i recently found 2 blogs that i am absolutely smitten with:
both of these blogs are paleo, but more focused on the womanly side of paleo. i did not even know that paleo had a womanly side until recently.
recently both of them reviewed It Starts with Food: Discover the Whole30 and Change Your Life in Unexpected Ways . this book is based on a popular paleo plan called "the whole30″ that is supposed to reset your body through nutrition. it's a strict paleo plan that you follow for 30 days. anyway, i bought the book and it arrived in the mail yesterday.
i also had an horrible stomach day yesterday. so i am going to try the whole30. why not, right?
i haven't even finished the book but i will certainly write a review when i do.
what sucks so far (erm, 10 minutes in):
*btw those are affiliate links to the book.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Vox Media is raising $40 million from Silicon Valley venture firm Accel Partners, a huge sum of money for a new media company. The news was announced today, after reporters noticed a filing with the securities and exchanges commission (SEC). Vox Media's trio of brands are SBNation, one of the largest sports-blogging communities on the Web; tech/gadgets site The Verge, and gaming site Polygon. The Washington D.C.-based company has already raised $35 million, so when this funding goes through, it will be one of the most well-funded independent content creators on the Internet. A number of tech-focused media companies have taken funding in the past few years: GigaOm raised about $14 million, Say Media (parent of ReadWrite) raised $27 million, and TechMediaNetwork has raised over $40 million (and then acquired popular tech site Tom's Hardware in July). Full disclosure: VentureBeat competes with many of these sites, and we've taken venture funding as well, although on a much smaller scale. We've raised under $1 million to date. For perspective, we talked with our own founder and editor-in-chief, Matt Marshall. Marshall said the industry will keep a close eye on Vox as it explores new business models in the wake of its windfall. "I would imagine that Accel has figured something out beyond advertising," said Marshall, who performed extensive analysis and research last year around the optimal levels of investment for digital content creators. "They [Vox Media] would have to defy all historical norms for this industry to make it a win for the investors." According to a report in All Things D, Vox is "on track" to be profitable this year. The company has revealed plans to expand its video business for various sites, and connected TV applications. In May, the Verge added a new video channel, and brought on Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian as a regular host. Vox added an in-house agency earlier this year to sell sponsorship for this series. Vox is also planning to use the funding to broaden its editorial coverage across various sites. It will now produce more reported videos, and cover business topics beyond its usual social media news and gadget reviews. Advertising Age reports that The Verge does not intend to become the next CNN — it will remain focused on its core beats, tech and culture. Vox isn't the only digital media company to raise significant funding — and large exits are not out of the question. Huffington Post raised $37 million before it was acquired by AOL for $315 million in 2011, and sports blogging/news site Bleacher Report raised $40 million before it was acquired by Turner Broadcasting for a reported $200 million in 2012. Meanwhile, viral content machine BuzzFeed has pulled in nearly $50 million to date. Industry experts are already speculating whether Vox Media will go public — as it would be very expensive (probably too expensive) to acquire. Vox Media chief executive Jim Bankoff told Ad Age that the company is more focused at present on building out its product, and "executing on our plans." Accel Partners led the funding round and was joined by previous investors Comcast Ventures and Khosla Ventures. Accel Partners' Andrew Braccia led the first round of funding in Vox Media back in 2008. More information: Vox Media Vox (formerly known as SB Nation) is one of the country's largest and fastest growing online publishers. Based in Washington DC, Vox owns and operates sites in distinct vertical categories, consumer technology and sports. The Verge is ... read more » Powered by VBProfiles

Ultimate Doom - full packageJul 31, 2007 Full Version 0 comments
This package includes the mod executable plus some source code
Ultimate Doom is the answer to all your requests to combine the three mods of the Doom series - Doom Dragoon, Terran Doom and Zerg Doom - into one StarCraft mod so you can play it against your friends! The Doom series was created to demonstrate iscript-based modding techniques and so you'll see a lot of what iscript modding is capable of in this mod. You'll also find a whole lot of new effects in this mod as well, ones that weren't seen in the Doom Dragoon, Terran Doom or Zerg Doom!
In this mod you'll find a whole slew of effects. Photon rain, arclite sprays plus psionic vortexes, psionic radiation, trampling Ultralisks and more. The mod is designed to give each unit a little bit of a kick while retaining their original purposes in the game so you can play it as normal. Great for playing melee against your friends!
No news has been posted here. If you have relevant news to share you should post it now.

Whoooof, that's strong stuff… already dead but still fresh, (it wasn't me) I grin as I think that's one more item for today's journal entry.
But wait! There's more! I almost don't reach the rest area to make the next payment on the hot dogs (ouch again). Fog is rolling in and getting thicker as I travel west… it's pretty cool at first but getting worse. Finally I can't see a damn thing my speed is down to 20mph. Flashers on for fear of being rear ended, I am passed by a pick up and I latch onto his taillights (just ahead of me, that's all I can see). As we fly through the night and mist I wonder what kind of scenery I'm missing.

Hey Rouge1,
I'm re-reading the thread again, this time paying more attention to the narrative. I did a coast-to-coast in Y2K on my '83 R100 airhead. I did a west-to-eas southern route from SF to Raliegh, NC, where I left the bike for the summer at my cousin's house. On Oct.1 I headed back along the northern route.
Raliegh to Ashville, through the Smokies to Mammoth Cave, KY. After Mammoth Cave I did an all day, 900+ mile ride from there to Kansas City. I had some work done at the same BMW shop and bought a heated vest and winter gloves there.
I also did KC north to Sioux City, then west on I-90. Let me assure you, you didn't miss jack. In fact, I'm envious you did it at night, as there's nothing really to see between Sioux City and the Badlands along I-90. Walled Drugs is nothing but a tourist trap on your way to Rapid City. Good place for a quick meal, then back in the saddle.
I actually stopped riding after dark after the leg on I-90. Every 20 miles or so I'd see some serious roadkill remains and didn't want to risk an accident. The locals in Walled agreed that roadkills got worse in autumn before winter set in.
When you go out again, I'd recommend Mammoth Cave on your way west. After Kansas City, I'd suggest going north to Omaha, then west out State Route 275, which merges into State Route 20 and proceeds northwest to Pine Ridge and Wounded Knee at the southern end of the Badlands. From there you can ride up to the Langhorn Saloon in beautiful Scenic, SD.

