I went into a apple store today with my fiance to look at ipads, we went and picked up the first one we saw and a webpage was pulled up that was ****. I was not happy with that at all. I just wanted to make apple aware of this so maybe they can put filters on the internet in the store.

Fort Zombie is a focused-scope, casual RPG title in which the game world revolves around a single building – your fort – and the mission specific chunks of the small town that surrounds it. Instead of a major city or a vast countryside, player's focus their efforts on building up a single structure, finding and training survivors, and venturing out into town looking for supplies.

Orcas are the top predator in the sea and have an extremely broad diet, including fish, gulls, penguins, turtles, squid and marine mammals, even including large whales such as grey and blue whales (2). They spend their life in stable groups, called pods (2), which hunt co-operatively (6). Long-term studies off Canada have shown that orcas occur as 'transient', 'resident' or 'offshore' populations, which have different hunting styles and social organisation (4). Orcas are extremely active and acrobatic; they are one of the fastest animals in the sea and often breach (clear the water), lobtail (slap the tail flukes on the surface of the water), and spy-hop (bring the head out of the water) (4). Females become sexually mature in their teens and produce a single calf every three years until they reach around 40 years of age (6). After the gestation period of up to 17 months, calves are suckled for about a year (6). Killer whales live to between 50 and 100 years of age (6).

Great perfume free shampoo for people like me who can't use any scented products
This is the best product that I can find that is truly scent free. The conditioner is perfect for my thick, tangly hair. I have tried several other scent free shampoo and conditioner, including ones purchased at a salon, and none compare to this product. Also, with my hair being thick I find I do not have to use a lot of the product. I also find that this shampoo does not seem to wash out my dye as quickly as other shampoos, I can go longer inbetween colors. I've been using this product for about 3 years now. I also do not ever switch up my shampoo and conditioner. I have found that my hair is softer and managable. My hairdresser also has commented on how soft my hair is.
Hooray for unscented products! This shampoo lathers and cleans really well - you only need a little! Start with a small amount and increase if needed. I was initially concerned over the small amount in the container (compared to other brands), but this shampoo goes really far. The conditioner is lovely too.
Either this or the conditioner that goes with it is making my sensitive scalp dry and itchy. It made my fine long hair look okay, but nothing special, it is not particularly moisturizing. The search continues.
Hair feels very dry while rinsing it out and I'm not thrilled with the scent (even though it's technically unscented!) But the matching conditioner solves the problem on both fronts. My hair feels and looks clean after using the pair, can't say that about other unscented shampoo I've tried, I've usually had to shampoo twice for it to cut through the oil in my hair.
This is by far the best natural shampoo I have tried. A little goes a long way and it lathers really well. Love that it is unscented!
Dries out my hair way too much, even with the use of conditioner after.
I'm happy with the shampoo. I am asthma-sensitive to fragrance, and I tolerate this well. It lathers up well enough and gets my hair clean.
very happy with this shampoo, doesn't lather very well which is to be expected...my hair is clean and very manageable after using this. i would recommend
Lathers well and liked that it was fragrance-free... however, over time I felt it left a build-up and after washing my hair did not look clean. (I have long, fine hair with an oily scalp) This formula was not right for me.
I'm a man who is very happy with this product. I have problems with fragances. I use it for it's intended use and it also lathers well enough for shaving.
Our office is fragrance free. One of the few fragrance free shampoos I have found. Very happy with the results.
I started using this shampoo with the conditioner this month, I like it, its so mild that I notice that my scalp is not itchy anymore and my dandruff lessen a bit. I do have sensitive scalp and this shampoo and conditioner helps me. Thank you I might purchase this product again.
Great product. My scalp is no longer dry and flaky. My hair is shiny. It really lathers well for an organic shampoo, which means it lasts longer because you don't have to use very much! I will definitely keep buying this.
I love the Desert Essence Shampoo with Green Apple and Ginger, but with extremely sensitive skin and scalp psoriasis, I can't use it on a daily basis. Thought I would try their organic, fragrance-free product and am so glad I did! It lathers sumptuously, has no noticeable fragrance, and leaves my hair shiny, soft and clean; best of all, my scalp is absolutely not irritated. I would highly recommend this shampoo to anyone who has skin sensitivity or reacts to fragrance.
This is a great shampoo. It lathers up really well and you don't need to use much. It cleans well and is safe for the whole family. It doesn't dry out my hair and it also doesn't leave any greasy build up. Just squeaky clean and healthy looking. My husband asked me to keep buying it and I definitely will. It's simple and effective. Just what a shampoo should be.
Great fragrance free shampoo. I don't really like strong scents in things and this one doesn't really smell like anything. It also lathers well and I don't have to use that much of it. My hair feels soft and it doesn't make my sensitive scalp itchy like some products do.
I'd like to give this 4.5 starts but I don't have the option!! I used to use Jason fragrance free products but can no longer find them. Well what a good thing I couldn't! This shampoo is WAAAAY better. I get easier cleaning, I have to use less product, and my hair is MUCH cleaner than with the Jason brand. I am ridiculously sensitive to fragrances and I do not react to this shampoo. I'm super pleased with it. The only reason I don't give it 5/5 is that I have to do two shampoos to get a clean result. I am not a very oily person, and I can't use any styling products because of sensitivities, so I am not sure why this is the case. I have long hair, so maybe that has something to do with it? I am not sure. But what a great product. I am entirely pleased!!!
Stumbled upon a recommendation for this shampoo as a solution to dry, flaky scalp and decided that for $10 and free shipping it couldn't hurt. Within a week I had noticeable results and my hair feels healthier now than ever, even when I was using salon quality products.
I can't recommend this shampoo enough. It's fantastic for someone with really sensitive skin.
I just love Desert Essence shampoo and so does my husband. It does not have a fragrance which I am sometimes allergic to. The ingredients are pure and natural and being an organic-type person, it really suits. We don't use anything else for shampoo.
Nice shampoo. Lathers really good and rinses clean, no odour either. Hair is shiny and soft.
Great product. I have sensitive skin and can't use products with fragrance, and this shampoo is one of my favorites! It lathers up really well with just a small amount (dime size). Big fan of this stuff.

