wholesale apparel
If you possess a clothing boutique, you will frequently have to restock the inventory after a specific clothing line is sold-out. Buying clothing at wholesale cost is an easy way to earn profit. Many retailers aimed at buying clothes at a low price then sell them in a high price.
wholesale clothing
Before you sell a product, you are required to have federal tax identification. The federal tax identification can be obtained in the IRS website. Having a business tax ID entitles you to open a bank account under your company name. By opening a company account, you are able to separate between your business and personal income. Additionally, you'll need a vendor license. Most wholesalers asks the customers to show the seller license. Without a vendor license, you won't be permitted to buy the clothing at wholesale price. The seller license proves that you've a physical retail store.
wholesale apparel
There are hundreds and thousands of wholesale fashion clothing suppliers in the marketplace. It is advisable to shop in the local store in your neighborhood. While at the local store, you are able to personally check the quality of the clothes. If you buy online, it will likely be more difficult to look for the legitimacy of the suppliers. It is advisable to buy from online store that show the current picture of the clothes. By analyzing the photo, you will know the condition of the garments. Types of places where you can shop for wholesale clothing online include eBay, Craigslist, Wholesale Central and etc. You should compare the prices between different Clothing wholesale stores to be able to find one that provides the cheapest deal. Wholesale clothing is generally bought from bulk. The greater the bulk order, the greater the discount you will get. You should only buy as much clothing as you need.

Rapper Kanye West punched a member of the LAX-based paparazzi today at the airport, TMZ has reported. In a text message, one of the photographers who regularly works at the airport said he was aware of the incident.
"Kanye West attacked paparazzi at LAX," that photographer wrote to me in a text message.
TMZ has pictures of paramedics treating the photographer and loading him into a Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance.
According to TMZ, Kanye went after a particularly aggressive photographer. The paparazzi was not affiliated with TMZ.
I recently spent a couple of days with LAX-based paparazzi, and what struck me is how friendly their relations are with many of the celebrities. Most stars expected to be photographed and happily accommodate the photographers. But every now and then, there is some violence, as it happened today.
I'm working on trying to figure out what happened.


text: i recently purchased a Molle vest, but i don't know how to attach the CamelBak ThermoBak 3L to it. I havent seen any references on how its attached using the D rings. The top D rings on the shoulder of the vest can probably attach to the top D rings of the CamelBak using webbing, but is there a way to attach the other 4 CamelBak D rinkgs to the Molle vest, if it is even needed. My intent is to not use the shoulder straps if i dont have to. any ideas or suggestions?

As the World Cup games roll on in Germany, many soccer fans have noticed more than the deft ball control, precise playmaking and flurries of yellow cards: With lust or envy, they have registered the physiques of the men on the pitch.
Pound for pound, professional soccer players are among the fittest team athletes in the world. In the course of a 90-minute game, they will cover as much as six miles, depending on the position they play. They spend 70 percent to 80 percent of the time running, often at a full sprint, while jumping, spinning, pivoting and kicking with pinpoint accuracy.

9 Unique Halloween Costumes Inspired By The News And Media This Decade
Halloween is right around the corner, and if you still don't have a great idea for a unique costume, you'd better start working fast. Here are Inventor Spot, we've covered Halloween costumes from a number of perspectives, from the hilarious to the terrifying, to those that make you gag. To put a little twist on things, I've created a list of costumes that come from the inspiration of the top media and pop culture events that have taken place in the new millennium. These costumes weren't necessarily the most popular ones used for dress up each year outlined, but they sure would have gotten people talking and given attention hogs their own piece of the media frenzy!
2009's Media Inspired Halloween Costume - The Swine Flu
2009 has been a big year for irrelevant media stories so far. With the Gosselins from Jon & Kate Plus 8 making major news headlines, and the Balloon Boy hoax capturing hearts and inspiring anger in people all over the world. Of course, one of the biggest events in pop culture also took place this year, with the unfortunate early demise of Michael Jackson...but what's consistently made major news headlines this year has been The Swine Flu.
This Swine Flu costume is sure to get a few laughs, with the pig nose, nurses outfit and box of Kleenex, but I'm not quite sure where the wings come in. Nonetheless, if you want to make a mockery of one of the bigger news events of the year, this Swine Flu costume kit just might be for you!
2008's Media Inspired Halloween Costume - Miley Cyrus & Hannah Montana
Sadly, one of the bigger news headlines in 2008 revolved around a Vanity Fair picture of Miley Cyrus that was rather revealing and lewd for the young Disney star, at least according to outraged parents and the media. This story certainly didn't fade very quickly, with everyone giving their own take!
While you certainly might not be encouraging your daughter to dress up in imitation of the scandalous cover this Halloween, Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus costumes haven't decreased in popularity with young girls, even in the wake of all this controversy. To get in on the media hype of 2008 with your costume, create your own Halloween garb inspired by Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana or go with one of the many prefabricated costume ideas.

