Being from the UK I had to Google "fall 2013"
And that's some huge window, up to December 20th!
Thing is:
Can you tell me if you have started developing this addon?
Estimated ETA like September, October, November or December. (A 4 month window is kinda extreme no!)
Obviously the road map is saying it's up next and stuff, but if it's going to be 4 months for the addon to come out and that's the "up next" then all the other addons you have listed could take a decade to come out.
If this is the case I will go and get a different solution to use on my clients sites, but obviously I'm an ithemes fan so I want to use ithemes because I know, like and trust you.
So whats the deal!
Straight up honest answer!
No pointing me to the "road map" should I wait (obviously I cant wait very long) to use exchange on my clients site or should I grab myself something else.
I'm a web monkey from the UK and have been using builder since it was first released.
If you would like to hire me get in touch

It should be released by mid October. This is a rough estimate at best and is as "straight up and honest" as I can be! I wish I had a more exact timeline for you, but it's the best I can offer you at this time.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.

our mission…
We are a bereavement and educational center for individuals and families who are grieving or facing other life challenges. Our mission is to help people cope with loss, support their healing, and nurture their physical and emotional well-being.
Bereavement Services
Support services are free of charge and open to the community. Our approach is to support people in a safe environment where they are able to share and process their grief with others facing similar losses. Our facilitators are trained volunteers who often have experienced a loss similar to the group members.
Our day-long support retreats enable people with similar losses to gather together. These retreats include yoga, meditation, group discussion and mini-body treatments. We also host a variety of guest speakers throughout the year.
About Hope Floats Healing & Wellness Center
In 2008 Ken and Denise Brack created Hope Floats in memory of their son Michael, who passed in 2002. Having learned how such a loss is devastating and isolating, they wanted to offer support and resources to others going through a similar crisis. Today the center offers a variety of free support groups, support retreats and complementary wellness classes, body treatments and workshops.
Hope Floats Community Events
Fall Yard and Barn Sale, Saturday, November 1, 9am-1pm

It all starts with the Christian belief that God created animals (dogs are animals) to serve humans. People that feel dog fighting serves humans a purpose of entertainment think its ok to kill them as part of the show.
Christians don't think that in the relationships between dog and man men are supposed to treat them by human laws of basic dignity. Man is above dog hence a man can kill a dog if that suits his purpose of entertainment.
You will not hear the Pope denounce dog fighting. No sir. The attitudes of many posters on here that man is above dog is very evident even when it comes to cruel death.

DMK MP Kanimozhi was on Tuesday granted exemption from personal appearance for two days by the special court hearing the 2G spectrum scam case. The court allowed Ms. Kanimozhi's application to that effect as she sought to visit Tamil Nadu to participate in an agitation launched by her party against the ruling AIADMK government.
'Trial will not be hampered'
Special CBI Judge O.P. Saini said: "Considering the fact that the process of trial shall not be hampered in the absence of accused [Kanimozhi] for these two days and her counsel shall remain present during the proceedings, I am inclined to allow the application. Accordingly, Kanimozhi is exempted from personal appearance in the court for July 4 and 5."
Contention rejected
The CBI raised fears that there was a possibility of her being arrested during the political agitation, which might affect proceedings in the case, but the court rejected this contention.

Outlook Add-In and Incident Generation
Hi everybody
Quite some time ago I found out that when the DLP Outlook Add-In gets disabled (manually or when in conflict with other Outlook Add-Ins doesn't matter), no incidents are being generated.
In fact, this means that any message sent through Outlook (2010) is completely (!!) bypassing the DLP agent.
We are using this feature as a response to display a warning or blocking message to our users as they are trying to send classified data via mail.
First, I thought the Add-In is used to only display these mentioned pop-ups. But it actually seems to provide the whole DLP functionality to Outlook (!!).
No Add-In = No DLP of mails sent through Outlook, even though the Agent and the service are active on the respective system.
Currently, we are using not the latest version of DLP (v11.0), but after reading the release notes of version 11.6 it seems this issue is not touched/solved/changed in any manner.
To me/us, this is actually quite a biggie and starts to raise quite some major concerns about the product.
I understand that this might not be the mostly reported issue and perhaps didn't even raise an incident at all. Bus as I think, this fact is not quite the way Symantec and - for sure - the customers want this feature to work, this needs to be looked at in a proper way.
If there is *any* possibility to make it impossible to deactivate the Add-In and therefor ensure the information chain is monitored, I would be absolutely greatful to know.
It even would help to know that this is an issue on the watchlist / waiting list to be solved, so this information can be passed to the management.
Any questions? Please don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Dor ECI
This is actually all about the Outlook Add-In.
My testing showed, the agent is not enough for blocking or alerting.
The Agent IS running in the background, but when the Outlook Add-In is not enabled in Outlook then nothing happens at the user side.
No incidents are generated, no warning, no blocking.
So i think that something is not working or configured as it should on your side.
I'm not familiar with outlook plug-in, but i can surely say that we are using DLP agent on our machines, and it's more then enough, once user takes action on his machine (Outlook, Browser, Office) and this action is not allowed by policy ==> Notification is been poped up immdietely.
Hi Dor ECI
Thanks for the reply.
I really hope you are right, but to confirm this, could you do me a big favor and check the following:
- Open Outlook and disable the DLP Add-In (otlk2k3.dll) via settings
- Try to send a Mail with respective content that would generate an Incident and warning/blocking pop-up
If it still generates a warning/blocking pop-up and a incident in the back-end, it would mean something's wrong in our environment.
If not, this means that you might be in trouble as well ;)
Thanks in advance
I would like to help you, BUT, as i said, i'm not familiar with Outlook add-in and we are not using it in ther organization.
We only using DLP agent on machines and it's providing the notification.
Can you please explain why do you use the outlook plugin?
I didn't find any documentation about it in the DLP admin guide.
As I see in my environment, the DLP Add-In for Outlook is automatically installed and enabled when you install the DLP Agent.
I have the same issue here (no incidents, no blocking, no notification...) only using Outlook, but the Add-In is enabled and the agent installed.
This might be something bigger then the fact the Add-In is enabled or not...

