Could these vineyards be some of the oldest in the world? On the same latitude as Chablis, Tokaji experiences a much warmer climate because of its central European location and the sheltering Carpathian Mountains to the north, west and east. This, together with the influence of the Tisza and Bodrog rivers, produces the magic combination of humid nights and warm, fine autumns which result in such fantastic sweet wines from botrytis grapes, similar to Sauternes.
Patricius is very much the new kid on the block, bursting onto the scene in 2005 with a succession of medals, awards and rapturous endorsement. Deszö Kékessy was a Hungarian exile during Communism, who returned to his beloved Tokaji having established a successful business in Switzerland. Little by little he has acquired 150 hectares of the very best vineyards, built a fabulous new winery and employed top winemaker Péter Molnár. Deszö's daughter and son-in-law run what he has established as a true legacy for his family. The attention to detail is breathtaking: re-planting and even re-orienting rows of vines where necessary, and upholding a standard of perfection in both vine-growing and winemaking which is evident in the quality of the wines, which display exquisite elegance and class, with a fine tension between complex fruit and honey flavours, minerality and rapier-like acidity

I ran out of gas and thought I fryed the fuel pump but after droping the tank the fuel pump works when hooked up direct. I have swaped relay's but still can not get power to run back to the pump

You better not have voltage to the pump unless you're cranking the engine. If you do, you'd have a fire hazard in the event of a crash that ruptured a fuel line. You should only have voltage to the pump during engine rotation, (cranking or running). The easiest way to determine that is to measure the voltage at the coil pack, any injector, or either small wire on the back of the alternator. That's usually the dark green / orange wire.
Thank you for your reply. Your right something I missed is that it should come one only for 4-5 seconds after turning the key.I got someone to help me, turn the key wile I use test light and it is putting power back. But I know for sure the pump wasn't coming on before I dropped the tank. Is it possible dirt would have clogged the pump or filter? It works perfect after I had it out

Unlike many posters on sites like this I'm sure, I don't have an Apple tattoo, don't live in my Mom's basement, and don't sit back and enjoy being spoon-fed the way I should feel about technology as it pertains to my ability to earn a living. I was an Apple geek in 1992. I owned (and still do) a Mac clone when Apple almost went away. I am certain I am a small fish in the pond with my Apple credentials, but I am a certified FCP7 trainer and am part of a very relevant reseller. I have every right to be disillusioned with Apple going in the direction of greatest opportunity for revenue. It makes the most business sense. However, I don't think it's the only way, and AGAIN, comes at the expense of the very large (yet comparatively irrelevant) group that kept them in business in the 90s.

An overview of event-driven BPM
Since organisations first began to utilise IT to support their business activities in the 1960s they have been capturing and storing representations of things that happen in the real world - in other words, events. The nature of event processing has changed fundamentally in the intervening period, of course. Growth in online commerce, increasing levels of "front office" IT automation, and increasing levels of integration between systems has created IT environments where real-world events are very often captured electronically as they occur. Today, organisations are taking advantage of the "real time" availability of electronic events, and using event processing technology to both improve operational business efficiency, and drive business optimisation - instrumenting and analysing business activity to drive decisions radically more transparently and efficiently. This report is the first in a series of two examining the concept of event-driven BPM. It provides an initial overview of what's behind the event processing hype, and explains why it's a no-brainer to combine concepts associated with event processing and BPM to make BPM event-driven.
key messages
- Event processing is coming of age, and organisations are using the technology to drive incremental business value
- Making BPM event-driven should be a no-brainer
- Examine the technology you have in play already and analyse your requirements closely before investing in specialised event processing technology.

Expression and activation of toll-like receptor 3 and toll-like receptor 4 on human corneal epithelial and conjunctival fibroblasts

Journal of Inflammation 2014, 11:3 doi:10.1186/1476-9255-11-3Published: 4 February 2014
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are recognized as important contributors to the initiation and modulation of the inflammatory response in the eye. This study investigated the precise expression patterns and functionality of TLRs in human corneal epithelial cells (HCE) and in conjunctival fibroblasts (HCF).
The cell surface expression of TLRs 2-4, TLR7 and TLR9 in HCE and HCF was examined by flow cytometry with or without stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C). The mRNA expression of the TLRs was determined by real-time PCR. The protein content levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were measured in HCE and HCF using multiplex fluorescent bead immunoassay (FBI).
The surface expression of TLR3 and TLR4 was detected on both HCE and HCF. Following incubation with LPS, the percentage of HCE cells staining for TLR4 decreased from 10.18% to 0.62% (P < 0.001). Incubation with poly I:C lowered the percentage of HCE cells positive for TLR3 from 10.44% to 2.84% (P < 0.001). The mRNA expression of TLRs2, 4, 7 and 9 was detected in HCE only. Activation of HCE with LPS complex elicited protein secretion up to 4.51 ± 0.85-fold higher levels of IL-6 (P < 0.05), 2.5 ± 0.36-fold IL-8 (P > 0.05), 4.35 ± 1.12-fold IL-1β (P > 0.05) and 29.35 ± 2.3-fold TNFα (P < 0.05) compared to cells incubated in medium.
HCF and HCE both express TLRs that respond to specific ligands by increasing cytokine expression. Following activation, the surface expression of TLR3 and TLR4 on HCE is decreased, thus creating a negative feedback loop, mitigating the effect of TLR activation.

