Planet Beach Contempo Spa San Antonio EastRead MoreA wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles. Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.17331 Interstate 35 NSchertz, TX US

Malaysians Zulfahmi Khairuddin (left) and Amirul Hafiq Azmi will be competing in the Moto3 world motorcycle championships this year, beginning in Qatar on March 23. - Filepic
PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Moto3 rider Zulfahmi Khairuddin is enjoying the best pre-season ever since he ventured into the world championship in 2010.
The 22-year-old will only be doing official tests with his new team Ongetta-Air Asia at the Valencia circuit in Spain from Feb 11-13. Until then, he keeps himself busy by going mountain biking, motocross and regular visits to the gym.
"There is more fun this pre-season because I'm not alone. I have several riders who will either join me in the world championship or riding in the Spanish National Championship training with me," said Zulfahmi.
Besides Zulfahmi, Amirul Hafiq Azmi is the other Malaysian to race in the Moto3 world championship this year. The season begins with the Qatar Grand Prix on March 23.
Husni Aizat Abdul Malik and Mohd Hafiza Rofa are the Malaysians competing in Moto3 in the Spanish National Championship, which begins in Jerez on April 6.
Zulfahmi will be riding a Honda for the new season. Last season, he rode a KTM bike in his time with Red Bull KTM Ajo. He finished the championship in 12th position with 68 points.
"There were plans to do some private tests before the official test, but apparently the bike is not ready yet," said Zulfahmi. "But I'm not fretting over it because I think the three official tests should be enough."
After Valencia, the other two tests will be conducted in Jerez on Feb 18-20 and March 11-13.

