Have you ever heard of the phrase "Purse on the floor, always be poor"? Probably not... I propose a new version of this old adage: "Phone on the floor, always be poor" I can say from personal experience that nearly every time I have left my phone on the floor I have become slightly less [...]
I love gadgets. I love my Wii. Since the release of the Nintendo Wii in November 2006, there has been several gadgets developed to make the whole Wii experience even better. When I found out that Brando stocked many of these accessories, I begged Julie to ask Brando for the opportunity to try some of [...]
Like several gadgets that I have reviewed, I am often attracted to products originally designed for children. Many children's gadgets are brightly colored and are simply designed which makes them visually appealing. The ShowerPets Starfish Water and Temperature monitor naturally fits into these categories, Plus... Who wouldn't want a starfish to hang out in your [...]
iPods are a great way to lessen the monotony of exercise. Their compact size makes them easy to carry with you nearly anywhere. However, electronics and water tend not go together which makes using an iPod while swimming problematic. After my recent arm surgeries I have have been swimming regularly as rehabilitation. It's a good workout, but quite boring. Since one of my new year's resolutions is not to electrocute myself, I was very interested in trying out the Otterbox iPod Swim Kit.
Working in the technology industry, I get a fair amount of products in the mail. Over time, I have become less enthusiastic about package deliveries. I love opening boxes and trying new things, but I no longer obsessively check tracking numbers multiple times a day or intercept the delivery man as he is walking up to my sidewalk. However, there are still a few products that I await the arrival of with bated breath: in this instance, a Vaja leather case for my iPhone.
I'm such a loser. All my friends and family agree with me: I have a terrible habit of losing USB thumb drives. Not only have I left them in the most unlikely of places, but I have also laundered them, stepped on them, and even left them out in the rain. A few of the drives I've owed over the years have included a neck lanyard, but I've never used them because they look so ugly.
In my mind I have two classifications of gadgets: ones that are tools and ones that are toys. Most of my favorite gadgets are both.
In preparation for a upcoming review, I needed to buy an infrared thermometer. I debated buying one of these "touchless" thermometers a few years ago, but eschewed the idea because the few available for consumers were expensive, bulky and rather ugly. Professional models, like the Fluke 63, were less unsightly but even more expensive and cumbrous.
I am a huge fan of white LEDs. Light Emitting Diodes are bright, compact, and require little power, which makes them perfect for small spaces. While reorganizing my utility closet last winter, I became frustrated that it did not have any built-in source of light. Briefly contemplating the idea of rewiring of my house, I decided to look for a battery powered light source made to stick to a wall or ceiling.
Since when does the package need to resemble what is inside? I for one wouldn't like fish-shaped sushi or a cow-shaped hamburger. So why do electronics cases have to be the same shape as the gadgets they protect? So when I saw that Speck made a toroid-shaped case for the Gen 2 iPod Shuffle, I thought it might be fun to give it a try.
"Don't worry honey, I just fed the dog for today"
"Um.. I already fed the dog two hours ago!"
This type of conversation is a common one in my household. From feeding the dog to cleaning out the fridge, it can be complicated to keep track of it all. When I saw the DaysAgo timer, I knew that I had try one as soon as possible, so that we could stave off potential canine obesity in my household.
Even though the iPod is the most popular MP3 player, each person's iPod is unique on the inside. The iPod's clean exterior design makes it another perfect canvas for customization.
I'm a big fan of USB gadgets. From the whimsical to the practical, I find them all fascinating. When I saw that Elgato condensed one of their EyeTV tuners into a USB dongle, I began to daydream of watching live network TV while sitting in a coffee shop or in a laundromat. "Never again will I miss an important football game!" I thought to myself while handing over my credit card.
Canvas, Cordura, Leather, Silk?
No, there is nothing wrong with your RSS feed, you are reading a review on silk gear bag. Yes, it is indeed possible to have a practical bag made of silk.
Some cellphone cases are designed to be stylish, some cases are designed with function in mind. Some companies eschew size for durability and design cases to conform with military specifications for protection against impact, dust, and water. Otterbox is one of those companies.
Hard plastic cases have become very popular accessories for MP3 players, cell phones and other types of handheld electronics. They provide protection as well as personalization for the gadgets that we love and abuse daily.
I've recently had to give several presentations using MS PowerPoint and Keynote. Although nothing replaces preparation and knowledge in a successful presentation, a good gadget can go a long way to give your lecture professional polish.
When I recently replaced my Powerbook for a Macbook Pro, I realized that the laptop compartment of several of my gearbags was too short in length to accommodate my new machine. I've been looking at Knomo's line of bags for several months and my new upgrade was to perfect excuse to give the Cholet a try.
Power adapters. These bulky bricks are a necessary evil for electronics, even more so for gadget lovers. My gear bag is daily weighed down by several power adapters and when I travel my bag contains at least 5-6 adapters.
Many devices are now able to be charged via USB or Firewire, but on a laptop ports can be a premium. Additionally, many laptops do not charge external devices while in sleep mode.
Over the past few years, I have evolved to a new level of gadget collecting: buying gadgets for my gadgets. What seemed to be a innocent iPod purchase has turned into entire lifestyle. My Un-met iPod Need: I have been looking to replace my component-based stereo system in my dining room. My existing system [...]
Summertime in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is mosquito city. I have an ornamental pond in the backyard which is an attraction to mosquitoes to lay eggs.

