Auburn's loss to Arkansas was eye-opening to Auburn fans and to any college football observer. It wasn't eye-opening in a good way, either.
There was a smither of blind hope remaining among the Auburn faithful that the 2012 season could still be salvaged after a 1-3 September.
Those hopes fell to the ground faster than one of Wile E. Coyote's boulders he uses to try to squash the elusive road-runner.
Here is Auburn's winner and losers from its revealing performance in Week 6. Yes, we were only able to find one winner.

CES 2015: TP-LINK AV1200 3-Port Gigabit Powerline Adapter
Subject: General Tech, Networking | January 6, 2015 - 07:30 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tp-link, powerline networking, networking, ces 2015, CES
Powerline networks are not the most popular, especially with advancements in wireless technology, but they are still being actively developed. TP-LINK specifically mentions a few use cases: going through cement or certain soundproof walls, going across metal beams and studs, and going further than is practical under FCC broadcast power limits.
Today at CES, TP-LINK has announced the TL-PA8030 AV1200 Gigabit Powerline networking adapter. This product differentiates itself from previous offerings with "HomePlug AV2 MIMO", which is an acronym that is normally applied to wireless technology with multiple antennas. It is basically the same thing in this case, because the adapter uses all three prongs.
Basically, how electrical sockets work is that you have two main prongs, one of which has an alternating voltage applied to it that averages out to about ~115V RMS over a cycle (relative to the other prong). When that wire is connected to a second one, at whatever is considered "neutral" voltage, it creates an electrical current with that drop (or rise) in voltage. A third plug, which is held at the ground's voltage, takes away any excess buildup from friction, wires that are shorted to the case, and so forth.
For this product, this means that one connection will be on the same circuit as a high-voltage, 60Hz signal, and the other will be mixed with ground noise. Keep in mind, the alternative to powerline networking is broadcasting on unregulated, wireless spectrum, so humanity is not afraid to send a signal through some nasty noise. Still, it is good to stop and think about what these engineers have been able to accomplish: broadcasting two signals, down two really nasty (and in different ways) circuits, and combine them for increased performance with multiple devices.
This out of the way, the specifications themselves are brief: it is three Gigabit (1.2 Gbps total) network connections that communicate through A/C plugs. It is backwards compatible with older TP-LINK HomePlug AV adapters (AV1000, AV600, AV500, AV200, and of course other AV1200s).
No pricing information, but TP-LINK is targeting Q3 2015 for this AV1200.

CES 2015: TP-LINK Archer C9 AC1900 Dual Band Router
Subject: General Tech, Networking | January 6, 2015 - 07:30 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tp-link, router, ces 2015, CES, archer, 802.11ac
While yesterday's TP-LINK Archer C2600 and C3200 routers were designed for multiple devices, this one seems a bit more targeted at fewer, but still high-performance connections. The TP-LINK Archer C9 router can operate on one, 5 GHz block and one, 2.4 GHz chunk at the same time (versus the two 5.0 GHz and one 2.4 GHz distribution of the C3200).
A bit more specifications have been released, compared to the C2600 and C3200. A 1GHz, dual-core processor will perform the back-end computation to send the data where it needs to go. It will also have one USB 3.0 port (side) and one USB 2.0 port (rear), which are used to network-attach printers and storage.
The TP-LINK Archer C9 AC1900 dual band router is available now for $169.99 USD.

CES 2015: ioSafe Launches 1515+ Fireproof Waterproof NAS RAID
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2015 - 02:32 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: synology, raid, NAS, iosafe, ces 2015, CES, 1515+
We've reviewed the awesome fireproof and waterproof ioSafe storage products in the past, first in combination with Synology NAS products. Then we later reviewed an ioSafe N2, which was basically a 2-bay Synology NAS *within* an ioSafe fireproof and waterproof enclosure. They didn't stop there, and have since expanded to 5-bay versions of the same. Today ioSafe launched an upgrade to one of those models - the ioSafe 1515+
With 5 bays, the 1515+ is considerably taller than prior models.
Here's what the inside looks like. A sealed waterproof enclosure sits behind a consumable fireproofing material, and inside that enclosure sits five 3.5" HDD's.
The rear is fairly simple, but if you note the quad Gigabit Ethernet, you realize this is actually a NAS powerhouse. When linked to an appropriate business oriented server (Windows Server 2012, ESX Server, etc) with a quad Gigabit link, 450MB/sec can be achieved. Similar read speeds are possible even with the integrated hardware AES-256 encryption enabled, but write speeds will then be limited to just under 200 MB/sec. Additionally, multiple 1515+'s can be chained together to support up to a single 90TB array. I'll leave you with a cool photo of a NAS on fire, followed by the full press blast after the break.

CES 2015: D-Link Powerline Networking Adapters
Subject: General Tech, Networking | January 5, 2015 - 09:33 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: D-Link, CES, ces 2015, powerline networking
Yesterday, D-Link announced two new gigabit-class powerline networking adapters. Powerline networking, which sends a signal between A/C outlets, is for users who want high-bandwidth connections in places that WiFi does not reach and running a cable is out of the question. The SKUs are basically identical, except that the DHP-601AV has a maximum rated bandwidth of 1,000 Mbps, while the DHP-701AV can go up to 2,000 Mbps... sort of.
You see, unless I am completely misreading the specifications, the only way into this device is a single Gigabit Ethernet socket. The technical difference is that the higher-end model can use the ground plug as a network path, presumably balancing between the "two powered" and the "one power, one ground" circuits based on line quality. That is interesting technology that will help in situations where a gigabit link cannot normally be maintained on a two-prong network but, if it is behind a gigabit bottleneck, that is kind-of not right to advertise, isn't it?
Again, I could be wrong, but the specs seem to claim one, single-socket, Gigabit Ethernet plug.
As for pricing and availability, D-Link does not disappoint. The D-Link AV2 PowerLine Starter Kits will be available in Q1 of this year. The DHP-701AV has an MSRP of $129.99 while the DHP-601AV is set at $79.99.

