I'd be happy if they just stopped breaking all the add-ons with every single release.
I mean why do they even bother with (eg.) "appearance" plugins if they break them every week and you have to go back to the default.
They should just remove support for them and be done with it. Save everybody's time.
The fundamental problem is the whole concept of a "Web of Trust." How or why should I trust that a collision detection mechanism is in place, functioning properly, and has not been manually overridden? We've come full-circle to "I just have to blindly trust."
True, but lets get everybody used to using https and get it enabled on all the servers.
Once that's done, THEN we can tackle the problem of who to trust with the certificates.
"The longest journey starts with a single step", etc.
I just checked Windows update and my "update" is still there...
I don't have a problem with FTDI technology itself, the problem is with the hardware clones.
But FTDI could have taken a different route and instead show an annoying pop-up or only allow 300bps on counterfeit chips.
As an eBay buyer, how am I supposed to know what I'm going to receive?
A.... the clones do cost them reputation.
As opposed to bricking innocent people's devices, which doesn't?
Also lumber. Everyone knows a 2 by 4, but say that in metric. That'll probably be easy to fix though.
"5 by 10" ?
I'm still reeling over the fact they noticed that "Start Menu usage dropped" right after they removed the start button.
How is that possible?
State and local politicians know who elects them, and it ain't Elon Musk.
They also know they aren't going to personally foot the bill for the legal defense. The taxpayer will do that for them!
Maybe you wear baggy pants with elastic waistband.
Hipsters prefer the "two pin plug" look.
Practically everybody puts their phone in a case. Which makes wonder: why is phone thinness such a huge issue?
Because you don't want something to be an inch thick when it's in a case....
In the end a large flat object can be broken, that's just physics and no amount of design will change that.
If you bother to look at the videos you'll see they all seem to bend right where the volume buttons are. That's called a "weak point" and a certain amount of design will change that (and without violating the laws of physics!)
Remember that in realty Apple's has reports of just six actual phones being bent.
Riiiight....becuase Apple has never lied about product defects and never, ever deleted a forum post that pointed them out.
how do you get away from the "I nicked my iPhone dropping it out of my car, let me bend it and get a new one" crowd?
Simple: You make a phone that doesn't bend in normal use.
The general consensus that Consumer Reports seems to be getting at here is that the results that they observed shows that while the iPhones do bend, the amount of force required to do so results in phones from other manufacturers simply breaking under the stresses involved.
If by "phones from other manufacturers" you mean "the HTC One (M8)", then, yes, that is correct.
The real problem is the size. There's a physical principle called a "lever" which multiplies forces. Maybe you can google it...
Things are not as simple as they seems at first. - Edward Thorp

