TomTom Automotive and Mobile Phone Navigation System
In 1991, Pieter Geelen, Peter-Frans Pauwels, Corinne Vigreux and Harold Goddijn launched their company TomTom NV in Amsterdam, Holland. Since then the company has opened offices in places such as Egypt as they expanded their automotive navigation systems. With recent advances in mobile phone technology, TomTom moved into the mobile app market providing quality navigation systems to various mobile platforms. TomTom makes use of satellites to track the location of a device which could be within a car or on a person, and shows that position in relation to a map of the area. Many business vehicles that deliver products use GPS systems
Range Of Popular TomTom Products
TomTom is a trusted brand among navigation systems and has an array of products to suite many needs. The GO series is aimed at general users with the ability to make and receive calls when coupled with your phone through Bluetooth technology. Weather updates are also shown to help users through their journey. The cheaper versions of the GO series are called Via and the Start series offer much of the same major benefits. The TomTom RIDER series was made for motorcycles and motorboats with its water resistant design. The screen in the RIDER series is also made to be "glove friendly". The NAVIGATOR series is an application that can be used on various tablets and mobile devices that offers touch screen integration for ease-of-use. TomTom also has a built-in series of products that can be installed into a car's dashboard. They are created for specific car models to seamlessly be incorporated into the design.
TomTom's Products Compared to Competitors
The design of TomTom products is created to make it easy for users to use regardless of prior experience with such devices. A simple case design is used with a user-friendly, touch-screen interface. TomTom is well known for its quality products and after sale service. The TomTom traffic application to monitor daily traffic is among the best in market. It outperforms the competitor version of traffic reporting such as the one used by Garmin. Customer support and map updates are very important in the GPS market and TomTom provides constant updates that help to sync the map data with the real world. TomTom is a cheaper product than most of the Garmin products but as a result it often offers slightly less features than the Garmin counterparts. Garmin products have been rated by users as easier to read than the TomTom products and can therefore be better for users who struggle to read small text.

This Brazil side (with slight replacements in certain positions) has already been covered on this site, so it's probably better for me to just link to the original article I wrote, although this focussed upon Brazil's friendly against England, rather than the Confederations Cup side the Confederations Cup-winning players on the left.

In terms of one-off results, Senegal beating France in the opening game of the 2002 World Cup was the biggest shock of the decade. It's one of those results that has gone down in history, so it's difficult to set the scene to describe what an upset it was. Here goes…

Teams of the Decade, #17: Bologna, 2001/02
To include a side on this list whose greatest achievement was to finish 7th one season may seem odd, but the final league table of the 2001/02 season doesn't do justice to Bologna's achievements that season – mixing it with the big boys, and only a final day defeat denying them the 4th place...

Teams of the Decade, #18: Australia, 2006
It's fair to say that Guus Hiddink could have had three sides in this list – his 2002 venture to the World Cup semi-finals with South Korea was probably his best achievement of the decade; his 2008 Russia side was probably his best team of the decade.

BE2012: Vaulting status: Not eligible
I have a strange issue I've neer seen before with Backup Exec.
I've installed a new physical server which is a Hyper-V host. (Standalone server, no cluster) I've installed BE 2012 on the same physical server. But all the tapes are in "Not eligible" status in the Vaulting Status menu when I go to the Storage/ All Media.
I use BE2012, all patches have been installed. At the beginning I was thinking about a hardware issue with my backup library so HP replaced the device but the problem still occurs. (MSL2024 - SAS connection). I've replaced the HP code bar labels by new labels but the problem still occurs. (Ref. Q2011A)
Then I've modified the job configuration to make some tests but the problem still occurs. BE request a overwritable tape when I run a backup job. I've tried to found any help from the internet but unsuccessfully. A support ticket has been raised to Symantec Support France Team 8 days ago but no news.
Any suggestion to fix the problem would be great please? I'm confused and I don't know what I have to make to fix the problem.

This is because the video you are trying to load is hosted on a non-US based video-sharing site overseas. Many of these require at least thirty seconds before smooth streaming is achieved due to being far away from the U-S-A, among other factors. 5) If the video really and truly is dead, you can Report it here.\ |

For it to be shown that such prospective immigrants would not raise the level of aggresion on those to whom loyalty is owed: the net taxpayers of our citizenry. To be at odds with a socialist is no qualification or indication of loyalty to Americans above others; more likely every one of them would say: my people first! And a European national Socialist was at odds with Stalin, would any and every of such description have been good for America. I realize that economics places no value on loyalty to fellow citizens; but this is politics, the reality of aggression evil and war which no formulae can reconceptualize away.

