'DC Universe Online' Opens In-Game Marketplace; Could It Be Heading Free-to-Play?
In a slight change of pace from its usual mission and/or cosmetic-oriented updates, Sony's DC Universe Online MMO has added its own official DCUO Marketplace, which allows you to buy new in-game content with real-world money. According to Massively, the marketplace currently only stocks three items including Proto Repair-Bots for repairs on the fly and two grades of Vault tickets, which give players access to certain rewards. All three items can be purchased using Sony's standard MMO currency Station Cash, which players can buy to fund a virtual wallet — kind of like digitally trading quarters for tokens at an arcade. It's an interesting move, particularly since it's something other MMOs have done to prepare for a transition from pay-to-play — which DC Universe Online currently is — to free.Although there's not a lot to shop for yet, the official DCUO FAQ page says "Wearables, Vault tickets, convenience items and other fun wares will be found in the Marketplace." Fans have had access to plenty of special wearables, but the term "convenience item" is a bit intriguing. Players on the villainous side of the fence might consider an item like Kryptonite convenient from time to time.
There's currently no word on when more items might crop up, but the addition of microtransaction features to the game could open up a lot of new possibilities for players. Who wouldn't like to be able to buy a Cosmic Treadmill or Mother Box to call their own? Of course, given the game runs $40-50, plus a $15 per month subscription fee, some players may want to the hold the line at… well, a dollar amount lower than what they'd be spending to buy a lot of extras.
Kotaku points out that microtransaction features have been tapped by many other MMOs as a means of taking a basic game free-to-play while continuing to monetize the title by granting beefier access/options for a price. Given that DCUO is just shy of seven months old, that scenario probably won't play out in the immediate future or perhaps even ever — especially since the game's price has remained steady since launch — but it's interesting to ponder the future considering fellow superhero MMOs Champions Online and City of Heroes have gone free-to-play, Marvel's Super Hero Squad Online was free at launch and Marvel's upcoming MMO written by Brian Michael Bendis will be free.

With these changes, please note that the new system won't support check payments in countries where we offer EFT as a form of payment. If you're located in a country where we offer EFT payments and you currently receive check payments, please be advised that you'll need to complete a few steps once your account is upgraded. However, no immediate action is required on your part at the moment. Once your account is transitioned to the new system, you'll receive an email notification with detailed instructions on setting up EFT payments.
I dont really see a problem. Those people will just have to open up a bank account and if they unable they can always get a prepaid card that allows direct deposit.

Early voting for SPLOST ends at 5 p.m. Friday.
As of 8 a.m. today, 845 residents had voted in office and 52 mail-in ballots had been received.
You can vote from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday at the Newton County Administration Building, 1113 Usher St. N.W. The SPLOST election will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday at the county's standard voting precincts.
Turnout for the 2005 SPLOST election was 5.72 percent, with 1,449 "yes" votes and 825 "no" votes. Early voting was not available in Georgia until the 2008 election, so no previous SPLOSTs have had early voting.
During the 1995 SPLOST election, 3,243 residents voted in favor of SPLOST and 884 voted against. The number of registered voters was not recorded.
The 2000 SPLOST election was also held during the presidential primary, which boosted the vote totals to 4,499 in favor and 2,747 opposed. Turnout was 27.8 percent.
About 10,000 votes were cast early for November's General Election.

Frank Selzler burned tons of welding rods
Mass of Christian Burial for Frank Selzler, 85, of Mobridge, was held Friday, Aug. 2, 2013, at St. Joseph Catholic Church.
Burial was in Greenwood Cemetery under the direction of Kesling Funeral Home of Mobridge.
Frank passed away Monday, July 29, 2013, at Golden LivingCenter in Mobridge.
Frank was born Nov. 20, 1927, to Frank and Magdalena (Schmaltz) Selzler in Haynes, N.D. He was one of 10 children born to Frank and Magdalena. During his early childhood years the family lived in the Wakpala and Glencross areas.
Frank married Genevieve Goldade on Sept. 19, 1950, at Timber Lake. To his union two children were born, Philiphine and Leo. Frank and Genevieve lived on the farm for four years before moving into Timber Lake and operating his blacksmith shop. During his lifetime, Frank burned up many tons of welding rods. Frank made several homemade tractors and blades during his years of work.
In the late '60s and early '70s Frank worked at Timber Lake Motors. He worked for Moreau-Grand Electric and built and fabricated several sub-stations for the company. Frank worked for Moreau-Grand for a total of 20 years and retired in 1988. He then did blacksmithing for area people. On occasion he would take time to go fishing in his boat. Frank passed his love of speed on to many generations. Everything he did was in a hurry.
Frank is survived by his wife, Genevieve of Mobridge; daughter, Philiphine "Phil" Smolik of Mobridge, her sons Brian and Ted Smolik and Ted's son Trace; son, Leo (Bev) Selzler of Mobridge and their sons Blake, and Garrett of Bismarck; sister, Mary Goldade of Rapid City; sisters-in-law, Marian Selzler, Jean Selzler and Esther Goldade; and many nieces and nephews.
Frank was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers, four sisters, and son-in-law Victor Smolik.

A Southeast Portland, Oregon couple has filed a complaint against their next-door neighbors for what they declare to be an offensive cannabis odor lofting onto their property.
Zane and Gloria Peterson were just two happy-go-lucky Oregonians until they acquired new neighbors in 2012 that apparently unloaded the aromatic disturbance along with their boxes marked "Living Room-Fragile."
The Peterson's describe an odor from what is actually a quasi-legal residential medical cannabis grow to have an overwhelming skunk like smell which Gloria is claiming has had detrimental effects on her health as of late.
"My face gets completely tingly and just paralyzed," Gloria avowed. "And my sinuses burn, my throat burns, my eyes burn from it."
The Peterson's are also proclaiming that not only is the cannabis cultivation permeation affecting Gloria's health, it is having a harmful effect on their pets as well.
"He hacks really bad, coughs. And this one here, Bartleby, he sneezes a lot," Zane decreed when referring to the ailments that two of his five rescued dogs are suffering with due to the odor.
"They've destroyed the livability of the neighborhood," Gloria said.
Gloria Peterson has emailed Mayor Charlie Hales and the Portland city commissioner's office about her concerns with the mayor's spokesperson replying that his office was unaware of the issue.
This won't be the last report we make concerning individuals having problems with powerful aromas pervading across invisible property lines and invading the privacy of their nasal cavities.
For most of the cannabis consuming community the fragrance of sweet-smelling cannabis ripening on the vine is one of nature's greatest gifts to the nasal passages, but unfortunately not everyone feels the same on this odorous topic.
Enjoy the news clip and pass the potpourri dip.

