New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow has been making the rounds, speaking at numerous churches and Universities around the country. His latest speech was given to 10,000 evangelical Christian students at Liberty University. While Tebow speaking isn't that huge of a story, what he actually said in his latest is interesting to say the least. "In the end, football is just a silly game. Greatness comes from serving", said Tebow. Worth noting is the fact that the context Tebow was speaking in was simply highlighting the fact that there is more to life and God than just a game. Even if that game is the NFL. But one does have to wonder. With his future with the Jets up in the air and questions about whether any other team would be interested in his services, will these comments rub teams the wrong way? We'll have to wait and see.

Hmmm - I asked only to eliminate a CD drive problem as the issue... The only other thing I can think of is that you have something running in the background that is consuming huge amounts of processor/memory. You might want to check in Task Manager and look at 'processes' and 'applications', see if there's something strange going on.

Obama visits tomb of slain Salvadoran archbishop
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador President Barack Obama stood, eyes closed, in a personal moment of silence before the tomb of slain Roman Catholic Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, whose fight for the poor during El Salvador's bloody civil war made him a national hero - and an international figure in human rights.
The visit Tuesday in the final hours of Obama's five-day swing through Latin America was a symbolic gesture that some called U.S. recognition of Romero's cause.
Obama toured the national cathedral with Monsignor Jose Luis Escobar Alas, the current archbishop, and paid respects to a man ordered killed 31 years ago by an official in El Salvador's U.S.-backed army.
Romero, now on a path to potential sainthood in the Vatican, spoke out against repression by the Salvadoran army during the 12-year civil war that killed at least 75,000 people. He was fatally shot in the heart March 24, 1980, as he celebrated Mass in a hospital chapel.
In a homily a day earlier, the 63-year-old archbishop implored the army: "In the name of God and the suffering people, I pray, I beg you, I order you, on behalf of God, to stop the repression."
Former guerrilla fighters who now make up the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, the rebel group-turned-political party, called the visit historic. Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes is the first to be elected from the leftist party, breaking a 20-year hold by the conservative Nationalist Republican Alliance in 2009. He has apologized for the Salvadoran government's role in Romero's assassination.
Obama and Funes both lit candles at the side of the tomb, which features a cast sculpture of Romero lying in repose with female figures poised at each corner.
"Romero is an inspiration," Obama said.
During an official dinner afterward, Funes noted Obama's visit to the tomb during his toast to the U.S. president.
"It's a gesture the people of El Salvador will never forget," Funes said. "Thank you for this gesture and your soldarity."
No one was ever convicted of Romero's murder.
The Truth Commission created shortly after the 1992 peace accords that ended the civil war determined that one of the masterminds was Maj. Roberto D'Aubuisson, one of the founders of the Nationalist Republican Alliance.
Before his death in 1992, D'Aubuisson denied ordering Romero's killing, and his party never accepted the Truth Commission's findings. Others involved will never be punished because of an amnesty in 1993.
Romero was born to a humble family in an eastern Salvadoran province and announced his desire to enter the priesthood early on.
During the war, death squads composed of civilian and military funded by the Salvadoran elite killed seminarians, nuns and priests who worked with the rural poor, according to the Truth Commission's final report.
Romero's growth in national popularity and international stature came as he advocated for his people.
He became "the voice of the voiceless" and every Sunday condemned from the pulpit the massacres and killings of innocent civilians in military operations. For conservatives of the country, the archbishop was a subversive.

Our Bureau
Hyderabad, Aug. 30
READY-to-eat foods in Hyderabad have become more colourful in recent years, thanks to the liberal use of a variety of food colours, most of them belonging to the permitted list.
The highest concentrations of colours were found in sweetmeats at 18,767 ppm (parts per million), non-alcoholic beverages (9,450 ppm) and hard boiled sugar confectioneries (3,811 ppm), according to a study done by the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), here.
The institute, however, found a healthy reduction in the use of non-permitted colours, which was limited to less than 10 per cent of the foods.
While the quantum of levels of permitted colour use in ready-to-eat foods is in the range of 200-730 ppm, as per the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, the NIN study found the range of use between 101 ppm and 18,767 ppm in Hyderabad city.
While the excess use of non-permitted colours causes known health problems, indiscriminate use of even permitted colours has become cause for worry. This issue needs to be addressed, the study said.
The NIN study covered a total of 145 outlets, including supermarkets (23), sweetmeat stalls (45), wholesale markets (15), retail outlets selling only confectioneries and other coloured food items such as deep fried snack, fun foods for children such as sugar toys, coloured synthetic powders (10), bakeries (21), fast food centres (6), small vendors (25).
The sample size was 545 coloured food items, which were purchased from these outlets. The colours from these samples were extracted and analysed. Most of the foods sold in the market were coloured and it was difficult to find a ready-to-eat food item without colour addition.
Some of the non-vegetarian preparations such as chicken 65, chicken Manchurian and chicken gravy were also coloured. Out of the 545 coloured food samples analysed, 32 per cent was sweetmeats, 40 per cent hard-boiled sugar confectioneries, 21 per cent miscellaneous and 7 per cent non-alcoholic beverages.
The NIN analysis showed that 90 per cent of these food items contained permitted colours, while 8 per cent used non-permitted colours and 2 per cent had a combination of both.

