Reviews for Buffalo Chicken Wraps with Bacon
"I sent this in my husbands lunch and he really liked it. He thought the veggies really complemented the chicken. I did change one thing, I used precooked shredded chicken and then seared the hot sauce on in a frying pan. I always do this with hot sauce in wraps because otherwise it's to runny and makes a mess."
"Modified this. Left out the bacon. Used a bit of grated cheddar cheese on the chicken while still warm and added chopped pickle. This modifcation is perfect! Would never ue bacon."
"My family is very picky and everyone of them loved this recipe!!!!! will be making this again"
"Quick, easy, and great flavor. This recipe is definitely a keeper! I found a buffalo wing sauce by Wing-Time with no preservatives, and it was excellent."
"I live near Buffalo and if you want authentic use Franks hot sauce or Franks Wing sauce. Franks is what 99% of restuarants and people around here use. I am not sure if this is a regional product or not.Also if you want authentic blue cheese dip try to get Rooties blue cheese dip. That is also another product used widely here.The only places that use regular bottled salad dressing are the chain restaurants that call anything orange and spicy "Buffalo""

Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a blood disorder in a fetus or newborn infant. In some infants, it can be life-threatening.
This article provides a general overview. For more detailed information, see the specific disorder:
HDN; Erythroblastosis fetalis
HDN may develop when a mother and her unborn baby have different blood types (called "incompatibility"). The mother produces substances called antibodies that attack the developing baby's red blood cells.
The most common form of HDN is ABO incompatibility, which is usually not very severe. Other, less common types may cause more severe problems.
The least common form is Rh incompatibility, which can almost always be prevented. When this form does occur, it can cause very severe anemia in the baby.
HDN can destroy the newborn baby's blood cells very quickly, which can cause symptoms such as:
Signs of HDN include:
Which tests are done depends on the type of blood group incompatibility and the severity of symptoms, but may include:
After birth, a transfusion may need to be performed.
Infants with mild HDN may be treated with:
The severity of this condition can vary. Some babies have no symptoms. In other cases, problems such as hydrops can cause the baby to die before, or shortly after birth. Severe HDN may be treated before birth by intrauterine blood transfusion.
The most severe form of this disease, which is caused by Rh incompatibility, can be prevented if the mother is given a shot of a medicine called RhoGAM at certain times during and after her pregnancy. If you have had a baby with this disease, talk with your doctor if you plan to have another baby.

Facebook: Anatomy Of An Options Trade
If you've read my previous articles, then you know I'm a Facebook (FB) bull. I've always thought that Facebook had what it took to succeed where other similar social sites like MySpace have failed. To my point, they have accomplished the following very quickly:
- Obtained a massive user-base applying social psychology to grow very quickly (link)
- Embraced Mobile As a Primary Platform (link)
- Targeted Social Advertising and Massive User Engagement (link)
Specifically, they can handle the growth and every move they make is well considered in light of the impact on their user base. They've now proven they can monetize their users.

because you have a better computer. no matter how bad it is, it's better than my mac
because you have a better computer. no matter how bad it is, it's better than my mac
40 gigs...256mb memory.....i dont think so XD
I have a crappy Dell PC.
i have a shitty ten year+ old computer with 3.9gigs when it is totally empty but i love it so
isn't it a windows 96 or something? I kinda of remember Fullmetal talking about how old your computer was.
windows 96 dosnt exist. i have windows 2000 but used to have 98
sorry, typo there. Meant to say 95. I have a 98 at my house and it's a piece of shit, but I have to use it for the internet because my XP is a bitch and won't connect to the internet.
you suck Walrus
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
It needs a better hard drive thats what!
I'll tell you as long as you live, Eve... no matter how shitty a computer is, it's still an amazing computer because it's not a mac
40 gigs is huge
i would have absolutely no idea what to do with it all. you dont need any more than 40 gigs.
is memory the same as RAM?
the cheapest computers do NOT have 60 gigs
apples actually are okay

And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
yes the cheapest have around 60. the even cheapier (not a word) crappier ones have 40
timmy you suck. go swallow.
define cheapest. i right now am using a computer with 3.9 gigs that would sell for 50 cents on a good day. my step dad uses a 12 gig computer he bought for 20 dollars at a flee market.
you're just a spoiled rich girl
im not spoilt.
POINT IS THIS LAPTOP IS CRAP AND IT LOOKS CRAP AND IS CRAP. when i come to america in june im so bringing it and proving to you how crap it is
ill probably be amazed at how great it is in comparison to my over 10 years old computer with 3.9 gigs, windows 98, and 160 ram. you can give it to me if you really want.
although i love my computer tons, but objectively it's beyond belief bad. in never gives me any technical troubles though, which is insane considering its age.

ZF-7201: Zend_Form_Element_File::getValue() only works on first usage
If you are accessing the ::getValue() function of Zend_Form_Element_File more than once during one PHP process only the first usage of the function will return the correct value of the element. All subsequent usages will return NULL. At the end I tried the calling the function on the consequtive lines - with above result.
The actual problem seems to lie in the Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http::receive function. The Zend_Form_Element_File::receive() function only returns TRUE once. That's why Zend_Form_Element_File::geValue() will return NULL in LINE 711 on the second usage.
I can negotate your bescribed reason.
receive() returns TRUE multiple times. The object stores if the file was already received or not, and in the case it has already been received a true is instantly returned without further checks.
BUT: When you create a new object then you will have the described behaviour, as the new object expects that the file is available, which is not the case as the first object already received the file.
Then my trace of the problem to the transfer adapter seems to be wrong. Still I have the feeling that it should be possible to access the value of an instance of Zend_Form_Element_File more than once. Currently this behaviour is like follows:
Example: Upload of a file named "file.gif" via an file upload field named "image". Codesnippet:
// $form = new Zend_Form(); .... $value1 = $form->image->getValue(); $value2 = $form->image->getValue(); //
In this example $value1 is "file.gif" and $value2 is NULL. This wasn't the case in the 1.7.+ branch and actually broke part of my application after the upgrade to 1.8.4. I changed my application to use Zend_Form_Element_File::getFileName(null, false) instead of the ::getValue(). That works for the moment.

