3d vectors & ejection seats
Name: N/A Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I am doing research on ejection seats. Any good references on 3D vectors for HS students without a calculus background?
Well, you do not need to know anything about calculus to understand vectors. A vector can be thought of in a number of different ways, but the most general for physics purposes is a combination of two different things - a vector gives (1) a direction, and (2) a magnitude (ie. length). The concept of direction is pretty simple - just follow along the way the vector is pointing, and it is the same concept whether you are in 2 dimensions, 3D, or even any arbitrary number of dimensions (higher dimensions turn up all the time in mathematics, though they may or may not have much to do with the real world). The magnitude tells you something about the size of whatever property is associated with that direction - it could be a force, or a velocity, or an acceleration, or just a particular change in position. Of course, a vector is usually represented as a collection of numbers that indicate its components along standard directions (usually the x, y, z axes in 3D). And then the magnitude is the square root of the some of the squares of the components (sorrow, that should be "sum") ie. magnitude = sqrt(vx^2 + vy^2 + vz^2) where the vector is represented as (vx,vy,vz). Hope that helps

A Day Made of Glass... Made possible by Corning. Google Wallet Updated, Now Includes In-App Offers and Improved Use Experience. Google Wallet has been updated to include a variety of new features, an improved UI for the transaction detail screen and several bug fixes, according to the search giant. For those unfamiliar, Google Wallet is a new service that allows users to make mobile payments from their mobile devices using Google Prepaid Cards or a Citi MasterCard. At the moment, the service is extremely limited — only available to users rocking Sprint's Nexus S 4G — but availability to other phones and carriers should be announced in the coming months. One of the biggest improvements is the addition of in-app offers, which replace the email notifications that were sent our for each offer when the service was first announced. Here's a full list of the updates and enhancements: Barcode Hero Takes On The LBS Retail Space With Gaming-Based "Social Shopping" App.
Another day, another LBS app enters the space. Today, Kima Labs — a startup founded by two Amazon veterans — announced a new LBS app dubbed "Barcode Hero," which uses the same game-mechanics as Foursquare, but does so for product categories instead. In an attempt to "make shopping more social," Barcode Hero works by allowing a user to take their phone into a store, launch the app and start scanning the barcodes of items they're interested in. iPhone apps to help you stick to your budget - iPhone app recommendations - Kristen Nicole. Staying on budget is a real concern for many Americans, especially as the holiday season approaches.
As you run your errands, you may find yourself trying to calculate things in your head, ensuring you remain on budget. I am not the best at this, so I find myself turning to my iPhone on several occasions, such as calculating my grocery list as I shop, or checking on which upcoming bills I have before buying those shoes.

Very nice pictures indeed.
Amazing pictures. Breathtaking holidays I wish for.
This is an amazing movie. Looking forward to it.
Most of my friends are confused about this. Not sure how to put the pieces together.
It is a great idea.
Amazing pictures, thanks for sharing.
Well said. Time is money as we always say.
Good question. How liquid is this market? What is the bid-ask in normal hours?
This is going to be a disaster for the French economy.
This rubbish currency should go to 0 as it is worthless. As green span said it doesn't have any asset that back it or macro economics behind it.
Good service are tipped otherwise come on get in there.

The 2nd Contentment Reading Challenge post! (February)
First of all, for those who doesn't know what this post is about...the Contentment Reading Challenge was originally started last year by Amber, over at Seasons of Humility. When she wasn't able to continue, I volunteered to take over hosting this fun challenge. If you haven't heard the 2012 Contentment Reading Challenge, but are interested in signing up, check out the original post HERE to find out more!
So, as for my own challenge, I have failed miserably this month and have read zero books. Sad, I know, but I had too many new books that needed to be read this month. I hope to do better next month, though.
How did y'all do this month?? You'll want to comment below with your progress. Why? Well, because for this monthly post, I am going to give away ONE BOOK to one of the people who has reread a book for this challenge, this month. What book will be the prize? Hmm...that will remain a surprise to be reveled when the winner is picked. *grin* But I promise you it will be a recent book, published last year...or maybe even this year!!
Soooooo! Leave a comment with how many books you've read this past month to be entered into this giveaway. If you're just joining, but have reread a book sometime this year, you can still join in on this fun giveaway. :-)

Casey - I watched that movie, too, and while I've never read the book -- it sure made me want to!
I have The Lady of Milkweed Manor tempting me from my TBR pile. Can't wait to read that one. Each book I've read by Klassen I've really enjoyed. :-)

