The Miami airport has some of the highest airport security measures in a nation with very strict international guidelines. Your trip will be smoother, and your waits for passing security gates made shorter if you have all your travel documents in order. Completing the ESTA form for your cell phone is the quickest way to pass security clearance. It's a long flight, with long waiting lines, so prepare your family and yourself well by dressing comfortably and bringing along reading material or hand-held games.
It's best to take a taxi to your hotel if you're new to Miami, especially if you have a lot of luggage. Airport personnel will advise you that only you are responsible for the things you carry with you and will urge you to keep a close watch on your possessions. Once you are in the Miami streets, you'll need to double up on your watchfulness.
Some areas of Miami have a high crime rate. Competing gangs rove through the streets. There are homicides, burglaries, theft and assorted violent acts. The tourist designated areas of Miami Beach are perfectly safe, as well as downtown Miami, but be cautious about areas you know nothing about and do not seem to attract a lot of tourism.
There are plenty of places to party in Miami, but the evenings are when you should be the most cautious. Taxis are usually preferred by first time visitors to rental cars. Not only is it difficult to find parking spaces, but the space you find might be in an undesirable neighbourhood.
Don't make it obvious you're a tourist. Behave as though you know where you're going, even if you're momentarily lost. If you have to check a map or your GPS finder, do it discreetly. Stick with a group whenever you can, don't wear flashy or expensive accessories and keep your valuables well stashed.
Considering Miami is a prime vacation spot, with a huge International crowd, it's not difficult to find a safe area for enjoying your holiday. North Beach, Miami, is the most child-friendly location, with amusement parks, nature parks and an ancient Spanish monastery. The most interesting Art Deco architecture is there and an assortment of modestly priced restaurants and hotels.
South Beach is a cat of two different colours. By day, it's family oriented, by night it's a hotspot for entertainment. The glitz, the sparkle, the celebrities and stars of their own show stimulate the evening night life with modern music, dancing and wine.
Little Havana is a wonderful place to go for experiencing Cuban culture without flying in to Cuba. Established by the Cuban migrations during the 1960's, it was voted by the community of tourists as the fourth most important place to visit in Miami.
Miami residents are a generally laid back people. They are casual in their dress and manners, but are defensive toward perceived aggression. If you are driving, beware of road rage. This can occur when a driver cuts another one off at an intersection, when one driver speeds by another or anything else the angry driver views as poor manners. To make sure you're not an accidental target of road rage, remember to drive on the right hand side of the road and have your destination clearly planned out. You can use the 511system to receive all traffic updates on all Florida interstates, toll roads and other major roads, as well as free phone transfers to other local agencies. If you do encounter problems while driving, dial 911.
Parties last all night in Miami, but local parties can get rowdy, depending on the neighbourhood. If you are visiting a local bar or tavern, you may wish to leave early, as once those morning hours start rolling around, things can get bawdy.
Brush up on your Spanish. Over sixty percent of Miami residents are Spanish speaking or know Spanish as a second language. You'll find the English vocabulary often spiced with Spanish phrases or Spanish expressions.
Wear thongs or sandals on the beach, even if you're just walking a short distance. The sand is hot, especially during the dry months, and your feet will burn easily. Keep your walking shoes light and comfortable for a similar reason. If your shoes are warm at all, your feet could blister after a long day of shopping and sight-seeing.
Obviously, the first thing on your agenda will be to make sure you have plenty of loose, light clothing. You'll also want to carry along your swimsuit. No matter what time of year you visit Miami, there will probably be opportunities for sun-bathing and swimming. While you're at it, make sure you have plenty of sun-block. The blast effects from the sun are serious. If you are planning to visit the Everglades or the national parks, you will also need mosquito repellent. Both items are easily available in Miami, so if you need room in your suitcase, you can pick them up on arrival.
Your cell phone is your best friend. You can sail through customs easier by completing your ESTA form, and download applications for travel guidance and service providers. Keep your cell phone with you at all times, or safely guarded while you are swimming.
Leave your most expensive jewellery behind, along with your favourite watch or other memorable decorative items. Carry only items that won't cause you grief to part with; although there is much of the rich and glamorous in Miami, it also has a large poor-to-middle-class population. An ostentatious show of wealth is a temptation to the poorer working classes.
A laptop is a valuable tool, and you'll be thankful more than once that you brought one, but restrict the number of electronic instruments you carry for your holiday. Cameras, laptops and tablets should be kept to a minimum, and secured safely in your bags when not in use. Lock your bags whenever you leave the hotel.
Miami is a unique experience. It's a cross-road for the Northern American and Latin American culture. It's lively and youthful in a state with the lowest percentage of a youthful population. It has the traditional texture of southern colonialism, the heritage of Native American culture and an energetic Caribbean flavour.

