Turkish Riot Police Storm Taksim Square, Central Banks Warns Of Intervention Due To Extreme Market Volatility
Over a week into "Occupy Taksim", the Turkish situation is nowhere near resolution. In fact, judging by the capital markets response to news that hundreds of police stormed Taksim Square this morning using tear gas to disperse protesters, where the Turkish lira declined overnight to the weakest level since December 2011, bond yields dropped 29 bps, Turkish CDS rose wider than Russia, and where even the central bank has warned it may start engaging in tightening operations, things are going to get much worse. Finally, a big demonstration is due in a few hours: will Taksim Square June 2013 be the "Waddel and Reed/May 2010" Syntagma Square flash crash equivalent? Find out shortly.
More from Reuters:
Turkish riot police fired tear gas and water cannon at hundreds of protesters armed with rocks and fireworks on Tuesday as they tried to take back control of a central Istanbul square at the heart of fierce anti-government demonstrations.
Hundreds of riot police backed by armored vehicles surrounded Taksim Square as bulldozers began removing barricades of paving stones and corrugated iron built by the protesters. What began as a protest at redevelopment plans for the square has grown into an unprecedented challenge to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's Islamist-rooted government and divided Turks.
The unrest has damaged investor confidence in Turkey, previously an emerging market success story. The central bank said it would intervene if needed to support the lira, after the currency fell to its weakest against its dollar/euro basket since October 2011. The cost of insuring Turkish debt against default rose to the highest in ten months, although it remained far from crisis levels.
The police move, shortly after dawn, came a day after Erdogan agreed to meet protest leaders, whose peaceful demonstrations two weeks ago spiraled into anti-government protests in cities across the country in which three people have been killed and about 5,000 hurt.
Police removed huge banners hung by protesters from a building overlooking Taksim but the local governor said they had no intention of breaking up a peaceful campaign against government redevelopment plans inside the adjoining Gezi Park, where the demonstrations first began.
"Our aim is to remove the signs and pictures on the Ataturk statue and the Ataturk Cultural Centre. We have no other aim," Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu wrote on Twitter.

They should just ban squares......lot's of bad stuff seems to go down in them.
Why not just ban poor people?
We need solutions, not workarounds.
We could just ban people all together.....but let's do in reverse this time.
Start at the top of the governments and work down.....I think you'll be surprised and pleased by the results.
And central banks!
We should ban pop ups.
Better solution, ban the internet.
LOL ~ Everytime I hear the word "ban something", for some reason I always recollect that scene from the movie "Wall St." where those two "Housewives of the Hamptons" are sitting on the sofa drinking Dona K's wine & one is talking about some "Ukranian bitch who botched her bikini wax", & the other says "OMG ~ you should sue"...
I must say, they don't bother me on my comp, but they freeze up my phone. Tyler, can we get a mobile proxy so that the pop-up flash is disabled? While we're being all nit picky, Waddell/Reed 2011 should be Waddell/Reed 2010.
I don't get any pop-up ads. Sure you know how to set your browser's pop-up blocker?

Ya just gotta believe that one of these days, one of these events is going to be the final straw, unraveling everything worldwide.
If only I could monetize all the straw that's piled up so far, I'd be better off than I currently am.
I hear straw theft is up significantly over the last few years.
"Dad, lets skip that educational tour to Istanpool and Attens...lets forget the pyramids this summer also.... and how about the Family go to Six Flags instead?"

If it gets any worse they'll send in Baron Munchausen...

