"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

My grandmother made one of these when I was a little girl - and that would be about 1965! I love seeing these things come back again!

I made one very similar to this when I was in elementary school (early 60's) and my mom used it many years as part of Christmas decor. I now am going to make another one this year! Thanks for the great memory and bringing back that idea to me! Added note, we used a round styrofoam form about 12" inches to place the tree on which made it easy to move around.

Really cute idea! When I was young, we made starburst Christmas ornaments, but used sweet gum balls instead of styrofoam. Sweet gum trees are prolific in the south, and their seed pods are round balls that have holes where the seeds have dropped out. If one has access to them, it will make this already inexpensive craft even more thrifty!

OMG, where to start?! At the beginning they show Grace and Rigsby in bed together being woken up by their cell phones for a case. Grace is so cute, she's worried that Lisbon will know that Rigsby is there if she answers her phone in bed with him. At the crime scene (minus Lisbon which I thought was weird) Jane comments that Rigsby smells like lanvender or something like that, then as they are leaving he asks Grace if that is Lanvender she's wearing. Clearly he has figured them out.
As everyone is coming back to the CBI, Cho, Jane, Lisbon, Secretary chick walk into Bosco's office only to find everyone shot with Bosco being the only one still alive. Major freakout by everyone, Jane is in shock, and Lisbon is terrified Bosco won't make it and the secretary is screaming in the background. After Bosco is taken to the hospital, Lisbon becomes concerned that Jane is in shock, but he deflects her saying she should get herself cleaned up (She is covered in Bosco's blood). I gotta say I'm more impressed with Robin Tunney's acting each episode, when she was washing her shirt in the bathroom, I thought she was going to throwup. More investigating stuff and they find Red John is behind it because Bosco found some evidence that could possibly lead to Red John. Jane wants to take Bosco off the morphine so he will wakeup and tell them what he has learned. Lisbon walks in and is angry with him and calls him a cold bastard. She refuses to believe that Bosco may die. As they retrace his investigation Jane finds himself two steps behind Red John. Evidence gone and destroyed, but they did find Red Johns accomplise, the secretary (shocker) who shot the team and is on her way to the hospital to finish the job. Lisbon and Grace stop her and Lisbon is dangerously close to killing her until Bosco wakes up and distracts her. Jane interrogates the secretary but she doesn't really give anything away, just that she loves Red John and he is a great man. She says that Jane is a lot like Red John, he sees people for who they are. It was kind of unsettling when she compared them. They really are kind of alike, yin to yang sort of thing. Jane does have a dark side, but he usually directs it at criminals and such (like the biker). She reveals that Red John wanted Bosco and his team dead so Jane could have the case back and that Red John missed him. Not much later the secretary is dead (again shocker), Red John killed her.
Back at the hospital Lisbon is told that Bosco isn't going to make it. They talk and he reveals that he loves her and Lisbon (crying) says she loves him too, to which he says he really loves her. She says she knows but doesn't comment more on it. Bosco asks for Jane. Bosco tells Jane to kill Red John when they find him, not to arrest him. Janes says that's the plan. Then Bosco tells him something we don't hear, obviously about Lisbon as Jane looks up at her through the window. Lisbon is confused as if she knows they are talking about her, Bosco dies shortly after. We really see Jane and Lisbon in alot of pain in this episode and it's funny because they both are incapable from seeking comfort from anyone, even each other. They stand alone. Later Lisbon asks what Bosco said to Jane, he replies that he told him to look after her. Bosco has always hinted that Lisbon cares for Jane more than she should, I just wonder if he let the cat out of the bag before he died. All in all a great episode, but we really are no closer to finding Red John. As usual one step forward, two steps back.

BeschreibungThis is an English translation of Tutor for Playing the Flute (1791) by Johann George Tromlitz. The most explicit of the eighteenth-century tutors for flute-playing, it now serves as a record of instrumental practice as well as a useful guide to the performance of German classical music. The Tutor covers all aspects of flute playing, including intonation, articulation, flute maintenance, posture and breathing, dynamics, ornaments, musical style, cadenzas, and the construction of the flute. This edition will be an indispensable manual for players of baroque and modern flutes, and the information it contains will be invaluable for all musicians, students, and specialists interested in the historically informed performance of German classical music. The text is annotated with critical notes and all of the original music examples are newly printed in modern notation. The volume also contains a fingering chart and a historical introduction.
InhaltsverzeichnisTranslator's note; Introduction; Foreword; 1. The flute and its character; 2. Holding the flute, and the embouchure; 3. Fingering; 4. The notes and rests, their values and denominations, and the other musical signs; 5. Time-signatures, and how the notes are divided and counted in them; the beat itself, or counting time according to an appointed tempo; 6. Tone and pure intonation; 7. Modern key-signatures; 8. The articulation proper to this instrument, or the means of governing the wind suitably, as well in slow as in moderately quick movements; also called the single tongue; 9. The technique for executing fast and very fast passages clearly and roundly; also, though improperly, called the double-tongue; 10. The ornaments; 11. The trill; 12. Fermatas and cadenzas; 13. The taking of breath in flute-playing; 14. The discretionary ornaments; or how to vary a simple melody according to the rules of harmony, and to use these variations in a good and suitable way appropriate to the material; 15. Summary of the whole, together with a few remarks for pupils and masters.
Pressestimmen"This translation is a valuable resource for any wind player, musician or interested reader. We are indebted to Ardal Powell." Jean Kershaw, Early Music Newsletter "Ardel Powell's translation of Johann George Tromlitz's Detailed and Thorough Tutor for Playing the Flute...presents an accessible view of musical performance in 1791. It is valuable to modern flutists, one-keyed spcialists, and scholars and performers of late eighteenth-century music. Further, Tromlitz's strong opinions on a variety of musically related topics permit us to share in the life of one of Germany's most prominent flutists, teachers, and instrument designers. Powell's translation is in a comfortable, informal, and tightly-paced style; it is quite readable and very clear..." Leslie Ellen Brown, The Eighteenth Century

The tropics are regions of severe seasonal droughts. Until recently tropical `dry forests' were more widespread than rain forests, but have received scant attention. This volume provides a review of dry forests, including regional overviews, neotropical biogeography, palaeontology, plant ecology (structure, physiology, phenology, reproduction and herbivory), and ecosystem functions (biomass, nutrient cycling, below-ground dynamics and trace emission). Exploitation schemes and non-timber products are also surveyed.

