Microsoft TFS Goes Mobile With Perfecto MobileCloud
Perfecto Mobile announced MobileCloud for TFS, a solution that makes Microsoft Team Foundation Server available to mobile developers.
Perfecto Mobile, a provider of cloud-based testing, automation and monitoring solutions for mobile applications and Websites, announced that it has extended Microsoft's Team Foundation Server to mobile with the launch of MobileCloud for TFS. Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a Microsoft product offering source control, data collection, reporting and project tracking, and is intended for collaborative software development projects. It is available either as stand-alone software or as the server-side back-end platform for Visual Studio. MobileCloud for TFS extends Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 to the mobile world. Perfecto Mobile, a member of the Microsoft Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program, has integrated its mobile app testing and quality solution into Microsoft's application lifecycle management (ALM) tool. Ensuring software quality through automating testing, reporting and results tracking and then monitoring performance in deployed software are crucial aspects of successful ALM. Perfect Mobile has developed a cloud-based solution for cross-platform application testing on actual mobile devices—multiple devices on multiple carriers and in multiple geographies, not just on an emulator or virtual machine. It also integrates both the execution and the reporting and tracking of test results into TFS. This is a big step forward in bringing robust, enterprise-grade ALM to mobile developers, Microsoft officials said.

Fisker Automotive, Inc. was an automaker originally based in Anaheim, California. The company's first and only product was the Fisker Karma, one of the world's first production plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. It debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show, creating the premium green car segment in which most major manufacturers have since announced they would compete. Production was suspended in November 2012 due to financial difficulties,[9] with about 2,450 Karmas built since 2011.[10] The assets of the company were purchased by Wanxiang America, Corp., a Chinese auto parts maker, and the company was renamed the New Fisker.
Fisker originally intended to sell the Karma in late 2009, but after repeated delays,[11][12] the Environmental Protection Agency certified the car's vehicle emissions and drive range in October 2011,[13] and thereafter Fisker commenced delivery of production vehicles in the USA.[14]
Fisker stopped production in the summer of 2012, and was seeking new investment. Matters were further complicated by the bankruptcy of its battery supplier A123 Systems, the costs involved regarding a recall and repairs to customer cars, as well as the resignation of the company's co-founder and CEO, Henrik Fisker.[15] In addition to production stopping for over five months, with no date announced to recommence, the planned production of the second model, the Fisker Atlantic, was postponed, together with the cessation of development of the new model.[16]
Fisker eventually declared bankruptcy in November 2013, and in February 2014 the company was bought by Chinese auto-parts conglomerate Wanxiang Group.[17]
Henrik Fisker co-founded the company in 2007 with business partner Bernhard Koehler (Fisker Coachbuild) and Quantum Technologies after securing a relatively small investment from Gianfranco Pizzuto, an Italian businessman, and Palo Alto Investors. Henrik Fisker is responsible for designing many premium cars such as the Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage, Artega GT and BMW Z8. He also served as design director and sat on the board at Aston Martin.
Prior to Fisker Automotive, Henrik Fisker and Koehler left Aston Martin in 2005 to establish Fisker Coachbuild, in an attempt to revive the art of coach building automobiles to customer specifications.[18] The Fisker Tramanto and Latigo utilized chassis and power trains from Mercedes-Benz SL and BMW 6-Series automobiles. Several were purchased but the business soon gave way to Fisker Automotive, a true automobile manufacturer. In 2009 Henrik Fisker mentioned plans for another plug-in hybrid, a "high-volume vehicle for a lower price", subject to getting a U.S. Department of Energy loan[19] to build about 100,000 vehicles annually in the United States.[20]
On April 14, 2008, Tesla Motors filed a lawsuit against Fisker Automotive, alleging they stole Tesla's technology and are using it to develop their own hybrid car, the Fisker Karma, which was announced at the North American International Auto Show in January 2008. Tesla's suit claims that the design work done for the Model S by Fisker Coachbuild was substandard, and that Fisker diverted its best ideas to the Karma.[21] In early 2009 the suit was settled in Fisker's favor and Tesla was ordered to pay Fisker more than US$1.1 million in legal fees.[22][23]
Fisker received a US$528.7 million conditional loan in September 2009 from the Department of Energy's US$25 billion Advanced Technologies Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program (ATVM).[24][25] A total of US$169.3 million is for engineering work with primarily USA suppliers to complete the Fisker Karma, design tools and equipment, and develop manufacturing processes. The DOE announcement of the conditional loan went on to reveal the code name for the new vehicle: "The second stage includes a $359.36 million ATVM loan for Fisker's Project Nina, involving the manufacture of a plug-in hybrid in the U.S.",[26] expected to reduce pollution corresponding to 30,000 fewer cars.[24] For comparison, the US$465 million ATVM loan to Tesla corresponds to 5,000 fewer cars.[27] "Project Nina" was later revealed as the Fisker Atlantic.