Imagine if this was happening in one of those dictatorial banana republic 'democracies' like Zimbabwe or America, the police would have started shooting by now.
Americans don't need to go out protesting because jackboot glorification shows are all over the airwaves 24/7 proving once & for all that they're the government & they're here to help, [only to be pre-empted once a day when the teleprompter hijacks them to give a news conference telling you how great everything is]...
At the slightest whiff of trouble, entire cities go on lockdown, doors are busted down, & people are told to hide under their desks with a pair of toenail clippers...
Amerika is BASTIN' STRANG bitchez!
Americans don't need to protest, because they've got guns, dood. Protests are soooo third world.
While the Americans have guns, the Zionist Occupation Government can do whatever the fuck it likes ... and completely get away with it!
Guns are not even as good as baseball bats or pitchforks without ammo... The ZOG is working on that as we speak...
suicide rates are up all over the place. that is where the guns have come into play so far.
You mean those 'two shots in the back of the head' suicides?
Reminds me of an ole murder case from a long time ago. Woman caught her husband cheating on her, running up cc bills on porn and other misc douchebaggery. Guy turns up missing, so the cops go out, have a look around, find the body in a well with five gunshots entering from the back. She told them, "Well, he was acting a little depressed..."
Maybe this is going to sound weird Fonz, but as someone living in the UK (So it's "none of my business"), I hope you do hang on to your guns. I get a bad feeling that the last stand against this shit, is going to be in Amercia......if they ever get your guns off you, it really is game over for the human race.
They already have all the tools and power they need to control the world, the Romans never had nukes or battle/carrier groups. Or computers to track your every move, purchase, thought, fear and love. I think the only thing stopping them from going full retard, is the fact that you have more guns than they do.
America may be descending in to a shit hole........but Amercians?.........I really hope there are enough that wake up. I always thought the next Hitler would pop up in Europe, but by hell, if he turns up in the USA with the NSA, CIA, USAF, DHS, IRS, USMC etc etc etc at his/her disposal, the world will be plunged in to darkness.
Tax him squared.
they should issue a new law limiting the amount of protesters in any square to one person per 2 square meters (1x2)
Interesting, that space is the size that a grave occupies...
What's this about turkey for dinner? I wasn't paying attention Survivor is on. Oh wait...wait...wait.... commercial is over, you'll have to tell me later.
Banksters can't allow a 'market' that actually works to set the right valuation based on fundamentals for a change can they! Oh, NO, not THAT. Shock, horror, the mere thought of it will give them nightmares for months
Market volatility? You mean when they go down? Christ almighty. Who elected these pricks anyway?
Nah, this is the G8 / G20 playbook. 15 "anarchists" with Molotovs, lots of strangely inaccurate water cannons, and lots of State media. All the real protestors were gassed out while trying to make human chains around the plants; Bloomberg showing just what a dinosaur it is playing the Turkish State Offical Version.
Total Puppet show (and everyone knows it, the viral scene is going wild - Turkey has high net illiteracy, so you're seeing some old-school cartoon fun and interestingly enough, some recycling of Italian content + Penguins. If you don't know about the CNN Penguins, basically CNN has made itself an ideological pariah - GG USA Polsec #winningTigerBlood. It's that bad, protestors have been seen replacing the Anonymous Masks with Penguin Masks. 'Murica!). Only interesting thing is that this is might be clashing with NATO desires (since EU would probably prefer a non-Islamic Turkey).
This, on the other hand, might move the market a little:
After the latest NSA surveillance revelations a Russian MP has suggested to the government to immediately limit civil servants' access to the popular US internet services and social networks...
The politician told Izvestia daily that the instructions should be made part of the civil servants' contracts "so that they understood that by sending information through US services they not only fill up the dossiers on themselves and their organizations but can provide aid to a foreign state or organization that are engaged in anti-Russian activities". "This falls under article 275 of the Russian Criminal Code as this is high treason," he added.
Persons convicted under this article face up to 20 years in prison.[RT - Obviously Moscow propaganda 101, scoring points for this & hinting they'd accept Snowden. Name and Shame - Facebook. Yeah, I can see non-USA stock holders loving this]
Most businesses fortify their laptops / phones when traveling anyhow (or use cleaned ones, or encrypted blackberries - ever wondered about the attacks on RIM? Oh well), but this looks like a Tech Cold War. Dutch AIVD are allegedly admitting that SKYPE, Google etc handed over data with both direct requests or "activating assets" in the companies (Dutch) over Muslim extremists. So, basically, remind us all where State <> Corporate divisions are again?
Sigh. Nationalism / Spy Games for the 21st Century, with added Balkanization along everyone having their own national language State run controlled social media: so dull.
I gave you a plus, but this line was uncharacteristically out of place:
"(since EU would probably prefer a non-Islamic Turkey)"
The EU is totally fine with a Sunni Islamic Turkey, but wouldn't want Erdogan to go too far with the Sharia stuff ... just yet ....
I'm thinking the Khazarians have someone other than Erdogan (or Qdaffy, or Mubarak) in mind for Caliph.
Interesting excuse the Russians gave for limiting internet access, eh? "We're protecting you from the Americans"...LOL. I wonder who'll be next to pull that one.
AKP is neoliberal atm, but might pull an Iran if it gets too wild. State Nationalizations make Corporates edgy. Then again, look how fast the telecoms were in Eygpt / Libya to morph - fairly impressive they could duck the collusion with Dictators so quickly.
Problem with this PRISM / Verizon stuff (which everyone knew about anyhow) is that it shows businesses as not really separate from their Nation ties. It's a bold move, as it produces a quandary: what's going to cost them the most, lack of customers or attempting to block out NSA / China / Russia 3 letter agencies.
As long as we're assuming any of them are separate anymore, and not just playing it all like a FIFA Tournament. (Oh, and Sony just Crucified MS' Xbox One - never have I seen such a badly done launch / so crushing PR defeat; it might be a stick save for Japan tech markets, if I was a cynical thinker. The new console wars: Sony Wins! In the long run I suspect sales will even out, but gamers are mostly tribal, and a few will switch to peak the initial launch totals. Xbox (and US gaming companies) are basically discounting any informed parts of their markets in the name of $ parasitism; they're counting on captured / stupid consumers. I'm not even sure if the Xbox One is legal in certain parts of the EU (Germany in particular). There's a parable here somewhere).
"but might pull an Iran"
Again with the confusion between Sunni (led by an elected Caliph...very Khazarian, or Pharisee) and Shi'a (led by a hereditary Imam...very Persian, or non-Pharisee). Don't let me down again....
Not the version of Iran's government I was referencing, it was a '53 coup jab - military seems to have taken absolutely no action so far, which is counter everything every pundit said ever about how it works there. Seems the people can no longer count on big brother Ataturk even when they call his name.
But, ok, sorry: in future I'll keep it to Islamic types, strictly real politik reading. Self junk applied for the State Nationalizations joke misfire.
what did expect? the main stream media has shown to be a propaganda outlet.
The lower the budget of the people running the play book, the more obvious it is.
This is known as Brand Dilution, and either requires the Brand Leaders to crack down on its usage or have a new Product ready. ME are all using it (all our ones anyhow) which suggests a new Product Launch might be planned to offset this Brand decay.
At least we know the recordings will be backed up. :)
But not in AmeriKa. The only news I get is small business confidence is so far up it's having an orgasm.
Truly funny!!
I suppose that no one finds it convenient that Turkey was a supporter of the Syrian rebels and was taunting Syria with military jet incursions and now in a fitting twist of irony Turkey has its own internal rebellion to deal with.
Isn't this how world wars are started?
Yes! Though WWIII has been under way for some time now.
It looks like Russia is messing with American puppet, er i mean ally, Turkey like the US is messing with Syria and innumerable others. But that's OK - this is the ongoing Arab Spring. Summer gets hotter.
I don't think the Russians are pushing the secular rebellion (while they'll certainly support it).
New Stage, New Puppet Masters are afoot.
Live stream from Turkey
Turkey, Its whats for dinner.
Ever fucked a turkey?
Some wise man on ZH once said Europe will be in flames long before America so much as farts.
He was right. We Americans utilize the jury box, ballot box, and soap box... and if it comes to utilizing the ammunition box, there won't be any tear gas or water cannons because all manner of government enforcers and bureaucrats from the lowliest tyrant on the town council on up to the highest ranks of state and federal government will be swiftly shot dead in a firestorm of bullets the world has never seen.
What kind of fucking nonsense is this? After the Gov't down to the 'lowliest tyrant' at the local level, who is left?
There is no American People free of responsibility...unless you count the blacks in the ghetto or rednecks out in the trailers.
1.4 million security clearances...after you count the lawyers, the bankers, the politicians, the families of the politicians, the customer service people, the wardens and guards, the private security state people [...] WHO is left?
Wait? Aren't Turks Arabs?
And if so, aren't the protestors terrorists?
Global fascism, get over it.
Ah, the AKP went full retard. Just arrested 73 lawyers.
This is known as "the French Gambit".
erdogan hero of the mighty turk.
crusher of syrian and russian foes.
a giant of the bosphorus
leader of free men
lover and slayer of virgin hymen
erdogan and his friend king bibi the greatest brains in politics.
will crush all who come knockin
erdogan zionism forever.
the street scum must be crushed with tanks.
combine harvesters must be sent into the squares to hack
the children into pieces.
not wheat from the chaff
but head from neck
a new shopping mall is needed.
how dare the poor deny the rich shopping facilities.
syria will fall freedom will prevail.
free peeples of the world
go fight the street scum help erdogan in his hour of need.
support freedom to shop in newly built mall.
let us all pray for new imf rebuild loans for the turk and soon to be free
what a riot
As one pundit pointed-out tonight, if the polarized protesters meet ruling-party polarized supporters, on the streets, you could get a civil war brewing-up rather fast. The fact is the so-called leader could not be any more a polarising political figure, nor anymore a boofhead who is likely to actually touch-off such escalating civil and police clashes.
This situation is no joke.

