Exploration is not just limited to the able-bodied, and that is something Gary Guller, expedition leader of a group of people with a wide range of disabilities, set out to prove with an inspiring journey to Mt. Everests base camp.
The freedom to explore is a freedom everybody should have, regardless of their ability or disability, Guller said. I believed it then and I believe it now: Everyone should have the right to explore and be treated as a human being first.
Johnson Space Centers Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity and the centers Disability Advisory Group invited these atypical explorers to comingle with explorers, and facilitators of exploration, of another realmspacewhile taking in the sights and inner workings of JSC. While here on April 5, expedition members took time to share their stories to a captivated audience.
The Team Everest group set out not only to conquer the worlds tallest mountain, but also to shatter existing stereotypes of people with disabilities. Following along with the 15 trekkers representing a range of disabilities from quadriplegia, paraplegia, fibromyalgia, deafness, missing limbs and more was a camera crew to document the experience. The movie borne from it, Team Everest: A Himalayan Journey, showcases the perils and challenges the group faced on the journey to their final destination of base camp, but also the amazing teamwork and support they had for each other.
Its their profound teamwork that sets a shining example for people of all abilities to follow.
It created, I think, one of the greatest documentaries on teamwork in very inhospitable conditions, Guller said.
Their inspiring story can also be a lesson to us when it comes to doing the unimaginablesomething NASA regularly aspires to accomplish.
Well be able to pick up a lot of parallels, JSC Director Dr. Ellen Ochoa said of the Team Everest explorers. It involved an incredible amount of teamwork. With all that, they were able to achieve their mission success.
The group trekked 21 days through the high Himalaya. From their departure in the Sherpa village of Lukla, the team reached an altitude of over 17,500 feet in one of the most inaccessible regions on the planet.
They didnt go it alone. A Nepali support team was engaged to help push, pull and carry members over the rugged, dangerous terrain. On Mt. Everest, the altitude and intense cold can break even the most experienced hikers. However, with grit and determination, the team pushed forward to reach their goal. In making it to base camp, they became the largest group of people with disabilities to ever make it that far on the mountain. Guller, an amputee, went even farther and fulfilled his childhood dream of reaching Mt. Everests peak.
With stunning footage from the kingdom of Nepal, the movie is a heartwarming story of personal ambition, teamwork and cooperation that dares us to reach beyond our perceived limitations and explore our unlimited capacity to dream.
As Guller said of the breathtaking journey, Its like a magic land up there.

Skate Away
Is the ice on the roads interfering with your running regimen? If life gives you ice, ice skate. Seriously, ice skating is a great way to mix up your work out. Plus it is way less stressful on your joints than running. Skating challenges your stamina and balance. Because you are riding that thin little edge your core is put to the test to keep you upright. Plus it is a bone building exercise too.
If you are going to try skating, rent skates that are tight fitting. They should be tighter than your street shoes. Also, dress in layers to keep warm and cushion your falls. Most rinks offer classes and you can learn basic skills like skating backwards and how to fall correctly.
The big bonus to skating is that skating at a moderate pace burns between 430 - 500 calories (depending on weight). Plus it is fun for the whole family. So head to the rink and get skating.

Camilla is 5' 5" (1.65 m) tall.
Camilla: If I have a full day off, I love to hike at Runyon Canyon, run or get girlfriends together to go spin at Soul Cycle.
Camilla: I am a huge horror movie fan, so my guiltiest pleasure is to be lazy for the night after a long day at work, stay in and watch a horror movie.
Camilla: (on her fashion style) My go-to when I'm sort of casual just running errands is grunge, like you'll find me in combat boots and plaids shirts and ripped jeans. For me, that's a go-to comfortable style, and then when I want to make an effort, I'll wear a dress or heels.
Camilla: I'll make a horrible housewife. It's not like I'm disgusting, but I'm pretty bad about having a drink or eating something and then leaving the plate and rushing to go.
Camilla: As a female there aren't too many characters that are very empowering, and there's something very empowering about Lara Croft. She kicks butt and she does it in style. She's confident and she's educated.
Camilla: I think about what I'm eating every day. I still have burgers and stuff that's not good for me sometimes, but I'm always trying to be careful. I don't just eat whatever I want.
Camilla: There have been periods of my life when I was heavier, like right after high school I definitely gained that freshman 15. It was tough to lose. Ever since then, I know that I can gain weight, so I try to be careful.
Camilla: I definitely have curves. I don't intend on losing them.
Camilla: Anyone who says there isn't pressure to look good as an actor in L.A. is lying.
Camilla: It's not like I have the most perfect body in the world. I'm a normal girl.
Camilla: Running is what keeps my weight down. I have to stay active or I could easily gain weight.
Camilla: When I have time, I'll be a good girl and do my chores.

Do You Feel Big or Small?
Collective Evolution: An old Zen story once was told about using the terms "good" or "bad" to judge situations and events as they happen to us. Perhaps you've heard it before. The story is about a farmer who's horse ran away. When the neighbors heard the news, they said, "Such bad luck!" whereas the farmer replied, "maybe." The next day, the horse returned with three more wild horses, and the neighbors once again exclaimed, "How wonderful!", and the farmer again said, "maybe." The following day, the farmers son rode one of the wild horses and was thrown off and broke his leg. The neighbors said, "How unfortunate!" and the farmer's response was "maybe." Finally, the day after, the military was passing through to draft young men to the army. The farmer's son couldn't go, in which the neighbors rejoiced and said, "How fortunate", and the farmer finally said, "maybe!" ...read more>>>...

