Samsung Craft
Begins selling Samsung Craft, the first LTE-enabled device in U.S.
While the nation's top four carriers have been
duking it out on TV
in the courts
, MetroPCS, the fifth-largest carrier has quietly amassed a nationwide network and has begun rolling out LTE service in select metro areas.
The Dallas-based company
that 90 percent of the U.S. population is now covered by the carrier with today's introduction of its Metro USA nationwide service plans. The company's Wireless For All plans range from $40 to $60 per month and include unlimited buckets of talk, text, and web (depending on plan).
"Metro USA is yet another key milestone for our company as we have expanded nearly everywhere where our customers may use their service in the majority of the United States," said MetroPCS CEO Roger Linquist. "Our customers already benefit from the affordability, flexibility and predictability of our Wireless for All service, and now they can use their wireless services nearly anywhere they go in the nation."
In addition to the nationwide service plan, MetroPCS has
also announced
the availability today of 4G LTE data services in metropolitan Los Angeles and Philadelphia, adding to the current metros of Dallas/Fort Worth, Detroit, and Las Vegas.
The company offers what it dubs "the world's first commercially available 4G LTE-enabled multimedia handset,"
the Samsung Craft
, for $299 (with no contract). The Craft boasts a 3.3" AMOLED touchscreen, 480 x 800 resolution, full-QWERTY slide-out keyboard, and Samsung's proprietary OS with TouchWiz. Service plans for the device, and all future 4G devices, range from $55 to $60 per month, all taxes and fees included.
It's important to keep in mind, as
points out
, that most MetroPCS-enabled cities never had 3G to begin with. So its 4G network really takes the place of 3G, and browsing speed on the craft was more akin to 3G (at about 1 megabit per second).
MetroPCS plans to expand its 4G services into Atlanta, Boston, Jacksonville, Miami, New York, Orlando, Sacramento, San Francisco, Tampa throughout the end of the year and early 2011.

TOP STORY >> Lonoke tax would go to city parks
Leader staff writer
No organized opposition has materialized to a two-cent hamburger tax proposal that Lonoke voters will see when they go to the polls Tuesday, according to Mayor Tom Privett.
The money, which would be earmarked for improving Lonoke parks, could amount to $100,000 a year at first, then more as the town grows and when a second interstate cloverleaf is built, Privett said.
Currently, the city council subsidizes the parks to the tune of about $75,000 a year, so some or all of that money could be available for other city needs.
Because the money is for park improvements, including lights for several ball fields, Privett has talked to local coaches asking them to support the measure and to ask parents of players to vote for it as well.
In addition, those who use the community center would benefit from the tax.
Several area churches and some school officials also support the new tax, which Privett said would be paid primarily by travelers passing by on I-40.
He said supporters also have worked from a list of active voters those most likely to vote asking for their support. Privett said he was confident the tax would be approved, but added that if a lot of people turn out to vote down the proposed statewide tax authority for highways and higher education, that the negative voting could spill over to hurt the citys hamburger tax.
Privett said the land behind the community center was city owned and that tennis courts, an exercise trail and perhaps parking could be constructed with new tax money.
The ball fields also need new concession stands and the large open ditch running west of the ballpark road should be covered.
Meanwhile, the new walking trail on the railroad right of way running from downtown Lonoke to the ball field still needs lighting, benches, trees and more amenities, Privett said.
We are one of the few cities from Little Rock to Memphis that do not have this tax, the mayor said. Cabot, Little Rock, North Little Rock. Its on the ballot in Conway, Brinkley, Forrest City and Carlisle, I think.
Privett said that Ken Patel, who owns two motels on the I-40 exit, is not totally happy with the tax, which would affect restaurants and motels primarily, but is not adamantly against it either.
Privett said that a study has shown that 85 percent of the revenue raised by a hamburger tax is money that comes in off the interstate, which is not a burden on our people, Privett said.
Privett said the money would also allow the city to develop additional parks as the city grows.

Folic acid has only been supplemented in foods in the US, since January 1, 1998. The recent research evaluating that practice, as compared to countries who do not supplement synthetic folate is identifying significant concerns.
The MTHFR gene polymorphism has only been identified since 1999, maybe 1998. And another version of it only since 2003, iirc. The reproductive endocrinologists and some OBs seem to be aware of it due to a "seeming" association with repeated miscarriages. (here is a bunch more info, plus the links on the next page: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...n#post14539524 )
The concern regarding synthetic folic acid supplementation during pregnancy has only been found since the most recent 2009 research.

New research is focused on adverse effects of our greatly increased folic acid intakes.
Here is an excellent explanation about MTHFR and pregnancy: http://lifebalanceinfertilitycoach.w...f-miscarriage/
ETA: I've been researching the MTHFR relation to cancer since March 2009, when my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. http://www.mothering.com/discussions...&postcount=289
It all goes back to food folate, rather than synthetic folic acid supplementation. The food supplementation with synthetic folic acid is a large public health experiment without prior safety studies related to pregnancy and cancer. Retrospective studies are indicating the danger of this current practice, which only started 10 years ago, in the US due to FDA regulations.
Who the hell is Dr. Fuhrman?
This is very bad advice. I hope that no posters take this seriously. Posting drivel like this is irresponsible and dangerous to the gullible readers who latch on to it.

|CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that it may be prudent for women to consume a diet rich in vegetables and adequate in protein prior to and during pregnancy as a possible means of reducing childhood ALL risk in their offspring.

