A Customizable, Modular Tablet On Windows eight - Hands On With The Kupa UltraNote
The Business Kupa not too long ago launched their strong tablet - Kupa Ultranote, working around the working process Windows eight. The tablet has a 10-inch display, a potent processor Intel Core i3, i5 or i7, SSD capability of 64 and 128 GB, and 8 GB of memory. Contains a set of HDMI and USB 2.0 in the level of two pieces, a 5-megapixel main and 2-megapixel front camera.
IPS-display of tablet Kupa Ultranote supports operating that has a stylus and includes a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, and on top of that, realize up to ten simultaneous touches. Also it is possible to noticed some extra add-ons, such as, a docking station by using a keyboard that can be linked at any time to deliver the results together with the device.
The tablet supports a broad array of wireless technologies that allow the user to remain connected. Developers have built to the module Wi-Fi, Bluetooth three.0/4.0, 3G, 4G LTE, RFID and NFC.As described in advance of, the tablet can connect for the Online by way of 3G or Wi-Fi, depending on model in the gadget.
Kupa Ultranote attracts consideration not only with it rather higher perfomance but with style capabilities also (such as the rremovable battery, one example is). Tablet can perform together with an lively stylus to identify as much as 1024 amounts of pressure. The choice of rechargeable battery ought to also be mentioned, because it permits Kupa tablet get the job done as much as 7 hours with out charging. And its super easy to alter it.
A handful of months immediately after the release of the 10.1-inch Tablet Computer Kupa UltraNote X15, equipped matrix Total HD, a highly effective processor and runs on Windows eight Pro, went on sale. It can be alreade offered for purchase, selling price starts from 1099$. But wait, for this dollars you likewise can obtain on your own some Android based mostly tablet, or say some middle class game Pc. That in this case provides the manufacturer? The device has highly effective processor from Intel - Core i5-3317U, also to your 10 inch display with Full HD resolution. Memory - eight GB capacity reliable state drive - 64 GB. Touch screen with the tablet supports 10 points multi-touch, and it is also equipped with digitizer.
Kupa Ultranote X15 tablet is pretty thin device - twelve mm, and it weights only 770 grams. Yet another interesting nuance is it is compatible with a few sorts of docking stations and specialized equipment. This kind of type of the elements are: a slot for SD format memory cards, Ethernet and VGA, ports, USB, supplemental battery plus a a docking station which features a hardware keyboard. There can be another add-ons which incude a plug-side panels, as well as a number of distinctive ports or modules, such as scanner, gadget to boost the video and even a projector.
But you have got to understand that a number of these "modules" are within the stage of creating and manufacturing up to now, so if you should wan't to acquire this tablet for exact functional, you must be informed about this.
Which is not all. At its discretion, the consumer can order a much more costly gadget - 3517U, outfitted with a processor Intel Core i7, challenging drive to 128 GB in addition to a modem 3G. The value of this package is ? 1,599.
In the event you wan't for lots more details for this, you can receive it the following kupa ultranote

I was in Uzbekistan, which borders Afghanistan, on a long-planned trip through Central Asia when news of the World Trade Centre tragedy broke - and I still am. Despite reports highlighting fears about the safety of countries around Afghanistan and panicked emails from friends, nothing has so far changed and I have not heard of any Westerner, expatriate or tourist, in the area being targeted in any way.
In the turquoise dome-studded tourist oases of Uzbekistan I meet with shrugs when asking locals if they are worried about retaliatory bombings on its neighbour. 'Afghanistan is a bad country,' the man at the internet café tells me.
In the 150-year-old medressa (Islamic theological college) recently converted into a hotel in the desert citadel of Khiva, I watched events unfold with a growing gaggle of tourists. Everyone was shocked but no one changed their plans or expressed any personal fears. An American man flew out the next morning on his way to Kyrgyzstan and a New Zealand couple, off to Turkmenistan and then Iran, seemed more concerned about what was appropriate to wear than being a Westerner in that part of the world.
Indeed, I had been in Iran two weeks earlier and it had seemed that everyone I spoke to there wanted to be American, with the face of Leonardo DiCaprio appearing on everything from carpets to cakes.
However, feeling that I should be doing something, I go to register at the British Embassy when I reach Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent a week later.
There with the same intention are two Australians and a New Zealander. 'You're all coming out of the woodwork now,' cries the chatty vice-consul. Cautious as ever, the For eign Office's website suggests there may be a heightened risk, particularly in the Fergana Valley area bordering Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, where there have previously been some incidents - including the kidnapping of Western climbers - in remote areas by militant groups.
Outside the American Embassy a small but steady flow of people are signing the condolence book and rows of large floral arrangements are laid out on the lawn.
It appears to be life as usual inside. One man is desperate to get to agricultural college in the United States 'so I can be of economic use to my country upon my return', another is being told he cannot have US citizenship simply on the grounds of having once played host to an American.
Tourists meanwhile sip green tea and eat shashlyk (a lamb dish) at low tables around the shady Labi-Hauz plaza in Bukhara; move on to gaze up at the ornate Kalon minaret, which so awed Genghis Khan that he let it stand; and are lured in by the carpet sellers that inhabit every nook and cranny of the ornate triumvirate of medressas which make up Samarkand's Registan.
The only reaction I experienced was when a taxi driver mimed a plane smash with his hands. 'America,' he giggled, but more out of incredulity than malice, I think.
The first question I am always asked is what country I am from, but most people appear to have a very hazy idea of the world beyond Russia and America. This insularity and the sheer lack of news must surely be contributing to the muted response. Ten years after Uzbekistan declared independence it still has the same leader as in Soviet times and President Islam Karimov exercises tight social control. He has been quick and harsh in repressing any violent - well, any - Islamic fundamentalism, and there is always a visible police presence in stations and streets.
Karimov has apparently warned the police off tourists amid a drive to attract visitors - of the rich, tour-group kind - to the 'old Silk Road', the ancient trading routes between China and the West. Uzbekistan, with many of this trail's main centres and most dazzling monuments, has its sights firmly on the tourist dollar - Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand are scrubbed and reconstructed to within an inch of their previous lives.
But of course recent events may leave this vision and burgeoning industry in tatters. In Uzbekistan a tourist agency tells me that more than 50 per cent of its bookings have been dropped. For those tourists here, however, it is sightseeing as usual.

