firefox on everything for now
but if google chrome handles flash web streams better when the new NFL season starts I'll switch to it since all firefox major add-ons have a port for chrome.
It's good to see that everyone here is using a modern browser. It seems like Firefox and Chrome are the most common browsers.
It's ironic that Microsoft, a multi billion dollar company can't even build a decent browser especially with the launch of Bing and marketing, a decent browser you'd think is an important part of that market.
Someone also posted a useful website "Spoon.net" to test on older browsers, thanks a lot, very helpful for testing.
It's important to have an idea of what browser the average user has:
IE: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp
EDIT : It would be interesting to see what kind of websites the IE6 users are visiting (other than child pornography and stuff like that, that i suspect IE6 users like).
Chrome (Web browsing) and Firefox (Web dev).
Firefox! =D
webkit for dev and safari 5 for everything else(even tho there pretty much the same)
Firefox – because it's good for the eyes
Chrome – fast loaded
Chrome when browsing, but everything else when coding/testing.
I use Chrome. Love it.

The electronics giant is attempting to shed its financial problems of recent years and expand sales in growing industries such as power for EVs, in-vehicle cameras and infotainment.
CLA to offer Panasonic-owned audio-streaming service.
NEWARK, NJ – Panasonic invests $150 million to expand lithium-ion battery production capacity in three Japanese plants in a bid to become a bigger player in the burgeoning electric-vehicle market.
The electronics giant recently passed the 100 million Li-ion-cell delivery mark to Tesla. Panasonic also supplies Li-ion cells to Ford for the Fusion EV and has a joint venture with Toyota to supply nickel-metal-hydride batteries for the Prius and other hybrid vehicles.
Panasonic is attempting to shed its financial problems of recent years and expand sales in growing industries such as power for EVs and in-vehicle cameras and infotainment, including rear-seat entertainment systems and head units. The company also aims to be a significant player in vehicle-to-vehicle communications as that market develops.
At last January's Consumer Electronics Show, Panasonic announced a joint venture with General Motors for developing new information systems specifically designed for cars.
One of Panasonic's Li-ion-cell plants is the Green Energy Park operation in Kasai, Japan. The facility in Western Japan is a showcase for solar-power generation; its solar panels produce enough electricity to power 300 households.
Panasonic is rebuilding an idle production line at its Suminoe plant, where it expects to resume Li-ion battery production in January. The company is adding a new line and rebuilding an idle line in preparation for the reopening of its Kaizuka factory, which it closed in March.
Most of the production is earmarked for Tesla, whose Tesla Model S EV contains 7,500 individual Li-ion cells.
The JV also makes Li-ion batteries for a Toyota global demonstration fleet of 500 plug-in hybrids.
Joe Taylor, president-Panasonic North America, says 20% of his company's worldwide revenues come from the auto industry. About 30% of North American revenue comes from sales to automotive OEMs.
Panasonic's global sales in its last fiscal year totaled ¥730 billion ($7.3 billion). Surprisingly, the company, which is known for its consumer-electronics business, derives 80% of its revenue from business-to-business commerce, Taylor says.
The supplier recently acquired Aupeo!, an audio-streaming service that it describes as "Pandora on steroids." The iPhone-based system will allow drivers to integrate the Siri voice-recognition app into their vehicle voice commands.
Aupeo! has licenses to stream content from 40 countries and is available on cell phones, electronic tablets and other devices. By contrast, Pandora only streams content from U.S. radio stations.
"Aupeo! is a global platform," a Panasonic spokesman says.
The streaming service will be incorporated into the Mercedes-Benz B-Class EV scheduled to debut next summer. It also will be included in the Mercedes-Benz Drive Kit Plus, an optional accessory on the Mercedes CLA that debuts this fall.
Additionally, Panasonic collaborates with Fender to supply premium audio systems to some Volkswagen models. The Fender system is available on current Beetle, Jetta and Passat models. "We are expanding that to include the Tiguan for the 2014 model year," says Scott Vazin, a VW spokesman.
Panasonic believes it can double its automotive business, which includes navigation systems, sensors and audio equipment with the development of connected car technology in the future.