Working TogetherWe often let you know in this newsletter about what your County government is doing to make your life easier. But there's another theme running through this newsletter: Broward County is providing you opportunities to help improve your community -- sometimes while saving money.
Some people believe that there is little they can do to affect the world around them, but that's just not true. The opportunities to affect your lives are everywhere, from voting to volunteerism. Government is just a mechanism that you have empowered to help you make this a better community. But it's a partnership and we can't do it alone. We're trying to do our part; we hope you'll join us in the effort.
Making Taxes A Little Less PainfulBroward County residents who want to drop off their property tax payments in person no longer have to find a parking place and feed a meter before going inside the Governmental Center to wait on line.
On March 30 and April 2, residents can use a drive-thru payment station in the parking lot of the Governmental Center Annex, 115 S. Andrews Ave., in downtown Fort Lauderdale, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Customers should enter the parking lot from the Brickell Avenue side of the Governmental Center and follow the signs. For your convenience payments can also be made online at any branch of Wells Fargo Bank. To view your taxes or for more information regarding your tax bill, visit broward.org/revenue or call 954-831-4000.
Eco-MattersBeing a good neighbor in Broward County means keeping an eye on how we use and preserve our natural resources. One way to honor conservation and learn how to use what we have more efficiently is to attend the 10th Annual Broward Water Matters Day on Saturday, March 10, at Tree Tops Park, 3900 S.W. 100 Ave., in Davie.
This free event teaches guests what water resources exist, how water is managed and how we are planning for the future. Residents will receive tips on water conservation, find out about rebates and incentives for upgrading to water-conserving devices and learn how to create "Florida Friendly" and drought-tolerant landscapes.
Guests will also receive free native plants or trees if they check in at 12 or more of the event's 40 exhibits examining water conservation techniques, smart irrigation, native landscaping and what role they play in protecting and conserving our water supplies.
From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., there will be activities for the entire family including face painting, a caricature artist, crafts for children, rain barrel workshops, the music of environmental folk singer Grant Livingston, and a variety of giveaways and raffles including an irrigation system upgrade. A free electronics recycling drop-off will also be available.
Admission to the event is free, but the park charges $1.50 per person for entry, although children 5 years old and under are free.
For more information on Water Matters Day or water conservation, visit broward.org/watermatters. Save Money and the Planet Among the lessons at the Water Matters Day is the fact that many conventional toilets waste immense amounts of water. But County residents can save water and money through the Broward Water Partnership's Toilet Rebate Program.
Available through October this year, this program offers up to two $100 rebates for buying approved WaterSense certified High Efficiency Toilets that use 1.28 gallons of water per flush or less. Residents also may also qualify to receive free low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators. Pre-rinse spray valves are available for business owners.
To determine your eligibility, visit ConservationPays.com or call 800-270-9794 for more information.
Right now also is a smart time to buy an energy-saving appliance because you may qualify for a different rebate program, thanks to the County's ENERGY SENSE program, administered by the Natural Resources Planning and Management Division.
Through March 16, Broward County residents and small to medium-sized businesses can purchase a new qualifying ENERGY STAR refrigerator or clothes washer and receive a rebate for $150 or $250 – which may save you up to a fifth of the cost.
This is a repeat of last year's program when the County handed out more than $180,000 in rebates. More information is available.
Riding the Storm OutHave you ever wanted to be part of the safety net that warns your neighbors of impending severe weather? The Broward County Emergency Management Division is recruiting residents to join the nationwide network of SKYWARN Storm Spotters volunteers who alert the National Weather Service of severe weather as well as damage from storms.
The first step is for volunteers to undergo training from a meteorologist on Saturday, March 3, at the Broward County Emergency Operations Center, 201 N.W. 84 Ave., Plantation. There will be information for newcomers as well as experienced spotters.
Attendees, who must be at least 14 years old, must preregister by Thursday, March 1. The class is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., but attendees must make their own lunch arrangements.
To register, call 954-249-5343 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I-595 Rolling AlongFor all the noise, rush hour congestion and some notable accidents, work is progressing smoothly on I-595, with average monthly travel times reportedly near what they were before the project began, a project spokeswoman reported. All five segments of the ongoing expansion are 40 to 50 percent completed, she said.
Already completed is the westbound I-595 and State Road 84 direct connection ramp to the northbound lanes of the Florida's Turnpike, plus the "missing link" of westbound SR 84, which allows a driver to go from the east end of SR 84 road to the west without getting on and off I-595. That part of the project was completed one year earlier than originally scheduled.
The major work right now is the construction of the braided and by-pass ramps, to the interchange with Florida's Turnpike, the three reversible Express Lanes and the continuous connection of eastbound SR 84.
No major long-term road closings are anticipated over the next few months, although some areas may be closed overnight occasionally and some lanes may be closed for short periods.
Continued construction through the summer of 2014 will make it difficult to travel the corridor, although disruptions have been minimal considering how much massive work is underway day and night. The project appears to be on schedule.
You can sidestep the worst problems by being aware of precisely when and where work will be concentrated. An online construction map details land and ramp closures allowing you to plan for detours and additional travel time. Also, watch for information on portable message boards posted along the corridor that give motorists a few days warning about closings.
Staying Young At ArtPencil it in on your calendar: The eagerly awaited opening of the new Young At Art Museum and Broward County Library in Davie is slated for May 5. The 55,000 square-foot facility at 751 S.W. 121 Ave. will have four exhibition galleries, a National Traveling Exhibition Gallery, a theater, a recording studio, gift shop, café and preschool classroom. For more information, call 954-424-0085, Ext. 27.

Originally conceived in 2002, the re-designed WeirWolf tire from WTB is a product of 5 years development between top endurance downhiller Mark Weir and WTB chief designer Mark Slate. The product is a tire with unparalleled grip and predictability at any lean angle. The terraced side knobs feature an advanced progressive design. The tread is soft on initial turn-in and conforms to the terrain. The faster the turn-in the firmer the knobs become. The WeirWolf is at home on all big XC mountain rides, Super D races and downhill adventures.

Comments about WTB Weirwolf Race Tire '12:
these tires are excellent. they grip on whatever surface youre riding on. they have very little rolling resistance and they are very light. the only thing they are not good for is very muddy trails. but other than that theyre amazing. i have yet to have a flat tire with these. i ride almost every day and the tread is still the same as the day i got them. i use them on trails and ride them on dirt jumps and they grip no matter how fast youre going.
Best Uses
Comments about WTB Weirwolf Race Tire '12:
This tire has excellent grip at all lean angles. The further you lay it over, the more it grips. It also has excellent feedback. It is easy to tell when you are at the limits of traction, and then allows you to bring it back into traction easily (it RE-grips very well). It rolls well enough, and wears pretty well, too. This tires real strength, again, lies in its corner grip, and its feedback as you approach the limits of traction.
CAVEAT: all that traction and feedback come at a cost. It packs up and will not clean itself. I strongly recommend AGAINST using this tire if you will use it in situations where it will pack up.
It has excellent grip everywhere else.

The newest music-streaming service on the block will be launching in Australia, with existing users of MOG to be transitioned "when the timing is right".
The Audiophiliac explores the deep end of Tidal's new music subscription service, and he loves the lossless sound quality.
After years turning up its nose at subscription music, Apple changes its tune with the Beats acquisition. What does it mean? Jimmy Iovine, for one.
With the possibility of making billions in the rumored Apple-Beats deal, the high-end headphones company gets slapped with lawsuits.
Apple's rumored $3.2 billion takeover of the trendy music brand has left many scratching their heads.

