I am looking for an X-rite blue/green sensitometer to compare with the Wejex and the EG&G. I am starting to beleive that these relatively small battery operated, LED driven devices may have some advantages for B&W testing. The main drawbacks are that I think the exposure time is long (like a second or so, like the Wejex) but I am not shure. The on line PDF file for the 393/394 indicates that there are 7 different exposure settings but does not list the times in the specs.
I even refreshed my memory on reciprocity by looking back at the Zakia and Todd book on Sensitometry and I still think that when one is just interested in "process control" information (specifically DEVELOPMENT TIME), the duration of exposure in the sensitometer does not make much difference.

Simon Cowell really plans to name his first son after himself — at least according to an attendee of the baby shower he threw on Sunday for his baby mama, Lauren Silverman.
"It shouldn't come as a shock, but Simon and Lauren really seem to be planning to name their son Simon!" the eyewitness exclusively told RadarOnline.com.
"There were baby clothes and little games all personalized with the name 'Simon' for the baby."
According to the source, there was also a lot of chatter at the party about their son-to-be, Simon.
PHOTOS: Simon Cowell Smokes Near Pregnant Girlfriend
"From what everyone — including Lauren — was saying, they are 100 percent naming their son Simon," the insider revealed.
"Initials for baby Simon were everywhere."
Cowell, 54, put together the English tea-themed party for Silverman, 36, at his Beverly Hills mansion but didn't attend the soiree.
The baby boy is due in February and it's the first child for Cowell and Silverman.

Ha, it is just like the stock market. The more you drumbeat the Canonet, the more the lurkers will drive up the prices. If you want to depress prices, start to post compliants about them on all the forums - and watch the prices plummet.
For a couple thousand you could corner the market on used Canonets sold at discount, and then slowly build a campaign to raise the price so you can sell high. Don't laugh - business does it with billion dollar companies all the time.

So much of modern motherhood is targeted at looking good even when you feel crap and making your baby look good even though he or she won't settle or feed or stop crying, all in the shortest time frame possible. The Miranda Kerr and Heidi Klums of the world make it look easy; have a baby and get back on the runway 2 minutes later with a flat stomach, silky hair and glowing skin.
What about the mothers who get acne from pregnancy, or whose hair turns grey, or can't loose their baby belly in 10 seconds flat? This book is for them. The Birth of the Modern Mum looks at the serious issues such as Postnatal Depression (PND), relationship changes and physical changes that mothers face in their first year with a new baby while still providing light-hearted quick fixes that any mother can implement in short period of time.
In association with The Gidget Foundation, and industry support from Dr Vijay Roach and Dr John Irvine, The Birth of the Modern Mum is sure to become a household title for all new mums.