If you travel to France and meander your way through the countryside, you're likely to run across an auberge a country inn that serves simple, tasty food in an unpretentious, usually pretty, setting. This was owner Max Bernard's vision when he opened La Batisse in Poughkeepsie.
Planted in the middle of beautifully landscaped grounds and surrounded by a gravel driveway, the sturdy farm-style gambrel-roofed house does indeed evoke an auberge. La Batisse translates as "the big manor," and though there are no rooms for overnight guests, the capacious place has a combined seating capacity of about 160. A multitude of intimate dining areas are tucked onto two separate floors; we chose to sit in the narrow sunroom, which provided a lovely view of the outdoor patio and rhododendrons in full bloom.
About 40 bottles ($22-$165) make up the wine list, with most of the selections originating from various oenological regions within France, especially the Rhone Valley. Fourteen of the wines are also available by the glass ($6 to $8.50), offering a decent pour and good value. Vintages are not provided, a negative, as harvest conditions in France vary significantly from year to year. Cocktails and bottled beers ($3.50-$6) are also offered, including Kronenbourg, a clean lager that hails from Alsace.
Change of pace
Snail lovers looking for a change of pace from the ubiquitous, albeit delectable, bourguignonne (garlic-parsley butter) preparation will rejoice in the Escargots Feuillete ($10). Like a treasure chest with its contents brimming over, a thin, sliced-open rectangle of buttery puff pastry hosted a delicious melange of tender escargots with roast tomato tidbits in a rich garlic-tarragon cream sauce.
A glass of Chateau de Sancerre ($8.50) from the Loire Valley partnered superbly with this. This crisp, nicely balanced sauvignon blanc harmonized well with the flavors of the sauce while also cleansing our palates nicely between bites.
When I ordered the Warm Garlic Sausage ($9) I anticipated slices of saucisson a l'ail, something that resembles kielbasa, though thicker in diameter and more coarsely textured. Instead what arrived were two seared patties of garlicky ground pork in a zesty red wine-balsamic reduction. These rounds were a tad dry and lacked the well-integrated garlic and wine flavor of the classic, semi-cured version. According to Bernard, this was a last-minute substitution future diners can expect real saucisson a l'ail.
I have a weak spot for Alsatian white wines with charcuterie, though a medium-bodied red would have probably worked better with this dish. My glass of Schlumberger Pinot Blanc ($6.50) was tasty on its own, however, offering both lively freshness and palate-clinging viscosity.
Full of beefy character
Legend has it that Hanger Steak ($18.50) was known as the "butcher's cut" because it was so flavorful the butcher kept it for his or her own family. This grilled hanger was indeed full of beefy character, though with a signature chewiness that filet mignon fanciers might not concede was worth the trade-off. Regrettably, my steak was cooked a bit past the requested medium, which tended to accentuate this trait.
Among the trio of sauces available, I chose the poivre, which, instead of enrobing the fanned-out slices of hanger, was served in a ramekin for dipping. I rather liked this rich, stock-based, black-and-green peppercorn sauce, which had a gingery, sinus-opening piquancy that was only slightly reined-in by a judicious splash of heavy cream. On the side were some of the best french fries I've had in a long time all with crisp, nicely salted golden crusts and fluffy, slightly sweet centers.
Bouillabaisse ($25) is only available on weekends. Originally a fisherman's stew, some say you need to be near the Mediterranean to make the authentic dish, though chef Michel Fitoussi's version was a tasty facsimile indeed. Large pieces of flaky white cod and firm monkfish, along with chunks of yukon gold potatoes, roasted fennel, jumbo shrimp, succulent mussels and tender calamari were only partially submerged by the superb saffron-tomato broth, which boasted an excellent fish stock foundation.
Three condiments accompanied the bouillabaisse: toasted baguette rounds, a garlic-saffron paste known as rouille and grated Muenster cheese. The idea is to smear the bread slices with rouille, add a little cheese and submerge in the broth to sponge up as much of the precious juices as possible before devouring them.
Mas de Rouviere Bandol ($8/glass) from Provence was a perfumed, bone-dry rose that worked well with some elements of the dish, though it overwhelmed the finfish somewhat. Still, a delightful quaff, especially in warm weather.
Sweet gratification
We liked the fact that our individual Lemon Tart ($6) wasn't overly sweet, though the crust could have been more tender and the pale lemon curd had a subtle citrus flavor that some might find too muted. The tart was attractively presented, atop bright raspberry and ivory sabayon sauces with thin slices of strawberries and a few fresh raspberries.
Creme Brulee ($6), also housemade, had a great vanilla flavor and a brittle, bittersweet caramelized sugar canopy that looked like it was lacquered on. The custard had overheated during cooking and was slightly scrambled on the bottom, but still offered rich, supple bites of creamy gratification.
Besides the pleasant country manor ambience, this place has a lot going for it. Before escaping to Dutchess County, Bernard owned two hugely successful Manhattan eateries: Park Bistro and Les Halles. Also, casual French dining is experiencing somewhat of a renaissance, a trend that is starting to gain momentum here in the Hudson Valley. La Batisse is off to a solid, though not flawless, start.
The Poughkeepsie Journal pays for the meals that are the subjects of restaurant reviews and reviewers do not identify themselves prior to the end of the meal. Daniel Mochon graduated in 2000 with high honors from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. He is the director of wine and cuisine at the Hudson Valley's largest wine and spirits store.