CES 2015: Acer Aspire V 17 Nitro with Intel RealSense 3D
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2015 - 08:46 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Realsense 3D, realsense, notebook, Intel, ces 2015, CES, acer
Intel's "Perceptual Computing" initiative, later branded Intel RealSense 3D, is beginning to be integrated with consumer electronics. For a while now, developers could pick up a Creative Labs-produced SDK with a camera, depth sensor, and dual microphones (in an array) for $99 USD. We will probably hear more about it tomorrow during Intel's CES 2015 Keynote at 7:30pm EST. Hopefully, they will also have some compelling software to go along with it.
This is the previous model. For the new version, see the video below.
But this announcement is from Acer, which will launch a new Aspire V 17 Nitro notebook with a built-in Intel RealSense 3D camera. The company believes that the technology will be used for controlling games, or scanning your face and objects for 3D printing. I'm... not so sure about printing my face, but I could see facial recognition being an interesting feature of upcoming software, even if it is not good enough for secure authentication purposes.
The laptop itself will be built on a Haswell-based Core i7-4710HQ that is paired with a GeForce GTX 860M GPU (4GB GDDR5). It can be configured with up to 16GB of system memory, up to 256GB of SSD space, and up to a 1TB secondary hard drive. As the name suggests, the display is a 17-inch IPS panel, which is apparently not a touch-screen.
The Acer Aspire V 17 Nitro will be available this month, but no pricing information is available. The previous model is still on Acer's website for $1400 USD, without RealSense 3D.

CES 2015: Gigabyte X99-SOC Champion Motherboard Launches
Subject: Motherboards, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2015 - 08:06 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: x99-soc champion, X99, gigabyte, ces 2015, CES
Gigabyte has been catering to extreme overclocking with several recent motherboard releases, the most recent of which is the new X99-SOC Champion. Gigabyte made some interesting decisions for this design that focus on increasing overclocking capability over just about everything else.
First, you'll notice that the board features only 4 DIMM slots over the eight that are found on most other X99 boards. This lowers the amount of electrical noise, increases signal integrity and trace length can be reduced, all in an effort to increase stable memory clock rates. Gigabyte was proud to show off that they were able to reach DDR4 memory speeds of over 4100 MHz using some Corsair memory! SMT mounted DIMM slots also help with this.
The CPU socket is also different in that it has 2083 pins on it rather than the standard 2011 pins that the socket uses. These added pins increase the amount of power available to the processor, which is useful for extreme LN2 overclocking. Interestingly, Gigabyte has put a dip switch on the board that enables and disables those pins should you wish to disable them for safety or other reasons.
Pricing is still up in the air though the Gigabyte X99-SOC Force currently sells for $349 so I would expect the Champion to be above that. Availability starts this month.

Tagged: gigabyte, ces 2015, CES, Broadwell, brix s, brix
Along with the launch of Intel's 5th Generation Core processor, codenamed Broadwell, Gigabyte announced a set of updated Brix and Brix s SFF systems using the new platform. The rest of the hardware remains mostly unchanged and the barebones "build your own" status is maintained. The "s" model supports a 2.5-in hard drive while the base models will support M.2 only.
Gigabyte plans Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 models based on Broadwell and the Core i7 model will include NFC capability on the top of the unit. Pricing and availability to come!

CES 2015: Intel Releases 14 nm Cherry Trail SOC
Subject: Processors | January 5, 2015 - 07:30 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: SoC, low power, Intel, Cherry Trail, cell phones, ces 2015, CES, Bay Trail, 14 nm trigate, tablets
It wouldn't be CES if there wasn't an Intel release. Today they are releasing their latest 14 nm Cherry Trail SOC. Very little information has been released about this part, but it is the follow-up to the fairly successful Bay Trail. That particular part was a second generation 22 nm part that exhibited very good power and performance characteristics for the price. While Bay Trail was not as popular as Intel had hoped for, it did have some impressive design wins in multiple market sectors.
The next generation process technology from Intel will improve power and performance for the Cherry Trail parts as compared to previous products. It will work in both Windows and Android environments. While Cherry Trail is x86, Intel has been working very closely with Google to get Android to work effectively and quickly with a non-ARM based ISA.
Intel is shipping these parts to their partners for integration into phones, tablets, and small form factor computers. We had previously seen Bay Trail parts integrated into low cost motherboards with the J1800 and J1900 SKUs from Intel. We can expect these products to be refreshed with the latest Cherry Trail products that are being released today.
There is very little information being provided by Intel about the nuts and bolts of the Cherry Trail products. Intel promises to release more information once their partners start announcing individual products. We know that these parts will have improved graphics performance and will exist in the same TDPs as previous Bay Trail products. Other than that, feeds and speeds are a big question for this latest generation part.
These products will be integrating Intel's RealSense technology. Password-less security, gestures, and 3D camera recognition are all aspects of this technology. I am sure we will get more information on how this technology leverages the power of the CPU cores and GPU cores in the latest Cherry Trail SOCs.