The Arctic is melting, forests are burning and the world is warming up. Such problems are hard to think about while jostling for a seat on the Tube, or trying to remember what exactly to pick up for dinner on the way home. But some of these things are more connected than you might think.
The Evening Standard's campaign against food waste will help save both money and the planet. Perhaps a third of the world's food — 1.3 billion tonnes — is wasted each year. The latest estimates suggest Europeans threw out 88 million tonnes of food in 2012 — 173 kg per person. The wasted items were worth £125 billion. Europeans take pride in being green, yet in fact they chuck away only slightly less each year, per head, than North Americans or Australians.
Squandering food also means squandering much of the water, fertilizer, feed, oil and other items needed to produce it in the first place. The amount of water used to produce unwanted food is enormous: a volume equivalent to the annual flow of Russia's huge Volga river, according to the UN.
Leaving meat on your plate is worse than almost anything else. Producing a kilogram of grain requires 1,500 litres of water; a kilogram of beef requires 10 times as much. And emissions from farming add up. If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest polluter in the world (after China and America).
Shops and restaurants need to work out what to do with their waste. In this respect, at least, Europe is leading the way. In February France passed a law requiring supermarkets to donate unwanted items or face a fine. In August, Italian lawmakers made it far easier for supermarkets to give out waste food by changing tax rules.
Knowing what is being thrown out, and where, remains a challenge everywhere else. This is why it is important that Sainsbury's supports The Evening Standard's campaign against food waste, and why its plan to release its data on waste is a useful step forward.
Technology can also help. Several apps exist to connect outlets which have too much food to groups with too little. One app, FoodCloud, based in Dublin, links up local homeless shelters and food banks with a nearby supermarket. About 740 stores across Britain and Ireland are involved, including ones owned by Tesco and Aldi.
FoodCloud keeps track of precisely what type of food needs collecting, where and when, so that items aren't left lying around and the food remains safe to eat. There are also ways to help without a smartphone, such as asking to take away leftovers from a restaurant meal (and actually eating them the next day).
Most food waste is thrown out by households, and confusion over what labels on packets actually mean makes the problem worse. The EU rolled out "best before" and "use by" labels in 2014. The first type of label gives the date by which food can still be eaten, even if it is past its prime. The second type tells people when it is no longer safe to consume something.
Theresa May announced last weekend that she wants to change the system in Britain. Campaign against waste, and eat all your greens, if you want to do something for both poorer families and the planet as a whole.
Miranda Johnson is environment correspondent for The Economist

Windows Phone 7.1 "Mango" Set to Juice the Market This Fall
Jason Mick
May 24, 2011 12:01 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Look, Microsoft has one tenth the apps of Android!! Yay!
(Source: Engadget)
Visual search -- pretty amazing. A grown man visual searching for Miley Cyrus -- pretty embarrassing.
(Source: Engadget)
Fujitsu and Acer are making phones? You better believe it. Along with ZTE, they're among the new crop of Windows Phone makers.
(Source: Engadget)
"Everyone wants the Mango!"
(Source: NBC/SNL)
New update brings multi-tasking, tighter Skype integration, improved input, new devices and more
Three new hardware partners; major UI improvements; OS upgrades -- Microsoft Corp.'s (
) "Mango" is shaping up to be a killer refresh for Windows Phone. Today at a
special event
the company previewed the upcoming smart phone operating system and how it hopes to finally convince customers to ditch rivals Android and iOS.
The new OS
packs 500+ new features
. Want a taste? Read on.
I. Messaging and GUI Interaction
Microsoft has clearly invested a lot of thought and effort into improving
its base GUI
The revisions start with the keyboard, which now contains word suggestions, using predictive logic based on what you typed. No word (ha, pun) on whether the logic will be adaptive, though, to your particular writing idiosyncrasies.
Along with the improved keyboard comes improved speech to text. Much like the feature in Android, you can now speak to your phone and it will dictate what you said in the form of text for handy use in email or text messages. The phone will also read you text messages. Both features work while music is playing, but dropping the music volume.
Microsoft's already rich "People" social tile has received some improvements. You can now make "Groups" say of your college buddies or your significant other's family members, etc. Each group will get separate pictorial updates from various feeds, including the ubiquitous Facebook.
Speaking of Facebook, you can now multi-platform message. In a single thread you can mix Facebook messages and texts.
Similarly email has received a Facebook. You can now select important emails as do not forward to prevent embarrassing accidents. The email client now has an integrated calendar, which syncs automatically with the calendar in your Facebook account.
II. Apps
Microsoft showed of a number of apps, both first and third party. It also showed off features that broadly apply to third party apps in general.
Windows Phone now allows third party tiles, visible on the front screen. For example, British Airways showed off an app that allowed fliers to take 3D tours of their aircraft and get live updates via the app tile about flight times and more.
And multi-tasking has been added, as we predicted in our coverage yesterday. You enter a multi-program menu that shows you preview windows that you can flip through a la cover flow. When you reenter a program, whatever you were doing resumes. For example, a game will pause when you window out and start up again when you window in (so be prepared).
The app show began with the Pictures tile/app, Microsoft's first party design. Facebook auto-tagging and uploading has been added. Windows Phone Senior Project Manager Derek Snyder also showed off a fully functional mobile version of Office opening spreadsheets.
Integration with
recent acquisition Skype
was also promised.
Microsoft also showed off a working build of Internet Explorer 9 Mobile, which in a live test beat the stock browsers from Google Inc. (GOOG) (though they used a handset with Android 2.2, not the latest Android 2.3), Research in Motion Ltd. (
), and Apple, Inc. (
) in an HTML5 benchmark, Speed Reading.
Via a feature called "App Connect", the snazzy new browser can also pass off info into apps like, say, movie search results into the IMDB app. Searches in Bing, as before, are location aware. Maps looked particularly impressive in IE9m, with searches by business type and reviews of the results all neatly integrated in.
Another impressive feature is Visual Search. Visual Search lets you take a picture of something and have Bing automatically search for it based on image and text recognition technology. Mr. Snyder searched for Miley Cyrus (hey, we're not judging).
Microsoft says that its app library now includes 18,000 apps. That's not bad, but it's still a far cry from the 200,000+ Android apps and the 350,000 some iPhone/iPad apps.
III. Hardware Partners
Despite rocky early months (Windows Mobile is currently outselling Windows Phone 7), hardware providers appear to be sticking by Microsoft.
It announced that South Korea's Samsung Electronics (
) and LG Electronics Inc. (
), along with Taiwan's HTC Corp. (
) are renewing their commitments to WP7. New to the party are China's ZTE Corp. (
), Taiwan's Acer Inc. (
), and Japan's Fujitsu Ltd. (
) are all jumping in as well. Both Acer and Fujitsu have little previous phone experience.
Microsoft biggest hardware partner will be Finland's Nokia Oyj.'s (
), the
world's largest smart phone maker
. Nokia plans to
phase out its proprietary Symbian OS
and replace it with Windows Phone within the next couple years.
IV. Final Details
Mango will land at the beginning of the fall, which likely means August. That puts it narrowly before the
rumored launch of the iPhone 5
(September). Google's next great thing --
Android 3.5 "Ice Cream Sandwich"
-- won't launch till sometime between October and December.
That all means that at the start of the fall Microsoft may have the phone to beat -- if anybody pays attention.
Its hardware partners are planning on new devices, and existing partners will update current customers' phones to the new OS.
Microsoft has officially dubbed "Mango" Windows Phone 7.1, contrary to prior reports that suggested it would be Windows Phone 7.5.
The company promises to release a Beta software development kit (SDK) to developers within 24 hours. That release should fill in the gaps about the remaining additions (not all the 500 features were covered).
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: September 2015
As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services prepares to finalize a plan to pay physicians for discussing end-of-life treatment options with Medicare patients, this month's Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds that about 8 in 10 of the public favors Medicare and private insurance covering such discussions and about 9 in 10 say doctors should have these discussions with their patients. However, relatively few (17 percent) say they've had such discussions with a doctor or other health care provider, while half of the public says they would want to have such a discussion. Overall, opinion of the health care law has remained divided with similar shares reporting favorable views (41 percent) and unfavorable views (45 percent), with opinion starkly divided by party. The Kaiser Health Policy News Index also finds that the 2016 presidential election is the most widely followed news story included in this month's Index, placing far ahead of health policy news stories.Poll Finding Read More