What it Is
Dodge Viper SRT10 Preview – 2007 Detroit Auto Show: The 2008 Viper SRT10's 600 horsepower put it in very exclusive company. While there are a handful of other cars that make 600 or more horsepower, they all cost well over six figures. The Viper joins this club at a relatively bargain-basement price. Its output leaves the Corvette Z06 in the dust, and puts it in the same category as megabucks Ferrari, AMG and other performance cars. Yet the Viper keeps its raw muscle car heritage, and Dodge intends on keeping it that way by refraining from adding all-wheel drive, traction control and all the other goodies found on other competitors.
Why it Matters
The Viper has brought a lot of attention to Dodge over the years and drawn many curious consumers to showrooms. Keeping this flagship car in the spotlight is important and doing so without changing its iconic nature is important, too. The Viper is a public relations tool that satisfies the enthusiast market and continuing to beef up the horsepower, styling and suspension keeps everybody happy.
What's Under the Hood
Here's where it gets good. For 2008, Dodge has increased horsepower to from 510 to 600 and torque from 535 lb.-ft to 560 lb.-ft. This was accomplished with a larger bore that increased displacement from 8.3 to 8.4 liters, new cylinder heads, larger valves, variable valve timing on the exhaust side and better cooling and breathing. Also new is a smaller-diameter twin-disc clutch that reduces pedal effort and improves engagement feel and an optional external transmission cooler.
What it Looks Like
Not a lot of changes were made to the exterior of the new Viper. It is still available as a coupe or roadster, which share a dramatic new hood and larger scoop along with functional louvers for improved cooling. Five new colors are available in 2008: Venom Red, Snakeskin Green, Viper Violet, Viper Orange and Bright Blue. Racing stripes continue as an option in six dual painted-stripe colors. The Viper still keeps its slick, muscular image and rides on polished 18-inch wheels up front and 19's at the rear. Three styles of wheels are now available.
What's Underneath
Keeping 600 hp and 560 lb.-ft. of torque planted to the ground is no easy task and has been an issue for Dodge concerning the Viper. The tail-happy Viper gets an improved speed-sensing limited-slip differential for improved traction. Beefy 14-inch rotors and Brembo dual opposing-piston calipers front and back stop the Viper from 60 mph in less than 100 feet, according to Dodge. Engineers didn't stop there. A full race-bred suspension resides under the Viper featuring lightweight control arms, knuckles and coil-over shocks.
What Dodge Says
Dodge touts the Viper as having world-class ride and handling, race-inspired interior and exterior styling and setting a benchmark for braking performance. Dodge lays claim to a 0-60-mph time under 4-seconds and a stopping distance of less than 100-ft from 60. On paper, the new Viper trumps the Chevy Corvette Z06, and we bet Dodge is itching for a shot at reclaiming the title of Baddest American sports car.
What We Think
With most exotic cars these days getting loaded up with AWD and traction and stability control, it's good to see the Viper staying true to its roots. We loved the last Viper and can't imagine another 90 hp and 25 lb.-ft of torque under our right foot. We praise Dodge for keeping the Viper a raw muscle car and look forward to another drive with the additional power. Now where is that number for Chrysler's press fleet?

