Everything Everywhere finally reveals its LTE pricing, offers just 8GB maximum data allowance
UK network Everything Everywhere has finally revealed its pricing structure for its LTE data service which starts on October 30th. Everything Everywhere has a UK exclusive on LTE for the foreseeable future and to be fair that is reflected in the costs of the plans. EE will launch with three plans to choose from and each will include unlimited telephone calls and text messages, the only difference will be the amount of data allowed in each package.
EE has a total of five different data allowance packages starting from 500MB right up to 8GB. With prices starting at £36 per month right up to £56 per month for the 8GB allowance. They are all subject to a 24 month agreement. 500MB £36, 1GB £41, 3GB £46, 5GB £48, 8GB £56. Each plan includes the use of VoIP and tethering at no extra cost.
According to Pocket-lint, EE will also offer subsidized iPhone 5 pricing when it launches next week; so you could pick up a 16GB model on the cheapest tariff for £179.99. If you decide to go for the 64GB model that figure would rise to a whopping £379.99. There are of course many different offers in between depending on which handset and plan that you choose; all of the details have not been revealed as of yet. If you are in the UK, what do you think of the LTE pricing from Everything Everywhere? Personally I will be sticking with my "All You Can Eat" data from Three UK as it offers true unlimited data at much better prices than Everything Everywhere are offering; I can live without the high speeds for now.

· Expert Support: Fast track service for all customers, plus access to approximately 10,000 experts on the high street, on the phone and online
23rd October 2012. London. EE, the UK's most advanced digital communications company, today unveiled the pricing and plans for its new superfast Fibre Broadband and 4G services, designed for 21st century consumers and businesses alike.
The UK's first 4G mobile service will launch on Tuesday October 30th, offering consumers and businesses a new way to access the people, places and things they want on the move, with speeds typically five times faster than 3G.[1]
EE will also launch its new fixed-line fibre service for the home and offices, with speeds typically ten times faster than today's standard broadband plans.[2]
The delivery of increased speeds and connectivity has inspired the development of EE's first next-generation digital services, such as EE Film and EE's new device and digital content replacement services.
Olaf Swantee, CEO of EE, said: "We're proud to be leading the way and pioneering the roll out of 4G in the UK. With our new brand and unique 4G and fibre services, we will deliver consumers and businesses across the country next-generation services and a superior level of support.
"Our new plans have been developed to offer our customers everything they have been asking for – superfast performance, choice and value – as well as a fresh approach to pricing and customer service that offers accessibility, flexibility and guidance every step of the way."
The launch of the EE brand will be backed by a multi-million pound marketing campaign across TV, print and digital media channels.
Superfast speeds EE will be the first company in the UK to launch a mobile 4G service, along with its new fixed-line fibre broadband service. It will be called 4GEE and will offer speeds five times faster than 3G, and speeds typically ten times faster than currently available in homes and offices.
EE will be available to buy nationwide, with the 4GEE service going live initially across ten cities on 30th October[3]. The company has an aggressive 4G rollout plan in place with six further cities coming online in the run up to Christmas, with further cities and rural locations planned for 2013, and 98% of the population due to be covered by the end of 2014.
Once achieved, this will be the fastest rollout of any UK network in history.
EE's Fibre Broadband service, available to both consumers and businesses, will be available in 11 million premises nationally with plans starting at just £15 per month.
Smart new services The launch of superfast mobile and fixed speeds by EE will inspire the birth of revolutionary and exciting new services for business and consumers.
The first such service is EE Film, the only service in the UK which combines 2-for-1 cinema ticketing, listings, trailers and film downloads or streaming in one place. The Film Store presents the largest catalogue of new releases available in the UK, with more than five times the number of new releases than other similar providers, and more than 700 films available in total.
EE customers will be able to watch a film of their choice on their mobile, on their PC or even on their TV (via their laptop). Pause & Play also allows customers to view the film on one device, such as their smartphone, pause it, then pick it up on another device, such as their laptop.
4GEE customers will able to download or stream a film, each week, on EE, without impacting their data allowance. Further films can be downloaded or streamed with prices starting at 79p, and the cost can be charged to customers' mobile bill, or credit and debit cards.
Simple pricing for the digital consumer 4GEE phone plans will offer customers a wide selection of simple smartphone and mobile broadband plans, putting the customer in control by combining a range of data options with unlimited UK calls and texts. Data allowances start with the light data usage entry plan, offering 500MB (£36/pm) and extending up to 8GB (£56/pm) for the heavier data user.
Data controls will alert customers when they are approaching the data allowance limit, and then when their limit is reached. They can then choose to buy a data add-on, or wait until the next bill period starts.
All customers will be able to tether or use VoIP services as part of their plan – with no need to buy specific data add-ons. BT Wi-fi is also included in all plans at no extra cost, providing on-demand access to millions of wireless hotspots across the UK.
For just £5 more a month, customers will be able to take their unlimited voice and text allowance abroad with them, in Europe and selected countries in the rest of the world[4], as well as access to special data add-ons offering significant value on data use while abroad.
New Fibre Broadband and 4GEE plans for Business Small business customers will have a range of 4GEE phone plans, with data allowances of 1GB including unlimited UK calls and texts starting from £35/pm (excl. VAT). Companies can also reduce costs by choosing the new 4GEE Sharer Plan, which allows sharing of data allowances across all users and devices within their business, plus inclusive calls to colleagues and landlines.
EE also provides medium sized, public sector and corporate customers with a range of dedicated 4GEE plans from an additional £3 a month on top of their existing or new package, as well as added services including security and mobile application development. Data share plans are also available for these companies, with the added benefit of increased spend control through reduced out-of-bundle rates for data, and spending caps ranging from £50-£200.
Olaf Swantee commented: "UK Businesses have shown considerable interest since our 4G launch intentions were announced. We hope that our new 4G plans and services will make us the most exciting digital communications business partner to work with in the UK."
EE Consumer Fibre Broadband plans EE's Fibre Broadband will offer speeds typically up to ten times faster than the UK average. Ideal for households or small businesses with multiple devices, EE Fibre broadband offers maximum download speeds of 76Mbps – allowing customers to stream HDTV, play online games, watch films on demand or quickly upload or download large files. Plans start from £15 per month[5], with off-peak calls and a free BrightBox router included as standard.
4GEE customers save £5 per month when taking EE's Fibre Broadband product for the entire length of their phone plan – offering savings of up to £120[6]. Orange and T-Mobile customers can also benefit, allowing them to enjoy EE Fibre Broadband in the home or office at reduced rates.
Expert service EE customers can expect a superior level of service on the high street, on the phone and online, with a significant new service approach and services designed to give customers peace of mind.
10,000 EE experts have been trained to serve and sell to customers in a new way, designed around specific handset types. If an EE customer wants to speak to an expert at one our customer centres, they can fast-track the automated call system by first connecting, then dialling 33, to get connected directly to an expert.
EE also operates customer services on social networks Twitter and Facebook.
A number of new services, fit for the digital world, have also been developed to provide peace of mind for new EE customers.
Clone Phone: Clone Phone from EE securely backs up data such as contacts, calendar and content (customers' own photos and videos) via an App, which provides an easy way to restore your content if a phone is lost, stolen or broken. It means you don't just get your handset back, but you get your digital life back too.[7]
Repair & Loan Phone: Repair and Loan Phone provide a convenient way to arrange a repair in store[8] and stay in touch in the meantime. All customers will be provided with a replacement phone, and phones will be repaired and returned within 14 days. Small business customers benefit from next day replacement for any faulty phone.[9]
Transforming the high-street From the 30th October, all existing Everything Everywhere, Orange and T-Mobile stores will become newly branded EE stores.
4G Ready EE will be offering a simple process for Orange and T-Mobile customers who've already purchased a 4G ready handset, to swap to 4G, at no additional cost.[10]

