The ZULU range of GPRS modems are amongst the most advanced and capable modems available today. The range is available as two main versions - with or without GPS. Further options include an upgrade of flash memory to a total of 128Mbit. The ZULU range can be used as a simple modems, or with application software within the GPRS module. But its real strength, for the user, is as a comprehensive computing platform using its ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor connected to the GPRS engine - all in one package. The ZULU design has been extensively tested and represents amazing value as a GPRS connected powerful 32bit computing engine.
The ZULU modems have an ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor as standard, independent of the wireless module, for customers to develop their software on. The ZULU has both USB and RS232 serial ports with 10 GPIO lines as standard. The ZULU is housed in a tough plastic enclosure that is either screw or DIN rail mountable.
The ZULU-G-GPRS is the GPRS version with GPS capability.
The ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor manages the Telit module and is available for the user to program to their custom application. The features of the standard ZULU are as below:
All connections to all interfaces of the modems can be made through the 36 way connector with the exception of the antenna(s) and USB. The ZULU also has a separate Mini USB and RS232 socket, and an RJ12 power socket. The status of the ZULU is shown by three easily viewable LEDs all of which are ultimately programmable to the user's needs.
ARM Cortex M4 32bit Processor
The ZULU is driven by the ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor which has 192KB of RAM and 16Mbit of flash memory for customer use, which is expandable to 128Mbit. The ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor is a popular and well known microcontroller with a considerable amount of code already written for it. The ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor 'Discovery Board' is also a popular development platform and has considerable documentation to help with code development.
The ZULU itself can emulate the 'Discovery Board' and therefore be used in this mode for easy code development by the customer, similar to a standalone Discovery Board. The ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor is a very low power micro and within the ZULU consumes around 50mA when fully loaded and running. Conversely it can be put into deep sleep thereby taking a few microamps. The processor itself is capable of considerable multithreading with a number of layers of software. Most of the above interface attributes of the ZULU are native to the ARM Cortex M4 32bit processor and will be a known quantity to anyone familiar with the STM32 processor family.
Additionally the ZULU has an integral accelerometer and features an ignition line, modem control and reset lines on the RJ12 connector making it very suitable for a vehicle tracking and control unit, with a small amount of microcontroller software design. The 600mA solid state relay is also a standard feature of the ZULU range and is accessible via the 36 way connector. The ZULU series is packaged in a tough blue ABS plastic box that is DIN rail or screw mountable and has dimensions of 134 x 74 x 33mm. In all the ZULU is designed to be your M2M modem and main computing engine in one package using a well understood and very capable microcontroller range that is easy to program with.
The ZULU modem range has been designed for long life and is available in UMTS and GPRS form with LTE coming very shortly - all with the same design and features making it easy for the user to design once, and use the many versions with very little effort.
The ZULU range has a number of accessories available:- JTAG programming cable, OEM power cable, 0.5M and 1M 36way cable and connector with unterminated ends, and 12V wallblock power supply with RJ12 connector.
See ZULU Accessories for the full range of accessory products for the ZULU-G-GPRS including power supply, power cable and interface cables.
Evaluation and Development Board
The ZULU-EVK evaluation and development board is the perfect way of working with the ZULU modems, and developing an application within the ARM Cortex processor. The EVK provides simple and convenient access to the ZULU interfaces through standard D-Sub and modem block connectors.
The ZULU-EVK board also comes complete with a multi region power supply, 36way interface cable, RS232/USB cables, a JTAG programming cable, our Delta 2A GSM antenna and the Mike 3A GPS antenna, providing all the components for a working system - just add your choice of ZULU modem.

I agree with Fan_Creator, It's fun, exciting, and interesting in all aspects. Although development is a bit different, it's just finding good ideas is what takes time.
i´m a full time author and is grate!and wow you've made that much that you've got the invisible paw!
I was just wondering the same thing.
This to me is a creative way to work and build on your skills. Any people from the community who purchase theme appreciate it
This is the first post I read and I was so fascinated!!! One can learn many things from others!! I think that working with envato is a great opportunity. There are many factors that you should see if you're going to work full time, like your: skills (for creating a good product), your local situation (if it is a place where the cost of living is high) or your personal situation (if you're single or father of 5 kids, I don´t think you have much time haha). If you can work doing what you like just do it. You don´t win, if not risk.
Life is to live it once and well
currently i am a full time author, but looking for a full time job as i can't survive with just an online income. a lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B. @least i have E.N.V.A.T.O.
Selling stock fulltime does not appeal to me. I love getting a steady pay cheque (with regular raises), full benefits, and paid holidays/sick days. I have a lot of freedom in my job and I get to work with great people on large, challenging projects. My work office is way nicer than my home office too hah.
I do like the passive income though… Im making about equal amounts through themeforest and adsense. I absolutely need a steady income to support my expensive hobby (horses!)

