Take the Stress Out of Santa Season
Keep Them Posted on Big Plans
Change is unsettling no matter your age: Would you want to trade your bed for a cot so Uncle Ira can be comfortable? Nope, and neither does your little one. So when her life is about to be disrupted, give her a heads-up, but without making too big a deal about it. That in itself can whip up worry by making her think something must be wrong, says Martin. "Instead, start by providing a truthful reason for the change that makes sense to your children," she suggests. For example, explain that Uncle Ira has a bad back and needs a soft mattress. Then point out what won't change. ("We'll put your favorite sheets on the cot, and you can still play in your room during the day.")
Fall Back on Routine
"Kids crave structure because it's soothing when they can predict what's going to happen next," notes Martin. But impromptu gatherings and unexpected houseguests make sticking to every routine nearly impossible. "Instead, aim to keep at least some aspect of the routines your child is accustomed to," says Martin. For instance, if you can't tuck them in at their regular time, keep up at least one typical pre-bed ritual, like a bedtime story or a glass of warm milk. "This lends focus to the chaos," says Martin. "Kids know that no matter what else is going on, this is something they can count on."
Give Them Freedom to Frolic
"Overscheduling activities can lead to tense and anxious kids," notes Ruth Peters, Ph.D., a child and adolescent psychologist based in Clearwater, FL. And since stress over a prolonged period taxes the immune system, it may even result in physical ailments, such as colds or flu. "Set aside two hours each day for kids to be kids, and avoid scheduling back-to-back or even daily holiday activities," suggests Peters. Also, consider getting a babysitter for at least some of the adult events you know they won't enjoy — for example, the kind where they have to dress up or keep quiet for too long.

I'm not your typical fan of Discworld. In fact, if it weren't for the first two books, I probably wouldn't be a fan at all.
A fun romp from the late, great Terry Pratchett, and a marked improvement on the first Discworld book, The Colour of Magic. I said in my review of that earlier book that I needed more from its successor to be convinced of Pratchett's brilliance, and I am happy to say I have received such evidence. Similar in tone to The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic nevertheless has much more about it: for one thing, this one actually has a plot. The jokes also come much thicker and faster and never grate (I only groaned once: at the looters/luters pun on page 238). I'm not quite 'there' yet as a fan, but I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the Discworld is going to be a good place for me to spend the odd afternoon.
This was the second book published in the Discworld series, and it concluded the story that began in The Color of Magic.
I enjoyed this book a little more than the first one. It's hard for me to pinpoint why, because it wasn't drastically different from the first book, but I laughed more at the humor and I usually cared a little bit more about what would happen next in the story. I'm probably getting accustomed to the writing style and consequently doing a better job of just appreciating it for what it is.
The characters continued to grow on me. Rincewind and Twoflower went from "amusing but somewhat annoying" to "amusing and somewhat likable". I thought Rincewind in particular had some nice character growth, which I'll discuss a little more in spoiler tags below. I look forward to meeting some of the characters again and seeing what they're up to.
There are a few spoilers for both books 1 and 2 within the spoiler tags:
This is just a little more explanation about what I meant by my reference to Rincewind's character growth. In the first book, his sole goal was to look out for himself. He might occasionally have felt bad about leaving somebody in harm's way and saving himself, but he did it anyway. He only helped other people when he was forced into it, such as when he was threatened by the luggage or the magic sword. By the end of the second book, however, he was slowly starting to change. He still thought about himself first, but sometimes he did the right thing in spite of himself, even when nobody was forcing him into it, almost as if it was becoming a habit. I like seeing that kind of more subtle character growth. But I was mad at him for kicking the luggage and saying he didn't want it after Twoflower gave it to him! That was just mean.
I look forward to seeing how/if he develops in future books. I bet he'll get himself into all kinds of new trouble now that he doesn't have the spell from the Octavo preventing him from learning new spells anymore.
Rincewood, Twoflower, and the Luggage save Discworld from extinction. Terry Pratchett really makes me laugh.
The Discworld books are perhaps the only series that I've never felt the need to read in order... this one, I believe, is the second installment in the two-dozen-plus volume humorous series... I'm not usually much for reading 'humor,' but Pratchett (and Douglas Adams) are my exceptions. They really are very very funny.
In this one, the Discworld, atop its giant turtle cruising through space, is on a collision course with a giant star. The only way to avert disaster will be to have the eight spells of the tome known as the Octavo read simultaneously and at the right moment.... however, one of the spells has left the book and is lodged in the brain of the failed wizard Rincewind, who is in parts unknown with the archetypal Tourist, Twoflower, and his amazingly cute but quite possibly malevolent travelling Trunk, The Luggage.

The Prayer of Supplication
Today I want to focus your attention on the prayer of supplication. Ephesians 6:18 tells us,
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints
When Paul says, Praying always with all prayer, the Greek word he uses for prayer is just a general term for prayer used throughout the New Testament.
But the word he uses translated supplication means prayer for definite, specific needs. Most generally, you will find that this is a prayer prayed for others, as is the case in this verse.
In Philippians 1:4, Paul uses this same word for supplication, when he says,
Always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy.
Both the words translated prayer and request are the Greek word for supplication that we just read in Ephesians 6:18. But here it is translated as prayer and request.
I want you to notice who he is saying to pray for, Always in every prayer of mine making request for you all. It is for someone else.
Recently, I had a pastor friend ask me to pray for his church and their finances. He said things were really tight. So several times I brought the issue before God and made specific requests about it…or supplications.
Now, I did not pray, "I believe I receive it." That is not my place. What I did do was pray for God to help them. I prayed that God would give them wisdom, that God would inspire the people in the church to give, that people would have a heart for souls, and a number of other specific requests over the following several days.
That is the prayer of supplication…praying specific requests for specific people.

