I am on match looking for something I may or I may not find, I try and I stumble, I will not lie, I will get a little jealous, I think we all do. I am not looking for perfection, I am looking for my good friend, companion, lover, pain in the butt. I miss holding hands, slow dancing, going for walks, little arguments and making up, well I hate to admit it but my smarter half.

Hi guys
I was wondering what WP8 is like now? I beta tested it just before it was launched on the 8S and it crashed quite a lot. However, it did feel more like an iPhone than an Android device felt.
Anyway - my iPhone 5 is acting up (think the speakerphone is faulty as calls to me are breaking up but they can hear me fine). I am interested in a WP8 device.... and don't know if I should go for the Nokia 1020 (64GB) or 1520 (32GB due out soon).
I'd quite like a larger display for when I use my sat nav in the car.
I am trying to get out of the whole 'loads of Apps' thing like on the iPhone (spent ££££ on apps!) and really want to use it for:
Calls, texts, email, Deezer, Sat Nav - maybe some games, online banking ie with HSBC / Barclays.
Is there a website which you can check out what apps are available? Anything I need to know about? Can I store apps on SD yet (1520) or is it just music / photos?

Do I need to setup a new network using the XP wizard?
Jump to content
NIck, I solved my problem. It was a stupid mistake on my part. Under the 'properties' of my network connection there are a bunch of services, TCP/IP, etc, I had not checked the 'file and printer shring checkbox'. Once I had done that no problem. Oh yeah I also only use WEP encryption, not the one up from that.
One more thing, I have never managed to use the standard explorer to connect to my PC, trust me, get Resco file explorer, its worth every penny.
WHere can I find the property settings for the network on the SPV M600. Never found anything like these settings mentioned above