Off The Press
September 14, 2010
By David Hayes
I've been reading books lately like they're going out of style. (With all the e-book readers on the market, they just might be.)
I've read the gamut, from biographies (Ozzy Osborne) and social commentary (The Obama Diaries) to historical fiction (the Temeraire series, featuring a dragon air corps during the Napoleonic wars) and nonfiction ("Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joseph McCarthy," fascinating).
But it's urban fantasy that has kept my eyes glued the most to the printed page. Unfortunately, I was getting a little burned out on vampires and werewolves in the oversaturated market of fantastical creatures in modern times.
So, I was pleasantly surprised to find a new novel with a plot revolving around Norse mythology and a protagonist normally relegated to sidekick status in other fantasy novels — the blacksmith.
I was further surprised the setting for "Black Blade Blues," by first-time novelist J.A. Pitts, was the Seattle area. It had to be written by a local author as it featured specific locales from Everett to Kent.
Then, to my total shock and delight, the main character goes for a run, parking in Gilman Village, in front of the White Horse Toy Store, and heads off down the East Lake Sammamish Trail to Redmond.
Now, I had to track down the author.
My first surprise was, with the urban fantasy market cornered by female authors, J.A. Pitts is actually John Pitts — a Kentucky transplant, living in Bellevue with his wife and two children, toiling in his day job as a computer consultant.
The nom de plume was actually a suggestion by the publisher, Pitts said.
"They could call me Susie for all I care, as long as the check clears," he said.
His debut novel, "Black Blade Blues," is based upon one of Pitts' several short stories. Its development progression started with a writing group assignment to develop a story about a famous sword. While others went the obvious route with Excalibur, Pitts chose Gram from Norse mythology, the famous blade that Sigurd used to slay the dragon Fafnir.
Next, Pitts crafted a protagonist, Sarah, a lesbian blacksmith who unknowingly re-forges the mythical blade, when things really get crazy with dwarves, trolls and dragons, just as she's trying to come to grips with her own inner turmoil of coming out while maintaining a burgeoning relationship.
Then, he mapped out the setting.
"I decided if I was going to write about a fantasy work within a modern setting, why not make it Seattle?" Pitts said. "There's a lot of magic in this area."
The tale just fit, he said, after having driven around much of the region. Just be careful when reading the novel about spots you think you might recognize. I fell into that trap when I thought I knew exactly which out-of-the-way Mexican restaurant in Everett he set a scene in.
"Totally made that one up," he confided.
But the Issaquah location was real. Pitts needed a lengthy trail for Sarah to run down to work through a personal crisis. Looking at a map, Pitts discovered the East Lake Sammamish Trail was the perfect length for her to exhaust herself by the time she reached Marymoor Park in Redmond.
However, Pitts discovered the perils of using real locations in a work of fiction. He admits he had a "brain fart" when he wrote "Cascade Peninsula" instead of "Olympic Peninsula."
It kills him that, he said, that after all of the research he did, from the blacksmith profession to medieval re-enactors from the Society for Creative Anachronism, he gets a regional geographical name wrong and none of his team of editors, publishers or friends caught it.
Regardless of the small snafu, Pitts has penned a well-crafted debut novel, receiving overwhelming feedback leaving readers eagerly anticipating more.
"For my next book," he said, "everyone I know wants to be in it and says, 'Can I die?'"
As he pours over maps to discover the next out-of-the way location to set an epic battle, Pitts has outlined the plot all the way through the fifth installment, with book two already in the publisher's hands. If ever Pitts needs a template for a local reporter, he's got my number.

(Photo: COELACANTH–Accomplished Nothing for millions of years? Didn't want to get evolved?!)
"Evidence in science is the "name of the game." That is, if one has solid evidence backing his statements, they are likely true and he should be believed. Concerning the so-called Geological Column or geological time-scale, there is solid evidence (and lots of it) that there is no such thing as a geological column.
It is a fantasy "discovered" by amateurs 200 years ago and held onto by well-meaning professional geologists ever since.
Two of the amateurs were: William Smith (a civil engineer and surveyor) and James Hutton (an agriculturist). They noticed that in sedimentary layers found almost everywhere there has been uplifting. They guessed (rightly) that the deeper one goes in examining the strata, the older the layers are. What they did wrongly was to assign dates to the layers. They had absolutely no calibrated time scale to use in assigning dates. Dates were selected at random…….
……….Continuing, we want now to examine evidence which doesn't just cripple the concept of a geological column — but rather DESTROYS it!"
What is this which can destroy a "fact" of science so necessary to evolution?
It is "Living Fossils." They eliminate "index fossils" which are used to date geological layers.

Look at this amazing collection of photographs by Alexander Kalion which will give you an idea of the reality and hard life people of the Russian village of the early 1980s lived.
I bet it looks exactactly the same as 10 or 20 years before.
It looks the same right now, 30 years later…
Yes, just less smiley faces today…
Wow. Glad I wasn't there.
Hard life? Just because there is no conspicuous consumption? Just because one has to work? Just because one does not have 3 autos and 2500 s.f. homes? A hard life is living under capitalism where there is gross income inequality, high crime rates, daily gun violence, rich ignorant pols, racism, religious fanatics preaching their pap, and mindless entertainment in the form of television, music and movies created to entertain 12 year old boys with 8 year old minds.
revolutionist you are not right. i live in poland and i lerned that commies want make rich poor and por poorer. like comunism than go live in north corea
I'm not always right but I know DPRK is a feudal Stalinist state, not communist. My sympathies for the horrific treatment Stalin dealt your land.
Very good photographer with somewhat sardonic sense of humor.
success of communism where everybody except supreme leaders is poor
Hard times, but great pictures taken by talented photographer…
Sorry, but it is more like 60s or70s in Russia. Not the 80s.
I know what I am talking about …..

