Titus 2:3-5) and help you consistently grow in faith and Christ-likeness
You'll notice one common theme above: consistently. Following Christ is not a hobby or an additionaly duty. It is a lifestyle. You have to truly commit yourself to God before you can have any kind of impact on your husband. In the end, what you have to realize is that in then end, you are responsible for only your own actions and your husband is responsible for his. You must also realize is that you cannot change anyone but you. Your husband won't change unless he wants to, but your example may give him that motivation. You consistently do what's right and let God handle the rest.

I would add that you, as the wife, must look into yourself, asking God to shine the light on areas you need to have God work on. Some questions (getting into specifics of what Sword touched on in his last paragraph):
Are you a submissive wife? The word submission does not mean doormat or rug, even though some husbands treat their wives in that manner as they insist on obedience. No, submission is a matter of the heart.
What is your heart's attitude toward your husband? Are you willing to follow him as the leader in your home, or are you wanting him to do as you want him to do, calling it following God? There is a very fine line of distinction between the two, and it is a serious thing to consider.
Remember the story of David dancing when the ark was brought back to Israel? His wife, Michal, saw him and the Bible says she despised him in her heart. You know, it is sometimes awful easy for wives to despise their husbands in their hearts - especially if the hubby isn't doing what the wife wants him to do... - but it is a sin against God. Michal found out how serious it was because God made her barren for it.
Rather than focus on your husband, focus on your spiritual life. As Sword said, spend time consistently in prayer (and if you pray so others can hear you, don't use it as a time to browbeat your husband for not being what you think he should be....that is not a meek spirit nor a loving wife!). And in Bible reading and study - again make sure you don't do it to come across as the pious one - you'll be defeating any good God can do.
Ask God to show you where you need to change. And as God points things out to you: obey Him. Keep a sweet and loving spirit with your husband - as he sees you becoming more involved in obeying God, he will likely become a bit critical because he'll want to see if it's genuine. Be loving, be respectful, and remember we are told to reverence our husbands. That doesn't mean worship, but it does mean to hold them in high esteem.
Do you hold your husband in high esteem? He may not be the spiritual leader you want(ed), but there are good things about him, or you wouldn't have married him (I hope). Think on those things - bring them up to God and thank God for them as you pray for God to work on both of you.
As you do this, your new-found respect for him will show through...and so when you (after much prayer that God will work in his heart) sit down with him and calmly express your deep desire to go to church as a family, he will see that you aren't trying to manipulate him (oh, yes, it is so very easy for a wife to do if she isn't careful...). He might refuse. But the Holy Spirit can work, and if you continue to honor, love, and respect him, I believe God will do a mighty work in your hubby's life.
Am I saying that it's your fault your hubby won't go to church? Not at all. But so many times we wives don't realize that our attitudes towards our hubbies stink and, while they love us and would do just about anything for us - they won't while we have a rotten attitude. Check yours, bathe the situation in prayer, refresh your relationship with the Lord, love your hubby...and God will work....

For 25 years I have seen this occur over and over again. The real issues are: #1) He is your husband and it would be a gross sin to divorce over this matter; #2) Have you asked God for forgiveness? Frankly, it seems you have very poor decision making abilities re. this matter. Did you seek wise counsel from your pastor or godly Christians in your church? Most likely not. ;#3)Your duties and obligations to God now are primarily toward your husband, wether you like it or not. If you remain focused on this matter you will remain unsatisfied both spiritually and emotionally. But if you ask God to help you be the best wife mankind has ever seen, ask Him to help you love your husband and make a decision that you are going to do so, and become a help suitable (meet) for your husband then you will be satisfied. Your #1 ministry is your husband, more so than any ministry you may have at church. If I sound harsh, it is not intentional but the bible does say "..iron sharpeneth iron.."