Other than the obvious — I went in sick as a dog and came home well on the road to recovery — there aren't many upsides to spending six days in the hospital. But for someone like me, who has spent 20 years studying and opining on the challenges facing America's health care system from the outside, it was useful to get an up-close look at the state of play.
Other than the obvious — I went in sick as a dog and came home well on the road to recovery — there aren't many upsides to spending six days in the hospital. But for someone like me, who has spent 20 years studying and opining on the challenges facing America's health care system from the outside, it was useful to get an up-close look at the state of play.
So let me share a few of the things I learned from a patient's bed:
— Information technology, long pitched as a path to better, less expensive health care, is still a work-in-progress.
Like most patients, I was first examined and tested by my primary care physician in a group practice whose computers can't communicate directly with the hospital's computers. So when I was referred to a specialist based in the hospital, my records and test results were sent using a tool that was cutting-edge back in the '80s: by fax.
Faxes have always had a habit of landing in the wrong person's mail slot, so when I arrived at the hospital to consult with a specialist, my records and test results hadn't arrived.
But there's a bright side: My main provider allows patients to access their health records online. So I pulled out my smartphone, went to the website and was able to show the specialist all the test results she needed.
— The rise of the hospitalists.
In the old days, your family doctor followed you to the hospital, coordinating your care and checking up on you. That's nice for the patient, who has already established a bond of trust with the physician, but it's also as
inefficient as a house call.
Primary care physicians need to be seeing a lot of patients at their offices, not running back and forth between office and hospital. And while the PCPs may know their patients, they don't necessarily know as much about getting the most out of the hospital.
So like many others, the hospital that took me in, MetroWest Medical Center, uses "hospitalists": physicians trained to coordinate patient care. They visit the patients regularly, and work directly with specialists and nursing staff. The key is communication, since there are so many moving parts in caring for patients with multiple needs, and the hospitalists I dealt with seemed to do their jobs well.
— Information technology is a work in progress, part 2.
At MetroWest Medical Center, nurses now have laptops on carts. They scan the bar-code on your wristband and scan the meds they are giving you, with every action uploaded into your record. It reduces errors, tracks pharmacy inventory and makes important data available to every physician on your case.
Page 2 of 3 - Not every patient floor has that technology, unfortunately, so there's still a lot of photocopying that must be done, and upgrading information technology is an expensive investment. But if you can find a way to pay for it — especially difficult in the fragmented health care system — technology is capable of delivering large gains in quality and productivity.
— Doctors of many nations.
The team of physicians working on my case included a Swede, an Egyptian, two Indians, two Chinese and a couple of American gastro-intestinal specialists. All were highly capable and I have no complaints. But I couldn't help wondering why there weren't more Americans clamoring for these jobs. It's not exactly picking produce.
— Incentives to better practices.
I was moved to a private room at the first suspicion that I might be contagious. This, I was told, stemmed in part from the new reluctance of insurance companies to pay for hospital-acquired infections. In the same vein, some insurers will no longer reimburse the costs of treating bedsores, which has led to new rules for patient care. In health care, the folks paying the bills have tremendous power.
— Skin in the game.
Some health reform advocates, particularly on the right, argue that the way to increase competition and reduce spending is to give patients greater control over health care decisions. These "skin in the game" theorists imagine empowered consumers, with their own money on the line, will make smart, well-researched decisions that will drive quality up and costs down.
Such ideological thinking collides with reality in the patient's hospital bed. I had six diagnostic procedures during my hospital stay — CT scans, a colonoscopy, ultrasound and the like, while my docs tried to figure out what was wrong with me.
Since I've often complained in these pages about the high cost of unnecessary tests and procedures, I tried to be skeptical about my physicians' recommendations, but when a specialist says "we really need to do a biopsy to see if there's a tumor," it's awfully hard to say no.
Skin-in-the-game theorists think if I had to shell out a couple of hundred bucks for each of these tests, it would be a fine reform. I can't say whether I would have opted for each of the tests recommended to me, but I was in no position to go comparison-shopping for CT scans, I doubt I would have made the right decisions — and I would have really resented being put in that position.
— Whatever's wrong with our health care system, it's not the people in it.
The people who cared for me during my hospital stay — from the physicians, nurses and aides to the volunteers who rolled me down to my tests and the woman who brought me my newspaper every morning — were, without exception, professional, compassionate, friendly and kind.
Page 3 of 3 - Being sick is tough. Being surrounded by caring people is good medicine.

help 4.5 vs 9 inch bricks for the dome
Im planing to build a pompei type oven primarily for bread and I was planing to use 9" fire bricks for the dome untill I read the piece about too much thermal mass. What are the disadvantages of using 9 inch brick for the dome, what is the difference in firing time to get the oven to the proper temperature? How long does it take the 4.5" dome to reach it and what should I expecte if i use 9"? And what about thermal capacity, by reducing the size of the dome would I have enough heat to bake my bread?
Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions.
In Need of Assistance
How much bread?
In a way, I think it depends on how much bread you want to bake. If you want to do bake one batch of bread (20-30 loaves) from a single firing, then the standard Pompeii oven with 4 1/2" of dome will be right for you. It will fire in about an hour and easily hold enough heat for a batch of bread. You can also do that with a refractory oven.
A longer heat up time than that is not only a hassle, it costs real $ in fuel, and I think it is bad for the environment.
If your bread desires are more than that, or you are starting a commercial microbakery, you might think about the "mailbox" design. It is a rectangular barrel vault, with 4 1/2" of brick and 4-5" of additional concrete. It takes 3 hours to fire, but can bake 2-3 batches (75-odd) loaves from one firing.

