Very nice, comfortable, second time I've ordered this shirt.
By Honolulu queenV
from Honolulu, Hawaii
About Me 65 Lg Breasted Wide Sh
Really like how this shirt fits, looks bright and goes well with all pants/skirts. Packs well, does take awhile to dry when washing by hand and it does shrink a bit after washing & drying in a machine. This is the second time I've ordered it, because it's so nice, good quality, good layering item....would highly recommend the white colored one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I selected this for my daughter to get me for Christmas - it is not as interesting as the one in the photo with very few of the interesting designs on it. I have to pay to return it and it was [$] plus $10 shipping in the first place - overpriced for an average looking cotton T shirt which is really what mine looks like.

Shopping for High Chairs
When you shop for a high chair there are certain features you should keep in mind:
- If you're looking for high chairs with wheels so that you can easily move it from one room to another then look for high chairs where you can lock the wheels firmly in place before you place your child in the high chair.
- If you're planning to use the high chairs for a long period of time, then one of the features that could prove to be useful is the height adjustment feature.
- Choose high chairs which can be cleaned easily. If you're planning to buy high chair accessories like cushions then ensure that the cushions are soft and can be cleaned easily.
- Check if the trays can be cleaned easily as well. Ensure the trays have high sides to prevent food from spilling out.
- Choose high chairs which are stable. Ensure the base is wide.
- Check if the high chair has belts to strap the baby in securely.
- Ensure the high chairs meet safety standards.

|Fire Damages Vilas Area Residence

|Tuesday, 22 October 2013 05:19
Cove Creek and Boone Fire Departments were called to a structure fire last night at a residence occupied by a disabled person. The fire call came in just after 9pm at 134 Hidden Trail where the caller reported that one person was still inside after a chimney fire appeared to have
escaped the flue, possibly setting the structure on fire. In spite of being warned to not return, the caller reportedly went back inside to try to get the person out as fire units were dispatched. First arriving Cove Creek units found smoke visible from outside the structure, but they managed to remove the occupants safely while determining where the fire was burning. Cove Creek command called in the fire under control within about 15 minutes of their arrival.

Comments about Serenity Tights (Women's):
I ordered two of the exact same style of this pant, same size, everything. One fit great, the other would stretch out right away and fall down. The pair that fit good felt heavier. Unfortunately, I had washed them so I couldn't return them. I'm wondering if one was last years and one was this years. Either way, I'm a little bummed since I these pants are really comfortable!

JAY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Investigators are trying to figure out what sparked a fire that destroyed an apartment building in Jay Saturday afternoon.
Jay Assistant Fire Chief Mike Booker said crews were first called to the three-story apartment building on 39 Church Street around 12:30 p.m.
Eight people were home at the time the fire started, but Booker said they all made it out safely and no one was injured.
The fire caused extensive damage, and the building is considered a total loss.
Jay was assisted by Livermore, Livermore Falls, Wilton, East Dixfield, and Farmington fire departments on scene, and it took just under two hours to get the fire under control.
There's no word yet on the cause. The State Fire Marshal's office has been called in to investigate.
Asst. Chief Booker said the Red Cross has also been called in to assist people who were left homeless by the fire.

Clinton Power Station's nine summer interns undertook challenging assignments to help make the plant better this summer, but they also wanted to leave their mark in the community.
CLINTON, Ill. (Aug. 4, 2009) - Clinton Power Station's nine summer interns undertook challenging assignments to help make the plant better this summer, but they also wanted to leave their mark in the community. Through their efforts, the Clinton interns are donating 30 grocery bags of canned food to the Clinton DOVE office and making a donation for needed repairs to the gym ceiling at the Clinton YMCA.
"Our shelves were nearly bare, and we are absolutely thrilled that the interns at Clinton Power Station undertook this project to help put food on the table for people who are struggling in the current economy," said Sharon Harlow, director of DOVE. "The station has been a strong supporter of our needs and we appreciate their generosity."
The Clinton interns' "penny war" resulted in $2,544 going to the YMCA. The penny war was constructed to be a friendly intra-departmental competition. The object was to get as many points as possible during the "war" in which only pennies count as positive points. All other change counted as negative points, so a team had to strategize to collect the most pennies in their jar and "war" against the other teams by adding silver coins and bills to their jars.
"I really want to thank the Clinton Power Station interns and the employees who went to 'war' for us to help make desperately needed improvements for the ceiling in our gym," said Jann Martin, YMCA executive director. "Many area residents use the YMCA and we appreciate the interns undertaking this initiative to help make the Y a better place for the community."
"Clinton Power Station has a strong history of supporting the communities around the station and I am proud that the interns included community outreach projects in their learning opportunities this summer," said Russ Kearney, site vice president. "This commitment speaks well of our current as well as our future employees in nuclear energy."
Clinton Power Station has donated more than $32,000 in 2009 to area organizations.

Climate change: CO2 emissions from new cars dropped by 3% in 2011 Published on: 20/06/2012, Last update: 21/06/2012
Europeans are buying more efficient cars. Average carbon dioxide emissions from cars continue to fall in Europe, according to preliminary figures released on 20 June 2012.
The European Environment Agency today published provisional data on average CO2 emissions from new passenger cars registered in 2011. There were 12.8 million new cars registered in the EU in 2011. The average CO2 emissions from these cars were 135.7 grams CO2 per kilometre, which is 4.6g CO2/km less than in 2010 – a reduction of 3.3 %.
2011 is the last year before the CO2 targets become binding. The phase-in of the mandatory target of 130gCO2/km to be met in 2015 will start on the basis of the data for 2012.
According to EEA analysis, a combination of changes in buying behaviour, improved technology and engine efficiency was mostly responsible for this reduction.
Car manufacturers will now be asked to verify these preliminary figures before they are confirmed by the Commission later this year.
In the EU, CO2 emissions from road transport have increased by 23 % since 1990, and are now responsible for approximately one fifth of the EU's total emissions.
In order to cut greenhouse gas emissions from transport, carmakers have a collective target for the average car sold in the EU to emit a maximum of 130g CO2/km by 2015 and 95g CO2/km by 2020.
The EEA collects Member States' data on passenger cars registrations, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, and collates them in a database which covers 99.95% of total registrations.
Data collected includes information on CO2 emissions and the mass of the vehicles, reported by all Member States in order to evaluate the performance of the new vehicle fleet towards the CO2 emission target (130g CO2/km by 2015, to be phased-in from 2012).
According to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, Member States must annually submit information to the Commission for each new passenger car registered on their territory. Five Member States were late in submitting their 2011 data. A small number of Member States also have data quality issues that need to be addressed for next year's data monitoring exercise. The EEA has however noted clear improvements in data submissions for a number of Member States.
This dataset is provisional and will be verified by car manufacturers during a three months period to ensure that targets are set on the basis of correct data. The Commission will confirm the final data later in 2012, taking into account any errors notified by manufacturers.