I don't know where to find information about Venezuelans specifically.

If anybody does have data on the opinions of Venezueland immigrants, I think both Bryan and I would be interested. Also, I don't think Venezuela counts as full-fledged communism.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
SAN FRANCISCO - Coalesse®, a premium live/work furnishings brand, recently announced that it was awarded LEED Gold certification for its showroom in The Merchandise Mart in Chicago, IL.
Given by the U.S. Green Building Council, an organization dedicated to sustainable building design and construction, LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" and provides a set of standards for environmentally sustainable construction. Coalesse was awarded LEED Gold certification for its Chicago showroom—one of the highest levels of certification possible. Every point Coalesse submitted to the USGBC for certification was accepted.
With the goal of achieving LEED certification, the project team that created the Chicago showroom was involved early in the "greening" process. The team understood the possibility of lowering long-term operating costs by using efficient infrastructure and building materials including electrical, plumbing, and painting supplies. Creating an environment that maximized exposure to natural light, cleaner air, and low-emitting chemicals was also important to the group.
"This is fantastic news for Coalesse and Steelcase," says Kevin Owens, director of sustainability for Coalesse. "This certification demonstrates what has always been our company's focus-being responsible and innovative in every one of the designs that we create."
The areas of focus that lead to LEED certification include sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation and design process. Within these areas, LEED has continually evolved since its inception in 1988 by incorporating emerging and developing green technologies as they become available.
In addition to this newest certification, Coalesse now has eight accredited LEED professionals on its team as part of its ongoing effort to remain a leader in sustainability.

Short answer? Yes. Those who love what the Range Rover stands for -- being able to experience genuine off-roading surrounded by a luxurious cabin -- will be absolutely thrilled with the latest generation of Land Rover's flagship model. And the 2010 contains technology you can't find anywhere else.
As is the case with the rest of the 2010 class of new Land Rovers, the Range Rover receives as its base model the 5.0-liter V-8 designed by Jaguar Land Rover (the first engine designed with both brands in mind). This engine uses torque-actuated variable camshaft timing on all four cams, cam profile switching, and a variable-length inlet manifold. The supercharged version has 510 bhp, the standard 375, which is only 25 horses shy of the outgoing Supercharged Range Rover. Estimates put 0-to-60 times at 7.2 for the normally aspirated Rover and a speedy 5.9 for the Supercharged. Both use a revised ZF six-speed automatic, revised for improved response to driver input and reprogrammed for better fuel efficiency. The supercharger is a sixth-generation Eaton twin-vortex Roots-type unit, which uses twin intercoolers. This entire setup is packaged within the engine's vee.
The manufacturer also made revisions to the vehicle's suspension, integrating Adaptive Dynamics. This system, which also works off-road, optimizes shock settings based on current terrain. It uses DampTronic shock valves, which are continuously adjustable, and wheel monitors that take measurements 500 times per second to provide the ideal ride ranging from comfortable and soft to a firmer, sportier ride. The sport/utility also has new, larger brakes -- front 15-inchers for the Supercharged, 14.2 for the standard Rover -- plus improved stability control and DSC. It now also comes with Roll Stability Control.
While there have been numerous updates focused on highway and canyon drives, there also have been improvements in the off-road ability. Terrain Response upgrades include sand launch control, helping reduce wheelspin while providing the appropriate amount of power; and better traction control and braking response in Rock Crawl mode. Gradient Release Control, a new feature within Hill Descent Control, inhibits acceleration when going down extremely steep inclines. Other new features include Trailer Stability Assist, which monitors steering and vehicle swing, and can cause reduction in torque and more braking to bring the vehicle and trailer back under control; adaptive cruise control; blind-spot monitoring; surround camera system, with multiple cameras, making it easier to park, maneuver with a trailer, or drive off-road; and Towing Assist, which shows the trajectory of trailer and tow vehicle. You can input data about your trailer to make this system most accurate. Advanced Emergency Brake Assist, which works with the Range Rover's Forward Alert radar, steps in if a collision is imminent, prepping the vehicle and adding more braking.