In her final trimester of pregnancy, Kim is keeping her look chic and comfortable. During a Paris trip with mom Kris Jenner, Kim donned an all-black ensemble and comfy loafers — do YOU like her look?
Kim Kardashian, 32, kept her huge baby bump covered up on her Paris trip with mom Kris Jenner, 57, and boyfriend Kanye West,35, and stuck to her go-to color of slimming black. She even left her sky-high heels at home while out and about in the city, opting for comfortable loafers instead.
Kim Kardashian's All-Black Look For Paris
The pregnant reality star, who is due this summer with her first baby with Kanye, has been sticking to the slimming black color during her final trimester. She even decided to cover up her giant baby bump this time with a black jacket that wrapped around her midsection.
She also kept her look comfortable with just a pair of black leggings and a blank tank top underneath. Unlike the plastic sandals she shoved her feet into on May 16, Kim let her feet breathe this time in a pair of chic black loafers.
Topping off her look, Kim rocked a pair of big black sunglasses, and carried a black clutch at her side. She also kept her long locks flowing down around her shoulders for a natural look.
Kim Kardashian Flies To Paris In Third Trimester
Despite Kim's miscarriage scare in March, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is still jet-setting across the world while heavily pregnant. After a couple days in New York City for Kanye's Saturday Night Live appearance, Kim took off for Paris on May 20 with her mom Kris.
Hopefully the mom-to-be slows down soon — she's due in just a few weeks!

Most interesting one is Turkey. I think this is a recent change in their law. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign affairs website states that Indian passport holders with a UK/Schengen or US visa can get a 1-month visa upon arrival. I wanted to visit Turkey back in April 2010, and then I was advised by the embassy, the travel agent and the Turkey MFA website that I do need to apply for a visa, despite having a UK resident visa.

Toxic Effects Of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Piroxicam And Mefenamic Acid And Their Roles As Cancer Chemopreventive Agents
Sanat, Faizah (2004) Toxic Effects Of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Piroxicam And Mefenamic Acid And Their Roles As Cancer Chemopreventive Agents. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
844Kb |
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most widely used drugs worldwide. More NSAIDs were being produced and manufactured everyday. It was an overwhelming view that the thought of all NSAIDs were important due to their therapeutic actions by inhibiting the production of prostaglandin was challenged by the discovery that they affect a wide variety of cellular processes along the way. The NSAIDs piroxicam and mefenamic acid have dissimilar chemical structures, enolic and carboxylic acid respectively, but with the same mode of action for therapeutic uses. They both inhibit prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting the cyc100xygenase (COX) pathway as of other conventional NSAIDs. However in some cases, they did differ with each other depending on the gravity of their effects on certain aspects. Although the toxicity of piroxicam was well known and documented, mefenamic acid is still not the safest drugs of all. Histologically, mefenamic acid showed a marked toxicity to the liver and kidney of rats compared to piroxicam. Morphological changes

Sotomayor Brings Most Judicial Experience
Judge Sotomayor will bring more federal judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice in 100 years
[Op-Ed: National]
Earlier today, Thursday, August 06, 2009, by a vote of 68 yeas to 31 nays, the
United States Senate voted to confirm Sonia Sotomayor to be the next Associate
Justice on the United States Supreme Court.
Judge Sotomayor will take a seat on the highest court of the land when it begins its next session in October. Of the 110 Justices who have served on the Supreme Court in its entire history, Judge Sotomayor will be only the third woman and the first Hispanic Justice.
Sonia Sotomayor is an excellent choice. The daughter of immigrant parents --her father, a tool-and-die worker with a third grade education, died when she was nine years old; her mother, a nurse, raised Judge Sotomayor and her brother on a very
modest salary— she grew up in the housing projects in the Bronx. She went on to graduate from Princeton University summa cum laude in 1976, and then from Yale Law School (where she was the editor of the law journal) in 1979.
After law school she got a job as an assistant district attorney in New York City, where she prosecuted cases involving police brutality, murder, child pornography and assaults. After a time in private practice, she was nominated in 1991 by President George H. Bush to serve as a federal judge for the U.S. District Court, southern District of New York. Six years later, she was nominated by President Bill Clinton to serve as an appellate judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where she has served since 1998. She has been a prosecutor, private litigator, trial judge, and appellate judge.
No one currently on the Court has that complete package of experience. Judge Sotomayor will bring more federal judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice in 100 years, and more overall judicial experience than anyone confirmed for the Court in the past 70 years. She has been a big-city prosecutor and a corporate litigator, a federal trial judge on the U.S. District Court, and an appellate judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. She will bring much needed diversity to the court of last appeals.

