Here are the Victoria's Secret Model Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Miranda Kerr, Karolina Kurkova and Selita Ebanks, completelly naked, I know that we are used to see them on lingerie but it's not the same.
I think that the Victoria's Secret Models are letting their secret sneak out on this photo, cause now we can see some of their hot bodies naked and we can expand our fantasies, now we have seen the beyond of their lingerie and we gotta say that's a fine Merry Christmas Card.
So what better way to welcome the weekend with not one but a lot of Victoria's Secret models on lingerie. On thursday night was the Victoria's Secret Lingerie Runway Show, and man that's one hell of a runway, there are so many babes up there that you just can't believe it.

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel took over his current position on February 27th, 2013. Hagel began his political career when he was elected as U.S. Senator from Nebraska in 1997. During his time as a senator, Hagel voted in favor of the Patriot Act, against the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, and against No Child Left Behind. He voted in favor of the resolution to authorize military force in Iraq, but later voiced doubts over the venture. He left the Senate in 2009.
During the Vietnam War, Hagel served in the 9th Infantry Division from 1967 to 1968, reaching the rank of sergeant. He received two Purple Hearts, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge. He served in the same infantry squad as his brother, and they saved each other's lives on different occasions.
In part due to Hagel's opposition to the Iraq War, his Secretary of Defense nomination was opposed by some of his former Republicans colleagues in the U.S. Senate, such as John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Some of his remarks about Israel also angered some senators from both sides of the aisle.
WASHINGTON -- As he prepares to hand over the reins of the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is warning that military power has its limits and Americans should avoid believing that force alone can transform conflict-riven societies in the Middle East and elsewhere. "It is easy to drift into other missions, and I do believe that you always... more
TACTICAL BASE GAMBERI, Afghanistan — It's only a slight stretch to say America's longest war stops here. The several hundred American soldiers on this remote base in Afghanistan's wild east are the vanguard of a transformed U.S. military mission meant to avoid the kind of unraveling of security that happened this year in Iraq and ensure that th... more
Ashton Carter left the No. 2 job at the Pentagon as a known defender of the costly F-35 Joint Strike Fighter who also pushed a new age of armored vehicles onto the battlefield. Now just 363 days after his retirement, Carter is poised to return as the next secretary of defense. While not yet official, Washington was abuzz on Tuesday with re... more
WASHINGTON -- Administration sources say that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is resigning from President Barack Obama's Cabinet. Hagel, a former Republican senator, has served as Pentagon chief since early 2013. Obama is expected to announce the resignation Monday. The official insisted on anonymity because this person was not authorized to dis... more
AREQUIPA, Peru — Rising sea levels and other effects of climate change will pose major challenges for America's military, including more and worse natural disasters and the threat that food and water shortages could fuel disputes and instability around the world, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Monday.

ACAPULCO, Mexico (August 6, 2013)--Two leftist activists have been found shot to death on Mexico's southern Pacific coast and a third was missing Tuesday.
The two men, who were found with their hands bound, both were shot in the head near Coyuca de Benitez, a town west of Acapulco.
The Emiliano Zapata Revolutionary Agrarian League said the victims, Raymundo Velazquez Flores and Samuel Vargas Ramirez, were members of the group, which was founded by leftist guerrilla leader Genaro Vazquez in the 1960s.
League leader Luis Olivares said Tuesday the bodies were found late Monday, and said a third activist is missing.
They had been involved in efforts to obtain greater government support for farmers, and in building support for the Mexican Communist Party.
An environmental activist was killed last week in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz.

The need for speed on the baseball diamond has always been a necessity at the major-league level. Elite speed can not only be utilized in the batter's box and on the basepaths, but it can also be an extremely valuable tool on defense. Consequently, players with tremendous speed have continuously been in high demand.
Of course, you'd be deeply mistaken to think speed only resides in the big leagues. There are countless minor-league prospects, particularly in the Milwaukee Brewers system, that have elite speed and are able to utilize it both on the basepaths and in the field of play. Once developed, these young players could turn out to be extremely useful for base-stealing advocate and Brewers manager Ron Roenicke.
Who are these young players and why are they considered to have above-average to elite speed on the baseball diamond? Let's find out.
Alec Dopp covers the Milwaukee Brewers as a featured columnist at Bleacher Report. Follow him on Twitter @alecdopp and read his blog.