Melanie - Join the club, girl, and don't be disheartened! ;-) We can try better in March, right?!
Christina - I've heard nothing but good things about Courting Morrow Little. I confess, I still have not been able to read it. Though I own it! Just so many books to be read...ya know!
Eve - Oh, what fun! I can't participate anytime soon...but if it's okay to do it in two weeks or so, I'd love to do a fun post like this! :-) - February 28, 2012 at 7:41 PM

4readin - That's a three book series, right? Sweet! I've read the first one in that series, and am looking forward to reading the rest...someday!
Sheri - I've seen that book around. Haven't read it yet. In fact, I've only read one book by Denise Hunter. But it was good!
Crystal - I hear ya! No worries, we can all try to slide one in between our books to be reviewed for March! ;-)
Charity - Wow, you go girl! Three books in one month? Awesome! I haven't read any of those books, but they sound pretty neat. Keep on rollin'! - February 28, 2012 at 7:44 PM

Quotes"In this marvelous book, Professors Goffee and Jones have demystified the magic of great leadership." "To anyone familiar with run-of-the-mill leadership books, this work will come as a breath of fresh air." VideosGareth Jones on Authentic Leadership [2.5 mins] Rob Goffee introduces the concepts of skillful leadership - be yourself more, with skill [1.5 mins] For information please contact BlessingWhite |
The BookWhy should anyone be led by you? At the start of the Millennium, our research was driven by this single, simple question. It had an impact. Audiences throughout the world paused for thought. Rooms fell silent as people pondered their right to lead. An article in the Harvard Business Review with the question as its title drew a flood of communication and launched us on a five-year journey. Since then, we have talked to hundreds of leaders and their followers within the business world and beyond – from CEOs of multinational corporations to teachers and nurses. What we learned is that to be a leader, you need vision, purpose and energy. But, to be a great leader you need to understand your differences – your strengths and weaknesses – and, crucially, how to adapt these qualities to context. This is a book whose genesis was driven by a question, but it is one whose fruition, we believe, provides real answers to the leadership dilemmas we face. If you are serious about leadership, don't try to be someone else: Be yourself – more – with skill. Read the first chapter of Rob and Gareth's book, Why Should Anyone Be Led by YOU?

Former Mistress Sarah Symonds Is Teaching a "Wife School"
Sarah J. Symonds, who rose to fame after allegedly having a seven year affair with chef Gordon Ramsay, phoned in to "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" to reveal she's putting her mistress days behind her and now helping out other women with a "Wife School."
Sarah explains: "Basically I've worked with real life mistresses probably in the hundreds and thousands over the past seven years and it hit me—where there's a mistress, theres a wife being cheated on. So 'Wife School' really is bringing the sisterhood together because mistresses and wives have so much in common. They're both being lied to by one man where as he's getting the best out of two women and that's not fair."
Sarah J. Symonds Reveals Why Men Cheat & What Women Should Do About It
So what are some of Sarah's rules to keep in mind?
Sarah shares guys are simple: "I call it the ESF rule—men just want to eat, sleep, and fornicate and if you give them all those things especially the last one in abundance I think you'll have a monogamous man on your hands."

Get AccessAbstract
The success achieved with implantable neural interfaces has motivated the development of novel architectures of electrode arrays and the improvement of device performance. The Utah electrode array (UEA) is one example of such a device. The unique architecture of the UEA enables single-unit recording with high spatial and temporal resolution. Although the UEA has been commercialized and been used extensively in neuroscience and clinical research, the current processes used to fabricate UEA's impose limitations in the tolerances of the electrode array geometry. Further, existing fabrication costs have led to the need to develop less costly but higher precision batch fabrication processes. This paper presents a wafer-scale fabrication method for the UEA that enables both lower costs and faster production. More importantly, the wafer-scale fabrication significantly improves the quality and tolerances of the electrode array and allow better controllability in the electrode geometry. A comparison between the geometrical and electrical characteristics of the wafer-scale and conventional array-scale processed UEA's is presented.