Until the postseason, Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams was the guy who played opposite Charles Woodson, the guy opposing teams threw at if they wanted a chance to win.
Super Bowl notebook: Tramon Williams made the big plays
But when Woodson went down with a broken collarbone, it was up to Williams to make the big plays — just like he has throughout the playoffs.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a natural for MVP of Super Bowl 45. He threw lasers all over Cowboys Stadium Sunday night, three going for touchdowns in Green Bay's 31-25 triumph over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers, by the way, now has as many Super Bowl rings as Brett Favre.
None of that would have been possible, however, if not for Williams and his bookend big plays.
One saved the Packers a catastrophic start. The other clinched the victory.
The clincher you'll see on all the highlights. With Pittsburgh facing fourth-and-5 at its 33 and 56 seconds left, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw high to Mike Wallace. Wallace got both hands on the ball. Williams got one, and that was enough to bat the ball away. The Steelers, who spent the whole game digging out after landing in a 14-0 first-quarter hole, were finished.
Williams' first big play of the day, however, might be forgotten but shouldn't. He nearly fumbled away the Packers' first possession inside their 20. As teammate Sam Shields barely avoided running into him, Williams muffed the catch and wound up on the bottom of a pile of players that took officials 30 seconds to unpile. When they finally had, Williams was came out with the ball.
The crowd inside Cowboys Stadium revealed itself as a majority Steelers crowd later in the game. But if Williams hadn't covered his mistake there, that discovery would have been made much earlier and the game might have been much different.
All of which capped an amazing postseason performance for Williams, whose interception in the end zone clinched the Packers' first-round victory at Philadelphia. His interceptions on consecutive possessions at Atlanta — the first in the end zone, the second returned for a touchdown as time expired in the first half — turned that game into a rout.
The Steelers' Troy Polamalu might have the best mane; the Packers' Clay Matthews had the best game.
The discussion of who has the better mane can rage on. As for who had the better game, the Packers linebacker, a Suave shampoo spokesman, scored a decisive victory over Steelers safety Polamalu, a Head & Shoulders spokesman. Neither was particularly active in the first half. And for a while, the Steelers were succeeding with a plan of neutralizing Matthews by running right at him. That's where Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall broke several of his better runs.
But Matthews came alive in the third quarter. His first big play slowed momentum built from consecutive touchdown drives that pulled Pittsburgh to within 21-17. On first down at the Packers 29, Matthews recovered from Roethlisberger's bootleg fake in time to jump high and bat down a pass. The drive stalled and Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham's missed a 53-yard field goal.
Matthews' biggest play set up the Packers' only touchdown of the second half, forcing Mendenhall's fumble on the first play of the fourth quarter. Eight plays later, Rodgers tossed a 8-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings and Green Bay 21 points off Pittsburgh turnover.

David Hayes manager Adam Booth has accused the Klitschkos of backtracking following the British boxers outstanding performance against Monte Barrett. Haye was due to fight IBF, IBO and WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in London next summer. It now looks increasingly likely that Haye will instead face WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. Speaking to Setanta Sports News Booth said:
At first they were talking about Wladimir, now they pull Wladimir out and offer me Vitali.
Booth added that it was a case of either fighting the brother with better punches and a weaker chin [Wladimir] or the one with the better chin but who has slowed considerably over the last few years [Vitali].
Meanwhile David Haye said he doesnt care which Klitschko he fights.
I watched that fight [Vitali against Samuel Peter] and I thought to myself is this it? Is this the mountain Ive got to climb? I can do it, I know I can.
There are so many things he did that I can exploit with my speed and power. Even the punches he throws I can see coming!
I think Im the best and Im willing to fight the best to prove it. Just like at cruiserweight. A lot of people said you havent got a chance of beating [Jean-Marc] Mormeck; you havent got a chance of beating [Enzo] Maccarinelli. Those are the guys I went after.
Now everyones saying you havent got a chance against Vitali, so Im going after the guy whos solid as a rock.
Hayemaker Boxing hit Rotherham with HAYEMAKER 3
Hayemaker Boxing rolls into Rotherham on Sunday, November 30 as The Consort Hotel plays host to a three-bout bill presented by Dave Coldwell.
The intimate HAYEMAKER 3 show will feature fast-rising welterweight Curtis Woodhouse, hard-hitting middleweight Patrick Maxwell and cruiserweight John Anthony. All appear in non-title bouts and all promise to deliver explosive action.
Former pro footballer Woodhouse, unbeaten in his eight-bout boxing career, looks to keep ticking over before a standout 2009.
Whoevers holding the British title in two years better watch out because Im coming for them, states the 28-year-old Woodhouse, 8-0 (4 KO) as a pro.
Ive sacrificed a lot to get where I am now and I wont stop until I get what I want. I gave up a well-paid job as a footballer to do this thing and its out of love and a desire to succeed. Im not going to cut corners; Im not going to give up. This is it for me. Failure isnt an option. I cant wait to step things up next year.
Similarly determined is 29-year-old Maxwell, a pro for over 10-years. Undoubtedly talented, the Sheffield-based Maxwell is now looking to finally fulfil his potential following a stop-start career
I know I have the ability to beat a lot of the top fighters in Britain and Europe, says Maxwell, 14-2 (11 KO). There comes a point when you have to stop thinking those things and saying those things and just knuckle down and prove it. Thats where I see myself right now. Its time to go out there and prove just how good I am.
Hayemakers Head of Boxing Dave Coldwell is excited by the November 30 menu and guarantees a special kind of atmosphere on the night.
Curtis has already sold around 150 tickets and the venue only holds 340 people, says Coldwell. There are only a handful of tickets left and Im sure its going to be an electric atmosphere on November 30. Curtis, Patrick and John always bring it and are very rarely involved in bad fights. This is a value for money, three-fight show that does exactly as it says on the tin.
*** Tickets for HAYEMAKER 3 in Rotherham are priced at £26 and can still be purchased by calling 07799 456 400.
*** Visit the official Hayemaker website at www.hayemaker.com for more information on HAYEMAKER 3 and other forthcoming events.