some more questions
Yes, thank you very much James.
The oven is for domestic use and the plan is for a 42 diameter and 20- 21 dome. I dont have any specific cooking plans in mind, is going to be used occasionally and I was hopping for couple of cooking cycles maybe once for bread and the other for a roast with each firing. I have Alan Scotts book with the plans for the barrel oven but I like the challenge of building a Pompeii type oven, after all its a Hemi oven.
The other think I was going to ask was about cladding, I didnt see any specific information on the side, and do you use any on your oven? Do I need it? And if yes how much should I use.
Thanks again for your help
The standard 4 1/2" dome (1/2 a brick) is fine for being able to cook both a load of bread & a roast afterwards. I cook pizza at 700F (hearth temp), let the fire burn out and cook bread once it cools to 400ish. Then I'll throw in a roast to wrap it all up. Doing the bread gives it something to do while I wait for the oven to cool to roasting temps -- 325ish for turkey or pork, 250-275 for a long roasting prime rib.
I'll also cook roasts in the oven with a fire wrapped around the roasting pan (not from retained heat) so you've got lots of options with this. That's one of the reasons I made the 42" oven -- the Scott I built wasn't wide enough for fire in the oven cooking.
As for cladding, you don't clad the Pompeii. As you build the dome you "butter" it with mortar. You'll end up with about a 1/2" thick coating on the dome when you're done. This is sufficient for the oven and does not require a cladding layer like Alan's design (the cladding is for the extra thermal mass he designs for -- which allows for more loads of bread but requires substantially more heating time).
Sealer On The Dome
Jim and others,
I would like to seal the dome once completed, but I would not want to trap IN any moisture. How many firings do you think should take place before sealing the dome?
Bob C.
Great pizza, a cold beer,a great cigar and great friends...my idea of a great time
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 0 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Go with James and Jims recommendations of a 4.5 - 5 inch oven shell. Using full 9 inch bricks on their ends is for much larger commercial ovens that will be fired every day for several bakings. The key to the efficiency of these small round ovens for home use is the insulation you put under and around it.

Zuppa di Cozze Come la Fanno a Bosa
Like other coastal towns on Sardinia, Bosa also has an excellent maritime cuisine. An example is this excellent mussels soup. Two ingredients unique to it are the grated sheep's milk cheese that cooks along with the mussels, deepening their flavor, and the bread crumbssome Sardinian cooks use couscous insteadthat add texture and density to the mussel juices.
YIELD: For 4 Persons
1. Cut away any protruding tufts from the mussels. Set aside any whose shells are even slightly open and tap them sharply. Check them after 2 or 3 minutes and throw out all those that are still open. Drop the mussels in a basin or large bowl full of cold water, move them around a little bit, then let them settle for a few minutes. Retrieve them without stirring up the water. Pour the water out slowly to see if any sand has collected at the bottom. If any has, rinse out the container, refill it with fresh cold water, and drop the mussels into it again. Repeat this procedure until the water runs clear.
2. Pour the olive oil into a 6-quart saucepan, add the garlic, turn on the heat to medium high, and cook the garlic, stirring occasionally, until it becomes colored a light gold. Add the parsley, stir two or three times, then add the bread crumbs, stirring for a few seconds.
3. Put the drained mussels in the pot, turn them around a bit, then cover the pot. Uncover after a few minutes, add the grated pecorino cheese, stirring it well into the pot.
4. Add the white wine, let it bubble away briskly for two to three minutes, then put in the tomatoes and the chili pepper. Turn the contents of the pot over two or three times and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Place a slice or two of toasted or grilled bread in each individual soup bowl, distribute the contents of the pot over the bread, and serve piping hot.

by Millipede Peevish men, wives who watched every word and worse they really embraced the submission beliefs. The wives would gripe very rarely about their husbands and the work and if they did they were sure to say that they weren't in disagreement with the system, ,merely letting off a little steam.The women were just as much true believers. This isn't as I first thought/hoped in that Patriarchy can be a humane system for women. Instead I realized that there will always be those who for varying reasons, become ardent followers of movements which harm them. There are women who will accept or even come to love degradation if it comes approval and "love". Look at people in … [Read more...]

by MillipedeAlthough the "dress code" was the most glaring example of our changing mindset.There were other changes which were just as bad if not worse in the long run.My husband started to implement "order in the home". Although not as extreme as the other men, he considered himself the head of the household. Sure, I could argue, but if he stuck to his guns on something, I was expected to follow. I could be stubborn, but there were plenty of things that I gave way. Dressing in skirts out in public wasn't the only one. Staying at home, I let him control the finances. Sure, I could give advice, nag and so on, but in the end, he decided all things. A lot of things happened that in … [Read more...]