Biographical Sketch
Nancy Ann Monteiro-Riviere, Ph.D., ACT, Fellow ATS, is a Professor of Investigative Dermatology and Toxicology in the Center for Chemical Toxicology Research and Pharmacokinetics, Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University (NCSU) in Raleigh NC. Dr. Monteiro-Riviere is also a Professor in the NCSU/UNC-CH Biomedical Engineering Faculty as well as being a Research Adjunct Professor in the Department of Dermatology, School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She received her B.S. in Biology (cum laude) from Stonehill College in North Easton, MA and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Anatomy from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. She completed post-doctoral training in Experimental Pathology / Toxicology at the Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology in Research Triangle Park, NC. She joined the faculty at NCSU in 1984. She is a Diplomat, Board Certified Forensic Examiner and lifetime fellow, and Diplomat, American Board of Forensic Medicine. She is a member of Sigma Xi and Phi Zeta honor societies. Dr. Monteiro-Riviere is Past-President of the Dermatotoxicology Specialty Section, and past-president of the In Vitro Specialty Section of the Society of Toxicology. She is a Fellow in the Academy of Toxicological Sciences and a member of the American College of Toxicology. She presently serves on the NIH Scientific Advisory Committee on Alternative Toxicological Methods (SACATM), USEPA Scientific Advisory Panel-Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), Health and Environmental Sciences Institute Nanomaterial Safety Committee, International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) Risk Sciences Institute Nanomaterial Toxicity Screening Working Group, Chair of the Board of Publications of the National Society of Toxicology and Editorial Boards of the Journal of Applied Toxicology, Journal of Toxicology-Cutaneous and Ocular, Toxicology In Vitro, and Toxicology Mechanisms and Methods and Associate Editor of Nanomedicine and Interdisciplinary Reviews. Dr. Monteiro-Riviere has published more than 180 publications, holds a US patent, and has been the recipient of 9.5 million dollars in extramural research support from various government and private sources. Her research interests relate to chemical absorption, drug delivery and mechanisms of chemical irritation to skin. Current research focuses on the impact of manufactured nanomaterials on human health and the environment. This research begins to assess the nature of interaction between manufactured nanoparticles and the skin; including dermal absorption, cutaneous toxicity as well as the ability to distribute to the skin after systemic exposure. These studies include iron oxide particles, quantum dots, multi-walled and single-walled carbon nanotubes and fullerene nanoparticles which are representatives of the broad spectrum of nanoparticles presently being used by industry and found in some consumer products. This research will define the boundaries of a dermal risk assessment for manufactured nanoparticle exposure.
Research Interests
Dr. Monteiro's research focuses on human occupational exposure by assessing chemical interactions and toxicity of environmental and novel pharmaceutical compounds and engineered nanomaterials. This involves assessing dermatotoxicity and absorption in both in vivo and in vitro model systems. Primarily, pig skin is used as a model because it is similar anatomically, physiologically and biochemically to human skin. These similarities play an important role in assessing the absorption of many compounds. Also, she is involved with integrating compound exposure with absorption to assess how chemical interactions with keratinocytes modify toxicity to the skin. She has been particularly interested in assessing the mechanism behind how multiple chemical exposures modulates interaction of a single chemical with keratinocytes and the interaction between nanomaterials. Skin function is assessed by studying proinflammatory cytokines using RT-PCR and changes in keratinocyte proteins using proteomics. An important interaction that is unique to chemical exposure to skin is the interaction that occurs with the lipids in the stratum corneum barrier. These have been explored using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) imaging as well as transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Model systems employed include human epidermal keratinocyte cell cultures as well as a unique perfused skin model developed in our Center that has been validated to be predictive of human absorption. She is fascinated by those problems involving exposure to skin of chemicals that modulates their subsequent absorption or activity either through changes induced in the stratum corneum lipid barrier or keratinocyte proteome. Current research relates to the impact of manufactured nanomaterials on human health and the environment. In addition, she has studied the mechanism of skin toxicity when model drugs are delivered by iontophoresis or electroporation, investigating how physical changes in membrane function or absorption pathways induced by electrical currents modify chemical interactions with membrane and cellular targets. Recently, she has applied these techniques to investigating the interaction of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with human keratinocytes. Exposure must be evaluated before the risk of this hazard can be determined in an occupational or environmental scenario. These findings suggest that the toxicology of these structures must be assessed before widespread public exposure so that appropriate protective measures can be developed.

Have you guys seen "Iron Man 3″? I have, and I recommend that you see it too, because it's a most enjoyable movie. The movie's title character is, of course, part of the Avengers. But have you ever wondered how the Avengers came to be, not according to last year's "Avengers" movie, but according to Stan "The Man" Lee? You — and your little Avenger — can find out by reading the Disney storybook app Avengers Origins: Assemble!
Released a year ago, Avenger Origins: Assemble recounts how, well, the Avengers were assembled. And the story within is narrated by Avengers creator Stan Lee himself.
Outside the story, Avengers Origins: Assemble also includes mini-games.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
These mini-games, which were added to the app just a couple of weeks after its launch last year, challenge you to defeat Namor and the Atlanteans by playing as Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, or the Hulk. Note, though, that you can choose to fight as the Hulk only if you also have Avengers Origins: Hulk on your device.
And now, thanks to the app's Avengers Team-Up feature, you can now play the mini-games in two-player mode across any two iOS devices on the same local Wi-Fi network. Of course, you and your companion get to choose two Avengers to play as in this mode.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later, Avengers Origins: Assemble is available in the App Store for $2.99.
Going back to "Iron Man 3," its official game, aptly called Iron Man 3 – The Official Game, is out now from Gameloft.

Hey all!
Just posting to say I'm still alive.
This summer's been rather busy with work and all, which would explain a lack of artwork.
I did get a chance to go to Bronycon again this year and it, once again, failed to disappoint. I had an excellent time with friends from last year and got to meet some awesome new people this year. Just an all around fantastic con and I'm already pining for next year.
School starts in about a week. I will miss summer, but it'll be good to get back into the swing of things. One more year, that's it.
As for art stuff, I'll hopefully be having some new projects coming down the pike for you guys, one in particular I'm working on right now!