Well, That Figures.
I typically only root for the shitty baseball team that Washington DC currently has custodial possession of when they are in position to assist the Cardinals (and they're in need of more help than the Ex-pos can muster this year). But I was sort of hoping they'd do well tonight, but who was I fucking kidding. Of course those turds gave up the record-breaker to the Asterix. Bums!
Hey, Mike Bascik! Enjoy being a footnote to history!

ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher said he believes his team was better at the end of 2013 than it was at the end of 2012.
Fisher also said that his team is closer to overcoming its NFC West division foes.
"I think we're closing the gap," Fisher said. "We're not there yet, but I think with a year of improvement we'll be much closer. Anything can happen. All three teams play really good defense, and we've got to play better offense and score more points to compete with them. I think defensively we can compete with these teams."
Before the season, it looked entirely possible the Rams could have a worse record than it did in 2012 but still be a better team. With a little time to reflect, I believe that is indeed the case for the 7-9 Rams.
But Fisher's contention that the Rams "closed the gap" on Seattle, San Francisco and upstart Arizona is much more debatable.
Of the many obstacles facing the Rams when it comes to returning to playoff contention, none are more troubling than the fact that they must play six games every season against the Seahawks, 49ers and Cardinals.
Seattle and San Francisco have established themselves as perennial powerhouses with dominant defenses and talented young quarterbacks. Both teams are in the playoffs and finished in the top four of the ESPN.com Power Rankings for the season.
Until the Seahawks and 49ers have to pony up for lucrative contract extensions for quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick, it's unlikely either team will fall from its perch.
Of course, Seattle and San Francisco finished ahead of the Rams in 2012, so for them to do it again isn't really alarming.
What's more concerning for the Rams is that they actually fell back a spot in 2013, as their division record dropped from 4-1-1 a year ago to 1-5. In the process, the Cardinals claimed the role as the "other" tough out in the division, a job previously occupied by the Rams and one some expected them to fill again this season.
"It just goes to show every time we face [a division opponent] it's not going to be an easy matchup," defensive end Robert Quinn said. "They have had the hot hand. San Fran and Seattle have been in the playoffs. It just goes to show you our division is no longer a pushover."
Of that, there is no doubt. The NFC West staked a strong claim to being the league's best division as its four teams combined for a 42-22 record on the season. More impressive, the division was a whopping 30-10 in games outside of the division.
The biggest difference in a division that as recently as 2010 had a 7-9 champion is the emergence of physical, dominant defenses. All four teams finished in the top 15 in yards per game allowed and Arizona, San Francisco and Seattle represented three of the top six.
In addition, none of the four teams finished worse than the Rams' 13th in scoring defense. Only Arizona didn't finish among the top eight teams in turnover margin.
That's a lot to overcome for the Rams, but it's a challenge they embrace. Not that they have a choice in the matter.
"It's the best division in football, I think, but it's a great opportunity for us," quarterback Kellen Clemens said. "This organization is heading in the right direction and we will continue to compete in this division and hopefully end up in one of those one or two maybe three spots next year that are hopefully still playing in January."
While it's hard to buy into the idea that the Rams closed the gap in the division given the results, it's also not as clear cut as the record might indicate. Starting quarterback Sam Bradford only played in two of the six divisional meetings. He led a big comeback in the opener against Arizona but struggled mightily in an embarrassing loss to the Niners.
Both of those games came before the Rams began to form an offensive identity. When division opponents took away the run on the Rams' second tour against them, the Rams were left with no answers on offense, a problem that Bradford likely would have remedied to some extent.
As Fisher points out, for the Rams to make up the rest of the ground between them and the rest of the division, they'll have to find ways to score more points. That means this offseason carries even more weight than usual given the Rams' lofty draft positioning.
"You draft basically, from the standpoint where we are, from need but also you have to take strong consideration competing in the division," Fisher said.
Although opponents outscored the Rams by 74 total points in their six divisional games, the yardage totals indicate that the gap may be closer than the scores of the final three meetings. But the Rams were also minus-five in turnover margin and committed 57 penalties in those games.
"It doesn't make it harder to improve because that's on us," defensvie end Chris Long said. "But it definitely makes it harder to win the division. That's our goal and if we are going to win the division we are going to have to beat some of the best teams in the league. We are not quite there yet, but we're confident we'll be there very soon."
Since Fisher and general manager Les Snead arrived after the 2011 season, they've quietly targeted 2014 as a potential breakthrough season. For that to happen, they'll have to find a way to reduce the gap, no matter how big it actually is, to nothing.

Nephews, Cousins . . . Who Cares? Detecting kin doesn't mean favoring them
By Susan Milius, 15:48 PM April 15, 2008
New tests of the amazing nose power of Belding's ground squirrels have solved a 25-year-old puzzle about doing dangerous favors for relatives.
Classic studies beginning in 1977 showed that female Belding's ground squirrels sound alarms or defend burrows to help their mothers, sisters, or daughters. Yet cousins and extended family get no more assistance than strangers do.
Are the ground squirrels unable to tell who their cousins are? Or do they just not go to the trouble of aiding them?

