HP no longer a Windows Phone 7 launch partner? Palm's webOS might be to blame
Earlier this year, when Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7, it also unveiled a list of hardware partners, which included HP, LG, Samsung, HTC, Sony Ericsson, Dell, Toshiba and Garmin-Asus.
Fast forward to now, when Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC 2010) is underway in Washington.
Yesterday, Steve Ballmer held a speech there, flavored with some PowerPoint slides. One of the slides showed both Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7 partners – and, as seen in the image below, HP was missing from the latter category.
Unless this is a mistake (I doubt it), HP has ditched plans to launch WP7 devices. Why would it do that? Well, because it probably wants to concentrate its mobile efforts on Palm (recently acquired for $1.2 billion) and its platform.
It's no secret that Palm's currently working on new smartphones and a new version of webOS, and HP has probably decided it can't (or doesn't want to) split its resources between webOS and WP7.
HP aside, Microsoft has reportedly confirmed that HTC, Samsung, LG and Dell would all launch Windows Phone 7 handsets "this fall" (Dell Lightning, anyone?). The remaining hardware partners (SE, Toshiba and Garmin-Asus) will likely have WP7 products starting early next year.

Michael Schofer, Coats Chief Supply Chain Officer, said: "As a business we have an ongoing commitment to reducing our impact on the environment and continuously improving the working conditions in our facilities worldwide. Having comprehensively tested Nansulate coatings we found they significantly reduced process energy whilst standing up to the harsh environment of an industrial dye house. We anticipate the change will have a dual effect: reducing our process steam consumption by over ten percent - and therefore our carbon footprint by around two percent - and significantly improving the working conditions in our dye houses, which is great news for both our business and the environment."
Coats first began reviewing Industrial Nanotech, Inc's patented nanotechnology-based insulation coatings with an application done at their Bursa, Turkey factory. After a thorough review by their engineers of energy consumption data and energy saving performance, Coats contacted Industrial Nanotech, Inc. to move forward with the sustainability project to reduce energy consumption and increase their sustainability.
"We are honored to participate in Coats' global energy saving initiative," stated Francesca Crolley, VP of Business Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. "Their company heritage spans three centuries, during which they have consistently continued to be an innovator in their field. They are one of the first to rollout Industrial Nanotech's new 'Sustainability Simplified™' platform, which provides manufacturers a simple way to reduce energy costs, lower carbon emissions, and become more sustainable. Our industry leading coating technology is easily applied to many types of equipment, such as dyeing machines, boilers, and steam pipes, as well as the building envelope, and in addition to providing thermal insulation, Nansulate provides corrosion prevention, mold resistance, chemical and flame resistance. We look forward to working with Coats to continue to reduce their environmental footprint and save money on their energy costs worldwide."
Crolley continues, "Coats' products are in everything from knitting yarns, to threads and zips for apparel and footwear; specialist thread for Major League baseballs to specially engineered threads used by NASA for parachutes and airbags. We are proud to work with them to bring further innovation to their prestigious company and assist their factories worldwide in reducing energy costs."

Time does not flow, as space does not flow.
We move through time and space as a single unit. We interact within the moment and with the objects occupying the space around us.
Images seem to be frozen in time and existing within a predetermined space. We end up capturing illusions of our own perceptions. Our memories can be distorted, lost or forgotten. We can shuffle them like the cards in a deck, and no one is the wiser. Everything has happened and everything is happening. There isn't a now, just as there isn't a here. Since we are moving, here is there and now is then.
Light, space, and time are the fundamentals of our reality. Without one, the others could not exist. They are equal and one in the same. Like a trinity existing independently and as a whole, simultaneously.
If we can look beyond our visual experiences and see a greater picture that stretches further than our perceptions, we could imagine the reality that is in front of us.
We move through time and space. They are static. We are objects just as the subjects in the viewfinder. Some objects move faster than others. Some seem to not move at all. All things moving on their own path through time and space.
Time does not flow, as space does not flow.
I have been carrying a camera with me for 25 years. I shoot the things in life, were I am. The subjects are usually not beautiful on their own, but somehow strike me by the beauty found in their commonality. Not the extraordinary, but the ordinary. Simple, usually quiet subjects that may go unnoticed. Black and white because, I guess that is the way I see. To me, my images feel a bit sad, a bit strange, a bit interesting, and the subjects, somehow unique. I hope you enjoy and thank you for visiting.

Use hoofs in a sentence
- This time she was not mistaken, the beat of hoofs echoed on the air, and it came from the north. [10]
- At that moment they heard the clatter of hoofs, and presently they saw a horse and rider pass the window. [11]

If you use a self-tanner, then you know how important it is to exfoliate before applying lest you wake the next morning with a splotchy faux tan. We've got to give props to Soapwalla's Almond Luxe Body Polish ($28). It scrubs on easily and buffs skin, helping it shed the deadened top layer to reveal the healthy layers underneath. It also smells soo good, which is more than we can say about our tanner!

But following an undeniably rocky road the little digital currency that could appears to be having the last laugh. A good read can be found here on how Bitcoin is beginning to go mainstream.
At this stage the obvious first question is why has the decentralized, 100% digital currency proven so resilient? Scientific American provides one good answer:
When they (a merchant) finalize a deal in Bitcoin, they do so knowing that the transaction can never be reversed. The Bitcoin network doesn't edit its ledger. As such, merchants no longer have to worry whether they are charging a stolen credit card.
"'The fraud mitigation is big for Internet merchants, because they are all handling card-not-present transactions. And the business has to eat the loss if the payment is reversed later on,"' Gallippi says. "'Using Bitcoin, a business can receive a payment from any country on the planet, instantly, with no risk of fraud."'In addition to helping cut down on fraud costs for merchants, Bitcoin is chic. Using Bitcoins to transact business is a mark of digital savvy for both tecno hipsters and the merchants who cater to them.
What the future ultimately holds for Bitcoin is less interesting to me than a more general issue, which is the apparent growing trend in alternative currencies coming into existence.
We have already seen some Congressional saber rattling about Bitcoin prior to its flash crash. Will governments continue to tolerate it, Bristol's new pound note, etc., while they remain small? Or will we see a more formal move in the not too distant future to stamp out these fledgling alternatives to government fiat money? As the article points out, government's might have a hard time shutting down Bitcoin:
But perhaps most consequential for the future of Bitcoin—in order to shut down a peer-to-peer currency exchange, one would have to terminate every node on the network. The few lawyers who have studied Bitcoin all agree that the currency inhabits a legal gray area. No one really knows how governments would react if it gains traction, but many consider the exchanges to be the easiest target for people who want to regulate Bitcoin. Decentralizing the exchanges would make that job nearly impossible. Bitcoin developers are quickly proving that they can design decentralized alternatives to even the most sophisticated financial institutions.