From The Rule of Life of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist
Chapter Sixteen: Worship
If we become the true worshipers whom the Father seeks, no part of our life is untouched by our worship. It makes our experience of time itself sacred. The offices express the inmost meaning of the times of each day from dawn to nightfall. The weeks are sanctified, beginning with the commemoration of the resurrection on the first day. The liturgical cycle of the year redeems the passage of time by making the months and seasons the means of appropriating again the creating and healing acts of God, reaching its climax in our renewed experience of the life-giving cross and resurrection in Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost.
The Brothers invite you to join them as they enter into the mystery and majesty of the Lord's Passion. Pray with us, journey with us, witness with us, the week that changed the world. Join us in person at the Monastery (schedule below, principal services in bold), if you can. Or join us online, using the links below over the course of the week. We'll be posting sermons and singing each day, as well as Scriptures, prayers, and hymn texts.
The photographs on these pages are of the crucifix which stands behind the High Altar of the Monastery Chapel for most of the year. Dating from the early 17th century and Spanish in origin, the corpus is carved ivory. It was on loan from a private collector to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston from 1917 until 1936, when the owner made it a gift to the Society for its newly completed Chapel.
These images are from an extensive photo essay by artist, poet and friend Marilène Phipps-Kettlewell, of Cambridge, Massachusetts. We are most grateful for her generosity, and we hope you find these arresting images both focus and challenge your prayer.

Campaign marketing is increasingly seen as background music and 'tuned out'. No surprise really that in a world where all brands push 'play' without consulting consumers that the outcome is a cacophony. It's one that consumers increasingly want to tune out, and today they have the tools to do so. From their cultivation of banner blindness , use of browser plugins like Adblock, through to enlisting more-aggressive privacy settings and skipping adverts at 8x speed. They simply don't want your message pushed at them and are taking steps to control the signal-to-noise ratio of useful vs. irrelevant data. Marketing must respond with a new quality in the relationship or risk being ignored.

Tablet and smartphones
The OnLive Universal Controller is most useful for Android tablets and smartphones, because PCs can already use a variety of controllers with OnLive, including the Xbox wireless controller for Windows. And that's cheaper than this one.
Setting-up the controller with a smartphone or tablet is much like setting up any other Bluetooth device. You press the central OnLive button and one of the playback keys together to enter it into pairing mode, then search for it within the Bluetooth menu of your smartphone or tablet. As long as it's compatible, the two will pair up and the controller will automatically start working within the OnLive app. A four-LED display on the front of the pad tells you whether it's setup as controller 1, 2, 3 or 4.
However, compatibility is not as good as we had at first hoped. Most Android Honeycomb devices will work just fine, including some not listed in in the official compatibility list. But anything earlier than Honeycomb won't work. We tried the controller with a number of 2.x Android phones, and while they would pair up well enough, they wouldn't actually connect.
You really need an Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 device for the Universal OnLive Controller to work properly. In 12 months, this won't be such an issue, but it all-but decimates its usefulness with smartphones at present.
It may be argued that OnLive is of limited use on the 3-4in screen of phones, but not working with Android 2.x also rules-out using many tablets that would partner-up well with the service. Owners of the original Samsung Galaxy Tab, HTC Flyer, Archos 101 and other budget tabs should take note. The OnLive app is yet to be approved on iOS, so iPhones and iPads are still out in the cold. Also, while the controller has a rumble function, none of the games we tested on-tablet made use of it.
To talk to desktop PCs without Bluetooth built-in, OnLive supplies a USB dongle with the Universal Wireless Controller. The sync process is remarkably similar to using standard Bluetooth, though.
You plug the dongle into the computer, press the Onlive and playback buttons on the controller to enter pairing model, then press the sync button on the dongle to get that to do the same. Simple.
In Use
In testing with both tablet and PCs, we didn't notice any interference caused by Wi-Fi, which uses the same 2.4GHz bandwidth as Bluetooth. However, using a traditional gamepad like this does highlight the slight lag inherent in OnLive. How much it intrudes depends on the quality of your connection and the type of game you're playing.
In our full OnLive review, we used DiRT 3 as a benchmark game - as something very unforgiving of lag and drops in video quality. Here, the lag was intrusive and made us long for a PS3 and game disc. But none of this is the Universal Controller's fault, and slower-paced games fared just fine. We noticed no drop-outs in the connection between our test tablet and the controller.
There's no getting around it - at £40, the OnLive Universal Controller is not cheap. It's as expensive as the Sony PS3 Sixaxis pad and almost twice the price of an Xbox 360 wireless controller. Perhaps more notably, it's not all that much cheaper than an OnLive MicroConsole, which comes with its own - if different, and less flexible - wireless controller.
However, this accessory is what brings OnLive to life for its more dynamic, and useful, purposes. For playing in hotel rooms on a tablet, it beats using touchscreen controls hands-down, and you do get the dongle included too. The economies of scale rule is taking an effect here too - as OnLive is producing controllers on a much smaller scale than Microsoft, they're naturally going to be more expensive to produce per unit.
For OnLive fans who want to take their streaming experience to the next level, the Universal Wireless Controller is an essential buy. But it's not without significant problems. The lack of Android 2.x may not be entirely OnLive's fault - it's related to how the OS treats the Bluetooth stack - but ensures that this controller isn't quite as universal as it might at first appear.
Excellent build quality and ergonomics make the OnLive Universal Controller the only way to play if you want to stream console games to your Android tablet. However, it's not cheap, lacks support for almost all Android phones at present, and highlights the lag of Onlive's streaming with faster-paced games.