2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Questions
Get answers to questions about your 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
It leaked antifreeze on to the floor of my truck
check engine light on. code reader said misfire of cylinder 6 so replaced plug, wire, and cap. reset and light came back on. now engine shuts off after warm-up.
My truck started giving me some problems. I was told it could be the computer because some things stop working such as my heater, air, and speed hand. Is this possible?
The problem occurs over time I drive with A/C on.
Run rough it ran fine the night before and when I got up to go to work the next day it run like the timing was off
I can turn to the right . but not to the left
Sometimes when I start the truck I get the air bag and break light on. The electric windows and fan motor (in the truck) will not work. If I drive it, it will not shift out of first gear. If I shout it off and restart sometimes this fixes it. ??? got me - now what?? no number when I do a computer check.
I'm trying to fix my truck and parts don't match. Example is the ashtray broke. I had to buy one for 1994-97 to fit. 2000 ashtray completely different. Have same problem with seat covers, lights etc..
let cool off tried to drive still goes up to red line 260 degrees
I've changed the coil and the pick up coil,didnt fix
Code pops up at random times. Engine idol is rough, stalls at stop lights.
I got truck they said freeze plugs were bad drop transmission.. Put freeze plugs .and knew starter ..and put it nearly all back together... Left 2screws off the transmission... And tried to see if it would crank... But just makes like a whine

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Other trails around Trial of a Hundred Giants?
I'm planning a trip to Sequoia for the 4th of July weekend. It could be a 3 or 4 day trip.
I want to see the trees at the Trail of a Hundred Giants. I understand this is a very short walk. Are there other longer trails around this area that you would recommend to fill up the remaining 2 or 3 days?
@ngatelLocale: Southern California
Trail of a Hundred Giants is a Walmart Parking Lot on holidays. But it is worth a stop by in you are in the area. There are several other Sequoia Groves in the area too.
Here is what I would do. Go see the Giants. Then drive to the Lloyd Meadows Trailhead and hike down to the Forks of the Kern into the Golden Trout Wilderness. Do your 3 to 4 day loop there. Wilderness Permit required. If you fish, bring a pole always good fishing on this section of the Kern.
On your trip back, stop by Lower Pepermint Creek campground. We will be in the big white tent trailer. It will be our base camp for a week. If we are at the campsite, we will have a cold beer or Margarita available for you. We go there every 4th of July for a week or two, because there aren't many campers here. My wife doesn't backpack, so we do day hikes in the area.
I will give you directions to the Kern River Slides for your drive back toward Johnsondale. You can stop there and refresh.
Hello Nick. Thanks for the reply.
I did some research on your suggestions and it looks like it's exactly what I was looking for: a nice 25 mile loop around the area.
I'll look for your campground on my way back and might just take you up on your offer of a nice drink.
Once again, thanks for the help.

Today I was an official vendor.
Yes I know it's an awful picture but in all that light behind my table is beach.
Could the location be any better?
Here's the view behind my table, deck, sand and water:
I brought lots of signs and caddies:
And terry cloth pouches:
I did sell a good amount for the 3 hours we were there.
And I met some very nice ladies, got a few custom orders so all went well.
But honestly the location was enough for me.

UMC board meets to discuss possible tax increase
EL PASO, Texas - The University Medical Center board is meeting this afternoon to take action on next year's budget.
A hospital district tax increase looks to be in the works.
UMC is dealing with the financial fallout at El Paso Children's Hospital right next door.
Last Friday, the County hospital announced it was laying off 56 employees.
The board says there's no way Children's Hospital will pay any of what it owes UMC this year, and because of that, UMC faces a $60 million deficit this year.
So, administrators are proposing to raise part of the tax rate by almost 8 percent to help cover the shortfall.
The board decided to take no action.
Right now taxpayers pay UMC about 21 cents per $100 of home valuation.
That's after the board increased the rate just last year as well.
The owner of an average-valued home pays about $29 per year right now.
UMC says, an 8 percent increase to the maintenance and operations side of the budget would give them $88 million, about $6.4 million more than the current tax rate.
They project that a tax hike, layoffs and attrition, benefits cuts and mandatory furloughs will get the hospital back to $23 million cash on hand by 2015.
The board also is asking the County to approve a $25 million line of credit to help it get through this budget year.
They go before Commissioners Court on Aug. 4.
UMC CEO Jim Valenti told the board this community needs UMC to be successful and he's hoping this will work

|First ascent

|Bells Line of Road
Mount Banks, a mountain within the Explorers Range of the Blue Mountains Range that is a spur off the Great Dividing Range, is located within the Blue Mountains National Park, approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) west of Sydney in New South Wales, Australia. Mount Banks is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the nearest residential area, Mount Tomah, has an elevation of 1,049 metres (3,442 ft)[1] AMSL, and can be accessed relatively easily via the Bells Line of Road.
Mount Banks is part of the Explorers Range, which is located along the northern escarpment of the Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains National Park. The Explorers Range starts at Bells Line of Road and extends along the northern edge of the Grose Valley. Mount Banks is the first noticeable peak along the range and is found about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Bells Line of Road. It was named Mount Banks in 1804 by the explorer George Caley, who had worked for the botanist Sir Joseph Banks. Caley who was the first European to reach Mount Banks.[2]
The distinctive thing about Mount Banks is the way the terrain and vegetation change radically approaching the top of the mountain. For the first two-thirds of the walk, the terrain is the standard sandstone of the Sydney and Blue Mountains regions, with a thin, rough scrub. After this, however, there is a basalt cap[3] which gives rise to a richly vegetated environment with grass and a canopy. Views can be had on the lower slopes of the mountains but there is no view at the top, unless the walker edges down the slope towards the escarpment, at which point there are views of the Grose Valley.[4]
An unsealed road goes from Bells Line of Road to a picnic area about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the junction. At this point, vehicular access comes to an end. From the picnic area, a walking track makes its way approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the top of Mount Banks, where there is a trigonometric station. This is 1,062 metres (3,484 ft) above sea level.[5] From this point on, there is a fire trail that follows the Explorers Range before terminating above Zobel Gully. According to the topographic map, there is an abandoned mine in Zobel Gully, but there is no track to it.[5]
The area is popular for bushwalking, with extensive views of the Grose Valley from the lower slopes of the mountain and from the fire trail where it goes close to Banks Wall, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of the mountain. Photography is also popular because of the extensive views. There is no authorised camp site at Mt. Banks and camping at this fragile world heritage site is strictly prohibited.