Pele made his FIFA World Cup™ debut as a 17-year-old in Brazil's successful 1958 campaign.
Arguably the greatest player of all time had to wait until the third game for his first start, sitting out the 3-0 win over Austria and the goalless draw against England. The Soviet Union were the opposition for the historic occasion as Brazil cruised to a 2-0 victory thanks to two goals from Vava.
Pele's turn to shine came in the knock-out rounds as he scored his first FIFA World Cup goal in a 1-0 quarter-final elimination of Wales. Next up were the semi-finals and Pele excelled, scoring a second-half hat-trick as part of a 5-2 demolition of France. The final saw another comprehensive Brazil win and another 5-2 scoreline, with Vava and Pele both scoring twice to add to Mario Zagallo's strike.

Chemists have designed synthetic fabrics that help athletes stay drier or swim faster. Bicycles, which were once only made of steel, are now also made of new, lighter materials such as aluminum alloys, titanium, and carbon fiber. They're often stiffer than steel, too, so they turn more peddling energy into rolling energy. Lighter and stiffer frames mean faster bicycles—and perhaps more wins for racers. Thanks to discoveries by chemists, engineers, and other scientists, today's athletes have a definite advantage over those ancient Olympians.

Modern shoes contain various types of polymers that absorb shock at the same time as they provide support, flexibility, and traction. Look at the picture below to find out what materials can be found in your athletic shoe. Also remember that when you wear out or outgrow your shoes, it is a good idea to find a place to recycle them. Who knows? They might turn up in a playground, basketball court, or running track. W Midsole Upper Most of a shoe's shock absorption takes place in the midsole. The most common material used today is a springy foam polymer called ethylene vinyl acetate. Some sports shoes use a denser foam polymer that chemists developed from polyurethane—the same material as skateboard wheels, just with air bubbles in it! You can also find gel or high-tech plastic materials. The upper portion contains the laces, color, and design. It is usually made from leather or a synthetic material— depending on the sport or activity the shoe will be used. For instance, most running shoes are made from a synthetic polymer called polyester, also known as "mesh". It is lightweight and helps with support and breathability. Insole The insoles also absorb shock to keep your muscles from working too hard even during normal activities. Insoles come in a variety of different types, including plastic foam and silicone gel. Laces Most shoelaces are made of leather, cotton, or a mix of natural and synthetic polymer materials. toe Box By controlling how rubber is made, chemists can change how it feels. For example, a harder type of rubber may be used to protect your toes in your soccer or baseball cleats, and a softer type may be used in jazz shoes for dancing on your tiptoes. Outer sole The soles need to be long-lasting and provide good grip to a playground or gym floor. Various forms of rubber are most often used here. 4 A synthetics in Athletics fiberglass, a combination of synthetic materials. The racquets weigh about half as much as early wooden racquets. Because they are lighter, the risk of injury decreases and a more powerful swing is produced. Another common material used in sports equipment is found in nature: rubber. It is a natural polymer that comes from a tree. For example, rubber is the main ingredient in bicycle tires and basketballs. It is often mixed with other chemicals to make it stronger. In bicycle tires, carbon black is added to improve the traction of the tire's treads and to give it its traditional black color. The insides of most balls are made of rubber that is wrapped with layers of fibers. Other natural materials that are used are cotton and leather. Think about where you can find them in today's sports equipment. As you explore the chemistry in sports equipment, look at the materials in your own activities. How do these materials compare to what your teachers or family members used when they were younger? bout 50 years ago, bathing suits were made of cotton, and tennis racquets were built with wood. Not anymore. The work of chemists and other scientists have led to the use of new materials in sports equipment and clothing that have changed many sports. The materials are usually lighter and longer-lasting and help athletes move faster and feel more comfortable. Many of the materials used in today's sports are made in laboratories by chemists. These materials are known as "synthetic". For example, the 2008 Olympic swimmers wore swimsuits made from nylon and spandex. Both of these materials are synthetic polymers; long fibers that chemists have designed to have special properties—nylon to be smooth and durable, and spandex to be stretchy. Compared with a cotton swimsuit, a nylon and spandex one is light, slippery, and fits tightly. It allows the swimmer to move and glide quickly through the water.