The status of Texas was in limbothe United States government was undecided whether or not to grant the Republic statehood. To complicate matters, Mexico never formally recognized Texas independence. The Mexican government simply viewed Texas as a rebellious territory that they would eventually reconquer.
Meanwhile, President James Polk looked farther west for areas to expand the young nation. In 1845, Polk sent a diplomat to Mexico with an offer to purchase New Mexico and California from the Mexican government. He also wanted Mexico to agree to establish the Rio Grande river as the border between the two countries, which would make Texas part of the United States. As payment, the United States would relinquish legal claims against Mexico, an amount totaling more than $3 million.
The people of Mexico were still angered by the issue of Texas independence, however, and public sentiment forced the Mexican government to refuse any deal with the United States. The Mexican government still considered Texas part of their republic. Polk was outraged, and sent military forces, under the direction of Zachary Taylor, to the Rio Grande river. Skirmishes immediately broke out. One of these battles took place just north of the Rio Grande, in disputed territory. Polk interpreted this as an act of aggression against the United States and asked Congress to declare war on Mexico, which it did.
During this time, Taylors army was winning battles with regularity in the Rio Grande area. Taylor pushed into Northern Mexico while to the west Americans were infiltrating northern California. Soon, a rebellion against Mexican rule in California was underway. By mid-1846, California was known as the Bear-Flag Republic, which had a brief life span of 19 days. The U.S. military occupied the Los Angeles area and declared authority over the whole republic. Control of California was the heart of Polks Manifest Destiny doctrine, the belief that providence had willed the Americans a moral mission to conquer adjacent lands.
Although victory in California and New Mexico had been gained with relative ease, there were a few battles of note, including the Battle of San Pasqual, the only one in which the Americans were defeated by the Californios, people of Spanish, Indian and Mexican blood who ruled California before the American takeover.
On Dec. 6, 1846, Mexican troops under the command of Major Andrés Pico encountered U.S. forces -- led by Brigadier General Stephen W. Kearny -- at San Pasqual, in the northeastern area of what is now the County of San Diego in Southern California. The Californios inflicted heavy casualties on the Americans, who, having lost the battle, retreated to San Diego. The Americans would later defeat Picos forces in several battles throughout the state and Pico eventually surrendered in January, 1847, signing the Cahuenga Capitulaton that ended hostilities in California.
In New Mexico, Gov. Bent and others sympathetic to the American takeover were killed on Jan. 19, 1847 by a group of Spanish descendants, Indians and Mexicans. It was the start of what became known as the Taos Revolt. The New Mexicans were opposed to the occupation of their territory by U.S. forces. Col. Sterling Price and his troops retaliated, defeating the rebels at Santa Cruz, and later at Taos, where Prices forces decisively beat the insurgents in a final battle that took place at the Taos Pueblo Church.
Feeling secure with California and New Mexico under U.S. control, Polk sent peace offerings to Mexico, which continually failed. Polk continued his effort at peace, however, and asked Congress for $2 million to buy the cherished western lands of New Mexico and California and end the war. The Senate agreed, but the House denied the motion. Their denial was largely due to the Wilmot Proviso that was added to the motion. In the Wilmot Proviso, Polk attempted to have Congress mandate that no slavery would be allowed in any territory acquired as a product of the Mexican War.
Discouraged, Polk started on another strategy to end the war. No significant progress was made in peace accords, however, until the Army seized Mexico City. Shortly after the New Year of 1848, the peace Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo was completed and the war ended.

This editorial will appear in Monday's print edition.
Despite strong circumstantial evidence in the December 2009 disappearance of Susan Cox Powell, authorities in West Valley City, Utah, never filed any charges against the only person they say they suspected: her husband, Josh Charles.
Now that he's dead – having killed himself and his two young sons – there's no good reason to withhold records related to the investigation. The Salt Lake Tribune has tried to get those records, but the West Valley City Council has refused to release them.
The Tribune's request is legitimate. It is in the public interest to determine why authorities failed to take action against Josh Powell – which might have prevented the February murders of 5-year-old Braden and 7-year-old Charlie in Graham. And the newspaper could look into whether taxpayer money was responsibly spent in the two-year investigation.
In denying the records request, the council cited Utah law that allows records to be withheld if they "reasonably could be expected to interfere with investigations undertaken for enforcement, discipline, licensing, certification or registration purposes."
Is that a roundabout way of saying they still have a suspect in Susan's disappearance? Questions have been raised about whether Josh Powell's father, Steve Powell, might have been involved in some way. He is scheduled to go on trial May 7 in Pierce County on voyeurism and child pornography charges.
Even if Steve Powell is under investigation, West Valley City should be able to release records that do not refer to him. If they are concerned about identifying any sources, names can be redacted.
Unless city officials can be more forthcoming with a good explanation for denying the Tribune's records request, they shouldn't be surprised that people have their own ideas. Are officials concerned that the records would reveal incompetence? That they would provide fodder for a lawsuit by Susan's family?
West Valley City officials should reconsider their decision to withhold the records – or at the very least give a better explanation for it.

Video Jukebox (TV series)
|Video Jukebox
HBO's Video Jukebox
|Country of origin
|United States
|Running time
|Original channel
|Home Box Office (HBO)
|Original release
|December 1981 – November 1986
Video Jukebox is an American television program that aired from 1981 to 1986 on HBO. It was a monthly series that showcased music videos from the popular recording artists of the time such as Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Prince, Culture Club, Linda Ronstadt, David Bowie, Hall & Oates, Madonna, Blondie and The Human League to name a few. A typical episode of Video Jukebox consisted of seven or eight music videos and lasted roughly 30 minutes, and the lineup changed in the middle of each month.[1]
During the late 1970s (and before the MTV network debuted), HBO was already airing one or two music videos (or "promotional clips" as they were known at the time) as filler in between their feature films and other series. These short clips also carried the Video Jukebox moniker. When Video Jukebox premiered as a half-hour series in December 1981, HBO was reaching more households than MTV (which had been launched only four months earlier), so a video that aired on Video Jukebox may have received a little more exposure than it would on MTV, a claim that would be short-lived as MTV quickly gained more cable markets by around 1983.[2]
The series had no host until September 1985, when Dennis Elsas was brought on as voiceover talent, introducing the videos that were shown on the program. Elsas served as host of Video Jukebox until its final airing in November 1986.
At the peak of its popularity in the mid-1980s, Video Jukebox spawned many "special editions", including Christmas Jukebox, Country Jukebox, Comedy Jukebox, Heavy Metal Jukebox, Sixties Jukebox, and other editions featuring songs from movies and Grammy winners.[3]

