Got ten minutes? Here's everything you need to know about how science can change the marketing world forever.
Of course, that headline is a little superfluous, but that's on purpose. There's a reason why websites like Upworthy and Buzzfeed are dominating the content curation scene and climbing to the top of social shares, and it has little to do with their content. It's all about how they frame their content, and there's actually science behind their viral success.
First a case study in why framing your headlines matter:
You may recall one of the first emotionally appealing headlines to hit the Internet a few years back, about a man who was raised by a lesbian couple and gave an inspiring speech to the Iowa legislature about why same-sex marriage should be legal. When the Iowa House Democrats posted the video to their YouTube page with the headline: "Zach Wahls Speaks About Family", the video got around 1,000,000 views.
But when MoveOn.org shared the video with the headline: "Two Lesbians Raised a Baby and This is What They Got", the video took off and now sits around 17,000,000 views.
The reason one did exponentially better than the other one has nothing to do with the content, it's the same video after all, and everything to do with how they were presented to the audience. The first headline is pretty straightforward, and offers no incentive to click. For example, who is Zach Wahls, and why do his thoughts on family matter? The second headline, though, channels our emotions, speaks to a hotly debated topic (same-sex marriage) and entices us that clicking the link will provide some sort of emotional response or exciting conclusion.
And that's the key, according to scientists and executives of these social sharing sites, to going viral: you have to appeal to something deep inside the reader and inspire them to want to become a part of something.
The science behind appealing to a "greater purpose" and "going viral" starts a lot earlier than one might think. Aristotle stumbled upon the idea when searching for a way to make his speeches motivate his audience. He surmised that in order to inspire an audience, one must appeal to either the Pathos, Logos, or Ethos. Meaning, if you want to go viral, you should either appeal to logic, emotion, or ethics.
And it's this theory that scientists in today's world showed still rang true.
Jonah Berger, a graduate student at Stanford, and Katherine Milkman, a professor at Penn, set out to prove this theory of viral appeal through empirical research. They tinkered with headlines from August 30 through November 30 of 2008, studying times, different types of headlines, and their effects on social sharing. What they found at the end of their study was Aristotle was onto something, and that going viral is no fluke: if you want to go viral you either have to make someone laugh, cry, or feel like they are part of a movement bigger than themselves.
But before you go off to make millions curating viral gold thinking you've discovered the key to successful content sharing, consider this: Even though Upworthy and Buzzfeed have discovered the secrets to having a better chance of going viral, achieving true viral success is still a very difficult task. In fact, studies have shown that out of all the content posted on the Internet, only about 0.3% receive over 1,000,000 views. In fact, close to 60% of articles never reach 10,000 views.
But don't let that deter you from going for it, Upworthy did it after all, so why can't you? And, if you want to learn more tips and tricks for social sharing success, or more about the science behind posting content that gets shared, Marketo has a great infographic on the science behind going viral.
And, if you thought this article blew your mind, then watch what happens when you follow this guy on Twitter.

Our household food choices are important for the well being of our family. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one-third of U.S. adults (34.9%) are obese and approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are obese. The CDC also states that obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death.
Parents have the responsibility to teach their children on how to eat healthy as this will continue to help guide them throughout their lives. Maintaining a healthy weight, with physical activity, will reduce the risks of chronic diseases. With that in mind, I recently purchased the Veggetti, a product that claims to easily turn vegetables into spaghetti. As an example, when comparing a one 100 gram zucchini (17 calories) to 100 grams of pasta (371 calories), the zucchini is a much healthier choice.
Is the Veggetti as easy to use as it claims? I found it to be extremely easy to use. As it claims, I was able to quickly and easily turn a zucchini into thin spaghetti size noodles. I topped off my raw zucchini spaghetti with some heated Organic Muir Glen Garden Vegetable sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
I was extremely pleased with the amazing taste of this simple and healthy dish. To my surprise, my children also enjoyed the zucchini spaghetti. To date, I tried using the Veggetti to cut zucchini, squash, and cucumbers, all with wonderful results. I definitely recommend this product as a positive addition to your existing kitchen tools. You can purchase it through the website, however, I found the Veggetti in a local CVS store.