Tallahassee, Florida - You now have the ability to see all of the emails to and from Gov. Rick Scott on his state email account.
On Thursday, the governor unveiled a new effort called "Project Sunburst" that he says is designed to increase transparency and accountability of his administration.
Scott says Floridians will have a new window into how their state government works.
Right now Project Sunburst includes the emails of the governor and 11 people of his leadership team.
"These emails make up more than 80 percent of the public records requests for emails that we receive. This unprecedented step gives the citizens of Florida as well as members of the media, an open and transparent window into how their state government works," said Gov. Scott.
The project will include other state agencies in coming months. Scott says the traditional system for public record requests will remain.
"Project Sunburst will in no way replace the current process that we have for handling public records requests."
The governor was asked if the new effort might actually pressure staffers to use their personal emails accounts more often, such as Gmail, and consequently drive more of his administration's communication underground.
Scott said they know they're expected to conduct state business on state email accounts.
Project Sunburst's policy is to post emails within seven days unless Scott's office gives permission for an extended deadline. The goal is to place emails online within 24 hours.
You can view the governor's emails at: www.flgov.com/sunburst. The username and password are both sunburst.

De Waal alive when set alightComment on this story
Murdered teenager Louise de Waal was alive when she was set alight, the High Court, sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate's Court in Alberton, heard on Wednesday.
Forensic specialist Gina Rowe testified that soot and blood-stained froth was found when she examined De Waal's trachea and bronchi.
"It was inhaled into her lungs."
Judge Sida Kolbe asked if De Waal was alive for this to happen, to which Rowe answered: "It would have been an indication of life".
De Waal's mother Shereen gasped "Oh, my God", putting her hands over her mouth.
But Rowe said there was not a lot of soot in her trachea, and therefore it was possible she had been unconscious.
Rowe explained the graphic findings of the post mortem, including De Waal's badly burnt scalp and protruding tongue. Her left foot was burnt off her body and the soft tissue was burnt off her lower legs.
Her carbon monoxide levels were at 9.8 percent, which Rowe said was high.
"I would expect lower levels (because she was burnt outside)."
Johannes Jacobus Steyn, dubbed the "Sunday Rapist", is accused of murdering school girls De Waal and Lazanne Farmer.
He is also charged with 11 counts of rape, 10 of sexual assault, 10 of kidnapping, one of attempted sexual assault, one of attempted kidnapping and two of assault.
The 11 girls he allegedly attacked between 2008 and 2011 were all between 11 and 18 years old.
The 36-year-old pleaded not guilty to all 37 charges against him on Monday.
On Tuesday, the court heard that an identikit compiled by a friend of De Waal's led to Steyn's arrest.
Policeman Warrant Officer Riaan Jooste testified that he received a call on October 17, the day De Waal was murdered, from a woman who wanted to remain anonymous.
Jooste narrowed the list down to 17 possible suspects, searched police files and found Steyn in the system because he had previously laid a complaint against someone else.
This led Warrant Officer Danie Pieterse to search for a silver bakkie at Steyn's house, which he found. He could not enter the property because the gate was locked.
During a break in proceedings, De Waal's mother Shereen told Steyn to look at her, but the unresponsive Steyn kept his head down throughout the day, a Bible beside him, making notes.
The case was postponed to Wednesday. - Sapa

HOPKINS, Minn. - A new food truck has started serving up free lunches to anyone 18 years of age and under in Hopkins.
The summer food program is an extension of the national free breakfast and lunch programs and a project being run by the Hopkins School District.
The truck is available Mondays through Fridays from June 17 to Aug. 16 at two locations during the day.
The first location is Valley Park from 11 to 11:45 a.m. at 801 7th Ave. South in Hopkins. The second spot is at 43 Hoops from 12 to 12:45 p.m. at 1002 2nd St. NE in Hopkins.
School officials said those locations were chosen because they fall under a census study that showed those areas are where the meals are needed the most.
"This is the pinnacle for me," said Hopkins Public School's nutritionist Barb Mechura. "The kids are going to tell their friends and it's just a great opportunity to help support childhood health."
While the lunches are free for kids, adults can also pay $2 to receive their own lunch.
Mechura said it's one of the first food trucks of its kind in the state and the plan is to serve 4,000 hot meals during the summer.

How to Treat Dry Winter Skin
Ditch Dull-Looking Skin With Easy Makeup Tutorial
Keeping a radiant, fresh face during the winter can be a struggle. The weather and environmental factors tend to leave us looking like a drier, flakier version of ourselves — but not anymore. Here, celebrity makeup artist Desirae Cherman provides simple tips on how to properly moisturize and apply makeup this season for a fresh daytime look.
Hi. I'm Desiree and today I'm going to show you how to moisturize your skin and get a fresh, daytime winter look. In order to have really good, fresh, hydrated skin it's important to keep it very clean so wash it with your favorite creamy cleanser or a make up remover wipe. After cleaning your skin, you want to go ahead and go in with a nice rose water toner Growth-water is a natural moisturizer and will soak in as well as open up your pores. Next we will you wanna go in with a heavy moisturiser, a good cream for the winter months, but something that also still contains a SPF. For the daytime look we're gonna start with a sheer foundation condition or a tinted moisturizer. You just want to even out the redness around the T zone area, underneath your nose which tends to get red a lot in the winter months. you've curled the lashes, go ahead and give it a nice coat of mascara, starting at the base and wiggling the mascara brush in. By focus on the root of the lashes, you create a natural looking lash line without applying eyeliner. After you have done the top lashes, go ahead and give the bottom lashes a nice coat as well. Go ahead and choose a rose colored blush after you're done. Either creme or powder, whatever you're more comfortable using. And apply directly to the apple of your cheek. This will help to give a natural looking blush, and to finish the look, go ahead and take your favorite lip balm and get it all over your lips. Really moisturizing and rubbing in. Or if you used a cream blush on you cheeks, go ahead and take a little bit of that onto your fingertips and dab directly onto the middle of your This will help to get a nice flushed color as well. And now your fresh daytime look for those cold winter months is complete. Thank you for watching BellaSugarTV.