The fullback experience of Pat Lambie must be trusted to start against the Australians in Brisbane.
Willie le Roux had a shocker in Mendoza but I'd start him on the right wing and move Bryan Habana back to his favoured left wing. Bjorn Basson has pace and is good under the high ball but he has always struck me as a good Super Rugby player but not quite there at Test level.
The back three axis can be improved and I believe Lambie's calm, combined with Habana being Habana and Le Roux's play-making ability makes for a greater threat.
JJ Engelbrecht is another whose defensive decision-making let him down against The Pumas. His conversion from wing to outside centre has shown growth but the one area he continues to struggle with is his defensive decision-making. It again proved erratic in Mendoza.
Jan Serfontein may be a consideration against the Wallabies. If he does not start then I at least hope he will get more game time.
Another consideration could be to play Engelbrecht on the wing, use Le Roux in an impact role and start with Serfontein at No 13.
Jano Vermaak should also get a start ahead of Ruan Pienaar. Vermaak's speed to the breakdown and different style is more suited than Pienaar to the fast paced Brisbane surface.
Willem Alberts, if selected, needs a big performance and not just a 20-minute cameo and Juandre Kruger needs an overall. Kruger is the player who controls the Bok lineout but his physicality doesn't match his rugby intellect and when the going gets a bit tough he tends to get going … like in out of there.
Beast is another who too often in the past two seasons has traded more on the spectator chant of 'BEAST' than making an impact. I wouldn't start with him.
Brisbane is also the Test that should see the return to the starting XV of Bismarck du Plessis.
The performance in Mendoza wasn't good enough and expect several changes for the battle in Brisbane.

Dog Liver Cancer
Dog Liver Cancer
Taking your dog to the vet for regular checkups is very important as it not only can ensure that they are getting the care that they need but it also affords you and your vet an opportunity to detect any serious illness that your pet may have. Certain diseases can be life threatening if you do not detect them early on and liver cancer is one of them. The earlier you find out about it then the more chance your vet has of treating your dog successfully, as well as allowing your dog to have the greatest chance at surviving. It can be heartbreaking when your dog is ill and you will want to do everything you can to try and cure them.
What is Liver cancer?
Like many other forms of Dog Cancer, the cells in your dog's body mutate and multiply, killing the healthy cells in their bodies. Often these cells will then form tumors which are the thing that can then harm your dog. If you do not catch this form of cancer very quickly then your dog is very likely to die from it. When a mass or tumor grows inside the liver it stops it from functioning properly and can also spread to other vital organs as well. Although this form of cancer is quite uncommon it can occur and you need to ensure that you keep on top of your dog's health.
Symptoms of liver cancer
There are several non specific symptoms that can be linked to this form of cancer and these include Dog Loss of Appetite, Dog Increased Thirst, Dog Vomiting and tiredness. Your dog may also be experiencing Dog Increased Urination which is an indication that their liver is not working as well as it should. These are also signs of Dog Liver Disease. Your dog may be suffering from all of these or simply some of them and if you are worried or unsure then you should take them to a vet immediately as they will be able to determine what is wrong with your dog as well as creating the ideal treatment plan for your dog.
Diagnosis and the way forward
When you take your dog to the vet, they will run a series of tests including blood tests to determine what is wrong with him. Deficiency of red blood cells and high platelets will often indicate your dog has a liver problem. There may be other reasons as well, so the vet will take x-rays to determine if there is a mass in or around your dog's liver. Ultrasounds are often used as well as these are effective and noninvasive to your dog. Your vet will then need to do a biopsy to determine what the mass is and if it is cancerous or not.
Treatment of liver cancer
Surgical treatments are the most effective with liver cancer and removing the problem is the first stage. There is however several side effects to having this done and you will need to decide if it is in the best interest to have the surgery. Radiation therapy is often performed on dogs with this form of cancer and can have good results. Whatever course of treatment you decide on, you will need to be quick in deciding as time is very important when your dog has cancer.

Guest blog by Jacque Schultz, Senior Director, ASPCA Equine Fund.
Do you care about homeless horses? We do, too! And we also care about those groups who give their all to help equines get a second chance—whether at a sanctuary or through adoption.
The ASPCA Equine Fund provides generous grants to groups that care for rescued horses, mules, donkeys and ponies—both wild and domestic. We also offer a series of day-long workshops aimed at helping these rescue groups with fundraising, board development and assisting law enforcement with large-scale cruelty seizures.
Do you know any equine sanctuaries that could use our support? Ask them to keep up-to-date on workshops, webinars, grant opportunities and more by subscribing to ASPCA Hoof Beat by emailing [email protected]. And remember to support your local horse rescue!
Laurie has worked for years to save horses that would be sent for meat with little to no help other than family, at this time she took in a horse that needs surgery on his leg and is trying to raise the funds and took into two horses that the owner could not take care of..I am hoping you can help her out with finding funds for the surgery and feed for the other negelted horses she has...
Charleston. SC has exotic birds included in their ASPCA and they have had it in place for a while now. I am aware that there is an endless need for private Parrot Rescue Shelters as I have worked for one of the best. Our State should be providing this care for our Exotics!
It is my dream to see this SC Parrot Sanctuary governmentally funded, professionally run, and a safe haven for our birds to fruition. If it can be done in the Lowcountry it can be done here in the Midlands AND I'm mean enough, educated enough, smart enough and love all birds deeply enough to be successful at it....SO I accept the job.
.......not kidding!