OP, are you affiliated with this doctor?
How convenient that if you click your provided links to his "research", you can browse his site and see all the products he has for sale, including his very own super special multivitamin!
|Pat, I would guess (since I'm not sure anyone knows for certain) that people with only one non-typical MTHFR gene would probably convert the folic acid pretty well. And the percentage with two copies of the non-typical MTHFR genes are a much smaller proportion of the population.
So who has a good source of supplemental folic acid? I've just been taking the bottle my mom passed to me...Bronson's labs?
I do appreciate the concern regarding the "some people" can utilize folic acid. However, the issue regarding the cancers, asthma and other diseases linked to folic acid supplementation is concerning. And most pregnant women do not know if they are carrying the MTHFR gene and a large portion of the population has some polymorphism variant.
I think that there is no sound evidence to prove any of this, and thinking of it logically, most babies would not be healthy if this were true.
My head is spinning, honestly.

In his bellicose enthusiasm, Tony Abbott has broken field marshal Montgomery's first rule of war: don't march on Moscow ("Military advisers set to go to Ukraine", September 4). I would have thought he'd have remembered that sending "military advisers" was how we got into Vietnam.
Just what are we going to "advise" the Ukraine army about? It's basically a flaked-off chunk of the Russian army, with vastly more experience than us in the sort of highly mobile, armour-dominated, operations typical of the region.
Gavin Gatenby Turrella
Peter Hartcher calls it "assertiveness". I call it aggression from an aggressive, combative man ("We'll fight them in the West, the East, and the Middle East", September 4).
History demonstrates a litany of invasions by the West of the Middle East. All these wars have destabilised the countries and left behind traumatised and angry people, so if anyone wanted a recipe for terrorists, they need look no further than all these wars. But apparently Australia has learned nothing.
Jan Carroll Potts Point
For some time Tony Abbott has looked uncomfortable with the limitations of the deputy sheriff role, so it comes as no surprise that that he has now thrown caution to the wind and is leading the charge out of the trenches into no-man's land. Please report to your nearest barracks ASAP. Your country needs you.
Alan Carruthers Artarmon
Peter Hartcher notes Tony Abbott's assertiveness in foreign affairs but it would be unwise for him to be too assertive where Russia is concerned. After all, we have a seat on the Security Council and are going to need Russian co-operation if we want a Chapter 7 resolution on dealing with Islamic State militants. It is too important for him to act first and think later.
Sonia Lee Dudley
With things the way they are as we head towards the government's first year in office surely there must be enough Australians out there who can see through Tony Abbott's new-found interest in becoming a globe-trotting statesmen. This has everything to do with keeping our attention focused on his travels and away from the mess he has created. What is concerning is how long are Australians going to remain conned by Abbott before they realise things at home are not what they seem and are in serious need of attention.
Dallas Fraser Mudgeeraba (Qld)
According to Theodore Roosevelt, the art of diplomatic diplomacy was to 'speak softly and carry a big stick'. Since he is so fond of slogans, our Prime Minister should consider adding this one to his armoury rather than posture belligerently on the world's stage. Ours is a very small stick and megaphone diplomacy is inappropriate for a country of such limited power. And, while we're at it, apart from being an oxymoron, what is 'non-lethal' military assistance? Something like being half-pregnant?
Garth Clarke North Sydney
It seems Captain Abbott is booking Team AUS into several away matches. There looks to be a return match in Iraq because the last match was called off due to overzealous crowds, a gig in the Ukraine and a possible friendly against China. All these away games will probably negate the need for superannuation and higher education for many of the team but it looks like it might solve the youth unemployment. At least we won't have the team playing in the Somme mud this time but our Asian and Middle East experience from the last series of games will come in handy.
Jon Sloan North Narooma
Margie Abbott, is there any chance that you could convince your bellicose husband to stop his bear baiting. It's dangerous for all of us.
John Walsh Watsonia
Tony Abbott is unquestionably a brilliant statesman (Julie Bishop helps, too) in sending military advisers to Ukraine. Perhaps it's time for him to send advisers to Tibet as well. I think that Uighurs and Khazars would benefit from his sagacity as well. Pensioners must wait for better super. After all , Mr Abbott has a good cause in mind.
Walter Ivantsoff Marsfield
Could someone please advise Tony Abbott that his repeated remark that the mess in the Middle East is "a witches' brew" is totally inappropriate. There are no women involved; the mess is made entirely by men.
Elaine Diffey Glebe
Steady on the praise, our past should make us alarmed
Tony Abbott was over the top in describing Robert Menzies and John Howard as "giants, both, in whose extraordinary footprints I am proud to follow" ("In the eyebrow stakes, the PM just doesn't measure up", September 4).
The unlikely occasion for Abbott's homage to the two former Prime Ministers was the opening of an exhibition on Menzies' first prime ministership, from 1939 to 1941. Most Liberals would sooner forget those years in which Menzies showed uncertain leadership of Australia's war effort, and resigned after losing the support of his own party. Labor's John Curtin became Australia's war time Prime Minister and Menzies went to the back bench.
War time leadership is an appropriate bench mark for role models when the government has involved us in supporting Ukraine against Russia, Japan in its confrontation with China and the US and its allies in combating ISIL, the self-styled Islamic State. On this test, John Howard looks a dodgy role model. Naturally enough, Howard has recently been silent about the merits of the 2003 invasion of Iraq which resulted in more than 150,000 casualties and the continuing destabilisation of the Middle East.
If Abbott really intends to follow the footprints of Menzies and Howard, Australians should be both alert and alarmed.
James Moore Kingsgrove
Less is more: the new logic of superannuation