Even as word emerges that Chronicle director Josh Trank is in talks to helm Sony's long-gestating Spider-Man spinoff Venom, Deadline reports Fox has hired Max Landis to pen the sequel to their hit found-footage superpower saga.
The film, which follows three teens (played by Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell and Michael B. Jordan) whose lives spin out of control after they develop superhuman abilities, has grossed $105 million worldwide since its release early last month.
Landis, the 26-year-old son of director John Landis, sold a pitch for space adventure to Disney in January, and also has a Frankenstein project in the works at Fox.
Other than the chopped-off ending, I though this was a well done low-budget film. I'd def be on board to see a sequel.
I just wonder what it would be about considering the ending. also it be cool if it wasn't found footage this time don't want this to just be the Paranormal Activity movies with superpowers.
I'm in, this film was a very pleasant surprise.

We Were Promised Flying Cars, Instead Fuel-Efficient Cars Are Flying Off The Lots
Flying cars may be a few more decades off — or relegated to a permanent niche by their inherent inefficiency — but how are we doing on a post-gasoline future?
When President Obama announced Charlotte Mayor (and streetcar fan) Anthony Foxx as his pick to be the next Transportation Secretary this week, current Secretary Ray LaHood said that the improved fuel economy standards he helped achieve were a "big deal."
These Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards have been improved such that the cars sold in American will get an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. That is much stronger than the 35 mpg by 2020 goal set in the energy law signed by President Bush in 2007.
How is that working out? Last month, the average fuel economy reached a record high:
According to the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute, the average fuel-economy value of vehicles sold nationally during March reached a record high of 24.6 mpg — a 0.2 mpg increase from the revised value for February 2013.
This brings the efficiency value up 4.5 mpg from October 2007, the starting point for the institute's monitoring, the institute's director and project manager noted in a joint statement. In October 2012, the institute recorded the value at 24.1 mpg.
In model year 2012, car makers made record improvements and beat the first year targets. The year's fleet-wide CO2 emissions dropped to 296 grams per mile, a 13 percent improvement from 2007. It is not only the growth in hybrid and electric vehicles that is driving this trend: SUVs are getting more efficient, direct-injection systems have grown from zero to 24 percent of all models, turbochargers and variable-speed transmissions are more prevalent, and vehicles are becoming lighter. A quarter of model year 2012 vehicles already meet the 2016 standards.
It might seem like these changes are moving too fast for the public, but the reality is that huge majorities support the new standards (92 percent of Democrats, 87 for Independents, and 77 for Republicans).
As the gasoline-based fleet starts to use less gasoline, electric cars continue to make a stronger and stronger case for their incorporation into the fleet — and the grid.
In 1991, Amory Lovins invented the concept of "vehicle-to-grid" systems, where parked-and-charging electric cars would use their batteries as massive banks of distributed energy sources and stores for the grid. An owner of an electric car usually only drives it for a few hours a day. When it is not being driven, charging away at work or home, it does not need every hour to charge. So vehicle owners could choose to use the time to both charge and supply the grid with energy during peak hours and second-by-second variations in demand, known as "frequency regulation. "
Utilities see this as an asset, and will pay for the privilege of using an electric car's battery like this. New technology from researchers at the University of Delaware allows American electric cars to both charge and discharge — right now, most do not have the technology for this. The cost would be $400 per car, but because the electric company would pay about $5 per day (almost $1800 per year) for the privilege of connecting to an electric vehicle, owners would earn back that cost in less than 3 months. Stronger chargers still in development would allow a fleet of cars move beyond frequency regulation into operating as "spinning reserve" — which means replacing a natural gas-fired turbine spinning and waiting to pick up utility load within seconds. The military is even trying out vehicle-to-grid in a pilot project on domestic bases.
Electric cars are powered by the current grid, which is generally composed of well over three-quarters fossil fuel-based energy. However, as renewables become a larger part of the electricity charging our vehicles, the gasoline-free fleet would become an actual carbon-free. As it releases its new i green car brands, BMW is beginning to offer a discount on installation of a rooftop garage solar microgeneration system.
More prosaically, states are still grappling with the fact that a growing share of the cars on their roads are using either less or no gasoline. Virginia's new transportation law cuts the gas tax but levies a fine on electric cars. A California bill looks to cut the sales tax on plug-ins. There are few laws on the books protecting car charging parking spots for electric cars. "Range anxiety," which means concern over having enough charge to continue driving, is one of the barriers electric cars face to wide adoption. As the infrastructure gets installed nationwide to support electric cars, it does little good if a gasoline-powered car is blocking the spot, like a stagecoach parked in a gas station.
8 Responses to We Were Promised Flying Cars, Instead Fuel-Efficient Cars Are Flying Off The Lots
This article is analogous to a three-pack-a-day smoker being diagnosed with spots on the lung, announcing that he had reduced his habit to 2.5 packs a day over five years, and in a decade would be down to a pack a day. We have run out of carbon budget shown by a number of metrics, and any more CO2 emissions only places us further into the extreme danger zone. While any mileage improvement should be commended, the absolute value of what we are still emitting puts us that much closer to the cliff.
The progress of electric car technology, including fast-charging stations and vehicle-to-grid integration, is really impressive.
The new fuel-efficiency standards are not. I drive a 22-year old Ford Festiva that gets 35 MPG in worst-case, stop-and-go urban traffic, and over 50 MPG on the open highway — with 22-year old technology. There were a number of other vehicles sold in the USA around 1990 (e.g. the Geo Metro) that got comparable gas mileage. And the US car manufacturers have been building 60 MPG cars for years — but only selling them in Europe and Asia, not in the US market where gas-guzzling SUVs were their cash cows.
There is nothing impressive about requiring the auto corporations to do by 2025 what they have been able to do since 1985.
Now, a BAN on internal combustion engines in all new, non-emergency civilian vehicles in 2025 might be impressive … the way EV battery & charging technology is progressing, fossil fueled cars may be obsolete by then anyway.
A few thoughts on all this…
Speaking as a recent leasee of a Nissan Leaf, I can say with authority that it's an absolute blast to drive, even when one is not driving by a gas station and laughing like Jack Nicholson's Joker in the first Batman movie.
EVs and PHEVs are right on the cusp of going from niche to mainstream, thanks to cost reductions. Some GM exec was just recently quoted as saying that the next version of the Volt will not be decontented and will see a $7k to $10k price drop. I expect to see the next gen Leaf drop a bit in price ($2k to $3k?) and increase its range (20%?). Both the Volt 2.0 and the Leaf 2.0 should be on the market in 2015, alongside (hopefully) much wider availability of the Fit EV, the Spark EV, the Fiat 500 EV, etc.
All pluggable cars will automatically get much cleaner as we decarbonize our electricity supply, something we have to do whether our rolling stock of vehicles is 0% or 100% electric. We simply can't get to where we need to be, emissions-wise, without making that transition. (I live in an area where customers can choose their electricity supplier, so my Leaf already gets 100% green electrons.)
The "doubling of mileage standards" by 2025 is pretty much on, but the 54.5 mpg CAFE figure is misleading because most people will (logically) assume NHTSA CAFE is the same as average EPA mileage, which it is not. EPA average mileage will end up being a bit over 40 mpg — still impressive — but there will be those who'll whine "But we were supposed to have 54.5 mpg! You promised!!!"
Festiva, Metro, & friends were fine for their day, but are rolling death-traps against the SUV's that followed. Lose the Festiva, you'll live longer ;)
"However, as renewables become a larger part of the electricity charging our vehicles, the gasoline-free fleet would become an actual carbon-free."
At present, in most markets, if you are the one of the first (or first hundred thousand) EVs in your area, nighttime charging is ALREADY carbon-free!
The 'spinning reserve' you speak of at night is usually much higher than in the day. There are only a handful of plants in an area, running at, say, 50% fuel consumptions, but with only, say, 10% of the load at night. I desperately need to get harder numbers on this, it's true. But all indications are that for most people, maybe for the first hundred million cars, spread across the nation, the only emissions from nighttime charging will be emissions that would have been "WASTED" anyway because of the way the grids are engineered.
Complete and total guilt free driving.
Not to mention cheaper. Average equivalent cost of electricity is $1/gallon. But average cost at night using load-based billing is a QUARTER per gallon.
Ed Leaver wrote: "Festiva, Metro, & friends were fine for their day, but are rolling death-traps against the SUV's that followed. Lose the Festiva, you'll live longer"
I'm 60 years old and I've been driving the Festiva for 20 years, so I'm not too worried about that. In fact, its agility and responsive handling has saved me from a couple of accidents.
Having said that, one would think that after 22 YEARS, the technology would have progressed to build cars that get AT LEAST as good gas mileage as the 1990-vintage Festiva, Metro and Civic while including modern safety features (e.g. air bags) that they lacked.
And of course, as I noted, it has — all of the major US auto manufacturers build 60 MPG compact cars with modern safety features, but only sell them in Europe and Asia. And in fact, one way that Ford and other companies are improving the efficiency of their US fleets is by simply bring to the US market the fuel-efficient cars they have been selling in Europe for years.
I think all the fancy things cars have these days, and the improved safety standards bump up the weight a bit. Not that car companies couldn't do a lot better than what they do now.

