"The Goddess of Death" was, for the most part, a fairly uneventful listen; but not completely uneventful. Many artists claim that they are possessed in some way when they create, write, or paint. They don't claim to be possessed by an evil entitty, but something that pushes their talent beyond their bounds. Boring listen, incredible ending, thought provoking. 3 stars.

Watch: 'Reunion' by M83
Featuring an Adam Yauch tribute.
French dudes M83 have released their video for 'Reunion', a song which sees a return to the shoegazing synth effects and softly-spoken vocals for which the duo are known. The video is a plot-thickening sequel to their previous 'Midnight City' clip, which was notable for both its use of special effects and saxophone solos. There's no sax in this number, but what it lacks in 80s musical tropes, it makes up for in supernatural steeze, courtesy of directors Fleur and Manu (who've also worked with Sebastien Tellier).
Keep your eyes peeled around the 0.46 second mark, for a tribute to the late great Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys (speaking of which, have you heard about Money Mark's Top 10 musical moments?).
And in case you missed 'Midnight City':
Both singles appear on last year's album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.

Behind The Scenes at NBC's Fashion Star
James Deutch and E.J. Johnston, the creators of NBC's newest show dish on what it's like to work with Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, John Vavartos, what's it like to create a TV show and more.
-PJ Gach
We've watched, loved and hated some of the fashion design shows that we've seen on TV. Now comes the newest fashion design show, NBC's Fashion Star. In this show, the designers or contestants have 24 hours to create an entire line. But don't worry, they're not alone in the task. The show's full of fashion experts: the executive producer is super model Elle MacPherson, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and menswear designer John Varvatos mentor the 14 contestants every week. The show was created by fashion industry veterans James Deutch and E.J. Johnston.
The duo wanted to showcase all of the incredible design talent that lives in America's various neighborhoods. The designers on the show all have a fierce local following, but aren't known nationwide. In one night, the show's debut all that will change. They'll become household names because of James and E.J's hard work.
The two took some time out of their very hectic schedule to have an e-chat with us about the show, how it works and advice to future TV show producers and designers.
BettyConfidential: How did you come up with the idea of Fashion Star?
James Deutch and E.J. Johnston: It was born from our belief that fashion is an incredible business, with amazing talents, processes and fans that would make for truly entertaining television. We also felt strongly that we could serve three very important constituents within Fashion Star:
1. Designers who have incredible talent, but lacked the platform to showcase it.
2. The retailers and buyers who are always looking for new talent, but may not have the time to find all of the places around the country where great fashion is waiting to be discovered.
3. Customers who would (a) love to learn how an article of clothing goes from an idea to a retail floor (b) how buyers decide what to bring to market and (c) love to get access to great fashion.

BC: I understand that the both of you have a background in fashion. Were you ever under the gun like the way your designers are to create something super fast?
JD and EJ: Many times! I think everyone can relate to having a big task before them with what they believe is too little time to do it in.
BC: You're working with a seasoned designer – John Varvatos – and two very smart entrepreneurial women – Nicole Richie and Jessica Simpson. They all have different markets and design concepts, how easy or hard was it for them to work together?
JD and EJ: We saw them gel as a team almost immediately. They all share the same qualities of empathy and success and they all immediately understood that they can help each and every one of the Fashion Star designers achieve. For them this is what their life's passion is. They recognized that their ability to impart wisdom, share ideas and coaching was not only vital to the process, but truly welcomed by all the designers on the show.
BC: Who's more fun to work with, Nicole, John or Jessica?
JD and EJ: They were all a treat for different reasons and we were surprised at how fun and funny they all were. For instance, did you know that John was such a big hockey fan? We didn't! A lot of that comes through in the show.
BC: How do their public personas compare to how they are in real life?
JD and EJ: I think very few people in life are substantially different from how they are in work and how they are at play. You may see more of someone at play, but for the most part what you see is what you get.
BC: Any funny stories from the set?
JD and EJ: Lots of great moments with the designers and buyers. Whether it was seeing someone break through or add some levity to a tense moment, somebody getting surprised, seeing that moment when someone's life has changed forever. Some of it brings a smile to your face, makes your jaw drop or even get a little choked up.
More about the show, a video preview and more up next!

