[Video] I thank God that someone has remembered me from afar
Mary and her family lost everything in a flood: possessions, livestock, and their home.
"I do not take it for granted getting to December. Making it to a new year. It is by God's grace."
Explore dozens of opportunities!
Mary and her family lost everything in a flood: possessions, livestock, and their home.
"I do not take it for granted getting to December. Making it to a new year. It is by God's grace."
We asked -- and you answered.
We asked you to take a vote on our Facebook page: Would rather see Kris Allen carry chicken feed on his head, or play soccer with the kids in Kenya?
We asked if you would rather see Kris Allen attempt to make a bracelet with the artisans at Zakale creations or learn a dance from his new friends in Kenya. You voted -- now watch the video to find out the result!
In Nairobi, Kenya, on the first day of this year's True Spirit of Christmas tour, host Kris Allen met John Mucheru, founder of Zakale Creations.
John has founded a business that gives at-risk youth a chance to learn job skills, earn money, and most importantly, have the opportunity to live a better life.
Watch this video to see how Kris spent the day with John and some of the people whose lives have been impacted by Zakale Creations.
"Welp, we're in Nairobi now, and I am stoked about it." -Kris Allen
Kris and the World Vision team are on the ground in Narobi, Kenya. In today's video update, Kris shares what he is thinking and feeling so far, and what you can expect from the True Spirit of Christmas tour in the coming weeks.
"Who's that girl?" I wondered while watching Carter's Chord, a sister band who recently traveled to the Dominican Republic to create a video of their song, "Love a Little Bigger."
I love the song and its message: how blessed we are and how a luxury, like drinking a $4 cup of coffee, can make us feel guilty, especially when we are confronted by pictures of the poor.
Being from Seattle, the coffee center of the universe, I can relate.
The video is beautiful. The Carter's Chord sisters are lovely. Their voices are wonderful. The Dominican Republic is an astonishing country, dripping with tropical delight.
But the prettiest thing in the video is its little star -- a girl whose life they captured from her early-morning routine, waking up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes, through the moment where she seemed to take flight -- dancing with the Carter's Chord sisters as they sang.
You voted to have Kirsten milk Chooti the cow... and so today, she did! And it went a little something like this....
* * *
"Our journey began…"
This is how the DD Karunaratne, the father, described the impact of Chooti the cow on his family. When they received the cow, their journey began.
For the first time, they did not worry about their future. They had money to focus on health and education, and they had nutritious milk for their children. As he and his wife, Irangani, spoke with me, it was almost like the cow brought with her an entirely new life for the family.
DD Karunaratne is frequently ill. Before World Vision assisted them, they could not afford visits to the doctor, and so Irangani had to work because her husband couldn't. The work available in their region is intense day labor, for which women are not first chosen.
Not only was it hard for a woman to find a job, but it was hard work and long hours. Despite her work, money was scarce.
I want to introduce you to Lizeth. She latched onto my Flip camera at the Special Needs Center where she is a student.
[caption id="attachment_7055" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="The confetti in my hair is a blessing from the mothers of the Special Needs Center. ©2011 Amy Conner for World Vision"][/caption]
Lizeth is just like my kids — figured out the camera's buttons in about half a second. For the next half hour, she ran around recording everyone she could find, her bubbly laugh echoing around the center.
Ever wondered whether or not the child in the photo you received in your sponsorship welcome packet is really a real child? No need to be curious anymore, we've got proof!
Yesterday was one of the sweetest days I've ever experienced. Our first day in a World Vision area development program (ADP), we knew we would be exposed to so much of the work World Vision is doing there. And at the top of that list? Meeting sponsored children.
More posts from Elizabeth, Matthew, Deb, Nish, and I on "meeting our sponsored children" soon... And don't miss our vlog from Erika and Andrea at the bottom of this post!