The present study was conducted to examine the reliability and validity of the 'Korean Standard Pattern Identification for Stroke (K-SPI-Stroke)', which was developed and evaluated within the context of traditional Korean medicine (TKM).
Between September 2006 and December 2010, 2,905 patients from 11 Korean medical hospitals were asked to complete the K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire as a part of project ' Fundamental study for the standardization and objectification of pattern identification in traditional Korean medicine for stroke (SOPI-Stroke). Each patient was independently diagnosed by two TKM physicians from the same site according to one of four patterns, as suggested by the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine: 1) a Qi deficiency pattern, 2) a Dampness-phlegm pattern, 3) a Yin deficiency pattern, or 4) a Fire-heat pattern. We estimated the internal consistency using Cronbach's α coefficient, the discriminant validity using the means score of patterns, and the predictive validity using the classification accuracy of the K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire.
The K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire had satisfactory internal consistency (α = 0.700) and validity, with significant differences in the mean of scores among the four patterns. The overall classification accuracy of this questionnaire was 65.2 %.
These results suggest that the K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument for estimating the severity of the four patterns.
Keywords:Reliability; Validity; Pattern identification; Stroke
Stroke, the second most common cause of death in Korea, is a considerable burden on Korean society. According to an annual report of the National Health Insurance Corporation in 2009, the estimated cost to treat and manage cerebrovascular diseases totals 920 billion won (approximately 0.87 billion dollars) [1].
Historically, traditional Korean medicine (TKM), which considers- the location, cause, and nature of patients' diseases, has been the major treatment modality in the Korean medical system for properly treating stroke patients.
TKM has a unique diagnostic system called pattern identification (PI), which distinguishes it from modern Western medicine. PI is a process of the overall analysis of clinical data using an integrative approach that addresses the etiology, pathology, and treatment method [2]. This diagnostic system is theoretically well organized and involves the classification of patients into certain categories. However, other medical systems did not recognize the pattern classifications of TKM as a diagnostic system by TKM doctors, which prompted these doctors to study whether they could make the same diagnosis in identical patients (reliability) and whether their diagnoses were accurate (validity). Considering the importance of PI in determining treatment regimens, an accurate questionnaire is warranted.
In the last five years, many TKM doctors have studied the diagnostic validity and reliability of TKM for various health conditions [2-6]. Lee et al. [7] released the Korean Standard Pattern Identification for Stroke (K-SPI-Stroke) in 2011, which included the sign and symptoms used by TKM doctors to diagnose patterns of stroke in Korean patients. We evaluated the reliability and validity of the K-SPI-Stroke.
Study subjects and data collection
This study was a community-based multi-center trial. Stroke patients were admitted to 11 TKM hospitals. We enrolled stroke patients within 30 days of the onset of their symptoms as confirmed by imaging diagnosis, such as computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We excluded traumatic strokes, such as subarachnoid, subdural, and epidural hemorrhages. Moreover, we excluded patients who exhibited a blood stasis pattern. Originally, blood stasis was one of the possible patterns, but the number of patterns was changed from four patterns to five pattern in a previous study [7] because blood stasis was dropped due to a small sample size. Informed consent was received from all of the subjects, and PI was performed using the 44 signs and symptoms related to the four patterns. On the same day, to minimize differences between the two diagnoses, patients were independently diagnosed with one of the four patterns using PI by two physicians. The physicians had at least three years of clinical experience with stroke after finishing their regular (six years) education in TKM. The physicians took regular training courses on standard operating procedures (SOP) twice a year. The number of physicians at each site ranged from 2 to 25, and a total of 105 physicians were included in this study. On the basis of the diagnostic results from the physicians, the patients were classified to have an identical pattern when the two physicians' decisions were in agreement. Over 40 months, 2,905 patients participated in this study (from September 2006 to December 2010). This study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards of the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM) and each of the participating TKM hospitals.
Pattern identification questionnaire
The K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire was developed in a previous study via a multistage process [8]. First, the signs and symptoms included in the K-SPI-Stroke were selected from the TKM literature, textbooks, and clinical papers by an expert committee organized by the KIOM. Second, a K-SPI-Stroke prototype featuring various signs and symptoms was applied to test the data from recruited patients. The K-SPI-Stroke was then reexamined by a committee of experts and adjusted to maximize its validity. Consequently, the final version of the K-SPI-Stroke included 44 sign and symptom entries (11 Qi deficiency pattern items, 7 Dampness-phlegm pattern items, 7 Yin deficiency pattern items and 19 Fire-heat pattern items) [7,9,10]. The severity for each item is graded on the following scale: 1 = not significant, 2 = significant and 3 = very significant. To convert this scale to a dichotomous scoring system, 0 points were assigned for a grade score of 1, and 1 point was given for each item receiving a graded score of 2 or 3. The dichotomous scores of each item were summed, and the K-SPI-Stroke score (Qi deficiency pattern score: QDP score, Dampness-phlegm pattern score: DPP score, Yin deficiency pattern score: YDP score, and Fire-heat pattern score: FHP score) was calculated.
Statistical methods
The internal consistency of the questionnaire was assessed using Cronbach's α coefficient. It has been suggested that values of α > 0.5 are acceptable, although ideally the scores should be >0.7 [11,12]. The K-SPI-Stroke score of each pattern was calculated by summing all of the relevant item scores for each pattern category. As an indication of the discriminant validity, the mean score of the patients' diagnosed pattern should be significantly higher than the other nondiagnosed patterns, indicating the scores' ability to differentiate among the patterns. The underlying hypothesis was that stroke patients would report higher scores for their diagnosed pattern and thus report lower scores for the other nondiagnosed patterns. To test the discriminant validity, which test whether measures that are supposed to be unrelated are in fact unrelated [13], we used a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA to compare the mean scores of the four patterns. Posteriori comparisons were performed using Scheffé's test. To evaluate the predictive validity, we used a classification accuracy test with a discriminant linear function for the four patterns. Statistical significance was achieved when a P value was less than 0.05. All analyses were performed with SAS version 9.1.3 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC).
Demographic characteristics of patients with stroke
The mean age of the 2,905 subjects was 66.98 (standard deviation, 11.55) years. The numbers of male and female were 1,530 (52.67%) and 1,375 (47.33%), respectively. Approximately 65% of the patients had histories of drinking and smoking. Patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia accounted for 26.73% and 12.63% of the population, respectively. The frequency of stroke patients with hypertension (60.54%) was higher than the frequency of patients with diabetes or hyperlipidemia. Other variables are also presented in Table 1.
Table 1. Demographic characteristics of patients with stroke
Reliability analysis
Cronbach's α coefficient was computed to test the internal consistency of the 44 items on the K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire. Cronbach's α was 0.70 for the 44 signs and symptoms, indicating that the K-SPI-Stroke exhibited good internal consistency and the alpha values for the patterns ranged from 0.42 to 0.67 (Table 2).
Table 2. Internal consistency (Cronbach's coefficient α) total and within each pattern and mean scores for each item of patterns
Validity analysis
Because we expected to find that the mean scores of each pattern would differ depending on the diagnosed pattern of the patient, we assessed the discriminant validity using an ANOVA for the mean scores of the four patterns. We compared the means of the scores (FHP, DPP, QDP and YDP scores) to determine whether differences could be detected among the four patterns. The mean FHP score for the FHP patients was significantly higher than that for the DPP, QDP and YDP patients. The mean score of patients' diagnosed pattern was significantly higher than the mean scores of the other patterns (Table 3).
Table 3. Discriminant validity of the four patterns
To evaluate the predictive validity of this study, we used a discriminant analysis to classify the four patterns. The linear discriminant function, which consisted of the 44 items for the four patterns, is not shown. The predictive function that was taken into consideration for the distribution of the patterns and the individual patterns was assessed with the classification rates listed for the whole model. Table 4 shows the classification results for the four patterns. The overall accuracy of the classification of the four patterns was 65.2 %, and the individual classification accuracy for QDP, DPP, YDP and FHP was 64.13 %, 72.61 %, 41.77 %, and 68.23 %, respectively.
Table 4. Results using the classification of discriminant linear function
This study demonstrates that the K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument. Reliability and validity are two important factors in designing a questionnaire. Reliability is concerned with the repeatability or reproducibility of the measurements while validity reflects the accuracy of the data and ensures that responses are a true reflection of the issues of interest [14-17]. To test the reliability of the K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire, we evaluated its internal consistency by using Cronbach's α, which equals zero when the true score is not measured at all and when the data show only errors or noise; when Cronbach's α equals 1.0, all of the items measure the true score alone without any error contributions.
The K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire had strong internal consistency, with a Cronbach's α of 0.700 for the total signs and symptoms. However, each pattern was unsatisfactory and varied from 0.424 to 0.674. The poor reliability of the internal consistency in each pattern may suggest that the pattern constructs are not homogenous, or perhaps that the signs and symptoms are not appropriate measures of these constructs for stroke. It is likely that supplementing other patterns of K-SPI-Stroke with additional signs and symptoms, or eliminating poor signs and symptoms, may improve the reliability of the internal consistency for this questionnaire.
Cronbach's α increased to a maximum of 0.715 when "wheezing in throat with sputum" was removed. Although this result implies that "wheezing in throat with sputum" does not measure stroke with the same validity as the other items, this item was not removed because this symptom had little influence on the overall internal consistency of the K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire.
In the analysis of the validity, we used two methods: scores comparison and a classification accuracy test. The mean score of the patients' diagnosed pattern was significantly higher than the mean scores of the other patterns. In other words, the QDP, DPP, YDP and FHP patients reported the highest mean score for the QDP, DPP, YDP and FHP pattern, respectively. Thus, each score was a good reflection of the patient's pathologic pattern. The second method was to compare the classification results with the physicians' diagnoses to show the classification accuracy. The overall classification accuracy of the four patterns was 65.2 %, and the classification accuracy of the QDP, DPP, YDP and FHP was 64.13 %, 72.61 %, 41.77 %, and 68.23 %, respectively.
The YDP score was significantly higher than the scores of the other patterns (Table 2). However, the classification accuracy of the YDP (41.77 %) was lower than that of the other patterns (Table 3). This result indicates that some of the YDP items may not have accurately reflected the YDP pattern. In order words, the K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire does not discriminate YDP among the four patterns because in TKM, YDP simultaneously includes a Heat element of the FHP and a deficiency element of the QDP.
A 44 items for K-SPI-Stroke was developed, which included 33 items related to signs and 11 items related to symptoms of stroke. The developed K-SPI-Stroke questionnaire had satisfactory reliability (α = 0.700), predictive validity (classification accuracy of 65.2 %) and discriminant validity with significant differences in the means of scores among the patterns. Further studies are warranted to overcome the predictive validity limitation.

