Play It Safe in 2013 With Auto Accident App
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) EVANSTON, WY -- (Marketwire) -- 12/28/12 -- Platinum Peak's Auto Accident App has proven itself to be a reliable, honest chronicler of car wrecks. The cutting edge developers of this application have come up with a series of updates for both iPhone and Android that make the system perform at an even higher level.
Safety experts tout the Auto Accident App as the only mobile phone adjunct that can deliver immediate, on-the-scene, live help to accident victims. Nobody plans to be involved in an accident, and that's exactly why the experts urge everyone to load Auto Accident App onto their communication platforms.
Signing up for Auto Accident App -- for free -- is as simple as taking a picture of your driver's license, vehicle registration and insurance coverage. That puts your iPhone or Android platform on split-second notice if you become involved in an accident. You don't need to worry about not being able to forward information to an accident agent. The information you collect on your phone synchronizes to our secure server in real time, and a customer service agent, available 24/7, is alerted immediately, and will contact you at the accident scene to provide any necessary assistance. This is a system that never sleeps.
Among the upgrades developed recently is one that strengthens the stability of Auto Accident App on iPhone and Android platforms. This will help ensure that the information needed to deliver assistance to accident victims gets through clearly to responsible parties. This goes along with performance improvements associated with specific carriers. Also, the customer service application has been upgraded to ensure registered clients provide the most efficient assistance to its registered users.
Another improvement developed for the Auto Accident App makes it easier and faster for family and friends to be alerted if a loved one has been involved in an accident. The newly enhanced accident reporting procedures allow clients to stay ahead of the post-accident melee that quite often ensues when legal matters take center stage. This must have app has also fine-tuned its accident detection features for more accuracy.
The smartest thing to do should this holiday season present you with a new mobile phone would be to download the Auto Accident App -- again, for free. Parents can relieve some of the anxiety connected with their teenage drivers by making sure the application accompanies any mobile phone gift. In fact, anyone that gets a new phone, or already has one, can create their own peace of mind by downloading the Auto Accident App. Many parents across the country may find their teenagers request having a phone already equipped with the application. Schools in America are being encouraged to inform students about the safety features associated with the Auto Accident App. That's a great bottom-line effort capable of helping keep your children much safer.

Only for myself 1b. Available to all 2a. Show only 2b. Show and allow ordering Into: 3a. Private 3b. Public, show only 3c. Public, show and allow ordering The current option set allows 2x2=4 different settings, but with only 3 unique results. That's why I propose to merge them into a single option with 3 settings. Besides that it's a little confusing that while you select "Only for myself" you still have to choose whether you just want to show your model to everybody or whether you want to show it and allow ordering. Besides that, I always want to check the printed model myself before I allow ordering. Just to make sure things work the way they should. Right now the option defaults when uploading are to show and allow ordering. I understand this helps filling the public model database, but up to now I have always selected private mode when uploading. And this seems a more logical default value to me.]]> jvo 2010-09-26T08:19:36-00:00 Re: Availability options http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=18357&th=3531#msg_18357 A little poll on the default option when uploading a new model.]]> jvo 2010-09-26T08:24:47-00:00 Re: Availability options http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=18494&th=3531#msg_18494 I've forwarded your suggestion, thanks!

If hidden it is always order able. anyone you give URL to should know better then to order if there is a note in description saying(WARNING NOT TESTED) A tested in box would be a nice informative option to let customers know if you have tested it or not. This being completely to the discretion of the shop. It shows tested if you select it, it shows nothing if you don't.]]> mctrivia 2010-11-16T17:48:11-00:00 Re: Availability options http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=20905&th=3531#msg_20905 Could someone please confirm that if I set Model Availability to ''Only for Myself" then nobody else can view my model, even if I set Model View State to "Show and Allow Ordering"? Does the 'view of this product' count = my own views or does this show that someone else has viewed it? Also, if I change the Model View State to "Hidden' then the price of the product appears on the My Designs page. Why is this? It's still hidden right? ]]> foonle 2010-11-25T09:39:36-00:00 Re: Availability options http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=20909&th=3531#msg_20909 mctrivia 2010-11-25T11:43:26-00:00

