Hands On With The Amazon Fire Phone
[tc_5min code="518332949″]
Announced last month, the Amazon Fire Phone is the company's first attempt at mobile hardware. Like its cousins in the Kindle Fire line of tablets, it runs a fork of Android and gives you quick access to everything in Amazon's large (and growing) content library.
The device itself has a premium feel that's competitive with flagship phones from Apple, HTC, and Samsung. Like the iPhone 4 and 4S, it has glass on the front and rear, while the curved plastic around the edge of the device has a smooth, solid feel, much like Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite e-reader.
Those familiar with the Kindle Fire's interface will feel right at home with the Fire Phone's "Carousel" home screen, which lets you scroll through your most recently used apps and content. A widget underneath the carousel shows notifications or links to related content in Amazon's store…

Can't Manage A Standing Desk? Meet Cubii, The Sitting Exerciser
Sitting down — and the sedentary lifestyle it encourages — is killing you, slowly but surely. The problem is, standing desks aren't for everyone. Making the switch is a big deal. I love mine but it took a week of pain and suffering to go from seat to feet, and it still feels pretty tough on calves and soles after a full day-long standing stretch.
So here's a third way: Cubii is a sitting exerciser that's been designed to fit under an office desk so those who are stuck in their office chairs can push its pedals while they work and get some exercise, rather than being entirely sedentary.
The Cubii is a pretty simple elliptical trainer but the design has been tweaked so the trajectory of the pedals keeps the user's knees low enough not to bang the underside of the desk.
It also includes a Bluetooth radio and there's a companion app — so your underdesk mileage can be…

Galaxy S5 finally Arrives
At this year's Mobile World Congress, Samsung went all out.The company launched Samsung Galaxy S5 with three other wearable devices Gear 2 , Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit.The galaxy S5 comes with a 5.1-inch, 1920×1080 display, and it comes with a fingerprint
reader on the home button, as well as a heart rate monitor around back near the camera flash. The Galaxy S5 is also dust and water resistant, which may be the most useful new feature to ship on the phone.In hardware part it did not dissapoint ,It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon, quad-core, 2.5GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, 16/32GB of storage, a 16-megapixel camera on the back, a 2.1-megapixel one on the front and a 2,800mAh battery. The device runs Android 4.4 and comes with support for LTE and the super-fast Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard.
Samsung places great emphasis on the device's camera, which has an extremely fast auto-focus (up to 0.3 seconds) and a feature called real-time HDR, showing you an HDR effect on your photos and videos live in the preview as you take a shot. The camera also has selective focus, letting you choose the best focus after taking a shot; a feature called "shot and more" lets you choose the best photo from several taken in rapid succession.
The design of the S5 has changed, but not drastically. The device has an uneven surface on the back, while the front is quite similar to the Galaxy S4, but with a somewhat squarer edges. It's a subtle change, but it makes the S5 more visually appealing than its predecessor.
The samsung galaxy will be available in april with prices of $650 in the US KSH 70,000.
Piers Morgan show Cancelled after 3 years
CNN's prime-time talk show Piers Morgan Live is coming to an end, the news channel said Sunday.
Morgan, who succeeded Larry King in the 9 p.m. ET time slot three years ago, was drawing lacklustre ratings. In contrast, King had a 25-year run on CNN.The airdate for Morgan's last show has yet to be determined, CNN said in a statement.Morgan is a former U.K. tabloid editor who reinvented himself as a TV personality with stints as a judge on Britain's Got Talent and its U.S. spinoff, NBC's America's Got Talent, and as a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice.He hosted BBC's You Can't Fire Me, I'm Famous, and did interview shows and documentaries for ITV.
Morgan told The New York Times that his show lately has "taken a bath in the ratings" but that he and CNN President Jeff Zucker were discussing a new role for him at the channel. CNN's audience has tired of hearing a Brit weigh in on American cultural issues, Morgan said in a story posted online Sunday.
Morgan's future with CNN is undetermined, the channel said.
Last fall, the already struggling Piers Morgan Live faced increased competition from a revised Fox News Channel lineup that included a strong new performer at 9 p.m. EST with Megyn Kelly's The Kelly File.
Morgan served as editor of The Daily Mirror from 1995 to 2004.He has been questioned in connection with Britain's long-running phone hacking scandal, which has led to numerous arrests, resignations and the closure of Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid.
Earlier this month, Morgan confirmed that he was interviewed in December by British police investigating the illegal interception of telephone voicemails. Morgan, who said he had given a previous witness statement, has consistently denied wrongdoing.