Meet Napoleon And Rojo, Portland's Therapy Llamas
Rojo, a 5-foot-tall llama, was happily accepting hugs from passersby at a fair when someone suggested his calm demeanor would make him a great therapist. That's when a lightbulb went on for his owner, Lori Gregory. She started Mtn Peaks Therapy Llamas, and now takes Rojo, along with his alpaca BFF Napoleon and a few other furry camelids to visit children's hospitals and retirement homes throughout the Portland area. The animals always get a great response from patients and caregivers, and help people forget their worries for awhile. "Everybody has their gifts that they're given," says Gregory. "And I believe our llamas are our gift that we share with the community and world." Check out the sweet video to see Rojo and Napoleon in action! [KOIN 6]

Student With F-1 Visa Marrying a Green Card Holder
An F-1 visa is one type of student visa. A green card means U.S. lawful permanent residence, which is a long-term status that can eventually lead to U.S. citizenship. Assuming it's a valid marriage, not a sham to get a green card, there are possible immigration benefits for an F-1 student who marries a green card holder.
However, there are limitations on these benefits. While the student may eventually obtain a U.S. green card through the marriage, the process is likely to take a long time – many years, in fact. Meanwhile, staying in the U.S. the entire time may not be legally possible.
Eligibility for a Green Card Based on Marriage to a U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident
The spouse of a U.S. lawful permanent resident becomes what's known in immigration law terms as a "preference relative," in category 2A. That means the person is eligible for a U.S. green card – but not necessarily right away.
Only a limited number of immigrant visas are given out to preference relatives annually. The U.S. government usually runs out of visas in this category before the end of the fiscal year (every October). Everyone who doesn't receive a visa must wait until the following year, and most likely beyond. In fact, the wait often lasts five years or more.
How Long You'll Likely Wait
A person's place on the waiting list is charted by his or her "priority date." That's the date upon which the U.S. green card holder filed the initial visa petition (Form I-130, issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services or USCIS) on the intending-immigrant's behalf.
To see the priority dates of people currently receiving U.S. visas, check the State Department's Visa Bulletin, available online. Look on the family-based chart, at the row for category 2A.
Also notice that there are separate columns for certain countries, usually showing priority dates even older than the rest. This isn't discrimination – it simply means that so many people from those countries applied for visas in that category that they have bumped up against per-country limits that also apply. They will have to wait even longer.
How Long You Can Legally Stay in the U.S.
You can legally remain in the United States for as long as you are in valid student visa status. Having an approved 1-130 on file, however, gives you no additional right to be in the United States. Only after your priority date becomes current and you have applied for a green card (to adjust status) do you have the legal right to stay here.
If you can make your student visa last until your priority date is current and you can submit an application to adjust status -- that is, get your green card in the United States -- great. If not, you must leave the United States at least within six months of the expiration date of your permitted stay as a student in order to preserve your right to a green card. Eventually, you will need to apply for the green card through a U.S. consulate in your home country.
The immigration laws contain harsh penalties for people who overstay a visa by six months or more. Those who do so face at least a three-year bar on reentry into the country; ten years if your overstay in the U.S. was one year or more. This means that if you stayed illegally in the U.S until your priority date became current, you could apply for your green card and travel to the U.S. consulate for your interview, only to then be told that you cannot return to the United States.
(Note that, as the spouse of a U.S. permanent resident who is no longer in lawful status, you will not be able to avoid traveling outside the U.S. for your consular interview, because you are no longer eligible to use the U.S.-based "adjustment of status" application procedure -- it's mostly only accessible to people who are in lawful status or are immediate relatives of U.S. citizens.)
The Permanent Resident Should Not Spend Too Much Time Outside the U.S.
The F-1 student may, as you see, have to spend a long time outside the U.S. waiting for his or her priority date to become current. What if the green card holding spouse leaves the U.S. to join him or her? That could cause the green card holder to lose his or her U.S. status, if the immigration authorities believe that the person has settled down in another country. Contrary to popular myth, it's not enough to reenter the U.S. every six months or year. If the green card holder leaves the U.S. with the intention of living elsewhere, the immigration authorities can decide, even if that person returns within a few days, that the person has abandoned his or her U.S. residence, and deny reentry.
What is true is that staying out of the U.S. for longer than six months will raise questions upon return, and staying away for a year or more creates a presumption that the person abandoned his or her residence. Talk to an attorney for details.
If the U.S. Permanent Resident Becomes a U.S. Citizen
The best thing that the green-card holding spouse could do in this situation is to keep track of when he or she will become eligible for U.S. citizenship, and then apply. As soon as a permanent resident becomes a citizen, his or her spouse automatically becomes what's known as an "immediate relative," and eligible for a visa right away, without regard to priority date.
Better yet, the spouse of a U.S. citizen who entered the United States legally can apply for adjustment of status within the United States. Any period of overstay won't matter, so long as you can get your green card application in before getting caught by the immigration authorties. No penalties will be imposed because, due to a technicality in the immigration laws, it's only when you're outside the United States that you can be penalized with a three- or ten-year bar upon returning.
Hiring an Attorney
If you have an F-1 visa and wish to remain in the United States based on marriage to a green card holder, contact an attorney. Based on a careful evaluation of your personal situation, the attorney may be able to find a solution allowing you to legally remain in the country.