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Want to get that bachelor's degree you've always wanted, but couldn't afford? Become a barista. The Starbucks Corporation announced Monday that it's going to finance online degrees for employees via Arizona State University. The Starbucks College Achievement Plan, the first of its kind, will be available to U.S. Starbucks employees working at least 20 hours a week.
Having trouble getting out of your own way this morning? Even if you love your job, Monday mornings are rough. If you're not engaged with your work -- and 87 percent of workers aren't -- it's even harder to get into the swing. Here are five little small changes you can make, to make it easier to get back to work after a weekend.
The weather outside might be gorgeous, but you couldn't prove it by most office workers in the U.S., who toil away in canned air and flickering fluorescents with nary a beach jaunt on the horizon. No wonder 25 percent of us get less done in the summer than we do the rest of the year.
Cover letters have been with us for more than 500 years, since Leonardo da Vinci sent one to the Duke of Milan in 1482, enumerating his many talents. More surprising than the fact that we have Leonardo to thank for yet another invention? The realization that his letter, the first of its kind in history as far as we know, still has a lot to teach us about how to write this tricky document.
At most companies, the best time to make a decision is yesterday. The problem, of course, is that making good choices takes time. If you're having trouble fighting a corporate culture that puts a premium on speed over quality, here are a few things to keep in mind. Some might even persuade the boss to give you the extra time you need to do things right.
At the beginning of the month, Seattle's city council voted unanimously to increase the city's minimum wage to $15 an hour in stages over the next three to seven years. To get a business owner's perspective on the issue, we spoke via email with John Pepper, co-founder and former CEO of Boloco, a Boston-based restaurant chain with 22 units across New England. Pepper told us a bit about why a higher minimum wage isn't necessarily bad for business and what else needs to change for small businesses to thrive while paying their workers higher wages.
According to a recent report by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, some older students are actually leaving school to return to an improving job market. Since last year, enrollment dropped by 0.8 percent; over the previous year, enrollment declined 2.3 percent.
If you have trouble getting through the afternoon without an extra cup of coffee or two, you're either the parent of a small child, an insomniac, or someone who just can't bring himself to go to bed when it's time. All three conditions will wreak havoc on your productivity, but since the last one is under your control, it's the most worth examining, in terms of improving efficiency and job satisfaction. Why do we stay up, when we should go to bed?
If there is one thing some people will never agree upon, it is which pet is superior: dogs or cats. These strong opinions are the result of innate personality differences in cat lovers vs. dog lovers. And, of course, our personalities inform our best career choices.
Yesterday, President Barack Obama sat down with Tumblr founder David Karp to do a live Q&A on the service, answering questions about student loans and his recent executive order expanding the Pay-as-You-Earn program.
Feeling pressured to gain acceptance to an elite college? Don't. According to a new Gallup-Purdue University study, it's not where you study that matters in life, but what happens while you're there. Researchers surveyed 30,000 college graduates and found that a person's overall well-being and engagement in their work after college has little to do with where they went to school, but rather is influenced by the formative experiences they had while they were there.
On the last day of April, there were 4.5 million job openings, according to today's release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's 0.3 million job openings more than in March. Hires, on the other hand, were practically flat at 4.7 million. What's going on here?
In the age of LinkedIn and online job application forms, you're likely to forget about a valuable in-person networking tool: the business card. If you haven't bothered to update your card in a while -- or have a one so unmemorable, you have piles of left-behind cards stacked around your desk -- there are a few things you can do to step up your business card game.
If you have a big job interview or presentation coming up, you've probably already thought a lot about how to make a good first impression. You know you need to dress professionally, for example, and make eye contact. Perhaps you've even thought about things like the strength of your handshake or the genuineness of your facial expressions. But you probably never thought about one key ingredient for winning over your audience: the way you enter a room.
Working in an office seems like one of the safer career choices you can make. Unlike medical professionals, you don't have to worry about your mistakes costing lives; unlike, say, firefighters or military personnel, you don't have to be concerned about danger to your own life or limb. Or do you?

Reliability I like. So I want to backup the disks as well. Seems hard to find a tool to do more than one individual file system. Until ...
Linux Magazine has a short blurb on NovaStor Corp's Instant Recovery Software. Claims can back up ALL INTEL compatible file systems. Price is right at

When we first meet Angelina Love in this light BDSM inspired XXX scene she is bound with rope to a tree, waiting for her Doms to pick her up. Clad only in a leather jacket, leather boots and thigh high stockings, anyone that happened to walk by would see her lovely large breasts exposed. Her men come by to pick her up and waste no time setting her down at home to suck their dicks hard. They use Angelina's mouth and pussy for their pleasure without even taking their clothes off. Her stunt cocks stuff her full of their meat when they double penetrate her tight ass and freshly shaven pussy. Angelina takes it so hard and so good like the obedient slut she is before opening her mouth to receive their hot loads of cum.

'Looking': Jonathan Groff and cast shoot down 'Girls' comparisons, reminisce about San FranciscoAdd to Favorites | Looking
As "Looking" nears its Sunday (Jan. 19) premiere on HBO, the series, which follows a group of gay friends as they navigate life in San Francisco, has garnered plenty of comparisons to that other HBO series about a group of friends in an iconic city: "Girls."
"I think the cool thing about the comparisons to 'Girls' or 'Queer as Folk' or 'Sex and the City' is that there's maybe an audience crossover. If you liked those shows, chances are you might like our show," Jonathan Groff, who stars as Patrick, tells Zap2it at "Looking's" Los Angeles premiere. "But the writing and tone and style are very different, and I think once people see the show and they start to see a couple of episodes and get, sort of, what we're trying to express, they'll understand it's sort of a whole thing unto itself."
"I think people need something to relate it to, so they just take things that are popular and are in that demographic's mind, so they go there," guest actor T.J. Linnard adds, dismissing the comparisons.
While Raul Castillo, who plays Richie, hopes "Looking" is as successful as the shows it has been compared to, he also wants the show to subvert some expectations. "I don't think it's like anything that I've seen on TV," he tells us. "I think those are great shows and I hope that people fall in love with these characters the way they did with characters on those shows ... and I hope we find a similar kind of audience, and I hope that we surprise some people."
Set in the The City by the Bay, "Looking" was fortunate enough to be able to shoot entirely on location, giving the series a more realistic and richer feeling. "The city was phenomenal," Groff says. "The city is like another character, if not the main character, of our show. We had a blast living there."
Adds Castillo, "It's a dream kind of city to be working in. It's so beautiful in so many ways."
"Looking" premieres Sunday, Jan. 19 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.