Hi all
I've searched through the forum but cant find anything like this (although I'm sure its a really generic question)!
I've come a long way since signing up here (mainly thanks to Pullo who is a genius!)
My next step is introducing a forum to my site.
I can easily build a forum using one of the generic builders but is this the best way?
Apologies abot the newbie questions:
A – If I use a builder does this count towards my sites web traffic?B – Can I make the login to my forum generic across the site (I'd like to have a news section where people can post)C – Can I (I'm sure I can) linke sections of the forum to my website… IE: like an RSS feed?
Any help would be extremely appreciated!
I'm at teh final stage now before I go live!
Maybe I haven't explained very well
My site is a sports news site.
I have reporters who work for my site and other users who visit. Both will provide match reports/ articles but I want to ensure the articles from my reporters are acknowledged and don't blend in to the rest of the site.
I'd like to post both posts from my reporters (Text/ video/ images) and posts from the forum on the homepage.
Is the best way to do this by using a Blog & a forum or a one instead of the other. If I was to use a forum I think I could seperate the forum into different section and only show the relevant sections on my homepage, I'm worried however that my reporters wouldn't get the shine and would blend in to be just another forum member
Hi kimbo_king. Is your current site running on any kind of CMS? For example, if it's a WordPress site, there are add-ons for a forum etc. that make all the aspects of the site integrated. Either way, you can certainly add a blog to your site and a forum. These often come ready made, and it's fine to add them to your site, and any traffic to them is traffic to your site / domain.
However, if these parts of the site are not specifically designed to work together, you'll either have to accept that they are separate parts of the site, or do a little programming to integrate them. So preferably, I'd be looking for a CMS that integrates all the features you want into one package. As I said, WordPress has this option, but so do plenty of other systems, like Drupal, ExpressionEngine etc.
phpBB is free and pretty easy to add. Anything it doesn't have there is either a mod for or you can mod it yourself. Your host will probably have a one click install for it too.
Ps you can give your reporters special badges in the forum too.
Thanks guys
My site is currently made up of HTML (Which I have learn with the aid of the sitepoint books and forum) with CSS and a tiny bit of javascript.
I have a web hosting package (IPage) and have the begginings of a forum via PHPbb (By beginnings I mean I have activated it but not populated it)
One thing I am worried about with a blog is whether I'll need multiple
My website will document news from various football leagues. The html for the leagues will be 90% the same so when I have one finished Its just a case of copy and pasting. HOWEVER the news from each league will be different. Can I do this via one blog (and direct articles based on tags or some other way) or would I need a separate blog for each?
I will be covering around 12 league to start off so this could get tricky
Really appreciate your help
PS Ralph - More than happy to do some programming if needs be I'm enjoying learning and want to get it right first time rather than a work around
You can do all of this quite easily in one blog. This is easy to do with something like WordPress or ExpressionEngine. You can divide your content up into sections, categories, tags etc. And you can have a forum integrated with all this too.
It may not be what you want to hear, but I highly recommend you choose a CMS to work with, and start building your whole site within this. Yu won't regret it down the track. It's really important to plan for the future at the beginning, so that you can serve up your content in the best way possible.
Thanks Ralph
As well as the blog side I will also be showing other things which I think require HTML so think I'll need to include my blog into my html (Not 100% sure though )
Really appreciate your help, will have a play with wordpress this evening then. Presume you mean wordpress support forums too (not had chance to look as at work) so will try that rather than the PHPbb..... Is it as customisable as PHPbb?
Everything on the web (basically) is HTML. Blogs, forums etc. are just web pages, built with HTML, CSS etc., and maybe organised on the server with a bit of PHP etc.
Presume you mean wordpress support forums too (not had chance to look as at work) so will try that rather than the PHPbb..... Is it as customisable as PHPbb?
Yes, you can add forums and all kinds of other things to WordPress, and it is fully customisable.
Playing with WP and liking the look of ths so far
I need to add a section which shows my blog, not sure If I can embed the blog direct or link to RSS feeds, either way works well
Not sure if it helps but my code is below:
I need to replace the 'match details' section with the blog/ RSS Feed
Remember that WP really is a blog out of the box, so just use WP's native blog functionality. You can either make the blog part the home page or have a different home page. But you can certainly integrate your design/layout with WP.
If you have WP-specific questions, it might be best to post them in the CMS forum.

Spica casts, also called
body casts, are frequently used to treat children who have hip, pelvis, or leg
problems, such as
developmental dysplasia of the hips (DDH). You may be
nervous about having a child in a spica cast. It can be overwhelming to be responsible for the care and cleaning of the cast. But
caring for a spica cast is not as hard as it may at first seem. After you get
into a routine, you'll find that you can handle the daily tasks involved in
cast care. You will become more and more confident that you can keep your child
safe and comfortable while he or she is in the cast.
You can help
care for your child's spica cast by:
spica cast is a hard covering made of plaster or fiberglass that may be used
as part of treatment for children who have hip or leg problems, such as
developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). In DDH, the
top of the thighbone (femur) does not fit securely into the hip socket
(acetabulum), letting the thighbone either partially or completely slip out of
the socket (dislocate).
After the doctor moves the
thighbone into its normal position, the cast is used to keep the
joint in place as it grows. Spica casts are usually
worn continuously for 2 to 3 months.
The cast:
A spica cast is used to stabilize a child's hips,
pelvis, or legs.
A spica cast is used to help abnormally
developed bones or tendons of the legs, hips, or pelvis to stay in place as a
child grows. For example, it is a common treatment for developmental dysplasia
of the hips (DDH). This is a condition in which the top of the thighbone
(femur) does not fit securely into the hip socket (acetabulum), allowing the
thighbone to either partially or completely slip out of the socket
Continue to Why?
spica cast is usually worn continuously for 2 to 3 months. This is a long time
for anyone to be in a cast, especially a young child. You want to keep the cast
in good condition so that your child will be as comfortable as possible. Also,
proper care of the cast will help the cast stay strong and be most effective in
treating your child's condition.
Caring for your child's spica cast is important
because it must be worn a long time. Taking good care of the cast will help it
be most effective and will help keep your child as comfortable as
A child wears a spica cast for 2 to 3 months.
Properly caring for the cast helps your child stay comfortable and helps the
cast to be as effective as possible.
Continue to How?
caring for your child's cast includes allowing it to dry properly, keeping it
clean, preventing infections and other problems, and knowing when to call the
doctor. You should also be able to position your child properly in the cast.
If your child's cast is made of
plaster, it may need time to dry after it is first put on. Your child will
likely be in a semi-sitting position and may need you to help him or her move.
Turn your child at least every 2 hours for the first 24 to 48 hours to prevent
uneven drying of the cast. You can use a fan to help the cast dry more quickly,
but don't use heat. When you tap the cast and hear a hollow sound, it is
Spot-clean the
cast, and do your best to keep it dry. But realize that the cast may get dirty
or wet now and then.
Focus on taking preventive measures and
cleaning the cast when needed.
Keep your child
safe and comfortable by using basic care techniques.
Your child needs physical contact with you, especially
while he or she is in a cast. As long as you make sure to take basic safety
measures, you can and should continue to hold, interact with, and provide
stimulating activities for your child.
Encourage your child's
involvement with your family.
Keep a constant
watch on your child and the condition of the cast. Although you should call
your doctor any time you have questions, talk to him or her right away whenever
your child:
Also call your doctor any time the cast:
The spica cast can be washed regularly in a
A spica cast needs to be kept completely dry.
Although you can wipe off a fiberglass cast with a damp cloth, plaster casts
must be kept as dry as possible. Sometimes you must clean an area, such as if
your child has a mess from a bowel movement. If this occurs, clean it with the
least amount of water possible and dry it using a hair dryer on a low, cool
I need to let my child rest and should only interact
with him or her when absolutely necessary.
Along with rest, your child needs stimulation and interaction.
If you follow basic safety measures, you can and should touch your child and
include him or her in family activities. In most cases, you can move your child
frequently around your home. With proper equipment, it is also recommended that
you take your child for walks and car trips outside the home.
I should call my doctor whenever the cast becomes wet
or soiled.
As hard as you might try, it is impossible to
keep your child's cast completely clean and dry all the time. There will be a
few times over the course of 2 or 3 months when the cast will become dirty or
damp. Don't panic. Focus on cleaning the area as best you can and drying it
with a hair dryer on a low, cool setting.

