GM considers revamping Buick logo
General Motors will explore freshening Buick's famous tri-shield logo, a top executive said.
GM North America President Mark Reuss, in a visit with a group of journalists responsible for awarding the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards, said the automaker might upgrade the Buick badge.
It would be the first redesign for the logo in at least a decade. The badge features three side-by-side shields enclosed in a circle. The logo is currently all chrome, but Reuss hinted that could change, too.
Spokesmen for the Buick brand declined to confirm or dispute Reuss' comments.
Redesigning a brand logo is an extremely sensitive process that can send enthusiasts and longtime customers into a frenzy. But Buick has been repositioning itself as an attractive choice for younger affluent consumers.

Is there a treatment for paper thin skin on arms?
- Kathryn in Florida
- Ocala, Fl
- Last updated: 6 years ago
My doctor told me that the reason the skin on my arms are so thin is because I used to sunbath every single day. Now the skin on my arms are paper thin. I use sunblocks now. Wish I had listened to my mother when I was young. There has to be something I can put on my arms to help thicken the skin, but I have no clue what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After three seasons coining in the Euros in France and in the process more than doubling his total of England caps, Tom Palmer is ready to come home to Wasps. Trouble is, the lock planning the end to his voluntary exile with Stade Français is not sure Wasps are ready to have him. "All the new signings they've made, and the current players, are waiting to see what will happen," Palmer said of the hoped-for sale of the fallen champions by the current owner, Steve Hayes. "I suppose we'll have to wait until after the final game because if you're a new owner, you're going to wait for that before you commit to anything."
A commitment is what Palmer made in February when he signed a two-year contract to return to the club with whom he won a Heineken Cup and a Premiership in the first two of his three seasons there from 2006 to 2009. He knew it had been announced last October that Wasps were up for sale, but he was reassured that Hayes had guaranteed to cover spending on wages up to the salary cap for the next two years. Palmer's understanding now is that Hayes is no longer providing that undertaking, but the new hope is that a buyer – reportedly a consortium led by the former player Ken Moss – will sweep away both that doubt and the one that Wasps might enter administration and suffer a ruinous deduction of 22 points either this season or next or both. "If they go into administration then I could be searching for someone else to play for," said Palmer.
The season's on-field business will be concluded next Saturday when Wasps host fellow former Premiership champions Newcastle Falcons in a meeting of the league's bottom two clubs. With a four-point advantage and a much better points difference, Wasps would have to lose by a huge margin to go down. Whoever finishes bottom may in any case be spared if the second-division Championship winners do not fulfil the Premiership's entry criteria. Meanwhile the off-field uncertainty has given Wasps – six times league winners and twice European champions – the stomach-knotting anxiety familiar to Portsmouth, Rangers and any number of questionably run football clubs.