WeatherBug, Inc. Key Developments
Earth Networks is making it easier to get the weather information due to the new Pulse API. The Pulse API delivers data from the weather and lightning detection networks -- operated by Earth Networks - WeatherBug -- in addition to other weather sources, including the NWS and WMO. Pulse API offers data from the company's exclusive real-time nationwide network of 10,000 WeatherBug stations; cloud-to-ground and in-cloud lightning data from the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network; and forecasts that refresh every few minutes from more than 2.6 million locations worldwide. Pulse API also utilizes the performing models and quality-controlled weather data to provide the most accurate information. The Pulse API is a suite of data feeds designed for the diverse needs of novice developers with small-scale projects to large enterprises and research organizations requiring precise, accurate and reliable weather information: Pulse Basic: Starting at $20, it's the perfect option for students and aspiring app developers who need local weather data, 10-day forecasts and alerts from National Weather Service to complete smaller projects or to build and test their apps. Pulse Plus: Starting at $150, it's a smart choice for small- to mid-sized organizations developing apps and working on projects that require radar and maps, and data such as the UV index and air quality forecasts. Pulse Pro: Starting at $300, it's the choice for larger enterprises, such as research organizations, government agencies, and industries that include emergency management, utilities, aviation, transportation, and sports and recreation that must stay one step ahead of the weather with detailed maps and forecasts. Pulse Premium: Customized data feeds including lightning, Earth Network's exclusive Dangerous Thunderstorm Alerts (DTAs), and other weather information.
WeatherBug, a brand of Earth Networks, has introduced expanded forecasts, enhanced information and new customization options to its app for Android phones and tablets. Plus, WeatherBug is also debuting a new look-and-feel for its Android tablet app following a redesign of its Android phone app, which was unveiled to users in spring 2012. Key new features for WeatherBug 3.1 for Android include: 10-day forecasts; new hurricane center and Spanish language support. While other apps provide weather data that's up to an hour old, WeatherBug reports truly live, local conditions every 2 seconds from very own network of 10,000 neighborhood-level, professional-grade sensors - the largest local network on the planet. Now WeatherBug provides the extended 10-day forecast - based on neighborhood-level data and fine-tuned algorithms - to help plan for the weather ahead. With one click, tablet users can also read news updates from the WeatherBug Meteorology Team. Users can select Spanish as the default language for current and extended forecasts. Exclusive features to WeatherBug include: spark lightning alerts and faster severe weather alerts. WeatherBug includes Spark, an exclusive feature delivering personalized lightning strike information based on device's GPS location, favorite locations regularly check, and on the spot where loved ones might be at the moment.
WeatherBug announced that it promoted Mike Lombardi to vice president and general manager of consumer to reflect his expanding role within the company. In this position, Lombardi will continue to oversee advertising sales, sales operations as well as the subscription products for the WeatherBug consumer brand across mobile and online platforms from the company's New York City offices. Lombardi joined WeatherBug in 2005 as vice president of East Coast sales. In 2007, he was promoted to vice president of national sales. Prior to his current position, Lombardi served as vice president of advertising sales and marketing.

Mary RoachAdam Leith Gollner possesses a talent as rare and exotic as a coconut pearl. I opened this book, Gollner's first, expecting the standard nutmeat of competent nonfiction and found instead something lustrous and exhilarating. Gollner's is not the sort of talent one can develop. It is genetic, physical—an exquisite sensitivity of tongue, nose and eye…At one point early in the book, the author explains how it's possible to graft branches of different, say, citrus species onto one plant. A Chilean farmer, he writes, recently made headlines with a tree that bears plums, peaches, cherries, apricots, almonds and nectarines. It's how I see Gollner: the talents of a food writer, investigative journalist, poet, travel writer and humorist grafted onto one unusual specimen. Long may he thrive.