When I first received my iPod as a gift, I did not think I would get much use from it. After all, there is a pile of dust gathering upon the myriad of portable tape and CD players ( I even have a Diamond Rio 600 still in its box) that I already own. Then, [...]

Good caption. I'd rather like to do this route.

For anyone viewing this photo to check the route line, this is not the proper Wall Of Flame, which actually comes in from the left along the thin seam (first crux), then makes tricky moves up to the overlap past where the top runner is (second crux without any side-runners in Black Streak). The proper crux still lives above at the top of the shot but the bottom climbing is a significant part of the route (and quality).

|ダイマル Daimaru
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #316
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Daimaru (ダイマル, Daimaru) was a shinobi from Sunagakure.
Daimaru was a young shinobi from Sunagakure who grew up alongside Temari. He quickly fell in love with her, seemingly not intimidated by her relation to the Fourth Kazekage or Gaara. Because he couldn't express his interest in her, he used to bully her. Some time later, Daimaru died during a C-rank mission.
Daimaru seemed to think very highly of his own, referring to himself as the Red Sand Cloud (赤砂塵, Akasajin, English: Red Cloud of the Dust). He disliked being ordered and also expressed a dislike towards Konoha shinobi such as Torune. When faced with Temari, he readily confessed his feelings for her, thinking he had nothing to lose. Despite being rejected, he still took it good-naturedly, even saying farewell to Temari as he was sealed.
Daimaru was a fairly plain looking man with light purple eyes and light brown hair which was covered by bandages and his purple forehead protector. He wore the standard uniform for Sunagakure shinobi with a hoodie underneath his flak jacket.
While deemed a failure for a reincarnation, Daimaru showed fairly capable skill. Not reckless in battle, he was one the last "failures" to be sealed. He was skilled in using Earth Release to manipulate sand, altering the landscape with it.
Part II
Shinobi World War Arc
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kabuto deployed Daimaru, who he saw as one of his weaker assets, in an attempt to unseal his other, stronger pawns. Arriving at the Third Raikage's sealing site, Daimaru shifted the sandy terrain to unset traps left behind by the Allied Shinobi Forces. When they arrived, Daimaru quickly went to see Temari, who he declared his love for after deciding that he had nothing left to lose due to being dead. In the end, Daimaru allowed himself to be sealed.
- "Daimaru" (大丸) refers to a Japanese department stores chain.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Wade Phillips would like to put an asterisk on Peyton Manning's touchdown record.
The Houston Texans' interim coach said Friday the league agreed with him that Manning's record-tying 50th TD toss Sunday shouldn't have counted because Eric Decker bobbled the ball.
The touchdown still counts, however, as does Manning's 51st TD throw. That one to Julius Thomas minutes later capped Denver's 37-13 win and broke Tom Brady's record of 50 TD passes set in 2007.
Decker said Phillips should just let it go, telling The Associated Press on Friday, "I caught it. This doesn't change anything. It's still a big catch for me and one I'll remember for a while."
Same with Manning, who told Decker after the reception with 6:57 left, "Great catch, man!"