This is what I have in bulk; peat moss, pumice, organic compost starter/soil amendment (I forget the exact name right now) by Gardner & Bloome, Dr. Earth Oranic 7 complete fertilizer, sm. amount of perlite, chicken manure, alfalfa and sand. I was hoping to use the compost starter and amend that but when I opened it for the first time it just felt too woody to me. I know it has these mycorrhizae and other good stuff but it didn't seem like it was the right thing to start adding into. Maybe I'm so used to a clay type of dirt that I'm off track here but what else do I need?,,,No commercial potting mixes or super soil for me please,,unless they are gardner & bloome,,,maybe I just bought the wrong mix? I need it in bulk so when I saw the 3 cu ft block for this great price from the county farm supply I just grabbed them.
What do I need to get now? Thx. |

"Compost Starter" is a high Nitrogen product that would not make a good addition to potting soil, but you can make your own potting soil. The best material to use is compost, and that is what I have used for many years, just compost, no soil, no peat moss, no anything but the compost. A search of the internet will yield some 240,000 articles on making your own potting soil and many that I have looked at are soil based and soil is just to heavy to use in pots. |

Compost is NOT the way to go for container plantings. See my response to your other post on the Soils forum or check out the Container forum for more appropriate advice. Container culture is a very distinct situation from inground growing conditions and requires a very different approach. Or google "potting soil recipes" for help. Contrary to what has been stated, most potting soils are "soil-less" mixes but it is most often recommended that compost play a very small role in these recipes. And yes, there ARE excellent Gardner & Bloome potting soils. Look for their Blue Ribbon Blend. The soil building compost product you bought (the only one of their products available in a 3cf bale) is intended for amending soil in planting beds or mulching, however the "woodiness" is not a concern - you do want the texture and particle size that some woodiness provides but you also want lightness and increased drainage, so this is not the best choice. FWIW, ALL G&B products are innoculated with micorrhizae and other soil microbes so facilitate the use of organic ferts, which most other commercial mixes do not. |

soo... the 3 chili plants I have growing in straight compost, that have wintered over and produced hundreds of cayenne, habanero, and seranno peppers are not doing well?? I also make my own soil/soiless mix blends, but these three are an experiment that seems to prove that good, varied compost IS all you need. Granted, the mix has reduced in size, but I just add more on top of it, and off to the races we go. I bet you that I can take these peppers 4 years,with no other amendments than my compost, and they may not outperform my container mix plants, but will be just as healthy. Wanna bet??? BTW, all finished compost has an abundance of microlife in abundance, including micorrhizae, and my 8 gallon and 12 gallon containers that I am talking about, retain water yet DRAIN FREELY. While all compost may not be the way to go for container planting, there are millions of happy container plants that are growing away in compost everywhere. I probably will not plant in straight compost this year with the 36 or so 5 - 12 gallon containers that I will have planted, I wouldn't have enough compost for that and the garden but there will be atleast 10-20% compost in each container. You go and have yourself a wonderful day now - you hear? Good luck TiMo |
I love and will pay extra for products with micorrhizaes (sp?) so that is what turned me onto Gardner and Bloome products for bagged products. I've used EB Stone and Dr. Earth that I really like as well. I've switched to Dr.E for cost savings but I've gone thru potting soil fast over my short time delving into gardening so I didn't know any better. I'm looking to transplant all my hanging and potted plants in new soil to stretch out the time I get out of my perennials since I am such a flower and color type of gal. Now knowing that soil and nutrition can greatly get me to this goal, I've either got to make my own mix to save money (ideally) or buy the best I can get. Planting into my ground soil is not problem as I can amend it to what it needs but I don't have enough actual dirt to use that in my potting mix, thus the problem. I just took 3 classes at my local specialized nursery and being the prolific note taker and hand raiser that I am, the guy said that compost lowers the oxygen which equals rot so especially for container pots that you need airspace and drainage and that commercial soils use to much wood product( don't know if fast or slow decomp wood product). So I had 3 huge cubes of compost builder (G&Bloome), I put 2 out thickly over a raised bed of perennials I have and will save the other bag for part of my "recipe". In looking back thru my notes just now, what do you think of a recipe of 85% peat moss and 15% perlite that will give about 20% airation?,,We have the heat to contend with. I also have written down 50% pumice for more airation since it's more poreous than perlite,,,I just have it written so fast that I may have missed something here. It is true that peat moss holds moisture for 5 yrs? Now that I've been enlightened or just the tip of the iceburg to all this, I'm wanting to replace the soils in my potted and hanging plants since in So.Calif I'm having to water almost daily right now and it will only continue more so when summer gets into full swing. I'm wanting to creat a soil for transplanting them so that I get a better moisture holder as well as maintaning drainage. I guess I know just enough to be dangerous at this stage but I'm learning! |
gardengal, According to Dr. Elaine Ingham President of Soil Foodweb Inc. properly mixed aerobic compost can be used as potting soil as long as it has protoza, fungi, and bacteria. |
"the guy said that compost lowers the oxygen which equals rot so especially for container pots that you need airspace and drainage and that commercial soils use to much wood product" There may be a time in the composting process that that would happen and if one were to keep that compost in that container too wet that could happen, but then rot can happen even in the expensive potting soils I bet this guy sells. That statement is nonesense. The mixture of 85 percent peat moss and 15 percent perlite is a common on in commercially available potting soils. |

