If you dread changing your vacuum cleaner's bags because you dread getting a face full of dust, chances are you're waiting too long to change them. Ideally, you should change the bag when it's about 3/4 full. That gives you some breathing room (literally) when you take the bag out, and any disturbance of the dust and crud inside won't come exploding out. With this six-pack, you'll always have a spare bag in the cleaning closet so there's no need to force the issue.

LifeProof Fre for iPhone 5s review: An impressive Touch ID-ready case
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Accessories, Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Product Reviews
It's said that Apple product's cycle iteration are improved upon from generation to generation; dubbed the tick tock method. In that regards, LifeProof has proven itself to be in sync. The Frē for iPhone 5s is an incremental update (see our iPhone 5s review) that goes hand in hand with the update of the Apple's latest iPhone. To the untrained eye, the iPhone 5s' outer design is relatively unchanged from the iPhone 5 except for a few important aspects, which LifeProof simply nails.
Let me say that right off the bat, the Touch ID is nothing short of a marvel. Biometric security is nothing new, but in and of itself, many companies have attempted it and many have failed miserably. On the other hand, Apple has executed it to perfection while making it look easy. My biggest trepidation was how LifePoof's new case would continue to provide protection from environmental factors like snow, water, dirt and shock while still allowing access to the Touch ID's function, without hindering biometric authentication in any way. So, how did it perform? Join us for our LifeProof Fre for iPhone 5s review to find out!

|Half Baths
|333 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 - 7 nights
Ideally located in the heart of Avignon, the apartment is perfect for couples, artists of opera, trainees wishing to stay in the heart of the city the 1st floor of an old mansion, it can accommodate 3 beds. On an area of 33 m2, it has a room with a mezzanine that includes: - 1 double bed - 1 sofa bed offers additional 1couchage - 1 bathroom with shower - separate toilet - 1 kitchen - 1 dining area with table - 1 lounge area with TV with cable channels and DVD player - 1 small balcony The studio has air conditioning, very practical in hot weather. Linens, dishes and small appliances (vacuum cleaner, toaster, washing machine, ironing board and iron) are provided. You will be charmed by the setting of this old mansion that belonged to King René.
Couldn't have asked for better location and the owner was extremely helpful in every way. It was a terrific base for a memorable week in Avignon. Close to all major sights and Les Halles!!!
There's 3 of us and we stayed 3 nights in this apartment. We loved Avignon and the apartment is conveniently located between the train station and the main sights, with the Tourist Information office being convenient too. Only up one flight of stairs, which was a welcome change from other apartments we rented in Europe. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Overall it's an awesome value for the money. It would be better for guests who don't need to use the sofabed though.
Tip: We got lost on the way to the apartment because Google maps suggested cutting along lots of little streets in the old town. We should have stayed on Cours Jean Jaurès/Rue de la Republique until we got to the little triangle park with the fountain (Rue Théodore Aubanel I think) then it's more-or-less straight until Rue de la Rene ends.
This location of this apartment is ideal, a short walk from the train station and from the main tourist sights. Les Halles is just outside the door and the apartment is surrounded by great restaurants and shopping. The apartment itself was spacious for two people and had everything we needed for our four night stay. There were a few downsides. The owner added a 30 Euro cleaning fee to our stay after we booked and paid a 50% deposit. This is a 15% increase in the price we were given when we chose to book the apartment. When we arrived, we were told that the internet wouldn't work for the first day and, once it was working again, not to expect it to be very fast. This was frustrating, as we rely heavily on having internet where we stay while we travel, both for working out the daily details of our trip and for my husband. Finally, there was construction on the road directly outside apartment window, which was incredibly loud beginning at 7 a.m. each morning. It also created dust and dirt that made opening the window during the day impossible. While it was nice having the option to run the air conditioner, the weather wasn't warm enough to need it, which meant the apartment felt stuffy most of the time. Overall, it was a great location for a great price and we enjoyed our stay, but we probably would stay elsewhere if we return to Avignon.
We enjoyed staying at this lovely apartment right down the street from Les Halles indoor market. We had everything we needed; comfortable beds, nicely equip kitchen, washing machine. Within walking distance to so many restaurants, tourist attractions, grocery stores as well as other stores. We enjoyed meeting Louise, she was very helpful getting us all settled in. It was the perfect set up for my husband, daughter and I.
The apartment is located in an old building and convenient for all the tourist sites and amenities in Avignon eg ,bus , train , supermarket . iI also had a comfortable bed ,very important . The owner, Mme Chibatte was very helpful and most charming . If we return to Avignon we would definitely book this apartment again .
We had a lovely stay in the apartment. It is compact but has everything you need & is close to a wonderful bakers & a large indoor market. We were only about 10 mins away from everywhere so the perfect in town break. Louise was so helpful, answering a lot of e-mail queries from me (!) & really made us feel at home. We'd definitely recommend to anyone planning to visit Avignon
In the center of Avignon, the studio is 5 minutes from the historic center with the Opera, the Palais des Papes and the Place de l'Horloge. An ideal location to explore this World Heritage city of UNESCO and visit the Festival. You will be close to all the shops and restaurants.