Little is know about his origin, except that Twilight had to magically hatch him from an egg as part of the entrance exam for the school she attended in Canterlot.Spike gets along well with all the main six, he also seems to have strong feelings for Rarity.CreationHe is based on the Spike of each generation of My Little Pony since G1, one of which was dubbed a princess despite being male.AbilitiesAs Twilight's assistant, he performs many menial tasks, including taking dictation and cooking. He can also play instruments, sing and dance.Dragon AbilitiesHis scales serve as a natural armor that is highly resistant to heat, punctures, and so on. His insides are also tough, as he is able to consume anything from spoiled food to gem stones without ill effects. He can breathe green fire whose primary purpose is to magically transport items (usually letters to Princess Celestia) over great distances. Like other dragons, if his greed is left unchecked, he will physically mature at a rapid rate while becoming increasingly violent.WeaknessHe is still a baby dragon, and needs lots of rest. Due to this, he has low stamina. He has an unrequited crush on Rarity, which tends to cloud his judgment and even make him physically weak in her presence.

Remedy is too busy with Alan Wake lately. That's what they wanted to focus on. Rockstar published the first two games. Remedy did have input on the third game though. Sam Lake, writer and the model of Max in the first game, said himself that he liked the direction they took and that it seemed like a natural next step for Max Payne. Lake is even co-writing the prequel comic with Dan Houser.
What I loved the most about Max Payne 3 is how they handled Max. The story by itself is by the numbers, but what makes it great is that it's just a vehicle for Max's character and how it gave him purpose. Starting from a rock bottom, substance abuser to a man who decides to take back control of his life and shape something of it. Even the song "Tears" that plays in the airport terminal shootout is symbolic. The lyrics being Max's wife telling him to finally let go, of her and his daughter. Finding purpose amidst chaos.

I doubt there would be a problem. Rockstar went to Remedy for notes on Max Payne 3. That shows respect to the source material and considering on interviews with Sam Lake, they are on pretty good terms.

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California issued a ruling on January 20, 2011 concluding that a legal malpractice action alleging negligent prosecution of a patent fell within the court's exclusive jurisdiction and that, therefore, removal to federal court was proper.
In Gerawan Farming v. Worrel & Worell (2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 8447, Case No. 1:10cv02011 AWIDLB), a client fruit grower filed a state court legal malpractice action against two law firms, alleging that they prepared and prosecuted various patents in a way that created a risk that a trademark belonging to the client could be damaged or invalidated. The law firms removed the action to federal court on the ground that it had exclusive jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 1338. The client filed a motion to remand, asserting that any federal issues raised by the complaint were tangential.

Hemmingways smoke great ROTT
This is a discussion on A Newbie's Guide to Good ROTT Cigars within the General Cigar Discussion forums, part of the The Cigar Lounges at Puff category; After struggling with the question of what to smoke while waiting for my cigars to rest or age and reading ...
After struggling with the question of what to smoke while waiting for my cigars to rest or age and reading this thread: Resting cigars and actually smoking I have decided the we need a go-to thread for newbies like myself who need to know just what cigars they can safely smoke while waiting for their preferred brands to rest or age.
In my limited experience, Padrons seem to be great ROTT.
Please chime in with your favorites ROTT, and let's get a good reference thread going to help out the Puff community.
Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label (provided, of course, that they are at proper temp/RH)
I'm not sure if you mean ROTT literally or like within 2 weeks of getting it. I usually prefer to let my sticks acclimate to 65%/70 for about 14 days before I start burning them. I tried smoking a My Father Le Bijou 1922 literally hours after I got the box... Not recommended.
While this will likely be a great thread for what's currently good ROTT, there's already some great information on here. I'd recommend reading these two stickies:
Big List of Cigars
Newbie Mistakes...
Both are well thought-out and full of helpful information.
Padron Annivsary, probably the best B&M cigar out there.
The x000 series are ok ROTT (the do seem to get less harsh with a little age but not remarkeably better).
Original Montecristos (brown label) if you like a milder smoke.
I'm hoping to create a one-stop place for people who are just starting their collections.
Thanks for the link Herf
I just read the "newbie mistakes". that could be a sticky. Some good basic information and a lot of common sense but, man is he long winded
Why am I wasting my time talking to an A-hole like you when I could be doing something much more dangerous... like rearrageing my humidor.
every padron i've smoked seems just fine ROTT, same can be said for anejos.
illusiones too.
Thanks for all the replies so far.
I am going to start a list so that it's easier for people to quickly get a idea of what to look for.
so far we have:
- Padron Anniversary or x000 series
- Arturo Fuente Anejo
- Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label
- Illusione
- Arturo Fuente Hemingway
- Montecristo - Original
- Nica Libre
- Indian Tabac
- Hoyo de Monterrey (NC)
Last edited by Seasick Sailor; 01-28-2011 at 04:05 PM.
While not 'high class' Nica Libre, and any Indian Tabac will get burned right out of the CI box, I've not noticed a significant change in them after 2-3 weeks. Never had to let a Hoyo de Monterrey (NC) rest either. Just about anything else gets a rest.
Here's a couple of other threads that have some info that might be helpful. There are also a couple in the Habanos section, but I didn't put those links here.
What is your favorite ROTT?
ROTT smoke
Puff the Magic Blowfish lived in the sea; But how he smoked underwater is a mystery to me.
Hmmmm - most of the threads I've read since hanging out around here say Padron x000 definitely smoke better with age. I hope so - the one I had ROTT was barely a "meh" on a scale of "puke" to "OMG!"
Haven't gotten around to aging any yet, so I can't say more than that.