Everything Everywhere finally reveals its LTE pricing, offers just 8GB maximum data allowance
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $82h… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online… www.fox87.com
Waiting for a sim only deal
I got my iPhone 5 on Orange 3 weeks ago, £36 giving me 1GB data and the 64GB handset was about £280. The shop staff were touting that I could switch to LTE but expected it to be expensive - this is very poor though.
I was on 3 but cancelled after 8 months - great service where you can get a signal but the coverage in North Norfolk is hopeless so no use for me :-)
There's no point in EE's LTE when on my current phone, 3's AYCE data is yielding 18mbps down.
4G/LTE is all about data usage, so why the terrible data plans/caps?! If someone is going to switch to EE, surely it's going to be for the fast data - the unlimited calls/texts are good, but not what the main users/early adopters want/need.
Had they done an unlimited data plan (SIM only), I would have moved over in a near instant - even for a jacked up price. Unfortunately, I'd hammer even the largest data plan, so am therefore staying with my really well priced, truly unlimited, data plan with Three UK.
on average i use around 15gb a month most ive used was 20gb in one month thats watching tv and videos on my phone on a regular basis i only pay £34 on one plan i cant see myself paying £56 for only 8gb no way, i know EE would do this as they the first to introduce 4G i rather wait to see what 3 has to offer, EE is a no go for me.