The detention of David Miranda under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000.has saturated news headlines as an abuse of the draconian stop-and-search powers at ports and airports. Welcome to the real word.
Last year police carried out 1.2 million such examinations of passengers that are disproportionately targeted against Muslims but lead to so few arrests.
Unlike other stop-and-search powers, the use of Schedule 7 does not require an officer to have a "reasonable suspicion" and The Muslim News has been campaigning for many years for the powers to be reformed.
Passengers can be detained for up to 9 hours, as was the case with the Brazilian who often assists his partner Glenn Greenwald in his work with the Guardian and first broke the story about the extent of US surveillance in Britain.
Those stopped are not under arrest but may be questioned, strip-searched and have samples of their biometric data including DNA & fingerprints taken from them regardless of the outcome of the encounter and in the absence of a lawyer. They have to cooperate or else would be detained for up to 28 days without charge.
Following a review last month, the Government acceded to demands, and made cosmetic changes. However, these failed to address underlying concerns and are expected to have little effect.
It is hoped that publicity generated by the Miranda detention, about the draconian nature of the Schedule 7 legislation, will push the reviewer of the anti-terrorism laws, David Anderson, to recommend sweeping changes to the present laws.

I just bought the Zapper for my son-in-law. He was diagnosed with lymes last September, but we believe he has had the disease for at least three years. He has been on two courses of oral antibiotics back-to-back and then IV treatment for the month of February. No improvement. I had him start the meso-silver about 2 1/2 weeks ago. 1/4 cup 4x per day. He is noticing some improvement. I received the Zapper last week and was wondering what the best "dosage" or "amount of time" would be for him to use the Zapper. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dear E.,
Although we don't diagnose or treat anything, others have found these general guidelines helpful:
- Use the zapper as much as convenient, while listening to your body for signs of detox at the start.
- You really cannot overdose on either the zapper or the SuperZappicator.
- Experiment with at least one yellow 60-minute cycle per day using the wristbands, and two 30-minute flashing green cycles with the SuperZappicator on areas of pain.
We've had many reports of the Herxheimer reaction when cleaning up lyme, so listening to your body is vital.
The Best Zapper team