On October 27, 2009, Fisker officials announced that the company had signed a letter of intent to take control of the Boxwood Road Plant (previously owned and operated by General Motors as Wilmington Assembly) in Wilmington, Delaware:[28]
Production is scheduled to begin in late 2012. Fisker Automotive anticipates Project NINA will ultimately create or support 2,000 factory jobs and more than 3,000 vendor and supplier jobs by 2014, as production ramps up to full capacity of 75,000-100,000 vehicles per year. More than half will be exported, the largest percentage of any domestic manufacturer.
Vice President Joe Biden attended the announcement.[28] In addition to a purchase price of US$20 million, Fisker expects to invest US$175 million re-tooling the plant.[29] The Government of Delaware provided US$21 million in funding for the plant.[30] Fisker later suspended development of the Wilmington plant as a result of a freeze on its federal loan and suggested that production might shift elsewhere unless its funding is restored.[30][31]
After drawing US$193 million, the government froze Fisker's credit line in May 2011 after it was determined that the company had not met milestones set as conditions for the loan[31] and hired Houlihan Lokey to assist in monitoring Fisker's progress.[32] The loan received additional scrutiny for being awarded for the manufacture of luxury vehicles that are too expensive for much of the general public.[33] Fisker investor Ray Lane responded that the issues were being blown out of proportion due to election year politics.[33]
In February 2012, Tom LaSorda was named the new CEO,[34] and Henrik Fisker became Executive Chairman.[35] but only six months later on August 14, La Sorda was replaced by Tony Posawatz, previously General Motors Vehicle Line Director for the Chevrolet Volt.[36]
In April 2012, Fisker announced it had received US$392 million in a recent round of financing.[37]
In July 2012, Fisker shut down all production and hired financial adviser Evercore Partners to find new partners and investors but in December 2012 Fisker claimed it was not for sale.[38] With government credit lines suspended and no income, company officials have sought further government loans and subsidies, and continued to search for investors, lenders, and buyers, and still hopes to find customers in China, England, and continental Europe.[39] By the end of 2012, the search for funding continued, and Fisker had to cease development of the second model line which was around 90% complete.[16]
The company suffered a setback on October 29, 2012 when Hurricane Sandy flooded and destroyed its entire European shipment of 338 Karmas at Port Newark, New Jersey.[40] Sixteen of the cars burned, because six to eight feet of seawater caused a short circuit in a Vehicle Control Unit in one Karma, and high winds spread the resulting fire to fifteen others.[41] The company said that its Lithium Ion battery was not at fault.[41] Insurer XL Insurance America initially denied the approximately US$30 million loss claim and was subsequently sued by Fisker in New York State Supreme Court. The case was settled with an undisclosed out-of-court agreement.[42]
In late March 2013, Fisker hired a law firm to prepare for a possible bankruptcy filing.[43] On April 5, 2013, Fisker laid off 75% of its workforce with no notification, retaining only a core group of 40 workers as it continues to negotiate with prospective investors.[44]
Company bankruptcy[edit]
Henrik Fisker, who co-founded the company named after him, resigned in March 2013,[45] after "disagreements with management," in particular "disagreements over business strategy."[46] The New York Times reported that Fisker's resignation came during takeover negotiations with the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which currently owns Volvo Cars.[46][47] In late March, Fisker hired a law firm to prepare for a bankruptcy filing.[43]
On October 11, 2013, Hybrid Technology LLC agreed to buy Fisker's defaulted government loan, at a heavy discount. On November 22, 2013, Fisker filed its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. Concurrently, on November 23, 2013, Fisker agreed to be acquired by Hybrid, subject to bankruptcy court approval.[48][49] Hybrid is owned by a Hong Kong billionaire, Richard Li. A court hearing on the proposed sale to Hybrid was set for January 3, 2014.[49] Because Hybrid held the purchased government loan, which it bid as part of its purchase price for Fisker, attorneys for Fisker told the bankruptcy court that no offer better than Hybrid's could be expected.[50] However, at the last moment, another Chinese company - parts supplier Wanxiang Group - submitted a competing bid of US$24.75 million, supported by the Official Creditors' Committee in the case. Wanxiang had earlier lost out to Hybrid in bidding for purchase of the government's loan to Fisker. Wanxiang owns A123 Systems LLC, Fisker's former battery supplier, and Fisker argued that Wanxiang's conduct was partly responsible for Fisker's business failure. As part of its bid, Wanxiang proposed restarting production of the Karma.[51]