"We fear for the club unless they get an owner," said Dai Young, the Wasps director of rugby who in his first season has been assailed by a catastrophic injury list, unexpected retirements and the bailing-out by Hayes after a plan to develop a new stadium in High Wycombe fell through. "My understanding of where we are at the minute is things are very close, things are very positive. Make no bones about it, unless we get the right amount of investment we'll be in the same position next year. Historically we're one of the biggest clubs, but not now. Our infrastructure is miles behind. You look at your big clubs of the minute, your Harlequins and your Northamptons, who by going down took a long hard look at themselves, both on and off the field, and came back stronger. What I'm hoping is we can take that long hard look at ourselves and we can come back stronger – without going down. I think we've had the fright of our lives and hopefully we can stick in there by the skin of our teeth."
Tom Varndell, the Wasps wing whose try-saving tackle at Bath last weekend helped secure a monumentally important losing bonus point, described the season as "horrible" and "pretty stressful". The lowest point was a meeting two weeks ago when the players were told a sale to a group including Tony Kleanthous, the chairman of Barnet Football Club, had fallen through – or, possibly, stalled while new terms were agreed. At around the same time it was revealed Hayes, who took over Wasps in 2008 and has seen more than 20 internationals leave or retire in his time, was on bail after being arrested on suspicion of computer hacking.
Over in Vaucresson, the western suburb of Paris, where Palmer was married in the local town hall two years ago, he has followed the worrying narrative via phone calls to Wasps players, communications through his agent and reports in the press. Considering Palmer's season began with a change of ownership at Stade Français amid accusations of fraud over missing funds he has done superbly to maintain form and by appearing in 12 of England's 13 Tests, taken his cap total to 37. All this while England, in theory, were dead against picking players based abroad.
"The reason I was coming back to England was to carry on playing for England," said Palmer, whose career started at Leeds. "Rugby wise I've developed my game among high quality players. There's good signings at Wasps – [England forward] James Haskell, [Wales fly-half] Stephen Jones, [Springbok prospect] Ashley Johnson – to add to the great youngsters they've got, so it should be a very strong squad. I'd hope it could be the top half of the league next season."
On Friday he played in Stade Français' 32-29 defeat to Toulon in the Amlin Challenge Cup final. Wasps' European ranking points mean they could yet qualify for next season's Heineken Cup by the back door.
"Some of the French teams can afford to have 35 top-quality players," Palmer said. "It will make an English club winning the Heineken Cup difficult. But I think for the England team the way it is in England is better,not having many foreign players in the Premiership and more young guys getting the opportunity to play. The young guys at Wasps have taken their chance." Palmer cannot wait to join them.
Clubs on the rocks: Teams who hit financial trouble
Wakefield Began open era solidly in second division but falling attendances and reduced central subsidies saw the club of former England captain Mike Harrison close in 2004.
Orrell High-flyers in top division, pioneered ground-sharing with matches against Leicester and Bath at Wigan RL's Central Park in 1996. Ran out of cash and funding from Wigan Athletic owner Dave Whelan was short-lived. Lost Edge Hall Roadhome and now playing in South Lancs/Cheshire One.
Richmond and London Scottish Big names in amateur era, gambled on professional success without owning a stadium to match. Both clubs were demoted eight divisions in 1999, but they have regrouped magnificently at old Athletic Ground home.
West Hartlepool Invested in overseas players while in top division in 1990s but soon relegated and lost their Brierton Lane home. Now in National Three North, sharing Brinkburn ground with Hartlepool Sixth Form College.
Wasps Sold former ground at Sudbury during moves to QPR's Loftus Road and Adams Park in High Wycombe. Pro team London Wasps now up for sale; their training ground in Acton is owned by amateur club Wasps FC.