And for me, this is-- it would be interesting if this circle closes in 15 years. No one would be happier that … this is a good ending. You know, I make long movies, so maybe this is (LAUGH) you know, maybe-- maybe this is a long story. But … it's important to know that … this (UNINTEL) has been there. And industry and government has known about it. All right. So what? So what?
The … thing is, is there's fishermen down there with wives and children who do not know that their way of life, they don't know … what next week is going to be. We're sitting here talking, I have it good. I mean, there's not anybody looking at this right now that's not going to think, "That … Chad has it pretty good." But if you can look out on that horizon, you can actually see oil barracks. Can you seem them out there?
CHAMPION: Yep.
COSTNER: That could come on this beach. And right now, the world can walk on this beach. When government does something good, they made sure that even though rich people can live on the beach, they couldn' t … they can't own it.
COSTNER: --anybody can walk on this beach. And so any one of us could right now, the, you know, if we're lucky, the dolphins'll come here and put on a show for free. And they come almost every day. But if something out there happens, you know, and it's not just an oil brig.
You know, we deal with a myriad of problems that could-- could hit us. You know, if-- if somethin' goes south in Alaska tomorrow, if somethin' goes south here, if something-- tragic happens again in the Gulf, what are we gonna do? That's why I said there's-- this has got to be looked at as almost a war effort.
This can't be a passive response and people-- in the know, once it becomes not, not a headline for them, it will always be a headline for the Gulf Coast, but when it's not a headline for them, to know that these things are legislative. These things have to come and they have to come now.
CHAMPION: And is this the answer? Or is this an answer?
COSTNER: This is an answer. This is a … part of this … giant puzzle. But this is almost your-- your most basic s … I made an analogy in Congress where I said, "Let me paint a picture." Because I could-- I could look at everybody and I was thinkin', "I'm not gonna win them over with the … . I just knew it. And I said, "Imagine if you had a boat, okay? A really big boat. A yacht kind of boat. A boat that everybody out there having a beer right now goes, 'I wish I had one.'
"And I'm talkin' about a boat that has all the gadgets. Has … an extra fishing boat on top. The boat's so big it can carry a fishing boat. (LAUGH) Where we just stare at it in awe, right? Has a helicopter pad and a helicopter. Has the jet skis. Has everything that you'd want. All the gadgets. And now there's an explosion and this boat's going down. And it's going to sink below the water. And so you take a look at it and you realize that your helicopter sunk. And your fishing boat sunk. And your water skis, your jet skis, gone.
"And now you're fighting for life and limb and you're trying to save your wife and your children. And the only thing that's going to keep them afloat is that ugly little orange life preserver that you have hidden out of view, that you have stowed somewhere else. And if you get your hands on that, you can save your wife and you can save your kids. And that's what this machine represents.

Another South African lesbian was raped and murdered last weekend.
Noxolo Nogwaza, a 24-year-old lesbian, was found dead in an alley in Kwa-Thema township near Springs, on Easter Sunday morning. It is alleged she was raped and murdered.
Ms Nogwaza was a member of the Ekurhuleni Pride Organising Committee (EPOC), the key LGBTI organisation in Kwa-Thema. The committee, along with the Coalition of African Lesbians (CAL) said that Ms Nogwaza's face was so badly beaten that she was unrecognisable. Her body had been stabbed all over with glass shards and an empty bottle and used condom were also reportedly found in her genitals.
Victor Mukasa, project coordinator of the Human Rights Defenders Project at CALI, said: "I am so disturbed by this horrific action. It is the responsibility of the South African Government to protect all its citizens. Hate crimes against LGBT people in this country are on the rise and the government should come out openly against these actions.
"Protection of individuals who are vulnerable because of their sexual orientation and or gender identity is something provided for in the Constitution of South Africa and should be put in practice. As a regional advocacy organisation, CAL will work with EPOC and others to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book."
"EPOC is determined to get to the bottom of the Noxola case and push for justice. It was definitely a hate crime."

A: We live in an age of rapidly intensifying communication — from blogging to Facebook, to now Twitter. Information is much more difficult to convey than emotion or humor, yet it is the core of the science world, meaning (scientists) face the greatest challenge to gaining and holding people's attention. Concision is no longer an option. It's now pretty much of an obligation to your audience.
Q: How can someone trained to just give the facts change?
A: Scientists don't understand that they are storytellers. But I've found the best scientists are often the best story-tellers too. It's not a coincidence.
You have to show (scientists) that a story is like a virus injected into a bacterium. It reproduces the message hidden inside the story and carries it along to spread everywhere.
Q: Why the angst in your book? Don't be this, don't do that? Haven't you won the battle? Al Gore won an Oscar and a Nobel Prize. The National Academy of Sciences has opened a Hollywood branch. Science documentaries are blossoming across cable television.
A: Show me the data. I don't see enough people concerned about climate in polls to do anything about global warming. Al Gore himself has said he fears he "failed badly" with his mission to build a strong mass movement behind global warming. His movie preached only to the converted.
One thing I was very happy about with my movie Flock of Dodos was that it aired on Showtime, a much broader audience than PBS. That is the biggest challenge with science communication — reaching outside the usual audience.
Q: Can't you go too far with story telling? The Day After Tomorrow reached a lot of people with a message about global warming, but some climate scientists thought it was ghastly.
A: Yeah, that's going way too far to the other extreme. It's style without substance. That's the challenge, to get style with substance.
Q: Is your book a self-help guide, or an autobiography disguised as a self-help guide? You take a lot of abuse in the book (an acting teacher throws him out of a class, as hopeless, to open it), what's going on there?
A: Well, maybe it's just an element of honesty. I have taken a lot of knocks in changing careers. It hasn't been easy. But I do live my life as an ongoing story. Even when a studio guy is just dismissing me, even when Stephen Jay Gould yelled at me for three hours straight (Olson was a teaching assistant of the famed paleontologist author), part of me was thinking, 'This is a beautiful scene, this guy is really ripping into me.' The low moments in life are all part of the story too.