Your template does not provide a unique enough design with the necessary design quality, features and options to compete in the marketplace at this time. As higher quality templates become available in the marketplace, approval requirements will increase to maintain appropriate marketplace quality. You might consider improving your design with more unique features and graphics in order for it to stand out among other marketplace items. Adding features, options and styles will help increase your template's value and increase its ability to be approved. However, a unique design will be a key factor for approval.
Can you help me improve my design to fit in the marketplace ??? This is my site HTML : HERE
Thanks !
Because at this time, your design is outdated…please compare it with the current library and inspire yourself Why ? Some problems:
- Buttons (learn more) are very very bad ! Change them
- You have lot of spacing problems…
- Social icons area in the top is very old too…Icons are too large and the arrow is not very beautiful
- I found 2 areas where tweets are displayed…repetition is bad
Just my opinion, hope it will help you
I dont think it is unable to be salvaged, but I would change the header social dropdown, by removing it. I also think that moving the body text up past the circle slider images would be a good consideration. I also have been reviewing the themes that are in the market and those that are rejected and have notices a theme, the images you choose may be better served by not being sex appealing humans (male or female) rather then modern style, architecture and colors.
I have a reject I am dealing with also so I feel your pain as well.
also maybe doing something to change the layout of the "blog items" since html and blog = cumbersome
There are too many type faces on homepage.
Very very thanks !!!! I think to fix pretty much, it was hard … but I will try!
Hey buddy! there are some similarities with my html theme Inter-communicate specially the footer, about, blog, single blog sidebar, and etc.
The twitter feed I have my name there.
Please watch the demo here:
lol looks like a copy – paste theme

New York City Launches International Design Competition For A Safer, More Appealing Sidewalk Shed of the Future
Sidewalk sheds are typically wooden structures (nowadays usually painted blue) built over public space to protect pedestrians during construction activity. Walking around Manhattan while trying to avoid walking under a sidewalk shed can be a true challenge. There are currently more than 6,000 sidewalk sheds installed and in use today at New York Citys buildings and construction sites, spanning more than 1,000,000 linear feet. A lawyer for insurance companies once told me that because he has defended so many cases in which a pedestrian or construction worker was injured due to a collapse or other calamity involving a sidewalk shed, he would never, ever walk under one. Besides, theyre hideous-looking. On August 13, 2009, the Department of Buildings and the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects launched the urbanSHED International Design Competition - a competition to tap the global design community to develop the sidewalk shed of the future.

The Bard on a Budget
If you wanted to make this your summer of culture, to take advantage of all the art and theater and music that this city has to offer, you've had ample opportunity thus far. And if you've wanted to do it on the cheap, well, this season was practically made for you. You could get through almost every cultural institution in this city without paying a dime if you played your cards right. The one holdout, though? Theater. Though tickets are hardly pricey, you've got your eye on your budget ... and your prayers have been answered. The Junior Players' summer production of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing runs at 8:15 nightly through Sunday at the Samuell-Grand Amphitheater, 1500 Tenison Parkway. The concept of the show has been tweaked so that the beloved romantic comedy is set in Italy in the early 1960s, but the playful dialogue and heartwarming love story between Benedick and Beatrice and Claudio and Hero remains the same. Bring a lawn chair, a picnic and maybe make a tiny bit of room in that budget for a donation to your hosts, the Junior Players. Visit juniorplayers.org.