Fun, but very neon pink
Reviewed: 14 July 2015 by yorkieted, a Straight Married Male
I was pleased to receive this little item from the kind folk at Lovehoney as a tester, always happy to do my bit for the LH community. We've a few vibrating cock rings in our collection but this is the first pink one... and boy, is it pink! The bullet is a lovely silver colour and the batteries are easy to fit (there's even an insert to tell you which way round to insert them!).
Mrs Yorkie and I have just had a lovely naughty weekend away without the children at a posh hotel, and we took this in our little "away day" box. The first thing to say is that it fits very well on me... quite tight in fact, but not uncomfortably so. Mrs Yorkie said it looked very pretty when she'd glided it down as far as it would go! That's not something she's ever said about any others! It doesn't have a second ring to fit around the balls, unlike one or two others we've got, however.
The vibrations, though, are amazing for us both. We started on the lowest setting, but quickly worked up to the highest setting which Mrs Yorkie loved pressed against her clitoris whilst I was making slow shallow thrusts inside her. I can also vouch that this is very pleasurable for the wearer of the cock ring also - I could really feel the vibrations against my pelvic bone and down through my cock. In fact, Mrs Yorkie is adamant that it turned me into a giant vibrator inside her by sending pulses down my entire shaft.
We tried a number of positions, but we found it worked best for both of us in a simple shallow missionary position and with her ankles over my shoulders to allow deeper penetration and more forceful pressure against her clit. The rabbit ears really seemed to hit the spot in this position and it had her making quite a noise in the hotel room. The smaller "third ear" at the front (maybe it's a tiny tongue!) really enveloped her clitoris to her great delight.
The bullet is a little tight in its enclosure on this ring, so a little fiddly to get it in and out, but I'm sure this will develop a little give over time with more use and cleaning. It is so easy to clean with antibacterial soaps or toy cleaner, and the bullet is actually very powerful.
All in all, a really great and simple cock ring.
- Pros
- Powerful, fun, tight fit.
- Cons
- Nothing - once I'd got used to its pinkness!
- Bottom line
- Hits the spots for us both.

