GPS program w/o a service plan? Is it possible to use a Blackberry 8310 as a hand held GPS unit with a downloaded program without a service plan? I have access to several Blackberry's but do not want to put a service plan on them. Thanks! |
To my knowledge no. |
Check the GPS and Maps section. There is a sticky at the top that details all of the better known map applications. With no data plan, you are much better off getting a stand alone GPS device, rather than trying to use one on your phone. Most map applications download data and maps as you move and that cannot be stored on the device itself. There are a couple that can be downloaded and you can purchase a Garmin version, but again, given the costs, go buy a stand alone unit. |
Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry Curve 8320) I don't have a data plan and I can use Goggle Maps in my Bold |
Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry Curve 8320) I have a prepaid plan, and when I've checked my credit the BB is eating all my money I've bought a package of 50MB yesterday and today I have 32 available, next week I will change to an unlimited data plan |
You can try using a WIFI connection on some of the new Blackberries to access the maps. |
i tried maps with wifi at home and my BB couldn't load the maps... even on the wifi, with out data plans it won't work. |

I believe that every author taking indie publishing seriously needs one or more editors. The biggest criticism we face is the so called 'lack of quality' issue, which is easily combated by professional editing. With new technology giving everyone the opportunity to become an author, guest writer Matt Gartland examines why having an editor is more important today than ever before.
"I think every writer should have tattooed backwards on his forehead, like ambulance on ambulances, the words 'everybody needs an editor." – Michael Crichton
Indie authors need a serious competitive advantage to earn respect and win readers' hearts and minds. Without one, the odds of tilting the indie author playing field in their favor to attract eyeballs, establish credibility and gain loyal readers are impossibly stacked against them.
So what's a smart indie author to do?
Change the game and improve the odds by teaming up with a professional editor. Why?
Because the role of editor is undergoing a metamorphosis just as the role of author. They're companions living in the same new book economy ecosystem alive with common causes and ideals. And when you consider a professional indie editor's complementary skill sets and points of view, the net competitive advantage they offer indie authors is plain to see.
Let's break down how valuable an editor can be to an indie author.
1. Overcome the amateur stigma.
Indie authors have earned an amateurish reputation. The deluge of underdeveloped books rushed into the marketplace fuels this stereotype. As Seth Godin puts it, "When you make it such that anyone can publish a book, which is where we are now, then anyone will publish a book. Which means that the vast majority of books are going to be junk."
While true for many, this stereotype need not be true for you. Recruiting a professional editor onto your team is a surefire way to escape this stigma.
But it's not automatic. You'll have to work hard. That's the point.
Collaborating with an editor showcases how serious you take your work. Serious work always yields serious results. You'll benefit from constructive critiques. You'll be challenged to write smarter and re-write better. A good editor pushes you on all fronts: your book's nature and structure as well as your writing style.
Here's the big secret: being indie and professional aren't mutually exclusive qualities. You can be both. In fact, given current trends, you need to be both if you're playing to surpass the competition, earn respect, and win readers' hearts and minds.
2. Gain confidence in your book and self.
Self-doubt is the deadliest threat to an author's work and well being. It decays your confidence, which causes chaos within your manuscript and mind. That leads to any number of unfortunate outcomes including lazy books casually published, incoherent messages that don't stick or spread, or promising books that wither and die on the vine.
Good editors inoculate you from such anarchy.
They leverage honesty to validate and build upon your good ideas. They employ toughness to mercilessly nuke your bad ideas before they metastasize like the cancerous cells that they are. They help anchor your book's premise and orient its direction, steering you in a controlled fashion toward a more considered, professional horizon.
Mind you, professional editors aren't woo-woo cheerleaders; first and foremost, they are stalwart sidekicks that see your potential and push you to unleash it. Legendary editor Robert Gottlieb puts it thus: "A good editor responses to the strengths and needs of the writer. Sometimes, if the writer is particularly strong, that's just offering encouragement."
3. Protect your blindside.
Blindsides. We all have them and fear them. And for good reason. Left unguarded, blind spots spawn blemishes, gaffes, mistakes and other agents of chaos.
In writing/storytelling terms, we're talking about open loops that don't close, unbalanced character development, monotone voice, imprecise language, embarrassing grammar mistakes, awkward transitions, stiff messages, and insufferable detail.
Such blindsides are often invisible to writers as they're too close to their writing to see them. Worse, they're prone to apply equal weight to all their writing, believing that every word, phrase, and paragraph is of equal importance.
Good editors serve as strong defenders and reality checks against these insidious forces.
Through skilled line and copy editing, they transform ugly manuscripts fat on modifiers into striking stories fit with decisive language. And through developmental editing, they, as Gottlieb says, "get inside the text and instinctively understand the terms and the vocabulary of the writer, and make changes in those terms and that vocabulary."
Porter Anderson puts it more bluntly: "People who chafe and complain about good editing are too shortsighted (or too naïve) to understand that what is changed or cut out is never missed by the reader. … As soon as I got hold of that idea – that the missing is not missed – I'd learned to love good editors."
4. Prosper from competitive intelligence.
A new breed of editor is emerging in the new book economy. Driven to understand innovative technologies, publishing strategies, marketing concepts, and distribution channels, this new editor is more than an editor – he's an editor/producer hybrid.
This advanced form of editor researches and analyzes self-publishing trends like a detective investigating a case. He talks with accomplished authors, self-published and traditional both, as well as literary agents, book designers, publishing mavens, new media theorists and other thought-leaders in the publishing revolution.
Allying with such an editor provides you with a wealth of industry intelligence that many other indie authors may not have access to. From crowdfunding books to profitable book launch know-how, this knowledge is ultra-advantageous to the indie author seeking to wisely navigate the new book economy.
You should self-identify with this hybrid nature and value its usefulness. As an smart indie author, you wear the hats of writer, marketer, publisher, and more. Teaming up with others that are multi-talented and specialized will only further slant the playing field in your favor.
5. Enjoy shared prosperity.
Gottlieb once said about editing, "My impulse to make things good, and to make good things better, is almost ungovernable. I suppose it's lucky I found a wholesome outlet for it."
Great professional editors share this sentiment down to their core. As such, your motivations are their motivations. Your readers are their readers. Your success is their success. Your dream is their dream, namely to produce the best book possible, no exceptions.
This ethos transcends book genre, format, even publishing model. Gottlieb, for one, was an editor with traditional publishers. However, I sense that this spirit is coming alive in new and amazing ways in the throws of the publishing revolution.
Now, independent editors co-creating directly with authors have more reason than ever to share intentions. That yields stronger, closer relationships and fuels greater shared prosperity. Such editors don't have traditional publishing employers to fall back on or use as excuses. They're on the front lines with you. That's a very good thing for you.
What's your advantage?
Professional editors aren't the only competitive advantage available to indie authors. But they're a top choice by many of the most talented and successful, Joanna included. She recently said "If you get a pro editor, and take their advice, your book will improve beyond anything you could imagine."
Ultimately, you must choose how best to compete in our highly competitive new book economy. For what it's worth, Seth Godin offers this advice: "Pay for an eidtor editor. Not just to fix the typos, but to actually make your ramblings into something that people will choose to read."