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help investigate inappropriate blood clot formation, to help determine the cause of recurrent miscarriage, or as part of an evaluation for antiphospholipid syndrome or sometimes other autoimmune diseases
When to Get Tested?
When you have had one or more unexplained venous or arterial blood clots (thrombotic episodes); when you have had recurrent miscarriages, especially in the second and third trimesters; when you have symptoms consistent with an autoimmune disease
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Cardiolipin antibodies are autoantibodies produced by the immune system that mistakenly target the body's own cardiolipins, substances found in the outermost layer of cells (cell membranes) and platelets. These autoantibodies can affect the body's ability to regulate blood clotting in a way that is not well understood. This test detects the presence of cardiolipin antibodies in the blood.
Cardiolipins, and other related phospholipids, are lipid molecules that play an important role in the blood clotting process. Cardiolipin antibodies target cardiolipins and are associated with an increased risk of developing recurrent inappropriate blood clots (thrombi). They may also be associated with a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), recurrent miscarriages (especially in the second and third trimester), and with premature labor and preeclampsia.
Cardiolipin antibodies are the most common antiphospholipid antibody, a group of autoantibodies associated with excessive clotting and autoimmune diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). They are frequently detected with other antiphospholid antibodies, such as lupus anticoagulant and anti-beta2 glycoprotein I. They may also be detected temporarily in people with acute infections, HIV/AIDS, some cancers, with drug treatments (such as phenytoin, penicillin, and procainamide), and in the elderly.
When an individual has inappropriate blood clot formation, recurrent miscarriages, cardiolipin antibodies, and/or another antiphospholipid antibody, the person may be diagnosed with Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). APS can be primary, that is, not necessarily associated with a secondary or related autoimmune disorder.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

That has been my experience.
(Andrew): That atheists don't quote scripture? I just did. So now you have a new experience.
It reeks of 'being preached at' which atheists hate [That's WHY they are atheists, according to what they say themselves.
(Andrew): I don't know who you've been talking to, but what makes me an atheist is my lack of belief in the existence of God. That's all it is.
Btw—this has nothing to do with how (or if) Jesus fulfilled the Law, while the scripture I quoted does. Rather than attack a group of people about which you seem to know very little, why not try to hop back on topic?

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day column, says Alan Solomons has maximised his resources in Port Elizabeth.
It is no exaggeration to emphasise the importance of the Eastern Province Kings beating the Pumas and playing in next year's Currie Cup Premier Division. It is also no exaggeration to emphasise the contribution of Kings director of rugby and head coach Alan Solomons in making this all possible.
Solomons, in a season, has done what the politicians and the rugby administrators have been speaking about for the past five years, which is to turn Eastern Province into a rugby region once again.
There were no pre-season promises from Solomons that in 2011 Eastern Province would again be among the top eight premier domestic sides in South Africa. There was no handout from South African rugby in the form of a restructured Currie Cup competition that accommodated the Eastern Cape by way of Eastern Province. There was no treasure chest, filled with cash to buy the best players and buy a winning culture.
All Solomons enjoyed, by way of luxury, was his passion, that of provincial president Cheeky Watson and the warrior spirit of De Wet Barry to lead a bunch of wannabes and could have beens.
Solomons, like he did when he was at UCT, Western Province and Ulster, relied on passion and a work ethic that has never failed and never ceased to amaze those around him.
Many class players have promised Solomons they will sign with the Kings when the side's Super Rugby participation is guaranteed, which is supposedly 2013, but understandably none were prepared to sign for a team in the First Division and more familiar with a wooden spoon than the silver spoon.
Eastern Province rugby has been a mess for some time. Administratively it has been a jungle that has attracted every sort. Watson has restored integrity to the boardroom in the province but all that restores respect to a team is consistently positive results.
Not only did Solomons have to battle cynicism and the stench of mediocrity, but he had to build a winning culture with players who will be lucky to make it to Super Rugby because their talent doesn't match their enthusiasm.
The result has been as remarkable as the 36-all away draw to the Pumas in the first of two promotion-relegation matches; the very same Pumas who went to Coca Cola Park (Ellis Park to the traditionalists) a fortnight ago and whipped John Mitchell's hyped Lions.
Mitchell has rightly been praised for finding the occasional roar in the Lions this year, but seven wins from 14 is a telling statistic that demands acknowledgement and therefore perspective.
Solomons' effort also demands perspective and the kind of acknowledgement that has always been denied him in South African rugby.
Solomons is not popular among South African rugby administrators because he is intelligent, hard working and has never suffered a fool. When involved with Western Province and the Springboks (as Nick Mallett's assistant in 1997 and 1998) he encountered many fools and never excused their incompetence. He was vocal in his criticism and refused to play the political game of politeness.
In Watson he has found an ally and comfort that having an opinion is a good thing and exercising one's right to think is even better. He has a provincial president who enjoys an intelligent coach and promotes the value of debate.
Solomons challenges any stereotype and his urgency and intensity scares more people than it seduces, but he has an ability to maximise any resource and the one thing he has always had is loyalty from players.
Barry, a WP and Solomons favourite 10 years ago, is an example of this loyalty, but those players who are close to Solomons will also tell you that they know they have Solomons' loyalty, which is why he so often gets a return on his player investments.
Solomons is a sporting cliche because so much of what he does is based on the principle that a close team is a successful one – and there's nothing wrong with sporting cliche that make us smile.
Eastern Province rugby is a point away from reaching the point from which there should never be a return to the sort of mediocrity Solomons inherited.
Never has a play-off promotion match mattered so much to South African rugby because an EP victory will be so much more than a win on the rugby field.
And for that Alan Solomons, Cheeky Watson and De Wet Barry can never be thanked enough.