If Clive Palmer and Joe Hockey are correct in saying less super equals more money in the pocket, then no super is really what we want, isn't it ("Keating blasts super changes in PUP deal as wilful sabotage", September 4)? That 9.5 per cent of my wage that goes to my fund is money I can't spend at the doctor or on pizza.
Following their reasoning, we should abolish superannuation altogether. The rich can retire on their savings and the poor can look forward to the pension as it was pre-Keating. Assuming, of course, that Palmer and Hockey haven't abolished the pension by 2025 when I will need it.
David Neilson Invergowrie
There is one glaring error in Paul Keating's attack on current superannuation changes. He seems to assert that if people aren't forced to contribute extra money to a superannuation fund, they will somehow miss out in retirement.
Many people will use the extra money they now receive to invest in their own future, by selecting alternative methods of providing for their retirement. Property and shares are just two examples that come to mind, or does our former prime minister think that average Australians are not capable of performing "wealth gathering" activities for themselves. I'll wager many of Mr Keating's assets came from sources other than superannuation funds.
David Sayers Gwandalan
Centre of despair
Michael Gordon has exposed the misery, hopelessness and the torture of detainees on Manus Island ("Secret isolation unit on Manus Island used to 'modify behaviour' ", September 4).
We cannot say we do not know what is going on. We are well aware of the danger of the secrecy and lack of scrutiny that surrounds Australia's detention centres; isn't that enough to raise suspicion about what could be going on there?
If the previous horrific perpetration of violence by those who were employed to look after the detainees was not enough for those of us shamed by Australia's treatment of refugees, then this should be. We need to demand that both the major parties put an end to this treatment.
Dorothy Babb Hornsby
Book of ages, long ago
Elizabeth Farrelly laments the loss of the cathedral of books; the library ("Will this e-generation be book burners?", September 4). It's ironic to read about it on my iPad, my eReader.
Anthony Horan Campbelltown
Future in Medicare
At my initial consultation with the surgeon following a diagnosis of a large tumour in one breast and in lymph nodes, I requested that while he was there he take the good one, too ("Study finds survival rates no better after double mastectomy", September 4). With four small children, I didn't want to take any chances. He said that "we don't take a healthy breast" and got a bit cross when I suggested that he probably would if I was going private not Medicare.
Interestingly, the same surgeon has offered me a free reconstruction on several occasions. No thanks. Now, two and a half years later, I am pleased to have kept the other one (so is hubby). It is good news that this "decision" will not affect long-term survival chances. Like taking only medication on the PBS or waiting until new vaccinations are on the schedule, it appears that Medicare has once again saved me from a bad decision. Go Medicare!
Maryanne Lia Newtown
Mind your manners
A program to teach children "good, old-fashioned manners" devised by a martial arts instructor – how Kafkaesque can you get ("Child whisperer teaches preschoolers manners", September 4)? It seems today's parents have abrogated all their basic responsibilities; let other people bear them and let others teach them the basic tenets of behaviour. We won't even mention plonking them in front of a TV or iPad instead of reading with them, listening to music with them or any basic interaction with these, their children.
I'm proud to say I'm old-fashioned, and I say 'fie' to all of you who act this way.
Rae Morris Marrickville
Dream lost in translation
I thought Barangaroo was intended to be a creative community cultural precinct ("Baird banks on renminbi for Barangaroo", September 4). A place that honours Australian indigenous people's histories and is inclusive at heart. A place of global standard for creative community collaboration and connects virtually with people who cannot visit the site physically. A place of conversations which values kindness and well-being. A place where people share green spaces that support an ever changing format directed by community groups. I must have been dreaming.
Jenny Stephenson Wollongong
Just not my type
The awkward Comic Sans typeface is well critiqued in Simon Garfield's excellent book, Just My Type, a Book about Fonts ("The typeface that launched a thousand quips: It's time we learnt to love Comic Sans", September 4). Perhaps the book's most telling observation about the font is presented in the form of a joke: "Comic Sans walks into a bar and the bartender says, we don't serve your type."
It would be comforting to think that after the current ICAC inquiry has concluded, the likes of Chris Hartcher, Eric Roozendaal, Joe Tripodi and their ilk might receive a similar reception when they choose to frequent their local pub or takeaway.
Ross Pulbrook Wyong
Can't recall apology
How refreshingly honest of Maxine McKew (Letters, September 4) to offer an apology for a small mistake. But from all the politicians past and present fronting up to ICAC over the past 10 months, nary a peep, just a disgusting "I don't recall".
Tim Schroder Gordon
Foxtel destined to lose more subscribers with its television format
Until Foxtel changes a dead horse format for one that matches the viewing habits of a 2014 audience, it is going nowhere ("Foxtel cuts fees in battle for subscribers", smh.com.au, September 4). When you try to cancel, as in my case, because the ads on commercial TV were more interesting, they throw further discounts and offers at you. When the offers prove unacceptable and enough is enough, they then threaten legal action and penalties if you want "out", claiming some mystical contract that cannot be supplied.
My advice, change the format and win real customers or pull the curtains down for good.

Piggins hit if Souths win
If Souths win the NRL premiership, the credit should go to George Piggins rather than Greg Inglis ("Churchill. Sattler. Inglis?", September 4).

Transport timetable the cause
The explanation, David Jordan (Letters, September 3), is that the Transport Minister failed to co-ordinate her recently opalised arrangements with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra's concert programs. Those who shuffle out before the conductor has lowered his baton do so to avoid a 55-minute wait at the Mosman-bound ferry wharf, where even a relaxing post-concert cigar is forbidden.