Welcome to the department of Tissue Regeneration
The Tissue Regeneration department is a research group with a highly international character. The main goals of this group are to investigate and educate novel and challenging technologies and science in the field of regenerative medicine, which can be used for tissue repair. The department of Tissue Regeneration is embedded within MIRA, institute for biomedical technology and technical medicine of the University of Twente.
The focus is on cartilage and bone repair, however, definitely not limited to these topics. On average there are 20 PhD students and post-docs, the majority (90%) of which is non-Dutch from all parts of the world, working together on different research projects. Projects vary from bioreactors for tissue engineering to molecular imaging of mesenchymal and embryonic stem cell differentiation.
Moreover, the group is involved in several educational activities regarding master and bachelor programs of the biomedical engineering and technical medicine studies, and provides traineeships in the field of tissue engineering and biomaterials for students of different background.
The group has close cooperation with other national and international research groups, as well as several companies (including our own spin-off companies). Furthermore, the group is part of several research consortia in the Netherlands (TeRM and DutchForm), and in Europe (Stroma).
If you share our interest and want to know more about the field of Tissue Regeneration in general or about vacancies, traineeships or collaboration feel free to contact us.

I am having trouble with the following piece of JavaScript code, which is supposed to open a new window when the submit button is clicked and then close the window after the cgi script has completed processing:
  <TITLE></TITLE>
<FORM ACTION="http://www.asite.com/cgi-local/script.cgi" METHOD="post">

Filename

<INPUT TYPE="file" SIZE="22" NAME="filename">

<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Submit" ONCLICK="return OpenWindow()">

 </FORM>
When I run this code in IE, I get the following script error:
Line: 14 Char: 3 Error: 'win' is null or not an object Code: 0
I would appreciate very much any help I can get with this problem.
I think you have to do upload.close();
win is the variable and not the window name.
With your change, however, I now get the following error message:
Line: 14 Char: 3 Error: 'upload' is undefined Code: 0
Any more ideas?
Let the page with the form open the window the way it does now. But, let the page returned after processing the script close the window.
Your problem is that the object is not yet created when the script attempts to close it. :)
This advice is wrong (as you have discovered).
win is a reference to the window object that was created, and contains all its properties and methods (such as document and close()). "upload" is the value of win.name -- it's a String object. It is also the value that would be used by any HTML target attribtes:

so you can clear me up then, is the win reference still available from any other page?
Is upload still not the name of the created window object and still available? or does assigning the window.open to a var mean that you can no longer use the name you opened it with for targeting?
  <title></title>    Open 'upload' ¦ Focus 'upload' ¦ Write 'upload' ¦ Close 'upload' ¦ Focus 'win' ¦ Write 'win' ¦ Close 'win' ¦ Target 'upload'
function KillWindow() { if (typeof win != "object") { win = window.open("", "upload"); win.close(); } else { if (!win.closed) { win.close(); } } }
The only minor problem with this solution is that in Internet Explorer (but not in Netscape) the line
win = window.open("", "upload");
causes a small window to open up for a fraction of a second each time a link or button on the page is clicked. Does anyone know if there is a way to to work around this minor problem?
I never knew that very interesting. It would seem that when assigning a window open to a var that the only way to interact with it is through that reference and not through it's name. hmm
When you use JavaScript to create a window using window.open(), the function returns a window object. If you want to manipulate the window using JavaScript, you will need to store the object in a variable. The name of the window is one of the properties of the Window object.
When you type:
var myWindow=window.open('about:blank','popup','width=300,height=400');
that returns a Window object which is referenced by the variable myWindow. That object contains all the properties and methods you need to manipulate that window. For example:
myWindow.document.location='newpage.html'; myWindow.resizeTo(200,200); myWindow.document.write('
Hello world
'); myWindow.close(); if(!myWindow.closed) valueForHTMLtargetAttribute=myWindow.name;
One of the many properties available in the Window object referenced by the variable myWindow is myWindow.name.
This is a String, not a Window. So you can use String methods and access String properties, but you can't use Window methods or properties on it. This is OK:
myWindow.name.toUpperCase(); var lengthOfName=myWindow.name.length;
This is not:
If you try this:
it will open a window, and you will be able to target  tags using , but you won't be able to manipulate it with JavaScript because you cannot reference the Window object -- you have no access through JavaScript of the name of the new window, which is a string stored in the name property of the new Window object. But you have not stored a reference to the object anywhere: it exists, but you can't use it.
popup will not have been initialized as a variable; if you try
popup.document.write('
Hello World
');
you will get an error message to the effect that "popup.document has no properties". What this means is that the top-level variable popup does not contain an object called document -- not surprising, because it has only just been initialized and nothing has been assigned to it.
When working with client-side JavaScript, you need to fully understand what objects are and how windows and frames are referenced from each other. It can get very confusing -- as here -- which is why it is important also to learn the terminology.
I hope it stays clear in my mind for the next time I'm up against it. But I'm going to flag this thread, just in case my brain goes on vacation!