European Union: Meeting new logistics challenges
Freight traffic in Europe is steadily growing, and most of its ports, air carriers, and third party logistics providers are making investments in infrastructure and networks to cope with today's new challenges and increase their safety and environmental standards.
in the NewsBehind KION Group's acquisition of Dematic UniCarriers Americas executives partner with Roosevelt University Brexit impact yet to be measured by U.S. logistics managers Rail carload and intermodal volumes fall for the week ending June 18, reports AAR BTS reports U.S.-NAFTA trade falls 3.2 percent in April More News
It's been an turbulent eight months for European carriers, service providers, and ports as they faced rising fuel prices, the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, the international debt crisis, and slower economic growth that overshadowed business developments across the region and the world.
Nevertheless, freight traffic in Europe is steadily growing, and most of the ports, air carriers, and freight forwarders are making investments in infrastructure and networks to cope with today's new challenges and to increase their safety and environmental standards.
So, if you're a U.S.-based logistics professional looking to establish or strengthen your logistics and transportation network across Europe, here's a comprehensive update on the state of European logistics as well as the challenges carriers and service providers are currently facing on the roads, on the rails, on the water, in the ports, and in the air.
Air cargo: Still cloudy
According to International Air Transport Association (IATA) recent 2011 traffic results, the global air cargo volume dropped by 3.0 percent, while European air carriers reported a 1.3 percent decline compared to June 2010.
Europe's two leading airlines certainly weren't immune to these challenges. In its April-June 2011 quarterly report, the cargo unit of Europe's largest carrier, Air France-KLM, posted an operating loss of 14 million euros ($20.2 million) due to the crisis in Japan and overcapacity on China departures. Revenues increased by 3.2 percent to 799 million euros ($1.15 billion) compared to the same period last year. During the year, the carrier has concentrated its Air France-KLM Cargo and Martinair Cargo's Americas operations in Atlanta "under one roof" to streamline work and the flow of communication.
In the first half of 2011, Lufthansa Cargo posted an operating profit of 133 million euros ($191 million), falling by 7.6 percent compared to last year. The carrier's revenue increased by 17.1 percent to 1.5 billion euros ($2.2 billion), while the cargo volume rose 14.8 percent to 953,000 metric tons.
The first half of 2011 saw a capacity increase that came mainly from the MD11 cargo aircraft reactivated following the crises, the 777 freighters delivered to Aerologic, a joint-venture with DHL Express, and Austrian Airlines' capacity that has been integrated into Lufthansa's system since July 2010. In conjunction with a 19.7 percent rise in capacity, the load factor dropped by 3.3 percentage points to 69.1 percent over last year.
Growth was particularly pronounced in the Americas, where tonnage climbed 19.5 percent compared to Europe where it rose 13.4 percent. "Lufthansa Cargo has harnessed the robust development of the global economy and sustained the growth momentum from the previous year," says Lufthansa Cargo Chairman and CEO Karl Ulrich Garnadt.
"We've made our network even more attractive with the addition of new destinations and invested to good purpose in the ongoing development of our products. We posted gains especially in the special services we offer customers to meet their specific needs," says Garnadt.
Expanding its network and improving services, the carrier has also opened a new office in Houston to extend its charter service in the oil and gas industry. The company also made investments into additional transport capacity and IT. "Order placements for five new aircraft of the Boeing 777F type, the re-design of our cargo center in Frankfurt, and modernization of our IT landscape will be of crucial importance for the success of Lufthansa Cargo in the years ahead," adds Garnadt.
Complaints about ETS
It seems that 2011 will continue to be a turbulent year for the aviation and air cargo industry. The introduction of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), which forces airlines flying through EU airspace to join the ETS system and buy carbon credits from January 2012 on, has provoked international protest in the industry during the last months.
"The EU is not sovereign over the US or the rest of the world, and has no right to levy taxes outside of the EU," says Tom Petri, chairman of the U.S. Aviation Subcommittee. Petri suggested working with the international civil aviation community through the UN International Civil Aviation Organization to seek a global solution.
European airlines also expressed concerns about ETS. Lufthansa CEO Christoph Franz, for example, fears a massive distortion of competition for European carriers and a shift of traffic via the Middle East. He estimates additional costs of 150 million to 350 million euros per year for his company to comply with the ETS system. IATA general director Giovanni Bisignani also calls for a global approach and warns against a "$1.5 billion cash grab that would do nothing to reduce emissions."
EU Ports: Expansion time
The times of empty ports in Europe are finally over. Most of the ports have used the recession to make themselves more competitive, and their investments in infrastructure, IT, and networks are paying off—as results from the first half of 2011 clearly indicate.
Port of Antwerp: Europe's second largest port, Antwerp handled 96 million metric tons of freight during the first six months of this year, representing an increase of 10.4 percent compared with the first half of 2010. Container cargo went up 3.4 percent from 51.3 million metric tons to 53 million metric tons. In terms of standard containers (20-foot equivalent units), the volume increased by 4.3 percent to 4.4 million TEU. Conventional/breakbulk cargo also showed a high growth rate of 16.9 percent, while bulk cargo rose by 21.5 percent and ro-ro increased 16.3 percent over the same period last year.
The deepening of the Western Scheldt has made the port easily accessible not only to ultra-large container ships of over 10,000 TEU but also to capesize vessels. These bulk carriers are too large to pass through the Panama and Suez canals and have to travel around the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn. The port has established the "dry bulk" workgroup, made up of various players in the port, to bring such large carriers to Antwerp and to boost its position as a leading hub for large-scale coal handling and conventional breakbulk. The arrival of the first capesize vessel, MG Courage, in July is a result of this joint initiative.
Port of Hamburg: Germany's largest seaport showed strong growth in seaborne cargo throughput in the first half of this year. Hamburg handled 64 million metric tons of cargo, which is 9.4 percent more than during the first half of 2010.
With a growth rate of 17.4 percent, container traffic via Hamburg amounted to 4.4 million TEU in the first six months of this year. The biggest increase in Hamburg's container trade was with the U.S. where the port reported an increase of 47.4 percent and was successful in winning back market shares in European-U.S. Atlantic container trade.
New liner services and Hamburg's geographic position, which offers very short distances to the growth markets in Eastern Europe and Russia, are advantages responsible for this positive development. In August, the PAX container liner service changed from their former German port of call Bremerhaven to Hamburg. This liner service, operated by the shipping lines Hapag Lloyd, NYK, and OOCL, now offers fast Atlantic passages for U.S. and European shippers via Hamburg.
Investments in infrastructure and development of new IT services further improve the service of Northern Europe's hub port, a main distribution center for trade with Germany, the Baltic Sea region, Eastern Europe, Austria, Switzerland, and Russia. The port also invested in a new electronic road traffic management system to inform truck drivers about the current traffic situation on the port roads.
In 2012, the port is also going to implement a new IT system to optimize its rail traffic network within the port area. With more than 220 cargo trains per day, Hamburg is Europe's largest rail port.