Nashua board to hear about new writing course
For the past four years, more than half of Nashua's 11th grade students scored either partially proficient or substantially below proficient on the annual NECAP assessment tests.
The district spent $10,400 to develop the new freshman writing course, which included $6,000 for materials, $2,400 for curriculum writing and $2,000 for ongoing professional development.
The administration is seeking an additional $3,000 for professional development that will give teachers an opportunity to review the course and make needed adjustments. And according to a summary from the administration, students will need more access to technology since writing and editing assignments should be done on computers.

Irish and Australians need not apply...
Trip Start
Jan 16, 2011
Trip End
Where I stayed
Arriving in a new city is always a bit daunting, and as I was arriving here with a view to starting a new life, I was full of hopes and desires to begin that new life from the get go.
Anyone who knows me or has travelled with me will know that airports always seem to find a way to bring out the worst in me, however, upon arriving in Vancouver airport, I couldn't help but notice how quiet and relaxed everything seemed. Maybe it had something to with having arrived from the madness of LA airport, but everything just seemed so chilled and hassle free. Even the process of making my visa official with the airport security was a surprising pleasant experience, with the official in question being extremely polite and helpful. The whole thing took about 10 minutes, after which I was officially official in Canada, free to live, work and follow that dream. If, as they say, first impressions last, then this was definitely a good one, and Canada was quickly earning lots of brownie points.
Having enjoyed 5 days of glorious sunshine in LA, it was back to normality with a bang as the rain and chilly weather reminded me of the conditions I left behind in Dublin. Settling into my temporary residence just off the very cool area of Commercial Drive, I began the processes of applying for a social security number, getting a bank account, mobile phone number...basically, all the boring stuff. These would be the first signs that things move a different pace here.
I based myself in a downtown hostel a few days after arriving and though it was extremely centrally located, at night time it turned into the Canadian equivalent of Temple Bar, (an extreme tourist location in Dublin, famous for it late night debauchery), so to say things got a bit messy after dark is an understatement.
Once there, I set about trying to get myself a job and a place of my own, however as is quite often the case in life, things don't happen according to plan and it soon became apparent that frustrating times lay ahead.
I knew that a lot of people had either immigrated to Canada or are due to come over very soon from various parts of the world, however I had not planned on almost 10,000 of them coming to Vancouver, and almost all of them looking for a job and a place to live. All of which meant that the few websites and contacts that people used to look for these things became completely saturated to the limit, and when asking around for websites or places to look, one name kept reoccurring; Craigslist, a website that deals in buying, selling or renting anything (or anyone) that you can think of. It's not the most reliable of places and there are just as many dodgy listings as there are authentic ones. The biggest problem is that not only are all the new comers to the city in competition with each other, they're also in competition with the locals for anything that came up.
Even very early on I was beginning to think that things were not quite adding up and I began to think of other options that lay open to me. In the meantime however I was also noticing little things that were very different here to back home. For example;
- Banks charge $8 a month just to use the service - and that limits you to 25 withdrawals from an ATM.
- Mobile phone networks are very expensive and still offer relatively basic services. Plus, due to the size of the country, it means that networks are often confined to just the province of purchase, and will not always function on a nationwide basis.
- Some of the "additional features" of my mobile phone account are; Caller Id and actually telling me when you have a missed call.
- Charging me to receive a call or a text.
- Tipping is expected here, and not just your average 10% either, but a whopping 20%. This doesn't necessarily mean the service is better, or even good, and in some cases it was downright awful.
- Taxes are very high in Vancouver, a 12% Harmonised Sales Tax (HST) on all goods (pre-tip) in certain cases.
- A very low minimum wage of €8 per hour, coupled with a very high cost of living.
The city is spotlessly clean and has some beautiful views, especially with the snow capped mountains to the north that are so popular with snow boarders and skiers from around the world.
Hockey (don't call it Ice Hockey, it's like calling football, soccer) is by far the biggest sport and form of entertainment here. Most teams play almost 90 games a season so there's a game on practically every night. For people who think there's too much football on back home, you'd be well and truly a Hockey Widow over here.
On the whole though, I think you can guess that while I certainly appreciate the attraction of Vancouver as a destination, for me it would be more of a place to visit than to live. As I mentioned earlier, the cost of living is very high and when there is no income coming in, it becomes an even bigger gap to bridge. I suppose ultimately it didn't really jump out an grab me in the way I expected or wanted it to, and while I had made some good friends in the hostel, I felt that too many people had come to the city looking for the same thing and I'm not too sure if the city was prepared for that. I could have been still there in a month's time with no job and even less money to my name, which would realistically only result in an early flight home, something I had seen happen to some fellow Irish here.
And so I made the decision to head out east, firstly to Saint John in New Brunswick and shortly to Halifax, Nova Scotia as I have heard so much about them that I feel the need to do some exploring and seeing some more of what is no doubt a very beautiful country. So as I am writing this from the comfort of my hostel room, looking out onto the bright blue skies and snow capped fields of Saint John, I think I would like to return to Vancouver one day, as a tourist and not as a potential immigrant as I still feel it has so much to offer. Having been here only a day, I can say that immediately I've noticed a huge difference in the people and the surroundings, for the better, and although it's -7 degrees at the moment, with an expected low of -13, yes it's freezing, but things have things already have a warmer glow off them. Have I made the right decision? Who knows, time will tell, however, if feels like I have made the right one for me, right now.