Photo of the Week – Ski country
Posted By ISRAEL21c Staff On December 31, 2013 @ 12:00 am In Israel in Pictures | No Comments
No it isn't Switzerland or Austria, it's Israel. With heavy snowfalls earlier this month, ski fans are flocking to Mount Hermon in the Golan to take advantage of the snow.
The ski resort on the Hermon covers almost 600 acres and includes 10 chairlifts and cable cars and more than 40 kilometers of trails from novice level to competitive professional standard.
It's the only ski resort in the world located inside a military area, and around 300,000 people pass through its gates every winter.
More snow was expected at the resort this week as a new storm blew into the country on Sunday.
The photograph, of the chairlifts that take visitors up the hill to the ski resort, was taken by Hadas Parush, Flash90.
If you've got a photograph you'd like to feature on ISRAEL21c please send it in high resolution to firstname.lastname@example.com. Every week we will choose the best one to feature on our pages.

Either binding is a great choice. Both bindings are comfortable and responsive, the Cartels are a bit more stiff but only by a bit. You can't go wrong. I would say run the Cartel, you will not be disappointed.

So the Spurs are #1 in Western Conference right now with the Lakers coming in for 2nd. The Spurs beat the Mavericks at the end of last week even though they had Jason Kidd. Not sure why they benched Kidd at the end of the game either but nevermind that. Also, Yao Ming is out for the rest of the season for the Houston Rockets so we'll see how that plays out. Rockets actually still been winning without him. Currently the Spurs are on a 10 win streak and they play Indiana tomorrow (March 6).

Animal Ethics in ContextColumbia University Press 2010; US$ 28.99
It's widely agreed that because animals feel pain we should not make them suffer gratuitously. Some ethical theories go even further: because of the capacities animals possess, they have a right not to be harmed or killed. Such views concern what not to do to animals, but we also face the question of what we should do to assist the ones that may... more...

The question of the animal has preoccupied an increasing number of humanities, science, and social science scholars in recent years, and important work continues to expand the burgeoning field of animal studies.

The Golden Notebook is probably Doris Lessing's most famous novel. Published in 1962, it was acclaimed for its use of an involuted structure which interrogates the novel form. The novel was also prescient in its exploration of therapeutic journeys into madness. Other dominant themes are the shaping pressure of language within social groups, and the acknowledgement of areas of female sexuality which were previously largely taboo. The Golden Notebook also convincingly presents the ideological climate of London during the 1950s, a decade in which the British Communist Party strongly influenced Socialism and Left Wing politics before the party's inexorable decline, fuelled by recrimination and revelations after …

WERA Roadracing
Does anyone compete or attend?
They seem to hold events across the nation.
Yep, been racing WERA, principally Vintage, since 1997. What do you want to know? PM me and I'll contact you and we can speak off line.
Was just curious, looks well established
Vegas has a race next weekend going to
try sat afternoon
Great racing. :clap
If you have the opportunity go and watch but be careful they have you out on the track racing before you know it. :lol3
Great racing. :clap
If you have the opportunity go and watch but be careful they will have you out on the track racing before you know it. :lol3
They need to come up with some money to
get me on the track.
They are not as expensive as i thought though.
Get a bunch of smaller ones, they add up to enough for entries and tires. In turn, make sure you support your sponsor's promotional events. be there when they have that sale promo, bike pretty and on display, that sort of thing. It will pay off when you need to budget for next season.
I raced for 18 years, purely for the fun of it. I had a career, knew racing wasn't it, I did it because I needed to go warp factor 8 with my hair on fire.
Fun. :ricky
$20.00 admission and free parking!
I'm good to go sat. for an afternoon of racing.
Hope WERA is better today than 30 years ago.
Back in my 20's (yeah 30+ years back) raced AAMRR for 2 years. Moderately good results in the novice mod-prod division. NH Speedway- known as Bryar back then- and Bridgehampton- known as nothing now.
Looking for more race weekends I went to a WERA race at the Bridge.
First race keeping the leaders in sight, heavy braking before the right hander just before the back straight. No flags, no warning- puddle of oil on the track. I think I bounced when I hit the ground. Holee chit that hurt.
P.S. Years ago I read something pretty funny in Cycle magazine (remember that?) "have you ever crashed so hard that you couldn't pick your nose for a week?" That was me.
Slip and slide
Makes for good racing........ for spectators.
I raced last year, did most of the WERA west rounds. Had a blast. Stopped racing to go to Alaska with my pit buddy (gf) this summer.
Racing is expensive. Even at the amateur level. They say to factor the costs by adding up all your tools, equipment, bike, protective gear, hauling equipment, etc... and throw it off a cliff. Could you deal with that loss?
Its very easy to lose the front end of a 'not that expensive' racebike and send it tumbling down the track, trashing every piece of it. Done that.
It is fun, though. Where else can you go as fast as you and your equipment can go, racing head to head against other people?
But be prepared for the costs. Good protective gear alone will set you back at least $2k. Tires every other weekend... or every weekend if you race a modern 600 or more. Replacement parts, time to work on the bike, etc...
Been going to the WERA racing since i was 6 years old just going to the Road Atlanta rounds. It has been a steadily been losing spectators for the past 10 years. If you go to a Grand National Final in October Road A is a ghost town. The WERA races used to be as big as an AMA weekend now you see the same bikes running a multitude of classes and a reduction in racers as well.
Even AMA superbike rounds can't draw a crowd anymore.