My morning started at 3:50 am, that's the time my first alarm went off. Three alarms later, I rushed to get up, panicking, thinking I was already late for my first flight. I quickly showered, finished throwing in last minute items into the suitcase, grabbed a bottle of water, then I was out the door.
By 6:30 am, I was through the long, dreaded security line, took my trek to the gate, and boarded my first of two flights for the day -- this one at Sea-Tac airport, the next in about four more hours at Dallas Fort Worth international airport.
Dallas welcomed me with 92 degree heat. I was certainly not in Seattle anymore. And Miami must have known I was coming, too, because it's still 90 degrees outside here, even at 7:45 in the evening. Now I'm just waiting for Ms. Elizabeth Esther and Ms. Nish Weiseth to arrive in the next hour or two. We lucky west coasters are staying the night here before everyone else arrives in the morning.
"I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way." The words from this 80s pop song by Whitney Houston have been looping through my mind for the past five days. I've spent the past week looking through the viewfinder of my camera and seeing the faces of teenagers staring back at me -- their eyes shining with hope and their mouths speaking words that will ignite change in their communities.
World Vision's Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) concluded their fifth annual summit last Friday in Washington, D.C. As the summit's videographer, I witnessed teens from all over the country speak of their diverse struggles, unique cultural challenges, and the problems they face in bringing transformation to their neighborhoods. Over and over, as I shot their stories and experiences, I saw youth voices come together with a message so great that everyone is compelled to listen.
The number of people affected by devastating drought and hunger in East Africa, also known as the Horn of Africa, has catapulted from 7 million in March to nearly 13 million now. Vulnerable children and families are subject to extreme and potentially deadly malnutrition as livestock perish, vital crops are destroyed, and diseases increase.
Informed by these disturbing statistics -- as well as reports from our field offices, international media, partner agencies, and the World Vision international partnership emergency response team -- we've compiled the following information, which answers the who, what, when, where, and why of the drought and food crisis in East Africa. Expect more posts to come concerning this crisis.
WHO is affected?
An estimated 13 million people in East Africa -- 2.7 million of whom live in World Vision's areas of operation.
You can almost feel the excitement in Juba from half a world way here in our office in the United States. As I talk to our staff from South Sudan's capital city nearly every day, I hear it in their voice and the stories they tell me. The city is on edge, eager for tomorrow's independence ceremony, colorful banners hang in the streets and people wear t-shirts emblazoned with the new country's flag. As the world watches and waits, I'll be watching and waiting too, praying for a safe transition and peace for the children of South Sudan.
South Sudan will become the world's newest country tomorrow, July 9. As the South Sudanese prepare for their grand celebration, children are voicing their hopes for the future -- that problems of the past can be put behind them.
"I would like to see a good education system in South Sudan after the independence to enable me and other children on the streets to continue with education," said James, a young boy who lives on the streets in Warrap.
Maybe running's not your thing. So marathons wouldn't really be your thing. Five kilometers or 42.195 kilometers -- definitely not your thing.
Maybe your thing is music, or sporting events, or enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Pacific Northwest. Now that sounds a lot more like the Seattle Rock 'n' Roll Marathon.
That's because this marathon isn't really your average running venture. Local bands play live music, and cheer squads line the roads every mile. Lake Washington neighbors come out of their homes to join the "crowd" en route from Tukwila, Washington, to downtown Seattle. It's a "running [and I would add, outdoor entertainment] nirvana," as the marathon Facebook page says.
Two weeks before Christmas, I was sitting on a small wooden bench, filming an interview with a brother and sister. They had been left to take care of their family after their parents died. World Vision had sent staff members to their home to check on them regularly and to care for the family's needs.
After sharing their story, the sister looked at us and said, "If someone loses a parent, they are still human beings. We should help them with their needs."
Our small team of three tried to hold back our tears as the brother and sister broke down in front of the camera.
Editor's note: June is National Hunger Awareness Month. This weekend, more than 8,000 students across the country will participate in World Vision's 30 Hour Famine. They'll experience hunger firsthand, while raising funds to care for children who face this stark reality every day -- going to bed hungry.
In the past half-decade, global food prices have reached historic highs. The grocery store -- and restaurants, when we can afford them -- account for greater portions of our paychecks. Eating in or eating out costs more now than it did even seven or eight years ago.
But where increasing food prices are merely a source of frustration for Americans, they can be devastating to people who live in poverty in other parts of the world.
In places like sub-Saharan Africa, where staple foods like grains account for nearly half of all calories consumed, rising food prices can cripple families and communities. The price of maize increased by 80 percent in just two years. Wheat prices shot up 70 percent, while the cost of rice increased by 25 percent.
Editor's note: Here are a few of the latest photos from World Vision communicator Laura Reinhardt, in the American Southeast following the deadly tornadoes on April 27 that left survivors across the region without homes.

[caption id="attachment_4882" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Isaiah's mother, Veronica May, worries about the emotional effects of the tornado on all three of her children.

