Fashion Search Engine Matches Outfit Photos To Retail Sites
New app finds the latest fashions using images of other people.
Snap Fashion is a search engine site that breaks down images to look for matches of outfits that users have seen on other people. Founder Jenny Griffiths explains, "We've all had that moment when you admire a stranger's look but have no idea where to get it."
Users can take pictures of an outfit they like and upload it to the Snap Fashion app, which will trawl through retailer's inventories to find the closest match.
The app's technology filters a photo's superfluous visual data such as the length of a dress or type of collar and uses colour, cut and texture to find the closest equivalent. It then searches the stock of over 100 major retailers including Net-a-porter, Topshop and ASOS and earns a commission from the retailer when someone buys an item through the app.
Whatsmore, the app can even recognise imagery in any environment such as a catwalk shot or even street style through technology called background segmentation.
The site first launched September 2012 and now has over 100,000 users. Begin your search for the perfect outfit here.

Restaurant Showcase! Northshore Sampler Louisiana
Food is life and life is good on the Northshore. The Northshore Sampler culinary trail is rich in family-run restaurants where soulful food reflects tradition, heritage and hearty appetites. You'll also find sophisticated, even innovative cuisine. Talented Northshore chefs showcase the best local and seasonal ingredients on menus inspired by Louisiana's bounty. From elegant food in elegant dining rooms, to down home flavors in local spots, exciting culinary experiences await you.
Must Experience Restaurant: Dine at La Provence in Lacombe, owned and operated by celebrity chef John Besh who is also famous from his work on the Food Network. This lovely restaurant features traditional French cuisine in a warm, sophisticated setting. Besh prides himself on bringing fresh, locally grown produce into his signature dishes, and several acres of kitchen garden contribute to the picturesque Provencal scene.
Locals Favorites: Try Louie and the Redhead Lady restaurant in Mandeville. They were recently featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." Chef Louie Finnan serves up southern classics like grits and grillades and fried green tomatoes, while his wife Ginger (the redhead lady), serves up southern charm.
Great Meal and Great Views: Try Rip's on the Lake in Mandeville, located on Lake Pontchartrain and the perfect spot for enjoying seafood on the deck at sunset. Or, check out Morton's, a casual dining experience on the banks of the Tchefuncte River in Madisonville for perfectly fried shrimp and fresh Gulf oysters. In Slidell, dine at Palmettos on the Bayou overlooking beautiful Bayou Bonfouca for Louisiana ambiance and a savory jazz brunch on Sundays.
Staple Drink: Wash down all that Louisiana seafood with Abita beer, brewed from local spring waters in Abita Springs in St. Tammany Parish. Abita Brewery has grown from the micro-est of breweries into one of the nations top craft beer producers. The brewery's popular tasting room introduces visitors to its seasonal and popular brands, including Turbo Dog, Purple Haze and Abita Amber as well as seasonal smaller-batch beers such as strawberry, made from berries grown nearby in Ponchatoula. Ask for an Abita pairing guide and learn how Purple Haze really brings out the flavors in a crawfish etoufée. The brewery's original home, Abita Brew Pub, still serves up the beer, as well as Louisiana comfort food to enjoy with it. If you'd rather a fine table wine, head on over to Pontchartrain Vineyards in Bush, Louisiana for a tasting.
So come hungry, there's a place at the table for you. Life's a feast on the Northshore and that was just a sample of what we have to offer on the menu. For more information, visit LouisianaNorthshore.com/ltpa.

