Hi, I'm a newbie here, but I already want to bring all the benefits of me :) So, I want to share my experience with you..
9 days ago, accidentally, i had found the Mobile Phone TV...and I was so delighted with this application
that I decided to talk to you :)
I consider myself a bit of a road warrior. I am on and off jets and through airports at least twice,
usually 4 times a week. I can catch up on news, watch a Discovery program, check up on the stock market or just find something interesting.
The live guide works like cable at home and the connection speed is very good. All in ALL - I RATE A 5 Star program!
but I do not want to leave any links here, so you can email me firstname.lastname@example.com
and i will give you the site of this unusual program :)
(but please don't PM me, because it's so difficult to communicate in such kind of way)
so, I hope I was helpful to you)) see you in next posts ..
your Alexis....
p.s. English is not my native language, so sorry for any mistakes :) - January 25, 2011 at 9:22 AM

No sign of Scott Brown in Senate debates
The scenario could repeat itself in July when radio station WGIR in Manchester hosts its GOP primary debates, and again in August, when the Exeter Republican Town Committee, the Rockingham County Republican Committee and the Seacoast Republican Women host a Republican candidates debate.
A fourth candidate, Karen Testerman, dropped out of the race Friday.Peterson said notices went out to all the campaigns in March.
A stark contrastThe fact that all the candidates in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate have yet to appear on the same stage together stands in stark contrast to the last time New Hampshire had a contested Senate primary.
"He's playing it as if he has already won," said David McCray, chairman of the Merrimack Business Association and a former Merrimack town councilor, of Brown's absence from the debate schedule so far.
McCray offered Brown the opportunity to meet with the business association at a later date, but rescinded that offer when he learned that Brown had attempted unsuccessfully to schedule an editorial board meeting with the Nashua Telegraph on June 18.
Will that empty seat still be there if Brown is not?
"That's not our game," said McCray. "That's grandstanding and taking away from the other candidates. But we're not going to give him protected status if people want to make comments about him. Just because you decide not to show up doesn't make you a sacred cow."

A trio of run-scoring extra-base hits propelled the New York Mets to a 3-2 victory before 49,006 in the first game of a four-game weekend series at Dodger Stadium.
The loss was the fifth straight for the Dodgers and ninth in the last 10 contests, and it dropped them a game behind the San Francisco Giants in the National League West.
Matt Kemp, on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain, missed his 41st game of the season, and Andre Ethier was out with a strained left oblique, an injury he suffered Wednesday against the Giants in San Francisco. Thursday was just the third game the Dodgers have played all season with both Ethier and Kemp out of the lineup.
"When you have Ethier and Kemp out of the lineup at the same time, you've got to take advantage," said Mets manager Terry Collins.
David Wright went 2-for-3 with a walk for the Mets to increase his road batting average to .409, best in the majors. Wright has reached base via hit or walk in 18 consecutive games.
Chris Young (2-1) pitched into the seventh inning for his third straight start, giving the Mets his third consecutive quality start. He didn't walk a batter in 6 1/3 innings, and he allowed two runs on six hits while striking out six for his second win of the season.
Bobby Parnell pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his first save of the season for the Mets.
"I thought it was a great outing for him. Obviously his stuff is electric," Collins said. "It was a huge step forward."
Former Met Chris Capuano (9-3) allowed three runs in seven innings and struck out five, the third straight quality start by a Dodgers pitcher, but he was saddled with his third loss of the season.
"I knew it was going to be a tough night, but as tough as it was I felt we were going to break through at some point," Capuano said.
The Mets opened the scoring in the first inning when Ruben Tejada singled through the hole at shortstop with one out and advanced to second base on a wild pitch. Wright doubled down the third-base line to score Tejada.
Wright led off the top of the fourth inning by hitting a slider from Capuano into the left-field pavilion for a 2-0 lead. The home run was the ninth of the season for Wright, who moved into a third-place tie with Howard Johnson in franchise history with 192 career home runs.
Dee Gordon led off the bottom of the fourth for the Dodgers with a double to right center field, then scored two pitches later when Elian Herrera tripled over the head of a drawn-in Andres Torres in center field. Juan Rivera singled to center field to score Herrera tie the score at 2.
The fourth-inning runs for the Dodgers snapped a streak of 33 consecutive scoreless innings, dating back to Sunday against the Angels in Anaheim.
"It felt good to score a couple of runs to be honest with you," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. "We didn't do enough to win the game, but at least it was a game you felt like you were in all day until the end."
The Mets regained the lead in the top of the fifth inning when catcher Mike Nickeas singled with one out, was sacrificed to second by Young, then scored on an opposite-field double to shallow right field by Torres for a 3-2 advantage.