Despite GOP attacks, Hotline's Todd claimed that Republicans invoked national security "in a positive" way in '02 and '04
Research ››› ››› JOE BROWN
On Hardball, Chuck Todd, editor in chief of the National Journal's weblog The Hotline, asserted that Republicans had invoked the issue of national security "in a positive [way]" in the 2002 and 2004 elections. In fact, Republicans launched numerous attacks on Democrats such as former Sen. Max Cleland in 2002 and Sen. John Kerry in 2004.
During the 5 p.m. ET hour of the August 9 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Chuck Todd, editor in chief of the National Journal's weblog The Hotline, dubiously claimed that Republicans had invoked the issue of national security "in a positive [way]" in the 2002 and 2004 elections, but that in 2006, "they're beating the voters over the head [with national security] as a negative." In fact, Republicans launched numerous attacks on Democrats such as former Sen. Max Cleland (D-GA) in 2002 and Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) in 2004, invoking national security to question their patriotism or fitness to govern. Todd's comments followed a similar assertion by Newsweek chief political correspondent Howard Fineman that "in the first couple go-rounds," President Bush had invoked national security "in the positive way," but that in "the fall [2006] campaign," Republicans will exploit "the negative side of the same strategy." Fineman stated that Republicans would "nationalize" the 2006 campaign by arguing that they are "strong" on national security and that Democrats are "weak."
During a later segment, host Chris Matthews asked Todd if Republican efforts to draw a connection between 2006 Democratic candidates and 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern, as well as efforts to label Democrats as "left[ies]" and "anti-war dove[s]," would "work again." Todd responded that Fineman had "brought up a powerful point ... when he said in '02 and '04," Republicans used the national security issue "in a positive [way]." He added: "This time, they're beating the voters over the head [with national security] as a negative."
In fact, both the 2002 and 2004 campaigns saw numerous attacks by Republicans on Democratic candidates that invoked national security. For instance, on September 8, 2004, The Washington Post's Dana Milbank and Spencer S. Hsu reported that Vice President Dick Cheney "warned ... that if John F. Kerry is elected, 'the danger is that we'll get hit again' by terrorists." Similarly, on October 19, 2004, The New York Times' David E. Sanger and Jodi Wilgoren reported on the Bush campaign's "incendiary characterization" of Kerry "as a man who would undercut American defenses, surrender its military decisions to other nations and treat terrorism as a disease in need of treatment rather than an enemy force in need of evisceration." Sanger and Wilson wrote that this "scathing attack on Mr. Kerry's national security record appeared to signal the Bush campaign's strategy for the 15 days remaining [until the election]: to capitalize on the president's greatest strength -- the perception that he is strong against terrorism -- and the continuing doubts about whether Mr. Kerry is tough enough."
Sanger and Wilgoren reported Bush's "explicit charge that the security of the United States would be in peril if ... Kerry were elected," and his assertion "that Mr. Kerry had 'a strategy of retreat' for Iraq and would act against terrorists 'only after America is hit.' " They also reported Bush's claim that Kerry's national security policy ''comes down to this: Before we act to defend ourselves, he thinks we need permission from foreign capitals.'' Additionally, they wrote that "Bush accused Mr. Kerry of taking 'the easy path of protest and defeatism,'" of "giving up the fight," and of having "a policy of weakness" and "a strategy of retreat."
In the remaining days of the 2004 campaign, the Times reported that Kerry was "[u]nder blistering attack on national security" [October 20], that Bush "invoked the possibility of more terrorist attacks in his assault on Mr. Kerry's positions" [October 23], and that Cheney "raised the possibility of a nuclear attack ... and questioned whether Mr. Kerry was up to dealing with such a horrific incident" [October 24].
Republicans also invoked the issue of national security in 2002 to attack Cleland, a Vietnam veteran who lost three limbs in the war, during his unsuccessful 2002 race to retain his Georgia Senate seat against challenger Saxby Chambliss. As Media Matters for America has noted, Chambliss's campaign attacked Cleland with an ad challenging Cleland's commitment to national security.
A July 3, 2003, Washington Post article described the ad:
It opened with pictures of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. "As America faces terrorists and extremist dictators," said a narrator, "Max Cleland runs television ads claiming he has the courage to lead. He says he supports President Bush at every opportunity, but that's not the truth. Since July, Max Cleland voted against President Bush's vital homeland security efforts 11 times!"
The Chambliss ad was immediately condemned, as the Post reported, by Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona (who said of the ad, "[I]t's worse than disgraceful, it's reprehensible") and Chuck Hagel of Nebraska (who threatened to run an ad denouncing Republican officials if they didn't pull it off the air).
As The New Republic's "Notebook" also reported on December 2, 2002, "attacks on Cleland's patriotism formed the subtext of virtually the entire Chambliss campaign, as noted by innumerable press accounts leading up to and following the election."
From the 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET hours of the August 9 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: We're back with Howard Fineman and Chuck Todd. Let's take a look at something the vice president did a month ago. This may be the shot that we're going to hear throughout the fall in this campaign.
CHENEY [video clip]: If we follow Congressman [John P.] Murtha's [D-PA] advice and withdraw from Iraq the same way we withdrew from Beirut in 1983 and Somalia in 1993, we will simply validate the Al Qaeda strategy and invite more terrorist attacks in the future.
MATTHEWS: Well, those are the talking points we heard [White House press secretary] Tony Snow -- I don't want to be too sarcastic, here, but I do read into politics -- the game is being played here.
Howard, the game is if you oppose this war as do almost 60 percent of the American people now, you are somehow a McGovernite, you're weakening us abroad and you are bringing on another 9-11. That's how hard they're making this.
FINEMAN: Yeah, and that's going to be the theme for the fall campaign. They're going to nationalize the campaign, the Republicans are, on this theme. It's a replay in new form of the "us versus them" thing. As you say, the McGovern thing from the Vietnam era. They're going to do it all over again. In one way or another, George Bush in the first couple go-rounds, did this in the positive way. He did it, "I'm the president, I'm strong, I've got the right idea, I'm on the phone." That's the positive side of it. This is the negative side of the same strategy. It's not just that "I'm strong," but, "They're weak."
MATTHEWS: I think the Republicans may be fighting the old war, but they won the old war, so you can assume why they do it again. Every time they say "McGovern," every time they say "lefty," "anti-war dove," it works for them. Will it work again?
TODD: Three straight -- I mean, Howard brought up a powerful point, I thought earlier, when he said in '02 and '04, they did it in a positive. This time, they're beating the voters over the head as a negative this time.
MATTHEWS: Just remember, they were promising a popular war. The happy Iraqi scenario. I give you credit for that phrase. All those things they promised went the other way.

