Look up the word gadget in the Merriam-Webster dictionary and you'll see a definition that's not very flattering: "a device with a practical use but often thought of as a novelty."
A novelty? Is that how we look at consumer technology?
Well, yes. And maybe with good cause. When a new iPad makes the one released eight months earlier look old and tired, consumers have reason to frown at how rapidly their prized gadget becomes second best – or worse, redundant. But take heart, Christmas shoppers, there are consumer electronics devices you can buy this holiday season that last for longer than a year or two. Here is a look at eight devices you can feel perfectly comfortable spending money on because they'll last for years and won't go out of vogue any time soon.
Apple iPod Shuffle
There's nothing in the way of music players that's more straightforward than iPod Shuffle. Now in its fifth generation, the Shuffle is Apple's least expensive and simplest music player. Originally released in 2005, the Shuffle is wafer thin and light, clips to clothing and is designed for one thing – listening to tunes on the go. There's no LCD display, it can't access the Internet and has no WiFi, Bluetooth or FM radio. And it has not changed much in form or functionality in its seven-year lifespan. Available in seven colours, the 2-gigabyte Shuffle has a capacity of about 200 songs, which are loaded onto the device via iTunes on a computer. That's plenty of music for a jog, bike ride or workout – activities well-suited to the Shuffle. At $50, it's very affordable – maybe not stocking-stuffer affordable but certainly casual-gift affordable – and can last for years. The price means anyone already with a music-playing mobile device won't feel like they're squandering their money by picking one up as a backup.
Digital SLR cameras
The single-lens reflex (SLR) camera was a near-perfect consumer electronic device. You could buy one in 1972 and use it happily for two decades. You could buy a new lens, and it would fit; film cartridges never changed size and shape, compelling you to buy a new camera, and you never felt like advancements such as the introduction of auto focus could produce vastly better images. The arrival of digital SLRs changed the shelf life of the device primarily because, at least early on, each new model year would pack new features or upgrades as to make the previous generations' obsolete. Most recently, the biggest change in DSLRs has been the ability to shoot high-definition video. We're getting to a point in the DSLR development curve where a purchase of an entry-level camera today won't be trumped by next year's model. Two good examples are the Canon EOS Rebel T4i and Nikon D3200, both of which start at around $750. (Last year's models – the Canon T3i and Nikon D3100 – are still in stores and start around $500). The T4i and 3200 standard kits come with an 18- to 55-millimetre lens; additional lenses, mounted flashes and other accessories are extra.
Bose Acoustic Wave systems
One piece of consumer electronics we generally buy and use for years is a stereo. And we're not including iPod docks in here – already you need a range of adapters to make sure newer iPods and iPads fit onto docks released barely two years ago. One home stereo system that boasts lasting quality and excellent acoustics is the Bose Wave System series of tabletop stereos. There's nothing better for kitchens, cottages or living rooms. The line was launched in 1984 and has expanded to include a series of elegant stereos that are easy to use, sound fantastic and last for years. There are three models of Bose Wave systems, two of which are geared for smaller rooms and one that's got big enough sound to fill the living room or haul outside for a backyard barbecue. Depending on the system, they play a mix of CDs, Internet radio and AM/FM radio, but all can connect to mobile devices via Bluetooth to stream custom MP3 playlists. The three models range in price from $280 to $1,400, and there is a host of Wave accessories that consumers can use to add features, including multi-CD changers, iPod/iPhone docks or extra remote controls.

It is common knowledge by now that the Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan was very upset on Farah Khan that she decided to cast Akshay Kumar in the movie 'Tees Maar Khan' and not him. He was very disappointed for this fact and did not want to have anything more with Farah, even though the two were very close friends.
It seems that the two have not managed to get pasted this, fact very clear at the recent Police Mela in Andheri, were the cast of 'Tess Maar Khan' and Farah Khan were present to promote their latest production. Just as the director Farah was talking in front if the audience, SRK made his entrance surrounded by his eight bodyguards.
At that moment the audience started looking towards him and they were not paying that much attention to Farah Khan anymore. This fact was very disturbing to the well liked Bollywood director who seemed to be quite annoyed that she did no longer have the full attention of the people present at the event.

The oceans cover 71% of the earth's surface and three-quarters of the world's population live on or near the oceans shores. For a long time the deepest parts of the oceans were thought not to contain any substantial life form; however, we now know that they have a biological diversity that is infinitely richer than that of the land.
Man lives from the sea, but at the same time subjects it to enormous pressure. Pollution, either from sources on land or linked to the exploitation of the sea's resources, is seriously affecting the quality of both the water and its environment. In order to preserve the quality of the sea's resources, fisheries management policies must take into account not only economic, biological and environmental aspects of this problem, but also its social aspects.
Marine science and technology research on, for example, fisheries and fish stocks, biodiversity, the ocean's moderation of the greenhouse effect, undersea exploration and coastal management, all play a significant role in the formulation of policies for long-term management of the sea's biological resources.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recommends the creation of a European maritime agency which would develop a coherent global policy which takes into account the ocean's many functions and uses. Oceans explores all of these ideas, reviews all the legal instruments linked to the exploitation of the oceans, and details the new trends in the international law of the sea – the sea "which belongs to no one".