(CNSNews.com) - The campaign of Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry is criticizing President Bush for featuring Nazi images in an ad on his official reelection campaign website, but the images in question come from an ad featured on the website of liberal advocacy group.
Phil Singer, spokesman for the Kerry campaign, said using Nazi images is "simply wrong"" by any campaign, politician or party. He said it's not only insensitive but diminishes Bush's credibility as president.
"The fact that George Bush thinks it's appropriate to use images of Adolf Hitler in his campaign raises serious questions about his fitness to spend another four years in the White House," said Singer in a statement.
"Adolf Hitler slaughtered millions of innocent people and has no place in a campaign that is supposed to be about the future and hope of this nation," added Singer.
"The President's use of these images during a month that evoked the memory of World War II is remarkably insensitive to the sacrifices of the millions of people who lost their lives during Hitler's reign of terror," he said.
The Anti-Defamation League also expressed disappointment with the Bush campaign's use of the Nazi images.
"Using images of Hitler and terminology from the Nazi regime in campaign attacks is offensive and demeaning to the memory of the six million and others who died in the Holocaust," said Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the ADL, in a press release.
But this is not the first time the intermingling of Nazi images and politics were found on a website.
Earlier this year, Moveon.org organized an ad contest, and one of the ads that were submitted and posted on the website for judging portrayed President George Bush as Adolf Hitler. The winner of the contest would win air time during the president's 2004 state of the union address.
A spokesman for the Bush campaign told CNSNews.com the images on their website serve a different purpose than that of Moveon.org.
"It is a web-video that we sent to our supporters so they can see examples of the kind of hateful and vitriolic rhetoric that we have seen from John Kerry's surrogates," said Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel.
"We are simply showing our supporters what the president's opponents have had to say about him and comparing that kind of hateful language to the president's positive optimistic vision," he added.
The ad begins with the words, "The following video contains remarks made by and images from ads sponsored by Kerry supporters. John Kerry has denounced our use of these ads attacking the President. He has not denounced liberal supporters like Al Gore, George Soros, and many others who have made speeches comparing the President to Adolf Hitler."
The ad continues with the words: "The Faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party - The Coalition of the Wild-Eyed." Former Vice President Al Gore is shown yelling, "How dare they drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud of Saddam Hussein's torture prison."
The video then shows the words: "What were war crimes in 1945 - foreign policy in 2003, sponsored by Moveon.org." That is followed by a collage of video featuring various liberals.
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean is featured saying, "I want my country back," followed by filmmaker Michael Moore saying, "We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons." Then Missouri Congressman Richard Gephardt is shown saying, "This president is a miserable failure."
The words "God told me to strike at al-Qaida and I struck them" are shown over top of a picture of Adolf Hitler while Hitler is heard speaking in German. The picture of Hitler disappears and is replaced by a picture of Bush, while the words "...and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did," are centered on the screen. That portion of the video is clearly marked "images from a MoveOn.org ad."
The ad continues with footage of Gore yelling, "He betrayed this country. He played on our fears." Then Kerry is shown, saying "Today ... George Bush will lay off your camel, tax your shovel, kick your [bleep] and tell you there is no Promised Land."
The ad concludes with the words: "This is not a time for pessimism and rage..." Then a picture of Bush is featured, with the words: "It's a time for optimism, steady leadership, and progress."
Both parties have been advised by the Anti-Defamation League to refrain from using the Nazi images.
"After a proliferation of references to Hitler and the Nazis began appearing in the wind-up to the Presidential election season, we called on the Democratic and Republican parties to refrain from adopting Nazi imagery as a political attack tool," said Foxman in a statement.
"We had hoped then that both parties had heard our concerns. For us, this is neither a Democratic nor a Republican issue, but rather a matter of respecting the feelings of those who could be offended by such images, including Jewish Holocaust survivors and their families."

#"First Hands-On with littleBits. Yes I'm grinning a lot."
The lovely lovely people in Sugru sent me a littleBits kit and a great book yesterday. I have been intrigued by littleBits since I saw discovered it via the Adafruit site a while back. Soon afterwards they raised bunch of money and I was pleased to see Ireland's own PCH involved in the production.
If you are not familiar with littleBits, it's a beautifully simple way of learning about electronics using parts which just snap together using magnets.
I've had a little play with it and it's great fun. However I won't give any detailed impressions until I let some of my younger kids at it. I want to see what they think. The opinions of a 44 y/o who did Electronic Engineering in college are less relevant!
In the meantime, here's a few pictures of the Starter Kit.

