Great product. Works well with iPhone 4S & 4. No error message when plugged in.
some car chargers require you to use a USB cable. THis does not. Just plug it into the aux "lighter" outlet and leave it in. No problems.
Beware your phone will tell you the charger is not a true charger, and may kick it off or shut down the ability to charge in the car. One way around it is to shut your phone off when if charges in the car so the phone doesn't search to recognize the source. Great product especially for the price !
It is a great little charger for my Iphone and Ipad. The only drawback I can see is that you can only charge one thing at a time. I knew that when I ordered it I do not live in my car, so one wire is enough. My husband, on the other hand feels this is a drawback. His office has stuff plugged in all over the place! He can charge his stuff there!!!
Seems to do the job I bought it for. I use it frequently and am glad I bought it.
We have two iPads at home, so very convenient to plug mine in while commuting to work. If you tend to take your iPad where you go like me, this is a must have. Reasonable price.

The Beverly Hills Hotel Relaunches Polo LoungeTuesday April 23rd, 2013 - 10:31AM GI

LOS ANGELES—The 73-year-old Polo Lounge at Dorchester Collection's Beverly Hills Hotel has been reintroduced after a two-month restoration program. Led by designer Adam Tihany, the subtle refresh to the Polo Lounge pays homage to its heritage and iconic design elements. "The Beverly Hills is a dream project. I love this hotel. And it is so important that it continues to respect the spirit of the city," Tihany said in a statement. "By maintaining much of the Polo Lounge's beloved originality, we have not only kept the connection to the community but also enhanced it." The room continues to celebrate California's relaxed lifestyle with its green and white stripes and similar color scheme still intact. Updated carpets and upholsteries reflect the hotel's warm residential feel, and a new hostess stand has been added. Fixtures, lighting and furniture were replaced, and ornate mirrors, historic images and renewed rich, dark paneling adorn the walls. In the patio's outdoor space, enhanced heating, sound systems and improved lighting have been added. Flower settings, vintage lamps, Riedel glassware, and new linens add the finishing touches. Executive Chef Kaleo Adams' menu continues to offer traditional American fare. Changes to presentations and service delivery have enhanced the dining experience. Afternoon tea, complete with a tea expert has been reintroduced on Friday and Saturday. Wine lists are also now offered on iPads, creating an interactive experience that enables guests to visually select their wine of choice. "The Polo Lounge is lovingly referred to as 'Hollywood's commissary' and will forever be a timeless fixture in the community," according to Ed Mady, regional director, West Coast, USA and general manager. "We felt a tremendous responsibility to maintain much of its wonderful originality while also providing an enhanced and relevant dining experience to our countless regular guests and first-time visitors. The Polo Lounge is and always will be a very special place for generations of very special people." In addition to the new lobby and refreshed Polo Lounge, the hotel's restoration program continues at the pool cabanas and Cabana Café, followed with all guestrooms and suites being updated by the summer of 2014.

White Taper Candles
Here's an easy way to dress up inexpensive candles and truly personalize your wedding ceremony or party. The beads, tape and metallic thread lend an elegance and charm for quick embellishments.
- White taper candles (purchased from a discount store)
- Kreinik #12 Braid 4006 Rosehip, 3240 Opal
- Kreinik 1/8" Ribbon 032C Pearl , 001C Silver
- Diamond Beadlets®
- 1 roll of double-sided red-liner Treasure Tape
- Ziploc® bag or shallow tray
Apply tape to the base of your candle. (Make sure your tape is above the part of the candle which sits in a holder- you can place it in a holder and make a line as a guide)
Remove the red liner from your tape. Begin embellishing with thread. We recommend starting at one edge and working upwards. Use the liner to press your threads into the tape occasionally.
- When you are done embellishing, place your taper in a shallow tray or a Ziploc® bag and pour beadlets over the exposed tape. Swirl with fingers to cover fully, and tap to remove excess beadlets.
Note: This technique is intended primarily for decorative candles. If you intend to burn the candle, be careful not to let it burn down to the decorated area. For large pillar candles, you can burn them down part way and then insert a tea light inside, and light that instead.
Kreinik threads available through needlework stores or www.kreinik.com.