The Bears are already missing corner Jerry Azumah (neck surgery) for a few more weeks. That means little used corner Todd McMillon or rookie Nathan Vasher will start alongside R.W. McQuarters, the team's third-best corner who will see plenty of Randy Moss.
The key for the Bears will be getting help on Moss from safeties Mike Green, Bobby Gray and second-year safety Todd Johnson, who will get his first start.
"This is one of the elite receivers (Moss), and this is one of the elite passers (Culpepper) in the league," Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera said. "So I think (our guys) do look at this as a challenge and I think that these guys feel pretty comfortable with what we're trying to do right now.
"I think we have an opportunity to make some plays."
The Vikings are averaging 412.5 total yards per game, and Daunte Culpepper is tied with Eagles QB and Mt. Carmel grad Donovan McNabb for the NFL lead with six touchdown passes after two weeks. Opposite of Moss, will be former Bears receiver Marcus Robinson.
The Vikings are far from healthy, either. Offensive tackle Mike Rosenthal (foot) and tight end Jim Kleinsasser (knee) are both out for the season. Running back Michael Bennett (knee) is still not ready to play, while backup running back Moe Williams (ankle) isn't 100 percent.
The Bears know the best way to contain Culpepper and Moss is to keep them off the field. That means Chicago will need to move the chains and control the clock. Thomas Jones had 152 yards rushing against the Packers. The game will be on turf, which means his speed could be a factor.
"If we can have no turnovers and run the ball effectively -- offensively we're going to win a lot of games," Bears quarterback Rex Grossman said.
The Bears offense could be without Desmond Clark because of an ankle injury. The tight end is now questionable. Dustin Lyman would start if Clark were unable to go.
Bears (1-1) at Minnesota (1-1)
When: Noon, today.
TV/Radio: Fox (Ch. 32)/WBBM-AM (780).

Working for a Strong First Amendment
and Sound Communications Policy
FOR RELEASE: January 28, 2003
Contact: Richard T. Kaplar
The Media Institute
Washington, January 28, 2003 - FCC Commissioner Kevin Martin has challenged broadcasters to reinstate the Family Viewing Hour, and cable and DBS operators to offer a family-friendly programming package as an expanded tier.
While Commissioner Martin's intentions are no doubt noble, his proposals give us pause.
First, he correctly notes that "the FCC does not have express statutory authority governing family-friendly programming." But he then states that "at a minimum," the FCC needs to "use the bully pulpit to persuade broadcasters, cable operators, and satellite providers to re-think their approach to family-friendly programming."
History shows that such pronouncements from the FCC's "bully pulpit" can have a chilling effect on FCC licensees, who are fearful of running afoul of commissioners' wishes. This "forced voluntarism" can easily become a method of regulating without regulation, as those both inside and outside the Commission (including former commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth) have warned.
Second, such "voluntary" policies have a way of becoming actual regulatory or statutory requirements in time. One need look no further than the V-chip to see how a voluntary effort by broadcasters and cablecasters to address the issue of violent programming to children culminated in a legislative mandate. The prospect of having voluntary policies and practices turned into law is a disincentive for industries to undertake voluntary action in the first place.
Also, we are surprised that Commissioner Martin refers to "numerous studies that have documented the harm that such programming - particularly violent television - can have on young people." We would be curious to know which studies the commissioner is citing. The impressive report done in 2000 by Professor Jonathan Freedman ("Media Violence and Aggression: A Review of the Research"), and even the FTC report released the same year in re the marketing of violent entertainment to children, cast substantial doubt on the literature that is said to demonstrate a causal link between TV viewing and aggression in children.
Finally, Commissioner Martin speculates about a possible link between "the increase in coarse television programming" and media concentration. This is nothing but speculation offered without any supporting evidence, and as such does nothing to further informed debate on either issue.
Given all of the above concerns, we urge Commissioner Martin to tread more cautiously when discussing family-friendly programming, over which, as he himself admits, the FCC has no statutory authority.