Mumbai: Mein Pareeshan Pareeshan girl, the dusky and steamy beauty of tinsel town Parineeti Chopra, who has been quite well in news since the day she debuted herself in Bollywood with the flick 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl', is not single at all. Despite her claims and her name's linkage with Uday Chopra, she maintains claims that she is very well single and whenever she falls with someone, she will be the first to announce it. Well, Parineeti, you might be new in Hindi cinema but the viewers of the movies are not new at all since they have been hearing these kinds of claims at the outset. Initially these claims are made and the link-up reports are denied very strongly, but later on the stars themselves admit dating the same person. Wow!
But yes she is not dating Uday Chopra, as the rumors have been surfacing in the media, but her claim to be single is not at all true. Our little birdie fluttered the wings and brought in the news about Ms. Chopra's affair with a Bollywood man (media reports also say the same). Yes, he is from the filmdom. He is none other than Maneesh Sharma, the director of Band Baaja Baarat and Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl. Parineeti made her cinematic debut under his captaincy in Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl and fetched many awards at awards functions last year.
Maneesh has also signed her in his upcoming film opposite Shahid Kapoor. She was also spotted having dinner with Maneesh at a restaurant. Parineeti has also mentioned in one of her interview that it was Maneesh who recommended her name to Aditya Chopra and Habib Faisal for Ishaqzaade.
Well, Parineeti, don't you think it is too early to get involved with someone as it is just the start of your career? You knows better, babe – we can just knit a piece of advice.

What Are Pajaki? And How Do You Get Your Hands On One?
The Polish word "pajaki" literally translates to "spiders of straw" in English, but the paper chandeliers made through this art form are so much prettier than the name would suggest. The town of Lowicz, which is 90 miles outside Warsaw, and surrounding villages are known for their colorful folk art, but, lately, the pajaki, which are also called mobiles, are generating some buzz on the internet. The delicate paper chandeliers are handmade by girls and women to decorate the home in bright colors of pink, orange, yellow, blue, and purple. These colorful mobiles, along with flower paintings and paper cut-outs, probably provided a much needed respite from the dreary Polish winters. Sometimes, all you need is a bright and colorful greeting to make you forget Jack Frost at your back. Fortunately, you don't have to go all the way to Poland to get your hands on a pajaki. The Polish Art Center has several examples of traditional pajaki created by the older, less modern generation. Or you can try your hand at making one yourself, like this one by Wren Handmade. And if you're in the NYC area, I hear designer Lena Corwin sells her versions for $35 to $65 at the Brooklyn Flea Design Co-Op]

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
If any work fits the definition of a classic, it is surely Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. Since its first publication in 1818 it has been issued in subsequent editions scores of times, and in dozens of translations to other languages. Frankenstein and his unhappy creature have become part of our collective unconscious, with creator and created often conflated in later generations' minds. In theater, film, and television the Frankenstein story has become a staple, rivaling Bram Stoker's Dracula for the title of most adapted supernatural horror story. From Frankenstein (1931) to Frankenhooker (1990), from the sublime to the ridiculous, popular culture has made Mary Shelley's myth its own.
Mary Shelley's novel can be read on several different levels. The most superficial is a melange of science fiction and the Gothic novel. In fact, many commentators have asserted that Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is not a Gothic or horror novel at all, but one of the first instances of science fiction. To appreciate Shelley's influence it requires only a superficial look at the plethora of subsequent stories which feature scientists defying God and trying to create life. Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and H.P. Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward are but two.
As pure science fiction, however, Frankenstein falls short as does its descendant Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. There is little scientific detail. The chapter dealing with the creation of the homonoid is noticeably obscure, supplying the reader with almost no information on the process. Victor Frankenstein, the young "father" of the monster, is more like a medieval alchemist than a 19th Century scientist. He refers to a secret he has stumbled upon in his study and experimentation which makes him "capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter" and to the "dissecting room and the slaughterhouse [which] furnish many of my materials." Beyond this, there is almost nothing which the reader can use to form a picture of how this eight-foot monstrosity was fashioned.
As a Gothic novel the work is far more successful. It features many of the conventions and icons of that genre. As in Todorov's working definition, the mood is one of fear and terror, with the creature threatening Victor and his loved ones, and fulfilling that threat. He murders Victor's bride, Elizabeth, his brother, William, and his friend, Henry, and ultimately causes Victor's own death in the frozen Arctic. The settings are also typical of the genre: blasted expanses of terrain, like the Arctic locale at the beginning and end of the novel; primeval forests like the one in which the creature hides after he flees Frankenstein's laboratory.
The structure of Frankenstein also adheres to the Gothic model. The story is told largely through letters, journals, and flashback narrations rather than through a straightforward third person or first person narrator. This narrative mode would also become a favorite among horror writers for decades to come, most notably J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Bram Stoker, and Robert Louis Stevenson.
While the creature appeared on film as early as 1910 in an Edison short, most of the conventions of future Frankenstein films would be established by James Whale in the first feature adaptation of Shelley's novel. Frankenstein (1931) introduced conventions only hinted at in the orginal work or not present at all. First, the physical terrain of Frankenstein's laboratory is visualized concretely by Whale. Frankenstein's method of reanimation is also made specific as he becomes a master surgeon who stitches dead bodies together and then electrifies them, using lightning as his source, recalling the Promethean allusion of the original. Whale also created the look of the creature. Mary Shelley chose to rely on the reader's imagination and the other characters' terrified reactions to the monster to carry the effect.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Thanks for the information. Sorry about the wait. A permanent erection is a serious concern in a dog. The condition is called paraphimosis, and it usually requires emergency treatment. Cool water soaks and application of a dextrose containing solution is necessary to reduce swelling. The penis is then lubricated to place back into the prepuce. Sometimes a urinary catheter may be needed to keep the urethra patent. The concern here is that a dog with an erection more than 1 day is at serious risk of tissue necrosis of the penis. Usually, at that point, amputation of the penis is necessary. I am concerned that the darkened areas you are seeing is necrosis. My recommendation would to be to get him to your nearest emergency vet immediately to get him evaluated. The website below has more information for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Hope this helps.