Pinky little beauty
Reviewed: 25 June 2016 by Melhardingox, a Straight Engaged Female
One of mine and my other half's favourite cock rings.
Have previously bought serval in the past, but this one is the most powerful and gave both of us amazing pleasure!
The little bunny ears certainly hit the spot multiple times! Also fits comfortably on my partner. Nice pink colour with a silver bullet.
Came with batteries too, so we got to use it straight away. Can't wait to use it again. Mmmm...
- Pros
- Can be used in different positions and still works wonders. Also girly pink colour.
- Cons
- Slightly chunky.
- Bottom line
- By far one of the best cock rings.

Not the best, not the worst
Reviewed: 20 January 2016 by BecBug, a Straight Engaged Female
We have quite a few different vibrating cock rings in our collection, so when I browsed the Lovehoney website and came across this I really wanted to give it a go!
It's a lot more basic compared to the others we have, there's only one speed setting using the bullet inserted (which is perfect on its own), but this doesn't matter really.
It did hit the spot but I must say it's certainly not my favourite. We've only used it the once so far with him on top, and I've got a feeling it might hit the spot even more when I'm on top.
I'd certainly recommend it to people who are intrigued by vibrating cock rings but are a bit overwhelmed with the more advanced ones that have different settings, speeds and bits and pieces attached!
- Pros
- Colour, the bullet can be removed and used on its own.
- Cons
- Quite basic.
- Bottom line
- Perfect beginner's vibrating cock ring.

What's the holdup with Samsung Galaxy S4's Exynos 5 Octa version?
Posted: 01 Apr 2013, 04:55, by Daniel P.
"What's the holdup? Well, it turns out that Samsung went with the simpler and cheaper way to design 28nm chips like the Exynos 5 Octa, called gate-first, while the competing foundry TSMC designed its production capacity with the harder to implement gate-last process, developed by Intel. The problem stems from the fact that gate-first might be easier to transition to, but gives yield problems later on, especially with complex SoCs, and that's exactly what seems to be happening with Exynos 5 Octa."
"Long story short, it might be a while before Samsung ramps up enough 28nm yield for Exynos 5 Octa to be implemented on a broader scale throughout its portfolio of mobile gadgets. Granted, only performance geeks would care about the benchmark difference between the Snapdragon 600 and Exynos 5 Octa chips, as today's mobile processors are already more powerful than Android needs, but this little episode might be a hint that the touted 14nm and even 20nm chips that Samsung says it has tapped out already, might remain in the labs longer than we thought, of which the main beneficiary will likely be TSMC, exactly where Apple is heading to build its proprietary A6 and A7 chipsets."

The Barry Bonds saga has become the sort of serial debacle that forces you to choose a favorite moment. There's race, sex, drugs, fame, money, family and Felipe Alou as everybody's multilingual grandfather. There are opinions and defenses and tears -- more tears than you'd expect, really -- but more than anything, there are priceless slices of life that touch you somewhere deep.
Like the picnic-table news conference last spring when Bonds told the ESPN cameraman to make sure he got his poor son in the picture.
Like the time he told the grand jury his response when trainer Greg Anderson told him to put all these unusual substances in his body was to comply and say, "Whatever."
But a personal favorite happened this past weekend in Los Angeles. Bonds made an out in Friday night's game against the Dodgers, and the camera followed him on the slow walk from first base to the dugout.
If you've watched a Giants game, you've undoubtedly noticed it's no longer a Giants game. It's "Bonds on Bonds" over the course of nine innings, with the camera following the man's every movement and constant reminders of when the man himself will be coming to the plate.
So on this occasion, the camera followed him into the dugout, where he placed his helmet in the rack and started walking down the line to find a place to sit. This is riveting television, of course, like watching someone walk into the office, find a hook for his coat and plop down in the cubicle.
But here's where it gets interesting. Bonds kept walking, past all his teammates. He finally sat at the end of the bench, and the guy nearest him looked like a size 9 head atop a fourth-grade body.
The guy didn't pay any attention to Bonds, then Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow, almost apologetically, informed us that Bonds was sitting next to Rob Schneider, working as a bat boy for the game.
How good is that?
Rob Schneider, all 4-foot-4 of him, sitting there in a bat boy uniform, feet dangling above the floor, trying not to pay attention as Bonds fires several hundred sunflower seeds into and around his mouth as a means of showing his frustration after grounding out.
That's my moment, the moment the surreal met the ridiculous. It's enough to keep you tuning in.
This Week's List
• Despite the much-noted poster on his bedroom wall, apparently he didn't ask the question, "What would Che do?": Adam Morrison is turning pro.
• Just as all of us experts predicted back in March: Albert Pujols has reached a point where he has to hit a home run in four straight at-bats just to keep pace with Chris Shelton.
• And to think, up till now, Knicks fans just thought he was a carrier: Larry Brown is expected to miss the final two games of his team's season with acid reflux.
• All along it was just miscommunication -- Larry wanted him to play for him and he heard it wrong: Stephon Marbury, asked about Brown and the acid reflux, said, "I just spoke to coach, sent him my condolences, let him know that my family and I are praying for him."