The Lovat Green Tweed is a versatile day wear jacket. The design creates a very contemporary style with a formal feel.
Made from 100% wool, the high quality jacket comes with brown imitation staghorn buttons, crail cuffs, knotted epaulettes, single button front and 5 button waistcoat. The jacket should remain unfastened so that the buttons of the waistcoat can be seen.
The kilt, which is made in Scotland, is made from 8 yards of 100% worsted wool. The kilt is fully hand-stitched except for the pleating, which is machine stitched. There are 3 sizing straps, 2 around the waist and 1 around the hips for better shaping round the body which adds to the 'swing' of the pleats. There are 2 belts loops at the back of the kilt and 2 hanging loops.
Please note that some tartans have additional charges due to their cloth costing more to produce.
Also included in this package are durable leather brogues with long laces, lovat green kilt hose, tartan flashes, replica sgian dubh, kilt pin and black semi dress sporran.
If you would like to upgrade any of the package accessories, please contact us.
Our fully handmade kilts can be 're-made' in the future which means the kilt can stay in your family for generations. 'Re-making' allows us to open the kilt back up into 8 yards of material and completely re-size it to fit another set of measurements. An extremely worthwhile investment.
If you are placing an order online, we will contact you to discuss the measurements and make sure your sizes are perfect. To measure yourself, here is our measurement guide.
Unsure which tartan to go for? Order a Tartan Sample.
Interest Free Credit Available - In Store Purchase Only
If you have any questions about the outfit or can't find what you're looking for, please contact us.
Thanks for all your help when buying this. The samples were very helpful. We love the outfit and cant wait to start wearing it. Will recommend. Thanks again.
Waist Take a firm (not tight) measurement at the navel. This is normally 2 inches higher than your hip bone.
Chest Size Take a loose measurement under the arms and over the shoulder blades.
Height The most important measurement! Ensure this is correct.
Kilt Length Measure from the top of the hip bone to the middle of the knee cap. You will need someone to help you take this measurement.
Sett Pattern - This is the most common way to have your kilt made. This is where the tartan on the front mirrors the tartan on the back.
Line Pattern - This is more of a military style where if there is a prominent line in the tartan this is seen down every pleat on the back of the kilt.

"Not a book, but an interview"
Although I anticipated huge revelations regarding the sphynx and the pyramids, what actually appears is a podcast interview of the couple, who giggle stupidly at nothing, and tell very little of the book. The interview lasts approx 45 minutes, wherafter a second podcast is screened and someone totally unrelated to the title or Robert Temple et al is interviewed. If this was a disappointment, then that would be the understatement of the year. Sorry, not worth it.

I made drop brackets on my 72 to clear 33's but I didn't get the geometry quite right, and I never got it aligned. It rode and drove like shit, but it definitely could have been done better. I used some 1/4" wall rectangular tube that fit in the original bracket, and used angle iron to brace it back to the crossmember. I don't know what can be done about the tie rod/ drag links though. prolly have to build your own. I lifted mine 3" and reused the stock shocks even though they were shot.

Missing the point there Ray Charles.... There won't be a thread like that because that is not what this site is for. Find a classic Ford site or a Ford specialty site, not an OFF ROAD, ROCK CRAWLING site.... |

Calling the front axle I beam may cause confusion with folks who only know twin I beam. It's really a straight axle and can be lifted by simply rearcing your leafs. Depending on the lift you want, you may need a drop pitman arm to keep the steering geometry good.
Lot's of two wheel drives in the desert racing forum and if that's okay, why get all butthurt over this guys simple question??

Fixed for accuracy
I was going to be a dick to you but decided to try and be helpful. I figured you were new here and didn't know how things go. So don't start shit here with some of the senior members because you WILL be forced to chug bleach. Since it is an antique just leave it the way it is! Every one respects an unaltered vintage truck. EDIT: Bronc- The 2wd pre runner types are cool, they go fast through the desert, they are custom engineered to handle some hardcore shit. A 2wd lifted for looks that will never see dirt is ghey.

