The government has launched a competition to find a partner to help bring 'mini nuclear' reactors into the UK energy market.
More than 16 firms are set to enter the Department of Energy and Climate Change competition, which aims to identify a preferred technology for small modular reactors (SMRs) to be rolled out in a series of new power plants over the next 15 years.
Companies expected to take part include NuScale, Westinghouse and Bechtel, which have already put their names forward as potential partners.
The government will choose the best SMR design at the end of the competition.
Companies have been given until 6 May to put forward their designs and business cases, with a decision on which companies will make the next round of the competition expected in the autumn.
The launch comes as the Treasury announced it would publish an SMR delivery roadmap later this year to provide clearer timeframes for the development and delivery of the technology in the UK.
This work would be supported by a £250m SMR research fund, announced by the chancellor in November's Spending Review.
Last September, the DECC opened a consultation to see how many firms would be interested in developing SMR technology in the UK.
Construction News understands that 16 firms put forward initial design plans.
In February, Construction News reported that MPower, a joint venture between Bechtel and nuclear technology specialist BWX Technologies, would be entering the race.
The firm joined nuclear giants NuScale Power and Westinghouse in going public with their intention to bid.
SMRs are seen as a more flexible option for providing nuclear power as they take less time to construct and can be built in a wider variety of locations than traditional plants.
Since 2013, the government has been vocal in its ambition for the UK to be a world leader in the SMR market, which is expected to be worth £250bn-£400bn by 2035.
NuScale Power's UK and Europe managing director said: "NuScale's SMR answers the particular needs of the UK's energy market and the wider UK economy, and we intend to participate fully in the government's competition.
"NuScale modules could be rolling off the production line in British factories and generating power for British homes by the 2020s.
"Exports to other parts of Europe would transform the UK into a hub for this innovative technology."
A spokesman for Westinghouse said: "Westinghouse welcomes the news of the Government's SMR competition launch. With our advanced technology, and our ability to localise manufacture in the UK, we look forward to demonstrating our ability to move the UK from being a buyer to a global provider of nuclear technology."

Title: Native vine to cover chain link fence in Massachusetts
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have a chain link fence I don't want to bother taking down, any suggestions on a clinging vine that will rapidly attach itself to the links and eventually cover it with a green "blanket"? thanks
This is a little tricky, because I'm assuming you want something that covers up that fence ALL the time and not just in summer. The native vines we want to recommend range from deciduous to semi-evergreen in Massachusetts. So, we ranged a little farther and looked for some shrubs that would be evergreen in Massachusetts, and provide solid coverage for the fence year-round. There were not even that many of those, but here is a list of possibilities. Or you could tear the fence down.
Campsis radicans (trumpet creeper)
Lonicera sempervirens (trumpet honeysuckle)
Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper)
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (kinnikinnick)

John Edward Ryals, Sr.