Here is a summary of just some of the things we are working on. Most of these will be available over the course of the next 2-6 months.
- Pending debit transactions--we'll show debit card purchases you've made but haven't cleared your account in your history so you'll have a better sense of your real balance.
- Splitting transactions into multiple categories--we realize that for many stores, you buy groceries, household items, automotive items, etc. all in one transaction. We'll allow you to break up the purchase into multiple sub transactions so you can assign individual categories to each type of spending.
- More flexible category customization options--you'll be able to add (and hide!) top level categories as well as subcategories. You'll be able to customize as much as you want to fit your needs (keep in mind that for auto-categorization to work well, you should try to use as many standard categories as possible).
- Budgets and goals--all the data is great, but today you have to do most of the work to take that data and make it actionable. You'll be able to set savings goals and spending budgets to keep better track of areas you want to monitor.

Hi Mark,
It's hard to tell what might be causing this problem, but there's a few possibilities
* the modem can't cope being connected for that long
* there is a problem with the FrontlineSMS code
* your operating system is going to sleep every so often, halting the modem connection
One thing that would really help us is if you could send us your logs - there may be some information in them which will tell us what the problem is.
I noticed this because I was just thinking of posting a followup about my own experience with this problem (or another with the same symptoms). See my post http://frontlinesms.ning.com/forum/topics/2052630:Topic:8568 and the discussion afterward, for the various solutions suggested (none worked for me).
That was two years ago. Now I am using a new version of FrontlineSMS, a new computer, new operating system (Windows 7), a new ISP, and new modem (Huawei E156B) and still having the same problem. So it is actually not a unique problem. If it's a matter of bad luck, I'm amazed that after changing everything, I'm still having the same problem. Perhaps it's an issue with certain families of Huawei?
I use Clickatell for outgoing messages, and both it and the E156B stop working at the same time, every hour or so. It's quite frustrating and means that during use I have to be constantly monitoring the program. I've thought about writing a script to stop and restart Frontline every 1/2 hour, but haven't figured that out yet.
I'm going to try installing under Linux and see if I still have the same problem.
Hi Mike,
As you say, if it's bad luck, it's -very- bad luck! Which version of FrontlineSMS are you running currently?
Hi Alex,
I am still experiencing this issue. I set my computer to not sleep but still the modem stops responding. how do i create logs to send through for you to check?
Hi Mark,
Sorry to hear you've been having this problem. If you've tried all of Alex's suggestions above, then you can submit logs within FrontlineSMS by clicking 'Help' and then 'Submit error report'.
I hope that we can get to the bottom of this issue.
Best Wishes,
Hi I have attached the logs zip file. I ran this after restarting the program so not sure whether it reflects previous errors if not. I will run again later once it disconnects again,
Thanks and any help would be appreciated.
Hi Mark,
Were you able to solve the issue? I have similar issues with the E220 (+OSX 10.6). Sends messages through FLSMS fine but cannot receive messages. Wrecking my brain trying to figure it out. Any insights would be great:)
Hi Deepali,
Thanks for getting in touch. Just to check, have you been able to receive messages at all through FrontlineSMS (even single messages)? If not, it will be helpful for you to check if the device you are using is connected in the phones tab of FrontlineSMS? If it is connected, you should also check that you have your phone set to send and receive messages by right clicking on the phone or modem which is connected. A dialogue box should appear, and you need to make sure that you selected to both 'Use this phone for sending' and 'Use this phone for receiving'. You should also just ensure that you do not have a full inbox or sent box, etc., on your SIM to allow new messages to arrive.
Mark, if you have further suggestions based on your experiences please feel free to add.
Deepali - do let us know how you get on with this, and if you need further assistance.
Hi Flo,
No haven't been able to receive any messages(not a single one), but have been able to send messages. I can see the modem connected under the phones tab, and it is set to send and receive messages. When I put the sim into a phone it works fine. The inbox/outbox has been emptied out, no pin number required. Just can't figure out what's blocking it.
When I pull out the modem I do get this message and FLSMS quits. Flsms quit unexpectedly while using the librxtxSerial.jnilib plug-in.
Have been through all the troubleshooting tips, combed the messages boards and really not sure what else to do to make it work.
Adding a Mac plug and play version of FLSMS to my wishlist now:)
Hi Deepali,
Thanks for getting back to me. It can at times be challenging to get FrontlineSMS working on Mac OS, so may be worth you checking out some tips on how to get this working, e.g. here in previous forum discussion and here in our FAQ.
Not sure if this is the problem you're having, though, so if these tips don't help please let me know and send us your logs, and I will ask our developers to help out.
Thanks for your quick reply Flo. Thankfully it wasn't a Mac issue! The sim had apparantly been storing messages (just because its in a modem, and the previous users weren't deleting them). When I plugged it into FLSMS sending wasn't a problem, but the full inbox prevented any messages being received. The Safaricom shop cleared it for me and now it's all smooth sailing. Thanks for the support!
Hi Deepali,
I'm really pleased to hear that this issue is all sorted now; thanks for letting me know.
I've read a little about your planned use of FrontlineSMS on your profile, and it sounds like you're working on a very interesting system - please do keep us posted on how it works out, and feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Little Strikers
Dashing into the local field of extracurricular education, the institution of Little Strikers aims its score within the ambit of preschool learners, drawing the enthusiasm of sporty tykes through their fusion of pedagogy and play. Classes conducted under the centre's programme involve education that emphasises three key elements of the child's progression - motor skills, cognitive development, and socialisation. To that effect, Little Strikers employ fun-filled courses that integrate cognitive learning with the interactive aspect of soccer, while throwing in elements of parental participation. Far from just kicks and giggles, the centre's essence of play-learning comes devised through endeavours of research covering coaching techniques, early childhood education, as well as cognitive and self development know-how - making for an early start that forgoes the rigid form of classroom learning while interactively introducing children to the basics of shape, colour, and number identification, and literacy. Parallel to its key focus on team play and inclusive learning, the institute also offers courses for youngsters aged between 5 and 14 under the scope of its counterpart South Side Football Academy. Under the helm of the South Side syllabus, students will pick up pointers in more advanced aspects of interaction and development including teamwork essentials, confidence-building, communication and decision-making, as well as more refined coverage of technical and physical mastery.