text: The task is to prove that for no two matrices A and B, A*B - B*A = I, where I is the identity matrix. I tried multiplying by the inverses of A or B, but that doesn't seem to lead to a more manageable form. The only way I see this could be done is by writing down all n*n (assuming n by n matrices) linear equations. It's easy to do when n = 2, but the same contradiction may not be as obvious for higher n. I hope there is a more intelligent way to go about this.

Let's begin by implementing a tiny application that displays a short message.
Creating a Simple Request Handler
Create a directory named
helloworld. All files for this application reside in this
Inside the
helloworld directory, create a file named
and give it the following contents:
This Python script responds to a request with an HTTP header that describes the content and the
Hello, World!.
Note: Ensure that you save the files you create as plain text. You may encounter errors otherwise.
Creating the Configuration File
An App Engine application has a configuration file called
app.yaml. Among other
things, this file describes which handler scripts should be used for which URLs.
Inside the
helloworld directory, create a file named
app.yaml with the
following contents:
From top to bottom, this configuration file says the following about this application:
- This is version number
1of this application's code. If you adjust this before uploading new versions of your application software, App Engine will retain previous versions, and let you roll back to a previous version using the administrative console.
- This code runs in the
python27runtime environment, API version
1. Additional runtime environments and languages may be supported in the future.
- This application is
threadsafeso the same instance can handle several simultaneous requests. Threadsafe is an advanced feature and may result in erratic behavior if your application is not specifically designed to be threadsafe.
- Every request to a URL whose path matches the regular expression
/.*(all URLs) should be handled by the
appobject in the
The syntax of this file is YAML. For a complete list of configuration options, see the app.yaml reference.
Testing the Application
With a handler script and configuration file mapping every URL to the handler, the application is complete. You can now test it with the web server included with the App Engine Python SDK.
Start the web server with the following command, giving it the path to the
helloworld directory:
$ <path-to-Python-SDK>/dev_appserver.py helloworld/
The web server is now running, listening for requests on port 8080. You can test the application by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
Iterative Development
You can leave the web server running while you develop your application. The web server knows to watch for changes in your source files and reload them if necessary.
Try it now: Leave the web server running, then edit
helloworld.py to change
Hello, World! to something else. Reload http://localhost:8080/.
To shut down the web server, make sure the terminal window is active, then press Control-C.
You can leave the web server running for the rest of this tutorial. If you need to stop it, you can restart it again by running the command above.Explaining the webapp2 Framework >>