ORLANDO -- Florida's chief financial officer is mailing letters to Republicans warning that bullet train proponents may levy the state's first income tax to fund construction of the constitutionally mandated rail network -- a move proponents are calling a misleading scare tactic.
Tom Gallagher's letter is part of a campaign aimed at getting enough signatures to get a measure on the November ballot that would stop construction of the train, which voters approved in a 2000 constitutional amendment.
The petition drive needs the signatures of more than 488,000 registered voters.
The first leg of the proposed rail network, running from Orlando to Tampa, is estimated to cost $2.6 billion. The train would eventually connect Orlando with Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
"Governor (Jeb) Bush and I will do everything in our power to STOP a state income tax from ever being imposed on Florida's citizens," wrote Gallagher, chairman for Derail The Bullet Train (DEBT).
But bullet train supporters say Gallagher's letter is misleading because the state constitution bans the levying of an income tax and that could only be changed by voters -- a highly unlikely possibility.
"This is an outrageous attempt to frighten people about high-speed rail, and to frighten people into signing this petition," bullet train authority member Bill Dunn said Friday. "The governor and the chief financial officer should be ashamed of their disgraceful misrepresentation of the facts."
Gallagher, defending his letter's hypotheticals, said Friday: "We just let people know there are lots of ways to pay for it."
According to the letter, which begins "Dear Fellow Republican," there could also be a raise in the sales tax and document stamp tax for transactions involving stocks, bonds and mortgages, as well as a 5-cent hike in the gas tax.
"And that means we must STOP the bullet train before runaway costs bankrupt our state," Gallagher wrote.
There is no indication who would ask for or approve any new or raised taxes; the letter refers only to "they."
Included in the letter is a short message from Bush, who offers little specifics but warns that if the train is built, "drastic measures such as raising your taxes and cutting vital programs may be needed just to balance the budget."
Last week, Bush issued an e-mail asking voters to sign the petition. He claimed, as does Gallagher, that when the Orlando-Miami route is included in the project the price jumps to $14 billion, and listed possible spending cuts -- such as firing 13,000 teachers and releasing 25,000 prison inmates.
However, the governor did not speculate on funding sources.
The letter ends with a form where people can sign the petition, as well as donate money to DEBT. The letter arrived in mailboxes this week.
Gallagher said on Friday that one of his motivations for halting the bullet train is to make sure transportation projects that are delayed receive funding. In the letter, he wrote the Miami-Orlando-Tampa legs could cost the state $500 million a year; bullet train backers have said the state's annual outlay is closer to $75 million.
Authority member C.C. "Doc" Dockery, who spent $3 million getting bullet trains on the 2000 ballot, said Gallagher's letter showed DEBT's desperation in collecting petition signatures.

I just bought my Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate). My self shot mode is missing from the camera options. How do I get it? What should I do?
The Captivate does not have a front-facing camera, thus no self-shot mode. You'll have to turn it around and try to tap the on-screen button without seeing it to take a picture of yourself (or use a mirror, etc.).

I installed the plugin.
Then set the first default langauge to be En-us.
Trying to set the second language as Chinese (or any other language) causes the scrip to hang ......
The URI now shows the language as ..../lang/en-us/
Cool. Have to fix this.
Otherwise, this could be the AWESOMEST plugin.

I am currently using Add-This Social Media Follow plugin but it is painfull for my website as slow it having a tracker who checks customer's behaviours. So I am looking for a simple plugins to just allow me to share my posts.
I found this which on a certain point of view is better but has some things I would like to see improved.
First the plugins appends the buttons only at the end, but I would like to be shown below each post's title.
Setting page is quite annoying and not user friendly. Tried to do some settings but it is difficult.
Again, this idea is cool but need more improvement. Hope my feedback can help the author. Thanks

Effectiveness of a web-based intervention to encourage carpooling to work: A case study of Wellington, New Zealand
Despite the many advantages of private car travel, excessive use of the private car has many negative consequences, such as congestion and air pollution. There is widespread recognition of the need to limit the demand for private car travel through travel demand management measures, such as information and incentives. This study examines the effectiveness of Let's Carpool, an initiative aimed at increasing vehicle occupancy in the Wellington region of New Zealand, and it examines factors related to solo driving. Let's Carpool uses ride-matching software to facilitate finding a carpool match for the commute to and from work. This evaluation study among nearly 1300 registrants of Let's Carpool shows that the percentage of commuters enrolled in the scheme who carpooled as their main mode of transport for getting to work increased significantly (from 12% to 27%), while the percentage of commuters indicating they drove alone decreased significantly. The frequency of driving alone also decreased significantly. Beliefs about cost, comfort, and convenience were related to solo driving. Based on the findings, recommendations are made to further enhance the effect of carpool initiatives.

a fascinating and compelling intersection of language, lyrics, story, and music on the settling of the Midwestern wilderness
At its heart, Wilderness Plots is a blend of songs and stories inspired by the history of settling the American wilderness in the time between the Revolution and the Civil War. It is a fascinating and compelling intersection of language, lyrics, story, and music that is plain good fun. Five exceptional singer-songwriters, Carrie Newcomer, Tim Grimm, Krista Detor, Tom Roznowski, and Michael White, team together with noted author, Scott Russell Sanders, to create a timeless show.
The Wilderness Plots songs were inspired from a collection of short stories by Scott Russell Sanders in his book of the same title. The music is romantic, tragic, elegiac, and comic, compressing entire lifetimes into a few stanzas. Like the most distinctive American folk songs and folk tales, Wilderness Plots arises from the experience of wrestling with a wild, raucous, dangerous, and glorious continent. You will meet preachers and profiteers, generals and journalists, a hermit and a lawyer, farmers and bone-collectors, lovers, layabouts and other high-spirited characters the kinds of people who, in all ages, have made human history.
Well beyond the scope of a standard concert, Wilderness Plots is both moving and powerful.
This presentation is supported by the Performing Arts Fund, a program of Arts Midwest funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art, with additional contributions from the Illinois Arts Council, General Mills Foundation, and Land O'Lakes Foundation.