Wanxiang received court approval on February 18, 2014 to buy the assets of Fisker after a three-day auction against Hybrid with a bid of US$149.2 million, with bidding starting at US$55 million, significantly more than the previous US$24.75 million bid. Wanxiang claimed that it could restart production, estimating that it would sell more than 1,000 Fisker Karma cars in the first 18 months in the US and 500 in Europe.[52]
Production models[edit]
The Karma was a plug-in hybrid luxury sports sedan produced by Fisker Automotive and manufactured at Valmet Automotive in Finland. After missing its initial late 2009 launch, and after the launch was rescheduled several times, the first deliveries took place in the U.S. in late July 2011 and deliveries to retail customers began in November 2011.
The 20.1 kWh (72.36 MJ) lithium ion rechargeable battery in each car came from A123 Systems in Watertown, Massachusetts. The aluminum frame was engineered by Fisker and was supplied by Norsk Hydro from Norway. The cabin interior was designed by Fisker Automotive, but was made in the United States by Magna International of Canada. The EVer powertrain system, technically a series hybrid, delivered over 400 horsepower, and was inspired by Quantum Technologies, a co-founder of and early investor in Fisker.[53]
Concept vehicles[edit]
Fisker Surf and Sunset[edit]
Fisker unveiled the Karma S hardtop convertible concept in 2009.[54]
The Fisker Surf plug-in hybrid concept car was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.[55] The Surf would have an all-electric range of 50 mi (80 km) and an additional 250 mi (400 km) when the gasoline engine is engaged acting as a generator to charge the battery pack. Like the Karma, the Surf operates in Sport or energy-saving Stealth modes. In Sport, the car can reach 60 mph (97 km/h) from 0 in 5.9 seconds and the maximum speed is 125 mph (201 km/h). According to Henrik Fisker, the Surf would be part of the company's lineup and would be available for North American and international delivery in 2013. Price was expected be in the same range as the Karma.[56] In early 2012, the company announced that they're dropping their plans to produce the Surf and the Sunset. Instead, they decided to proceed with production of the Fisker Atlantic.[57]
Fisker Atlantic[edit]
In April 2012, Fisker unveiled their model Atlantic at the 2012 New York International Auto Show. The Fisker Atlantic, originally called "Project Nina",[58] shares the range-extender system from the larger Karma, but uses a four-cylinder BMW sourced gasoline engine, which acts as a generator to keep the batteries charged. The Atlantic is rear-wheel drive, with the option of four-wheel drive.[59] The expected all-electric range is 30 mi (48 km).[60]
The Atlantic is scheduled to become Fisker Automotive's second production car, after plans to produce the Fisker Surf and Sunset variants of its full-size Karma were shelved earlier in 2012. Production was initially scheduled to begin by the end of 2012 at former GM plant in Wilmington, Delaware. By October 2012, the carmaker decided to postpone production for late 2014 or 2015 due to financial constraints.[57]
By February 2012, Fisker had established 45 dealerships in the US and three in Canada.[61] By March 2012, the company had built 2,000 vehicles, with over 500 delivered to customers,[62] and by the end of 2012 Fisker claimed 1,800 cars had been delivered.[63]
The company has partnered with five importers: GP Supercars (Merano, Italy), Nellemann (Copenhagen, Denmark); the Emil Frey Group (Zurich, Switzerland); BD Otomotive (Istanbul, Turkey)[64] and Al-Futtaim Group (Middle East and North Africa).[65]
Fisker Automotive used to retain core competencies, such as design and marketing, in-house but outsourced all manufacturing of the car and power train.[66] Fisker's outsourcing methods allowed the company a 2–3 year period of development instead of the typical 5 years and at a cost of US$333 million instead of US$1 billion,[66] and claimed that it could make a profit from selling just 15,000 cars.[2] Fisker used to save significant development costs by using pre-engineered components developed by other car companies whenever possible, such as the door handle mechanism which was a General Motors part; Fisker Automotive just paid a royalty to GM for each door handle in the Karma, which was much cheaper than designing its own door handles.[53] However, the A123 battery failure and its resulting recall, and the eventual bankruptcy of the battery supplier,[67] led to significant problems and added cost to the manufacture of the Karma model, finally resulting in Fisker's bankruptcy.
In 2008 Fisker estimated 15,000 cars per year would be assembled by Valmet Automotive in Uusikaupunki, Finland.[68] Manufacturing eventually commenced in 2011 but by the third quarter of 2012 production ceased and Valmet laid off half its workforce.[69]
Fisker Automotive's investors have included Leonardo DiCaprio,[70] Palo Alto Investors, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Qatar Holdings, LLC, A123 Systems and Ace Investments. In April 2012, Fisker announced it had received US$392 million in a round of financing,[37] which was in addition to US$850 million in private investment it had received in previous rounds.[71] In Fisker's bankruptcy case, these investments will be wiped out.[72]