Flying on the cheap: Middle East economy airlines take-off as the travel market of the future
A new analytical report released by Amadeus air traffic system revealed that low-cost airlines, also known as "economic airlines" in the Middle East, show great confidence in their ability to grow, having seen an overall absorptive capacity increase from 11.5 million seats in the first half of 2012 to 13.5 million seats during the same period in 2013.
Alexander Gore, an economic airlines specialist at Amadeus, said: "We are seeing a boom in the capacity of low-cost airlines throughout Asia as the air travel sector is suffering from a big gap. However, the capacity across developed markets in Europe and North America is restricted." Such factors, he explained, explain the desire of low-cost airlines to find new approaches to secure future growth.
He added: "With the 25 percent growth on an annual basis during the first half of 2013, airline reservations for low-cost airlines at Amadeus are increasing dramatically, which is an encouraging sign of our ability to adapt to the needs of these airlines."
According to Gore, low-cost airlines are seizing the opportunity that we offer to penetrate the business travel market for high yields, and expand into new areas characterized by the presence of limited brands prominent.
Amadeus continues to innovate constantly, he noted, in order to maximize these benefits, as evidenced by the new range of improvements to the ticket prices that have been applied recently with Easy Jet, which makes dealing with airlines easier.
Pascal Clement, head of travel at Amadeus, said: "We have a detailed understanding of how to change the direction of the absorptive capacity in the planning process for each of the airlines and airports, and can apply the powerful tools for efficiently analyzing large amounts of data to achieve the preferences of companies."

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I've loved typography for a while. When a company recently approached me about creating some artwork for them, I felt it was time to dive in and try my hand at it. With the job completed and submitted, and the client happy, I garnered permission to post it up for critique, and I would really like to hear what some of the more experienced out there feel about the piece.
The piece is called "Inspiration", and took me about 57 hours to complete and is over 50 layers in photoshop.
I like it a lot, but I find the spelling errors distracting.
"oportunity" (at top left) > "opportunity" (as you have it elsewhere)
"desparation" (in a couple of places) > "desperation"
Wow I missed that, thanks :)
Top left is spelled correctly, the O is cut off by the margin and you are seeing pportunity, the others were wrong, so thank you again!
Has a nice feel to it. Looks like it was enjoyable to make, since it seems so organic and free. I bet it would look great in black-and-off white in addition to black and white.