2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution ProblemsHVAC Temperature Knob Hard to Turn
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) temperature control knob may be hard to turn. Mitsubishi Motors has released a service bulletin out outlining the necessary repairs. Repairs involve installing a new air blend door lever and link, lubing the blend door track, and installing a filter on top of the blower motor housing to prevent entry of dirt and debris. If the temperature control assembly has been damaged it will require replacement also.
The clutch may fail prematurely requiring replacement. It has been recommended by some that a high quality aftermarket replacement clutch may provide increased longevity over a clutch purchased from the dealer.
The crankshaft position sensor may fail causing a stalling can/or no start condition. Replacing the faulty crankshaft position sensor should correct this condition.

Tea brands make a social, economic and environmental statement by aligning with Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, Non-GMO and other organizations
Despite the advent of tea pods and other competition, traditional tea bag sales are holding their own, aided in part by sustainable-sourcing efforts. Retail tea sales grew 2% last year to $2.15 billion, according to the Tea Association of the USA, New York. While that's not huge growth, it's impressive in light of these recessionary times and new tea evolutions, like ready-to-drink tea, tea drinks at foodservice establishments, and new delivery methods like single-serve pods used to brew ...

I wish we had a celebrity version of this game show here. Like maybe David Hasselhoff's bare ass pressed up against Lisa Rinna's swollen fake lips. For charity of course.
I don't get why this is NSFW. Seems like the kind of crap going on at my office all the time.
what's the big deal? my bf and i play that game in bed all the time.
Holy shit. Between being a huge rice queen and rather oral, I want on that show NOW!
This gives "in your face TV" a whole new meaning! But considering this was Japanese TV, I'm surprised they didn't arrange to have the rim-ee farting at the same time.

Venkat Prabhu is on a roll after the phenomenal success of Mankatha. He has admitted that he has signed up with Studio Green owned by Suriya and Karthi's cousin, Gnanavel Raja. The director is putting the final touches on the script and the project will start rolling soon.
The buzz is that the film will be a bilingual made in Tamil and Telugu. Suriya and Ravi Teja, the telugu superstar will be doing the lead roles. Suriya's films have done good business in Andhra and many of Ravi Teja's films have been successfully remade in Tamil like Dum, Thillalangadi and Siruthai, so it is felt that he will definitely make an impact.

Annually, the 65 members of the maintenance staff sponsor a "Christmas in July" picnic for the 400 summer employees at their company. For these 65 people,
- 21 bring hot dogs,
- 35 bring fried chicken,
- 28 bring salads,
- 32 bring desserts,
- 13 bring hot dogs and fried chicken,
- 10 bring hot dogs and salads,
- 9 bring hot dogs and desserts,
- 12 bring fried chicken and salads,
- 17 bring fried chicken and desserts,
- 14 bring salads and desserts,
- 4 bring hot dogs, fried chicken, and salads,
- 6 bring hot dogs, fried chicken, and desserts,
- 5 bring hot dogs, salads, and desserts,
- 7 bring fried chicken, salads, and desserts, and
- 2 bring all four food items.
Those (of the 65) who do not bring any of these four food items are responsible for setting up and cleaning up for the picnic. How many of the 65 maintenance staff will
(a) help to set up and clean up for the picnic?
(b) bring only hot dogs?
(c) bring exactly one food item?
What I have so far is:
- $c_1=$ Staff members who bring hot dogs
- $c_2=$ Staff members who bring fried chicken
- $c_3=$ Staff members who bring salads
- $c_4=$ Staff members who bring desserts
$$N=65$$ $$N(c_1)=21,\quad N(c_2)=35,\quad N(c_3)=28,\quad N(c_4)=32$$ $$N(c_1c_2)=13,\quad N(c_1c_3)=10,\quad N(c_1c_4)=9,\quad N(c_2c_3)=12,\quad N(c_2c_4)=17,\quad N(c_3c_4)=14$$
Am I on the right track or way off course?

I would really like to have a keyboard that works for the messaging and the browser, hopefully Nintendo will get one out for us.
This has been answered repeatedly, NO IT DOESNT WORK. Yes, it sucks, and I dont know why it doesnt work, but IT DOESNT. Case closed.

Wii Console - 2504-6852-5346-7730
I just got an email on my wii this morning telling me there was an update available to download. After I downloaded it a message popped up that said you are now able to connect usb keyboards to the wii.
Afterwards I googled "wii keyboard" to see if there was such a thing and it led me to this thread. Just figured I'd register real quick and give you guys the heads up. Download the update, enjoy your keyboarding.
Wii 3.1 update
A new Wii firmware update is ready to grab. I am not too sure of the details for the upgrade, other than it is version 3.1. If anyone has a running list of the upgrades, please leave a comment or shoot an email my way. Thanks to everyone that sent in this tip!
Update - details
- USB keyboard compatible
- links received on the Wii message board now open in Internet Channel
- can send links to friends
- can copy text from the page being viewed and paste it into a search
Hi, My Name Is Dru
Check Out My Brothers Band - www.MySpace.com/ThisCalendarYear
It was compatible already.
Or do you mean in opera browser as well??
Tip of the day:
A big mistake a lot of you make is that wiiware games will be free.
Wiiware is just the same like the virtual console. Its different in that it offers new games instead of old console games.
I can think of some easy games ( Like tetris and some other in that direction ) that can be free but the majority will cost money.
With todays update any USB keyboard will work on the Wii.
Yes, you have to redownload the Internet Channel however it will enable USB keyboard support.Originally Posted by cyberzomby
Definitely makes the Internet Channel actually useful, as without it the Internet Channel was good for watching YouTube and the occasional page lookup. Currently using it, and it isn't what I would call "flawless", but better than nothing at all.
"Real Men Wii Standing Up"
This could mean proper communication on games like BWii! Of course a headset it always better, but a keyboard is good none the less.
And I don't have a USB keyboard...

