Police ID motorcyclist killed in Beaver Ruin crash near I-85
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - The Gwinnett County Police Department is investigating a fatal crash that happened Monday evening at Beaver Ruin Road near Interstate 85.
Motorcyclist Brandon Roy, a 38-year-old from McDonough, was killed in the wreck that left three other drivers injured in unincoporated Norcross.
The preliminary investigation revealed Kenneth Griffin, of Dacula, driver of a red BMW, was traveling westbound in the left turn on Beaver Ruin Road at I-85. Four other drivers, including Roy, were stopped for the traffic light in the left turn lane. Police said Griffin failed to stop and crashed into the stationary vehicles causing a chain reaction crash.
Police said Roy died on the scene and the injured drivers were taken to Gwinnett Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries.
News Chopper 2 captured a medical examiner on the scene along with emergency crews transporting victims to a hospital.
Monday's crash caused a traffic mess at Beaver Ruin Road, Channel 2's Kerry Kavanugh reported from the scene.
Just before 7 p.m., crews were seen cleaning up the debris left behind. Authorities closed the affected portion of Beaver Ruin, reducing traffic to one lane in either direction going over the bridge, Kavanaugh said.
Officials confirmed that affected lanes were reopened hours later.
Police said charges are pending against Griffin.

5 Reasons Of Not Using Social Media
I would like to share my reasons of not using social media. Although my friends sometimes blame on me because I am not willing to share information or interact with them via social media, I do refuse to use social media.
Maybe this sounds familiar to you: I used to log in to each and every individual network to compose new posts, check what's happening in my streams, follow up on conversations and follower requests, and basically perform any other little bit of social media management that was on my plate. I'd love to share a bit about how you can manage your social media using tools and strategies I've used for handling multiple social media accounts—whether you're juggling your personal brand in multiple places or handling a mix of company profiles and personal profiles.

Kind Of Sketchy That Men Don't Wear Engagement Rings
An engagement is a beautiful thing. The standard Merriam-Webster definition is an arrangement to meet or be present at a specified time and place. The other definition?

Let's divulge a few reasons why this should change.

by Sarah Sypniewski January 4, 2013
Our pets sleep on our couches and beds, come along on vacations, and have their own special toys and treats, so why shouldn't they have their own photos? Everybody else in the family has Facebook pages and fireplace mantles full of beautiful shots of themselves doing cool things. It's time to give your pet his rightful place in albums, cell phone galleries, and family history.
Candids are probably the most interesting moments to capture. Consider what specifically you love about your pet. His funny under bite? How he curls up to watch TV? Have your camera ready during opportune times (like when he plays fetch or stuffs himself into a shoebox). For posed shots, find backgrounds that compliment him. If your pet is light-colored, position him in front of dark-colored walls or furniture, or shoot from above onto a colorful rug or bright grass. Get on his level for a cozy perspective or compose the shot slightly off-center for a funky feel. And remember the zoom; wide angles capture him in his element, while tight shots of his features (like his muddy paws after a romp or the tail of his toy mouse dangling from his chin) convey his personality in a surprisingly artistic way. There are no rules - get creative!
You get the best results in environments that have good natural light and are familiar to your pet (especially when photographing cats or other skittish pets). The better he knows the location, the more relaxed he'll be, so start at home. Indoors, choose rooms awash in natural light and throw open those curtains. Aim for meaningful places, like his bed or that afternoon sun patch in the corner he always finds.
Got a yard or a patio? Head to his favorite spot with his toys right after sunrise or just before sunset to capitalize on the beautiful lighting. No yard? If he's game, find a quiet park (avoid dog parks), secluded trail, or local landmark. And try the car, bike, boat, or other modes of transportation he enjoys. You don't need much to capture beautiful images!
Avoid using your flash indoors, which creates that "alien" eye look. Instead, increase your ISO and set the mode on your point-and-shoot camera to "portrait." This automatically widens the aperture, allowing more light to reach your camera's sensor. If you must use a flash, I recommend a product called Professor Kobre's Lightscoop. It fits onto your dSLR camera's hot shoe and redirects the flash so that it doesn't bounce harshly off of your pet, and instead creates a diffused, soft light. Remember, though - natural light is best, so get outside if you can. Light is softer (even and without too much contrast and shadow) when the sun's lower in the sky, so avoid shooting at noon. If you must, opt for an evenly shaded area--especially with all-black or all-white pets.
If you're working with a camera phone, set it to its highest resolution and use the touch-to-focus feature. Note: not all phones have these capabilities – yet - but with ever-evolving apps, you can edit photos into images that might even top those of your camera-toting pals! Just remember, you might have to stick to web viewing, as the resolution may not be high enough for printing.
Being photographed isn't natural for most pets, so go easy on him (and yourself). These last tips can help make things fun and successful:
Taking photos together should be a positive, fun experience. Even though it's challenging to know when and how to use camera settings, set up shots, and wrangle your pet all at once, the more you practice, the easier it gets. Keep your camera handy and view your pet's life like an artist. Once you start seeking out moments to capture, you'll be surprised by what you find!