CES 2015: Gigabyte GTX 980 WaterForce 3-Way SLI Monster Spotted
Subject: Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2015 - 07:15 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: waterforce, GTX 980, gigabyte, ces 2015, CES, 3-way sli
Back in November Gigabyte asked for all your money in exchange for a set of three GeForce GTX 980 cards each running in a circuit of self-contained water cooling. After finally seeing the GTX 980 WaterForce in person I can tell you that it's big, it's expensive and it's damned impressive looking.
With a price tag of $2999, there is a significant mark up over buying just a set of three retail GTX 980 cards, but this design is unique. Each GPU is individually cooled via a 120mm radiator and fan that is mounted inside of a chassis that rests on top of your PC case. On the front you'll find a temperature, fan speed and pump speed indicator along with some knobs and buttons to adjust settings and targets.
Oh, and it ships inside of a suitcase that you can reuse for later travel. Ha! Think we can convince Gigabyte to send us one for testing?

CES 2015: Samsung Releases SSD T1 Portable USB 3.0 SSD
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2015 - 05:00 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: CES, usb 3.0, UASP, T1, SSD T1, ssd, Samsung, ces 2015
Today Samsung announced a new portable SSD - the SSD T1:
These are essentially 850 EVO's in very small portable packaging. They support USB 3.0 speeds as well as UASP, so random IO performance should be very respectable. We have not tested it ourselves, but something on the order of 8,000 4k random IOPS should be achievable.
Claimed speeds are up to 450 MB/sec, likely limited by the 5Gb/sec USB 3.0 interface being used. 256 bit hardware-based AES is also included, with the drive unlockable by the use of a small software app that is embedded on the drive. The included cable is impressively thin considering it is a full USB 3.0 spec cable. The release states the lowest capacity 250GB model will sell for $180. Based on other data we have, the 500GB and 1TB capacities should sell for ~$350 and $650, respectively. We will review the T1 just as soon as we get back from CES later this week.
Press blast after the break.

Ever noticed the beautiful and fancy feathers of a swallow-tailed kite in the blue skies of the Lowcountry? The unmistakable forked tail is a dead giveaway for spotting these black and white raptors. The elanid kite breeds from the Southeastern U.S. to eastern Peru and northern Argentina and while it has yet to make the government's list of endangered or threatened species, it is considered endangered by the state of South Carolina and threatened and rare by other Southern states. Sadly, the destruction of their habitats in woodlands and forested wetlands is the primary factor in their demise. Join director with the Nature Conservancy, Maria Whitehead and research coordinator and educator at the Center for Birds of Prey, Jennifer McCarthy Tyrrell in an informative and timely presentation about what you can do to help. Sewee Visitor & Environmental Education Center, 5821 Hwy. 17 N., Awendaw. Saturday, 3pm. (843)928-3368.

Triangle Chapter, American Wine Society
Serving Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC, and Vicinity
The purpose of the Triangle Chapter of the American Wine Society is to promote the appreciation and responsible enjoyment of wine and to educate its members on all aspects of wine.
We do this primarily through monthly wine tastings (see our schedule) held at members' homes and other locations in the Triangle area of North Carolina, plus occasional trips outside our area.
|General Information
|For Hosts & Presenters
|2016 Officers
There is no fee to join the Triangle Chapter, but membership in the national American Wine Society is required to be a member of our chapter. (But you can try us out for free – read on!).
Any adult who appreciates and would like to learn more about wine is welcome to join us for a few tastings without first joining the national Society. Simply request to be added to our mailing list (link above), and we will welcome you at several tastings before you have any commitment to join the AWS. You will be charged the same fee as members for the tasting (usually $15/person), and we usually ask all attendees to bring a dish and/or wine to share after the tasting. You won't believe how good the food is at our tastings!
If a Triangle AWS chapter MEMBER is unable to drink wine at a given tasting (e.g., temporarily taking medication incompatible with alcohol consumption) but would still like to enjoy the educational and social aspects of the gathering, he/she may be able to attend (space permitting) for a nominal fee, generally $5, to help cover expenses and offset the income that would otherwise be used to purchase wine. No non-drinking discount is available to guests.
Should you wish to join national AWS (required to become a member of the local chapter after trying us out), here are the membership fees (which include several publications and industry discounts):

Here's the proposed new coding scheme release by MMDA.
After receiving negative reactions from the public to the proposed new number coding scheme for vehicles, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) clarified on Thursday, July 11, that the proposal will cover the Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and applicable only to private vehicles.
MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino announced the proposed scheme last Wednesday, July 10. It will be for private vehicles that are "more flexible to go elsewhere."

