Let there be light: Outdoors enthusiasts can rejoice in the genius of Joby's GorillaTorch Switchback. From the same company that brought us the original GorillaTorch, the Switchback is designed as a two-in-one that eliminates the need for separate lights at the campsite. It's a lantern with hands-free tripod that converts to a headlamp for both convenience and portability, using the same "LED engine" to power both.
As a lantern, it can rest on the adjustable tripod, attach to a tree branch or even hang on a tent pole. As a headlamp, the LED engine connects to a smaller light source with an ergonomic, adjustable headband that can illuminate up to 60 feet in front of the wearer. The tripod also functions as a camera holder.
The entire product is water resistant (IPX-4). It has five LED lights, including an XP-G spotlight, two flood lights and two red lights for nighttime vision. It has a holographic lens that creates strong, consistent light. Brightness is adjustable, from 5 to 130 lumens. Battery lasts up to 72 hours. Fully assembled (headlamp, lantern, batteries and tripod), the Switchback weighs only 8.8 ounces. Lantern and headlamp are plastic (ABS, nylon, and polycarbonate), headlamp housing is aluminum and tripod is ABS plastic with TPE feet.
Price is $59.95. To purchase or find a list of retailers, visit Joby's website, www.joby.com.

Could your dream home turn into nightmare because you bought underwear which turned out to be the wrong size and had to be returned? That's what some experts are saying. No, not because the underwear didn't fit and you could stand to lose some weight. It was because you bought it with a credit card.
Mortgage credit experts warn that the breaches that occurred at Target, Neiman Marcus et al. could wreak havoc with some people's credit, lowering credit scores and threatening loan applications. And anyone who's bought property that's drawn a lot of interested buyers knows that the seller is not going to wait while a buyer's credit history is sorted out.
Writing in the Washington Post, Kenneth R. Harney details the trials and tribulations likely to arise in real estate and housing as a result of hacks on major retailers.
The Target breach alone could touch as many as 70 million credit and debit card customers, according to the company. Neiman Marcus says that data on 1.1 million of its customers may be vulnerable to fraud. Data security researchers report that at least six other merchants have experienced data breaches from point-of-sale malware similar to what was used in the Target thefts.
Both Target and Neiman Marcus have sought to reach out to customers and have offered free credit-monitoring services. But credit experts say it's likely that given the sheer size of the data thefts, large numbers of people either have not taken advantage of these offers or have, for varying reasons, not been aware that their data may have been compromised.
So what are the potential blowbacks on home sales and mortgage applications?
Start with the basics: Identity theft, if not corrected quickly, can make a mess of anyone's credit bureau files. Though victims may not be liable for the unauthorized debts racked up, their credit reports — and, in turn, their credit scores — can be damaged for weeks or months.
Listen to Terry Clemans, executive director of the National Consumer Reporting Association, the primary trade group that represents independent credit-reporting companies serving the mortgage industry.
Clemans says that mass identity heists such as those at Target and Neiman Marcus have the potential to create "havoc on credit files for as long as it takes for the consumer to document [that] the accounts are due to identity theft and get them removed from the file. The impact on credit scores, although short-term, is devastating because they are current defaults and [trigger] a big hit to the score. With the sizes of the breaches, this could be painful for a long time."
Sarah Davies, senior vice president for VantageScore Solutions, one of the two major providers of consumer score models used by banks and other creditors, confirmed that unauthorized debts on credit reports "can have quite a big impact" and could interfere with certain transactions you want to undertake, such as buying a home or applying for a mortgage.
Among the scenarios that could begin surfacing as the stolen information from retailers is sold and used in the coming months:
- Home sales could be knocked off track by the sudden appearance of new debts on buyers' credit reports. Many lenders monitor national credit bureau files electronically from the date of loan approval to moments before closing. Even if you explain that you were a victim of identity theft, your financing could be put on ice until you and the bureaus clean up your reports. That could cause you to miss contractual deadlines with the home seller and, worst case, cause you to lose the house.
- Undetected run-ups of balances on credit cards could seriously affect "utilization ratios" — how much of the available credit maximum a consumer has drawn down — and cause declines in scores. High rates of utilization, or "maxing out," are penalized by the major scoring models. Lower credit scores, in turn, may disqualify you for a mortgage, at least until you are able to document to the credit bureaus' satisfaction that the new debts were the result of identity theft.
- Undetected use of your information to create one or more new credit cards could be especially damaging and time-consuming to fix.
Clemans notes that although merchants and the bureaus may be eager to help resolve identity theft situations, they are also on guard against attempts by consumers to blame everything negative in their files on identity theft. They'll want proof and documentation before expunging the bad information.
In the mortgage context, there's another complication: Although independent credit reporting agencies, which resell and reformat the national credit bureaus' data for lenders, can often help advise loan officers on ways to improve their applicants' scores — a service known as "rapid rescoring" — they can't help in identity theft repairs. That needs to be done by the consumers themselves, by contacting the bureaus, placing fraud alerts or freezes on their accounts, then working to clean out the bad stuff, line by line.