Deacon John Edward Ryals, Sr., loving patriarch of the Ryals family, a kind and generous friend to all, answered the Master's call on Feb. 27, 2013. He was born on Aug. 11, 1930 in Wheeler County to the parentage of the late Essix Ryals and Mattie Lee Mincey Ryals. John was the fourth child born to this union.
John was united in holy matrimony to the late Beatrice Ryals. He resided in Jacksonville, FL the majority of his adult life. He accepted the Lord as his personal Savior and joined the fellowship with the New First Corinth Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Lucious Parker. He was a member of the church for several years and served faithfully as a deacon and usher. John was a dedicated employee for several years at the Jacksonville International Airport. He was also self-employed as an automobile painter.
In 2006 John moved back to Georgia and resided in Hazlehurst. He became employed part-time with the Jeff Davis County Library. John joined fellowship with the Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of the Rev. Reginald Cordy. He served as the assistant chairman of the Deacon's Ministry until his health failed.
John loved to travel extensively and he never met a stranger. He had a smile that could light up any room. He loved to go fishing. John was very loyal and devoted to his family. He was passionate about keeping unity in the Ryals family and was the family historian. He served as the President of the Ryals, Knox, and Tobler Family Reunion for many years. John was always there to lend a helping hand to others. Most importantly of all, he loved the Lord.
While traveling the river of life, John met many people along the way. As he journeyed towards the end of his river, John acknowledged the fact that his time was up. We rest in the assurance knowing he is at rest with his Savior, Jesus Christ.
Survivors include his daughter, Marian Ryals of Durham, N.C.; three step-daughters, Glenda Cotton, Mary Griffin and Marcia Smith, all of Jacksonville, FL; a very special and devoted friend, Rosa Strong of Jacksonville, FL; 10 grandchildren, Ben Powell, Dameion Ryals, April Ryals, Ashanti Thomas, Brandy Ryals, Grace Thomas, Randy Ryals, Jamie Weathel, Rinoda Brown and Justice Cole; six great-grandchildren, Daniel Thomas, Shekira Jordan, Brianna Tripp, Ja'Nae Harris, D'Asia Thomas and Dacoda Ryals; sisters, Susie Mae Buxton and Elaine Solomon (Naymond), both of Baxley; Carrie Lou Morris of Orlando, FL, Bernice Hepburn of Eustis, FL, Essie Mae Hamlett of Miami, FL and Rosa Lee Campbell of Green Cove Springs, FL; two brothers, Willie Ryals, Sr. of Jesup and Roger Ryals of Atlanta; and a host of nieces, nephews cousins and friends.
Funeral services for Deacon John Edward Ryals, Sr. were held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, March 9 from Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church with the Rev. Henry Josey presiding. Eulogy was given by the Rev. Reginald Cordy.
Interment followed in Miles Cemetery, Hutcheson Road, in Baxley.
Active pallbearers were Marvin Ryals, Henry Ryals, Jr., Ben Powell, Randy Ryals, Dameion A. Ryals and Daniel Thomas.
Honorary pallbearers were Charles Vann, Sr., Charles Vann, Jr. and Noah Vann and deacons of Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church.
Musical selections were rendered by Naymond Solomon, Jr., Brittany Roberts and a combined choir.
Arrangements were under the direction of Brown Funeral Home.

I moved most of my garden from the old house...but couldn't get all. Looking outside..noting the lack of bloom.
Last couple of buds in the daylily bed. Blooms on the Big Leaf Ligularia. garden phlox and the tall sedums have started. The toad lilies are blooming..but they are first year, as couldn't find the ones that I wanted to dig up...there goes that big,late patch :0
Would love some suggestions..currently a lot of shade in the yard..huge silver maple goes across most of the lot..that will be coming down , due to possible issues with some of the large branches, so will have more sun area...but don't know when that will happen,
Would Love suggestions for late summer/fall blooms.....some plants aren't favs of mine/::mums, helianthus,and galliarda and anything toxic to dogs.
I will be trying the mini asters (maybe)...my soil (now is clay..sure miss the loam) and a Very High iron level in the soil. I can modify small areas (energy limited :( )
Would love to attract birds and butterflies. Have corner of garden with lots of the food plants for the caterpillar stage..have a good start for the nectar. Hoping that the rain from this season (as opposed to drought last year) will have bridge affect for more butterflies this coming season.
Hmm/ I am t rambling..so look forward to any suggestions.
Fall blooms in zone 5
I moved most of my garden from the old house...but couldn't get all. Looking outside..noting the lack of bloom.
When the maple is gone and you have more sun, what about sunflowers and a butterfly bush? I don't think clay will bother either of them and I know the birds and butterflys will love them.
motts1-here's two threads that may give you some ideas:
Just need to note what zone they poster is in vs. what zone you are in.
Thanks, great info..sorry it is so late, but life often gets in the way of gardening.
I did get a couple of butterfly bushes in,,in the spring, need to get feeding plants for larvae started.
Robins were here for winter (hope they had a warm apt nearby) they enjoyed the berries left on the trees.