LETTERS: NCT, July 19, 2009
This article has been modified since its original posting.
As a teacher, I enjoy taking early morning walks with my husband, who is also a teacher, during the summer months. One aspect of our walks that is not positive is when we see dogs that run up to us that are not on leashes. The park rules clearly state that dogs must be on a leash, yet many people fail to adhere to this.
I respectfully resent this because I feel this not only violates park rules, but also makes me feel uncomfortable. We have witnessed dogs that are on leashes bark loudly at one another. I cannot image what might happen one day when dogs who are not leashed meet up and decide to get physical.
I know how important dogs are to your families, so dog owners, please keep them on leashes not only for the safety of community members but also for the dogs as well.

Busby shows disrespect for police
I am baffled at the amount of people that still don't understand that when a police officer stops you for cause â"â" you are detained. We give police officers extraordinary powers in this country. When they ask you for your I.D., you give it out willingly. Francine Busby wants us to elect her to office, yet she shows her disrespect for the police whose laws her kind make and then have the police enforce them. "Do as I say, not as I do" are Francine's actions.

Thanks for support
What a heartwarming sight to see the love and support given the dedication of the plaque that was presented to us on Friday, July 10, by the Carlsbad Historic Preservation Commission in honor of the early Mexican pioneers who made Barrio Carlsbad their homes and started their businesses on the corner of Roosevelt and Walnut ("Intersection named 'heart of the barrio,'" July 9) .
We are grateful to all who attended and the many people who have supported us these many years. Special thanks to Father Bill, our city fathers, the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, the Carlsbad princesses, the police department, Supervisor Bill Horn's office, the Fiesta Del Barrio Carlsbad and the many other dignitaries who gave of their time to join us on this proud occasion.
Thanks to the North County Times newspaper for the great coverage and the great photos.

Sarah Palin a savvy self-promoter
Re: "Palin resigns amid speculation," July 4 : Don't underestimate the timing of Sarah Palin's decision to prematurely abort her job as governor of Alaska. During the 2008 presidential campaign, we learned that Palin is a savvy self-promoter whose celebrity status has not diminished.
As a well-known private citizen and the darling of the conservative right, she is now in a position to accept hefty speaking fees from the NRA, pro-life and other like-minded organizations. Palin already has a lucrative book deal, and chances are the Fox Network will be eager to have her join its right-wing circus.