The stakes are high, and Medina County rivals Highland and Wadsworth are well-aware of that heading into tonight's Suburban League football showdown in Granger Township.
Both teams have 3-0 records against easy non-league schedules. The loser could still finish the year with 6-8 wins, meaning a boatload of computer points are on the line.
If there's anything such as a key Week 4 game, this is it. Add the fact the neighboring schools don't exactly like each other and a rain-filled donnybrook is a distinct possibility.
"It's very exciting. We've prepared all year for this type of game," Grizzlies two-way lineman Chandler Martinez said Thursday. "We're hoping to get the win, but we've worked all week as hard as we can."
The weather forecast calls for a 70 percent chance of rain with possible thunderstorms and complicates a matchup already noted for its contrast in philosophies. Wadsworth's I-formation offense is run-first, run-second and pass-only-when-necessary, while Highland's spread prefers to establish balance so it can create big-play opportunities through the passing game.
"We need to keep the ball on the ground and keep the ball with us like we did (in a 26-13 win) against Medina," Martinez said. "We need to keep the ball for 8 minutes, 9 minutes in one quarter. That's what it's all about."
Despite four new starters on the offensive line, Highland has picked up where it left off following a record-setting 2012 and is averaging 43.3 points per game. Reigning Gazette MVP Bruce Kinsey is 32-for-62 passing for 491 yards, five touchdowns and a 98.3 NFL rating, All-Gazette receiver Cory Moncol has 17 receptions for 319 yards and first-year starter Alex Harris has been one of the area's biggest surprises with 379 rushing yards and six touchdowns.
"The biggest challenge will be deciphering their defense and knowing exactly what to do," said 6-foot, 175-pound Hornets center Tanner Ramey, who earned team-wide respect by bending a facemask beyond repair earlier this season. "They're different than most, but we're just going to go out and play fast."
Wadsworth's biggest concern will likely be slowing down Moncol, though his effectiveness could be limited if the Grizzlies make Highland one-dimensional and counter with double-coverage.
Working in Wadsworth's favor are two outstanding performances against pass-heavy Ashland and Wooster.
"(There are) high stakes in terms of the league and everything. It makes a big difference," hard-hitting Wadsworth cornerback Cyler Caldwell said. "It comes down to everyone doing their own job — doing the thing they need to get done — and playing as a team to shut them down and get the win."
For the umpteenth time under coach Greg Dennison, the Grizzlies counter with an old-fashioned but extremely fundamentally sound rushing attack led by 5-foot-8, 209-pound senior Martice Jackson (87 carries, 676 yards, 4 TDs), who has three consecutive 200-yard games. Scott Campbell (22, 164, 1) has been steady in reserve, while fullbacks Shane Mast and Greg Young bring a different wrinkle on traps.
Wadsworth's passing game has been inconsistent — the Grizzlies average 52.3 yards on 9.7 attempts — but came up with a couple key plays last week against Medina.
"Obviously, Wadsworth is going to be a challenge," Highland linebacker James Friedl said. "We respect their running game and Martice is good, so I feel like it's going to be a challenge, but I feel we're prepared to (meet) it."
Both defenses have been stout in the early going and will face their biggest battles of the season.
The Hornets are led by linebackers Friedl (23 tackles, 3½ for loss, 3 pass breakups) and Jonny Zaz (19 tackles, INT) and corners Coltin Kinsey and Moncol (3 INTs) and are the county's top statistical unit (12.3 points, 127.3 yards), while the Grizzlies are a close No. 2 (11.0, 245.0) behind the efforts of linemen Tyler Erbse (6 TFL, 4 sacks) and Martinez (3½ TFL), linebacker Nick Winkler (31 tackles) and All-Gazette safeties Ryan Looser (3 forced fumbles, INT) and Austin White (22 tackles).
Judging by recent history — the series is 6-6 since 2000 after Wadsworth won 18 of the first 19 — their intensity will be dialed to the max.
"This game means a lot here," Friedl said. "I mean, obviously Wadsworth is a big rival to us. We have an anger towards them and want to hit them."

Profile: Syracuse University
Posted on December 21, 2010
Syracuse University is the final program in our series of graduate program profiles. Syracuse offers an M.A. and Ph.D. in English and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing.
The department, which is internationally known for its innovative undergraduate curriculum in English and Textual Studies (ETS), also has one of the most intellectually versatile graduate programs in the country. Recognizing the complex discipline that "English" has become in the contemporary university and in today's society, our graduate program is organized around critical studies of history, aesthetics, and politics. We have particular strengths in early modern literature, Victorian culture, American studies, and film, but cover other areas as well, and our outstanding faculty all share a strong interest in literary history and forms, critical theory, and cultural studies. The particular specializations of our diverse faculty thus allow for both continuity and flexibility in the work that students can do while in the program.
In the Syracuse Ph.D. and M.A. programs, students work closely with their faculty mentors and attend small seminars. Ph.D. students take a workshop that helps them prepare for the qualifying exams and their dissertation. Syracuse maintains close ties with Cornell University and the University of Rochester, allowing students to attend courses and workshops on all three campuses. Students can enter the Ph.D. program directly from the B.A. or with the M.A. in hand. To complete the M.A., students submit and defend three papers.
The M.F.A. program, which takes three years, culminates in a book-length manuscript of poetry or fiction. Exceptional M.F.A. students are eligible for a university fellowship, which includes full tuition and a $16,720 stipend. There are also six creative writing scholarships awarded to new students.
All three programs include teaching assistantships and fellowships. Multi-year university fellowships are awarded to Ph.D. students, alternating with teaching assistantships, and include a stipend of $21,170 and a full-tuition scholarship for 30 credits for the academic year. African American Fellowships are also awarded to six African American graduate students.
The deadline for all programs is January 9.