Health Insurance Coverage in 2013: Gains in Public Coverage Continue to Offset Loss of Private Insurance

Great music, awful commerce
One of the great and important Ring cycle, although not in very good sound, due to the recording conditions. The performances speak for themselves and should be heard by anyone interested in the Ring.
However, don't get this download. The CD box itself can be had for a fraction of this price, usually under $40. Why Opera d'Oro/iTunes charge $140 for the download is unknown, but this is a case where the unwary consumer will be totally ripped off.
Historic recording
I'm happy to find this on Itunes. It's worth some coughing to hear the greats!

Momma to my boy (1/99) & girl (7/00), Birthmomma to my Ladybug (8/09), the new baby monkey boy born 6/6/11!
Student nurse, doula, future midwife, and breastfeeding, bedsharing, babywearing, organic gardening, God-loving single momma
I was actually going to talk to my OB about the placenta at my next appointment! I know with my daughter, we were not allowed to take the placenta home (hospital policy). I'm having this baby at a different hospital, so hopefully, things will be different!
Aww, thanks It was a very long and trying 26 months, but I'm glad I stuck to it for as long as I did. I would EP again *if I had to* but I'm really hoping that this little one will nurse!
I can honestly say that I don't have any fears. There are things that I wonder about, of course. Like will I be at work when I go into labor? Or at the water park? lol I'm also wondering how things at my office will function without me gone and if I am going to get into the university that I applied to and be able to start classes after the baby is born.
This baby is being adopted and I'm wondering how that whole post-birth transition is going to go. I adore the adoptive parents and they will be at the birth center when this little girl is born. The AM (adoptive mom) is planning on catching the baby. I hope that she doesn't freak out or ask me questions during transition, but that's what my midwives are for.
My previous births weren't perfect, but they weren't horrible either. And I guess I see no point in stressing out about the things that I can't do anything about. I can't control the baby's position, or when I go into labor, or how long my labor is. I can't control how the adoptive parents deal with things or how they react to things. What I can do is make my needs known and control my reactions to things. The rest is out of my hands and fearing it won't make it better, it will make it worse.

Bandh Baretha is an old wildlife reserve. It is located at a distance of 65 km from the city of Bharatpur. In this reserve, tourists can witness some spectacular wildlife species, such as leopard, chital, sambhar, blue bull, wild boar and hyena. In addition, this wildlife reserve is home to about 200 rare variety of birds.
In the reserve, lies a dam that is built over the Kakund river. The construction of this dam was initiated in 1866, by Maharaja Jaswant Singh. However, the completion of the dam took place between 1897-88, during Maharaja Ram Singh's rule. The reserve also has an ancient palace that belongs to the royal family of Bharatpur.

