Why Anthony Robbins Divorced His Former Wife Becky
Anthony "Tony" Robbins was born February 29, 1960 is an American self-help author and motivational speaker. He became well known through his infomercials and self-help books, Unlimited Power: the New Science of Personal Achievement and Awaken The Giant Within. Robbins writes about subjects such as health and energy, overcoming fears, persuasive communication, and enhancing relationships Robbins married Becky Robbins at the age of 24 although the couple had no children together; Tony Robbins acted as a father for the 3 children belonging to Becky Robbins from a former marriage. Tony Robbins is considered to be amongst the most recognized, iconic, and esteemed motivational speakers in the world.
The Tony Robbins divorced (check your luck) his wife in 1997, ending the 14-year marriage between Tony Robbins and Becky Robbins. The details surrounding the Tony Robbins divorce were primarily kept from the press; neither Tony Robbins nor Becky Robbins issued comments with regard to any or all possible reasoning for the Tony Robbins divorce. While in many cases, the celebrity status enjoyed by an icon such as Tony Robbins may be viewed as being without a downside, the reliance on Tony Robbins from his millions of clients created the potential for a backlash; as a result, it is assumed that both Becky Robbins and Tony Robbins settled outside of court.
In the event that a couple mutually decides to file for divorce in an uncontested fashion, which means that the couple has both agreed to the terms of the divorce settlement, as well as to the reasoning for the ultimate dissolution of the marriage, the specific details of the divorce settlement are not released to the public record.
With regard to his clients both existing in private and public domains, he explained that he had felt as though he and Becky Robbins had undergone individual changes with regard to their union. He added that within his teachings, he advocates for a strong and action-based lifestyle in which an individual is prompted to live a powerful and meaningful lifestyle, citing that his marriage no longer provided him with that sentiment. Closing his statement, he maintained that he was by no means without flaw, and the Tony Robbins divorce stood to prove that – despite the initial shock of the announcement of the Tony Robbins divorce, the bulk of his clients and fans remain loyal to him and his seminars to this day.
The State of California requires a 6-month long waiting period subsequent to the submission of the divorce petition. Within this time, a variety of options are available to the couples facing divorce, which range from possible reconciliation to separation; only until the divorce is finalized within the State of California was either Tony Robbins or Becky Robbins permitted to remarry. It is strange since he said such wonderful things about his wife and how she was the woman of his dreams and everything he wanted in a woman…
Subsequent to the Tony Robbins Divorce, Tony Robbins married Sage Robbins in 2001; the couple remains married as of April of 2011.
Here are some facts about him, It would make you wonder he is putting into people's heads without their awareness or permission. He does not tell you that he is going to use brainwashing techniques, sleep and food deprivation, hypnosis etc on you as a participant. He does not inform you that these techniques are powerful and can be a detriment to you in the long run. He was not loyal to his beautiful (now ex-), wife Becky, and many of his staff knew this and helped to bring women to him in unscrupulous ways at events, even as his wife was in another part of the hotel. According to witnesses, at least two women who worked for him that filed sexual harassment suits against him and won. These were never heard of due to the agreements in the judgments but the truth must be known.

[1554] Spectrum of Immunophenotypic Aberrancies in Myelomonocytic Antigens in Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia: Novel Identification of CD11c Underexpression
Payal Sojitra, Pranav Gandhi, Yanxia Li, Girish Venkataraman. Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, IL
Background: The diagnosis of CMML can be challenging and the detection of immunophenotypic aberrancies (IPAb) via flow cytometry (FCM) may aid in better establishing a neoplastic monocytic proliferation. While several previous studies have described IPAbs in CMML monocytes by FCM, published data using 5-color FCM are limited.
Design: We retrieved 22 cases (19 bone marrows[BM], 3 peripheral blood) of CMML. Marrow histopathology and concurrent 5-color flow cytometry data were reviewed. Additionally, 5 BMs submitted for lymphoma staging without evidence of disease were used as a controls. For FCM, two monocyte-specific tubes (CD45-PC7/CD11c-PE/CD64-FITC/CD14-ECD/CD22-PC5; CD45-PC7/CD33-PE/CD15-FITC-HLA-DR-ECD/CD34-PC5) were used besides CD2, CD56, CD38 and markers for B- and T-cells. Flow cytometry list mode files were examined using the CXP (Beckman-Coulter Inc.) software gating on the monocytes using either CD45/side scatter (SSC), forward scatter (FS)/SSC or CD14/CD64 in a small subset of cases.
Results: There were 21 dysplastic-CMML and one proliferative-CMML. Nineteen of 22 showed dysplastic morphologic changes in either megakaryocytic, myeloid or erythroid lineages. The monocytes in flow samples ranged from 4-35% of all live events. At least one IPAb was found on the monocytes in 18 of 22 cases (81%). Of these 18 cases, 3 showed only 1 IPAb, 7 evidenced two IPAb, 6 with 3 IPAb and 2 cases notably showed 5 different IPAb. In order of frequency, the most common IPAb was aberrant CD56 expression (12 cases), followed by under expression of CD11c (7 cases; figure 1; arrow indicates monocytes), aberrant expression of CD2 (6 cases), under expression of CD33 (6 cases), under expression of CD38 (4 cases), CD14mod (3 cases), homogeneous CD15 and HLA-DR under expression in 2 cases each. None of the 5 control marrows showed any of these aberrancies. Notably fifteen cases showed markedly decreased granulocyte SSC, one of which represented a case without any other IPAb.
Conclusions: This study identified novel CD11c underexpression on monocytes in over 33% of CMML and additionally extends and confirms IPAb previously identified on CMML monocytes in other studies.