I guess this could go in the color section, but I thought I'd put it hereso more people can have the opportunity to see and discuss it.
I was doing a quick research on colors and this came up:
Chimeras: Chimeric horses are the result of the fusing of fraternal twins in utero resulting in 2 sets of DNA in 1 horse. The dual DNA is not always manifested as brindle. Often. It results in random patches of color like the horses below:
An Icelandic
A paint
Another Icelandic
I guess this also causes brindle horses, which are cool to see.
So these are horses who have been joined while developing in the womb. One color is one foal, the other color is the other foal. These guys can't decide who they want to be.
I'm getting all sorts of geeked out! Which is the true, live horse? What true color is the living horse, and what color is the horse that was obsorbed?
On a side note, that second horse looks photoshopped. The website I found claims its a true horse and lists its name and owner. I'm skeptic...
Anyways, if it bothers anyone that this isn't in the color section, I wouldn't be insulted if it was moved. I just thought it was too cool so I posted it in the general section.
And I think I'm going to bed, because I'm exhausted and my mind is starting to refuse to make sense!

Your Football Guide to cleats, footballs, and gloves.
What to look for when shopping for football cleats.
When buying cleats for football, subtle features can be the difference between a win and a loss. To get the most from your performance be sure to find the cleat that perfectly fits your style of play.
Molded Studs:
- Features hard plastic molding that provides great traction and grip on firm ground or artificial grass. Mostly used in youth and high school leagues, molded cleats are typically less expensive than detachable studs, and are generally preferred by younger and more casual players.
Detachable Studs:
- Consists of longer and more powerful studs that can be removed and changed depending on preference and field conditions. These cleats are generally more expensive and used by pro, college, and competitive high school players.
Height of Cleat:
- Low:
Keeps the ankles free from restriction, providing mobility to make cuts and reach high speeds. Provides low to no ankle support. Designed for fast and agile players.
- Mid:
Average ankle support and stability without minimizing mobility or speed. Designed for most skill positions such as running back, quarterback, wide receiver, and defensive back.
- High:
Includes 3/4 to 5/8 cut. Maximum ankle support and stability helps prevent rolling and twisting the ankles while slightly restricting mobility and speed. Designed for positions that make predominantly lateral movements on the field such as defenders and linemen.
There are many different types of footballs varying in sizes, shapes and materials.
At Academy, we carry footballs ranging from Pee wee League to the Professional League.
Pee Wee Footballs
- Pee wee sized footballs are designed for use with players 8 years old and under.
- They are perfect for practice or game day and are approved by virtually every youth football league.
Junior Footballs
- Junior sized footballs are designed for use with players between 9-11 years old.
- They are perfect for practice or game day and are approved by virtually every youth football league.
Youth Footballs
- Youth sized footballs are designed for use with players between 12-13 years old.
- They are perfect for practice or game day and are approved by virtually every youth football league.
NFHS High School Football
- Standard sized footballs used for high school level play.
National Collegiate Athletic Association College
- Standard size used in college play all around the United States
National Football League Pro Footballs
- Football size used by the NFL and other professional leagues.
- Easy identification of official NFL football has no UPC bar code on ball
- Tend to cost less than leather footballs.
- Composite footballs look and feel like leather, but tend to resist moisture better than real leather.
- Like leather footballs, these balls are generally intended for use on grass or turf surfaces.
- The highest grade footballs and are typically used in game and practice play.
- Many of the leather footballs are made with a tanning process that makes the ball tacky. This makes it easier to grip, particularly when wet.
- Some leather footballs are also made to resist absorbing moisture.
- Can be used in all weather conditions.
- Leather footballs that are not specified as water proof or water resistant should not be used in wet conditions. The ball can absorb water, becoming heavier and harder to grip.
- Leather footballs are only intended for use on grass or turf surfaces.
What to look for when shopping for football gloves.
Gloves provide quite a few benefits including grip, warmth, protection, and even moisture control.
The color of football gloves is regulated by the league in which the athlete is participating. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) states gloves may only be grey. Check league rules and regulations for acceptable glove color.
Receiver Gloves
- Enhances performance by gaining better traction or squeeze between the hands and the football.
- Form fitted with a tacky material on the palm.
- Receiver gloves are ideal for running and/or defensive backs and kick/punt returners.
Lineman Gloves
- Used to protect the hand when blocking or tackling an opponent.
- Made with leather material at the palm for breathability.
- Typically padded at the top of the hand, the knuckles, the bottom palm, and thumb.

Did Cueto not have good stuff, or did the Brewers hit everything? I don't have the MLB TV package, so all I saw was his pitching line.
Kyle Lohse helped shave a game off y'alls magic number. You're welcome.
Did Cueto not have good stuff, or did the Brewers hit everything? I don't have the MLB TV package, so all I saw was his pitching line.
Kyle Lohse helped shave a game off y'alls magic number. You're welcome.
Richard Cranium. think about it.
I've been telling Cardinals fans that Lohse is not all that and a bag of chips since they signed him.
"I talked to an advance scout that told me if Joey Votto and Albert Pujols were on the same team he'd advise his team to do the unthinkable...pitch around Votto to get to Pujols." - Buster Olney, ESPN
To follow up on the OP--what did go wrong with Cueto tonight?
I was tutoring athletes at my university so I couldn't watch the game. During a break I hopped on yahoo to check the score and threw up in my mouth a little.
For those watching, what went wrong?
He was "wild in the zone". Everything was up and near the middle, like he was throwing BP.
What if this is as good as it gets?
I couldn't watch the game, but I did have MLB At Bat running on my phone, and if the pitch location on it was correct, Yes everything he threw was belt high or higher. Also, looked like the ump was inconsistent on what was a strike or not. But again thats only if the pitch location on MLB At Bat was accurate.
"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road." Stephen Hawking
He and everyone else just had an off night, lets not forget that the Brewers are one of the top hitting teams in the NL. If they had any kind of decent pitching they would be in the playoff race with ease.
The Brewers owed us big time. We were 10-1 against them this year. We just took two in a row and got the magic number from 8 to 3. It was just time for a thrashing. It is MLB after all...
"Bad night," Cueto said. "I wasn't locating the pitches the way I wanted. I was opening up too much. I was landing standing up. I watched the video and saw that. My pitches didn't move."
Oh they moved...just off the bats of the Brewers....