Sir: Perhaps, as Niall Meehan claims, we did not fight in order to save "the Jews, gypsies, Communists, gays and other groups" but the fact that we did fight saved many of these people.
No doubt Mr Meehan is proud of his country's neutrality, unlike many of his countrymen, who volunteered to fight against fascism.
Yours faithfully,
Inkersall, Chesterfield

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great product and price
We just used this product for our daughters wedding and we were VERY satisfied with the programs we received. While the editing of the design on-line can be painstakingly slow at times, the end result was very satisfying. Customer service is also great as we did have to call in once to get a question answered. Highly recommend the website!
Loved them
These programs were so very amazing, I wanted a little sparkle on my programs so I ordered some hotfix crystals and put a few on them which gave them that little bit more sparkle. Everyone love them!!
Quality is outstanding, worth the money!!
I was hesitant at first becuse of the price, but I couldn't be happier with how they turned out and the quality!
Amazing Wedding Programs... beautiful and very professional
I will be using this company again. They came out exactly how we needed and in a very short time. The design was beautiful and so easy to work with. Thanks so much!!!

Martin Walsh, a former aide to late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and current president of government relations firm Gateway Public Solutions, said Biden called his cellphone Tuesday night and gave him congratulations meant for the Marty Walsh who won Boston's mayoral race that night, the Boston Globe reported Thursday.
"You son of a gun, Marty!" Biden said. "You did it!"
Walsh said he thanked Biden, but explained that he had the wrong Marty Walsh.
Walsh said he also received voice mail messages from Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, who serves as vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., the chairwoman of the committee.
Walsh said his wife was amused by the attention he received.
"She was laughing," he said.
He said it's easy to get confused when it comes to people named Marty Walsh.
"We're a dime a dozen in Boston," he said. "I probably know eight Marty Walshes."

ORIENTAL — There is a lot to see and do at the fifth annual Oriental In-Water Boat Show along with viewing a marina stocked with new and brokers boats.
The fifth annual edition of the Rotary-sponsored three-day show has informational seminars, a nautical flea market and even stylish automobiles for the April 12 to 14 events at Pecan Grove Marina. Through Saturday, there were upwards of 80 exhibitors scheduled.
"Based on the combination of number of vendors, number of boats, sales attributed and number of attendees, the Oriental show has every indication of having become one of the largest and most successful in-water shows between Annapolis and Savannah," said coordinator Sam Myers.
The show will have plenty of new and used vessels, along with two classics — 1953 Barbour Boat Works 15-foot wooden boats. These were made at the longtime boat works in New Bern.
"Although the seller is from Greensboro, they might just find their way back home during the show," Myers said.
Charitable groups will be in attendance, such as the N.C. Leukemia & Lymphoma Society from Raleigh, promoting its own Leukemia Cup Regatta fundraiser.
And, in what could be seen as a bit of irony, joining the 70-plus vendors will be Gary Mastrodonato of The Masters Wealth Group, with tips on saving money for a comfortable retirement.
Myers said the Nautical Flea Market was a new fundraising idea two years ago, which was tested in 2011 as an event at Lou Mac Park on the Oriental waterfront. It was added to the show last year.
"With all the boats around here, I thought that there might be some folks that had old, gently-used boat stuff to get rid of, or that there might be some who need some more gently-used stuff," he said. "It proved to be a very good draw, made Rotary a few dollars and helped us set a record gate."
For those looking for a land machine, Foreign Cars Italia of Greensboro will make its debut appearance at the show.
But, boats remain the stars of the show.
"Whatever boat you may have in mind — sail or power, fishing or cruising, kayak or yacht — expect to find a good selection at a good price," Myers said.
In the past, there have been exhibitors from as far away Hampton, Va., Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Bryson City, N.C.
The seminar sessions have been a popular feature of the show and this year there are nine featured speakers over three days.
The hour-long talks are designed to provide boaters with insight on how to save in many areas — a ticket, their craft, equipment and their lives in emergencies. There are also sessions on weather, new marine electronics and local seafood.