Editor's note: In lieu of World Malaria Day (Monday, April 25th), the following post was written for us by our friends at RELEVANT Magazine.
Recently, the RELEVANT staff became aware of a problem.
If you watch the news (who does that anymore?), or follow the news feed on Facebook or check in online with the media outlet of your choice, you know the world is in trouble. Our world's issues have created issues that have created more issues that could lead one to believe the world, in its current state, is not right. How does one respond when the world seems to be on fire?
Apathy is our worldview
Some have chosen to bury their heads in the sand and pretend this "world on fire" doesn't affect their everyday life. They've embraced apathy as a worldview—it informs the way they spend their time, money and conversation. Others have chosen to respond by passionately standing up for a cause they feel called to. But how do you go about choosing what evil to war against when there is so much evil in the world?
The problem that caught our attention was the very problem we thought had gone away. Several decades ago our U.S. government decided to wage a war against the threat of malaria. Along with relocating people away from river beds and dangerous bodies of water that hosted deadly mosquitoes, we launched an all-out chemical assault on malaria with DDT. We attacked the disease at its origin. Since the threat has now been all but eliminated in the U.S., most of us have seen malaria as that virus you might get on a mission trip that, at its worst, is similar to a common cold and a few trips to the bathroom.
Truth be told, malaria isn't on our radar anymore because it's no longer a deadly threat to our culture. We've moved on to "bigger" problems—economic development, child mortality, education, health care, ending poverty, fighting global AIDS, etc. But the fact is, if you care about any of these issues, you have to solve the problem of malaria first
The numbers don't lie
Nearly 1 million people die every year due to diseases that were caused by malaria—85 percent of them are children under the age of 5. If you care about solving other issues in the world, you have to pay attention to the fact that 30 percent of all school absenteeism on the entire continent of Africa is the result of malaria. It slows the economic and educational development of countries around the world by perpetuating the cycle of poverty and becomes exponentially more deadly when accompanied by AIDS and malnutrition.
How have we lived on this planet without knowing? Ignorance is killing more people right now than all the great wars described in our history books.
Editor's note: Lorraine Pierce, widow of World Vision founder Dr. Bob Pierce, died on April 4, 2011, after a brief illness. Mrs. Pierce was 94. It was by the vision and calling of Lorraine's late husband that World Vision was founded in 1950. Today, Dr. and Mrs. Pierce's vision and dream to help those around the world lives on.
It is a time of mourning and also of celebration as the World Vision family honors the life of Lorraine Pierce, the spiritual 'birth mother' of World Vision, as many would say. I echo the words of our president, Rich Stearns, "The choruses in heaven must be especially sweet as this great saint is welcomed home."
[caption id="attachment_3556" align="alignright" width="243" caption="Jane Sutton-Redner with Lorraine Pierce. (Greg Schneider/WV/2004)"][/caption]
As I spent time this morning remembering the life of Lorraine Pierce, I recalled her gift to serve, her elegance, her wisdom and her godliness. These quotes, taken from interviews with Mrs. Pierce from 2000-2006, will forever remind me of her legacy of faithfulness.
On adjusting to a life of ministry with Bob Pierce:
"I never thought I would marry an evangelist. I don't think that my husband expected to be an evangelist. We were going to have a church, and that seemed all right to me. But it didn't turn out that way. When I realized that it was going to be evangelism, that we were going to have to be on the road, and it was a life that was absolutely opposed to what I expected for myself, then there had to be a change in me. It was not going to be in my husband. It had to be in me. And I knew it was worthwhile, and I knew it was necessary, but I was very, very fearful that I was in no way ready to do this job and this work along with him. So I knew well enough that it was necessary to die to self."
On the early years of World Vision:
"God has given us through the years a daring that was there in the beginning. I think he gave to my husband a great portion of daring to trust God when there seemed to be no way, knowing that if he stepped out upon an empty void, he would certainly find a rock beneath his feet—and he did."

Violence is not necessary since we have already
re-inhabited the Republic under the authority of our de jure Constitution c.1791 - 1860.
Through state Republic and County Constitution Settlements, we have been claiming jurisdiction by jurisdiction under Constitutional rule of law based on the spirit of the Declaration of Independence.
Our Federal District courts are being organized state Republic by state Republic. Our first victory last week by the Arizona Republic Federal District court saved a family from unlawful eviction from their home. Their Grand Jury deemed there was no lawful lien by the bank. A Writ was issued by the state Republic Chief Justice to the Sheriff. The Sheriff honored the writ and pledged protection of the family against the de facto corporation.
It is through the signing of the Declaration of Independence 1776, Declaration of Sovereign Rights held by Indigenous Power, and a Jural Covenant with the Republic of the united States of America that you become free from the corporate impostors.
'Of the people, by the people, and for the people'.
Warning: If you intend violence toward the de facto or any of its members, please do not apply as you will not be welcomed.

In an appeal to both underground activists as well as members of the mainstream Naga society, Maharastra Governor S C Jamir has asked all sections to realise that they were one and stood for peace.
"I am appealing to both politicians and undergrounds (activists) to realise that Nagas are one and want peace. The younger generation wants to progress without any hindrance," Mr. Jamir said while addressing the National Rock contest event near here on Sunday evening as the chief guest.
The former Nagaland chief minister called upon political leaders, members of underground organisations as well as civil societies and NGOs, to work in unison to bequeath the present generation "a legacy of peace, harmony" for making a prosperous society.
Emphasising that the Nagas must come together with peace commitment on their lips, Mr. Jamir observed "only in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere the younger generation could get the opportunity to be exposed to the competitive world and develop their skill."
The national level rock contest, where the grand finale will be held this evening, is part of the week-long Hornbill festival which will end today.
Mr. Jamir, who initiated the festival as a tourism promotional activity when he was at the helm, appreciated present Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio for developing infrastructure at Kisama Heritage Village, 10 km south of Kohima.
He also appreciated Rio's efforts in adding international flavour to the annual event where an estimated 500 foreign tourists turned up.
Besides all the North-Eastern states, the festival this year witnessed participation of cultural troupes from Japan, South Korea, Thailand and Myanmar and diplomats from European countries.