Submitted to: Southern Nursery Association Research Conference
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 6/1/2004
Publication Date: 6/1/2003
Citation: Copes, W.E., Chastagner, G.A., Hummel, R.L. 2003. Toxicity responses of herbaceous and woody ornamental plants to chlorine and hydrogen dioxides. Southern Nursery Association Research Conference Proceedings. 47:215-218 Interpretive Summary: Hydrogen dioxide and chlorine dioxide are disinfectants registered for certain horticultural applications. Information about effective rates and strategies that would allow these disinfectants to be used to control pathogens on ornamental plants is limited. This study used different rates of these disinfectants believed to be effective for disease control to see if damage occurred on various ornamental plant species. Rates of hydrogen and chlorine dioxides that should control disease causing organisms did not damage most of the plant species tested. These results provide meaningful parameters that will allow research scientist to develop efficacy and spray strategies for these disinfectants. The use of these disinfectants in this manner will minimize use of fungicides while improving disease control.
Technical Abstract: To determine potential toxicity problems associated with foliar applications, chlorine dioxide (ClO2), at 2, 5, 20, 50, 100, 200, 1000, and 2000 and hydrogen dioxide (H2O2), at 900, 2700, 5400, and 10200 ppm, were sprayed five times at 3 day intervals on eight bedding plants and nine shrub species. Injury to leaves and flowers was rated by surface area exhibiting damage using Barrett-Horsfall categories, with marketability being reduced if 4 % surface area was affected. Rates of 2, 5, 20, and 50 ppm ClO2 and 900 and 2700 ppm H2O2 did not damage most plants tested and will likely control most common pathogen propagules. Rates of 100 ppm ClO2 and 5400 ppm H2O2 did not damage most plants tested if sprayed less than four consecutive times and should control some of the more chemical-tolerant pathogens.

A headstrong single mother fights back against a desperate bank robber in this tense thriller from The Marine director John Bonito. Having recently separated from her abusive ex-husband, Lorraine (Maria Bello) is driving home with her young son Chad (Connor Hill) when she pulls into a gas station to grab a quick dinner. That's when Roy (Stephen Dorff) appears in her back seat with a loaded gun, and demands that Lorraine starts driving. Roy is a bank robber who's just pulled off a major heist. He's on his way to pick up his money, but with the cops everywhere he's sure to be caught if he goes it alone. Though Roy assures the terrified mother that he will not harm them if they do what he asks, Lorraine begins to suspect they will both be killed once Roy gets his cash. Realizing that one false move could mean the death of her son yet determined not to be victimized, Lorraine fights fiercely to gain the upper hand against Roy, and see that he pays for his crime.

Fast-moving and witty spoof of Western conventions from one of Hollywood's finest writer/directors of comedy. Grable is the crackshot chanteuse hiding from the law as a schoolmarm (after accidentally shooting a judge in the rear when two-timed by her lover Romero) and getting involved in the numerous shootouts between the local townsmen. It relies a little too much on zany slapstick, but the dialogue is sharp and the Technicolor photography by Harry Jackson adds a pleasant gloss.

OK, this makes sense to me. I have porous hair that wets easily. I normally use SheaMoisture leave-in which I always felt helped me in some weird way get more hold and volume even though it is very conditioning.
So, I recently ran out and didn't get my order in right away so I am having to do without. I decided to try Elucence as a leave-in which has a lot of slip until my order gets here. Though my hair feels wonderful I don't get the same effect as I do with the SheaMoisture.
Then I saw this topic and it totally makes sense to me now why I like the SheaMoisture so much better, I guess it "grabs".

I would like to know the minimal consistency_level to assure absolute consistency with a multiple data center setup for minimal latency. Just as quorum read/writes is the minimal needed to assure consistency with a single data center cluster, what is the equivalent read/write consistency_level value pair with a multi data center environment? I'm thinking... writes at EACH_QUORUM and reads at LOCAL_QUORUM? This will handle when a data center gets partitioned. The write will fail if the dc's get partitioned. If the partition happens after a successful write, then that's ok and a local quorum is all that's needed for a subsequent read that's consistent.

Brown Rice with Mushrooms
Serves 8-10 (as a side)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion (about 2 cups), chopped
3 garlic, chopped
4 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 cups brown rice cooked in Beef Broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons Worchester
Cook the brown rice according to instructions on the box. Just instead of water use beef broth.
Add olive oil to a sauté pan.
Over medium high heat, add the garlic and onions.
Sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms to the sate pan.
Sauté the mushrooms until they are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the Worchester, salt and pepper to the mushrooms.
Stir to combine then add the rice.
Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
Nothing fancy here. Just a simple and hearty side. Mushrooms are especially good with a nice steak. I'm making myself hungry!