A more humane fashion alternate.
Check out ShaboriLove for their collection of dynamic hand dyed scarves and leggings. This particular scarf caught my eye.Added 8 Years Ago from Shiborilove
Flag scarf!!! Its reversible.
I'm really digging this new Der Sammler print.
Very nice. Very nice indeed.
I like it but, honestly, here in NYC I still wouldn't wear it.
Sorry for the small image. I love the nontraditional patterns and symbols on the scarf.
I really believe in the power of accessories. That said, this soft colored scarf is a perfect embellishment for a simple and casual outfit.Added 9 Years Ago from Pixiemarket
I'd love a Queen of Hearts scarf like this too.Added 9 Years Ago from Tresbienshop
Back to basics: black and white. Vibskov never fails.Added 9 Years Ago from Azitastore
Love the HV. Nothing all too different from his usual stuff. I still love it all. This color block scarf is a great spring accessory.Added 9 Years Ago from Azitastore
This scarf is on my top 10 list of fashion purchases in the next few months. This scarf really suits me.Added 9 Years Ago from Theshopfloorproject
Chanel didn't hold the monopoly on the chain print scarf.
This is not a duplicate recommendation. Its Chanels silk chain scarf in navy blue.Added 9 Years Ago from Fruitionlv
Too bad this is sold out. I'm not into designer labels, but I love this scarf- the colors, the graphics. Very nice! Check out the other pics for details.Added 9 Years Ago from Fruitionlv
I've also seen this scarf in black and it's a toss up deciding which one I like more.
Oh, cashmere! Its temps me every time.
The metallic thread in this deep navy scarf adds a contrasting shimmer. The frills and beads are also a great touch that makes this scarf really stand out.
I love it. These scarves are composed of strands of fabric. This one here has been doubled over on itself to be worn tighter around the neck. Nice scarf!
Art for your neck, that is supposed to also provide warmth.Tags: accessories, scarves, grey, women, Neck, heather grey, womens accessoriesAdded 9 Years Ago from Etsy
Gorgeous. The multicolored beading is the selling point for me. Excellent addition.
I think chidren will like these based on the fact that they wont have to have their faces and necks wrapped a hundred times over with a giant adult sized scarf.Tags: kids, winter, Clothes, accessories, childrens, stripes, cold, protection, tiesAdded 9 Years Ago from Moderntots
A lush and gorgeous alternative to the traditional scarf.
A nice take on the checkered pattern craze. Half and half scarves.

It's Italian. It's English. And it's all brought together by a Midwesterner.
It's a 1953 Arnolt MG restored to perfection by Jim Silva of Castro Valley, Calif. We caught up to him and the car at the Concorso Italiano car show last weekend, which attracted hundreds of owners and fanciers of Italian cars, near Monterey, Calif.
The Arnolt was designed by Italy's Bertone and was built on a British MG
TD chassis by a Chicago industrialist who wanted to sell it in the U.S., Silva explained.
"I've been an MG collector for years," Silva told Drive On as spectators ogled his beauty. "I fell in love with the design."
It took a lot of work to the restore the car, including changing the color from turquoise to a unique shade of red that was true to the original. But it was worth it. Among those attending the event was Lilli Bertone, widow of the Italian design house's founder, and she may have gotten a gander at Silva's pride and joy.

There were LOTS of issues with the 2011's. I would rather buy a 2012 with less options than a 2011 fully loaded. What are the options worth if you don't enjoy driving the car??? (Pulling to the right, jerky acceleration, less powerful engine, etc.) I'm sure you can get a brand new 2012 for about the same price right now.

In digital era, privacy must be a priority. Is it just me, or is secret blanket surveillance obscenely outrageous?
Privacy is one of the biggest problems in this new electronic age.
Privacy is not something that I'm merely entitled to, it's an absolute prerequisite.
Once you've lost your privacy, you realize you've lost an extremely valuable thing.
Unless a president can protect the privacy of the advice he gets, he cannot get the advice he needs.

Getting to know Collegiate's Easton Ewy
Easton Ewy
Collegiate tennis
Ewy, a freshman, won the Spartans' Class 3-2-1A regional singles title and heads into Friday and Saturday's 3-2-1A tournament with a 23-3 record.
Have you done what you expected to do your freshman season at Collegiate, or have you exceeded your goals?
"I've actually never played a school sport at all, so coming to Collegiate, knowing that it's a good tennis school with a good coach, I was expecting to do pretty well. How I've played in the last few years, I was expecting to do pretty well. I'm on target for where I should be."
Your losses are certainly respectable, losing to teammate Travis Osland, who is playing doubles at state, Hayden's Tommy Hunter, the defending 4A champion, and Stratton Brown, a freshman with one loss from Sacred Heart. What did you take from those losses?
"With those three matches, I felt that I could have done a little better. Knowing they were good players, I could have gone in a little more positive about it. Not telling myself that this is a good player, this is hard. Instead, I should have thought, 'This is a good player, you can compete with them.' I need to do the best I can, not get tentative about it."
Class 3-2-1A will be tough with yourself, Brown and KC Christian junior Johnny Goodwin, who finished second in 2013 and is unbeaten. How are you preparing?
"I'm working a lot more on my serves to get more accuracy on it, higher percentage. Most of the time if I do get broken, it's because I double-faulted. If I get the first serve, I put pressure on the other person."
How does it help you to have outstanding players on your team to push you in practice?
"It helps me a lot. Travis is playing doubles this year, but his partner (Max Moxley) plays baseball, so a lot of the time, they don't get to practice in the afternoon together. When it's just Travis and I, I can practice singles with him and practice more of the shots I need to hit going into state. I can hit my big, flat, hard shots and push myself a lot harder."
You've been lifting weights at Wichita State with Adam Ringler, assistant strength and conditioning coach. How has that helped you?
"In the last year I've felt more physically fit. I can pull out those longer matches, been able to stay in them a lot longer. I've seen a change in the pace of my ball, I hit it harder, I load my legs better so I can get a good hit on the ball."

