"Comfortable […] and relaxing to wear, these Hybrids are nice to swing in and do free you up to a certain extent mainly because of their weight, they weigh in at only 295g in the men's variety."

"Umbria is a secret hiking + biking paradise" Top 5 Page for this destination Umbria Sports & Outdoors Tip by Trekki
Umbria Sports & Outdoors: 1 reviews and 5 photos
Given the landscape with many hills and valleys, Umbria has one of the finest hiking possibilities in Italy. Yes, of course there are the Alps in the north, but by then, these are mostly overflown with masses in summer and this often has a very much negative influence on the authenticity and serenity of the landscape. And as Umbria is not yet mass travel and hiking destination, it is definitely a much more desirable place for those who seek almost untouched nature.
From what I could see during my (road) trip, Valnerina (Parco fluviale del Nera) is one of the most fascinating ones for longer or shorter hikes. Near Assisi is famous Monte Subasio, the highest peak nearby with extended oak forests. And for the ambitious mountaineerers Monte Sibillini in Le Marche (at the eastern border of Umbria) offer any kind of alpine-like hiking (Monte Sibilla is 2175 m).
On my way to Orvieto, I drove along river Tevere, which looked gorgeous for all kind of hiking, cycling and water sports as well. It is Parco fluviale del Tevere.
The website "Parks.it" is a good start to look for more details and other parks as well. As Le Marche and Umbria are so close and many parks are at their borders, I suggest to check both:
National Parks in Umbria,
National Parks in Le Marche.
When it comes to cycling, Umbria offers tours for every level of experience. The hills and valleys are maybe more for the mountainbikers, but Valle Umbra is perfect for the ones who prefer less hills. And given a very much relaxed traffic in Umbria, cycling tours will not end in hospitals. I found that Umrian traffic is extremely "non-Italian". No one races. You can book guided bicycle tours or bring your own (or rent one) and travel on your own.
Some possible itineraries are given on these websites:
cycling Umbria (1),
cycling Umbria (2) ,
cycling Umbria (3) ,
cycling Umbria (4) .
Or if you check the website bikemap.net, you'll find an abundance of routes, the users did describe (if the language does not jump to English, change it in the menu top right hand side):
cycling pathes.
Update January 2009:
I just found another excellent page with biking tours in Umbria:
Bike in Umbria
This one is even better, you can chose between the "types" (easy, medium, difficult) and then pick out the routes according to a clickable map. The single routes are described with detail map, profile, sights to see and downloadable GPS profiles and detailed roadbooks. Excellent!! Avaliable in Italia, English, German and Spanish.

Are your pets sensing impending labor?
My female cat has been obsessively watching over me. She is always cuddly (rag doll) but this is more... Clingy. She has to be with me all the time. My male cat always wants to be near me a lot more than normal but not quite so obsessively.
The funny thing is when I being baby home, this female cat will be so angry at me, she won't come near me for days/weeks. She has just started warning up to Tori in the past year and she still hates Lucas. She will likely go out in the garage and just cry for a few days. So funny.
Anyone else's pets acting funny?

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills and Erie County agreed in principle to a one-year lease extension that would allow the team to continue playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium next season.
County executive Mark Poloncarz announced the agreement Wednesday after Bills CEO Russ Brandon raised concerns about the lack of progress in negotiations to reach a long-term deal, and with the current lease set to expire July 31. Poloncarz said the agreement was reached after he and Brandon spoke on Monday.
The announcement came after Brandon went public by informing The Buffalo News that negotiations had stalled in a story published Wednesday morning. Brandon then repeated his concerns in an interview with The Associated Press.

Famed Centolire Goes Bankrupt, Closes
Let's call it a taxing situation.
Just a few weeks ago, it became clear that the Bolognese was probably going arrivederci, and now it is confirmed that Pino Luongo's Centolire will indeed close because of bankruptcy. "We will close the business," Luongo confirmed on June 1. Italian food seekers will be forced to compensate with meals at Locanda Verde, which the famously sharp-tongued Luongo once called, "the worst Italian food I ever had in New York." [Bloomberg]