It's funny, isn't it; we're all so concerned with our own ineptitudes that we develop a tendency to attack others for their imperfections, out of fear that one's own might be discovered. We judge everyone else continuously, in a way that demands them to be as perfect as us, yet our next thought is about what we did wrong today–usually something as trivial as a mis-timed joke or forgetting to put the bins out.
We also live in a culture where being too good is a sin! "How dare you be so good at something when I'm not?" It's strange that we care enough to have a thought about it. Apparently we have to find the right balance of being good enough to gain respect but not too good as to make others feel bad about themselves.
Why do we strive for perfection when we know it's not possible? What would perfection actually be? Would we want to be perfect and never make mistakes? What would we learn from it?
Maybe we should: forgive ourselves for being who we are and forgive others for not being who we want them to be.

The Husky defense forced four turnovers and held Portland State, a team that was averaging close to 250 yards per game on the ground, to just 34 yards on the ground and their offense used a big day from Chico McClatcher and an efficient, if quiet, evening from QB Jake Browning to get out to an early lead and never looked back.
McClatcher got things going almost from the get-go when he took a short pass from Browning and turned it into a 43-yard touchdown on the fifth play of the game.
On the ensuing kickoff, Husky kicker Tristan Vizcaino "skied" his kick.
The unusual tactic confused the Portland State return team, causing them to muff it and it was recovered by Washington at the Viking 26.
Three plays later, Browning found TE Darrell Daniels for an 11-yard score and the Huskies were on their way to the easy win.
Washington, which hadn't been able to establish a consistent running game in their first two contests, finished with over 200 yards on the ground behind the 93-yard, one-touchdown effort from Myles Gaskin.
McClatcher finished the day with four catches for 69 yards and two scores while also rushing for 37 yards on three carries.
Defensively, the Huskies yielded just 182 yards to the Vikings' offense as DT Greg Gaines lead the way with seven tackles while LB Keishawn Bierria and DT Vita Vea each had six.
The Huskies, now 3-0 on the season, will travel to Tucson to take on Arizona in their first conference game of the season next Saturday at 7:30 p.m.null