Nuggets win 16th consecutive home opener For immediate release . . . November 3, 2007 Box Score NEW ORLEANS — LaTashia Wise had career-bests of 13 points and five assists Saturday, and freshman Danielle Jones had 10 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Xavier University of Louisiana women's basketball team to its 16th consecutive victory in a home opener, 75-30 against Texas College. Erica Turnbull scored 12 points and Jarryn Cleaves 11 for the Gold Nuggets (1-1). Wise made 5-of-6 from the floor and scored 11 first-half points to lead Xavier to a 42-10 halftime advantage. The Nuggets took their biggest lead, 68-22, on Brittany Whitmore's 3-pointer with 7:51 remaining. Jones, a 5-foot-9 forward, had eight points and seven rebounds in the second half. Erica Delley scored 13 points, and Moniche Martinez grabbed 11 rebounds for Texas College (0-2), which dressed only six players. Xavier's defense produced 29 turnovers and limited the Lady Steers to 27-percent shooting from the floor. Xavier shot 40 percent and had a 48-28 rebound advantage. Xavier's next game will start at 5:30 p.m. Friday against Concordia (Ala.) at The Barn.

Robert wants to marry Kristen — but she's not ready for the commitment!
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's off-screen romance is just like their on-screen one!
"She's like Bella in the sense that Edward always want to marry her and she resisted before finally giving in," an insider told Us Weekly.
Kristen definitely has the upper hand in the relationship. Here are the ways Kristen keeps Rob at arms-length.
She ignores him. "[Robert's] always worried about her leaving him," a friend of the actress revealed to Us. "And she totally plays on it. She will blow him off, and it makes him crazy."
She plays hard to get. "It's always a chase. She will not call him back for a few days. He gets nuts and, like, stalks her or calls her assistant," a source explained.
No PDA. "I saw her holding his hand once, but they're not very tactile on set — no kissing or anything," a Snow White And The Huntsman insider dished.
But don't worry Twi-hards, Kristen does love him. "She definitely seems like she's under a lot of stress, and he seems to calm her down. She acts much lighter when he's there, more relaxed," another source said.

How exactly does she treat him badly?? Her and Rob banter back and forth with each other and neither seems disrespectful to the other. On top of being in love they also have a wondeful friendship and are comfortable enough with each other to tease each other without making something out of it like most Kristen haters do. Hate to burst you bubble but the woman that Rob loves and obviously wants to be with is Kristen. Oh, and I have paid attention from the beginning.

Seems like you are the bi tch… Rob has found a woman in his stunning, beautiful, adorably awkward girlfriend Kristen Stewart. She is a breath of fresh air in an industry of cookie cutter actresses, who don't think or speak for themselves. She loves Rob and he very obviously loves her. Nuff said.