text: When I was in school we weren't allowed to use calculators. It wasn't until we took physics and calculus that we were allowed to use them – and that was in high school. Calculators are a prevalent today. Every mobile device has one and grade school kids use them whether they're supposed to or not. There is an ongoing debate over whether or not calculators should be allowed in the classroom but change seems inevitable as more educators are finding ways to use them constructively as part of the learning process.

Get Started with a Level I Weekly Class
ONGOING Level I is taught every Wednesday evening, except holidays and seasonal breaks, as a combination of two classes: Qi-Activation and Level I training.
When first starting Yi Ren Qigong Level I training, it is recommended that you attend both the Qi-Activation class and the Level I class combination at least three times. After attending the Qi-Activation class with Level I three times, you may choose to attend just the Level I class.

Socialization Social Experience: The Key to our Humanity
Understanding Socialization Personal Development Agents of Socialization
Social Experience: The Key to our Humanity
Socilaization- the lifelong social experience by which individuals develop their human potential and learn culture. Personality- A person's fairly consistent patterns of acting, thinking, and feeling.
Human Development: Nature and Nurture
Charles Darwin He explained how species evolve over thousands of generations. He discovered that animals develop certain traits for survival, through an emergence of nature.
The Social Sciences: The Role of Nature
Behaviorism- A theory that holds that behavior is not instinctive but learned. Rooted in the nurturing we receive not form nature. Social Isolation: Studies of Non-human Primates- Studies show that after three months of isolation recovery was possible, six months of isolation monkey's development was seriously damaged.
Understanding Socialization
Sigmund Freud: The Elements of Personality id- the human beings basic drives. ego- is a person's conscious efforts to balance innate pleasure-seeking drives with the demands of society. superego- is the cultural values and norms internalized by an identity.
Jean Piaget: Cognitive Development
Studied human cognition-how people think. Developed four stages of cognition. The Sensorimotor Stage- The level of human development at which individuals experience the world only through their senses.
The Pre-operational Stage- the level of human development at which individuals first use language and other symbols. The Concrete Operational Stage- the level of human development at which individuals first perceives causal connections in their surroundings. The Formal Operational Stage- the level of human development at which individuals think abstractly and critically.
Critical evaluation- not all societies have the capacity for such abstract thought. Even in our society perhaps 30 percent of people never reach the formal operational stage.
Lawerence Kohlberg: Moral Development
Built on Piaget's work studying moral reasoning, the ways in which individuals judge situations as right or wrong.
Carol Gilligan: The gender Factor
Claims the males have a Justice perspective, relying on formal rules to define right and wrong. Girls have a care and responsibility perspective, judging a situation with an eye toward personal relationships.
George Herbert Mead: The Social Self
Social behaviorism to explain how social experience creates individual personality. Mead focused on inward thinking, humanity's defining traits.
The Self- it part of an individuals personality composed of self-awareness and self image. Mead saw the self as the product of social experience. For Mead, self develops only as the individual interacts with others. Social experience- is the exchange of symbols. Only people use words, a wave of the hand or a smile creates meaning.
Taking the role of the other.
The Looking-Glass Self - What we think of ourselves depends on what we think others think of us. A self image based on how we think others see us. The I and the Me- By taking the role of the other we become self aware.
Self The self has two parts. As the self is active and spontaneous. Mead called the active side of the self the I. But the self is also an object, as we imagine ourselves as others see us. Mead called the objective side of the self me. We initiate an action and then we continue the action based on how others respond to us. The I and the Me are always working together.
Development of the Self- The key to developing the self, then, is learning to take the role of the other.