UK intelligence agency GCHQ has launched a code-cracking competition to help attract new talent.
The challenge has also been "seeded" to social media sites, blogs and forums.
A spokesman said the campaign aimed to raise the profile of GCHQ to an audience that would otherwise be difficult to reach.
"The target audience for this particular campaign is one that may not typically be attracted to traditional advertising methods and may be unaware that GCHQ is recruiting for these kinds of roles," the spokesman said.
"Their skills may be ideally suited to our work and yet they may not understand how they could apply them to a working environment, particularly one where they have the opportunity to contribute so much."
The competition began in secret on 3 November and will continue until 12 December.

We have some interesting news for those of you still in possession of an iPhone 3G handset, as one website has claimed that they have successfully ported Android 2.2 Froyo to the handset.
As reported from Phandroid, the website responsible for this is iPhodroid and was performed using the Ultrasn0w unlock method with OpeniBoot.
At the moment, the website has not provided any detailed information on how they did it, or released a tutorial guide for others to follow. Instead they have just posted an image of Froyo running on the iPhone 3G, so we'll let you draw your own conclusions to that.
If the port does work smoothly, you have to say that it is a kick in the teeth for Android users still stuck on 2.1 Eclair. Check out the image below and let us know your thoughts on this.

For as long as there have been birch trees in New England, Native Americans have recognized the special uses to which the bark of this tree could be put. Native Americans of the Northeastern Forests made wide use of the outer bark of white (or paper) birch for canoe construction and wigwam coverings. Long before the arrival of Europeans and even before the development of ceramic vessels 3000 years ago, bark containers were used to collect, store, cook and consume food or other products. Birch bark was also used to make hunting and fishing gear; musical instruments, decorative fans, and even children's sleds and other toys. Birch bark designs were also used in beadwork. Although few Native Americans in southern New England still make these items from birch bark, more recent decorative arts, such as splint basket decoration, draw upon many patterns developed in birch bark.
Removing the bark from a live birch threatens the health of that tree. If the dark inner bark of the birch tree is damaged this can kill the tree. Harming a tree only for pieces of its bark is not advised. Fortunately because of the remarkable preservative properties of birch bark, it is possible to use the bark from dead or fallen trees to make containers and other items.
There are several types of birch trees and the best type of bark for items from canoes to containers is the paper birch, sometimes called white birch. Do not confuse this bark with that of the gray or wire birch which is often referred to as white birch but is not as suitable for craft work. The bark from the sweet or black birch is rough and completely unsuitable for craft work but is the source of wintergreen, and from which Native Americans brewed a tea high in vitamin C.
Although the bark from fallen trees may be gathered at any time, the best time for gathering live birch bark was spring up until the month of June. This bark is the thickest, retaining the dark brown inner bark which formed from flowing sap in winter. In this season the bark will recoil easily from the tree and almost peels itself. To peel bark sheets from the tree, a vertical slit is made down the trunk. For smaller projects, sections about two feet long can be peeled from around the trunk by prying up using your hands between the dark bark on the interior of the birch sheets and the hard inner wood of the tree.
To store bark for later use, lay out the sheets and gently press them flat. Put weights on top of the bark sheets to prevent them from curling up, as birch has a tendency to do on its own. Fresh bark can be worked without special preparation. If stored bark or bark from fallen trees is used, the bark should be heated by soaking in warm water, or by steaming over a fire. Heat warm the sap retained in birch bark even after several months in storage and will render even old bark pliable and flexible to be cut and bent. If the bark is very thick, several layers of white paper may be peeled away to make the remaining sheet easier to cut or fold.
Paper patterns are ideal to practice with. To assure a symmetrical pattern and to practice the folding methods, cut a pattern from heavy paper and "stitch" the item with a modern stapler. Paper patterns can be made larger or smaller, scaled to fit the available piece of bark.
To ensure straight, even folds, it may be necessary to score along the fold with a dulled point that creases but does not cut the bark on the inside of the container.
Holes for stitching or lacing may be made by piercing the layers of bark with an awl or large needle with a triangular point. Holes made along seams where bark overlaps may be temporarily held in place using small wooden pegs or splinters of wood. Clothes pins and large paper clips are also useful in holding rims in place as they are stitched.
Seam stitching and rim wrapping are accomplished using lacing. Modern lacing may be heavy waxed nylon thread strung through a needle. Using natural material available to Native Americans, lacing would be made of basswood or dogbane cord, of thin strips of inner cedar bark, or from stripped pieces of black spruce roots. Natural lacing should be soaked in warm water before use to make it more flexible.
Stitching together seams:
Rims for containers are not only decorative, but also add reinforcement to an otherwise brittle area on birch bark vessels. Rims may be solid wood like white cedar, split spruce root, or basketry splints. Rims may also be made using a skinny bundle of plant material like sweetgrass. Rims are attached to a vessel by wrapping lacing around the rim material through evenly spaced holes pierced in the bark at the mouth of a vessel. Holes can be patched with a warmed mixture of white pine pitch and charcoal.
Wrapping the reinforced rim:

Speeding Treatments to End Paediatric TB
Developing child-friendly TB medicines for kids
In December 2012, the UNITAID Executive Board committed up to US$ 16.7 million to the Global Alliance for TB Drug development (TB Alliance) to support the development and production of appropriate paediatric TB medicine formulations.
Since 2007, UNITAID had been addressing paediatric TB through a market intervention with the Global Drug Facility of the Stop TB partnership. UNITAID investments enabled price reductions of up to 30% for key child TB formulations. However, in 2010, the WHO changed its guidelines for treating children with TB, recommending higher dosages. Since the dosages had changed as per revised WHO recommendations, more PK and formulation studies were needed for regulatory approvals. Manufacturers were reluctant to enter the market. As a result there were no quality assured medicines for the 500,000 new cases of paediatric TB annually. Infants and young children are at increased risk of suffering from severe forms of TB that can leave them incapacitated, deaf, paralysed or mentally disabled. TB spreads in close quarters, affecting whole families.
Many children are never diagnosed and the WHO was only able to provide the first official estimate of paediatric TB deaths in 2012: 64,000 in 2011. Public health experts agree that the actual number of child deaths is likely to be significantly higher. Nevertheless, the small number of cases means there is no market incentive for manufacturers to make adapted formulations.
Project Objectives:
The STEP TB Project proposes to provide improved access to correctly dosed, properly formulated, affordable, high quality TB medicines for children. Accordingly, it is planned that appropriately dosed, child-friendly formulations for HRZ, HR and E would be brought to market by the end of 2015, by at least 3 manufacturers (Many more manufactures were not deemed necessary as Paediatric TB market is a very small market and having too many manufacturers would fragment this small market and lead to loss of market synergies).
Project Outputs and Activities
The Project outputs are focused on activities that: 1) undertake market studies to understand the size and scope of the paediatric TB market, 2) undertake clinical studies, 3) do regulatory needs assessment related to paediatric TB drugs, 4) engage manufacturers and negotiate with them to bring the required drugs to market, 5) engage with countries to promote in-country uptake of recommended formulations, 6) engage with donors to ensure sustainability of the supply, and 7) disseminate lessons learnt.
In the first year of implementation TB Alliance and partners conducted a Global Consultation on Childhood TB estimation. Work on modelling to estimate potential market size was developed. Some of the market size estimation studies undertaken so far are as follows: Literature review of Paediatric TB treatment, Review of Paediatric drug formulation acceptability, Qualitative survey of non-NTP facilities, Rapid assessment of policy and practice, review of sales from existing manufacturers, procurement and consumption study in high TB burden countries, etc. TB Alliance also entered into negotiations with manufacturing partners. Four agreements with manufacturers have been finalised either to bring drugs to market or to develop a paediatric investigation plan (in the case of new drugs).
Currently consultations with regulators have started. Country engagement for Paediatric Plan development has made progress in a number of WHO regions with regional meetings being held. TB Alliance is also entering into an agreement with a new implementer for enhanced country engagement. A Paediatric Portal was launched on TB Alliance's webpages at the link: www.tballiance.org/children

Valentine EventsLovin' Every Minute of ItA Trio of Alternative Valentine's Day CelebrationsDreading the yearly barrage of weenie Hallmark sentiments? Concerned about the pit of romantic loathing welling up in your intestines? Feeling like your skin is covered in a mucous-like layer of treacle? Have no fear, dear Alibi readers. Innovative romantics around Albuquerque have devised several clever alternatives to the clichéd red roses and chocolate Valentine tradition of yesteryear. The Downtown Contemporary Arts Center (105 Fourth Street SW) gets a jump on the Valentine action with its special Valentine exhibit, opening on Friday, Feb. 11, from 5 to 9 p.m. The show features love-themed art by a range of local artists, including Philip Orozco, Stephanie Lerma, Caroline Fischer Siegfried and many others. Godiva will provide chocolate delectables at the opening. The show runs through March 18. 242-1983. On Valentine's Day proper, bring your sweetie over to Bookworks (4022 Rio Grande NW) or come by your lonesome to listen to a series of local authors read some filthy smut masquerading as erotic literature. The event is appropriately titled Juicy Bits and will feature sexy passages read by the likes of Demetria Martinez, Kate Horsley, V.B. Price, David Stuart and others. This popular yearly reading will take place on Monday, Feb. 14, at 7 p.m. 344-8139. Finally, one of the more inventive Albuquerque Valentine's Day events will be Love Soldier 2 over at SolArts (712 Central SE). The original event occurred over at the Guild Cinema a couple years ago. Basically, it was a variety show centering on the theme of love. This second edition will occur at SolArts' comfortable new theater located just west of I-25 on Central. Kristen Loree will play some original love songs on her guitar. Janette Isaacson will play some love song covers on her ukulele. Annie Giannini will read a few of Shakespeare's immortal sonnets. One of the highlights of the evening will undoubtedly be the screening of several vintage sex education films that the organizers of Love Soldier somehow managed to procure from the Albuquerque Public School system. They probably won't be very erotic, but if you pay attention at least you might learn something. Another highlight will be a safe-sex kissing booth. One of the organizers explained this to me, but I still don't really get it. (All you really need to know is that you won't be getting herpes.) "Love Soldiers," says Loree, "has grown out of our need for love to be the reason that things happen in this world instead of greed and all those other horrible things." Sounds good to me. The event takes place on Monday, Feb. 14, at 8 p.m. $7 singles, $10 couples. 244-0049.