12th Annual Brothers Show & Shine
Written by on March 7, 2011 The 12th Annual Was Their Best YetIt's a subject that's hardly ever discussed in mixed company civilly, but there's almost as much rivalry between Chevrolet and GMC truck owners as there is Ford and Chevy. A good example to illustrate just how tough the competition is between the two brands is the annual show and shine held by the folks at Brothers Truck in Southern California. Since late in the 20th century when the Brothers show first began, the number of great GMC and Chevrolet trucks participating has grown to more than 300 with an attendance of nearly 2,500 people for the 12th Annual held in 2010. Everyone with a Chevy or GMC is invited, and they show up in droves. Such was the case for Central California's C10 Club that rolled in 22 trucks deep and took the award for Best Participation, in addition to receiving individual awards. When it comes to out-pointing the next guy's interior, it's pretty hard to stack up against a Suburban. C10 club member Ace from Clovis took the award for Best '67-'72 Suburban Interior with his laser red 'Burb, and Chris Markley won Best '60-'66 Interior with his '66.
Getting back to that GMC versus Chevy thing, you'll notice there's almost as many good looking GMCs as there are Chevys, and as one spectator was overheard to say, "Gosh, there's hardly any Fords here at all." For a more in-depth look at who won what, check out www.brotherstrucks.com.

KimHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairAmazing!!!!This mini styler packs a powerful punch!!! I tried this on my daughter's hair and we were both in awe. She has very thick and course hair and this little iron worked right down to the roots...It works wonders and leaves the hair very light! We love it so much, that I just purchased the 1-1/4" Solia flat iron today! You cannot go wrong with Solia.posted Aug 29, 2011Link to this post
JennyHairAuburnColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairGreat Little IronI got this iron free with a purchase and I have to say that I really like it. I use it primarily for touch ups and doing smaller curls in my hair. It works surprisingly well for curling hair as well as straightening. The barell is a little small, but overall this is a very nice little iron. It gets very hot very fast, and I learned you have to really watch where you put your fingers, but it only took one use for me to figure that out. Overall, I would recommend this product.posted Aug 11, 2011Link to this post
Cheryl B.OhioHairDark BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairFirst Place!After many purchases of full size and mini irons, I finally have one that I love. It is a perfect size, has plenty of heat and performs beyond my expectations. I have short hair and a beautiful cut that could be totally care free. I just like a little "polish" to my style and this iron gives me a "professional" finish every day.posted Aug 2, 2011Link to this post

StephBuffalo, NYHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairSmall & Powerful!I have 4b/c hair & I'm seven weeks post. I used this on my roots only & it did such a great job! Does not snag hair at all. This will be my primary use for this as I have the 1.5 inch solia if I want to iron the full lenght of my hair.
BE SURE TO USE A HEAT PROTECTANT as the only downfall is there is no heat setting & it gets really hot! One pass is just enoughposted May 13, 2011Link to this post -
MjSF, CAHairDark BrownNormal HairNice Little Ironit works, but doesn't have temp control as with most mini flat irons so what can I say.
It does what it's suppose to...
The cool thing is the swivel of the cord, which other mini irons do not have.
But it didn't come with a case, so storing it is kind of an issue.posted May 11, 2011Link to this post -
GabbyMNHairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairNot For MeThis came as a free gift with a $75 purchase and I was pretty excited to try it out as I was going on a trip across seas in a few weeks. The iron is weirdly shaped and the convex/concave plates only made very tight ringlets when i tried to curl my hair. I tried a few times to make larger curls by taking more/less hair and going faster/slower, but it was unsuccessful and the ringlets were super small and kinked. Straightening was a nightmare as the plates are super small and only a few inches long so I can't imagine myself relying on this tool to do my whole head. I can see it being good for someone with very short hair or maybe just doing bangs, but mine is shoulder length with no bangs so it unfortunately will not be coming with me on vacation. Nice to try it out free, though I wouldn't have kept it if I had paid.posted Apr 15, 2011Link to this post

Product Details
Dodge Charger 2011, Cool Air Intake Kit with Pro 5 Filter and Airbox by Volant®. Cooler air is denser and packs in more oxygen for better combustion and more horsepower. This air intake system features an airbox that completely insulates the air filter from engine heat, making sure only cool air reaches your engine. The result is quicker throttle response, improved acceleration and better fuel economy.
- Protective and insulating Airbox
- Quicker throttle response
- Improved fuel economy
- Custom designed for each application
- Works with OEM computer system
- Includes reusable Pro 5 air filter
- High Performance Silicone connectors
- Marine grade Stainless Steel clamps
- Easy to install
- Backed by a one-year warranty
- Made in U.S.A.
There are many cool air intake kits on the market, but how many deliver what they promise? All claim to position the air filter where it will draw in cool air. Some include barriers that are supposed to shield the air filter from engine heat. Only Volant features a sealed Cool Airbox that thoroughly insulates and protects the air filter from engine heat, moisture, dust and debris.
The engineers at Volant designed the Cool Airbox to house a large free-flowing Pro 5 air filter. The Pro 5 air filter, constructed of high grade cotton filter media with 5 layers of protection, is washable and reusable. It reduces air restriction and increases engine output by using precision pleat geometry that optimizes airflow throughout the intake system. The airbox air intake is located so the air filter can only draw in cooler, ambient air. Access to the air filter for servicing is provided by an attractive polished aluminum or carbon fiber look lid.
From the airbox, cool air proceeds to your engine through Volant's Cross-Link polyethylene air duct. Unlike OEM air ducts that have sound baffles and make awkward bends, the Volant air duct is sculptured to give the engine less restrictive breathing, incorporating larger diameters and unique bends that can't be duplicated with metal ducts. (Also, unlike metal ducts, the polyethylene Volant air duct doesn't conduct engine heat right into the intake airflow, thereby defeating the purpose of a cool air intake!) The end result is maximum airflow velocity and quicker throttle response.
Every Volant Cool Air Intake Kit comes complete with everything necessary for installation, including comprehensive installation instructions. All clamps and connectors are made from quality materials. The Silicone connectors provide flexibility while maintaining strength and thermal stability; they won't crack or deform over time like rubber connectors. The marine-grade stainless steel clamps provide a solid seal that won't loosen or deteriorate.
290.66Volant® is the innovator of the Cool Air Intake System. They combine creative ideas with careful planning to develop air intake systems that ensure the engine takes in only cool air. Their innovative sealed air intakes with Cool Air Box are much different than open element style systems with "air dams". Every system is specifically designed for each application and rigorously tested to ensure it provides consistent improvement over the factory air intake system. A Volant Cool Air Intake System will provide the reliable performance your vehicle deserves, for many thousands of miles. All Volant air intake systems are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A., at their Rancho Cucamonga, California facility.