The earliest balls were made out of stone and wood. They were used to play games that involved kicking and carrying. The discovery of natural rubber changed what people could do with a ball. They could bounce it! These days, not all bouncing balls are made out of rubber. They can also be made out of leather or plastic and be hollow or solid. Think about the last ball that you bounced. What materials were used to make it? In this activity, you will make a bouncy ball from glue, borax, and cornstarch. Be sure to SAFETY! follow Milli's Safety Tips and do this activity with an adult! Do not eat or drink any of the materials used in this activity. Meg A. Mole's Bouncing Ball Procedure 1. Using a marking pen, label one of the cups "Borax Solution". Ask your adult partner to help you pour 2 tablespoons of warm water into the plastic cup. Measure 1⁄2 teaspoon of borax powder and place it in the same cup. Gently stir with a wooden craft stick until the powder is completely dissolved in the water. 2. Use a marking pen to label the second cup, "Ball Mix". Pour one tablespoon of glue into this plastic cup. 3. Add 1⁄2 teaspoon of the borax solution to the cup labeled, "Ball Mix". Do not stir the mix yet! 4. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and wait about 10–15 seconds before you mix it all together with a wooden craft stick. 5. Stir everything together until you can no longer stir the mix with the wooden stick. 6. Take the mixture out of the cup and place it in your hands. The mixture will be sticky and messy! 7. Knead the mix to form a ball. (The more you knead, the less sticky it will become.) 8. Once the mix has been shaped into a ball, bounce it and play with it! 9. Measure the width of your ball and write it down in the "What Did You Observe?" section. Describe what the mix felt like before and after you shaped it. 10. Store your bouncy ball in a zipclosing plastic bag once you are finished playing with it. 11. Thoroughly clean the work area and wash your hands. B Materials Marking pen 2 small plastic cups (4 oz.) Measuring spoons Warm water Borax Wooden craft stick White craft glue Cornstarch Watch with second hand Metric ruler Zip-closing bag try this… See what happens if you add more cornstarch. Are you still able to make a ball that bounces? Try making different colored balls by adding food coloring to the glue. Combine one drop of two different colors to see what you get. Width of your ball: __ _____cm How high did it boun ce? _______cm How did the mix feel as you started to shape it? ________________ ______________ How did it feel after yo ________________ u shaped it? ______________ What did You Observ e? Where's the Chemistry? Glue contains a polymer called polyvinyl acetate (PVA). When you add borax solution to polymers like PVA, it cross-links or connects the two polymers together like a net or a spider's web. Depending on how much of each ingredient that you mix together, you can make something that is "goopy", slimy, or stretchy. For instance if you add more cornstarch, you will be able to bend and stretch the mix. Add less borax and you will get a "goopy" mixture. To make a slimy substance, add more glue. 6 Y evaporation exploration Wa te r ou're geared up and ready to play. Wait! What are you wearing? Fabrics like cotton can soak up sweat and water, and they dry slowly. So as you sweat, cotton clothes can become wet and sticky, even heavy—they hold on to the water they soak up. The new high-tech fabrics in modern sports clothing are different. They have the ability to pull moisture away from the skin and carry it to the outer surface of the clothing, where it can evaporate more easily and cool you off. In the following activity, you will compare the rate of evaporation of water from cotton and a paper towel, which will act like a high-tech fabric. Room Temp Wate Room Temp r Water Be sure to follow Milli's Safety Tips and do this activity with an adult! Do not eat or drink any of the materials used in this activity. SAFETY!

Use a marking pen to label the cup "Water". 2. Use the marking pen to label 2 zip-closing bags with "Room Temp". Label the other 2 bags with "Hot Water". 3. Add about 1 cup of room-temperature water to each of the 2 zip-closing plastic bags labeled "Room Temp". Get as much air out as possible, and seal the bags securely. Lay the bags down flat. 4. Have your adult partner add about 1 cup of hot tap water to each of the 2 zip- closing plastic bags labeled "Hot Water". Get as much air out as possible, and seal the bag securely. Lay the bag down flat. This bag will serve as a heat source. 5. At the same time, use a dropper to place 1 drop of room temperature water in the center of 2 separate pieces of brown paper towel. 6. Repeat step 3 with the cotton fabric swatches. 7. Allow the drops to spread for about 10-20 seconds until they don't seem to spread any more. 8. Place one paper towel on the bag labeled "Room Temp". Place the other paper towel on the bag labeled "Hot Water". 9. Repeat step 8 with the cotton swatches. 10. Observe every few minutes. Compare the amount of water on each paper towel in the "What Did You Observe?" section. 11. Thoroughly clean the work area and wash your hands. Where's the Chemistry? The fabrics used in modern sports clothes have pores to move water away from the skin and to the outer surface of the fabric so that it will not soak up. The pores provide a way for sweat to evaporate faster, keeping you dry and comfortable. Evaporation happens when water is heated and goes into the air. It takes energy to evaporate water. Heat is a form of energy, so water evaporates more quickly at warmer temperatures. The material that soaked up the water will have a slower rate of evaporation versus the material that contains pores for the water to easily evaporate, just like what is used in high-tech clothing. Does adding heat to water increase the rat e of evaporation? ________________ ________________ ____ ________________ ________________ ____ Which sample of wa ter evaporated faster , the cotton swatch or the paper towel? ________________ ________________ ____ ________________ ________________ ____ What did You Observ e sports Word scramble olblfato nbwogli yllvoellab matssygnic wlitsgern ixbngo _____ _ _ _ __ _____ _____ __ _ _ _____ Each of the scrambled words below is a sport.