If you want something more creative than something found online, you most likely will need to create your own ideas on making unique mailbox. Painting the post is one option to set yours apart, but go beyond simply painting it a different color. Add flamingo legs and top the post with a pink mailbox and a flamingo head to create a bird mailbox. Paint lips and teeth on the ledge where the mailbox sits, so it looks like your post is eating your mailbox. If you can carve, sculpt or weld, let you artistic streak go wild. Sculpt a large hand and have the mailbox rest on top of it. Carve a football player carrying the mailbox like a ball.
When it's time to get a new unique mailbox post, either because your old one is worn out or a group of teenagers decided to play "mailbox baseball" with yours, it's easy to drive to your nearest home center and pick out a premade wooden, metal or plastic post. They may even have some decorative posts available, but for an unusual post, you will need to put more effort into your choice. Some businesses offer novelty mailboxes and posts, which you can order online. If you are a golfer, several companies offer a golf tee post complete with a golf ball mailbox.
Not many people think much about the boring, old mailbox post, since it seems its only purpose is to hold up the mailbox. If you look around, however, you will find some people have thought quite a bit about the post and have come up with some truly unusual ideas. With a little imagination and some ingenuity, you too can create a unique mailboxes post that will get your neighbors talking and may just give your mail carrier a reason to smile when he delivers your mail.

2020 Legacy of Good Plan Annual Update
Find out how Dell is putting technology and expertise to work where it cando the most good for people and the planet
Besides designing products that are more energy efficient, last year Dell offered 416 products qualified to various ENERGY STAR® standards, representing about 90% of our eligible products.
We reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our facilities and logistics by 16% since last year and reduced total electricity use by 22 million kWh. Now, more than 41% of our electricity is purchased from renewable sources — well on our way to getting at least half from renewables by 2020.
Our study showed that Dell's US employees who telecommute saved approximately $350 per year each ($12 million total) and reduced their carbon footprint – at the same time their actions saved Dell in facilities costs and reduced our corporate emissions.
To attract and retain talent in a fiercely competitive environment, Dell must be recognized as an Employer of Choice. In the countries where we compete for talent, we earned 40+ awards in FY16, including Ethisphere's World's Most Ethical Companies
Sustainability is a big part of Dell facilities. 88 locations participated in Earth Hour and 26 facilities bought at least 75% of their electricity from renewables. Plus, we're pioneering innovative projects like the Internet of Bees demonstration, rainwater harvesting and a monarch butterfly habitat restoration effort.
We are building a more innovative and responsible supply chain. We increased investments in supplier trainings, provided more development opportunities, and spent $3 billion annually over the last four years with diverse businesses. We also hold our suppliers accountable - conducting 72% more audits than in past years.
Because we see it as our responsibility to do good for people and the planet, we're the world's largest technology recycler, with takeback programs in 83 countries and territories. Since 2007, we've recovered 1.6 billion pounds of electronics, nearly 80% of the way to our goal of 2 billion pounds.
By reducing the size of packaging and sourcing from sustainable materials, Dell avoided 31 million lbs. of packaging and saved $65.9 million since 2009. Innovative materials like bamboo, mushrooms and wheat straw are helping us move to a more circular economy - making financial and environmental sense.
We believe leadership development creates an environment where people can perform at their best. In FY15, 40% of Dell leaders completed at least one training session (our goal is 20%) and 78% of newly promoted leaders participated in our Foundations of Leadership program (our goal is 100%).
While 93% of our packaging materials are sustainably sourced and easily recyclable or compostable, our goal is for every product shipment to be completely waste-free by 2020.
Since 2014, team members have volunteered more than 2.2 million hours in our communities. Our goal is to have 75% of our team members volunteer 5 million hours (cumulative) by 2020.
In conjunction with Arizona State University and BSR's Center for Technology and Sustainability, we helped measure the environmental and financial impact of ASU's move to more online education. The good news: it reduces each student's carbon footprint while adding $545,000 to their lifetime earnings.
With their cutting-edge skills and diverse perspectives, university graduates are a valuable asset as we drive for innovation and global success. Our close relationships with schools across the world enabled us to surpass our goal of hiring 25% new employees from universities by 2020.
Our study showed that Dell's US employees who telecommute each saved approximately $350 per year ($12 million total) and reduced their carbon footprint - at the same time, their actions reduced Dell's corporate emissions and saved the company money in facilities costs.
Dell continues to emphasize reducing and eliminating identified phthalates and other substances from our products. We are members of the Green Chemistry Council and Commerce, working collaboratively to advance green chemistry across sectors.
We always work to reuse and recycle materials in our facilities and our manufacturing. Currently, 85% of waste from facilities and 97% from manufacturing gets diverted from landfills. Success comes from taking a local approach.
From teaching kids to code to building solar- powered classrooms and accelerating precision medicine for pediatric cancer care, Dell's charitable giving is designed to benefit underserved youth. We set a goal of helping 3 million youth directly and 10 million people indirectly by 2020. We're more than halfway there.
From working remotely to job sharing, our team members work hard and get great results with our flexible work program, Connected Workplace. In FY16, approximately 25% of eligible employees worldwide were enrolled. This puts us halfway to reaching our 2020 goal of 50% participation.
Dell continues to emphasize reducing and eliminating identified phthalates and other substances from our products. We are members of the Green Chemistry and Commerce Council, working collaboratively to advance green chemistry across sectors.
Dell's employee resource groups (ERGs) engage members in their careers. Built on our culture of inclusion, we've established groups focused on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, sustainability, and others, but any team member can join any group. Our goal? 40% of team members in ERGs by 2020.
Dell is leading the shift to a circular economy. By taking the plastic from recycled computers and turning it into new parts for 48 different products, we reduce environmental impact and costs. Last year alone we made 3.4 million pounds of new parts this way.
In water-stressed regions, Dell has cut water use by 9% since 2012. Our conservation efforts extend beyond these water-stressed areas: We only used about 1.9 million cubic meters of water across all our facilities last year — roughly the same amount that goes over Niagara Falls in 11 minutes.
In our annual team member survey, 85% said they feel engaged and very positive about working at Dell, up from 80% in 2014. We've already exceeded our 2020 goal of 75% team member job satisfaction by 2020.