Replacement Antenna Information
Choose from top brands including: Hirschmann, Genuine, Dorman, Harada, Replacement, APA/URO Parts, AC Delco, Action Crash, Crown Automotive and Professional Parts Sweden.
Radio waves are all around us. However, without the ability to collect and transmit these invisible sources of entertainment, you would never know it. In terms of automobiles, access to the radio is the only thing keeping commuters sane during their daily traffic jam. As such, radio reception is important to many drivers. The key to keeping that crystal-clear sound pumping through your speakers is the vehicle antenna. This component is typically a long metal rod, although newer antennas are sometimes shorter and covered in molded rubber. Some types can retract into the car's frame when not in use. Others dutifully stand at full mast for eternity. Whatever the shape or size, proper function of the antenna improves radio reception for long-lasting enjoyment. Essentially, they work by generating an electromagnetic field to create an alternating current that collects and sends radio waves into your stereo. The farther away from a radio station's tower, the more likely the need for a high-powered radio receiver. High-gain models are available for maximum performance. Everyday, hundreds of drivers choose PartsGeek.com for affordable automotive products.
A motorized Dorma Antenna enhances a truck's looks and averts antenna accidents.
Your Hirschmann Power Antenna might be permanent or powered and allows your radio to capture radio stations.

This product was priced fairly, identical to the OEM, and came promptly. I saved a bundle over having the dealer install it. Thank you.
The antenna was a perfect fit and with little effort to install, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE PRICE, I would have giving it a VERY SATISFIED. Not PARTSGEEK FAULT!
Just plain lucky that someone carried this product. It works awesome, thanks for being here and providing what we needed.
This antenna works perfectly for my 2008 Jetta. My previous antenna was broken. All I had to do was unscrew the old one, and screw in the new one. Brainless, and now my radio works like new.
Excited to have my car restored to its original vintage look,awesome!! TY geeks
I've owned my BMW for 25 years, and have replaced the mast 3 times. The antenna finally stripped out, so I replaced the whole unit this time. Easy to install and working great. Just hope it has more oomph, as promised, than its predecessor.

Your cart is empty!
love this product! I just started using it and I already feel the softness on my face. I look forward to putting it every night.
i have battled red, dry, flaky parts of skin on my face since puberty hit; particularly the folds of my nose and my eyebrow area(s). at 28 years old, i had literally tried everything over-the-counter intended for use on sensitive skin. they only made my situation worse, so i avoided washing my face altogether and just relied on a prescription steroid cream for the frequent flare-ups i endured. i was afraid of getting my face wet at all because when it would dry, my sensitive areas would be redder, drier, and flakier than before. my dermatologist told me that it is essential to wash my face of dirt and grime daily. when i told him about my problems, he told me about aquanil. not only is aquanil the ONLY product i've ever used that didn't worsen my problem areas, it's the ONLY product i've used that's actually helped them! in conjunction with a lighter prescription cream which i apply once a week, i use aquanil every morning when i shower (and sometimes before i go to bed if i've been particularly active and sweating during the day). i cannot tell you how much this product has literally changed my life. the persistent and seemingly unending red blotches and flakes i lived with for 15 years are all but gone (occasionally, the folds of my nose will still flare-up, but only during seasonal/weather changes - and the aquanil knocks them out in 48 hours). if you've had similar trial-and-error disappointments with alleged "sensitive skin" cleansers like i had, worry no more and look no further than aquanil.
I like the fact that this cocoa butter is fragrance free as I seem to be sensitive to lotions that have a heavy fragrance. Lotion was creamy and long lasting. A little too heavy for my needs, but did work well on dry skin.
I have been using expensive products most of my life, when I stumbled across an old article on cold cream, well this is heaven, I put some on,..let it sit,...whipe it off with a hankerchief, my skin is clean no need to wash your face, my face is supple not greasy.