Deadline this week for state to pick option under Obamacare
Gov. Tom Corbett will decide by Friday whether the state will set up its own online health insurance marketplace or leave the task to the federal government.
That's the deadline for letting the federal Department of Health and Human Services know the state's plans, said Rosanne Placey, spokeswoman for the state Insurance Department, which is leading the state's examination of the marketplaces, known as exchanges.
"A final decision hasn't been reached yet," said Placey, who noted that she expects the administration to publicly announce its decision.
The exchanges are a key part of President Obama's health care reform that will expand insurance coverage to millions of Americans.
The online marketplaces are supposed to be open by Oct. 1 so that individuals and small businesses can buy insurance for 2014. Federal subsidies to help low-wage workers buy insurance will only be available through exchanges.
If Pennsylvania decides against setting up its own exchange, the federal government will take over. There is a third option, known as a partnership exchange in which the state would run some aspects and Washington would handle others.
If states go that route, they have until Feb. 15 to let Health and Human Services know which parts of a partnership exchange they will run.
Three Democratic state senators from Eastern Pennsylvania last week urged Corbett, a Republican who opposed the health care reform law, to set up a state-based exchange.
"We have an opportunity to work with the Obama administration to tailor an insurance exchange that fits the needs of people across Pennsylvania. We must not pass up this opportunity," said state Sen. Shirley Kitchen, the Democratic chairwoman of the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee.
Kitchen was joined by Sens. Mike Stack, Democratic chairman of the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee, and Anthony Williams, Democratic whip, in calling for Corbett to act quickly.
Administration officials have said previously that they needed answers to a range of questions about exchanges before a decision could be made.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on Monday released answers to 39 "Frequently Asked Questions" about exchanges and other aspects of the reform law.
Placey said officials are reviewing those answers.

Tax attorneys understand the interplay of different tax laws and regulations, and in planning strategies to minimize people's tax liabilities. Many tax laws are written by lawyers for lawyers, and as such are very difficult to understand. There are also many different types of taxes and tax laws–for example, income taxes, corporate and business taxes, death taxes, property taxes, estate and gift taxes, sales taxes, and international taxes. Sometimes taxes are based on an inflated or incorrect value the government has placed on an entity or activity. Tax attorneys will help you challenge the value or the tax itself, and help you reduce your taxes through careful planning.

LATE-PCR &Thermalight Probes: Single-Tube Solutions For Personalized Cancer Medicine
Conference Recording Jan 06, 2013
About the SpeakerDr. J. Aquiles Sanchez, Ph.D. has over 10 years of experience working on the development of LATE-PCR based diagnostic assays. He is one of the original inventors of LATE-PCR and allied technologies and has several patents of these methods. He has a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Brandeis University, was Research Director at TranXenoGgen, Inc, and has worked for several biotechnology companies on projects ranging from enhanced fluorescent in situ hybridization, pre-implantation genetic diagnostics, and cancer biomarker detection. He is currently a Senior Research Scientist at the Laboratory of Molecular Diagnostics and Global Health at Brandeis University.
Numerous mutations in EGFR exons 18-21 determine sensitivity or resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in many patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC). Current technologies for detection of all such mutations utilize DNA sequencing or high resolution melting analysis, but interrogate only one exon at a time. We describe a convenient single closed-tube assay for simultaneous mutation scanning of all four EGFR exons. The assay utilizes two novel technologies invented in our laboratory: LATE-PCR, an advanced form of non-symmetric PCR and Lights-On/Lights-Off fluorescent probes. This multiplexed LATE-PCR assay simultaneously generates separate single-stranded amplicons for exons 18-21. The resulting products are 130-200 nucleotides long and each is probed at endpoint over a broad range of temperatures using a set of Lights-On/Lights-Off probes in a particular color. The signal from each bound Lights-On probe is quenched upon binding of an adjacent Lights-Off probe at a lower temperature. The resulting fluorescent signatures distinguish wild-type and silent mutations from TKI-related mutations with a sensitivity of 10% and a limit of detection down to single molecules. This single closed-tube assay runs in standard fluorescent thermocyclers, has proven reliable on genomic DNA from cultured cell lines, and is ready for validation with clinical samples.