10 Tips When Traveling Overseas with GPS
31 Jan 2012 Jason 3
It appears that nothing can slow the growth of tourism. Despite political instability, declining economies and the proliferation of terrorism, the lure of the overseas adventure continues to draw millions of people every year.
One thing that is making overseas travel more attractive is the growing number of location-based services that use GPS and act as a travelers very own tour guide.
For example, you could be walking down a street in Manhattan with no clue about where you are or nearby attractions. But with your personal GPS device in hand and a location-based app, in a matter of minutes you could be listening to a walking tour of the architecture you're standing next to or viewing a list of adjacent restaurants offering special discounts. Later in the day you decide you need to organize some accommodation. And once again you turn to your handy GPS device and start up an app that lists all nearby accommodation options, with prices, current offers and walking directions.
There's no doubt that GPS has revolutionized the way travelers get around foreign cities and access food, accommodation, and attractions. If you're looking to take advantage of the digital travel revolution, here are ten tips to make sure you get the best GPS experience.
1 – Get a GPS education
While there is a range of different personal GPS devices available to consumers, by far the most popular is the smartphone. Whether it's an iPhone, an Android-powered smartphone or Windows Mobile, with built-in GPS the smartphone becomes a powerful tool in the hands of the traveling tourist.
When it comes to GPS it's worth taking the time to understand how it works, times when it may not work, and its limitations (such as time taken to get a fix on your location, improved with the use of Assisted GPS).
Understanding how GPS works will help you to know what to expect and how to get the best from your GPS experience.
2 – Save on data charges – preload your maps
Most GPS smartphones allow you to connect to a Wifi hotspot, allowing you to save on data charges (which can be outrageous when you're overseas – buying a SIM card locally can help).
When connected to a Wifi, download any map data you may be using in the near future. Most map apps today allow the data to be cached to your phone, which means you can save on data charges and also battery life, if you switch off your 3G connection.
3 – Don't always rely on your GPS
It can be tempting to have total faith in your GPS device but do this at your own peril. Map data, particularly outside of main centers, can be incorrect and potentially dangerous (such as sending you down a one-way street the wrong way).
While GPS is a very handy tool it does have its limitations, such as losing satellite signals or showing a less-than-accurate position (see point 10 below).
Some location data is also unverified, added by enthusiasts but sometimes incorrect or outdated. If in doubt resort to common sense or ask a local.
4 – Get the biggest screen and best battery life you can afford
GPS not only chews through the juice but it also works better when you can see the big picture. Splash out on the biggest screen and best battery life to maximize your GPS experience, as well as installing apps that help you to manage the amount of juice your phone is using.
If you're not using them, switch off unnecessary services, such as 3G (if you've cached your map data), and turn off the phone when it's not in use.
5 – Have paper guides for backup
For most things in life it's good to have a plan B. Allow for worst case scenarios to avoid being stranded in unfamiliar surroundings. What if your smartphone is stolen, lost, damaged, or runs out of juice?
Having some paper guides or maps can be a lifesaver in situations like that. It doesn't have to be much – just enough to get you back to safety – or somewhere to recharge your phone.
6 – Get familiar with your phone before you go
While you may be waiting for prices to drop before you buy your personal GPS smartphone, it's best to allow at least a couple of months before you depart. Not only does this allow time for any faults to become evident (so you can return the device) but it gives you lots of time to get thoroughly familiar with your phone in an unpressured environment. There's nothing worse than trying to figure out how to get walking directions to the train station when you're running late!
Play with all the features in your phone. The touch gestures, the soft buttons, and customizing it to suit so you'll have fast access to the key features you need. You'll also get a good idea of the actual battery life of your device (it often varies from the printed phone specifications) so you'll know how long you can go between charges.
7 – Browse available travel apps (and get recommendations from other travelers)
Search the web for travel apps available for your device. This is one of the definite advantages of a smartphone over a dedicated GPS unit so make the most of it. New apps are coming out all the time, and while some are not worth the time it takes to download them, there are plenty of valuable apps out there that can improve your travel experience, and save you money too.
While iPhone apps had a definite head-start in the market, Android apps are gaining quickly, and other phone makers (such as Nokia with their Ovi Maps) also provide a range of travel apps.
Most apps offer users reviews which can be valuable. You can also post questions on traveler forums as Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree or FlyerTalk to get opinions from actual travelers.
8 – Tap into the wisdom of the crowds
While the internet can be a source of collective stupidity, crowdsourcing information can be a valuable way to 'triangulate' and verify locations, attractions or destinations.
Use friends on Facebook or helpful strangers on Twitter to get answers to your travel conundrums (use the #travel hashtag to improve your tweet's visibility), or search sites such as Yelp or foursquare to find useful location-based information, recommendations, or special offers.
9 – Geotag your photos
One useful feature of using your smartphone with GPS is when you take photos, you can automatically geotag them, which means it will record the exact location of where the photo was taken.
This can make it a lot easier when it comes to sorting out your travel photos when you return home. Some camera manufacturers are also building this feature into their products but generally only on higher-priced models.
10 – Remember the (in)accuracy of GPS
GPS technology is actually very accurate (learn more about how it works) and was primarily designed for the military. It was provided for civilian use, but for security reasons the signal was "adjusted" to be less accurate. Most devices, depending on the hardware and under optimum conditions, are accurate to within about three meters so they are perfectly acceptable for most travelers.
There will be times when your GPS device will be in less-than-optimum conditions, such as traveling underground or inside a building. Without clear line of sight to at least three GPS satellites, your device may make an educated guess about your location. If your device is fitted with A-GPS (Assisted GPS), cell-site triangulation and Wifi positioning then this will improve the speed and accuracy of your smartphone's location reporting, even when the conditions are less than perfect.
Travel happy(ier) with GPS
A GPS device is not a necessity for travelers but it can definitely improve the experience, and with the growing number of location-based apps under development the future of travel is only going to get easier for tourists equipped with GPS.

Liking the tips. I'm tempted to pick up a handheld hiking GPS for when I geocache.
Thaks for tips. I would add few things: don't use your device on public too often because you can be a victim or robbery, definitely be ready that maps are not accurate in all countries, and if you use phone gps – buy international internet service from your provider. I traveled central asia 5 stans tour, and got charged big bucks by att because I forgot to get international plan.

