We like this apartment because it features colourful modern design, and lies off the beaten track. Close to Parc Central del Poblenou, the interior takes its cue from the innovative green space. Couples will be inspired by this rental, as well as by its price tag – bargain!
Divided by the Eixample's long Diagonal road, the New Town is mainly residential. There are a couple of ultra-modern buildings and an old, brick chimney or two, just for good measure. The weird and wonderful Parc del Poble Nou is worth checking out. And you can't help but like the equally odd-looking Torre Agbar. The charming Rambla de Poble Nou, provides as pleasant a stroll as you could wish for. You'll reach the beach eventually. But it's impossible not to stop off for a terrace coffee.

Guests should be warned that 48 treps have to be taken.
Location in a rather new neighbourhood is interesting.
Enough means of transport are available to visit the town.
A magnetron would be helpful.
Great apartment! It's a shame I couldn't spend more time in the apartment, since I was in Barcelona for work. Comfortable bed, good shower, and complete kitchen. A bit outside of the centre, but public transport nearby.
We had a great time staying in this beautiful apartment. It's well furnished with everything you need, and has lots of space and natural light. The host Fernando was very friendly and helpful. Can definitely recommend!
The apartment is excellent,very modern and nicely decorated.I would definitely recommend a stay here.
This apartment was a tremendous value for the money.. Located in the Poblenos neighborhood, we had easy metro and bus service to the heart of the city. Clean, air-conditioned and well decorated our host went out of his way to make us feel at home. When we had difficulty with the remote control for the TV, he returned and reexplained how it functioned. The kitchen was well equipped with full size appliances and a supermarket and delicatessen were in easy walking distance. On the day we lest, our host assured that we had a taxi that got us to the airport in plenty of time. My only concern about the apartment is the absence of an elevator and the ability of tenants to navigate the steps to the the third floor with baggage. Fortunately our host was there to help us when we arrived. All in all, I'd highly recommend this apartment for its value and comfort.
I stayed at this apartment for 5 days with my cousin. The apartment was very nice, clean and comfy. It is located about 20 minutes walk fro the nearest metro station Poble Nou. A supermarket is 5 minutes distance from the apartment, so we could buy the stuff for cooking at home without needing to go too far.
The apartment is just like in the photos, very pleasant and friendly.
The owner was a bit cold and strict, but anyway he was helpful when we asked him for a taxi during the check-out.
The stairs of the building are very tight and was a bit difficult to carry the luggage and to climb the stairs at the same time, in the way to the apartment.
The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The police station was 3 minutes walk away from the apartment so it makes it a very safe place to stay.
had a very pleasant time in the apartment and also a great time in Barcelona. Totally recommend this apartment for staying in Barcelona. Worth the money.

By Howard Campbell——–
MARLEY and Me, the sensational tell-all book by Bob Marley's former manager Don Taylor, will be re-released in February by LMH Publishing.
Mike Henry, head of LMH Publishing, told the Jamaica Observer that it should be available in time for the reggae legend's birthday on February 6.
HENRY… Marley and Me is one of his best sellers
He said the second edition will have additional chapters, looking at developments regarding the Marley Estate in the last decade.
While Taylor gave salacious details of Marley's personal life, he also made controversial claims against the singer's widow Rita Marley.
Taylor, who died in December 1999, said Rita Marley was against her husband's 'outside' children benefiting from his legacy which was reportedly valued US$30 million at the time of his death in May 1981.
Marley, citing his Rastafarian faith, never left a will.
"When the book came out, we were threatened with a lot of lawsuits that never materialised," said Henry. "Just read the number of Marley books that followed and you will see Don has been exonerated," said Henry.
Marley and Me was distributed by Henry's previous company, Kingston Publishers.
The St Elizabeth-born Taylor managed Marley for four years, starting in 1974. He was sacked by the singer during his African tour in 1979.
Taylor was among four persons shot at Marley's St Andrew home in December 1976. Marley and his wife were also shot and injured in the incident.
Henry says Marley and Me is one of his best sellers. It has been released in French, Japanese and Spanish.

Hello, all. I'm new to these parts, and kinda-sorta-not-really-new back to beekeeping.
I grew up in California and we always had bees (which means I stepped on more than my fair share when I was barefoot and running around in the summers). I never had a lot to do with the hives, proper, but as I got older I did a fair bit with the honey and wax -- and I always liked the bees themselves (they're such pretty little girls). And then I grew up and there were apartments and lots of moving and big cities and no bees for years and years.
So, when I moved to a house (with a yard!) in Portland, one of the first things I noticed last summer was... there weren't any honeybees at *all* up in my neighborhood. A few bumbles, and some wasps... but none of the honeybees I was expecting (hoping) to see. So I started looking into getting my own hive... and promptly realized how much I'd forgotten or had never known about keeping bees. I can tell you, it's a bit overwhelming to vaguely remember some of the basics, but then there's hundreds of people and sites arguing about the "best" hives and breeds and equipment and all the rest. I figured my best bet was to do a lot of research, and then steel myself for murdering at least three colonies while I limped along the learning curve...
Which didn't sound like a very good plan at all, but it was about the best I could think of...!
(It's okay -- this story has a MUCH happier ending than that. I think. So far.)
As luck would have it, at the first local Farmer's Market of this season, I got to talking to a local honey seller whose husband does swarm retrieval and beekeeping. She mentioned that her husband was always on the lookout for folks that were willing to host hives in their yards. The working plan is the the hosts can be as much or as little involved in caring for the hives as they like, with a bit of honey for rent. And that, of course, sounded BRILLIANT to me. There was the safety-net of a seasoned beekeeper I'd been looking for, with the opportunity for me to hands-on with a hive and learn and re-learn what I'll need to have my own hives, eventually, when I'm no longer a hazard waiting to happen.
So a last month, we got a call about a swarm, and those were put into a nuc and set up in a morning-sun spot in the back yard. And then a week later we moved a second, established hive into a super next door to the nuc. And, hooray, my backyard is buzzing with bees! I don't care too much about honey (I take a spoonful a day as I've always done, like vitamins, and I use it in lotions and salves), but I *love* working with beeswax, so I talked them out of some few-years-old comb (and some reaaaally ugly old burr, haha) and have been rendering some gorgeous dark wax the past couple of weeks.
And now I've talked WAY too much for any sort of introduction (I can get VERY chatty ), so I'm just going to say hello again, and I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with and learning from you all!

Subtle multi-media elements in Tribes offer a thoughtful sense of the differences in how these characters communicate. Supertitles projected above the stage frequently display translations of Sylvia's signing, of Billy's voice, and — most disarmingly — of what has been communicated when neither character has said anything in any formal language.
As turns out, no language is truly enough. Raine's script covers an impressive amount of ground on some of our most fundamental questions about the nature and value of language, and how we are defined by those we are given or choose. Ultimately, this beautiful production of Tribes is a wise and uncommon exploration of how we try, fail, and can learn to hear each other.