Makers of fraudulent breast implants on trial in France
By Jean-François Rosnoblet
MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - Five French executives went on trial on Wednesday to jeers from victims for supplying women with hundreds of thousands of substandard breast implants and triggering a global health scare.
More than 300,000 women around the world were fitted over a decade with implants from the French company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP), and the trial includes 5,000 civil plaintiffs and 300 lawyers.
PIP's founder and long-time chief executive, 73-year-old Jean-Claude Mas, has admitted filling the implants with an unapproved homemade recipe made of industrial-grade silicone gel.
Mas and four PIP executives, including the chief financial officer, are charged with aggravated fraud and risk maximum prison terms of five years each, plus fines, for selling the implants around the world from 2001 to 2010, when they were ordered off the market.
Mas himself was in court an hour before the start of proceedings, which were mostly taken up with opening day legal arguments. "He bears the enormous weight of this trial on his shoulders," Mas's lawyer Yves Haddad said.
A vast exhibition building close to PIP's former premises has been set up as a makeshift courtroom to accommodate the huge crowds expected for the trial, due to last until mid-May.
Mas arrived at court under police escort and faced a crush of cameras as the trial began in the southern city of Marseille.
"Bastard!" shouted someone in the audience of some 300 victims as Mas appeared live on a giant video screen. Continued...

Dive watch fanatic since 1980

I've been looking for a bracelet to mate up with my blasted MkII Sea Fighter to little success. I received the watch from MkII with a generic stiff rubber strap...they were out of their nice soft ribbed strap at the time. I've never liked it much, but yesterday I slipped on the metal keeper from the even worse Eco-Zilla rubber strap and it did improve the looks, if not the comfort.
I do seem to remember somebody mentioning a bracelet that's now available from MkII, but I cant seem to find any info on it. Failing that, now I'm thinking that this Isofrane strap may be the way to go.
I've never seen or handled one, and know nothing about the history other than what I've read here. I hope it's really as comfortable as some here claim.

I was lucky enough to attend a GTG last night and met an awesome dive watch collector who had an Isofrane prototype and all I can say is that this strap is incredible. It was comfortable and well made. I was afraid it might be too long for my 6 1/2 inch wrist and though it was long it worked. It was also mounted on a Kobold AD which is a big watch and still worked. I was on the fence prior to trying it due to the length, but this is a must have strap.
like everyone else... still waiting... and waiting... and waiting...

Bugzilla – Bug 73
sr_si_string_u64() doesn't handle all cases
Last modified: 2013-08-07 16:43:26 CEST
sr_si_string_u64() and thus also sr_samplerate_string() and other functions that use it don't handle all possible input correctly.
For example, sr_samplerate_string(1234) correctly yields "1.234 kHz", but sr_samplerate_string(1004) yields "1.4 kHz" instead of "1.004 kHz".
Created attachment 36 [details]
Patch to format decimals correctly in sr_si_string_u64()
The patch is very simple and achieves a string which at least formats a correct value. Maybe more work to strip trailing decimal 0:s could be added on top, should that be desirable.
Peter's patch still fails tests, as some of test cases expected no trailing zeroes. So, I went to implement trimming them, and turned out that tests are actually inconsistent and some expect trailing zeroes, and some don't. So, I had to patch testcases too after all.
New patch added, it supersedes Peter's.
Created attachment 37 [details]
This patch fixes missing leading zeroes, trims trailing, and makes sure tests are consistent re: trailing zeroes.
Created attachment 38 [details]
Fix sr_si_string_u64() test cases.
Created attachment 39 [details]
Format decimals correctly in sr_si_string_u64()
Yesterday there was no opinion on trailing zeros so I went for the simplest possible patch.
Today there was consensus to drop trailing zeros, but I didn't like Paul's implementation of formatting so I implemented the formatting in a different way.
Paul's commit to fix the test cases should be applied first!
The latest attached files don't have any patch hunks in them.
Created attachment 40 [details]
Fix sr_si_string_u64() test cases. from Paul's patch
Created attachment 41 [details]
Format decimals correctly in sr_si_string_u64()
Sorry about that! I've fixed the attachments now.
Thanks guys, fixed in ba253f2bb97b7a69ad8b486f411d8d81d33792a4 and 094e6b815972240fbc210f8c5ef2eaa8c989fbc0.

Trend Micro's Wilson Lau on Using SaaS Data Integration to Manage E-mail
Deploying 5 million e-mails a month to North American consumers would not only be difficult, it would be impossible without help from its software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider, says anti-virus Internet security software company Trend Micro. In fact, using an SaaS approach helped Trend Micro create its e-mail strategy a couple years ago, says Wilson Lau, the online marketing manager for the Japanese company with a Cupertino, Calif., home base in the U.S.
A few months away from adopting a new product from San Bruno, Calif.-based Responsys, the on-demand e-mail and marketing automation solutions provider Trend Micro hired about five years ago, Lau explains why SaaS is a good fit for his company. (Trend Micro already uses Responsys Interact, the campaign management platform, and plans to add on the new product, Responsys Interact Connect, another data integration tool that will allow Trend Micro to manage more of its own data.)
Target Marketing: What measurable results has Trend Micro seen from using SaaS data integration during the past two years?
Wilson Lau: It's huge. … Before we had done that integration, we didn't have any e-mail campaigns for consumers. … If we wanted to launch an e-mail, we pretty much needed to manually pull the data and manually upload it to Responsys. And because of the volume of the consumer business, I don't know if it's technically possible to do it manually. And also, even if we can do that, send out an e-mail blast, we won't be able to do the timing and the data and subscription cycle-driven e-mail messages like we're doing today. … We get new customers every day, and existing customers may renew the product so that their subscription … will change. …
TM: How does Trend Micro manage e-mail campaigns via the SaaS data integration tool?
WL: … All the campaigns make use of our customer data. And the customer data is initially created and maintained in our in-house database. So in the equation we created a couple years ago, [the SaaS tool] allows us to push the customer data and send updates to Responsys every day so that Responsys, inside the Interact platform … has almost an exact copy of our customer data. And with the campaign, and with all the accessibility, like data analysis and [the] extraction tool within the Interact platform, we are able to slice and dice and pick up just one tiny piece of customer information that we need for each particular campaign. So that we can send out very targeted e-mail at a predecided schedule and time to the customers.