Design and analysis of metal–dielectric nonpolarizing beam splitters in a glass cube
Applied Optics, Vol. 48, Issue 18, pp. 3385-3390 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (505 KB)
A novel design of a 25-layer metal–dielectric nonpolarizing beam splitter in a cube is proposed by use of the optimization method and is theoretically investigated. The simulations of the reflectance and differential phases induced by reflection and transmission are presented. The simulation results reveal that both the amplitude and the phase characteristics of the nonpolarizing beam splitter could realize the design targets, the differences between the simulated and the target reflectance of 50% are less than 2%, and the differential phases are less than

Monitoring of chemical reactions within microreactors using an inverted Raman microscopic spectrometer. [In special issue: Proceedings of the APCE 2002 Meeting Shanghai, China, October 11-14, 2002]
Fletcher, Paul D.I., Haswell, Stephen J. and Zhang, Xunli (2003) Monitoring of chemical reactions within microreactors using an inverted Raman microscopic spectrometer. [In special issue: Proceedings of the APCE 2002 Meeting Shanghai, China, October 11-14, 2002]. Electrophoresis, 24, (18), 3239-3245. (doi:10.1002/elps.200305532).
Full text not available from this repository.
An inverted Raman microscope spectrometer has been used to profile the spatial evolution of reactant and product concentrations for a chemical reaction within a microreactor operating under hydrodynamic flow control. The Raman spectrometer was equipped with a laser source at wavelength of 780 nm, confocal optics, a holographic transmission grating, and a charge-coupled device (CCD) detector. The microreactor consisted of a T-shaped channel network etched within a 0.5 mm thick glass bottom plate that was thermally bonded to a 0.5 mm thick glass top plate. The ends of the channel network were connected to reagent reservoirs that were linked to a syringe pump for driving the solutions by hydrodynamic pumping within the channels. The microchannels were 221 m wide and 73 m deep. The synthesis of ethyl acetate from ethanol and acetic acid was investigated as a model system within the microreactor as Raman scattering bands for each reactant and product species were clearly resolved. Raman spectral intensities of each band were proportional to concentration for each species and hence all concentrations could be quantitatively measured after calibration. By scanning specific Raman bands within a selected area in the microchannel network at given steps in the X-Y plane, spatially resolved concentration profiles were obtained under steady-state flow conditions. Under the flow conditions used, different positions within the concentration profile correspond to different times after contact and mixing of the reagents, thereby enabling one to observe the time dependence of the product formation. Raman microscopy provides a useful complementary technique to UV/VIS absorbance and fluorescence methods for the in situ monitoring and analysis of chemical reaction species having their lowest S0-S1 absorption bands too far in the UV to be of use, due to their probable overlap with the bands from other reactant, product and solvent molecules.

If this is the case, the redeemer of the voucher will be able to easily and securely top up the difference using their credit card.
What if the experience costs less than the open voucher value?
If this is the case, the difference in value between the experience redeemed and the original voucher number will be retained on the same coupon number. The redeemer of the voucher is able to use this value against a future purchase up to the expiry date of the open voucher.
What is the validity period of the experience redeemed?
The validity date of the voucher redeemed against the open voucher is the same as that of the open voucher. For example, if the open voucher has three months until it expires, the experience voucher redeemed will also have three months to be redeemed. Please note there is no top-up option to extend the original voucher validity.
The experience I wanted to redeem is no longer available
Your open voucher is only valid for experiences available to buy on the website at the time of redemption. Experiences that where on the website that are no longer available to buy are not available for redemption of an open voucher.
Do open vouchers have to be redeemed online?
This is the recommended route for redeeming a voucher.
Do the vouchers have any cash value?
No, there is no cash equivalent for the open vouchers.

Peter Thomas Roth Uber Dry Sunscreen SPF 30 Reviews
Better alternative to most sunscreens
Peter Thomas Roth is one of my favorite skin care lines (along with Ole Henriksen). Sun protection is SUPER important (no brainer), but even more so because I live in Arizona. Because we get such vicious sun rays, I make sure to be extra vigilant with sun protection products, but more specifically what's in it. I LOVE that this has a lower level of Oxybenzone in it (at 3,5 percent) as opposed to t...read morehe typical 6 percent level most sunscreens have. Oxybenzone is a chemical sunscreen that can cause a large production of free radicals in the skin which an cause premature aging (as if you have enough to worry about already with skin cancer risks!) So even though it would be ideal withOUT the Oxybenzone, I do like that it's much less strength. I do really love how this feels on your skin. It is very sheer and lightweight, but most importantly it absorbs into the skin like a dream. You do not have to worry about it leaving a white film on your skin. Like the name mentions, it does not make your skin feel greasy, in fact it actually makes it feel quite soft! The price is 26 dollars for a 4 ounce bottle which is a bit much unless you're hardcore devoted. Especially so when you should actually be using an entire ounce for your entire body. Therefore if you followed the FDA recommended amount of sunscreen to achieve getting the level of protection described (spf 30 in this case), and you wore the sunscreen EVERY day, then you would run out after four days (assuming you don't reapply--although you should if you're out for longer and then you run out faster). Peter Thomas Roth comes out with amazing products, but this one is a little bittersweet because of how bad it burns your wallet. — 2 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Oily skin
I have super oily skin and high spf is always difficult for oily skin but this product is great. It absorbs quickly. At 1st it is a little shiny but that goes away quick It has not caused any breakouts and does not leave that pale pasty look other high spfs do. I am extremely fair skinned and plan on keeping it that way with the help of this. — 4 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
Amaizing sunscreen
I am 32 year old woman, have mildly oily skin, no acne problem, very regular skin care routine. i used this product couple of months ago and my o my I just love it. Thought I dont have very oily skin but still what ever sunscreen I put on makes my face really shiny. Doesn't matter even if it is oil free. I bought this product from skin store when they send me a $20 birthday coupon. it was still de...read moreal. The product is oil free it blends to your skin very easily and dont leave any white residue. It made my skin slightly shiny but a little application of face powder took care of it. This is so far the best sunscreen I have ever used. It is very difficult to find it on sale. if I see it on sale I am definitely buying it . Slightly pricey, I used it everyday in the morning and when ever I went out at the end. The 4 oz bottle lasted for about two moths. If you use liberally all over then it wont last more than a month. But highly recommended. 9 star is for the price — 5 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

Lite-On Technology
Like their counterparts at many other Taiwanese electronics manufacturers, executives at Lite-On have been struggling to increase profits as big American customers like Dell and Hewlett-Packard relentlessly put the squeeze on prices. Lite-On, which makes PC components and printers, enjoyed 48% sales growth last year, to about $6.8 billion. But earnings barely budged, up less than 4%, to $240 million.
One solution is moving away from its traditional outsourcing model and developing its own brand, with the hope that this will result in higher margins. In the U.S. Lite-On now sells its own brand of DVD recorders, which have won praise from some experts.