Go through these streets and read about the materials used in the sports gear that you or athletes may use. If your favorite is not mentioned, ask your teacher or family member to help you investigate the chemistry behind the sport. Discover that chemistry is all around you! I often used to keep swimming pools free of bacteria. Chlorine kills bacteria, can be used as a cleansing agent, and also works to rid pools of algae. swimming Chlorine is the chemical most Bowling Bowling balls today are covered with polyester, urethane, or resin, also called reactive urethane. Inside is either a dense plastic or ceramic core for weight. material used in today's tennis racquets is graphite, a combination of carbon fiber and plastic resin that makes a light, stiff, powerful racquet. Most players use strings made of nylon or polyester. tennis The primary soccer Soccer balls are made from synthetic leather, usually either polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Even after many kicks and hits, the synthetic material allows the ball to keep its shape. an enswell (or "end-swell") to help reduce swelling from hits to the eye area. It is usually made of aluminum or other metal alloy, and can be easily cooled on ice. Boxing Fighters generally use an instrument called either natural or synthetic rubber mixed with carbon black. Rims and frames can be made from traditional steel to aluminum, titanium, and carbon fiber. Cycling Bicycle tires are 8 Around Us!!! track and Field Most world-class tracks are composed of natural and synthetic rubbers. They are easier to maintain than the clay surfaces used 40 years ago and have allowed athletes to run at faster speeds. beach volleyball is made of silicon dioxide, but it also contains particles of other chemical elements such as gold and aluminum. Most nets are made of polyethylene. Volleyball The sand used in a very hard plastic called acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). It is crackresistant, which safeguards players from high-speed pitches and other collisions that may occur during a game. Inside the helmet are soft plastic foam pads of ethylene vinyl acetate or polypropylene that protect a player's ears. Baseball Helmets are made from some form of plastic. For instance, vault and pommel horses contain polyethylene plastic foam to help absorb shock. Gymnasts often use a magnesium carbonate powder on their hands to help prevent slipping from the bars and other equipment. Gymnastics Gymnastics equipment begins as 9 t don't sweat It: Y ou're C overed potassium, and chloride. When you sweat, these electrolytes come together to form salts that give sweat a salty taste. Keeping the right amounts of water and electrolytes in your body is important. Without enough of either, your muscles can become weak or can cramp up. You may also get a headache or feel dizzy. hink about when you sweat. After running around at recess? Playing sports? Just standing in the sun on a hot summer day? In each of these cases, your body is trying to get cooler. When you are hot, you sweat. Your body makes sweat Water is Best For exercise or play that lasts 30 minutes or less, just drinking plenty of water is best. Our bodies usually get enough electrolytes from what we eat and drink during the day. For example, bananas and potatoes are full of potassium. Do you have any ideas of foods you may eat that contain electrolytes? You can check nutritional labels on food packages or ask a family member or teacher. Athletes who are very active for long periods of time can lose a lot of electrolytes as they sweat. In their cases, they need to replace these electrolytes. That's why you may see athletes gulp sports drinks as well as water as they play. Remember, to do your best at sports, stay hydrated with plenty of water. Luckily, you do not have worry about staying cool; your body has it covered—with sweat! inside tiny coiled tubes buried in your skin, called sweat glands. The average person has over 2 million of them! Sweat is released onto the surface of your skin through small openings called pores. It may not feel like it when you're sweating a lot, but the water in your sweat is always drying on your skin. As it dries, it carries away some of the extra heat from your body. This process is known as evaporation. What are Electrolytes Besides water, you release minerals called electrolytes. Your body needs electrolytes so your nerves can talk to each other, your muscles can contract and move as they're supposed to, and you maintain the right balance of water in your cells. The most abundant electrolytes found in your body are sodium, 10 the Buzz on electrolytes W hen you sweat you lose important electrolytes like sodium, chloride, and potassium. One major function of electrolytes is that they help to conduct electrical currents in your body and allow muscles to contract and relax. We usually get enough electrolytes from our regular diet. For example, both bananas and raisins are rich in potassium. We also get plenty of sodium and chloride from the table salt that is used to flavor foods and even some drinks! In this activity, you will make a sensor to test for the presence of electrolytes in everyday liquids. Listen for the buzz. It will let you know if they are there. Procedure 1. Use the marking pen to label each of the four cups. Label one cup "Distilled Water", another, "Sports Drink", the third with "Juice", and the last "Vegetable Oil". 2. Fill each of the cups with the four different liquids until it is about ¾ full. 3. Completely cover each of the craft sticks with aluminum foil. 4. Grab your buzzer. It should have one red and one black wire. If necessary, untwine the wires so that your adult partner can easily set up the activity. 5. Have your adult partner use the transparent tape to tape the red wire to the positive end of the battery. It will have a "+" sign. 6. Next grab the other craft stick. Have your adult partner tape the black wire of the buzzer to the craft stick. 7. Then tape your other craft stick to the negative end of the battery. It will have a "–" sign. Your electrolyte tester should now be ready. 8. Take the craft sticks and gently place them about an inch apart from each other in the cup labeled "Distilled Water". Did the buzzer make a sound? Record your results and note whether electrolytes were present in the "What Did You Observe?" section. 9. Rinse the craft sticks with the distilled water and wipe them dry with a paper towel, making sure there is no liquid left on the sticks. 10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 with the "Juice", the "Sports Drink" and the "Vegetable Oil". 11. Thoroughly clean the work area and wash your hands. If possible, place the plastic cups and foil from the craft sticks in a recycling bin. Materials SAFETY! Be sure to follow Milli's Safety Tips and do this activity with an adult! Do not drink any of the liquid samples used in this activity. 2 mini craft sticks Aluminum foil Buzzer (available at electronics store, like Radio Shack, model #273-55) 9V battery Transparent tape Permanent marking pen 4 disposable plastic cups (4 oz.) 1 paper towel sheet Distilled water Sports drink Juice Vegetable Oil What did You Observ e?