Wahhabis have a particular hatred towards Shia muslims, although they consider anyone not aligned to their strict doctrine a heretic deserving death.
Please consider this incident:
"In 1803 and 1804 the Saudis captured Mecca and Madinah and demolished various venerated shrines, monuments and removed a number of what was seen as sources or possible gateways to polytheism or shirk - such as the shrine built over the tomb of Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad."
Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad is a key figure in islam with the events of her life and death a splitting point and one of the dividing polemics that caused the Sunni-Shia split. Through the image of Mary, Fatima is a name that draws muslims and Catholics together. The future merger of Islam and Catholicism will occur through the miracles of the "virgin mary" - apparitions or some other fireworks display.
"I think you will find that the Wahhabi Muslims, and any others who reprove the veneration of any person other than God and Muhammad, also reprove the veneration of Mary."
The current consentual opinion of the "truthers" or anti-nwo crowd is that Wahhabism was created by the global elite (please excuse me for using such kindergarden terms, but I must repeat some usual "conspiracy theory" rhetoric), specifically by Britain and the USA. That is probably true, but what purpose does wahhabism truly serve? The anti-zionists/truthseekers/anti-NWOs claim that the Wahhabis were created to justify invasions to steal resources(chiefly oil) and plunder the countries of the levant and not only. This "false flag" theory that is conveniently attached to the 9/11 truth movement is the still unused trump card for all anti-americans(Russia, Iran, Syria, China, Latin America) and possibly even the casus beli for a possible future conflict.
It is a very big stretch and a very ignorant assumption that wahhabism has any chance to grow and exert influence on the extensively cleric-checked, dogmatically set majority of Muslims. And while it is a horrible disgrace of a religion and while it may be created by Britain and the USA, its main purpose can be found on the religious plane, not the political/economic one. The only superpower country left that is a thorne in the eye of Rome is the USA. A very large portion of the christian right in the USA have been duped into blind support of their government. This has been counterbalanced with the "truthseekers" who expose the deeds of the CIA,FBI,NSA etc. Eventually a neutral position has been left out of the picture. What this has done is a the christians being stuck in the sinking ship of the government(same way lutheran church embraced nazism), that has hit the iceberg through the international crimes of military-industrial complex, the security services etc. And a self-destructive activity of the "truthseekers" that fail to look beyond their government and thus justify and nourish anti-americanism in the spotlight of the WORLD DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.
Eventually, through the pressure of the new world order (which will not be an euro or americanocentric) the ones who will be persecuted will be the christians, even those who refuse to blindly follow the government. When Rome finally devours Islam, Russia and China or even only Russia or any two of the three, the USA will no more have a say in international politics. In fact there will be retrubution on the "war mongering zionists".
Ultimately, the only way bible believers can be persecuted with the approval of the WDG, (in this stage, before the absolute Babylonisation of the whole thing) is to make them guilty by association. Both by political(liberalism), religious(fundamentalism/monotheism), ideological/economic(wild type capitalism/consumerism). At first glance the wahhabism is an obsticle for the unification of the Whore with Islam, her big and evil daughter. It is however a useful tool, an evil counterpart, a effigy, a hyperbole and symbol to represent all that is in the way and implicate other heretics in this fate. To chain them in the blanket term of
and drown them. Sealed with the blood of Orthodox and Catholic "christians", Shia and atheists of the middle east , it will exist until Rome has won the elections. And that day is coming soon. Non-conformists must be eradicated. Those who only try to follow a book. Those who do not bow down to the images of the Queen of Heaven.
OUR LADY AND ISLAM: HEAVEN'S PEACE PLAN Fr Ladis J. Cizik, Blue Army National Executive Director
"Heaven presented its peace plan at Fatima and truly gave us hope for the world. Conversions were promised at Fatima: the conversion of sinners; the conversion of Russia; and what also appears to be the conversion of Islam. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!"
Come soon and destroy her, Lord Jesus

Federer repels Nishikori fightback to win group
By Martyn Herman
LONDON (Reuters) - Roger Federer's enduring brilliance and his sheer hatred of losing allowed him to withstand a stunning fightback by Kei Nishikori and remain undefeated at the ATP World Tour Finals on Thursday.
The 34-year-old Swiss maestro was on auto-pilot when he led 4-1 in the second set, having snatched an absorbing opener, but needed every shot in his formidable armoury to eventually claw out a 7-5 4-6 6-4 victory.
Japan's Nishikori had looked the more likely winner after reeling off five consecutive games to take the six-times former champion into a deciding set, but his stirring efforts proved in vain as Federer squeezed home.
Federer topped Stan Smith Group with a 100 percent record -- the ninth time in 14 consecutive appearances at the elite event he has won all three of his round-robin matches.
World number one Novak Djokovic, beaten emphatically by Federer on Tuesday, joined the Swiss in the semi-finals when he beat Tomas Berdych 6-3 7-5 in the evening match at the O2 Arena.
The Serb, bidding for a fourth straight title at the season-ender, could have qualified with a three-set defeat, but took no chances in a businesslike display to finish runner up in the group and set up a clash with a resurgent Rafael Nadal.
Federer will play either Andy Murray or Stanislas Wawrinka who complete the round-robin matches in the Ilie Nastase group on Friday.
Nishikori bowed out, having only managed to beat Berdych, but he got a ringing endorsement from the 34-year-old Federer. Continued...