How to Make Apple Butter
Don't fret about what to do with that bushel of apples you picked at the orchard--once you know how to make apple butter, leftovers won't be a problem. In fact, you might want to go back and pick more. Journey back several hundred years to Colonial America and you'll find that making apple butter was an early form of preserving fruit. The high level of sugar (created by cooking down the apples, as well as the added granulated sugar) gives the mixture a longer shelf life. Apple butter can last in the refrigerator for several weeks. Despite its name, there is no actual butter in the recipe--the name refers to its thick, soft, spreadable consistency similar to that of the dairy product. Allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves are the spices that are generally used in making apple butter. Apple butter makes the perfect spread for toast; it also works well as an ingredient in baked goods or an accompaniment to roast pork.
-Hi, everyone, I'm Judith. We'll today, we are making Apple Butter. That warm comforting butter, which is very, very [unk] and you can put on practically everything. So, what you'll need for this is 12 medium cooking apples peeled and cut into fourths, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, half a cup of apple juice, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, teaspoon of ground old spice, 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves. Alright, so very simple. What you'll need is a slow cooker, my best friend. You just pop all your ingredients in there and let it go. So, let's take our slow cooker out and we'll add in our apples. So, when we put then in the slow cooker, we really don't need to cut them too much, but they're gonna soften up in here anyway, fantastic, and all of our ingredients go in here, so brown sugar, the juice, there we go and all these lovely flavorful spices that that go after wonderfully with apples, the all spice and nutmeg, the cinnamon just really fantastic flavors with the apples. So, in there goes, and we're gonna put that on a low heat and we're gonna let it cook up in there for about 8 hours. So, once it's nice and very tender, then we'll get mushing. Well, the kitchen is smelling very, very good right now. We have this mixture of apples and cinnamon and all those all spices that just combine great with the apples. Now, we've left it on a low heat for about 8 hours and the apples are nice and soft now. So, let me tilt do that a little so you can see and it should be nice and beautiful soft and really because color as well. So, with the potato masher or fork, we're just going to mush up our apples little bit more. It should be nice and soft until all our mixture resembles like an apple sauce. So, we're gonna cook our apples for another hour on a lot heat with the cover up until the mixture is really thick and then we'll transfer into container and into the fridge. So, we've cooked our apple butter for about another. We stirred occasionally while it's cooking on low and that is ready. It's beautiful. It's thick. It smells fabulous. Put that. Spread that on some toast and you're good to go. What we're gonna do is put it into a container or a bowl as we have here and we're gonna refrigerate that. The can refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. So, just seal it tightly and you can use it whenever you like. That just smells gorgeous. Fantastic, so there you go. That is how you make apple butter.
What You'll Need
- 12 medium Granny Smith or other cooking apples, peeled and cut into fourths
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Step By Step
Mix all ingredients in 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until apples are very tender.
Mash apples with potato masher or large fork.
Cook uncovered on low heat setting 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until mixture is very thick. Cool about 2 hours.
Spoon apple butter into container. Cover and store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(29)
Earlier this week Patch 1.2.0 was launched for StarCraft 2 players, introducing a slew of tweaks for each race, as well as an extreme graphics setting, the new Master's League rank for the highest tier of players, and of course, chat rooms. While all of these new features and additions are interesting, it's the chat room implications that we really wanted to get into. Chat rooms offer ways for new players to meet, new ways to form clans, and new ways to set up tournaments. So what is our verdict on the new chat rooms? Read on to find out, and check out the full patch notes on Blizzard's StarCraft 2 patch notes site.
When Bnet 2.0 was launched with SC 2, a lot of people were a bit shocked that it didn't include chat rooms. Frank Pearce, Blizzard's VP of Product Development, even said back in May that there were no plans to implement chat rooms, as the match making service basically did the job of a looking for match chat room. But looking for match chat rooms weren't the only things players wanted, and wasn't the only chat room released this week.
Nine predetermined "public" chat channels are now available to players. They include:
- Looking For Team
- Looking For Custom Game
- Terran Strategy
- Zerg Strategy
- Protoss Strategy
- Single Player Discussion
- Achievements
- eSports
- General Chat
I'm not going to go through the details behind each of these channels, as they're very self explanatory. However, I do want to mention a few really fantastic implications that come with these chat rooms. If you join the Looking For Team chat channel for example, you're met with up to 100 players seeking out either a partner or opponent for a game, but that's not all. People also are recruiting for clans in this channel, as well as setting up tournaments strictly for bragging rights.
Pros of Chat Rooms
Sure all of this was possible before chat rooms came along, but now it's so much easier and faster than having to go on a forum to do it. Clans haven't really been around in StarCraft 2 yet, but the emergence of them is finally coming. Clans will be able to join their own chat rooms and talk about strategy, recruit new players, and hang out with one another.
Not only are clans advertising for people to join their chat rooms, but official eSports teams like Evil Geniuses are doing it as well. On their Facebook page, EG said, "Whenever you happen to be on the US Battle.net Server in StarCraft II be sure to drop by our new chat channel "Team EG" (without the quotes) and interact with your favorite players from Team EG." This is a great way for fans to be able to interact with the members of the team, and maybe even some of the administrators of the teams as well.
Players are also making their own chat rooms for their fans. Pro StarCraft 2 player Kevin "ROOT.qxc" Riley, mentioned on his Facebook page that he'd like his fans to come and chat with him in his chat room "qxc". Kevin loves his fans and constantly chats with them via an outside chat room while he streams. Now he (and other pros) can just chat with them in game which might be easier and more fun.
Cons of Chat Rooms
Aside from the predetermined chat rooms listed above, players can also create or join up to six private channels (only one of the public channels listed above can be open at a time). The name "private channel" is very misleading however, as there is no way to password protect your channel. This option will most likely be added in another patch, but as of right now, if someone knows the name to your channel then all they have to do is type it in to join. There's no way to kick them out, either.
Which leads me to my next gripe: the auto-join feature. Let's say when you come online you auto-join the G4TV chat room and it has 99 people in it. You get into the channel, go straight into a game, and then go offline. The way the chat rooms work right now is that even people in a game or even offline still take up a slot. Since chat rooms have 100 players max, another player would now be unable to join the G4TV chat room as it would be full. It's frustrating to other players who want to join the chat room that people who are offline aren't kicked from the room. It makes sense that if they're in a game they can still be in the chat though, as there's the option for players to show chat channel messages while in-game.
Chat rooms are a fantastic implementation, but as they are right now, the design is a bit flawed. Having a 100 player maximum in chat rooms really limits communities who want all their members to be able to talk to one another in a mIRC-esque environment. Removing the limit would get rid of the offline members taking up slots problem as well, and is just one way to fix that problem.
But overall, the chat rooms are pretty great. They've already lead to the formation of some clans, and my friends have been participating in mini tournaments they've found via chat rooms ever since the patch was released. Blizzard listened to its player base by implementing the chat rooms in the first place, and will most likely listen to suggestions in order to improve them over the coming months.
What do you think about the new chat rooms? Have you joined a clan or talked to your friends via private chat rooms yet? Let us know!