A can of refried beans! It has like 40 grams of fiber in it. Along with water and exercise. I don't recommend the entire can though because too much fiber can make you have the runs lol! I guess thats still pooping though? I have been eating every day a fiber bar, 2 sandwhiches with whole grain bread and half a can of refried beans. along with lots of water. I hadn't pooped in 5 days and after doing that I finally went lol

I've been having the same issue. Drinking a glass of milk before bed is working for me. It's worked for two days in a row for me so not sure if it's really the milk or just a coincidence. I've also had Metamucil during the day. Nonetheless, I feel so bloated all of the time!

, I can't really find much fault with it. A lot does happen quickly, but nothing un-happens, it's exciting, some of the character moments are amazing (other than the root beer conversation, I think my favorite is the bit between Odo and Quark about Rom stealing the disruptor), and the consequences are far-reaching.
I think that the knowledge of Worf's arrival as a ratings stunt tends to make it easy to underestimate how cohesive these events actually are, and how well they fit into the story overall. Rather than rushing toward a confrontation with the Dominion, we see the effects of the changelings working in the background, preparing the alpha quadrant for conquest.
Great stuff.

Team 696, the Circuit Breakers, is a FIRST Robotics team based at Clark Magnet High School in La Crescenta, California. As part of the FIRST organization (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), Team 696 provides students with a wealth of knowledge about engineering, design, programming, and teamwork. By working with our school, our sponsors, and our community, Team 696 aims to create the next generation of leaders in science and technology.
Innovating Since 2001
And We're Still Going Strong
Our Process
Since its founding in 2001, Clark Magnet High School's FIRST Robotics Team 696 has strived to create the
next generation of leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields through
local community outreach and participation in the international FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC).
Each year, our team has only six weeks to design, manufacture, and program a fully-functional robot for that year's FRC game. Our rationale is that through a method of guided discovery, each student can refine his or her skills in a specific sub-group of the team, developing practical applications of STEM concepts outside the ordinary classroom environment.
There Is No "I" In Team
Team 696 also takes pride in giving back to the community. Throughout the year, our students become
mentors themselves, coaching several Lego robotics teams throughout our district.
Ultimately, the knowledge and experience gained through the team is more important than any competition. Any student who joins FIRST Robotics Team 696, regardless of his or her skill sets, will leave with an enlightened perspective on teamwork, engineering, and countless other disciplines. Throughout their FIRST Robotics experience, members of Team 696 become scientists, engineers, managers, and friends.

UCREL Corpus Research Seminar: Evidence Finder: a semantic search tool for the PMC Corpus of Biomedical Research Papers
Date: 7 February 2013 Time: 2.00-3:00 pm
Venue: FASS Meeting Room 3
UCREL Corpus Research Seminar
Evidence Finder: a semantic search tool for the PMC Corpus of Biomedical Research Papers
C.J. Rupp (History, Lancaster University. Previously NaCTeM, Manchester University)
This talk will describe the design and development process for a search service designed to provide a more intuitive point of access to a very large corpus of published research in Health and Biomedicine. This work was conducted in the UKPMC project, intended to provide an appropriate portal to the PubMed Central research repository for users in the UK, though the scope has now been widened to Europe as a whole.
Evidence Finder combines a specialised lexical resource, the BioLexicon, Named Entity Recognition (NER), for relevant classes of entity (e.g. genes, diseases, drugs, proteins, ), and deep syntactic analysis, using the Enju parser, customised for the biomedical domain. This base of specialised linguistic and domain knowledge permits the extraction of relevant relations involving significant entities. These are assembled in a large index of "facts" containing potential evidence of interest to researchers. The search tool takes a fairly novel approach, by organising a potentially large set of results according to a set of relevant questions that the user might have asked. We consider this an intuitive method to combat information overload, but have to admit a degree of debt to the quiz show Jeopardy®.