Participating DOE Laboratories and Sites
Savannah River Site
The Savannah River Site (SRS) is dedicated to maintaining the highest possible safety standards. It is a key Department of Energy (DOE) industrial complex responsible for stewardship of the environment, the enduring nuclear weapons stockpile, and nuclear materials. More specifically, SRS processes and stores nuclear materials in support of the national defense and U.S. nuclear nonproliferation efforts. The site also develops and deploys technologies to improve the environment and treat nuclear and hazardous wastes left from the Cold War. The SRS complex covers 198,344 acres, or 310 square miles, encompassing parts of Aiken, Barnwell and Allendale counties in South Carolina, bordering the Savannah River.
The site is owned by DOE and operated by Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC, a Fluor Daniel partnership. Other team members are Northrop Grumman and Honeywell, with subcontractors Lockheed Martin and Nuclear Fuel Services. About 55 percent of the site population is SRNS employees, while DOE employees represent about 3.7 percent. The rest are SRNS subcontractors and other DOE contractors, including the site's liquid waste contractor, Washington Savannah River Company; the security contractor, Wackenhut Services Inc.; Shaw AREVA MOX Services; Parsons; the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, operated by the University of Georgia; and the U.S. Forest Service-Savannah River.
Research and development is performed at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) known as the Savannah River Technology Center until May 2004. SRNL creates, tests and deploys solutions to the technological challenges facing the site and the nation.
The Savannah River Site does not conduct basic human experimentation; for example, research necessary to evaluate new treatments for cancer. However, a number of epidemiological and health studies of SRS workers, former employees, and members of the surrounding communities are currently being performed by outside research institutions such as the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).
To protect the safety and privacy of subjects participating in this research, SRS has established an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to monitor handling of health information. All of the studies being conducted by external institutions are reviewed by external IRBs prior to review by the SRS IRB. On occasion, the SRS IRB reviews human factors studies performed using volunteer workers.

The InnoDB Plugin introduces named file formats to improve compatibility between database file formats and various InnoDB versions.
To create new tables that require a new file format, you must
enable the new "Barracuda" file format, using the configuration
innodb_file_format. The value of this parameter will
determine whether it will be possible to create a table or index
using compression or the new
DYNAMIC row format. If you omit
innodb_file_format or set it to "Antelope", you preclude the
use of new features that would make your database inaccessible to
the built-in InnoDB in MySQL 5.1 and prior releases.
You can set the value of
innodb_file_format on the command line
when you start
mysqld, or in the option file
my.cnf (Unix operating systems) or
my.ini (Windows). You can also change it
dynamically with the
SET GLOBAL command.
Further information about managing file formats is presented in Chapter 4, InnoDB File-Format Management.