Re: Ok, already time for mods!
Thanks for the tips on the brakes, I will also talk to the performance shop I am going to for their opinion on some brands that work well on this line.
Road courses are definitely my interest. Does anyone know of any good ones within about 150-200 mi of southern NJ?
- Cal
Re: Ok, already time for mods!
I have 2 nags on my V that really have little to do with making it go faster, stop quicker or handle better.
1. I want a hand operated parking/E-brake - as opposed to a pedal.
2. I want reverse/backup sensors like the SRX.
While I was getting my tint done yesterday I was talking with the shop owner who I know personally - he does alot of car customization stuff. He showed me an install (<$300) of a German made 4 sensor system which looks dead to nuts stock (yes of course have to put 4 holes in the rear bumper - wired to the reverse lights with an integrated tweeter as the audiable alarm - in the trunk). It sounds cheap and cheesy but it wasn't - it came together just fine, I have seen some awfully FUGLY aftermarket kits to do this, I would NEVER have considered it until yesterday.
Anyone have any thoughts on this idea?
I'm already working on the handbrake idea too.

Re: Ok, already time for mods!
Mmmm....hand brake. F-body donor? Hard part is the console.

Re: Ok, already time for mods!
e-brake is, of course, used for those J-turns everyone does in their CTS (as per Matrix)
My other car is an SUV so I'm actually used to the brake there, but it is a pain in the ass to put 2 feet on pedals, turn off, move left foot to ebrake.
I think I'm starting the mod process in a day or two, will keep you all posted.
Back-up sensors are nice in a big car, this one doesn't have a long enough trunk to make it matter in my opinion. I wouldn't drill holes in the rear bumper for it, but if it was an option I would have taken it.
Re: Ok, already time for mods!
Here's what I am going with for the first set:
More Performance air box - $199
alleged rwhp = 21
Corsa cat-back package - $TBD
Hurst shifter - no idea if it'll fit
tires - Michelin Pilot Sport - $TBD
When I bring the car back in they are going to start fitting it for a custom ATI supercharger. Not sure how they will get it in or which kit they will decide on yet, but it should be a blast (literally). - $TBD
dyno tune - will be done after the charger is in place - $325
overall goal - 500rwhp
Will keep everyone posted with results along the way.
Other possible changes:
porting throttle body
underdrive pulleys (may get done during charger install)
22" spinners (kidding) :drinker

Actors : Brittany Amber, Damian B
Brittany Amber is dressed to the nines and is all ready to go out. Damian, however, is stripped to a tee and clearly going nowhere any time soon. Brittany asks him one more time if he'd like to go out and Damian asks her one more time if she'd like to stay in... well, he doesn't so much as ask as much as he just begins to go down on her, stripping her garment by garment until she is naked as the day she started and she relents to the what will follow. Taking his cock into her mouth, slurping it down and gagging on it, she appears enthusiatic for someone who need convincing, so Damian bends her over the side of the bed and fucks and thrusts and squeezes and grabs with all his might as Brittany takes the pounding and begs for more, stroking his cock and sucking the head and then plunging back inside for Damian to fuck her more, until he is so worked up and ready to shoot that he drenches her with a load, ruining her make up and salting her with semen all over body.Brittany realizes if she really wants to go out, she's gonna have to get ready all over again. Then again, what's the need in going out anymore?Enjoy!

Karma Tote - Nine West
Want want want want this. It comes in a gorgeous brick red leather and it's studded! With the fanciest dress in my closet and a denim jacket I'd be ready to do anything (and i can fit my life in it).
This is a great ankle boot. I love the vintage style. It comes in black or gray suede. The heel is 4 1/2" wood with a rubber sole.Tags: vintage, boots, gray, suede, vintage boots, black ankle bootsAdded 8 Years Ago from Nine West
Nice addition to your fall wardrobe with eye catching details.Tags: vintage, flats, fall fashions, vintage americaAdded 8 Years Ago from Nine West
I love these boots. I can't decide whether or like them best in tan or black I love the worn look of the tan but I also tend to wear black boots most. They're simple boots that you can wear with almost anything.
the white blouse is very in this fall, this is a nice vintage take on it. great to wear with skinny jeans and thigh high boots. accessories will dress it up or down.Tags: vintage, blouses, fall, white shirtsAdded 8 Years Ago from Nine West
Cool boot design with cool colors. I personally like it in the wine leather. New take on the cowboy boot.
Seen this in a couple magazine ads and love it. Great take on fall's ankle boot incorporating suede and lace up. Will look great with skinny jeans, a dress and/or leggings

The Perception Of The Future - Poem by Anita Atina
The perception of what is in the now,
Leaves us wondering, about the future;
The perception of an imagined future,
Coloured with our hopes, our longing and fears,
Often haunts us, unrealized.
Between the now and the future,
Lies a meandering path,
Through meadows and mountains,
Over a shadowy gorge where,
Tenuously hangs, a narrow bridge swaying.
We walk on, sometimes with eyes that refuse to see,
Scared of slipping,
Unnerved by strong winds,
Desperately holding the thin ropes,
Holding us aloft the yawning netherworld of our fears.
Gingerly stepping ahead on this path,
Chosen, as it leads to the future,
Where the mountains and its paths,
Melt into unceasing togetherness,
Of the sun and the sea.
Where all the elements,
Fire, earth, water and air, combine in the aether,
So too will our now and our future merge,
In a continuum of light, as we dissolve,
Only to be formed again, in the eternal circle of life.