I spend months researching these and finally decided to get one. So glad I did! I am able to use Microsoft Office on it and accomplished all my final papers and tests for school. It's so much easier to lug around through airports than my laptop. It's as much fun to work on as it is to play on and I am so glad I got the Surface Pro 2 with Windows 8.1. Worth the money!!
thier is no need to get a big bulky laptop, just get this tablet it is way better then an IPad this tablet has a better screen then any other tablet on the market yes it is very pricy but way way worth it for the price it also work with any stylist out their and also u can use any wireless mouse and keyboard
Even at 899.00 this tab is way too pricey for what you get. Only 1.7Ghz CPU ,and 4 Gig of internal memory is not a good buy. It doesn't do anything better than a lot of less expensive tablets do for half the price. Windows 8.1 over 8.0 is not a determining factor both OS are just as functional, also 8.1 is usually offered as a free upgrade if unit is installed with 8.0. I would expect for the price that the CPU should at least be a minimum of 2.5 Ghz Dual core if not Quad. Memory should be minimum of 8 Gig and HDD a minimum of 128 Gig. All I can say do your homework and shop around there are better deals out there with cutting edge technology for the price. Don't allow yourself to get caught up in all the hype.
We have two of these and just love it.
Got one for a friend and he is enjoys the flexibility of it.
We all use it for home and work.. great product.
Not worth for the price. Other better alternatives are available.
Fast and versatile. Bought at $499 so price was right on target for what a tablet should cost. I use it for business and a little down time on the side. Well made and durable. A little heavy once you get the keyboard and folio case on it but still a lot more versatile than a laptop. This is the best business tool I've bought in a while.
I bought the surface pro 8 to use for my business. The RT I bought last year was okay (no problems) but I needed the pro 8 because I can run 3rd party software on it unlike the RT. I know tablets are for basic entertainment but the pro 8 offers the ability for me to use it in a business environment that the RT apps do not.
I like this product. The only issue I have is getting use to the touch screen which will take practice. I honestly prefer a mouse but I liked this tablet because of the Windows 8 OS.
I recommend this product for ease and compatibility to learning how to use it based on going from familiarity of a PC to a tablet.
Love the versatility of the tablet, it would be nice to have somewhere to store the stylus - like a phone does, but I don't use it that much to worry about it.
I love the ability to access my word and excel documents. Plus having tablet functions on a mini computer
I am very pleased

Soulection Radio Show #146
Joe Kay
Coming off a heavy week-end and crazy party in LA (Fire Cracker 15 Year Anniversary) this past Friday, Joe went in HEAVY to make up for last week's situation. Even though he was on 1 hour of sleep he still managed to get in 116 tracks in 3 hours! Say whattttt? Music heals.
There is something for everybody in here. Lots of unreleased music + music that was forgotten about. Shouts to all the amazing people who tuned in to the live show. Every once in a while we like to make a post about the location of our radio listeners and it's always inspiring to see how many people are actually tuning in and the locations that they reside in. We can't even pronounce some of the cities/countries! Talk about worldwide. Lets keep it moving.

The comparative influences of structural ordering, grain size, Li-content, and bulk density on the Li+-conductivity of Li0.29La0.57TiO3

The lattice and total Li+-ionic conductivity of Li0.29La0.57TiO3 ceramic (LLTO) sintered at 1200 °C were determined as functions of powder calcination temperature and sintering duration, and these results were correlated with the relative degrees of Li+-ordering, Li-content, grain size, and bulk density to assess the relative impact of these parameters on material performance. Under all conditions, LLTO formed with a high degree of tetragonal superstructure to its perovskite related framework, and the lattice conductivity closely followed the relative amounts of the superstructure, as evaluated via determination of the sample ordering parameter from X-ray diffraction data. LLTO powders that were calcined at 900 °C for 1 h and sintered at 1200 °C for 6 h gave lattice conductivity values (~1.14 × 10−3 S cm−1) comparable within the highest ranges reported in the literature. This coincided with the lowest degree of tetragonal superstructure formation, and it was also found to be largely independent of the values of Li-content measured on sintered ceramic despite significant Li2O volatilization at longer sintering times (up to 23 % after 12 h at 1200 °C). Samples of LLTO powder that were calcined at 1100 °C and sintered at 1200 °C for 12 h resulted in the highest total Li-ion conductivity value ~6.30 × 10−5 S cm−1. The total conductivity of LLTO varied inversely with grain size when the grains were <20 μm but was insensitive to that parameter above that size threshold. The strongest influence on total conductivity was primarily the bulk ceramic density. It was estimated from measured values that as the bulk ceramic density approached the full theoretical value for LLTO the total conductivity could near the lattice conductivity of ~1.2 × 10−3 S cm−1.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Verizon has added to my bill charges from a third party that I thought to be legitimate. Now I find that what they are doing is called cramming, letting USBI/Consumer Telcom make bogus charges for something I did not agree to. Apparently, Verizon shares in these unauthorized profits. I can't afford the medications I need and these companies are taking over $40.00 a month from me. This needs to stop and people who have fallen prey should be reimbursed.

This unit works in Europe! I live in the UK and had one imported by B&H Photo Video in New York, it works perfectly with my UK power supply.
I upgraded from a PT-AE2000 and am impressed with the upgrade, it isnt a major leap in quality but is definately noticeable in brightness, black levels, and things looking a bit more 3D.

Two Wauwatosa teens were arrested for mugging a schoolmate Monday.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
A 16-year-old boy was walking home from Wauwatosa East High School about 4 p.m., when he noticed two guys seemed to be following him. As he approached 74th Street and Melrose Avenue, one of the guys tapped him on the arm and asked if they knew each other.
As the boy started to walk away, he was grabbed by the arm and an object was pushed against the back of his head.
The robber told him to give him all his money, so the boy emptied his wallet. The two muggers ran off, and the boy told a woman who was out in her yard that he had just been robbed.
A school resource officer found the description fit two boys - ages 14 and 15 - that attend the school. He found them walking near Roosevelt Elementary School, where they were arrested for armed robbery. No weapons were found on the teens.