A bridesmaid was knocked out by the best man during a bust-up at the wedding reception.
Leanne Edmunds, 23, lay unconscious for several minutes surrounded by horrified guests, a court heard yesterday.
She was flattened by 43-year-old Paul Allen while still wearing her bridesmaid gown.
Allen had been told to mind his own business after interrupting an argument between Leanne and boyfriend Gareth England.
The couple walked away but Allen followed and ended up scuffling with Gareth on the floor, said prosecutor Rachel Knight.
Moments later Allen approached Leanne on a lawn.
Miss Knight said: "Without any provocation he punched her to the eye and she fell to the ground.
"The next thing she remembered was waking up on the floor with people putting coats on her.
"Her eye was bleeding and she was dazed and confused."
Allen, of Hirwaun, Rhondda, who has a history of violence, told police he was trying to calm the row between the couple at the party near Merthyr Tydfil.
He admitted assault at the town's crown court and was given a three-month suspended jail term and ordered to do 150 hours' unpaid work.
He must pay Leanne £250 compensation.

If a hypothetical tabloid owned by, say, Richard Mellon Scaife, had a cover story with scurrilous accusations about Joe Biden, do you think Chris Matthews would be waving it about on camera and Keith Olbermann citing it? Neither do I. But if for some reason they did, would they possibly fail to mention the mag's ownership?
But Matthews saw fit—not once but twice—to display the cover of Us magazine, with its story "Babies, Lies and Scandals" about Sarah Palin. Olbermann alluded to it as well. And who is the owner of Us? Jann Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone . . . and a big-time donor to Barack Obama. How big a donor? You can view his list of contributions here, with an image after the jump.
Now it's true that Matthews discounted the "lies" allegation. But why give currency to dubious accusations—by a magazine whose stock-in-trade is celebrity gossip—by displaying them repeatedly on a national news show? There was no suggestion that Us, unlike the National Enquirer in John Edwards' case, had done any significant independent reporting. This is apparently scandal-mongering, pure and simple. And of course, neither Matthews nor Olbermann mentioned the Wenner connection.
View edited video here.
During the 5 PM EDT edition of Hardball, Matthews discussed the matter with Newsweek's Howard Fineman and Roger Simon of Politico.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let's take a look at this. This is of course a very popular, well, you see it at the checkout counter at Safeway, that's where I see it all the time, Us Weekly, we've got a cover of this available, a better picture than I can show you, but let's take a look at this cover. This is probably not the kind of PR that John McCain envisioned in winning the regular folk.
Matthews and Fineman went on to challenge the "lies" allegations. Olbermann, chatting later with David Greogry, didn't. The Countdown host began by getting off what could prove to be the evening's biggest laugh line.
KEITH OLBERMANN: As much as we try to steer this away from Governor Palin, I imagine that this is continuing to be a matter of interest and perhaps concern, certainly of interest, to senior Republicans.
Stop, Keith. You're killing me.
And a bit later, after citing McCain campaign manager Rick Davis saying the campaign is about a composite view that people have of the candidate.
OLBERMANN: How does a candidate's first choice—the vice-president, the vice-presidential candidate—winding up on a tabloid magazine with words "scandals" and "pregnancies" and all the rest of it, how does that help that composite picture that Mr. Davis is talking about?
To his credit, Gregory sought to restore some perspective.
DAVID GREGORY: Well because I think there is an assumption and a hope that maybe some of the tabloid aspects of it don't creep into what is the impression that people take away.
Creep, indeed.
Note: Greg Pollowitz of National Review was already reporting the Us/Wenner/Obama connection back in June. If the mag is slamming Sarah now, it was mooning over Michelle then.

A fetching Royal swaddle seen in a candid photograph of Prince George drove the world absolutely, shamefully, guano crazy on Monday.
George, the long-awaited Royal Baby, was carried from the hospital to the Royal Car (yes, Royal everything) but before he was loaded in, photogs managed to get a picture of him. He was wrapped in a nice looking swaddle with tiny birds on it, and this caused mothers-to-be the world over to lose their marbles.
So these expectant mothers searched the Internet, Pinterest, everything, looking for the maker of this adorable swaddle. It was a race to be first (well, second) to wrap one's own baby in the same Royal swaddle that snugly secures a Windsor.
Well, it didn't take long. Frantic searchers found aden + anais of Brooklyn N.Y. who make the blanket and flooded their servers, crashing their website twice, and filling 7,000 orders (a 600 percent increase in the sale of that particular item).
"It was pretty instant, from the moment that he made his debut," company founder-CEO Raegan Moya-Jones told ABC. "Within an hour we were getting slammed. Our servers crashed within the first four hours, and again the following day."
The blanket is part of the Jungle Jam Swaddle Classic Muslin Collection which retails for $49.95. You get a four-pack. It is currently out of stock, but the company has rushed an order of about 10,000 which will arrive in August.
If you just can't wait until then (like, you're about to give birth) aden + anais list their retailers and encourage you to find the swaddle that way. Otherwise, you could buy any of the other swaddles they offer on their site.
Moya-Jones said that they've been talking with Duchess Kate about other designs, but won't reveal which because she doesn't want to "create another frenzy."
All this says to me is that Prince George is now officially The Simpsons. If he wears, touches or breathes on anything your business manufactures or sells, you're going to "make it." Expect a lot more of this, and not just while George is a baby. He has a ton or adorable, trend-setting years before he reaches awkward puberty (Royal braces!) and, apparently, thousands of new babies aging along with him.
If you want to back-order the Royal swaddle, you can do so here.