Here's a couple of my blocks.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Here's a couple of my blocks.
Feathers that is pretty... I really like the colors you chose..
I like your choice of colors! I printed this out but didn't have time to do it Tuesday as I had company all day....hoping to get to it soon!
Thank you, guys: The burgundy doesn't seem to show like I hoped it would. It identically matches the darker color in the pinkish print but in the picture the burgundy looks brown or dark? Oh! Well, I'm hoping when I decide on a block arrangement the burgundy will tie in better????
How pretty!! That's a square that can be turned different ways? I love it.
I started a block yesturday, but with scrappy fabrics. When I saw the finished quilt, I decided I will have to get some new fabrics and do it in just 3 colors. Oh well, it was good practice & now I have a reason to buy some new fabric :!: :!: :!:
Oh, I love the colors...very pretty! :)
Gail....that is how I wanted to do mine was scrappy.... can't wait to see how it turns out.
Love those colors! I want to try this quilt too. The examples have been so pretty!
That's looking great Feathers, cameras have a way of doing that to you . Mine makes all my teals look like blues. Here is my one, It ended up a bit different cause I didn't want one as big so for the cutting I did 75% of every thing, hoping I would be able to reduce it in some way. Anyway when I saw the drawing of the completed center I realised reducing it by one row wasn't going to work, design wise, so I removed the top and bottom row which left me with quite a few extra 9 patches, so I used them in the boarder and extended the lines of squares into the boarder. Hey, when did I ever do anything the way I'm sposed to lol :lol:
Snowb: You absolutly can do this in scraps :P as long as you stick to your colour families so that you get a clear definition between your lights and coloured pieces. In this I have used purples, teals and cream to fawn lights for my background

Life Tech Buys Korean Distributor LSK
Life Technologies said today it acquired its primary instrument distributor since 1994, Life Science Korea (LSK), for an undisclosed price. LSK holds distribution rights to Life Tech's Applied Biosystems® products, including next-generation sequencing instruments, Sanger sequencing systems, forensics and PCR products.
LSK serves more than 1,000 customers in academia, government, pharmaceutical, biotech, hospitals and applied markets. Under the terms of the acquisition, the LSK name will become part of Life Technologies Korea, though the consolidation will likely be ultimately shaped by the pending $13.6 billion acquisition of Life Tech by Thermo Fisher Scientific, a deal announced April 15.
Three days earlier, Life Tech completed the acquisition of its primary Korean reagent distributor since 1982, KDR Biotech Company Ltd. (KDR Biotech), also for an undisclosed price.
"The acquisition of LSK is in line with our go-direct strategy in South Korea and builds on our current capabilities and platforms in this important market," Mark Smedley, president of Life Tech's Asia Pacific Japan region, said in a statement. "The combination of Life Technologies Korea and LSK—bolstered by our recent acquisition of consumables distributor KDR—enables us to offer one channel to serve the many different needs of our South Korean customers and to create a superior purchasing experience."
With its KDR and LSK acquisitions, Life Tech aims to better position itself for capitalizing on South Korea's growing biotech industry. The industry is expected to grow further as the national government carries out its Bio-vision 2016 life sciences initiative—formally known as the Second Framework Plan for Biotechnology Promotion.
Launched in 2006, Bio-vision commits South Korea to becoming one of the world's top seven biotechnology nations, growing its industry to KRW 60 trillion ($53 billion) from KRW 2.7 trillion (about $2.4 billion) in 2006. Bio-vision includes a series of goals that include a near-doubling of postgraduate degree recipients to 17,300 from 9,500 in 2006; a leap from 12th to 7th rank worldwide in peer-reviewed science and tech papers published; and a leap from 15th to 7th rank worldwide in technology patents.
Last year, Life Tech generated $898.2 million in sales across the Asia Pacific region, up 8.5% from 2011's $827.9 million—but more importantly, accounting for nearly a quarter (23.6%) or total 2012 revenue of nearly $3.8 billion.

What does Intel Haswell mean for the future of the PC?
The PC isn't dying but you'd have to say it's not doing too well. That's the message from the first-quarter 2013 global PC shipment figures from market analyst IDC. Compared with the same period in 2012 this year's first-quarter figures were down nearly 14% the largest drop in history and IDC has no qualms about who's to blame.
âAt this point unfortunately it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market but appears to have slowed the marketâ said Bob O'Donnell IDC Program Vice President Clients and Displays. âWhile some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch capabilities of Windows 8 the radical changes to the UI removal of the familiar 'Start' button and the costs associated with touch have made PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive devices. Microsoft will have to make some very tough decisions moving forward if it wants to help reinvigorate the PC market.â
Ouch. Locally the drop in our neck of the woods (Asia Pacific) came in at 12.7% year on year the first time our region has seen a double-digit slump. All PC brands went backwards with Acer recording an extraordinary 31.3% crash in global sales.
However the important question is where does the PC go from here? Does it have a future or will we all be wistfully remembering the good old days as we communicate on the apcmag.com web site with our tablets and smartphones?
The Wintel problem
If the 1990s/2000s IT landscape was characterised by anything it was the Wintel alliance – the unbeatable combination of Microsoft's Windows operating system and Intel's CPU technology which saw PC sales skyrocket. While neither would have seriously minded their rising successes being tied to the other you can bet they're not as happy as they start coming down the other side.
From the hardware side of things Intel has managed to deliver a reasonably stable platform with regular improvements for much of the last 20 years. Despite having some excellent silicon AMD unfortunately has been largely neutered as serious competition. Intel's massive marketing budget certainly wouldn't have helped.
Aside from some excellent new features in Microsoft's latest OS IDC has effectively said Windows 8 has been an 'own goal' for the PC market and even helped accelerate the take-up of smartphones and tablets a market that's completely owned by Intel rival ARM.
Does that mean Intel can blame everyone else for the slump the PC is in right now? Of course not – Intel has to shoulder a significant proportion of the blame for doing too little to innovate elsewhere.
If you step back and look at the big picture you can see how market pressure is driving the chip giant. Intel is now as much concerned with performance as it is power consumption. Reduced power consumption computing (RPCC) undergirds just about everything in the mobile and server space right now. You can't read about a new server processor release without hearing about its low TDP or a new mobile quad-core-powered device without debate about its battery life. Combine all of this together and you get a pretty fair idea of where the PC as a platform is headed for the next few years.
Windows 8 is taking the blame for the slowdown in PC sales.
The future for desktops
Continued process node reductions have enabled CPU makers to take more and more features off the motherboard and squeeze them inside the processor itself. Memory controllers voltage regulators graphics processing units even the North Bridge itself now exist only as CPU silicon. That along with continued miniaturisation has seen Intel develop the NUC design which we showed you earlier in the year.
Reducing the desktop computer to little more than a stack of half-a-dozen CD cases in size while at the same time reducing power consumption is where Intel expects the consumer and enterprise desktop to end up. All-in-one designs have grown considerably in the last five years and Intel still sees growth for business and consumer versions in the coming period.
Intel is pushing the all-in-one design where it still expects to see growth.
So where does that leave PC gaming? The market reality is that the current PC form factor will continue while ever there are consumers coughing up sufficient cash to keep the discrete component industry afloat. The growing sophistication and lower cost of gaming consoles let alone the boom in tablet gaming will continue to put pressure on PC gaming hardware prices.
That will mean further cost reductions and as queasy as it makes us feel it's very likely more PGA/pre-soldered desktop CPUs like the Core i7-4770R are on the cards rather than less. That Intel has only given the LGA socket qualified support until 2015 further suggests an inevitable move is coming.
Intel's NUC the desktop of the near-future?
The future for laptops
Part of the problem with the PC has been the continual erosion of average selling prices. It's been acknowledged as part of AMD's larger financial woes and it's affecting laptop sales. The one laptop platform where there is still hope is ultrabooks. The ultra-compact designs sell for more than standard laptops and Intel said at its September 2012 IDF conference that it expected there to be around 140 ultrabook designs by the time Haswell launches in June.
The key aspect involving Haswell here is that Intel is claiming the new CPU will be the first CPU designed specifically for ultrabooks with TDP options down to as low as 10W.
Intel is still churning out quad-core chips for the performance/gaming end of the laptop market although expect to see the chip giant push hard with ultrabooks and ultrabook convertibles to try and take on the tablet market.
If you can't beat 'em: ultrabook convertibles like this Lenovo will take on the tablet market with Haswell.
Adding further weight to this view has been our sighting of a long list of upcoming Haswell/ULV processors from the Core i7-4558U to the Core i5-4258U and i5-4200Y down to the Core i3-4005U all in combination with the three main new iGPU options: the GT2/HD 4400 GT3/HD 5000 and GT3/ HD 5100.
You'll continue to see budget 15-inch bricks for the foreseeable future but it'll be ultrabooks combined with Windows 8.1 delivering excellent performance and true day-long battery life that could well be Wintel's renaissance. Throw in these ULV parts and it might also give ARM something to think about.
It's an evolving platform
It might sound like we're selling a sob story about price erosion but the reality is that as profits drop manufacturers look for ways to cut costs. Losing CPU sockets adding more integration and delivering new platforms are all key factors in keeping the PC market alive. Regardless of where your standpoint is the PC market simply can't continue to drop sales at the rate of 14% per quarter for too long without change. However if you look back 10 or more years ago to the Slot-cartridge CPU era change and integration have been part and parcel of what is always an evolving platform.
Yes the PC is in trouble although the reality is that it still delivers a level of performance that tablets and smartphones can only dream of. Combine that with lightweight portable and compact desktop designs plus greatly improved power consumption and the PC may well change what it looks like but the platform will still exist for a few more years yet.