Sony MDR-1000X noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones review: Better than Bose's Quiet Comfort 35?
Bose is better at masking jet-engine drone, but Sony is no slouch on that score and ultimately it offers the better-sounding cans.
Bose is better at masking jet-engine drone, but Sony is no slouch on that score and ultimately it offers the better-sounding cans.
No matter how much you love Apple gear, you're going to have trouble loving AirPods.
How Apple could apply the lessons of its wireless AirPods to the next iPhone, Apple Watch, and even the car.
Jabra's fitness product isn't like the trackers that are offered by the likes of Fitbit or Jawbone. The Jabra Sport Coach is a pair of wireless earbuds first and foremost, with motion sensing built in. The earbuds integrate with the Jabra Sport smartphone app to relay voice coaching to the user. Rather than counting your steps, the Jabra Sport app puts a focus on pace and intensity instead.
Plantronics' BackBeat Sense headphones have a lightweight over-the-head design with soft cushions that can sit on your ears without crushing them. They are Bluetooth headphones that are simple to operate, they sound good, and you can use them with a cord if you find yourself running low on battery.
Bose has been working on technology that cancels noise -- and in effect, recreates silence -- for 35 years. The technology was integrated into its over-ear QuietComfort 25 headphones. Now it has been miniaturised and implanted into more convenient in-ear headphones, the QuietComfort 20.
If you want an unobtrusive, no-fuss fitness tracker, the SMS Audio BioSport earbuds are an interesting proposition. They are not just for listening to music while you workout; they can also be used to track your heart rate. They do this via a little optical sensor that's present in the right earbud, which bounces light off your outer ear in order to measure your pulse.
The Jabra Sport Pulse headphones are designed to appeal to those of us who like to walk, run, or hit the gym as part of an exercise program. They use a wireless Bluetooth connection rather than a cord, and they also have a built-in heart-rate monitor that negates the need for an extra strap.
Bowers & Wilkins has taken the technology from its large P7 headphones and implanted them into its second generation P5. The headphones are designed for use with smartphones when out and about, and even though they're a petite pair of headphones, they're sure to please the most demanding of audiophiles.
Four hours into my flight from Sydney to Taiwan and the faint hum of the engines sound more like a roar. It's not the sound that's driving me mad, but rather the feeling it will never stop. Ever.
A compact form factor, lightweight build, suede-like material, and very soft earcups make the Bose SoundLink on-ear headphones enticing -- and that's before you even turn them on to experience convenient and easy-to-use Bluetooth, great sound, and respectable battery life.
At $229, the SoundTrue over-ear headphones promise plenty despite being significantly cheaper than Bose's signature QuietComfort 3 and QuietComfort 15 models. The headphones' highlight is the physical design that makes them the leader in comfort.
How do you cram almost 50 years of rock-n-roll legacy into a pair of headphones? That's the weight on the shoulders of Marshall's Monitor headphones, the latest headphones from the company whose amplifiers backed rock stars such as AC/DC, Eric Clapton, The Who and Jimi Hendrix.
The Parrot Zik wireless headphones have been designed specifically for smartphone users. These Bluetooth headphones are packed full of some very cool technology including NFC, swipe touch sensitive controls and a jawbone sensor.
Audio-Technica's latest noise cancelling headphones are cheaper than Bose, and promise excellent sound quality. Noise cancelling blocks out 95 per cent of aircraft, office or study ambient noise, making the ATH-ANC9 headphones an investment worth considering for any serious commuter.

HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer
The HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer is a great device that fits perfectly into my fast paced and mobile lifestyle. My first impression of the printer itself was how incredibly compact and sleek the device was.
HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer
Wireless printing from my iPhone was also a handy feature, the whole experience was quick and seamless with no setup requirements - accessed through the default iOS printing menu options.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.

The Detroit native's 'Not Afraid' and 'Love the Way You Lie', both from his 2010 LP 'Recovery', have surpassed the 10 million sales and streams threshold.
Eminem has set another record. On Tuesday, June 10, the Recording Industry Association of America announced that the Detroit rapper had become the first artist to earn two RIAA Digital Single Diamond Awards.
Em received the honor after "Not Afraid" and Rihanna-assisted "Love the Way You Lie", both are taken from his 2010 album "Recovery", surpassed the 10 million sales and streams threshold. The former track is 10x platinum while the latter is 11x platinum.
"We are delighted to recognize Eminem as the first artist to earn two RIAA Digital Diamond Awards," Cary Sherman, RIAA's chairman & CEO, said in a statement. "This singular achievement - earning a Diamond Award on two separate digital songs - is unparalleled, and we congratulate him on forever etching a mark in Gold & Platinum Program history."
Eminem also owns two Diamond-certified albums, 2000's "The Marshall Mathers LP" and 2002's "The Eminem Show". He has sold over 37 million albums and 31 million digital singles in the United States.
The rapper put out his latest album, "MMLP2", last year. The record has spawned several singles including "The Monster", another collaboration with Rihanna that peaked at No. 1 on Billboard 100. In August, Em and his frequent collaborator will co-headline "The Monster" tour that is stopping in Los Angeles, Detroit and New York.

| Seeking FDA Actions to Counter Flagrant Violations of the Law by Pharmacies Compounding Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Drugs

| Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy means just that, identical to the hormones found in the human body. There is no public risk to health, since these hormones are merely replacing what was lost due to age, diet, or environment. These are the exact hormones that should be in the body, not synthetics, so BHRT's are much easier absorbed and assimilated by the body than other manufactured products. With the choice between synthetics and BHRT's, our patients choose BHRT as their hormone therapy. We compound these hormones in many different, versatile dosing forms for men and women that conform to the patients needs much more than manufactured products ever could. The best thing about compounded BHRT's is that we can adapt to the patients hormone levels as they improve. When our patients hormone levels change from treatment, we can adapt their therapy to reflect their new hormone levels, giving them constant proper care for their needs. BHRT's do not endanger public health, rather they improve the quality of life for those taking them. Those patients have spread, by word of mouth to their friends and doctors, the help they have received with BHRT's.