Surprised to see PowerVR substitute for Mali though...
I do not see GPS as one of the features which is surprising. Perhaps, Anand forgot to pen it.
Anand, any update on the "Rogue" series which will be ST-E's Cortex A15 implementation?
Also first non AMD/non IBM fabbed chip in FD-SOI? Well, let us see if ST-E has a smooth implementation so that AMD can use ST-E as a fab for its server MPUs. They are a part of the IBM consortium and hence AMD can use them with minimal changes compared to shift to TSMC/UMC. ;-) Reply

About the Book
GREAT FOR BLURB BOOK MAKERS! See how a Specific Color Value will look once printed on Blurb printers. Or use as a reference in picking the right background color for your project!
In BookSmart under the color selection picker menu for backgrounds or text, just type in the R=Red Value, G=Green Value, and B=Blue Value of a color you've selected from a printed version of this book. Voila, now you will have the same vibrant green in the book, rather than one that looks good on your monitor but prints out muddy, or too dark!
Pro's use this to fine tune and cross check your Monitor calibration, or even to set up a proof print calibrated printer profile.
MY GOAL is to provide Blurb Members exposure to a tool that may make Blurb Book creation and color printing predictable for those who are new to Blurb Book Making, who may not own monitor calibration kits, or who simple would like the desktop reference when trying to find a color for their Book project, and since these Books are printed through Blurb, you will know the quality to expect when your own book is printed.
(To ensure accuracy choose the same Workflow and Paper Type when ordering this book as the book you will be creating.)

Children found outside, alone at 2 a.m.; mom arrested
Published: Saturday, June 22, 2013 at 6:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 22, 2013 at 6:26 p.m.
A Gainesville woman was charged with child neglect early Saturday morning after her two small children — who are said to have autism — were found wandering around unsupervised, according to an Alachua County Sheriff's Office arrest report.
Arrested was Deja Sade Mitchell, 24, of 807 Victoria Court in the Southwest 20th Avenue area.
A deputy responding to a child neglect report arrived about 2 a.m. and saw the children, ages 4 and 5, outside. The door was wide open and the children were walking around the property unsupervised, the report states.
A witness told the deputy that Mitchell left the home about 10 p.m. and had not returned.
The report states that authorities found dog feces and urine throughout the residence.
Mitchell arrived about 2:15 a.m. and told a deputy that her boyfriend was supposed to be watching the children. It was later learned that he was at work and was not scheduled to watch the kids, deputies said.
Under questioning by deputies, Mitchell eventually admitted leaving the children unsupervised, the report states. It adds that she told deputies the children have been diagnosed with autism and that no one wants to watch kids with special needs.

As you come closer to delivery, you and your partner may become more anxious about the events to come. You may even have more mood swings, which seem to occur for no reason. You may become more irritable, which can place a significant strain on your relationship. You may be concerned about insignificant or unimportant things. Your concern about the health and well-being of the baby may also increase during the last weeks of your pregnancy. This can include concern about how well you will tolerate labour and how you will get through delivery. You may be concerned about whether you will be a good mother or be able to raise a baby properly.
While these emotions rage inside you, you'll notice you're getting bigger and aren't able to do things you used to do. You may feel more uncomfortable, and you may not be sleeping well. These things can all work together to make your emotions swing wildly from highs to lows.
Baby is 47.4 cm long and weighs 2.6kg. The gums inside of your baby's mouth are very hard. The teeth buds are inside of the gums and it will be four or five months before the first tooth will emerge. But until the teeth do emerge, her gums need to be able to mash up the first solid food you feed her. She will also need strong gums to suckle, whether it is from a bottle or breast.
An important part of your baby's development is maturation of the lungs and respiratory system. When a baby is born prematurely, a common problem is development of respiratory-distress syndrome in the newborn. This problem is also called hyaline membrane disease. In this situation, lungs are not completely mature, and the baby can't breathe on its own without help. Oxygen is necessary. The baby may require a machine, such as a ventilator, to breathe for it.
Now is the time to find a pediatrician for your baby. Ask for referrals; your pregnancy doctor might be able to give you one. Or ask family, friends or people in your childbirth education classes for names of doctors they like.