Diamond park compiles 2013 stats
January 07, 2014
A total of 19 diamonds weighing more than 1 carat were found at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arizona in 2013, including these 2.1- and 5.16-carat stones.
Murfreesboro, Ark.--Visitors uncovered a total of 453 diamonds at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas last year, down from the 530 found in 2012, according to Park Interpreter Margi Jenks.
Of the diamonds found, 19 weighed more than one carat, and six of those were more than two carats.
Notable finds at the public park located in Murfreesboro in 2013 included the 5.16-carat "God's Glory" diamond, the 2.13-carat "Nona J" diamond, the 2.1-carat "Andrea Birthday" diamond and the 2.05-carat "Flint Hill Special" diamond.
Arkansas residents constituted about one-third of the year's diamond finds, park officials said, with the rest found by visitors from 33 states, including New Hampshire, California, Montana and Florida. Diamond finders also hailed from Germany, Mexico and Belize.
As of Nov. 30, a total of 112,477 visitors had come to the Crater of Diamonds in 2013, hailing from all 50 U.S. states and more than 15 foreign countries.
Crater of Diamonds also identified nearly 40,000 stones last year, some diamonds, and others rocks and minerals.
"Most media outlets use the week between Christmas and New Year's to look back and recap the highlights of the past year," Jenks said. "So, I have compiled some of the more fascinating numbers from the Crater of Diamonds State Park."

Check fuel pressure shold be 55-60 psi and try cleaning throttle plate with choke cleaner on both sides. It's at the end of the air duct at engine.

Removing Tags from HTML
Tom N
Aug 1, 2012 2:28 PM
Environment: 11gR2 SE1 running on RHEL and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
I have to write a little scraper. The plan is to store the scraped page as a CLOB and then extract the plain text (including, in some cases, getting rid of everything between SCRIPT and STYLE tags or everything between HEAD tags) for further processing.
There was a similar requirement on another project I had to work on a good while back (I think it was a 10gR2 database) and we used Oracle Text machinations to convert the HTML to plain text: it worked very well.
I think the requirements on this project will need a custom parser anyway but, with respect to this thread:
Unable to generate plaintext version of document
can a SME please confirm that there is no longer an Oracle Text way to strip the tags out of an HTML document and return it as plaint text?
Thank You!

Beejive IM [iTunes link], the Swiss army knife of instant messaging on the iPhone, was recently updated to version 2.0. Beejive allows you to connect with many different instant messaging services including: AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN/Live, Myspace IM, and Yahoo messenger. This application was already top-notch in the previous versions and this new version just makes things a lot better. Let's take a look at each of the changes to Beejive.
You are now able to send photos directly from your iPhone and have them show up in-line with the body of the chat. In addition, you can now easily see photos sent to your iPhone. Probably one of the coolest new features is the ability to record and send voice notes to your fellow chatters. Tapping on the toolbar at the top, which lists the current chat name, gets you four options. One of those options is a small microphone; tapping this icon makes your iPhone show a recording view, and instantly start recording audio. When you tap the stop button, your recording will be saved. You can play or record your voice note over again; if you want to send the voice note, tap the "Send" button and your voice note will be directly transferred to the current chat.
In addition to being able to send/receive audio on your iPhone or iPod touch using Beejive 2.0, you can also receive and open multiple types of files, including:
- Most image, audio, and video files
- PDFs
- Word documents
- Excel spreadsheets
- PowerPoint documents
I found that once you receive these types of files, you can also forward them to another person on your buddy list. Once you accept the file transfer, you will get a small blue button that will give you more details about the file that you just received; when you are in this view, you will be able to tap the forward button and find another person to forward it to.
By default, Beejive will use the default sounds for incoming/outgoing messages. These sounds are very similar to the sounds that iChat ships with; however, if you get tired of them, there is an option for you in this new version. You are now able to change the sounds in the Beejive section of Settings.app. Under "Sounds," you are able to change between default, AIM, and Yahoo sounds.
I found that there were two settings for transferring files, and both are useful. Under the "File Transfer" section of Settings.app > Beejive, you are able to choose between two ways of sending files: post a link or direct send preferred.
In my testing, version 2.0 of Beejive seemed extremely stable, and included features that made a big difference. I especially liked the ability to send/receive files right from the device. Beejive is available from the iTunes App Store for $15.99. While the price is high, this application is definitely worth it when you consider all of the capabilities you gain.