Easy Crustless Peach Pie
Shirley Braden of Gluten Free Easily
Recipe type:
5 to 6 fresh, ripe peaches, peeled, sliced, and drained (about 4 to 4 ½ cups)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar
¾ cup butter (or non-dairy "butter"), melted
1 cup gluten-free flour mix (I use my
Two-Ingredient Gluten-Free Flour Mix
½ tsp xanthan gum (optional, and omit if using a flour mix that already contains xanthan gum)
1 cup sugar
1 egg (I use large on up)
pinch of salt
Put peaches in greased, deep-dish pie plate and sprinkle with cinnamon and one tablespoon of sugar.
In a bowl, mix melted butter, one cup of sugar, flour, and xanthan gum (if used). Blend in unbeaten egg and pinch of salt. Mix well and pour over peaches. (This mixture will be thick, so you might have to spread it with a spatula to cover all the apples.)
Sprinkle more cinnamon over top, if you wish.
Place pie on baking sheet (if desired, see notes). Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes. Top should be completely golden brown.
I'm sure you could make this in an 8-inch square casserole dish or something similar if you don't have a deep-dish pie plate. I used 5½ peaches yesterday–that's what was needed to fill my pie plate, yet leave enough room to pour over the crust. Also, for you folks who don't use gums, as I've noted, this recipe can be made without xanthan gum successfully as well.
Readers have made my Crustless Apple Pie successfully using both commercial egg replacer and flax gel eggs, so either of those methods *should* work in this recipe as well.
if you want a true pie and not more of a fruit cobbler, you need to be sure to drain the juice from your sliced peaches and save it for another use (e.g., breakfast smoothie? ice cream topping?). If you don't drain off the juiciness, again, you'll have more of a cobbler than a pie. For the batter to seep down between the peach slices and form a bottom crust, you need "drier" peaches. Either version will be delicious, of course.
Placing the pie on a baking sheet will save you from any spillage due to overly juicy peaches, but if you do that, the pie will require a slightly longer baking time.

The Perfect Quote
Ever read a quote that made you think a lot? That inspired you in some way? Or that you just liked? In this collab you get to write about it and how you found that quote interesting!! (i'm not good at summaries but check it out anyways!)
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. ~Carol Sobieski and Thomas Meehan, Annie
At exactly 11:00 a.m on Thursday of May 20th in the year 2010, school went off. There were sad faces everywhere I went. My heart felt shattered inside knowing that I wouldn't be able to stand on the ground I was standing on right now, to smell the dust of the scorching Sahel that I was smelling right now, to hear the soft wind blowing around; I wasn't going to be able to do these things for some time now.
But what hurt the most was knowing that this was the first and last goodbye I was saying to some of my closest friends. It hadn't hit me that morning that I was not going to see them again for a LONG time after this. But when it did, it hit me with a BANG. The tears didn't stop. Saying goodbye to my closest friends Soph and LJ was quite a heart break. I had hugged them around 50 times that day.
My fellow actor in the musical that I had participated in that school year was moved to tears. He played the role of Horton the Elephant while I played Gertrude McFuzz for "Seussical the Musical Jr". We were quite good friends during that school year and I had gotten to know him better. Being one of the jokers of our usual group, he was always laughing and saying something stupid. But for the first time in my life, I saw him in tears as we embraced each other and cried.
Later on when I returned home after all the goodbyes I'd said, I went online and looked up quotes. Often a habit of mine when I was feeling overwhelmed or "emo". That's when I find that perfect quote I needed at that time.
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
Oh yeah…how lucky I am…

GBP/USD: Ichimoku analysis (Feb. 28)
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
Daily. The pair has been consolidating around the Tenkan-sen for the whole week. This consolidation was caused by the overbought market condition. Ichimoku Indicator remains bullish: golden cross and the growing cloud may positively influence the market sentiment. The uptrend is expected to continue in the near term.
Chart. Daily GBP/USD
H4. On the H4 timeframe we see that the pair entered the Cloud and traded in a narrow range, limited by the 1.6620 support below and by the upper border of the cloud below. Bears failed to break the support to the downside. If the pair fixes above the cloud early next week, bullish pressure increases further.

