text: I didn't mean to imply that no one is ever arrested on the spot in FL, only that an investigation is required before an arrest. Depending on circumstances and evidense on the scene, that may be from 5 minutes to never. I personally feel that the LEOs were correct in not arresting Zimmerman on the spot as so many demanded. When the facts of his SD claim became questionable (in some minds) the arrest was made. Whether his claim holds up is up to the legal system.

Paintings by Aboriginal artists from the Western Desert and Central Australian Desert are gradually changing the way Australians perceive themselves, their environment and not least, the original inhabitants of the continent of Australia, the Australian aboriginals.
The desert paintings movement which had its genesis at Papunya in 1971 has given to the Aboriginal people a persuasive and effective means of communicating to the western world the beliefs of their 40,000 years old culture.
Aboriginal Art – Always Re-Inventing Itself…
Aboriginal Art is constantly re-inventing itself and has a stronger presence, diversity and dynamism than ever before. The current art of Indigenous Australia is a powerful and mesmerising art form that continues to unfold. This diverse living art form – the last to impress itself on the international stage – has evolved from the world's longest continuous art tradition.
It is by no means a static tradition. Over the past 50 years, a plethora of individual artists have been empowered to experiment and forge great modern art forms that are anchored in their origins, yet live in the mainstream and point to the future. The continuum between ancient and modern brings a frisson of spirit resonance into the most daring of contemporary works in any medium.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Fullerton was an epicenter of early punk in Orange County, breeding Social Distortion, the Mechanics, Adolescents, D.I. and others, and one blond, bespectacled man has carried the punk torch in the city for nearly 20 years. Bill Evans started Black Hole Records with his wife, Anna, after quitting Naughty Women, which included among its members iconic punkers Izzy Stradlin, Rikk Agnew and a teenage Mike Ness as a roadie. It's firsthand experiences with such musicians that makes a trip to Black Hole a crash course in punk (and even rock). Some record stores won't give you more than a "hello" when you walk in, but bring a Smiths album to the counter, and Evans will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about Morrissey. There's no empty space on the walls, long-filled floor to ceiling with vinyl relics of punk days long since past. Even the name of the store pays tribute to a Fullerton punk landmark—Ness' crash pad was aptly named "The Black Hole."
Hope you held onto those Donnie Wahlberg posters: Another decade from the past has become all cool and retro, and this time, it's the 1990s (la vida loca?). Eighties nostalgia is so 10 years ago. It seems like everyone has jumped in on the craze. MTV brought back Beavis and Butt-head and—get this—music videos. The Backstreet Boys and New Kids On the Block got back together to perform for swarms of once-tweens (Justin who?). Newt Gingrich has considered a presidential run. Teen witches replaced teen vampires. Christina Applegate is still hot. It's easy, we suppose, to long for the days when the now-legal, pouty Olsen twins chirped adorable one-liners ("You got it, dude!"), and the only terrorists we worried about were dinosaurs destroying theme parks. Yes, we love the '90s! Now, if only we can bring back the Clinton-era economy and Metropolis in Irvine. . . .
Sometimes, you just have to go with the obvious. If you're gonna go to the mall, you might as well go to the mall, the holy grail of Orange County consumerism, the reason why the words "Costa Mesa" sit beside Beverly Hills, Paris and Milan in designer ads in glossy magazines. It's a place where a concierge will check your bags when your arms get too tired, where personal shoppers are at your service (for a fee, of course), where your electric Jaguar can juice up at the charging station while you shop. Even if you're more, well, recession-chic like us, it's always fun to play Pretty Woman, dressing up (yeah, you've gotta dress up) and prancing around the fancy cluster of shops: Prada, Burberry, Armani, Gucci, La Perla, Hermès, Versace and Chloé. The 2.8 million-square-foot complex houses all the usual mall stores, too, including H&M, Banana Republic and Nine West, as well as the major department stores and a list of eateries from acclaimed gourmet to fast food. Shopping has never looked this good.
Located in a former auto garage, the Captain's Helm exudes hipster chic, yet it skews more thrift store than vintage store. There's a nice selection of graphic tees and polo shirts, some with interesting graphics such as Reagan's face twisted in all sorts of grotesque contortions accompanied by nasty, lovable captions; these run anywhere from $8 to $12. And don't miss the selection of Captain's Helm T-shirts featuring obligatory line drawings of a crusty rowboat guy. Included in the mix are shoes, boots and jeans, as well as—bizarrely—surfboards. And like any forward-thinking secondhand store, there's also a sizable collection of used vinyl. All of which gives the savvy shopper plenty of reasons to check this spot out.
This place offers nearly all the creature comforts the eco-conscious soul could desire, except for organic produce. Like a subspace passage to Portland, Seed People's Market touts "products with a purpose" and carries countless handmade and recycled items arranged artfully about the shop on whimsical art-installation-like displays. The result resembles a miniature Patchwork Festival operating seven days a week. You'd be hard-pressed to find another establishment in Orange County from which you can walk away with Patagonia outerwear, a package of hand-printed stationery and a pair of decorative bear-eared headbands. Nestled in the heart of the Camp in Costa Mesa, not only does the store offer an array of guilt-free gift-worthy items, but it also has a café and a second-floor crafting studio, with regularly scheduled classes. So if you're feeling particularly productive, you could roll over to Seed, get your birthday shopping done, learn how to repurpose old copper wire into a new birdhouse, grab some coffee and wrap up by chilling out on the patio while shooting the shit next to a campfire.
In the SoCo Corner off Interstate 405 is the home-decorating behemoth known simply as tpt home, pleasing shoppers and infuriating the grammar police. The year-old shop is the size of a giant warehouse—one entire wing is dedicated to fake flowers and faux topiary (look no further to satisfy those artificial-Christmas-tree needs). Calling itself "Orange County's destination for inspired home décor," tpt definitely has an OC aesthetic and is perfect for those Newport Beach residents who had to fire their interior decorator when the market crashed. Any knickknack can be found—need some colored glass balls to finish off the table setting? Maybe an assortment of tin bud vases? A sequined bird statue? Yep, all can be found here.