André Courrèges Bonwit Teller
Coat and Dress
André Courrèges, designer
French, b. 1923
Bonwit Teller, retailer
American, 20th century
Coat and Dress, ca. 1966
Cotton piqué with plastic buttons
99.1 cm (39 inches)
Gift of Ms. Laraine Runci 82.118
After eleven years with Cristóbal Balenciaga, André Courrèges opened his own couture house in 1961 and achieved great success in the wake of the London-centered pop/youth explosion of the 1960s. While many established French couturiers floundered, Courrèges responded to the times by presenting a dramatic, space-age aesthetic that became instantly recognizable and widely copied. By the mid-1960s, his iconic look displayed clean lines that skimmed the body with the help of stiff fabrics, such as the cotton piqué used in this coat and dress. Elegant tailoring techniques, including welted seams, as seen here on the coat, give his work an almost architectural quality.

A hybrid tummy tuck is not a mini tuck.
A mini tuck tightens only up to the umbilicus.
The hybrid tummy tuck is a short incision tummy tuck which tightens all the way to the xiphoid.
It is not easy to perform, and often requires an endoscope, especially if the umbilicus is left intact.
The hybrid tummy tuck is not for patients who have a lot of excess skin above the umbilicus, not for patients who have a lot of excess skin below the umbilicus, but rather for women who have had fit pregnancies and did not have a large weight gain during their pregnancy.
We rarely perform mini tummy tucks because the bulge from pregnancy extends above the umbilicus in most women, and should therefore be tightened, especially if it can be performed through a mini tummy tuck incision.
While this office maintains the trademark of the name hybrid tummy tuck, other surgeons are free to perform a similar procedure. Because we have experience with many hybrid tummy tucks, I am happy to talk with board certified surgeons who are contemplating performing a similar procedure on their patients.

The Szabo's new ride....Avant Aurora
This is a 100% Avant purebred complete kit.
The model uses the tried-and-true and very succesful CCPM system and the Avant Programmable Head and combines them with the rest of a design that takes the state of the art in high performance helicopters to a new level.
A very slim design and low front profile give the Aurora a very low drag coefficient that allows it to keep the momentum in the most demanding maneuvers.
An incredibly low parts count makes this an extremely easy to repair and maintain heli.
A very streamlined figure makes it easy for axis alignment and orientation axis into the most precise maneuvers.
An innovative slanted battery plate with easily replaceable straps makes it easy to exchange power packs finally allowing for a practical way to use lighter packs and save on flying weight
At the same time the battery plate slides and adjusts upwards and downwards allowing for CG adjustments without the need to add additional weights.
The Aurora uses the most rugged torque tube system. The generously sized gears are designed to take about 9 times the actual forces while in flight so that the pilot can use and abuse the system without the usual concerns of the typical torque tube systems.
A 4.9 tail to main ratio makes it a very nice system with all the tail authority you'll ever need.
The Aurora Ultimate uses a carbon tailboom for extra stiffness and lightweight.
The Aurora tailcase gear system is a work of art on itself. Designed to be lightweight and rugged it holds a very innovative gear system.
To service the gears the pilot simply loosens the tailhub setscrew and takes the three gearcase cap screws off and the whole systems comes out to the right for a very easy servicing access. Also notice that instead of using a fixed length brass sleeve the Aurora tailcase uses an ingenious adjustable bearing sleeve that allows you to keep the tail output shaft without any lateral play whatsoever and prevents the brass sleeves from eating into the gear's delrin.
Besides being extremely light the tailcase is also very stylish. Notice how the tail output shaft is a 6mm diameter and the tailhub is a 5mm diameter shaft for rugged resistance for those not-so-perfect autos. The tailhub threads are made inside to minimize the creation of fatigue cracks. It also makes taking the tailblade grip off a single operation with a wrench from the outside of the tailgrips. Two widely spaced radial bearings and one trust bearing make it a very precise tailgrip system.
One of the nicest features of the Aurora is the main gear system. It uses machined delrin gears with a special high load tooth profile that minimizes the noise and rattling. The generously sized main gear is larger than most of the standard gears lowering the point of contact forces applied to the gear's teeth.
One of the most advanced features is the use of a centered sprague. In the Aurora instead of a problem-plagued one-way bearing system the Aurora sports a combination of sprague clutch and a radial bearing in one unit. In this system the sprague runs on a hardened inner race preventing the common "grooving" of other systems. This is also kept in precise alignment by a built-in radial bearing.
All the parts are precisely machined by completely automated systems guaranteeing part to part consistency.
With this innovative design a very compact and light main gear hub and constant drive system is achieved
The pinion and clutch are precisely machined to the highest engineering standards
Precise simplicity and low parts count is always a welcomed feature
Many nice features are incorporated in the design. Ample room for today's large engine heads is taken into account as well as clearance so that the head can be extracted or swapped without having to take the engine off the heli.
Another nice feature is the addition of wear pads a the bottom of the struts extending the life of the struts when landing on hard or abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt
The Aurora tank is designed to optimize the location of the fuel pickup minimizing the distance from the pickup point to any point inside the tank. A generous 22 ounce capacity allows for longer flights and more time for practicing.
Ultra-compact and lightweight design is a key directive in the design of the Aurora
A slim profile lightweight epoxy-glass canopy comes with a flexible base that minimizes cracks from flexing and vibration
We also take this opportunity to announce that both Alan Szabo Jr. and Danny Szabo have joined the Avant Team with Alan Szabo Sr. as the new team manager.
Dave Yost Designs (http://www.dydhelmets.com/) is the official high-performance canopy painting supplier for the Aurora program.
Here's one of Alan Szabo's Aurora canopies by Dave Yost Designs
Here's one of Danny Szabo's Aurora canopies
Here's a detail of the windshield
We will post some additional pictures and flight videos at the end of next week.
Due to the economies of high volume automated production we expect the introductory price to be under $1,000.00
Some units are being sent in the next few weeks to team pilots as well as selected customers and full availability will follow afterwards with a simultaneous release in the US and the UK.
The Aurora initial batch will be available initially only in the US and in the UK with the next batches going worldwide. The exclusive distributor for the UK is Midland Helicopters.