"In this economy, some facility owners have been forced to take a more fiscally conservative approach, supplementing private sessions with group or Matwork-based programs," explains Lindsay G, Merrithew, President & CEO of Merrithew™. "However some owners are still hesitant to implement Pilates into their facilities as a whole because of the perception that this can only be done with large, expensive equipment. But this is not the case."
Many facilities that implemented successful Pilates businesses have established their offerings as a specialty program by charging members extra for the classes outside of the Group Exercise programs. With your own Pilates studio you can offer internal and external instructors part-time or full-time positions according to the studios' demand. Facility owners will ultimately increase non-dues revenue, while instructors have the ability to earn more income. Consider recruiting and training your existing quality personal trainers and group exercise instructors to be Pilates instructors. Personal trainers can subsidize their current client base with alternative training methods and grow their personal training clientele.
Much of the growth in the area of Matwork-based exercise is due to professional trainers gaining knowledge of and confidence in the results they are achieving with their clients. In fact, highly skilled instructors can bring a plethora of exercise variety to your facility and cater to those who may feel intimidated to try Pilates. Qualified instructors will also look out for the safety of your clients, which is pertinent to the owner and exerciser.
By implementing Pilates mat programming, a new method of exercise can be introduced to members. Even the most basic of moves can be intensified by adding props. High-quality Mat-based training appeals to a wide audience because they're affordable and can cater to various target markets. Courses can be tailored for Golf or Athletic Conditioning, Pre- or Post-Natal clients, Active Aging, or those looking for post-rehab with Pilates.
"We're seeing the trend that more and more facility owners are offering lower prices than their regularly scheduled programs in their Pilates studios so they can bring in more patrons watching their budgets and its working," adds Merrithew. "Such facilities are also realizing the benefits of creating extra attention to their location which is bringing more people through the doors. By offering mat-based programs, clubs are offering members something different with the opportunity to streamline their target demographics."
Pilates also makes a facility more marketable. Just as Pi- lates training enhances an instructor's professional skills and increases their client base – clubs benefit from the fact that their trainers are unique and in-demand. Offering Pilates also benefits your existing staff because Pilates classes provide instructors with the opportunity to teach without being physical themselves. Since many trainers conduct various classes it's beneficial for them to concentrate on other people's technique and focus rather than their own as is done when teaching aerobics classes. Pilates provides instructors with more opportunities to obtain high-caliber education and training so they can advance their career and qualifications in the marketplace.
Pilates gives clients a better self-awareness and understanding of their bodies and capabilities. That in itself is a great advantage from a safety aspect. As instructors we want to feel confident that our clients exercise safely when they're following the exercise programs we prescribe for them.
The beauty of Pilates mat-based classes is that they are suitable for every body: young, old, athletic, and so on. In contrast to other classes offered at most gyms, trainers are able to work with a wide variety of body types and fitness levels in the same class while they all enjoy a non-competitive form of exercise. Pilates also works the smaller muscles in the body that often get neglected in other forms of exercise. You create a better balance of muscle strength and endurance and reduce the risk of injury as the body becomes more efficient. By reducing the risk of injury not only will your client be able to continue their routines better, it will keep them coming to the gym for longer and more often. The more you see your clients, the better their performance. The longer they will keep their membership, the more they will keep coming to see you. It's a win-win situation.

Date: Sun, 15 May 2005 15:50:55 +0200

You can't blame the testing companies for giving "wrong" results. They
do actually the best they can. Multicopy markers are a very complex and
undiscovered issue. You cannot conclude from a single peak that people
have a deletion in a multicopy marker. From the experience of other
people's alleles it is still more likely that they have 4 copies at
DYS464 and 2 copies at the duplicated markers. But in deed they could
also have 8 or 16 copies. Biology is sometimes more complex than we think.
To be conservative, all testing companies should stop reporting
multicopy markers at all, because they could possibly give wrong
results. There are enough other single copy markers, that can be used.
We don't depend on them.
But I don't think that this is the right solution, because there's much
more behind multicopy markers than only a fascinating curiosity of
nature: The most interesting side effect from duplicated DNA regions is
Recombination effects are still poorly understood, but some known
parameters show us, that recombinational changes in DNA sequences may be
a great opportunity to learn more about our ancestry. The frequency of
recombination is slower than STR "slippage" mutations, but quicker than
SNP mutations. That means, that if we learn how recombinational DNA
changes work, we could find out more about the "time-gap" between STRs
and SNPs.
I recently posted some interesting facts about DYS464 patterns with
separated allele calling. Meanwhile I found a (very) few exeptions, that
show that the 3 x "C" & 1 x "G" rule is not 100% strict. This shows us,
that recombination effects really happen.
Just to give an imaginary scenario how a recombination change _could_
Let's say we have 4 differrent DYS464 alleles: 13,14,15,16. If we have
some strange mutation in a coding region that is associated with the
"14" allele, the man would be infertile. But by chance one stem cell in
the germline has been able to to "repair" the defect by simply copying
one of the "backup" copies, let's say the region with the allele 15. Now
the man is fertile again and can be the founder of a whole population.
His DYS464 fingerprint is now reduced by one variety (13,15,15,16), but
no STR slippage mutation has happened. A similar reduction of variant
DYS464 alleles could have happened in haplogroup N, but a bigger region,
covering 2 or 3 DYS464 alleles has been involved. Then there would be
still 4 alleles in DYS464.
I hope recombination will soon be better understood. This gives us a new
tool to discover human migrations and more...

While Spain might have more influence over the direction of Australian interest rates in the period ahead, the official March quarter capital expenditure, or "capex", survey published on Thursday shows that one key driver of home-grown demand is doing well.
After the weak December quarter, the Reserve Bank is looking for an acceleration of activity in the first half of 2012 to get economic growth back to about trend this year. The prerequisite for that is strong mining investment, which has become a critical engine for the growth of domestic demand.
Business investment, as measured by the survey, grew by a better than expected 6 per cent in real terms during the quarter. More importantly, the survey of investment intentions confirms that business intends to finance a further increase in massive spending on new plant and equipment planned for 2012-13.
Anticipated nominal spending in the coming financial year is 23 per cent higher than the same survey taken a year ago to determine likely spending in 2011-12.
The investment boom will again drive the economy's growth in the coming financial year, and of course mining will drive the investment boom. Spending expected by the mining industry is a whopping 44 per cent higher than a year ago, while spending planned by manufacturers is only 2 per cent higher, and service sector investment plans are a relatively modest 4 per cent up.
The survey also provides an unusually detailed glimpse of what politicians love to call the patchwork economy.
For example, mining. Its domestic customers and its suppliers now account for about 85 per cent of all business investment spending in the March quarter, according to the Bureau of Statistics' trend data. Mining alone accounts for just over half the spending in the March quarter. Its main domestic customers – the primary metal producers, the electricity and gas industries and the petroleum and coal products manufacturers – account for another 7 per cent. And its biggest domestic suppliers – construction, transport, storage, wholesaling and business services – spend another 23 per cent.
Of course, not all the investment in these industries is related to the resources boom. The electricity industry is replacing ageing capital stock.
But the data also tell the story of the other side of the massive structural change now underway in the Australian economy. Retail investment tells a particularly sad story, with investment peaking at $1.3 billion in the March quarter of 2009 – a disaster for many of those who were committed to the projects before the financial crisis. And there was to be little relief as households reverted to historically more normal rates of saving and the retail industry suddenly realised that was too big for the new era of consumer caution.
Among the manufacturers, the distress experienced by the car makers and their suppliers has been widely publicised. Investment by the transport equipment sector peaked at the start of 2006 when the industry was already under pressure from the high Australian dollar that, in real terms, was more than a third above its level at the start of the decade and 14 per cent above its then post-float average.
The ever-increasing pressure from the mining boom, the rising tide of cars made in low-cost developing economies and finally the financial crisis, saw investment fall to less than a third of its 2006 peak. The subsequent partial recovery has been purchased to a large extent with government subsidies, leaving a large question mark over the industry's future.
Construction is an important source of demand for Australian manufacturers, including the producers of fabricated metal, wood products and non-metallic minerals (glass, bricks, concrete, ceramic products and so on).
But while they have benefited from the mining investment boom, they also have been victims of consumer caution, tight bank credit, reduced immigration and a boom-bust in commercial building, particularly in Brisbane.
April's 8.7 per cent fall in dwelling approvals shows that recession in that part of the construction industry continues unabated.