Stone gorgets are found chiefly in the eastern sections of Oklahoma, although occasional specimens may be found in almost any part of the state. They are not common artifacts at any site, but sufficient numbers of them have been found that they would not be considered rare. This artifact is much more common in the Great Lakes region where it is associated with the Archaic and Woodland periods. Oklahoma appears to lie on the western periphery for the distribution of these artifacts.
The term gorget is used for items which are perforated with two or more holes. The term itself implies that the object was worn around the throat or suspended on the breast. They are commonly called "ceremonial stones" by collectors, and it is most likely that the stone gorget had some social significance. Exactly what this was still eludes us, and it is probable that it differed from group to group.
The stone gorgets are usually quite thin in cross section and were made from a flattened piece of shale, slate or similar material. Although some styles tend to be thicker than others, most specimens fall between 8 mm and 12 mm in thickness. The gorget was manufactured by a grinding and polishing process. In preparing the initial preform, it was sometimes roughly shaped by percussion and the use of a hammerstone, which is still evident on Figure 25c. These initial shaping scars, however, are usually ground out with smoothing and polishing of the surface. The perforations were usually drilled after the final shaping of the gorget, and the placement of the
two holes usually depends upon the outline of the specimen. The bow-tie and reel-shaped forms, for example, have the holes placed close together at the center (Figure 25b and d); long oval-shaped forms have the holes placed far apart toward the ends (Figure 25a). The perforations often show wear from a cord suggesting how the object was suspended. Talley marks are sometimes present on the edges (Figure a ').
Gorgets that were broken were commonly salvaged or repaired. Breaks often occurred at the perforation and in such a case the broken edge was smoothed over and a new hole drilled. The specimen shown in Figure 25c was initially a longer elliptical shaped gorget with three holes. When one end broke off, the break was ground down, smoothed, and then perforated once again. While the original symmetry of the gorget is lost, the major portion was salvaged and retained.
The specimen shown in Figure 25d well illustrates the use of lacing holes for the repair of a broken gorget. Five extra holes were drilled along the broken edge for lacing a thong to bind the fragments together. Since one of the original central perforations had to be used for the sixth lacing hole, two additional central perforations were made for symmetry and balance.
Stone gorgets found in Oklahoma are most frequent in Late Archaic and Caddoan occupations in both the Arkansas and Red river valley areas.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Alarm sound issue Reading back in the reviews, I noticed Jase is having the same issues as myself. The alarm intermittently will operate with out sound despite being on level 6. Another fault it has started to do is randomly change the time. I was awake at 6.30am but the digital display was reading 3.30am. This is starting to bug me as I'm worried I can't depend on this product to wake me up or get me to work on time! Will contact the product assistant team hopefully this can get resolved... As it's my luck it's just out of warranty!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Has anybody else experienced this problem? I've had my RC-DC1 for about four months and it has generally worked very well. EXCEPT... On three occasions the radio alarm has not made a sound when it has activated. The first time it happened, I overslept. Luckily, the last two times it has happened I woke up not long after it was due to go off anyway. It is absoltuely imperative that my alarm clock wakes me up in the morning! All the other features become largely irrelevant if it isn't performing its core function properly. On each occasion it's happened, I've done nothing that might change the way the alarm functions. One day it works, the next day it doesn't. Then the next day it works again....It is not happening on any particular day of the week. The alarm is definitely activating, as the 'Alarm1' indicator is flashing. I have noticed, however, that the 'Alarm1' indicator flashes quicker when the alarm is not making a sound that it does when the alarm is functioning normally. Can anybody tell me what the problem might be? This is a most frustrating issue for what is otherwise a very good alarm clock.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Bad buy First, the buttons for the alarm are located on the front side of the unit and are very sensitive to the touch. Guaranteed you will accidentally put on the alarm at the most inconvenient times, Further, you cannot shut off the alarm from the unit itself, you can only snooze it. To completely shut it off, you need to download the "memory loader" app on you iphone, and sync the unit with your phone. However, the first sync never works. You first need to disable the alarm, then enable it, then shut it off again. Also, be aware that the unit is not compatible with the iphone5, which i don't have, but it does not always link well with the 4S either, which I do have. Unfortunately, I am extremely dissatisfied with this purchase. The positives are that it is a compact unit and the double alarm would be a positive, if it wasn't so annoying to disable!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from I really Like this alarm clock, it works so much better than the app i had purchased. However there are a few things that, in my opinion would make it the most amazing alarm i have ever had. I would really appreciate being able to pick which songs i wake up to rather than having the app pick something for me. I would also really enjoy having a sleep timer so i can listen to books or music as i fall asleep. this one is not as important but the other would be a nice addition to a fine machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best alarm clock ever! Bought this for my wife for Christmas. I did a lot of researching on the net for multiple brands, options and so forth but this one seemed like a good choice. So I bought it and couldn't wait to give it to my wife. She actually received it before Christmas. She was pretty excited about it due to the fact it had a iPhone dock. Then after using and getting more familiar with the features, she really loves her new alarm clock. I didn't know an alarm clock would be such a cool gift.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Still Sleeping The clock just died after 8 months of use. To be more specific the radio tuner stopped working and the rest of the clock just went berserk. Remember when an alarm clock cost $20 and lasted 20 years. I guess I am heading back to get my Dad's alarm clock.