Despite the advent of the digital age, nothing can polish off a good business look like a women's briefcase. While it may be needed to hold a digital tablet and a cellphone instead of paperwork exclusively, a quality briefcase is still a great way for a woman to look professional and put together in a business environment. Today's briefcase options for women are wide ranging and can offer a feasible solution to any woman with a sense of style. Gone are the days of the traditional, rectangular, men's style briefcase. When shopping for a briefcase, women can benefit from having a clear idea of the different styles available in the world of women's briefcases and their applicability in different workplaces. Having an understanding, as well, of the retail options available to them can also be of great help. Although women's briefcases may be available in mainstream retail shops, they may encounter a wider selection of briefcases online through the auction site, eBay.
A Brief History of the Briefcase
The first iteration of a briefcase was created in 1826 in Paris by the bag manufacturer, Godillot. The manufacturer placed a metal frame inside a traditional, collapsible carpet bag, thereby creating the first structured carrying case. From there, other variations on a structured bag design appeared on the market, including the classic Gladstone bag and the lesser-known Rosebery.
By the middle of the 19th century, the first rectangular structured briefcase was in use in Paris. The trend would eventually come to define business accessories for professionals and, by the mid-20th century, was prevalent in business environments around the world. As women moved into the business world, briefcases slowly transitioned into more varied and feminine designs. Today, women's briefcases vary from the traditional briefcase look to more fashion-forward choices.
Types of Briefcases for the Working Girl
Thanks to the diversity available in women's briefcases today, any woman with a sense of style, working in any milieu, can find a viable bag that reflects both her own ethos and complements her professional environment. The following are some of the more popular types of women's briefcases, including descriptions on their features and recommendations on the business environments in which these briefcases are compatible.
The Working Girl's Schoolbag-Style Briefcase
For women who work in more casual or creative business environments, a schoolbag-style briefcase can provide a fun and easy solution to a woman's briefcase needs. A schoolbag-style briefcase resembles the classic knapsack structure of a child's schoolbag. These whimsical variations on a traditional briefcase can feature a single strap for carrying the satchel across the chest or on the shoulder, or two straps for wearing it on the back, and a carrying handle at the top of the case. Schoolbag-style briefcases are commonly found in leather or in canvas with leather trim. Schoolbag-style briefcases also usually come with one or two front pockets and sections that allow a woman to keep accessories and devices organised.
The Working Girl's Handbag-Style Briefcase
Handbag-style briefcases for women mimic the style of a fashion handbag or purse. They give a woman a way to look fashionable and on-trend while still getting the functionality she needs from a briefcase. A handbag-style briefcase can be large enough to carry a small laptop and typically has a single large cavity inside the bag for toting items. The facade of a handbag-style briefcase can have all the usual details of a woman's fashion handbag, including buckles, logo details, and an arm strap. The bag may be made of leather, faux leather, faux alligator, or suede. Handbag-style briefcases can work well in media and fashion business environments or in a field such as sales or real estate where au courant polish can be an essential part of a woman's business persona.
The Working Girl's Satchel Briefcase
Satchel briefcases resemble old-school travel satchels, typically with a leather or faux leather design, large front buckles, spacious exterior pockets, and a long carrying strap. These briefcases offer voluminous storage options and are usually quite large. A satchel briefcase can have a slouchy or structured design. This type of briefcase can do double duty as a carry-all for other items needed during the day, including a change of clothes and toiletries. Satchel-style briefcases are often found in faux leather designs as well. They are a good option for the working girl in creative fields, or technical fields such as engineering or architecture. They are not necessarily appropriate for traditional corporate environments.
The Working Girl's Executive Briefcase
Executive briefcases for the working woman are based on the classic attache design that defined much of the latter half of the 19th century. These boxy, rectangular briefcases open up like a suitcase and have one large interior cavity for storing paperwork and devices. The interior of an executive briefcase can feature pockets and dividers that provide a woman with a way to organise her belongings. The exterior of an executive women's briefcase is typically one colour of leather or faux leather, most often in black or dark brown. Executive briefcases are ideal for women who work in corporate environments, in financial services, or in any professional environment with a corporate-style dress code.
The Working Girl's Messenger-style Briefcase
Messenger-style briefcases are large satchels that are typically worn at the base of the back with a large strap worn diagonally across the centre of the chest. These bags are ideal for toting laptops and can feature front pocket designs that provide some organisational structure to the bag. Messenger-style bags are a good choice for writers and professionals in creative fields. Messenger bags can be found in canvas, vinyl, and leather typically. They are highly sturdy and resilient bags that can stand up to a good deal of use and wear and tear.
The Working Girl's Travel Pilot Bag-Style Briefcase
Pilot bag briefcases are attache-like briefcases that typically have a wheeled structure and an extendable carrying handle that allows a working girl to wheel the briefcase through airports while carrying other bags, tickets, etc. This travel-style of briefcase is a perfect choice for professionals who travel often for business. The briefcase can function as a carry-on or as a reliable and sturdy check-in item. The interior of these briefcases is much like any briefcase, while the exterior is often made of a durable vinyl blend to protect it during storage and travel. When not being rolled through an airport, the handle can be retracted into the body of the case, giving it a look much like a traditional briefcase and making it appropriate for a wide range of business environments.
Shopping for Women's Briefcases
Mainstream, offline retailers may carry a limited range of briefcases for women. Office and luggage specialty stores may offer some selections as well. The options available at offline retailers, however, are usually limited to seasonal trends and colours. Women who want to look through one of the widest catalogues of briefcases can do well to leverage the power of the online auction site, eBay.
Buying Women's Briefcases on eBay
There are a good number of ways in which you can approach buying a women's briefcase on eBay, but you can opt for beginning with a basic search. Typing in a general term such as "women's briefcase" can produce a large number of listings for your perusal. If you have a certain style in mind already, run a search using that term; for example, you could search for "women's schoolbag briefcase". Keep an eye out for eBay's related search suggestions. These useful tips can help refine your search or open up new possibilities you had not considered.
The buying process on eBay can be greatly facilitated by taking some time when on the site to get to know the sellers you come across. If you see a listing that seems relevant to your needs, take a moment to review the seller's past auctions and look through feedback the seller has received from other customers. Alternately, you may choose to only purchase from eBay's top-rated suppliers. Either option can ensure that you receive exactly the type of briefcase you want from a reliable supplier.
Finding the right briefcase to complete a business ensemble can be a perfect finishing detail to a woman's professional persona. Women's briefcases have transitioned away from the narrow confines of the executive style attache and now include myriad options that can flatter any woman's sense of fashion. Wading through these options can seem like a tall order of business, but not if if a woman takes the time to familiarise herself with the different styles available. If she takes the time to consider the style can best complement her professional look, a woman can begin the process of buying a briefcase on the right track. While some traditional vendors may offer a limited selection of briefcases, online auction sites such as eBay offer a much more diverse range of selections. On eBay, women can access any number of briefcase styles and, by taking the time to evaluate their sellers, find the ideal briefcase to match their professional endeavours.