Paintball Co2 Injection DIY Setup with Tons of Photos
Updated Re-write. 2/4/2011
I found a cheap way to use Paintball Co2 Tank for injecting Co2 into planted aquariums. Prices varies depending on different Brands of products that you purchase. I preferred to get parts brand new to avoid any problem down the line. This setup can cost from $30 dollars to $80 dollars + for a working unit. It all depends on what you want to do and add on to it. But it's easily obtainable with $30 dollars to rig up.
In order to have this setup rig up and working. You will need the following items.
- 3.5 oz to 24 oz Paintball Co2 Tank filled $25 and under.
- Paintball Co2 ASA On/Off Valve 2 Threads (Gauge, Needle Valve inputs) $10 - $60 depending on brand.
- Paintball Co2 Gauge - $5 - $10 depending on brand.
- Needle Valves (You have several options to choose from) $10 - $20
* Watts A-41 LF 1/8'' x 1/4'' Compression (Homedepot or Lowes)
* Watts A-40 LF 1/8'' x 1/4'' Compression (Homedepot or Lowes)
* Swagelok Needle Valve 1/8'' x 1/8'' Compression (Ebay)
* My Needle Valve1/8'' x 1/4'' (Ask me if interested) (PM Me)
- Co2 Tubing (Part Number SVEB10 sold at Homedepot 10 feet is $2.14)
- Teflon Tape (Homedepot or Lowes/Craft Stores .50 cent - $1.00)
- Check Valve (Aquarium store $1)
- Bubble Counter Optional (Online store prices varies)
- Drop Checker Optional (Online store prices varies)
- A way to diffuse Co2 into your tank whether through a ceramic glass diffuser, hang on filter, canister filter, chop stick, power head, reactor. Prices varies from Free to whatever
Your parts will be similar to the photos below.
It's basically pretty simple. A basic guide.
- Make sure Paintball Co2 is Filled
- Teflon Tape Gauge Thread and screw it into any side of the ASA On/Off Valve. Use a wrench to further tighten it.
- Prepare your Needle Valve's both side threads with Telfon Tape.
- Slide Co2 tubing through the Needle Valve's output Nut, then do the same to through the Compression Sleeve.
- Tighten Needle Valve's output Nut onto the Needle Valve. Use a wrench to further tighten it.
- Screw on Needle Valve into the ASA On/Off Valve. Use a wrench to further tighten it.
- Twist the Top Knob on the ASA On/Off Valve counter clockwise to open the Pin.
- Screw ASA On/Off Valve onto the Paintball Co2 Tank. Hand tighten only.
- Make sure your Needle Valve is Closed fully.
- Twist the Top Knob on the ASA On/Off Valve clockwise to close the Pin.
- If Gauge reads 800-850 PSI, Co2 Gas has entered the ASA On/Off Valve Chamber.
- SLIGHTLY open the Needle Valve "T" Arm.
- Dump the entire Paintball Co2 Tank with the ASA On/Off Valve into a 10gallon fish tank or 5 gallon bucket. Check for leaks. Any bubble forms will result in leakage. Trace your installation steps again.
- If no leak is present, hook the end of the Co2 Tubing to desire way to diffusing the Co2 gas and you're good to go!
There are option parts such as Bubble Counter and Check Valves to be hooked up along the Co2 Tubing line. That should be common sense.
Basic Step for Installing Co2 Tubing onto Needle Valve.
Overall Setup Installation once said and done.
Paintball Co2 Tank
Paintball Co2 On and Off Valve 2 threaded inputs
Paintball Co2 Gauge (Wrap thread with Teflon tape to prevent leaks)
Homedepot Needle Valve (Wrap therad with Teftlon tape to prevent leaks)
One the Needle Valve, one thread goes into the On and Off Valve, and the other one has a coupler that will crimp onto a Co2 tubing hose. Which will be the path of your Co2 line going straight to your tank. Make sure you have this Co2 tubing connected as well.
Once everything is thread tight, making sure the upper needle valve of the On and Off Valve is fully counter clockwise opened, attach it onto the Co2 tank of your choice. Closed the upper needle valve by turning it clockwise to release Co2 from the Paintball Tank. Make sure your Needle Valve is closed all the way. Your gauge should bounce straight up to 800PSI at most.
Upper Valve Closed. 0 PSI
Upper Valve Opened. 800 PSI
Test the On and Off Valve for leaks by aiming the Paintball tank with everything attached up side down into a bucket of water. If there's any bubbles coming from the threaded slots, recheck your teflon tape and tightness.
Once there's no leak, everything should be a straight forward from there. Attach the end of the Co2 tubing to a Diffuser and your good to go. Adjust bubbles from 2bps to 4bps.
A regular 24oz Paintball Co2 Tank at about 2bps will last a good 4-6 months. When refilling Co2 tank, just close your Needle Valve, Open up the upper valve on the On and Off Valve with will block off the Co2 Tank's outlet pressure. Then go ahead and twist off the On and Off Valve itself and just bring the Co2 Tank to your local Co2 Paintball store and have it refill. It only cost $4.00 to refill a 24oz Paintball tank.
Been using 3 of these units on 3 different tanks and have had no problems. You can also get away without using a Gauge, Save yourself the extra few bucks. Fully filled Co2 Tank is about 1.4 lbs. I used one without a Gauge and it works the same. Just keep the Hex bolt in the Gauge slot closed so that way a Gauge is not needed. All the parts can be bought locally at your local Paintball sport stores and Homedepot or Lowes.
Hope that helps!
Additional informations for easy lookup.
The O rings are easily replacecable. It's like .58 cents per 3-6 O rings. Part number at Lowes is BrassCraft # 0533. The size is 1/4"ID x 3/8"OD x 1/16" Wall Thickness.
At 1bps on a 24 oz PB tank. You can get 5-6 months.
At 2bps on a 24 oz PB tank. You can get 4-5 months.
At 3bps on a 24 oz PB tank. You can get 2-3 months.
At 4-5 bps on a 24 oz PB tank, You can get 1.5-2 months
At 6-8 bps on a 24 oz PB tank, You're looking at 1 month before refill.
With g33tar permissions, the Option #3 setup attached to a Super Diffuser/Atomic Diffuser in great working results!