My good friend over at The Urban Cowgirl asked me this morning if I was planning on updating....ever. I have a big post coming tomorrow- I wasn't really ready to unleash that monstrosity yet. In the past few weeks I have: gone to the psychiatrist, changed up the meds, had a mental health day, have cried...a lot, slept...a lot, and read books, watched movies, and talked to people that make me happy. I don't know what I would have done without some very key people these last few months- a few of whom I've never met, that let me unload on them and who attend my daily pity parties, all the while bringing cake and sparklers.
Thank you.

The Mother's stance on gender
The writings of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo represent an unprecedented peak in the history of civilization. Not only in the arena of human aspiration, but also in the field of day-to-day action, they offer penetrating guidance and assurance. The Mother's stance on gender, for instance, can be seen in stark contrast to the cacophony that we hear these days by the harebrained. Since a major political formation in
India is under
the clutch of obscurantist and anti-modern sentiments supposedly sanctified by religion
and tradition, Savitri Erans have a bounden duty today to stand for equality
and justice.
No doubt, The Mother has counseled silence for self-culture and self-finding, but at moments of social crisis one needs to be vocal and proactive. Let the message go that The Mother & Sri Aurobindo advocate the most enlightening path for social harmony that is in sync with the trajectory of evolution. Let the world know that their voice is not only politically correct in most part but also distilled from the pristine Judeo-Vedic wisdom. They have encouraged original thinking and excellence in all faculties of life and are staunchly against scriptural support for any kind of chauvinism or superstition.
Despite spread of education and latest modes of communication, it is true that the urge for freedom and self-assertion has not reached the vast and varied population of our country. Democratic ethos has not taken root due to dynastic trends and feudal thinking prevailing on a wide scale. Local languages have become barriers for rural population as far as exposure to healthy discourse at the national level is concerned. However, no other proof needed for being forewarned as to how dangerous the cocktail of old religions and politics can be and hence the imperative for being forearmed with an astute alternative like Savitri Era.

WOOF! My mom added new pictures of me AND she made new pages for my two kitty sisters, Emily and Dusty! Check it out!!
I'm Kody and I'm a 6 year old Border Collie from Maryland, USA. I live with my mom and my two kitty sisters- Dusty and Emily. My favorite things to do are run, run, fetch, run, sniff, run, and swim.
I'm SO EXCITED! I just got a baby pool which was the smartest purchase my mom ever made for me. I keep myself occupied just splashing and jumping in the water, and when somebody throws my ball in the pool I have a blast trying to do an undersea rescue! Until a few weeks ago, I was afraid of the water, I had never gone swimming before- but then my mom showed me how much fun it was! Now, I swim and splash every day, and then usually follow it up with a quick roll in some dirt (like a pig!).

Cesc Fabregas has plenty of reasons to make a speedy recovery - including the prospect of an FA Cup Final at Wembley.
The Spanish midfielder was ruled out for up to four months after suffering medial knee ligament damage during the 1-1 draw with Liverpool on December 21. That means Fabregas should be fit when the FA Cup reaches the Semi-Final stage in mid-April.
Arsenal have plenty to do to get that far of course. They must win three more ties - starting with Cardiff City later this month - but Fabregas hopes to be back to help Arsène Wenger's side finish the job and reach their first Final since English football's showpiece returned to its spiritual home.
"The FA Cup is a very prestigious tournament, one that everybody here wants to win, and that's what we will be trying to do," said Fabregas in his Plymouth programme notes.
"As far as I'm concerned we're always giving everything in this competition for ourselves, for the fans and the Club. Maybe we left it a little bit last year, because we were in the Semi-Finals of the Carling Cup as well as everything else so we had a lot of options, but we are fighting strongly on other fronts this time around too and I'm sure we won't have the same outcome.
"The FA Cup is the first and only trophy that I have won here so far, so I really hope that when I come back we can be ready to play in a Semi Final, and then walking out at Wembley on May 30. But we will have to work hard and not take anything for granted if we want to get there."

Perhaps some parts of the industry continue to struggle with how to monetise all this social media malarkey, but that doesn't stop consumers from embracing it.
From the so-called discovery part of the process, to booking, in-destination activity and what they do when they return home, consumers continue their passion for relying on strangers for advice, stay connected throughout their trips and will happily share (some of) their personal data with travel brands by way of Facebook fandom.
The MDG Advertising blog has a decent infographic to illustrate it all:
About the Writer :: Kevin May
Kevin is senior editor and a co-founder at Tnooz. He was previously editor of UK-based magazine Travolution and web editor of Media Week UK from 2003 to 2005.
He has worked in regional newspapers (Essex Enquirer) and started his career at the Police Gazette at New Scotland Yard in London. He has a degree in criminology, a postgraduate diploma in magazine journalism and publishes his first book - a biography about Depeche Mode - in 2017.
Steve Finlay
Kind of a useless graphic without a sample size. Are we talking 10 people sampled? or 10,000. Good journalists should fact check these things.
Jaclyn Amoroso
Great infographic that highlights opportunities for providers before, during and post holiday. I would like to see some stats specific to the Australian market.
Mike Jirout
It would be interesting to see these statistics for overseas vs. domestic travel. I'd bet that usage is significantly hampered by additional charges incurred outside the US.