Hamstrings and the golf swing
By Erika Larkin on 6/20/12
Erika Larkin is the Director of Instruction at Larkin Golf Learning Community at Stonewall Golf Club in Gainesville, Virigina. She was recently named the 2012 Middle Atlantic PGA "Teacher of the Year" and the 2011 "Top Golf Pro" by Washingtonian Magazine and she's oobgolf's newest columnist. She'll be writing on a variety of topics including instruction, so if you have a question for her or an idea for a column, email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Enjoy!
Many of my students have tight hamstrings. Many of my students lose control of their posture and angles in the golf swing. These two elements are closely related and can be cause and effect!
Now just think... if you try and bend forward from your waist to touch your toes, your knees will want to bend if your hamstrings are tight. In the golf swing we are bent over from the waist and we start with our knees bent. However, at the moment of impact, the goal would be to get your front leg relatively straight in order to clear that hip. At the same time it's important to hold your original posture (bent from the waist). So, if your hamstrings are tight you will either keep the front knee bent to compensate which causes a slide and loss of stability OR you will stand up out of your posture because of the inability to stay flexed at the waist while keeping a leg straight.
Certainly there are other reasons why one may stand up in a golf swing, but hopefully this gets you thinking about stretching more often. Try this standing stretch. Put your feet close together- then roll up a towel and hold it in between your knees. Raise your heels on the edge of a book or foam roller. Bend forward as far as you can. Hold this position for 3 seconds and repeat 8 times. Try this again with your toes raised up instead for an even better stretch. You'll be amazed at how much better you will do flat-footed after this exercise!

Well done, i'll have to try that.
birdieXris says:
damn you touchy enter button... anyway, I've found out that between when i warm up and when i'm hitting the ball well, i do notice that my hamstrings and legs in general have worked out the knots and stiffness moreso than my back and lats and never really gave it much thought. I guess this makes sense according to the article. i can't wait to consciously try it.
GolfSmith7 says:
and that my friends is why I have a stretching routine of 20 minutes every morning whether I am playing that day or not! Keeps everything ready to go.
legitimatebeef says:
Good topic. Tight hamstrings is an epidemic from what I have gathered and definitely affects the swing in a big way. I don't do a lot of stretching these days but dead-lifts and hyperextension exercises in my workouts help keep me fairly limber.
mmontisano says:
I once read in an article that said not to bounce or do quick, abbreviated stretches because you could actually tear something. it's better to hold the stretch for about 20 seconds. not sure if it's true though because these things change all the time.

Congratulate yourself if you read, buy, or talk about books. You are directly responsible for a lot of the world's big screen entertainment!
Movie companies recognize the potential to make big money with popular books. Readers of the book present a powerful fan base for the movie-to-come. In 2012, for example, about 50 films were based on books or novels. Recent book-to-movie adaptations include Oscar winners like "The Road," "No Country For Old Men," "The Reader," "The Blind Side," "Schindler's List" and "Shawshank Redemption." This trend is not a modern phenomenon either; Hollywood bank accounts have depended on great novels as movie fodder for over a century, beginning with silent black-and-white films like "Alice in Wonderland" (1903), "Oliver Twist" (1907) and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1923). While special effects and film methodologies continue to evolve, a good story still has to come first. What better place to find it than in a great book?
The book-to-move trend is so entrenched nowadays that you can expect the film version of a popular read to appear in five years or less. (Think "Harry Potter," "Twilight," and "Hunger Games.") This year promises several sure-to-be hits like "Divergent," "The Fault in Our Stars," and—gasp—even "Fifty Shades of Grey." At least six Young Adult book-based movies are coming out soon, with over twenty more in development, including "Vampire Academy," "The Forest of Hands and Teeth," and "The Maze Runner."
If you're looking for more adult fare, keep your eyes open for these upcoming novel adaptations that have caught the interest of a few sizable directors and actors: Joe Hill's "Horns" starring Daniel Radcliffe; Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl" directed by David Fincher and starring Amy Dunne and Ben Affleck; and Mark Zusak's "The Book Thief" starring Geoffrey Rush.
So keep reading and consider this – your readership is a vote for the next potential hit movie!
What upcoming book-based movie are you most excited about seeing?
David H
Posted January 28th, 2014
Great post, Matt. One successful book-to-movie conversion lately was "Ender's Game." For those who missed it in the theater, the DVD should be out soon. For those who missed the book, it's a great read!

We present label-free functional photoacoustic imaging of the ocular microvasculature in living animals. The anterior segment of an adult mouse was imaged with a laser exposure level well within the American National Standards Institute safety standards. Individual red blood cells traveling along the iris capillaries were clearly resolved, and the hemoglobin oxygen saturation in the iris microvasculature was imaged spectrally. We believe that photoacoustic imaging has the potential to advance the diagnosis and treatment of ocular diseases in humans.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/10/2011 (2085 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
They will be missing their head coaches, but Brandon University Bobcats teams will be in action this weekend, as scheduled.
BU professors went on strike early Wednesday morning for the second time in only four years, with Bobcat head coaches among those walking the picket lines at the university. While the strike is in effect, head coaches Russ Paddock (men's volleyball), Lee Carter (women's volleyball), Gil Cheung (men's basketball) and Ritchie Jacobson (women's basketball) will not be allowed to run practices or games, leaving their assistants in charge as all four teams prepare in earnest for the start of the Canada West conference regular season later this month.
"It's a difficult time for sure," said Paddock, who also doubles as Brandon's athletic director and has turned over practices to his assistants Grant Wilson, Mark Geekie and Warren Birch. "We're starting to think about the start of the regular season and we want to put a lot of time into preparing our teams and we want to do what's best for them, so it's a difficult time for sure …
"Hopefully the assistants can do a good job and hopefully the strike is shorter than longer."
While Paddock's men's volleyball squad is idle this weekend, the other three teams will take to the court.
Cheung will turn coaching duties over to his assistant Jeremy Wielenga to run the bench when the Bobcats men's basketball squad hosts the Lakehead Thunderwolves in a pair of pre-season games on Friday and Saturday night at the BU gym, with tip-off times slated for 7:30 p.m.
Also at BU this weekend, Carter will not be in attendance when his women's volleyball team faces the University of Regina Cougars in exhibition matches on Saturday (5 p.m.) and Sunday (3 p.m.). Former players Becky Young and Ashley Creighton will guide the Bobcats, along with fellow assistants Kevin Neufeld and Derek Richels.
Meanwhile, Jacobson's women's basketball team will be led by assistant coaches Tom Price and Sarah Lopes when it competes in the Canadian Mennonite University tournament in Winnipeg.
BU's volleyball teams open the regular season in just two weeks, while the basketball squads tip off their season in three weeks.