Re: The Szabo's new ride....Avant Aurora
I think I found my next heli! I like the KISS idea and the low parts count. What will the spare parts support be like here in the US?
Re: The Szabo's new ride....Avant Aurora
Awesome! I love the computer generated stuff. That is actually what I do, I "draw" and design stuff three dimensional on the computer. I think it is so much fun. Anyways, what program did you use?
Re: The Szabo's new ride....Avant Aurora
Congats to the Szabo's on their new heli the Avant Aurora. I,m sure they will do it justice the way they fly. Going to be a hot item. Sr. glad to see you are going back to work. See you all at Ircha. Biff this year will be there flying a heli also. Welcome to the dark side Biff.

Re: The Szabo's new ride....Avant Aurora
All I can say is the the 90 class is going to go crazy over the next few months. The Synergy N9 will be shipping soon and that is one hot heli also, very compact and intelligently simple. If the Aurora does in fact hit the streets at the $1000 price point I can't see the big three (Minair, TT, and JR) being top of the heap.

Re: The Szabo's new ride....Avant Aurora
Ok guys, I have the Avant EFX, and I will be testing the new Aurora soon. The heli looks much nicer imo, now that they got the fuel tanks from sticking waay out in the back as on the previous models. There *will* be a conversion set for guys like me that have the EFX or FX, but when, or how much $, is still up in the air. I'll let you all know how it flies when I get to fly it.

The tiny listed bank boosted its client base from 5,000 to 6,000 in the year to March as wealthy customers defected from some of the big American and Continental banks. Chief executive Michael Quicke said some had been 'whipsawed' by technology markets and were looking for a bank with a more 'old-fashioned attitude to looking after money'.
Private banks within larger investment banks have been plagued by worries about potential conflicts of interest, especially in the wake of the Merrill Lynch affair. Analysts there were revealed to have recommended that their clients buy shares they privately regarded as rubbish. Merrill agreed to pay a $100m (£67m) fine to settle the affair.
The bank reported a resilient set of figures, given the market turmoil, with pre-tax profits down 8% to £2.9m. The final dividend is held at 18p, making an unchanged 24p total.
Costs of installing a new computer system and a profitability review weighed on profits. The bank again made no provision for bad debts, confident in the quality of its £140m loan book. It also revealed that it had axed the final-salary pension scheme for new recruits, replacing it with a cheaper money-purchase arrangement.
The outlook remained 'very promising' despite the least benign economic environment for many years, it said. The shares, which have defied the sliding market trend over the past six months, fell 2 1/2p to 857 1/2p. 'We've had quite a lot of our clients wanting to become shareholders,' Quicke said.