Open letter to Samsung
I'm a happy owner of your audio player T9 and enjoy it's qualities. One of the reasons I purchased it, is that it supports the free Ogg Vorbis audio codec. Samsung seems to be quite interested in Open Source projects. Besides using the Ogg Vorbis codec, the player and the accompanying software Samsung Media Studio also use the XVid video codec. I also read that even the operating system of the player is based on Linux. I can understand your company's choices. I'm a Linux user myself because I prefer having freedom of choice to being dependent on the choices of a monopoly.
The T9 comes with a firmware featuring MTP connectivity. MTP is only supported by Microsoft Windows so far. Thanks to the forum www.anythingbutipod.com I found out that your company also released a firmware that allows to connect to other operating systems, like Linux. That's great.
What is not so great is that I had to find a computer with Microsoft Windows installed in order to flash the firmware on the player. For me, this was quite a hassle costing me more than half a day. (The Windows system also needed some updates, etc. Take a look at the problems described in a lot of posts in the aforementioned forum and you know what I'm talking about.)
You could easily choose a more consumer friendly approach here. For example, you could pre-load both the MTP and the UMS firmware images on the player. This would just use about 14 MB. A menu option could allow to choose which one to install. Or, as a quick fix, you could decide to pre-install the UMS version and provide the MTP version on the CD-ROM. This way, independent of the operating system, the user could still choose to limit his device to only work with Windows Media Player. Even for non-technical people flashing the firmware would be quite easy if the player would be shown in the file explorer from the beginning on.
Please respect the choice of customers. Some are not willing to use Microsoft Windows. We might not represent an important market share yet, but our number is growing...
I posted this here in order to get some feedback, suggestions and corrections - english is not my mother tongue. I would be happy if somebody has ideas how to get in contact with the people at Samsung who are making these decisions. Customer support would probably just reply with some standard text module.

Unfortunately, HQ in foreign countries (Korea in this case), can only go by the information provided by each subsidiary.
Your letter, if it reaches the right people withing Samsung America, can be forwarded to Korea and development will change.
As it stands, the MP3 player standard in North America is MTP...Sandisk, Creative, etc....so Samsung Korea will make MTP the standard for NA-bound players.
Once they are told that customers in the US would like the choice...and once...this is the important part...Samsung America AGREES to the extra few cents/unit that this change will cost, things will change.
Unfortunately, those extra few cents, when discussing hundreds of thousands of units, will be a very big cost.
Come on, Samsung is profiting from the Open Source scene, as mentioned in my first post. The fact that they are providing a UMS version seems to indicate that they are beware of people not using Windows, don't you think?