Someone sent the following screen shot to one of our internal troubleshooting aliases. They wanted to know what the "Name Not Available" slider meant.
The audio system on Vista keeps track of the apps that are playing sounds (it has to, to be able to display the information on what apps are playing sounds :)). It keeps this information around for a period of time after the application has made the sound to enable the scenario where your computer makes a weird sound and you want to find out which application made the noise.
The system only keeps track of the PID for each application, it's the responsibility of the volume mixer to convert the PID to a reasonable name (the audio service can't track this information because of session 0 isolation).
This works great, but there's one possible problem: If an application exits between the time when the application made a noise and the system times out the fact that it played the noise, then the volume mixer has no way of knowing what the name of the application that made the noise was. In that case, it uses the "Name Not Available" text to give the user some information.
Thanks Larry.
I have another puzzling problem.
Q1. My application requires mic selected as input device while program startup.But i don't know how could i tell which is which while enumerating end point devices.
Q2. Also, i have no idea how to disable capture monitoring, because i do not want to hear myself when speaking into my micphone.
It will be very nice of you to answer these questions.
Thanks larry!
I am new to vista, and now i am deadly puzzled by two questions:
my application requires mic selected as input device while program startup.But i don't know how could i tell which is which while enumerating end point devices.
And also, i have no idea how to disable capture monitoring, because
i do not want to hear myself when i am speaking into micphone.
Could you help me? Many many thanks!!!
Unfortunately, it's not easy to enable or disable capture monitoring because it's built into the hardware - there is sample code available on the MSDN web site that can get you close, but it's not trivial.
To determine if a device is a microphone, you can get the device form factor property on the endpoint, that will let you know what kind of device the audio driver thinks the device is.
I really appreciate your reply. Thanks very much!
You said "it's not easy to enable or disable capture monitoring". Does that mean disabling capture monitoring is impossible? Is this new to Vista? Can XP do so?
When i traverse a render endpoint's topology, i can find a subunit which is labeled as "Mic mute" by name, which is really what i am trying to find out, so i get the IAudioMute interface of that part and then mute it. But problem is i can not
identify the part only by its name, because it varys with OS, right? So here i want an ID or something unique, is it impossible?
" there is sample code available on the MSDN web site that can get you close". Larry, actually i searched the MSDN and still i didn't find anything that could help. Could you please give some hyperlink?
You said "To determine if a device is a microphone, you can get the device form factor property on the endpoint", i have also tried that following these steps:
1. Get IMMDevice interface of an endpoint.
2. Get IPropertyStore interface of that endpoint.
3. Get PKEY_AudioEndpoint_Association value using IPropertyStore.
Here i assume the return value from step 3 could match something like KSNODETYPE_MICROPHONE,KSNODETYPE_DESKTOP_MICROPHONE,... which are defined in ksmedia.h. But actually i got value "VT_EMPTY". why?
Later i tried getting EndpointFormFactor value of an endpoint during enumeration. This time i got an enum value "Microphone" from my mic device, but TV Tuner gave this value too. So this method doesn't work either?
Aurora: You want to use PKEY_AudioEndpoint_FormFactor (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms679150(VS.85).aspx) to retrieve the formfactor.
To find the line in volume control programatically, you should see this http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms678713(VS.85).aspx sample, which finds a MUX control on a particular endpoint. In your case, you want to look for a mute control named "mic mute".
The part name varies by driver, not by OS. And most audio solutions won't have that part anyway.
Thanks for your response!
I did use PKEY_AudioEndpoint_FormFactor, but i got two devices
that labeled themselves as "Microphone". one is Microphone and the other is TV Tuner. the latter is obviously what i don't want. So why i got two?
i have read the actical about how to find a MUX. but i don't think that helps. My problem is how to determine whether a part is "mic mute" or not. I can find all parts, but i cann't tell which is which.
Does that mean when i speak into micphone i can not prevent myself from hearing myself through speakers ?
I can do this through Vista'UI manually.
Aurora: You need to talk to the vendor for your TV tuner driver to find out why they categorized their device as a microphone. This information comes from the driver, we just report it through the API (and yes, it sucks).
I know you can do this through the UI - I'm trying to give you instructions on how to do it programatically. The UI simply walks down the paths from the endpoint to the actual output jack looking for various controls - it then puts a UI element in the dialog for each of those controls. In your case, you only want a Mute control named "Mic Mute". Unfortunately the only way to discover that the mute control is for a microphone is by matching the name - that's been the case since Windows 3.1 :(.
Thanks for your patience!
Now i've 2 questions:(.
If name-matching is the only way to find 'Mic mute', it is of no use at all, because names are what used to display to users,
and it is not safe to use names to determine a control. Names may vary on different drives and different hard devices. Simply put, it
is NOT POSSIBLE to prevent users from hearing themselves through speakers programtically. Am i right this time ?
You said "that's been the case since Windows 3.1". Doesn't this mean it is impossible to do so on XP? But i used to do this on XP using the following code(it wroks at least for my computer), but it doesn't work on vista at all(mxl.cConnections equals 1 on vista while 11 on XP).
bool DisableCaptureMonitoring(DWORD& dwLineID){
MIXERLINE mxl;
memset(&mxl, 0, sizeof(MIXERLINE));
mxl.cbStruct = sizeof(MIXERLINE);
mxl.dwComponentType = MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_SPEAKERS;
if(MMSYSERR_NOERROR != ::mixerGetLineInfo((HMIXEROBJ)m_hMixer,
&mxl, MIXER_GETLINEINFOF_COMPONENTTYPE))
return false;
dwLineID = mxl.dwLineID;
DWORD MicrophoneSourceLineIndex = 0;
MIXERLINE MicrophoneLine;
for (DWORD dwLine = 0; dwLine < mxl.cConnections; dwLine++)
memset(&MicrophoneLine, 0, sizeof(MIXERLINE));
MicrophoneLine.cbStruct = sizeof(MIXERLINE);
MicrophoneLine.dwDestination = mxl.dwDestination;
MicrophoneLine.dwSource = dwLine;
if(MMSYSERR_NOERROR == mixerGetLineInfo((HMIXEROBJ)m_hMixer,
&MicrophoneLine, MIXER_GETLINEINFOF_SOURCE))
if (MicrophoneLine.dwComponentType == MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_SRC_MICROPHONE)