What The Hell Did Dwyane Wade Just Sign?
The Miami Heat Have Big Plans For 2016
Once again, the Heat need Dwyane Wade. Do they need him more than he needs them? It's going to be an interesting offseason or two. »
LeBron James Called This Dwyane Wade Game-Winner
Old Man Dwyane Wade's been on a nice little run lately, averaging nearly 30 points per game over his last seven. He dropped 32 on the Portland Trail Blazers last night, the most important of which came by way of this smooth, game-winning jumper at the tail end of the fourth quarter. The Blazers probably should have… »
Dwyane Wade Saves Ball, Throws Spectacular Behind-The-Back Pass
Up against frenemy LeBron James and the Cavaliers, Dwyane Wade is putting on an absolute show tonight. The 27 points on 11-15 through three quarters is impressive enough, but the real highlight of his night is this crazy save turned spot-on behind-the-back pass that split two defenders to Goran Dragic. Maybe even more… »
Dwyane Wade Sounds Pretty Fed Up With Hassan Whiteside
Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside was ejected from last night's game against the Celtics after plowing straight through Celtics center Kelly Olynyk for no good reason, earning himself a one-game suspension. After the game, Dwyane Wade sounded like a man who is losing patience with Whiteside: »
Dwyane Wade Is Not Dead Yet
Dwyane Wade's Christmas day game may end up being his signature performance of the season, leading an undermanned Heat team without Chris Bosh and Josh McRoberts to a win over LeBron's Cavs. Wade poured in 31 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and an emphatic-as-hell block on Kevin Love. »
Gabrielle Union Weds Dwyane Wade in Intimate Miami Ceremony
Yesterday, Gabrielle Union wed her fiancé/boyfriend of five years Dwyane Wade in front of family and friends. Prepare yourself for the barrage of headlines about Union's Union or how Wade Wed. »
Dwyane Wade's Save-The-Date Video Is Just As Corny As Everyone Else's
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union are getting married on August 30, and TMZ got its hands on the save-the-date video that the couple sent to potential guests. If anything, this is evidence that the gap between Wade and Union and a typical thirty-something suburban couple isn't as wide as you might think it is. »
Kid At Dwyane Wade's Basketball Camp Demands To Know Why He Flops
If only there was video of the kid actually asking Dwyane Wade why he flops. That would be beautiful. Wade's explanation of the story is a decent consolation prize. »
Silent Video Of LeBron And Wade Talking Is A Generation's Zapruder Film
That LeBron James and Dwyane Wade flew back to Miami after James's Vegas basketball camp is likely not a major clue to either's free agency decisions (Miami is where their stuff is). But thankfully local news was on the scene to capture more than three minutes of silent video of them talking on the tarmac. »
LeBron Would Be Nuts To Stay In Miami, Because Dwyane Wade Is Dead
In the commotion surrounding the immediate real estate plans of LeBron James and, to a lesser extent, a supporting cosmos of NBA stars, it has gone politely unsaid that one of the summer production's principals is—and in fact has been—dead. Dwyane Wade is no longer a great or even very good NBA player, and every… »
LeBron James Wants To Get Paid Next Year
LeBron James wants teams to know that when he signs his new contract, it's going to be for the maximum salary next year, which shakes out to about $20.7 million. LeBron has never been the highest paid player on any team he's ever played on and he's looking to rectify that. »
Pat Riley Says The Heat "Don't Need To Rebuild"
The biggest question of the NBA offseason will be what becomes of the Miami Heat, who obviously cannot challenge again with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade's corpse, Chris Bosh (who is good and whatever but making a shitload of money), and the rest of the crap roster. It was perhaps Pat Riley's biggest coup getting them… »
The 2014 Heat Were Worse In The Finals Than LeBron's 2007 Cavs Team
At some point around the time Dwyane Wade was impaled, for the second time, on a doddering walkabout turnover in the paint, the wider basketball-viewing world realized that Dwyane Wade has been dead all this time, and was only now being told. But Wade was far from the only Heat carcass to wash up these Finals. »
Dwyane Wade Playing Defense Is A Mess
What you are watching is essentially 12 minutes of Dwyane Wade ambling around the court like a video game character who's been abandoned by his player. All the footage is from this year's NBA Finals series against the Spurs and it's pretty ugly for Wade. »
Report: Heat Looking To Add Carmelo Anthony, Create Big Four
So here's some news from ESPN's Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst that will definitely go over well with all the well-adjusted NBA fans across America: The Miami Heat are mulling over a plan that would allow them to sign current New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony in free agency this summer, while keeping LeBron James,… »
Bobby Ramos Was The MVP Of Game 3
After getting smoked by the Spurs with a historic shooting night, the Miami Heat had some serious questions to answer. These were not those questions. »
Dwyane Wade Fined $5,000 For This Ridiculous Flop
The NBA has brought swift justice against Dwyane Wade, who committed one of the most egregious flops you will ever see during last night's game against the Spurs. He will be fined $5,000 for convincing the referee that Manu Ginobili has telekinetic powers. »
Paul George Says He Blacked Out After Taking A Knee To The Head
NBA fans saw something they aren't really used to seeing during last night's game between the Heat and Pacers: a player lying motionless on the floor after taking a blow to the head. »

First thing first - Hi all. My first one here. I can't for my life understand how I could miss out on this place. I'm on XS, TS, OCForum but this one I just registered at. Sorry for being late to the party.
Hello Kinc by the way, I saw you spent the weekend with Thomas. He's an old friend of me. We played together in our Battlefield clan. He worked at Dell then and did always show up with the most jammed case I ever saw. It just had to contain some strange stuff like perc cards and 15k rpm SCSI's. That man is a bit "extra". I hope he treated you well.
Back ON topic. I see you get some good speeds out of the "Unknown" and now I have a hard time to decide if to go with the XT or the XTX.
Does anyone know when th XTX is about to hit the market?
All I have seen is news about the XT but the "beast"? Has everyone forgot about it? When, where and how will we see it? Anyone?
PS here's another dealer with "known" card on display.