News & Events------------------------- New Heating and Air Conditioning We are in the midst of major construction at the Wildlife Rehab Clinic. We
are installing brand new heating and cooling units. Our old units were over
20 years old and were failing us. We spent thousands of dollars this past year
on repairs to keep them running. And on top of that, our roof is leaking! It
has finally gotten to where we have no choice but to replace our heating/cooling
units and roof. To the rescue comes Degenhardt Heating & Cooling. They gave
us a bid we could not refuse and are offering us a very large discount on labor.
And in accordance with city codes and safety standards we have to hire a contractor
to build a room around this new unit. This will cost us several thousand also.
Even with Degenhardt's generous offer, this new unit is still costing us over $30,000. Additionally, a new roof is going to cost us just as much! This is money we will not have for the care of the animals that come through our doors. On average, we take in almost 1,000 animals each year. If we do not raise enough
money to cover the cost of the new heating and cooling system and a new roof,
we will be turning away hundreds of helpless baby animals. We desparately need
to raise money to help pay for this. Without generous donations from you, we
will not have enough money to continue to take care of the injured and orpahned
wildlife that need our help. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated.
Even a donation of $10 will help us tremendously! OR mail a check to: Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic ------------------------- Commemorative

Rashard Lewis was a no brainer as far as most overpaid but Kobe surprised me being on this list. Kobe was a victim of being the highest paid player in the NBA and his below average shooting efficiency.
Amare I thought would make this list. Doesn't play D, not a great rebounder and he's not scoring like he did in his hey day. I wish we could move him.
If you want to view all the player details, here's the link.

NBA Players Overpaid By Millions
Sports fans hold strong opinions about which pro basketball players deserve their massive salaries, and which ones don�t. One fan, however, has gone further than the average barstool commentator --- Southern Utah University economics professor David Berri.
Berri is co-author of the 2006 book �The Wages of Wins,� which determines which players are overpaid with a statistical method called "Wins Produced" that he and his co-authors developed.
According to Berri, NBA players are paid for high scoring, so the more points an athlete racks up, the more money he earns. Berri believes that this overlooks other factors that contribute to a victory, such as shots taken, turnovers, rebounds and fouls.
These and other elements are included in the �Wins Produced� algorithm.
�Wins in basketball are primarily about a team�s ability to get and keep possession of the ball and then turning those possessions into points,� Berri told CNBC.com in an e-mail. �In 2011-12, NBA teams paid $1.9 billion for 990 regular season wins. This means that the cost per win was $1.946 million. Given the cost of each win and knowing both how many victories each player produced and his salary allows us to see which players were overpaid.
1. Rashard Lewis
2. Kobe Bryant
Overpaid by: $19,693,258
Salary: $25,244,493
Value of Wins: $5,551,235
Team: Los Angeles Lakers
Minutes Played: 2,232
Wins Produced: 2.85
Kobe Bryant is a basketball legend, and as such many people may bristle at his inclusion on this list. However, Berri contends that the player�s sterling reputation is something of a mirage. �The media says Kobe was one of the best players in the game in 2011-12,� he said �But the numbers tell a different story.�
According to Berri, Bryant�s scoring simply comes down to the fact that he takes a lot of shots. �But in contrast to past years, Kobe�s shooting efficiency was below average for a shooting guard, and inefficient shooting doesn�t produce wins,� he said. �However, if you take enough shots you can still score enough points to convince fans � and the media � that you are actually helping a team win.�
But doesn�t Bryant�s star power attract enough fans to help the team�s bottom line? No, according to Berri. �The study of gate revenue reveals that it is wins that drive revenue. Star power is far less important.�
3. Antawn Jamison
4. Amare Stoudemire
Overpaid by: $14,918,309
Salary: $18,217,705
Value of Wins: $3,299,396
Team: New York Knicks
Minutes Played: 1,543
Wins Produced: 1.7
Amar�e Stoudemire�s professional career began in 2002 with the Phoenix Suns. During his eight years with the team, he suffered from a knee injury and a detached retina, then after joining the Knicks in 2010, he suffered injuries to his back and his hand.
According to Berri, all that damage adds up, and it�s had a negative impact on Stoudemire�s performance. �His shooting efficiency has declined,� he said �He also is below average on the boards. He still gets paid like a star, though.�
5. Chris Kaman
6. Mehmet Okur
7. Corey Maggette
8. Dirk Nowitzki
9. Deron Williams
10. Tyrus Thomas