Officials looking for vehicle involved in hit-and-run
POSTED: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 - 11:00am
UPDATED: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 - 11:04am
BATON ROUGE, LA — Authorities are looking for a vehicle that was involved in a hit-and-run crash in Baton Rouge.
Shortly before 2:15 p.m. on October 28, State Troopers investigated a hit-and-run injury crash that occurred on LA Hwy 73 (Jefferson Hwy.) south of Tiger Bend Rd. in East Baton Rouge Parish.
A Toyota Avalon was traveling northbound on LA Hwy 73 south of Tiger Bend Rd. when it was struck in the rear by a silver newer model full-size Chevrolet pickup truck.
The crash caused minor injuries to the driver of the Avalon. The driver of the silver Chevrolet failed to stop at the scene, and continued traveling north on LA Hwy 73.
The driver of the Chevrolet pickup truck was a white male and had a cast on his arm. He was also accompanied by a white female passenger. The Chevrolet pickup truck will possibly have minor damage to the front end.
Troopers urge anyone with any information to please contact Louisiana State Police Troop A at 225-754-8500, or their local law enforcement agency. They may also contact Crime Stoppers at 225-344-STOP (7867). No piece of information should be considered insignificant. Troopers will follow all leads in an effort to bring this case to a close.

"We have in Tennessee a large presence in processing. We have the largest ice cream plant in the world in Covington, Tenn. ... We have one of the largest yogurt companies in the world in Nashville," Davis said.
Davis got into the dairy business to supplement his income as a teacher in Philadelphia.
"The dairy industry in Tennessee has really changed over the last few years," said Davis, who is president of the Tennessee Dairy Association.
In the 1950s, there were thousands of dairy farms in Tennessee.
"Everybody made their living by milking a few cows and grew some tobacco," Davis said. "Today there are 383 (dairy farms)."
Today, Davis works full-time in the dairy business. His farm, Davis Brothers, milks cows three times a day.
Davis said each cow produces 7 to 8 percent more milk by the farm milking three times a day.
"It has really become a family operation," Davis said.
His daughters have both graduated from Virginia Tech and gotten jobs in the dairy industry.
His oldest daughter and her husband work at the Davis farm, which has about 10 employees.
Some may see working on a dairy farm as low-paying work, but "all my guys are making at least $27,000 a year," Davis said.
At Davis Brothers, the emphasis is on taking good care of the cows, he said. Each cow has a sand-bedded stall with a fan making sure they stay cool. The feed given the cows is inspected by a nutritionist twice a month.
"We keep records on everything. A cow coughs, we know it," Davis said.
The farm also follows a nutrient plan and specific governmental guidelines. These regulations include ensuring that rain or other runoff does not leave the property.
"We are environmentalists," Davis said. "If I don't take care of my land, it's not going to take care of me."
Cows at the farm are not fed hormones. Milk does not contain antibiotics. However, Davis said there is a hormone in milk that is naturally produced in a cow.
"Milk is the most regulated product on the grocery shelf," Davis said.
He said the milk is tested for any harmful substance. If milk tests positive for anything that shouldn't be there, it is rejected by the processor and returned to the farm.
Davis said it is illegal in Tennessee to sell raw milk. While some in the dairy industry may be in favor of raw milk, Davis said "there is a big risk" of someone getting sick.
Milk is very nutritious because of the vitamins and minerals it contains, Davis said. He said many have been turned off to milk because of the fat content.
"The USDA makes us say milk is 2 percent, but if it were any other product it would be [labeled as] '98 percent fat free,'" Davis said. "They've taken all the fat out of the milk and kids are hungry, so they are eating even more calories and they are obese ... if they would just leave things alone and provide a good product for kids, the problem would take care of itself."

'Feel free to browse' … for how much longer?
'Feel free to browse' often strikes me as an odd sign in many shop windows. Why wouldn't I feel free to do so? Well, the answer should have struck me by now. Apparently, many 'bricks and mortar' retailers are feeling the pressure from 'showrooming' – when people see something they wanted in a shop, try it, check the price online on their smartphone, find it's cheaper, and walk out.
I've just been reading about the phenomenon and was reminded of the sign I've used to illustrate this blog, which appeared in a shop window after the British camera chain went into administration. "The staff at Jessops would like to thank you for shopping with Amazon". (I think any discussion of tax avoidance can be saved for another occasion).
According to the article, the problem of showrooming is a growing headache for the struggling High Street, especially for retailers of gadgets, books and cosmetics. According to quoted research, 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping - and 40% of them took their business elsewhere. Bricks and mortar shops have to pay rent, bills and staff salaries. But online retailers can offer cheaper prices because they don't. So the online giants get a benefit from the very existence of bricks and mortar shops, without paying the associated costs.
What should traditional shops do in response? It seems crazy to ask people to pay to browse, but maybe it isn't. The chief executive of one bookseller recently suggested the idea of charging a fee for browsing bookshops is "not that insane". An Australian speciality food shop recently raised eyebrows by charging $5 (£3.37) just for browsing. And some shoe and clothes stores in America and Australia have also tried a "fitting fee". In all instances the fee is taken off the bill when someone buys something. Other retailers remain unconvinced. One says "you've just got to make your retail environment pleasant, have people here who know what they're talking about and try to embarrass them out of doing it."
Coaxing the customer into being willing to pay more is the way, says another retail consultant. Here's another good quote (especially if you're preparing for the June 2013 OCR F297 strategy paper). "I'm a passionate cyclist and I go to a shop that is much more expensive than the internet. But they will build a cycle for you, watch you ride up and down the street or even ride out with you. By the time you've been there for an hour, their enthusiasm is so overwhelming that you really don't want to go elsewhere."
Of course, online retailers have an interest in the survival of bricks and mortar shops. If web-based retailers lure so many showroomers, what will they do if there are no showrooms left? Online retailers do well out of showrooming and companies like Amazon may well decide that they need to open up their own showrooms.