Tess Vigeland:
This was the first week of the hurricane season -- forecasters at Colorado State University are predicting eight.
Now, we've talked ad nauseum on this program about the importance of insurance. It is literally your lifeline to a starting over after disaster. But it can also help out in smaller calamities.
Our friend Liz Pulliam Weston has written about some of these odd insurance options in her column for MSN Money, so Liz, take us through some of this coverage.
Liz Pulliam Weston: Okay, normally in insurance, you are not covered for things that you do deliberately. In other words, if you go out and break somebody's window, you're going to have to pay for that yourself. Here's the situation: I was talking to Bill Sirola, who's a spokesman for State Farm, and he related the story of his friend who walked into the kitchen and found a snake on the floor that was threatening his wife and his 3-year-old child, so he grabbed the first thing that came to hand -- which happened to be an axe -- and gave the creature five or six good whacks, which took a big chunk out of his kitchen floor, and Mr. Sirola said, yep, his insurance covered that.
Vigeland: Now, why is that?
Weston: Because you are trying to protect your loved ones and there's some leeway in there that even if you do take big chunks out of your floor in your process that you weren't doing it deliberately to hurt the floor.
Vigeland: You mentioned waterbed liability?
Weston: I love this one! Doesn't that just conjure up disco balls and whatever? If you have a waterbed and you have renters insurance or condo insurance, go check it out because you probably have waterbed liability, which means if you break that sucker and it leaks into your neighbor's apartment, you're actually covered for the damage that you do downstairs.
Vigeland: And is that something where you have to get specific coverage to the waterbed or is that just generally covered by your homeowners policy?
Weston: It's usually covered by renters and condos or it's often covered, I should say, since every policy is different; you have to go check. But if it's not in your particular policy and you happen to have a waterbed, you can go out and buy it.
Vigeland: And you said for apartments and condos. Is this not something that's available to homeowners?0
Weston: Well, generally not unless you're stacked on top of somebody else that you have to worry about the water leaking through.
Vigeland: Well, it could leak through to your nice wood floor!
Weston: Well, you're always covered for the damage you do to yourself in those situations, but the worry was that you could damage a neighbor and not have coverage for that because that's a liability issue. So unless you have a mondo waterbed that's going to flood the whole neighborhood, you don't probably need it if you're a single family homeowner.
Vigeland: You also mention that there are a couple of benefits that you might have through your health insurance and one of them is massage?
Weston: Well, it can come in different ways. If you have coverage for chiropractic care -- you know, the adjustments -- and then if your chiropractor says you need massage as well, that can be covered. Or if you have a workers' compensation injury where massage can help, that's a way it can be covered as well. So if you're a massage junkie like I am, it might be something to check into if that's an issue that you have.
Vigeland: Let's talk about the sometimes-troublemakers in the house: kids and pets. I was very surprised to learn that if your dog bites somebody, you may actually be covered for that damage to the other person.
Weston: Yeah. Insurers now are getting really picky about which dogs they will cover, but otherwise, if your little Chihuahua goes out and chomps on somebody, you probably do have liability coverage for whatever health care they might need, et cetera. But if the dog bites again, you probably don't have coverage after that. There's sort of a one-bite thing. If you do have coverage, you'd better make sure that dog is properly trained or kept away from people it could hurt.
Vigeland: And little Susie is playing a little bit of softball in the backyard and accidentally, the ball goes through the neighbor's window.
Weston: Clearly an accident.
Vigeland: She's not liable, I assume, at 6 years old.
Weston: Well, you could make her work it off, you know, or confiscate her allowance for a while, but no, your homeowners insurance typically covers that kind of thing.
Vigeland: For going through a neighbor's window?
Weston: Exactly. That's again a liability issue. Anytime you do something to someone else, there's a liability issue that you have to pay for the damage there. So as long as it was accidental, as long as she didn't go over with the baseball bat and break the window, then you're covered.
Vigeland: Okay, well, let's end this conversation with the end, which is your tombstone may be insurable or insured.
Weston: This is one I never would have thought of if it wasn't pointed out to me by an insurance professional, but yeah, if somebody goes and knocks over a loved one's tombstone or vandalizes it in any way, your homeowners insurance may cover the restoration. So again, you have to look at your policy. Now it won't cover a tombstone that's swept away in a flood or blown away by a hurricane or shaken apart by an earthquake, but if somebody deliberately does something to it, you probably have coverage.
Vigeland: I guess that's because it's your home for the afterlife?
Weston: Maybe so.
Vigeland: Alright. Liz Pulliam Weston is a columnist with MSN Money. Good stuff.
Weston: Thanks Tess.
Vigeland: Here's one way you can help yourself out when it comes to insurance: Do a home inventory -- everything you own from floor to ceiling.

Innovative facility to provide immediate urgent care as well as community wellness programs
Scott & White Healthcare will begin construction within the next 60 days on a new clinic in the Killeen – Harker Heights area, one offering a unique combination of services that will provide emergency care while also helping patients maintain healthy lifestyles.

I urge people to unbutton their wallet, pull out a check, reach into their purse, whatever it takes. You will find that when you give a dollar and something of yourself, a lot more than a dollar comes out the other end.By 2020, Melinda Gates hopes to have extended the use of forced sterilization through manipulation of foreign governments to further the scheme of preventing 80 million of "unwanted pregnancies" in places like Africa, India and Southeast Asia.
Every Woman, Every Child, and innovative public-private and civil society partnerships developed through the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition. The Summit also aligns with the broader framework established by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) almost 20 years ago.The ICPD officially contended that universal education, reduction of infant births, protection of maternal mortality as an excuse to sterilize millions of women, and purveying "family planning" as a cover for preventing the most densely populated areas from continuing to freely procreate were the most effective course of action to ensure the agenda of the global Elite.

Stand alone Humidifer system with Duct?
We'd like to improve the humidification of our house, the humidity is in the 20% range throughout this winter and just too dry. The sticking point is that we have a radiant boiler for heat (cast iron radiators) and an air conditioning system which is in the attic. I have been doing a TON of air sealing in this house (build in 1950) and going to do blown in cellulose in a month's time when I'm done with the attic. Realistically I don't want to use the a/c system for humidification because there is no water up there and it's cold (and turned off) in the winter. It would be feasible to run a small duct system in the basement (not yet finished) and into the 3 bedrooms and the living room from a central location with water and power. I could fit a 6" duct in the chase that I have to make, but not much larger. Is it feasible to run a humidifier with a fan that kicks on with a humidistat? Basically at the start of the line would be a blower or fan inside a square duct, humidifier above and then trunk off to the 4 locations. The run would be less than 30 feet to the 4 locations I'm thinking, and I could use metal (not flex duct), but there wouldn't be a furnace to dry out the duct. I could even just run a single line up into the large living room if the humidity would spread out.
The whole point is to get humidification in the entire house, instead of room by room humidifiers which we have to refill. We have pretty hard water so steam would be out of the question. I don't have a problem with maintenance of pads etc... as long as it's just 1 humidifier instead of 4.
Has anyone ever seen something like this before? Any other ideas? Thanks
Aprilaire 350 or 360 may be suitable for your home.
Great, those look like exactly what I am looking for, thanks! I'll see if I can't get the wife to find a spot with a drain for that. Wish we had thought about this before we put the walls up in the bathroom, would have made a good time to plumb it up.
Do you think running a humidifier in the basement would adequately humidify a main floor? It's roughly a 2000 square foot ranch with roughly the same sized basement. It's wood floors throughout, and the subfloor of the wood is just a second layer of board, so it's very porous. Otherwise would need to do some reworking to get a drain in.
You would have to have the basement humidity at 70% to get the main floor humidity up.
If you check, you'll probably find that your basement humidity is already a lot higher then your main floor is.
I couldnt install a humidifier on my unit, as its on the roof but I installed it in the laundry room and tied it into the duct system. I considered a seperate unit but wanted something that would be part of the system we already had.
You could also go with the Honeywell steam unit mounted in the house, then all you would need is a small hose that would run between that and the unit in the attic.
His unit in the attic, is an air conditioner. it would be blowing out cold air in the winter, if he did that. Plus the moisture would probably condense in the cold duct work.