What would you do if you found your ex boyfriend/girlfriend as a 1inch tall guy/girl?
If your ex boyfriend or girlfriend shrunk to one inch tall because of a virus welter him/her and you found him/her at this size what would you do in... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Depends on which ex. Some of them I'd laugh at and even consider squashing with my shoe (and I would greatly enjoy it...) if it was my other exs, I'd be very careful with them and care for them until we could find someone who could change them back. I'd do everything I could to help them, plus I think it'd be fun having a 1" tall person be with me 24/7.
yeah it'd be fun having a one tall person 24/7 with you.especially if this one tall person was your closest friend.think you are always carrying your closest friend in your pocket.this would be cool but if this one inch tall person was a male,you couldn't carrry him 24/7 with you at least while you are taking bath :)
Haha that depends on which ex... ;)

That'd be awesome! So many cool possibilities!
can you give some examples from theese cool possibilities? :)
She could help me with exams I'd just put her in my ear and she can shout the answer out to me! She could rob a bank without anyone noticing! She could do brain surgery much better than anyone else!
hah ha they are cool and funny possibilities :)

TearsTT: Roughly 3% of Americans are still on dial-up Internet
Google are slowly rolling out its uber-fast Fiber service across the United States, but did you know that around 3% of Americans are still stuck on dial-up? You know, the old Internet that wasn't always-on and had your modem make weird sounds when it connected to the Internet.
The news comes from the Pew Research Center's report, that states that 3% of American Internet users are still using dial-up services for their Internet needs, with that 3% number not changing since 2011. This obviously means that there are 3% of Internet users who might not know better, maybe older Internet users without computer-savvy young children or friends, or Internet "black spots" where DSL or cable aren't available.
Intel's MXC is an optical interconnect for servers, pushes 1.6Tbps
Intel has teased its latest MXC format, which will combine silicon photonics and a new form of Corning fiber, which will see servers linked at an incredible 1.6Tbps.
The chipmaker is using connectors that are very small, but Intel won't talk about MXC anymore until the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco next month. We can expect supercomputer operators to be on the floor, with huge smiles on their faces. We will be posting all sorts of news during IDF, so be sure to check back soon!
Google's 'Wi-Fi balloons' are currently being tested in California
Google has finally started the testing of its Project Loon Wi-Fi balloons in California's Central Valley, where they are "to research various approaches for improving the technology, like the power systems (solar panel orientation and batteries), envelope design, and radio configuration."
The Wi-Fi balloons have previously been tested in New Zealand and various parts of Africa, but there's no concrete date when we could expect them to float across other skies just yet.
Kwikset unveils Kevo, a bluetooth-enabled deadbolt now on preorder
Today, Kwickset, the largest home entry lock maker in the US, unveiled a new deadbolt set that can be unlocked with your smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0. Dubbed the Kevo, the wireless deadbolt utilizes Bluetooth 4.0 LE technology to unlock your door when your phone comes within range of its sensor. A wireless Bluetooth key dongle is also included for those without smartphones, and the device still functions with a normal key for instances when the batteries may be dead.
The deadbolt is available in three finishes including Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze, and Polished Brass. Powered by 4 AA batteries, the set includes two traditional keys, a wireless keyfob, and two "eKeys" for smartphones. For now, the company's smartphone app is only available for third-generation or higher iOS devices, but an Android app and BlackBerry 10 app are in the works. The new deadbolt lock is available for pre-order now at a hefty $219 price tag, which is about ten times the cost of a normal deadbolt.
USB 3.1 10Gbps standard finalized, moves into development
Today, the USB 3.0 Promoter Group announced that the USB 3.1 Specification standard has been finalized. This will allow SuperSpeed USB to transfer at up to 10Gbps. The new transfer speeds are made possible by more efficient data encoding algorithms that allow the protocol to deliver more than twice the throughput of the current USB 3.0 standard.
"The USB 3.1 specification primarily extends existing USB 3.0 protocol and hub operation for speed scaling along with defining the next higher physical layer speed as 10 Gbps," said Brad Saunders, USB 3.0 Promoter Group Chairman. "The specification team worked hard to make sure that the changes made to support higher speeds were limited and remained consistent with existing USB 3.0 architecture to ease product development."
The Group says that the new standard is fully backwards compatible with existing USB 3.0 cables and connectors. All existing software stacks, protocols, and 5Gbps hubs will continue to function with the new standard as well. If you are interested, you can download the latest release of the specification from Source #2 below.
Acer drops Thunderbolt, gives USB 3.0 a big embrace instead
Acer have made quite a bold move today, shifting away from the super-fast Thunderbolt technology and into the arms of USB 3.0 from this point on. Acer spokesperson Ruth Rosene has said that USB 3.0 is less expensive than Thunderbolt, offering close to the same bandwidth, as well as charging devices we use in our every day lives like smartphones and tablets.
Intel are on the defensive, as you can imagine, with the Director of Intel's Client Connectivity Division, Jason Ziller, saying that there are over a dozen new platforms on the market that are powered by Thunderbolt with the Haswell-based fourth-generation Core processors from Intel. ASUS, Dell and Lenovo are all big names who are working with Intel and using Thunderbolt.
Ziller did note that Thunderbolt isn't aimed at value or mid-range systems, and that it is designed for premium systems. This will only become more apparent when Thunderbolt 2 arrives, which is capable of bi-directional speeds of 20Gbps.
Telstra use their cat-like reflexes and unveil MEOW, their next-gen exchange on wheels
MEOW. Yes, MEOW. Telstra's new Mobile Exchange On Wheels (MEOW) has been unveiled, which can handle twice the number of ADSL2+ and PSTN services as its predecessor.
Telstra have said their Mark. III of the MEOW can now support 768 ADSL2+ services, 780 PSTN services and 16 ISDN lines. Comparing this to the Mark. II trailer, which could only handle 330 ADSL2+ and 330 PSTN services. MEOWs are used primarily to get communities back online after an emergency or a natural disaster.
A natural disaster will take down essential services such as ATM and EFTPOS, and in this near cashless society, this can cause huge issues for residents of communities who have no access to electronics. Telstra have built two MEOW Mark. III trailers, and will have them housed Gnangara in Western Australia and Flinders in South Australia.