Google's interface is available in 116 languages, but some of them are extinct, artificial or invented languages. You can set any language as default by going to the preferences page, but if you don't know how to go back to the original language, select "Google.com in English" from the homepage to reset the language to English or delete your Google cookie.
Extinct languages
The latin interface is monumental and it makes Google more trustworthy and knowledgeable.
Artificial languages
Google in Esperanto is very laconic and it even offers the option to restrict your search to web pages written in Esperanto.
The Interlingua interface uses an auxiliary languages that was created as a common denominator for Romanic languages. "With Interlingua an objective procedure is used to extract and standardize the most widespread word or words for a concept found in a set of control languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, with German and Russian as secondary references," explains Wikipedia.
Fictional languages
For Star Trek's fans, there's a Klingon Google. Klingon is an artificial language that has its own sounds, rules and words. "A small number of people, mostly dedicated Star Trek fans or language aficionados, can converse in Klingon. Its vocabulary, heavily centered on Star Trek or 'Klingon' concepts such as spacecraft or warfare, can sometimes make it cumbersome for everyday use — for instance, while there are words for transporter ionizer unit (jolvoy') or bridge (of a ship) (meH), there is currently no word for bridge (that you drive over). Nonetheless, mundane conversations are common among skilled speakers." Marc Okrand, who invented the language, explains more about its meaning in an interesting video.
Bork, Bork, Bork! is the language of Swedish Chef, a character from the Muppet Show. "Nearly all Swedish Chef sketches begin with him in a kitchen, waving some utensils while singing his signature song in a trademark mock Swedish — a semi-comprehensible gibberish which parodies the characteristic vowel sounds of Swedish. The song's lyrics vary slightly from one episode to the next, but always end with börk! börk! börk! as the Chef throws the utensils aside." You can find Swedish Chef sketches at YouTube and install a cool Firefox extension that translates the content of web pages to Bork.
Elmer Fudd is a cartoon character. "He has one of the more convoluted and disputed origins in the Warner Brothers cartoon pantheon (second only to Bugs Bunny himself). His aim is to shoot Bugs, but he usually ends up seriously injuring himself. His stock line is: Shhhhhhhh, be vewwwy, vewwwy quiet; I'm hunting wabbits, heheheheheheh, although it varies in certain cartoons." This Bugs Bunny episode shows Elmer Fudd trying to capture the "scwewy wabbit".
Language games
The Pig Latin language has its roots in Britain and was initially used by criminals as a simple way to encrypt their messages. The rules are simple: if the word starts with a consonant, it's placed at the end and is followed by ay; if the word starts with a vowel, way is appended to the word. For example, Web becomes Ebway.
Internet languages
Google's hacker interface was an obvious choice for a company with a culture that encourages hacking. According to Wikipedia, leet "is a written argot used primarily on the Internet, which uses various combinations of ASCII characters to replace Latinate letters. The term is derived from the word elite, and the usage it describes is a specialized form of symbolic writing." There's no unique way to translate words into leet, but some of the most popular rules are to replace letters with digits or other symbols that look similar (for example, g -> 6, o -> 0, l -> 7, e -> 3). A simple way to access Google's leet interface is to go to 600673.com.
Unfortunately, most of Google's recent services aren't available in any of these languages, so you'll only be able to see Google Search, Image Search and Google Directory. The Google in your language program, which allows anyone to translate the messages from Google's services, includes these languages, but the translations aren't live for Gmail, Google Video etc.

The weather forecast suggests rainfall for today's running of the 139th Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Ky.
However, an off track shouldn't be too much of a detriment to Dogwood Stable's Palace Malice, said W. Cothran Campbell, Dogwood Stable president, in a phone interview Friday morning.
Palace Malice placed second in his 2013 debut, a 7-furlong allowance race at Gulfstream Park, over a racetrack listed as sloppy, finishing second to the sprinter Majestic Hussar, over what is considered to be a speed favoring racetrack. The bay colt's sire, two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, scored a pair of his biggest victories over an off track, with wins in the Jockey Club Gold Cup and Breeders' Cup Classic.
"He's run in the slop before," said Campbell. "He was bred to like running on an off track, and his previous performances indicate that he does. He trained at 5:45 this (Friday) morning, and they closed the track at 8 a.m."
The possibility of inclement weather, a favorable post position, and the colt's fitness and temperament, are factoring into what might be a contest with an interesting result for the Aiken-connected horse. Palace Malice drew post position no. 10 for Saturday's race.
"Mike (Smith, Palace Malice's jockey) likes the post position," said Campbell.
"He's (Palace Malice) been training well, and jogged this morning. We're tickled to death with the post position. There's a little bit of speed around us, and hopefully that will set it up for us, so we'll be able to move into a stalking position."
Palace Malice made two starts during his juvenile campaign, a second in his racing debut, and a 3½-length win at Saratoga at next asking. His sophomore campaign includes his second place finish at Gulfstream, a third place effort in the Risen Star Stakes, and than what Campbell described as a ghastly trip in the Lousiana Derby, where the horse finished seventh, beaten by 7½ lengths, and a runner-up finish in the Blue Grass Stakes on April 13, the race that punched his ticket to Louisville.

The weather could not have been more perfect as the Antlers Bearcats traveled to take on the Panama Razorbacks on their home turf. The Bearcats hoped to boost their 0-2 district standings by beating Panama, with a record of 3-2 overall and 1-1 in district. The boys started off strong, scoring a TD with a run in by #34 Lucas Austin and a 2-point conversion by #5 Zach Speer with 11:05 left in the first quarter. Panama quickly returned the favor, but their 2 point conversion was no good, leaving a score of 8-6 in favor of the Bearcats at the end of the first quarter.
At 9:01 in the second quarter, Zach Speer held on to the ball and managed to break away from the pack, streaking 60 yards to make the second Bearcat touchdown. He then tossed a pass to #12 Tanner Brown adding another 2 points, making the score 16-6, Bearcats. But, a couple of minutes later, Panama came back scoring 6. Bearcats lost on downs and a Razorback made an amazing 95 yard return of the kickoff leaving the score 19-16, Panama. With 51 seconds left in the half, the most controversial play of the night occurred. It was fourth down and #12 Brown was in the end zone to receive a pass by #5 Speer when he was slammed into by two Razorbacks. The refs called the penalty against the Bearcats and the stadium was in an uproar. Even Panama fans felt the call was unfair.
The Razorbacks scored twice more in the third quarter and once more in the fourth. The Bearcats were able to get into the end zone one more time with a pass from #12 Brown to #2 Drew McKnight, but Panama stopped #34 Austin's 2 point try. Final score was 40-22, Panama.
Leading rushers were #5 Zach Speer with 7 carries and 105 yards and Tanner Brown #12 with 5 carries for 24 yards. Speer threw 14 out of 20 for 250 yards and Brown threw 2 out of three for 32 yards. Tanner Brown received 9 passes for 183 yards and Drew McKnight caught 5 for 80 yards. Leading tackles were #12 Brown and #5 Speer with 13 and 11 tackles, respectively. The next game is this Thursday, October 17, at home vs. Wilburton. Come out and support your team!View more articles in:

Paypal Works well, but the fees are ridiculous. Transfer 236 Euro to someone and it asks me to pay fee of more than 12 Euro. No reason to be that greedy.
Money Bookers Are cheap enough but hard to use. I need to transfer my address to a different country and setup a new bank account number with them. They make me jump through all kinds of hoops to do this.
- My new address needs to be verified. Time and Effort wasted. I don't know why my physical location even matters to them.
- My back account number has already been used in another MoneyBookers account. I had it closed, but it still denies me the ability to add it to my new account.
I can't use a piss poor service like this. By the time I will have emailed them about the problems I may as well have used paypal. I've already wasted 30mins trying to set this up.
Other services like amazon transfers insist that I must live in the US to use their service.
Short of mailing the money 18,000km what are my options?

MA in TESOL with an Emphasis in ESP
The ESP Emphasis is currently on hold, and ESP courses are not being offered.
The Master's Degree (MA) in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) with an Emphasis in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) provides a broad background in ESP theory and praxis. It is designed to prepare the future ESP Practitioner to design courses for and teach all categories of ESP in both domestic and international settings.
Program Description
The MATESOL with an Emphasis in ESP provides a thorough preparation in all aspects of teaching English as a second or foreign language. Ten classes, three of which concern ESP, are required for the degree.
The seven required non-ESP courses are:
- English Structures for Teaching I (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary )
- English Structures for Teaching II (semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis)
- Second Language Acquisition
- Intercultural Communication
- Methods and Materials for TESOL
- Testing, Research, and Evaluation
- Practicum in TESOL
The three required ESP courses (which must be taken in this order) are:
- Foundations of ESP Foundations of ESP includes the history and development of ESP, linguistic analysis in ESP, and needs analysis. It requires students to find a company or other ESP setting in the region that has nonnative-English-speaking employees and to conduct a thorough ESP needs analysis from all perspectives (e.g., owner, supervisor, employee, field, product).
- ESP Course Design ESP Course Design includes ESP curriculum and materials development, ESP textbook evaluation, ESP testing and evaluation, and ESP administration. It requires students to design a course based on the needs analysis produced in the first course.
- Special Topics in ESP Having studied the theoretical foundations of ESP in general, and having applied this knowledge to the construction of a new course for a local setting, students are ready for an in-depth analysis and application to a specified area of ESP. Students will observe and work with ESP professionals in the preparation, design, delivery and assessment of English language training for a specific purpose. This course integrates theory, methods and materials, and practice and serves as an appropriate culminating experience in the ESP emphasis.
Entrance Requirements
- "B" average for last 60 semester or 90 quarter units
- TOEFL score of 570 or above for nonnative speakers
- Proficiency in English and one other foreign language
Prerequisite Courses (or demonstrable equivalent)
- Introduction to Linguistics (Linguistics 101)
- Patterns of English (Linguistics 107)
Note: No more than two classes (six units) may be transferred from other institutions.
- MA Degree with an Emphasis in ESP
- For the MA degree with an Emphasis in ESP, participants must:
- complete all required courses with a grade of "B" or better
- satisfy the Graduate Writing Examination
- pass a departmental comprehensive final examination
- For the MA degree with an Emphasis in ESP, participants must:
- Certificate in ESP
- For students who have already completed an MATESOL, a Certificate in ESP is awarded upon completion of the three courses in the ESP Emphasis.