Why can't you use compost in indoor soils? I always thought you could, although I do know that most mixes are "soiless" (but why?) |
I add perlite to my compost and use it for potting mix, it works great. The perlite helps keep it light. I am a passive composter, I have lots of room and so i move the pile every few years but it doesn't get turned much, just piles up and "composts". |

Compost works for indoors. I'm not sure what you're all talkin about. |
The problem with compost in containers is that it doesn't do any good. What does compost actually do in soil that makes us want it? It immediately loosens the soil, it feeds soil organisms, it provides some nutrients etc, it can compete with disease organisms etc. How would it do this in a container? There won't be any fungi in compost in a container, they get too hot for fungi to survive and the bacterial populations will fluctuate with the temp and moisture levels in containers. It will also break down in a season to virtually nothing resulting in lost volume in the container. I just don't see the point of compost in a container. At best it does nothing good and at worst it reduces oxygen as it breaks into smaller and smaller particles eliminating the air spaces in the planting mix and holding on to water to the exclusion of oxygen. I am not saying there aren't those using it who are happy with the results they get, just that I don't see any value to it. The compost would serve a much more valuable purpose in the ground where it fuels a soil system. A container is not a small piece of a yard, it's an unnatural plant enclosure subject to extreme temperature and moisture fluctuations. It isn't a system where water, oxygen and nutrients flow through in a natural manner. The water, nutrients and oxygen all have to be added throughout the season by the grower. Put a plant in a container and let nature take care of it and we have a dead plant ;-) Compost=great in the soil and at best, pointless and wasteful in a container. |
- Posted by hoorayfororganic 6b Massachusetts (My Page) on Thu, Mar 27, 08 at 22:05
How does finished compost get too hot? How does it get broken down in a container at the same rate that it would outside? It doesn't because there's barely any biological activity in containers. So how's it gonna break down in a season any more than peat moss would? Here's why compost is better - 1)it's easy and cheap to make, 2)it helps the environment by avoiding destruction of peatlands, which miners open up to severe drainage which unlocks enormous amounts of CO2 to go into the atmosphere (draining peatlands = decomposition of carbon sinks) How anyone could say compost is wasteful in a container is beyond me, when compost could be made from waste, and when it's better than peat moss in terms of bulk density and soil structure: "Compost has largely replaced peat moss for improving garden soils. Unlike peat moss, compost has only a slightly acid pH, between 6.2 and 7.2, is rich in essential nutrients for good plant growth and it releases its nutrients slowly. Because its nutrient release rate is highly dependent on soil temperatures, it does not release its nutrients except when the soil is warm and the plants are growing. Unless it is used in excess, it does not contribute to our water pollution problems. Because its rich brown color is due to its high lignin concentration, it does not shrink like peat moss, thus its effect in reducing the bulk density is long lasting. Research has demonstrated that a single application of 100 tons of compost per acre will provide beneficial effects on soils for at least eight years. Peat moss, due to its low lignin concentration but high cellulose level, will only alter the bulk density of soils for approximately one year. Peat moss is void of plant nutrients and your must balance its use with the addition of limestone to counteract its acidity." http://www.growit.com/Features/midatl504.htm Anybody that cares about global warming shouldn't buy peat products, it is akin to aiding in unlocking thousands of years of carbon storage. That is one thing the peat industry has absolutely no way to spin, and something it can never deny. That's why I prefer compost over buying an indoor soil mix with peatmoss. |
How does finished compost get too hot? It doesn't. How does it get broken down in a container at the same rate that it would outside? It doesn't because there's barely any biological activity in containers. So how's it gonna break down in a season any more than peat moss would? Compost breaks down faster because it is easily digestible by microorganisms and peat is not. This makes compost great for soils, not so great for containers. Do you really want to start with a potting mix filled to the container brim and end with a mix 6" below the brim? Here's why compost is better - 1)it's easy and cheap to make, I know only a few people who can make enough compost to meet their gardening needs and they live on acres of land. This is a fairly rare thing in the modern world of cities and suburban subdivisions. 2)it helps the environment by avoiding destruction of peatlands, which miners open up to severe drainage which unlocks enormous amounts of CO2 to go into the atmosphere (draining peatlands = decomposition of carbon sinks) Yes, but as was pointed out in another thread leaving the peatland produces methane gas which is much worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. You aren't taking a balanced look at this and I am not arguing for the use of peat moss anyway, just pointing out the pointlessness of compost in a container compared to it's value in feeding soil. You don't need peat moss or compost for indoor potted plants. Heck, all my indoor plants are grown in water and hydroton balls. No soil or soilless mixes. Google 'hydroculture' and you will see how all my indoor plants are grown in a permanent growing media. How anyone could say compost is wasteful in a container is beyond me, when compost could be made from waste, and when it's better than peat moss in terms of bulk density and soil structure On what do you base your statement that compost in a container has a better soil structure than peat moss? On what do you base the statement that it is better than vermiculite, perlite or any other common potting mix ingredient in terms of retaining structure? Compost is food for microbes, it breaks down quickly as a result. Of the many fine qualities of compost, retaining structure is not one of them. If it did retain it's structure most of it's value as a (ground) soil amendment would be lost. It almost pains me to be debating this as I use mostly organic principles for in ground gardening, but when it comes to house plants and outdoor container plants I do understand the the mere act of containing the growing media means I don't have a working soil system. This means I don't bother with the negatives heavy, tiny particled organic matter would introduce to an incredibly unnatural means of growing - containers. I really don't get why organic gardeners don't grasp this concept. Organics are for the soil. They work great there. Containers aren't the earth, nor are they tiny equivalents. If you really want to be 100% organic, don't use containers at all. If you do want to use containers, stop trying to pretend they are the earth or work anything like it. Containers work like the earth just like a fish aquarium works like a lake. We can grow the same things in both, but the methods have to be different because one has a natural ecosystem working for it and the other does not. |