Trailblazers Return to Top Conference Spot With Win
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — The Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Trailblazers used a 15-0 run to start the second half to defeat the Framingham State University Rams, 65-56, Sunday afternoon in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference game at Framingham's Athletic Center.
With the victory the Trailblazers improve to 12-11 on the year and 8-2 in the conference. The victory also secures MCLA a top-two finish in the league as they pulled into a first-place tie with Westfield State. Both squads have a pair of league games remaining.
The Rams fall to 8-16 overall and 1-10 in the conference.
John Jones recorded a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds as he connected on 7-of-12 from the line. Sophomore Ruben DelRosario was the only other Trailblazer to reach double figures as he scored 10. Senior Vernon Cross, freshman Paul Maurice and junior Ramon Viches scored nine points each for MCLA.
The Rams were led by senior guard Rico DePaolis, who tallied a game-best 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field including 3-of-6 from behind the arc. Tyrone Figueroa scored 16 points, while sophomore Patrick Cuff grabbed a team-high 11 boards.
The Trailblazers used a pair of runs, one in each half to secure the victory. With the Rams leading 10-9 just over four minutes into the game, MCLA rattled off a 12-2 run capped by a Viches jumper to take a 21-12 lead. The Rams chipped away at the lead and cut the gap to two at the half as freshman Justin Bryan was fouled on a 3-pointer attempt as time expired. Bryan sank all three free throws, cutting MCLA's lead to 30-28.
The Trailblazers opened the second half with their second run, a 15-0 spurt, to take the game's largest lead at 45-28. Figueroa ended the run with the Rams first field goal of the half, a three at 15:05 and followed that up with a layup in traffic.
The Rams cut the lead to seven on a Tim McCarthy bucket with 1:10 remaining in the game, but that was as close as they would get as Jones sank a pair of free throws in the final minute.
The Rams return to action on Tuesday night when they host Westfield State in a MASCAC game beginning at 8 p.m., while the Trailblazers travel to Fitchburg State on Tuesday evening in a MASCAC matchup at 7:30 p.m.

American Fresh Farms Could bring 400 Jobs to Area
Published March 9th, 2012
A company in charge of bringing a hydro-ponic tomato plant to Ocala is asking for an extension from the city council.
American Fresh Farms originally wanted to have greenhouses set up by last December, but were waiting for the final seal of approval from the feds.
It is known as the Tulip Project and claims it will bring an estimated 400 jobs to the area.
The 6 month long extension will be brought up for approval by the city council at the next meeting.

Ubuntu Linux includes a great Disk Usage Analyzer GUI tool that will let you figure out what files and folders are taking up all the space on your hard drive. This is one of those great little tools that should be bundled with every operating system.
When you are creating a new Windows Forms application, it isn't immediately obvious how to get a configuration file for your application. Your application configuration file is supposed to be called executablename.exe.config, and should be in the same directory as your application in order for the .NET framework to automatically use it.
Ubuntu Linux has an option for font smoothing that isn't turned on by default for some strange reason. This makes fonts significantly smoother, enough to be very noticable.
Most people realize by now that using instant messaging from work can be easily tracked and logged. If you have access to an SSH server anywhere (mine is at my house) then you can setup a quick SOCKS proxy to forward all of your traffic through your home SSH server, and your employer won't even know that you are chatting by monitoring the network.
Linux has a rich command line experience that can sometimes be a little daunting for people switching over from Windows. Displaying the list of recent commands is pretty simple, though:
Important Note: According to the Ubuntu Help:
Upgrading Ubuntu has gotten simpler over time. The graphical utility makes it a breeze to upgrade to the next version. This HowTo should work for any beta version in the future, but keep in mind that installing beta software should only be done by those that are sure they know what they are doing.
You've just thought of a great new layout for your blog… but making changes to your blog while visitors are accessing it is generally a bad idea, especially if you are running an ad-supported blog. This How-To shows you the list of steps you need to take to get a copy of your production WordPress blog copied down to your local Ubuntu machine. (Should work for any debian linux)
I am constantly infuriated by the amount of spam I get in my email account every day. To quote a friend of mine: "Honestly, this should be the number one issue in the world today. Forget declaring war on random countries, let's declare war on spam, and institute the death penalty while we are at it!"
Using the Remote Desktop client usually lands you in a seperate session on the windows server. There are times, however, when you might want to be able to connect to the console directly instead of being in a seperate session. This is how.
If there is one bloated and unnecessary service that you should immediately disable, it's definitely the Indexing Service built into Windows XP. The idea behind it is that you can search for files more quickly if it is enabled…. but you are using Google Desktop for that, right?
It's frustrating enough when your application crashes. Then the annoying dialog expects you to "Send an Error Report to Microsoft". As if I want Microsoft to know exactly which programs I'm running on my computer.
Social bookmarking/news links are extremely popular these days. There are a ton of different websites out there, from the Digg.com's to del.icio.us and furl. I personally only really use del.icio.us, but whatever your choice, you can be sure that you will have visitors that use at least one of the different services.
One of the gripes I've always had with the built-in WordPress functionality is that you can only specify the number of posts per page across the entire application, as opposed to being able to customize it per section or page. Thanks to a wonderful plugin by Matt Read, you can fix this easily.
Firefox, like many popular browsers, includes a built-in functionality to save your password. Often we'll use the saved password feature so often that we've completely forgotten our password when we need to login to the same website on another computer. Here's how to locate your saved password.
This is a pretty common task, but it's surprising how many PHP newbies don't know about it yet. If you want to see the structure of your PHP Array, all you need to do is this:
A hidden functionality in Windows allows you to right click on a file, select Copy To Folder or Move To Folder, and the move to box will pop up and let you choose a location to either copy or move the file or folder to.
Like anything else on linux, it's easiest to do things from the command line. Open up a terminal window and type in the following commands
You will often have the need to access data that resides on another server, whether you are writing an online RSS aggregator or doing screen scraping for a searching mechanism. PHP makes pulling this data into a string variable an extremely simple process.
Apache gives you a list of files in an empty directory by default, but sometimes you will want to show a list of files that are in a directory through PHP so that you can customize the output of the list, and make a "pretty" listing of files. Here's the basic code to make a list.