In the NFL long snappers are taken for granted, but as the Oakland Raiders found out in week one of the 2012 season, they are very important. Luckily for the Raiders, they have one of the best in Jon Condo. Condo is a two time Pro Bowl selection and provides a spark to Oakland's special teams.
Condo left week one against the San Diego Chargers with an injury. As a result, the Raiders botched three punts, one getting blocked and two bad snaps in a 22-14 season opening loss. The three miscues led to 9 points. Condo's importance was never more apparent. Long snapping is a very specialized position and finding a replacement is difficult.
The next week Condo returned and provided stability for the rest of the season. Punter Shane Lechler never had another punt blocked all year. Condo also contributed five special teams' tackles and a fumble recovery.
Entering the final year of his contract, Condo will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2013 season. This year, he will make a base salary of 1.2 million dollars. The Raiders are still battling salary cap issues so they can wait to extend Condo. His leadership and consistency make him a valuable member of the Oakland special teams.Tags: Football, Jon Condo, NFL, Oakland, Oakland Raiders, Pro Bowl, Shane Lechler, special teams

Market-style reforms widen racial divide in Cuba
By Rosa Tania Valdés and Daniel Trotta
HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba's experiment with free-market reforms has unintentionally widened the communist-led island's racial divide and allowed white Cubans to regain some of the economic advantages built up over centuries.
Under President Raul Castro, who took over from his brother Fidel Castro in 2008, Cuba has expanded its non-state workforce, loosened travel restrictions and promoted private cooperatives and small businesses.
As the communist government relinquishes its once near-total control of the economy, inequality has widened, undoing some of the progress seen since the 1959 revolution.
Much of the funding for new businesses such as restaurants, transportation services and bed-and-breakfast inns - targeted at tourists, diplomats and dollar-earners - comes from family members who emigrated to the United States over the last 50 years, especially Miami.
They sent almost $3 billion to relatives back in Cuba last year and, as they are mainly white, their investments put black and mixed-race Cubans at a disadvantage as they try to set up their own businesses.
Walter Echevarria, a 60-year-old black man, co-owns a humble cafeteria run out of a ground-floor Havana apartment belonging to one of his partners.
There is no seating, and the clients are mostly state workers who order pork sandwiches and juice or a coffee for about 15 Cuban pesos, or around $0.60.
"It's usually the whites who have family abroad and send them money, and they can set up bigger businesses," Echevarria said while customers lined up at the take-out window during the busy lunch hour. Continued...

Do you ever get the feeling that you're overcomplicating things?
There are certainly many important decisions in life that need careful consideration. But people with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) tend to get stuck "carefully considering" even the smallest decisions, like where to keep a new item that you bought, how to spend your day off, or what to order in a restaurant. We can easily over think the simplest of tasks, making them more complicated and stressful than they need to be.
Here's a real-life example: Donna is a former client who used to refer to herself as "The Queen on Complicated." One day, when she was sorting through the mail, she discovered a bill for routine lab work that should have been covered by her insurance. Donna immediately became anxious. She was fairly certain that her insurance company was supposed to cover the lab work. But what if they didn't? She knew that the best thing to do would be to call the company that sent the bill. But Donna put off calling them because she was afraid that they would tell her the lab work wasn't covered and she owed $210……which would lead to an uncomfortable conversation with her husband about why she didn't make sure the tests were covered before she agreed to them……which would lead to a problem paying the bill on time, because her credit card bill was already a little too high this month……which would lead to cutting out some other things, like the benefit dinner for breast cancer research (a cause that is near and dear to Donna) that she was really looking forward to…
But–and here's the important part–the situations she was anticipating were really just nervous guesses and assumptions. Rather than looking at the task as simply one step (making a phone call) she saw it as an overwhelming process because she was afraid that the ultimate outcome would be less than desirable.
When Donna finally stopped agonizing and made the phone call, she found out that the lab was simply missing some of her insurance information and just needed her social security number to process the claim. All that stress for nothing!
Donna spent days over thinking and overcomplicating the situation. Can you relate? It doesn't have to be so hard! Solutions to problems like Donna's are really just a series of steps and decisions. Step one is to make the phone call and get the facts. Over thinking these types of situations always leads to overwhelm, procrastination, and stress. So don't do it! Simplify your thoughts to simplify your steps.

Camacho brain dead
Former three-time world boxing champion Hector "Macho" Camacho (picture) is brain dead after being shot in the neck in Puerto Rico, his doctor said yesterday.
Doctors were still performing tests yesterday before meeting with his family, said Ernesto Torres, the director of the Centro Medico hospital in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico where Camacho was taken after Tuesday's shooting.
"Clinically, Camacho is brain dead," the doctor said, adding that it will be up to the family to decide whether to disconnect the respirator keeping the boxer alive, he added.
The announcement came around 30 hours after 50-year-old Camacho was shot while in a car in San Juan by people in another vehicle outside a liquor store.
Camacho's driver, Alberto Mojica Moreno, 49, was killed in the shooting. It was unclear if they were targeted or simply caught in a random act of violence.
Camacho, originally from Puerto Rico, has a career record of 79-6-3 with 38 knockouts, and over his career he took on all comers, including big names like Oscar De La Hoya, Julio Cesar Chavez, Sugar Ray Leonard, Felix Trinidad, Ray Mancini and Greg Haugen.
Earlier this year, US police charged Camacho with child abuse for allegedly slamming his son into a floor at his ex-wife's home in Florida. He was accused of hitting and stomping on his son, police documents say.

Mine was a six inch long bolt. Crazy how it could puncture a tire.