Re: welding and welder options
I've carried oxy/ acet tanks on board for years while cruising the north coast. Never had any problems. Just pack out side to use. Most docks supplying 30 amps will likely have both sides of 220 volts .With the designated plug in harness you'd have big volts for real welding.I think many suitcase types are dual voltage any way Most marinas are not insured for this kind of stuff and would be in your face pronto..For regular ac stick welding Brent advocates a jimmied auto alt run off the boats engine. Work well for him.Ask him.

I too have read and learned of these same stories of families having a wonderful time as a liveaboard. That and the fact that I have already spent much of my life on or below the ocean is why I want to do this. I don't want my kids growing up thinking a 5 bedroom house and luxury cars are the norm. I have lived all over the world and in some crazy places and I know this is not the reality I want them to believe in.

Before that, I never realized you could do that (live on a boat) in the first place. I've read several blogs about living at sea with kids - apparently they do survive the parents insanities to go on and sail themselves
I would suggest you consider some extended cruises once you get to know your boat better - one of the finer points of living on a sailboat is the fact that you can move to other places whenever you feel like it
I can't imagine the kids complaining about a summer vacation in Hawaii or the Bahamas
As St Anna said, it's YOUR life, as well it's YOUR responsibility as to how you raise your children - not the place of others to tell you how to raise them! I think it would be wonderful of you to give your kids the opportunity to learn about boats and the places they can take you - and how would it be more dangerous to live in than the concrete jungle anyways?
best wishes for your future - and your kids

VOYAMetcalf offers teens a practical approach to applying the insights of Buddhism to their everyday lives in this down-to-earth guide. The guide works because the author treats both teens and Buddhism with respect. Metcalf views adolescence as a unique and important time in which teens face real spiritual dilemmas and opportunities. He does not dumb down the subject for teens, but applies Buddhist teaching to real-life teen concerns including family conflicts, friendships, grades, peer pressure, body image, dating, and sex. And what does Buddhism teach teens about sex? According to Metcalf, it is simple, which he stresses is not the same as easy: Do not have sex that causes harm to you or others, and if one does choose to have sex, use a condom. The advice is illustrated with quotes from teens who have applied Buddhism to their own lives. Refreshingly, the author does not attempt to convert readers to Buddhism. Rather, he urges them to use the helpful wisdom of Buddhist teachings regardless of the religion with which they identify. Metcalf's tone is conversational and straightforward. His concise introduction to the life of the Buddha and the basics of Buddhist teachings is appropriate for newcomers as well as for teens who have some familiarity with the practice. Because Metcalf concentrates on the here and now, however, those looking for a more philosophical discussion of Buddhist ideas on topics such as reincarnation or the afterlife might be disappointed. The goal here is to show readers how they can put Buddhism to work in their own lives, and the author explains how teens can use different types of Buddhist meditation techniques. The book closes with a list of books and Web sites formore information.

Special Correspondent
They will be established with the help of Singapore Government
They will be on the lines of the park in BangaloreChief Minister meets delegations from Singapore, Kuwait
BANGALORE: To meet the growing demand for building space by the information technology companies, both domestic and foreign, in Bangalore, the Government has decided to set up three more international technology parks in the State, with the participation of Singapore Government.
Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said the parks would be established in Mangalore, Mysore and Belgaum on the lines of International Tech Park Limited, Bangalore (ITPB). The ITPB houses over a 100 information technology (IT) and business process outsourcing (BPO) firms.
The ITPB is the icon of country's IT success story, and continues its contribution to the development of Whitefield as a major IT hub in India's Silicon Valley. Located 18 km from the city centre, ITPB catalysed the growth of a burgeoning suburban city at Whitefield. It was developed by a three-way joint venture comprising a Singapore-based consortium, the Tata Group and the State Government.
The Chief Minister met delegations from Singapore, Kuwait and South Korea at today's Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) summit here and appealed to them to invest in infrastructure, oil exploration and fertilizer projects in the State.
Mr. Kumaraswamy said the Government had decided to promote IT in second tier cities and hence Mangalore, Mysore and Belguam had been identified for establishing the technology parks. The Government had requested the Singapore Government and business leaders there to invest in these parks. Companies at these parks would be assured of reliable solutions and services to support their operations round-the-clock, he said.
The IT industry was facing space constraint as land was not available to set up companies in the city limits. Further, building rent had increased in the recent years following the real estate boom.
Mr. Kumaraswamy said the Kuwait delegation had shown interest in oil exploration in the coastal parts of the State. The South Korean delegation was keen on investing in fertilizer and steel industry. He said airports in second tier cities would be upgraded on public private partnership with active participation of the Singapore business leaders. The Singapore Government would soon open a consulate in Bangalore, he said.
To promote trade ties between Karnataka and South Korea, the latter had requested the Government to send a delegation to Seoul, the Chief Minister said.