Postgame Press Conference | Video Recap
Los Angeles, Calif. - The UCLA baseball team opened play in the NCAA Los Angeles Regional with a 5-3 win over San Diego State on Friday night in front of 1,690 fans at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Junior Adam Plutko allowed just two runs in seven innings to earn the win, making him the winningest pitcher in UCLA postseason history.
Plutko improved to 8-3 with the win while San Diego State's Ryan Doran dropped to 8-4 with the loss. Plutko surrendered just six hits in seven innings of work while striking out four. Doran gave up four runs on nine hits in 5.2 innings pitched.
The Aztecs opened the scoring in the top of the second inning when third baseman Tyler France earned a lead-off walk, moved to second base on Matt Nunoz's sacrifice bunt, and later to third on Plutko's throwing error (on the play at first). He came around to score when Jake Romanski grounded into a fielder's choice, which forced Munoz at third. The inning ended when Plutko picked Romanski off first with Evan Potter at the plate.
The Bruins equalized in the bottom half of the third. Junior Pat Gallagher opened the inning with a double before moving over to third on junior Brenton Allen's single. The next batter was sophomore Kevin Kramer, who hit a sacrifice fly to left field to plate Gallagher and tie things at 1-1.
UCLA took the lead for good in the bottom half of the fourth when Gallagher's single to right plated both junior Pat Valaika from third and sophomore Shane Zeile from second to make it 3-1. Allen followed with a single to score senior Cody Regis later in the inning to give UCLA a 4-1 advantage.
Romanski got San Diego State back on the board in the top of the fifth, hitting a solo homer over the left field fence to trim the UCLA lead to 4-2. Plutko avoided further trouble though escaping the inning without allowing any more runs.
In the top of the seventh, San Diego State got Potter to second base, but he was stranded there by Plutko. UCLA then tacked on an insurance run in the bottom half of the inning when pinch-hitter Brett Urabe drew a lead-off walk, moved to on a sacrifice and then scored on sophomore Eric Filia's single to right.
Junior Zack Weiss relieved Plutko for the Bruins to start the eighth, and retired the side with ease, allowing only a one-out hit by France. Sophomore David Berg entered the game in the ninth for UCLA, and gave up a run on doubles by Romanski and Allen before settling down and striking out Sheehan to end the game.
Overall, Gallagher led the Bruins at the plate by going 3-4 with two RBI and a run scored. Kramer added a hit and a RBI while Zeile went 2-4 with a run.
The Bruins improved to 40-17 on the season, and will face Cal Poly (40-17) on Saturday at 6 p.m. San Diego State will play San Diego (35-24) at 2 p.m. in an elimination game. UCLA will act as the visiting team in its game against Cal Poly tomorrow.
Game Notes: UCLA has reached the 40-win plateau for the third time in the last four years and for the ninth time in program history...Adam Plutko is now 5-0 in five all-time postseason appearances, logging a 0.97 ERA...Plutko also moved into sole possession of first place on UCLA's all-time career postseason wins list, breaking the tie with Trevor Bauer who previously had four postseason wins...Plutko is now tied with Gerrit Cole, Bauer and Rob Rasmussen for most postseason games started in UCLA history...finally, Plutko moved into sole possession of seventh place on UCLA's all-time career strikeouts list, striking out 266 batters in his three-year career...Cody Regis became UCLA's all-time leader in career postseason games played, now playing in 25 all-time postseason games...Regis also tied Troy Glaus for eighth place on UCLA's all-time career walks list, drawing his 123rd career walk tonight...in his last two games, Pat Gallagher is 7-9 with three RBI and two runs scored...David Berg extended his single-season UCLA saves record to 19 with his save tonight.

So, I'm dating this guy that loves music as much as I do... Rowdy... and he runs into Efrem of Death By Stereo and they decide we're going to Las Vegas on Dec 16th for the show. Completely random. I took a couple days off from work and we high-tailed it to Las Vegas. Just to see SUICIDAL!
We get there, check in, take the tram... we meet some guys from Chili that came to see Suicidal on the tram and I was trying to speak Spanish to no avail... the show was AMAZING. SxTx had so much energy! I couldn't help but feel compelled to get a little crazy... I was looking at the circle pit and HAD to get some!
I went around a few times... came out... drank a beer and went back to the front of the stage where I like to be. They started playing a song from the new album and I was REALLY feeling it! So I went back in the pit again... fell down... got picked up... and ran around a couple more times. Just as I was about to make my exit - someone came flying right onto my leg and crushed my ankle. I limped over to Rowdy and told him I was hurt! haha! Now I never broke a bone before, but it sure happened... and it happened at the House Of Blues Las Vegas in the pit with Suicidal jamming new material! I seriously wouldn't have it any other way! When we got back to Orange County everyone thought I was a mad-woman because I was sort of bragging that I broke my foot in the pit. I will never forget that show... I will always love the ST family... and I can't wait till my foot is all good again to get my ass back in the crowd where I BELONG! Love you guys!

|Wrightslaw: No Child Left Behind (5/5)
|Dec 14, 2007
|M.W. Warsaw
|The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is more than just standardized testing. In this book, the Wrightslaw team leads a clear path through NCLB, explaining important aspects such as requirements for qualified staff, the ability for children to transfer from dangerous schools, and more. Although I started out skeptical of NCLB (and still have issues with standardized testing), reading this book showed me the positive sides of the act and how it can be a powerful tool for parents.

|If you have to wonder if a book written by Peter and Pamela Wright is of value then you have never read one of their books or been to one of their conferences. This is a must have along with their other two books for any parent, teacher or administrator interested in the role of special education.
|Wrightslaw: No Child Left Behind (5/5)

|In all, the Wrightslaw: No Child Left Behind guide is an excellent legal reference for individuals who seek to provide effective education for individual students within the constraints of the NCLB Act.

Acclaimed travel and adventure expert Anthony Brandt illuminates Jefferson's inspiring voice, restless imagination and penetrating intelligence, drawing on his voluminous travel diaries and personal correspondence to reveal the man himself and the world in which he played such a vital role.
Powerfully written in Jefferson's own words, the book traces his journeys throughout Europe during his five-year residency in Paris, where he replaced Benjamin Franklin as U.S. Minister to France. His insightful, sophisticated impressions give readers a new perspective on European life in the 18th century. "This is a man whose mind grew wings," Brandt writes, presenting Jefferson as a man no longer possible to idolize, but impossible not to like.