Gartner has been providing Magic Quadrant analysis for many years in different industry verticals, and although the analysis isn't necessarily the gold standard, it does help those making buying decisions understand each industry a little more clearly.
Since 2009, GoGrid has been in a Gartner Magic Quadrant, and this year we're happy to announce our inclusion in the 2012 Cloud IaaS Magic Quadrant. Instead of analyzing the comments and positioning of the cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) providers, I wanted to take a different approach by focusing on how the Magic Quadrant has evolved over the years in relation to cloud computing, hosting, and IaaS in general.
What's all the "hype" about?
Many of you may be familiar with another Gartner graphic and report called the "Hype Cycle." The Hype Cycle graphically represents the evolution of a new technology from its introduction through its maturity. The Cycle is broken into five distinct "slopes," and looks like this:
- The Technology Trigger phase is where a breakthrough or new technology first begins to garner interest.
- The Peak of Inflated Expectations is the phase where a technology is seen as the solution to all ills. At this point, the technology is pushed to the limit, with some successes and plenty of failures. There's a lot of media, marketing, and PR hype during this phase, as its name implies.
- Once reality sets in, the technology enters the Trough of Disillusionment. In this phase, there isn't as much media interest and there's possibly more criticism than praise.
- As the technology begins to mature and users continue to experiment and innovate, we reach a level of clairvoyance where potential risks and benefits are clearer and there are more solutions that use the technology. This phase is the Slope of Enlightenment.
- When real-world applications appear and are accepted and the value proposition gains traction, the technology hits the Plateau of Productivity, where more widespread adoption occurs. Once the technology reaches this level, it has become established and viable.
Like many transforming technologies before it, cloud computing is working its way through this Hype Cycle roller coaster. Five years ago, the cloud was chugging up the hill to get ready for the ride, and more recently, it's sped down the descent as the technology gained momentum. Where does it stand currently? There are many opinions, of course, but I believe we're enjoying the ride to the Plateau of Productivity. (more…) «Riding the Gartner Hype Cycle Roller Coaster: Hang on to your Magic Quadrants!»

Gay Joke of the Day:John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how handsome John's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of Johns' sexual orientation and this only made her more curious.Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the roommate than met the eye.Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Mark and I are just roommates."About a week later, Mark came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read: "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Mark, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Mark. But the fact remains that if he was sleeping in his own bed, he would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"

We love the steak served by the Four Seasons Hotel, so much so that we are trying to recreate it at home now.
It is called Tuscan salad with Wagyu beef steak on top. With only $48 for a main course plus buffet starter and dessert (lunch menu), isn't it value for money? CY loves their food and service! We have been there a few times and we were greeted with waiters and chefs eager to share their inspirations. It was really a personalised service that we did not receive elsewhere. I kind of like their service more than their food though, not because their food is not good, but it's really huge serving that depressed me! I am a big eater myself but was depressed because I could not finish the main course with buffet starter and dessert! Each time, I was stuffed till could not walk properly, eventually skipped 2 meals after that. I can't blame them for giving me big portion and for my inability to reject food put in front of me.
I am curious as to why greens salad is also called Tuscan salad? Is it because it is originated from Tuscan, Italy? Still clueless after google-ing. Supposedly, this is how it looks like, without the potatoes (as our staple food).
For the Tuscan salad dressing: 3 parts oil and 1 part vinegar, mix together, season with salt and black pepper. Optional: with some honey mustard sauce. Yum!
For the potatoes: just pop into the microwave, for 7 minutes, high heat, until it is cooked. Cut into half, stuff in butter and mayonnaise, season with some black pepper.
For the steak seasoning, use a food processor to process them together. Ingredients: 5 cloves of garlic, 5 Tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper and some herbs (thyme or rosemary). Use this to rub all over the steak just before grilling.
For grilling steak, with a grill on very high heat (heated for abt 3 min or so on a stove), after rubbing the steak with the steak seasoning, sear the meat with high heat, you should hear sizzling sounds from the grill when the steak is put on. Grill each side about 2-3 mins, until medium rare. Take out, rest the steak.
Final presentation, just cut them into strips, lay them onto the dressed salad. Use a fruit peeler, shave parmesan to lay on top. Serve with potatoes.

Comments about KEEN Footwear Bern Baby Bern Boot (Women's):
I purchased these exact same boots in brown three years ago and love them. They are so comfy, and I get a lot of compliments. I am wrapping up the last few weeks of my pregnancy, and my more fitted black boots aren't quite fitting. I fell in love with the new Gargoyle color, and purchased them to go with several of my outfits, knowing the fit was a bit more lenient. :)

Comments about KEEN Footwear Bern Baby Bern Boot (Women's):
These boots in Oak go perfectly with fall scarves and sweaters. It's difficult to find a boot that fits both functionally and fashionably. The boots work well with both dresses and jeans, and make any outfit look instantly more like autumn. I don't worry about these boots getting scuffed or damaged: The material is super durable, and they are built very well. The ONLY thing that I would change about the boots is the tread on the bottom: They could use a little more traction.

FeedBurner Moves to Google Accounts
After Google bought FeedBurner in June 2007, we didn't hear too many new things about FeedBurner. A post from February detailed the benefits of the future Google integration: connecting with other Google services, better performance and new features. "Why not build new services and integrate at the same time? (...) Our perspective is that the time you lose trying to continuously merge an updated legacy codebase with a new rewrite causes you [to] be in a world of never actually getting the integration done because you're constantly working on merge problems."
It seems that the Googlizied FeedBurner will be brought to life soon. FeedBurner Blog announces that "in the coming weeks, upon visiting www.feedburner.com, selected publishers will have the opportunity to sign in using their Google Account". That means you will be offered the option to choose a Google account as a new home for FeedBurner. The posts mentions that the integration with other services will be added gradually and it's easy to anticipate the relaunch of AdSense for feeds or a new tab in AdWords.
The most visible side-effect of the Google ownership is that the premium accounts and MyBrand are free, so you might save at least $96/year. In the past 11 months, FeedBurner doubled the number of users and now has "882,989 publishers who've burned 1,570,012 feeds".