Schaffer detours immigration forum to defense
By Leslie Jorgensen
COLORADO SPRINGS — A forum on immigration issues took an immediate detour when former Republican Congressman Bob Schaffer trampled Democratic Congressman Mark Udall's 10-year record on defense issues. Schaffer accused his U.S. Senate opponent of taking positions that showed disregard for both national defense and the economy in El Paso County, home to five military installations.
The two were participating in a panel discussion of immigration problems with fellow U.S. Senate candidates Robert Kinsey of the Green Party and Douglas Campbell of the American Constitution Party. It was the final presentation of the Aug. 16 "Towards a Spirituality of Justice: A Day on Immigration" conference sponsored by Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
"I serve on the House Armed Services Committee so I find myself spending a considerable amount of time here in this wonderful city," said Udall. "We have a broken (immigration) system. Our national security depends on getting it right. That starts with securing our borders."
"We have 12- to 15 million people here in an undocumented fashion," Udall continued. "They work in tourism, recreation and agriculture — all key industries of our economy. We need to expand legal channels to meet workers' needs in these industries… This is not a Democratic Party or Republican Party problem — it's an American challenge."
In his opening remarks, Schaffer said that he and Udall had been invited to participate in Lincoln-Douglas style debates in Colorado Springs, but the Democrat had declined.
"I'm willing to, and I'm the only one who is," Schaffer declared.
Making the most of this joint appearance, Schaffer sidestepped immigration issues to attack Udall's record on defense — to the delight of the Republican's supporters who obviously constituted more than half of the 300-person audience.
"Immigration issues really are, at the core, economic issues. Here in Colorado Springs, the core of the economy is the nation's defense," said Schaffer. "Fort Carson, for example, is the number two employer in the state. There is a huge difference between Congressman Udall and me when it comes to the nation's defense."
"In fact, I am the only one here who believes the nation's defense is our highest priority. He listed the nation's defense as the lowest spending priority," said Schaffer, alluding to Udall's responses to the Project Vote Smart National Awareness Test in 2000.
"Congressman Udall sponsored the Department of Peace bill with Congressman Dennis Kucinich — an $8 billion transfer from the Department of Defense to the Department of Peace which would have directly threatened the employment base right here in Colorado Springs," declared Schaffer.
Bills were introduced in 2001 and 2003 that sought to establish a department to promote diplomacy and peace. Funding for the department equated to 2 percent of the annual defense budget or roughly $8 billion. Udall withdrew his support in 2004 because, he said, it was an impractical to expand government.
"As recently as 2005, Congressman Udall voted against a $453 billion package in defense spending," asserted Schaffer, referring to the fiscal year 2006 Defense Appropriations Conference Report in December 2005.
"(Udall) voted against authorizing $289 billion in fiscal year 2000, including funds for the United States Air Force; $8.8 billion funding for military construction, much of which was dedicated for right here in El Paso County; and $4 billion in supplemental defense spending that included funds for military health care," said Schaffer. "I can go on and on."
"The reason the economy is growing in Colorado Springs, as well as it has, is because of the defense industry," said Schaffer, who insinuated that Udall's votes could have adversely affected the defense-based economy.
Udall briefly responded to Schaffer, but chose not to divert time from the immigration forum to counter the Republican's attacks. Behind the scenes the Democrat's campaign fired rapid response e-mails headed "Fact Check" to reporters. The e-mails clarified Udall's positions and votes, and hammered Schaffer.
"I know we're here to talk about immigration, but if Congressman Schaffer wants to talk about military policies, we should hold a different set of debates, and we will," he said. "We're holding six or seven debates."
That said, the four panelists refocused on immigration issues.
Immigration views
Kinsey noted that undocumented workers can't join labor unions to fight for fair wages and safe working conditions.
Udall said that undocumented people should become citizens, pay a fine and their back taxes. Those with criminal records should be jailed and deported.
Throughout the discussion, Schaffer claimed Udall supported amnesty.
"That is not amnesty," Udall retorted repeatedly.
Schaffer said that instead of offering amnesty to people who have broken the laws, the country should help those who already are pursuing the proper legal channels to citizenship.
Udall and Schaffer agreed that there should be cap on the number of documented guest workers. Schaffer suggested a quota based on the labor needs of each industry. They agreed that employers have a responsibility to hire documented workers, and Udall said that a "tamper proof ID system" must be developed and implemented.
Campbell said the escalating number of immigrants has caused a financial burden, making it impossible for government entities to keep up with infrastructure improvements. The problem, he said, would cure itself if "you eliminate welfare and make getting jobs more difficult. They won't keep hanging around."
Udall's fact check
"Bob Schaffer spent his entire introduction attacking Mark Udall, which is symbolic of how he has been conducting his campaign. But on top of that, he repeatedly distorted Mark Udall's record on national defense," wrote Udall's communications director Taylor West.
"Mark Udall has voted for more than $7 trillion in funding for defense, homeland security and our troops since 9/11," declared West, listing 63 roll call votes cast by Udall from 2001 to 2007.
Udall's campaign built a case for his support of national defense and members of the armed services. The list of 63 votes, however, didn't include those cited by Schaffer.
The Republican candidate distorted Udall's record by omission; however, the votes cited were correct. Schaffer's campaign e-mailed Congressional Record excerpts that reported Udall's votes on the specified bills.
Udall voted against H.R. 2863, the adoption of the conference report on the bill to appropriate $453.5 billion for 2006 defense spending. In June 2005, Udall spoke in favor of the bill. Six months later he changed his mind because it had been amended to open the Artic National Wildlife Reserve to oil and gas leasing.
In 2000, Udall voted against H.R. 4205 that authorized nearly $289 billion in defense funding. In a "Fact Check" e-mail, Udall's campaign responded that the congressman voted against the bill because the spending request was $4.5 million over President Bush's request — and that was before 9/11.
"The total amount of the spending bill amounted to more than half of government's total discretionary spending, and the bill would make our domestic priorities — like funding prescription drugs, expanding the EPA Superfund and helping local educational authorities — impossible," stated the campaign email.
Udall also voted against additional expenditures in 2000, including H.R. 4425 that included $8.8 billion in funding for military construction and an amendment to H.R. 3908 to increase the Department of Defense's appropriation by $4 billion and included $750 million for health care.
In defense of debates
After the forum, Udall campaign spokesperson Tara Trujillo said defense probably would be a topic at one of the dozen debates scheduled around the state prior to the Nov. 4 election. Udall won't have time to debate Schaffer in Colorado Springs, Trujillo said, because he'll be working in Washington and campaigning this fall.
"It's strange that a 10-year congressman won't debate. He's turned down everything," said Dick Wadhams, state GOP chair and Schaffer's campaign manager. "We're willing to have a debate at Colorado College, the most liberal campus in Colorado."
Spinning a list of rejections, Wadhams said Udall nixed appearances with Schaffer on "Meet the Press," "The Mike Rosen Show" on KOA, and "Caplis and Silverman" on KHOW.
Udall might have read recent posts on the Colorado Media Matters Web site, the online media watchdog group, which criticized the Denver radio show hosts for allowing guests to misrepresent Udall's energy positions and for being too cozy with Schaffer. Caplis even contributed $4,600 to Schaffer's campaign.
However, Colorado College is indeed a liberal oasis in the conservative bastion of Colorado Springs.

iTunes Removes Disturbing Plastic Surgery App, Restores Our Faith In Humanity
To its credit, iTunes agreed that "Plastic Surgery & Plastic Doctor & Plastic Hospital Office for Barbie version" (as the app was so fetchingly called) violated its guidelines, and has since removed the app, but only after 4,000 people retweeted Everyday Sexism's original tweet-slash-complaint.
What got the folks behind Everyday Sexism so irate? For starters, try the app's description: "This unfortunate girl has so much extra weight that no diet can help her. In our clinic, she can go through a surgery called liposuction that will make her slim and beautiful. We'll need to make small cuts on problem areas and suck out the extra fat. Will you operate her, doctor?" Yikes. That sounds more like the plot summary of a Japanese body mutilation film than an app for kids and tweens. And yet, it was aimed at children aged nine and above due to its "infrequent/mild realistic violence".
Some of the regrettable options offered by the app included the ability to make incisions into the avatar's skin to alter their appearance, or to give said avatar a local anesthetic before the incision is made. Thanks to the already impossible beauty standards set forth by a predominantly plastic Hollywood, children already put a lot of pressure on themselves to look a certain way, and plastic surgery is increasingly common among young people. Shame on iTunes for letting this slip by in the first place. As if the umpteenth iteration of Candy Crush wasn't bad enough. (The Gloss)