The Australian navy ship Ocean Shield, which is dragging a towed pinger locator from the U.S. Navy, and the British navy's HMS Echo, which has underwater search gear on board, will converge along a 240-kilometer (150-mile) track in a desolate patch of the southern Indian Ocean, said Angus Houston, the head of a joint agency coordinating the search.
The plane's data recorders emit a ping that can be detected by the equipment on board the ships. But the battery-powered devices stop transmitting the pings about 30 days after a crash — meaning searchers have little time left before the batteries on Flight 370's black boxes die out. Locating the data recorders and wreckage after that is possible, but incredibly difficult.
Houston acknowledged that the clock was ticking for search crews.
"The locater beacon will last about a month before it ceases its transmissions — so we're now getting pretty close to the time when it might expire," he said.
The area the ships are searching was chosen based on hourly satellite pings the aircraft gave off after it vanished from radar March 8 on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. That information, combined with data on the estimated speed and performance of the aircraft, led them to that specific stretch of ocean, Houston said.
"The area of highest probability as to where the aircraft might have entered the water is the area where the underwater search will commence," Houston said. "It's on the basis of data that only arrived very recently and it's the best data that is available."
Because the U.S. Navy's pinger locator can pick up black box signals up to a depth of 6,100 meters (20,000 feet), it should be able to hear the devices even if they are lying in the deepest part of the search zone — about 5,800 meters (19,000 feet) below the surface. But that's only if the locator gets within range of the black boxes — a tough task, given the size of the search area and the fact the pinger locator must be dragged slowly through the water at just 1 to 5 knots, or 1 to 6 miles per hour.
Finding floating wreckage is key to narrowing the search area, as officials can then use data on ocean currents to try and backtrack to the spot where the Boeing 777 entered the water — and where the coveted data recorders may be. Those devices would provide crucial information about what condition the plane was flying under and any communications or sounds in the cockpit.
Despite weeks of fruitless searching, Houston said he hadn't given up hope something would be found.
"I think there's still a great possibility of finding something on the surface," he said. "There's lots of things in aircraft that float."
Fourteen planes and nine ships were taking part in Friday's hunt across a 217,000 square kilometer (84,000 square mile) expanse of ocean, about 1,700 kilometers (1,100 miles) northwest of Perth, the Joint Agency Coordination Center overseeing the search said. Several ships also had helicopters on board.
The search area has shifted each day, as the investigative team continues to analyze what little radar and satellite data is available while factoring in where any debris may have drifted due to ocean currents and weather.
"I think we've probably got to the end of the process of analysis," Houston said. "And my expectation is that we're into a situation where the data we've got is the data we've got and we'll proceed on the basis of that."
Houston said it was unlikely that any additional pinger locators would join the search any time soon as they are in scarce supply.
Although Australia is coordinating the ocean search, the investigation into the plane's disappearance ultimately remains Malaysia's responsibility, though Australia, the U.S., Britain and China have all agreed to be "accredited representatives" of the investigation, Houston said.
Four Australian investigators were in Kuala Lumpur to help with the investigation and ensure that information on the aircraft's likely flight path is fed back to search crews, Houston said. The two countries are still working out who will be in charge of the analysis of any wreckage and flight recorders that may be found.
On Thursday, the HMS Echo reported one alert as it searched for sonic transmissions from the missing plane's flight data recorder, but it was quickly discounted as a false alarm, the search coordination center said. False alerts can come from animals such as whales, or interference from shipping noise.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott met with staff on Friday at the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, which is running the search efforts, and acknowledged officials have no idea how long the hunt would continue.
"It is probably the most difficult search that's ever been mounted," Abbott told staffers. "A large aircraft seems like something that would be easy enough to locate — but a large aircraft that all but disappeared and disappeared into inaccessible oceans is an extraordinary, extraordinary challenge that you're faced with."
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, whose government has been harshly criticized by some victims' families for giving sometimes conflicting information about the flight and for the slow pace of the investigation, vowed during a visit to Australia this week that no effort would be spared to give closure to the families of those on board.
But Sarah Bajc, the American girlfriend of passenger Philip Wood, said a briefing on Thursday for Malaysian and other non-Chinese relatives by government and military officials at a hotel near Kuala Lumpur provided no new information and that some of the families had lost faith in the Malaysian government.
"They continually contradict themselves," Bajc said on Friday of the officials. "It's impossible to trust anything they say anymore."
Eileen Ng and Gillian Wong reported from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Associated Press writers Rod McGuirk in Canberra, Australia, and Kristen Gelineau and Rohan Sullivan in Sydney contributed to this report.

Manufacturer: Martin (View all products by Martin Saddlery)
Model: Trail Saddle (View all Trail Saddle reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: After purchasing a "trail horse" we went on the hunt for a good trail saddle that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Many "stop-n-looks" revealed very inexpensive saddles that really didn't have the quality we were looking for OR very expensive saddles that just didn't fit our budget. We came full circle to our local tack & saddle shop called the "Rocking B Cowboy Supply" in Bellville, Texas where we purchased the Martin Trail Saddle. Not content just to buy a saddle and hope that it would fit the horse, we requested the Rocking B hold it until we could bring the horse in for a "fittin'". Well, we did just that and the folks at the Rocking B took plenty of time to help us check the fit and we had a deal. We purchased this saddle for $850.00 two years ago (2-15-2005) and have been extremely pleased with its looks, comfort, function and durability. We periodically give it a good soaking and rub-down with Lexol Leather Conditioner and it looks good as ever.
Likes: The Martin Trail Saddle has the look and feel of quality all the way through to the rawhide wrapped wood tree. It fit the horse very well and is very comfortable to sit in and ride.
Dislikes: I've owned this saddle for about two years and have not found anything that I didn't like about it.
Quality: Superb, excellent quality. The horse and I both like it a whole lot.
Summary: You can compare this trail saddle's quality to more expensive trail saddles and this saddle will not let you down. Can you spend more on a trail saddle? Yes, but it will not fit and function better than this one.