I didn't realize that this product wasn't re-manufactured by HP. With that aside, the savings are useless. Every page prints with large blotches of ink, or completely blurred. It's as if I'm using an old ink cartridge. This is certainly one of the worse purchases I have ever made.
great to find an ink replacement cartridge that doesn't break the bank
I thought I would save money and get these cheaper ink cartridges for my HP printer. I just ran out of the HP ink the printer came with when I bought it. and I had no idea how sorry I would be for not spending the extra $25 to buy real HP ink. The very first day I installed them I noticed my printer was making loud clicking sounds and printing a blurred and watered down mess, I didn't think it could be the ink, how could ink cause this much damage. I continued to use the ink in my new printer and it only got worse.. If the printer sat for any length of time (a day) without use the quality of the printing declined 100%. I had to run through an entire maintenance process, clean the print heads and align them every time before I could print anything, and most of the time I had to run 3 or more copied before I got a legible page. I am not exaggerating at all either. I printed an article one day and forgot all about it. Later I went back and saw a piece of paper in the tray with one black smudge mark through the center and a large black blot at the top. I couldn't tell what it was until I remembered the article I printed earlier. It was not recognizable. Not even one letter could be distinguished as a letter on the page. Every time I used the printer I got more and more frustrated,,,, and I thought it was the printer that was failing, not the ink . After a month I had enough and I called HP for warranty service. I explained the noises and that I couldnt print a legible page or photo that was anything more than a page of black and yellow smudges. Once I mentioned "generic" ink they told me to call back after I replaced the generic with a quality HP ink. They had seen it before and if they did work on it now the tests and troubleshooting could cause permanent damage to the printer (if it wasn't already ruined). So I ordered the HP ink and installed them 3 days ago. Amazingly after printing a bout 4 to 5 pages just to clear the lumpy ink out of the print heads my print was clear and bright again. It was unbelievable to me to see how much difference it made. I am so glad I didn't permanently damage the printer. I don't need to call HP for warranty service anymore, the ink was the issue all along. Once it was changed the grinding and clicking stopped and every page I print is perfect! I still have 1 full cartridge of black " ink" and 4 other half empty cartridges that I am going to just throw away. They are no good to anyone and I will never put that stuff in my printer again, even if I need a spare cartridge down the road, I wouldn't think of using these! And I see they don't allow refunds on their product either.Hmmm, they don't want it back and I see why they don't. I learned the hard way... please don't make the same mistake I did. If you don't believe me take these partially empty ones... on second thought I don't want to be responsible for the damage to your printer :) I Hope this review helped.

Diagon Alley
this wiki
- "Harry wished he had eight more eyes... There were shops selling robes, shops selling telescopes and strange silver instruments Harry had never seen before, windows stacked with barrels of bat spleens and eels' eyes, tottering piles of spell books, quills, and rolls of parchment, potion bottles, globes of the moon...."
- —Description of Harry Potter's first visit in Diagon Alley[src]
Diagon Alley is a cobbled wizarding alley and shopping area located in London, England behind a pub called the Leaky Cauldron. Inside the alley is an assortment of restaurants, shops, and other sights. All items on the Hogwarts supply list can be bought at Diagon Alley. The alley is completely hidden from the Muggle world which is right outside of its boundaries. It is very large in area and essentially the centre of wizarding London.
It is a popular historical theory that the oldest building in Diagon Alley is Gringotts Wizarding Bank and that the other shops grew up around it. [1] However, there is a possibility that Ollivanders Wand Shop is the oldest building, records dating back to the late fourth century B.C.
Harry Potter's 1991 visit
Harry Potter's first visit to Diagon Alley with Rubeus Hagrid marked his re-introduction to the wizarding world. Hagrid helped Harry shop for his school supplies, and purchased Harry's eleventh birthday present, the snowy owl Hedwig, from Eeylops Owl Emporium. Harry also purchased his wand from Ollivanders Wand Shop, and presumably, the other members of Harry's year, including Hermione Granger, did the same.
Return of the Dark Lord
- "The colourful, glittering window displays of spellbooks, potion ingredients, and cauldrons were lost to view, hidden behind the large Ministry of Magic posters that had been pasted over them. Most of these somber purple posters carried blown-up versions of the security advice on the Ministry pamphlets that had been sent out over the summer, but others bore moving black-and-white photographs of Death Eaters known to be on the loose. […] A few windows were boarded up, including those of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. On the other hand, a number of shabby-looking stalls had sprung up along the street."
- —Description[src]
In 1996, the return of Voldemort affected the appearance of Diagon Alley dramatically. Wizards and witches no longer felt safe wandering out in public. The once-crowded streets stood virtually empty, the few shoppers staying together in groups; "Wanted" posters with the faces of Death Eaters plastered the fronts of once-bright shops and street stalls popped up, hawking "protective" amulets and charms.
Ollivanders Wand Shop and Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour were closed following the Death Eater attack, in which Garrick Ollivander was kidnapped and Florean Fortescue was kidnapped and later murdered. Several other shops, like Scribbulus Writing Instruments, appeared to have been boarded up as well.
In comparison, the shopfront of Fred and George Weasley's joke shop, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, "hit the eye like a firework display". The windows were full of colourful assortments of goods that "revolved, popped, flashed, bounced, and shrieked." Passers-by seemed to be stunned and transfixed by this.
When the Death Eaters took over the Ministry, the Alley was patrolled by Snatchers.
Diagon Alley is accessible from Muggle London through the Leaky Cauldron, which is on Charing Cross Road, set between a bookshop and a record shop. The Muggles who pass by the inn seem to be "quite unconscious" of its existence. Knockturn Alley, a dark artefacts area, is an offshoot of Diagon Alley.[2]
- "Welcome, Harry, to Diagon Alley."
- —Rubeus Hagrid to Harry Potter during Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley.[src]
The entrance is behind the The Leaky Cauldron in a small, walled courtyard with a trash can. Diagon Alley can be accessed by tapping the correct brick in the wall behind the Leaky Cauldron (from the trash can, three up and two across). The wall goes in a small hole first but forms a large archway.[2] It can also be accessed by Floo powder[3] and Apparition. There may be other entrances as well.
Diagon Alley connects to a second, less reputable shopping district, Knockturn Alley.
Inside the Alley is an assortment of restaurants, shops, and other sights; some even have tables out front with coloured umbrellas.[4] Particularly during the days or weeks before school starts at Hogwarts, the location is packed with witches and wizards, though shops are open year-round as witches and wizards travel to the location for various goods. While the shops include many school-supply locations, there are also many locations important to the wizarding world, such as Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Ollivanders Wand Shop. Diagon Alley is also the location of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, established by Fred and George Weasley shortly after leaving Hogwarts[5].