I would recommend this camera for monitoring doors and other possible entry points close to the house. It is not meant to be a long range security device.

McLEAN, Va. (AP) — The Capital Beltway, notorious both as a symbol of our political gridlock and traffic gridlock, is getting a major makeover.
The 495 Express Lanes will open Saturday on a 14-mile stretch of the Beltway in northern Virginia. The four new Express Lanes — two in each direction — will supplement the existing lanes.
Drivers who want to use the new lanes, though, will have to either pay a toll or join a carpool of three or more.
The lanes were built as part of a $2 billion public-private partnership and are part of a growing trend across the nation of so-called High Occupancy Toll lanes, or HOT lanes.
Once derided as "Lexus lanes" that would only benefit the wealthy, many early opponents of the project have come to support it.

I have a client who gets greenies (pseudomonas) no matter what I do. I have tried using double dehydrator and double primer. I have even skipped washing her hands for fear that the moisture is too much for the nail bed. She gets them every time she gets a fill. There is no lifting around the edges of her nail, just an air pocket where the stain has formed. I do not have this issue with any other clients. Any suggestions?
Sounds like this client has an unresolved infection. By law nail technicians are not allowed to provide services on infected or diseased nails. Nail technicians are licensed to work only on healthy fingernails and toenails. Should a client develop what appears to be an infection or any other unhealthy looking medical condition, such as described here, all services should be discontinued until (a) the condition has been fully resolved or (b) a written release is provided by the treating medical doctor verifying that the condition is not contagious and that the condition is unlikely to be adversely affected by nail services.
Nail technicians who attempt to solve infections or other medical conditions on the hands or feet are in violation of the federal laws that prohibit anyone but a licensed medical doctor from providing any medical diagnosis, treatments, or prescriptions. Should a client develop an active nail infection, the nail technician's responsibility is to inform the client of the unhealthy condition and then direct her to a medical doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment, if required. Telling the client she has a nail infection is considered "diagnosis of a medical disease" and is not allowed. Providing any services designed to eliminate the suspected infection is considered "treatment of a medical condition" and advising the client to use a particular cream, lotion, soak, etc., is considered "prescribing a medical treatment," neither of which are allowed.
To recap, nail technicians are not legally allowed to diagnosis, treat, or prescribe treatment for nail infections. Doing so places the client, nail technician, and salon in a risky position that could lead to a worsening of the medical condition, potential legal action, and possibly the loss of nail technician's professional license.

Shoes are a weakness of mine. I can literally walk into a store and see about 50 pairs I would like to buy. However my funds usually never allow for this splurge, leaving this on-going shoe torture as the cross I bear. So, of course as this Fashionista walked by, my eye line shot to her feet. Her outfit was already to die for, but her gladiator-heeled sandals were basically calling my name. I have a certain affinity for gladiator sandals; I once had a pair that I wore so often the soles eventually fell off and I had to retire them to their final resting place in shoe heaven (AKA my trash can). Still to this day I have yet to buy another pair. I swear this is completely out of respect, not the fact that my rent is usually due.
These gladiator heeled sandals are such a great update to the usual flat soled gladiator sandals. The heel makes them so much classier and formal. Heels are always great at elongating an individual's legs, so this style of gladiator is great for shorter girls who run the risk of looking stumpy. Give me a flat sole and my legs may look thick, hook me up with a heel and my stems are looking longer than Gisele Bundchen's.
I'm not the only one who is obsessed with this shoe trend. Gladiator sandals were seen stomping down runways all over fashion week. Rebecca Minkoff showed off a pair of shin-guard look alike knee-high gladiators, while Derek Lam revealed a cream colored heeled option. Well known designers such as Stuart Weitzman also offer the more standard version we're used to; black and flat soles.
The great thing about gladiator sandals is that they can be paired with really anything. This Fashionista did a great job of pairing hers with awesome printed harem pants. The monochromatic color scheme of all her major pieces (blazer, tank top etc.) really help to tie the gladiator sandals in nicely. Her use of a simple silver statement necklace is also just enough to add a little pop to her outfit.
How To: Want to rock this look yourself? Step one is finding your perfect pair of gladiator sandals. ALDO and Nordstrom offer a ton of affordable gladiator styles. Whether you want an ankle, mid-calf, heeled or knee-high version, they have it! Step two is finding the perfect outfit to pair with your shoe. Personally, I love pairing gladiator sandals with high-waisted denim shorts, a cute crop top and boho wavy hair. I also love pairing gladiator sandals with a cute floral baby doll dress.

Interagency Office
The Interagency Office (IAO) creates trusted partnerships with government agencies to leverage their investments and other resources, acting as a force multiplier for S&T programs and initiatives. IAO also provides a key conduit for government agencies to capitalize on and leverage S&T innovation.
IAO's responsibilities are specified in §302 (13) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002: Coordinating with other appropriate executive agencies in developing and carrying out the science and technology agenda of the department to reduce duplication and identify unmet needs.
R&D Landscape
IAO establishes and maintains a comprehensive understanding of both the internal and external research and development (R&D) landscapes, including:
- S&T programs and initiatives involving opportunities to bring technologies into the program and the potential to transition developed capabilities out to external partners;
- The R&D efforts being invested in by other government agencies;
- The capability needs of other government agencies;
- The whole-of-government and strategic context; and
- Perspectives of external world class domain experts.
IAO employs its relationships with a variety of external experts to gain knowledge and insight that can inform S&T's strategic plan and its implementation. IAO helps ensure S&T leverages other government assets and capitalizes on emerging trends in the private sector. In this way, IAO is uniquely positioned to provide value to S&T programs and initiatives by:
- Developing and expanding the influence S&T has throughout the Homeland Security Enterprise;
- Promoting better two-way communications with end users;
- Seeking an improved understanding of the capability gaps and technical needs of colleagues in the field; and
- Supporting the Under Secretary's leadership responsibilities to achieve homeland security missions through IAO collaboration and engagement with other agencies.
IAO maintains leadership roles on several senior-level committees to communicate and shape R&D strategies and discussions across the federal government. Notably, IAO contributes on behalf of S&T to the following:
- National Science and Technology Committee Council
- Homeland Security Science and Technology Advisory Committee
Dr. Keith Holtermann is the director (acting) of IAO. Dr. Tod Companion is the deputy director.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'ACFriends' started by combat_mage, Jan 30, 2013.
I love how some people didn't even read the fucking article are arguing the wrong point.
You sound like a loser.
how you doin!!!
The main point of this article is that military people, experts in weaponry, are trying to clear up the misconception and propaganda by media and some politicians about what an assault rifle actually is.
They didn't publish this to say they are pro gun.. any fucking moron knows that.
Apparently you didn't read the rest of the article.
0h yah I did mon.
Unpossible because the article was about more than just clearing up the meaning of assault rifles.
That is the part this thread seems to be focusing on.
Can we get back to making fun of TheNinthSeal?
my bad.. please continue sir.
while making fun of Ninthseal -- can we turn this into a like-fest and like the posts bashing the homophobic retard?