But Lily's life took a turn for the better while in quarantine, where she met fellow 4400 Richard Tyler and felt an immediate connection. Unbeknownst to Lily, she and Richard had conceived a child in the future but it wasn't until her return that Lily learned of her pregnancy.
From the beginning, Lily noticed a strange connection to her unborn daughter Isabelle. She knew what her daughter was thinking and Isabelle, from the womb, could control her actions in certain situations. After Isabelle's birth, and while on the run from Jordan Collier and NTAC, Lily continued to feel an extreme connection with her daughter. Yet regardless of this strong maternal instinct, Lilly finds herself frightened at times by Isabelle and her powers.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
This is your old fashioned trap game. With a big MNF win over Cincinnati last week and a titanic showdown looming next Sunday at Dallas, the Patriots (4-0) still have some business to take care of this week against the surprising Browns (2-2).
With a tough early season schedule – Pittsburgh, Cinci, Oakland and Baltimore – most figured the undermanned Browns with no proven quarterback would be lucky to escape those weeks with a single win. After a shootout win over Cinci in Week 2 where defense was optional, the Browns dominated the Ravens last week with a 27-13 win.
The Browns have been led by QB Derek Anderson (964 yards, 9 TDs), who beat out Charlie Frye and now figures to be keeping the seat warm for rookie Brady Quinn.
The Patriots come in with an incredible run of form. Last week they became the first team since 1950 to win their first four games by at least 20 points. Tom Brady and Randy Moss have been the most potent and dangerous combination in the NFL this year so far and Sammy Morris (117 yards last week) has been a great compliment to starter Laurence Maroney.
One of the major plot lines will be the return of safety Rodney Harrison, who missed the first four games due to suspension. He has been activated to the roster yet it's unclear how much he'll play today. James Sanders has been a very capable fill-in but Harrison's intensity and leadership can not be matched.
3 Keys to the Game:
Prediction: The Browns are a good early season story but the Patriots are just too powerful. Playing in front of the Gillette crowd coming off four dominating wins, everything is falling into the Pats favor. Any sort of win will do for the Patriots, though with the Dallas game next week it would be troubling if the Pats could only squeak by the Browns. The Patriots may not be 41 point favorites, but a Cleveland win would nearly match Stanford's shock win against USC last night.
Patriots 32, Browns 17

The Cobra S4 may share some resemblance to the 'Quattro A4', but that's where the comparison ends, unlike its predecessor, the Cobra sports a fully adjustable suspension system, by way of a centrally mounted 'Mono Shock' (front and rear). Thus changing the handling characteristics dramatically, giving the 'Cobra S4' a substantial edge over the competition when confronted to the same racing conditions. When you consider everything that the 'Cobra S4' comes with, it really is an outstanding value for $399.00.
The 'Cobra S4' suspension system is a true fully adjustable suspension system, both front and rear Mono shock assemblies. It features a complete range of settings which allow the rider to virtually adjust the suspension to any type of riding or racing condition. Next is the engine; 50CC's, capable of exceeding 10,000 plus RPM and 5+ horsepower, connected to a 'Light Alloy' TIG welded frame, with lightweight forged alloy rims. Finished with a race tuned exhaust and performance enhancements to the intake and a combined weight of less than 90lb; making the 'Cobra S4' a force to be reckoned with at the track or anywhere else.
Anyone from little kids to fully grown adults up to 325 lbs. can fit on these mini quads, but to see the Cobra S4's similar family members check out the GP MX3 Pocketbike, GP MTX Pocketbike, and GP RS-R Mini Bike.

Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - The Philippines' stock index continued its record-breaking climb as it went past the 5,900 level yesterday, buoyed by the upbeat sentiment of global markets that welcomed budget developments in the United States.
Also, the peso strengthened to its highest level in nearly five years as improved outlook on the global economy and favourable sentiment on the Philippines raised investors' appetite for assets in emerging markets.
The local currency closed at 40.77 against the US dollar, up by 9 centavos from the previous day's finish of 40.86:$1.
The last time the peso closed stronger than that of Thursday was on March 5, 2008, when it settled at 40.76 against the greenback.
The peso also hit an intraday high of 40.76:$1 yesterday, while the lowest recorded was 40.825.
Volume of trade amounted to $983.7 million-up from the previous day's $931.8 million.
At the Philippine Stock Exchange, the main-share index surged by 73.06 points, or 1.25 per cent, to close at a new high of 5,934.05. A new intraday peak of 5,960.74 was also reached.
Investors snapped up shares of PLDT, AC, BDO, SMIC and Megaworld.
Although PLDT rose at a faster pace, SM Investments kept its bragging rights as the most valuable stock in the bourse, with a market capitalisation of 560 billion pesos ($13.7 billion). PLDT ended yesterday with a market cap of 553.10 billion pesos.
There were 121 advancers against 47 decliners while 43 stocks were unchanged.
"Events in Washington have played out pretty much exactly as we expected, with Congress compromising on a deal at the very last minute. The deal focused on the revenue side and did not address spending or, most importantly, the debt ceiling. This means there is much to do in the New Year," said BofA Merrill Lynch in a commentary.
"The [fiscal] cliff is behind us, but now 'three gorges'-the sequester, the debt ceiling, and the continuing resolution for the 2013 budget-all lie ahead," it said.
The US budget deal, messy and protracted as it was, may have provided an immediate boost for financial markets, but it may spell over the long term for some Asian assets that are coming off a stellar 2012.
Investors may start to shift some money out of overpriced or crowded Asian investments in favour of the United States on the view that the fiscal deal has allowed the US to avoid a recession while it boosts the prospects for American stocks.
"In the short term, US risk premium will come down now that a deal has been struck and might trigger some reversal of flows from Asia back to the US," said Hong Hao of Bank of Communication International Securities.
Analysts do not expect a major reversal of funds, but more of a subtle shift as some money managers rebalance their portfolios by taking profits on Asian positions and moving those funds into prospective bets in the United States.
The S&P 500 fell 1 per cent from September through December last year in the buildup to the presidential election and the so-called fiscal cliff. At the same time, Asian markets rallied. Japan's Nikkei rose 17.2 per cent and the MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan index went up by 5.6 per cent.
Southeast Asian markets such as Thailand and the Philippines were top performers last year, but a flood of funds has pushed valuations to levels that look less appealing now on a relative basis.
"There are a lot of great companies in Asean. But as a market, the region is looking pretty fairly valued," said Bill Maldonado, who oversees about $80 billion as chief investment officer in Asia-Pacific for HSBC Global Asset Management.