Re: Thousand dollar needlenose pliers
I had a two inch triangular piece of plastic from a road reflector puncture my Continental DWS's in my 550i once. I drove about 1/4 a mile on it (because I was very close to the exit on the highway and wanted to get to a gas station to change it) and apparently it completely shredded the belts and such so that the tire was unsalvageable. Unfortunately, the DWS's were about 1/2 tread, so I basically just went ahead and replaced both tires so that I had equal grip on both sides. I was pretty unhappy because they did not have any more DWS's, and had to go with I think a Toyo instead. That wasn't a fun day, although the tires on the 550i were marginally cheaper than the setup on the V, it is still an expensive 19" low-profile staggered setup.

Re: Thousand dollar needlenose pliers
Finally got everything fixed. I ordered the wheel from GMPartsDirect -- $346 plus ten dollar handling charge, free shipping. Only hangup was that it took ten days to get to California from North Carolina. I ordered the tire last week from a local outlet of America's Tire Company -- website showed an out the door price of $511 but it ended up costing $519 (website did not mention a special order handling charge). Tire got here three days ago, but the wheel did not show up until this morning.
Replaced the wheel because it had the big hole in it, plus some bending around the hole, plus some rim damage from driving about a mile from where it happened back to my garage. Tire was obviously toast -- 3/4 inch cut plus sidewall damage from driving it as it went flat. Happy to be back in action -- hated driving the wife's CLS or the truck.
^^^Good deal!

Electronic aggression is a relatively new communication phenomenon, the mental health impacts of which among youth are an emerging and increasingly critical health problem. The problem is important as many researchers, policy makers, educators, parents and young people are finding it difficult to identify and prevent this form of violence. Moreover, the means and media of this movement continue to evolve at a rapid rate. The purpose of this exploratory study is to examine the phenomena of electronic aggression in youth and the corresponding impact to their psychological health. The current exploratory analysis examines the similarities and differences between traditional bullying and electronic aggression and the significance of the resulting mental health outcomes for youth shown in the bully, victim and bystander roles. A line of inquiry was developed by the researcher to determine whether there may be a potential coliseum effect, amplifying the psychological harm to those involved. Theoretical sampling was used to examine three cases chosen for their social notoriety and ongoing proliferation. In addition to the factual and documented data relative to the vii cases, the original posted comments and interactions of third-party bystanders on the Internet were collected and analyzed in order to examine their contributing role in and potential impact on electronic aggression. Upon analyzing the themes found within these cases, a critical factor emerged relative to the role of the electronic bystander. The ability for a dissociated online persona to be anonymous and invisible in an environment – the Internet – that is relentless and the stage to infinite audiences has the potential to amplify the aggression's negative effect on the target by prolonging the victimization indefinitely. At the same time, this virtual coliseum seems to evoke aggressive behaviors among some youth who otherwise might not engage in this form of violence. The researcher determined that potential negative mental health impacts may be increased as a result of a coliseum effect, where peripheral spectators to acts of electronic aggression contribute to and nourish its existence. As unmonitored access to the Internet and other electronic media increases, electronic aggression will likely follow a similar trajectory. It is therefore critical to conduct further research on this phenomenon in order to understand how and why it occurs and how various short and long term repercussions on the mental health of the youth involved evolve. Only then can preventive measures be developed, implemented and systematically evaluated.

And far from it being the smooth and easy option… all I can say is iMovie, viagra you bastard. What should one edit video on? Something easier, I hope.
Anyway, here it is. This is me. And a bit of Hux.