New Era Under Chris Walker Begins Friday At 8 p.m.
November 8, 2012
Texas Tech Notes | Prairie View Notes | Big 12 Notes
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech kicks off the 2012-13 basketball season against Prairie View A&M on Friday night at 8 p.m. at the United Spirit Arena under first-year head coach Chris Walker.
Walker becomes the 15th head coach in Texas Tech history. The previous 14 head coaches have gone 7-7 in their program debut. Texas Tech's last three head coachse – Bob Knight (2001-08). Pat Knight (2008-11) and Billy Gillispie (2011-12) – each won their Lubbock debut.
The Red Raiders are 12-1 in season openers since the United Spirit Arena in 1999. Texas Tech has won 12 straight, since dropping the 1999-00 season opener to Indiana.
Last season, Texas Tech topped Troy, 90-85, in the season opener in front of a USA crowd of 10,088. It was the 72nd largest crowd in United Spirit Arena history for the Red Raiders and the largest crowd for a season opener since Nov. 19, 2004, when 10,296 saw the Red Raiders top UNC-Ashville, 119-55.
Overall, Texas Tech is in the midst of starting its 88th season of college basketball. Since the school opened its doors in 1925, the Red Raiders have gone 60-27 (69.0 percent) in season openers and 63-24 (72.4 percent) in home openers.
This will mark the third time that the Red Raiders have opened the season against Prairie View A&M. Tech topped the Panthers, 111-84, to open the 1995-96 and then beat Prairie View, 82-53, to kick off the 2000-01 season.
In all, Texas Tech has squared off with Prairie View A&M five times, coming out victorious in all previous five meetings. The Red Raiders have won the five contests by an average score of 94-64.
The Red Raiders trailed the Panthers 11-9 with 12:55 remaining in the first half before going on a 19-3 scoring run.
Gregory Burks ended a six-minute scoring drought for Prairie View (0-2) with a 3-pointer that cut the gap to 23-14, but Jamal Brown responded with a 3-point basket, and Mikey Marshall added three points as Texas Tech to a 29-14 lead.
Texas Tech (1-0) led 37-21 at halftime. They pushed the lead to 50-29 early in the second half on a layup by Andy Ellis.
The Panthers were led by Xavier Lee's 21 points. Burks had 17.
The Panthers have been tabbed as the preseason favorite to win the SWAC this season and look to make their first appearance in the NCAA Championships since 1998.
Prairie View A&M returns its top seven scorers from last season, which accounts for 79.9 percent of the Panthers' offense. They are led by Jourdan DeMunick (10.1 points and 4.3 rebounds), Louis Munks (9.6 points and 2.7 rebounds) and Ryan Gesiakowski (9.5 points and 2.4 rebounds.
Texas Tech is the first of five opponents that the Panthers will face from the Big Six conferences. Prairie View will also face Texas A&M, TCU, UCLA and California.
Four of the last six Red Raider head coaches have made the jump from Texas Tech assistant coach to head coach. Walker joins Pat Knight, James Dickey and Gerald Myers to make the jump to head coach.
Panther assistant coach Randy Washington is a 1986 graduate of Texas Tech University. He was a former student-athlete for the Red Raiders, where he competed for Corky Oglesby on the track and field team. He competed in the pole vault. Prior to his arrival at Tech, he was on the track and field team at South Plains College.
Texas Tech redshirt freshmen Toddrick Gotcher will be reunited with former high school teammate Babajidne Aina, who is a freshman guard on the Panther roster.
Panther Carl Blair, who will sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules, has faced Texas Tech four times as a member of the Oklahoma Sooners. Blair averaged 4.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists against Texas Tech.
Texas Tech guard Jamal Williams, Jr. is from Brooklyn (NY) Pacific High School, while Prairie View guard Rasi Jenkins is from Brooklyn (NY) Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School.
Texas Tech forward Kader Tapsoba is from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Africa, while Prairie View's Mayol Riathin is from Western Bahr el Ghazal, South Sudan, Africa. The two areas of Africa are approximately 1,800 miles apart.
These three combined to produce 48.2 percent of the offense for the Red Raiders last season.
Also returning are redshirt freshman Toddrick Gotcher (7.3 points), Luke Adams (4.2 points) and Clark Lammert (3.0 points), give the Red Raiders 60 percent of its offense from last season.
Prior to his injury, Gotcher was averaging 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists. He played in just nine games last season, including eight starts, averaging 29.9 minutes per game.
Tolbert averaged 11.5 points per game as a freshman, to go along with 5.7 rebounds per game. He scored in double figures 16 times last season and recorded a pair of double-doubles.
He ranked in the top 15 in scoring and rebounding in the Big 12 and earned the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week honor just after Christmas.
Tolbert twice netted 27 points twice last season against TCU and Cal State-Bakersfield. Those two outputs rank in the top five for a freshman at Texas Tech.
In all, he netted 20 points five times last season. He ranks in the top five for Texas Tech freshman in scoring average, total points, rebounding and field goal percentage.
After a two-year career at Midland College, Nurse transferred to Texas Tech last season, where he played in 30 games and earning 24 starts.
In his Red Raider debut, he netted 29 points against Troy in last year's season opener. Nurse finished second on the squad in scoring (8.9 points).
Nurse is one of the nation's best free throw shooters in the nation. He finished the year with a 90.4 percent free throw shooting average and only missed six free throws all year. At one point, he had made 27 straight. For six weeks, he led the nation in free throw percentage.
Thursday also marked the debut of first-year head coach Chris Walker, who saw his Red Raiders jump out to a 54-26 halftime lead.
Kravic, who sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, netted 16 points and pulled down six rebounds, while Trency Jackson chipped in 13 points, Dusty Hannahs had 12 and Daylen Robinson added 10.
Texas Tech jumped out to a 23-6 lead with 10:56 to play in the first and increased the margin to 54-26 going into the break thanks in large part to the Red Raiders' ability to connect on 64.5 percent from the field.
The shooting went somewhat cold in the second half, as Texas Tech connected on just 14 of 38 shots from the first (36.8 percent).
In all, 12 of the 13 Red Raiders scored on the night and eight different players netted at least five points on the night for a balanced scoring attack.

Did any of you experience trouble ttc #2 after '09 LO? We've been trying for almost a year. I had a m/c in July and then diagnosed with hypothyroid in Oct. I've been on Synthroid since then and my #'s are just about where they need to be to TTC. I am hoping this is the only thing that has been inhibiting us from getting pregnant again. Dh does not want to have a SA, IUI or IVF. I have been taking clomid for the past 2 cycles and have been making 3-4 follicles so the dr is happy with how I am responding. This month will be round 3.
Any stories of hope are greatly appreciated!