Should Christians Sue Atheists Too?
Robert Driskell
8/16/2011 / Christian Apologetics
Atheists are quick to level lawsuits against Christians or other religious peoples. Instead of civilized dialogue, the non-believers use knee jerk litigation to try to force their views on others. Just some of the recent issues have been
--suing to remove the Ten Commandments from public display.
--suing to remove Christmas displays from public display.
--suing to stop the National Day of Prayer.
--suing to keep Intelligent Design from being taught in schools along side of evolution.
--suing to attempt to get a cross, erected by a private church, taken down because it could be seen from a state highway.
--suing every time a politician mentions God, Jesus, the Bible, or prayer.
--suing over the inclusion of a cross in the 911 Ground Zero Museum.
--suing to get "In God We Trust" off our nation's currency.
--suing to remove the words "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.
--suing to have the definition of marriage changed.
The list goes on. It is as though the atheist believes his or her ideas to be the only ones that count. They act as if the response to anything with which they disagree is to file a lawsuit against it as quickly and as publicly as possible.
Let us turn the concept around. What if Christians were to sue every time something in society displeased them? What if believers sued
--to stop pornography from being produced
--other religions when they publicly displayed any of their religious icons?
--every time Hollywood put out a movie that glorified sinful behavior?
--every time someone publicly took the God's or Jesus' name in vain?
--every time the ACLU represented someone wishing to express their perversions?
This article is semi-tongue in cheek. While it addresses a real concern, it is not advocating the Christians really start suing over everything that annoys themas atheists seem prone to do. A Christian should sue only as a last resort. We should always seek to act with love and understanding first.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. (Romans 12:18 NASB)
Only if we are left with no other course of action should we turn to the force of the law. We are always to "speak the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15).
In times past, people could dialogue, discuss, and even debate others with whom they disagreed. Today, litigation (suing someone) is the first thing that is considered when one thinks he or she has been offended. Why is it we can no longer converse with one another? Have lawyers got us convinced that the only way to handle a problem is to hire them?
Wouldn't it be nice if we could actually sit down and have a conversation with someone with whom we do not see eye to eye? Shouldn't we take the time to understand their point of view and have them understand ours?
Or have we lost that ability completely?
Seeking to introduce people to Jesus Christ and to help them become "transformed by the renewing of their mind."

Just after we completed our 5-inch random-orbit-sander tool test for the Winter issue, Makita announced the release of an updated model. Normally we wouldn't First Test a tool from a recent test category so soon, but when we saw the tool we just had to get our hands on it. And we had the perfect candidate to help us test it: the shop that had worked on the original tool test just a short time before.
The BO5041 sander is a 5-inch random-orbit sander with a fixed rear handle like the one you'd find on a half-sheet sander, and a positionable front handle like the one you'd find – well, only on this tool. There are a few random-orbit sanders out there that have both rear and front handles – mostly larger 6-inch units – but Makita's movable front handle seems unique to this tool.
The grip positions on standard hourglass-shaped random-orbit sanders are limited to the top grip and the body grip. Most of the time, users hold the tool at the top, but the body grip is helpful for applying even pressure down low – especially when irregularities in the wood surface cause the sander to track wildly off its intended course. Holding the tool by the handles on both sides makes it easier to guide through these squirrelly areas until they are flattened. Holding the tool with both hands also allows you to apply downward force without enduring as much arm and wrist strain.
With the BO5041 sander, versatile grip options abound. The shape of the tool provides a comfortable top grip. And by unscrewing the rotating front handle and removing the clamp that grips around the sander, you can get a decent body grip too. Just about the only grip that doesn't work well is holding the rear handle only. Without pressure centered over the sanding disk, the tool tips easily.
The sander has a speed range of 4,000 to 12,000 rpm, which is controlled by a dial at the junction of the tool's top and rear handles. We worried that changing hand grips during sanding might inadvertently move the speed dial, but this didn't happen. The tool's two-finger trigger is comfortable enough, but using the lock-on button is the key to preventing finger fatigue.
Even though this new sander has the same speed range, 3-amp motor spec, and average-sized 1/8-inch orbit as the Makita model in the category test, it feels more powerful. It has a low hum and proved very difficult to slow down, even if you really lean on it.
Taking a page from the Winter-issue sander test, we used some of the same performance criteria when evaluating the BO5041. We sanded a hard maple board for three-minute intervals with a fresh 100-grit disk to determine both stock removal and dust-collection efficiency. By weighing the board and dust container before and after each trial, we were able to measure the amount of wood removed as sawdust as well as the percentage of that sawdust captured by the tool's on-board dust container. Because it was the same board we used in the prior test, we ended up with values that were directly comparable to those measured from the other sanders. With an average of 10.6 grams of stock removed, the BO5041 outpowered all the tools in the previous test. Its 78.3 percent rating nearly equaled the second-best sander in collection efficiency. This is especially good news in light of the fact that it's nearly impossible to connect the tool to any common vac hose for dust collection. User-felt vibration was very good, as was the quality and coverage of the sanding scratch pattern.
The Verdict
The Makita tool in our Winter full-category tool test took a respectable fourth place, and we liked this one even better. The extra stability provided by the front and rear handles enhanced our feeling of control, and the variety of grip positions was a welcome comfort feature during marathon sanding sessions. Add to that the tool's very efficient dust collection and class-leading stock-removal power, and you have yourself a mighty and versatile sander.
Professional woodworker Karsten Balsley of Boulder, Colo., contributed to this test.