STAAR Surgical Reports Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results Visian® ICL™ Revenue Increases 15% Year over Year Gross Margin of 70.4%, 190 Basis Points Above 3Q 2011 $2.5 Million in Cash Generated from Operations; Cash Position Increases to $19.8 Million PR Newswire MONROVIA, Calif., Oct. 31, 2012 MONROVIA, Calif., Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --STAAR Surgical Company (NASDAQ: STAA), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of minimally invasive ophthalmic products, today reported that sales of its Visian ICL product portfolio in the third quarter ended September 28, 2012 increased 15% to $9.1 million. Total revenue was $15.9 million, up 4% from $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2011. Gross margin of 70.4% was 190 basis points above the 68.5% margin in the third quarter of 2011. The year over year gross margin improvement continues to reflect the increased contribution of Visian ICL sales, margin improvement in ICLs based on increased prices and lower cost of goods for both ICLs and IOLs. Net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, was $90,000, or breakeven on a per diluted share basis, compared with net income of $77,000, also breakeven on a per diluted share basis, in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted net income (excluding manufacturing consolidation expenses, gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, fair value adjustment of warrants, and stock-based compensation expense) for the quarter ended September 28, 2012 was $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share versus adjusted net income for the year ago quarter of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Cash and cash equivalents at September 28, 2012 totaled $19.8 million, the largest amount in the history of the Company. This represents an increase of $2.2 million in cash from the end of June despite the increased investment spending in sales and marketing personnel and manufacturing consolidation of $1.7 million during the quarter. "Visian ICL revenues during the quarter were strong in most of our key focused markets as compared to prior year," said Barry Caldwell, president and CEO. "ICL sales were up double digits in all three of our regions: North America, Asia Pacific and Europe. Our transition to a direct selling model in Spain resulted in a sales increase of 72% year over year. ICL sales in China did show a partial rebound with an increase of 52% during the quarter. Reports continue from the majority of refractive surgeons in China that patients are still asking questions about the safety of refractive surgery due to the negative media focus on the complications of LASIK during the second quarter. We just completed a special training session for ICL users in China which should help drive our rebound during the fourth quarter and into next year. In addition we also saw strong Visian ICL increases in Japan, India, and the U.S. These positive dynamics were partially offset by weak sales in Korea, our largest market. For the first time we saw the demand from our distributor to end-customers less in the quarter than the prior year. Excluding Korea our ICL sales increased by 26% in the rest of the world. We are in the process of hiring a direct employee in Korea to work with our distributor on a day to day basis to help grow our ICL franchise. Additionally, a strategic session with our distributor focused on both the short term and long term ICL growth will take place this weekend in Korea." "IOL sales declined by 8% from the third quarter of 2011," continued Mr. Caldwell. "We believe this may have been partially driven by a decline in cataract procedures evidenced by the third quarter results and reports of the two largest competitors. The decline in IOL sales was evenly spread throughout all three regions. We did begin shipping the KS-SP, our Single Piece Preloaded Acrylic IOL, for the limited launch late in the quarter. The feedback from customers has been very good which has led our key distributors to increase their forecasts for the product significantly. We will continue to have limited supply during the fourth quarter but should be able to catch up with demand during the first half of next year. We are still awaiting clinical feedback from customers on the new nanoFLEX® Toric IOL. This should be completed during the fourth quarter. "The third quarter was a solid quarter for the Company despite lower revenue results than expected," concluded Mr. Caldwell. "With the exception of one market, our Visian ICL sales were quite strong and we continue to make progress on getting new IOL products to market which will help return these products to a growth position. While we are making significant investments in our future, we are still generating good cash and have the largest cash position in our history at nearly $20 million. Our investments this year in additional sales and marketing personnel will help increase our growth rates in 2013. Our investments in manufacturing consolidation will help generate continued expansion of our gross margins and provide significant tax benefits starting in 2014." Recent Visian Implantable Collamer® Lens (ICL) Highlights oThird quarter Visian ICL sales grew to $9.1 million, a 15% increase from $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 which was 31% higher than the third quarter of 2010. There was also a favorable mix of TICL® (+12%) versus ICL (+8%). oICL sales represented 57.4% of total sales, the highest percent in the history of the Company, as compared to 51.8% of sales in Q3 2011. oSales in the European region grew 17.5%, led by increases in Europe from Spain, Italy and the U.K. oVisian ICL with CentraFLOW™ technology represented approximately 82% of total ICL sales to just the European markets during the third quarter of 2012. Total ICL sales in Europe grew 29% during the quarter. oThere have now been over 7,000 implants of the Visian ICL with the CentraFLOW technology in Europe and it is performing as expected. oRecorded sales have not seen the benefit from the increased premium for the ICL with CentraFLOW technology due to the decline in the Euro since the launch of the product. oDuring the third quarter of 2012 the Company completed its transition to a direct distribution model in Spain, where revenue increased 72%. oICL sales in the U.S. increased by 11.5% during the quarter due to increased promotional activities including initial benefits from our social media activities. oSales to civilian sector accounts increased by 20% while military sales of ICLs during the quarter declined 12% from the prior year due to a year-end military order during the third quarter of 2011. oMilitary ICL sales did increase