Hairstyles of The Roaring TwentiesPosted on November 3rd, 2009 No comments
Long-legged ladies in short flapper dresses. Coy, graceful pageboys, slightly turned in at the ends to accentuate the face. Daring bobs, cut close to the cheekbones. The twenties brought about a revolution for women's styles – from hair to clothes to makeup, women dared to chop off their virgin locks and paint their lips red.
The women of the twenties can be credited with the bob haircut, a cut that is a favorite for many women still today. Back then, a woman chopping off her long hair was a sign of rebellion and many picked the bob haircut as their weapon of choice against the old-fashioned rules. In fact, some angry fathers and husbands would tell their women to go to their room "until it grows out". A blunt haircut that could have ranged in length from as high as the cheekbones to as low as the chin, women wore their bobs straight and slicked down with product for maximum shine. Some more adventurous girls added bangs, either straight across the forehead or swept to one side, which helped to accentuate the dark makeup worn around the eyes that was popular in that time.
The pageboy haircut, one of the variations of the bob haircut, was cut in a similar way, blunt and straight, but worn with its ends curled inwards toward the face. The look was more feminine and demure than the classic bob. It too could be as short as the cheekbones or more chin-length and worn either with or without bangs. The lovely Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue magazine, and epitome of classy fashion has been sporting the pageboy bob for decades, amidst the changing styles of clothes and makeup.
The bob haircut was a hit in the twenties and there's enough reason to say that it's still a hit today. It's no surprise as the bob haircut is easy to maintain, easy to style, and universally flatters pretty much every hair texture and face shape. With slight modifications, you can take the style from work to play and the talented stylists today can help take your bob haircut from the classic shape to a more modern "you" version.

Inversion therapy has provided relief to thousands of back pain patients all over the world. This therapy is completely noninvasive and drug free. All you need is an inversion table, clear space and a few minutes every day. The equipment needed is easily available in the market and can be installed by you at home. The inversion table works by hanging you upside down and allowing the force of gravity to decompress your spine. Once the spine is decompressed, the space between them increases, elongating the vertebral column and making you look taller. Besides improving the posture, it improves blood circulation, treats fatigues and provides relief from back pain. It can be used by beginners, athletes and people of all ages.
Since you would be hanging upside down, there are several factors that should be taken into consideration like your height and weight. If you made a spur of the moment purchase, you will come to regret it later. It is advisable to do a bit of reading about this matter before you start looking for an inversion table. The market is swamped with a number of inversion therapy tables, some of them offering wild and extravagant benefits to the user. It is important to understand what an inversion table can and cannot do to save you from being conned.
Some of The Factors That Could Affect Your Purchase Decision When Buying Inversion Table:
What is the Best Inversion Table to Buy? That is a very good and reasonable question for all people who want to own a good inversion table. Let's take a look at the important considerations in this Inversion Table Buying Guide prepared by me.
The saying "what you pay, is what you get", holds very true for inversion tables. The cheaper inversion tables are made from tubular fittings, unlike their costlier counterparts that use only the best material available. A good indication of quality is the weight of the inversion table. Cheaper inversion tables will be lighter, which will make them easier to move, but at the cost of safety.
Weight & Height
Choose carefully, if you are on the heavier side or taller than average. Most inversion tables have user weight and height limitations. Read the instruction manual well before buying the inversion table. If you do not make the correct choice, you will be endangering your life and limb. For example, if your weight is 300lbs and you are using an inversion table with a user weight limitation of 275lbs, you will be putting pressure on the equipment, which may collapse, causing serious injury. Similarly, do not use the machine if you are taller than the recommended height.
Certifications are very useful to separate the wheat from the chaff. The UL (Underwriters Laboratories) is the highest certification in this field. UL is an independent, not for profit agency and their certifications are considered to be a reliable indicator of the equipment. When it comes to inversion tables, look for UL 2601-1 and UL 1647 certifications.
You will need space to use this equipment. Inversion tables can be tilted at any angle. Ideally, there should be sufficient space for the equipment to move freely. Your height is a good indicator. The space around the machine should be "your height + 2 feet". The flooring should also be adequate. If the floor is not level and hard, the machine may start rocking and throw you off balance when you are exercising on it. For the same reason, it is important to use the machine on a dry surface.
There should be no compromises when it comes to safety. You will be upside down during the duration of the exercise, and your head will bear the full impact of the fall if you slip. The frame should be strong enough to bear the full brunt of your weight. The strap holding on to your ankle should be strong enough to bear the weight of your entire body when you are upside down.
Since you will be upside down, you could certainly use some comfort. Foam handle bars, padded backrest, and 5-8 inch gravity boots increases the comfort level substantially while you lie on the inversion table. You should be in a relaxed state of mind while you are using this table because stress will invariably lead to muscle cramps. Some inversion therapy tables even allow you to lie upside down while the masseur works on your back. Comfort is essential, but you have to remember that you will be using this equipment for a few minutes at the most.
Manufacturer's Reputation
There are a number of companies offering inversion therapy tables in the market. It is important to distinguish companies that provide reliable product from those who are here to make a quick buck. A company that has several years of marketing inversion therapy equipment will be better positioned to offer quality products compared to a newbie with no experience in this field. Since it is your head that is on the line, it would be great if you'd go for a manufacturer that knows what they are doing.
Ideally a reputable company should offer a five-years warranty on the inversion table. If the product is durable, it will probably last longer than the five years on the warranty. If the parts are made from high quality material, it will not be susceptible to wear and tear. Cheaper products, made from low quality material, will not even last a year.
Inversion therapy equipment is subjected to a lot of wear and tear during its lifetime. This makes it susceptible to damages. You may need spare parts and replacements from your supplier. Consumer support is the only way you can contact your supplier. If your supplier has a good customer support in place, you will get replacements in no time; otherwise you will have to wait for many days, while your equipment gathers dust.
Bottom Line
Inversion therapy is a reliable and affordable way to get relief from back pain. It provides other benefits like improved blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, increased flexibility and mobility. Buying the right inversion table is very important because your safety is on the line. While buying choose with care, and buy the inversion table that is safe and reliable!