"I ordered these for my daughter to give to her friends. They are adorable and the perfect size. I like that they don't have a "to:" line, so she can pass them out without having to fill in specific names first. One will make a cute keepsake for me too."
"This card was obviously perfect for my 5yo son, the one who loves to play at being a chivalrous knight, right down to calling Mama "my lady." Your Sir Adorable or Prince Charming, the one who kisses the girls or is there to play groom when they want to play wedding, will love a card that is sweetly romantic while still being kid-friendly--and BOY-friendly."
"This was the perfect card for my 6-year-old. She loves the hearts, but feels comfortable giving this card to every kid in her class."
"I mailed these out inside of a larger envelope due to the small size of the card, and people loved them. Many commented that the small size made it even more cute because it was different. Very impressed with the quality of the product and will definitely order something again. Highly recommended."

I had it all sorted....definitely going for the 30D 'S' Premium Luxury come ordering time BUT...
Just been compiling my 'latest' ideal spec on the Jaguar site configurator and decided out of curiosity to also do a similar compilation re the 3.0D 'S' Portfolio model which I had always thought to be out of my financial reach hence my opting for the PL.
I then accessed the Drive The Deal discount site and was totally astonished that the total additional cost of the Portfolio over the PL, with my selected spec, was only £441.90! re £41,442.51 for the Portfolio and £41,000.61 for the PL due to the salient fact that many of the extras that I had selected on the PL were standard kit on the Portfolio notwithstanding that I had not even selected the B & W sound system at £1140 nor the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System at £400 both of which are standard on the Portfolio so therefore the Portfolio is even better value.
Be aware before you sign on the dotted line!


text: CLEVELAND, March 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $426 million of its common stock. KeyCorp's Board will consider a dividend increase at its regular May meeting. In connection with the 2013 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review of bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve has reviewed Key's capital plan and notified the Company that it does not object to the capital plan. Key's capital plan, which was approved by its Board of Directors prior to submission, requested authority to increase its quarterly common stock dividend from $0.05 per share up to $0.055 per share, effective in the second quarter of 2013. Key's Board of Directors will consider the potential dividend increase at its regular May meeting. In addition, as previously announced on February 21, 2013, Key intends to file an updated capital plan with the Federal Reserve seeking to use the gain realized upon closing of the sale of Victory Capital Management and its broker dealer affiliate Victory Capital Advisers to repurchase shares of its common stock. The sale is expected to close during the third quarter. "Today's actions are consistent with our capital priorities and demonstrate the Board's ongoing commitment to return capital to our shareholders," said Beth E. Mooney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Key remains one of the best capitalized banks in its peer group, with a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 11.36%, at December 31, 2012. By focusing on our core relationship banking model, we continue to grow revenue, strengthen our balance sheet, become more efficient and maintain peer-leading capital levels. We have made a commitment to our shareholders and delivering on that commitment continues to be a priority for Key." Key intends to execute the repurchase of its common stock through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company anticipates completing the common stock repurchases by the end of the first quarter of 2014. The reacquired shares will be held as treasury shares and may be reissued for various corporate purposes.