As part of Warner Brothers efforts to reduce its environmental footprint, the studio has been renting the world's largest "Mobile Solar Power System" for movies like DiCaprio's Inception and an upcoming Steve Carrell project.
Created by Pure Power Distribution, such a rig not only tracks the position of the sun for optimal efficiency, but also outputs 600 Amps/72,000 watts of "pure sine wave power with no noise, and no emissions". That's enough to keep about a ton of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere each day – along with the other 40 carcinogens found in diesel exhaust.
Apparently, it takes little more than a couple of minutes to have everything up and running once delivered to a set.
Kudos to Warner Bros for taking the initiative to use an alternative to the standard diesel generator. No doubt Pure Power would love to see some other studios get involved as well.

My daughter absolutely loves these and has worn nothing else since Christmas! She says they are supportive and even help her injured foot. She can wear tgem at swimming and also to and from ballet with her ballet shoes on as well. Will probably get some for the other kids and some food me too! Cheers. ... read more
My son loves these slides more than any other shoe. He's not fond of the Velcro type slides, so these suit him well. After losing one in a lake on vacation, I had a very broken hearted 9yr old on my hands, as "they had my footprints in them"...I promptly purchased another pair from Adidas, which was one of few sites that still carry this style. ... read more
These are very comfortable and stylish slides. The fit is very nice and snug, perfect size. The foam is very squishy and comfortable. I got a color that is not available on the website. It is an all white (very bright, I love bright shoes) with the stripes being black. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a comfortable yet stylish pair of slides. ... read more
My son has flat feet and it's always difficult to find summer shoes that have arch support. Well look no more if you are looking for a slide-on with an arch support. These slides are so comfy I am ordering some for myself and hubby. My son has no pain when wearing these. I am so happy I found them. Now I am praying Adidas continue to make these. ... read more
I bought these for my 7 year old son to wear to/from karate so he doesn't have to hassle with his shoes but he can still wear socks while it is cold. He loves them and wants to wear them all the time. ... read more
Bought these for my daughter to wear before and after her soccer games. She loves them, says they are very comfortable and likes the look. They arrived 2 days after placing the order. Very happy with this purchase! ... read more
My 11 year old sporty daughter begged for these for christmas to wear to basketball practice/games in the middle of winter. Loves the funky color. Wears a size 4-4.5, got the 5 that is touch a touch big to make it through the summer. Great service too. ... read more
Love, love, love these!! This is my first pair of the Adilight Superclouds. I purchased these to replace an old pair of Adidas Cushioned Slides that have seen their better days a long time ago. I am extremely happy with my purchase! Thanks Adidas!! ... read more
my 11 year old grandson was wanting some Adidas slides. he wasn't able to get the white ones in his size. then he saw the pink ones....he was so happy to receive these. he said these are great!!!! feel really good!!! ... read more
I had my last pair of adidas flip flops for 8 years. finally they broke and smelled. I had searched for the same kind but I do not think they make them anymore. the ones with the massage bumps bruised my feet for 2 days after wearing for one hour. so, i finally found these, and they are super comfortable and fit well. I wear a size 5.5, mine are size 4 and fit perfectly. you do need to try them on and make sure they fit before buying, as with most things. they do tend to smell funky though. but then again i wear mine all the time. ... read more
These slides are very comfortable and my daughter LOVES the bright blue color on the bottom. The adjustable strap is a wonderful feature and allows my daughter to customize the fit. Great quality at an affordable price! ... read more
Perfect shoe for my boys who would never wear any other type of flip flops or sandals. The sizing seems off as I had to reorder for both of my boys two sizes bigger than what they wear in a gym shoe. Overall, great looking shoe! ... read more
I purchased two pairs of the adilight Supercloud Slides for my boys this summer and they love it. They're very nice on the feet. Very confortable. One thing to keep in mind is the sizes. Before I purchased them I read the review on quality of product and sizes and they were mixed reviews on the sizes. So, I ordered one size up. But that didn't work. These sandals are very small. For example my boys are currently size 3 on shoes. However, I had to order 3 sizes more (size 6) in order to have them fit. They're just slightly big but that's OK. I had to return 2 pairs because I ordered 4 and then 5 and it was just too small. So when you order this kind of sandals, do yourself a favor. Order two sizes up your normal size and you should be OK. That's my experience. Everything else is great. Sandals, customer service. Price could be a little bit cheaper. ... read more
I got these for my almost 9yo son, these are our 2nd pair - he grew out of the previous ones. They're durable, light & very comfortable. I love that you can adjust them with the velcro. My son is very picky about his shoes & these make him happy! ... read more
I LOVED THEM AS SOON AS I OPENED THE BOX. SOFT AS A COTTON, VERY COMFORTABLE, LIGHT AS A FEATHER,PLUS ADJUSTABLE VELCRO TOP!!!!! ALL YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE FOR COMFORT OF YOUR KID'S FEET. THANK YOU, ADIDAS!!! ... read more
These fit my son just right just wish there was some room to grow. He is 11 and wears a size 5.5 sneaker. I ordered these in a size 5 but should have gone up a size. Nonetheless he loves them and looks forward to sliding them on after a busy day or after sports practice. I know I will be buying these again. ... read more
Recently while in Orlando, I purchased 5 pair of Adidas Slides for my grand kids, big and small. They fit well because the strap can easily be loosened or tightened to make them comfortable. They come in different colors, white, pink and black, and black. The older girls love their colored ones and the boys their black. The bed of the sandals message the feet, which the big kids, in particular, love. ... read more
.... not and as comfy as the slides they use to make with the gel soles....my kids loved those! Also the sizing was way off- had to go two sizes bigger for my daughter... she's usually a size 1 and we had to go up to a size 3. Overall she's happy. ... read more
These shoes are great! My daughter is on the swim team and in need of a sturdy yet light weight and comfy pair of flip-flops. These DEF are the trick!