In the Gardens of Impressionism
From Manet's earliest depictions of the Tuileries Gardens in Paris to Monet's late waterlilies painted at Giverny, the Impressionists had an ongoing love affair with gardens. As places of rest, relaxation, and beauty, gardens were the Impressionist subject par excellence. This beautifully illustrated volume is the first consideration of this beloved theme in the Impressionists' work. Here the artists' fascination with gardens, parks, and flowers is explored in the context of the contemporary craze for horticulture and the changing political and cultural landscape in France. Drawing on archival sources such as horticultural journals as well as literature, poetry, and correspondence, the book describes how gardens, simultaneously "modern" and imbued with nostalgia, were central to the Impressionists' discovery of their distinctive plein-air (out-of-doors) style. At the same time, by bringing to life the 19th-century tradition of floral symbolism and exploring how it infiltrated the work of key Impressionists, the book gives familiar works radical new interpretations. This vital contribution to our understanding of the Impressionist world is sure to delight art and gardening enthusiasts alike. AUTHOR BIO: Clare Willsdon is senior lecturer in the history of art at the University of Glasgow. Her work covers many aspects of 19th-century European culture, and her previous publications include the award-winning Mural Painting in Britain, 1840-1940.

NEW YORK, Monday—Much to our pleasure, the concert given yesterday afternoon by the Dutchess County Philharmonic Society was very well attended. On the whole this local orchestra is really remarkably good, and I think the opportunity to have Mr. Hans Kindler lead them and to play to such an audience will serve as a stimulus for more work in the future. It may also be useful in awakening the people of the neighborhood to the need for supporting local talent. Orchestras such as this very often furnish the real musical education of a people and are the reservoirs where great talent is discovered and developed.
I have a letter today which brings up a point that I have wanted to discuss in this column before. At one of my press conferences I was asked whether I would approve of the drafting of boys in the eighteen and nineteen-year-old group. Frankly, of course, I hope we will not be forced to do this, because I feel that it is important, where boys show aptitude for further education, that they should have an opportunity to acquire it. It is probable that in times of war where boys are not anxious for more education, they will enlist since after the age of eighteen, enlistment is possible. If it does become necessary, however, to use younger boys on a draft basis, I think it should be done with the greatest discrimination.
This mother who writes me from Atlantic City, N. J., points out that her older boy had three years of earning his own living before he enlisted at the age of twenty-one. I imagine that during those three years, she felt that he was safeguarded by the fact that he was living at home and therefore could be watched over by his family. On the other hand she feels that her younger boy, who is eighteen, has never been anywhere except where his family has taken him; so if he were thrown with a mixed group today, he would not have the experience to know good companions from bad, and might succumb the influences which three years later would not touch him. In other words, she feels that her eighteen-year-old boy is still a child, and this, of course, is true in many cases.
That is why I think draft boards, considering boys of this age, will have to consider first their physical development. Many an eighteen-year-old boy is strong enough to stand the strain. Others might not be. Secondly, mental and moral development are important factors to be considered. These two things will depend largely on the types of schools and homes in which these boys have been brought up. If they have been sheltered and made somewhat too dependent upon their elders, it would be too great a hardship to plunge them immediately into military service, and they should probably have some intermediary preparation.