The recent debate in City Council about the proposed nondiscrimination amendment baffles my mind. Why would anyone with even a trace of common sense and decency discriminate against anyone whose color, national origin or sexual orientation is different from theirs?
The irony is that most of the opposition to the amendment, at least so it seems to me, is generated by so-called Christians, people who profess to believe in Jesus - the Christ, whose life and ministry on earth was characterized by compassion, justice and love. ("Opponents of changing city's nondiscrimination ordinance hold rally," Aug. 27)
To profess to be one of His followers, and yet deny the human rights and the personhood of fellow human beings is hypocritical, to say the least. In fact, it's criminal!
If you are one of them, I say: "Shame on you!"

I see we have some more conspiracy theories here! Excellent assumptions! Did you check before assuming that first-gen iPad users were the only ones experiencing this bug – i.e. a software error caused by human error?
The thread is clear in showing that many other different devices are also experiencing the bug; hence your silly claim has no basis whatsoever. Furthermore, my iPhone 4S – the latest iPhone, in case you didn't know – still exhibits the bug.
People need to realise something: these things aren't fixed overnight. Engineers need to prioritise between minor bugs like this one, and critical bugs such as call and battery issues! So BE PATIENT.

Too bad for me: I started using Apple products just when they started acting like every other annoying and insensitive big company. So I'll buy their products when I like them but there's not a lot of reason for brand loyalty anymore outside of ecosystem convenience.
A tantrum won't get the bug fixed more quickly, Gene. Apple are still on the case.
If you think Apple are "like every other annoying and insensitive big company" perhaps you should try buying a competing device – I'm sure you'll enjoy having no support and more.
Apple have been nothing but helpful in all my dealings with them, including this one, and, as I said, are still on the case.

Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to genefromwilton
This was working fine on my iPhone 4S and my ipad2 with iOS 5.0.1. After the 5.1 upgrade neither work. I don't think it's a bug. I think apple is systematically blocking the feature to force us into buying Apple TV with AirPlay Mirroring. Not sure why, don't they have enough $$$$$ yet?

Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to XenaPW2011
I was a little worried when I saw this last post by XenaPW2011 this morning since I use this feature a lot. However, I also have a 4S and I can confirm that mine is still working since the 5.1 update using an Apple brand composite video cable. I haven't tried my 3GS since the 5.1 update to see if it now works. I'm not getting my hopes up though. XenaPW2011, check your settings. Maybe the upgrade switched it from PAL to NTSC or vice versa. I know there is a setting like that in there somewhere that screws people up.
XenaPW2011 Mar 15, 2012 11:44 AM
Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to vbmike73
We figured it out! Turns out our apple adapter went bad at the same time that we upgraded to 5.1. We have replaced the cable and now is all well. Whew! Thanks to everyone for contributing to the conversation.
genefromwilton Mar 15, 2012 2:30 PM
Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to XenaPW2011
OK, so inspired by XenaPW2011's success I went back and checked things out. I plugged in my iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1). That worked with YouTube. First time I actually saw video from the iOS device on my TV. So I plugged my iPad 1 back in (also iOS 5.1) and played a YouTube video. That worked also. Prior to this, I had not gotten video from the iPad onto the TV. Prior to upgrading to iOS 5.1, I had tried various apps, all with the same result (sound but no video). After upgrading, I still had no video, but i had only tried the ABC TV iPad app. That app still just sends sound to the TV but no video, but the YouTube app and playing a video I bought from the iTunes store works fine with TV OUT on iOS 5.1 and the iPad 1.
Bottom line: TV Out on iOS 5.1 on the iPad 1 works for me now, but not for all apps that show video.

Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to genefromwilton
Hi, I have an iPad 2 iOS 5.1 with the video HDMI adapter from Apple A1388. I cannot see the "TV out" option in the General Settings when the cable is connected. Can someone advise? I want to change the video output settings to 50 Hz PAL from 60 Hz NTSC.
Anything I should try?
seongem Mar 25, 2012 9:37 AM
Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to crackedpot
Thanks to everyone that has replied to this post. I have been experiencing simliar problems. I have a new Composite AV cable from Apple MC748ZM/A. (NOTE: This cable does not support video mirroring between device and TV) I've been testing only using youtube.
It appears that the cable does not seat as well on the iPad running iOS 5.1. I've noticed there is a little play in the connector. After reseating ("jiggling") the cable connector, the "TV out" option under General Settings appears and the youtube video also shows up on my TV.
The cable seems to seat better on my iPhone (1st Gen...yes I know it's dated...running iOS 3.1.3) where I don't notice the "play" in the connection and the video does not drop out even when I jiggle the cable connector.
The cable seems to seat well on a iPod Touch running iOS 5.1 but I am able to cause the video to drop out by applying pressure on the connector slightly which also ends the youtube video.
I initially thought it was an iOS 5.1 issue but I am now wondering if the connectors on the newer devices are slightly different than the cable connector. Maybe the iOS 5.1 is also slightly more sensitive to detecting the cable.
I am not sure how well this cable will work in my car so I am going back to the apple store and am going to test my cable and devices there.
Jsmiller58 Mar 25, 2012 4:51 PM
Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to crackedpot
I don't think this is a bug, or a conspiracy... Simplest answer is that iOS 5 requires a specific version of the hdmi cable... The hdmi standard has evolved over time. I have an "old" and a "newer" cable. The old worked just fine with iOS 4 but not with iOS 5, but when I switched to the newer cable video output worked just fine.
My situation was iPad 2 used to work for watching downloaded movies on my tv through my AV receiver, but after upgrade I kept getting error message that the device was not authorized to play digital content (iTunes moves). After using my new cable, all is good. I know my old cable works as I use it for other devices.
Hope that this helps.

Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to Jsmiller58
I just bought an adapter and a HDMI cable for my iPad1, and I was having difficulties as well. Thanks for the useful posts in this topic, it helped clear many things about this.
Now, the upper conclusion, that some apps are working and some are not, seems to be the case. That is very annoying, because I bought the stuff to watch online TV streams on my TV via iPad. Currently youtube is working, but the filmon app for example is not.
So Jsmiller58: if iOS5 requires a different cable, how can it be, that only the apple Apps are working and displaying picture too, and other Apps only transfer sound? Sounds kinda nonsense to me.

I Have a iphone 3gs and ipod 3g. Composite AV cable deliverd 13/06/2012. Both runing iOS 5.1.1 both don't show TV setting in General settings, when pluged into TV or not pluged into TV. Anyone any more ideas. Help!
emwok Jun 16, 2012 6:23 PM
Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to elliottegg
No luck here either. Just bought an aftermarket AV cable to hook both my iPad1 (5.0.1) and my iPad Touch (5.1.1) to both my Sony TV and my Escalade AV AUX input. Sound came through but no video on either. Thought it was the cable so I returned it and bought the Apple Composite AV Cable. Same problem, with both devices. I tried both videos and YouTube with no results. No 'TV Out' settings in either General settings, with or without cable plugged in. Audio works on all however?
Any feedback would be helpful!
emwok Jun 17, 2012 1:21 PM
Re: no TV out in iOS 5? in response to emwok
Ok all, I solved my problem! No 'TV out' for me either with 5.0.1 or 5.1.1. But then returned my Conposite AV cable for another and voila, worked like a charm. Apparently there are quite a few defective cables out there which are causing the problem. You 'should' see 'TV out' in general settings which signifies video out is working on iOS 5.
Good luck, your not crazy!

Redwood RoomJanuary 16New American • Rochester, United States
A tight space but really chill and romantic to take a significant other for a special night out. Exceptional food that won't break the bank.
I like to solve problems and be where people, art, and Jesus meet. http://maggiebenson.com
A tight space but really chill and romantic to take a significant other for a special night out. Exceptional food that won't break the bank.
Beautiful modern atmosphere for coffee. A great place to bring people from out of town to show off the mad Minnesota roaster's skills!
I would go here for the atmosphere over the food. But still equally worth it. All American, safe menu for picky southern eaters. 😅
I didn't use to be a fan of ice cream, but I ate it all summer from here!
The atmosphere is the best ever in a coffee shop I've ever been in. And they serve beer too! 🍺 for creative work, ☕ and 🍵 for study time.
I never knew what fresh fish tasted like until I ate here. With the exception of camping trips of course. 👍
Best sushi in town. Other places are good too, but I feel like Ichi Tokyo gives bigger fish portions in their rolls. ;-)
The roof is great in the summertime! More open space. It can get crowded inside when the weather is cold.
New location at the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester! Foursquare will update soon.
Ask for the Panang Curry extra spicy! They also said about any dish just ask for your spicy preference and they can accommodate. :D
Hibachi is fantastic here! Even in comparison to the Woodruff Road location which was also great. Sushi has nice big fish helpings. Hopefully you get Lauren as your server too. ;-)
The guest wifi password is "original".
Never again, will I be taken in by transmission fluid and power steering fluid changes. My dad said those almost never need changing, just topping off. And here's me, $275 later...😤😭😖
The crab avocado rolls are the best appetizer! The space is small but definitely the place to cozy up for an intimate and classy date.
The Philadelphia Collins is easily my favorite gin drink in town. If you are a G&T type drinker, this will be an even classier twist!
This is my most favorite place to eat sushi!! Sushi Nishiki is ok too, but I think here at Ichi Tokyo that you get slightly bigger fish portions in your rolls. All-you-can eat lunch, 15.99!
Parking and entrance is in the West lot until construction is finished on the East side. We are still here!

Rain Dance
Everybody wang chung tonight! Er, I mean, everybody rain dance! What moves! I'm sure all Native Americans are proud of this interpretation of their sacred rituals.
I love the fact that they got Darth Vader to do the spoke-word intro.