It's pretty unlikely to happen, but it fixes the problem of accidentally modifying a foreach index or variable. Just because it's in a variable doesn't mean the compiler can't treat it as an rvalue.

We stayed here for 3 months in these three months we ate there about 5 times hopping that the help would get better! Needles to say they did NOT! And we will never go back again, which is sad because there food was really good there staff is the problem!!!
Wow a nice RV RESORT03/12/2008
The staff is friendly and helpful. Very pet friendly, and yes, you are required to clean-up after your pet. Nice fireplace out on the patio by the Crest Bar and Grill (on-site) which is a great place to eat. The facilities are clean and well maintained.
One problem I discovered is the men's shower room has a drainage problem in the shower dressing area (not in the showers themselves). Appears the contractor did a poor job on leveling the floor and put no drains in except in the shower stalls. There is one other problem I have discovered.
The park used fine gravel for the parking areas. This gravel tracks into your car, and into your RV. It also tracks into the the showers so the floor always seems dirty. There is constantly a fine layer of grit on the floor. I would suggest wearing a watershoe or sandlewhen going to the showers.
Have visited, not stayed12/20/2007
This is a new park so for the time being best visited in the cooler months. During this time period the pool and spa are heated, and they have an outdoor fireplace. The grounds are well keep. The staff seems very friendly and helpful. I will update with more once I have stayed there.

It's easily the most anticipated movie of the season, and "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" just unleashed a 60-second trailer for television.
In the clip, Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen embarks on her victory tour with Josh Hutcherson's Peeta Mellark, though there seems to be some romantic tension in the air between them.
With his upcoming film "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" nearing its highly anticipated premiere, Lenny Kravitz scored the cover spot of Ocean Drive magazine's October 2013 issue.
Given the massive success of the first "Hunger Games" flick, millions of fans waited patiently for a sneak peek of the second installment "Catching Fire."
And the wait is finally over after Liam Hemsworth presented the first trailer at tonight's (April 14) 2013 MTV Movie Awards.
Given the massive success of the first "Hunger Games" flick, millions of fans are waiting with bated breath for a sneak peek of the second installment "Catching Fire."
And it seems the wait is almost over- Liam Hemsworth will attend the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on April 14th to unveil the first official teaser trailer for all the world to see.
Building excitement for the highly-anticipated sequel, two new portraits for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" were released on Tuesday (March 5).
In one shot, Woody Harrelson's character Haymitch Abernathy poses with his hands and ankles crossed in a chair. The other shows Lenny Kravitz's Cinna looking regal in a plush red chair with his legs crossed as he looks into the distance.
She's no stranger to odd behavior, and Demi Moore was at it again at the SoHo Beach House in Miami, Florida last night (December 5).
The "Charlie's Angels" chick showed up at the Chanel Beachside BBQ for Art.sy where she brazenly flirted up a storm with "Fly Away" singer Lenny Kravitz.
He's best known for his unique flavor of 1970s-infused rock and roll, but Lenny Kravitz is actually a man of many skills.
The "Are You Gonna Go My Way" hitmaker has signed on for the lead role of Marvin Gaye in an upcoming biopic.
As the much anticipated film "The Hunger Games" gears up to hit theaters this week, we're getting to know the characters a little more and even delving into how Lenny Kravitz prepared to play a bisexual role in the action packed flick.
Many fans of the book have wondered if Kravitz's character, Cinna, is gay or not because he is a stylist and fashion designer for the main character, Katniss.

Lady Gaga's Boyfriend Taylor Kinney Says He Wants to Be a Dad, Get Married
Taylor Kinney is revealing his future plans with pop star girlfriend Lady Gaga.
The Chicago Fire star opened up in a recent interview with British newspaper The Sun about his dream family. "I think I'd be a good dad, it would be a pleasure," Kinney gushed.
"I'd love it — and I'm in my 30s now," the 31-year-old added. "I do want to give mom grandchildren, of course."
"My mom wants me to get married, and have children of course," Kinney explained.
The American actor first met Gaga, 26, in 2011 while filming her music video for "You and I" and have since bonded over their similar upbringings.
Kinney and his three brothers were raised in Pennsylvania by his dental hygienist, single mother, Pam, who he said has been an influential role model.
He said, "I look up to a strong woman, maybe that's why I fell for Gaga … She works incredibly hard and is very strong and inspirational like Mom, with a great work ethic."
Yet, the two have been able to manage their long distance relationship.
"I use all the money I make on flights to see the people I love," Kinney revealed. "If I spent it on fancy cars, homes and material stuff I wouldn't be able to do that.
"I have the freedom to see the people I care about — my girlfriend and my family."
Do you see wedding bells in the couple's future? Weigh in below.

Look, at the end of the day there's quite a few designers reproducing classic fatigue pants and polka-dot shits, but there's something indefinably special about EG, that allows it to transcend fashion boundaries in a special way. Formula One I've featured several of StyleForum's most popular sports threads (soccer, you're on deck!), and for today we have Formula One, everyone's favorite racing sport (minus a large segment of the American Midwest who are mired in NASCAR, yuck). I don't really know a lot about Formula One, so I can't say much, but I do know there's a lot of crossover between the high end watch thread and car sponsors. Woo! Your Blog Sucks Sometimes we talk about excellent blogs – your opinion on the Satorialist is somewhat irrelevant in this context – but we should also spare a moment to recognize how many downright terrible men's clothing blogs are out there. Thus, this thread. Enjoy.

When Kizmet Knox graduated from high school, she planned to put college off for a couple of years to work as a hair stylist. Then, life events forced her to wait until she was in her 30s to continue her education. Knox had her first baby by age 19. She then had a second child and also found herself raising her three younger sisters when her mother became ill.
After her mother died, Knox found her way to Georgia Perimeter College. She grew up near the Decatur Campus, so she always felt a connection to the school. It seemed natural that she would enroll in GPC.
Knox found GPC's instructors and administrators to be very welcoming. "If you are scared or you are intimidated about coming to college, Georgia Perimeter puts all those fears to rest," said Knox.
She served in GPC's Student Government Association where she worked through budget hearings and planned countless campus events. Working with the SGA budget gave Knox the discipline and structure she needed to attend classes every day.
Knox graduated from GPC with an associate degree in communications. Thanks to GPC's Transfer Admission Guarantees, Knox is pursuing her bachelor's degree in speech communications at Georgia State University. After that, she plans to go to law school.
Oh, and Knox's younger sister is enrolled at GPC, too.