The Sony Vaio T13 has been a long time coming but Sony has finally got its Ultrabook game-on and is ready to impress
Sony Vaio T13 review
Sony Vaio T13 review
T3Full Review
Sony Vaio T13 review
- Gorgeous design
- Affordable price
- Legacy ports
- Dated CPU
- Poor battery life
- Average display
Since the Ultrabook revolution kicked off at the end of last year, we've seen an array of manufacturers unleashing their skinny machines in an attempt to cash in on the latest PC trend.
The Apple MacBook Air (the Ultrabook that isn't an Ultrabook at all) kicked off the newest laptop bandwagon and the likes of the Asus ZenBook UX31, the HP Envy 14 Spectre and the Acer Aspire S3 have since wowed us with their combinations of impressive spec sheets and skinny chassis.
But there was one notable absentee on the major manufacturer list. Until now that is, as Sony has unveiled its Ultrabook debut - the affordable Sony Vaio T13.Sony Vaio T13: Build
While the price-tag of the Sony Vaio T13 is at the lower end of the Ultrabook spectrum, the build and design is anything but.
It's one of the most refreshing Ultrabook models that we've seen to date with silver scheme made up of a mix of aluminium and magnesium alloy for the main chassis, with the lid consisting of a suave brushed aluminium.
It looks and feels industrial and rugged, and far from precious. You'll feel confident slipping the Vaio T13 into your bag, safe in the knowledge that it should have no trouble with the odd knock or two.
It's not the slimmest or lightest Ultrabook in town though, measuring 323 x 226 x 17.8mm and weighing 1.6kg.Sony Vaio T13: Features
While there's obviously been no compromise in the style stakes to keep this particular Sony Vaio T13 configuration below £700, the hardware setup does have some shortcomings.
Most notably is the lack of a third generation Ivy Bridge processor. You can opt for Intel's latest CPU inside the T13 - but that decision comes at a cost. The Intel Core i5-3317U chip will cost you £100 extra; an i7-3517U one is £140 more.
Powering our review model was a 1.4GHz Sandy Bridge i3-2367M dual-core processor with Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics and 4GB of RAM.This configuration makes this sub-£700 machine more than capable of carrying out your day-to-day tasks such as web browsing, document editing and basic picture editing.
It's also more than capable of playing back HD media with no distinct stutter or lag.
There are plenty of port options on board, including a couple of USB ports (one of which is a faster USB 3.0 version), a VGA port, a HDMI port, an Ethernet port and a 3.5mm jack for your headphones or speakers.There's also a multi-card and wireless connectivity with 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
The built-in webcam is a 1.3MP powered by "Exmor for PC" one that delivered on its promise of sharper details, higher contrast and rich colours.Sony Vaio T13: Screen
The 1366 x 768 resolution may not be Full HD, but is on a par with most of the other Ultrabooks available at the moment. Only the Asus ZenBook UX31 and HP Envy 14 Spectre from the official Ultrabook brigade offer an improvement on this.
We did find the semi-glossy display a bit reflective though, and the viewing angles aren't great either. Colours did seem vibrant, however, and there was no noticeable ghosting when watching HD content.Sony Vaio T13: Performance
The Ultrabook club is made up of Sandy Bridge machines at present, so it's easy to make a comparison between this T13 version and its rivals.
Unfortunately, the Vaio Ultrabook doesn't quite measure up in raw performance statistics, even compared to some of the cheaper slimline laptops such as the Acer Aspire S3 and the Novatech nFinity N367 Plus.
That's not to say that the T13 is a laborious affair though - far from it. As mentioned, it had no worries playing back HD video, viewing photo slideshows is extremely slick, and carrying out everyday tasks won't trouble it at all – even with multiple programs opened at one time.
Boot up times are also fast, especially from sleep, thanks to the dual SSD and HDD setup. Our model was equipped with a 32GB SSD, allowing the Intel Smart Response Technology and Sony's Rapid Wake to kick into action, meaning almost instantaneous wake times.
When it comes to the controls, unfortunately, there is no backlit keyboard, but the keys are comfortable to use and the trackpad is compact, not overly sensitive and uses integrated buttons, which we're fans of.
Sound quality is particularly strong for an Ultrabook as a result of the xLOUD and Clear Phase technology on board.Sony Vaio T13: Battery
Battery life is not the greatest that we've seen on an Ultrabook with the Sony Vaio T13 managing 212 minutes of survival during our stress test.
This involves looping HD video with all the settings turned up to the max, so you can expect a longer cycle when not pushing it so hard.Saying that, even with what we'd call 'normal' usage we still didn't get near the 7 hours that Sony states the machine should have.
Sony Vaio T13: Verdict
Overall, the Sony Vaio T13 is a mixed bag. On the one-hand it is a beautiful piece of technology with an attractive price-point, while on the other it has limited power and disappoints on a few levels.
The response time from sleep is great and for everyday usage you probably won't notice the lack of power, or encounter any major performance issues.
In fact, if all you're looking for is a slimline machine to take out and about with you, to keep up with your social networks, listen to some music or catch up with the BBC iPlayer then the Sony Vaio T13 could be perfect.
However, try and push it any harder and you're likely to come unstuck. And the battery life isn't quite what we'd expect.
But, and it's a big but because the Ultrabook line is all about style, the Sony Vaio T13 is easily the best looking of what is already an attractive bunch and you certainly won't feel like you're pulling a MacBook substitute out of your bag when you're out and about.