With the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in full swing, let's take a look at the new games being offered up by Sony for its PlayStation 4 console.
Here are our favorite trailers for the PS4 that have hit YouTube:
The Order: 1886 is a PS4 exclusive, courtesy of Ready At Dawn Studios. Steampunk fans should get a kick out of the Victorian London atmosphere:
Drive Club: We saw a sneak peek of this game during the official PS4 launch a few weeks ago, but here's the official E3 trailer - featuring lots of real cars and fast driving:
inFAMOUS Second Son: Not a launch title, this game is scheduled for Q1 2014, but will still be a PS4 exclusive. From the description: "Surrounded by a society that fears them, superhumans are ruthlessly hunted down and caged by the Department of Unified Protection. When Delsin Rowe discovers his powers he's forced to run, searching for other superhumans in order to save those he loves from the oppressive D.U.P. The choices he makes along the way change the future of everyone around him."
Killzone: Shadow Fall: This was another game we saw at the launch, this seems to be Sony's answer to the Halo fans (as well as Battlefield, Call of Duty and other shooter games).
Knack: This game was very odd when they announced it at the PS4 launch, so it's good to see more gameplay on this robot action-adventure game.
Kingdom Hearts III Reveal Trailer: One of my favorite all-time games was Kingdom Hearts 2, the merger of Final Fantasy-style gameplay with Disney characters thrown into the mix. Kingdom Hearts has never seen a PS3 game (although you can play the Kindgom Hearts Remix game on PS3 soon too), so this is huge news:
Here's the Kindgom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX trailer, which lets you play "Final Mix", "Chain of Memories" and "358/2 Days" on the PS3 (you might want to hold onto that PS3 a bit longer than you had hoped).
Assasin's Creed IV: Black Flag: Trailers for this game have also been out for a while, and of course this game will be available for both systems, but it's good to see the latest version of the popular series.
PlanetSide 2: this free-to-play massively multiplayer online first-person shooter "chronicles the efforts of three factions as they fight for territorial control of the planet Auraxis."
The Elder Scrolls Online: The massive game from Bethesda Softworks will be available on the PS4 - if you thought you spent a lot of time playing Skyrim, you're probably going to need more time for this one:
Finally, here's the entire Sony press event if you have a couple of ours to kill:
Were there any other titles that excited you from Sony? Let me know in the comments.

sema updates
hi jon,
i have been reading the posts involving sema and i had a thought[ i figured i had better get it out before it dies of loneliness] it says that to find out info on pending legislation to contact brian caudill at sema. i was thinking that if they sent you an update you could send out an alert in the weekly newsletter. how does that sound to you? it seems like a good way to get it to a lot of people without to much work.
Thanks helrazr3. I do want to implement some sort of warning on pending legislation affecting our hobby, but I'm not exactly sure what the best way to do it is. A little notice in the weekly newsletter would not be a bad idea, as long as there were weekly changes, and we didn't end up printing the same stuff for a month in a row.
I am not very impressed with SEMA, and have specifically prevented this website from becoming a member. They are, by definition, a marketing association (SEMA = Specialty Equipment Market Association). Their primary function is to protect the interests of companies and other marketing entities in the aftermarket automotive industry. They were started by businesses, to stick up for businesses. There is nothing wrong with this, but if legislation came up that were to benefit hotrodders, but not hot rod companies, whose side would they be on?
Nevertheless, we have a common interest in seeing that certain legislation gets passed, and certain other legislation does not. I think we should post notices about important legislation without referencing SEMA, but if this is not feasible, we can mention them.
If I were SEMA, I would just set it up so that websites could just cut-and-paste one little line of code into their sites, that would automatically update with SEMA alerts. This is very easy to do. Maybe I'll talk to them about this.