She doesn't expressly state if she applied via CV or filling in an application form but as I said its bad enough openly admitting to telling lies on a CV but if it was a job application then she shouldn't be promoting doing that and should be treated like anyone else found guilty of doing so
You'd see her go to court for it?
Oh please.
The judiciary has enough to cope with.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
Despite being an entry level unit and commanding a very reasonable price tag, the Navigator 3000 falls short in a few areas.
The Road Angel Navigator 3000 is an entry level GPS unit that doesn't quite satisfy as much as their previous models. While it still offers fixed speed safety camera warnings and comes at a reasonable asking price, the Navigator 3000 doesn't use the full Road Sense safety package that Road Angel is famous for.
The Navigator 3000 has improved on the Navigator 7000 by redesigning the interface to become more user friendly. Where the previous model had some icons with no descriptions, the Navigator 3000's menu is easy to navigate thanks to a well laid out and descriptive interface. Unfortunately, menu loading times are still sluggish.
The unit filters suburbs by state so users don't needlessly get a full list of suburbs in Australia. Street names are then filtered by suburb, reducing the list of streets during searching to a manageable number. The Navigator 3000 allows navigation directly to a house number, intersection or even to the middle of a street. Addresses are entered using on-screen keyboard, but the keys are a little too small. The main navigational menu encompasses many large boxes with text and coloured icons. There are icons for address, POI (point of interest) search, recent, favourites and settings. The address button allows you to navigate to a specific address, while the POI button offers access to a host of POI's, like airports, shopping centres, parking stations, hospitals and cafes.
Like almost every other GPS unit on the Australian market, the Navigator 3000 uses the popular SiRF Star III GPS chipset. The unit takes less than a minute to establish and maintain a GPS signal, and we were impressed with speedy re-routing times, usually only taking a couple of seconds.
Voice commands were fine although annoyingly, there is no audio sample of the voices, so you have no way of knowing what they sound like till you use them. A convenient volume control dial is located on the right hand side of the unit, but it doesn't protrude enough from the casing, and is therefore difficult to quickly adjust while driving. Despite this, we found the audio prompts to be easily understandable. The next turn instructions are displayed on the left side of the screen with other information below them. The map colour scheme is also clear (day and night modes are available), with the route displayed and your current position easily visible on the map.
The Navigator 3000 is the first Road Angel unit to use NAVTEQ maps. They are simple and easy to read and can be zoomed in and out of easily using the large "+" and "-" controls on the right side of the screen. You can select either a 3D or 2D view, with the map oriented with either north up or track up (the direction you are travelling facing upwards). The maps aren't preloaded onto the unit; instead they are included on an SD card, which slots into the left side of the Navigator.
What is missing from the unit is Road Angel's Road Sense safety package, which was one of the key selling points of previous units. Including a wide array of safety features such as accident black spots, school zones, bus lane cameras and red light cameras, this subscription based service turned your GPS unit into a fully blown safety alarm system. Why they haven't even included it as an option here is beyond us.
The Navigator 3000 is one of the more compact GPS units on the market, measuring just 95mm x 75mm x 22mm. Unlike the Navigator 7000, the 3000 doesn't feel as sturdy; the dull grey and black plastic doesn't feel too strong, so we'd advise to take real care when moving the unit around.
Unfortunately, the 3000's 3.5in LCD has a poor viewing angle and is easily susceptible to sunlight glare, despite being listed as an "anti-glare TFT-LCD QVGA display" in the technical specifications. On a bright day, we struggled to see the screen and this can become a real issue when driving for long periods.
The design is simple and basic. There is an SD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack and a mini-USB port on the left, and a DC input, off/on switch, volume slider, and antenna socket on the right. Also included is a stylus, which may be useful for entering an address before you step into your vehicle.
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the Navigator 3000 is the lack of basic accessories. Despite being an entry level unit, no AC adapter is provided. This is further compounded by the fact that the unit doesn't charge by USB, so the only way to charge is via the included in-car charger. A window mount and USB cable are the only included accessories.
The Navigator 3000 doubles as a multimedia player. It is compatible with MP3, MP4 Video, JPEG and e-book files, but these features are naturally quite basic. The biggest issue is storage; with only 64MB of internal memory, and the maps stored on the included SD card, you'll need to store your multimedia on another SD card. This means you won't have access to navigation unless you swap the SD cards over.
Battery life is another let-down, averaging just three to four hours according to Road Angel. Previous models had a quoted battery life of up to 10 hours, so to cut this by half is disappointing, despite market position and price. We experienced just over three hours of use before the battery died, but strangely received no warning of a low battery before hand.
Road Angel also includes a bonus 90 day online trial of myDrive, Australia's first website to offer real-time national traffic, road safety, news, sports and weather.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Majestic Wine sales 'worthy of a raised glass', says analyst
Majestic Wine, wine sales, UK wine, fine wine, bordeaux, burgundy, analyst, wine market News Wine News http://www.decanter.com/news/wine-news/587178/majestic-wine-sales-worthy-of-a-raised-glass-says-analyst http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/000003b26/20b7_orh100000w160/Majestic.jpg http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/000003b26/7d22/Majestic.jpg- 2014-06-16T20:40:00+01:00 Monday 16 June 2014
Majestic reported sales of fine wine up by 20% in the year to the end of March, to £18.7m. It puts a minimum price of £20-a-bottle on fine wine, although a six-bottle minimum purchase rule applies. The retailer benefited from refocusing its fine wine portfolio on classic regions such as Bordeaux and Burgundy, aimed at consumers looking to treat themselves at home. That strategy helped it 'hold its own' in a UK grocery market that has witnessed intense price battles - including on wine - between the major supermarkets since the beginning 2014. Majestic's total sales crept up by 1.4% versus the previous year, to £278.2m, although like-for-like sales flatlined. The retailer was forced to issue a profits warning in March. But, net profits still rose by 1.6% for the 12 months, to £17.6m. 'The headline numbers from Majestic may not set Champagne corks popping but in the context of a highly competitive market they are certainly worthy of a raised glass, or two,' said Neil Saunders, managing director of Conlumino financial analyst group. But, he added, 'It was disappointing that Majestic only managed to attain 5.8% growth in online sales across the year. In our view, this should be a great deal higher.' Majestic declared itself pleased with its online sales performance. It also outlined plans to increase its number of physical UK stores from the current 206 to 330, although it provided no timeframe. The retailer also claimed to account for nearly half the sales of all Provence rose wine in the UK by value, having seen its own sales of Provence rose jump by 84% for the year.