Love this Alice! I have a question for you – how in the name of all things holy do you juggle a newborn and a toddler?!
My husband goes back to work on Monday & I am bricking it.
Don't know if Elfie was the same but my toddler is pretty rambunctious. He's just started to launch himself, starfish style, across my lap whenever baby cries so as to sabotage breastfeeding. And my newborn is a boob monster. No idea how I'm going to get my toddler to nap with a baby permanently attached to my boob!
Any magical tips most appreciated ;) xx
Hux is rather a handsome chap and you are great on video. House tour please!
Well done! I was rather amused by the words on your fridge behind you ;)
Also amused by the words on the fridge! :P Made us chuckle in the office!
Hux is such a cutie! and you're so brave. I hate to see myself on videos, even my wedding one where I was all made up. I think you Vloggers are a brave bunch. Keep these coming.
Great first Vlog – i love these! Seeing & hearing people that are the people in my phone/on my laptop every day makes me happy. Especially with a finale like that!
Looking forward to the next one, show off ;)
On the top of my blog plans for 2013 is to blog more. Haven't managed any yet which is a pain as I had it in my head that I'd try and do one each month. I suppose I still have a few days left of the month to pop my blogging cherry I suppose.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on parenting issues generally. Perhaps some "what we've been up to this week" type vlogs.
And much more of your gorgeous children too please. How do you ever get anything done when you could be staring at Hux's cheeky grin all day? X
Firstly: I love the face especially for Hux
Secondly: The fridge magnets really made me laugh
Hux is SO cute!
I look forward to your next Vlog and may even do one myself. x
My childhood dream was to be in Home & Away. Actually that's still my dream now. I feel if I ever get to Australia it WILL happen.
My favourite line from your vid? 'Don't worry, it is organic'. Brilliant.
P.S I think each video should feature swear word fridge magnets. I'm interested to see how many you can come up with…
Gorgeous little man. I could listen to you talk all day. I may start and I LOVE ALICE HAROLD fan page on facebook.
you crack me up…in a good way! x
Great first video, I'm a fairly new subscriber but enjoy your posts on family life, it's always nice to know your not the only one struggling sometimes. I think anything to do with family life would go down a treat. The many obstacles to overcome with children, teething, breast feeding, potty training, weaning and sleep training.. all could make for good viewing. Maybe you could do meal ideas as vlogs too like a celeb chef cook along thing.
You are so brave. Loved the 'not even annabell carmel has time to be annabell carmel' great x
Bravo bravo round of applause for Mrs H! Great to see you post your first vlog and I look forward to seeing many more. Especially like the fact you still have the swear words on your fridge hee hee hee
Allegra & I watched the vlog together and her face lit up like a Christmas tree when Hux came into view – I think she's in love :-) hope the house move went ok xxx
Um, that was pretty boring. Stop now.
Are you for real?!
Ignore this Alice, there are far many more of us who are very happy (and far from bored!) to see/hear you vlogging and look forward to more, so keep going with it – not that I would expect you to take much heed from someone who goes by the name "Blah" anyway…
I love it! How do you have 2 teeny tots & wear a white shirt?!
Ok, I'd like to hear your opinions on (in no particular order) – cbeebies, wine, PND and Annabel K! Well, you did ask ;)
Look forward to hearing from you again soon!
I'm surprised I really like your vlog because normally I can't be bothered to watch them. Keep attention seeking I don't mine – looking forward to watching more especially about piles haha keep the dick words and your honesty coming xx
Ooooooh I LOVE a good blog. Please, PLEASE keep making em! I'd even listen to you talking about piles, along as you promise to follow it swiftly with the one on wine. xx
Blog?! VLOG!
I loved it. You are very natural on camera and I love these little insights into people's lives. Also chuckled at the 'organic' and 'Annabel Karmel' comments. And your fridge magnets…
Great idea! Not self-indulgent at all! Keep going, we want to see more of your house please and what you've done with your new place because you always have super decor ideas! Plus how about some vlog cooking? All the best!
I very much enjoyed your first VLOG! So brave to put yourself out there, but who wouldn't when this is the end product…?! The only videos I've done thus far have been with my face behind the camera (even my voice gives me the icks!) – I'd love to hear anything about weaning. I'm currently (quietly, as Reuben isn't quite 6 months) starting on solids but I'm now panicking as I haven't read any Annabell Carmen (or anything other than what the propaganda the Health Visitor gave me) and I heard a horrible rumour that there is a 'lump window' and if you miss it your kid is going to be a fussy eater and only eat yoghurt forever more, or words to that effect!
Ah love this, very funny to me. Especially love the cheeky magnets in the background :) genius. I for one am still waiting to hear how you got rid of Elfies dummies either by blog or vlog. We still have ours and have 6 months to get rid by the time L is 3. Xx
[…] forgotten all about the book until I saw Alice's first Vlog. She said, whilst feeding gorgeous baby Hux, "not even Annabel Karmel has time to be Annabel […]

For Apple's fiscal year third quarter, projections are that Cupertino will report about 27.15 million iPhones sold, up about 4.3% from same period last year, or 26.03 million. Those estimates are a blend between Wall Street pros and other "independent" analysts.
When compared to the bulk of Apple's sales trend, it is not a horrific outlook. When contrasted with the spurt in sales with the new models being introduced, particularly in 2012 and 2011, things do not look so hot. Given that Apple is selling three iPhones right now, likely to become four models later this year, the dilution of the iconic device is still managing some growth even in matured markets.
Apple is facing a much larger competitor that is Android and its breadwinner, Samsung. Nokia has been making strong inroads with its own affordable models and a host of Chinese manufacturers are gluing together more and more cheap gear for use in Asia. Apple's earnings call is on July 23rd and at that time, all will be revealed.

I am dual booting Win7 and Backtrack Final. Generally they both work fine. Here are some exceptions.
I first tried using BackTrack Pre-final alone. Various hardware(sound, and trackarea) did not work. It also would not recognize the SD slot. I switched to dual-boot mode with BackTrack 4 Final and all is well.
The internal wireless does not work or at least is not recognized by BackTrack 4 Final. I used all techniques to get the internal wireless to work. No joy.
I am using Alfa AWUS036H with great results. Injection also works.
I also tried Asus WS-167G. HCL says it works but I was unsuccessful. I tried for quite a while.
I used Linksys WUSB54g v4. This works.
I used Linksys WUSB54GC. This did not work for me. I followed all the instructions. I downloaded the driver, and did the 'ifconfig rausb0 up' etc. No joy.
If you use the Alfa for wireless, you will not have any problems with HP 311 1000NR on BackTrack 4 Final.

There is apparently solid interest in Tim Tebow around the NFL.
ESPN's Adam Schefter has just reported that Jacksonville, Green Bay, Miami and the Jets have all either internally discussed acquiring Tebow or have discussed it with the Broncos. Schefter described the Jets as being a long shot.
He'd probably have the best chances to play in Jacksonville (his hometown) and Miami. He'd be a backup with the Packers, but the Packers are known for developing quarterbacks and it could be a good spot for him.
Denver is bent on trading him and doing it soon. It seems like they have a market.

Internal Funding
Graduate students receive financial support from a variety of sources including internal awards and Fellowships, external awards, Teach Assistantships, Teaching Fellowships, and so on. A total funding package for an individual student composed of different combinations of funding from these sources is explained in annual funding letters from the Graduate Office (usually in July) and SGS (usually in August).
If a student wins an internal or external award, this new award will affect the types and amounts of internal funding provided. If you win an internal or external award, please check with the Graduate Chair of History as soon as possible to ascertain your final funding package.
To find out more about funding of graduate studies in history, please consult the School of Graduate Studies.
Some of the awards listed by the SGS do not require the student to apply for them; rather students are considered for these awards by the Graduate Chair as part of their annual funding package (e.g. McLaughlin, Bracken). Others do require students to make a formal application (Dean's Travel). The Graduate Office regularly sends out notices to our current students about funding competitions both within the university and beyond. In some cases, students submit their applications to the Department of History, in other cases to the SGS and in some cases directly to the funding organization. Please check the details of the awards carefully to ensure that you send your application to the correct party. Please ensure that the Graduate Office has your current queensu.ca email account and that you check this account regularly so that you don't miss important financial information.
Of particular interest to history students are the following awards: Dean's Travel, Timothy Frank Fellowship, Rickerd Fellowship, among others. Please check the SGS Calendar for details of all these awards.
Please note that Queen's supports conference travel for MA and PhD students presenting at conferences. The Conference Travel Award is administered by the department and requires that you apply for this award before you attend the conference:
The Registrar's Office also provides funding opportunities (bursaries) for Graduate students.