Bollywood has crossed Hollywood in terms of viewership numbers on 2004. We want to keep all these viewers of Bollywood updated about the happenings in the industry.
- Kulraj Randhawa says that she would love to do Hema Malini's role in Sholay. The actress who shot into fame with the TV serial, Karishma Karishma made her Bollywood debut with Yamla Pagla Deewana. Kulraj says her unwillingness to give up sets her apart from her contemporaries.
- Ajay Devgn feels that buying the rights for a film is in a way paying tribute to the film. The actor is of the opinion that if one is inspired by a film he should buy it's rights. It is the ethical thing to do according to him. The actor's next film, Bol Bachchan is inspired by Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Gol Maal.
- The Deols are all set to make a sequel of their 2011 hit, Yamla Pagla Deewana. This time Preity Zinta replaces Kulraj Randhawa and Samir Karnik has been replaced by Sangeeth Sivan as the director. Preity is working with Sunny Deol in his next film, Bhaiyyaji Superhit.
- Ayushmann Khurana says that he has received an offer to do the sequel of Tere Bin Laden. The actor informs that he has not signed the film yet. He will be also doing Humara Bajaj with Shoojit Sircar. Ayushmann says that fame is transitory and one should give their best.
- King Khan has completed 20 whole years in this industry. The actor admits that he was a lucky man to have made it without looks or a game plan. He also admits of committing numerous mistakes in these 20 years. He adds that he is too silly to realise that something is impossible, which is how he ends up achieving the thing.
- Karan Johar is supposedly making two films with Emraan Hashmi.If the Karan and Emraan combination seems unconventional the names of the films are even more unusual. While Rensil D'Silva is directing Unglee, Akshay Roy will be directing Gippie. Unglee will also star Randeep Hooda, Neha Dhupia and Kangna Ranaut. Deepika has been signed as the female lead of Gippie which is being co produced by Balaji. Balaji though says that the name Gippie is not the final title of their film.
- Katrina Kaif does not have a single 100 crore film to her name still Bollywood insiders call her most popular and bankable. Kunal Kohli says that he knows her personally and would love to work with her. Katrina has three films in the pipeline( Dhoom 3, Ek tha Tiger and YRF's next). Sirish Kunder says that Katrina is an extremely talented, hardworking actress and she makes a huge impact in the industry.
- Salman's nerve problem may get worse if he continues doing action scenes. The actor suffers from a disease called Trigeminal Neuralgia which causes intense pain in his face. He has already undergone a surgery on 2011. The action scenes he is shooting for Dabangg 2 are having a harmful effect on his conditions.
- Akshay Kumar will be soon doing a film directed by A.R. Murugadoss. Murugadoss who had earlier directed Ghajini will make a remake of his film Thuppakki. The film will be directed by Vipul Shah who is a close friend of Akshay's. The female lead of the film has not been decided yet. The shooting will start in December.
Well it is time to bid farewell to you but we will definitely come back with more tomorrow.

Bangui, Central African Republic (AFP) Dec 13, 2013
France warned Friday of a dangerous spiral of sectarian violence in the Central African Republic as the UN said more than 600 people had died in recent unrest.
French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian flew into the capital Bangui early Friday and met some of the 1,600 French troops deployed in the country before he was due to hold talks with the country's interim authorities.
His arrival came amid continued unrest in the capital, where residents reported seeing bands of armed thugs roaming the streets and hearing heavy bursts of gunfire in some neighbourhoods.
UN refugee agency UNHCR said that more than 600 people had been killed in the violence in CAR in the past week, including 450 in Bangui and 160 in other parts of the country.
It said the death toll was likely to rise as new bodies were found.
"The spiral of confrontation has abruptly worsened," Le Drian said in a speech to about 200 French soldiers in Bangui, also warning of "the early beginnings of a humanitarian crisis".
Concerns have been growing over the humanitarian situation in the impoverished country, which was plunged into chaos after a rebel-backed coup ousted president Francois Bozize in March.
France sent troops into its ex-colony at the weekend to bolster an African peacekeeping force that has struggled to contain increasing violence, including sectarian clashes between Christians and Muslims.
Le Drian said he was in the country to offer "the support of a proud nation" to French troops, who suffered their first losses when two soldiers were killed in clashes on Monday.
UNHCR said the violence had forced nearly 160,000 residents of Bangui from their homes in the past week. They were spread over some 40 sites, including in camps, churches and mosques.
Many were living rough, their misery compounded by recent downpours.
At a camp of 45,000 displaced people by Bangui airport, the distribution of food on Friday turned violent with the plundering of rations of rice, oil and beans.
"It's four days since my three children and I have had anything to eat," said Jean-Marie Namesene, 41, a civil servant who managed to get his portion before the looting began. "Thank you, thank you to the people who did this."
Others were not so lucky.
"I've been waiting for six hours, no one lets me pass," said Yvette Kimina, a 32-year-old with three children, while another desperate woman in the queue stood breastfeeding her baby.
French troops 'impartial'
Meanwhile, Le Drian was to meet later Friday with interim president Michel Djotodia, the former leader of the now disbanded Seleka rebel coalition that ousted Bozize.
Djotodia became the first Muslim president of the majority Christian country following the coup, but while some Seleka members remained loyal, others started spreading terror which government forces could not stop.
Months of massacres, rapes and looting followed, with locals forming Christian vigilante groups in response.
The UN's human rights office said that 27 Muslims had been killed by militia in one village and raised concerns about "retaliatory attacks between Christians and Muslim communities".
"We are alarmed at the increasing tensions among religious communities," said Ravina Shamdasani, spokeswoman for the UN high commissioner for human rights.
Prime Minister Nicolas Tiangaye told France 24 television he regretted that "religious communities that had always lived together in perfect harmony are now massacring each other."
Le Drian responded to accusations from the Muslim community that France favoured the country's Christians, insisting that French troops "will be impartial to the end" and were "very conscious of the importance of their mission."
Despite some signs of life returning to normal, the situation remained extremely tense in parts of Bangui.
Heavy exchanges of gunfire were heard early Friday in the western neighbourhood of Miskine, residents said.
"It was horrible. There was firing everywhere," said one resident, who gave her name only as Jennifer.
In downtown Bangui however, banks were reopening and petrol stations were operating for the second day running.
Long queues formed as taxi drivers returned to the streets and residents filled up on kerosene for the generators often used in a city that suffers from frequent power cuts.
"It is my first day at work since December 5," said taxi driver Theodore Jusalin. "There are errands to run. People are starting to go out, to go to work."
Humanitarian groups have urged the United Nations to do more to provide desperately needed aid to Bangui and on Friday UN children's agency UNICEF said it was sending a major airlift of supplies to the capital.