CYPRESS, Texas -- Chiney Ogwumike's friends, family, teammates, teachers and administrators squeezed into the capacity-filled Cypress-Fairbanks High School's Wall of Honor room on Thursday to watch the No. 1 girls' basketball player in the nation sign her national letter of intent.
On the northwest outskirts of Houston -- nestled between big box stores and mom-and-pop barbecue restaurants along U.S. Hwy. 290 -- one of the greatest athletes to pass through the school's hallways made it official.
The Lady Bobcats senior center will take her talents to Stanford University, halfway across the country in Palo Alto, Calif.
But the people who showed up at the signing came from all walks of life to admire Ogwumike's work and celebrate her accomplishments -- not only on the basketball court, where she's led the Lady Bobcats to a Class 5A State Championship, a runner-up finish and a semifinal appearance.
They also came to admire her work in the classroom where she ranks third in her class and serves as the student body president; she has a friendly, outgoing personality that provides words of encouragement to junior-varsity players, junior -high kids and non-athletes alike.
When Ogwumike entered the packed room, she got a rock star's welcome.
Then, the chant came – familiar to anyone who's attended a Cy-Fair High girls' basketball game -- "Hip, Hip, Chiney!"
The room was full of red and white balloons, sandwiches, cupcakes and pizza. Amid the refreshments was a frosted cake with the following lettering: "Stanford Bound Sister Act Is Back!"
For the past two years, many assumed that Ogwumike would follow her sister, Nneka, to Stanford, where she started for the Cardinal on the national runner-up as a freshman last season. Ogwumike made it clear over that time that she was her own person and would make her own decision; Nneka was a senior and Chiney, a sophomore, on the Cy-Fair team that won the state title in 2007. She chose Stanford over defending national champion Connecticut and Notre Dame, making her decision over the weekend.
"She said 'Mom, I cannot see myself playing against my sister in any shape or form,' " said Chiney's mom, Ify Ogwumike, a middle school principal in Cy-Fair ISD. "[She said 'It would be] so unnatural to be helping another team when I could be helping my sister, too.' "
The 17-year-old briefly thanked her friends as well as girls' basketball coach, Ann Roubique, and volleyball coach, Donna Benotti. Ogwumike is the reigning volleyball and girls' basketball MVP in Texas Class 5A-District 15.
Roubique called Ogwumike one of the top three players she's coached in two decades at CFHS, along with Nneka Ogwumike and WNBA player Lindsay Harding.
Ogwumike's senior season started on Wednesday night, with the Lady Bobcats defeating Houston Westside. She'll team with junior point guard Cassie Peoples, who has verbally committed to Texas, in a quest to make a fourth straight trip to the state tournament in Austin.
"It was awesome," Peoples said. "I'm very happy for her. I know she'll do great things. It makes me excited for when I sign."
Ogwumike has two younger sisters -- eighth grader Olivia, and seventh grader, Erica. Both of them play basketball at a nearby middle school and were excited to see their older sisters reunited on one of the nation's most dominant women's basketball programs.
"It'll be like high school all over again -- they'll play together and work together," Olivia said.
Everyone in the chatter-filled room was silent when Ogwumike spoke for a brief moment, thanking everyone for supporting the "most important decision in my life so far."

Wilfredo Lee, Associated Press
MIAMI — Mo Tarafa stood before students at a small, outdoor concrete auditorium at Florida International University and called for volunteers to sit in the 10 chairs before her. Each chair, she said, represented 10 percent of the wealth in the United States and 10 percent of the population.
The students, mostly in their 20s and wearing jeans and T-shirts on a balmy fall Thursday afternoon in Miami, took their places. Then Tarafa asked nine of the students to squeeze together into five of the chairs. This, she said, was the distribution of wealth in 1996.
Next she asked nine students to fit into three of the chairs.
This, she said, is the distribution of wealth today.
"How are you all feeling right now?" she said.
"Uncomfortable," said one of the students piled up on one another.
The exercise was part of a teach-in that took place recently at FIU and dozens of other campuses across the country in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. As the protests have grown to cities across the United States, they've also taken root at the nation's universities, where students have staged rallies and walk-outs from classes. On Thursday, students were among the thousands who took part in protests across the country. They've even set up their own tent cities: At the University of California, Berkeley, where 40 people were arrested in a violent confrontation with police last week, officers removed 20 tents on Thursday. At Harvard University, dozens of students have set up tents in the middle of campus.
The students' concerns: The rising costs of tuition, seemingly insurmountable student debt and weak job prospects — issues unique to them, but which student organizers see as directly connected to the larger issues being raised by the Occupy protests.
"I love my education. I think it was completely valuable; however, I feel I'm not using it on a daily basis," said Natalia Abrams, 31, a recent UCLA graduate who has been helping organize students through Occupy Colleges, a loose coalition of universities across the country. "We didn't go back to school to have $20,000 in debt to work at Starbucks."
Whether the protests mark a rejuvenation of student activism in the United States is yet to be seen, but already some important distinctions are being made from their involvement in politics and society over the last few decades. In the 1960s, students held sit-ins to protest racial segregation and marched against the Vietnam War. But since then, activism on campus has tended to focus on specific issues, like rape awareness, anti-sweatshop campaigns and equality for gays and lesbians, notes Robert Self, a history professor at Brown University.
"There hasn't for a long time been a single issue like the civil rights or the war in Vietnam that brings a whole generation together," Self said.
Students at more than 120 universities have participated in protests so far. They range from students at private and Ivy League colleges, many who come from middle and upper class families, to those who work and attend state or community colleges full-time.
At Harvard, 70 students walked out of an introductory economics class taught by a former Bush adviser to protest what they called the "biased nature" of the class, which they said, "contributes to and symbolizes the increasing economic inequality in America."
Gabriel Bayard, 18, a student who helped organize the walk-out, said the professor, Greg Mankiw, "makes questionable statements and tries to pass them off as fact." He pointed, for example, to the argument that economic equality and efficiency are a zero sum game.
"There's mounting economic evidence that's not the case," Bayard said.