Emotional Incest Part 4: The Pain

Don't Lead Until You Have Earned the Right to Lead in a New Job
Here is a brief excerpt from a leadership column posted by George Bradt at the Forbes magazine website. To check out a wealth of free materials, learn more about George and his firm, and sign up for email alerts, please click here.
About 40% of executives who change jobs or get promoted fail in the first 18 months." As Anne Fisher points out in a recent Fortune article, this has been true for about 15 years.
A big reason for the ongoing failure rate is the inability of executives to determine the right time to pivot from converging (becoming part of the team) to evolving (initiating change) when they are onboarding, changing jobs or getting promoted – and the inability of others to help them get this timing right.
Let's unpack that into three musts for executives:
1. Must adopt a converge and evolve approach to onboarding
2. Must make a conscious choice about pivoting from converging to evolving
3. Must time that pivot right
Must Converge and Evolve
We use an ACES approach to onboarding, in which leaders make a choice based on the business context and corporate culture of the company whether to Assimilate in, Converge and Evolve, or Shock a system by making immediate changes.
Understand that while there are certainly some situations where it's right to shock a system or simply assimilate in, in the vast majority of cases, converging and evolving is the right approach. New leaders cannot lead until they have established a working relationship with their followers.
Hence, converge and evolve. Ajay Banga did this particularly well when he went into MasterCard.
Must Choose to Pivot
Converging and evolving are different. The activities are different. The skills utilized are different. This is why a new leader can't do both at the same time. This is why it's so important to have a clear pivot point between asking/converging and leading/evolving.
QlikTech's Lars Bjork used his first annual meeting to do this, and it worked so well that he pulls his whole company together every year to pivot from the learnings of the year before to the priorities of the year ahead.
This is a critical part of step 2 of The New Leader's Playbook: Engage the Culture and Your New Colleagues in the Right Context
Be careful about how you engage with the organization's existing business context and culture. Crossing the need for change based on the context and the cultural readiness for change can help you decide whether to Assimilate, Converge and Evolve (fast or slow), or Shock.