Chapter 1. Steps To Explain Option Trading Further Explored
To further explain option trading, here's a tricky one but very useful. A man bought a 90-day Call at 50 (stock was selling at 50) for $350. In 60 days the stock rose to 70. At this price of 70 he has a 20-point profit, less the cost of his option, and he buys a 60-day Put at 70 for about $400. Let us see what happens. Say that in the 60-day life of his Put the stock declines again to 50. He has lost the profit that he had on his Call, but he has a 20-point profit on his Put, less 2 premiums totaling $750-a net gain of $1,250.
Something to be watchful for when desiring to explain option trading,
there is a theory among some traders that, if they are bullish enough
on a stock to buy a Call, they should be bullish enough to buy stock at
the same time with the idea that, if the stock advances to a point where
the profit will pay the cost of the Call contract, they can sell the stock
and have the Call for nothing.
While I explain option trading, I have to say that I don't approve of trading like this—I believe in going whole hog—but there are some who like to scale their orders to sell against an option which they hold. For instance, take a man who owns a Call option on 100 shares at 50, good for 90 days, for which he paid $350; his idea of trading is to sell 50 shares short at 60, and maybe 50 shares short at 65. Of course, he must deposit margin with his stockbroker to take such a position, and he may be able to trade back and forth before the expiration of the option and complete many trades. If, after selling 50 shares short at 60 and 50 shares short at 65, the market continues to rise to 70 or 75, he just exercises his option at expiration and his account will look like this:
Explanation of Chart
As I explain option trading, take, for example, a man who bought 100
Chrysler on August 20, 1957, at 80. By November 20 (or in 90 days) he
would have had a loss of $1,400, and in 6 months his loss would have been
$3,000. Compare his position with that of a man who bought a 90-day Call
contract on 100 Chrysler at 80 on August 20, at the market for $500. Let
us suppose also that this last man bought a 6-month Call at 80 on August
20 for which he paid $750. Neither the 90-day Call nor the 6-month Call
would have shown a profit. The man who bought the Call options was as
wrong in his market judgment as the first man, and he lost the money that
he paid for the Calls—but that money was the limit of his risk.
Now, after Chrysler declined, the man who had bought the Calls instead
of the stock and had drawn from the equity in his account only the cost
of the Call contract, was in a position to buy the actual stock at a much
lower price than when he first became bullish on it. Even though the purchase
of the Calls was unprofitable, it saved him from buying the stock at the
original high price.
Notice the profit against the cost of the option (notice the leverage) and the percentage gain; at no time was the risk greater than the cost of the option contract.

Can you get a tumor in the arse?
The entire family is a cancer.
You could park a Boeing in that arse.
If tumor means 'penis' then the answer is — depends on how rich you are.
hahaha, good one userfalltrades
She'd better be careful or she'll stretch that shirt.
Does this ass make my ass look big?
Her ass just looks straight up funny in this pic. Haha funny.
When she sits on it, does it make that whoopie cushion sound?
Is she trying to botox her lips into proportioning her ass?
Anyone who wears UGGS is suspect to me… ESPECIALLY if you're wearing them in JUNE. Dumbass…
it's been hovering around 90 in DC, can only imagine how fucking hot it is in LA
It hasn't been hot in LA. We're in the middle of June Gloom and it's hotter in the east coast. We're lucky if we hit 70 as our high. Get your facts straight dumbass!
I'm told that in Australia—where Ugg is based—the only people who wear them are the trailer trash.
This is true, you can determine if a chick has trailer related STD's just by looking at her feet.
she's a midget standing next to that giant.
Peter Dinklage sure got HOT!
is he hiding in her ass?
Does this big ass make my ass look big?
Shh… don't tell anyone, but she keeps Khloe in there.
That's right, America. She tries on jeans by pulling an extra-large T-shirt over them and seeing how her ass looks that way.
All hail our reality-show queen!
At least she doesnt look like a snobby, self centered bitch in this photo.
She looks older & haggard here. Marathon boutique shopping must be very strenuous.
I"m thinking that's pretty much the only look she's got.
I wonder if she's taller when she sits down than when she stands up.
Yes, Honey, the jeans make your ass look big. The CHAIR makes your ass look big. The PHOTOS make your ass look big. The CARPET. . . . .
See, she's just like us, she puts her jeans on one leg at a time. Of course she DOES require hydraulics to get them up over her ass…
A friendly word of warning… do NOT click on View Full Size! I just got back from buying a new monitor.
"Kim Kardashian in Beverly Hills… and her ass in West Hollywood."
I thought those WERE the Beverley Hills until I saw the tardface.
Well, that's just silly. There is no way that can be real. Can it?
Fake boobs. Real booty.

SAN ANGELO (March 5, 2013)—Animal control officers have safely removed a deer that wandered on to the campus of Angelo State University in San Angelo after firing a tranquilizer dart to subdue the animal.
Officer Toby Allen says the more than 100-pound deer wandered between some structures and ended up near a building window Monday at the school.
ASU police Chief James Adams says no property was damaged.
Game wardens transported the deer to a state park for release.
Leonor Constancio, who works in ASU's communications and marketing office, saw the deer and said Tuesday it's a miracle the animal didn't get hurt.