MicrophoneSourceLineIndex = MicrophoneLine.dwSource;
if(mxl.cConnections <= 0 || MicrophoneSourceLineIndex == 0){
// Set checkbox state in 'Recording Control'
MIXERLINECONTROLS mlc = {0};
MIXERCONTROL mc = {0};
mlc.cbStruct = sizeof(MIXERLINECONTROLS);
mlc.dwLineID = MicrophoneLine.dwLineID;
mlc.dwControlType = MIXERCONTROL_CONTROLTYPE_MUTE;
mlc.cControls = 1;
mlc.pamxctrl = &mc;
mlc.cbmxctrl = sizeof(MIXERCONTROL);
if( MMSYSERR_NOERROR != mixerGetLineControls((HMIXEROBJ) m_hMixer,
&mlc, MIXER_GETLINECONTROLSF_ONEBYTYPE)){
return false;
MIXERCONTROLDETAILS mcd = {0};
MIXERCONTROLDETAILS_BOOLEAN mcb = {0};
mcb.fValue = true;
mcd.cbStruct = sizeof(MIXERCONTROLDETAILS);
mcd.dwControlID = mc.dwControlID;
mcd.cChannels = 1;
mcd.cMultipleItems = mc.cMultipleItems;
mcd.paDetails = &mcb;
mcd.cbDetails = sizeof(MIXERCONTROLDETAILS_BOOLEAN);
if( MMSYSERR_NOERROR != mixerSetControlDetails((HMIXEROBJ) m_hMixer,
&mcd, MIXER_SETCONTROLDETAILSF_VALUE)){
return true;
Aurora: Your code on XP is looking for a mute control on a microphone intput. You can do the same thing on Vista (actually, on Vista it's orders of magnitude easier - you activate IAudioEndpointVolume on the microphone input and call the SetMute API on the interface).
I didn't realize you were trying to mute the microphone (which doesn't work on most microphones). I thought you were trying to mute the "Microphone" input on the render device.
And on XP if you want to mute that control, you also have to match by name.
Still puzzled (like we are talking different things). May be that's because of poor english(I am not from english-speaking countries). Now i list 4 questions and it would be nice of you to give clear answers in the form of A1, A2, A3, A4. I apologize for the troubles it causes to you :).
Q1: When i say "disable capture monitoring", i mean to prevent me from hearing myself through my speakers when i talk to my microphone. Have i got the concept "capture monitoring" right?
Q2: Do you think matching-name a safe and feasible way to find a control? If so,how could i know their names, i think they are driver-dependent and different sound card may give different names too. For example, they could be labeled as "Mic mute" or "Microphone Mute" ... So if i am trying to match its names using something like strcmp( NameIWant, NameDriverGive ), what's the value of NameIWant?
Since vista has overwritten the whole audio stack, why you still make name-matching(from Windows 3.1) the only way to find a control. I think it better to pre-define an ID for every possible controls a driver could provide,and expose those IDs for programmers of vista.
Q3:You said "I didn't realize you were trying to mute the microphone (which doesn't work on most microphones). I thought you were trying to mute the "Microphone" input on the render device."
Yes, sure, i WAS trying to mute microphone(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_SRC_MICROPHONE) input on the render device(MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_DST_SPEAKERS). Shouldn't i do so if i want to disable capture monitoring ? This code works well on XP and it does what i want(At least on my computer).
Q4:I don't know why the same code doesn't work on vista. Have you broken the compatibility of mixerXXX functions, or it is just a matter of different drivers?
I just want to disable capture monitoring (hope i have got this concept right),now i feel it a mess,and i cann't even tell if i can do so or not. Vista is new to me, and i am new to vista. I hope you could help me.
Q1: when you hear yourself on the speakers, it's because your audio solution has an internal loopback tap that mixes the microphone (or line in) input with the output. This loopback tap operates outside the knowledge of the operating system.
Most current audio solutions don't include this hardware (it costs money to implement) but some legacy solutions do. I call this functionality a "capture monitor".
As I said, this is done without the audio subsystem's knowledge.
Q2: If you want to control this internal loopback tap, matching by name is your only option, both on XP and on Vista. That's because there is no way of identifying which of several volume or mute controls actually controls this loopback circuit.
Q3: There is another option to achieve your goal (which is the one that you apparently stumbled upon with your Windows XP mixer code). That is to mute the microphone. On Vista, this is trivial to implement (it's handled by theIAudioEndpointVolume interface). Most microphone's don't actually have a mute control, but for those that do, your code will work. On Vista, we synthesize a software mute for those devices that don't have a hardware mute, so the IAudioEndpointVolume API will work on all microphones.
Q4: The reason the same code doesn't work on Vista is that on Vista, we intentionally broke the compatibility of the mixerXxx functions. On XP, the mixer APIs controlled the hardware directly, on Vista they don't. When you run your application in XP compatibility mode, we allow the mixer APIs to control the hardware. The only caveat is that when you run in XP compatibility mode, you see ONLY the capabilities of the hardware.
Hey Larry why my vista vol mixer looks like this?
Sp1 does not fix this.
Carlos, beats me - there were a couple of paint problems that could have caused that, I thought they were fixed in SP1, but possibly it was after then.
Your explaination makes things clearer. Many thanks, Larry.
About my computer:I've noticed the device properties displayed by Sndvol.exe control panel.(I don't know how to post a picture here). In the record tap, i double-clicked my microphone, and in the level tap, i saw my microphone didn't have a mute control(only a volume slide bar). But in play tap, i double clicked my speaker, and in the level tap, i saw the master volume control slide bar and a mute control button as well as other controls listed below, such as PC Speaker,line in,microphone, cd player, etc, all have a volume control slide bar and a mute control button(here, the mute control button of microphone is just what i want to program to control).
Q1:You suggested to mute microphone, but i
doubt that if microphone is muted, how can i use it to capture sounds?
Q2:When i tried to call IAudioEndpointVolume::SetMute(TRUE,NULL),i got a return value S_FALSE.
MSDN says "If the method succeeds and the new muting state is the same as the previous muting state, the method returns S_FALSE. " it's confusing. If the method succeeded, why new muting state stayed unchanged?
Q3:QueryHardwareSupport() shows my microphone doesn't support contorls other than volume control. Does this mean i can not program to disable capture monitor on my machine?
Q4:I also tried to run my old code in XP compatibility mode, while it has no effect :(.
Aurora: Q2: That means that the endpoint is already muted (see the docs for the returns for that API). It lets you know that the call you made was a NOP (and, among other things, you're not going to get the notification).
Q3: No, it means you need to match against the Mic Mute control that exists in your audio topology, just like I said you had to do.