President Obama signed into law the Restoring American Financial Stability Act, which will create a new, independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to put in place comprehensive mortgage protections, help borrowers facing foreclosure, and rein in many risky lending and banking practices that have negatively affected low-income families. MacArthur grantee the Center for Responsible Lending, a nonprofit affiliate of the Foundation-supported Center for Community Self-Help, played a lead role in educating policymakers about the need for mortgage reform and foreclosure protections in shaping the new Bureau. The Center's leaders said the Consumer Bureau "will perhaps be the most lasting legacy of the financial crisis," comparing it to the establishment of the FDIC and other agencies created during the Great Depression.

If you have submitted your site again and again to Search Engines but you are still unable to get it indexed, it MAY be your Web hosting provider who is responsible.
If the domain sharing your server and IP Address is penalized by a Search Engine on account of spamming then your website is also expected to be banned or penalized. This will happen if there is virtual shared IP hosting.
Another situation may arise if your website is residing on a server containing illegal adult content, and that site is on the black list of Search Engines your website will be banned. While you should never assume that your site is blacklisted, you should also take precautions. Even if your site is dismissed from the rankings temporarily, you can probably clear up the mistake by contacting the Search Engine.
To be safe its best to host with a reputed Website Hosting Provider.
Your Web Hosting provider should be up 24/7.
For proper website service it must be up 100% of the time so that Users and Search Engines aren't faced with a blank page or a 404 error. Search engines have no specific schedules for crawling, so your website must be up at all times in order to maintain your Search Engine Ranking.
The Reputation of the web host should be good with Search Engines.
Although there is no clear way to identify them, web hosts that are very popular could be trusted.
One of the recommended Hosting Providers is KVC Hosting.
Sites hosted by free web hosting providers do not usually rank well in Search Engines for competitive keywords. You can also consider dedicated hosting if you have the budget for it.
You may benefit from sticking with the most popular hosting service providers, even if they are a little more expensive, rather than going for the best deal of a host with no reputation.
It is also preferable to have an individual IP address so that risk of index removal is minimized (Usually Hosting providers provide dedicated IP Addresses only with purchase of SSL).

This lode is a belt of quartz, 10,000 feet long and several hundred wide, and is a contact vein between diorite and diabase.
Quartz porphyry, diabase and diorite appear in the Ardennes.
One, a complete specimen composed of a diabase, was shaped by pecking followed by grinding.
The minerals of diabase are the same as those of dolerite, viz.
The materials filling these vents consist of agglomerate charged with blocks of diabase, sandstone, flagstone and limestone.
In Arizona chrysotile is found in veins in cherty limestone, associated with diabase intrusives.
The sandstone and trap are of the Triassic Period, and the trap of this vicinity is more particularly classified as diabase.
At St Andreasberg in the Harz it occurs both in diabase and in the veins of silver ore.
None the less, its origin as diabase can definitely be asserted of the whole mass.
Curaao consists of eruptive rocks, chiefly diorite and diabase, and is surrounded by coral reefs.

Geneva (AFP) Feb 19, 2013
South Korea faces "final destruction" if Seoul and its allies continue to push for tougher UN resolutions against North Korea's nuclear programme, Pyongyang warned Tuesday.
"We have never recognised the propagandist resolutions on sanctions by the UN Security Council," North Korean envoy Jon Yong Ryong told a session of the UN Conference on Disarmament.
"As the saying goes, 'a newborn puppy knows no fear of a tiger.' South Korea's erratic behaviour could only herald its final destruction," he insisted.
North and South Korea traditionally trade barbs at the UN forum -- which meets regularly in Geneva and focusses on a raft of global arms-control issues.
But in the wake of North Korea's latest nuclear test last week and a global outpouring of condemnation, the rhetoric was unusually high-pitched Tuesday.
South Korea's ambassador, Kwon Haeryong, hit back.
He said that Pyongyang's secretive regime would do better to ensure a better life for its people, in a country which has suffered intermittent famines in the past two decades.
"Everybody knows that North Korea is committing enormous resources to developing nuclear weapons and a missile capability. But it is very regrettable that a chronic food shortage persists and continually threatens people," Kwon said.
"Those Korean people are in a dire situation because of the bad allocation of their resources. The North Korean regime has continued to ask for humanitarian assistance from the international community. Considering this, we urge North Korea to focus on improving the living conditions for its entire people," he said.
Last week's test was North Korea's most powerful to date, with Pyongyang claiming a breakthrough with a "miniaturised" device.
North Korea's secretive regime repeatedly has rejected international calls to halt its nuclear programme, belittling international sanctions.
Jon also slammed the United States, blaming the superpower for the current stand-off with his country -- known officially as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or DPRK.
"The DPRK nuclear test is just a measure for self-defence, to cope with intensified US nuclear blackmail against it," he said.
"It is the disposition and firm will of the army and people of the DPRK to counter a high-handed policy with the toughest policy and react to pressure and sanctions with an all-out counter action," he added.
"The DPRK does not make any empty talk. It will take the toughest measure against foreign aggressors and violation of sovereignty in the future," he insisted.
The US ambassador, Laura Kennedy, said North Korea's remarks would be "offensive and unacceptable" in any setting, let alone at a conference dedicated to disarmament.