Well "Glee" just got a lot more interesting. GQ explores the "Glee" phenomenon by getting stars Lea Michele and Dianna Agron to take pictures dressed as sexy school girls. There are words too, but I was too busy fixating on the above pic of normally uptight Rachel (Lea Michele) licking a lollipop in white undies. No wonder the cast can't stop having sex with each other. Why can't the girls prance around the halls in this getup every week? I wouldn't care if they sang Michael Bolton nonstop.
More hot pics of the "Glee" girls after the jump…
In retrospect, I shouldn't have attempted this.
Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Mark Wahlberg has been offered the opportunity to get really super emo in The Crow. The original big screen adaptation was directed by Alex Proyas and followed Eric Draven, who is murdered and comes back to kill the men responsible for putting down him and his fiancée. Brandon Lee was accidently killed by a loaded gun during filming. I say nothing is an accident when Michael Wincott is on set.
Hasn't Wahlberg kind of already done this role in Max Payne? He didn't wear makeup and sling an ax (that's a guitar, for all you squares), but he got revenge for his family's murder with moody music and lighting. My guess is nothing will come of this rumor. Wahlberg should know better than to take the reigns from Crow: Salvation's Eric Mabius of ABC's "Ugly Betty."
Nerd worlds have officially collided. In anticipation of the release of Disney's Tron Legacy, Marvel Comics has created variant covers to celebrate just how nerdy nerd things can get. Beginning in November, superheroes Captain America, Spider-man, Iron Man, and others will get rave-friendly neon lights added to their attire. If you speak fluent nerd, the issues featuring Tron variants, and spotlighted characters, are as follows:
• AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #651 TRON Variant, featuring Spider-Man
• AVENGERS #7 TRON Variant. featuring Spider-Woman
• AVENGERS ACADEMY #7 TRON Variant, featuring Quicksilver
• CAPTAIN AMERICA #612 TRON Variant, featuring Captain America
• INCREDIBLE HULKS #618 TRON Variant, featuring Ghost Rider
• INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #33 TRON Variant, featuring Iron Man
• NEW AVENGERS #7 TRON Variant, featuring Ms. Marvel
• SECRET AVENGERS #7 TRON Variant, featuring Moon Knight
• THOR #617 TRON Variant, featuring Thor
• WOLVERINE #4 TRON Variant, featuring Wolverine
In all honesty though, these re-interpretations look pretty sweet. I just wish it didn't feel so whorey. It's as if each of the above comics should come with a BK Broiler with a cutesy name like the BK Tronoiler. It doesn't sound the least bit appetizing, but you'd eat it because the pickles glow. Hot damn, I'm a marketing genius. Now to the lab to make pickles glow…

It's a slow news morning and this video is so stupidly awesome that I had to post it. It features Doug Funnie from Nickelodeon's "Doug" teaching everyone how to Dougie. Even Skeeter and Patty Mayonaise get in on the action. This probably isn't what Cali Swag District had in mind when they created the ridiculous dance craze, but it'll do. I'm more of a Berney dance guy myself.
Also, this is amusing.

Footloose. Dirty Dancing. Saturday Night Fever. Weekend At Bernie's 2. It only took 17 years, 3 months, and 9 days, but now the dancing corpse has officially inspired a dance craze. Southern rap group I.S.A. have created the hit song thing with music behind it "Moving Like Berney." As you'll see in the video below the jump, the dance is easy enough to do. In fact, it's a modified limbo where you wiggle your head while shuffling about aimlessly. Much like the corpse of Bernie Lomax did in the presence of music thanks to a botched voodoo ritual in the poorly-received but now bonafide hit sequel. I'm so glad this exists. Just in time for my best friend's wedding!

Let's raise a little hell.
Looks like Amber Heard is now Hell's go-to girl when it is breaking loose. Last week we all had a good laugh at the Drive Angry 3D trailer, starring Heard and Nicolas Cage, and today there's news that she may join the on-again, off-again Hellraiser remake. It's reported that lazily-named director Christian E. Christiansen has signed on, and that producers hope to get Heard for their new teen-friendly take on the franchise. We'll keep you posted as the more sanitzed Heckraiser heads toward a start date. (Bloody Disgusting)
We know Ripley can't be in the Alien prequel Ridley Scott is directing, but there may be a way for Sigourney Weaver to lend a hand. While promoting the Blu Ray release of the Alien saga and Avatar, Weaver gave her opinions on the Alien prequel.
"Certainly not as an actor but if they needed help with the story, I could probably help them," Weaver said. "I have a good sense of what people appreciate in the series and what they don't care about. So I hope they'll ask me."