Hi! I'm new here and just happened upon this site while googling Days. I just was reading where a lot of you guys are saying Philip's character should be around 30 and disagree. My Grandmother, Mom, and sisters (they're 12 and 14 years older than me) watched Days as long as I can remember and I used to HATE it growing up. I started watching it in high school and Philip, Chloe, Mimi, Shawn, and Belle were in high school also and I always thought it was cool that I had a group to relate to on the show. I graduated in 2003 and I think their "class" had graduated the year before so that'd be them about a year older. I recently turned 24 so how could Philip be almost 30?

Medical schools are expanding in size and number to meet the demand for primary care providers.1 Simultaneously, many nursing schools are opening doctor of nursing practice programs,2 and pharmacy schools are changing their training models to prepare graduates for changing roles in health care.3 Also, primary care is receiving increasing attention, and with it, models for offering team-led, value-driven care. These circumstances make clear that the U.S. health care system needs to (1) foster interprofessional collaboration, (2) promote the value of primary care, and (3) have health professionals in training learn from those in practice. In response to these needs, we suggest that universities offer preparation, training, and continuing education for multiple health care disciplines through the following single, unifying, educational activity:
On the first day of graduate school (e.g., medical, nursing, pharmacy), the university brings together the new students of its graduate health professions programs with others in training and in practice. Like a continuity clinic, such an event recurs throughout training and continues into practice.
The university offers its graduates a lifetime of free, continuing professional development (CPD) and credits. Each student becomes part of a special community of providers linked to the university. The purpose of the CPD activity—continued as a core theme—is to show students how essential CPD is to high-value patient care, even before one masters the basic and clinical sciences.
The centerpiece of the program is a grand-rounds-like activity (offered regularly in protected time) that is an evidence-based, multifaceted educational experience. On the basis of need, the university would offer complementary options to the core activity (e.g., performance improvement projects).
Long before making a specialty choice, students will see that they can successfully practice primary care, as the program activity exposes students to role models and to success stories in primary care. Because the program is interprofessional, students and other participants will necessarily become comfortable with team care and related interventions, such as workflow redesign. Also, through rigorous evaluation leading to publications, presentations, and grant proposals, the activity would present a great way to research CPD in an interprofessional context.
Given an interprofessional audience at different levels of competence, the activity would be challenging to implement; however, we believe this is the best way to prepare students for careers in primary care.

Although, obviously, he has played more golf this year heading into The Masters than a year ago (0 tournaments last year), he still has not played much compared to the rest of the field. This fact will not be one of the 10 reasons he could possibly win this week. It will certainly not help him.
But, there are reasons for Tiger fans to be a little optimistic. Although, I do stress the words "a little."
Here are 10 reasons which could contribute to Tiger winning green jacket number five and, more importantly for him perhaps, a golf tournament. Any golf tournament.

College basketball's national championship tournament is the most exciting event in collegiate competition. Its fan base and following are unmatched, and the buildup to and through the tournament are unlike anything in athletics.
And at this time of year, basketball fans are envisioning the NCAA tournament's past, full of memories of buzzer-beaters, break-aways and the bracket busters.
The following is a list of 68 reasons why our culture craves March Madness.
It's complete with stats, facts, players, teams, ideas and a lot of general information about the NCAA tournament, making this your one-stop resource for all you would ever need (or maybe even want) to know about it.
A lot has changed just since last year's tournament, so to make sure you have all the information, make sure you read through to the end, not to mention the argument ammunition that you'll have over your idiot friends and know-it-all co-workers messin' up your office pool.
Unfortunately, the only bad thing about the Big Dance is that it's only once a year, in March. At least this year the tournament format is a little bit larger than before.
We, as fans, will not complain about that.