MMQ with Peter King
8. I think these are the best nuggets from the enlightening America's Game 2009 New Orleans Saints show, airing on NFL Network Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT:
a. Never knew Sean Payton, a strike-team quarterback for the 1987 Bears, threw an interception on his last NFL pass -- and it was a Saint who intercepted it. b. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams showed his players nature videos of animals pouncing on their prey and devouring their victims ... to get them in the mood for the way he wanted them to attack quarterbacks. c. When kicker Garrett Hartley missed a game-winning 37-yard field goal against Tampa Bay in Week 15, he came to the sidelines with a hangdog look. Peyton barked at him: "Let's go! Get that look off your face! Have some nuts!'' d. Second half, NFC Championship Game, Payton on the sidelines, to no one in particular about Brett Favre: "This guy's going to make a mistake now, I promise you.'' e. I still can't believe Hank Baskett blew the catch on the Super Bowl onside kick to start the second half. You'll see a great view of it on the show -- and you'll be amazed that a wide receiver on the front of the kickoff-return team, clearly there because of his hands, lets the ball bounce off him and right into a pigpile of Saints. That's a vastly underrated part of the Super Bowl story. If Baskett recovers the simple bouncer at the Saints' 45, Peyton Manning takes the ball on a short field, and if he drives the Colts to a touchdown instead of Drew Brees driving the Saints to a touchdown, the game could have been changed in a huge way. But with 25 minutes left in the game, instead of Indy being up 17-6, the Colts trailed 13-10. Baskett gets off far too easy for his error. f. On the Peyton Manning interception that Tracy Porter intercepted and ran back for a game-icing touchdown, NFL Films has a good iso camera on Reggie Wayne. Three points. First: Poor throw by Manning, obviously, to a spot where he thought the receiver could be just beginning his cut, because Porter stepped into the hole and made an easy catch. Second: Great anticipation by Porter made that play happen. Clearly he knew Wayne almost certainly would be running an incut route on the play, and he anticipated it brilliantly. Third: I don't see Wayne on an iso camera running routes often, but this one was rounded and lazy and not run with the speed that could have had Wayne cutting off Porter. All in all, I'd credit Porter for a great football play, but I'd also criticize Wayne for his route and, to a lesser degree, Manning for making a throw that Porter saw coming a hundred miles away. 9. I think, speaking of strategy and the Saints, it's significant that Darren Sharper starts the season on the PUP list. As I wrote in my Sports Illustrated pro football preview essay on spread offenses and how defenses are trying to trump them this week, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams used Sharper as his blitzing missile in the NFC title game. Williams sent Sharper through the "A'' gap (the gap between center and guard) four times. Twice Sharper nailed Favre cleanly, once so hard he left Favre badly bruised. The interesting part of the story, to me, is how Williams debriefed Sharper when he arrived in free agency and found out the Vikings wouldn't go back and watch every game to determine where the blitzes came from early in the season, and thus didn't expect Sharper to come through the A gap. I wonder if the Vikings will go back farther than eight games to study where Williams might send the pressure from this Thursday. The Vikes should. much more here including his video picks... Saints NFC South Champs again | |

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks dived on Wednesday — the worst day of the year for the Dow Jones Industrial Average — as anxiety about the "fiscal cliff" and Europe's economic troubles hammered sentiment.
President Barack Obama defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Tuesday's presidential election and secured a second term. In congressional elections, Republicans maintained control of the House of Representatives, while Democrats retained control of the Senate.
With the election over, Wall Street turned to pondering the more than $600 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to take effect in January should Congress fail to reach a deficit-cutting deal.
"The fiscal cliff is now the base-case scenario," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC.
"Today with Obama being re-elected, people are saying 'wait a second, this is a real possibility,'" said Greenhaus.
After dipping under 13,000 for the first time since Sept. 4, the Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 312.95 points, or 2.4%, to end at 12,932.73. The Dow last closed under 13,000 on Aug. 2.
In 2008, the Dow fell 5.1% the day after Obama was elected to the White House, after rising 3.3% on Election Day.
An analysis of the market's reaction to all presidential elections since 1900 found the Dow's day-after reaction to be an unreliable if not misleading indicator about the market's direction for the next four years. Read: Interpreting the market's day-after reaction.
On Wednesday, Bank of America Corp. and J.P. Morgan & Co. led losses for the Dow, which extended to all 30 of its components.
"It's hard to say with the Dow down 300 points that there is no panic selling," but the relatively muted reaction by the VIX, or the Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index , signaled the market's steep decline could be short-lived, said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab & Co.
Dropping under the psychologically significant 1,400 level, the S&P 500 index lost 33.86 points, or 2.4%, to 1,394.53. The finish below the support line sends a bearish technical signal, Frederick said.
Coal producers were also hard hit, with Peabody Energy Corp. down 9.6% and Consol Energy Inc. sliding 6.1%. Read commentary piece: Coal stocks shudder at Obama's victory.
"Some of the weakest shares out there are in coal; that I would relate to the election," said Frederick of investors who bought coal-related shares in betting on a Romney win.
That said, given the behavior of U.S. stock-index futures in the hours ahead of Wall Street's open, Frederick believes the market's descent came largely in reaction to Europe, as it coincided with "negative comments about Germany's GDP" by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi.
"Germany has so far been largely insulated from some of the difficulties elsewhere in the euro area. But the latest data suggest that these developments are now starting to affect the German economy," Draghi said in Frankfurt.
And in Brussels, the European Commission said the euro-zone economy will expand only 0.1% in 2013, down from a May projection of 1%.
In Greece on Wednesday, the coalition government of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is looking for parliamentary approval of austerity measures needed for the nation to get its next round of rescue funds.
The Nasdaq Composite shed 74.64 points, or 2.5%, to 2,937.29.
For every stock rising five fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where 878 million shares traded. Composite volume neared 4.3 billion.
The U.S. dollar rose against other currencies, including the euro.
On Tuesday, equities surged as Wall Street looked to the end of the uncertainty that came with the U.S. presidential election.

new internationalist
issue 216 - February 1991
The political structures may change but the rhythm of life in the
countryside goes on much as it has for thousands of years.
Even in the cities - for cycle-rickshaw drivers in Hanoi or
young cigarette sellers in Huê - the Communist hostility to petty
commerce is already beginning to seem like an historical interlude.
Travelling back to Saigon one day we hit an army roadblock. They are arresting people who have bought goods in Thailand and are now smuggling them through Cambodia into Vietnam on their motor scooters. It seems like the proverbial sledgehammer to crack a nut until I am told that the day before, in a similar operation, two police were shot dead. The people arrested all seem like pretty small fry with a few hundred cigarette packs each; and they don't seem unduly perturbed by their plight, as the photo taken surreptitiously from my car shows. It appears there are some limits to Vietnam's new enthusiasm for free enterprise.
This feature was published in the February 1991 issue of New Internationalist. To read more, buy this issue or subscribe.