Dispel resistance mechanics changing in 3.0.8 {WoW}
Jan 20th 2009 8:03AM Although as a high-rated, arena-experienced mage this is a nerf to me, I can see how blizzard came to this decision and I peronally agree with it. This change is purely for pvp, as people have mentioned previously, so anything about dungeons is kind of off-topic.
The reason why i can accept this change is that i'm a proponent of certainty and reliability competitive situations. The bigger the role RNG (thats the % based chance of things happening) has in PvP, the less purely skill-based pvp becomes due to many aspects of it relying on luck. Blizzard realized this by changing many talents and racials such as orc hardiness, which used to be 15% chance to resist stun completely, to reduce stun duration by 15%. The same goes for meta gems, and most significantly, cast times (talents reliably always reducing a certain amount of cast pushback instead of giving chance to resist all pushback completely)
With this design concept in mind, losing a game simply because a healer had bad luck dispelling due to that 30% chance to resist dispelling polymorph for example is a loss based on luck and not skill. Granted, blizzard fails to take RNG out of pvp completely, since crits and hamstring procs etc still rely on luck, but at least this is a step towards that direction and its effects will be noticed immediately.

I love "NBA Jam." You love "NBA Jam." Heck, everyone who likes basketball loves "NBA Jam," at least a little bit. Whether it was in the arcade or at home, Tournament Edition or standard, it's the gold standard for completely unrealistic yet unbelievably fun basketball simulations. Surely, you agree.
USA Today got their hands on some new pictures of the just-released update to the legendary game, and it looks incredible. I mean, where else are you going to find Barack Obama sky-high, ready to drop a power reverse on LeBron James' head? Outside of Obama's dreams, nowhere.
Check out the entire gallery, which includes a hilariously underwhelming screencap of Andrea Bargnani shooting a jumper over Elton Brand. Even that looks amazing, and that's saying something.

Hi! I'm Rachel Wallace, Fit Family Coach and creator of citrusFLAT.com. I help individuals and families build new habits so that they can lead fit, fulfilling, and fabulous lives. Have you ever felt self-conscious or embarrassed of your body? Assumed your body wouldn't ever change? Made excuses? You're not alone; me, too! I want to share my story with you. Growing up as an overweight child and adolescent, I struggled with my body image. I scoured magazines for "secrets to hide belly bulge" and "tips for trim thighs." Believe me, I read it all and tried it all. I dieted my way through high school and college, and regularly put in 2 hours a day at the gym, plus running. You'd think I would have developed a rockin' bikini body. I did not. The ultimate solution finally entered my life 15 years later, after having our two children: P90X and Beachbody. I was hooked; in under one hour a day and with the best whole-food shake, I was finally seeing the results I once believed would never be mine. For the first time I felt confident about my body, and that life-changing inner transformation spread like wildfire to all facets of my world. And that's not even the best part! My success helped some of my nearest and dearest find a solution for their struggles, too. I'm excited to help you build new habits, and live a healthy, fulfilling life!

Mandy D.Beachbody programs allowed me to find the person externally that I used to be. I feel like I have turned the clock back 20 years. That does a lot for your physical and mental health!
P90X and Beachbody gave me my life back. I wasn't living …I was existing before P90X. Tony Horton showed me that exercise can and should be fun. That this lifestyle is attainable by anyone and you too can feel AMAZING every single day!
Susan L.I will never forget the day I received an email from a women who had read my transformation story. She too had suffered from an eating disorder and she said that for the first time in her adult life, she had HOPE. What?!!?? Me?? Hope?? How do you measure that?? It's nice to know that somewhere somehow, we can touch the lives of another.
Anne F.The greatest gift you can receive is when someone thanks you for helping them change their own life and for being there for them. SO powerful!
Tom M.This business opportunity has changed my life–so rare to work with a company with as much integrity as Beachbody has. From the top down, it is apparent in how we are compensated and how meticulous the developers are with ingredients in every nutritional supplement. They actually hand you customers! One word, CLASS.
Traci M.I like to say that being a Team Beachbody Coach is what I never knew I always wanted to be! ☺ I love feeling healthy in my own skin, and love helping other people find that same freedom – for that to be a business is an amazing blessing!

I got this from a local garden store.
The tag goes with it claims it was "Printed and packed by Netherland Bulb Company" somewhere in Easton, PA. Is it 'Susan'? I do love its perfect pink color. - GM |

Hi! That's the same thing I got labeled as 'Misty' and it was identified on this forum as 'Susan' and it looks just like yours!! Yours opened up better than mine and is prettier! Donna |

Yup, I bought Misty from two separate sources and they both turned out to be Susan. Such a disappointment in this case. Alana |