Ride the Next Wave of Korean Fusion Food
A few years ago, the Korean taco—a stupendous combination of garlicky charred beef and chili-soy shredded cabbage folded up in a corn tortilla—broke open what was possible for Korean-American food. Now, at their two Seattle restaurants, Joule and Revel, Rachel Yang and her husband, Sief Churchi, are pushing the boundaries in their own way. Both are alums of Alain Ducasse in New York, and at Joule the menu blends French technique with scintillating Korean flavors. Surprises are everywhere—ribeye with kimchi butter, lamb with sesame-leaf emulsion, red grapefruit on lime-scented tapioca pearls. Over at Revel, the room is big, bright, loud, and fun, with a vast seat-yourself counter around the open kitchen. Korean street food is the inspiration here, and you can eat yourself silly ordering short-rib dumplings, smoked pork-belly noodles, slabs of barbecue from whole wood-roasted lambs and pigs, and divine kale-and-walnut skillet pancakes. Yang and Churchi have caught the Korean-fusion torch, and it's blazing.

Janelle Monáe's "fandroids" won't be seeing her on tour as soon as expected.
Three dates on her Electric Lady jaunt have been postponed while the singer is on "mandatory vocal rest," according to a statement posted on her site Tuesday (Nov. 5).
Monáe was billed to hit Anaheim, Calif., the same day she announced the canceled dates, and Arizona and San Diego later in the week. "Starting today, I am under strict doctor's orders for mandatory vocal rest. Not doing so could possibly result in damage to my vocal cords," she said.
"Unfortunately, this diagnosis means I will have to postpone my coming concerts in Anaheim, San Diego and Phoenix, a fact which truly leaves me heartsick and shaken because I live for this: connecting with you and giving you a one of a kind concert experience. But alas, apparently even the most expertly designed android breaks down sometimes and must recharge."
Monáe has yet to announce the rescheduled shows.
The 27-year-old's tour is in promotion of her sophomore effort, Electric Lady, released in September. She will make her return to the stage Nov. 9 in Dallas.

text: WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer sentiment regarding the housing market continues its modestly positive trend, according to results from Fannie Mae's August 2012 National Housing Survey. Supported by the expectation that home prices will rise in the next year and more saying it is a good time to sell, Americans have maintained a cautious but improving view of the housing market and homeownership. However, their stalling household financial expectations and declining economic optimism will likely mean the rate at which the housing market recovers will remain tempered. "Consumer attitudes toward the housing market remain modestly positive, despite signs of increased concern over the direction of the economy," said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist of Fannie Mae. "While the latest results showed a pickup in the share of consumers expecting mortgage rates to rise, reflecting the uptrend of long-term interest rates since mid-July, that may soon change. Friday's disappointing jobs report underpins the gradual nature of this year's housing recovery and supports our view that the muted economic recovery is still subject to downside risk and that additional Fed easing will soon be forthcoming." Survey respondents expect home prices to increase 1.6 percent in the next year, on average, down slightly from the high of 2.0 percent seen in the June results. The number of respondents who say home prices will decline totaled 11 percent, the lowest level since the survey began in June 2010. Eighteen percent say now is a good time to sell, marking the highest level since the survey's inception. Regarding to mortgage rates, 40 percent of those surveyed expect a rise in the next 12 months, an increase of 4 percentage points over July. Meanwhile, the survey showed increasing consumer pessimism about the direction of the overall economy. The number of respondents who believe the economy is headed in the wrong direction ticked up 2 percentage points to 60 percent, the third consecutive rise to the highest reading since January. Those who expect their financial situation to worsen dipped to 13 percent while those expecting their situation to remain the same increased modestly to 41 percent.