If the fork is already threaded and you need to extend the threads and then cut off the excess steerer tube, thats pretty easy. A little elbow grease and patience.
If the the steerer tube is not threaded at all, then you are bordering on a technique that requires rocket surgery. Very difficult to start the die square on the steerer tube. Although I can't remember seeing a 1 inch fork that wasn't threaded.

well, it's still possible to thread the fork though right?
The material in the steer tube is thinner (weaker) than that of a threaded one. It can be done, but it's not advisable.
Why would you want to? Threadless is the superior system.Originally Posted by jchou701

Unless the steerer tube is too short why bother though a super cheap stem and headset will perform better then whatever threaded stuff you have and you can always sell them.
If this is something you really want to do, take the fork to a reputable frame builder and get them to cut off the current steerer near the crown, and then sleeve a new threaded steerer onto it. This is the best (and probably the only) way to do this safely.
You could also just get a nice, classic looking Salsa stem and not worry about it.
Have you checked to see if a 22.2mm (1") quill stem will tighten up properly inside the steerer tube? The inside diameter of threadless steerers are rarely consistant. It would suck to have it threaded only to find out it's not usable.Originally Posted by jchou701

I might be being totally ignorant as I have never actually played around with threadless setups, but if a quill will grip the inside of the steerer, is there any reason you can't just cut the tube at the top of the headset and use the stem as if it was a threaded system? Provided you're happy with never being able to use it threadless...Originally Posted by Svr

What are you talking about?Originally Posted by Rattlebag
I wondered this after looking at http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2007...asonThomas.htm
I am currently building a CrossCheck so this caught my eye - at the FGG pic the fork seems threaded - and looks like a original Surly fork. Because 1 1/8" threaded headsets are quite rare I´d think that either
a) Older Surlys had 1" steerer tube and threaded forks?
b) Someone had threads cut in the original Surly fork and found a suitable headset (could it be 1 1/8" ?)
cool bike, nonetheless. My kind
I got nothing to do
you got nothing to say
everything is so ****ed up
I guess it's natural that way
I did this before. It's still running fine. If you want to thread it, any good bike shop should have a die for threading a fork, if you really want to, see if you can borrow it (it isn't exactly a commonly used tool. In Australia this may be a little easier.....) and use a file (or optimally a lathe) to bevel the top of the fork. There is a green, thick cutting compound which smells like capers (no ****) which can make this infiniteley easier. Then just thread it on until it bites, go 1/2 turn, 1/4 turn back, then 3/4 turn, 1/4 turn back etc. etc.
Of course if the steerer wall is too thin then you will have big problems with bulging when you tighten your stem's centre bolt, not to mention cracking and bending.
EDIT: Ah, its Trefolex I'm thinkin of.
I had a problem once building up a large frame bike. Could not find a suitable 1" threaded fork with a long enough steering tube. I was able to find NOS 1" unthreaded with hugely long steerers. (I think there was a brief transition stage from threaded to unthreaded that used 1".) So all I had to do was get it threaded. I was advised that it is difficult to start the threads out square, so I should ask lots of questions before paying someone to do it.
I did ask lots of questions. A couple of bike places said they could do it, but did not inspire much confidence. One place though seemed to have done it before and seemed to know what they were doing. I paid them a small amount (maybe $15?) to do it. Worked great. Still use that bike today and have not had one problem.
A previous poster mentioned that unthreaded forks might not all have the same (usable) inside diameter. I cannot speak to this except to say it was not an issue on the fork I used.

Italian Dorando Pietri put on such a courageous display finishing the Olympic Marathon in London in 1908 that, although he was disqualified for receiving assistance by the umpires, he won the hearts of the public at large and wrote his name in Olympic history.
Iconic Olympic moments: Dorando Pietri steps into history
No other Olympic event is so imbued with such symbolism and mythology as the Marathon. The legend goes that Pheidippides was dispatched from the battlefield of Marathon to bring to Athens the news that the Persians had been defeated at the Battle of Marathon. Pheidippides ran the entire journey without stopping whereupon arriving at his destination he exclaimed the victory, keeled over and died of exhaustion.
In 1908, the Marathon was a haphazardly organised event. Organisers of the earliest Olympics were looking for an event that could promote the Olympic ideal and to popularise the event while recalling the glory of ancient Greece. The Marathon, despite some teething problems including the1900 Paris Olympic Marathon route not being clearly marked out which resulted in competitors seen running all over the city looking confused, it is the Marathon of 1908 and the performance of Dorando Pietri that galvanised the event and sparked 'Marathon Mania' all over the world.
Pietri name is forever etched in the history of the event, which now is traditionally the last Athletic event on the Olympic calendar and finishes inside the stadium. On the 24th July 1908 over 100, 000 people crammed into the White City stadium to witness the end to the Marathon, while estimates put the number of spectators along the route at over a million.
They weren't disappointed as they witnessed tat day an overwhelming display of personal courage and the will to win. Pietri Dorando was a 22-year-old pastry chef from Correggio in the Provence of Reggio Emilia and it was he who was the first runner to enter the stadium. The crowd noise that greeted him seemed to send him stumbling backwards and he then proceeded to stumble exhausted along the track toward the finish line.
He fell five times on the track and each time he was helped up by the umpires. Their act of kindness was ill-fated however as they effectively lost him the race. One of the umpires who came to his aid later wrote of it.
"As Dorando reached the track he staggered and after a few yards fell. I kept would-be helpers at bay, but Dr Bulger went to his assistance. I warned him that this would entail disqualification, but he replied that although I was in charge of the race, I must obey him. Each time Dorando fell I had to hold his legs while the doctor massaged him to keep his heart beating. Each time he arose we kept our arms in position behind (not touching him) to prevent him falling on his head, and as he reached the tape he fell back on our arms."
Eventually it was the umpires who pushed him over the line just as Irish-American runner Johnny Hayes approached the line. The crowd were ecstatic and although Pietri was disqualified, he had won the hearts of all and was catapulted to overnight international stardom.
The next day the New York Times wrote, "It would be no exaggeration, to say that the finish of the marathon at the 1908 Olympics in London was the most thrilling athletic event that has occurred since that Marathon race in ancient Greece. While illustrious writer and author of the Sherlock Holmes series was covering the race for the Daily Mail wrote, "It is horrible, and yet fascinating, this struggle between a set purpose and an utterly exhausted frame. Amid stooping figures and grasping hands I caught a glimpse of the haggard, yellow face, the glazed, expressionless eyes, the long, black hair streaked across the bow. Surely he is done now. He cannot rise again."
Pietri continued to race until 1911 accumulating enough wealth to allow him to retire. He invested his earnings in a hotel he opened with his brother. However, the hotel went bankrupt and he moved to Sanremo, where he lived until his death, of a heart attack, at the age of 56.
"Though it's true that I lost the race I won in fame, and started along a road that has taken me a very long way," Dorando wrote. "My current life is so happy that the race seems to me like divine providence."

As I was shopping with my son and niece, both 3-year-olds became unruly. So I stopped them and explained the meaning of cooperation. Staring into their innocent faces, I asked, "What do I need right now?" My son looked up at me and shouted, "Patience!"
He was absolutely right. Though I thought my greatest need was cooperation, I was overlooking the obvious: I needed patience.
My husband, Brian, and I have seen this same principle in marriage. We have often thought that the missing element between us was cooperation when really it was patience. Cooperation demands my spouse's participation. Patience asks only for mine. Patience is prolonged grace — waiting with expectation for God to work. This allows God the time to work in me, in my spouse and in my marriage.
As a pastor ministering to couples, Brian has found that most breakdowns in communication occur because each party is preoccupied with their spouse's failures. Each partner is ignoring his or her own need for patience.
"Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" (James 1:4, NKJV). Patience is more than what I exhibit; it's a trait I need to internalize.
Patience does not come easily to Brian or me. Our differences can often be a source of irritation for both of us. I walk fast. He strolls. I'm always early. He likes to arrive just in time. Brian catches on to technology quickly. But when I want a new app, I ask him to download it for me. Just as Brian gets frustrated with my ineptitude to learn a new technology, I disagree with his definition of timeliness.
Through 32 years of marriage, we have learned that frustration, differences and disagreements are some of the best opportunities for patience to grow in marriage. The more our patience has been needed — and exercised — the stronger it's grown.