Is the woman in the back right Adam's mom?
President Barack Obama has found some time in his busy schedule of running the Free World to offer up a brief appearance on "Mythbusters." On the episode which airs December 8th, "Obama challenges hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman to prove the ancient Greek myth that scientist and polymath Archimedes set fire to an invading Roman fleet using only mirrors and the reflected rays of the sun."
As any avid "Mythbusters" fan knows, they are revisiting this myth for a second go, as I'm sure they were trolled the first time around on the show's message board. Obama most likely led the flame war so he could get Adam and Jamie to design a new weapons defense system on Discovery Channel's dime. …Suckers. (Deadline)
Meet your new mom.
Struggling to find her place in the post-Transformers world, Megan Fox has signed on for Jon Hamm's boo's comedy Friends With Kids. The movie steals a plotline from season three of "Murphy Brown," with director Jennifer Westfeldt starring alongside Adam Scott as a pair of friends who decide to forego the muckiness that comes with relationships and just skip ahead to the baby-making. That way, they're still free to date hotter people. Hotter people like Jon Hamm and Megan Fox it turns out.
"It's a very literate script and when Jen met with her, she thought Megan was spot on. When (Fox) picks the right part, she has tremendous value," said Cinetic Media's John Sloss, who is handling sales and had his fingers crossed behind his back during the interview. (THR)
I'm endlessly fascinated by zombie apocalypse stories, or any apocalypse stories for that matter. I just love to see the survivors scour the wastelands for supplies. The more supplies they have to gather, the better. There've been other post-apocalyptic shows but they didn't have the "Mad Men" street cred. AMC's zombie apocalypse show does.

The Darren Doppler is tweakin' again. Aronofsky's deal to direct Wolverine 2 is so close to being a real thing that Fox is already talking about concessions of the un-Sour Patch Kids variety. The studio will allow Aronofsky to shoot the sound stage portions of the film in New York so the filmmaker and Hugh Jackman can still go home to their families at night. Production will begin in March, after Aronofsky has had time to pimp Black Swan to the press. After the New York scenes have been shot, the production will move to Japan, far, far away from any wives and kids. You know what that means… Both guys will finally have time to finish The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest novel. They can't wait to see how the Millenium Trilogy ends. (Deadline)
What do you get the billionaire who has everything? A mediocre director with only one name, apparently.
Richard Branson, the owner of Virgin Airlines, is branching out into the film business (which will no doubt save money as far as in-flight movies are concerned). The corporate mogul is attempting to acquire the script for Columbus, which is described as a "300-style film about Christopher Columbus and his discovery of America." If the thought of an Indian kicking the explorer down a giant hole while yelling "This is the pre-Columbian Bahamas" doesn't float your boat, you're probably not going to like the fact that McG is attached to direct.
Branson is known for his love of extreme stunts. That being said, putting millions of dollars behind the man who made Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is sure to get his adrenaline pumping. (Deadline)
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have teamed up in the past to take on horror and the action genre, now they've set their sights on sci-fi. As this teaser for Paul will show you, the pair play nuuurrrdddssss who encounter an alien outside of Area 51.
Not much comedy is shown in this teaser and I need to applaud Greg Mottola's restraint in not having the alien play air guitar or perform a Black Eyed Peas song. Because that's the constant temptation and danger with working with CGI characters. Before you even realize it, you've veered into Alvin and the Chipmunks territory.

Good news for people who like horror movies and, or crappy bootlegs. Some guy took a video of the new teaser trailer for Scream 4 using his cellphone and posted it online for all to enjoy.
The footage was taken at Spike's Scream Awards, which I can only assume was held in Scream City, over on Scream street. You know, in the Scream district. At any rate, it's a little shaky, but it's still a first look, so quit complaining. (Cinema Blend)

Earlier in the week we reported a rumor that Hollywood was eyeing Bradley Cooper to play Barry Allen a.k.a. The Flash. Turns out someone was shooting off at the mouth again and deserves a stern smack in it. Super Hero Hype caught up with Cooper and got his reaction to the whole Flash casting fiasco:
"I've never heard anything about it ever in my life," Cooper responded, laughing that the idea of his casting has become so prevalent online.
"It's funny," he added.
Funny? There's nothing funny about lying. Rumors make us bloggers look like hopped up gossip whores, running all over the world wide web, spreading hearsay into the eyes and ears and mouths of the masses. The Internet won't stand for it! …Oh wait, yes it will.

David O. Russell surprised us all when he pulled a Paul Thomas Anderson Paul W.S. Anderson and took the helm of videogame adaptation Uncharted. MTV reports that Nathan Fillion, who apparently doesn't mind gettin' told, took to Twitter to campaign for the lead. He told his nerds:
"If ever there was a Twitter campaign, let this be it. Rise, ye Browncoats. Rise, ye Castillions. RISE!"
And rise they did. They took to Deadline's comment section to nominate Fillion for the role. He should realize if you wanna get anything done, you need to take your case to Facebook. Look what it did for Betty White and that pickle that's more well-liked than Nickelback. I've gotta agree though. Fillion would be a great fit for the project. He's got the chin, the bravado, and the swagger. With juuuuust a little bit of special effects work, he could really look the part. As evidenced by this high-end digital mock-up.
The Jackass 3D gang recently sat down with Break to discuss their favorite stunts, both past and present. Toy cars up orifices and beards made from Steve-O's pubes seem to be up there on the list. The most interesting piece of information I gleaned is Steve-O feels it's necessary to save his pubes in his medicine cabinet instead of throwing them away. I guess it would be a sacrilege to not glue them to someone's face.