With the introduction of Fire TV, Amazon has officially entered the streaming set-top box battle that may ultimately decide the future of how we get content onto our TV screens.
It's out in the UK from today, and you can pick it up on Amazon for £79, so the device is competitive on both price and performance with Roku 3, Apple TV and Google Chromecast and seems squarely aimed at challenging those established players.
Google is busy preparing the launch of its enticing Nexus Player, too, which will surely end up being Amazon's chief competitor.
The good news is that the product, like Amazon itself, is friendly, powerful, and innovative, and tackles some of the critical consumer pain points associated with the current streaming boxes. The less good news is that it doesn't entirely live up to some of the promises Amazon is making.
Amazon has explicitly stated that it wanted to address three problem areas about the consumer streaming experience: poor performance, closed ecosystems and cumbersome search. In terms of performance they have a clear winner on their hands.
Fire TV is consistently snappy and responsive, thanks to some beefy (for a set top box) silicon inside.
In terms of its ecosystem, while Fire TV is a fairly open platform, its interface consistently tilts toward Amazon's offerings. It can't access content from iTunes or Google Play (no surprise), but does support a wide array of third party services and will presumably be adding more as time goes on.
However, third-party services are relegated to second-class status within Fire TV's user interface. They sit in the system's "Apps" tab, while the system's prominent Movies, TV, Watchlist and My Library tabs all feed directly to Amazon's offerings.
The system's first party offerings are always in plain view and accessible directly from the home screen. Third-party offerings tend to take some clicking and scrolling to get to.
Search has been addressed with a slick voice recognition feature that uses a microphone on the remote to allow consumers to speak their searches instead of hunting and pecking across an on-screen letter grid. With access to cloud processing to handle the heavy lifting of voice recognition, the system does an excellent job of understanding what you're trying to tell it.
However, voice searches only scan for Amazon content, an unfortunate decision that significantly undercuts the utility of this breakthrough feature.
Amazon has included some compelling extras, including the ability to view photos users have stored on Amazon Cloud Drive, and playback for Music purchased through its MP3 store.
Amazon has also put special focus on games with this system and thanks to a more powerful processor and Amazon's optional dedicated game controller - $40, around £24 - Kindle Fire's gaming options surpass the Angry Birds-level options offered on similar devices.
Most games are ports of existing Android titles that already run on the Kindle HDX, but the games not only look and play well on the system, its library of more than 100 titles at launch is quite extensive.
Hardware and design
The box itself is about the size of a small external hard drive, or two CD jewel cases stacked on top of one another. Think of a tiny, squared-off version of the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey lying flat.
Its exterior is sleek and minimalist, with the only contrast coming from glossy black lettering on a matte black background. At 0.7 inches thick, all of its visual cues seem to be telling you, "Don't see me." Its rear side is devoted to the essential ports: power, HDMI, optical audio, Ethernet and USB.
Under the hood, Fire TV is quite powerful compared to its competitors, sporting a quad-core processor, a discrete GPU and 2GB of RAM.
Amazon claims it has three times the processing power of Apple TV, Chromecast or Roku 3, and says it can process 57 billion floating point operations per second. You can wire it into your router via Ethernet, but if that's inconvenient, Fire TV also packs two dual-band Wi-Fi antennas.
All of this adds up to notably snappy menu performance. Movie titles fly by in the interface, transitioning between services is fast and the system handles itself impressively when tasked with rendering games.
The Fire TV's minimalist matte black remote is similar in functionality to Roku's, with seven glossy black buttons and a directional selector. It uses Bluetooth to communicate, eliminating line-of sight issues and allowing you to stash the box inside a cabinet or behind a TV.
There are buttons for back, home, menu, rewind play/pause and fast forward. Topping the remote on its own is the microphone button that may one day be Fire TV's secret weapon (but not now, for more on this see the Interface and Search section).
As with Roku 3 and Apple TV, Fire TV's setup is eerily simple, and consists of connecting two or three wires (power, HDMI and an optional ethernet cable). If you don't have it wired to your router, the system will walk you through forging a WiFi connection.
As with the Kindle Fire, when you order a Fire TV, Amazon pre-links it to your Amazon account, so after a quick (unskippable) tutorial video you're immediately able to browse Amazon Instant and Amazon Prime videos along with any photos in your cloud drive.
Third party apps must be downloaded and set up separately with their own credentials. In terms of simplicity, the setup process is a win, but its lack of customization options leaves you at the mercy of the one-size-fits-all menu hierarchy Amazon has created (more on this later).
Movies games and videos
Naturally, the system provides full-spectrum access to Amazon's cloud video services, and Amazon Instant and Amazon Prime Video are both well (if not over) represented.
At launch, Fire TV offered 40 third-party channels, a far cry from the hundreds available on Roku and Chromecast, but more deals are likely in the works.
Amazon did make sure they had the most significant services coming out of the gate, including Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Instant Video (obvs!), Plex, Demand 5 and Sky News.
Amazon is touting Fire TV's innards as a competitive advantage in terms of movie performance, but while menus move quickly, our tests didn't uncover much difference in terms of speed to open third party apps or start playing videos as compared with Roku 3 or AppleTV.
Amazon's native offerings, on the other hand, clearly get a boost from living on their home hardware. First off, all of Amazon's content is accessible from the main menu of the system's OS and can start playing without first launching an app.
Secondly, Amazon is introducing a feature called ASAP, which is designed to pre-cache video content for you based on your habits and preferences.
Impressively, playback begins instantaneously when I click, with no load time or buffering. Supposedly the system will make more inferences over time as it monitors my actions.
It's a smart, effective system, but as only Amazon's offerings can use it, it's one more way the playing field inside Fire TV is tilted to the home team's advantage.
Music is available from Amazon's own MP3 store but it's the inclusion of a Spotify app that's likely to appeal to most people. There's also a Ministry of Sound Radio app for music, tunein radio and a few more.
Amazon's Music channel allows you to play songs purchased from Amazon's MP3 store or stored in Cloud Drive.
The photo channel provides a way to access any photos or videos you have stored in Amazon Cloud Drive. Amazon provides a free 5GB of storage for all accounts, and more can be purchased via subscription.
The system works simply and seamlessly. You can upload photos from your computer, or use Amazon's iOS or Android apps to automatically put any photos you take up on the cloud. In addition to letting you page through slide shows, Fire TV can be set to use your images as a screensaver when the system is idle.
It's clear Amazon sees games as a key piece of their strategy with this box. The idea here seems to be to capture casual gamers who aren't sufficiently invested to buy a £400 dedicated games console, not a bad bet in a time when mobile gaming is reaching more consumers than ever.
Since Fire TV runs the latest version of Amazon's Fire OS ("Mojito"), which is based on Android, it's relatively easy for existing Android games to be ported to work on the system and Developers I spoke with from Telltale Games (The Walking Dead) and Mojang (Minecraft) both emphasized how easy it was to move their games onto the platform from their existing games, both of which already run on the Kindle Fire HDX.
Amazon has big plans for games, and appears to be actively courting developers and publishers (including EA, Disney, Ubisoft, 2K, Sega and Rockstar) as well as starting up their own in-house design team.
Amazon's seriousness about gaming is best exemplified by its creation of a dedicated game controller for the system (sold separately for about £24).
While serviceable, the controller does not show the same polish as the rest of the system. Looking like a cross between an Xbox 360 controller and the Ouya controller, the feel of the face buttons and sticks is solid, but its shoulder buttons are a bit stiff and the triggers have a shallow travel that feels unsatisfying.
It's worth noting that many of the games on the system (primarily those with simple tablet-type controls) are playable with only the remote.
Standout titles include Minecraft, The Walking Dead, Terraria, Zen Pinball, You Don't Know Jack, Badland and the original Sonic The Hedgehog games. Sev Zero, the first in-house game from Amazon Game Studios is an impressive hybrid tower defense/third person shooter that moves surprisingly well for running on a box this small.
The controller also sports all the buttons on the remote (including play/pause, fwd and rew), allowing you to easily manipulate the system's media options via the controller.
While the controller feels substantial in the hand, its look doesn't quite measure up to the gorgeous industrial design of the box itself or the remote. That said, having a dedicated controller at all is a very welcome option.
It currently ships with a free copy of SevZero – which around £4 when bought a la carte – and 1,000 Amazon Coins, a $10 (likely £10) value.
Interface and Search
Amazon has built an amazingly elegant solution to search in this device, thanks to a microphone embedded in the remote and cloud-powered voice recognition.
Unfortunately, the way they have implemented this breakthrough feature is deeply anti-consumer. Voice recognition is accurate and solves the aggravating problem of tapping in your searches in via an on-screen letter grid.
However, Amazon has destroyed most of the value of searching this way as voice searches scan only Amazon's native content library.
This search myopia isn't only limited to the voice feature though. Indeed there is currently no way to search across services on the device.
When I search Roku for a film it tells me if it's on Netflix, Crackle and others as well as if it's on Amazon. I ran into several scenarios where I searched for content I know is on another service (that I'm already paying for) and was only presented the option of buying or renting it from Amazon.
It's the device's most serious flaw and Amazon should address if they want their device to be as consumer-friendly as they claim.
Amazon's self-bias is even more striking in the menu structure it has created. Of the 10 top-level tabs on its home screen (Search, Home, Movies, TV, Watchlist, Video Library, Games, Apps, Photos, Settings), all but three (Home, Games and Apps) are for Amazon services.
Third party apps are relegated to the "Apps" tab. Thus, four of the highest-level menu items are devoted to different aspects of Amazon's video services, while a single menu item at the bottom of the page houses 40-plus third party apps.
Certain high-profile US services (Netflix, Hulu) are profiled on the Home tab under Featured Apps and Games (which sits just below the "Recently Added To Prime" area).
To make matters worse, the Apps tab is populated by games as well as apps (the Games tab only has games in it), making that area even more cluttered than it has to be.
In short, Amazon seems to be going out of its way to bury third-party apps on the system. It's not a dealbreaker, as most consumers will be aware of the services they want on their device and figure out how to find them, but it's irksome that these services require several extra clicks to access and can't be customized.
Tip: Voice search can be used to navigate to apps you have installed and is often the fastest and easiest way to find a given app.