World-first research breakthrough promises safety-critical software of unprecedented reliability
The completion of the worlds first formal machine-checked proof of a general-purpose operating system kernel was announced by NICTA, Australias Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Research Centre of Excellence, today. This extraordinary milestone paves the way for a new generation of software capable of unprecedented levels of reliability.
There is now a way to mathematically prove that the software governing critical safety and security systems in aircraft and motor vehicles is free of a large class of errors long before the plane takes off or the cars engine starts.
The Secure Embedded L4 (seL4) microkernel, designed for real-world use, has potential applications in defence and other safety and security industries where the flawless operation of complex embedded systems is of critical importance.
It is hard to comment on this achievement without resorting to clichés, says Professor of Computational Logic at Cambridge Universitys Computer Laboratory, Lawrence C Paulson. Proving the correctness of 7,500 lines of C code in an operating system's kernel is a unique achievement, which should eventually lead to software that meets currently unimaginable standards of reliability.
Formal proofs for specific properties have been conducted for smaller kernels, but what we have done is a general, functional correctness proof which has never before been achieved for real-world, high-performance software of this complexity or size, explains NICTA Principal Researcher Dr Gerwin Klein, who leads NICTAs formal verification research team.
The proof also shows that many kinds of common attacks will not work on the seL4 kernel. For instance, the microkernel is impervious to buffer overflows, a common form of software attack where hackers take control of programs by injecting malicious code. Our seL4 kernel cannot be subverted by this kind of attack, says Dr Klein.
The outcome is the result of four years research by Dr Kleins team of 12 NICTA researchers, NICTA/UNSW PhD students and UNSW contributed staff. They have successfully verified 7,500 lines of C code and proved over 10,000 intermediate theorems in over 200,000 lines of formal proof. The proof is machine-checked using the interactive theorem-proving program Isabelle. It is one of the largest machine-checked proofs ever done.
This is a remarkable achievement, said Yale Universitys Professor of Computer Science Zhong Shao, It makes a significant advance toward building fully verified system software with meaningful dependability guarantees.
To reach this milestone, the NICTA team invented new techniques in formal machine-checked proofs, made advances in the mathematical understanding of real-world programming languages and developed new methodologies for rapid prototyping of operating system kernels.
This work goes beyond the usual checks for the absence of certain specific errors, Professor Paulson notes. Instead, it verifies full compliance with the system specification. The project has yielded not only a verified microkernel but a body of techniques that can be used to develop other verified software.
NICTA will shortly transfer its intellectual property to NICTA spin-out company Open Kernel Labs, whose embedded hypervisor software - also based on NICTA research - is in hundreds of millions of consumer devices worldwide.
The NICTA team has achieved a landmark result which will change the game for security- and safety-critical software, said OK Labs Chief Technology Officer and Leader of NICTAs ERTOS Group, Professor Gernot Heiser. It provides conclusive evidence that bug-free software is possible, and in the future nothing less should be considered acceptable where critical assets are at stake. OK Labs looks forward to taking this groundbreaking research to market.
NICTAs completion of original ICT research of this calibre is a triumph, said NICTA CEO Dr David Skellern. The advances in knowledge made by the team reflect the outstanding talent of its members and the vision and tenacity of its leaders. It is also a tribute to the confidence the Australian Government has placed in us by securing NICTAs continued funding in the recent Federal Budget.
The scientific paper describing this research will appear in the 22nd ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP) http://www.sigops.org/sosp/sosp09/.

Long Life Prayers for Teachers
Other Prayers and Practices
Recommended Practices to Remove Obstacles
Recently, both Ven. Gyatrul Rinpoche and Jetsunma experienced health obstacles. To counter this and encourage their long life, we received instruction from two sources:
1. The Dudjom Rinpoche Sangyum recommended for Gyatrul Rinpoche many accumulations of Vajrasattva, accompanied by a short practice of Sengdongma. The Vajrasattva mantra can be accumulated in whatever practice you have available; at KPC we do the Nam Chö Ngöndro; at Rinpoche's centers they primarily practice the Dudjom Tersar. So, Jetsunma asked that we have the option of using the short Dudjom Vajrasattva if we choose to do so. She also asked that we do the same prayers dedicated to both her and Rinpoche. This Vajrasattva can be done with any Vajrasattva empowerment. The Sengdongma can be done with any Dakini empowerment, such as the 3 Roots or Chime Sog Thig. The Sengdongma practice would be inserted before the dissolution of Vajrasattva (in whichever Vajrasattva practice you use).
2. Ven. Yangthang Tulku was asked by Lama Lobsang to do a "MO" (divination) on behalf of Jetsunma and he requested that we accumulate 100,000 (total for everyone) of the Longlife Mantra. Khenpo Sonam graciously provided us with the mantra as well as his translation of the entire Sutra. There are no empowerment prerequisites for doing this mantra. Note that we are only accumulating the mantra; we have included the entire Sutra if you are interested.
3. Again in May 2010, Ven. Yangthang Tulku was consulted to do another MO to beg Jetsunma to remain and remove obstacles to KPC so we can accomplish our mission. The resulting prayers and mantras, and how many of each, are in the following files. Its just like last time the accumulations are the total of all Sangha so please email your totals to add to the cumulative totals if you havent written them in the book in the prayer room.
Please note that you must have the lung or wind transmission of the Tsimar practice to recite it. If you dont have the lung for Tsimar, please use this file:
If you do have the lung for Tsimar, use either of these two files:
4. Lama Lobsang recommended that the White Umbrella (DukKar) practice and Prajnaparamita are the most effective practices to ward off negativity and provide protection. Both can be done without empowerment, as they are not generated, but visualized in front of you.
May the virtue of these practices help insure the long lives of our teachers now and in the future. Please email your accumulations to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!
Pacifying Natural Disasters
Recent events in Japan have resulted in Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, along with other Lamas, requesting abundant prayers around the clock to pacify the elements and bring comfort to the people affected by the earthquakes, tsunami, and blizzards.
From a series of tweets by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo:
I really want to watch this uberemergency in Japan. I have to know, and truly feel we should pay attention! It is our planet, our Mother. We must hold her in our collective arms and hearts so she can heal. This is possible only if we all work together. Our Earth her winds are our breath, her water our blood, her ground our skin, her mountains and rocks our bones she is heart of our hearts, flesh of our flesh, the Mother, our protectoress, now she cries out for help and we must not let her come to harm. We are inseparable from her, she from us.
Human kind must learn this lesson at last- you simply cannot shit where you eat. Hear her call! Wake up! There is so little time.
Prayers recommended for Japan and the Earth:
In addition we received a link from Khenpo Norgay, to the practice advice from Lama Tharchin Rinpoche in California. In addition to the Tara and Amitabha practices he included the two prayers below (each available in two printable sizes):