by 92% as compared to the second quarter of this year. The Company expects to see continued improvement in military ICL sales in the fourth quarter due both to returning surgeons and the expansion of surgeons using the Visian ICL. oSales in Asia Pacific market increased 15.5% led by Japan, China and India. oJapan grew 56% with unit growth of 113% reflecting a higher percent of sales from the two major refractive centers. oChina returned to growth though not at the same rate as previously experienced. ICL sales increased by 52% compared to the average 95% quarter growth over the past two years. oIndia continues to show strong growth as ICL sales increased by 24% during the quarter. oICL sales declined by 15% in Korea due to lower than expected consumer demand as reported by the distributor. Recent Intraocular Lens (IOL) Highlights oThird quarter IOL sales decreased 8% to $6.1 million compared with $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, with IOL sales decreasing in all three regions. oThird quarter results from major competitors in the IOL market seem to indicate that overall global cataract procedures declined during the third quarter as compared to prior year. oLower than expected sales in Japan and Europe were partially due to the lack of the KS-SP Preloaded Single Piece Acrylic IOL which was launched late in the quarter. The KS-SP initial limited launch in Europe has been very successful and European distributors have significantly increased their forecasted purchases for 2013. The Company anticipates continued supply constraints during the fourth quarter. oThe results of the limited launch of the nanoFLEX Toric IOL have not yet been completed and the Company expects to complete the limited launch during the fourth quarter. oIOL gross margins improved to 60% as compared to 59% during the third quarter of 2011. These margin increases were seen in Collamer® and silicone IOLs. There was a slight decrease in the global average selling price as compared to prior year. Third Quarter Financial Highlights oTotal net sales in the third quarter were $15.9 million, a 4% increase over $15.3 million in the third quarter of 2011. Net sales were negatively affected by over a $90,000, or 11%, decline in sales of the "other" product category, primarily legacy products. oCore product sales of ICLs were up 15% and IOLs were down 8% year over year during the quarter. Core product sales (IOL & ICL) grew 5% year over year from $14.5 million. oGross margin increased to 70.4% of revenue compared with 68.5% in the prior year's third quarter. The increase reflected a higher mix of ICL to total sales of 57%, as compared to 52% during the third quarter of 2011, due to the higher mix of Toric ICL sales, improved average selling prices on ICLs and a 100 basis point improvement in IOL margins. oTotal operating expenses were $11.3 million, a 16% increase over $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. The increase of $1.6 million in operating expenses was due to the increased year over year investment spending in sales and marketing of $1.1 million and $0.6 million on the manufacturing consolidation project. The investments from sales and marketing should show positive revenue gains in 2013 and the manufacturing consolidation project should show positive gains in gross margins and tax during 2014. oMarketing and selling expenses also included a $0.4 million charge associated with the transition from distributor to direct sales model in Spain. oManufacturing consolidation expenses, labeled as other general and administrative expenses, were more than expected in the quarter as the Company moved forward accruals for projected severance payouts next year. Total consolidation expenses projected for the year are now approximately $2.5 million as compared to the previous estimate of $2.3 million. oNet inventories have increased by $0.9 million since December 30, 2011 and by $0.5 million since the close of the second quarter on June 29, 2012. This inventory increase is to assure there is an adequate safety stock of product as the Company transfers manufacturing to the U.S. oOther income was $220,000 versus an expense of $446,000 in the prior year period. This was driven by gains on foreign currency transactions, decreased interest expense and a decrease in the fair value of warrants. oGAAP net loss in the third quarter of 2012 was $90,000, or $0.00 per share, compared with net income of $77,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted net income was $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income during the third quarter of 2011 of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. oCash and cash equivalents totaled $19.8 million at September 28, 2012 compared with $17.5 million at June 29, 2012 and $16.6 million at December 30, 2011. The Company generated $2.5 million in cash from operating activities during the third quarter. Second Half 2012 Key Metrics Update Below is an update on the Company's progress against the second half key metrics: 1.Increase in revenues of Solid Double Digit Growth. a.The Company expects its year over year fourth quarter growth to exceed its third quarter growth rate. However, a solid double digit growth for the second half would be beyond the Company's current forecast. 2.Increase in Visian ICL revenues of 25%. a.The Company is expecting strong Visian ICL revenue growth during the fourth quarter. However, without a solid rebound in Asia Pacific markets a 25% growth rate for the second half would be beyond the Company's current estimates. 3.Continuous expansion of gross margins to achieve 71% for the full year. a.With the 190 basis point improvement during the third quarter and estimates for the fourth quarter the Company should achieve this metric for the full year. 4.Achieve profitability in Q3 and Q4. a.Though the Company was breakeven during the third quarter on a GAAP per share basis, the Company's estimates for the fourth quarter would result in profitability for the second half and the full year. 5.Implement manufacturing consolidation with no disruption to customer quality or supply requirements. This metric will be measured by the amount of customer backorders. a.This continues to be favorable and the Company expects it to remain so during the fourth quarter as well. b.Since some expenses were pulled forward from 2013 the spending level was higher than projected for the third quarter and will be so for the full year. Key Operational Updates oGood progress continues on the Manufacturing Consolidation Project which is planned to be complete by the end of 2014. oDuring the quarter the Company began manufacturing non-sterile silicone IOLs for Japan in the U.S. The transfer of non-sterile silicone IOLs is