MILWAUKEE A tie worn by TV anchor man Vince Vitrano, expressed desire to one day grow up and look more like the tie worn by TV weatherman Craig Koplien.
"Some day, when I get older," Vitrano's tie said, "I'm gonna look just like that tie."
In an interview outside the TODAY'S TMJ4 studio, where both ties appeared on television this morning, the Vitrano tie also stated it believes it's well on its way to achieving that goal.
"You can see it already," the tie offered. "My blue stripes are almost as big as that other tie. If I keep drinking my milk and eating my vegetables, the yellow stripes can't be far behind."
Reached for comment later, the Koplien tie said, "Whatever, kid."

Gigabyte Motherboard won't post with 8gb Ram
hi, Just got new hardware:Intel P4 3.0ghz w/ htCooler ,Master CPU Cooler,Gigabyte GA-EG43M-S2H,Kingston 512MBx2 (PC3200),ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb,Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2.System refuses to post with all 4 sticks of Corsair in. It posts every time with 2 sticks running dual channel. Tested all 4 sticks. It posted when I tried 4 sticks of OCZ 512mb 800mhz OCZ2P8001GK.apable of handling 8GB 800mhz of ram 1.8v.I tried updating the BIOS... still won't post. I get continuous beeps which is suppose to mean a power issue, which doesn't make sense really (maybe it does?) |

Re: Gigabyte Motherboard won't post with 8gb Ram
You will need to make BIOS adjusments to run this (and you have Corsair, which, along with Kingston, account for ninety-odd percent of RAM problems w/GB MOBOs); the first thing to do is download a copy of MemTest86+ and burn the .iso to a bootable CD; then, put 1 stick at a time into slot 1, and boot/run MemTest overnight on each stick - this will qualify the RAM and tell you whether the sticks themselves are OK. If they all test OK, post back, and I'll try to walk you through BIOS tweaking... |

Re: Gigabyte Motherboard won't post with 8gb Ram
Hi, i have had similar problems with gigabyte motherboards. My problem resulted after i tried to update my bios with a corrupt file, my comp did exactly what yours did. Unplug your psu from your motherboard to ensure its not getting any power and unplug your mobo battery for at least 10 minutes and that should work. If not, make sure you have disconnected all power to the mobo, take out the mobo battery and use a wire to connect the - & + together on the battery socket. |