I recently got this PELEE MUM from Giant stores. It is beautiful. I planted it in a pot in my deck. Does anyone know how to collect seeds and grow this from seed?
If not how do I ensure this doesnt die in winter... can I bring it in ? Should I trim it to 1 inch then? Pls advice on how I can save this till next spring . Pls share your exp. with this Awesome Mum!

hi kris, pelee has a beautiful color to the flower. this mum is considered a florist-type mum not a winter-hardy mum. so planting it outdoors, our winter would kill it. you can try to overwinter it indoors, but it will look awlful and struggle til next spring. mums indoor are more likely to get bugs as well. aphids, spider mites seem to be the worst. if you have time, then experiment. grow cool, because unless you use artificial lighting, natural light and warm temperatures will produce leggy stems. by the way the two chicago floral conservatories will have their mum show from oct 11 to nov 30, 2008. FREE ADMISSION they are located in lincoln park and garfield park. |

In some art circles, carbonated water is the only type of water that's acceptable to drink, and it seems that Perrier's new bottles are targeting those particular types with Andy Warhol designs for their new bottles.
The bottle designs are from the 1980s Perrier bottles that Warhol created. The bottles are of limited quantity—since it's probably expensive mass-producing vintage pop art designs from the famous artist. The prints have seven designs accompanied by quotes made famous by Warhol such as, "I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night" and "In the future everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes." The limited-edition bottle prints will be released June 2013.

Bossa Conference 2008: Ubuntu for UMPCs
Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded (UME) will be out soon, and Linux Magazine Brazil had a preview at Bossa Conference 2008, presented by Adilson Oliveira from Canonical. UME is targeted at connectivity devices, such as UMPCs and MIDs (Mobile Internet Devices), but not at cell phones, as they are "too closed", according to Oliveira.
Canonical's UME tests are currently being undertaken on a Samsung Internet tablet device that originally had Windows running. The first stable version of UME will be out in May, and will be based on Hardy Heron, with packages directly derived from the official ones. At first it will be available only for x86 processors, which is why it needs notebook-like hardware. However, it is completely focused on touchscreen interfaces, with its current GUI roughly based on Nokia's Maemo.
The web browser is based on Firefox and all applications are displayed full screen by default. The test hardware sports many connectivity interfaces, with a video-out jack, multiple USB jacks, bluetooth and wireless, and is powered by a 900MHz Celeron processor with 1GB RAM.
UME enjoys strong support by Intel, and in the USA there are many OEMs and ODMs ready to include the modified distribution in their products. However, there are still some major hindrances. Connectivity devices are not meant to be switched off, but suspended instead – and returning from this state still takes longer than users would tolerate. Also, boot times – which, once again, should never happen – are too long, and the use of LinuxBIOS in the devices is not possible, as manufacturers provide their specifications and UME can only conform to those.
UME will follow "regular" Ubuntu's release schedule, i.e. a new version every six months. Ubuntu software packages not specifically made for UME can also be installed, but their interfaces will actually be just like in a desktop, instead of following the mobile interface guidelines.

A raft run like no other
which is held annually on the majestic waters of the Menai Strait. The spectacular backdrop of Snowdonia's mountains and the Isle of Anglesey's natural beauty contribute to the uniqueness of this fun and challenging day of rafting and raising money for good causes.
Starting from the old slate port of Felinheli rafts proceed past historic Plas Newydd and on towards Porthaethwy (Menai Bridge). En route passing beneath the iconically spectacular engineering and structural feats that link Anglesey to the mainland - the Britannia and Menai bridges, built by Robert Stephenson and Thomas Telford; and navigating the notorious and occasionally demanding Swellies.
The Raft Run was resurrected twelve years ago and is once again a fixture in the calendar - a day of endeavour and fun in aid of charity and local good causes.
Please note: The AGM and presentation evening have been rescheduled... new dates soon.

Organization: Dale Earnhardt Inc.
Dale Jr. tied the late Davey Allison's record of quickest multi-winner in NASCAR Winston Cup history by scoring his second victory in only his 16th career start. Junior claimed the checkered flag after starting fifth and leading 31 laps. On the final restart of the race, Junior passed his dad in the No. 3 Chevrolet to take the lead on lap 369, and he held off a hard-charging Terry Labonte in the final laps. With the victory Junior became the first repeat winner of the 2000 Winston Cup season. It also set the scene for a famous victory lane moment, in which Dale Earnhardt Sr. hurriedly met his son, gave him a hug, and told him, "I love you, but I'm leaving so find your own ride home."

To clarify precious reviews: Yes, two gift shops and same owner. The western gift shop has free camping, but no hookups. Some spots have a shady pavilion,and there are some teepees you could stay in for free, too. The eastern gift shop offers electric, 30amp, which does work, for $10. Neither has much in the way of food, just some candy bars, sodas and a six pack or two of Budweiser. Our kids (1, 3, and 12) had fun playing in the teepees and random petrified wood about the place. Great spot for a night or two while exploring the national park. - Nathan
It is hard to rate this campground, because other than a good level campsites with a picnic table, there are no facilities such as electric, water or dump. However the price is right - free! The campground is situated so one can enter the North entrance of Petrified Wood National Park, tour the park with a RV, pulling a toad, and exit via the South entrance and within less than a mile, boondock at Crystal Forest Gift Shop Campground, at no cost. That can make a pleasant and rewarding day. - hoppytoad
This free campground has no hook ups, no dump station, and no water. Its main attraction is that it is located just outside the southern gate of the Petrified Forest National Park. It has fairly level sites , some with picnic tables. The friendly owners provide a place to dry camp adjacent to their gift shops to visitors of the park in hopes of encouraging sales, and we obliged - outstanding selection of polished petrified wood! For its value and location, it is worthwhile. We would stop here again when in the area. - Roger H.