i may quote myself from other treads... sue me!
No it's just that you decided to start a new thread cuz Paul didn't finish the fourth quarter of the Brooklyn game... And that gave you the inkling that he was going to be traded within the next couple of weeks!!
Just Sayin' you could've just put that opinion on one of the many other trade threads already in existence!!
I apologize man. Ill keep it in mind.
As a forum fan I always like new threads to old ones and I tire of forum board purests who don't want new threads created for trades or other topics , so to all those purests of you who don't like them don't comment . Its like correcting people's grammar or speech . .. nobody likes that gu
Personally I think the jazz should be moving whatever they have to minus the four young guys to get pau gasol. Millsap, mo,/Marvin Raja/Foye or both. And we should be willing to take back at least Duhon. The guy just desperately needs to escape from Kobe prison.... He will flourishin the Jazz system.
Welcome aboard Snyder, Exum and Hood. Here is to hoping this season is more entertaining than the last 3.
Don't believe the negative hype on Gasol. The guy in a jazz uniform would be great for 5 years . I also believe Paul is gone in the off season. I just think SA will come hard after Paul. I think Paul know that he is destined to be a back up in Utah and he will be moving on.
Negative hype or not he's overpaid and old. I don't think Paul will be back either. But I don't want Gasol at that salary next year.
Welcome aboard Snyder, Exum and Hood. Here is to hoping this season is more entertaining than the last 3.
Well I am a rookie at forums so ill take the advice Zulu lol.