I am starting in Bangkok and traveling SEA for 4 months. Getting out of corp america and taking a break!
I am looking for a nice place to stay in Bangkok for a few nights that is in a good location, safe (single female) but easy to get around to see the sights. I am flexible on timing and budget.
Any suggestions welcome... plan to head up to Chiang Mai and play it by ear but definately hit the islands and see some elephants

"good location" depends on your definition of that. Assuming you are just interested in the tourist related stuff ("see the sights") then I would think Chinatown would work for you. A friend of mine likes the Grand China Hotel there. You can get a room for about 50 bucks a night.

I would stay near a skytrain or metro line - The area around Asoke/Sukhumvit
is one of my favs. http://www.travelfish.org/accommodation/thailand/bangkok_and_surrounds/bangkok/sukhumvit/all
Staying in Chinatown is not a bad idea and you're not so far from the train station, but vey little in but keep un mind that the train tracks to Chiang Mai are in repair for the next 45 days so if you were considering the night train you'll have to switch to a bus at one point. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/transport/369698/rail-service-from-uttaradit-to-chiang-mai-to-end-monday

You really need to state your budget - makes a BIG difference. I really like to be near the river and prefer the smaller hotels or B&B's. I think you might like the Baan Dinso Boutique Hostel - not your usual hostel at all, this is mostly private rooms, but does have some without private bath. Have a look here - in the Old City near KSR and Chinatown.

Thanks for the great suggestions all!
To clarify a couple comments:
By good location I mean easy to get around or to the train. A view would be great and as for budget, I have not problem paying upwards of $200 US which sounds like a ton in Thailand and not sure what "nice" is for $50/night. Bottom line, I am open to anything that is nice, convenient and will be able to meet other travelers. I like the idea hostel as a way to be with other solo travelers and the Baan Dinso Boutique Hostel looks really nice and your right, not my idea of a typical hostel but looks great. (Nice find daawgon)
Since I am traveling solo going to play it by ear when I get there as to my exact next destination I think being around other travelers/backpackers is attractive. The thought of a nice hotel with a pool, spa and gym sounds nice too but not sure where travelers stay for something like that are not traveling for business.
I have been looking at so many places to go and really want to speak to others before making set plans.
From what I've read, flexibility is key and I am not any schedule (which is the point!)
Thanks for the train tip up to CM also.. may have to fly if not up and running by the time I get there but I may luck out since I arrive Oct. 29th.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Members of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, and other state lawmakers, vowed to fight for Clayton County's C-TRAN bus service during a public hearing at the state Capitol on Wednesday.Members of the House and Senate heard from key constituent groups who would be impacted by the loss of C-TRAN and discussed regional and state funding solutions. More than 100 people squeezed into Room 230 of the Capitol building, including representatives of Clayton County's cities, business community, and educational institutions. All addressed the caucus with the same message that ending C-TRAN would have a devastating impact on area businesses and residents. In October, all members of the Clayton County Board of Commissioners, with the exception of Chairman Eldrin Bell, voted in favor of ending C-TRAN service as of March 31, due to funding concerns. During Wednesday's public hearing, Riverdale Mayor Evelyn Wynn-Dixon said the news has worried citizens and put the city's economic development at risk. "I had numerous calls from individuals, especially those on dialysis," Wynn-Dixon said. "That is the lifeline that they need in order to sustain their life. When you go up and down [Ga.] Highway 85, you see tons of people at the bus stop with their groceries. Looking at it from an economic perspective ... this creates jobs. They might not all be white-collar jobs, but money is money." Clayton County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Yulonda Beauford said that while some have expressed that C-TRAN is linked to crime and low property values, those sentiments have not been expressed by the business community. She said the loss of C-TRAN would "affect our businesses tremendously." "We receive several calls of concern ... calls from our largest employers, such as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta [International] Airport and our smallest businesses, concerned about the sustainability of their businesses and not having adequate transportation in our community," Beauford said. "We know there needs to be a long-term funding solution ... but a complete loss of C-TRAN will be a devastation on our businesses and the community." Kay Ingram, director of the Clayton County campus of the ITT Technical Institute, told members of the Legislative Black Caucus that the majority of her school's students use C-TRAN to attend school and that the institute would consider moving if C-TRAN is eliminated. Clayton State University President Tim Hynes said that, in a survey of more than 5,500 students out of its population of 6,700 students, 11.2 percent rely on C-TRAN to attend classes. Caucus member, state Rep. Billy Mitchell (D-Stone Mountain), said that part of C-TRAN's problem is a lack of state funding. He said that Georgia is the only state in the country that "doesn't have a line item for public transit" in its budget and that it is "going to take an outcry" from citizens to find a funding solution for C-TRAN that is not a "temporary fix." "Often times, we look at the face of public transportation and we just think that it's just a certain class of consumer, but the fact of the matter is that if we don't do something about public transportation now, 10 years from now when businesses leave, 10 years from now when education opportunities aren't what they ought to be, we will look back at this day and say we should have done something," Mitchell said. "We have to join the rest of the nation and fund public transit." State Sen. Doug Stoner (D-Smyrna), a former member of the Cobb County transit board, said that Clayton County, like Cobb, is one of the original "MARTA counties," in which the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority was designed to operate. He said that if Clayton County is able to call a referendum to remove its 7 percent sales tax cap, it would be in the power of the General Assembly to pull Clayton into the MARTA service region with a 1-cent sales tax contribution. "We have it in our ability as a legislature, if so desired, to add to a transportation bill, the ability to call for a referendum in a particular MARTA county," Stoner said. "Currently, it is written as the county commissioners [needing to call for a referendum], but it is not beyond our abilities as legislators to add that [to a bill] and put that out as a referendum for a specific MARTA county. It would be a change in the MARTA Act." Stoner said the governor may soon introduce legislation to support state funding for public transportation, and that funding for C-TRAN may be added to the bill. However, he said the earliest any referendums pertaining to MARTA or C-TRAN could take place would be in September months after C-TRAN is scheduled to shut down. Bell, who was the only Clayton County commissioner seen at Wednesday's hearing, said he is willing to challenge the board's decision on C-TRAN on a legal basis. He said that on July 18, 2000, the county passed a referendum to create C-TRAN and that he would challenge any attempt to end C-TRAN without another referendum. "While all these other bus systems are trying to fill their buses ... our buses are overflowing," Bell said. "We should continue and expand the service. We have already voted on this and gave us options to fund it. Money is not the issue ... those on the board refuse to give more what you have asked us to do. "I've talked to lawyers about this. If there is an implication, I will sue my own board to get this done," he added. "Some people say this service brought all of these Section 8 people here. These people have the right to have some place to live. I welcome them here, as long as they behave." Legislative Black Caucus Chairman state Sen. Emanuel Jones (D-Decatur) said that while state funding options remain far off, the Clayton County Board of Commissioners still has the ability to continue C-TRAN. He encouraged members of the community to make a statement to the board during its next regular meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 16. "This is an issue that affects Georgia," Jones said. "There are some that say the hour is too late. Anything the commission can do, they can undo. We are going to ask them to reconsider their actions."