text: 268 FXUS63 KAPX 290804 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 404 AM EDT SUN MAY 29 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 401 AM EDT Sun May 29 2016 Overview: Progressive short wave trough axis is swinging through the upper Midwest and into the far western Great Lakes region this morning. Broader area of surface low pressure is across the upper Midwest with some semblance of pre-frontal troughing working into lower Michigan. Main cold front resides from western Wisconsin down through Iowa. Deep S/SW flow ahead of this system has maintained a fairly moist boundary layer across the Great Lakes with sfc dewpoints currently holding in the 59 to 65 degF range, and we still have a fair amount of MLCAPE out there this hour (several hundred J/KG across NE lower MI per SPC meso analysis page) although a good amount of CINH as well given the time of day. Meanwhile, sharply defined dry slot has punched up into the western Great Lakes ahead of the parent upper low. Combined with daytime heating on Saturday, helped to spur on the earlier line of convection from Wisconsin into Illinois. That activity died quickly upon reaching Lake Michigan. But there is yet another thin line of showers that has spread up from SE lower Michigan through Saginaw Bay area and up along the Lake Huron coast into NE lower MI apparently along that axis of modest instability nosing up through the area. Today: Convective development late morning through the afternoon is of course the main forecast issue. But first off, will have to account for remnant showers rolling up along the Lake Huron coastline. Not a big deal, but will has some low end chance pops through early morning. Then, upper level short wave trough still expected to swing through the region late this morning through the afternoon, with the strongest upper level height falls taking shape across Upper Michigan/Lake Superior. Attending surface low advances across Lake Superior and into Ontario by evening with the surface cold front slipping through the region this afternoon. We should have a decent amount of instability to work with this afternoon especially across NE lower MI where warmest temps (back into the lower 80s) and highest dewpoints will be found, with forecast soundings suggesting 1000-1500 MLCAPE across NE lower michigan assuming we can keep those dewpoints up around 60F. But, overall QG-forcing for ascent is rather unimpressive this afternoon while low level convergence with the front itself gets a bit muddied as winds turn a bit more SW behind our pre-frontal trough. Still, cannot rule out the chance for showers/thunder just about anywhere in the CWA this afternoon. But I have focused the better chances across NE lower Michigan and particularly along the Lake Huron coast where added low level convergence off the lake will be had. Severe weather threat: I`m not wowed. But the combination of decent instability, some modest 0-6 KM bulk shear values pushing 40 knots and freezing levels largely under 11K feet does support a marginal severe storm threat across NE lower MI as depicted by Day 1 SPC outlook. Tonight: Upper trough and attending surface low continues into Ontario. Wrap around/deformation forcing/precip (currently across northern Minnesota) will be sliding through Upper Michigan and parts of far northern lower Michigan through the evening. Thus will maintain chancy pops for showers across those areas before ending precip overnight. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) Issued at 401 AM EDT Sun May 29 2016 ...Dry early part of the week then turning wetter for midweek... High Impact Weather Potential: Minimal through Wednesday. Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: Split pattern continues across North America...with an active southern branch with short wave troughing over southern California and moving into the midwest...with tropical cyclone "Bonnie" getting funneled toward South Carolina. To the north of the tropical storm is an upper level ridge extending northwest from the Atlantic up across the Great Lakes and into northern Canada. Northern branch upper low spinning over British Columbia...pinched between the aforementioned ridge axis and another closed high over Alaska. Short wave trough moving into the midwest has an associated surface low over southern Minnesota...with a trailing cold front back into the southern Plains. Midwest short wave trough will track across the Great Lakes over the next 24 hours...while trough over British Columbia will advance very slowly east into the northern plains by midweek and eventually reaching the upper Lakes in the Thursday time frame. A cold front will be draped across Lake Superior and adjacent portions of Ontario Monday...and will likely sag into Michigan Monday night into Tuesday as a short wave trough ripples by the forecast area to the north. Primary Forecast Concerns: Increasing rain chances toward midweek. Monday...A drop in boundary layer humidity is expected for Memorial Day Monday with dew points expected to fall into the 50s. Should be a decent bit of sunshine with highs expected to range from the upper 60s over parts of eastern upper to the lower 80s over northeast Lower. Height falls passing by to the north of the forecast area will push a cold front south and into northern Michigan Monday night into early Tuesday. Not expecting much with this feature initially...with generally clear to partly cloudy skies expected Monday night and lows ranging from the mid 40s to lower 50s. Tuesday...Short wave trough will move into the northern/central plains states Tuesday...with some short wave ridging out ahead of this feature. Cold front will likely lie across lower Michigan though instability looks pretty thin and think we can squeeze out another dry day and will maintain that forecast trend. A little uncertain as to how quickly rain chances will increase across northern Michigan as upstream short wave trough will make only slow progress toward the upper Midwest/upper Great Lakes. Will bring chance PoPs into much of the area Tuesday night for the time being. Extended Forecast (Wednesday through Saturday)...Upstream short wave trough will still be...well...upstream of Michigan Wednesday though associated cold front will probably be inching into the forecast area Wednesday night. So will continue with shower/thunderstorm chances for Wednesday and will probably be a warm and sticky day. Will keep precipitation chances in for Thursday given uncertainty regarding frontal timing across lower Michigan (it is possible that Thursday could end up being dry). Will dry things out for Friday/Saturday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1119 PM EDT Sat May 28 2016 ...VFR... Isolated-scattered showers will continue to work through NE lower over the next few hours with minimal chances for thunder. Meanwhile, a line of showers and storms was fairly rapidly deteriorating as it crosses Lake Michigan. Not expecting much to come to the NW lower airports, but TVC/MBL are likely to see some remnant showers in the vcnty around TAF issuance. Cannot rule out the chance for showers and maybe even a rumble of thunder for the entire course of the night, with moist southerly flow and small disturbances aloft. The chance is too small to include in the TAFS however. The better shot comes Sunday, possibly in two phases. The first within an axis of deepest moisture and instability associated with a trough axis from late morning into early afternoon. The second comes with the arrival of a cold front later in the afternoon. Exact timing is difficult to discern at each airport. There is a chance that a storm or two could become severe, with hail and damaging winds being the primary threats. LLWS will continue through dawn...with gusty southerly winds again Sunday. && .MARINE... Issued at 401 AM EDT Sun May 29 2016 Some gustier SW winds will be found across the region today particularly from Manistee up through Sleeping Bear Point. May need to hoist another SCA for that area today. Otherwise, winds and waves should largely remain under headline criteria. Winds turn a bit more westerly tonight through Monday and again with perhaps some gustiness. But no headlines are anticipated at this time. && .APX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...NONE. LH...NONE. LM...NONE. LS...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Adam LONG TERM...JPB AVIATION...Dickson MARINE...Adam