Limit to # of vials of blood drawn??
0 Does anyone know if there is a limit to the amount of blood or # of vials that can be taken from a patient?? I work in home care and it is not uncommon to have several lab tests ordered, however, a pt i am seeing tomorrow has 13 labs ordered....i have never had that many to take from a single pt. I don't know how many different tests can be taken from a large vial as i am used to always using the small ones for cbcs, cmp, etc. Anyone have any advice? Thanks0Jun 16, '10 by kcochraneMany labs can be tested from one tube..so 13 labs does not equate to 13 tubes. But it is a good question. Ours print out and combine tests with tubes, so I really can't help with how many you will end up with. It could be only 4 or so.0Jun 16, '10 by luvmy2angelsLabs are
Calcium level
25 Hydroxy Vit D
Thanks for your responses. Good thing i picked up some large gold vials today!! All the other ones i have are the small ones. The only ones not listed on my lab sheet are the 25 hydroxy vit d, b12, and folate so i will have to call the lab to find out what color top to use, i am not familiar with drawing those ones.3Jun 16, '10 by meandragonbrettIt really just depends on your lab. I would call the lab where the specimens are sent and check with them.
Typically the majority of your chemistries can be run off of one tube, your hematology studies generally off of one or two tubes, your coags off one blue top, etc.
You'd need to check with the lab as they know their equipment.0Jun 16, '10 by geekgolightlyQuote from meandragonbrettThis! I am always calling down to lab and asking what I can combine and what needs to be separate. Call the lab you guys use and ask.It really just depends on your lab. I would call the lab where the specimens are sent and check with them.
Typically the majority of your chemistries can be run off of one tube, your hematology studies generally off of one or two tubes, your coags off one blue top, etc.
You'd need to check with the lab as they know their equipment.0Jun 16, '10 by MerakiI recently had blood work done and they took 11 vials so if there is a limit it must be quite high!1Jun 16, '10 by caroladybelle, RNNo, there is no limit to the number of tubes drawn, though you want to limit them to just the essential ones. Especially is the pt is anemic or cannot easily be transfused.
As a research onco nurse, I have done 20-30 tubes (many research tubes are large - 10cc tubes) off a pt at a time.
Having said that, many the tests listed repeat themselves. The Hct and Hgb are part of the CBCD. And BS is part of the CMP, w/ Calcium off the same tube.
You need to contact the lab running them and find out what can be combined. Usually standard coags can be all run off one blue top, and CBCD/Hct/Hgb off one purple top. But some of the others may be send outs and require a separate tube.Last edit by caroladybelle on Jun 16, '100Jun 16, '10 by EmBeMapHave never heard of an adult draw limit but we were told in phlebotomy training that on infants drawing more than 10% of blood volume a day could cause the pt to go into shock so they always warned us to check charts on peds pts to see what labs had been drawn in a day before doing any new lab draws...0Jun 16, '10 by GM2RNI was a phleb before I was a nurse, and near as I can tell, it looks like 4-5 tubes. As for a limit, there's none that I know of. I've drawn as many as 27 on one patient when I was a phleb. Another phleb that I worked with at the time drew something like 32.Last edit by GM2RN on Jun 16, '102Jun 16, '10 by TwilightRNurseLabs are
Calcium level
25 Hydroxy Vit D
The CBC w/diff includes the Hemoglobin and Hematacrit so that is 1 small lavender tube, draw a second small lavender tube for the BNP as 6cc is required for that test alone.
The Protime will be drawn in a small light blue tube
The CMP is drawn in a Red Tiger top tube so is the FBS, Calcium, PSA, 25 Hydroxy Vit D, B12, Folate, and PTH but you don't want to draw for more than 3 tests in each Red Tiger top tube so I would say draw:
2 small lavender tubes
1 small light blue tube
3 Red Tiger Top Tubes or 4 if the patient doesn't object. Sometimes the 25 Hydroxy Vit D is sent out and an extra Red Tiger Top tube is appreciated.Last edit by TwilightRNurse on Jun 16, '100Jun 16, '10 by P_RNAnother thought: You need to ask your agency for a policy about what goes in what tube. Many years ago my agency gave us this thick pocket size book with all the info in it. I kept it for years and even when I went to hospital Nursing I'd have it with me for my own reference.
We also had a color chart at the Nursing station that was sort of like this one:
http://labmed.ucsf.edu/sfghlab/test/...aw%20Chart.pdfLast edit by P_RN on Jun 16, '10 : Reason: added suggestion0Jun 16, '10 by steelydanfanof course the lab would like to draw as much blood as they think they need, but given that there is a real syndrome of iatrogenic anemia, the nurse would be wise to ascertain if pedi tubes can be drawn as often as possible on pt.s who need frequent sticks.

The Indian rupee has been the worst-performing Asian currency over the past month. This last Tuesday the USD:INR rate reached 58.985 — an all-time high! This latest upswing in the USD:INR rate begun last month near 54.00 and was fueled by a combination of domestic and international factors (see below). The all-time high rate prompted an unexpected appearance in the market by the Indian government. Their central bank , the Reserve Bank of India, intervened directly into the FX market by selling U.S. dollars. The intervention was successful, as it is now trading lower; however, seldom does one bout of intervention by a central bank turn the tide on a currency. I'll make a side bet that intervention will be needed again to prevent further rupee weakness.
Congressman Joe Kennedy III (MA 4th District) joined SVB CEO Greg Becker for a client dinner in Boston with about 30 local and discussed variety of issues, all in the general category of how the Federal Government can help entrepreneurs succeed. The topics included immigration reform, education (esp. education in science, technology, engineering and math, or "STEM"), what's going on with patent litigation, the business environment in MA, hiring, and federal funding for R&D. More information is available on our blog page.
Venture capital and private equity firms today face increased international exposure to currency fluctuations. They look to foreign exchange services as a way to protect the value of a transaction against sudden shifts in currency value – whether for an immediate and urgent deal, or as part of a longer-range strategy.
Venture capital and private equity firms often operate across borders - and look to foreign exchange services as a way to protect the value of their transactions against sudden shifts in currency value. Examples include funding an overseas office, calling capital, or handling investments or distributions - and their FX needs may be urgent, or part of a longer-term strategy.
Silicon Valley Bank CEO Greg Becker had a chance to interview Biz Stone, CEO of Jelly and Co-Founder of Twitter, at a recent event for SVB clients in Napa Valley.