Why it is imperative to hire for attitude
Here is an excerpt from an article by Dan Schawbel and featured online at the Forbes website. In it, Mark Murphy explains why a job candidate's attitude is more important than talent, skills, and experience. To read the complete article, please click here.
* * *
Mark Murphy is the author Hiring for Attitude, as well as the bestsellers Hundred Percenters and HARD Goals. The founder and CEO of Leadership IQ, a top-rated provider of cutting-edge research and leadership training, Mark has personally provided guidance to more than 100,000 leaders from virtually every industry and half the Fortune 500. His public leadership seminars, custom corporate training, and online training programs have yielded remarkable results for companies including Microsoft, IBM, GE, MasterCard, Merck, AstraZeneca, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Johns Hopkins.
In this interview, Mark talks about why so many new hires fail so quickly, why soft skills are so important now, how the hiring landscape is changing, and more.
Why do so many fail within the first 18 months of taking a job?
When our research tracked 20,000 new hires, 46% of them failed within 18 months. But even more surprising than the failure rate, was that when new hires failed, 89% of the time it was for attitudinal reasons and only 11% of the time for a lack of skill. The attitudinal deficits that doomed these failed hires included a lack of coachability, low levels of emotional intelligence, motivation and temperament.
Are technical and soft skills less important than attitude? Why?
It's not that technical skills aren't important, but they're much easier to assess (that's why attitude, not skills, is the top predictor of a new hire's success or failure). Virtually every job (from neurosurgeon to engineer to cashier) has tests that can assess technical proficiency. But what those tests don't assess is attitude; whether a candidate is motivated to learn new skills, think innovatively, cope with failure, assimilate feedback and coaching, collaborate with teammates, and so forth.
Soft skills are the capabilities that attitude can enhance or undermine. For example, a newly hired executive may have the intelligence, business experience and financial acumen to fit well in a new role. But if that same executive has an authoritarian, hard-driving style, and they're being hired into a social culture where happiness and camaraderie are paramount, that combination is unlikely to work. Additionally, many training programs have demonstrated success with increasing and improving skills—especially on the technical side. But these same programs are notoriously weak when it comes to creating attitudinal change. As Herb Kelleher, former Southwest Airlines CEO used to say, "we can change skill levels through training, but we can't change attitude."
How will the hiring landscape be different in 2012 and beyond?
Between the labor pool from China and India and the fact that there are so many workers sitting out there unemployed, we can find the skills we need. The lack of sharp wage increases in most job categories is further evidence of the abundant supply of skills. Technical proficiency, once a guarantee of lifetime employment, is a commodity in today's job market. Attitude is what today's companies are hiring for. And not just any attitude; companies want attitudes that perfectly match their unique culture. Google and Apple are both great companies, but their cultures are as different as night and day.
As the focus on hiring has shifted away from technical proficiency and onto attitude, it's precipitated a lot of tactical changes in how job interviews are conducted. For example, the new kinds of interview questions being asked are providing real information about attitude instead of the vague or canned answers hiring managers used to get. Smarter companies are less likely to rely on the old standby questions like "tell me about yourself" and "what are your weaknesses?" Companies now have answer keys by which to accurately rate candidate's answers. Interviewers can listen to candidates' verb tense and other grammar choices and make accurate determinations about someone's future performance potential.

Robert W. Selander in "The Corner Office"
Adam Bryant conducts interviews of senior-level executives that appear in his "Corner Office" column each week in the SundayBusiness section of The New York Times. Here are a few insights provided during an interview of Robert W. Selander, chief executive of MasterCard. He retired from the C.E.O. position on July 1, after 14 years in the job. To read the complete interview, please click here.
Bryant: Let's say you're interviewing me for a job reporting directly to you. How does that conversation go?
Selander: Beyond the discussion of what you're going to do for us, I want to know two or three of your strengths and weaknesses. And then I'm going to ask you about those two or three things that you've acknowledged are flat sides, and how you think we should work on those, how you think we should ensure those don't become barriers to success.
I think probably the final thing is that I'm going to try to ensure — and I'm going to ask you if you feel good in your gut about it — that there is going to be some chemistry here, that you're not out in left field and I'm out in right field from our respective positions, that we're in fact sort of more or less in the center of the infield together.
Bryant: What qualities are you looking for in hires?
Selander: What I'm looking for is always the same. The more senior a person, the richer I expect them to be in these attributes.
The top two are leadership and results. From a leadership standpoint, I would expect you, as a more senior executive, to be able to talk about where you've provided strategic leadership. It doesn't mean you're a brilliant strategist, but you've been able to get a team together to agree on who the target customer is, what products and services you're going to offer them, and the value and competitive advantage you're going to create.
Tell me about what you've done in bringing along talent. Tell me about difficult things you had to do in terms of reconfiguring a team, or whatever. Talk to me about successes and all the net talent you provided to other parts of the companies you worked in.
The second would be results. At the end of the day, I want to have people who have been able to, and will continue to be able to, deliver results. That can mean starting with a clean sheet of paper and having a very credible business three or four years later. It can mean going in and taking over something that's already very big and making it better, whether that's revenues, expense management, bottom-line profitability.