Although the name might be quite unimaginative, the French region of Centre has lots to see and do. Containing part of the stunning Loire Valley, there are outdoor activities, historic cities, rolling vineyards, grand chateaux, and cultural attractions galore. A popular tourist destination in France, there are loads of great Loire Valley and Centre hotels for a perfect stay in this pretty place.History
A fairly modern region, it was created from bits of other historical provinces. The name is based on its position in the country – although it isn't actually in the centre at all!Things to do
Take some time to visit the numerous stately chateaux that dot the area and see how the rich and wealthy used to live in the lap of luxury. A favourite area for past Kings and nobility, the chateaux are really impressive. Some of the best include those at Chambord, Blois, and Chenonceaux. Wander the same streets as the famous Joan of Arc in Orleans and admire the beautiful cathedral and numerous historic buildings. Chartres is a real gem, with its glorious Gothic cathedral, and the wetlands of La Brenne are home to many birds and other wildlife. Explore charming villages and towns, such as Gargilesse and Loches, tour picturesque vineyards and wineries, and enjoy activities such as cycling, hiking, and fishing from the banks of the meandering river.Shopping and dining
There are good places to shop in the main cities, and given that the area is known as the Food Bowl of France you can be sure of many a delicious meal! Dine on locally grown fresh produce and get a real taste for yummy French cuisine. The tasty wines are the perfect accompaniment!Getting here and around
A cheap flight to Paris is the best way to get to this beautiful area; you could even send a few days hitting up the major sights of the capital before heading out into the countryside. Plenty of lovely Loire Valley and Centre accommodation really will leave you spoiled for choice!

This Frankenthulhu mask actually reminded me Captain Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. This one actually looks more like a combination of Davy Jones' squidy tentacles and the creepy Frankenstein. Only difference here is that this one look much creepier than either one of those characters.

OU signee Blake Bell shrugged off defensive pedigree
Blake Bell grew up in a family of defensive ends.
His dad, Mark, played defensive end for six years with the Seattle Seahawks. His uncle, Mike, was a defensive end for 12 years with the Kansas City Chiefs.
But deep down Blake Bell always knew he wanted to be a quarterback.
"I always watched Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger," he said. "I never really threw the ball much growing up, but I was always attracted to the quarterback position."
At 6-foot-6, 210 pounds, Bell sure looks like a defensive end.
But over the last two years — his first two years playing quarterback full time — he has developed into one of the top high school quarterbacks in the country.
Bell, who committed to Oklahoma 10 months ago, is rated the No. 3 QB nationally by ESPNU after accounting for 103 touchdowns passing and rushing while learning the position on the fly the last two seasons.
"I'm not too experienced at the quarterback position," he said. "For sure (QB) coach (Josh) Heupel is going to work with my mechanics. I think I have some raw talent, when stuff breaks down I can go out and make a play. But I have a lot of things I need to work on and a lot of areas where I can improve."

State losing $400M in veterans benefits
One argument in play is the vacancy rate. Critics point to the low numbers of filled beds and say perhaps as much as half are not being used.
The department contends the vacancy rate is inflated because the home in Los Angeles is just ramping up and new homes in Redding and Fresno will not admit residents until later this year. Also, not every bed is filled on purpose to make sure patients can be moved in case they become infectious with an illness.
That doesn't satisfy some critics. Veteran homes "remain an inefficient delivery model raft with bureaucratic bloat," argues Ted Puntillo, director of veteran services in Solano County.
The Little Hoover Commission, a nonpartisan state advisory panel, has already held one broad review of issues related to veteran care and claims and plans more. A much-anticipated investigation of veterans homes by the independent state auditor is expected later this spring. And the Assembly veterans committee opens the first of a number of oversight hearings on Tuesday.
"It's safe to say the status quo is not acceptable," said Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, a Torrance Democrat and committee chairman.
California is home to nearly 2 million veterans, including about 228,500 in San Diego County. Statewide, veterans in 2010-11 reaped about $4.5 billion in federal pensions and disability pay. In San Diego that figure was $779 million.
For Juan Chavez, a retired Navy captain from Poway, dealing with the federal Veterans Administration has been a frustrating experience filled with time-consuming delays given the backlog of applications.
He has some benefits after 38 years of service, including time in Vietnam and Iraq. But his injuries have become more acute over time, especially the chronic degeneration of his joints and lung damage from asbestos. So, he filed supplemental claims — the most recent in October 2011.
"I haven't had a decision yet," Chavez said. "It's been nothing but a horrendous battle with them. It's depressing and stressful.…
"They are swamped. That's what they tell me. How patient do they want a veteran to be? Two, three, four, five years?" Chavez continued. "A lot of veterans are surviving on just their retirement and benefits. If you're not getting that, your quality of life isn't what it should be after years of defending your country."
Federal delays in processing claims by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are compounding problems in getting the money into their pockets and into the local economies, say state advocates for veterans.
Federal data indicate the wait for benefits can be as much as 18 months. In San Diego County, three out of every four claims have not been resolved after 125 days.
In an email, federal officials say the department is working to speed up processing. The backlog, they said, can be traced to the growing number of veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, who routinely file multiple claims for an assortment of injuries. Also, in the last two years the department processed 150,000 claims associated with Vietnam-era Agent Orange exposure, federal officials say.
Typically, veterans rely on the chain of 56 County Veterans Service Offices to help process claims for benefits, such as service-connected disability checks and pensions.
These offices generally receive about 85 percent of their funding from counties and 15 percent from the state. The state's share is based on the amount of applications that get turned in and another check comes after the claim is approved.
Tom Splitgerber, the San Diego County County Veterans Service Officer, said his five-member team of accredited representatives each files about 400 claims a year. His office could almost double the number of claims with three to five more workers, he said.
Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego, is a member of the Senate veterans committee and said he is sympathetic to doing more given the previous lean budget years.
"Counterproductively, we've been cutting programs that have brought money to us. We had no choice," he said.
That may change given the more flush budget thanks to voter-approved tax increases and an improved economy.
"A word of caution," Block said. "This is one of many deserving programs that need to be restored now that we have a little bit of discretionary revenue."