Free calls and Channels are coming soon to BBM for iOS and Android
A struggling BlackBerry is attempting to turn its BlackBerry Messenger Service into something that can help keep it afloat, and lately has been pushing it pretty hard. Today BlackBerry announced that it has entered into a deal with LG that will see BBM installed on all of the company's smartphones.
Along with this announcement comes several new features that are sure to make BBM users on iOS and Android quite happy. Heading up the list of new features is BBM Voice, a free calling feature that lets users voice chat instead of using cellular voice service. BBM also now features chat room with a handful of channels that vary based on interest, hobbies, and consumer brands.
Microsoft wants you to create Windows apps easily with Project Siena
Creating apps isn't easy, but it looks like Microsoft wants to make it easier to make Windows apps with the just-announced Project Siena. Project Siena is a Metro-style app that lets anyone create their own Windows 8.1 program.
All you'll need is Windows, obviously, as well as some knowledge in how to use PowerPoint and Excel. You can make apps directly from a touch-enabled slate, which is a nice touch, as you don't even need a mouse or keyboard to make an app, which is nice. You can get into it right here.
Spotify begins rolling out fresh look for Android, Mac and Windows
This morning Spotify began quietly rolling out updates to its Android, Windows and Mac apps that brings forth a whole new look for the popular music streaming service. The login pages have a new look, and the overall theme is now much darker than before.
The update also adds image galleries, track play counts, and other small improvements such as larger fonts. Unfortunately, a full changelog has not been published and Spotify is keeping oddly quiet on the matter. When contacted by website, TheNextWeb, a Spotify representative said that the company had no comment on the updates or changes.
Kindle for Android gets updated to add Collections
For those of us with expansive Kindle libraries, Collections have made life very easy when looking for books of a specific type, but unfortunately until now, Collections were not possible on Android Tablets. Today Amazon updated the Kindle for Android App, and has now included the ability to add books to collections.
Kindle for Android now lets users chose how they would like to organize their books, and can also filter them by Author, Title, or Genre. Additionally, accessibility support for Android's Talk Back feature has been added, as has Explore by Touch. Users can now also offer a star rating for the books they like or dislike.
Apple TV snubbed, Time Warner Cable app out on Amazon Kindle Fire
Time Warner Cable subscribers that currently own an Amazon Kindle Fire HD or HDX tablet now have access to 300 live channels and 5,000 on-demand titles via their tablets. Time Warner already rolled out VOD for Roku set-top boxes, Microsoft Xbox 360 game consoles, the Samsung Smart TVs, and Apple iOS and Google Android devices.
It was rumored the Apple TV would receive the TWC TV app, but it looks like that might have to wait until early 2014.
Time Warner, like other cable operators, continues to try and tempt users to migrate content away from the living room - and rolling out apps for devices such as the Kindle Fire is an important step in the process. In a battle against cord-cutting, Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes wants cable operators to create new and innovative ways to compete against Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and other Web-based, streaming services.
Apple will require all apps to be optimized for iOS 7 by Feb 1st
Beginning February 1st, all apps submitted to the Apple App Store must be optimized for iOS 7, and those not iOS 7 ready will be rejected. This basically means that all apps must be built using the latest version of Xcode 5, and feature specific optimization for iOS 7.
The official announcement from apple follows: "Starting February 1, new apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the latest version of Xcode 5 and must be optimized for iOS 7. Learn more about preparing your apps by reviewing the iOS Human Interface Guidelines."
Roku 3 owners can now download the official YouTube app
Google has rolled out a new YouTube app for the Roku 3 set-top streaming player, providing Roku owners easy access to the world's largest video sharing site. The new channel is available starting immediately.
The new YouTube app includes HD video streaming, "Send to TV" feature from wireless phones, and easy access to all subscribed channels that can be shown on the TV. The new Roku 3 YouTube app is available for users in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Ireland, with additional rollouts expected in the future.
Even with HDTVs, Blu-ray players, and other living room electronics using streaming services, lack of YouTube access for Roku 3 owners has been a major complaint. The Roku 3 is the premier model from the set-top maker, providing access to a large amount of TV episodes, movies, sports, and other content all in HD - with integrated support for Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus and VUDU - and includes a headphones jack so content can be enjoyed quietly.
With Apple iPhone, iPad and Google Android support, viewers can use their mobile electronics as a Roku 3 remote.

Spotify finally makes its way to LG Smart TVs
LG Smart TV's are finally getting access to the most popular music streaming service on the web. LG announced today that Spotify will be making its way to LG Smart TVs later this month.
To gain access to the streaming app, you will have to meet a few requirements though which include a Spotify Premium subscription, and your LG Smart TV must be a 2013 or higher model. Unfortunately 2012 models will not have access to the app, and at the moment their appears to be no plans for free access to the service on LG TVs.
Yahoo Weather for iOS gets updated for iPad
Its been almost a year since Yahoo first introduced its Weather app for Apple's iPhone. Today the company has announced that the app has been officially optimized for iPad as well.
The Weather app has been huge amongst iPhone users, mostly for the fact that it integrates Flickr to display stunning background images on its local weather forecast. Yahoo says that now the app has been optimized for use on all iPad models and everything has been designed to dynamically scale up to the proper resolution. The release for iPad comes a few months after Yahoo refreshed the Weather app for Android.
Kik Messenger hits 100 million users, adds over 200k new per day
WhatsApp finally has some substantial competition for its bid as the biggest text messaging service in existence. Today Kik messenger announced that it has surpassed the 100 million user milestone and has been adding new subscribers at a rate of 200,000 per day.
"For us, growth gets a really big bump over Thanksgiving, which is a combination of new devices and people being in a new social sphere and sharing their passion for Kik," he explained, pointing to factors that have helped them reach this milestone. "It's hard to know what exactly is prompting growth. I wouldn't say there's anyone coming to Kik just for Cards and not for the messaging platform, but what it does do is provide a way for people to look at it and say 'Look at all the fun things I can do with Kik that I can't do with any other messaging apps."