Fragile X Syndrome
Molecular Genetics Clinical Laboratory- Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X Syndrome is an X-linked dominant disorder with variable penetrance characterized by developmental delay, mental retardation (severe in males and milder in females) and macroorchidism in post-pubertal males. The genetic defect is an expansion of a trinucleotide repeat (CGG) pattern that causes loss of function of the FMR1 gene localized in chromosome Xq27. Increases in clinical severity are frequently observed after parent-to-child transmission. Female carriers are usually mildly- or unaffected and there may be unaffected males that are carriers of a premutation.
Over 99% of affected individuals have an expansion of the repeated CGG pattern in the 5' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene that is readily detected. Normal individuals have from 6 to 52 CGG repeats; repeats from 52 to 200 are considered premutations that are not pathogenic but are at risk for expansion in the next generation. Affected individuals have over 200 CGG repeats, with longer repeats suggesting increased severity. Rarely, patients may have FMR1 deletions or point mutations.
If the etiology of mental impairment is not known, Fragile X testing is usually offered as a combination test along with a routine karyotype in the Cytogenetics Laboratory. Cytogenetic studies are critical since constitutional abnormalities have been identified as frequently or more frequently than fragile X mutations in mentally retarded individuals referred for fragile X testing.
Most testing is completed within a time of 21 days following specimen receipt. Prenatal testing is usually completed within 7 days from specimen receipt.
All specimens should be kept at room temperature and shipped overnight in an insulated container.
Adults and Children:
For DNA analysis ONLY, a tube of 4 cc whole blood collected in an EDTA (lavender top) tube is preferred. Whole blood collected with other anticoagulants is acceptable but not preferred.
For combination Molecular and Cytogenetic karyotype analysis, two tubes of whole blood are required.
1) A tube of 4 cc whole blood collected in an EDTA (lavender top) tube is preferred. Whole blood collected with other anticoagulants is acceptable but not preferred.
2) A second tube with 3 cc of blood collected in sodium heparin (green top) tube is required. Lithium heparin and other anticoagulants are not acceptable.
For DNA analysis ONLY, a the minimum specimen is 0.5 cc whole blood in an EDTA tube.
For combination Molecular and Cytogenetic karyotype analysis, the minimum specimen is 0.5 cc whole blood in an EDTA tube and 3 cc of blood collected in sodium heparin (green top) tube.
Amniocentesis: 15 cc whole amniotic fluid submitted without culture. A backup culture should be arranged but is rarely required.
CVS: a single whole villus, dissected free of decidua.
The cost of testing is available upon request.

text: These boats have a well-deserved reputation for being over-built, and designed to take on sea conditions that would make lesser boats stay at the dock. Their deep-V hull designs offer Carolina flare and dramatic deadrise, while the hull construction is solid fiberglass which is significantly thicker than the norm. As a result these boats are unusually heavy, and although that means they aren't the fastest on the water, they're able to bull their way through rough sea conditions while keeping passengers comfortable and safe. Sportfishermen, in particular, will like these boats, which are outfitted specifically for inshore and offshore angling.

Question: I'm enjoying The Blacklist thus far and would watch it for James Spader's performance alone, but I'm also enjoying the stories as well. NBC is sticking to a formula that has worked before, albeit on a sister network. The intriguing loner, at odds with a government agency, solving the case of the week with the help of his associates, with a through story that's addressed for a few minutes at the start and end of each episode, just enough to keep the serial nature of the story going. Am I the only one who thinks that The Blacklist is Burn Notice with a network budget? If the show is successful, NBC will end up as an expensive version of USA Network. Not there's anything wrong with that. - Rick

There was a time to face reality, and a time for having fun.
The time for both was Saturday at the 20th Annual Teen Fest, sponsored by the Young Women's Outreach Center. The event was held for ages 10-18 at Lenoir Community College.
There were workshops in the morning for the girls and for the boys, as well as classes on subjects such as drugs and alcohol prevention, self esteem, date rape, sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancy prevention, bullying and environmental control.
Following a lunch, the teens watched live entertainment in the afternoon.
Brionna Harrison, 16, of Snow Hill, took a workshop on self-esteem. She said a lot of young people have issues with how they feel about themselves.
"Basically," she said about what she gleaned from the class, "it's like it doesn't matter what you have on the outside. It's what's on the inside."
Winta McNeil, 18, of Snow Hill, was moved by her instructor's experience with date rape. She said she was concerned about abuse.
"(The instructor) said walk away when anybody gets angry," McNeil said.
Joyce Clark, executive director and founder of the YWOC, said 20 years ago, Eastern North Carolina rated No. 1 across the state in teen pregnancies.
Working in mental health, Clark said she saw that families needed a holistic approach to reduce the teen pregnancy numbers.
"This was a calling," she said, "and a need to help the youth."
The goal was to educate not only the youth, but their families, she said. In time, the program evolved to include many other issues the community faces.
Like bullying.
Curtis Speller, a gang prevention specialist, didn't mince words when he told students not to bully the weaker students in school and to realize the affects bullying has on others.
"Don't bully teachers," he said. "Don't bully everybody at school."
He warned the class that bullying students could cause what Martin Luther King Jr. fought to change to turn around and segregate them into low-performing schools.
"It taught me how not to bully," said Phillip Boney, 13, of Kinston, "and be fair to people."
Kinston Public Safety Director Bill Johnson facilitated a workshop for boys only. His emphasis was on getting young teens to think about how education relates to an expected standard of living.
Students had to choose a career and determine their salary, based on their education. Then they had to figure up a household budget and see whether their salary could meet their expectations.
Johnson wanted them to understand how education relates to income, which relates to a person's standard of living.
"I think some of them got it," he said about the students. "Others don't really look down the road 20 years."
Sgt. Chad Rouse with Kinston's Narcotics Division said young people know drugs are illegal and bad, but they don't realize the "revolving door" of arrests often starts with one marijuana seed.
"But what they don't understand," he said, "is the concept of what it costs them monetarily and the damage it does to their family. Their going to jail is just a small portion of what actually occurs."
Rouse filled a chalkboard with fee after fee and explains how those fees compound as a person continues to mount up charges against them. Additionally, their parents could be charged, as well, in some circumstances. And the charges, particularly felonies, don't go away.
"I would say 90 percent starts with just what we hear, 'It's just marijuana,' " Rouse said. "And then it extends."
Clark said she sees young adults who can't get a job because of their past drug or criminal record.
Isiah McCullum, 17, of Greenville, said the drug and alcohol workshop provided plenty of examples of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"It's going to help me choose who I'm going to hang around with," he said, "— be more watchful."