Site of Powhatan's Village to Be on National Register of Historic PlacesBreaking News
Werowocomoco, on Purtan Bay along the York River in Gloucester County, was Powhatan's headquarters when Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America, was founded in 1607. Powhatan ruled over a native population of about 15,000.
"Werowocomoco is a place of native history that becomes part of American history during the Colonial period," said Martin Gallivan, assistant professor of anthropology at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg and a member of the Werowocomoco Research Group, which has been studying the site.
Smith and Powhatan met several times at Werowocomoco, the only place in Virginia where Smith and Powhatan were at the same location at the same time, said Randolph Turner, of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and a member of the research group.
The village also is where Smith said that, after Indians kidnapped him in December 1607, Pocahontas threw her body over his to save him as Powhatan was about to club him to death. Some have questioned the veracity of Smith's account.
Werowocomoco was about 15 miles from Jamestown. Powhatan, seeking distance from Jamestown, abandoned Werowocomoco in 1609 and moved farther west.
Today, the 45-acre site is on private land. The property owners invited archaeologists to investigate after they found Indian artifacts, including arrowheads and pottery shards.
A comprehensive archaeological survey in 2002, following the leads of historians and others, confirmed the site's identity. Archaeological excavations have been ongoing since 2003.
The National Parks Service approved the site for listing on the National Register of Historic Places this month, Turner said.
To be listed, a site must meet criteria, such as association with significant historical events or people, or possession of outstanding archaeological or architectural features.

Nearly one-fifth of the globe can't turn on the lights: "While some 1.7 billion people have acquired access to electricity globally since 1990, the rate of electrification has been slower than the rate of population growth in the most energy-poor countries. Just to get all of sub-Saharan Africa–a region that generates about as much electricity as Spain–up to levels that comparatively well-off South Africa enjoys would require 330 gigawatts of new capacity. (Power Africa should account for about 10 gigawatts.) The World Bank estimates that it would take $1 trillion a year in global investment to eliminate energy poverty by the year 2030–more than twice what is being spent now. And even that level of investment would guarantee the poorest of the poor only enough electricity to run a floor fan, a mobile phone and two compact fluorescent lights for five hours a day."

The Ultimate Valuation Matrix For Global Stocks
Wondering where to place your hard-earned cash next year? Feel like playing the global game of equity market Russian Roulette? The following matrix covering every sector in all developed country stock markets provides just the color you need. Based on price-to-book, US and German stocks are, in aggregate, the most expensive; and EM and South Korea are cheapest currently relative to historical P/B. Oil & Gas seem the cheapest sector overall (on the P/B basis) while Retail, Real Estate, Media, and Tobacco sectors appear richest.
Dark blue (very cheap) = current relative valuation < -1.5 standard deviations from historical average
Light blue (cheap) = current relative valuation between < -1.5 and <-0.75 standard deviations from historical average
No colour (neutral or N/A) = current relative valuation between > -0.75 and <+0.75 standard deviations from historical average
Peach (expensive) = current relative valuation between > +0.75 and <+1.5 standard deviations from historical average
Red (very expensive) = current relative valuation > +1.5 standard deviations from historical average

Europe is overbought, Asia, now including China is extremely overbought.

After leading charmed weather lives for the past three days, our reverie is about to end!{} But the{}return of summer will be gradual and not all that oppressive.{}Like{}the{}autumnal mornings with lows in the 50s and{}low 60s since Wednesday, today started out similarly cool.{} And with high pressure still in control over New England,{}we can look for a partly sunny and mild day with highs near 80.{} But a system to our south will eventually bring more clouds as we get into the afternoon and evening hours.{} Any rain in the immediate metro area will likely hold off until well after sunset.{}{} Overcast skies and much cooler temperatures are expected{}on Sunday as scattered showers are possible through midday.{} Highs tomorrow will be only in the lower 70s.
The chance of showers and thunderstorms{}will extend through Monday as we revert back to a more summer-like pattern: gone will be the cooler nights as{}the mercury{}returns{}to the seasonal norm of 70 and daytime highs aim again for the mid to upper 80s.{} High pressure{}comes back{}at midweek as do temperatures near 90.{} It'll be time to put the sweater away,{}turn the A/C back on, and be reminded that it is still summer!{}