What are Transversal Line? The line which intersects two distinct lines in a plane at two distinct points is called a transversal. In the below figure, line 't' is transversal to lines l and m, intersecting these two lines at points A and B.
Also, we observe in the below figure, line 't' is not transversal line because it intersects line l and m at one point only.
Angles made by the transversal with two lines: l and m are two lines in a plane. Transversal 't' intersects these two lines at points A and B. Eight angles are formed, i.e., ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6, ∠7, ∠8. The angles marked have their special names.
Interior angles: Angles whose arms include AB are called interior angles. In the given figure, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6 are interior angles. Exterior angles: Angles whose arms do not include AB are called exterior angles. In the given figure ∠1, ∠2, ∠7, ∠8 are exterior angles. Pair of corresponding angles: These are pair of angles: • Which lie on the same side of the transversal. • If one is an interior angle, the other will be an exterior angle. • They do not form a linear pair. In the figure, corresponding angles are: (∠2, ∠6); (∠3, ∠7); (∠1, ∠5); (∠4, ∠8) Pair of alternate angles: These are pairs of angles: • Which lie on opposite sides of transversal. • Both are either exterior angles or both are interior angles. • They do not form a linear pair. In the given figure, alternate angles are: (∠4, ∠6); (∠3, ∠5) these are interior alternate angles. In these pair of arms, arm AB is included. (∠1, ∠7); (∠2, ∠8) these are exterior alternate angles. They do not include arm AB. Pair of co-interior or conjoined or allied angles: These are pairs of interior angles which lie on the same side on the transversal. In the given figure, co-interior angles are (∠3, ∠6); (∠4, ∠5) Results when two parallel lines are cut by the transversal:
When parallel lines 'l' and 'in' are cut by the transversal line 't' then • Pairs of corresponding angles are equal ∠2 = ∠6, ∠3 = ∠7, ∠1 = ∠5, ∠4 = ∠8 • Pairs of alternate angles are equal ∠4 = ∠6, ∠3 =∠5 , ∠ 1 = ∠7, ∠2 = ∠8 • Interior angles on the same side of transversal are supplementary ∠6 = 180°, ∠4 + ∠ 5 = 180°Converse: When two lines are cut by a transversal and if • pairs of corresponding angles are equal • or pairs of alternate angles are equal • or interior angles on the same side of transversal are supplementary. Then two lines are said to be parallel to each other.● Lines and Angles

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Boxing results 2014 last night featured stellar rounds between Pacman and Bradley. But who won the Pacquiao fight last night, who was the winner of the Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight for April 12, 2014 ? By unanimous decision, Manny Pacquiao won last night's fight, reclaiming the WBO Welterweight title belt. So when is that Pacquiao vs. Mayweather 2015 fight? For now, the future of Pacquiao Mayweather seems as dead as ever.
Boxing results last night for the Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight April 12, 2014 featured Bradley winning some of the middle rounds. But the real key, as predicted by LALATE on Saturday, was stamina. Pacquiao real came on strong in later rounds as Pacman tried for a knockout. Final boxing results went to the cards after twelve rounds. Two judges gave it 116-112 to Pacman, the other judge ruled it 118-110 for Pacquiao.
Last night's results for Pacquiao vs. Bradley II were far different than the previous meeting of these two boxers. Pacquiao ended strong and really dominated the later rounds. There was no dispute that Manny Pacquiao won last night's fight. For the sport itself, it was one of the most exciting, best balanced fights in years. After years of Manny and Floyd Mayweather of being accused of picking lackluster opponents, this was a great fight. Bradley clearly won the third and fifth rounds last night. But by later rounds, the fight just got away from Bradley. Bradley failed to pick up critical rounds toward the end.
After the fight, Bradley told news "I have no excuses. Pacquiao was the better man tonight." He said that Pacman was a difficult open to get to. "He never ducks an opponent". When asked about Bradley after the fight, Pacman told ESPN "He gave me a good fight. He's not that easy. I listened to my corner about keeping my hands up and timing. He threw a lot of punches. He threw wide, wide, wide hooks. I got hit one time and said it's not good to be careless."
And what did Freddie Roach think of Pacman's performance? Roach told ESPN "Manny was a little sloppy tonight but I was happy with his performance. It looked like Bradley was going for a one-punch home run." For more about last night's fight, click HERE.

"I ain't no lady … I'm a newspaper woman."
Hazel Brannon Smith
"I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired."
Fannie Lou Hamer
"If I die, I die for something."
Unita Blackwell
JACKSON – All are quotes from Joan Sadoff's "Pieces From the Past-Voices of Heroic Women in Civil Rights," which the Philadelphia, Penn., clinical social worker has published recounting the roles eleven brave women played in Mississippi's civil rights struggle.
Of them, four – Hazel Brannon Smith, Betty Pearson, Florence Mars and Joan Trumpauer Mulholland – are whites who took courageous stands during the 1950s or 1960s that could ruin them financially or bring family estrangement.
The seven African-American women – Unita Blackwell, Constance Slaughter Harvey, Annie Devine, June Johnson, Winson Hudson, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Mae Bertha Carter, not only endured threats but on occasions bodily injury for seeking black voting rights.
Several such as Hamer and Devine left a lasting political impact that broke down racial barriers in the Democratic Party. Others such as Harvey, Hudson and Carter were identified with historic educational breakthroughs.
Hamer (who died in 1977) became a civil rights legend for her "sick and tired" words in seeking recognition of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party delegation at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. The MFDP challenge, though unsuccessful, marked the turning point that brought blacks into the decision-making process of the national party.
Harvey, who in 1970 became Ole Miss's first black female law graduate, recounts that a fellow student, later a Rankin County district attorney, called her by the "N" word when she enrolled in 1967. She also tells of being racially insulted by a judge before whom she defended Pearl High students arrested for protesting the lack of a Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday observance.
When dozens of Northern whites poured into Mississippi for the 1964 "Freedom Summer," Blackwell, then 31, left the cotton fields near tiny Mayersville, and became involved. First, to register as a voter, something she never tried before. The tall black woman stood out when several blacks appeared at the Issaquena County courthouse. Though armed white men ringed the courthouse, Unita and her companions stood firm. Eventually she was registered, and when Mayersville was incorporated in 1976, she was elected its first mayor. At age 50 she was awarded an advanced degree from Amherst in regional planning and used it to establish several federally subsidized low-cost housing communities.
Joan Trumpauer came down from her native Virginia to enroll at Tougaloo College in 1960. Remarkably she was arrested as a Freedom Rider and sent to Parchman Penitentiary in 1961, and then took part in the historic 1963 Woolworth lunch counter sit-in with other Tougaloo students.
In later years (now married, adding Mulholland to her name) she returned to Virginia to teach school in Arlington. Often she puts flowers at the grave of Medgar Evers, who is buried in Arlington Military cemetery "to reflect on what it took for America to change."
Though called a "traitor to your heritage" by her Delta plantation father, Betty Pearson accepted appointment to the state advisory committee to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, then joined the biracial state delegation to the 1968 Democratic National Convention that unseated the state's "regular" delegation. Pearson, from the small town of Glendora and her close friend from college Florence Mars, of Philadelphia, became racial justice advocates after attending the Emmett Till murder trial in nearby Sumner. Two white men were quickly acquitted of murdering the 14-year-old black Chicago youth. Later, they admitted committing the crime in a Look Magazine article.
It was the now-deceased Mars, member of a distinguished Neshoba County family, who tipped me that Klansmen had burned rural Mount Zion Church and beaten the church's elders, the incident that brought the three doomed civil rights workers into the county.
Lexington weekly editor Hazel Smith's courageous story is told through my eulogy at her funeral in her native Gadsden, Ala., in 1994. Smith's Lexington Advertiser had to close its doors in the 1980s after the powerful Holmes County Citizens Council for years hounded her, beginning after she spoke out against the local sheriff who shot a black man in the back without cause. That 1955 episode began her tough editorial crusade against racism and bigotry that turned the business and professional community against her. In 1964, the Pulitzer Committee awarded her its editorial prize for her courageous stand.
I had concluded: "If ever the martyrs to a free press are assembled in heaven, Hazel Brannon Smith will be in the front rank."
Sadoff, moved by events she had seen on television, 20 years ago decided to give voice to Mississippi's civil rights heroes. She organized a "Philadelphia to Philadelphia" odyssey that brought together citizens from the like-named cities in Pennsylvania and Mississippi to mark the state's racial progress. "These are stories of people who believed they could make a difference, and change the status quo," Sadoff writes. She chose to dedicate her book to extraordinary women of the civil rights era because most stories of those days were about men.