Ukraine parliament ousts pro-Yanukovych foreign minister
Published on Feb 23, 2014 7:03 PM
KIEV (REUTERS) - The Ukrainian parliament voted on Sunday to dismiss Foreign Minister Leonid Kozhara, forcing out an ally of President Viktor Yanukovych.
Kozhara has been closely involved in discussions with foreign powers over Yanukovych's decision to spurn political and trade deals with the European Union and rebuild economic ties wit Russia instead. A successor was not immediately named.
The chamber voted to oust Yanukovych on Saturday and agreed on Sunday to temporarily hand over the duties of president to the speaker of the assembly, Oleksander Turchinov.

For the Service provision, I believe I would have to serialize the message and send it over TCP/IP. A server process on the SQL server would then unserialize the message and use SQL to insert the data.
Is this a a badly contrived use of JavaMail?
What access protocol do I specify?

Comments about Goldilocks & The Three Bears:
The illustrations in this book are wonderful. The storyline is wordy, akward and sends a negative message. I feel uncomfortable reading it to my 20 month old because there are no values exhibited, no positive resolution, etc. Goldilocks is portrayed as a horrible child with no accountability and the book ends with Mama Bear back in the kitchen. BIG disappointment. :O(

Tulsa Teachers Get Raise
By KWGS News
Tulsa teachers get a pay raise. The school board and the teachers' union have come to terms on what will amount to about a $650 a year increase. While appreciative, the Classroom Teachers Association's Linda Hendrix says they are still missing a raise that was due in 2010.
The 2010/2011 increase did not happen because of the state budget cuts that hit public education.
Hendrix told board members the teacher's union would do whatever it could to help draw attention to what she called the state's "ridiculous funding crisis."

I received a good trial size of this shampoo but did not receive the matching conditioner so I had to use my own.. The shampoo it self smelt ok and was able to lather up well enough to give a good wash but since I used my own conditioner it may have lowered the effectts of the actual product.. Not sure if I would purchase the full size conditioner just for a sample..3
I am a natural red head who bleaches her hair blonde, I use a blow dry and flat iron every other day, I also back comb my hair. When washing my hair, I never have to brush out the back comb, the shampoo and conditioner wipes out any snarls or knots. Best shampoo and conditioner and worth every penny!5
The Fekkai PrX Repairatives Conditioner is a dream. I use this alongside the shampoo every day, concentrating on the ends of my hair, and since I blow dry my hair too I have to have a conditioner that really moisturizes my hair. This fits the bill! I haven't had issues with frizz and my hair stays soft all day. I love the scent too.5

The template of seven batsmen and four bowlers has been India's steady formula for chasing success and stability across all three formats of the game. And as the 'Men in Blue' warm-up for the fiery battles in the ICC World Twenty20 Super Eights, that rigid structure might well test M.S. Dhoni's thought patterns in the days ahead.
In a press-conference last week, Dhoni was specifically asked about his ideal bowling unit and he replied: "Three seamers and one spinner."
Automatic choice
That yardstick will come under strain as Harbhajan Singh's success against England and his exploits against the Australians in sub-continental conditions, makes him an automatic choice for Friday's match against George Bailey's men.
Dhoni's selection quagmire will begin with that because R. Ashwin has done no harm to his credentials when Harbhajan was away. The skipper, who is comfortable with a lone spinner and a few part-timers wheeling away, has to take a call on whether he will play both the off-spinners and enfeeble his seam attack or get adventurous and go in with a 3-2 ratio of pace and spin while dropping the seventh batsman.
After thumping England by 90 runs with a bowling combination that had the power of five though at the beginning it looked fragile, Dhoni asked: "Who do you drop to play the seventh batsman?"
Tough call
Immediately aware of the hard choice that he has to make if he has to drop a batsman, the skipper added: "The middle order has done well and the two openers can win matches on their own. It will be a difficult decision."
The captain's complexity of choices got even worse when he dealt with playing either Ashwin or Harbhajan. "I don't know who will play, frankly. But I am quite happy with the problem of plenty. The selection will depend on the wicket. If it's a fresh wicket and a hard-rolled wicket, the spinners may not be that effective. We don't really know right now what will be our first XI," he then said.
Going in with five bowlers may be an aggressive move as the part-timers – Yuvraj Singh (economy rate of 7.63 in Twenty20), Suresh Raina (9.21), Virender Sehwag (20.00), Rohit Sharma (9.42) and Virat Kohli (7.09) — cannot always be expected to contribute four overs of meagre runs and prise out the odd wicket.
At best they are the interlude for the team-management to indulge in silent prayers. If Dhoni goes in with five frontline bowlers then he has to break the bad news to one batsman and speculations revolve around Sehwag. The Harbhajan-show has indeed queered the pitch and the skipper said: "If we are playing one batsman short, he (Harbhajan) is someone who can slog down the order. It is a very good option for us."
Zaheer's poor show
Most importantly, Zaheer Khan has to reclaim his zest. India's premier bowler has often been a pale shadow in Twenty20s with 14 wickets in as many games and that too at an economy rate of nearly eight. His economy rate of 8.93 in his last five T20 Internationals is a glitch that has to be addressed fast as India will play Australia, Pakistan and South Africa in the Super Eights.
India's quest for the ideal balance also shows how critical a supreme all-rounder like Australia's Shane Watson is to a team's fortunes.