BRAND PROFILE :
Iron Fist is by no means an ordinary footwear company, it's artwork and styling have set it apart from many of its streetwear counterparts.
Refusing to be pigeonholed into a skate, punk, hip hop or tattoo genre, Iron Fist has grown from strength to strength purely because of its diversity and constantly innovative approach to each season. Renowned for quality product with exceptional artwork from a barrage of some of the world's best underground and street artists, Iron Fist is not for everyone, and we like it that way. Our customer is an individual, a person who creates their own style as opposed to buying it.
Products are shipped by the individual Fruugo retailers, who are located across Europe and the rest of the world. The delivery times and shipping prices vary depending on the retailer's location, the destination country and the selected delivery method.
Fruugo offers two delivery options: Standard or Express. All retailers offer a standard delivery service, and some retailers also offer an express delivery service.
Although Fruugo retailers endeavour to deliver within these timescales, please note that the above timescales are estimated and not guaranteed.
The delivery timescales do not include any customs clearing times beyond Fruugo's control.
Please allow additional shipping time for deliveries to South Africa.
All carriers deliver during normal business working hours and may require a signature on receipt, so please ensure your order is delivered to an address where someone will be available to accept it.
We do our best to ensure that the products that you order are delivered to you in full and according to your specifications. However, should you receive an incomplete order, or items different from the ones you ordered, or there is some other reason why you are not satisfied with the order, you may return the order, or any products included in the order, and receive a full refund for the items.
Certain products purchased at Fruugo cannot be returned. They fall in the following categories:
Please take reasonable care of the goods whilst in your care. Any goods returned must be in a resaleable condition. They must be unworn/unused with original tags attached and in original packaging. It is your responsibility to ensure that the goods are appropriately packaged to ensure they are not damaged in return transit.
Notifying us of a return
If you wish to return an order, or some of the products included in an order, please notify Fruugo customer care within 14 days of receiving the goods, including the following information:
Our customer care will send you specific instructions on how to ship the return package(s) to the retailer(s). Please do not ship the return package before you receive the instructions.
Shipping products back to retailers
Goods must be returned without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days after notifying us of your cancellation.
If you are returning products to several retailers, you should distribute the products accordingly and send the products to those retailers who shipped them to you initially.
We strongly recommend that you use registered mail (and insure any high-value packages), since neither Fruugo nor the retailer take responsibility for shipments that are lost or damaged during return transportation.
Please ensure you retain a proof of postage receipt so in the unlikely event your parcel goes missing, you will have proof you sent it.
You will be refunded within 14 days of the retailer receiving back the goods. We will notify you by e-mail once the products reach the retailer and are accepted for return. Where a retailer has offered to collect the goods, you will be refunded within 14 days of cancelling your contract.
Unless a product or products you wish to return arrived to you damaged or faulty, you are responsible for the return transportation costs.
Providing you are returning all the products from a specific retailer, we will refund the standard shipping costs you paid for the original delivery. If you chose to pay for a non-standard delivery, we will only refund the cost of our least expensive, standard delivery.
Damaged or faulty goods
If you receive a damaged, broken, or defective product, please notify Fruugo customer care as soon as possible. Include at least the following information:
We will generally instruct you to ship the damaged product back to the retailer. As soon as it reaches the retailer, they will send you a replacement product. If the replacement can't be made, or if you wish to cancel the order, you will be refunded in full. You will also be reimbursed for reasonable returns postage costs for damaged or faulty goods once we have received your postage receipt.
If the outer packaging of your order is clearly damaged on arrival, and you are suspecting that the products are damaged as well, you can either reject the delivery or accept the goods and sign for them as damaged. In both instances, please notify Fruugo customer care as soon as possible.
Refusing delivery
If you refuse to accept delivery of all or part of your order (where the products or packaging do not appear to be damaged or defective) you will be responsible for the postage charges. Any fees and charges incurred by the retailer due to a package being refused will be deducted from your merchandise refund.

Since 2006, I have argued that the Super Bowl should be moved to SATURDAY. And whether you want the Monday afterward made into a national holiday, which will never happen, or to move the game to Saturday – it just makes sense to move the game from Sunday.
But let's cut to the chase about why: It's an argument for alcoholism as on the day that's essentially become an American national holiday, we drink, eat, we drink more, we digest venison chili, and the next day we really suck at work and just want to recover and talk about what a letdown the game was.
Now ESPN's Kenny Mayne has jumped into the discussion and taken up the mantle at MoveTheBigGame.com.
"I've been reporting on sports for what feels like 56 years and I can say without question that the Super Bowl is every bit as big as the Grey Cup – don't ever question me," said Mayne, while wearing a pair of pants. "But having the big game on Sunday is about as relevant as something not relevant. It's time to move the Super Bowl to Saturday and I'm doing it with the help of CafePress because they care about America because they're the most Americanized American place on the Internet machine pretty much, well, ever."
Visit MoveTheBigGame.com and you can find a very funny video (below) of Mayne beating the streets of New York to make his argument, along with a point-by-point outline and links back to CafePress.com merchandise supporting the movement. Check it out:

The Mets announced today that they have lowered the ticket prices for 2011 by an average of 14 percent from this past year. Season and ticket plan holders will receive an extra 10 percent discount. However, the cheapest ticket will be $12, as opposed to $11 in 2010.
It's a good thing, too, as the Mets' performance has not been worth the price of the tickets, especially the more expensive ones. The Mets' home attendance in 2010 was 2.55 million people, an average of 32,401 per game. That's down from 3.15 million, an average of 38,941 per game, in 2009. The Wilpons are no doubt hoping lowering the ticket prices will get more people in the gates.
Below is the official release from the Mets with the breakdown of what is going to be cheaper, as well as the brochure in .pdf format of the season ticket holder renewal options, 2011 game schedule and individual game ticket prices.