Precision Plus Inc., Elkhorn, would like to expand.
The company, which manufactures precision components for use in military ordnance to parts for expensive jewelry, has enough business to expand.
The question is whether the company can find enough trained employees to do the work, said Barry Butters, Precision Plus' director of training and education.
Michael Reader, president of Precision Plus, is organizing a training program to provide practical experience for high school and college students interested in the technical aspects of precision manufacturing.
Manufacturing suffers from an age-old image of being a dirty, dangerous kind of work that involves a lot of mindless repetition.
That no longer applies, Butters said.
In a recent interview, Reader said the industry needs to change its image and reach out to students who might otherwise believe that manufacturing is not for them.
A long-time teacher at Elkhorn Area High School, Butters left his position as principal of the Williams Bay High School/Middle School after just one year to take the education position at Precision Plus.
Butters said he was hired to grow a training system for interns that fills some of that gap between expectations and available skills.
Butters said that last year, while still principal in Williams Bay, he placed one Bay student, Martin Korsholm, into Precision Plus' internship program.
Korsholm is now taking engineering courses at Purdue University, Butters said.
Butters said Precision Plus is also reaching out to area schools, Elkhorn, Badger, Delavan, East Troy and Whitewater, as well as schools south of the state border.
Manufacturing is now dominated by computer programming, said Butters.
"The type of skilled labor we need has drastically changed," he said.
Precision Plus was started in 1988 by Phil Reader, Michael Reader's father.
The company operated for years with Swiss-made Turnos lathes.
Turnos lathes are precision metal milling machines, able to turn out parts for watches and other small mechanisms.
The metal stock that cuts into shape moves while the cutting elements remain stationary.
The exact movements of the stock over the cutting arms are controlled by an analog system using a turning cam.
Although the Turnos machines are 50 years old, they are still useful in producing certain parts, particularly very small precision cut pieces, Butters said.
But starting in 2000, Precision Plus began purchasing computer numeric control, or CNC, machines, which are newer, faster and even more precise than the Tornos machines.
As the name implies, CNC machines are programmed in advance.
Bar stock is fed into the machine and computer-controlled arms with a variety of cutting tools and motions turn the raw material into finished product, some of it very intricate and all of it very precise.
As smart as the machines are, the operators need to be smarter, said Butters.
"We need people who can think and solve problems," he said.
This past summer, Precision Plus began an internship program with 10 interns from both high school and college.
Precision Plus had never had interns before, Reader said.
But training is not easy to find, at least not around here.
Gateway Technical College teaches CNC technology, but only at its Racine campus, Reader said.
"If you're a fish in Lake Michigan, it's great. If you're in Walworth County it sucks," Reader said.
Butters said the company decided that it wouldn't try to be exclusive about its training.
"We decided we're not trying to find someone who might be productive in our firm, but rather we want to turn out ambassadors for our field," Butters said. "Many of these young people will go on to a four-year school."
Most of last summer's interns will probably end up as mechanical engineers, Butters said. That internship program extended into this school year, and three students, two from Elkhorn and one from Badger High School, are now spending several hours every morning before school learning hands-on about precision manufacturing on CNC machines.
In part, Precision Plus' decision to establish its own education program goes back to last year's defeat of the Gateway Technical College referendum.
The Gateway referendum that was so soundly defeated last spring would have moved some CNC training to the Elkhorn campus, Reader said.
To be fair, the referendum question included funds for more than manufacturing education.
And there were indications that some of those add-ons may have contributed to the referendum's defeat.
Gateway made it clear that the referendum was a one-shot effort. There will be no second try.
While sympathetic to those who want to keep their property taxes in line, Reader said the referendum's failure now makes it important for local manufacturers to fill the education gap.
Reader doesn't lay all the blame for the skills shortage at the feet of educators.
"The industry has some blood on its hands in the current situation," Reader said.
He said the industry business as a whole has done a bad job of advancing itself as a career alternative.
Some manufacturers are interested only in their quarterly bottom line.
But Reader also said that he and others are getting a network together to promote manufacturing as a career.
"We had to do it ourselves to drive this forward," Reader said of the education program.
Among the supporters of the education program, Reader said, is Gary Huss, president of Hudapack Metal Treatment Inc., Elkhorn.
Butters said he's working Elkhorn Area High School to develop a course sequence to teach CNC skills to students.
The company is also reaching out to Beloit Memorial High School, which made a major investment in its introduction to industrial design program.
The company is also creating a classroom with eight work stations for the interns there. The eight work stations are courtesy of a $40,000 donation from a software distributor, Reader said.
Butters said it will take some time to develop a curriculum.
However, it would be similar to what is taught in technical colleges. It might be a three-semester sequence, however that remains to be seen, Butters said.
Reader said he's also been in contact with Gateway about training inadequacies.
Ultimately, the technical colleges will have to take over the lion's share of training.
Manufacturing companies aren't set up as educational institutions, he said.
"Our people, while great machinists, may not be great educators," Reader said.
"We need to get the educators and (school) administrators here," Reader said.
Reader started drawing attention to the skills gap in local training in late 2012, when 24 area administrators, guidance counselors and educators were invited to tour Precision Plus and discuss the manufacturing opportunities available for high school graduates in the area.
With Elkhorn Area High School, Reader then organized a career panel of five manufacturing professionals and 180 students from Badger, Williams Bay and Elkhorn high schools.
The career panel led Reader to start the intern program that summer with 10 interns, which included three college students majoring in engineering, four high school graduates interested in engineering and three high school students, two from Elhorn and one from Richmond Burton High School, Ill.
Butters said students need to be informed of the availability of manufacturing jobs in Wisconsin and the United States.
He said the manufacturing industry offers trained workers a good, middle class salary, starting at $30,000 a year and going to as much as $90,000.
The days of young people going to college to find out what they want to do with their lives is over, as tuition costs force students further and further into debt, Butters said.
"Now, students have to go to school with a purpose," he said.