Johny Hendricks is Finally the Concensus No. 1 Contender, Gets Next Shot at Georges St-Pierre | MMAWeekly.com
Im happy the fight is done and I can be moving on with another chapter of my career. UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre following UFC 158.
You know that old saying, be careful what you wish for?
For St-Pierre, language barrier or not, he may need to get accustomed with that old adage pretty quick. Because after St-Pierres unanimous decision victory over Nick Diaz at UFC 158 on Saturday night, he may have put away one trash-talking monster in dominating fashion, but he now faces a garbage man of a different sort; the no-frills, power-punching, two-time National Champion out of Oklahoma State, Johny Big Rig Hendricks.
UFC president Dana White, although non-committal on a firm date, made it very clear whom his number one contender for GSP is.
(Hendricks) is your number one contender. No doubt. Done.
He reiterated the point on the Fuel TV UFC 158 post-fight show, Diaz wont get a rematch. Theres no doubt Johny Hendricks deserves the next shot. That fight was amazing tonight. Im actually glad that it worked out that way. Those were the top guys to see who faces Georges St-Pierre. Johny Hendricks deserves it.
At UFC 158, St-Pierre faced a rather predictable Nick Diaz that all changes when he squares off with Hendricks. The surging slugger, whose wrestling credentials are just as, if not more, impressive than his knockout resume and thats saying a whole lot.
Riding a six-fight winning streak, Big Rig is currently on one of the most impressive runs in UFC history. During his current wave of success, Hendricks has managed wins over perennial top-ten fighters Josh Koscheck, Jon Fitch, Mike Pierce, Martin Kampmann, and on Saturday night, the aforementioned Carlos Condit.
Paired with Condit, Hendricks (15-1) earned the UFC 158 Fight of the Night honors in a legendary scrap that displayed the 29-year-old as a serious contender with a varied and adaptable approach, something he may not have gotten to show in past bouts. As he pressured Condit with lunging haymakers throughout the 15-minute tussle, he earned an impressive 11 of 13 takedowns, proving to the crowd in attendance that if he needed to, he could call on his all-star wrestling pedigree at the drop of a hat.
At the post-fight press conference, the Team Takedown stalwart found himself within arms reach (literally and figuratively) of St-Pierre and the welterweight title.
Im just excited. I finally got to the top and now I actually get to fight him, said the grinning Hendricks. Thats what its all about; getting to the top and fighting the best. So Im going to go home, study some more and be prepared the best that I can.
Sitting side-by-side with St-Pierre, Hendricks once again reiterated that there would be very little time between the fight on Saturday and getting back to work next week.
I cant wait to get back home so I can start training again. Thats pretty much all I can think about; take Monday off, then go train on Tuesday.
When asked if he saw anything in the St-Pierre vs. Diaz main event that could help him in his fight with the champ, Hendricks only asked for the same chance Diaz had.
Like Dana said, he stood up with him; he did a little bit of everything. Hopefully he gives me that chance too, he said. Thats what its all about, going out there and putting on a show for the fans and the people watching on TV. I cant wait to go out there and prove to everyone that I belong.

On Thursday the Scioto County Commissioners signed a letter of support for Wabuck Development Company's application to the Ohio Housing Finance Agency.
According to Mike Crabtree, Chairman of the Scioto County Commissioners, Wabuck Development is proposing to build a housing development for low income families in Rush Township.
"They want to build some low income housing in Porter as well as Rush Township. They have not been able to reach some kind of agreement with the Porter Township Trustees, so they are not going to peruse that at this time. They do not have enough time between now and the deadline for filing with the Ohio Housing Finance Agency," Crabtree said. "They were able to come up with an agreement with the trustees in Rush Township. We signed the letter supporting their application to construct the houses in Rush Township."
He said the location they are looking to build the housing development is near the Rush and Washington Township border. Crabtree said it's in the area where the former sunset drive-in used to be.
Crabtree said the project is being called Carson Hills and calls for the construction of about 42 units or houses.
According to wabuckdevelopment.com, the company's mission is, "the development of quality, safe, decent, affordable housing and social models which will enhance the standard of living for those in need."
To date the organization has developed 3,500 housing units in the states of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee. For more information about Wabuck Development visit, wabuckdevelopment.com.

Among the texts Colleton County coach Chris Collins received after his program's monumental victory against Wando in Week 3 was one from Stratford coach Ray Stackley.
"I told him that's what hard work and perseverance does," Stackley said. "I said eventually you're going to turn it around."
That 40-37 win on Sept. 13 was Colleton County's first since 2009, snapping a 36-game losing streak. The Cougars were narrowly defeated last week by unbeaten West Ashley, 35-28.
Two games earlier, they lost by two to Woodland.
"He's doing a great job over there," Stackley said of Collins. "We've known him for a long time, when he coached at Berkeley and Wando."
Collins is in his second year at Colleton County.
Stratford has won five straight in the series and won last season, 62-0. The Knights have outscored Colleton County 140-0 over the last three meetings.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. in Walterboro on Friday.
Stackley's team is coming off a 42-27 win over Ashley Ridge. Georgia commitment Jacob Park topped the 300-yard mark and tossed four touchdown passes, including a pair of long ones to Thad Thompson.
Thompson's touchdown catches came from 88 and 80 yards.
"He's paid his dues by working hard in the offseason," Stratford offensive coordinator Dennie McDaniel said of Thompson. "For it to come to fruition his senior year is exactly what we count on.
"That's what our tradition is built on. That's Stratford football."
After Colleton County, the Knights host Lowcountry rival Summerville.