Mobile computing and the apps that run on our smartphones and tablets are changing our lives every day. This goes without saying. What excites me is the pace at which this continues and the fact that we're just starting to scratch the surface of what's to come. For application development and delivery professionals, the challenge is how to remain relevant and compelling in this ever-changing landscape. An area that will immediately provide game-changing value-add is what I term Contextual Personal Data (CPD).
To level-set, we are all familiar with personal data. This is the information that drives advertising and marketing today, such as email/calendar/contacts, browsing and online purchase history, and everything that you divulge to social networks and allow them to harvest. CPD is the next evolution of this, enabled by mobile computing. Smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices can now generate a new meta layer of information about an individual that is far more valuable because it is contextually relevant and dynamic. This is data such as "what time do I generally leave the house for work?" and "when I have coffee on the way to work, how much more productive am I that morning?" The next generation of compelling and successful mobile apps driven by CPD will interact with my life without requiring me to interact with them directly. This is the new landscape of contextual mobile computing.

In the not-too-distant past web-centric software development had a standard workflow between designers and developers. This was possible because there was a single delivery channel (the web browser) and well-established development constructs. Design patterns like Model-View-Controller had well known coding counterparts such as Java Server Pages, the JSP Standard Template Library or Struts. But now, the introduction of mobile computing has significantly altered this design-development workflow. The key disruptor is the need to target multiple mobile devices with a common set(s) of source code. Regardless of whether devs use a single HTML5/CSS3/JS implementation or native implementations on iOS and Android, there's a greater burden on designer than in the web-centric past. What's worse, the success or failure of mobile apps is more dependent on the complete user experience than ever before. This new reality requires a major shift within development organizations.

PITTSBURGH — Indiana County businessman Daniel Pikel was sentenced Tuesday to serve 27 months in prison for his guilty plea to a count of conspiracy connected to a money laundering scheme at an area drilling business.
Pikel, 57, of Griffith Drive, Home, the owner of Pikel's Universal Auto Service and the BP Inn, both in Rayne Township, admitted to laundering through his accounts almost $3 million in funds embezzled from Falcon Drilling LLC, of Indiana.
Federal prosecutors charged that Pikel accepted and cashed checks from Falcon's former chief operating officer, Larry Winckler, between 2009 and 2012, when a company employee, Cheryl Brooks, approached authorities to report the ongoing embezzlement.
Brooks and Winckler both were initially charged by Pennsylvania state police but Indiana County District Attorney Patrick Dougherty withdrew the cases, allowing federal officials to take over the investigation.
Brooks has been indicted and has pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing. The feds so far have not indicted Winckler.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Melucci and Pikel's defense lawyer, Robert Ridge, of Pittsburgh, filed dueling pre-sentence motions before U.S. District Judge Terrence McVerry.
Ridge cited Pikel's otherwise clean criminal record and his 25 years of service with the Marion Center Volunteer Fire Department, and presented 74 pages of character endorsements from family, friends, neighbors and business associates who praised Pikel's acts of personal kindness and generosity as reasons to be lenient. Ridge also held federal prison overcrowding and burgeoning justice system expenses as cause for sentencing Pikel to probation or house arrest.
Melucci downplayed the suggestion that Pikel, a friend of Winckler since the 1980s, had been cajoled into the years-long laundering scheme by the air of trust and friendship bred of his upbringing in the community of Home. While the court filings put Falcon's loss, attributable to fraudulent billing for non-existent products and services provided through Pikel's accounts, at $2,972,314, Melucci said it is unclear how much Pikel was personally enriched through the scheme.
While alluding to Pikel not needing to borrow money to invest in a renovation project at the BP Inn tavern, Melucci said Pikel has only admitted "that he accepted a few thousand dollars" for his participation.
Court records show Pikel faced a possible sentence of 24 to 30 months in prison, and McVerry ordered him to serve the median, just over two years, and to spend three years under court supervision following his release.

text: hey everyone, i'm new here from colorad, i just bought my first 05 wrx over the weekend in silver metalic grey. i love the 05 interior, way better than the 02's. The car feels really cool, but i hear this clicking noise from the steering column, at first i thought it was my keys, but then i held my keys and for sure its not it. so i'm having to take it back for service this weekend, any one ever had this problem before? if so how did you fix it? another thing is, is it possible to make my car faster w/o louder? i used to own an accord and the whole muffler header thing was cool for about a week after that it got annoying, and i love the WRX's smooth power delivery w/o the vroom noise, so my question is, is there any parts out there (besides cams internals etc etc) that can make my wrx go faster w/o the nasty sound? sorry for the long post. all comments are welcomed! thanks

₹ 299 Décathlon
male and female runners seeking comfort for running up to twice a week.
This model contains microfibre for optimal comfort for running sessions between 30 and 45 minutes.
Ever since i started using this socks i felt very comfortable you dont see any sweat on feet even after 1hour of run. I really liked and started using it for my daily use. Also felt this is better than cotton socks
I want shoes in fancy colour. Which is not available in decathlon.
Material is so good.
Hello Anil,
Thanks for taking the time to write to us,
We are happy that you liked the material of the product. Regarding the size as it is invisible socks so the socks won't be visible outside the shoes and if it is the length between toes to the heel and the heel turn doesn't fall at the heel then you can visit to our nearest Decathlon store and get it replaced.
And regarding some good colours in shoe range: https://www.kalenji.co.uk/kiprun-sd-mens-running-shoes-blue-id_8379736 (we will be getting this and some more by the end of Feb)
Hope I have been able to solve your concern. For further assistance, please feel free to write back to us

Bought 2 pair of socks for 299₹ .. Check the product before buying
soft cloth fits perfectly in shoes
Attracts dust and it was defect too ..
Hello Sameer,
Thanks for taking the time to write to us,
We are really sorry that the product didn't meet your expectation, As you have mentioned in your feedback that it is a defective product so for that you can visit to your nearest Decathlon store and get it replaced.
Now answering to your other query regarding "it attracts dusts" as this running sock is specially made for running so its composition is 95% Polyamide and 5% Elastane which helps the sweat to dry up quickly keeping you dry throughout your run. Regarding the dust factor, so Polyamide doesn't attract much dusts compared to cotton or woollen socks because cotton or woollen socks has lint which attracts and holds dust, which Polyamide fabric doesn't have much so it is better than cotton or woollen socks depending on the usages.
Hope I have been able to solve your concern. For further assistance, please feel free to write back to us.
Jagadish Yadav E-sport manager DECATHLON
Good shopping experience but brands range is limited. Moreover the stuff quality is slightly inferior to Nike towel type socks.
Shopping experience
Slightly inferior quality as compared to Nike
excellent socks which are very comfortable
I love these socks! They're a gorgeous colour (very bright coral), very comfy, not too warm and the collar comes up high enough not to rub under the collar of my trainers. They wash really well too, don't go all hard like some others do.
Socks are very comfortable and fantastic value for money. I ran Manchester Marathon in mine with no blisters or rubbing of any kind. Very comfortable for the whole 26.2 miles!
My feet are truly spoilt, the fit is perfect, they are so comfy and no blisters, and absolute perfect purchase, they also wash well, brilliant price
These socks are superb and would highly recommend them