Am I the only one that sees they are using ASL? Sign Language for the deaf?
Posted by Rusty on 11/29/12 at 04:11 PM
@Rusty - I just saw this and was about to post the same thing. Some of the movements are exaggerated as pronunciations/phrasing is in vocal singing and some are stylized as there are not signs for every single word and fingerspelling them would interrupt the flow of the piece and be too difficult for an audience to see. Many churches and schools have "sign choirs" for deaf people to participate in. They can keep the beat by feeling the vibrations through the floor. The loudest place I ever was was a party with a group of deaf people--they cranked the music - wired through an amp - up to "11" (Spinal Tap anyone?) so they could dance. I couldn't take it for very long.

Millennium Stadium Tour
Experience the build up before the match in the Dragon's Lair, Wales' team dressing room. Hear the roar of 74,500 fans as you walk down the players' tunnel towards the hallowed turf. Learn about the only palletised pitch system and fully retractable roof in the UK, which allows the entire playing surface to be removed to create one of the world's largest indoor arenas. Take in the view of the pitch from a VIP hospitality suite, and finally lift the trophy to the skies like a sporting superstar in the President's Box, an area normally reserved for royalty.
Please Note: The pitch is not always in situ for the purpose of viewing on the stadium tour, especially during the summer months, when this area is used for other events.

OKC nickname coming Sept. 3
It will have been a full two month wait, but the new Oklahoma City NBA franchise is set to announce its team name, colors and logos on Wednesday, Sept. 3, the team announced today.
The name, colors and logo will first appear on the team's Web site, www.nba.com/oklahomacity, at 5 p.m. central time next Wednesday. The team also will hold a simultaneous unveiling event at the franchise's headquarters at Leadership Square in downtown Oklahoma City.
The uniform designs will not be released next week.
Following the event, new team merchandise will be on sale immediately in the team's store on the building's ground floor. It will be the only retail location fans can purchase merchandise next Wednesday.
I think we'll all be shocked if the name is anything but Thunder at this point. Mike Baldwin will have more details in Thursday's editions of The Oklahoman and on-line at NewsOK.com.
In other news, OKC forward Nick Collison talks about the relocation and his feelings about leaving Seattle, where he has played for his entire career and will continue living in the off-season. You can read his thoughts here.
Also, I've wanted to weigh in on the Dream Team vs. Redeem Team argument since Sunday but honestly don't have much thought-provoking analysis to contribute. Simply put, the Dream Team, in my opinion, is hands down better than the Redeem Team. But I was just a young fan who idolized those guys back in '92. So since I can't go beyond that, I'll leave you with a more thorough analysis from SI.com's Jack McCallum, who actually covered the Dream Team rather than simply gush over its stars.

why would you go back to 1984 when most of the company's growth happened in the last seven years? In 2005 Apple's market capitalization was $65 billion today it's over $400 billion.

I just think that Apple has its work cut out for it in the smartphone market (China recently surpassed the US as the biggest smartphone market and how's Apple doing in China?). Tablet market, it dominates that's a given but smartphones I'm not convinced. Apple's recent problems in Europe are widely known (still not as bad as Nokia where market share got cut in half in 2011). iOS is getting dangerously close to 20% in France and Germany which represents 5-10% decrease in the last year the opposite of what's happening with Android in those markets. In Germany Android is something like 3X the market share of Apple which should mean a lot considering Germany is Europe's biggest market. Germany has been a hostile place for Apple (just look up the patent ruling in favor of Motorola) so it could be a while before Apple makes up any of the share losses.
Should've elaborated in the first sentence, the US and UK (and maybe a couple others like Australia, Canada) are the only major developed countries in which iOS is gaining market share (as far as I know, please correct me if I'm wrong). That doesn't mean iOS isn't still doing well in other markets like Japan where it is still over 30%. Just check out Apple in South Korea, not only is it far behind the leader but it isn't gaining share. China and Brazil are adding tens of millions of people to the working class every year, and iOS is not showing share growth there either as one would expect.Jan 9, 2012. 08:40 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Apple does seem a bit overvalued at over $400 a share if you consider it losing market share in Europe and most of its success limited to the USA and UK and it still has work to do in emerging markets.
But there's still the iPad which has anywhere from 60 to 90% of the tablet market which could grow from 29 million in 2012 to a couple hundred million by 2015.
The book value value in the article doesn't factor in cash which it could use to takeover many of its smaller competitors. There's also a lot of intangibles which give value to the company that don't really show up on the balance sheet (itunes, icloud) nokia, motorola don't have them. However Apple should be spending a lot more on research and development than it does (less than double Research in Motion).Jan 5, 2012. 10:22 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Stock Market Outlook: Silver Signaling Danger Ahead [View article]
US mint silver sales were up 15% in 9M11 while gold sales were down 20% meaning there's nothing wrong with investment demand for silver. Gold is still attracting record demand from ETF's (nearly 70m oz) and central banks in Russia, Mexico, Belarus even Colombia. Before getting out of precious metals ask youself has Greece or South Korea sold any of theirs? Greece can't afford to lose asset value, central banks see low prices as an opportunity to buy more and so should you. When global debt becomes insurmountable in 2013 precious metals will become invaluable since central bank buying will skyrocket.Dec 29, 2011. 06:02 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