Ever wondered what the Hispanic population is in Texas's 27th congressional district? Or how many veterans live in Florida's 1st district?
Now you can find the answers in one place, thanks to a new tool on the Census Bureau's Web site.
The tool provides demographic data for the inhabitants of every congressional district in the country -- numbers on gender, age, place of birth, etc.
Why does it matter? When trying to understand the reason for a lawmaker's vote, a lot can be gleaned by looking at the demographic makeup of the district he or she represents in Congress.
So go ahead and bookmark the tool now -- or at least after you spend a good amount of time playing around with it (which is what we did).

Thread: Does the F10 M5 really need to keep getting compared to the Nissan GT-R? Chris Harris does exactly that
Chris Harris' take on the BMW F10 M5 and Nissan GT-R
"Are they rivals, not really. Is the GT-R faster? Yes. Would you rather live with the M5 every day? Yes."
He enjoyed every bit of both cars. Check it out.
Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film.

Another F10 M5 vs GTR review by Drive
Chris Harris does a review of the F10 M5 vs 2012 GTR.
Does the F10 M5 really need to keep getting compared to the Nissan GT-R? Chris Harris does exactly that
Why do people keep comparing the M5 to the GT-R? It is idiotic. We said as much when Autocar did it a few weeks ago. First, Mr. Harris starts with bagging on the E60 M5. The SMG III gearbox was really that confusing for him? The miles per gallon were an issue? It's a 5.0 liter V10 that revs to over 8000 RPM. Gallardo owners are not complaining about their MPG and neither was anyone who could afford an M5. The new F10 M5 is not going to be a Prius with its 17/22 MPG. Frankly, the fuel economy hit of the E60 M5 is worth it when you consider it does not need fake engine noise piped into the cabin.
Ok, let's forget the ridiculous and undeserved shots at the previous generation M5, like faulting it for not having a dual clutch. The stretch to comparing the M5 to the GTR is absurd. Yes, we all get they both have twin turbo engines and a dual clutch gearbox. So what, on that basis is it logical to compare a Z06 to an E39 M5 because they are both manual and naturally aspirated V8's? These cars are aimed at different targets and we do not need to keep seeing M5 to GTR comparisons.
When wanting to learn about the M5 it is oh so much fun to see a reviewer fawn over the GTR. Especially the ever so relevant mention of how the GTR does on the UK's wet roads as if anyone with an M5 is somehow unaware the car is rear wheel drive or searching for a smaller all wheel drive car to cross shop with to make rear passengers more uncomfortable.
And using Google search volume as evidence for a natural comparison? Seriously? I looked at the top Google search trends for February 24. Kathy Ireland and Danica Patrick are in the top 10. Oh, well, this must mean it would be logical to have Danica and Kathy race each other in the Daytona 500. They are both women after all, that makes sense. Get out of here with this type of nonsense.
Chris Harris states the M5 can feel big and cumbersome compared to the GT-R. This is automotive journalism? A mid-size sedan feels bigger and not quite as maneuverable as a sports coupe? Thank you Chris. Maybe you can find out how the M5 feels next to a Miata next. They are both rear wheel drive after all, totally natural.
We do not want any more of these forced comparisons between the M5 and GTR. They are different cars. They serve a different purpose. Please stop doing it and compare the M5 to the CTS-V and the updated M157 twin turbo E63 for a proper and relevant comparison the world actually wants to see. Watching someone ramble on endlessly about the GT-R in the wet is simply meaningless and worthless in the context of the M5. Give us some real journalism and not content for the sake of content.

His review is much better than the previous. He actually covers all aspects of the comparison. Not saying there is a comparison.

What an idiot!
He actually says the two cars have "soo much in common." WTF? "There's one area where the BMW absolutely crucifies the GTR"... cabin quality... duh?

Crazy Rumor HibisKiss
Crazy Rumors, the all-natural and vegan lip care company introduced this product a while back. They are branching out into, wait for it, colours! That's great news for those of us who like a slight tint to our lip balms. The colours are derived from the colours of the hibiscus flowers and are the perfect blend between a matte tint and a lip balm. You can can also use it on your cheeks -- I purchased it in Tropical but there are 5 other colours available, variants for all skin tones and you can also buy it in packs of all the colours. At $6 a tube, it's a little on the steep side but still quite reasonable in the grand scheme of things, so this is a definite must-buy! Plus the packagin is adorable...What are you waiting for -- 'Click', 'Click' and 'Click', buying has never been easier!