Shogi Master
Game Review
The game of Shogi is an old and traditional Japanese board game that is similar to the standard game of chess. Shogi Master is a conversion of this board game for the personal computer. It was both developed and published by Ishi Press International and released to the markets in the early nineties.
In Shogi, the user plays against an extremely competent computer AI in this unusual but traditional Japanese game. The goal is similar to traditional chess, in that the user tries to checkmate the opposition's king piece. The playing pieces are black and white, similar to traditional chess. The most common playing board is a nine by nine checkerboard playing field, but it can be as large as twenty-five by twenty-five. Similar to traditional chess, pieces can be promoted, but the pieces are not limited to only the weakest pieces, or pawns. Most any playing piece can be promoted. There are dots near the centre of the board that mark the promotion zone. The pieces do not have to reach the opposition's back row. Moreover, when a player takes a piece from his opponent, that piece can be re-entered into the playing field to play for the capturer to play against the opposition. The pieces are wedge-shaped and pointed, and the direction of the point denotes which side the piece is playing for, more so than its colour.
The playing pieces are as follows: a single king, which can move a single square in any direction; the golds, which move a single square in any direction except for backwards and diagonally and cannot be promoted; the two silvers are similar to the golds, and move one square in all directions except left, right or backwards; the two knights have the ability to jump other pieces by moving one block forward and then one diagonally; the lances only move forward, but can move as many squares as they like; the bishops work just like those in traditional chess, but can also move one square to the side after being promoted; the rook is also similar to traditional chess rooks, but can move a diagonal square once promoted; pawns always move one square forward and can become golds once reaching the promotion zone.
With the pieces in play, the game becomes a standard game of strategy and tactics. The biggest difference between Shogi Master and chess is the manner of promotion and the re-entry of captured pieces, which adds a definite spin to the game. This is a great twist to traditional chess, and chess fans young and old will enjoy trying to master Shogi Master.

IRVINE, Calif. - Less than 24 hours after No. 3 UCLA scored in the final seconds to beat No. 6 UC Irvine, the second-ranked USC Trojans got a game-winning goal with two seconds left to beat the Bruins, 11-10, in the semifinals of the UC Irvine Invitational on Sunday afternoon. UCLA drops to 15-2 on the year.
USC got on the board first when Dominique Sardo scored on a power play at the 5:58 mark. Sophomore Emily Donohoe tied it at 1-1 with a power play goal with 4:47 to go in the first period. Olivia Cummins scored on a 6-on-5 opportunity to put the Trojans back up by one. Then Sardo scored her second of the game to give USC a 3-1 lead with 2:52 left in the first. Donohoe then registered her second of the game (1:34) to end the first period scoring with USC leading 3-2.
Freshman India Forster tied it at 3-3 at the 6:10 mark of the second period with an exclusion goal. But the Trojans got another power play goal, this one from Anni Espar, two minutes later. Junior Kelly Ronimus then tied the game at 4-4 with 2:06 remaining in the second with a power play strike. Kelly Mendoza ended the scoring in the second period with a goal at full strength (1:42) to give the Trojans a 5-4 lead into the break.
Monica Vavic put the Trojans up by two (6-4) on the first possession of the third period. The Bruins tied it at 6-6 with back-to-back power play goals by freshman Rachel Fattal (5:59) and senior Natasha Schulman (3:56). Hannah Buckling gave USC the lead back with a score at the 2:32 mark, but Forster tied it at 7-7 with a power play goal, her second of the game, with 1:59 to go in the third period. Espar scored her second of the game on an extra man opportunity to give USC an 8-7 lead at the end of three periods.
Fattal converted a penalty shot to open the fourth period and tied it at 8-8. But again, USC had an answer, as Espar completed her hat trick a power play goal to make it 9-8 with 6:18 to go. Fattal completed her hat trick for the Bruins to knot the score at 9-9 with 5:38 left, but the Trojans regained the lead 10-9 on a power play goal by Vavic with 3:33 to go. Donohoe scored her third of the game on a power play with 1:10 remaining to tie it at 10-10. But as they did all day, the Trojans kept the Bruins from gaining a lead with opportune stops and timely goals. Kaleigh Gilchrist made the game-winner with just two seconds on the clock.
Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Sami Hill played the entire game in goal for the Bruins, picking up 13 saves. Junior Flora Bolonyai was credited with eight stops in the cage for USC.
No. 3 UCLA vs. No. 2 USC
UCLA Goals: India Forster 2, Natasha Schulman
UCLA Saves: Sami Hill 13
USC Goals: Anni Espar 3, Monica Vavic 2, Dominique Sardo 2, Olivia Cummins, Kelly Mendoza, Hannah Buckling, Kaleigh Gilchrist
USC Saves: Flora Bolonyai 8

hiding files in the startup folder is easy to detect and delete.
try hiding it in the registry under hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run as well as hkcu\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
the shutdown command only works if you have the resource kit or support tools installed.but if those are installed you might as well do a kill * -f to close evrything possible hence crippling windows where the user would have to reboot themselves.
if you have access to the machine just change the local administrator account password and use psexec from a remote workstation.
autoexec.bat does not launch with windows since win98,maybe ME, even if it did, shutdown.exe is a windows app which means it will not launch on startup.