Search Golden Gate
On Friday, March 25, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (District), authorized the setting of a public hearing on Thursday, April 21, 2005, at 9:30 am in the Board Room, Administration Building, Golden Gate Bridge, Toll Plaza to receive public comment on a proposed 5% regional transit fare increase effective July 1, 2005, to meet operating expenses for Fiscal Year 2006.
The proposed 5% fare increase is estimated to generate about $600,000 added revenue. A one to two percent ridership loss could result from the fare increase and has been factored into the revenue generation estimate.
The staff report on this proposal will available online or may be obtained from the Secretary of the District, Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, P.O. Box 9000, Presidio Station, San Francisco, CA, 94129-0601, or TDD California Relay Service, 800-735-2929.
Public comments will be received at the hearing or may be presented in writing to: Secretary of the District, Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, P.O. Box 9000, Presidio Station, San Francisco, CA, 94129-0601. Comments may also be sent by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com . Written comments should be received by April 21, 2005.
The District has been facing a financial emergency since 2002 when its 5-year projected shortfall was $454 million. Through a number of strategies to reduce costs (e.g. downsizing the organization by 20% and reducing bus service by 22%) and increase revenues (e.g. raising bridge tolls in 2002 and annual transit fare increases) that shortfall has been reduced significantly to $108 million. Strategies to reduce this remaining shortfall are currently being evaluated and include continuing past practice of annually increasing transit fares to meet operating expenses. An increase of 5% is proposed in light of the following:
1. Financial Need: The current estimate of next year's (FY 2006) budget shortfall is $8 million and $108 million over 5 years. 2. Higher Transit Costs: Cost inflation rises each year. 3. Low Fare Recovery: Transit ridership remains depressed due to continued economic downturn that has delayed job formation and reduced overall travel. Current transit fare recovery is at 27% (22% for bus and 40% for ferry) and will fall further next year due to inflation factors without a fare adjustment 4. Delay to Development of Comprehensive Transit Fare Program: Staff continues to work on changes to the fare structure to improve customer experience and reduce administrative costs with TransLink implementation scheduled for the beginning of 2006. It would be premature to attempt to phase in elements of the new comprehensive fare program for a July 1, 2005, fare increase.
NOTE: The proposed transit fare increase is for intercounty travel only and not applicable to local travel. Local transit fares are set by the Marin County Transit District, which is not considering a fare increase at this time.

Memorial Day: Respect and Honor
Memorial Day Sonnet
If Liberty means anything to me,
I will remember what my freedom cost,
By those who gave their all to keep me free,
Whose lives were sacrificed, but never lost.
I will remind myself of what they did,
And keep them dearly cherished in my heart;
Their honor never from me shall be hid
And I will know they always did their part
To save our nation and its people here,
To pledge their lives in defense of our ways,
To show that freedom always outlives fear,
And sacrifice is hallowed all our days.
If Liberty means anything to me,
I will remember those who kept me free.

The man who pleaded guilty in the balloon boy hoax has been released from the Larimer County jail to serve the rest of his sentence through the alternative sentencing unit.
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Eloise Campanella says Richard Heene was transferred Sunday and is expected to work during the day, then spend nights at a work-release dormitory. She didn't have information Monday on where he'll work.
Heene started serving a 90-day sentence Jan. 11 after pleading guilty to falsely influencing the sheriff. His wife, Mayumi, pleaded guilty to filing a false report and must serve 20 days in jail.
Sheriff's officials say the couple's report Oct. 15 that their young son had floated away in a UFO-shaped helium balloon was a hoax.

I recently visited the park to play with my two boys (age 4 and 14 months). It was a particularly hot day at the park and all we wanted to do was get wet, but avoid having to wait in any lines. The Count's Splash Castle has always captivated my eldest from a far, but he would not even consider going in even if I begged him. He loves the park's other water attractions, but something about all of the water squirting and giant bucket falling with 1000 gallons of water scared him. I suggested that we go in towards the back of Splash Castle away from the bucke
Azul has been a very popular show since it debuted last season at SeaWorld San Antonio. The combination of animal and human performers makes for a thrilling and interesting show.

I'm toying with the idea of setting up a hot composting pile or two. The idea was spawn after watching Tino on Gardening Australia. The whole concept just looked fantastic! Now I'm wondering how to really go about it. Do I go out and by straw? Or do I use gum leaves (which I have in abundance)? What makes good green matter? Tino used nasturtium… I'll have to think more about that. Maybe grass clippings? I'm just betting that straw and some large-leaf green will give the best combination. Time to experiment!