I still consider the 20-30's generation of today as having some advantages over other generations. They are the ones that graduated around the turn of the millenium when popular culture, lifestyle, technology, even careers changed most dramatically in the last 50 years. That gives them a unique perspective that all generations will eventually come to value.Dec 28, 2011. 02:10 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
liquidation suggests nothing went right for the company (considering it has no debt problem). not true: released bb7 products (sales of which were seen as healthy by the royal bank of Canada) bb7 is 40% faster than bb6 and twice as fast as bb5. latest quarter bb sales near record high of 14.1m. earnings outlook is no worse than Nokia or Motorola but could actually be better considering the high end phones are proving popular in markets like Indonesia. 2/3 revenue comes from outside the US so positive outlook for the company there has to be taken into consideration. has not fallen behind any company (by much) in the corporate market and still has yet to introduce bb10 qnx phones.
apple and google have pulled ahead over the last two years but rim has not fallen behind any of the other companies, all of which are valued much higher especially on a p/e ratio basis (the 5 year net present value calculation is great to discuss but apply it to the other companies first and you'll find that it's an unfair metric to use to value Rim).
the .51 includes $400m loss from tablets so smartphones did ok (better than Nokia worth twice as much).
"the product they release will be three years behind the market"
how do you know? QNX will probably have much improved resolution (better than iphone), seemless zooming and scrolling. BB7 os is 40% faster than bb6 bb10 would at least match what the other companies are offering.
- 14.1 million (ties company record) in the 3rd compared to 10.6 million blackberrys in the 2nd is less phones ? Don't forget that the US becoming an increasingly smaller share of the global smartphone market and Rim is doing great abroad.
The article presents a case based on Rim being liquidated and people think that's fair. They have yet to report a loss in any quarter (unlike Nokia with a 21X p/e ratio going on 3rd straight losing quarter) have patents which $200B google is suffering from not having (HTC on verge of getting some android products kept out of US because google doesn't have certain patents), Nokia doesn't even have its own viable operating system while Rim could have 2 within a year, Rim's Belagio phones (expensive = higher margins) gaining popularity in developing countries, subscribers up 35% in 2011, 64% of revenue from outside the USA but for some reason its entire future depends on its performance in the American market? 3X price to earnings ratio is a hard to sell but Nokia 21X is tolerable? motorola 39cents per share is ok but Rim 51 cents is horrible, LG and Motorola losing the same market share in the USA as Rim in the July to September period but no criticism.
Apple and Google may be better positioned for the future (right now) than Rim but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with Rim's products to suggest the company is about to fold. It doesn't have debt problems, countinues to have strong market share globally and still has a piece of the US pie including a near tie with Apple in the corporate market (no other company comes close). apps aren't a problem anymore either because rim allows Androids apps on its own (unlike google and apple though users start out with only essential apps helping battery life).Dec 22, 2011. 03:45 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
Rim's current market valuation assumes the worst and doesn't take qnx into consideration at all (without qnx the company would not be worth less, don't listen to pessimists Motorola and Nokia have nothing more to offer than Rim). Earnings are a big issue for a lot of smartphone companies, considering Rim's 51c per share earnings takes into considering $400 million in tablet loss last quarter the smartphone business did a lot better than it's given credit for.
Company has refused takeover offers from Vodafone, Amazon. How do you expect the owners to sell if they won't even allow management changes ? Ultimately that could be great for the stock because a takeover would have to overpay to convince owners to sell and there is a lot of interest in its patents and international popularity.
- $400m in tablet losses contributed to the .51 eps. if .51 is so bad I wonder what Motorola's 39c and Nokia's losses are. of what you'd think of iphone4s being popular despite not being profitable enough for US Cellular to refuse carrying it.
horrible analysis. may as well also say that Nokia is only worth -$10/share and that google paid 10 times more for Motorola than it's worth based on earnings and realistic projects (Microsoft can't even hold onto its 5.8% oem mobile market share, that's with Rim already in double digits).
google will not gain market share over rim in the corporate market because that would involve completely revamping their encryption security. 90% of American companies hacked in 2010 and the trouble Rim had getting its product in India and Saudi Arabia (while Apple and Google didn't have any) proves they are committed to providing their clients real encryption security.
what about the non US market? Indonesia 4th most populous country in the world and Rim remains the dominant player with six million users.
33% increase in blackberry sales 3rd qtr over 2nd qtr.
google earnings fell quarter to quarter in 2011, earnings are not the only measure to use when determing a company's success, US Cellular refused to carry iphone4S because of profitabilty issues.
RIM assets up $2B quarter on quarter (latest). don't underestimate the billions of dollars in patents, HTC is on the verge of being refused entry into the USA of some of its products because they rely on android platform and apple won an injunction against them in court.
Former Obama economic advisor Christina Romer cites the 1930s and WW2 to argue the government should increase spending to spark growth. She says "aggressive monetary expansion" brought growth of 10% a year from 1933-1937, with monetary and fiscal retrenchment then helping cause the 1937 recession. [View news story]
You don't get out of the mess the same way you went into it. What the last 3 years has shown is that stimulus can't correct the problem. Going back to cheap energy (coal 4 cents a kWh compared to 23 cents a kWh for renewables, China building a major coal thermal energy plant every week) and giving big companies an incentive to manufacture in America (yes, they're already rich but there's no law that says they have to keep jobs in the America, a couple extra dollars in their pockets could mean thousands of more American workers because they are capitalists).Aug 14, 2011. 10:57 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Nikki Bull (born 2 October 1981) is an English footballer who currently plays for Margate as a goalkeeper. He has previously played for Aldershot Town and Wycombe Wanderers, and also had spells at Queens Park Rangers and Hayes. He started his career as a schoolboy at Aston Villa.
Bull was born in Hastings, East Sussex and moved to Aldershot Town in the summer of 2002 after being released by Queens Park Rangers. In his first season at the club he was named player of the year and scored his solitary goal for the club, a penalty in the final home match as promotion to the Football Conference was secured. He again won the Player of the Year trophy in the 2005–06 season.
In Aldershot's double-winning promotion season, Bull was named Goalkeeper of the Year and Non-League footballer of the Year by his peers. Despite his success, he said that he would leave Aldershot no matter what happened,[1] and this was confirmed by the club at the end of the season.[2] However, on 27 May 2008 it was announced that Bull would be staying on at Aldershot for a further two years.[3] Bull played for Aldershot Town in their first game in the Football League against Accrington Stanley on 9 August 2008, which was won 1–0.[4] He agreed to leave Aldershot at the end of July 2009 to pursue a career outside of football.[5] However, he instead opted to continue his football career, and signed for Brentford on 3 August 2009.[6] The following year, he turned down the offer of a further one-year contract with the Bees, and instead agreed a similar deal with Wycombe Wanderers on 7 June 2010. On 29 July 2010, Bull put in an outstanding performance against a Chelsea reserve side, making a very large number of saves and hampering Chelsea's efforts to score, which played a huge part in Wycombe's eventual 5–1 victory.[7]
On 25 April 2011, Bull saved a penalty in a match against Crewe Alexandra at Adams Park. His save prevented Crewe from equalising and Wycombe went on to win 2–0. Bull played every first team game in both league and cup and was rewarded by winning both the supporters' and players' player of the year awards.[8]
On 9 August 2011 Wycombe were involved in a penalty shootout against Colchester United in the first round of the League Cup. Wycombe won 5–4 on penalties after Bull saved a penalty in the shootout. On 8 November 2012 Bull left Wycombe by mutual consent.[9]
After being out of football for 18 months, Bull signed for Isthmian League side, Margate.[10]
Bull kept up his goalscoring exploits for Margate by scoring an injury time equaliser in the Kent derby at Tonbridge Angels on Boxing Day 2015. Bull captained the side for the latter part of the season as Margate were promoted to the National League South via the play-offs after beating Hendon 1-0. Bull also won the Players' Player of the Season award in 2014–15.