The controversy may have instigated a landmark rule change and ended in a record fine but Carlos Tevez's time at West Ham still leaves a bitter taste for Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore.
Tevez and Javier Mascherano arrived at Upton Park (above) in August 2006 in a deal that was subsequently found to have breached regulation U18, which prohibits a club from entering into an agreement that gives a third party influence on the performance of the team.
The contracts allowed Media Sport Investment, the company formerly run by Iranian-born businessman Kia Joorabchian, to move Tevez and Mascherano to another club with West Ham receiving only a nominal fee but "no right of objection".
The Hammers were found to have directly lied to the Premier League about this third-party involvement and pleaded guilty on both counts before an independent commission.
In April 2007, the club were fined £5.5million but avoided a points deduction. Tevez scored seven goals in 10 matches including the winner at Manchester United on the final day of the season to avoid relegation.
"It is quite simple — you are completely undone by an act of bad faith," Scudamore told Bloomberg today.
"If a club, through its executives, chooses to lie straight to your face, there is a great deal of damage that can be done from that. Ultimately, the Tevez saga goes down to people not being honest. With any regularity body, if people are not honest there is very little you can do about it and that is why the whole thing unravelled.
"It ranks up there as the number one act of bad faith that any club has ever done towards me during my time here. After that, it was dealt with under our rule book and the rest is history."
There were many who felt the sanctions did not go far enough, chiefly those connected with Sheffield United, who were relegated as a result of Tevez's heroics. The Blades went down on goal difference with then manager Neil Warnock later claiming he "felt let down by the Premier League".
The independent three-man panel decided against a points deduction — which would have relegated West Ham — as unnecessary given the club's guilty plea and that they were by that stage under new ownership.
The Hammers did, however, agree an £18m compensation deal with United and will make the last payment of £6m this summer.
The Premier League subsequently outlawed third-party ownership in 2008 and have lobbied for UEFA to tighten regulations across Europe.
Scudamore added: "When you consider what certain Football Associations get fined for racist abuse in Europe, £5.5m is a huge fine. Our rules say that if you break them then a commission hears the case and decides. We are glad English football has stopped these transactions happening."

Thank you cn90! You are so wonderful!
I wish I had this parking brake DIY two years ago when I gave up on replacing my parking brake shoes for lack of a DIY! The Bentleys were useless for me for the parking brake - and there wasn't a DIY that I could find - so I left them alone.
Nowhere does it even say which direction of the star wheel does what (you did! Thanks). It's not obvious which direction does what until you've moved the star adjuster wheel a LOT of clicks and by then, you might hopelessly have misadjusted them (ask me how I know); so, precise details like those you put in your DIY are fantastic timesavers!
Your DIY above will help everyone!
One question I have
left over from a rear wheel brake replacement
was the thickness measurement wear limit for the parking brake shoes.
I realize your brakes weren't holding so you knew to replace them; but for me, I was wondering if mine were getting close to the wear limit. But I couldn't find the wear limit anywhere (surprisingly).
Does anyone have a figure for the parking brake shoes wear limit?

I have been using Kata bags for a while now. To haul my lighting gear, I was using the Kata OC-88. However, I found that it wasn't quite long enough to fit light stands or a portable backdrop. So, my photographer-husband, Andy Dunaway, did some research and found a good fit for me - the Kata OC-97. It's long enough to fit two of my Manfrotto Stacker Light Stands, an Elinchrom Rotalux softbox, an Elinchrom Quadra Ranger pro set, some Lastolite Tri-grips, five Nikon SB-900's and more.

Came THIS close to going to have my hair trimmed!
I had an appointment set up for tomorrow, but I totally got cold feet and cancelled it. I decided to go a bit longer before I have anything cleaned up, as I don't want to sacrifice any length that I now have(back of hair now at shoulder-length, front pieces(excluding bangs - those I'm keeping as with my mixed textured hair I look better with bangs than without, to hide my forehead lines)now in between jaw and shoulder-length. It's taking so-o long to get past this awkward length - and funky ends! The latter was why I had scheduled a haircut for tomorrow, and the former is why I finally cancelled it. If I get it even trimmed now, its like going two steps forward and three steps back, so to speak. Meanwhile, my husband thinks my hair doesn't need a trim yet, and he is very esthetically-oriented and appreciates feminine beauty(He's surely a keeper, after 23 years!).
Teeth-gritting on hair growing continues...
congraz on resisting the temptation!!

text: SALFORD, England, Aug. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Salford Royal has announced Allscripts as the provider of its new Electronic Patient Record (EPR) System. The Trust has used its current EPR system, iSoft Clinical Manager (iCM) for 10 years, allowing the organisation to have a patient-centric electronic record including prescriptions, test results and patient assessment notes. Approximately one million patient records are held on the secure system, which has 7,000 users including 160 GPs across 55 surgeries in Salford. In moving to the new system the Trust will migrate approximately 14 million clinical letters and around 100 million diagnostic results. Having derived maximum benefit from their current system, Salford Royal started the procurement process for a new system last year. The organisation's Trust Board has now given the go ahead for the implementation of Allscripts' Sunrise Clinical Manager (SCM). Taking advantage of features offered by SCM will enable the Trust to increase the reliability and consistency of care and promote evidence based practice supporting an improved patient experience and outcome. The resulting enhanced safety and efficiency all contribute to the Trust's strategic objectives around safety and quality. Salford Royal Consultant Physician Dr Bob Young said: "The new system will create a better and safer experience for patients who can be confident their health records are being held in one central, secure location, which can be accessed by health professionals involved in all stages of the patient's care. "Departments which have previously been reliant on paper will be able to use the system. For example, adding Accident and Emergency (A&E) means clinicians in this department will electronically log and track decisions on patient care, manage bed capacity and waiting times. "The new system will also be compatible for both hospital and community staff, for example, health visitors and district nursing teams, which is crucial to Salford Royal in its new role as both a provider of acute and community services."