"Yes, but as was pointed out in another thread leaving the peatland produces methane gas which is much worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas." That's just not true, at all. Peatlands do not harm the environment, tampering with them does. To me it's more worth it to use compost for my containers and just repot when needed. Buying coco is ridiculous, buying peat is ridiculous, when compost is free and works just as fine. I'm not so physically incapacitated that I can't find the time to repot the plants I use so I'd rather do what's best for the environment. Coco lasts just as long if not longer than peat, if you can't afford it at the expense of the environment, that's on your shoulders I guess. |

There are some great products you can add to your soil that are all organic and easy to get ahold of. One thing I'm fond of is humus... I've experimented with some different kinds and have found that Alaska Humisoil works really well in all my soil mixtures. Try some of that Root web or a similar product, as it has also helped me out. There are just so many things to use, experimenting is really a good way to go. |

So do you use compost indoors, byron? |
I can't believe some of you are so against using compost for house plants. And why would you think you can't make enough to supply your needs? Another word I use for my compost is rich dirt and it is better than that bagged stuff that you get at Walmart. Perlite is all I add to it and my houseplants are all huge and healthy. They only problem I have ever had is with a few weed seeds that pop up when I am starting seeds. But this soil looks better than the bagged stuff and it's free. I don't think I have ever bought peat moss and I get great results from my plants, indoors and outside. |

I still don't know just *what* is with this craze of using peat moss for soil, or this craze of thinking that, somehow, compost doesn't work to grow great plants in, or that one HAS to use synthetics and will be OVVVVERRRUNNNNN!!! by swarms and swarms of evil insects! Thanks spogarden for validating my sanity! |

Hoorayfornuts and spogarden - you are completely missing the point but it's like trying to argue with Al Queda guys. They just refuse to listen. Peat moss is great when used for the right reason. Like Container plants. Like only 10% by volume. Reason? Much more stable than compost. Compost is much better for the ground. I do it all the time. ya'll just trying to twist truth around to make yourself look good. Pathetic. |
Byron, I think you're thinking about cocoa bean husks and their toxicity to dogs, not coco coir (which is a coconut product). The cocoa mulch can be a problem. I second what Justa says. ;-) Though I barely use any peat moss at all in my container mix. |

Why can't compost be used indoors? |

I successfully raised thousands of daylily seedlings with this formula: 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 perlite. I used dilute liquid fertilizer after they had developed their second set of leaves. I bought one of those big blue tubs at Lowe's and mixed the potting soil in that with a shovel. You do have to wet it down thoroughly before planting your seeds. Nancy |