Though we have seen this movie play out a few times before, the final act of the Ricky Williams show appears to have finally ended. An enigma for most of his pro football career, Williams has announced that he will not play out the final season of his recently signed two-year contract with the Ravens.
After the New Orleans Saints traded away their immediate future to draft Williams, the organization soon discovered that the controversial back was not the bump they needed in the Bayou. Trying to salvage something out of one of the worst trades in NFL history, the Saints shipped Williams to Miami for what would become two first round draft picks. Those selections translated to WR Donte' Stallworth (2002) and DT Johnathan Sullivan (2003), both of whom could be considered busts in the NFL.
Williams, meanwhile, moved on to enjoy his most proficient NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins. His two best years (career and Fantasy Football wise) came in 2002 and 2003. Ricky ran wild during those two seasons as he racked up 3,939 total yards and 27 touchdowns. After an NFL suspension due to drug issues, Williams played a year in the CFL before being reborn in Miami during the 2009 NFL season. That year Williams had 1,385 total yards and 13 touchdowns. Though 2002 was the only season that the "Texas Tornado" ruled the Fantasy Football roost, he was a factor on draft day,(for good or bad) during his entire NFL career.
As if his stock needed to be pumped up any higher, RB Ray Rice stands to benefit the most from the departure of Williams. Fantasy owners who drafted Rice high in the first round in 2011 (yours truly included) were often dismayed to see #34 in the backfield, rather than #27, in goal line situations. We were further put off when Ricky would run into the middle of the pile for no gain or, even worse, a touchdown (as was the case twice last season).
The departure of Williams should also light a spark under Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome as Baltimore now faces an even greater need to get Rice under contract. A peak at the Ravens' depth chart shows Rice along with unproven sophomore Anthony Allen, and often injured Matt Lawrence, as back-ups. Neither player will eat into Double R's playing time during the 2012 NFL season.
I fully expect that the Ravens will seek out an experienced running back in order to give Rice a breather from time to time. That being said, 2012 should be the first time in his career that it will be all Rice, all the time, in Baltimore. Remember, before Ricky Williams in 2011, Rice was always fighting for touches with Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain .
At this very early stage of the 2012 NFL off-season (and depending on how contract negotiations progress), I like Ray Rice as the #1 overall pick on Draft Day, even more with the departure of Williams. Baltimore knows that their success relies on Rice being a reliable workhorse, both running and catching the football. The emergence of Torry Smith at wide receiver, along with a full season out of Anquan Boldin , will also benefit Rice and the Ravens. If they focus their 2012 Draft Day attention on another wide receiver, the sky is the limit for Ray Rice and the Ravens during the coming season.
One other question still remains though – Is Ricky Williams really retired, or will the lure of that $1.5 million in 2012 help change his mind? Fantasy owners are hoping that Ricky Williams' announced retirement sticks and that Ray Rice gets richer in the process.

A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he's drinking, the monkey starts jumping all over the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them,then jumps up on the pool table, grabs the cue ball, sticks it in his mouth and swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?"
The guy says, "No, what?"
"He just ate the cue ball off my pool table - whole!" says the bartender.
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He eats everything in sight, the little twerp. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff."
He finishes his drink, pays his bill, and leaves.
Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and he has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again.
While the man is drinking, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his bum, pulls it out, and eats it.
The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?"
"Now what?" asks the patron. "Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry up his bum, then pulled it out and ate it!" says the barkeeper.
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replies the patron. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he ate that cue ball he measures it first!"

Guy walks into a bar. He tells the bartender that he wants seven shots of whiskey all lined up shot glass to shot glass on the bar. The bartender complies and then the guy starts drinking them down, hurriedly, one right after the other. As the guy is about to pick up the last one, the bartender says "man, you shouldn't drink like that, it's just not good for you at all. The guy looks at the bartender and replies; "you would drink like this too if you had what I got." The bartender asks; "what have you got?" The guy replies; "50 cents."

What's All Over Her Arms? Kim Kardashian Confesses
MakenzieR on 22 Jul 2011 at 10:54am
With an empire built almost exclusively on her looks (because let's face it, the sibling squabbles on their show are pretty mundane), Kim Kardashian made a confession that could greatly affect her career.
She has psoriasis. Just like 2-3% of Americans.
"Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder characterized by skin inflammation and flaking that occurs because skin cells grow or turnover too quickly. People affected by psoriasis may also show the following symptoms: thick, red or silvery patches of skin, tender, itchy, dry or cracked skin; thickened, ridged fingernails and toenails, stiff or sore joints (a sign of psoriatic arthritis)."
Doesn't sound too attractive, does it? '
"People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect," Kim said. "When I gain a pound, it's in the headlines, so imagine what the tabloids will do to me when they see all these spots."
Apparently Kim's mom, Kris Jenner, was diagnosed with the same disease at age 30. But it's still unclear if psoriasis is truly genetic.
While there are creams and lasers to keep psoriasis symptoms at bay, it's unlikely she'll be patch-free 24/7/365. It'll undoubtedly be difficult for her to deal with on a personal level. But she doesn't seem like a stranger to Photoshop, so it's hard to imagine it will truly affect her career.
Hopefully Kim will become a positive face (like LeAnn Rimes) for the misunderstood auto-immune disease.
The #1 thing everyone should know? It's not contagious.
Do you think Kim's career is in jeopardy because of psoriasis?