Engine Defect Investigation
http://www.lieffcabraser.com/defects/sc ... GgodXiwrZg
The national consumer law firm of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, is currently investigating consumer complaints regarding Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle motorcycle engines. Screamin' Eagle motorcycles are a line of high-end Harley-Davidson bikes, which typically cost upwards of $30,000.
Description of the Alleged Defect in H-D Screamin' Eagles
The current investigation concerns an alleged defect referred to as the CVO, Screamin' Eagle or 110" defect (CVO 110 cubic inch engine). Consumers have experienced problems with their Screamin' Eagle bikes that include:
oil leaks at rear cylinder (most of the oil leaks seem to appear by the first 5,000 miles)
rear cylinder head gasket failure
burning oil
engine stalls, and
overheating engines.
Screamin' Eagle Model Years Under Investigation
This alleged defect appears to affect at least 2007 and 2008 Screamin' Eagle models, but may affect earlier models as well. The new 2009 model appears to have an improved design.
The affected models include:
2007 - FLHRSE3 Screamin' Eagle Road King
2007 - FLHTCUSE2 Screamin' Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide
2007 - FXDSE Screamin' Eagle Dyna

Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Recall Letter
On August 13, 2008, Harley-Davidson sent a recall letter to owners of 2007 & 2008 Screamin' Eagle motorcycle owners. The recall, referred to as Product Program 0906, promises to "upgrade" the top end gaskets, center crankcase bolt, and the Automatic Compressor Release of certain 2007 and 2008 models built before May 14, 2008. However, based upon the alleged CVO defect, the solution the company is providing is inadequate to solve the inherent problem with the affected models of the Screamin' Eagles.
Consumer Legal Rights
State and federal consumer protection laws provide consumers with remedies for products that do not perform as advertised or that were defectively designed or manufactured, even after the warranty period has expired. In many consumer protection cases, the cost of prosecuting individual lawsuits for each consumer is prohibitive.
The law, however, does not leave the consumer powerless. Individual consumers may band together in a class action lawsuit, thereby representing all consumers who purchased the allegedly defective product. Thus, a class action can provide an effective means for consumers to force a corporation to acknowledge its legal responsibilities and provide monetary relief to all members of the class.
Submit Your Complaint About Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Motorcycle Engine Defects
We are interested in learning of any alleged defects or other problems you have had with your Harley- Davidson Screamin' Eagle. Please inform us of your experiences with these allegedly defective Harleys. We will review your claim without charge or any obligation on your part.

Equipment 101: Data capture basics
Voice technology is often applied to labor-intensive activities, like piece picking, putaway, replenishment and cycle counting.
At every point in the supply chain—from receiving raw materials in a manufacturing facility to delivering the finished product to the retail shelves—the more information you have about your product and the process, the better. That's why data capture technology is a key component to an operation's success.
A number of technologies are included in the data capture market. Mobile computing, RFID, voice technology, and bar codes and bar code scanning are the solutions most often employed to capture, share and manage data.
Having real-time, accurate data enables today's warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing plants to keep pace with the constant, continued pressures to increase efficiencies.
While data capture systems once worked independently, today's technology works together. This equipment report will take a look at:
- voice technology.
Workstation computers are ideal for sharing instructions with operators who remain in one place during a shift, but that's an unlikely scenario inside the four walls of most facilties. In these environments, workers and products are in constant motion.
"Product is not staying still, even though a warehouse seems static," says Bruce Stubbs, Intermec's director of industry marketing for warehouses. "Product is constantly moving and going through the supply chain."
Mobile computers that communicate wirelessly with a host computer over a facility's Wi-Fi network enable operators, order pickers and other personnel to receive work instructions and capture information in real time wherever they are. In addition to receiving communications, workers can key data into a mobile computing device.
Mobile computing is the foundation of any automated data capture solution, regardless of whether the systems scans bar codes, reads RFID tags or uses voice technology to communicate.
There are two main types of mobile computing devices:
- Vehicle-mounted computers are designed to work with lift trucks and walkies. A vehicle-mounted computer will usually have a bar code scanner tethered to it. Both devices communicate wirelessly to the network. Not only does this provide real-time data and capability, it creates efficiency. "Workers don't have to get off and on the truck to count or handle cases," explains Stubbs. This saves time and gives an operation the best of both worlds. In addition, Stubbs says, "Vehicle-mounted computers can be run off the power source of the forklift, so you don't have to worry about a battery."
Today's vehicle-mounted computers provide workers with better technology like enhanced graphics and large screens. "Some now have touch pads, the resolution is much better, and the ergonomics of the key pads are better, too," says Stubbs.
- Ruggedized handheld devices are available in a variety of form factors, depending on the job. Order pickers carry an integrated handheld device that includes a scanning engine for bar codes or a reader for RFID tags. Supervisors who are not scanning as often as an order selector may carry mobile computers that are similar to a PDA.
Today's mobile computers are nearly as powerful as a desktop, and the graphics have improved over time. These machines are able to run the applications you need on an Intel-based platform running an open system like Windows.
"These mobile computers are really the driving force behind productivity and accuracy in a facility," says Stubbs. "These are the devices needed to be successful and competitive."

Jeff Wall Photograph Fetches Artist Record $3.6 Million at Auction
A 1992 photograph by Jeff Wall sold for $3,666,500 yesterday evening during a Post-War and Contemporary art auction at Christie's in New York City. The previous record sale for a work by Jeff Wall was $1.1 million.
The work "Dead Troops Talk (A vision after an ambush of a Red Army patrol, near Moqor, Afghanistan, winter 1986" depicts a grisly scene in which Soviet Red Army soldiers killed by the Afghan mujahideen have come back to life and are conversing with one another.
The photograph, framed in a light box, was the first in an edition of two, with one artist's print. The photograph has been in the collection of David and Geraldine Pincus, who acquired it from Marian Goodman Gallery in New York. The Pincus's substantial collection formed a major part of the sale, which set a record for a Post-War and Contemporary art sale at $388.5 million, according to Christie's.
The high lot in the sale was Mark Rothko's "Orange, Red, Yellow," which sold for $86.9 million, another record for a work from the Post-War period.
Three other photographs were included in the sale. A Richard Prince work that appropriated a Marlboro advertisement, "Untitled (Cowboys)," sold for $602,500. Cindy Sherman's "Untitled #122" sold for $206,500. And Nan Goldin's "Ballad Triptych" sold for $218,500.