A Conflux of DNA.....KILLION, WILBURN, BALL, BARHAM, etc...Updated October 19, 2004 |
Rayburn Allan Killion, Jr. Santa Rosa, CA |
Hey y'all, welcome to my little outline of the circumstances, coincidences and happy accidents that created the people that led to the bald bag of carbon and water that is yours truly. The info below is what I reasonably believe to be correct; corrections and additional information are more than welcome! My paternal ancestors that I know of so far came to these shores early on. John MOORE came to America (probably from Essex, England) in 1635 at the age of 41 on the ship Susan and Ellen, settling in the town of Sudbury, Mass. He had first married a woman named Elizabeth Whale in England, it is likely that she had died before he made the journey. His second wife was Elizabeth RICE. This family stayed in the Sudbury/Lancaster/Sterling area for several generations (some moving on to places such as Maine and New Hampshire.) Some affilliated family names are HOUGHTON, WILDER, SAWYER, RICE and WHITE, among many others. John's ggggrandson, Rev. Thomas Moore, moved to the Redstone area of Western Pennsylvania and then on to Perry County, Ohio. He married Rachel POWER, daughter of Rev. James POWER and later married Eleanor HUGHES. Rev. Moore's son, Thomas Moore Jr., settled in White Co., Indiana where his granddaughter (and my gggrandmother) Aurilla Purilla MOORE, married Samuel BALL (son of Benjamin and Martha Ann, below). Ggggrandpa BALL likely descended from William BALL who arrived from England in Virginia ca. 1679, settling in Middlesex County. Willaim's son, Edward, m. Keziah OSBORNE; this family stayed in Middlesex Co. as did their youngest son, Benjamin, who m. Anne OWEN. This couple had a son, also named Benjamin who m. Ann _________and moved to Fauquier Co., Kentucky. and had a son James, who m. Anna CLAYPOOLE and moved to Perry Co., Ohio. From here their son, Benjamin, moved to White Co., Indiana where he married Martha Ann KENTON, dau. of Simon KENTON, Jr. and Sarah DOWDEN who were among the very earliest settlers of White Co., and were followed by 5 of Simon Jr.'s siblings. Simon Jr. was the son of Simon KENTON and Martha DOWDEN. Simon's parents, Mark KINTON and Mary MILLER, had emigrated from County Down, Ireland and settled in Virginia. As a youngster, Simon was always intrigued by stories of the frontier to the west. He left home in his teens and travelled to the Kentucky country where he became an intrepid explorer, woodsman and Indian fighter, and one of the most well known men on the frontier. His exploits are well chronicled in the book "The Frontiersmen" by Allan W. Eckert. Simon KENTON died in 1836 in Logan Co., Ohio. Now, back to White Co., Indiana, where Curtis Samuel BALL (son of Samuel and Aurilla Purilla, above) and his wife, Goldie Amelia KELLOGG gave birth to my grandmother, Florence Lenore BALL in 1915. In 1934 she married Rayburn Edward KILLION. The first somewhat well documented KILLION in this line is Michael KILLION, who married Amelia SWAIM in 1806 in Stokes Co., North Carolina. Amelia SWAIM was descended from Thys BARENTSON of Leerdam, Holland, who was among the first to settle on Staten Island, New York, arriving there in 1682. Thys was the son of Barent SWAEM, of Leerdam, Holland. Michael and Amelia KILLION's son, William Swaim KILLION, m. Mary BLAKE of Kentucky and settled in Sato, Jackson Co., Illinois. Here, while digging on land he had purchased, William discovered a vein of coal that led to some prosperity for the town. His son, Lewis Allen KILLION, served in the Civil war in the 18th Illinois regiment, known as "Lawler's Lawless". Lewis m. Margaret Alice STEVENS, dau of Montgomery STEPHENS and Martha McCARTY, who had moved to Indiana from Kentucky. Lewis and Margaret had a son, John Edward KILLION who m. Lottie MIESKER. They were the parents of my grandfather, Rayburn Edward KILLION. When my father was about two years old Rayburn Edward left the family and ended up in Arizona where he is found in The 1948 Phoenix City Directory, |