The Price of Honor
Outside, war raged.
Outside, bombs fell.
Outside, men died.
And he was away from it all. As far as he possibly could be.
"General, tell us - "
The walky-talky's voice turned into a garble of incomprehensible static as he turned the knob violently with a trembling hand. He waited, shaking at the anticipation of the frightened soldier's voice wafting through the air again.
More static.
His hand drew away, and dropped in his lap. The uniform was neatly kept, in good condition - it had never been stained by the grime of war, nor had it been soiled by the mire created by the rains.
The decorations felt heavy, useless. They were only a mark of guilt.
Endless guilt.
There was nothing more than guilt and lies.
General Forrester crouched low over his seat, his forehead nearly brushing his knees as he tired to hide.
Lee should have been decorated, not him.
Never him.
His jerky motions clicked the walky-talky into action again, and more eager questions, more hopeful cries resounded from the electronic device.
He reached over with the intent to throw the infernal thing at the wall - to shatter it and finally sever the connection between him and the men hanging by a thread.
A bomb exploded overhead, making the shelter shake in its tinny foundations. The General covered his hand with his heads and closed his eyes.
Outside, men died.
Inside, a coward lived.

The problem is, that some channels are missing and I can't add them manually, if I don't know the way how to translate my european-channel-system to the one win7 uses.

Scorpio: Intoxication
I sit there watching him, a mixture of revulsion and curiosity in my mind, wondering if that was what I looked like when I drank, such an expert, so easy. he gestured to them, as if he wanted me to try it, part of me did, just to see what effect it would have on me.
"I can't," I say, he mouths the word wuss, "no it's not that, it's my skin, its hard and cold, knives can't cut it, falls and crashes don't break it, trust me I've tried," I mumble.
Subconciously I had picked up the bottle of wine though, tracing the rim with a finger making a melancholy sounds.
"Tell me, what do you feel for Gemme?"
He looks at me with annoyance.
"No, I'm not asking like that, I'm just, curious," I can't resist, I take a swig.
"Well, I think she's cool but, I don't know her enough and I don't just let people in that easy I-" I wasn't hearing him now, just drinking, the nector filling my throat, making me lose my problems, my worries. Forgetting.

Core Image with Face Detection and Image Filters
Adobe Air Native Extensions
$74.99 $99.00
is on back order
The FULL native iOS Core Image framework is now available to you as an AIR Native Extension with face detection and image filters. You can easily detect faces in images or live video in real-time from the camera, and apply filters to any image. You can even combine the two features and apply filters to the face areas in an image.
The iOS Core Image native extension comes with 90+ built-in image filters such as blurs, color adjustments, color effects, image blending, distortions, just to name a few. And applying a filter is just one method call. It's so easy that Instagram (the image filtering part) can be done with only a few lines of code.
With the face detection feature and its convenience utilities in the iOS Core image ANE, you can quickly embed a preview video of the camera to your app or game, and change/rotate your view according to where the user's face is at. Imagine changing the perspective of your game when the user moves left and right. This provides a more interactive user experience.
The high-level API is extremely easy to use, but if you need more advanced functionalities, you can use the low-level API, which comes with 30+ classes and 240+ methods.
Important Note: This ANE supports iOS, and implements the FULL iOS Core Image framework.

- High-level API for easy usage.
- Low-level API with 30+ classes and 240+ methods for advanced functionalities.

Long Island, then on to Cape Cod
... route and avoids tracking back down to New York. We crossed Shelter Island which is a fairly quiet place with wineries. Our second ferry ride took us to Green Port where we stopped in a quaint village for the nicest coffee we've had in the US. (The others haven't been hard to beat.) From there we headed to Orient for a 1hr 20min ferry ride to New London, then drove onto Cape Cod. ...
Nautical History
... the sun comes up. We were headed to Mystic Pizza for lunch but got waylaid doing a few geocaches and a stop at an estate sale along the way. Although we couldn't get the Scallop Pizza we've dreamed about for 3 years, we settled for one of their specialty pizzas which was excellent. We toured the area driving up and down streets near the harbor and enjoyed the quaintness of this area.

A day In Montauk
Anyways so I recently quit my job due to zero job satisfaction. Life was monotonous. Wake up in the morning, get ready, skip breakfast, get to work, work till your every level are low and get back home, work out, and sleep.This is generally how everyone of us lives during the weekdays and some souls do the same on the weekends. I was bored, so out of the blue I packed my bag and took a train to Montauk.No reservations, no planning no blah blah blah.