[SPORTING KC-REAL SALT LAKE: Referee] Hilario Grajeda, who refereed the 2013 MLS All-Star Game in Kansas City, will return to Sporting Park to referee Saturday's MLS Cup final between Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake. Here's are some stats on the 2013 Referee of the Year.
Grajeda refereed 23 games in 2013, tied with Baldomero Toledo for the most in MLS (regular season and playoffs). He did three RSL
regular-season games, one SKC regular-season game, and his one playoff game was the second leg of the Portland-Seattle series.
Grajeda issued
four red cards in 2013, most notably a straight red to Seattle's Osvaldo Alonso after the Cuban elbowed Portland's Will
Johnson in the Sounders' regular-season meeting with the Timbers.
Grajeda issued an average of 2.7 yellow cards a game in 2013, the
third fewest of any MLS referee who did 15 or more games.
Grajeda did one Sporting KC-Real Salt Lake game in 2011 when Sporting KC won, 2-0.
Grajeda sent off Sporting KC midfielder Roger Espinoza, now at Wigan in England, early in the second half.

Re: piecewise and if
I seems a mysterious feature, perhaps a bug, that plotting g[x,y] gives that
segmentation of the surface. But note that the Exclusion option says that
the excluded region must be one dimensional if the object is two
dimensional. Maybe the algorithm is trying to use Exclusion.
How about using this:
f[x_, y_] := Exp[-1/(x^2 + y^2)]
g2[x_, y_] := Piecewise[{{0, Abs[x^2 + y^2] == 0}}, f[x, y]]
Plot3D[g2[x, y], {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}]
Or maybe something like this:
RevolutionPlot3D[Exp[-1/r^2], {r, 0.05, 1}]
David Park
djmpark at comcast.net
From: Jon Joseph [mailto:josco.jon at gmail.com]
I think these two functions should be the same but their plots show a clear
f[x_, y_] := Exp[-1/(x^2 + y^2)] (* this function undefined at (0,0) *)
g[x_, y_] := Piecewise[{{0, x == 0 && y == 0}}, f[x, y]] (* Redefine so the
hole is plugged *)
h[x_, y_] := If[x == 0 && y == 0, 0, f[x, y]] (* Another, I think,
equivalent way to redefine f[x, y] *)
On my machine, "8.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (October 5, 2011)"
when I
Plot3D[g[x, y], {x, -1,1}, {y, -1,1}]
Plot3D[h[x, y], {x, -1,1}, {y, -1,1}]
I see clear gaps along y=0 and x=0 for the g[x, y] plot and h[x, y] works
properly. Am I misusing Piecewise?
Thanks, Jon.

I've been doing allot of development work lately, and sadly it come to a level where Coda just wasn't satisfying my forever demanding needs. Therefore 2 days ago just before the hair loss kicked in. I bought dreamweaver for my Mac… which I planned to keep from falling into my web design/dev computer swamp and just use to keep track of all my business doings. (It's failing because I'm madly in love with it.)
So back to topic, I bought dreamweaver and when it works, I love it. It's not really anything new as I use it on my VAIO desktop which runs on XP (returned to after vista also caused hair loss). However in 2 days it has 'unexpectedly shut' on me 6-7 times.
Anyone else had this problem?
Yep, it's why I stopped using dreamweaver. All I can recommend is make sure you've got the most up to date version, that should cut down on bugs. I found it tended to crash when I did certain things also, so I got in the habit of saving before I did those actions.
thats good to know, well not good but comforting to know it's not just me. Yeah, i've noticed that. It does not seem to like me flipping through tabs when i'm working remotely.
Lets just cross our fingers they fix the bugs soon because it's such a nice programme to use when it works.
That's unfortunate. I love Coda too; but there's a definitely a place for it. For larger applications, Coda doesn't nearly cut it.

Now, many - particularly his family - cannot come to terms with how a boy who went through our own school system and was nurtured by a loving family can have gone so terribly wrong.
He left school at 14 and worked as a spray painter before his father, Mustapha, used his own good employment record to get his son on the State Rail payroll.
Next month Mr Skaf, who emigrated to Australia in 1976 at the age of 17, marks 25 years with State Rail, where he now works as a customer service operator.
In July 2000, aged 18, Bilal Skaf started working part-time in the weeks leading up to the Games.
Mr Skaf produced two silver "medals" and a gold pin sent to him and his son for their work during the Olympics.
"I've always worked hard to support my family," Mr Skaf said.
"I do all I can to provide a house for my wife and children."
The Skafs live in a modest three-bedroom house in an unassuming street in south-western Sydney.
The house is furnished with pastel patterned sofas, cream lace curtains and varnished wooden tables.
Photographs of Mr Skaf, his wife Baria, and their four children adorn the walls, alongside religious texts written in Arabic.
In snapshots when Skaf was young, Mrs Skaf does not cover her head with a scarf. She looks like an ordinary Australian mother, in denim skirts and T-shirts.
She was born in the Lebanese city of Tripoli and migrated here when she was 17.
Family tragedy has struck her before. Her father died in an accident when she was three, she lost her mother and her brother was killed in the Lebanon war.
"I have no father and no mother," she weeps. "My family, it gets smaller, so I have my kids so my family can get bigger. And then they take my Bilal away."
Skaf attended Chullora Primary School, Strathfield South High School and Belmont Boys School, played soccer and in 1995 won two karate trophies.
Mrs Skaf, 41, who has Muslim and Christian friends, seems at odds with her son's apparent attitude to non-Muslim Australians. Apart from racist jibes at the rape victims, one of whom was called an "Aussie pig" during her ordeal, Skaf was the author of this message, found on the mobile phone seized by police: "When you are feeling down ... bash a Christian or Catholic and lift up."
Mrs Skaf would be happy for her sons to marry Christian girls "with a good heart and a good brain". However, soon after Skaf's arrest, she donned the veil.
The Skafs have left their son's bedroom as it was the day police took him into custody.
"We won't disturb it because it reminds us of him and it gives us hope that one day, he will be back," Mr Skaf said.
Mrs Skaf is less positive.
"I cannot sleep," she said. "My heart burns up inside me. It would be better if I died."