I like you. People say I've got no taste, but I like you.
I would have liked to insult you, but the sad truth is that you wouldn't understand me.
I'd like to see things from your point of view, but I can't seem to get my head that far up your butt.
If you were twice as smart as you are now, you'd be absolutely stupid.
I'm glad to see you're not letting your education get in the way of your ignorance.
I'm impressed, I've never met such a small mind inside such a big head before.
Pardon me, but you're obviously mistaking me for someone who gives a damn.
What he is lacking in intelligence, he more than makes up for in stupidity.
What's wrong, don't you get any attention back home?
You should do some soul-searching. You might just find one.
You would never be able to live down to your reputation, but I see you're doing your best.
You're a habit I'd like to kick - with both feet.
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.
Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.
If I throw a stick, will you leave?
I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
Stress is when you wake up screaming & you realize you haven't fallen asleep yet.
Never trust a dog to watch your food.
Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

Food For Thought...
"A lot of people have left the category. Also a lot of young people have not entered the category, so these ads may help Coke both recruit new, young consumers and recruit some lapsed consumers." (Beverage Digest editor John Sicher, clearly excited over the soft drink company's new marketing campaign)
An upcoming advertising effort hopes to boost soft drink sales, which had slumped with the emphasis on more expensive water brands. There's something wrong with this line of thinking...

The Crater
She could hear the sirens in the distance first, people shouting second, though it was muffled. In an attempt to reply to these people, Mary discovered that her mouth was full of dust and debris. She remembered that hearing was the last sense to leave when a person lost consciousness, and that it was also the first to return. The smell of sulphur was assaulting her and she tried to breathe as shallowly as possible; especially when she accidentally breathed a little too deeply, a spear of pain shot through her torso, and she realised maybe two or three ribs were at the very least cracked. Her was becoming clearer, and with it came the ringing, and suddenly there was a man in front of her face, a hand reaching out for hers, grasping. The man clasped it lightly, and when she tried to use it to help herself out of the crater she realised she was lying in, the man gently held her down. Mary felt like she had lost a layer of skin and was suddenly itching to be upright, but this man wouldn't allow her to do anything but lie still. He mouthed something but she couldn't tell what. She must have looked confused; because he said it again and as he did, her hearing improved with such speed that she almost wished it hadn't bothered.
"…just lay there, that's it lie back, you've taken a knock you have, don't be rushing into anything now, that's right love, what's your name anyway, if you hang on a minute one of the girls will be over with a nice cup of tea, then we can sort this mess out no problem, just lie still, you're going to have a couple of nasty bruises tomorrow…"
She could hear crying that was both nearby and quite a distance away at the same time. The twins. Mary craned her neck as far as the well-meaning gentleman would let her, but there was only rubble. The entire building had come down around her head, and the nurse inside her was already cataloguing the potential injuries of those that had been inside when the bomb struck. She had been inside when the bomb struck. The twins.
"… here's that cup of tea now, that looks lovely doesn't it, that tea will put you right love, don't you worry about that, just got to wait for one of the medics to take a look at that cut on your head and that shoulder of yours isn't looking very pretty is it, say, what is your name anyway? Joan, perhaps, yes, you look like a Joan, that's what I'll call you if you don't mind, just until we find out for sure, that bump on the head probably has you all befuddled doesn't it…"
"Daisy…" Mary tried to lurch to her feet but she was feeling too dizzy and her shoulder betrayed her, causing her to grit her teeth as the bones ground agonizingly against one another. Her calculating nature catalogued the dislocated shoulder along with the head injury and potential concussion.
"Daisy your name is it? Well that's a lovely name, if you don't mind my saying so, drink up Daisy that tea will do you good that will, warm you up good and proper, makes a lot of things better tea does…"
"Ellie? Well know you're just confusing me love, which is it, Daisy or Ellie? I've got a niece called Ellie, lovely girl she is, always got a smile on her face…"
The gentleman looked alarmed for a moment at the sound, before it finally dawned on him that they should be looking for more people. He suddenly became very fidgety.
"Oh I see, well don't worry miss, we got the best men out there looking for them. You stay there for a moment, let me find out how they're getting on." He stood up and hurried away without another word. Mary tried to follow, but a second wave of nausea meant she had to roll over in her crater and find a decent place to vomit. In one sense she was grateful. This pain she was in, it meant she was alive. If she concentrated, she could hear the shrieking of a child. It sounded like a boy, like…