Sony Vaio T13 price: £679Review by Paul Lamkin
Hands on
The Sony Vaio T13 is the brand's first ultrabook, packing a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, and falling under the Sony Vaio T Series umbrella
Sony Vaio T13 review
- Gorgeous design
- Affordable price
- Legacy ports
- Dated CPU
- Poor battery life
- Average display
Sony recently announced its debut ultrabook in the form of the Vaio T13 - a surprisingly affordable addition to the slim and powerful laptop arena, starting at just £679.
Set to go head to head with the likes of the Dell XPS 13, Asus UX31 Zenbook and the HP Envy 14 Spectre, the Sony Vaio T13 sports a 13-inch screen (an 11-inch version will also be available), along with a sleek profile, measuring 17.8mm at the widest point and weighing in at just 1.6kg, including the battery.
The 226 x 17.8 x 323mm dimensions means that the T13 is beautifully compact, as you'd expect from an ultrabook, and while it may not be the slimmest one around it's certainly slender enough to improve on the stats offered by any non-ultrabook laptops.
The chassis is crafted from aluminium and magnesium for a chic, brushed metal finish that won't embarrass you in front of your Macbook Air-toting friends.Sony Vaio T13: Features
The Rapid Wake function means that the screen is on and ready to use as soon as you open the lid - without the slight delay that we've all become used to. When the lid is closed, the Eco mode puts the T13 into a deep sleep that will last for up to 90 days before the battery conks out.
Other features include a large, button-free touchpad, which made it extremely easy for us to navigate around the computer by scrolling and pinch zoom, along with a decent set of invisible speakers that pump out sound from various spots on the chassis.
Another handy feature is the 'any time' charger that enables you to plug in your smartphone charger and power up your phone, even when the computer is in sleep mode or turned off.Sony Vaio T13: Screen
The 13.3-inch 16:9 screen sports a 1366x768-pixel resolution, which looked bright and sharp, even in the sligtly awkwardly lit demo room that where we got our hands on the laptop.
Sony Vaio T13: Performance
Powered by a Intel Sandy Bridge i3-2367M processor, the T13 has a hybrid storage system that comprises a 320GB HDD plus 32GB SSD for higher operation speeds and a zippy boot-up time, while the graphics are taken care of by an Intel HD Graphics 3000 chip.
Sony hasn't confirmed they'll be any Ivy Bridge variants from the Vaio T Series available soon, but we wouldn't be at all suprised if that was the case.Sony Vaio T13: Battery
Aside from the slimline profile, the main selling point for any ultrabook is a powerful performance, backed up by a strong battery life. According to Sony, the T13 will offer up to nine hours of battery life, which is something that we'll be putting to the test in our full review.
Sony Vaio T13: Verdict
While Sony often tends to price its gadgets slighlty more steeply that its rivals, the Sony Vaio T13 is one of the more affordable ultrabooks to arrive, giving it an important competetive edge. We were impressed by the fast screen boot-up, the slick design and the intuitive touchpad. Watch this space for a full review.