Clever girl.
Peter Jackson has finalized his deal to return to the Shire. The Lord Of The Rings helmer is locked and loaded and ready to direct the living crap out of The Hobbit. New Line Cinema and MGM managed to come to a deal. My bet is the cash-strapped MGM will have to do New Line's laundry for an entire year. Either that or something having to do with percentage points.
However, this wouldn't be The Hobbit if there weren't concerns over additional delays. The project has overcome bankruptcy and a fire, but is now only curtailed by a union dispute in New Zealand. If this cannot be resolved for the planned February start date, the production will have to move elsewhere. Which will cause more delays and drive up the already high budget. Which means MGM will be folding undies for a long time to come. (NY Times)
Sony wants little young white boys. The studio is currently casting for miniature versions of Spider-man and The Lizard for their Spider-man reboot, which recently added Rhys Ifans as adult Lizard. Moviehole has the specs:
Sony wants a dark-haired Caucasian boy to play actor Peter Parker at age 4 to 6 years old . Ideally, the boy should look a little like Andrew Garfield. In addition, the studio's on the hunt for an actor to play Billy Connors, the son of Dr. Curt Connor. Applicants need be between 8 and 11 years old.
Don't flip your sh*t, I'm sure the kiddies won't be a huge part of the storyline. They'll most likely be featured in minimal flashbacks. I seem to remember that comic issue when Peter egged Billy's house on Halloween and Curt took the belt to his son for fraternizing with lowlifes. Yeah, I definitely read that in a comic and didn't manifest it subconciously to block out a traumatic childhood event.
Back to the Future is one of those movies I've wondered about my whole life. I love it, even the theories I don't think make sense, I love thinking about them. The upcoming Blu-Ray release answered my number one question: What would Eric Stoltz have been like as Marty McFly?
For the rest, I got to talk to screenwriter Bob Gale. He's in the bonus features, with Robert Zemeckis, Stephen Spielberg, Michael J. Fox and Lea Thompson talking about all three films, with still new stories to tell since the last DVD extras. Sorry, I neglected all the burning 1941 questions.

The price for a blown take: purple nurple.
Looks like Paul Verhoeven has his next movie lined up. The man who has brought us so much joy in the form of giant space insects, invisible men, robotic cops, triple-breasts, hot tub dolphin sex, and a good view of Sharon Stone's bathing suit area, is looking to direct the supernatural thriller Eternal.
The film tells the story of a married man fighting an alcohol addiction. He begins a torrid affair with a troubled young woman, only to discover that she's actually a succubus ghost who is after his very soul. Big whoop. I dated one of those when I first moved to the city. As long as she's putting out, I don't see what the issue is. (Deadline)
I loves me some badass, bald Bruce. He's my hero and Red had all the makings of the kind of crazy action movie I like. In some ways it kind of delivered but I'm still disappointed by it. The comedy works and making that the context for the action totally works, but it's more "Moonlighting" than Die Hard.
Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) goes about his daily routines, flirting with Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) by phone as she handles his pension check. When ski masked guys come to his house, he takes them all out, goes after Sarah and gets the old gang back together. He was a CIA operative with Joe Matheson (Morgan Freeman), Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren). Now agent Cooper (Karl Urban) is on their tail.

That could work. But I would reccomend using sudo to be safe. IIRC you had alot of issues getting RH to work on your box (from here and over on the RH list). I dont want to reccomend that unless I know it will work. But I use sudo for EVERYTHING, and have zero issues.
Sudo is like su, excpet it is for individual commands. Like ::
sudo rpm -Uvh *rpm
That will allow a normal user to upgrade all of the RPMs in the current directory, presuming that the user in in the sudoers file. at the cli, as root, type /usr/sbin/visudo and edit the file accordingly. It is well commented and towards the bottom you can see where it allows individual users and the group permissions (allow only johndoe out of group dudes as oppesed to all of group dudes to run sudo). I just gave my account full access. Noone else.
So after saying that, take for example you need to edit a nonpermitted file. You like ... kwrite as your editor, you can make a launcher that has the command (with run in terminal box checked, so you can type the password) sudo kwrite or if you prefer to do su, kdesu kwrite (which will ask for root instead of your user accounts password).
After thinking (I dont know if this is a security wise safe thing) you COULD add yourself into the root group. And then change perms for the group users on the dir. Its a thought ...

Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Virus Vaccine Live Lyophilized Preparation for Subcutaneous Injection
ProQuad (Measles, Mumps, Rubella and VaricellaVaccine Live) is a combined, attenuated, live virus vaccine containing measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella viruses. ProQuad is a sterile lyophilized preparation of (1) the components of M-M-R II (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Virus Vaccine Live): Measles Virus Vaccine Live, a more attenuated line of measles virus, derived from Enders' attenuated Edmonston strain and propagated in chick embryo cell culture; Mumps Virus Vaccine Live, the Jeryl Lynn™ (B level) strain of mumps virus propagated in chick embryo cell culture; Rubella Virus Vaccine Live, the Wistar RA 27/3 strain of live attenuated rubella virus propagated in WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts; and (2) Varicella Virus Vaccine Live (Oka/Merck), the Oka/Merck strain of varicella-zoster virus propagated in MRC-5 cells. The cells, virus pools, bovine serum, and human albumin used in manufacturing are all tested to provide assurance that the final product is free of potential adventitious agents.
ProQuad, when reconstituted as directed, is a sterile suspension for subcutaneous administration. Each 0.5-mL dose contains not less than 3.00 log10 TCID50 of measles virus; 4.30 log10 TCID50 of mumps virus; 3.00 log10 TCID50 of rubella virus; and a minimum of 3.99 log10 PFU of Oka/Merck varicella virus.
Each 0.5-mL dose of the vaccine nominally contains 20 mg of sucrose, 11 mg of hydrolyzed gelatin, 2.5 mg of urea; 2.3 mg of sodium chloride, 16 mg of sorbitol, 0.38 mg of monosodium L-glutamate, 0.14 mg of sodium phosphate, 0.25 mg of human albumin, 0.13 mg of sodium bicarbonate, 94 mcg of potassium phosphate, 58 mcg of potassium chloride; residual components of MRC-5 cells including DNA and protein; 5 mcg of neomycin, bovine serum albumin (0.5 mcg), and other buffer and media ingredients. The product contains no preservative.17
What are the possible side effects of this vaccine (ProQuad)?
Your child should not receive a booster vaccine if he or she had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects your child has after receiving this vaccine. If the child ever needs to receive a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shots caused any side effects.
Becoming infected with measles, mumps, rubella, or varicella is much more dangerous to your child's health than receiving this vaccine. However, like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects but the risk of serious side effects is...