Just a little bit of happiness of this gloomy, gray day. A pretty ball of flowers always cheers me up! How about you?

mfl: What's you're earliest childhood memory?
Starr D: That would be when I was about 3 sitting outside in the shade with my grandfather during the summer in NY. We lived in an apartment building so he would take his beach chair and a little child's beach chair and we would go around the corner to a driveway and sit under the trees there. The kitchen window would overlook this area and my grandma would look down and wave at me.
mfl: Favourite holiday destination and why?
Starr D: Well, in all honesty, it used to be NYC for Saint Patrick's Day. But now, people have overly abused that holiday so bad that it isn't fun anymore. I got into an arguement with someone who said all the Irish are a bunch of drunks. Needless to say, I don't drink and this person who made the statement wasn't Irish and was hitting the bottle quite hard.
mfl: If you had to choose a cocktail to represent "fashion" which would it be?
Starr D: I think a Mimosa. You elegance and high price of champagne which could be haute couture and then you have orange juice which can represent the more economic and every day styles that make more sense.
mfl: Out of all the celebrities you've crossed paths with, who has been your fave?
Starr D: Easy. Shannon Elizabeth. She is very humble and down to earth. I don't like people that act fake and I also don't like attitudes. Shannon also has a wonderful charity that I believe in called Animal Avengers (.com). I wish more celebs were like her. The other would be Lisa Arturo, who I met through Shannon. She is a riot and also very down to earth. These two actresses are the kind that make you feel welcomed into a group and not portray that they are higher than you because they are celebs. Oh, I also have to mention Miss Teen USA, Tammi Farrell. She is also a doll. She really is the all-American Apple Pie sweetheart.
mfl: What's the best piece of advice you've been given?
Starr D: "See that Nike ad? Well, just do it." I said that to myself when I was going into the subway by Times Square not sure if I would do well with the jeans. I am doing it. I plan to keep on doing it (fashion designing) for a long, long time.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My dad passed unexpectedly recently without a will. He was not married, so my sister and I are taking care of his estate. His assets include a $50,000 inheritance coming in soon from his mother, which will be passed to my sister and me. There is also a retirement account in which my sister and I were named beneficiaries. His total estate is under $150,000, which means it will not have to go through the probate process in California.
My sister and I believe we need to open up a new bank account in order to deposit his assets and pay off some debts. My question is whether this would need to be an actual estate account or if a regular joint account would suffice. Thank you.
I'm sorry about your father's death.
The whole purpose of Probate Code section 13100 (the small estates procedure) is to avoid having to open a probate. You are correct that the limit as of 1/1/2012 for using the small estates procedure is $150,000. See: http://leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=prob&group=13001-14000&file=13100-13116
Unless you open a formal probate, I believe you will have considerable difficulty opening an estate account - if you try, the bank will most likely ask you for copies of "letters testamentary", which you can only get in a formal probate proceeding. Therefore, your only choices are a joint account or for each of you to open a separate account.
One disadvantage to using a joint account is that if either you or your sister were to die before you finished settling your father's estate, the survivor would automatically become the sole owner of the joint account - meaning that if you passed away before things were settled, your family would not be legally entitled to any money remaining in that account and if your sister passed away before things were settled, her family would not be legally entitled to the money remaining in the joint account.
But if you're not concerned about the possibility of your respective families losing the money in the joint account, it is probably the simplest solution for a small estate.
The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation.Ask a similar question
I need more information to answer this completely, but several things stand out. First, you should research whether the inheritance from his mother is really an asset of the estate. There is probably a survivorship requirement. Second, the threshold for avoiding probate is under $ 100,000, not $ 150,000. You are correct that you do not include a retirement account that passes by beneficiary designation. Third, as a general matter I recommend opening a separate bank account so that you can account for assets in and expenses out.
You should check with a local attorney and provide all the facts before making a decision about this case. Good luck.Ask a similar question
Mr. Larsen is incorrect ... Section 13100 of the California probate code was amended as of 1/1/2012 and it now applies to estates worth $150,000 or less. See: http://leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=prob&group=13001-14000&file=13100-13116
Ms. Brewer is correct that Section 13100 has been amended. I apologize for that oversight.
If you and sister are beneficiaries of retirement, then it's not in estate or available to creditors. Same with joint tenancy property. If gma survived your father her 50k is out too.
A joint account would do just keep separate. Check retirement. There are. Benefits to leaving it in inherited Ira.Ask a similar question
Requirement accounts can be transferred to the beneficiaries directly either in a lump sum (all taxable income) or by rolling-over the portion of the account to which the beneficiary is entitled ( a beneficiary IRA) with no taxable consequences. The $50,000 future pay out can probably be transferred directly to you and your sister and won't need a probate or administration. It can be handled if need be by an declaration of herisip under Probate Code Section 13101. Since there are no monies to deposit under the facts that you have provided, an additional account would not appear to be necessary.

I haven't looked at this code for a long time, but I don't think that it will understand wildcards put the host exactly as it appears in the error message in the mom log


text: My room wasn't big, but I was nonetheless pleasantly surprised by it, given what I paid. The hotel has some style, though my room was a little characterless, and had no view of anything interesting out the window. The room had a simple desk, which was useful to me. I needed to do laundry, and they had a simple in-house laundromat which was cheap and easy to use. Everything was spotlessly clean. Two subway station were within about a seven-minute walk. Reception staff were friendly and polite. For one person, the room was fine. For two, though it had a double bed, it would have been a little cramped. And as I say, the room didn't have much character--pretty functional. But these are quibbles -- really, there wasn't anything to complain about. I would recommend it.