In the nascent days before Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network, console games had virtually no "indie scene." Because of a variety of obstacles to overcome—budgets, distribution, and marketing to name a few—the quirky, small budget games didn't have a fighting chance to make a big splash in the console market. The closest thing the video game industry has seen in recent years to an "indie" making it big, the Good Will Hunting or Blair Witch Project of games, is Katamari Damacy.
In a pre-Nintendo Wii age where the emphasis in game development was focused squarely on eye-popping graphics, complex controls, billions of customizable options, and in-depth stories, an obtuse Manga-ish budget title that involved rolling a cornucopia of objects into a giant ball of trash seemed unlikely competition for the Grand Theft Auto and Madden Footballs of the world. Yet, the oddly named Katamari Damacy (which literally means "spirit clump" in Japanese) became a verified sleeper hit for the Playstation 2 in 2004. The success of Katamari was a good story for the game industry because it proved that a lo-fi offbeat title could be more fun and successful than many of the big flashy triple-A titles.
Beautiful Katamari
(Namco Bandai)
US: 15 Oct 2007
Flash forward to 2007, and the once little and charming Katamari is now a full-fledged franchise.
As is the case with many sleeper hits, the charm that once made the original fun and interesting has worn thin now that the second and third sequels have come around. Beautiful Katamari, the franchise's first appearance on the Xbox 360 platform after the sequel We Love Katamari appeared on the PS2 in 2005 and Me and My Katamari appeared earlier this year on PSP, is evidence of this erosion of charm.
You might guess that for its first appearance on a "next-gen" system, Katamari might see a reinvention or reworking of its previous incarnations. Not so. Not only are the gameplay, characters and dialogue basically unchanged, they're worse. Keeping the pattern of plots so ethereal they're almost nonexistant, in Beautiful Katamari, The King of All Cosmos accidentally destroys the solar system because of a particularly well-hit tennis shot that creates a black hole that sucks planets and stars inside of it.
The King + a tennis racket = bad news.
The King then sends his son, the Prince, to Earth to gather enough material with which to reconstruct the galaxy. To gather the stuff, the Prince pushes his katamari (a magical sticky ball) around various locations and tries to make it large enough to serve as a replacement planet. At first, the katamari can only pick up small items such as thumbtacks, candy, and frogs. As it accumulates a shell of objects, its overall size grows, allowing it to pick up increasingly larger items like soccer balls, stereos, dogs, children, trucks, buildings, mountains, sports stadiums, and eventually entire landmasses.
The core mechanics of Katamari are still undeniably fun, but still, it's disappointing that the only real variation Namco made in the game was asking players to collect more of one particular kind of object, like things that are cold or expensive. A level where you have to make a katamari over 10,000 degrees by rolling up warm objects such as toast and baked chicken shows a spark of innovation, but most of the game is old hat. To make matters worse, the katamari is more difficult to control. The spin move, performed by shaking the control sticks in alternating directions, has been rendered nearly useless and everything else isn't quite as sharp. Throw in a wonky camera and a hiccuping frame rate, and Beautiful Katamari has a host of serious problems.
I want to live on the planet made out of those.
Even the game's quirky humor has jumped the proverbial shark. The writers' increasingly self-conscious snarky wackiness has turned the King of the Cosmos into a blathering idiot. He's like an third-person speaking, late-era Robin Williams. This is a problem to the point that the game is nearly ruined by the King's nonstop dialogue, which you'll find yourself rapidly pressing the A button to skip through.
The game's strong points are the graphics, which look crisp and colorful, especially when playing in high-definition, and the music, which harkens back to the original's wonderfully weird Japanese tunes. The billards minigame you play after you fail an objective is also a fun diversion, and the online modes are a nice bonus.
Beautiful Katamari isn't a total waste, it's just a huge disappointment considering it costs twice as much as the original and plays worse. Newcomers to the series may enjoy it, but it's hard to recommend Beautiful Katamari to anyone else.

SUVA – The Solomon Islands on Tuesday said it had rejected a request from Australia to accept asylum seekers as part of Canberra's so-called Pacific solution to deal with refugee boat people.
Solomons Prime Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo said Canberra had approached him about sending asylum seekers for processing but he had dismissed the idea.
"No, we will never consider that. It was informally put to us and I rejected it," he told reporters in Fiji. "I basically said to them, (asylum seekers) have made a choice to go to Australia, they don't make a choice to come to the Solomons."
Under the policy pursued by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, asylum seekers arriving by ship will be processed and settled in far-flung Pacific nations, effectively closing Australia to boat people. Papua New Guinea and Nauru have both agreed to be part of the policy, which aims to defuse the politically sensitive issue of asylum seeker arrivals in Australia ahead of national elections on Sept. 7.

Air Conditioning Preventative Maintenance
Keep Your HVAC System Running at Optimum Efficiency
With most systems being installed in attics or basements and therefore "out of sight, out of mind", it's often easy to neglect necessary maintenance for your air conditioning and heating system. Preventative maintenance is a small price to pay compared to the cost of repairing or replacing a unit that properly maintained would have had a longer life span. Without proper preventative maintenance you can also expect decreased efficiency which results in higher utility costs, inadequate air flow and higher repair costs. Getting your HVAC system checked twice annually is just as important as changing the oil in your car.
This is why we developed our Preventive Maintenance Program to keep your system running at optimum efficiency.