A new report suggests that the popularity of Google's Android OS is due to peak in 2012. The market will begin a major shift towards a strong Microsoft Windows platform.
The market research firm IDC just released the details of its latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker report. The firm predicts that, while cell phone shipments will reach 1.8 billion units this year (compared to 1.7 billion in 2011), the numbers reflect stalled growth when compared to previous years. The major cause seems to be the beginning of a rapid decline in sales for feature phones. The IDC forecasts the lowest annual growth rate in their sales since 2009.
Protect your Android devices with the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand cases and skins specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression. Discover a wide protection collection for:
Samsung Galaxy S 3, Galaxy S 2, Galaxy S2 X, Galaxy S 2 LTE, Galaxy Tab
HTC One S, HTC One X, HTC One V, HTC EVO 3D, HTC Flyer and HTC Jetstream
Nokia Lumia 900 and Nokia Lumia 800
Motorola Droid RAZR, Motorola Defy, Motoluxe, Motorola Xoom
Sony Xperia U, Sony Xperia ION, Sony Xperia Play
LG Optimus L7, LG Optimus 4G LTE and the Optimus Pad
IDC analyst Kevin Restivo was quoted as saying, "The smartphone parade won't be as lively this year as it has been in past. The mobile phone user-transition from feature phones to smartphones will continue in a gradual but unabated fashion. Smartphone growth, however, will increasingly be driven by a triumvirate of smartphone operating systems, namely Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7."
The smartphone market is expected to continue growing over the next five years, but IDC sees 2012 as the start of a major shift. Android has a big lead in the number of devices sporting its popular OS – predicted to be a 61% share by year-end. Apple's iOS takes second place with 20.5%, one-third the size of Google's market. The upstart Microsoft Windows/Windows Mobile will probably end 2012 with a 5.2% share of the market, less than one-tenth the size of Android. By 2016, the IDC says the numbers will look significantly different.
They predict that smartphone shipments will continue to grow through 2016, but this timeframe will see a big decline in Android OS use. It will probably peak in 2012 and then begin to lose significant market share to the Windows Phone platform. Apple's iOS will probably see some decline as well.
Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables, HTC Media Link and XMI Speakers all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
Here are the IDC's predictions. Between 2012 and 2016, Android's share of the global market will decline more than 7% - from 61% to 52.9%. Apple's iOS will become slightly less popular, going from 20.5% to 19%. Microsoft will be the big winner, with a quadrupling of its market share from 2012's measly 5.2% to 19.2% in 2016. This obviously surpasses iOS as the No.2 smartphone platform in the world, not to mention ought to cause Google execs some sleepless nights.
"Underpinning the smartphone market is the constantly shifting OS landscape," IDC analyst Ramon Llamas said. "Android will maintain leadership throughout our forecast, while others will gain more mobile operator partnerships (Apple) or currently find themselves in the midst of a major transition (BlackBerry and Windows Phone/Windows Mobile). What remains to be seen is how these different operating systems – as well as others – will define and shape the user experience beyond what we see today in order to attract new customers and encourage replacements."
IDC expects RIM's smartphone market share to stay relatively flat for the next few years. It will probably hold steady at around 6%. Other smartphone platforms can only expect a mere 3% of the market by 2016, down from 7.2% in 2012. Samsung's Tizen platform makes up the majority of that 3%. Sorry Samsung. Maybe you should concentrate on Galaxy S IV and beyond.

May 3, 2012 Comments Off on Water Tight 2012 – The top issues in the global water sector
Water Tight 2012 – The top issues in the global water sector
Water is our most precious resource. Its availability transcends political borders. While the challenge for increased competition is global, the issues must be solved on a local level by governments, businesses, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and domestic consumers, all working together.
The aim of this report is to highlight the top issues that the Deloitte Global Deloitte Energy and Resources Water practice regard as the most important for the water sector. These issues are of course all interconnected with each other and with other resource issues, and should not be considered in isolation.
Rapid growth in demand for for this finite resource is a central theme and is reflected in all of the issues we discuss. The global water sector's future will be characterised by efforts to manage demand and increase supply. We thank that continued awareness campaigns, more effective water pricing, a better understanding of the relationship between water, energy and food, and technology advances will play an important role in these efforts.
Climate change is also a key theme. It increases the risk of volatility in the availability of water resources and exacerbates the impact of forces driving demand. Unpredictable weather conditions also adversely affect the functioning of water assets and make planning and investment in water infrastructure more expensive.
To meet further demand, trillions of dollars will be needed on a global level to update aging infrastructure and expand water related assets. With government funding and borrowing capabilities severely impaired as a result of the ongoing financial crisis, the private sector is likely to play a bigger role in the water industry in the future. More water suppliers may be privatised, and it may be necessary to find mechanisms that allow water to be priced as a true commodity.
Efforts to demonstrate water stewardship will be a key theme for utilities and water users in coming years. Close collaboration between utilities, regulators and all users of water is required to address the ultimate issue – the scarcity of water resources in many parts of the world.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Eighth grade students at Bangor School District's Doughty and Cohen Middle Schools gathered in their auditoriums today, not for class, but for a candid conversation about drugs and alcohol.
December 3rd is the State of Maine's Department of Education's annual alcohol awareness day. In honor of that registered nurse and motivational speaker, Linda Dutil, visited the Doughty and Cohen schools to talk with students about the dangers of abusing drugs and alcohol and what the outcomes can be. Dutil refers to her talks as positive and engaging, as opposed to the scared-straight approach. "Part of my message is helping the students realize that they have the power to make good choices and no one can take that away from them," says Dutil.
One of Dutil's tactics is to demonstrate to students what happens in the emergency room during a drug overdose or alcohol poisoning situation. Eighth grader Grace Perron was invited on stage during the assembly at the Doughty School to assist in a demonstration of what happens when someone's stomach needs to pumped after an overdose. "I would not want any of that stuff to happen to me," said Perron referring to the effects of drugs and alcohol. "It affects the way you act, how you do in school, what your career might be so I wouldn't want that to happen to me."
Dutil also showed pictures of how the appearance of someone who is addicted to drugs changes over time, and also how their teeth can be rotted as a result of that addiction.
Dutil, a Waterville native, has been speaking with students about the topic for the last 15 years. According to her website, www.dose-of-reality.com, Dutil has presented her program to over 250,000 students in 44 states.