Career Paths: The Climb
As these eight pharma execs tell Larry Dobrow, achieving long-term success takes learning, listening, adapting and connecting with colleagues
Career Paths: The Climb
Janie Rodriguez, senior manager Toviaz marketing—global innovative pharma, Pfizer (below)
John Fish, global director, digital customer experience, AstraZeneca
Oved Amitay, vice president, head of commercial, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals
Deborah Dunsire, president and CEO, FORUM Pharmaceuticals
Robert Greif, vice president, commercial operations, Revo Biologics
Brianne Weingarten, executive director alliance management and R&D project leader, Purdue Pharma
Amy Chafin, director, US brand/marketing, Lilly Oncology
Sean Clark, head, US marketing, Alcon Surgical Division
Janie Rodriguez, senior manager Toviaz Marketing—global innovative pharma, PfizerTime in the industry: 16 years
Original career goal: College professor
Previous jobs: Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals Group, Strategic Marketing - health economics & pricing manager; Daiichi Pharmaceuticals—marketing; Boehringer Ingelheim—marketing
How did you get into healthcare/pharma?
After graduate school, I was hired by J&J based on my background on race-based discrimination and health outcomes.
What valuable skills have you picked up along the way?
Influencing and negotiation skills. This is of particular importance as marketers interact with legal, medical and regulatory groups.
What was your "eureka!" moment as a professional?
I'm not sure it happens that way. I think it is more like a progressive build of confidence as you pick up new skills and overcome challenges.
What has surprised you most about working in the industry?
Just how much of a healthcare/pharma marketer's time is devoted to non-revenue-generating activities (e.g. audits, contracts, business rationale forms).
To whom do you owe your success?
My mother. She taught me to be kind, empathetic and assertive, qualities that have served me well as a marketer working in a highly matrixed organization. It took me some time to realize it, but I also learned from her about work ethic, discipline and resilience.
Who were your inspirations and mentors, and why?
I've had different advisors and confidants along the way, but my boss at my first marketing job at Daiichi played a critical role in my development as a marketer. Dawn J. Smith taught me about process and project management while instilling the importance of being strategic. Most importantly, she emphasized the need to have fun while at work. She placed a butterfly sticker on my office door to emphasize the need to be social at work.
What do you consider to be your greatest professional strength, and how did you develop it?
I always ask for feedback about what I am doing right and what I need to stop doing. I don't like to wait for an annual review to get information about my performance. Although sometimes it's hard to hear, I prefer to get feedback in real-time and I actively seek it out.
Looking back, is there anything you would have done differently? I would have asked more questions along the way. I was raised in a culture where asking questions could often be interpreted as being confrontational or irreverent. I wish I had realized those cultural differences sooner.
What advice would you give others looking to get into the industry or move up the ranks?
Always ask why. Be vocal; get yourself noticed. Working hard alone won't get you noticed. Join professional organizations, such as the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association (HBA) and volunteer. That is the best way to network.

Get a college tennis scholarship: 5 tips.
Ross Greenstein shares 5 tips for making the recruiting process successful.
Ross Greenstein reached a national junior ranking of of 23 and was recruited by the top American tennis programs, ultimately playing for the University of Florida. He found that so many parents and juniors weren't planning recruitment correctly that he founded Scholarship for Athletes, a consulting company that helps parents secure scholarships with the colleges their kids want most.
Five tips for making the recruiting process successful:
1. Start early.
Have your child attend practices and camps at local universities as early as 7th and 8th grade, to get to know the college coaches there.
2. Let the kids do the talking.
Your kid should send out the emails and make the phone calls to college coaches. Not you.
3. Non-elite players do get scholarships.
Having a major coach as an advocate can influence schools to offer you a scholarship based on your potential.
4. The #1 factor in a college's decision? The interview.
Be certain that your kid knows and is liked by the coaches and players prior to the interview.
5. The number one payoff of a scholarship isn't money. It's connections.
College is a great opportunity to build friendships and business relationships with powerful students and alumni.