(Yes or No) Where's the Chemistry? try this… Test whether other drinks, such as milk, soda or lemonade, have electrolytes present. Although electrolytes are invisible to our eyes, you detected their presence when you heard the sensor buzz. In this experiment, the electricity from the battery was passed through the aluminum foil on the first craft stick. The solutions that contained electrolytes acted like a wire by letting the electricity pass from the first craft stick to the second craft stick, and eventually to the buzzer. 11 Play It safe: Go for the Gear hen you're playing sports, the last thing you want to think about is getting hurt. Luckily, chemists have thought about it for you. Developments by chemists and other scientists have helped sports become safer from when your parents were children. Today's safety gear is lighter, sturdier and—best of all—it protects you better. W Helmets— Layer of Protection Helmets are the kind of safety gear that people often think of first. Back in the early 1900s, football and baseball players wore helmets made from leather. It offered little protection, and players were likely to suffer from a head injury. The same was true in bicycling. Then in the mid-1980s, bicycle racers started wearing helmets made of polymers. They were designed to protect and cushion their heads if they fell. As a result, fewer head injuries have occurred. The bicycle helmet you wear today is based on those first helmets. Not only does it protect your head from injury, it is much lighter and cooler to wear. That's because chemists, engineers, and other scientists are inventing new materials and ways to put them together to protect you better. Safer with Polymers Most kinds of sports gear today are made of polymers. Polymers can be hard, like the plastic shell of a helmet, or soft, like the foam inside of a volleyball knee pad. Each polymer is carefully designed to act a certain way. A stretchy polymer called spandex helps your soccer shin guards cling to your legs even while you run. The palms of skate gloves may be a tough nylon polymer that shields hands from scrapes. Basketball players may wear polycarbonate eye shields to protect their eyes from balls, elbows, and other kinds of hits. Even the materials found in your athletic shoes are designed to keep you from being injured. For example, the soles of most sports shoes are made from rubber, a type of polymer. It helps you grip to a surface such as a cement sidewalk or your gym's floor to prevent you from slipping and hurting yourself. Another example may be found in your neighborhood park or school playground—rubber mats. Most are made from recycled tires and, most importantly, they provide good padding in case you fall. Before your next outing, look at your safety gear and equipment used in the sports you play. How does each piece help protect you? 12 COOL CHeMIst: Amy Wylie what were your favorite subjects in school? History and chemistry what is your title and where do you work? Senior Research and Development Specialist in the Business Development Group at Bayer Material Science what made you first interested in science? When I took a laboratory class for the first time, I enjoyed working hands-on to find a solution. what is your job? I formulate polyurethane coatings that protect plastic parts from being scratched or damaged. I also invent "soft feel" coatings that can be found on handles of sports equipment. These "coats" protect objects. How would someone come in contact with your work? You can see polyurethane coatings on plastics every day. They are used for plastic parts that are found in your car, sporting goods, or on toys, to name a few. A good example is the official soccer ball used for the World Cup championship. Bayer supplied polyurethane coatings and adhesives for that ball. what is the coolest part about what you do? I design a coating in the lab and follow it all the way to where it is actually applied to a product. How did you become a chemist? I started working at Bayer Material Science while I was finishing my B. S. in life sciences from Pennsylvania State University. While still working at Bayer, I went back to school at the University of Pittsburgh to earn a second B. S. in chemistry. This degree helped me get a position as a coatings chemist. Anything else you would like to share about science? Science is challenging, yet fun. It can be enjoyed by children of all ages. The wonders of science are all around us, even in our everyday lives. 13 o all balls bounce? Most do, but how high a ball bounces depends on the material from which it is made and the temperature of the ball. In the following activity, you will compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference. d What Counts in Bounce Procedure 1. Using the marking pen and a strip of masking tape, label one of the containers, "Ice water", label the 2nd, "Tap water" and the 3rd, "Hot tap water". 2. To the container labeled "Ice water", fill it halfway with tap water. Next add ice so that the container is ¾ full of ice and water. 3. To the container labeled, "Tap water", fill the container with tap water until it is about ¾ full. 4. To the container labeled, "Hot tap water", have an adult partner fill the container with hot tap water until it is about ¾ full. 5. Place one racquetball in each container and let it sit for at least 2 minutes. Use a timer to keep track of the time. 6. Meanwhile have your adult partner hold a measuring stick or tape with the zero end resting on the floor. 7. Using tongs, remove the ball from the "Tap water" container. 8. Hold the ball at a height of 90 cm above a hard surface and drop the ball next to the measuring stick or tape. Make sure to pay attention to how high the ball bounced. 9. In the table provided, record your result in the "What Did You Observe?" section. Place the ball back into its container. 10. Repeat steps 7-9 for the balls placed in the "Tap" and "Hot tap" water containers, respectively. 11.

Ball temperature Ice water Height (cm) Tap water 3 Hot tap water 2 1 Hot tap water Tap water Where's the Chemistry? Ice water try this… Test how temperature affects golf balls. Balls bounce because most of them are made from some type of polymer, like rubber. The type of polymer used in a ball will determine how high, or low, a ball will bounce. The rubber polymers found in racquetballs are long, stringy, and closely coiled to each other. It is that coiled shape that gives a ball its ability to spring into the air. When the temperature of a ball is cooled, the polymer loses its coiled shape and becomes straighter and less springy. Warm up a ball and its polymers become even more coiled than at room temperature. 14 Annie's Matching Game Fill in each blank with a letter matching to the correct number below.

At other places all is about the experience.
Floridita definitely fall into the second category. Inside this dark basement restaurant you'll find London?s greatest tribute to Havana style and culture. Floridita is a place to indulge the senses. The experience starts with the cocktails ? followed by delicious Central American meals (well flavoured) and South American wines. (Chili)
Live band ? cuban music ? upraises the atmosphere
And than finally ? after some salsa dancing ? early morning, driving back to the Thistle Tower hotel by cab, please note that the subway clw)oses around midnight.
To be short: we had a great time ? and a hole in the wallet.
Favorite Dish: Picanha ? roasted meat ? mixed salad
Sea Bass ? mixed Salad
Bottle Still Water ? Havana Anejo ? Chilcas Chardonnay ? Moroc Mint thee
Several Havana Anejo with Diet coke ? Cointreau
- Food and Dining
Floridita: Wonderful Atmosphere and food to die for!
Floridita provides a unique opportunity to experience the exciting and vibrant essence of Cuba's rich culture and passion, right in the cosmopolitan heart of London. A unique mix of a classic Cuban bar and a vibrant and contemporary restaurant, serving a magnificent combination of Cuban and Latin American cuisine.
I loved it because of the laid back but yet at the same time vibrant atmosphere. Decor is beautiful and you can watch a live band and dancing whilst you eat in comfort.
Favorite Dish: For a Starter my favourite is Stuffed piquillo peppers, soft cheese & anchovies Hot sauce & shaved Parmesan. The tastes combine were simply mouthwatering and leave you wanting more and more and more!
For the mainmy favourite is Sea Bass with mussels. I cannot remember what sauce the mussels had been in but it was divine!
They also have great cocktails... try the planters Punch!