- Our vessel, the Emeraude, surrounded by sampans at Halong Bay.
After an hour of downhill and uphill hiking immersed in semi-darkness, we finally emerge out of the bowels of Sung Sot Grotto, or Surprise Cave, into the sunlight, greeted by a sensational surprise: an eye-popping panorama from on high of Halong Bay.
We pause to absorb this otherworldly nautical and rocky realm. Countless karsts – greenery-crowned limestone islets – and a flotilla of cruise ships, trawlers, junks and sampans sprawl across the horizon.
The fleet's crown jewel is the Emeraude, a storied steamer our tour group set sail on for an overnight expedition to this 900-plus-square-mile bay at Vietnam's northeastern coast in the Gulf of Tonkin, where, 50 years ago, a purported "incident" launched President Johnson to dramatically escalate military action in Southeast Asia.
Getting to Halong Bay
Halong Bay belongs among the rarified ranks of Earth's most beautiful places. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and voted one of Earth's seven natural wonders by Zürich-based New7Wonders Foundation. Ever since John Gray, who introduced kayaking to Thailand, told me about Halong Bay, which Vietnamese call Vịnh Hạ Long, I've longed to visit and paddle here. A trip way down yonder to Vietnam finally provided the opportunity.
The drive from Hanoi through 'Nam's tropical countryside, passing iconic Indochinese images – rice paddies, peasants wearing Southeast Asian nón lá (conical hats) and water buffaloes – takes three hours. The minibus stops at the Emeraude Café, where we shove off in a tender to board the historic paddlewheeler anchored in Halong Bay. Due to its fabled past the Emeraude, a four-deck, flat-bottomed paddleboat steamer, is an ideal vessel for adventurers embarking on this island odyssey.
Our vessel
The Emeraude was originated by three entrepreneurial, swashbuckling brothers who left Bordeaux in 1858 to go East. As the French empire expanded, so did their enterprises, from opium to timber. In 1890 Chinese buccaneer Luu Ky kidnapped and tortured two Roques.
By the early 20th century the frères Roque launched four single wheel paddle-steamers, each named after gems, delivering freight, mail and passengers at Halong and Red River Delta. The Emeraude had electric lights, fans, refrigeration and darkroom for photographers lured by Halong's charms.
In 1937, returning from Haiphong the Emeraude struck an underwater rock, sank and was never recovered – that is, until 1999, when at a Parisian flea market businessman Eric Merlin stumbled upon vintage postcards depicting the steamer. Inspired, he tracked down Roque descendants and rebuilt an Emeraude replica in Haiphong (although today's paddlewheel is just for show). By 2003 Merlin launched the reconstructed Emeraude, reincarnated as a cruise liner.
Emeraude is French for "emerald" – an apropos name for a ship traversing Halong Bay's Emerald City. The cover of the notebook (swag from April's Turner Classic Movies Film Festival in Hollywood) I scribble into bears Dorothy's Wizard of Oz quote: "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." This is an understatement as the captain hoists anchor, navigating the Bay's 2,000+ far-flung verdant isles.
The journey: Bo Hon cave and kayaking
Our first hours at sea are spent voyaging amiably if not aimlessly amidst this exquisite archipelago. We wind through an otherworldly maze of whimsically shaped eyelid-opening islets. Lazily gliding along, the weather's picture-perfect as karsts slip by.
Our port-of-call is Bo Hon isle, located roughly in Halong Bay's center, where Sung Sot Grotto is. To enter, one must trek a tree-lined path up the karst, which requires hardy footgear and vigor. Would-be Indiana Joneses climb up and down hundreds of smoothed stony stairs.
Surprise Cave is no Temple of Doom, however. There's some lights as guides lead hundreds through the popular, capacious cavern. Our leader notes various rock formations with a laser pointer, identifying a Buddha, monkey, bird or phallic symbol sculpted into Sung Sot's stalactites and stalagmites.
One of Halong's largest karsts, Bo Hon is a range of connected islets that also includes Dong Tien Lake, Luon Grotto and Virgin Grotto. Although we didn't glimpse Bon Ho's monkeys or deer, we saw stalactites resembling them.
Returning to the anchored Emeraude, some passengers swim, but I'm deterred by jellyfish warnings. I embark on a kayaking expedition with Colm, a younger, intrepid Ventura County rock climber. We're dispatched from the paddlewheeler's bow with little preparation as our sea-trek flies sans guide.
Quickly we discover our kayak's seats aren't properly set up, causing lower back pain for this car crash survivor. Cautiously we head for a floating fishermen's village near a distant karst. But a chop in the water and discomfort caused by the support-less seating lead us to change course and circumnavigate our portion of Halong, careful not to karst-crash when nearing land.
Sea hawks soar overhead. Colm and I paddle together or take turns when one wants to shoot pictures. At an especially scenic site, both shutterbugs simultaneously reach for our cameras, nearly capsizing the sea canoe. Six-foot-three Colm's rapid response saves us and our Nikons from going overboard.
We paddle towards a pearl farm surrounded by floats fastened to cultivated oysters, but hampered by uncomfortable seating we finally return to the Emeraude. There, although several crewmen sit nearby, only one bothers seizing the kayak's prow and, with prodding, helps me safely out of the slippery craft. Nevertheless, there were moments adrift on the kayak, swaying on swells immersed in stellar scenery, when I felt that transcendental sense of serenity and connectedness to the universe mystics call "cosmic consciousness."
Back aboard the Emeraude my spacious, air conditioned cabin, with a double bed, is quite cozy. Through large windows I can watch karsts dreamily drift by, though I prefer sunbathing on deck in a padded wicker lounge chair, cooled by sea breezes.
Emeraude dining consists of sumptuous buffets and attentive waitresses serving beverages. Lunch and supper offer Vietnamese and European cuisines including seafood, poultry, beef and vegetables, with breakfasts of tropical fruits, yogurts, cereals, croissants, bread and omelets.
A chef teaches passengers – Americans, Canadians, Spaniards, Brits, locals – how to cook Vietnamese cuisine, such as shrimp spring rolls, dazzling guests by deftly sculpting tomatoes with a blade.