Mapping analysis shows that the miner's proposed exploration sites run extremely close to two zones protected under the federal government's marine reserves network. One site is near Karratha in the Pilbara and the other is north of Broome.
Fortescue's potential operations on the coast already reach to within about 30 kilometres of the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, about 1200 kilometres north of Perth. Fortescue's exploration applications almost completely cover the Dampier Archipelago, a collection of 42 islands and islets rich in biodiversity for which there are calls for greater state government protection. A spokeswoman for Fortescue declined to comment.
WWF Australia marine conservation spokesman Paul Gamblin said the protected areas, being only modest in size, were vulnerable to the fallout from nearby resource operations as they lacked a large buffer zone.
He said obviously there wasn't something like a wall in the ocean that prevented mining projects in state coastal waters affecting marine life in federal waters. "You need to have an integration between state and commonwealth waters to think these things through," he said.
States generally control the three nautical miles off the coast before the waters become the responsibility of the Commonwealth.
On Thursday, federal Environment Minister
Any oil, gas or seabed mining near reserves is almost certain to be opposed by conservation groups.
"We're seeing an increased threat from seabed mining globally," Wilderness Society marine campaign manager Felicity Wishart said, referring to the process of open-cut strip mining of the sea floor in search of heavy metals. "This is a major concern that we have. The impact isn't contained."
The Northern Territory government recently declared a moratorium on seabed exploration and mining.
Fortescue, which is chaired by mining magnate
A Fortescue spokesman has previously said any exploration would only occur if the company was confident it could be conducted in an environmentally sound manner.
Fortescue's coastal strip stretches almost from Exmouth on the tip of North-West Cape to 500 kilometres north of Port Hedland. The miner controls the strip largely through a practice known as "tenement parking". When an application is in a "parked" state, miners can lock out competitors but avoid paying rent and spending exploration dollars until it decides to explore the area.

The shows with wild beasts at the Colosseum were called "Venationes". These shows were held in honour of Diana, the goddess of hunting.
"New" animals were being discovered as the empire grew across the continent and Mediterranean into territories such as Germany, Gaul, Africa and the Middle East. Wild animals of particular interest were studied as well as employed in a great variety of ways. Elephants could be trained in circus acts and Giraffes used in Triumphal marches. Crocodiles and Ostriches might be put on show for their value as curiosities of nature whilst now extinct varieties of Lions might be pitched against Bears or even Elephants.
The ecological effect of this mass killing is self evident to us nowadays. Even if at that time the number of wild beasts was far higher than today it is certain that a number of varieties of animal became completely extinct as a result. For example North Africa became devoid of elephants whilst Mesopotamia lost its famous lions.
The one practical use of the Venationes was during the Carthaginian wars. Besides his great strategic talent, Hannibal surprised and won against the Romans with his elephants which had never been seen before. The Roman answer to this was to exercise against elephants in the arena so that they might get used to their behaviour in battle. Sure enough the odds were soon turned as the soldiers met the elephant charges in thin columnar formations which allowed them to channel the charge and take the opportunity to throw the elephants into confusion.
The great deal of organisation and effort required for these types of games meant a great expense on a large number of dedicated persons involved in roles ranging from capture of the animals, their transport, feeding, training and so on. For example, the "curator venatiorum" was in charge of the games' preparations. The "praepositus herbarium" looked after herbivores whilst the "adiutor ad feras" was in charge of carnivores.
The main training school for these events was the "ludus matutinus" which as already mentioned below was one of the four schools employed in the games of the Arena. Specifically trained personnel looked after the animals as well as the humans involved in the actual games as fighters ("bestiarii") or as assistants ("venatores").

So what is the PROPER way to write i guess i hav to lean english..is it... i mean i gave all the information that is relevant here.... is somthin else i hav mention..reply plz
Moreover everybody has to start someday or somwhere ...Sooner or later...regarding my problem...welll i only feared about my data which over 100 Gb and i hav no place to BAckup .......
prior to this i hav only used ubuntu which has pretty cool partitioner ... and u dont hav to b a rocket scientist to do that but in BT .... itz all basics... though i hav understood the basics of partions and all learned few commands as wel (ofcourse from internet )
i wish this forum is helpful...
HAHAHA .. so itz all " ZZZ" bothering u dont mind jus a disease i caught due to 6 months of chatting... ..
hmmm intention for using BT.. good question....
" Exploring and learning " i hav learned shell scripting and in persuit of leaning ubuntu and it features ... now BT is also in the list .....
and its not strange to FALL IN LOVE WITH BT ..THIS VALENTINE...
Well a disease can be cured
If you want to be taken serious you should get rid of all the "chat slang". It is not the way some talks if he wants to be taken serious and not being stamped as a script kiddie.
Well, you seem to search for knowledge and that is a good way. But to give you some honest and well meant advice: use the spare 20 GB to create another windows partition. Get VMWare and use the 20GB to create a VM. In that VM install Ubuntu and play around with it. If you are feeling comfortable with it, go to visit this site and get that running in the VMWare. It will teach you so much about Linux. When you worked your way through that, then you can start using BT.
BT is way to distracting if you still need to learn the basics.
If you need further help let me know. I will assist you during your learning if you want.

YUP true.....I will take care of that from next time....will use proper english ..
regarding VMware i already hav VMware installed and infact i practised the partitioning thing in VMware ..the only problem wen i run VMware is i only have 1 GB RAM so it just stucks there....
and from all of linux distros i used ubuntu most around six months i am pretty confident in handling ubuntu ......
..the link u gave is good and i will surely go through it.....
so is there any other way out with that partitioning thing...
You could use qtparted from a livecd to have a gui for doing the partitioning.