Luis Suarez scored an equaliser seven minutes into added time as Liverpool held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Anfield, but his feat was overshadowed by a disgraceful incident that saw the striker bite Branislav Ivanovic.
After Daniel Sturridge had responded to Oscar's headed opener at the start of the second half, Suarez supplying a brilliant assist, the Uruguayan began to make a rather less admirable contribution to proceedings.
He committed a clear handball after 55 minutes to allow Chelsea to take the lead again through an Eden Hazard penalty, but it was another part of his anatomy that caused so much controversy just over 10 minutes later.
Clashing with Ivanovic in the box, Suarez took the Chelsea defender's arm in his mouth and bit Ivanovic through the shirt. Though no further action was taken by the match officials, Suarez could well find himself hauled in front of the Football Association for the shameful act.
It is not the first time the Uruguayan striker has bitten an opponent. In 2010 he was hit with a seven-game ban for a similar incident with PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal, and never played another league game for the Amsterdam club.
But for all Suarez's faults he undoubtedly remains a devastating player and deep, deep into added time he nodded the ball past Petr Cech to complete an afternoon that showcased both the best and worst of English football's most divisive character.
Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez was afforded a warm reception on his return to Anfield, with the Liverpool support offering enthusiastic handshakes and singing his name before the stadium observed a minute's applause to mark the death of Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams, who passed away this week.
Liverpool took the initiative in the opening minutes, Philippe Coutinho almost getting on the end of a cross from Glen Johnson before the right-back went close himself, stabbing the ball wide past the onrushing Petr Cech after Suarez played him in with a neat pass.
As Anfield serenaded Benitez with songs of Istanbul, his current side looked rather flat, Ramires offering a rare shot on goal when his firm drive from 20 yards made Jose Reina punch away rather unconvincingly. The keeper's handling was also faulty when he almost allowed a free-kick from David Luiz to escape his grasp from 30 yards.
However, Reina was beaten on 28 minutes by a rather unlikely source. Liverpool overlooked the spindly frame of Oscar from a corner and the playmaker drifted away from the front post to latch onto a Juan Mata delivery and divert the ball into the top corner - a similar finish to Didier Drogba's goal in last season's Champions League final.
Though Liverpool enjoyed a brief rally towards the end of the half - Suarez testing Cech with a lashed effort after Stewart Downing's neat pass before the firing another effort on target from the other extremity of the box - their bright start had faded from memory as Chelsea exerted greater control over the match.
The introduction of Sturridge brought Liverpool to life though. Within seconds of the restart he had played in Gerrard with a sublime pass, only for the skipper to be denied by an even more impressive save by Cech. Just minutes later, Sturridge rattled the frame of the goal with a vicious drive from 25 yards that cannoned off the post.
He would not be denied on 52 minutes, even if Suarez deserved much of the credit for Liverpool's equaliser. When Downing knocked a square pass to the Uruguayan he spotted Sturridge making a run in behind Luiz and, with a perfect combination of vision and technique, swept a gorgeous first-time pass over the head of the Chelsea defender and onto the boot of Sturridge, who had only to slot it home.
Suarez then began the process of self-destructing, his idiocy tarnishing the undoubted brilliance of his play. On 55 minutes he was merely clumsy, a clear handball in the area preventing Torres from getting his head to the ball, earning the striker a booking and allowing Hazard to convert from 12 yards.
But what followed on 66 minutes was completely unforgivable. Suarez clashed with Ivanovic and clearly bit his opponent's forearm. Ivanovic was rightly disgusted but Suarez escaped punishment. If the officials confirm they did not witness the incident, the FA is unlikely to be as lenient.
Substitute Jonjo Shelvey almost pulled Liverpool level when missing a brilliant chance following a sublime touch by Sturridge, but the young striker almost brought Liverpool into further disrepute with a late challenge on Ryan Bertrand that could have earned a red card.
Liverpool looked set for frustration as the clock ticked over into a seventh minute of injury time but, incredibly, Suarez ghosted free in the box to flick a header past Cech and earn his side a point.

What is the easiest and simplest way to create a decrementing timer in seconds?
Im using an 8bit microcontroller and cannot use float points or intensive processes. I need a very efficient timer.
If you need more precision than 1-second increments, you can use a platform-specific function such as
It looks like you want an asynchronous timer. On a 8-bit controller I suppose you don't have multithreading. But you probably have direct access to hardware timers; most 8-bit controllers have several. Either allocate one of the timers for your needs, or use an existing one with known period. It is as efficient as you can get.
Every time the timer ticks, you receive an interrupt. This may be every second or more frequently. Update a variable that keeps time, and return from the interrupt handler (or pass control to a chained handler if you hook on a timer used for other needs).
If the time-keeping variable is over the threshold, that's your event; take your action. Be sure not to make this action take too long, and consult your controller reference regarding actions not allowed within interrupt handlers.

ADRs these become lifesavers when the parks are full. Just knowing where and when you will eat, and that the kids wont go hungry makes the day much better!
Change of clothes. There are countless opportunities to get dirty ( Popsicle in 100 degree heat anyone??) and also they can get wet in quite a few places.
Sweaters, please please please take some sweaters with you if youll take a bus. Some buses are colder than a freezer! Ive seen many kids shivering on them!
Baby wipes! No matter the age, you WILL use them!

Hi. I tried to analyze the cause of frequent BSODS on my computer using bluescreenview and information from forums, but so far no results. Each time I get different kind of BSOD like PAGE-FAULT-IN-NONPAGED-AREA or UNEXPECTED-KERNEL-MODE-TRAP or DRIVER-IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL.
I have Win XP sp 3, intel core i5 cpu, nvidia geforce gtx 470, motherboard - asus p7h55/usb3. I used memtest to check my memory and it showed no errors.
I provided set of minidump files. Can somebody please help me to figure out the problem.

Biodiversity Buffers Fish From Climate Change
The world's fish have a secret weapon against climate change: biodiversity. Marine biologists with the Smithsonian's MarineGEO and the Reef Life Survey tracked more than 3,000 fish species around the world and discovered fish in more diverse areas are more productive, and more resilient to climate change. That's good news for the billions of people around the world who rely on fish for protein. Full article

Double Jeopardy for Chesapeake Fish
Low oxygen is already a deadly threat for aquatic life. SERC marine ecologists have discovered acidification—low oxygen's frequent companion—makes it even harder for fish like silversides to survive plummeting oxygen.
DNA Finds Fungi for Orchids
The secret is in the soil. In one of the oddest couples in the natural world, orchids need fungi to grow. But finding those fungi can be tricky, until a new study from the Plant Ecology Lab used DNA to find those fungi in more places than anyone had suspected.