FGCU men's basketball notebook: Gators coral Comer after hot start
ARLINGTON, Texas -- With one small adjustment, Billy Donovan helped his Florida Gators do what two tournament teams before couldn't: corral Brett Comer.
After a blistering start, FGCU's cagey sophomore point guard grew frustrated with Florida's defensive tactics, which forced him into nine turnovers in Friday's 62-50 Sweet 16 loss.
Comer came out firing, with five assists in the first six minutes, helping give the Eagles a nine-point lead by that time. But Comer said the Gators used a sly maneuver to keep him out of traffic.
In guarding Comer, Florida's Scottie Wilbekin hedged hard toward the pick when an Eagle came to provide a ball screen, forcing Comer to reject it. When Comer turned away from the screen, Florida ran its big men at Comer, putting athletic frontliners like Patric Young in his path.
"(Wilbekin) sat on the side of the screen, and right when I took my dribble, Patric Young was right there," Comer said. "(Young) is very active on the defensive end and a great defender."
The result: Comer couldn't slither his way through the lane and find cutters for layups or lobs. After recording 24 assists to five turnovers in the Eagles' first two tournament games, Comer finished with seven assists to his nine giveaways Friday.
"I don't know if our front court gets enough credit," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "Because in order to guard Comer, you're going to have to do it with more than just Scottie. Patric Young was really, really good today."
Brown looking at pro ball: With his college career over, ending an ascent from walk-on to Atlantic Sun Conference player of the year, FGCU guard Sherwood Brown has his sights set on professional ball.
Brown said he believes his strong showing in the NCAA tournament -- 18.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 56 percent from the field -- has elevated his pro potential.
"I've been told that my options have improved with the recent success that our team has had," the 6-foot-4 wingman said. "But I really haven't made any decisions on what I plan to do in the future. I look for the guidance of coach (Andy) Enfield to help me make those decisions."
Brown said he'll lean on the connections Enfield, a former NBA assistant in the 1990s, made while working in the pros.
The crowd impact: The 40,000-plus fans in attendance at Cowboys Stadium clearly backed the Eagles more than the Gators, but the crowd never significantly factored into the action Friday.
FGCU senior forward Eddie Murray said the atmosphere was nothing like the one FGCU experienced last week in Philadelphia, where the closer quarters of the Wells Fargo Center created a raucous roar.
"I don't think anything will really compare to the crowd we had in Philly," Murray said. "Maybe the smaller size (in Philadelphia) helped, things were echoing. But there really wasn't a time tonight that Florida got flustered and weren't able to call out their plays. The crowd here was great, but in Philadelphia, between the crowd and the actual structure, it really gave us an advantage there."

Gary Barlow to return to The X Factor
- 17 April 2012
- From the section Entertainment & Arts
Take That star Gary Barlow will reprise his role as a judge on ITV's The X Factor, producers have announced.
He is the first star to be re-confirmed for the reality show, which returns later this year.
Analysts had suggested the show might be due for a shake-up after its ratings suffered in 2011.
"I'm thrilled to be back and really looking forward to working with The X Factor team again," said Barlow in a statement.
"The fact that a superstar could just walk out on that stage is very exciting."
"See you at auditions," he added in a Twitter message to his fans.
Show creator Simon Cowell said: "It's great to be able to confirm our first judge for this year's show. Gary has earned his place and I'm excited to be working with him again."
Cowell was absent from the X Factor panel for the first time last year, as he concentrated on launching a US version of the show.
During that time, ratings for the UK edition fell below those of BBC rival Strictly Come Dancing for the first time in a number of years.
The audience for the final, when girl group Little Mix won the competition, peaked at 15.5 million viewers.
In 2010, a peak of 19.4 million saw Matt Cardle's triumph. In 2009, 19.1 million viewers tuned in.
However, the series was still the third-highest rated since X Factor began in 2004, with an average weekly audience of 11 million.
The other judges on last year's panel were newcomers Kelly Rowland and Tulisa Contostavlos, alongside regular judge Louis Walsh.
The first round of auditions for this year's programme have already been held, but no contestants have been screened by the judges yet.
Those auditions will take place later in the spring, with the programme returning to screens in late summer.
A change in the rules this year means that singers with a management deal will be allowed to enter the competition for the first time.