If you're planning to have more than one child, it's good to know that designers are producing baby equipment that can evolve with the needs of a growing family. Mima's Kobi is a stroller that has been designed with the family in mind. Not only is it stunningly stylish, it has a patented 'carrycot inside' system - allowing easy conversion from seat to carrycot, and back again. Read More
As a manly man who will eschew a shopping trolley in favor of carting a multitude of plastic shopping bags (on the rare occasion I forget my more environmentally friendly cloth bag, mind you) to the car - only to find I don't have the third hand required to find my keys and open the boot - I would probably be the perfect candidate for the Yoke Shopper. This ingeniously simple device allows shoppers to lock together a number of plastic shopping bags and carry them on a shoulder.Read More
The design team that brought us the Alma crib has taken their Fresco baby chair to the furniture equivalent of an auto-mechanic shop, lacquering it in new-car-quality high-gloss red and adding an extra design function. The limited edition Fresco Fiamma was rolled out by the four designer dads behind Bloom to celebrate the company's third birthday. The global production has been limited to 1,100 units that come individually inscribed with a unique model number. Read More
March 6, 2008 Innovative industrial design company think/thing has designed a car seat which is not only functional but also ticks all the boxes in terms of beauty and design. The colorful egg-shaped Nestt is a safe and easy-to-use car seat for your baby or toddler. Made from a closed cell polymer material that's easy to clean, breathable and soft due to the incorporated air-pockets, the unique shock absorbent design provides side impact protection and features a cast-metal base which snaps into the car's latch system and allows you to swivel the seat with one hand and rotate it towards the car door. If you've ever tried to put a squirming child into a car seat you will immediately see the benefits of being able to swivel them towards you to secure or release them. Read More
February 14, 2008 The Trunki is a kid's suitcase with a difference: it's a seat, a ride-on toy, a carry-on container for in-flight toys and a tow-along bag. The Trunki has a capacity of 18 litres so there's plenty of room to pack favorite toys and games, snacks and even some spare clothes and at just 1.7 kg (3.8 pounds) and 46 x 20 x 30.5 cm (18" x 7.9" x 12"), it's easy to stow-away once on board. The integrated wheels and specially designed stabilizers help make a strong base for little ones and the extra wide wheel base allows for smooth cornering. The Trunki is made from strong but lightweight plastic material and kids will love the bright color combinations. The towing handle and shoulder strap allow parents to move quickly if need be and the extra-strong hooks mean they can tow several toddlers at once. Read More
February 13, 2008, According to the EPA, if consumers bought more recycled environmentally-friendly products, not only would they help to make the recycling process a success, they would also put pressure on manufacturers to produce high-quality recycled products. Toy manufacturers are often among the worst offenders when it comes to excess packaging and plastic toys but now a UK company has developed a range of children's toys which are not only made of recycled material but are also themselves recyclable.Read More
January 7, 2007 An invention that parents-on-the-go will love, Go-Go Babyz' unique Infant Cruizer travel system is designed to easily transport your baby without taking him or her out of the car seat. The Infant Cruizer simply attaches to a car seat and turns it into a wheeled pull-cart, reducing the need for a stroller on both short and long-distance trips.Read More
July 26, 2005 As computer chips get more powerful and cheaper at an exponential rate, we're going to see toys, cars, shoes, hats and even door knobs becoming surprisingly intelligent. How intelligent? Meet Amazing Amanda. Amanda is a 21" interactive doll that utilises voice recognition, sensory technology and articulated animatronics, so she can play the role of a baby girl more authentically than you'd have thought possible. Like a real toddler, Amanda can show the whole gamut of human emotions including laughing and crying and after an initial five minute bonding session (AKA voice recognition induction session) she even recognises her own 'mother's' voice and responds differently to mum compared with strangers! Amanda can talk, respond to questions and loves to play games and sing songs! She interacts with her food, potty and hair accessories, knows when she is being fed, having her hair brushed and can be programmed to wake at the same time every morning to act as a pseudo alarm clock. She remembers mothers day, birthdays and through realistic animatronics, shows her feelings in her facial movements and voice responses. Does this sound like science fiction? Amazing Amanda hits the shelves in the US, UK and Australia next month with a retail price in the vicinity of US$100.Read More
There are few moments in one's life which compare for sheer panic to that moment when you realise that your child is lost in a dangerous environment. A new combined baby and child monitor has been introduced in the UK that should significantly aid in reducing that terror. Using a wireless Radio Frequency transceiver system, the Boardbug Baby and Child Monitor is designed to help parents keep tabs on their babies and children. The Boardbug is small, has a range of up to 150 metres and a range of compelling functionality. As well as being a fully functional digital watch, the Boardbug operates in two modes - baby and child - and offers eight key functions. Read More

Snark bright, snark light first snark I see tonight! Hippo and goat and lurk as you like!
Cornish hens remind me of that Boost Wireless commercial... have you seen it HummingLondon?? The lady is standing by a Rolls Royce or something trying to unlock it with her keyless entry thing and is on the phone "Everybody gets their own baby chicken on their own baby plate" then she asks her husband "why isn't this thing working?" and he says "because we drive a station wagon" or something like that.. ahhh.. guess you had to see it for it to be funny.. lol
HG (Dec '12) - 25 weeker with bilateral PVL and CP
I think I need to leave work and go straight to WalMart so I can have my picture taken.
I saw my reflection walking into my building and my slip grew to be 2" longer than my dress. So I tugged it up (happy that no one was coming in at the same time) and went straight to the bathroom to fix it.
Not only is it apparently meant to go under a maxi-dress, it has a huge gapy slit from the bottom halfway up the back. My dress is thin enough that you can see the gap.
Andi and Taygen - sorry you're having to go through that! Hope all is well
lhatchling - I totally know the commercial you're talking about

My sisters ex bf once asked me why I care if my food is attractive or not, and I told him bc I don't eat with my eyes closed. what a dummy
Me: What else would you like for breakfast? Something starchy, like a cracker?
DD: A cupcake?
Me: No...
DD: A lollipop?
Technically, I guess a cupcake is starchy, but where does she get the idea I'd go for either?
Hahaha enomodnar - no, at least not because you don't have a slip .