expected to be complete in November and sterile transfer phased in during the first quarter of next year. oThe Company expects to build the first Visian ICLs in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2013. oThe Company expects several employees from Switzerland and Japan will be willing to take on special assignments in the U.S. for periods of one month to one year to further assist in the transfer activities. oThe effective tax rate beginning in 2014 is expected to be approximately 10% based upon these transfers and the continued expansion of the gross margin percentage will be enhanced. oThe Company has invested by adding 14 of a now expected 17 new hires in the sales and marketing area. The remaining 3 positions are expected to be filled during the fourth quarter. oThe Company expects to see a return with enhanced revenue growth during 2013 as all 17 will be trained and productive in their positions. oDuring the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting there were over 100 clinical presentations on the Visian ICL. oVery strong clinical presentations were given illustrating the success of over 7,000 Visian ICL implants with the CentraFLOW technology. oThe Company also announced during the third quarter the plans to lease approximately 26,000 square feet which will directly adjoin the current 44,000 square feet in Monrovia, California. oThis is expected to create a more productive working environment which will allow for enhanced productivity. oThe Company expects to spend approximately $700,000 on tenant improvements during the fourth quarter. Conference Call The Company will host a conference call and video webcast today, October 31, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern / 1:30 p.m. Pacific to discuss the Company's third quarter 2012 financial results and recent corporate developments. The dial-in number for the conference call is 877-941-8609 for domestic participants and 480-629-9692 for international participants. The Company will also be using slides to illustrate its third quarter 2012 results and operational progress. The slides and live webcast of the call can be accessed from the investor relations section of the STAAR website at www.staar.com. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes supplemental non-GAAP financial information, which STAAR believes investors will find helpful in understanding its operating performance. "Adjusted Net Income" excludes the following items that are included in "Net Income (Loss)" as calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"): manufacturing consolidation expenses, gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, the fair value adjustment of outstanding warrants issued in 2007, and stock-based compensation expenses. We believe that "Adjusted Net Income" is useful to investors in gauging the outcome of the key drivers of our business performance: our ability to increase sales revenue and our ability to increase profit margin by improving the mix of high value products while reducing the costs over which we have control. We have excluded manufacturing consolidation expenses because these are non-recurring expenses and their inclusion may mask underlying trends in our business performance. We have excluded gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and the fair value adjustment of warrants because of the significant fluctuations that can result from period to period as a result of market driven factors. Stock-based compensation expenses consist of expenses for stock options and restricted stock under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.123R. In calculating Adjusted Net Income STAAR excludes these expenses and the fair value adjustment of outstanding warrants because they are non-cash expenses and because of the complexity and considerable judgment involved in calculating their values. In addition, these expenses tend to be driven by fluctuations in the price of our stock and not by the same factors that generally affect our other business expenses. We have provided below a detailed reconciliation table, which is useful to investors in providing the context to understand our Adjusted Net Income and how it differs from Net Income (Loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Safe Harbor All statements in this press release that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including statements about any of the following: any projections of earnings, revenue, sales, profit margins, cash or any other financial items; the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations or prospects for achieving such plans; statements regarding new products, including but not limited to, expectations for success of the new ICL, KS-SP and nanoFLEX Toric IOL products in the U.S. or international markets or government approval of new products, the outcome of product research or development of future economic conditions or performance, size of market opportunities, expected savings from business consolidation plans and the timetable for those plans; statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These statements are based on expectations and assumptions as of the date of this press release and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include the following: our limited capital resources and limited access to financing; the negative effect of unstable global economic conditions on sales of products, especially products such as the ICL used in non-reimbursed elective procedures; the challenge of managing our foreign subsidiaries; backlog as we prepare for our manufacturing facility consolidation; the risk of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rate; the discretion of regulatory agencies to approve or reject new products, or to require additional actions before approval; unexpected costs or delays that could reduce or eliminate the expected benefits of our consolidation plans; the risk that research and development efforts will not be successful or may be delayed in delivering for launch; the purchasing patterns of our distributors carrying inventory in the market; the willingness of surgeons and patients to adopt a new product and procedure; patterns of Visian ICL use that have typically limited our penetration of the refractive surgery market, and a general decline in the demand for refractive surgery particularly in the U.S. and China, which STAAR believes has resulted from both concerns about the safety and effectiveness of laser procedures and current economic conditions; the impact of the federal presidential elections, or the upcoming "fiscal cliff," in the United States. The Visian Toric ICL and the Visian ICL with CentraFLOW are not yet approved for sale in the United States.