Dianna Agron
Dianna Agron has appeared on television shows such as Shark, Close to Home, CSI: NY, Numb3rs and a recurring role on Veronica Mars. She then appeared as Harper on a 13 episode series of short films called It's a Mall World, directed by Milo Ventimiglia, and airing on MTV, and then on the second season of Heroes, also with Ventimiglia.
Agron's most notable role to date is likely as Quinn Fabray, a high school cheerleader, on the FOX series Glee, which has received high ratings and critical acclaim since the series began in September 2009.
Gathering together to honor the year's best in cinema, the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards winners have officially been named.
With the event taking place at the Shrine Exposition Center on Sunday evening (January 29), honorees followed suit with prior awards shows as "The Help" was named top film.
She's always up for a good time, and earlier tonight (January 29) Dianna Agron was spotted at the 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Sporting a super stylish ensemble consisting of a magenta Carolina Herrera gown and Jimmy Choo shoes, the "Glee" girl flashed her perfect smile for the paparazzi eagerly waiting outside the Shrine Exposition Center while chatting it up with fellow attendee Emma Stone.
Ready to put the stars' fabulousness on full display, the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards are set to get underway in Los Angeles, California.
Held at the Shrine Auditorium, Peter Castro, Laurel Ripley and Kate Dimmock will be working the red carpet to catch all of the action as Tinseltown's big names make their grand arrivals.
Awards show season is off to a killer start, and the GLAAD Media Awards have just announced their nominees ahead of the three ceremonies scheduled later this year.
And of course, Lady Gaga is continuing her legacy with the GLAAD organization, as she'll compete for the Outstanding Music Artist trophy.
It was a truly magnificent scene at the Beverly Hilton Hotel last night (January 15) as Warner Bros. and InStyle held their fabulous Golden Globe Awards after party.
Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom, Charlize Theron, Viola Davis, and Victoria Justice all showed up at the exclusive event to partake in the top-shelf festivities.
Looking radiant in red for the Tinseltown festivities, Dianna Agron turned up for the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, California on Sunday evening (January 15).
Taking place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the "Glee" gal was in fine form while glammed up in a Giles frock with Casadei kicks while working the arrivals area before heading inside for the swanky Hollywood fete.
They're the largest talent agency in the world, and the William Morris Agency continued to foster their strong relationship with their star clients by hosting a Golden Globes Nominee Party in Los Angeles last night (January 14).

If you thought it was cold early Friday morning, just wait. It gets worse.
The National Weather Service is predicating that the beginning of this week will bring bitter, biting cold, the kind of cold that sucks the juice out of car batteries, freezes water pipes and delays the start of school.
Although we're experiencing something of a respite this weekend, the bottom is expected to fall out tonight when temperatures are to drop to 23 degrees. That mark becomes the temperature ceiling for Monday, which will feature a low of minus 11 degrees.
On Tuesday, expect a high of minus 2 and a low of minus 3. Wind chills will be much colder.
So, yep, it's going to be cold. In fact, if the prediction comes to pass, it will be some of the coldest air to descend on the area in years. The last time the area saw temperatures that low was in January 1994.
On the 19th of that year, the high was 3 below zero. Two days later, the weather service recorded a low of minus 22.
Given this coming cold snap, and the storms we've had already, it's fixing to be a long, drawn-out winter.
According to the weather service, the area already has seen 17.1 inches of snow this season. And that's not including what came down Thursday and into Friday morning.
On average, 49.4 inches of snow falls on the area each season, which runs from October to April. So considering that most of the snow typically comes in January and beyond, the area is on track for a total above-average snowfall in 2013-14.
And for local municipalities, that means they are having to dig into their salt supplies. Not that it's much of a problem, according to local officials.
For instance, Blairsville Borough manager Tim Evans said the borough already had adequate supplies on hand because of light usage over the past few seasons.
"We're doing fine," he said.
In Indiana Borough, crews have doubled the salt usage over the same time last year owing to all the small nuisance snows, according to Dave Fairman, Indiana Borough's public works director.
In White Township, crews have been steadily using salt supplies, too. The township, in fact, has already met the minimum purchase required under its salt contract. In the past few seasons, it has struggled to meet the minimum, because it hasn't needed it, said township manager Milt Lady.
If things continue as they have, he said, the township probably will be running up against the maximum amount allowed at the contract price, he said.
But that won't be a worry for this week — the forecast isn't calling for any significant snowfalls. Just cold.
With the temperatures predicted to be that low, the state Department of Health said hypothermia and frostbite are causes for concern. So, it says, take some common-sense measures to prevent them — dress warmly and be sure to cover your ears, head and mouth if you go outside.
Should the power go out for an extended period, don't be stubborn. Go stay with someone who has heat or find a shelter.
And, the department says, never run a generator or use a camp stove indoors as they produce carbon monoxide.
If you need help with utility bills, the Indiana County Community Action Program and the state Department of Public Welfare have programs that can provide emergency assistance to those who qualify.