9 Tips for Aging Well
Oct 12, 2015 05:50AM, Published by Family Features, Categories: Family Features, Family Features Lifestyle
(Family Features) Although you can't stop time, the right type and amount of physical activity can help stave off many age-related health problems.
More than half (59 percent) of Americans expect to still be living at home independently at the age of 80, according to a recent survey by the American Physical Therapy Association. However, the same study showed that at least half of the same population recognizes they will see a decline in strength and flexibility as they age.
Movement experts such as physical therapists can help aging individuals overcome pain, gain and maintain movement, and preserve independence – often helping to avoid the need for surgery or long-term use of prescription drugs.
These nine tips, provided by the experts at the American Physical Therapy Association, are keys to helping you age well:
- Chronic pain doesn't have to be the boss of you. Each year 116 million Americans experience chronic pain from arthritis or other conditions. Proper exercise, mobility, and pain management techniques can ease pain, improving your overall quality of life.
- You can get better and stronger at any age. Research shows that an appropriate exercise program can improve your muscle strength and flexibility as you age. Progressive resistance training, where muscles are exercised against resistance that gets more difficult as strength improves, has been shown to help prevent frailty.
- You may not need surgery or drugs for your low back pain. Low back pain is often over-treated with surgery and drugs despite a wealth of scientific evidence demonstrating that physical therapy can be an effective alternative with less risk.
- You can lower your risk of diabetes with exercise. One in four Americans over the age of 60 has diabetes. Obesity and physical inactivity can put you at risk for this disease, but a regular, appropriate physical activity routine is one of the best ways to prevent and manage type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
- Exercise can help you avoid falls and keep your independence. More than half of adults over 65 report problems with movement, including walking 1/4 mile, stooping, and standing. Exercise can improve movement and balance and reduce your risk of falls.
- Your bones want you to exercise. Osteoporosis, or weak bones, affects more than half of Americans over the age of 54. Exercises that keep you on your feet, like walking, jogging or dancing, and exercises using resistance such as weight lifting, can improve bone strength or reduce bone loss.
- Your heart wants you to exercise. Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. One of the top ways of preventing it and other cardiovascular diseases is exercise. Research shows that if you already have heart disease, appropriate exercise can improve your health.
- Your brain wants you to exercise. People who are physically active, even later in life, are less likely to develop memory problems or Alzheimer's disease, a condition which affects more than 40 percent of people over the age of 85.
- You don't have to live with bladder leakage. More than 13 million women and men in the United States have bladder leakage. A physical therapist can help you avoid spending years relying on pads or rushing to the bathroom.

Here, for example, you can watch a few different players all load into a single area, as well as some combat:You'll note that nobody is using VATs. For now, that's been turned off in the mod, which makes sense—it sounds difficult to make a mechanic like that work against other players. Pipboys may still be used, but instead of pausing the game, it will turn you invincible and immobilize you, so that other players can't harm you. Other details remain in full, however—note, for example, how players can pickpocket each other.It gets better than that...or worse, depending on your definition. Over on Reddit, Mr. Mouse, one of the developers, notes that the game is set up so that players can affect each other's questlines:AdvertisementThe way it works currently is that quests are clientside, they still take place in the world but one player in a location will synchronise entities/NPCs to other players around them. This means that if you entered an area where a quest NPC should be, and someone has previously killed them in the cell (whilst someone is currently in it with you), then you will fail the quest on entry.It sounds like the makings for some DayZ type hijinks, only in Fallout—which sounds exciting to me.The entire thing is still running off Gamebryo, but Mr. Mouse notes that the engine has been exploited to "produce a working multiplayer environment." It's rough at the moment, but hopefully they can polish it up some more.AdvertisementSponsoredRight now, New Vegas: Multiplayer is looking for volunteers for a gameplay test in a couple of weeks, and you can sign up for that here.Reply87 repliesLeave a reply

2012 THUD Appropriation Bill and C&Rs
It looks like things have worked out well for us with this year's "minibus" appropriations bill that was just signed into law.
Tops on my list is that it denies funding for any arbitrary decision restricting the import of otherwise qualified C&R firearms. That would be the Korean M1 decision by the State Department. Another is a prohibition on the use of funds to change the definition of a curio or relic. That goes hand in hand with the above. There are several other important restrictions on federal power and prohibitions of federal actions that are, I think, good for the entire firearms community. Here's a summary from the NRA: http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Fe...d.aspx?id=7180
Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is... he's hard to stop - Gus McCrae |

Course Objectives
Mission and Vision
The significance of middle management's role of supporting the mission and vision of the department can't be understated. It is critical that each employee be reminded what we get paid to do.