The best advertising is advertising that catches your consumer of guard. It interrupts their daily flow and makes them conscious of your brand. It makes them aware that they have just interacted with your brand, which sets you apart from all the noise. Sometimes this is achieved through ironic humor in a commercial and sometimes it is achieved through mesmerizing them with subtle use of technology.
McDonalds used reflective material to put up a billboard. During the day it just looks blank, but to night drivers it displays the message "Open All Night" just as they make their pass. In the pitch dark it catches the eye and really makes them look. As they pass they are completely consumed in the billboard and completely conscious of the McDonalds brand.

New Delhi, April 28: BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj who is famously known as 'lose canon' leader, has done it yet again. Stocking fresh controversy, Maharaj has held Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi responsible for devastating Nepal earthquake.
Read more: 4 children remark: 'Defiant' BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj expresses regret
While talking to reporters on the issue, BJP MP quoted by Times of India saying, "Rahul Gandhi eats beef, and goes to the holy shrine (Kedarnath) without purifying himself. The earthquake was bound to happen" .
Apparently, Sakshi Maharaj took a dig at Rahul Gandhi who had recently visited the holy shrine of Kedarnath after 56 days of his sabbatical.
Read more: Rahul Gandhi treks to Kedarnath, pays respect to flood victims
However, Congress took it as an offence and slammed Sakshi Maharaj for his obnoxious comment.
Party attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah alleging "motor mouth offenders" of the ruling party were trying to "communalise and politicise" Nepal tragedy.
"...In a most unfortunate and petty manner, certain habitual motor mouth offenders of the BJP, cohorts of the Prime Minister and BJP President Amit Shah, are trying to communalise and politicise a grave human tragedy.
"If media reports are to be believed, BJP leader and MP Sakshi Maharaj now famous for asking women to produce 10 babies, eulogising the killers of Mahatma Gandhi are now ascribing the earthquake in Nepal to Rahul Gandhi's visit to Bhagwan Kedarnath," party spokesperson Sushmita Dev told reporters at the AICC briefing.
Dev said in doing so, he has not only "denigrated" all those who have faith in Bhagwan Kedarnath but the victims of this huge tragedy. "It will be better if the PM and Amit Shah stop perpetuating rabid politics that has now reached the stage of denigrating even Bhagwan Kedarnath through his chosen cohorts.We demand that the PM and Amit Shah take immediate action against Sakshi Maharaj," she said.
While slamming the BJP leader's remarks, Dev said our attention and efforts at this time should be aimed at relief, rescue and rehabilitation. She also chose the occasion to flag the need to have concrete plan of action to mitigate disaster caused by Earth quakes in the NCR region.
"It is equally alarming to see that the capital of India Delhi as also the National Capital Region(NCR) has no approved state disaster management and mitigation plan," she said.
Dev said that the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) formulated the draft policy way back in March 2014, and the National Disaster Management Authority has seen presentations on it but since March 2014 there has been no progress in finalising the report. "The government and NDMA- both of which are headed by the PM are requested to pay immediate attention to finalise the plan," she said. The Congress spokesperson said that her party MPs have decided to donate one month's salary.

Better than the Air then :P.
C'mon, someone was going to say it ;).
Looks great, I would definitely consider it except for one thing - no HDMI! I appreciate that you can still output video through VGA, but then I'd need to output audio separately too. The ability to decode 1080p video is nice, but to me fairly pointless without HDMI.
Can't buy that due to the ferrari logo on the back - like wearing a ferrari baseball cap.
the fact it goes "vroooom!" on startup eliminates the HDMI negative in my books.
The noisy fans is very disappointing. I can live without HDMI but don't like noisy computers. This is my type of netbook/ultra portable, a dual core with dedicated graphics.
They should just make the lid silver. I remember an Acer Ferrari with a silver lid??
I must correct the video, it does not have a noisy fan. It is very quiet. Great little netbook. Had it one week so far and can't find any fault in any way.
I bought one a couple of months ago - it was silent for 3 weeks then developed a noisy fan, something between a rattle and a buzz. This is very disappointing from an otherwise powerful and handy machine. Sadly speedfan and other monitors do not work on this model so I can't adjust the fan - it makes lots of fan noise at temperatures as low as 30 degrees C, temps that shouldn't need a fan to be on at all.
Would be nice to see a performance review where it was pitted against the Acer Ferrari one netbook.
Acer ferrari one vs the Eee pc 1201n.. While looking for reviews of both these netbooks iv seen a few requests by budding netbook owners requesting the same thing.
Would be nice to see a performance review where it was pitted against the Eee pc 1201n. netbook.
Acer ferrari one vs the Eee pc 1201n... best video performance, best gaming performance fastest cpu etc.
I bought one of these laptps yesterday. I've used it a good few hours and so far I cannot say that it has loud fan noise at all and it does not generate large amounts of heat. It is at the most a quiet whirr. This smashing little machine packs some degree of gaming capability, effective video and HD playback and the very fast multasking of a much more expensive ultraportable for £400. Add to that the bonus of a rock solid build quality and great keyboard and crystal clear display on pictures & font. The battery life is just as good as most ultraportables and regular netbooks at 4-5 hours, just as good as my Samsung NC10 which has much lower powered hardware. It is wrong to compare the battery life with the Timeline series, it needs to be compared alongside other regular netbooks and ultraportables.
Yes, the design and colour scheme is like Marmite, you either love it or hate it but it is sure distinctive in a world of homogenous if sleek machines. I disagree having the Ferrari logo makes one appear a wannabee who can't afford the car. So what? One can admire Ferrari branding and perhaps even be a F1 fan. This lovely little cross somwehere between an ultraportable and premium netbook has the performance to go with the branding image. If you like he design but don't want to pay silly prices you cannot go wrong.
Apart from that, the review is very accurate and a pretty fair score, except I'd give it 9/10 at its pricing point.
It seems the owners in this thread are split between noisy and quiet fans. I was in the quiet camp for the first 3 hours the computer was on. Then I heard a clunk like a Ferrari had been mis-shifted and started to make a metallic buzzing noise from the fan similar to how ando321 described it. This happened at idle. I have not heard the quiet (and pleasant) whirr I heard at first use in the week since. It makes the rattly buzzing noise when I boot it up... when it's cool... I'm afraid to take it to class for the noise it makes.
I also own a Lenovo S10, another "loud" netbook that runs hot but this is altogether different. I love everything about this little red beast except for the fan issue :(
I don't have any real problems with this netbook other than the touchpad. I would like to adjust the sensitivity but there doesn't seem to be an option under touchpad properties so I will use my wireless nano mouse most of the time.
My main problem is not with the machine but with the online registration site. Each time I try to submit the Serial Number I get the message (in red) to "check serial number". I have triple checked that it is correct and that the sticker underneath the machine, the SN printed on the box, the one listed in the BIOS and the VCARD are all identical. I only use a 0 (zero) and not the letter O so I don't understand why it isn't recognised?
Another problem I encountered is that when I enter the SNID the online form only accepts 3 digits so it is not capable of taking the full number.
Has anyone else had any trouble registering their products?
my ferrari one heat up fast and shut down with in 20 min .wht is the solution of it?