I bought the "Fantastic" Ice Scraper I have now in 1982 at a gas station in Wisconsin. It's such a superior scraper that I've been careful to make sure it transferred from disposed-of vehicle to replacement vehicle four times since then. The thin, stiff, but mildly conforming brass blade slides easily between ice and glass and does so without scratching because brass is softer than glass. Oh, yeah, it still costs $2. Important: don't use it to hack at the ice because you may deform the brass blade, after which it won't slide between ice and glass well at all. – Jeff Morrow
Brass blade is the real deal. I've given these to friends and family because they are so much better than the crappy plastic ones. Brass is soft enough to not damage the glass. The blade is thin and not really sharp to the touch, but is great on ice. The plastic scrapers get dull pretty quickly and then just skip over really tough ice. – Scott Christensen
Had one of these for years and it was the best I have ever used. You just have to be careful about hitting the rubber gasket with it – it will cut. That is the reason the blade is not as wide as the blade holder. – Jim Sheafer Fantastic Ice Scraper with Brass Blade ($6) Read the rest
As a practicing magician, playing cards are just one of the many tools in our "magical toolbox." For the causal card player any pack of cards will most likely do. But for anyone who practices card magic or just plays a lot of card games, cards might be a subject of interest. If you're looking for quality long-lasting budget playing cards, I highly recommend Tally-Ho cards. They're inexpensive and can be subjected to being bent and abused, while maintaining their ease of handling. Tally-Hos' durability can be attributed to its linoid finish, which also helps prevent the cards from sticking together. Unlike most other playing cards such as Bicycles or Bees, Tally-Hos are rather resistant to warping after heavy usage. In fact, a pack of Tally-Hos I own for five years and counting, still springs and fans just like it did first out of the box. -- Jefferson Deng
[The magicians who hang out at The Magic Cafe message board seem to agree that Tally Ho cards are more durable than Bicycle cards. Another interesting thing about these cards is that the Circle back design is slightly asymmetrical, which makes the cards useful for mentalism tricks. The one negative thing about Tally Ho cards is that spectators are usually more familiar with Bicycle cards and unfamiliarity raises suspicions about whether or not a deck is gimmicked. -- Mark] Tally Ho Circle Back Playing Cards ($6) Read the rest
I feel like I've discovered a sort of breakfast unified field theory. And it's all thanks to an impulse purchase at an awesome new homesteading supply shop in our Los Angeles neighborhood, The King's Roost. My credit card discharged from my pocket like ectoplasm at a 19th century seance when I spotted the KoMo FlicFloc.
The FlicFloc manually flakes oats, wheat, rye, barley, millet, spelt, rice, sesame, flax seed, poppy and spices. The breakfast possibility it opened to me? Fresh muesli is thy name. Finally a filling and healthy alternative to my Grape Nuts addiction.
The FlicFloc is elegant and simple. There's not much to say about it. You put grain in the top, turn the handle and deliciousness discharges into a glass, thoughtfully provided. I've owned a KoMo grain mill for a year now and it's been a life changer in the kitchen. I really like having access to freshly milled whole grains when I need them. It eliminates waste as ground grains spoil. And whole grain, including oats, get bitter if they sit around too long.
And cancel the Neflix – Below is KoMo's Austrian/German design team demonstrating their products. All this video needs is Werner Herzog to narrate the English language version. Note the solar powered manufacturing facility and German breakfast porn. Also note the mouthwatering array of whole grain baked goods. -- Erik Knuzten
I wear glasses. Mine are good ones, and I have little clippy sunglass "covers" for them that are polarized and work pretty well too. But they're sorta delicate, and really take two hands to properly fix to my specs. Not ideal for driving, when I may want to stick something on quickly and with a single hand. Read the rest

Smart homes continue to get smarter and the Nest Protect Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (either battery or wired) is everything you would expect from the people who brought you the Nest thermostat.
We have had this 5 inch x 5 inch x 1.5 inch smoke and CO detector on the ceiling of our kitchen since it became available. What I think is especially cool about it is… It can be checked for readiness from a simple smart phone app indicating its state as well as that of the battery (if that's your choice of model). When it does go off for reasons other than an actual fire (like your bacon is burning) or CO2 alert, simply waving your hand underneath it, turns the alarm off. The Nest also gives you a gentle verbal warning rather than an unexpected shriek. when an actual alarm is coming. Testing consists of pressing the center most button and the Nest announces its intentions – to perform a simple test including a countdown. All steps are verbally communicated so you know exactly what's happening. Should you be a Nest thermostat user as well as a Nest Protect user, and should there be an actual fire, the Nest thermostat will shut down the gas furnace as that could be a further source of fire or ignition. And, should the alarm go off for any reason, a message is sent to your smart phone. Especially cool is that the illuminated ring around the center of the monitor acts as a night light when the lights in the room are turned out and also does such in the event of a power failure.

Let me start by saying I like coffee; strong, black coffee. Some years ago I treated myself to a proper home espresso machine. I also bought a burr grinder.