It is only the third day of spring practice and Tennessee's Coach Derek Dooley is already on the defensive. Star receiver Da'Rick Rogers did not attend practice today and Coach Dooley was quite evasive in his explanation of Rogers' absence. Dooley insisted that Rogers is "not suspended" from the team and could return at any time, as soon as he completes some unidentified task.
"Da'Rick, he's got some things he's got to do internally and when he does them, he'll be back," said Dooley after today's practice. "It's kind of an internal, team issue. And it's something he's just got to finish doing some stuff and when he does, he'll be back."
Dooley described it as a "complex situation."
Meanwhile, Rogers was sending out some evasive tweets yesterday indicating that he might be considering a transfer to Georgia State:
"Georgia State. Wasup?"
Rogers' skill and athleticism have never been in doubt, though his maturity and attitude have been questioned many times since his arrival in Knoxville. In a recent incident Rogers was reported to have physically threatened a UT strength coach.
Dooley may feel that he needs his highly talented receiver as he enters his third season, which could be his last without some degree of success. However, he also runs the risk of losing control of his team if the inmates are allowed to run the asylum.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Nilssen-Love, Paal, drummer; b. Molde, Norway, 24 December 1974.
He was raised at a jazz club in Stavanger, run by his parents from 1979-86. It was natural to choose his father's drums as his instrument and jazz as his work. From 1990 on he took actively part in the jazz milieu in Stavanger and joined bands with established musicians such as trumpeter Didrik Ingvaldsen and saxophonist Frode Gjerstad. In 1993 -l 994 he attended the jazz department at Sund College before going on to study at the Jazz dept at the University in Trondheim during fall of 94 until 1996. The group Element (Gisle Johansen, HAvard Wiik, and Ingebrigt Flaten), whilst studying in Trondheim, was established, inspired by the John Coltrane quartet. The forming of the quartet Element in 1993 in many ways represented the start of a new phase in Paal's musical life. Element musically became a platform for several other groups with bassist Flaten and pianist Wiik, and lead to collaborations with Iain Ballamy and Chris Potter, amongst others. Paal moved to Oslo in 1996, where he joined and/or took part in the forming of bands like Vindaloo, SAN, Hakon Kornstad Tio, The Quintet and Frode Gjerstad Trio. He participated in a music and dance program in Cuba in 1997. He later on got more into self-initiated projects and since 1999 into collaborations with Swedish musicians, such as pianist Sten Sandell and saxophonist Mats Gustafsson. Paal played his first solo concert in 1999, and since then the solo concept has been an important part of his work. Today Paal's portfolio includes Atomic, School Days, The Thing, Frode Gjerstad Trio, Sten Sandell Trio, Scorch Trio, Territory Band, FME, and various duo projects such as with reedmen Ken Vandermark, John Butcher, Mats Gustafsson, organist Nils Henrik Asheim and noise wizard Lasse Marhaug. He recently joined Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet. He has made numerous performances at festivals and clubs in Europe and USA and participated on more than 50 recordings. In 2002 at the Molde Jazzfestival he was Artist in Residence doing 9 concerts over 6 days with various artists. He also runs his own annual festival - All Ears - for improvised music in Oslo, which is an important part of his musical life, and he plans to start his own recording label for vinyl productions. He has played in various settings with Iain Ballamy (UK), Andy Sheppard(UK), Django Bates (UK), Chris Potter (US), Rene McLean (US), Dominic Duval (US), Ali Haurand (D), Alan Skidmore (UK), Pat Metheny, and others. His major composition, "Evolusjon", is a percussion composition for 9 musicians, premiered in 1993.