Right off the freeway but not too noisy inside motorhome. Site was big enough for our 40 foot motorhome but was uneven. Small place to get breakfast and dinner. If you have pets, this is not the place for you. The only place they have for pets is plain dirt and the area is covered in prickly burs. There is no grassy area even on the outside area of the park. Water pressure was low at 40psi. - EggerMar
Spaces too close together. I don't want to be able to hand the mustard to my neighbor through our windows! There's lots of empty sites here but they cram everyone together in a corner so no one has any room or privacy. The picnic tables are falling apart and have splinters. It is all gravel. It is fairly level. Wi-Fi works but sometimes is slow. They have good cable TV. The dog area is all dirt and has plant stickers in it. There is a nice grass area with large signs that say 'no dogs' . They have a fenced in dog park that is far away from the overnight sites. All in all - it's good for a short stay only. - Scimastr
Typical KOA with friendly staff. It is near the highway, but road noise is negligible. We would stay here again. - Don E

Nice, basic park. Easy in and out. The sites are very long and the rigs are parked on the opposite ends so there is lots of room and plenty of privacy. It's an easy walk to a couple good restaurants, so we never even had to unhook the toad. It's not fancy, but it is clean and neat and very close to the Petrified Forest National Park and the Painted Desert. - ultrastar28
Extremely easy in and out. Very nice folks. Nothing fancy about the park, very flat and all gravel. If you want cable tv you have to go through extra steps to hook up their cable box to the back of your tv. Yes we would probably stay again, but may look for something different. - Full Timers 2
This was an overnight stop between Aztec, NM and Apache Junction, AZ. The park has long gravel pull through sites with concrete patios. The sites are fairly narrow but no one was parked next to us so it was no problem. If you are a light sleeper, this may not be the park for you. You can hear trains all night although they are in the distant. Also can hear some noise from the Interstate in the distant. My wife and I slept well because such noise does not bother us. The WiFi worked well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If we are passing through the area we would stay here again. - fulltimetraveler2

The Winnipeg Police force has asked residents to exchange firearms for digital cameras. This digitally-minded trade-in scheme will potentially decrease the incidence of crime in the province, and will moreover encourage those who covet pistols to give them up.
Policemen will replace the semiautomatics with Panosonic Lumix DMC-FH8 products. If this didn't provide enough incentive on its own to give up the rifles, a gift card valued at $240 to Henry's School of Imaging will also be provided.
These officers are updating and fine tuning their approaches to safety with the 'Pixels for Pixels' program. The system is aligned with the current needs of the public that it aims to serve, and is therefore fostering a meaningful relationship between the authorities and the surrounding community.

World number one Rory McIlroy has missed his first cut since the US Open in June after four-putting his final green at the Hong Kong Open on Friday.
The tournament's defending champion had four birdies in his first 11 holes to climb to one under par in the tricky wind.But then came four bogeys in the next five and, with the Co Down sportstar's survival in the balance, a closing four-putt double bogey six at the 367-yard 10th for a 72 and five over total.
"I just got on a slide and couldn't stop it," said McIlroy, who was on such a high last Sunday after clinching his European and US Tour money list double.
"Obviously not the week that I wanted. I was only four off the lead and thinking I could make a couple more and be right back in contention.
"Unfortunately it just went the other way," he continued.
I still love this course. It's just a pity that this year had to end like that.Rory McIlroy
I still love this course. It's just a pity that this year had to end like that.
Rory McIlroy
"I didn't putt well in Singapore last week and sort of got away with it. This week was the same, so I think a bit of putting practise is required in Dubai."
He plays the European Tour's season's ending DP World Tour Championship there starting next Thursday.
"I think if I was completely fresh I wouldn't have been making the mistakes. Just one of those things - hit it in the wrong spot and misjudged the speed on a couple of putts. That's just the way it goes.
"On the last I saw the projected cut was plus two, so I wanted to try to hole it (for birdie). I hit it a few feet by, then really knew the second putt was to make the cut."
After missing that one he admitted he lacked concentration on the next and failed again.
"I feel like I'm hitting the ball pretty good still and I think these couple of days off might actually do me good and give me a little bit of a chance to rest."

Janet F. Harte Library
2629 Waldron Rd.
Corpus Christi, TX 78418
The Janet F. Harte Public Library opened to the public and the students of Flour Bluff ISD on August 19, 2000. The new library is a combination of the Flour Bluff Branch of the Corpus Christi Public Library and the Flour Bluff High School Library. It was built through the gift of 1.84 million dollars from Janet and Ed Harte to the City of Corpus Christi for a new Flour Bluff library.
The library opened with 19,000 volumes from the High School and 24,000 volumes from the Flour Bluff Branch. These collections were combined on the shelves for all to check out and use. The library is open to the public on Monday through Thursday from 10am to 9pm, on Friday and Saturday from 10am to 6pm, and on Sunday from 2pm to 6pm. During the school year, Flour Bluff High School students have access to the library beginning at 7:45am on Monday through Friday.
Classes can be scheduled into the two research classrooms located in the 800 Wing of the high school. These classrooms are located next to the exterior doors that lead to the back doors of the Harte Library. In each classroom, the students will have study tables, 15 computers with Internet access and the on-line catalog of the public library (which has included the holdings of the Flour Bluff High School Library since 1997). Group work can be done in these research classrooms and students needing materials from the Harte Library can be sent in small groups to check them out.

After spending a year and a half of my life roaming the streets of Paris, I take any opportunity to obsess over French things. I miss the food and the tangible history. Who knew I would even miss the secondhand smoke?
If you're a fellow Francophile, history geek, or lover of vintage photography then you should pour yourself a glass of vin rouge and peruse this beautiful photo collection, 1914: Paris in Colour, on Retronaut.
The series of ten photos ranges from images of the provincial to the industrial, and captures a spectrum of Parisian life at the dawn of World War I. One shot captures the intimacy of French family life and another explores the luminosity and raw sexuality of Pigalle. The photos may vary, but they paint a distinct portrait that's lovely to explore.
If you'd like to see more retro photography, you can access it on Retronaut's site.