Trek's John Burke on his father, the 'Big Guy'
Waterloo - When he was 24 years old, John Burke got a call from his father Dick, the founder of Trek Bicycle Corp.
It was 1986 and Burke was out in California meeting with customers and distributors of the then-young company.
His father wanted him back in Wisconsin, and fast.
John Burke rushed home. When the two met, the elder Burke said he had some changes in mind for the bicycle company. And one of them was naming the younger Burke the head of sales and marketing.
For John Burke, it was vintage Big Guy, the name he called his father. Dick Burke was a man who was a C student at best in his days at Marquette University, yet carried with him an uncanny business sense and a world-class personality to boot.
Dick Burke died in 2008 at the age of 73 after a lengthy illness. His son, now the president of Trek, has written a book about his father. Called "One Last Great Thing," the book is part love story; part business treatise; and part company and family history.
Burke is donating the proceeds from the book to DreamBikes.
John Burke took a few questions about the book in a recent interview.
Q. On your father's 70th birthday, he said he had no idea what it would be, but predicted he would do one last great thing. What was it?
A. In my mind, I thought he would give away a massive amount of money and help change the world. He was a great philanthropist.
But to me, the last great thing was: He showed people how to die. The lessons he left behind. Those are the two things. That's why I wrote the book.
Q. He told you that you would be running sales and marketing. You were 24. What was your reaction?
A. Game on. I was not short of confidence at all. I spent a year and a half selling. I knew how to sell. I had a front-row seat watching Trek fall apart. When I started, it was at its peak in 1984. And when I started, it almost fell off the cliff.
Q. He was a C student at Marquette. But he had good business instincts.
A. He may have been a C student, but he never stopped learning. He went back to MIT. So here's the C student who had plenty of confidence to say, "Even though I have a successful business, I'm going back to MIT."
If he had applied himself, he would have done a lot better. Beyond anything else, he knew how to size people up and put people in the right seats. That's what he was really good at. He was also great at listening to customers. And no one asked better questions.
Q. Your father once gave a speech at Trek World that you said was brutally honest about the company. Is that the right way for a CEO to behave?
A. I don't think a lot of people behave this way. But it's a great way to behave. He was brutally honest. He always told employees what the financial results were. He let them know if things weren't good. He was brutally honest.
He wasn't a micromanager. Far from it. But he would tell you exactly what he thought.
Q. In the book, you use the phrase, "Ready, fire and aim." What is that?
A. He was a planner and he was a finance guy. He's a credit guy. I'm a sales guy. . . . So he would accuse me of being ready, fire and aim. He loved that. I always felt bad about it. So, I'm reading a book one day. I learn there are two types of people. There's ready, fire and aim. And there's ready, aim and fire. I felt so much better after reading that.
Q. Does the Big Guy still motivate you?
A. He inspires me. I'm motivated every day. I will think of him. Sometimes issues come up that he would have loved to see. The great financial crisis. He missed that. He loved that kind of stuff.
When big issues came up, especially problems, he would just love it.
Q. What do you hope to accomplish with this book?
A. My goal was to write it so I would have it for my kids. But there is a deep meaning. The last great thing is how he died and letting people know in this book that here is this great man, the dignity and the thought process of how he died. He left these amazing lessons behind.

Google Babel for Gmail allegedly leaks in full, touting plenty of emoticons
Google is rumoured to be launching a unified chat service, dubbed Babel, that will bring together its existing chat services under one umbrella. Its name has been leaked often enough, but now we have allegedly a first real look at the service thanks to a pair of screenshots from the folks at TechRadar.
The screenshots are from a supposed Google employee. They don't seem to show Google going that far-away from the interface that's typically been around Google Talk, besides a user interface clean up.
However, there are included features such as Google+ integration for photo sharing and the ability to launch Google+ Hangouts within a chat window. A slew of new emojis are also on board.
Such a service out of Google makes sense, as it has worked in the past year to unify existing platforms and remove clutter from its list of services (think Google Reader). Many competitors have unified messaging services, including Apple iMessage and BlackBerry Messaging, that might push Google to such a feature.
According to a report over the weekend, Google is working to purchase cross-platform messaging application WhatsApp for a solid $1 billion. It could potentially tie in to the Babel service. Sadly, we still haven't seen what the interface would look like on Android.
We advise that these are all far from confirmed and could simply be fake mock-ups, but at any rate, these do look relatively legitimate, or at least a pretty spot-on mock-up.
Google is expected to reveal Babel at its Google I/O conference in May, along with a redesign to Google Play.

Do you ever feel like your doctor simply doesn't listen to you when you're trying to explain what's wrong? If so, here are a few tips you can use to get better results.
1. Use graphs and drawings. Most people just try to tell their story verbally, but using a graphic image can slow the conversation down and force the doctor to listen.