HP Pavilion dv6-3010us
REVIEW DATE : June 23, 2010
PROS: Attractive new design. Long-running battery. Touchpad features matte finish and supports multi-touch gestures. Superb wireless connectivity with 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
(Editor's Note: HP has issued a driver fix for the touchpad issues, though all the problems haven't been resolved)
The color of the Pavilion dv6-3010us is a light gold hue that HP calls champagne. Like HP's long-running Imprint finish of past Pavilions, the dv6-3010us features a subtle geometric pattern. The laptop's lid and keyboard deck feature this semi-gloss champagne finish, and the glossy black screen bezel and matte black keyboard and touchpad offer a nice contrast.
The Pavilion dv6-3010us has a simple, understated look. You won't find any media shortcut keys above the keyboard, nor will you find a separate number pad to its right. Instead, you get a full-size keyboard centered below the display. It features isolated keys, which look nice and are comfortable to use. The keys feel sturdy and offer the right amount of travel, but I'm not thrilled with HP's decision to add a column of shortcut keys along the left side of the keyboard. The keys offer one-button access to Windows Live Mail, CyberLink PowerDVD 9, your default browser, a print window, and a calculator. It will take some getting used to before you're not hitting the print key instead of Shift, the calculator key instead of the Alt key, or caps lock instead of the "a" key.
The touchpad has been wholly redesigned and is very similar to that touchpad on the Apple MacBook Pro ($1,799 direct, ). The mouse buttons are not separate buttons but instead are a part of the touchpad; thin white lines are painted on the touchpad to demark the mouse button area. The entire touchpad depresses along its bottom edge. This unified design sounds good in theory but it's less useful in practice.
Its support of multitouch gestures such as two-finger scrolling, rotating, and zooming, are fine on their own but this functionality interferes with simple cursor movements and commands.
For example, my right thumb resting on the mouse left mouse button area often caused sudden, erratic cursor movements. Likewise, when attempting to click on a link or an icon, moving my thumb to the left mouse button area sometimes created a small swipe before I could actually press the button down, resulting in the cursor moving down a few pixels on the screen and off of the link or icon I wished to click. I was able to dial down touch the click sensitivity of touchpad, and I could also guard against accidental contact with feature called PalmCheck under the Mouse Properties window. Adjusting these two touchpad sensitivity sliders helped somewhat but throughout the course of this review, I felt like I was fighting against the touchpad.
I do like the unique method used to disable the touchpad, should you want to turn it off in favor of a mouse. A small LED resides in the upper-left corner of the touchpad. Double tap the corner, and the LED glows orange, alerting you that the touchpad is disabled. Double tap again, and the LED turns off and the touchpad is back in action. The laptop has two other LEDs that act as useful indicators, found on the F11 and F12 keys. The F11 is mapped as the mute key; when mute is enabled, the LED lights up orange. Similarly on the F12 key, when Wi-Fi is on, the LED glows white and when it's turned off, the LED glows orange.
The dv6-3010us weighs a trim 5.3 pounds, which places it slightly on the light side of the scale for a 15.6-inch laptop. It's the same weight as the Acer Aspire AS5741-6073 ($699.98 list, ) and a few ounces lighter than the 5.5-pound Toshiba Satellite L655D-S6051 ($599 list, ).
The laptop features two front-facing Altec Lansing stereo speakers. They aren't going to rattle the walls, but they do offer full sound, relative to other integrated laptop speakers such as those on the Acer AS5741-6073 or Toshiba L655D-S6051.
With three USB 2.0 ports, a combo eSATA/USB 2.0 port, both VGA and HDMI video ports, a multiformat media card reader, and headphone and mic jacks, the dv6-3010us supplies useful expansion connections. The only item missing that some users may want is an ExpressCard slot. Likewise, wireless connectivity is superb, with 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on board. Wired connectivity is first-rate as well, with Gigabit Ethernet.
The laptop's hard drive is merely average. Some models at or near this price offer a 500GB drive, such as the Acer AS5741-6073, but most offer a 320GB hard drive, as is the case here. You'll have to spend a bit more to step up to a Blu-ray drive. The $830 Samsung R580 features such a drive, but a dual-layer DVD burner is the optical drive of choice on the Pavilion dv6-3010us.
Customers who buy this system from Staples can avail themselves of several services the retailer offers. This includes setting the new system up, data transfer from your old PC to your new one, software installation, and tech support and protection plans that range in price from $14.99 to $169.99.
The picture gets a little rosier when we look at battery life. The dv6-3010us uses a standard 6-cell (55WHr) battery and lasted 4 hours 34 minutes on the MobileMark 2007 test. Most laptops with 6-cell batteries fail to top the 4-hour mark in this test.
While we applaud HP's updated design, the HP Pavilion dv6-3010us fails to impress from a price vs. performance perspective. The Editors' Choice Samsung R580 ($830 list, ) offers Blu-ray drive, Core i5 CPU, and a spacious 500GB hard drive. The Acer Aspire AS5741-6073 can be had for the same price as the dv6-3010us and offers significantly better performance, while the Toshiba Satellite L655D-S6051 costs $100 less for basically the same configuration. Plus, the Pavilion dv6-3010us's touchpad takes some getting used to.