And to omit a number of instances, in the suctorial Hemiptera or bugs we have different grades of structure in the mouth-parts.
The mouth in living forms is suctorial and is not supported by jaws.
Lampreys are carnivorous creatures, and attach themselves to fishes by their suctorial mouths, and rasp away the flesh.
Impregnation is effected by the male attaching itself by its suctorial mouth to the female.
If, of course, its suctorial mouth had arisen from an ancestral gnathostomatous mouth, then the argument would have more force.
The young fish on hatching immediately used its suctorial disc to attach itself to the sides of the vessel in which it was placed.
It seems likely that any suctorial insect which feeds on a plague-stricken rat will take numbers of the bacilli into its stomach.
They are probably remnants of the same primitive organs as the suctorial disc of Lepidosteus.
The suctorial disc is still a prominent structure at the end of the snout.
As the tadpole attains its full development, the suctorial organs behind the mouth gradually atrophy.
suctorial suc·to·ri·al (sŭk-tôr'ē-əl)
Relating to or adapted for sucking.

Bloom Day
4 comments:
I love the chasmanthe! Have never seen them before, so I assume they are tropicals?ReplyDelete
The chasmanthe was given to me a year ago by a friend, who did not know what they were. This is the first time they've bloomed here and I was just thinking that I needed to figure out what they were when, lo and behold, a catalog from Brent and Becky's Bulbs arrived with a picture of them on the cover. So here's what Brent and Becky say about them: This type is called Chasmanthe floribunda and it's native to South Africa. (South Africans seem to have the coolest plants and lucky for us, they do really well here in the bay area.) It is in the Iridaceae family and the common names for it are Delicate Lilly or Fragrant Amaryllis.ReplyDelete
Ah... thanks for the explanation, Claire. I can't believe that they're fragrant, too--that just seems to be gilding the lily! *grin* Sounds like this is one I'll have to keep admiring on your blog, though... never would it make it around here.ReplyDelete

Woman: Are you Kerry supporters?
Man: No, of course not. Kerry is the worst presidential candidate in the last 50 years and he would be the worst president ever.

Man: I was being entirely serious. I hate Kerry. The woman looks at him, unbelieving, and walks away in silence. –Outside the San Marcos bar, East Village

Here are the results: The task bar(lxpanel?) at the bottom was a constant flicker, CPU was always at 61% according to the task manager, yet it did not show what exactly was consuming it all. Something was awry with the network system implementation at boot the loader messages would say "cannot send msg to em0, access denied" And it would seem to do this no matter which card I used, both em0 and re0 were tried among others, so I don't think it was completely a driver issue as it completely the DHCP process completely , gets the ip address and DNS servers down, but still did was not able to connect to any thing , like web pages or anything of the sort. I would either get "connection reset" , "no address record" , "unable to look up hostname" or "unable to resolve dns" . Only difference I could see in regarding to this (no expert here) is that ipfw is enabled at boot and is loaded at the very beginning of the start process along with zfs and other things . no idea if that blocks any traffic, but it would seem something has the wrong settings or permissions some where in some file or group of files or something coded wrongly I am on the stable version right now 9.1 release, only problem with is the control panel crashes often with this error: QMetaobject::connect slots by name : no matching signal for on_item activated (Qlist widget item) This happens randomly. but can be triggered by leaving idle for too long or sometimes clicking on an icon in the window , and even saving settings ! This will conclude my report. Thanks for all the hard work guys!

They are calling it the Manhattan Declaration, a 4,700-word manifesto reaching into scripture and signed by 148 Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical leaders. It was released this afternoon at a press conference in Washington, D.C., and is designed to draw a line in the sand across three issues they argue are non-negotiable despite the law: the sanctity of human life, the institution of marriage as being between a man and woman, and religious freedom.
Signers of the Declaration pledge to "...not comply with any edict that purports to compel our institutions to participate in abortions, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide and euthanasia, or any other anti-life act," nor will signers "bend to any rule purporting to force us to bless immoral sexual partnerships" or "treat them as marriages." The list of backers reads like a who's who of the pro-life movement, and the document essentially argues that supporters of the movement deserve conscience rights.
What does noncompliance look like?

The crime was buying cold medicene,But the two people with her had stolen some cold medicene,even tho my daughter had a reciept for what she got they told her it was her car and was charged with intent to make meth or something like that. The case was always postponed every time they set a court date even tho she showed up,and then her public defender would call and say no need to come to court because it was being postponed again,when she went to prison I called her public defender and told her and she said to get in touch with her when she got out which we did thats when she told us not to open a can of worms she would keep check on it but then after a couple of months we called her public defender and she was no longer there thats when we started contacting the clerk. the Stste this happend in is Missouri.