Príncipe is the smaller, northern major island of the country of São Tomé and Príncipe lying off the west coast of Africa.[1] It has an area of 136 square kilometres (53 sq mi) and a population of approximately 5,000. The island is a heavily eroded volcano speculated to be over three million years old, surrounded by smaller islands including Ilheu Bom Bom, Ilhéu Caroço, Tinhosa Grande and Tinhosa Pequena. Part of the Cameroon Line archipelago, Príncipe rises in the south to 948 metres at Pico de Príncipe, in a thickly forested area forming part of the Obo National Park.[2]
The island was uninhabited when discovered by the Portuguese and named "Príncipe" (Prince's island) in honor of Afonso, Prince of Portugal, his father's favorite. Subsequently, the north and centre of the island were made into plantations, most of them formed by Portuguese colonialists using slave labor. These concentrated initially on producing sugar and later on cocoa, becoming the world's greatest cocoa producer.[3] Since independence, these plantations have largely reverted to forest.
Príncipe was the site where Einstein's Theory of Relativity was experimentally proved successful by Arthur Stanley Eddington and his team during the total solar eclipse of May 29, 1919.
The island is part of Pagué District, the only district of Príncipe Province.
Príncipe has one town, Santo António, and an airport (IATA code: PCP, ICAO: FPPR), as well as some villages including Bela Vista, Bombom, Futuro, Neves Ferreira, Paciencia, Ponta Fonte, Ribeira Ize, Santo António de Ureca and Vila Rosa. Few of them are connected to the small road network.
Besides the official language of Portuguese, a local tongue called Principense or Lunguyê and, in some scale, Forro are also spoken.
Twin towns – Sister cities[edit]
Príncipe is twinned with:

In presenting his New York Fashion Week runway show for N. Hoolywood's Fall/Winter 2014 collection, designer Daisuke Obana looked to the impeccably dressed bootleggers from the Prohibition Era spanning 1920 to 1933. Accordingly, the men wore beautifully tailored camel topcoats over loose-fitting flannel suits, along with peacoats, fedoras and wool knit caps. Some of the looks seemed to suggest the smuggler gentlemen who worked point at the docks, with even the low men on the bootlegging depth chart sporting dapper ribbed sweaters, treated denim pieces and aprons. The collection drew out the refined elements of the historic period, combining to produce the new dandy.

elephant asks: What's your favorite date?
Source: fratatattat.tumblr.com via Katie on Pinterest
Dinner and a movie is pretty played out.
Picnics are fun. Actually, anything outdoors is fun and gives you a chance to talk and spend quality time together. Whether you're dating around or dating your spouse, what's your favorite date?
And if you don't have a favorite or seem to be stuck doing the same old thing all the time, here's a (fun and funny) list to get you started:
Loved it? Leave a tip!
3 Responses to "elephant asks: What's your favorite date?"
There's a lot of fun stuff here. I shall use some of them.
Thanks. -
Go out for dinner and make friends with as many people as you can in the restaurant (including kitchen staff). Thank them all for joining you as you leave. — Choose 5 items each and video-tape commercials. (fun items include: toilet paper, a condom, crackers, a paper clip, chop sticks) — Make an iPhoto book for a friend/family member — Write out birthdates to remember on the calendar and then make cards — make sushi together — OH – I really like this one … each of you writes 15 fun ideas on papers. Fold them and put them in a jar called "The we don't know what the hell to do jar." When you are stuck, pull one out. Do it. Cheers.

Ideally, electroporation should be carried out in hypoosmolar buffer, in which the cell absorbs water shortly before the pulse and then swells up as a result. A number of effects, including a decreased optimal pulse voltage ensure that the plasma membrane can be permeated more easily.
For most cell types, the 2030-minute incubation period in hypoosmolar buffer has no effect on the viability of the cells. However, the incubation in hypoosmolar buffer may induce apoptosis, or even lysis, in very sensitive cells. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to test the tolerance of the cells to hypoosmolar conditions. The easiest way of doing so is by incubating the cells for 30 minutes in hypoosmolar buffer and then performing a viability stain using trypan blue or propidium iodide. If observation under a microscope reveals lysis in more than 10% of the cells, the osmolarity of the buffer must be increased by adding isoosmolar buffer. To determine the optimal osmolarity, it is advisable to incubate the cells in different mixing ratios of hypo- and isoosmolar buffer for 30 minutes prior to the experiment (see Table 2).
This 30-minute period is the maximum incubation time for the cells in the electroporation buffer system. A new viability test followed by observation under a microscope determines the osmolarity that can be tolerated by the cells. The mixing concentrations can then be used for all subsequent experiments with this cell type.