Joint Solution Discovers and Attacks Hybrid Cloud Shadow IT and Malware at the Source Through Detection, Quarantine, and Eradication Capabilities
WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwired - Jan 5, 2016) - CloudLock®, the leading provider of Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and Cybersecurity-as-a-Service solutions, and Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (
"We are very excited to announce our partnership and integration with Check Point, allowing customers the ability to unify security across their hybrid cloud environments," said Gil Zimmermann, CEO and co-founder at CloudLock. "With the rapidly evolving threat landscape, security is no longer a luxury - it's a mandatory necessity. Our combined solution is a powerful way to address these threats head-on, and non-intrusively."
Security teams are challenged to unify cybersecurity across on-premise and public cloud environments. This leaves organizations in a diminished capacity to address a growing number of cyber threats. The proliferation of user-enabled cloud applications brings inherent security risks particularly as many apps connect to the corporate environment via integrations with sanctioned apps. Findings from the CloudLock CyberLab Q3 2015 cybersecurity report revealed over 52,000 app installs are conducted by privileged users - users such as administrators who typically have unrestricted access.
Shadow IT applications create a trifecta of risks: data loss through unauthorized channels, the introduction of malware into the environment and compromised user identities. The joint solution from CloudLock and Check Point combats malware by providing unified visibility into malware introduced through Shadow IT applications and direct remediation actions that help organizations enforce quarantine policies to isolate threats and render them innocuous.
The solution focuses on the following areas:
Cloud App Control
Malware Detection and Eradication
"Check Point's partnership with CloudLock helps usher in API-based CASB technology in the enterprise network firewall market," said Alon Kantor, vice president of business development, Check Point. "Customers can now combine data protection and Shadow IT discovery & control, across on-premises and public cloud environments."
For more information, read the Check Point + CloudLock solution brief, Eliminating Shadow IT & Cloud Malware.
About Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. [www.checkpoint.com] is the largest pure-play security vendor globally, provides industry-leading solutions, and protects customers from cyberattacks with an unmatched catch rate of malware and other types of attacks.

A terminally ill CEO who devoted his life to creating environmentally friendly cleaning products strives to make one last business deal as he reflects on his early years as a Greek immigrant in pursuit of the American Dream in this poignant drama from director/screenwriter Nick Agiashvili. When Van Vlahakis (Ed O'Ross) arrived in America back in the 1950s, he came up from nothing to be the CEO of Earth Friendly Products. Now, after decades of working to create a better world, Vlahakis is dying. Diagnosed with cancer as a major corporation plots a hostile takeover of his company, Vlahakis finds his thoughts continually drifting back to those memorable days of youth, and realizes that his work here is not yet done. Only once Vlahakis has managed to ensure that his company will continue to provide products that will make the world safer for future generations will he lie down for that final sleep, and until that day comes, he'll keep on fighting with everything he's got. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Perceptions of racism -- from being treated with suspicion in a store to unfairness in employment or housing -- can heighten stress levels and affect health, research has shown. A new study from Boston University links these smoldering signs of racism to weight gain in black women, suggesting a possible explanation for the their higher obesity rates compared to white women.
Yvette Cozier, an epidemiologist at the Slone Epidemiology Center at BU, led a survey of more than 43,000 women enrolled in the long-running Black Women's Health Study. Writing in the June issue of Annals of Epidemiology, she and her co-authors describe participants' reports on their weight, body mass index, and perceptions of racism.
I can hear the critics now: This is another "news" story that can't possibly be true. For one thing, everyone knows there's no racism is Bahh-ston. Besides, if this were true, how can we explain the number of overweight whites?
All joking aside, this is clearly another dishonest attempt to utilize "science" to support the ruling ideology. That ideology, conceived as a means to exert ever-expanding power over a gullible and increasingly docile population, says all people are equal, and all perceived inequality is explained by the racism of the white majority. Only the benign power of government can cure these injustices, so any opposition to expanding the government's reach is based on irrational hatred and ignorance.
There can only be one result of politically correct nonsense like this being peddled as science, and we have a pretty good historical example suggesting the consequences. Soviet researcher Trofim Lysenko cooked up a theory of agronomics that seemed to validate Marxist egalitarianism under Stalin. His theory that environment trumps genetics became official dogma, and dissidents often lost jobs, or worse. Lysenkoism set back Soviet agricultural production for decades.
Similarly, the DC empire's policies are determined by its official egalitarian ideology, which is sabotaging the education of millions of young people, as well as flooding our nation with Third-World colonists. It also provides the philosophical underpinning of DC's "affirmative action" home loan fiasco, as well as its aggressive foreign policy, which seeks to liberate the planet. And we all know how those have worked out for us.
By their fruits you shall know them.