The sheer number of OXO products available and the variety of price points they are built to makes it inevitable that some of them will be duds. Indeed, over time it has become clear that the presence of the brand on an item does not necessarily guarantee good design or build quality.

This bottle opener takes a relatively mundane task and turns it into a pleasurable aesthetic experience. The beauty of this opener is in its design simplicity. It is made of a piece of wood, a bent nail and two magnets. That's it. The leverage from the nail opens beer bottles easily, one magnet catches the bottle cap and the other magnet makes it easy to mount on a fridge or other metal surface.
I have owned one for over a year and it is always my go-to bottle opener above any of my skeleton key style bottle openers. The handle is comfortable and, while the magnetic cap catching capability might seem superfluous at first, I am always grateful for it once I'm a few bottles into the evening. The mounting magnet keeps the handle open from the perspective of the plane of the surface to which it is mounted making it easy to grab in a time of need.
I was originally gifted this tool and have gifted it myself on several occasions. All recipients have reported back with delight at this opener's simple beauty and practical usefulness.
Of course, there are much less costly alternatives (including your teeth, the edge of a hard surface or the lighter trick) to opening bottles and the size of the handle does not make this tool something you want to carry around in your pocket all of the time, but that isn't it's point. This opener combines a sophisticated design sensibility with functional effectiveness that elevates the status of an every day utility to a cool tool. Read the rest
This bag has been my indefatigable mobile office for the past 2 years.
I am a train commuter navigating from Boston's suburbs into Kendall Square (MIT), Cambridge five days a week. Productivity is important to me during my commuting time and the bag offers outstanding organization and comfort to allow me to work anywhere.
This bag is loaded with organizational features, durably crafted and stylistically elegant (and customizable!). Few bags excel in all three of those critical elements. I use the large size, and while it can be roomy for lighter daily travel, having the extra space accommodates the occasional overnight trip or the large object that I need to tote into my work-space. -- Nathan Chesley

It is amazing how different the same tea tastes when you have the ability to consistently experiment with the brewing temperature and steeping time. Different teas require different brewing temps and steeping times to bring out the best flavor. I like green tea. The Breville allows you to set the temperature by degrees and the steeping time. Do you like strong tea? Set it to steep longer. Once you set it, it is all automatic. No more waiting for your tea to cool from boiling to drink it. Would like another cup of tea? The Breville will keep the tea at your set temp for 60 minutes.
Yes, this appliance is expensive. However, after using it nearly each day since November 2010, it is totally worth the money, and remains one of my favorite purchases and is very reliable. I've had zero problems with it. Breville makes great appliances, and they are very well made, with excellent customer support. -- Kevin Lindsay
I ran across these gloves when I did a bathroom remodel around 2 years ago. Basically, they are a thin synthetic knit glove that has a palm and fingertip area that's coated in a "polymer." Traditionally, I've worn those cheap rubber dipped gloves when working with tile, but these gloves are far superior. The best part of these gloves is that they are really thin and allow for all the manual dexterity that you would have in a nitrile glove, but the Gorilla Grip gloves are much more durable. They're great for wet work because they let the back of your hand breathe and dry out.
When I did tile work with them, they were really great for using with the wet tile saw. Even though they were wet, they didn't slide around, get soggy, or come apart – even when soaked in water. I've used them as a go to general purpose glove for most home improvements. Just this past week, I used them on a drop ceiling project and an attic insulation project. They were great in that they protected my hands from the ceiling tiles and insulation while allowing me to switch tools and do fine motor tasks while wearing the gloves.
These gloves are the perfect medium between a disposable rubber or nitrile glove and a heavier work glove while being better than other rubber/vinyl dipped gloves. -- Chuck Balog
I've used this laptop stand for six years after discovering it branded and sold by Targus (where it can no longer be found). After losing mine, I found it again branded under "Hercules XStand Portable Notebook Cooling Stand" and "Opteka X-Stand Ergonomic Portable Airflow Cooling Stand."
The stand is beautifully built, light (all-aluminum structure), and well-designed. It's for 15″ – 17″ laptops, and easily folds down to something you could slip into a pocket. The stand tilts the keyboard a few degrees, which is nice, but its primary use is to allow plenty of airflow under the computer for cooling; I find it substantially reduces the temperature, which is not only nice for me, it certainly helps lengthen the life of my laptops. It has to be used on a flat surface – not your lap. I use it everywhere.
The stand is far-and-away the smallest and lightest laptop stand I've ever seen, and retails online for anywhere from $15 to $23.-- Barry Schwartz
I have used this one for over a year. My grandmother was thrilled to have a couple during an extended power outage last year. When we got power back we passed the lanterns on to her friends until they had power restored. We never changed the batteries and neither did they. My grandmother gave one to all her friends last Christmas — best received gift ever. One of the best features is that it is actually bright enough to be useful. I love the hook on the bottom that lets me hang it from a fixture or pipe. (There was a huge battery shortage before, during and after the storm so now I keep a set of rechargeable batteries on hand for them.) -- Tim Stone