The lower Zambezi canoe safaris
Our Lower Zambezi canoe safaris start from Kariba, 600km downstream of Victoria Falls. We paddle through the silent, deep gorges below Kariba. Then beyond the languid but wild mainstream of Mana Pools onto the most remote safari areas – Sapi, Chewore and the Mupata Gorge.
We divide the Lower Zambezi River into 3 canoeing stretches
Kariba to Chirundu – the tame stretch
- The first is a 3 day leg of about 56km from Kariba to Chirundu run only on the Zimbabwean shore. This safari takes you through a very scenic stretch in the Kariba Gorge.
- The game is not extensive. With the exception of hippos and crocodiles the chance of seeing elephant, buffalo, cats etc. is slim.
- There's a very interesting historical aspect to this section with the discovery of the Ingombe Ilede archaeological site in 1960. General literature is thin on the subject but it's well worth the research. Birdlife is very good with Black Eagle nests in the gorge. We've had a few sketchy reports of Taita Falcon sightings near Nyamasowa through the years.
- The first day is spent canoeing through the gorge, and with the exception of birdlife and sounds from a few fishing villages en route, it's often a very eerie experience. The second and third days we see the Zambian and Zimbabwean escarpments receed as the floodplain widens on both sides of the Zambezi. We encounter pods of hippo pods shortly after we pass through the gorge.
- If you're short on time and keen for a taste of canoeing the Zambezi River then this is an excellent "camping" option. The overnight sites are on islands in the middle of the river. Departure dates are unfortunately limited on the Gorge Safari.
Chirundu to Mana Pools – most popular
- The second canoe stretch is a 4 day leg of about 70km from Chirundu to Mana Pools. This is the most popular "full participation" stretch on the lower Zambezi River. We run it on both the Zambian and Zimbabwean shorelines. The game is superb (hippo pods will be encountered within about 10 minutes of launch) especially in the dry season. Birdlife is good year round but best in the wet season from November to April. On the camping trips, overnight stops are on both the mainland and on islands. One of the Zambian outfits offers a unique "cultural" extension to this safari.
- The safari passes along the Urungwe Safari Area and goes into the Mana Pools World Heritage Site on the Zimbabwean bank. Here we encounter the most game and birdlife on the entire Zambezi River from source to sea.
- Mana Pools is essentially closed from November to April with most of the outlying roads completely impassable so the only way to viably experience the area in the wet season is by canoe.
- The Mana Pools shoreline from Ruckomechi down to Chikwenya on the Zimbabwean bank offers the best game viewing. The best way to explore this section exclusively is on one of the deluxe canoe safaris over four days. They're "backed up" trips with a full camp crew in attendance.
Mana Pools to Kanyemba – the wild stretch
- The third canoe stretch is a 6 day "full participation" safari of about 120km from Mana Pools to Kanyemba on the Mozambican border. Game around Mana Pools is excellent but thins out downstream especially when we reach the Mupata Gorge. Scenery is dramatic and the rare Taita Falcon can be found here.
- The trip runs through the Sapi and Chewore Safari Areas within the World Heritage Site. On to Kanyemba and the upstream side of Caborra Bassa dam and the border with Mozambique.
- In reality only four and a half days is spent canoeing and the last day is a 7 hour (hot and dusty) drive back into Kariba. This stretch will appeal if you enjoy a real taste for adventure in a true wilderness area. You get to experience the full diversity of the lower Zambezi River from the open flood plains of Mana Pools and Sapi to the confines of Mupata Gorge and the Chewore Safari Area.
Best time for Lower Zambezi canoe safaris…
- lower Zambezi canoe safaris from Kariba to Chirundu and Chirundu to Mana are available throughout the year
- the lower reaches from Mana through Sapi and Chewore are only accessed during the dry months from late May to October
- May and June – mildest weather and clearest skies – our "Champagne Months"
- July to September – high season – book well in advance especially if you're planning on a group trip. We take a maximum of 8 guests per trip.
- October and November – devilishly hot, the game is at it's very best and the migrant birds are in the Valley – our "suicide months"
- November to March – wet season. Road access to the lower stretches of the Zambezi is nigh impossible. The only option is to run the Kariba and Chirundu to Mana "participation" trips.
Choose the right canoe safari "style"
We do it 3 ways – fairly tame, adventure style, intrepid…
Fairly tame: A 4 day shoreline trail from Ruckomechi down to Chikwenya. It's the full Mana Pools stretch in the World Heritage Site. The trip starts from Ruckomechi, the Wilderness Safaris' 4 star premier lodge with first class hosting. You move onto fairly basic backed up camps for 3 nights. They're 1 star. Encounters en route, land, water and otherwise are 5 star.
Adventure: We start from Kariba or Chirundu to do 4 or 6 days worth of canoeing. Your 19 foot Canadian canoe is well laden with provisions and camping kit. Your paddle will hold a mosquito net over a warm bedroll en route. In the wet season you'll even have a small tent to keep you dry. Irrespective of season you probably won't sleep much! The days are full and active, you'll see a million stars at night.
Intrepid: We can include premier lodging at the start and end of this bucket list experience but we get back to basics on these canoe safaris. We delight in doing all 230km camping style. The Kariba-Chirundu stretch is epic but quiet. The Chirundu-Mana leg is first-class wildlife. Fewer than 200 souls canoe the remote lower stretches through Sapi and Chewore each year. The full 10 day trip down to Kanyemba is worth a gazillion stars.
Private lower Zambezi canoe safaris can be arranged for up to 8 people in a party.