iPhone 5 makes up 75% of all 4G web traffic in the US
Just how popular is the iPhone 5 for 4G LTE web browsing? Does the word 'dominating' come to mind? Because it should, according to Comscore's latest study of US marketshare, with ad network Chitika reporting that when looking at just the "4G"-capable part of the market, the iPhone 5 completely dominates it.
When concentrating on just 4G-capable smartphones released after July 2012, the iPhone 5 by itself takes up 75% of US 4G web traffic. When mixing in all still-active 4G/LTE smartphones, it still takes a huge chunk: 40%. Considering the iPhone 5 is the only 4G-capable iPhone on the market, this is a huge win for Apple.
T-Mobile spending $308 million on 10MHz of wireless spectrum
Wireless carrier T-Mobile has entered into an agreement to acquire 10MHz of advanced wireless spectrum (AWS) for $308 million. The deal was announced today and is pending regulatory approval by the FCC and Department of Justice. T-Mobile is interested in putting the new spectrum to use to expand their fledgling LTE network.
T-Mobile just recently started rolling out their 4G LTE network. This new 10MHz spectrum covers numerous key markets and could be put to use almost immediately to speed the LTE roll out and increase capacity in existing markets. The spectrum includes such markets as St. Louis; Nashville; Kansas City; Memphis; Lexington; Little Rock-North Little Rock; Birmingham; New Orleans; and Louisville.
According to T-Mobile's CEO, spectrum, especially AWS spectrum, is like gold. Without spectrum, a company would be hard-pressed to provide wireless coverage. Once all the regulatory hurdles are met, T-Mobile will immediately put the spectrum to use.
Gigabit Squared unveils their fiber plans for Seattle, 1Gbps for $80 per month
It looks like Google Fiber will have some competition in the near future from Gigabit Squared, who are set to roll out gigabit Internet services to the population of Seattle next year.
What can you expect to receive their speeds? Well, the minimum cost is $350 for installation, which includes 5Mbps down and 1Mbps up for free for the first 5 years. After which it will cost $10 each month afterwards. If customers sign up to a one-year contract, they can avoid the setup charge and receive 100Mbps both down and up for just $45 per month.
If you want that tasty and super-fast 1Gbps, that will set you back $80 per month with no setup costs involved. If you want to gain access to this service, you'll need to live in Seattle's West Campus District, First Hill, Capitol Hill or Central Area neighborhoods as they'll be the first to have Gigabit Square's cables laid in their grounds.

Postmenopausal Hormone Treatment 0 0
I'm 56, postmenopausal w/ terrible insomnia, hot flashes, brain fog, memory issues--dr wants to put my on vivelle dots. Anyone have experience with this? I've tried natural remedies and not enough relief. Memory & sleep issues are killing me, and I'll lose my job if I don't get control.

Uniontown, Oh
09/10/2013Ten years ago, I was in the exact place you are. I had posted notes everywhere and was running on a couple of hours of sleep constantly. Years later, I became aware that, at the same time, I was also having much unacknowledged problems with statin drugs and also undiagnosed hypothyroidism. Both were causing major problems with my memory and sleep. Work stress didn't help either. I still don't sleep well and stopped taking prescription sleep aids after I found out they also will ruin your mental process. I take 1 mg of melatonin and a Valerian tablet to sleep now. Not great, but makes me tired instead of wired at night. Look to see if other hidden health issues may be compounding your situation. I exercised and thought I was very healthy, and never heard of hypothyroidism. I thought statins were keeping me well but I know better now. Best wishes. I know how difficult life can become when this happens.Replied by Mike

09/12/2013Hi, for insomnia, the best and healthy supplement that would help would be Magnesium L Threonate, 3 pills a day as per instructions on the bottle. It will help you relax, relieve stress, and afford a very well rested sleep. It is also the best choice for memory issues and brain fog. Mg L Threonate is the only form of Magnesium that will cross the blood brain barrier (discovered by MIT recently) It will help with sleep right away. Also called Magtein (Mg L Threonate) will help with long term memory but be aware that it takes Mg months to get built up in the body. It took 4 -6 months for me, but my mind got clear and I sometimes experience photographic recall. Then for short term memory and speed recall, I take Huperzine A, it worked within a week. Gingko Bilova is another supplement in addition to above that opens the blood vessels in the brain for better blood and oxygen circulation to improve brain function and memory.
I would start with one supplement at a time, observe yourself as far as how its affecting you, then add on the others after about a month or more each.
For hot flushes, I have read that taking Evening Primrose Oil could help pre or post menopausal symptoms.Replied by Mike
Denver, Colorado
09/12/2013Gert: You can get raw thai fish sauce that has been fermented for 2 years and take 30 grams per day. The salt is sun dried sea salt. Lots of sun dried sea salt is good. The nutrients are raw fermented and wild harvested the most bioactive kind. This product has iodine for the thyroid. You can get a case of 12 7oz. bottles shipped for $56.Replied by Gert
09/12/2013I appreciate all the tips, but my question was does anyone have experience with vivelle? I cannot take mg due to my ibs-d. As stated in my post, I have tried everything--I wouldn't be going this route had I not given it all a good shot. BTW, vit e does reduce the hot flashes. Evening primrose oil, used as a suppository, helps w/ vag issues but makes a mess. I travel for work, so I can't have this mess every night. I need to conquer the insomnia and cannot take mg or I get diarrhea. Melatonin triggers my migraines. I need a response regarding bioidentical hormones.Replied by Mike
Denver, Colorado
09/12/2013Gert: I can tell you from my own experience and the testamonials I have seen from videos on youtube that the only way to get well is to go on a complete good food program. Taking 1 kg of regular food that is devoid of nutrients and life force cannot be fixed by taking a few grams of supplements. The doctor sells synthetic meds for profit not to make people well. Bioidentical hormones are a waste of money. Try to get all your nutrients from raw organic grass fed wild harvested soaked sprouted and fermented foods.Replied by Toourlady89