PH gets Jica grants for 2 hydro power projects
popular .
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) has provided the Philippine government grants for the construction of two mini hydropower facilities in Ifugao and Isabela.
In a statement, Jica said it had signed the grant agreements with the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda), to cover two power projects that were expected to help boost renewable energy development in the Philippines.
According to Jica, the proposed run-off river mini hydropower plant in Ifugao is expected to generate about 800 kilowatts, which will help serve about a third of the 2.4-megawatt power demand in the province.
Proceeds from the electricity sales will be used to boost the Rice Terraces Conservation Fund, a trust fund for the maintenance and rehabilitation of the Ifugao Rice Terraces. A Jica Overseas Cooperation Volunteer would be dispatched to help manage the Rice Terraces Conservation Fund.
In the meantime, the mini hydropower project in Isabela will showcase the viability of harnessing hydropower from low-head irrigation canals, which are common throughout the country. Multiple units of 22.5-kW turbines would be utilized.
Based on an earlier report, the Isabela project might have a total capacity of about 150 kW.
Takahiro Sasaki, chief representative of the Jica Philippine Office, expressed his appreciation to the Department of Energy, the National Irrigation Administration and the provincial governments of Ifugao and Isabela for working with Jica experts in the preparatory studies for both project sites.
He also expressed his confidence that all cooperating agencies would continue to work for the project and would keep the facilities in tip-top shape once these become operational.

Don't stop dreaming, other wise sleep would get awfully boring :).
Hey there! My name is Sara. I'm pretty much a jack-of-all-trades kind of girl - I'm a Paramedic and work in the ER at Waynesboro Hospital. I am a member of my local volunteer fire department and enjoy giving back to my community. Emergency medicine is my passion. I'll never make a ton of money at it but at least I'll never hate going to work. I believe if we couldn't laugh we would all go insane so every day you laugh, in my book, is a day well lived. I drive my car fast, play my music loud and generally find the silver lining in most situations. I enjoy going out or just a quiet night in with a movie. I'm a caring and compassionate person but I'm not a push over. I can be competative, be it playing darts in the bar or tic-tac-toe on a menu. I'm pretty spontaneous so just going for a drive to see where I end up is not uncommon for me to do. I love being outdoors and enjoying time with friends. I love sports (mainly baseball) and am always up for watching a game, just no games in the relationship department please. I don't play games and I lay it out straight. I am a typical farmgirl and don't have a problem taking a fish off the hook but I still like being treated like a lady. I'm independent,outgoing and sarcastic. I joke around a lot. Some of my favorite things to do are watch movies, read, listen/play music, go to the range and go fishing. I would love to go back to Europe and cross a few more countries off my list. I'm looking for a guy that has a sense of humor, is comfortable with himself and knows how to have fun. Has to be able to get his hands dirty and be able to joke around. I want someone who will meet me in the middle and be a partner and a friend, someone I can talk to about anything. Honesty and loyalty are very important to me for obvious reasons.

Here is someone who plays blackjack for relaxation, $10,000 to $20,000 a hand into the early-morning hours, once walking out of the Palazzo in Las Vegas after winning $5 million.
"They pay you right there in cash at the window, so what are you going to do, just put it under your arms and walk out?" says White, who has lost as much as $1 million in a sitting. "I walked out with $5 million in garbage bags that night. From then on we started bringing garbage bags with us to the casino."
Now that's confidence.
He says his biggest wager was $50,000, but when asked if he won or lost the hand, he says, "You're taking it like that's the only $50,000 bet I ever made."
It should be no surprise the UFC has a fighter as leader. He was a bellman in a Boston hotel before taking over the UFC, which was down for the count, but now it's in 175 countries and armed with a seven-year, $1 billion TV deal with Fox.
"There are a lot of things you might find wrong because you don't like this sport, but there's one thing you cannot argue with," White says, so you know there will be an argument. "We're all human beings and fighting is in our DNA, we like it and get it."
He's obviously spent too much time in an octagon.
"We like it?" I repeat to mock the absurdity of his claim.
"I'll tell you this, before a guy hit a ball with a stick," he says, "two men were put on this Earth, someone threw a punch and whoever was standing around ran over and watched. Whether you like it or not, my friend, that's a fact.
"You are a very small minority. Millions and millions of people now love fighting. Even tons and tons of women."
OK, so my daughter admittedly loves it, but look who she married.
I gave the sport a try, covering UFC 100 after spending time with combatants and the wife of a fighter. That wasn't ketchup spilled all over everyone.
And I don't believe I'm in the minority turning away from the choking, kicking and gore.
"You're wrong," shouts White with a huge grin while staring at my gray hair and explaining it's a sport for young people. Meanwhile, I'm staring at his bald head and wondering if that's how you avoid gray hair.
UFC fans are the youngest of any major U.S. sport, averaging 39.3 years, according to a news release I'm given. Or they act that age.