making frozen dirt cubes
THis might be odd but I'm going to be redoing the whole tank later next year. For now I'm trying to get a little better nutrients into the substrate without going crazy with fert tabs that I've had limited sucess with. I was wondering about making a thick mud out of a soil and then freezing it into cubs, then pressing some into the bottom of the gravel.
anyone see problems with that?
Also, do i just need an organic potting soil?
No problems at all, why not do it with osmocote?
not really familiar with it, but after looking it up, fplata, are you talking the soil or actually using the slow release granuels?
Osmocote "Pot shot's " work well for me,Replace them every four month's.
I have also used the granules as bottom sprinkling before placing soil,gravel on top.
Gonna head over to the hardware store and pick up some of the pot shots after lunch. Thanks folks.
Do you use these just like root tabs?
How many would you use at once in a 38 Gallon?
I'm excited these look much more reasonably priced then root tabs!
I normally place one at base of rooted plant's like sword,crypt's.
Good advise, I just put one at the base of my sad looking crypts and hopefully I will see a boost from them soon. My tank is only a 20 so I'm gonna stick with one for now and judge it over the next couple weeks.
Thanks for the info! I'm currently using seachem liquid ferts, should I try both or are these enough?
Would maybe use Seachem's flourish comprehensive along with the Pot shot's for a while and see how plant's do over a few week's.
If more fertz are needed, such as with high energy tank's with CO2 being injected or supplemented, then I would look to dry fertilizer's rather than spend money on more expensive liquid fertz that are perhap's largely water.
Some might say I'm crazy but I've never had much luck with the Seachem products. I'm using up the last bottle of Flourish I've got just to get rid of it. The best luck I've had with fertilizers (and I haven't tried a lot or great substrates before) was the tetra Flora Pride they sell at petco. Always seemed to have really strong and colorful plants when i was consistently using that.
I have made MGOS dirt cubes and used. I have made Oscomote cubes too.

Recently the city of Toronto was paid a visit by Dr. Paul Connett, executive director of the Fluoride Action Network and its parent organization, the American Environmental Health Studies Project. Dr. Connett is a retired chemistry professor who formerly held a teaching position at St. Lawrence University in upstate New York.
In his retirement, Dr. Connett has become the self-proclaimed world leader in the anti-fluoridation movement, travelling the globe to garner support among lobby groups for the elimination of fluoridation of drinking water by municipal governments. His objections to fluoridation are many and varied. Among them are claims that fluoride is ineffective, dangerous and an infringement on civil liberties.
Like his predecessor in the movement, Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, Dr. Connett has written and posted reams of material, and travelled widely to promote his point of view.
Through the efforts of his followers and lobbyists, fluoride has been removed from the municipal water supply in more than 30 communities in Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand. Most notable to Canadian observers of the debate are the recent elimination of municipal fluoridation in Calgary and Kitchener-Waterloo.
With this push against fluoride, you may wonder what the broader scientific community feels about fluoride. In fact, over 90 scientific and health organizations strongly support the continued practice of fluoridation as a means of preventing dental disease. Included in this vast majority are the American Dental Association, the Canadian Dental Association, The American Medical Association, the Canadian Medical Association, the World Health Organization and the Centres for Disease Control, just to name a few.
If you were to ask Dr. Connett about the position of these groups, he would likely claim that we are simply witnessing a government and industry conspiracy to poison us through our water supply.
For the conspiracy theorists out there, consider also the position of independent scientific bodies. Leading research-producing universities in Canada and the US have and continue to support the practice of water fluoridation.
Independent medical review boards, such as those of the American Cancer Society and the Canadian Cancer Society, have found no link between water fluoridation at present levels and disease.
From the vast body of evidence and opinion, it appears that the anti-fluoride movement has gained traction through lobbying rather than science.
What do practicing dentists, those of us who spend a large part of our days treating dental decay, feel about fluoridation? We have seen the difference between those who consume tap water and those who filter or drink alternative water sources. We have also seen the huge decline in cavities in those born in Toronto after 1959 (when fluoridation began in Toronto), and the recent rise in rates of decay since the movement away from tap water.
That is why the vast majority of practicing dentists in the GTA still strongly recommend fluoridation.

Orlando downtown to get 'smart' cameras
By Mark Schlueb
The Orlando Sentinel
ORLANDO — If you ever get the feeling you're being watched, you might be right.
Officials announced plans Monday to blanket downtown Orlando and Parramore with 60 so-called "smart cameras" capable of automatically detecting suspicious activity and alerting police.