I require that all information be confirmed regarding photo shoots, Date, Time, Place, will makeup artist be there, wardrobe supplied, Hair Stylist. I can do my own makeup and Hair so that is not a problem if one is not supplied. Also I asked that if any other photographers or models will be there also, and have their names, MM numbers if they have one, or web site link. Since I am new to modeling I would request to work with one photographer at a time, and no other models until I feel comfortable and ready to work with more then one photographer and other models. I m shy at first but once the camera starts snapping that's when we both start to have fun and create some fabulous pictures.

Brief biographical profile of Joyce Barns
Joyce Barns was born in 1916 and died in 1997. Both parents died when Joyce was very young and she and her brother were bought up in Invercargill by maiden aunts. Joyce trained as a kindergarten teacher in Dunedin and was the Director of several kindergartens and the prestigious Helen Deem Centre which was used in the training of Plunket nurses.
Joyce moved to Wellington in 1947 and was the Director of the Taranaki Street Nursery School, at that time used for the training of Kindergarten teachers. In 1951, Joyce Barns, the director of the Taranaki Street Nursery School, received a bursary from the British Council to study "the most up-to-date methods in work with young children" at London's Institute of Education. Joyce became principal of the Wellington Kindergarten Teachers College, a position she held till 1974 when the Kindergarten Teachers Colleges amalgamated with the Teachers Colleges.
Joyce is remembered as being very warm and caring of "her girls" at the Training College. She was quite proper, but had a great sense of fun. Joyce's influence on early childhood education has been widespread and enduring.

Russian dancer Natalia Osipova has revealed she loves her new life with the Royal Ballet — but is still struggling to learn English.
Osipova, 27, who has become a sell-out draw since she was snapped up last April, said she was "really enjoying" life in London, despite the language barrier.
"I speak really bad English, which makes it difficult for people to know me," she said. "I am going to try my best to learn, but I don't have much time for lessons."
Osipova also revealed that she had no regrets about leaving the Bolshoi, which has been mired in scandal since the acid attack on artistic director Sergei Filin in January last year.
"It was that I felt I couldn't change if I stayed there," she told the Times. "I had danced almost the whole repertoire, but my wishes were greater. I hope the Bolshoi is going to be fine again."
Next week, she will dance the first of her three performances in Giselle with Carlos Acosta.

Alan: None of you know Stu like I do. Not you. Not you. Not you. Not you. Not nobody knows Stu like I do. No one. I can't even tell you what we've been through because we made a pact, more important than blood. What I can tell you is this. This is not Stu's first marriage. There was a whore in Las Vegas a couple of years ago..."
Phil: Time's up.
Alan: We can't be friends anymore. When we get together, bad things happen and people get hurt.
Mr. Chow: Yeah, but that's the point! It's funny!
Chico: Where is he? Leslie Chow stole twenty million from me, and I figure the Wolf Pack have the best chance of finding him! Doug is my insurance!
Alan: Can't you take Stu instead?
Alan Garner: I shouldn't be here.
Doug Billings: Why is that, Alan?
Alan Garner: I'm not supposed to be within two hundred feet of a school... Or a Chuck E. Cheese.
Phil Wenneck: You're not really wearing that are you?
Alan Garner: Wearing what?
Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gonna wear that or are you just fuckin' with me?
Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
Phil Wenneck: So does Joy Behar.
Black Doug: I always wondered why they were called roofies. 'Cause you're more likely to end up on the floor than the roof. They should call them floories.
Alan Garner: Or rapies.
Stu Price: You do know counting cards is illegal, right?
Alan Garner: Counting cards isn't illegal. It's frowned upon... Like masturbating on an airplane.
Phil Wenneck: I'm pretty sure that's illegal too.
Alan Garner: Maybe since 9/11 when everyone got so damn sensitive. Thanks a lot Bin Laden!
Stu Price: Oh my God, I can't believe I gave away my grandmother's Holocaust ring to a complete stranger.
Alan Garner: I didn't even know they gave out rings during the Holocaust.

Phil Wenneck: Yeah, I guess I was.
Alan Garner: Are you okay?

skyer2000 saidtry using mod_rewrite rule, it should be a lot simpler.
I worked on creating javascript to avoid timthumb but of course ran into some last second issues. I was able to select any element that was using timthumb to hijack it, then replace it with the normal image url. Then depending on if it was a background image or actual image I modified the background-size and CSS clip property.
It works fine on basic pages, but when preloaders get mixed in I can't get it to function properly.
I'm not sure if it can be modified enough to work with all templates, so I'm going to stop working on it. I guess I'll just plan on spending extra time removing timthumb from all templates I purchase, and swap in build-in Wordpress functions.Themeforest admins, I hope you are reading this thread.
We currently run a partnership here on Envato marketplaces and we didn't really know eachother before setting it up. We both have access to the account and all other aspects of the partnership, which is the only real way of doing it, in my opinion, if it is to be an equal partnership.
You need to trust each other and so choosing the right partner is important. Obviously you can't know someone very well before you work with them, but a partnership here is not a one off thing, it will last for many months / years and so if one member of the team is untrustworthy it will turn out soon enough.
first of all, it's a sunday of mid August and i could be on holiday more than this only in death.
now i can understand the urgency and all but that still doesn't justify a flood of item comments, especially when we talk about item customization.said so, edit twitter.js
// find this block .find("p") .html(res.find(".tweet-text")[0]) .end() .find("span") .html(res.find(".tweet-created_at")[0]) .end(); // add this line Cufon.refresh();
not tested but should work.
why was this moved here ? wp plugins are sold on CC so the argument is not related to TF only and since when discussions involving review policies belongs to site feedback ?
also, moving a thread from all marketplaces to a barely read forum without giving a motivation sounds quite harsh.
having switched to git a bunch of years ago, i'd never use anything else
Hey guys,
Yep the problem is caused by the changes Envato have just rolled out on the statement page.
We will crank out a fix for this as soon as we can, but unfortunately the script's author (my partner at pixelentity) is away on holidays until Aug. 22nd, so it will likely be after this when we get to fix this script.
Thanks for your interest, and enjoy the large numbers while you can
ZoomIt saidyep but with only 2 it makes around 150 per month…..
Will we be able to transfer our domains to point to this hosting ?PS: Common guys we need 10+ people
a shitload of php code to display a form ? thx but no.
Just noticed the issue.
is this a bug or there are some naming conventions for item preview image ?
unsafeWindow doesn't work with chrome (can't remember opera for sure but i guess it doesn't either)
to let your userscript access the (page) jQuery object in a crossbrowser way, inject it into main document like this
function main() { // your code here (can use jQuery also) } // inject var inject = document.createElement("script"); inject.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript"); inject.appendChild(document.createTextNode("(" + main + ")()")); (document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(inject);