- Ollivanders Wand Shop: Ollivanders Wand Shop is the sole wand shop of Diagon Alley. Peeling gold letters over the door of the shop read: Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C.. The shop's display consists of a solitary wand laying on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window. The shop is tiny, empty except for a single, spindly chair in the corner. Thousands of narrow boxes containing wands are piled right up to the ceiling of the tiny shop, and the whole place has a thin layer of dust about it.

- Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes: Located at 93 Diagon Alley, it is a joke shop owned by Fred and George Weasley. It sells practical joke objects, such as Extendable Ears, a Reusable Hangman, and Fred and George's special WonderWitch products, such as love potions and ten-second pimple remover.

- Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment: A miscellaneous equipment shop.
- Various stalls and peddlers: There are a variety of street peddlers who take up space in between shops out on the main thoroughfare of Diagon Alley. Included are: a flower vendor, a vendor who is selling roasted chestnuts, and a jewellery vendor.
The words "Diagon" and "Alley" when pronounced together, produce the word "diagonally" which is most probably the origin of the name "Diagon Alley". When Harry mispronounced the name due to inhaling a mouthful of ash, he landed in a fireplace in nearby Knockturn Alley.
Behind the scenes
- In the United States, there is a shop which is a remake of Diagon Alley in Los Angeles, California called Whimsic Alley (which is a play on the word "whimsically"). The store features false store fronts inside the shop which mimic those of the "real" Diagon Alley, where many Harry Potter and wizard themed items can be purchased.[6]
- In the film Eat, Pray, Love there is a set that looks very much like the set used for Diagon Alley.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid taps a series of bricks to enter Diagon Alley instead of one brick (three up two across).
- The 2-disc DVD edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets includes an interactive tour of Diagon Alley, including non-interactive interior views of several shops, and an interactive exploration of Flourish and Blotts.
- As depicted in the films, Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley are strictly pedestrian precincts, as the streets are too narrow to accommodate either vehicular or carriage traffic. Presumably magical means are exercised for stocking the shops, eliminating the need for standard transportation corridors.
- As depicted in the films, Diagon Alley was inspired by the look of London in the early 1800s, but with fantastical touches, such as buildlings leaning at such sharp angles that they would surely fall if not supported by magic.[7]
- There is a LEGO version which has a release date of 1 January, 2011. It has three main buildings. It includes mini-figures which have appeared in several of the Harry Potter films.

Occasional announcements sent by Streaming Media, or on behalf of our advertising partners, on what we feel are important offers, developments, publications, and events in the streaming/online video industry.
Streaming Media magazine and Unisphere Research, along with key sponsor and research partner Akamai, set about to gauge the State of CDN Services. We asked survey respondents to provide details of both their viewing habits as well as their assessment of CDN services, both in terms of expected terabytes served and CDN features.
Our research centered on industry experts, media engineers and executive management, so we asked questions that provided insight into both the actual and intended uses of CDN services. We found three primary results: Our survey takers tend to be fragmented when it comes to primary media consumption devices, tend to work for companies that either deliver less than 1TB or more than 100TB of online content per month, and are almost equally concerned with pricing in CDN service models as with the need to maintain multi-screen delivery to existing and emerging media consumption devices.
Some key results of the study include:
OTT video is maturing towards a pay environment, with sustainable business models. Premium content delivery is becoming a more significant component of the overall online video business, thereby transitioning OTT delivery towards a pay-TV model. Obtaining broad content rights to stream video to multiple screens is felt to be a significant business growth obstacle.
These are some of the findings of a new StreamingMedia.com survey of media industry executives, which sought to uncover their views on the current and future state of OTT video from inside the trenches.