Law Building, Lower Level
1001 Bissonnet
"Conversations with the Director" is a new series with Museum director Gary Tinterow, who engages an eclectic roster of guests in one-on-one conversations about the arts. Past speakers in 2013 were artist Jeff Koons and Dr. Ruth Westheimer.
The third discussion of 2013 brings arts patron and noted collector Ronald S. Lauder to the MFAH. In 2001, Lauder established the Neue Galerie in New York, the landmark museum devoted to early 20th-century German and Austrian art and design. In this conversation, he discusses his years of collecting art, from antiquities and medieval art to modern masters, as well as his passion for Austrian and German art of the early 20th century. On September 29, Koloman Moser: Designing Modern Vienna, 1897–1907, an exhibition organized by the Neue Galerie, opens at the MFAH.

When a customer interacts with more than one marketing channel how should credit for the order be parsed?
Smart marketers all over the world are wrestling with this difficult question, and for good reason. Efficient marketing demands that we understand which ad buys are productive and which are less so. Perfect understanding would allow us to generate sales, new customers, and leads with maximum efficiency. Unfortunately perfect understanding is impossible, but we think reasonably good understanding is not far off.
RKG is wading into the fray with what we hope will be a game-changing solution. We think we have a system that fits the need in terms of flexibility, sophistication, and affordability. More on that in the coming weeks.
Before we talk about the range of solutions, let's lay out the challenges all attribution systems face.
Any data driven process depends on having reasonably accurate information. Part of the challenge is collecting data on all the interactions a buyer has with different marketing initiatives. Even for an online pure play, this is not trivial.
- What is the value of a display ad impression, and can we tie them to an order number?
- How should we think about "unopened" emails?
- How much information do we lose due to javascript tracking?
For advertisers with significant direct mail activity more challenges arise:
- Can we match the mailing history to web orders dynamically at the time of checkout? Yes for many cases, but no for folks with very recent address changes or people on prospect mailing lists.
- How do we fold in match-back information? Since we often can't link the person who placed a web order to our mailing list dynamically, we have to back-fill this information later. This creates a need to re-calculate the attributions for affected orders.
For advertisers with a wide brick and mortar footprint, who mail circulars, do TV and radio spots, have store signage, etc. we enter the realm of impossibility.
Clearly perfect is impossible, the challenges are material but getting closer to the truth still carries significant potential benefits.
The data is imperfect and messy, but once we have that data how we handle it is not trivial either.
We have to think about the following:
- Can we distinguish between brand and competitive/non-brand search for both natural and paid?
- Can we fold in results of lift tests for display ads, catalog mailings, email?
- How should we handle multiple interactions with the same ad? This is particularly important with display ad impressions.
- Should organic search on competitive phrases count as a marketing channel for this analysis?
- Over what time period should ads be active? Hard windows seem odd: the ad gets 100% credit if it's within 30 days but at 31 that drops to 0? At the same time if the only ad touch was 82 days ago, should it get credit for the whole order? Part of it? If part, what gets credit for the rest of the order?
- Some channels cannibalize sales from others. With affiliates, control tests are impossible. That is, we'd like to know what fraction of folks who get to an affiliate site by typing in "[My brand] Coupon" would have bought from us at full price, with no commission, in the absence of that ad. Absent that test, how much should we depreciate those types of touches?
Perhaps the most important piece to consider: What actions can we take based on the information?
- Regardless of the credit given to email, because it is so cheap, do we even care what's incremental and what isn't?
- If it turns out that affiliates should only get 40% of the credit they're currently getting, can we pay them accordingly or is it an all or nothing proposition?
The levers over which we have complete control and for which we spend significant dollars seem to be paid search, display advertising and direct mail. Shifts in the views of these programs have the greatest potential for improved resource allocation. If some of the other channels are stealing credit from these programs or vice-versa, the opportunities for impacting the P & L become meaningful.
Next week I'll outline what might be viewed as "Good, better, and best" solutions for attribution management. A simple, basic solution may make sense for many, complex heuristic models will make sense to some, and more advanced statistical models may be worthwhile for others. Along with descriptions of each, I'll toss out some other important considerations for folks thinking of implementing any of these.