2008 Jeep Commander Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2008 Jeep Commander based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The service 4WD system light may illuminate with no fault codes stored in the final drive control module (FDCM). Our technicians tell us a software update for the FDCM is available to correct this concern.
Delayed engagement of the automatic transmission may be due to a faulty internal cooler return filter. Our technicians tell us all cooler filters with the "AB" suffix on the part number are suspect and should be replaced.
Owners have reported several instances of the interior door handles coming loose or breaking. The factory door handles are part of the entire door panel, so an OEM or factory repair would require replacement of the door panel at considerable cost. There are multiple aftermarket solutions involving removing the door panel to repair the original assembly, or retrofitting an aftermarket interior handle to address the issue.
A water leak from the sunroof and/or headliner is often caused by clogged or misrouted sunroof drain tubes. Inspecting the sunroof drain tubes should be the first step in checking for the cause of these type of water leaks.
3.7 V6 and 4.7 V8 engines may develop exhaust leaks due to broken exhaust manifold bolts. Exhaust manifold gaskets and bolts should be replaced as necessary.
Spark knock, noise/vibration/harshness, and/or Check Engine Light issues may develop. Our technicians tell us powertrain control module (PCM) software upgrades may correct these concerns.
Vehicles with manual temperature control may develop a condition where warm air is coming from the instrument panel outlets when cold has been selected. Our technicians tell us a revised air distribution housing is available to correct this concern.
Vehicles equipped with a MYGIG radio may encounter a dead battery condition. This can be caused by the radio not powering down properly. Flickering of the radio backlighting when the radio should be powered down would indicate a fault requiring replacement of the radio.
The hard drive for the MYGIG radio may become corrupt. Symptoms would include: The radio does not go past the "Navigation is being activated" screen, music on the hard drive cannot be accessed, capacity of the hard drive shows 0. If all three of these symptoms are present the MYGIG radio software will require updating.
An abnormal noise may develop from the HVAC blower motor as a result of debris ingestion. After any debris is removed, an air baffle screen can be installed on the inlet opening under the cowl grill to try and prevent a re-occurrence of the problem.
The oil change monitor may illuminate prematurely. A powertrain control module (PCM) software update is available which should correct this concern.
On Vehicles with a 4.7L or 5.7L V8 engine, the Check Engine Light may illuminate with code P2181 for a cooling system performance fault. Or technicians tell us that updated software for the powertrain control module (PCM) is available to correct this concern.

[np_storybar title="Watch Clinton's opening statements" link="#1″]
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, at times emotional and fierce, insisted on Wednesday that her department is moving swiftly and aggressively to strengthen security at U.S. missions worldwide after the deadly Sept. 11 raid on the consulate in Libya.
In a highly-political hearing, Clinton was praised by Democrats and faced heated questions from Republicans.
Sen. Rand Paul, a presumed 2016 presidential candidate for the Republicans, said he would have fired her if he had been in charge and found that she had not read cables from her team in Libya asking for more security there.
Clinton notably ignored him.
"Had I been president and found you did not read the cables from Benghazi and from Ambassador [Chris] Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post," Paul said. "I think it's inexcusable."
In her last formal congressional testimony as America's…

Young Tunisian filmmaker Zied Litayem graduated from Manouba's Higher Institute for Multimedia Arts (ISAMM) with a degree in screenwriting and directing for film and audiovisual works. He has directed a short fiction film, a short documentary, many advertising films, and music videos for Tunisian artists. Last December, he shone as one of the participants of Dia Sud Med, a cross-media training project co-financed by Euromed Audiovisual, and is currently completing a masters in production and assistant directing at the ISAMM.
Euromed Audiovisual met Litayem at the Tarek Ben Ammar studios in Ben Arous outside Tunis on the film set of Affreux, Cupides et Stupides directed by Ibrahim Letayef and produced by Ulysson (watch the interview with the film's main actress, Afef Ben Mahmoud). The young filmmaker was busy documenting the shooting.
Because Euromed Audiovisual appreciates this young director's talent and drive, we commissioned the following video.
In September 2013, we visited the set of Ibrahim el Batout's new thriller El Ott

"The website is very user friendly and easy to navigate. The quality of the paper and product overall were amazing. It was delivered on time as promised and looked so professional. I would definitely use this site and product in the future!!"
"I love Tiny Prints! The original order had a glitch...we still don't know what happened but Tiny Prints came through and fixed the problem in a very timely manner. So impressed and the customer service was incredible. I'm about to order my daughter's boyfriend's announcements as well! Thanks so much!!"
"The website was user friendly, lots of templates to choose from, I had a really hard time deciding which ones I liked the most. I just did the most basic format for printing and it turned out great, no need for fancy glossing on cards. They delivered it a lot faster than anticipated, came 4 days earlier than expected, which is great!"
"This card is even better in person. It's beautiful! The colors work perfectly together to frame your photos. The quality is excellent. Paper thickness is exactly what I expected. I'm happy I chose this card for our announcement."
"I ordered these announcements to share my son's graduation with friends and family that I know would most likely NOT be able to make it to the graduation ceremony. It was a money savings things since formal graduation announcements are so expensive. However, these are so nice and so fun with all the pictures I almost wish I was sending these to everyone!"