Japan scientists find ageing cure - for flowers
Published on Jul 4, 2014 1:29 PM
TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese scientists say they have found a way to slow down the ageing process in flowers by up to a half, meaning bouquets could remain fresh for much longer.
Researchers at the National Agriculture and Food Research Organisation in Tsukuba, east of Tokyo, said they had found the gene believed to be responsible for the short shelf-life of flowers in one Japanese variety of morning glory.
"Morning glory" is the popular name for a hundreds of species of flowering plants whose short-lived blooms usually unfold early in the day and are gone by nightfall.
By suppressing the gene - named "EPHEMERAL1" - the lifespan of each flower was almost doubled, said Kenichi Shibuya, one of the lead researchers in a study carried out jointly with Kagoshima University in southern Japan.

2003 BEST Hair Colorist, Corrective
Antonio Vitale, Studio for Hair
Let the Newbury Street bigwigs battle it out for the spotlight. Color virtuoso Antonio Vitale is content to sit back in his humble Kenmore Square studio and fix any of their overzealous fiascoes. Vitale discreetly repairs even the worst mistakes; his eye for natural, flattering color is invariably dead-on. Little wonder, considering that his other career is as an artist. (This summer saw his gallery show of beautiful three-dimensional landscapes). And while there's nothing abstract about his talent with hair, Vitale brings the same respect for light, color tones, and nature to both of his vocations.

If the recently held India Resort Fashion Week was anything to go by, Indian women are getting bolder with swimwear. From two-piece bikinis to monokinis and tankinis with suitable cover-ups, there was something for everyone.
Designer Sounia Gohil says women are willing to experiment much more today. "Currently, a vibrant colour palette is popular with shades like neon green and embellishments in red or coral. Digital and abstract prints with a bit of patchwork or crystals add a glamorous touch. However, dress depending on your body type," says Sounia.
Designer Nidhi Munim says strong colours are back with hints of neon and unabashed brights that work with classic ethnic prints. "It's a really nice mash-up of clashing prints, strong '80s lingerie detailing, and a great blend of early '90s glamour to sugary '50s-inspired shapes. Indian women are working harder to get a bikini bod too," she says. "Swimsuit covers are huge for 2013. They include ponchos, kimonos, kaftans, flowing skirts, tunics with slits, and cropped jackets. These look lovely added to one-piece designs and are also sexy in their simplicity," adds the designer.
Experimentation in terms of fabrics include those that are UV resistant, anti-bacterial and even have a cooling effect on the skin. Mesh is super hot right now, lycra for swimsuits and soft chiffon and malmal for cover ups. Tankinis with short bottoms are a must-have says designer Gogee. She feels one-pieces have got more defined cuts this season and layered swimwear is in demand.
"Sarongs have been around for too long, opt for beach shrugs that come up over the swimwear making you look sexy and stylish. We've used lots of chiffons in our line," she says.

We laugh about it all the time, my friends and I. We are just "saps" for our cats and not ashamed at all to admit it. We provide a cat scratching post for them as well as litter cabinets and a cat condo where they can snuggle in and take a snooze and dream about chasing mice. Cats love privacy most of the time, except when it's time to get some petting and scritching. How do you pamper your fur-friends?