Unfortunately this eBook is only available from within Australia.
An estimated 5 million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally, OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don't respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return.
In Brain Lock, Jeffrey M. Schwartz presents a simple four-step method for overcoming OCD that is so effective, it's now used in academic treatment centers throughout the world. Proven by brain-imaging tests to actually alter the brain's chemistry, this method doesn't rely on psychopharmaceuticals. Instead, patients use cognitive self-therapy and behavior modification to develop new patterns of response to their obsessions. In essence, they use the mind to fix the brain. Using the real-life stories of actual patients, Brain Lock explains this revolutionary method and provides readers with the inspiration and tools to free themselves from their psychic prisons and regain control of their lives.

Grasping of a tumbling target satellite (DEOS/TECSAS)
We consider three modes of operation for the grasping of a tumbling satellite: tele-operated, autonomous and semi-autonomous. The tumbling motion of the target satellite is justified by a malfunctioning of its control system, for which a small constant rotation and nutation may result.

Motion Parameter Estimation for a Tumbling Satellite using a Model Based Approach
In this section a brief overview of the methodology considered for the motion parameter estimation for a tumbling satellite is described.

Path planning for free-floating robots – from local workspace to global workspace
The path planning method developed to date involves an optimization algorithm which, to minimize the spacecraft fuel expenditure, makes full use of the free-floating robot dynamics. Free-flying robots will eventually have to move out of their free-floating status, for which the base body is not actuated, to be able to reach points outside of their local workspace.

Development of Tele-operation Control for a Free-floating Robot during the Grasping of a Tumbling Target
this section some of the work carried out on the development of a simulator for the implementation of the inverse kinematics of a free-floating robot with a redundant manipulator (7 DoF) is presented. Note the distinction between free-floating and free-flying, being that for the former control actions on the base body are absent, while for the latter they are not.

Portland General Electric has withdrawn two of its requests for zoning code changes in Columbia County. The Oregon utility will proceed with the purchase and development of the Lower Snake River Wind Project Phase II and ask for zoning changes next year, as part of the Planning Commission's annual docket of code modifications.
The Union-Bulletin previously reported that a hearing on proposed zoning changes was scheduled for Wednesday, June 26, but county planner Kim Lyonnais said that hearing is no longer necessary, as the proposed changes will not be considered until next spring.

As the building industry embraces sustainable design practices at a rapidly increasing rate, the professionals involved are increasing their knowledge and inventing new technologies just as quickly. This is the change that is necessary in order to work towards the goals of mitigating climate change, minimizing the negative impact on the planet, and creating healthy environments; but there is still a sizeable piece missing in the puzzle. The main barrier preventing the design of truly green buildings is not a lack of technology or information. The challenge is the stubborn existence of a design and construction process which is not holistic—it does not capitalize on the increasing knowledge and innovation each team member can offer.
Widespread acceptance of the integrated design process is the missing piece needed to catapult the design and construction industry into a trajectory of deep green, even restorative, buildings and communities.
The main topics covered will be:
Participants will walk away from this Webinar with a clear understanding of integrated design, how to introduce the process to project teams, its advantages (and disadvantages), and tools for overcoming the collective hesitation to shift out of the comfort zone of the routine process.

The Secret Service used to be run under the Treasury Department. It was moved to the Department of Homeland Security. Given that this was a cabinet established during the Bush administration, it seems a little too inexperienced to administer such an important function. Also, sequestration resulted in reducing the ranks of SS agents. Perhaps the agents that protect ex-presidents for the rest of their lives should be reassigned to add protection to the current president. As someone who was not quite a teenager when Kennedy was assassinated, this harkens back to the nightmare that was when it occurred.
But they did have beer! The oldest recipe found in recorded history was for beer. You'd think Rat would smile more.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Turns out, when people visit Grand Junction they tend to enjoy it so much they come back again and again.
This year's study from the Grand Junction Visitor and Convention Bureau shows more than 80% of visitors had visited previously, and of that number, more than 40% had visited Grand Junction more than seven times.
Officials with the GJVCB say that's good news for our community, and it shows Grand Junction's hospitality has got a good hold on potential clients.
The numbers are especially good for the community because it shows visitors are likely to repeat on our economic gains, like spending money at local shops, restaurants, and hotels.
KKCO firmly believes in freedom of speech for all and we are happy to provide this forum for the community to share opinions and facts. We ask that commenters keep it clean, keep it truthful, stay on topic and be responsible. Comments left here do not necessarily represent the viewpoint of KKCO 11News.powered by Disqus