Anti-U.S. sentiment permeates Tehran
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranians chanted "Death to America" and burned the U.S. flag after weekly prayers in Tehran on Friday despite their new president's outreach to the West and promises of moderation and easing of tensions with the outside world.
The chants, customary after Friday services in the Iranian capital, reflect the challenges facing President Hassan Rouhani as he tries to build on the groundbreaking exchanges with Washington that included a telephone chat last week with President Obama — a gesture aimed at ending three decades of estrangement between the two countries.
Rouhani's overtures have been hailed by both Iranian reformists and the country's conservative clerical leadership.
But a wide array of Iranian hard-liners opposes any improved contact with the Unites States. Diplomatic relations between the two were cut after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the storming of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, when militants held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.
During prayers Friday in Tehran, the master-of-ceremonies led the crowd into chants of "Death to America" at least twice from the podium.
The chant was then repeated several times by a group of worshippers who rallied after the ceremony, burning the American and Israeli flags, as they do almost every week.
However, Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi, a cleric who led the prayers, tried to strike middle ground, saying that America and Iran should "join hands" in a struggle to overcome sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy.
Sedighi criticized Washington over the threat of new punitive measures against Iran and urged Obama to "come and work with" Rouhani in lifting the sanctions, which the cleric said had hurt not only people in Iran but also in the wider region, the United States and Europe.

Kombucha Starter Kit
Product Rating:
Product Review (submitted on June 6, 2014):
Followed the directions to a tee.
After 30 days no re-hydration.
Tried a new batch 20 days later no live scoby.
Response from CFH: It is normal that there be very little or no visible change in the scoby and no baby scoby forming for a few batches. Please contact customer support for assistance before discarding anything, as most cultures can be saved with some adjustment.

But for all of you fans out there, IGN posted an awesome video special entitled "Dinner with Uwe Boll", which can be watched by clicking here. What else do you have to do tonight? Next up for Boll is In the Name of the King, which is adapted from 'Dungeon Siege'.

I don't know - bringing out an M-lens compatible digital doesn't seem like a bad idea to me - a lot of "purists" may want (or think they need) digital, but have a lot invested in lenses, and this way Leica doesn't lose customers for those who go in that direction.
Mind you, with the crop factor of a smaller-than-full-frame sensor, it's not quite the same (and I think Leica did come out with M8-specific lenses as well).
However, I occasionally read some of the Leica/rangefinder forums eleswhere, and while many Leica fans seem to like it, a decent number complain about it regularly as well - in particular, apparently the M8 has issues with a magenta cast in pictures - "fixable", of course, digitally, but annoying to many who spent quite a bit for the camera.