Half the fleet (heavy guys) couldn't stay on plane or make much upwind progress while Gonzalo made it look easy. No doubt he is extremely good in light winds.

gaastra Vapor board really sucks in light air... ...Steve is a former champ and probably would have hidden that. Would you like Bark tell me about Melo's bros?Usually Fabio and Victor are faster than Gabri but this time they were on Vapor combo.... |
5th March 2008 02:57 PM | ||
barks | But last year was heavy wind and even Micah? landing a top spot, right. Antoine seems to hand it to anyone with enough wind. I remember Jesper Vesterstrom writing that he struggled severely with the wind last year. This year he wrote that it was very light and all about tactical racing, which I believe helped even the field (i.e. eliminate AA's advantage) and thus Gonzalo won due to his lightwind skills (and good tactics). That also leads me to believe that Gaastra may have won the regatta had Steve Allen been there as he has normally been able to beat Gonzalo and Jesper in such conditions, last year also on an older 160. | |

http://www.calema.com/midwinters/ then click on Midwinters results button. we uploaded the results there. yes this is the right link and this year's results. Make sure you reload or refresh your browser. Gonzalo's win was no fluke. Sometimes he had a huge lead you dont get this sort of distance without some advantage and I think the board is it. LAst year Antoine totally dominated with his speed. This year things were more even with others, but Gonzalo was ON and he he could comfortable gain on others. I will also upload some more shots soon. Still trying to take a nap |

Hunters May Find A Number of Private Lands Locked Up
Hunters heading out Saturday on the opening day of deer season in Oregon will find locked gates at the entrances to most private timberlands in the state because of the wildfire danger. The director of forest protection for the Oregon Forest Industries Council, Mike Dykzeul, told the Statesman Journal about 50 percent more member acres are closed this year due to dry conditions.
Hunter information booths are being set up at a half-dozen locations on major routes to Eastern Oregon.

Rock Band 3 brings real instruments to rhythm gaming
Rock Band 3 brings a number of major additions to the rhythm genre
Article Summary
After a disappointing year of sales for the industry's leading rhythm games it would seem as though it's time for a bit of a shake up, and from what we've read so far, Rock Band should be getting the upper hand. Following Harmonix's announcement of Rock Band Network beta, it has now revealed details of Rock Band 3. Set to bring a whole new level of realism to the genre, the most immediate and exciting improvement is its compatibility with "real instruments," thereby offering budding musicians an exciting interactive platform on which to learn.

Image © 2004 César Rincón. Kneeling in the mud by a country road on a cold drizzly day recently, we finally appreciated the wonder that is a lever. We were trying to change a flat tyre and even jumping on the end of the wheel wrench wouldn't budge the wheel nuts. But when the AA arrived they undid them with ease, thanks to a wheel wrench that was three times the size of ours. There you have it ... size really does matter! A lever is a truly remarkable device that can literally give any of us the strength of ten men. You can counteract 10 men pushing down on one side of a see-saw by applying just 1/10th of their force, as long as you are 10 times further from the see-saw's centre as they are. This is because the forces acting on a lever are proportional to the distances they are from the fulcrum. In this way a small amount of force moving a longer distance can move a large load over a smaller distance. Levers are working hard all around us: in see-saws (where the fulcrum is between the loads), in wheel barrows (where the load is between the fulcrum and the force) and even in our very jaws (where the force is applied between the fulcrum and the load). Archimedes was the first to mathematically describe how levers work and famously said: "Give me fulcrum and I shall move the Earth with a lever." And give us a long enough wheel wrench and we might just be able to change my next flat tyre for ourselves! You can read more about mechanics on Plus. Return to the Plus Advent Calendar |

A polyhedron is the 3D version of a polygon. It's a solid object whose surface is made up of a number of polygonal faces. Two faces meet in an edge and the corners of a polyhedron are called vertices. Euler's polyhedron formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a pretty amazing equation relating the number of edges, of vertices and of faces of a polyhedron: The amazing thing is that this formula holds for all polyhedra, except for those that have holes running through them. Using this formula, you can figure out quickly that there is no simple polyhedron (that is one without holes) with exactly seven edges. Similarly, there is no simple polyhedron with ten faces and seventeen vertices. The formula also makes it possible to prove one of the most beautiful results in geometry, that there are only five Platonic solids. Figure 7: The Platonic solids. From left to right we have the tetrahedon with four faces, the cube with six faces, the octahedron with eight faces, the dodecahedron with twelve faces, and the icosahedron with twenty faces. Euler's polyhedron formula applies to solids that, in a topological sense, are equivalent to the sphere: you can turn each simple polyhedron into a sphere by smoothing out the edges and corners and making it round. But you can also look at the number for polyhedra that are topologically the same as a doughnut, or a doughnut with two, three, four or any number of holes. This number is called the Euler characteristic and it turns out that it is always equal to 2 minus 2 times the number of holes. So the Euler characteristic doesn't only tell us something about polyhedra, but also something very deep about the nature of shape and space in general. You can find out more about Euler's polyhedron formula, including a proof, in this Plus article. And there's an interesting application to designing footballs in A fly walks around a football. |