LONDON — Two men accused of hacking an off-duty British soldier to death on a South London street last month appeared in separate courts for hearings today as politicians planned to meet with security and police chiefs to discuss ways of confronting what the government has termed the "poisonous narrative" of militant radicalization.
The men, Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, both of Nigerian descent, face murder charges in the May 22 death of the soldier, Lee Rigby, 25, a military drummer and machine-gunner who had served with British forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere. After the soldier's killing, both suspects were shot and wounded by police.
Adebowale was formally charged with murder last week, and Adebolajo appeared in a magistrate's court today to be formally arraigned. He was also charged with other offenses, including the attempted murder of two police officers and possession of a revolver, identified as a 9.4 mm KNIL model 91.
Weapons experts said the revolver is a large-bore, antique handgun first manufactured in the Netherlands in the late 19th century.
According to reporters in the Westminster Magistrates Court, Adebolajo was wearing a white T-shirt and blew a kiss to an unidentified man in the public gallery. Both men then pointed to the sky.
His left arm was bandaged and held a copy of the Quran. As is customary in a British court, he was asked to stand to face the charges and replied: "May I ask why? May I ask why?"
"I want to sit," he said, according to The Press Association news agency. Adebolajo finally rose to his feet, but at the end of the brief hearing he asked the magistrate, Emma Arbuthnot: "I would like to alleviate the pain if I may?"
He kissed the Quran and raised his arm into the air. Adebolajo was ordered to appear at a higher court within 48 hours.
For his part, Adebowale appeared at the Old Bailey criminal court and was told he would return for a preliminary hearing June 28 when the cases against both men would be heard together. He did not seek bail, news reports said.

Richard Glaesser 3 Tier Snowman Electric Pyramid
This delightful handmade Richard Glaesser Three-Tier Snowman Electric Pyramid will add a touch of festive cheer to your home each year at Christmastime. This petite pyramid features nativity scenes on each tier with a boy and his dog admiring the snowman he's built in front of the pyramid. Each figure is hand-carved and hand-enameled.This pyramid turns by an electric motor and lovely electric candles create a unique festive atmosphere. This wonderful pyramid is sure to become a treasured heirloom in your family.
Dimensions: 7.25D x 5.25W x 10.25H inches.
The Christmas pyramid is a unique article that originated in the Erzgebirge region of Germany around 300 years ago. It was very simple – often sticks tied together at the top and decorated with bright materials. To maintain an upright position the sticks had to be tied in such way that the base was broader than the top; hence the pyramid shape and the reason for their name.Over time flat round platforms were developed and a center shaft was put through the platforms; thus the platforms rotate. Ultimately wings or blades were attached at the top and candles were fitted to various parts of the pyramid. When the candles are lit on today's Christmas pyramids their heat moves the wing blades and propels the whole structure.The Richard Glaesser Company is located in Seiffen in the heart of the Erzgebirge in the former East Germany. This picturesque area is known for its handmade wooden toys pyramids and other collectibles. Richard Glaesser founded the company in 1932. Although he passed away in 1987 the tone and standards for quality that he set continue today.Founded in 1949 the Taron Company has been in business for more than 50 years. The company's focus has always remained the same: to bring unique high-quality collectible giftware handicrafts and toys to the U.S. marketplace.

• Desperately sad that Neil Hamilton, the former MP, ill-fated litigant, newspaper columnist and end-of-the-pier panto turn didn't make the cut in Ukip's list of MEP candidates. We did say in March that after a run of defections and such as the jailing of former MEP Tom Wise for expenses fraud, Nigel Farage would be a bit more rigorous about the selection process. The result was the so called "fruitcake" test. So many hopes were dashed. And it is a shame in its way, because we still have copies of the famous Guardian front page that carried a picture of Hamilton post his legal entanglement with us over cash-for-questions, and its banner headline, "A liar and a cheat". With a party motif slotted in, it would have made a nice election poster. Oh well, not to be.
• An apparent victory as we strive to shore up the terrible relationship between the Tories and the unions by extracting from the party of the name of its new trades union envoy. The previous holder of this very short straw, Richard Balfe, announced on his website biog that he had done his time. "From 2007 to October 2012 he served as Conservative party envoy to the trades union movement," it said. It's a dirty job, was our view, but surely someone wants to do it, and we asked Tory high command who that might be. Answer came there none. Then, last week, with publication of the list newly created peers we saw Balfe at the very top, described as "former MEP and Conservative party envoy to the trade unions and co-operative movement". On our reading, that could mean the new titleholder is the old titleholder. If so, welcome back Brother Balfe. He could have a job for life.
• Interesting times for the Catholic aid agency Cafod press team as it thrives under the command of Gordon Brown's former spinmeister Damian McBride. He's about to publish a book about his previous life in Downing Street; Power Trip: A Decade of Plots, Policy and Spin. But one wonders if he is keeping a closer eye on the productivity of his team. Pascale Palmer, the senior press officer, wrote recently on Facebook of her 8am to 4pm shift. "Yesterday it got to 4.30pm and I looked at the clock, whooped with delight, turned off the PC, said bye to everyone and left work. As I unlocked my bike, I saw people eating lunchtime sandwiches. I looked again at the time. 'Twas 14.30, not 4.30. I had to go back, switch on the puter (sic) and explain to everyone what I had done. Oh dear oh dear ..." Downing Street Damian would never have stood for that sort of thing.
• Many Parisiens celebrate the return from self-imposed exile of one-time heart throb, now full‑time eccentric Gerard Depardieu, who, having bemoaned the latest French tax rises, now extols the home comforts of Russia and Chechnya and his friendship with President Putin. Depardieu is back making a film about the origins of the football World Cup. But there's a potential issue because the Parisien newspaper has pictures of him riding helmetless to the set on a scooter. He has enemies, and – unless he has some kind of dispensation – there could be trouble ahead.
• It's a high pressure gig meanwhile as secretary of the "D" (defence) notice committee. Nudging British newspapers away from Edward Snowden's national security agency revelations and that sort of thing. But what comes after? For Air Vice-Marshal Andrew Vallance CB OBE MPhil(Cantab) FRAeS, the retiring "D" notice supremo, the quieter life. He'll edit the magazine of the parish of Sunninghill and South Ascot in Berkshire. That was probably need-to-know, but now it's out there.
• Finally, in this week's Spectator, Joan Collins puts to rest the allegation that she and her former husband invited others to strip naked and watch porn, having first prepared them all a fish dinner. Just not true, writes Joan. "I'm no Nigella in the kitchen and allergic to seafood, so I wouldn't know how to cook a fish if it stood up on its fins and issued instructions." No nudity, no porn, definitely no fish dinner, she says. Details matter here.