Could anyone help me with the location of the black bear trophy legend on mission 5 in south central. I think its in kenai peninsula. You have to kill it using a bow from 30 yards. I've been going round looking for a fight so the animals attack me so i can take them down so it narrows the hunt down but have not come across any trophy bears. I dont understand the tracking on this game either. When you actually come across a trophy animal does it say anything other than male, female or offspring?
any help would be very much apreciated.

The question "how does our brand get more fans?" is one of the most popular responses people shoot me after reading our newsletter. It's a popular question because brands with the most fans are the most recommended.
My answer is a hackneyed version of the old adage: "know the why and the how will work itself out." So, the purpose of this article is to help you find out about the drivers behind fans, how they make brands and what you can do about it.

Adjustable Folding Tables
Adjustable Height Folding Tables Are Versatile for Banquets and Public Facilities
Use adjustable folding tables for your catered events, daycares, schools, or conference centers. Since these tables feature folding legs, they're easy to store in a compact space. You can also change the height of the adjustable legs to accommodate the height of your students or to change the function of the table. Use these tables at a banquet to display your food, and adjust several of them to be higher and to serve as bars. Read more
If you run a daycare or school, our colorful adjustable height folding tables are perfect for your students! You can use these tables for taller students, and then adjust them to be shorter for your youngest pupils. The bold colors are kid-friendly, and the shorter height will keep children comfortable during lessons. For conferences and hotels, these tables can be used for presentations and converted to bar height tables for evening functions.

The powers that be who are in charge of the Philadelphia Eagles are feeling pretty good about themselves right now, having just restructured their football operations staff with a couple of prized additions who come from a championship organization.
They're feeling so good, in fact, that they need Winston Wolfe, the problem-solver Harvey Keitel so marvelously portrayed in "Pulp Fiction," to come in and advise them not to, uh, start the celebration too soon, so to speak. Paraphrasing here for obvious reasons.
But you get the idea. The Eagles have been here before. Many times under current owner Jeffrey Lurie alone.
Until they weren't.
Let's take a ride...