Viral gastroenteritis
Viral gastroenteritis (viral infection of the stomach and the small intestine) is the most common cause of acute diarrhea worldwide.
Symptoms of viral gastroenteritis typically last only 48-72 hours and include:
Unlike bacterial enterocolitis (bacterial infection of the small intestine and colon), patients with viral gastroenteritis usually do not have blood or pus in their stools and have little if any fever.
Viral gastroenteritis can occur in a sporadic form (in a single individual) or in an epidemic form (among groups of individuals).
- Sporadic diarrhea probably is caused by several different viruses and is believed to be spread by person-to-person contact.
- The most common cause of epidemic diarrhea (for example, on cruise ships) is infection with a family of viruses known as caliciviruses of which the genus norovirus is the most common (for example, "Norwalk agent").
The caliciviruses are transmitted by food that is contaminated by sick food-handlers or by person-to-person contact.
Bacterial enterocolitis
Disease-causing bacteria usually invade the small intestines and colon and cause enterocolitis (inflammation of the small intestine and colon). Bacterial enterocolitis is characterized by signs of inflammation (blood or pus in the stool, fever, abdominal tenderness) and abdominal pain and diarrhea. Campylobacter jejuni is the most common bacterium that causes acute enterocolitis in the U.S. Other bacteria that cause enterocolitis include Shigella, Salmonella, and EPEC. These bacteria usually are acquired by drinking contaminated water or eating contaminated foods such as vegetables, poultry, and dairy products.
Enterocolitis caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile is unusual because it often is caused by antibiotic treatment. Clostridium difficile is also the most common nosocomial infection (infection acquired while in the hospital) to cause diarrhea. Unfortunately, infection also is increasing among individuals who have neither taken antibiotics nor have been in the hospital.
E. coli O157:H7 is a strain of E. coli that produces a toxin that causes hemorrhagic enterocolitis (enterocolitis with bleeding). There was a famous outbreak of hemorrhagic enterocolitis in the U.S. traced to contaminated ground beef in hamburgers (hence it is also called hamburger colitis). A small percentage of patients infected with E. coli O157:H7, particularly children, can develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a syndrome that can lead to kidney failure. Some evidence suggests that prolonged use of anti-diarrhea agents or use of antibiotics may increase the chance of developing HUS.

Sydney Symphony Orchestra
Sydney Opera House, September 5
September 5 would have been the Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury's 57th birthday.
So there was a nice poignancy as the Sydney Symphony and Sydney Philharmonia Choir pounded out the anthem Who Wants to Live Forever?, which formed the basis of the closing movement of Tolga Kashif's The Queen Symphony.
The symphony was commissioned by EMI Classics and was premiered at the Royal Festival Hall in London earlier this year, in the presence of the surviving band members and Jer Bulsara, Freddie Mercury's mother. It was an instant hit and has been selling like hotcakes ever since. But the interesting thing about this work is that it is by no means a Hooked on Classics rewrite.
Kashif has explored the vast opus of Queen's 30-year history and used it as source material for his own creation. That it ends up celebrating the band and the memory of Mercury seems almost coincidental.
The work opens in good symphonic style with a low rumbling in the strings, misterioso, which builds up to a powerful choral episode playing with the refrain from Radio Ga Ga.
It sounds weird, and it is a little weird to hear the Sydney Philharmonia singing a phrase so firmly embedded in a whole generation's subconscious, in such an alien context. But in some ways, the more remote and tangential Kashif's use of Queen songs is, the more the music intrigues.
His fairly literal transcription of Bohemian Rhapsody in the fifth movement transforms the crazy, epic masterpiece into a sadly jaunty march.
Bicycle, on the other hand, undergoes the full deconstruction, its rhythmic complexities becoming the basis for a frenzied orchestral fugue which left some audience members, obviously Queen fans, feeling a bit bemused.
They must have forgiven Kashif by the end. Subtitled Homage, the last movement revisited some of the band's greatest anthems, giving them the full symphonic treatment.
No doubt, Mercury would have loved to hear We are the Champions with choir and 100-piece orchestra.
He would have loved the pounding opening to We Will Rock You played by four orchestral percussionists.
I hope he would have appreciated Kashif's eloquent refashioning of Who Wants to Live Forever? into an elegaic duet, beautifully played by Kirsten Williams (violin) and Catherine Hewgill (cello).
Kashif is quite clearly a superb musician: he can, and does, turn his hand to conducting, composing, recording and producing, in commercial and classical fields. As a conductor he is impressive, leading the orchestra through an irresistibly spirited performance of Bernstein's Symphonic Dances.
As a composer, Kashif uses orchestral colour and deftly interwoven rhythms to great effect. If The Queen Symphony errs on the side of bombast at times, it is probably only natural, considering its source material.
By his own admission, Kashif doesn't see music in terms of genres pop, jazz, classical but in terms of quality, good or bad. The music in this concert would have to be classified as good, some of it very good, indeed.

the only game ive played up to now that i like best is flyff, cant really say anything about seal since i havent even loged in yet.
Back to OnRPG. Add me on Skype if you got it - RotaryBoost -
flyff vs seal: i prefer seal anytime. flyff offer nothing unique other than flying system.. not much to do in the game other than hunting... no life skills whatsoever... pet system is not great too since its cash shop.. get bored real fast with it. seal offer more unique system such as fishing, combo, couple system and the pet system is MUCH better than flyff.
seal vs DOMO: hard choice... but gotta give it to DOMO i guess.. since it is much newer game.. actually the game itself is pretty new.. tons of unique systems such as the relationship systems, tons of life skills, alchemist system is nicely done, one of the best job system in mmorpg games, unique classes, pet system is nicely done.. u can evolve it, mount it and it can help u in combats although more variations to the pets would be better. combo system is crappy though.. not really combo... graphic of course DOMO is better since its newer game... higher requirements too...
Nvm lol i just remember me talking to you before in a game or something but my name on onrpg before was RedFox