An altercation at the Holiday Inn Saturday night lead to the death of a man visiting the beach from Tampa, after police say he either jumped or fell from the 7th floor.
Panama City Beach Police were called to the Holiday Inn on Front Beach Road around 9:30p.m. to deal with a battery call.
Police made contact with a group of adults who had been drinking at the hotel bar together shortly before.
Duane Brust, 52, told police he got into a fight inside a hotel room with an acquaintance, Aaron Thompson, 22, after they left the bar.
Hotel security made contact with Thompson and told him to stay inside the room but Thompson walked away.
Moments later, the security guard heard a loud noise and police say Thompson either jumped or fell from the seventh floor. He landed on the roof top of the second floor.
First responders had to use the fire department's ladder truck to get to him. Thompson was breathing but unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at Bay Medical Center around 2 a.m.
Thompson was vacationing in Panama City Beach with his uncle and friends.

We're trying to get from Cracow to London in order to fly home on Virgin this summer. AFAICT all the intra-europe flights share the same luggage policy--20-25kg max luggage weight per passenger, with a overweight charge of 5-12 euros per kilo and no option for a second bag. We'd like to bring an extra suitcase of personal effects.
Lacking any other reasonable options, I had the bright idea of going EasyJet to London and just buying an extra $122 ticket so we could bring one more suitcase. But I'm not sure if that's even possible, and not sure if EasyJet is still going to hold me to the 20 kilos per person.
Anybody know?
What we ended up doing was flying first from Cracow to Frankfurt on Lufthansa, and then buying a completely separate ticket from Frankfurt to London (not even on the same itinerary). Cracow isn't big enough to have a lot of international options, and going to London leaves the Schengen zone. Trying to get directly from Cracow to London had too few choices. And Lufthansa has a reasonable baggage policy.

crawfords not starting.. you might wanna change that to houston
crawfords not starting.. you might wanna change that to houston
done. man.. i'm just looking at their road record.. 1-10.. they just beat the rockets in houston. and the worst part is that crawford is out..
i think that this is actually good.... i think there is no way on earth that were gonna lose this game it will be won and theres no doubt in my mind about that. So why not give houston his first real chance to be a primary unit get some big time minutes and really get into the flow of the game. I think we need to evaluate where hes really at and this si the perfect excuse for it without starting any jcrawford contreversy......other then that i remember zone d screwed us last game against charlotte so having houston's shooting threat out there would prob be a better choice then crawfords streaky shooting out there anyway. Crawford still takes too many adrenaline shots
ok MAYBE, it's a good thing that crawford is injured so Houston can take is place! But with jamal and penny on the injury list, we don't have much guars to replace steph and allan when they're tired
But noo damn i forgot about moochie who's gonna score 20 to replace crwford!
So, it's a really bad thing that the stupid celtic walked on his feet!
14th victory is coming...
big win has to come, we got to get out of this funk we are in. ah20 will be nice in the starting line up, and ariza should get some more mins too. i know its off the topic too but i'am stoked to watch shaq crush kobe tomorrow. still back to my knicks, they need to win, period. (giants too)
merry x-mas to everyone.
WhOO! TT with the dagger 3-pointer. He has just scored 8 of the Knicks last 10 points.
good win, overall good, they almost blew it, but still good. One of Tim Thomas's few good games....
and many more to come... until Zeke tries to trade him.Originally Posted by madskillz7312
whats up with starbury though he seems to be struggling not even getting 8 assists
marbury has been playing really lackadasical ever since the philly win ... hes not as agressive and its really been showing in his game
Marbury is still suffering from his flu. He is putting decent nummber for a sick person.

Besides, Mrs Bruni lives in the limelight and under flashes, and never, ever, has been seen without makeup, no matter how natural it may be. Being herself a model, Mrs Bruni knows fairly well the power of makeup before cameras. If she doesn't want to admit she wears Lancome because of the scandal which involves President Sarkozy, ok, let her wear Max Factor. But no lies, please.

Reviews for Chicken Chorizo Posole
"I teach at a school in California where about half the staff is Mexican-American. Posole is a favorite dish for potlucks and celebrations. We even had some for breakfast this week. Don't knock it unless you've tried it. My colleagues have been kind enough to share their recipes with me. The posole that we make around here is usually made with pork shoulder and a red chile sauce, so I was intrigued by the chicken, chorizo, and tomatillo approach. It was excellent. The only problem I had was roasting the veggies for the sauce. I used vegetable oil to grease the pan and it smoked like crazy in the oven. I had to turn the heat down to 350 degrees. Roasting on a "comal" or stove top grilling skillet or pan might work better. Make sure your chorizo has good size chunks of pork in it. I've bought some in the past that just turned into a runny mess of paprika and grease when cooked down. The only change I made was to use the traditional toppings (around here, anyway) that are placed out in separate bowls and added to the soup to taste, rather than as a salsa. These are shredded cabbage, finely chopped white onion and radishes, and more cilantro. I will definitely make this again, and I might even try the mango salsa."
"This recipe is delicious! Made if for my family tonight. Will definitely make it again!"
"I loved the flavor of this soup. I only seeded one of the jalapenos, it wasnt very spicy. Next time I wont seed either one of them."
"My family enjoyed this dish. It was delicious."
"Awesome- have made it twice and will make it again. I love the cool salsa and hot soup together, nice contrast of textures and flavors."