Definitely a valuable product to have.
Glad I bought it. Very well made!
Nice Stainless Steel Appearance.
Not too thick, (even though it has a USB chip inside.) Have worn mine in shower without harm, BUT NOTE: that the water proof designation comes from the sealed removable memory "chip" not the entire bracelet ..see image. (I would worry about anyone inserting a wet USB chip into a computer so one should dry the "USB Chip" before inserting it into a computer.) The instructions are just adequate. Even though the the data entry is generally obvious, there are a few important instructions that are not covered. For example: >Hitting the "Reset Wizard" button on the last Menu Tab does NOT erase all the data. This button allows you to modify the important data on the first Menu Tab. This is not clearly explained in the instructions! There is NO info on the manufacturer (how to contact them for example)! I don't know if this is standard procedure for Walmart store brands or not. There is plenty of memory (512MB on mine) so I don't understand why some fields are limited in the number of entries (e.g. Medicines, Medical Issues). They are adequate for me but I don't understand why they didn't make them expandable. There is a generous space on last tab for : "More Information Regarding Directives" that I used to enter my feelings/instructions about Life Support. If it weren't for the last items I would have given this product a FIVE STAR rating in every category! Well Worth the money.
Extremely reasonable price. Nowhere else have I found a medical ID that can provide so much information so immediately to any emergency healthcare provider. Quick set-up with basic info. Easily edit as info changes. Edit function also provides opportunity to expand on basic info you initially entered. Not only name, address, dob, 2 emergency contacts, but also medical insurance info, physician and 2 specialists, employer, medical history for 8 diagnoses, surgical history for 5 procedures, up to 15 medications with dosage, frequency, and comments, 4 allergies with reactions, and advance directives. I can slip on the bracelet and take a long walk without having to lug along a purse and wallet. Durable construction. Just wish it came in a gold finish, and had a way to print out the info it contains, instead of having to just view it on the computer monitor.
I am a 69 year old man and I find the bracelet is problably made with only women in mind. The bracelet is way too tight for me to wear and I am a man with narrow wrists I had none of the problems reported by others with the use of the computer chip. I take 19 different medictions and was able to get them all in with no problem. I was annoyed to find an additional fee of $15 to get a personalized lable as the four supplied did not have my main medical condition, that I was an organ transplant recipient and on anti rejection drugs.
After searching many web sites and seeing the cost of medical alert braclets I was astounded at the prices. And most of these were only braclets or dog tag style necklaces with the medical alert symbol on them.
This product has that and a small water and shock proof flash drive inside of it. If you buy this product, when it arrives you do the following:
Open the package, choose the tag that best describes you medical condition. Open the outer cover and place that tag on the inner cover.
Then open the inner cover and take out the flash drive. Turn on your computer and once it is booted up just plug in the flash drive in your USB port.
DO NOT try to open the porgram with any windows application, simply wait for the program contained on the flash drive to start.
Once the program starts all you have to do is type in your information. Name, Emergency Contacts, Doctors Names, Prescription Drugs and over the counter drugs you take, the condition or conditions you have or have had. When finished just exit.
Place the flash drive back in the bracelet and close both covers.
If you have an emergency this flash drive can be placed in any computer by EMT's, hospital ER's, and Doctors and they can see all your information if you are not able to give it to them. This product could truely save your life.
I had a mild heart attack in 2004 and was told I am a type 2 diabetic a month ago. I purchase this item after my Doctor suggested I have some type of medical alert on my person.
I read other reviews on this product before I purchased it. Some of them were very misleading.
This product is NOT HARD to use. It does NOT HAVE TO MANY PAGES (only has 6 total). Data is easily entered and retrived. If you have an ongoing medical conditions and take more than three prescription durgs daily, you should have this product. I feel more secure wearing mine.
I like the concept of having my medical information readily available in an emergency situation and having this info on a USB is a fantastic idea. After purchasing it I found it to have more cons than pros. I've always disliked the idea of wearing a bracelet and agree with one of the other reviewers that it's designed for a woman. I went to the American Diabetes Association Expo a few weeks ago and got this new thing they have that's a wallet USB card called the 911 Medical ID card . This card is so much better (hold 2GB) and much more practical. It's so much easier to load and update and it also comes with online backup (at no charge or fees or subscriptions) so if you lose your card or need the information you can go to the website and retrieve, reload, update or just view your info. It also comes with a red sticker that says "911 emergency card inside" that you stick on your wallet and driver's license. After getting the wallet card I returned the bracelet. You can find them at www.911medicalidus.com. Tell Walmart to start carrying these cards in their stores, their awesome!
This item is Great!!! I the data card does have lots of space to enter current and past medical history. In addition to lots of space to enter many current and past medications and contact information. The only fault which I have found is that the written instructions does not tell you to slide the data card in your usb slot facing upward and sometime. And the band will pinch the skin sometimes, but a simple adjustment will fix this problem. Also you can only get it in one color the silver color. I would like to have it in a yellow gold look. Over all this item blends in well with all of my braclets. This produce is a must have and it will save you and your famikly members some life saving time and your medical provider. From ages 10 - 100 should have this produce. And you can not beat the price.
I really like this bracelet. The bracelet is quite attractive and fits loosely on my wrist. I'd guess its about 71/2" so would probably be too snug on a larger wrist. I had a little trouble opening the USB, but was able to open the program by using Control Panel and opening device that way. The forms on the USB are very easy to upload and give you plenty of room to add an extensive medication list and medical history. The only downside is you have to pay extra if you want a waterproof casing for the USB. You can also get this casing engraved for an additional fee. Meantime, I've wrapped my USB in some cling film to keep it dry during normal use. I like this bracelet because it should enable medical personnel immediate access to critical medical information about you in the event that you or a loved one can't provide it for you.