Letter to the Editor of the Opelika-Auburn News, October 10, 2011
Here's a recent letter I wrote to the OA News in reply to the unpleasant
Good Morning I got a couple weeks ago from their Oct. 10, 2011 isssue. When I picked up the morning paper, I was greeted with the following big-bold-black-letter headline on the top story:
Well, that's a fine how-do-you-do. The headline, racist-ass slur and all, was actually what the OA News chose to introduce this really heartbreaking AP story, which is actually a very important story about real human beings and their families, not bullshit ethno-legal statuses — and the human suffering that the state government's recent apartheid bill[1] is causing — the kind of suffering that dehumanizing and authoritarian slurs like
Illegals serves systematically to distract from and obliterate. Anyway, I would have put this up sooner, but publishing schedules at the Opelika-Auburn News Opinion/Letters page seem to have been a bit chaotic over the past few weeks; however, my guess is that at this point they are not likely to include the letter. They did include another letter on the same topic.
Charles Johnson
10 October 2011
Editor, Opelika-Auburn News:
I read the top story in Monday's OA News ("Illegals fear kids will be stranded," 10/10/2011) with mixed feelings. I'm glad you chose to highlight this important, heart-breaking issue. No child should be separated from her parents over a piece of government paper, and no parent should have to live with the fear that any traffic stop or chance encounter with police could separate them from their children. Political borders are not worth tearing apart families or throwing children into terrifying emergencies. When Scott Beason says "such concerns weren't raised when legislators were considering the bill," I'm sure he is telling the truth – I don't doubt he never stopped to ask how his sadistic "Papers, Please" law might affect undocumented families, or their children. And I don't doubt his colleagues in the state-house didn't think to mention it to him. But their short-sightedness is a shame on them. It's not a reason to act as if the problem does not exist.
However, while I think this is an vital issue for the OA News to discuss, I was saddened, and embarrassed, to see the top headline in my hometown paper refer to human beings with the dehumanizing and racially-charged slur "Illegals." Actions may be legal or illegal, but people are not. Call them immigrants, undocumented families, parents without papers, our coworkers and neighbors. But they are not "illegals." The i-word reduces human beings to their political status, and silences the real issues in the debate – whether existing immigration laws are even remotely fair or just in the first place. The i-word is offensive and divisive, and doesn't belong in a newspaper headline any more than the n-word or any other ethnic slur. No human being is illegal.
Charles W. Johnson
Auburn, Ala.
I wasn't able to get it in the original draft of the letter — because of a 300-word limit — but now that I'm under no such constraints of length, I will also add that I'd hoped to close off the letter with a rhetorical question, wondering whether the OA News would publish a story with a headline describing the SNCC students as
Illegal Customers or Harriet Tubman as an
Illegal Freedwoman.

May 13, 2013 - I started going to Alex Anthony Salon shortly after it opened. The salon is beautiful and the staff has always been super friendly! The best thing about the salon is the cutting technique they use. Its completely different than any other haircut I have had, and is designed for curly hair. My hair is so much more manageable now and I can "wash and go" for the first time which is amazing!!! I have referred three of my friends there and they all loved it! Alex is the curly hair whisperer ; )

If you want the best backup features then look no further as the NVX is stuffed with them. First up are snapshots, which take point-in-time copies of volumes and can be scheduled to run regularly. The NVX can manage multiple backup jobs itself where it can secure data stored locally or remotely on another share and copy it to a local or remote location and this includes other ReadyNAS appliances.
You get three USB ports for use with external storage devices and printers and the front port has a backup button alongside it. If you've defined backup jobs on the appliance and assigned them to the button then pressing it will run these in sequence. If not, then it will copy the contents of a predefined folder on the appliance to the attached device.
The NTI Shadow software provided with the NV+ gets replaced by a three-user copy of Memeo's Backup Premium but this is for workstations only and will not install on Windows server systems. It functions in the same manner as NTI Shadow as it uses a background task to monitor selected drives and folders and once a full backup has occurred, it secures files as they are modified or newly created.
With the NVX, Netgear introduces the Vault - an online backup service handled by ElephantDrive. Once you've enabled the service on the appliance you can create an account from the Vault web portal and set up backup jobs to copy data from selected shares to the Vault data centre.
It's very simple to use and we created a job to constantly monitor the Backup share on the appliance. Once a full backup had finished we dropped some more files into this folder and after a few seconds they were automatically copied to the Vault. Alternatively, you can create backup jobs for different shares and run them at daily, weekly or monthly intervals.
Usefully, the off-site data can be accessed from any location over the Internet so if your NVX goes belly-up or is nicked you can still get your data back. A search facility is provided in the portal and once you've made your restore selections you can copy them back to a destination of your choice.
Having used an NV+ in the office for a couple of years now, we can say the NVX introduces some welcome new features. Performance sees a big boost and small businesses will appreciate the wealth of backup features and particularly the reasonably priced off-site Vault option.
I have several ReadyNAS NVX units, for home network storage & media streaming, and for the office as well (connected to the Windows AD for security).
If you buy a unit with Terabyte drives, they use Seagate Enterprise hard drives, deemed to be more reliable than standard consumer drives.
Nonetheless, never use RAID0 as that does NOT protect against hard drive failures; use X-RAID2 (which will utilize RAID1 with 2 drives or RAID5 with 3 or 4 drives).