I have read that fasting (or eating very lightly) a couple of days per week (5:2 diet) can do wonders for one's health, the brain, in particular. There is a history of Alzheimer's in my family, so I wonder if I should start now as a preventative measure. I'm 42 and slim so I don't want to lose much weight .
THE NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST Melanie Brown
Research shows that severe calorie restriction for two days per week switches off the liver's production of a growth promoter called IGF-1, allowing DNA repair and new cells to grow. Animal research has shown an improvement in cognitive function and a slowing of Alzheimer's. I suggest a plant-based 600 calories per day for two days, and a healthy 2,000 calories on the others. Ask your GP if this diet is for you.
THE REGISTERED DIETITIAN Nigel Denby
American scientists are investigating the idea that periodic fasting may offer some protection against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Your brain relies on energy to function. When there isn't enough energy you start to feel fuzzy, confused and have difficulty concentrating. Your brain also needs a variety of vitamins and minerals from fruit, vegetables and other foods – all of these will be in short supply if you choose to fast.
THE GP Rupal Shah
It has been proposed that intermittent fasting can switch off certain chemicals called growth factors that promote cell turnover, thus, theoretically, reducing the risk of cancer. Fasting could possibly reduce the risk of other diseases, too, including cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. However, there is not enough evidence yet to confirm the benefits of intermittent fasting compared with sticking to a healthy, low-fat diet every day.

Abstract: This paper argues that open borders may circumscribe and shape women's lives in powerfully embodied ways. Bringing to light the everyday ways in which returnee trafficked women deal with the stigma and marginalisation they experience upon return to Nepal illuminates this. We argue that more academic attention needs to be given to the situation of trafficked women when they return from trafficking situations and seek to (re)establish a sense of belonging and respect.
Notes: we focus on the processes and mechanisms of citizenship, examining the interplay of state and non-state actors (national and transnational) in constructing political subjectivity in Nepal. We argue that state codifying of collective identities in relation to citizenship occurs in ways that marginalise the lived experiences, and related political rights based claims, of returnee trafficked women and the organisations that represent them.

Lincoln AM Tour golfer earns third spot at Diablo Grande
PATTERSON _ To help build his golfing resume, Lincoln's Pasquale "Pete" Sprague entered the Golf Channel AM Tour's Central California Tour to play the difficult Diablo Grande Legends course and placed third. Sprague typically plays on the Sac/Stockton Tour.
In spite of taking a 3-over eight on the fifth hole, the local player battled back with two birdies to shoot a 6-over 78. The winning score was a 3-over 75.
Sprague was solid off the tee hitting 86 percent of the fairways. He also took less than two putts per green. His weakest play was in his approach shots, except for the 427-yard, par-4 seventh hole.
"My best shot of the day was on the hardest hole on the course," Sprague said, recalling the hole. "I made my birdie and that was what sparked my fire to maintain the round I had. It was a thing of beauty."
In danger of driving the ball too far and reaching an area of tall grass about 300 yards out, Sprague's ball came to rest two feet short. His ball was lying next to the cart path on dirt surrounded by thick grass. The rules would have allowed him relief but he didn't like the spot where he would have to drop.
Sprague chose instead to hit his shot where it lay despite having to stand on the cart path. With a bunker guarding the green, he choked down on a pitching wedge for greater backspin. His shot cleared the bunker and came to rest four feet from the pin. He would make the putt.
"I had my chances and played good on a course I had never seen before," said Sprague. "I made some great up-and-downs and I really had to grind … and make some great putts to place where I did."
Sprague is working to earn a spot in the AM Tour National Championship in La Quinta this September. If he does well there he would consider a move up to the professional level but he doesn't want to jeopardize his amateur status until he's satisfied he's ready.
Sprague has been working on his game under the direction of Will Robins Golf Academy at Turkey Creek Golf Club. Robins advised him to hold off on making any moves until after nationals where he would need to finish in the top five to be satisfied he was ready to turn pro. If he moves up too soon, it would take him two years to regain his amateur status.
"[G]aining confidence is a key to taking that step and that is what I need to keep building," Sprague said. "I am just building my resume. I want that title of champion in nationals."
To move up to a pro circuit like the Pepsi Tour would also be more expensive. Sprague said he feels a victory at nationals would go a long way in attracting a sponsor to help defray those costs.

Adele has two known tattoos. Each have special meanings to her, and they are both on her left wrist, one directly underneath the other.
The One Penny tattoo
This tattoo is extremely special to Adele and is assumed to be her first tattoo. The tattoo is an obvious reference to her mother, Penny Adkins, whom Adele is incredibly close to. Adele has not often talked about the tattoo, but she has confirmed that it is in honor of her mother and has said that it is very special to her.
The three dots
Adele has also tattooed three dots (in a horizontal line) on her left wrist, below the One Penny tattoo. This tattoo is very special to her as well, as she got this one with Joy Williams of the music duo known as The Civil Wars, who were a featured act on various tour dates during her Adele Live tour, as well as performing as featured acts when she performed at the Royal Albert Hall during the same tour. She has talked about the Civil Wars before and said that they are very close friends of hers.