Kaley Cuoco
Kaley Cuoco is an up and coming actress. Kaley Cuoco is known for her role in Charmed and The Bing Bang Theory. Check out Kaley's pictures, videos, and articles on our website.
Fresh off of receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Kaley Cuoco and her husband Ryan Sweeting decided to do a little celebrity impersonating for Halloween.
The "Big Bang Theory" actress did her best version of Justin Bieber while Mr. Sweeting donned a wig and low-cut top to portray a much taller and more masculine Selena Gomez.
It's been a stellar year for Kaley Cuoco so far, and yesterday (October 29) things got even more amazing when the Hollywood Walk of Fame honored her with her very own star.
The "Big Bang Theory" babe was joined by parents Gary and Layne Ann Cuoco, sister Briana Cuoco and husband Ryan Sweeting as she posed for photos with a big smile.
Things are always more fun with a few gal pals, and Kaley Cuoco and Nikki Reed had a blast with a pretty and preggers Milla Jovovich at the ASPCA shindig in Bel Air, California last night (October 22).
The "Big Bang Theory" babe looked fierce with her pompadour hairdo as she pranced around on the red carpet outside the swanky soiree.
Paying tribute to the fabulous females of film and television, the 21st ELLE Women in Hollywood shindig kicked off in Beverly Hills last night (October 20).
Silver screen sirens like Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Lange, Emmy Rossum, Lizzy Caplan and Nikki Reed all turned out for the snazzy affair, held at the Four Seasons hotel.
It looks like round two of the epic celebrity naked picture heist has just kicked off, as stars like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian have been targeted by a hacker who stole snapshots of them in their birthday suits.
Over the weekend, a whole new batch of naughty photos showed up on 4Chan and Reddit, including Vanessa Hudgens, Leelee Sobieski and Avril Lavigne.
She was among over 100 celebrities who had naked pictures stolen and posted on the internet, but Kaley Cuoco didn't freak out like many of her peers.
The super-hot "Big Bang Theory" star stopped by " Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night (September 18) to discuss her own philosophy on the whole birthday suit ordeal.
While many celebrities are freaking out that their nude pics have been hacked, Kaley Cuoco has a much more comedic approach to the whole ordeal.
On Tuesday (September 2) the "Big Bang Theory" babe edited a photo of herself and her husband Ryan Sweeting on the beach, blurring out her bathing suit top and his swim trunks.
Rocking her signature flirty look, Kaley Cuoco showed up at the 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards earlier tonight (August 25).
The "Big Bang Theory" star showed off her red carpet prowess in designer duds as she strolled inside Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre to catch all the action.
It's one of the most popular sitcoms in recent memory, but "The Big Bang Theory" is hitting a delay over cast salaries.
Jonathan Galecki, Kaley Cuoco and Jim Parsons are all holding out for more money, demanding that their $350,000 per episode paycheck be increased to a cool $1 million for each show.
She's been hard at work on "Burning Bodhi" in New Mexico as of late, and it looks like the old west has rubbed off on Kaley Cuoco.
The "Big Bang Theory" babe was joined by her husband Ryan Sweeting over the weekend, and they managed to find an old-fashioned vaudeville setting for a silly pic.

My wife and I drove down to Cedar City this morning with her parents for our annual pilgrimage to the Tony-Award-winning Utah Shakespearean Festival, one of the cultural treasures of this state. (Another is the Utah Festival Opera up in Logan, which, alas, our schedule has prevented us from attending this year.) We saw To Kill a Mockingbird in the afternoon and Shakespeare's rarely performed Titus Andronicus this evening.
I hope to write about those tomorrow. (Or, I guess, since it's now past midnight, later today.)
One of our traditions while here in Cedar City is to lunch every day at The Pastry Pub, owned by Syrus Saifizadeh. I really like their Southwestern Salad, while the rest of the gang always get the Pub Salad. A great place.
We typically mix our plays here — we see two a day for three days — with excursions up to Cedar Breaks National Monument, over to some of my ancestral areas in and around Pine Valley, and/or, even, to the solemn and sad site of the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
We've been doing this for something like twenty-five years now, I think. It's become an indispensable end-of-summer ritual.
Cedar City, Utah.

Looked good but had a weird aftertaste. My husband liked and that's all that mattered to me. I was making them for him. I added a Hershey's Kiss to top of each one.
great taste but the 350 oven did not seem hot enough. I cooked the second batch at 375 as the first batch was not cooked through even after 10 min. Have a thermometer in stove so it wasn't a problem with my oven. Second batch was awesome!