To download tracks from Soundcloud, Mixcloud, and Bandcamp.com:
Go to OffLiberty.com, paste the URL of the desired soundcloud track and click the Off-Power button.
When the download button appears. Right click on it, choose "Save as.." and the download will begin. 🙂
That's all there is to it! The mp3 file is limited to 128 kbps which is absolutely fine for casual listening but if you want the best quality you may buy the track, make more Soundcloud downloads for that artist and support the artist.
To download YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, MetaCafe videos:
Again, go to OffLiberty.com.
If you try to use OffLiberty.com to download a video, you have the option of only downloading the audio track or the video file if you click "I want video."
If nothing is working or you're getting an error message, restart your browser or computer if it has been a long time, check if you have the latest Java software and update the software if you need to.
Hope that helps!

Well the ABA Season has come to an end. Started out rough but pulled some stuff together at the end. Ending the year with a number 7 overall. Not what the goals were but it feels good to be back in the top 10 after two hard years with injury. Check out Episode 3 of the Parliament. Next stop is a one off race in Brazil. Gonna have some good footage from that trip.

What do you do when you can't do it right? You kludge it. Generations of engineers, adventurers, programmers, and backyard MacGyvers have been kludging the world together for years. Now we're bringing that honorable tradition to Halloween.
Presenting the Kludge-O-Ween Woot-Off: two days of ludicrously resourceful suggestions for last-minute Halloween costumes for you to throw together. Some of these items will only reach you in time if you overnight them, and some won't get there in time at all. But a true kludger doesn't whine about shipping times! He or she looks around for what's at hand, cranks up the imagination, and cobbles together something semi-acceptable. When those trick-or-treaters show up, don't freak; you've probably got some oyster crackers or something in the pantry, right?
We hope Kludge-O-Ween inspires you to kludge together a costume, or to show us your improvised costumes of the past. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for our own getups kludged completely from offrice supplies. And most of all, have a very happy Kludge-O-Ween, whether you've prepared for it or not.


text: Dear friends: Sorry that we have been so slow in getting updated information to everybody. We have been overwhelmed at times and are struggling to keep our heads above water. Despite our challenges, we are very happy with the ministry at Deborah's house. At the moment we have 18 people in the shelter, including six women and 11 children (ages one month to 10 years). The shelter has been running full time since February and we have seen many other families come and go in that time. All told, we have provided shelter for 14 women and their children for an average of 4 1/2 months each. There is a need to help more women, of course, but we don't have the resources or space yet for more than six or seven families at a time. This has been a great experience with many new challenges, and through trial and error we are learning how to do the best that we can in helping these women with what they need most. Thank God for dedicated volunteers who have given so much to make sure that the women have what they need. Particularly, our administrator, Tere, works tirelessly spending hours at the shelter almost every day, after her full time job. Others come and do Bible studies, game time with the kids, and other activities to try to make the shelter a warm and fun place. In addition, each of the women is seeing a psychologist and also a social worker once a week. One of the greater challenges has been to provide for their medical attention. Adalia does most of the doctoring, but sometimes their needs have required much more. One of the women came to us in her seventh month of a high-risk pregnancy. She is deaf and cannot read, write or sign. She had a few close calls but her baby was able to make it to full term and was born just one month ago. The baby is beautiful and is a wonderful addition to the house. Her name? Deborah of course! All of the women have received so much abuse and have many physical ailments as a result. One suffers from severe migraines, another is losing her vision, and another has back problems. To make matters a little scarier, we have just found out that one of the women was exposed to TB for several months in the kitchen where she worked before coming to us in August. We just received the news that one of her coworkers died and another is ill. We are waiting for the results on their tests the second time around (the first results came negative six months ago). We don't believe she has contracted the illness, but it's better to be safe than sorry. The kids are all healthy now, but last week we had to treat several for bronchitis. In such close living quarters, it seems that if one child gets sick, they all do. The older kids are all in school and are doing well. They go to a school at one of our Baptist churches which has an excellent program for special needs children. The school has been very supportive and has been very flexible in making arrangements for students that sometimes have to enter or leave mid year. This is something that the public schools won't do. Furthermore, the class size there, about 20 children per room, is less than half of what the public schools have. The kids get some special attention from another of our American Baptist missionaries, Patti Long, who works at the school several days a week. One of many needs we have now is for scholarships. Although far less expensive than most schools, we need about $60 per child per month for books, supplies, transportation, and lunch. It may sound like a lot of work, but believe me, it is wonderful work. For more than one year I spent all of my time going to the shelter trying to get the house built, organizing work teams, buying supplies, etc. It was the job that would not end, and the house was always the "construction site." But now, when I arrive I am almost always greeted by the cheers and screams of these precious children as they run out to meet me. They can't get enough of me, and constantly jump all over me and ask that I throw them into the air, etc. They haven't had a lot of time with men in their lives, especially with ones they can be themselves around without worrying about getting yelled at or hit. I love my role as uncle to them and I know I am privileged to have it. It is hard to believe, that what for so long was a distant dream has become reality. The house is full. It is full of needs and challenges and difficulties. But it is also full of joy, and hope, and love. Thanks for your part in making this dream come true, Ray and Adalia Current needs: diapers, all sizes. clothes for boys sizes 8-10 cleaning supplies feminine hygene products cosmetics non-perishable foods money (our weekly expenses have been about $550, for: school, food, utilities, gas, etc. work teams to help us build the next building on the site (a 20 X 60ft. two-story, wood -framed building for dorms and day care) Prayers!!!!