I seemed to have picked up a new hobby as I no longer have an interest in videogames or browsing the depressing depths of the internet.
For days I was staring at the wall, focusing on nothing in particular. Through the windows of this barrier you could see the outside shrouded in total darkness, with unusual silence to match.
It was 2:30 in the morning when the telephone rang, breaking the mindless trance.
I answered with a basic greeting,
"What the fuck do you want?"
"Meet me at the store as soon as possible.", the caller replied in a cold voice.
"Why should I?"
His response and without specifics, yet it seemed to be backed with great meaning. "Because you face great regret if you don't."
There was a pause before I heard the signal that the line was dead.
I attempted to start my car, but it was unresponsive like the lifeless wilderness around. I left the key in the ignition again, the battery was drained.
There was a feeling of confusion in my hazy mind. I felt there was no reason to see this guy, but no reason not to. I grabbed my .50 cal muzzleloader, sheathed my bayonet to my side, holstered a Taurus The Jusdge with a decent supply of ammunition and headed into the darkness.
As I walked down the roads, I could here nothing but my rocky footsteps breaking the scilence and it seemed as if any light I seen was straining to penetrate the darkness. It felt as if the world was lifeless during the hour of travelling before I arrived at the store.
A man around my age was sitting on a splintery old bench against the store's wall.
Using his hand, he made a guesture singaling me to come near."come on over.", he said.
As I got within five feet of him he said, "You must be Eric, or as they er, write?, geterkikzkid."
"Possibly.", I replied.
"Well, whatever. Here have one." He offered me a cigarette, I felt no need to decline it, like it or not.
I walked up to the nearby vending machine and asked, "You want somethin'?". He said "already got somethin'." rasing a bottle of liquor.
The machine's dying light source flickered a few times as I inserted a few quarters to buy a Coca-Cola. "I'll get that." the guy said as he leaned forward, popping the cap off the drink with a rusty bottle opener. Which he obviously used to open his hard drink.
I took a swig, "Thanks, but I know we're not here to socialize. What are we doing?
"You're experiences have left you clueless. The next step's soon to come."
"Speak." I said.
"We have a place to be! I canot tell you as I do not know exactly. But we will get there."
He had difficulty rising from his seat, I could tell it was more than a sleeping leg, He was already starting to experience drunkness from the booze.
"Uh, you seem a bit tipsy. Maybe you should let me drive us there.", I suggested.
He was quick to agree, "Maybe you're right, here's the keys!" he stumbled as he sloppily tossed them to me.
His vehicle was a rickity old pickup. It was an abused beige Ford Ranger from the '80s. As we boarded, he opened another bottle of whatever the baverage of high alcohol.
We drove a long way. The vehicle seemed to drive suprisingly smooth for it's state, though it did wobble and there was occasional backfire.
It was a quite ride except for the vehicle noises and the voice of the exshuasted guy saying crap like "keep going this way".
I have driven a couple hours before the needle on the gas guage was running fairly close to "E". I pulled into a nearby gas station. When I arrived at the pump, the pumpguy said "You shouldn't have done that.".
I clutched the steering wheel, was it possible this guy was in on this, too? No. The guy told me "You shold've stopped at that interection there. A dumbass driver plowed through the stopsign last week 'n' it hasn't been replaced yet. Gotta stop through there 'cause the boys haull ass 'round here. Now what'll it be?"
"Just fill it up." I answered.
"Ya sure? It's three thiry-seven a gallon 'n' we don't take checks."
"Yeah I'm sure. Just do it, man."
He said, "Fine, whatever." and mumbled something else as he opened the gas door. But what's he gonna do? Spit in the gas?
As I watched the numbers rise on the pump's guage, I could see the pumpguy through the corner of my eye.
He was a trashy looking man who seemed to be in his later thirities. He was wearing raggish coveralls that were marked with the gas station's logo. This guy looked like he was going through some trouble and probably didn't like his job too much.
The flow of gasoline stopped and the pump guy pulled the nozzle a few times to top off the gas. He closed the gas door and approched the window.
"That'll be sixty-seven bucks 'n' forty cents.", he said with a tired look on his face.
I handed him a 50, a 20, and eight one dollar bills through the window. "Here's sixty eight."
He paused for a momemt.
"Here's sixty cents." the pumpguy said as he handed two quarters and a dime. Just as worn and unpleasant looking as the money I paid him.
We drove several down the highway. The sun started to show on the horizon.
My 'partner' killed the silence with a yawn. "I'm gettin' tired. Let's stop off at a hotel 'n' get some sleep."
"Yeah, there is a town coming up in a few more miles. I don't feel too tired, but I do feel crappy. Sure, but your payin' half."
By the time we reached a Motel, it was already fairly light out. The was no-one at the service desk, so I rang the service bell.
The hotel guy seemed just as zombie-like as the pump guy, but this one was wearing a collared shirt, glasses and had black greasy hair.
still half asleep, Motel guy rubbed his eye and took a sip of steaming black coffee from a cracked mug.
"Give us a room for a night."
"Gimmee money."
I gave him some money and he gave me a rusty old key.
"Yer room is number, uh... four. Checkout is at four, don't steal shit."
This motel was a grimey old place, I'm sure a fair number of fools have pleasantly swapped diseases in the beds.
It only had eight rooms, an office and a lobby.
As I walked into room four, I began coughing violently.
My partner, who's name remains unknown, said "I'll help ya out." as he slapped my back in a forceful manner.
When he did this, I spewed up a dark red ink-like substance that reeked of a rancid stench, and a hint of lavender.
"See? Your body purged the darkness. You are the one for the tasks that lie ahead. Well, I'm goin to bed." He then went to sleep and hasn't said anything since.
I am now lying on the bed, writing the events on my Android smartphone to keep you guys on Deviantart updated and as a log for future reference.
Luckily this motel has wifi as cellular service is shitty out here. Whatever town this is.
It has been major relief since I puked up that shit. I actually feel more than relief, it feels as if I was losing connection with my spiritual force.
I'm going to sleep with a gun in one hand 'cause I still can't trust this guy or this place.
I'm going to sleep after I fix up the wound some more. I'll try to keep you informed.

Sure, they're a bit out of your usual budget, but can you really put a price on owning a piece of the Pleistocene? These Fossilized Woolly Mammoth Geometric Signature Earrings ($14,380) make honest-to-goodness pieces of prehistoric beast their focus. And though we'd hardly call mammoth "sustainable," the pieces in these earrings were at least acquired in line with fair trade principles.

The solo show gave the legendary Texas power trio the chance to play a few more newer tracks from the group's latest studio effort, "La Futura." New tunes usually mean bathroom breaks, but the loyal audience never thinned.
The "La Futura" material included the heavy-hitting "Chartreuse" and the grooving "Flyin' High." However, the centerpiece of the new tunes was "I Gotsa Get Paid," which is actually a cover of rapper DJ DMD's "25 Lighters." No, Gibbons wasn't rapping. Instead, the trio reinvented the song as a blues-heavy Lightnin' Hopkins tribute.
The only true downside to the Labor Day Weekend gig was its set length, which left fans wanting more. Still, the band did play 18 tunes to the loud, partying crowd.The show featured ZZ Top hits – "Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Sharp Dressed Man," "Legs," "La Grange" and "Tush" – as well as covers that have been in the Rock Hall inductee act's set for years. There was Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" and Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock." The latter ended what felt like an all-too brief, albeit fun, night of classic rock and blues.

I'm studying Silverman's complex analysis but this book seems a lot slack. I have a question in page273:
Suppose $f(z)$ is a nonconstant analytic at $z_0$ with $f(z_0)$=0. Then, by the corollary to Theorem 8.13, there exists a neighborhood of $z_0$ that contains no other zeros of $f(z)$. Thus we may express $f(z)$ as $f(z)=(z-z_0)^k F(z)$ ($k$ a positive integer), where $F(z)$ is analytic at $z_0$ with no zeros in the neighborhood or on its boundary $C$.
I can't understand the last sentence(bold fonts). How can we know there is a factor $(z-z_0)^k$ and even more $F(z)$ is analytic?
I also have Ahlfors' book so you can give me references in Silverman or Ahlfors.

In order to upgrade a database with no client disconnects, I clone an existing database and put it in a readonly mode. Now, I want all user traffic to be redirected from the original database to the cloned one (both are on the same server). I want to do it with SQL aliases. However, I see that aliasing is possible for server instances and protocols. Is there another way to go about database redirects on the same server?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Aliases are only for server/instances of SQL Server, not for databases.
In your case I'd create a database snapshot of the current database (so there's no need for a new read-only copy of your db), redirect all user connections there, do you update, then drop the snapshot. Please take into consideration that a snapshot can take a lot of space if forgotten there, not dropped on time.
Not sure if thats something easily achieved in this way. Youll probably want something similar to transactional replication / failover. Not sure how your structure has altered though. If the structure isnt changing, I would run with this solution so that you can take down the original and everything will simply divert.