To date, the world can lay claim to little more than 190 sovereign independent entities recognized as nation-states, while by some estimates there may be up to eight hundred more nation-state projects underway and seven to eight thousand potential projects. Why do a few such endeavors come to fruition while most fail? Standard explanations have pointed to national awakenings, nationalist mobilizations, economic efficiency, military prowess, or intervention by the great powers. Where Nation-States Come From provides a compelling alternative account, one that incorporates an in-depth examination of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and their successor states.
Philip Roeder argues that almost all successful nation-state projects have been associated with a particular political institution prior to independence: the segment-state, a jurisdiction defined by both human and territorial boundaries. Independence represents an administrative upgrade of a segment-state. Before independence, segmental institutions shape politics on the periphery of an existing sovereign state. Leaders of segment-states are thus better positioned than other proponents of nation-state endeavors to forge locally hegemonic national identities. Before independence, segmental institutions also shape the politics between the periphery and center of existing states. Leaders of segment-states are hence also more able to challenge the status quo and to induce the leaders of the existing state to concede independence. Roeder clarifies the mechanisms that link such institutions to outcomes, and demonstrates that these relationships have prevailed around the world through most of the age of nationalism.

Trinity Assembly of God parishioners tithe 'no-strings' turkey giveaway
Published: Thursday, November 28, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.
DELTONA – Parishioners at Trinity Assembly of God passed the turkey in a large way on Sunday. The congregation there chipped in their donations, enough to buy 260 frozen holiday birds along with a bag full of non-perishable ingredients to round out the feast.
Monifa Spain, a member of the Trinity congregation, said she didn't need the free food herself, but she stood in line picking up the items for a friend. "She's a single mom with two kids and doesn't have a car."
After church services, church staff and volunteers set up a food receiving line near the Trinity school gymnasium. Visitors could preregister for the event to guarantee a turkey. Those who didn't preregister simply signed their name to get in the line. After picking up their non-perishable food, visitors were escorted out to the side parking lot where more volunteers passed them a turkey right off the truck. The event was open to the public. Volunteer Elvis Martin said the giveaway was non-discriminatory; anyone in need would be served.
Julio Lopez, director of Trinity's Beautiful Life Ministry Outreach, modeled the turkey giveaway after a recent food giveaway organized by State Rep. David Santiago (R-Deltona) at Dewey O. Boster Sports Complex.
No one who showed up and asked for food was asked to show proof of income. It was just neighbors helping neighbors.
"It's what we call a simple act of kindness, no strings attached," said Pastor Jamie Jones.
Lopez said money to purchase the turkeys came from the Trinity congregation donations. Wal-Mart gave the church a break in the price to purchase the turkeys. The non-perishable foods, like cornbread mix and canned green beans, were donated by the congregation.
"We hope that families are blessed on Thanksgiving Day, that they have a meal that they can sit and enjoy with family and friends," said Lopez.

In this week's installment of Pixel Playground, Bert shows us his process for creating water drops on a surface in Photoshop.
He begins by using the paintbrush to write "water" and create the droplets and underline. Next, he opens the Layer Styles and adds a sequence of styles that give the elements transparency and dimension. In order to create the magnifying effect of water droplets, he creates a new layer, duplicates the surface, and increases the size to make the underlying grain size larger.
Finally, Bert turns the water into a selection and gives it a mask so the grain under the water looks larger than the rest of the background. A little distortion of the edges of the water and the sand below put the final touch on this technique.
Watch this week's video to get started, and be sure to check back next week for the next installment of Pixel Playground, in which Bert will teach us how to wrap a pattern around a 3D wine goblet.