Will be returning this for two reasons: 1) Doesn't fit a 6.5" wrist; and more importantly 2) There is no software wizard, nor 6 short, simple pages of information... just a simple Notepad document! I already have a USB ICE card that I was hoping this would replace (since it could be engraved with a couple of vital pieces of information, so whoever finds you doesn't have to wait for the USB to load before attempting to help); but this falls way short.
band was too small, no choice for sizes, extra charge for a few extra links....band is for wrists 6" or less...the flash card was great and easy to set up, but worthless if you can't wear it
As a diabetic with recent heart surgery, I find it necessary to have a convenient way to provide medical responders with my current medical information. The USB card plugs in easily and provides readable screen information. I was able to enter my current medications and details about my surgery. The bracelet fits! I have larger-than-average wrists and thought I'd need to get an extension piece for the bracelet, but it fits just fine and looks good without being gaudy. The Alert Symbol on the bracelet gets the attention of EMTs and the USB card inside can be read by both Macs and PCs.
I returned it. 1. Opening screen is more interested in wearer's name and address and that of contact than necessary medical information. Too much scrolling is required to access information and as a result vital information could easily be missed.
2. "DNR" and "metal implant" are not easily found -- they are in the last section that could be easily missed - the heading does not describe the necessary level of importance. Both should be visible in the opening screen.
3. Medical allergies - poor design, two visible, otherwise the EMTs would have to scroll through and they might be too rushed to do so, or even not think to do so. Data entry (I have used computers for over 25 years) is far too awkward. Not until I had entered all data could I see the layout. All information should be accessible on one page. I did not like such an uncomfortable metal bracelet - women should have the option of a lighter weight, although if the software had been satisfactory I would have put up with it. Overall, a very good idea that needs a number of improvements before I would be willing to try again.
I really like this product. All my information is right there. I do not have to have part of it engraved and the rest of it some one has to call to get. This company has been great! I got a bad flash drive but they worked with me and got me a new one right out and it worked like a charm. This bracelet is very affordable and you do not have to pay a fee and be a memeber to update your information. It is all right there. I've had a medical alert bracelet from another company but could not afford the yearly fees. I love this product.
1. When you plug USB drive in, it is not clear how to open to enter information. 2. when you do open, there is step by step information instructions, and when you have entered all info you are taken to the page that will be viewed at hospital that does not match the the information that you entered properly. You have to edit medication info to enter line per line, provide year started, doseage, and times taken, that were not part of step by step set up to add this information. 3. Medication list that comes up on final screen only has spaces to enter 15 medications (medication, year and doseage), some of us take more, for me it was three short. I believe that it should provide for the entry of at least twenty medications? 4. Braclet is one size only, designed for smaller framed people, it does not fit larger framed people, tite fit, and I'm sure that it would not fit obese people. Several additional links should be provided to make bracket larger. I'm 6 foot 1 inch, large frame, it fits me a bit tite. One size does not fit all...
I love this id bracelet so much that after I purchased one for my daughter, I also purchased one for me. It is very easy to use the USB and enter the info. The only thing is that it does need to come in different size bands for those like me who have big wrists. I am just making an adjustment because I do have big wrists, but I am used to having to do this so no big deal. For the price of it plus a little extra to fit my wrist, it is still cheaper than other medical id bracelets I have seen and has no much info on it. I am just very surprised that I dont see more bracelets like this out there on the market. It would be cool to have as a necklace as well.
I noticed on a lot of the reviews that some people had an issue with the size of the band....my wrist measures 7" on the wrist bone but I wear it about an inch above that so it fits perfectly. Plus, it is an expansion band so it also stretches to fit a bigger wrist. I was very please since it's so difficult for me to find any kind of bracelet that won't fall off of my wrists. The USB is very self-explanatory but it does leave out that you need to insert it with contacts UP. Works great for me and I have loads of medications and health issues. There's more than enough space though you do need to remember that the first page is only for the MOST important information as that is the 'Snap Shot' view that emergency responders will see first. Overall, I'm very happy with this bracelet.
Purchased this for my mom about two months ago. I check it once a month to make sure the data is accessible/available. I have updated the information twice within the two months and with ease. I did have a little difficulty at first use. The usb must inserted into the computer connectors facing up. Moisture will get into the compartment. I did as another reader suggested, I took a little piece of clear plastic wrap and covered the usb to help keep it dry. The bracelet comes with an order form to order medical information (Persons name, doctor name/#, and Medical condition) plate/label to add to the inside of the bracelet for $15. The first label I received was a puffed Black w/white letters label very nice but too bulky/long to fit in the bracelet. I sent it back for a refund. Instead MACX inc. decided to send me a cheap red label that barely sticks (with moisture it is sure to fall off) and very hard to read. Even with my glasses on it is hard to read -having to tilt forward and back to make out the letters. It is a very thin vinyl tape like engraved with a hint of gray (kind of like electrical tape material with a paper backing). The red labels that came with the bracelet are of better quality and sticks very well, withstanding the moisture. For the charge of $15 MACX inc. should do better by the customer....this is unacceptable. I would have much rather received a refund. I will spend the extra money and try to find a place to get it engraved. The bracelet itself is a great investment so far. I have given it five stars.
I am very pleased with this bracelet. It is attractive and seems well made. I have received a number of very positive comments about its appearance. The only difficulty I have had is with launching the wizard to input the info. My computer is relatively current, but it took a while of poking around before the information wizard would come up. The directions for starting the wizard are minimal and could offer more alternatives to launch the wizard, but once that was complete, I have checked the chip and the info appears to be stable. Good product and good idea! I would recommend this to anyone with a medical problem.
Bought for my daughter. Easy to enter info. Excellent customer support. Recommend paying $15 for optional custom engraved aluminum insert. Which will give 5 lines of info to people accecesing bracelet who don't have a computer to read the USB chip.
This item was very easy to use. Just plug it in and fill in the information. Tested the item in an ambulance and it worked perfectly.