I've noticed a disquieting trend where ranges and tops, which once had 15,000-18,000 BTUs per burner, are gradually featuring products with 30,000 BTU burners.
30,000 is a staggering measure of heat.
Let me digress for a moment. I'm a voracious reader of chef/restaurant cookbooks – can't get enough of cooking in the trenches, where every dinner is viewed as a battle to victory. When you read enough of these, you sense a common theme: burns.
"We're burned and cut all the time. So, chefs probably have a pretty high pain threshold," says chef Nicole Gossling of Bolsa. "Chefs just get down and dirty." (Dallas Observer, May 6th, 2010.)
Not something the cooking shows describe in great detail, but most chefs describe the scars as typical war wounds. These are the professionals who talk about getting hurt, not the average consumer.
Now back to our residential ranges: Careless cooking in homes is the number one cause of fire. These aren't ranges you set your food on and walk away. They're instant 3rd-degree-burn hot, and it only takes a less than a minute for your oil to start smoking.
Here's another thought: I was in a forum where a young professional was discussing how she regretted her pro-style range in her new kitchen after she had children. Our family lifestyles are such that we live, eat, and play in our kitchens -- quite a different scenario from restaurant cooking. Should there more educational disclaimers on restaurant-style ranges?
For the foodie and serious cook who understand this serious heat, fine. For the consumer who's after "bigger, stronger, faster", I wonder: how high will one day be too high?

Addiction is way of escaping from life, escaping from yourself, escaping from pain. The addict is a slave to his or her addiction. Whatever the problem is you are escaping from gets worse and more complicated. Often the addict losses his/her sense of self and self esteem, relationships are damaged, and other losses occur. The addict tends to becomes self centered in their addiction and hurts people close to him/her. The addict may become less present with self & other. Recovery involves first & foremost getting sober and working to stay sober. It also means coming to terms with the pain that you are fleeing from and repairing the damage done. I work with drug, alcohol, sex and love addiction

The use of EMDR Therapy for addictions has been shown to be effective. This is the primary approach I use. Often times the focus is on a person's strengths and the ability to identify triggers and replace them with something meaningful. This fosters hope for substance abuse, gambling and and sexual addictions, to name a few. EMDR therapy helps you in your process of getting your life back.