ClassicsOnline Home » TCHAIKOVSKY: Suites No. 3 and No. 4, 'Mozartiana'
Classic CD
"These are played with fine spirit, glowing colour and warmth"
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893)
Suite No.3 in G Major, Op. 55
Suite No.4 in G Major ("Mozartiana"), Op. 61
Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky belonged to the first generation of
Russian composers to have the undoubted advantage of professional musical training at the
Conservatory in St. Petersburg, newly established by Anton Rubinstein, under the patronage
of the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna. Abandoning the career intended for him, as an
official in the Ministry of Justice, he turned to music, and followed his studies with
employment on the staff of the new Moscow Conservatory, directed by Nikolai Rubinstein,
brother of the founder of the institution in St. Petersburg. Diffident in character, and
subject to acute nervous depression, he suffered considerably from an unfortunate
marriage, contracted in 1877 in an ingenuous attempt to conceal his own homosexual
inclinations, a match followed by immediate separation and divorce.
For some years Tchaikovsky enjoyed the moral and financial
support of a rich widow, Nadezhda von Meck. a woman he was never to meet, although he
stayed at her estate in Brailov during her absence. Her help allowed him to withdraw from
the drudgery of teaching at the Moscow Conservatory and to devote himself to composition.
With her he continued to exchange letters which reveal something of the thoughts and
feelings behind the music he was writing.
It has been suggested that Tchaikovsky's death, in 1893, was
suicide, forced upon him by a court of honour of former students of the School of
Jurisprudence to avoid a threatened scandal, resulting from a liaison with the son of a
nobleman. Whatever the truth of this, the official cause of death, announced as cholera,
enabled his passing to be mourned as it should have been, his achievement in Russian music
having become increasingly apparent at home and abroad. Tchaikovsky might have appeared to
Vienna critics such as Eduard Hanslick as irredeemably Russian. At home, however, he wore
a much more cosmopolitan air than the group of avowedly nationalist composers with their
self-appointed leaders Balakirev and Cesar Cui, declared enemies of the Rubinsteins and
the "German" training offered by the Conservatories.
In the early summer of 1884 Tchaikovsky was staying at Kamenka,
the estate of his brother-in-law Lev Davidov. He had already achieved much, and yet, in
his habitual manner, he was again questioning his own powers as a composer, fearing that
he had nothing left to say. Entries in his diary in May express these anxieties, as he
struggled with the composition of the third of his orchestral suites. In fact the work,
particularly in its final set of variations, was to prove one of his most effective. On
its first performance, which took place in St. Petersburg in January 1885, it was an
instant success.
The Elegié, which forms the first movement, replaced
Tchaikovsky's original conception, Contrastes, something that he had found intractable and
detestably commonplace. The movement combines subtle colouring of orchestration with the
composer's great melodic facility, in music of serene happiness, inspired, perhaps, by his
growing affection for his young nephew Bob Davidov, an infatuation recorded in his
diaries. The Waltz of the second movement seems also to have caused considerable trouble.
It opens with ominous hints of sadness, dispelled by the turn that the opening melody
takes, with its suggestions of Russian folk-song. There is a middle section of greater
intensity, before the opening mood is restored. The third movement, a Scherzo, with a
contrasted central section, is in the rhythm of a tarantelle and is followed by a Theme
and Variations, the best known movement in the whole suite. The characteristically Russian
theme is followed by twelve variations. The first of these combines the melody played by
the plucked strings with a fascinating countersubject entrusted to flutes and clarinets.
This is followed by a variation of feverish activity and a third in which flute and second
clarinet share the melody, with a woodwind accompaniment. A fourth variation brings with
it the suggestion of a ballet, with its romantic B minor key and colourful orchestration.
A fugal version of the material comes next, succeeded by a brief and energetic dance. The