Pink Iceland specializes in weddings in Iceland and offers wedding planning all year round. Pink Iceland can come into the planning process at any given moment. The services we provide includes preparation, consultation, helping with paperwork, arranging the ceremony, planning the honeymoon and pretty much everything that concerns getting married. And yes, we help everyone who wants to get married, regardless of sexual orientation.
Iceland listed as 'Top 10 Gay Wedding Destination' by Lonely Planet and Pink Iceland gets a shout-out!
"Soon after Iceland legalized same-sex marriage in June 2010, the prime minister - the world's first openly lesbian head of state - married her partner. So it's no surprise the scene is incredibly welcoming. Take your pick of mind-blowing backdrops for the ceremony: beside a thundering waterfall, in a rustic wood church or surrounded by hulking blue glaciers. Pink Iceland can make the arrangements." Click here for their article.
Can YOU get married in Iceland with the help of Pink Iceland?
In short YES. But please take a look at the requirements for getting married in Iceland to make sure everything is ok. It may seem like a long and complicated list but we mean it when we say we can help you with everything when it comes to your wedding in Iceland, including figuring out what's on the list and the paperwork. Once you've sent Pink Iceland your documents your pink wedding planner will take care of the rest!
Same sex marriage
Same sex marriage has been legal in Iceland since June, 2010. The bill providing a gender-neutral marriage definition was passed by the Icelandic Alþingi (Parliament) with no resistance. The majority of Icelanders are pro gay marriage. The first couple to turn their civil union into a marriage was Iceland's Prime Minister at the time, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir and her partner, Jónína Leósdóttir.
Wedding ceremonies
Pink Iceland loves weddings set in nature as there are so many beautiful spots in Iceland to choose from. Ceremonies can be arranged e.g. by a waterfall, in a cave, on a glacier, on a small island or by a geothermal area. Other options are on board a boat or a helicopter. Then there are the options of getting married in a church, having a nordic mythology theme or a simple civil ceremony.
Tailor made
Every Iceland wedding experience is tailor made and one of a kind. Pink Iceland's aim is to make your wedding experience as friendly, fun, relaxing and unique as possible.
But I'm straight, can I still use your services?
Pink Iceland is the country's most prolific wedding planner and we happily help people from all walks of life, regardless of sexual orientation get married. We've often been asked why we don't set up another site without the 'LGBTQI focus'. But our honest answer is that if anyone has a problem with this focus we wouldn't want to work with them anyway. Love all, serve all (except bigots).

A 330-day rate lock?
Dear Dr. Don,
We are building a new home to be ready
in April or May of 2004 in Northern Virginia. My question is anticipating
a fed rate cut. Do you recommend us to lock (330-day lock) the rate
now or wait till the rates are lower than the quotes below:
5/1 Jumbo ARM: 3.92 percent to 4.03 percent
7/1 ARM: 4.09 percent to 4.27 percent
5/1 Jumbo ARM: 3.92 percent to 4.03 percent
7/1 ARM: 4.09 percent to 4.27 percent
Sam Survey
Dear Sam,
The longer the lock, the more expensive it is to lock in a
rate. Start by considering the cost of a 330-day lock vs. other
rate-lock maturities to decide what you're willing to pay for the
certainty of locking in today's rate.
Price a float-down option that gives you a one-time
opportunity to switch to a lower rate. Estimate what it will cost
you to walk away from a rate lock if rates continue even lower.
Rate locks with new construction can be particularly dicey if you
can't close within the rate-lock period because of construction
Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are priced at a spread
to an underlying index like the Eleventh District Cost of Funds
Index (COFI), the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or a Treasury
Constant Maturity (CMT). Use Bankrate's Track
Rates feature to follow movements in these rates.
An ARM that doesn't reset until five or seven years
out also has to price in the interest rate risk that the lender
faces by keeping your mortgage rate constant over the initial term.
You can see how it affects interest rates in the difference between
the 5/1 and 7/1 rates you presented in your letter. A reduction
in the fed funds rate will be reflected in the ARM indexes but may
have a different effect on longer-term interest rates.
If a rate cut is perceived by the financial markets
as inflationary, longer term interest rates will increase on the
news of a rate cut. Since 5/1 and 7/1 ARMs are a cross between an
adjustable-rate and a fixed-rate mortgage, their rates may not follow
the pricing index to lower levels.
Bankrate has a weekly Rate
Trend feature that takes the pulse of the mortgage market by
surveying mortgage professionals and reporting where the pros see
rates heading. You can have this feature delivered to your electronic
mailbox every Thursday in an editorial
alert, or just visit the site to get this week's read on the
mortgage market.

With the start of a new month, Rockstar Games pushed a new Grand Theft Auto V update live on Tuesday. Titled The Independence Day Special update, the seasonal update brings several new American-themed content additions to the game's online mode for a special event that will last until the middle of the month. However, while the features from the Independence Day update are temporarily only available during the event, the developer clarified on July 1 what players will get to actually keep from the latest patch.
In an update posted to the comments of the original update announcement, Rockstar Games revealed that the new items added as part of The Independence Day Special update will only be available to purchase within GTA Online for a limited time. After the event ends later this month, the content will be removed from the title's in-game stores. However, the developer confirmed that gamers will be allowed to permanently keep any of the items that they do pick up from the event.
So while the ability to purchase the seasonal update's new additions will be removed in mid-July, fans will get to keep all items they acquire before then. This includes all vehicles, clothing, and weapons. One special exception comes from firework ammunition. Despite the fact that those who pick up the firework rocket launcher will get to keep the firearm itself, the pyrotechnic ammo for the weapon will no longer be available inside the game.
Rockstar Games also clarified that the additional properties and the pier's new amusement ride will also remain inside of the game as permanent fixtures of Los Santos County. The Independence Day Special update will remain available within GTA Online until later this month. The developer has not yet provided an exact date for when the content is expected to be removed.