Today, Apple unveiled a new lineup of devices: new iMacs, Mac Mini, a 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro (which, weighing in at only a half-pound more than the Air, is sure to be a best-seller, as its predecessor was), a fourth-generation 9.7-inch iPad (with 4x faster A6X processor, expanded LTE, faster Wi-Fi, Lightning connector, improved cameras, and other refinements), and…ta da!...the long-awaited iPad Mini. As early as October 2011, credible reports from Taiwan surfaced about a 7.85-inch iPad, so it's no surprise to see this product. And yet, Apple's execution dazzles. You pick up this device—which weighs only 0.68 pounds—and it feels feather-light, perfectly weight-balanced—and decidedly not made out of plastic, as its competitor devices are.
I want to pause for a moment to comment further about the weight, because my very first impression of the first-generation was "It's heavy!," much to the chagrin of Michael Tchao, VP of Product Marketing for iPad. The iPad Mini has a larger screen than competing devices from Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Google, but it's somehow lighter than its competitors. Here's how the weights compare, courtesy of each vendor's product specs page:

Windows 8 is a make or break product launch for Microsoft. Windows will endure a slow start as traditional PC users delay upgrades, while those eager for Windows tablets jump in. After a slow start in 2013, Windows 8 will take hold in 2014, keeping Microsoft relevant and the master of the PC market, but simply a contender in tablets, and a distant third in smartphones.
Microsoft has long dominated PC units, with something more than 95% sales. The incremental gains of Apple's Mac products over the last five years haven't really changed that reality. But the tremendous growth of smartphones, and then tablets, has. If you combine all the unit sales of personal devices, Microsoft's share of units has shrunk drastically to about 30% in 2012.
It's hard to absorb the reality of the shift without a picture, so in the report "Windows: The Next Five Years," we estimated and forecast the unit sales of PCs, smartphones, and tablets from 2008 to 2016 to create a visual. As you can see below in the chart of unit sales, Microsoft has and will continue to grow unit sales of Windows and Windows Phone. But the mobile market grew very fast in the last five years, while Microsoft had tiny share in smartphones and no share in tablets.
If you look at the results by share of all personal devices, below, you can see how big a shift happened over the last five years as smartphone units exploded and the iPad took hold.

Microsoft Windows will power just one-third of personal computing devices sold during 2012. Say what? Over the past five years, the transition to mobile devices has transformed Microsoft's position from desktop dominance to one of several players vying for share in a new competitive landscape.
And so Microsoft is making some very bold moves to transform Windows: creating a singular touch-native UX for a seamless experience across PCs and mobile devices, building an app store distribution model, and engaging its vast user base to develop core personal cloud services.
To get a jump on Microsoft's upcoming release of Windows 8 OS and Surface tablets, join our webinar, "Microsoft Windows Evolves From Dominance To Contender," tomorrow October 19th, 2012 from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. Eastern time (15:00-16:00 GMT).
You'll learn about the trends and behaviors shaping a painful, but ultimately successful, five-year migration for the Windows franchise. We will size and forecast the future of Windows' presence in a device landscape where market share is measured across all computing devices, not just PCs. And we will outline the new personal computing success metrics for OS providers and ecosystems, which look beyond device market share to customer engagement across multiple formats, online services, and content delivery.
Look forward to seeing you there.

Well if you're going to make a dramatic about face from total dismissal of cloud computing, this is a relatively credible way to do it. Following up on its announcement of a serious cloud future at Oracle Open World 2011, the company delivered new cloud services with some credibility at this last week's show. It's a strategy with laser focus on selling to Oracle's own installed base and all guns aimed at Salesforce.com. While the promise from last year was a homegrown cloud strategy, most of this year's execution has been bought. The strategy is essentially to deliver enterprise-class applications and middleware any way you want it - on-premise, hosted and managed or true cloud. A quick look at where they are and how they got here:

Hey guys
I know there are other threads around on this particular topic, but time has a tendency to reveal secrets, so I'd like to hear some fresher opinions.
I'm considering the CNT catted downpipe, but I've been hesitant to commit. A catted DP is by no means a minor purchase, and with a bit of patience, I could find something else (probably used) within my budget. I am pretty much set on keeping a converter on the car, which as you all know, raises the price just a hair.
So far, I've read (almost) nothing but good about this piece... what do you guys think?