Medical Spotlight 4/19/10 "Matching Stem Cell Donors"
Published April 19th, 2010
Loading Video...
Stem cell transplants can save the lives of people with blood cancer. Its much more difficult, however, to find the proper match between donor and recipient if the patient is an ethnic minority. Research here in North Central Florida is expanding the number of donors who can give their marrow to a recipient.
In the Medical Spotlight, Chris Cogle, M.D., an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Florida tells TV 20's David Snyder how researchers are finding a way to use donors who are a "half match" with recipients.

I have shot one and they are good reliable pistols that are very thin and light for an all metal gun. The rubber grips are nice but they are too grippy for my taste for carry purposes IMHO with a cover garment.
You cant go wrong with a 3rd generation S&W pistol... I have several and they are the most reliable guns I own outside of revolvers.

Dress: Ann Taylor Coat: Burberry Harbourne sz 2 (similar in petites from BR)
Low heels: Aldo (similar) Belt: F21 Ring: YSL Coral Arty Clutch: Chanel WOC
My love for outerwear dates back to when I first moved to Boston. At times, the cold and precipitation here made me downright depressed, but a pretty coat would bring a little joy on gloomy days. The first time I ever set foot inside a Burberry store, I tried on a "Harbourne" trench. The amazing Newbury St SA, John, gushed about how slim it was cut, how it could be styled so many ways, and how much care went into making it, the stitching, and the meticulous waterproofing process...yada yada. I drank it all up. Even though I was decked out in abercrombie kids and clearly had no capacity to buy, he was very kind to me and wrote down the style name on a lil' card (which I still have after 4 years).
Last year, my mind went back to the idea of finding the perfect, classic, double-breasted trench. I think a trench is a wardrobe staple for women of all ages. Even though I knew that a great coat was hanging at the Burberry store, I wanted to try on a sale option from their more affordable line (Brit) and a kids one, to see if satisfaction could be achieved while saving some money. Enter, my past reviews:
- Part I - Burberry "Brit" Petites Trench
- Part II - Burberry Kids Mini Ivybridge Trench
But alas, I wasn't impressed by either option at those prices. Since classic trenches are always available at retail price and didn't seem to be increasing in price (a la Chanel), I was in no hurry to buy.
Imagine my delight when I discovered that the "Harbourne" trench was part of Bloomies' private sale this month. To sweeten the deal, I had the good fortune of winning a shopping spree earlier this year. Nick and I agreed to spend the spree cautiously like we do with our own money. Despite having had the gift card for months, his only purchase is a $7 pair of shorts, and mine - this coat.
Fit: Burberry only offers petite sizing in the US via Nordstrom. However, the petite selection is very small and doesn't necessarily fit better. Their regular US sz 2 (smallest size) is actually cut pretty slim, so I recommend going to the Burberry retail store for the best selection and shopping experience. Possible alterations needed on this coat are shortening of the sleeves, and slimming of the torso and sleeves. If you buy at the retail store at full price, all alterations are free.
Although the sleeves don't bother me too much right now, one alteration that I do need immediately on this coat is moving the belt loops up 2~3 inches. The Harbourne is designed to be a shorter coat on a regular-height woman, so the belt loops sit low on my hips and make my bottom half look shorter (see upper left photo). This can be a common issue when petite women wear regular-length coats. Moving the belt loops up a little with fix the proportion issue.
Measurements: 16.5" across at the underarms, 15.5" across at the waist, 20" across the bottom. 33" total length, 24" sleeve length, 5" sleeve width, 13.5" shoulder width.
Material: 65% poly, 35% cotton. Lined in large check. If I had to nitpick, I wish it didn't have black buttons (but I suppose buttons can be replaced).
Dear Anonymous, you are certainly not alone and not doomed in the fashion world. This is a topic that I feel strongly about. Although I admittedly enjoy designer pieces, I feel they should never define one's style. I crazy admire women who mix and match and look fabulous using creativity, versus those who plaster themselves with labels and have no personal style.
If you have financial constraints, I recommend making a list of wardrobe foundation pieces that suit your personal lifestyle (ie. for me that was a tailored sheath dress, a blazer, dark blue jeans, a warm coat, etc). Shop deliberately for these items, keeping an eye out for quality and fit. After you find winners, search online for sales & coupon codes or scour eBay to get the best deal. Accessories from places like Target, F21, and thrift stores (my personal fave) are a great way to style your outfits without breaking the bank.