A Happy Birthday at Press Club: Arianna and AOL
Less than six months since the biggest merger in online news history, AOL (America Online) chief executive Tim Armstrong and Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington were the headliners at a National Press Club lunch, July 15 -- Huffington's 61st birthday -- to discuss the deal and the future of journalism, on-line and traditional. Since its $315 million purchase of Huffington Post in February, AOL has hired some of the biggest names in journalism while simultaneously eliminating the jobs of hundreds of full and part-time writers, editors and other employees across America. The rebuilding AOL is reshaping the entire news industry with outlets like Patch, Huffington Post and AOL specialty brands such as AOL Energy, AOL Defense and the planned AOL Government. "Self-expression is the new entertainment," Huffington said. "People want to be part of the story of their times." Among those at the lunch were former Sen.William Cohen and his wife Janet Langhart, Aspen Institute head Walter Isaacson, formerly of Time and CNN, media guru Tammy Haddad and publicist Jan Duplain.

-Take the frame out one by one and cut out the comb to fit in a medium frame, put the comb in the frame and hold it there with elastic bands.Leave the two frames on the outside of the deep
Thanks for your suggestions, all. I can't tell you how long it takes for me to envision how each idea would actually work, you know?When several of you suggest "cut the deep boxes down" I assume you mean take the danged thing apart and then saw it down? Which involves construction?! You know, I don't mind doing a bit of work, but I'm not so good with angles and saws and measuring, and those boxes have all those joints to deal with. I'm sure I'd screw it up. The idea of it makes me want to run for the hills. Sorry. Maybe I'll get better with this.
But I can't quite figure out what you mean when you say "leave the two frames on the outside of the deep" because I'm trying to move from using deeps to using mediums, yes?

OUR MISSIONBYU seeks to develop students of faith, intellect, and character who have the skills and the desire to continue learning and to serve others throughout their lives. Likewise, the mission of the BYU football program is, "To be the flag bearer of Brigham Young University through football excellence, embracing truth, tradition, virtue and honor as a beacon to the world."
INNER STRENGTHA shared desire to "seek learning, even by study and also by faith" (D&C 88:118) knits BYU into a unique educational community. The intellectual range of a BYU education is the result of an ambitious commitment to pursue truth. Brigham Young University has always cared as much about strong moral character as about great mental capability.
LEARNING & SERVICEBy "entering to learn" and continuing to learn as they "go forth to serve," BYU students strengthen not only themselves - they "also bring strength to others in the tasks of home and family life, social relationships, civic duty, and service to mankind." BYU should inspire students to keep alive their curiosity and prepare them to continue learning throughout their lives.
A PLACE FOR WINNERSBYU is home to 74 All-Americans with 88 All-America citations, five College Football Hall of Fame players, a College Football Hall of Fame coach, the 1990 Heisman Trophy winner, the 2001 Doak Walker Award winner, four Davey O'Brien Award winners, two Outland Trophy winners, seven Sammy Baugh Trophy winners and a two-time National Coach of the Year winner.
PRO FOOTBALL PREPBYU football is a great place to launch an NFL career. Over the past 30 years BYU has had 79 players taken in the NFL draft, including 21 this decade. BYU also has had nine first-round draft picks. This year 18 former Cougars are on 13 NFL rosters--which is once again one of the most by any college team in the West.
SCHEDULE & OPPONENTSBYU is a national program with opportunities to play against other top schools in the country. BYU has nonconference victories over top-ranked Miami (Fla.), Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Washington State, Penn State, California, Texas A&M, Virginia, Mississippi State, Arizona State, Arizona, UCLA, Kansas State and Syracuse.
NATIONAL TV EXPOSUREWith 74 nationally and regionally televised games over the last seven years, BYU football is in the spotlight. Thanks to a strong national following, a winning tradition, and the Cougars' high-profile future schedule, the national exposure of BYU Football is sure to increase. It's little wonder BYU Football has produced four of the top-10 largest audiences in ESPN history.
Few universities have a fan base as loyal, dedicated and die-hard as BYU. Cougar fans are some of the greatest fans on earth. Since 1982 BYU has consistently ranked among the top five in attendance in the West, ranking No. 3 in 2008. BYU enters 2009 having sold out its last 12 home games. With its affiliation with the LDS Church, BYU also has a strong national and international following.
OUTSTANDING FACILITIESBYU football is home to clearly some of the nation's top football facilities. Upgrades include a two-story strength and conditioning center, the nation's largest indoor practice facility, football offices and team meeting rooms, leading edge athletic training facilities, football hall of fame and an upgraded game-day locker room at the 64,045-seat LaVell Edwards Stadium.
TRADITION & HONORSSince 1974 BYU has played in 27 bowl games, won a National Championship, claimed 22 Conference Championships and earned 17 national top-25 finishes, including four top-10 finishes. BYU has established itself as one of the top football programs in the West, winning nearly 80 percent of its conference games and 70 percent of all its games since 1972.


text: How many of you out their have full coverage on your big old Caddies? Just curious because I've been considering it for various things like hail damage and parking lot damage, or even your own mishap. But is it really worth paying into for a car that's nearly 20 years old? I could easily spend more in a year for that than I did for the whole car. Basically, how should I handle the issue of protecting my priceless Caddy that insurnace companies consider worthless (ie. They'd total it for almost anything due to the low blue book value)?