Hi here,
I'm using the option "The gallery will open the ImageBrowser instead the effect" and as result I have the following permalinks:
I have also on the page a facebook plugin (SFC). When you click on "Like" this plugin use get_permalink and you like "mysite.com/gallery/"
I'd like to change the permanlink to the specific image (mysite.com/gallery/?pid=1). My site will display party pics and I'm sure visitors want to like/share the picture where they are actually showing up and not the full gallery.
I tried to change this line without success.

We appreciated that four modes' worth of adjustable picture controls, including simulated 3D options, were available for the major services we tested (Netflix, Vudu, and Amazon--the last sans 3D). The Expert modes were not, however.
|HDMI inputs
|4 side
|Component video inputs
|2 back
|Composite video input(s)
|1 back, 1 side
|VGA-style PC input(s)
|USB port
|2 side
|Ethernet (LAN) port
|Other: RS-232 port
Unlike the slim Samsung and Panasonic plasmas, the LG has a set of honest-to-goodness multicolored RCA jacks that don't require breakout cables. Users of the Wi-Fi dongle might want a third USB port, but we doubt it. The RS-232 is available for connection to custom installation systems like Crestron or AMX.
With its light black levels, the PZ950 series is the only plasma TV we've tested this year that didn't score an 8 or higher in this category. That said, it's still a very good performer, with excellent color, the ability to handle 1080p/24, and all of the usual uniformity advantages over LCD.
Prior to any adjustment THX Cinema proved the most accurate setting on the PX950, although it still suffered from a minus-green grayscale. As with previous LG plasmas, grayscale calibration was frustrating due to variation from measurement to measurement, interactivity between controls and mislabeled settings. While we were able to dial in some improvements over THX, we couldn't achieve the kind of accuracy and consistency we've seen on other sets with multipoint controls, such as LG's LCDs and Samsung's plasmas. LG's CMS was also inferior to Samsung's, limiting the amount of improvement we could render to color points and saturation (especially blue).
For our image quality tests we enlisted "Unknown" on Blu-ray using the TVs below. Note that our 2011 comparison plasmas have been aged as part of CNET's long-term testing; we'll be performing the same aging on the LG PZ950, but in the meantime it's worth noting that our review sample had logged 230 hours at the time of review and calibration.
|Comparison models (details)
|50-inch plasma
|Panasonic TC-P50ST30
|50 inch plasma (2,077 hours)
|Samsung PN59D7000
|59-inch plasma (888 hours)
|Panasonic TC-P55VT30
|55-inch plasma (1,497 hours)
|47-inch LED with edge-lit local dimming
|Sony XBR-55HX929
|55-inch LED with full-array local dimming
|Pioneer PRO-111FD (reference)
|50-inch plasma
Black level: The LG plasma showed the worst (lightest) shade of black among the TVs in our lineup aside from the PX950, which measured and appeared identical in terms of black level. We noticed the LG's more washed-out black most in areas like letterbox bars and dark scenes, such as the nighttime taxi in chapter 3 (23:18). The difference was quite obvious, even when looking at the next-lightest sets; the Samsung D7000 and LG LW5600 were both clearly superior in this department, and the others even more so. The LG plasmas lacked the crispness and pop of the other sets in mixed scenes, although as usual brighter scenes made the black-level and contrast differences less apparent.
Shadow detail was very good on the PZ950, with no loss of detail near black--something that can't be said of the D7000 or LW5600--as well as no excessive lightening, as we saw near-black on the VT30. The caveat is that shadows and dark areas on the LG plasma appeared lighter, and thus less realistic, compared with the other displays.
Color accuracy: Despite some flaws, the PZ950 performed very well in this category, outdoing both Panasonics with its post-calibration Expert settings, yet falling short of the Samsung. We saw evidence during a tight shot of January Jones' face in chapter 2, for example (19:10), where her face looked quite natural and very close to the D7000, the LW5600, the Sony and the Kuro, without the golden, slightly greenish tones of the VT30 or the less saturated look of the ST30. Colors did seem a bit more washed-out at times on the PZ950, however, as a result of its lighter black levels.
Near-black measured better on the PZ950 compared with the bluish tinge of the LEDs, although the LG plasmas' lighter black levels made discolorations in shadows and deeper black areas a bit more obvious than on the other plasmas. That said, the PZ950 still had one of the most neutral grayscales at low light levels in our lineup.
Video processing: The LG handled 1080p/24 sources well, delivering the proper film cadence according to our tests. We don't consider its somewhat lower motion resolution score an issue, since we didn't see any evidence of blurring during program material.
Like past LG plasmas, the PZ950 did tend to retain afterimages more noticeably than the Samsung or the Panasonics in our lineup, but as usual they disappeared quickly and we don't consider burn-in any more of a problem on this plasma TV than others.
Bright lighting: Bright-room picture quality on the PZ950 was worse overall than on any of the other sets aside from the PZ950 from last year. The LGs didn't reduce the brightness of reflections nor preserve black levels as well as any of the others in our lineup.
3D: The PZ950 wasn't a bad 3D performer but fell short of the picture quality of all of the active models save the Sony LED and the PX950. We still preferred its image to the passive LW5600, mainly due to latter's jagged edge artifacts and somewhat softer picture.
We checked out "Tron: Legacy" for our 3D test and substituted the Samsung UN55D800 for the 2D-only Kuro. We didn't perform a 3D calibration, instead relying on the best picture preset (THX 3D Cinema).
Crosstalk was worse on the PZ950 than on any of the other 2011 sets, showing the telltale ghost image around difficult areas like the pattern on the floor of the dressing room in chapter 5 (28:25) and the stripes on Quorra's suit in chapter 9 (1:04:00). That said, the PZ950's crosstalk did not worsen as we moved off-angle, as it did on the LCD sets (especially the passive LW5600).
We also noticed something none of the other 3D TVs showed: a moiré effect where faint concentric rings of varying brightness and color appeared in the image as we moved off-angle. They stabilized, but remained visible, when we stopped moving, so we assume they're caused by some kind of interaction between the glasses and screen.
Comparing the THX settings of the VT30 and the PZ950 by eye, we definitely preferred the Panasonic. The LG's THX crushed black detail, and while it did show better black levels, the tradeoff wasn't worth it. Skin tones and colors on the two were similar, however. Of course we could adjust the Panasonic's THX setting but not the LG's, although the latter has picture settings in other modes (including full control of 3D via Expert) that should allow significant improvement over THX.
As expected, the LG PZ950 couldn't get nearly as bright as the LCDs with 3D material, especially the passive LW5600. This isn't an issue unless you have a very bright room, however; in most lighting situations the light output of plasmas like the PZ950 in 3D is sufficient.
Power consumption: Again as we'd expect, the PZ950 is no power miser, costing a few bucks more per year than 50-inch Panasonics, although it is significantly more efficient than last year's LG. The default Standard picture mode on the PZ950 measures relatively bright at about 40 Fl with the room lighting sensor off, which accounts for its higher power use than the default modes of the way-too-dim Panasonics.