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 2/12/13
JJ Watt is the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. The Houston Texans defensive end is 6-foot-5, 298 pounds, and a monster on the field. One of Watt's specialties is his ability to bat passes. He was credited with 16 passes defended last season, which is an absurd amount for a defensive lineman. But as big and awesome as Watt is on the gridiron, he looks like a dwarf standing next to former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming. The two Houston icons had lunch together Tuesday, according to Watt, who shared the above photo of them on Twitter. Sure, we all knew that Yao, who is 7-foot-6 is gigantic, but it's still pretty incredible to see someone make Watt look tiny. Very few people can do that.

+ - Army studying soldier intuition in combat zones->
bfwebster writes: "The New York Times has a lengthy article about the use of hunches or intuition by soldiers in dangerous situations (possible registration required). This phenomenon — a soldier sensing that something is wrong or out of place before determining just what the threat is — is real enough that the Army has spent two years studying it. The article cites other studies, military and non-military, that have demonstrated that "as the brain tallies cues, big and small, consciously and not, it may send out an alarm before a person fully understands why." Two interesting points that may actually be the same: troops that think of themselves as predators tend to do better than those that see themselves as prey; and elite troops (e.g., Navy Seals) tend to do better than regular troops."

Diane Pinakiewicz, president of the National Patient Safety Foundation, said, "We all understand from all the work that's been done in aviation and other fields that [fatigue] is a work force issue that plays a role in error and we have to do something about it. The question is what is the best thing to do. We have to figure out a way to optimize work force hours better than we have."
A third study in the journal found that Canadian physicians who fared poorly on the patient-physician communication segment of the national licensing exam were the subject of more complaints on issues such as communication or quality-of-care. The authors suggested that licensing exams could be modified to pinpoint these attributes more efficiently and earlier in the process.
Finally, another study found that about 75 percent of medical residents said they didn't understand the statistics they read in medical journals, statistics that are necessary to provide the best and most current care for patients.

Sony and a few others have already stopped making plasma displays in favor of LCD's for this and other reasons.
Plus from what I hear the Aquos displays beat most plasmas when it comes to contrast ratio.
Is this actually in the stores or is it online only? I haven't been to a costco lately but I've never liked their TV selection. I am actually thinking about grabbing an Aquos tomorrow instead of the westinghouse if it is available at costco, namely because costco offers a 90 day return period and a free 2 year extended warranty (making it upwards of 3 years worth of coverage.)
I don't want to order it online though, it takes them 20 days and 99 bux to ship the damn thing.
go with the westinghouse 42w2, i heard the picture quality is better then the aquos and the unit itself is cheaper if you shop online. the only problem i have with the westinghouse is the remote sucks big time but since i use my cable remote i dont see it as much of a problem.

To make multitasking easier, the G1 also offers a "window shade" that lets users pull down active applications without closing others down.
Google and T-Mobile say searching is faster with the G1 than with other mobile phones. Although many variables determine data speed, they say the G1's interface makes accessing browsing applications easier and quicker. Users can drag a search bar to the home screen for extra efficiency.
A full HTML Web browser enables users to see any Web page the way they would from a full-size computer. But, by tapping the screen, users can zoom in for larger pictures. Users can also activate a magnifier that enlarges regions of the page as they scroll across it with a finger.
If you want to share a Web page with a friend or e-mail it to yourself, as you browse, one click pulls up an e-mail screen that allows you to do so.
As one would expect from the company that gave the world Google Earth and Google Maps, the G1 is GPS enabled and gives users easy access to mapping applications.
To prolong battery life and protect the privacy of users, owners must manually turn on the GPS function. The default setting is off. Once users have activated the function, they can click on any address to launch mapping software that provides driving directions, street views and information about local businesses.
In what Google and T-Mobile say is an industry first, the phone's Google Maps feature syncs with a built-in compass to allow customers to use the Street View program to view locations and navigate 360 degrees by moving the phone with their hands.
Like the iPhone, the G1 allows owners to launch a YouTube application directly from the home screen to browse videos and share them with friends.
The G1 also includes a 3-megapixel camera and has a variety of photo-sharing capabilities.
The phone also comes pre-loaded with an Amazon.com application that allows customers to search for and download (for a price) Amazon MP3 tracks. But users can also easily connect the phone to a computer and drag music files into it as they would with an external hard drive.
A 1 GB memory card that can hold up to 500 songs comes with the phone, but the device can support up to an 8 GB memory card.