Information for Artists and Performers
Rural touring can be a unique and fulfilling experience for both artist and audience alike and no two venues are ever the same. The locations can range from village halls and schools to converted chapels or even a Victorian folly, and vary in capacity from 50 seats to 200+.
All the shows are organised and hosted by a team of volunteers, led by a volunteer promoter for that village. Many venues are multi-purpose community buildings and often do not have technical equipment, staging or dedicated dressing rooms (committee rooms and storage areas are regularly utilised for this purpose), so it is important that any performance for rural touring should be self-contained and adaptable. We do, however, have a basic PA and floor lighting kit which can be borrowed if necessary, although a technician will not be provided.
If you feel your production/show is suitable for rural touring and you would like it to be considered for the next Hog the Limelight season, please complete and return the Hog the Limelight Artist's Form. 33kb
Programming generally takes place in the New Year for the season starting the following September and if your show is compatible with our programme, we will contact you requesting further information.
Advice and guidance for rural touring is also available from the National Rural Touring Forum (NRFT):

Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called a triglyceride. Triglycerides are also made in our bodies from the carbohydrates that we eat.
Fatty acids have many important functions in the body, including energy storage. If glucose (a type of sugar) isn't available for energy, the body uses fatty acids to fuel the cells instead.

There's a chance someone at Apple recently spilled the beans on the upcoming launch of an iBooks 3.0 app, which has the potential to suggest that the fabled "iPad mini" could pack an e-book-consuming punch.
Though we can't yet be sure, the accidental mention of "iBooks 3.0″ in the App Store could mean an update for Apple's e-book reading application is incoming, that it might launch alongside the iPad mini, and that the purported small-size iPad might be marketed as being more of an e-book-reading device than its larger, heavier counterpart.
Here's the leaked iBooks 3.0 mention, via iGen.fr:
However, this doesn't mean for sure that we'll see iBooks 3.0 launch in the coming days, or weeks. Instead, the mention of iBooks 3.0 leads to one of two explanations. Either someone in the iTunes department made a typo, hitting "3″ instead of "2″ when listing the iBooks compatibility for the above e-book, or iBooks 3.0 was indeed announced prematurely.
Developers can set certain requirements for their submissions, including hardware bits that are necessary to operate the app, and those are used to generate that section. But they cannot manually alter the text there, as it is generated by iTunes, so that rules out a typo on behalf of the submitting developer. This was definitely generated on Apple's end of things.
I guess we'll just have to wait for next week before we know for sure. Are you excited about the upcoming iPad mini event?

OAKLAND, Calif. — A major portion of Oakland's year-old police radio system failed during President Barack Obama's visit to the city this week, in one what one lieutenant described as a "train wreck."
SEE ALSO: Los Angeles Bans Marijuana Dispensaries
Many of the 100 Oakland officers assigned to handle presidential security were unable to communicate with the Police Department dispatch center for a time during Monday's presidential fundraiser at the Fox Theater.
Lt. Fred Mestas says that lasted about 30 minutes. He called the situation a "train wreck."
The radios failed altogether shortly after the president left.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/MHT1bB ) the officers were unable to communicate as protesters roamed Oakland streets.
The radio system has been plagued by breakdowns and dead zones that have left officers' digital radios prone to blackouts across the city and in most commercial buildings.