We are having yet another bonfire on Saturday to celebrate his birthday and on Sunday we leave to go back to the City. I just put the girls to bed and I am so tired, but I do need my nightly walk on the beach so hopefully I finish work ...

It's day four of Viracept for Sherri Lewis. "I've had a surge of energy that is unbelievable," says Lewis, whose recent CD4 count of 230 and viral load of 100,000 convinced her that it was cocktail hour.
Lewis tested positive in 1987 as part of the blood work required for a marriage license. That union didn't last long, but she's been with her current, HIV negative beau for five years. "It's not a health worry," she says of their serodiscordance, "just an emotional worry."
Lewis' one-woman show, Life Is a Beach, recently finished a critically acclaimed run in Boston. "Because I'm an artist, I put my AIDS activism in that framework," she says. The result -- an odyssey through Lewis' 43 years, from her nights as a singer in New York City's early '80s club scene through her days of drug addiction -- raised more than $3,000 for local AIDS organizations.

Welcome Friends,
About Us:
H K Boot and Saddle is a small custom western boot and saddle shop located in Grand Junction on the western slope of Colorado. The owner, Harry Knipe, has a degree in boot and saddle making from Oklahoma State University. He specializes in hand made, one-of-kind boots, saddles, and half sized miniature saddles as well as various trappings associated with the art of the cowboy. His entry in the 9th World Leather Debut of 2010 won first place honors in the Boot Category. In addition, Harry is the Northwest regional director of the Colorado Saddle Maker's Association.
While in the pursuit of perfecting his art of saddle making, Harry devised a unique tool and method for setting rigging on the tree that simplified the entire process and insured accuracy without any of the time consuming measuring or anxiety normally associated with that part of construction. After other saddle makers were introduced to The Rigging Setter, many of them encouraged Harry to build and offer them for sale to others. The Rigging Setter is now in use in several saddle making schools as well as saddle shops throughout the US, Canada, and Europe.

The Burning Issue
Break down these walls
Leave behind these halls
Run free
Be me
Answer to no one
Except for the sun
Be free
Hold keys
Drive instead of walk
Smile when I talk
So free
To be…
Terry's return to our cell breaks my concentration and I let the mantra of my hoped for future slip from my fingers and reluctantly return to my pitiful present. I turn my head towards him to find that he's staring at me with a sly smile twisting his features. I repress a shudder and push up on my elbows to face him, sending our cot into its usual creaking, swaying dance.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing," he says and disappears from view as he takes a seat on the bottom bunk. I frown and lean over to stare at the top of his head. He looks up at me with wide, blinking eyes, his smile twitching in and out of existence. "Why do you think something is going on?"
"Because you look like a cat that just swallowed the family songbird," I reply. I've never seen Terry behave like this before and it's extremely unsettling. A thought slams into my mind and I'm unable to keep the panic from my voice as I ask, "You didn't kill someone, did you?"
"Manny, Manny, Manny," he says with a deep chuckle, easing onto his back and resting his head on his interlaced fingers. "Do you really think so little of me?"
"Sorry man. No, I don't. I'm just…" I let the words trail off into oblivion, unable to explain. "So what are you so bloody happy about?"
"I know a secret," he says, closing his eyes as though he's preparing to sleep. I'm glad he did; otherwise he might have seen my heart bulging in my throat. He can't know what I'm planning, can he? Have I been so obvious?
"Everybody in here knows a secret or twenty," I tell him with a weak laugh. "Where the bodies are, who is keeping the money safe, maybe even who really did what they've been locked up for. What makes yours so special?"
"Those are all Outside secrets. I know an Inside secret. This one has power where it matters, where it can be used."
"I don't have the time or patience for this stupid game, Terry. Just spit it out."
"Oh? You got somewhere else you need to be?" He opens one eye and peers up at me. "'Cause me? I got nothing but time on my hands."
He can't know.
"What, are you going to make me play twenty questions or something?" Sweat begins to form on my forehead and starts to march toward my nose. "Besides, what good is a secret if you don't tell anyone? Who else you going to tell, Olsen? Come on man, let me in on this."
"Nah, you wouldn't be interested in this anyway," he says, closing his eye and rolling onto his side. The urge to jump down there and punch him in the face until he talks is overwhelming. "Unless, of course, you want to hear about what our resident Maniac gets up to during her very… regular visits to the infirmary."
I shut my eyes and let relief wash over me like a mid-summer breeze. I take a deep breath and release it slowly. Of course he didn't know.
"Are you saying our fragile little fire flower is not so brittle as she seems?" I ask when I realize my silence has gone on too long. The next thought that occurs to me brings a laugh bubbling up to my lips. "She's not screwing the doc, is she?"
"Even better," Terry says as he returns to his back, an unpleasant smile cutting across his face. "Doc lets her burn things."
"What? How do you know that?"
"Haven't you noticed that it always smells like smoke over there?" I shake my head no; I do my best to avoid being on that floor at all. Too much screaming. Too much blood. "Well, it does. It's like the carpet soaked up the smell and the cleaners can't get it out. At first I thought the doc was a closet smoker but that was before I realized I wasn't smelling burning nicotine. Then I noticed the smell seemed to be stronger whenever our little fire lover needed to get a wound tended. So I started keeping a closer eye on her, finding an excuse to be out that way whenever I saw her faking an injury."
"You're more of a detective than the prick that put me away," I say, the right side of my lips lifting slightly. I never would have guessed that Terry was capable of such an investigation. Maybe I've misjudged him.
"Well, that ain't saying much, but thanks anyway." He laughs softly before continuing. "So. I saw her scurrying for the infirmary this afternoon and gave chase as soon as I could. And sure enough, it smelled like something was burning in there – I could almost hear the crackling of the flames. The nutter sounded like she was talking to someone too, but she was probably just talking to herself. Anyway, I barely got out of the hallway in time before she came striding out, healthy and happy as a newborn baby. That doc has got some good medicine, it seems."
"So it seems," I say and slowly shift onto my back. I wonder if this makes us even – Ana has Nevada, I have the fire therapy. Is that enough to keep her at bay or do I still have to play the 'I'll take you with me' game? Maybe I'll need to use both together to convince her not to interfere. Maybe both together will convince her to help.
A shout from the ground floor precedes the screeching and clanging of a hundred cell doors and we're locked in for the night. A few moments later the lights go down and I'm left alone with my thoughts once more.
I hope Guard Small is on duty tonight.
Burn down these walls
Set fire to them all
Just run
Be done
With all of this madness
Feel no more sadness
Must run
I'm done…