Rush Enterprises, Inc. Q2 2010 Earnings Call Transcript
Both higher used truck values and increased back-end revenues are strong indicators that an industry recovery is underway. However, we do not anticipate a significant increase in retail truck sales during the third quarter.
Recently, most truck manufacturers have reported increases in new truck orders, indicating that confidence is returning, which we believe will lead to a strong truck sales market in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Our balance sheet remains strong and the company has been able to generate positive cash flow despite market conditions. We are confident in our strategy and our ability to execute it. Thanks to our employees we remain financially strong and a profitable company.
We're now prepared to answer any questions you may have.
Question-and-Answer Session Operator (Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from John Barnes with RBC Capital Markets. John Barnes - RBC Capital Markets Rusty, can you talk a little bit about just the used market and the firming of used truck price? We're seeing it a little bit on both sides. The truckers are awarding used truck sales, but lower gains on sale of that equipment. Seeing from your standpoint that used prices are firming up. So can you just talk about the pricing environment there? Rusty Rush There is no question, John, that used truck values since January have firmed up since the end of last year and beginning of this year. Values have obviously firmed and increased. And at least our margins being somewhat higher than what they have been historically is the fact that you got to remember we traded for these trucks roughly in the last quarter or last half of last year. So as you sell out of that inventory in the first and second quarter of this year, as market values go up, you experienced obviously higher margins and higher return on the used truck sales. But we expect our inventory to get more in line with current valuations and margins to go down to where they were in the last two quarter and be more in line with our historical averages.

Olympic silver medallist Vijay Kumar, with a score of 564, finished 18th in a field of 23 in the 25-metre rapid fire pistol event, as the shooting World Cup concluded in Changwon (Korea) on Monday.
The challenging 4-second series, in which a shooter has to fire at five targets within four seconds, continued to trouble Vijay as he shot 90 out of 100. He had shot 89 in the same section the previous day.
He had 98 each in the 8-second and 6-second series in the second stage. The other two Indians in the fray, Pemba Tamang and Harpreet Singh, fared better.
Tamang shot 289 in the second stage, nine points more than what he achieved in the first stage. With a total of 569, Tamang missed the final by eight points.
Harpreet Singh shot 566, and improved it by six points in the second stage.
The results: Men: 25m rapid fire pistol: 1. Christian Reitz (Ger) 30 (582); 2. Li Yuehong (Chn) 29 (585); 3. Leonid Ekimov (Rus) 19 (578); 13. Pemba Tamang 569; 16. Harpreet Singh 566; 18. Vijay Kumar 564.

Vintage glass knobs make attractive dish-towel hangers. The knobs here date from the 1850s through the 1940s. Small knobs were usually found on kitchen and medicine cabinets; the larger knobs probably came from dressers. It's difficult to find complete sets of vintage knobs unless you strip them from an old dresser; new sets have become widely available in retail stores and catalogues. But a mixed-up assortment can look just as nice, and individual pieces often turn up at flea markets and salvage yards. Attach knobs to the wall with screws at least 3 inches long, to prevent them from loosening. Screws should fit snugly and be tightened flush against the fronts of the knobs.

You need a small piece of threaded bar; one side screws into a rowplug and the other into the knob ...
miraclegal 15 Sep, 2009
How do you put the screw in the wall so the threaded portion is facing out to screw into the back of the knob?

Ooh - I like the idea from MrsDiaz for the picture frames...
MrsDiaz 6 Apr, 2008
Cute use for knobs, vintage or new! Another fun use for knobs - to hang a framed picture. Some frames come with length of chain or ribbon, or you can attach your own ribbon to the back of a frame with a staple gun. Unless your frame is lightweight, be sure to hang from a stud or use appropriate wall anchors.
Donna89 6 Apr, 2008
Great idea! I suppose you could also use plastic or nice wood ones. The wood ones would have to have a sealer on them.

OH what a good idea, have been collecting glass knobs for years, Knew I would fine some way to use them.