Patient Safety:
Radiation Dose in X-Ray and CT Exams
What are x-rays and what do they do?
X-rays are forms of radiant energy, like light or radio waves. Unlike light, x-rays can penetrate the body, which allows a radiologist to produce pictures of internal structures. The radiologist can view these on photographic film or on a TV or computer monitor.
X-ray examinations provide valuable information about your health and play an important role in helping your doctor make an accurate diagnosis. In some cases x-rays are used to assist with the placement of tubes or other devices in the body or with other therapeutic procedures.
Measuring radiation dosage
The scientific unit of measurement for radiation dose, commonly referred to as effective dose, is the millisievert (mSv). Other radiation dose measurement units include rad, rem, roentgen, sievert, and gray.
Because different tissues and organs have varying sensitivity to radiation exposure, the actual radiation risk to different parts of the body from an x-ray procedure varies. The term effective dose is used when referring to the radiation risk averaged over the entire body.
The effective dose accounts for the relative sensitivities of the different tissues exposed. More importantly, it allows for quantification of risk and comparison to more familiar sources of exposure that range from natural background radiation to radiographic medical procedures.
Naturally-occurring "background" radiation exposure
We are exposed to radiation from natural sources all the time. According to recent estimates, the average person in the U.S. receives an effective dose of about 3 mSv per year from naturally occurring radioactive materials and cosmic radiation from outer space. These natural "background" doses vary throughout the country.
People living in the plateaus of Colorado or New Mexico receive about 1.5 mSv more per year than those living near sea level. The added dose from cosmic rays during a coast-to-coast round trip flight in a commercial airplane is about 0.03 mSv. Altitude plays a big role, but the largest source of background radiation comes from radon gas in our homes (about 2 mSv per year). Like other sources of background radiation, exposure to radon varies widely from one part of the country to another.
To explain it in simple terms, we can compare the radiation exposure from one chest x-ray as equivalent to the amount of radiation exposure one experiences from our natural surroundings in 10 days.
Following are comparisons of effective radiation dose with background radiation exposure for several radiological procedures described within this website:

Note for pediatric patients: Pediatric patients vary in size. Doses given to pediatric patients will vary significantly from those given to adults.
* The effective doses are typical values for an average-sized adult. The actual dose can vary substantially, depending on a person's size as well as on differences in imaging practices.
** Legend:
Please note that the above chart attempts to simplify a highly complex topic for patients' informational use. The effective dose listed above may be used to estimate cancer and cancer related deaths.
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Report 103 states: "The use of effective dose for assessing the exposure of patients has severe limitations that must be considered when quantifying medical exposure", and "The assessment and interpretation of effective dose from medical exposure of patients is very problematic when organs and tissues receive only partial exposure or a very heterogeneous exposure which is the case especially with x-ray diagnostics."
If you are interested in researching the use of effective dose further, following are a few resources:
X-ray safety
As with other medical procedures, x-rays are safe when used with care. Radiologists and x-ray technologists have been trained to use the minimum amount of radiation necessary to obtain the needed results. Properly conducted imaging carries minimal risks and should be performed when clinically indicated. The amount of radiation used in most examinations is very small and the benefits greatly outweigh the risk of harm.
X-rays are produced only when a switch is momentarily turned on. As with visible light, no radiation remains after the switch is turned off.
X-rays over your lifetime
The decision to have an x-ray exam is a medical one, based on the likelihood of benefit from the exam and the potential risk from radiation. For low dose examinations, usually those that involve only films taken by a technologist, this is generally an easy decision. For higher dose exams such as computed tomography (CT) scans and those involving the use of contrast materials (dyes) such as barium or iodine, the radiologist may want to consider your past history of exposure to x-rays. If you have had frequent x-ray exams and change healthcare providers, it is a good idea to keep a record of your x-ray history for yourself. This can help your doctor make an informed decision. It is also very important to tell your doctor if you are pregnant before having an exam that involves the abdomen or pelvic region.
Recently there have been a number of studies* linking current or future cancers to previous x-ray imaging studies, especially CT scans. These studies have important limitations in that they lack key data, including: direct radiation exposure measurements for each patient; why the patient underwent the study; and what beneficial information was derived from the CT scan. In addition, underlying statistical models can be fraught with tremendous levels of uncertainty. Nevertheless, these studies are valuable as they highlight the importance of optimizing CT scan techniques and have led to advancements that are resulting in much lower radiation exposures for similar CT studies.