The Palace has released a statement saying that Kate Middleton is admitted to St. Mary's Hospital after she entered 'early stages of labor.'
The royal baby is going to arrive soon. Buckingham Palace released a statement on Monday morning, July 22, at local time, saying that Kate Middleton went to hospital with Prince William to give birth to their first child.
"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted this morning to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London in the early stages of labor. The Duchess traveled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge," the statement read.
Former OBGYN to Queen Elizabeth II Dr. Marcus Setchell will be Kate's head doctor. Dr. Alan Farthing, who serves as the queen's current surgeon/gynecologist, will be present in the delivery room too.
The baby will be the Queen's third great-grandchildren. Princess Diana gave birth to Prince William and Harry in St. Mary's hospital. Princess Anne also delivered her children in the hospital.
The royal baby's arrival will be announced after the queen, royal family and the Middletons received the news. The announcement will be traditionally posted on an easel outside Buckingham palace. The paper will include details such as the baby's sex, weight and time of birth, and will be signed by the doctors.
"We wanted to retain some of the theater of the notice. It is quite important to us that this is done properly and with the degree of dignity that the event demands. This is the birth of a child who will be in line to the throne. It is a rare occasion and it is nice to be able to do it with some historical precedence," a spokesperson said, as quoted by Daily Mail. "It is very important [to us] that it will not be announced first on Twitter, although it will be announced on Twitter in due course," the spokesperson added.

In a children's hospital, the primary responsibility of attending to the physical wellbeing of the child also requires skilled attention to the needs of parents or other family members.This paper draws on the experience of a hospital-based support service to explore the diversity of these needs. Particular use is made of attachment theory and psychodynamic thinking to analyse what is involved, and the paper highlights social work's psychosocial model as the framework which integrates the practical, cognitive and the emotional, the individual and social dimensions.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
I don't see them on the dangerous or toxic to dog list which you can find here. Of course no list may be complete until something has been documented to have caused a problem but this list seems pretty long.
This is the plant I think you are talking about. (12th one down)http://www.ardastra.com/bahamasplantinfo.html
And here is the list of toxic plants.
I would say that if you see the dogs acting ill then grab a sample of the plant and take them both to your vet or call the poison control hot line as they do deal with this more than vets do.
1-800-213-6680. Pet Poison Helpline.
I agree with your answer....I just know grapes in general are toxic and can cause kidney failure. But since these are of a different variety....I was hoping for a specific answer and there may not be one. I have already searched the toxic plant list and even consulted a master gardener who thinks not. But I don't know that he knows specifically about dogs.
Yes, you found the correct plant.
Just so you know.....there are grapes that grow on this plant and people do make jams and jellies out of them but they do have a more sizable pit to them. But I am glad to know that it has to be in large quantity and that raisins are more concentrated. Thank you very much
You are welcome. For now just keep an eye out for any signs of change such as listlessness , vomiting, lack of appetite. Now another problem if enough are eaten is that they may cause a blockage if the pits were eaten. You would see the same signs as above.
Here is information on regular grapes and raisins.
In reading further it does say to watch all grapes the dog eats, now you are telling me people make jams out of these which I was unaware of, so if large amounts were eaten then call the poison control hotline or your vet. In finding another site on this plant it led me to the site below which still says the dog would have to ingest 32 grams, just over one pound, for toxic results, but you may want to induce vomiting if they have eaten a lot .within the last two hours.
although this site is not specific to the plant you mention it is specific to grapes.

He plays an Interpol agent who is chasing Constantine and Dominic.
Obviously, Dominic West can carry on swimming as much as he likes.
So all my pictures of Dominic on that trip are of him lying on the beach reading that book.
More than one person has pointed out that Dominic Carter is black—why would he do that?
Dominic Ware has a scorpion encased in resin on a string around his neck.
Perrin kept his deep set, keen eyes fixed on Dominic and his partner.
He would never reproach her if she seemed to fret after Dominic.
This declaration was not communicated to the archbishop, because the work was composed by Fray Dominic de Roxas.
It seemed to Dominic that he could hear the moan of the sea.
At that hour the man got the better of the priest; Francis drove out Dominic.

Amazon Unveils Kindle Fire
Amazon launched its much anticipated tablet last week, dubbed the Kindle Fire. The new slogan says it all: "All the content. Ultra-fast web browsing."
The 7-inch tablet provides a direct portal into the online retailer's digital properties: Amazon Web Services, Instant Video, Kindle Books, Amazon's MP3 music store and its Android app store. The Kindle Fire even comes equipped with free trials to its most popular digital content services, such as the Amazon Prime streaming video service. (Video after the jump.)
The Kindle Fire is not 3G enabled; instead, it uses WiFi. All the media is backed-up and synced wirelessly in the Amazon cloud. The Fire also comes equipped with 8 GB of internal memory, so the user can download and save files directly to the device.
In regard to browsing, the Fire boats a brand new mobile browser called Amazon Silk, which reportedly will enable Adobe Flash browsing on the Web, a key feature which the Apple iPad lacks. Finally and perhaps most importantly, at $199, the Kindle is positioned at a very attractive price point — undercutting the lowest priced iPad which retails for $499.
The iPad is clearly the dominant force in the tablet space, and so it's easy to make comparisons and prophecies about the competitive implications of this new market entrant. However, with the Kindle Fire, Amazon has positioned its tablet as an alternative to the iPad rather than direct competitor. As John Gruber over at Daring Fireball puts it, Amazon and Apple are essentially targeting two different market segments:
"Apple's primary business is selling devices for a healthy profit, and they back that up with a side business of selling digital content for those devices. Amazon's primary business is as a retailer, including as a retailer of digital content. They back that up with a side business of low-cost digital devices that are optimized for on-the-fly purchasing of anything and everything Amazon sells. The Kindles are to Amazon what the printed catalog was to Sears a century ago."
In essence, Amazon is subsidizing the cost of the device in exchange for future digital media revenue. Analysts have suggested that Amazon is taking a loss of around $50 per device in order to offer the Kindle Fire at such a low price point. But it's a small price to pay if it enables and encourages users to purchase from their more profitable market offerings.
The Kindle Fire is available for U.S. pre-orders now, with a ship date of November 15. So, have you ordered one yet?
Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on Amazon's strategy.