Raghu Dixit getting Rs 1 cr remuneration?
Written by: By: Shekhar H Hooli
Subscribe to Filmibeat
A person, who claims himself to be the manager of Raghu, has sparked rumours in Gandhinagar. When asked about the salary of Raghu, he said, "Raghu is very busy now and no dates are available till 2010. He charges Rs 1 crore to score music for a movie." Raghu himself was surprised by the report and said, "Though it's a rumour, it's good for him."
Raghu said, "Presently, I'm busy with the music of the movie Super Man. I 'm getting Rs. 35 lakhs as payment for the music of a movie. And this is the market price for a musician in the Kannada Film Industry. I myself look after all my affairs. I don't need any manager."

I'm not quite sure what to make of this article. On one hand, it seems like it's written as a spoof, but on the other hand, it might indeed reveal the true anti-gun agenda and plan. Defensive Carry members most likely already know this, but read this and let me know what you think? Seems like a plausible plan (probably has been for years) and seems most likely what's in their mind.
Can they pull it off? Now...no. But they are thinking long term...

Interesting read, has already been posted though.
Living a life free from fear, means being able to protect it at all times.

I actually managed to read through the whole thing. Feel dirty now and have the taste of bile in my mouth. These people live in a dream world with dictatorial fantasies. They all assume the populace would give in with merely a sigh. Circular reasoning, denial or ignorance of history, and poor logic.
Yep, i already read this from a previous post. And yes, I have no doubt that this process is in the minds of many people, probably including some of our politicians. That's why we must be always on our guard, and we must continue to let our elected officials know how we feel on the subject, over and over again, until they get it that "we the people" will not stand for it.
The article is written like a spoof, but I don't think that it was mean as a spoof. Undoubtedly there are some for whom this would be a wonderful dream. They are a minority. If you take a look at the comment sections, DK uses a recomend function which is equivalent to the like feature in this forum. The "tip jar" is the like feature of the original post. This post had an exceptionally poor response, even from the DK community, only getting 4 indicating that this is too much even for the far left Progressives.
I like FiremanPaul, Need a shower!!! Jeez. They are NUTS!
I Love Guns!!!

Did Pierce Morgan write this. lol
And yet the poll at the bottom of the article is running at 91% AGAINST a gun ban. Maybe the entire organization at Daily Kos is a spoof!
The author is a fool, who, if he was a CO on the battlefield, would have been shot by his own men.
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards

I am relatively new here and had never seen that. I also don't know if it's a spoof, but I voted in the poll at the bottom and the results for a gun ban were 90+ percent against. That's a good thing.
Anyway, yes it is unpopular even with some on the left, but don't you think it's the true intentions of this President? He is on record starting that he doesn't think anyone needs a handgun. He said that long before he was President.
This has to be a spoof. Only Diane Feinstein, Bloomberg, Chicago Democrats, and a gaggle of Hollywood liberals would be stupid enough to write something like that!

PURPOSE:The intensive care unit (ICU) is a complex and evolving environment that is an important site for postgraduate medical training. However, the demands of patient care in the ICU coupled with residents' duty restriction regulations have made critical care education challenging. To determine how different institutions provide resident education and training in critical care medicine, we surveyed academic institutions with pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) fellowship programs.
METHODS:A web-based survey was sent to all PCCM program directors in the US. Up to 4 attempts at contact were made to non-responders. The questions focused on characteristics of ICU rotations, educational resources, and teaching practices. Statistical analyses were performed to identify teaching trends and relationships among measured variables.
RESULTS:Of 134 PCCM program directors, 63 (47%) responded. The median ICU size was 16 beds (range 7 to 52) and ICU teams most commonly had 8 residents from all PGY levels. 22% of programs had a "nightfloat" system, and 34% had a "cap" on resident admissions. Table 1 demonstrates the frequency of various teaching methods used. Teaching time was longer during weekdays than weekends (3.0+1.2 hr/day vs. 1.9+1.3 hr/day, p<0.001). 59% of programs that reported they spend >40% of ICU rounds on teaching. Of these programs, more time was spent teaching in medical vs. "mixed" ICUs (68% of programs vs. 38%, p<0.05), in larger (>20 beds) ICUs (76% vs. 49% in < 20 beds, p<0.05), and in programs with a "nightfloat" system (66% vs. 34% without, p<0.05). When asked about the effect of the 80-hour limit work week on resident education, most (58%) respondents felt it had a negative effect, and the majority (63%) reported it "somewhat or very likely" changed their approach to resident education in the ICU.
CONCLUSION:Educational practices vary across different ICUs. Teaching time is affected by ICU demographics and resident workload.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:Further evaluation of current and novel educational methods and the development of an effective teaching system in critical care medicine are warranted.