A Little Trickeration?
With a young quarterback taking snaps for the Cards, will the Jets be able to fool him with some nifty trickery? Cimini thinks they might in ESPN New York.
Look for the Jets to give Lindley a multitude of pre-snap looks, changing fronts and disguising coverages. It didn't work against Tom Brady, but it should work against Lindley, a sixth-round pick from San Diego State. The pass rush won't always get to Lindley — the Cards will counter with quick passes — but the Jets can make it hard on him by giving him a lot to think about before the snap.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comMaybe, we'll see. I don't know what this Jets defense is capable of anymore and the lack of a legitimate pass rush for more than two seasons has become troubling. Without Revis, the Jets are much more hesitant to send defensive backs on blitzes, but even so … the Jets should have reliable pass rushers and they just haven't had them since John Abraham and Shaun Ellis was part of this team.

Pyloric stenosis is an uncommon condition affecting the opening (pylorus) between the stomach and small intestine in infants. The pylorus is a muscular valve that holds food in the stomach until it is ready for the next stage in the digestive process.
In pyloric stenosis, the pylorus muscles thicken, blocking food from entering the baby's small intestine. Pyloric stenosis can lead to forceful vomiting, dehydration and weight loss. Babies with this condition may seem to always be hungry.
Pyloric stenosis can be fixed with surgery.
Signs of pyloric stenosis usually appear within three to six weeks after birth. Pyloric stenosis is rare in babies older than age 3 months.
Watch for these signs and symptoms:
Contact your baby's doctor if your baby is:
The causes of pyloric stenosis are unknown, but genetic and environmental factors probably play a role.
Risk factors for pyloric stenosis include:
Pyloric stenosis can lead to:
If you suspect that your child has pyloric stenosis, you're likely to start by seeing your child's regular doctor. However, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating digestive disorders (gastroenterologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Be ready to answer questions your doctor may ask:
Often, your baby's doctor can feel an olive-shaped lump — the enlarged pyloric muscle — when examining your baby's abdomen. The peristaltic waves in the baby's abdomen are another telltale sign of pyloric stenosis.
Your doctor may also order blood tests to look for signs of dehydration.
An ultrasound will usually confirm the diagnosis.
Pyloric stenosis is typically treated with a surgical procedure known as pyloromyotomy (pie-lor-o-my-OT-uh-me). The surgeon cuts through the outside layer of the thickened pylorus muscle, allowing the inner lining to bulge out. This opens a channel for food to pass through to the small intestine.
Results of surgery are generally excellent with few complications.
Surgery is often scheduled on the same day as the diagnosis. If your baby is dehydrated or has an electrolyte imbalance, he or she will receive fluid replacement before surgery.
Pyloromyotomy is often done using minimally invasive surgery. The surgeon operates through a slender viewing instrument (laparoscope) inserted through a small incision near your baby's navel. Recovery from the laparoscopic procedure is quicker than is recovery from a traditional open surgery, and the procedure leaves a smaller scar.
After surgery, your baby may receive IV fluids for a few hours or until he or she can eat. It's common for some vomiting to occur for a few days after surgery.
Potential complications of surgery include bleeding and infection, but the rate of complications is low. Pyloromyotomy doesn't increase the risk of future stomach or intestinal problems.
Most infants return home within 48 hours. Recovery from surgery takes about a week. Your baby may want to feed more often following surgery — this is normal.

MASSENA The village Board of Trustees on Tuesday unanimously approved an agreement with the town to continue providing a village police presence at Massena International Airport through the end of the year.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said he expects the Town Council to approve the same agreement tonight.
I would be very surprised if they didnt, he said.
Mr. Gray said he spoke with the mayor last week, before finalizing the details of the agreement Tuesday morning.
The agreement will pay the village $68.85 per day for the next three months.
That covers the cost of our officers going out there, Mayor James F. Hidy said, adding this agreement will give the town time to explore other options before the start of the new year.
It looks like we can help them out, while in the meantime they look for other venues to provide the airport with security, Mr. Hidy said.
Mr. Gray said he has exchanged several emails with Transportation Security Administration officials, and he is optimistic that prior to the start of the new year, the town will have other plans in place.
I think were going to be able to work out a different arrangement with the TSA, which would be fine with the village, Mr. Gray said. Well see how that goes over the next couple of months.
When asked if he was expecting to be granted permission to use a flexible response time plan, Mr. Gray said he wasnt sure, explaining such a plan would enable the village to not have law enforcement officials present at the airport, as long as TSA officials could be sure officers would be there within minutes, if needed.
I dont know if its going to be that or if well have to work something else out, he said.
While the village and the town have reached an agreement to cover the airport for the next three months, Mr. Hidy pointed out the town still owes the village close to $60,000.
Its pretty substantial, Mr. Hidy said. Ive asked the town to make us whole at their next meeting.
That meeting will be held tonight.
Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said that while the security issue has garnered a lot of attention in recent weeks, it is important to note that the village Police Department has day in and day out provided a presence at the airport.
Its important to point out the village of Massena Police Department recognizes the importance of the airport, he said, adding the TSA reimbursement rate is set each year by Congress. The current reimbursement rate of $22.96 per hour translates to a daily reimbursement of $68.88, pretty much the agreed-upon rate for the next three months.
Village Trustee Patricia K. Wilson said she was glad an agreement could be reached.
It looks like a good path going forward, she said.
Mr. Hidy also noted that the agreement was contingent upon town board approval.