Location description from owner
The Sardinia region
For holidays, much of Sardinia's appeal lies in its beaches and landscapes, with its miles of coastline dotted with sand dunes and juniper woods. Inland the terrain is rugged, and sheep outnumber people. The island feels very different to the mainland, with different dishes and architecture. The Emerald Coast is the main resort – with its picturesque pink buildings and beautiful coastline.
Sardinia is an island in which you can find the right place for the summer holidays in Europe. White sand beaches, the sea with the colours of the Caribbean one, the history, the cuisine, the traditions and many other things. 3,5 hours of flight from Stockolm, 2,5 hours from London, 1,5 hours from Frankfurt. No jet lag problems for reaching a complete different reality in the south of Europe.
Centro Storico, Alghero
The particular feature of Alghero is that in the past this town was a colony of Spain where the prisoners of Catalunya were moved. The ancient walls on the sea, the typical streets that have still the name in Catalan language, the Neptunus Caves, the Natural Park of Porto Conte with its wild animals, the white sand beaches, the typical cuisine and so on...Alghero gets its name from the abundance of seaweed (alghe) in its surrounding waters. It was known as Algarium in the Middle Ages and Al Alguer and Barcelloneta under Spanish rule.
Alghero 's origins date back to the X Century when the Genoese, with the help of Pisans, turned the Arabs away and obtained land grants from the Judges of Logudoro, one of the groups of judges that governed Sardinia during the Middle Ages. The Genoese House of Doria took possession of the city at the beginning of the XII Century and held onto it until 1353 when the Catalan fleet defeated Genoa's ships near Porto Conte on the outskirts of Alghero. The Algherese revolted against the garrison's commanding officer, killing him. The Spanish responded by sending 12,000 men and 100 galleys to suppress the revolt. A treaty was signed and the original inhabitants were forced to abandon their homes and allow the town to be settled by Catalan families. Later, when Charles V wished to use the city as an operations base against Saracen pirates, he visited Alghero and was so warmly received by its people that he proclaimed them todos caballeros, a mark of distinction held still held in regard today by the Algherese. In 1713, when Alghero came under Austrian rule with the Treaty of Utrecht, Spain tried once again to take the city over but was obligated by the Treaty of London to yield Sardinia to the House of Savoy. Alghero was not again greatly disturbed by foreign influences until it suffered bombings during World War II. Fearing an invasion by the Allied forces, the Sardinians built bunkers in strategic locations around the city that still stand today as grim reminders of Alghero 's more troubled times.
The old city is closed behind thick fortress walls, interrupted only by solemn towers. The old city's stone streets, narrow and bordered by shops, are dotted with randomly spaced and seemingly unplanned tiny piazzas (squares). The polychrome dome of the church of San Michele and the church of St. Francis' pointed Aragonese tower dominate the city.
The monuments represent the gothic-Catalan style.
Sightseeing begins at Porta a Terra Square, on the eastern margin of the old town that extends into the vast green area of the public gardens where Giuseppe Manno's statue, a historian from Alghero, can be seen. The monument was made in 1894 by Pietra Canonica.
San Francesco street includes the town's principal meeting place Sulis square where the view of the sea is interrupted by the impressive Espero Reial and Sulis towers.Along the seaside and at the end of Colombo Way is the recently restored San Giacomo Tower (San Jaume) next to the church of Our Lady of Carmelo from the XVI Century.
The promenade Marco Polo extends past the bastion of San Giacomo, characteristic for its narrow openings from which canons were once fired. The seaside opens onto the beautiful panorama of the Algherese roads and the promontory that separates the city from the Porto Conte inlet. Its headland is called Capo Caccia.
The small tower of Polveriera (or St. Barbara) is past the bastion, where the coast reaches the north-west end of the promontory and the old city is situated. The coast then turns east, nearing the upper part of the tower of St. Elmo. From here it's possible to see the pier, the port and the landscape far to the north including the long beach of San Giovanni, the small island of Maddalena, Calic marsh and the colourful mountains of Nurra.
Continuing along Magellano Way and the seaside, you will find the narrow wall passage with a series of arches that seem to close in around the city's antique dock.
Continuing on, between the coastline and curved walls, you'll reach the summit in front of the doors that once opened to the sea. This is one of the historic accesses to the fortified city. Nearby there are the impressive ruins of the Maddalena Fort where Giuseppe Garibaldi disembarked the 14th of August 1855 as captain of the cargo ship "Il Lombardo".
Entering the old city, the visit starts in Piazza Civica (historically "placa de la Dressana"). Here medieval arches lean against the walls of Count Serra di Sant'Elia's Palace, the House of Savoy's Master of Ceremonies and the deconsecrated church of Rosario from the XVII Century.