While once again refuting rumors that her marriage to T.I. is in trouble, Tameka "Tiny" Harris reminisced about how the two first met more than a decade ago.
They're both superstars now, but Tiny and T.I. had a pretty normal introduction. They didn't meet on the red carpet or during a music video shoot like some celebrity couples. They met at the mall.
"Our first date [was] the day that we exchanged numbers at the mall. We ended up hooking back up like maybe an hour later," Tiny told Arsenio Hall. According to the reality star, he didn't sweep her off her feet with an expensive meal or bottle service at an upscale nightclub. Instead, they ate at the $3 café. Despite rumors to the contrary, 13 years later, they're still going strong, according to Tiny.
She said she's heard all the gossip about T.I. cheating and even moving out of their home into a bachelor pad, but their marriage is solid, she assured.
"It's definitely not true," said Tiny whose friends and family inform her about the rumors when they surface. "It gets to me from sometimes friends, sometimes my mom. People call. It's going to get to me."
Though they're not thinking about divorce, according to Tiny, she didn't suggest that there is never trouble in paradise for the "Family Hustle" stars.
"We're just a regular couple. We fuss. We fight. We go through our things, but we're still together," she said.
Tiny talks about meeting T.I. below. Watch.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/405,469, filed Oct. 21, 2010.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to personal assistance devices, and more specifically to a convertible wheelchair having expandable panels for converting a wheelchair into a bed so that a patient may be laid prone for easy handling by a caregiver.
2. Description of the Related Art
In the medical field, several types of conveyances or conveyance devices are utilized to transport the infirm, geriatric or patient from one location to another. One of these types of devices is the well-known wheelchair. Most wheelchairs basically comprise a chair on wheels that can be manually propelled, motor operated or require an assistant to push the wheelchair along. These conveyances are a great benefit to the caregiver or medical staff in most situations, but they can be potential hindrances in times of emergencies or general hygiene. In emergency situations, any loss of time due to handling and removing the injured from a wheelchair can be potentially fatal, especially when the injured is in a sitting position. In situations where a caregiver must assist the infirm or geriatric with hygienic functions such as elimination of bodily wastes or bathing, maneuvering the patient in and out of a wheelchair can be an awkward and strenuous exercise, which can lead to potentially embarrassing moments.
One of the solutions to the above involves a reclining wheelchair where the backrest can be unfolded to provide a surface for the patient to lie flat. This works well when it is required to have the patient prone on the patient's back, but it is difficult to roll the patient over when access to the back of the patient is needed. In light of the above, it would be a benefit in the art of medical care to provide a wheelchair that facilitates easier handling of the patient.
Thus, a convertible wheelchair solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
The convertible wheelchair includes a seat and a plurality of chair legs extending downward from the seat. Each leg includes a wheel to permit movement of the convertible wheelchair. A reclining backrest is pivotally mounted to the back of the wheelchair. The backrest provides a flat, horizontal surface for a user to rest thereon. Both the seat and the backrest include a pair of panels selectively extendable towards the lateral side in order to form a bed. In this configuration, a caregiver can easily maneuver the user into any position required for ablutions and lavatory functions. Each panel and the handlebars on the backrest may include extendable legs to stabilize the bed.
These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
The present invention relates to a convertible wheelchair, generally referred to by reference number 10 in the drawings, which can be converted from a regular wheelchair to a bed or platform for easy handling and maneuvering of an infirm, geriatric or patient P. As shown in
The front pair of legs 18, 18 may include selectively deployable footrests 20 for the patient. These footrests 20 may swivel, fold or both into place with respect to the legs 18. As an alternative, each of the footrests 20 can be selectively extended, via e.g., a pivoting mechanism, so that the footrest 20 is level with the seat 12 when it is required to keep the patient's leg in an elevated position. A crossbeam or brace 24 is disposed between adjacent legs 18 to provide structural strength and stability to the convertible wheelchair 10.
The convertible wheelchair 10 also includes a further support for the patient's leg in the form of a lower leg support 52. The lower leg support 52 may be selectively deployed, e.g., by a pivoting mechanism, between the positions shown in
To convert the convertible wheelchair 10 into a bed or platform, both the backrest 26 and the seat 12 include extendable panels that increase the area on which the patient may rest. The backrest 26 is pivotally mounted to the seat 12, and prior to extending the panels, the caregiver reclines the backrest 26 in a manner similar to that taught by U.S. Pat. No. 4,997,200, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In this position, the caregiver can selectively extend panels laterally to increase the support surface for the patient and thereby form a bed.
As shown in
In a similar manner, the backrest 26 includes a left extendable panel 40 and a right extendable panel 44. Each panel 40, 44 includes slidable frames mounted to the back of the backrest 26 so that the caregiver can easily pull the panels out from the lateral sides of the backrest 26. Once deployed, the panels 40, 44 are stabilized with respect to the floor by respective telescoping legs 42 and 46. The legs 42, 46 are pivotally mounted to the respective panels 40, 44 so that, when not in use, the legs 42, 46 may be pivoted into a stowed position, as shown in
In use, the convertible wheelchair 10 may have all the panels 30, 84, 40, 44 pulled out to provide a stable bed for the patient P. In this configuration, the armrests 14, 16 serve as bed guards. Once the patient P is reclined, the patient P is in an easier position for the caregiver to assist the patient P use the lavatory facilities and clean up afterwards. In more dire situations, the patient P is in a more medically stable position for the medical staff, and the patient P can be more easily moved, e.g., rolled over or lifted, as required for a particular procedure.
Thus, it can be seen that the convertible wheelchair 10 minimizes the usual time associated with getting the patient in and out of a typical wheelchair, and thereby minimizes accidents that can occur with incontinent patients. Moreover, the ready bed configuration helps medical staff to quickly perform life saving procedures in emergency situations.
It is to be understood that the convertible wheelchair 10 encompasses a variety of alternatives. For example, the deployment of the seat and backrest panels may be facilitated by pivotal frames. Moreover, the armrests may be selectively removed to provide an uninterrupted support surface.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