Significant other- are role models such as parents, teachers, older siblings.
The final stage in the development of self involves taking the role of the other. Social life demands that we see ourselves in terms of cultural norms as anyone else might.
Generalized other- the widespread cultural norms and values we use as a reference in evaluation ourselves. Critique- Mead's view is strictly social and does not take into account biological elements.
Erik H. Erikson: Eight Stages of Development
Stage 1-Infancy: the challenge of trust (versus mistrust) Birth and eighteen months. Establish a sense of trust. Family members play a key role in how the child meets this challenge.
Stage 2-Toddlerhood: the challenge of autonomy (versus doubt and shame)
Eighteen months to age three. Learn skills to cope with the world in a confident way. Failure to gain self-control leads children to doubt their abilities.
Stage 3-Preschool: the challenge of initiative (versus guilt)
Four and five year olds must learn to engage their surroundings—including people outside the family—or experience guilt at failing to meet the expectations of parents and others.
Stage 4-Preadolesence: the challenge of industriousness (versus inferiority)
Between ages six and thirteen, children enter school, make friends, and strike out on their own more. They feel proud of their accomplishments, or fear that they do not measure up.
Stage 5-Adolescence: the challenge of gaining identity (versus confusion)
During the teen years, young people struggle to establish their own identity. In part teenagers identify with others, but they also want to be unique. Almost all teens experience some confusion as they struggle to establish identity.
Stage 6-Young adulthood: the challenge of intimacy (versus isolation)
The challenge for young adults is to form and maintain intimate relationships. Falling in love (as well as making close friends) involves balancing the need to bond with the need to have a separate identity.
Stage 7-Middle adulthood: The challenge of making a difference (versus self-absorption)
The challenge of middle age is contributing to the lives of others in the family, at work, and in the larger world. Failing at this, people become stagnant, caught up in their own limited concerns.
Stage 8-Old age: the challenge of integrity (versus despair)
Near the end of our lives, people hope to look back on what they have accomplished with a sense of integrity and satisfaction. For those who have been self-absorbed, old age brings only a sense of despair over missed opportunities.
Agents of Socialization
The Family Research suggests, nothing is more likely to produce a happy, well-adjusted child than being in a loving family.
The School Schooling enlarges children's social worlds to include people with backgrounds different from their own. School teaches children a wide range of knowledge and skills, and also conveys lessons that value success and competition. The school day runs on impersonal rules and a strict time schedule. Schools also socialize children into gender roles.
Peer Groups A social group whose members have interests, social position, and age in common.
The Mass Media Impersonal communications aimed at a vast audience.
Conservative critics charge that the television and film industries are led by a liberal "cultural elite." Another concern charges that the mass media involves too much violence.
The mass media shapes how we think.
Socialization and the Life Course An overview of the life course reveals that our society organizes human experience according to age: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and finally, old age.
Childhood Childhood has special importance in the socialization process, learning continues throughout our lives.
Adolescence Just as industrialization created childhood as a distinct stage of life, adolescence emerged as a buffer between childhood and adulthood.
Adulthood Begins between the late teens and early thirties, depending on social background. After completing schooling people embark on careers. Early- till about 40, people learn to manage day-to-day affairs. Middle , people have a sense of their life circumstances.
Old Age The later years of adulthood and the final stage of life itself—begins about the mid-sixties.
Dying People talk about and plan for death. This openness may ease somewhat the pain of the surviving spouse, a consideration for women who, more often than not outlive their husbands.
The Life Course: An Overview
Societies organize the life course according to age, but other forces such as class, race ethnicity, and gender also shape people's lives.