Spending the day with her boys, Kate Hudson headed over to Brentwood this afternoon to grab a bite to eat in Los Angeles, California on Thursday (August 2).
With her hair pulled back into a low bun, the "Something Borrowed" actress looked beautiful in a blue dress as she made her way to her car carrying her almost 1-year-old son Bingham while her 8-year-old son Ryder followed closely behind.
Kate has been wearing in her new dancing shoes in preparation for her guest role on "GLEE" where she will act as a mentor for Lea Michele's character on the series at the New York Academy for Dramatic Arts.
The 33-year-old actress will play Cassandra July, the "negative reinforcement" practicing dance teacher and mentor to the 25-year-old's character, Rachel Berry, who couldn't be more excited to work with the Hollywood star.

Samsung Gets Into Fitness Tracking With New Smartwatch
The technology brand hopes to attract consumers with active lifestyles in latest launch of wearable devices.
Hopping on the activity tracker bandwagon, Korean technology giant Samsung has unveiled the Gear Fit in their new line of Gear 2 smartwatches to be released this April.
According to JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Division at Samsung:
Samsung understands that the next generation of wearable mobile solutions must directly reflect of the diverse interests and needs of consumers. In response, our Gear product portfolio continues to expand with unique devices for a wide range of lifestyles, including the new Gear Fit designed to help those consumers striving to live more fit and active lives without sacrificing their own personal style or their ability to stay connected on the go.
The Gear Fit is more ergonomic than its predecessor, featuring a curved face and changeable, adjustable thin rubber straps. Plus, the Fit has an IP67 rating for water-resistance, meaning it can stay under water for up to 30 minutes, and the battery will reportedly keep the watch alive for 3 to 4 days. The bad news though, is the new Gear watches will only work with Samsung Galaxy phones.
While the Super AMOLED display is slimmer than its siblings at 1.84 inches with a 432×128 resolution, wearers will still be able to touch and swipe their way through notifications (calls/texts/emails/alarms) and control media from their phones using a Bluetooth connection — in addition to telling time. Samsung will also be allowing the development of third-party apps, so possibilities abound. As for fitness features, the Fit will carry a stopwatch/timer, heart rate monitor, accelerometer and gyroscope, which will sync activity data to Samsung's S Health app.
By incorporating features to the Gear Fit that contend with the likes of Fitbit, Jawbone and Nike, Samsung could attract those who were waiting for a 'smarter' fitness band that can let them live tweet their morning run.

If you're growing your beauty brush collection or want to add some new, unique brushes to your arsenal, BECCA The One Perfecting Brush, $49 is right up your alley! This multi-tasking brush is designed to do the work of a foundation, powder, highlighter, contour and blush brush all in one handy brush. Â The goat hair bristles are can be used for liquids, creams, powders, making it ideal for nearly every product in your makeup bag.
I've been putting The One Perfecting Brush through its paces over the past couple of weeks, trying it on a variety of beauty products. My favorite way to use the brush is for buffing foundation into the skin. I find that it consistently gives skin a perfected, airbrushed finish. I've used it on both liquid and cream foundations, as well as BB creams, and found it to work well on each type.
I love to add a highlight and contour to my look, and found that the shape of the brush works great for applying product to the cheekbones and contours of the face. I also used the brush to apply my powder blush and although it worked perfectly well, I still prefer a traditional blush brush. Some habits are hard to break! The brush is still worth it, even if you never use it to apply cheek color, because the perfect skin it gives is reason enough to have on hand.
To use, apply makeup to the brush and then onto your face using either horizontal (forehead, chin, cheeks) or vertical motions (nose). The only thing I didn't care for was that the brush tended to shed a bit. It may just be a fluke with my brush or it may just be because it's a new brush (I washed it last night, so that may solve the problem). Other than that, I had no problems with the brush and have used it nearly every day.
I never experienced any problem with product colors overlapping either. Any product I used traveled down the bristles to the base of the brush. Crazy! This brush is genius for travel, eliminating the need to carry a ton of brushes with you.  If you're looking for a new beauty tool for 2014 or you want to streamline your beauty routine, BECCA The One Perfecting Brush is definitely a brush you should consider adding to your beauty bag!

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
Punctual, Professional and good value, will use HEating again and recommend rated people for finding quality tradespeople.
Very impressed with work - finally I got someone who was able to diagnose & fix long-standing problem with overflow. Would definitely recommend!!

Yes, I like sword fighting. Training for the eminent zombie attack.

Those of us old enough to have remember watching Saturday afternoon westerns have long ago realized that reality was very different than what Hollywood depicted in those films. Now it turns out that what Hollywood taught us about swordfighting was incorrect as well. I'm sure this probably doesn't come as a surprise to most members. Hopefully you will apreciate the following article: Swordfighting is Not What You Think It Is
Yes, I like sword fighting. Training for the eminent zombie attack.
When I leave the home port:
S&W 642 Airweight, Ruger SP 101, Colt Detective Spec., CZ RAMI, Kahr PM9, Kahr CW40, S&W Model 10-7, Glock 30, 19, and 26, Browning Hi Power, CZ82, Colt Commander, Dan Wesson PM7, Ruger LCP
I enjoyed watching that, however, that was not "a gentleman's sword fight". What so many have seen on TV and movies is Gentleman's sword fighting. I prefer the video
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson
I like how the technique was to "Keep moving" which is the same in most combat
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
What do you mean what I see in the movies isn't real?

never overextend yourself
never telegraph your movements
never do the same move repeatedly
the best defense is an overwhelming offense
do the unexpected
and last but not least...
fight like its the last one you'll ever be in.

When I was on Okinawa I used to love watching the police practice Kendo during their lunch hour.
One of the most amazing things about the matches was how short they were, usually a matter of a few seconds or less. Usually only 4 - 5 strokes between the two contestants unless they were really well matched. (Often wish I'd taken lessons over there.)