Tefnut, Goddess of Moisture and the Moon, and Dryness and the Sun
by Caroline SeawrightNovember 26, 2001
Updated: December 6, 2012
Tefnut (Tefenet, Tefnet) was the lunar goddess of moisture, humidity and water who was also a solar goddess connected with the sun and dryness (more specifically, to the absence of moisture). She was the daughter of the creator god, mother of the twin sky and the earth deities (Nut and Geb), she was the 'Eye of Ra', and she was also a creative force known as the 'Tongue of Ptah'. Her name itself is related to water - tf is the root of the words for 'spit' and 'moist'. Her name translates to something like 'She of Moisture'.
Related to moisture, she was also linked to the moon, as were other deities of moisture and wetness. She was originally thought to be the Lunar Eye of Ra and thus linked to the night sky as well as to dew, rain and mist.
As with other water deities, she took on some form of a goddess of creation. As the 'Tongue of Ptah', she was one of the gods in Mennefer (Hikuptah, Memphis) who helped Ptah - that city's main god - with creation by carrying out his will. Yet in the cities of Iunu (On, Heliopolis) and Waset (Thebes) she was more of a female form of her husband-brother Shu, whose main task was to start the sexual, creative cycle and give birth to Shu's children.
Atem is he who masturbated in Iunu. He took his phallus in his grasp that he might create orgasm by means of it, and so were born the twins Shu and Tefnut.
Tefnut and Shu - god of dry air - were the children of Atem (a form of the sun god Ra), who in turn created the twins Nut and Geb. Originally, though, rather than being paired with Shu, she had been paired with a god called Tefen. Other than his name, little is known about this Tefen. It seems, though, that he and Tefnut were linked together in connection with the goddess Ma'at:
Tefen and Tefnut have weighed Unas and Ma'at goddesses have hearkened, and Shu hath borne witness.
During the Old Kingdom, she was connected with both water and the pharaoh. According to George Hart (2012) in The Routledge Dictionary Of Egyptian Gods And Goddesses, Tefnut helped in the creation of the pharaoh's residence in the Delta, and she constructed a pool for him there. The Pyramid Texts (2065) also mention her in relationship to the ruler:
Behold N., his feet shall be kissed by the pure waters, which come into being through Atem, which the phallus of Shu makes, which the vulva of Tefnut brings into being. They have come to thee, they have brought to thee the pure waters which issue from their father; they purify thee, they fumigate thee, N., with incense.
During the Middle Kingdom Tefnut became connected to Ma'at, and as such this goddess is sometimes seen assisting Shu in his task of holding Nut above Geb. More often he is alone in the task.
O Amen-Ra, the gods have gone forth from thee. What flowed forth from thee became Shu, and that which was emitted by thee became Tefnut ... thou was the Lion-God of the twin Lion Gods.
One story says that Shu and Tefnut went to explore the waters of Nun. After some time, Ra believed that they were lost, and sent the his Eye out into the chaos to find them. When his children were returned to him, Ra wept, and his tears were believed to have turned into the first humans.
Not only was the sun god her father, but she also took on the aspect of the sun - no longer the moon - as the 'Eye of Ra', the 'Lady of the Flame' and the 'Uraeus on the Head of all the Gods':
Tefnut was thought to have been the upset goddess who fled into Nubia, taking all of her water and moisture with her. Egypt soon dried, and the land was in chaos while in Nubia, Tefnut turned herself into a lioness and went on a killing spree in her anger at her father, from whom she had fled. Eventually Ra decided that he missed her, and wanted her back. Ra sent Thoth and Shu to get her, and they found her in Begum. Thoth began at once to try and persuade her to return to Egypt. In the end Tefnut (with Shu and Thoth leading her) made a triumphant entry back into Egypt, accompanied by a host of Nubian musicians, dancers and baboons. She went from city to city, bringing back moisture and water (the inundation), amid great rejoicing, until finally she was reunited with her father, and restored to her rightful position as his Eye.
This story also explains how the goddess of moisture could also be the goddess of dryness, heat and the negative aspects of the sun. The people believed that without her water, Egypt could dry and burn in the sun. So she took on the form of a lion - as did the other goddesses with the 'Eye of Ra' title - and was also strongly linked to the sun.
As the 'Eye of Ra' she was also linked to Bast, Sekhmet, Hathor, Isis, Wadjet and Nekhbet. This story is very similar to another tale of the 'Eye of Ra', where Sekhmet slaughters mankind before getting drunk, returning to heaven and turning into the sweet goddess Hathor. The story also links Tefnut with the war goddess, Mehit, and Shu with the war god, Anhur.
At Iunet (Dendera) there was a portion of the city named after her - "The House of Tefnut" . She was worshipped in connection with the Ennead at Iunu, and in her lion form at Nay-ta-hut (Leontopolis).
Despite Akenaten's distaste for the gods of Egypt, he and Nefertiti used Tefnut and Shu for political purposes. They depicted themselves as the twin gods in an apparent attempt to elevate their status to that of being a living god and goddess, the son and daughter of the creator, on earth. As Assmann and Hornung point out, Akenaten was not a monotheist. Despite raising the Aten above all other gods, and attempting to quash the worship of some other deities, Akenaten did not drop all links with other deities. Ra, Shu, Tefnut, Thoth, Ptah and Hathor were still prominent gods in Akenaten's religion.
However, with Atenism's emphasis upon Akhenaten and Nefertiti as Shu and Tefnut, and thus as the divine children of the Aten, a "true" monotheism is not present... Ra, Shu, Tefnut, Thoth, Ptah, Hathor, and several other deities figure prominently in texts of Atenism, and the King and Queen, in particular, identified themselves with the deities Shu and Tefnut, respectively. Amen was targeted by the main prophet of the cult, the king, likely _not_ in Year 6 of the reign (as has been traditionally proposed), but more likely in the very _late_ years of the reign (possibly as late as years 16-17), dues to the somewhat limited damage to names and figures of Amen/Mut/Khons, the erasure of the word "gods," and the personification of 'ma'at' on existent monuments....
Tefnut was both the Left (moon) and the Right (sun) Eyes of Ra, representing both heavenly sources of light that the ancient Egyptians saw, and thus she was a goddess of both the sun and dryness, and the moon and moisture. She was one of the original deities - one of the Ennead - in the various versions of creation, and she was the first mother, according to these stories. Even though she was not as popular as her daughter Nut, or her granddaughters Nephthys or Isis, the Egyptians knew that without her, Egypt would descend into chaos. It is no wonder that they equated her with the goddess Ma'at.