Michael Schumacher won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, and in doing so, gave Ferrari its 150th victory in F1. But, the result could have been very different had Juan-Pablo Montoya's Williams not suffered an engine failure late in the race.
Michael Schumacher won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, and in doing so, gave Ferrari its 150th victory in F1. But, the result could have been very different had Juan-Pablo Montoya's Williams not suffered an engine failure late in the race.
It was a record fifth win for the German at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and his sixth win in eight races this season. It extended his championship lead to 43 points over his brother Ralf and the younger Schumacher's Williams team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya.
Britain's David Coulthard won a battle with Rubens Barrichello of Ferrari for second place, picking up a podium spot for the second race in a row.
Montoya, who started on pole position, had posed the biggest threat to Schumacher but after leading for much of the day, the Colombian was forced to pull out of his second race in succession because of engine failure on lap 56.
Schumacher only won by one second in the end, but it could not hide a commanding performance as he slowed in the final 13 laps after Montoya's race was ended prematurely.
The Colombian had a superb start, cutting in front of the Ferrari on the front row, while Barrichello, on a lighter fuel load, darted inside his team-mate at the tight left-handed corner and near the end of the lap passed Montoya to take the lead.
The Brazilian had increased his advantage to around 3.7 seconds over Montoya at the end of the lap 10 on which local hero Jacques Villeneuve saw another home race brought to a premature end to the disappointment of the 110 000 crowd.
Race officials were forced to deploy the safety car to give marshals the chance to hoist the BAR off the circuit so Montoya was immediately called in by his team for more fuel. He returned in fifth spot but grabbed back third on lap 19 when he overtook his team-mate Ralf Schumacher and McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen in one fell swoop after both messed up the chicane.
Barrichello made his scheduled first pit-stop at the end of lap 26 and dropped to sixth behind Coulthard's McLaren as Schumacher, who has won the race a record four times, took over the lead by 11 seconds from Montoya.
Schumacher produced his usual burst to increase his advantage to 21,2 seconds at the mid-way point of the race with Raikkonen four seconds further back in third and comfortably holding Ralf Schumacher at bay.
The 33-year-old's lead was almost 24 seconds when he came in for fresh fuel and rubber two laps later but it was not enough to prevent Montoya regaining the advantage for the first time since the opening lap.
His lead of almost 13 seconds was not enough to protect his first place when he made his final stop with 19 laps left. In fact, both Ferraris powered past while he was taking on tyres and fuel but Barrichello made his final stop two laps later allowed Montoya to regain second spot.
But within five laps, Montoya's BMW engine expired, forcing him to park up on the grass and fail to finish a grand prix he had started on pole for the second race in succession.
Coulthard sneaked past Barrichello by cutting across the chicane to take second place for McLaren to consolidate his fourth spot in the drivers' standings following his victory in Monaco a fortnight ago.
Team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was fourth, the first time he has finished in the points since the opening grand prix in Australia. Italy's Giancarlo Fisichella finished in the points for the third successive race for Jordan with fifth spot while countryman Jarno Trulli fended off Schumacher junior to finished sixth for Renault.
"Ferrari's 150th win is very special and I take this opportunity to thank our test team," Schumacher said after the race. "They are always in the background and I am very happy to have these guys behind me. All of them, (test drivers) Luca Badoer, Luciano Burti and all the engineers and mechanics do a fantastic job."
"The Safety Car worked in my favour, even if I don't understand why they had to use it," the German added. "I kept a good pace as we knew Montoya was on a two stop, but I could not ease up until I knew I would be in front of him after his second stop. The engine was very strong and gave us good straight line speed. In the final laps I slowed down to save the car and brakes."
Coulthard, who had been on a one-stop race strategy from the onset, also benefited from the Safety Car situation.
"We (the McLaren team) were confident that we could get a points finish but didn't anticipate how competitive we would be so therefore I'm pleased for the whole team," said the Scot. "In the early stages I was struggling with oversteer and had to be careful allowing me to save the brakes which benefited me later."
In contrast, Barrichello never got the opportunity to maximise his advantage of having had a light fuel load at the start of the race.
"The safety car ruined my race and I don't see why it was used as it would be impossible to hit Villeneuve's car where it was parked," the Brazilian said. "I knew that two stops might be risky with a possible Safety Car, but I was comfortable with my two stop strategy as I was prepared to push and try and win the race.

A belaying pin is a device used on traditional sailing vessels to secure lines. Their function on modern vessels has been replaced by cleats, but they are still used, particularly on square-rigged ships.
A belaying pin is a solid metal bar with a curved top portion and cylindrical bottom part. It is inserted into a hole in a wooden pinrail, which usually runs along the inside of the bulwarks as shown (although free-standing pinrails are also used). Although the belaying pin can be lifted out and removed, it is usually left in place.
To secure a line, it is first led around the bottom of the pin and then the top, to form a complete turn. It is taken once more around the bottom of the pin, and then three cross-shaped turns are applied by looping the line round alternate sides of the top and bottom. This pattern can be remembered as "one hug and three kisses". Other arrangements are possible, but ensuring that the same pattern is used on a particular ship means that sailors know what to expect when releasing a line fastened by someone else - possibly in the dark.
Once the line is secure, the belaying pin is also used to store the excess. The line should be coiled, starting from where it is secured so that the twist can be worked out of the free end. The completed coil is held next to the pin, and the short length of line between the pin and the coil is pulled through the centre, twisted once (or more if necessary to shorten it) and hooked over the top of the pin, holding the coil in place. The twist is very important as it prevents the "short length of line between the pin and the coil" becoming longer by pulling more line from the coil, eventually dumping the stored line on the deck.
Some other lines run horizontally past their pins, and it is harder to maintain the tension between stopping hauling and making fast. Generally the line is held against the pin and the rail by hand - which helps a little but not much - and the transition between hauling and securing is then made as quickly as possible. At a shout of "come up!" the hauling team instantly provide the front man with slack line, and he snaps on the first turn. Inevitably some line will be lost in this procedure.
Finally, lines under very heavy load such as topsail halyards are equipped with short stopper lines attached near their pins. These are wound round the hauling line and held, to prevent it moving once the team stop hauling to allow it to be made fast.
Lines under tension can be let out in a controlled manner by leaving the first turn on the pin to provide friction. However, the hands must be kept a safe distance back along the rope or they may be dragged around the pin too.

I used it with only one filesystem corruption for several months once
(Mandrake 8.2 stock kernel, 2.4.18 I think). But then, that one