This month is a month of milestones for me. We all experience them, but it's interesting that so many milestones are occurring in such quick succession: all of them — many of them big ones — occurring in a one month's period of time. Allow me to recount a few of them for you in the hope that they may cause you to reflect on several that may have occurred in your lives, too.
Ah the milestones! They help us to define our lives. Events that happen in succession — beginnings, special occasions, plannings, ends — they help add order to the jumble of minutes, hours, days, and years that comprise the puzzle pieces of our lives. They depict the circle of our lives.
Milestone number one this month: our youngest child — a son — is to be married in Leesburg, Va. Typically, at least in my experience as a parent raising both sons and daughters, his sisters were "born older." They married younger. They were ready to start adulthood sooner. They were more mature from the beginning.
But he's caught up and is marrying a wonderful girl. I remind him often how fortunate he is to have met her and to have won her love. I encourage him to often remind her of this fact, too.
While we're gaining a daughter and not losing a son, our youngest child being married — even though he's a bit behind his sisters — is an introspective, even a little bittersweet, but an exceedingly happy milestone event in our lives.
Milestone number two: Both my wife and I are dealing with elder parent issues of health and loss of parental independence this month. There has been a role reversal in our relationships as parents and children. We children were in many ways the dependent individuals until now. Today our parents, in a manner of speaking, have taken on some of the roles of the dependence of children as their independence has waned. While we came to them for advice even years after leaving the "nest" and striking out on our own, now our parents come to us for advice.
I don't mean to overstate the situation because we are blessed that our parents are still with us here in our worldly lives and still have — to one degree or another — most of their mental (if not their physical) abilities. But both sets of parents' physical and mental abilities are on the downhill slide. Their ends, inconceivable as it seemed even just a few years ago, are now in sight.
Milestone number three: Both our eldest grandsons started kindergarten this past week. Their mothers' cried as they boarded the buses for the first time. As their grandparents, we knowingly acknowledged the emotion having experienced it ourselves.
Our grandsons' independence is on the rise — their tie to their mothers' apron strings frayed irreparably just as it was for us when their mothers boarded their buses for the first time. "This is a good thing," we tell our daughters, yet understanding their hesitation to let their "babies" go.
Milestone number four: My wife and I toured a "retirement village" — or "the end of the road" as my mother-in-law calls it — this past weekend. We are planning for an ordered end to our lives at the same time our parents' lives are nearing their ends and our youngest child's married life and our grandson's independent (kindergarten) lives are just beginning.
This retirement village offers complete care from "independent" living (they take care of everything including changing a light bulb in your apartment — how really independent is that?) through what they call "memory care," really truly the end of the road. Memory care is a nice way of saying, "dementia," which is a play on the word "demented," which is a play on the word, "crazy."
Maybe we're crazy for not putting off achieving this milestone. After all, retirement villages are not cheap. Then again, what planned, end-of-life, institutionalized elder care is?
However, we'd be worse off to not plan for our end-of-life lives, to let worry about (or hope against) dementia delay or negate our planning until it's too late. Until we're too demented to fully and knowingly participate in planning for possibly the biggest milestone of our lives: the end of them.
So it has been a big month of milestones, some better than others. But good or bad, each one adds order and purpose to our cycle of life. Though some are happy and others melancholy, I'm defined by all of my milestones just as each of us are defined by our own.