Mahoneys menu at its new location is a ravishingly good read. But Bites wouldnt expect anything less from Executive Chef Ryan Nolan. He has been around Oshkoshs dining scene for a while.
A native of Oshkosh, graduate of Oshkosh North High, and graduate of The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in New York City, he began his immersion into foodieism at the age of 14 as a dishwasher at The Landings and Robbins Supper Club.
Click here for the Bites Blog and an archive of all of his restaurant reviews
Remember the Ponderosa on Koeller? Ryan remembers it well, grilling those tasty sirloins. Then in 1995 he had gotten serious about his future by attending The CIA. Upon graduation in 97, Ryan returned to the Valley and went to work as a chef for The Seasons in Appleton. He advanced his career becoming sous chef at Water City Grill, a past fixture in downtown Oshkosh.
He prepared his last meal there in 09 then moved on to City Center, until Mahoneys recruited him to create a limited menu at the past Sixth Street location specializing in All-American comfort food with an emphasis on freshness and flavor.
Mahoneys outgrew the Sixth Street location and the partnership of Tom Taggert, Grant Schwab and Aaron Weigant remodeled the former Azteca Mexican Restaurant at 30 Wisconsin St. just off the Fox River and steps away from UW-Oshkosh. With the new UW-Oshkosh Alumni Center opening this fall, their placement is ideal. This venue has now become a neighborhood gem; the dining room and bar offers a warm environment with a perfect place to relax, enjoy lunch or dinner, or simply sip a glass of wine. Weather permitting, an outdoor patio with fire pit looks inviting. The warm décor features stained, rough-sawed woods, travertine tiled floored entrance, carpeted dining area, and fireplace with artwork from local artists.
The menu is loaded with Chef Ryans commitment to originality and quality. The menu is classic comfort food, he says.
Bites sees culinary creativity, marked by notable whimsical dishes that are signature to the eclectic and innovative style, such as a Root Beer Pork Belly Appetizer, Pierogi Poutine, or Pear and Brie Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich.
The commitment to imaginative quality is evident. Lets not forget traditional standbys such as Corned Beef Reuben, Beer Battered Haddock Sandwich, the Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger or a classic Caesar Salad.
Mahoneys features a rotating seasonal menu that focuses on local ingredients that reflect evolving culinary trends. He is hip when it comes to original scratch cookery; ever had Indian Butter Chicken? This creation is prepared with roasted airline chicken breast served with creamy yellow curry, grilled flatbread and steamed rice topped with chopped fresh cilantro. Youve heard of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal? Its time to add an eighth, Indian Butter Chicken. The flavor is smooth with the spiced curry sauce which is mild and ooh so pleasing. No wonder there is flatbread accompanying this dish; its needed to sop up the remaining sauce.
For an appetizer enjoy Sesame-Seared Yellow Fin Tuna. This seared tuna is placed on cucumber slaw with soy-lime and wasabi cream.
Award this formulation three stars!
Youll forget about breaded, deep-fried walleye once you taste Mahoneys Pan-Fried Walleye atop pesto seasoned mashed potatoes, with sautéed bacon, onion, tomato and fresh baby spinach.
For meat eaters, the Ghost Pepper Pork Chop, an inch thick grilled chop seasoned with smoked sea salt, glazed with hot (I mean very spicy!) Ghost Pepper barbecue sauce, accompanied by corn spoonbread and sweet grilled pineapple and bell pepper salsa is an adventure.
Bites has sampled meatloaf on many occasions, but the Mushroom & Swiss Meatloaf, with the combination of sautéed portabella mushrooms and Wisconsin Swiss cheese topped with demi-glace and accompanied by roasted garlic mashed potatoes and maple glazed carrots give a new and exciting twist to this comfort food.
Mahoneys is located at 30 Wisconsin St., Oshkosh. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays. For more information, call (920) 230-3737.

Although I've maintained a website for about 10 years now, I only recently started blogging (2005, IIRC). I began blogging on Myspace. Although the Myspace blog software was really only a quasi-blog (it's really more of an online journal, like LiveJournal, than a blog), it was a lot easier to promote since it was tied into my profile and people could subscribe through their Myspace profiles.
But I digress.
When I finally ported it over to WordPress (on the wise advice of my wifey), many of the posts were simply tossed rather haphazardly into the MySQL database. They were, of course, thrown into the all-inclusive "Everything Else" category, but that's it.
On top of that, the earlier versions of WordPress didn't natively support "Tags", only categories, so the majority of my posts (95% of them, I'd guess) were tagless. And I'm all about some tags.
A week or so ago, I decided it was time to organize them properly, tags and all. Some of the posts I had to re-read in order to figure out how to correctly tag them. Initially, the tags were boring "family", "economics", "chemistry". But as I progressed, the tag naming got a little more creative: "Science, bitches!", "OMG TEH DRAMA!!!", "Egregious Use of the F-Word", and the ever popular "Ass-hats".
If you're curious, have some time to euthanize, or are drunk, you may find entertainment in the posts associated with the following selection of tags. I'll let you see if you can figure out what the commonality is for a few of them. (List is a limited selection of tags arbitrarily chosen for colorfulness — the full cloud of tags is in the right bar, below my Amazon widget).
Without further ado, in alphabetical order, I give you:

Internet slander is on the rise, and with it, a lot of questions about what slander really is, and isn't. So today we're going to go over it as much as possible.
Now first, let me say that I'm not an attorney, nor do I claim to be. These explanations are what I understand to be true, but if you are considering a defamation case in a court of law you are going to want to consult an attorney that specializes in this area. This blog is about reputation management and our goal is to help people dealing with online slander.
Now, that being said, let's get started:
Defamation: Also called Defamation of Character.
Spoken or written words (commentary) on a living person that affects his or her reputation. It can be in regard to business or have personal connotations. If a blog, website, or forum writes something negative about you that lowers your reputation, defamation has occurred. Both libel and slander are forms of defamation of character.
Now, in many stats I believe that you have to actually have suffered a financial loss in order to have cause for action, but once again you are going to want to consult a lawyer in order to determine whether or not you have a case.
Slander is when someone says something negative about you, with spoken words. Internet libel is often confused with internet slander, but slander primarily means the spoken word. If I say something negative about you to all of my friends that hurts your business and is totally not true, this is slander.
Libel is the written word, as well as the recorded word. Ordinarily this includes radio and television broadcasts. If a reporter says something about you that is false, it is classified as libel. This also ordinarily includes written reviews on blogs and forums, as well as review websites.
Can you Sue for Internet Slander / Libel?
Yup, that's the money question, right? Someone has slammed you online and you want to know if you can make them pay. The answer is maybe. Many product review websites, like Ripoff Report, My3Cents, Yelp, Complaints Board, and the rest are all protected by a law called The Communications Decency Act ( or "CDA," : 47 USC 230), which completely protects website owners from being held libel for content created by their website users.
Could you possible sue the actual person that generated the content? Maybe, if you knew who they were. But website owners don't have to divulge this information to you, nor do they have any responsibility to log any user info at all. So finding who to sue can be an issue when it comes to most the review sites.
Most of what I have read comes down to the 3 top questions a lawyer asks –
Do we have someone to sue?
Do we have a case?
Does that person have the means (money) to pay if we win?
Ability to pay probably being the biggest deciding factor of the three.
In some states, you have to actually prove a loss, because the court wants to restore you, or put you back where you would have been if the defamation had not occurred. They want to "make you whole." In order to right the wrong that has been inflicted upon you. You are not supposed to get a windfall here, only correct the wrong that has been done.
In other states, they can out and out make a person pay. But again, it comes down to actually being able to collect a judgment that matters. Having a piece of paper saying you won a million dollars in a libel or slander suit means nothing if you never see the payment.
Does a person have a right to speak their opinion?
Absolutely, it's a protected right that we hold dear, and constitutional. However, an opinion must remain an opinion and be stated as such. It can never contain specific facts that can later be proven untrue.
For example, I can say, "In my opinion, Bob is a terrible person." But I can't say, "Bob is a thief, I know he is", if it's not true and can be proven that it's not true. This would fall under slander if I speak the words, libel if I write them (internet libel if it's written on a blog or website). If Bob can prove that I've cost him money by my statement I could be in big trouble in court.
Can a person defend defamation in court?
Yup, with the cold, hard truth. Let's face it, the truth hurts. If you sue someone for defamation (libel or slander) and they prove in court that what they said or wrote is true, you're going to lose your case. Just because something is embarrassing or hurtful isn't enough. If it's true, you shouldn't sue. You'll only lose time and money and then ultimately, your case.
Can I remove internet slander / libel from offending websites?
Probably not, unless you can prove that the site owner wrote it and that it was untrue. If it was user generated they do not have to remove the content, nor disclose to you who wrote that content. It's all protected by the CDA (Communications Decency Act) we mentioned before. Ripoff report and it's clones have almost all stated that they will NEVER remove user generated content.
Why should they remove it? They are 100% protected by the CDA and the user generated content is the basis for their ugly, little business. Completely responsible for ALL of their web traffic.
Nope, they are never going to remove those reviews. But we can help. If you or your company are suffering from internet slander or online libel, please give our office a call at 800-818-6286 and let us show you how we can remove negative information from the first page of the search results.

We told you all about how much positive response Glamour magazine has received from readers for the image of a nude plus-size model featured in the September issue. Lizzie Miller has since appeared on "Today" and copies of the magazine are selling out. Catherine wondered whether the overwhelmingly positive response would result in magazines, and the fashion industry, finally recognizing that beauty comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and that they would start featuring more models like Miller on a regular basis. The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman wrote on his blog, "When I am shooting on the street older women and larger size women often say 'no' to my request to shoot them…. I think they have a real suspicion about how the image will be used. I also think there continues to be a growing disconnect between the fashion community and 'average' women in general."

Previously Deported Mexican National Receives 68 Month Prison Sentence for Unlawful Re-Entry into United States and Violating Federal Firearms Laws
SANTA FE – Earlier today, Chief United States District Judge Bruce D. Black sentenced Jose Agustin Villagomez-Saucedo, 30, to a 68-month term of imprisonment based on his convictions for re-entering the United States without authorization and after having previously been deported and federal firearms offenses. Villagomez-Saucedo will be deported after completing his prison sentence.
United States Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales said Villagomez-Saucedo was arrested on April 27, 2010 at his residence in Edgewood, New Mexico after the United States Border Patrol, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, determined that he was a previously deported alien. He has been in federal custody since that time. Immigration records reflect that Villagomez-Saucedo, who hails from Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico, had previously been deported from the United States to Mexico at San Ysidro, California on June 29, 2001. This deportation occurred subsequent to his January 1999 conviction for assault with a deadly weapon, an aggravated felony.
Villagomez-Saucedo was indicted on May 26, 2010 and charged with (1) re-entry of a removed alien, (2) illegal alien in possession of a firearm, and (3) felon in possession of a firearm. A superceding indictment alleging the same offenses was filed on August 25, 2010. VillagomezSaucedo entered a guilty plea to the three counts in the superseding indictment on September 29, 2010.
Assistant United States Attorney Paige Messec prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the United States Border Patrol, U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