Here's one from Cornell, they have others as one size does not fit all. Don't anybody get too carried away about defending a particular recipe unless it's for a specific crop at a specific stage of growth in certain containers, etc. these are all variables that impact what works best. I.E. In the greenhouse industry they use different pots and mixes depending on the crop grown and the variety of both mixes and pots is wide. Just something to chew on. I like my mix for what I've been doing for years here, might be crap for you with what you're doing though:) |

Q. Why can't compost be used indoors? A. Because. There IS actually a very good and well documented reason why compost is not recommended as a major additive to container potting soil, either for indoor plants or outdoor plants. And that is how it affects good drainage, a quality that is pretty much paramount for any sort of container growing. Compost continues to breakdown even as a component of potting soil. The longer it goes, the more frequently wetted and the warmer the container is kept, the faster the material breaks down. And when that happens, the individual particles become tinier and more uniform in size, the pore spaces (the empty cavities between particles) shrink and the whole mix compresses. Compression and lack of pore space has a big negative impact on drainage and soggy soil and rotten roots tend to be a result. That's why most high quality purchased potting soils contain minimal - if any - concentrations of compost. It just doesn't hold up. If you are growing in containers short term, like very seasonal crops, compost can work as an additive (not the base) to potting soil. But for long term success - growing anything longer than 6 months - you want a durable, barky, textural potting medium that is not going to collapse and impact good drainage. The Container Gardening forum has a detailed discussion on this very subject that is the longest running (march '05) thread on GW. More than 2500 posts have entered into the discussion and the knowledge base is pretty high - in fact, the original author is considered an expert on container soils and container gardening in general |

- Posted by maplerbirch 4 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 17, 13 at 7:48
I'm glad 6 months was the number put to it before the texture of the compost becomes noticeably more compact, becuz here our winters only last 6 months and the compost component retains water better than vermiculite and charcoal. |

Joanne Tortorici Luna, a member of CSULB's Educational Psychology, Administration and Counseling Department since 2000, was recognized recently with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for her work with Move A Child Higher (MACH1), a therapeutic horseback riding program. President George W. Bush gives the award to individuals, families, and groups that have demonstrated outstanding volunteer service and civic participation over a 12-month period.
Executive Director Joy Rittenhouse, a certified instructor with the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA), founded MACH1 in 1996. Rittenhouse tapped into her own experience as a polio survivor to use horseback riding as a way to help children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Rett syndrome, autism, visual, learning, and emotional disabilities. The program is housed in the Hahamongna Watershed Park near Pasadena's Rose Bowl.
"I didn't even know I was getting an award," said Tortorici Luna, an internationally known expert in disaster psychology with a reputation for working with individuals, families and communities in situations of armed conflict. "I went to a holiday get-together for MACH1 and I was surprised to hear my name called. I was very honored, flattered and happy to receive the award."
Tortorici Luna's interest in MACH1 began during a camping trip with her son to the Santa Ynez Valley. "We fell in love with horses on that trip. In addition to riding, we'd get up every day before dawn and go down to the pasture and just hang out with the equines," she recalled. "I began looking for a way I could combine my interest in horses with my other career activities. I grew up on Long Island when it was still rural enough to have plenty of animals. Then during the seven years I lived in Nicaragua, part of the time as national director of a mental health program for child war survivors, horses were a fact of daily life for work and transportation. But back in the U.S., I became interested in partnering up with horses in a closer, more collaborative way."
Tortorici Luna has volunteered for everything from grooming and teaching the horses, to side walking and leading with children on horseback. "The children ride bareback and I provide support when it is needed," she said. "I let them hold themselves up as much as they can. It builds strength, coordination, and confidence. Some progress so far, they can ride with reins and do dressage and vaulting. They all perform in MACH1's Annual Horse Show."
Research shows that the horse's movement, combined with exercises and occupational games, promotes body awareness while affecting balance, strength and postural control. The movement of the horse is transferred by the therapy horse to the pelvis of the rider, thus enabling the building of optimal movement patterns. This can correct abnormal musculature and allow the body to work evenly on both sides. Physical contact, communication, and bonding with the horse also help promote emotional congruence and growth. Studies support the program.
"The field of therapeutic riding is not well known to the general public. There are those who think it is just pony rides or some kind of touchy-feely magic," she said. "But there is good, solid research to back up the therapeutic value of guided horseback riding."
Tortorici Luna received her B.A. in Physical Education from Cal State Los Angeles in 1980, her M.A. in Dance/Movement Therapy in 1986 from UCLA and her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from USC in 1988. In 2004, she received CSULB's Community Service Award.
More information about MACH1 is available by calling Rittenhouse at 626/798-1222 or by accessing its Web site.
Tortorici Luna is glad she chose to get involved. "It is as much therapy for me as for the children," she said. "It has become a wonderful source of satisfaction. Being with horses is a great way to become self-aware and to relax. Horses are ancient and intuitive prey animals. They are expert at reading the cues of what's going on around them. If I'm grooming a horse and I feel jangled, the horse picks up on it and will let me know with his or her behavior. It is wake-up call to me that I need to take a breath, smile, and enjoy the day."