It has begun…
Battery life is just awesome! haha thanks for the share
Hey man, very nice voice and its a beautiful song as well! I totally support you in uploading tracks with vocals.
When I first made this track, I hardly ever thought it would be my top selling : http://audiojungle.net/item/africa-oh-motherland/5280770
But I guess you could never understand how the jungle truly works!
Hey mate,
Check this out: http://audiojungle.net/item/a-warriors-last-journey/5176790
Zineb_Chraibi said
Being featured without a doubt helps boost sales. By no means did I smash any sales records, but purchases of my stuff during the last 7 days quadrupled as compared to the weeks of May and June. I have to conclude that this site is all about exposure and privileged "shelf space" in the audio jungle "store". Sure, you have to have quality to back up the exposure, but there is no doubt in my mind that success at audio jungle is contingent on and correlated to front page items, featured author, popular items, and featured items exposure.
"Popular items" is the cream of the crop from my 9 months of observation.If you land there, you will be on your way to steady, constant sales.And Congrats to Flossie for taking that spot this week! Give us your results after the week is up…
Couldnt agree less! +
I think its all about exposure, and because the AJ market is getting more and more saturated it is getting harder for users to search and locate your music since there are thousands of other music files that share similar competitive keywords.
There was an interesting thread opened by Zineb relating to the issue: http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/my-results-as-featured-author/135994
Anyways great music, enjoyed listening to it
hey man,Ive released a new track might be added to the collection http://audiojungle.net/item/lost-dream/8166548
pretty impressive mate! Happy 22nd Birthday !

Uh.... as far as I can tell, it's not that hard. Seriously.... I'd do it on my 9 chars. Maybe even my Foundry char too.
What the poster above me said though i'm sure where he get's 300K from, i heard the entire rep system would be 80K per. the man issue is the 36K per set peice. If they start expanding our ability to bring boff's on ground content and give us the promised ability to bring in extra ships as a personal fleet the outfiting costs are going to become astronomical. 4 boffs, 4 ships, plus ourselvs is a full 1,000K, yes 1 mil dilithium. They also stated Dilithium store prics for weaponry, thats probably around 20-30K per weapon. So your looking at another 0.6-0.9M for everyones weapons. Even if we ignore ground and assume a smaller number of ships, it's going to be hard to keep it below 1Mil.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
Silly Bulworth. Let music play the guinea pig and you'll see: Everybody fuckin' ain't always pretty. On their mulatto mix How to Kill the DJ [Part Two], Optimo (Espacio) force-breed rock and electro and novelty and noise and tech42 songs in 75 minutes, or 76 minutes if you count those annoying iPod gaps. DJs Twitch and Wilkes practice good science: With enough bridge tracks, songs cross-fade undetected, mood dictates a clean sequence, and the eclecticism's way utopian, man. The Cramps' "New Kind of Kick" smooches electro-goth Harco Pront's "Night" and nobody groans; seconds later Gang of Four babysit Langley Schools' cover of "Good Vibrations" and nobody calls out Optimo for implying autistic kids are, ahem, "Damaged Goods." By the end of disc one, they've systematically overcome pop music's genetic barriersor maybe they've just proven pop never had them in the first place. HTKTDJ2 is the bloody glove that proves the only difference between 20th Century Steel Band and the Rapture is how much the lead singer paid for his man perm.
2 Many DJs' Essential Mix poses far fewer existential questions. Recorded live a day after New Year's on BBC Radio 1, the mix contains that same bleak bastard pop message, but unlike Optimo, 2 Many DJs aren't nihilistic. If anything, they're absurd, fusing the most disparate wax for larfs and slopping together a track listing whose recklessness is its greatest virtue. Norwegian pop queen Annie sings a Brechtian boy-toy pastiche over macho Queens of the Stone Age riffing; M.I.A. galang-a-langs Jimi Hendrix (how's that for purple haze, Cam?); Jay-Z cops ZZ's cheap sunglasses; Kraftwerk, of all cyborgs, drop it like it's hot. Hedonistic and willfully lawless, 2 Many DJs' mix is its own diversion.
Oddly enoughespecially after all this "U.S. dance is dead" stuffNew York has produced a more optimistic mix than either of these. WNYU's Tim Sweeney doesn't boast Optimo's precision or 2 Many DJs' insobriety, but he respects his tracks and tells a better story: Grace Jones's "Walking in the Rain" to Yoko's "Walking on Thin Ice" to Mu's "Let's Get Sick" is good fiction. Thoughtfully reconfigured, the tracks actually sound more distinctive together than on their own, a straw in McSweeney's Sparks can. In the club, where faces and tracks inevitably become one big sweaty blur, there's always at least one strong-willed prude.

Tired of wasting time with unqualified leads ?
by T3 Direct Marketing, Window Shopper
- Created: June 10, 2011, 12:04 pm
Business to business telemarketing or b2b telemarketing is rapidly becoming the best kept secret for the nation's leading companies. Well known brands like Alfac, Mutual of Omaha and Star HR are flocking to domestic telemarketing call centers like T3 Direct Marketing which provides high quality sales appointments with executive level decision makers. Their services of choice are b2b appointment setting, pay-for-performance 401k appointment setting and guaranteed PEO appointment setting, which promise the greatest ROI (return on investment). T3 Direct Marketing is a frontrunner, in domestic call centers offering guaranteed appointment setting and telemarketing services.
Contrary to popular stereotypes, this new breed of elite telemarketing call center is primarily based out of the United States. They hire college graduates with high-level vocabularies, who pitch services along with a polite request for a twenty minute meeting. T3 Direct Marketing appointments are made almost exclusively with high level decision makers, and firms can either accept or deny the appointments at will.
Hiring a telemarketing company no longer carries the social stigma it used to, and prominent firms in the U.S .are cashing in. With the recession still looming large in the minds of American consumers, these firms depend on guaranteed 401k appointment setting and guaranteed PEO appointment setting services to generate leads from their target market share. These 401k appointment setting and PEO appointment setting services are becoming the newest recession-proof, in-demand industry in the nation.
For more information about b2b appointment setting, guaranteed 401k appointment setting and guaranteed PEO appointment setting services:Please visit us on the web at : http://www.t3directusa.com