These were nice cupcakes! Loved the flavor combo of adding white chocolate chips! This recipe made a HUGE batch, so I did 12 cupcakes and then used the rest in a bread loaf pan. It was perfect! Great way to really spruce up a box mix!
Loved them! Made them for work for Thanksgiving treat! Yummy!
Made this last night for our New Year's celebration with a few revisions. First I used Yellow cake mix instead of white because I had it on hand. Also used mini semi sweet chocolate chips instead of white, again because I had on hand. Instead of making as cupcakes I made a bundt cake instead. Took about 42 minutes to cook. Instead of canned frosting I made a lowfat cream cheese frosting and drizzled it on top. This was super moist and very delicious. I like that it used egg whites and had no added sugar into the recipe as many others did that were similar. I try to keep my cooking on the lighter/lowfat side. Because of the pumpkin you could probably do without adding the oil. I may try that next time.

Lobster Cookout
- Total Time:
- 10 min
- Prep:
- 10 min
- Level:
- Intermediate
- How to Prepare Live Lobster
Place the lobster on a cutting board. Push a chef's knife into the cross mark on the shell between the head and body; the lobster may still move for a few seconds.
Turn the lobster on its back and split it in half lengthwise with your knife or kitchen shears. Clean out the cavity. Warning: This step is messy, so have paper towels handy.
Remove the rubber bands and crack the claws with the blunt edge of your knife. This will help the claw meat cook evenly on the grill.

Released: Aug 01st, 2005
Running Time: 87
Director: Roy Karch
Company: VCX
Stacey Donavan, Patti Petite, Keli Richards, Erica Boyer, Randy West
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Golden Age
An overdue vanguard in '80s re-releases.
Get it? Stacey instead of "Lacey" (which sounds more porno actually) is one-half of a girl/girl detective team. If you get the reference to the late seventies/early eighties TV show, it should give you an idea of how easy porn-satire used to be.
Roy Karch shows more effort than was typical with VHS-shot features. Randy West was in EVERY movie at this point and does multiple scenes. Miss Sharon Mitchell is on another planet in her scene, but fucks with the second-nature sluttiness that made her a legend. Sacha Gabor (then, the industry's dead-ringer for Burt Reynolds) pops up in a villainous role. And Erica Boyer was a top-billed star once (her scenes give ample evidence why.)

Underhill Stadium -
Saturday, October 9th,
V Bradford City, League Two, 3pm
By Eamonn Lynch
Even in early October, this could be
classed as an early season six pointer with both teams languishing
near the foot of the table. It's fair to say we travelled more in
trepidation than hope. Barnet is a nice town and I was looking
forward to the day out. The journey down was fine and the ground
is very handily placed to get to from the M25. A word of warning
though, my Tom Tom wanted me to turn left when I was in the town
centre. I'm not sure where I would have ended up, but fortunately I
have been to Underhill before and knew the approximate location of
the ground. As you travel downhill from the town centre you will see
the ground on your right hand side. You will come to a set of
traffic lights beside The Old Red Lion, if you take a sharp right
there you will find plenty of street parking available near to the
stadium. Although there is a decent array of pubs
nearby, The Old Red Lion is away fan friendly and situated just
behind the away end. A fair percentage of the four hundred plus
travelling support had the same idea and were already in attendance
when I arrived. Barnet fans won't exactly rush over to engage you in
conversation (this is London, after all), but the atmosphere was
very relaxed. It was my second visit here and there hasn't been a
hint of a problem on either occasion. The McMullen's Country
Bitter was tolerable and less than Ł3 a pint, which has to be good
value in this part of the world. Along with many others, I passed on
the ham and cheese baguettes on offer, though the chip shop just
down the road seemed to be doing a very good
trade. I opted to stand up rather than sit at
the game. The terrace that runs the length of the pitch is shared
between both sets of supporters and can generate quite an
atmosphere. The sloped pitch is the most striking feature of the
stadium. The overriding impression is that the ground has been
developed over the years as and when the club could afford to, but
there are certainly worse places to watch
football. There was time for a Pukka Pie and a
coffee before kick-off, which was excellent value at Ł3.70 for both.
I'm a little perplexed that an earlier review of Underhill is so
critical of the catering, it's perfectly acceptable and probably
offers the best value in League 2 if I'm being honest. The game
itself was quite open but had a distinct lack of quality. Apart from
their league positions, both teams have their injury problems and
few chances of note were created. City eventually took the lead
through a fine strike by Osborne before adding a second five minutes
later. Low on confidence, our hosts never threatened to get back in
to contention and the three points made the return journey north a
happy one.
Getting away from the ground was
extremely straight forward in what equated to a seven hour round
trip. I have to say that I think Barnet
gets too much bad press. I enjoyed my day out there and believe most
others would as well. Clubs like Barnet are the life blood of the
game. I look forward to returning next year when I think I'll sample
a couple of other pubs that the town has to
offer! |