The Latter Day Boom In Mormon AntiquesSandra Dallas
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who trekked across the prairie to Utah in 1847 were in search of religious freedom, not a new lifestyle. So they took a chunk of Victorian life with them, reproducing even the ornate furniture they had left behind. "They were trying to create culture in a desert," says Marilyn Conover Barker, author of The Legacy of Mormon Furniture ($29.95, Gibbs Smith), due out Oct. 1.
Today, that culture brings high prices. Californians discovered 19th century Mormon furniture--characterized by its exag- gerated dimensions and hand-painted wood grain--a decade ago. But now it's catching on with East Coast designers and collectors of religious folk art.
Mormon furniture's appeal, says New York decorator Timothy Macdonald, is its "rustic quality and a sense of whimsy that comes through the interpretation of pioneer craftsmen." He assembled a collection for Lionel Pincus, chairman and chief executive of E.M. Warburg Pincus. Yet most collectors are individuals snapping up items for a few hundred dollars each.
Salt Lake City dealer Jonathan Sweet (801 359-4852) says good Mormon pieces "should appreciate the way Shaker furniture has." Prices, increasing some 10% a year, should continue to go up. A top-grade rocker by an anonymous craftsman that sold for $500 five years ago now fetches $3,500, and a museum-quality settee costs $6,000, a fourfold increase. But you can buy a Windsor chair for as little as $65, or a pedestal table for $300. F. Weixler (801 534-1014) restores authentic furniture and custom-builds reproductions for about 40% of the price of old pieces.
While a limited amount of furniture was made from 1847 to the turn of the century, pieces are still coming onto the market as dealers scour barns and outbuildings. Most Mormon furniture is still sold through Utah dealers, who have a pipeline into small towns across the state. But if you know what to look for, you can find items in antique stores in adjacent states as well as California. Since the Saints are known for keeping every scrap of paper from pioneer days, pieces are often documented. "Ask for the grandma story," advises Mormon-furniture specialist John Told in Midway, Utah (801 785-5224).
Mormon furniture has nothing to do with religion, although an occasional piece uses a beehive or other church symbol as a design element. Instead, the furniture, much of it made by English and Scandinavian converts, copied conventional styles--but with a difference. Utah had no hardwood. Carpenters made do with cottonwood and pine, woods so soft they compensated by making oversize legs to support the weight of tables and chairs. "Proportions are cartoony and fun," explains Told.
Most surfaces were painted, often with ox blood, or grained to produce the look of hardwoods, such as walnut and mahogany. Faux oak graining, used in both church woodwork and furniture, was called "Brigham oak" for church President Brigham Young, himself a carpenter and grainer. In the 1970s, when natural woods were popular, many Mormon pieces were stripped of their hand-painted grain, decreasing their value up to 90%. They're still highly collectible, though, because of their styling.
WIDE ROCKER. Look for settees and daybeds that expand to accommodate two or more sleepers. They are marked by a country Empire style with a pediment in back. Rockers are popular, especially the oversize "Brigham rocker"--contrived when a furniture maker asked the portly Young to make an imprint in the snow so he could fashion a rocker to fit the church leader's dimensions. Also desirable are grained flour and sugar bins.
Finely made furniture by craftsmen such as Ralph Ramsay, Henry Dinwoodey, and William Bell bring twice the price of anonymous works. Pieces stamped "Public Works" also bring a premium. They were made by converts working in church-owned shops to repay transportation costs to Utah.
Occasionally, Mormon furniture was constructed of hardwood that arrived in Utah as packing crates. Told recently sold a New York collector what he calls a "dynamite settee." It was made from a packing case stamped "dynamite"--a word collectors say could apply to all Mormonfurniture.