Reevothemusefan's review
Reevothemusefan scored this with 9/10. Disagree?
Last volume, I talked about how everything was being set up for two really important arcs. Well, that has certainly proved true; there is even one that has even been built up since the first season of Naruto and I'm sure that fans can't wait to see the conclusion. My worry was that the important moments might feel underwhelming or anti-climatic, but, thankfully, I can report that this box set holds some of the best episodes the Naruto franchise has to offer so far.
These arcs start and end on their separate discs. The first disc focuses on Naruto's teacher Jiraiya, who has found intelligence on the Akatsuki leader who is hiding somewhere in Amegakure. He attempts to sneak in on his own, to figure out who he is, and what he is capable of; however, the more he learns of the strange peace around this village that was always surrounded with civil war a few years ago, the closer the Akatsuki leader gets to confronting him.
When Jiraiya is spotted, we find out that the leader of the Akatsuki is Pain and alongside him is another Akatsuki member known as Konan. Jiraiya is shocked, since these two were his apprentices, and in the past, he heard that they had died in battle years ago. Now he must face his former students, knowing that both of them have grown up and are a lot stronger.
It takes a while for this arc to get going, since it needs to be a bit thorough in showing Jiraiya's backstory in the first two episodes. But when that's out of the way, it becomes a very tense and emotional bunch of episodes; the foreshadowing can be a bit too much and a certain flashback is used to death but by the end of it, you will be surprised.
The arc on the second disc really requires no introduction; it's the battle between the Uchiha brothers: Sasuke and Itachi. Even those with a basic knowledge of Naruto should already know about these two and why Sasuke wants revenge on his brother. Fans - especially the ones who haven't read the manga - have been awaiting this fight for a long time.
The fight certainly reaches a climax that I will not dare spoil but Itachi's behaviour is something to take note of. I can't see anyone being disappointed with these episodes, there might be a few cheaply animated scenes but it's done very well nonetheless.
So, all I can really say is that these arcs are easily worth the price of admission for this box set. It shows the strengths of Naruto Shippuuden and the tension is building up yet again with a big reveal at the end of the last episode.
While I like the new opening (Flow – Signs), I felt like it was too early to show it, again due to spoilers that are revealed in it, however it's animated well and it has a good J-rock song that goes along with it. The new ending (Kishidan - Omae Dattanda) also is decently animated and has a good J-rock song as well.
Extras remain the same as previous box sets: Production Art and Trailers.
In Summary
Naruto Shippuuden box set 11 has two of the best arcs so far in the franchise and with a big revelation at the end of it, fans will be very pleased.

Ever wonder how jazz songstress Billie Holiday came to sing the classic tune, Strange Fruit ? Vanity Fair contributing editor David Margolick provides a well-researched, in-depth answer in this portrayal of the tune's origins, the controversy surrounding it, and the violence it occasionally stirred when it was performed.
Margolick's book is filled with anecdotes and testimonials from those who witnessed Lady Day's numerous interpretations of the protest anthem, which was recently named one of ten songs that changed the world. Jazz critic Leonard Feather called Strange Fruit, with its haunting lyrics about a lynching, a significant protest in words and music, the first unmuted cry against racism. Strange Fruit chronicles the 1939 premiere of the song by Holiday, then known for her solemn ballads and heart-wrenching blues, before a stunned crowd at Cafe Society, New York City's only integrated club. Despite her initial reluctance to sing the number, she nevertheless performed it, sparking a much needed debate about the ongoing rash of racial lynchings and the repressive policies of Jim Crow. Margolick reveals the significance of Holiday's courageous act, which came 16 years before Rosa Parks's historic refusal to give up her seat on an Alabama bus.
Contrary to popular belief, the song was written not by Holiday, but by a white schoolteacher, Abel Meeropol. Although Holiday's producer, John Hammond, didn't want her to sing it because of the strong political message, Holiday mesmerized audiences with her rendition, often bringing them to tears. The song also made enemies for Holiday, and the singer believed it led federal prosecutors to target her for harassment. Very few other performers sang it until the late 1950s and 1960s, when Josh White and Nina Simone began including it in their acts.
For jazz buffs and anyone interested in popular culture, this slender book by Margolick offers several surprises and revelations within its pages, as it chronicles those past and present who have sung Strange Fruit, including Sting, UB40, Cassandra Wilson, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Tori Amos. This is indeed a job well done.
Robert Fleming is a journalist in New York City.

Swingbyte 2 Golf Swing Trainer
The Swingbyte 2 golf training aid is a small device that weighs less an ounce and attaches to any club in a golfer's bag, just below the grip. Once the user hits a shot, the Swingbyte transmits instantaneously digitized feedback, via a Bluetooth connection, to a smart phone or tablet.
The Swingbyte golf swing trainer will show the swing plane and path the club has traveled from any angle, including an overhead. It features a metric page, too, that will show clubhead speed, lie angle, and other data that might help in identifying a flaw in a golfer's swing.
Swingbyte works with Apple and Android
Swingbyte brings the same experience to the most popular smartphones and tablets, including
Just click Add Swings and put your phone away. Swingbyte does the rest. Every swing you take gets captured within seconds, with no intervention required. With each swing you can animate the motion of your club and view it from any angle you want. All backed by hard numbers.
Backing up the animation is data about your swing at address, impact and in between. Numbers include Club head speed and acceleration at all points through your swing, your club's true plane from address to impact, clubface angle relative to swing path, static and dynamic loft and lie at address and impact, angle of attack and club path and tempo.
Every swing you take gets stored on your device and in the cloud. Want to know fast you swung a driver last June? It's just two clicks away.
Swingbyte is so accurate because it gathers accurate data about the clubs you use. Customize your club bag quickly and easily, and use Swingbyte with confidence.
Get advice on your swing based on the teaching philosophy of your choice. The Swingbyte app identifies the most important areas of improvement and provides suggestions and drills to address them.