Hello ahs anyone purchases Cowboy Bebop Remix? It features 5.1 audio and has been digitally remastered just like Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinium Edition. I can't believe how good the graphics are now.
Do you think it is worth the extra money?
I have the original and the remix editions and I believe that the Remix edition should be picked up by fans.

Illini Stumble at Illinois State, 157-143
Nov. 10, 2012
NORMAL, Ill. - The Fighting Illini swimming and diving team (1-2) fell to Illinois State (1-1), 157-143, at Horton Pool on Friday night. The Illini won eight out of 16 events while breaking three Horton Pool records.
"Illinois State did all of the little things right tonight and raced with conviction," Illini head coach Sue Novitsky said. "Overall, I thought we were pretty sloppy in our execution. We let them take control and could never get over the hump. I purposely put up a line-up that was going to have tight races because for us to grow as a team, we need to handle the pressure when we may not be at our best. Our younger swimmers need to learn from this experience and work on making the changes to stay calm and focused."
The Illini were led by sophomore Alison Meng, who broke pool records in the 50 back (26.90) and 100 back (56.80), and senior Kathleen Knight, who broke a pool record in the 100 fly (57.05). Other individual first-place finishers for the Orange and Blue were sophomore Megan Marchuk in the 200 free (1:54.61), junior Erica Lynn in the 100 breast (1:06.18) and 200 IM (2:09.72), freshmen Sarah Sykstus in the 200 fly (2:06.06) and Sloane McDermott in the 200 back (2:06.00). The team of Meng, Erica Lynn, Sykstus and Marchuk also captured a first-place finish in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:48.06.
Earning second-place finishes for the Illini were junior Alyssa Toland in the 1000 free (10:36.00), freshman Lori Lynn in the 200 fly (2:06.98), Sykstus in the 100 free (53.41) and junior Jessica Holz in the 200 back (2:06.33). The 200 free relay team of Marchuk, Meng, Lori Lynn and Sykstus also earned a second-place finish.
Four Illini swimmers captured third-place finishes including sophomore Kayla Dlugopolski in the 1000 free (10:41.42), junior Cara Chuang in the 100 back (59.73), sophomore Alexa Chavez in the 200 back (2:09.62) and Alyssa Toland in the 500 free (5:09.38).
The Orange and Blue secured seven fourth-place finishes, including Sloane McDermott in the 100 back (1:00.02), junior Emma Williams in the 200 fly (2:10.17), sophomore Sabrinne Gibson in the 50 free (25.56), freshman Isabella Schamber in the 200 breast (2:27.32), Lori Lynn in the 500 free (5:09.48), junior Emily Wilkinson in the 100 fly (59.00) and freshman Stephanie Hein in the 200 IM (2:11.65).
Capturing fifth-place finishes for the Illini were Anne Goering in the 100 free (53.93) and 200 free (1:59.04), Schamber in the 100 breast (1:07.92), Kirsten Zborek in the 50 free (25.78), Hein in the 200 breast (2:28.90), Kayla Dlugopolski in the 500 free (5:15.37), Marin Thompson in the 100 fly (59.79) and Williams in the 200 IM (2:13.15).
"The crucial point was right at the middle of the meet, when the momentum changed and we never recovered," Novitsky said. "We had people that did step up and compete well. However, as a complete team, we did not get it done. We have to really work on cleaning things up this week with a lot of racing coming up at the TYR Invitational at Northwestern."
On the boards, senior Darragh McDermott had two second-place finishes in both the one-meter dive (254.09) and three-meter dive (224.55). Sophomore Erika Murphy placed fourth in the one-meter dive (226.41) and fifth in the three-meter dive (212.61). Sophomore Emily Fung earned points with her fourth-place finish in the three-meter dive (215.62).
Up next, the Illini will travel to Northwestern on Friday, Nov. 16 for the TYR Invitational. The Orange and Blue finished second in the invitational last season.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great mouse pad,
Raffi (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Razer Kabuto Mobile Mouse Mat (Black) (Personal Computers)
Whether you're a laptop on-the-go type gamer or just one that is looking for a nice mouse pad for their desktop, this one will do the trick.
There are only a few things to really note here...
1. The mat is extremely thin, but the fabric is soft. Meaning, if you're the kind of gamer who wants your mouse to slide across the mat at breakneck speeds, you'll probably be better off with a harder (and alas, less portable) mat.
Don't get me wrong. Your mouse will glide across this thing really smoothly, but it all comes down to personal preference. I personally don't mind that this pad has a touch more drag than a more rigid one would have.
2. Razer suggests you can use this as a screen protector. Personally, I would not recommend this for a number of reasons, including that the pad is almost certainly not the same size as your screen and so it would probably leave awkward outline marks on your screen.
Aside from that, your laptop is probably designed to have the least amount of available space between the screen and the keyboard when closed shut, so putting something in-between the two may have some unintended consequences in the long run. Up to you, though.
3. The pad rolls up really nicely and I actually kept the original packaging to toss it in when I'm not using it. This keeps it clean too, since this pad is likely going to be a dust magnet if you use it in a dust prone environment. I just play my games and put it away, but that's just me.
If you have a Razer Orochi and want a mouse pad to go with it, this one is perfectly designed for it. If you have any other mouse and want a pad that isn't going to take up half your desk space and isn't super rigid yet doesn't have an inch of padding, then this is a great buy.
5.0 out of 5 stars This Mat is fantastic for frequently moving laptop users!,
Ce commentaire est de: Razer Kabuto Mobile Mouse Mat (Black) (Personal Computers)
This is mat is fantastic for laptop users.
If you want to have a good quality Mouse Mat when you are using laptop outside, get it!
I used to have a blank paper to use it as my mouse pad, but it was slippery on any desk and...looked very cheap.
So I decided to look for a slim, mobile friendly mouse mat and found this Razer Kabuto Mouse Mat.
It fits inside your laptop, so you don't have to worry carrying this around. So convenient!
This mat will grab onto the surface so good, thanks to the textured and rubberized mat.
The actual surface feels very smooth and I've been using it for few month and it did not get dirty at all!
Very good build quality!
5.0 out of 5 stars Fortunately, after a few weeks of use,
Ce commentaire est de: Razer Kabuto Mobile Mouse Mat (Black) (Personal Computers)
Very thin and portable. At first when I opened it up, I thought that because it was so thin that it would move around a lot. Fortunately, after a few weeks of use, I discovered that this was not the case at all
5.0 out of 5 stars not bad,