For the past five years dirt groms around the world have been inundated with a seemingly endless supply of phenomenal bikes. It seems the rich get richer as four-stroke technology has made riding easier, with less maintenance, and power curves that could send Grandma Korfhage up the most intimidating hill climbs.
So it should come as no surprise that I found myself shaking my head repeatedly during Honda's press introduction for the highly anticipated new tour de force, the CRF450X. Riding through the scenic hills of El Cajon, CA on the X was like touring a dirty, filthy amusement park (I mean that in a good way). Like we really needed a better version of Honda's wildly successful CRF450R? Well, it appears so.
Honda, ever the purveyors of all things perfectly engineered, set out to construct a machine based on the high-po 450cc engine. Luckily for us, they not only achieved their goal, but are possibly redefining what is expected from an off-road motorcycle.
First things first, this isn't a CRF450R with a headlight and electric start. No, that would have been the easy way to do things. Throw a flywheel weight on, add some illumination, and an old-timer-friendly starting device and sell it for a few grand more. However, those familiar with the ways of Honda understand that's not how they do things, something Honda wanted to make very clear.
The long-awaited 450X is as flawless as its racing cousin, the 450R.
"At Honda, commonplace solutions never override the quest for excellence," states CRF450X introductory literature. "And because off-road competition differs drastically from closed-course motocross racing in myriad ways, machines for each purpose really should be developed autonomously to satisfy their decidedly differing parameters. All of which explains why virtually every single component on Honda's stellar CRF450R motocrosser has been changed to meet the unique demands placed on the CRF450X off-road machine."
That, my friends, is Honda's design philosophy in a nutshell. After a day-long ride on the X, we can tell you that they not only achieved their goal of creating a bike designed for off-road racing, but made the power of the 450 engine more accessible to those that thought the CRF450R was hell on wheels.
When Honda states that virtually everything is different, they mean it. Of course that means that they redesigned an already sick chassis and tuned it specifically for off-road use. The X features an all-new fourth-generation twin-spar aluminum frame with a forged aluminum steering head and tapered downtube that are designed to optimize frame rigidity.
One of the knocks on older generation aluminum frames was their extreme rigidity. Everybody likes a strong chassis, but the twin-spar frame could be so rigid it didn't handle as well as a steel frames in certain situations. Honda improved on what many feel is an outstanding chassis with their fourth generation frame and the results are spectacular.
On the bike, the new chassis feels as though it is tuned specifically with off-road racing ergonomics in mind. The riding position allows for comfort and control in both the standing and sitting positions.
The use of titanium intake valves allowed for the use of smaller valve spring, ultimately reducing over engine height. What's that mean to you? A lower center of gravity, which makes tight turns a breeze.
Out back, Honda redesigned the swingarm and it now features a dual-axis, double-taper design with a larger cast aluminum cross-member. Not that we ever felt the CRF450R's swingarm was weak, but apparently Honda felt the need to strengthen it for off-road riding. Apparently, they've been watching us test.
Nestled down in the twin-spar frame is a version of Honda's popular 449cc liquid-cooled four-stroke engine. Like the R version, the 450X employs Honda's Unicam system to actuate its four valves. Instead of using a cam each for the pairs of intake and exhaust valves, the single caburized cam actuates both the two 35mm titanium intake valves and 30mm steel exhaust valves via forked, low-friction roller-rocker arms.
The use of lightweight titanium intake valves allowed Honda engineers to utilize smaller valve springs, reducing overall engine height. This aids in reducing the bike's center of gravity, helping make tight turns a breeze.
Inside the Nikasil-lined cylinder slides a forged short-skirt slipper-type piston that squeezes off a 12.0:1 compression ratio. This lighter piston design reduces weight compared to a conventional design, allowing quicker revs and high rpm.
On the trail, all the technical jargon equates to a remarkably easy-riding big-bore Thumper. Getting on the gas elicits a powerful response, certainly more than enough to satisfy the most hardcore and power-hungry riders. Yet, thanks to the wide-ratio off-road gearing of the 5-speed transmission and some additional flywheel weight, the power sent to the 18-inch rear wheel is manageable even for those of us that don't pretend to ride like Johnny Campbell.
The 450X is a bit more tame off the bottom, but open her up and the high-po 450 comes to life.
A twist of the wrist in the low-rpm range gets the X moving, but it's more manageable than the R version. Still, the X revs to the moon with the kind of power that is familiar to so many 450R fans, pushing the rider and bike to break-neck speeds with its roaring top-end power.
Throttle response is spot on and nary a hiccup exists throughout the powerband thanks in part to the X's throttle position sensor (TPS), which maintains linear throttle response throughout the rpm range by selecting fuel mapping in relation to how far the throttle is twisted open. The fuel/air mixture is fed to the single cylinder via a 40mm Keihin FCR-type carburetor which features four rollers on its flat-side for smooth operation.
Keeping the powertrain cool under the most distressful situations are a pair of radiators that feature a refined core area for improved heat dissipation. The coolant recovery tank is located in the front of the engine between the frame down-tubes for a reduced center of gravity, and it's protected by a plastic skidplate.
Suspending Honda's newest off-road model is a lightweight, 47mm inverted Showa twin-chamber cartridge fork with aluminum dampers, virtually the same ones found on the CRF450R. However its settings have been changed and optimized for plusher response in off-road use as opposed to the big hits of the MX track. The fork offers up 12.4 inches of travel and 16-position rebound- and compression-damping adjustability.
Out back the X features Honda's impressive off-road Pro-Link system damped by a fully adjustable Showa shock. The damper offers 12.4 inches of travel, with 13 positions for low-speed and high-speed compression damping and 17 positions for rebound damping.
The X boasts a 47mm inverted Showa twin-chamber cartridge fork that has been optimized for plusher response in off-road situations.
We had the Honda tech team set up the sag and front suspension to accommodate our Herculean physiques and it was obvious that when set up correctly, the suspenders on the X were up for just about anything. From high-speed fire roads to tight, granite-laden trails, the suspension soaks up small bumps and big hits with ease. While railing high-speed berms, the fork stays planted and gives ample feedback. In short, the suspension is as good as any we've tested.
Bringing the X to a stop is a set of impressive binders: Up front is a 240mm disc clamped by a twin-piston caliper, while the rear gets a disc of the same size and a single-pot caliper. Braking is virtually effortless on the X, and the adjustable front brake lever provides plenty of feel and feedback in all situations. The brakes were definitely a highlight, and while we only had one day to test the X, brake fade was non-existent.
Honda added a few goodies on the X that should reduce the amount of aftermarket components that most hardcore riders normally add upon purchasing a bike. The X, like the R, comes with a set of aluminum Renthal handlebars, which are rubber–mounted to reduce rider fatigue and improve comfort. CR-type handlebar clamps offer three mounting positions, +/- 3mm fore or aft, to ensure rider-matched ergonomic comfort. Its well-padded seat is covered with slip-resistant material that keeps a rider from sliding in demanding conditions.
Of course, the X wouldn't be an off-road racer without the enduro goodies. Illuminating the road ahead is a 35-watt halogen headlight that features a new lens claimed to spread light over a wider area; our day ride left us unable to test its beam. The taillight is one of the aesthetic triumphs on the bike thanks to an LED light that is integrated into the fender for a sleek, low profile. A three-digit, easy-to-read odometer rests between the number plate and the bars, while a 2.27-gallon fuel tank offers greater range for longer trips.
Once you get rolling, you may never stop thanks to a heft 2.37 gallon tank.
Another interesting component of the X is its sidestand. Honda heard from enduro racers who felt that other enduro-based big-bore thumpers lost some of their balance when the kick-stand was removed. The X has a conventional sidestand that integrates into the left footpeg, but it can be removed and replaced with an accessory bracket and removable stand that that can take its place for use in competition events, maintaining balance integrity when it is removed.
Of course, the reason the X is so appealing to many off road enthusiasts is the magic button. In addition to the electric start, the X offers a hot-start lever located on the clutch perch. The X fired up on the first or second try throughout the day. Even when tipped over, the X came to life with a flick of the button.
Vertically challenged riders might have some difficulty standing on two feet during stops. The seat height measures in at a Paul Bunyonesque 37.9 inches. At 6'0" I could comfortably rest on my toes, but Editorial Director Ken Hutchison at 5'8" had to side saddle the bike. Short people beware!
Finding nits to pick on Honda's 450X is an exercise in futility. The only thing I could manage to come up with after a few hours of riding was the need to replace the plastic skid plate with an aluminum version. Yes, Honda took their time in bringing the X to the public, but it also seems they have all the bases covered.
Looking for something to complain about on the X is an exercise in futility. Honda's newest off-road racer will takes riding to a new level with a nearly flawless ride.
It seems the long-awaited X is everything that off-road fans have been waiting for. Honda is notorious for taking its time perfecting its machines, and the X is no different. Yamaha's stranglehold on the big-bore four-stroke market will undoubtedly loosen significantly with the introduction of the X, and the battle between Red and Blue will certainly reach a fevered pitch over the next few years.
Ever since the introduction of the CRF250X, many of my colleagues and friends have openly hoped for a bike that was more powerful than the small-bore off-roader, but less racey than the 450R. The X is that bike, handing more experienced riders what just may be the perfect off-road machine. Whether it is raced or just ridden on the trails, the X is able to do it all.