Accumulation of large amounts of cyanobacterial cells in sediment may pose environmental problems. For example, the inoculation of resuspended cells may result in new blooms [
The presence of toxic cyanobacterial population in water bodies causes a serious threat for the health of humans [

The re-invasion potential of cells in sediments was further investigated for the natural settlement treatment and coagulation treatment with PAC + sepiolite. To accomplish this, sediment samples were suspended in water and then allowed to settle for five minutes, after which the cells suspended in the water phase (hereafter referred to as resuspendable cells) were counted by light microscopy. The dynamics of resuspendable cells in the sediment samples are shown in
Dynamics of resuspendable cells in sediments at 25 °C ± 0.5 °C after coagulation treatment with PAC (250 mg/L) + sepiolite (2.8 g/L) and no coagulant. The error bars show the standard deviations.
During the incubation period, no MCLR were detected in the overlying water in any treatments other than the PAC treatment, in which a low level of MCLR (0.23 mg/L) was detected at day three (

To test whether MCs released from cells were decomposed by microbial community indigenous to the sediment, biodegradation experiments were conducted by adding soluble MCLR to sediment/aqueous system. The concentration of MCLR was effectively reduced to below the detection limits within six days, whereas no obvious reduction was observed in sterile control, indicating that losses of MCs in the experiments were not due to abiotic degradation (
Biodegradation of soluble MCLR in sediment/aqueous system at 25 °C ± 0.5 °C.
The concentrations of TN in the water phase were monitored throughout the experiment using a TOC/TN analyzer after filtration through a 0.22 μm filter, and the results are shown in
Profiles of TN in the water phase at 25 °C ± 0.5 °C after coagulation treatment with PAC (250 mg/L), sepiolite (7 g/L), PAC (250 mg/L) + sepiolite (2.8 g/L), and no coagulant. The error bars show the standard deviations.
Coagulation treatment has a strong potential for application in the restoration of aquatic ecosystems by removing bloom algae from water column [
Our results also suggest that coagulation treatment with PAC + sepiolite or sepiolite has no negative effect on
After coagulation treatment, massive MCs entering the sediment with intact cells may pose potential risk of MCs pollution. Our results show that coagulation treatment did not enhance the accumulation of MCs in sediment or lead to intense release of soluble MCs into water column. During incubation, the concentrations of MCs in sediment decreased steadily in the same manner as viable cells for all treatments. In addition, no MCs were detected in overlying water with the decay of cells, except in the PAC treatment, even though the total concentration of MCs in samples was as high as 250 μg/g sediment. These results imply that coagulation treatment has no significant effect on the release or decomposition of MCs in sediment. The synchronous change and high correlation between MCs concentration and cells number suggest that most MCs detected in sediment were contained in viable cells. Similar phenomenon was also demonstrated in a field investigation by Ihe [
Our results indicate that biodegradation may be the major detoxification process of MCs released from cells in sediment. The biodegradation of soluble MCLR in sediment (
During the bloom period, bloom algae can also enter the sediment through natural sedimentation and sedimentation rates up to several g/m2/d have been reported in reservoirs [
With the decay of settled cells, nitrogen element was synchronously released into water phase, suggesting that organic nitrogen in cells such as protein and nucleic acid was released. These kinds of organic nitrogen may be further decomposed by microorganisms and finally mineralized to NH+-N in water bodies. To avoid disturbing the floc, the disolved oxygen in our experiments was not measured during incubation. It is likely that both oxic and anoxic microenvironments are present in the same bottle due to the decay of algae cells. Hence, we supposed that some of NH+-N might be oxidized to NO3−-N through nitrification during incubation. Although coagulation treatment has no significant effect on the release of TN (
Samples of surface sediment were collected from Lake Dianchi (Kunming, Yunnan, China), where heavy cyanobacterial blooms have frequently occurred during the past 20 years. Samples were collected using a stainless steel grab sampler in December 2006. The treatment and characteristics of the sediment samples have been described previously [
The coagulation experiments were conducted in a jar test unit with six paddles. Three types of coagulants, PAC, sepiolite and PAC + sepiolite, were used in the coagulation experiments. Since the primary purpose of this experiment was to elucidate the fates of sedimented
To investigate the fate of cells in the sediment, coagulant was also added to 0.4 L of algae suspension at the beginning of a 1-min rapid mix cycle (200 rpm). Then the cell suspensions were mixed slowly at 50 rpm for about 10 min. Before the end of slow mix cycle, the cell suspensions were distributed into nine bottles (40 mL per bottle) containing 0.4 g of sediment by siphon, and during which the cell suspensions were mixed with sediment by gentle shaking. The initial pH was detected by pH meter and was between 7 and 7.6 in all treatments. The bottles were then capped with cotton plugs and incubated in darkness without shaking at 25 °C ± 0.5 °C in an incubator. In the incubation period, the sample bottles were brought out of incubator termly to detect the color changes of sediment and overlying water. One bottle was selected for sampling at days 0 (after two hours of incubation), 3, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28, and the sampling procedure was shown in
Flow chart of sampling procedure.
To verify whether soluble MCs can be decomposed by indigenous microbial community in sediments, biodegradation experiments were conducted according to the method previously reported [
To distinguish living cells from dead ones, vital staining was carried out using Trypan blue solution (0.4%) [
Sediment samples were extracted for 15 min with 7 mL of 75% aqueous methanol under ultrasonic irradiation. The extraction was repeated three times, after which the combined supernatants were dried at 35 °C using a rotary evaporator (Laborta 4000-efficient, Heidolph, Schwabach, Germany) and then dissolved in 5 mL of 75% aqueous methanol for MCLR analysis. The MCLR concentrations in the extracted solutions and water samples were detected by HPLC as previously described [
One-way repeated-measures ANOVA was performed using the statistical software package SPSS for Windows (SPSS 16.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) to determine if there were significant differences between treatments. If a significant difference was detected, further comparison (Tukey's method) was conducted to identify which specific treatments differed.

Kempus for me. I just don't think Tex has the goal scoring power to win this match up.
The night is dark and full of terrors.

No doubt about it, this would be a great match up. Players such as Moore, Ballack and Cruyff were beasts in their prime. However, I feel that I hold the advantage in a number of key areas. How the formation is set out, I feel that my front 4 players could have a field day against his back 3. None of his back 3 are known for their pace and with the likes of Henry, Giggs and Messi running at them, they would be in considerable trouble.
I also feel that Messi would be able to ruin Zanetti on the left wing. Don't get me wrong, I like Zanetti. I just feel he would have a lot of trouble in the role that he has been asked to play. Not only is it on his less favoured side, but he would have to run that flank all game to provide any kind of support to the midfield. I just think too much rests on Alberto and Zanetti getting forward in order to support the midfield.
I also feel I have the advantage in the center of the park. Neither Tiguan or Ballack are real creative midfielders like Laudrup. Ballack is an incredible box to box player, but I just don't feel he has the flair required.
I have to agree with Lee as well, I think my defense matches up pretty well against your front 3. I would be most worried about Cruyff, but I think that Maldini, Nesta and Vidic could deal with Matthews and Kocsis. All in all I feel that my team has the advantage in the key areas of the pitch. It could be a great game though.