Where I stayed
Hoa Bien Bungalows
After arriving late the previous evening we found accommodation at one end of town, which is spread out across one road 6 miles long adjacent to the beach. Woke up in our bungalow around 9.30am at Hoa Bien Bungalows. It was one of the cheaper resorts with no backpackers, just a few Vietnamese holiday makers. We caught a taxi to the town area and had breakfast in Lam Tong, recommended by Lonely Planet and were surprised at how cheap it was. Mui Ne is well known for its high seas, surfing and other water sports which we were able to admire from the seafront of the restaurant
Due to our limited time in Vietnam we booked a night bus for the next day to Hoi An, along with a jeep to pick us up at 5am and take us to the white and red sand dunes of Mui Ne in time for sunrise. We went for a walk starting at the base of the Fairy Springs. This involved walking bare foot upstream amidst deep red sand dunes and rice paddies. We climbed a few pinacles and Jamie climbed to the top of the dunes, a steep scramble with impressive views. Jamie and Lara also had a ride on an ostrich towards the end of the journey (one for the diary).
Later that evening we ate at Joe's Art House Cafe, a lovely western run restaurant with live music and comfy sofas to relax and enjoy a beer.
After about 3 hours sleep we got up at 3.30am so that Lara and Michelle could prepare themselves for a photo shoot on the sand dunes. Fullt kitted out in outfits and extreme makeup, we sleepily jumped into the jeep and after a bumpy 40 minute ride we arrived at the white sand dunes for sunrise. Picturesque, with the odd smattering of litter (like everywhere in Vietnam) Jamie had a go at sand boarding, essentially sledging on sand
Back at the bungalow, we packed and chilled out waiting for our bus. Lee had a close encounter with Green Tree Viper (Slightly poisonous) as it wrapped itself round his leg without him realising, but it continued on his way to his relief. The bus arrived and we were on our 17 hour bus journey to Hoi An.
12/2/11 27 quid
13/2/11 18 quid (including 8 for the jeep ride)
Bus to Hoi An: 24 quid (for both)


text: I recently rebuilt the TBI on the '91 Suburban and around that time, the engine started dieing and backfiring when starting the engine from cold. I'm not certain if it was doing this before I rebuilt the TBI, but I don't recall it. If I don't keep my foot on the accelerator, the engine dies almost immediately. When I keep my foot on the pedal, it will stay running, but backfires for about a minute until it starts running evenly. After that, the engine runs great with no misfires or loss of power. All the vacuum hoses appear to be intact. I'm not sure what issue would exist only when starting and for the first minute and then resolve itself. Any ideas? I feel like I should know where to go with this, but it's not making itself apparent to me.

A 29-year-old woman has given birth to a baby weighing 6.1 kg at a hospital in Aizawl, officials said on Monday.
The baby, delivered by caesarian section on Sunday, was doing well along with the mother, Laltlanfeli.
"This is possibly Mizoram's heaviest newborn baby," a gynaecologist at the government-run hospital said.


text: I'm not sure about the inconsistencies, but I do know that I first experienced the spin in Peters 22 Longs in 1955, I was 10 years old and enamored of guns, still am. I have periodically checked my 22 ammunition in any which brand since, and the "spin" is still there in every brand I have ever used, not every cartridge, but a percentage of every brand and type. Never considered it a problem.


text: Completely agree nobody would touch Sedins contract at the moment. When the canucks did the deal I said it was a bad idea. If they play well and the team went far they would resign in a heart beat. If the season goes the way it is then a rebuild is coming and they might as well move on

Lovely property and facilities
The property is a home away from home with everything you need. The pool was great to keep our young children occupied, we did wine tasting and pipped over to Portugal for a day and visited the local area. We would keep this property in mind for future holidays and Robin was very helpful.
Beautiful property in wonderful location
We have just returned from Casa Julia; what a wonderful house so comfortable and well equipped.The location is quiet but not isolated with some excellent restaurants 5 minutes away and lots of local vineyards if you like to go wine tasting. We took the opportunity to visit local towns; driving over the mountains to Baiona was a highlight. A Guarda in the evening is a beautiful harbour with great fish restaurants. Another day we managed to cycle around Ponte de Lima. Our sons did not join us this time but would have loved the many opportunities to surf, kayak and cycle. Driving from Porto airport was easy; as Casa Julia is just over the border in Spain. We would thoroughly recommend staying at this lovely home for a holiday
Activity and Interests
Four lovely sandy estuary and Atlantic beaches are within ten minutes drive, with rockpools adjacent to the main beach at the spectacular Playa O Muino. Numerous other sandy and pine clad beaches are within 30 minutes drive on both the Spanish and Portuguese side of the Rio Minho. Surfing beaches are numerous in the area with schools and equipment hire available.
Porto is the most convenient airport (one hours drive) with Ryanair flying from many bases, including Stansted, Bristol, Birminham and Liverpool.. Santiago de Compestela is a similar distance but takes rather longer. Clickair now run a twice weekly flight to Vigo from Gatwick.Bilbao and Santander ferry ports are about 6 - 8 hours drive through lovely countryside. We recommend car hire to get the best out of this lovely area, pickups are available from airports. Ask for details of cheap deals.
O Rosal 15 mins walk - 3 mins drive. La Guarda - fishing harbour, 10 minutes drive. Celtic Village. 10 minutes drive. Tui and Valenca, Historic towns - 20 mins drive. Santiago de Compostela 1.5 hours drive. Porto city 1.5 hours drive.

Just recently i've been having problems with my connection speed. Although, this only applies on my Ps3. Every other wireless device in the house runs perfectly. When i play games online, (COD, BF3), i constantly go from a 1 bar to a 2 bar and the occasionnal 3 bar. And when i check my connection the download speed jumps from about 1 mbps to about 400 kbps and my upload speed stays around 500 kbps. The problem has started recently and before i had no problems.
PS, sometimes when i check my internet connection, the connection speed fails and gives me the following error code: 80029090.

California City First To Get 2nd-Generation Proterra Electric Bus
July 24th, 2014 by Christopher DeMorro
Are electric buses the public transit path to the future? Proterra thinks so, and so does the Foothill Transit Authority of West Covina, California. They became the first transit system in the country to offer revenue-based service of a Proterra electric bus in the U.S., and now the small city east of L.A. will be the first to get Proterra's second-generation, 300+ mile electric bus, reports Green Car Congress.
With a 20.8 MPGe, the Proterra electric bus also offers the lowest cost per passenger, which has compelled the Foothill Transit Authority to purchase two of the second-generation buses, which can do about 26 miles of driving per charge, after which a fast charger tops it off. Officially rated at more than 300 miles of driving per
charge day, though the first-gen buses could go more than 700 miles per day with enough recharging.
This is just the latest battle in the electric bus war, as America's Proterra goes head-to-head against China's BYD (which, it should be noted, is building it's buses stateside). With the two second-generation Proterra buses to be delivered in December of this year, we will move past the first-generation of electric buses with their higher costs and shorter range.
Momentum is building in Proterra's favor, but BYD isn't to be dismissed either, as the Chinese automaker has gone all-in with plug-in vehicles for both personal and public transit. Which of these two companies will dominate the public transit landscape in the coming decade?

Finals and holidays bring disruptions
Originally Published: December 15, 2004By Fran Fraschilla | Special to ESPN Insider
It's the most wonderful time of the year, as the song says -- except if you are a college basketball coach or player. Most schools are in the middle of the fall semester's final exams this month and the Christmas holiday usually brings with it travel and scheduling complications, as well. Final exams pose different problems for different teams, but the end result is the same -- it's a hard week for a basketball team to improve. In fact, most coaches are happy just to maintain their team's level of play during exam week. They aren't concerned about improving but merely surviving the grueling week. It is a unique time of the season.