Stories and reflections on the Buddhist approach to life
Updates and reports from around the world
by Shin Won-suk, Korea
I have been practicing Nichiren Buddhism since 1973, and by engaging in SGI activities I have learned the importance of living a contributive life--to be concerned not only for myself but for others and for society as a whole. Taking to heart SGI President Ikeda's constant encouragement to become an asset to our local community and society, I began to think deeply about what I could do to contribute.
It occurred to me that there was no need to start with something big, but there must be something I can do using my skills and background as a landscape gardener. There is a river, the Taehwa, that runs through the city of Ulsan, where I live, which is heavily polluted. I decided to somehow help restore this river.
Throughout history, the Taehwa River has been considered a lifeline for the city's residents. However, Ulsan is one of the most industrialized cities of South Korea, and because of heavy pollution from industrial waste, the Taehwa came to be known as "the river of death."
I realized that in order to nurture a healthy environment, we must be prepared to actively protect it. Thinking of myself as "the protector of the Taehwa River," I began making time to care for the environment around the river, doing things such as developing bamboo fields, removing waste and pruning branches of trees along the river, inviting local residents and fellow SGI-Korea members to join in.
In 2008, I began serving as chair of a local ecological restoration group with over 700 registered volunteers. Once a week, I engage in volunteer work such as picking up trash from the river, cleaning up hiking trails and recycling waste materials. I also take part in educational activities to raise awareness about environmental protection in the local community such as giving lectures at universities.
Seven years have passed since I began to take action and, as a result of our efforts, the beauty of the Taehwa River has been restored. Fish are once again swimming in its waters, and herons now also make the river their home. related article Global Issues, Practical Dilemmas by Viviane Ferraz For her public sector work with the environment, Viviane Ferraz has drawn inspiration from SGI President Ikeda's writings, particularly his peace proposal of 1992, which discussed the Earth Summit and its call for sustainable development.
I hope to continue encouraging my fellow SGI-Korea members and local residents to become involved in these activities.
The challenge of reviving the environment requires a lot of time and effort. We don't always see immediate results, and at times, I do get frustrated and weary. However, what has kept me going in my efforts to help restore the environment are the simple words of appreciation we get from local residents. Moreover, as I chant every night upon returning home from a day of volunteer work, I feel a deep sense of fulfillment, which in turn becomes a source of energy to continue my efforts. As Nichiren Daishonin states in his writings, "If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way."
In Buddhism, we uphold the principle of "oneness of self and environment," meaning that life and its environment are inseparable. It is deeply rewarding to know that the small step of deciding to do something positive, and my efforts to convey to others the spirit of coexisting with nature, have led to a revival of the environment and the lives of those around me. While it's easy to be overwhelmed by problems in our communities, each of us can do something to make a difference.

You'll soon start seeing new messages on electronic road signs in Michigan. The signs will display the number of road deaths in Michigan. It's part of a new statewide pilot program by M-DOT.
The goal of the campaign is to improve driver behavior and highten focus. Studies have shown that driver behavior is a major factor in 90% of all fatal crashes.
The messages will be displayed the second Wednesday of every month, through November. State police will get the numbers from the fatal accident reporting system.
The current number of traffic deaths in Michigan is 440, which the state transportation director says is a "startling statistic." M-DOT hopes the program will be a wake up call for safer driving. they say this is a simple, inexpensive way to hopefully reduce accidents. The message will be taken down if higher priority messages like lane closures and work zone infomation needs to be provided. Several other states have used this method to try to decrease the number of fatal accidents.

Las Vegas casinos used to feast on Asian gamblers. Often, these were the "whales" – otherwise known as high rollers – that the casinos would rely upon to rack up huge profits from their casino operations.
The popularity of casino games is huge.

This has always been a hallmark of the Asian culture, and Chinese tourists were becoming a huge growth opportunity for the Vegas casinos.
But all of that is changing due to two very powerful forces. One was the financial crisis which decimated the Vegas casinos. Everyone was affected, including Chinese tourists. Now the crowds are coming back to Vegas, but there is still a problem as there are fewer Asian high rollers.
And that's due to the second factor – the emergence of Macau in China as a gambling destination. The casinos there are bigger than those in Vegas and the gambling volume has surpassed Las Vegas. Chinese whales now can stay on their own continent and get the same kind of thrill from check estrace 2mg price comparisons before you buy estrace 2mg online. read verified estrace reviews from licensed canada pharmacies. progressive jackpot slots or hours of blackjack.

"Darwin's nightmare?" Top 5 Page for this destination Danau Toba Warnings Or Dangers Tip by kokoryko
Danau Toba Warnings and Dangers: 2 reviews and 5 photos
Warning and danger? Danger is for the lake, possibly, but if the lake dies, the people will leave, and finally there will not even be visiting tourists. . .
Darwin's nightmare; if you do not know, I just can very very warmly recommend you to leave VT for an evening and watch this movie; you will look at the world and people with different eyes! A synopsis of the documentary film is here: http://www.darwinsnightmare.com/. You also can watch (low quality) on google video : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9039818938732594749
But. . . what has this story to do with North Sumatra? Well, when I had looks from far at some fish farms, I remembered that movie; and when I visited Ambarita, locals told me about fish farmers or agronomists, "experts" coming from Europe to implement fish farms and having seen what fish farming can do (to the environment, to the people; . . ) I suddenly felt unwell. I did not see horrors, I do not know if there are, may be all is well in the waters of Lake Toba and on its shores. . . . I just could see from far, installations which looked clean. . . Cannot tell more, just can be scared a bit.
There is not a lot in the press about that subject; here are two links.
Well, finally it may not be a nightmare here, and the waters of the lake are preserved. . .
You see on the first picture pontoons and cabins of farms, by tens in some places, with the pontoons reaching the shore (picture 2). So, if you see lots of cabins near the shores under the green hills of Samosir, these are not for tourists going for a bath(picture 3); you have a better idea of how the fish farms look like, when you look from above, like here, in a bay next to Parapat (picture 4), and many of these floating farms can only be reached by boat (picture 5)