Air Force looks to revamp its definition of cyberspace
Friday - 10/12/2012, 2:10pm EDT
The Air Force says it's committed to operationalizing its approach to cyberspace and exercising control over the new warfighting domain as convincingly as it does in air and space. But the service is doing some serious soul searching as it tries to wrestle its definition of "cyber" into something that's manageable and understandable.
The concern about murky definitions of cyberspace goes all the way to the top of the Air Force. Gen. Mark Welsh, the service's new chief of staff, recently said he's worried that the service's understanding of cyber is so broad that it could turn into a "black hole" for programs and money. And when Lt. Gen. Mike Basla took over as Air Force chief information officer earlier this year, Michael Donley, the Air Force secretary, directed him to convene a summit of the Air Force's most senior leaders to get everyone on the same page. Basla said he will host that summit in November.
"The truth of the matter is that if I asked our four-star generals, our chief and our secretary, what is cyberspace, what is the Air Force role in cyberspace, what is our current capability in cyberspace?' we would truly get 15 different answers," Basla told an industry conference Thursday. "So we're going to baseline it internally, get our heads around it and understand that joint warfighter requirement."
Gen. William Shelton is one of those four-star leaders, and also happens to be the Air Force's core function lead integrator for cyberspace as the commander of Air Force Space Command. He said it's incumbent on the service to narrow down its understanding of cyber.
"Our actual working definition is still evolving as we gain operational experience and understanding, but I grow impatient as we watch evolution take its course," Shelton told the annual Air Force IT Day hosted by the northern Virginia chapter of AFCEA. "In 2006, the Air Force published a forward-looking document on cyber, but I think we'd all agree now that we started out too big and too ambitious, so we had to narrow our definition. In those days, some wanted to define cyber as the entire electromagnetic spectrum. In hindsight, I think this breadth had the unintended consequence of confusing everyone, including ourselves."
Shelton said the confusion has had operational consequences because of a lack of clarity about roles and missions within the Air Force.
"I know Mike Basla would back me up on this: I've personally observed confusion in roles, functions, lanes in the road, etcetera, due to the lack of precision in our operating definitions," Shelton said. "We owe it to our people, from the most junior airman to the secretary and chief of staff, to narrowly define what we mean when we talk about cyber. And once we've arrived at that agreed upon working definition, we must clearly communicate that to the field."
Shelton said the Air Force also owes that definition to the other military services, so decisions can be made about which parts of the military are responsible for which missions in a joint environment like U.S. Cyber Command and regional combatant commands, which draw their staff from each of the military services. First though, he said the Air Force has answer questions for itself about which capabilities it can offer.
"Certainly we have to operate and defend our networks. But what about exploitation and offensive operations? Is that Air Force business, or do we count on others to provide what I would call "high end" services? How we answer these questions obviously has major implications for Title 10 and Title 50 authorities within the Air Force," he said.
The Air Force is asking itself other big questions, like how it will acquire cyber capabilities before they're obsolete, how to set realistic expectations for securing its corner of cyberspace, and exactly what composition its cyber workforce should take.
"Just as we spooked the herd with our DC-to-daylight definition of cyber, I believe we've correspondingly confused ourselves when we transitioned all of our legacy communications professionals into the cyber operations career field. Is everyone in the new cyber operations career field doing real cyber work? One could argue it depends on the cyber definition we choose," Shelton said. "If our definition is narrow, it follows that our cyber force should be narrowly circumscribed as well. Do we need to recruit to high-end operations capability for the entire force? Or are we bound to create some haves and have nots in this career field?"
Shelton says the Air Force also needs a new paradigm for how it thinks about security. The current way of thinking, based on the objective of complete information assurance, is unrealistic given the huge spectrum of potential attackers facing the military. Instead, he said the Air Force should think about mission assurance.

Customer Reviews for Bali 5% Openness Window Blinds
"LOVE these panels!"
By Lala from Maui, HI
These panels are SO nice! We live in warm climate and have a slider where the sun really blasts in around 4-5 PM daily. The panels are amazing at keeping the heat out! I actually kept standing next to them because I couldn't believe it. They look super sleek and we have gotten a lot of complements on them. We got the grey color (I forget the name), and we are very happy, especially considering they were of the less expensive options. As for privacy, you can't see in at all from outside during the day, but at night when our lights are on, you can see silhouettes and a blur of what is inside, so not the best option if you want TOTAL privacy. You might consider layering to get total privacy at night. They were VERY difficult to hang though... that was the down side. Hubby is quite handy but it took him a while to get the head rail hung. We actually want another set of these for our other slider. Customer service was OUTSTANDING. I accidentally ordered with a cord rather than a wand, which I didn't want due to having little ones and safety. They immediately sent a new head rail, which I didn't even ask for! Shipping was fast on all accounts, and we are in Hawaii, so I was impressed with that. Pricing was about $50-75 cheaper than Lowes.View this product

The Lions caused a shock when they gave the Bulls a 44-21 hiding in their friendly at a packed Wits University.
The Bulls may have opted to field an understrength unit without Victor Matfield and Fourie du Preez to name just two, but they would have expected to be competitive at the very least.
But the Lions produced some stupendous rugby for this early in the season, scoring five first half tries, and seven in all, that entertained the 6 000 strong crowd.
The key to the win was quick ball they won at rucks, as this afforded the backs the necessary platform to pressure the Bulls' defensive line. The first four tries were all scored on the overlap due to the earlier sterling work at the breakdown.
Such was the Lions' dominance that they would have earned the bonus point - had this been competition time – after 32 minutes. The fifth was possibly the best of the evening after a 20m break from captain Baywatch Grobbelaar sent Jaque Fourie over to make the score 34-0 heading into the shed.
Fourie also highlighted his importance to the team with his marshaling of the defence, which kept the Bulls scoreless for the first half. One such hit on fellow Bok Danie Rossouw where he drove him backwards was particularly memorable.
What would have also pleased Lions coach Loffie Eloff was the form of his recruited Bok wingers, Ashwin Willemse and Henno Mentz. Finishing has been a problem, but both grasped any opportunity that came their way and were also productive around the park.
The second half saw a number of replacements on for both sides, and as a result the match deteriorated into a scrappy one. The Bulls managed to open their account five minutes into the second half with a try from replacement flank Deon Stegmann, but the Lions hit straight back.
Michael Killian, on for Willemse, charged down Burton Francis's clearance and flopped on the ball to snuff out any hopes of an unlikely Bulls comeback.
The Lions have no more official friendlies and must wait three weeks until their Super 14 opener against the Cheetahs. Conversely for Frans Ludeke's Bulls, they have two warm-ups where they will hope to gain some confidence.
Lions - Tries: Ashwin Willemse, Henno Mentz, Gert Muller, Earl Rose, Jaque Fourie, Michael Killian, Jano Vermaak. Conversions: Rose (3). Penalty: Rose.
Bulls - Tries: Deon Stegmann, Bakkies Botha, Akona Ndungane. Conversions: Burton Francis (2), Bryan Habana.
* The Lions B team beat their Bulls counterparts 22-13 after leading 12-3 at half-time. Lions centre Walter Venter was a standout for the hosts.