This is an authentic REMCO FM wireless microphone from 1978, carboard has printed KISS logo, and microphone has a decal with the KISS logo, the backing cardboard has some 70's looking kid's I think REMCO used the same kid's on other KISS things. The plastic cover is formed around entire package and raised around the microphone and is a hard rigid material I'm not sure about the original orgin of this item, but REMCO did have KISS products during the 70's so it is believed to be from that time. This is a possible one of a kind item. REMCO WAS THE SISTER COMPANY OF AHI AZARK HAMAWY INTERNATIONAL WHICH WAS A TOP SELLER OF KISS MERCHANDISE. SO IT WOULD MAKE SENSE THAT REMCO WOULD HAVE THIS ITEM.

This is a discussion on '12 wrx short throw shifter within the New Member Hangout forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; you ORDERED red......?...
How many red's do you see. I honestly cant remember seeing one in Chicago land. Looking to stand out a little bit.
Are there different STS bushings that Subaru can install at port? Just ordered my WRX this morning with STS and did not see another bushing option anywhere.
The STS bushings are the only other option the dealer would install on your car. The others are aftermarket.
yeah the bushings help, i got the ones from subaru but i know kartboys have good reviews
2011 Subaru WRX Premium
1988 Ford Mustang GT
2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ
I called my salesman today and told him to slap that bushing on as well. I got the horrible news that he's expecting my car in may! i was hoping for beginning/mid april. I'm going to lose it.
i ordered my car less than a week ago. the wait is already killing me. no update from my dealer yet. GL!!! lol

DES MOINES WEDDING IN SEPTEMBERSeptember, 2007 in Des Moines
"Our experience was wonderful. We live in the Chicago area but I grew up in des moines so that was where we chose to have the wedding. I was able to find great vendors, all of whom were above and beyond in their talent and their personalities were great. The ceremony and reception were at gorgeous places, and the cherry on top of it all was the perfect weather we had for the entire weekend."

"I grew up here. I was baptised here, had my first communion here, and confirmed here. My sister was married there, my godson was baptised there, so, naturally it was a given for where I would get married. You have to be a member though, so, really this is probably not a helpful review of you are looking for locations to get married."

"The event planning staff is wonderful. Miki put up with all my millions of questions throughout the whole year of planning. They were also willing to work with me, there were things I wanted that weren't on the menu and they made it happen, etc. The grand ballroom is stunningly beautiful, the elegance of the old beats the blahness of a new hotels ballroom anyday. Hardwood floors, dripping chandaliers, and creamy drapes over giant windows. You can't beat it!"

"We booked a few rooms at this hotel outside of downtown and close to shopping just in case any of our guests wanted a different option. Nobody actually stayed here though. The staff was friendly however and prompt in getting the contract for the blocked rooms sent to me."
Renaissance Savery Hotel401 Locust St
Des Moines, IA, USA
(515) 244-2151
"The Savery is another beautiful hotel in downtown Des Moines. I did book some rooms here, and while we had a few guests stay there and enjoy their stay, I would not reccomend them from the planning aspect. They were difficult to get ahold of, i left lots of voicemails and emails and would only sometimes get called back. When I called to check on booking status, I was shuffled around from person to person nobody really wanted to help me. If you can get through all that though, it really is a lovely hotel."

On Nov ember 2, 2004, a fanatic Islamist shot and killed the Dutch filmmaker, Theo van Gogh and then slit his throat and pinned his angry message to those who were regarded as anti-Muslim. Since that day, many Dutch politicians have regarded their nation as engaged in a war against Muslim terrorists. Geert Wilders, leader of the right-wing Party for Freedom(PVV) has become the symbol of hatred toward Muslims. Several months ago while attempting to enter the United Kingdom he was refused entry on grounds he was a 'serious threat" to harmony in British society. This month, he entered Great Britain and was warmly welcomed by those sharing his hatred of Muslims. Current estimates is Wilders stands an excellent chance of becoming prime minister of the Netherlands in 2011.
His basic argument is that Islam is not a religion but a fascist ideology similar to that of the Nazis. He terms the Koran as similar to Hitler's Mein Kampf and wants it banned. His intriguing solution to controversy over the Muslim burqas is to impose a $1,500 tax on wearing it. Wilders is living proof of the human tendency to reach for voices of hate when economic times become precarious. One can only assume Wilders will soon announce that by getting rid of burqas economic revival will shortly follow.