San Yuan Li
2003. China. Directed by Ou Ning, Cao Fei. China's rapid modernization literally engulfs the village of San Yuan Li within the surrounding skyscrapers of Guangzhou, a city of 12 million people. The villagers, who move to a different rhythm, thriving on subsistence farming and traditional crafts, resourcefully reinvent their traditional lifestyle by tending rice paddies in empty city lots and raising chickens in makeshift rooftop coops. Led by visual artists Ou Ning and Cao Fei, a dozen videographers, including Huang Weikai, who went on to direct Disorder, collaborated on this highly stylized village-in-a-city symphony, exploring the modern paradox of China's economic growth and social marginalization. Courtesy of dGenerate/Icarus. No dialogue. 45 min.
2009. China. Directed by Huang Weikai. Assembling footage from a dozen amateur videographers, Huang Weikai presents a unique anti-city symphony of urban dysfunction that is alternately hilarious and horrifying. Pigs racing down a busy highway, government VIPs swimming in a polluted river, a hit-and-run victim being bribed to leave the scene, and an abandoned baby gawked at by passersby are all stranger-than-fiction visions that could never be aired on Chinese state television. These images represent both an alternative media culture of amateur videographers and viral video netizens, and the chaos seething through the cracks of a society in rapid transformation.

You can reset your root password by booting in single user mode and then using the passwd command to change root password.
Here is a link on how to do it in Fedora / Ubuntu. It should be similar in Mandriva.
Can someone please tell me how to login in to get administrator privlages.
I have a 300 gig Hdd (external) that I plug into the USB port but I can't access the Hdd because it says I don't have adminstrator privledges, how do I get those privledges to read the Hdd. It won't let me login in as root when I start the system
Thank you,
You can reset your root password by booting in single user mode and then using the passwd command to change root password.
Here is a link on how to do it in Fedora / Ubuntu. It should be similar in Mandriva.
you have to go in a terminal and log as root then edit /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc
and change AllowRootLogin=false to AllowRootLogin=true
save, close your graphic sesion and press ctrl+alt+backspace and login as root
you always can do su in a terminal
are you sure your drive is not ntfs? if yes then you might have a little bit of work to do to mount it in read/write.
To get around the root GUI login problem, couldn't <ctrl><alt><F2>...<F6> give you a text UI from the console which would alow you to get access as root?
You could also try to open a teminal window and su to root and do it too.
That's true in Fedora, is Mandriva / KDE any different?
Not allowing root logins from the GUI could be a good security feature to prevent passers by doing bad things to an unattended system logged in as the root user. (assuming they don't have an unattended root terminal window open in the GUI, or sudo access that doesn't prompt for a password, which are other bad things to do too from a security)
you are right tuxete su works well in mandriva and in the console (F1 to F6) you can login as root (not like ubuntu).
and you are right again that for security point of view it is better but in that case the ubuntu way is even better...it's just a mix...( I'm not really a big sudo fan)
I was just giving to kwdaye the way to log in as root as he asked!

As an undergraduate psychology major, students explore all facets of the field. Since many careers in psychology require graduate study, the psychology department stresses the breadth and depth of the field to equip you with a good foundation for graduate study as well as for immediate entrance into a variety of related fields.
After graduation, approximately 40 percent of psychology majors pursue employment in a variety of areas, such as personnel, social services, law enforcement, and marketing, to name a few. Many continue in Loyola's graduate programs at the master's and doctoral levels, while others seek specialized training in other fields, such as medicine and law. About 60 percent of psychology majors seek graduate training, either immediately after graduation or after a period of working in the field.
The M.S., or master's of science, degree is available in clinical or counseling psychology. Our master's programs focus on the scientific study of individual and collective behavior, the physical and environmental bases of behavior, and the analysis and treatment of behavior problems and disorders.
This degree provides individuals with a background in the development and application of psychological theories, basic scientific methods, and principles of psychological science. The master's programs provides pre-doctoral training and builds practitioner-oriented competencies.
The Psy.D., or doctor of psychology, degree is a professional doctorate in clinical psychology. Previously, those interested in psychology could only obtain a Ph.D., or doctor of philosophy, degree, which is primarily a research degree. The Psy.D. program at Loyola University Maryland is a highly intensive, practitioner-based program, giving graduates the means to function in a variety of professional roles.

San Francisco is the second most densely populated major city in the United States. It is the centerpiece of the San Francisco Bay Area that also includes Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, and the area known as Silicon Valley. One of the best things about renting or buying in San Francisco or the Bay Area in general is the access you have to a very diverse selection of outdoor destinations along with other sites and attractions. To the north of San Francisco is beautiful Marin County, featuring great views of the fog rolling into San Francisco through the Golden Gate Bridge along with great hills, quaint towns and pleasant beaches. Renting and apartment or buying a home in San Francisco gives you easy access to the economic powerhouse of Silicon Valley that boasts companies like Cisco, Google, Hewlett Packard, Yahoo!, and Apple.
Buying a home or renting an apartment in San Francisco gives you access to many many weekend getaways. Within 120 miles to the south of San Francisco is Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Carmel. Traveling east you can stop buy the governor's mansion in Sacramento on your 3 hour trip to Lake Tahoe for some skiing during the winter or hiking during the summer, and gambling all year round. If Lake Tahoe is not your style, you can drive less than an hour from San Francisco to get into the heart of wine country in both Sonoma County and Napa Valley. You can drink wine, eat cheese, or just take in the scenery. Be careful, as it gets pretty hot during the summer months. (PlumpJack is HotPads' favorite winery.)
Renting an apartment or buying a home in San Francisco isn't all about outdoor activities though. There are also countless of neighborhood festivals, a great arts scene, and lots of professional sports.
Renting or buying in San Francisco, CA.
San Francisco is known for its tight housing market with rent and for sale prices higher than most other metro areas in the country. As with any other city, you need to conduct a extensive housing search. However, in San Francisco it is important to move quickly when you find a house or apartment that you like as nice places tend to go off the market quickly.
San Francisco Professional Sports Teams
MLB: San Francisco Giants, Cross Bay Rivals: Oakland Athletics
NBA: There is no NBA Team in San Francisco, but Oakland has the Golden State Warriors
NFL: San Francisco Forty-Niners, Cross Bay Rivals: Oakland Raiders
NHL: None in San Francisco, but San Jose Sharks