I'm re-coding an old web site from scratch, but the client wants to keep the design more or less unchanged. I've got as far as a basic HTML5 template with the Home Page content. I have converted the banner Flash file using Google's Swiffy, so that it will work on iPads etc (not tested yet, but that's the intention).
The Swiffy file is a JSON object, and much easier to 'embed' (using script tags) than SWF or video. It may have a great future, but I'm having a problem.
I have uploaded this page (mainly so the client can see it). It's at http://webadit.co.uk/torrbuan. Using that link it works OK, the banner 'movie' displays properly, and the rest of the content is there. The 'Home' link is the only one I've put in so far.
However, if you click http://webadit.co.uk/torrbuan/index.php (or the 'Home' link), there's a problem. The banner movie displays, but without its background. I refer to the background of the movie, not the background image of the <div>. The rest of the page looks fine.
This does NOT happen on my local server, no matter which form of the link I use. In any case they should surely be functionally the same ? (the .htaccess selects index.php first, and there are no other index files). The first link MUST be calling index.php because that's the only way to load the template.
I've tried reverting to the original SWF, and that displays OK in both instances.
I cannot understand what would cause only part of the Swiffy file to function. It's possible of course that the problem lies elsewhere, but I'm at a loss as to what it could be. Every test I've tried so far shows the versions of the page to be identical. It's just that one lacks the background to the movie.
I can't see a difference between those two pages. What am I missing? Is the "video" the moving bit at the top?
Thanks for your reply.
Yes. Top centre. What I'm seeing with the second link is just the moving text, and no hills in the background. What browser were you using ?
I'm developing with Firefox. Since my initial post I've discovered it's OK in IE9, Safari and Chrome. So it's a Firefox problem, and I get the same on another computer.
I'd understand a bit better if NEITHER link worked correctly in Firefox. What perplexes me is that we all know (dont' we ?) that [http://webadit.co.uk/torrbuan and [URL="http://webadit.co.uk/torrbuan/index.php"]http://webadit.co.uk/torrbuan/index.php](http://webadit.co.uk/torrbuan) are functionally one and the same. There's not even anything complex in 'index.php' yet:
/* Control script for Torrbuan web site 23 April 2013 */
require_once "templates/wildlifeTemplate.swiffy.php";
// require_once "templates/wildlifeTemplate.html.php";
and there are no other 'index' files. I'll try removing the commented line, but that smacks of desperation.If it is a Firefox problem, why would it be OK on my local server, but not when I access remote files. Same browser in both cases.
These are largely rhetorical questions, which I'm trying to answer myself. But maybe I am not seeing the wood for the trees.
Hm, I was using Chrome. That Swiffy code looks too complicated to me. Obviously it doesn't play well with FF. How about using <video> instead, with a Flash fallback?
I agree the Swiffy code looks complex, but it's 'only' a JSON object, and it was very simple to embed (not that it used the <embed> tags, rather a pair of <script> tags). As I understand it, it uses SVG etc. to create the moving images. But there's clearly an issue with Firefox, as yet unexplained.
I was going to use <video>, but that would mean getting the SWF file converted to video, and I found Swiffy before I found a free video converter that worked well. The one I did find (on a free trial) not only inserted a huge watermark, it also added a red cast to the image.
Is there one you'd recommend, please ?
Two really good ones I've used are [Miro video converter and [URL="http://handbrake.fr/"]Handbrake](http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/).
Thanks. I'll give them a try.
LATER: I had a quick look. Neither seem to take SWF as input. Unfortunately that's all I've got to work with.
I found one called pixelplant which did an on line conversion and sent back a set of files for embedding. I was even able to edit one of the background images. I've not yet done the embedding bit, so can't comment further until later today.
Seems a shame that Google's Swiffy doesn't work reliably, though, it was so easy. I can't find anything on Google's web site about it. Perhaps another thing they've quietly abandoned.
O, sorry about that. I thought they did.
I found one called pixelplant
Looks like a good find. Bookmarked.
I didn't see 'SWF' or 'flash' listed in the list of possible input files, but i suppose it might be worth trying.
pixelplant worked, but so far I've not been able to stop the result from looping endlessly.
I have a problem with Swiffy as well:
I've noticed HTML5 outputs from Swiffy don't run if you're offline, meaning that you sample won't run in an offline ipad. Is there a way to make it work offline?
I can't immediately answer that question as I run a local Apache server on my computers. Next time I run the site with the Swiffy component I'll investigate.

Spa Service Spotlight: Samunprai Massage
As a spa professional, I get treatments as often as possible. At home in San Diego, I stick to basic massages and facials that help with maintenance and keeping me healthy but when on vacation, I indulge! I get as adventurous as possible and pick a unique spa treatment or unique massage that I know I can't get anywhere else.
Vacations have been few and far between this year so yesterday, I decided to spoil myself in my own San Diego spa backyard. The Spa at Paradise Point offers a wide variety of massage treatments from the basic Swedish to a two-hour Javanese Lu'lur Ritual inspired from the exotic isle of Bali. Yesterday I was feeling in need of something that would energize me, but not in that way that my morning mocha does. I needed a calming energy. My massage therapist recommended the Samunprai massage treatment, also known as Thai Herbal Therapy.
This 80-minute unique massage has three distinct Samunprai massage techniques to nurture your tired spirit. The provider at our San Diego spa used a beautifully choreographed routine that included a hot poultice filled with medicinal herbs like lemongrass and ginger in combination with a healing blend of acupressure and aromatherapy techniques. It was a perfect mix to relieve muscle tension and also help me relax and unwind.
The best part of the treatment is I got to take the herbal poultice with me and to continue my spa experience in my San Diego home. I put it in my evening bath which infused the water with the aromatic, medicinal herbs and was a quick, easy way to return to the tranquil state I was in during the original spa treatment.

TIVIDALE manager Stuart Scriven says his side are embracing the challenge of fighting on three fronts as they get to the business end of the season.
His side are top of the Midland Alliance and are still competing for silverware in the JW Hunt Cup and Walsall Senior Cup.
Tividale maintained their top-of-the table status with a 2-0 away victory over local rivals Causeway United last Saturday. Two second half goals from Leigh Downing gave them a hard-fought three points.
That win came just two days after they had booked a semi-final spot in the JW Hunt Cup thanks to a 4-1 away win against Wolverhampton Casuals.
A Tividale side featuring a total of 10 changes from the last league game overcame Casuals despite being 1-0 behind at half time. Two goals each from youngster Matt Morgan and Garfield Robinson put Tivi through.
The results keep them firmly fighting on three fronts and manager Stuart Scriven said his side are enjoying the challenge.
"It will be difficult to win all three trophies, but it's something we will be aiming to do. Our main priority is the league but it would be very nice if we could pick up some other silverware along the way," he said.
Tividale were due to take on Rocester away in the league last night before travelling to Walsall Wood in the quarter-finals of the Walsall Senior Cup on Thursday night. A busy week will then lead to Tivi playing away at Westfields this Saturday.
Scriven thinks the strength of his squad will give them a big chance of success on more than one front.
He added: "We made a lot of changes in the cup game against Wolverhampton Casuals. We played squad players, recent signings and some young players from our under 18 side. All of them came in and did really well for us. Having that option meant I could rests some other players in preparation for the Causeway game.
"The fixtures come think and fast now, especially because we are in three competitions, but we are going to embrace it and give it our best shot and win as much as possible."