Another question, if I can't do step two, can I continue on with step 3 and do the NAND backup later?

Ireland's buff physique gives video substance
When Kathy Ireland made her first fitness video about five years ago, she seemed to be just another beautiful swimsuit model attempting to cash in on the fitness video craze.
The workout was fine - Ireland at least had the sense to partner with a certified instructor - but her performance left a lot to be desired, her bouncing breasts and breathy delivery commanding a lot more attention than the various exercise moves.
But surprise, surprise. At some point, Ireland seemed to realize that her career as fitness video mogul would be short-lived unless she developed some credibility. And she has, becoming a certified fitness trainer with the buff bod to match.
In the introduction to her fifth tape, ''Kathy Ireland's Advanced Sports Fitness,'' Ireland even refers to her embarrassingly jiggly past, explaining that she developed this new workout to help her performance in the sports she loves.
The tape, however, is somewhat mistakenly named. Though the 55-minute routine is filled with lunges, squats, push-ups and bicep curls - classic exercises that build strength and endurance - none of the moves is specifically keyed to improve, say, your overhead smash or your ability to drive the lane.
The tape's subtitle - ''An Intensive Cross-Training Workout'' - is a better indicator of its content.
Still, the tape offers a thorough workout, in alternating sections that Ireland calls ''the chorus'' and ''the verses.''
The chorus, which is performed four times, works the lower body in a series of lunges, squats, quick-paced footwork and jogging in place. Between the repetitions of the chorus, there are three weight-training segments that focus on the upper body: shoulders, back and chest, biceps and triceps. These segments call for two sets of 20 reps of each exercise, which demand a good bit of strength even with light weights.
Ireland provides a few modifications for the more difficult upper-body moves, and she frequently advises that it's OK to rest a bit if the routine gets too challenging, but it's clear that this tape is meant for experienced exercisers. Beginners should master some easier tapes before attempting this one.
Though the tape is aimed at veteran exercisers, it is not as slick or as polished as the typical offering for the highly fit, and that is an appealing change of pace.
Ireland is charmingly down-to-earth as a leader. She lovingly introduces and hugs the four fitness buffs who exercise alongside her. (One is her mother, and the others are certified hard bodies.) Between segments, she often stops to adjust her tight red exercise shorts or slug down some water. She even gets realistically out of breath as she leads the routine; by the end, she's gasping.
Ireland may not be the most dynamic instructor on tape, but she has developed into a competent, encouraging leader. And with the help of fitness pro Tim Green, a national aerobics champion, she has put together a tape that should challenge even dedicated exercisers.

iPad 2 accessories detailed by Steve JobsPocket-lint
Finished feeling underwhelmed by the iPad 2 launch? It may be all a bit of a let down, but it's still likely to be the best tablet out there for a while, even if it isn't packing the high end features that we'd all hoped for.
And if you do decide to grab one come launch day on 11 March (or 25 March if you don't live in the USA!) you're gonna want to grab yourself a couple of accessories.
Although the two that Jobs showed off at the iPad 2 launch over in Cupertino were almost as much of a damp squib as the tablet sequel - a HDMI out lead (which was much needed, if not entirely revolutionary) and a magical magnetic case that Steve called "Smart Cover".
The HDMI lead costs a substantial $39, and can output up to 1080p, works with all apps, supports iPad rotation, and also still allows you to charge your iPad when you're using it. It will also work with the iPhone 4 and the iPod touch.
The case (although don't call it a case in front of Steve, he was keen to point out that it's much more) is like a fold-able sheet, that you can manipulate to make into a stand.
It stays in place with magnets (auto-aligned) and will automatically wake your iPad 2 up from standby when you open it, and put it to sleep when you close it.
The covers come in polyurethane or leather, and there's 10 different colour options. The leather ones are more pricey at $69, the polyurethane ones (the same material as used in space suits says Steve) are $30 less.

Hey Community,
Is it possible to produce a flash header that transitions through different aspects of the flash movie as a user browses through different pages/posts?
I imagined a header that transitions into one picture at the beginning, then each time the user clicks on a link to a new page in WordPress it transitions to a new set.
Is this something that Flash can do alone? Or would it take some AJAX? Or is it even possible?
Anyhow, I am new to this sort of concept, so any help, suggestions, links, and references is greatly appreciated.

After verifying that the My SQL version was the latest (following the steps on this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-update-to-32-on-media-temple?replies=40) despite the auto-updater saying it wasn't, I went ahead and manually updated my WP version following the steps outlined here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress
My site seems to be functioning normally but when I attempt an admin login to my site now, I get a fullscreen message saying "You cannot update because WordPress 3.3.2 requires MYSQL version 5.0 or higher. You are running version 4.1.11." NO I'M NOT!!
The WP manual update steps say "If you see a "failed update" nag message, delete the file .maintenance from your WordPress directory using FTP. This will remove the "failed update" nag message."
I checked my files via the FTP site and couldn't find any .maintenance file.
I'm at a loss here. Any advice on where to go from here? Thanks!

never ridden a lost, but I've tried several channel islands. I found CI kinda clunky...yeah, they're super stable, but I just think they're a little weird. I've also ridden a bunch of Rustys and they were a better riding/more tuned board on average than CI.