Previously: Columbia United Providers filed a lawsuit against the state Health Care Authority after the state said it would not continue its contract with CUP to provide Medicaid managed care services. Community Health Plan of Washington later joined the lawsuit.
What's new: U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin H. Settle in Tacoma heard CUP and state arguments during an injunction hearing Monday afternoon. CUP requested the injunction hearing to stop the state from implementing contracts with other insurance plans.
What's next: Settle is expected to make a ruling on CUP's request for an injunction by the end of next week.
Columbia United Providers officials and their attorney asked a federal judge Monday to halt the state's effort to contract with other health insurance plans to provide Medicaid services.
CUP filed a lawsuit against the state Health Care Authority earlier this year after the state announced that it would not continue its contract with CUP to provide Medicaid managed care services to Clark County residents. Community Health Plan of Washington, a Washington-based nonprofit insurance plan and competing Medicaid health plan offered in Clark County, joined CUP's lawsuit after the state reversed its decision to award the group contracts in Clark and three other counties.
Attorneys for the insurance plans and the state made their cases before U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin H. Settle on Monday afternoon in Tacoma. CUP and Community Health Plan are seeking an injunction to stop the state from executing its contracts with the selected insurance plans until the lawsuit is settled.
Settle said he would issue a ruling by the end of next week, said Dr. Lisa Morrison, medical director for CUP.
Settle read the briefs filed by both parties prior to Monday's 3:30 p.m. hearing, but he hadn't read all of the declarations of people interviewed by the attorneys, Morrison said.
"It seemed to go very well," she said after the hearing.
The CUP lawsuit argues the state signed contracts with health plans that do not have adequate provider networks. The lawsuit also claimed the state entered "into agreements with national health plans that offered dramatic but illusory savings through low bid rates."
The state Health Care Authority in January selected five health insurance plans to provide Medicaid services to more than 700,000 Washington residents, including more than 65,000 in Clark County. The selected insurance plans will manage care for the state's Healthy Options and Basic Health members, most of whom are low-income women and children.
CUP, a community-based health insurance plan owned by PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center and other Clark County health care providers, has provided those services in Clark County since 1994.

It's Fair time in Texarkana and with it brings an increase of traffic and safety concerns around the Four States Fairgrounds.
It's "Cows, Chow, and WOW" with the 69th Annual Four States Fair & Rodeo in Texarkana. Here's a link to the schedule of daily events.

Do you love art like I do? Then you won't want to miss A Texarkana Gallery Hop presented by TRAHC.
Do you love jazz? Does the crisp sound of a blaring brass section make you want to dance or is it the intimate tones from a sensual saxaphone that help you unwind? Whatever your connection is to jazz, Hot Springs' upcoming jazz fest will thrill your senses!
The 70th Annual Miller County Fair kicked off over the Labor Day weekend. The fair takes place in Fouke, Arkansas.
Miller County area schools are all involved in this yearly fair. Genoa, Fouke and Texarkana, Arkansas schools must participate in this county fair before going to district then the state fairs so this is really important for the kids and they would appreciate a great turnout from the community.
Check out the schedule of events for the rest of the fair.
I can't wait for this event every year! It's time once again for the Four State Friends of NRA Banquet at the Four States Fair Grounds on Thursday, August 15.