Fort Point National Historic Site : Michelin's recommendations
Tucked beneath a steel arch at the southern anchorage of the Golden Gate Bridge, this impressive, multistoried brick-and-granite fort (1861) stands as a fine example of Civil War-era masonry and military architecture. Designed to guard the entrance to San Francisco Bay, it sits atop the site of Castillo de San Joaquín (1794), an abandoned Spanish gun battery.Like other military installations around the bay, Fort Point's ord-nance was never fired in defense. By 1885 its guns were consid-ered obsolete and were removed for scrap. Long periods of minimal occupation or complete abandonment followed.Initial plans for the Golden Gate Bridge placed Fort Point on the exact spot where Joseph Strauss, the bridge's designer, intended to sink the southern anchorage. After visiting the fort, Strauss was so impressed by the quality of its masonry that he designed a massive steel arch over the fort to preserve it.Restored and rebuilt by the National Park Service in the 1970s, Fort Point today provides visitors with an excellent glimpse into military life on the California coast in the late 19C. Two huge cannons, from 1684 and 1844, are stationed here and fired regularly. Handcut granite spiral staircases lead to the upper tiers, with their intricate masonry and arching ceilings. Officers' quarters and privates' barracks are hung with historical photographs. From the top-level barbettes, visitors can marvel at a unique and stunning view of the underbelly of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Fast as a full suit, less restricting
A full suit can restrict arm movement - this capri gives as much buoyancy and speed as a full suit without any arm restriction. Less warm so great in summer water. Also fast to pull off in tris. I'm a 140-pound woman with 38-inch hips. The size four fit well.

Nice Quality
This bottom piece has great buoyancy with its thick skin. This piece is the match to the DeSoto top piece. The quality is excellent and definitely helps getting the legs up for a more efficient swim. I used it without the top and it doesn't leak, due to the snug waist.
Kevin H.
Brighton, MI
Love the Speed Tube
I use just the bottoms to help with muscular sinking legs. It is a dream - puts your dragging legs at the surface instantly - huge improvements in balance and swim times immediately. Fit was per the sizing chart - I am 5-11 and 215 and the size 6 fit perfectly - snug, like second skin, but not restrictive. Very easy to get on and off; rolls up into a wad the size of a football. The sturdy drawstring waist keeps it cinched up and water out. Wouldn't swim open water without it. What a great product!
Denver, CO
Desoto Speedtube
I have a weak kick, so this product adds some extra buoyancy to my swim efforts. I use it in Tri's where the lake is too warm for the Desoto bibjohn/pullover -- water does get in occasionally, but it cools you off and does NOT affect buoyancy. Super fast/easy to take off, so it does not affect my T1 time. I have also used it once/twice in the pool as a replacement for the Pull Buoy; I make sure that I rinse/clean off the chlorine afterwards. Buy it...Desoto has made another "great" product and Swim Outlet.com offers the best price/delivery!
Great half wet suite!!!
Great for open water practice in a warm environment and in a pool practice. could not find any better product than this. For a full Suite I use Xterra.
Tri OW
Great Neck , NY
I am a new triathlete. Bought the Speedtube pants after our lake became too warm to wear even my sleeveless wetsuit. I am actually faster in my Speedtube pants than I am in the wetsuit. I like the freedom of a completely unrestricted upper body, while still having the buoyancy the pants provide to my lower body (which is why I bought a wetsuit to begin with). Plus, the speedpants come off VERY quickly, drastically lowering my transition time. I would definitely buy this product again.

too small
I am 5.6 150lbs the size 4 tube too small could not get my butt in it.Trying a size 5.
jorge m.
albion, RI
Fit: Feels too small
Love it!!!
I've been using the Speedtube for racing (triathlons) and training. You swim a little differently in a wetsuit and I've found this thing preps me well for the different feel when a tri comes along. Just throw a top on and you're good to go. I also love that the legs come off real easy in transition. I've tried a number of one piece wetsuits, but this thing really rocks.
Spencer S.