Hema Malini unveils 'Vastra Kala Pattu'
CHENNAI: In a star-studded event, actor and politician Hema Malini unveiled 'Vastra Kala Pattu,' a new sari brand by Pothys, here on Monday.
The sari collection is a confluence of north and south, with the zardosi and minakari works aesthetically adorning the Kanchipuram silk sari. The saris have intricate weaving techniques such as Polki and Kundan where stones are embedded on the silk with gold and silver threads. Launching the sari, Ms. Hema Malini said "Indian women look the best in saris as it symbolises the elegance and grace of feminity. The fusion of north and south in the sari is an innovative venture to attract the south Indian women who are increasingly preferring north-Indian works."
Ms. Hema Malini, who was sporting a peach sari with elaborate works of Swarovski crystals, said the 'Vastra Kala Pattu,' sari would revive and popularise the artistic tradition of India.
"The sari has the solidity of south with the flamboyance of the north."
On her directorial ventures, she said she has plans to come up with two films shortly and more would be on the anvil depending on their success.
As a parting remark, she offered a piece of advice to up and coming actors: "Work-out is the best way to stay in shape. It needs a lot of discipline to maintain it."
Marking the event, women who have made a mark in their respective fields were honoured. Singer Anuradha Sriram, doctor Priya Selvaraj, ad director Latha Menon, fashion designer Irum Ali and singer-director Anitha Udip were felicitated.
A ramp-walk of Ms. Chennai winners was held. Managing Partner of Pothys S. Ramesh spoke.

Our MissionOur mission at Carolina Age Management Institute is to provide the most advanced anti-aging and aesthetic services in a safe medical environment with complete medical supervision.
Our Goal
Our goal is to help each and every patient achieve their desired results and obtain their optimal health and appearance through clinically proven treatments.
What Happens to My Skin as I Age? When your skin is young and healthy, it is filled with collagen and hyaluronic acid. These are the building blocks for youthful, healthy, glowing skin. As aging occurs HA (hyaluronic acid) and collagen are reduced, delivering less moisture and fullness throughout the dermis. Because of this skin dehydration and a lessening of collagen, our skin begins to wrinkle and sag. This aging process, along with external factors such as too much sun exposure and environmental pollutants, creates a less than desirable appearance for most of us. How do we help stop or reverse these visible signs of aging? Carolina Age Management Institute provides more of what your skin is missing with medically supervised, pharmaceutical grade injectibles and topical products that result in a much healthier, more youthful, beautiful appearance to the skin.