Kiteboarding News
- 01 July 2009 | Kiteboarding
Last weekend the Ozone Race Team competed in, without a doubt, the toughest kiteboarding race that the sport has to offer.
The weekend of June 27-28 offered up some of the most challenging conditions that kiters have seen in this race ever.
Attached is a history of The Classic and for the last 11 years, the UltraNectar challenge has been added to the mix as a split time race.
When the competitor crosses the finish line after the grueling Classic, their time is taken and they are immediately in a split time race back up wind from Berkeley to the city front, The UltraNectar Challenge.
This year was especially challenging as the wind blew over 30 mph over much of the course and there was a 3.27 knot flood going against the competitors as they tried to sail back up wind to the city front.
This race always generates memorable individual experiences, stories, epiphany's and Team Ozone definitely had each of their own.

Airline baggage allowances are tight and getting tighter, but there's not much value for you in spending $3K on an airfare and arriving with only 10kg of kites to fly. Paying for the excess isn't a solution either; just 10kg overweight can cost as much as another airfare. How then to take as many kites as possible without breaking the bank?
The first answer is that kite fliers who aren't yet doing so should learn to live out of their carry-on bag (typically 7kg). It's easy, here's the male version but there is a female equivalent: wear a jersey, jacket and other heavy items such as presentable shoes and trou.
Pack five shirts, five pairs of unders, a pair of rough trou for on-the-field, and Crocs for kite flying.With toothbrush, razor and one big cake of soap, this leaves 3kg out of the original 7kg for an extra pilot kite or two.

For windsurfers and kiteboarders, Fuerteventura is the Hawaii of Europe. As well as white sand beaches, blue skies and summer temperatures, the island also has all the wind a windsurfer or kiteboarder could wish for.
The wind-powered acrobats fly distances of up to 70 metres, reaching heights of up to 15 metres. From 17th July to 1st August 2009, windsurfing and kiteboarding world championship events will be held on Fuerteventura.
The windsurfing programme includes slalom and freestyle disciplines. The kiteboarders will compete in the freestyle discipline and there also will be a kiteloop competition.
Slalom is the Formula 1 of windsurfing. The event consists of a high-speed race around a course marked by buoys, with tense tussles for position and spectacular overtaking manoeuvres. Both windsurfers and kiteboarders will compete in freestyle events in which a jury of judges awards points for spectacular leaps and breathtaking manoeuvres.
With no exhaust fumes or engine noise, the competition for world championship points shows just how congenial and in harmony with nature top level sport can be. Once they're out on the water, the competitors really give it some juice – using the latest equipment, they utilise the wind so effectively that they can accelerate faster than the fastest sports car.
The competitions are held at a spectator and camera-friendly proximity to the beach. Direct contact between competitors and spectators is encouraged. The extreme sportsmen and women are more than happy to have spectators looking over their shoulders whilst preparing for the off.

EL PASO, Texas – The owner of a local massage parlor was arrested Wednesday by special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and charged with recruiting prostitutes for her business.
In Soon Kim, 60, owner of Kyoto Hot Stone Spa located in the 600 block of North Virginia Street, remains in federal custody. She is officially charged with "coercion and enticement to transport illegal sexual activity."
According to court documents, HSI special agents found unwrapped condoms concealed in several places inside the business, which is consistent with prostitution.
On Oct. 17, while special agents were executing a federal search warrant, they encountered a woman outside the massage parlor who said she was recruited to work there. An arrest affidavit reads that the woman understood she would perform sex acts and engage in sexual intercourse with customers, and that her uniform would be a tight-fitting short dress. She also stated she flew to El Paso from California to work at Kim's massage parlor.
Court documents also show that Kim told HSI special agents that among the services offered at her massage parlor were table massages, chair massages, and table showers. Kim said she charged customers up front, and her employees received monetary tips from customers.
Kim also said the women who worked in her business were Korean, and not U.S. citizens.
Kim had her initial appearance in federal court Thursday. She is set to have her preliminary and detention hearing Oct. 23. If convicted, Kim faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
HSI special agents assigned to HSI El Paso's Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST) are investigating this case.
BEST is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ICE-led initiative that operates along the U.S.-Mexico border. The El Paso BEST is one of 32 BEST units located around the United States and Mexico. HSI is charged with enforcing a wide array of immigration and customs laws, including those related to securing the border and combating criminal smuggling.
BEST members are collocated so that they can effectively share information among their partner agencies. Close coordination among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies helps to identify and eliminate cross-border criminal organizations, and the infrastructures that sustain them.

Symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath are early warning signs of a heart attack. Shockingly, two-thirds of men say they would not see a healthcare professional if these symptoms arose. They're likely part of the seven million American men who have not been to a physician's appointment in 10 years or more.
In honor of Men's Health Month, do yourself a favor: consult with a physician next time you have unusual symptoms. Nearly half of all premature deaths among men are preventable. More information from Georgetown University School of Nursing on how to prevent common men's health issues below:

Age Control Peel
As the skin matures, its ability to regenerate slows down and degeneration begins to occur. The Kaya Age Control Peel helps you fight against the process of skin degeneration.
Our expert in-clinic dermatologist will recommend the peel best suited for your skin. This unique peel uses two very effective anti-ageing ingredients – Citric acid and Glycolic solution, which exfoliate and regenerate skin. A peel neutralizer is used to ensure maximum results. And a sunscreen is applied to provide complete protection to your skin.
Kaya's Age Control Peel reduces fine lines, enhances your skin's radiance and gives you fresh, young and lustrous complexion in just 6 sittings.
It is important to go in for maintenance sessions to enjoy the results for a longer time. The dermatologist will suggest the frequency of the maintenance sessions as per your individual requirement
- What do you mean by age control? Skin being an exposed part of our body, often tends to age faster than our real age. This service can help you control that by peeling back the years.
- What body parts does the peel cover? Kaya Age Control peel focuses on the face.
- Are there any side effects of the peel? It is an absolutely safe service. In order to ensure the safety of your skin, Kaya Dermatologists would perform a peel sensitivity test on your skin prior to the service. However there would be mild redness of the skin following the service, which usually subsides in a few hours. You are advised to use a sunscreen as well as restrict sun exposure following the service.
- Can I take the- Age Control peel? Yes, you can take the Age Control peel provided that your peel sensitivity check is normal. Our in-clinic dermatologist will meet you before the peel to check your skin's ability to undergo the peel based on the above, or any other relevant contraindications.