Pregnancy and x-rays
As with any aspect of medical care, knowing that a patient is or could be pregnant is important information. Pregnancy, for example, might explain certain symptoms or medical findings. When a pregnant patient is ill or injured, the physician will carefully select medications to avoid potential risks to the developing child. This is also true of x-rays.
While the vast majority of medical x-rays do not pose a critical risk to a developing child, there may be a small likelihood of causing a serious illness or other complication. The actual risk depends on how far along the pregnancy is and on the type of x-ray. Ultrasound studies, for example, don't use x-rays and have never demonstrated any potential risk to pregnancy. X-ray studies of the head, arms, legs and chest do not usually expose the baby directly to x-rays and typically the technologist who takes the x-rays will implement special precautions to ensure that the baby of a pregnant patient is not directly exposed.
Sometimes patients need examinations of the abdomen or pelvis while they are pregnant. When studies of the abdomen or pelvis are required, the physician may prefer to order a different type of exam for a pregnant patient or reduce the number of x-rays from that which is normally acquired. Therefore, it is important that you inform your physician or the x-ray technologist about your reproductive status before the x-ray study is performed.
Most standard x-ray examinations of the abdomen are not likely to pose a serious risk to the child. Some abdominal and pelvic studies such as CT deliver greater amounts of radiation to a developing pregnancy. Informing the radiologist that you are or might be pregnant is important so that your medical care can be planned with both you and your baby in mind. Remember, this is done to optimize medical care by reducing any potential risk. See the CT During Pregnancy page (www.radiologyInfo.org/en/safety/index.cfm?pg=sfty-ct-pregnancy) for additional information.
Radionuclide exams, also known as nuclear medicine, use an x-ray-like radiation. The method of use, however, is quite different from x-rays and produces very different looking images. The same advice for informing your physician or the nuclear medicine technologist about any possible pregnancy before the examination begins is important.
See the General Nuclear Medicine page (http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=gennuclear) for additional information.
However, in nuclear medicine another precaution is advised for women who are breast-feeding a child. Some of the pharmaceuticals that are used for the study can pass into the mother's milk and subsequently the child will consume them. To avoid this possibility, it is important that a nursing mother inform her physician and the nuclear medicine technologist about this before the examination begins.
See the Contrast Materials page (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/safety/index.cfm?pg=sfty_contrast) for more information about pregnancy and contrast materials.
Radiation dose from interventional radiology procedures
Interventional radiologic procedures use diagnostic-type imaging equipment to assist a physician in the treatment of a patient's condition. These procedures frequently provide favorable medical results with minimal recovery time. In some cases these procedures avoid the need for conventional surgery or improve the prospects for a favorable outcome from surgery. As with any medical procedure, there are associated risks and the nature of these risks depend on the procedure.
With interventional radiology procedures using x-rays, the level of risk depends on the type of procedure because some use very little radiation, while complex procedures use much more. In general, the risk of developing a cancer from the exposure is not a major concern when compared to the benefits of the procedure. Many of the complex procedures, such as ones used to open a partially blocked blood vessel, repair a weak area of a bulging vessel, or to redirect blood flow through malformed vessels, use extensive radiation. But such complex procedures are also frequently lifesaving in their benefit and the risks associated with the radiation are of secondary consideration. In very rare cases, some patients develop skin damage as a result of the procedure. As with any surgical procedure, these rare events are important possibilities to consider when procedures are difficult and extensive. Since the risk for such complications depends on the individual circumstances, the physician should discuss these possibilities with the patient as is appropriate.
Ultrasound imaging is sometimes used for interventional radiology procedures. Ultrasound uses acoustic radiation and, at current intensities, no risk is known to exist for this type of imaging procedure. Magnetic resonance imaging is used for other interventional radiology procedures. For these procedures, a careful screening is performed prior to admission to the scanner room. This screening is to make sure that you have not had previous medical or cosmetic procedures that might make the procedure hazardous. See the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Safety page (www.RadiologyInfo.org/en/safety/index.cfm?pg=sfty_mr) for more information.
Safety in nuclear medicine procedures
Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and determine the severity of or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease and certain other abnormalities within the body.
Depending on the type of nuclear medicine exam, the radioactive material, or radiotracer, may be injected into a vein, swallowed or inhaled as a gas. The radiotracer will accumulate in the organ or area of the body being examined, where it gives off energy in the form of gamma rays, allowing the radiologist or nuclear medicine physician to view structural and functional information about organs or tissues within the body.
During nuclear medicine exams, patients are exposed to some radiation from the radiotracer and may be exposed to additional radiation, depending on the imaging method used during the procedure. Though the exact amount of radiation exposure can vary, based on the patient's physical dimensions and the part of the body being examined, radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians will use the lowest dose possible in order to obtain the highest quality images.
Nuclear imaging exams can be performed safely on children and pregnant women as long as the benefits outweigh the small associated radiation risk. When performing such exams, careful evaluation should be done to ensure proper/optimal dosage is given. Women should always inform their physician or technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant or if they are breastfeeding.

My doc said that on mt u/s there was fluid on my kidney, at that point they werent worried until they were able to determine how much fluid was on the kidney. Today the nurse called and said they want to see me first thing tomorrow to discuss the kidney situation. My Bp has been running 138/75 for 2 days and my norm is 90/60 pre preg.
Can a kidney problem indicate PE since it can damage the kidney? Or am i dealing with something else.