My formation is largely based around the Magnificent Magyars of the 1950s.
I have one of the most underrated goalkeepers of all time in Sepp Maier, here is a man who has won everything as a player, both in a team and as an individual. I mean he won 3 footballer of the year titles, against greats such as Franz Beckenbauer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge during Germanys golden period in the 70s.
My back 3 are all known for their excellent athleticism as well as their leadership and command of their defense. Combined I think these 3 would have be able to hold their own against any oncoming attacks. They would be shielded by someone else who largely goes under the radar, Jean Tigana, a former Ballon d'or runner up and a large part of the France 1984 European Championship winning team.
Carlos Alberto and Javier Zanetti were the poster boys for their position during their generations. I have no fear with Zanetti on the right or on the left as I have seen him play both comfortably. And I think the pair would give as good as they got with Giggs and Messi.
Then my front four is what I am really pleased with, I have in my opinion one of the greatest ever box to box midfielders in Michael Ballack. A man, unlike anyone else on these teams LITERALLY carried his country to a World Cup final (2002), and absolute machine in the middle of the park. Maybe he wouldn't be described as a "playmaker" but that isn't to say he isn't exceptionally creative and his bursting runs forward would be a nightmare against an opponent who are more like a 5-0-5 formation. Then I have Matthews hugging the right touchline to feed the likes of Kocsis and Ballack with Cruyff loitering around the box.
Kocsis has the greatest goals/games ratio in international history, he was overshadowed in his prime by Puskas but was every bit as effective. Something else that goes underrated is Cruyffs scoring record, a return of better than a goal every other game and was very better in his prime with Ajax, with a goal every 1.25 games.

Interesting match up, I feel like kempus has the advantage here. Mainly because it's asking to much for some players, if Messi gets in Zanetti's back he's good as gone with so much space. He will have to be cautious on when he attacks or stays up the midfield. Carlos Alberto won't be able to stop quick link ups between Giggs and Henry on the wings and that would leave 3 players, that are world class, I agree, but I don't see them covering well enough to stop van Basten, Henry or Giggs, Messi if he gets space and Laudrup. There will be more than enough space to have texans_uk defence against a wall.
However, if Suffolk N Close wins the midfield battle the game might be theirs. Souness will be asked to put on a show to stop Ballack or Cruyff, and that won't happen. Ballack could very well destroy the midfield and reach kempus box as one more attacking player, but then he'll face a wall they'll have a hard time breaking.
That being said, I think the midfield will be a zone of transition with so many athletic players and that gives the advantage to kempus.
kempus, 2-3.

None of the current Spurs players have proved enough yet. The guys who I considered were Gazza, Hoddle, Mackay, Jennings, Klinsman, Lineker and probably a couple of others.

The Fox News anchor explains in an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" that one night he awoke with the title of the book in his head. He says he believes he got that message from the Holy Spirit.

I mean, that is how it works, right? You are told by God to write this down, take a little note, and then you are considered inspired, maybe inerrant, and you get a slot in the canon?
The book is rubbish.

About Me
I have been modeling for several years. But for as long as I can remember I loved being in front of the camera as and the only other thing that I love(d) equally is fashion (two of the main ingredients to modeling). My first real modeling expierence was at Model Search America when I was 14. There I had my first photo shoot and walked a runway in front of thousands of people for my first time. From then on I attended several local fashion shows. When I was about 17 I attended another convention in Boston called Pro Scouts. About a year ago I was scouted by Shiver Studios based out of Liverpool, NY. I attended auditions, photo shoots and competed in a competition for a scholarship to IMTA held through the scouting agency. I was choosen to sign with MMG and decided that the high costs for all of these small agencies and low results were a waste of my time. This is when I decided it was time for me to start building my portfolio and resume to achieve my long time goal on my own. I continue to attend local fashion shows/bridal shows and several photo shoots.
Incase you did not notice from my photos I like to work for the outcome of my photos and not just grab attention by showing some T&A. I DO NOT do semi nude, nude, fetish or lingerie. Im very professional, fun to be around, and easy to get along with. I love meeting/working new people especially new photographers and models. Im always open to new ideas and suggestions as long as they are reasonable. I also like to use my creative energy for my shoots to come up with all different ideas. There are a tremendous amount of things that can be brought to a photograph to help achieve a breath taking image.
Even if you are not interested in booking me please feel free to critique my photos. Constructive criticism is very appreciated.
I hope to obtain many new contacts as well as friends within the industry such as aspiring photographers and models like myself. I am more then happy to travel but at your expense. I look forward to any comments you may have. Thanks!

Do all wedding Dresses come up small? Im a size 18-20 but the dress is a size 22 that i have ordered does that seem normal? I know it can also be altered two sizes smaller if i loose weight it just seems weird. Not that bothered - just wanted to know if its normal.
I am in a similar position to you. I have been desperately dieting to get from a size 20-22 to a size 16-18 and was a bit gutted when the ladies in the shop told me i should order a size 20. But i have heard it said plenty of times that the dress sizes do come up small, guess it depends on the designer.
I wouldnt worry about it though, it is the fit on the day that counts.
This does seem to be the way things go for dress sizing, although im still at a loss as to why????? its like you can be one size in one shop and another size somewhere else, surely if you are a size 10 18 or 26 it shouldnt matter where you shop weather its jeans or a wedding dress that is your size!!! i also think it seems particularly cruel to 'downsize' wedding dresses as most of us would like to lose a little before the day and if we have tried our hardest and then still come out a size larger than our usual dress it can be quite disheartening!!! x
Wedding dresses do usually come up a bit on the small size and there are a couple of very good reasons for this.
First of all, there is (often) less of a difference in inches between sizes of bridal dresses than there are between high street sizes. This helps to ensure a better fit in many cases. This is why you generally find that the smaller sizes are far closer in size, whereas as you go up the sizes, the discrepancy gets bigger an bigger as the difference in inches becomes greater.
Secondly, bridal dresses aren't usually stretchy, whereas most high street clothes are either stretchy or cut on the bias. This is done so that they (high street) fit well regardless of a persons shape. Very, very few women actually fit perfectly into a single size. But with a bit of "give" in the fabric, a woman with (for example) a size 14 bust, 14 waist, and 16 hips can fit into a size 14 dress from the high street. However, this doesn't work with a bridal dress as the fabric doesn't have that give. In this example, a size 16 dress would be required, to ensure a good fit over the hips, with the rest of the dress needing to be taken in.
Also, and I really hate to say this, but unfortunately it is very much the truth! LOTS of women actually don't wear the correct size of clothing. Again, due to the stretch in most high street fabrics, we can get away with wearing at least a size smaller than we really should (and often a lot more!). This means that when it comes to bridal dresses its a shock to see what size we actually measure!
There is also quite a bit of difference between manufacturers sizing in bridal just like there is on the high street. For example, I can easily wear a sz 10 jeans in next (well - pre-pregnancy I could!), but in Jane Norman I need at least a 14, and am far better in a 16 as they come up so small. Personally I couldn't care less if the label says 16 as long as the clothes look good Its not like i'm going to walk around with the label hanging out! Incidentally, in one of the bridal manufacturers we stocked, I meansured a size 18 because of my hips! lol.