An action-packed week in the Supreme Court lies ahead. The main event is probably the hearing in MJELR v. Tobin. Most readers know the story. Ciaran Tobin lost control of his car while driving in Hungary and killed a two-year-old and a five-year-old. He left Hungary before he was charged with criminal negligence. He did not return to Hungary for the trial; the Hungarian courts found him guilty and have sentenced him to a prison term. Mr Tobin avoided extradition once, after the Supreme Court found that he had not "fled" Hungary–he had simply left (judgment here). But the Oireachtas has since amended the European Arrest Warrant Act 2003 to remove the "fleeing" requirement, with retroactive effect. The government again seeks extradition to Hungary. This time around, the High Court has ordered Mr Tobin's surrender (here). The Court has scheduled two days of argument: Tuesday and Wednesday.
There are two other hearings this week. On Monday, three judges will hear the appeal in McDaid v. Carty, a personal injuries case. And on Thursday, the Court will consider FBD Insurances v. Connors. It's an action to set aside an arbitrator's award on procedural unfairness grounds. The arbitrator refused the insurance company's request for an adjournment, so the insurance company walked out. The arbitrator decided to go ahead with the arbitration and found in favour of the policy-holders. The High Court, in a judgment available here, granted the insurance company's request to set aside the award. The effect of the High Court's decision is to overrule an adjournment decision by an arbitrator on the ground that it was unreasonable. At first glance, that's a highly questionable result.
The Court will deliver also judgments in two cases. [UPDATE: The Court will also deliver judgment in Harris Assemblers v. DPP , a prosecutorial delay case; High Court judgment available here, my preview here.] One is in Caffrey v. Governor of Portlaoise Prison. When Caffrey was initially set for hearing in March of last year, I wrote this preview:
Mr. Caffrey seeks a writ of habeas corpus ordering his immediate release. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by an English court for murder. In England, the trial judge sets the minimum term or "tariff" for a prisoner shortly after the life sentence is imposed. In Mr. Caffrey's case, the English trial judge set his tariff at twelve years. At his request, he was later transferred to Ireland to serve out his sentence. He claims that, now his twelve years are up, he must automatically be released. The theory is [that] detention beyond the twelve-year tariff could only be based on the need to incapacitate him, and in Irish law incapacitation is officially an improper purpose for imprisonment. In the High Court, Charleton J. rejected the claim, concluding essentially that the initial sentence was life imprisonment, and that the life sentence was based on legitimate deterrent and rehabilitative goals.
On Thursday, in Shirley v. AO Gorman, the Court will rule on a landlord's challenge to the constitutionality of section 7 of the Landlord and Tenant Act, 1984. That provision provides the pricing mechanism under a statutory right for tenants to buy out their landlords' interests. The Supreme Court's decision will arrive six years after the High Court ruling (available here; Judge Peart rejected the claim in a lengthy and interesting judgment).
As usual, I will post links to the new judgments when they're available.

The Interior Design Show may be over for another year but a couple of spillover shows arranged as part of the Toronto International Design Festival continue: Capacity at Bookhou (798 Dundas Street West) runs until Februrary 6, and just down the block, Made at Home (876 Dundas Street West, upstairs) continues until Feb. 12.
In Capacity — curated by artists Katherine Morley (left) and Erin McCutcheon — 10 designers consider the meaning and concept of capacity. All of the works in the show happen to be by women, a fact Morley didn't intend to focus on but "as it turns out, it's really hard not to talk about," she told me as she guided me through the show.
"Women are really well represented in the areas of art and craft but in design we have some catching up to do."
Much of Morley's work is based in graphic design; for Capacity she wrote, designed and self-published a limited-edition children's book called Hanna, about a little chick who grows too big; complimenting the book is a set of porcelain egg cups and a display case fashioned from a reclaimed telephone pole called the Dreamweaver Shelf.
McCutcheon's piece, above, feels more like art than design, at least that's my impression. Called Lodestar, the work is a mobile composed of survival kit lodestars and a series of small model airplanes positioned so that they can be viewed through the signal mirrors. Each lodestar is inscribed with a quote from Ernest Shackleton to underscore McCutcheon's theme of humankind's capacity for survival.
I don't have room here to detail every work in the show but two of the artists, Nathalie Nahas, above left (Now I Know My ABCs about a child's capacity to learn), and Ayla Newhouse (The Universe Will Not be Typeset) were good enough to pose for me so I have to include them. Newhouse is seen on fellow designer Michelle Ivankovic's Maker Sofa, composed of velvet-covered exercise balls with brass buttons. Other particularly photogenic works include Kristen White's Aster* Bowls and Nest (1:2:3:4), below.
Across the street, above MADE, Canadian design champions Shaun Moore and Julie Nicholson have turned an upstairs apartment, below, into a design showcase furnished with new work by local designers including Morley, Brothers Dressler, Bev Hisey, Dylan McKinnon, Propellor Design, Orest Tatryn and many others. The spaces feel very much like the hipster hangout you'd expect to find on this stretch of up-and-coming Dundas Street West.
For the past three years Moore and Nicholson have sponsored the incredible expanding Radiant Dark design exhibition and this year they decided to scale things back and "refresh" the concept. Made At Home is open for viewing from 12 – 6 pm daily.

Seeing Jazz: Artists and Writers on Jazz
Published by Chronicle Books in association with the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service, this handsomely printed (in China) collection is visually appealing. For the most part, the artists are painters and photographers, and the writers musicians and such literati as Toni Morrison, Jean Rhys, James Baldwin, Albert Murray, Julio Cortazar, Ralph Ellison, F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Edgar Wideman. There are a foreword by Clark Terry, an afterword by Milt Hinton (some of his good pictures, too), and introductory text throughout by Robert O'Meally. The main material is rather arbitrarily divided into three sections entitled "Rhythm," "Improvisation" and "Call and Response."
Readers of this magazine will probably find the best "writing" to be that of the musicians themselves, particularly that of Bechet, Basie and Billy Taylor, the last of whom gives an honest account of meeting Jelly Roll Morton. Many of the main authors tend to be mannered, just as the paintings seem to be more artsy than relevant. But then the book's title refers to how these people saw jazz and employed it in a metaphorical sense. The abstract paintings, for example, are emotional expressions promoted presumably by experience of the music and colored in a fashion the artist customarily favored. In this way they may be seen as personal as improvised solos, but there is often a flamboyance that would seem overly exaggerated in jazz, corny, or even commercially motivated. What is finally illustrated is the impact of jazz on other arts with other disciplines. But catching the joy as it flies, almost a prerequisite of jazz improvisation, is not similarly possible with pen or brush. Stuart Davis used to listen to Earl Hines records as he worked, and it was he who recommended Romare Bearden to do the same. If you look at their pictures on pages 49 and 52, you will see very different responses, but neither of them is dazzled or patronizing as some of the other painting gentlemen are.
Some of the novelists obviously enjoyed jazz and made effective use of it, but they very rarely swing. Gordon Parks comes closest in a tribute to Johnny Hodges and "Edward" (Ellington, that is) opposite a cute Herman Leonard photograph of Rabbit in Paris.
On top of all the fat, coffee table books of jazz photographs, this collection suggests that many lovers of the music are now turning to pictorial representations of it. The significance of this is considerable, especially since they can seldom have visualized it in the terms of the artists and writers encountered here. They will not, however, fail to note that everyone is in step except the sousaphone player at the New Orleans funeral on page 23.