The BBC has confirmed that Jonathan Ross is to return to present on Radio 2, six years after the Sachsgate scandal caused him and then presenter Russell Brand to be suspended from the station.
Ross, who had appeared as a guest on Brand's show, was suspended without pay from all BBC shows for three months in 2008 following the row caused by his and Brand's actions.
The pair had left a series of lewd messages on the answerphone of actor Andrew Sachs regarding his granddaughter Georgina Baillie, alleging that Brand had had sexual relations her, with Ross swearing in one of the messages.
Brand resigned from his role, as did the channel's controller Lesley Douglas, and Ross returned to the station for another 18 months.
The BBC has said Ross's return will be a "one-off" stint and that there are no plans for him to return permanently.
But Sachs's wife Melody said the news was "a slap in the face", adding that the BBC's decision was "very sad and thoughtless and disrespectful", the Daily Mail reports.
A BBC spokesperson said: "Jonathan apologised for his mistake at the time and returned to Radio 2 for a year after the incident, before leaving in 2010."
"He is an experienced and talented broadcaster who presented on Radio 2 for 10 years and was very popular with our audience.
"He is standing in for Steve Wright while he is on holiday and we hope listeners will enjoy listening to him on the network for these few days."

Here is the first full trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger. The Superbowl Spot for Captain America was our first look at the film and it was impressive. Looks like Chris Evans may be able to pull this one off. Gotta love the skinnification and shortening of Chris Evans in the beginning. There's some Benjamin Button special effects right there. Most of the other actors are shown in this trailer. It is our first look at some of them in action. The film also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Toby Jones, Neal McDonough, Derek Luke, and Stanley Tucci. I am once again confessing to being totally ignorant in the comic book world, but I would gladly see this one. It looks like a good ride, plus it is not set in modern times. Official Synopsis:
"Captain America: The First Avenger" will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. As Captain America, Rogers joins forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving.)
Captain America: The First Avenger is in theatres July 22, 2011.

Adrian Parvulescu
Images Courtesy: Adrian Parvulescu
Born in Bucharest and made in Berlin, Adrian Parvulescu, is acting between fashion and art. These images are a perfect bridge that connect two season. One we just went through, and the new one we are going to live.
Adrian is living by life's little affairs that take him from one to another situation. Those situations are the moments that Adrian tries to save into photographs.
Adrian loves catching situations. The pictures he sent us have something familiar, fresh and vernal. They don't have an unambigouos connotation of the captured moment but they let your imagination picture what happened right before and what's gonna happen later. And they make you smile. Especially the two pictures that inspired me for the recipes I'm gonna tell you. In these pictures the face of the subject is covered with a layer of cream or a towel! I think I should suggest the following recipes to Adrian himself, hoping he'll appreciate them,because with the use of the same ingredients I found a double solution and because we can use them to hide our face as well..
Recipe for cucumber mask
– 1 cucumber
– 1 lemon
– plain yogurt
– mixer
How To
Cut 5-6 inches of cucumber and peel it. Then cut it into 4 pieces and place it in a bowl with half lemon's juice and 3 spoons of yoghurt. Blend it with the mixer and use the brush to spread it on your face and neck skin. Use a generous dose especially around your eyes and mouth, to fight the signs of stress, but don't touch mucous membranes: always leave a one inch margin to avoid burns and irritation.Leave it on your skin for 5 minutes. Before washing it away, gently massage your skin with circular movements and rinse with plenty of warm water, then dab your face with a cotton towel or a sponge, without rubbing.You can do this about twice a week, because this is not an aggressive mask: it is nutrient and astringent and it will help your skin looking beautiful and fresh from the first use.
Take these ingredients and add a bit of garlic… you'll have an excellent tzatziki!
Recipe for Tzatziki
– 14 ounces of yoghurt (Greek yoghurt is perfect, you'll easily find it at the supermarket)
– half cucumber, peeled and grated.
– 4-8 Cloves of garlic (depending on your taste), finely chopped
– juice of half a lemon
– 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
– salt.
How To
First prepare all the ingredients. The cucumber should be peeled and should have no seeds. Once you've grated it, place it on an absorbent cloth so that you won't have too much liquid. Take a bowl and mix oil and lemon juice in it, then slowly add the yoghurt, being careful to add it completely to the oil mix. Add garlic cloves and the cucumber, keep mixing until it is well blended. The secret for a more intense tzatziki? The longer you keep it in fridge before serving the stronger flavor it will get. To add a fresh touch, you can add some fresh mint as well.
Steam and herbal tea with chamomile ginger and mint
– essential oil of mint
– chamomile
– ginger
– bicarbonate
– essential oil of eucalyptus
– bowl
– Towel
How To
First wash the ginger and cut into thin slices. Boil 5 liters of water and add chamomile, sliced ginger and mint. Let it boil for some minutes and put aside a cup you'll drink as tea. Add a spoon of bicarbonate and some drops of oil to the rest of the water, it will improve its beneficial effects. Remove from heat, pour everything in a bowl, take a towel and keeping your head over the pot aspire for at least 10 minutes the steam of this water. Then you'll still have your herbal tea ready to be drunk.