Toe Grab Ban Approved by Ky. Commission
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission July 14 unanimously approved regulations that would prohibit the use of horseshoes with toe grabs on front feet of horses racing in the state.
The regulation, which still must go through a public comment period and be approved by an interim legislative committee, was recommended by the commission's health and safety committee, chaired by Betsy Lavin. It bans toe grabs in excess of two millimeters, which is the standard recommended by Safety Committee of The Jockey Club.
During discussion of the dangers posed by toe grabs, which effectively improve traction and keep horses' hooves from sliding when they contact the racing surface, retired jockey Chris McCarron noted that the shoes "are the single biggest reason why horses fall when they clip heels."
Dr. Foster Northrop, a member of the commission and an equine veterinarian, said toe grabs lead to cannon bone injuries. Northrup said he has, "tried to get my clients to quit using them for years."
While the regulations require several regulatory approvals before going into effect, commission executive director Lisa Underwood said some tracks are already imposing the toe grab limitations for horses racing at their facilities.
Also approved to go through the public comment and legislative approval process were sweeping changes in Thoroughbred and Standardbred regulations, including an increase in licensing fees. The fees, which Underwood said had not been raised since 2002, would go from $100 to $150 annually for Thoroughbred owners, trainers, assistant trainers, exercise riders, and veterinarians. The license fee would be $125 for Standardbred drivers, trainers, trainer/drivers, and assistants.
In other action, the commission:
--Heard an update on initial introduction of an alternative riding crop (or whip) at some tracks within the state. The crops, which are padded and have less potential to cause marks or bruises on horses, were used at Ellis Park during that track's opening weekend of July 11-13. Jeff Johnston, a retired jockey who is a Midwest representative of The Jockeys' Guild, told the commission he was pleasantly surprised at how receptive the riders were to the new equipment.
--Approved an exhibition race during the Turfway Park fall meet that would consist of seven riders from the North American Racing Academy.
--Approved a Quarter Horse race at Turfway Park, which would be the first Quarter Horse race contested over an artificial racing surface.
--Approved the addition of two steeplechase races at Kentucky Downs.
Also during the meeting, chief steward John Veitch reported that trainer Steve Asmussen was fined $250 by Churchill Downs stewards for using abusive language toward an official. Veitch said Asmussen used profanity when talking to an assistant starter in connection with the trainer's successful effort to get a starter of his preference to load Pyro into the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I).
The commission also met in closed executive session for about 90 minutes to discuss ongoing litigation, but no official action was taken and no one could say what the meeting concerned.

Beautalitarian: The interior of the new, more lifestyle-oriented BT-50 looks more suited to a weekend at a camp site than a lifetime on construction sites.
4 October 2010
By MARTON PETTENDY
MAZDA'S next-generation BT-50 ute will come with an interior to match some luxury cars, if this first image of its classy new cabin is any indication.
Seen here for the first time in an official design sketch following the release of the first exterior sketch two weeks ago, the inside of the all-new BT-50 appears to be as stylish as the outside of the redesigned ute.
Mazda Australia says the new BT-50, which will make its global public debut at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney on October 15 before going on sale here in the second half of next year, will offer levels of interior refinement and comfort never before seen on a utility.
In line with its positioning as an "active lifestyle vehicle" that will be marketed as a "realistic alternative to the family wagon and 4x4 SUV", the new BT-50 features a wrap-around cockpit-style dashboard with a dominant V-shaped centre stack that flows into a full-length centre console for the first time.
As the image clearly shows, the new BT-50 also comes with deeply recessed twin-binnacle instrument dials flanking a central LCD screen and, at least on some BT-50 variants, a multi-function three-spoke steering wheel, dual-zone climate-control with twin LCD temperature read-outs and a large colour display screen at the top of the centre stack.
Also evident are heavily bolstered sports front seats, the centre fabric sections of which are matched by the door trims, a large integrated push-button audio head unit and extensive alloy-look interior highlights.
Mazda said the interior of the all-new BT-50 "has been designed to complement its athletic and refined exterior design and offers a comfortable and sporty environment to rival Mazda's current passenger car standard".
"Smooth flowing lines throughout the cabin provide a look never before seen on a utility while the dashboard has been designed to create optimal space for driver and passengers alike," said Mazda.
"An enhanced instrument panel offers improved readability of the driver-oriented meters and advanced Human Machine Interface (HMI) techniques have been adopted throughout the development process, ensuring that operation of all controls and switches is both comfortable and intuitive."
Like the model it replaces, the new BT-50 is the mechanical twin of Ford's Ranger ute, which it will be produced alongside in Thailand from mid-2011.
Both vehicles are based on a full ladder chassis, dubbed 'T6', which was designed and developed for global markets by Ford in Australia.
As we've reported previously, Mazda Australia expects its larger and more refined new ute to play an integral role in its goal to sell 100,000 vehicles annually – and thereby achieve an unprecedented 10 per cent share of Australia's new-vehicle market – by 2013.
Australia is one of the world's largest markets for one-tonne utilities – a fact underlined by Ford and Mazda's decision to stage the global debuts of their respective new utes at next week's Sydney motor show, where Toyota will also reveal an upgraded version of its top-selling HiLux and Volkswagen will unveil its first contender, the all-new Amarok.
As with the new Ranger, expect the BT-50 to emerge first in 'lifestyle'-oriented dual-cab 4x4 guise, powered by a choice of both petrol and diesel engines.