The audience of the early Restoration period was not exclusively courtly, as has sometimes been supposed, but it was quite small and could barely support two companies. There was no untapped reserve of occasional playgoers. Ten consecutive performances constituted a smash hit. This closed system forced playwrights to be extremely responsive to popular taste. Fashions in the drama would change almost week by week rather than season by season, as each company responded to the offerings of the other, and new plays were urgently sought. The King's Company and the Duke's Company vied with one another for audience favour, for popular actors, and for new plays, and in this hectic climate the new genres of heroic drama, pathetic drama, and Restoration comedy were born and flourished.
The actors gained a Royal "licence to perform", thus bypassing Rich's ownership of both the original Duke's and King's Company patents from 1660, and formed their own cooperative company. This unique venture was set up with detailed rules for avoiding arbitrary managerial authority, regulating the ten actors' shares, the conditions of salaried employees, and the sickness and retirement benefits of both categories. The cooperative had the good luck to open in 1695 with the première of William Congreve's famous Love For Love and the skill to make it a huge box-office success.
London again had two competing companies. Their dash to attract audiences briefly revitalized Restoration drama, but also set it on a fatal downhill slope to the lowest common denominator of public taste. Rich's company notoriously offered Bartholomew Fair-type attractions — high kickers, jugglers, ropedancers, performing animals — while the cooperating actors, even as they appealed to snobbery by setting themselves up as the only legitimate theatre company in London, were not above retaliating with "prologues recited by boys of five, and epilogues declaimed by ladies on horseback" (Dobrée, xxi). The demand for new plays stimulated William Congreve and John Vanbrugh into writing some of their best comedies, but also gave birth to the new genre of sentimental comedy, which was soon to replace Restoration comedy in the public favour.
Restoration comedy was strongly influenced by the introduction of the first professional actresses. Before the closing of the theatres, all female roles had been played by boys, and the predominantly male audiences of the 1660s and 1670s were both curious, censorious, and delighted at the novelty of seeing real women engage in risqué repartee and take part in physical seduction scenes. Samuel Pepys refers many times in his famous diary to visiting the playhouse in order to watch or re-watch the performance of some particular actress, and to how much he enjoys these experiences.
Daringly suggestive comedy scenes involving women became especially common, although of course Restoration actresses were, just like male actors, expected to do justice to all kinds and moods of plays. (Their role in the development of Restoration tragedy is also important, compare She-tragedy.)
A new speciality introduced almost as early as the actresses was the breeches role, which called for an actress to appear in male clothes (breeches being tight-fitting knee-length pants, the standard male garment of the time), for instance in order to play a witty heroine who disguises herself as a boy to hide, or to engage in escapades disallowed to girls. A quarter of the plays produced on the London stage between 1660 and 1700 contained breeches roles. Playing these cross-dressing roles, women behaved with the freedom society allowed to men, and some feminist critics, such as Jacqueline Pearson, regard them as subversive of conventional gender roles and empowering for female members of the audience. Elizabeth Howe has objected that the male disguise, when studied in relation to playtexts, prologues, and epilogues, comes out as "little more than yet another means of displaying the actress as a sexual object" to male patrons, by showing off her body, normally hidden by a skirt, outlined by the male outfit.
Successful Restoration actresses include Charles II's mistress Nell Gwyn, the tragedienne Elizabeth Barry who was famous for her ability to "move the passions" and make whole audiences cry, the 1690s comedienne Anne Bracegirdle, and Susanna Mountfort (a.k.a. Susanna Verbruggen), who had many breeches roles written especially for her in the 1680s and 90s. Letters and memoirs of the period show that both men and women in the audience greatly relished Mountfort's swaggering, roistering impersonations of young women wearing breeches and thereby enjoying the social and sexual freedom of the male Restoration rake.
During the Restoration period, both male and female actors on the London stage became for the first time public personalities and celebrities. Documents of the period show audiences being attracted to performances by the talents of particular actors as much as by particular plays, and more than by authors (who seem to have been the least important draw, no performance being advertised by author until 1699). Although the playhouses were built for large audiences—the second Drury Lane theatre from 1674 held 2000 patrons — they were of compact design, and an actor's charisma could be intimately projected from the thrust stage.
With two companies competing for their services from 1660 to 1682, star actors were able to negotiate star deals, comprising company shares and benefit nights as well as salaries. This advantageous situation changed when the two companies were amalgamated in 1682, but the way the actors rebelled and took command of a new company in 1695 is in itself an illustration of how far their status and power had developed since 1660.
The greatest fixed stars among Restoration actors were Elizabeth Barry ("Famous Mrs Barry" who "forc 'd Tears from the Eyes of her Auditory") and Thomas Betterton, both of them active in organising the actors' revolt in 1695 and both original patent-holders in the resulting actors' cooperative.
Betterton played every great male part there was from 1660 into the 18th century. After watching Hamlet in 1661, Samuel Pepys reports in his diary that the young beginner Betterton "did the prince's part beyond imagination." Betterton's expressive performances seem to have attracted playgoers as magnetically as did the novelty of seeing women on the stage. He was soon established as the leading man of the Duke's Company, and played Dorimant, the seminal irresistible Restoration rake, at the première of George Etherege's Man of Mode (1676). Betterton's position remained unassailable through the 1680s, both as the leading man of the United Company and as its stage manager and de facto day-to-day leader. He remained loyal to Rich longer than many of his coworkers, but eventually it was he who headed the actors' walkout in 1695, and who became the acting manager of the new company.
Restoration comedy peaked twice. The genre came to spectacular maturity in the mid-1670s with an extravaganza of aristocratic comedies. Twenty lean years followed this short golden age, although the achievement of Aphra Behn in the 1680s is to be noted. In the mid-1690s a brief second Restoration comedy renaissance arose, aimed at a wider audience. The comedies of the golden 1670s and 1690s peak times are extremely different from each other. An attempt is made below to illustrate the generational taste shift by describing The Country Wife (1675) and The Provoked Wife (1697) in some detail. These two plays differ from each other in some typical ways, just as a Hollywood movie of the 1950s differs from one of the 1970s. The plays are not, however, offered as being "typical" of their decades. Indeed, there exist no typical comedies of the 1670s or the 1690s; even within these two short peak-times, comedy types kept mutating and multiplying.
The unsentimental or "hard" comedies of John Dryden, William Wycherley, and George Etherege reflected the atmosphere at Court, and celebrated with frankness an aristocratic macho lifestyle of unremitting sexual intrigue and conquest. The Earl of Rochester, real-life Restoration rake, courtier and poet, is flatteringly portrayed in Etherege's The Man of Mode (1676) as a riotous, witty, intellectual, and sexually irresistible aristocrat, a template for posterity's idea of the glamorous Restoration rake (actually never a very common character in Restoration comedy). Wycherley's The Plain Dealer (1676), a variation on the theme of Molière's Le misanthrope, was highly regarded for its uncompromising satire and earned Wycherley the appellation "Plain Dealer" Wycherley or "Manly" Wycherley, after the play's main character Manly. The single play that does most to support the charge of obscenity levelled then and now at Restoration comedy is probably Wycherley's The Country Wife (1675).
The Country Wife has three interlinked but distinct plots, which each project sharply different moods:
1. Horner's impotence trick provides the main plot and the play's organizing principle. The upper-class town rake Horner mounts a campaign for seducing as many respectable ladies as possible, first spreading a false rumour of his own impotence, in order to be allowed where no complete man may go. The trick is a great success and Horner has sex with many married ladies of virtuous reputation, whose husbands are happy to leave him alone with them. In one famously outrageous scene, the "China scene", sexual intercourse is assumed to take place repeatedly just off stage, where Horner and his mistresses carry on a sustained double entendre dialogue purportedly about Horner's china collection. The Country Wife is driven by a succession of near-discoveries of the truth about Horner's sexual prowess (and thus the truth about the respectable ladies), from which he extricates himself by quick thinking and good luck. Horner never becomes a reformed character, but keeps his secret to the end and is assumed to go on merrily reaping the fruits of his planted misinformation, past the last act and beyond.
2. The married life of Pinchwife and Margery is based on Molière's School For Wives. Pinchwife is a middle-aged man who has married an ignorant young country girl in the hope that she will not know to cuckold him. However, Horner teaches her, and Margery cuts a swathe through the sophistications of London marriage without even noticing them. She is enthusiastic about the virile handsomeness of town gallants, rakes, and especially theatre actors (such self-referential stage jokes were nourished by the new higher status of actors), and keeps Pinchwife in a state of continual horror with her plain-spokenness and her interest in sex. A running joke is the way Pinchwife's pathological jealousy always leads him into supplying Margery with the very type of information he wishes her not to have.
3. The courtship of Harcourt and Alithea is a comparatively uplifting love story in which the witty Harcourt wins the hand of Pinchwife's sister Alithea.
In Congreve's Love for Love (1695) and The Way of the World (1700), the "wit duels" between lovers typical of 1670s comedy are underplayed. The give-and-take set pieces of couples still testing their attraction for each other have mutated into witty prenuptial debates on the eve of marriage, as in the famous "Proviso" scene in The Way of the World (1700). Vanbrugh's The Provoked Wife (1697) follows in the footsteps of Southerne's Wives' Excuse, with a lighter touch and more humanly recognizable characters.
The Provoked Wife is something of a Restoration problem play in its attention to the subordinate legal position of married women and the complexities of "divorce" and separation, issues that had been highlighted in the mid-1690s by some notorious cases before the House of Lords (see Stone).
Sir John Brute in The Provoked Wife is tired of matrimony. He comes home drunk every night and is continually rude and insulting to his wife. She is meanwhile being tempted to embark upon an affair with the witty and faithful Constant. Divorce is not an option for either of the Brutes at this time, but forms of legal separation have recently come into existence, and would entail a separate maintenance to the wife. Such an arrangement would not allow remarriage. Still, muses Lady Brute, in one of many discussions with her niece Bellinda, "These are good times. A woman may have a gallant and a separate maintenance too."
Bellinda is at the same time being grumpily courted by Constant's friend Heartfree, who is surprised and dismayed to find himself in love with her. The bad example of the Brutes is a constant warning to Heartfree to not marry.
The Provoked Wife is a talk play, with the focus less on love scenes and more on discussions between female friends (Lady Brute and Bellinda) and male friends (Constant and Heartfree). These exchanges, full of jokes though they are, are thoughtful and have a dimension of melancholy and frustration.
After a forged-letter complication, the play ends with marriage between Heartfree and Bellinda and stalemate between the Brutes. Constant continues to pay court to Lady Brute, and she continues to shilly-shally.
"Critics remain astonishingly defensive about the masterpieces of this period", wrote Robert D. Hume as late as 1976. It is only over the last few decades that that statement has become untrue, as Restoration comedy has been acknowledged a rewarding subject for high theory analysis and Wycherley's The Country Wife, long branded the most obscene play in the English language, has become something of an academic favourite. "Minor" comic writers are getting a fair share of attention, especially the post-Aphra Behn generation of women playwrights which appeared just around the turn of the 18th century: Delarivier Manley, Mary Pix, Catharine Trotter, and Susannah Centlivre. A broad study of the majority of never-reprinted Restoration comedies has been made possible by Internet access (by subscription only) to the first editions at the British Library.