Soundworks have been behind some big names in film such as John Carter, The Hunger Games and Prometheus. The company were also responsible for creating the magic sounds in Disney Pixar's Brave. Brave is the first movie ever to use the Dolby Atmos sound format, more info on that in this very lengthy white paper.
This wonderful featurette gives us the front row seat to the behind the scenes life of sound on the film. Soundworks had their work cut out for them, unlike live action movies there's no sound captured whilst shooting.
"Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts."
This SoundWorks Collection sound profile talks with Director Mark Andrews, Re-recording Mixer and Sound Designer Gary Rydstrom, Supervising Sound Editor Gwen Yates Whittle, and Sound Designer E.J. Holowicki. Brave's voice cast features Kelly Macdonald, Julie Walters, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane and John Ratzenberger.

Lawrence Vickers, FB: During his five short seasons in the NFL, Vickers has already been a part of several potent ground games. He's been the lead blocker for three different offenses that finished in the top 10 in rushing yards, and he's blocked for four different 1,000-yard rushers: Jamal Lewis (twice), Peyton Hillis and Arian Foster. Foster was named to the 2011 Pro Bowl thanks in part to Vickers' blocking skills, and Vickers himself was an AFC alternate in 2008.

The day is finally here! High definition DVDs are moving in and those ol' DVDs are gettin' kicked to the curb. (just joking) Toshiba has officially started selling their first HD DVD player...too bad it is only in Japan. The HD-XA1 is selling for 93,436 yen ($795) but it comes packaged with high-def copies of Resident Evil and Moonlight Jellyfish (an extra star goes to anyone that has seen this.) Unfortunately, the cheaper HD-A1 is no where to be seen.

Alas, more and more we seek the few places yet unspoiled. But only to find out that the reason we even know they once existed is because it's been "discovered".
And having been discovered, they've been "spoiled".
Doesn't seem as if there are many places left on the poor planet to "wonder" about anymore, does it?

TimNed Drops New Single "Black Diamonds" Featuring Marz McFly
On his rise to the top of the rap game, Houston's own heavyweight rapper Tim Ned drops a hot single tiltled "Black Diamonds" featuring Marz McFly. The track has a hot Houston feel that will prep this talented artist for his is heavily anticipated upcoming album @TimNed. "This song is to let everyone know that this is my time and my era, said TimNed."
TimNed is an aspiring independent rap artist that is constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity as shown in "Black Diamonds". "I ultimately think about how music will sound in the next 10 years, I always think out the box with my ideas and I just explore them. I connect with my fans through a sound that cannot and won't be denied, said TimNed."
No stranger to the music industry, TimNed has been a fixture in Houston working with a mixture of artists. From producing tracks for Houston's all-star rappers Slim Thug and Lil KeKe to producing and featuring on Grind Mode by the Los Angeles all-star rapper Nipsey Hussle. He released an explosive single called No Cruz, followed by an interview with Drank Epidemic, which allowed his fans to know who TimNed is as an artist. The response he received from dropping his breakout single Chuck Taylors, landed him a product endorsement deal with the globally recognized shoe brand Converse.
Now, TimNed is eager to see the response he gets from his newest Houston feel single "Black Diamonds" featuring Marz McFly, available for purchase on March 14th, 2014. While he is on the verge of releasing @TimNed, his most-anticipated project to date.

1. Re: HIP8.0 - Trusted NetworksKary Tankink Feb 10, 2014 10:59 AM (in response to jaroslav_vykoukal)
First Question:
My understanding is that Trusted Networks should take priority over all other firewall rules, but then I somehow fail to understand what is hidden under this "Trusted" value under creation of new rules.
Except for TrustedSource exceptions, Trusted Network entries, by itself, does nothing in the HIPS Firewall (i.e., the IP addresses are not "whitelisted" for traffic). In order for a Firewall Rule to apply to the list of networks in the Trusted Networks policy, you must create a firewall rule and set the Local/Remote Host to "Trusted".
Second Question:
I have had in past few systems where even thou I have had in Trusted Networks specified ranges. System was not able to access ie. Printer even thou it was fitting the range.
See #1 above. If you did not have a Firewall rule for "Trusted", the network traffic would not be allowed for Trusted Networks. VPN traffic should be allowed via Firewall Rules above any Location Aware Group (same as the Allow Loopback traffic rule).

Thanks a lot, seems that for some reason I totally omit this due to problems with TrustedSource ratting .
Make sense and again thanks !