seventh variation brings the serenity of a liturgical chant for the woodwind, while the
eighth allows a cor anglais its version of the melody. Melancholy is dispersed in the
variation that follows, ending with a cadenza for solo violin, to introduce a variation
principally for the violin and replete I with choreographic implications. The whole
orchestra joins in the penultimate variation, interrupted by a drum-roll and fanfares to
usher in a final extended Polacca, a festive and elaborate section, of symphonic
The fourth and final suite written by Tchaikovsky was composed
in 1887. He had first entertained the idea of writing a suite based on pieces by Mozart in
1884. The impetus for putting the project into practice came with the imminence of the
centenary of the first performance of Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, due to fall on 29th
October 1887. The completed suite was first performed at a Russian Music Society concert
in Moscow on 26th November. Tchaikovsky made use of four pieces by Mozart. For the first
movement he chose the Gigue that Mozart had written in the music-book of a Leipzig
organist in 1789. He followed this keyboard piece with an arrangement of a Minuet from
1780. The third movement is based on Liszt's keyboard transcription of Mozart's Ave verum, introduced here by woodwind and harp,
followed by muted strings in a confection far enough removed from Mozart's original
conception. The final movement takes Mozart's variations on Gluck's Unser dumme Pobel meint. The ten variations allow
Tchaikovsky to employ all the varied and delicate colouring of his orchestral palette,
with a violin cadenza leading to the ninth and a clarinet cadenza before the same
instrument leads to the return of the original theme. The suite, eventually known as
Mozartiana, in spite of the composer's earlier misgivings, is pure Tchaikovsky in texture,
his tribute to a composer that he regarded as his God and an attempt to introduce to a
wider public keyboard pieces by Mozart that at the time were relatively little known.
National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland
The RTÉ Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1947 as part of the
Radio and Television service in Ireland. With its membership coming from France, Germany,
Britain, Italy, Hungary, Poland and Russia, it drew together a rich blend of European
culture. Apart from its many symphony concerts, the orchestra came to world-wide attention
with its participation in the famous Wexford Opera Festival, an event broadcast in many
parts of the world. The orchestra now enjoys the facilities of a fine new concert hall in
central Dublin, where it performs with the world's leading conductors and soloists. In
1990 the RTÉ Symphony Orchestra was augmented and renamed the National Symphony Orchestra
of Ireland. Under its Principal Conductor, George Hurst, it quickly established itself as
one of Europe's most adventurous orchestras with programmes featuring many 20th century
compositions. The orchestra has now embarked upon an extensive recording project for the
Naxos and Marco Polo labels and will record music by Nielsen, Tchaikovsky, Goldmark,
Rachmaninov, Brian and Scriabin.
Stefan Sanderling
Stefan Sanderling, General Music Director of the Brandenburg
Philharmonic Orchestra and the Opera in Potsdam, was born in 1964, and received his early
musical training from his father, the distinguished conductor Kurt Sanderling, and his
mother, a professor of double bass at the Berlin Musikhochschule. As a child he studied
first the piano then the clarinet and continued his training at the Leipzig Conservatory,
under the aegis of Kurt Masur. In 1983 he began to assist Rolf Reuter at the Berlin
Komische Opera and continued his studies in 1985 in Hallé, where he worked as Assistant
Conductor at the Opera after completing his course. From 1988 until 1990 he was in the
United States of America, studying at the University of Southern California, participating
in the Summer Concerts of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Institute and conducting at the
Tanglewood Summer Music festival, where he worked with Bernstein and Ozawa. In 1990 he
returned to Germany to take up the position of Chief Conductor of the Brandenburg
Philharmonic Orchestra, a remarkable achievement for one so young. Engagements have
included appearances with the Dresden Staatskapelle, the Dresden, Rotterdam and Los
Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.