Best Laptops, Ultrabooks and Hybrids 2015
Is now the right time to buy a new laptop? It's often hard to decide, but our best laptop round-up picks out the best ultrabooks and best hybrids right now and ones worth waiting for.
One of the most annoying things about buying a new laptop is finding out a newer, better one is due out weeks after you bought yours. That's why our pick of the best laptops and best ultrabooks is split into two sections – we've included the best laptops available right now and the ones worth waiting for.
We've updated our list with three new models, two of which could be considered the standout laptop of the year. The Dell XPS 13 2015 and 13-inch MacBook Pro 2015 are two of the best we've come across in terms of design, battery life, screen quality and performance. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2015, meanwhile, is a classy laptop with a generous range of business features.
Apple's new 12-inch version of the MacBook has also made our list of laptops to look out for. It features a stunning design and dramatically overhauled keyboard and trackpad, and joins the Toshiba Satellite Click Mini in our selection of the most impressive upcoming laptops. We'll be publishing our review soon.
Browse the list below, or hit the 'Next' arrow to begin our round-up.

Intel Processors Explained
Intel has a selection of new processors, all of which offer improved performance while using less power. This means the latest laptops and tablets that use the new Intel 5th generation Core i and new Intel Core M processors will have better battery life and run cooler.
Because of the latter, many of the new laptops and hybrids have smaller, quieter fans – some might even have no fan at all. They're also lighter, thinner and faster, all of which makes waiting a good idea.
If you're unsure whether the laptop you're looking at has a new processor, check the spec sheet for what 'generation' of Intel processor is included. A "4th generation Core i" processor means an older, but still very good, processor. New ones are labelled "5th generation Core i processor" in the spec sheet. Older machines are still worth considering if you find a good deal, though.

What kind of laptop should I buy?
A lot will depend on how much you have to spend, but here's a quick summary of the options to help you decide.
Laptop Tablet Hybrid – (£300 to £1,000 or more)
If you've ever been tempted by an iPad, but still need a Windows laptop, then a hybrid is a good choice. There's a huge amount of choice in both size and price. The main things to consider are how much you want to spend and how you're going to use it. Need a laptop more than a tablet? Go bigger and more expensive. The opposite is true if you really want a tablet that you can use as a tablet.
Convertible Laptop – (£500 to £1,000 or more)
This is a twist on the hybrid that differs in execution. Pure hybrids have detaching tablet segments that connect to a keyboard, while convertibles are normal laptops with clever hinges that rotate. They're a good choice if you mainly need a laptop but would like a little flexibility.
Thin & Light Laptop – (£700 to £1,000 or more)
Sometimes referred to as 'Ultrabooks', a thin and light laptop will have an 11-inch or 13-inch screen and… well, be thin and light. The MacBook Air is a thin and light laptop, and there are many Windows alternatives.
Desktop Replacement – (£250 to £1,000 or more)
This describes any laptop with a larger 15-inch or 17-inch screen and they vary hugely in price. They're good workhorses with large, easy-to-use screens. Spend anything over £600 and you gain some advanced features and better-quality screens that are great for films.
Multimedia Laptop – (£1,000 to £2,000 or more)
These are for more serious users who want to regularly edit video and RAW photo files. These laptops are about all-out performance and have high-quality screens. If you're not sure you need to spend this much, you probably don't.
Google Chromebook – (£150 to £350)
If you're a big Google user then its cheap laptops are worth considering. They use its Chrome OS operating system and rely heavily on web apps. They're simple and cheap and lack the bloatware, such as anti-virus, that often plagues cheap Windows laptops.

Penguins hoping a little defense goes a long way
Updated: January 17, 2013, 3:19 PM ETAssociated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Marc-Andre Fleury didn't even bother to look at the tape.
Video evidence of a 5-1 loss to Philadelphia in Game 6 of last year's Stanley Cup playoffs wasn't required for the Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender to relive every agonizing moment. He spent the early portions of the offseason worrying about it before permanently deleting it from his memory.
"I forgot about the games, but not about what happened," Fleury said.
Good idea.
The whipping served as a fitting ...

I was very surprised to see Krzysztof not throw more punches. I thought for sure he'd come out swinging like a wild man, but nope he didn't!
Funny part is, if you watch the fight, you'll see that Krzysztof wasn't taken to the ground. He actually pulled guard from standing up. It's as if he wanted to be on the ground.
Hmm.. Krzysztof and a ground game????

- Do you own shares of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: CGX )?
- Did you purchase any of your shares prior to October 24, 2013?
- Do you think the proposed buyout price is too low?
- Do you want to discuss your rights?
Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential legal claims against the board of directors of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. ("Consolidated Graphics" or the "Company") (NYSE: CGX) regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law related to the Company's entry into an agreement to be acquired by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company ("RRD") (NASDAQ GS: RRD) in a transaction valued at approximately $620 million.
Click here to learn more: http://www.rigrodskylong.com/investigations/consolidated-graphics-inc-cgx.
Under the terms of the agreement, public shareholders of Consolidated Graphics would receive a combination of 34.44 in cash and a fixed exchange ratio of 1.651 shares of RRD common stock for each share of Consolidated Graphics they own. Based on RRD's closing stock price on October 23, 2013, Consolidated Graphics shareholders would have received consideration valued at approximately $62.00 per share.The investigation concerns whether Consolidated Graphics's board of directors failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best possible value for Consolidated Graphics's shareholders before entering into an agreement with RRD. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has set a price target for Consolidated Graphics stock at $65.00 per share. If you own the common stock of Consolidated Graphics and purchased your shares before October 24, 2013, if you have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or if you wish to discuss these matters or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Seth Rigrodsky or Gina Serra at Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 825 East Gate Boulevard, Suite 300, Garden City, New York 11530, by telephone at (888) 969-4242; by e-mail to email@example.com, or at: http://www.rigrodskylong.com/investigations/consolidated-graphics-inc-cgx.