UPDATE 2-Barrick Gold's Argentina mine resumes operations after spill
(Adds confirmation from authorities in Argentina, background)
Oct 4 (Reuters) - Barrick Gold Corp said on Tuesday normal operations had resumed at its Veladero mine in Argentina following approval from local authorities after processing solution containing cyanide spilled last month.
Operations were suspended at the mine on Sept. 15 after falling ice damaged a pipe, spilling some crushed ore saturated with process solution containing cyanide. This is the second cyanide spill in just over a year at Veladero.
A spokesman for the province of San Juan confirmed local judge Hugo Quiroga had lifted the suspension.
"The mining company completed the measures required ... so the resumption of mining was ordered," said Osvaldo Lima, undersecretary of public information of San Juan.
Measures ordered by the province included increasing the height of the perimeter berms, or raised banks, surrounding the leach pad where the gold is leached from the ore.
Barrick, the world's biggest gold producer by output, said it would continue to assess the impact of the temporary suspension on Veladero's production for this year.
However, the Toronto-based miner continues to expect total production for the company to be in the range of 5 million to 5.5 million ounces at all-in sustaining costs in a range of $750 to $790 an ounce.
Veladero, an open pit mine, is one of Barrick's five core operations. The company is targeting production of 580,000 to 640,000 ounces of gold a year from the mine. Continued...

I totally agree with my fellow peers. As a alumni from Leeward CC-Spring 2010 and a returning student from Leeward CC-Fall 2012, I feel and experience that this campus and the faculty are outstanding. I see myself coming back and forth to get education from Leeward CC; that's how I really like this campus! Thank you Leeward CC!
Loved LCC. Graduated in 1984. Learned more there than at UH Manoa. When my students call it Last Chance College I correct them immediately. Beth Thompson was the best HIST 151 & 152 teacher.
LCC has been an integral part of my life here in Hawaii having been a student since Summer of 2010 and will be graduating this fall of 2012. I learned a lot from this institution and the faculty are competent and outstanding. LCC helped me greatly in my quest for knowledge and is instrumental in the fulfillment of my career goals.

Boris Johnson today warned of a crisis in availability of affordable London homes unless building dramatically speeds up.
The Mayor said he is working "flat out" to keep up with demand, as he announced a £138 million fund to kick-start delivery of another 6,000 homes to rent or buy.
These are on top of the 55,000 already pledged this mayoral term. The capital is predicted to need a million more homes by 2031. Mr Johnson said: "We've got to accelerate the pace of building. This is a massive undertaking, we need at least 40,000 homes a year for the next 20 years to meet population demand.
"But I don't want to sound as though that's enough, because it's not enough. We really need to step it up." He warned Londoners could be condemned to long commutes, or forced to leave the capital altogether. "Without house building we're missing the opportunity to put fuel into the most powerful motor the British economy has."
The £138 million, which will deliver up to 12,500 jobs, has been allocated to 57 housing providers who will all begin work this mayoral term.
Mr Johnson called on the Government to look again at granting the capital a stable funding stream for housing — such as retaining its share of stamp duty — in order to negotiate longer-term agreements with developers.
In Bexley, at a First Steps development offering working Londoners more affordable properties to buy or rent, he said: "Our funding stream is full of stops and starts, making it challenging to plan ahead and get on with delivering the thousands of homes we need every year after that."Reuse content