I have a large tuber that grew well for me last summer, and dropped its last leaf this past December. It was allowed to dry, and when I dug it up 4 weeks ago, the center was showing signs of rot. I scooped out the bad parts and treated it with cinnamon. The rot is progressing and extensive, and I am about to do a Physan soak.
1)Is there any hope? 2)Should I be trying another sterilizing product? 3)Can I salvage pieces of this and grow the pieces like a potato? I tried seedlings of the same species 2 years ago--they started well, but didn't survive dormancy. Maybe I should just give up with this? All advice is welcome! --Rr |

Try to cut out as much of the rotting material as possible and then give it a soak in 10% clorox solution. for 10 minutes. Store dry and cool and check every 10 to 14 days. I have had success in the past cutting rotten tubers in pieces before. Sometimes such drastic steps are needed. Hope this helps a little. al |

Aplasia cutis
What is aplasia cutis?
Aplasia cutis (sometimes called 'aplasia cutis congenita') is a condition where a newborn child is missing skin from certain areas. In about 70% of cases it is a single lesion on the scalp, but sometimes multiple lesions may appear on other parts of the body. They vary in size from 0.5cm to 10cm.
Lesions that involve only the epidermis (upper layers of skin) are shallow and usually heal over with scarring before the child is born. A deeper lesion involving the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, or rarely, the skull may be ulcerated.
Membranous aplasia cutis is the term used when there is an underlying flat, white membrane, which overlies a defect in the skull. It can be associated with a neural cranial tube defect (encephalocoele or meningocoele), which can be demonstrated by ultrasound scan showing misplaced brain tissue outside the skull.
How do you get it and who is at risk?
It is not yet fully known why aplasia cutis occurs but the following factors may be involved:
- Genetics: aplasia cutis may be seen in association with other congenital skin defects such as epidermal naevi
- Teratogens (drugs or chemicals causing birth deformities)
- Defect in skin development in the embryo/fetus
- Early rupture of amniotic membranes
- Aplasia cutis affecting the limbs may be associated with the death of a twin fetus (papyreous fetus)
It is a rare condition with no one particular race or sex more at risk.
What treatments are available?
Small areas of aplasia cutis usually heal spontaneously over time. To prevent infection gentle cleaning and bland ointments may be used. If infection occurs antibiotics can be used. Larger lesions may require surgical repair.
What are the complications?
Complications rarely occur but may include:
- Arterial bleeding
- Secondary infection

March 23rd, 2010 at 1:05 amI am very disappointed after buying the license that Kiwi is Snow Leopard only.
Ideally such restrictions should be put up in bold on the top of the page. Instead its hidden somewhere in the long details.
Extremely disappointing.
El Cid Says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 7:35 am@Shishir, Zot's promo's OS requirement details are usually located near the bottom of the description, the responsibility for reading all the applicable information BEFORE buying rests with the buyer (i.e. you, me, et al) it is you who failed to find Kiwi's compatibility requirements, not Zot, I refer you to Zot's FAQs page, question 4:
Q4: If I don't like the item I ordered, can I return it?
A: Because the products can be tried before using, there are no returns. Please click on the TRY button to demo the product. We realize that some people purchase the product without trying it first only later to find out that it wasn't what they had thought it was. Please do not buy the product unless you really want it. We pay the developers the day after the offer ends and complete our financial transactions with them at that time.
Emphasis, mine.
DISCLAIMER: I am not related in any way, shape, or form to MacZot and/or its owner(s).
Shishir Says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 11:54 amHi El Cid,
I am not blaming anyone. Surely its my mistake. But IMHO it would be more responsible for developers / sellers to emphasize the limitations.
Robin S Says:
March 23rd, 2010 at 7:23 pmI bought it, because I seem to collect Twitter apps. I've been mostly using Socialite (formerly EventBox), and I like being able to create smart folders. Now that Twitter has lists, I can use those, too, in Socialite. I don't see that I can do that with KiWi, but I hope for that in the future. I definitely like its small footprint, something Socialite could learn a thing or two about, and I also like the themes that are so easily applied. But, what I really like is having that Kiwi in my dock. He/she is so cute! It's worth $4.95 just for the icon.