Is this a "photoshopfish" :-) The mouth/ eye relationship as well as the tail area say sea run trout but the very few spots at the body as well as at the gills say salmon.

But again Martin, well done. I'll have to make some more hours on the coast for such a fish of a lifetime.

"I sort of took some poetic license," she said.
Parks and her husband, Robert, were invited to a reception at the White House Dec. 2. There, the couple were among those welcomed by First Lady Laura Bush, who briefly addressed the attendees before they were allowed to walk through portions of the presidential home and socialize.
"We were in there for two-and-a-half hours," said Parks. "It wasn't like, 'Okay, take a look at this and then on to the next thing.' It was very relaxed and they seemed just delighted to have us there."
While Parks' ornament could have become lost in a sea of ornaments that adorned the 20-foot tall tree - which, incidentally, touched the ceiling of the White House's Blue Room, she said - she was pleased with its placement.
"There were some that were way up there, but mine was right at eye level so you could read it, which was perfect," she said.
The Parkses were able to spend some time sightseeing while in Washington, visiting places such as the Botanical Gardens, the Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the U.S. Capitol Building. The city was abuzz with anticipation for January's presidential inauguration of Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, she said.
"We were told they're expecting 4 million people," she said. "All the hotels are doing major renovations. They just don't know how they're going to handle all the people."
The overall experience is one Parks said was the chance of a lifetime and was even more special because she went as a representative of the North Country.
"I was really honored to go," said Parks. "It's something we'll never forget."

British sports car start-up Elemental Cars unveils RP1 lightweight racer
By Stu Robarts
June 23, 2014
Having teased the the RP1 recently, Elemental has now taken the covers off its debut car. In addition to a host of images showing an open-topped broad-shouldered racer, Elemental has also provided more details. The RP1 is highly tuneable and lightweight, with a road-hugging profile and aerodynamics.
Gizmag featured the RP1 when it was announced, with a handful of photos that hinted at what was in store. The new images show the car's two-seater cockpit, muscular look and tapered curves. In designing the RP1, one of Elemental's aims was to ensure it was easily configurable.
"One of the core guiding principles behind the RP1, was to enable someone to drive across country to their track of choice, quickly adjust the vehicle dynamics to their requirements, drive to their limit, unencumbered by a road-going set-up and then adjust everything easily back for the drive home," the firm says in a press release.
Accordingly, the chassis has been designed to provide ease of access to the car's innards, and Elemental says that its possible for "one person [to] make any adjustment they need, without assistance, with just a couple of spanners and an Allen key."
Elemental says its production development vehicle is powered by a Ford 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that kicks out 280 bhp. The company believes the RP1 will hit a top speed of over 155 mph (250 km/h), but says it has yet to confirm that in practice. The engine is longitudinally mounted and paired with a paddle-shifting Hewland 6-speed sequential gearbox.
The car's dash-panel wraps around the driver and passenger. As well as the engine start button and a multi-function dash display, a variety of custom dash options are available, including G-load sensors, data logging and a means of monitoring powertrain variables. The car has halogen projector headlights, while the indicators, brakes, tail lights and daytime running lamps are all LEDs.
Elemental has also announced that it intends to build a limited number of GT-Cup-spec versions of the RP1, in time for the 2015 racing season. With a length of 3,740 mm (147 in) and a width of 1,775 mm (70 in), the RP1 GT is not small. It has a wheelbase of 2,525 mm (99 in) and Pro Race wheels with Yokohama tires.
The car features subframe-mounted, long arm, double wishbone suspension with Eibach springs on Nitron dampers at both the front and rear. Braking is provided by way of Caparo AP four pot calipers on 280 mm (11 in) vented floating discs.
The Elemental RP1 will be revealed to the public for the first time at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend.