What causes substance abuse/chemical dependence?
Cultural and societal norms influence acceptable standards of substance use. Public laws determine the legal use of substances. The question of whether there is a normative pattern of substance use in adolescence remains controversial. Substance-related disorders in adolescence are caused by multiple factors including genetic vulnerability, environmental stressors, social pressures, individual personality characteristics, and psychiatric problems. However, determining which of these factors are primary and which are secondary in adolescent populations has not been determined. Most of the knowledge available regarding substance use and abuse comes from studying adult populations. A lack of research studying youthful substance use and abuse leaves questions concerning how it differs from substance abuse in other age groups unanswered.
Who is affected by substance abuse/chemical dependence?
Parental and peer substance use are considered two of the more common factors contributing to youthful decisions regarding substance use. Alcohol use among adolescents has increased during the last 10 years.
Some adolescents are more at risk of developing substance-related disorders, including adolescents with one or more of the following conditions present:
What are the symptoms of substance abuse/chemical dependence?
The following are the most common behaviors that indicate an adolescent is having a problem with substance abuse. However, each adolescent may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of substance abuse may resemble other medical problems or psychiatric conditions. Always consult your adolescent's physician for a diagnosis.
How is substance abuse/chemical dependence diagnosed?
A pediatrician, psychiatrist, or qualified mental health professional usually diagnoses substance abuse in adolescents. However, adolescent substance abuse is believed by some to be the most commonly missed pediatric diagnosis. Adolescents who use drugs are most likely to visit a physician's office with no obvious physical findings. Substance abuse problems are more likely to be discovered by physicians when adolescents are injured in accidents occurring while under the influence, or when they are brought for medical services because of intentional efforts to hurt themselves. Clinical findings often depend on the substance abused, the frequency of use, and the length of time since last used, and may include the following:
A variety of treatment programs for substance abuse are available on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Programs considered are usually based on the type of substance abused. Detoxification (if needed, based on the substance abused) and long-term follow-up management are important features of successful treatment. Long-term follow-up management usually includes formalized group meetings and developmentally age-appropriate psychosocial support systems, as well as continued medical supervision. Individual and family psychotherapy are often recommended to address the developmental, psychosocial, and family issues that may have contributed to and resulted from the development of a substance abuse disorder.
Prevention of substance abuse/chemical dependence:
There are three major approaches frequently used to prevent adolescent substance use and abuse, including the following:

crazedmodder - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkOk so the Ativ 9 Plus is 13.3 inches? And the lite? I only wanted to know about if the 15" is getting a screen that is actually good! Kind of a lame reveal.

Mountainjoy - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkSo does Windows 8.1 then have a scaling fix or is that 3200x1800 13.3 inch screen almost impossible to work on? Reply
peterfares - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkI'm surprised that no one knows that Windows can scale since Vista.
3200x1800 works excellently because it is twice the width and height of 1600x900 (great for a 13.3") and at 200% it can pixel-double things which aren't DPI-aware (so things don't look like crap). Reply
ShieTar - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkActually "working" on high-resolution screens hasn't been a problem since Windows XP. It's mostly games that refuse to support DPI scaling. Reply
efeman - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkCould someone please explain to me why these kinds of displays are happening, yet us desktop enthusiasts are stuck with a stagnant monitor market (that has been so for years)? The R&D should be trickling... up... to us, shouldn't it? Reply
peterfares - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkIt doesn't even require R&D to make high resolution screens. The tech has existed for quite some time. The 1920x1200 15" laptop screens had way higher DPI than we have ever seen on a desktop. Reply

stepz - Friday, June 21, 2013 - linkATIV Q looks almost perfect. I would buy it if it had official Linux support. I currently have a Samsung ultrabook and the amount of BIOS and power management bugginess under Linux is simply atrocious. I swore I wouldn't buy any other Samsung product until they clean up their act and start producing non-buggy BIOS'es. So I'm now hoping that Dell, Lenovo or some other OEM with decent Linux support does something similar. Reply

On 6 September, 2008, the official Indonesian news agency Antara carried extracts from an interview with Adnan Oktar in Istanbul. Antara, which publishes in Indonesian and English, carried the interview under the heading "Harun Yahya: "Indonesian Muslims Are Preparing to Greet the Golden Age":"
The Turkish intellectual Dr. Adnan Oktar, known across the world by his pen-name Harun Yahya, says that Indonesian Muslims must prepare themselves to welcome the Golden Age within the next 10 years.
During a private interview with Antara in premises on the shore of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey, on Friday he said: "If you are united and not divided, then Indonesia will be the center, insha'Allah, of the Islamic Renaissance in Asia. We are carrying out the same 'renaissance' for Europe in Turkey."
Harun Yahya is a respected Muslim intellectual who plays a fundamental role in the struggle to spread Islam in Turkish society.
"Islam is already on the rise in Turkey, and of course in Indonesia," he said.
(Representatives of) Harun Yahya visited Indonesia two years ago for the International Islamic Intellectuals Conference and witnessed the powerful understanding of Islam in Indonesia and the growth in its practice... Harun Yahya, who has written hundreds of books and prepared many DVDs about Islam and whose works have been translated into many languages, said, "The party atmosphere in your country at present still seems to be divided, but insha'Allah a union for Allah will emerge."
The foundation's website attracts 5 million visitors every month.
He emphasized the importance of Muslims in Indonesia, Turkey or anywhere else in the world engaging in a struggle for power by democratic means, not through terror, violence and anarchy. He also said that, "Islam is compatible with democratic principles" and suggested that "we struggle through democratic means."
He went on to say that following the attacks of September 11, 2001, "Islam will rise again within the next 10 years."
"Most of the Muslims favor moderation and peace. Terror and violence are not the spirit of Islam," he said.
But radicalism and terror merely lead to an increase in fear of Islam in Europe and Western country. The government model of 500 years ago in the Ottoman Empire can put an end to the West's fear of Islam and to their paranoia regarding Islam and Muslims. Throughout their reigns the Ottoman sultans always treated Christians and Jews with great tolerance, he said.
Indonesia and Turkey can play a significant role in defeating terror and overcoming the fear of Islam in the West. They must wage a campaign in order to prevent prejudice and misunderstanding in these problems.
Dr. Harun Yahya said, "Our mission is for the West to understand Islam correctly, not wrongly."