Spring semester enrollment is up almost half a percent at West Texas A&M University, with 6,275 students taking classes.
This is an increase of 29 students compared to spring 2001, according to preliminary 12th class day enrollment numbers released Thursday.
"We expected enrollment to stay stable compared to last spring," said Troy Johnson, dean of enrollment management.
The increase largely is due to the addition of 100 more graduate students than were enrolled during the spring 2001 semester, Johnson said.
According to the figures, WT's graduate student population has risen to 1,325 for the spring 2002 semester, an increase of 8.16 percent.
"Graduate enrollment is widely considered to be indicative of the quality of a school, and our graduate enrollment has continued to increase over the past couple of years," said Flavius Killebrew, provost and vice president for academic affairs.
"I believe this can be attributed to our innovative graduate-level programs as well as our online degree programs."
WTOnline, the university's distance learning program, recorded 2,899 spring enrollments, its highest total ever.
Undergraduate enrollment at WT is down 1.41 percent from last spring, with 4,950 students enrolled this semester.
Enrollment figures on the 12th class day, which was Wednesday at WT, are what Texas' public universities report to the state.

i installed ubuntu 12.04 on a netbook with 16GB SSD. To keep the installation small i used the mini.iso i got from here.
Everything worked fine, but i noticed that dnsmasq does not get started by NetworkManager. On a different machine i installed 12.04 from a regular iso and netstat shows dnsmasq running and listening on port 53.
NetworkManager.conf look identically on both systems. The line dns=dnsmasq is present.
Although i do not really need dnsmasq - name resolution works fine without - i would like to know the reason why dnsmasq is running on one system, but does not run on the other and how i could adjust this behavior.
Thx in advance!

Tomas Munita, Bryan Denton to Receive Getty & Chris Hondros Fund Awards
Tomás Munita and Bryan Denton will receive Getty Images and Chris Hondros Fund Awards at a June 7 benefit and silent auction, the Hondros Fund has announced. The Chris Hondros Fund is a non-profit photojournalism organization founded by Christina Piaia to honor her late fiancé, who was killed in a mortar attack while covering the conflict in Libya in 2011. The Fund "advances the work of photojournalists who espouse [Chris Hondros's] legacy and vision, and sponsors fellowships, grantmaking and education to raise understanding of the issues facing reporters in conflict zones."
Munita, a Chilean photojournalist who has worked in Latin America and the Middle East, among other places, is being honored for his "exceptional photographic ability coupled with a spirited commitment to the craft of photojournalism," Piaia said in a statement. Munita will receive a grant of $20,000.
Denton, a photojournalist based in Beirut, was named a finalist for the award and will receive a grant of $5000.
"Chris was dedicated to documenting the compassion, violence and frailty that encompasses so much of our world today. It was through his personal vision and determination that were able to share some of the most powerful images from the large and small events that make up our common humanity," said Hondros Fund board member and Getty executive Pancho Bernasconi in a statement. "The Chris Hondros Fund is proud to honor Tomás Munita and Bryan Denton and support their work to create a visual history that brings shared human experiences into the public eye."

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -
Arizona's No. 1 Men's Swimming and Diving team will embark on the 2012 Men's Swimming NCAA Championships, beginning Thursday, March 22 and continuing through Saturday, March 24.
The event will feature the preliminary rounds at 11 a.m. followed by finals at 7 p.m. each day.
The Wildcats have had one of the most successful dual seasons in Arizona history, going undefeated against the nation's best teams in No. 2 Texas, No. 3 Stanford, No. 5 USC, No. 6 California and No. 14 Iowa.
Most recently, Arizona finished third at the Pac-12 Championships in Los Angeles, behind Stanford and California.
Junior Carl Mickelson (Chandler, Ariz.) is coming off Pac-12 Championships in both the 100 breast and 200 breast, but there are many other Wildcat contributors, as the breaststroke is arguably Arizona's strongest event. The Wildcats have four of the top-10 fastest times in the country in the 200 breast and three of the top-10 fastest times in the country in the 100 breast.
Freshman Kevin Cordes (Naperville, Ill.) broke a pool record in the 100 breast at the Texas Invite in December with his time of 51.76, which still stands as the fastest time in the country this season. Mickelson has the third-fastest time, while senior Kelley Wyman (Ft. Pierce, Fla.) has the ninth-fastest.
Mickelson has the fastest time in the country in the 200 breast at 1:53.12, but senior Austen Thompson (Chandler, Ariz.) is not far behind with the second-fastest, Cordes has the third-fastest and senior Kevin Munsch (Kent, Wash.) has the 10th-fastest.
Senior Cory Chitwood (Union, Ky.) will defend his two-year title in the 200 backstroke and currently has the fastest time in the country in the event with a time of 1:38.85. Sophomore Michael Sheppard also has the fifth-fastest time in the event.
In the 100 back, sophomore Mitchell Friedemann (Allenton, Wis.) has the second-fastest time in the country at 45.86, just a 10th of a second off of the fastest time. Chitwood has the third-fastest time.
Individual Medley:
The IM is another strong pair of races for Arizona as senior leadership reigns over the country's top times. Chitwood has the fastest time in the 200 IM at 1:41.92 and Thompson has the fastest time in the 400 IM at 3:39.37.
Thompson also has the sixth-fastest time in the 200 IM, while junior Sam Rowan (Eugene, Ore.) has the ninth-fastest time in the 400 IM.
Sophomore Matt Barber (Kingwood, Texas) currently has the fifth-fastest time in the country in the 500 free, while senior Adam Small (Tempe, Ariz.) has the seventh-fastest time and Wyman the 11th in the 50 free.
Sophomore Giles Smith (Baltimore, Md.) is the Wildcats' fly specialist, as he has the seventh-fastest time in the country in the 100 fly at 46.13.
Arizona's relays are another strong point, as the 400 medley relay currently has the fastest time in the country at 3:06.98, the 200 medley relay has the second-fastest time at 1:24.34 and the 200 free relay has the sixth-fastest time at 1:17.59.
Senior Ben Grado (Conifer, Colo.) accomplished a feat that hasn't been done since current diving coach Omar Ojeda in 2002—he won all three boards at the Pac-12 Championships. He then went on to qualify for the NCAA Championships at Zones in Colorado Springs, Colo.
In addition, senior Andres Guerra (Sugarland, Texas) earned the last spot at Zones to qualify for NCAAs and will give the Wildcats an extra boost.
ESPN3 will stream live the championship finals sessions Friday and Saturday. Coverage of the finals sessions Friday and Saturday will also be broadcast on ESPNU at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time, Sunday, April 1. In addition, all three preliminary sessions as well as the finals session on Thursday will be streamed live on www.goseattleu.com.

How to Sleep in Zen Relaxation
When having a hard day's night or having to sleep in a noisy or unfriendly harsh environment, or when you need just few minutes of relaxing nap in such situations, sleeping could become a struggle for some people. This method could help you to control your sleep.
1Begin the practice from comfortable places.
2Do not use your bed. Instead, spread a blanket on a flat carpeted floor.
3Lie flat on your back with a thin pillow or cushion under your head.
4Start Zen by putting palms of your hands on the lower part of your chest, but not your abdomen. You should not feel any discomfort on your shoulder.
5Inter-lock your hands together by putting fingers of one hand in between the fingers of the other hand, as if they are consolidated and whatever gets to tip of one hand flows into the other in a closed circuit and loops back through your body, again and again.
6Release your body. At this stage allow all your body "rains down" to the floor, as if you are an invertebrate. Release your body there, disconnected.
7Imagine a rectangle bigger than cross section of your tummy at your feet, perpendicular to your body, is moving from your feet slowly moves towards your head and brings all with it upper and upper towards your chest and neck and moves to go out of your scalp; all the time allow your body rains down. With repeat of this method you are in deep sleeping before the rectangle gets to your locked hands.
8Make the environment harsher. Upon success, gradually in next sessions, remove the blanket and pillow and try a wooden or paved floor. You can control duration and depth of your sleep in this way.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Using this method, you will not enter a hypnotized state
- Whether you believe or not in mysticism or similar ideas, when engaging in this practice put those thoughts aside.
- If you have a bad neck always use that thin pillow.
- Avoid sleeping on wet floors, such as an irrigated grass, whenever possible.