Christina Hendricks
Knoxville, Tennessee
"I didn't get a boob job. It's who I am. And I'm lucky to be on a show that celebrates it."
- Christina Hendricks
Sure, the hit cable show Mad Men is packed with razor-sharp dialogue and a fascinating look at 1960s-era office life (read: scotch for breakfast, sexual harassment for lunch and cigarettes all day long), but a lot of men tune in solely to catch Christina Hendricks' portrayal of Joan Holloway, a curvy, sultry character seemingly compromised of every fantasy-secretary cliché there is. How would you score a woman like Joan back in the day? Refer to AskMen's Pickup Tips From Mad Men for an idea.
Christina Hendricks BiographyThis ravishing redhead was actually born a blonde in Knoxville, Tennessee, circa 1978. She didn't really have a chance to acclimatize to that southern city's charm, as her parents moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, when she was just starting grade three.
It wasn't until high school, this time in Virginia, that Christina Hendricks was bitten by the acting bug. She had taken on a Goth persona and was ostracized by her preppy classmates. Shaken, Christina Hendricks went to one of the only places outcast teens can find solace; her high school drama department. It was there, amongst the downtrodden and nerdy, that her long journey to stardom began.
christina hendricks modelsLike many emerging actresses, Christina Hendricks' road to Hollywood took a detour through New York and London. The young American spent a few years modeling in those venerable cities' fashion industries -- this not only gave her the nest egg required to make a go of it in Hollywood, but it also gave her confidence in front of the camera. There was nowhere to go but up.
christina hendricks acts on cold case and las vegasChristina Hendricks went through the usual early career struggles of fruitless auditioning, but eventually broke through with a role in the TV movie Sorority. It wasn't exactly Citizen Kane, but she persevered and landed guest-spots on shows like Angel, Cold Case and Las Vegas.
Armed with obvious talents both physically and professionally, Christina Hendricks began getting bigger and bigger roles, including reoccurring ones on ER and the underappreciated sci-fi series Firefly. Big-time success seemed just around the corner -- she just needed her one big break.
christina hendricks on mad menThe producers of AMC's ambitious new show Mad Men needed a certain type of actress to play the seductress secretary Joan Holloway -- someone with brains, boobs and bravado. They found her in Christina Hendricks. She mastered the hip-heavy "shuffle" of screen sirens like Marilyn Monroe and used the costume department to its fullest to emphasize her physical gifts. However, real success came from the fact that she fell in love with the role.
She continues to win rave reviews as the show prepares for its 6th season. The producers were so impressed with her work that they have slowly elevated her character to be one of the series' most primary characters, a testament to this talented woman's skill and professionalism (and, yes, her jaw-dropping curves).
On October 11th, 2009, Christina and fellow actor Geoffry Arend (The Ringer, Garden State, 500 Days of Summer) married in New York City. They were introduced by her Mad Men costar Vincent Kartheiser earlier that year.

Headphones, i'm lost, and a previous thanks
Firstly, a big thanks to the informative topics some of you guys wrote and posted in. I finally managed to decide on a Cowon J3. It was a hard choice, but if only i was able to demo one, then it wouldn't of been
Anyhow, i was planning for new headphones, but even more so now my Bose IEs don't perform so well with the J3.
I was hoping that i wouldn't have to use peoples time by registering and asking for advice on headphones. But i'm really struggling to understand some of them, and how they sound due to no experience. I've registered over at iaudiophile to better my understanding even more.
My previous setup was a Walkman A818 with Bose IE and WMA 196kps (WMA > MP3 so i was led to believe over the years). That sounded good, and was happy. But wanted more recently. (forgive my descriptions now!) The treble/highs is 'put forward' and 'clear'. The mid 'kicks precisely' and well, with voice being clear at the same time. The lows, well there isn't any. A very light clean thump is what you get, unless the EQ comes into play. But this messes up the relationship with other sounds, quite noticeable on particular sections of music, but only now and then. The J3 gave them even more clarity, and that's on flat settings, used flat settings on the Walkman 90% of the time too. The 'soundstage' was good, but i know there's gotta be better due to my untrained ears.
A closed headphone is what i'm after. Pure isolation from the outside. I will in the near future, be buying some Vinyl decks to mix DnB, (wait there). They may also be used for video editing, i use a Rode mic with my camera to film bmx/trials. And will be using these when riding sometimes, when a helmet isn't required. They will be used at work (in a warehouse), but i won't be there forever so DJ/ Mixing is the highest priority. (one more thing), i may use these for gaming or films if the 'soundstage'? is good. Soundstage how you perceive noises to come from different areas from around you??
Music genres. Yeah i'm a DnB head, but the DnB i listen to has a large variation of sounds, while also becoming very busy with many different sounds sometimes. [BSE, Ed Rush, Gridlok, Prolix] for those aware of.
However, not straying to far away from there, Venetian Snares, Classical based albums.
Next up, Punk and Metal. [We're talking Slayer, Adolescents, Rancid, Blink] So yeah slightly contradicting in themselves even.
A big fan of any old game music and mixes. [Sonic Mayhem [quake] OC Remixes [voices of the lifestream!], Frank Klepacki, Bart Klepka, Zircon]
On a happier note. [The Sounds, Trocadero]
And it's probably is irrelevant now, but [DJ Hixxy [bonkers]]
--So a round up. Non mainstream DnB, Punk, Metal, Classical and all things electronic inbetween.
What would i like?
Clarity highs and vocals
Aggressive and precise on fast busy music
Real on form bass, not forced, or overdone
Spacious, large soundstage to get lost in
One sided replaceable cable.
Room (my ears are slightly bigger than average)
A box or case would be nice.
And the best durability if possible. Weight isn't and issue if comfort isn't completely poor.
OK, i suck. But i would like to be able to beatmatch while mixing and take advantage of the J3's EQ settings to bring out for highs or lows when required.
90% of my music is purchased and owned on CD. So FLAC is the game when i get round to re-ripping my CD collection. Currently in WMA lossless. The other 10% is Mp3 downloaded free stuff, unavailable to purchase.
Budget huh? Ideally £100 to £200 GBP. I was lucky to get my J3 for £150 straight from Korea.
Unfortunately in the nearest city, there isn't any places that demo all the brands. Only Bose, Sennheiser, Beats, Skullcandy. But i'm gonna keep looking.
From what i currently know and have read (i've read allot, i hide in the warehouse while my friend does the work, which we take in turns );
Shure 940. Smart, boxed, cables, studio monitoring, and can handle bass when EQ'd
Audio Technica M50s. Good allround studio monitor but poor soundstage
That's as far i've got to ones i like/ suit.
Hopefully not missed anything! Feel free to rip my questions/ ideas apart. I'm always open for improvement.
And again many thanks. PS, you may see this topic at iaudiophile.