Love them both. Have always been a CI guy but have recently gotten on the Lost train. I like the refinement of the CI boards...and yes not all CI boards are created equal. But I have a few guys that I like to stick with as I have grown accustom to their rails and foils. I do think that a lot of their boards work well in better waves and since we dont get good waves all the time Ive started exploring the lost line.
\nThe guys at lost are awesome and I really like their open mindedness to design and construction. There are lots of cool innovative ideas as far as blanks, design, and glassing that get me fired up. Plus its hard to beat designing your board on the AKU shaper program with him...love that! The ghost shapers and factory guys at lost are also amazing, plus their in house glass jobs are bullet proof. Very cool and down to earth...cant wait for my new boards!
\nFor me,
\nSmaller waves or normal fat socal conditions: Lost
\nBetter waves or more powerful stuff: CI
\nBoth can have similar pricing so that is a wash.

LOST! I had the flow hook-up with Channel Islands and rode them for 15 years. Had some real magic boards. But after Burton bought them out, the custom orders became very incosistant, and even though the shapes were great, they would fall apart within months. I tried a few Losts, and loved how they rode. Bought a CI and Lost at the same time. Rode them both equally. Put my foot through the tail on the CI within 2 weeks. The Lost held up for a much longer time. Far superior glass jobs. Even with the hook-up, i'll never buy another CI. Anyone else, for the price, Mayhem is the way to go for sure. So digusted to see the price tags for off the rack CI's. $750 and up, plus the fins are sold seperatley. Over $800 out the door for a board that will last 6 months tops is a joke. Plus I like Matt Biolas' concept in shaping boards for anyone at any level. Alot of the boards he shapes for the pros, the average joe could ride. Very user friendly. It's so funny to watch kids rush to the store to buy the newest Dane or Kelly model, and being sold something they can't ride confidantley. CI sold out and went to ****.

\ngo to a shop & show me a stock poly CI that retails for $750 as they sell now: w/out fins. the most i've ever seen one retail for was $705 w/ fin & i work in a shop that carries them. not to say that $705 isn't expensive, but people who exaggerate prices & use that misinformation to bash a company really bothers me.

I have been riding my CI Fred Rubble for the last year here in So.Cal. on mostly chest and above waves, and the worst that has happened to my CI board is a small pressure ding from my rear foot. I love the way my Fred handles in big surf. It is also very fun and can loosen up with the right fin config. It won't do well in smaller surf though.
\nI rented a Lost V2 Rocket one morning a few weeks ago when the waves were 2-3 on a fat tide. I loved the way it rode. It paddled well and was super fast. However, I wouldn't take it out in anything over 4 feet.
\nAs far a glass, both boards felt the same.
\nSo choose your board for the right conditions, not because of a name brand.

I don't care for, nor have I ever ridden either one of those board makers boards. I use a local shaper and help support my local surf scene. I have two very magic boards from my guy right now. A fish and a shorty, and they are the best boards I have ever thrown under my feet. Not nocking CI or LOST but I cant see paying the price tag for a board that wasn't shaped for me specificly.

\nI've also had a ...Lost RNF. Great board. Better than a locally shaped custom RNF (ive had many) IMO because fine tuning that shape for 15 years matters.
\nI demoed a Lost Bottom Feeder this past summer for a couple of weeks and hated every minute of it. I could not ride that board to save my life.

... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page.I've loved every LOST I've ever had.. But I disaggree with the statement that they last longer. I find that they lose their pop quicker then most other boards I ride. They are great for a while, but then they just dont feel the same.... Or maybe it's jus in my head and I want a new stick.

I have a few Lost... boards now and I used to never buy brand name boards. My Mini Driver and RNF are both stock and the RNF is one of my favorite boards I've had in a long time. Haven't really been able to put the Mini to the test but the few sessions I've had on it have been great. Also, have a custom Bottom Feeder. It took forever (3 months in summer) to get but I've had a handful of sessions on it and its been great.
\nI had a couple of channel islands boards and sold both after riding them just once.
\nAlthough, I don't think that either company really compares to the custom local boards I was getting at Hatteras Glass when I lived in Avon. But I live in Wilmington, NC now and haven't been able to find a local shaper/glasser that works for me.

i had a custom speed demon 2 a few years ago and the board was insanely good. I retired it lat year and took it to Jon Ashton and asked him to copy it for me since I liked it so much. He made a few slight adjustments and the new board is even better.

Get the best of both worlds!
Tommy Moore, who was until recently working for ...lost as a ghost shaper has now relocated to Virginia Beach (he moved home) and is back doing his own line TMOORE Shapes. Boards are sick, great built quality customs cheaper than a stock off the shelf ...lost or CI (you dont have to pay for marketing and pro rider budgets) and his shapes are as cutting edge as anything coming out of those to board factorys.
Tommys Boards are sick, some of the best rail work you will ever see. HIs boards are fantastic. Its great to be able to sit and talk to Tommy bring in your current board, tell him what it does and what it doesnt do and go ffrom there if you are not sure what you want. I will warn you, LISTEN to what he says, a few boards I bucked him on what I wanted, but guesss what the man knows what he is talking about. He built boards for me doing exactly what i emphatically said to do, they didnt work nearly as good as the boards he took my desires and built a board he knew would work. Just get on a TMOORE you will have found your shaper for life for performance boards!