Boris Johnson is expected to make a grab for new powers to raise tax on property and tourism following the publication of a major report next week.
The Mayor wants control of more than £12 billion of revenue — from stamp duty and other sources — to be handed to London with an equivalent reduction in government grant. He is also set to demand that City Hall be allowed to borrow more money to help tackle the capital's housing crisis and boost infrastructure investment.
The recommendations will be made by the London Finance Commission, which was set up by the Mayor last year to explore the potential of greater devolution from the Treasury.
The Standard last year revealed Mr Johnson's plans for Londoners to keep more of the tax revenue they generate to spend on public services. In leaked excerpts of its report, the LFC recommends that council tax, business rates, stamp duty, land tax and capital gains tax should be devolved to the capital.
Nearly a third of the national revenue from stamp duty — an estimated £1.3 billion a year — is raised from sales of properties in London.
The Treasury has previously rejected calls from Mr Johnson to keep more of London's stamp duty but it is thought likely that it will consider giving him greater borrowing powers.
The report by the cross-party LFC, chaired by local government expert Tony Travers, does not specifically favour giving City Hall income tax raising powers.
However, it does suggest it should be able to raise smaller revenues, including through a tourism tax. Under the plans, City Hall would also be responsible for setting council tax rate revaluations, banding and discounts.
The report said: "The yields from these taxes would be offset by corresponding reductions in central government grant to London."
It recommended that all business rates — which are bringing in £3.2 billion in 2013-14 — should be devolved with business given a strong say in setting levels.
The LFC argued that the capital has historically low levels of fiscal autonomy — especially when compared with Scotland — and the proposals would increase City Hall's accountability to residents and businesses. It denied that it was trying to turn London into a city state.
The capital's population is likely to rise to 10 million by 2030, leading to a 30 per cent rise in public transport use, and the cost of housing has soared.
The early draft of the report, leaked to the Guardian, suggested that Mr Johnson should push hard for more borrowing powers for infrastructure.
The Treasury has restrictions in place although critics said that the Mayor had extra powers for house-building which he had chosen not to fully use.
The report argued that London, through TfL, had a successful record in raising finance for transport investment such as Cross Rail, High Speed rail and Tube maintenance, but that investment in water, energy and school buildings had not kept pace.
It said: "Borrowing which will be used to promote growth or reduce public expenditure and thus be repaid should be distinguished from other kinds of debt."
The Mayor's total budget for this year is £16.5 billion and his main revenue-raising powers involve setting TfL fares and his share of the council tax.
Mr Travers told the Standard: "There will be much more to come at the [report's] launch next week and what I sincerely hope as chair of the enterprise is that London politicians will get behind the proposals."
A spokesman for Mr Johnson said he would be "studying the recommendations in this report carefully in the coming days".

Familiar Moves
I'm now settling into a quiet holiday routines. Bike rides, slow lunches, walks on the beach and plenty of time to think. Just last week I was complaining to some photographer friends how I was feeling flat, stuck in a rut as it were.
I often find the best way to get out of a rut is, rather than chasing something new or novel, to actually lean into the familiar.
So the past few days, I've been watching the familiar patterns of the clouds and imagining the photos I hope to take on this trip. Being able to retrace the same steps is a bit like rehearsing music. More than just practice makes perfect, it's something closer to improvisation, reconfiguring familiar elements in imaginative ways.
And also, when facing a rut, there's something to be said about just standing your ground. I've taken many of my best photos here so I feel I can trust this place to inspire me again, to throw up photographic opportunities. It's up to me to just wait, be patient, find those moments then do the work to try and make them special.

Gauteng quake: 'Beds were shaking'
07:21 22/08/2014
"Johannesburg - A 4.6 magnitude earthquake hit Johannesburg in the early hours of Friday morning, the US Geological Survey said on its website.
"The quake, which happened around 01:00, is the second in South Africa in less than three weeks.
It occurred 12km west of Orange Farm, a township south of Johannesburg." - SAPA
Many News24 Users woke up frightened and confused. They share their experiences with us:
Deneysville (1:14)
No damage- listened for about 4 minutes how it travelled into the night. - Johan du Toit
I don't know if that anything to do with the quake, but, around 00:45 this morning, I woke with a very loud bang. My heart nearly pounded out my chest, and had slight difficulty falling asleep after that. It was extremely loud! - Pam
At exactly 01:15 this morning my bed shook terribly. I was fast asleep and confused and only realised what must have happened as I got to my senses in the passage of my house. It was quite scary! - Eleanor Patterton
I felt the 1st one around 01:10 which lasted for a very long time and 2 minutes later as I was about to go wake my mom up, the 2nd one hit as but wasn't as bad as the 1st tremor that shook literally everything including me in bed at Lenasia South - Zimi Yekanye

While watching Teen Wolf back to back at round about 01H00 heard a big bang in the hallway, just thought it was the puppies playing and running into the hallway closet and when my husband went to check if they got hurt, there were no puppies playing, they were asleep and we even thought there was someone on the roof because we heard the roof tiles chafing against eacother, guess now we know what the strangeness was, an earthquake. Just couldn't feel it because we were sitting on the living room chairs.

Maccarinelli targets McKenzie rematch, then showdown with WBO champ Cleverly
By James Slater
Former WBO cruiserweight champ Enzo Maccarinelli, boxing as a light-heavyweight, won a stay-busy affair on last night's Wembley card. Stopping Carl Wild with a hard body shot in the 6th and final round, Maccarinelli improved to 36-6(28). The 32-year-old then called for a big all-Welsh showdown with reigning WBO 175-pound ruler Nathan Cleverly, who won a wide 12-round decision over Robin Krasniqi in last night's main event.
Maccarinelli, who was to have fought Ovill McKenzie (who pulled out injured) in a return of the controversial 2nd-round TKO stoppage loss he suffered last November, told Wales Online that he still wants to avenge what he and many others feel was a very premature stoppage – before taking on the unbeaten Cleverly.
"If I can get McKenzie out of the way and make a statement in that fight, then I'm sure the Welsh public would want to see it," Maccarinelli said of his hoped for fight with Cleverly.
"Nathan's an old team-mate, and I'm chuffed with what he's doing. I haven't got a problem with him, I've got a problem with his dad (father/trainer Vince Cleverly) who doesn't like me. I don't know if that rubs off on Nathan but, let's be honest, everyone knows I will give him a harder fight than he's ever had before."
That final statement is not likely to be one Cleverly or his fans will agree with, still Macacrinelli perhaps cannot be blamed for wanting one more big fight before his exciting, up and down career finally comes to a close.
But will Cleverly be interested in facing Maccarinelli, even if Enzo can avenge that loss to McKenzie?