The Arts Council administers an annual grant program open to nonprofit organizations with a cultural focus for the purpose of cultural development in Hillsborough County. Recipients have ranged from small to large groups working in a variety of areas. The grant cycle follows the Arts Council's fiscal year which begins Oct. 1 with an application deadline in late summer on how to apply for a Cultural Development Grant from the Arts Council. Nonprofit arts organizations applying for a 2014-15 Cultural Development Grant from the Arts Council must attend a workshop on the program, the application process and changes that have been made. A lack of understanding of the process and incomplete requirements is the number one cause of unsuccessful applications.
Cultural Development Grants are awarded on a competitive basis to not-for-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organizations that meet the eligibility requirements and provide cultural programming in Hillsborough County. Funding is awarded based on overall quality of cultural excellence, community outreach and public impact, and financial/administrative organizational merit.
Any not-for-profit organization applying for a grant must have a cultural program focus. Cultural disciplines encompass, but are not limited to: archaeology architecture, children's museums, crafts, creative writing, dance, drama, folk arts, history, literature, music, natural sciences, photography, public media, sculpture, theatre, visual arts, and the execution, exhibition, or presentation of such allied cultural forms.

The first rule of a gunfight: "Don't be there !"
The second rule: "Bring enough gun"

showing respect through the course of your car stop of course is important - but, showing or informing an LEO (unless theres good cause) that your armed has nothing to do with respect.
It should be (on a need to know basis) and only when and if it needs to be known otherwise what difference does it make.
I must differ with the thought that ones behavior is what causes one to be stopped. Profiling is another tool.
I do not yet have my CCW. I do travel, by road, a great deal on business. I do posses, legally, weapons in my vehicle when traveling.
Recently I was driving from the Florida panhandle to Charlotte, NC. Middle aged white guy with short neat hair, decently dressed. Driving an F250 towing a trailer at 68 mph in a 70 mph zone on I-85 in South Carolina. I see a city patrol car parked in the grass of the gore point on an on-ramp. Car is marked "Interdiction Unit" on the front fender.
5-6 miles up the road I do one of my periodic mirror check and there is the city cop lighting me up.
I signal and stop on the right shoulder. As he walks up to the passenger window I note that he sticks his head between the truck and trailer to look at the back of the truck. I have my hands on the wheel, keys on the dash the entire time. He arrives at the window and asks for the my license, which I produce. He then states that he pulled me for my damaged tag-the one on the truck, slightly dented from back up to the trailer solo. He asks me to remove my sunglasses, looks me in the eye and tells me to get the tag fixed/replaced and sends me on the way. We were both respectful/polite and it was painless.
No way he saw that tag from his position. I was profiled as a drug runner is what I figure. Lone male towing a trailer from the south? Anyway, firearms never came up, total time lost was under 5 minutes.
If things went just slightly different and his suspisions were aroused I am certain I would have spent quite a bit of time on the shoulder of I-85. How would, if I was CCW and permitted, the stop have gone with and without informing. No way of doing a control group.
My point is that there are all kinds of reasons one gets stopped and all kinds of potential reactions. I believe in all cases respect gets the nod.

Here's what Tesla's 'good faith' patent stance actually means June 14, 2014 9:57 AM | Eric Blattberg Legally, Tesla could still charge for access to its patented technologies.

- " Reall cool, friendly place but expensive for a hostel and the directions walking there are very confusing. I never actually saw the IJ tunnell. Print out your own directions beforehand if possible. Loved staying on a ship. Room was very small, but that's understandable. EXCELLENT FREE BREAKFAST! Run by a helpful and friendly young couple. "

- " Very nice stuff! Dave and Annie were so lovely, helpful and just as kind as possible :) Had so much fun in there place, they gave useful advices where to go and what to see, and Dave told very funny stories at night about life and Nelson "The First" :D best guys! Definitely wanna go back to visit them "