JERUSALEM (Oct. 28)
Chief of Staff Gen. David Elazar charged tonight that the supply convoy of food and drugs to the encircled Egyptian Third Army was forced on Israel. Israel was forced to agree, but it will be a one-time operation, he told interviewers on a television program. Elazar said the meeting between Israeli and Egyptian officers was a good sign and they probably would continue because various aspects of the cease-fire remain to be resolved. It is premature to call these talks direct negotiations, Elazar said. Summing up the war, the Chief of Staff said Israel had "too short" notice of the Egyptian-Syrian attacks. He hinted that intelligence assessments were to blame. But, he added, Israel never pinned its defense strategy wholly on early warnings. He said that since 1970 it had developed a strategy whereby the regular army and air corps was always prepared to meet an attack "to avoid catastrophe" while the reserves were mobilized.
Elazar's obvious displeasure over the supply convoy to the Third Army was reflected in Israeli newspaper reports over the weekend that Cabinet ministers and high ranking military officers resented reported U.S. pressure on Israel to allow the resupply operation. The newspaper Haaretz said that Deputy Prime Minister Yigal Allon, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Elazar were particularly angry. They maintained that while Israel should make every effort to respond in general to U.S. requests, it was intolerable that Washington should exert pressure on local tactical problems.
The Third Army, cut off by Israeli forces from all of its supply routes, was in a precarious position without food or water. While Israel at its own initiative supplied the Egyptians with blood plasma for their wounded last Thursday, the question of resupply had been an important card in Israel's hand with regard to solving such cease-fire problems as the POW exchange. Israeli ministers believe that the U.S. promised the USSR that the Third Army would be resupplied without first consulting Israel, Haaretz said.
Yediot Acharonot columnist Ben Porat claimed today that the Third Army had been on the verge of surrender until the U.S. decided to save it. "There is only one explanation for U.S. behavior with this pressure on Israel increasing daily in intensity. The Americans want to prove to Egypt that it is not Russia but the U.S. alone that is able to secure from Israel one concession after another," Porat wrote.

Battery Dead? Don't Freak Out.
Stopped at Meijer today and when I came out, my battery was totally dead. Nothing. Nada. We haven't had a tough winter in years, so I'm out of practice. I freaked for a second. But after calling my son, he talked me off the ledge and said to wiggle the battery contacts. That did the trick.
But if it hadn't, have jumper cables ready. And always park your car as to make your engine compartment most accessible.

Karmin was off to a great start by gaining prominent attention on the web after they uploaded their cover version of Chris Brown's single "Look at Me Now". The clip instantly went viral and became one of YouTube's most viewed videos of 2011. In addition, they were named New Media honoree at 2011 American Music Awards.
The music duo consisting of engaged couple Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan continued to ignite the blogosphere with their covers of popular artists' songs such as Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot" and Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass". Before the end of the year, they got signed to Epic Records and released a new original song called "Crash Your Party".
The song was picked as their introduction as a mainstream music act because it narrated their story of "crashing music industry." Sampling Black Sheep's 1991 song "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" and containing heavy lyrics, it got modest response by peaking at No. 36 on Billboard Pop Songs chart. On the internet, its music video received 8 million views on its first month of release.
Talking about their work, Nick once said, "The best way to classify it is hip-pop, but we want to bring back some of the heavy lyrics." Amy added, "We want music that's gonna stick around."
Next, the duo offered another new song called "Brokenhearted". Embracing the elements of pop rock, disco and R&B, the catchy song led them to climb higher on the Billboard charts. Serving as their first offering from their first major-label CD "Hello", it peaked at the runner-up position on Hot Dance Club Songs and climbed to No. 20 on Hot 100.
While riding on the success of the single, they dropped "Hello" in the market. "We thought it was a perfect title, because it's our introduction album. When you hear the songs in a row, you're going to hear our story," Amy said. They made a modest debut on Billboard Hot 200 by landing at No. 18. The album contained seven songs including "Crash Your Party" and "Brokenhearted".