Khaled Amayrch, writing from the West Bank for al-Ahram argues, "it is imperative that Fatah and Hamas reach an accord sooner or later to prevent further infighting." Israel missiles have been blasting the homes of Hamas leaders resulting in the death of six members of the family of Khalil Al-Hayya, a Palestinian lawmaker who represent Hamas.
The Qassam missiles launched by Hamas are notoriously inaccurate and, although they make a lot of noise, are regarded by most Palestinians as a psychological weapon that creates anxiety among the people of Israel. The Qassam attack has proved to be enormously successful since it has resulted in a formidable response by Israel, which only serves the purpose of forcing Hamas and Fatah to unite. Bombs, whether or not they actually kill, create enormous anxiety among people and foster a climate of fear. Amayrch is correct in pointing out that Israel attacks have created enormous anxiety and fear within the Palestinian population. He, together with other Palestinians, believe there are other reasons for this latest Israel attack:
"There is no doubt that the fundamental motivation behind the latest Israeli incursion into Gaza has far more to do with the Israeli government's desire to compensate for the shortcomings of the Lebanon war and to implement the Winograd Committee's recommendations." The Winograd Report blasted the incompetence of Olmert and the Israeli military. He also notes rumors are circulating among people in Gaza that Fatah and the American government encouraged the Israeli attack to aid Fatah in its fight against Hamas.
Does anyone in the US State Department know anything about the Middle East? There is no doubt Israel never would have launched their attacks without support from the Bush administration. The mere circulation of rumors that Fatah is in cahoots with Israel could destroy the only force in Palestine with which we have any hope of reaching an agreement for peace. Stop the Israel bombing and get to the negotiation table. I realize a critic can argue it is easy for me to write such words when Israel's citizens are being subjected to Qassam bombs. Yes, it is not easy to hold back when attacked, but right now we need a strong Fatah government if there is to be any hope for peace.
Information from Al-Ahram

New percentage body fat prediction equations for Japanese females
Kagawa, Masaharu, Kuroiwa, Chiharu, Uenishi, Kazuhiro, Mori, Miki, Hills, Andrew P., & Binns, Colin W. (2007) New percentage body fat prediction equations for Japanese females. Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 26(1), pp. 23-29.
View at publisher (open access)
This article is free to read on the publisher's website
Anthropometry is a simple and cost-efficient method for the assessment of body composition. However prediction equations to estimate body composition using anthropometry should be 'population-specific'. Most popular body composition prediction equations for Japanese females were proposed more than 40 years ago and there is some concern regarding their usefulness in Japanese females living today. The aim of this study was to compare percentage body fat (%BF) estimated from anthropometry and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to examine the applicability of commonly used prediction equations in young Japanese females. Body composition of 139 Japanese females aged between 18 and 27 years of age (BMI range: 15.1–29.1 kg/m2) was measured using whole-body DXA (Lunar DPX-LIQ) scans. From anthropometric measurements %BF was estimated using four equations developed from Japanese females. The results showed that the traditionally employed prediction equations for anthropometry significantly (p<0.01) underestimate %BF of young Japanese females and therefore are not valid for the precise estimation of body composition. New %BF prediction equations were proposed from the DXA and anthropometry results. Application of the proposed equations may assist in more accurate assessment of body fatness in Japanese females living today.

Foreclosures Fall in November
Foreclosure activity fell to an eight month low as fewer than 300,000 homes received a foreclosure notice in November. According to the online foreclosure tracking firm RealtyTrac, 262,339 properties received a foreclosure filing last month, a 21 percent drop from October and a 14 percent drop from a year ago. Both of these declines were the largest percent decreases since RealtyTrac began collecting foreclosure date in January of 2005.
But what could be interpreted as good news might actually be due to lenders slowing down the foreclosure process in the wake of investigations into their foreclosure practices.
"While part of the decrease can be attributed to a seasonal drop of 7 to 10 percent that typically occurs in November, fallout from the foreclosure robo-signing controversy forced lenders and servicers to hit the pause button on many foreclosures while they scrambled to revamp their internal procedures and revise or resubmit questionable paperwork," said James J. Saccacio, chief executive officer at RealtyTrac in a press release.
Nevada continued to lead the nation with the highest foreclosure rate, even as foreclosure filings fell 20 percent last month. The state has had the highest rate for 47 months in a row. The Las Vegas metropolitan area recorded the highest foreclosure rate for populations greater than 200,000.
Foreclosure filings in California accounted for more than one in five nationwide. Over 57,000 properties received a foreclosure filing, the highest in the nation. Florida and Michigan posted the second and third highest filing totals.
Locally, foreclosure filings in New Jersey increased just over a percent from October to November, but fell 43 percent from a year ago. In New York, filings dropped 27 percent month-to-month and 37 percent compared to November of last year.