Omak School District, Decision 10761 (PECB, 2010)
Eric T. Nordlof, Attorney at Law, for the union.
Vandeberg Johnson & Gandara, LLP, by William A. Coats, Attorney at Law, joined on the brief by Daniel C. Montopoli, Attorney at Law, for the employer.
On July 29, 2009, Public School Employees of Washington (union) filed an unfair labor practice complaint against the Omak School District (employer). The Commission issued a preliminary ruling finding a cause of action to exist for allegations of employer interference with employee rights. Examiner J. Martin Smith conducted a hearing on December 8, 2009. Briefs and memoranda were filed to complete the record.
Did the employer interfere with employee rights under RCW 41.56.140(1) by denying Ronald Joe Rhodes (Rhodes) a right to union representation (Weingarten right) in connection with an investigatory interview?[1]
On the basis of the evidence presented at the hearing, the Examiner holds that the employer did not violate Chapter 41.56 RCW in connection with Rhodes' investigatory interview. Therefore, the complaint is dismissed on its merits.
Employer Interference
Chapter 41.56 RCW prohibits employers from interfering with public employees who exercise collective bargaining rights secured by statute:
RCW 41.56.040 RIGHT OF EMPLOYEES TO ORGANIZE AND DESIGNATE REPRESENTATIVES WITHOUT INTERFERENCE. No public employer, or other person, shall directly or indirectly, interfere with, restrain, coerce, or discriminate against any public employee or group of public employees in the free exercise of their right to organize and designate representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of collective bargaining, or in the free exercise of any other right under this chapter.
RCW 41.56.140 UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYER ENUMERATED. It shall be an unfair labor practice for a public employer:
(1) To interfere with, restrain, or coerce public employees in the exercise of their rights guaranteed by this chapter;
Enforcement of these statutory collective bargaining rights runs through the unfair labor practice provisions of the statute. The Commission has jurisdiction to determine and remedy unfair labor practice complaints under RCW 41.56.160.
Weingarten Violations
In National Labor Relations Board v. Weingarten, Inc., 420 U.S. 251 (1975), the United States Supreme Court ruled that an employer commits an interference violation under the National Labor Relations Act if it denies an employee's request for union representation at an investigatory interview. The principles enunciated in Weingarten have been embraced by the Commission in its administration of the fundamentally similar provisions of Chapter 41.56 RCW. Okanogan County, Decision 2252-A (PECB, 1986).
The elements of proof that a complainant must establish for Weingarten allegations are: (1) the employer compelled an employee to attend an interview; (2) a significant purpose of the interview was (or became) investigatory, to obtain facts which might support disciplinary action; (3) the employee reasonably believed that discipline might result from the interview; (4) the employee requested the presence of a union representative; and (5) the employer rejected the employee's request and went ahead with the investigatory interview without a union representative present, or the employer required the union representative to remain a passive or silent observer, so as to prevent the representative from assisting the employee.
The burden of proving an allegation of unlawful interference with the exercise of rights protected by Chapter 41.56 RCW rests with the complaining party, and must be established by a preponderance of the evidence. WAC 391-45-270(1)(a). To establish an interference violation under RCW 41.56.140(1), a complainant must establish that an employer engaged in conduct which employees could reasonably perceive as a threat of reprisal or force or promise of benefit associated with their union activity. City of Seattle, Decision 3066 (PECB, 1988), aff'd, Decision 3066-A (PECB, 1989). A showing that the employer acted with intent or motivation to interfere is not required. Nor is it necessary to show that the employees concerned were actually interfered with or coerced. City of Seattle, Decision 2773 (PECB, 1987).
The union is the exclusive bargaining representative of a unit of para-educator, transportation, food service, custodial and maintenance/grounds keeping employees. The employer and union were parties to a collective bargaining agreement effective from September 1, 2006, through August 31, 2009.
Rhodes worked for more than 19 years with the Omak School District; his latest assignment was at Omak High School as a custodial employee. At all times pertinent to this case, Melissa Lickfold also worked for the Omak School District as a classified employee. She is the union president and was Rhodes' "building representative" pursuant to the union labor contract. Both were supervised by the high school principal, John Belcher. Rhodes was terminated in May of 2009.
On April 9, 2009, Belcher wrote a memo to Rhodes and provided a copy for Lickfold. The memo read:
Joe, I have scheduled a meeting for you and I tomorrow at 4pm in my office april 10th, Friday. I have also informed your union president that I will be discussing a potential disciplinary action. I encourage you to have a union representative present during this conversation.
Rhodes spoke to Lickfold later on April 9 after receiving the memo. Rhodes testified that Lickfold told him she did not know the details concerning the meeting. Lickfold testified later that she had not been truthful with Rhodes; she had discussed a potential theft at the student store with Assistant Principal David Kirk. Kirk asked her to keep that conversation confidential, with the exception of Lickfold being able to discuss the matter with PSE field representative Karen Luton.
Rhodes testified that on the morning of April 10, 2009, he had a phone conversation with Luton, during which he requested that Luton accompany him to the meeting with Belcher later in the day. Luton told Rhodes she was unavailable for two weeks, and advised him that Lickfold would be an adequate representative for him at the meeting. Because he discovered that Lickfold knew the subject matter of the meeting and had not been honest with him, Rhodes was not interested in being represented by Lickfold at the meeting and preferred to wait for Luton to be available.
Rhodes had two conversations with Belcher on April 10 prior to the meeting. In the first, he told Belcher that Luton would be unavailable for two weeks. Belcher told Rhodes to find out if there were some alternatives to a two-week delay or to pick a different representative. In the second, Rhodes told Belcher again that Luton would be unavailable for two weeks. Belcher responded by saying that he would not delay the meeting and asked Rhodes to identify another representative. After hearing that Belcher would not delay the meeting, Rhodes testified that he called a Wenatchee law firm and was told that it would be best if he didn't answer any of the employer's questions without a representative present.
At no time did Rhodes or the union ask the employer for a postponement of the meeting, other than to request that it be delayed two weeks so Luton could attend. Despite his preference otherwise, Rhodes was accompanied by Lickfold when the meeting with Belcher and Human Resources Director LeAnne Olson began at 4:00 P.M. on April 10.
The meeting took on a rancorous tone shortly after it began, with Rhodes refusing to answer investigatory questions asked by Belcher, who told Rhodes that his failure to answer questions would lead to him being placed on administrative leave while Belcher finished the investigation. Rhodes then embarked upon a profanity-laced tirade while turning in his keys and subsequently storming out of Belcher's office.
The union argues that the right to request a union representative was personal to Rhodes, and that Lickfold had no independent right to attend the investigatory meeting, unless Rhodes had requested her presence as his representative. The employer counters that it committed no unfair labor practice when it refused to postpone Rhodes' investigatory interview because his requested representative was not available.
At issue in this case is Rhodes' request for a union representative, specifically his desire to delay the meeting in order to have Luton represent him instead of Lickfold. The union bases its argument on Methow Valley School District, Decision 8400-A (PECB, 2004), which held that unions have no independent right to representation at investigatory meetings and that employees must initiate their rights of representation under Weingarten. The union's position is that Lickfold had no independent right to attend the meeting because Rhodes did not request her presence.
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) precedent set forth in Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Los Angeles, 227 NLRB 1276 (1977), and relied upon in Roadway Express, 246 NLRB 1127 (1979) and Pacific Gas & Electric Co., 253 NLRB 1143 (1981), runs counter to the union's contention by establishing that an employee's exercise of Weingarten rights is not without limitation.
The Board held in Coca-Cola that, where another union representative was available but the employee did not request him, the employer did not interfere with employee rights when it proceeded with the investigatory interview. The Board also wrote that Weingarten doesn't state that employee interests can only be safeguarded by the presence of a specific representative; the focus of Weingarten is an employee's right to the presence of a representative designated by the union to represent all employees. Furthermore, the Board stated that the right to hold interviews of this type without delay is a legitimate employer prerogative. A Commission examiner went down a similar path in Cowlitz County, Decision 7037 (PECB, 2000), stating that an employee cannot make unreasonable demands for the presence of a particular union representative.
From the time that Rhodes received a memo informing him of a meeting with John Belcher to the moment of Rhodes' expletive-laced exit from that meeting, the employer met its responsibility for heeding Rhodes' Weingarten rights. Belcher's memo stated that the meeting would include discussion of a potential disciplinary action, and it encouraged Rhodes to have a union representative at the meeting. On the day of the meeting, after Rhodes indicated that his desired union representative, Karen Luton, was unavailable for two weeks, Belcher gave Rhodes the opportunity to provide alternatives to a two-week delay or find another representative.
Rhodes did not provide alternatives, and was told by Luton that the union president, Melissa Lickfold, would be an adequate representative for the meeting. Instead of answering questions as he and Lickfold had discussed before the meeting, Rhodes began a tirade against his union and employer and eventually left the meeting without answering the questions posed to him. Rhodes was placed on administrative leave. The employer did not violate Rhodes' Weingarten rights in connection with his investigatory interview.
1. Omak School District is a public employer within the meaning of RCW 41.56.030(1).
2. Public School Employees of Washington is the exclusive bargaining representative of a unit of para-educators, transportation, food service, custodial and maintenance/grounds keeping employees of the Omak School District. The employer and union were parties to a collective bargaining agreement effective from September 1, 2006, through August 31, 2009.
3. Ronald Joe Rhodes was a custodial employee in the Omak School District for 19 years. He was terminated in May 2009.
4. On April 9, 2009, Rhodes received a memo from Omak High School Principal John Belcher requesting his presence for a meeting at 4:00 P.M. on April 10, 2009. The memo indicated that the meeting would include discussion of a potential disciplinary action.
5. In the time between receipt of the memo and the meeting, Rhodes consulted with PSE field representative Karen Luton and a Wenatchee law firm.
6. During a phone conversation with Luton, Rhodes was told that she would be unavailable to represent him for two weeks.
7. When informed that Luton would be unavailable to represent Rhodes for two weeks, Belcher told Rhodes that he would not delay the meeting and asked Rhodes to identify another representative.
8. The meeting began at 4:00 P.M., on April 10, 2009, with Rhodes and Belcher in attendance, along with Human Resources Director LeAnne Olson and Melissa Lickfold, the union president.
9. Without answering any questions from Belcher regarding theft at the Omak High School student store, Rhodes embarked upon a profanity-laced tirade and stormed out of Belcher's office.
10. Rhodes was placed on administrative leave.
1. The Public Employment Relations Commission has jurisdiction in this matter under Chapter 41.56 RCW and Chapter 391-45 WAC.
2. On the basis of the foregoing Findings of Fact, Public School Employees of Washington failed to sustain its burden of proof to establish that the Omak School District interfered with Ronald Joe Rhodes' right to union representation during an investigatory interview. The employer did not violate RCW 41.56.140(1).
The complaint charging unfair labor practices filed in the above-captioned matters is dismissed.
ISSUED at Olympia, Washington, this 14th day of May, 2010.
J. MARTIN SMITH, Examiner
This order will be the final order of the
agency unless a notice of appeal is filed
with the Commission under WAC 391-45-350.
[1] At hearing and in its post-hearing brief, the union did not pursue its complaint that the employer interfered with employee rights by threats of reprisal or force or promises of benefit by inquiring into a conversation between Rhodes and a union representative.