No, this isn't about Homer, but it's interesting anyway. Suppose you're trying to decide which university to go to. You find out that last year the university you're interested in admitted 30% of male applicants but only 21.3% of female applicants. Looks like a clear case of gender bias, so you're tempted to go somewhere else. But then you look at the figures again, this time broken up by department. The university only has two departments, maths and English. The English department admitted 40% of male applicants and 42% of female applicants. The maths department admitted 10% of male applicants and 11% of female applicants. So if you look at the figures by department, if anything there's bias in favour of women. What's going on? This is an example of Simpson's paradox, which arises when you look at percentages without giving the actual numbers involved. Suppose the English department admits quite a high proportion of applicants, while the maths department is more choosy and admits only a small proportion. Now suppose that most of the male applicants apply to the English department. Then this drives up the overall percentage of successful male applicants, as English is easier to get into. Similarly, if most women apply to the maths department, then this lowers the overall percentage of successful women applicants, because maths is harder to get into. So it can happen that, although both departments favour women, the overall percentage of successful female applicants is lower than that for males. Let's go back to the example: suppose that 100 men apply to the English department, so that means that 40 of them got in (40%). Suppose that only 50 women applied to the English department, so 21 of them got in (42%). Suppose the maths department had only 50 male applicants, so 5 got in (10%), and 100 female applicants, of which 11 got in (11%). Then the overall proportion of male applicants who were successful is 45/150 corresponding to 30%. For the women the overall proportion is 32/150 corresponding to 21.3%. Mystery solved. This paradox isn't just a theoretical curiosity. In 1973 The University of California at Berkeley was sued for sex bias on the basis of figures that were an illustration of Simpson's paradox. It turned out that on the whole women had applied to more competitive departments and that's how the seemingly biased figures arose. You can find out more about Simpson's paradox on Plus. If it's the other Simpsons you're interested in have a look at Simon Singh's book. Return to the Plus Advent Calendar |

There's nothing simpler than 1,2,3, ... we understand these numbers instinctively and that's why they're called the natural numbers. But if you really think about it, what are these numbers? How would you describe them to an alien devoid of a number instinct? Here's one way of defining them, developed by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano: Explaining numbers to aliens.
These four rules give you all the natural numbers, neatly ordered in a line, starting from 1 (you could also have started from 0). They also give you arithmetic, since addition and multiplication are about repeatedly adding 1s and you know how to do this: you simply move up to the successor of the number you're looking at. Subtraction and division are just the reverse of addition and multiplication. So equipped with these rules your innumerate alien could actually do some pretty decent number theory. The four rules form the basis of what's called Peano arithmetic. It's a formal mathematical system based on a set of axioms (which includes these four rules) together with a language in which to speak about numbers and rules for logical inference. In the beginning of the 20th century mathematicians hoped they could turn all of maths into one giant formal system similar to Peano's arithmetic. That way they could prove everything directly from the axioms, without any hidden assumptions, and make sure that maths contains no contradictions. But their dream was shattered in the 1930s by the logician Kurt Gödel, who showed that there are logical limits to what you can do using formal systems.

If it wasn't for the Babylonians who lived millennia ago, paying your bill at a restaurant or checking your credit card bill would be much more painful than it already is. And so would anything else involving numbers. It was these Babylonian scholars who had the brilliant idea of making the value of a numeral dependent on its position in a string of numerals: if you see a 1 at the end of a string, you know it means 1, if it's shifted one to the left, you know it means 10, if it's shifted two to the left, it means 100 and so on. This means that using only the symbols 0 to 9 you can write down every single whole number, no matter how large, rather than having to invent a new symbol every time you go up a order of magnitude. The Babylonian number system actually had 60 as its base, rather than base ten as we do. The numerals we use today, including the use of a symbol (zero) for nothing instead of a gap, stems from India. Find out more on in the Fabulous positional system and out other articles about number systems. |

iHerb Customer Reviews
Surprised at how well it's worked
29 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1597829 on Sep 23, 2009
I love Iherb! The prices are wonderful and the shipping is usually fast. I was browsing the site, checked out what was listed for pain and saw the serrapeptase. I read the reviews, the price was great, and decided to try a bottle of the 90 capsules. Taking three capsules, three times a day for a week, I started to notice my sinuses were clearing up. I have a bottle of otc nasal spray, afrin I think, next to my bed. I've been using that for a few months when I go to bed to open my sinuses so I could breath, then at night sometimes I'd wake up and use it again so I could get back to sleep. I've never had to use that stuff other than when I had a cold so it was a frustrating to have to keep using it. But I haven't used that nasal spray since I've been on the serrapeptase. I have fibromyalgia and since about April, I've had pretty bad sciatica. I didn't realize how much pain I've been in until it started getting better. I was getting down to the last of the 90 capsule bottle I bought when I realized I was moving more easily and had less over all body pain. At work, toward the end of my shift especially, I was very achy and tired. If I dropped something on the floor, I'd stand there and look at it and think, dang, I don't want to try and pick that up. Because I knew it was going to hurt, all over! Then I realized I was picking up things and not experiencing pain. I was moving more freely and easily. It feels like my body is lighter! Unfortunately it hasn't helped the sciatica much, nor the pain in my neck which also crinkles and creaks. I just started hyaluronic acid for that and my knees that have given me pain occasionally, especially on stairs, for years. So hopefully that will help. But I'm very happy and surprised at the over all reduction in pain I've experienced with the serrapeptase! I can't attribute it to anything else. I decided to stay on that dosage for one month and then reduce the dose. I just started reducing to 2 capsules three times a day and then I'll go to one three times a day. I'm hoping for more benefits from it. I don't have large scars but maybe what I have will diminish. I don't have varicose veins or problems with my arteries that I know of. I ordered it for pain reduction and it's worked wonders for me in that regard. I will keep using it and see what long term effects it may have. I expected a possible 'healing crisis' or Herxheimer reaction but have not experience that. My IBS has gotten better though, things are much more normal there! And I haven't change my diet. I wonder if it's the serrapeptase. I have to say, Iherbs prices allow me to try things like this which I otherwise would not be able to. MSRP on this is over twice the price Iherb sells it for. I'm very grateful for Iherb!