Lady Tigers beat Assumption, Dominican but fall to Live Oak
March 14, 2014 at 10:16 am | Mobile Reader | Print
Hahnville 12 Assumption 2
The Lady Tigers trailed Assumption 2-0 heading into the fourth inning of their first tourney game, but exploded for 12 runs in the bottom of the frame to get the win and end the game early due to the mercy rule.
Sophomore Maeson Martindale led off the bottom of the fourth with a home run that seemed to energize her squad. Fellow sophomore Madison Fremen followed with a two RBI double to give her team a 3-2 lead, and freshman Maddison Leblanc singled to right to drive in yet another run.
Martindale got her second and third RBIs of the inning when she singled to right field and scored Caitlyn Robinson and Pryscilla Prince to put Hahnville on top 6-2.
A batter later, freshman Jourdyn Hogan doubled to bring home two more runs.
After scoring three more runs due to Assumption errors, Leblanc wrapped up the scoring for the Lady Tigers by singling in the 12th run of the inning.
Martindale led Hahnville from the plate, going 3-for-3 with three RBIs. Leblanc was 2-for-3 with three RBIs, while Fremen and J. Hogan both finished with two RBIs.
Junior Lauren Beadle picked up the win for Hahnville, striking out seven while giving up only three hits in five innings.Hahnville 2 Live Oak 8
After putting up 12 runs in a single inning the day before, Hahnville's hitters struggled against Live Oak ace Amanda Holliday in an 8-2 loss.
Holliday allowed only four hits and one earned run in seven innings. She struck out one and walked three in the game.After Live Oak took a 1-0 lead to start the first, Hahnville answered in the bottom of the inning when senior Lauren Simar hit a sacrifice to score Prince.
Live Oak took a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning, but again the Lady Tigers responded by getting one of those runs back in the bottom of the frame on a line drive by junior Bryce Button.
However, Live Oak stormed out to a 6-2 lead in the fifth and added two more runs in the sixth to clinch the win.
Simar led Hahnville from the plate, finishing 2-for-2 with an RBI. Martindale and Prince were the only other Lady Tigers to record hits in the game.
Beadle suffered the loss after giving up 12 hits and four earned runs in seven innings.
Hahnville 6 Dominican 1
The Lady Tigers got their groove back later that day by beating Dominican 6-1 in the final game of the tournament.
Hahnville jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning after an RBI single by J. Hogan and a two RBI double by Leblanc.
With Beadle holding the Dominican bats to a single run, the Lady Tigers built on their lead in the bottom of the fourth.
Prince singled to center to drive in freshman Allison Plaisance, and Taylor Hogan put her team on top 5-1 with a sacrifice that scored Kaylyn Morales.
Simar blasted a single to right to score the Lady Tigers final run of the game.
Leblanc led Hahnville from the plate, going 2-for-2 with two RBIs. Simar was a perfect 1-for-1 with an RBI, while Prince, J. Hogan and T. Hogan each drove in a run.
Beadle picked up the win for Hahnville after giving up only five hits and one run in seven innings.

The harmonica, also known as a pocket piano, a harp, a french harp, a blues harp and a tin sandwich is very popular for being used as an accompaniment with the guitar and other stringed instruments. It's also popular because of it's portability and unique sound.

This unique little instrument originated in the early 1800s. There are a multitude of types of harmonicas today in various keys and hole configurations.

This group is for those that play the harmonica with their guitars or other instruments or play the harmonica by itself.

All are welcome from beginners to advance and those wanting to learn. Let's talk harmonicas, accessories, songs and share tips and information.

Common glitches and how to stop them if possible
This may not be super helpful, but I see lots of questions about glitches. So I've decided that I'd try to help. Here are some of the most common glitches I've seen in V.F 2
Flea Market- no new items appear in the flea market.
Wait for the next generation, or redownload app.
Not Aging- Your people (or one person) will not age, period.
Redownload app.
No marriage proposals-Pretty self explanatory. You haven't gotten any marriage proposals.
Adopt your kids and see if they come next generation. If not (bet u can guess by now) redownload the app.
Maid/Gardener Not coming back-You hired maid/ gardener but they don't come back.
Either just clean up yourself, or (cough cough) redownload the app.
Those are most of the main ones. Please like and I hope I helped! Have fun redownloading!
Please Submit a Problem for any incomplete, non-working or fake cheat listed above.