The BSAVA is encouraging vets to play their part in National Pet Month.
The campaign, which runs from 1 April to 2 May, is an opportunity for the veterinary profession to join other animal-related individuals and organisations in activities that encourage responsible pet ownership, raise funds and celebrate the contribution pets make to lives, said the BSAVA.
This year's theme is to champion responsible pet ownership, reminding how important it is to provide the best levels of care to pets.
Veterinary practices are being urged to stage a pet-themed event in aid of a favourite UK pet charity, taking the opportunity to build relationships with their older clients, as well as talking to local schools or community groups.
BSAVA president Tricia Colville said: "The veterinary profession is at the heart of responsible pet ownership.
"National Pet Month is a great opportunity for practices to open their doors to the public to show them the professionalism and care that goes on behind the scenes, as well as educate and support pet owners, and to celebrate this in a fun and inspiring way.
"There is a growing body of evidence documenting the many physical and emotional benefits of responsible pet ownership, helping us to lead happier, healthier lives and make fewer demands on the health service or on society as a whole."

I looked at the new girl who suprissinglly didn't like me! I mean after being the local pillow i think i deseverd some respect, even if i liked being the pillow.
Then when i saw how she summoned chicken and noodles... I think i went a bit crazy and ate the the hole boul, but still had the sanity to avoid the fork.
Yumm, I thought after i tasted the chicken but then rememberd the boul and a piece got caught in my throut. Master got the idea and wrote down "please don't feed her any more!" Before running over to me and to start to remove the boul with my dinner in inside.
He got the big part of the boul, that now didn't fill the description boul, anymore. However there was still a piece of clay in my throut.
When he did all that the others woke up and helped, only a really small piece was still there and master finnally got it out. In the process i fell asleep.
I awoke with a very sore throut and i caufed up blood. When i got done gagging i noticed everyone but Flamira, who where arigenally sleeping on, back asleep.
Flamira, with here special abillaty finnally got in my head and asked if i was alright. I told her i was fine and she laid out a boul with water. In the mean time i could tell master wanted to futher help but had to disscuse stuff with Ara, the friend of Flamira, in my words Fire-but-nice-lady!

Go with the scientific
Go with the scientific name.
Winter Wren was an English Language name that was applied to the species prior to the American wrens being split off as two separate species. Winter Wren is now the English name that applies to Troglodytes hiemalis, T. troglodytes is called Eurasian Wren (but may be split further in the future).

I just went with what iSpot came up with. Me, I'd just call it a Wren.
Unfortunately Ispot follows
Unfortunately Ispot follows the names used by the Encyclopedia of Life, which is generally very slow to catch up with taxonomical revisions and/or changes in names. This means that the names (both English and scientific) that come up as recommended aren't always the ones in current, or common, usage.
Still, I suppose there has to be some sort of source that Ispot follows, and it's generally easy enough to work out what is meant!
I particularly like the left hand shot btw!
Well, Thank You, Roy
8 April 2012 - 6:58pm Simon Walker
I'm sure this was the same bird I saw a few days before, but then I made the classic error of not having reset my camera settings after doing something odd (photographing bathing birds at 1/5000 sec). The results were not as good as I'd been expecting! So I just had to go back and hope he'd show up again.
Thanks again for your kind remark.

Solarflare to Speak at 2015 STAC Summits: London and New York
IRVINE, CA—June 3, 2015 —Solarflare, the leader in application-intelligent 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networking software and hardware, today announced that Ron Miller, Director of Technical Marketing, Security Services at Solarflare will be speaking on how to view the role of host-level security in light of threat evolution and technology advancements at the upcoming STAC events in London and New York
Miller will address how the move to virtualization is inevitable for today's enterprises, yet security risks are top concerns as the usual defenses are not ready for the virtualization and cloud computing environments. He will highlight how host systems have traditionally been left out of the network defense in depth paradigm due to the computational cost, as well as performance tradeoffs required to deploy robust security and monitoring solutions on production systems. From this talk, organizations will learn how to leverage these host system capabilities in a virtualization environment to distribute an active security that allows real-time updates of the security features to block, rate limit, log or alert on suspicious traffic.
STAC Summits bring together industry leaders from top financial and technology firms to discuss the latest business issues and technical trends around big data, fast data and big compute. STAC® is a technology research firm that facilitates the STAC Benchmark Council™, a group of leading financial firms and technology vendors. The Council discusses strategic engineering challenges and specifies standard methods for assessing new technologies based on users' requirements.