text: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Robin Hood and Cedar Rapids - best films on TV tonight Make it a movie night with these top films on TV today, Tuesday 13 May Comments Written By Radio Times staff 12:01 AM, 13 May 2014 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - 7:30pm, ITV The magic is still there but the mood remains resolutely dark in this engrossing fifth episode in the fantasy franchise. With no Quidditch matches or tournaments to divert him, the task facing Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is to convince the wizarding community of the re-emergence of Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). His cause isn't helped when Dumbledore's position as Head of Hogwarts comes under threat. Adapting JK Rowling's bumper-size book was always going to be a challenge, and it's therefore surprising that David Yates's film is the shortest to date. Less may not necessarily be more, however, as some characters are given short shrift and subplots are sketched over. That said, Yates instils proceedings with the requisite sense of wonder, Alan Rickman is deliciously dour as Snape and Rupert Grint's Ron injects some much needed light relief, while Imelda Staunton steals the show as prim but poisonous tutor Dolores Umbridge. In a spellbinding finale set in the Ministry of Magic, we finally see the forces of good and evil engaging in full-on combat, and it's well worth the wait. Jamie Healy Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - 9:00pm, 5* Buckles are truly swashed and derring-do effectively done in this 12th-century adventure, which simply sets out to entertain handsomely and does so with a great deal of dash, flash and panache. Kevin Costner is more "Indiana Hood" than the Locksley lad of yore and Alan Rickman is a joy to behold as the panto-styled Sheriff of Nottingham, while Morgan Freeman's cultured Moor - Robin's early saviour - is a commanding, though unlikely, medieval presence. But it's director Kevin Reynolds who deserves the most praise for disguising such overfamiliar events with imaginative staging and a constantly roving camera, and turning in such an enjoyable popcorn epic. And, yes, this is the film where Bryan Adams sings (Everything I Do) I Do It for You during the final credits. Alan Jones Cedar Rapids - 11:15pm, Film4 This superb comedy stars Ed Helms as a naive and homely insurance agent dispatched to a cut-throat sales convention in the Iowa city that gives the film its name. Away from his comfort zone for the first time, he falls in with a wild crowd that includes boorish John C Reilly and flighty good-time gal Anne Heche, and their escalating stunts and japes threaten to derail his company's goal of picking up a prestigious award for a fourth straight year. It may sound a flimsy premise, but director Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl, Youth in Revolt) delivers a laugh-out-loud ride that plays like a white-collar executive take on Animal House, and Phil Johnston's script is awash with quotable one-liners. The Hangover star Helms never strays too far from the nerdy but good-hearted salesman he plays in the US version of The Office, but Reilly as the fouled-mouthed veteran steals all his scenes with a master class in vulgarity.

CHANDLER, Ariz. – Led by a one-under par round of 71 by junior Kaitlen Parsons the NAU women's golf team made up nine strokes on Portland State to tie the Vikings atop the leaderboard with a two-day total of 592 heading into the final round at the Big Sky Golf Championship.
The Lumberjacks shot a five-over par 293 on Monday, their third-best Big Sky Championship round all-time, and led by as many as three strokes on the back nine before the Vikings came back to draw even with NAU at the end of the second round. The teams have a seven-stroke lead over Northern Colorado with Sacramento State nine strokes behind in fourth place.
"They played great and I was just really proud of the effort," NAU head coach Brad Bedortha said. "We didn't play bad yesterday but we played much better today and I'm really excited to continue watching them play. If we compete like that, I can't complain win or lose."
NAU's five golfers did not have a single hole in which they scored worse than a bogey on Monday. Parsons only had one bogey and had two birdies on the front nine as she recorded her 11th career round at even or below par. She moved to even par for the tournament and up to fourth place on the individual leaderboard after it took her group five hours to complete play after the course got backed up.
"I was on the putting green a lot yesterday and when I was out there I felt like it did help," Parsons said. "I'm swinging it well and hopefully I can go lower tomorrow. We had a good day today as a team and hopefully we can carry it over to tomorrow and pull a win."
Senior Stephanie Kim followed her 74 on Sunday with a one-over par 73 as she moved into a tie for ninth overall at +3 for the week. Sophomore Darian Spivey was again solid on Monday as she overcame three straight bogeys to end the front nine to finish at 74 for the day and also is tied for ninth, while freshman Savana Bezdicek rebounded from an 84 in the opening round to shoot 75 on Tuesday.
"My tempo was way better (today) and I drank a lot more water," said Bezdicek, competing in her first Big Sky Championship. "I didn't know it would be this intense for a team atmosphere because I've never had such an intense team competition for golf. We'll see how it goes tomorrow - it will be interesting."
Sophomore Susana Mejia rounded out the Lumberjack competitors with a 78, one stroke better than she shot on Sunday as she was even par over her last eight holes. NAU will be playing for its seventh all-time Big Sky Championship and its first since 2009 when it takes to the course, paired with Portland State and Sacramento State, for Tuesday's final round starting at 8:45 a.m.
"We've been close a few times but just haven't been able to close the deal so I'm just hoping we can do that tomorrow," Bedortha said. "I just want us to go play our best golf and if it's good enough, it's good enough."