Maintaining system integrity with package management helpers
Clear the Decks
Linux has several convenient package management systems, but they are not entirely free of weaknesses. We show you how to keep the RPM package management system permanently stable and how to get rid of some ballast with just two small programs: rpmorphan and rpmrestore.
One of Linux's many highlights are the package management systems that make installing new application programs or deleting unneeded software far easier for the user.
The RPM system, which was originally designed by Red Hat and is now used by many other Linux derivatives, is supplemented by a variety of add-on programs that ensure the integrity of the operating system and thus permanently ensure a consistent basis without regular reinstalls.

Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: Banking on his civil service career and social activism over the years through his non-government organisation "Prayas", the Congress candidate from Sangam Vihar, Amod Kanth, sounds confident of victory in the Assembly polls.
Former Special Commissioner of Delhi Police, Mr. Kanth is contesting from a constituency that has been carved out of Tughlakabad after delimitation. "I have had a long innings as a police officer. I was a magistrate before joining the Indian Police Service. Prayas has given me exposure to the social sector. People think I am an outsider in the area. The national head office of Prayas is located in Sangam Vihar itself," he said at a press meet on Friday.
"About 45 centres of Prayas are located in Sangam Vihar and adjacent areas. So I am very much an insider. With my experience in the area, I will be the most successful." The former police officer said the real challenge for him was to provide water, electricity and sanitation in the area. "When water from the Sonia Vihar plant reaches here, scarcity of water will be addressed. The roads are bad, too, so we will have to plan a network of roads. I also want to extend health programmes and education programmes. We will start self-help groups for women."
"I can't promise the moon, but there are ways to plan things and solve problems," he said, observing that the Delhi Police Commissioner should be accountable to the Chief Minister and that Capital's law and order should be part of the State Government.
However, Mr. Kanth's candidature has led to a lot of resistance from local Congress leaders. Two party rebels, Mohammad Anwar Alam and Vir Singh Bidhuri, are fighting against him.

hey everyone. i played this game against a stronger player than me. i dont think i made any big mistakes except in one of the last moves where a lost my queen but other than that, i was wondering if i can get some help analysing my game?
Looks like a sound well contested game.
Not sure about 12.Be3, if your opponent had played 12...c4, you'd have been on the back foot.
What did you mean after move 18 where you commented "trying to deal with the next move C5'?
no i was playing as black so i guese i should have played c4?
btw the diagram is fixed :)
Ah, I see!
12...c4 was definitely the move to play , White's Bishop has nowhere to go, so you gain material.
Have you tried 3...Bb4? Also, why did you play 11...g6?
Have you tried 3...Bb4? Also, why did you play 11...g6?
You should already know why he played 11...g6, which is a perfectly sound move.
He asked for "help" btw...
Aaron. move number 12 assuming you are playing in black it was a blunder. c5-c4 and the bishop is lost.
yea after the comments, i realised i should have played c4 thanks for the help :)

I couldn't really understand all the gushing over his main course though what's a Pot Noodle got to do with the Flintstones? and where was the veg?
I love a bit of beef but i think you need to balance the protien and carbs with a few greens.