Today is that day that Walt Disney World ends our long-time suffering and reveals the package rates for your magical 2015 vacation.
Before you get caught up in the frenzy, there are a few important things to remember before you book your future Disney vacation:
- These rates are rack rates-Yes, these rates are full price, yes they will be higher than last year as there is a historical rate of increase for packages on an annual basis. Remember that even after you book your package by placing your refundable $200 deposit, if a promotion is released later on, it can be applied to your reservation. If you're using an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner they should be monitoring your reservation automatically.
- Magic always comes with a price-Just like Rumpelstiltskin says, "magic always comes with a price". Each year the room, tickets and dining packages are raised, so don't be horrified when you see rates for next year. This happens every year, saying you're going to boycott a Disney vacation this year because of it won't put you any closer to the Magic Kingdom. You have to wait it out and believe that the dream that you wish, will come true.
- Book the vacation you can afford-I don't know about you, but my magic wand is broken. My magic wand wants me to book three week vacations at a deluxe resort, concierge level with all kinds of private specialty experiences, and I wouldn't mind a few nights in Cinderella's Castle either. Since my wand is broken, I have to be practical and pick my favorite moderate resort and weigh my length of stay vs. ticket options and book a vacation that I can actually afford. Book a package you are comfortable with in the "worst case scenario". Plan the vacation as if a discount will never be released and then you can upgrade later when discounts are released, or be pleasantly surprised when you can add to your "Mickey money" stash.
- Use a travel agent-Yes, being a travel agent is magical and I love my job, always have and always will, but it doesn't bring obscene amounts of money rolling in, unfortunately, it barely helps subsidize my own Disney travel obsession. A good agent will always be looking out for your best interests, which generally speaking is not ours. When your price goes down, so does our payment, so pick someone you trust to operate in your best interest. Be clear about what you want, which parts you want to plan and which parts you want help with. If you can't communicate freely with your agent, you have the wrong agent.
- Stick to the timeline-You've been waiting a long time to get your Walt Disney World vacation package all set and get that magical confirmation number stating you are "official". Packages can be booked for travel up to 499 days in advance but there's a timeline for planning your vacation, so stick to the timeline and you won't drive yourself crazy with needless frustration before it's time.
Vacation planning timeline (days listed are the number prior to your check-in date):
- 180 days-advanced dining reservations
- 60 days-FastPass+ selections (onsite guests)
- 30 days-FastPass+ selections (offsite guests)
- 45 days-Magic Band Customization
- 45 days-Final payment due
Now that you have had a refresher course on what to expect for 2015, it's time to request your FREE no obligation quote!

2012 Stanford Invitational
STANFORD, Calif. - The No. 4 UCLA women's water polo team advanced to the Stanford Invitational championship match by defeating No. 12 Michigan, 10-3, on Sunday morning at Stanford's Baker Pool.
Becca Dorst scored a game-high three goals to pace UCLA (6-0), which will face tournament host Stanford (5-0) on Sunday afternoon at 4:30 in the title match.
In all, UCLA received at least one goal from eight players. KK Clark added one goal, extending her scoring streak on the season to six matches.
The Bruins blanked Michigan (3-5) in the second half after the game was deadlocked, 3-3, at halftime.
Each team scored two goals in the opening quarter and one goal in the second period. UCLA controlled the second half, outscoring the Wolverines by a 7-0 tally to secure the 10-3 win.
UCLA last held an opponent scoreless in either half on March 5, 2011. The Bruins defeated Arizona State, 8-1, in that contest, limiting the host Sun Devils to one goal in the second quarter. It was the third time in Brandon Brooks' tenure as head coach (2010-12) that UCLA has held an opponent scoreless in one half.
Sunday morning's contest marked the second meeting between these two schools this season. Two weeks ago, UCLA outlasted Michigan, 10-8, in a Michigan Invitational contest at the Wolverines' Canham Natatorium.
Meagan Cobb, Lauren Colton and Kiki Golden each scored one goal for Michigan.
Goalkeeper Caitlin Dement recorded 10 saves in the cage for UCLA.
UCLA last faced Stanford in the 2011 MPSF Tournament semifinals, securing a 9-8 victory at San Jose State. That game marked Stanford's first and only loss of the 2011 season. The Cardinal entered the match having won their first 24 games of the season before ultimately winning the 2011 NCAA Championship two weeks later.
No. 4 UCLA vs. No. 12 Michigan (Stanford Invitational)
Michigan Goals: Meagan Cobb, Lauren Colton, Kiki Golden
Michigan Saves: Alex Adamson (unavailable)
UCLA Goals: Becca Dorst 3, KK Clark, Emily Donohoe, Danielle Ferraro, Gabby Juarez, Gisselle Naranjo, Kelly Ronimus, Hannah Sebenaler
UCLA Saves: Caitlin Dement 10

Once again, it is brought to our attention the unique treasures that are housed in the Libraries' Special Collections department and its equally treasured staff members.
For months Ilias Chrissochoidis, a Stanford alumnus and Continuing Studies lecturer, frequented SUL's Special Collections department. It wasn't until recently that staff members were pleasantly surprised to find out the results of those visits.

Fast and tenacious.
If you typically ride somewhere with dry trails, you needs a tire that rolls fast. But fast rolling tires aren't always grippy, especially when it gets dusty or wet. If your bike is rolling on the WTB Wolverine TCS 29-inch Tire, however, you have no reason to worry. The tightly spaced, ramped center knobs keep it rolling blisteringly fast when it's dry. And when grip gets harder to come by, the open side knobs and dual-compound rubber dig in to keep you in control when you're pushing the pace.
The key to the Wolverine is its progressive tread design. At the center line of the tire, you'll find tightly spaced, ramped center knobs that minimize rolling resistance, thereby preserving speed. The side knobs are staggered and open, which allows the working edges to dig into the dirt in order to provide more cornering bite than the low profile tread looks like it would provide. And with this being the TCS version, it gets a dual-compound tread pattern that features softer side knobs that bite hard, and stiffer center knobs that enhance the life and rolling speed even further.
WTB has a history as one of the pioneers of tubeless tires, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the TCS casing takes the best parts of the UST tire standard, namely the strong Aramid bead and reinforced sidewalls. Meanwhile, the 60 TPI casing provides a supple and responsive ride quality of various terrain types. The result is a tire that weighs in around 805g, only with the support and durability of a heavier tire.
The WTB Wolverine TCS 29-inch Tire is available in the color Black and with a 2.2-inch width.