To celebrate the construction of two trail bridges connecting key segments of the American Tobacco Trail (an ECG designated trail), ECGA is hosting a bike and hike event to attract new users to the trail and demonstrate the utility of a continuous 22-mile trail corridor.
Sunday October 25th at 2:30 pm hikers will stride north on the ATT from Herndon City Park at 511 Scott King road in Durham just as bikers head south from the same point. The plan is to have the two groups reconvene 1.5 hours (and 22 miles) later over refreshments to hear about future trail efforts and to compare notes on what they have experienced.
Ever since the first major section of the ATT opened in Durham in 2000, the trail has provided a growing resource for non-motorized travel. Bike commuters, horse back riders, hikers, nature lovers and fitness buffs have all found homes on the ATT. However, the ATT had long been segmented at Northeast and Panther creeks by swampy arms of Jordan Lake. Bridges that were build for trains had been decommissioned. With their planking removed the bridges had become dead ends on the ATT.
But thanks to tireless efforts by many parties including NC DOT, Chatham County, the Triangle Rails to Trails Conservancy and the Town of Cary, the bridges have been rebuilt. Through travel will very soon be possible! ECG members look to be some of the first to cross these bridges and begin a new chapter of modern transportation and recreation in the Triangle.
Come join us!
Find out more about the ATT at triangletrails.org and find out more about the event by contacting Steve Bevington, ECGA Regional Coordinator, at (919) 638-6250 and/or at firstname.lastname@example.com

Common interview Qs
Interview question - February 13, 2008
I'm a bit stuck on how to answer these interview questons:
- 1. How would I describe myself?
- 2. What are my strengths and weaknesses?
- 3. What do you have to offer our company?
- 4. Why should we give you this job?
View other questions
These questions are really common and will come up in most interviews.
If you take a look at Jacqueline Gold and Keith Potts' videos on the website, you might find them really useful.
They cover these questions and say what they are looking for in your answer.
Hope that helps.