2nd one I purchased
Love it, wear it 5-6 times a week. What a great product. Had to buy a second one, wore the first one out.

new to tri's
I am new to tri's, havent done one yet but have been taking tri classes all winter. I find that I have a hard time keeping my legs afloat and have a hard time kicking being a runner and all. SO someone told me about this suit so I ordered it and its like being a new swimmer, unbelievable difference.
James D.
Williamstown, NJ
Why didn't anyone mention these?
I have been asking a lot of experienced triathletes about wetsuits. Though they did mention two-piece suits, they should have recommended these, great fit, easy off, no worries of staying up, the best new gear I have bought this year.
Louisville, KY
3/4 Length is the way to go...
Most appealing was the 5mil thickness and the 3/4 length. Provides ample warmth, extra float for my small kick, and a streamlined fit. Thumbs up!
Cape Girardeau, MO
Great product
I used this product for the first time in a triathlon. It was great. Far less drag and surprisingly less leaks than my full wetsuit and great for water temps that are tweener (i.e. too hot for a full suit but still cold at the outset of the swim). Also very easy to get in and out of in transition. The buoyancy was amazing. Really helped me create less drag when taking my head above water to look for the next buoy. Highly recommend it
george m.
New York, NY
I purchased the Speedtube for open-water swims. Used it twice since I received it and I couldn't be happier. If your in the market for a wetsuit for warmer waters or a one-piece sleeveless wetsuit, I would highly recommend you look at purchasing the Speedtube with the SpeedVest and have two options for the same price or even less than a one-piece sleeveless.
Patrick M.
Eugene, OR
Excellent product
As a triathlete, my biking has added extra muscle to my thighs making my legs sink when I swim. The Speedtube has made that problem totally disappear. My kick is now up near the surface of the water. Removal of the Speedtube is the fastest of any wetsuit I have ever owned (about 15 of them). You have to tie the drawstring very tight though so water does not seap into the pants. I also have the sleeveless Desoto top which is a perfect match with these pants and helps keep the water out. And the combo keeps me warm enough in the water.

Work begins on transformation of Western Broadwalk with Colonnade
With heritage and development approvals received, work begins on the transformation of the Western Foyers and Boardwalk, which will fulfil Utzon's vision for the Harbour to be the focal point for all Sydney Opera House venues.
This is the first structural change to the exterior of the building since it opened in 1973. Designed by Utzon, the Colonnade provides a spectacular setting for visitors, international tourists and theatre patrons and enlivens the Western Broadwalk.
While developing his designs for the Colonnade, Utzon said that, "The present (theatre) Foyer is not giving you the feeling of being on the Bennelong Peninsula. The Harbour Bridge is marvellous yet you can't see it. With a colonnade on the western side for protection, this will open up the entry to the Drama Theatre, The Studio and the Playhouse."
Nine openings are created – six new large deep set windows and three glass doors. With the inclusion of these new openings, the foyers are flooded with natural light and for the first time patrons enjoy water and city views – one of Utzon's key principles in his original design for Sydney Opera House.2005
Mr Kim Williams, AM, begins tenure as Chairman of the Sydney Opera House Trust.2005 (5 January)
Early work begins on significant access improvements for Sydney Opera House
Preliminary work starts on the Accessibility and Western Foyers Project, to greatly improve accessibility for visitors to the House.
The project will realise the vision of architect Jørn Utzon for the interior of this part of the building and will complement the exterior Colonnade, opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
A glass lift that can hold up to 50 people and escalators from the foyers to the main venues will make it easier for elderly patrons and visitors with a mobility issue to get to their seats.2005 (5 January)
The Studio of Jørn Utzon: Creating the Sydney Opera House
The studio of Jørn Utzon is the most comprehensive exhibition of the designs and inspirations of Danish architect Jørn Utzon for Sydney Opera House. The exhibition portrays Utzon's personal design process and reflects the diverse sources of his inspiration.

It also includes his current ideas as he works again on Sydney Opera House as its architect, in collaboration with his son, architect Jan Utzon and Australian architect, Richard Johnson.
The exhibition was curated by Historic Houses Trust and exhibited at the Museum of Sydney. 2005 (3 December)

Details really took the longest time, but I believe they were worth it.
The dock looks nice. What are the two icons on the right for?
If you want to wait, I am working on another redesign. It would be a Sketch document if that is an issue for you.
Are the icons part of a set or part of the mockup? Either way I want them!
Made them for the mockup, besides the mail icon. Currently in the process of redesigning the whole thing.
All together its a wonderful art; I would love to see it integrated with Google Calendar (or any other calendar available - Thunderbird or Geary) + Elementary Updates to all its users (ex: Release date of any application that is ready for testing or its release date etc) as it matures. These kind of features will definitely fulfill the purpose of the application. Your art of work is excellent!
you forgot my birthday.
good stuff.
good stuff.
simply awesome
Love it! Only thing annoying me is that the close button seems squashed on the top left. But that left sidebar is just awesome
how did you get your taskbar like that? also what dock is it/icons? really nice btw
i like the design very much, the only thing bothering me is, that the mail icon in the dock is not like the other icons.. dunno if the dock is your work too..
how will that phone thing work? do you install an app that syncs with an online account?