We are asked a lot about our Windows version and the release date. Chris K. (CEO/Founder) recently addressed the issue on our Facebook page:
"We swear it is coming.. We had 2 failed starts with some developers who were well intentioned but were not using a coding style in-line of our standards. We now have a super expert working on it and it's a high priority. We wish it had been out months ago, but it's coming: We just don't want to promise a date. Just know that it is one of our HIGHEST priorities."
So be rest-assured, we haven't forgotten about the PC community and we are building!
Thanks for your patience.

UNI I Am A Hero - Zulfeta Rizvic
This week's UNI I Am A Hero is Zulfeta Rizvic!
"I nominate my mom, Zulfeta Rizvic, to be recognized as a UNI Hero. She has recently graduated with a BA from UNI's teacher education program and is currently working toward her Master's.
I am very proud of what she has accomplished because I have seen her fight through many struggles to get an education. When we first moved to the United States from Bosnia, we spoke no English and had very little resources, as did many other Bosnians who immigrated here in the 90's. Zulfeta has worked hard to overcome the language barrier as well as the fact that she is a non-traditional student.
Teaching has always been her passion; she graduated from a four-year college in Bosnia and taught for many years before coming to the US so even when she faced this hardship, Zulfeta kept going. She is an inspiration to other teacher education students, and to other Bosnians in the community.
In addition to her own education, Zulfeta has spent the last decade teaching young Bosnians about their culture through a non-profit dance group that she formed called KUD "Kolo". Kolo has performed at hundreds of events across the world representing our community, including our own Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center. The group's members include graduates of UNI, as well as current and prospective students.
Zulfeta has also served on the Human Rights Commission and received a Cedar Valley Mayor's Volunteer Award in 2004 for her volunteer work. She is also a member of the Bosnian Cultural Foundation, an organization which she helped to establish.
Zulfeta is making a positive difference for our school and community by placing an importance on education, as well as diversity and culture. With UNI being such a diverse and vibrant campus, consisting of students from many different cultures, I believe that Zulfeta is the perfect nominee for a UNI Hero." - Azra Rizvic
Congratulations, Zulfeta, on your nomination!
Don't forget to nominate your friends and co-workers to be recognized as a UNI Hero! Simply go to the UNI I Am A Hero page located on the left side of our site (www.uni.edu/studentorgs/nisg/hero) and fill out the form.
Go Panthers!

Knox notes that tourists were never allowed to see certain key areas of the complex such as the "battle warning center," only the command center itself (which is much smaller than the one in War Games). He suggests that visitors will be able to learn more about the entire operation "in a virtual sense" by watching a multi-media presentation at the visitors' center than they ever did by going inside.
"I realize that's not the same as being able to say that you were in there, but they'll actually understand the mission better," he says.
The new policy isn't expected to make much of a dent in Colorado Springs' booming tourism industry. Although NORAD's current 10,000 visitors a year is a considerable crowd for a top-security military operation, it's scarcely a blip on the screen compared to the million-plus visitors who tour the Air Force Academy a few miles away. "We don't advertise NORAD, because even when they had tours, it was so difficult to get in," says Elizabeth Youngquist, director or marketing for the Colorado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The mountain won't be entirely off-limits to civilians. Certain groups, such as journalists and aerospace-industry officials, will still be able to tour as circumstances allow, Knox says.
And then there are the Russians.
Although NORAD's leaders have been busily readying their computers for the Y2K adjustment for years, they're less confident about the Russian missile-warning system. A few weeks ago they invited a select team of their former adversaries to join them in setting up a special observation post within Cheyenne Mountain as a kind of backup. The idea is that if the Russian system malfunctions, the visitors can check the data against NORAD's system, then call home and tell everybody not to worry.
The Russian government has not yet formally accepted the proposal. But Knox wants people to know that while policies might change at NORAD--no more Joe Q. Public, welcome Colonel Boris Badanov--certain aspects of the defense center's mission remain the same.
"We will always be tracking Santa," Knox says.