Exhaust note
Hi guys,
I've been wanting to upgrade my exhaust for a while but I'm waiting for someone to release a descent tune to do all of my mods at the same time ( down pipe, exhaust, tune, and hopefully a CAI) I've been thinking about swapping the center silencer (resonator) for a crossover x-pipe and leave the stock exhaust.
I just want a more aggressive sound while I wait for either Cobb or Dinan to release their tune. My question is, do guys you know of anyone with this configuration and if you do what was their impression of the mod?
I saw a threads of members doing this to their 6 series but I haven't seen anyone doing this on our f10's.
What do you guys think of this swap, is it worth it or should I leave it stock till is mod time?
thanks guys.

2002 Honda Odyssey ELX from North America
General Comments:
We just purchased this minivan from a dealer. It was a trade in from another customer who stated "the transmission was going out", but when the mechanic inspected it, they could see or hear nothing wrong... but listed it at 1/2 book value for a quick turnaround sale. We drove it hard on a long test; it drives perfect and passed another mechanical test.
After reading all of the reviews, it seems that you either got the lemon or you didn't. This transmission was never replaced; that we can see from Honda or mechanic's records. We are hoping that it was one of the lucky ones that made it past 60K miles before blowing. We are planning to keep the car; just seeking out some happy owners who have had theirs, to see how high the mileage has gotten without replacing the tranny.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Nanosphere DNA Test Using Gold Nanoparticles
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted June 23, 2007 in DNA Inventions and Gadgets, DNA Lab Talk, DNA Testing
A biotech company in Illinois is hoping they have the Midas touch. Nanosphere has created DNA probes made of gold nanoparticles. The Verigene System is meant to "make molecular diagnostic testing simple, accessible, and flexible, but still provide the high sensitivity, accuracy, and rapid multiplex target detection required by these applications." The benchtop system is currently under FDA review and incoporates the Verigene Reader, Verigene Processor, and Verigene Test Cartridges. Each analysis costs about $30 and takes 90 minutes to complete compared with other commercial tests which run up to $500 and require several weeks from start to finish.
The analysis of DNA or RNA targets follows this procedure:
1. Genomic DNA is loaded into a single-use "Test Cartridge." Sonication shears the genomic DNA into 300 to 500 base-pair fragments so that they're small enough to be probed.
2. The genomic DNA fragments hybridize (stick) to capture probes that are attached to a solid support base. Then, gold nanoparticles with oligonucleotide probes attached are added.
3. The entire complex is washed and gold nanoparticle probes that did not find a complementary genomic DNA fragment are removed.
4. Elemental silver is deposited onto the gold nanoparticle probes which hybridized to a complementary DNA fragment. This amplifies the signal.
A video is also available for viewing.
According to Nanosphere CEO Bill Moffitt, approximately 35 million tests can be performed using the same amount of gold as the average wedding band. Nanosphere technology can be used in genetic diagnostics, pharmacogenetics, infectious diseases, and oncology.

At $30 per test, tat $400/test with a system over $500K, can you feel the difference?
But let's see the menu: CF, FII, FV, MTHFR, Warfarins. Where are infectious disease tests? we need a low-cost respiratory virus panel on the Verigene. Why not MRSA too?
Ok, Ok Mr Nanosphere, they are presumably in dev., but let us know when it will hit the market.
Give them a chance! It's new technology and costs will undoubtedly drop if it's good enough to be adopted widely. But if not, then so it goes….
[...] be soon be aquired by a much larger biotech, such as roche, Abbott, or Becton, Dickinson. I first reviewed Nanosphere's technology in June. Since then, the company has obtained FDA approval for a warfarin (coumadin) genetic test [...]

Is this normal for 9 weeks old GSD puppy? (Warning, Graphic Pics)
Hi guys,
I brought my puppy to the vet this morning and got his 9 weeks old shot and De-wormed pill. Later on tonight, I found this <pictures> in his pooOOp. Is it normal?
It looks like a worm or some kind of virus, I have no clue. I also touch it, it felt like a rubber.
And yes, I washed my hands.
Regards, Kevin
Those are round worms in his poop - so the wormer is working. Very normal for a 9 week old to be pooping out roundworms after being wormed. Might still see them in a couple more bowel movements, but they should be gone after that. ( I added the warning to the subject line, I've seen plenty of roundworms, but the close-up pics you posted were a bit unexpected).
icky....even though he may be clear after the first treatment, you may have to treat every two weeks for a few treatments. Roundworms are common in all puppies.
Take stool samples in every time you go for his puppy boosters. One other thing, don't let the vet give the rabies vax with the other puppy shots. They should be spaced out by 2 weeks. Dr. Jean Dodds' Pet Health Resource Blog | 2013 and 2014 Canine Vaccination Protocol - W. Jean Dodds, DVM
Definitely wash your hands and completely dispose of the poop. Children can be infected by round worms, so you may want to be careful with your children around the puppy for a few days.
i would invest in some of the latex gloves we use in the hospital from a pharmacy or an autoparts store for cleaning up poop. still wash after.

Man, got a hankering for spaghetti all of the sudden.
That is really bad case worms you need really good wormer from vet as that's seriously big for pup I'd say never been wormed by breeder but can make pup very poorly if not treated asap
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
as noted - it is a roundworm....get some meds from the vet if he has not yet been wormed....
Used to be that wormer was given 2 days in a row, then repeated 10 days or 2 weeks later for 2 days....the cycle of egg to adult worm are treated....if I see worms in a young pup after the first dose of wormer, I do 3 days in a row, wait 10, reworm - then do it again a third time after another 10 days....
All pups are born with worms they say....these are the easiest to treat .....the big thing is to not let infested feces sit on the ground as the eggs can be deposited via contact, then picked up again by the dog and he gets reinfested
Please......Quit quoting the photos! yuk! We don't need to see them over and over

CIPESA's reflections on the Third Africa Internet Governance Forum, 2014
With the internet projected to reach almost 20 per cent of the Africa population in 2014, it becomes important to discuss modalities under which it should remain an open and reliable tool for development. It is with this background that Africa Internet stakeholders gathered in Abuja, Nigeria, July 10 -14, 2014 to deliberate on key internet governance issues affecting the continent.
PROTEGE-QV: "Third African Internet Governance Forum a success"
From July 10 to 12 2014, Abuja, the federal capital of Nigeria, hosted the third African governance forum. This is a United Nations led activity initiated in 2006 as part of the Millennium Development Goals.