People should watch TAPPED, The Movie – if they want more info on why we should refrain from bottled water…..
Education, Awareness – super important in this world where many, many, many big businesses just care about the bottom line – what they put in their pockets.
Thanks, Maureen! TAPPED was excellent, wasn't it? I wrote about it here: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2010/05/water-is-a…

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) is up slightly following a better-than-expected retail sales report. As of 1:15 p.m. EDT the Dow was up 7 points, or 0.05%, to 14,475. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) is up 0.15% to 1,555.
There were three U.S. economic releases today.

The one to pay attention to is the retail sales report from the Department of Commerce, which showed that retail sales rose at their fastest monthly rate in five months, up 1.1% from January to a seasonally adjusted $421.4 billion. Year over year, retail sales were up 4.6%. Retails sales are an especially important metric to watch, as consumer spending makes up 70% of the U.S. economy. Economists had been expecting a gain of only 0.7% as the increased payroll tax and rising gasoline prices ate into consumers' wallets.
Spending at grocery stores rose 0.7%, while spending at restaurants fell 0.7%, indicating that consumers are eating at home more. Consumers also spent less money at department stores, on home furnishings, on electronics, and on appliances. Consumers did not slow spending on their cars, however: Automobile sales rose 1.1% in February, showing continued strength for the time being. Spending at gasoline stations rose 5%, reflecting February's higher gasoline prices. Except in California, gasoline prices have not crossed the psychologically significant $4 level at which you start to see consumers trying to limit their gasoline purchases.
For the time being, the economy is chugging along slowly. It remains to be seen whether this can continue with consumers cutting back spending in every area but automobiles.
Today's Dow leader
Today's Dow leader is IBM (NYSE: IBM ) , up 0.6% to $211.97 on no real news. IBM was recently ranked No. 24 on The Motley Fool's list of the 25 Best Companies in America; you can read more about what makes IBM one of America's best companies. While IBM's growth has been slowing, there's a lot to like about the company, including its expanding IT products and services businesses. IBM also pays a steady dividend with a trailing yield of 1.6%. The company raised its dividend in each of the past 17 years and could raise it again this year.

~MARY BIDDINGER~ THE LAST MAN SHE EVER KNEW She was famous for the way her husband killed her, not for the clove-oranges she hung on trees in December, or how her red hair crackled when storms rolled into town. Maybe she was not dead but just living somewhere else with different people, sleeping on vaguely familiar pillows. Lost in the woods, she'd stop and look into a wren's nest half expecting a mirror. The dogs gave up after five days, so the ribbons came down. Cody made a popcorn funnel out of the missing wife sign. Diggers struck shale and swore it was a buried thigh bone but knew better, called it a day. Perhaps she hopped a rail car at sunrise, leaving behind blood that was not hers, a clapboard ranch that wasn't hers either. The countertops were pocked with crumbs and coffee grounds. Maybe she was ashamed, pulled a damp cloth from her apron pocket as he studied her dim reflection in the glass panel of the oven door, long shadows on the ceiling, after riding so many miles to find her. © by Mary Biddinger

The app simply displays a randomly selected message if the app hasn't been run earlier in the day. This is my main method. Code:
public static void main(String args[]) Code:
public class Form { |
The solution was simply to include the class file Form$1.class in the jar
>jar cfe app.jar Main Main.class Form.class Form$1.class or >jar cfe app.jar Main * |

– CM Punk recently spoke with the CBS affiliate in Chicago to promote his Comic Con appearance.
Punk talked about how he didn't meet Brock Lesnar until he came back to WWE and spoke on locker room talk:
"There are a lot of people back there who say me and Brock are very very similar. Unapproachable, bad attitude. A kind of cloud hanging over our heads. But to me, he's a sweetheart. I have no bad stories about Brock, yet."
Punk also feels that his relationship with Vince McMahon has changed since WrestleMania 29. He talked about his relationship with Vince:
"The relationship is certainly different and that's something that's always evolving. My relationship with Vince today is different than it was in April. It's something that constantly changes."