There is a number of very good reasons to write in proper english and not leetspeak, IM, txt chat etc.
This forum is viewed and used by people of all nationalities and language abilities. If you want to get have the potential of getting help from all of the forum members rather than just the ones that are native english speaking, then it makes sense to use as close to proper english as you can.
Although english is the language of this forum, it is not the native language of a vast proportion of this community.
Anything that makes your post harder to read is also likely to make people not even bother reading it, or even bothering to reply as a result of that.
When someone searches for a problem that has been covered in this thread, as you have used leet/IM/txt/whatever this thread will not show up in the results and they will be left without an answer.
There are plenty more reasons, but those should be enough for anybody.
People are not just moaning about it for no reason or just to be picky, as you can see there are very good reasons behind it.

Rick Heinrichs Joins Fourth Wall Studios As Executive Creative Director

There is already a production company called 4th Wall Entertainment. I've worked with them before. You should probably do a business name search before you go into business as someone else. Just saying.
Hey Jason C, Fourth Wall Studios was founded in 2007. Don't know if you started your 4th Wall Entertainment before then or not, but hopefully you realize that "Studios" and "Entertainment" are different words, and there's a pretty big difference between a studio producing content across multiple platforms and a guy making EPKs. Just saying.
Hey Chauncey, Sadly I didn't start 4th Wall. And I've never worked on an EPK. I have worked with them multiple times throughout the years on various films and campaigns across the globe. But as you're just learning to differentiate between your big words, such as "Studios" and "Entertainment" I wouldn't expect you to be able to grasp the world outside of your Four Walls. Keep at it, though. You'll get there someday.
Hey Jason C, I was just responding to your initial snarky bitchiness. The only 4th Wall Entertainment I could find was a "production company" founded by a child actor in 2009 that does EPKs, corporate videos, and "internet documentaries." AS they don't have any employees listed anywhere and aren't in The Studio System and don't have any info on imdb except a single credit that's in develpoment internally I figured you were that guy. So if there's another company with that name that you've worked for, my bad. They should probably set up a website and try to get listed in one of the industry directories and get some credits, or other folks will probably think they're the other 4th Wall, too. I doubt anyone will get them confused with Fourth Wall, however, since they do different things, and Fourth Wall already has lots of publicity, a five-year track record, Emmy nominations, and a $200 Million fund to produce content.
Ah, Lemony Snicket. Beautifully made and sadly overlooked film.

Calcutta: Nineteen-year-old Sanju Samson and all-rounder Karn Sharma are the new faces in the 17-man India squad, selected in Mumbai on Tuesday, for the five-match One-Day International series and a one-off T20 against England. The first ODI will be played on August 25.
With the World Cup beginning in February, the Indian selectors are looking ahead and want to put youngsters to the test. This will be an opportunity for Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman Samson and Railways spinner Karn Sharma to prove their mettle.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is back at the helm of the ODI team, having missed the Asia Cup and the three-match ODI series that followed, both in Bangladesh earlier this year.
Mumbai seamer Dhawal Kulkarni, who was picked in the ODI squad for the home series against West Indies last year but then ruled out with injury, has been given another chance. Kulkarni, yet to play for the senior team, was also part of the squad that toured New Zealand in 2009.
Suresh Raina, who was dropped from the ODI squad for the Asia Cup but led a second-string team to Bangladesh in June, is in the squad. The Asia Cup was the last time India fielded their full-strength ODI team. Fast bowlers Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav have also been retained from the squad which played in Bangladesh.
Ten members of the Asia Cup squad have been retained. There are really no surprises in the inclusion of Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin.
Stuart Binny, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Ambati Rayudu are the others who had been in the Asia Cup squad. Among those missing from that squad is Cheteshwar Pujara, who is more of a Test option now. Legspinner Amit Mishra, too, will not be seen in action due to injury.
"Amit Mishra had been ruled out since he is undergoing treatment and rehab following a back injury," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel said, after the squad was announced. Samson was part of the India Under-19 team at the World Cup earlier this year.
He finished as India A's highest run-scorer in the recently-concluded quadrangular one-day series in Australia, with 244 runs from seven innings. Kulkarni was the leading wicket-taker in the quadrangular, with 14 scalps in six matches.
The first of the five ODIs will be played in Bristol on August 25, with matches in Cardiff, Nottingham, Birmingham and Leeds following. The T20 will be played in Birmingham on September 7.
Pacer Umesh Yadav, who did not play in the Asia Cup, has been included in the squad. But Ishwar Pandey, Varun Aaron and wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik, have not been favoured with a look in this time around.
There was no place again for senior pros Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh. Ishant Sharma, who is part of the Test squad, was also not included.

It's TV writer Joe Adalian adding to NYmag.com's expanding celeb coverage. He's the latest to leave that sinking ship TheWrap (aka TheCrap) which is having terrible money problems, and wholesale staff turnovers, and persistent inaccuracy woes, not to mention only miniscule web traffic. And I almost forgot to mention its hypocritical content thievery.
NYM's Vulture Hires West Coast Editor From TheCrap Which Keeps Losing Staffers
5 Comments
Good for Joe! He's one journalist who has taken the time to learn the business. Best of luck to him.
so vindictive…is this some kind of "I told you this town wasn't big enough for the two of us" thing?
Good riddance.
Waxman gives journalists a bad name.
Thank God for karma.
nikki, you are hilarious!
I love Joe's stuff — good for him and NYM.
Now it's gonna be funny to see if/where James Hibberd goes.

Elyjah Marrow accidentally shot his roommate who was later pronounced dead at a Georgia hospital.
Ice-T's teenage grandson was arrested on Tuesday, June 24 after he accidentally shot his roommate to death. Elyjah Marrow, aged 19, was tinkering with a gun when it unexpectedly fired up and fatally wounded 19-year-old Daryus Johnson.
According to police's statement to Atlanta Journal Constitution, the incident took place at their shared Marietta, Georgia apartment. Johnson was taken to nearby WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
"Marrow was not using proper firearms safety when handling the gun," Marietta Police Officer David Baldwin told the Marietta Daly Journal. "That reckless handling of the firearm is what led to Johnson being accidentally shot and eventually killed."
Marrow was charged with involuntary manslaughter, possession of firearm in the commission of a felony, and reckless conduct. He was also charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and possession of a stolen firearm. The teen remained in custody.
Ice-T is yet to make any comment about his grandson, who appeared in his reality show "Ice Loves Coco".