Who on earth is going to buy a "road going" car that necessitates wearing goggles and/or a helmet just to keep from being blinded within the first five minutes?Keith Reeder
I think that is really neat. One would not have to have it transported to the track, just drive it there.BigGoofyGuy
@ Keith Reeder
Why do you see wearing eye protection such a burden?Slowburn
I'm with B.W.G. - My little white-haired mother HATES helmets or goggles, won't ride pillion for that reason. She says God enabled people to invent windscreens so we should use them. Seriously though, would a fold-down panel holding screen and wipers be so impossible? It would assist a lot in day-to-day use.The Skud
P.S. - I suggested a fold-down panel, but studying the pix again, why not an easy remove panel that would store in the pits till needed for the drive home? Plug-unplug electrical connections are simple.The Skud
With a full helmet, people might think you are The Stig (from Top Gear UK) going to work.BigGoofyGuy
The intro talks of "lightweight" & "aerodynamics". So I read the piece to see if any breakthrough in either was forthcoming. I wasted my time because no curb weight or drag was given. Please stop teasing me.Don Duncan
"Why do you see wearing eye protection such a burden?"
I don't see it as a burden, but I do see it as being a pointlessly unnecessary inconvenience for a road car.
On a motorbike or a track day car, needing to wear eye protection is a perfectly reasonable expectation (although I wouldn't ride a motorbike without a decent screen either), but if I'm driving a ROAD car I expect some degree of the convenience that the use of road-going cars implies: I'd be unable to pop across town to the shops for a pint of milk without risking eye injury, if for whatever reason I'd misplaced my goggles - how "convenient" is that?
The lack of a windscreen on this kind of vehicle is a pointless "style over content" cosmetic decision: it brings NO practical benefits (I don't believe for a second that there's a worthwhile aerodynamic advantage) and potentially significant disadvantages.
But - if we ARE going to buy into the aerodynamics argument - then to quote James May:
"There's no point ruthlessly minimalising a car in the name of high speed and then sticking my head, with its drag-inducing ears and non-laminar eyebrows, directly into the slipstream".

@ Keith Reeder I never had a problem keeping track of my eye protection when riding a motorcycle year round. Why do you want a screen (windshield on this side of the pond) on a bike?
Because even fool that would drive a windshieldless car without eye protection head produces less drag the the windshield would.Slowburn

From the PublisherThere are not many comprehensive books that address this common problem [adverse drug interactions] and as one of the early works, this is an excellent start. This is valuable as a desk reference for every clinician's desk and for every hospital nursing station.

So we've been suspecting for awhile that the vertical hydraulic piston on the biax might be leaking. Now that Nicholas has arrived to really start plugging away on some experiments, it became apparent that it needed fixing. Ted figured that we needed to change a gasket, which is no small feat. This week Ted and Nicholas slung a pulley system over a beam in the ceiling and carefully lifted out the cylinder.
The rock mechanics lab at Lamont-Doherty was once used by a famous experimental geologist, but then was quiet for awhile. Recently Lamont hired Heather Savage to take over the lab. She and a team of postdocs, undergrads, grads, and longtime staff engineer Ted are now rehabilitating and revamping the lab for exciting new experiments. I'm part of that team and I thought I would document the task with this blog. Enjoy!