America's Next top model – Is it healthy ?
America's next top model is still one of the most recognizable television today. It is unparalleled and no one has been able to defeat the status that it has created. But what about the health and nutrition involved in being a model? The show has recently come under attack as encouraging bad eating habits and anorexia.
Aside from being exposed to modeling agents, photographers, designers and people who are involved in the business, you get the chance to become a mainstream star. Even without winning the competition, you can start setting a name for yourself, land modeling contracts easier and be able to pave your way into the acting business.
Modeling is about confidence and being able to strut your stuff out there. It is not all about telling the world how gorgeous you look and being obsessed about it. It rather focuses on the way you handle and carry a product in order to make it bankable and get it more recognized.
Models are needed to be able to sell certain concepts and ideas. They help the business sector thrive.
There will be new cycles for Americas next top model auditions and it is best to be prepared. If you want to compete, you have to be willing to search for a nearby America's next top model audition and get noticed.
The previous contestants in the show did not transform over night. It took a lot of work. There would always be some insecurities and doubts, but you need to be brave enough and try until you get in. Modeling careers are tough and you need to want it so badly in order to make it.
Here are some tips to get notice in Americas Next Top Model auditions:
1. Be your own model and come in prepared. Decide what model you want to be. Have a brand of your own but be versatile so as not to appear boring. You have to be able to look high class but at the same time be able to cater to what mass media wants.
2. Learn how to communicate effectively. Practice saying your ideas out loud and with confidence and make sure you sound right. Moreover, modeling dwells more on body language. The judges will be able to decipher if you are really confident and have the bravado.
3. Be open-minded. A model has to be able to remove their clothes if a photo shoot requires it. It is all about professionalism and the will to survive. You have to take everything with a grain of salt, all in a day's work.
Keep these things in mind and hopefully you'll get noticed in an Americas Next Top Model audition.
We hope that modes will become better role models for young people and encourage good health, nutrition and positive lifestyles. The American Association of Public Health would say that being underweight it very bad for your health in general.
In Germany, the trend is quite the opposite, where big is beautiful.

Technology continues to amaze and surprise us with steady and fantastic moves to make life easier and more exciting. One crucial problem gets in the way of all of that, however – technology's kryptonite, if you will. That dastardly villain? Water.
As any poor soul who's dropped their iPhone into the bath or kitchen sink has discovered, iPhones do many things but swim is not one of them. It's a grim death and an expensive one at that. Luckily, there are some very clever people out there that are determined to make water damage a thing of the past. That idea? Liquipel.
Liquipel is a process that applies a waterproof coating to the device, thus protecting it from any damage. The coating is microscopically thin ensuring that it's not visible to the human eye and virtually undectable on the whole. It's applied to every surface outside and inside of the device to provide optimal protection against liquids.
To say it's potentially game changing is no exagaration. Such technology could be used very effectively for all manners of items. A YouTube video explains all as to how it works but it's the video we've included below this that truly demonstrates the technology. Pouring water onto an iPhone is something that will fill any owner with dread, yet it continues to work without any difficulty.
It's worth noting that Liquipel does recommend that such protection shouldn't encourage users to use their iOS devices purposefully underwater, such as for photography, but it's still very impressive.
Liquipel requires sending off the iPhone but it only takes a few days for the procedure to be completed. Standard pricing is set at $59 while a priority service is $69. For those worried about scratching, a scratch resistant film can be applied at the same time for a grand total of $79.
For the accident prone, this may well be an utter bargain.