09/12/2013There are several forms of Mg. Not all Mg will cause diarrhea. Mg Oxide definitely will and Mg Citrate could. Magtein will not. Mg actually will also help in IBS accdg. to the book "The Magnesium Miracle".Replied by Gert
09/13/2013To Mike:
So, you've experienced menopause? The only "fix" for menopause is to outlast it, or die. You can not "fix" it by eating or taking something special. Support your claim that bio-identical hormones are worthless, please. You have no idea how I eat or anything else, yet you persist in your zeal to tell me what I should do. I agree, the most nutritious foods, organically grown on good, fertile ground is best. I grow an organic garden from which I get most of my fruits and vegetables. I have free range hens from which I get eggs and meat. I have pastured steers from which I get my beef and several goats for milk. None of this food has been medicated or treated with antibiotics or insecticides, ever. Also, I forage for wild greens and herbs on my 89 acres. My water comes from a well, so no added flouride there, and it has tested pure for microorganisms, but it is high in minerals. So, you are telling me to go out and buy a processed grass product and it will make me better? I don't believe it will change anything, since the hormones are what is out of whack. I have now been on the vivelle patch for 4 days and my mind is so much clearer, I have no hot flashes, and my itchy vag is better. Still nothing as far as sleep, but I'll take what I can get. Don't tell me these hormones are worthless-I am living proof that I got relief in several days. Again, I was merely asking if anyone had experience with this hormone issue.Replied by Carly

09/13/2013Hi Gert!
I am just entering this arena. At 50 plus years old, and no concrete signs of menopause yet..... I can still tell something is looming on the horizon. Kind of like a Steven King movie. ;-).
I just wanted to say that I love your attitude, and envy you your food / lifestyle! Seriously, what you are doing sounds wonderful!
Please keep us updated on how it is going re menopause, and what you are taking? I am reading all I can in anticipation of outliving mine. Lol... Oh, and best wishes!Replied by Joy

09/14/2013I read a lot about hormones but mine are not in balance yet. Estrogens can cause cancer growth if not balanced with progesterone. I use a progesterone cream by Em..... Sold over the internet and there are lots of good reviews on the product. Dr. John Lee was an ob/gyn who wrote a book What your doctor may not tell you about menopause. The body loses its ability to produce progesterone but fat cells can produce estrogens.Replied by Gert
09/16/2013I am on vivelle dot, 0.05, new patch twice a week. I also use estrace cream for vag itch/dryness 3X per week. Only reason I'm doing it is for the insomnia--and I can't tell any difference yet. I was taking vit E for hot flashes and may start again, as I get them now at night when before I had them constantly. My sister swears by sepa (homeopathic pellets). I had total hysterectomy 7. 5 years ago and didn't really have any problems at all until the past year or so, can't say why that is. The thing about menopause is, everyone is different. I do everything right and have issues, my sister does almost nothing right and only has slight issues. It's Not Fair! As mom always said, life is not fair. Deal with it.

YEA (1) 50% WARNING! (1) 50% Posted by Kristi (Cleburne, Texas) on 01/19/2009
[YEA] Women need to know that PROGESTERONE does not cause cancer. Synthetic forms of progesterone such as progestin and provera and synthetic, unopposed or too much estrogen in the body can facilitate cancer growth.
Also, we have to be willing to make the dietary changes and move more. Most women would need NO hormones or medication whatsoever, if we would change our eating habits and take the supplements recommended.
This is what I finally decided to do and it is paying off. You need to be prepared for the fact that it can take years to restore your body. After all it took decades to get where we are!Replied by Denisecorc

12/17/2010[WARNING!] It's important that every woman do research before using any hormones, even progesterone cream (which is toted as natural). All hormones have the potential for side effects. With progesterone, the effects are cumulative since it is fat soluble. So it gets stored in tissues. Even if taking it seems fine initially, over time it may create negative side effects and disrupt your adrenal hormones, DHEA and testosterone levels. It can cause all sorts of mood swings, facial hair, weight gain, etc. If you are considering, make sure you see a doc that practices functional medicine or a naturpath who knows how to balance properly. Best to test and treat your adrenal issues first as progesterone may not be needed once corrected.Replied by Joy

09/14/20133 different ob/gyn doctors never did a single test to put me on birth control pills ... this is the standard for most young women in America taking the pill. My current ob/gyn handed me premerin with no tests and it caused a problem in my throat for a year from one tiny 1 inch long sample tube. My current ob/gyn ran my hormone blood work and told me all is normal for menopausal woman.
Read some books, you can get different homone levels at different times of the day and month, it seems to be a crab shoot and every woman is different.
My medical insurance doesn't cover any MD WITH AN ND education, so we are on our own. The system is killing us.
Adrenal issues are frequently brought on by stress, which throws hormones, electrolytes and vitamins out of balance.... The fight or flight syndrome creates cortisol by borrowing elements from the body to prepare it to run from the bear.Replied by Aaron

Does anyone have advice on naturally balancing hormones without birth control? Please help!!!
EC: Make sure to read the feedback/remedies on this our hormones page, including the Q&A page: http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/hormones_questions.htmlReplied by Stephanie
Charlotte, NC, USA
01/28/2009In regards to Ambrosia's question about balancing hormones without birth control, here is what has helped me a great deal (taken on a daily basis):
- (Super) Greens (powdered - combination of barley, kelp, etc. - between 1-2 tablespoons in water, depending on how tired I am)
- Magnesium (powdered, flavored-in about 8 oz. water) (about 300mg., though I occasionally take a little more if I am really tired)
- Fish Oil (1 gel cap)
- Probiotics (2 pills)
- Super B Complex pills (B vitamins that includes folic acid, etc. - 2 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon.)
- Minerals (multiple trace minerals - 2 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon)
With the above, I don't have the mood swings and I do have more energy. In fact, if I don't take the Super Greens and Magnesium, it's evident because the mood swings start again. Before starting on these, I would start crying anytime and not even know why. And I was sooooo tired - I really was not functioning well at all. I do suggest taking the Magnesium and Super Greens at least 1 hour apart. Otherwise you may have an upset stomach for a little while. Hope this helps!
Remedies for High Prolactin 0 0Posted by Happy Horse Hunter (Nyc, Ny) on 02/07/2013
Hi guys, anyone out there know anything about high prolactin or hyperprolactinemia and controlling it naturally? Thanks in advance for your time!Replied by Tina
Houston, Usa
02/08/2013Hello, I have successfully resolved high prolactin levels and a pituitary tumor using Standard Process Pituitrophin PMG, a natural food based product. Also if you google endoflex, it is exceptional at maintaining a balance in your entire endocrine system. Since pituitary is the master gland, an unbalanced pituitary means the other glands are unbalanced too.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
Good luck, T.Replied by Eduardo

05/28/2013Hi Tina, Would love to know more about your experience with PMG. My wife has a pituitary tumor and her prolactin levels are high. She's been on homeopathic therapy (and supplements) for more than a year, but we have not seen much improvement. She can't loose the weight (or looses some and gains back more) and has lots of emotional highs and lows due to the hormonal imbalances. I really don't want her to start on any prescription drugs, so I'm doing research to see what other alternatives she has.
Thanks!Replied by Ra