A Hollywood Star Two Years in the Making
Feb. 9, 2009
LEXINGTON, Ky. - If you didn't follow the University of Kentucky's gymnastics program, you would never guess that Natalie Rubinstein, the bubbly blonde with the big smile, had endured two devastating injuries that had temporarily put her dream on hold. After nearly two seasons of cheering for her teammates from the sidelines, the 5'1" senior from Hollywood, Fla., has battled back to be a major contributor for the 2009 season.
It all started her freshman year at the 2006 Southeastern Conference Championships, in which Rubinstein dislocated her left elbow during the three-minute touch warm-up prior to the uneven parallel bars. The injury ended her season. She was back in action her sophomore year, when only three meets into the season, she tore her right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while competing on the vault. Rubinstein was, once again, stripped of a full season of competition. One surgery and sixth months of rehabilitation later, she jumped back into training in October 2007. However, while training on the bars, Rubinstein tore her ACL once again on her landing. Only this time, the series of rehab required 12 months.
During her recovery, Rubinstein proved that attitude makes all the difference.
"I think the first time I was just focused on my leg and mentally I wasn't prepared," said Rubinstein. "I took a negative route. I just wanted to get out there for the wrong reasons. You could definitely see that in my physical training. Nothing was clicking. I remember saying, `God, if this is where you want me, that's fine.' Then the next day I tore it again and I was like, `Ok, thanks.' But then I decided to have a better attitude because I realized that I wasn't ready. I truly knew that it wasn't my time. My attitude and being positive is really what kept me going. I knew that God had a better place and a better time for me."
Rubinstein drew her strength from her optimistic outlook and the motivation to get back to her favorite event: the uneven bars.
While she realized she needed to change her attitude, the transformation didn't occur overnight.
"It was a progression, because the whole season of being a cheerleader I knew that the girls truly still loved me," recalled Rubinstein. "The season before that I was sad and bitter, so I wasn't that much of a cheerleader. So the girls weren't that appreciative. Now the team has become stronger, and our goals are focused. We appreciate how good we are and how much the team needs each other. It was definitely a progression because I needed to trust that they really wanted me."
Rubinstein became active in Athletes in Action, a training camp ministry. Serving as an intern, she helped motivate younger girls to be positive.
"I knew I had to walk the walk, so that put a lot of leadership on my shoulders," she said. "I was ready to give it my all for them and myself."
Rubinstein also credits her change in mindset to her team and coaches being supportive while recovering from her second knee injury. The team gave the gymnast a calendar counting down the remaining months of rehab. The second time around, she felt more comfortable with the physical therapy and training she received.
"Knowing that we were doing everything possible helped a lot mentally," said Rubinstein. "I felt that I could trust the staff with my healing process. This time we were able to play it safe, and I trusted that. The first time I think I just wanted to do it my way. I was like, `I want to do it now and compete in all four events.' The second time around I just told myself to be patient and let the time come. I said, `I'm going to work my butt off, and it's going to come.' I just had to believe it."
Rubinstein's injuries were nothing like she had ever experienced. In high school she had always been able to return to competition within a couple weeks or months.
"I never doubted anything within my body," she recalled. "But once you get injured and are in college, and you're not 13 or 16 years-old anymore, you start to feel like you want your future to be OK. You don't want this to happen again. It was definitely a heartbreaker when it did happen again. But you have to keep pushing because you want it in your heart."
The upbeat gymnast finally had her chance to perform at the 2009 Excite Night, the first meet of the year, in which the gymnastics team is introduced to a packed Memorial Coliseum. Prizes are distributed and autographs signed for the many fans that come to watch the star-studded event. It had been two years since Rubinstein had seen competition.
"She was very nervous," Rubinstein's mother, Karen Rubinstein, recalled.
"She was shaking like a leaf," her father, Richard Rubinstein, added with a laugh.
"I didn't sleep a wink the night before," reflected Rubinstein. "I was playing my routine in my head. I was visualizing everything being perfect, and then sometimes I would imagine myself falling. I didn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I had never been that nervous before. I knew this was the first time I would have competed in two years. A friend said to me, `If you are nervous as a senior, imagine how nervous your freshmen are going to be.' And right then I turned it off."
The leader in Rubinstein knew she had to set an example for her younger teammates. She regained her confidence after her usual routine of taking her traditional bubble bath and spending time with her parents and roommates. She realized that everyone believed in her. Her nerves disappeared as soon as she touched the bar.
Rubinstein hasn't been nervous since that night. She simply does what she knows she can do and says that she trusts her body.
"Before I get up there, I'm smiling and excited," she said. "I'm ready to rock."
She knows that attitude really does make the difference. Some girls are nervous and allow that emotion to show on their faces. This isn't the case for Rubinstein. She is sure to flash a big smile for the judges before she performs.
"I want my teammates to trust me and have confidence in me," she explained.
Rubinstein has proven she is a leader on and off the floor. From waving pom-poms from the sidelines to swinging on her beloved uneven bars, she is the epitome of perseverance. She managed to overcome the obstacles that could have ended her career, and instead, chose to fight and follow her heart so she could continue doing what she loves.
They say that good things come to those who wait. Rubinstein serves as the perfect example, waiting two years for the chance to compete again. It appears that in 2009, her time has finally come.

Hall County Fire Marshal Scott Cagle said firefighters from three stations responded about 10 p.m. Monday to a fire at 8947 Forrester Road off Skitts Mountain Road. The 1,100-square foot woodframe house was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived, Cagle said.
The home was unoccupied and no one was hurt.
Cagle said the fire was suspicious because no one lived there and the fact that it was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived. A suspicious dump truck fire occurred at the same address about three weeks ago, Cagle said.
The fire is under investigation.