I was wondering if any of you had experience with the webshop called internethobbies?
I placed an order with them a month ago and they haven´t shipped any of my paints, they do not reply to email either. I´ve had them on the phone a couple of times, but they only excuse themselves by saying that they´re waiting for the final couple of Floquil paints before they ship my order.
Lastly, a couple of days ago I asked them to just ship what they had, they haven´t done this either and I´m fearing my money is gone. I´ve opened a dispute through PayPal, but I´m not holding my breath for that to work out.
This sucks ´cause I have all the parts ready to paint but I´m being kept at a standstill without paints, my Fett is almost at the end station so this really irritates and agitates me.:angry:angry:angry

What If I Become Unable To Make Decisions About My Health Care?
You may want to consider advance directives, such as living wills and durable power of attorney.
The living will exercises a patient's right to refuse or accept medical treatment that artificially prolongs his/her life and provides clear instructions regarding the patient's choice of extended medical care.
This document is prepared while the patient is fully competent, in case he/she becomes unable to make this decision at a later time.
The durable power of attorney for healthcare is the right of patients to appoint another person to speak for them if they become incapable of expressing their medical treatment preference. An attorney should devise this document so that it conforms to state laws and court precedents.
Should I Write A Will?
No one likes to think about his or her own mortality, but everyone should have a will to ensure that those who survive you will know how to carry out your wishes. This document should be prepared with your attorney.
What Should Family Members And Friends Keep In Mind?
The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer is a time of stress and may be difficult for family and friends. Here are some tips for family and friends of someone diagnosed with breast cancer:
- Feel free to ask the doctor questions if you accompany your loved one to her appointments.
- Be prepared for changes in your loved one's behavior and mood. Medications, discomforts, and stress can cause her to become depressed or angry.
- Encourage your loved one to be as active and independent, as possible, to help him or her regain a sense of self-reliance and confidence.
- Be realistic about your own needs. Be sure you are sleeping enough, eating properly, and taking some time off for yourself. It is hard to offer much help when you are exhausted. If you take care of your needs, it may be easier to meet the needs of your loved one.
- Don't hesitate to ask other family members and friends for help. They will appreciate the opportunity to help.

These are funds that move in the opposite direction of their respective benchmarks, and as such when a sector, broad market index, country or commodity market is plunging, you can exact your revenge with inverse ETF weapons. There are a host of these funds available to investors, with some of the most popular being the Short S&P 500 (SH), the leveraged ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 (SDS) and the ProShares Short MSCI Emerging Markets (EUM).

Just so you have a good understanding of how this works so it will make sense to you.
The is the stud I am referring to you see in the photo going into that nut on the bottom of the vent frame/front window channel.
That nut is welded to the vent window frame/window channel. The stud is screwed into it. The "washer" looking part to the right of the nut on that stud is part of the stud. You adjust the top of the vent frame in and out at the roof by loosening the nut (it's a lock nut, stopping the stud from turning) on the other end of the stud thru the hole I have described in the previous post. You loosen the nut, then using a screw driver in the slot at the end of the stud you turn it screwing it in or out of that nut you see welded to the vent frame/window channel in your photo. By screwing it in, it pulls the bottom of the vent frame towards the interior frame of the door, thus making the top of the vent go out away from the roof of the car. Screwing out the stud does just the opposite bringing the vent in at the roof.
So you don't want to screw that stud from where it is. You remove the lock nut and the whole thing comes out. When you get it to the top of the door you need to rotate the vent assy so that the stud comes out thru the slot in the top of the door where the glass goes. But it's likely it will need to be adjusted anyway so if it moves it's not a big deal. But you want to start with it close so leaving it as it is is the best way to go.

Education, in a global sense, is a right since we are born. Every experience has a formative effect on the constitution of the human being, in the way one thinks, feels and acts.