If you want to share a place with someone close to you in Bologna, this studio in the traditional San Vitale area could be the perfect choice!
This simple apartment has a cosy and bright bedroom area, a functional kitchen area that has the essential appliances you'l need to cook your favourite dishes, and a bathroom. You'll be in a nice area, close to the centre, to various gardens and parks where you can get a breath of fresh air, and to transport links - Bologna Rimesse train station is within walking distance!
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.
Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Performance wise, the HDFS is top class. Operating speed is ultra quick – digital text pages appear reasonably quick and channels change instantly. And while connected wirelessly to the web, we hit the red button on BBC One and sure enough the 'BBC iPlayer Beta' option is listed at the bottom (although it disappeared a couple of times).
The service appears in a flash, it moves from option to option with minimum delay and programmes loaded up in around 10 seconds. They also played back without a single buffering pause, making this a beautifully smooth way of seeing iPlayer in action. Picture quality is a touch fuzzy in standard quality but step up to higher quality and it can look as good as live Freesat programmes.
Moving to Freesat, we're hugely impressed by the picture quality. High-definition channels, in this case BBC HD, look as stunning as ever, boasting lashings of glorious detail and splashes of radiant, natural colour. The through-a-window clarity of the image alone makes this box worth buying.
Standard definition pictures on BBC One are obviously softer and introduce some sprinklings of mosquito and block noise. We've seen boxes that offer a touch more sharpness, but on the whole we reckon you'll be more than happy with the HDFS's picture prowess.
Sonically the Technisat doesn't put a foot wrong – Dolby Digital on BBC HD is dynamic and expansive, particularly when you pipe it though a home cinema system as we did, and analogue stereo through a TV is consistently clean and audible. When streaming MP3 files from a PC, punchy, well-balanced sound quality is the order of the day.
Could the Technisat HDFS be the best Freesat receiver money can buy? We think so. It boasts a fantastic array of features that will appeal to beginners and advanced users alike, and the wireless PC streaming and iPlayer access puts it in a class all of its own. Picture quality, operating speed, onscreen design and looks are also impressive, putting even the impressive Humax FOXSAT-HD to shame.
The only issue could be the £150 price tag, which some people may find slightly high for a straight up receiver with no PVR functionality – particularly as you have to pay out an extra £30 for the wireless adaptor. But in our opinion it's a small price to pay for such a slick, feature-packed Freesat box.
I was just going to buy the Humax HDR box and now this review! Do you know if Technisat will be releasing a PVR version of this box? I'm leaving Sky at the end of May and need to make a decision.
Add PVR functionality and it's "hasta luego" SKY.
@TrustedReviews - I've just performed a few google searches which have revealed...PVR functionality...
Can you confirm? Did you review box perform a software update, which revealed this functionality?
Well I for one am confused by the review as I have this Technisat HDFS Freesat receiver and I'm happily recording stuff from it onto an external hard drive that's plugged into the rear USB socket... Admittedly the interface needs a bit of work but it's a feature that Technisat introduce via firmare update some months ago now.
Supports all the standard features like pausing live tv etc.
Great unit and even better once divx streaming is supported.
I have had the Technisat HDFS since November and I can confirm its as good as any box I have ever considered - The Recording Function added after buying it works really well (mostly) and I was blown away by the quality of iPlayer its much better than I dare expected.
With it showing up online for as little as £139 and that includes a THREE YEAR warranty I cannot recommend this receiver more highly.
And if your interested the Tech Support department available in the UK by phone and email could teach a few other manufacturers how it should be done.
Question is do you go Freesat or Freeview for HD in the future? Somewhat confusing marketing by UK channels methinks. Puts me off deciding....
Odd, how could TrustedReviews have missed the PVR function of this box? It may be a bit of a bodge involving an external Hard Drive (and the files that are recorded are encoded so youcant play them back on a PC unfortunatly, only the box you recorded them on) but it is there:
Hadnt spotted that it had dropped to £139 tho, I was thinking of saving up for the Humax but thats still +£200 and as I live in a flat with a single LNR this may be the better option TBH
Thanks for confirming the PVR functionality. Looks like I'll be getting the Techinsat instead of the Humax. Bye bye Sky.
Long term Freesat will have way more bandwidth than Freeview HD - but the channel line up may not reflect this at launch. There will be more capacity when Astra launches an additional satellite next year. Plus ITVplayer is on its way soon to Freesat Boxes soon.
FREESAT is available in your area now (at a safe bet) but you will of course need to check when your area switches over to Freesat HD - the World Cup will help a lot of people decide which way to jump. And just think of all those dead Sky dishes around the UK just waiting to get some low cost HD goodnes.
Would it be possible to include screenshots of the menus and on screen display in future reviews? Ultimately they're what you'll be staring at a most of the time.
@Stelph - can you use USB powered hard drives?
Isn't FreeSat currently limited mainly because its sharing the satellite with Sky, which wont give it the bandwidth it needs...something to do with needing a narrow frequency so that the channels can't be picked up say in France or Germany, if they can then the providers won't sell them the channels/content.
Judging by the comments of 'Free at last. Free at last from Sky.' Is it any wonder the Murdochs were complaining of the BBC's "chilling ambitions".
Well if you want to keep Freesat, BBC's website, iPlayer, Canvas, etc and ensure that the BBC continues to innovate and not be brow beaten by self interests of the profiteering private sector of the likes of the Sky (aka News Corporation of the Murdoch empire) then you may want to have a look at the publication of the proposed strategy for the BBC. The proposals will now be subject to a 12 week consultation (From 02 Mar - 25 May 2010).
The Executive's proposals can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctru...
There are a number of ways in which you can have your say:
Online Survey: https://consultations.exter...
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I thought all those seeking 'freedom' from Sky tv may like to see these stories:
James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks invade Independent newspaper office: http://www.mirror.co.uk/new...
So 'expect' a visit from James & Rebekah :-(( very sooon!
Viewers complain to Ofcom over Nick Clegg's treatment in Sky debate: http://www.guardian.co.uk/m...
I inadvertently (as I don't normally watch PoVs) caught an interview with one of BBC's Executives on Points of View on the issue of limited HD programming by the BBC. You may be able to catch it on BBC iPlayer.
It MUST be serious! "Stars line up to condemn the Tories over funding plans for the BBC":
Apologies for not mentioning the PVR add-on - guess I was too busy checking out the iPlayer - but yes, it's fantastic and yet another reason why this is the Freesat box to beat.