- " Dave and Anni run an amazing ship, and the experience made my boyfriend's and my stay in Amsterdam so much more fun. Fantastic location walking distance from Centraal meant we never needed to rent a cab, and they even gave us a whole map of recommendations. The cabins were tight but cozy as expected, but the best feature is the living room / dining area they put together on the top deck. 2 euro beers, cozy decor day & night, I just can't say enough good things about our experience! "
- 18 Jun 2014 Anonymous USA
- " It was unfortunately not well soundproofed and, therefore, noisy, especially during the night, because of the other guests slamming doors and speaking to one another very loudly in the corridor or in their own rooms, even at 2 or 5 in the morning! Apart from that, Dave & Anni are really nice hosts, they give you great advice to visit Amsterdam, the sitting room on the upper deck is comfortable, for a cup of coffee or even for diner (the homemade pizza is delicious)! "
- 28 May 2014 Daphnee France
- " We stayed on the Avanti for 5 days and expected space to be tight, but were very pleasantly surprised that our cabin (with 2 small beds attached to the wall) had its own sink and enough room for us and our (lots of) luggage to sleep. The BEST part of our stay was Dave and Annie! They kept the ship spotlessly clean, and the upper deck common area was a great place to relax and meet people. The ambiance and location are ideal, and a lot of love has gone into that ship: it felt like coming home :) "

Thomas Merton is far better than Suzuki, than Alan Watts, than Paul Reps, than Hubert Benoit, and than many others who have written about Zen. He comes the closest, because he is not speaking through the head, he is speaking through the heart of a poet.
But the heart is only just in the middle, between the head and the being. Unless you reach to the being, you don't have the experience yourself. But he was a sensitive man; he managed to state things which he had not experienced.
His statement is beautiful, but it shows clearly that he had not experienced it himself. This is his understanding - of course, far deeper than any other Western scholar of Zen. If it had really been a direct experience for him, the way he was saying, he would not have cared about anybody's permission, he would not have cared about Christianity. He would have come out of that fold - which was just a slavery and nothing else.
Because he never came out of the fold, that shows he was hanging in the middle, he was not yet certain. He had not tasted the truth. He had only heard about it, read about it, and felt that there seems to be a different approach, altogether different, from that of Christianity. But Christianity was still keeping its hold over him. He could not be a rebel, and that's where he failed, completely failed.
A man of Zen is basically rebellious. Thomas Merton was not rebellious, he was a very obedient person. Obedience is another name for slavery, a beautiful name that does not hurt you, but it is spiritual slavery. His asking six times and being refused, and still remaining in the fold, shows clearly that he was spiritually a slave. Although he was showing a deep interest in Zen, it was at the most, deeper than the mind, but not deep enough to reach to the being. He remained hanging in the middle. Perhaps now in his new life, he may either be here, or in Japan - most probably he is here amongst you - because that was his last wish before he died.
As the conference ended and he went to his bed, immediately he was poisoned. While he was dying, thinking about Zen, his last wish must have been to go to Japan, to be with a master. He had lived under Christianity his whole life, but it had not fulfilled him, it had not made him enlightened. It had only been a consolation.
Only fools can be deceived by consolations and lies and fictions. A man of such intense sensitivity as Thomas Merton could not be befooled. But a lifelong obedience turned into a spiritual slavery. He tried to sneak out from Bangkok - because there was no need to ask the abbot of the monastery, there was no need to ask the pope. He could have simply gone from Bangkok.

Hilarious Heavenly Jokes
One day God was looking down from the heavens to earth below and saw all of the evil that was going on.
He decided to send an angel down to earth to check it out so he called on a female angel and sent her to earth for a time. When she returned she told God, "yes it is bad on earth, 95% is bad and 5% is good."
Well, He thought for a moment and said maybe I had better send down a male angel. To get both points of view. So God called a male angel and sent him to earth for a time. When the male angel returned he went to God and told him yes the earth was in decline, 95% was bad and 5% was good.
God said this was not good. He would send a letter to the 5% that were good and encourage them, something to help them keep going. Do you know what that letter said?
Oh, so you didn't get one either?!!!

Dolphins' charter jet clips airplane
GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP)
An American Airlines plane chartered by the Miami Dolphins clipped a parked plane as it prepared to take off from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says no one was hurt but both American Airlines jets were damaged in the incident early Thursday.
American Airlines spokeswoman Andrea Huguely (HEWG'-lee) says the winglet of a Boeing 767 clipped the tail of an empty MD-80. The incident happened in a non-operational area where the airline provides charter service.
Both jets were taken out of service and the incident is under investigation.
She says a replacement American Airlines jet delivered the Dolphins to Miami around 7:30 a.m. EDT Thursday.
The Dolphins lost to the Dallas Cowboys 30-13 in their preseason finale Wednesday night.