Some more options:
Pioneer HDJ-2000
Ultrasone PRO750 or PRO900 (although you'd better audition them first as they are a polarizing headphone due to their unique approach to soundstage and high amount of harshness)
What you ask for sounds a bit contradictory. You want it to be very open sounding with a large soundstage, yet be closed and isolate well. The most open sounding headphones with great soundstage are open headphones like the Sennheiser HD598.
Perhaps you should consider an IEM(in the ear canal earphone), as some of those isolate better than any closed headphone. An IEM might also be able to give you the open sound sound you want, yet still isolate very well. If your focus is on treble and openness rather than bass, perhaps a balanced armature IEM might be the best idea.
I have been thinking about buying the Etomotic HF5 or Sony XBA-1. The Etomotic HF5 is one of the best(if not the best) isolating earphone. Some complain it doesn't have
enough bass. Another idea for an open sounding isolating earphone is a microdriver IEM. I have the $35 JVC HAFXC80. It has very open sound. on head-fi.org the Yamaha EPH-100 microdriver IEM($150) is very popular.
Do you want this to be compact? Smaller headphones usually don't isolate well, the exception being the Sennheiser HD25-1mk2.
Check out the Incase Sonic. I got them for $99, and they can even be found for $70. The SQ is so good I'm shocked. I'm also posting in the thread I'm linking to, so ask questions if you have any,...

The highs can be a bit sharp. But, like some of us would recommend, that's what an EQ is all about. I luv 'em,...the SQ is not what I was expecting. I thought I'd try them and return them. No way!!! They're a "KEEPER!!!".

Thanks for all the input. I've found a shop not overly far away which sells the SRH940 and ATH-M50s so going to see if i can go there and demo them. These two are still on my high list.
I've crossed the Ultrasone 750s off my list and the Denon1000s i think it was as well.
The AKG K550s seem very positive, if a little big.
JK98: yeah, you're right. Though i was hoping that there was something that existed that ticked the boxes. But i think closed headphones should suffice as isolation is still key. Had a look at them IEMs but i would like to try some overheads and they will be more practical for mixing.
Not keen on them Incase Sonics, they have fashion written all over them :P (yeah looks is something that i am taking into consideration)
As for FLAC, i was under the impression it's smaller and more versatile than WMA. At the time i wasn't ready for the move. I've currently had no isssues with WMA lossless on the J3 except cover art but that's probably easily sorted.
More suggestions/ criticisms are very much welcome.
just save all cover art as a cover.jpg image in the album's folder.
Also demoing Playlist Creation, seems promising.
How about the AKG K240 studio or Sennheiser HD380 pro for home use/editing, and a Sennheiser HD25-1 mk2 or VModa M80 for portable use? It seems like one headphone won't be best for all the things you want to do.

I said screw it yesterday and just bought the M50 coiled model for £130GBP. So if somehow i'm totally disappointed i will save these for mixing and just buy something that has a warmer or more coloured style. As yeah, JK98, two HPs might be best anyway as i was finding it incredibly hard to find something that ticked all boxes.
I'm gonna download Exact Audio Copy and probably go with FLAC. WMA i never found overly useful in it's lossless state. I'm now using MusicBee so shouldn't have any issues.
I got Sentinal head phones on a recomendation and it turns out to have too much base, and they have a swich in the ear pads that do not work right.
Then one of the plastic parts that hold the pads broke. Good thing for duct tape.
I will never buy plastic agian.
This was my thread from May last year dude! I've been through 4 headphones and 2 iems already, and have 2 dacs now too

JINS unveiled the JINS MEME device in May 2014 and is planning to release it in spring 2015. Using the built-in 3-point electro-oculography sensor, it detects the user's drowsiness, motivation, body balance and so on, and is able to sync the data on the user's smartphone.
Sony unveiled a waterproof headset device aimed at runners - Smart B-Trainer.
It is now displayed at the 2015 International CES that is being currently held in Las Vegas.
Smart B-Trainer supports your training and boosts your motivation to run. It tracks your body move and condition such as cardiac rate and body temperature while running and sends the data to an external device such as a smartphone.
It's been over a year since we last had the time to put a new NAS unit to the test. Today, the upgrade to Synology's 5-bay dream was left at our doorstep, so what else could we do than take this new DS1515+ powerhouse for a spin?!
3 new Nike AirMax models from their Kabutomushi Collection (AirMax Lunar 1 / AirMax Lunar 90 / AirMax 95) were released on December 28.
Kabutomushi is the Japanese word for a type of beetle. These new models were designed in the image of these Japanese beetles.
All 3 models feature metallic bumpy safari-like patterns, which express the texture and appearance of the insects.
Which is like, you know, pretty cool and stuff.