How Science Works: Observe the Universe for yourself using a professional robotic telescope
The National Schools' Observatory (NSO) is a major educational website, established by Liverpool John Moores University, to allow schools to make their own observations alongside professional astronomers with the world's largest fully-robotic telescope - the Liverpool Telescope. The NSO also provides educational resources to help with the challenging task of teaching science, technology and mathematics in the classroom environment. It has long been known that astronomy creates a sense of excitement and wonder in pupils of all ages. The NSO taps into that interest to further the pupil's knowledge of science and mathematics, while at the same time improve computer literacy and communications skills, strengthen critical thinking and provide experience the real-world application of science and technology.
History of Science: Newton's Notebook at Trinity College
This is the notebook Newton acquired while he was an undergraduate at Trinity College and used from about 1661 to 1665 (see his inscription). It includes many notes from his studies and, increasingly, his own explorations into mathematics, physics and metaphysics. It was judged 'Not fit to be printed' by Newton's executor and was presented to the Library by the fifth Earl of Portsmouth in 1872.

Learners in the Driving Seat – 7th Annual EDEN Research Workshop
ODS Stands Up for Teachers!
Through the creative use of new technologies, effective content organization, and learning processes that respect local school problems, Open Discovery Space tries to address the challenge of the "social appropriation of knowledge" by empowering all school audiences, but mainly teachers, pupils and parents. The approach to be followed contributes to the development of self-esteem, an increased "sense of belonging", and an improved perception of one's own capacity to solve problems and contribute to the "construction of the surrounding community". These factors have been clearly related to the development of "social capital" and a greater degree of conviviality and peace. The school component and the community dimension of the project place an emphasis on developing certain key values and attitudes that play an important role in this process, such as the capacity of team work and a spirit of collaboration as a way of developing learning networks and communities. The main outcome of this process will be the Open Discovery Space Virtual European Schools, strong networks of practitioners working in similar thematic areas, that will be the driving force of the portal's evolution after the end of the project.
The aim of this social meta-structure is to involve all the teachers participating in the pilots and have interest in specific thematic areas into a continuous process of experience exchange (about the challenges encountered in implementing change in their own environments) and of continuous collaborative learning focused on the further development of their change management skills, focusing on the field of their interest. The Open Discovery Space portal and its services will support the active engagement of the members of the community, it will support collaborative learning processes within the specific target groups; the design of processes guaranteeing the sustainability of the community across groups of teachers (locally, regionally, nationally and across different countries); the launch and facilitation of the Virtual Schools community; and the continuous assessment of value generated at the individual as well as at the community level. At the same time the Open Discovery Space portal will be the access point to unique resources and tools available for use in multiple domains, implementing a range of instructional approaches for different levels of teacher's competence. From the project side these communities will drive the content organization (classification, metadata, search engines), from the users' side this will result in improved user-generated vocabularies for expressing needs for resources that will help composing concrete example uses of resource-based learning. Open Discovery Space encourages you to find out more and get involved by clicking here.

Gina Rinehart changed the constitution of her family's mining company, Hancock Prospecting, so her children would lose their shares to her if she was removed as head of the family's multibillion-dollar trust, a court has heard.
In the latest revelation to come from the continuing court battle between Australia's richest person and two of her children over control of the Hope Margaret Hancock Trust, the NSW Supreme Court heard on Tuesday that Mrs Rinehart allegedly used her controlling stake in Hancock Prospecting to put a ''poisoned pill'' into its constitution in March 2006.
The two dissenting children - John Hancock and Bianca Rinehart - claim this took the form of an amendment stating that if Mrs Rinehart were replaced as the head of the family trust by anyone other than another member of the Rinehart/Hancock family, the remaining shares in the company that were held by the trust would immediately be put up for sale.
The pair want Mrs Rinehart replaced by an ''independent trustee''.
The court heard that, under the amended constitution, Mrs Rinehart would have the first option to buy these shares because she was the controlling member of the company. She would then own 100 per cent of the shares, leaving nothing for her children.
''The changes she made to the constitution of Hancock Prospecting prevent my clients from ever taking distribution of shares in Hancock Prospecting and prevent her from ever being removed as trustee,'' counsel for Mr Hancock and Bianca Rinehart, Christopher Withers, said. He said the changes were ''void'' and ''invalid'' and represented a ''breach of trust''.
But counsel for Mrs Rinehart, David Russell, QC, said the amendment was made in the interest of all those with a stake in the company.
''We would say that this was part of a scheme to put in place agreements that would ultimately be a source of wealth beyond imagining for all participants,'' he said.
Justice Patricia Anne Bergin upheld an application for Hancock Prospecting and its joint venture company, Hope Downs Iron Ore, to join the court action as defendants.
Court documents released during the hearing also reveal allegations by Mr Hancock and Bianca Rinehart that last year Mrs Rinehart told the Tax Office she had given each of them $398,206 as their share of the income from the trust, which they had not received.
They say they may be forced to pay tax on income they did not get.
It is alleged Mrs Rinehart said in two letters she was entitled to keep the money for ''costs she has incurred in defending herself against the plaintiffs' malicious and ill-advised litigation'' and to repay loans she says she made to the trust.