"Average. The music provided by the DJ were songs we chose, so that was fine. His announcing skills were decent, but he did try to talk over the music a few times and guests couldn't hear. It was leading up to the wedding that we had issues. They didn't get us contracts in a timely manner. Contracts had to be sent back for missing or incorrect information. Just felt very sloppy."

"we had a 1959 vintage ivory rolls that whisked us away at the end of the evening. The driver was friendly and on time. The car was immaculate and beautiful. When you first go to their location to leave a deposit and pick out a car, they don't have the friendliest or most welcoming staff. That would be the only downside."

All in all the day was amazing, and I'd choose the same location again."

"the venue itself was great for my guests and for the rehearsal dinner we had there. Leading up to the wedding however, I had to deal with 3 different sales managers which apparently kept turning over. on the day of my rehearsal dinner, a staff member called me requesting payment which I'd already made in full months before!!! It sent me into tears and i thought it was very unprofessional that they didn't check the file ahead of time. Finally, I was called a month after my wedding and told that I needed to pay a balance of $54 becase the previous sales manager forgot to include tax on my bill."

Atlanta author's characters seek better odds, on and off the racetrack
UMKC's BkMk Press publishes Andrew Plattner's story collectionKansas City, Mo. - In Andrew Plattner's new BkMk Press story collection - "A Marriage of Convenience" - characters try to improve their odds on the racetrack and in life. As writer and editor George Core writes, "Plattner's best stories concern the seedy world of horse racing… the race track, usually a small track in a dying town, often a steel town... This milieu is as natural to Andrew Plattner as the Catholic Church and its priests were to J. F. Powers, and the agrarian world of Georgia to Flannery O'Connor."
The celebrated writer Frederick Barthelme calls the book "a masterful performance from first to last." Novelist and story writer Sefi Atta calls the book "a brilliant collection of short stories, honest, wise, and full of warmth."
Plattner is the author of "Winter Money," which won the Flannery O'Connor Prize for Short Fiction. He also wrote "The Kentucky Derby Vault: A History of the Run for the Roses," which was a finalist for the Castleton Lyons' and Thoroughbred Times' Dr. Tony Ryan Book Award. A former turf writer, Plattner has published short fiction in literary journals, such as The Paris Review, Epoch, Shenandoah and Northwest Review. He lives in Atlanta.
"A Marriage of Convenience" (ISBN 978-1-886157-78-1) is 180 pages, and the retail price is $15.95.
BkMk Press books are available through Baker & Taylor, Ingram Book Company, SPD and directly through BkMk Press. For more information, contact Ben Furnish, managing editor of BkMk Press, at email@example.com or (816) 235-2558.

|Program Description
The setting is -- you guessed it -- a Monopoly board, with Mr. Monopoly as the host. Players choose from traditional Monopoly tokens (like the top hat, racecar, and even the thimble that no one ever seemed to want as their play piece), select their starting bankroll, and are then sent to the main Monopoly board screen -- the Casino Floor. Players choose their game from the different gaming tables and machines available.
The main game choices are: roulette, craps, video poker, money wheel, pai gow poker, keno, blackjack, slot machines (including Chairman of the Board, Once Around, and Reel Estate), and poker. There are variations on the traditional games available. For example, Roulette includes a standard and Monopoly version. In the Monopoly variation, the numbers on the betting layout are replaced by properties found on the Monopoly gameboard.
Network play is an option, and can be brought about through the free MSN Gaming Zone service.
The Monopoly theme is fun -- you can even get sent to jail, though you won't collect $200! Most casino simulations are designed with true gambling fans in mind, with very little entertainment beyond the games themselves. Monopoly Casino has enhanced entertainment value with its animations and themes, and never comes across in an overpowering or excessive way. The games are as addictive as one would expect from Vegas-style gambling simulations.
|Features 2 new games
|Play traditional casino games such as slots, poker, blackjack, and keno
|More than 180 variations of classic games
|Includes Reel Estate, Roll and Win, Once Around, and Advance to Boardwalk
|Tips and hints for the games
|System Requirements

In Reply to: how many of you have mixed tube preamps & SS amps? posted by el cheapo on June 13, 2002 at 16:09:31:
I never liked the 500C, actually I don't think any of the Fisher gear ever did it for me. I like the JBL S-38 so you won't get a bashing there. I use Infinity Ren 90, Adcom 5500, Creek OBH-12 and Rega Planet. I have had most of the Adcoms and the 5500 is way best IMHO. Soon to add another 5500 and an active x-over. My Aronov YM-100 amp is getting an overhaul and can't wait to get it back in. Doesn't have the headroom like the Adcom, but power isn't all.
Follow Ups:
what didn't you like about the 500c? i think its pretty sweet. (after i had it fixed up by a tech anyway) but i don't have a lot of experience with different types of equipment. i've only been at this for about a year, and i don't tons of money to throw around. i used to have a 5400, but sold it to buy my outlaw receiver. i've heard people say the 500 series were much better than the newer 5000 series. i'm wondering what tubes would sound like in front of one those monsters.
The Fisher stuff is better than most of the stuff out there, especially after being rebuilt. Is there better stuff out there? I am sure there is, but it could be a case of diminishing returns. The whole idea is to get each component as musical as you can. Each part doesn't have to belong to any specific religion.
My first Adcom was a GFA-1 and I think the Thriller album was #1 on the charts. Alot of the 555 words are from the past also. The 5500 is a much cleaner sounding amp.
Look for an NAD 2400 amp (or 3400 integrated) over the Adcom 545. The NAD has a much better sound and plenty to drive your JBL's. Tubed preamps with a gain stage can work well with those SS amps. Finding the match is the key, and what others say about a certain component has zero meaning to what it does for you. The Fisher always seemed attenuated and thin. Like they are trying to push through a pipe that is too small. Just remember that what you feed it (and how much) upstream has a large affect to what hits the rest downstream.