Meet The Future of American Tennis?
Or so Bonnie Ford is telling us about Sloane Stephens over at ESPN. Easy, folks. Don't these pundits remember Melanie Oudin? Making it to the semis of a slam is a fabulous achievement but it's still only one tournament. I wouldn't crown someone the "future" until they win multiple tournaments or win a slam. I hope Sloane has much, much better people around her than Oudin and that they keep her feet planted firmly on the ground. Some people reading this post might be asking Melanie who? Exactly. Thankfully for Sloane this is happening down under as opposed to NYC. Hope she survives the fuss.
Well, it look like that atrocious headline is off the ESPN site. That's a start.
Why is anyone surprised? It's the nature of the sports media to hype the "Next Big Thing." It's the nature of sports media to tie a sappy human interest story to the straight-forward story of wins and losses.
I think we all know that the media's overnight obsession with Sloane means nothing. It doesn't make her destined for greatness.
If Sloane does go on to be a champion - great. If not, if it ends like Oudin or something else entirely, we'll roll our eyes and wait for the "Next Next Big Thing" to be touted by the media.
All these people on TT are making these dire warnings not to get to excited about Stephens, as if they're on to something that the rest of us aren't. I think we all get it. She has potential, but there's no guarantee she'll be a champion.
This is 100% correct, but there are 2 main differences. 1) Oudin's run to the USO QF was a complete surprise, whereas Stephens has long been touted the future of American tennis, and has seen her slam results get better and better and more consistent. 2) Oudin never had any weapons. Sloan is 19 and already has a lethal forehand and very solid backhand which will only improve.
I think Sloan's future is bright but you are right OP, it is only her future now. She is "replacing" Serena Williams, which means she needs to win at least 2 slams before we call her the future of anything.
Oudin= Pusher....means no future.....was mentally strong though
Sloane= Solid Basline games, Suprising net skills, and a well placed serve.
Hell no. Wait for her to bag 5-6 slams, then maybe hype her as the next big thing for American tennis.
Melanie was a darn fluke.
Sloane has some major potential on the women's tour. She is amazing.
Sloane, followed by Madison Keys. Isner will be washed up eventually. His physique has proven to be a major challenge irrespectiveo f his powerful serve.
Querrey? McHale? Baker? Forget about it.
Hey at least your "future of tennis" made it to the semis. Ours was beaten in R3 by Wodger.
Bums on seats or the rating equivilant, all about hype. i like her, I hope she makes it

Early Deficit Too Much in 3-1 Loss at UAB
Aug. 29, 2014
Birmingham, Ala. - An early three goal deficit was too much for the Tigers to overcome as they fell 3-1 at UAB in their season opener at West Campus Field on Friday evening.
"We knew UAB was a good physical, attacking team, good on set plays and crosses and unfortunately they capitalized on us pretty early in the game," Head Coach Richard Mulrooney said. "We gave up a couple of early goals and they got a third one late first half. We started the game slow and it was just too much to overcome. We dug ourselves a hole that we couldn't get out of."
"Having said that, I thought the boys responded well," Mulrooney added. Once we got our bearings, I thought the boys battled hard. Quite frankly we had shots, and I wouldn't say all of them were quality, but we hit the post."
The Blazers struck first early in Friday's match when Alex Clay assisted by Karl Chester scored for UAB in the fourth minute of play. The goal for Clay was his first of the season.
Shortly after the UAB goal, Memphis had a chance to tie the game but a chance by Raul Gonzalez hit the post.
Less than 13 minutes later, UAB pushed its lead to 2-0 when Karl Chester scored a goal assisted by Alex Clay and Lars Willemse. Chester's goal was the first of the season as well.
In the 24th minute of play Ian Svantesson, increased the lead to 3-0 for his first goal of the season, assisted by Alex Clay and Mathieu Laurent.
The Tigers trailed the Blazers 3-0 going into the half, but Memphis came out strong in the second half creating multiple chances. Facing a 3-0 deficit, Hayden Cochran scored his first career goal assisted by Fakhry Khulfan.
"It's a good feeling (to bounce back second half)," said Mulrooney. "You always want to see the response. Unfortunately we went through it with Louisville in preseason. We didn't want to go through it again, but like I said give UAB credit for capitalizing on their strengths. They got scores off a couple of crosses and a corner kick."
"Quite frankly they are a tough team to deal with, but we need to find a way to defend that," Mulrooney said. "But we responded well. Freshmen all the way to seniors, the guys battled hard. The end of the day you need more to win games, but down 3-0 their heads didn't go down, if anything it was like a stuck pig and made us more upset and the guys came out and fought harder. We were able to get one back, but it was too many on us for us to catch up."
Despite holding a 24-6 edge in shots, Memphis only put six of those shots on goal.
"We just have to stay positive," Mulrooney said. "Obviously we have some things to work on. We have things we learned tonight and we have to get better at. First game of the year, we have sixteen more, so we have things we need to correct but we have a some good things that will give teams trouble. It's a building process and the next chance to get a win is next Wednesday night against SIUE and I know that the boys will be up for it and quite frankly it can't come soon enough. We want to get this loss off our chests and we're ready to get back out there and hopefully get a result out of a good SIUE team."
The Tigers host their home opener September 3, against SIU-Edwardsville at 7 p.m. (CT).