iOS 7 for iPhone 4s
I have the iPhone 4s, and the iOS 7 just became available on my phone. It needs 2.9 GB of space, does that mean just for the download and you will get it back or it is gone for good?
What other things does it do? Do you like it? Is it worth it?
I have the ios7 on my iPad.. It looks like kids designed it! Not sure about storage. I don't remember seeing anything like that.
But once you update to iOS you will need to update apps like Facebook too.. Pain! I left mine to go overnight
I haven't updated my 4S yet. I saw a screenshot of someone else's phones and I didn't like the icons - they also had commented on how it looked like a child designed it. I've also heard that there are security issues with the iOS 7 but I haven't researched that at all...it could be and likely is a rumour. So...I'm putting off updating it, which I really should do as I haven't updated it since I got it almost two years ago!
I made the mistake of updating to IOS7 on my iphone 4,bad idea! It eats up my battery life like crazy,is very slow and glitchy,looks like a child designed it,the Instagram screen is now way too big for the phone,it sometimes won't let me text,and the list of problems go on and on..And it's not just me,I've heard of quite a number of people experiencing the same problems with it.I find it extremely frustrating.
If you turn off the background app refresh it doesn't eat your battery.
Posted via Mobile Device
Did that already,and it's still eating it up.I've gone through and shut off everything but the essentials..It helped some,but it's nowhere near what it was before the upgrade.
Keeping your brightness down helps save battery too.
I dunno, I have the 5 and it's not eating my battery after turning off the background refresh.
Posted via Mobile Device
I'm purposely not downloading it because I'm not hearing good things about it!
Turned my brightness down too.. :)
It is odd how some people are having no issues what so ever with it,and others are having nothing but problems.Hopefully it's just some glitches that they'll get ironed out soon..
My wife did here and the ONLY thing I like about it is it time stamps your pictures and kind of organizes them from videos. At least it looked like it to me. Everything else from what I saw sucked. I will not be getting it for mine.

Rostraver woman living the sweet life in the Valley
MONESSEN - The flowers at Monessen Florist bloom and smell as sweet as those found anywhere else.
But even the amazement of the shop's flowers sometimes take a back seat to the charisma of Christina Tomich.
Tomich, 46, of Rostraver Township, is as bubbly and vivacious as any flower in full bloom.
"She's a breath of fresh air around here," said shop owner Loren Carroto.
Tomich has worked at Monessen Florist for more than 1 1⁄2 years, having come to the business after working as director of sales at The Willow Room in Rostraver Township.
"I got to know Loren while at the Willow Room and we really hit it off, so when I left there this place seemed like a natural for me," said Tomich.
"I really love it here. There is such a family atmosphere and I thrive in that because family has always been so important in my life."
Tomich works in sales at the flower shop and when asked if she helps with the floral arrangements, she laughed and said, "Oh, heavens no. I don't do that."
What she does do is contribute to the shop's morale with her effervescent personality.
"I just like being happy," she said. "Life is good. It's just how I choose to be. Why be miserable?
"Ask my kids. They will tell you I am way too happy in the morning."
Tomich and her husband of 26 years, Mark, have three children: Jillian, 21, and Stephanie, 20, both students at the University of Pittsburgh, and Mark, 18, a senior at Belle Vernon Area.
Stephanie Tomich is a cheerleader at Pitt while the younger Mark is a track and soccer standout for the Leps.
"I love doing things with my children," she said. "Anything family-oriented I am for. I attend every sporting event and that has kept me running everywhere. We recently took the kids on vacation to Punta Cana. That was a lot of fun."
As for her husband, whom she described as her "junior high sweetheart," she said with a laugh. "We've been married for 26 years I still love him. Figure that out."
Tomich says she loves living in the Mid-Mon Valley and would rather be no place else.
In fact, she says, there is one aspect about her that most people may not know.
"I was born in Indianapolis and didn't move to the area until I was five," she said. "I've been here ever since. Most everyone thinks I was born and raised here, but I wasn't."
Anything else about her that people may not realize?
"Yes," she gushed. "I was one of the first girls to be allowed to play baseball in the Rostraver Little League."

Negotiations between the Palm Drive Hospital board and a nonprofit foundation seeking to reopen the closed Sebastopol facility have broken down, according to hospital officials.
Sandra Bodley, a hospital board member involved in the negotiations, said Saturday that the proposals put forward by the foundation had continued "serious flaws in governance in the clinical model, and in their financials."
Bodley said the foundation sought last week a premature legally binding agreement between the board and the foundation over a proposal that was not yet ready.
But Gail Thomas, a key negotiator for the foundation, said her group sought only a "commitment" that the board would work with the foundation to quickly reopen the hospital, which officially closed Monday.
"We wanted the district to restate that they want to reopen the hospital," Thomas said. "So as far as I'm concerned, the talks are not off. We are trying very hard to get them to come back to the table."
Hospital officials say they were forced to close the hospital because of years of financial struggle brought on by declining health insurance payments and a dwindling inpatient volume.
The hospital board said it will hold a series of public forums this summer to survey west county residents regarding the kinds of medical services they want.
Bodley said the foundation's proposal should become part of the public forum process.
"I think the next step is to proceed with our community forum meetings and have the foundation included in those meetings," she said. "I think we will get a broader perspective and hopefully some solid suggestions for re-emerging with health services that will be utilized by our west county community."
Thomas accused the hospital board of failing to negotiate in good faith.

|The influence of selection for vulnerability to angling on foraging ecology in largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21967587 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Several traits related to foraging behaviour were assessed in young-of-the-year produced from largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides that had been exposed to four generations of artificial selection for vulnerability to angling. As recreational angling may target foraging ability, this study tested the hypothesis that selection for vulnerability to angling would affect behaviours associated with foraging ecology and prey capture success. Fish selected for low vulnerability to angling captured more prey and attempted more captures than high vulnerability fish. The higher capture attempts, however, ultimately resulted in a lower capture success for low vulnerability fish. Low vulnerability fish also had higher prey rejection rates, marginally shorter reactive distance and were more efficient at converting prey consumed into growth than their high vulnerability counterparts. Selection due to recreational fishing has the potential to affect many aspects of the foraging ecology of the targeted population and highlights the importance of understanding evolutionary effects and how these need to be considered when managing populations.

First try of Maker's Mark. I find it completely inoffensive, but also not very interesting. I thought I would start sampling some wheaters, but this wasn't an auspicious beginning. Maybe my wife will enjoy it!
Having some FRSB OBSO from the gift shop.
Sure would like a tasting report on that & the OESO, for some reason I feel one of those may just be my ticket.
My one monthly pour of WSR7 from 1989. I have a suspicion I'll never have see another one of these bottles.
Maui, that OESO is very good. These are my first bottles of the O yeast and I am very impressed! The other day, the OBSO was my favorite, but today the OESO is really hitting the spot. Very good balance of spice from the rye and the fruit of the O yeast, crazy good! May have to make a third trip to the gift shop to stock up, I really love field trips!
I preferred the OESO over the OBSO as I feel the higher rye content masks some of the delicacy of the O yeast...that is the beauty IMO of it. Tonight I'm pouring some 11yr 10mo OESK from the gift shop...yummy stuff!
You can find me in chat most nights on days ending with the letter y!
I also like the fact re these bottles that the low rye recipe OESO has a little extra age and vice versa on the OBSO.
SB blend followed by RHF. Enjoyed both.