06/12/2013Taking Standard Process PITUITROPHIN PMG 3 tablets per day brought my prolactin levels down (they were in their 80s) and resolved my menstrual cycle problem. It is available on Amazon. com and is completely natural product. Hope this helps.Replied by Ra

YEA (1) 100% Posted by Janet (Delaware, USA) on 08/30/2008
[YEA] I was very curious to see vitamin E listed as a remedy on your anti-aging page. I feel very strongly that vitamin e is essential for women as they age. I know it helps me with hormonal fluctations and I notice that I have more vitality on the days when I take it. I have taken E off and on for at about 15 years and am now in my early forties. It's been great as a pms remedy and an after-menstrual-cycle-is-over remedy. I was trying to find out good dosages for E and came across an article that Vit E might act as a substitute for estrogen, which is why it is suggested for menopausal symptoms like hot flashes. Has anyone been taking vitamin E for perimenopause or menopause? Thanks.
Zinc, Wild Yam Cream 0 0Posted by Jen (Bozeman, Mt, Us) on 09/13/2011
Zinc works because it helps to bring your progesterone back up. Estrogen tends to dominate in alot of us women. Especially when you hit 30 . Wild yam cream has natural progesterone in it. I rub a little on my wrists in the morning and sometimes at night if I am feeling less frisky than usual. It is something you can adjust as needed. Estrogen and copper will also help if you are the opposite and your progesterone is too high. I gage which is high or low by my periods and my mood. If I am short tempered and my period is heavy and/or long I need more progesterone. If I am anxious and my period is light and/or short then I need more estrogen. Usually I am low on progesterone though.
I always make sure to supplement low dose of the opposite though so that you don't throw other things out of whack. Like your thyroid which needs copper and zinc. So if I am low on progesterone I use the cream in the morning and night on my wrists and I take 2 mg (RDA is 2 mg) of copper with at least 10 to 15 mg of zinc (RDA is 8 mg). Alot of us are low on estrogen because we are taking so much zinc to boost our immune system so be careful when your doing that. Make sure your taking copper too. If estrogen or progesterone is out of whack we don't feel desire. We also need testosterone which you can also get from zinc and DHEA (half of a 25 mg tablet per day) if you think your low there.Replied by Miss Saucy Jakk

GLENDORA, Calif. – The NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Series will crown its first round of 2013 Champions this weekend at Rocky Mountain Raceways just outside Salt Lake City. A/Fuel, Jr. Fuel and 7.0 Eliminator will each wrap up their points season which has made stops at Auto Club Famoso Raceway, north of Bakersfield, California, and at Sacramento Raceway earlier this year.
The A/Fuel class is by far the tightest race with three drivers within 2 points of each other, and a pair of others within a couple of rounds. Bill Wayne leads Jerry Kumre and 5-time series champion Kin Bates by just two points. Bates won the last event in Sacramento while Darrell Waters won the season opener in Bakersfield who sits in fifth with an outside shot at the title. Mike Pawluk is fourth with a runner-up finish in Sacramento.
Wayne Ramay, who took over the driving duties for Bud Hammer in the Hammer-Hansen-Hook entry, leads the Jr. Fuel class with a win and a runner-up. Ramay is followed by defending series champion Don Enriquez 39 points back and J.D. Zink who still has a mathematical shot, 86 back.
Michael Peck and Bobby Cottrel are in a battle by themselves for the 7.0 Eliminator title with Peck holding a 39 point lead which equates to two rounds of racing. Peck has two wins this season beating Cottrel in both final rounds.
Also in action this weekend is the series' Nostalgia Funny Car class with Dan Horan leading the points with a pair of final round appearances and a point's total of 301. Tim Boychuck sits in second at 273 with a win at the March Meet to open the season followed by defending series champion Jason Rupert who took home the trophy at Mission Raceway Park last month. The Funny Car class will make a final stop in Bakersfield for the 22nd California Hot Rod Reunion presented by Automobile Club of Southern California, Oct. 18-20.
Racing kicks off at Rocky Mountain Raceway on Friday evening with a single qualifying run for all classes followed by final qualifying and elimination rounds beginning Saturday morning and running into the night. For more information contact the track at 801-252-9557 or visit www.rmrracing.com.