After fighting hard with the Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics were hit with one too many punches.
Game 5 would spell the end for the Celtics, as LeBron James would score 10 points in a 16-0 run by the Heat in the final four minutes of the 97-87 win.
An 87-81 advantage would gradually be torn away at by a talented, determined Miami Heat squad. With James and his Miami Heat moving on to the Eastern Conference Finals to face the winner of the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls match-up.
As Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett enter their final years of their contracts, President of Basketball operations Danny Ainge and the Boston Celtics front office will likely make a move to make another run at an NBA championship.
Join B/R and myself in ranking the top 10 free agent forwards that the Boston Celtics could potentially sign this offseason in hopes to help the Big Three another shot at an NBA championship.

Purpose of review: To summarize recent findings that have examined dietary, genetic and gene–diet interactions that contribute to fat accumulation in the liver during growth and development, with particular focus on contributions relating to dietary carbohydrate and sugar consumption. In addition, this review highlights how some of these contributions to liver fat vary across the population in terms of ethnic-specific effects.
Recent findings: Dietary carbohydrate, and especially sugars contribute to increased liver fat accumulation due to the lipogenic potential of fructose during liver metabolism. In addition, recent genome-wide studies have identified several polymorphisms that contribute to increased liver fat accumulation, with some of these genes relating to dietary carbohydrate and sugar consumption. In particular, the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) gene, which is highly prevalent in Hispanics, contributes to excessive liver fat beginning at a young age, especially in the context of high sugar consumption.
Summary: Dietary sugar contributes to liver fat accumulation, with this being explained by de-novo lipogenesis from fructose in the liver. Certain genetic factors, including PNPLA3, glucokinase regulatory protein and APOC3 contribute to increased liver fat accumulation, with these effects being manifested at an early age. Hispanics in particular are at elevated risk for liver fat accumulation because of the higher frequency of genetic variants such as PNPLA3 and glucokinase regulatory protein as well as an interaction between the PNPLA3 and dietary sugar.

Professor of theology Terence Nichols, noted as a ecumenical bridge builder, was laid to rest Wednesday morning in a Mass of Christian Burial at the Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas. The longtime theology professor died Saturday of cancer.
Nichols, 73, was diagnosed with cancer in early 2013, but he continued to teach and even lecture the days after he received chemotherapy treatments. He travelled to Turkey during spring break.
He studied at Harvard University in the 1960s, and he completed his bachelor's degree at the University of Minnesota in 1967. Nichols returned to school at Marquette University in 1982 and received his doctorate in 1988.
Nichols began teaching at St. Thomas in 1988 as an assistant professor. He was promoted to associate professor in 1997 and became a professor in 2003. Nichols also served as chair of the theology department from 2002 until 2006 and as a co-director of the Muslim-Christian Dialogue Center, with theology professor Adil Ozdemir.
In his homily to about 250 family, friends, St. Thomas faculty, staff and students, the Rev. Erich Rutten said Nichols was a restless man. He always wanted to do more to tie together different religions, Rutten said.
"Terry was a talented and heartfelt bridge builder. He was a man of the beatitudes," Rutten said.
Theology professor Steven McMichael, a friend and colleague of Nichols, said Nichols was extremely passionate about the Muslim-Christian Dialogue Center, which opened in 2007.
"He was pretty much the visionary of this, and he's the one that kind of stuck through it all, so we have the center," McMichael said. "A lot of my favorite memories of him were actually in those meetings, talking, dreaming and brainstorming stuff about that … about the center."
Nichols also wrote three books: "Death and Afterlife: A Theological Introduction," "The Sacred Cosmos: Christian Faith and the Challenge of Naturalism" and "That All May Be One: Hierarchy and Participation in the Church."
"It's not often that one has the opportunity to preach at a man's funeral who literally wrote the book on death and the afterlife," Rutten said in his homily.
McMichael said what he appreciated most about Nichols was his energy.
"He was a person who was in his early 70s but had the energy, I think, of a 16-year-old," McMichael said. "We used to call him the Tornadic One because you entered into his energy field. He kind of swept you up."
McMichael said one of his favorite memories of Nichols is of Nichols coming into his office to give him a gift and getting sidetracked.
"He had this gift in his hand, but he kept talking about something else, and he was just so wrapped up into it," McMichael said. "When he left, he goes, 'Oh, by the way, here's this. I forgot it.' It's almost like he tossed it to me."
Junior Corey Stephan, who took a class with Nichols last semester, said Nichols cared about every student.
"He really loved each one of his students, and he made that clear every single day," Stephan said. "When he found out that he had to resume chemotherapy, he insisted on coming into the classroom and lecturing the day after almost every single one of his chemo sessions, delivering a lecture that was at once more lucid and elucidating than most people can deliver while they're healthy."
Senior Mary Clare Eisinger, who was Nichols' advisee and student, said he was her favorite professor.
"He really helped me figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life," Eisinger said. "He was an extremely passionate teacher, and although he was very intellectual, he always found a way to reach every single student."
McMichael said Nichols' passing is a loss for the whole university.
"You just saw him all the time. He was just like this presence," McMichael said. "It's a big hole."
Bishop Lee Piche and president Julie Sullivan were also in attendance at the funeral.