State Senate votes to override Quinn's smart grid veto; House vote next
The Illinois state Senate has voted to override Governor Pat Quinn's veto of a bill aimed at allowing Commonwealth Edison to raise more revenue for implementation of a smart electrical grid.
The Chicago Tribune reported that the Senate voted 44-11-1, and the bill now will go to the state House, where 86 lawmakers voted for it in March. It will need at least 71 votes to override the veto.
Quinn had objected to the bill primarily on the grounds that a rate hike that would give about $70 million added annual revenue for ComEd (NYSE: EXC) would harm customers. Despite large legislative margins, Quinn is not alone in opposing the bill: WNIJ reported that the AARP said it's a bad deal for customer, reasoning that ComEd shouldn't get rate increases when it's behind on making improvements to the electrical grid.
To that point, ComEd has pushed for the General Assembly to approve rate hikes in order to improve the grid largely because the Illinois Commerce Commission cut funding for the company while at the same time ComEd was mandated to upgrade the system.

This series of works reflects the chaos of life and the beauty that arises from different adversities. The creation of each of these works in the series is completely unique and can be called as that of Mother Nature. As the artist I have the main choice in pigments and solvents. But the way in which different colors interact and flow is unique and spesific to each individual piece. With the nature of the style, I find it extremely releasing as an artist. It allows we to create pieces that are free of bounds and still ever changing. This painting has a particular beauty to it with the flow and adaptations of irredecents in random areas. The painting has taken over a week to dry, this is unheard of for acrylics but the wait was well worth it. The white in the painting has a slight pink hue and will appear differently on different screens. The lighter tones dig deep into the painting and are gradually covered by the darker pigment as Gravity was having its say in the process.Orientation can be changed by owners desire. The piece has a gloss top coat on it.

Siddharthnagar, Sep 21 (UNI) An estimated 3,000 'madhesis' (Indians living in Nepal) have taken shelter in India, following bloody clashes with maoists in Nepal for the last six days.
Shashastra Seema Bal (SSB) DIG S Bandopadhyay told UNI here today, that 2,000 'madhesis' had taken shelter in Balrampur and 1,000 in Siddharthnagar districts of Uttar Pradesh so far.
Maoists want the 'madhesis' out of the Himalayam kingdom.
The SSB DIG said most 'madhesis' were putting up with their relatives.
However, one camp each had been set up at Balrampur and Siddharthnagar districts for accomodating the rest of them.
Mr Bandopadhyay said following the clashes, high alert had been sounded along the Indo-Nepal international border touching Maharjganj, Siddharthnagar, Balrampur and Shrawasti districts of UP.
Senior officials were camping in the area.

The Premier League confirmed yesterday that Adrian Mutu has lodged an appeal against his dismissal by Chelsea after testing positive for cocaine.
The Premier League confirmed yesterday that Adrian Mutu has lodged an appeal against his dismissal by Chelsea after testing positive for cocaine.
A hearing will now be organised at which both the Romanian striker, who was also suspended for seven months by the Football Association and fined £20,000, and his former employers will give evidence. "Adrian Mutu's legal representatives have launched an appeal against his sacking by Chelsea," a Premier League spokesman said.
Mutu, whose case has been taken up by the Professional Footballers' Association, is understood to be anxious to sign a pre-contract agreement with Juventus. He has held talks with the Serie A club and now employs Alessandro Moggi, the son of Juventus's general manager, Luciano Moggi, as his agent.
Mutu wants to prevent Chelsea from succeeding in their own request to the Football Association to withhold his player registration, despite his sacking for gross misconduct, so that they can secure compensation for their loss. It is unlikely, in any case, that Chelsea's wishes will be granted - which raises questions as to exactly why Mutu is appealing.
It could be simply that he wants to pre-empt any further
legal action from Chelsea so that he can sign the deal with Juventus, effectively as a free agent, and secure a seven-figure signing-on fee. Chelsea will do everything to prevent that from happening although, as yet, they have not instigated any legal proceedings. The club signed Mutu, 25, for £15.8m from Parma last year and value him at £12m in their accounts, when the depreciation of his contract is taken into account.
Mutu's case will be based on the precedent of other players who were found to have taken illegal substances but who were offered rehabilitation rather than being sacked. However, Chelsea are convinced they have acted legally and according to the player's contract.
Mutu's suspension has been extended worldwide by football's governing body, Fifa. However, he is being allowed to train with one of his former clubs, Dinamo Bucharest, and was yesterday in Armenia for Romania's World Cup qualifier.