ACDA International Conductors Exchange ProgramThe ACDA International Conductors Exchange Program (ICEP) was inaugurated in 2010 with a highly successful exchange with Cuba coinciding with the 2012 division conferences. In 2014, this extraordinary program will work with China and our partner, the China Chorus Association, to provide once again the opportunity to create meaningful international collaborations that will coincide with all seven division conferences. To this end, we have established an ongoing exchange program of potential leaders from the U.S. choral community and their international counterparts.
ACDA is pleased to announce the 2015 International Conductors Exchange Program (ICEP) with Sweden. ICEP is providing opportunities for the next generation of choral leaders to represent the United States as ambassadors to the world in the exchange of music, ideas, and cultures. In 2015, ACDA will host fourteen choral conductors from Sweden who will travel to the United States to be official guests in each of the seven divisions and at the National Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. "In turn, the U.S. conductors will have the opportunity to participate in Nordic Choral Directors' Conference in Copenhagen/Malmö October 2nd - 4th, 2015, arranged by Swedish and Danish Choral Directors Association. The official language of the conference is English but some of the seminars will be held in the Scandinavian languages."
If you have questions concerning ICEP in your division, please reach out to your ICEP Division Liaisons. They are:

Blues goalie Brian Elliott day to day
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Blues goalie Brian Elliott left practice early Tuesday with what the team called a minor upper-body injury.
Western Conference Playoffs
Get all the news and commentary on the Blues-Sharks matchup on ESPN.com's matchup page.
• LeBrun: Series preview
• SN: Who will win? | Your traditions
• Playoffs schedule | Cross Checks blog
"He's got a little bit of an upper-body issue, day to day," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said.
The Blues had two on-ice sessions Tuesday, and Elliott didn't come out for the second one.
"Rather than just try to squeeze the big, long (practice), we took him (out after) the short one and we'll get him back out here tomorrow or the next day and see how it is. He'll be fine though," Hitchcock said.
"We didn't want to aggravate it. We've been nursing it for a week. We didn't want to take him too far down the lineup. He got a lot of work in the first 45 minutes."
Elliott, who didn't speak to reporters Tuesday, led the NHL this season with a 1.56 goals-against average and a .940 save percentage.
Hitchcock has not yet tipped his hand on which goalie would start Thursday night in Game 1 against the San Jose Sharks. Jaroslav Halak is the other part of the league-leading tandem that allowed the fewest goals this season.
Hitchcock said he would announce his starter Wednesday.

Why General Electric (GE) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- General Electric (GE - Get Report) rose Monday amid news that French president Francois Hollande would not oppose the company's potential $13 billion deal to acquire Alstom SA.
GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt met with Hollande in Paris, and Bloomberg reports the French government does not oppose GE's proposal even though the meeting centered on job protection and the maintaining the independence of France's nuclear industry.
French officials have urged Alstom to also consider a bid from Germany's Siemens, but the government does not favor either option, according to the report.
The $13 billion deal would be the largest acquisition in GE's history.
The stock ticked upward 0.41% to $26.71 at 11:18 a.m. on Monday. Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. ---------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates GENERAL ELECTRIC CO as a "buy" with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate GENERAL ELECTRIC CO (GE) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance and reasonable valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- GE's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 0.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- GENERAL ELECTRIC CO's earnings per share declined by 17.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, GENERAL ELECTRIC CO increased its bottom line by earning $1.47 versus $1.38 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.70 versus $1.47).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed against the S&P 500 and did not exceed that of the Industrial Conglomerates industry. The net income has decreased by 15.0% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $3,527.00 million to $2,999.00 million.

text: If I was looking to later upgrade GLIBC, is there any disadvantage to doing this? Can it mess things up and break all of the programs that are linked to it? For example, as future patches and version of GCC and GLIBC beyond GLIBC2.3.1 and GCC3.2 come out? More from a technical standpoint. I know I can do it from a user standpoint, but I'm more curious regarding what I can break technically in a production system.