Towson, Md. - Sophomore Cooper MacDonnell scored a career-high four goals, while senior Shane Koppens added two goals and three assists as Loyola defeated Towson, 13-8, at Johnny Unitas Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The win is Loyola's first of the season and 23rd in 50 all-time meetings with the Tigers.
"Our guys played awfully hard today," said Head Coach Charley Toomey. "They put in a lot of work this week and really deserved this win."
The Greyhounds got off to a running start with a pair of point-blank saves from freshman goalie Jake Hagelin and a pair of goals from MacDonnell. The first goal came off a deflection at 11:19, the second off a move from behind the cage to put Loyola up by two at 9:06.
Senior Shane Koppens extended that margin to 3-0 with a bullet into the upper right-hand corner of the goal. After Towson scored its first of the season, the Greyhounds came right back with Koppens making the extra pass in transition to freshman Matt Langan. That 4-1 lead, however, would dissipate before the end of the quarter with two more goals from Towson to close the first 15 minutes of play.
"The first five minutes we got great shots and canned them," said Koppens. "Overall, however, Tim McDermott controlled the face-off X, our defense made stops, out midfield rode hard and Jake [Hagelin] played great in goal - this was a total team effort."
When the Tigers took their first lead of the game (5-4) at 4:30 of the second quarter, Loyola responded to the deficit with three goals in less than 30 seconds.
"We knew this was going to be a game of runs," added Coach Toomey. "Towson is a good team, they are coached very well, and we knew they would make a run."
The `Hounds' run started with Collin Finnerty, who tied the game at 5-5. Senior Paul Richards gave Loyola the lead back only 18 seconds later - and after senior Tim McDermott's third straight win in the face-off X - senior Joe Landry scored to cap the 29-second spurt.
Loyola would also score the final goal before the half with an extra-man conversion. Freshman Chris Bassler scored the goal with 15 ticks on the first-half clock to give the Greyhounds an 8-5 advantage at intermission.
The `Hounds started the second half in similar fashion to the first as MacDonnell stole an outlet pass and rumbled his way to a goal. MacDonnell followed that up with a man-down goal at 9:58 of the third quarter, giving Loyola a 6-0 run and a 10-5 lead.
"Collin [Finnerty] and Shane [Koppens] did a good job on slides," said MacDonnell. "They set me up for essentially lay-up goals."
Towson closed the gap to three on two occasions in the fourth quarter, but the `Hounds' suffocating defense would not let the Tigers get any closer. Hagelin, making his second career start in goal, made 10 saves for the Greyhounds.
Loyola ended the game with 52 groundballs, won 15-of-24 face-offs, and held Towson scoreless on six man-up opportunities. The Greyhounds improve to 1-1 on the season and snap a three-game losing streak against the Tigers. Loyola opens ECAC play next Saturday when it hosts Penn State at 2 p.m.

May 1, 2002 By Jim McKay, Justice and Public Safety Editor
The scenario may have turned out differently if the center she called had wireless enhanced 911 location technology.
Nearly half of all Americans use wireless telephones, and in many jurisdictions, 50 percent or more of 911 calls are made from wireless phones. In those cases, 911 operators are entirely dependant on information from the caller to determine their exact location.
In 1999, the FCC mandated that Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) implement Automatic Location Identification (ALI) technology, which transmits the location of a cellular phone caller as the call is received at the PSAP.
So far, just three jurisdictions, Rhode Island, Lake County, Ind., and St. Clair, Ill., have begun implementing ALI.
Phase Two
The FCC mandate was to be met in two phases. The first phase required that PSAPs be able to identify wireless callers by phone number and location of the cell tower that transmitted the call. That gives the PSAP a general location, the south side of town, for example.
The second phase includes the implementation of ALI, which will transmit location data from the caller to the PSAP with either a handset-based GPS system or a network-based system. This technology can pinpoint the location of a caller within a few feet in some instances.
But implementation could take some time. The deadline for carriers to begin offering ALI to PSAPs was October 1, 2001. The FCC waived the deadline, however, at the behest of several wireless carriers who were behind in producing the new equipment.
Rhode Island was the first state to begin offering ALI to its citizens with Sprint PCS wireless phones. The phones contain a GPS chip and are capable of locating callers within three to five feet in about six seconds, according to Raymond LaBelle, executive director of Rhode Island's emergency telephone system.
Rhode Island will eventually include GIS mapping in its implementation, which will provide 911 dispatchers a picture of where the caller is located.
Which Technology is Better?
Which technology is superior, the handset-based or the network-based, has been a point of debate.
"At one point we heard that network would be more accurate and the handset would be too expensive, then it flip flopped," said Chris Ternet of Lake County, Ind., where they've begun to implement a network-based system with Verizon Wireless.
The FCC standards are stricter for the handset-based technology. They require that handset-based systems track 67 percent of callers to within 50 meters and 95 percent of callers to within 150 meters. The network-based technology must track 67 percent of callers to within 100 meters and 95 percent of callers to within 300 meters.
The location system determines the location coordinates of 911 callers by cell towers then forwards that information to a mobile positioning center (MPC). The advantage of the network-based system is that customers don't have to replace their old handsets. Still, the FCC wants older handsets replaced by more modern phones that contain the GPS chip. Some familiar with the technology advise jurisdictions implement both systems.
In Rhode Island, LaBelle expects the rest of the carriers will hurry to catch up to Sprint and offer the technology within the next few months. Sprint and Rhode Island were both at the fore of making implementation of this concept a reality; Sprint because it dedicated time and money to the project, and Rhode Island because it upgraded its facilities a couple of years ago and then took a hands-on approach to implementing the new technology.

Oil sloshing around the Gulf of Mexico is just one disaster unfolding in the world's oceans. Trash heaps, acidification, and declining fish stocks all point to an ecosystem out of balance. A new national oceans policy aims for the first time to craft a unified approach to managing oceans off America's shores. What will that achieve? Join two key players in the BP oil saga to hear what the Obama administration is doing to clean up the Gulf of Mexico and better manage our oceans going forward.