text: Jason Carter: Declining a recommendation by the Commission on International Religious Freedom, the State Department did not include Uzbekistan on its annual list of countries guilty of severe religious oppression. A Reuters article in The New York Times outlined the United States' rocky relationship with Uzbekistan over the stationing of U.S. troops there. The piece concluded by balancing the frustration of human rights groups with an anonymous U.S. official's speculation that including Uzbekistan on the State Department's list would "look too political." As fascinatingly murky as these implications are, this report could have used a little less guesswork by unnamed sources concerning the administration's possible ulterior motives, and a little more historical perspective. For instance, Uzbekistan's violations of religious freedoms have been thoroughly documented in every report since the State Department published its first list in 1999, and this is the first year the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has recommended that Uzbekistan be noted as a "country of particular concern," a dishonor given to only a handful of the nearly 200 countries the report evaluates each year. The issue is almost nominal. While there are many political, international concerns involved in determining the content of a document like this, maintaining a perspective on the magnitude of this evaluative undertaking, as well as the plethora of disparaging information regarding Uzbekistan in State Department documents, will help keep reporting from sounding as narrow-focused as it did in this article.

Coffee Party movement steaming in Seattle
No surprise that the Coffee Party movement in Seattle is pickin' up steam — after all, this is the home of Starbucks.
With nearly 1,000 members on its Facebook page, the Seattle based group is picking up steam. In fact, they've surpassed the membership of the Washington, DC Facebook group, and that's where the official Coffee Party USA got its start.
It's a response to the U.S. Tea Party. Here's a video from Seattle's KING-5 about the new political movement.
I'm not anti-Starbucks, but I do have my favorite coffee shops in Seattle. They include Zeitgeist Cafe (Pioneer Square), Fonte Wine & Coffee Bar (Four Seasons Hotel), Stella Caffe (just down the street from the Four Seasons).
They also make a might fine cappuccino at Le Pichet, which goes nicely with a morning brioche at this First Avenue bistro.

When coming across a Great White, the experts say that it's best not to draw attention to it...that means screaming, smashing, etc... Lucky for this guy, he did all those things and still got away. That shark must have already had his lunch.
EDITOR'S NOTE:There have been some predictions that this video is a hoax. At any rate, it's pretty thrilling! What do you think?

Franklin Branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists.
Our members are delighted to be hosting
The 2013 Annual General Meeting of The New Zealand Society of Genealogists Inc
Queen's Birthday Weekend 31 May to 03 June 2013
We look forward to welcoming members to the heart of Franklin Country at
Franklin–The Centre, 12 Massey Avenue Pukekohe.
Our goal was to give members a reason to attend their AGM by offering an affordable and interesting weekend in relaxed and friendly Franklin in which to meet up with old friends and new. Our secondary goal was to have minimal impact on Family History Fair planning and attendances. To that end we have not invited those groups and individuals who will be working so hard at August's FHF but have sourced fascinating speakers from within our local community and elsewhere. We hope the Family History Fair team will take the opportunity to come and relax with us during AGM Weekend 2013. We are delighted to offer presentations by Graham Langton and Jenny Robin Jones, and their panel discussion with Kevan Moore promises to be a lively affair. Our member Judith Batt conceived an event which Council approved for trial during this weekend. "Showcasing Franklin" will happen within the weekend alongside a complementary speaker programme which we believe offers something of interest for all. Check out the visits to repositories being offered for the days following AGM Weekend 2013.
In keeping with our aim to keep costs reasonable our members will offer home hosting on a first-come, first served basis. A nominal charge will be made to cover basic costs. Lunches have been offered as a separate item. This is to give you the opportunity, should you wish, to BYO or experience the great food on offer at our local cafes – four within a one minute walk, and a total of more than thirty eating houses or takeaways within five minutes.
We are thrilled to have secured the Angell Productions team for Saturday evening – prepare to be well entertained.
Let's hope we see many along to support our hardworking new team when they report on their first year in office.

Kids were on the hunt for easter eggs for the 5th annual "Great Easter Egg Hunt" at Coggin Park in Brownwood.
Kids rushed the hunting field, grabbing as many pieces of candy and eggs as they could get their hands on.
There were separate hunting areas for pre-kindergarteners through 3rd graders.
Easter bunnies made their rounds to greet about 1,000 kids.
There was also a car show, jazz band, and bounce house to keep both parents and children busy.

I wouldn't panic about the frame size, I have some friends your size on med & they work well, But with a 50mm stem.
My point was more that when you go with the larger of the 2 frames that you fit that it is normal to go to a shorter stem to bring the bike back down to size.
With your setup you have your cockpit longer than I do on my Large Niners & I'm 6 foot.
Put a 50mm stem on it & if that doesn't feel right after a few rides then go wider in the bars & leave the 50mm stem on it.
Also IMO flatten out your seat, As it is pushing you further forward as well.
The Jet9 RDO can work very well as a trail bike IMO but you have got to get your weight back if you want to kill the down hills.