Thorlos Value
Value comes in many forms. But we are keenly aware that it boils down to you get what you pay for when you pay $14.95 for a pair of Thorlos, we know you have to get a lot in order for you to consider it a bargain. And that's the goal we set for ourselves giving you so much more than you expect in terms of protection, comfort and foot health.
Over the years, our new and long-time loyal customers have told us time and again in their testimonials why they experience Thorlos as the best socks to protect their feet. They have highlighted six different types of value you can count on from your Thorlos, and that's why they consider Thorlos such a bargain. Here is what you can hold us to, and some recent unsolicited testimonials that capture what current wearers have shared regarding their personal experiences
Functional Effectiveness – Thorlos are designed to provide the best price/value proposition
"These are the first socks I've ever worn that both comfort my abused feet, stay up all day without slippage and yet do not constrict my calves. Love these socks!! Worth every penny." Susan J.
"These socks keep my feet warm but also dry. They're like nothing else I've found, worth the money." Robert F.
"I have worn these socks for years to work, at home and to bed. Love these socks, great fit, great support all day long, and wear forever wash after wash. Buy these socks and you will never buy any other sock." Kathy S.
Durability – Thorlos are designed to last
"Since I bought my first pair of Thorlos socks, I have bought no other brand. The quality and comfort are unique. I buy a fraction of the socks I used to buy because Thorlos last so long. I am sure I am paying less for socks because of that. Even after months of use and washings, these look great and fit well." Richard B.
"I wear these socks to work every day. I manage a large vineyard so in the course of my job I do a fair amount of walking each day and I have found these to be the most comfortable socks I have ever used. They may be a little more expensive than other brands but I will wear them three to four times longer and they still feel good after years of service." Rand D.
"I have worn Thorlo for at least 20 years. Nothing out there will stand up to the punishment of these socks. I don't have to buy but every 5 to 6 years. I love your socks! " Brent S.
"This is only my second time ordering because these socks LAST. I have other socks that wear thin in a year and get pitched. Worth the money considering the quality." Kendra L.
Evidenced-based Benefits – Thorlos have been clinically shown to reduce blisters, reduce foot pain, reduce pressures and wick moisture
"Cheap socks were giving my feet blisters if I walked even a mile. Thorlos socks have never given me a blister. Count me very satisfied. These are expensive socks, and worth every penny." Michael C.
"I no longer have plantar fasciitis in using these Thor-Lo socks, nor pain in my calves. Amazing cushion while I run both long distance and conducting my interval trainings. Highly recommended!" Thomas B.
"Thorlos are the best socks on the market. Quality is top notch, they last a long time, the cushion is great and they are MADE IN THE USA! THORLON has wonderful wicking properties and completely prevents blisters. Doesn't matter how warm your feet are when you take Thorlos off because your feet are dry!!" Peg G.
Satisfaction/Enjoyment – Thorlos foot protection provides unsurpassed comfort
"Anybody who is active in sports or spends a lot of time on their feet should invest in Thorlos [padded] socks as their product isn't just another pair of socks. They're engineered for maximum comfort in whatever sport or use they're designed for. If you're into tennis or running, you have a lot invested in your feet and footwear and clothing .It makes sense not to skimp on your socks after you've tried on a pair of their socks as their socks are the only brand I'll wear because after I discovered them ,I'd never wear anything else-they're that good!!" Stephen M.
"I LOVE ALL my Thorlo [padded] socks. These socks fit perfectly. They NEVER slide down during the entire day, yet they do not cut off your circulation. I have no interest in buying any other brand of sock." Dee Dee S.
"You cannot beat the performance and comfort of these socks. Buying them online is fast and easy. You won't be sorry you tried these socks if you like thick, comfortable, long lasting socks! And best of all they are made in the USA." Gary B
Brand Promise Guarantee – Thorlos: Your feet will feel better or your money back®. Customers reinforce our promise in their feedback:
"Our whole family of five wears Thorlo socks, you won't get a better sock anywhere! Definitely worth the investment...I guarantee you that you will be in love with these [padded] socks and will never buy others ever again." Shari M.
"I don't wear any other [padded] socks unless all of my Thorlos are dirty!! Until I tried Thorlos, I thought "socks" were "socks". NOT!! I have some Thorlos that I have been wearing....probably weekly or almost.....for over 10 years! No other socks compare as far as I am concerned. I wear them for hiking, backpacking, hunting, fishing, work, play...every day! Don't mess with my Thorlos! Buy some. I guarantee if you don't like them, you can give them to me!" Brent M.
"I bought these as a gift for a retired football player. He introduced me to Thorlos and guaranteed they were the best socks ever. He was right!" Rebecca T.
Service – Thorlos customer service matches our product performance
"I just wanted to send a quick note to say that Becky Bass is the most helpful customer service rep I've worked with, out of any business I've called or emailed! She was so nice, and an A+ example of terrific customer service. I'll definitely keep coming back to Thorlos. Thanks so much!" Sarah B.
"I rarely take time to do these kinds of things, but I want to bring to your attention the excellent (actually unbelievable) customer service that I received from Susan Graham. The details are available from her, but I had a small issue with placing a web order, and Susan went above and beyond to assist me. Her customer service, in short, was the best I have ever received from any company, period. This quality reflects well on both your leadership and the company." Scott C.
"I am a Disney trained customer service "nut". I will not give my business to those that don't give OUTSTANDING customer service. Susan Graham just topped everyone that I have done business with in several years. Her caring and concern for her customer is very apparent. My business won't make or break your organization. However, if Susan's attitude is representative of your company's culture THORLO is in good hands." Ronald P.
Overall Value Means More Activity, Resulting in More Life!
All of these values lead in one way or another to a better quality of life. We call it More Life! The ultimate value or end-benefit wearers of Thorlos realize is the ability to do more of what they love…the things that keep them vital in body, mind and spirit.
Here's what we've heard most recently about the Thorlos price-value relationship:

Comfortable socks

01/13/13 | By Don J.
I am on my feet 6 hr.s a day, 5 days a week, moving the entire time. After work I go to the gym for an hr. and 1/2 work out. My feet are never tired nor do they hurt. When I take them off at night I feel like I haven't done anything to injure them all day. I'm glad I found these terrific socks and I tell everyone about them. I have one pair that I wear every third day and I have had them for 1.5 years and they still feel like new. Keep up the good work.
Style: LRCW
Great socks for any kind of activity.
01/10/13 | By Sheila G.
I had calluses on the bottoms of my feet and went to a Podiatrist. He said the socks that I was wearing were not the proper socks for exercising,and suggested Thorlos. I've been a fan ever since. These socks are so comfortable. My foot no longer slips inside my tennis shoes causing the calluses that I once had. Well worth the money!
Style: XJ
Only sock my husband has worn for 30+ years
My husband has run for years, although recently, upon reaching age 70, he walks. These socks are essential to him, both on workouts and in daily life. After he "wears them out," which takes years, we buy him a new set. I then use his old set with my gardening boots, and they are still great.

Q: Why does this offer include Surface RT but not Surface Pro?
A: Surface RT is a great tablet that lets you get stuff done and is optimised for mobile scenarios where long battery life and a thin, light form factor are critical. We want this audience of educators to be able to experience the benefits of Surface RT first-hand, including Windows RT's enterprise ready form-factors, a reimagined application platform and a touch-first UI to enable new mobility and productivity scenarios that meet IT standards for security, manageability and support.

In preparation for Māori Language Week 2013, Microsoft has announced that the choice to use te reo Māori in Windows 8, Office 2013, Outlook.com, and Internet Explorer 10 is available now.
"We are thrilled to continue our support for te reo Maori," says Paul Muckleston, Managing Director of Microsoft New Zealand Limited. "We are grateful for the hard work that so many people have done to make it possible to weave this taonga into the very latest of tablet, smartphone, PC, and cloud technologies."
"We are also announcing our support for a new initiative that can bring free te reo Maori translations to the Internet with the Microsoft Translator Hub in the future," says Muckleston.
Glenis Philip-Barbara, Chief Executive of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori, adds that support for te reo Māori in technology is essential for investing in tamariki by offering an interface from their school years. This allows youth to be immersed in te reo for life.
New support for te reo Māori in Microsoft products includes the following:
All of these te reo Māori options are available today at no extra cost, through a simple change in the Language Settings (Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10, Outlook.com, and Windows Phone 8), or with a free download (Office 2013 from http://aka.ms/Office2013inTeReo). You can see screenshots of how it looks once the language packs are installed here: http://sdrv.ms/14aZVLE.