7 Things All Great Friends Do
December 18, 2015
Jasmine is a recent graduate of the University of Missouri. She's got a love for missions, writing, and miniature humans (aka children).
It wasn't until I had moved back to my hometown, post-graduation, and had to start all over in finding a community that I began to realize just how much I liked to receive from my relationships. In other words, I often got the whole you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others (Philippians 2:4) idea terribly wrong.
Fortunately, God has been teaching me a lot about friendship in the last few months. Here's what I've learned:
When I became a believer and follower of Jesus four years ago, I was hungry for knowledge and community. And for much of that time (for far too long, truthfully), I had felt entitled to be sought out. I felt like people should have been welcoming me, pursuing a relationship with me and pouring knowledge and wisdom into me. Me, me, me. I was always concerned with how I could benefit from my relationships, not how I could support anyone else.
But I've since learned that we should strive to dive right into a community and seek to get to know others, even when it seems like no one's taking a particular interest in pursuing us. If we simply put ourselves out there, we'll start meeting people and we'll make new friends along the way.
Go Deeper
We should strive to dive right into a community and seek to get to know others, even when it seems like no one's taking a particular interest in pursuing us
Consider ways to have a deeper discussion when catching up with friends. Ask what they're struggling with, how you can be praying for them and for an update on their lives since you last spoke. Take a step past the often cliched, surface level connections, as seen in "Miss you," and "Hope you're doing well." Can they be truthful, necessary or encouraging? Absolutely. But from those conversation starters, a meaningful conversation should stem.
Know When to Listen and When to Offer Advice
Sometimes, we just need a friend to lend an ear—we just need someone to listen to our fears, worries and problems. Other times, we're sharing as much as we are because we're seeking input and advice. As unconventional as it may be, I think that it's simple and appropriate to gently ask the speaker, "Would you rather me to just listen, or would you like to hear my thoughts?"
Ask Good Questions
When we're listeners, we have to make sure we've got the right understanding of what's been shared first. Repeating back what you thought you heard and asking for verification is the best way to make sure the two of you are on the same page. Otherwise, how can your advice or encouragement be accurate or even helpful?
Follow Up
My biggest pet peeve in ministry and community is that most communities I've found myself in have developed a tagline of "Thanks for sharing." If I'm sharing my testimony in a small group with a bunch of women I'll be with for the foreseeable future, I would hope they would have more concern and compassion for me than that. We cannot listen to chapters of someone's life story and not be willing to check for comprehension or continue reading―certainly not if we want to make fruitful relationships.
It's especially important to follow up by keeping others accountable, checking to see if a past sin is a current issue, asking how we can be praying, and offering to be available to talk further. Hebrews 10:25 says, "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another―and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Let regularly getting together to discuss life and encourage others be a part of your relationships.
Call Out Greatness
Like me, you may not believe that encouragement is one of your more developed spiritual gifts, but use it anyway. As awkward as it can be to pull someone aside and say, "Hey, I really saw Jesus in the way that you…", it needs to be said. Affirming others is one of the best ways to be a blessing, since every single one of us needs to know that Christ in us is evident.
In my own life, I've seen my vulnerability open up doors for great, deep and sustainable relationships.
Be Real
Let's be honest: life can be so busy sometimes―with school and work and family―that we may purposefully avoid engaging emotionally and mentally in our relationships. I get it. In seasons of life when it seems everything else is draining, the last thing I want to do is have deep conversations, but I have them anyway. In my own life, I've seen my vulnerability open up doors for great, deep and sustainable relationships. In fact, we are called to be open, and are told to confess our sins and pray for one another (James 5:16). If you're like me, you value genuine relationships where you can be vulnerable and yet unashamed, so make it your mission to create them.
Relationships aren't just about getting your needs met or relying on someone to string you along on your spiritual journey. Although we may not be as wise or gifted or financially blessed as those around us, we still have something to offer to our community. For that reason, we should resolve to be those who not only seek to be poured into but also those who pour out into others.