Alright, here's a little background. I've been friends with (we'll call him Joe) Joe for about two years now. Over the last two years, we've become really good friends, but not best friends (at least in my eyes). We worked together at once place, now we work together at another place. I know his family very well, they always come into where we work and chat with me for long periods of time.
Today, while I was at work, a mutual friend (we all work together) pulled me aside and told me that she had to talk to me. Apparently, Joe was lamenting how he is in love with someone, but he can't do anything about it. When pressed, he told our mutual friend that it was his best friend. When pressed, he explained it was me. Now, first of all, it's news to me that he considers me his best friend, let alone that he's in love with me. I'm married and even if I wasn't married, he's not my type at all. The thought that she's lying has occurred to me - but I really don't think she'd lie about something like this and it kind of explains his behavior lately. Our mutual friend wanted to tell me, because she thought that I needed to know how he felt (especially if he's telling people behind my back - that means he might come talk to me about it).
I'm not really sure what to do or say at this point, or if I should even do or say anything. I'm flattered, but I mean, it's weird. I know I'm a bit of a flirt, but come on, I'm that way with everyone (I don't discriminate! :D ), so I doubt it's that... He knows nothing will ever happen, so I'm not worried about him pulling moves on me, but it's really weird working with him now.
Anyone ever had this happen to them? Come on, give me your words of wisdom!

Finally, looking for a late-evening spot with Khadijah, née Elaine, my Rubenesque homegirl, we called, and voilàcome on down. The place was still bubbling with the packed excitement that signals a hot dining venue. We ascended the stairs to the formal dining area, Elaine huffing at every step, bemoaning the failure of a glorious redesign that allowed for no bad tables, but alas, also no elevator. Her mutterings subsided only with the arrival of the tandoori-style shrimp that started her variation on our $54 prix fixe. She tucked in, trying to analyze the complex spice blend. Soon, though, she was muttering again, this time about the scant two shrimp that constituted her appetizer. I, meanwhile, was delighted by the variety of textures in the mix of spicy leaves that made up my salad. The theme carried over into a salmon entrée zipped up nicely with some mustard greens. Elaine, who's eaten lamb from Kuwait to Karachi, loved the ineffably complex taste of her few pink slices, which came in waves, with a hit of . . . was that black cardamom? swamped by the next before the ID could be completed. Once again, however, the portion was small. She was placated only by the arrival of a chocolate confection that disappeared as I was spooning up my fez-shaped mound of creamy vanilla-bean kulfi. We left dazzled by the chef, pampered by the staff, and semisated. I just hoped I could visit again.

Three months of telephone torture ensued before I snagged another reservation, this time for late lunch with a voracious English friend whose family calls her "the dustbin." After we giggled at the over-the-top language on the à la carte menu, she ordered a wild mushroom rasam, a mix of woodsy funghi punctuated with what we thought were golden raisins, and followed it with steel head salmon ($20), observing that the accompanying kokum gastrique sounded like a perfect name for a tipsy cancan dancer. We stopped giggling though when we sampled: The plumlike fruit infused the thick sauce with a tang that kept getting sharper but never stopped complementing the fatty flesh. The curry-leaf marinade of my excellent flank steak ($19) was longer on exoticism than taste. The kulfi ($8) arrived with a flourish of edible gold leaf that I consumed conspicuously before tasting my friend's sumptuous chocolate-stuffed samosas ($8), which were citrusy with kumquat. Sated for real this time, almost stupefied, we staggered off into the afternoon, twin spice girls with spreading waists and no confidence that we'd ever get into the place again.