It's hard to find any literature about the negative side effects of Serrapeptase. If you search the internet it looks like a miracle enzym. And it is for many people, but not for me and not for my friend. First I had some fatigue and head ache, this can be normal for the first days. After a week the fatigue was gone and I didn't notice any positive effects. A week later I started to have MORE PAIN in almost ALL MY JOINTS and much acid in my muscles. When I checked with my friend she had the same reaction, so I was sure it was because of the Serrapeptase. But... maybe we just had to get through this and then it would be better, so we tried another week. Then my friend got pneumonia. She was getting sicker every day. And I didn't feel good either. I searched the internet for negative side effects, but couldn't find any in the first place. After a couple of hours I finally found something and it became clear that our pain en her pneumonia was caused by the Serrapeptase. We both suffer from FM (Fibromyalgia) and MPS (Myofascial pain syndrome) and my guess is that the latter in combination with Serrapeptase can cause more pain, inflammation and in my friends case pneumonia. It may help for FM, but be aware that most people with FM also have MPS and my reaction to Serrapeptase was more pain, inflammation in the muscles and many more trigger points! So, if you have FM and want to try it, pay close attention to how you feel!

As a long time sufferer of ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis, brought on by my inoculations during my military service, I have been in pain for almost 20 years. After about 10 days on this, the swelling and excruciating pain in my hands was all but gone-yes-totally gone. The general pain that I feel daily in my spine, knees, hips, elbows, and feet has been mitigated immensely too. I am also thinking more clearly, as I don't have to take as much of my narcotic pain medication any longer. This is a miracle. I have read a great deal about Serapeptase, and until I tried it, was skeptical that I would have life changing effects from it. More than a month and a half from my first dose, I can say that my life is forever changed. Since my diseases shorten the lives of those unlucky enough to have the genetic predisposition or the outside intervention of a massive overdose of inoculation born adjuvants, I can tell you that I have a good chance of dieing a full 25 years "before my time". However, with the major changes this substance has brought, there is hope that the damage already done to my organs and joints may be partially reversed, and may never again get worse. I strongly urge anyone with any type of pain, be it from a disease, or just wear and tear on their joints to take this. Furthermore, the research says it completely clears your arteries-so take my advice-use it! It is cheap-has no bad side effects(other than a few days of intestinal stuff when you first start on it). Go for it-I am glad I did! Matt

Getting sober is why I am here today..
I learned a while back in AA that I wanted more in my life than to be just "here". I wanted to be happy, at peace, comfortable in my decisions, a good mom, maybe a wife, free from pain, what others could see in me but I could not see in myself.
I lived so much of my life feeling like I was not worthy of happiness, not the kind I saw in "others" around me. I cut myself on a regular basis knowing it was all I deserved and if I died from it then that had to be better than living a drunk, miserable life. I hated myself and had so much slef-pitty that I could not see a future in my life, I didn't think I would be alive long enough to plan one.
Doing the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous is why I have the life I do today.
I was on the computer today trying to decide what to do for a honeymoon and I saw this package to Disneyland. I knew immediately I wanted to get married on the beach with my son there and spend a few days with him in Disneyland. Now the shocking thing is not only that I am getting married , but I want to take my son to Disneyland, and I can. That is one of the things the "other" people in the world did. Take their kids on trips to Disneyland... I couldn't take him to McDonald's when I was drinking.
A few days ago My fiancee and I decided to go pick some wild flowers. We got the dog and jumped in the Blazer and took off the whole 30 minutes we needed to go to be up in the mountains (12,000 ft mountains) and let the dog out to play in the stream. On the way back I am sitting in the truck, Marc is driving and Bella (the pup) is in the back seat all wet and I closed my eyes and thanked God for helping me get and stay sober. That was a picture I saw that "other" people had, not this pitiful drunk. It was just a normal day in the life I have now.
I started a meeting in town on Saturday night. This last Saturday I got to tell two newcomers how the steps saved my life. How important this program is to me. That getting the right sponsor is a gift we should all experience.
I was told that night that one of the newcomers looked at me as one of the "others". That he didn't see himself capable of having the success and happiness that I had in my life.
I said "I understand" and I spent some time telling him how I was and how the steps had changed my life and if he had enough living a miserable life he could do the steps and start to experience the promises of Alcoholics Anonymous. Just like my sponsor had told me (Thank you D) and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would betting sitting there telling someone the same thing, with the knowledge and experience to know that it is true.
God has blessed me, and thanks to the steps I was able to find him to let him.
Thanks for letting me share.