With the beautiful autumn weather now here, it's easy to turn my eyes toward the trees as I travel from home to work and drive around Bureau County for my various assignments.
Each year, I eagerly watch the trees for those first tinges of reds and gold after a summer of greens. I'm always amazed at the beauty of those trees as they are transformed each fall into kaleidoscopes of color.
Of all the wonderful parts of nature, I admit I've been partial to trees my whole life.
Coming from a timber business background, my family depended upon trees, but we also took care of trees, replanting and planning for future generations. Trees represented much more than just a livelihood to me.
I remember being in a college class one time when we were asked to chose our favorite part of nature and explain why. I chose the tree, for its strength and for its endurance in the time of storms. A friend of mine chose the wind because it was always moving. Trees were stuck in the ground and immovable, she said.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
But I still contend that trees can be a wealth of encouragement and inspiration to us, if we take the time to walk slowly.
The other day, my daughter brought to my attention a seven-point listing titled, "Advice from a Tree," by Ilan Shamir. The author's name was originally Scott Alyn, but he changed his name in 1996 to Ilan Shamir, which apparently means protector of trees. His new name more clearly reflects his passion for trees and the inspiring messages they bring, he said.
According to Shamir, there is much we humans can learn by observing trees and how they handle the lives they are given. From his study of the tree, Shamir says he has taken the following advice:
"Stand tall and proud.
"Sink your roots into the earth.
"Be confident of your natural beauty.
"Go out on a limb.
"Drink plenty of water.
"Remember your roots.
"Enjoy the view."
Shamir's "Advice from a Tree" made me smile, but it also made me think. I would do well to follow the tree's advice, I think.
Maybe sometimes we, as people, tend to get too fancy, too deep, too complicated when it comes to figuring out how to live our lives. I know we are supposed to be profound and wise as adults, but sometimes the simpler things may be the most profound, the most encouraging.
For me, I've written down the "Advice from a Tree" points on little cards to keep at work, in my purse, on my night stand. Sometimes it's too easy to forget when you hear something worth remembering.
As always each autumn, I plan to take a couple extra rides through the countryside to enjoy the turning colors of the fall leaves. But hopefully, I will also remember there's more to a tree than just its colors.

At 3:32 p.m., Baltimore County Police and Fire Personnel responded to Pulaski Highway and the Harford County line in reference to a call for a pedestrian that had been struck by an automobile. Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered an adult male lying in the street with traumatic injuries. He was declared deceased at the scene by medical personnel.
The initial investigation into this incident has indicated that a 2007 Honda Accord was traveling west-bound on Pulaski Highway crossing from Harford County into Baltimore County. An adult male pedestrian was crossing Pulaski Highway from the north side to the south side. He was not in a crosswalk. The Honda Accord struck the pedestrian as he crossed the roadway.
The Honda Accord remained at the scene.
The pedestrian has been identified as 27-year-old Paul Robert Mack with a last known address in the 6800 block of Broening Road in Dundalk.
The Baltimore County Police Crash Team is actively investigating this incident.

Creative Week: Calling all film and video buffs!
June 20, 2012
After our first buzzing Twitter Chat last week (resulting in us trending in the UK!), we can't wait to discuss the glittering world of film and video this Thursday. Join us at the same time (6.30pm – 7.30pm) on Twitter and use #CreativeWeekUK to take part.
Recently, there's been growing pressure for production companies to deliver more for less and we can't wait to hear your view on whether this is leading to lower standards, or driving the industry forward with renewed creativity. Some of the topics up for discussion include;
- Are quality standards being affected by reduced budgets – or are studios forcing more creative solutions instead?
- How could clients make it easier for you to do great work within their budget and timescale requirements?
- Do clients just expect you to do more with less, or are they approaching you with less ambitious ideas?
We'd love to hear your thoughts on this and the other questions we'll be posing, so follow @AdobeUK to watch the conversation from the start.
Remember, everyone who uses #CreativeWeekUK in their tweets during the Twitter Chat will automatically be in with a chance of winning tickets to the Film & Video day of Creative Week on Wednesday 11th July, which will be jam-packed with exclusive demos, lively debates, creative challenges and inspirational case studies!
If you aren't one of the lucky ticket holders, we'll be broadcasting all the sessions live online, so why not register now?

Until several years ago, this term was given to collections of DNA whose functions were unknown to scientists. For the time being, they referred to these long sequences that they were unable to describe as genes as "junk DNA." They also suggested that these long sections of DNA, which served no purpose according to their understanding at the time, were evidence of evolution.
According to this thesis, junk DNA was composed of segments that had accumulated during the evolutionary process, but which now had no use.
This claim, based on no scientific grounds, consisted solely of unfounded speculation. The reason why it was so easily able to find a place in the literature was that in those days, very little was known about DNA. The functions of those parts of DNA known as "junk" had not yet been brought discovered.
However, with the Human Genome Project and other similar genetic research, it emerged that genes were constantly interacting with one another during the protein-production process. (See Genome Project, the.) During the course of this production, It was realized that no one gene works independently of other DNA segments. The point we are at today shows that while one gene works, especially during the initial protein codification phase, parts of the DNA that do not constitute genes help regulate it. For that reason, any scientist interested in genetics or who closely monitors developments no longer attaches any worth to the concept of junk DNA.
The fact that these DNA segments are in a constant state of activity has actually been known for a considerable time, whether evolutionists like it or not. Molecular biologists from the Harvard University Medical Faculty and physicists from Boston University shed light on this matter in a report titled "Does nonsense DNA speak its own dialect?" published in Science magazine in 1994.233 As a result of their research into 37 DNA strands containing 50,000 base pairs, taken from various living things, they reported that the "empty" DNA that makes up 90% of human DNA is actually written in a special language.
In fact, this concept is simply the latest example of the "vestigial organs" that evolutionists have been proposing since the beginning of the 20th century. (See Vestigial Organs thesis, the.) At that time, many evolutionists suggested that many organs whose functions had not yet been discovered (for example, the appendix and the coccyx) were useless, vestigial organs and left behind in the course of evolution. Later medical research, however, revealed that these organs imagined to be useless actually performed important functions. The appendix, for instance, was shown to be part of the body's immune system, and the coccyx to be an attachment point for important muscles.
Today the same thing applies to those parts of the chromosome that some would like to consider vestigial DNA. Yet as our biological knowledge increases, so this claim is increasingly unfounded.