A municipal board in Dublin has authorized massive expansion of the city's Jewish museum despite opposition by many residents.
The Irish Jewish Museum requested permission to demolish five houses, including an old synagogue, the Irish Independent reported Monday.
Local residents had expressed concern about traffic congestion in the area as the museum's visitor numbers are projected to increase five-fold to 50,000 a year.
Residents have set up a group called "Save the Streets of Portobello" to lead the campaign against the museum's expansion. On Monday, the group's Facebook page was updated with a message reading: "We are devastated. The inspectors report is due on Thursday."
Residents also said they are baffled that the plans got the go-ahead, saying many experts have called the scheme "totally flawed."
The planning board ruled that the plan will not injure the residential amenities and one of the conditions includes the reinstatement of the original synagogue interior.
The Irish Jewish Museum management said in a statement that they are very pleased with the decision, with board member Edwin Alkin stating that the plans are necessary for the museum to become an "educational center and beacon for tolerance."
Museum management also said they wish to maintain a good relationship with the local community.
The museum was opened in June 1985 inside a former synagogue that was built in 1917 in the Portobello area, which used to be home to a large Jewish population. Many Dublin Jews have since moved to suburban areas or emigrated.

identified cases. With a product design that has no testability in mind, this becomes challenging.
Some kinds of behaviours are notoriously difficult to reproduce and hence difficult to test. They include behaviours that takes time, behaviours are non-deterministic (or so it seems), behaviours that go across threads, processes and machines, behaviours that involve hardware, behaviours that involve large data sets, behaviours that involve concurrency, synchronization, and locking, asynchronous behaviours and more.
When coaching teams about testing, one of the first thing I do is to evaluate the products testability and strive towards what I call "Testability Coverage". This means identifying the different kinds of tests and enhancing the product and its test environment tool cover all these kinds of tests. It is only after testability coverage is achieved that you can write automated tests and there after you can consider how test data coverage can be achieved.
Testability is a quality of the product that measures how easy it is to test it:
- How easy it is to control the behaviour of the product - controllability
- How easy it is to observe the behaviour of the product - observe-ability
- How easy it is to isolate the problem if one is detected - diagnose-ability
Testability is also a quality of the test cases
- How easy it is to prepare a test case?
- How easy it is to prepare the test data, test scenario/script?
- How quickly can each test case run?
- How robust are test cases to minor changes and noise in the test environment?
Testability is also the organization of test cases and test results?
- How organized are the test cases? Can they be found easily?
- How easy it is to evaluate test coverage (from various perspectives)?
- How easy it is to interpret the results of test execution?
- How easy to infer the quality of the system from test results?
As you can see, testing is a challenging endeavour. I do encourage true developers (people who love code) to start thinking like real testers, to explore the test data and to build testability into their products and test environment. When developers love to test and put on their thinking (testing) hat, you will see a remarkable change in your product's quality. I get an indescribable sense of pleasure when I see developers write their own tests and they get it. They do not complain, they welcome the new challenge. It is like an ocean of knowledge opening up for them to devour. They ask questions that challenge me and we solve them together. This is the kind of coaching I like to do as opposed to playing the role of a mother who nags and says "please test".
5. I motivate this change by getting the developers to look at the results of code coverage tools. These tools show which line of code is not executed, and encourage the developers to think why? And later think about how to control code behaviour to execute the line they want. This also helps developers write better code, which is also a very important aspect of quality. This is not something a typical naive tester is capable of. Mindset: Effective Separation of Concerns
I have earlier mentioned about the debates between proponents of big up-front design and versus those of emergent design (which is sometimes mistaken as no up-front design at all). Of course, I believe some initial analysis and design is necessary and this also has to be followed by regularly revisiting the design for further improvement.
But whatever your stand is, you want to eventually get a good design. So, what is

Black & Decker (BDK ), a leader in power tools and home-improvement gear, has recently stirred, whizzing from 40 on Sept. 30 to 47.81 on Oct. 29. Robert Stovall of Wood Asset Management, which owns shares, says some pros are starting to recognize that B&D is an "undervalued and ignored blue-chip." Despite the rise, he sees the stock surging to 58 in a year. Stovall notes that some analysts lifted 2003 and 2004 earnings forecasts after B&D handily beat their third-quarter estimates
The Street had been down on B&D amid doubts over the strength of consumer spending. But B&D's top brands, says Stovall, are going gangbusters at Home Depot and Lowe's, despite fierce rivals -- including Home Depot's private-label tools. Michael Rehaut of J.P. Morgan rates B&D "outperform." Brisk sales growth, he says, plus $120 million in savings from a restructuring are exceeding his expectations. So he has raised his 2004 estimate from $4.20 a share to $4.50 -- vs. the $4.26 Street consensus. His 2003 forecast is $3.95, vs. 2002's $3.23. If he's on the mark, then B&D is trading at 10.4 times 2004 earnings, vs. 17 for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, neither the sources cited in Inside Wall Street nor their firms hold positions in the stocks under discussion. Similarly, they have no investment banking or other financial relationships with them.

The 2012 London Olympics beginning July 27 is expected to be one of the biggest sports extravaganzas of the decade. This Olympics has been dubbed as the 'Social Media Olympics'. This is going to be the first Olympics that will have the largest number of fans following their favorite athlete on social networking sites.
Popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are going to be the most accessed during the event. Fans from all over the world are hoping to interact with their favorite athletes through social media. Knowing the importance of social media in 2012s Olympic event, the Olympic Committee has come up with Olympic Athletes Club, a site that focuses on athletes and social media connections.
The site integrates social media sites that include Facebook, Google Plus, Foursquare, Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter. It's been only 60 days since the site has been rendered active and already Instagram's Athlete account on this site has an astonishing 30,000 followers. More than 2000 athletes have signed up on this site. All an individual has to do is punch in the name of his/her favorite athlete and their profile page appears.

This is an outstanding web site set up by Fr. Jerry Novotny, OMI, a missionary in Japan. The purpose of the site is to promote a "Culture of Life" in which human freedom will find its authentic meaning by joining forces with truth, life and love. Among its many excellent resources, the site features a number of libraries of resources on life issues, each of which includes documents, commentary, homilies, papers, and links.
Unfortunately the site is blemished by the presence of three hundred articles written by Fr. Ronald Rolheiser.

It's time to chess d-d-d-d-duel!
While I may never understand how to play chess (or do so well, at any rate), that's never hindered my fascination with ornamental chess pieces. And MegaHouse's latest offering is a double whammy since these blind-boxed chess figurines also happen to be of Fate/Zero characters.
Saber, Irisviel, Rider, Archer (Gilgamesh), Berserker, and Lancer are the six possible figures you could get from an individual box although a box should get you a set. While I'm not sure which characters are supposed to represent which pieces (for instance, is Saber a King, a Queen, or just a Knight?) although they're listed as having white and black variations so the characters themselves could play for either side. Not that there are necessarily sides in a Holy Grail War.
The figurines themselves vary in quality rather greatly. Saber, for instance, strikes me as being unbelievably bland in comparison to the previously seen slew of merchandise available. Irisviel also is a little unflattering. Archer/Gilgamesh is probably the big winner, as he rests on a throne surrounded by a tiny portion of his awesome armory. I'd say he's the biggest must-own from the set and would make a great king. While Rider also looks strong, that seems to be the only pose we ever see the character in. Neither Lancer nor Berserker really set themselves apart. While the detail and paint is still good, the poses are unbelievably bland.
But what think you, dear readers? Do these pieces suit your fancy? And why is it that we never see custom Reversi pieces... oh, right, because they'd have to flip. Anyway, you can expect to see these in March.