This is great that you are having this hearing on this issue. This inbalance in the brain is upsurd. They can't prove a single point of this. Yet they provide drugs for some made-up illness.
These drugs are very unsafe, especially given to children. Imagine a 5 year old child being made into an addict for Ritalin. Amazing. Would you have your child put on this stuff? I wouldn't think so.
As a senior agency, you need to stop allowing this to happen. It's for the sake of this planet and its population.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE -- Gloria Llewellyn (Steubenville), Angela Fulst (Martins Ferry), Kelly Jackson (Cambridge) and Dawn Myers (St. Clairsville) spent seven days working 12 hour shifts as part of a special disaster unit created by ResCare, this country's largest private provider of services to people with disabilities, seniors and people looking for jobs. ResCare has a contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to respond with employees who can assist people with disabilities or the elderly at FEMA designated shelters.
Gloria Llewellyn, Angela Fulst, Kelly Jackson and Dawn Myers, as ResCare employees, volunteered to be part of the ResCare On Call team whose members must be ready to roll within 24-hours' notice. All members receive special training, but the biggest skill is being compassionate caregivers in very difficult situations.
Immediately after Sandy, ResCare sent more than 150 employees, known as ROC Stars, to New York to provide aid to individuals with disabilities and seniors forced from nursing care or their own homes and into shelters. ROC Stars are recruited from ResCare operations across the country.
ROC also provides assistance to ResCare operations during emergencies, transitions or natural disasters.
Due to the level of devastation and the exceptional work of ResCare ROC Stars, FEMA requested more volunteers than the numbers in the national contract between ResCare and FEMA.
"ResCare is extremely proud of the employees who participate in our ROC program," said Tonya Mangerie, Regional director. "ResCare's ROC Stars pack their bags with little notice, travel long distances, sleep on cots and don't always know when they will get their next meal. They do this to provide supports and services to people with special needs who are displaced from their homes in a disaster. They represent the heart of our company with the compassion and care they offer to those who are experiencing great loss."
ResCare, with nearly 35 years of experience helping people reach their highest level of independence, is one of the largest providers of home care to the elderly and those with disabilities. It also offers residential and support services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and provides education, vocational training and job placement for people of all ages and skill levels. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, ResCare and its more than 45,000 dedicated employees serve daily nearly 60,000people in 43 states, Washington, D.C. Canada and Puerto Rico.
For information about ResCare, visit the company's website at www.ResCare.com.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The check in staff were efficient. The rooms were old and tired...renovation needed! Very 1980's and they had seen better days.\nThe food was very good and the room service was also good.\nI would not stay at the hotel again....for the money there must be a better place!
I found the floor in the room very dirty. It needs a good clean rather than sweepinp. The floor was sticky. very dissapointing especially when you have a small child.
Location - close to CBD There was no hairdryer in the room and I did not pack my own.
My mother had a single room, with more facilities, toaster, microwave, same size as our double room but lovely and the extra facilities were good for us travelling as a family group. the stairs up to the top floor rooms - long way up at the end of the long days for an elderly lady.
I like the towels for the pool! The only issue I had was when I checked in I wasn't sure if we had already paid since I booked months in adavance. The lady at reception told us the room had already been paid for. When we checked out, we then got told we had not paid.
More entertainment facilities
The staff was very Nice and helpfull, also the location was the best. My fitst room was awfull but my second room was beautiful Checked me in at à dirty room, which I believe was à storage room. But I have to say the reception really cared Aboutaleb my stay and moves me the NeXT day, they were very kind.
air conditioning in room not able to adjust so quite cold or too hot without
great location very clean good value for money staff are very friendly great location to beaches and great exercise area for jogging
Nothing to really mention The room service was not 24 hours
Rain it was the worst month for many a year in NSW
great beds and pillows! We chose this hotel because it was a holiday Monday and local restaurants might be closed in a small town. surprise surprise! so was the restaurant in the hotel. they served food in the bar but the staff seemed confused. After an hour for a starter we found an open restaurant for mains.
Room was comfortable, quiet, and to a high international hotel standard Key hotel facilities (swimming pool, spa) were closed during our stay, due to "essential maintenance" - this was "code" for adjacent additional construction work. Thes facilities were a primary reason for booking these facilities, and not declared (although known about by the hotel at the time of booking). Staff were generally complacent (poached eggs took 25 mins to arrive - requiring two reminders - and were inedibly cold & hard). They were rude when challenged on the lack of facilities (claiming that all people who had booked had been informed by telephone of the absence of facilities, but this perhaps hadn't happened as we had supplied an international number - in fact a UK mobile to allow them to contact us).
Helpfulness of the staff - especial Sarah on the front desk. Breakfast was only buffet only and not in its usual spot. Need to be more competitive if you wish to have guests eat in the hotel.
We were only there for 12 hours - travelling from Brisbane to Sydney - so can only say it was comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful and we loved the position. Sorry - cannot be more thorough. Room service menu was out of date, which nearly stopped us being able to order before the kitchen closed.
the staff were helpful once we'd got over the initial shcok of not having a room available for us despite them having the reservation in their hands. on arrival we were given strange looks and after a short while were told that they'd never heard of booking.com, and thought the confirmation they had recieved for our booking was a virus! the hotel was full as was every other hotel in the area and we had no choice but to sleep in the hotel basement with no bathroom/shower or hot water, and still had to pay 200 dollars. Unacceptable.
The weather and location Not told about the extra charge for parking and no handrail in the pool
in transit door lock was loose and was difficult to open, should be repaired.
Location, friendly staff, great breakfast Extra charge to use intenet
it was good nothing spectacular about it but a good one no complaints
the location and the rooms were fantastic
Convenient location and reasonable rates. Parking located away from rooms.
We liked its quiet and convenience to the town centre and beaches. Its cleanliness and freshness was also a big plus
Location was good, accommodation was average,service was excellent, bed was not that comfortable, facilities (bathroom) aas very small
The hotel was central to the main shopping area, a 5 minute walk. It was comfortable and clean with friendly staff.
Very friendly front desk, quiet area, comfortable room.
The motel was within walking distance of the Glasshouse entertainment centre & the shops which was what we wanted. The shower water went cold off & on
the closeness to town
The very friendly and helpful motel management and staff. No criticisms. Altogether a good all round performance by the hotel
Very nice motel. Close to the centre of town and the beach.
polite and helpfull welcome with explanation of local amenities.Good location, own parking, single slice of toast offered - ie no minimum charge for breakfast. It "does what it says on the tin" good clean,well located ideeal for a night or two when travelling in that area.

Connecticut Supreme Court Rules Same-Sex Marriage Is Legal
Same-sex marriage was legalized in Connecticut today when the state Supreme Court issued a 4-3 decision at 11:30 this morning saying that same-sex couples cannot be denied the freedom to marry according to the state's constitution. Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell said she will abide by the decision even though she believes a marriage should only be between a man and a woman. "The Supreme Court has spoken," Rell said. "I do not believe their voice reflects the majority of the people of Connecticut. However, I am also firmly convinced that attempts to reverse this decision — either legislatively or by amending the state Constitution – will not meet with success." [Boston Globe]