It does seem to be the norm although my dress was a size 14 and I'm a 10 up top and 12 below and I needed it taken in a good bit. Mine is a Ronald Joyce.
🍰🍹 Happily sitting on the OM bench since 9th April 2010 🍹🍰
I left my bridal shop nearly in tears as I was a comfortable size 10 then and needed a size 14 dress. They said my hips needed the bigger size but that doesn't make sense because my hips are the smallest part of me and all normal clothes are too baggy over my hips and bum.
I know what Kerri is saying is true that is doesn't matter what size the labels says but it's so disheartening that when you want to look your best you are left feeling fat and huge because of the label.
Oh no, I'll never find a wedding dress then. If I see a top that I love and my size is too small. I REFUSE to buy it a size bigger. lol I know all high street store sizes are difference but it's the principle. lol
TBH - I probably won't be that bad with my wedding dress(i hope) as long as I feel and Look like a princess I'll be happy!! xx
The hitcher formally known as Bailey_Wailey
I'm a 10 on top and 12- 14 on bottoms depending on how fitted they are so the bridal shop recommended a 14. They measured me & that was the best fit. I was happy with this as I tried a sample that was a 12 of my dress and it didn't fit over my hips! I'd rather it fit there & have to be taken in on top because I know however much weight I lose it won't effect my hips very much at all
Mine came up a size smaller than i usually wear, i guess i'm the odd one out. I made sure they checked the measurements over and over and i got measured by 2 different women as I wasn't convinced! Make me :) though!
OM since 8-9-10
yes they do come up small - one thing to learn (especially for bigger girls) before you start trying dresses on - all wedding dress designers are EVIL.
actually, wStarstruckS.
(i am a sz 18, dress was a 22, i just cut the label out!)
Oct 2011, no 2 due April 2013
( i just cut the label out!)
( i just cut the label out!)
Haha i may have to do that depending what size i end up needing!! lol
L xx
Mrs Spink it's not just you! I was wearing a high street 20 when I got my dress (lost a stone since then) and the shop sample was an 18 and that fitted! However my dress has an a line skirt and my hips aren't particularly big plus it's also got a corset back - so there's probably a fair amount of leeway depending on the style?
Mine was exactly the same size as I wear on the high street! The woman did want to order me a size larger than that, though. She was speaking to one of her colleagues right in front of me and said 'I'd order her a size up. Her hips are only 0.5 inches smaller than the size, she might split the seams'! Made me [:'(]

Hi All,
The sizes of the wedding dresses are odd. I'm usually a size 10 dress but have tried a number on over the weekend and an 8, a 10 and a 12 all fitted in the same way - all though were by different designers which shows that they do cut their dresses differently as they were all very similar in shape! I went into one shop and there was actually a sign on the wall saying that you should pick a dress a size above your normal dress size as they come up small, so don't be disheartened, just go with what fits best, no one will know what size the label says - especially if you cut it out! ;-)

We talked to Step's dad about the family trip to Atlanta. He described the trip as very enjoyable. "Step's grandmother made the trip with us and the coaches at Georgia Tech treated her so nice. She loved it there more this time than last. We all had a great time."
In spite of a large number of visitors, Step still had a chance to talk to the coaches, players, and recruits. "When we got there we found out that there were a large list of recruits there because it was senior day."
The coaches at Georgia Tech took the time to meet with Step. "That really made him feel special and wanted by the Tech coaching staff."
One of the coaches that met with Step was head coach Paul Johnson. "He wanted to make sure that Step was interested in coming to Georgia Tech." Coach Johnson let Step know that they were retooling the defense and that Step could make an immediate impact to the retooling process.
Step liked what Johnson told him about his possible role in their defense. "Step told me that he could see that the defense was improving and that he would love to be a part of the retooling."
The visit helped to reinforce Tech as the favorite for Durham's verbal. "Right now if they aren't his top team, they are one of the top teams. He really loves the school and team and feels he can be a part of something real good at Georgia Tech."

One of the most powerful political outfits in the state lost its leader yesterday when Ed Failor, Jr. resigned his post at Iowans for Tax Relief.
While it has also called for lower rates, the "Taxpayer's Watchdog" has built its existence around preserving tax breaks, most notably the deduction for state and local taxes. Its dogged refusal to contemplate trading the deduction for lower rates, combined with funding some successful primary challenges of legislators who have crossed it, has made Iowans for Tax Relief a powerful obstacle to serious tax reform.
This part of the organization's press release after last week's item veto of bonus depreciation and an expanded earned income credit underlines how the organization promotes bad tax policy:
Second, Governor Branstad took away important tax relief specifically targeted at low-income Iowa families with his veto pen. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) would have helped Iowa working families make ends meet through a tax credit which would pay for important needs, like child care and groceries.
The earned income credit is refundable, and most recipients have little or no state tax liability -- making it a welfare program run through the tax code. Like Grover Norquist at Americans for Tax Reform, ITR apparently believes a spending program becomes something else when it is run through a tax return. The "Taxpayer's Watchdog" never barked when the Iowa Film Office was wasting tens of millions on the Iowa film credits, for example; the dog was also quiet when the legislature was enacting the boondoggle.
This map from the Tax Foundation gives an idea of what ITR has accomplished in Iowa tax policy:
The accomplishment? Iowa has one of the highest individual tax rates in the country, the highest corporate rate, and a tax law of Byzantine complexity.
It's unlikely that ITR will change its views as a result of a new leader. That means it will continue to be difficult to advance real tax reform, with low rates and few loopholes, in Iowa.

UPDATE: More on the story from Dave Price and O. Kay Henderson.
Bookmark: del.icio.us • Digg • reddit
looking at our tax rate ,its no wonder Zach Johnson moved to Florida instead of staying here in Iowa. Its also curious that Zach is in commercials pitching to raise taxes in Cedar Rapids when he no longer lives here.
GOOD RIDDANCE. This clown (Failor) endorsed big government liberal Democrats in the last election. I sure think he has helped the liberal cause significantly in Iowa with his egg-headed political endoresements.
Maybe with his departure ITR will once again become a conservative organization.

You will have to meet with what seems like dozens of vendors to pull off one of the most expensive days of your life.
This book Wedding Films is the first in a series called Bride Education 101 that will assist you in talking to those vendors. What you will learn in this book is what are the questions to ask someone who's going to produce your wedding film and the answers you should expect to hear from them. Everything from "What types from wedding videos are there?" to "How do you handle a dark reception venue?".
Look for other books in the series in how to talk to photographers, wedding planners and DJs.