It's your job, Steven.
The community should be reaching out to you, yes. But that doesn't absolve you from your responsibility to be the first to reach out and take a few steps toward joining the community yourself.
Regardless of whether you are on the inside or the out, a good friend initiates. Waiting for someone else to act is easier, but not the most responsible.
Regarding the "Initiate" paragraph: Who has responsibility to do this? If you are a person who knows no-one in the community to which you have been thrust, is it really all up to you? Surely those people who already have that sense of belonging to the community ought to be making the initial efforts?

I want to ask Bobby "Blaster" Lashley whether pro wrestling is fake ... even though a former TC sports writer tells me the question is passe and highly uncool.
Nonetheless, I'm curious how Lashley -- competing at the arena tomorrow -- might respond. As an arts writer, I know little about pro wrestling, other than it involves heavily muscled fellows pummelling one another and yelling. Lashley obviously knows a thing or two about the pure sport, being a former U.S. national wrestling champ and reigning Extreme Championship Wrestling champ.
On the other hand, I don't want to get slapped around or anything. The Blaster is six-foot-three, weighs 270 lbs. and visits our office bearing his ECW World Champion belt in his gigantic hand. The belt alone weighs as much as a Power Mac G4 computer.
Gazing at The Belt, I'm reminded of the Stossel Factor.
John Stossel is the defiantly mustachioed reporter on television's 20/20 who, in 1984, ventured where few journalists dared to go. In a face-to-face interview, he suggested to pro wrestler David "Dr. D" Schultz that his sport was fake. This turned out to be the worst idea Stossel had all day. Dr. D batted the reporter around with his meaty mitts like he was a packet of Cheezies.
Still, Lashley seems like a good guy and everything. So -- what the hey! -- I go for it. Fortunately, the big man grins benevolently and says he doesn't mind answering.
"If I'm throwin' somebody, I'm throwin' somebody," says Lashley, sharp in his pin-striped jacket and a black Andy Capp cap. "The ring is not a trampoline. So when they land, they're landing and it's pretty tough."
So ... not fake. Right.
Thirty-year-old Lashley and his pals compete at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre tomorrow as part of Road to Wrestlemania, a proud WWE Smackdown/ECW presentation. As an amateur athlete attending Missouri Valley College, he won numerous national wrestling championships. After that he was selected for the U.S. Olympic Training Centre. Then, 3 1/2 years ago, he signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.
Lashley, who has a business degree, is no dummy. Wrestlemania is "sports entertainment." And he's the first to acknowledge that in the ring, he's part athlete and part entertainer. When he first signed on, he was a "bad guy" known as Blaster Lashley (he has since dropped the Blaster moniker). Today his character is a good guy who's soft-spoken but hard-hitting. It's not far from his real personality, he says.
"I call myself just an ordinary guy doing extraordinary things," adds Lashley without a trace of irony.
Some say pro wrestling fills the vacuum left by outlawed activities such as bear baiting and cock fighting. In fact, it's probably closer to the morality plays of old, in which audiences were encouraged to choose the side of good over evil.
Like any proponent of good, Mr. Lashley possesses an arsenal of bone-crushing moves. These include the Spinebuster, the Exploder Suplex, the Military Press Gut-buster and the Kneeling Torture Rack Back-Breaker Drop (that one sounds especially painful, doesn't it?).
His trademark move, however, is the Dominator. The victim is hoisted on Lashley's stump-sized shoulders, facing heavenwards. Then he flips the poor sap over so he hits the ring face-down.
"There's no real way to protect yourself on that one but to take it. Eat the mat," Lashley explains helpfully.
To tell the truth, I wish Blaster wouldn't say stuff like that. He's a terrific fellow and all, but he's partial to unnerving utterances. These include: "I'm gonna beat him up real bad that day, then I'm gonna move onto the next person," "You just want to knock him out -- well, that's my job," and "I keep a constant flow of food in my body for energy" (the latter doesn't seem particularly menacing, but for some reason makes me uneasy).
Still, Lashley has a soft side. Back home in Colorado Springs, he has a cute two-year-old daughter named Kyra.
"My daughter is my life," he says. "She carries around my little action figure and she's like, 'Daddy, Daddy.' "
Some wrestlers blow all their money immediately. Lashley drives a Cadillac Escalade, but also talks of investing in mutual funds and life insurance plans. He just opened a shop that sells health smoothie drinks. He'd like to open a gym, or even a chain of gymnasiums in the future.
"God forbid, something might happen to me and I might not be able to wrestle," says Lashley. "This might be all over. They might say tomorrow, 'We don't need Bobby Lashley.' "

I'm trying to calculate a rough distance from an AP (Access Point) to an iPhone. A couple of constants:
1) I've already solved the problem of finding and determining signal strength of nearby APs (had to use private APIs, don't worry this isn't going in the App Store)
2) All the APs are the same brand & model
Now given a APs RSSI, how can I get a rough distance?
Example: RSSI is -60, what other info would I need to get to a distance?