Hot Trailer: 'The Best Of Me'

We're expected to believe that Luke Bracey turns into James Marsden in 20 years?
The transition shot in the trailer is laughable.
Apparently he also shrank in height too?
It looks … very odd.
I liked it the first time… when it was called THE NOTEBOOK.
wow it's bad. the actors don't look the same at all. Casting director should be fired! didn't the producers/director look at the headshots before making the film?
thats the worst young version/old version match on both counts ive ever seen but i dont think this demo is very discerning lol
Agree with the Bracey to Marsden transition shot, and the transition between them in general, especially if the movie keeps skipping back and forth between them like the trailer does. That made it so blatant it pulled me out of the story and was the only thing I was thinking about.
Surprises me to say that Bracey could make the idea of a Point Break remake less than incredibly annoying (depending on what Wimmer pulls together)…
Exactly what research did the marketing department do as they have failed to match any of the beats, emotion and "must-do's" of a Nicholas Sparks or Sparks like branded film?
This is elementary marketing and Relativity has failed again at even matching a movie they had-that was semi successful.
Transition is laughable. The threat is non existent. and I'm really not interested in the young version or the old version of this couple
its a story about some young unattractive people who fall back in love when they get old and semi attractive?
great job again Relativity, you make it so hard to root for you.
you need new thinkers over there that can take a model, enhance it and hit an emotion through marketing.

Citation: Grove, M.L., Morrison, A., Folsom, A.R., Boerwinkle, E., Hoelscher, D.M., Bray, M.S. 2007. Gene-environment interaction and the GNB3 gene in the Atherosclerosis risk in communities study. International Journal of Obesity. 31(6):919-926. Interpretive Summary: This study investigated the relationship between obesity and DNA sequence variation in a gene called GNB3, which produces a protein that is important in the regulation of body fat and energy expenditure. Mature African American and white adults were included in this study. In African Americans who were active, each form of the less common DNA sequence variation was associated with a lower risk for obesity, whereas there was a higher risk for obesity for low-active individuals with the same DNA sequence. Variation in the GNB3 gene sequence was also associated with physical activity and hypertension.
Technical Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the interaction between the G-protein beta-3 (GNB3) 825C>T polymorphism and physical activity in relation to prevalent obesity and hypertension. The GNB3 825C>T genotype was measured in a sample of 14 716 African Americans (AAs) and whites from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, and logistic regression was used to test for genetic effects and gene–environment interactions. The GNB3 825C>T variant was not independently associated with prevalent obesity or hypertension in either AA or whites. However, we observed a significant interaction (P<0.001) between this variant and physical activity in predicting obesity status in AAs. In AAs who were active, each 825T allele was associated with a 20% lower prevalence of obesity (odds ratio (OR)=0.80, 95% confidence interval (CI=0.689–0.937, P=0.005), whereas each 825T allele was associated with a 23% greater prevalence of obesity for low-active individuals (OR=1.23, 95% CI=1.06–1.44, P=0.008). We also found a significant interaction between the GNB3 825C>T polymorphism, obesity status and physical activity in predicting hypertension in the AA subjects. AA homozygotes for the 825T allele who were both obese and had a low activity level were 2.7 times more likely to be hypertensive, compared to non-obese, active 825C homozygotes (OR=2.71, 95% CI=1.19–6.17, P<0.02). Our findings suggest that the variation within the GNB3 gene may interact with physical activity level to influence obesity status and, together with obesity and physical activity, the GNB3 825C>T variant may influence hypertension prevalence in AAs.

Moosin' MMA: Rafael Natal vs Travis Lutter
win this one luttross
We're losing money tonight, Natal wins it by 1st round TKO.
how it went down...
Round 1: Lutter latches onto a single leg and doggedly goes after a takedown, pressing Natal to the fence for over a minute. Sapo finally breaks free and goes after Lutter with head kicks and teeps. Natal doubles Lutter over with a kick, then blasts him with a left hand. Lutter goes fetal and Sapo finishes it with hammerfists.
Rafael "Sapo" Natal (12-2) def. Travis Lutter (10-6) via TKO (punches) R1 4:12

I have a strange oil leak. no sign if oil in the floor where i park my car. No white smoke. I can see my intake manifold gasket area and below that. can a leaky intake gasket cause oil leak?
Previous time I had the oil leak it was valve cover gasket and crank shaft gaskets.
Please tell me what other places to look?