This little rig infact interfaces via USB to your PC clock and generates hours and half hours dings on a real bronze bell. Great stuff to bring into your office and surprise then amuse then annoy your helpless friends.
From these pages I already showed something similar where a serial port was used instead of USB. Today most PCs lack of a serial port and with this design USB serves also as power source.
Arduino is at its core and interfaces to the PC clock with a simple Processing sketch, its natural counterpart by design.
Step 1: Please, a video !
For some reasons I couldn't merge it here directly.
The audio is awful because of the camera's poor microphone. It should give a good idea though.
Step 2: Forewords
1: it is made in Italy.
2: in case of troubles tha community is there: for sure someone else has had my same
problem already.
3: anyone with little or no software and hardware background can have a project running.
4: gives instant gratification : upon receiving the kit anyone can have a blinking LED driven
by a RISC processor, not bad.
5: the credits.
6: in case of serious problems I can blame someone else.
7: it is made in Italy.
Done with with the Ad, after years of working around the problem of not having a real Arduino board and wiring fake-ups, I finally bought one.
This contest is a great way of putting my 35 euros at work.
The picture shows Arduino along with a same sized breadboard to host the veeery simple hardware needed to complete the project.
Yes, there's a bunch of better thing to strike! : see for example http://www.5volt.eu/archives/16