Great Score!
- 9/22/09
This movie is very entertaining to say the least. Especially seeing Julia Roberts before she became Julia Roberts. Justine Bateman is perfect for the title role looking and acting the part. As a professional musicin, the rock score and editing the audio for the sync with the actors is absolutley totally great! How can I get the score so my band can cover some of these arrangements?,,Perfect rated E for everone..good job!

Not the right shoe for me,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Skechers Performance Women's Go Walk 2 Flash Walking Shoe (Shoes)
I was very excited when I saw how much cushioning there is in this insole. It feels very nice although the surface of the insole feels just like a yoga mat (as the name implies) therefore it is sticky making it hard to put the shoe on with socks and keep the socks from pulling too tight.
My problem came with the stitching that goes around the ball of the foot (at the base of the tongue and the stitching is covered with a vinyl piece) this caused the shoe to rub with and without socks. Sadly I needed to return these shoes.

Pelosi: New Benghazi inquiry needs parties seated equally
WASHINGTON House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday morning that the new committee to investigate the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi being commissioned by the House GOP leadership must include an even split of Democrats and Republicans to be fair.
"If this review is to be fair, it must be truly bipartisan. The panel should be equally divided between Democrats and Republicans as is done on the House Ethics Committee," Pelosi said in a statement.
"It should require that witnesses are called and interviewed, subpoenas are issued, and information is shared on a bipartisan basis. Only then could it be fair."
The statement, which noted that the administration's handling of the attack has already been investigated twice by bipartisan investigative bodies, also said: "The attacks in Benghazi were a tragedy and we join the families of those who died in continuing to mourn their loss. As we go forward, we should always act in a manner respectful of their loss and to prevent future loss of life."
Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced late last week that he would form a House Select Committee to further investigate the Obama administration's handling of the Benghazi attack, which left four Americans dead just weeks before the 2012 presidential election.
Republicans have accused the Obama administration of covering up its failures to prevent the attack and of deliberately blaming the attack on a protest against a controversial video – despite having knowledge that the video was not to blame – to shield Obama from criticism.
On Monday, Boehner named Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., to lead the committee.
Democrats have held out on whether they will participate in the committee at all and will likely not commit to participating or announcing they will not until after the GOP House leadership unveils the size and partisan divide.

Here is another spin it.....creat an addendum requesting an inspection and present it to the seller.
However, if the inspection clause is a contingency that you waived, you *may* still be able to obtain an inspection for your own peace of mind. Just be aware that you will not be able to use any outcome of that inspection to either get out of the contract or to request any repairs, since you did waive that privilege.
If you're beyond your due diligence period of inspections and have already waived your inspections clause you might be up a creek!! In this case, it's talk to the attorney time!

First Look: Elijah Wood Brutally Stabs a Woman on 'Maniac' Set
Elijah Wood gets rid of his heroic Frodo image and becomes a psychopathic killer on the set of his upcoming film "Maniac". The 30-year-old actor has been caught on camera filming a brutal murder scene on the street in Los Angeles.
Rocking a black bomber jacket and denims, Wood was heartlessly attacking a woman with a knife. His victim was played by Genevieve Alexandra. The blond beauty was seen screaming and looking really terrified as Wood pushed her off the ground.
In "Maniac", Wood plays a serial killer who works at a shop that sells antique mannequins. He finds victims on the internet and stalks them like prey, all the while suffering from hallucinations that throw him back into the past when he was abused by his own mother. In his twisted mind, he gains a measure of revenge against his mother with each kill.
The slasher thriller is directed by Franck Khalfoun and is expected to open wide in U.S. theaters sometime in 2013. Joining Wood in the cast ensemble are Hank Azaria, Nora Arnezeder, Sal Landi dan Dan Hunter.