This is a "Mandarin" style (Beijing/Sichuan) dish using hot chili, chili bean sauce, garlic and tomato sauce to stir-fry shrimp. The recipe was learned from the same reputable chef. The dish was another best seller in his restaurant. This dish may carry many names: Imperial Shrimp, Mandarin Shrimp, Peking Shrimp or other non-descriptive English names. The Chinese name: 乾燒蝦, which means dry-cooked shrimp, may be more meaningful.
Serving suggestion: 2
Main ingredients: Medium size shrimp (with shell), about 1 1/4 lb. Other ingredients include garlic, ginger, chili bean sauce, tomato sauce, chicken broth (not shown) and some seasonings (not shown).
Shell each shrimp: trim off the head. Use your fingers to peel off the shell. Use a chef knief or utility knief to make a cut about half-way through along the back of the shrimp. Devein. Rinse under running water.
It is much easier to shell and devein the shrimp with a small utility knief under the running water with a bin underneath.
You may save the shrimp heads and shells to make stock. I usually use them to make a stock, and add some miso paste and cubed tofu to make miso soup. Or add some Thai Tom Yum soup paste, a few pieces of shrimp and some sliced button mushrooms to make Thai style soup.
Marinate the shrimp: In general, seafood is very delicate. Do not use heavy sauces (such as soy sauce and oyster sauce) to marinate seafood.
Add deshelled/deveined shrimp to a small mixing bowl. Add 1/4 tsp of salt, 2 tsp of cooking oil and 2 tsp of corn starch.
Mix all ingredients well. Set aside for about 20 minutes before cooking.
Meanwhile, prepare the aromatics. Use about a 1-inch cut of ginger, 4 to 5 cloves of garlic, and 1 to 2 stalks of green onion.
Use a grater to grate the ginger. Peel and mince the garlic. Trim the ends of the green onions and finely chop.
When ready to cook: use a wok/pan, set stove to high setting, add 3 tblsp of cooking oil. Wait until oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp. Cook until the color of shrimp turns from light grey to white and orange red, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan and drain. Discard the oil.
Use the same pan, maintain stove setting at high, add 2 tblsp of cooking oil. Wait until oil heats up and just starts fuming. Add the shredded ginger and minced garlic. Add 1 to 1.5 tsp of chili bean sauce. Add 1 tsp of chili sauce. (Note: if you like hot and spicy food, you may add more chili sauce to taste.) No need to add extra salt because the chili bean sauce is very salty and the shrimp has already been salted.
Stir well. Cook for about 15 seconds. Dash in 2 tsp of white vinegar and 1 tsp of Shao Hsing cooking wine.
Add 1/4 cup of chicken broth, 1/2 can (small 8-oz can) of tomato sauce, and 3 tsp of sugar. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil. Use a small amount of corn starch slurry (suggest: 1/2 tsp corn starch dissolved in 2 tsp of water) to thicken the sauce to the right consistency.
Re-add the pre-cooked shrimp. Stir well.
Continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until shrimp is reheated. Finished.
Transfer to the dinner plate. Add the chopped green onions on top to add flavor and to serve as a garnish.
The finished dish.

NUMBER FOUR When the family of Lyle F. Davoy Jr., allegedly slain by his father Monday evening, got a knock on the door at 1 a.m. in their Dinwiddie, Va., home, they had no idea of the devastating news they were about to receive.
They also say theyd been given no indication there was any trouble brewing between the father, Lyle F. Davoy Sr., and son.
In a phone interview, his mother, brothers and sisters recalled his gentle nature, confident if Mr. Davoy Jr. had sensed any trouble, he would have left.
His mother, Christina A. Polansky, offered no comment on the elder Davoys demeanor or motive.
I dont know the man he is now, she said.
County officials did not reveal a motive at a press conference Tuesday, saying the case is still under investigation.
Estranged from his father for most of his life, Mr. Davoy was raised by his mother and stepfather, with Davoy not in the picture.
He had no part in his life whatsoever, Mrs. Polansky said.
After divorcing her sons father when he was around a year old, she relocated to Virginia, where she and her husband, Stephen H. Polansky, raised their family.
Two brothers and two sisters dont see themselves as half-siblings.
I consider him my whole brother, said Mark A. Polansky. Were all family here.
Two years ago, her son relocated to Lewis County and reconnected with his father. He had been living in the Stillwater Road residence with him since December, according to Mrs. Polansky.
That residence is where deputies allege an argument turned deadly.
The family members, based on what they said they have heard and what they know about their brother and son, believe he was leaving the premises following the argument and was shot in the back by his father.
Lyle was trying to walk away because he didnt like conflict, said his sister, Trina M. Janosik. He was always telling everybody thats ever known him, Cant we all just get along?
She said that would always result in laughter. Thats Lyle.
Officials would not confirm whether the injuries were consistent with a gunshot to the back.
Lyle, my first born, was a gentle soul, his mother said.
His sister, Amandalyn C.J. Polansky, called him passive and always peaceful.
He contacted the family several times a week. Most recently, He left me a beautiful voicemail on Mothers Day, his mother said.
Brian J. Polansky choked through tears as he recalled memories of his brother.
He taught me how to play soccer. He tried to teach me to play hockey. He loved hockey, he said, Im glad I got the chance to have a brother so kind as he was.
His mother said his gentle nature extended to those outside his family as well.
He was the boy who helped out with special education kids, she said.
In Lowville, his mother said, he volunteered at the county-owned recycling plant.
Even in death, he will continue to contribute by giving someone else the gift of vision, his mother said. Mr. Davoy was an organ donor and his family donated his eyes, she said.
We believe through his eyes, he passes along the ability to see the good in the world and in others, she said. May they see the world Lyle could see.