BOISE --- Some doctors are once again making house calls. St. Alphonsus Medical Center in Boise recently unveiled their new Mobile Health Clinic. Doctors are using the mobile unit to reach patients who can't go to their clinics.
The van is very well outfitted; it s got everything we need to do a primary healthcare visit, said Dr. Chip Roser.
The mobile unit is designed to bring healthcare to populations in and around Boise that can't easily access healthcare on their own.
They walk out their front door and they can be seen, said Roser.
On Monday, the mobile clinic was at an apartment complex in Boise that houses refugees from all over the world.
They come to us with a huge lag of healthcare. They've been in refugee camps from anywhere between five to 25 years with very limited access to healthcare, said Roser.
Dilli Mainali came to Boise just a month and a half ago from Bhutan. He's being treated by Dr. Roser for issues with his foot.
It's important that I'm getting help and I'm getting medication also, Mainali told us through an interpreter. There we did not get proper medication, but here we are getting proper medication.
Dr. Roser says although the thought of making house call is a distant memory for most, it s rewarding to offer this type of service to some of Idaho's newest residents.
They basically come from a place that has no healthcare what so ever. I think that they're very appreciative that we're trying to care for them and meet their healthcare needs, said Roser.
Those receiving care today were on Medicaid. The mobile unit was purchased thanks to a grant from Wal-Mart and the St. Alphonsus Foundation. Officials with St. Alphonsus say they're continuing to add new locations where they plan on seeing patients with the mobile unit.

Make no mistake: Apple's next iPhone could determine the near future of the company itself.
At more than half the company's first quarter revenue, Apple is more focused on keeping the iPhone refreshed than any other device it has in its roster. Thankfully during one of its quietest fiscal quarters, the company was still able to vastly surpass Wall Street expectations , and year-over-year results, by millions of devices.
Keeping the public interested in the iPhone remains a major challenge. What Apple has up its sleeve for the fall remains much of a mystery. However, there have been substantial leaks that could leave audiences pleasantly surprised.
All eyes are on the premium model, what we believe to be called the iPhone 6. Following prior naming patterns — each major version has its own number and iterations are alphanumerical — things took a turn when the lower-cost iPhone 5c was announced. Thus far it has been widely considered a flop . Whether or not Apple will continue the model remains unknown.
Here's what we think we know about the iPhone 6, to date:
A brand new, larger, thinner design?
Many leaks have pointed to a brand new metal chassis and shell, perhaps taking a leaf from the iPhone 3G's book, in that it may land with slightly rounded corners and a thinner overall depth.
The outside bezel remains a mystery, but some have pointed to a thinner edge between the shell and the display.
It's also expected to land in a larger 4.7-inch display, which would keep video aspect ratio perfect, but also add another row of icons.
Recent Apple v. Samsung documentation showed the company was pushing for a larger device to compete with the "phablet" range of devices, notably from its main Korean smartphone maker rival. Another rumor points to the possibility of an even larger 5.5-inch model, but mainstream reports have widely dismissed the idea.
Increased screen resolution?
In his latest reports, 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman — a reliable source of pre-release Apple news — suggests a new sharper 1704x960 resolution display is in the works.
This particular resolution means developers would have no additional work to make their apps run on a larger screen. This would give a resolution density of between 356-416 pixels per inch, significantly higher than the 300 pixels per inch limitation of the human retina.
The size is important because this reduces the fragmentation of display and resolution screen sizes that has previously angered Apple developers.
A stronger sapphire-crystal screen?
A new sapphire screen would make the iPhone 6 screen significantly stronger and scratch resistant.
The scratch-proof crystal technology is already embedded in the Touch ID fingerprint sensor in the iPhone 5s, designed as such to prevent it from deteriorating.
Reports pointed to Apple ramping up sapphire crystal manufacturing in recent months, which could create as many as 200 million 5-inch iPhone 5 displays. Exactly where that leaves Corning's Gorilla Glass — presumably now a former Apple supplier — remains unclear.
Canonical, the maker of the Ubuntu operating system, which recently dipped into smartphone development, said Apple had bought up three years' worth of sapphire screens — allegedly for the iPhone 6.
Faster 802.11ac networking?
Wall Street and industry analysts, including Cowen analyst Timothy Arcuri have pointed to the iPhone supporting the latest 802.11ac wireless networking standard, which reaches speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second. It falls in line with Apple's efforts to bring the next-generation networking technology to its other devices, including AirPort routers and storage units.