Well, that name is pretty much perfect. That hair's even more perfect, though. That hair is just gorgeous. It's probably even longer than my sister's. Also, I really love your style. It is just fascinating in every angle. <3 I wish I could draw humans, but I do not have the proper motivation and lack the practice

Some New Yorkers weren't sorry to see it go. Anish Kapoor's Sky Mirror, installed last fall on the Fifth Avenue side of Rockefeller Center's promenade, had promised to be a striking presence.
Kapoor first came to public notice in the 1980s with his geometric and biomorphic pieces in stone, pigment, and plaster. In the 1990s he began to explore the notion of the void. His pieces dropped away from you, disappeared into the wall or the floor, seemed both there and not there.
Sky Mirror was another such "non-object," to use Kapoor's term, a sharply tilted, three-story mirror of polished stainless steel with fifteen petal-like panels radiating from a round center. The concave side, facing 30 Rockefeller Plaza, turned the iconic building upside down and, on a sunny day, haloed it with blue sky. (At night, the reflected image seemed to be that of a medieval cathedral.) The convex side, facing Saks Fifth Avenue across the street, reflected awestruck pedestrians, street traffic-and a great deal of pavement.
But it was all just too big and intrusive, and the best place to see it was from a distance. The closer one stood to it, the more overwhelming it became. Indeed, it massively obstructed one of the glories of Rockefeller Center: the simple, elegantly proportioned garden pathway opening down to the plaza, the skating rink, and Paul Manship's Prometheus Fountain at the foot of the immaculate skyscraper....

Cutaneous vasculitis
What is cutaneous vasculitis?
Cutaneous vasculitis is a group of disorders in which there are inflamed blood vessels in the skin. These may include capillaries, venules, arterioles and lymphatics.
- Cutaneous vasculitis has several different causes
- There are a wide variety of clinical presentations.
- It is associated with systemic vasculitis in a minority of patients
In most cases an underlying cause is not found and the disease is self-limiting.
Classification of cutaneous vasculitis
- Progressive pigmented purpura: the most common form of capillaritis
- Itching purpura
- Pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatosis
- Purpura annularis telangiectodes
- Contact allergy
- Lichen aureus
Small vessel vasculitis
- Idiopathic cutaneous small vessel vasculitis
- Drug or infection-induced hypersensitivity vasculitis
- Henoch-Schonlein purpura
- Acute haemorrhagic oedema of infancy
- Urticarial vasculitis
- Exercise-induced vasculitis
- Erythema elevatum diutinum
- Malignant atrophic papulosis
- Cryoglobulinaemia
- ANCA-associated vasculitis
Medium vessel vasculitis
Large vessel vasculitis
- Temporal arteritis
- Takayasu disease
Who gets cutaneous vasculitis?
Cutaneous vasculitis can affect people of all ages and races. Some types of vasculitis have predilection for certain age groups.
- Acute haemorrhagic oedema affects infants
- Henoch Schonlein purpura affects children
- Hypersensitivity vasculitis affects adults
- Older people are more likely to have diseases and medications that are potential causes of small vessel vasculitis
What causes vasculitis?
Many different insults may cause an identical inflammatory response within the blood vessel wall. Three main mechanisms are proposed.
- Direct injury to the vessel wall by bacteria or viruses
- Indirect injury by activation of antibodies
- Indirect injury through activation of complement, a group of proteins in the blood and tissue fluids that attack infection and foreign bodies.
What are the clinical features of vasculitis?
Clinical presentation of cutaneous vasculitis mainly depends on the size of the inflamed blood vessel.
- Capillaritis presents as pigmented purpura, characterised by petechiae resolving with haemosiderin deposition.
- Small vessel vasculitis is characterised by palpable purpura.
- Medium vessel vasculitis is associated with nodules and livedo reticularis.
- Large vessel vasculitis infrequently results in cutaneous features.
Ecchymoses and petechiae
Ulceration (systemic sclerosis)
Lymphocytic vasculitis
Hypersensitivity vasculitis (streptococcal)
Bullous leukocytoclastic vasculitis
More images of cutaneous vasculitis ...
How is cutaneous vasculitis diagnosed?
In many cases the diagnosis of vasculitis can be made on the basis of its appearance without requiring any further tests. Sometimes a skin biopsy is performed to confirm the diagnosis but this rarely explains what caused it, as vasculitis is the common endpoint of many different events.
Screening tests are requested in most cases of vasculitis to identify any underlying cause and to determine the extent of involvement of internal organs.
What is the treatment for vasculitis?
Treatment depends on the severity of the disease and may include general measures, systemic corticosteroids, and immune modulating agents.
If cutaneous vasculitis is a manifestation of systemic vasculitis then treatment of the systemic disorder is required.
What is the outlook for cutaneous vasculitis?
Vasculitis limited to the skin has a good prognosis with most cases resolving within a period of weeks to months. The vasculitis may recur at variable intervals after the initial episode.
The prognosis of systemic vasculitis is dependent upon the severity of involvement of other organs. If vasculitis affects the kidneys, lungs or brain it can be life-threatening.

I started getting into reading design blogs a little while ago, and it seemed that @font-face got really popular sometime late last year, or something like that, because I was under the impression that it was a new emerging feature of the web.
